Midnight thoughts

Sorry to readers who were anticipating a Warwick post, I have decided not to type one. Well, to be honest, I was in the area within the university campus the whole time and did not even visit the city centre.. so yeah, there isn't much to say. The only thing which was a new experience for me was the insane 8 hour bus rides that I had to take to and  back from Coventry - literally pain in the ass. Although I had to endure that condition, I was blessed to be able to witness snowfall during my bus journey to Warwick. I was taking a nap at that time. When I opened my eyes, I was so amazed at the view of snow just brushing by and also accumulating on the top of the cars passing by us. It was my first snow, so I am lucky I got the chance to make a wish.

2 weeks ago, I received my first semester results. Glad to say, I managed to pass all my modules and scored above average for most of my modules. The most surprising thing was, I actually scored 91/100 for my Animal behaviour paper. When I first saw my results, I was just dumbfounded. Among the 3 reports I did last semester, I scored the worst for my Animal behaviour. It was a miracle that I had 91, as my projected passing mark for the module had just soared to a first class score.

In between the time from the last blog post to now, I have watched 2 animes - Tokyo Ghoul and Baka to Test! Shokanjuu. Tokyo Ghoul is a masterpiece. The plot surrounds the modern society and this makes the story line even more realistic. Desolation, Hopelessness, Reality, Realisation and Acceptance. All these values were crammed into a single person, the main character - Kaneki. This anime was first introduced to me by its weird-sounding opening theme. (which is part of my playlist now). After watching the whole series, only did I understand the whole meaning of the song, and on the day which I finished the anime, it fucked me in the mind. Baka to Test is an anime from 2011, rather old, but it's comedy-filled. If you need a laugh while having dinner, Baka to Test is a great option to go for.

Yesterday, I ordered myself a nendroid.

Well this character is called Flonne, from the well-known Disgaea series, which is a tactical role-playing game available in various console. Since the mid of January, after my exams, I downloaded the first game in the series, Disgaea : Hours of Darkness and ran it with PCSX2 on my laptop. Up til my recent discovery of nendroids, I stumbled upon Flonne from the game and found it rather cute.  especially with this expression on. That motivated me to get one of the models for myself.

Also, the only songs that have played in my head for the past 3 weeks until now are Vocaloid songs. Most songs are brilliant in so many ways, the lyrics, melody, vocals (although  all are synthesized, they fit quite well in the songs). My preference though is to not listen to songs that are sung by vocaloid, and by utaites (people who cover the vocaloid songs - some of them can be found on my playlist). Most of the utaite remain unknown, so most listeners have no idea about the appearance of the person who sings that song. Curiosity kills man.

There are some famous utaites which vocals which I really fancy, such as :

Chalili

Mafumafu

Akiakane 

Guriri (My favourite)

Reol

96Neko

Ikasan
Glutamine

Man, too bad I have no idea how to sing, if not I wanna sing covers as well..

Anyways, Chinese New Year is coming soon.

To everyone, no matter overseas or in Malaysia, have a prosperous year and all the best in everything you do.

Signing off,
