Post-promos.
So that was the end of the 4 day affair with the symbolic gesture of proving your academic worth and the proof of your intelligence because papers are all it takes to prove your worth.
I hope I justify myself well enough to promote >.<
And maths really redefines helplessness, like...
how I'd be content to get double-digit for it. It's a paper upon 100, and I'd be thanking my toes for 10 although that didn't really make sense.
Seriously, throughout the 3hour paper I was stoning and praying for it to end earlier because it'd be the same anyway, I'm stoning my hours away while others are writing and calculating like mad.
In the end, I resorted to playing with my TI and I was like...trying to do guess-and-check because I had too much time due to unanswerable questions, ie the whole paper.
It was crazy. I have no mathematical ability.
Life.
Oh and post-promos celebrations. Well I can't say that I'm relieved, perhaps I would be after getting to know whether I'm promoted or not but we'd just hope. Anyway, on Friday, I had lunch at some Chinese restaurant in Tenpenis mall, and I somehow forgot the name of the restaurant-branch-thingy, but anyway that is not the point.
The point is--angmohs were eating too. And they were using chopsticks.
In the correct way.
I remember taking great pains to educate my cousins about the Way of the Chopsticks, but I failed. But angmohs are so accustomed to chopsticks it's surprising to note that even the Chinese can't use their own eating utensils properly.
'Chopsticks? Really? I'd fork my food.'
Bleh.
Then I took the MRT to AMK. Thanks to my wonderful rectal muscles, I managed to hold it in till I reached a safehouse where I unleashed all my toxins in one shot. In fact, I was done so quickly that I didn't know that I was done. I ended up stoning there for another 3minutes or so, checking whether I'm seriously done or not(I hate return trips to the toilet, it's just retarded why some people can't finish their business in one sitting if not for diarrhoea). But as things turned out, yes, I was done in the first wave. When I stood up to wipe my ass crack I saw a blob of brown. A huge blob of brown that I thought impossible to appear in just 3 seconds of gearing up for business.
So I left for pool, which kinda sucked because I didn't know the way at all and had to disturb Darren from his game.
Pool is fun. Left-handers own. End of story.
..no. They were playing some songs in the pool place and I was marvelling at globalization once more. The fact that I'm using English is proof of globalization. The existence of my blog is testament to its power.
I haven't really mentioned how the songs were influenced by globalization. It was like they were playing English songs, then they suddenly moved on to 'Nobody', and some other random Korean/Jap song before getting back to Chinese songs, which distracted me because I can relate, I understand the lyrics(I somehow can't catch English songs because of their accent), and because I know them.
So I'd space out when waiting for my turn. It dampens my mood :c and it's distracting as in seriously but oh well that's something I got used to.
Pool was fun.
Then we went for dinner, then we stoned deciding the next move in Life for that evening.
We wanted to go Kbox but it was kinda a scam. 25bucks each for 8 people in one single room for 2 hours just doesn't work out. It means around $12.50 per song for one single person, and it was a scam. Really. When we realized this we weren't going to sit around and just get scammed, no, we don't take bullshit from people, so we went to the cashier-register-whatever-it's-called to ask if there's another way of charging and I don't mean that in the electrical appliance sense, and she could only offer to charge us for the price of 6 people.
Says a lot about the magnitude of Scam here, if the cashier people could simply waive $50 off just like that.
But it still didn't work out, overall it'd be like a milder version of Scam. The -$50 in terms of scamming magnitude kind of scam.
So we went to play L4D instead. 8 people, versus mode, chaotic. Not everyone knew how to play either, and I never played versus mode before.
Oh and in case you don't know what's Left4Dead, here is a trailer, which is quite funny considering the language it is in:

Then we played 4 player campaign mode so we kinda split up into 2 games. No, not kinda, we did split up. And we always had like a representative to clear a stage and eventually the campaign. Like, when 3 of us were incapacitated I told Darren to get into the safehouse so when the 3 of us dies he'd clear the stage anyway and we'd be revived.
Such is the huge difference between real life and game. In games, you have 'Game over', and 'Respawn'. In life, you have 'Game over', and 'Eternal damnation'. So yea, we made use of the Game attributes, and just won the game without much care about 'ethics'. In the last stage, only Darren made it to the helicopter alive, leaving the 3 of us to die by smokers and incapacitated...
but that's what I told him to do in order to get the game over and done with.
Awright. That's about it. Nothing sexciting these days =\
