Hi all,
today has been a rather dull and depressing day. To cheer myself up, I was driving unusually slow and listening to my favourite Japanese band "Weiß kreuz". Loneliness and darkness grew deeper than ever in my heart. My everyday life is always a darkness - never a light has shine upon it before. Even if I'm hanging out with my friends laughing and doing some stupid things, the light never appeared before me. I always wonder why I was I covered by the dark cloud. Is this my destiny? Why should my life be any different from everyone? Ever since I was a kid, I always wonder when I will be able to see the light. Even until now I'm still waiting for the light to shine away the darkness fr om my life. But a question pops into my mind: will the light going to show itself? Or will I be the demon who will never see the light in Hell?
I sincerely apologise for not updating this journal for a very long time. I was been SUPER busy with my assignments (even right now) and never had the chance to write this journal. Story will be postpone as usual and I truly hope I can get it done as soon as possible. In case you're wondering why I write "Beautiful Alone" as my title, go read the song's lyrics sang by Weiß kreuz and you'll understand.
Cheers,
Ryou Takehito

Escaping Death once again
Hey all,
Sorry it's been such a long time since I last update my journal. Actually I have been desperate and have been learning Shogi madly. The main reason is because I lost to the kids in Japan Club two weeks ago and I really really want to improve my game. Therefore I almost spend every night learning Shogi hoping to master joseki (opening moves) one at a time.
Actually today a few weird stuffs have happened to me. The first weird thing is I woke up early at 6am and went to college only to find out the semester break starts today! When I enter the class it was so empty that I waited till my lesson starts but yet no one comes. Feeling silly I drove back home and went back to sleep.
Just now while I was driving on the road, I almost got myself into an accident. For some reason, today I was driving very slow (normally I would be driving at 120km/h at town roads) and then suddenly a car came towards my way! Using my "reckless driving techniques" I perfectly avoided the car and remained calm throughout the situation. I was actually thankful that my "reckless driving" has helped me improve my driving (or racing) skills. This is not the first time that I encounter such accident in my life. A month ago during the morning I was driving past a corner at a very fast speed (130 Km/h) on the right lane and it was suppose to be clear road ahead of me until a van suddenly came to my lane. Almost crashing into the van, I quickly turn my steering and I perfectly switch to the middle lane without a dent or a scratch on my car. My housemate got so panic that I have to apologise to him. I guess I have escape my death. Hate to admit it but the drivers in Malaysia are really horrible drivers. They just switch to a lane without giving a signal or tried to occupy two lanes at the same time. Sometimes I just wonder how they pass their driving test.
I will be returning back to Brunei tomorrow morning for a week. However I won't be enjoying my Chinese New Year because I have lots of lots of assignments to do. I think I'll probably be staying at home the whole time writing my research and reports. =.=|||
Again I apologise for the delay of my story "Final Heaven X" because I have been toooooo busy learning Shogi and doing assignments. I really hope I can find some time to write it when I'm not busy with my assignments. Anyways hope you all enjoy your Chinese New Year break.
Regards,

Happy and sick!
Hey all!
How are you all doing? I'm not really doing well, I'm feeling a little sick right now. But I think I'll recover by tomorrow after I wake up. Since I'm a little sick obviously I'm not working on the story. When I do, I will definitely start writing it. Until then, please bear with me!
Aside from that, do you remember few days ago I said that I lost one of my Shogi's piece? I was really depressed about it so I went back to college and look for it again. Even if there's no hope in finding it again I tried my luck. Unfortunately I can't find it. I CAN'T FIND IT!!! Instead of being depressed, I cheer myself up by using the extra "pawn" piece to replace the "gold" piece. I put a tape on the back side of the pawn piece and used it as a gold piece. I'm thinking of going back to the shop in Brunei next month and purchase a new set again. Until then I hope I won't lose another piece.
After a few days of losing the "gold" piece, my shogi set has finally arrived from UK!!! WOW! I didn't expect it to arrive in less than a month! My last purchase took a month and a half to arrive. I totally didn't expect it to arrive so fast! I was going to upload the picture of it but since I'm so lazy maybe I'll upload it next time. There are few things that I'm not satisfied with my "Play Shogi Today 2" set. First the "promoted" side of the pieces are not written in red! The other thing that I'm not really satisfied is the shogi pieces are really flat! Nevertheless I will try my best to get used to this new set. At least I don't have to worry about the wooden board tearing up, unlike my paper shogi board.
Last Friday I went to Ipoh with my assignment group. It was fantastic! After our site visit in Ipoh we went around town to look for the best food like "white coffee" or "ngai choi chicken" or whatever you called it. Nevertheless I really enjoy hanging out with my new friends.
On the next day I once again went to JCKL (Japan Club Kuala Lumpur) to play Shogi. However there are only four people playing Shogi (all of them are japanese) and LOTS OF LOTS of people playing Go! It's sad to find that Shogi population is so small. Because I don't feel well, I couldn't concentrate on my games that day. My first three match was against a rather short old japanese man. I lost my first two games to him but later made my victory on my third game. I was very ashamed of myself because i made countless of mistakes just because I couldn't concentrate well. Finally he have to go home and guess what? My next opponent was the old japanese man who defeat the crap out of me few months ago! If you actually remember reading my journal few months ago about an old japanese man who beat me, it's him! I was very nervous facing him because I'm scared I might lose to him again. To make things worst, I couldn't concentrate properly just because I'm sick. And so our match begins.
It was rather hard for me to break into his enemy base. Eventhough I succeeded in breaking into his base but it only took a while for him to break into my base. He kept on breaking my king's defense. Whenever I have the chance I took my opportunity to continue attacking his base. After a few moves he began tearing off my defense. I defense all I could to prevent myself from checkmate. However he made a few minor mistakes. He actually made a wrong move on his "Dragon" that gave me an opportunity to check both his "Dragon" and his King and I captured his "Dragon" with ease. But he doesn't give up, he still continue to attack me with all his might. After exhausting almost all of his attacks, he proceed to capture my "Lance" with his second "Dragon". Again, because of his greed, I made another attempt of checking both his King and his "Dragon" again! Soon he used up all his "captured" piece and he was only left with a few pawns! The only pieces he have in my base are his "Horse" and "Silver". I managed to capture all the pieces "Gold, Silver and Knight" when he attempt to checkmate me. "Now it's the opportunity to counterattack," I thought. So I proceed to attack his king with my "Horse" and start checking his King. Finally his King has nowhere to run - I have defeated him! Admitting defeat, he was impressed of me and we both nod to thank each other for the game. Before he left his seat, he actually took out his hand to shake hands with me! Feeling proud I shake his hands with great happiness and since all the Shogi players have left, I continued to study Shogi in JCKL all alone. I couldn't believe I actually defeated him! I should have asked his name! The only regret is I couldn't show him my full concentration because I'm sick. I hope I get to play with him again next time and show him what I'm capable of! Only half a year have passed and I've already made a lot of improvements in my Shogi. I gotta work more harder so I can become a professional shogi player!
Anyways that's all I have to report for now. Sorry for talking too much about Shogi again. It seems that I talk about Shogi almost everyday with my friends and family. I hope my friends won't get irritated about me talking about Shogi all the time. See you all next week and I hope I can get my story done in time!

Happy Japanese New Year!
Hey hey hey all!
First of all I would like to wish all the Japanese happy new year! I'm not sure whether today's a new year for Japanese because the Japan Club Kuala Lumpur (JCKL) held a new year festival today! It was a blast! I've never seen so many Japanese in my life! But the main reason why I went to JCKL is to apply membership for the Shogi club. Now I'm officially a member of the Shogi Club of JCKL and I'm really hoping to play more Shogi and learn new stuffs from them! The Japanese in Shogi Club was surprised that I know how to play Shogi (since I was a chinese and the only non-japanese guy who knows how to play Shogi) and they arrange a few games with me against a kid of about 7 kyu. Amazingly I've obtained victory over the kid for all the four games. The adults felt impressed of me and arrange a game with me against an adult of rank 1-kyu. The game lasted for about an hour and I achieved another victory! WOOHOO! But the thing is I made a few mistakes in the game and I think he purposely go easy against me. I should have copied down the notes so I can research the game now. and learn his and my mistakes. However they said I'm very strong and even asked me to challenge the president of the club, which has a rank of 5-Dan! 5-Dan!? Are you crazy? I'll probably get beaten out of the crap by him! Tired and scared of the challenge, I reject them. To be honest, I really want to test my skills against him but I'll probably do that next time. Anyways it was a great festival in JCKL. I hope to attend more festivals in the future.
Right now I'm working on Final Heaven X chapter 2 and it will probably be out within a week or two. No promises but I will try my best to write.
Alright, I'm really tired after four Shogi games (against the 7-kyu kid) and one not-too-stressful Shogi game (against 1-kyu adult). I really need to rest now. I'll probably wake up in the middle of the night to learn Shogi again. Until next week, bye!

A brand new year and a brand new hope!
Happy New Year!
I can't believe two years just passed by like that in Malaysia! Anyways hope you all have a great time celebrating Christmas and New Year! As for me, I went and watch a movie with my sister during Christmas. I can't really spend Christmas with my friends because they're outstation. During new year's eve, I went Melaka with my sister and her friends and we have so much fun there! Great food and enjoy the fireworks with the locals, it was really fun and exciting.
So what is everyone's new year resolution? Mine of course will be becoming a 1-Dan Shogi player this year! Hahahahaha. Hope I can really achieve this rank before this year ends!
Anyways I went to kinokuniya again to search for Shogi related books. No luck for me until I found a few in the Japanese Section. Eventhough I can't understand Japanese but I feel that I should buy it and practise the questions.
I don't know what's the full title is but what I do know is it's a Tsume Shogi questions (Shogi Mating Questions) and it's for players between 9 kyu and 1 kyu. The questions inside are tough for me to solve and I personally think it will help me improve my skills alot. If you look carefully at the photo, you can actually see my "Art of Shogi" behind and my lousy Shogi sets (with paper as the board) at the right side. Speaking of my lousy Shogi sets I have purchase a good Shogi sets a week ago for about US$90 and I will be hoping to receive it around next month. I can't wait for it to arrive! Hate to admit it but it's really expensive to purchase it. Anyways today I just finish learning about "Static Rook" opening and I can't wait to start learning "Central Rook" opening! I'll probably purchase "Habu's Words" after I've done reading everything in "Art of Shogi".
My semester will begin on this coming monday. I can't wait to see my friends again in college! And about my stories I haven't made any progress in it since I was too busy celebrating Christmas and New Year and I was too engross in learning Shogi. I will probably start writing again next week if I feel like it. Hehe.
I'm looking forward to be under your care again this year!

Just a little small update
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!

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!

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!

I would like to officially announced that I am going to finish off a love series called "Goshogi" this probably next week so I'm really looking forward to you guys to read!
Not only am I working hard on the story, I had an exam last wednesday and man my head always exploded! There are just too many things to memorise! Who the hell invented exams? But I'm glad that I was able to do the paper well after stuffing so many things into my head in just a morning (the exams are during the afternoon). 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!

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!

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!
