Hey all.
It's 1.38 AM now. I know it's only been two days but I'm a little bored and just felt like writing a journal. Yesterday (22nd December) I spend almost the whole day with my parents. It was really tiring. I guess it's alright since they're going to leave Malaysia on 24th Dec.
Just now I was playing against an online Web Shogi game called "Ham Shogi". I knew I couldn't beat hirate (even number of pieces) so I've decided to try my luck playing against handicapped opponent. I'm really glad that I've learned a little eventhough I'm playing against handicapped opponent. To be honest, I hate playing Shogi on the internet. Why? First it's rather hard to concentrate with the board facing flat against your eyes. It's view is completely different from the view when you're playing a real Shogi. Sometimes I accidentally made a mistake about my bishop move so I have to looked at the board more than three times before making a move on my bishop so I wouldn't 'pin' or 'fork' on the wrong piece. It's really annoying when you actually pin or fork on the wrong piece and the game immediately turn the table. Other thing is the computer screen is hurting my eyes and everyone should know that staring at the computer too long will hurt your eyes. My hands are itching to touch my Shogi sets right now. I really want to turn on the lights and start touching my Shogi pieces. But I can't. If I did not pretend to be fast asleep my parents would immediately bust into my room and kick my butt. I really want to spend the whole night learning and playing Shogi, I truly am. So that was why I was stuck using my laptop playing Shogi instead. "It's alright" I said to myself, It's going be another two more days till they leave Malaysia. I have to wait patiently. I hope three days will go by quickly so I return to the days where I can play Shogi the whole night without worrying people scolding me for being too noisy or staying up too late. 2.00 AM now. I guess I'll go play some Shogi checking problems before I sleep.
Goodnight all.

Back Back BACK!
hey all.
Many things have happened alot during this holiday so let's have a report about what I have done, shall we?
My days in Brunei:
1. Rewatch all Weiß kreuz episodes throughout the night.
2. Doing something confidential.
3. Look for old friends and have some personal time together.
4. Play Shogi with little sister.
5. Get nagged by parents. >.<
My days in Singapore:
Day 1: I reached Singapore around 1p.m. and stayed in a hotel called "Furama Hotel". After that I tried my luck in finding Shogi equipments in People's Park and OG which is nearby. I even went to Borders to look for it but failed.
Day 2: Have breakfast in People's Park and went to Takashimaya and tried my luck again in Kinokuniya but couldn't find any. Mission Failed. After that I went to Orchad Road and look for some CDs. "Get Gil Shaham's Devil Dance CD!"
Day 3: Left Singapore with a sigh because I failed to find anything related to Shogi.
Plans for the rest of the holiday:
Play Shogi of course! I didn't get to play Shogi as much as I can because my parents are actually against me playing Shogi! I don't see anything wrong with playing Shogi! I didn't get to practise as much as I can so I have decide to spend more time in it when they leave Malaysia. Then I would probably spend a little time watching movies to relax myself.
Mission in Singapore: to look for a "Shogi magnetic set" so I can play without worrying my shogi pieces get lost and "Wooden Shogi Sets" to have a proper set to play with and some Shogi books so I can learn.
Mission Status: FAILED. Couldn't find any of those items in Singapore.
Sigh. It was really depressing. I can't believe Singapore don't have them! I managed to find some Shogi books but they're only available in Japanese! AND THEY WERE WRITTEN BY HABU-SAN TOO!!! I wish they would publish more English-translated Habu-san's books. Sigh. Since I can't find them in Singapore, I guess I have to switch to an alternative way of getting them - online purchase. Online purchase is really expensive for me and it takes time for them to arrive but what choice do I have? I'm going to get a proper Shogi set first from online and later when I save up enough money I'll try to purchase other products if I can.
Since my parents are here that means less time for me to spend my time with my laptop. Right now I'm planning to rewrite Night Assassins and if not I'll work on the second chapter of FInal Heaven X. As for the murder story I'm still working my ass on it! Expect my next story to be out probably on next month.
See you all next week.

Work Harder!
Hey all!
Freedom at last! Actually I didn't expect to be free again because I thought my schedule was full until I leave Brunei but things went smooth and end early. However I won't be SUPER free like I am back in Malaysia because of my nagging parents.
Today's 10th Dec, that means four days left till I leave Brunei! Woohoo! I really miss Malaysia alot because the life in Malaysia is a whole lot different in Brunei. In Brunei people (even teenagers) are sort of old-fashioned and all the shops close at around 9pm. Transportation is really inconvenient and I have to drive at least one hour to the city just to watch a movie. Brunei's just a boring country with no night life. Yes, that means no Karaoke, no Pubs, no FUN FUN FUN during the night. If you're going to visit Brunei for a week you'll probably want to go leave this place after two days of your visit, unless you're a scenery-lover. In Malaysia, there's night life, 24-hr restaurants and shops. Transportations are super convenient and bla bla bla. There's just too many good things to say about my life in Malaysia. However the only good thing I like about Brunei is the beautiful scenery. To be honest, I really miss it alot.
Now that I'm free, I would probably spend some time with my friends and if not I will be learning Shogi at home as usual. I haven't play Shogi in an internet Shogi website called "Shogi Club 24" (http://www.shogidojo.com/eng/engindex.htm) for a few months because I'm scared that I will get beaten out of crap against lowest rank players (15kyu), I decided to give myself a try again and see how much I've improve. After a game with a player, I lost again. However I'm quite happy that I've improve my techniques a little. Last time my opponents finished me off in less than 20 moves but now the game last for more than 50 moves and 20 minutes! I won't be visiting "Shogi Club 24" again until I've studied more with my "Art of Shogi" but I will visit it once in a while. The main reason why I haven't visit the site for such a long time is because I'm scared that my defeat will make me lose my interest in Shogi. However, after playing the game, I feel that I need to improve more. I definitely need to work harder than before if I want to become a professional. WORK HARDER RYOU! YOU CAN DO IT! DON'T GIVE UP HOPE FOR YOUR DREAMS! KAMBATTE!
Anyways see you all next time!

My Dreams
Aim: To become a 1-Dan Shogi player in less than a year and 6-Dan in less than 10 years.
Mission: To promote Shogi and let people know that Shogi is different and unique from other chess in Malaysia and Brunei after becoming a 1-Dan Shogi player.
See you all next week.
Regards,
Ryou Takehito
PS: I just noticed how Shogi has improve my skills in Xian Qi (Chinese Chess) considering that I'm very terrible in it. Now, I can almost defeat my friend in a game of Xian Qi.

Back in my hometown
Hey all!
I'm finally back in my hometown and all I can say is there's not enough time for me to look for my friends and play shogi! I can't believe my parents have plan my schedule for something else while I'm staying in my hometown.
The happy thing is it's great that I get to see my old hometown the way it is. The scenery is so fantastic that I really miss it alot. Aside from that, I've manage to convince my little sister to play Shogi. Almost day and night we're playing Shogi together using a small little table. She always lose to me, given the fact that she's very good in Chinese Chess (Xian Qi). This further proves that Shogi is not an easy chess to play. I even notice that I can beat my little sister with a Rook handicap. I'm really glad the night that I have spend reading "Art of Shogi" has made me improve my concentration and skills a little. Sad thing is most of the time I can't beat Shogi AI. I think I'll probably improve a whole lot more if I can master all the Joseki (opening). Another sad thing is my dad doesn't like me to play Shogi. I mean what kind of father he is? Shogi is a healty hobby game so why should he be against it? But I have made up my mind. If he's going to stop me from playing Shogi, I will definitely run away from home.I won't let him take away my interest any longer. He doesn't know how hard it is for me to find something that I actually love doing it. I guess being a parent would always want their kids to "study study study" only. I mean you can't expect me to spend my free time studying too, right? Sometimes I really envy the lucky kids out there. They get to enjoy doing the stuffs they like during their free time and as for mine my dad nags me to study. No, I'm not weak in my studies. I'm actually doing very well in it and I just don't understand why I have to work SUPER hard to study. Nevertheless I will not give up on Shogi. I hope to achieve at least 1-Dan in a year and 6-Dan in 10 years time.
Ten more days till I'm flying to Singapore. I'm really looking forward to look for Shogi sets and books there. If they don't have it I guess I'll have to purchase it online again. Aside from these I did not work on my stories since I was busy. I'll probably start writing again when I'm back in Malaysia around 21st December. Hope you all have fun during this christmas season!
Regards,
Ryou Takehito
PS: If you have a friendster account, staying in either Brunei, Malaysia or Singapore and loves playing Shogi you can join the group that I have created: http://www.friendster.com/group/tabmain.php?gid=1026619 Since the number of Shogi players is relatively small in these countries so I have decide to create a group for us to gather together and have some games in the internet some time.

It's Holiday Time!
Hey all! Ryou here!
My exam on last Friday was really horrible. I didn't expect an easy paper to be tough! Now that the exams over, it's holiday time! I am so glad that my exams over! It means more time for me to study Shogi! ^_^V
I have been studying Shogi from 11pm to 7am for the past few days. From reading "Art of Shogi" to watching online replays to solve problems. I'm really excited that I can spend a lot of my free time just to play Shogi.
I will be returning back to my hometown this Saturday and I probably don't have time to online or play Shogi or write stories. This really makes me feel sad alot. =( However I will be going to Singapore on the 14th Dec and I hope I could find any Shogi sets (ones with wooden board and wooden or plastic pieces) and some Shogi books. If I can't find any of those, I will probably have to spend a lot of money and wait for another two months just for them to arrive if I purchase it online. =/
About the story Goshogi, it seems that I have a lot of negative feedbacks from some friends so I have decided to edit it. I have already published the story on the site but I'll probably receive negative comments from you all. At the mean time, I'm trying to edit the story, think of some ideas for Final Heaven X and also for the murder story.
Enough talk from me. It's time for me to go back and study Shogi. =P Hope you guys have fun during the holiday season!

OH MY SHOGI GOD!
Hey all!
I know it's only been less than a day but when I woke up this morning I was surprised to find a professional shogi player named 'tadokori' comment on my last journal. I knew I was familiar with this name until I realised he was a kishi (professional shogi player) who had played against another player called Archon during November 2004 with a 6-piece handicapped http://www.shogi.net/ISC/Katsuta2/04Nov_monthlygame/ArchonvsTako.htm Yes, I know most of you probably don't know how to play Shogi but if you watch that replay it'll make you go "Oh my god!" That replay has actually inspired me to keep on playing to become a professional shogi player.
It has started a few months ago when my friend had asked me to bring him to Japan Club Kuala Lumpur (a Japanese Association) in Malaysia so he can played with the Go-players there. I agreed because I had a little interest in Go and I was trying to be generous to my new college friend. Being a 1-Dan Go-player he was quite happy to meet strong players there since it's hard to find players as strong as he is around his area (except for the internet). That's when part of my life has changed. I saw a few Japanese old men playing Shogi right in front of my eyes! There aren't that many Shogi players because it was suppose to be a Go-Club afterall. Feeling interested I take a look at how they played. Not understanding how Shogi is played, that night I went back home and start researching and mastering the basic moves of the pieces. Then finally I download a Shogi program and practise on it.
Since both my friend and I were going back to Japan Club during the next weekend, I have decided to challenge one of the old men a game of Shogi. It was very awkward to play with the Japanese man since I couldn't speak Japanese and I only played Shogi for less than a week. Weird thing is the old man didn't handicapped himself eventhough he knew I was a beginner, which in the end I lost in the game twice badly. But I was satisfied about my first game with him since it lasted longer when I have used "Kin Yagura" in the game. After losing the game, I have decided to improve my skills further so one day I can go back there and defeat him. That's how my "true" love for Shogi has begin.
Knowing that it's hard for me to defeat a Shogi player who is way stronger than me, I try to test my skills by challenging 15 kyu players (lowest rank) in Shogi Club 24 (a site where you can play online Shogi). Again I got beaten badly by them, eventhough they're 15-kyu players! I realised that Shogi is nothing like Chess nor Xianqi. You can't just simply play and hoped to improve - you have to actually study them! So feeling desperate I began searching the net for some strategies and tips but the sad thing is Shogi is not popular in the world and I couldn't find that many sites about Shogi. As time passes my interest in Shogi grew so much that I have decided to be a professional Shogi player and hope to promote Shogi in Southeast Asia since it was unpopular.
Less but not least, Shogi FTW. I really do hope my love for Shogi will still go on for the next 50 years... or forever!
I think most of you have probably gotten bored of me talking about Shogi. Lol. As for Goshogi the editor is still working on it and I would like to say good job to the editor because my story has somewhat irritate him due to my lousy English. lol. Like I have mention in the previous journal the story will be out before the end of this week and I'm thinking of writing another one next month when I get back to my hometown.
Hope you guys have a good time this week. Bye!

Ryou Takehito
Relaxing... for the time being
Hey all!
I'm glad to say that I'm already done writing "Goshogi" first chapter and the editor currently taking his time editting it. Expect the story to be out by the end of this week. If not, I'll definitely screw the editor's head. =)
Actually I've completed the story on Sunday afternoon and I was glad I've finally have some free time for myself. I've been actually learning Shogi throughout the night for more than 9 hours! How insane could I get? Eventhough I have more free time my last exam is on this Friday so I have to start revising my work on Wednesday night. After Friday I can fully concentrate writing either Final Heaven X, Goshogi or the murder story.
Well, I got nothing else to report so see you guys next time!

However I will be having my last easy paper this coming friday so I'm actually having a lot of free time right now.
I'm happy to say that I just receive a copy of a shogi strategy book called "Art of Shogi" last Monday and man oh man I'm so FREAKING HAPPY! I was actually spending the whole night learning until 5am!
Alright, there's nothing left to report. It's time for me to go back work so see ya guys next week!

Back to work, back to work.
Hey all.
I just came back watching a movie alone. Wait! Before you start screaming my head off saying why I am slacking off well let's just say I'm watching the movie for the sake of research.
Right now I'm so freaking bored. Actually I already started my study break for my final exams, which is next week and well I have been doing some plannings, research and the one I spend most of my time on is learning Shogi. After watching the anime "Shion no Oh", I have been indulging myself into mastering Shogi. Yea yea yea I AM a Shogi and Weiß kreuz freak. You can't blame me for my passion, right?
Well, since I'm so bored, I am now (and I mean NOW) working on this month's story. Yes, probably the second chapter for Final Heaven X or probably a new love series. Let's see how my mood leads me. *chuckles*
Right. Work. Work. See ya guys in the next journal!

Story Report No. 1
Ryou here.
Hey, I know it's been a long time since I last posted a journal but I swear to god I have been working on th story! So thus this journal is named 'Story Report No.1'. I will be making daily reports (hopefully) about the story that I'm writing if you remember in the past that I said I will be taking at most (or at least) six months to write it.
Now for the report. I've managed to plan out the basic concept of the story and made a few chars. I've finished planning the basic ideas for two of the characters and now working on it. At the mean time I'm also trying to create more characters. The document has been temporary named as 'crime scene L' for no valid reasons and will look forward to provide a more wicked and cool title for the story. For the format of writing I have decided to make the background black and use red 'Chiiler' fonts for the text. However I'm still thinking whether I should change it to either white or 'Times New Roman' fonts. Lastly I'm still doing more researchs on a particular occult to make the story ,more deep and mysterious.
Aside from writing those, I'm also currently writing the second chapter for Final Heaven X. Expect the story to be done before November 23 or before 1st December because both the editor and I are currently busy with our year-end exams.
As for the report about my life, I got sick again, busy with stories and exams and bla bla bla. I will try to publish all Haz1's stories whenever I can. Anyways I'm looking forward to see you guys reading Final Heaven X's second chapter. Cya!

Gomenasai!
Sorry all!
I know I didn't update my journal last week. This is because I've been busy with my music asssignments. It had been very stressful and hectic but thank god we got everything presented today. Though I'm more relax now without too many homeworks and assignments I have to worry bout the upcoming Basic Accounting exam. Nevertheless I'm more free than last week.
I'm currently working on a 'Shogi' and 'Weiß kreuz' presentation just for own interest but fret not, I will still be working on my story. Since I'm more free now I'll probably publish all Haz1's stories by the end of this week. I'm very ashamed of myself for not letting everyone know that Haz1 is actually a member of Dream Sanctuary. My bad.
I'm soooooo glad that I receive my allowance for this month! I thought I was going to spend my days without food! I'm really glad it came on time.
Right, I'm very tired right now (just finished presenting my assignment) so I won't be talking much. See you all on the next journal!

I know I didn't update my journal last week. This is because I've been busy with my music asssignments. It had been very stressful and hectic but thank god we got everything presented today. Though I'm more relax now without too many homeworks and assignments I have to worry bout the upcoming Basic Accounting exam. Nevertheless I'm more free than last week.
I'm currently working on a 'Shogi' and 'Weiß kreuz' presentation just for own interest but fret not, I will still be working on my story. Since I'm more free now I'll probably publish all Haz1's stories by the end of this week. I'm very ashamed of myself for not letting everyone know that Haz1 is actually a member of Dream Sanctuary. My bad.
I'm soooooo glad that I receive my allowance for this month! I thought I was going to spend my days without food! I'm really glad it came on time.
Right, I'm very tired right now (just finished presenting my assignment) so I won't be talking much. See you all on the next journal!

A lousy week
Hey! Ryou here!
This week has been rather a lousy week for me. I've been in a bad mood because of various stuffs like my assignment and other minor stuffs. However right now I'm a little cheer up thanks to my friends and songs. Aside from those, it's been a little hectic for me. Doing accounting assigments, making songs for my building materials assignment, doing research and so on. The worst thing is I'm having my mid-term exams tomorrow! OH MY GOD! I have to actually memorise my notes to prepare myself for the exam and do you know how much I hate memorising?
To keep myself more hectic, I've decided to make a presentation out of my favourite hobby - shogi. In case you don't know what's a shogi here's a link for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi . That's right, I love to play shogi but unfortunately I'm still a beginner. I've made an order for a book last month unfortunately the company cancel the order due to item lost. *Sigh* I guess I have to wait another month for my new purchase of "The Art of Shogi" to arrive.
The weird thing about this week for me is I have to actually spend six dollars a day! I'm sooooo broke for this month! =.=|||| Worst still, each meal costs about more than ten dollars and it's not even enough for me to have a satisfying meal! So I have been ordering either noodles or fried rice for my meal. I don't even dare to drive out alot because of fuel consumption. I thought I was gonna get stuck at college just because I almost ran out of car fuel. And you know what? Now I don't even have a dollar in my wallet! Looks like tomorrow I'll be eating dust and sand. lol.
Okay, enough talk about my life. Currently I'm thinking of editting the story "Forbidden Fruit" or write the second chapter for "Final Heaven X". Sad thing is my research for the next story aren't going so well which made me feel a little depressed. Nevertheless I hope you all have a great weekend like I did.

Another Story Done!
Hey hey hey all!
Remember I said that last sunday or monday I'll finish up my story? Actually I did complete my story last monday but it's taking a long time for the editor to edit the story. Right now we're trying to finalise the story and after I add in a little bit more stuffs I'll publish the story! Editting jobs could be hard, you know. Though it might have taken me a few days to write the story, it actually took more than three hours for the editor to edit it. I didn't know editting work is tough. hahahaha.
Right, since I've completed the story and as I have stated in the last journal, that means it's going to be a long hiatus for me. No, I'm not going to slack off! While waiting for the last story to be edit, I've did a few research for my next story, which could be quite troublesome to plan. I guess the only hint now I can give to you guys bout my next story is 'One of the demon's signature is a cross'. But I think it should be totally unrelated to my next story. Well, I dunno. Really need to work out the next story as soon as possible!
And oh gosh, exams coming! I never knew it'll come this quick! I thought I have more time on my sleeves to write stories! Looks like it's study time for me. *cries* Few days ago, I almost couldn't sleep until I forced myself too. The main reason why I couldn't sleep is because I was listening to Weiß kreuz songs. I'm too addicted (like addicted to caffeine) that I couldn't bear to leave the songs but I managed to convince myself to sleep to prepare for lessons that day. It have never occur to me before that I'm way too addicted. But thanks to them I've managed to come up with more ideas for my other stories.
Alright, until next week! Bye!

A long hiatus?
Heya all!
Think I'm not going to post this week's journal, huh? Did you? Hahaha.
Too bad this week I fell sick, so I couldn't do any plannings for the stories. Even now I can feel my head's a little dizzy. I spend most of my time sleeping at home, trying to clear the high fever and headace from me. I don't have a habit of taking medicine when I'm sick, unless it's too much for me. So it took more time for me to recover from sickness since I don't take a single medicine or pill.
Now that I'm much better, I'm still working on the story. To be honest, another story. You can say that I have a bad habit of changing my mind writing other stories when I promise to write a certain story. Anyways expect the story be to done by either tonight, or tomorrow.
Now a sad news for everyone. I will be on a long hiatus from my story writing because I need a lot of time to plan out a perfect plot for my next story, which may take months to accomplish. However I will still be updating this journal every week and published some of my newly edited-story if I have the time. Exams coming too so I might be more busy than usual. So expect at most six months of hiatus from me. The story seriously need a long time to plan. Let's say there's at least more than 10 thousand words (or even 20 thousand) for the next story that I'm writing. It's going to be a one-shot story without chapters. For now I'm not going to reveal what sort of story I'm writing.
Anyways looking forward to next week!

2nd Update
Wow! Just only a day passed by and I'm already updating my journal?
Well, it seems alot of stuffs have happened alot between now and yesterday after I've written my journal. After posting my last entry, I found out our affliates (HopeforLorn), which is one of my most fav. Weiß kreuz fansites, were going to close down! I was feeling despressed the whole night because it was the one and only Weiß kreuz fansite that's currently active in the net. If you'd actually went to the site journal and see the comments, you can see me grieving sadly. It's true that I'm a super huge Weiß kreuz fan.
It all started when I'm only 11 years old. My big sis who came back from Singapore for her holidays introduce me Weiß kreuz. I immediately got hooked to the anime and finish the whole series in the afternoon. I've managed to borrow a hard-to-find Weiß kreuz soundtrack from my sis (she used to be a Weiß kreuz fan but not anymore) and I was slowly drawn into the world of Weiß. Most people might say that I only loved their songs because I love their anime however that's not true. I do not personally love Weiß as an anime, but as a band. I've been listening to various types of Weiß kreuz songs for almost more than 5 years (still counting) and I can say is their songs had changed part of my life little by little. It's true that I started listening their songs because of anime fandom but soon when I'm feeling sad or lonely, their songs really cheered my life up. They have accompany every single moment of my life and their songs even made me realise that I'm such a music lover. After 7 years I love for Weiß did not end. I am hoping to get more Weiß kreuz stuffs especially their last concert DVD, or probably all their CDs and DVDs. I really wish I could fly to Japan now, find Koyasu Takehito (creator of Weiß kreuz) and asked him to regroup/recreate Weiß kreuz again. I would probably do anything to make Weiß kreuz continue on.
*Ahem* Today I visit HopeforLorn's site and found out she's not closing it down! Instead she's going to move the contents to another site! WOOHOO! Upon hearing this super great news, I personally declare today as "Weiß kreuz Forever" day, which I will listen to Weiß kreuz songs all day and night 24 hours! When I'm playing PC games I turn them on, when I'm going out I'll listen to my iPod, when I'm driving I'll play the CD in my car, when I'm sleeping I'll just leave the music on and when I'm not at home I'll leave the music played in the laptop while I'm out. YES, I AM CRAZY! Anything for the sake of Weiß kreuz. Noone can stop me now! Muahahahaha!
Weiß kreuz forever!
Okay, You probably have enough of me talking about Weiß kreuz. I've been doing deep thinkings for my story today. Manage to rid of some of my writer's block and most probably I can produce another story next week, or next next week. Been doing some housework today which had divert my thinkings away. Um... I guess that's all. I forgot to mention that I will update once a week for this journal to keep everyone in touch. If I fail to do so I'll post some nude pictures for everyone. Nyah, just kidding. I will definitely update it once per week, hopefully.
See you all next week!

Fun Weekend!
Okay, my first post for this journal!
I've been rather busy for this week. I have to study for the treasure hunt that my lecturer have organise but it's just not any ordinary treasure hunt - the questions answered for the treasure hunt are part of my course examinations. So I have to study for the 'treasure hunt test' and also host the hunt for the opposing team. My team got a very low score but at least we passed the test. 11/20. I really hope I can get higher than that.
Been watching a japanese drama called "Liar Game' which took me about half the day to finish the whole series. It's a really interesting drama which I haven't watch for a long time. Aside from that I've recently finishing downloading an anime which has taken me THREE months to download it. I even downloaded a new MMORPG called 'Age of Armor' and I've tried it this morning. It's really fun and exciting for me.
Aside from all those I've been scratching my head thinking about how I should plan the new love story which I've thought about while shopping. So this weekend it's planning+games+anime+homework = busy. Unfortunately I've decided to put the 'racing' story aside for a moment. And my head's gonna explode soon if I don't find out how I'm suppose to do a good site layout.
Nevertheless this week's weekend is fun, yet busy. Hope you guys have a fun time too this weekend.
Cheers!
