PENGUINS!

That's right. Penguins.

Wei Zhi discovered my game files yesterday. It started out innocent enough, she started with minesweeper. It fit her personality enough. Then we decided to explore.

Mahjong was next. Pretty fun, rather addicting. We'll play a few rounds, then we'll do our work. Yeah, that's what we'll do.

But.. looking for one more game wouldn't hurt.... or so we thought.

the next one was PENGUINS.

Ah yes. It looked innocent enough. Lead these adoreable penguins to safety by strategically placing devices around so they head in the right direction. 25 of them, all in all. And they all have NAMES! Scrolling over each penguin would reveal their name, and it was soooo utterly adoreable to find names like Elise, Monty, Napoleon, Feisty, Pepper, and Penguinette. Adoreable, really.

Then the danger started. One level led to the next! We couldn't let those penguins fall to their deaths (though the game assures you that they're not dead, but are "sitting in a cosy little cage at the bottom of the screen.") or get caught by the zoo keeper! So we kept going, Nyat, Wei Zhi and I, strategising for most efficient results. Well, I wasn't very good at it, but they sure were.

We only stopped playing when Nyat had to go. We were expertless.

That's right. we didn't get any work done.

Monday.

I awoke (not so ) early monday morning knowing I had no classes. No obligation to go to college and absorb the knowledge passed on to me by my lecturers. It was a plesant realization. I deserved the next 15 minutes in bed.

I had the day planned out--well, sort of. Kum had invited me for an outing with Ben and Nick. I couldnt wait. Outings with them are always fun. Stress-free, no strings attached. Sometimes I wonder what I did right to get the friends I have :).

Of course, even though I claimed I couldn't, I had to wait.

It was pretty funny, actually, and they were worth the wait anyway. Their amazing sense of direction and ability to relay information got kum making a U-turn partially on a curb (or so I hear). Plus the car stopped at some point. I dunno. I was just happy they made it in one piece.

I insisted Kum walk me to the Curve as he wasn't allowed to drive me. The poor chap had to walk back and forth. poor guy.

So I happily enjoyed myself; we played pool,2 on 2 (me and kum won' with not much help from me) and foosball (me an nick won, yeah blackies!), then continued to walk around while waiting for Star Trek. Of course, I walked around as naturally as ever,forgetting that it was Ben's birthday. Of course I knew the date of his bithday, and I knew the date of that day, but i just didn't string two and two together. Yeah. Whoops.

Star Trek. Hmm.. I liked Spock. Spock was cute. Adoreable! Omg.

Of course the boys didn't share my enthusiasm.

Holidays :)

Looks like I have alot to write about. Almost too much for me to handle! Lets take it one step at a time shall we..
Holidays started directly after our mid-terms (which breezed along for me, particularly because I didn't bother to study a single thing. My mind would rather focus on what's after that horrible mess.). I relished my freedom as though I'd been locked away and forced to do hard labour in the past month, which of course I hadn't, but that was how drained my brain was. My main objective for these holidays was to emulate a vegetable-- I would do pretty much nothing.

And of course, I needed fun. Long awaited fun. To leave the troubles associated with college and let myself go. To be with my friends without a care.

So that's what I did. In the first week, anyway.

Monday was particularly notable. But perhaps I shall break down my holidays in several parts.

I'll probably not mention all the times I just sit around and waste my time away.
