Begin Again - Taylor Swift + D
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
But I do, I do
I walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wait
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do
And you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny
'Cause he never did
And I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does is
Break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
You say you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do
But you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny
'Cause he never did
And I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does is
Break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
And we walk down the block to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches
Every single Christmas
And I won't talk about that
For the first time
What's passed is passed
'Cause you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny
Cause he never did
And I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does is
Break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again

Today's million-dollar question: Why can't people have memory chips implanted into them?
* * *
Ola :)
No, seriously. Wouldn't the world be so much better if we could remember everything? I, for one, hate not having to remember stuff in my life. Feels like mild amnesia.
Ugh~
Anyways, couldn't skip school again today so I got up and got changed before packing my bags and heading off to school. Since it's a Friday, I could sneak around to the back and line up with the rest of the Form 5's.
After about half an hour of Physics (after the assembly), I went around the school searching for my teachers to receive permission to practice in the music room for Saturday.
Well... after that was pretty much just us practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing and practicing. Ate at about 11 something before Kanga, Cleo and I had a little fun in the music room.
At 1 something, we ate at the canteen, then I decided to go back home. Dad came at about 1:40p.m and he then brought me to eat at Pappa Rich.
I think I would've had to eat at Kam Hei's if it weren't for my mom's two students' parents whose cars were parked right outside our gate, therefore disallowing any entry into our internal parking lot.
-.-
Had my usual D16 (less sugar) but changed my N10 to N11 today. Decided to try something different, you know? I figured too much chicken would be bad for me anyway. Plus, they de-shelled the prawns for me so I wouldn't have to :P
After coming back, I bathed, then printed out my result slip to show my dad before helping my aunt and mom collect the laundry from outside. Halfway, though, my mom asked me to follow her out to the photostat shop. She gave me money after that and I went to buy some food at the cake shop near my house.
They sell a variety of pastries and cakes. I like how the design their cakes. They aren't the really colourful-colourful cakes with green and purple and yellow and red stuff like a rainbow puked all over it, but just simple, cute white chocolate and black forest, blueberry-themed cakes.
Real nice.
Their pastries aren't too bad either. I like their sandwiches but one man's meat is another man's poison, yes?
Returned home after that and then watched 2 episodes of The Nanny while eating the tuna sandwich I bought and drinking the last bit of Enercal.
Mental note to self: Get money from Mom to buy more.
Used the iPad to do a few more things after that. Dad brought us (brother and I) out to The Chicken Rice Shop in Tesco for dinner.
Our main reason for going to Tesco was because I wanted to buy milk, actually. You see, we still have eggs in our fridge and I didn't want to eat scrambled eggs without milk, so... :)
I originally wanted to go to Solaris and get the milk from BIG (as well as the Jersey milk for both my family and my teacher) but my dad said if he didn't have business there, neither did I -.-
Changed into my pajamas after returning from Tesco and then proceeded to drafting my posts for the 4th and the 5th.
That's about it, then. CIAO!!

P/S/S: Graduation performance tomorrow!! AHH~ :P
~04/10/2012~
Today's million-dollar question: Guess who's going to school tomorrow?
* * *
Me, duh -.-
Ola :)
As much as I wanted to skip on school today, I had no choice but to go because of graduation preparations -.-
By the way, before I get into more serious details of this marvelous day, be warned that this will be a fairly short post.
O.O
Brother sent me to school today. After dropping me off at the back - by my request (I know, right?) - I went to the assembly hall and joined my class where they were seated.
Today was pretty boring because we had a rehearsal for Saturday's graduation. So... yeah~ Our whole day just consisted of them positioning us for Saturday and then having different teachers go up to talk about our discipline and how we should behave and dress and eat and walk and breathe and live on that day -.-
Ate at our usual recess time, but we had to go back to the hall at 0:30a.m because they still had to measure us for our robes and shit like that.
O.O
They had to filter the performances next.
This was the part of the day I detested the most.
I don't understand the thing about the teachers in our school. Look, I don't care if they're stressing over graduation preparations,because I sure as hell don't remember requesting for one, or crap like that but if I say we're not prepared, we're not prepared.
What part of "we're not prepared" does your almost non-existent brain not fathom?
Insisting that we play? Not giving us time to practice one time at least? Having last minute changes to the band members? Having internal disputes? Having to deal with uncooperativeness?
I'd like to hear if any stupid soul out there could have thought we could perform well.
Because of that one incident, I was in a damn shitty mood the whole day. Not to mention, I then started to have a headache. Thank goodness I didn't get a seizure.
-.-
Had a discussion about what to do after that with Mr Arm, whom now had full control over which performances to allow and which not to.
We're still allowed to play, of course, thank God.
Anyways, after that it was just practice and practice and more practice. Finished at about 3 o'clock.
Went to Kanga's place and did some stuff before my dad came to get me at 5 o'clock. We were talking about what names Kanga wanted to name her children if she were to have any in the future.
She wanted to name her son "Kingsley" O.O
I'm not so much of any name that begins with "King-", so... -.-
Sounds like Kingston, the brand for thumb-drives :P
That aside, when I came back, all I did was change into my pajamas after bathing and then sleeping. Woke up at about 7 something to make myself an Enercal drink and to take my meds before hitting the hay again.
That's about it, then.

Today's million-dollar question: How do messenger birds know where to send their messages to?
* * *
Ola :)
I didn't want to wake up today. Was very close to skipping school but I had practice to go to with Kanga and Cleo so skipping school this week was out of the question.
Haiz~
So, after grudgingly pulling myself off from my lovely bed, I went to change out of my pajamas and into my brass band uniform that was mandatory on Wednesdays.
I hate arriving to school early and late on Wednesdays. Why? Well, since it's our "badan beruniform" day, we have to sit according to our respective... "badan"s. And, what with me bringing the guitar and the two bags along, I stick out like a sore thumb.
As if that's not bad enough, I also never see my friends and where they're gathering, so I'm technically always left alone standing.
Luckily for me, though, today I spotted Shuen studying by one pillar so I went to join her. We had a nice long chat before we all went and converged in our groups as the assembly started.
Talking to her really made me see sense. She's had eight A's for her trials. Her only non-A was B+ for English.
Just so you know, I'm sighing very, very heavily right now. I don't think I'll be able to get straight A's for SPM. I'm gonna try harder from now on, especially with Biology.
After the assembly, we went up to class. Well, the rest did, because Kanga, Cleo and I went to see a teacher about our performance.
The one thing I figured out, though, was that Naufifi's group wasn't confirmed a slot during graduation. So, after settling some stuff we needed to settle upstairs, we went downstairs to the music room and began practicing.
We practiced "My Wish" a few times first before we heard about Naufifi's dilemma and how his band's singer wasn't feeling well and therefore could not practice together. He wasn't feeling too happy about it though, because they had not even practiced ONCE but had to show it to the teacher during rehearsals.
By the way, we're confirmed a place during graduation. The teacher even asked if we were only performing one song because he thinks we can do another one :)
Haha. I'm feeling very proud right now.
Yeah~
At about nine something, though, it was kind of confirmed that Nahd wasn't showing Ho so I had to sing "Faithfully" while the others practiced o their guitars. Josh brought his cajon thing – like in the Boyce Avenue music videos?
Yeah~
Ate two patties for recess, curtesy of Kanga buying them for me. Practiced some more, then when Mr Arm came in to check in on us again, he suggested Kanga, Cleo and I play one more song as well as incorporate Naufifi's band into our item too since Nahd was a no-show.
After a brief discussion, we agreed.
Well, it was pretty much just more practice, practice and practice after that so...
:)
Finished at 2:30p.m. Ate "nasi lemak" and drank iced Milo. Went to Kanga's house to wait for my parents to get me, which was at four.
Came back, bathed then ate the egg sandwich I just bought room a bakery near our house. Drank iced water too. Then I did some Biology while watching a few movies on my iPad.
It's currently 11:35p.m as I'm writing this draft so I think I should go unless I wanna wake up a zombie tomorrow :P

Today's million-dollar question: Will you love me till death do us part?
* * *
Ola :)
I started crying when I decided on today's million-dollar question. Okay, maybe I didn't cry, but I was tearing. Just finished listening to BSB's "I Promise You", so...
:)
Anyways, went to school properly today. Quite unfortunately, though, I couldn't find my tie just as we were leaving for school. Literally left no stone unturned, searching for my tie. And even then, I failed to find it.
When 7:30a.m came, my mom summarised that I had lost it and therefore decided I should buy a new one.
:(
At school, I went upstairs to the koperasi to buy the tie but unfortunately, the teacher that was there said she didn't know where they were kept, so I had to go tie-less for the entire day.
First subject of the day was Chemistry but fortunately for me, my Chemistry teacher was busy and did not have time to teach us. So, I just took out my guitar and started playing random songs.
Obviously Naufifi also wanted to play my guitar. He always does.
-.-
He also had to practice for graduation, though. He was playing the guitar to "Faithfully" with another girl singing it. Can't believe he didn't know the chords, though. That's one thing I don't understand: Why is his place already secured but we have to go through some quality control session with a jack who probably already has his heart set on not letting us perform?
Ugh, whatever, man.
Anyways, during recess, I followed Dellie around as she went from teacher to teacher, asking about stuff related to a bunch of random stuff. Ate a cheese bun :)
After that, I practiced "My Wish" in 5 Beta with Kanga and Cleo. Not bad, really. Miss the guys from my old class, but the guys from my current class are alright to some degree too.
:)
Went back for Bio because 5 Beta's teacher suddenly made an appearance. Bio wasn't too bad, though. She was teaching us how to write for the essay questions which, frankly speaking, we desperately need knowledge for.
The last subject today was English and I practiced the song on my own in my class. Joined up with Kanga and Cleo after school, ate then went to the Judo place to practice.
Had a nice time singing a few songs including the one for graduation. Went back home at 5:12p.m. Cancelled Add Maths tuition because I wasn't feeling well. Watched half an episode of The Big Bang Theory, two episodes of The Nanny and then listened to music while doing my Bio homework.
Ate chicken from the porridge place for dinner, by the way. Drank Enercal too. After that, I went upstairs, drafted today's post after changing into pajamas while messaging Dellie.
That's about it, then :)

~01/10/2012~
Today's million-dollar question: What is your wish?
* * *
Ola :)
Before I move on to more serious stuff, let's embrace the new month with a smile and happy thoughts :D
I'm probably saying that with biased feelings because I'm home on a Monday morning :P I absolutely detest Mondays, especially if I'm going to school.
Hate the morning assembly. Hate singing the songs. Hate the long speeches. Hate prize-giving ceremonies. Hate the feeling of my rear-end aching after the farce is over.
So yes, I love that I was home today during school hours.
I still hate today to some degree, though, because I had tuition with my Bio teacher. It's not that I hate the teacher, I have something against the subject itself. Did model test papers again today. The first model paper I did from our last lesson, I scored 20/50. The second and third one, I scored 18/50. Not exactly good for someone having SPM in one month.
The last paper I did surprised me, though. I scored 31/50. And it's all thanks to the fact that I did all the model papers.
You know what this means, right?
Gotta gear up for more :)
When lessons ended at 12:30p.m, I bathed, then locked up the house before having lunch with my parents and aunt at Kam Hei. Had mixed economy rice again and iced Milo.
It was 1:30p.mp.m when my mom and I returned. Helped with the laundry then used the computer to edit the lyrics so I could fit more on one page and save paper. Unfortunately, before I knew it, it was 2:37p.m.
I think I would've seriously sworn if I wasn't too fixated on changing and leaving for school. What pissed me off more was the fact I couldn't find the stupid guitar bag to put the guitar in.
Whoa, whoa, I haven't explained why I was going to school yet, right?
Graduation's this Saturday and Cleo wants the three of us - Kanga, Cleo and yours truly - to perform. I was going to school because we were practicing for it. Quite unfortunately, we were still undecided as to what song we were gonna sing so I had to print out lyrics for the possible songs.
And so, after finally finding the guitar bag - which my aunt had kept - and grabbing a bottle of water, I stuffed the printed lyrics and iPad into my guitar bag pocket then rushed out to where my dad was waiting.
He reprimanded me, of course, but I was in the wrong this time, so yeah~
Once in school, I found Cleo and Kanga in the canteen, eating, so I waited for them to finish before we headed towards the surau together. Learnt that Cleo was the only one that was supposed to perform on Graduation day O.O Not surprised. We still got a chance, though, because the dude said he would let us rehearse until Wednesday before deciding if we were in or out.
-.-
And so, while the band was out-of-tune-ly playing "Stand By Me", we practiced all the suggested songs I printed the lyrics for. Wanted so much to play "You and I" by Celine Dion but I didn't manage to print the lyrics for that O.O Don't know how that happened, but yeah~
We were still undecided when 5 o'clock came. Didn't help that it started raining and my dad had wanted Kanga and Cleo to drop me off opposite our main road so I could walk home. Kanga managed to ask my dad to get me at her house whenever convenient, though.
So yes, I spent about two hours at her place.
Had a whale of a time :) Drank Milo, ate rice with a fried egg, veggie and chicken, curtesy of her grandma. Then I saw Kanga's stamp collection and browsed her baby pictures.
It was 7:10p.m when Kanga sent me off. My dad then went to get my brother at the station. Since I had my iPad with me and was getting bored with the CD in the car, I played a playlist from my iPad while reading Rewritten, while waiting for my brother. His train was running late so we had to wait quite some time.
It was 8:30p.m when he finally got into the car. Had chicken from the porridge place for dinner before doing Add Maths model papers. Messaged Dellie and Chucky for a while before going upstairs to draft today's post.
THat's about it, then. Am going to school tomorrow, so I gotta sleep early :)
CIAO!!

When lessons ended at 12:30p.m, I bathed, then locked up the house before having lunch with my parents and aunt at Kam Hei. Had mixed economy rice again and iced Milo.
It was 1:30p.mp.m when my mom and I returned. Helped with the laundry then used the computer to edit the lyrics so I could fit more on one page and save paper. Unfortunately, before I knew it, it was 2:37p.m.
I think I would've seriously sworn if I wasn't too fixated on changing and leaving for school. What pissed me off more was the fact I couldn't find the stupid guitar bag to put the guitar in.
Whoa, whoa, I haven't explained why I was going to school yet, right?
Graduation's this Saturday and Cleo wants the three of us - Kanga, Cleo and yours truly - to perform. I was going to school because we were practicing for it. Quite unfortunately, we were still undecided as to what song we were gonna sing so I had to print out lyrics for the possible songs.
And so, after finally finding the guitar bag - which my aunt had kept - and grabbing a bottle of water, I stuffed the printed lyrics and iPad into my guitar bag pocket then rushed out to where my dad was waiting.
He reprimanded me, of course, but I was in the wrong this time, so yeah~
Once in school, I found Cleo and Kanga in the canteen, eating, so I waited for them to finish before we headed towards the surau together. Learnt that Cleo was the only one that was supposed to perform on Graduation day O.O Not surprised. We still got a chance, though, because the dude said he would let us rehearse until Wednesday before deciding if we were in or out.
-.-
And so, while the band was out-of-tune-ly playing "Stand By Me", we practiced all the suggested songs I printed the lyrics for. Wanted so much to play "You and I" by Celine Dion but I didn't manage to print the lyrics for that O.O Don't know how that happened, but yeah~
We were still undecided when 5 o'clock came. Didn't help that it started raining and my dad had wanted Kanga and Cleo to drop me off opposite our main road so I could walk home. Kanga managed to ask my dad to get me at her house whenever convenient, though.
So yes, I spent about two hours at her place.
Had a whale of a time :) Drank Milo, ate rice with a fried egg, veggie and chicken, curtesy of her grandma. Then I saw Kanga's stamp collection and browsed her baby pictures.
It was 7:10p.m when Kanga sent me off. My dad then went to get my brother at the station. Since I had my iPad with me and was getting bored with the CD in the car, I played a playlist from my iPad while reading Rewritten, while waiting for my brother. His train was running late so we had to wait quite some time.
It was 8:30p.m when he finally got into the car. Had chicken from the porridge place for dinner before doing Add Maths model papers. Messaged Dellie and Chucky for a while before going upstairs to draft today's post.
THat's about it, then. Am going to school tomorrow, so I gotta sleep early :)

Today's million-dollar question: The iPhone or the S3?
* * *
Ola :)
Got really mad with my dad today because he was trying to wake me up. I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. Plus, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.
Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go :P
Anyways, it was 10:30a.m when I finally got up and went to change. After doing so, I took half an Epilim pill and then did some house work with my dad. Laundry, mostly. Oh, and cleaning up after Pepper and Snuffles.
Before I realized it, it was already 11:50a.m, 10 minutes before my tuition lesson with my Add Maths teacher O.O In a rush, I messaged her to give me 10 more minutes then sped upstairs to bathe.
Thankfully, I had time to get the water ready as well as all my books out and on the table. I asked her to coach me on my Bio since that's my weakest subject at the mo. Did a Paper 2 model test paper with her then said goodbye at 2 something.
After that, I had lunch. Mom had bought me the vegetarian fried rice + egg from JR Organic Resources so I didn't have to go out or starve :P
Then, I got around to helping my dad print certificates for an event his company was having the next day.
So kind of him to give me a month's notice, right?
-.-
My dad was sleeping when I was done so I took my iPad, snuck up to my room then finished watching Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate. I think I'll review that after SPM, though. I'll tell you first that it's actually a good anime but I'll give details after the 26th of November :P
Dad caught me at about 4. Ran downstairs and demanded another 5 minutes before he took it away from me. Haha, but I ended up using it again after he left to get my brother from SPCA after his community service.
Sometime before my dad and brother came back, some dudes came around to settle our lawn so I let them in. Don't worry, my dad had called them to come, duh -.-
Anyways, after a while, my brother let me watch a snippet of the pilot episode of the Big Bang Theory. The dude actually downloaded the whole damn first season -.-
I'm gonna have to start clearing stuff from the Mac again very soon. And into my hard drive -.-
Aiseh~
Fed the dogs their dinner, tied Pepper to the railings, apologized to Snuffles for needing to tie her up, then did Add Maths in the music room.
When 6:30++ came, my mom came back. She chatted with her ex-student for a while then we all left to that place opposite our house for dinner.
Grandpa, aunt and uncle joined us from PJ too. Took them a while, but then, this is my aunt we're talking about :P
Bought the Taiwan Popiah from the night market!! Dude, he is awesome stuff. There's always a line at his stall.
It's really delicious.
Bought two, then came back home. The family was talking about which phone my aunt should buy: the iPhone or the Samsung S3.
And, after a 3-hour long debate about which one would be more suitable for my aunt, they left.
I watched an AMV featuring Sana and Akito then drafted today's post. Tied Snuffles to a different place then continued drafting my post until about 12:30a.m, when I prepared for sleep.
Which would be about now :P

Today's million-dollar question: What's the difference between a cathedral and a church?
* * *
Ola :)
I didn't go to school today. That wasn't my intention (then again, it never is, eh?). I had originally planned on bringing the guitar to practice whatever song Cleo wanted to sing for graduation.
Unfortunately, I ended up sleeping through my mom's calls for me to get up for school. Bleghh~
The next time I woke up was at about 11 something. My mom called me downstairs to drink the fruit juice my aunt and her had concocted. Today was pineapple and carrot O.O
Just so you know, by the way, I hate the before-taste of the juice. It always tastes better after it's been in your mouth for more than 2 seconds -.-
When my dad came down and finished his drink, I washed both our cups outside. My dad then tightened Snuffly's collar so she wouldn't let herself go anymore.
Sorry, Snow, but especially now that you're in heat, we can't have you bleeding all over the place.
Had lunch at Kam Hei's because Mom needed to be home to teach by 12 o'clock. Mom also noticed that I had a vegetarian meal - with the exception of eggs on my dish. Didn't feel like meat today, so...
-.-
Drank Milo, as usual.
When we came back, I did some stuff on the computer, namely looking out for manga to read.
I should really slap myself. Swore that after this, I would lay off the manga until SPM was over.
Although how long I'll be able to keep that up, I don't know.
-.-
And so I read Monkey High. I think I've read it before, but I'll review it later, anyway. Watched a few episodes of The Nanny too, on the computer, while I arranged the photos I have of Sword Art Online's Episode 12.
Ooh, and I downloaded the first episode of the fifth season of Castle. Don't think I'll be watching that soon, though, because I'm not that thrilled to be watching something after the two main characters get together. That just leaves the possibility of them breaking up.
It could lead to marriage too, but I highly doubt it.
Anyways, the second season of Yumeiro Patisserie is done downloading, which means when my sister comes back from Singapore - and I'm done with SPM - I get to torture her with 63 episodes worth of baking events!!
Haha.
While I spent my time at home, I helped my mom do a lot of house work like drying the clothes and taking in the clothes. When you do it while listening to music, it makes it that much more bearable, really.
At 6:30p.m, I had class with Miss LOL. Chemistry, mainly. Did a model paper that lesson before bidding her hasta la vista. I then finished the last chapter of Monkey High and proceeded to drafting my review for the 12th episode of SAO.
Went to the toilet, then bade my parents goodnight.
That's about it, then.

Sword Art Online Ep 12
Okay, okay, so this is late quite a few days, but anyways, this is the review for:
Sword Art Online Episode 12
Yui's Heart
This episode started off with a continuation from the previous episode, after Yui fainted. Kirito and Asuna let her sleep for a while then met with the bespectacled lady after Yui woke up.
I think it was a cathedral?
The bespectacled lady told her story about how she started the church and where all the children came from.
However, unfortunately for Kirito and Asuna, she had not seen Yui before.
Not long after, someone knocks at the door. It was Yulier, from the Army, there to thank Kirito and Asuna for their splendid work after their run-in with the Army dudes from the last episode.
Yulier was invited inside soon after because she had wanted to ask a favour from Kirito and Asuna after she found out their capabilities as fighters.
She then related her story about how her partner, Thinker, had been trapped in a dungeon, thanks to this idiot of a Kibaou. She recapped on these two characters, you see:
Asuna, being the "on-guard" person that she is, said that she would love to help if she could, but only after verifying that Yulier's story was true.
However, after Yui said her story was true, they relented.
I'll admit one thing: I doubted Yulier at first after that sidewards glance she gave them in the dungeon before descending down the steps in the dungeon.
But I couldn't doubt Yui, so that feeling didn't last very long.
I found the frogs unbelievably annoying. But I guess the lamer they look, the easier it is for Kirito to finish them off.
I was pretty glad he finally got to shine with his two swords. As usual, plenty of action and I loved every minute of it.
:P
Asuna didn't even flinch. She just stayed by with Yulier and Yui -.-
As for Kirito, it's like the exercise he's been waiting for, since all he's done so far was chill with Asuna.
Haha.
What I found funny was the part when Kirito showed Asuna the frog leg and said she could cook it.
Haiz~
Laughed a bit there because she kept throwing away the frog legs that Kirito got from the enemies.
I fully trusted Yulier here because her smile seemed very sincere. Yui was cute to have noticed this was the first time she laughed.
I didn't even notice.
I had to rewind the whole thing just to make sure Yui wasn't lying O.O
And so, Yulier and Thinker met and she ran towards him like they'd not seen each other in years. Expected it to be a trap, though, because he just kept waving.
When he yelled at her to get back, however, I kind of panicked. Didn't know what the hell was gonna happen.
Oh well, Kirito saved her so it was nothing to worry about.
As usual, Kirito immediately took off to battle the unbelievably large monster. I'll just call him the Grim Reaper. Kirito ordered Asuna to take care of Yui and get the hell out of there.
Sadly, Asuna said no. After entrusting Yui to Yulier and Thinker, she joined Kirito in battle.
Didn't help much, though, because the both of them got blasted them off to different parts of the room.
As their lives dwindled to the shade of yellow, however, guess who stepped in?
Haha. Yes. Their very own "child", Yui.
The looks on their faces were priceless. Did they actually think she would have stepped in if she was gonna lose?
My personal opinion, but I thought this part was beyond awesome. I have always loved invincible characters. Such examples would be Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin.
I'd give more examples, but I don't wanna waste time thinking.
Made it much more awesome after I saw that she was an immortal object.
Was expecting a much cooler term for her but hey, I'm not complaining.
As Yui was fighting here - and Kirito and Asuna were busy gawking - she reminded me of Shakugan no Shana's Shana.
Must've been the huge red, flaming sword and cool, blatant look on her face.
:P
After the battle was over, Yui sat them down and properly delivered her explanations. They were chocked beyond words, obviously.
I mean, they pretty much deduced that she was some kind of unique programme, but I don't think they expected this Cardinal thing or that Yui was capable of doing what she did - or could do.
I think it was very sweet, what Yui said, about wanting to stay by their sides. She felt like she could really be happy if she stayed with them.
Obviously, Asuna couldn't bear it and therefore ran to hug her, saying that they would make it happen.
That's when Yui said that it was already too late. After defeating the Grim Reaper with that awesome power she had, it was bound to let Cardinal know of her actions and her disloyalty towards them.
She then told Asuna that she would very soon be deleted. And, as she predicted, she started to fade away.
Kirito, outraged, then cursed Cardinal aloud before running towards the keyboard and typing away.
Asuna was wondering what he was doing and he answered that he was storing something.
Moments later, he was rebounded, but not before managing to save a piece of Yui that he called her heart.
Asuna cried as she held the small piece - that looked like a teardrop, actually - before they left.
Back at their "lovely little cabin", Asuna is seen looking up towards the sky, reminiscing and anticipating a future with Kirito and, as she called it, their first child.
This is absolutely late and quite unlike me because I'd normally immediately watch it and review it later. This time, however, I only watched the episode 2 days after I downloaded it, 3 days after the episode officially came out.
Why, you ask?
I think the last episode didn't leave me with that much of a good impression - despite my positive review of it - so I thought that the next episode wasn't going to amount to much as well.
I'm actually feeling that with this episode too. While it was emotionally stimulating and cleared up some confusion with how Sword Art Online actually functions, I didn't think Yui would disappear so fast. Asuna's reaction to her deletion made it seem like they'd known her forever.
And quite exaggerated.
Perhaps human feelings can amount to that much in a short time, but this didn't deliver the 'oomph' as good as it could have.
Another thing I wasn't too ecstatic about was Kirito and Asuna's fighting scene with Grim Reaper. The only got hit once. Sure, it was about Level 90, but I really thought they could have fought a little more.
I guess I was expecting some really cool action from them since their teamwork should be fascinating, but I was let down. Quite badly, too.
I have no complaints about Yui, though.
I'll give it another merit:
You know sometimes, when you're watching a good movie and when a good scene (usually a sad one) arrives, you get goosebumps?
I got that a lot when I was watching this episode. Of course, particularly, when Yui had regained her memories and let out her feelings.
Loved that the teardrop memento of Yui had quite the shape of a heart too. Not exactly identical to an actual human heart with veins popping out, but the one that has a love shape depiction.
So maybe the 10th episode is still, by far, my favourite, but this episode definitely takes second place, for the details of the game and the long-awaited fighting scenes, with a tinge of tragedy towards the end.
Guess now I can only wonder what the next episode will bring, huh?
CIAO!!
