Hello. Today was an ultimate day of slack for me. I was watching Mythbusters on my computer up to 2am early this morning, so I woke up at 10am. First thing I did was pick up my copy of the November issue of EGM and I started reading.

After that, I turned on my computer and went to Onemanga.com. The new Naruto and Bleach chapters were finally up, so I read them. Then I surfed the net for a bit. At 11am my mother asked me to go to Tiong Bahru market to buy lunch. I went to buy three packets of Nasi Lemak for me and my siblings, then I went back home to eat.

At 12.20pm, my father came home from work, but he left again 5 mins later because he had to send my brother to Chinese tuition.

I decided to play Xbox. I played Burnout Paradise because I wanted to test out the new Burnout Bikes update. Bikes aren't as good as cars in my opinion. Sure, they're freakin fast, but when using bikes, there are less cars on the roads and there are fewer events. So I think motorcycles are cool at first, but they'll get old fast. But it's a free download, so I won't complain. Here's a video of motorcycle gameplay:

After that I played Mercenaries 2 for about 5 minutes because I wanted to see if they were serious about a certain Achievement. If the description of the Achievement was correct, all I had to do was to hold the accelerate and brake buttons when I'm in a vehicle. Seriously? That's a freakin easy 10 points. It turned out to be true. Wow. Easy points.

Played Guitar Hero 3 with my sister after that. She usually never plays games, so when she told me that she wanted to try it out, I was surprised. I played Face off mode with her. I was playing Hard and she was playing Easy. I won her 3 times and she won me once. I think it's really true what they say about casual games. Girls like playing them.

I then played Alone in the Dark. It's nothing special. And the controls are pretty bad. It is one of those games that need you to use the thumbstick to control attacks. And even worse, the controls change with every weapon.

For example, to use a sledgehammer, you need too rotate the thumbstick to gain momentum, then push the thumbstick in the direction you want to attack. But when you're using a gun, it's the Right Trigger that attacks. It confuses me. Anyways, I have a opening and first ten minutes video of the game:

When I completed the first chapter of Alone in the Dark, I unlocked 30 Achievement points, putting my total Gamerscore at 7020 points. It is starting to seem possible that I might be able to reach 10 000 points by the end of this year, since I'll probably be buying another 15 more games or so. I also found out two things today. 1)I rock and 2)I suck.

I rock because I have unlocked 378 Achievements so far. Wow, that's a lot. Three digits worth of Achievements. That's cool.

Whoo I should get an Achievement for getting that many Achievements

I suck because 7020 points may seem high, but if I actually bothered to chase every single Achievement I could get, I would have 35 575 points by now. Damn it.

7020 seems pathetic if you look at it that way.

After that I went to tuition. Today's tuition was quite funny because Mr Chin kept on joking. But I still felt sleepy because 1)I slept late last night, 2)I was sitting near the air conditioner, so it was quite comfortable, 3)I'm doing maths and 4)I was playing Xbox for a few hours before that, and gaming really drains the energy from you if you don't already know. This has been scientifically proven and if gaming doesn't tire you, YOU ARE A ****ING FREAK.

After tuition I took a bus back home. I like sitting in the top deck of a mostly empty bus. Then I can really blast music in my headphones and I can headbang a little. If there were a lot of people they would think I was having a seizure if I trashed my head up and down too much.

I went back home and resumed slacking. I read Animorphs book 37. I love Animorphs. My collection is short of only 14 books. Pity they don't print them anymore. Nowadays, the only was I can get my hands on a new Animorph book is when there is a clearance sale, when there is a book fair or from the Internet.

After that I played guitar a bit. I haven't played guitar for really long, but I can still remember 5 full songs by heart, so I guess it's alright. Damn it, I can't wait to get my new amp. Then I can really play.

I'm considering buying two more electric guitars, so that I'll have three in all. I'll keep one for standard tuning and I can just tune the low E string down to play Drop D, then I'll have another in permanent Drop C for Bullet for my Valentine, Atreyu and other metal songs, then the final one will be Drop B for Nu metal playing. Then I will be king.

I also want to learn how to scream properly. I'm not interested in clean vocals but screaming is really fun and cool. I can do the scream, and my brother can do the singing, because he has the best singing voice I know, and I dunno anyone who can scream.

After that I ate chicken rice for dinner, then I decided to use my computer and I started typing this post. See, this is really a day of slack. I hardly even studied. But I'm waking up tomorrow morning at 3.30am to study, so I guess that balances it. Ok, I'm gonna sleep now, if not I won't be able to wake up on time. Ending this post now, see you tomorrow.
