Graduation... Already?

Yes, it's been really boring nowadays...

Since our SPM trials are over, all the teachers seem to be either busy marking our screwed up exam papers or just literally doing nothing. D: So basically it's liek free period FOR THE WHOLE DAY LOL.

So i'm sorta planning to not go to school at all right after i got all of my exam papers heh. :3 Since PMR will be coming soon around beginning of October, and the school seems a little more quiet with lesser Form 3's taking their self-announced study leave lol. It might be worse after PMR though, maybe only a quarter of the Form 3 population will turn up... Not surprising though, it's always like this every year end. And i bet us Form 5's population will decrease drastically right after PMR too. Study leave ftw! (Y) :D

And the whole morning session will only consists of the Form 4's and Form 6's.

So my classmates have already started asking the teachers about graduation. Most of them thniks that it will be before SPM. Somewhere around mid October. And we'll have to practice for the graduation ceremony, like all those going on stage and retrieving certificates and stuff. SO that means i'll still have to go to school fml...

Each class will have to send around 15 representatives to go on stage to sing a song on graduation too. I somehow got dragged into this by my friends but ah well, once in a lifetime experience right? (:

Sheesh, all this talk about graduation and all... Makes me feel somehow sorrowful. (LOL HELLO GARRY! xD) I mean, ever since i was in Form 3 i was all "Ohhh i wanna graduate ASAP and leave this hell!" but come to think of it now, i do have the slight feeling of not hoping to leave that quick... :'C

Ahhhhhh i'm being so emo and shit! Stop stop! Still have to freaking study! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER WOMAN!

Anyways, i've recently took obssession to another level.

Say hello to my new wallpaper! <3

HELLO KISE I CAN SEE YOU WELCOMING ME WITH OPEN ARMS WHENEVER I OPEN THE COMP. *w*

Seriously, i have never been into an anime character this much. And it's getting out of hand ahhhh. D: Kuroko no Basket has unleashed the fangirl lying deep down in me wtf. Fujimaki Tadatoshi you really are one helluva awesome mangaka! Thank you so much for have written this manga! *w*

With SPM closing in, i think i better start planning on my Comic Fiesta plan asap. Don't think i'll have much time preparing during that period of time either. Either way, my plan this year is to keep it simple. So far i have a few characters in my mind, but i'm just so indecisve i just can't decide on two. :S Still unsure whether to go as Mary. But it would be so weird without having Ib and Garry, right...? Oh well.

No leaving ever.

Okay! Shall take a break from accounts to blog. :D

I'll make a rant on a game instead. This time, Ib.

First heard some guy classmates talking about this game, Ib during May, i think. They seem really excited so i joined the conversation and they told me more about this game.

So they said it was a horror game. WHAT HORROR NO WAY UH-UH. I'm a total chicken when it comes to literally ANYTHING horror-related. Even ghost stories! Reminiscing the days where i played Hotel 626 when i was 12 with a bunch of equally chicken guy friends back in primary school. I had nightmares for a few nights. D':

Despite them telling me it's not really scary, i still didn't have the courage (or time :/) to play the game. Then Felix told me that it's a 8-bit game and it wasn't really scary as there weren't any ghosts and all. Just some moving potraits and sculptures. (Oops is that a spoiler? :D) That sorta relieved me abit. But still, the thought of playing a horror game alone still terrifies me. D:

After a few months, Ib suddenly got really popular and even cosplays of the game were out! Many said that it's a really good game and worth a play! So i finally decided to do some research about the game and even downloaded it wtf WHAT AM I THINKING?! D: And even twinneh Joanne played the game and made a review of it here.

So during the Raya holidays, i dragged my semi-chicken (LOL. She's not really a chicken but her balls of steel are greater than mine! xD) sister along for company!

Wtf why is the opening music so creepy?! Makes me want to 'exit' already LOL!

So the game started off quite smoothly, until...

SHIT SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN NOOOOOO.

Afterwards, the music got really creepy and eerie but i still proceeded... With a heavy heart orz. Some videos on YouTube has shown the player playing in window mode (like Twinneh too) but sis stubbornly wanted it on full screen mode. ;___;

Actually the game is sorta like a puzzle game where you have to solve something to get to another stage. Oh, and the creepy music changes in the game too. Wonder where Kouri get all those eerie tracks. Basically it's the music that's making the whole game intimidating plus a few life-threatening moments like getting chased by The Lady in Red and those headless mannequins. D:

But from the entire game, this was the part that scared me shitless.

And i made Garry die. T_____T I'm so sorry Ib!

Ib has mulitiple endings. And to get those better ones it's best if you play the game with a walkthrough. But despite playing the game with the guide of a walkthrough, i still got a very crappy ending which was the " Together, forever " one which was mad crreepy. :S MARY YOU STALKER.

I guess i wasn't paying much attention to the walkthrough and wanted to TRY to finish the game myself. But i ended up getting the sucky ending FML. :/

So i went on YouTube and watched all the other endings and The Forgotten Portrait was the saddest IMO. Poor Garry! T________T

Conclusion is! This game is really simple but with it's awesome plot, it manages to provide a very satisfying game play. PLUS the creepy music. It's more of 'disturbing' than 'scary' IMO. I guess even the chicken of all chickens will manage to play through without getting a heart attack lol.

Haha Garry's so funny! xD

I enjoyed myself very much while playing this game. But i was grabbing a pillow all along... Just incase. The game has it's very kancheong moments but nothing too terrifying. Definetely worth a play! Or if you're planning to start playing horror games, give this for a start!

I actually dislike Mary in the game... But i kinda feel like cosplaying her. Would love to cosplay as Ib instead but i don't think i'll be able to pull Ib off well. Feel as though i'm more suited for Mary. :o Hmm, might add Mary in my Comic Fiesta plan.

Ending this post with a very spoiler-y and disturbing video from the game. :3

Now, back to freaking accounts. Hello numbers. :/

" No matter what, don't ever touch me. Okay? "

So here i am taking a break after one and a half week of SPM trials. It's Saturday tomorrow but i still have to go to school due to replacement classes for the Raya holidays. Usually, i couldn't be bothered to attend but i have to this time cauase i have to take my Sejarah 1 paper.

So stupid lah! Go to school freaking early in the morning with no lessons whatsoever & have to wait till 11-ish just to sit for a one hour and fifteen minites paper?! (School finishes at 12.30pm btw)   Stupidest exam arrangement ever. -.-

One more week of trials and i'm done. Though i have to admit that i didn't really do well for certain subjects so far like Add Maths and Mod Maths. I was born to suck at Maths fml. :/ And my school will be using the exam papers they set themselves instead of the usual JPS ones. Which means PLUS DIFFICULTY. Kiasu school is kiasu sighs.

Anyways! Here's a short review on a short anime film i've watched sort of recently. xD (I know this blog post's title sounds very wrong but it relaes to the film!)

Gosh I just can't express my feelings to this really awesome awesome movie! T^T

 

" Hotarubi no Mori E "

 

or

 

" In the Forest of the Fireflies Light "

 

 

I have seen a few people on my Facebook timeline talking about this particular anime film along with the above picture. And they seem pretty exicted and were all "OMG SO NICE I LOVE IT SO MUCH". But it didn't really interest me so i didn't bother watvhing. However, the picture seem really interesting i kept thinking about it. :S

 



So one fine day during the Raya holidays, i decided to take a *cough* short *cough* break from studying and watch this!

 

And boy did i enjoy it! It's only a short 40-minutes movie but the impact and the feeling it carries was so intense and strong. And yes, i teared up during the last bit. So yeah, short spoiler. Sad movie. :C

 

I've never in a very long time seen a piece so heartwarming yet heartbreaking. Lol i'm serious! It's very touching and the love and relationship shared between the two main characters is so pure and innocent i don't even... T_______T

 

"I can't wait for summer to come around. When I'm away from you, even though I can't be around crowds, I want to go see you."

 

IMO, this show is sorta like a mix of Spirited Away and Natsume Yuujinchou. (HAH spoiler again, sorry!) And when i looked it up, this show was originally a manga written by, you guessed it, the mangaka of Natsume Yuujinchou, Midorikawa-sensei! :D It was one of her earlier pieces before she started on Natsume. And only around 2011, it was made into a short film. Hmm, no wonder the main guy character looked somewhat familiar. :3

 

To sum it up, it's something slice-of-life-ish with a little bit of spiritual twist in it. It's sorta slow-paced, making the movie seem a little longer than what it actually is. (For me... Not sure how others feel.)

 

It's really worth a watch if you're a Natsume fan! :D

 

Shall end this post with the film's ending quote!

 

"I probably won't be able to look forward to summer for a long time. My chest will hurt. My tears will be overflowing. But this warmth in my hands and these summer memories will live on in my heart forever."
