I have a close friend that I still talk to since we first met on orientation day when we entered university. We share the love for non-existing 2D or 3D male characters and games, and we our interest with animation and art makes it easy for us to get along. Despite being friends for many years, we often have conflicting preferences and opinions. I love tragic stories, she, on the other hand won’t watch follow a story if it involves the main character dying. She thinks it’s rude for someone not to wish back a happy birthday (if you’ve been wishing every year), I personally don’t care that much about birthdays anymore. Both of us have learned to accept our differences, but I think it’s interesting how different humans can be even though we live in a similar environment. It all boils down to the matter of preferences and tastes, at the end of that day. I don’t think I’m a very unique person, but I don’t share the excitement or love when it comes to a few mainstream things. Sometimes, my l...

Overwatch is a game that has a special place in my heart. It's not the best game I ever played, but there's much more than gameplay that makes me love it so much. It's no secret that I'm into the first-person shooter game because of its lore and characters. My fascination for the heroes, their stories and personalities, and ultimately what happens after the recall are the main reasons why I wanted to get the game so badly. When I just got the game, I was so happy until I didn't even felt mad at other players constantly killing me. I'm not a very good player anyway. The Archive Events I thought I would write about the recent Archive since I'm still trying to keep up with posting something at least once a month thing. I'll try to refrain myself from posting about the anniversary in May. When Archive was released for the first time, I thought it was an excellent way to deliver lore in a PvE mode. Players could learn more about Overwatch's pa...

I thought I did a good job updating my blog for 2019. It's only a post a month but it's better than nothing. There's not much I want to share on my blog for March but I just want to post something, just to keep the streak going. I thought of posting something a little bit different for this post in March. It's a bit random compared to my usual topics, but I've thought about it for a long time. Since I worked in KL, I took the train to work every day. As a person that dislikes driving, I have no problems travelling with public transport even though it takes up two hours of my life every day. I think I fell in love with taking trains after travelling in Singapore and Japan. I listen to music whenever I'm on the train, even when if I can find a seat and fall asleep. My playlist consists of my all-time favourite songs, mainly pop songs and game music. As I update my list with newer favourites, I tend to remove songs I don't listen as much anymore. There...

On the first of February, I went to the cinema with my brother and a close friend of mine to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. It's the third and last film for the almost decade-long series. If you didn't know or aren't my Twitter follower, I am a huge fan of HTTYD. I became so impatient when they wouldn't enter the theatre on time. I kept mentioning that I waited five years for this, and I didn't want to miss any second of it. We did miss a few seconds of the movie because I went to the bathroom. After the movie ended and the credits started to roll, I didn't really know how to feel about the movie. I told myself some time to gather my thoughts about the movie. I wrote my first draft while I was celebrating Chinese New Year in my hometown, but I had to stop myself to think about it again. I'm wondering if I should watch the movie again and think it through but I don't know when the movie will be available for streaming so I...

It’s almost a month into 2019 but I’m only posting about my thoughts about 2018 now. You know why? Because I’m a Chinese and our new year only starts at February! Just kidding, I’m lazy and I have no excuse for not updating my blog. Well, this post required more time as it includes more of my feelings and thoughts, but here it is. Before I begin my rant, forgive me if I don't make much sense in translate my feelings into words correctly and sound like I'm all over the place. --- Everyone didn't seem to like 2018. Personally, I feel indifferent. There are just too many days to summarize my whole year, yet at the same time, there wasn't any life-changing event that occurred during the year. For most parts of the year, I worked. Most days were the same: I get up, I go to work, I get home, and I sleep. The cycle repeats. It did occur to me that this could be the rest of my life, just like how everyone is doing the same. An average person living his...

Traveling to Korea was a difference experience to me because while I listened to some K-Pop and watched some variety shows, I'm not entirely familiar with their culture. I can't read or speak their language, and I was never really a fan of their cuisine. I really like Japan's culture, but I never had the same passion for Korea. An ignorant person would probably think they're similar, but they're worlds apart. And that difference is what scares me. I'm not prepared for Korea, their culture, or their people. After visiting Korea, I learned to appreciate the country a little more. I decided to write this third part because I have a lot of thoughts about the country that I didn't think were suitable for my post about my trip. Some of these are just common information, but there's just so much I want to say. --- A WOMAN'S STATUS There's no doubt that it's a man's world in Korea, and women aren't really treated equally...

DAY 4 We left Jeju and flew to Seoul, which is colder than all of the places we visited. We had bibimbap for lunch, something I never tried. It was delicious. The first location we went was Nami Island, a self-governing country, It was very known for the Korean drama, Winter Sonata. I didn't watch the drama, but I know the island is filled with beautiful Maple and Ginkgo trees. This is the reason why me and mom decided to visit Korea during autumn. Unfortunately, we were probably a week too early. The leaves already turned yellow or red, but not completely. It's still a beautiful sight, but it could be better. I believe you can spend a whole day on the island, you can even stay in the resorts here. But of course, we didn't have that luxury. We took a boat back to the main island and our tour guide took us to visit an aunty and her fruit stall. My mom and I bought a peach, which is not something we get to see or eat every day. We had dak-galbi chicken for di...
