Inochigake Hekireki's Facebook Page!

I recently created a page for Inochigake Hekireki on Facebook right here (Just click, it will open in a new window):

Just two likes for now, but it's okay. The mountain will slowly be climbed! :P

So for newcomers wondering who InochigakeHekireki is....

• He is a human being (like duh hahah)
• He loves Touhou, and hence his art in covers are always influenced by Mamizou Futatsuiwa.
• His most famous cover is Marukaite Chikyuu (Malaysian Version)
• Tries hard to survive with a sub-par microphone
• From Borneo, more precisely Sarawak, Malaysia

He loves creating games and directing storylines - and hence he creates Warcraft III maps via Worldedit under the alias of Shodaimehs. He is not a scriptor, but manages to portray the stories via imagination and creativity. Besides that, he also makes a visual novel "Serenity" and another one which is predicted to be a big hit when it is released: "Edo kara Koto no Monogatari" / The legend of Koto from Edo which can be seen as below (pictures only for now! the project is on hiatus now though).

So this is Edomonogatari - the theme of the game is black-and-white with only a few prominent colors to symbolize the important stuff. The visual novel is made by using Novelty. InochigakeHekireki made this game, inspired by the many anime and manga he has read. 

• His favorite manga type is Horror and Guro. His favorite mangakas are Junji Ito, Kazuo Umezu and Shintaro Kago. 
• InochigakeHekireki is often defined as a weird person for his interests as above ^
• He is born on the year 1993 and will complete his Bachelor of Engineering studies (Electrical and Electronics) at the end of year 2015. 
• If everything goes smoothly, he will work as a graduate trainee in Intel, Penang as of 2016.
• InochigakeHekireki is always a Shinpachi character. Not in terms of STRAIGHTNESS/NANDEYARE-ness but his glasses. He sometimes makes fun of his glasses by saying that his glasses are the parasite (himself) and the body is the human host.
• He loves cooking and baking, and has baked some beautiful stuff he himself didn't even notice he was capable of.

Above are some pictures from his Facebook account of what he makes. 

• He has 3 other siblings, an elder brother and two elder sisters. They pamper and spoil him very much.
• He has a weak spot for animals, especially dogs and cats.
• His favorite staple ingredient and food are potatoes. He never has the potato section of his pantry empty. 
• He has a Youtube Account, but that should be obvious by now.

Chocolate Tiramisu Recipe

Backstory

Sometimes when I am down (mostly a week or so before freaking valentines day), I just need something to maybe "Pick me up" and make me experience a haven, a sanctuary of escapade from everything else that just "let me down".

Tiramisu is the perfect dessert for that, as it literally means "pick me up"! I kinda went the kinda vegan way (no eggs, only milk), as the recipe does not contain eggs nor do they contain mascarpone. Also, I dislike Alcohol and Caffeine, and so Rum and Coffee/Expresso was not something I would love to incorporate into something that I want to "pick up".

What to Expect

Well, you should not be expecting the flavors of rum and caffeine which I feel is some sort of delicacy, or something of an acquired taste that my tongue does not respect well. The cream will not have hints of eggs or mascarpone either, so that means that the tiramisu will be far softer than any that you have ever tasted before. It tasted like heaven for me, so everything is sort of going great for me.

Ingredients
Part A: The Bases
a) Lady Fingers (Or you know, sponge fingers where they say it differently)
b) Hot Chocolate
c) Water

You might want to make enough brew of the hot chocolate so that you can easily just dip the lady fingers in, the rest of them you can drink later on, so there is really no wasting going on.

Part B: The Cream
a) Thickened Cream (Half the bottle)
b) Milk (Full cream is better, but yeah you get the idea - 1/4 of the bottle)

In the video, I used one whole bottle of thickened cream and so I put in half the amount taking the bottle by size. I realized it was too much and so half the bottle is actually enough.

c) Mixture of Cacao Powder and Icing sugar. ( 1/4 of each which contributes to half a cup )

---

Procedure
Part A: The Bases
a) Brew the hot chocolate by boiling water in a pan and then stirring in the hot chocolate until mixed well.
b) When it starts to boil, take it off and let it rest.

Part B: The Cream
a) Pour the thickened cream into a mixing bowl and add milk.
b) Add in the mixture of cacao powder and icing sugar and stir to mix.
c) Now, beat/whip the batter in an electric mixer at medium speed until the batter has a consistent color.

If you dont have an electric mixer you will have a horrible time and a muscular arm by the time you finish!

d) Once the color is consistent for the batter, beat/whip at high speed until soft peaks form. Took me around 8 - 10 minutes to get it to that consistency.

Part C: The Tiramisu
a) Layer the bottom of the mold with a thin layer of the cream.
b) Line the second layer with lady fingers quickly dipped in the brew of hot chocolate

If your mold is too small, you might want to cut the lady fingers with a knife first before you dip it.

Also, make sure you only dip the lady fingers and not SOAK them. If you soak them, your tiramisu will be SOGGY and it will mean "put me down" and that means that the tiramisu has failed in its attempt at making you want to pick it up.

c) Layer again with cream and continue the process until you get at least two layers. The last layer must be cream!
d) By using a sifter, dust the top of the tiramisu with a mixture of cacao powder and icing sugar.
e) Refrigerate for around 4 - 6 hours.

If you refrigerate for less than that, you can see that the lady fingers have not yet completed their mission of absorbing the liquid, and so you can still see the lady fingers. I do have people I know who love that texture (like my dad), so it is up to you. I love to leave mine in the fridge overnight to chill before I have them.

Plating
a) Remove from mold with a (whatever its called) but I used a rice scoop (flat)
b) Sprinkle sliced hazelnut on top of the tiramisu

Some people I know laughed at me when I told them I put hazelnut on the tiramisu and said that it was unconventional. I told them the recipe in itself was already unconventional (no eggs, no mascarpone, no rum, no expresso) - and so I am kinda original. Kinda.

Baked Lamb Loin sitting on a bed of Salad

Ingredients
Part A : Lamb Loin
a) Lamb Loin DUH
b) Seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- Rosemary
- Fried Onion/ Garlic :/
- Whatever seasoning you like and love and adore, even your boyfriend's hair EHEHEH

Part B : Uh um, Salad :/
Part i : The Actual Salad
a) Spinach
b) Grated Carrots
c) Chopped Blue Kraut (Or as my fellow Asians say, red cabbage )
d) Cabbage
e) Up to you really, I know people who suggest adding in Feta, Goat Cheese, Haloumi, Lettuce, Assortments of nuts (Pecan, Macademias, Pistachios), Lettuce and other things you can put in salads, and again, I dont despise people who put in their boyfriend's hair or anything, as long as its edible is the rule in salads

Part ii : The Dressing
a) Olive Oil
b) Rice Wine Vinegar
c) One or two drops of fish sauce (Yes, sounds crazy but it is true)
d) Apple Cider Vinegar
e) Soy Sauce

Experiment with the dressing until you find the best mix of flavors, mine is a teaspoon of everything except the fish sauce

---

Procedure (Damn its simple)
Part A : The Lamb Loin
a) Get ready a baking tray, lined with aluminium foil. Preheat your oven to a 180 degrees Celcius. Lay your Lamb loins down on a bed of roses, sink it in a river at dawn.. I mean lay the loins on the aluminium foil in the baking tray and season them to your preference. Rosemary should be sprinkled on top of the lamb loins.
b) Bake for half an hour or so, until you can smell the aroma. Took me more than half an hour to get the lamb to be done medium well at a 180'C, but if you are experienced then you can use whatever temperature you like to speed up the process. It is up to you to cook either rare, medium rare or well done. I like mine well done - to check if it is well done, press your index finger against your thumb for the texture you should feel when you poke the lamb loin.

Part B : Seriously? You need a procedure for Salad!?
a) Mix the ingredients in 'Part i' in a small bottle so you can shake it well.
b) Chop the ingredients in 'Part ii' to your liking and put them in a salad bowl
c) Toss ingredients well.
Procedure for Plating
a) Prepare a clean plate
b) Decorate the base of the plate with a bed of tossed salad
c) Lay the lamb chop on the bed of salad like a sleeping prince
d) Garnish with fried garlic and onions
e) Use a high quality camera to take a picture of it, and preferably edit it before posting to instagram
f) Consume

The salad can be prebought if you are too lazy to make it from scratch

Baking - My Approach to Serenity

So I am embracing my newfound love for cooking. It started early last year in 2014, when I have just moved to a new house. There was no internet, no fixed line (yeah, you could have seen how disappointed I was and how much I ranted, just on and on for the past few blog posts).

With nothing to do (I just do not want to imagine what my parents do in those days when the weather wasn't so hot, crimes weren't occuring as often in Malaysia etc) except jogging to spend my evening, my holiday mornings became boring. I started watching a few shows on TV like Masterchef and Hell's Kitchen. When I saw some leftover ingredients in the pantry at home, ideas gushed into my mind and for the very first time - I cooked my very first dessert; The Panna Cotta.

The Panna Cotta is a very simple dessert. You just needed to mix together Milk and Whipping Cream in a pan and heat it until it simmers. Bloomed gelatine is then stirred in until mixed well and then the mixture is poured into ramekins and put in a refridgerator to set. When set, the sauce is made by caramelizing sugar and then adding some milk to give a praline taste to it.

From then on, I started baking more and more. I made Sponge Cake, Swiss Rolls, Cookies, Tiramisu, Cheese Cake etc.

I even moved on to making savory food - for example; Macaroni, Curry, Steak.

Every time I cook, I gain the confidence to cook the next dish. In the kitchen, I actually felt tranquil. This is where I felt I could enjoy my life. 

Baking is my new hobby - borne from the emptiness of having nothing to do.

The FIRST and the LAST (A story of a game and how it changed my life)

This game was not the first game that I have played. The first MMO that I started playing was Gunbound. Gunbound was great because it really opened me up to the online world. Having no unlimited internet at that time, there was only dial up and it was fcking slow as hell! (As I finished typing that paragraph, my OCD kicked in and I had to JUSTIFY the whole paragraph heh)

The second MAJOR MMO I played was an RPG type game. I was introduced to the game by an online gaming community, GameSync- forums. The ride was great, it actually taught me about how the world was and how I should make my own decisions, trust only when I only it is really safe - yeah, this is caused by scammers and other gamers with horrible attitudes ingame. This game was Maplestory, and I am proud to say that I am an old timer because I have played this game since before all those major buffs happened - only when the four classes were available, and sticked with the game during the expansion to Aqualand and Ludibrium. I quit somewhere there though, but came back many times after major patches to play with my friends. 

The third MAJOR MMO I played as in a private server, but it wa with close friends. Ragnarok Online! The game was so much fun I physically dedicated myself to it. I can go on for long bouts of time without eating OR sleeping just to play the game, and because I dedicated my other time to studying for academic results, I sacrificed my sleep to play - and I can still say that I have enjoyed it very very much. 

I played two main classes, a Cleric that eventually became a High Bishop and a Mage that eventually became a Warlock. I played the Cleric for a supportive role when my friends are online to play, and the Warlock for when I was alone and there was nothing to do (when my friends are offline or are unwilling to play with me). That was what I tried to tell myself, but I couldn't help noticing how I was desperately lying to myself so badly.

I played Cleric a lot. It was my favorite type of character and I enjoy supporting my friends when they are playing. I wasn't a very good gamer, so I frequently messed up and caused everyone in the team to die or lose. But it was fun. There were times that I surprisingly shone when playing the role. There were times that I felt that I was actually doing a pretty good job. I met many people that I grew to know more and more and are now some of my closest friends. They fare from may different countries, and so I get to learn more about their cultures and also their way of life.

Not everyone was around most of the time, so I  was usually only playing and supporting one person that usually used a Monk or an Asura. You know, those characters with the lethal ASURA STRIKE that deals very huge amounts of damage. They are actually very capable of supporting themselves, but extra healing and buffs seem too good to be true at that point. I was following because of the FREE EXP and MONEY. And I am not going to lie, it was also because I had nothing to do and it was fun to follow.

This continued and our bonds grew stronger. I was young and stupid, and so I fell in love. I was so drawn into the game - I began to think of the game as a reality. Real life at that point was after all - meh, not so interesting. At 16, what humans want is only a place to belong to aside from their own families, and that was probably what I longed for. I began to spend more and more time ingame, waiting to go on another adventure. Another activity for me to fill my head with all sorts of fond memories. I have tried to tell myself that I am not doing the right thing - or am not about to do the right thing, but my heart was controlling my mind. My strength of mind was feeble and frail. I was just entrapped in the web that my longing heart has spun, aimlessly. And I did it. On one of the adventures. I did it.

I can still remember the map where it happened, and how it happened and how I felt then and also how I feel many years after that, and even now. It is actually very hard for me to express this in words, but I just had to get it out of my system. Somewhere where anyone can see and where people can learn from.

We were hunting Eddga, a boss in Payon Forest. And I said something stupid. Like "I Love You" (Yes, please attribute this song to that song resung by Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams, except that the feeling wasn't mutual). The respond to that was that I was too tired. I probably was. I was so flustered and angry with myself that I just logged off midgame. What was I saying? I should have known better - my journey with Maplestory should have instilled in me to think more about what I say and when I should say them. I did not log on for days.

When I did log on, I created the mage (became a Warlock) so I could solo the game. When I play with my friends again, I would almost reluctantly switch back to the Cleric, but most of the time I played as a Warlock. I have also respec-ed my Cleric to become a battle type cleric so that I could solo as a Cleric. The incident influenced my playing style so much that I no longer play a fully supportive character nor could I handle being given a supportive role. Months later, I would still be invited into random parties as a Cleric and being expected to support. The mental trauma made me unable to do so, I failed so badly I went Solo again most of the time. In many other games I played after, I became more of a self-support offensive style cleric of some sorts.

We acted like nothing happened, it was for the best. Even now, we still play some games together as friends, and I am very happy that we were still able to do so after something that could have caused me three lives had occured. I am very grateful that the reaction was as such, I would have done the same thing. I am glad that this was made a secret and kept between us unanimously - though we never said anything.

Emotionally, I was scarred. It made me build a cage around my heart. Everything said to me now would first go through my brain. I would be wary of people that try to become close to me. It made me afraid to tell people that I love them, because it made me fear rejection again. It made me afraid that I would lose things even though I didn't lose anything the first time. For me, I was putting one foot down on making it the last.

Six long years have passed, and I am still affected badly. Convinced that it was because of my severe imperfections, I gave up on social life and tried to excel in how I look, my academics and how I am perceived in the eyes of others. Looking back, I regret trying to be someone I didn't want to be. I lost weight and got contacts - it is now very hard for me to go out without my contacts because I wouldn't have any confidence either wise, and my fears of how my body would look like made me hydrophobic.

I would go into depression by myself - so I am very thankful to the friends that I have that are very willing to talk to me to cheer me up. Yes, I am very proud to name them as Priscilla, Neo Yen and Alfred. Thank you for cheering me up unknowingly when I was about to sit in one corner and freak out. My biggest secrets will always stay only with you three and only you three. Promise.

There was this one time I was sitting in one corner of the room, feeling depressed as fck and thinking suicide thoughts. And then a voice message came, and I forgot everything and started laughing. That was how much it actually matters.

For me - that was the first and the last time I will speak my heart without my mind processing it through.

-- Still, I am looking forward to the Tree of Saviors Online to start fresh. That game will represent my reincarnation from the world of Ragnarok Online I played and left many fond memories in. Now I am less reluctant in moving forward because I have made new friends. Maybe I will regain the ability to become a supportive character here. (But I am very interested in either the Druid, Necromancer, Sorcerer or Bokor :3 )

Monopoly (No, Not the Board Game!)

 Picture Courtesy of Pinco.co.uk

What are the characteristics of Monopoly?

No, silly. I don't mean the board game. Although I love the card version of the board game as well (Monopoly Deal *_*) - Monopoly is a situation in which a single company, organization or a group has a control or owns all or nearly all of the market; for a given product or a set service (Miniature extract from Investopedia, read 2014).

There are three main characteristics of Monopolization by a company or an organization. These are as shown below:

Golden Characteristic 1 -  There is no competition between companies

Golden Characteristic 2 -  The company reaps an enormous and abnormal sum of profit

Golden Characteristic 3 -  There are barriers to entry for other competitors

Monopolization - although an avid term to many third world countries; and is often seen in a horrible light, does have its own advantages to try own over it's disadvantages. The advantages can be seen such that because one organization owns the market, the pricing for the items or services are non-changing and not made a variable depending on what situations may bring. For example, it can be confusing and taxing to have customers needing to make millions of inquiries over the wide scope of items and services offered by different companies or organizations to find the perfect match to their desires - rather than having a universal company to deal with. 

Other than that, this also helps the government in their spending. Referring back to Golden Characteristic 2 - in which the company reaps a gargantuan amount of profit; in the case whereby the company is owned by the government (which is more likely so, and if not then taxes), then the large profit can be used for capital investment or the sorts - probably for the betterment of the country in terms of infrastructure. Remember that the term united we stand can play a huge part here, there is a higher likeliness of the business or organization can penetrate national markets given that most of the funds are concentrated on one business alone rather than being divided among several groups. Another factor that contributes to this is wholesale - which means the monopolizing company can obtain their stocks with a discounted price, and then hand it over to their customers cheaper.

Monopoly in itself is a huge word to be playing with in the solidarity of our palms. To contradict the advantages as stated, there are also firm disadvantages. The first disadvantage will be fiercely obvious to eyes of the public. Referring to Golden Characteristic 1 - and then 3; There are little to no competition between companies, meaning that the monopolizing company gets to become the ruler or king of the Market. This becomes more solidly enforced when there are barriers preventing other companies from taking part in the Market. Because of this, there is little to no pressure for the monopolizing company to do well in what they do - resulting in potential slacking of the workforce in the workplace or put generally; the company. Onto a worser note, these monopolizing companies resort to reap benefits while exploiting their customers. After all, these customers have no choice but to either accept the non-satisfactory services or leave it and live without it. Customers will often complain and rage all over the media in order to get these companies to notice their plea - but it will go unnoticed. After all, one or two missing customers will not affect its earnings.

Price wars can also occur to the benefit of the customers if monopoly does not exist. Each company eye-ing the market will provide a better and more affordable service that can capture the longing hearts of the customers in the battlefield of earnings, and the best company wins. Monopoly on its own does not allow this to occur, and many monopolizing companies actually mark up prices and practice price discrimination - in which the prices for goods and services vary on who the customers are. For example, the branch of a certain company located in a certain area might charge higher for their products compared to another location based on the earnings of the people in those locations itself. Because their goods will never fail to leave their grasp and go into choiceless consumer's hands, they can offer inferior products and services to their own chagrin.

Another disadvantage of monopoly is that black markets will tend to exist. Since there are no other competitors to offer an item or a product at a cheaper price or of a higher par or standard, agents of the black market will offer illegal schemes and methodism by exploiting various loopholes in the Market. For example, many smokers tend to buy untaxed ciggarettes by illegal means for a cheaper price rather than ciggarettes on a contrary of taxed prices resulting in around four or five times the original priced amount. 

The rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer. They will NEVER be able to break free from the chain of poverty if monopoly triumphs. Putting aside all advantages and disadvantages - monopoly will mean marked up prices. Adding salt to the wound, government taxes may occur. For example, Milkpowder for babies will cost around double or even triple it's original price - and breadmakers from lower income families will not have the incentive or funds to feed and raise their own blood and sweat, their young. They result in illegal means to raise their family in whatever ways they can; stealing, kidnapping and killing for money. Cars will be hijacked and then sold in other countries, or stolen just because the taxes imposed on them are too high to be longed for by ordinary citizens under the sun. People who are under the stress of these duple or triplefold multitudes will be under stress - and humans become desperate and impatient under pressure. Still wonder why the crime rate increases?

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

All facts aside, my original plan was to complain about the inferior services by the company monopolizing the fixed-lines in my own country - having workforce far too lazy to even come and inspect the area I currently reside in, cancelling their appointment a number if times and rescheduling it, only to once again break their promise. 

However, I don't see how complaining there can let me achieve any significant benefit - so I am going to once again play with lady-luck on submitting another form to install these fixed-lines in my area for phone and unlimited internet, not only for my own benefits but for the betterment of everyone residing in my current neighbourhood.

I don't usually complain about the internet speed

But when I do, the speed sucks ass. 

So I moved about one kilometre away from my old to my new house about a year ago - from the Muara Tabuan Area, Kuching to the Tabuan Tranquility P5 area IN THE SAME CITY.

Usually, fixed landlines for telephones will be set up quickly, but in the case of Kuching and up the status ladder my beloved country Malaysia, there is a system of monopolization and so all of the fixed landlines are managed by one company, Telekom Malaysia.

As a student and also an avid gamer, I am always in need of an internet (yeah, typical third world bastard) and it is amazingly irritating and boring having to live without phonelines and internet. So, my dad and I decided to send an official letter to Telekom Malaysia to "beg" them to install telephone lines in the housing area (which is less than a hundred metres away from an area with telephone lines - and the mini station). They reciprocated by answering that this so called "project" only "might" be proposed and even if the so called project is proposed, the decision will be governed mainly by the viability and the budget which is you know - very very convincing :|

So anyways, we went and got a Maxis Broadband internet plan - which looks VERY irresistable indeed. Although a quota is imposed contrary to the unlimited internet plan we had before, at least we had internet - or so we thought.

The best plan we took were for 12 GB of quota, with  36 GB quota for off peak (2:00 fucking a.m. to 8:00 a.m. - although it did make me wake up early everyday which is a good thing I guess). After the quota is used up, we are promised to be able to still surf the internet with a speed limit of 128 kbps (1.28 Mbps) instead of 21 Mbps - which is not bad to be precise...

Until we realized the horrible truth - the promised speed of up to 21 Mbps and up to 128 kbps were infact phonies. I only get to see the highest download speed of 10 Mbps instead of the promised 21 Mbps, and for the 128 kbps... well, see for yourself. (AM I USING JARING? WHY DOES THIS REMIND ME OF A DIAL UP LINE?)

We did try to contact customer service to ask for any possible solution to survive with this - and we indeed got a reply, which is applaudable - but not very helpful. (Looks like they have too much money to spend on SMS)

Trying to search for a better alternative, we tried to be directed to Maxis Fibre, instead of having a customer service representative answer the call, we were set to listen to a neverending Maxis advertisement for around fifteen minutes before we gave up and proceeded to spend the rest of our more "worthless" time using more "useful" things, like losing weight and gaining muscles.

And so, we decided to be hopeful - for the day that Telekom doesnt monopolize installs fixed lines in our area (TABUAN TRANQUILITY PH5 \o/ ) or that Maxis actually becomes more competent improves the quality of their channels for a faster speed. We customers dont want to pay for trash! want a better quality, not just quantity of broadband subscriptions with feeble speeds :3

China's Web Junkies: Internet Addiction Documentary - Thoughts

Okay, so I got to watch this video about how China deals with kids who has internet addiction. Got me thinking, if I was living in China at their age - I would be sentenced to this place not for three to four months, but for life sentence. 

I was kind-of surprised at how they treat internet addiction as a disease or a disorder, but it is not that surprising because humanity have only plunged into the era of electronics just very recently. Previously, there should be a disorder named for people who are addicted to reading books and cooped up at home watching TV, and in the future probably one for people using the virtual device such as the Oculus Rift. 

I will not say that the way the government has decided to deal with this addiction is wrong - because it is truistic. If an able bodied person stays at home or outside almost 100% of the time to play, like one kid did in the video (he stayed outside for three days), there is no guarantee that he is able to contribute to his family, his society or even the world as it is. I agree to the fact as stated; teenagers and children seek comfort and company online because they feel neglected but not only their parents, but possibly their neighbours and peers as well; so they resort to seeking a haven for communication where they won't be judged according to their physical looks as long as they remain anonymous, in the form of an online avatar. They can become something they cannot be in real life, famous. skillful; name it. However, these addicts should learn how to divide their time to contribute and still be able to perform in these forms of E-sports. Wearing diapers just so that they can perform well in game is like wearing diapers to the exam hall so that you can perform well in exams.

 

The "electronic heroin" as claimed does have its drawback or "cold turkey" stage - thus rehabilitation is seen as something necessary. The environment should be comforting as well; not to imprison these kids in a jail of some sorts. Yes, they do make friends in the rehabilitation centre - this by itself is a bright point of the treatment. However, I do not agree that forced military training be done and that doctors and medical specialists be there for the reason of "treating their addiction". What I had in mind was that they be monitored and to do exercises to remain healthy, and be encouraged to participate in serene activities such as painting, tinkering or playing musical instruments. The medical specialists can then be there to monitor their health and to encourage a healthy lifestyle (what to eat, etc.).

The parents of these children might be neglecting their duties as parents early on because they are too busy with work. This is not surprising as asians are known to be workaholics. I am lucky to have a stay-home mother that tends to my needs. To repent for their actions early on, they send their young here instead of taking the long way of love, but the shortcut of shun. They forced their young to enter the centre with lies and even underhand tactics like DRUGGING them with sleeping pills which I actually find to be wicked.

I do have actual mixed feelings to this treatment of the teenagers, and I actually have some ideas on how these rehabilitative processes can be improved, as stated. Hopefully- just hopefully these addicts will be spared and be given a a trial and rehabilitation that is more on par with the standards of the moving hand on the clock - its the electronics era after all!

XOXO
