Friday 13th Birthday

                  It has been spread from history that Friday 13th are always known as the unlucky day or bad luck day (whatever you prefer). Of course, that's just a rumor to allow people to jinxed bad luck on other people.

                  I never thought I would just laugh out loudly over a rumor like this until it happened to me....on my birthday.... I was looking forward to going outside unlocking a lot of life achievements (open a personal bank account, get an ATM card, upgrade my prepaid phone into monthly payment package which includes mobile data and blah blah blah, you already know what 18 year old's can do). Just suddenly when I woke up this morning (around 6a.m.), I get the urge to vomit and immediately rushed downstairs puking out acidic liquid (WTF, I would have thought it was undigested food???). After my mouth was full of acidic liquids, I washed up and went back upstairs to continue sleeping.
Not long around an hour, my stomach was in so much pain and I just realized I had diarrhea when the moment I squat down on the toilet bowl.

                  At this point, I find it hard to believe this is happening to me on my special day. I continuously vomiting for the whole morning until I decided to go out to a pharmacy to buy some pills. Not even more than half the journey, I was already feeling dizzy and drowsy like all my energy were gone. I kept on walking until I reached the pharmacy and when the moment I exit the store with my pills. I knew I would not be able to make it back home with such little strength in my body.

                   I decided to take taxi which cost me RM20 (god, that cost just killed my wallet) due to traffic jams at that particular hour -.- When I reached home after having a light lunch, took my pills and I decided to sleep. But I got disturbed over notifications on my friends who kept wishing me happy birthday on my wall. (Thanks for the wishes, but I was really sick). diarrhea continued in my stomach every hour or less. And this keeps on happening until now when I took my pills the second time then it stops. But this whole day, I basically didn't unlock a single life achievement :( which got me thinking that is this really an unlucky day for me.

                     God I wish this never happens again in my life and hoped that my birthday doesn't occur on another Friday 13th. It was suppose to be a day filled with happiness and wishful thinking which turned out to be a misery and suffering-.-

                 

I Met a Girl

                 It's probably been a week before I've even mentioned it because I just wanted to confirm  it. After close inspection on my heart, I am fully aware that I've met someone I like (love). Her name is Sonya (not gonna give full name).

                 It wasn't love at first sight or any of that bullshit love nonsense people talked about in love stories. It was just a sudden realization that she and I have almost everything in common. To get started, I met her on the 31/1/2015 (last day of January XD) as you all know that I was planning to watch "Naruto: The Last Movie" in GSC Cinemas at Mid-Valley which was mentioned in my previous post. I bought a 3.40pm ticket which was very late considered that I arrived at around 10a.m. (again, it was mentioned in my previous post). With an extra 5 hours to spare doing nothing, it was within that 5 hours that changed my life when I met her in Star Game Station (a game shop).

                  After spending some time loitering around the shopping complex, I decided to head there just to play some 'cardfight vanguard'. It was pretty crowded so I just randomly sit in a place around the corner and starter asking people to play with me. And then she appeared..... Turns out she was a beginner getting started to play 'cardfight vanguard' with a "Royal Paladins" legion trial deck (the same first clan I used when I started playing 'cardfight vanguard'). With all the game mechanics, she wanted to know more and asked me if I could play with her while explaining all the skills of the cards (it was an English version trial deck, so I don't see how she has any problems remembering all the card skills).

                    Since I don't want to be so harsh on telling her to read it by herself, I just reminded her a card's skill every time she uses a card. Eventually she gets the hang of how the game mechanic works but I still beat her since I can counter her easily, already knowing what she's going to do.

                     After our game, I simply asked her what got her interested in 'cardfight vanguard' and turns out she loves it from the anime (she's an anime lover 0.0). Who knew??? Then I started asking her a little personnel stuff about what's her hobby, name, phone number and helped her get better at playing 'cardfight vanguard'. When she was about to leave, we decided to exchange 'Facebook' names and I just continued playing 'cardfight vanguard' until around the when the movie was about to start.

                      As the following night when I added her to my 'Facebook'. After seeing her profile (HOLY SHIT!!!!!!)  She loves Naruto and she went to Mid-valley was also the same reason to watch "The Last Movie" ( With an earlier show time ticket -.-, that explains why she left earlier). She cosplayed as Naruto's mother during Comic Fiesta 2015!!! and damn, she definitely loves anime a lot. The following days, sometimes she would message me on Facebook asking me more questions on 'cardfight vanguard' stuff and I'd happily answered her.

                       Up to this point that when I realized that I really enjoyed chatting with her knowing that she loves anime. I've decided that I'm going to confess my feelings for her one day... For the time being, I'm just going to ask some of my friends whom already has a girl friend for advice on how this confession thing works. Wish me luck :)

Partnership

               
                  In all types of business company no matter how big or how small it is, they always have support, sponsors and partnerships with other companies. That's how they can stabilize their dealing and tradings throughout different places. Basically, they find a helping hand to aid them in expanding their business in exchange by sharing some benefits with them. Both party will gain benefits once an agreement has come to terms and this will open up new ideas in making your sales successful in a shorter amount of time.

                    And that is what I've achieved these past few days. Cardfight Vanguard Stuff ( https://www.facebook.com/cardfightvanguardstuff ) has signed an agreement to a partnership with Anime Access ( https://www.facebook.com/animeaccess1863 ). and this allows us to do stock exchanges, advertisement on both parties and sharing booths in anime events such as 'C2 AGE'. It's also to help improve other key aspects of our anime life from other people's opinion.

                    In other words, they can be helpful in making our business grow and expand in the future and the more the merrier. I do planned on at least invite 5-8 community groups for a joint partnership. Currently, one down...... 4 more to go...... But with that said, Finding a cooperative business partner is not easy. Some are just too popular which made us being ignored since we're counted as a minority in this community. Nevertheless, I'll slowly try my best to find other business page to form a cooperative relationship as time slowly pass by.

                     Off to another topic, I've just watched a movie called "The Interview" and it was hilarious and at the same time 18 years and above. It didn't get screened in Malaysia cinemas because apparently, we're afraid that we might offend the north Koreans just by watching that movie -_- sigh. Either way, the power of Google solves everything in which i just downloaded the whole movie in HD!!! and enjoyed it myself tonight as it screened it on my laptop. Cheers to all and hope you guys got a great weekend.

Naruto: Is it the Last???

                                           Warning: spoiler alert in the movie. get ready!!!!  
                 
                   Few hours ago, I just watched Naruto: The Last Movie and it was the best AND the last movie for the Naruto franchise. The manga has already ended and the anime is just stalling a little bit more. But at some point, Masashi Kishimoto has to retire someday. I can say that it has been 13 years when the franchise started and it has made a lot of fans and community alike to get this far. And after watching "The Last Movie"....
                 

                   It was worth all along to wake up 8a.m. in the morning, take a 40 minutes train ride which I arrived at around 9.40a.m. Line up at around 10a.m. in a VERY long queue and bought a god damn 3.40p.m. showtime ticket (it was fully booked and I was the third-last person to bought it). and wasted more than 5 hours of my life loitering around the shopping complex (discovered some weird places).... And it was all for the sake of sitting down in a large hall watching the last naruto animated movie and was it really worth it???

                                            Yes, yes it was... Why because: (SPOILER ALERT!!!)
 1. Story plot was AWESOME because it shows some romance, comedy and epic battles.
2. Theme song was well played out (you can hear it on the trailer).
3. Sasuke was so AWESOME in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7xVLUOI88U
                                                       here's the subtitle:
                   Kakashi: you're???
                   Sasuke: when he's(naruto) not around, I will protect this village at all cost!!!
                   Kakashi: Sasuke!?
                   Gai: What just happened???
4. The antagonist kept prompting that Naruto will never lay a punch on him and by the end of it, got        an epic punch right in the face XD!!!
5. Hinata finally gets what she deserves (I mean she had a crush on Naruto ever since the series               started, so yeah. If Naruto doesn't love her back, gonna do a chidori right in his face) lol
6. Bolt and Hiwamari was shown at the end of the closing scene.
7. You'll feel refreshed after watching this movie. Like everything was "NEW", even though the             movie was the "LAST". XD

                    And that is why you should get out of your house and find the closest GSC cinema to watch this god damn movie because (how often are anime movies played in cinemas aside from "K" The Missing Kings -.-).

                   With all that, my "January" life has ended (wow, that was fast). It was awesome but it also has its' down side. By the end of the month, you'll still feel happy that at least you FINALLY WATCH A GOD DAMN ANIME MOVIE and IT WAS NARUTO!!!!

An Equivalent Trade

                        Everyday when we did made a decision to do something, we'll never know what are the consequences. You would never expected it to happen to you so fast. Either way, you would still have to pay the price once you've made the decision from your past. Because everything you did will eventually lead to an outcome you would not expect.

                         For example, yesterday was awesome. Today was horrible... But because of my decision to make my life awesome yesterday, it affected my life today turning into a stressful day.

                          It all started when I wanted to eat Mc Donald's yesterday around 1.30pm, just as I was about to make my exit from the house. I decided to take one last look on my facebook page through my smartphone. Little did I know, I saw an update on the latest anime convention for this January 2015 (the UCC cosplay ball). And it was happening right under my nose at One City Mall in USJ 21. Since I saw some of my friends were there, I might as well drop by and take some pictures while I'm at it. When reaching there, it was amazing that it wasn't as cramp as Comic Fiesta 2015 or C2 Age. But I was really hungry and Mc Donald was nowhere to be found, so I just randomly buy a sandwich complemented with an "Oishi" green tea and that settles my late lunch.

                            After that, I enjoyed myself with all the events they held there and took tons of picture.

                                            

                 TCG, cosplays, anime merchandises, mini concerts, you name it, all there. Had a great time and even won myself a free playmat and at one point, I even started singing Haruka Kanata from the 2nd opening of Naruto with a bunch of friends (mostly shouting cuz that's what most of the lyrics is about lol). It was awesome and met an old friend from SMKSJ.

                     The following day (today), I slept late and woke up around 1.50pm (I dun go to school so you know). And by the time I got myself cleaned up, I was feeling hungry since i miss breakfast. So I decided to go out for Mc Donald since I was planning to eat it yesterday but missed it. Got into my car and started driving and right when I reached SS15 near the junction beside a football field. I was about to turn right and make an exit to the direction of the Shell station (Drive through MCD). All of a sudden while in the process of turning mid-way, a speedy car just suddenly showed up crash into my side bumper. I had no idea where did it came from. After looking left and right, I was about to make my exit and suddenly a car appear right beside me causing an accident. Since she (it was a girl) was the one who crashed into my car, I assume she was driving way over the speed limit (30 km/h) around near 50km/h (it was really fast, at best around 38km/h no matter how you look at it).

                     So with that, I just wanted to settle the case quickly and stop any irrelevant arguments from happening. Unfortunately, she was driving on the main road and I was making my exit out from the junction (small road). And according to the traffic law, The one's driving on main road are always correct. So that kind of leaves me at fault no matter how I look at it. Even though she was driving over the speed limit, the law that I have offended was much bigger than hers'. So a police report was filed (definitely) and I have to pay a restitution of RM300. In addition, I received 8 demerits in my driver's license (15 demerits and I can never drive ever again). That means, another one of this kind of accident were to occur again before August 2016, I will have to retake my driver's test all over from scratch again...

                    But now that I think about it, if I had made my trip to Mc Donalds yesterday. That means I wouldn't be thinking about eating Mc Donalds today. That would leave me the option to just go eat some simple local food near my house and I could have avoided the accident that just happened today. But if I have chosen to go eat Mc Donald's yesterday, I would have missed all the anime events going on at the UCC cosplay ball (it only happens once a year, so yeah I would have chosen to go there rather than going to Mc Donald's since it's not going to disappear or anything). But because I choose something awesome yesterday, I paid a great cost for the decisions I have made today.

                    In other words, it was an equivalent trade no matter how you look at it. Nothing is free in this world. You will never know what are the decisions you've made until you've seen the result. Even now as you are reading this blog, you are actually choosing the decision to read it rather than ignore it. Either ways, you will have to face the results of your decisions soon. You just won't know when. My advice to you, choose wisely on the path you've made in your life.

Getting Ready for Something New!

                         Where should I start...? Oh right, I got enrolled into Taylor's college through my forecast SPM results. And now, I'm just waiting for March 3rd to hit the calendar for me to check my real SPM results online. Finding a part-time job seems to get me bored everyday, even though I was accepted into vacancies from some shops. Still, I feel bored just to wake up every morning doing the same thing over and over again. Right now, I'm returning to ranking up my League of Legends division before college starts. Hopefully if I can also spared some time playing Dragon Nest again.

                           In other news, I just watched the Seventh Son last Sunday with some friends in MBO cinemas at Subang Parade. It was a great movie and while that has been happening, my facebook page just reached 500 LIKES!!!!! WOHOO. Now aiming for 1000 likes before 2015 ends. For those who hasn't heard of it, your likes and share are well appreciated here: www.facebook.com/cardfightvanguardstuff . Coming this far was not easy and I've also been thinking about creating a facebook group dedicated to funny stuff on League of Legends. If anyone is interested to be an admin for that group, don't hesitate to message me through facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/tyler.chow.90 . The only requirements you need is to know how to play the game (that's all).

                            A few days ago, I just completed the campaign on Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. Awesome game, recommended for all PC-Gamers who loves spamming and producing armies in a matter of seconds (even though they're weak ones) and you can conquer anything on the map in numbers. Currently, I'm really looking forward to Legacy of the Void (the last expansion for the Starcraft 2 trilogy) and all it's new units are already looking frosty. Beta testers are welcome to try new maps on the current game. There are rumors about Legacy of the Void allowing players to play the campaign with a cooperative style in the 2-player mode where one player will handle the micro-tactics, while the other one will have to handle the macro-tactics. If this feature were to be true, then it's time for me to find a partner worthy to fight by my side as the Protoss to the very end XD.

                              With most of my goals that I've never expected to be accomplished gotten done in these past few days, I certainly will have to make room for new goals in life. Until then, here's a toast to our innocence of youth. "TO THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH, HAZAAMMMMM!!!"

                           

Was it Tragic???

                         I've always wondered what will happen after I pass away. What would my family felt and what will everyone do after I die. There are a lot of theories suggesting that one would either go to heaven or hell after death, while some suggest it would either become nothingness or be reincarnated. This always baffles me when I've achieved something in life. Because every time when I accomplished something, I felt like I just moved forward, as if like something is dragging me towards the inevitable end. And I ignored it every time when it bugs me and just continue towards my next goal in life. All the way until now, I realized that there is no escaping the final destination. It took me this long to finally get it through my head that everyone will eventually die, some just really need a little help.
 my
                         A recent tragic has occur in the Chow's family, the passing of my father's father (my grandfather) has died on the 14th of January 2015, last Wednesday. It was a shocked when I heard the news from my father. Apparently it was during my first day enrollment into Taylor's college. After receiving the letter of acceptance into the school, I was so excited for a brief moment until when the news arrived, it crushed my happiness soul and turned it into something sorrowful...

                          I had to return to Pahang and attend the funeral of course. I was expecting a sad environment when I arrive, but for some reason it was nothing. When the moment I entered the house, everyone was chatting and not a single ounce of tears were seen by anyone. All the way until the memorial ceremony, only a few shed of tears were spared in my view. I'm not sure whether am I in a funeral or not after exposing myself to that surrounding.

                          Everyone had a good meal for dinner and the next day we were preparing ourselves to go to the crematorium by bus. It was a long journey around an hour and a half and when we reached there, we continue to pray and say our final words before sending him off into the crematory. Burning him would take some time, so the whole family decided to have a feast for lunch. (Again, no tears were seen). Some even share some laughter and everything seemed to be normal.

                           And just when we went back to collect it's ashes and bones, everyone started praying again and his six children (including my father) each had to choose a piece of its' bones and put it into a jar. And with that, everything was settle when we took the bus back home with another hour and a half journey. We arrived at a temple where we have to pray...... again... After some briefing it would seemed that the funeral is finally over.

                           I feel awkward when attending this funeral where no sadness is seen much. I'm not sure whether this always happen to all types of funeral or did I just watched too much movies where people cried when someone died. Either way, on my way back to KL it got me thinking. Will this happen to me as well when I died??? I'm not sure whether people are not suppose to share sadness when someone pass away, but I don't like it. I don't know why, but I just don't feel like I was in a funeral. All I know was that I was thankful for everything my grandfather has did for me and sad for what I could not repay the debt that I've owed to him. I kept thinking what if........... what if I was able to repay the things that I have owed him. What if I had spent more time talking to him... (I mean I lived so close to him for 2 years).

                            I don't want to regret the decisions that I've made, but sometimes I felt that I should at least repay the debt I owned to someone before it's too late. More or less, this is just a suggestion that I would like to share.
