Current life updates.
I successfully enrolled in college, currently in my 2nd month where all the quizzes, midterms start rolling in as well as the final assignments for the respective subjects.
Studying in UCSI. University College Sedaya International. Very long name; content, not so much. Students are averagely... average. While the lecturers are mostly the same. However, this is my foundation year. Where everything is cakewalk and students are still getting spoonfed. There are many students with unrealized potentials. Therefore only time will tell what will happen in the future.
As for myself, barely scraping by. Still living fine. So no worries there. As long as I still have my spark of insanity in me. I shall never actually go crazy.

Chapter 1 - Snapshots.
For you dear. What I promised.
---
"You're cute."
The phrase repeated itself perpetually in Yuki's mind as he was walking up a hill with a mild gradient; grass and trees, both young and husks lined the street on both sides. The bright sin's radiant heat created mirages not far off from his position, they remained forever fixated, moving with him.
"You're cute."
---
"I like you, alot." She whispered timidly into Yuki's ear.
It took him courage to rouse from a corpse-like state, to place his hand unto her waist after an eternity of inner turmoil and doubt. One that his companion of the day seems to have disregarded long ago. Her warmth seeped into him. He held her closer. Resting his head on top of hers which laid on his shoulder.
"I like you, alot." Repeated in his head.
---
"I would like to hold your hand again." he whispered to her.
The bus' engine roared on the ramp leading unto the highway. He was on his way to meet her again. At a shopping complex that he has not visited for a long time. Insecurity laced his mind. The passengers were few and uninteresting, Yuki decided to turn his gaze to the fast moving street. His interest at the passing trees and cars waned as the words weighted in his mind heavily. Eyelids lowered, he contemplated the words carefully. It carried a promise, for her; for himself. A promise that requested for a future when it was uncertain.
"I want to hold your hand again." His silent mutterings carried away by the noise of the bus.
---
"I miss you." a message appeared in the conversational window.
The title in the taskbar flashed incessantly. The message was simple and clear. She missed him. He missed her too even though he was chatting with her on his computer seat. Moreover, he missed her touch; her hands; her smell, when she rested her head on his shoulder. The cursor pointed towards the flashing title, the window appeared; The cursor flashing, begging for input.
"I miss you too." he typed in with a smile.

I liked.
The kisses. Well, generally everything that happened on Friday.
Touching your hair and jolting you when I ended the call. Holding your hand again, browsing odd stuff in Action City. Getting lost looking for MPH.
The way you supported me when I asked you to be my girlfriend, I know I asked before, but when we were face to face it was a lot harder.
How you didn't mind me not being romantic nor strong enough that I actually told you I have no idea how long it might last.
Not giving a fuck about that old uncle across the lounge.
My first kiss outside Haagen Daaz, playing traffic lights with the shoppers, and then not giving a fuck about them in the end.
Holding your hand more, walking around randomly, the kiss near the weird suspended cola can in river. Going back to MPH.
Using books as an excuse to stay close and hobo'ing at that corner.
More kisses.
The test of trust between us.
Throwing away books completely to snuggle, playing with your petite hands.
Having my world spin round and round by your antics.
The taste of your lips, mouth and even braces. The smell in your hair, nuzzling your neck, your petite frame, your delicate hands.
You're amazing.

I like a dress.
First and foremost, let's clear this up. I'm not gay. I'm just an optimistically objective person, I try to see what things are on their grounds. If a boy looks cute. (Like it is shown here, yes, that's a boy.) I will say he looks cute. I won't reel back in horror with the knowledge that he has the male genitalia. He's cute, but I won't hit it. Am I clear on this? I appreciate the fact that he's cute. That's enough. No need to go anywhere else.
Meanwhile. I'm blogging about this dress because I would like to remember it. I will, and yes, -WILL- secure one of it in the future, for a loved one. I will not, in any case, secure it when it does not have a chance to be on someone I love. Or if I do have the extra cash from some sort of weird chance occurence. I will buy in to have it wait for it's proper owner. Yes, I like the dress that much.
Here it is:
They're from a Japanese lolita fashion company named Victorian Maiden, aptly named, I'm sure you'd agree, as the dress is very much inspired from the Victorian era of immaculate details and lots, lots, and lots, of frills. Doesn't contain as much ribbons or laces as I'd like it to be, but this also means the dress is not cluttered and oozes elegance. Just, perfect.
By the way, these dresses are extremely costly, perhaps not as much as designer apparel, but this particular dressed is priced at 24k yen. That's about 800 Ringgit Malaysia. Still very achievable, and much sought after by aficionados of all nationalities.
P/S: The red, of which I have picked out from a choice of three, is no longer available. I believe when I visited the site back when I was 15, the red version of this dress is also sold out.

Update on progress.
Assasin's Creed
GRID
Sid Meier's Civilizations 4
Silent Hill Homecoming.
Prince of Persia
Tomb Raider: Underworld
World of Goo
Games I've finished
Pure
(Published by Disney, good for distractions, nice sense of over-the-top racing, a little repetitive and isn't as good as SSX)
Burnout Paradise
(Bustling city, with the 24hours patch it becomes a living one, actual immersion blending nicely with over the top action and speed. becomes repetitive about 20 hours in, overall amazing arcade racer.)
Dead Space
(Flying limbs everywhere, a rare good scifi horror game, shocks become infrequent close to the end of the game, scares become routine. Overall good game, confusing storyline.)
Call of Duty: World at War
(Overall good game, exact same formula as COD4:MW minus some points, Nazi Zombie bonus mission very awesome, even when alone.)
Mirror's Edge
(Amazing visuals, has occasional hiccups, but overall great game.)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
(Effing hard. Also, I found the 360 controller more forgiving. Great game for it's time, non linear.)
Games I gave up on.
DMC4.
(Backtracking is surprisingly tedious and unfortunately boring, even with badass Dante. It might've been good in RE2, but that's a design about 8 years old)
The Club.
(Strictly Multiplayer experience. Single player is so-so. Not very worthwhile.)
Yes, I'm putting in comments for the games I've played now. As a reminder of why I liked and disliked certain games.
Silent Hill:Homecoming is on hold until a good graphics patch comes out for the game, or an unofficial fix. Currently trying to finish Prince of Persia.

SG Trip. Summarized.
My earlier post mentioned that I only had two purpose for the Singapore Trip. I shall now report like the dedicated journalist I am. Ain't it obvious from the state of frequent updates of this blog? *Ba-dum-dum-plish*
Number 1! Out of the 3 Arcade machines that has uber amounts of potential to sap my pockets dry during the trip, the only one that I've discovered costed less than all other stuff I've played in their arcades. I've managed to find Deathsmiles, thanks to my aquaintance. Review of Deathsmiles coming up after all my reports. BlazBlue is nowhere to be found. Perhaps due to the overwhelming presence of SFIV and Tekken 6. DJMAX technika would've stuck out like a really sore thumb, so it isn't there. Or it might've been shrunk to a molecular size where I can't find it.
In the arcades section. I've tried out DDRX. It's still as americanized as the last time I saw it, the major turnoff for me was Candy without lyrics, and the fact that Breakdown was not on the list. I was sad after realizing that and stopped playing. I've also tried out and sucked at Espagaluda, but I'll definitely play it again for the sheer amount of blood the game gives the players. It's pretty copious for a shmup. Lastly, my beatmania skills downgraded, I suspect it's partly due to overstraining my left hand, which resulted in my left index and middle fingers being numb for 3 days. I nearly thought I had Carpal Tunnel, but from a self diagnostic the symptoms were inconsistent with the ones associated with CTS. Thanks Soo-Ann for the information on the diagnostic tests, you rock, and hope you do extremely well in your exams, enough to cut a year or so of being an in-house. :P
In addition to the above, I've also had the privilege of meeting some very good Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3DX players. As well as acquiring a present card to tryout the new MX-5 introduced in this iteration. Throughout battles and several hours of observation, I've gained a great amount of insight as to improving my own play level. Thanks to Maya for introducing me to them, they're friggin' awesome, as are you, Maya.
Number 2! Cosafe was pretty kewl. From the picture in the link to the left, there's still a Malay(?) girl that wasn't in the picture. But does it really matter? The two Malay girls that works there seems more likely to be temps, since their uniforms are standard and seems nothing out of the ordinary. Either that, or the opposite is true. BTW, my favourite one was the one on the far left, she seems to have her own fan, since my aquaintance seemed to have noticed a certain foreigner only wants to be served by her. The blue ribbon was a nice touch I like attention to details (Her underskirt was red checkers. Contrast.), although I don't think you'd see it in the picture.
I've noticed, that the standard skirts are actually layerred, so they hike up when they bend over a little, just like the ones in mangas. Results were the two Malay(?) girls wearing shorts. Which were surprisingly long since they're actually visible even when they're standing straight. I've had a pretty great time there. Since I've been accompanied by an interesting person. Oddly I didn't pay as much attention as I thought I would on the waitresses, which seems to be the whole point of the cafe... Isn't it?
Price of the place seems reasonable. As long as you stick to coffee and starve. Food is adequately priced for a cafe in a high-end city area (Not to mention this is a novelty cafe). Coffee and Steamed Milk seems to be cheap, considering they're actually cheaper than Starbucks to a certain degree. Alcohol is extremely overpriced in my opinion, regular cocktails were at least 30 dollars. I'm glad I don't drink.
*I honestly do not know their race, they're not chinese, neither do they look too indonesian, in the end, I have to settle with modernized Malays.
