Yeong Taiyaki!! （酿鯛焼き）

Yes, I made the title up. There is no such thing. I just put together Yong Tauhu and Taiyaki. Y'all best not have any opinion about that!

Well, my Internet line went down for the past three days, which would explain my absence these few days. Of course, I may also be gaming so much that I forgot to come online. Social relationships are so forgettable, unlike video games, especially Final Fantasy.

Anyway, I'll start with a record of the past few days:

Friday (21 Nov)
Red Box, oh, Red Box!!! It's been a while since I last sang/heard “黑色毛衣”. And I can't believe they really had Kyonkyon's "Kogarashi ni Dakarete" and ZARD's "Makenaide"! Singing them was nice.

Then, of course, I had to give "Cha-la Head Cha-la" a go! I literaly screamed into the mic like Konata, but something felt wrong. Maybe because I screwed up some of the lyrics, or maybe that high-pitch screeching the PA system made when I shout into the mic. The next time I sing this one, I have to make sure that I ignore the screeching and shout louder!

After that, we headed to the arcade. Haha! Once exams are over, my focus seriously improved in ParaPara. I can handle almost all the 6-star songs now. Beat that, Winger!

Finally, I went to pick a present for Pikaby since it was his birthday. I haven't had the chance to go out to buy his present all thanks to exams. Unfortunately, that gift I had in mind wasn't there. So, I gues I owe him lunch the next time we meet.

Saturday (22 Nov)
Since my line was still down, and I didn't bother to fix it, I spent the whole day playing the very first Final Fantasy Tactics. And it is as addictive as ever. But I do hate the fact that boss characters are so insanely powerful. The final battle against Gafgarion was so hard at first that I had to try 5 times before I won.

Sunday (23 Nov)
More gaming! I spent the whole morning and afternoon training my characters and unlocking skills. At night, my family and I went to New World Park for dinner. Since it was so close, we decided to go to Young Ones and FINALLY, I've got my own Go set. No wooden board to play on, though. Only a piece of plastic, but it's better than nothing.

Today (24 Nov)
We called Streamyx to fix the problem. And for some reason, it decided to work just when we were just going to ask someone to come fix it. Stupid modem is messing with us. Anyway, whole day of Final Fantasy Tactics again.

Today's battles were tougher than ever! They had me fight four battles in a row without a chance to restock. That means if I went in at too low a level, I'd be dead and would have to restart the whole game from the beginning since there's no way to leave that place the moment I enter.

First, I had to solo Wiegraf, which was hard. He needed three hits to kill me. I needed 2 hits with my strongest attack to kill him. And he always has the first turn, so my strategy was just to bet on the chance that my attacks hit the turn it is used (sometimes, I have to wait a turn if he's faster).

And then I had to fight Velius which deals massive damage to my whole party! Once again, I just spammed all my powerful techniques and most of my luck to win this one.

Just when I thought it was over, they threw me into a third bout! Good thing I only had to damage one of the bosses to critical HP and the battle is over, or I would've DIED there!

Phew... well, I'm off to download anime and back to more FFT!
