Just came back from my cousin's 21st birthday chalet! The first thing I realised after returning was that most of the people invited are his family members, and my younger cousin's friends. Quite
ironico.
Basically I was very tired upon arrival because I had a soccer game prior to this. Still I managed to play a few Bridge games, and survival Texas Hold 'Em. Lost $2 because I was the first one to get knocked out. Oh wells.
Didn't play as much mahjong as expected, but enjoyed myself thoroughly while watching them play. The company was a lot of fun (going to add them on Facebook later), talking cock while playing.
The rest of the chalet was spent on bowling, eating, and also watching Detroit Metal City. It was one hell of a funny movie, albeit a little vulgar (thus the NC16 rating attached to it). Still,
juveniles still were able to sneak peek into this manga/anime-turned funny Japanese classic. Satsugai!
Notable quotes of the day:
"F**k!"
"Jesus Christ"
"No music, no dream"
"Baby bird!"

It's an OAC Christmas!
I'm not a Christian, but I still revel myself in this joyous occasion because I'm celebrating the festive season (early) with my friends. We had much fun in the beginning playing Xbox games, then it was party games! We started with Pass the Parcel, and at one of the rounds I had to sing The National Dream, which I half-heartedly remembered (so much for staying in the school for 2 years). There were also gifts hidden in some of the rounds.
After that we went for tug-of-war at the pool, and before the game started, I already got dunked into the pool, and subsequently pushed down twice. Such is the life of a person who doesn't mind being wet. In the end, my team lost and the guys in front all got tugged into the pool. On the other hand, we have Sean foolishly dunking himself into the pool while sitting on a chair. Reminded me of Angels and Demons and some Japanese game shows...
We went to dry up and prepared for Shuwei's early birthday celebration, and started to exchange our gifts. VERY LUCKILY AND FATEFULLY, Shuwei and I got the same gift, a box of spicy chocolates. How apt.
I got a new injury from yesterday (WOW say Hi to Injury Boy!), busted my heel somehow. Not sure if I hit a nerve or I strained the muscles there, but it justs hurt even by resting my heel on the floor, let alone walk. Got to go see the legendary physician at Lavender again...

I had a weird dream...
I was journeying with SW and another random guy to find the legendary tadpole-shaped lake. We didn't know where was it, so we kept walking and asking for directions. While walking, we asked this old man and he pointed us to walk straight towards a beacon. So we followed, and before leaving, I saw this plaque with "Hong Kong Primary School" written on it, affixed with a large picture of the school staff. To my surprise, I saw Mr Ernest Chia!
Before we got to the beacon, it rained very heavily, but we still picked up our pace and continued...
and I woke up.

Just got myself a copy of the game for $54 and I'm quite sure this money is (my parents') money well spent. I never really played L4D before (only once), and I got to say that the game is about shooting zombies down. After watching the video review for the sequel, I really got hooked to the game with its new array of weapons and Infected.
After playing and completing the first chapter on Easy mode, I really felt like playing more, but the game is all about shooting zombies, so some form of gore and horror will be present. Being quite a coward (like Courage the dog), I think I shouldn't play this game with low lighting and past 12am.
Anyway the AI of the game is very intuitive I realised, because if life gets too smooth, the Infected will stop at nothing to stop my path. So, I had 3 tanks coming at me, 1 after another, and they incapacitated my team slowly and wiped us out. So you're just meant to die, even if you're playing on Easy mode.
Hopefully I can have a PS3 as soon as possible, to be ready for the launch of FFXIII.
Game Over.

Finally, after so long, I have a new computer!
It has an Intel i5 processor, 4GB RAM and a 1TB HDD. My brother built it from scratch and I gotta thank him for that because I can't assemble computer for nuts, despite my unrivalled building-blocks construction skills when I was in primary school (did I ever tell you that I used building blocks, Lego landscape mats and Hot Wheels towers to make a rollercoaster for my marbles?).
Well, it's fun having a new gadget at home, especially when it's very user-friendly and fast to use. Windows 7 is really living up to its expectations and I can see why critics are giving it the thumbs up. It has really many cool features, including one that allows you to make your windows transparent so you can see your desktop. My personal favourite is the Personalise function where you can customise the look and sounds of your PC. There are also prebuilt themes available, but I prefer certain colours like red, and certain sounds that are in the Windows library.
Next thing I'm hoping to get my hands on is a 250GB PS3 Slim.
*coughs**Christmas is coming**coughs*
I really wish it could be this model:
If not, I don't mind putting a skin on the original PS3 Slim. But I really like red, and white.
Also, without games, the PS3 is just a Blu-ray player that can do nothing but spin on the spot. Yes, so *cough**cough**cough*, I need games! FIFA 10! Band Hero! GTA4! Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2!
Oh well, I just need money. *cough**cough**cough*

I'm back from Star Cruises! I took Virgo, and apparently I was on the ship with 2400 other people, so that's how big the cruise ship is.
Half of my class spent technically 3 days 3 nights on board, towards Port Klang. The cruise was not very entertaining for our age group even though it is filled with various facilities. There are many different restaurants, some are free for the first breakfast/lunch/dinner you have for the day, but the food is so-so. There is a private KTV lounge, and luckily the song vault is rather recent, so we could still sing to our heart's content. There is a casino beside it, but the lowest chip is of $10 value, which proved too expensive for us. There are also sports facilities and a small pool with 4 hot tubs around it.
Most of the fun was shopping at Klang and talking cock/playing games with friends... I expected more from Virgo.
Oh well, maybe Royal Carribean will be better?

OMG I'm damn tired after coming back from Fann's house, which is damn tall.
Just a lot of fun as usual la. Yeah super fun. Super tiring also.
Byebye!
