*do remember to comment as this is a work in progress!
For Chinese Drums today, we were asked to bring buckets. You can probably imagine what happens next.
Now, not everyone had buckets to spare -- so a couple of us used the floor outside the North Hall.
Steven just went crazy with the whole idea.
Seladang! Say what? We take it to the top!

Here & Now.
UPDATE: It's Sports Day, and I seriously can't believe I have to be there in half an hour. Dad just scared the shiz out of me right outside my room door, but a little more on that later. Well, I'm off -- see you at one of the biggest events of the year.
All attempts to convince my parents to participate in the 4x100 relay and/or the tug-of-war events have failed.
My Dad claims he's too old and that there are loads of other younger parents about that could participate -- I bet he just doesn't want to show off his unbridled machismo. *wink
I have good feelings for tomorrow, and it's looking to become quite a day for all Cempakans and Non-Cempakans alike!
On a separate note: I have discovered I have several different variations of laughter. A couple of which are apparently quite amusing.
Also to all Seladang Cheerleaders, both Cherasian and Damansaran, my hat's off to you!
Alright, I've just finished re-watching WALL•E for about the fourth time, and quite suddenly I heard a *clank!* outside my window.
I knew that a few people would be coming to service the air-conditioning machines around the house today, but quite frankly I didn't expect this!
My dad came in to my room a few moments ago to inform me that they had arrived; the air-conditioning service-men. I asked, "So do I need to leave the room?"
"No, you can continue with your work. Just go open the blinds, will you?" answered my dad.
I went over to the window, pulled up the blinds and then the ladder collided with the side of the house.
Okay, right now at this very moment, there is a man on the ladder outside my window. Don't worry, he can't see the inside of my room -- unless he starts swinging the ladder from side-to-side; which is quite a risky and daring, so I really doubt he will.
And now they're hosing the window and unit -- along with muttered, undistinguished words. I can only vaguely make the words out; must be something to do with air-conditioning units, hoses and/or ladders.
Go fight, win tonight. Boogie down alright, alright.
Seladang's gonna win alright.

The Humans Have Taken It.

Tres Missen Unus.
That's three missing one, for those of you unfamiliar with Latin or German.
Yeah, it's both.
Bernard Keo's been stuck on my Skype account page for about more or less the entire day. Before the cbox on the right gets spammed with similar questions, Bernard Keo was a Cempakan but has since moved to Melbourne, Australia.
*about the cbox, it's not moving -- at all.
We tried to get Resistance 2 online in the afternoon for some fragging, but required updates and patches popped up all over the television screen.
Instead of wasting time to both download and install said updates, we decided to just challenge each other on how fast we could complete the single-player missions on the hardest difficulty. There was also not to mention the declining internet connection at both our residences.
We got to as far as past the second chapter, which took about say two hours or so. Surprisingly, we didn't get as killed as many times as i thought. Those Chimera got nothing on us veterans.
Fast forward to tonight: Skype Conference Call with Keo and Lee.
It felt just as good as the great old days -- filled with all the fun and hysteria.
The only thing that's missing? Ryan Wong, that crazy little guy in Dubai.
Holy Handbaskets, your voice cracked.

Like Old Times;
UPDATE: It's midnight, so I'd like to wish Teoh Jiah Sze a Happy Birthday. To the friend who never ceased to surprise me.
And I enjoyed every single millisecond of it.
Day started off proper at 1200, when we left the house for the Teoh residence. A quaint and quiet drive with their driver at the wheel lasted for about twenty minutes.
The Teoh brother and sister go way back with the Sam twins -- we've been spending time together ever since our fateful meeting nine years ago. Two years back, we actually went down all the way to Singapore with just our bags, a wallet chucked with cash and two room keys. Heck, we could survive a fallout together.
Returning to today: we stood at the doorsteps of our old friends. Ellya spotted a chicken; I made out four. I insisted they were real, and my sister didn't agree. Jason opened the front door and Ellya asked whether they were illusions. Jason claimed, "They're holograms," in his old poker face -- that's Jason!
We stepped inside and were greeted by two familiar faces, Auntie Joni and Uncle Teoh. Then, walking down the staircase was Jiah Sze. We exchanged our greetings and took a bit of time to catch up.
Soon after, we were whisked off to One Utama. Our first stop was the cinema, where we took a look at what they were screening today. Strangely every film was only being screened much later -- so we headed off for lunch; we were starving as it was already.
We walked down the many floors trying to find something to satisfy our growing hunger. As we stepped off the escalator, something caught Jason's eye -- the words: HALF-PRICE. It was on a billboard outside the Sushi Groove establishment located right in the Oval division of the shopping complex. The rest is history.
After a filling lunch, we headed back to the cinema.
We took a good half hour to decide on a movie to watch. Eventually, we agreed on Coffesions of a Shopaholic, despite Jason's and my craving for something smothered in action with a twist of adventure.
To burn off the one hour of time before the doors were opened, we headed off to the bowling alley. Jason and Jiah Sze had a game of foosball, then we proceeded to the bowling kiosk to purchase a game. I must say, the attendant at the stall was obviously cranky and unpleasant.
We had a good game with everyone scoring spares and strikes, minus Jason. Hah.
After the game, Jiah Sze had the sudden desire for Bubble Tea. The only outlet known to sell this elusive beverage was on the other side of OneU -- but hey, we had loads of time to spare.
At the outlet, I felt as if it took a longer time preparing the four teas compared to us having to walk there. It was a refreshing drink nonetheless, and it was really worth the walk. The teas had balls of flour in them; strangely they found this phrase amusing.
We headed back to the cinema, only to find we still had about twenty minutes left. We decided the arcade was a good place to stop at. Jason and I had a good round of shooting villainous troopers, and we all had a good game of mini-basketball.
To prevent us from sleeping in the hall, Jiah Sze and Ellya purchased these "sour power" treats from a small outlet right outside the entrance to the halls. We stepped inside and watched the film.
Right after, we took a slow walk to the drop-off bay and were sent back to their place. We had a good round of jamming on ROCK BAND and I finally heard Jason sing; albeit slightly gibberish-y.
We had home-made nasi lemak for dinner, and then we had Jason drive us for the first time.
I had the most amazing drive back to my place ever. Jason's been driving for about a year now (though Jiah Sze claims it to be much less than twelve months), but Ellya and I have never been in a car with him behind the wheel. The three of us were his navigators.
During the journey, we took the time for lively and random conversations which involved anything and everything.
Back at the Sam homestead, we watched Marley & Me. No one cried at the end. Surprised?
They left about an hour ago, and well: it was an exhilarating day and certainly not the last of our meetings. I look forward to our next gathering, whenever that may be.
It's those sort of flowery things.

Infamous.
A famous axiom states that a civilization is never more than a few missed meals away from anarchy. If a society's infrastructure -- government, utilities, law enforcement -- stopped functioning, how long would it be before people put aside the trappings of civility and focused solely on survival? Imagine how far you would go to feed yourself or your family after just one day trapped in this bleak scenario. What about after 15 days?
Hope is difficult to find in such a harsh environment, but not impossible.
Infamous, a new open-world action title from Sucker Punch Productions, puts players in a position to save what is left of a deteriorating society. As an ordinary man developing extraordinary abilities, you can be the light that guides people out of the darkness...if you choose to be.

The Second Day.
The Sun was still as fiery as ever, though it failed to get my attention. For some uncanny reason, I more more focused on the games and cheering rather than my burning, lobster-red arms.
But even with all the fuss we had to accomplish during the House Deco Competition, I felt today was even worse.
I was running about all over the place doing things from patrolling the blocks to shouting hysterically on the field.
After school, I learnt a little rugby, tossed a frisbee or two and played a game of softball. Then Chinese Drums 'till 6:10.
A massive day -- but it's really not as bad as it sounds, but tiring nonetheless.
*Oh, and I have a Twitter account now.
