Chrono Cross (クロノ・クロス)

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

I have been playing Chrono Cross the past few days (During my free time of course). It’s a Playstation RPG created by Square Co. Ltd (Now known as Square Enix) with a story that builds upon Chrono Trigger. I have not played Chrono Trigger before.

Chrono Cross is a great game, of which I would give it 10/10. I especially love it’s soundtracks, including Radical Dreamers ~Nusumenai Houseki~ and Reminiscing ~Uneraseable Memory~. I believe it has somewhat been one of the influences in my life (Evangelion is another), given that my email is radicaldreamers….@hotmail.com.

Anyway, read more about Chrono Cross here.

Radical Dreamers ~Nusumenai Houseki~ lyrics

Radical Dreamers ~Nusumenai Houseki~

Japanese (Original)

Osanai te ni tsutsunda
Furueteru sono hikari wo
Kokomade tadottekita
Jikan no fuchi wo samayoi

Sagashi tzuzukete kitayo
Namae sae shiranaikeredo
Tada hitotsu no omoi wo
Anata ni tewatashitakute

Toki wa ai mo itami mo
Fukaku dakitome
Keshite yukukedo watashi wa
Oboeteiru zutto

Watashi no mune no oku ni
Itsukaraka hibiite ita
Yotsuyu no shizuku yori mo
Kasukana sasayakidakedo

Itetsuku hoshi no yami e
Tsumugu inori ga
Tooi anata no sora ni
Todoku you ni.

English (Translation)

I’ve followed this far in search of
That glimmering light
Clasped in the hands of a child,
Wandering the brink of time.

I have continued searching for you,
Though I know not your name,
Because I wanted to share
This feeling with you.

Time envelops both love and pain,
Until they fade away.
But I still remember them
And always will.

Though I cannot remember when,
A whisper began echoing
Deep within my heart,
Fainter than drops of evening dew.

May this prayer I spin
Weave through the darkness of the frozen stars
And reach the skies above you,
So far away.

こんちわ。 わたしはイーチーです。

わたしわニーアンポリテクのがくいです。

たんじょぶわごがつみかにちです。18さいです。

わたしのしゅみはじでんしやとアニメとえいがです。

まいにちじでんしやでがにうへいいます。

まいしやうきんようび、ともだちとえいがをみます。

まいしやうどようび、どこへもいけません。なにもいきません。

^ Quite bloody incomplete

I editted this from my Japanese classnotes. Well, it’s actually 80-90% similar. Did this to practice writing.

It’s supposed to be an email introducing yourself to someone, but I took out the email parts.

Chicken

Chicken Nuggets anyone?

I’m glad that mom was watching Jamie’s School Dinners on TV just earlier on. It caught my attention and I stayed for about 10 minutes (Well spent) watching it. I didn’t know that Chicken nuggets had contained so much salt, sugar and some *unwanted* substances in it, and given if it was the cheaply manufactured ones, they may even add in other chemicals to ‘cover’ the taste. I’m not going to touch chicken nuggets ever.

Chicken Nuggets
A chicken nugget is a piece of chicken, either whole or composed from a paste of finely minced meat or chicken skin, which is then coated in batter or breadcrumbs before being cooked.
Source: Wikipedia

I did a search on Jamie’s School Dinners and got to the site. It’s pretty interactive with a couple of nice links. I also found episodes 1 - 4 on Bittorrent. They can be found here . This means that I don’t have to stay up to 12am just to watch it :)
Jamie’s School Dinners’ about Jamie Oliver who busts a gut persuading schools to ditch the processed, ready-made junk the students are used to eating, and replace it with fresh, tasty, nutritious food, prepared from scratch every day. In other words, scrap Junk food and replace it with healthy, delicious food.
I hope I will learn alot from this TV documentary. I consume too much Junk Food :/
