I take fear as an extra dose of adrenaline

Hey ya'll,

I've just returned from my vacation in Kota Kinabalu Malaysia, on the day my li'l bro celebrates his birthday. It's been alright if I may say so. Many firsts like parasailing, gym, probiscus monkey, blooming raffelsia, white water rafting, hot spring (pretty much a joke), and shangrila hotel! So it was great, I had a fun time and I could watch disney channel anyway. But again Christmas consisted of exercise, eh I don't know what to do anyway.

Been thinking bout Light's look on vacation. I've drawn a few before I left bu I've come up with my own way of drawing her. The trouble is that I tend to forget the visual image I have of her in my mind. Typically ya'll may assume that I concentrate on Light too much, but I'm not sure on how to draw men because I don't have a handsome outlook (I dunno ). But don't get any ideas of me being a pervert. I'll be coming up with a drawing near the end of the year.

Yes it'll be the end of another year. Whoppe! And another day nearer to O level results! I'm really scared that I may not make it to my dream course and polytechnic. Don't worry about that now. Now, I have to focus on drawing and my novel if I want to stand a chance to prove that I've got what it takes to be an exceptional game producer. Though I have to start from small first.

Playing Halo 3 legendary map packs and Mirror's edge! Hey! If I get fit enough then I'll hook up on parkour and free running. Seems like a whole lot of fun! And a good way to conquer fear of heights. Talk about agility.

Oh well, gotta sleep, have to recharge. Pray My wish'll come true!

P.S: I take fear as an extra dose of adrenaline. think that way and you'll be able to conquer that, you just need to spend it out with some energetic actions. Fear of heights cancelled.

On The Mirror's Edge, A Giant Leap Of Faith

Hi all!

I caught Disney's latest movie, Bolt, and I even saw it in 3D! I loved the story though it's pretty predictable and all, I loved the Penny- Bolt relationship. And the original movie song- I thought I lost you- was awesome! Yeah I know you thought I was gna say Bey-awsome like that hamster. I'm not that nuts. Yeah, good to see John Travolta singing again, and with Miley Cyrus!

Hah! Finally got kinda bored playing Gears 2 and Halo 3 so I got caught up on a new game. It began when I was watching a Halo 2-3 montage featuring the theme song from Mirror's Edge. I found the song good and I had nothing better to do so I searched for Mirror's Edge theme and searched up on the game. It was a new arrival so I went to my xbox and downloaded the demo. I played it, had laughs when I made big mistakes, and was fascinated. The game engine was spectacular! The slick and cool movements I could excecute with the environment and other people got my interest.

What's more is that it's something like a first person shooter where you have the eyes of the playable character, this gives me a more personal feel of the game and I feel like I'm actually free running! The graphics make it almost realistic such that I have finally conquered my fear of heights. I felt like a real free runner and I loved it. And so It won't get so boring, they included firearms which I can disarm from their wielders gracefully.

But another important thing is the storyline. It sounds common and the cutscenes are in 2D, but I like the animation and that it's more into the future so the mystery may be a lot different. Though it doesn't have multiplayer things and other competitive stuff except speed runs, I cold still play around with the maps as my ghost completes the race. The time trial map pack is even more stunning as the player can leap through a seamless world of possible routes. It's an entire playground!

Hey! My parents have always complained about playing violent games with guns and killing, but I'm still going to get this as a family Christmas present for them. It minimises on firearm usage and anyway it isn't so violent, more acrobatic. Can't wait for the full game!

I don't think anyone has read this far so I'd better go off now. i won't be saying anything on Dark-Light.

Gotta run!

Runs to the edge of the roof and leaps over an out crop of steel, and over to the next building.

Sweet love story

Hi,

To begin with, I'm finally 16, my birthday is on the 23 of November which also happens to be the same as teen popstar Miley Cyrus! It seems that we were born on the same date in 1992 so yadda yadda she has the same dog as me yadda yadda- I'll put in a good word for her: "I find your songs exceptional, your voice may seem strange but that's the way I like it. You are an inspiration to your fans as you do good deeds whole-heartedly. My friends say you're not pretty but I think its because you've got a great smile. If anyone is jealous about you, its not right, you deserve the credit and so does your family. you're a nice girl and you'll have a fantastic future ahead of you, don't spoil it. I wouldn't want to see my so-called "twin sister" to be anything worse than you are now. Dream on superstar!"

There! Now I honestly typed it out from my heart, I'm not kidding. Miley's a very special girl, you should be thankful that she exists in the world. You go girl!

Okay enough of that, I felt pretty awkward there as I'm normally a antisocial guy. I watched Wall.E recently and I loved it. A funny comedy and a sweet romance. Oh! I loved the storyline, graphics, songs, artwork, e.t.c. Another lovely movie made by Disney Pixar. But...still not inspired to take be an animator, though it seems pretty swell.

Next! I am trying to continue with the Dark-Light story, but the xbox live just prevents me from it. I'm telling you I am an addicted gamer. It's really fun when you've got friends to play with. Without anyone coming to my house, I find it a relief to find friends online. I'm so bored.

Returning to the matter at hand, I am editing the story and I have stopped at a very confusing point. That point is where I decide one aspect of the game. But... I think I have it handled about NOW when I've just realized the solution. There's going to be an ounce of magic in the story if you don't mind. However, there are 2 more problems. I need to use a proper name for the light and the dark because the readers will be confused when they mix Light with the light and normal light. Another thing is the mysterious fact that they can summon guns. I can understand melee weapons like swords but a sniper rifle? It's quite ridiculous when you think about why spirits have sniper rifles. Well, one point is that they aren't ghosts, they're spirits, ghosts are lost souls, souls aren't spirits, there's a difference. Don't ask me how I know check it in the dictionary!

And the next thing is my drawing. How would I be able to cope with a design school when my drawing sucks. I try and try to draw a person but I can't even draw anime and I don't want to. OKAY FINE! Maybe anime isn't so bad but I ain't going to do shit like the others, I don't want deadly spiked up hair or cute faces. No! I'm not into that kind of cute I'm more into puppy cuteness. Shit they've made Powerpuff Girls into anime! Makes me sick. I have a sick history of these things. I'm feeling slightly awkward that I joined Deviantart without even sending anything. I'll probably make some prose about Halo...yeah! I'm really an amatuer and I see people draw things so nicely...shucks. And I inspire to design. I may have a chance because I've been looking at game art and stuff, very complex and way beyond my skill.

Even during the holidays I still have worries. People say they'd do great on O level, but it can hold some surprises. I'm extremely tensed up about my english, I know my chinese won't make it but english is a must! If I don't get that then I'm big-ass loser. Another is my Social Studies, because I didn't write a lot for my section A, less than half a page for each question cuz I was running out of time. I hope I don't flunk this. Prayed to God that I wouldn't mess it up and I'm hoping for an L1R4. Please please don't ruin my dream!

Pray for me plz I think I need all the help I can get! If I don't get it then I guess my life is going to be a whole loada junk.

See ya soon!
