Long long post... lol

After reading through all my blog posts... I realized two things:


- The existing pictures are stretched out and looks weird after I used a new theme for my blogspot.

- A long list of lame jokes and memories which I had forgotten, are now refreshed. (failed to recall a small portion of it as I like to write in secret codes or meanings last time)

At many times, it is best we just forgive and forget. Some say forgiving and forgetting is easy, but I believe many people will agree with me that forgetting is hard.

As for me, I harbor no more hatred for what had happened to me during my secondary school years.

No doubt it was one of the worst secondary school life one could ever hope for.. Unlike everyone who enjoyed their school life before progressing onward to campus life.

"Constant suffering" would be the right word to describe and summarize my secondary school life.

Those were the days... but now I really harbor no more hatred or resentment towards my school life.

You taught me to smile again... =]

Let go of the past to embrace the future!

"Don't hate your secondary school life... ok?"

*nods head* and I will always keep that in my mind.

It's only the first day and I already miss you very much baby...

I just want you to know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life... ^ ^

*******

Speaking of that, do you still remember which team we both supported when we were in Form 2? I still remember...

Found this entry on my June 2006 blog entry which goes like:


World Cup rules for girls

LIST OF RULES

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sport pages so you are aware of what's going on regarding the World Cup and will be able to join in conversations. If you fail to do this, you'll be looked at in a bad way or be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.

2. During the World Cup the television is mine, mine, mine at all times - without any exceptions.

3. I don't mind if you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game - as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand naked in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won't have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute - unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it won't happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least two six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on. And please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game" or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break-up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during half-time but only when the adverts are on, and only if the score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".

8. Most importantly, making love is out of the question during the entire month. It has to be a 'quickie' and that has to be during half-time as well.

9. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.

10. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

11. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

12. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch?" The reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".

13. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League, English Premier League, etc etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
Men of the World


P.S: I'm not a football fan so the above doesn't applies to me

I just know of something that impacted me greatly...

You know I know ;)

Road accident

Girl girl, few days ago you asked me to update my mushroom-grown blog.

But I had nothing to blog about, until today (past 12am).

Road accidents, how do they happen?
Until now I still don’t know, do you?

This is my tale, my first accident right after my probation period ended, first hand.

*******

It began this evening when I went to watch Transformers 2: ROTF with Steven, Annie, Angel and Dayang. As usual, I asked and pray for journey-mercy each time I leave home. All went well, the movie was nice but the ending is not as good as I expected (just the end). Overall, I’d give it an 8.5/10.

So instead of staying back to ‘limteh’ and hang out with the rest, I went home immediately. And again, all went well while I was driving UNTIL I reached the cross road near my housing area. (The road from Jalan Song to Tabuan Laru)

Green lights, I drove on.

A car stormed my way, the moment I noticed it, it was too late already. So I tried to avoid it but still, it was in vain…

CRASH! That was all I heard. The car had already rammed directly unto the driver’s side. (Right side)

I lose all my senses, touching, hearing, and feeling. My car was spinning; I thought that would be the end of me. But NO! After my car came to a stop, then only did I realize that I am still breathing so I began to panic and tried to recall what is happening…

So I was driving home and there’s this car that appeared out from nowhere and rammed unto me. I am ‘awarded’ a sort-of-merry-go-round spin for at least 1 or 2 rounds before my car came to a stop. (Just like those you see in the movies, but this one happens to me)

3 men came to me while I tried to open my car’s door. But no matter how hard I try, I just couldn’t open the door. While stuck inside the car, this conversation took place (in Hokkien) :

Them: "Are you ok?"

Me: "Why did you crash on my car?"

Them: "Not us, (Pointing to the dented Kancil) That’s the car that crash unto you. We are just here to see whether you are ok or not."

Me: (Dazed) "I can’t get out from the car."

Them: "Use the other side." (Why didn’t I think of it?)

After I got out of the car, I was overflowed with nervousness and worry. Knowing that the damage is serious, I immediately called my dad while they told me not to worry and not to pick any problems with the other party. Also, they keep saying that as long as I am uninjured, all is well…

The other party came (a young guy, probably in his 20s or 30s) and apologized to me, asking me if I am ok or not. I can’t say much, since I am still stunned by what is currently happening to me…

Dad arrived few moments later after receiving my call telling him that I had an accident. (Sorry mum and dad for making you worried…)

We proceed to lodge a police report before heading home.

*******

Now you might ask, what is the use of praying for journey-mercy if I met an accident anyway?

That was what I questioned myself just now. Instead of being upset with God, I should be grateful.

Many people kept saying ‘Count your blessings’. Today’s the day I fully understand that phrase.

Those guys who came to help or observe mentioned that if I am late for maybe a split-second, I would be in deep trouble since the car will ram unto the driver’s seat and probably kill me off. Imagine the amount of momentum inflicted to make my car spin for a few rounds and its a Kancil that rammed me.

Thank God and praise God.

Then again, if I still had my ‘P’ or probation on, I’d be in deep shit. But no, few days ago, my probation period came to an end and I got my new driving license.

Again, Thank God and praise God.

I came out of the accident in one piece, still alive and breathing, still able to walk, still able to swing my arms around and stretch myself, with the exception of a few bruises on my arm and leg and also a shock of my life. Maybe there are some internal injuries? I don’t know, it’s not visible to the naked eye so maybe I’ll go for a medical checkup later…

So once again, Thank God and praise God.

Who says that watching a movie at movie day is cheap? That movie cost me a figure starting from 'thousand' now. Sigh…

P.S: I was too nervous and worried to even bother to take a picture of my car’s current state… So there won’t be any pictures. Maybe it might appear in the news later?

Flower




When you, the owner taking care of a flower and it’s on the verge of withering:

Was it the owner’s fault for not showing enough care and attention for the flower,
Or was it the flower’s fault for demanding too much from the owner,
Or was it because of the unsuitable environment that causes the flower to wither?

And if the flower is on the verge of withering, would you try to save it, or just let it die off?

What will you, the one reading this, do?

*******

Sidenote: Almost done with C programming's code (graphical part excluded), a million thanks to Jason Sim for making it possible.

Honesty is the best policy

Yes it is, honesty indeed is the best policy. BUT it never applies in politics.

I got tagged by Rosemary to pen down 25 embarrassing things that happened to me in my life.

Laugh all you want, though I don’t find any of it funny.. xD

1. During my 1st semester in Swinburne, I went to the wrong toilet at 6th floor (2 girls came out when I rush in). Didn’t know that both male and female toilets exchange sides on 6thfloor onwards.

2. Tripped and fell down on a rainy day, just outside of Swinburne’s rear entrance after meeting Jin Thad for the 1st time. (was a rainy day that time)

3. Talk loudly in the quiet library atmosphere because I forgot to remove my earphones, causing almost everyone around me to look at my direction

4. First time attempting on jumping from the top floor of the school’s makmal (science lab). Instead of landing with my legs, I land with my butt. Ouch indeed, but perfected my jump ever since.

5. During Form 3, I mistaken a new transfer student as my friend and give him a pat at the back, asking him what is he doing. Too late when I realized he’s not the one I want to talk to. Nevertheless, we became friends.

6. For those who are in the same year as I am (in secondary school) should know of this: “Kelas 3 Kuning tidak dikawal… etc etc etc.” I was 1 of the 3 who got caught by Puan Poh Meng Eng, the previous PK HEM for standing on the “corridor wall”. (The short wall thingy, to protect students from falling down from high grounds. what do you call it?)

7. Got lost in Singapore’s zoo when I was young (4 or 5 years old I think) and immediately pull on a stranger’s hand, thinking that he’s my dad. That stranger stared blankly at me and I quickly turn away.

8. On my 1st day to nursery, I cried and cried, insisting my parents not to leave me. I think in the end either my mum or my dad had no choice but to stay with me on that particular day. Never cried anymore since then.

9. I scolded someone in Sunday school, forgot the reason I did so. It’s already too late when I realized that she is my kindergarden friend, then my 1st friend in ITS. Apologized to her 5 years later in church and rarely see her anymore, probably studying in Australia now. I horribly regretted my past actions.

10. This might sound silly but I proposed to a girl whom I never knew in person with the reason of giving her a new year present (online present, Gunbound) and got rejected. Laugh all you want.

Ha ha ha. There, that should be enough.

Continuing with the last one, I got accepted the next day. That was 4 years ago.

10 should be more than enough right?

*******

Someone said that friends are like candles, when you light them up, they will disappear one day. True that, not forgetting:

Light a candle with a match, and its light will accompany you till the end of its lifespan, leaving traces of candle wax as ‘remembrance’.

Ignite a candle with a flamethrower and you will be blinded temporarily by its flare, and left not even a single trace of candle wax.

Ignite the rest of the candles you have with flamethrower again and be ready to be in darkness for the rest of your life, until you find new candles, that is.

*******

I have some pictures to share with all of you:

This is for those who disagree that NOD 32 is the best AV (antivirus).

This is for those game freaks, especially WoW:

This is for those who think that life is meaningless:

This is what the tour guide in Shenzhen told us:

じゃんけんぽん! (Rock, paper, scissors) Who says paper beats rock?

Body glove! Wait, what?

Salad! Yum yum..

Even solitaire can frustrate people, especially when:

This is for the couples out there; I know that you should be honest to him/her every time, but sometimes there are things that is better remained as a secret. Disagree? Take a look at this picture and you will understand:

Forgiven n' forgotten

Thoughts to self: I wish I will only live till the age of 70. Losing control of your own body is a very scary thought indeed.

Speaking of that…

Why do men die first? This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but now we know. It requires a bit of explanation, first:

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race ... you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy.

If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her.
If you don't work enough ... you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay ... you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you ... its equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks ... its sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet ... its male indifference.

If you cry ... you're a wimp.
If you don't … you're an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her ... you're a chauvinist.
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy ... that's domination.
If she asks you ... it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ... you're a pervert.
If you don't ... you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist.
If you don't ... you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're vain.
If you don't ... you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers ... you're after something.
If you don't ... you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself.
If you don't ... you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache ... she's tired.
If you have a headache ... you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often ... you're oversexed.
If you don't ... there must be someone else.

Now why do men die first? Because they want to.


*******

If I say I love alan out of the blue. I’m positive that every reader will think that I turned into a gay.

Rest assured, I’m still straight.


There you go, the name ‘alan’ can also be used by women too even though it is like one in a million.

Actually, I saw her album in DDL websites long ago but ignored it because I wasn’t interested in a singer that I have no idea of, and a guy some more. Until a comment by a downloader caught my eye saying something like: “alan does have a entrancing voice, thank you for uploading it”.

I was wondering what is so entrancing about a guy’s voice so I downloaded one of alan’s album out of curiosity. Lo and behold, instead of a guy’s voice, I heard a gal’s voice. That’s when I became interested in her songs. The reason is because she possesses a powerful but gentle voice, not forgetting that she is a beauty too.

She sang both Chinese and Japanese songs, including one of my favorite few years back - 遇见. Although the original singer is 孫燕姿, the one sang by alan isn’t too bad too.

Even though she is not as popular as other J-pop stars, I’m positive that she will become well known one day.


*******

It seems like whatever I do is always wrong, is it wrong for me to shut my old self? One who is always very direct and unforgiving to the current me - who always kept quiet and very forgiving, who always tells himself that someday he will change that attitude of his?

Put yourself in my shoes and you will realize just how much effort I put in from then till now to endure that attitude of yours. You are already 20 this year - an adult. Can't you be more responsible of yourself?

Well whatever, do as you please. Put the blame on me, curse me. Anything! Know that this is how life works - "Do unto others what you want others to do to you; What goes around, comes around."

Until this point, if you still think I am purposely blogging this entry to stab you from the back and now you want to write back with your flames, think again. I am but just pointing out the facts. If you disagree with what I am writing here, just leave.

I'm tired of it already, if you won't change, then there's no point in it anymore.

Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be.

Saw her again after countless months.

Was surprised when she chatted with me.

Talk like those old days.

And yes, she’s still good looking like the last time I saw her, or maybe even more radiant now. Who knows?

Where is my turning point?

I know I should be studying now but… When finals are closing up, people like me usually lose the mood to study. I’m always tempted to do anything except burying myself with books.

This world is so unfair, why don’t we have computer games for finals? I’m sure majority of the students will be very pleased if such is implied into the syllabus.

For the leaders of the future, yes?

Ok, back to reality. If you don’t study, you fail. No matter how much I hate studying, I still force myself to do so.

***********

Words spoken can never be retrieved back,
Actions done can never be undone.


Friendship is like a rubber band, there’s no end in it.

You play with it by stretching it and its elasticity will always return it back to its original shape. Sometimes, stretching it too much or too many times will cause that rubber band to break, no longer holding its original shape.

If you feel like it, you tie both ends of the rubber band so that it becomes whole again, but of course, it will never be a perfect one like it used to be.

Conflicts that happen between friends is like a person stretching a rubber band. When you stretch it, you are applying stress unto it. There is always a invisible limit in friendship unlike the rubber band, whose limit is clearly shown.

Applying too much stress unto it will cause it to break. Once it breaks, thus ending the friendship between those who are involved. Such is the mistake of humans, who rarely consider the effect of his/her actions.



There are times when regrets overcome you; there are times when telling yourself “time will heal everythingdoes not work anymore, you will usually let go of your pride and find ways to befriend the friend you lost. Such is when a person ties up the broken ends of the rubber band. But then, how many people in this world are willing to do so, especially guys?

..:::Attention:::..
Before any misunderstandings happen again, I’ll declare that this post is a neutral post, I am not flaming anyone indirectly. Those words above kept appearing in my head be it when I’m studying or not these few days so I thought to leave it here.

Pictures from SYEC St. Joseph charity sales

This clip is a fairly old one but...

If you are offered 1 million bucks to participate in this show, will you take the offer or reject it?

The Slap-o-matic 2000. Do you want to try it?


*******


Just received a packet of photos from SP not too long ago…

This post is a continuation of -St. Joseph Charity sales-


Starting from the hall…


People Mountain People Sea

Proceeding to our stall…


Our stall, Selling Sugar Cane and Coconut Juice


Lip Weoi working hard…

Behind our neatly arranged stall lies...



It’s kinda messy, but we did clean it up later.


The one and only Self-Chokeslam..


Winnie n’ Jeffrey


Another team heading out to sell drinks…


The remaining ones without the lid (cup number 470+ onwards if not mistaken)


Free drinks for everyone participating, definitely refreshing on a hot sunny day.

We finished selling all the drinks we have 2 hours earlier than predicted so its time to calculate the coupons and money.


Winnie completely immersed in counting…


Stunned.

Once done, its time to clean up


Cleaning in progress…


Lip Weoi and me looking bored…


Chia Chia and Pauline


Zhi Wei: No smoking!


Jolly Siew Yong


Cherie sleep-walking.

Once the cleaning is done, it’s time for group photos!


Someone is missing, Martin and I are pointing at a certain direction…


Compare this picture with the picture above


There will always be a free-style pose. Look at the sky!


Reminds me of the good old days.

Note: While selling drinks, we were tipped to be on a lookout for fake coupons. How low can a person go? This is a charity sale, and yet people still chose not to buy the tickets but instead print out fake ones so that they don't have to spend a single cent on whatever they intend to purchase on that very day. What a shame...

Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)

Dear Friend,

Today,

You spread your hidden wings and soar up unto the azure skies with your beloved one...



I believed many of us are reluctant of your departure; a few are even angered by your actions. But then there’s no point to hold you back as you know what is best for yourself.

The remaining few of us will just gaze at the clear azure skies.

Even though the path ahead the both of you is long and might even be harsh too but as long as both of you promise to help each other in times of peril and overlooking the faults of the other, there will be no difficulties that can bring you down.

As for me, I wish all the best to you.



Persevere and prevail,

NightGaia

*******


No doubt teenagers of my age group had experienced love. Most are reluctant to tell their peers of their failure but there are some who willingly spill it out with the condition of the one listening is their one of their ‘close friends’.

As for those who are reluctant to talk of their failures… no worries, Mr. Alcohol is your best friend. Feed him/her with it and you won’t be able to catch everything they are going to blurt in time.

For me, I did experience such kind of feelings before. That is where I realized my weakness. For that, I never have feelings for girls randomly. This is the reason why, my friends, I always said no even though majority of you all said yes.

For those reading my blog, no worries, I’m not turning gay. I’m still the same straight guy you knew of, just being very strict with myself only.

No doubt my weakness is the difficulty or rather the unwillingness to forget and let go. Once I really really love a certain girl, I can openly declare that no friends of mine can change my mind by saying all the bad things about her, not even my parents. I know that this is a selfish attitude, but this is just how it works for me…

After all, loving a certain someone is accepting them whole-heartedly, purposely overlooking their short-falls and faults. Treasuring and staying loyal to each other.

Someone once told me that: You don’t have to place any worries about love, you just fall into it naturally. This is how the phrase ‘falling in love’ came from.

My parents were right about this: Developing the feelings of love is like watching over a young shoot. Too much water, sunlight or fertilizer is fatal to the young shoot, so is the same with insufficient water, sunlight or fertilizer. As it is fatal to the young shoot, so is it fatal to relationships you are engaged in.

But if we nurture it daily with the right amount of water and giving it enough sunlight, feeding it with fertilizer sometimes and showering it with your time and attention, it will grow into a very strong tree. From there, you get a very stable relationship that you and your partner will never regret.

A gentle request

Recently some of my friends were going hot on certain girls in Swinburne and later realized that it wasn’t a ‘really good’ choice.

Blogs are deadly; A blog owner will never know the aftershock his or her blog will inflict on the readers, especially those with ‘high hopes’.

*******

I can’t remember when it all began – that my group of friends was put to believe that a certain girl and I had coupled up. At first, I kept convincing them that there is no such thing and expecting it to die off soon. How naïve of me, instead of the circulating rumors dying off, it went on hotter than before with each passing day.

Fine, I started to ignore whatever they say about me and her since one friend of hers told me to just ignore it whenever it happens. I even played along with them just to let everyone know that I am not a spoilsport and that I have the guts to play.

And now for no reason, they decided to couple me up with another girl. I wish I can read others’ mind so that I can know the reason behind why they intend to couple me up with someone else again. So now whenever they (my gang) saw any of those 2 girls, they will definitely embarrass me, sometimes to the point until my blood is boiling.

I know of my own temper, including you. I explode easily and anything can happen during that period. That is why I had been exercising self-control on myself which I believe is successful so that history won’t repeat itself again.

Today you chose to embarrass me in front of strangers inside the lift. I am unsure of your intentions of doing so. If it is to ruin my reputation, do stop it NOW, yes I mean NOW. I had been patient, very patient with such kind of jokes.

Personally I don’t mind if it is just our usual gang who is hearing it but don’t involve strangers. I hate others to misunderstand me. Tell me, what will their 1st impression be on me then? Definitely that I am not a good person, a two timer, and any other bad names you can think of WHICH I AM NOT!

You yourself said that 1st impression is very important so I hope that you will respect mine too.

There is a limit to everything. You wouldn’t want the same scenario to happen to you yourself too, right?

Good luck guys!

As usual, I punch monsters to rank up my skill level until someone told me that using combo to level skills is way faster than punching. Out of curiosity, I tried out her way of leveling skills.

She's right about it. It usually takes around 10~12 minutes to level up a skill level, but with combos, it only takes around 5~7 minutes at most.


Thats the most I can do for now.




This guy got owned by chaos lamps.

*******


Mid-term assessment is just around the corner and what am I doing right now?

Still blogging.Definitely not studying right now.

I’ll be in deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep trouble if I don’t start burning midnight oil and study.

*******


The recent intake (March intake) did not disappoint my group of friends unlike those previous intakes. There are lots of new faces and most importantly, lots of beauties aka leng lui.

Some said that they are going to take the initiative to court while some prefer to just admire the girls. As for me… I’ll stay single, for now. Don’t ask me why.

One of us was given a chance to prove himself, but somehow things didn’t work out smoothly. It’s a waste IMO. The path is cleared for him yet he didn’t set foot on it but turned back instead.



Such ‘accidents’ don’t happen always so treasure your chances if you have it.

If you fail, don’t get all gloomy about it. Instead, move on with life. All of us are still young; there are still a lot of chances ahead of us.

Also, they did comment that a couple of girls have similar faces. Speaking of similar faces, does she look like someone you guys know?

Disclaimer: I’m not flaming anyone, just leaving a entry of my own thoughts.

Spices of life

I'm aware that many blogs in the 'blogs i read' section are either deleted or moved to another site by the blog authors, just that I am too lazy to update it. Maybe some other day.

*******

He already has a girl of his own.

Yet he is always seen with another.

She will know of it soon, or rather, already know of it.

Do stop it; you are only bringing in yourself a bad reputation not to the girls but everyone.

It’s not like we intentionally dig into your personal affairs, but rather, it’s already too obvious, almost everyone who knows of you knows of it too, just that they did not bother to comment about it.

Anyway, do as you please, we as friends can only give advice to you and nothing more. None of us wants to be labeled as a busybody, really.

Disclaimer: The above mentioned is just fiction, any scenario bearing resemblance to it is purely coincidence.

Of blood and nice boat.

If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience?
Or does He give them the opportunity to be patient?

If someone prayed for courage, does God give them courage?
Or does He give them the opportunity to be courageous?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings? Or does He give them opportunities to love each other?

The quotes above are taken from the movie ‘Evan Almighty’. I’m not sure if I mis-typed any of it. Anyway it carries the same meaning so... No sweat.


Yeap, this movie is kinda touching for me. The time spent to torrent the DVD version of this movie is not wasted at all. :)


*******

Take a look at this picture:


The 2 girls looked very caring and loving and [insert praise here] isn’t it?

But it didn’t turn out to be that way.

The main character for the anime – School Days – Makoto Ito happened to be one of the millions and millions of assholes in this world. When I mean assholes, I mean a two-timer. Nobody likes that, I just don’t get what is so fun in being a 2-timer. For Makoto’s case, he’s more than just a 2-timer. This is how the storyline goes, there’s no point criticizing it.

Despite that, many people are still following the course of the anime, including me. For me, I will just read the summary from Random Curiosity as I find the episodes getting more and more boring. Like many others, I await the final episode, and it is available in torrent sites today.

Why did I say so? It’s because he slept with almost all the girls in the anime, including one of the two girls shown in the picture – Saionji Sekai and Kotonoha Katsura.

Since the first few episodes, many people commented that a guy like him should just burn in hell. I seconded that and will be very pleased if he dies a horrible death. My wish came true; in fact, the majority’s wish came true. He died in the end; stabbed to death by the girl whom he made pregnant – Saionji Sekai.

This is how Makoto Ito died:


Approaching him, using a short message to apologize and wishing him goodbye.


Here, Makoto is screaming in agony.


This is the n’th number of stabbings.


The blood is black in colour.


That ends the tale of the legendary-multiple-timer – Makoto Ito.

*******

Kotonoha Katsura is the kind of girl that carries a peaceful tone with a killing intent. After realizing that Makoto Ito died from multiple stabs, she proceeds to severe the head of Makoto Ito and placed it in a bag. If I am asked why she did that, maybe she’s just lonely and wants her dead boyfriend’s company.

She confronted Saionji Sekai at the rooftop by sending her a sms using Makoto Ito’s handphone. At the rooftop; by the way she talk, you can sense a peaceful aura around her, it’s like there’s happiness and heaven and nothing else BUT the aura is overridden by her killing intent.

The rooftop, nostalgic as it is, used to be the place where the trio – Makoto Ito, Saionji Sekai and Kotonoha Katsura had lunch together. One died from stabbing; the other will die from being cleaved. The remaining two faced each other and only one will leave the rooftop alive.

As the story goes, Kotonoha Katsura slashed Saionji Sekai and left her corpse at the rooftop to rot.

Here’s how it happens:


This bag contains the severed head of Makoto Ito.


Katsura-san’s Cleaver (+10)


Parrying the knife carried by Saionji Sekai.


Initiating the first slash… with a calm look on her face


On the neck of Saionji Sekai; Blood spluttered out.

Besides being the girl with a peaceful tone and a killing intent, she stays loyal and still clings to the remains of the dead Makoto Ito – his head. She took his head with him everywhere she went including the proposed trip on the yacht with the two of them only. She got what she wanted; she was with him his head alone.


On my own, pretending he’s beside me…

It sure is nice to have such a loyal girlfriend. But to the extend of carrying the head of your dead boyfriend is definitely a no-no for me and for many out there.

Somewhere within me, I hoped for a happy ending like maybe the main character gets to be with one of the 2 girls instead of this 2-in-1 gruesome ending (Saionji Sekai stabbing Makoto Ito + Kotonoha Katsura slashing Saionji Sekai). Maybe it’s because I’m exposed to too many heart-touching animes and movies, thus causing me to cast aside gruesome or brutal shows.

The down-side of this final episode is there are no sound effects of the stabbings and slashing. It is replaced by flashbacks and background music instead.


Anyway, nice boat. Isn’t it?


The rooftop will be left empty from now onwards.

Offtopic: SK did mention that Kotonoha Katsura finally smiles at episode 11.

Looking at this smile, it felt so cold and brutal now - the intention of killing hidden behind a smiling shell.

P.S: You can read the summary of the whole episode in Random Curiosity too.
