[Lei] knew this would be a bad idea... But he pushed back all doubts and went on with the decision... He rose up from his deep slumber in the wee hours of the morning (not THAT early anyway) and got ready for his outing... A shower, breakfast and some time @ the com was all he did before he set off for this journey... It was meant to be fruitful, but as [Lei] found out later, it was so not what he had anticipated...
[Lei] was on time... In fact, he was far from on time... He was early... Decided to waste the time away in a useful manner, he went to purchase a cup of steaming hot coffee to drink while he waited for the rest... It was only a few minutes but to [Lei], it seemed to be an eternity... But his friends still turn up nontheless 1 by 1... 1st was [Fyn], followed by [Gen], all the while, the trio was engaging in small talks... @ long last, [Lee] turned up... Though she was late, but still, it was acceptable...
With the 5th friend on his way, the quaret decided to ventur into the shopping complex first to do some sight seeing... However, in no time, the sight seeing turned to some food shopping... All this, as [Lei] watched, turned into some form of fun and laughter for everyone and all of them seemed to forget the true purpose of them meeting up...
[Lee] decided to make [Ray] pay for all of their expenses - for punishment of being late - which amounted to abt $10.20, to be exact... Of course, [Lei], [Fyn], [Gen] and [Lee] all paid $1 as well, so as not to burn a hole in the pocket of poor [Ray], who is turning broke as the clock ticked by...
Once the payment is made, the gang headed towards [Gen]'s house... [Lei] was thinking tt maybe this time, it would be different and tt all of them would not diverage from their main purpose there... Sadly, the comos are always turning things around and as it turned out, the events were not like what [Lei] had wanted it to be like...
The instance all 4 friends entered [Gen] house, [Lei] got onto the gaming and soon, everyone joined in... A game of [Worms 4] was just what is required to distract them... Behold the power of a single DVD disk... It contains enough power to de-stress you and @ the same time, it is also capable of causing grades to plummet straight down like a bag of meat being thrown down from the 30th floor or totally distract you from doing what is right... Technology is indeed a double-edge sword...
[Lee] tried to seize control of the situation there by making all of them do what is right... It was successful for the next 45 mins or so, but once lunch is ready, it was all back to playing... All this continued on till late afternoon when it's time for all of them to return home, not with some work to do...
[Lei], as he returned home, was starving as he had skipped lunch just for gaming... The allure of that gaming console was all that is need to render [Lei] useless... However, the hunger was the least important thing on his mind now... How is he going to account for his incompetency the next day??? When everyone - not to mention [Ray], who [Lei] is currently admiring - meet up the next day to compare notes??? Or [Lee], who is going to literally murder him when he does not do what he must - send his work via e-mail??? Whatever the outcome, [Lei] thought, will work out find... Perhaps, [Lei] though, everything will be okay... There's still sufficient time to get things done... But the million dollar question is: Is [Lei] deciving himself???
