.. the 3 who parished in the midst of shouts and screams of “HELICOPTER! HELICOPTER!“, “RUN! RUN! RUN! Don’t come back for us! RUN AND GET ON IT!” and “SHIT THEY GOT ME!”

We burst out laughing after a vital shot of adrenaline, when the credits rolled with “In Memory Of…”

Siren was the only one who made it out alive, and we didn’t really blame her for leaving her fallen comrades behind, much. Hahaha.

Left4dead2 was a much celebrated affair last night after a spontaneous effort to find something to do which wouldn’t take too long since the guys need to work this morning, but we still ended up staying out past 2 am.

It was a much better experience cos we were playing team and not versus, where the previous time I pretty much spent my time dying than playing.

AND THE AXE ROCKS BALLS LAH! GIMME A CROWBAR ANYTIME!

I found myself forsaking the pistols and fell in love with the axe. AWESOME (say it Barney style)!

I justified my constant falling off the slopes and edges of buildings to the fact that they chose all the cool looking characters and left the meaty coach to me, and I found myself having troubles walking through the doors.

I insist it is not my poor key navigation skills.

The headphones are there to protect the other users, so they will not hear us scream, squeal, swear, rain threats and lose faith in human race.

So yes, we are supposed to play Texas Hold’em today, but then, with Thai massage in the agenda, followed by dinner, Invictus in the theatres at midnight, and L4D2 thereafter, I think Texas Hold’em would need to take a backseat another day.

I dragged my sorry ass out of home yesterday to have dinner with the group at Bugis Fish & Co. It was kinda funny when we were talking about ANG POWS. Ahem, well ya know?

We later wandered around and it became a night of guns and weapons.

Make me miss the Battlefield 2 days, really.

And the night was wrapped up nicely with How I Met Your Mother, before my insomnia kept me awake, and I started to douse myself with sad and depressing news.

But.

A couple of friends from London will be here tomorrow, and then another group of people from difference places of the world will be here from 18th to 28th (though probably will meet them for a short bit), and the evenings will be much filled with food, food, and more glorious food and exploring places which we have long overlooked since they are keen to do all the touristy things.

You know how ups and downs could co-exist ever so often even within minutes? I was just so looking forward to the Saturday and thought how brilliant it is going to be when I suddenly received news from a work friend that her brother-in-law had passed away suddenly due to heart failure.

Life is indeed unpredictable, as we mourned the fact that what we did, and what we didn’t do, and there will be no 2nd chances to make things right.

Yeap, no regrets, they don’t work. And sometimes, it still needs that bit of courage for us to, well, get out of the comfort zone to do the thing we always wanted to do.
