Run For Your Life

This post is more like a notice rather than an update. Okay, the main thing here is: I was in Kuching during the day to retrieve my new 8GB Kingston pendrive from Sharon which she purchased for only RM48 and also shop for games. I netted myself 6, but in the end I still fail to find Dokapon Kingdom (ENG). There is the JPN version in Crown Plaza but since the ENG version is supposed to be out for purchase already I don't see the point of playing the JPN one. Persona 4 was a wholly different case ... it was a long wait between July 10 and December 9, so duh, I'd play the JPN version first since I really can't wait anymore - Master LL and the others are already playing it before I bought it. FYI, Master LL is one of the most famous gamers on YouTube who upload their gameplay vids. Gotta love the lot for sharing - since some of the games are those I may never get to play anytime soon, e.g. Eternal Sonata or Tales Of Vesperia. Anyways, I have nearly nil time to blog! TAR's coming up in a few minutes even though I've already found out about the results - *SPOILERS* Terence & Sarah are finally out! *SPOILERS END*. And to compensate for no gaming during the day, I will be gaming tonight. And since the photo-uploading will consume a lot of time, I don't think I can make it. Well, for those lazy to read long posts, feel free to take my vacation in Jakarta as a breather since I'd most likely only be able to post short updates since I will use up most, if not all, of the daytime for shopping and having fun in theme parks et cetera. Oh yeah, I hate shopping for clothes, but I never really did specify, yes? Pants/Trousers/Jeans/Shoes are so irritating, but when it comes to shirts, it's easy. Today I got two new shirts, courtesy of Esprit ... well, I never thought I would be buying shirts, but my sister bugged my mother to go to The Spring ... so yeah, at least I ain't buying books this time. Actually I still have quite a lot of books from MPH which are yet to be finished. About the shirts, one is white, the other black with shades of pink (...) and gray. I prefer the former for its sketchy design (me likey!). I also saw a few of those really old farts at Mango. They either do cross-dressing as a hobby or have wives who follow their tastes. IMO women prefer to shop for clothes with other women instead of men. Hmm ... interesting. My mother said they are buying clothes for their mistresses. Possible. A strategist never ignores any possibility unless given evidence that it is impossible to occur. All my sister wanted was a meal at Sushi King really, though I pressed on going to Food & Tea since it's more economical and I am taking a break from Japanese food. Anyway it seems the menu has been updated again with new food. I tried the Egg-Mayo. It has a miniscule amount of roe on it, and I guess that's okay ... too much roe bugs me sometimes. It's quite tasty ... I think it will become another one of my faves. The croquette's been there since opening day, but this is the first time it's actually in stock, so obviously I ordered it. It's quite good, but if only there's ketchup, it would be better. Sadly there's only wasabi and soy sauce available. I tried the Oyako-don (IIRC) which was AWFUL. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT even think about trying it. In case you will be going to Sushi King in the future, thank me for being your voluntary lab rat.

What games did I buy? Well ... um ... let's start with the three games I am greatly anticipating to try out:

Resident Evil 4
Monster Lab
Yakuza (yes, I actually played the sequel first)

I saw a bunch of sleazy boys looking at both of the Yakuza games at Crown Plaza. They were like, "What's so great about this? Got tattoo only nia." Oh my, that must be my first line of broken English in my blog. Anyway, I can't stand these lousy low-rate gamers who just diss a game without knowing anything. Okay, even if the game is bad, realistically 
speaking, I doubt those jerks would actually get themselves a tattoo as elaborate as Kazuma's (the box art shows his back's elaborate tattoo). Hmm. The other half of the games I bought are merely for multiplayer purposes:
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
Mortal Kombat: Deception
Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Oh my, Most Wanted is my first NFS game, and I rarely play racing games, so pitch in any tips if you can! I just hope my buddy will like it. I have nearly no interest in it ... but whatever, I'll give it a try. These days we've started on One Piece: Grand Adventure again ... thankfully our skills didn't deteriorate much. We played Tournament Mode 3 times ... with me being reigning champion. I still remember the finals!
1st Tourney: Mihawk (Me) VS Shanks (Him)
2nd Tourney: Kuina (Me) VS Usopp (CPU) (My friend's Chopper was beaten by this Usopp)
3rd Tourney: Ace (Me and I won't use the ENG dub's name for Ace) VS Zoro (Him and I won't use Zoro's ENG dub name either)
OP: GA is my favorite anime-based fighting game. It's just awesome. Wait, since when is anything not connected to One Piece ISN'T awesome? According to the recent Oricon charts on manga, the highest rated manga is One Piece, not Naruto. Naruto isn't even in the Top 10. That's reality. Naruto is rubbish. But at the same time, my beloved JJBA isn't on the list either! Well, at least it doesn't mean that it's worse than Naruto. Phew.

p. s. My flight has been altered from the 20th to the 21st!

Even A Dog Wouldn't Eat This

I could've blogged more last night but a blackout occured at about 12 midnight. I think the last thing I typed about was concerning swimming. Oh yeah, the blister on my toe. I think my toe hit the tiles on the poolside several times as I jumped into water. Either that inflicted the blister or me climbing up to the poolside, which takes quite a lot of effort since I'm heavy. Swimming was a painful ordeal last night, and thankfully it's the last for this entire year. Next year, I'm finally having 1-hour classes instead of the usual 2-hour, since I'll be having a Maths tuition directly after it next year. Damn, I really dislike going to Maths tuition. It's so quiet since the students alienate themselves from each other, and Maths is such a dull subject I usually end up asleep, forcing me to take a Red Bull or a Livita before tuition. I really don't see how I would have the strength to go to tuition after the strainous swimming class next year. Blame the tuition teacher, who intends to switch the class from Wednesday to Friday. Ugh. Do I still have to take Maths tuition after 9th grade? Hopefully not, as that'll really wear me down.

Yesterday I went for a shopping craze before swimming. After school ended, I had to wait 1 hour for my car to arrive, but thankfully there was Jack and William to play the 2-player game, Table Tennis For 2 on my iPhone with me. It was fun, applying the concept of gravity into table tennis! However both of them left 
earlier than me, but thankfully the wait after that wasn't too long. I guess. After changing with the clothes my mother brought, I went to The Spring. I needed to shop for a pair of sports shoes and
trousers, self-help books and James' dad's jacket. I tried out Parkson and Nike for the sports equipment. Found none. Ah, I guess I'l just use my school shoes, and later on my mum told me she has called my father over in Hong Kong to get me the trousers, which he accomplished. Okay, he bought me something I want. So what, it won't be enough to redeem himself.  I checked out MPH for the self-help books ... I was actually looking for just two, one to 
build charisma and another to build fitness. While browsing the sea of books I met Jesmond-kun from 2D and Eon-chan from 2B. Am I fated to only stumble into aliens (as in people I don't know), instead of those I know or want to meet? After looking through a lot of books (by that, I mean seriously lots of them) in both 
BM and English, I finally found the book Fitness For Men. Actually I found another book earlier than that one, which is one similar to building charisma ... it is to help people understand and overcome their phobias. How my brain perceived the entire thing: Overcome phobias = more courageous = more charisma. I haven't really overcome any of my many phobias yet, but I did do diving without hesitation later that day. I guess it was the cause of my two main motivations *cough * Willie and QQ *cough *. Partly for myself, duh. After that I went to F.O.S. to look for the jacket as James 
himself recommended. That was the first time I've been there, and wow, for once, I enjoy shopping for clothes. There, everything came moderately cheap and doesn't fall into the LQ category. I think I 'll buy jackets from there starting now onwards. I really wanted the jacket I bought for James' dad. It was big! Comfortable! Cozy! Classy! Casual! Soft! It's a white Nautica jacket ... from what I felt I think the fabric's either wool or cotton. I really want a wool sweater like Ken's which is plain with cream and orange dabs. But then again my body's too big to look like Ken's lean-cut figure. Wait, he IS just an 8-years-old kid. Isn't he? Correct me if I'm wrong, Eugene. Ken joining SEES was way back then, in December '07. And I think that was the only time his age was mentioned. Or so I think. I went to Food & Tea for lunch though my mother insisted on the food court. I don't really like the food court - it's noisy, crowded and unpractical IMO. On my way to the avant garde kopitiam, I saw Danielle Basiuk-senpai on her phone. I just hurriedly walk past. Talking about her, there was a scene concerning her dad which Sharon and I poked fun at. During the assembly in the morning, when Ms Vivian (is it Vivian?) called out for Ms Anne to give out the prizes to the primary kids, she was still on her couch with her right leg on top of the other like some S&M queen flirting with the married man beside her (as Sharon said, which I agreed), Mr Robert Wayne Basiuk. That was the first time my Hawkeyes didn't recognise a person, it was Sharon who told me that it WAS Mr Basiuk. So basically, Ms Anne was some whore who needed people to summon her several times on MICROPHONE to actually respond, possibly because Ms Vivian is a teacher and the former looks down on the latter and prefers to spend more time with a Eurasian (correct me if I'm wrong) stud. Either that or she was attacked by MiuMiu's (Miulla Miuchar in full) Stand, Jailhouse Rock which can make people
only able to remember 3 things at a time, rendering Ms Anne to forget her own name. Then again, her sense of hearing may have been severely rusted. Aww, that's so sad. That's enough for the usual side-subject. I really like Food & Tea's plethora of food. I had diced chicken in creamy mayonaise 
(it's the only unhealthy food I can't stop myself from eating) with rice ... that dish came with free soup and dessert. But I still ordered ala carte dessert - Mango & Yam Tong Sui (literally, "Sugar Water"). The mango part wasn't very good. Next time I better just have the Yam one, though it's pricier. I had a fruit cocktail as my drink - it's called Purple Rain, and IMO I think it's either blackcurrant or grape. This time round, I spent less than the previous experience. I think it was only RM30 this time instead of RM32. Anyhow, Dawn's group spent more, around RM90 IIRC. But her group does have more people. After The Spring was Tun Jugah time! I obviously sped for Hong Kuok 99 
(games! GAMES!!!) while my mother went to a boutique directly underneath the game store (Sui Sian ... "Water Fairy/Deity/Whatever"). The 2B group was there, but I only remember Joshua and Kolly among them. I bought 4 games: Namco X Capcom (JPN), JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (JPN), Wild Arms: Alter Code F and a party game based on Shrek. Also, I've got SILENT HILL 2. HarharharharharharhartakethatJordanTeng ... *chokes * * cough * ... I think one of the 2B boys bought a PSP game. There was SMT: Raidou Kuzunoha VS Abaddon Tai-Ou (JPN) already but I didn't purchase it due to the crappy cover, even though I am now ok with JPN games. Today since I can game already, the two JPN games I bought were way stellar compared to the English two which were quite lame (okay, not WA: ACF). WA: ACF just felt repetitive and the graphics were clunky. I wanted to get RE4 this time. Unfortunately, the shop's out of RE4. I even read many guides about the game the night before. Never mind, I'll just try out other stores. I can't find Dokapon Kingdom and Monster Lab, despite the fact that they are supposed to be released more than a month ago. Namco X Capcom was fast-paced and engaging, while JJBA: PB was just being JJBA and it provided tons of fan-service! My love for JJBA is as deep as the girls' craving for Twilight. IMHO Twilight is fairly normal and isn't worth the overrating, no offence to the worshippers. Or maybe it's just me being a boy. Wait, it could be that part of me who isn't really fond of teen romance ... I go for the daddy-mommy romances. At Tun Jugah while texting I also saw 4 boys from assorted classes ... I only remember Kyc and Vernon. Concerning Hong Kuok 99, there was a new staff I haven't seen before yesterday. He kept wheezing and sniffing I really disliked standing there while browsing games. After I've confirmed the games, he just fanned out the games on the counter. I was O_O for a while, then he asked me if I need a plastic to which I answered yes. He took out a small plastic bag and slapped it on the counter. I tried to 'inflate' it but before I was done, the cashier which was one I know and commonly chatted with, finally asked the new guy why he didn't put the games in for me. Seriously, that's one horrible worker. Where's the staff supervisor? Where's the guy's common sense? After TJ was Hock Lee where I finally caught up with Dawn's crew. But rather than being with them I went for the arcade alone. It was fun, but later I realized I was late for class. Oops. Only after swimming did I deliver the jacket to James' house. Wow ... it's huge. The house, not the jacket.

Operation SNANTI is currently progressing smoothly. Gotta resume on my book now before it's 11.

Take Me Home, Concrete Road

Badadadadum ..... I won't be crazy over the passing of exams ... as you can see with most other bloggers. Not
like I want to stray away from the stereotypical crowd, I just seriously think that things are as boring as ever. And I didn't actually studied at all during the exams. My results are pretty decent, so I guess if I studied I
might have aced everyone (Except PE, heh). But I can't. I just get all drowsy and sleepy the moment I start revising.

I don't know if there's actually anything interesting these days. Currently, my life is pregnant with boredom. I think it's about to deliver though, so I guess I can wait ... I'll just spend my days reading ... more reading ... exercising ... MOAR exercising ... Sorry if I'll infect you with my ennui. My weight hardly decreased ... *sigh* I'd be so happy if I even manage to get to James's level ... I'm too lazy to go through what new stuff I learned in swimming ... boo ... I guess I am just losing the mood. Why can't anything EXTRAORDINARY happen!? Let's see a few that could just get me so pumped up!
1. An earthquake hits! This is so impossible! If it does then it'll be like a real-life Disaster Report!
2. My idol celebrating my 14th birthday with me! That's ... fantastic!
3. A tsunami strikes! I save Willie Liew first, run later. Damn, I doubt that I'm the one saving him.
4. This world is fake! The real world is actually like something out of a RPG! Sadly, it's not!
5. I have the power of my imagined Stand, Aqua Timez!
6. I won a trip to Japan! I'd go so crazy ... I don't know if I'd even be able to get on the plane ...
7. Willie Liew turns out to be my biological father! That's like so superawesomeWOW!
Eh, what am I ranting about?

Williew used to sound weird. But over the course of time, everyone basically got used to it ... and now it sounds just like any other name! Wi-liu. Doesn't strike me as strange anymore. If there's Willia, why not Williew? It's just like when I first played Tales of Legendia. Senel is a name so unorthodox, I thought it sounded dumb. Then I guess I kind of like it. Talking about names ... I have to admit, I don't really like the name Willie. When it is mentioned, people just automatically perceived the name as being gay. Not like I think that way as well, it's just that the name sounds ... weak. In a way. I've never really thought about my own name though. Wilson. Uh ... I guess it ain't that bad. In my opinion it sounds better than Willie. Though having an English name is better than nothing. I'll pick up the names of my classmates that I like. Actually I only find some of the girls' names stand out. Dawn, Jocelyn, ... yeah, I guess that's about it. The others are fairly common. For teachers, me liketh ... none. Aww booooo (Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to speak like Anise Tatlin ... scary). Though I guess Camillus is a pretty rare one. But it doesn't create quite the smooth resonance I like with names such as Dawn's. IMO, the 'Cam' in front ruined it. Despite having a not-so-favorable name himself, Mr Willie sure knows how to name his girl. Amber Liew. Eh, not bad. Though I'd prefer Ember Liew, though 'A' seems more feminine than 'E'. Mainly because I'd prefer a daughter not associated with insects ... fire is probably better. Perhaps she may even grow into someone hawt! Well, it seems fairly likely, given the genes ... but for the (possible) next child I think my idol should dispose of the excess fat. As you can see, Dawn, I don't get 
writer's block mainly because I can easily draw something new to write about from something I am already writing. I wonder if Vikutoria-chan bears this capability as well. Oh yeah, the international 11-year-old novelist is called Xygarathma Lebibi. I am yet to read her book but I think I should pick it up quick ... IIRC there are very few copies left in MPH. It's very thin though, probably even thinner than Victoria's kids' books, and the font size is like ... whoa, big Papyrus! And she fills up a lot of space with her own illustrations ... however, seriously, her words and story are deep. 
I flipped through a few pages while in MPH ... and no doubt, Lebibi-chan is an unpolished gemstone (I'd be glad to polish it)! I'd be glad to read Victoria's works and rank her level, however I don't see her books anywhere at all ... while Lebibi-chan even has a sign with a headshot of her in MPH. If Victoria's jealous, she can always blame LimKokWing University for publishing it here! Leave me out of the catfight, I'd rather stay back to a cozy duvet and read Haruki Murakami's books! They're like ... sublime. They're full of subtle, enticing metaphors. Japan ... is totally amazing. It slams the world in its face with the animation 
and video game industry, but I seriously never thought they'd reign supreme (who knows?) in the literature field as well. I guess that's no surprise. Japan is win! Whoa ... this paragraph ... from names to books! *hollering to Thomas Alva Edison in who-knows-whichever-corner-in-the-depths-of-the-Netherworld* Inspiration isn't just 1%!

Whoa, thank goodness we actually got the school magazine today! Or else it'd really tarnish the reputation of Chrono Lodge for reporting false news ... IMO, I like the cover design more than last years. Scrapbook designs FTW! I didn't win a single thing ... talk about ... nevermind ... however I must comment ... Mr Willie sure looks awesome in that tux ... wait, who DOESN'T look impressive in a tux? Formal clothes have always been my favorite! They have the magical power to instantly spice up the hawtness and sexiness factors, unless you are yet to realize this common fact. Also, after observing over and over, I seriously CANNOT see how people can argue 
about my role model being the best-looking male teacher out of all 4 branches of Lodge schools. Ranked second is Mr Kenny ... eh, then again, it's not like there's much choice ... aside from Willie and Kenny the others are pretty much ... hmm, my blog prefers to avoid sensitive things *thumbs up*! Mr Kenny is too young to be a good father, IMO. Experience is a both a necessity and a commodity in this matter! Added to the fact he's too skinny and lanky ... boo, Janna. The school magazine still doesn't show English essays by Secondary students though. How unfair ... right, not like I am the Champion again this year. So I don't really care. Darn, I really wished for once I can be reigning champion in something at the very least. This year I didn't even net myself Consolation for Essay Comp.! Yosh, hopefully next year I can take back my throne from Daniel's hands. He had already won too many prizes anyway. Big deal, the Champion prize of the English Essay Comp. ... darn, I seem like some jealous freak ... I mean it shouldn't matte rmuch to him to just let go of this one thing. Oops, that would be an unfair competition. Guess I will just have to strive harder to prove my mettle to him ... maybe it's just me, but he's always been putting up that intimidating look in his eyes ... doesn't he realise it's just ... absurd? It was since we first met ... oww, city people are so weird ... man, whatever. Well, not like Victoria won anything either. The good thing for her is that she got one special exclusive page featuring her 
as the star. Whoa. Even Erika Kong did not get such a thing. *imitating Joseph Joestar* Tch! Tch! Tch! *wags finger* Just you see, I'd be like Shizuku Tsukishima, and yes ... me in my own page! The enjoyment! And I'd make it a page worth splurging ink and time and sinews of war on. Shizuku-chan, you really motivated me! To all readers confused as to what I am talking about, I will post about it in my next update.

My class is comprised of several 'groups' of people. My classmates are very nicely grouped together into a few categories.
The Backstreet Boys - Bunch of stereotypical teenage boys on the roll for online games and porn.
The Spice Girls - Bunch of modernized girls crazy with celebs, fashion and all the elite stuff.
The Dancing Queens - Bunch of people who stays back and gossip and dance too much.
The Michaels Learning To Rock - Bunch of aspiring musicians with all the kewl instruments and attend music classes.
The My Chemical Romances - Bunch of boys more hooked up with cameras and techno gizmoes than girls.
The Outkasts - People who just don't quite fit ... unique in their own way.
The Read-Or-Dies - Bunch of bookworms and hardcore students.
The Mirai Nikkis - Bunch of people involved in the blogging world.
The Newsboys - Bunch of people too free to spout out everything good about their religion.
The Aural Vampires - Bunch of wannabe emos.
Well, I am most glad that our class doesn't have ice queens or the like. I am categorised sporadically myself. Let's look into their daily vocabulary!
The Backstreet Boys - 'n00b', 'pro', 'suck', 'gay', 'boobs', 'dick', 'cock', 'fuck', 'shit', 'porn'
The Spice Girls - 'Ewwwww', 'kewt', 'hawt', 'sexay, 'handsome', 'yucks', 'ugh', '*squealing*'
The Dancing Queens - Normal vocabulary.
The Michaels Learning To Rock - 'guitar', 'piano', 'grade', 'pick', 'strum', 'drum', 'Lepo'
The My Chemical Romances - 'lens', 'flash', 'zoom', 'Alpha', 'Sony', 'Nikon', 'Canon', 'Photoshop'
The Outkasts - Depends on person.
The Read-Or-Dies - 'Twilight', 'Popular', 'library', 'notes', 'marks', 'exam', 'study', 'not free'
The Mirai Nikkis - 'blog', 'update', 'pictures', 'header', 'layout', 'lazy update', 'when u update'
The Newsboys - 'Jesus', 'bible', 'church', 'god', 'commandment', '*zealot's gibbering*'
The Aural Vampires - '*moaning*', '*groaning*', 'life is so boring ...', 'i wanna die ...', 'kill meh ...'
2A is a fun class!

I need my freaking sleep. It's 5 a.m. in the morning!
