Hello....I have been busy lately. Yeah, busy with my latest blog called 'Bed Time Stories' http://ff8yuna-bedtimestories.blogspot.com/ . It all started from " I bet you have watched Real Life Final Fantasy Play" but I have not. So Tenko gave a few links from YouTube related it. I laughed and we had a great time exchanging the links we found. This is one of the best, http://youtube.com/watch?v=wwLrgxtALWs . "I wish we can do one like that...what about you? You have UTHM and friends who may help you...." I said. Well, it is not about the venue but who else in UTHM are FF craze like Yuna? So, that is absolutely out the question and beside that, one requires a good video camera too. And so, we started our Real Life Final Fantasy Play a different way. We make up a story. We tell tales on whom we were, where we went, with whom we fight and things or weapons we brought along. We add some characters and goofiness. It was hilarious. A good play.

Thus, I thought "Why not put it in a blog?". And so.....the story goes....

Hope you enjoyed reading it.

Bed time story

“One man down! One man down! Medic! Medic!”

In my head, all I could think of is a play to keep me entertained whilst I am bed ridden down with high fever and flu-like symptom. My body aches. I’ve been spending so much time sleeping.

Captain Tenko pulled up his buddy who has been shot, out from the open. “Are you ok, Yunie? You don’t die on me or I’ll kick your bloody ass.” She wriggled into pain as he checked on the wound. Fresh dark blood oozed out from her upper right chest. “Morphine time!” I remembered the Power Rangers yelling out this for transformation (was I hallucinating?). I smiled though I felt jolted of pains as he stashed some with whatever stuff and some bandages to the open wound. “Can you walk?” he said “Hang on buddy!” I heard bombs and gun shots like every where. The jungle was thick with smokes and dampen lushes green. “Arrgh! You think after all the fights we had, the aliens, zombies, monster, big daddy..aargh!..you think I’d be resting?” Out of the blue, I saw a bright red figure with big yellow compound eyes staring at me. The head nodded complying with the Captain’s command. He muffled some words that I could not make out of. “Arrgh! Another buggie to kill for?” I was thinking. I was about to lift up my Bobcat weapon BW-5/FS 9mm Rifle to shoot “Yunie! It’s me la..Kamen Rider Kabuto! Hyper form! Kang aku bagi rider kick kang!” the red buggie voiced out. Then there was a loud bang and sulphuric vapour raised in the air choking me. As I cough more blood oozes out besides the pain was unbearable. Then it was black

I must have slept and has lost track of the play…huhuhu..I was thinking, I should said “ Naqi, you should have a better camouflage in the jungle”. I think a hand grenade blew up somewhere near us as we all ducked for cover. “Shinea!shinea!shinea!” Tenko was screaming. He wanted more blood, I think. It was not like him going berserk. Naqi, gave out his best shots and some deadly kicks towards the enemies at great speed. And I, this was my first gun shot wound, “Damn it! I have never been out of action before! Damn it!”

To be continued…on a new blog called “Bed time stories” in the making :D

Revisiting Ben

I thought of 'Ben' tonight.

So I went revisiting some old sites and links which related to Ben. Brought me back to those sweet old days where we used to be......(maybe I should leave a space here). It is just a space!

Some how I miss Ben...ya, I preferred the Ben I once knew. Those innocent days which bring lots of joy and laughter. Hahaha...I still remember when I dedicated this song to him http://youtube.com/watch?v=cwAmpn8ISV0 and he said "Hampeh"...a word which was so foreign to me and I got confused but I meant every word MJ sang in it 'You got a friend in me'.

Those days..filling the void of loneliness..and some how we have each other ...to move on, supporting each other, like I have no other friend but Ben. I was strong again and so was he. Until one day 'Yuna, don't call me Ben', an era of a different tone of friendship spiralling up and down, close and far and more confusion and less and less to none.

What's next? If only I could tell him "Ben! I shouldn't have stop calling you Ben" as it doesn't matter...yeah! when I thought about it...It doesn't matter at all. After all, we are still what we are and what we want and has never change still. Except there is silent which is deafening but whatever!

I'm a fighter!

“I am worried” I told him when my Ivalice was going to be under attack in 3 hours time. I couldn’t log into my Tribalwars account. The internet connection was slow but not Yahoo Messenger. I was already up at 5 am in the morning attending to this matter. The day before Tribe Teh Mex attacked Ivalice twice. I won the first round but not the second round. My troops…all gone and I had to recruits more troops getting ready for the next 4 waves of battle. The fights were just 10 minutes apart from each attack. “Yeah, me too!” he replied. His Ravager was and is still (as I am writing) being under siege. I don’t know what’s on his mind but I do know him well enough, hmm…being the coolest guy that I know, he may sound alarming and concerned just to make me feel good or perhaps in his exasperation, he seek my support too...whatever!

We feed each other on our opponents’ data. In order to defend, we discussed about some strategies. “You know what?” I said. “I think our name associate with the word ‘Ten’ seems to be inviting the giants to make war with us”. We laughed at my silly statement but then he changed his original fort name to Ravager. I was surprised! Wow, did he take it seriously? But whatever!

In the end of my fights, I loss but my fort was not noble by the Teh Mex. Thank god! That was a good news too. I have time to build back whatever was ruined and level up my enforcement. “ Don’t you ever back off! ” I told him. “ Yeah, We fight! ” he replied. “ Yeah, we fight! fight! fight! ” I encouraged. “ I’m a fighter! I have never back off ” I reminded him. I think he knows that and also giving him full support on our Tribe in Tribalwars.

Operation Gundam Exia

I bet they were laughing away when they bought the Gundam Exia 1/44 scale model.
Perhaps they were thinking; “Lets see if Yuna can put these together! (hahahaha)”
Yes, I was surprised too. The first word that came out from my mouth when uncovered the package was ‘My goodness!’ then I was LOL! Wish they were here to hug them and pinched their cheeks till red! Ouch? Yeah…as much ‘OUCH-cies’ I could give. But guys, you underestimate Yuna Braska! I think la..huhuhu…. You are challenging my skills and intelligence…yeah really!

Assemble part 1 – It was a smooth operation. It took me just below 20 minutes to complete that part. Snapped the finished product and send it to Naqi. “Why not completed it in one day?” he persuaded. Heheh…I am taking my own sweet time la…and enjoying it day by day.

Assemble part 2 (next day) – Oh dear, I was ready at full steam. My goodness! Those parts were so tiny to put together. I fumbled and tried to get it fixed. Hey…its teeny-weeny-tiny whatever parts! Geez! “Yunie, good luck with your Gundam..hehehehe..” Tenko was delighted. God! I wondered if I can get through this today. Oh man! But guys...heheheh..I got a help from a new-guy-in-the block today. Seeing me frowning, he offered his assistance (blushing already). Hahaha..and it finally took shape of the Head! Thanks, Iskandar…(ahem!).

Assemble part 3 until 9 - Well, was engrossed with it. Time flies…but who cares…I make the rules. To be continue tomorrow! Wuhoo!

p.s. Thanks Naqi and Tenko, you guys really know how to keep me entertained. YM, MMS, SMS and Tribalwars….Love ya! Apa lagi yek? Oh ya..Fantasy Real Play..hahaha...

Tired

I am just tired!

Since the eve of new year, I am at no peace.
Infact since 22 December until now, I have been attending to some personal matters...moving up and down, some sleepless night and boy...am I tired.
Been trying to catch some sleep...man, I need a good sleep. But I am not at peace.
I close my tired eyes but never in a slumber. I could hear the surrounding though my mind was trying hard to cave in, into a dream.
I toss and turn, pulled my comforter further up to my chest. Boy, I guess I am not at peace. I feel hollow. My eyes were staring at the ceiling...the wall...and the surrounding. I am looking into space....Have you ever been like this? Like you don't know what are you looking at...you don't know what are you going to do next...you can't think...in fact, there is nothing to think about...and I am damn tired.

Oh, Help me make it through the night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45-6duFvfuI
ZZzzzzZZzzzzzZZzzz please....

Just 'Yuna'

Thanks to ALL for the birthday and New Year wishes! I am touched!

As usual, Naqi, was the first person to say it... on the dot of 31 December and 1 January, though he was damn busy with his assignment. "Actually Naqi, Tenko beat you at it as he said it in advance 3 days ago...hahahaha...!"

But here is a poem made by my dear friend, Anand. I am sharing it with you.

Cute Yuna

She is simple, silent and very cute;

So feminine but always with a gamer's boot.

Her excitement says it all,

She conquers and conquers them all.

Her beautiful face has soothing charm,

She has abudant happiness in her emotional 'farm'.

Her ambitions distend far and wide;

She surfs brilliantly through the 'life' tide.

An intelligent advisor she is,

Talk to her - you'll feel bliss.

She ripped through the tough times with ease;

She'll attain success without any 'grease'.

She laughs her way - spreading love,

Peaceful and lovely like the dove.

Her words resemble a runa;

Long live pretty friend YUNA.

by Anand Bora

Thanks, Anand from the bottom of my heart. I'm honoured.

I think you put too much cream on the top of the ice-cream. :) hahahaha....

Yes, I like it my dear friend

That I cannot pretend

Thank you very muchy

It is very touchy!

(heheh..mere shayer to nahe!)

Seize the Day

Year 2008 is just around the corner...I'm sure majority people are looking forward for the new year party bash.

Everyone on the street and at home cheering up..and there will be awesome fireworks at most major cities in the world. Hmmm....if I were a cosmonaut...I wonder.. what do I see on the eve of new year's celebration from space?

I feel the wind of change is blowing in my face. Yes, I am moving forward but approaching a different angle...This is not about 2008 resolution..it is about some plans I have laid out for the year 2008. Wish me luck k!

To some pit stops I make this year especially;

1. GG...thank you for letting me into your world. You changed me a lot. From zero to...no..I'm not a hero...I learn a lot from you. Love working with you. I remembered the first time we got to know each other..it all started with Cakapgold and our story line was ..'the moral of the story..". I wish you all the best in your future undertakings.

8. Fareeq Yong...my newest online friend. We share of the same interest..that's the fun part...yes, I love to play war games...there is a story behind all these hehehe...too bad I didn't get to know you sooner. It could be a different battlefield..but you are so much of neo nazi and I was the american 'Medal of Honor' hahahaha...it could be fun to fight! fight! fight!

And last but not least, to my favourite guys! I love them so muchy! I could just hug them if I could...they bring me joy when I am in pain. A 'happening' lots! So much so...I gave and gave and gave...we share so much in 'whatever'! They make me laugh right from the very beginning of our friendship...something I cannot explain. "Hey! you got the best of me la..!"

1. Naqi - Mr Kamen Rider! A strong headed person but a very kind hearted guy. An individuality! To be the first of anything! To get the best of whatever! An attention grabber. A supporter. Understanding. Energetic. Comical. Funny. Happy. In short..he is the sun!

(p.s. Aini, you are a very lucky gal! Let the sunshine set on you!)

2. Tenko - Mr Nice guy! Hmm...mysterious (to me, now no more huhuhu). Cold blooded and hot blooded animal (what? hahahaha..). Romantic in his own way ( I think someone don't agree and is laughing already..hahahaha..ceh!). Understanding. An advisor. A Gamer. The 'General'. My guitar man aka Steve Vai. Modest. Smarty pants. Padawan chef. Parit Raja's Sleeping Beauty. The coolest guy on the planet! In short ..he is the moon.

(p.s. have you ever get caught on a moon beam? not on this planet! you have to enter his time zone)

You guys really rock! I really have good time with you. Lets rock the house! Especially on Tribalwars! May W.E. be with you.

Dedicated to all; http://youtube.com/watch?v=ss6pepd3XuY

Thanks to all!

No regrets

Away from home...somewhere ...far away...

I opened my eyes...staring at the sea...the waves...the sound of the ocean... the soft glow of the morning dusk greets me...so calm. Somehow I thought of things I went through..my laughter, my happiness, my sorrow, my sorriness and my peace. I've been thinking and thinking..a lot! so much so I want to leave behind the scar that runs deep in me. I keep holding on..but oh come on..everyone knows..if a person care so much, he/she just don't disappear like that. They won't even make you sad or cry.....so? (you already got your answer, my lady)

"History repeats itself" that's what I told him. The fear in me was so great, it pulls me under...no matter how much he tried to convince that things would be different this time. Then, there was this http://youtube.com/watch?v=ePyRrb2-fzs . My eyes fixed! I listened to it. Is it too late to apologize? ( I let you think about it this time)

Then I remembered, Ocean love, http://youtube.com/watch?v=w6k-DqdDNnA I was more at ease...I close my eyes and listen to the waves..tears slowly flow down my cheeks...my protection..my visions...all in my head...trying to reach out whatever...that is close enough..my ocean size love...(leaving behind my foot prints in the sand...)

No regrets...http://youtube.com/watch?v=JQpMksYNXtg So I softly slip away...

Burning midnight oil

I stayed up almost everynight. I usually spend my time at Tribalwars. To those who are familiar with this MMORPG online game may be wondering ...why on earth Yuna is spending so much time there when she can set and just leave. Well..I am not alone. At times I discuss with the General and also other members that need my help and advises. I have my missions and strategies and plan to keep it that way. Almost everyone put their effort to make our Tribe among the best and the giants. Beside, that is my fun time!

And of course, been spending some time chatting with my favourite guy until dawn. Never once a boring hour. "Are you sleepy?" I'd ask if it pass 4:00 am. We could go on and on and on. "Yuna, it is already 5:30am la.." he told me today...My goodness..time flies! I wished it was off day today so that I could catch my sleep. Yet..we still continued to stretch a few more minutes before saying "Good morning and sweet dreams"

We usually close the chapter of our day with our Final Fantasy play

Me: Ok, I'll be seeing you in a short while. You left your crow bar the other day (Half-life)

Him: Don't forget to bring your gun slinger (FF X-2). I'm using my silver baller (Hitman)

Me: The zombies could recognise you from far. Your baldness shine....wear a wig!

Him: I don't need a wig. I got a barcode to show-off! You better watch out when I go berzerk and trigger happy

Me: You think I don't have a cool move?

Him: Also, make sure you don't friendly fire me!

Me: Though Nemises (Resident Evil 3) is bald but you are much better looking! hahaha..

(so I won't be shooting you)

Oh man...we could go on playing like this ..but somewhere along the line..we know we must stop to rest....and continue our next episode...our next chat...whatever and whenever! :D

Use your imagination

I dreaded myself to the kitchen today. Didn't know what to cook. What's the menu? I took out a pomfret fish and decided a simple dish would do. While waiting the fish to defrost, I defrost myself..hahahaha...meaning, I decided to take a nap. Imagined I was shopping at Midvalley and soon I was Zzzzzz....

Again, imagining I had my own TV show on 'Cooking made Simple'. Giving some cooking skills and tips. I was guiding and explaining huhuhuhuhu....(Hey! there was a camera in front of me! and I was like Martha Steward) Geez! give me a break! Anyway, my imagination kept me going and moving. Thus my time in the kitchen was not dreaded one after all. :D

Back in my room, I was thinking about my blogs. I haven't been touching for awhile. I somehow remembered that morning he was telling me about those days he played for his band "Red Letter Day'. They played 'Reptilia' (The Strokes), his favourite song. Then I wrote " Tell us a story I know you're not boring". We laughed. It was wee hours in the morning and there was never a boring hour that kept us going on and on. So I went to YouTube and searched for 'Reptilia'. No..I wasn't looking at cute Julian..I was looking at those fingers strumming the guitar. Makes me to imagine, him playing his Ibanez for the Red Letter Day. I listen carefully at all the notes and strokes he had to strummed. Waaa...that was cool...Take a lookie!http://youtube.com/watch?v=RM2Ssne97ek .

Yeah..use your imagination! It keeps you going day after day! :D

Misheard lyrics

I was about to call in and I thought I give him a goodnight song from YouTube. It has been awhile we haven't exchange dedication songs. "Hey, what are you up to?" he asked when there was no respond from me. I just wanted to surprise him and didn't want him to know. "Ow, I am at YouTube..I forgot the name of the band I'm looking for". I was looking for 'Helena' by My Chemical Romance with FF video clip in it but I came across this "Hey, take a lookie!" http://youtube.com/watch?v=yy7uyxDNNt0 . Here is another one http://youtube.com/watch?v=1SUseESkinc We were LOL!!Hahahahaha...

Well..just for your enjoyment...a tribute to My Chemical Romance on misheard lyrics.
(FYI, MCR will be perfoming in Kuala Lumpur, 9 December 2007...oh hello..Gerard Way...you're so HOT! Love you!)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ysZRb0uyQ4w

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CAj4uVATq_s

http://youtube.com/watch?v=F_A9dqDH_6g

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kqYGM3X5rCk

Hahahahaha....My Chemical Romance! You ROCK!

(Oh, excuse me...I forgot about this at the end of the night, http://youtube.com/watch?v=95t6XH2o49M Goodnight!)

Cool dude

I am a very patient person. I keep my cool though my hair is on fire...hahahaha. I'm able to put on a straight face pretending it doesn't hurt. But once it reach the limit, I feel like running as far as I could. Like Tidus in FF10..disappear in thin air..non existence.

My good friend advised me to just ignore any unpleasant situation and put on a smile. About him, hmm...he is the coolest person that I know. Cooler than me. " It is not about 'I-don't give-a-damn' but 'I-don't-want-your-shit' thingy. He said; "Pretend like nothing happened and treat them as usual. If they still continue, just let them be and put on a smile."

So I am learning from him...I want to break free and thus no one will question my integrity and my sincerity. Then he said; "Hmm.. yaa..but please..don't la...be yourself but if you can forget it, it's ok la..but don't keep it in your heart". There are memories best left to forget, so you can move on. There are words best left unsaid, nobody is hurt. There are things best left untouched, you leave in peace. There are dreams best not no one knew, so you can dream on and reach your goals.....

(All the things you said... running through my head...I can try to pretend, I can try to forget but it's driving me mad, going out of my head http://youtube.com/watch?v=YKt6wZwW050 )

Dream to sleep

"Say Hi to Yuna k" he said before we bid goodnight. Hahahaha...don't get confused. I have a lullaby pillow which is round, one side is blue and other is green. It is named after Yuna, the female protagonist in both Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 games who also consequently has heterochromatic irises: one blue and one green. Cute idea isn't it? He was surprised when he got to know about it. "You are too much!" he added.

Before that, we were discussing about dreams. "Do you usually have a bad or good dream?" he asked. "Hmm..good one!" for I usually think of good things before putting myself to sleep. He said he hasn't been dreaming for such a long time and if it does, it is usually a bad dream. A frightening one. "Lets not talk about this will ya!". Yeah..I guess it is kind of spooky if one is alone and away from home at such late hour. Best not to think about eerie atmosphere. "OK, lets talk about good things before we bid goodnight". So we jokes for a while.

To which;

Y: So think about nice things, what you like to do in your dream?

Him: How about killing zombies?

Y: Really? You need my help?

Him: Yeah! OK! I see you there.

Y: I'll be bringing my shotgun and machine gun

Him: Hey! I want the shotgun. You take the Uzi

Y: No way..why can't u bring the bazooka..

Him: ok ok I'll bring along my machete and knife...

Bla..bla..bla..bla..bla..bla..

Almost every night, "I'll meet you there thingy" and "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Last night I SMS-ed "Agent 47 is coming with us, so goodnight!" :D

Not in the mood

Typed 'whatever' in the YouTube search box. Not in the mood actually. Just passing my night time until I think of something...an idea. I go online a couple of times in a day just to check on Tribalwars. Yes, our tribe is doing fairly well indeed. Our next target is, rank 100 in World 7. Hahahaha..Tenko love the idea though we have a long way to go. "Whatever k..Whatever!" :D http://youtube.com/watch?v=6tuPBrSl9Nw

Somehow I felt like we are one big family in World 7. Discussing strategies, things we need to do to level up and seeking advises from the peers. And sometimes, I think we are nuts! Obviously we are still at the infant stage on the battle ground but hey! we met our missions. Though there is no short cuts to be the best in Tribalwars. "We are out numbered among the giants!" Tenko once said "They are more organised compare with us" But I never gave up! I once fought till the last drop with the 3 giants who conquered my fort. There goes my Balamb Garden...she's my precious and I have never turned my back, not even once.

So besides posting my blog, checking the forum, Tribalwars, surfing, chatting and whatever...I am still wondering, what other fun that are offered on the Internet? Perhaps I'm not in the mood today...Oh man....(sorry guys!) :p http://youtube.com/watch?v=r0D9m4TecCA
