I am supposed to be in UIUC now for the Midwest Games 2009. However, it was canceled at the very last minutes, thanks to the hoo hah by *they shall not be named*. There goes my chance to obtain 3 gold medals in 2 different sports.. LMAO, as if i am going to win even one medal... However, to be really fair, i do see the point of canceling this Midwest Games, despite knowing pretty well the effort that was invested for this games from my peers in UIUC. Here's some summary of what happened that led to the cancellation of the game.. *again, from my knowledge only*
  1. Everyone is damn excited about the game. It is said to be the best Midwest Game ever. *ok, i do agree that if this game were to go on, it will be the best.. just look at how responsive the committee were, and also the official website is a just fantastic*
  2. Out of the sudden, Mr. Swine Flu attacked the world.
  3. Malaysia has its first confirmed swine flu case, and the patient is a student from America.
  4. After the news of the first confirmed case was published in media, The Star reported that the Midwest Game will still go on despite stern warning from sponsors.
  5. When the government knew about it *well, it appeared as one of the headlines in The Star*, Malaysia Student Department(MSD) in Illinois was asked to cancel the game.
  6. MSD told UIUC peeps to postpone the game.
  7. MSD told UIUC, well, the game is now officially canceled.
  8. Everyone unhappy, everyone cried, everyone angry, everyone felt the pain - there goes my money for tickets and etc...
Well, no Midwest Games for me... And thus, i decided to use the long weekend to STUDY! *but oh well, i am still blogging now... LMAO*

Friday

I decided to work at night to earn more money, making me earning about usd 110 this week!! And i really love my work so much, because i was paid to sit there, take pictures, and listen to a talk.. The talk was about "how do you define maturity?" I really love the talk as i guess that is something that has been circulating in my mind for a while. After the talk, it realy gave me very good insights on how to be a mature person but at the same time, maintain the childishness in me... Sounds profound? Well, it is!

And after my Friday shift, i was officially re-employed again by the my boss. To make things sweeter, i am going to have a pay raise this time. However, i might reject the offer if i get a new work position next year. I prefer to work in my room, rather than spending 9 hours a week outside my room. But again, a higher pay now is really tempting me to work... I am cheapo, so i need the money... And it is quite an easy money, although i need to waste some time doing the job.. But anyway, i am glad that i am giving the job offer again.. This re-employment clearly indicates that i am a good worker... Hee hee~

Saturday

Paintball Trip. Ok, this is not the first time me playing paintball. And not the first time using a gun. Played for a few time before in Malaysia, and trained for shooting before in Batu Pahat. So, i am not really excited about this paintball trip actually...

But i was wrong.. The fields in America are 10x more fun than in Malaysia. In fact, the center that i went to in Malaysia only have 4 fields, but the one that i went to in Chicago has like 10-15 fields. And most of them are really really cool...

Again, i managed to kill quite a number of people yesterday.. We played open game, so we basically played with other random people (including those who looked damn pro)... I am happy that i killed quite some of the pro people.. Well, actually i killed them because i cheated.. Instead of killing them upfront, i killed them from the back... Ha ha... I actually walked the whole circle *like an idiot* , and shot them from their back... And yes, they yelled "fuck" everytime i did that.. :)

No pictures for the game, because we were so lazy to take pictures! LMAO..
The wound that i got from being killed by people..
*right in the middle of my chest.. looked like love bite.. LMAO*
As usual, we love group pictures..

p/s: i know this post is really dry.. but i really don't know what to post anymore.. Too emo post will invite a lot of concern emails and calls, too dry post will cause losing readership.. Haiy, really don't know how...
