A penny for MY thoughts?

Holidays. Who doesn't like em'? The whole past week had been a really refreshing break from school and was well-spent doing anything and everything except STUDY :D Quite a good holiday it has been for me. I did feel like I wasted a week of holiday, considering I have an entire legion of organic chemistry and biology's biodiversity topics thirsting for my skin and blood...but I felt it was worth it because I doubt I'd be free anymore after the holidays, what with the STPM panic and school co-curriculum work tying me up in the coming months. AND, I wasn't planning on updating initially, but since our resident dead-blog examiner Mr.Low had been persistently trying to pronounce my blog dead, I was left with no choice but to come up with something :D

What did I do again last week....hurm...I visited my uncle's apartment somewhere in PJ. It was a family event of sorts..had a steamboat at his place. Nice apartment actually, but I have no pictures to show though. Only thing worth mentioning is that for an apartment housing two persons, the fridge at my uncle's place was twice as huge as the one serving my five-person household..maybe he's planning ahead for expansion :)

More interestingly, I was supposed to watch the long-awaited Pirates 3 but Justin felt that the stars pointed towards a not-so-popular movie instead, Blades of Glory. I didn't know what to expect because I had no idea who the two actors were, and had not seen any of Will Ferrel's other supposedly horrendous titles. I didn't even know it was actually a comedy (I thought drama or what) so I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be so entertaining. Over-hype of shows like Spiderman and Shrek just ruins the whole cinema experience, I feel. But that aside, I was humored for a good hour and a half and the cleverly placed jokes were just spot-on. There were some jokes that are harder to catch, however, and half the time I ended up laughing alone (it's scary to laugh alone, really),but if you are like me or Su Leen, then you would find the movie brilliant and appreciate those nuggets of wisdom like 'the first person who walked on the moon' :D


Then there were the retro gaming sessions with Justin and my sis..Justin managed to dig up this really obscure board-game that fuses monopoly with shopping malls, and it's aptly called TOP SHOP. It's a great party game and has more than enough depth to hook casual and serious players alike for at least two hours or more (the game can last up to four hours, or even more if you are seriously kiasu). And oh, did I say it's a Playstation game? :D

Don't let the kiddie in-game graphics fool you, if we played this during a sleepover, chances are there won't be any sleep at all xD I played this on my pc, thanks to an emulator and Justin's PS controller converter that plugs into my USB port. I've also been playing :

And oh, one more (^_^)

And all this time I was wondering where my holidays went to...silly me :P
