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? 😂😂

Back to Hogwarts Day

First composed: 03 Sep 2018 10pm


I didn't realized this until the day I posted my nephews Math X HarryPotter Day pictures.

Look at these two young wizards! #backtohogwartsday #01sep #slytherin #ravenclaw #green #blue #iamthecoolestbabu😂

A post shared by AzNuur Awang (@vengeanceawg) on Sep 3, 2018 at 7:16am PDT

My brother texted me on 25th Aug asking me to help with his sons' school project.
themed: Harry Potter.

He said the project is for the coming Monday 27th Aug.

So, I helped by sending pictures (see below)

by this point, I was actually angan2 kan buat kan wand. but since last minit, I didn't say anything.

by Monday night, i texted, "hows the nephews' project?"

he said it was actually for the coming Saturday, 1st Sep.

Suspen.

but now that I have time, I told him that I will make them a wand each. coz I thought it'd be a fun project.

So, I went and bought the supplies.

I even went and eat at a sushi place just so I could take the one-time used chopstick home. ('tapau' was my choice of word that day LOL). of course I cleaned them before hand.

took me 5 hours to finish and a full day to dry the paint.

it was worth it.

I was so pleased with the outcome.

the third short wand is for my niece.

I didn't think it would come out like it did.

I was so blown.

like,

So Saturday happened and I only remembered to ask late Sunday night.

my brother said; teachers were impressed. they thought the boys bought the costume. the older one said his mom made the robe and the wand is hand-made.

I also made them a badge with the house of their choice. the oldest picked Slytherin coz he wanted snake (i think he already made a plan with his friends) and the little one wanted blue, Ravenclaw.

pictures used for of the badges. but no picture of actual badge. 

coz I'm a terrible blogger.

lol

older brother

little brother

aren't they adorbs?!

I even made them watch the first Harry Potter movie. but ended up cFatzeem saja yg stay meliat smpi habis.

hashtag trainthemyoung

LOL

Turned out 1st September is the official Back To Hogwarts Day. and now I understand why my nephews' school decided to do their theme on that day. I also thought, the teacher who suggested that theme must be a Potterhead. LOL

No matter, I'm glad to help my nephews with their projects. It made me realize I can do crafty thing. I mean I always know I can, but that tiny validation and appreciation of my work made me believe that I truly can.

So, thank you brother for the opportunity.

this little project inspired me to become a wand maker.

🤗

. . .

A/N: apologies for the bad quality of pictures. especially the one with grey blocks. My room was super messy at that point of my life hence the grey blocks. I promise my life is starting to get less cluttery now. I'm learning and reminding myself to take proper pictures for blogging in the future. #hwaiting

Broken Wing

I bought this precious Snitch bracelet at Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studio Japan.

I. love. it.

but not even a month after that, and only been wearing it for a couple of times (I think), one of the wing broke.

Kan nangis pun ada jua but I was at the office and to keep the pieces save, I put them in the little container of knic knacs I had with me at that time.

Knowing myself, I wasn't surprised that it took me at least another month to fix it.

I just attached the wing to the snitch using super glue.

and after that, I don't dare to pakai, coz I know its more fragile now and I don't want to risk it.

Precious little thingggg.

why you soo preciousssss??

Jadi perhiasan saja lahhh..

Throw Back Saturday

throw back to 10th Sep 2016

welp.

Here it is

a short clip of me

fangirling

when entering Hogmeade

#Iwanagoback

edit: wow. that uploaded so fast and I am impress! too bad I have no other video to upload.

. . .

Japan Trip Day 2.0

Let's sub-title this as PICTURES ARE NOT ENOUGH!

and also

SUPER LONG POST

and

I WILL MAKE YOU JELES!! Wehwehweh
. . .

composing this in public coz, my brother.

*rolled eyes*

So, day 2 in Japan was *jeng jeng jeng*

MY BIRTHDAY!!

and I screenshot this


(say goodbye to the 'Slide to Open' features)

lupa ku if this was taken when I woke up or when we're ready to go to Universal Studio Japan.

pokoknya, aku excited and can not wait for Harry Potter!

We bought tickets on the spot. We were supposed to buy them online but for some hassle reason, I decided we didn't. yatah kami bali time di sana sja.
The Q was pretty long but the service was kinda fast, so we weren't there for even 30 mins.
I guess it was just my birthday. (hahaha)

Since it was my birthday, Bazilah actually agree to just go straight to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter part of the USJ.
we actually got turned away once we got to the entrace.
*nangis*

I read somewhere that you need to book an entry tix (it's free).
the reason being for them to control the number of people flocking into HP world.
So, on we went looking for a certain ticket kiosk (as directed by one of the HP helpers).
We got lost.
and my impatient ass almost cried when we couldn't find the ticketing kiosk.
hahah seriously
but once we found it, there were a lot of Qs (coz a lot of ticket kiosks!) and before my ass could properly panic, there were a lot helpers there (coz everything is in Japanese and I was scared of not being able to obtain that entrance tix) and before (once again) my ass could cry, we were helped and we were on our way back to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.



took this picture coz at first I thought I could keep it but at the entrance, the ticket person ambil balik this tix (instead of durang punch a hole on it or something).
note: Eventhough on the ticket it says 10:30 till 11:30, we actually stayed inside Hp world right up until 4pm or something. they didn't shoo you away or anything if you overstayed.

so, it was a long way away before you could see the Hogsmeade gate.

i found a lamp that actually reminded me of Narnia

(and this pathway is not even halfway to the park!)

and Mr. Weasley's magical car turned beast.

I had a video when I was entering Hogsmeade but I don't know if the internet would upload it today.
(i tried again on the 7th Oct, but video still refuses to load -__- )

I don't have picture of the gate.

once we masuk that place, GAH!
words really inda dpt explain how I felt
this is like my entire teenage years bursting out and greeting the place
everything was like a dream.
the feeling of you wanting to take pictures of everything but you also want to just 'be there'.
like you wish your eyes can just capture everything for you and auto transfer those images from your brain to your phone.
you know that feeling?!

but lucky I was rational and took as many pictures/videos when I could. or remembered to. LOL


of course, there were things yg I didn't take picture of.
partly because I was lazy to snap them. HAHAHA
I mean, COME ON!
I was there in person!
and as much as I want to share with people about my experience (being physically there),
there's just so much photo or video I could share.

But
in all seriousness,
I was just ...IN AWE!
like, I WANA LIVE THERE!

I wonder how the workers feel being there all the time?
I mean, I could die happy there (hahaha)


I'm gonna let the pictures do the talking next. (with captions if I could think of any xP)


Butterbeer (non-alcoholic it says) tasted like a dream~~~~




(trying on my wand, "Give it a wave" Mr Ollivander said)


the female part of the 'Public Convenience'. 
Thats what it says outside the restroom.



If Brunei is hot, Japan at that time was WAY hotter. like, daym!


Coz my brain said, 'Pick your nose, it'd be hilarious!'


Trying on my new move at one of the alley



'Death is just the beginning' The Mummy. not a HP quote.

that maybe the last picture I took from HP world but I will be back in two years time to take some more!! (InsyaAllah~~)

. . .

I tell you, we were already tired from the previous day that by the time we walked out of HP, we didn't have enough energy to play other rides. 
Seriously!
ahaha

So what we did was that, we just walked around USJ.
its definitely bigger than the one in Singapore, thats for sure.
but both still give me that awesome feelings for just being inside the park.

I managed to play the Flying Dinosour, from the Jurassic Park part of USJ.



a very awesome 'flying' roller coaster.

cBuzz didn't join me. So I went solo.

and I could've moved along the Q just fine but I was stopped twice coz I was using a 'headscarf' and this Flying Dinosour ride does not allow people wearing anything that is loose and one of those things include 'scarf'.
Thus, being the strict rule follower that they are, they stopped me twice, trying to explain to me in English that I need to use a certain jacket (that actually was supposed to be used during water ride).
Of course I don't have picture for that coz I actually left my bag with cBuzz. I only had my hand towel with me at that time.
Anyway, I don't know how long I was there 'Q-ing' but once I got on the ride, I understand why they were very strict. the moment before the ride get off, our seats was pulled up from the feet, so we were actually in a 'flying' position.
and the ride was super fast, it actually go up and down, side ways and twisting around. Lucky I didn't feel like puking. I saw mostly sky. a section of the coaster track goes inside a tunnel! 
I was mostly laughing. ahahah coz I enjoyed it so much! I screamed certain area, of course but mostly was feeling so giddy.
hahaha crazy

Lapas tu, we were supposed to Q and watch the Under World show but Buzz wasn't feeling it so we just continued to walk around the park.

I didn't take picture but from the moment we stepped onto the Universal Cit Station, there were a lot of cosplayers. All universal movies' characters of course.
there were; 
1. Sexy Police girlfriend + Prisoner boyfriend, 
2. hot Sexy female/male SWAT team, 
3. Maids, 
4. Minions (Minions are the craze there), 
5. Sexy (stripper like) mom with her kids,
6. Sexy army, 
and 
many many MANY more!
most people actually went there dressing (what we call here in Brunei when people dress similar in color/pattern) Sekayu.
it was all very interesting to watch.

I might not play all the ride outside of Harry Potter world but the scenery in USJ is entertaining enough man! like, daayyymmmmmmm!

hahahah

I think we left USJ at around 5pm kali and we bought dinner before we went back to our hostel.

got lost once though before we finally made our way to rest our feet a bit at our hostel's lounge before we made our way to Osaka Castle.

. . .
