"38" Day

For the first time ever, I finally went out with Nina, Harry and Kenneth, three of whom are one-year-younger than me. Our outing was rather simple and mostly sitting and chatting. The plan was actually much more simplify than reality as I only thought of playing Left 4 Dead 2 in CC with them. Then, we subsequently had lunch together and several additional walking around the Mahkota district. We went to Gamer CC at around 2:30pm, we chose Gamer due to the fact that it was quiet than Mega. Moreover, Gamer has a second floor (which was closed by the time we went there), so, we kind of expected that there might be more rooms for us. Unfortunately, the longest combo seats for four people were three, which means that one of us had to sit alone. Since Kenneth wasn’t with us, yet (he had to travel on foot from Sg. Long to Mahkota), we left him alone and started the game without him. It was the first time for Nina to visit a CC and also a newbie to Left 4 Dead world next to Kenneth. Prior to our outing, Harry and I already taught her the basic rules of this game; stay together, she managed this instruction although I must admit that she has trouble aiming and controlling her character. For some reason, she could survive realism mode instead of normal version.
Kenneth came by shortly when we were about to start the third chapter of Dead Center. He claimed he did play this game before, but wasn’t really that good at it. He sat alone behind us, which was a big mistake as he clearly might have tons of trouble as Nina’s game play. On top of that, the microphone was broken, I couldn’t really communicate with them other than shout or type message. As a result, we couldn’t even success both the emergency alarm event at the mall and the scavenging at the atrium.


We left the CC at 5pm and walked ourselves to local Jusco. We had no purpose of going there, though, intending to wait for the time to pass ‘till 6pm. Before that, we went to the pet shop next to Jusco building where we fancied the hamsters; our main pet for at least three of us. Most of this time was just wandering around aimlessly. Except for Nina who bought an anime at a DVD store. Then followed by Harry and Kenneth competed each other in an Arcade game called “Taiko”. We had our lunch at Susan as I said earlier. It was an Italian restaurant where I first visited with Lee Cheng and Tiong Hong few weeks ago. It took us awhile before we finally decided to order our own meals with a regular sized Hawaiian Chicken Pizza.

Luckily I didn’t order mushroom soup; my stomach was about to burst with only a plate of Spaghetti Carbonara, a cup of strawberry & lime soda and two slices of pizzas. We sat there for almost two hours as we chatted about our school life, games including Left 4 Dead 2 and Fatal Frame. It was quite fun until a friend of Harry showed up, a rather self-proclaimed person who thought he is good looking and constantly judge other female’s facial look. It was annoying that eventually ruined my mood.

We went back to Jusco again, on our way there, I almost stepped on a dead rat lying on the street, thanks to Harry’s quick alarm. My mood was relieved when that “guy” was not with us. Coincidently, we met him again at the main door of Jusco. Bad thing was he followed us to the food court where we had a chat.
Apparently, the only people that actually talked were Kenneth, Harry and him. Nina and I were sms-ing each other despite the fact that she was just sitting next to me; we were vicious talk about that “guy” that we both disliked, lol. After awhile, he left. THANK GOD!
At this point, we did something stupid and embarrassing, at least for me. We proceeded to the Teenager’s department and randomly picked a new outfit and changed them just for the sake of taking photos. I never done thing like this before. But it was all about fun; it's ok to serve them as memories, lol.

We decided to go Harry’s house which just nearby to Jusco. His house was so dark that I couldn’t even watch my footstep, especially when ascending the stairs, who knows we might trip down. Once in his room, Harry tried to connect the internet via wifi but failed to do so. We blamed it was Nina who jinxed it, in a jokingly tone, of course. Nina was playing Warcraft when the boys were chatting on Harry’s bed. I must say that his room is quite comfortable with a big space like this, and I would like to stay in if I could, lol.
We went back home at around 10:30pm.

Cibo Italiano!

Few days ago, I had my lunch at an Italian Restaurant in Mahkota called “Susan’s Restaurant”, the name might sounds weird for a restaurant, but it was recognized in worldwide. The reason I went there was actually wanted to help one friend of mine, a very inconvenient one, Lee Cheng, in his culinary assignment where he had to do a full report of this Italian Restaurant. I didn’t really help him much, though.

The restaurant is small and peaceful with a soft music playing in the background. The day was still early when we arrived. So, we ordered drinks first; Steamed Milk for me, Cappuccino for Lee Cheng and Ice Lemon Tea for Tiong Hong.

We finally ordered some meals after an hour; it took us awhile for deciding our meals as we were so reluctant to off our budget. In the end, Tiong Hong ordered Spaghetti Bolognese and as for me, Spaghetti Cabonara and Wild Mushroom Soup.

The total costs me RM27. It was worth a price I must say, it was tasty and it fulfilled my appetite.

Childhood Memories ♥~

My younger cousins, Gavin, came back to his hometown all over from Kelantan with his parents the day before yesterday. Wait, it isn’t holiday yet, how come he came back here? Well, he has just enrolled to Montfort school to study Graphic Design for about 2 two years in Shah Alam. Seriously, I had never heard this school before until he told me about it; he said it’s an all-boys-school that runs like a military service, once you’re in, you cannot leave the school property unless there’s public holiday (weekend doesn’t accounted in). Yeah, sound like prison more than school to me.

I offered him to stay overnight at my house for one last time before he officially move in to the prison-like-school this Sunday. I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 with my friends by the time he arrived, he replaced me shortly after while I went to do some chores. Surprisingly, when I came back, his character was already dead by throwing him off the map. Somehow, my friends quitted the game, leaving only the two of us. I took this chance training his skills on both campaign and versus mode, he mostly has mastered everything, except the weapon choices and trouble aiming are his biggest weaknesses.

Time passed by very swiftly and it was already half past night. We walked on foot to a local PETRONAS Gas Station intending to buy some snacks for supper. We couldn’t believe that the department store at the gas station was closed! We put a high hope for Mamak Store instead at the back of Taman Rakan district; we talked a lot of our childhood pastimes when we both just stayed few streets away from one another and how we used to play together with other cousins. Now, everything has changed, quite sad, isn’t it?

Lucky us, the Mamak Store was still running, we ordered ourselves a plate of fried Maggie noodle and a cup of teh tarik. We didn’t spent much time at there since it was very warm that I sweated like a pig. After supper, we, again, walked back on foot and started watching Kung Fu Panda 2 in DVD. We played a few games before we went to bed, all these games were the ones we frequently played as a kid;

Airplanes Game


Gavin was checking out the letters that we were once wrote to each other before we applied internet
