Inactive? nah!

I am eager to update my blog at least three to four times a week, but lately my internet connection has been thinking otherwise. This is just one of the rare opportunities I have at the moment (of being on the net, sadly).
Life after exam is... fun, I guess. I get to do a lot of spontaneous things, like when I have brownies in mind, I will bake a tray or two. When I feel like visiting a friend, I'll do just that. When I have a craving for the gaming arcade, I'll go to one.
I'm starting to have an attachment to fresh flowers. This week, I have pink roses and baby's breath lingering on the top of the chest of drawers in my room. :)
Hee - Here are some events I think are blogworthy.
Last Monday afternoon, I had a meeting (or rather, a get-together) with a friend I recently met at a gaming shop, Sal. He wanted to teach me to play the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game, which I have yet to pick up an interest in, with his friend (who I also turned out to befriend with) Victor. In exchange, he wanted me to give him advice and guidance to holding Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game tournaments, since I used to organise the Pokemon Trading Card Game tournaments, back in the days when the game was a big hit.
Last Wednesday, I had a friend come over to spend the entire afternoon (and ended up staying till 10pm!) with my sister and I at our place. We baked brownies, which turned out really well. We also made
maki (sushi rolls), in which Ponana (a combination of potato and banana, a nickname I concluded for him at the end of the day) produced extra large ones that would fall apart if you attempted to eat it. XP Ween's maki was not rolled together well (she forgot to use the bamboo mat!), while mine, well, I'd say turned out ok (but no one has a say in it since I took it all to myself and shared it with my youngest sister, Eleena, who was busy playing the PS2, minding her own business). I managed to watch a little bit of Sky High, which turned out to be a rather interesting movie indeed, and played a song that I had halfway written out during the week, with him. The last thing we did was have a little bit of something to eat at McD's (which was really close to Ponana's house - he could just walk to it whenever he wanted to!), partly due to the fact that I needed a hot drink badly (I couldn't stop sneezing either!) and Ponana wanted something to eat.
On Thursday however, I had an X-classmate drop by my place for a visit - Rachel! I was glad to see her - she has this tendancy not to tell you in advance that she's back in Kuching for a break (she's currently studying in Australia - and practically lives there). After sending my sister off to her orchestra ensemble practice, we went to chill out at the arcade. The fun had to end though, for Rachel needed to get back to her place by 5.30pm as she had to attend a dinner function with her dad. We enjoyed ourselves pretty much in the arcade, and we planned to work on a little comic or story during her next visit, hopefully next week. :)
The next day, when lunch time arrived, cries of joy could be heard from the form fives as they are done with their big exam (SPM). After lunch, my cousin, Renz, stopped by my place, and he, together with my two sisters, were dragged out by yours truly to the arcade. (I love the arcade, don't I? XD) We all had a go at head-to-head racing, beatmania, and in the end, I couldn't resist playing para-para paradise (a sort-of dancing game that requires you to move your arms/hand/whatever part of the body you want XD towards the 5 different sensors at certain parts of songs). At night, we went to the movies, to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (my second time). Renz caught up with two of his best pals, Dexter and Teo. After the movie, we went to Seattle Coffee and Tea, to enjoy some cake and drinks.
I pretty much managed to keep myself busy, but at the same time, freedom can bore you. Plus, nothing really motivates you to do productive things when your mind is set on holiday. I know my legs are turning into logs, and fats are just accumulating at my waist, and I should really hit the gym, but all those thoughts are currently drifting at the back of my mind. I'll get down to it - someday. :)
I guess that's all for now. I'll blog again when I have the chance! ^___^
