Heart.

I wonder sometimes, how much time I have spent waiting for you, but I end up disappointed at myself. You never seem to come online, but still I wait. Who knew that it was all a lie? Did I ever expect you to be online almost everyday, but hiding from me?

I'm not angry, but I just feel a dull pounding in this heart of mine. I guess I was naive. :| Bitter feelings swirl around in my mind. I never wanted any of this. And slowly it's wreaking havoc with my mind. I think of you constantly, missing you. It's like a part of me has gone away.

I am disheartened, but slowly I lose my interest in everything. And right now, All I can think of is you, and music. :)

I am just confused.

A fraction of a second

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that causes people grief and sadness.

I was missing her a lot. And so I kept on hoping that I would randomly meet her. On Monday, I woke up as usual. On the way to class at school, I remembered myself thinking.that I would give anything to see her again.

Derping around and studying in class that day. No teacher. Friends were watching movies when suddenly they called out my name.

"OI ADAM! LOOK OUTSIDE! LOOK!"

I immediately rushed out to see what was their hubbub about. I was stunned. There she was, walking by on her way to her old class. I rushed to the door, put on my best non-blur face, and wiped that silly grin off my face. As she passed by, I just said "Hey". She gave me a smile, and god knows how I missed seeing that. And then she was on her way.

Unfortunately, fate was not on my side. She went back earlier than me. And so, she slipped past my fingers. And so I thought.

Tuesday, I skipped school as usual. My phone rang with the sms tone. Apparently I was chosen to go for a public speaking competititon, and lo and behold, it was to be held in her school. Unbelievable. It was as if I was given a second chance. I agreed without hesitation.

On Thursday, after the first segment of the competition I had a break. My friends were all wishing me luck at this point :D (thanks guys!). I went out, looked down, and there she was, walking by downstairs. I instantly shouted her name, but she couldn't hear it. I rushed down, but it was too late. She had gone upstairs to her class. Once again, I had missed her.

What bites me was the closeness of that time. I missed her by a fraction of a second. If only I went downstairs faster, if only I shouted her name louder....if only, if only. All these things haunt me even today. Why was it so close yet so far? Why was it so minute! :(

Ahwell, hope I get another shot. God willing. Amen.

Sometimes, it's just impossible to let go...

It's been what, two? Three? weeks since she left my school. In this period, I thought I could be strong, I could live it through like all of my past experiences.

I was wrong.

Letting go and moving forward....a phrase so easy to utter, so easy to type out, but impossible to put into action. I've been telling myself this for several days now. Let go! Focus! But to no avail. 

In this period I have been sitting and reminiscing. Thinking. Listening to music. I see her happy with her new friends, and I know I should feel happy too, but I don't know why I feel a pang of jealousy. My selfishness, wanting her to stay with me. :( I'm selfish in that aspect. 

I went through her photo albums online. Liking every photo of her that seemed to smile out at me. Became a borderline creepy stalker. But nothing could mend the hole in my heart. 

I often before sleeping, think of her. And of my past crushes. Each one of them taught me a lesson.

My crush when I was six taught me about girls.
My crush when I was 10 taught me about bonds, with people and others.
My crush when I was 14 up until 17 taught me about humility, because in my arrogance I made her hate me. 
My crush when I was 17 until the end of my high school life taught me about God, and how I could derive my love from faith. 

And now, she taught me about Love. 

Ah....Love. A powerful word. One that I rarely use when referring to my affections. I never refer to anything other than my relationship with my parents as love. And now, I can't deny that these feelings coursing through me is Love.  :)

Constantly thinking of her, constantly missing her. 

I started listening to Utada Hikaru again after a long absence because of her, because she liked to listen to Utada. 

She is a pillar, a bright point of my life, and I swear to protect her.

When she became threatened by a perverted basterd, I went and argued with that basterd. My rival. I ripped off his mask and showed her his true face. But yet she was so kind and forgiving, still friends with that basterd. Yeah. I did nothing.  It was her choice, and I cannot be so selfish as to force my thoughts onto her.

Spending time with her really changed me and moulded me into a more mature person. So thank you, Chubby Bunny. I miss you. Know that I care for you dearly :)

the Lich King cometh: Dissecting Azeroth's premier Undead Homie

Disclaimer: SPOILERS are gonna be abundant in this post. Turn away now kiddo!


Ahhh...the Lich King. Never in the history of Azeroth has there been a greater threat to the Living than him. With an army unkillable through natural means, the Lich King is a force to be reckoned with.

But what makes him who he is?

The Lich King's history is not a simple one. The emperor of the undead himself is an amalgamation of both an Orcish and Human soulss, bound together.

The Orcish soul belongs to Ner'zhul, chieftain of the Shadowmoon clan during the time of Draenor. He, deceived by Kil'Jaeden the Beautiful, was enticed to lead the orcs in a genocidal path to destroy the Draenei. It was his actions that led to the Orcs being tricked into drinking the blood of Mannoroth the Pitlord, and falling into the demonic powers and becoming an unstoppable Juggernaut. For his cowardly actions during the war, where he decided to defy Kil'Jaeden, the Eredar had him destroyed when he attempted to leave Draenor, and bound his soul to a suit of armor and placed inside the Frozen Throne.



Now, moving on to the second half of the Lich King, and perhaps the TRUE Lich King himself: Prince Arthas.


Prince Arthas Menethil of Lordaeron was a young boy when he suffered his first tragedy: the death of his first horse, Invincible. This drove him to become a fighter for his people, to protect them and ease their suffering where possible. This drive was carried towards his adulthood, when the Scourging of Azeroth began.

Though Nerzhul was imprisoned in the Frozen Throne, his powers did not diminish, but grew stronger. The Frozen Throne in Northrend served as a base for Nerzhul and there he waged a decade long war with Azjol-Nerub and it's inhabitants, the Nerubians. Nerubians, immune to the undead plague slowly succumbed to Nerzhul's forces and when they died were raised as his servants. Tichondrius, a dreadlord came soon to inform Nerzhul to pave the way for the Invasion of the Burning Legion. From this, Nerzhul decided to call out to Kel'ThuZad a human mage (later necromancer, later later Lich) to build a cult- The Cult of the Damned. There they would sow the seeds of undeath, and turn Azeroth into a wasteland. At this point our stories intertwined.

A strange outbreak at the Northern region of Lordaeron prompted Arthas to investigate. He found out that Kel'Thuzad was behind all of this, and as per the Lich King's destiny he slain Kel'thuzad in order to contain this threat. But for every soldier dead, another enemy would rise to take his place. Arthas, desperate and grasping for ideas, eventually became colder and more willing to take risks, which culminated into the event that would change everything: The Culling of Stratholme.

Arthas, in a bid to contain the Plague, destroyed and killed every single person in the city of Stratholme. This became the turning point in his life as he lost not only his humanity, but both his mentor, Uther Lightbringer and his lover, Jaina Proudmoore. Meeting Mal'Ganis for the first time, he decided to pursue his foe to Northrend: resting place of the Lich King.

In Northrend, he sought out the one weapon that would allow him to contain Mal'Ganis- Frostmourne, the legendary runeblade. 

Through Frostmourne, the Lich King whispered to Arthas....of powers, necromantic powers that would allow him to do the impossible. To rectify his sins.....to bring Invincible back! Arthas imposed an exile on himself, learning the ways of the Scourge, and turned his most loyal men into the Death Knights, of which he became the first.

Returning to Lordaeron, Arhas slain his father, King Terenas and took control through his army: The Scourge.


He turned Lordaeron into a wasteland, and became the Lich King's unholy champion. He started spreading the Plague of the Undeath towards his lands, and fought his mentor, Uther Lightbringer and his Order of the Silver Hand, all to do the Lich King's bidding. Arthas took Kel'Thuzad's remains and moved to Quel'thalas to resurrect the unholy wretched necromancer. He succeeded, razing Quel'thalas and gaining a new pawn: Slyvanas Windrunner, former Ranger General of the High Elves. The Sunwell, the High Elves' font of power was destroyed in the process.

Through his actions, he created another faction of enemies: The Blood Elves.

Kel'Thuzad was resurrected as a Lich, a master of Frost. Kel'Thuzad and Arthas then journeyed to Dalaran to obtain Medivh's spellbook, and sought to call Archimonde, one of the Burning Legion's leaders. He was called out, and control of the Scourge returned to the Dreadlords, but the Lich King was not done for- Yet.

In the process, Arthas was dispatched to Kalimdor, and enticed Illidan Stormrage to the demonic path, paving the way as per the Lich King's orders.

Kil'Jaeden was displeased with his Pawn's actions, and summoned Illidan to destroy the Frozen Throne. Illidan set out to find another artifact: The eye of Sargeras, which had the power necessary to destroy the Frozen Throne. Meanwhile, in the Plaguelands, a civil war was brewing, in which Arthas was embroiled in a battle agains Slyvanas Wimdrunner, free from the Lich King's control. In a bid to save himself, the Lich King called Arthas to Northrend, and to protect the Frozen Throne. Arthas went to Northrend, and fought Illidan, wounding him. Weakened but still determined, he climbed the Frozen Throne, ascending to the Armor of the Lich King, and in a moment of rebirth: Arthas and the Lich King became one through the Helm of Domination.


And so, the Lich King entered a period of hibernation where Arthas, his humanity and Ner'zhul fought for dominance inside his mind. The period, known as the Dreaming, had Arthas confront his past, and lose his humanity completely. During this period, the Scourge began to construct Icecrown Citadel, the Lich King's base of operations. 

When the Lich King did awake, he was more Arthas than Ner'zhul. He sealed away his heart, and began to wage war against the world of Azeroth. 


He first infected some cities with plagued grain, and in a brazen move he decided to attack both Orgimmar and Stormwind. Thus the Alliance and the Horde decided to have an expedition North....just as the Lich King planned.

Soon the Lich King built an order of Death Knights led by Darion Mograine, the Knights of the Ebon Blade. They were sent to destroy the Scarlet Enclave. After the battle of Light's Hope Chapel, the Lich King betrayed his champions, and it was here that Darion sought to destroy the Lich King, and his Death Knights became free of the Lich King's control.

Next at the Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate, the Lich King personally went and "greeted" both the champion of the Horde and Alliance, Dranosh Saurfang and Bolvar Fordragon. It is here that he "turned" Dranosh into his champion and maimed Bolvar.

At the pinnacle of his "reign", Tirion Fordring, leader of the Argent Crusade and firm opposition towards the Lich King took the Champions of the Argent Tournament to Icecrown Citadel to end his reign once and for all.


At the Frozen Throne, the Lich King laughed at Tirion for bringing what he wanted: Champions. In one move the Lich King slew all the Champions, and sought to raise them as undead. Calling for the Light, Tirion Fordring broke free of the ice encasing him, and broke Frostmourne with his blade, Ashbringer. With this move, the souls in Frostmourne were set free, and the Lich King is defeated by the Champions. Bolvar Fordragon became the jailer of the undead once more, and Azeroth is free from the threat of the Lich King.

After all, No king Reigns Forever.



And now to the dissection.

First we shall discuss Ner'Zhul.

Ner'Zhul never changed even when he became the Lich King. Ner'zhul remained the schemer, up until his very end in the hands of his champion, Arthas. This shows that Ner'zhul still sought to use Arthas as a pawn, and paid dearly. But he's an idiot, so we'll ignore him.

Ahh.....to Arthas.

Arthas is a soul forged purely by tragedy. The death of Invincible, the denial of Jaina....all these events served to change him. And the changes stayed until he became the Lich King.

In a sense, his desire to dominate the living may be interpreted as a corrupted form of his drive when he was younger, namely to protect everyone. By obtaining power, he could become a juggernaut who can protect everyone. But in the process, very unfortunately he became corrupted by the power, seduced by it.

Arthas is NOT evil in the normal sense. After all, he is just a King. In a fashion, he fulfilled his destiny one way or another. He became the "Lich" King, with his subjects of undead. Arthas is the prodigal son, spurred by a desire to protect.

And so I conclude my dissection of the Lich King. Do tune in next time for another dissection~

What is Love?

It's been a week since she left.

I dunno why, I get all teary-eyed when I think about her.

I know, I shouldn't be dating at this age. Meh. I gotta study first, THEN get on with dating. Priorities, priorities.

But whenever I think of her, I end up with a stupid smile on my face.

I had this feeling before, but all of them ended up in disaster. Heck, one even completely destroyed me.

Can't afford this kind of distractions at this time. I gotta fight harder than ever.

My mind hurts. My heart hurts. Is this Love? Or as Finn the Human says: THIS IS THE POWER OF LIKING SOMEONE A LOT!!!!!

And to think. I have rivals for her affection. *nervouslaugh* Rivals. Like for real. Not like Bryan that time. Eh heh heh. That rival turned me into a wolf :D

I think about her constantly. And when I talk with her....well, I feel happy. Even though what we talk about is dribble.

Well, gotta conclude this post with lyrics taken from GACKT again I guess.

うつむいて震える君を
この腕で抱きしめたくて
この世界の誰よりも君を
守りたいと気づいたから

もう少しで僕は消えるけど・・・
それでも君だけは離したくはない
切ないくらい君に包まれたあの日々を
僕は忘れない


Translation:
You shaking with head down
I wanted to hold you in my arms
Out of all the people in this world
I realized I wanted to protect you the most

I will disappear soon…
But I do not want to let you go at least
Those bittersweet days that were embraced by you
I will not forget

Holiday Weekend~

First week of hols officially over.

Distraught. Empty. Mehh.

I seem to have a routine established this holiday. I either stay at home or go outside.

When I stay at home, I do this. Study->computer
When I go out: Either Tuition or Shopping.

Wasting away.

ANYWAYS!!!

Yesterday went to KLCC. Too many people. Bleh.

Wanted to go to Mid Valley. Couldn't even get CLOSE to that godforsaken place.

So went KLCC.

UniQlo had one of 'em Teeshirt sales thingy.

Wanted to just grab anything and run to the checkout counter but NooooOOOoooo, somebody has to Pay to "Buy" stuff. The concept eludes me. Meh.

Saw a lot of Japanese Pop Culture tees. OnePiece. Gundam. and for some weird reason this guy.


And his strange obsession with this:


That's Andy Warhol, and he's a painter, pop art. His works are nice. And UniQlo are selling his art on tees.

Mum went with me into UniQlo. She saw those tees, and saw my interest in them, and bought 2 of them.

One Gundam Tee and another random tee. 

I love you mom.

Well.

Today went to Cosplay Tale Competition at Pavilion, Tokyo Street.


Met a lot of friends there. Met Misa Sayaka, not in costume. Ohai Misa. And met Mr. Freeman, Danny Choo's spokeperson here in Malaysia.

The competition was quite intense.

Saw only 3 skits in the time there, but all epic.

Of course, met my nemesis there. Pfft. 

Finally met my sensei, Version Herrscher!!!



And the siblings: Leena, Sophia and Adam.


And my Nazi friend, Colonel Mirza.


And Mirai, the mascot for Danny Choo's blog. And goddamit I forgot her name.(The cosplayer I mean)


The emcee was Hisashi Glay. He is an epic person. EH HISA, YOU ROCK WOI.

All in all, had fun, with a side dash of Mr Loh WaiYuen who decided to drop in randomly. Bro, thanks bro.

Well until Next Time. BuhBye X3 *Kitty runs away*

Story



Recently decided to derp randomly with my classmates. Topic: 女神 or in English, Venus of our Hearts. When we were just derping, i realized that I, for one, was missing a Venus. So when I got home, I immediately set for the shitload of photobooks I had lying around in my drive. Randomly, I clicked on the photobook of my previous kid crush, Miss Yuriko Shiratori.

SOURCE: http://www.sauceforthoughts.dreamhosters.com/wp/?p=3579

But then I for some reason decided to hunt around the photobook folder and search for more. Going deeper down the rabbit hole, as Morpheus would put it. Then I saw a miracle. A miracle named Ayumi Kinoshita ( 木下 あゆ美).




It's weird actually. Before this, all I've ever said about Ayumi-san was "Damn, she's pretty." But now no. When I saw that photo 3 days ago, in my mind I only thought "She is, hands down, my Venus."

Ayumi-san has a simple and not so impressive resume. She works as a Gravure Idol prior to her debut role as Marika "Jasmine" Reimon, also known as DekaYellow.
Marika Reimon
DekaYellowDekaranger.jpg


Another notable role on her resume is the seiyuu (voice actor) for Aki Izayoi / Akiza Izinski, aka. the Token Chick Duelist in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's

Akiza alongside "Black Rose Dragon".

Well, one factor that attracts me to Ayumi-san is her smile. You can see a lot of things from a smile, and I saw a lot of things in HER smile. I could write an essay, quite literally. 

Yet the truth haunts me. She is older than me by 10 years, and of course, she is a Japanese celebrity. Ouch. And I know, I'll never find another girl like her. So in the end, I am reduced to a wreck, and listening to songs like this:

Ah well, such is life. :) full of bittersweet surprises. There. My goddess, my venus: Ayumi Kinoshita.

A New Beginning

Argh.....it's been a while since I had a new blog post..... @_@ Le procrastinator here! Well, decided to have a New Blog (not newhalf) to commemorate my "Evolution" to what I am now. My olde blog can be found here: http://adamng93.blogspot.com

Well.....as my identity now is no longer Adam or Xamda or whatever I called myself previously, I now shed those identities and post as A.N.G.R.Y. Adam Ng Genesis Rhapsodos Yubel. Why so?

Well, Adam Ng represents the part of me that I am known as to others in public, the mask that I wear. Genesis Rhapsodos, literally meaning the beginning of the music, but this name can be attributed to GACKT, one of my "teachers" in the road to Visual-Kei. And Yubel...that's the name of a Yu-Gi-Oh card which can be found here. This name represents the female aspect of me, and at the same time it represents the sadness inside me, due to the Japanese name of the card, Yubel-Das Extremer Taurig Drachen (The Ultimate Dragon of Sadness). Also I needed something to make it snappy.

Well, I can't find anything else to say, so here's a song that symbolizes my feelings now.
