Queen of The Nerds' Holiday Part 1: Pontianak

Some of you may have noticed my sudden absence from the 28th Nov - 2nd Dec, and some of you may be too busy killing virtual gunners and snipers on COD. The reason for this, if you care to know, is because I was back in Pontianak. But before we plunge into the excruciating details, let us recap what happened before I was whisked away from Kuching.

After what seemed like decades of paper after paper, Lodge School has graciously rewarded its hard-working A level Students - with more classes. For three days, some of us had to drag our beaten bodies out of bed and into the classroom to do this

Mum: Sandra, I think I decided that we all should go to Ponti tomorrow. What you think lah?
Me: Zzz...what? when? why?
Mum: 'Cause you're doing nothing here, might as well follow us. We leave tomorrow morning, yah?
Me: Zzzzzzz.......................
Mum: I'll take that as a yes.

Other than the basic things I need to do to keep alive - eating and shopping - the most interesting thing I did worth mentioning here is shopping for air rifles - although most of them are more like machine guns - and testing them out on our homemade shooting ground above our flat. Fun.


























So far we've owned two rifles, one of them a sniper, and to handguns, one of which is semi-auto. Very cool.
The first thing they teach you about handling a gun is to never look down its barrel, something I have to put much effort into...
