It had originally been my idea to have one last class gathering before results day, and after I mentioned it to Ron, we decided to attempt to plan a cycling trip for today, the second day of the year. As with many plans, the day turned out quite differently from what I had envisioned it to be. Instead of the physical activity that cycling would have provided, I was awoken by Ron's call slightly before 2pm this afternoon informing me that we would instead be engaging in a decidedly un-physical, LAN gaming. So shortly after I met Sean for a Subway Sub, we met the rest at Paradiz Centre for an hour of Left 4 Dead, the game everyone seems to be playing. I think I didn't quite get the game until a while later, so I will probably enjoy it more if I play it for longer next time. After dinner at Hot Tomato Express (at this point there were 10 of my classmates, Ron, Clarence, Elendrus, Sean, Xin Quan, Elden, Wesley, Ryan, Chang Yun and 1), we watched Will Smith's 7 Pounds, which was by no definition a great movie. I'm glad I helped make the decision not to watch it last night when we were trying to make a choice. I've watched all 4 of his latest movies, including Hancock, I Am Legend and The Pursuit Of Happyness, and I've not been particularly impressed by any except for perhaps the latter. I left town for the second night in a row past midnight, and once again I don't have quite as many photos as I would have liked, owing to not being as readily cam-whorey as many others. It was a good, if not short, second day, with possibly an equally enjoyable third on the way.
