Conclusion For June

#514
30th June
(Source: "9 Fun Things To Do This Summer" by Gabbie, www.theodysseyonline.com)

Till then, we made it to the half of 2017.
Wow that's really fast! I didn't notice that I could overcome the days so easily.
It doesn't feel like you have much time to look upon or to waste on frivolous matters.
So different from what I know during the studying days, it's nothing but repetition of working during daytime and playing during night time. 
Well of cuz' I did have hangouts or else I would be rotten at home.

Talking about June, Raya Holidays are over and now most of my university friends had completed their Year One. 
So, their year break is about two months.
Which mean, there're tons of opportunities of meeting them since most of them are now in Penang.
I'm quite surprised that their holidays started so damn early where I realized that their First Year only cover about 9 months only.
Back to square one, I still have work during July and planning to meet them would be as precise as possible.
The only off day that I could have is 7th July, it's UNESCO Heritage Day in Penang.
Regardless, Saturdays are most likely possible too, yet I didn't contact them, so all remains unplanned.

By the way, I still have a month of working until 31st July. 
Well, this is the true leaving and I'm really have to leave everything the rest to other teachers
Or maybe, to find a new teacher? That would just be another challenge, since it is quite tough to find a new one around this period.
I plan to rest for the whole August for preparation to enter university and also a trip.
Yupe! As confirmed, Kar Oon, Yi Fong and I will be going to KL for 4D3N, and made ourselves a challenge: "The RM500 Challenge"!
This challenge means to spend RM500 or less in KL including airfare, accommodation and transport.
This does look tough since everything's price is skyrocketing and had to spend in 4 days though.
Anyway, doing something crazy is the element of youth, so why not try it than doing nothing?
I'll post this on my blog once I'd came back from KL!

Another thing that you may ask is about CLHS Centenary, and why I didn't post about that?
Yupe, honestly, I didn't attend. It was on 17th and 18th June.
But, in the matter of traffic congestion, I switched my plan with my mom, and we went to Balik Pulau lol, an example of not being mainstream.
By the way, you could only witness a centenary in a lifetime, and probably I was destined to miss it, but not to mention that I felt relieved that I was able to attend the 95th celebration.
The event is really huge, a lot of events were going on, you can see them in the newspapers too.

Why am I going to Balik Pulau? Hmm, of cuz', one of the reason is to hangout with my aunt who live there.
Another reason is I like the place here because this is the nearest place that gives me an atmosphere of village.
So that day, I had a wonderful breakfast with my mom and aunt, then we took a simple road tour around Balik Pulau.
Of cuz', we bought prawn crackers, a famous souvenirs in Balik Pulau before going home.
This is the first time visiting Balik Pulau this year, and in fact, I visited Balik Pulau four times last year, which is an amazing record for me.

Alright, that's the update and a conclusion for June.
Bye!

Once a Gamer

#513
18th June

It's been half of June and yet I still haven't update my blog.
Duh, I was so worked up on watching lots of playthroughs on Youtube. I'd no longer addicted to Facebook anymore. I think I mentioned the reason before, and it's obvious, that I might not have to chance to play those games since I don't have PS4, Steam account or VR.
Well, I do have PS1 and PS2, and I could reminisce those nostalgic time playing the games whole day long.
Being abided to studies and concerns about future, I'd stopped playing for a long time, and only revive them once recently.

I recognise myself as a gamer and that's what I never talk about in my blog.
You know, I think the games helped me a lot, especially in training my reactions, as well as other aspects. I couldn't imagine my life would be without them, and that my primary school life was almost filled up with those memories, although, it's just 2 hours per day, by parent's rule.
Well, with the development and advancement of the technology, I admit that I had long gone in a while being a gamer.
Somehow, I managed to find a joy through computer games, but mostly puzzle games. You know, I don't know how to buy games, so the only way to access to them is either download or play online free.
It's true that you should not addicted to playing games no matter what, so spending too much time on it can bring effortless results. 
During studies, I almost play computer everyday, and whenever exam draws near, I made hiatus in order not to shift my focus away from studying.
That's somehow very tough to overcome, and yet control is the key. 

Even though I could say that I'm a gamer, but my main target is consoles, not keyboard and mouse.
That's why I didn't play any team-up game such as DOTA, Counter Strike etc. Actually, I did once, but my technics was sucks that I almost give up at that time.
Anyway, there's no guarantee that it won't work in future, maybe I used to playing games by consoles, so it still need time to learn up that much.
Well, I did feel fun that time, since it was the first time playing games in that way, I'm now more and more interested playing PC games in first-person view after watching so much playthroughs.
For most people, they might thought that I'm a bookworm, but not long after some friends discovered my "treasures".
The reaction? It's expected, they were quite shocked, haha! It's totally make a 180 degrees turn for what supposed to be thought. I think that's how "Legends" born right?

It's fun to have the playthroughs watching on Youtube, so I could kill time for the period waiting for entering the university.
Plus, I think I'd improved my English too, a big thanks for the professional gamers when they're providing the commentaries about the games.
So, I suggest you can improve English using my way.

So long for the update.
Bye!!
