copyright goes to Gumi

ahhh. *cries* they are all 6 star, and I only have the 4 star form of each of them

I'm gonna spam play after chinese O levels, but gonna lay off a little this week.

and I don't care if some of these units are noob. just looking at the sprites I'm like omgwtfbbqallmywant.

update: I have 5* forms of Dia, Lilith, Rashil and Zephyr now ^^ and a 5* Ciara too

update 15/11/14: I have 6* Dia and Elza, as well as 5* Tree, Dilma, Rashil, Lilith, Zellha, Lunaris, Zephyr, Lilly Matah and Ciara

I'm also level 79 :) waiting for energy to go for a metal parade to become level 80

update after a relatively long time

soooo I've started playing Brave Frontier, which was the worst decision in my life.

chinese O levels is in a week or so and I'm just sitting around playing Brave Frontier.

I'm stupid, really.

STUPID.

STUD POTATO.

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

anyway, it's been really hot these few days. I'm sweating now as I write this (and I'm actually writing this over quite a while, about 15min).

I have a new obsession for pretzels.

I got my grades back btw, and they don't look good. my overall L1R5 is 10 :O and that's not good.

aiming for 6 next year :)

okay I gotta go bye

what I'm really scared of at the moment

I'm super terrified of mirrors, and I'm super terrified of the dark. so I'm super super terrified of mirrors in the dark.

I have to walk past 2 mirrors everyday to charge my phone. I charge it further away from my bed so I don't use it in the dark on my bed, which works very well because I'm freaking scared of walking past the mirrors to get to my phone.

today I was in the auditorium alone in the dark, and that was freaking terrifying as well. I used my phone's flash to look around, but it kept going off and basically ahh.

moving on

if you still don't know, I've been reading "Across the Universe" and "Earth Girl" simultaneously, and they are both sci-fi/dystopian type of books. both concepts are really great (quite high recommendation!), though I think Janet Edwards (author of Earth Girl) is a better writer than Beth Revis (author of Across the Universe). I just finished Earth Flight, the last book in Earth Girl. so yeah, this will really be my last update about these books. promise.

I'm sorry I've been rambling about these books so many times. (ooh but Tandem from the Many-Worlds trilogy is good too, gonna read the second book Tether soon when/if I find it)

to summarise, a lot of books are really good, and those you see everywhere, those really mainstream books? they're mostly overrated, imo. there are lots of other great books out there that deserve the recognition of THG or TFIOS, but just aren't. read a non-mainstream book today! :D (I have lots of recommendations, just scroll down and pick one)

good luck to people taking o levels :)

the new terrapin in the pond is absolutely the cutest thing I've ever seen. REALLY. it's ADORBS.
 











here's a picture of Rosyth's fitness corner, before it was replaced with the kiddy idk what. taken from Google Maps.

we used to play on the monkey bars every recess and do cool stunts with the inclined pull-up thing and play crocodile on the sit-ups thing and hang around on the pull-up thing. then when we got bored, we'd go "exploring", digging for treasure.

we managed to find about $5 in the auditorium :D

byebye now.

lynn.

yay

yay I adopted a sickly green wolf :D he's adorable and martian. and his name is Fian, like Fian in the earth girl trilogy. I really love the earth girl trilogy's whole idea. it's quite cool. (yes. I did have to talk about books). I like it more than across the universe's lol. I seem to be more and more into scifi.

anyway right

I promise to work harder next year. probably my second time promising this on my blog, but really. I promise I promise.

I left my jacket in school T^T I'm gonna freeze tmr morning

am tired, am sleep, am now

*will update until done*

mmhm

of course, if I make an update, it's definitely about books. correction: it's about a book.

Across the Universe by Beth Revis is by far the FLATTEST book I've read.

yeah you never thought you'd see the day I'd have a negative review on a book right?

but seriously.

content:
1. lack of depth
2. going no where
3. I forgot I'll fill this in if I remember unnecessary info

part 1: lack of depth

basically, it was so... nothing. just a huge bunch of descriptives without actual proper building up of the setting itself in one chunk (okay it sorta did, but it was so brief and immediately lapsed into some sort of reaction). I think throughout the whole book, it was still mentioning how the ship was oriented and what the people did. like, WHY don't you just tell me everything about it at the start? I mean, okay, 1st person POV, but seriously? why do I care about weird cows in the middle of the story? it makes me feel that the whole book was so unplanned. and it's also so white and black.

part 2: going no where

it doesn't make me feel like I care about any of the characters or ANYTHING in the entire book (except one person and he then goes on to kill himself, thanks). the plot does NOT captivate me at all. what was the main plot even? I don't want to know what happens next, because I'm pretty sure it won't make a difference to anything. the romance was unrealistic and so lightly touched on, it shouldn't even be there, it doesn't help anything. 1st person POV should give plenty of room for useful emotions to help the plot, but all the guy feels is... jealousy? (okay he gets angry at some points but really it didn't portray much) I don't understand.

part 3: unnecessary info

it was a crapton full of fillers and things that make me feel like the author was tryna meet some word quota and make the book thicker no matter what it took. who cares about Jason? who cares about Eldest trying to make Elder find the third cause of discord like 50 times? why didn't he just guess something? I couldn't even form my own opinions about what was happening in the book, all the characters' opinions were thrust at me to choose from. if the author was trying to write an expository essay, this would be good, but most of the book was so unnecessary. I would have had more fun trying to guess things in the book, but I was like "oh don't bother, it'll be revealed in 5 seco- oh there it is."

all in all, some parts of the book were good, like how the freezing took place (intro), which was quite captivating and exciting, and parts where I felt despair for the "250 years", but it wasn't the best dystopian scifi ever. okay, it was quite bad. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, but I have the sequel and I'll read it, just to see if it's better.

I'll do a real BLOG blog kinda update okay :/ maybe in the afternoon yeah?

-love, lynn-

Edit: hey, now I've got the blogger app on my phone, so I might be posting more! But the reviews on the play store say this app sucks, but I'm tired of using my browser (not that it's bad, I just like apps you know). And... I've finished reading A Million Suns, and I think it was better than Across the Universe. I'll read the third book (forgot what it's called tho) soon enough. And since I'm lazy to make a new post, here'll be my proper update :3

O level chinese is going to be on 4 nov, which is less than a month away, and I'm terrified. Not a little terrified, but a LOT terrified. I have to make a checklist:

1. Review terms saved in pleco.

2. Zonghetiankong

I'm scared of not passing so many subjects this year, especially a math. I'll have to really work hard next year I guess. I'll admit it, this year I did a lot of trying out of different and new hobbies and wasting time and not caring about my results (like the "development" part of a sonata) but next year, I'll be working my ass off to get good marks. I'll make this promise to myself. I won't let myself down.

Alright that's all, signing off for the second time,

Lynn

statistics

I've had this blog for a really really long time, and I just wanna put up something that I've never put up before.

4847 all time pageviews.

(most of them are probably my own pageviews heheheheheheh jkjk)

but from the start of this blog, I've never put a pageview counter on the blog itself. if anyone is reading this, tell me if I should or not :)

I haven't properly updated in a while lol

and this will not be a proper update bye.

lynn.

[on mobile] just a quick update

Exams are out and we got a long weekend. Yay.

So I went to the library and I borrowed 6 books. Amk library to be specific. And I finished one of them

Even though it wasn't the first book I read like that, the ending hit me so bad I wrote a review of it on goodreads. It's called The Bunker Diary btw. However, quite ridiculously, the other book (Dollhouse) that I've read that's like it, I rated a 1 star while this I rated a 5 star. I think a few factors affected this: 1. The style of writing, 2. Location (I was in class when I finished Dollhouse, at home when I finished The Bunker Diary) and 3. The duration of reading aka dragginess (I read Dollhouse over a few days as compared to TBD in a few hours)

Anyway, TBD is a single book but Dollhouse has like sequels and stuff (which I didn't realise) so the actual endings to both stories aren't the same. I'll try to find the sequels and maybe rate Dollhouse higher.

Good mornight -lynn
