On board SMCU Express to Kwangya

SMCU Express

7:12pm 1st Feb 2022

This was the best decision I've ever made; confirming order for SHINee version.

I mean, look at the color?

Ok, maybe not these (silver and brown) color

                                              👆but theseeee👇                                            👆

So beautiful.

I was blessed with Onew's poster, Key's photocard, and Minho's ID card. I got all three of them in one pull 😘💓

and oh before you panic, Taemin's in the army. That's why it's Onew, Key, Minho of SHINee instead of just SHINee. 💖

I appreciate SM's effort matching the associated color of their artists into this release; Boa Yellow, TVXQ Red, SuJu Blue, SNSD Pink, SHINee Aqua, EXO DarkGrey, RedVelvet SalmonPeach, NCT LimeGreen, and Aespa OmbreBluePink (and mixed becoming pastel purple).

Like for once, SHINee album (Ok, it's not really a SHINee album) is surrounded with PearlAquaGreen. I love it!

It's an entire SM artist winter album. The last time SM released a winter album was in 2011 and f(x) was in it. 

Bitter.

but this music video is love.

I really love how they included the iconic / legendary blue sky with cloud in the background!!! and of course, super duper appreciative of the respective artist associate colors in the background too.

Except for aespa's. They look too close to f(x) 's color. Pastel Purple is f(x) and to pass that color to aespa is making me feel bitter. but I try to remind myself about not to hold on to something that is out of our control.

Speaking of control. I was rewatching / watching videos of SMCU Express unboxing and that made me feel like I want to buy everyone's versions; Boa, SuJu, NCT, RedVelvet, just for the sake of having them in my collection. I mean, so colorful in their own color! 😍

shawolzenl unboxed 4. I have yet to learn her name and I just called her "cShawolZenL" 😁

There's also an SMtown version which apparently includes all the artist involve in this release. but that version's cover kinda boring? I duno. The chuchu train in the cover is great. I love the concept for this on the way to Kwangya thing. 

I was sooo 👌 close to order it from my trusty kpop merch seller BUTT

I stopped myself from ordering coz we don't need to collect ANYTHING!

SELF-CONTROL! 💰

We'll just have to enjoy them via other people unboxing videos.

I might go and buy the other member photocards and IDs tho. coz I see a lot of Onew's ID card on other people unboxing videos and I want one too. 🤷 We'll see.

Freaked out Some more

hahaha So, umm..

I like to compose my blog post on Notepad first before I finally copy paste them here (coz I tend to go off a tangent) and when I was saving the Wizards Unite note (for yesterday blogpost), another Wizards Unite came up and I was shooketh. Like, dude have I did this post before?! Remember how in the previous post I mentioned how I repeated myself without knowing that I have mentioned it before? yeah. sis was so shhoooketh.

Anyway, Yes. I did another note on Wizards Unite before but it was more about the game itself and base on this note, I actually 'neglected' Wizards Unite already. but at the point of making the note, I began again. I'm pretty sure I neglected it again after that day 😝. I was right about one thing tho, I abandoned the game wayyyy before end of 2020. There's a VERY high chance I didn't open the game in 2020 at all. 😂😂

I will share you that note now.

Wizards Unite

I just realize I haven't shared this yet.

Wizards Unite is a game base on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. this is a second game. the first is the Hogwarts Mystery. 

I have not played the Hogwarts Mystery in a long time tho. In fact, I have neglect Wizards Unite as well. but I still want to make this post.

the basic.

if you ever played Pokemon Go (I have never), it's the same concept. Instead of catching Pokemon, we, wizards and witches, COLLECT CONFOUNDABLES. Oh! it's like scavenger hunt! you have to go around collecting things. 

I think I ever do at least 5 outings to play this game? it was exhausting. I only ever played at night and I still sweats like crazy. I feel like that's the idea for the game; to get people to go outside. 

I really thought I couldn't play this game in Brunei but I can play just fine. the places to 'cast magic' are mostly around at shopping center, mosques, Govt Office buildings, major parks. I only ever play while staying in my car. LOL I mean, can bah. 

How the game works;

you need to know where you'll be able to 'collect' the confoundables. they usually around shopping centers and office buildings.

this was at SupaSave Mabohai

This was right in the center of Bandar, right next to Prime Minister Office.

you will need enough 'lighting' a.k.a. energy to perform your spell

Your energy can be obtain from Inns, and (if you're lucky) Green Houses.

Green Houses:

the place to collect Potion Ingredients.

other ways to collect Potions ingredients: they be scattered around, in your area, where you stand, rajin2 liat surrouding your virtual person.

Inns:

the main way to collect energy

There are also Fortresses, 

which I have not try yet. I read from wizardsunitehub.info, they say its a 5-persons dungeon scenario that requires Runestone to enter. I have runestones. Players are required to group-up, bring different Professions, and progres through Fortress floors. I mean, there maybe a reason why I have never tried this Fortress before; I played this game alone. and I have yet to find a friend in Brunei who played this game. I strongly believe that I'm the only one yg bother to play. LOL

this game is pretty Live. it eats way more data then LINE Play. another reason why I seldom play other than the fact that I need to go outside to play and it's not even to go outside my house, I have to drive around to be able to play!

This is me opening the game in my house. I am not lying there's nothing.

Also, i think, my iphone 6 plus is not really compatible with the game. sometimes, even with good internet, the game crashes. it's frustrating. so frustrating that I choose not to bother to play.

I think its a good game minus the going outside. LOL i mean, when you collect new confoundables and put the image in your Register, its satisfying. 

👆 casting a spell

these are just examples of how the screen looked like:

👇 overpowering confoundable

👇Examples of filling up a register👇

but like i said, you have to go places. if you stayed in one place only, you are bound to collect the same Confoundables over and over again and that is a waste of energy.

or losing the confoundable is also a waste of energy.

👇

(as much as I enjoy making this post, editing pictures are torture) 👈Yes. Almost didn't bother inserting!

currently I have Excess Energy from an event I tried joining back in August 2019. but soon after that, I stopped playing. so, i tried using some today as I'm composing this. yes, I am currently outside of my house. coz for some reasons that would help me emptied out my 'storage'. maybe i just need to delete some ingredients. since i'm not advance level yet. I don't need that much stuff anyway. i just want to enjoy collecting Confoundables.

I understand that this game was supposed to make you 'unite' with the other potterhead but I haven't unite with any potterhead here in Brunei. so, it made me wonder, how far will i go with this game.

what about you go for a game?

and for those who played Pokemon Go, would you give Wizards Unite a chance?

comment down below.

🙌🙌🙌

I mean, you can amuse me by answering the question I intended to ask back in 2019 🤡

hahaha wow. this took an hour to edit! dam! I'm hungry now. 

This composing page is lagging a little. I think becoz of the many pictures I uploaded. Or my internet is acting up. 

Either way, I hope you enjoy reading. Becoz this post is a little too late. It's so me posting / talking / wanting something when it's gone 💁💁

Wizards Unite
1:13pm 1st Feb 2022

So, it comes to an end.

this 👆 post was shared today.

I mean, I'm not sad. 😎
I downloaded the game on 20 Jul 2019 (I posted on IG LOL) and actively play until Aug 2019 or so base on what I posted then. I remember actually going around in my car alone and playing it too (don't do this kids!).
I haven't played the game since end of 2020 kali. or maybe even wayy before.
When I downloaded the game the first time, I was on my ip6plus. and the game either crashes alot or when it wasn't crashing, it will heat up my phone so bad that I had to stop playing. It made me think that I needed new phone that is more compatible with the app. 
but when I bought the XSMax, I have problem with my phone service provider There were changes with all the phone service provider in our country (we currently only have 3 and 1 of them is the main phone line, like your house phone line) and my data plan went from unlimited to 25GB a month. Halo? my online usage range from constant scrolling on Instagram and treating Youtube as my audio entertainment. 25GB is not enough.
Wizards Unite is obviously an online game. it's basically PokemonGo but Harry Potter version. and it is heavy. as in its data usage. Seeing how my other internet usage is far more important than playing a game that I literally need to go out and about to play, I stopped.

The first news about it cease operation was shared late last year and I did try to play it one last time but it no longer work for me.

and that is that.

at least merasa jua lah cana rasanya main game macam pokemonGo.

a/n: ok. I just screenshot that second picture and TERfreakedout a little. I didn't see/read that when composing this and scary how similar the writing is with what I just said here. I mean of course its similar, its my thoughts. BUT! the scary part is, I don't remember writing that! this is not the first time too. in real life conversation, I often kana tagur for repeating what I have said before but at the time of kana tagur atu, it was like I'm saying them for the first time. 

Should I get checked? 😂😂
