Hello. Today we had school until 12.45pm. Actually, if there is nothing on after 12.45pm, that's the time we are going to be dismissed everyday until school ends. Today we got back a few more papers.

Physics was ok, but I wanted higher. We also got back English. I think I'm the top in class. But I'm not happy. Why? Because I'm 1 mark short of an A. What the **** man. One. Bitchin. Mark. Man. People cry when they flunk English. I cry because I can't get an A for the subject. I'm awesome.

After we were dismissed, I was walking to the stairs outside the toilet when some guys from 4I [The class closest to the stairs] suddenly told me that I had an A2 for Geography as I walked past them. I was like "Huh? You serious?" because I thought I was going to fail the paper. They told me that Mr Low, our Geography teacher, had a lesson in their class, but he went to the staff room to get something.

He happened to leave all the test papers of his classes on the teacher's desk. So I went in and checked it out. Wow. I really got an A2 man. 36.5/50. That's only for one of the Geography papers. I dunno if it's Physical or Human geog, but I really thought I was going to fail. Guess not.

After that, Say Yin, Sebastian, Yeow Boon and Shi Jie went to play LAN. Addicts. Yan Ming didn't go because he was emo-ing over his marks. I went back home and ate my lunch. I ate this lemon chicken rice from Tiong Bahru Market and it rocks man. I really like it.

Then I played Xbox for a bit. I played a few Pro Face-Offs and Battle modes with my brother in Guitar Hero 3, and he pwned me every time. Damn it. We played Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n Roses [I lost], The Pretender by Foo Fighters [I lost again], Top Gun Anthem [Guess what? I lost] and Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce [Cramped my fingers like ****].

After that I played Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for the first time on my own Xbox. Hmmm, what can I say. Alright. We all know about B grade movies. They are movies with a lower budget and often focus on over the top action. Then this is what I can say about Mercs 2: It is the ultimate B grade game. You'll love this game if you love destruction. It's fun to blow shit up, but I'm a little disappointed at the cutscenes and voice acting.

Cutscenes are little videos in between different levels which tell the story of the game. And cutscenes are usually better than, or at least of the same graphical standard of the game. However, the cutscenes in Mercs 2 aren't good. Then graphics look last gen in the cutscenes, although they are alright in the game. But the voice acting is atrocious to a point that it becomes hilarious to even hear the characters talk.

At the start of Mercs 2, you get to pick one of 3 mercenaries, Chris, Mattias or Jennifer. Each of these characters have a unique trait that will help you throughout the game. Chris can carry more ammo, Jennifer can sprint faster, and Mattias has faster health regeneration. I'd recommend anyone who has this game to play as Mattias, the guy with the mohawk.

He speaks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his lines are hilariously cheesy. Upon picking up a new gun, he says to the gun, "I think I'll call you Louisa. We're gonna kill a whole lotta people Louisa." Wow. He actually needs to name a gun a female name. What a lonely man he must be. The best line I ever heard him say was, "Tank. I like." in this mono tone voice. LMAO.

Anyways, I took a video of the opening cutscene, as well as the first 10 mins of the game. I actually managed to get 40 Achievement points just by completing the Tutorial and first level. So now my total Gamerscore is 6980. 20 more to 7000!! Ok, so here's the video, with commentary by Yours Truly:

I played till 4pm, and ever since I've been doing the Maths Set C questions, as well as some Chemistry questions from the 5 year series. I guess that's gonna be my daily routine until school ends for Sec 4s [Either next Friday or the Friday after that], go to school, come home, play Xbox for a while, study, use computer or watch TV, then sleep.

I actually managed to have a balance of play and study. Ok maybe there's more play than study, but who cares. Everyone thinks that O levels means chiong study, but no, you need to play to. So have a balance. I dunno if I actually make sense. Ok anyways, end of post, see you tomorrow.
