Celeste is pure. Although each room presents to you new challenges, but the solution is always the same: jump. Jumping is remixed in dozens of different, exciting ways. Celeste is the very soul of simplicity, and that’s what makes it such a beautiful game.

The game tells the story of Madeline, a young woman on a journey to climb the titular mountain. Madeline is in a funk: anxious, unsure, and struggling with depression. The mountain is more than just a giant rock. Climbing it is an achievement Madeline desperately needs. It’s a grueling task, but one filled with purpose. Madeline climbs up, and when she thinks she can’t go any higher, she keeps going anyway.

The real beauty of Celeste’s design is that it allows you to push your skills exactly as far as you want, while always leaving room for more. My first ascent to the summit took me around 6 hours, allowing for plenty of exploring and failures along the way. Your route is thick with side areas and hidden passages, though, containing bonus strawberries to collect, challenge levels to unlock, and some very creative secrets beyond even those. Those challenge levels are the B-sides, remixes of each chapter that present you with far, far more difficult obstacles to overcome. Beating those can unlock even harder levels, meaning you will always have a greater challenge to tackle. There’s even a sort of epilogue chapter you can open up by collecting some of the game’s most well-hidden secrets, so your adventures with Maddie can easily run past a dozen hours.

Although the game is tough, and will often times make you rage, I still love this game and recommend it highly to anyone who wants to try out some new game!

About a year ago, after our finals, my friends and I were tired, relieved and happy. We decided that we should relax, and what better place to relax, than Port Dickson?

Port Dickson is located in Negeri Sembilan, and is about an hour drive away from Kuala Lumpur. We played in the beach for about an hour there. Although the water was a bit dirty, it got better the further we drifted away from the beach. It was really refreshing, seeing as how we were so tensed up from the finals.

After the beach, we visited the local army museum. The museum has many insightful historical exhibits, and even features a subterranean tunnel and army vehicles! After that, we headed to a restaurant to have our lunch before heading back to the university. It was a great day indeed.

It was the 21^st birthday of my friend’s brother, and he decided to host his own party instead of having other people hosting a birthday party for him. Seeing as how me and my friends were invited the party, we agreed to go and have a good time.

It was a blast! He rented a house solely for the party, and it was a wise decision. Who would want to mess up one’s own house and clean it after the party? Apart from renting the house, guess what he rented as well, he rented a DJ for the party! How crazy is that? All of us were drinking within an hour of getting there and having a good time.

All in all, it was a great night. Everyone there managed to have fun and I even met a couple of my high school friends that I lost touch with and catch up with them. I hope that I’ll be able to attend more parties like this in the future.

During the end of December last year, my family and I went to Langkawi for a vacation. We went there for a total of 3 days and 2 nights. Long story short, it was such an enriching experience too. I pride myself in knowing where Langkawi is now.

Since we were able to rent a car, we were able to go to most sightseeing places in Langkawi, and can I assure you, it was beautiful! We hiked some hill and managed to find ourselves a huge waterfall that was at least several meters high! Since we didn’t bring the appropriate wear for the occasion, we didn’t play in the water and instead took in the breathtaking view only.

Besides, we also went to some beaches and there was one that really caught my attention. It’s the black sand beach that’s located at the North end of Langkawi. Instead of being the usual peach colour, most parts of the beach is that of a charcoal colour. Scientist’s claim the colour can be explained geologically by the presence of Tourmaline, and Ilmenite mineral washed down to the beach from Mount Raya. But, a combination of the two minerals rarely causes black sand outside of Langkawi, putting the claims into doubt. This makes the origin of the black sand very interesting and curious.

At the end of the trip, we were a bit disheartened because it was time to finally face reality again. I hope that I would have the chance to visit Langkawi again, since there are still places that I haven’t been to yet and would very much like to visit!

Are you a fan of Dota 2? If so, you’d probably know that Malaysia was the location for one of the Minors. The venue for the competition was set in Genting, and since my friends and I played Dota 2 quite often, we thought we’d go there and cheer for our favourite teams.

It was a 3 days 2 night trip, all of us even had to skip our Friday’s class in order to watch the first match. It was a fun and thrilling weekend. We would wake up and eat good food before going to the Arena of Stars to watch the best of the best compete against each other, and this happened for three days. The vacation was very much needed, we definitely had our fill of rest and fun there.

Although the ticket was quite expensive, it was worth it, seeing as how we got to see our idolized players up close and my friends even got their hands on their autographs too! I hope that Malaysia will be able to host such events in the future again because I sure as hell will attend it with my friends!

This is about an article that I read on the Internet. It was about a baby elephant named Brownie was born in 2017 and was weighed around 200 pounds with about 3 feet tall height. She was found mourning in Tanzania by the animal rescue team when her mother was shot dead by poachers . When her mother was suffering, all Brownie could do was to see her mother bleed to death and do nothing.

Due to the complex situation, Brownie was taken away to the Wildlife Care Center where trained keepers are there to take care of her. Brownie was first showing sign of nervous and aware due to her witnessing her mother’s death. To help Brownie for better adapting to the environment, Brownie was put together with the other elephants in the center. Since then she slowly settled down and seems to be attached to her keepers and new family members.

“She will soon return to her real home once she is able to take care of herself from danger and hunger. Even though it is hard to let her go, but she must go back to where she belongs.”, said by Brownie’s keeper, Ms. Zavania. I feel sad for Brownie and pray for her so that she will be able to fend off any predators and hope that she’ll be able to live life to the fullest.

Penang food is worth dying for. You should really try Seven Village Noodle House in Butterworth. There are various choices in the menu, which is not only limited to Koay Teow Soup. There are many brances around west Malaysia, but the one in Butterworth is the first store, so I opted to try the Butterworth store.

I first tried the most popular Koay Teow Soup in the shop. It has authentic taste and the minced meat tastes really nice. The texture of the Koay Teow is very soft and its really easy to chew, thus making it suitable for all age group. The fishball inside taste really nice too and the texture is really chewy. Other than the Koay Teow soup, you should try out the Lobak and Kon Jiang too as they’re quite delicious. The Lobak and Kon Jiang taste fresh as its freshly made every day. I also highly recommend the drinks there, this is because all the drinks there all using original ingredient and it is very flavourful.

The environment there is also really comfortable. The customer can choose to sit inside the air-conditioned room or the open air area. The open air area is really cooling and doesn’t have any oily smell. The price there is also very reasonable and affordable. The store starts operating from 7.30AM to 5PM, whole week without any rest day so that customer can come here to have their breakfast, brunch, lunch and even early dinner. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The sound of firecrackers, the hot weather, the sight of traffic jams – all of these phenomenon indicates that Chinese New Year is upon us once again.

Every year, my family and I will have a one day trip to visit our relatives from our father’s side. Since they’re all located in KL, it’s easier for us to visit them. Although it was tiring, it was fun, seeing as how we finally have the chance to catch up with each other.

On the second day of Chinese New Year, we would drive all the way back to Penang to visit relatives from our mother’s side. We would spend a few days there to relax and chill with everyone. We have a tradition too, which is to watch the Chinese New Year film for that year. That means that 5 families, around 20 people, are going to the cinema to watch the movie.

Although Chinese New Year is very tiring, with the traffic jams and hot weather, it was still pretty aight. I look forward to our next Chinese New Year.

It was the semester break, and seeing as how I have plenty of time to laze around at home, I’ve decided to catch up with some of my friends.

I attended a primary school reunion and lo and hold, my primary school teachers were invited too. These teachers loved our class back then, and I’m sure they still love us now. We were pretty sad to hear that one of the teacher is going to retire this year, but thankfully, she got transferred back to our primary school so we’re planning to attend her retire ceremony.

Besides, I also caught up with some other friends of mine. We went to a hidden bar and ordered some drinks. Seeing as I was driving the girls back, and being the responsible man that I was, I decided to only drink a lil’ and not drown myself in alcohol. It was a pretty chill night, though I wish I could get a little bit more wasted.

All in all, it was a good break.

Although school was torturing, seeing as how we need to wake at 5am and do homework and obey the school rules and try not to get caught “ponteng kelas”, but it was quite fun, hanging out with all of your friends and talk mostly about nothing all the time and cracking up at something stupid. It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. But, all good things eventually come to an end. My brother finally graduated from these journey 5 months ago, leaving behind the same school area that he’s been studying for 11 years.

Looking at him receiving his graduation certificate from the headmaster, I can’t help but think what a fine man my brother has become. He used to be so naughty back then, and I’ll always get into fights with him. He’s still cheeky now, but his thinking has already matured. I couldn’t be more proud of my brother, and I wish him all the best in his SPM (He got 9A’s HAHAHAHA).
