君だけを探して… 君だけを想ってる…

Kimi dake wo sagashite...
Kimi dake wo omotteru...

Lol, I'm done reading all of the hundred and seventy-eight chapters of X before it got discontinued so CLAMP can start working on Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and xxxHolic (note that X stopped publishing in 2003, which is also the same time those two manga started publication lol). -.- Sucks there isn't an ending. Oh well.


The main character is Kamui, who at the beginning was portrayed as such a badass who doesn't hold back against anyone who dares cross him, making him look like an anti-social. Later, he becomes all emotional and looks like such a weakling, and he still hasn't seem to recover from it yet. Oh well. Don't know about him, but if I were him, I'd have swore to kill Fuuma as revenge for Kotori.


My favorite character though, is Sorata, haha. Such a funny chap, and I like it when he flirts around with Arashi. X3 (Arashi is so beautiful, haha, but then I'd always remember Sorata threatening Kurogane in Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE that if he dares to flirt with his wife, he'd kill him ) He was such a cool badass when Arashi went missing though. :3 And oh, and the two girls holding kunai in the picture depicting a badass Sorata are none other than Hien and Souhi, rofl. The same names as the two swords that Clone Syaoran and Kurogane got at Outo. Sad, now you think about it. Hien is being used as a weapon for massacre, all covered in blood, and Souhi was left along with Kurogane's left arm in Celes, and probably got crushed into dust by the closing world.


And Subaru's sister, Hokuto, is so cute, haha. Oh, and she looks rather like Subaru from Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. Now I think I know why I first thought the vampire was a female the first time I saw him.

Overall, I find the series good and interesting. It's the "you want to read the next chapter after finishing one"-type of manga all along, and because of that, doesn't make you want to stop anytime soon, lol. Ah, I wonder if CLAMP will finish it? Lol. Heard rumours that they may continue X after finishing Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and xxxHolic, but at the rate those two manga are going (three whole weeks of waiting for TRC chapter 198 after 197?? Hello?!?), I'll be expecting their end in 2011. -.-





Oi, freaking AI, how much lumber do you need, to have so many Peasants cutting wood? -.-



All ph43r James' Frost Wyrms and Gargoyles!! XD

夢は終わらせなければ

夢は終わらせなければ,未来へ進む為に。
Yume wa owarase nakereba, mirai e susumu tame ni.
The dream has to end, so that we can move towards the future.



Heh, I dreamt of a sweet and gorgeous Snow White yesterday night. Ah, she's so cute... :3 Marry me~~!!

XP



Lol, this is the third and last of the three Warcraft III games with James and Stip that I'm going to blog about (as of now, anyway :P). This one is a 2-on-2-on-2 game, with James (Undead) and I (Orc) in one team, Stip (Night Elf) and Pink Normal AI (Undead) in the second, and Yellow Normal AI (Orc) and Orange Normal AI (Night Elf) in the second. James and my plan were to first wipe out one of the Normal AI in the third team, then wipe out Stip's ally, then the second Normal AI in the third team, and finally wipe Stip out.


James and I, after creeping, saw that Yellow was expanding and immediately went to destroy it.


Yellow's army came, so our two armies went to have a face-off against it. Meanwhile, one of Yellow's peon sneaked past us and tried to build yet another Great Hall, rofl.


We destroyed Yellow's expansion again, and decided to push the battle onto Yellow's main base.


Burrows are annoying against invaders during the early game. XD


Orange-kun came to help out his ally... with one Keeper of the Grove. XD




Destroyed Yellow's expansion with my Raiders. Ensnare for teh win! Now let's see where you are running, little Peons... :P


Stip came and did a surprise attack against my base, forcing my Far Seer and two Grunts to instantly teleport back to my base and leave James with finishing Yellow off.


He tried to hide, but heh, Far Sight will take care of that! :D


Meanwhile, Orange-kun sent his Keeper of the Grove at James again. Ouch. Owned.


After finishing off Yellow, my Raiders went off to hit Orange-kun's expansion.


And after finishing off Orange-kun's expansion, we turned our attentions to Pink's expansion, but heck, both Pink and Stip had large armies that not only drove us out, but surround us and wipe us. D:


We spent some time rebuilding our armies, and then off we went.


On the way, we encountered one of Stip's expansions, so why not? Might as well hit it.


Both Pink and Stip's Archers came and deterred us. Fight on, my warriors!


James sent out his terrifying Frost Wyrms, which made short work out of Stip's two expansions, while his Crypt Fiends and my army take care of Pink's and Stip's armies.


Stip tried to build yet another expansion, but heh, I've got a second force of Raiders and Shamans at my base. :P




James' army of Frost Wyrms and Crypt Fiends went to destroy Pink with my main army. After that, James took his army to defeat Orange-kun, while my second army of Shamans and Raiders destroyed Stip's army. Good game. XD

The great sky that I looked up at grows serene in blue

Yoshida and I planned to return to Ngee Ann Secondary today because this is the day schools celebrate Teacher's Day, lol. Yoshida came to my house at around 11.30am after leaving his school early, and we went to Tampines Mart first to buy some gift in case a teacher pops up or something. Walked around but couldn't find anything, so the two of us ended up buying a cheap flower for $1.60, rofl. Yoshida said that he isn't giving this to any male teacher, but heh, I was thinking the exact same thing in my mind.

But... do we have any female teachers worth giving this to...?

We went to school and saw Ping Chong, Jovian and Szeling hanging around at the entrance, so Yoshida and I joined them for a while before we got bored and went off. We went to the second floor and saw Larry, Luke and Samuel hanging around outside the staff room, so we went to join them.

Apparently, they just got their testimonials back too, so I borrowed Larry's testimonial and took a look. It says, "Wei-Liang is an outstanding leader and has the ability to command respect from his peers.", or something I like, so I immediately told Larry, "Larry! Command my respect! Now!!" XD!

The five of us, together with Fym and Sean who popped out of nowhere, went to the staff room and the first floor and had a little talk with our Physics teacher last year. After that, Yoshida and I went to hang around outside the general office, where we saw the other guys from our class, like Dao Hsen, Chengkang, Wei Sheng and Xiang Bin.

Yoshida got bored and decided to go all the way to the temporary canteen and check if there are any vending machines there which he can buy drinks from, so I went along with him. Walking through that looooooong pathway, and lol, I noticed that Hiok Joo and Angeline are behind us and following us. XD

Took a photo of the new school building, which is still under construction but near completion, near where the temporary canteen.



After buying our drinks, we went back to the classroom block. There, we realized that they sealed the staircases shut. Oops. I think they must have realized that students can climb up there to avoid the locked gates and enter the classroom block during recess when they are not supposed to, and also leave the classroom block by jumping out of there. Yeah, I admit, I was one of those people. :D

And now, bloody hell, it resembles a prison. Sigh... School is but a prison which everyone has or had stayed in before.



Went to the classroom where 4R2 used to use a year ago. Hmmm lol, nothing much seems changed, except that they repainted all of the exterior walls, so the colour becomes uniform and doesn't seem so fucking messy. Damn, both doors into the classroom are locked, and we couldn't be bothered with removing the windows and crawling inside just to get in. Took this photo from outside the classroom, LOL.



Somehow it seems just like yesterday that I just stepped into this classroom and complained that I had to study in here again for a second year... XD

We left the classroom block and went back to outside the general office, where we spotted Larry, Luke and Sean talking to the new principal (I even asked Luke who that guy is XD). Yoshida and I left, where we spent a few moment deciding where to go next. He initially wanted to go to Tampines Mall, but later decided on Downtown East, so I called Vernon and Ephraim if they want to come along. Ephraim didn't pick up. Meh. Who cares about Mr. Minute Existence? XP

Took a bus to Downtown East, and just after we alighted at the bus stop, I called Vernon, and when I heard someone picking up the phone, instantly asked, "Bub, where are you?" Turns out Vernon was bathing and his brother, Justin, picked up the phone. ! Lol. Yoshida and I went to the new shopping center there called E!hub. We looked around, saw nothing to our interest, and went to a little corner at the fifth floor where there are benches provided, sit down, and listen to the songs on Yoshida's PSP while waiting for Vernon. XD

Vernon came, and the three of us went, as per Yoshida's suggestion, bowling. While Vernon and I were busy picking which bowling balls to use, Yoshida already went ahead with the control panel, and guess what he input for our names? "Shinigami" for himself (the interface cut it short to "Shiniga" because it was too long, which made Vernon and I laugh and Yoshida go "Oi!! D:" XD), "Hero" for me (oh well...) and "Bub" for Vernon (XD!!), lol!

It been YEARS since I last played bowling, I sucked, haha. Those which I hit 8 or 9 pins are pure tyco, and those which I "clean the drain" (*cough* gutter *cough*) are frequently seen. XD We played two games, and for the first game, Vernon got first, Yoshida second and me third. D: I took a picture of Vernon bowling, hahaha.


Yoshida asked why I didn't take one of him, rofl.

The second game went better for me, though mainly because Vernon cleaned the drain four times in a row, rofl, so I managed to get second while Yoshida did a lot better and got first, heh. Both Yoshida and I think that Vernon is thinking of Tania while playing, hence he kept cleaning the drain, rofl. I think Tania would be happy to know that Vernon is thinking of her. XD

Took a photo of the results of the second game, haha. Vernon asked me why I didn't take one for the first, rofl.



We left the bowling alley at around 3pm and went to McDonald's for lunch. Had a nice chat about anime and manga, haha. After that, we went to the arcade. Hmmm, nothing much to play there, since there isn't House of the Dead 4, lololol. We played various games, including basketball (three of us teamed up and played together lmao), some ghost minigame where we failed at making it let us play two players and ended up taking turns playing single player (-.-), Time Crisis III (both Yoshida and I got killed by the first boss at the same time and got fed up and quit playing xD), Daytona USA (we played on the Expert track, and fuck, I got third place because I accidentally went to a pit stop... Bullshit. -.-), Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 (couldn't play against each other because Yoshida and Vernon were using the English versions while me the Japanese lmao, so we ended up playing Story mode -.-), and a really fun minigame involving throwing balls at the screen like no tomorrow, rofl.

We then went to KFC for dinner, lol. Didn't buy anything, since I wasn't feeling hungry, but heh, Vernon forgot to change his coleshaw for whipped potatoes, so I ended up eating his coleshaw. Yoshida gave me his too. Rofl. Then went to play pool. As usual, I kept losing, rofl. After that, we went home. Yoshida, being funny, wanted to take a bus to Pasir Ris Bus Interchange, just one bus stop away, before taking a MRT to Tampines. Instead, I pushed him out of the bus stop, and we said goodbye to Vernon and went to walk to Pasir Ris MRT Station together. XD

Aboard the MRT, Yoshida went to sit on those priority seats assigned for the elderly, pregnant and disabled. I asked him, "Oi, you don't know what priority seat means meh?" Then he answered, "I need it. I'm... pregnant." O__________________O!

Rofl. Then I got an idea for taking a photo of him sitting on the priority seat and catching him red-handed, mwahahaha.



But he wanted me to take another one because he didn't pose. That's fine with me, I wanted to take another one too because I didn't focus the camera. XD



Took yet another one because he finds this one "not emo enough", rofl.



Happy liao boh, Yoshida??

Then, lol, the two of us took a photo together. He did some handsign near his neck, but too bad, my camera angle not accurate, rofl.



So take another one lor. :3



We alighted at Tampines MRT Station (where I asked him how it felt to sit down on one of the priority seats for one MRT station), went to Tampines Bus Interchange, and I took bus 291 home, while he took 69.

Kamui

Kamui:
1) One who represents the majesty of God.
2) One who hunts the majesty of God.
3) One who becomes a freaking vampire and runs around worlds trying to escape from a certain one-eyed hunter. XP



The second of the three memorable games of Warcraft III that I played with James and Stip is yet another 2-on-2, with James (Undead) and I (Orc) teaming up against Stip (Night Elves) and an Insane AI (Human).


Insane made the first offensive move against another player, attacking James' base. Both our armies immediately stopped creeping and went to successfully drive Insane back.


James and I then went to assault Insane's in-progress expansion, but was halted by Insane's huge army.


Stip, with his mass army of Archers, came and aid his ally out.




Stip's Demon Hunter got critically injured, so he immediately teleported back home, bringing his whole troop of Archers along with him.


The attack continued, with James complaining about how fast Insane was climbing up the tech tree. :P


Stip came again, and awwww, my Far Seer got killed. D:


Our attack against Insane's expansion failed, lol, with both of our armies wiped.


James' army was quick rebuilt and ready for action, while mine lacks just my Far Seer. ^^"


And then I was done! :D Teleported to James' base and quickly followed him on the way to Insane's base.


We attempted to assault Insane's main base, and had to engage with Insane's army in battle.


Huge army clash between our armies and Insane's insanely (no pun intended :P) huge army, haha.


We defeated Insane's army and pushed on to attacking his base. The day immediately darkens to night, signifying that a moonstone has been used, and we immediately knew that Stip would come to his Insane ally's aid. After all, the only race, if I am not mistaken, who benefits from nighttime are the, as their name implies, Night Elves. :P


Down with Insane's Arcane Sanctum! For Warchief Thrall!!


Lol, killed three of Insane's Heroes one after another. First the Level 2 Paladin, then the Level 2 Mountain King, and after this screenshot was taken, the Level 4 Archmage. :D


We went on to destroy Insane's expansion, at long last. Victory for the Horde!!


James and I split up, with different offensive operations assigned to each of us. I were to assault Insane's main base and keep Insane busy...


...while James is to assault Insane's new second expansion.


Stip went to get an expansion, but nmaa, too far away to be bothered rofl. Insane poses a more dangerous threat to us, hahaha.


Stip came over and teleported to Insane with his crazy force of Archers, lol, so I immediately took my force and retreat to where I can expect James to reinforce me.


Look at them all running after my troops, rofl.


The counterattack begins.


Fall to the combined might of the Horde and the Scourge!!


Went on to destroy Insane's second expansion, haha.


And our combined forces managed to defeat it, lol.


We then pushed on and went to assault Insane's base, again. XD Seeing that Insane's base is practically undefended, James and I split up, with James seeking to destroy Stip's expansion.


Chain Lightning = line of corpses of Peasants. :D


Ugh, freaking air.


One of James' Crypt Fiends to the rescue!


James, while attacking Stip's expansion, was confronted by a line of Archers, lol.


He retreated by teleporting out, but awwwww, his Obsidian Statue wasn't so lucky, it died the moment his Death Knight teleported away. XD


Heck, Stip sent an Ancient Protector to Insane's base, rofl. My Grunts destroyed it without much effort. :D


James, with whatever his army remains, came back to aid me.


Insane again tried to build yet another Town Hall at the gold mine next to his base, rofl, so James went to hunt it down.


Back to destroying Insane.


Sudden darkness, check. Yup, Stip's on his way.


Why, hello there, Stip! *casts Chain Lightning* Bzzatkaboom!!


Big Bad Voodoo, mwahahaha! I bet Stip, who didn't have any experience with Orcs at all other than playing through that little tutorial in Reign of Chaos, knew what happened and got the hell confused out of him rofl.


Hehheh, wiped off Stip's Hero and his pathetic little army of Archers. :P


Samy Dragonflame commands you, all of you, DIE! *casts Earthquake* XD


Back to destroying Insane. I laugh at how long we took to destroy one bloody little base, haha. That's what happens when you don't bother with Siege. A huge weakness. ^^


Ooooooh, look at what Stip sent! Chimaerae! Lololol!


What's the point of me writing a caption here when you can already tell that the Chimaerae are as good as "owned"? :P



w00t!!


Stip's expansion ran out of gold, so guess what he did? Sent that slowly lumbering Tree of Life towards us! XD


What remains of Insane's base are those useless structures that don't do anything by themselves, lol, so we left Insane alone and decided to pursue Stip.


Met the Tree of Life along the way. "It's a tree, like any other! Cut it down!!" ^^


Stip re-root his Tree of Life - good move, as its armor type will change to "Fortified" and become more resistant to the Normal, Piercing and Hero attacks that James and I are sending it... but not like it will change anything in the long run. :P


We pushed on forward and into Stip's base.


There never has been a better spell to nuke buildings other than Earthquake. :P






Look at that Chimaera Roost! Bright light!! It's blinding my Grunts arrrghhh! O_____O


Stip took his Wisps and ran the hell out. We decided to play along.


Stip's base - finished. All that remains is Insane, lololol. Stip, meanwhile, went ahead to hide all of his Wisps, and wanted us to finish every single one of them. Oh well, here we go!


First one, down.


Second one, down.


The third one tried hiding behind creeps, but with my Raider Ensnaring it, it has no choice but to wait for me to finish all of the creeps first! XD


I used Earthquake to clear off the trees and create a path into the center, where James and I decided to test if our armies are strong enough to kill the creeps there.


Three scary-looking Level 6 Red Drakes, haha.


Big Bad Voodoo!! :D I lost a Shaman to those creeps. Ugh.


We finished off Insane at long last in order to claim victory. Victory is ours!!
