Diablo II

It's almost 4 in the morning and I'm still up, which could mean only one thing. Shit, I'm back on D2, the crazy never ending game that sent many people over the edge and flushed their grades down the toilet bowl. Despite a 4 year hiatus, it feels like I've never been gone. Sure, the servers are a little more dead now, but everything that makes it quintessentially D2 is still present. Fruitful night. Levelled up a bit and made a new friend, LazyFatAss.

One thing I love about the game is the feel of control I get when playing. From the third person view, it's as if you have possessed your character, controlling every movement. And yet, having to take care of it, although detached from you, as each hit it receives brings a jolt to the senses. Teleporting, throwing blizzard spells is a little like writing poetry, albeit with a clumsy hand, with my haphazardly put together gear

Think I better not do this again. Thing about playing so deep into the night; instead of feeling sleepy, I'm wide awake now. Game sure is better than smoke or drink but nonetheless equally addictive.

SHUTUP ALL YOU HELLGATE LOVERS WHO THINK THAT THE CREATORS OF D2 MADE HELLGATE. HELLGATE NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE.

The last of S04 together

Yesterday, my JC class, 06S04 had a gathering organized by our beloved (and often teased) class representative, Jason. He put in alot of effort to ensure the class had this chance to meet up and have a great time. First time I played mahjong under the tutelage of Kevin, Nicole and Pamela (who apparantly isn't very orthodox). Can't imagine how people can spend hours and days even playing this game which was to me, rather boring and repetitive.

It's probably the last time, with many of us from/going to different countries, that we can gather as a class together. Though I was pretty determined not to enjoy my 2 years in SAJC, being in this class, with our zany civics tutor, Mr Fong, has changed that.

Stayed over at Kevin's place after that (Thanks Kev!) with Mil as well. Pro Evolution Soccer, movie, Simpsons later we talked abit. Woke up the latest I have for pretty long, still feel a little woozy, but it was great.

As are over!

Someone told me the As would just fly by really fast. Man, that person was obviously lying. Halfway through and it felt agonizingly long. Am I glad it's over and finally I can do (hopefully) all those things I told myself I had to do after the As.

This would be a time to give thanks, to all those who gave your prayers and best wishes, THANKS A BUNCH, you guys really made the As a little more bearable. To all those who shared notes that you got from dunno where; Millardi, Pear, Jingwen, Kenneth, Jason, Pamela, Kevin, Samuel, Valerie and the rest I forgot :P POWER TO YOU GUYS. And a shoutout to Samuel, who was my uber maths cum GP teacher.

The time has finally come to enjoy my break before NS. Bleah.

Night Out

Had my penultimate A level paper yesterday. I know I'm not supposed to have a life and have fun yet because my exams aren't over (damn you all who agree with this!). Was Vincent's last and he wanted to have some fun so we let Brian take us out for the night. Met with Kiat at potong pasir and embarked on the never-ending journey aboard bus 14 (EAST PLACES ALL SO FAR, HOW YOU EAST-IES TAKE IT HUH). Fast forward 2 months for the journey, we ended up at Siglap.

Had a great time there with the guys and Brian was pretty determined to make Vincent drunk, to no avail though. Halfway through my first bottle I was O.O already (yeah weak, whatever). Didn't exactly know how to get home from there and Brian offered to put me up for the night. Talked rubbish until 2.30am because he had to get up for work the next day. Seriously, can always trust Brian to know where's the nice places to eat and hang out.

One for posterity guys! From left: Kiat, Brian, Me, Vincent
