Amnesia: Memories, Finally

Hey, everyone~ 

     Damn, it has been a long time since I posted something. It's almost the end of the year already, just, wow. How time flies.

     So after that Zero Limits concert, I was back in university again, this time to start my First Year. Psychology. Ah, the study of the human mind :3 Very interesting topics they have, though the course is very research-based. I mean, it's SPSS and statistics and journals and theories everyday. Every. Day. Ha. Ha. Ha. There are just so many articles and research backing up or countering one another, it's hard for me to keep track. The only topics I'm interested in are mostly emotions and relationships, haha. Mostly because I can relate to them, but I aspire to work in the fields of counselling or clinical psychology someday. Hopefully some research based on love <3 I wish I can be a relationship coach someday. I don't have the right skills now, but someday, maybe.

     Mostly I'm busy with my course and society activities. I joined Baking Society again, even though I wasn't very active last academic year. But this year, I get to be the Head of Baking Session and teach others ^^ Well, more like guiding them, really, if they have any problems with the procedures, but I tried. I'm still learning, even though I have experience in baking. Sigh, if only my macarons aren't such failures, and to think I thought I got down the techniques right. Guess I still need some brushing up. All in all, it was a fun term. I love the committee members of Baking Society this year :)

     I'm also a Secretary and PR in Gaming Society as well, but I feel like I still needed improvement in contributing to the club. I'm not very good in tech stuff, not very familiar with some genre of games, and I tend to have anxiety when it comes to engaging with others at times. But I'll get there. I just needed a confidence boost. I'm just glad I get the opportunity to work in the society and am able to meet with the members :) I'm happy with the committee in Gaming Society as well.

     In December we have study break until the end of the year because we have exams in January. And, of course, there's Steam sales <3 I'm not an active gamer on Steam, but recently I logged back in and tried to find more games to play. Team Fortress 2 seemed fun, so I downloaded that, but I only played for a while, think I'll continue playing with my uni mates when I go back in January, after the exams.    

     BUT, THERE'S AMNESIA: MEMORIES~~~~~

     Finally, FINALLY, I found some of my favourite visual novels ^^ That, Clannad and the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni series. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, AMNESIA HAS 90% DISCOUNT OMG!!!! IT FINALLY BOILS DOWN TO ONLY RM5.60, SHIAWASE~~~~~~ I can even afford to buy the Higurashi games, life feels awesome :D Too bad I can't afford Clannad, it's RM80 after the dicsount, sad :( Some day, maybe.

     BUT HEY, LET'S FOCUS ON AMNESIA~~~~~

     For those of you who don't know Amnesia: Memories, no, it's not Amnesia the horror game, it's a Japanese otome game, something like a dating simulation game where you're the heroine and you get to pick which guy you want to date and just follow along the story. The goal is to pick the right responses in order to get a happy ending with your guy character. Otherwise, you might get a bad or normal ending. In this game, the heroine basically lost her memories because a spirit bumped into her consciousness and merged with her, accidentally replacing her memories with his presence. In order to get them back, she got to travel to one of the four dimensions: Heart, Spade, Clover and Diamond. Heart is Shin, the tsundere kouhai (junior); Spade is Ikki, the popular guy whose eyes can attract girls and thus have a fan club of his own; Clover is Kent, the nerd who wants to understand the ways of feelings in a scientific manner; and Diamond is Toma, the big brother figure with a yandere side. These are the four guys whom you can choose, but there's a fifth guy, the Joker in the cards: Ukyo, the mysterious man with a split personality. Whenever anime guy characters have darkened undereyes, you know they're cray-cray @@ Brrrrr.

     So for the first two days since I got the game, I attempted to woo Toma in the Diamond world, haha. He has always been my favourite character since I watched the anime adaptation of the game years ago. He's a little overprotective, but hey, I like big brother types >///< My choices led me to 2 bad endings: getting caged by Toma, or being pushed down into the well by Ukiyo. Sigh, sad. With the help of other people's walkthough, I finally got the normal ending of Toma leaving me for good, and the happy ending of being together with him. So that's one guy down, haha.

     Thing is, every time I try to play the game, my laptop keeps crashing >< I don't get it. It's something to do with my display drivers I guess. I have tried to update it, roll back it, and even uninstall and reinstall it, but nada, it's the same video_tdr_failure or smthing like that, sad. Anyone having the same problem? I played Skyrim for some time and it kept going blue screen during that as well.

     I now try to get the endings for Shin's part, too, but too many crashes >< Guess I should focus on my studies for now. Exams in January, wargh.

     SPAMMING PICTURES TIME >:D

Senpai >/////<

ZERO LIMIT X MERDEKA MADNESS OH EM GEE~~~~~~

Howdy~~~~~~ MAN it's been such a long time since I last blogged, haha. First Year in Uni is about to start, so lemme crack my knuckles and blah all the details of my first experience in attending a concert (nope, school concerts don't count, hahaha :P).

So it was just some random August day, I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed when something bout Far East Movement popped up.



It just so happens to be near my neighbourhood!!!!! What are the odds??? I was just so shiawase~~~~~I mean, rarely there are concerts in Penang, especially with people like Far East Movement!!! But then, it's here!!!! I HAD to buy the tickets!!! :D

So little old me took a hike to the nearest mall to purchase the Golden Ticket. Ended up just with one ticket for me ._. Sad. Asked around but not much ppl to accompany me, sobs. Ah well, at least it's early bird and I get a free drink. Much cheaper, weeeeeee.

So I twiddled my thumbs and hoped some familiar faces will be there. Well, at least my friend accompanied me (arigatou TwT). I just felt so out of place when I entered there. It was still early, but, the way everything is set up, with alcoholic beverages and neon lights and tables and VIP zones, you'd probably thought the whole thing felt like an outdoor nightclub @@ Even the girls there, makeup and dresses and shorts and crop tops. Me in my university T-shirt and jeans, haha, I was wearing so normal. Ah well, at least I didn't attract much attention.

I was there a little too early. While loads of people went off for the Bersih 4.0 in KL, I lounged around in Island Plaza until my friend arrived. As much as I told myself I can handle it on my own in the concert, honestly? With such an adult and unfamiliar atmosphere, I felt...scared? Like a country girl stepping into the big city kind of feeling. I wasn't dressed the part, so, I didn't feel like I belong.

The concert started off with cultural performances to give that Merdeka feel, but during that time, only a trickle of people came, and they were dressed to the nines: makeup, high heels, short shorts, fancy revealing tops. The crowd was mostly composed of the concert crew. Foreigners came to the concert too. I felt bad when Sars from Mars and others were on but the crowd gave such little response. They just stood round the tables, sipping beer and chatting with friends. Only some at the front and back raised their hands and waved to the beat, including me. I was way at the back initially, letting the fresh beats and music wash over me while I stood by a table. It was rather calming, an escape from my worries, even though the beats boomed out and wasn't exactly tranquil music or anything, haha. Still, it was nice. 



When Noize Faktor came up and I was handed a glowing styrofoam stick, I just had to let out my childish self. I jumped, I waved, I screamed, the adrenaline felt amazing. Especially when you're in front row, hoho. 

Took a break for a while and went to claim my free drink. No alochol, mind you, just plain ol' Redbull.

There was also Irwan and Phatt from Amsterdam. Damn they're good. 

Far East Movement though, immediately the crowd took up the whole place. 

It was damn wild, with a big blowup duck, shirts and even one of the DJs themselves thrown into the crowd. Damn I want that shirt ._. sobs. Felt like I should have worn my new black H&M lucky neko dress. Maybe Far East Movement will notice me more, haha, cuz their shirts have lucky nekos at the back. I admit there was a little bunch of sour grapes, but ah well, I enjoyed the concert overall, it was damn nice. Redbull had never tasted sweeter, and the night had never been more fun than this time. With the speakers booming in my ears so loud, and me being the crazy kid jumping up and down, I felt like a grandma after that: ears deaf, head aches, legs sore. I think my neck hurts, too. And I'm still alive late at nite after just a can of Redbull, lol. I'm surprised my throat is still fine.

I should hit the hay now. New phone, new books, new experience. So to the new semester, please treat me well, haha. Oyasumi~~~~~~
