立ち止まらない この針だけは Only this clock-hand would pierce through,
僕の明日を刻む音突き刺す the sound that engraved my tomorrows, unable to stop.
真実から逃げたら今 If I escape from the truth right now,
現実にも負けたら今 if I would even give up on reality right now,
何が残るの? just what would be left behind?

Read this in a book before, and I do find something weird and I do know the answer. It's quite freaky. =x Can you find something weird in the following story?
Once, there is a group of 4, who went to a hiking trip in winter. On their way back, there's a heavy snowstorm. One of the people of the group fell down the cliff. When the rest reached him, he's already dead. They carried their friend and continue on their journey. Due to the snowstorm is getting stronger by the minute, they decided to find a shelter to stay in till the snowstorm is over.
They found a wooden shack, and after placing their friend down, they found out that the shack has nothing, not even a single light source. With the decreasing temperature, they find it hard to stay awake.(Basically if you sleep, most probably = death) So they made up a plan.
Each of them would stay in one corner of the house. And they would walk along the walls, to one of the corner, and tap the other person shoulder. The person who got tapped on would stand up and walk, while the person who tapped him would sit in his place. This would prevent everyone from sleeping.
this cycle went on and on, until dawn arrived. All of them survived, and brought their friend who had a mishap down the mountain.
The event was over, yet one people in the group find it weird.
What is the thing, that the person find it weird?
Clue: Their method of surviving the snowstorm. There's something really weird.
Personally I prefer Orange more than Silky Love. But most importantly,...this anime really do contain nice songs for my keeping (: Although I didn't really like pre-parade that much. ._."
Off to read Kindaichi comics! I'm currently addicted to it. It's just one of my favourites pastime to watch kindaichi live action on tv (Every sunday I still rmb but now it's already history D:) and the cartoon at a extinct channel (I forgot alr)...and now comics! thr first time I came into contact with kindaichi comics is sec 2. I still rmb CCSS got their comics LOLOL.
Anyone selling Shadow Hearts or Shadow Hearts: Covenant?!
I'm buying itttttt.
Somehow I feel sad that I didn't buy it when it's released, and only hunt for it when it's almost extinct. (Shadow Hearts is released in 2001...wth 8 years leh!)
I did mention about getting this game, and guess what? I didn't make the wrong choice. It gives me a reason to pick up my NDS again. (After the Phoenix Wright Series! Gyakuten Kenji is coming! Edgeworth!)
Back to topic. The World Ends With You is actually about a emo-boy called Neku. Anti-social. He suddenly woke up in Shibuya's scramble crossing, with no memories of what happening...and he found out a pin, got attacked by monsters, and a annoymous message saying:
Reach 104. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure.
After that, he meets a girl, Shiki, and makes a pact with her. He found out that he's dead, and he's in a "Game", where he must survive seven days to get a second chance in life. The rest, find it out yourself! (:
The gameplay is quite strenuous for me because I am a control freak. Lol. Basically the battle system is, you and your partner both battle noise (Monsters in the game) and erase it. Neku, at the bottom screen and your other partner at the top screen. Although you could set you partner to "battle themselves" <- [AI AI alert.], but I rather depend on myself so I am forced to multi-task haha. But this type of battle method is quite new to me, basically it's the first game I played that uses this battle format.
Direction controls in battle is quite basic, stylus for bottom screen and directional buttons/ABXY buttons for top screen. Getting the hang of it isn't quite hard.
In addition, how do you battle? You use pins. Pins with special powers, you level up different pins with different methods. Battle, Reboot (The time you didn't on your NDS), and mingling (Wireless communication).
Storyline: Basically it's a common storyline for an RPG in it's own way (MC being dead, try to survive, meets someone precious, a deserved ending), except that the place being used is actually Shibuya, the shopping heaven in Japan. The bustling crowds, trendsetters, messaging and calls through cellphones, burger joints and shops, it just seems like it's Shibuya on its own. It's really hard to mingle with reality in this game, and this game does it quite well.
Music: The soundtrack in this game. One word could describe it. ROCKS. (: Most of the songs have vocals in it, and it's quite pop with a little rock. The songs actually does potray the bustling, crowded streets in Shibuya well. I particulary like some of the voice-overs (NEKU!), but I don't fancy the way Beat screamed when he's in shock.
Graphics: It's 2D for storyline and semi 3D for gameplay. How do I describe this...but when I started playing, I actually loved the graphic, as opposed to what my friend said. It actually brings out a different way of admiring it whenever I see those graphics. Beats me.
It's definitely a replayable game, because of quite alot of stuffs to complete post game, and I'm currently at post game. If you're a real hardcore gamer and into completing everything (100% in every segment), then this game would take alot of time from you! Basically I'm already getting 80% in collection of monsters and items, but the few items at post game is too hard to get. ): For pins it's only a miserable 50%. T_T
Conclusion : A must get for RPG gamers for the novelty of the gameplay, and the storyline. For me, I loved Neku alot. Because he's an emo-guy turned to non-emo guy. (: Another reason for getting it is the post-game stuffs. I actually tried collecting everything and I ain't done yet. It's been 2 weeks...ARGH.
And this ends my review. ): But I enjoyed writing it! (:
OH! And the ending theme is nice. Lullaby For You. (:
The world does not ends with you...it begins with you!
Saw a certain blog post that makes me feel guilty. Haha. Haven't been sleeping well lately because of some stuffs that keeps popping out in my head. I think I need my mum being there as a listener again. I shall bother her after CNY since she's quite huffed over CNY. (Seriously! She wishes our family won't be in SG during CNY. Because...the usual stuffs happens over CNY.)
Like being said, last year because I was sick and therefore I spent CNY at home munching pineapple tarts and barbecued pork. (Of course without my parents knowledge! If not die already hahaha.) My dad was mad at me for weeks. WTF. Then everyday not happy here not happy there yadda yadda. So this year, no matter how, I must also crawl go. (Analogy only.) Okay time for happier stuffs.
God I wonder why must there be CNY? Although I know, yes, you get to me those relatives that you haven't seen in a year, talk abit, chitchat abit.
I totally loooooooooove CNY. With the goodies and all, *cough* money *cough*, when I'm a kid. I wasn't that enthusiastic anymore when I'm old. (18 years old is already counted as old. My mum says so.) Quote: “十八嵗好命的話，早就結婚生子了。” Seriously lol.
It's totally a chore to go through CNY lately. (Although I still love CNY. Holiday, tidbits, money, house visits, who doesn't?) Reason: Every year the same drama. I think I've said it before, but just let me rant. RAWR. Iie bitex euux.
"Got girlfriend already anot?" "How's your studies? You know, my daughter recently go into X! You know?! That school!" etc, etc, etc.
Apparently I know it's the time to brag if you get good stuffs over the year, but sometimes it just get dull. But never mind. Three days. Can get through it! Okay I've finished ranting. Onto the daily stuffs.
Today episode of Ghost Whisperer is damn touching. (: Ahhh why do I like watching such scenes! Sob sob. Sometimes not remembering some stuffs might make our life a lil tad better. What being said in the show is quite true.
"What if you remembered that who you are before, isn't the person you'd want to be?"
"Maybe it's better if I don't remember anything about my past, and just go on with life."
Sigh. Time to emo again wtf which I am trying hard not to. Wahaha. Which is good in a sense cause...I am not! Happily singing. (: Everyone's sleeping and dad's not at home so double yay for me! Total freedom. ^^
Which makes me remember it's only 2 more days to CNY, and I haven't been doing any real spring cleaning at all due to: 1.Procrastinating 2.Laziness 3.The World Ends With You 4.Drowning in animes. I totally love Nagasarete Airantou! Tonkatsu~
Guess I'll have to spend tomorrow cleaning up. Time to clean my room, place books into their respective shelves. Oh and cleaning up some memorable stuffs. Stuff it in one little corner of my room. I should get a box for that.
舊的不去，新的不來。 該忘記的，就忘了吧。 該放手的，就放吧。 該紀念的，就珍惜吧。
I wonder what stuffs would I find tomorrow during spring cleaning. Maybe I should post it up. Oh! And the picture Junhui have been waiting for, I might post it up tomorrow since I'm cleaning stuffs anyways. I'm trying to find some pieces of paper...but I wonder will I find it?
I just hope I can get at least $150 for this CNY!! Haha because I know the recent economy sucks alot. I also found out, my NDS can only be traded for $30-$50. How sad is that! Haha. NDS Lite! You're so close to me...
Gonna stop here. I have a sudden urge to draw. Haha. Maybe I should. But before that, lemme get a bath! Muahaha.
Happy CNY ppl! Good Luck for your semester exams too!
Hmm. I wanna try cooking...especially after eating almost a week of outside food which contains MSG. But I can only cook instant noodles and pasta. Seeing those nice recipes...makes me feel motivated to learn. I wanna try making sea-salt ice cream too! Imagine the saltyness in vanilla...*heavenly* I do feel that vanilla is too sweet to be nice actually. A little salt might make it taste better?
Ok. I'm gonna learn cooking from my mum. Going to start my revision after CNY. In the mood already...shucks.
I got it! (: Found it in Eastpoint hahaha.
Maybe I should use my CNY money to...trade my old DS for a DS Lite. DS Lite seems more...cool in terms of design and it's much, much, lighter than the original NDS.
I think I might drop by the library tomorrow. Currently interested in blood types and genetics stuffs. Wooo I'm super interested in rare blood types. Since only 1 in a 1000 will inherit the rare blood type. (:
Lesson learnt. Take things the way it comes, face it, and never fear. Everything will be solved. Oh well. The mood is over, time to face Chinese New Year!
Woke up with a groggy mood. (Although I am not the low blood pressue group), I have a bad morning temper if someone wakes me up. Went back to sleep in 5 minutes.
Yet being woke up by my mum. 气死我了！
So I woke up, slumped in my room for 2hours playing Hellgate London. LOL. Marksman reached lv8, and I'm going out to buy lunch, help my sis collect her hp. (Seriously how bad Sony Ericsson phones can get?)
Star Ocean: The Last Hope! Woots. March. I shall wait till then...
Sigma Harmonics. I really wonder when will an english version will be released for this...cause the game seems fun.
Thinking of that missed opportunity makes me go...argh. ): I seriously need some motivation for me to start running in the park. Because...
1.Whenever I run I come back with mosquito bites. 2.Can you believe that there's tons of big red ants in the part? GOODNESS. I remembered seeing the wooden bench full of big red ants wtf. 3.The bad experience of having ants inside my shoes after running...enough said.
ARGH I FEEL SO SICK OF THAT GARDEN. Yet I don't wanna spend money going gym. Haha.
-Moods come and go~ yet memories stays.-
P.S.: So lazy to blog hop, yet I want an update from my friends, doesn't it sound ironic?
P.P.S: Don't watch Seven Pounds. It's boring in a sense, and I almost slept when only 30 minutes of the movie passed. Actually, I didn't understand the story until...an hour later. Haha. First time a Will Smith movie that I didn't enjoy.
I didn't know that this blog would survive that long! 600 posts and still counting! *grins*
Neku from TWEWY ^^.
I finally got my Gyakuten Saiban Artbook! *drools* I might scan into my desktop (Seriously my desktop is dying in a sense.) The result of massive consumption of pineapple tarts is sore throat with a fever. >_>"
I bought new clothes and pants already! I went with the zippable pants, which can be treated as long pants or 3/4 pants whenever I like it. I really love love love Parkway Parade. Now if only I had shoes to go with it...
What I want now is...
The World Ends With You. It looks fun...and all...makes me wonder why I didn't get this game earlier. (It is released during last year April)
Oh well. I shall just hope that I could find this game. (:
This is something I thought, and wondered.To say it plainly, I'm a guy who's attracted by what love provides me, yet feared when love is gone, what will it leaves me with.this is what I called, the half-hearted attitude. I wanted to dive into it, yet I'm scared when I'm too deep, I couldn't move on.I couldn't leave. I couldn't let go. Yet I wanted to try loving once.But, what is the act of loving?
Being to sacrifice your life for her? Being to sacrifice your time for her? Being to place her first? Being there whenever, wherever she needs you?
To me, love isn't like that.
Not sacrificing my life for her, doesn't mean that I don't love her. Not sacrificing my time for her, doesn't mean that I don't care for her. Not placing her first in my heart, doesn't mean I don't give a damn about her. Not being there when she needs me, doesn't mean I'm heartless.
It's all circumstantial.
To most people, that must be defined as heartless. *gives a serious thought* Yes, I have never really been into a serious relationship. That's why I find all of the acts people did is real silly.
But from all I've seen, love can actually be said as a locked and frozen window in winter. One of you at each side, facing each other.The glass get foggy, both people must take the effort to wipe the window to see each other. If not, then no one can see each other.
I don't think I need to explain much.What I could see is that, both people must really put in the effort in order for it to work.If it's only one people putting the effort into this relationship, it's just like that theory above. It wouldn't work out.
Nya~
Maybe one day I'd fall in love again, and I'd see it through. But for now...I'll just be the bystander and notice everyone around me.
Gosh, the CNY thing is getting me. Since Sec 3, every year, I'd be asked that question. Which I hate! HATE HATE HATE! ARGH.
"Are you attached already?"
Stop asking! Because if I am, I'll let you know when I want to!!
I let the things I read, the things I see affected me too much. That's why I had great expectations from love.Reality and imagination, when mixed together, makes me feel hard to fall in love.Because, whatever I read, happy endings make me feel happy.Yet I know, being in a relationship doesn't meant that it will be a happy ending.
Doubts will definitely appear, but somehow, there's only one big doubt. If I just know that answer to that."Do you love me for who I am? Or are you only seeking me as a company because you're lonely?""Because you need companionship? Because everyone around you are attached?""I will put in effort, but will you?"
Haha. Apparently, those I like don't like me. Only one. Which is gone.Maybe, someday...It will come visit me again? Love! ^^ But for now...
Hmmmmarghhhhhhhh~----
Above is just the yearly affair where my mood goes down down down because of family meetings. Haha.
Yeah~~ Now it's Maria-sama ga Miteru (aka Marimite) turn~
OP: Kukui - Chizu Sanpo (Most people actually think that Pastel Pure would be the OP of this anime again, but nope~ and I actually do prefer this OP. Seems more...lively. Aren't High School Girls supposed to be lively in a sense? =p)
ED: Kaori Hikiti - Kumori Garasu no Mukou (The ED shows "more than friendship" pics, if anyone is disturbed by that thoughts, please don't look thank you. You have been warned ^^) But seriously I don't sense that in that anime any longer >_>"
