I'd upload pix if my phone would let me! Nargles!

Today I was walking up the stairs to the hall, smiling to myself somewhat, when I saw Mr Toh walk out of the hall. He asked me how I was doing, and then commented that I was obviously relieved exams were over since he noticed that I was smiling a lot more nowadays.

I don't know why exactly, but it made my day. Possibly because there was someone out there who actually noticed the effect exams and academics had on me, and the difference now that they were gone. It sort of like showed me that the teachers do care, even if they don't usually show it.

I wonder if I'll still keep smiling like this...

NARG HOW COULD I HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP DURING THE F1 RACE?! HOWWWWW?

And it was the deciding race for the overall drivers' championship too! From the start it was already one of the more exciting races this season - Button with his overtaking moves, that complete fiasco at the start of the race, Trulli's off-track conduct towards Sutil (I liked how Sutil kept his cool towards Trulli), not to mention Kovalainen's mishap with the fuel hose (ah, Singapore).

Oh well, but I caught up with the action on the Formula 1 website. Something about Button singing "We are the champions" over the team radio. Guess Abu Dhabi will have a more relaxed racing atmosphere then. Apparently it's also the first twilight race or something? I'm quite interested to see how that'll look like.

-----------

Half-Life 2: I love the boat chase in the chapter Water Hazard! Especially when the fast-paced "chase" music came on - that really set the atmosphere for me. I'm still not sure what track it is, people have mentioned it's Track 24 but it sounds kinda different for me.
When the game was being made, he is supposed to be Blair Wainwright's ex-boyfriend.
- The Sims Wiki
I read the Sims wiki entry for Cycl0n3 Sw0rd recently and was surprised to read this little nugget of information. Because in my game, my character Mariya Hugo has Cycl0n3 as a love interest (primarily because of their similar love for computers). Suddenly one day when Mariya was hanging out with him I saw the option "Ask to break up with Blair" or something along those lines. It turned out while Mariya was wooing Cycl0n3 he had time to hook up with Blair. So I made Mariya ask him to break up with Blair. Which he did willingly. So I guess he's now Blair's ex-boyfriend anyway!

I actually didn't realise the implications of that option when I first saw it (I didn't know Blair was Cycl0n3's girlfriend then) until I had Mariya be intimate with Cycl0n3 in front of the theatre; coincidentally, Blair's parents were also there at the same time, and her mother was beginning to develop an "enemy" mentality towards Mariya. Mariya managed to soothe Blair's dad, but she's still Disliked by Blair's mum and is an Old Enemy with Blair herself.

The icing on the cake? Blair is Mariya's boss.

(One thing doesn't make sense to me. Blair is a mere Lieutenant, a Level 5 in the Law Enforcement career. Mariya is now an International Super Spy, an amazing Level 10. How the fish is Blair still Mariya's boss?!)

I haven't posted in ages. I'm back in that lazy-to-blog mood again. Just a quick update though - got our exam results back, it's not bad, I reckon. In comparison to the subjects I failed, the rest pulled my GPA up rather so I'm quite happy with it.

Yesterday was an absolutely lazy day - I ended up staying at home the whole day, living someone else's life but my own. Although I'm happy to report that the certain someone's life has been pretty fulfilling. : D


The graphics look much better in-game.

Got my Farthest North book yesterday! I borrowed Sarahlala's Kino card to get 10% off ;D Though it feels weird using someone else's card since it's got their name on it and not yours.

Cashier: Are you a member?
Me: [Actually no, but my friend is, and I've got her card, and I DO want that discount so...] Yes.

When I got home I immediately wrapped the book in plastic. I wish it was hardcover, though. D: The school library should offer those hardcover services to us, if they do it themselves - the Paul Theroux book I borrowed had those hard plastic covers pasted on the paperback.

I flipped through the book - it's really much better than the Modern Library abridged version. This one has loads more pictures and photographs, and I do believe there are sections I've never read before. But I have to finish Ghost Train to the Eastern Star first before I read this, or I'll never finish that.

Also, my computer's back! New and improved! Dual-core processor, 2 gigs of RAM and my brother's old graphics card. All in all, that cost me $135, of which I still owe my mum (who paid my brother first) $48. I told her not to give me any allowance for the next two weeks. T___T Well, she's still paying for my lunch when she goes grocery shopping and I tell her to buy me bread and stuff.

Brilliant, now I can play The Sims 3 without wasting the graphics at crap levels.

So it's 2.32am.

I just spent the last few minutes or so feeling my heartbeat through the thick blood vessel in my neck. Not intentionally, I was just resting my chin on my hand, and then I suddenly became aware how strong the beat was.

BA-dump, BA-dump, BA-dump.

It feels quite fast for a resting heart rate.

BA-dump, BA-dump, BA-dump.

I think it slowed down somewhat.

Reminds me of that time Mr Kenneth Tan told us to measure our resting heart rate in Sec 1. I ended up with an unusually high heart rate because I was anticipating him announcing the start of the minute.

"3, 2, 1..."

My heart rate accordingly went up like that of a sprinter's waiting for the gun to go off. Everyone ended up with 60s and 70s, but I somehow recorded an amazing 120 beats per minute.

Suddenly, I want to play soccer.

So I just played my first FPS game today (not including Team Fortress 2, that was NOT a triumph), and I ended up feeling queasy after only thirty minutes of gameplay LOL.

The game? Half-Life 2.


Wait, what?

...oh snap.

Fun fact: HL2 was released a day before my birthday.
