due to severe time constraint, I have decided to stop blogging for the time being because it is eating up too much of my time. I do not know when I will return, but when I do, I hope I will be able to continue with it smoothly. oh yeah, I will be doing my reviews once again after I return, but I will not continue from my last time. which means that since I've watched finish Kanon, I will no longer review it. real sorry guys, but I seriously have to find time for myself. hope to see you all again soon! =) ja ne~
*NOTE I will still be active on the tagbox just in case anybody requests for a certain file or song. I will try my best to fulfill your requests. (",)

End Of Dreams, End Of Holidays
:
well, Kanon has ended and so are the holidays. erm, well... "holidays" that is. jeez, why can't we just get a decent holiday FOR ONCE??? why must our holidays be plagued with homework and extra classes? especially this one week holiday... we had to go to school every single day. this isnt really that bad to me. what really pisses me off is what happen afterwards. the teacher will scold and nag at us for not doing our homework then say that they have given us the WHOLE week to do them. hey I got an idea! why don't you cancel the extra classes so that we REALLY have the whole week? now isn't that better? -.-".
and thats not all!! don't you just love how the teachers tell about their student days when they DON't PLAY AT ALL and boasts that they ONLY STUDY. seriously, I've had enough of these stories... more than enough. I just cannot bring myself to listen and believe these "motivating" stories of theirs. have not realised already that WE DON'T REALLY CARE??? you're just wasting your time... then when they waste their time, it becomes our fault because they are naggy. why don't you just keep your nagging and scolding short since you "don't have enough time till the O levels"? dunno how to do it? let me show you: "ok, I don't care. if you want to fail your O levels, its fine with me. if you don't hand it up later, I will report you to Mrs Djie" (and then continues with lesson). JUST HOW HARD IS THAT???
ok, lets move on to a brighter topic shall we? at the end of Kanon episode 24, there was a short preview on an upcoming anime show called: Clannad.
this show is made by the same producers as Kanon (Key) and it is actually almost the same as Kanon, as in storyline, character, character design, art, animation. if you'd ask me, I would say that this is a Kanon re-remake. despite that, I'm still looking forward to it =). it is going to be aired on Japan television on October 2007. there is also a movie of it which is just an alternate retelling of the TV series. it will be shown in cinemas on 15 September 2007.
oh yeah, yesterday I was surfing a few anime blogs, and I came across one which has this video. in my opinion, the maker should've subtitled the song so that those people who don't know Japanese will understand why a perticular scene is selected for a particular part of the song. anyways, this video is about Naiyuki and it is kind of sad if you followed the story... oh well.

Tanya: "I Smell A Dead Blog......" NOT!!
:
well, I've got to say that I'm getting a little lazy to post anything in my blog, so sorry about that. this time around is mainly because I want to enjoy my holiday to the fullest before hell starts again next week. even when I haven't post for a few days, nothing much happened. the only special event is the outing on Thursday.
Mingyi, Zhecong, James and I went out to Bugis and spent our whole time in the arcade O.o. actually, we ate lunch with Marvin and Ruifeng at the beginning, but they had to go home. anyways, it was fun! though the enjoyment starts to fade at around 6. we started off playing games like Time Crisis 4, Ghost Squad, Outrun 2. oh yea!! Outrun 2 has a new machine thing! now, it can sit two people for one screen, so the machine is actually one car which can sit two people. because of this, a new gameplay was added to the game. it is the 2-player cooperative mode. its prety simple. all you need to do, is choose who starts first then the person will start driving. after a few minutes (sometimes a few seconds), the control will be switched to the other player and he takes over where the first person left off. its quite interesting, but if you have a noob playing with you, then it might get a little frustrating. at the end we stayed at the part with the stacker machines.
today is the release of Kanon's LAST episode!!! hell yeah!! but I won't be reviewing it... because I still have a few in line. all I can say that the ending was.. ok. its not really a memorable one or anything. I feel that the producers are trying to squeeze in too many things. I think with 25 or 26 episodes, they will be able to make a proper closure to the series.
well, the depression of Naiyuki starts in this episode. although Naiyuki is a girl with very good character, we were shown in this episode that she is too dependant on her mother. without her mother, she is nothing. she does not have the motivation to live anymore, and confines herself to her little dark room, just like a closed heart. however, she cannot be fully blamed for this outcome. it is normal for a person to feel this way, especially if you have been living with him/her alone for your whole life and then he/she got into an accident. what Naiyuki did not know, at the moment, is that she is not alone. she is totally blinded by her mother's accident and even result in chasing Yuuichi out of her room when he tries to console her.
her heart began to "close" when she is in the hospital with Yuuichi. their principal, who drove them to the hospital, left soon afterwards. for the whole time in the waiting room, all Naiyuki did was sit on a couch and kept staring downwards with blank eyes. all Yuuichi could do is watch over her.
while Naiyuki was looking down, she was actually blaming herself for what happened to Akiko, thinking that it is her fault for asking Akiko to buy the strawberry cake. Yuuichi shouted at her for saying unnecessary things and then Naiyuki went into her room. this is where the confinement starts. from here, Naiyuki stayed inside her room and did not care at all about anything which is outisde of her room, including Kitagawa, Kaori, and Yuuichi who tried to console her.
aside from Naiyuki's situation, we were shown that Yuuichi remembered what happened to Ayu. it was after Naiyuki chased him out of her room, and Yuuichi lied on his bed and dozed off. in his dream, he recalled rushing off to the tree where Ayu and him called a school. he intended to give Ayu a present since its his last meeting with her seven years ago. after talking for a little bit, Ayu decided to climb up the tree. while sitting on one of the branches, a sudden gust of wind blew and Ayu starts to lose her balance. as it is seven years ago, Ayu was still a child and therefore very light. sadly, Ayu fell off the branch and looking at the way she fell, it seems like she went head-first.
Yuuichi immediately woke up afterwards with a shock. he grabbed Ayu's bag and the little angel toy and rushed off to the place where the big tree is. Yuuichi was having a lot of difficulties because there was a blizzard at that time. after a while, Yuuichi couldn't hold on any longer and collapse onto the snow-covered ground. when he was lying on the ground, he asked himself "If I stay still like this, will I be able to go to where she is?". in that last flashback, Yuuichi saw Ayu died with a smile on her face. so this explains why he questioned himself.
just then, Makoto suddenly appeared out of nowhere. and lied on top of Yuuichi's body. Makoto said Yuuichi's name and then car's light appeared infront. Makoto's sudden appearance here has definitely leave a big question mark, but it will be explained in the next episode I think.
the episode ended off with a little flashback. it shows that Yuuichi gave Ayu the present which he had intended to give and it turns out to be a hairband. at this point of time, the audience is probably wondering, how did Yuuichi manage to give Ayu the present? didn't he throw it on the ground after seeing Ayu fall off from that tree? also, isn't that fateful day, the day Yuuichi had to leave the town? so how is it possible that Yuuichi manage to give Ayu the present? well, this will be explained in the later episode so don't worry! =).

No More D&T For The Holidays!!! woOoO!! =D
:
hehe, today is the last day of the D&T lessons for the holidays. I'm glad, but at the same time feel that I want more lessons... weird huh? well, I can only concentrate on my D&T fully when I'm in school. whe I'm at home, all I can do is normal homework, and after finishing them I will not have the mood to do my coursework. sianz... oh well, hope I'll manage to pull through this year =).
ok, as I had stated in my tagbox, I did not have anything at all to talk about yesterday, so there wasnt any posts. today is dfferent though. I have a few updates and also new songs, including Bleach's latest ending song, and Getsumen To Heiki Mina opening song. I was very happy indeed, because I wanted the Bleach song very badly after seeing it =). the transfer rate was amazingly fast, and I got them in about 10 minutes. cool huh?? -.- right lets move on...
when I visited Marvin's blog, I saw that he has a new flash player thingy. I checked out the website and it is really really good O.o. the music are very updated since they are user uploaded. I even managed to get the Bleach ending song from it which has been released just yesterday. I don't think I'll be using it to upload music though, cause my account may be banned if I upload copyrighted materials. so I guess I'm just gonna take the songs from other people. anyways, the website is called imeem.
ok, while I was searching for some information for a cd, I came across this!
for you Yuki Nagato lovers, you can view the general details of this PVC here =).
and that is not all!! I also came across a sneak preview of the next Eri Sawachika PVC over at AnimeNewsNetwork. they have detailed information about it here. and here is the picture:

Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou Ep 4
:
alright, today I'm going to review Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou episode 4. it seems like I had pushed this side when I was choosing anime to review, so I decided to clear this part of my 'debt' first. I had the time to do it today because for some weird reason, I had the time to do so. I was surprised myself that I have so much free time. I'm planning to pass up 2 maths ws tomorrow, so I'm hoping that I will be able to =).
well, today's holiday class was ok, except tha Mr Yip kind of 'exploded'... hais. Computer Studies people are soooo bloody lucky. oh well doesn't matter anyways cause its over. today there was an English enrichment course too, and we got an old man as our instructor/teacher. he's not bad... but its just that he makes the class a little boring thats all. I hope tomorrow's lesson will be much more livelier. haha, right after our enrichment course, people immediately whipped out their Nintendo DS or PSP and started playing. Jingjie asked me to bring mine too, but I don't dare... you might never know when Mrs Kow or whoever will walk pass your class O.o.
the fight with Ryouichi continues in this episode. from the last episode, we saw that Ryouichi obtained his powers from that weird bad guy due to the darkness in his heart. why he has that darkness was explained in this episode, as it shows the relationship between Raito and Ryouichi when they were young. this episode also tells us how fighting can lead to the loss of innocent lives. quoted from Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto: "Really... Those who wish to fight should just keep it to themselves".
Raito and Ryouichi had known each other since they were very small. their brotherly bond started when Raito found Ryouichi sitting next on the ground. Raito said that since they were kids, Ryouichi had been alone and therefore Raito is his only friend. both of them eventually became best friends and when they were older, they decided to start a band together. it was actually Raito's idea because he wants Ryouichi to make friends with other people instead of him. then, a problem occurred. Raito had to change the song which they made together due to the recording session. as a result of that small problem, Ryouichi disbanded from the others and disappeared. Raito found him some time later, but before he could convince Ryouichi, a strange lightning came down and they got seperated.
ok back to the current problem. after Raito talked to Ryouichi a couple of times, he still do not want to listen to him. at the same time, Tatsuma and Kyouichi were trying to figure what the problem was. Tatsuma figured out that Raito is not an enemy as he wasn't fighting seriously, none of his attacks were aimed at vital points, and his eyes aren't stained with blood. nice observation skills if you'd ask me.
Ryouichi's abilities were also shown in this episode. when he plays his guitar, he is able to control the vibration of air. as a result, he is able to 'play' people's voices, move their bodies, and make things float.
when the battle with Ryouichi begins, they had to fight against his human body. he used his abilities to fight against them. this fight was cut short though, because Raito released his power and stabbed Ryouichi in the chest. it seems that he didnt hit the vital point because soon afterwards, Ryouichi suddenly turned into some kind of a crow demon and flew away.
after chasing Ryouichi for a while, he seemed to have lost his stamina or powers, becausehe turned ack into human. the episode ended with Ryouichi trying to tell everybody about the Dark Law, but it was unfortunate for that bad guy to be there and so he threw some sort of a sledgehammer and it hit Ryouichi's heart, killing him instantly in Raito's arms.
Tatsuma protected Misato from Raito's attack

My rating for this episode: 3.5/5

three cheers for EA's stupidity!! HIP HIP HOORAY!! HIP HIP... ah screw it. well, I've come here to give you guys bad news. I've just went in GameSpot to check things out, and saw that Northern Strike will ONLY BE AVAILABLE THROUGH ONLINE PURCHASE!! oh...my...god... great job EA, you've just lost another customer and I'm sure the counter is still increasing. seriously, did they ever think that everybody will be able to pay through the internet? pleeeease EA, use your brainsssss. I know its a waste to create a box and put it in a cd since its just a booster pack, but being such a big company EA is, why are they thinking money sooo much?? EA, next time when you're releasing an expansion or booster pack, PLEASE STATE IF ITS ONLINE PURCHASE OR NOT >=(. oh well... no point complaining. I just hope the multiplayer will still be the same, even with the Northern Strike features. never mind, I think After Burner will lower my anger when it comes out next Tuesday =).
