Holy Internet Time Dump,Batman!

Thanks to a certain teacher's appalling scheduling skills,my school's SPM trials are after the holidays.Therefore,the Fifth Formers have 1 week of no school to prepare.Most would take this opportunity to revise or organise study groups in order to cover the entire Form 4 and Form 5 syllabus.Some have even offered me a helping hand,to join said study groups given my weaknesses in almost all the subjects.

I spit on that hand.

Tristan Toh is a man of principle.And he has plenty.One of them being not to touch any educational material at all during periods of rest and relaxation.It's the bloody holidays for chrissakes!Lighten up,unbutton your collar,let your hair down,wake up at noon.

And what better way to waste your time than to stare at the computer screen.Better yet,play games WHILE staring at the computer screen!It's double the fun AND you get some exercise too!

A few months back,I found this awesome collection of point and click adventures on Newgrounds.com.Being a sucker for the classic Lucas Arts games back in the day,I was instantly hooked to the dry humour,head scratching puzzles and general weirdness of Reemus's world.It has a talking purple bear,death slugs,giant ants,man eating plants,politicial intrigue,betrayal,and did I say A TALKING PURPLE BEAR?!If you think the Internet is dominated by generic Yahoo Game-types,you're most certainly wrong.The Journeys of Reemus warrants countless playthroughs,just to see the multiple endings and the sheer wit that the creator,Zeebarf incorporated into his work.This series is a definite must play.If you doubt the truth of my words,check out the game's page on Wikipedia.Yes,it has it's own page!In fact,if you're still reading this passage instead of already clicking the links,what the hell is wrong with you?!Isn't the first sentence of this paragraph appealing enough?
