Driving chains

Study group at BK yesterday didn’t transpire well. The idea that exams will soon end this very week kills the mood to study – all of us are looking forward for the freedom that awaits at the end of this 10-year schooling journey, though freedom is pretty much relative depending on how you look at it.

For one, we’d leave school as seniors, people looking up to us as I have done with my other seniors. Freedom, probably in the sense that once any of us reach our 18th birthday (mine being the day after Valentine’s! *coughhinthintcough*), we are now absolutely legal to commit any of the previously illegal-by-age things we had wanted to do.

I suspect that feeling will die down as it is like driving. That excitement to be able to drive escalates, then a short while later it dies.

I’m still in that transition.

Shawn snapped like 50 of the same Burger King picture, so god knows what was on his mind while doing that.

After we went back early from BK at 4.30pm, Heng dropped by at my house for a round at my PS2 with the game God of War, while me with my Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on the PC.

At 7.30pm plus we headed off in my Serena to Shawn’s house and dropped by for a short while whilst he finished his food (Shawn’s eldest sis: Wah, SPM doesn’t seem like SPM for you guys ah?), before picking up Andy at his house.

We went to Asia Cafe, and we went around in search of food.

The drinks the four of us ordered.

I ate this really mouth-watering carbonara, melted cheese and cream with basil leaves (assuming they are) and slices of turkey ham. I was hungry at that time so I devoured it, savouring the melting cheese in my tongue as my taste-buds reawakened. Despite the not-so mouth-watering price of RM9 for it, it’s worth it once in a while >_>

Spent another RM4 on the supposedly popular Osaka food Takoyaki, meatballs of some kind layered with..mayonaisse or something, and some other stuffs I do not recognise.

We finally went back; I dropped off Heng and Shawn, then Andy on the other side. Driving back alone at night was a tad bit scary, being inside a huge MPV and all, but yeah, lots of driving experience is needed.

Then spent the entire night till 3am finishing Chain of Memories with cheats, seeing that I’m playing for the storyline while waiting for the emergence of Kingdom Hearts II.

Kingdom Hearts is an amazing piece of game, with voice talents of

– Haley Joel Osment (from The Sixth Sense fame)
– David Gallagher
– David Boreanaz (from Angel, TV series)
– Mandy Moore (singer, to voice Aerith from Final Fantasy VII in Kingdom Hearts as well as Advent Children, wtf)
– Steve Burton (from “Taken”, Steven Spielberg’s critically-acclaimed TV series, and he also provides the English voice of Cloud Strife for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children as well as Kingdom Hearts)
– Lance Bass (from..*NSync, boyband, who provides voice for Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts in the form of voiceless grunts as well as the English voice for the same character in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children)
– and Billy Zane among others, as well as the incorporation of the much-popular Disney movies’ characters and Square Enix’s games.

Among several screenshots I took thanks to the excellent GBA emulator I used.
