Well, yeah it turns out that I'm in front of a computer once more, surfing the internet again, and although I said that my last post would probably be the last one of the year, I figured, what the heck? So yeah, one more last post before the New Year. It's the 31st today, and this whole New Year's thing has left me excited, and horrified. The excitement, then. I just found out that I'll be going to "Balau" class next year.
I'll share the class with ( as I know so far ) Boon Kuan, Claudia and Jun Yee ( we've always been in the same class since Year 5 - kinda odd ). Yeah, that's pretty good, considering "Balau" was the class I wanted all along ( not too nerdy, not too stupid - haha ) and with the friends I have there, it could've been a whole lot worse. So yeah, I guess I'm kinda relieved. Well, at least one thing'll go right.
Now, the horror. Form 2. Form 2. Oh dear sweet mercy. Oh, man. I mean like seriously! O.K. I mean, the textbooks, they're ridiculously heavy. And like, what the hell's up with those green notebooks? and uhmmm... deranged teachers! And uh I don't wanna go back to school!! No!!! Eh. Sigh. Oh well. I mean, this still could've gone a whole lot worse. I could be in Tropicana School right now ( and would be, if I didn't make an appeal ) and not really know anyone at all.
At least I know that if I'll be suffering, a minimum of three people that I know well will be suffering right alongside me. Yay. Anyways, on New Year's Eve, today, I'm gonna be - wait for it - going to a cybercafe. Yeah okay, but at least Shaun and Brandon'll be there, and I'll see it through that Brandon gets his ass overtly handed to him in Company of Heroes.
So I guess this really will be the last post of the year. For DJ students, I gues I'll see you next year for an entirely new chapter of pain. Oh yeah, and have a Happy New Year.

And a Happy New Year
It is the 30th as I write this, and indeed the New Year is upon us. In fact, I like to think of today as New Year's Eve Eve. Yeah. So Happy New Year's Eve Eve, everyone. So yeah, was 2008 everything you thought it'd be? For me, I guess it kinda was, considering the fact that I didn't think it was going to be very good at all, with the Form 1 and the DJ thing. I'm also glad to announce that my expectations for 2009 are just as low.
At least then they'll have a higher chance of being met. Although now, I won't have to put up with a lousy pencil box anymore, I got a Wild Channel pencil box ( and a Body Glove schoolbag - woot! ) for Christmas. Yeah so, you'd think I'd have a lot to say on the Eve of the Eve of the New Year, but my usually filled-to-bursting-with-stupid-ideas mind is strangely empty on this day.
Hmmm... So let's look at what I did yesterday. I went to The Curve, oblivious that it was a public holiday ( did you know? ) and had to face the nightmare of parking on a public holiday right between Christmas and New Year's. Suffice to say, it wasn't easy. Oh yeah, and at 1.00 am, I finally got to watch the World War II movie Saving Private Ryan. I'd waited a long time for it ( like , six months ) and it was worth every blood splatter.
Well, yeah, that's all I really have to say for now. As far as I know, we're not doing anything spectacular on the big day, and this could very well be the last post for the year. Wow, Andrew actually made a blog, and it's lasting through the New Year? Yeah I'm surprised too.

Merry Belated Christmas
This is my third post in a row with the words "Merry" and "Christmas" in the title. I'm just really into the Christmas spirit. And I'm too lazy to think of a better title. It's actually Boxing Day ( a sadly forgotten holiday by most of society ) today as I write ( or vomit ) this, but I'm pretty sure the date on top will show that it's the 25th. I never bothered setting the right timezone, but it does feel good to know that it's still Christmas somewhere. Merry Christmas, Somewhere.
Anyways, yesterday night my family and I went out for dinner. We wanted to go to 1 Utama to eat at Nando's as I said earlier, but about half of Malaysia decided to park there, so we went to the considerably less packed Giant store thingy at Kota Damansara ( Malaysia has the weirdest names for everything. ) We had Mexican food, which was pretty good, since I emptied about half a bottle of Tobasco sauce ( best sauce in the world, after Nando's ) onto my quesadillas ( hot! ).
All in all, a pretty good, though slightly-more-ordinary-than-I-expected Christmas. All we did was pretty much open the presents ( although that was quite good in itself - Spore! ) have a normal ( albeit slightly burnt ) lunch at home, go to Giant ( not exactly the must-go shopping mall this holiday season ) and then wish everyone a ridiculously Merry Christmas over MSN ( writing out "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" as large as you possibly can using the writing tool on MSN never gets old).
Yeah, but I guess almost anything we could have done would be slightly more ordinary than I expected, because I did expect quite a bit. Anyways, hope you had as much of a Merry Christmas as I did ( or more ), and, uh, Happy Boxing Day?

Merry Christmas, For Real
Yeah, the last post entitled "Merry Christmas" wasn't really done on Christmas Day, but that was because I never thought I would be able to blog on the day itself. Well, here I am. And let me just say to all humanity, and to some other stuff as well, Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahahahahah, Ahahahahaha!!! Uhmm... Yeah, now that I've gotten that out of my system, lets move on.
Firstly, we have the presents. Mmm, presents. I got ( from my two sisters ) a copy of Spore, a computer game, a book, t-shirts, a Wild Channel pencilbox, and a whole lot of chocolate, among other things. Also, on this most amazingly jolly of days, for the first time, I've been able to access the supermagical interwebs ( man, I love that word ), A.K.A., the Internet from my new house, which all this while has been devoid fo such wonders. Ah, yes.
Sadly though, this shall be but a temporary joy, because the wireless modem belongs to my sister's friend. Santa, I want the interwebs!!! Anyways, later we shall proceed merrily to 1 Utama for a nice family dinner ( unlike our lunch, which was quite burnt ) at Nando's, my favourite little restaurant in the world. Behind Chili's, ( is that how it's spelt? ) anyway.
This is all shaping up nicely. And, if everything goes absolutely, positively according to plan, I'll have one last get-together with Brandon, and hopefully others before being utterly consumed by the many-tendriled, homework-producing monster of Form 2. Oh no, Form 2! Oh man, the horror, the humanity! The holidays, over, so quickly!? But how? Where did it all go? Why am I asking so many questions?
Well, I guess I'll have to deal with it for now, probably with some sort of high-powered superweapon. By the way, we also made a really cute looking gingerbread house ( how cool is that? ). I'd upload pics, but I've sworn to make this blog as bland and boring as possible. Oh well. As for the day itself though, I haven't done much, besides the opening of presents, it's been a pretty ordinary day. But the spirit is there, which is what really matters, and I'm super-hyped to play Spore.
Anyways, I guess that's all I've to say right now, if you're reading this, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
P.S. Merry Christmas to Alycia. There, no more stangulations. ( wipes sweat off forehead ).
P.P.S. Merry Christmas to The World.
P.P.P.S. I know that's the third ( or was it fourth? ) time I've said that.
P.P.P.P.S. And a Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all, wa hahahahahahaha. I mean like, woo hee hee hoo haha. Um, alright, but seriously, Merry Christmas, and Christmas is indeed upon us, ( THREE DAYS! ) which is alright, but I can't help but think of the fact that school will be starting again ( I'm still in denial ) right after Christmas, so I'm going kinda nuts. It's like International Happiness day followed by your dog's funeral. And the funeral of all his puppy children.
Who all died mysteriously at a firing range. Which I was not at, and I did not paint bulls-eyes on them. Yes. Alright. But really, this whole thingamajiggy is giving me mixed emotions. GY Camp '08 was great ( gotta go for '09 - and I invite all humanity to go with me - although this message will probably reach around two or three people ) and I'm trying to enjoy the merriest day of the year, but all this school stuff is making it an ever-so-slightly bitter affair.
I mean, why? Why I tells ya? Well, I guess complaining won't change anything ( unless I complain enough to cause mind-control side-effects ) so I'll keep off that subject for now. On a lighter note, I made a bet with a friend, the details of which I am not at liberty to disclose. Just know that's between me and Shaun, that it's for one Ringgit ( although the real purpose is to make a point ) and know that once Shaun loses, I'd have made a very good point.
P.S. Brandon, I still haven't forgotten about our 5,000 Ringgit asteroid deal. 2014 is the year I buy a new computer.

GY Camp '08
GY Camp '08 ( Grace Youth ) has just ended yesterday. I went. Wa ha. It lasted four days, and the camp itself was in Peace Haven, so close to Genting Highlands that you could practically smell it. Oh yeah. To describe the camp in a word: cold. In two words: very cold. And in several words: very cold because I did not have a jacket and now it feels face-meltingly hot now that I got back.
It would be ridiculous to describe all the events that took place, but the basic thing is you're split into groups, each group has a cute little nametag, and you work together in games ( such as the Hydrowar, which took place in the freezing cold, not somewhere you want to be when you're soaking wet ).
Met a lot of new friends, ( who, almost like clockwork, commented on my "accent" ) saw some old ones ( Benjamin, Timothy, Jared ) and had some cup noodles ( wee! ). But one of the highlighhts of the camp was going outside on the last night at 12.30am. It was amazing. And amazingly cold. I was constantly bombarded by ice-cold ( methinks 16-21 degrees ) winds, but that didn't stop me from spending a good 45 minutes there.
In a post I made quite a while back ( Look at the Stars ) I said that global warming was gonna mess everything up beyond recognition. But Genting Highlands is one of the last places in Malaysia where you can actually look up and see the stars. Hundreds of 'em. We also saw the lights of KL, and, incredibly, we saw race cars drifting around the corners down below. Oh yes.

Company of Heroes
Recently, with my comp being fixed and all, with the supermagical interwebs ( AKA the internet ) being fixed, I now find myself elated. Being without a proper working computer for five whole months has made me appreciate this a whole lot more. That, and the knowledge that The Orange Box will soon be up-and-running on my computer, playing completely problem-free and quite possibly becoming the greatest frag-fest of my life. I await keenly.
I also have just recently purchased Company of Heroes. It's a World War II real-time strategy game that- wait, come back! There's one important difference between Company of Heroes and the tonnes of other repetitive RTS games you may have played recently. It's bloody freaking awesome. Especially with freinds. Oh yes. The satisfaction of wiping out eighteen enemy soldiers ( Shaun's ) with a single hand grenade is almost unparralleled in the RTS world.
Well, maybe running over enemy troops with an incredible Jagdpanther German tank destroyer would beat it. Or perhaps a direct hit by a remote controlled bomb that wipes out an entire enemy army. Oh yeah. On top of that, the fun is multiplied when playing against freinds, because you know your every moment of glee is accompanied by despair in others. Man, I'm getting nervous just thinking about it. My inner gamer calls. Till next time.

Some Explaining to Do
If you're reading this, than I think it's worth to note that this is the first post I have made in more than a couple of days. If you read this blog at all, you're either a) very lonely b) very bored or c) very prone to always typing in the wrong URL. Most of you have forgotten about this anomaly, but surprisingly, I stopped posting not because I was lazy, but due to two other things.
One would be me sending the computer to a computer fixing-ish place to get it to stop bluscreening whenever I freaking tried to run a game. Thankfully, that got fixed but right when I got the computer back the internet died. After a further uhhh... more days than I care to remember, it finally got fixed today, the problem being caused by inserting the wrong password. Sigh.
So, one might ask, what have I done these few holiday weeks, being free and all. Did I say, save the world, single-handedly create the solution to global warming or find a cure for cancer? Or even eat some ice-cream? No. Not as I recall anyway. Strangely, the lack of computer access has left my memory of this period sort of a blur.
Things I do remember, however include a delicious chocolate mousse dessert at Marche ( oh yes, oh yes please. ) along with a ridiculous amount of time spent in cybercafes ( I'm in one right now ). What I can't believe, however, is that the holidays are now already more than halfway over. Sighx10. Yeah well, Merry Christmas Happy New Year and uh, Happy Hanukkah?
