Steamboat!

Been a long time since I last went for a buffet and boy, was I really full that day.

Food was not bad, spammed the fish and pork over there, coupled with crabs here and there, and continue to spam more meat into the tom yam soup base. Pure food awesomeness :D

crab shellsssssss failed in an attempt to crack its claw with teeth power :/

more fish and sotong and fish and sotong and fi-

didn't actually went to count the no. of plates of food we actually took but I was pretty sure we ate alot. Like really A LOT. :P 

Nice refuel after a tiring morning activity, really had fun over at the dinner, going crazy at jokes and spamming food at the same time :)

OH YEAHHH! :D

This week's series episodes were kinda weird in their own various story developments. Either the writers pushed the story too fast resulting in a less than desired result, or perhaps giving a stated fact that I don't actually see that it was actually a said or made fact.

Over this week's Psycho-Pass episode, apparently Kogami has now been deemed as an individual that is not able to get near to Makishima due to his desire to kill him rather than the Chief's decision to capture him alive to add him into the Sibyl System. Seeing the chief all alive again would mean that the one that Makishima had killed was not the only "shell" that she or "they" had, and they are still very interested in obtaining Makishia's brain to add into the Sibyl System. And so goes the marvelous plan to attach Kogami to another division so that he can continue to track Makishima down discreetly which unfortunately led to him almost being killed by the Chief's altered dominator that was swtiched to Eliminator mode, in the same way that killed Kagari off. Akane had asked Kogami to promise her that he'll be an inspector and not a dog that just hunts Makishima down and at the exact same episode, he breaks his promise and asks Akane to forgive him as he had chosen the path to hunt down Makishima Shogo. Normally it would've been a rather emotional scene with Kogami now having left the team and is now acting on his own, but the "promise" sequence was too short to actually made it prominent enough to be emotional. I mean who makes a promise and then later breaks it so so soon?! Kinda predicting now that Kogami might not survive the end of the series (sense a death flag somewhere) where it's entirely possible for Akane to actually finish Kogami off, in whatever reason, but I definitely hope for a happy ending to this. By far the story has been good and I'm hoping that the end would not ruin this wonderful original series.

Shin Sekai Yori brought a rather interesting surprise and a pretty weird declaration by Satoru too near the end of the episode. Apparently the fiend itself was said to be Maria's and Mamoru's child and as a fiend that does not have the effect of death feedback, he/she was able to kill Shisei off, who wasn't able to kill the fiend due to his death feedback. And that's another big powerhouse gone and the rest finally discovers Yakomaru's true plan to take over the human race. Which was to capture human infants and make them grow into fiends to help overthrow the human race. And the first one that was released, was the child of Maria and Mamoru. For a moment, I actually thought that it was Maria herself, until I saw the child build and I questioned myself again. It was until the end of the episode, where Satoru actually openly said that the first target Yakomaru was after was Maria and Mamoru's child, and that didn't surprise Saki at all. Which was when I went "Wha-?" I didn't actually see how the identity of the child was identified. There were no clues or whatsoever that led to them thinking that it was their child in the 1st place. Nor did the child openly declare that he/she was their child. The fiend only beared similar looking hair and eyes as the two, but by the way Satoru sounded, he was pretty confident, as though it was already a known fact. Awkwardness awkwardness... What Yakomaru did might have reflected what the older generations of humans actually did, when the Cantus users went against the normal individuals and "took" over the world, where every human being was able to control the power of Cantus. And so it seems that the age of fiends and Queerats would be arriving. Am really quite interested in how the issue of the fiends would be settled, and with the fact that the child was risen by the Queerats, it would be rather obvious to say that there is a very high possibility that Maria and Mamoru are really dead now. Perhaps they were taken in to "protect" them, until their child is born and the two were killed off to let the fiend breed until the time was right to lead the rebellion. Looking back at how the story connects all the way back when they were still kids, it hurts me to see how much the group of 5 has suffered and now only Saki and Satoru are left.

Had been ironing out pick picking skills over the guitar over the past weekends, having learnt like 3-4 songs where only one actually had a playable solo portion. Magia's one was so damn fast :X


had managed to almost complete Aozora no Namida, all except this weird looking part over here, at the start of the 2nd verse. Sounded rather weird and the finger positions are really awkward IMO. Gotta get used to this and the up-down strumming method rather than just constantly going one direction :/

God Eater 2 latest PV! The new weapons look real cool! Hoping for more variety or monsters and added difficulty since the link-aid function is present. Localization please! :P




Another chord cover for Alteration. Gotta try and learn this :X
