 Happy New Year Everyone!

Hey all,

I know I haven't been update this site journal for almost more than a week. This is mainly because I've been very busy helping out my family with their events. Anyways my friend tag me again so I have to do it.

Use Google Images to search the answers to the questions below. Then you must choose a picture in the first page of results, and post it as your answer. After that tag 7 people.

Q1. The age of my next birthday




Yup. Japan's legal age. That means I'm fully an adult when I reach this age. But why the heck is the picture so childish?


Q2. A place I'd like to visit



I searched for "Tendo City" but they gave me a picture of the mountain near Tendo City...


Q3. A favorite place

Q10. A hobby

Q11. Current wish list (max 3 items)

Not exactly this laptop. I just want a new laptop which is more powerful than my current one.


Q12. A favorite thing



I'm going to spend the rest of my life with this thing! Ever! =3


Q13. College major

I'll leave this up to your imagination. =3


Anyways this will be my last time being "tagged". Any more tags from friends will be ignore because my blog focus on what stories I'm working on and explanations why I'm not working on them. Anyways I'm still busy helping out with my family and will only be free starting this Sunday. I have already decided to write a Christmas story for this year and hope I will be able to finish it before Christmas. Ideas and stories have been planned and now the only problem is getting the time to write it. I hope everyone is looking forward reading it. It has been more than a year since I published one. Take care everyone! See you all next week!

Hey all,

Before I begin to talk about Shogi Festival, which was held in Japan Club Kuala Lumpur today, I would like to show the book that I have purchase via internet which has cost me roughly around RM 100.

Yesterday I was told that today Shogi Festival will be held in Japan Club Kuala Lumpur. One of the Japanese told me that it was starting around noon but I thought it was just a normal festival but it turns out that they were having tournaments!


A knockout tournament! I didn't knew they were having tournaments otherwise I would have join them! I shouldn't have went there at 2pm. And this is the first time in my life I've seen so many Japanese playing Shogi in Japan Club!


These are the giveaways and prizes. There are two types of categories. One is for adults and another is for children. Naoki has already finished his game so I have a game with him. Unfortunately I lost. =(   But I knew why I have lost. =)


After the tournament has ended, We were given by a small lecture on tsume Shogi by a 9-Dan pro Mr. Kenji Kobayashi. After the small talk a gift was given to the club leader as a small present...


This present actually has all the signatures of the Meijins! Do not look lightly on this prize. It is actually worth more than RM 3,000!!!


Two tables are set up and Mr. Kobayashi is going to play against 7 players at the same time, including me! He gave me two piece handicapped, Rook and Bishop. The game lasted for a long time and I lost. After all the games Mr. Kobayashi gave evalution on everyone about how well they played. Naoki has the strength of 2-Dan amateur while I have the strength of 3 kyu only. That explains why I have lost to Naoki earlier. Looks like my days of exams have really deteriorate my Shogi skills. =(   But I remember Naoki was playing against handicapped of Rook, Bishop and two Lances... Fortunately Mr. Kobayashi praised me that I have talent and might be a genius. I have never been so proud of myself in my life. =D

After that it's time to hand the prizes to the winners!

Hey all,

Today's 28th Nov so that means... exams are finally over!!! WOOHOOOOO!

With my semester ended I can finally play Shogi the whole day! Actually I'm playing Shogi at this moment and I'm taking a break right now to type this entry. I have been learning for Shogi for two straight hours so I still have 6 hours ago! It's great that I can learn Shogi full time, with at least 8 hours per day. Call me crazy, but that's how I love so much about Shogi!

On the night before my last exam, I couldn't sleep at all. Not that I was worried about my exams just because I have to take two different papers on the same day, the main reason is I was too excited about playing Shogi after exams! I found it a little scary that my obsession of Shogi is too strong but... I love this feeling! I did not force myself to learn 8 hours of Shogi. I was actually spending it just like my past-time/leisure! The sense of learning new strategies, discovering new ideas, playing against myself - it feels so great and refreshing!

Tomorrow is Saturday and I'm going to Japan Club Kuala Lumpur to play a few games of Shogi. It has been a very long time since I last visited JCKL. Hope my skills improve!

Alright everyone, I'm going to resume learning Shogi now. Take care everyone!

Hey all,

You think I have forgotten about it? When I said I will post at least once every week I will definitely do it so here's the entry!

Because I have some unpleasant events in my college for the past few weeks, I started to remember about my highschool life. Then I remembered about this blog I created back then. I named it "Yami no Seikai", which means "World of Darkness" in Japanese. The blog's background is black and the font size and colour used are 12 white. And then I add a small yellow-border chatbox at the side of the blog. But what I really think it's cool is that for each post's title I used the name of the song that I'm currently in love with. Just like this post, "Hanabi" is sang by Mr. Children and I have been listening to it recently. Not only that I actually wrote about how the song's mood matches with my current mood in that blog.

Aside from that I remembered why I have created a blog called "Yami no Seikai'. You see, "Yami no Seikai" was suppose to be an organisation (or something similar like an orphanage) where people, who thinks they have no friends or feel lonely, would gather together. I seem to have forgotten about this mission over these hectic years. I'm still not sure whether I should carry this mission once again on my shoulders or not. I always hate seeing people being lonely because it reminds too much about the lonely life that I have struggled and endured over the years alone. For their sake, I want to protect them and let them know there there is always one person caring for them no matter what the circumstances are.

Anyways I have been terribly sick for four days so I don't really feel like typing out more. To make matter worse, tomorrow's my exam and I have yet to study. What the heck am I suppose to do!?

Regards.

Hey all,

I guess it has been a very long time since I last properly post something in this journal aside from my 'experimental stories'. As you have noticed, I spend lesser and lesser time to update those segments and therefore I'm going to put a close to it, for now. Maybe because I'm lazy, maybe because I don't have the time to write it but I can ensure you that I did not run out of ideas. Writing a segment could take me at least 1 to 2 hours, with proper planning! To be frank, I did not have enough proper planning for the rest of the segment, which if I were to type out a segment now it could probably take 4 to 5 hours for me.

Nine segments have been typed out, which I'm actually impressed with myself, and there should be 4 to 5 more segments left. The other reason why I'm getting lazy to write it because I feel demotivated from not receiving any comments or remarks about it! Without any support or comments I have finally run out of passion to write it. However I still do write new stories from time to time.

I will be withdrawing all the segments temporarily and hope to post it again after I have edit, and complete the rest of the segments. At the mean time, expect to see a new story coming out for this year's Christmas, probably.

Regards,
Ryou Takehito

It has finally been more than 8 years.

One look at my MSN messenger's personal message and you would see "(name of song) - Weiß kreuz" for the whole day today. Yup, that's right. I haven't forgotten what I had said last year. Today is Weiß kreuz day for me.



Regards,
Ryou Takehito


PS: Sorry I won't be able to write my story tonight because I have a test tomorrow. But I'll be sure to continue it whenever I'm free!

It's 1.40 a.m. now and since I'm so bored and listening to Weiss kreuz songs at the same time (Weiss kreuz songs always keep me awake throughout the night because their songs are fantastic that I want to keep listening to it!).

Anyways here's the photo that I promise to show it to everyone when I got it from the other members of AISEP. All these photos are taken by Marie, a very kawaii girl. ^^v

Gift Exchanges


That's all for the photos. Before ending this journal, I would like to say that I won't be posting about my personal life for the moment. If some of you have actually noticed my last entry "Conceived Sorrow", it means that I'm currently writing a new story using this journal. So you will see me posting parts of the story from now on until the end of the story. I will bring forward "Conceived Sorrow" two days later to commence the official posting of the story in my journal. This also means that I won't be posting anymore AISEP photos.

Looking back at all these AISEP photos, I would like to say that I'm glad I've created such splendid memories during my stay in Beijing eventhough it's only three days. Words can't really describe my feelings as I look over all these photos again and again. They're really nice people, REALLY! It has really been fun hanging out with everyone! I really enjoy myself alot! I'm really looking forward to see them again in the coming future if there is ever a chance!

Less but not least...




Regards,
Ryou Takehito

Ryou Takehito
