I live???

After having a constant nagging on the back on my head to update. I finally sat down and start doing a post again. Actually, I have lots to write about. I'm just lazy to organize them properly.

So what's been eating up my time? Well, I been spending rather a lot of time of playing games and reading a manga. So yeah for the last few weeks, I been doing that.

I been actually playing back FFIX. For those who don't know what it is. It's consider as one of the most popular RPG (Role Playing Games) series. For those who like to read it more, can do also at wikipedia. I actually got addicted to it since this is only one I haven't finish yet. That and counting FFX-2 and FFXII (I know I'm slow =.=). So yeah, that took plenty of my time, since I was playing on my laptop via an emulator program.

Also the manga that I was hooked on to was "Mahou Sensei Negima" by Ken Akamatsu. The author previous work was the famous "Love Hina" (to help those who just can't remember). Well, "Love Hina" is actually one the manga that is rather "ecchi" (Jap term for naughty or perv). However, there is no XXX or whatever scenes like that. It's just things that are like up skirt or crashing into the woman's bath (with humorous ways).

What's so great about of this manga, it's that has plan like an entire universe. The story is opens with young boy by the name Negima who is magi or a mage send to a Japanese all-girl school to teach them for a year. Here's an overview from wikipedia:

Overview

Negi Springfield is a ten year old wizard from Wales, who dreams of becoming a Magister Magi (Approximate Latin translation: "Master Mage"), a special wizard who uses his powers to help normal people using covers such as working for NGOs.

Negi's reason for becoming a Magister Magi is to find his father, Nagi Springfield, the legendary mage also known as the "Thousand Master" who many believe to be dead.

After graduating from the Merdiana Magic Academy in Wales, Negi is given a duty as a cover in the real world, and training, before he actually becomes a Magister Magi. That duty is to become an English teacher at Mahora Academy in Japan. The task will not be easy, however, as Negi will become a teacher to a Middle School class of 31 older girls, each very special in her own way. The series details his time and adventures in Japan as he gains acceptance and respect from his students, helps them in their problems, and faces magical threats from inside and outside Mahora Academy. His main relationship is with Asuna Kagurazaka, his student and roommate, who dislikes him initially but later accepts him as a friend and becomes his partner, helping find clues about his father and his life.

The series, while initially appearing to be another bishōjo work like Love Hina, has progressed into a mix of bishōjo, shōnen action, fantasy, horror, romance and comedy. Akamatsu stated that he specifically wanted to do something "different" than Love Hina. Negi himself is prepubescent, and many of his scenes with Asuna are specific subversions of the "awkward romantic scene" tendency of bishōjo manga, quickly diffused and only played for laughs. In addition, many of the girls are able to fawn over him in a childish sense without any romantic expectations from the reader.

In keeping with this style, Negi himself is seen as a contrast to Love Hina's Keitaro and other typical male leads of bishōjo manga. He is hardworking, capable, and treated kindly, but due to his appearance and age (well below most of his students), he feels completely non-threatening and finds it difficult to be taken seriously as a teacher; many of his students treat him as a cute little kid, if not a playmate.

What I enjoy about the series is that, Ken has planned out all 31 girl's character and their own personalities. I have to admit that even it is hard to go over 5 sometimes. The action is also well done, as when I was reading the first arc final battle I was taken at how huge the scale of the battle is. Also this is one of his longest work ever done, as it is now only the second arc of the storyline. Currently it is now at chapter 216 and so far show no signs of it ending yet. You can read them for free at www.onemanga.com

I recommend reading it when you have the time, since it can get you really hooked on it. Anyway that's all for now. Still lots to write, hopefully will done soon. Ciaoz...

Reflections

Don't you ever wonder why this blog has rarely have sort of emo entries? I can tell you why. This is because the author tends to think about this in his head rather than letting it all out. At times, he doesn't say because he either nowhere near a pen and paper to write or he's just bottled it up.

Why does the author bottled up his emotions? This is because he grew up learning to keep things inside. Is kinda like a reflex muscle or an automatic action he does to himself. The answer is simple: he grew up alone.

He didn't had a sibling to talk to much. He has only a "sister" who isn't his a biological one yet has to call her one. She's hard to talk to sometimes as she is ten years older and at times hard to talk to. Parents can't always relate to you the best answers. He didn't really trust in God and he didn't talk to Him often. Only offering mechanical prayer at times of needs. He envies people who has a great relationship with their siblings even though he knows sometimes they can be a pain. But yet, he yearns for one.

He grew weary about his friends. Wondering or not, is he really a person they want to pick around with? The author feels that another cycle is approaching. The same cycle he went through last year. He tries not to think about it, but yet his hearts is constantly being stabbed. As he types this out, he wonders how some of his friends didn't fulfilled their promises to him. That being said, he wonders again how some of his school friends have started to shun him away. Or maybe it was because he was not that important anymore?

At times he wonders whether or not, to simply just remain bottled up as usual. Somehow, he has survive this long years by putting it all up within him. Can he carry up with his life he wonders?

How he yearns for a good friend that can always be there at times. He thinks he has one but he isn't sure anymore. How he longs also for a sibling that looks up to him at times. But will he ever get one? Will he receive such attention?

He tried to find peace by reading the poem he put in his blog. Yet, he doesn't feel any better. He seeks songs that will lift him up. He finds the correct song but doesn't want to listen to it in fear of crying over a silly thing.

In the end, he just wants a friend who is there all the time...
A sibling that looks up to him and enjoys being in the company of him.
He years for companionship.........

That is how Yeow Zim Sen feels tonight...
In all,
he's tired of everything...
He needs someone that will help him out at times like these...

Notice!!!

Of random chatter and other random stuff

All right all right, I admit to being super lazy to blog. Heck, even the food review is done. Is just that, it's way too short.

I only decided to do it like on Monday when I was returning from Ipoh. Argh, I dunno should I post it or not. This week has been quite hectic. I mean I feel so not productive at all, wasting my time playing games, going out (almost everyday). I only manage to watch the Forbidden Kingdom, in which is only one, when there's other movies like Iron Man, Speed Racer, Prince Caspian, and the upcoming Indiana Jones.

Man oh man, I feel so lost or rather wasted. ARGH, actually maybe I should just blog later. I just don't have the mood to do one. So I shall leave you all with just a random comic strip I saw the other day:


If you can't read it just click on it and don't be lazy. RAWRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Washed, Wax, Vacummed

In the light of Jon's attack of tags (which this writer manages to escape) I will update. Or not he will throw something sharp at my general direction (sorry Jon, couldn't resist...)

Okay about the reviews. Erm how to say about it? I rather just pick one of the following categories I mention in the last post and just write one. I will write one review every Sunday which means I owe 1 review. I will probably write both of them this coming weekend when I'm outstation. It's interesting how free you all when you have no freakin internet over the weekend.

So how's my life been? Hmmm.... Generally it's been all right. I not so stress up like two good friends. I don't know is it personality wise or I don't feel the stress. Oh well, maybe it's just me. So what's left for this semester? Two more presentations, two individual assignments and also one more group assignment. And there's always them tutorials I need to do for Business Statistics.

For my spiritual life, I have to really admit that I haven't actually touched my devotion book for uber long. I find myself really struggling to really sit down, quieten myself and do some devotion.
Well that's rather it, I actually want to go further about certain things. But I rather not, since I don't really find myself in the mood. So till then... Ciaoz

Reviews...

In a hope that I might someday enter the Hailer. I actually hope to write some reviews. Reviews on things like music, games, books, movies and food.

I be posting a poll to see which item would like to be reviewed. Of cause, you may submit a product to me for a review. But only if I roughly know about the item. So yeah, I will try to review every once a week an item that would be the highest poll results.

This is also to keep my blog updated and thus making me a more busy person in the blog. Of course there would be still the updates on my life every now and then. Here's a short update:

Life at college has becoming more work recently. With an individual and a group assignment for most of the subjects I'm taking, I can foresee a long journey ahead of me. But surprisingly, I do not actually feel the pressure yet. I somehow know that I will finish everything that has been given to me. Hmmm... Perhaps I'm overconfident? Or maybe I really know how to time myself? Guess I will find out in the coming weeks ahead of me...

Well that's pretty much to blog today. I get the review thing up soon. The reviews will be edited by my great friend Jonathan Chu (if he has the time). Well till then folks....

Updates

I'm back after a long long break from not blogging. So what's been in my life? At college, the "honeymoon" time has finally end and the assignments are been send into my life at college.

My social life has been the same. Not much change, still with the crazy people almost everyday. Either going to expensive places to eat until we are so afraid to eat there for now or planning for things to do but never come through because of various reasons.

Last week, was the first time in this year, that I didn't go to my campus youth zone simply because of laziness. So there, I confessed, I was out with some friends playing COD4 again. I also had like the entire weekend off to myself. Hahahahaha.... My parents was away at Thailand on their business trip. So I had the entire house to myself. But being a good son, I didn't throw any party. And I also still did my chores. Am so proud of myself. XD

I also rearrange my room.
So neat right now? So where did all my stuff on the table when? It went here...
All that mess... used to belong to the table up there. Well at least now I have a work table in my own room.

I think I shall end here. I was just stabbed in me heart. Ahhhhhhhhhhh..... No camera for me......

-ZS-

*Edited*

Okay I'm back... after playing Generals I feel better. So what did I move exactly? Here's what I did...

Basically, I swapped the writing table and the display table.

It took me quite some time to move it around. The display case was very heavy and had to use lots of strength and balance to move it. Since I got so many things being display. Well that's rather it. I think I best start using back the old camera, pictures are not that clear anymore. RAWR!!!!

P/S My grammar is really getting bad. A lot of wrong grammar. Too much IM talking...
