Let's start of with a list of how much money I spent during my holidays. 117 dollars on discounted computer games & most of them were crazy deals as such, I did not regretted buying them. Most of expenditures on computer games were actually not games, but downloadable contents for Napoleon Total War & Shogun 2 because I love those two games very much. I'll be spending my money on another game, Rocksmith 2014 which is will be out around late October. I spend 78 dollars Pokemon Platinum which is actually an old Pokemon game but I bought it because I wanted to catch as many Pokemon as I could and I have like around 30 more Pokemon to catch until I complete my non-event pokemon Pokedex. 188 gone due to dental fees as I had 3 stupid cavities. This is because I usually do not brush my teeth. Adding on, 220 out of my wallet because I went for a Metallica concert. It was worth it because it was my first time experience & they are a legendary band. I was generous and treated my sister and my mummy to a day out at a Malaysian Pizza Hut outlet and spend 50 dollars over there. 44 dollars gone thanks to 3 polyclinic visits. I spend 45 dollars on 2 good board games and I wanted Joshya, Muhaimin, Jbrien & myself to split the cost but only Jbrien paid because I was scared to ask Muhaimin and Joshya for money in which they did not agree upon. Lastly 94 gone to miscellaneous stuffs of which are boring to explain to you but they are excluding food & transport.
Breaking Bad was the best series that I've watched over the holidays and season 5 is just pure awesome shit. I have feelings of NO ORDINARY LOVE for Breaking Bad, but rather extra ordinary love! Next would be Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood because it's not so much of the cliché' good versus evil to me but more of tagging along their the brother's journey & there were some funny moments. Third in the list would be Spartacus War Of The Damned because politics was lacking in this season & Spartacus' downfall was predictable. Second last is The Pacific because I just get confused with who's who. Lastly is Alan Parson's The Art & Science of Sound because this is not for entertainment, but educational because it relates to on the modules I will be taking. I have black lagoon & Game Of Thrones in my laptop but I'll watch it when I'm really bored.
I've watched a lot of movies. And I mean a lot, 28 to be precise. Here's the whole list of movies I've watched, flight, preaching to the perverted, glengarry glen ross, all the rocky balboa movies, bittermooon, 21 & over, American Psycho, 120 Days Of Sodom, Life of Pi, Kill List, Ghosts Of Girlfriends Pasts, Murder Set Pieces,Audition, Big, The Green Mile, Hancock, Initial D, Fast & Furious 1, Fast & Furious 4, Fast & Furious 6, Iron Man 3, Martyrs, Irreversible & The Departed.I watched We're The Millers alone in the cinema because I wanted to see Jennifer Aniston in lingerie on the big screen. I also watched The Internship with my sister at the cinemas. I'd recommend Rocky Balboa up to the fourth one, Bitter Moon because it left my emotions fucked after watching it, The Green Mile because it's inspirational & The Departed because of many twists in the story.
The Napoleon Total War campaigns was the best games I played during the holidays. Other games that I've played are Need For Speed Undercover, which I completed around 24 hours because the game was very easy, Red Alert 3, Batman Arkham City which was enjoyable because it was the first time I played this kind of genre, Ridge Racer which was much easier than Need For Speed Undercover, Sim City, a handful of Civilization V campaigns & completed half of grid. It's sad because I have many other games that I have not touched. I also played Pokemon Soul Silver Japanese Version & Pokemon Platinum because I wanted to completed the Pokedex.
One of the reasons I loved these holidays was because I did things that I did not wanted to do & they were downloading more music, swimming, jogging, playing bass, reading Koran, learning how to drive & reading a book. I wanted to read the Koran in because there's this English Koran at home but I preferred the on the net however there's no internet at my Outram home and as such, I only read the first 3 chapters. I prefer swimming to jogging because there's pleasure in each stroke and I keep getting better at my freestyle. After a swim and giving myself a day's rest, I find that I jog faster and I love this. I jog mainly to stay in shape for the upcoming NS NAPFA as I do not want to waste 2 months in Physical Training Phase. So, in total, I swam more than 100 laps & jogged more than 20 km. I also jogged at Mount Faber Park & I reached all the way to top however I walked most of the time. The view was spectacular and this made imagine what's the view like on top of Bukit Timah, the highest natural peak in Singapore. I feel happy after managing to play songs on the bass that I previously wasn't able to & I guess I must really take it slow & easy when it comes to bass. I do not want to learn how to drive but my mother wanted me to and I agreed because she's paying for it. I only read 1 book and that's Intensity by Dean Koontz because one of my friends gave it to me. I do not like reading it because the words were small, chapters were long, & I still did not understand some parts even after the author tried to explained it but the best thing about the book was how the story was resolved giving the readers a sense of satisfaction. By the way, I'm happy because this post is more than a 1000 words long!
There are some other things that I wanted to do by the end of the holidays however I did not achieve it. The first one was to draw my dream house, the second one was to be able to read, write & speak Arabic. Followed by producing music for my portfolio, finish existing r4 games & download exciting r4 games for my Nintendo DS. Lastly, I fail to download photos of cars & making a screen saver for my laptop.
