As the Dust Settles

Chinese O-Level is over!! And I think I can pass!! And I did okay for my Mid Years!

That's a bloody rock off my mind, at last, and the school holidays have technically started, although we, surprise surprise, have to go back for remedial lessons for the whole of this week. Can't really complain though, after reading about how other schools hold their students back for the ENTIRE holidays. Poor sods.

O-Levels weren't as frightening as I thought. Just before the first paper started Mrs. Goh, our vice principal, was going around asking students to "Go out there and get that A1!" for Chinese. Me, A1 for Chinese? What are you smoking woman?

Matthew fell asleep during the first paper in the hall. I almost woke him myself before I remembered I'd be dead if they caught me at it, so I got one of the outside invigilators to wake him up. Then at recess...

----
Me : Hehe, Matthew, I saved your ass up there
Matthew : Saved my ass your ass lah, I was finished!
Me : But there was almost an hour still left, I wasn't sure...
Matthew : I...was...finished...

I'm so appreciated by those I try to help huh? In the end he forgave me and Bryant and I down to Thomson Plaza for Subway. Remembered to bring back my two cookies this time, and Matthew and I split the two week old cookie Bryant found in his bag.

Finished off my RE4 game at Bryant's house, now doing round 2. Funny to watch all the little villager Ganado die when I turn my pimped up Red9 handgun on them. To think that we struggled through that and came out with a grand total of 2 handgun rounds the first time round. Unlocked all the characters in mercs in just under one hour.

And Sam, you're right, I'll have to partially retracted my statement that UBCS suck, for Agent HUNK's Neck Breaker is made of win. But he doesn't carry a knife despite being a commando, and he's from USS, who are better than UBCS, so they are still partially noobs.

Played TimeSplitters while I was at his place too, Tuesday. And what a game it was, should have asked to play it sooner. Sergeant Cortez is is like me, only with a shaved head and a truckload of badass-ness injected into him. For some strange reason, he got to play Cortez despite being player 2, so I had to play as all the different supporting characters as he jumps from timeline to timeline, from a hippie to a right dapper British chap.

TimeSplitters doesn't have much of a storyline, which I look out for in just about any game, but with time travel, there isn't room for much of that anyway. Of course, it does make for some interesting side effects, like Cortez appearing to aid himself on many occasions, then in the later parts of the game, you have to time travel back to save yourself. Like this.

Future Cortez : Psst, up here! (From a grating above in the ceiling)
Cortez : What the... You're me!
Future Cortez : Hehe, I knew you'd say that. Take this key. (Throws a key down)
Cortez : What's it for?
Future Cortez : You'll find out. Just don't forget to pass it on.

(Key opens a door later)

(Walking a passage)

Cortez : Hey look, a wormhole!! (Jumps through)

(Ends up above a grating where Future Cortez was, you can see Past Cortez from there)

Cortez : Psst, up here
Past Cortez : What the... You're me!
Cortez : Hehe, I knew you'd say that. Take this key (Throws down the key)

Bryant's parents are coming back from South America, so I don't think I'll be going back any time soon. Give any of us a call if you need to man. If its me, call my home phone, I don't answer my handphone that often, but you probably knew that already.
