So after I wrote my last post, Ian came home and said that he had three people ready to play Left 4 Dead 2 and he needed a fourth person, so of course I agreed. Sean Joel and Jan were the other two. Ian was rushing me a bit, but I got to eat a bit of bacon and eggs before I went.
Anyway first we had to go pass some money over to the dad of the dude whose car Ian hit a while back. We spent enough time waiting for me to be able to say that Ian could've waited at least until I got my contact lenses in before we left. Ah well.
L4D2 was awesome fun as usual. The only downside was that Ian didn't want to cooperate on the first finale, and we ended up having to turn down the difficulty to Normal to get past. Also the guys who ran the cybercafe kept dropping by to tell us to "make the noise small". We shrugged them off. Anyway the second campaign we played was hilarious fun, so that was good.
After that we went over to Maybank so I could get some money (I now have RM150 in my bank, which is still quite a bit) and then we had some KFC. The popcorn chicken was pretty yummy.
Nothing much happened on the drive after that. We sent Sean Joel home and listened to football on the radio, but that was it.
Anyway back home I saw that Hannah's beanbag was in the living room. Hannah said it was there because it had a hole in it and she was waiting for Aunty Rosie to sew it up. Also, Yii Huei and Rebecca are staying over. I've only had, like, one sleepover ever, and that was when I was eight or something. Maybe I'm jealous.
Anyway I'm going to read and exercise and go to bed. I think I'll chew gum to stay awake in church tomorrow. Other plans for tomorrow include watching The Hurt Locker and taking a nap.

The Last Day of the First Week of My Last Semester
Four day school weeks are nice.
My classes started at eleven today. I ended up leaving a little later than I should have due to procrastination. My motorcycle ride took five and a half minutes, and I arrived in class just before Ms Selina. Psychology was fun and interesting. During class I checked how many pages there were, divided that amount by 14, and then resolved to read 42 pages a day so that I'd be finished with the book in two weeks' time.
That's what I spent my break doing, mostly. I read the entire preface and ten or so actual pages (I didn't count preface pages as part of the daily 42 because they are in Roman numerals), and then I had to go to my Finite Maths class. I was a little early, though, so I went up to Giant for a while to grab something to snack on. When I was there I started looking for the packet of chips that would give me the most bang for my buck, and settled on an 80g pack of Roller Coasters for one-something ringgit. It was pretty tasty.
Finite Maths was again covering stuff I had already learned. I ended up falling asleep halfway through class, but the lecturer gave us a break so I went to wash my face so I'd be more alert when we did the exercises and stuff.
After Finite Maths I went over for my Physics lecture. We learnt about matter phases and deformation from stress and pressure and stuff. It was cool.
Back at home I made myself some pancakes from batter in the fridge. I also fell asleep while reading a few more pages of the psychology textbook. Ian woke me up because he was heading to the CC to play Left 4 Dead.
Left 4 Dead was awesome fun. We were at a different cybercafe than last time. The graphics were spectacularly better, and there were headphones so I could finally hear what the game sounded like. It sounds awesome. Also the guns and gore are absolutely beautiful. We had a good time playing with friends, even though I lost pretty much every round.
On the way home we stopped for McDonald's. As I was eating I found another cockroach on me, for a lifetime total of a dozen or something. I stopped counting a while back. I do not know why those bugs are attracted to me; I shower everyday. Maybe I just have some kind of animal magnetism. It would explain why my cat is so attached to me, at least.
Anyway when I got back home I finished up my daily reading and did my sit-ups and came here to write this. Tomorrow I'll be sleeping in and then I'm taking Hannah and Stefanie to Central Market. I forgot why. I think Stefanie persuaded me to do it just for the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from being a helpful brother. Stefanie is dangerously persuasive. I like it better when Hannah's the one asking for favours; then at least I can extract French fries or something from her. Oh well.
That is pretty much it for this post. Oh yeah, Elo came back today. It was nice to see her again, I guess.
Finally here is a list of people who want to be on lists:
1) Joanna Noelle Ambrose
Wish granted, I guess.

First Day of the Decade
The 1st of January 2010 was similar to the 1st of January 2009 and 2008 in that my family spent an hour or so around noontime watching CNN's coverage of Times Square on New Year's Eve with Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper. It was fairly funny and a nice, lazy way to start the day, the year, and the decade.
In the afternoon, Ian, Jan, Ruben, and I went to a CC with Kenneth and Joel to play Left 4 Dead 2. Versus in that game is really fun.
When we got home I took a nap, and when I woke up Colin and Nicholas were here, along with their parents, because we were having a barbecue. It took me a while, but eventually I woke up enough to drive to 7-Eleven with the guys to get some drinks and snacks. In the middle of the meal I got a call from Hannah asking me to pick her and Stefanie up from Mid Valley. I told Hannah I'd be there in a bit because first I wanted to show the guys the roof. Jan and Ruben climbed to the top with me, but Colin and Nick chose to stay more grounded.
Hannah and Stefanie asked me to take them to 7-Eleven, so for the third time in the day, I did. They are rather loud passengers, though, and Stef kept trying to switch the channel to R&B bullshit or whatever.
Later on at around 1am at night, when everyone had left, I went swimming. When I got to the pool I saw a guard up in the building telling me I couldn't go swimming since it was past ten. I told him that I'd been going swimming after ten for the past month. He told me I still couldn't swim, so I told him I'd be real quick. He had his eye on me the whole time. When I was done I checked the rules. There wasn't anything on the board about a closing time for the pool.
When I got back upstairs I did a hundred sit-ups while Jan played Carnivores 2, which is one of the old games we downloaded recently. Jan found out a way to adjust the graphics to make the guns shinier and to make blood come out of the dinosaurs when he shot them. I can't wait to try those settings on my computer later.
I think today (Tuesday) I will be going to watch Avatar in 3D. Also the sit-ups I did tonight will hopefully be the first of many that I will be doing for a long while. Amanda inspired me to try and get a six-pack. I might add push-ups to the routine later, I dunno.
I've spent almost three-quarters of my High Distinction reward money already. Hm.

So, Yesterday.
Yesterday I woke up at noon and discovered that Ebony was in our house getting ready to leave for a girl's camp with Hannah and Susanna. I also found out that Jan and Ian were going to a cybercafe, and I wanted to go, too. I had to rush a bit to get myself ready.
At the CC, we played the third campaign of Left 4 Dead 2 with Kenneth. It went a lot smoother than the last time we played. Only two of us managed to escape, though, but that's because everyone ran off to do their own thing during the finale instead of following my plan. After that Kenneth decided to play Counter-Strike, so Ian, Jan, and I played the second campaign without him. I thought the fourth player would be a bot, but some guy from elsewhere in the CC joined instead, and he was a complete idiot so we died before even reaching the first safehouse. Jan got bored of L4D2 after that, so Ian and I played Generals against each other and a bunch of bots. We both died pretty quickly.
After we were done with the CC we went home, and I went on my computer until late in the night-time. I mostly played around with Google Earth, which is really really awesome. I know I should have been this excited about the program four years ago when it was released, but I never spent much time with it so I'm only now discovering its awesomeness. You can zoom in to any outdoor area on earth, change the time of day or time in history (I saw a plot of trees across from my house turn into an awesome high-class apartment block), or, best of all, switch to a flight simulator at any time. I flew an F16 around KL, then I tried to fly a prop plane through the Grand Canyon (I got lost in a dead end and crashed), then I flew to the Burj Dubai, then I flew 300km from Paris to the Netherlands. That last flight took me half an hour or so, but it was pretty dang cool. I took the coastal route.
I also went swimming, but I only did 20 laps so it only took me fifteen minutes or so.
Ian and Jan want to throw a barbecue on New Year's Eve, which is awesome because I want to do that, too. After I get my dad's permission I'll post an event on Facebook and send out invites and stuff. Should be a lot of fun.
Also I got a reply to an e-mail that I sent as a reply to an e-mail I received two years ago. The e-mail from two years ago was about catching up after a while of losing touch, so there is some nice symmetry going on here. It's cool to see what's changed with this dude I've known from the internet since I was like twelve or something. Now he's about to graduate from university and he's got his own web company with his brother and a friend and stuff, so that is cool to know. It's kind of like the Up series, but more personal. If you still have the e-mail address of a friend from your past, you should ask them how they're doing. It'll always have interesting results.
Yeah I think that's all I got. Oh yeah, I should've dropped my motorcycle off yesterday at the repair place to have it serviced, but I forgot.
