The Great Noise
24 Feb 2012 Leave a Comment
The class was sleepily silent as the teacher rambled on, sometimes a very tired answer echoing through the sun-filled classroom, like one who is very tired of what you are saying but answers anyway.
I sucked my sweet inconspiciously, so to keep awake. Sugar, every variety of chocolate and caffeine always had some magic with me that I could not explain, keeping me awake and, if I had too much, hyperactive.
Outside, a strange noise was rumbling. I raised my head, wondering what the strange sound was. It seemed to be growing louder, too.
Louder and louder it grew, and suddenly it grew so loud that you could immediately discern it was created by a large group of people.
Curiosity seemed to spark in my classmates as they realised what was happening. One by one they began wondering aloud who was making such a racket.
The loud ‘ohhhhhh’ — the sound you would hear in Singapore whenever someone did something wrong, by accident or otherwise —- continued on for about a minute before a muscular teacher walked out of the neighbouring classroom and shouted out (and because we ‘freshmen’ studied on the first floor) to the students on the fourth floor to shut up and get on with their studies.
Then the bell rang, and the school exploded into screams of joy.
Secondary school and Alpenliebes
23 Feb 2012 Leave a Comment
Secondary school life is amazing.
Much better than primary school life, in my opinion.
In secondary school, the lessons are doubly boring because you feel as though you’ve already seen and read all those subjects before, but continually forget where. But practicals are always fun, and my partner and I always got wet some way or another in Science practicals. ICT lessons couldn’t be more boring, for they covered subjects like Dreamweaver, and Dreamweaver was a software I found most boring, especially with Photoshop sitting so invitingly at the corner of the desktop; until one day I wandered over to the ‘code’ tab. Then I entertained myself with manually typing out commands, style fonts and heading customising, which was actually much easier than clicking through a whole series of buttons to set a sentence or word or phrase to a particular heading. And I made the important downloading of Google Chrome, which so many students had failed to do before me, went to Facebook and found then rest of the class there. As such we spammed till the bell rang.
I even played Minecraft with a few of my classmates, three of which had to crack, and all of which were boys. I tried playing it on the school computer, but it was so ridiculously slow I simply gave up.
Our school happens to be planted right along the train track that went directly to the neighbourhood shopping centre (a.k.a epic student hangout), as such it was quite customary to pop along McDonalds on CCA days for a burger or so before going back to school at 3.00, just in time to get to our respective CCAs.
And its quite widely known that you are not supposed to eat any sweets in class, although students have broken it a hundred times over. Today my friend brought a big bag of purple grape-and-milk Alpenliebes, and I literally fell in love with them, and finished about six of them in the short period of time between the start of school and break in class without the teacher even noticing. (The trick is to put your bag on your chair behind you, and when you’re well prepared to bite the sweet out of its wrapper, you turn around, pretend to be taking a book out and turn back around when you have the sweet in your mouth, and then hide the wrapper in your pocket to throw later.)
Moral of the post is, school doesn’t necessarily suck. You’re just thinking negatively towards it.
Dragon Cave, Yummicraft and SOPA

Before anything, watch this video.

On to the happier things of life! 
Recently I started playing a game called Dragon Cave. It’s a game where you raise dragons from egg form to adulthood and feed them with “views” and “clicks” by putting their thumbnails on your siggies in your forums/in forum posts/anywhere that the picture is visible. The more clicks/views/unique views you give it, the faster it will grow. Meh, it’s pretty complicated to explain. Here’s the website though: www.dragcave.net
I’ve done some epic dragon breeding before posting this; as I write this I already have four full-grown dragons, two hatchlings, one hatching egg and three other eggs, one being the offspring of two of the adult dragons. I’ve named all the dragons I know the gender of some pretty epic names — in order from the oldest — Etarius [Daydream Dragon; was going to name him Etacarina then he turned out to be a boy], Amaridellus [Whiptail Dragon; also wanted to name him the girl's version of his name, Amaridellia, but NOOOO], Sophii [Water Dragon; first female! ] and Kentari [Balloon Dragon; yeah, sounds a little Japanese, I was running out of names]. The rest of my dragons are either still eggs or gender-unknown hatchlings. Meh, bit of geek rant there 
HECK YEAH, I just reloaded my page and discovered one of my hatchlings just grew into a matured one!!!
Anyways, now on to Yummicraft. I’ve had a couple of new ideas for it, not gonna tell anyone for fear of idea stealing Also I read a book on Java and it gave me a supreme headache. O.o
That’s it for now.

Yummycraft Phase 1
12 Dec 2011 Leave a Comment
I’ve decided to start on my latest mod idea, Yummycraft, for Minecraft.
Phase 1 includes:
1. Gathering as many food ideas and recipes as I can to add into the mod.
2. Figure out some sensible recipes for the items.
3. Download JavaJDK, JRE, possibly JCreator, the Minecraft Coder Pack and bloody CamStudio for my PC because I can’t buy FRAPS.
4. Figure out scripts needed.
And if you haven’t figured out what Yummycraft is, it’s a mod that introduces all sorts of (yummy) foods and juices. That also includes Coke, which I haven’t actually figured out how the hell you’re supposed to craft. I’ve figured out how to get the ten tablespoons of sugar – or one pile of sugar, in Minecraft – but I haven’t figured out how you’re going to get carbon dioxide and sodium that forms the notoriously ridiculous amount of gas.
Officialness aside, here’s all the foods I’ve decided to add into Yummycraft.
1. Lying Cake, which is the main highlight of the mod, and proves that the cake is a lie. Moves to another tile when player rightclicks on it, sort of like the Ender Dragon Egg from defeating the Enderdragon.
PROGRESSION OF RECIPE: Done
2. Chocolate Cake, a cake my imagination stumbled upon whilst thinking about the lying cake.
PROGRESSION OF RECIPE: Done
3. Apple Juice, another highlight of the mod, which happens to be my favourite juice. Teehee.
PROGRESSION OF RECIPE: Done
4. Oreos, which act exactly like cookies, just that they recover more hearts and are harder to craft. :F
PROGRESSION OF RECIPE: Done
5. Waffles, again like cookies but recover more hearts because I happen to like them a lot :3
PROGRESSION OF RECIPE: 20%
That’s it for now.
Cookie Creepers
21 Nov 2011 Leave a Comment
Today I installed the Elemental Creepers mod for Minecraft. The moment I went into a world I saw two friendly pink creepers (aaaaaaahw~!) and tamed them with gunpowder. They were so cute! 
And then i spawned in a couple of ice creepers, who covered the entire area with nothing but snow after blowing up. And then I saw my food bar going down, and I remembered: COOKIE CREEPERS!
And if you can spawn any amount, I thought, why not spawn a thousand?
And so I typed in /spawn cookiecreeper 1000, and guess what, a thousand brown-coloured cookie creepers spawned in and started blowing up and killed my Minecraft. Woohoo.
The point of this post is, do not, under any circumstances, spawn in a thousand creepers.
Graduation
21 Nov 2011 Leave a Comment
So, I’ve just graduated.
It’s bittersweet.
When you graduate, you rejoice, having finally completed a phase of schooling, knowing you won’t be scolded by the same teachers anymore. Then you start to cry, for the sadder side of the same reason, and the fact that you might never see your friends again.
When I got my cert I just couldn’t believe it. Tears formed in my eyes, and I sniffed it, as though to make sure it was real, and it smelled like toilet paper.
The graduation dinner afterwards was an emotional, and delicious, dinner. Clad in my completely Veeko-covered self I went to the dinner, and all my friends said I looked really pretty while I said I looked like a coffeeshop auntie because the tights looked weird. Two extremes.
The end of the dinner was the part I couldn’t stand; everybody was sobbing into one another’s clothing except for me and another friend of mine; we were staring at each other and seeing who could stand the epic crying going on all around us the longest.
Well, that’s graduating for you.
Bittersweet.
Downloader Pro

in bla bla bla~
I officially declare myself Downloader Pro.
Today I dedicated myself to downloading Minecraft stuff – got Doku’s RPG Texture Pack (fell in love with High), MALfunction54′s Somnia, Equivalent Exchange and Jolicraft. Links to the stuff I downloaded at the bottom of this post if you’re interested in downloading for your Minecraft. They’re awesome stuff!
Also today I’ve tried to start on the creation of my dream texture packs, Cubic Form and Woollycraft, along with my dream custom map (which I haven’t come up with a name yet), without much success.
And Downloader Pro sounds like some kind of professional download-speedupper, doesn’t it? I should just make a page called Downloader Pro with awesome download links. Yeah. I’ll do it right after I finish this post.
If you came here because you wanted to find a download speedupper, sorry for any misleading caused.
Mentioned Downloads:
RPG Texture Pack by doku
Somnia by MALfunction84
Equivalent Exchange by x3n0ph0b3
Jolicraft by andrejolicoeur
Enjoy! ^^
Projects and talent shows
03 Nov 2011 Leave a Comment
in bla bla bla~
I’ve recently overloaded myself with drawing, video and singing projects, along with talent show practices that tax my voice pretty darn hard. The school talent show auditions start next week, and my friend and I (we’re singing a duet song) are pretty scared that we might get stage frights, despite having been on enormous external stages and performing in front of crowdfuls of strangers in our CCA groups.
I’ve mostly overloaded myself with drawing projects, after that friend of mine came up with the most amazing romantic-high-school-love-story I’ve ever heard, a storyline she’s been cooking up ever since the end of the national exams, making a big part of the story every night in bed. The downside is that the plot is unbelievably complex, also because I’m not exactly astonishingly amazing in my drawing; think Hatsune Miku minus colour, mouth and nose. Also, she says it’s an ongoing plot, meaning it’s a half-done plot, or in her case a nine-over-ten completed plot, and is also unbelievably long – it has well over fifty chapters, which I might have to break up into a few different books – a series! Yeah. Sounds pretty enticing. And lastly, there’s a hell load of boys in it, and I’m really pretty horrible at drawing boys, since they come out looking like sissy boys all the time.
Also I’ve assigned myself to recreate Kokoro by Kagamine Rin x Len (Vocaloid 02) into a comic. It’s ongoing, but the original script looks downright disgusting, I’ve restarted it.
As for the video projects, I’ve got one project on my list right now, and that’s already an overload, a Girlfriend MMV which I may or may not upload to YouTube, depends on how it turns out. It’s pretty difficult, thank you, trying to make enormous scenes with BannedStory or squeeze a series of pictures such that every picture lasts for only half a second. Everything has to be exactly right or the whole timeline will die.
That’s it for the project raving.
This is me signing off.
Hello world.

Hey world.
This is probably my third blog, my third cookie tree. The reason I’ve created so many cookie trees is because my first one was a failure, my second one had the xxx ‘porno’ thingy (I didn’t realise until my friend pointed out) and so my third one is this, thecandyraid.
I won’t call it thecookietree anymore simply because I can. :3 I’ll post tons of crap, but if you like listening to crap, this is the place for you.
Either that, or you’re my friend, and I’ve linked you gleefully to this page, or you’ve come from somewhere in youtube. Anyways, this is my first post on CandyRaid. Byes.
