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.

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!

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.

If Everyone Cares, Nobody Dies

... If everyone dies, nobody cares. Those are the first two lines of the Random Singing session between Yi Yong and me. Currently, it goes like this:

If everyone cares, nobody dies
If everyone dies, nobody cares
(those two lines are interchangeable)
[Yi Yong sings something]
Oh my soul is in pain
(time for random lyrics)
My head's in the game but my heart's in the song

Bla bla bla

Besides Random Singing, 3A also has Random Dancing services, along with mock trials and talk shows ... all hosted by me. I am also thinking of a confession booth service. You can cover your face with a piece of paper, so will I, and you can start confessing your secrets. By the way, I will be able to see your nametag :D

Okay, a-yo yo, we are, fin'shed, rappin' the prologgie ... yo! Leschuhz (let's start) wiv ... gaymin'! It'z a-gettin' gayer by da min'te!

I am currently into Pokemon Diamond and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. This is PLatDB:

That was just a parody on the official trailer. If you want the links to the other parodied Prof. Layton trailers, drop in on the chatbox, right on your ... right, yessiree. Anyways, since Prof. Layton is pretty unknown in Kuching (only Dawn knows it when I mention the name), let us start with the explanation; full-swing and all.

The Prof. Layton games are together a DS series based on a series of picture books (picture books are really cool, okay?), developed by kick-ass developer Level 5 (Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, Rouge Galaxy, Ninokuni: Another World, Ushiro) and currently there are only two Layton games in English - Prof. Layton and the Curious Village + PLatDB. The series are based on Profesor Layton and his apprentice Luke as they take down puzzle after puzzle. That sure sounded boring. But believe me, it's not. It's even better than masturbation. Trust me, I'm sure. In every game you will be treated to a majestic plot and charming, simple artwork. The game also has voice-acting to boot. Great voiceovers, in fact. They are rich with the British accent, and I just love classic English settings, okay? Especially being on a classic express train in Diabolical Box. According to Yi Yong (the London guru), no such trains exist anymore. Boo. You may be wondering how Level 5 managed to cram 1000s of puzzles and voice-acting and orchestrated soundtracks into a DS cartridge, but who cares how they did that. All that matters is the game sucks you in. I'm also currently playing Pokemon Diamond ( I know I've said this). I can't wait for HeartGold/SoulSilver. By 29th September though, I no longer need to play Pokemon Diamond, I will have Hero's Saga: Laevateinn Tactics, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days and The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Don't underestimate the last one. I've seen a trailer, and it looks awesome. I also would like a PSP just to play P3P (Persona 3 Portable). I finally netted myself a deal that if I get at least 5As, I can have a new console. Finally, some motivation to study. ONLY ONE CONSOLE! AND THEY ALL LOOK SO AWESOME! The PS3 has the best graphics output, and also the most likely console Konami and Atlus will move Suikoden and SMT onto, respectively. The 360 has some impressive games like Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia. The Wii will be having Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon and I also wanna try Pokemon Battle Revolution, alongside Super Smash Bros Brawl. The PSP will have Ushiro, P3P, and Revelations: Persona. Btw, my father brought home a PSP of his friend's son's to give me a taste-test. I was like, "WHOAAAA" ... I mean, I've tried Vincent's before, but I didn't have much time trying it out XP. It was a 1st-grader's PSP, and thus I played LocoRoco :) ... it was pretty innovative for a platformer, but that's about it. With me, platformers won't ever make it to the end credits. Well, most of the time. That's also why I don't appreciate stuff like Mario. Eww. At least LocoRoco has its charm.

Dorama, dorama, I like dorama (Japanese drama) ~
Indian, Indian, I like talking like an Indian ~
Objection, objection, I can't wait for Miles Edgeworth's game next year ~

Let's check my list of watched dramas!

1st (and the one that drove me to watch dorama in the first place!) - Smile (unfinished)
2nd - Atashinchi no Danshi (finished)
3rd - At Home Dad (favorite, finished)
4th - Attention Please (unfinished, stupid Dailymotion is crazy slow)
5th - Dragon Zakura (this dorama is awesome! But the 5th episode is hosted on Veoh which is banned in Malaysia ... one of the reasons I hate staying here ... maybe I'll have to look for the DVD ...)
6th - Uta no Onii-chan (watching, I hate how the main character looks so pathetic but otherwise it's great ... personally, I find the main character to look like Kenny Sia actually, minus the pathetic parts)
7th - My Little Chef (just started)

I've been working hard on finding every dorama with Abe Hiroshi inside (At Home Dad, Dragon Zakura, My Little Chef) ... he's my favorite actor! Let's see my favs!

Fav. Male Actor: Hiroshi Abe
Fav. Female Actor: Maki Horikita
Fav. Child Actor: Okayama Tomoki

I also like regulars like Ueto Aya, Koike Teppei, Aragaki Yui etc. I tend to like watching family dramas, so I especially liked At Home Dad. May talk about it another time.

I worked hard painting in Art! I painted a personified collage based on my image of Persona 5 ... I am expecting it to have a neon green + black motif, complete with a plot connected to nature. So I brought my painting to Mr Chai after-school. He gave me the 49, but he said he wants to sell my painting. Wth? I refused (I won't even get the money!) since I really wanted to show the painting to Isaiah and Aaron from upstairs. However he just went on with it, blur as always, and told me I can take it back if it doesn't sells. O_O ... Hey, I know I'm supposed to be happy that a painting of mine actually got appraised to be of value, but it's really a special one for me. At least let everyone else in class to see it. T_T I really want people like Agnes to praise me, because ... they like to give harsh criticisms! Argh!

These days I am getting good reads off the school's library! I recently read Tripping to Somewhere by Kristopher Reisz and it was a fantastic blast. I had an awesome time reading it, except for the mildly disturbing parts featuring lesbianism. Otherwise it's just the perfect book for me. Now I am reading N. P. by Banana Yoshimoto. Her Kitchen book was amazing, so I thought, "Why not?" As usual, Japanese stuff sucks me in. N. P. stands for North Point, btw. It features incest. Oh great, I am starting to attract books featuring the most disturbing of sexual conquests like how rubbish attracts flies! ... Not a very nice comparison. I like my most recent essay that I wrote for a pop writing test. Yi Yong said it was average, but I suppose she just didn't get the humour. At least Dawn got all cracked up. I was actually worried that Ms Chin wouldn't like the sarcastic nature of my essay, but it seems to be fine.

Down, down, down ~ *humming Uta no Onii-chan's OP*

Oh yeah, no HeCuDePe.

Like, Bam!

I have no idea why I am posting this late when I am supposed to be sleeping. Last last week, I cried for a total of 9 times. See, first I cried when Yousuke reunited with Juxiang in The Little Nyonya, then I cried watching the Brand New World (by D-51) opening theme for One Piece because an overpowering nostalgia surged over me. Brand New World is the best anime opening, EVER. One song that I will never get bored of. Here's my rating for One Piece's best openings:

#1 - Brand New World by D-51

#2 - Believe by Folder 5

#3 - Crazy Rainbow by Tackey & Tsubasa

Talking about songs, I recommend Mystery Jets' Half in Love with Elizabeth. Don't worry, it's English, anti-Japan freaks. Please stop thinking that everything western is cool and all that and that eastern stuff are lame. You're just wasting your life by covering yourself up in a dumphole. You might as well be living in a dump. You don't even try to know eastern culture yet you prance about with your western dreams ... when you don't really know much about western things either. 

I cried 5 times watching Smile's 6th episode, 3 times during its first. I wonder what's taking Stormy Subs so long to sub the next episode. I can't wait. Atashinchi no Danshi is awesome. It's a really cool dorama (Japanese drama) and I think they should have more dramas like it. My favorite character is Ohkura Akira. See, he is just kewt and undeniably charming. I mean, hello? He's 12, he's cool, he's cute, he's mature, he's smart and he BUYS AND SELLS STOCKS. Oh yeah, he also does magic and will fall asleep immediately at 9 pm on the spot. He could be peeing, arm-wrestling, anything. He will just freeze still. 

He is portrayed by Okayama Tomoki, who immediately became my favorite child actor. In the drama I also like Chisato (she's very cute too), Satoru (cute) and Kyoko (she always appear out of nowhere). My fav AnD episodes would be episodes 3 & 7! I like Ep. 3 because of the scene in the end which was so effing hilarious. First of all, stupid Sho didn't even notice that a woman was stealing his' house's stuff right in front of him. Then they went on a wild goose chase. The woman (Yoshida) knocked Takeru (who's part of a Bosouzoku) unconscious with one flying punch. Then Satoru screamed for nothing and jumped out of his window. Wth, the Japanese are pwnsome! I like Ep. 7 mainly because Akira is the focal point for once. Poor Akira. His theme color is yellow, and that is so in sync with me.

I'm currently playing SMT: Devil Survivor on my DS (US release this time round). It still feels fresh even though I played the JP version already. I love Midori. She will always be my favorite character.

I want to sleep. Bzzt.

I Miss Battle Royale

Tough day, folks. Last night I slept at 1 after playing Knights in the Nightmare. And I woke up at 6 something to prepare for my private tuition at 8. History =). I have a History tutor starting last week. When my parents told me about it, I was horrified as I had been through tutoring experience before. Last time in 6th grade I had a tutor for Chinese. He's awesome, but I had restrain myself from yawning the whole time. I really didn't want to relive such a nightmare. Therefore I invited Mynci to come along to my house every Sunday morning. At RM50 a month, it's quite cheap for a tutor really.Well, contrary to my initial expectations, the tutor is fun! She has quite the sense of humor, we get our share of laughs, and I get to play music from my computer XD! I've always wanted to go to a school with a BGM, especially those video game ones (which ARE school themes) like Persona 3's Want To Be Close, Changing Seasons or Mana Khemia's Vayne and his Pleasant Friends. Revitalizing, fo sho. Sadly, schools don't realize this. Even though Lodge is a private school like Gekkoukan, no one thought about it. Like, speakers in class playing the music quite softly (like I do during History tuition). The speakers can also be used for breaking news/announcements by the higher ups like in Japanese schools. Cool. Last week during the exams I was suddenly thrust back into Persona-mania mode. Therefore, I bought a sling bag on purpose, and I jog into the foyer with the exact rhythm as the random Yosuke, Chie etc. who bump up on Souji when he is walking to school. And I hum Want To Be Close. There's that sense of true youth in it. I walk into class and shout, "Mornin'!" Wow, never done that before. Very, very refreshing. I wonder if Eugene does it too. Whenever I finish my papers I will be tap-a-tapping my fingers like Inspector Lunge and hum something. If it's cloudy, Hearbeat, Hearbreak. Sunny? Your Affection. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars for rains. But then the rhythm of the falling rain is enough for rains, like in P4. A most carefree exam week. As of the last day of exams, I went to PBK for my replacement exam. I didn't meet Karen or Phil. So I was so down, down, down. I did meet Geraldine-dine-dine. I'm high (now, not then). After I'm done I went out with a big plan. Not exactly, but a plan. I wanted to go to The Gingerbread House, sit down, order a cup of coffee, and act all adult and cool, sipping coffee while playing Suikoden Tierkreis on my DS. Nevertheless, my plan failed, due to my mother already waiting for me. Huh. We were to go to Premier 101 to wait for my father. So off we go in her friend's car. Woosh! And it was like, ka-blam, and, like, we crashed into the main square of 101. It's the open area in front of the Yamisu tea house. I'm not calling it Zhen Gong Fu, because it's Jia Gong Fu. No, serious, it's fake. The real Zhen Gong Fu franchise in China is not that cheap. Cheapskate! It had been quite long since I went to an open-air coffee-shop. So why not? It's kinda wild and happening anyway. 101 is pretty tame during the day, so I didn't know. For people out side Malaysia ... 101 is a block of shops that is far from 109 in Shibuya, Tokyo =). Anyways I ordered mantou with cream milk. And off I went to the nearby cd store to jot down horror movies worth checking out at Wikipedia. It's one of my hobbies. I don't watch horror movies much (cos I don't do well with nightmares) but I am fascinated by them I constantly look up on horror movies in Wiki. I like reading about the deaths =). Don't worry, just a hobby. Willie ain't no psychopathy =). When I was done, my father was already at our table. Apparently he did something rude which I didn't find out until last night. I don't want to go into detail, I ALWAYS suck at explaining the cruelties of my father. The mantou there was good. Of course, my father HAD to go against it. He said it was unhealthy. Okay, whatever. Everything he recommends is good, and everything new I try is bad. Like I care. Actually I do. Hmm. 

Wow, I finally managed to digress. So after the tutor and Mynci went home, I had to go to Kuching for PBK. Ugh. I ditched my essay today, the teacher is too blur anyways. Which is kinda good actually. You can pick to write the essays which are decent and ditch those you don't like, he won't scold me. After all, I don't talk in class. No one to talk to. Pretty cold class. It wasn't like this back in grade school. Last time in tuition even when we were total strangers everyone would ease up to each other fast. Teenage life, sigh. Oh well, at least the Green Road girl sitting with me is beginning to warm up. My throat always feel stuck when I try speaking to her though. I hope everything's resolved by the end of the year. Or hopefully not. Then next year I can move on to Mr Willie's tuition with no regrets whatsoever. But if I DO manage to net myself some friends, I may stay in PBK. After all in PBK you can get 97/100 in essays. Serious. When it comes to marking essays it really all depends on the teacher marking it so don't be sad if your school teacher if you low grades. Some other teacher may just worship your essay! Let's positive thinking! Oh, talking about grades, I'm quite happy with myself this term =). My Maths shot up from 54 to 95. If only I got 59 in the first term exams, then my marks would be palindromic. Before I went off for PBK, I finished up Battle Royale's last two chapters. Sob, bye, BR! I will miss you! Currently looking for the original novel!

What did I do yesterday ~ I woke up abruptly thanks to my inconsiderate father who doesn't realize that people need more sleep. I couldn't get back to sleep, and instead of playing Knights in the Nightmare I went downstairs, switched on my PC. I spent most of the day watching Smile on Dramacrazy.net and Nobody Knows at the same time. I finally found the movie online. Don't worry, I don't entirely blame the class. That stupid teacher too. She DID know that she wasn't one of our teachers, right? Why show us a movie of hers which we know would not be finished in 2 periods? Crazy! I also actually logged into my supposedly-dead Facebook account out of boredom. 48 friend requests. Wow, crazier than that stupid crazy teacher. Sheesh, craziness these days. I'm Ken Amada on Facebook btw, not Williew or anything. That's why I had to accept 48 requests at a time =). Facebook hates Opera, so there are stuff I cannot do with my current browser, like, say, Mafia Wars, searching for apps or adding quizzes to my Page. I hope Facebook becomes more compatible with Opera soon. I may like it more. I tried playing Bubble Town. Very classic. Actually that was just a nice way of me saying, "What a Puyo Puyo/Puzzle Bobble rip-off!" But really, it does have its own ideas, like the walls bouncing off Borbs. 

On my way home from PBK, I also noticed a few houses that burned rubber, causing a tall pillar of black smoke rise up. Yeahhhhhhhhhh, maybe I was in Indonesia. *nudge* *nudge* Malaysians aren't really all that great and civilized, get real, know-nothings. There's a haze in West Malaysia now. Oh, I wonder what caused it. "Stupid haze from Indonesia"? I think not. Have you even been to Indonesia? Retard. Retard isn't a bad word, we have to learn it in Maths. Stupid dense commentators on haze who have serious retardation issues, geez.

I will try my best to keep up with consistent weekly updates. 

HeCuDePe

1. Knights in the Nightmare - This. It's also the must-use-stylus DS game I am currently playing. The learning curve is steep therefore I don't recommend it to Dawn. The story is pretty dark anyways. My current band of Knights includes Bonn, Oswald, Diora, Meryl, Reinhart, Giesche, Freiber and Hilgard.

2. Persona 3 - This.

3. Mana Khemia - This.

4. Gekkoukan - The elite private school you go to as main character of Persona 3. It's awesome.

5, 6, 7. Yosuke, Chie, Souji - Main protagonists in Persona 4, they wear glasses in battle (hence the coolness). Users of the Personas Jiraiya, Tomoe and Izanagi respectively. Souji can actually use any Persona, since he is the game's main character. Souji is his given name in the Persona 4 manga, there was never any real name given to him in the game.

8. Inspector Lunge - An eccentric, important character in the manga Monster. Read it, it's deep. I mean, c'mon, it's by Naoki Urasawa (author of 20th Century Boys), how can it not rock? Of course, 20th Century Boys is way better ..... obviously as it is even more popular than the rock song by T-Rex its name is based upon.

9. P4 - Persona 4.

10. Suikoden Tierkreis - The current non-stylus game I am playing on the DS. A spin-off of the original Suikoden series, with still 108 characters to recruit. My current party consists of Hero (named Williew), Sophia, Yod and Servillah (with Balsam as support character) all at Level 51. I'm near the end of the game , currently at the Rarohenga dungeon. I returned to HQ to rest after recruiting Zayin inside Rarohenga. I recommend this game to Dawn, it needs no experience in RPGs at all, the battles are too ridiculously easy (except when you get to Rarohenga), nice if not slow plot and you do not need to play previous Suikodens to understand this game. I mean, it's better than just revising in the weekends! For Sharon, get Suikoden and Suikoden 2 for the PlayStation. Even if you can't game now you can keep it until the year-end holidays. My favorite Suikoden game is Suikoden 2. 

11. Let's positive thinking - Catchphrase of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment's main character Maya Amano.

12. Battle Royale - Oh I love BR! BR starts as a novel by Koushun Takami on a government project where a class of students is sent to an island and they are forced to kill each other until one remains. It was later made into a manga, which bore a sequel (Battle Royale II: Blitz Royale) and also a live action film, which also bore a sequel (Battle Royale II: Requiem). Both sequels don't rock as hard as their prequels. I've watched the films, read the manga, now I'm hoping to chance upon the novel sometime soon. It's really awesome, and sadly you can't read it at OneManga. Go to this website instead. Beware, it may be deep, but there's nudity and gore. The gore is really cheap though. Ask Sharon. She saw Yutaka's head drilled through with bullets by Kiriyama. Not very scary actually. You just may at most be surprised since it's a manga. Well, tough luck, CuDePe. Manga isn't limited to stuff like Naruto. Talking about shonen battle manga, I'm addicted to Fairy Tail! It's pwntastic! And I like it that Katekyo Hitman Reborn finally realizes that it sucks as a comedy manga and is moving on to become a real battle manga.

13. Smile - A Japanese drama. You have to watch it. I mean, it's the first drama EVER which got me crying in the first five minutes of the FIRST EPISODE. And I cried two more times i nthe first episode. How good do you think it is? It is subbed and watchable for free.

14. Dramacrazy.net - A website that hosts countless asian dramas and movies (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese). Yes, you can watch Battle Royale and Battle Royale II: Requiem on that site. Don't worry, the films have hardly any gore.

15. Nobody Knows - The sad movie based on the affair of the four abandoned children of Sugamo. The movie is unappreciated and underrated ... here at least. I'm happy it got the awards it received. I don't like Shigeru, unlike Sharon who had finished the movie online. I think Susan finished it too. Damn, I wanna finish it myself. Awesome stuff. 

16. Puyo Puyo/Puzzle Bobble - Play Bubble Town in Facebook and you get the idea of both games. They already exist in arcades years ago. You can't find them in Hock Lee. But why play a puzzle game at an arcade anyways?
