Come on, PYRO! Get REAL!

Okay, actually I don't have any intention of making this post AT ALL (I might tell you). But I have to make this post since my previous posts about family aren't so related to 'Family' and yada... yada...

Meh, I'm so bored today. I'm in a BAD MOOD and I feel like burning everyone's houses!

Or so I thought...

Before I start, let me introduce my two posts about 'Family' before. First, I wrote about Lu Xun's father as wrtitten on a FanFiction. Hey, I'm still confused until now, you know... haven't found the answer yet. And my second post is about Lu Xun as my sworn 'brother'. (AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!! Why should I use apostrophe?! For the love of God, these apostrophes are so damn boring!!)

My family, eh? I have one father and one mother (Of course, you silly!) Yeah, and I have one smartass-brother of mine... (Hey, he's coming!)

Weeeeeelllll....

Starts from my dad. Well, my dad is a man of integrity. He's strict and discipline. So, that's why some people say that I'm a bit coward, especially about breaking rules. Well, in my family, we have so many rules, but that's what disciplines us. Let me tell you something, !I'M NOT A COWARD JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BREAK RULES! Anyway, he’s a great father for me. There’s one thing that I’m very grateful about him. Let me tell you the story.

One day on 26^th on September…

My classmates had planned to play truant (crazy idea eh?). I, as a bit of lazy student, so wanted to do so too! I asked some of my friends and yes, their father allowed them to do it (some of their parents even suggested them!). And I thought “Well, if my friend’s parents allowed them, then why shouldn’t my father?”

Unfortunately, my father didn’t allow me to. This was our conversation (of course I didn’t speak English! I translate it!)

Me: Hey, pops. Can I do something tomorrow?

My dad: If the world doesn’t end tomorrow, so yeah, you may.

Me: Well, this is ACTUALLY my FRIENDS’ plan (I emphasized on the word ‘ACTUALLY’ and ‘FRIENDS’)

My dad: Yes…yes… what the heck are they planning?

Me: It’s about tomorrow. Well, since we all are so depressed with the school stuffs, can we… ummmm… well… play truant?

My dad: (glared at me with a glare that was worse from death) FOR GOD’S SAKE, PYRO!!! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE MUSTN’T DO THAT!

Me: But, pops, listen! Everybody do it!

My dad: Everybody but not YOU! NO, forget about the plan and tomorrow you should go to school per usual!

Me: What if all of my friends are all absent?

My dad: I will buy a PS3 for you!

(Nah, this conversation is too exaggerated. I mean, my father didn’t say ‘what the heck’ of ‘for God’s sake’. Oh, and my dad doesn’t call me ‘PYRO’ anyway)

And what happened the next day? All of my friends were absent, all but me, Celia, Steven Tam2, and Steven Tok. My homeclass teacher was mad at them (I could saw steam came out from her ears. Hey, don’t tell her!) and it looked like she would punish them.

As for three of us… our Mathematic, Physic, Chemistry score got an additional points! We were so lucky!

Well, if it wasn’t for my dad, I wouldn’t get some addition points, plus, I would be punished.

That’s about my dad!

Okay, now is my mom. She is like an ordinary mom. She is a house-wife but she has been a university teacher, but now not anymore. My mother isn't as busy as my father. In fact, she has a plenty of time to share with us since she doesn't work. Just like an ordinary mom, she's kind and helpful. There’s a funny story about me and my mom. It was when I had my blood-type tested. My mom is A when my father is O, so they expect me to have either A or O

My mom: I wonder what your blood-type is…

Me: (nonchalant answer) I’m not…

(Some minutes later…)

Doctor: Ms. Pyro? (Actually he said ‘Ms. Devina?’)

Me: Yes?

Doctor: This is the result.

(I took the paper and read it. My mom hadn’t read it, though…)

My mom: What’s your blood-type, Pyro?

Me: AB

My mom: WHAT AB? YOU’RE JOKING! I MEAN YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO HAVE AB TYPE! YOU SHOULD HAVE A OR O! OH NO! YOUR FATHER WOULDN’T BELIEVE THIS! WHOSE DAUGHTER YOU’RE, PYRO?! FROM THE BEGINNING OF BOTH MY FAMILY LINE AND YOUR FATHER’S FAMILY LINE, THERE AREN’T ANYONE THAT WAS BORN PYROMANIAC BUT YOU! AND NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME YOUR BLOOD TYPE IS AB! (My mom talked so fast that I need sometimes to understand all. Sometimes I wonder why she didn't out of her breath)

Me: Come on, mom. Of course I’m joking. Mine is O.

My mom: (sighed in relief)

(Once again, my mom doesn’t call me ‘Pyro’ and she doesn’t talk that fast, you know…)

Hehehe… my mom is funny, don’t you think?

--

Okay, next is my brother. He’s a smartass and his hobby is pretending that he knows everything when he doesn’t (hahaha… I’m joking). He always talks sarcastically without thinking that the way he speaks might not be pleasant to the other. Anyway, although he’s a SMARTASS, he’s really SMART too! He often gets good score on his test. Sometimes, I ask him for help for some lesson, especially Physic. Somehow, he manages to help me.

As usual, there’s a funny conversation between me and him. This conversation was when he showed mw the game Dynasty Warriors for the first time (hey, I can’t be separated with that game, you know…)

Me: Wow, this game looks cool!

My bro: Thought you would like. Okay, before you play, select the character that you want to play as.

Me: Who’s the strongest?

My bro: This one.

Me: Ugh… I doubt he’s the strongest.

My bro: Okay, how about this?

Me: Nah, this guy's ugly! And what a long beard!

My bro: How about this? This is my favorite character.

Me: Who the hell he was?! A freak?!

My bro: Grrrrmmm… this is the last! (this time, he showed a female character)

Me: Not so strong, I think…

My bro: ENOUGH! CHOOSE BY YOURSELF!

Me: Wait. This girl’s cute. And, she looks strong too! (point at a character ‘you-know-who’)

My bro: Huh? Which one? Lu Xun? A girl? Are you insane?! This is a boy!

Me: She’s a girl! Haven’t you noticed her face and clothes?!

My bro: Just because he looks a bit feminine, doesn’t mean she’s a girl!

Me: Prove it, then.

My bro: Okay.

(He then chose Lu Xun as the player and began to play. That’s when I heard ‘her’ voice in the game and yeah, that ‘she’ is actually ‘he’)

My bro: What have I told you?

Me: Okay… okay… I admit defeat!

My bro: You dumbass...

Two stubborn smartasses met and that was what happened… (Wait, I’m not a smartass!)

The last (and the least) is me, my bro, and Einstein. Not the real Einstein. It's just a Einstein-robot

Okay, that’s about my family. I mean, my REAL family that have blood-bonds with me!

Thanks for reading!

And That's Why I'm a PYROMANIAC

This post is dedicated to Evita. She wrote on her post that a family could be someone who is closest with us, whether that person is tied on blood relation or not. Great post! You should read her post!

Okay, that's where I get the idea...

Guess who's my 'family'...?
.
..
...
....
Good guess! My family is FIRE!
....
...
..
.
Of course not... =P Although, yes, I love FIRE.

Okay, a little hint... Look at this picture.
Get any idea? No? Oh, man! You're all hopeless!
My 'family' is, the WU KINGDOM! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Hmmm... but, well, you know... not all of them. As I've promised, I will tell you my 'brother' from this game.

My 'brother' is... (ARGGGHHHH!!! This apostrophe again!) Guess who!
Huh? NONE of you know? Well, my brother is as pyromaniac as me. Oh, correction. He's far more pyromaniac than me.

He's... Lu Xun!

o.O
O.o
O.O
@.@

Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?! If I think he's my brother, so what?

Okay, let me explain, then.

Lu Xun is the coolest character in Dynasty Warriors series, you of all people should have known that! His Speed point is always be the best above all character. In DW4, he has an impressive Defense point, while in DW5, his Attack point is beyond average. In DW3, DW4, and DW5 he wields twin sword which are so cool and fast. As always, Chibi picture!!! Lu Xun from DW 4. He looks so cute, doesn't him?

Lu Xun in Dynasty Warriors is the youngest character (apart from Xiao Qiao). He's only 17 (historically incorrect). But still, I often wonder why KOEI makes Lu Xun so young? That's beyond my knowledge...

Okay, let's down to the business. Why I think Lu Xun is cool? Look at this picture...

It's Lu Xun and Gan Ning. Look, Lu Xun is busy studying while Gan Ning is just yawning and soon falls asleep. They are completely laid back. Lu Xun is diligent and hardworking. He's a student after all... No, there's nothing wrong with the grammar. I use present tense because he IS really a student in the GAME. As in the REAL history, I don't know very well. I just know that he was a strategist of Wu.

Okay, the next reason is that he's (and was, I mean, in the real history too) very courteous, humble, and respectful toward his superiors. Okay, that's mean, if he lived in our times, he would be a polite student who respectful toward his teachers. Well, to be honest, we as a students sometimes don't obey our teachers. From him, I learn that we should be respect toward the old.

I hope his movie will make you easier to understand.

The man with a high ponytail is Lu Meng, he's Lu Xun's teacher.

Oh, and he will try anything to not let his superiors, especially his teachers, down. Take a look at this video!

The man with a long hair is Zhou Yu, another Lu Xun's teacher. That's mean Lu Xun has 2 teachers.

Next, he's so humble and patient (have I mentioned this before?). Let me tell you a story about this.

As Lu Xun was a fairly young officer, many doubted his capabilities as strategist. Liu Bei was after revenge for the death of his brother, Guan Yu, who had been defeated by Lu Meng at Fan Castle. Lu Xun was able to see that the Ruler of Shu was blinded by vengeance, therefore the young strategist was able to come up with a suited plan for the situation.
Liu Bei's large army had camped at Yi Ling waiting for the Wu to charge. Lu Xun knew Liu Bei's plan and decided to counteract this by merely waiting for the perfect opportunity to utilise his plan fully. Lu Xun ordered his troops to wait until he gave further orders. Many officers of Wu challenged Lu Xun about his ideas, but Lu Xun remained calm against the hostility and his chance to strike Liu Bei soon arrived.
Shu troops were losing morale as they were hot and restless. Even though knowing it would leave the camp suspectable to fire, Liu Bei moved the Shu camps towards the forest for shelter from the sun. Lu Xun was waiting for this moment to arrive, and soon ordered a fire attack against Liu Bei. The attack was launched by Zhu Ran, and Liu Bei's troops were decimated.Liu Bei decided it was better to retreat than face Wu now.

Source HERE!

Well, well, well, there's a quite interesting story about it. I read the novel and yes, many officers of Wu doubted his ability. When Lu Xun was appointed as a commander at Yi Ling, most of them were disappointed. One of them named Zhou Tai. At first, he disagreed that the Emperor pointed Lu Xun as the commander. This what he said. "Why did our lord make a scholar the First Marshal? Now East Wu is lost!" In the other word, he belittled Lu Xun. It was correct, though. Lu Xun was still young and inexperienced that time.
Anyway, what happened in the end? Look at this video...

The man with a long sword that looks like katana is Zhou Tai.
In the end, Zhou Tai had seen how Lu Xun devised all the strategies and he respected him since then.

When Sun Quan, the Wu Emperor, received a report about how the generals refused to follow Lu Xun's order because of his young age, Sun Quan asked Lu Xun after he returned (and of course bring victory to them). This is the conversation:

Sun Quan: "Why did you not report to me right away about the generals' disobeying military orders?"
Lu Xun: “I receive great kindness from the country and have been given a position beyond my abilities. Moreover, out of the generals in question, some were the heart and spirit of the state, some fought as her teeth and claws; others were responsible in the building of the country’s foundation in some other way. They were all important and talented people of the country on whom the country relies. Although I have only mediocre qualities, I seek to imitate Xiangru and Kou Xun’s putting up with and working with their colleagues, for the well-being of the state.”

Source HERE!

Awesome answer...

The next cool thing about Lu Xun is... he's cool. What's more? I mean, I don't know whether he was really cool in the real history but in DW5 he's so damn cool!!! Look at this video!

The man in the green clad is Guan Ping. Who the heck is he?! Let's just say he's Lu Xun's rival from Shu. Anyway, Guan Ping exaggerates to much when he says "Once I have avenged my father, this world shall return to order!". yes, Lu Xun DID kill his father. But they were enemies, weren't they? And since Guan Ping says that, is that mean once he killed Lu Xun, China will stop the war? Is that mean Lu Xun brings the chaos to the land? What a bullshit...
But hey, don't give a damn about Guan Ping. Just look how Lu Xun dodges all Guan Ping's attack. He's so agile and fast (and cool...)

The next reason is...
Dammit! Actually i don't want to tell you this. But it seems I have no choice. You can just look at the movie here and you'll understand everything...

Find any clue? No? Oh CRAP! Should I explain it to you?
Well, as what Zhu Rong (the amazon warrior) says, Lu Xun is cute. That's it. just as simple as cake. Yes, yes, Lu Xun is cute, isn't him? Although I'm SO sure that he wasn't cute in the real history. That's why I use Simple Present Tense (may I repeat). Sadly, why does Lu Xun look like a nerdy dumbass there? Well, that just makes him cuter, doesn't it? I absolutely agree with Zhu Rong when she says "Well, aren't you a cute one?". But I disagree when she says "I don't suppose you can fight." Actually, Lu Xun'd better says "Just because I'm cute, doesn't mean I can't fight!" And note that Lu Xun says "When I fight I turn into a raging fire!" Heck... what a way for Lu Xun to show his 'manliness'... Anyway, this cutscene is hilarious!

And the last (and the least) is he's a pyromaniac too! Well, actually the reason why I become a pyromaniac is him and him alone. I started to be a pyromaniac when I saw this cutscene.

When I saw this, I was thinking "OMG... Lu Xun is so cool with the fire." or "how cute a boy playing with fire..." And I was then thinking that if FIRE is cool too! That's why now I'm started to love fire and...

THAT'S WHY I'M A PYROMANIAC!

But, hey! I'm happy being a pyromaniac, you know...
Well, you might not believe it but this is true! Really!
Now, I called him the 3P. What's 3P? 3P is:
PRODIGY (This is quite obvious. Lu Xun, although he was still young, had shown amazing talent.)
PYROMANIAC (MWAHAHAHA.... Some day Lu Xun and I will be arsonist! And I will burn your house so prepare yourself! )
PRETTY BOY (This what I think. Because, when I played this game for the first time and I saw Lu Xun, I thought he was a girl! That's not my fault! Look at his clothes!)

Just to let you know, Lu Xun (from the game of course! Not from the real history!) and I have sworn an oath of brotherhood.

Lu Xun: Huh? Really? Since when?
Me: Since I found out that you're a boy and not a girl.
Lu Xun: I'm not a boy! I'm a MAN!
Me: Okay, okay, bro... you're a man. But a feminine one...
Lu Xun: (Throws tantrum)

Hehehe... Well, awesome of a brother, isn't it? Lu Xun and fire both rocks!

Anyway, Lu Xun from the picture is DW4 Lu Xun. Lu Xun from the video is DW5 Lu Xun. Lu Xun in my previous post (short-haired and wear no hat) is DW6 Lu Xun. However, from DW3 to DW6, he's still cool as usual, kicking ass through and through. From the beginning of the series, Lu Xun is always so girly for an unknown reason. In DW6, KOEI makes him more manly and I think it's a futile effort since he's still girly...

----

How about the rest of the Wu officers?
Of course they are my family too! But still, Lu Xun is the 'closest' among all!

WU CONQUER ALL!
AND LU XUN ROCKS!
AND FIRE RULES ALL!

~Lu Xun shall fall when the hell freeze over...~

Disclaimer: None of those works are mine. They're not mine. Don't sue...

Note for Ma'am Ing: Once again, ma'am. I have the same problem. This time, I write about Lu Xun (Well, you know, just a character game) as my sworn 'brother'. I think he's like a part of my family so yeah. I hope this post would be counted too.

GULLIVER (?) GOES TO CHINA!

Yes, read the title again…

And again…

And again…

What’s wrong with the title, eh? Everything seems alright…

Okay, let me tell you then:

Hehehe… Don’t you think the title is funny? Gulliver never went to China, right?

BUT THAT’S THE TRUTH, EVERYBODY!!! (grin) Let me tell you the story!

---------------

On 4^th of June 2007, Gulliver went to China. Ummm…. I mean a ‘magical’ China where everything seemed to small for a normal human such as Gulliver.

Hmmm… let’s see what was there. China isn’t as small as Indonesia after all. So, there must be something interesting there…

Okay, first of all, Gulliver went to… ummm… it seems Gulliver has forgotten the name of the place. Probably it was Gui Lin, the Thousands Mountains. Still, Gulliver wasn’t too sure of that.

Note: Hey, look at the photo. Okay, do you think Gulliver really looks like that? Well, just…just simply think the person there is Gulliver we all know and love, kay?

Well, let’s not waste our time here. Somehow, Gulliver found a time machine there and…

SWOOOSH!!!!

… Gulliver was transported to the time of Ancient China. It was perhaps about 20 centuries ago. Heck, now Gulliver had to find the way home…

Gulliver: Hmmm… so Gui Lin really has a mystical power, eh?

Okay, the first to be seen was a lake. On the side of the lake were some buildings, probably a town. Well, Gulliver hoped that the people there could help, so yeah.

Finally, Gulliver arrived on the town, but most of it was a palace. (Somehow, Gulliver found it funny to see the tiny people, but Gulliver didn’t intend to harm them). Hey, don’t you realize something? There were some tiny trees, but there were also some giant trees. Since the giant trees were so common, Gulliver picked the tiny tree instead, as a souvenir, of course. (And Gulliver still has it until now!)

Then, Gulliver continued walking and finally reached the palace! I mean, Gulliver finally get so close with the palace. All of the people there were scared stiff. The soldiers brandished their spears and swords, but they knew their weapons were too small for the giant human. Their legs were shaking like jelly. Gulliver was, absolutely, dumbfounded here.

Soldier: “Yikes! Giant! Ghost! Help! AHHHHH!!!!”

Gulliver: “Whoa! Calm down people! I don’t mean you any harm.”

The soldiers lowered their weapon. The commander of the troops approached Gulliver.

Commander: It is in our concern about where you want to go.

Gulliver: Ummm… well, you might not believe me. But listen. Once again, I’m lost and ended up in this very place and time. Could you please show way to get back to year 2007?

The commander and his troops exchanged confused glance and they whispered to each other. The commander finally spoke up.

Commander: Well, you may meet His Highness, the Emperor, he might know how to get your back.

Gulliver: Thanks!

Then, the commander entered the castle and soon, he exited with the Emperor with him. (The castle was so small and Gulliver couldn’t enter). Gulliver saluted and the Emperor saluted back. Well, of course Gulliver told the problem to the Emperor. The Emperor nodded in understanding.

Emperor: I understand, Gulliver. Alright. We are willing to help you.

Gulliver: Thank you, Your Excellency.

Then, Gulliver, the Emperor, and his entourage started their journey. There, they found a great building called ‘The Great Wall’.

Gulliver: What’s that, Your Highness?

Emperor: This building called “the Great Wall”. Our ancestors from Qin Dynasty built it.

Gulliver: Yeah, that’s great. (To be honest, Gulliver thought that the building was too small)

Emperor: However, many people died there.

Then, they finally arrived on the twin temple. There, the Emperor told a hermit the problem and asked how to bring Gulliver back.

Emperor: Shi-fu, is there any way to teleported Gulliver back to the year of 2007?

Hermit: yes…yes… of course it is. Go to a place called Forbidden City and you will find the answer

(As usual, a hermit is always mysterious, don't you think?)

After getting a clue from the hermit. They walked together to a place called ‘Forbidden City’. (It was really exist, you know?). Before that, since Gulliver felt a bit thirsty, they walked to a falls and drunk the fresh crystal clear water.

They finally reached the Forbidden City.

Gulliver: Why is it called forbidden?

Emperor: That’s because the palace was so great and there was even a city there. And now, no one was permitted to get into there.

Gulliver shrugged. Soon after, a beam appeared from the ground and…

SWOOOSH!!!!

…Gulliver back to 2007.

The journey was really fun. Gulliver finally decided to leave China. After striking a pose on a gate, Gulliver left the place.

---------------

Okay! That’s about “Gulliver Goes To China”

Okay, let me tell you something....

Gulliver there... is ME!

(And I'm still wearing that funny hat of mine, but I really like it, you know...)

MWAHAHAHA!!! Surprised? Well, yeah, that’s why Gulliver there was a girl. Well, most of it was just a crap (especially about the time machine in Gui Lin).

Of course I never be teleport to 20^th century

And of course I never meet any Emperors of Ancient China

And of course I never drink in water from a falls

And most of all, I never think Great Wall is small!

Okay, let me tell you the true story. I went to China in December 2007. I stayed in Shen Zhen. There was a place called “Splendid of China”. My family and I spent a day there. The place was filled with the tiny artificial buildings of Ancient China. That was why I looked like Gulliver there. I’m really excited there since I’m a bit of Ancient Chinese History freak. I like the place so much!

Okay, nothing more to tell.

Oh, and Gulliver says you should go there! It was really fun, you know!
