Mess Chapter 1: First Impressions

[ZOEY'S P.O.V]

Waking up with a headache is easy, especially if you're like me. However, this time though, I found myself in a place where the world was cubic. It seemed like I was in a game where the land was blocks, and everything was cubes. Then, I realized that I was stuck in Minecraftia, and that this was not a dream. Looking back at my experiences in Minecraft, I punched down a few trees, and got some wood and food. How I say it, easy to say then to do, at the very least. I made a pickaxe with a workbench I made and a few sticks, which I also made. I took the workbench and I roamed around for a mountain biome so I wouldn't have to dig underground. I found a cave and I mined some cobblestone so I could make a full set of tools, excluding the hoe, since I wouldn't have to farm in the near future. I went underground and I got lucky by finding some iron ore, in the quantities between 12 and 15. After looking for a while, I went back to the surface, as it was starting to get dark. I mined a hole in the wall and expanded it a bit. I made a furnace, two chests and a bed (I forgot to mention that I killed a few sheep, at around 3 of them). I fell asleep in hopes of being able to get some armor and some diamonds.

The next morning, I found myself waking up quite early as I dug out the cobblestone blocks I had placed. I brought all of my stuff with me, and I chopped down a few more trees for saplings and wood, also apples. I needed apples now so I could get some golden apples later on. Luck was on my side again as I found a fairly large village with two blacksmiths containing iron armor and five diamonds, along with some food (I feel so lucky). I set up base at the top floor of the church, and I looked at the surroundings around me, but I was surprised when I noticed a girl running from a pack of creepers, in around 3 or 4. I took out my bow (traded it for some wheat, which was easy to find), and I shot the creepers, which followed with her looking up at me. I jumped down the ladder, and I went to the girl, as the villagers brought her in to heal her. I took her to the top floor of the church again as I set her in my bed. I gave her some water from a bucket and an apple, as night came early. I fell asleep by the wall, and I had a dream of the girl that I would never forget. She was a survivor, and I knew that.

The next morning, I woke up as my back ached, and I decided to start expanding my 3x3 room. I only had three blocks to walk on, since the other five were taken by chests, furnaces, crafting tables and the bed. I changed it in to a fairly large 9x7 platform out of dirt. It wasn't the best platform, as one would say, but it would do for the time being. I then found the girl waking up to my face, and I smiled as I waved good morning to her. She was shocked and she asked me, “Who are you? Why am I here?” I thought of an answer to that question, and then I replied, “My name is Zoey. What is your name?” She wondered for a minute and replied, “My name is Ayumi, Ayumi Shinozaki.” I realized that I had heard that name before and I asked her, “Who are your friends? Can you name one of them?” She thought back for a minute before replying back, “Naomi Nakashima,” I realized that this was the girl from Corpse Party. I told her, “People made a game about your story. Three games were made, one by one.” She was surprised for a while before replying, “How do we start surviving here? However, I'm sure that the other 8 are around here.” We knew we had to start looking for the others, but somehow her name rang a bell in my head, in something other than the games.

[NAOMI’S P.O.V]

For us, having headaches were rare, but one came this time when we fell onto something. I woke up, and found myself face-to-face with the ground, but this one was cubic and all. I remembered what had happened before I had the goddamned headache. I was playing some new game I just got, with the other eight, as part of a sort of game fiesta after the cultural festival before leaving, but a figure then appeared and threw us into a portal. I looked up and I found myself in the same surroundings as the game I played, and then I noticed the others, unconscious. I woke them up one by one, and I noticed that Ayumi was missing, and it was just the eight of us. We decided to look around to see if we could find Ayumi, and maybe another person, if so. After looking for a while, and getting some basics from Satoshi, we were able to get some basic supplies for a bit of travelling. Looking around seemed easy, but we had limited food, so we had to share it among each of us. After looking for a while (even more), we found ourselves staring at a small village, but with a giant platform of dirt on the cobblestone church. Somehow, Ms. Yui was able to notice Ayumi sitting on the edge of the platform of dirt, looking then noticing us and waving to us. We made it to the church, and we went up the ladder to find a few beds on the dirt platform, and there were chests, like a normal platform. However, there were 10 beds this time, which seemed weird for us, as there were only nine people. Ayumi told us, “I met a person who had found himself here, like us, who goes by the name of Zoey.” The name rang a bell in us, but we did not know who he was. Then, all of a sudden, a boy by the age of 16 or so, came up the ladder and saw us, and then he told us, “Hi and nice to meet you. My name is Zoey, Zoey Zeffrey.” The name sparked something in my head and I asked him, “You mean our former classmate?”

[ZOEY’S P.O.V]


I was surprised at the question, and I realized that it was true. I was their former classmate. However, what was strange was how Seiko and the others were all alive. I remember going to Heavenly Host with them. I remember the charm. I remember suffocation, superhuman speeds, jumps and trash. They were dead all the while, weren’t they? However, before I spoke, I realized that somebody must have revived them, in this case possibly Ayumi. I smiled and I proceeded to start jumping down and go into the mine, with everybody else excluding Ayumi surprised. They opened the chests right before I jumped, got something to dig or mine with, and they went down the ladder and went down the mine. Going down the mine very quickly, we were able to clear out A LOT of area, and we finished it in no time. We got ourselves a lot of resources, and we threw them into the chest. Just then, night started to rise. We fell asleep, and I hoped that there were more survivors. Life wasn’t going to be the ten of us, wasn't it?

English Session on 28th of January (10:30 - 11:30)

Today's English session was fun, at the minimum, because this is my first English class with my new teacher since the IMO camp. Man, it was a really big nightmare, but that's another cookie for a different dip. The English session consisted of mostly presentation of 4/14 people, but for me, it seemed nice and quiet. Do I have to be related to her in any way? No. Why am I related to her in any way? I don't know why. What is her name? I can't tell you her name in any way at all. Ask anybody related to me, such as my classmates from 2K3, and you'll find out who she is. The first two presentations in total, were basic. From what I think, they had very minimal time, so they weren't able to finish their slides so they did it by hand, or by foot :). Anyways, it was overall, good, so nice job to me :)

CORPSE PARTY : CHAPTER 4 : SYMPATHY

B1C04: Sympathy

19 January 2015 at 14:46
[ZOEY'S P.O.V]
Once Sayaka and I reunited with the group, we proceeded with searching for the clues for the only way to get out. As we were walking around the abandoned bomb shelter, I noticed a person sitting by the corridor crying with two others. Ayumi whispered to me and told me that they were the three spirits we ran away from. I knew what to do. I finally understood their situation. I told everyone to step three steps backward, and I proceeded forward, walking towards the three people with a heavy heart. They noticed me walking towards me and I told the three of them, "Please tell me how you are. I want to understand everything. How did you die? I didn't know you were innocent until now. Tell me everything." They came closer to me with nothing in their hands, and I heavily went towards them, and told them that I was sorry for what they had gone through. I never lied to them, and if I did lie, I would have told them. I sat beside them where they were, and I asked them to tell me everything. How their lives were before the incident, how painful the killing was, and how were their lives after the incident. Before they began to tell their story, the others happened to walk by, and see them. I told the three of them, "Don't kill them. We don't want to harm you or threaten you. We just want to know your stories." The other six sat around the three and the three children began to tell their stories.

"We don't remember when, but there was a time when we were captured by a man named Yoshikazu Yanagihori with someone else, and we were brought to the dissection room, the four of us, and the incident happened. From what we know, it only meant two things. Torture and suffering only come to our minds. I don't understand why we have to suffer this way."

I was surprised and I told the girl, "It is okay, Yuki. I understand how you feel. I've been through this before. I know what it feels like to suffer and be tortured. I wish I could do magic, and if I could do it, I would have revived the three of you. The three of you don't deserve to suffer. I'll do my best to revive you. I am so sorry." She smiled and I proceeded to do what I normally did, I smiled and I got up. This day wasn't over. We were only a few steps from the way back. We could not wait, and we would not give up in finding the final piece of the puzzle. We continued looking around the abandoned bomb shelter, and we suddenly noticed a small but very major and useful pattern. There were a few levers around one of the rooms we had found. We tried pulling all the levers at the same time, and a door opened. It took a while to find the door, but in the end, we found the door anyways. It led into a very long hallway which seemed to take hours to cross, but once we reached the end of the hallway, we found ourselves in the final hallway, which had only one lone door in front of the seven of us, and we knew that this was the final actual piece in solving the puzzle of getting home.

Both Satoshi and Ayumi took out two things that made me wonder whether this was the way to obtain the final piece, which is to appease Sachiko. Satoshi held a pouch which he said, had Sachiko's tongue, and Ayumi had a plushie of a cat, which she said was Sachiko's gift from her mother, and we did what we needed to do. We opened the door, and then walked through it, and we were face-to-face with Sachiko herself. It was really a nightmare, as she made us suddenly freeze. We were unable to move, and we could do nothing but watch Sachiko as she started to kill us. She started her final killing spree by targeting Yuka, but I told Sachiko, "Why do you want to kill? Death, murder, hatred and sadness are not things you should have!" Sachiko then unfroze us, and Satoshi started by giving Sachiko the pouch with her tongue, and Sachiko screamed, " E" We were shocked, and Ayumi took out the finale, the cat plushie, and it turned her back to normal, but there was a sudden massive earthquake. We knew we had to run, and there was the way out. We followed the route we had taken earlier, and Yuki suddenly appeared in front of us and said, "Looks like it's over for me, but I know how to get out. Go to the bridges between worlds and jump from it." We knew what it meant, and we knew we had to get out. She also mentioned that seven bells would start ringing, one at a time, and we had to escape before the seventh bell rang. We had to go through many corridors before finally reaching the 'bridge between worlds', which is the bridge connecting the first block and the second block. The seven of us knew that it was final over, and with a happy heart, the seven of us jumped out of the bridge and into the portal home.

It was finally over. We had reached back to Kisaragi Academy. It was hard to accept that we were final home after surviving danger, but we could not accept the fact that we had lost five of our friends; Mayu, Morishige, Seiko, Yoshiki, and Ms. Yui. We knew that they would be surprised, but we were relieved to be home. We packed the bags that were left behind, and right before we left, Ayumi told us, "Make sure you come to school tomorrow, okay?" We nodded and we went back home.

The next morning, we were surprised when we asked our classmates about our five friends. They claimed to not know them, and they never knew such people existed. It looks like there are consequences when something happens. We looked at the picture and sure enough, only four faces were there, with the others blacked out. They were gone. They don't exist. Only we can remember them. I screamed, "Why?!" as I cried.

CORPSE PARTY CHAPTER 3: Silence

[ZOEY'S P.O.V]


The only thing separating the five of us and the other three were corridors and dead ends. This school seemed more like a maze than a school. The only two things we needed to have were patience and silence. However, silence came very rarely, since the girls would keep talking to each other, and I was a little bit irritated, but the thought of hitting and scolding them never came to me. I did not want to be that rude up to the point where I would hit them. We just continued until I realized that something was odd about this place. I turned around and I realized that something was there. I told everybody to follow me as I went to the thing that made me confused. There was not one spirit, but three spirits. The three of them were holding scissors in their hands, and it was really obvious what they were going to do. I told everybody to run, since they were going to kill us.

After a couple of minutes, we outran them and we were in the same hallway the three of us were when we saw Mayu's remains. Satoshi and Yuka were surprised at the remains and asked me whose they were. I replied back, "The girl who's moving," with a heavy tone. They knew what I was talking about and told me, "I'm sorry for you losing Mayu." I felt like I needed to go to the restroom, so I went to the third floor one with the rest. I trembled in fear when I saw what was in the boys' restroom. There was Morishige's corpse on the floor, with his phone in his hand. I took the phone from Morishige's corpse, and I brought the phone outside so the other four of them could see it. I told them, "We lost one more friend," as I showed them the phone. Satoshi noticed that Morishige's phone had recorded something. The five of us watched it and realized something, that Morishige was smashed to death by a guy wielding a sledgehammer, and that the murderer's accomplice was the girl in red. We were shocked and Naomi told us, "Seiko died here too." I felt sorry for Naomi as I told her not to cry.

I told the other four to stay away from me for a while as I went to the second floor, and I wondered the halls. I heard a scream behind me as I was walking, and I found Ayumi, who was chasing me. She asked me, "Why are you like this, Zoey? This is no time to give up! Stop thinking that we'll never make it out! We'll try!" She started crying and I realized that Ayumi was telling the truth. I looked at Ayumi and hugged her as I said, "I'm sorry, Ayumi. It was totally my mistake. I thought that I had no more hope left. Looks like a single strand of hope removed all of that hopelessness, Ayumi. You thought that hope is never lost." She looked up to me and smiled. By then, the other three had arrived, and they looked at us. I smiled, and they gave no response. We continued our long journey.

We bumped into a girl midway and she showed us a look that made me think I knew her. I quickly had an idea, and I muttered, "Naho Saenoki?" I was actually right, and Ayumi asked me on how I knew about Naho. I whispered to her, "Sometimes, when I go into your room, you're so busy looking at Naho's blog on your laptop, right?" Ayumi's jaw fell open, and she then closed her mouth. I asked her, "So how is Sayaka?" She was surprised and asked me of how I knew of Sayaka. I told her, "I know her because she was one of my friends before, and I know you can't get here alone. You need two people to do the Sachiko Ever Charm, don't you? And from what I know, you're from Paulownia Academy, the same school where Sayaka studies." Everybody was surprised and I decided that the six of us (now that Naho has joined us) would split into two groups, Naomi and Yuka will go with Satoshi, and Naho and Ayumi would go with me. Satoshi's group would explore the other building, and my group would explore this building. They headed off as we decided to start from the third floor. We checked the girls' restroom and we saw a secret entrance that Naomi had somehow not noticed before. Naho, after a few minutes, came back with the three of them, and we headed down the ladder.

We found a secret room that a school would not normally have, which was an underground bomb shelter, and it really was a surprise to see this area. I heard a girl screaming and I realized it was Sayaka who was screaming. I needed to split so I could get her without being caught. The other five wandered somewhere else, while I looked for Sayaka. I looked around every room so I could find her. She used to be my best friend too in the four years that I was not with Ayumi. I realized there was a room I missed and I explored the room. The dissection room, as the room was, was filled with the stench of corpses and the sight of blood was very creepy. I saw Sayaka under the dissection table and I managed to get her before anybody else entered the room. When we left the room, Sayaka hugged me and told me, "Thanks for coming back, Zoey. I wish you were still here with me." I was a little confused by that last sentence, and we search for the other five so we could try to get out of here.

After a little bit of searching, we managed to stumble into the other five who started delivering the bad news; Yoshiki and Ms. Yui had died. Looks like we're the only ones who can make it out alive, but we still had hope that we could finally escape from Heavenly Host in peace. Nothing would get in our way this time.

A SIMPLE ACADEMIC GUIDELINE FOR FOUNDATION 1 PROGRAM ONLY

My dear friends,

1.   Welcome
Welcome to the Foundation Program of Kolej PERMATApintar Negara. I am writing this guide based on my own experience in Foundation 1 (1 year), and I also support this guide with the guideline book, which I believe you guys will get on the registration day. I know, some of you are the same age as me, and I hope we can get along.

2.   Introduction to my Batch
My batch consists of the 42 of us, 24 boys and 18 girls. Out of the 42 students in the first Foundation batch, the majority of them are students at the age of 13 years, and there are about 8 students who are 12 years old. One of them is me. We are divided into three classes, K1, K2 and K3. I am in K3. There is no streaming for my batch at this point of time.

3.   Syllabus of Foundation 1 (F1)
The subjects listed below are the subjects which start from Form 4.

3.1.1    Biology
3.1.2    Physics
3.1.3    Chemistry
3.1.4    Sejarah
3.1.5    Perdagangan dan Keusahawanan
3.1.6    Pendidikan Jasmani dan Kesihatan (PJK)

The subjects listed below are the subjects which cover Form 1 to Form 3.

3.1.7    Fundamental Mathematics
3.1.8    Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI)

These subjects have a special syllabus, which is only taught in Foundation.

3.1.9    English (Bridging I and II)
3.1.10  Bahasa Melayu (Penulisan Kreatif dan Komunikasi)
3.1.11  Research and Methodology
3.1.12  Philosophy

The subjects listed are applicable to all Kolej PERMATApintar students.

3.1.16  Self-Development (Jati Diri)
3.1.17  Co-curriculum

4.   Method of Teaching
Our teachers are known as ‘The Instructors’. The word itself gives you a clue on how they will teach. No spoon-feeding and there are very minimal notes given. You’ll understand why. The method of teaching for the Foundation is through lectures, lab works, slide presentations, group works, and websites.

5.   Assessments
There are four exams a year. The grading table is:
Grade
Marks
GPA
A+
95 – 100
4.00

They will display our marks and results at the notice board at the Dewan Serbaguna for every exam (the most stressful time with mixed feelings). You know your ranking in the batch.
For the assessments; some subjects are (60 for exam)-(40 for assignments), and a few subjects are 50-50, and the rest rely fully on assignments and attendance, like Philosophy and Research and Methodology.

6.   Assignments
Assignments include lab reports, pre-tests, post-tests, writing blogs, journals, making parodies, speech choirs, exploraces, making websites, public speaking, show-and-tell, mind maps, inventions and many more.

7.   Class Hours
7.1.1    Monday – The weekly assembly begins at 8:00 in the morning and lasts for 1 hour. The class sessions ends at 4:30 p.m. with two breaks, morning which lasts from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and the afternoon break, which lasts from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
7.1.2    Tuesday to Thursday – The morning assembly lasts from 7:45 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Classes are as above.
7.1.3    Friday – It is similar to 7.1.2, but it finishes at 12:30 for the Friday prayers. Normally, in the afternoon, there are no classes on Friday except for replacement classes or special activities.

8.   Books and Materials
The college provides very minimal textbooks or reference books. In my experience, I had to buy my own revision books for SPM like revision books, ‘mind map’ books, and past-year SPM questions. For Mathematics and Agama, it is best to buy PMR books.
As mentioned above, we have to do a lot of assignments and presentations. Therefore, we need computers (notebooks) to get access with the Internet, for PowerPoint presentations, blog and website entries, and for typing our reports and research.
Normally, since we have to do many mind maps and scrapbooks, I suggest that you bring magic pens, coloured pens, marker pens, coloured paper, and colour pencils to make your presentation interesting.

9.   Conclusion
Actually, my batch has undergone Foundation 1, but the performance is entirely based on our own hard work, effort, and capability. Do not procrastinate in your work like I did, and don’t play games too much, like me. Hopefully this guide will help you in your Foundation 1. Feel free to ask us for help. Don’t hesitate. Good luck!
