MAPS Again

Yo! Yep, it's MAPS once again and of course that means lots of fun. In fact, that sentence is totally redundant cause MAPS is probably synonymous to "fun, exciting and adventurous" or something like that.
This time we did wall climbing or more precisely, "bouldering". The difference is in the former, you get a fake wall with places to grab like what you see in movies and the main point is it's TALL, like a wall (duh~), but for bouldering, it's exactly like the name states, it's a man-made boulder.
Nathan and Fungy joined us this time and the whole thing was held at Salvation Army.
Well, if you really try to explain it then basically it's just a bunch of people trying, failing, re-attempting, failing again and embarrassing themselves while stumbling over a 3-faced boulder.... <(=_="<) BUT with the luxury of the right company, even heat-processing ourselves in a 135 degree Celsius atmosphere can be fun.
Note to self: standing under a very big, sphere-shaped bright thing hanging on top of our heads can critically tan your already extremely tanned skin. Take appropriate countermeasures in future occasions.
Oh, by the way. The coolmachoFungy didn't embarrass himself though cause he reached the top by doing some Spiderman-Bugs Bunny sticking and jumping on the wall stint. He and a (I presume to be) very young girl called Diana were the only 2 who made it to the top. So congrats to both of them and "Aren't you humiliated?!" to the rest of us.
We also played a game called I don't really know what but I'll (once again) assume it to be Camelot. It's a different version of dodgeball and it's really fun too! That is, of course, if you negate the cruel fact and horrible reality that we were drying ourselves (such a primitive way of preservation... will this lead to longetivity? Don't get the connection? Ask me.) under a swelling 365 degree sun.
Note to self (2): Big round thing hanging in the sky = hot hot = Evil Spirit. Arm self appropriately for future occurances.
But on a less jovial note, MAPS told us to register ourselves for some YMCA-ODEC thing for our own coveniance and other reasons but I think that's a little discouraging for some of us cause we already have Health Club plus we're in quite a short course so we don't really want to affiliate ourselves to so many things.

PS: Will update with pics later.
PPS: Congrats to everyone who did well for their exams.

ジレンマ

Innocence is truthful right?
Kids are innocent right?
Adults lose their innocence as they grow up right? We all do. There'll come a time when you start thinking "a little white lie won't hurt anybody". There'll be a moment where you're given the choice to lie and make people happy or utter the unmentionable truth and bring everyone an agonizing pain undeserved by them.
Adults aren't innocent. They lost it trying to protect the kids.
Yet why do we trust them? Entrusting our future in their hands, leaving our country... our world for them to govern. Have we lost our minds?
I've mechanics homework and I'm no where near completion. How can you finish if you never start? All it takes is that first step. Isn't everything in life like so? First step, first jump, first word.
Everything is cluttering my head right now. It's a mess. Friday. I think on Thrusday night, I'm going to sleep and never wake up again. Why do they put us through such excruciating dilema. Who was it that first said "O ye' of low IQ, thy life is nothing but trash under a pile of garbish."?
What does exams have to do with a person's worth! I bet all these were tricks set up by the weaker life forms in their hope to con men into leaving behind their babaric pathways and hail the weaklings as king!
My mom wants me to be a bridesmaid to some relative who's marrying. They want me to wear a skirt. Oh wait... they want me to wear a F-ing GOWN!!!! NO! NEVER!!!!! I hope nobody reads this post and decides to say "Wah! Good chance! Gogo! Take photo har?!". I'm referring to a particularly large hamster with long hair which has recently been straightened and is widely known by the name Slur.
All the best for this Friday. Hope none of us will need a lift to Komtar.

Are you insensible, lustful or in love?
I know it has to be one of them. To me, you are in the latter state.
Compared to the first two, you were most like the third.
Forgive my melancholy. I'm in the generation's way.
My friend, are you in agony?
We are surely over thinking. Let's stop this unfair behaviour.
Rush against the storm, I will advance and choose death.
Our love is threatened. Let's prove it together.
At the risk of my life, I will be yours.
