Woohoo! Zapfic is finally back!Here's my entry this week!John returned home to see his daughter looking terrified.His daughter mumbled, "There's a monster beneath my bed...."Feeling confused, he looked down and then he saw two eyes staring at him. He shone his torchlight, and it was a teddy bear.

Happy New Year!It's time for another quarterly stocktake of my blogging adventures on Hive. Cool thumbnail, isn't it? It's done by the talented @mightpossibly!As a quick introduction, I made my first post on 29 Sep 2021 and it was an introductory post about my Splinterlands journey. Since then, it has been around 3 years and I have been actively posting and curating on Hive. Time flies indeed!

Time flies! Just completed the 194th brawl with my awesome guild, which is none other than Pizza 2 The Deep Dish! *Fun In The Discord Chats*Fun In The Discord ChatsReally appreciated the interaction in the Discord chats within the Pizza guilds. During the preparation phase, there's a lot of information sharing and discussion on who to fill each fray. During the brawls, there were reminders to members to complete their brawl battles. And after the brawls, there were celebratory messages and some members (including me) would write about our experience in the brawls. Aside from brawls, I thought the donations were also very well organised and tabulated, with lucky draws to incentivise donors as well.

What challenges do you face in the next twelve months and how have you personally planned to overcome them?It's interesting that I always have a rough idea of my medium to long term goals in life but I haven't looked at them from a short term perspective, i.e. in the next twelve months. So I thought this is a good opportunity to sit down and reflect on some of the possible near term challenges.

It's a new edition of Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge and the theme this week is a very special one! It's The Art of Synergy!There's quite a few interesting card combinations that worked exceptionally well for me, and today I will share something from the Life deck. It's a combination of Iziar + Sola Ranjell + Venari Crystalsmith.

Hello there!Having completed my earlier travel posts on several interesting countries, such as Japan (Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido), Maldives, Indonesia (Bali and Yogyakarta), I was going through my past travels to see which would be the next interesting country or city to share, and I finally shortlisted New York, USA!
