professor layton

blew my socks away yet again!!! i did not plan on getting it until i had saved enough cash but i decided to cave in and googled around for how much it was selling for in sg. AND i was hooked when i saw it was going for $49!!! that's cheaper than the $59 that play-asia is selling (plus the 1 week wait! )

so i called funsquare who informed me that they had NO STOCK. i was crushed, devastated and decided to try gamescore. BINGO!! and they actually have a game buy-back scheme. i needed to get rid of animal crossing (BORING), touch detective (stupid game which requires WAYY too much brain work) and cooking mama (...) and they offered me $50 for all 3!

*gasps* i did not need to pay a single cent for professor layton and the diabolical box! this was very good news.

so long story cut short, i tore through the game in 3 days and finished it up nicely today! i have to crack all the challenges but for now, i can take a breather. i love the game soundtrack though, trust the japanese to come up with excellent products yet again.

and now i can hardly wait for the next one which is already out in jap but i really need to handle the puzzles in english. sigh.

till then... and ooh! ace attorney miles edgeworth is coming out in feb 2010. welcome news indeed.

little things that offer a respite from the dread and gloom.

la vie est belle

Life is beautiful
We live until we die

When you run into my arms
We steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile
Let them see you smiling

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles

Yeah, life is beautiful
Our hearts
They beat and break

When you run away from harm
Will you run back into my arms?
Like you did when you were young
Will you come back to me?

And I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in

Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles

Stand
Where you are
We let all these moments
Pass us by

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can can give

It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can give

Vega 4, Life is Beautiful

sometimes

you need to reach out and seize the chance. carpe diem.

i never quite realised what that meant, until i had that time to download what had happened. and it brought a smile, the mere realisation that someone bothered to remember.

it was a warm feeling, a feeling that made me wonder if it was a sign of better things to come.

they say when a woman cuts her hair, there will be a big change in her life. and for now, i can only just smile mysteriously, hoping and praying for something new.

And remind myself that life is beautiful, as it always has been. and the changes to come will only make it even more so, the memories to be created held dearly.

And to think it all started so ever innocently.

because i realised that you remembered.

just wonder

what happens when i finally choose to give up and stop caring...

And why shouldn't i start doing tt already?

networks

complexity. funny how i was reading an article on ST on how ppl get obsessed with checking on their ex-es on fb and i was thinking 'haha that's stupid!' and then found myself checking on a friend. not an ex, a friend i knew.

it was a weird situation because i suddenly realised said friend limited my access but the thing that riled me up was that i had no photo taken with the friend, when i actually did.

strange situation because i did think i was a pretty ok friend with said person and still think so. the issue left me obsessing over it, and led to a very surreal nightmare on dead4real game scenario which involved a lot of my people i knew.

mega huge nightmare that one which left me pretty upset when i woke up.

bah, maybe it's because it's a monday. and ooh look i love my phone cos i can blog from it.

still, the nagging feeling of self-doubt is present with regards to the social situation i am facing currently.

so karma bites you back in the ass... but what happens when you never even did anything?
