First Month Passes...

How was January? =)

"What do you like?" 

I believe one of the many things that I have learnt through my experiences in Uni now is really how to prioritize your responsibilities and play. WE all have, not just one, but many LIKES. We all like doing stuff that make us happy, and to be honest, it would be SO GREAT if we could summon Shadow Clones and do all our things, and share a 'connected consciousness' so that we can experience all the things the Clones do all at the same time. So if you sent one to play while the real you studies, you are actually playing and studying at the same time! 

So the common idea here is that we all have to prioritize studies over anything else. Let's say you're done with all your work, and wanna play a bit. Which of your interests would you prioritize? 

Uni life really is the last platform before stepping into society. If all the saying that 'University is the best part of your life bla bla bla bla...' things are all true, I really wonder if that statement applies only to TALENTED people... I think I mentioned this before, but I get really TRIGGERED when I hear the word TALENT. Maybe its just me being salty that I'm not as talented, or rather, NOT TALENTED in anything I do. Even this blog name says it. "I'M NOT TALENTED. I PRACTICE ONLY." (I could have made it proper, but it was with intention to name it as such...) I mean, how's one suppose to make sure one doesn't fail ANY SUBJECTS while looking for experiences to claim that the time in Uni is the best? It's even worse when you have to maintain a scholarship! All you think of is study study study... And some friends I've met in Uni just talk nothing but STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!! 

I find such people BORING. They wanna live the 'Normal' life: Graduate, get a job, and work work work work work (sing it in Rihanna's Work song haha). 

What are their dreams? What do they look for beyond the scope of their degree? 

Sigh... It's a real tragedy if one just lives his life out by only working... I don't wanna end up like that... I wanna live my dream. I wanna be different. I wanna be among the best, no matter how damn untalented I am. Rock Lee said this once: " I was not born with a whole lot of natural talent, not gifted like Neji ...but I work hard and I never give up! That is my gift, that is my ninja way!"  Or something like "Hard work always defeats talent." 

I remember it was when Sasuke first met Rock Lee, and they fought... 

"I am not talented, but I want to continue to improve, until I can be worthy to stand among the talented people. And when they ask of my talents, I will say: I am not talented. I have none. I just practice. "

That is my way. MY way.

Here is the video corresponding to this posting: 

Ice it babeh~

Hey fam~ I'm finally back in town and I've done a video~

Hm... I hope I did fine....

Here's a bit of story behind this piece: I actually had planned to upload it on Wednesday, but at the last moment, I noticed that there was a syncing error in the video. It was rather bad, and I had to work back at the raw files to try and sync it again. BUT, the more I edited, the worse it actually got. It got to a point that I didn't want to keep trying to 'make it look synced', and I just had to re-record the whole piece to get a proper audio/video sync. Luckily it was just TV sized opening, so I actually enjoyed playing the piece over and over again... Well, for now; since I'm just back from exams.... Not sure if I will have the patience to do this again....

Not related to the sentence above... Just look how cute he is~ <3

Chinese New Year is just around the corner already, and here's the video for the season: Yuri!!! On ICE OP History Maker. 

Small Hold Up

Hey Fam~

I know it's been rather quiet from my side, but just to pop some news. At the moment, I have some examinations to sit through, and didn't really have the state of mind to do a proper recording. I'm almost done with them, so a video or 2 can be expected by the end of the month. At least ONE~

Damn I miss my piano. I took my piano home when I last went back, then I came back to uni without it, cuz 2 weeks of examinations not gonna permit much time for practice anyway.

I hope I don't forget what I've arranged so far. So do stay tune, and thanks for dropping by!

A Year's End

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!

Whoosie Daisy~

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. 

So here's the corresponding video for this posting:

Sheets are here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4FAsYcU02gsVkhPNHFWQWZfUUE

See you again~ 

PS: I'll be heading over to Comic Fiesta later this week, so if you are too, uh, maybe just say hi? Haha... 

Results = Efforts?

Hi.

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...
