You should believe by now that I never get enough of L4D.

Per my Twitter, every few tweets I mentioned about L4D-ing.

I am damn hooked! Not kidding, I am like thinking of it everytime, I think it can be on par on how much I think of Jason everyday. LOL!

Since it has been long that I love to do something consistently, this game definitely worth a single post here.

From L4D…….

TO

L4D2

For people who don’t know and know nuts about Lan Game (Not that I know a lot, I only know how to play CounterStrike and L4D), L4D is a cooperative shooter survival horror game. Mark the word : Cooperative.

Cooperative to me is teamwork (my head is screaming about how much teamwork is being taught and meant to us back in the good old airline days). 

To me, what makes up a good teamwork is to have/ be:

1) Good Communication Skill among teammates. In this case of playing L4D, this can be carry out more effectively if the person is beside you, like friends playing together in a Lan Shop. Most of the time if I got infected by the zombies and need help, I will call for it! So most of the time when I am in a lan shop with Jason, you will hear me crying: ” Dear,  救我 !!! “ And when he wants me to follow him and walk, he will say:  “Dear, 走这边, 走那边” LOL. But, if you are playing with people whom you don’t know, it might be hard because you need to think of the shortest sentence to type if you want to communicate as most of the time you will be busy! 

2) Don’t think like an individual. That is not to be selfish! Sometimes if you want to ‘chiong’ too fast infront without waiting for your teammates, you will end up getting a Jockey riding on you or a Hunter pouncing on you without help because you are too far ahead! Vice-versa, if your teammates need help behind and you are too far away, the chances that they can survive is lesser. Therefore, “stick together team” is very important!

3) Willing to share information and knowledge. Just like Jason knows better than Owen and me in regards to the road to walk, the usage and the location of the Melee Weapons and guns, he will always tell/ remind us. Once again, that is provided that we all play together in a Lan Shop. However, if we take turn to play at home, he will activate his ‘naggy-self’ and preach about how you should play and where you should walk when he observe you from behind. Pretty irritating at times but I love his helpfulness. LOL! =p

If you ask me, I prefer to play in Lan Shop as we can play together as a team. Playing at home is good as well as it served as a good training ground and not so much of noise distraction. However, I still love the interactivity that you and your friends shared when in a Lan Shop. I still remember I will chid Owen whenever he do something idiotic in the game like he walks too fast or he startled the witch or he activated the horde of Zombies. I haven’t have the chance to play L4D2 with him together yet but he did completed all the campaigns together with me in L4D1. Nevertheless, he will always find chance to play at Jason’s place one la, even in the midst of their work!

Cast of L4D2

 Nick, Rochelle, Coach and Ellis

Yeah, I always use Rochelle just like during L4D1 that I am always on Zoey. Actually, the characters are not much different, it doesn’t mean whoever is better or stronger than another.

There are a total of 5 campaigns:

 Dead Center, Hard Rain, Dark Carnival, Swamp Fever, The Parish.

Not very proud to say, I have only completed 2 campaigns so far – Dark Carnival and The Parish. HAHA! I did play the other campaigns but didn’t finish them. Both Dark Carnival and The Parish are completed in the Lan Shop. I particularly like the Dark Carnival because it happens in an amusement park. You can see clowns, roller coaster and bumper cars! I love the last stage where you have to set the stage light, play the fireworks and on the music!

” Dark Carnival”

As for The Parish, the finale is one of a harder kind. Last Saturday in Lan Shop, Jason & I played with some others from the server and all of us took more than one and a half hour to clear it. We were dead many many times. Even when it was completed, it was only Jason who survived in the end. The rest of us were all dead! From there, it boils down to teamwork again. It is really hard to communicate with others whom are not physically together with us; unless you use a headset and talk to each other!

Finale Scene in the ” The Parish”

New Special Infected Characters in L4D2

Apart from the usual gang: Smoker, Hunter, Boomer, Witch and the invincible Tank, there are 3 members that gave you pain – in – the – ass feeling all the time when you meet them were added to the family.

1) The Charger - Knocks down survivors and is capable of picking up a survivor and smashing him/her into the ground which only another survivor can free him/her from. The Charger is much tougher than the other Special Infected (besides the Witch and Tank) and I think it resembles Tank abit, thus I name it the Mini Tank! HaHa!

2) The Spitter - Designed to spit at survivors with acid and poison. The damage inflicted will deal damage over a period of time. I particularly HATE the Spitter because my health will decrease tremendously if I gotten the acid. It can make me die really fast! Or was it only me? LOL!

3) The Jockey - A kind of crazed infected that has the ability to control survivors into dangerous situations and move you further away from your teammates. He is pretty irritating when he ride on my back because I lost the ability to control my movement!

Oh ya, and the Witch!! Now, they not only sit and cry on the ground, they move around before getting spooked! It is a more ‘improved version’ as they wander among the zombies, just try to be more alert and not startle them if you have been warned of their existence. Jason told me that you can use an axe/ chainsaw to kill them almost instantly and a shot gun is the best weapon in killing them. I actually quite like the crying and moaning sound of the Witch, it sounded very much alike to a human crying, very very sadly and scary!

Actually, all the sound from the spawns sounded so disgusting and scary! Some are like vomiting, screeching, yelling and hissing. Make my hairs stand at times!

New Added Feature – Melee Weapons

In L4D1, the secondary weapon for the character is a pistol. It is either you can have one or two pistols whenever you feel like alternating it between your primary weapon. Here in L4D2, you can change your secondary pistol to Melee Weapons.

However, if you are incapacitated with only a melee weapon, you magically pull out a pistol while you are on the ground, so you ALWAYS have a pistol.

And amazingly, Melee Weapons are good for me to use at times! Especially when there is a ‘Incoming Attack’.
 

1 – Axe (My second favourite, it works well !)
2 – Guitar (Hmm, LOL !)
3 – Katana Sword & Machete (My favourite! Can really killllll !!)
4 – Crowbar (Haven’t got the chance to use)
5 – Chainsaw (Good to use but it is electric operated)
6 – Frying Pan (Eh.. not really good to use but it is so WTH and funny la~!!)

Some of the melee weapons are dumb… like a guitar and frying pan? But whatever, still fun!

My Overall Review of the Game

I love this sequel better. The main attractions to me are the new levels, more immersive combat (having an infected jump on your head and start gnawing it is truly agitating) and of course, even more lashings of blood. Slicing and dicing your way through the hordes of zombies is great fun, especially when you get up close for some macro mincing, and the limbs start flying! Shiokness! The new zombies are fun and frightening too.

But the new horde events are hellish. If you did not make it a point to stop them then there is no end to the zombies, just kept coming. Sometimes when it gets too chaotic, I will just forget it and run for my live!

Though I have yet to complete Dead Center, Swamp Fever and Hard Rain, I am fairly satisfied with the other 2 campaigns that I had completed. I might just blog about L4D2 again once I have completed the other campaigns and tried other modes. This post here is very general and there are still hell loads of things to mention about L4D2.

There are still Versus and Scavange mode that I have yet to play with. Seen Jason played as the spawns before in Versus mode, very interesting. I will try it soon but let me clear and get familiar with the campaigns first. Swamp Fever and Hard Rain seem awesome though! I had tried some of the chapters, challenging! 

So far, L4D2 is really a fuckton of fun. More campaigns, more gameplay modes, more enemies, more variety in both your weapons and your enemies, more story, more well-rounded characters! If you love gore, thrill, zombies and bloody scenes like me, you have got to try this game!

 To end this post, found some funny photos of the game.

Cartoon Characters

Spitter & Witch (both suddenly became so chio!)

HaHa, Look at the Boomer & Spitter on the top left hand side, holding hands.

 Boomer. Actually the Boomer in the game is also quite cute because he is so fat that the way he walk is funny, and the burping/ vomitting sound he made is hilarious more to scary!

LOL! Ellis is saying about one of the scene in one of the chapter in “Dark Carnival” !

Nick having blind date with the Witch and her forte is really crying sadly!!

HAHAHA Ellis riding on Jockey instead of another way round~

Spitter saying herself dead sexy. -_-”

Infected Characters saying Merry X’MAS !!!

Back to work, back to reality.

I HATE IT!

It is proven that good times are over fast and hard time are slower. 2 weeks of a slacker life is indeed shiok to the max!

Basically what I do everyday was to sleep alot, game alot and with Jason alot. I haven’t been home to sleep since don’t know when! I sleep at almost break dawn everyday and only wakes up in mid-afternoon.

What an unhealthy life!

Can’t really recall what I did last week from Mon to Wed. I think I didn’t go out at all? Too engross in playing games and watching  宫心计 at Jason’s place.

26th November, Thursday

Public Holiday Eve.

Karin and the rest asked to join them at new club, Shanghai Dolly, which is operated by St James Holding. This new place is at Clarke Quay.

Decided to give it a try since it is the opening day and Queen Band shifted to play there from then onwards.

First impression when I see the outerior: Wah, super Chee-Na feel. But at least the pinky-furnished design did attract my attention when my cab zoomed past.

First impression when I went in: Wah, am I in a Casino? LOL. Actually, the place is quite spacious. I particularly love the sofa and all facing the stage.

Somehow I guess correctly what I will be doing for the whole night before I went in. That is my butt glued to the seat, yeah.

I am fine with Mandopop actually since I am always in DF. I just think that I am not used to the environment and people.

Anyway, some peektures!

Char Kim Kim! One of the reason why I am there is because of her too. Sooo long never club with her!

Johnson. A new singer in SHD.

Wuming. Shouldn’t you be in DF??!!

Bored until ~~~~~ I self-pic. HEE

Tommy. Much missed by someone after not seeing him for long. =X

Kim and I went off at 3am and shared cab together since I am going to Bedok. Jason never go out and was at home playing game with Owen. Joined Owen for Dynasty Warriors and we played till almost 6am. Jason went to bed in another room because he is too tired I think. Drove his car and sent Owen home and had a chat over breakfast. Reached home at around 7 plus and I couldn’t sleep again! L4D2 until almost 9plus then to bed. Gosh, can see what kind of lifestyle I am leading??

27th November, Friday

Woke up had lunch with Jason. We watched TV awhile and for the rest of the time, he is L4D2-ing and I am lazing around. Until my turn to L4D2 during the late evening. We should have 2 computers at home so that we can play together! He do have one at his living room but I think it is not compatible to play L4D2.

Ms Toh asked for DF. I agreed since I haven’t been clubbing in DF with this girl for long.

Went to fetch her and we went to Mr Bean for girlie session first.

While on the way… ( I seriously look bah-bah here!!!)

Miss Toh ‘Act Young’ photo. LOL!

It is Elynda’s birthday as well and I have some photos with her! Jessie, Naomi and Ruby in this photo! It has been sometime since I last saw them. Especially Naomi lor!

Sherlynn!

Jason came shortly!

Owen! (like finally wear the jacket we bought for him..haha!)

28th November, Saturday

I didn’t sleep much. Not very tired despite having a drink too much the previous night. After having KFC as lunch, I lied on the bed again and watch TV. Jason said to go out and walk walk today. I complied because I like to go out with him, even if it is just to the nearest place from his house.

We went Bugis in the end. Bought my necessities and shop around. Nothing interesting caught my eyes. Maybe I am not in the shopping mood. Jason wanted to buy PS3 games but did not in the end because we didn’t really know what to buy. LOL. We even went Sim Lim Square to look around.

Settled at Swensen for dinner and decided to go for L4D2 at parklane. I didn’t know that the lan shop can be that full house on Saturdays! We went to Home Ground at Princep Street, the one that we went before for 2 times and it was full house. We went to many others along that stretch and also at Paradiz Centre but all FULL HOUSE!

No choice, we went back to Home Ground and they put us on a waiting list. While waiting, we went to Mr Bean for coffee. Finally we were been called within an hour and happily, we L4D2 till 3.30am! A straight 5.5 hours! My eyes are going to be blind soon. LOL!

After that, wanted to eat Roti Prata at Chai Chee but it was closed. Back home at around 4plus and we furthered our gaming marathon by playing PS3 Dynasty Warriors! We cleared Zhao Yun’s story and now I am using XiaoHou Dun and Dear is using TaiShi Chi, whom he had secretly trained in Free Mode to Level 9 when I was sleeping the nights before!

7am to bed.

29th November, Sunday

I think gaming can suck your energy pretty lots. I was so tired that I woke up at only 3.30pm and still feeling super lethargic. ARGH.

Watched TV and prepare to go for Owen’s place for

TEPPANYAKI WITH STEAMBOAT!

What excites me was he bought Cheese HotDog this time round. (the previous time at Jason’s place, he can’t find the cheese hotdogs in GIANT that we both liked. =( )

Jason, Elvin, Marcus, Owen, Jac and Me.

6 people with so much food that we can’t finish. Awesomely good dinner! Love the chicken, sotongs, fish and soup!!

I slept really early last night because I know I am resuming work today! I knocked out at 12am after seeing Dear L4D2-ing. I loveee to lie down on his bed and watch him play from behind. HOHO. This precious of mine played his games almost the whole night (without me, sobs). Half awake in the middle of the night, I saw him play PS3. Another moment when I woke up for toilet break, I saw him L4D. I think he only sleep in with me at 5am.

That is about my long weekend.

A good one!

Anyway, FM just texted me about Louis pre-birthday celebration at Clarke Quay tonight. Too bad that I can’t join because it is working day for me.

But I will be attending his actual birthday celebration this Saturday at Le Bar.

I love birthday celebrations and looking forward for all the joyous upcoming occasions in December.

Christmas, New Year, Jason’s birthday.

ALL IN ONE MONTH!

Last Saturday was a day that Jason and I barely made it. It was my first time throughout the 6 months relationship to call off the love.

It was also the day when I gave my most sincere pour out to him. I thought that we can just forgo each other easily but I underestimated the bond in between us.

When my heart was fighting between a ‘yes’ &  a ‘no’ fiercely, the sentence  “I really do love you” displayed in my phone came in as an enlightenment.

 I capitulated.

It is just this one sentence that I think I should give my decision a thought. Nobody will know how strong that sentence was; unless you know Jason well in person.

And so, we didn’t really want to forsake this relationship.

We came by not easy. We had the most abnormal roller coaster relationship. I am amazed by the strength that we had for each other to keep this relationship ongoing even of the hiccups we encountered. I didn’t give up on him all these while even the silliest thing on earth happened.

I know there are many times he can make his choice to choose and leave because I see that the grass on the other side is greener.

BUT

He still choose to make me stay with him, and he with me.

I appreciate all the promises that he had upkeep so far, as well as the after efforts being put in. 

As what I have mentioned to him before, it is a new start of our promising relationship with just each other in our hearts.

After the obstacles that we had stormed through, we appreciated each other more, this I believe. 

From today onwards, without any glitches, with the love that he have for me, the passion I have for him, I will smile and walk this path of love, free-heartedly and hand in hand together with him.

I will learn to love you, my imperfect boyfriend perfectly.

p/s: On the other hand, last week, there was also a day that I dropped something and shall not pick it up again. I told myself that since I have lost it, I shouldn’t be finding it anymore. It is high time that I wake up and I am glad that I did at this present moment.

Last Friday was Daegan’s birthday. We went to Le Bar before heading down to DF!

Before that, Owen & Dear prepared steamboat at home and we had a rush but good dinner.

The night before, I had MJ session with FM, Kesper, Louis, Ivy+ JW at FM’s house. All the way till wee morning and I went home to sleep before going back to Jason’s place.

We had a total of 4 rounds of MJ and the morning ended with breakfast, Kes’s treat because he is the big winner!

Daegan’s birthday party @ Le Bar, 20th November

What a cute birthday cake, a hamburger! LOL!

The Sweetest Couple

HAHA I like this photo. =)

Brothers!

Champagne Popping!

Brenden, Jason, Daegan & Elvin

We went to DF at 3-ish and I was really slightly tipsy after rounds of drinks. My luck sucks when playing games.

Saw many friends in DF and was practically running around.

Gina saw me and grab me for a photo. =)

Fei.

Gina’s friend

That is all for the night!

I almost vomited but I endured! I confess I am not really a good drinker nowadays, maybe I don’t club and drink as frequent as last time.

Let me be random with 2 added photos found in my handphone ;

This was taken one of the days in DF

At Jason’s place before heading out one of the Friday to meet the girlies.

And now, I am kinda bored. Well, not actually because there are many things for me to do at home. Playing either PS3 or L4D2 is my good way of killing time now. I am on long leave till 30th Nov, therefore I “rot” alot at Jason’s place these days!

He is out now playing soccer and I think I should do something else first before continuing to play my games.

I went snapping around his room. HAHA, not camwhoring myself because I am freaking ugly now. I took photos of his new added loves to his room.

Entertainment Corner No. 1 - New TV he bought (32″). Alongside is his PS3 that he bought last week. Below the TV is a new DVD player that he bought weeks ago after getting his TV. He sounded very nice by saying the DVD player is for me because he knows I always watch DVD. Okie la, I try to somehow believe la, LOL!  He ranted that he shouldn’t have bought the DVD player if he knows he is going to buy PS3 because PS3 can play DVDs too! No choice, too bad, too late! LOL!

Entertainment Corner No. 2 - His computer because I use it to play L4D2. Beside his com is my laptop but I always use the laptop on the bed because I got lazy bones, not too much on his table.

Entertainment Corner No. 3 - His big BED that can sleep at least 4 person I think. LOL! I can sleep/ laze the whole day comfortably. =)

His only 2 PS3 games at the moment. Winning Eleven 2010 for himself and Dynasty Warriors is for me!

L4D 2!! Quite hard to play I feel, gives me headache. The zombies increase and also they seems like moving faster eh?

Jason’s new LV sling bag. Not exactly new lah, he had this for around 1 month plus already. Olivia helped him to get in Paris through her crew mate.  She got it for him at $1180 instead of the usual price, $1280. Although only $100 difference but still it is a saving! Thanks to Oli!

This is ME now, in my leopard’s print cotton on boxer and oversize T-shirt. Don’t look at the face, it sucks. My damn dark eye rings and pimples infested face!

Sheesh, I am hungry now. I shall await for supper and for Jason to be back first. Should I order something? Or should we go out to eat? Or should I ask him to buy something back?

Damn, I shouldn’t even be thinking about the ‘ SHOULD I’ because …………………………..

supper makes me fat!!

BUT WHO CARES NOW?

A HUNGRY MAN IS AN ANGRY MAN.

LOL!

I am on a L4D craze recently.

I have been longing to play this online game for a long time and finally did so on a Sunday night last week!

We were actually chilling at Mr Bean and I happened to walk past ‘Home Ground’ lan shop and told Jason.

We decided to try it out and got hooked.

From Sunday to Tuesday, I have been playing it too much!

Tuesday was crazy, I played for straight 6 hours!

I am always fascinated by zombies. I love to watch zombies type of movies and this definetly is my type of game. Killing the zombies brought me a great sense of satisfaction. Sadist I may sound but it is true. LOL!

Casts of the game. Needless to say, I always chose Zoey as my character, the only female in the game.

I completed all the campaign in 3 days. The first day we totally suck at it. Kept on got ‘rape’ by the zombies and stuck in the finale. The second day we completed 1 campaign and the 3rd day, we completed all! No choice, we are all newbies la. HAHA.

I personally like it even more than CounterStrike. And now L4D 2 is out. We have yet to try but Jason just bought the game online, along with PS3. He spent a total of $600 for everything to be delieverd to him. Right, now we have new hobby to do at home!

Apart from constantly playing L4D, the activities for the past week included the following, apart from sleeping, eating and rotting alot at home. LOL

14th November, Saturday

Jason came to fetch me and we went to his soccer friend’s birthday party at Capella, Sentosa. You can call me a mountain turtle but I have to admit that I am charmed by the Villa there! It is just soooo goddddddd damnnnnnn nice!!!

Before that, we had buffet dinner in the ballroom.

Nice dining table setting

Dennis, Amos, Brenden, James (bdae boy), Daegan, Elvin & Owen

Afterwhich, the buggy ride took us to the Villa.

Some photos taken from Facebook, tagged by Pauline and Elvin.

The many pairs of shoes dictate how many people were present

And the interior and exterior of the Villa.. (courtesy of Pauline)

I soooo want to jump into the pool !!

For me, I have nothing much to do except for lazing around near the pool side sofa and chatting with people.  

WAG ( A term used to describe the wife and girlfriend’s of soccer players. LOL)

Daegan, Elvin, Jason & Owen

Gambling Den

Don’t know when I got snapped!

My Love!

And…

We EAT AGAIN! Steamboat+Teppanyaki

The Guys took turn to play PS3

BeeDae Cake in US Dollars! LOL~

Birthday boy cutting cake!

The guys present for the night

We ended the night at DF. =D

I have many distractions while doing up this post and it took me 2 days to finish it! It is already 6.30am and I am going to bed after a night of game with Jason. Dynasty Warriors is still my favourite game after years and it was my first time playing it on PS3. Have to thanks dear for buying this game for me. *smoochies*

Shall blog again real soon!

Night World!

Is to catch a much awaited movie with 8 other random people.

Out of which includes BFFs Karin Toh & Kimmy Char.

7.15 pm later at Cineleisure. Say hello if you run into us. HAHA!

Miss Karin Toh, please do not eat fried chicken beside me when watching this show, I am sure you will be ditch into that little creepy corner seat right at the far end of the cinema, all by yourself. MUHAHAHAHA

Will be heading back to Jason’s place after that to have dinner with him.

Couldn’t really bear to abandon dear boyfriend for long because I do care for his well-being if I am not around.

Speaking of which, I have not been home to sleep since last week.

=p

And what the hell! I am suffering from slight flu now that I am sneezing nonstop with free flow mucus.

=(

I am dozing off, it’s coffee time!!

p/s: We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Met up with BFFs last night.

At a location which I wouldn’t want to imagine I am at if let’s say I am home

Tampines Mall!

I used to complain pretty much about my good friends who all reside in the East and sometimes meeting up is quite a hassle because I will usually whine and demand that I won’t go any further than Central. HAHA.

And now, I am such a frequent traveller to Tampines Mall, resorting Kim calling me Tampines-Bu. (wah, this name super LC + lian lor)

So, it is not a bad idea to find a boyfriend who stays far from you, as long as there is one added point that he stays near to your BFFs!

Okie, so I really don’t know when was the last time 4 of us meet up together. I think it was during my birthday?

Had dinner at Kim Gary! My first time there. The food is not too bad!

Our food (lazy me steal this picture from Miss Vivi’s webby! =p)

After our dinner, we wanted to go chill at Starbucks/ Coffeebean but there were too many people. We ended up chilling at Hans. Not a very good choice for chilling but we don’t have much alternatives!

Taken from Miss Vivi’s camera :

Her $4.50 rootbeer float. Toh & I had coffee-float which look the same. I think their cup can look better! This look like those cup that is from Kopitiam.

Vivian & Kim!

Me & Karin

Taken using my camera:

We had a good bitching session. HAHA, not speaking ill of people lah but some hard facts that were discussed on certain people.

Jason came to fetch me at around 12am. Went home and watched TV plus Tweet alittle bit with Vivian and Karin before I call it a day.

Today is boring Monday again. Pain ass that we have to wait for 5 days for the next weekend.

Overall I love BFFs session like this. Can we have more?!

Side track abit off the topic. I think I might as well post the rest of the photos in the same post.

Saturday, we went to Brenden’s birthday celebration at Melody Pub. Before that, Jason and I had late night dinner at a more atas Burger King in Clarke Quay, Whopper Bar!

Couldn’t decide what to eat at first after walking along the stretch of Clarke Quay. I suggested this place because it is easy la, didn’t want to spend too much time to look for other food. Moreover, I was drawn to the pretty layout of the restaurant.

I had my usual favourite from Burger King, Mushroom Swiss Meal and Jason had the Turkey and Bacon Burger Meal. I particularly love mine because the burger taste better with crunchy firm burger bread and good portion of mushroom. Jason didn’t like his burger too much because he said that it was a tad too drying. The burger is hot too because I think they make each burger on the spot after ordering. Not like the usual fast food restaurant whereby they will make some and leave it there even before the order comes.

It was quite worth it although the price is $3-$4 more expensive than the common Burger King.

Left to Melody after dinner and it is

Happy Birthday Brenden!

Brenden and Isabelle. (Very random and sudden, I was the matchmaker, LOL)

Jason & I

For the whole night, we sat there listening to people singing. Mostly from birthday boy and friends. I drank alittle bit, got entertained by Jason’s rubber band trick and also chatted with Owen for quite awhile.

To Dragonfly after that.

Jac came down and meet us

Saw a few friends:

Silver. Whats with her pose? HAHA

Us with Silver and Crystal

Poor Wuming!

Kaixun & Yoga

p/s: Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’

So, what is your kind of love?
