Square Enix is famous for brining us games from the Final Fantasy Franchise and others like Kingdom Hearts. But this time, they have decided to break out from their usuals and provide us with a new game that is innovative and at the same time awesome.

The World Ends With You is an RPG that is set in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. I have been spending quite some time on this game for a while. I haven’t been addicted to a game so much since Warcraft a long long time ago. I’m not going to write a review for the game. There are a lot of reviews out there already.

The best part of the game is the battle system. You control two characters who are fighting simultaneously against monsters known as “noise”. One character is controlled via the touchscreen using the stylus and the other character is at the upper screen and is controlled by key presses. Two videos of the battle system.

And lastly, I LOVE the soundtrack. It’s a mix of hip hop and trance.

There are of course many other nice features of this game. You can find out more by reading reviews like this. Otherwise, go grab a DS and play it. =)

Deja Vu

Where did we meet before just like this
I know your smile
Your voice just like that
You talk to me and I smile back
I don’t believe in fantasy
Same dress that now reminds me
Something I can’t forget
Same song same tone in your voice
Tell me this isn’t a dream
Take me forward, stars are still asleep
You and me, we live forevermore
I would follow you my destiny
Won’t you get my favorite photograph
I’m getting played by you
Deja vu

Where did we meet before just like this
I know your smile
Your voice just like that
You talk to me and I smile back
I don’t believe in fantasy
Same dress that now reminds me
Something I can’t forget
Same song same tone in your voice
Tell me this isn’t a dream
Take me forward, stars are still asleep
You and me, we live forevermore
I would follow you my destiny
Won’t you get my favorite photograph
I’m getting played by you
Deja vu

From The World Ends With You

Tags: lyrics, the world ends with you

A new song from Mayday. As usual, it’s good.

小太阳

多么难忘 是你纯真的模样
突然的吻 弥漫着茶香

多么向往 梦想总是在他方
你说等我 不管多漫长

你就是太阳 蒸发了彷徨
所以挖开土壤 种下希望 离开了故乡

看着你的眼眶 流着泪闪着光
我会很快回来 继续我们未完的天堂

看着你的脸庞 微笑着要我去闯
你的盼望是我握在手中小小的太阳

念念不忘 此刻应该是农忙
如画风光 有你在歌唱

你就是太阳 烧亮了方向
你让地球旋转 月亮发光 让我有翅膀

看着你的眼眶 流着泪闪着光
我会回来继续我们未完的天堂

看着你的脸庞 微笑着要我去闯
你的盼望是我活在手中小小的太阳

信乐团 - 死了都要爱

死了都要爱
不淋漓尽致不痛快
感情多深只有这样
才足够表白
死了都要爱
不哭到微笑不痛快
宇宙毁灭心还在
把每天当成是末日来相爱
一分一秒都美到泪水掉下来
不理会别人是看好或看坏
只要你勇敢跟我来
爱不用刻意安排
凭感觉去亲吻相拥就会很愉快
享受现在别一开怀就怕受伤害
许多奇迹我们相信才会存在
死了都要爱
不淋漓尽致不痛快
感情多深只有这样才足够表白
死了都要爱
不哭到微笑不痛快
宇宙毁灭心还在
穷途末路都要爱
不极度浪漫不痛快
发会雪白土会掩埋
思念不腐坏
到绝路都要爱
不天荒地老不痛快
不怕热爱变火海
爱到沸腾才精采

Imagine six days out there in the jungle with camouflage cream on you face 24 hours a day, eating combat rations and being ill throughout. I went in coughing and since the jungle wasn’t the best place for recovery, I came out with more cough and a blocked nose of mucus/phlegm. For those who have not been through the camp, I would advise you to take care of yourself and try NOT to fall sick during the period of time. You will cough in the middle of the night and this makes it hard to even sleep. Spice it up with some night “events”, I ended up being so tired that I could fall asleep in the middle of cleaning up my M16.

But I survived!

On a side note, I purchased what seems to be my first novel in a long time: Kite Runner. It’s worth a read if anyone needs any reading material.

It’s rather hard to maintain a so-called life. Weekends are rushed and you can only go out so many times and when in camp, you basically do the basic routine over everyday. Still I’ve managed to watch a few good movies lately. I haven’t really seen much movies lately that I can safely say was money was spent.

First up was Atonement. It’s basically a tragedy kind of story and since it was rated M18, it was my first M18 show. Honestly, I think it didn’t really warrant that rating - a NC-16 would have been sufficient anyway. The soundtrack was pretty unique and was excellent. It used the sound made by those ancient typewriters as part of the music.

Next up was Kite Runner based on the novel of the same title. The story is great but I think the novel does the story more justice. You miss out certain important elements like characters’ thoughts which obviously cannot be put on screen.

On a side note, I finally managed to achieve a sub-ten 2.4 km run timing - 9:52 =)

I want this album so badly.
