It has been a long ride, reaching the end of 2016... Thinking back, I did had a TON of fun ( way before Uni started that is). I did all the things I didn't do in high school: I started watching anime, I grew my channel, I worked (wonderful eyeopening experience), I started making my own sheets (something that I thought was impossible when I was younger) and I played my games! There was Pokémon, Dota, in which I bought a compendium for the very first time, I had Undertale, which was a really enjoyable game, and of course the BEST STEAM buy ever: Final Fantasy XIII!! Holy smokles, the memories~ There was just so much fun time for 3 quarters of the year, and I DO NOT REGRET every moment spent the way it was spent.
The Big 4 that kept me "busy" LOL. Blogspot sucks with pictures haiz.
OH I also attended my first anime convention Animangaki (AMG), and recently, my first Comic Fiesta (CF)! Personally, I prefer the experience in AMG over CF. At that point in time, everything in AMG was new and fresh to me. I didn't know how it would be like: the queue at the ticket counter, lining up to meet your cosplay idols, and just immersing in the music that the band was jamming away on the main stage~ Much wow I must say. As for CF, I wouldn't say it wasn't a good experience. It was still enjoyable, but now that I kinda know what to expect, things just didn't feel as exciting compared to AMG. Not to mention that AMG was way before Uni started, and I had ZERO RESPONSIBILITIES as a student XD Once I got into Uni, there was time to manage so precariously, studies to keep up, and MONEY to think about... And seriously, take my advice: if you ever wanna enjoy any anime conventions, you gotta have a seriously big budget.
Coming back, CF was held at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) last Saturday from this posting, and I would say the atmosphere wasn't as great as AMG, but nonetheless it was still acceptable. This time, I went prepared: I bought the Early Bird Tickets and boy was it one of the best decisions ever made. As soon as I got off the train station, there was already a queue all the way from the entrance of PWTC! And the station is at least 5 minutes walk from the centre! And it wasn't just ONE queue; there was a mob of them. Fortunately, early bird tickets got a green light to the enter immediately. Phew! As per great events, words and pictures won't depict the actual atmosphere there. You have to be there to understand how it's like. All the walking, the waiting, and the cheering is just in a realm indescribable by words. But here are some pictures that will share a bit of my one day experience at CF~ (PREPARE FOR SOME SUCKING PICTURE ALIGNMENTS!! )
This was the queue at Ying Tze's booth and other cosplayers as well. @@
Some rock band jamming away~
WOOTS! ONE PUNCH MAN! FEEL THE POWER!!! ARGHGHHHHH!!!!!
This was a tribute to Koji, Digimon's theme song singer. I cried a bit here =(
A Saber here~
HOLY SHYT DO YOU SEE HOW HANDSOME KING IS??? I SERIOUSLY DON'T MIND BEING GAY OVER HIM HAHAHAHA As long as he's good looking under all those make up LOL XD
A WOW Kakashi <3
And some selfies with a random Titan staff in CF, Angie (top right) and Ying Tze (bottom right). Lovely ladies <3 <3 <3 Not the Titan lol... It's a guy underneath haha.
Wow. It really has been a year. This year I have had many first time experiences in many things, and I am glad to have chosen to do the things I did. Being all so studious for so many years, I have finally experienced the life of a student whom enjoyed the things a serious students wouldn't be able to. What a year, what an opportunity. As for the new year that is looming, I just want to work on my shortcomings as a person, and continue doing the things I love responsibly. May I prioritize things right and may I be able to develop further. To those who have been with me since the start, thank you for the support. It really has helped me cope with my doubts regarding the materials I make. To those who will join me later: Thank you for for even dropping by my channel, and if you wish to know more about me, you are more than welcomed to join me on this little adventure. Thank you everyone. It has been a rather exciting year, and may we see more great things come into life in 2017. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi again~ This posting is wayyyy overdue... I've been procrastinating, feeling lazy now that I'm into my study break for a month. Dude, the past weeks were a hard fight.... Tests and tests again... Hopefully I get to honor my efforts with some good results eventually. Snip bit: I do feel VERY INCLINED TO ARRANGE ANIME songs now. O.O Oh no...
The performance I mentioned some time ago and some places all over my media was relating to my Uni's Japanese Culture Society... and the only songs fit to be performed then would undoubtedly be anime songs... And for the past weeks I've been practicing some of those, and not so much on my pop arrangements... So as of now, I will be making some progress in my next Chinese song arrangment, so to whoever requested those songs, I apologize for the wait, but the most I can do is really 2 videos a month. One live recording, and another synthesia sheet video. I will continue to answer those requests, and hope to still have you around when I complete them. Thank you so much for your patience and support.
There really isn't anything worth sharing this time, but perhaps I should start giving those who really come in to read a little touring around my uni here.
Where am I studying? I don't plan to disclose it directly =). So perhaps as a first, this fountain here should be the very first hint of my institution.
I did think of taking more photos around, but work got me lost in a loop of responsibilities, and I forgot to snap pictures as I went about my daily routine.
So just a head start announcement: I might be changing my recording plans. There are still requests to be fulfilled, but I am in the midst of preparing a repertoire for a performance next February. I would have to smoothen out some rough edges, and just try to get past the audition first before making serious arrangement regarding my playlist.
AND FUN FACT: Most of my blog posts are posted at night, like LATE at night. So pardon me if you found that my previous posting were rather awkward, it was just me being sleepy and tired when doing the posting. Even right now, my eyes are SO DROOPPY I could just dive onto my bed and fall asleep right away..
So again, I will start sharing bits and pieces of my institution, and try
to answer those song requests.
Well, I can't think stragight lol. Perhaps all those late nighters are catching up on me...
Here's the video for this posting: Eric Chou's This Is Love. I will be working on the sheets for this, so do subscribe to stay updated to my postings!
I'm late ^^||| I don't think I need to mention how time is such a constrain right now. It literally has become a norm here, to the point that you don't really have a choice. You just will be busy!!
So speaking of being busy, my uni here has been rather lively for the past 2 weeks. It had its annual sports carnival called the Nation's Cup, and it was on for 2 full weeks. Fortunately, I am part of the student's association and was lucky enough to be placed under the marketing and media team and got to watch some really clash between sports pros! Yay! So, the lucky part is that I was in charge of a few events in which I had to provide coverage over. Photos and videos were the main ones. We had the liberty of choosing the days we could contribute our part, and I chose those days with more indoor sports as they had a few games that weren't so much heard of in college and in high school. Ever heard of floorball? I didn't until then. @@ Or maybe its just me being a noob for not knowing a sport called floorball existed.
@@
The one sport that REALLY attracted me was dodgeball. In terms of interest, floorball and dodgeball rank the same. But something just sparked in me about dodge ball that I haven't been able to word it out. It's an enigmatic feeling that just draws my mind to it. The matches were VERY intense. And quick. If I remember correctly, there were maybe 7 or 8 a team, and the games were so fast paced that in one particular game, when I looked up from my phone after sending some photos over to my Head Of Department, there was only one member from each team left.
The 1 v 1 matchup...of just 1 side haha.
Look at dem ballls.
Then came the closing ceremony on last Friday.... which I felt was VERY DRAGGY. Prior to the start of the Nation's Cup, the organizing committee decided that ALL prizes were to be given on the final day. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. So there I was, standing with my team, snapping pictures away, updating the Uni's Facebook page etc for nearly 2 hours straight while standing. Heck I don't mind standing. I've stood longer when I was working. But it was just that the series of medals and trophies distribution eventually lost its sparkle/omph when it hit the hour mark. At that time, I was seriously BORED THE F out. In the end, after about 2.5 hours, with the prize ceremony still going on, I decided to leave for a bit to grab a bite. Just to recalibrate my focus. @@ So that's all that has happened over here in wherever I am for the past 2 weeks. Corresponding with this is a video I uploaded a week ago. If you're ever still interested, the video is a TUTORIAL video on Kataware Doki from Kimi No Nawa. And the sheets are here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4FAsYcU02gsTDdSTTVJNjFtREk
So before I close this entry, LOOK AT SOME CUTIES IN MY RESIDENCE!!
XD Mummy kitty chillaxing while her kittens sleep on the padded chair. How cute~ <3 Alright! I will resume working on my next video which will be an Eric Chou song once more, so do stay tuned to my channel in the coming weeks. Thank yu and have a nice day~
Hey all~ It has been only 2 weeks since my last update but it feels rather long already... I guess that's how things will be from now on. Not to mention how many test there will be too from this week onwards! And coincidentally, they are also every fortnight! @@ T_T With every passing day, I seem to reminisce more about the days when I had absolute freedom and control of time, and not having to worry too much about school work and school test and school assignments and school this school that and everything related to academic responsibilities. I could play my games, I could adhere to my weekly video quota, and I could work! Back then, the people I met gave me a glimpse into how society would be post education. And, those I met weren't top scholars; they were all normal people trying to keep up with the elites in their respective school. The conversations we had were all on self development and improvement, and never about academic results. I guess in the end, even though your results determine where you end up in the future, it really boils down to how you will write your own "story" after your schooling arc. I guess that's all for my lame stories for now LUL. Heads up, I will be back to my usual program of doing sheets and pop songs. I've gotten quite a few requests already, so do subscribe to stay updated! Here's my last anime song for the month: Nandemonaiya, the Ending Theme for Kimi No Nawa. ;_;
Thanks for the support for my previous video on Kataware Doki! It has reached close to 200 views already, so I guess I will be working on the sheets as promised!
Ding Ding~ So things haven't been too busy just yet, and I managed to squeeze in a recording session. It's another anime song, Kataware Doki from Kimi No Nawa.
Graphics on point, story line on point, moving songs on point.... All I can say is this is really a good one. I personally recommend it to everyone, even if you are not too into anime. The last time I ever watched an anime movie like this was a good 3 years ago, and that too was an old movie Spirited Away. My aunt bought it as a present for me when I was very young, while not knowing too much about that movie herself lol. I watched it after she gave it to me, but couldn't make much sense from it. It was only after I rewatched it 3 years ago that I manage to appreciate the art and story. THAT too, IS A MUST WATCH. Time to move along~ Do drop by my channel to watch the video, and if it reaches 200 views,I will make the sheets =D. This is a special quest as my anime videos hardly reach over 100 views... #sadlife So if it makes it to 200 views, I will keep my word and work on the sheets.
So again, I will start sharing bits and pieces of my institution, and try
XD
