Weird dream today. Dreamt that I was in Malaysia with my bro, and we were in a cab. He said he needed to get something so he got off. I waited in it, but after a long time, he still wasn't back, so I took the driver's seat and drove my way to Singapore. Along the way, I entered a shopping mall. Seeing so many people around and without my passport, I took a risk and moved the cab onto a trolley and covered it with a giant cloth, and moving through the mall trolley-style. The Malaysians looked at me with disgust, but I ignored them.

Later, I pushed the trolley out to the carpark. So I carried the cab down and drove onwards. Halfway the carpark attendants came to check vehicles, and I panicked as I didn't have a driving license with me, but all they asked was my car model, and subsequently let me pass. "Wah, BV6 ar?" "Huh? Er, ya."

I reached the Singapore checkpoint in the end. Then I saw Amy playing along the foot of the cliff. I laughed at that since I remember in my previous dream involving getting to Singapore, it was Wanting that I saw instead. XD
Without a passport, I could not continue. Magically, Grandma and my bro appeared to asked what took me so long. I told them to heck care and get me my passport. :/


Tennis with zeling, darren, renon, charissa, weijie, junjian and uh, Ben I think was awkward haha since I didn't know how to. heh. Sure zeling thought me some stuffs which worked (Thx! Now to see if I forget...(: ), I felt more like a dog chasing after tennis that flew too far. :D Not that I mind. Could use the physical workout anytime. Facing the computer all the time isn't that good anyway. And I need work on intercepting tennis balls. :/

Lan-ing L4D2 with the few of them though was awesome haha! Zeling not that bad what, just that need more training heh. But I would have preferring a better sound system than soft speakers... and I just learnt LAN burns holes in pocket. ):

So I got into Logistics Management in Ngee Ann. Hmm. Not sure if should appeal to something more engineering-based, since
A)I don't care for money, B)Not sure of this course's er, stuff and C)So that I may have to learn less stuffs like plumbing the old way.
But, on the other hand,
A)I'm abit lazy to do this appealing thing since it involves going to the school itslef, B)I could use the money, if any.

So, now the thing is, when does the appeal end? The to-appeal-or-not-to-appeal thing I'm gonna have to mull over it while sleeping, and/or get lucky to meditate over it.
Feel free to give advices though if you guys wish to. And oh, JC peeps, have fun and good luck! Or, goodnight and goodluck. Bah, you guys won't get the reference unless you googled it. :/

In other news, I didn't go facebook today since I was trying to get some stuffs for a simple L4D2 server to work, still no idea on how to host 8 player campaigns though.
Hopefully the next patch and that future coming new campaign won't screw it.
Annd my father wants me to start work somewhere starting February, so I guess that means I do I have something to do while waiting for my school to start. Not that I'm that bored, but they expressed interest in having the money used for school fees, so, whatever.

So I decided to play Left 4 Dead 2 on Garena once again. I wonder why so few people play Swamp Fever and Hard Rain, or user created maps for that matter. And darn you steam playing ppl. :( So anyway, I was playing The Parish with 3 strangers, 1 going by the name of QiQix3 and other chris or something, and we finally reached the last chapter where you have to rush across the bridge to enter the escape helicopter. The first time, Qi got charged into the river below by a Charger, so I ended up having to revive the rest while the tank is coming towards us. :/ After which the horde killed us. Second time, we got to about 3/4 of the bridge, and we reached another with supplies, loaded with some weapons, lots of pills and adrenaline shots. 1 died since he was low on health, and the 2 others died after getting surrounding by the horde for too long, leaving me alone on the truck. I started to panic a little, then thought up some half-assed plan, I grabbed some pills, ate it, then grabbed a adrenaline shot and a random weapon (An auto/tactical shotgun, I hate that, prefer the SPAS 12...), then made a run for it, meleed the zombies at the truck away, then dashed for the helicopter. After pill's effect were away, I took the adrenaline, and meleed/shot the zombies in my way. Finally, when the rescue music sounded, and with little zombies in sight, I thought I was safe, until the dead players started typing "OMG TANK" and got me moving again. I threw a molotov after seeing the tank, then managed to make it to the helicopter with only... about 6HP left, I think. Ah, most memorable run so far. :D


Once again, my garena ign is lousydude, ok!

Sorry for the lengthy rant about my L4D2 advertures!

I wanted to write about what I dreamed, but I can't remember it already. Something to do with food, outdoors, and... I don't know. I think there were lasers going pew pew pew too...



Oh ya, I would start showing some "SUPER EFFECTIVE" comic pictures on the next post. If you guys have personally went to the web and read the webcomic, feel free to tell me not to put them up, k? :)

New year post of sorts :)

Ah, about 1 month has passed. Time to come back!

Nothing much bez going on this past month, since I didn't bother getting a job (much to my brother's disgust), I am simply spending my time slacking and lazing about outside, at home...

Though it's hard recollecting what exactly you did for the past month, haha!

So far, I remember watching Avatar, going to zl's place, Charissa playing Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2, raising several caterpillars till now, BBQs, playing Left 4 Dead 2 (Does no one play that? It sucks at time to play with strangers in Garena... add lousydude if you'd like:) ), playing Bioshock till the last level at the moment (Fun running for your life in a utopia/distopia!), being in KL and having dad's friends tour us around, watched Gran Torino (So nice and heartwarming in a way, why don't want to pick sia), The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, and District 9 (Nicely done, though could possibly go deeper into its themes of xenophobia and humanity), skyping with new people I've sorta met, and now getting my guts together to try out a real time strategy game. :/

I don't think my O level results are that good, but I expected at least 18, and I got 18, so I suppose it's not to shabby. :) And with 15 Jan looming, it seems that reality and responsibility has come knocking once again. haiz. At least the atmosphere in the hall is nice. I love sucking a good atmosphere. Or at least what positive energies it has. And seeing zl up there with the list of 7 pointers shows that there is no point in worrying in the first place haha!
