~no matter what happens, i'll keep walking~

well, been neglecting this blog for quite some time already, best to get back here to keep track of things, before i really lost it all.

let's start from the beginning. results. quote from Jack Sparrow: 'Not so bad'. although i don't think i did myself justice for history, or better known as UGC 111, World Civilizations. but overall, i think i didn't really disappoint myself. not to get complacent though, the trouble starts on jan 14.

then, well, there's the Japan trip. haha, yes, surprising, and slightly unwilling, i went to Japan, otherwise known as land of the rising sun. getting rather cliche, but nevermind. seriously, i have to say it was a disappointment. because i think i had too much hopes for that. one thing for sure, i went there in hopes of seeing my favourites, but ended up not getting anything at all. and i spent my time searching most of the time, which might explain why i didn't enjoy the trip much. 3 days of searching and looking out for things and all i got was 72 hours of complete wasted time. throw in 48 hours of stoning, that's, 5 days... i must say i confirm what was the conclusion i made ages ago. i'm not good with searching for things, and search engines... which is why i had a tough time getting what i want in life.

mostly, i must say when i stop thinking about what i want during the trip, i enjoyed what i saw. the streets, the different signboards, the bare trees, and the different atmosphere i was in, not to mention the coldness there. well, it's winter, what do i expect? the snow i saw, the snow i threw and the snow i played. the vast scenery i saw, the different landscape and the beautiful sights singapore will never in history and future get to have. like i said to my friends, it's lucky i stayed there for only 3 days with no anime/manga. else, i would have called everyone up and said 'bye guys, you won't see me anymore, i'm not going back to singapore'.

i took a lot of photos, a surprising thing to me and all those who know me. well i'm not in the photos i mean, but i kept snapping photos while on the bus, not all are nice, but at least it gets the feel of where i am. and well, if i count those that i deleted, i'd amount to 1045 pics at the end of the 5 days, but those i kept was 998. plus my dad's side with 289, that's a total of 1387 photos. not so bad.

talk about searching for things, i stayed up all night, or rather 2 nights playing Mystery Case Files Madame Fate. the absolute fantastic game of searching for clues on the internet. yeah i cheated a bit, kept using the telephone and skipping out on some puzzles, but overall wasn't so bad. the story goes is that this carnival owner who saw her fate of being murdered at midnight, request the master detective, that's the player to find who's the murderer. and as the game progresses, we realise that it's not her carnival employees who's going to murder her, but rather an old nemesis of the master detective, well, not really a nemesis, but rather a strange character which brings us back to the previous instalment of MFC, Ravenhearst. apparently, in the previous instalment, we, the master detective set free the soul of a girl trapped in Ravenhearst manor by her obsessive lover. and a twist of fate led us to realise that the mission the Queen of England has entrusted us was actually unfinished. there is still a missing page to the diary of the poor girl which incidentally, led to the release of the vengeful soul of the lover. claiming that we are the ones who stole his love, he has tracked us down to kill us, in the process, killing madame fate. and with that, the master detective receives a call at a lone phone booth, a call from the Queen herself, telling the master detective about the glitch, and the story ends with the distraught Queen wanting the detective to return to Ravenhearst at once, and a loud piercing scream from the detective when the phone booth was overshadowed by a familiar apparition.

well, that leads me to two question. will the 5th instalment be a return to Ravenhearst? or would we have to go back to the previous game to see for ourselves the ultimate truth? shrugs.

and about this whole killing thing... Madame Fate herself is afraid of being murdered. but has she thought about why people hate her? frankly, from her comments about her own employees, we can tell she's a mean person. it's not about the little things that she do to annoy her, like telling the two acrobats off for pickpocketing, or the guy to stop smoking. but rather her own attitude perhaps?

well, enough about the game, pretty freaky if you ask me, to be up late into the night, or rather morning, and hear screams and wails and ghostly revenges.
