WA5 + Jogging + Chatting + All-nighter + P4 = Epic Rojak (1/2)

This is a recap of SATURDAY. Except for the last part and the second half of the second last segment. The former is connected to no current timeline, while the latter is of today.

I woke quite late. Because I slept at 4 a.m. earlier. What was I doing, don't ask. Is it concerning porn, no. Was I gaming, no.

After taking my bath I practically got a scolding by my mother. For ... some reasons. Then I went moody and curled up in a foetal position and went dreaming off for 2 hours. Later, I picked up my conscience again and started playing WA5 (Wild Arms 5/Wild Arms: The Vth
Vanguard). Nothing much. Just going from Laila Belle to Mithysmere. I kind of like the music now. Especially the track Persephone (Battle) from Vol. 2 of the OST. When The Heart Ignites and the world map theme (kind of a long name) is fairly
catchy. That and you can't forget The Vth Vanguard (the one that plays on the main menu,
with a good dose of whistling in it) and Justice To Believe.

Went jogging in the afternoon. My stamina now allows full 7 laps in a stadium. My warm-up is
just brisk walking for 2 laps first. I managed to overtake my Science tuition teacher and his wife 3 times, and the first time is with brisk walking. However, a regular patron at the stadium (some muscular guy) overtook me like ... more than SIX times even though he is already AHEAD of me.
Well, when I jog, naturally I can outmatch everyone there (middle-aged adults, mostly) thanks
to Mr Mong's training of me. So this is a surprise ... not really. The guy looks much younger
compared to the usual crowd anyway.

I actually planned to do my homework at night, but instead I ended up chatting with 3 people
(Sharon, Kevin, William) till ... 3 a.m., IIRC. I learned a great deal more of Kevin, and I think
he's an awesome buddy. William whom Kevin introduced to me in MSN turned out to be a
schoolmate! I revealed so much of myself to him because I didn't know he's someone I know ...
not like it matters. He said he likes writing too, and his mother is an editor and has contacts from
the publishing field. He read my the first few pages of my first book, and asked if we could 
collaborate. I agreed (duh) since his interest was sincere to be a young writer as well. And he revealed to me that VS' works are rip-offs! Unoriginal! Her upcoming debut novel is going to be
a rip-off of The BFG, and this is not the theory of only us two. Anyway, I told him my TFL
hexalogy will be a self-effort, because it holds HUGE meaning for me. I'm okay with collaborating
on other works though.

I pulled an all-nighter to make my group's History folio look as good as it can. Also I had to finish
Luqman's unfinished work. Plus translate Che Yik's untranslated work. Editting of nearly everyone's work, discarding one of Vincent's
work entirely, and more stuff. All of it made me stay up till 7 a.m. today. Then I finally got to sleep. Till noon, because I have BM tution later. BM
tuition is boring (duh, it's not WL teaching), however I got to do some of my homework from Maths tuition. I allowed myself some sushi after class and bought a manga mag. There's a new
manga - Monster Hunter Orage, by Mashima Hiro (the one who made Fairy Tail, Monster Soul and Rave! I love his works!). It's based on the video game series, Monster Hunter. I only played the first game though. Then somehow Capcom garnered the reception as very good, so made sequels to cash in money. Not a bad series, just not much of my type I guess. If I had more time
off my gaming log, I could try playing the sequels.
