Prologue

12-2 am :

Played a couple pub games with Aiman and Lut. Supposedly, I need to sleep early so because tomorrow I need to get up early. But then I found out that, the MYM Pride #8 Grand Finals was gonna start in a few while. Without thinking further, I decided to stay up and watch the matches.

2-6 am:

The first game commenced around 3 something and I watch the stream on GGTV. Sadly enough the game was a reload, the replay was only around 6-7 minutes :(. Little did I know that the match was gonna be very very very very interesting. It was certainly the best match I've watched so far. VP were very imba with their gankings (as always), and they established quite a convincing lead.

By 24th minutes, all off VP already had a blink dagger. And I thought, "Damn... MYM's finished". MYM was having a hard time farming, and not even one of them had blink at that time. The first hero for them to buy a blink was Tiny at around the 27th minute (I think).

Another problem is that MYM picked Dazzle, and he seemed to be feeding like hell, and he's doing all the warding. He never got any real items until very late in the game. But in the end, it turns out that the Dazzle was the crucial factor in MYM's first game win against VP.

Yes, MYM won the first game, to my surprise o_O. Dazzle's ulti ensured that Centaur Warchief, PotM and Tiny had the minimum of gold lost. Even though they died quite a number of times, they died when they got the Shallow Grave buff on them. That three heroes had only like 3 digits of gold lost by the end of the game. wtf.

Centaur in the end farmed up all the necessary items needed to carry the team, so did PotM and Tiny. MYM's damage output during the late game was too much for VP too handle. Even though VP lay the own early game, they never managed to push far into MYM's base, as Dazzle's ulti ensured that the three mentioned heroes revived fast to defend. MYM|Mania's Tiny was quite awesome with his tosses ^_^.

The 2nd game was as intriguing as the first. MYM opted for a fast push strat - with Pugna soloing mid and with Tiny and Leshrac in their lineups - the three of them can get rid of towers fast with their spells. The Nether Ward was quite crucial in the game, as without it, MYM's pushes would almost certainly means fail. By 25th minutes, MYM broke VP mid base tower. They didn't get to break any raxes though. The hero kill score were quite even for both teams.

And then MYM started to lose ground approaching mid game. In an attempt to push Vp's bottom 2nd tier tower, MYM's Pugna seemed like he turned off for a while. VS swapped him before he could get his Nether Ward out, and he was killed. And then, one by one, the rest of MYM were also killed - with Admiration's Sven being the DPSer that did most the damage to MYM. In the end, MYM fast push strat failed as they couldn't push any further because as they tried, VP's Sven wipe them off easily with BKB + GS. That Sven got a couple of DKs and TKs and eventually was Godlike. Though, many would say that Sven was the deciding factor in this game, I do not. Even though, she has been ineffective in recent matches, VP brought back Vengeful Spirit and her initiation with Swap + Stun proved to be crucial in killing the Pugna. gg wp.

6-10 am:

Before I slept, I left a message in my status on ym saying that I slept at 6 and don't wake me up. I also wrote there asking my friends to go buy the BBQ things first before waking me. I slept like a log. But, at 10 am, they were already at my front gate. wtfwtfwtf >_>.

The Journey...

10 am - 12.30 pm

They woke me up at last, and it was very very annoying. Even more annoying because of Betty's loud voice T_T. I asked them to wait and got ready. We then went to NZ and met up with Safiq who's been waiting there for about 1 hour+. rofl. Afterwards, the rest of the boys came to meet us. Next stop was supposed to be Carrefour. But I forgot to bring my BBQ set, so Aiman drove me back to my house to pick it up. We also had to pick up Ghani. Though, we found him at the AU4 vicinity, already halfway walking. We then went to take the BBQ set from my house and then went straight to Carrefour where we bought all the stuff we needed.

12.30 pm - 12.50 pm

We stop at the petrol kiosk to fill up and bought some tidbits for the journey.

En routeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee................. Peace!

12.50 pm onwards

We started our journey. Aiman repeated so many times to the other two who's driving to follow him, because we were going there using a different route. But we got separated because they took the wrong lane. We had to park the car to the side of the road to wait for them. Hamdan turned back and met up with us at 1.18 pm. Pejal took the PLUS highway. We arrived at the border at 2 pm and arrived at the vicinity of PD by half an hour later. And after that, errrrr............. I lost track of the time. lul.

8 guys staring out to the other end...

We arrived at a beach, and reserved a spot. There's 2 goalposts there too :D, to our excitement. We got all our things out from the car and got everything ready for the BBQ. Since Pejal didn't follow the same route as us, he arrived at the beach later. We then started to light up the BBQ. And I was the one that had to made the fire, since everyone else is so lazy >_>. So, we exchanged shift after once in a while - when some went to take a swim, some took care of the BBQ. We had great fun there. We played football for a little bit, but it was quite painful since Nazwan brought a futsal ball, and to play it on the sands was a pretty dumb idea. But all in all, we still had a fun time there, we certainly had great laughs.

zomg! Chickens$#%@!!!!

Zzzzzz.....

7.00 pm - 8.30 pm

After we had clean ourselves up at the showers, we tidy up the BBQ spot and kept all our belongings back in the car. Since it was dusk, me and Aiman went to the beach for one last time and took several pictures. After all of us were ready, we took off. But, we then had to stopped at a night market because Betty wanted to buy something for his mom. Haizzz. We got out for a while, and a few minutes later, me, Lut, Aiman, and Safiq got back in our car. We still had to wait for a while before Betty finally finished buying, or whatever he was doing. Then we head of again. All of us this time used the PLUS highway, as it would be the safer option to go back home at night.

8.30 pm onwards

Face of the year hands down.. wtf Acap... -_-

I slept during the journey back, but was woken up by Aiman and Safiq. The guys stopped at an R&R. wtf -_-. I stayed in the car while the rest when for a quick drink. We carried on our journey back after they had finished. I re-slept again during the whole journey and woke up when we arrived in the vicinity of AU4, just before we reached Lut's. Aiman dropped Lut at his house, then Safiq and finally me. The time was prolly 10.30 pm or something, couldn't recall. Man was I exhausted. I thought I would have slept upon arriving home, but that was never the case. I was caught up with a few things, and only slept around 3 am. gg.
