Finally, after what seemed a month of pure horror and torture (note that I am exaggerating, exams was kinda fun), it has ended! No more studying until late at night, waking up early (to study) and then dying of boredom after finishing English papers.
Reflecting on myself, I haven't really thought about how I did for the exams. I just sort of sprinted through it, wanting to reach the end before looking at how far I have gotten myself, like an Olympic runner running without stopping, even though he had long crossed the finishing line.
The day after exams was like a wave that had reared so high finally come crashing down. There was a mixture of feelings for me; relief, peacefulness, a little boredom, and of course, the anxiety of what waits in store for me. I hope it is not what I think it is.
In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy myself doing things that most teenagers would do, including going out, and spending my life in front of the computer. Oh, and don't forget basketball too! It is a fun game where you dribble a ball and toss it in a hoop to score. If the ball gets in you get points, simple as that.
And today, at school, we had a dodgeball competition. I got hit four times. End of story. I am not in a mood to blog now, when there are so many... delicacies around, so if I may, I shall bid myself goodbye. Oh, and here's a little video for you if you find this dull. I'm sorry, but I'm just too moody now.

Here I Am, Once Again
Finally, it's the holidays! After the pressuring exam, where I am forced to sleep late and wake up early, I can now sleep late and wake up late. It's a win-win strategy for both the morning (or afternoon) me and my night (or midnight) me! Hoorah! Best of all, I have an entire week (most probably less due to procrastination) to study biology paper 3, physics paper 3 and chemistry paper 1, 2 and 3. Which sucks. Oh, and Chinese. Which sorta is useless since we took the main exam already, and our teacher said this was more like an "exercise".
Ah, and for the first three days of the holiday and I am stuck at my 'kampung' already. You know what that means right? Bring out the drumroll, it's... the suck-ass computer of uselessness. Okay, fine, it's not entirely useless. At least there's the internet (even though I can't do much besides downloading things and reading articles), the Microsoft Word's working, and my cousin lets me watch some of his anime in Chinese sub.
I will reach home in due time, and it just shows how grateful I am towards my computer. Actually, it doesn't, but who am I to argue with the little perfect identity I created myself that stays locked up somewhere inside me?
I also browsed a lot of youtube videos in the lpast few hours/days. Anybody heard of a recent movie called "The Thing" which is a sequel but is actually a prequel of the movie "The Thing". Sounds confusing? It is. Basically, both movies are titled the same, one made in 1982, one made this year in 2011. The movie in 2011, which is supposedly a sequel, is actually the prequel of the 1982 movie. Somehow the alien in the movie gets lower quality textures upon reaching the 1982 movie.
While the movie is quick and a little fast paced, the storyline isn't too bad. A few scientists in Antarctica discovered a spaceship and an alien life form trapped within an iceberg for God knows how many centuries. The scientists then decide to take a tissue sample and make a discovery that will "make them rich and famous", though what it means is actually rather vague.
The alien itself is merely called The Thing, hence the title. It has the ability to replicate the cells of its prey (basically it copies what it eats) and imitate the person to get close to other food sources. In a group of paranoid scientists, this creature does fairly well in causing chaos.

A parody of the movie by Smosh. What a cute little Pokemon.
In other news, I am rather excited for the upcoming Heart of the Swarm, an expansion for the Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty campaign. New units will be introduced, and the campaign will feature my favorite race, the infamous Zerg.
In addition, a new game will be introduced by Blizzard, titled Blizzard DOTA. Yes, you guessed it, another spinoff! But don't worry, the graphics are amazing, the heroes quite interesting (ranging from various Blizzard games) and hopefully it is a custom game for SC2.
Sweet, eh?
That's all I guess, for now. I don't think I can continue to use this computer; the keyboards are snapping and biting at my fingers. They are harder than rocks, I say. I'll probably do a post on an anime review, a short one, mind you. I'll also probably post a short story that you guys might be interested (or not) in reading. Basically it takes place in the universe of my own creation, where magic exists and the world is made much more scarier that way. Till we meet again.

A New Makeover, and An Endless Nightmare?
As the majority of you readers might have noticed, my blog has undergone a big change, just after around 2 weeks of no updates. A huge change. A total renovation, if you will, and all because of some stupid blogspot advertisement that said, "Hi, we have a new template for you!" And I was like "Oh kay, let's see what's so good."
The thing was, I forgotten my old blog template and had pressed the button without much of a second thought. And so, a new shitty version of my blog appeared. Most of the things were out of order, and the color of words had undergone some changes until you can barely see them on the black background. My fishies are squished into a small spot and the archive corner is pulled so long that Jormungand (Norse mythology, Google it) would be ashamed of itself.
The bad thing was, I couldn't figure out what my old template was. There wasn't an undo button (not that I am aware of) that I could just use to return everything to normal. So I went through their many list of examples and templates to change my blog once again. In addition to taking up more space and having huge gaps between them, there have been a slight change to font and font size. Title is now above the picture as well as white in color.
I also added a section of blogs that I visit once in a while, most of them belonging to anime blogs. There are a few from my friend that I recommend reading. You may find it enjoyable. I also added 3 slideshows just above my fishes, one on anime, on on the beauty of nature and one of games and misc. It was sort of a do-it-in-a-pinch kind of thing, and I hope you would enjoy them. In addition, I added some websites which I use and find resources from.
Also, the reason for my absence in the past few weeks was because of my time spent on games, chatting with friends, facebook and writing stories (in the favor of H.P Lovecraft and his creations, especially Cthulhu). Then there was also my friend Jarren. He just came back from Australia to spend 2 weeks in Malaysia for his holidays. It was fun there, which included a swimming pool, a hair salon, Weeping Angels and Dr. Who. It was a really enjoyable time with him, and he's safely back at Australia now. I hope to see him the next time he comes back! On a side note, do not take your eyes off angels made of stone that moves towards you with their hands outstretched everytime you looked away. For more information, watch Dr. Who Series 5 or Google for more information on the Weeping Angels. You may also refer to the video below.
On to my next topic, I am currently taking my final exams. Yes, the dreaded, horrible, exams filled with enigmatic and horrible questions, waiting to rend your flesh, feast on your bones and steal your soul. It is not that bad. I make it sound bad. Which means that I am bad.
Pressure, pressure...! So many subjects to study, all before the 10 day holiday (which I plan on focusing Chemistry) and each one the day after the other. Tension's building up, everybody's studying and I'm trying my best. I really do hope I can score. P.S: No RKA day!
Of course, anime for the fall season had to come out at this time. Spending restless time downloading Hunter X Hunter, Shakugan no Shana III, Persona 4, Guilty Crown, Boku wa Tomodachi wa Sukunai, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, Mirai Nikki, C Cube, Working Season 2, and last but never ever least, Fate/Zero!
I have been waiting and waiting for that anime since the beginning of the month after getting a whiff of rumor of the anime. Although I have downloaded them, I have not watched them, lest they get stuck in my head and suddenly appear in a subjective question. It might doom me forever!
And lastly, due to exams and all that crap, I'm going to be on hiatus for a short week, and will probably only update it during the holidays or weekends. That's it folks.

Back to Civilization
Sorry, my faithful readers, for I have been on hiatus for the last few days. Or last few weeks, to be more accurate. Yes, I admit that I have been slightly neglecting this blog for a time now, and I am terribly regretful of that.
So, let's start at the very beginning of the list. The coming year-end exam is giving me a headache. So far, I'm not so worried about Additional Maths now, but more of Chemistry and Physics. Those two subjects are giving me hell at the moment. And then I look at the Form 3s and I envy them. My facebook is piled with statuses upon statuses of Form 3s talking about PMR. I mean, compared to Form 4, PMR may seemed like a kindergartener's work. The level is completely different between the two. Trust me, you will miss objective questions once you come to this Form. Form 4's objective are evil, abusive and evil.
In other news, I went back to my 'kampung' in Johor, which is Muar, on the 16th of September. The motive of this trip back to my hometown is because my cousin who has studied in France for 5-10 years (somewhere in between, wasn't really bothered to remember) came back and my uncle is celebrating by inviting most of my relatives over for dinner. It was fun and all, especially with my cousin's daughter and my uncle's son. But my main topic about this is the COMPUTER THERE SUCKS.
I know, I know. You guys must be saying like, I'm suppose to enjoy being with my family since that is the purpose of that trip. I know that too well, and I do feel a little guilty, but I am a person who has entertainment needs. So, any of you remember the post where I complained about the computer which sucked? Well, guess what? It decided to take the word 'suck' to a whole new level.
In addition to being slow, laggy, prone to hangs and unresponsiveness, the computer decided to add certificate errors to its list of problems. Now I am unable to login to Facebook, go to my Gmail, or even log in msn. Then of course, I couldn't even download anything because Megaupload and Fileserve were unusable. The only 3 download sites which work were Zomgupload, Uploaded and Hotfile, and they weren't the best. At least I get to use eBuddy and chat with several people, so it wasn't all that bad. Ok, fine, it was that bad.
Now, on to the latest news. My best friend has just touch down today, just in the wee hours of the morning! He will be staying here for 2 weeks and I am sure it'll be fun. The sad thing is, my exam starts next month, so I will be a little torn about studying and enjoying time with him. But swimming is definitely in the equation. HOORAH!
Oh yeah, I nearly forgotten to mention. Some dumb barber cut my hair wrong and now it looks like crap. The end.

Ulcers are Evil
That's right folks. They hide in secret, plotting ways to bring you down and make eating food above average temperature a living nightmare.
Recently (around the start of this week) I bit my lip, and lo and behold, an ulcer grew. I named him Pain. So anyway, it's white and gross and it hurts like a donkey. It was tolerable, until a second ulcer grew. Just beside the first. And it hurts like a turtle.
So I renamed the first ulcer into Not-So-Pain and the new spawn into Pain. I had so much trouble eating that at one point I downright refused to eat hot food (as in high temperature, not the spicy kind of hot). I was about to give up, was about to fall to the ground and cry out, "Let it all end!"
But then, I found my savior, coming in the size of a small bottle in shining armor. White plastic, actually. It is actually a Chinese remedy, mirabitilum praeparatum (quite a mouthful) in English, and 西瓜霜 in Chinese. I have no idea how this powder is made, nor how does it help, but after 2 days of applying it, Pain and Not-so-Pain began to shrunk and disappear. It was like a miracle!
In other news, this holiday doesn't feel like one. My dad was admitted to hospital (no biggie, don't worry guys) and I had to go to the hospital everyday. I watched the newest Bleach movie on Youtube, and I have to say it's one of the best so far. There was plenty of action, something which the previous movies lack; nice emotional parts showing how much Ichigo cares for his friends and family. Youtube must have taken it down by now, but I can say that was one of the best personal subbing I have ever seen.
I am regretting not studying much this holiday. I guess I have to buck up on my studies now before the year end exam. Form 4 subjects have proven to be a major challenge and I do not want to fall behind for the year end exam. Anyways, happy schooling to all!
P.S: For those of you who want a quick way to throw up, eat till you're full to explode, then Google Images "ulcer".

It hurts like a turtle. Or in this case, a tortoise.

Ichigo's awesome hell powers. I have no idea how he gets a new ability every few episodes or every movie.
