Why I Love MOBA

Image
MOBA simply known as multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) which is a genre of strategy video game. It is a game where complex strategies are played out during a game to challenge another team of similar people in determining objectives that are present such as taking down towers and ultimately the fort behind it. Its probably gonna be something as complex as this :   Woah, what, how is that even fun; nah just kidding 😝. Such example of these games that I played and classified into MOBA is DOTA2, Heroes of the Storm and Civilization VI. I do enjoy these games as they are not only challenging to my mind but tests my ability to react to sticky and messy situation when a fight breaks out. It tests my capability to translate the grasp of the situation into something easier for me to take advantage of the small opportunity to enable my team to survive and win the game. Apart from that, I absolutely enjoy teamwork within my team. Gotta say there are times when I kinda flipped wh

Why I love Roadtrips!

Road trips are full of fun and exciting adventures with your friends or family. It is certainly a great way to relax and spend quality time with them. Road trips are also a great way to explore different places depending on the destination. I find road trips relaxing and fun as I get to spend a lot of time with my friends and also to enjoy a good adventure. One of the recent road trips I went was to Newcastle. Newcastle is a harbour city in the Australian state of New South Wales. Its plentiful beaches are linked by the Bathers Way, a coastal walk stretching between Nobbys Beach and Merewether Beach. The journey up to Newcastle from Sydney city takes approximately 2 hours with car. We stopped at Avoca Beach along the way to have lunch and enjoy the scenic view of the beach. Besides that, we were lucky enough to have the amazing weather that was enjoyable for picture taking sessions.

During this Easter break, some friends and I decided to climb Australia's highest mountain, Mount Kosciouszko. Mount Kosciuszko is located on the Main Range of Snowy Mountains oin Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales.  The mountain has the height of  2,228 metr es (7,310 ft) above sea level,  whic h makes it Australia's highest mountain.  We started our journey from Sydney to a small little town called Jindabyne, where we stayed overnight before heading off to the peak of the mountain. The total journey took us 6 hours to drive there, imagine how exhausting that can be!  Day 2, we started off early in the morning as we do not want to reach our camp site late. We began to track from Charlotte Pass at 10am, which is the starting point of the hike. There are several hiking trails which leads to the summit point, depending on preference and fitness of individuals. We chose the Main Range Track for our hike as this trail has more scenic views. There were also scenic l
