The Fall of Single Feather...
Alright.
I'll be back home tomorrow, so they'll be time for regular postings and Left 4 Dead.
Hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures as well, and show you guys what I want.
=D
Today was pretty good.
Somehow I improved greatly in Strikers II 1945, and managed to clear quite some stages without dying once.
I also went on Go Kart today.
It was bad.
QQ lapped me twice, and I crashed too.
The driving shoes my sister persuaded me to get proved to be no help in stepping on the gas, my feet kept sliding off.
Truthfully, I should only blame on the length of my legs.
Then again, it seems like I went on so slow that even I couldn't believe it. From the drivers perspective, its totally different.
But still...
Dammit.
I also tried the All Terrain Vehicle. It was... epic man.
The start was a slope, which I only had to brake and move down. It wasn't all that exciting compared to Go Kart, but it was still cool.
Leon, Ka Shing and Chayadi's brother went to play something called the transformers that feels like the Pepsi ride thingy in Escape, only that its more scary...
Chayadi's brother face was distorted and red. Seconds later they stopped the ride.
Freaked me out man.
Lol.
Tomorrow.

Gawd.
I lost yesterday's card game bad man. REALLY BAD.
For some reason, I just couldn't collect the cards to create a pass that I need to finish my cards.
Damn.
I even broke Leon's high score by 3.
The SADNESS.
I was supposed to go for Go Kart a few days back, but suddenly, everyone didn't want to play it anymore, other than me and Leon.
The drivers had modified and private Karts, hence they could move at a faster speed. Anyway, that was what that freaked everyone out. Seeing everyone freaked, I started to too, but I wanted to play.
There was another track somewhere else that we couldn't go today which was safer, hence, yea. Next time, then.
Later was going to be fishing, but the rain is coming up. Might be cancelled, and we'll just play Halo 3 for the rest of the day.
Mmph.
Do you know that one of Medan's schools has students that win in the International Physics and chemistry Olympiad for many years?
I bet you don't.
The facilities there are way better than ours.
Damn.

The Fall of Single Feather...
Sixth
I sort of forgot to set the timing of my alarm clock one hour later than my intended time to wake up. (Indonesia's time is an hour slower than Singapore's)
Hence, I woke up at 7, which was actually 8.
I was going to post yesterday, but Leon didn't seem on giving up the macbook anytime soon. Besides, after winning yesterday's card game yet again, I was getting sleepy already.
So, for the past few days, I had events that were more of an experience instead of education.
Good balance for a whole tour.
Firstly, the wanton noodles here is kind of good. Different kind from Singapore's; better in fact, in my opinion.
Secondly, I played paintball. I got shot twice. One at my visor(eyes) and one at my ear. The latter one hurt for a while.
Chayadi's team, which composed of two kids didn't go that well though. Their fear of getting hit by bullets has rendered Chayadi, Ka Shing and one of the younger kids to be hit plenty of times.
Chayadi was hit six times. One of them was friendly fire from his brother.
Lol.
There was also the crocodile farm, where men threw ducks at crocodiles across a fence. It barely intrigues me, but the fact that the ducks look so calm when in the middle of a crowd of crocodiles simply amuses me.
On another note, Pizza Hut here is seriously cheap.
I didn't get much chance to visit malls and stuff fortunately, but it also means that I can't buy gifts. Though I did bought a pair of Ripcurl Slippers for myself.
=D

Third.
Day 3 in Indonesia.
But, I only spent about 48 hours here.
Managed to get internet connection over here somehow, and is now using Chayadi's brother macbook.
Yesterday's event was amusing and amazing, lol.
Spent time at the plantation, and I actually learnt a lot of stuff. Also some things about size and hectares, and actually knowing how small Singapore really is.
I've experienced so much things that were supposedly considered once a lifetime. Certainly some weren't as amazing as I thought, but it was good.
Besides, the Goreng Pisang served here is much better than the ones in Singapore.
It's an overall pretty cool experience so far, despite the injury one my knee from my biking lesson four days ago in the camp.
More activities are apparently lined up. Including Paintball.
*giggles*
Lol.

Haha.
I'm happy, but I'm tired.
I finally managed to cycle. Still a little wobbily at times, but I suppose I'll get better with practice.
It all turned up to an injury.
Justin told me. No matter what you do, just paddle. If he lets me go, I'll have to paddle faster.
And that was exactly what happened.
After some major paddling from three people supporting the bike, they let me go. Hence, I paddled faster. That was when I realised I wasn't falling.
However, it led to another unpleasent truth as well: I cannot make myself turn. Thus, I stepped on the brakes, and I slid off the bike. My knee grazed the road, ending up revealing a nice, pink portion of flesh.
When I looked back, I half expected to see my skin lying somewhere on the ground.
lol.
I'll be away for 10 days. Leon said that he'll bring his laptop, so I'll see if I could manage to get a post on the blog while I'm away.
Cheers.

Playtime.
A week ago, I was hanging out at Chayadi's place after my last O level paper.
We were doing the usual stuff, gaming, playing, eating, here and there. However, we did do one activity that was out of the norm.
We watched TV instead of playing Xbox360 - for a moment.
The show, "Whose line is it anyway?" turned up. It proved to be quite a laugh, even though there a few parts I didn't really understand.
It's kind of hard to explain how the show goes, so I'll have to show you one instead.
Here's one of the vids on the show, a hoedown. Drew is the guy at the second.
I thought it was magnificient, especially Drew's counter.
Lol.

Zomb- Infected
Left 4 Dead Demo.
I'm a person that don't play First Person Shooters. No much of a reason, I just can't aim properly. Thats why I rarely play shooters.
Hence, team shooters are games that I rarely play, for fear of friendly fire.
However, I have always dreamed of shooting hordes and hordes of undead. It always felt so darn cool.
I mean, grabbing a shotgun and actually getting to shoot people? It's the closet thing you can ever get to seeing a human head explode.
It's just so cool.
Then, Leon asked me to play Left 4 Dead. Since its zombie-look-a-like/infected, my eyes went,
Thus, I started playing L4D, and I managed to kill Leon a couple of times when he's my partner.
TAKE THAT, LEON!
...
That aside, let me get you some pictures in game, once I settled my screen hunter problem. For some reason, every time I try to take a picture, it reverts me back to the desktop, which is something I can't afford in a game.

Lol.

Over?
Heh heh heh.
It's not over - Daughtry
I was blown away.
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You've taken away everything,
And I can't deal with that.
I try to see the good in life,
But good things in life are hard to find.
We'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
Taken all I could take,
And I cannot wait.
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on.
Can't let it bring us down.
My life with you means everything,
So I won't give up that easily.
I'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood.
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Let's start over.

Let it out, let it out.
Don't get caught up in yourself.
Let it out.

'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.

It's not over, yeah...

But you're the only one.

Bugs.
早起的鸟儿有虫吃。早起的虫儿被鸟儿吃。
I have no idea where this line orginated from, but I first heard it from my mother. I woke up early for a jog with my parents, and after, we went to have breakfast. I asked if we should buy breakfast home.
Dad replied with this: 早起的鸟儿有虫吃。
Mom followed up: 早起的虫儿被鸟儿吃。
I found it very interesting.
It sounds sacrastic, but there seem to be something profound in those lines.
This was my perception of it.
When you're living the good moments of you life, relish and remember it, when you're facing bad moments in your life, waste it, and get it over with quickly.
I have no idea how I have seen this side from the statement, but... it just appeared in my head.
My sister has another perception of it. Hers is much simple than mine, and easier to relate to.
No matter what you do, do not be the prey, or the one to lose out, in this case, the bug.
Heh.

Clothing.
Lets see...
I have a new Superman Polo-T. A new dry fit Addidas Polo-T as well, and another brown Polo-T for going out.
I wanted to get the Batman Polo at first, but it was $79.90.
O_o
The price didn't help.
I have a couple of new shorts as well. I didn't get long pants since I didn't hold much of a favour for them. Only time I wore long pants was in Sports Chanbara related stuff, or formal occasions.
The brown Polo-T looks like two shirts sewn together, so it had two collars. This has conveniently reminded me of the Motivational Poster.
I'll post the picture once I find it. It's kind of late, and I should be sleeping...

I just woke up.
After my 'little' even this morning, I just felt tired.
I have no idea why, but after playing a little, I simply fell asleep on the bed, at about 7.
I just woke up.
Tomorrow is going to one hell of a day.
And its going to be worser than today.
Please pray for my safety, lungs, and throat tomorrow.
I'll hope that I'll be able to survive.

Over.
Done. Gone. Finished. Completed.
I'm sure I could give you more words if I check Thesaurus, but that's not the point.
O level is so called completed.
So called.
So now, we can all go to the next part of our lives. The MORE important parts of our lifes.
Gaming.
I've been playing Half Life 2 for a while now. I THINK I'm getting a little better at FPS in general. After all, I have more control over the where the crosshair is going now compared to the past.
I feel like I'm playing a Starship Troopers computer game when I met with the Antlions/Bugs thing. Imagine huge yellow cockroaches, and one REALLY huge one with a sharp head.
Starship troopers.
I have to turn in early today. Despite the fact that I have no school tomorrow, due to certain activites that I have, I am required to go somewhere tomorrow.
I'll have to wake at 6 in the morning.

Comics.
There was once when I dreamt of having "Comics" as a Compo title for the exams.
Simply imagine the things that I could have wrote, and even more so for Leon.
Anyway, I was surfing around, looking through profiles on Marvel Characters when I stumbled on a link.
Empire - 50 Greatest Comic Characters
I have no idea how old this article is. It should be pretty old, but, well, whatever.
The Range of Comic characters were kind of limitless. They ranged from Adventures of Tintin(Captain Haddock - #49) to The Avengers(Captain America - #21).
Sadly, there were quite a number of characters who I didn't know.
Characters like Death (Sandman), Cerebus (Cerebus) and many others.
I was kind of... appalled to find a few... OLD characters which I could recognize.
The Tick A.K.A. Cockroach Man(To me) in the 28th position.
There were a few expected characters who made the list.
The Joker in the 8th position (Batman), Wolverine in the 4th position(X-Men), and even Spidey in the 5th(Spider-man).
Personally, I had hoped that the Joker winds up somewhere near the 1st position, and Wolverine somewhere lower. He simply isn't as cool as Joker's psychoness.
Venom in the 33rd, should be higher as well. I mean, he is cool.
There was also Emma Frost, A.K.A. White Queen(X-Men) in the 30th position. Truthfully, I know nothing about her, other than the fact that she's hot.
Of course, there are a various others which I hope could have higher ratings, but well... too many stuff would be spoiling.
I have to say though, Number One isn't a surprise. I feel that Number Two fits the First position better.
*shrugs*
