Hourglass

Basically, I've been through a lot in the past few weeks.  Be it either laziness or fatigue, sorry I didn't blog about it for a while.

Firstly, the Bukit Tabur hike may never be blogged about properly, as the pictures aren't fully uploaded yet.  But it was 1000 meters above ground level, and an incredible experience.  I nearly slipped on that quartz ridge twice, of which the outcome wouldn't be nice in any way, and I was reminded of how precious and fragile life can be.  That same day, I was late for my graduation by an hour or so, because of the rain and the jam.  I wasn't particularly happy about that, but my lecturers and friends were there to accompany me.  So that didn't suck too bad.  So that was on a Friday, the 20th of July.

Then on the 25th of July, I grabbed Roger along for a session of Laser Tag with the Sunway peeps, since he's never played it before.  Had quite a good time that day, getting 2nd, 3rd and 5th on the standings for the three games we played.  And Roger was so compelled to beat me in the game that with every kill he has on me, he would actually run up to my face and shout: "You mad?!".  That was fun haha!

The next day saw me playing futsal with again, the Sunway peeps, plus Roger and my driving school buddy, Vikesh and his team.  It was a nice day as well, although I didn't score any goals.  I did grab some 4 assists, helping Roger net 2 of his 4-goal tally that day.  The highlight for my day there was managing to beat a defender with a roulette.  Like, finally!  But after the turn and gasps of awe from my spectating friends, I fired the shot straight at the keeper...  So I'll have to work on my finishing a lot more.

Then on Saturday, Rachel had a farewell party at Metropolitan Square Condominiums.  It was a great time, getting to hang out with friends and chill for the day.  My only issue was the blasted parking rate, which costed me RM 15.50.  But it's a small thing, in exchange for what I went through.

On Sunday, I returned to my kampung at Seremban for prayers.  The prayers was mainly to give me the blessing and guidance from my ancestors.  It was a simple event, but as I stepped up to that altar, with the rest of my family looking on, it was very emotional.  So close was I to breaking down right in front of them; it just meant so much to me.

I got my laptop's RAM increased at Digital Mall on the 31st of July, with Isaac being the extremely annoying backseat driver and Roger tagging along.  The following day, I followed my mom for lunch with some newly-acquainted friends and was forced fed one too many prawns (reasons being I'm young, that I need to eat more so that I can grow, etc) so I had a severe allergic reaction to that.  Thus, I got a shot in the butt to cure it.

And the next day saw me spring cleaning the ADTP Storeroom, which prior to that day had never been delved into for the past 2 years.  It was simply a mess in there!  Being the dude with a partial OCD to cleanliness, it was horrifying in there.  But nevertheless, we got the entire room sorted out and rearranged in some 5 hours time.  After that, Naufal and I were interviewed on behalf of Sunway ADTP, to be recorded and uploaded on the online database.  It was baaaad haha!  We kept screwing up every now and then, but it was a fun time.  Later that night, we buka puasa at Itallianese.  And as usual, I overate.  Severely.

That Friday saw me returning to my other kampung at Ipoh to say goodbye to my relatives.  It was a day trip so nothing much happened, but I was dead tired by the end of the day.  And yesterday Chin, Danny, Roger and I attempted to head to Wangsa Maju for the Burger Bakar Kaw Kaw, but failed to in the end, so we headed to SS2 Murni instead.

And I'm having lunch with The Usual Gang later at Hayaki, going to buy a batik shirt with my parents, and later a steamboat dinner with the Scouts at Fat One Steamboat.

So much to do, and I'm not even done packing yet.
