Bloodthirsty Majesty <> Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge

Finally, my keyboard is fixed. 

Last week I watched Pandorum with humans (too lazy to type out names). It wasn't bad, but the whole plot was so predictable from start till end. These days we have too many delusional characters in the showbiz. James was so scared but in the end he called the movie a fail. Oh well. I managed to get myself two black pants for the KL trip to, so coupled with my sole pair at home, that makes 3 pairs of trousers for me.

Everyday was gaming day. Wake up, game, badminton, multiplayer game, sleep, rinse and repeat. I couldn't blog or write or whatever since my keyboard was being defective. I played lots of Mana Khemia 2 (finished Ulrika's story, working on Raze's). I love that scene in Chapter 1 of Raze's story.

Et: "Did you just touch my boobs!?"
Raze: "Oh, sorry."
Lily: "You touched her boobs!? Raze if you like big boobs that much then why don't you go work for her!?"

The scene is somewhere in the middle (around 4:09?), but just watch it through, especially the scene in front with Ulrika's team, which is made of win. I cried in her playthrough when Pepperoni sacrificed himself to allow Ulrika and Raze to escape from Reicher. But yeah, he lives. He isn't Aeris. Eugene said that wasn't a cry-worthy scene. Ugh, but whatever. After I finished Ulrika's story I felt very empty inside since Raze's team isn't as awesome ... In Ulrika's team, every crew member was funny, especially the Pepperoni and Goto pairing. Chloe's creepiness (which rubbed off on me). Enna being bullied all the time.

Ulrika: "But without your machine, you're useless"
Chloe: "Incompetent"
Pepperoni: "Worthless"
Goto: "Disabled"
Enna: "Stop saying anything you want!"

While playing Raze's story I suddenly stopped and resumed playing Namco X Capcom instead. KOS - MOS ftw. Around 6 pm I always play street badminton if the weather permits, then later around 8 Mynci will come over. Our routine usually starts with Obscure: The Aftermath (we stopped playing like June last year). We finally finished the game last night. Well, it wasn't the first game that I finished co-op. Once I finished The Ocean Hunter in the Hock Lee arcade with a random Malay guy. After our daily dose of Obscure we would either be playing Melty Blood: Actress Again (I like using Nrvnqsr Chaos ... not a typo it's a name) or Soul Calibur 3. I suppose after my return from KL we would be working on finishing the first Obscure.

Anyways, today we went to SMK Padawan on a seemingly fun trip at first. However, the trip was so freaking hot! You will see another article on the trip (also by me) in next year's school magazine, but it will be much much brighter and cheerier than this post. Well, it is a school magazine. You can't expect me to reveal my true self. He ... hehehehe .... heh. 

Btw, it's my birthday today! Um ... yeah, it's so boring and nightmarish. But spare that part for later. The trip was an agonizingly long road trip, and unlike the movie College Road Trip that we watched last year in class, there is neither any 'lol' or 'roflcopter' or 'lmao' moments. I didn't bring my DS or my phone so I hoped that the scenery would save me from boredom. Too bad, it was sucky. Even after we went past civilization into the dark green nature, it was so ugly. The non-civilization part was seriously a winding road that I thought would probably never end. There were ups and downs, twists and turns. We even screamed to make it funner. But it didn't help much. Oh yeah, I forgot. While we were still in Tabuan Jaya, a frog leaped into the bus and urinated on the window. Then Ms Vivien grabbed it and flung it out instantly. Whoa. I was sitting with Jordan (Siaw), and in the non-civilization part I was like, "I wonder if our bus will ever crash down the mountains ... hmm, hmmhmm, hmhmhm."

Well, we finally reached the beautiful school and I made my move. I trampled on the grass, poured mild poison into the pond and released a cobra into the grass. We went into their library which was like really colorful and bad for my health. The few opening speeches and annoying braggy Powerpoint presentation urged me to fall asleep and I snored the whole way through. Their principal called Ms Vivien as Ms Amy and then later he said, "I've known her for a long time." If he's our principal, we're in deep doo-doo. So I took out my personal voodoo doll out of my slingbag and started playing with it. Then we walked over to their mess hall where their stage was also located. The way there was roofed a bit too low so I muttered a few curses on whoever built those mini-roofings. 

We had our ice-breakers next. There were two sessions, the first one was kinda boring, so I will skip to the part when Dawn, Nadia and Fira left the group. I took out the latest Cola Mentos and said, "Would you like some Mentos? It's a new flavor - Fermented Squid." They said, "Really?" which I responded with, "No not really."

Then there were Chik's dances which were our  pride and joy. Such vibrant dancing was not good for my poor health so I didn't bother joining in. I did my own sacrificial dance at the back. We went touring next. The students lived in dark dorms. It's perfect since you can hang yourself on the railing outside. The principal seemed seriously insistant on forcefeeding us with the idea that "we live nice comfortable lives compared to them and should papreciate what we have" which I considered repulsive since he talked without knowing anything. I live in a-not-THAT-rural place myself and I come from a dysfunctional family to boot. I call that principal Jerktown #2. Sharon's #1. Then there was this long road to hel- ... I mean the front gate. A truck passed by and it nearly turned some of our school's girls into roadkill. Tch, I seriously wanted some corpses for us to bring back.

We visitted their herb garden after that. The bridge there was infested with red ants. I was so irritated that I grabbed one of them and cut it into three parts - head, thorax, abdomen. Tasty. I recommend red ant platters with a combination of ketchup and mustard. In their herb garden, they grow poisonous plants like cassava. They also have a secret stash of apples in their hidden greenhouse (I blackmailed the principal to tell me this). They extract cyanogenic glycocides from the seeds which can be fatal. They also grow Angel's Trumpets. Our school's prefectorial board should also implement that system. Useless students should have their food mixed with self-grown poison (non-lethal) to teach them a lesson. Hm, hmhmhmhm. *ba-bump* *ba-bump* I would get orgasms just watching them writhe and convulse in pain ... *huff* *huff* My, my face is getting all red! While on the road, we suggested that we all do a jump photo ... and fall to our deaths. Everyone wisely ignored the suggestion. Luqman asked me to hold his bags for him. "For every one minute you make me hold this, one extra curse will be placed on you ..."

Then we had lunch. The food looked horrible so I switched it out with my Mystery Food XXX, along with a voodoo brownie, intestine cookie, and others. No, I actually finished my food (except the fish) unlike most of our people. Anyways we went home later. Super boring. Chik made friends with a guy named Bluetooth. Before we left, he shook my hand. "Hai, saya Wilson. Saya seorang iblis. Saudara akan dikutuk setelah memegang tangan saya :)" Then Yi Yong explained to him that it's my birthday. "I am most negative during my birthday :)" During the journey home, Jordan was already seated with Chung Han so I sat alone at a hot, steamy seat. I fell asleep and knocked my head silly on the window as the bus shakes (many times).

You can read the real report next year. It's dull and boring, but whatever. ANYWAYSSSSSSSSS ................................................................... I hate my father.

F4RkTH3r: Are you effin' home yet!?
Mom: Nearly.
F4RkTH3r: BICH3! Look at the taim!
Mom: Wilson went home at 3 something!

(The above conversation was translated directly from Hakka by aspiring master linguist Williew)

What a bitch! LGI has NEVER EVER explicitly said the word bitch, or any other swear word. At most I use bish, biche or bee. My father just goes around calling my mom a biche for everything wrong in his eyes. I don't even consider him my father, but if I don't say it, no one would understand who I'm talking about. So from now on we should call him Rubbitch. He's pure rubbish, and he's a bitch. He's also a son of a bitch. Sow ~ lee, Rubbitch, but you belong in the ditch. Trust me. So since we were in the car when Rubbitch called, I purposely said lotsa stuff in front of my gossipy driver so he would spread all across town. Among the stuff I said:

"I never considered him my father, not once. If law never existed, I'd run him over with a car, reverse, rinse and repeat till he's all creamy and sweet. Then I'd walk away all guiltless and free like I just won the Nobel Prize for World Peace."

"When he dies, I won't go visit his rag doll body for all I care. All his 'friends' would be there for him anyways. I mean, he easily spends thousands of bills on them and he won't even pay my mom for bringing my sis and I to eat at Sushi King. Wth."

Oh, btw, I did ever call Rubbitch a dog once directly, and in return he killed my poor floor fan. He smashed it aside and I picked up its few bits and pieces. The fan was more humane than Rubbitch is. It protected me. I also told him that I will report to the police once, he threw a chair at me, which hit a table and broke it. Crazy. Once Mynci was gaming with me, my mother opened the fridge door a bit too loudly and he chased her all the way into our room and kicked open a hole in the door. Wtf.

People today ask me what I want. The one and only thing on my wishlist is a normal family. Well, my family is pretty much normal already, just kick out Rubbitch. Go die or something, old fart? I don't believe in god. Or karma. Otherwise Rubbitch would have been long in the dumpster ... no need burying/cremating him. It's not like I'd ever visit his resting place anyways.

Of course ... you guys can always get me a Shibuya Nobody (that's like 1, 000, 000 Gold +) on Gaia Online or a PS3 irl. Ask Chik and Sharon what GO is. I'm lazy. I went to my 'birthday dinner' just now, which was uber tense and I just wanted to scram ASAP. He didn't have to bring me out if he doesn't want to. Rubbitch.

... I love reading Deadman Wonderland and Sket Dance.

And Then There Were Plenty ...

... Agatha Christie. 

Why am I able to wake up this early!? Durh-hur-hur, it's the deep effect that the ability to game again has on my body and soul. I don't even need anyone to wake me up anymore. This is to ensure that my gaming time is completely maximized, so ... it's really helpful. It won't work tomorrow, my body knows I don't look forward to school. *flips fringe* So, this morning I actually made some effort to blog, unlike yesterday. Hrmph.

Mr Linus's session with us was fun. But of all manga/anime series to like, why Naruto!? Though I must admit, it's the most easily recognized by any Lodgian. Disgusting. BM gave me something to mull over - I really have to write long essays starting next year, and we are expected to have tons of idiomatic stuff mastered already, along with higher levels of vocab. Ugh. Hopefully we get spoonfed with words in class like how Mr Danny did it. *achoo!* I'm kinda sick right now? My sore throat and flu came full-frontal on Friday evening just before I departed for Karen's party. I arrived third to Vincent and Derrick.The party was okay, especially the blueberry-cheese tarts. I was just not up for card games really. My last few minutes of the party was spent upstairs as I record 3A's musical voyage. After recording one song, I had to go.

Yesterday was purely gaming. Mana Khemia 2 ftw. It's a totally awesome game, with two main characters (Raze and Ulrika) to choose from. I started with Ulrika since Eugy chose Raze in his first playthrough. Wow, you really can't judge from looks! I figured Ulrika would be a very polite and studious girl, but she's lazy, brash and rude! Her pal Chloe looks like a total shut-in timid nerd, but is a totally creepy girl with obsessions of the occult. Which provides comic relief most of the time. Pepperoni is a muscular guy in a kiddy costume who's very extremely creepy, much more than Chloe. He's kinda like me? He always acts cute and has the most unsuitable voice for a big muscular guy. Pretty disgusting, but he's helpful. And extremely funny. Next is Enna (Ennarsia). He's a guy. He traded names with his sister when he was young (he's supposedly Etwart). His English voice is horrid and cringe-inducing. He's probably the only normal person in Ulrika's crew. The last person in Ulrika's team is Goto, a womanizer who uses an animal costume to attract women. Well, the costume IS cute. But just cute. He's also a narcissist. I still remember one of the dialogues concerning him.

Pepperoni: "I'm cute AND strong."
Goto: "I'm cute, pretty AND adorable."
Chloe: "... That's the same thing."

Ulrika uses ropes/strings/chains in battle, Chloe uses tomes/grimoires, Pepperoni utilizes bludgeons, Enna has mechanical oversized gloves and Goto uses balls as his weapons. The rival team consists of Raze (full name Razeluxe, Ulrika-christened nickname Jerktown), Lily (rich girl with sexual fantasies of Raze), Et (Etwart, Enna's sis), Yun (hired by Lily) and Puniyo (girl on a jelly monster). The game has totally awesome script and fun gameplay, without a doubt among the final gems of the PS2. Oh, did I mention that KH: 358/2 Days has an equally kickass script?

Axel: "Demyx works just as hard as...well, okay, no, he doesn't. But I'm sure he has some kinda job."

Axel: "There's this thing about chests. They have stuff inside?"

Demyx: "Everyone at C.O. got K.O.'d! I'll have to underachieve twice as hard now."

Xigbar: "Do you always have to stare at me like I just drowned your goldfish?"

Larxene: "Go bang your head against the glass or something."

Larxene: "If you're our big-shot Keyblade wielder, then we're in deep doo-doo."

Demyx: "I love days when Larxene is out. I can sit around playing sitar...instead of gopher!"

Roxas: "Really!?!"
Axel: "No not really, go back to sleep."

Genie: "Feeling blue? I can relate." (Genie from Aladdin, he's blue)

Roxas: "I can improvise."
Xion: "Roxas, that's a stick."

Demyx: "Checking everything is rule number one of recon 101. (And letting someone else do it is rule number two)."

Xaldin: "You don't need a heart to know how to manipulate one. Remember that, Roxas. Art is beyond our ken, Roxas. One needs a heart to feel moved."

Axel: "Girls sure can be complicated stuff."
Roxas: "How did you know what I was thinking!?"
Axel: "Because you aren't complicated."

Roxas: "Have you seen Xion around?"
Luxord: "Xion? I wasn't aware she had returned."
Roxas: "So you haven't seen her?"
Luxord: "That is generally what 'wasn't aware she had returned' means, yes."

Axel: "Sleep, sleep, then when I'm done with that, roll over and sleep some more."

Xaldin: "To hold something dear is to let it hold you."

Axel: "Well, sure! Especially if they're real and female. That's like a double dose of complicated."
Roxas: "So, what about a Nobody girl like Xion?"
Axel: "Single dose."
Roxas: "I am so lost."

Roxas: "That cat is a walking question mark."

Cheshire Cat: "You might say I do, or you might say I don't. What do you say?"
Roxas: "I say see you around."

Roxas: "What's summer vacation?"
Axel: "A dream come true. A whole month of vacation."
Roxas: "How do they hold onto their sanity? I could barely fill one day. [Silently think] I could take a week, maybe."

Larxene: "Ugh, let's go - before you kill any more of my brain cells."

Roxas: "It seems like the more I learn, the less I seem to know."

Xion: "What is it you saw?"
Roxas: "A talking candelabra."
Xion (takes a look): "You're right, it is a talking candelabra..."

There's more. Especially Luxord's lines, which all consist of gambling puns.

I'm going for a birthday party again later. Same kid from last year. The name's Dylan. He got a Wii even though his parents know he did poorly in his UPSR. Anyways, it's boring since it's held in Marrybrown again which was boring last year ... seriously. What a waste of time and gastric cavity. I'll just go for the sake of going - we aren't really close at all.

Oh, and guys, if you are really that keen to take up Pendidikan Muzik for SPM, be aware that it's a BM paper.

Oh, almost forgot. For the lols.

Going, Going, Gone!

Lalalala ~ I'm on a high dose of happiness. Last week was PMR ~ I got through it by just gaming every day of PMR. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days and The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road! Pure fun.The toughest paper was BM, like, I got 29/40. The rest were pretty much pushovers - I obtained nearly perfect marks for Science (Paper 1), History and Geography; perfect for Maths. I'mma real worried for my BM essays. I had a lot of fun doing English essays. Especially Section A. I was the only one who didn't write using my own real name. I was a girl in that essay. Harmony Liew. It's really one of the many uncommon names I thought up in case I have a daughter in the future. It's not my fave in my list, but it still sounds nice. Science Paper 2 really only had a few questions that were a pain in the ass - the lime juice and zinc powder + the operational definition thingy. Was I the only one who found the cross-pollination a cakewalk? I learned the stuff in tuition. But I think I didn't phrase out my answers much directly ... but anyways. I didn't get to learn Geography the night before it so I picked up my History textbooks. I made a number of codes tha thelp me to memorize, but before even an hour passed (I only managed to cover 3 chapters) I was so bored so I went back to creating my own Pokemon League in my notebook and also jotting down all the names that I like. For boys, uhn, I like Roxas, Ciel, Mint, Thunder, Lucis and Claude. For girls, my top few are Celestine, Sandersonia, Chrome, Mercedes, Ashe, Soveraine (original!), Rolaine (original), Heather and Rhyme. I had an easier time thinking up girl names than guy names.

Uhn, *cocks head* back to the exams. For Geo I was kinda lucky because like a few questions that came out were coincidentally mentioned by Eugene in the morning. Thanks, Eugy (read: yu-gi)! You can't imagine how much I got nagged over the weekends. My mom even switched off my Toy Story 2 during the second half of the movie. Wth. Anyways History was kinda tough. But the sole piece of hoarfrost on the otherwise fine steel was a stupid Form 2 question. Ugh. I'm going to watch Toy Story 3 when it comes out in cinemas next year. Woo-hoo! It finally got a sequel. Unfortunately one of its original voice actors had died (the one who did the spring-daschund toy). Maths was surprisingly easy, I have doubts about my PK but otherwise everything's fine 'cept BM. Huhn. Never mind.

So, like, we had captainsball after our KH paper. It was fun, but I sprained my fingers (which healed in a night). *gasp* Could captainsball be ... my hidden sports talent!? *ponder* *ponder* *ponder* Okay, no way. We went to Spring on our day off yesterday. I went there quite late and had to deal with a bunch of gays from 3A. Wow, especially since I'm usually the one called gay in class. Surprise, surprise. So I angrily went to buy the tickets for the anonymous gays of 3A. They were scared of being caught for being underage. Wth. 

Receptionist: "So you want to watch Sorority Row? Are you 18 and above?"
Me: "Yeah, haha, I just turned 18 recently."
Receptionist: "I'm sorry, but may I see your IC please?"
Me: *cocks head, makes puppy face* "Oh, uhn, pardon me miss, but like, my father keeps it with him at all times. I'm kinda klutzy, see, and he doesn't want me to lose my IC like how I lose my money (this does happen!)."
Receptionist: "Oh ... okay then. Are you sure all of your friends are 18 and above?"
Me: "Yup."
Receptionist: "Are you VERY sure?"
Me: "Totally miss!"
Receptionist: "Have fun then."
Me: "Much appreciated!"

Gays. Even if they DID get caught, they had nothing to lose. Then they gay'd around s'more, in the end I got tired of waiting, grabbed 4 of them and stormed into the movie. I had an extra ticket which Edbert offered to pay this morning. How nice. The movie was a nice watch. B+? My fav character was Ellie. Girls with glasses are cute with glasses and hot when their glasses are off. Hey, she was in The House Bunny! The movie had bare breasts, but nothing compared to Monster's Ball or Pathology which actually featured real sex. Crazy. The showbiz is really getting more and more 'open'. Hrm. After the flick we walked around some, looking for Jocelyn's party. They were at Sugarbun, where I grabbed a Cheese Burger. It was pretty decent. We then gallivanted over to FOS. There were some okay tees, but I didn't grab any as even the girls didn't buy anything. After that since things were a bore, Vince and I went over to Spring's Speedy outlet and then to the top floor's gaming boutique. We didn't get anything. We separated at Sushi King where I had lunch with my mom's party who were just done watching Where Got Ghost.

Next was Kenyalang. I grabbed 3 PC games which I later realized were useless since I lack the minimum requirements (a 1GB RAM especially). What a biche. Hrn. My comp also became uber laggy when I tried installing Left 4 Dead. Ugh. 

The Gaia Online bug also came back to me - well that was what I was doing during the PMR weekends. Haha. Now Chik Sheng is also a member of Gaia - woot! Not: Gaia Online is NOT an online game. It's a social networking site. Ask Chik or Sharon.

Today was actually mediocre at best. Two teachers were boring and didn't bother lightening up the mood at all. I can't believe Eugy was assigned with the Arts stream. There were really others who don't deserve to be in Science too. Poor Eugy. Both stream hardly matter to me but I went for Science since I got myself a free pass for 4C. I told Mr Ling to give me that class if I do happen to be assigned with Science stream. I used an excuse worthy of my wiles. Hmm hmm. Now I sure hope he doesn't forget ...

Been playing my PS2 today! Finally! After 6 whole months! My great reunion! I test-played all the games I bought over the course of non-gaming months (this excludes my DS which I play everyday). 3 were defective. To hell with them. The rest were fine. Most of them were what I found in the bargain bin of a store - Game Players World at Kenyalang. Rare games of 2004 and 2005. Still nice to play. I will be getting 2 consoles ~ One will be a PSP and the other would be either the 360/Wii. I gave Dawn a handful of DS ROMs, just to continue the tradition of end-of-the-year gift-giving. She found Scribblenauts awesome! Like everyone else! Okay, not everyone else. The gays were like, nonchalant about it. How boring. At least Jordan knows the cool factor of Scribblenauts. During the last two days of PMR I also played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I am a Riolu named Williew, my partner's a Shinx. I'm currently exploring with my newly recruited Anorith and Lileep. They died in the Waterfall Cave. Hahaha.

Pardon, but I will be playing Mana Khemia 2 and Devil Summoner 2 on my PS2. Am I the only one looking forward to the Career Talk? I love Career Talks.

The Memory's Wiles Can Be Cruel

... In its silence, we forget. In its obsession, it binds our hearts. Counter that!

Not much to blog about. Not much time to blog either.

I feel like making sea-salt ice cream in the holidays after PMR. Come to Sharon's house! After we finish preparing the popsicles, we can watch a movie while waiting for it to freeze. Now we just have to find sea salt, heavy whipped cream and a popsicle mould. According to Recipezaar where the original fan-made recipe of the sea-salt ice cream is submitted, rock salt is the ideal salt for ice cream, but we will see to that. We also need blue food coloring! Around 13 drips are enough, to get the exact color as the ice cream in the game.

Talking about ice cream, Dawnce gave me her Tropicana today. I liked the vanilla filling.

I have a zipper fetish. And belt fetish too. That's why Tetsuya Nomura is my favorite chracter designer ever. Isaiah hates them though. Too many belts and zippers.

Look at Donald's zippers. It may not seem all that clear in this picture, but there's at least 4, and probably six just from this viewpoint. His beret includes a miniscule belt - no kidding!

DiZ is belt-man. His head is fully enveloped in red fabric, held together by at least two belts. Isn't it hard to see around with the hanging end whipping around as he moves?

OMG, I'm back to KH fandom! I don't like school KH though. Me loveth Kingdom Hearts. My favorite character is Donald (did you know that his Japanese name is Donarudo Dakku? You ignore the u's and the 'o' and you get Donard Dakk) while my cast of Organization XIII faves include Roxas (duh, staple favorite of everyone), Demyx (Dance water DANCE!), Xigbar (AS IF), Luxord and Larxene. 

Did you know that every KH player I've met in real life so far had all lost to Xaldin during the battle in Beast's Castle? We were all forced to use Mickey Mouse since Sora lost. Isaiah's Mickey got pwned. My Mickey owned Xaldin though. I think Mickey Mouse deserves a better costume than this:

... Even if he is working undercover. It's too dark for Mickey's cheerful disposition. And the fact that the Black Cloak looks horrible on short people.

RIP, Wayne Allwine, voice actor for Mickey Mouse since Walt Disney's time. Now Mickey is getting a new voice actor (Bret Iwan, IIRC), so expect at least minor differences in the voice.

Now, to close this post, a quote from King Mickey!

"Helping others comes before asking others for help."

... Eww, so moral-ish.

There Are Lots Of Things To Do In The Dark

... says Mr Jeff!

School ... school ... ugh, don't even remind me of school. It's so ... HOT! The school is so freaking hot, anyone who even tries making steamy hot love will spontaneously combust from the friction-generated extra heat. It isn't helping when you have classmates who find this tropical hell COLD. 

I went to Mr Jeff's extra class. It was alright. Then the lights went off. Then the titular sentence came in. Then some busybodies pulled open the curtains, burning me. Vampires don't glitter in sunlight! Beware the mistruth that is Twilight! And I do bite! Lol, these sentences rhymed just right!

Like I said before, I'm playing Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. It's so addictive, I am now addicted to what the main character himself is addicted to. I wanna eat sea-salt ice cream! SEA-SALT ICE CREAM! I like the taste of sea-salt. Salty, yet pretty sweet. There's a dessert at Asian Recipe that tastes just like that. The Red Ruby. I've just found a DIY guide on YouTube on making sea-salt popsicles, and I really want to get the ingredients. The whole recipe includes sea-salt (where the hell do I find that!?) and materials like popsicle mould. Hrm. Repeat: I wanna eat sea-salt ice cream.

I am wondering if I should debut into the writing world with a horror-comedy. Would that give people the impression of a half-assed, childish kid writer? Or should I stall my idea until later? I would like comments on this! I already feel in love with the characters. There's Rayford Darrington, a businessman with OCD, and I even already came up with a line for him, "You can use my stuff, but please don't touch them." I think I will definitely love moments featuring Missia Hawthorn, the delusional heroine I chalked up. She played too many video games and she read too many fantasy books, hence her seeing the world in a Final Fantasy-esque way. She's kinda robotic too. Ah, and Isaiah just disillusioned me to something. If I want to write, I still have to raise capital. For publication costs. Wth. Never thought of that. At all. I thought publishers will just get 30% of your books' sales, but publish them for free first. Damn ... it seems like even writers won't be free of debts.

I wanna have a house with a balcony that faces west so I can eat sea-salt ice cream while watching the sun set everyday.

I hate my father, I hate Bau people. I wish they burn in hell and never reincarnate. When my father's on his deathbed, I will curse him a tonne of curses and pray that he will never arise from the clutches of his hellish tormentors. He's a tyrant, a monster, so I might as well use him as a tool - I won't be grateful for him bringing me up. It's kinda traumatic anyways, why should I cherish it? Bau people, oh, they're a bunch of sleazy no-gooders who all have mastered the art of backstabbing, gossiping and cheating. Maybe aside from my small clique, there's nothing else remarkable about the isolated Bau commoners. They're horrendous idiots, bastards - especially the men. They're all fairly stupid. And useless. And disloyal. And just have the foulest of potty mouths. Not to mention that they ALWAYS butcher my dreams of being a writer. Hey, um, hello, none of your business, move along, I don't wanna do some dull job of running a run-down sudnry store and living away the rest of my life in dingy Bau with no great dreams of the future. And stop pestering me to be a doctor or an engineer - jobs that just force me to dam up my creative juices. If I'd be sitting in an office in the distant future, at most it will be in the advertising field. Still, I won't be all that keen about it. Wasting my time mulling over the useless Bau folk is just going to shorten my lifespan with the stress and all. Geez. It's not easy when there are adults who laugh for no good reason and swear for the equally non-existent reason, calling people dogs et cetera. 

If the government actually cares, please start moving on to developing places like Bau so that the uncivilised monkeys will finally develop brains.

I do not feel anything bad about dissing them, I am officially born in Kuching, I am closer to my Indonesian relatives, and I have a fanatical love for Japan. I feel no kinship with the unreasonable, foul, insensitive townspeople whom I've seen for over many years. 

... Sea-salt ice cream!

My Capitalist Hormones Are Raging

Finally done with homework. Hmm hmm hmm. There's still tuition work to do - but not very important.

First. And foremost.

They are making a movie about FACEBOOK. Seriously. No kidding! It will even have Justin Timberlake as the founder of Facebook. As a guy-who-had-daydreams-of-being-an-attorney, here's the decisive evidence! ... I'm dead serious, so check out the link. The credibility of this astounding piece of news item aside ... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! They are really going to make a movie revolving around FACEBOOK!? How phenomenal is that? No one even bothered making a movie about the glorious me - the Sparkling Warrior of Justice, Love and Friendship! ... I realize that I do shift my title around, but bear with me. I wonder if Facebook's users will all watch it. It scares me to even think about it. Especially since even MBO in Kuching here isn't all that big. This is definitely crazy. Crazy sheet. Even Dawn was flabbergasted. I've started to call her Dawnce. I doubt I will watch it. But I may just watch it. Just to see how Facebook came to be so phenomenal, being just a social networking site. It's not the first anyways. Who knows, they might even have a movie about Twitter soon. It frightens me just thinking about it. 

I recently got a very nice new inspiration. I'm thinking of writing a horror-comedy. But I've never came across a horror-comedy book before, so I may just make it big! That said, I never put any effort into my writing. Even during the year-end holidays, I think I will be gaming instead. Sigh ... if only I can start - that's more than enough. Once I start writing, it's hard to stop. But the problem is getting me to start. I'm too lazy. I need the extra push, if anything. As of now, I have 3 ideas waiting to be made into written form. 3 ideas that I think can make it big. Just these 3. For my latest one though, I intend to make one of my main characters a drag queen. His name will be Zsa Zsa LaHore. Problem is, I've never met an English-speaking drag queen before in my whole life, so I do not know how he would act. If anyone has contacts with an English-speaking drag queen, can you get me an interview? It will be as research material.

I think Wei Huang can get me an editor, given his mom's status, but I really at least must get a manuscript done! My capitalist hormones are raging! Me needeth teh moneyz! For lots of stuff. There's so much to think of. Video game consoles. Travel tickets. Japanese tuition fees. Overseas college/university fees. Writing school fees. Future wedding savings. French food. There is so much I can do with MONEY! Oh, btw, I will never ever eat escargots, as much as I'd like to try the French's haute cuisine. I hate, hate, hate gastropods. I hate anything with hydrostatic skeletons. I don't even have to see them. I can just visualize caterpillars or snails and I'd get all messed up. If anyone has any idea of whatever publishing company in Kuching that offers payment for writing that isn't book-length, I'm up for it! I doubt I will be studying for PMR much anyways. I'm still playing doctor in Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 and collecting hearts in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Let's just face it: We have nothing, NOTHING whatsoever to lose. Uh, maybe besides the pride of the prideful ones. I just came back from PBK though, and the results I got for the second mock papers were indeed quite reassuring - 80 and 83 for Papers 1 and 2 respectively. Phew, now, really, my concerns (though not very seriously) are only on History (which is borderline-A-material) and PK (borderline-B-material due to severe exposure to MUBB [Make-U-Business-Blind] rays). Lookie here - I can't do a single accounting question without referring to my reference book. Wowzers. It seems my brain just won't accept the theories of accounting. How pitiful. I never give up on anything before, but on this one occasion, I don't think I have any other choices. Sorry, PK, but I don't think we work well together. If I'm getting an A from you, Lady Luck's gotta be shining down on me. 

*puts on shades*
*disco jacket*
*spotlight shines on me*
*strums air guitar*
"Shine on you Crazy Diamond ~~~"

Aye, I see how dramatic I can be. But unexpectedly the metaphor works! You can say that I am crazy (hey, doubt it not) and at the same time, I'm a diamond (not in terms of beauty) - I won't be (too) hurt from merely not getting straight As, or getting any form of downfalls in life later. Call me Williew, the Adamant Soul!  Killing everything with laser beams of hope, peace and optimism ... yes, that's me!

... Super.

Radioactive Clusters On The Move

I had to wake up early again and go to Kuching for Maths tuition. I slept for 3/4 of the class. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was really half asleep and awake. Thus there were many scrawly lines on my worksheets since I was holding my RexGrip. Anywho, I finished a Papers 1 and 2 in time. That was the last tuition class, *sniff* ... I doubt I will ever see that place again ... 

LGI sincerely expresses its gratitude to Madam Chai or SMK Arang Road for her speed, and efficiency in teaching Maths for 3 years. Not to mention she doesn't give off the stern, terse aura that makes people to don't even bother asking questions. And she dutifully reduces the monthly fees according to the amount of classes you attend. That was the first tuition ever that actually did that. Now! As an old Social Link folds closed, hopefully a new one blossoms soon. 

Life is kinda like this. People hop aboard and leave your bandwagon consistently. What a harsh reality. You just can't have everyone hanging around forever. Tonight will probably be my last swimming class, depending on how next year's schedule sorts out. We are all currently moving onto the next stage of life - high school. Forms 1, 2 and 3 are middle/junior high classes. Our class will be disassembled. And people like Edbert are transferring. For no good reason. Is it just because Australia is filled with Kuching transfers? Is it okay to just make decisions based on others and trends? I'd prefer to ... differ. And what about Edwin? Did he study through Forms 1 & 2 for nothing? I still keep thinking that he is somehow the black sheep. Yet, he is so nonchalant about the whole thing. Whoa.

I am CURRENTLY looking for an English-speaking college/university in Japan. If I manage to fully learn Japanese before the end of high school, yeah, I probably won't need an English-speaking one. And I can finally play Japanese games with full comprehension of things. I've been trying to coax my father into signing up for a tour group to Japan. But he insists to go to Singapore this year. It seems very unlikely that I will go, but it is of yet still tentative. I had also stupidly signed up for the SMK Padawan trip, and the Science/Maths Camps. Just because nearly everyone else are going. How foolish. I really should have went with Daryl - not signing up for a single one. Why? Firstly, if I go to another school, I'd just be observing from the sidelines. I doubt I will have any fun; this isn't the first time after all. The Science/Maths Camps ... no! I forced myself to be nerdy! I can't believe that I wasted 3 gaming days on these 3 trivial activities. And thank goodness they are only till noon ... they are, right?

I'm still annoyed with Kuching ... IIRC, they never showed The Other Boleyn Girl in local cinemas, I really wanted to watch that since I saw its trailer in Jakarta last year. And Kuching's manga stock sucks. Sucks sheet. And Kuching is no eye-candy. And one would normally think that cities that are not very developed would have plenty of natural beauty. Sadly, Kuching's fugly. Like sheet. And Kuching's as hot and steamy as sheet. I love shopping in Jakarta. Japan is my dream country. I took a quiz and apparently Amsterdam is the perfect European city for me. Hmm, I never looked into Amsterdam much. I thought I would be recommended the quaint, serene countryside of Cottswold (sp?). 

Ah, swimming, swimming. I'm finally doing the butterfly. It's not very fun. But it's great learning to do new things. Just remember one thing - when doing the butterfly, let your butt fly. Seriously.

Can't Even Obey Rules?

... ... ...

I went to the study group! Cha-chaaang! It was really guilty pleasure going there. I went there for Pokemon, then found out that there weren't any WiFi signals today. Wth. So since I arrived around 7:50 (it was scheduled to be at 8:30, but I didn't know), I whipped out a History book and finished it while listening to music from my DS. I really couldn't help but look around when I listened to The Vogues. Paranoia mambo. Scary. Chik arrived next. Then Jordan. Sharon. Joce & Elisa. Darrow. Che Yik. Fira. Adrenne. Michael came much later. Before Michael came, we already started with Form 3 History revision. I told Fira about the dream I had concerning her wedding.

Much later, Jordan started playing Phoenix Wright (he's only on his second case!) and I played Pokemon Diamond. My Murkrow can take down enemies around 9 levels above her, given that they are weak to Flying/Ghost/Dark. Now heading for 7th Gym! ... We were playing our DSes cos' they moved on to Geography revision, we felt that we didn't need any (I hate to say this, but I really only need to focus on History and PK now, if I want all the As) ... ANYWAYS, Jordan decided to play hypocrite and joined them in their revision. So I who gets bored of the sluggish, clunky interface of Pokemon easily, switched off my game and lazed away ... trying to do a PK paper that I mislooked.

Btw, Ms Wong & Mr Willie was at school. So are a few other teachers. Wonder what they were doing. Sharon and I scouted the library to see 3 teachers discussing inside. They weren't the named couple, ergo the point is moot. The weather was so sickeningly HOT, so we slinked into the staff room to cool down. The janitors were chit-chatting away in the mini-kitchen, so Sharon and I just stood at the main doorway, enjoying the humming air-conditioner ... that was after the Liew couple left. While we were there, the rest heartlessly started thumping down the stairs. I was particularly miffed at the fact that they knew where we were, yet decided to abandon us. So apparently they were going to the shophouses. Only Joce & Elisa bothered noticing us. So we charged on ahead. The heat of the sun was unbearable. I want to up and leave Malaysia. Fly to Japan. It's currently the season of love and romance there, autumn. 

So the people went to the handphone store. I followed them there, felt nauseous, and opted to join Sharon at Uni-Shop instead. I love convenience stores ... especially ones in Japan. I dwindled around in the shop on purpose to enjoy the air-con. It was so funny cos' I pretended to check out all sorts of drinks with Sharon. In the end I went with my initial choice anyways, Pulpy C. I like orange juice with pulp. I grabbed a packet of sweets, very old classics, those milk tablets. And those choco-balls we all used to eat during our hazy childhood. 

Back at school, our McDonald's delivery van was there (was it a van?). I had a Double Cheeseburger set, along with a freshly-baked Apple Pie. They wrongly packetted them into Banana Pie packets though, which caused quite the furore among the uninformed (which includes Daryl and even myself). It was a nice lunch. I think I am beginning to appreciate McDonald's food. I used to hate the cheese, now I feel it's okay. The fries today were pretty tasteless enough that I had to use ketchup. The apple pie was awesome. Finished first! 

After that Jocelyn suggested that we play a game before we kick off with KH revision. Since everyone were confused as to what game to play, I saved the day! I thought the classic game of Hide n' Seek would just be perfect. And perfect it was. It was a total blast. It's fun playing either hider or seeker (I had played both today!), but hiding is more fun! There is this corner that I hid in. I crouched there and comically used my Doraemon wallet to shield my face. Haha, just for laughs. Sadly the seekers never showed up while I was there. In the end I was forced to hide elsewhere since my ankles ached. Adventurous games like Hide n' Seek is plain awesome. I'm happy that everyone was willing to go along with such a childish game. Once I was a hider, and I was found nearly immediately, so I went around trying to seek out the rest. I went to 5A, and I checked out the storeroom. Why do they make storerooms when the students don't even use them!? I looked to my left. Nothing. I was about to leave. But I looked to my right. I screamed. It was Adrenne with her long hair. And Shau. Scary. They screamed too. So our screams attracted the seekers :P ... That was just part of the whole game. We clocked in thelast hour of our group study with a few rounds of Fire & Ice. Not as fun, but nevertheless these nostalgic games are still very fun indeed. Shame Dawn didn't join us. Or the rest of the class.

Sometimes people can turn ... jerky, suddenly. I sometimes wodner how they have the gall to pull that off. I don't know whether to like or dislike these kind of unstable people. You just can't help cherishing them when they are nice. Then they just drop off their mask and become an entirely different creature which is a total jerk. Even Michael is sick of said person. Said person is pretty sick too, what with this multiple personality disorder.

The whole day, Daryl and Jordan was at it again - teasing Jocelyn with random garbage. Sometimes I just can't help but wonder what there is to be amused of; what there is to be laughing at. I mean, wth. They just spout something illogical (usually related to Jocelyn's non-existent fatness, or what she eats) and laugh their heads off. Yeah, har har har. I am most bamboozled. By. Such. Baseless. Stupidity. Geez, and since in normal class I sit quite close to them already, I listen to their stupidity every day. Now I'm getting fed up. No one else ... maybe except for Jordan's delta formation in front, bothers to laugh. Can't they see that they are ANNOYING, CHILDISH ... and STUPIG!? Is this caused by the PIG flu!? Things are just getting STUPIGGER and STUPIGGER by the day! Seriously, I can't believe it. And to think most of the time I see them as the most mature boys in class. Wth.

After PMR, I would like to watch Couples Retreat with everyone. It looks cool. Also, if anyone's going to Singapore in the year-end hols, tell me! Because it will affect my decision of whether to go to Singapore or not.

Last year I was all into English songs. This year it seems the J-vibe caught up to me again! I finally had the chance to listen to GReeeeN's widely acclaimed "Kiseki" which means "Miracle" in English. After listening to it, I felt that it was deserving of its popularity and place in the Guiness Book of World Records. IIRC, it broke the record for number of downloads, worldwide methinks. Not gonna post the vid (pretty enchanting), local readers = anti-Japan! 'Cept a small number of people, yeah. Talking about J-Pop, Salyu's "Iris ~ Shiawase no Hako" is awesome. It means "Iris ~ Box of Happiness". It's also Prof. Layton and the Diabolical Box's ED. The music video is so touching. Even though I have no idea what the ending is like :P ... Dawn knows though, ask her. But don't tell me. The OP and ED of Hana Kimi, "Ikenai Taiyou" by Orange Range and "PEACH" by Otsuka Ai respectively are so upbeat and hip! I am currently also looking for "Eternal Pose" by Asia Engineer - anyone has it (I doubt it)? 

Hana Kimi ... is a Japanese drama serial adapted from a manga of the same name. It's so popular, it spawned a Taiwanese version (me don't likey). It's about Ashiya Mizuki, a girl in California, who, after watching a Japanese guy who came to America to train in high jumping, disguised herself as a boy and enroll in the guy's all-boys school in Japan after hearing that the guy stopped high jumping. The school is a school that doesn't take in students based on grades but based on looks. So it is also called "Hottie Paradise". It's funny, wacky, hilarious and altogether cute and charming. It's watchable for free here.

Now I am off to Chik's blog! Woosh, just finished 3 homework in a row, after coming home from a tired day of work! I speak like an old guy! Ha ha!

Lafcadio Hearn Is A Nice Name

Why am I blogging so early, you ask? Why, that's because ... I woke up early! ... ... ...

Well, I woke up early, then Mynci, my father and I went out for breakfast at a coffee shop in the main town of Bau. I gobbled up my fried rice then hopped over to QQ's shop. We walked around on pretense. Due to that pretense, I never saw her. Wow. So I went over to the bookstore, grabbed a manga mag, and here I am at home. I got a tummy ache from my breakfast. Stupid coffee shop food. Must have been my canned drink. The can looked pretty unhygienic even after I wiped it with tissue. After that I played a little Cradle of Persia on my computer. It's a pretty nifty game that my sis dug up from out of nowhere. As in, from the computer. She said she got it from the My Pictures folder O_O ... well, she never answers straight, but I gotta thank her for getting a new game. Out of nowhere. Cool. 

Since I am free anyways ... Let's recap back to March. I went to China. I never blogged about it. I really went there for the big Liew bloodline reunion. Ha. Wth.

While I was still in Guangzhou city, I did once when searching for my mother in the late evening when she hasn't came back after quite awhile (she said she went to buy some sundries?). Of course, I won't do that for my father. So, acting like a detective, I scanned the main street for any traces of blood/glass/metal in case my mom got into an accident. Phew, thank goodness nothing happened. Next was the nearest strip mall. I whipped out my iPhone, and started asking random people whether they have seen the woman in the photo that I was displaying. Sigh ... no dice. It was really worrying. Not to mention the weather was cold. In the end, I gave up and trudged back to the hotel. My mom returned much much later. Apparently she netted herself a guide of her own and she went shopping elsewhere and there were lots of snacks and cup noodles. Yay? Okay, so that was very worrisome and it repeated the following night. Only that time, I brought my sis along. In the end our search bore no fruit. Anyways, that aside, the hotel's buffet was awesome! I always look forward to breakfast every morning. Since I can get any ingredients I want, I tried out food art! I'll just post one:

I know I could have tidied up the lower-right side a bit, but I forgot. This is the easiest form of food art for me yet - just use fried rice as base, then sprinkle some furikake to make shapes. The buffet had all sorts of condiments, and was I delighted when I saw that they have furikake! There were many other foodstuffs, I definitely recommend it. It's the Baiyun Hotel, in case it had already slipped your mind.

I would like to continue, but I have only done 1/4 of my total homework!

I Have The I-Will-Die-If-I-Do-Homework Disease

Yesterday (Monday), I woke up after a dream about Fira's wedding. Everyone were to race to her wedding. I started off in an abandoned mall. On the road I met up with lots of other people like Shau and hitched rides, ran, rode bikes and climbed mountains to finally reach a secluded village where Fira's white, minimist bungalow was. What a scary way to attend a wedding. The journey was the most exciting though, we went to a lot of places before finally reaching the wedding party. So my maid tried waking me up at 9. I brushed her off. At 10 and 11 too. I brushed her off on those two occasions as well. The dream was one of those adventurous ones. I love adventures. I was the first to reach the wedding party, at night. It skipped to the next morning and I noticed how Fira's place was so beautiful. Marble flooring, porcelain deco, wow. Very white. There was the greener garden, yeah. I can't remember much. But I haven't had such a nice dream in a while already. Don't ask me who the groom was, I didn't even get to see Fira in the whole dream.

Today I had about 11 hours of sleep, methinks. I slept at 4 am till 3:30 pm ... no kidding. Okay, I was kidding. I woke at 12 something, watched some CSI, some Scare Tactics, some Oprah Winfrey show, some British music videos (I liked Sugababes' Push The Button) - basically, a parade of random programmes. Then there was the commercial that Dr Oz will be making his last appearance in Oprah's show tonight, so I wept for the emotion that was there. Aww. Too bad I couldn't make it for the Dr Oz special episode, I was at Science tuition. So after TV, like, about 2 pm, I slumped down on a portable mattress in the living room and lazed the hours away. Eventually I fell asleep again. Ugh.

Later I finally picked myself up for shower, then just as I switched on my DS, my father came home and alerted me of Indonesian guests. They came while I was in the Underground, so I was forced to let the game run while being charged. The guests (the teens only really) were childhood friends whom I can't even assign proper names to anymore. Well, we chatted a bit in Indonesian (they were surprised I managed to master the language, being never-officially-educated after all) ... they asked me why I can't go to Jakarta this year, I said this year I am 'ludes'-ed. 'Ludes' means broke. Kinda like a slang. They also asked why I didn't follow my mom and sis to Kalimantan this holiday (I know I never mentioned it). Well, there was an embargo put on me since PMR is coming up. And I haven't studied :P ... Anyways, my mom and sis left last Friday at 3 in the morning (I stayed up on Thursday night just to say my farewells). I always weep at farewells, this one was no exception. Especially being fuelled by a certain scene in the manga Steel Ball Run. The part where Johnny tearfully chose to save Gyro's life over the treasured Saint's body parts. IIRC, the chapter was "The Promised Land Sugar Mountain", Part 3. So one of the visitting teens offered to buy Indonesian manga for me - I can order from her through MSN now - yay! Then I added everyone in Facebook and ka-blam they had to go. 

Yesterday I also found out that the creator of the (in)famous Crayon Shin-Chan, Yoshito Usui, had died while hiking. Our world lost another of its best. His manga was the type that can just brand a smile on your face no matter how dark your days had been. LGI sincerely expresses its deepest sympathies and condolences to Usui-sensei's family and co-workers. R.I.P

The song, "Turn Around, Look At Me" is one awesome love song. But it made me so paranoid, now I always look around, feeling that ghosts are around. This is mainly because the way it was used in Final Destination 3 made it seem like a stalker's creed. I mean, the first few lines are like:
"There is someone
Walking behind you
Turn around
Look at me.
There is someone
Watching your footsteps
Turn around
Look at me ..."
But to counter that, I have ... the ED for Hana Kimi, "PEACH" by Otsuka Ai! It's so vibrant and cheery! Nevertheless, the creepy/romantic song by The Vogues that's hitting me with paranoia is very much worth listening to. Pure goodness.

Last night, for some reason, while waiting for some webpages to load, I went over to my One Piece tab. And I received a great surge of One Piece energy that was so great, I actually started reading it full-force. I sped from the tearful end of the Sabaody Archipelago arc where the crew got separated up until mid-Impel Down arc. It was that awesome. I expected the Amazon Lily arc to be boring, but unexpectedly, I found it a page-turner. Finally, the killer arc. Impel Down. It was SO ... SUPER. I cannot even begin to describe it. First off, my blood was like, rushing. Reunion with old villains. Buggy, Mr 3, Bon Clay. Whoa. Later, when Luffy was poisoned by Magellan, Bon Clay said another one of those killer lines when asked why he had to help Luffy. "We are friends! There's no need for any other reason!" One Piece. You. Rock. Please don't end! Later when Iva injected Luffy with the hormones, Mr 2 (Bon Clay) stayed outside and cheered Luffy on without resting. He was THAT awesome! And Daryl didn't tell me! The whole time I played "BRAND NEW WORLD" on my computer, to further encourage the rush. Finally, today I finished things up till the latest chapter. Mr 2's selfless sacrifice at the end ... was most noteworthy. From now on, I seriously respect transvestites. They may even better than other guys. Like certain classmates. Now all the focus is on the Marineford battle. If anything, I want the Straw Hat crew to come immediately, or for Moria to be beaten to a bloody pulp by anyone. I can't wait for the Straw Hats to return stronger than ever. Here are my speculations:

Zoro - Learns Haki since he may train with Perona by trying to cut her ghosts.
Sanji - Learns Okama Kenpo to further expand his movepool.
Nami - Learns a lot more meteorological skills from her stay in Weatheria.
Usopp - Beetle-based moves? I mean, his sling-staff is called Kabuto, and one his attacks is Hissatsu Atlas Suisei, based on Atlas beetles. Not to mention he is with a guy in a beetle mask now ...
Robin - Rokushiki. The people who saved her in the end looked suspiciously like Lucci, Kaku and Jyabura.
Franky - New mechanical abilities, and he may potentially upgrade the Sunny since he is at a technological island now.
I am unsure about Brook and Chopper though, but since they are my favorites, I really hope they will get super strong.

After Hana Kimi, I'm going upstairs :P

Blogger Blawgh

This is my first attempt at blawghing. It's just like tweeting in Twitter. Just that this one sounds less cute. Btw, I am patenting the term 'blawghing' ... or at least I am the founder :P.

I won't be blawghing here. Too bad. The blawgh is just the official term for the short sentence at the top in gray.

This morning I woke up for History tuition after a mere 3 hours of sleep. When I woke up I scrambled for the door because the room was dark and Where Got Ghost took its toll on me apparently. Last night after blogging I went up and I played Zubo for a bit. It's a musical-cum-role-playing game on the DS. Quirky and decent. Then I quickly moved on to Pokemon. Diamond. I finally discovered how to connect with players all over the world. I'm so happy that I have HomeWiFi. Did you know that WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity? Later I will be battling Jordan's team, straight from my house here in Bau. I hope he remembers. I trained my Pokemon a lot last night, without using Rare Candies/Exp Share. I mostly focused on Vesper (my Vespiquen, originally intended to be named VesperLynd, a tribute to the Bond girl of the same name) and Cherry, my Cherrim. Here are their current movesets, ready for my future NU battles with Jordan or anyone else. NU means Never Used. I like using Pokemon that are rarely used by pros. 

Cherry Lv 29
Naive nature
Held item: Persim Berry
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Petal Dance
- Growth
- Sunny Day

Vesper Lv 29
Quirky nature
Held item: Insect Plate
- Heal Order
- Defog
- Power Gem
- X-Scissor

They were both very useful on the annoying route to Celestic Town. Cherry easily OHKOed the Ninja Boys' Geodudes and Vesper Power Gem'd those stupid Ponytas to death. During the final quarter of the route I switched in Murina, my Murkrow since the aforementioned duo were already exhausted. 

So let's get back to History tuition. Not very reassuring. I got a B for the first paper my tutor issued but I got an A that beats my mock's A for the second paper. It was very fun. My tutor also watched The Final Destination and Where Got Ghost in cinemas though she is pregnant. Whoa. And here I thought horror flicks are the worst treats expectant mothers can ever receive. We discussed the deaths in mediocre detail, laughed at some of the silliness, talked about the songs that were playing on my playlist (my teacher loved The Vogues' "Turn Around, Look At Me" which was palyed in Final Destination 3 and was really creepy) then Mynci and I were left with two sheets to do in the holidays. Before she went, we watched a spoof trailer of Final Destination 4 on YouTube. It's got to be one of the funniest parodies of a horror movie yet.

Watch, there's not one bit of a scare, but every part is worth lolling for. Then after the teacher left, we moved onto watching the very first Final Destination on YouTube. Wow, the movie feels so fresh since I last watched it during 1st grade. Part 7 of the movie was banned for 18 and below YouTubers ... what a let-downer. I believe it was during Mrs Lewton's death. Too violent? Don't think so. The first movie's deaths are all pretty lame. And stupid. First of all, Mrs Lewton is a retarded teacher who didn't even notice her mug leaking, and didn't have the common sense to back away from a smoky computer. And she was a bish. Die, bishes! So we watched Hana Kimi instead. Mynci already watched the Taiwanese version, but it's all new to me. I love reverse harems. Awesome. I mean to say, I love everything with Horikita Maki in it. 100% lol-guaranteed. Later Mynci left after the first episode, I went for a nap. I woke up, looked at my left. Then I turned my head to the right. WAGGGH! My maid was standing so near to me staring off into the distance and I was so scared. I really should have picked A Perfect Getaway over Where Got Ghost. Or even G-Force. I was so traumatized, I didn't go back to sleep and sat around singing random songs I came up with. I really wanted to get on with my homework, but ... yeah ... The whole afternoon I also used Blogthings, a lot. I also went for a walk under the rain with my umbrella. I like rainy walks. Chilly, refreshing. 

Then I sat aorund doing fruitless stuff till now. I know, I REALLY should start getting things going. Quote Mr Andy, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going!"

WiFi Battle, here I come!

All Your Base Are Belong To Us

If you don't get the reference on the title ... I dunno. 

Btw, I got some of my facts wrong. The Prof. Layton series is not based on picture books. It's based on the creater's fondness for puzzle books >.< ... I don't really like puzzle books!

It is so nice to have early holidays, even if it's just by a day. My mock results were okay. 5As, 1B, 1C. The literature part for BM 1 is actually pretty subjective to how you see things, so how well I do on that part always varies. I did not expect my PK results to be how it is. I really thought History was way harder, and the A I got from it was so encouraging! It was a very close A, yeah, but it still counts. I don't think I will be getting straight A1s in SPM, but we really shouldn't care all that much. While waiting for the 29th of September to come round, I've been playing a lot of Pokemon Diamond, and Pokemon SoulSilver. SoulSilver is in Japanese, but hey, I've been playing those types for quite a while already. I will play HeartGold in English later. I just beat my first Gym in SoulSilver with my following team:

Flint Lv 12 (Male Cyndaquil, main sweeper)
Gina Lv 11 (Female Geodude, my current physical wall)
Buzz Lv 11 (Male Beedrill, mainly for weakening Pokemon with Poison Sting/Fury Attack to capture them)
Kiran Lv 10 (Female Hoothoot, I initially wanted a Spearow for the Flying position but people recommended Hoothoot for its Hypnosis)
Merry Lv 11 (Female Mareep, backup sweeper)
Vic Lv 6 (Male Bellsrout, just captured)

I have an Onix and a Togepi egg in storage ... I'm not using the Onix cos' I got it when Gina already learned Rock Throw, so there's no point stocking up on Rock Pokemon ... I'm not a fan of them. Gina will be replaced later I think.

James thinks it is unfair if people like me get straight As if hard-working people like him don't. Eh ... I just have to say that studying isn't all about working hard. I believe one can study in many ways, and I decided to take it smooth and easy, like how I am currently doing my PK homework. I copy all of the answers down with pencil, read through all the papers, and that's it. It's easy, fast and you get the info. Later I just have to intentionally make some errors to make it seem like I didn't copy. But I bet Mr Jeff will find out *gulp* ... the teachers read blogs. I also don't think it is wrong to still be reading manga, playing games or watching movies (I just did :D). I just wasn't born to be a work-grinder. I don't like games that need a lot of grinding as a result. Thus my dislike of MMOs. I am also more of a night person (I took the test online) - I sleep through the first 4 classes of school everyday since I work better under the moonlight (I never did any work al fresco though, just indoors, at night). You can see that James detests my copying/sleeping habits (he sure does, and I don't like him reprimanding me). Well, it's not like anyone compliments me for not copying. No, that's just an excuse. Now I'll be moving onto the History homework that doesn't have answer sheets :( ... but I will NOT refer to the stupid textbooks. I prefer to read and work separately. My workspace is not all that ... spacy, and I'd rather just skim through my work :P ... sorry, I don't want to waste so much time on homework. I have Pokemon and j-dorama to catch up on. There's also the minor timeslots of blogging and badminton. I don't get to do much badminton these days, it had been more than 2 weeks. I am expecting to exercise some tomorrow. Talking about exercise, I'm so glad that our team won our last captainsball match of the year! I'm also the self-proclaimed MVD (D for Defender) this time round, I chose to stick to steel wall defense than the balanced offensive-defensive approach I used to take that turned out disappointing. We lost our last ball, but I don't care, in total we scored more. It's the most fun team sports for me, in others like basketball or football they all seem so rough and show-offish. Btw as a guy I hate football. I never saw what the whole craze is about, so don't bother changing my mind. But I don't mind American football. It's awesome. I'm an Eyeshield 21 fan. Karen said she may hold a captainsball match during her birthday, and I am hoping that it will be held.

I never said I will get straight As. I don't need them. But they will be helpful. I try to get them. Even if I don't get them, I won't blame my laid-backness. I am happy for how things are, and it's better to stay true to myself than reduce myself to some studious nerd or wannabe model student when I am not. Hey, just having a few missing As won't cancel out your future! Let's have a little look-see: Final Fantasy XIII will still be coming out, my passion for writing is still burning strong, One Piece has yet to end, Japan is still there, marriage is still on the highway, the soundtrack to my life still consists of the most vibrant of songs. I'd wake up every morning to see that the world has begun anew yet again. There are so many things to enjoy. Like enjoying the Malaysia summer daze with Mr Danny while watching the Football Club do their drills. Rewinding at Spring with Jordan. Shopping with Daryl. Eating snacks with Sharon. Playing badminton with Mynci. Deep talks with Shau/Yong. I particularly enjoy all these 1-on-1 sessions. I have the hardest of times expressing myself in groups. When in groups I just be the clown (I'm scared of clowns to be frank) ... there's no real bonding cos' I'm just there for laughs. I expect myself to have hard times in both the Arts and Science streams (but possibly won't be as hard in Science since I am really only business-blind) ... they make little difference. If there's a Literature stream, maybe I will work harder, but ... XD I bet I will just subconsciously expect the teachers to know where to stream me. People in Kuching sure look down on the realm of artistry. That's why the Literature stream got cancelled out. My parents aren't the most encouraging of their children's dreams, so they won't pay for courses I intend to take from The Writer's Bureau. It's a writing school btw. I showed Yi Yong a letter I received from them, straight from Manchester! I wished I have paid less attention of school and more on part-time jobs. I have an ex-classmate. She started working at a boutique part-time since she graduated 6th grade. Now she has gone all the way to working in a restaurant in Kuching from mere Bau. I'm still trying to contact her ... I wish one day I can meet her again. She was an awesome friend. I used to help out at her grandparents' bakery (I still do it actually, occasionally, without pay). I wish I live in Kuching, there are more job offers, and with my size, it isn't hard faking my age unless identification is needed. Then again hopefully I am given the chance to show my capabilities. But all those can just be excuses, I realized. I am just running away. I am just lazy. In fact there are jobs just about a mile from where I live. I just feel bored looking at the low wages. Sigh ... I just recently received an e-mail from the Bureau stating that they have reduced the student's fees but I never told them I cannot pay. I dunno why I am letting down the hopes of so many people. But if there's one thing I am sure of, I am trying to over come this laziness, and hopefully I can grasp my dreams as soon as I can. Currently I am shooting for whatever writing competition that comes my way, but I'm yet to win any. I lost the MPH one ... I realized that I never really stuck to the theme much, and it was actually quite vague, the references. Writing is a most enjoyable career, but it is also one of those that can take forever to receive your paychecks. I wonder how J. K. Rowling manages those uber-thick monoliths known as Harry Potter. According to many sources, a stable income is the staple requirement for marriage, and I don't want a late marriage. I really like family life, evident from how much I adore the dorama At Home Dad. Mr Andy even said that I am born to be a family man. Oh, he's an education counsellor that came for our EduFair this year as GEN's ambassador. He recommended the Academia in Australia as my place for higher education, but I have many pet peeves about Australia ... mainly because of it being where most Kuching people are going, and also the thing I've discussed with Mr Danny the other day ... my unwillingness to blend in with the norm. Isaiah seconded it. I went to the EduFair with Agnes ... meaning ... that was one of our 1-on-1 bonding sessions! Awesome! So she wants to be a businesswoman ... guess I won't be seeing her in class next year. Btw, if you are a guy, and you secretly admire Agnes, you have to be thin (not stick-thin), muscular and tall. And manly. If you actually observe here, you shy boys of 3A, you can see that beneath her quietness she is quite perky and ... cute! I am just trying to highlight our classmates' qualities, so don't go thinking the wrong way. And btw, don't be like Michael who just upped and asked to bond. It won't do! When we bond, we bond. Our moments come n-a-t-u-r-a-l-l-y. For current 9th graders, you can still see Mr Andy (Lee) next year during our EduFair if you go. Or else you can meet him later this year at the The Functions Room in Hilton on October 17th. GEN (Global Education Network) will be holding a Pre-University Education Fair there for free, and that includes career counselling etc. If you engage me on MSN I can give you the flyer online. GEN is very cool because they provide farewell parties for students who are leaving, student visa application and also guaranteed accomodation, alongside other spiffy bonuses. Not all education companies do that. In case you are wondering, yes, I am the self-appointed ambassador of GEN in the blogosphere. It's a very sad job with zero wages. But I did mention to Mr Andy before that if I'd be working in an office, I'd be in the CM (commercial) field. As of now that's the only office job I know so far that needs creativity. Maybe besides fashion/interior designers. I'd say I have a knack for interior designing (needs verification) or at least the passion. I love playing The Sims to design my Sims' houses. My last project was a a very hexagonal suburban home. I loved it. It used to be symmetrical but later I added a backyard. It's still great! 

I must be the Digression Maestro. I am so great at digressing, I kill Tweeters at Twitter who use uber-short messages with my Midgardsomr-ish posts. You can call me Williew, the Cute Sparkling Warrior of Love, Friendship and Digressions! I heal J. Loh with my Angelic Eye Beams of Love! I massacre hoards of loners with my Dance of Friendship! I slay Tweeters with my Digressive Verbosity Pose! For the rest, I can subjugate them with awesome sparkles of cuteness. I was joking. I wish I wasn't born big cos' I really like to act chibi. Maybe I am just a Midori (from Devil Survivor) wannabe! But who cares!? This post needs its fair share of un-seriousness, I believe. Lately I think I could have multiple-personality disorder. Sometimes I see myself as a midget-like character with delusionary quirks. Other times maybe an old man with quite the facial hair, salt-and-pepper hair and cigarette. If not, a guy dressed in a cute mascot costume. Eww. Watahelle.

Today I went to Spring with Jordan. I reached there first, and the crowd for immense. I queued so long at MBO's box office. Then I asked for Gamer tickets. I stupidly nodded when the health-conscious attendant (she had a face mask) asked if I was below 18. James called me naive, and I really can't see why otherwise, sigh. So I couldn't watch Gamer, forcing me to watch Where Got Ghost. It gave me goosebumps to even type out such horrible English. Before I got the tickets though, I saw a bunch of stupid grade school boys with such short height queuing up at an empty counter waiting to be served. I bet their parents would be so embarassed. I can't believe they can let such stupid children go out on their own. On the other hand, my father won't even let me buy an iPhone casing on my own because he feared I will be cheated. Wth. This is way more unfair than me getting 7As and James not getting them, IMO. Iasked Sharon out as well but her parents did not grant permission. Poor Sharon. I tried to contact Shau but failed. I must have had the wrong number. I lingered around outside till Jordan came from Ms Joey's tuition. We just poked around the top floor. Then we realize there was only 15 minutes left and the queue at the snack bar was horrid. I left Jordan to grab the drinks and popcorn while I chatted away with seniors Victor Tan (my apparent lookalike which I still have doubts of) and Shirley Ngui. I also saw Joshua from 3B and Elyssa along with their gang of unknown kids. In the end we were about 10+ minutes late for the movie. The movie is just a compilation of 3 shorts, and we just watched the last quarter of the first short movie. It was mildly scary. Since there were a bunch of idiotic kids (presumably from the empty counter) and other idiotic teens, it was so noisy with people shouting and laughing at whatever. Seriously, that was my first time being in a theatre with such cinema-etiquetteless people and it wasn't my first comedy. When I watched Final Destination the other day, no one even screamed. I must have been unlucky this time. Like Jordan said, today Spring was just replete with sluts and Ah Bengs. There was even a girl who mustered the most unnatural, off-notch "F**k" when a ghost appeared on-screen. And man, was she loud or what. Then those stupid kids ran up and down the aisle screaming that it was scary. Hey, have some manners. It was your own fault for not buying G-Force tickets. At least leave quietly. Good riddance. The second short was actually scary and with minor funny moments. But truly scary. I am more scared of ghosts than gratuitious gore I had during the last outing at Spring. The last one was so touching, I cried. Seriously. It was also a bit scary. Especially the part where the ghost appears in the television. 3.5/5 for the whole thing ... maybe it would have gotten higher if I watched all of the first short too.

Jordan and I went gallivanting over to Starbucks. Before that, he went to buy a crystal case for his DS (...). I ordered an Apple Danish and an Iced Latte. The drink was so bitter, I regretted buying it. The food on the other hand was divine. But RM7 still seems a bit too pricy. Oh well. We whipped out our DSes and booted up our respective Generation IV Pokemon games. I used Diamond, he used Platinum. We logged onto Starbucks' WiFi and traded our evolution-by-trading Pokemon. Finally. Willie, my Machoke, became a Machamp. Gashuri, my Haunter, became a Gengar. Domon (Do means earth in Japanese, mon means door), my Graveler, became a Golem. And Jordan's Kadabra shedded its bra and finally became a true woman who doesn't need bras (Alakazam). I admit that that was so lame a pun, I didn't even chuckle. I myself forgot to trade over Mephisto (my Kadabra) but whatever. I don't use Mephisto much after I got Raphael, my prized Girafarig. Did you know that Girafarig is palindromic? It is the same spelled backwards. Girafarigs belong in the NU tier when it comes to competitive metagaming, but I use it anyways. To make matters worse, my Girafarig has the Jolly nature. When I caught it I still haven't realized the importance of natures but anyways I don't think I will be into the metagame part much anyway. I will just max out Raphael's SpA EVs and probably give it Choice Specs. Girafarig is awesome for its Normal/Psychic typing so it cancels out its Ghost-type weakness though it is still weak to Dark-type moves. So I intend to spread its EVs between HP, SpA and Def. Jordan and I also battled some, I got 2 wins, 1 loss. Then we said bye and here I am after finishing up Uta no Onii-san's last episode. I cried. Haha.
