"Did you hear? Alex, Nathan, Thomas and Samuel were killed on the job today."
"Dear me, we should find their traces and figure out what they were looking for when they got killed."
"The giants keep killing us. Why don't they understand we just want to build a city here?"
"Don't mind them, as long as the giants can't find out city, we can roam the lands as much as we want. We will find the food and resources we need to survive. It doesn't mater how many of us die, our Queen will do something about it and our race will strive!"
"Hoorah! Well said. Lets move out and scout around to find more places to expand our colony."
"Oh no! It's a giant! It's using something!"
"Help! Help us!"
"Save the babies! Save our future! Protect the Queen!"
And so the human killed the ants and destroys the nest. Once again, the human saves the day!
My kitchen is having ant problems lately. They're crawling around the sinks and there's always a single ant at our water jugs.

Trip Above The Clouds
Last Thursday I went to Genting Highlands with Wilson, Sim Yen, Kevin, Jia Ee, Lyan and Siow Yin. Chun Liang was supposed to join us but because of the semester break that isn't really a semester break, he had to stay back to work on our final project development.
The day started off in a rush hour. Our bus departs at 8.30am. Wilson and Sim Yen got to KL Central early and Wilson kept contacting me to keep updated on my situation upon reaching. I had planned to take the LRT from Kelana Jaya but my sister's schedule threw a wrench in my plans and I took the KTM from Subang Parade and made it in time but little did I know, the others were caught in the traffic jam and were late. Wilson had already got the tickets for the next bus so I had a chance to have breakfast while waiting for the others to come.
When everyone got here, we walked around a bit and then headed to our bus. Our trip begins! We were supposed to ride on the cable car up to Genting but it was out of service so we had to take the coaches up. We can only check into our rooms at 3pm so we dropped off our bags at the free storage and went to get our Outdoor Theme Park tickets.
The place wasn't so crowded because it was a weekday. The first ride we took was the swinging pirate ship, everyone was excited except for me because the swinging pirate ship is one of the nightmarish rides I ever rode. The shift of gravity and the absence of support on your back is crazy frightening to me. Wilson insisted that we ride on the last row but I didn't want to, still he got me on the second last row. Kevin, Jia Ee and Lyan sat on the opposite side at the last row. Obviously, I was screaming, crying and laughing out of shock the moment the ride started. Wilson said the veins in my head popped out intensely, I was obviously scared beyond my wits. Everyone on the ride was probably laughing at me, especially those on the opposite side, they saw my terrified expression (which looks funny as Kevin described). Now, I'm never ever gonna ride on any of those swinging boat rides.
We went to the famous little roller coaster ride next. Obviously, this ride is fine. I like roller coasters. So it was over with with joy. We went on the rotating swings next. Kevin didn't like this ride so he stayed behind and took pictures. After the ride, we continued on. Jia Ee and Lyan wanted to try the Space Shot, I actually wanted to go as well because I liked it but Wilson kept saying scary stuff that lead me not wanted to ride it. The rest of us went on the Ferris wheel instead. If you don't know me yet, I'll say this first, I fear Ferris wheels a lot. They are huge torture machines that dangle you in midair high above the ground, slowly. A slow torturous machine for those afraid of heights. Yeah, so it was my first Ferris wheel experience, and I was really scared at first, now, I guess it's okay. It wasn't so bad, probably because I was trying to not look out of the window most of the time. While riding in the Ferris wheel, the mist came in and it started to drizzle. Not thinking too much of it, we went to the Dinosaur Adventure ride but the rides were stopped for a while and it started to rain heavily. We took shelter at the ride's entrance before dashing back to the hotel.
We had some snacks at the indoor theme park or mall, whatever it's called. I tried the fried durian, it was great! We chatted for a while until the rain stopped and we went back out to the theme park to continue our fun. We proceeded to ride the go-carts and then the Cockscrew roller coaster. Compared to the first time I rode it with my mom, the roller coaster this time was kinda boring, I wanted to ride it again but the others didn't want to so oh well. We wanted to try more rides out but the theme park was closing already which surprised us because it used to close a lot later. With nothing left to do, we collected our bags and checked in to our room.
We first separated the beds into 3 so the seven of us have a place to sleep. After that it was bunch of lazing around and doing nothing. I had a short shut eye and then we had dinner, cup noodles, lots of cup noodles. After dinner we went out to walk around and enjoy the cool air after getting some drinks from Starbucks. We went back later and played card games late into the night. We went to sleep at around 3am.
We went back in the afternoon after breakfast. Why do all posts end like this? I also forgot about this post too, months late.

The Semester Break That Does Not Feel Like A Semester Break But Still Has The Essence Of A Semester Break
I've been having my semester break for about three weeks already and it doesn't really feel like a semester break but it still feels like one. Because we still have to work on our short film project and submit it every Wednesday and at the same time I'm playing games and reading manga. Now every night is Dota2 night with Kai and the others. I'm catching up with the manga I haven't been checking on every week and trying to catch up with the anime that I'm in the middle of watching. Still every day I'd face my assignment and stress myself out. When the next semester comes, I have a feeling it's gonna be busy and free at the same time like now.
Last week I attended the Bald On, Wax Off for Cancer and got my hair shaved with Wayne. Yay. End.

RANT
As we know, most anime are adaptions of a manga or novel series.
There are four results that come out of anime adaptions:
1) The anime adaption is good/great.
2) The anime adaption is okay.
3) The anime adaption sucks!
and rarely,
4) The anime adaption is excellent!
In recent time, most of the anime adaptions suck. Directors who take on to make an anime adaption tend to change parts of the original story from the manga or novel to "suit" animation tastes or fit the allocated anime episode time slots. Which destroys it. (Oh and most directors now pick ecchi mangas and novels because there are a lot of hungry insecure teenage boys out there)
One case which caused a lot of anger and hatred in me is my favorite series, Mirai Nikki. I couldn't bother to watch the anime because many years ago when the manga ended, I tried to get other people to read it and spark interest in them but because most people don't read manga, they shun my recommendation and when the anime came out, they became instant fans, which made me really pissed off.
But what am I on to right now? Thing is, there are differences between the Mirai Nikki manga and the Mirai Nikki anime. Out of all the things, one thing pisses me off a lot, and it was the change of Gasai Yuno's character. From the psychopathic murderous girl who loves Yukiteru, the anime portrayed her as a yandere who loves Yukiteru, thought the two characteristics sound the same, they are not.
Probably what pisses me off most is that fans label Yuno as the face of yandere. The anime Yuno's level of yandere is mediocre! Sure she is over-possessive but does not cut to be the face of yandere (I can't believe Wikipedia also used Yuno as a "good example"). In my opinion, Yuno is more psychotic than yandere.
Basically it all comes to me, hating Mirai Nikki anime fans because they treat Yuno as the queen of yandere. There are many others who are better yanderes than Yuno but because there's no anime adaption, they are not known. Bollocks.

Hard Disk Stress
Yeah, it's April Fool's Day but what happened is no joke.
I have a Seagate GoFlex external hard disk. I bought this brand because it was said to be great and works on both Mac and PC. But I once had a problem, a huge portion of files from my Assignments folder was corrupted when I accidentally pulled out the hard disk without ejecting it. I manage to save those files but there are still fragments of the corrupted files lingering in it which is only visible on my Mac and not visible on the PC.
Just today, all my Photoshop files for my final assignment due this coming Wednesday disappeared for no reason. I don't remember having any corrupt files or anything. I tried whatever solutions that does not require downloading some software but to no avail. On my PC, the folder is visible but empty, completely empty, properties show that it's 0KB, no hidden files, nothing. On my Mac, the folder is missing instead, there's a System Volume Information folder. I tried to see what's in it but also, nothing. What the hell happened?
This hard disk is almost full already so the new hard disk I plan to get will be something else. I'm sick of having problems with my hard disk. A hard disk is supposed to back-up your files but when the back-up files need a back-up, then it's pointless. I was so upset and stressed that it felt hard to breath. This is seriously fucked up.

Achievement Unlocked: Autograph Get!
Last Saturday I went to attend Animax Carnival 2013. At first I didn't intend to go but I had class on Saturday so why not? Sunway Pyramid is right next to my college so I decided to go then. Everyone close I know was going on Sunday because it's not open to public on Saturday, only Animax subscribers get to go in. I thought, "Oh well, I'll be going alone for a short while.".
It was until Friday that my lights lit up. Bryan tagged me in his friend's Facebook status saying that she has won a close-up tickets. The ticket entitles the person to get an autograph and a photo with her. She didn't want it because she wasn't a fan and she was just trying her luck with a friend for fun. I quickly got to contact her and the ticket was mine! The person told me that it comes in a pair so I can have a friend to get the VIP entrance. I realised I was going alone! I had to get someone fast to join in the joy! Denise couldn't make it so I called the next person I know who's not confirmed going, Amanda. Sure enough she could go so yeah.
Saturday after class and group discussions, I made my way into Sunway Pyramid and met up with the girl who was gonna give me her ticket. I got these goody bags and the tickets and they told me something about only one person can get the autograph and the autograph can only be signed on the mouse pad given in the goody bag. I got the stuff and then I tried to contact Amanda. We decided to meet at Subway to grab lunch.
I told Amanda about the happy occasion and because I wasn't that much of a May'n fan (but I knew about her before her huge fan from Macross Frontier) so I decided that Amanda can have the autograph session. Before I was done with my Subs, May'n performance started. I ushered Amanda to go to see her and passed her one of the tags and a goody bag. I finished my Sub and went to the place too. Honestly I wasn't sure what I was doing, I just went over to the VIP entrance and the personal there saw my pass and ushered me in. I could see Amanda up front watching the stage show but I couldn't get in front because of the stuff I was carrying (my bag and the goody bags which were huge) so I stayed back. The personal periodically came to inform us individually about getting ready to greet May'n. Because of the loud ambiance, I couldn't really understand what they were saying and I was clueless about the whole ordeal.
May'n finished her last song and her bonus giveaways (some limited edition stuff only people who went to her concept in Japan can get) to people who answers her quizzes. Then the Animax personal ushered us into a line, as clueless as I was, they put in in a line with some other people. Turns out we were put into colored tags. I didn't fully understand what it meant but I was gonna get on stage with the others to take a photo with May'n. After the photo session, May'n was gonna give us her autograph, we had our (Accel World) mouse pads out and we took turns to get her autograph. I notice Amanda at the bottom of the stage and I got confused but there was no time to think about it, I was next in line! I started to buckle up out of nervousness and my hands got sweaty. I went up to May'n and greeted her, after signing the mouse pad, we had a photo taken and I shook hands with her. As I left the stage, my vision went blur and I was overwhelmed with joy. It was the first time I ever got an autograph from a famous Japanese artist. I missed the chance with Kalafina last year. I was so happy I almost cried. Amanda came to get me at the bottom of the stage. As we went back to get our goody bags, I held and forced my tears back and recovered quickly.
Amanda was kinda down about not getting the autograph. She explained to me that I had the colored pass that entitles the holder the autograph. I would have given her the autograph but my extreme joy (and sudden shock of selfishness) held me back tightly. Sorry Amanda, greed took me over.
We spent the rest of the day going round and round the place chatting and taking photos and stuff, we also had some rest while eating Moo Cow frozen yoghurt. I didn't see a lot of people I know well at the event. And so I went back with a really precious gift out of luck.

So here it is, May'n's autograph. I am so happy.

The Confession
"Inside the charitable house two deprecating frogs speakers in silence.
Again with the floorboards the clouds roll across the ceruminiferous dreamscape,
Missing is the tale for physical appearance is visible to the invisible.
Anonymous influences dancing on grass fields and bicrescentic horse backs.
None is the meaning when windows dance around the badly charred water;
Yield the paperback anvil as it tortillas the hall with yarborough and baked goods;
Mandolins iron the xylophobic chicken along the board of zenzizenzizenzic equation;
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis disarms the yawning balalaika;
Had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect to it;
Oval octopuses open orange octagons operate on obsequiousness orphans;
Many eyes have many spies;
And that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is;
Nocturnal stones melt upon the contact of joyous solid air;
Igloos built above the invinsible swan lake in the pressense of molten fish gills;
Alas fart farts fart in the pure aroma of titan arums and raffelsias;
Cold options dissolve the time of spines and skiing top hats."
Alone no landscape to discover no geography no cave,
Only a right hand man and his long island,
So cold so hot,
So depraved,
Desire,
Insert key here,
Reach the skies,
Clouds to the atmosphere,
Become one,
Take the precious,
Rejoice.

With the money I saved up and the money I got during Chinese New Year I bought a 3DS. Finally, I guess I can start my Pokemon adventures all over again.

Jaw Torture
So I went for my oral surgery to remove a small part of my gums that's overlapping my wisdom tooth. It was okay while the anesthetic was still in. But now that it's gone, my jaw hurts like crazy. I'm here right now trying to eat some bread so I can take Panadol but it's like a torturous procedure. I can't open my jaw wide and it hurts with every chew. This somehow reminds me of a Happy Tree Friends scenario.
The surgery was quite an interesting experience, this would be the second time in my life to have go through oral surgery, the first time was when I was 10 to extract a tooth growing in between my two front teeth. I doctor injected the inside of my jaw and like a wave, my mouth went numb, even my tongue. I had my eyes closed during the operation because I was kinda scared of the tools they were using to cut off part of my gums. I didn't feel a thing and I was pleased about it. NOW IT HURTS LIKE CRAP! AHHHHHGGG!!!

At a Positive Look of the Unfortunate Event
It's been about a month since my Nintendo DS was stolen with my precious Pokemon White version and even though I have gotten over it, I still think about the incident before I fall asleep in bed. Obvious I get sad during those moments but a couple of nights ago I manage to see a brighter side of this misfortune. I have an unopened and untouched version of Pokemon Pearl. I can play that and get the 4th generation Pokemon first, also, I still have my Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon SoulSilver versions, after I transfer the items I need to the either game, I can replay that version to get more Pokemon. All I will be missing are a couple of legendary Pokemon, unique and no-longer obtainable event Pokemon and shiny Pokemon. Not bad actually. I can really start over again.
Sexy and Black
Guess who's the new family member in my house?
I'ts my brand new Dell Precision T1650!
It took me about 2 hours to clean my computer desk (which turned into a disaster during the time my PC was away) and set up and tidy the wires and stuff. Now I have just synced my Google Chrome (but it doesn't look like anything has changed) and I've just installed Steam and starting to install all my games.
I have rearranged the setting of my desk and so it's neat for now. I hope my family members won't mess this place up again (including myself as a matter a fact). The OS on this new desktop is Windows7 (thank god it's not Windows8!) and the desktop has got the college feel to it despite the smaller monitor screen.
Well, no time to waste!
I've got to haste!
Install some programs before I snore,
So my desktop will be just like before.

Visit to the Anthill
Yesterday my class had a field trip to Silver Ant studios. The studio is located at The Boulevard which was quite surprising to me. The company just moved to the block about 2 years ago, that was about when The Boulevard just launched.
We were welcomed by Raven (I don't know if that's how you spell his name). He first welcomed us and did a small introduction about Silver Ant, then he showed us around the place. First was the reception floor which consisted of a pool table, meeting rooms, library, gym, cafeteria and more. I have to say this first, the interior design is beautiful, it's modern Japanese themed mixed with some traditional touches. There is an impressive Silver Ant bust next to the reception counter and a fine collection of books at the library. The place is small but very nicely arranged to put all the places together.
One floor down the reception is the working studio. We got to have a look at the working environment but we were not allowed into it because of private and confidential stuff. We went back to the reception floor and into the little review room to watch Silver Ant's impressive demoreel. After that we went up to the N-Cube, which is Sliver Ant's management department, which is also called the boring department because of it's huge contrast of interior design to the bottom floor. There's a lot of meeting rooms and a mini cinema here, everything is cubic shaped, like minimalism. We watched some stuff in the mini cinema like the Seefood trailer and Silver Ant's current work, the Transformers Prime television series and the new KFC cinema rating clips.
Raven took us to the general meeting room and showed us the Transformers Prime workflow from pre-production to release of an episode stuff. We then had a Q&A session with some of the employees and after like an hour or more of questions and answers we finished the trip off with a group photo.
Silver Ant really appealed to me and I learned quite a lot of stuff about the animation industry. The competition here is quite high so if I were to try to land a job there, I most probably won't with my average skills, also, I would go as a CG modeler but it looks like they need animators more than modelers. I might try to sign up for the internship program. End of the day, the trip was a good experience.
We were welcomed by Raven (I don't know if that's how you spell his name). He first welcomed us and did a small introduction about Silver Ant, then he showed us around the place. First was the reception floor which consisted of a pool table, meeting rooms, library, gym, cafeteria and more. I have to say this first, the interior design is beautiful, it's modern Japanese themed mixed with some traditional touches. There is an impressive Silver Ant bust next to the reception counter and a fine collection of books at the library. The place is small but very nicely arranged to put all the places together.
One floor down the reception is the working studio. We got to have a look at the working environment but we were not allowed into it because of private and confidential stuff. We went back to the reception floor and into the little review room to watch Silver Ant's impressive demoreel. After that we went up to the N-Cube, which is Sliver Ant's management department, which is also called the boring department because of it's huge contrast of interior design to the bottom floor. There's a lot of meeting rooms and a mini cinema here, everything is cubic shaped, like minimalism. We watched some stuff in the mini cinema like the Seefood trailer and Silver Ant's current work, the Transformers Prime television series and the new KFC cinema rating clips.

Oral Surgery They Said
The other day I went to the dentist in UM to get the pain in my gums around my wisdom tooth checked. I eventually was sent to the surgery department because of the piece of gums (gum? gums?) or soft tissue (as the doctor or dentist or doctist whatever put it) is like a lid over my wisdom tooth and it's swollen or inflamed (as the doctor or dentist or doctist whatever put it) because of the irritation of my teeth and so on whatsoever something like that along the lines of that I think maybe somewhat kind of I guess probably.
So I have to go through oral surgery to rid of the gum/gums or soft tissue (as the doctor or dentist or doctist whatever put it). Also examining my teeth the doctor/dentist said that the wisdom tooth of my top right is growing in the wrong direction which is outward towards my check. My bottom left wisdom tooth has grown but is still embedded within the gums so it's not really out but out? Bah. Whatever.

Water Snake of Change
Like every year, my family will go up to Penang to celebrate the Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the Snake (water snake). This year's Chinese New Year is pretty different from how it used to be.
Day1
Early Saturday morning, we left for Penang later than planned at 4a.m. We had actually planned to leave at 3a.m. Through the whole journey up to Penang, I was asleep because heck, I lack sleep. We stopped in Ipoh to have brunch at a dim sum restaurant before continuing our journey. After settling into my grandparents' home, I helped my grandma set up the Chinese lanterns with help from my uncle. It was the first time our family went to a western restaurant for our reunion dinner. The restaurant was located at the new reclaimed land parts of Penang (I don't know the parts of Penang, don't ask me) with a fine dining theme which wasn't really fine dine. We went home after dinner and at around 10.30p.m. people started to release fireworks. My dogs were barking and whining in fright from the loud noise. Hahaha. At around 11.30p.m., there was a power outage. Five houses in a row lost electricity. Since it was dark and there was nothing to do, we went out to see the fireworks. By that time, the sky was filled with fireworks from every direction I could see from the porch. At least six houses had fireworks display, the nearest being the neighbor five houses down the road. The fireworks around filled the sky for a long time until 1a.m. nonstop. It was like an orchestra of fireworks played by a group of excited musicians. When the fireworks died down, we all went to bed.
The electricity came back on I have no idea what time. I was disturbed in my sleep when the electricity came back (my sisters and my dad were cheering loudly and the ceiling light was on) but I went back to sleep the second I woke up.
Day2
After getting dressed in the morning, I went down to the living room to spend time before my family goes out to visit our relatives. Several relatives from my mom's side of the family (actually my grandfather's siblings and their children) came to visit. Later in the afternoon, my family went out to visit my dad's brother (dad's 4th older brother, my 4th uncle). We learned that my cousin had a second child, a boy. During our visit, more relatives came to visit as well, they were a cousin and a nephew's family. The thing about visiting my paternal families is that the issue about 'what do our kids acknowledge each other' and as always, it's always nephews calling someone younger than them uncle, in such case, my sisters and me. My nephew has children already so that makes me a grand-uncle and my parents are great-grand-uncle/aunt. I think I've mentioned this before in last year's CNY blog post.
Day3
In the morning, more relatives came to visit my grandparents' house. My family went to my cousin's house (where my dad's 2nd oldest sister, my 2nd aunt) is living at. My cousins always has large buffet lunches at her house and invites everyone from my dad's side of the family to eat. Almost everyone was there and the house was so packed and noisy. After everyone has eaten, my nephews (yes, older than me) called everyone out to the porch to take a family photo. It was the first time we had a family photo together.
Day4
In the morning, we went to visit some of my grandfather's siblings. At lunch we took my grandparents to Sushi King. After lunch, my family went to my uncle's house (dad's 3rd oldest brother, my 3rd uncle). During the visit, it rained heavily so we had to stay longer than planned and had to postpone other visits because it got too late.
Day5
After breakfast, the plan was to go to my mom's friend's house but my 3rd uncle called my dad and told him about a monk going to bless the family and he invited us to get the blessing too so we rushed my slowpoke sisters and we got there in time. After the blessing and prayers, we had lunch and we chatted some more. After that we had to drop my mom at her meeting with her school friends whom she has not seen for the past 31 years. The rest of us went back to my grandparents' home and rested. I was working a little on my assignment and there was Caught on Camera: Disaster in Japan on tv. It was about the huge earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011. I always find myself brought to tears when I watch the clips of the disaster. There were several video clips shown on the program that I've never seen before like the footage from a tourist on the top of Tokyo Tower during the quake, the sailboats that got swept into the highways and devastated people looking for their lost families after the waters resided. After the show ended, we left the house again to pick up my mom after her reunion was over and then we went to visit my parents' friend. We were there until late in the evening, almost night.
Day6
While waiting for my family to be ready to go out, I was playing with Patches when I had to blow my nose. So I did and out came a lot of thick and clear mucus. It was so thick and clear it was like I had gel in my hand.
Anyway, we went to my visit my aunt (mom's older sister). After that we took my grandparents to Gurney Plaza to eat at Chili's. It's been a really long time since I last went to Gurney Plaza, like 10 years ago, I can hardly remember anything about that place. It's Valentines Day so there were a lot of couples around. While we were eating, it started to shower, because Gurney Plaza is by the seafront, the winds were strong and you could see all the rubbish on the floor being swept up and tossed around in the air by the wind. People sitting in the open-air parts of the restaurants and cafes around quickly went indoors before the rain came. After lunch we walked around the mall for about an hour before going to Tesco. I manage to exchange the SonicGear earphones I bought before leaving for Penang at Tesco Mutiara Damansara for a Philips one because the SonicGear one was too big for my ears, how the heck do people wear 15mm wide earphones? It hurts! The new earphones are not as good as my stolen iPod earphones though. Maybe I'll buy the new iPod earphones some time in the near future. My mom bought seven tubs of yoghurt because it was on sale and we couldn't fit them in my grandma's fridge so we all finished two tubs as dessert while watching tv.
Day7
We woke up early to go pray at the Guanyin Temple we always go to. The front part of the temple was under renovation so it was hard to go into the temple with the crowd. After we were done with the prayers we went to buy chicken rice to eat at home. We went around Penang for a bit because my grandma had some errands, we went to the Kwantung and Tengzhau assosiation building and the general hospital to collect medicine for my grandpa. After lunch, I did some assignment and watched some anime. My family went out because my mom had a dentist appointment and my sisters wanted to get their hair cut and my dad had to drive them so I stayed back. My grandma also went out soon after. I got tired and dozed off in the living room until evening when my family came back home.
That was pretty much it for my Chinese New Year holiday this year. It was a lot quiet because my uncle and his family didn't come back because my cousin was stationed for National Service in Singapore and my other uncle and his family went back early to their floral shop for Valentines Day sales.
Before we went up to Penang, my right wisdom tooth was growing so it was hurting and disturbing me a lot. It have already grown out of the gums but there's this part of my gum that is sticking out like an appendage and it bothers me a lot. Also, the right row of my teeth hurt a couple of times.
While going around Penang, we passed by a lot of places like my mom's primary and secondary schools, the school some of my uncle and aunts went to, the house my dad grew up in and my grandfather's birthplace. This made me realise that Penang is such a small island. My parents would keep remising the shops and memories when we go about the island, they remember almost every road in Penang, but the roads in Penang have changed quite a lot, so we got lost trying to find a house. Haha.
The one thing I don't like about Penang is the lack of internet. When I came back, this Harlem Shake thing went viral. Huh, The couple of hours I experienced the Harlem Shake, I never guessed it was the Flithy Frank guy who made it viral.

The Day A Part Of Me Died
A part of my life and soul died when someone broke into my dad's car this morning and stole my Nintendo DS and iPod earphones. My pride, joy and dedication of 6 years just disappeared like that in the 20 minutes my dad and I went to have breakfast at the usual kopitiam at Kepong. In my DS was my Pokemon White version which held a complete PokeDex, 62 legendary Pokemon, 20 shiny Pokemon and various rare event exclusive Pokemon which one cannot obtain ever again. It also had Pokemon transfered from the previous games, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver and also Pokemon of other various languages notably Japanese and German.
Today I made a few mistakes I've never done before. First was I didn't trust my instincts when I left the house with my DS, a nagging feeling in the back of my head started when I took my DS in my hands and slept in the back of my dad's car as he sent my sister to college. Later, we went to Kepong and had breakfast. I just woke up and was groggy so I put my DS and iPod earphones in the glove compartment, which I never do. If I want to leave anything valuable in the car, I would put it in the back pocket of the passenger's seat because it's discreet and if completely hidden from view. But I put it in the glove compartment with the door open, for anyone who wants to steal see. After our meal, my dad and I went back to the car only to be shocked to find that the passenger's seat window was smashed. My dad thought some rock fell and broke the window but being more observant I noticed that the shards reach all the way to the driver's seat, someone broke the window on purpose, but nothing was touched, my dad's wallet, money, handphone and various things were left untouched. I opened the glove compartment to be sure and the world around me smashed into a million pieces. 6 years, 6 years of hardcore collection, literally catching 'em all, my risky gamble of getting Pokemon I want through online trades, 6 years of climbing the steps to become the Pokemon Master, all crumbled into dust, leaving nothing behind but the emptiness of my heart. I felt so hollow and disappointed in myself. How could I have made such careless actions? And my dad, of all places parked behind the shops, no one would notice if someone was killed because no one goes through there.
My dad and I asked some workers in a kitchen if they saw anyone. The guy there said he didn't see anyone and told us there's a lot of bad people around the area, if they see something they deem valuable, they'll take it. But I know, this guy knew who took it but didn't dare to tell us because he feared his life, he's just a worker there and the people who stole my DS were gangsters or drug addicts. This thief must be a stupid person anyway, how is he gonna sell my DS? It's a console, not a phone, you cant sell consoles as easy as phones. I don't mind if he wants the console, I want my game card, it's where all my years of dedicated lies in.
We went to my mom's office where I couldn't hold it in and cried my heart out in the toilet. My hard work, the one thing I could be proud of, vanished and I don't know if I can find it ever again. My mom helped me talk to the kopitiam people and see if they can look out for my DS. Even if I can get my DS back, will the data in my game card still have my treasures? The DS, game card and iPod earphones were things I bought on my own.
Nothing can ever replace the treasures in that game card. The Spikey-eared Pichu, Japanese Meloetta, the special event Darkrai, everything. Those are the treasures only so few in the world has, I was one of them.
In the first time in my life, I know what it feels like when you lose something truly important to you. It doesn't sound as serious as it seems but, I lost my position as a Pokemon Master, the childhood dream I've only ever achieved. I lost a part of my soul and I failed myself.
This day is the day a part of me died.

Looking To A Positive Tomorrow?
I don't remember what drove me to disable the comments for my blogposts but I've enabled them because I just have this feeling.
I Am Good Surgeon!
Today I watched Pewdiepie's new video playing Surgeon Simulator 2013. So I downloaded the game as well for my Mac and I had a go with it just now. The goal of the game is to perform a heart transplant. You basically just get rid of the ribs, throw away the lungs, cut out the heart and toss the new heart into the the big cavity you made and 'Success! It looks like he'll survive.', when it clearly looks like he'll not, which makes the game extremely funny when not taken seriously (Who would?).
The keys controls are fairly okay but it's hard to grab stuff and control the arm. I played six times and I only manage to successfully complete the operation twice. The first success, I had a hard time getting the heart out because I accidentally swept most of the tools off the table. When I manage to put the heart in and get it in position (for some reason it didn't end when I put the heart in), there were three scalpels, some broken beakers, a little spoon thingy and little pieces of ribcage in the cavity. The second time, I played around with the saw too much (spammed it literally) and the patient was loosing blood fast, I couldn't cut out the old heart with the saw (because lungs and broken rigs were swimming around) so I just grabbed the new heart and tossed it in and after the mess of organs rolled around for a bit, I unexpectedly completed the operation (when it clearly was a fail).
The other times I failed I spammed the hammer and another was the patient ran out of blood because I dropped a lot of the tools and it was hard to pick some up. Overall, I think the game is more humorous than it's actual intention. I guess I'll keep it on my Mac for maybe a month and then I'll delete it.
PS: I don't think this end section should be called 'PS' in a blog post. Anyway, I haven't completed Slender since the day I attempted to play it. Still can't get the memory of screaming in my friend's house out of my head.

PC's Not Home
It's been about two weeks since I sent my PC for repairs. I haven't been able to play any games and I wanna do some digital painting but yeah. Now I simply pass my day doing assignments or doing nothing. I'm bored..

Felt like the good ol' days
Last Thursday night I spend the night in college with Kai, Wilson, Chia, KW and JL. I didn't really have anything to do, I just did my own work while the others have to do their final rendering for their graduation project. Just that night, the countless jokes we pulled felt like the good old days (Just two years ago actually) when we were all together. That night we didn't do much, we were pretty engrossed in the iSketch game with Mal (who was at home) and I watched Wilson and KW play Ghost Recon Online. I wished we can hang out together like that again some time.

Birthday Mail!
A special parcel came in for me today.
After class, my dad picked me up from college with my sobbing sister who couldn't go to some K-pop concert in Sepang. On the way home, my dad told me I got a parcel delivery today and he was joking about how he thought it was a bomb. While he was making those jokes, I already knew what the box was but I didn't know what was inside.
There was only the three of us tonight so we went to have dinner at the new hocker center opened near my house. After that we went home and my dad passed the parcel to me. The parcel was a birthday present from Wei Mae. It wasn't wrapped though and it was a Zalora box with the words, 'It's here!' on it which made it fitting. I was gonna take the box to my desk and open it but my sister wanted to see what was inside. Since I was in a good mood, I opened it and inside was an M&M's dispenser, named Blue Caesar (which looks purple to me). Inside was an envelope as well wishing me a happy birthday and other joyous stuff.
Thank you so much for the birthday present Wei Mae! It's 10 days late but it's worth the wait. Thank you again!
After class, my dad picked me up from college with my sobbing sister who couldn't go to some K-pop concert in Sepang. On the way home, my dad told me I got a parcel delivery today and he was joking about how he thought it was a bomb. While he was making those jokes, I already knew what the box was but I didn't know what was inside.
