Pokémon Update
Supposed to be meeting Ahkiat at 4.30 PM, but I have yet to even start preparing. I thought I should blog because I haven't wrote a substantial post in quite a while, so here I am.
I realise that whenever I am happy, it's hard for me to write because nothing comes out eloquently, and all this space that happiness takes up leaves none for inspiration. Yesterday I mentioned this to Theo and he said that as long as I write something, anything at all, it would be good enough. So here I am writing.
I was playing Pokémon Crystal just now, and in preparation for the one and only battle with Suicune, I went to buy 60 Great Balls. My brother took over and helped me play the game for a while and in the end, he used only 4 of the aforementioned Great Balls and managed to get Suicune to stay in. Now, with so many left, I'm just going to start using all these Great Balls to catch other random Pokémon. Eternally thankful to my brother for helping me catch Suicune.
At yesterday's class "chalet", I went with Dynn, Michelle, Davin and Aravin to buy alcohol. We took a bus over to Holiday Inn to get the booze (apparently, it costs way less over there) and while the others were choosing their liquor, Aravin and I sat outside and talked Pokémon. I don't know how/why, but he's incredibly lucky: he once got a shiny Raikou, a shiny starter and a whole bunch of other common shiny Pokémon. He didn't get all these in the same game, but still, to have encountered so many shiny Pokémon in his Pokémon gaming career is an amazing feat. Besides the usual red Gyrados one always sees in the Gen II games, I've only ever had one other shiny Pokémon – a purple Tentacool from Pokémon Sapphire, which is hardly glamorous at all.
The class "chalet" yesterday was kind of fun, but I guess I should write about it maybe later because I really am running late.
