Estuans interius, ira vehementi. Estuans interius, ira vehementi. Sephiroth, Sephiroth.

Yes, One Winged Angel, Safer Sephiroth, aka. "the rather imbalanced final boss of Final Fantasy VII"'s theme song.

Obviously I know the song was released about a decade ago, but the first time I listened to it was like, yesterday? Love at first "hear"? (Bleh, that wasn't a good one).

Just in case you wanna hear it. Click HERE.

Being a rock fan, I seldom hear songs of other genres, especially orchestra. However this song just, well, rocks. Listen to it (if you haven't) and you'll know.

LYRICS:

Estuans interius
ira vehementi
Estuans interius
ira vehementi
Sephiroth
Sephiroth


Sors immanis
Et inanis
Sors immanis
Et inani


Veni, veni, venias,
Ne me mori facias
Veni, veni, venias,
Ne me mori facias

Veni, veni, venias, Gloriosa
Ne me mori facias Generosa
Veni, veni, venias, Gloriosa
Ne me mori facias Generosa

Sephiroth
Sephiroth

----------

Yup, the lyrics are in Latin. You want the translation? GO SEARCH YOURSELF RAWR.

Oh, in case you haven't seen THIS before, go watch it. It's Sephiroth's ultimate move, pretty cool for a video game released IN 1997.

Alright, a big thank you for those who actually READ this, since my blog is nearly dead now. Tada~

Random.

Yes, random. LOL.

Alright then, our school had some kind of "Inter-class Drama Competition" on Wednesday and guess what? Our class DID(n't) participate. Too bad, but the other classes were pretty much okay. The title was "The Phantom of the Opera", not much to say about that, but damn some of them were just too funny. (Persian > Singaporean LOL)

Thursday, it rained, yes, rained. No football for the poor boys (I'm not a football fan to be exact). Basketball, badminton, what else?

Friday, it's either UNO cards or chess for me. Played 5 rounds of chess with Xi Jun and only won 1 (yay). Gee, everyday is nearly identical after the exams lol.

Currently making a new novel lol, in case you didn't notice the obvious sneak peak near the top of my blog. It'll be long if I'm not THAT lazy, 20 chapters, more than 25 characters and non-stop thrill, since it's a fantasy-action type novel.

Yep, gathering at 1U tomorrow, gonna watch 2012...

... (Damn I seem to ran out of ideas to post after the exams lol)

Tada~

The Post of ULTIMATE RANDOMNESSz

Surprisingly, I felt kinda bored after the exams. It's like; my holidays schedule consists of like, 90% playing. (No, I'm not kidding, seriously, *slaps*)

Here's my holidays schedule (only applies when I have no ongoing activities or tuitions)

9.00am- Wake up, play.
10.00am- Take a bath, play.
11.00am- Play (again).
12pm- Play (YESH, again).
1pm- Lunch
2pm- Play (Damn I'm bored already).
3pm- Play
4pm- What else?
5pm- Play.
6pm- PLAY. (I'm getting tired of this).
7pm- Dinner
8pm- .yalP
9pm- ... (Hint: The answer is PLAY)
10pm- Sleep.

YESH, THIS IS MY HOLIDAY SCHEDULE. No, don't mistake me, I hate studying, but too much playing is kinda boring as well, seeing the same characters everyday killing the same monsters (MMORPGs), fighting a boss I can't defeat for the 100th time (Console Games), aiming my P90 and planting my opponent's body with bullets (MMOFPS), it's boring, literally.

Here's my own "survey" on "games" and "stuffs related to it". (Nothing else to do now lol)

Phew, finally killed some of my boredom by writing this lame post. Tada~

TOUHOU (part 2)

Since the last Touhou post (about a few months ago) didn't impress some, this time I'm going to explain about the game "Touhou", in a more detailed way.

CLICK HERE FOR INFO.

Touhou is a game created by a one-man game developer named Team Shanghai Alice. His name is ZUN. Yes, he's the main programmer, scriptwriter, graphic artist, and music composer of the game, no kidding. This game is proven to be the most drastic "bullet hell" game ever made, and until now, there are 10 Touhou games including 2 fighting games and one spin-off.

Yes, bullet hell. It ain't the shooter ya always play. Normal shooters won't have more than a hundred bullets on a screen at a time, but in Touhou, there are 200. LOL.

PICTURE TIME. (they are different from the past post rawr)

NOTE: Everything or anything which has different colours than the background are BULLETS. Character is marked with a GREEN box. Bullets cannot touch the small red dot (hitbox) of the character. Every pictures below are from the hardest mode in the game, so don't be afraid, easy mode is just EASY. Last Word is a boss's finisher move.

And this is just the bullets of a normal enemy in the hardest (lunatic) mode.

Final stage, yet it's just 2 enemies but the bullets are more than 200. =.=

Sakuya Izayoi's Last Word- Deflation World. YESH, THOSE ARE KNIVES, HAPPY?
Eirin Yagokoro's Last Word- Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web. Spider webs prove to be dangerous sometimes, especially in bullet hell games.
Reisen Udongein Inaba's Last Word- Lunatic Red Eyes. And she's just a moon rabbit who can drive people insane and blablabla.
Alice Margatroid's Last Word- The Phantom of the Grand Guignol- The combination of a girl and her 8 dolls. Beautiful eh?
Tewi Inaba's Last Word- Ancient Duper. The finisher of yet another bunny, and boy those bullets are just FAST.
Yukari Yakumo's Last Word- Profound Danmaku Bounded Field -Phantasm, Foam and Shadow (Part 1). Long name, long spell (you have to survive for 90 seconds!) and also the hardest spell on Imperishable Night.
Yukari Yakumo's Last Word- Profound Danmaku Bounded Field -Phantasm, Foam and Shadow (Part 2). Second part of this hell. Yes, all of the red, blue and purple "cards" are bullets, yes, they form a pattern.
Yukari Yakumo's Last Word- Profound Danmaku Bounded Field -Phantasm, Foam and Shadow (Part 3)- The final 15 seconds of this hell. Imagine guiding your character's hitbox past all of the narrow-spaced bullets, WITHOUT GETTING HIT.
Some Perfect Cherry Blossom pics. (PCB is the hardest Touhou game available, taken from TouhouWiki)

GAWD, this is not even a spell, it's just a boss's normal attack, I mean it, NORMAL ATTACK.

Yukari Yakumo- Bounded Field "Boundary of Life and Death". Mind counting how many TYPES of bullets there are?
Yes, now it's time for TEH ULTIMATE REVIEWS. D:

*Drum rolls*

Gameplay value: 8/10
It solely depends whether or not you are interested in shooters at the first place. But it's no harm trying even if you HATE shooters very much that you prefer bashing your head against the wall than shooters, since I don't really call this a "shooter".

Replay value: 9/10
Which shooter doesn't have a good replay value? With so many bosses and some OMGWTHBBQ-ing bullets, replaying is a must.

Storyline: 9.5/10
Each Touhou game (7 altogether) has a different storyline with different girls introduced (Yes, everyone, the protagonist and antagonist are girls). Plus, these characters are just memorable. (hugs Reisen)

Sound: 9/10
MOST shooter's music are just repetitive, but this isn't. Seriously, these musics actually represents what stage/boss you're in/fighting. And ZUN is the only one making it, yes, all 100+ musics, cheers!

Learning Curve: 7.5/10
Yes, every Touhou game has different power-ups, score systems and sometime penalties. You need to get used to it when you play, or else you might just crash into a bullet. But once you mastered it, it won't be the slightest confusing, seriously.

Overall: 8.5/10
YOU LOVEz SHOOTERS? YOU MUSTz TRY.

To get it, for CHS-ians, just call/MSN me and I'll give you the game stored in a thumbdrive. For my online pals, just MSN me and I'll give you the link, since posting the link here isn't a smart decision.

YAY, just YAY.

YAY.

Yup, just one word to fully describe today's mood. I MIGHT not be doing well in the exams, but who isn't at least "a little" relieved that hell hath ended its fury. :D

So, what I'm gonna do now, you may ask...

1.) Complete God of War 2. (OMGWTHBBQ I HAVEN'T DONE SO AFTER KEEPING THE CD FOR 2 YEARS.)
2.) Pass Touhou 8: Imperishable Night on Normal. (Yup, I couldn't pass it before)
3.) Pass Raining Blood on Hard on Guitar Hero III. (Damn it's hard)
4.) Download Dragonica, Combat Arms, Sword of the New World (Grando Espada) and Warriors of the 3 Kingdoms.
5.) BUY DISSIDIA: FINAL FANTASY rawr.

Short post, will post more after I completed the above "tasks". :D

Exam Madness 2009

Somehow this upcoming exam is really making me mad. D:

Today is arguably the LAST actual holiday before the exam starts. And yet, I still hadn't enough confidence yet to score at least (YESH, AT LEAST) top 20 in the class... *Bangswallahundredandonetimes*

Although I studied and hopefully, mastered most of the subjects (Note the word HOPEFULLY), other than Sejarah (History) and Geography of course, it's always hard to actually relax during the countdown for the final exam, which is TUESDAY, 2 days from now. D=>

This is probably one of the VERY, VERY few times I actually got nervous about an exam I took for almost 7 years. Nervous... Nervous... Ne...r...vo...us... *Jumpsofthegrandcanyon*

Alright, enough posting for now. Yeah, my blog is kinda dead. Hopefully it'll be revived after the exams. See ya!
