Suddenly, the heat wave rears its ugly head after nights of blissful rain. Our girl doesn’t like it at all. She’s now sleeping sans shirt, but with her own blankie to cover herself up. Come night time, hubby wraps her up like a human popiah. So so so cute. <3

Occasionally, she’ll raise up both her chubby arms and expose her underarms for the world to see. So so so adorable. <3 I’ve taken photos with my crummy mobile phone but have yet to upload them.

A part of me wants to tell the world how perfectly… perfect she is (for want of a better word) and another part of me feels reluctant to share her. I know she’ll grow up someday and will eventually leave the nest and all but for now I just want her to be my tiny bundle of blackmailing joy. :P Speaking of which, she has the habit of gripping my finger while she sleeps and if I so much as sneeze she’ll open ONE solitary eye and issue a warning look that seems to say: “Move one inch, and hear me roar!”

Scary. ;_;

DS owners: rejoice! Niko Bellic and his bevy of beauties might be coming to the DS come June or July 2008, according to this source.

This juicy piece of news doesn’t really hold much truth at this time but I really hope R* could churn this one out well. Even if the game isn’t as extensive as the one we’re enjoying right now on the XBOX 360/PS3, I’d love to see how it’ll turn out to be in the DS. More missions I suppose. And more of the hilarious dating elements please?

Then again, because this gaming platform is targeted to both kids and adults, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see stuff like strip clubs and humping hookers inside Niko’s newly acquired convertible. Argh so torn! Let’s wait till R* announce this for real. But one thing for sure, if it does come out in the DS, we won’t see any downloadable content at all. This reminds me, I gotta go stock up on MS Points soon. :)

Today marks the fifth day we’ve gotten our copy of GTA IV for the XBOX 360. This also means we’ve had five sleepless days and nights playing the game. Hubby has just gotten his $250,000 reward in the bank robbery mission and me, I’m er still in the first mission or so. Don’t have much time on my hands to play with our baby demanding my full attention so I’ll let hubby complete the game first. Hopefully we’ll acquire a new TV and another console for myself because honestly I can’t see much of the game on this miniscule screen. I won’t say how small but let’s just say my short sightedness is really, REALLY bad!

But so far, I love the game and don’t foresee us trading it in, ever. Even after 100% completion, this game still has its own value. It’ll be fun to play cops-and-robbers in multiplayer, and let’s not forget the hookers you can bang into right after you bang them. :) I’ve nothing against sex workers but their nasal cries amused me no end :)

Anyways I love all the little nifty details in this game. I’ve compiled a little list which will definitely grow in time.

• I love the random people hanging around the streets of Liberty City, my favourite being the window washers and the hard hat-clad construction worker directing traffic outside the construction site he works at
• cute little puns like the “100% Fowl” tagline outside their fast food outlets (fowl as opposed to foul?)
• and last but not least… THIS!

We all know that Liberty City is modeled after the NYC but look at this shit, it’s absolutely hilarious!

It’s the Statue of Happiness! With an extremely er, HAPPY face AND a cuppa latte in her hand, no less~!

Also notice how her breasts are more pronounced. It might just be me but I do take note of little details like these.

R* is teh good shit :)

I’m sure everyone would’ve noticed this by now but I would like to say this again: That GTA IV lollipop girl is so hot! <- this coming from a perfectly straight gal without any lesbian tendencies whatsoever (okay maaaaybe a tad bit!).

Who, or WHAT is she? Rumour has it that she’s one of the many prostitutes traipsing along the streets of Liberty City. Most people just roll their eyes and say that she’s merely a cover girl for GTA IV, just like Miss Blondie in GTA San Andreas. Me, I think she could possibly be one of the girls you can date from the Internet. OR! She could be the real face for Michelle after undergoing plastic surgery to remove her dour mask! Okay fine I’ve nothing against the sweet gal (actually she’s not really that sweet as you’ll find out later on in the game) but she’s rather plain looking.

Anyway, I’ve digressed enough. It seems that an IGN staff found out that said lollipop girl could’ve been modeled after her! I see the similarity between these two, especially in her nose. Joint Rockstar + IGN publicity stunt or purely coincidental? You judge. :)

Edit: They say she’s a sex worker and can be seen doing her rounds somewhere in the docks. Dang it! :(

I’ll be updating rather regularly now that I don’t need to report to no crummy ad agency every morning :D Expect to see random articles, live LIFE updates and blog posts about XBOX 360 games I want to play but am unable to due to: a) lack of time b) reluctance to share the Box with hubby
