Pure Evil These Flashers Be..

I must be nuts to actually post at this kind of hour on a MON..i mean TUESDAY morning with the prospect of school in the next 5 hours brighter than the twinkle in Christina's eyes whenever she's up to something devious....but here I am anyway :D

Haven't updated for a while since Daph's birthday, particularly because I didn't have much time. Oh sorry, it should've read: particularly because I wasted too much time...

Nowadays I often find myself wasting time over petty and nonsensical matters when what I should be doing is to plow through my textbooks and notes..it's really odd that I still could not kick into that study-consistently-everyday gear, especially since trials is just a mere 3 weeks away. I just can't seem to revert back to the times when coming back from school meant only one thing: study.

One moment I'm trying to beat my own highscore in Elite Beat Agents (that funky rhythm game for the DS) and the next I'm glued to my PC trying to beat other peoples' highscores in some Flash game...and speaking of that, my discovery of Kongregate.com, a community for Flash gamers is very untimely indeed. And referring to the title of this post, that's exactly what these Flashers (people who make Flash games, not the other one, thank you) are: pure evil..

I mean, I wasted like the whole Monday evening just playing this zombie shooter called The Last Stand. Before that it was Triangle, and after that was Bowmasters Prelude. Darn..

But grumblings aside, Kongregate is a very nice site to poke around. The Flash games are generally quite addictive and there's a sort of multiplayer element to the whole thing. Give it a visit when you're bored. Perhaps then maybe I won't be the only one to have wasted entire afternoons doing nothing but playing them darned Flash games...pictures coming soon, don't worry (^-^)

Happy Birthday to the President

Ah, another year already. And our former TRU president is another year older. Doesn't seem any wiser though (runs for cover) :D

So yeah, there were the usual celebration and surprise party (and how the surprisee normally turns out to be not so surprised in the end) and all that but there were several interesting to note, namely:

1. I beat Daphne in the MUET test, ha :D Yup, worth a mention alright, even though she claimed that she 'didn't know what was going on', haha.

2. An unexpected guest turned up, and was pretty much the center of attention for a good part of the night. Who's that, you say? A scrawny little black rat that had been gnawing on the wooden frame of the store room's door for the past few days. Uncle Sim's rat cage worked like a charm and had the rat trapped after only what seemed like an hour (maybe the twisties used as bait were to blame). The dilemma though, was whether to kill the rat or not. If kill, then how? Don't kill, then how? The last thing Kat wanted was to have the rat crawl up to her room..."Will it go into my room? Huh? Will it? Is it going to come out of the store room? What if it goes into my room?"
Pretty entertaining to watch the tension build, if you ask me :D

Gosh, it's 12. I'm doomed. To the bed then...and oh, long live the love clinic, Daph (^.^)

Busy Week

Yet another week had passed by, and productivity was reduced due to the fact that Justin, Simon and Gabe (and later John) invaded my house armed with a PS2 and a copy of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, a deadly combination, if you ask me :D

True true, used up a good part of the Sunday afternoon but hey, it was really fun to bash (and get bashed) by them in the game..especially by Juju of course, since our rivalry dates back to the nineties when mario was more pixels than moustache.

Ah, busy busy. I don't like the very sound of it, but it's been all over my mind cause the pile of work that I had been diligently storing is now overflowing (and I don't think I swim very well in stress deluges). Not good.

At the end of the day though, I always remind myself that no matter how busy my schedule might seem (seem only, I hardly ever find myself really busy cause I'm just so so good at procrastinating) or how difficult the situations that I might find myself to be in, I've learned well enough to know this: every single one of us has enough troubles of our own.

I'll always keep it in mind because I learned a great deal about it in NS. Heck, I should write a short story about my experiences in this regard, haha. But honestly, I think it applies to everyone that there's always someone out there who's having it far worse than you. It doesn't take long for me to know the countless (tak boleh kira man) blessings that I've received from God and the people that he had put in my life. Sure enough, "When God is big, your problems are small". Only thing is, often times I see God through a stained glass: He's blur, He's fuzzy, and I can't tell if He's really there at all sometimes. But God's great, because he's patient. If you ask me, I would have summoned a rain of fire and sulphur or two on myself for being the absent-minded, lazy and sinful person that I am.

Oh no, wasted another good 10 minutes updating my blog..but thanks anyway for those who actually read my blog (especially this faithful reader called x-tina who believed I would actually update any time soon). To the battlestation!
