Back from a great journey

Finally, I am getting to blog again. I just came back from a holiday overseas, and I enjoyed myself a lot there. Shall tell you all about it!



We went to Bangkok first. The hotel there was the best, and I got to see the Loi Krathong festival (where they put the banana leaf lanterns into the river), and it was very interesting. We put in our own. The sky train system there is like Singapore's MRT, except that we had to buy tickets every time we took it. There were also a lot of roadside shops, and I bought a handmade notebook for drawing!



Then we went to Macau, you know, the one with all the casinoes. There was so much neon I could have blinded myself down there at night!!! Hotel not as good as Bangkok, but it was still nice, because the wind outside was so strong, and you know, strong wind makes me feel good. Haha! :)



After that, we went to Hong Kong! There's so many buildings there, more than Singapore. But the scenery from the top of the mountain is really really really wonderful. The wind up there's really cold too. I enjoyed it.
We went to Disneyland!!!! I saw LT's Mickey Mouse hat and gloves there, but didn't buy. Very cold that day. Temperatures reached 14 degrees Celsius. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr



Well, I enjoyed myself!!!! So much!!!!!!! It was the best holiday ever!!!



Alright, I'm back now. And guess what? I FINISHED FIRE EMBLEM 7!!!!!! Including Hector Mode! I maxed out Karel, Marcus, Wil, Rath, Heath, Guy and Priscilla, and Karel (my favourite!)killed both Nergal and the Fire Dragon! He got A Support with Guy, so he criticalled (is there such a word?) the dragon. And killed it. With a lot of Wil's help, of course. Originally, Wil killed it, but I restarted, and I got Karel to kill it.



Anyway, as you may have noticed, I now have some links to fan sites in my sidebar. You can visit for fun, or if you are a fan, go join!



Oh yes, I can't play Maple anymore :((((((( My parents think it's too addictive. I am so SAD. boooooohooooooo...



Oh yes, about the wallpaper, I decided it wasn't good enough. So I started a new one... It'll probably be up in 1 month's time.



And anyway, if you want to read my fan fictions on the internet, visit this site.


Till next time!!!

Ah, I am BACK again






Heeeellllllllloooooooo everyone who reads my blog :) I am BACK yet again! :)
Just for your info, I am working on another wallpaper, and it's going WAAAY better. You shall see it up on my blog soon. So be patient!

More Music


Here are the next 5 best Maple Story music pieces, according to me.

6) Snowy Hill

Description: Very nice, that's as much as I can say. The best adjectives I can use to describe it with are distant and ringing. Kind of...heavenly too.

Score: 8.5/10 -- Listen to it for quality entertainment



7) Riprey Fire Area





Description: A very dark piece of music. Beautiful, nonetheless. It sounds nothing like synthetic music, though it is. Really beautiful, and suspenseful.



Score: 8.5/10 -- Listen to it for quality entertainment



8) Abandoned Tower





Description: A very dreamy piece of music, very glorious, makes you think of magic and stuff like that. Very nice.



Score: 8.5/10 -- Listen to it for quality entertainment



9) Waterway Maze


Description: As the title suggests, the music is very...watery. And the instruments they used in there are nice to. Mysterious, also the background music in a ruined castle, like "Door to Sharenian Castle".


Score: 8/10 -- Listen to it for quality entertainment

10) Horn Tail

Description: A nice, rhythmic piece, quite dark, and very suspenseful. Turn down your speaker volume before listening.



Score: 8/10 -- Listen to it for quality entertainment

So...wait for the next installment, with my next 5 faves!

Anyway. I found a really FUNNY video on YouTube. For all you Harry Potter fans, here is Potter Puppet Pals in "The Mysterious Ticking Noise".







Hilarious, ain't it?






Oh yes, I have taken a break from Fire Emblem for a while, cos I'm trying to complete a lot of wallpapers and fanfictions.
And did you know that AF (the friend whom I visited the other day) managed to get, like, 6 people to start playing Fire Emblem? Really amazing, you know! She was the one who introduced ME to Fire Emblem. Yes, AF, I am talking about YOU. :)




Oh, I HAVE to blog about this. I got a 29/30 for my latest exam compo! Yeah, I nearly fainted. As in honestly! For all the other exams, however, I didn't do...too well. Sighs. But compo is all I care about, and I'm very happy :)




Exams have ended, meaning hols are coming again! Meaning more MAPLE!!!!!




Wait and see, I'm going to do the Sharenian Guild Quest, then I'll get to level 30! Yeah!




This is me in "Japan" in Maple, also known as Zipangu.























Yeah, I'm finally level 25. Here's the pic of me achieving it:






















Oh, here's a pic of me and CrazyLT and Sabriel and Wakey on the way to Singapore. Forgot to put it in last time.

So, till next time! I'll be working on the wallpaper.

10.10.07

Back!

I'm back to blog, finally! Tomorrow is my last exam--math! So I'm at my friend AF's house to "study"... hehehe

As you can see, I'm NOT studying. I hope my parents don't see this.

And I was browsing YouTube. Here is one of my favourite videos:



Hope you can see it. The music is lovely. It's actually background music from Fire Emblem, but orchestrated, and it's WAAAAAY nicer! :) Ignore the disturbing pictures.

Music

And I've got some music to share! Must-listen music:

1) Unknown Tradition

Description: It's like, perfect, and it sounds like Chinese music, with bells and flutes and the like. The beginning isn't too nice, but the music thereafter gets soooooo nice, you'll fall in love with it immediately!



Score: 10/10 -- MUST hear!



2) Door to Sharenian Castle


Description: Sounds very mysterious and...ancient, makes you think of a lost civilisation, which it IS supposed to. Sounds wonderful, heavenly according to my sis.



Score: 9.5/10 -- Still MUST hear!



3) The Clocktower

Description: A chime-y piece of music, that makes you feel like you have no troubles...ah, you'll love it if you like music that is uplifting and rising, you know. And it really reminds you of a clocktower.

Score: 9.5/10 -- Still MUST hear!

4) Unknown Keaggy

Description: A nice, Chinese New Year-mood kind of song, which I really enjoy hearing, because it sounds so festive. Reminds me of firecrackers...

Score: 9.5/10 -- Still MUST hear!

5) Unknown Frolic

Description: Quite nice, uses pentatonic scale as well, so sounds Chinese too. Very lively, and makes me feel... just happy!

Score: 9/10 -- Still very good

So that's about it for now. I'll be posting my next 5 soon!

1.10.07

I'm back!

Hello again, readers. I'm finally back after like...a month and a half. :)



Latest news: I'm level 25 in Maple now! I met some of my friends in the september hols, and they finally took me to Singapore. Yay! The S'pore background music rox!



I discovered that my favourite book series, Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda, has been turned into an anime series! Here's just a preview. It sure looks nice!




Anyway, I've finished Eliwood's tale in Fire Emblem! Hooray! I'm doing Hector's tale now.



It's exam time soon, so I've gotta go. Till next time...

Hi once again

This is T, back to blog! I didn't get to blog for quite a while... right now, I am very bored.



For the past 2 days, I have been working on a wallpaper which looks LOUSY. I don't know how to make it any better, and I keep getting it wrong!!!! EEEERRK!



(Note to those Fire Emblem fans: I didn't do that on purpose.)



Anyway, about the wallpaper. I hate my wallpaper. I HATE MY WALLPAPER!!!!! I dunno why I keep getting it totally WRONG when I try to draw on it. I am so uranium bad at using Fireworks!!!!!



Never mind about that now.

Okay... I can't wait, it's gonna be the holidays soon! Yippee! It means more Maple!!!!!! I'm gonna level up to level 30 and get my 2nd job in NO TIME!

Look out for more posts to see my progress in Maple.

Oh, YJ, you found my blog?! How???!??!??!

28.7.07

Hello!

This is my first post for my very first blog, Sea Mystery! Well...That's the shorter name. It's actually called "Arrows of light pierce the depths of the sea..." but call it Sea Mystery for short.




So...Thank you for reading! I shall be blogging a lot about Pokemon, MapleStory and Fire Emblem. Yay!




Let me tell you people about myself. I am a person with a LOT of nicknames. Shortest being T. So if you want, you can think of me as T. Yes, T. :)



I am a kind of weird person, with lots of weird ideas.



And I love the sea!!!! I wish I could live by the sea...


I like music too. And composing music.


I like writing stories too!



I like places that are quiet.



I HATE shopping, and I love sports, especially sprinting!!!

Let's see...I shall write about Pokemon first.



My favourite Pokemon is Absol, the super cool Dark type which can predict disasters. In my gameboy, I have a level 82 Absol!
The picture on the left was by me.










Next, up is Ninetales, the beautiful cream-coloured Fire type, which looks very mysterious (with all those tails). Picture to the left drawn by me again.









Third,the graceful and elusive Milotic. Nice, isn't it?
The picture to the left was drawn by me too.

Now Maple. Presently, I am a level 23 Swordman/Warrior, but I'm going to land of Wild Boar the next time I get to play (which will be in the September hols), so I can GAIN EXP! ^_^ I will become a Spearman, then a DK!!!
I'm thinking of going for the Guild Quest soon. I read some background info, and find that the story behind it is very nice!
And that's me down there.

















Third, Fire Emblem 7.

Cool game, it is.


According to a personality quiz I did, I am Wil, yay! That's the archer, in case you didn't know. That gave rise to the front bit of my blog title. Nice to be the sociable person in the group. Lol.



Anyway, my favourite character so far is Nils, since he can refresh and get people to move again. So I use him with Serra and Lucius, when fighting those who are strong against weapons. Lucius uses lightning. Serra heals, but still not full hp. Nils refreshes Serra so she can heal Lucius again.



My second favourite character so far is Lucius. Because his magic so ROCKS!!!



Am I writing too much? Haha, just like me to do that.

So...that ends my very first post!!!!
