Greetings! Today's post will be a picture oriented so this could be a change of way of writing! Recently, my aunt just returned from Japan. My requests of japanese magazines were somewhat met and today, I will be posting some scans! This will be a 2-parts special post with the first being introduction to the magazines and some trival stuff. Second post will be on the scans on various animes...(Animes that I somewhat know...)

Beside the magazines, my aunt also bought a souvenir for me! A mini sword!-kind of cool and great for my gundam to wield!
Before I end off, remember my previous post(if u have read it...), my digimon, a greymon, was my current one but... A few days ago... When I woke up and checked my digimon... Don't know what happened but I got a shock to see my digimon turned into an egg again... 'Did it died?' The only thing I thought of when I saw this truth... With no other choice, I decided to raise another digimon again and... Wow! This digimon was one of the cutest yet still quite mean-looking! It is called Dodomon! (Search through google if you want to know more!) I think I will be using it as the partner of my OC for my digimon fanfic! Right now, after some time, I managed to get it evolve to rookie stage! Its name now is called Dorumon! Can't wait for its champion stage and this is where the real challenge comes in; to make it to untimate stage! Oh yeah! Before I forgot, recently I tried scanning QR code to do battle with other digimons! At first, I had my doubts and tried on a random one... It turns out there is actually a digimon inside! The receipt of the japanese magazines just so happened, have QR codes behind!
Wonder what digimons are inside! I'm excited to find out once my digimon gets to its champion stage!
Finally! The long week of exams finally came to an end! Though it is only a week, it felt like a month... Nonetheless, some bit of my freedom is back! I can finally do some of my own stuff! (For example: update my blog...) Well then, let's start with some series stuff... Over the course of this week of exams, I realised how unprepared I were... Looking at the questions, I just wanted to get out of the exam place and take the exam on another day but that is not possible. What do I do? Do my best like always! Even though I felt more saddened for every question that I do not know how to do, I tried what I could do as much as I hate it... If the results are under expectation... I guess I am prepared for it!
Aside from my pathematic exam taking, I think my efforts put in really reap off what I should deserve... From my previous post (if you've read...), I planned to watch HunterxHunter movie after my last paper. However, it seemed that I really did not put in enough effort and thus, though the movie is still screening but it has been limited to one cinema which is quite far away from my house... Moreover, there is only one time slot for today... Maybe I am being too negative or reading too much into things... Though it is sad that I can't watch it today, I still can watch tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday! In a way, I find it as God's way of letting me have fun despite my lousy exam preparation! Still, maybe I am reading too much since this moive was out on 14 march! Meaning, I am sort of lucky that it is still screening! I should not have complain or feel that I am unlucky! Then again, such anime movies can be found on the internet so maybe I should not be in a hurry to watch? I guess I should save up my money for other movies! (Maybe there are even better anime movies release in the future!)
Well then, let's step aside from the gloomy and dark part of this post and move to a much cheerful and light section! First! In 3 days, I will be older by one year! As that day is a Sunday, my friend actually gave me a birthday present today! Boy, am I happy! It's the feeling of happiness that your birthday was actually remembered by someone else other than your family members! From my primary school until my JC1, if I am lucky, people remember my birthday and give me presents or at least wish me happy birthday! It is unlike other people who have at least someone who will remember their birthdays without fail! I envied them, who have people whom care about their existences... Sigh...
My birthday present! Given by my friend!
Along with a kawai bithday card! (SAO main characters!)
Moving on, my digimon... If you have read my previous post, I had started playing an app called 'Digimon Unlimited'! It is like the old digimon digivice game where you raised your digimon! This app had brought back some of my childhood memories and to be able to play again... I can't thank the producer enough! With that being said, recently I met with some sad news and that was that my digimon at that time, a champion... FAILED TO EVOLVE! I kept opening the app to see my digimon get to its next stage but was hit with this truth when I got to the evolution bar... I felt like breaking up but had no choice and reset y digimon... This time, I trained, take care of digimon carefully so that it does not end up the same situation as before but because of that, I got more scared to train it for fear of messing up... Sigh... I also tried the online battling!- it was quite fun unless you do not lose... Don't know if I did not train enough but I kept losing and that sucks... If u r playing this app, you can find me as Dark online!
My first rookie digimon...
My first champion digimon...
Currently my digimon!
After the loss of my first digimon... I became even more concerned about it! During exams where I have to leave it for a few hours... I was worried it woke up, calling for me but I, doing my exams, can't answer the calls... I find this a bit like my motivation to do my exams and see my digimon later!-Something like a parent, trying to finish his/her work so as to get off work and see his/her children!
With that, I end off with the fact that though I could not watch HunterxHunter movie today, I watched another anime movie instead at home! You see the trailer below though I believed this movie was out last year and recently had been subbed and released for watching!
Before I forgot, a little update on my projects! It would seem that while reading fanfictions online, many ideas came pouring into me! I think after my 'A' levels, I will be super busy! A little peek at a new idea I got from reading, watching and playing digimon again! Like I said, I had been playing the app called digimon unlimited! This app has a program where you can scan QR codes and fight the digimon inside! It is like fighting a digimon that is controlled by computer than by a human during online battles. I have been thinking of a story where digimon actually existed in this world but people can't see them. Because... They are... IN QR CODES! And that's the background where the main character's adventure will start upon being 'chosen' to be able to see digimon! So far, I had came up with a decent plot for a persona 4 fanfic, a W.I.T.C.H fanfic and also a precure fanfic! Adding up the digimon idea, it will be 4 fanfic ideas!- Can't wait to write them out and develop them!
I'm sure people in my generation would have played these before. They are none other than digivice pendulum that were popular in the past. You could say that currently in the market, such toys are no longer sold... But fear not, cause there's an app that allowed you to re-live your childhood! It's called: DIGIMON UNLIMITED! (Just type this in the search bar and you'll be directed to the app! NOTE: this is currently available for android; apple products do not have...) I just started playing a few days ago and my digimon is currently in its champion stage! Can't wait when it reached its mega stage! I'm looking forward to it!
With that, I started watching season 1 of digimon series and yes, I still missed my childhood show... I know that it is a very old show but I just don't get why people have to get so shocked at me watching it... It is not like I had never watched before or anything... The worst was that my younger brother said that digimon show is cartoon... I don't know what came over me but I was a little pissed off at how he see digimon as... It is DEFINITELY not cartoon because there is such a big difference between them... Ok, maybe I over reacted but that's because he was so freaked out when I re-watched the show again...Sigh... Need to manage my anger sometimes...
And that brought me to today's topic. I had thought I planned well for the coming exams but I was wrong... Somehow, I didn't realise I was focusing too much on my other subjects that I neglected others... I felt like a failure right now with fear that I am so going to funk this round of exams... Sometimes, I wanted to turn back time or restart but that... Is only possible in the fantasy world... That's why, moving forward is the only choice I can do and make the best out of it because there is no way anyone's life is perfect without knowing the unknown... Sigh... Right now, I am so confused as to which to do first for my revision... Ugh... (Got to pull yourself up!) You will think why the hell am I not studying but blogging. A simple reason is that I feel relaxed whenever I blog! It helps in de-stressing me! So yeah, I blog once in a while to relax myself!
Before I end off, psycho pass, an anime that had started some time ago, had finally ended... It is always sad to know that the anime you had been watching, reached its end but... I think when it is time to end then it is right to just end the whole story because I know that lengthening a story be it manga or anime, does not help at all... It make the story less appealing and losing its readers... It is just like death; when the person's time is up then yes, he/she has to go and though it is sad, we should send them off and move on from there. Because, I doubt they who died, wanted people to stay sad... Ok, I know I am starting to rambling some unrealated stuff...-_- So then, I wouldn't say the last episode was bad, considering that the end was quite a neutral end where the villian get killed and the good people somehow moved on with their lives... In a way, it was an end that none of the good or bad sides won... I am fine with that but an end without much dramatic closure... I was kind of disappointed; I was hoping for a twist like Akane killing Shogo instead of Kogami or that Akane become a part of the system... Something along that line... Then again, it seems kind of sad and I think the producers wouldn't want that. After all, killing off characters is kind of a sad thing and I think the series had enough of characters dying. So yes, I can accept this ending I guess... If you've not watched it as a fan of psycho pass, you should! I think most anime sites have it!
It was a great anime! So long, psycho pass!
I guess this is where I end off! Until next time when I am done with my exams!
It's been a while since I updated, huh? Currently, my CAs were over but my SAs are coming in a week... Meaning straight after my March Holidays... Sigh... When did March Holidays become a study break? How I wish I was in Secondary or Primary school again...
Well then, let's get down to the real stuff! First, my CAs... Not very well done, given that I failed two tests... Sigh... It may be depressing but it does serve as a form of truth that I still have much work to be done!
Next, I'm sure you're curious about the title! It may seem to be a small matter to others but to me... I find it a big and important matter that I really felt that I am a failure fr not noticing... It happened on Friday... A normal, average day for me and my family. Everything was normal; nothing unusual happened... Well, in my point of view that is... Because... Unknown to me... I did not notice she had an injury and no one to help her... What's worse is that I didn't notice until the next day when my little brother told me about... The dishes were left unwashed that Friday until next morning and she had to washed with her injured hand... In the process of it, the injury got worsen and her hand bleed a lot... Just hearing my brother's account of that matter and imagining it... I felt bad... Really bad... Why? Why didn't I notice it at all? Even though my star sign said I am observant, I was not able to find out about this until the next day! How pathematic! Ugh... To think I still want to be an engineer when I am not even a good observant... It may be my assumption but engineer observes so that he/she can know what needs and wants of a society! If I can't even do that, how am I going to be a good engineer that will provide a new future for the next generation... Maybe you'll say I am a bit ahead of myself thinking that way but... I just can't help worried I will be a failure in the future and thus, unable to be useful... Sigh... I am really very negative, huh? Not believing in myself... It's no wonder I have no confidence in whatever I do... That's a problem I need to deal with... Sigh...
And so, let's move on from the gloomy section of the post! It seems that in my country, japanese anime movies are been sceened in some cinemas! Man, am I excited to watch them! When my elder sister told me about a movie from one of favourite anime is shown in Singapore, I was like: 'Yes! I do not need to wait for the movie to be subbed to watch it online!' This is like a dream comes true! (For an anime fan that is...) Right now, this will be my motivation for my SAs so as to watch it after my SAs at ease! It's been a while since I watched a movie, considering the busy year ahead! I guess watching once will not hurt much; I guess I will take it a form of reward after completing my SAs! But of course the real reward is after my 'A' levels where I am truely free!
If you're curious what anime movie I am watching... Look below!
Here's a trailer on it!
My only worry is that the movie will be gone by the time I finished my SAs... (Please stay! A least until my last paper!)
It has been a long time since I updated! Today marks the day of the 'A' level results released. For my case, I only gotten my mother tongue result since this year, I will be taking my 'A' level and in a year time, I will be the one getting the results... Now that I think about it... I am getting worried...-_- First of all, my mother tongue results... It isn't fantastic like A or B but considering that fact I am weak in my language... I do not have high expectations... With that being said, I was not disapointed but rather relieved that I actually passed and able to stop thinking about chinese for a while and really concentrate on my other subjects! After that I went to see my seniors getting their results back. I did not stay long; just went to see how the overall result was like... I felt a bit bad to leave early but I firmly believed that I need to look forward and focus on what's before me! I know that by seeing the happy and sad faces of my seniors may motivate me but I am sure that what's important is to work hard and do my best so that even if the results suck or what... I will have no regrets!
Then, aside from that, a little introduction to a new anime I had recently watched! WARNING: the following content will be associated with the words 'pretty cure'... You have been warned so if you are not interested and you are welcomed to not read this. With that, to all FANS OF PRECURE SERIES! In case, you didn't know, there is a new season after Smile Precure! It's called... DOKI DOKI PRECURE! At first, I told myself I am not going to watch as the art doesn't appeal to me BUT... After knowing the backgrounds of the precures... One of them got me interested! Guess who is it? (If you've read my previous post, you'll know the answer!) For now, I will not say until this week episode (another hint!) as this episode will determine whether I really like this character! A little peep on the series itself:
Currently the series only has 3 episodes so if you want to start watching it, now is not too late! Recommended anime website would be gogoanime.com. For mobile phone, you easily find one through Google though the upload is slower so watching on computer or laptop will be a better choice if you can't wait! Before I end off, a little brief intro... For this season, each precure has a fairy partner and need their partners to transform! (just like the first and second series!) Next, the precures no longer say 'pretty cure' in their attack which is kind of refreshing! (If you've noticed the past series' attacks, all had the words 'pretty cure' in it...) And, currently that's all for now until more episodes are out!
With that, I will end off now with the characters of Doki Doki Precure: (hope this will get you more interested!)
