Lightning 25: Gluttony Genius

Last months, the Prosperity Burger returns to McDonalds™. The Fallen Genius ask me if I want to follow him searching for it. There are two known "Iron Stomach" in Lightning for The Fallen Genius to choose to go with him, but why should The Fallen Genius ask The Reminder when he has me. Besides, The Fallen Genius wants to go to the karaoke after that. Better choose a member from the Rock-Singing Team, right? (But I still questioned him why he didn't invite The Scandal Boy along. It will be fun.)

Our main target in this city is obviously, the 24 Hours McDonalds Restaurant near the PKNS building. Unfortunately, when we get there, there are almost no parking. Since both of us haven't took our dinner yet, we don't want to wait too long. So, we giving up the Prosper and decided to take our dinner at the mamak stall near the karaoke place, at Warta.

After The Fallen Genius has parked his car inside the building, during we en route to the mamak stall, suddenly I think, how far had The Fallen Genius fall from his geniusity? There was another McDonalds Restaurant nearby here. Why I can't remember it earlier and luckily we are not arrived at the mamak stall yet? (WARNING: "geniusity" is not even a word, don't use it in English lesson, but nothing can replace it here)

Then we go to the nearly-closed 12 Hours McDonalds Restaurant, we did get our Prosper (yiehaa!) and we talk about life while eating. We talk about our destiny in this world and how our death and mate have already been written, and I still argue if we could still change it by any means. After that, we went straight to the karaoke place. The Fallen Genius can't sing all out, because he was full (and fool also, which singer would sing after eating?). I forced my voice all out, I was lucky I didn't puke here.

The Worst Lightning

Some time ago, a "higher authority" (or in real world known as "lecturer") made a statement that our batch of Lightning is the worst Lightning in history. Yeah, THE WORST! Compared to other departments such as Radiation (chemical), Force (mechanical) and Panorama (civil), we are the worst, based on the exam result statistics (I don't know if there is any other statistics). I don't know whether this is true or not, but if we look into our beloved Lightning ourselves, we cannot say that it is totally not true.

I heard this from The Old Timer (wait, is it The Leisure Planmaker... ah, who's care!) who heard it from The Transporter. The Transporter was the one who face to face with the "higher authority" when he made that statement. The "higher authority" said, no one in our batch Lightning ever scored Dean's List since first year and when I say "Lightning" here means 24 + 14 = 38 of us (excluding other races).

After we heard this statement, many people assume that our only hope is The Steady Student and The Calm-Minded Kid (although, of course, they deny it out of low profile). Who can we depend on in The Shards? I don't know. They frequently kept their results secret and always cheating on "Trading Results Mini-Game" (a mini-game played after the results is out) as shown in dialog below:

TRADING RESULTS MINI-GAME

Boyz: How's your result?
Shards: Urmm, you tell me first.
Boyz: Just 3.40. Now, you??
Shards: It's nothing. Not as high as yours... (bla bla bla, and not telling the exact answer until the afterlife)

I admit that our batch of Lightning is a kind of... we could say, urmm... the "enjoy type". We playing badminton and futsal if there is no class tomorrow, we watching movies or go home every weekend, we copy the assignment at last minutes. Its really look like that we had over-enjoyed ourselves and we had pay the price for it. But for me, it is not true. At least, some of us really had tried our best in studies, just it is not our luck. And besides, we were always studying in group together during the study weeks. The last time study week is the most lively study group I had ever attended. We were close towards each other and that's matter.

But, yeah, the last study group was the most happening ever... and so do our results after that. Like we all have already know, the results after that also is the WORST in our own history. So, I can't deny that we really had enjoyed ourselves too much. We need to change!
