About me: So...what can I say about myself? Well, I'm sixteen, and I'm from Singapore. Procrastination is something like a hobby of mine. I own a kick-ass PS3 and it's not one of those lousy new models either. It's those which came out first with all the cool emulation shit. So yes, I play alot of games. I hate senseless flamers. They suck and are a total waste of space. I've been writing for about two years now and I can proudly call myself a regular on fanfiction with no life whatsoever and have another account on fictionpress. Yep, that's about it.

News

18th September- I'm BACK! For how long however, I am not sure. I've just finished the third chapter for Fate/Memoirs and will be posting it up soon and I'm also halfway through the next chapter of Lost Regalia. I've decided to work on these two for now while I'm out of my slump. Expect an update soon.

28th July 2009- Ok, so here's the deally as to why I haven't posted anything a while. I started school way back in April and well, the distance between it and my house is an hour and a half journey long by public transport, if the traffic is good that is. As a student, I don't have the cash to take a cab every single day. I wake up at 6 a.m. everyday and leave my house by 6:45 just so I can scrap through making it to school at 8:30. Then I'll usually be in school till 4 p.m. after which I'll stay back another half an hour or so to finish my work and occasionally, until 5:30 just so I can have a social life. I'll then make my long way home again and reach my doorstep by around seven-ish. Another hour goes by for dinner and a nice bath before I can soundly sit behind my computer screen. Usually, I'll take another hour to check through all my online activities. Replying to emails, forum stuff and catching up on some anime and mange online before I start writing. That gives me an hour to write which by the time, you can probably guess my mood by then. I make some slow progress before jumping into bed, only to repeat the same thing over again the next day. Now that everyone know my personal life schedule, I'll give a little update on my stories. Lost Regalia is currently at two pages long, Memoir is at six pages and my Suikoden fanfic at two pages. I'm also working on a novel which is currently also progressing rather meakly at seven pages and another story for fictionpress at one page long. Yeah, really pathetic, I know. I haven't given up writing yet, not by a long shot. I just need time. Lots of time. I'll be giving it my darnest though, count on it.

8th June 2009- Again, I'm sorry for not posting these days but I've been in kind of a slump lately. I'm picking myself back up now though, albeit a little slow. Give me time, I'll make it up to everyone.

9th April 2009- I totally apologize for being late on Lost Regalia. I just haven't been at my computer for a while. And when I am on it, I just don't have enough time to post it since I was rushing. It's here now though so enjoy people.

25th March 2009- Yeah, I know it's been long. And I know you'll all be pissed to know that I'm giving this post today to promot Earth Hour. But bare with me, there is good news. Not that saving the Earth isn't good news, in fact, it's great news. Well, you get the gist. Anyway, Earth Hour is well, an hour when we all make a statement about global warming by shutting down all our light and if possible, electrical appliances. This is to tell the world that we are taking a stand against global warming ya. So whoever you are, wherever you are, on 28th March, 8:30 - 9:30 p.m. at whichever country you live in, turn off your lights and support the Earth. Vote Earth. Now I have the good news but it comes with a catch. I'm gonna put out the next chapter of Lost Regalia and Fate/Memoirs along with (hopefully) a FULLY rewritten Suikoden: DOO. And if I have the time, the last chapter of By the Sea as well, all within the first two weeks of April. BUT, you guys gotta take part in the Earth Hour. PM me, tag me on my blog, review or even voting in the poll, just let me know you're taking part. If there's even just five people willing to go the distance for the planet, I will go the distance to write even better stories.

17th February 2009- Sweet, having progress with Fate/Memoirs here so I'm quite happy. Should get the next chapter up somewhere between this week and the end of the next. And give a round of applause or something for my new beta friend, Enslavement-Thesis. Remember to drop some reviews to give me some motivation dudes and dudettes and I'll gurantee the next chapters for which ever story will come even faster.

9th January 2009- My results are coming out and I'm going to be very busy after that. So some of the release I promised might not make it in time. I'll put Destiny Blade on hiatus for now until I can find a way to start the prologue up.

31st December 2008- Well, last day of the year so I guess there should be a some updates. 139 over at fictionpress, By the Sea and Lost Regalia will be getting an update by mid January the most. After that, will focus on Dawn of Odyssey and Kingdom Hearts: Destiny Blade (name definitely sounds better than Rules of the Kingdom). I've junked the CSI shorts as I realized I have no idea whatsoever about forensic science but I will keep the request (if any) for Half Seen open. Also, since the science department isn't really my thing, I decided to start on something else that IS my thing. Namely demonology. Any good rpg gamer would most likely know what I'm talking about right now. Yup, Shadow Hearts. It's just a little something I've wanted to write ever since I completed Covenent but never got the chance so here's to hope I pull it off. Happy New Year everyone!

25th December 2008- Merry Christmas people. Gotta stop writing for a while to get to all those holiday parties. See you guys in the new year.

6th December 2008- Yes yes, I really did make a double update. A rewritten version of Fate/Memoirs, much longer and much better. Along with that is Gear Ten of Lost Regalia. Coming next would be Gear Eleven and the next chapter of By The Sea.

Writing Style

Tends to focus alot more on story than action or description and have a tendency to edit stories to put in the action and description I've made at a later date. Prefers to work on original characters as they give me a wider range to explore and create.

Note worthy OCs

Adam Law: My first ever OC and is one that I'm extremely proud of. His wide past and character shall remain a mystery to all of you until further chapters. Thruthfully, he is the only one character where I've spent over three years to develop.
From: Suikoden Trilogy

Shou Kenta: He's actually inspired by my favourite wrestler, Zach Gowen. Gowen is a one-legged wrestler who overcomed cancer and I was so inspired by him that I decided to come up with a handicap character to show to people that everyone can do anything.
From: Lost Regalia

I think it's the people who have no doubt that every word they put down is gold that probably don't write very well. -Dean Koontz (absolute best quote ever!)

A good book has no ending. -R.D. Cumming

Civilization rests on the fact that most people do the right thing most of the time. -Dean koontz

Each reader needs to bring his or her own mind and heart to the text. -Dean Koontz

Be careful the environment you choose, for it will shape you. Be careful the friends you choose, for you will become like them. -W. Clement Stone

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. -Walt Disney

They say nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds. -Wilt Chamberlain

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit. -Nelson Henderson

How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light. -Barry Lopez, Arctic Dreams
