urgh.. i'm dying. dying for a set of black and white to play.. i think i'll go beg for the key to the music room at TSS.

shall start hunting soon. looking at Bernchstein, Bohemia, Yamaha and maybe Kawai. though Bohemia 125A Proffesional looks freaking tempting in white high polish. but no price stated. hope i don't freak out after seeing the tag.

feel like trying out transcription. free style piano playing sounds cool. not the type that strictly follows the sheets. which means i need to train the ear. will take a lot of work(to start).

i want a camcorder too. so many things but no money. T-T

Title: The World Ends With You
Genre: game, action
Episodes: its a game damn it.
My rating: ☆☆☆☆☆










heres a proper review for the game. incredible story, told in an incredible way, with incredible gameplay. bwahaha.. gives you the idea how great this game is yet? lazy to give you the details and summary of story to the game.. if you wanna know more just go read it up at wikipedia. XD

this must be the best game i've ever played on any Nintendo product ever. beating final fantasy 6 of SNES. though some of the soundtracks are downright irritating. but gotta admit, some were really good. but then again, hiphop.. how far can that go i wonder. the ending credits had a very beautiful song to it. its called ' Lullaby For You ' by JyongRi. i wouldn't say its bad, just average. but lyrically, its beautiful. come to think of it, i think this is the best game i've ever played. it told the best story above any other game i've played thats for sure.

warning: boring content(to some people) read at your own risk.


you know, i've come to realize(or so i think i have) why i have always been playing games in such a hardcore manner. like when i played final fantasy 7, and just recently, ' The World Ends With You ' its a game i played on my bro's Nintendo DS. completed the whole thing in 3 days. right, so going back to the realization parts. i noticed the reason why i play it non-stop. people would think that the game is addicting. fun, game-play wise which causes addiction. well, i cant deny the fact that i was hooked on it, but its not because its fun.. its because of the story.

now whats up with that? well.. i, like many others love a good story. its just that i like my stories in a form of videos and games. well videos are obvious. but games, its just a different sort of experience. i don't really know how to explain it. why i get hooked to games like the one i just finished is simply because of the story. i liked the story the game was telling. and just like anime, i like to finish the story in one shot. kinda like the way i watch my anime non stop, i play the game semi non stop. cos i cant go nonstop with games. i'll get screwed.

games like these give me a little motivation sometimes. i said on my blog last time that whenever i sleep, i would make stories in my mind. and i sometimes get clear visions.. really strange. i literally see what i think, when my eyes are closed. its like my brain is the projector and my eyelids are the screen. most of the time, i would envision what i have just watched or played. sometimes i would edit them a little here and there to make it the way i like it. sometimes, i would get this idea, and start thinking it out. the idea is kinda like a script. and i'd draw it out with my mind, and if i'm lucky it will play on my eyelids. all these will sound like kiddy mentality to people. if thats what people think, then call me kiddy brain. why motivating you may ask. well, like i said, a little only. motivates me to want to write a story, to draw my story. thats all, sadly.

so, about that new game i just finished(about 30mins ago) i really loved the story. perhaps i'd make a version of it in my head. maybe edit a little of it here and there. or possibly, even script up a little sequel or spinoff with my mind. you know, you always get that thirst to know what will happen after the end. i just like to make mine. perhaps i can write it down for real what i've scripted in my mind.

maybe to some, all this is just an excuse. all this, is just to cover the fact that i am totally addicted to gaming. so be it then.

its 6am! people are waking up to go to school haha! and i'm super bored now and cant sleep because i slept too much in the afternoon. i really am turning into a nocturnal creature.

been downloading random anime songs to listen to. and i seem to have picked some pretty nice ones. something different to listen to.. finally.

oh and i just LOVE Tony Taka's arts. be it random drawings, anime character drawings or hentai and doujins. its superb! he's drawing skills are awesome. downloading some of his templates... gonna try drawing myself some stuff to stick on the wall. (and some not so decent ones to scan into com heehee)

coke!! i need coke!!




===========================================




been craving coke recently. hmmm..

went for medical checkup yesterday. and it sucked. spent over 5 hours there. such a waste of time. first they made me wait 30mins for measurements, then another 30 after that for some stupid eDocumentation thing. and another 20mins to get me into the screening hall. when i went in, they told me its lunchtime. come back at 1 (90mins). bitch. loads of waiting after that too including 30min wait half naked in station 6. SOAB... not to mention how freezing it was. only thing i was relieved is that the dude who sucked my blood was experienced. NO FEAR MUAHAHA... lame. and i got PES - ?? hehehe. yea ?? it is. LOL


play the cards you draw from the deck as you would take chances in life. otherwise you will never win the game as you would be successful in life. - credits mine. cos i made this up. lol

ah yes i'm pretty pleased with myself. all that weight training at home when i have nothing else to do really did pay off. i went from 2 chin ups to 9 chin ups with just a few months of casual, inconsistent weight training. lovely. should do it regularly. better get beefed up for NAPFA NS. 2 months off sounds really really tempting. better start training stamina too. miss that time when i ran with hu gang and naz last year. everyone's busy nowadays. well, maybe its just that i'm super free.

been browsing through my records on animenewsnetwork.com, found some anime i used to watch way back in primary school. stuff like cooking master boy, ayashi no ceres, legend of condor hero and blah blah. some of them sucked bad.. but they have pretty good songs. like condor hero's opening theme. sweet voice there. and ayashi no ceres was the very first anime i watch on tv from 1st to last.. and their opening theme still sounds great. and the piano version. i used to play it with a primary school friend. miss those times. though i hated my primary school life... child abuse central. wtf..

have i ever mentioned how Saber was extremely cute when she's not in her armor? to be precise, in her swimsuit eating a popsickle by the beach??? thats cute at its best damn it. don't know what i'm talking about? go see my friendster profile. (P.S. I'M NOT GAY)


there i sat, looking out of the window at the empty night sky.. reminiscing all the great times we had together and how it all seemed so distant now....

FF music craze!

yep, as said above. i've been going crazy over final fantasy music of late. not just listening of course. i'm printing lots of sheets. more than i can take i think. but i'll try to finish all of it. heres what i am attempting:

Forever Rachel(Reborn version) FF6, Aeris's Theme(Piano Collections) FF7, Eyes on Me FF8, Melodies of Life(Piano Collections) FF9, Seal of the Wind - The Three Trails FF10.

hmm they all seem to flow in numerical order. interesting.

in need of a job.. again. i'm looking at a promoter for yamaha music products. hope i can get a promoter position for pianos and keyboards. after my piano is moved, i'm gonna get a digital keyboard. then an upright piano after that. then my room would look like a studio. haha. time to edit my wishlist.

thanks ben for melodies of life mp3

aah been playing lots of piano for the past 2 to 3 days. i completed Cristofori's Dream in just 2 days! thats 9 pages in 2 days! thats like the biggest commitment i ever had on a single piece. partly because it is easy to memorize. but perfecting it will still take a while. besides that, i'd like to complete as many songs as possible before the piano goes. i'll probably get back on those i have played only partly.

2 new things on my wish list. Diablo 3 when it comes out. damn i'm so psyched up about it i just installed diablo2. the other thing i really really want is VOCALOID!!!! i've seen what this program can produce and i want one! and if i get a digital keyboard with recording features, who know man i can compose my own songs! with that cute voice of Hatsune Miku to sing it for me. sounds like fantasy within grasp. haha! i want it i want it i want it i want it!!!!! ( damn japanese sure know how to come up with cool stuff that makes me go ' WOW ' )


and we all go piano-oh-oh-oh...
