We are incredibly
awful hyper retards..

Sleepovers are fun.

But I thought Reky would blog about it first.

We had a massive sleepover over at Kenneth's house, to celebrate the birthdays of Derek, Nick and Eugene, except that the most sleep anybody got was maybe about 4 hours. So it was more like a -over, without the.. sleep.

Kenneth's house is like Batman's utility belt: it has EVERYTHING. Of course, the only thing any of us cared about was entertaintment! We heated up his Wii, Xbox, pool table and lava lamp. (I swear Derek was trying to break his previous record of 15 mins staring at a lava lamp.) But mostly the Wii and Xbox. Eventually, nighttime came. Since games get boring after a while, we petitioned to see Saw. I mean, watch Saw, the movie.

It was pretty funny. A bunch of guys, each grabbing a couch cushion (and maybe even biting on it), trying to make jokes out of the creepy movie. Even though it was disgustingly eerie, it was also clever. The story is about two guys, Dr Gordon and a voyeur named Adam, stuck in a dilapidated toilet (it was a very low budget movie). Dr Gordon is given a mission through an audio cassette, to kill Adam before the clock on the wall strikes 6, or his wife and daughter will die. Adam is simply tasked to escape. Throughout the movie, they interact and discuss the mastermind behind the entire 'game'. They develop a sort of weird friendship while Dr Gordon refuses to kill Adam.

As the plot progresses, the pair realise that it is the serial murderer Jigsaw that had put them there. And, to add to it, the movie goes as close as to reveal who Jigsaw is and gives the two protaganists hope, even though at the cost of the doctor sawing off his own foot... until the last major plot twist puts them back at square one, and sealing Adam's fate.

For a movie that is constructed almost entirely out of flashbacks, it is cleverly deceptive and very very intellectual. It puts you at a spot to explore, maybe even kicking you in the wrong direction, then suddenly pulls you back all the way again to the real truth.

But I really am digressing. After Saw, we ate a dinner of almost wholly meat, stuff like sausages, beef I think, and other kind of meat. Even the spaghetti had meat in its sauce. (But it was great food, who cares?) The birthday cake was chocolate, which was quite ok, and we had chocolate ice cream! Yea. Overall, dinner was amazing, the night passed uneventfully, maybe except the occasional bursts of paranoia involving Saw.

Entertainment made up the most part of midnight. I actually survived without any sleep, playing Smash Mario Bros and Halo 2 with Peter(ella) and... I forgot. But I knew Arjun was sleeping somewhere behind us on the same couch. Maybe he contributed to my Halo deaths.

The next day was boring to talk about, with the most part of us walking around, half asleep or half awake. Eventually, we packed up and left. Don't scream boring, please... Well, the sleepover had Derek screaming for another one, but hopefully, a planned one, so it was good. I wish for another one too. Thanks Kenneth.

This post had to end some time. So bye.
