Risk, Lost and Courtroom Justice

I had my last Physics/Chemistry class yesterday.

But we finished the whole syllabus 2 weeks ago... so Mr. Andy brought the board game Risk, to class.

Board games are cool and they're not childish. For you people who think they are too cool or mature for board games, you're simply too immature and uncool to play it.

Dreaming of world domination? Start playing this if you want to conquer the whole world.

Mr. Andy's girlfriend said, "When it comes to playing this, it's all about the male ego. Conquer conquer conquer..."

Axiomatically, it's a guys kind of game.

See that brown colour continent below the blue one? That's MINE.

By the way, that's Africa.

After an hour of conquering, most of us already conquered a continent. Africa was mine, America was Yean Chu's, Europe was Marcus', Daphne was sharing Asia with Chee Hong, Australia was Chee Hong's too, and South America was Chew's.

When it comes to planning strategies, I've gotta admit that I'm very bad at it. I was good in Chess during primary school, but the skills got rusty now due to lack of practices.

Chee Hong and Chew can go Genting already. Whenever they roll the dices, there's bound to be a 6.

Chee Hong on a killing spree to get Asia.

Yea, he was killing Daphne. Those 2 are so against each other. The cause: Daphne attacked his troops.

The 2 successful, undeatable war lords.

Tell you hor, these 2 are evil. Because there's a route to Africa from Europe and South America, those 2 decided to wipe me off together.

Marcus started by weakening my troops, which were guarding the entrance to my continent. Then Chew killed them all.

Went through another period of depression until I got my continent back.

After I got back my part of the world, I decided to stop attacking. Instead, I supported world peace.

It's flagrant. The 2 remaining forces were Marcus and Chew, craving for more blood baths and power even when it's time to go.

That was yesterday.

Sally Ann and I went to the Pavilion today. Actually we planned to watch a movie in Time Square. Apparently, the movie wasn't in theatres anymore.

But GSC Cinemas in the Pavilion just opened and they are showing that particular movie we wanted to watch. So we walked all the way to the Pavilion.

We got lost and walked in circles in Sg. Wang. I never liked Sg. Wang, because it's so easy to get lost there. All the shops looked the same.

After asking a few people (including a salesgirl who had an iota of prejudice in her eyes), we finally found the bridge to Lot 10 and then proceeded to the Pavilion.

People should love the Pavilion because everyone there is polite. Even the security guards greet you. Waiters too (maybe they saw Sally Ann so... maybe la).

Bought the tickets and went for breakfast in J.Co.

Our breakfast~

Mine was banana, Why Nut (peanut butter filling) and Snow White (sugar topping and cream filling). Sally Ann's was strawberry, tiramisu and Oreology (orea crumbs).

They tasted sinfully delicious, it was like ensconcing in empyrean.

So yea, we gained weight, blood sugar slightly higher.

We shared a cup of Vanilla drink, which we didn't want to drink it 'cause it's sweet (and the donuts are sweet). Sally Ann and I when looking for a beggar around the building.

How could there be beggars in the Pavilion and Starhill?!

We actually gave it to some foreign workers putting tiles on the side walk but the guy said, "No, thank you." And so, RM 10.85 fell into the dustbin.

Watched 'Stardust'.

I love the movie!! Captain Shakespeare was so cute~!!

I actually like Michelle Pfeiffer. She's pretty, ok?

Sally Ann wanted to buy the novel.

This book is RM 160. It's like a children's storybook, full of illustrations. But one of the illustrations was kinda... obscene.

Last Malay tuition for the year and Mr. Sean had something up his sleeves.

We combined classes and started confabulating on the Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat topic. After an hour, Mr. Sean splitted the class into 2.

"Now, Hang Jebat's case of going amok was brought to court," he said.

So we're supposed to be lawyers. The group I'm in was to prove Hang Jebat's innocence.

It was flagrant that the opposing group was at advantage. They support Hang Tuah and they've got a lot of smart dudes there.

Hang Jebat must be happy that we're helping him, even though that case is centuries old.

And yea, we've got a doctor, whom according the Mr. Sean is the famous Chinese phsycian --- Master Seng aka Kepala Pu-Seng (yes, Yu Seng).

We were debating on the point that Hang Jebat was crazy when he killed 700 women. Sheng said Hang Jebat should control his emotions, since he was an imperial guard. Then Master Seng asked, "If the Sultan killed your mother without investigating, what will you do?"

Zi Kang and Philix objected, saying it was out of the topic. But Mr. Sean insisted that Sheng must answer that question (all hail the judge).

We jumped to other points and someone questioned about whether or not Hang Jebat was crazy. They accused Hang Jebat having other motives (taking over the throne and all those you watched in movies).

Jack defended and suddenly brought out the example of the 'killed-your-mom-without-further-investigation'. And the whole class was filled with the killing mother issue.

I need to brush up my Malay, after humiliating myself speaking broken Malay.

Someone please remind me, why did I write 'lawyer' in the ambition column when I was in Secondary 3?

And can someone please tell me why did I put law as one of the 4 alternatives of subjects I should major in tertiary education.
