Counting down the days...

Seconds pass by and soon enough, Christmas 2010 is over and it will be 2011. Similar to 2009, the year has been quite a roller coaster ride for me. Seems like my wish to Santa didn't get to his mail so he better be making other people's wishes come true as he'd have the excuse of being too busy to have overlooked my wish... :) 2 more days before the dawn of a new year... I wonder if there is any miracle left this year...

Tin wood man

If you don't know who the tin man is, he is the character from the Wizard of Oz who wanted to have a heart. Here is the link for more info about him. To think that he could not love the one whom he had fallen for cause he had no heart is such a tragedy. Then again in my case, my heart is causing me so much more pain... I wonder how it will be like if I've got no heart like him.. To not be able to love the one whom I had fallen for. Maybe by then life would be much simpler and less complicated... :)

Some things never change...

Hard to believe that it's almost been two years. Just realised how much certain things have changed yet certain things still remain... It is such a strange feeling to realise how much I have been in denial. I know how life has moved on yet it still feels like I have not moved on at all - still back at that time, the time before 17th March 2009. :(

Space of my own...

I just wish to have a space of my own... Some space for me to breathe...

Workaholic...

Just the song to remind me that once this is all over, I should give myself some rest, have some fun and maybe venture on a new romance... :D

Deal or no deal...

Most people believe that the devil is the father of all lies and the deals made are definitely going to put you in the worst position ever... However, if the deal is not your soul but something else:

1) Your current life for your dream life. You will get your ideal life as you had pictured. The only catch, there is no going back to your current life.

2) Your memories and your feelings for a special someone as a trade off for whatever you wish for. You get to forget and get rid of the heartaches but you lose the memories.

So... Deal? Or no deal? :)

Regrets,,,

One of my favourite songs is "My Way" by Frank Sinatra... Regrets... I have a few... But then again, too few to mention. However, these few regrets have such profound impacts on my life I find them coming back to haunt me every now and then. Strangely enough, Loneliness is just staring at Regrets while Regrets is taunting me. There are times when the idea that to not regret is to be able to live with the decisions I've made and the actions I'd taken strikes me. However, how many of us are able to pull through? I wish there'll be a day when I do see that the path I've tread is the for the best...

Can loneliness kill?

Can loneliness kill a person? Maybe not. However a combination of regrets and loneliness definitely can. I wonder how many times I've died...

Feelings...

Feelings... Nothing more than feelings... Yet I realised that it is these feelings which I miss. It can be the same person doing the same things but the feelings will never be the same again. Maybe it is this feeling which we all seek rather than a person. Some couples which are together for years maybe still break up after these so called feelings are gone. I wonder if I will find these feelings again but I doubt I will. Slowly, I'm fading into a world of my own where no one can reach out to me...

Lalala...

Just feel like sharing this song tonight...

Lonely but happy...

For graduation, Mdm. Christina gave me a pen and a card. Inside the card was the message "... may you find much happiness, joy and love ... " I haven unwrapped the gift yet but I think the msg in the card is very much the best gift anyone can hope to receive :) Thanks Mdm !!! I know atm I am alone... Guess it is only natural to be lonely at the top... Nvm, never again will I depend on others for my happiness as past experiences only prove that others will just let me down... I only have myself to pick myself up and find my own happiness... :D

The Past

Sometimes I just do not know what to say on a night like this when the past decides to pay a visit. It's just a mixture of feelings which I am unable to put into words so I will just share the song...

King of the Cheap Skills Tournament...

My younger brother competed in the Swinburne Tekken 6 competition. Using Lee Chao Lan as his fighter, he won quite a number of matches. The only downside to that is the skills which he used are the same and it's not really enjoyable to watch although it was quite effective. Even the audiences were rooting against him. Poor dude... Eventually, he lost to a real pro. However, at the end of the competition, it seems like my bro was the only one with an elder bro and a gf to support and console him. He may have lost the competition but at that moment, I don't think he was a loser. :D

Selamat Hari Raya to all my family and friends :D

沒那麼簡單

I guess this song really suits my feeling at this moment...

7th Lunar Month

It is the 7th Lunar Month - a month which most Chinese believe to be the Hungry Ghost Festival. It is a month when the ghosts are free to roam the streets... There is a lot of debate about the existence of the supernatural... Taking a moment to ponder, true love is a lot like the supernatural occurrence.

True love is like the supernatural...
Some people say they have experienced it first hand...
Some say it is nonsense and scoff at its very existence...
No one can prove its existence...
Yet no one is able to disproof it either...

The funny thing is, most people choose to believe in it :)

Pain + Love

Pain is a surest way of telling us that we are doing something really really stupid and harmful to our body. Yet with the pain that comes with love, I wonder why we still yearn for it. Been working on a machine day and night for quite some time now... I really wonder if I am slowly turning into one, devoid of emotions... Or maybe I just yearn to be one. No sadness, no guilt no conscience...

Would life be much simpler?

Rain

At the moment, I just feel like the rain that doesn't stop pouring reflects my current stage in life. It is just all dark and gloomy. I try to stay high spirited and cheerful but just feel that all the events that has unfolded so far are just like the rain beating down on me...

At times, I feel like a lone traveler lost in the woods during the rain. Try as I may I just do not know how to get out. I know that the only way is to continue walking but I feel so tired... When can I find rest? Both mentally and physically...

Irony

Sometimes I find there is so much irony. It is really scary to wish for one thing and it comes true but not in the way intended. Sigh... Strangely enough, what is feared usually comes true as well...

Scared of loneliness yet I always find myself all alone...

Scared of the cold yet it always rains...

Scared of losing yet they never stay...

Scared of being disappointed yet never losing hope :)

A song that is spinning in my head...

One big joke...

Currently, this is my idea of the big dude up the sky. I can't exactly tell if He loves me or if He just loves playing with me.

I was craving for a Spicy Double McDeluxe since yesterday. Sadly it was raining and no friends wanted to join me so I decided not to go. Today, I can't stay the craving anymore so after work, I dropped by McD to have what I am craving for. And that is when I saw a familiar figure walk by. And this familiar figure. It is her and her new bf. Sigh... At that moment I sure feel like a character in a comedy. Merely exchanged a smile with the couple :) She looked happy. The smile I saw on her face was a smile I'd not seen in a long while. Glad she is happy...

If there is something called fate, I wonder why it always put me in all the weirdest situations at the worst possible times... :/ Sigh... Why so serious at McD? Haha...

Pooh Pooh

This is - Pooh Pooh. Yesterday I brought the Korean vendors to an electronics shop. When we got there, we saw a cute chubby little kid. He is about one year old and he kept running around the shop and messing things up. Seeing the kid, I just thought of Pooh Pooh. Like how Pinocchio was a puppet turned into a boy, I imagined that Pooh Pooh would have been similar to that toddler if he was a real toddler. Naughty and cute. So naughty that you get angry yet so cute you can't stay angry... :)

I miss Pooh Pooh. I wonder how he is doing now. Is he still loved? :(

Memories

I really wonder what the memories we shared mean to you but to me, it is my precious which I'll always treasure. If anything, these photos are fragments of memories we once shared. Looking at these pictures, do you feel the same way that I feel?

20th September 2009 - The first time you were angry with me. That night you could not go out with me as your housemates wanted you to look after the house. I was so angry with the way they treated you and worried about how you had not had your dinner I just lost my cool. Eventually one of your housemates returned and I brought you out to dinner. :) I still remember how angry you were with me that night as you were so quiet. You told me not to worry as everything will be alright the next day. Sadly, things are not going to be alright this time round...

2nd September 2009 - The first time I took you to the clinics after telling your mum you were sick. I know you never liked me telling your mum stuff but I just cant help it at times as I know that she is constantly worrying about you and there are things she needs to know. I suppose it is a good thing I never found the Chinese physician :P I bet you would not like the herbal medicine. I still remember that night as vividly as yesterday. I had to drop you off at the clinic while I went to give tuition. That night, you waited for me at home. I felt a sense of relief that you finally saw the doc and ate your medicine. I still find it funny to see how shy you were that you did not dare have dinner :)

I think I wanted to give you a peck on your cheek while taking this picture so it ended up so blurry. That day we ended up taking pics using your webcam. You uploaded it and named the album "Mr Coffee and Miss Waffles" I wonder if you still have those pictures with you...

17th October 2009 - The first time I decided to cook for you. The only dish which I know how to prepare is spaghetti so I settled on that dish. Even got the tomato sauce from your place. You were my assistant while I cooked. That night we cooked so much that both of us couldn't finish it before going over to my friend's birthday party. That night was also the first night I saw you getting drunk after drinking screwdrivers which you thought was orange juice :P

One morning you complained we never took enough pics as a couple. We took a few shots and this was the best among them all. We looked so happy. I think we were really happy when we took this picture.

A pic taken by Justin after FYP in uni. Haha... I slept so soundly by your side. You were my safe haven that sheltered me from all my worries. You told me that I was really selfish when I asked you if you would come with me if I were to go elsewhere. To be honest, I asked that simply because I know that home is where the heart is and my heart is with you...
The pic taken when I went over to your place to take a nap after my group study for my finals. I can only find rest when I am with you. That afternoon, you teamed up with Ken to make Xiao Bai kiss me :( Now you have your own little doggy called Kobe...

During my hols, we were always together. If my memory serves me right, you had a "Malaysian Studies" test the next day and you were tired from o the studying. Wanted to go dinner after watching the HK drama but you were still lounging on your bro's bed. However, you looked so cute I couldn't resist but to give you a peck on the cheek. :)

A pic taken the day after Christmas. I never posted it as I thought we both looked ugly in this pic. Ok, maybe it is just me looks so.

That was the last picture I have of us. I suppose that is where the story ends. 2010 came and there are a lot of major changes in our lives. I found a job and I could no longer be with you as much as I did back then. Your mum fell sick and then she passed away. With my job at hand, I couldn't spend as much time as I could to console you and help you get through the sadness. Our distance started growing and my temper became worse because of the insecurity I felt. With that, the vicious cycle started and we grew apart until that day you told me that I no longer had your heart...

Life seldom gives people second chances and we cannot turn back time. Life has no "if" and I can only learn from the mistakes of my actions and pick up the pieces regardless of how much I wish to undo my actions... I suppose all that matters now is that you are happy...

Angels cry...

It sure is hard to believe that a week has passed by so fast. Since the day you broke up with me, I just realize that there hasn't been a day that has not rained. As implied by this song, I wonder if the angels are crying...

You said that you wish there is no such a thing as "wasted". I can tell you this - your love for me wasn't wasted. I may have changed too late but it did change me. Made me realize how much of a horrible person I am and I should really change my attitude or I'll lose more of those around me. I also do not think I "wasted" my love on you - simply because I Love You...

You once asked me "Do you believe in fairy tales?" I told you "I'll never be your knight in shining armour." but I didn't tell you "I'll be your guardian angel and give my all for you..." I remember a story. Once there was a scholar. He had looks, a bright future and beautiful wife. One day, an angel descended from heaven and asked him "Are you happy?" He said "My life is the envy of many people but sadly I do not know what happiness is." That instant, the angel took away his looks, his wife and everything else which he had. Looking hideous and unable to find a job, he could only roam the streets as a beggar. After what seemed like an eternity, the angel appeared before him again and asked him the same question "Are you happy?" He replied "I now know what happiness is. It was all that I had. If I had not been such a fool." Knowing the scholar had learnt his lesson, the angel returned all that he had to him. He found himself back at the time when he first met the angel - only this time, he knew how to be content with what he has.

A short story which I once read but somehow it seems to reflect my current situation. A stable job, a good girlfriend and no worries. It is a pity I couldn't appreciate it all until now when it is all too late... At least in the story, the scholar had a happy ending. Will I have mine?

50 universal truths about men :D

Just broke up recently :'( Anyway, the following are really true about men... What makes it so hard for us to be understood?

1. Why should I remind you that “I love you?” I already told you once.

2. I’ll do anything for sex; even commit to you for life.

3. I hate arguing with you. I’d much rather find a compromise.

4. I love long hair. Sorry, but I do.

5. When you speak softly, I can’t help but listen.

6. I need to be told “no” sometimes. Not a lot, but every now and again reminds me that you are expensive.

7. Please don’t ask me how you look unless you’re willing to trust my answer.

8. My eyes notice other women a lot more when you are upset with me.

9. When you’re happy with me I can’t help but want to please you.

10. If I don’t feel I can make you happy, it makes me feel less than a man.

11. I expect you to be ready when I pick you up.

12. Cigarettes make any woman look cheap and easy.

13. I'm scared if I let a woman inside my heart, she'll take advantage of me.

14. If you can’t stand up to me when I’m a brat, you’re too weak for me to open up to when I’m upset.

15. Sitting quietly next to me after you’ve made me a meal is your get-out-of-the-doghouse-free ticket. You’ll be surprised how quickly I can forgive.

16. You did something hurtful. If I never bring it up, I’m considering leaving you.

17. I don’t read minds. Remember, I’m not a girl.

18. You may know fashion, but I wish you’d dress to please me, not other women.

19. If I’m losing my hair, it’s not funny. Would you like me to joke about your weight?

20. When I talk to you about golf and you act bored, it would be nice for you to remember all the times I listened to you talk about what is important to you.

26. I need some type of signal or cue to walk across the room and approach you. What if you’re married!?

27. It makes me feel like you trust me when you ask for my advice.

28. It feels competitive when you insist on being in charge.

29. Being respected is more important to me that being loved.

30. I want every guy to envy me when we arrive as a couple. Please don’t let yourself go.

31. When I’m upset I am very tone sensitive. How you say it is more important that what you say..

32. I hate it when you minimize/ignore my compliments. It makes me what to stop giving them.

33. I’m more insecure than you think. Why do you think I need your respect so much?

34. I don’t always know how I feel. That’s why I don’t tell you.

35. I don’t need you to do things for me. What I crave is being able to please you.

36. If I do one thing and say something contradictory – Go with my actions, that will always tell you what’s in my heart.

37. I find myself wanting to please you when you simply smile at me without asking for something. (Like a favor).

38. I really don’t want to hear about any of your ex-boyfriends, regardless of the point.

39. If I don’t share what I’m thinking it’s because I don’t think you will listen without interrupting.

40. I don’t like to argue and I don’t like to guess what’s wrong. Just tell me so I can fix it.

41. I love it when you put your hair in a pony tail. Yes, it’s a Freudian thing.

42. Don’t ask me, “Are you going to wear that?” when I’m already dressed.

43. A gentleman should always be respected by his lady in public, even if she is disagreeing with him.

44. If you don’t believe you’re pretty, you won’t believe me when I tell you, no matter how many times I say it.

45. It isn’t how much your weigh; what's attractive is whether body is proportionate.

46. Sometimes I have weird and strange thoughts. I don’t take them seriously and I don’t want to share them with you (or anyone).

47. Sometimes you really don’t want to know what I’m thinking. See above.

48. If you cheat on me, it is nearly impossible for me to get over it.

49. I don’t remember everything about our relationship and that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.

50. I need some time to myself to calm down when I’m upset so that I don’t say something I will regret.

Aishiteru...

You probably won't know the existence of my blog but I really wanna tell you - Aishiteru!!!

Better man

I know I have done you wrong. I have been really selfish. I never knew how my actions have hurt you so much. I promise you. I will be a better man.

Final Fantasy 13 Guide

This is another one of my most recent purchases along with God of War 3. Anyway, I will just cut to the chase. My most frustrating experience with FF13 is the difficulty in finding item and weapon guides. As for most of the other stuff, they can be easily Googled. So in this article I'll just copy and paste the info I got. Credit goes to the respective authors.

character. Below is a list of what I used during the end-game material, but
keep in mind that there is no cut and dry way to equip characters and have
them perfect every time. That being said, here we go:

WEAPONS:

Lightning: Lionheart (for Commando)
Axis Blade (for Ravager)

Sazh: Vega 42s (multiple roles)
Rigels (for Commando)

Snow: Paladin (he's best as a Sentinel anyway)

Hope: Hawkeye

Vanille: Healer's Staff (for Medic)
Belladonna Wand (for Saboteur)

Fang: Taming Spear

ACCESSORIES:

These are the accessories that I felt best suited my main party. My main
party was made up of Lightning as Ravager/Healer/Commando, Fang as
Sentinel/Saboteur/Commando, and Hope as Healer/Ravager/Synergyst. I would
swap other characters in every now and then if I needed their special
abilities (Vanille's Death comes to mind). Anyway, here's my main party's
accessory set-up:

Lightning: Kaiser Knuckles
Magistral Crest
Sprint Shoes
Supper Ribbon

Fang: Kaiser Knuckles
Kaiser Knuckles
Sprint Shoes
Supper Ribbon

Hope: Wurtzite Bangle
Magistral Crest
Sprint Shoes
Supper Ribbon

Those Supper Ribbons are also your swap spot. If you're farming for items
and CP, you can swap those out for Catalogs and Growth Egg. If you're
farming 5-star ratings, equip the Gold Watch on someone.

Also, if you're Equipping Lightning with the Axis Blade or it's second
tier, Enkindler, be aware that these weapons are part of the Synthesis
group called "Boost" (not the third tier of the weapon however). The other
items in the Boost catagory are:
- Hermes Sandals
- Sprint Shoes
- Whistlewind Scarf
- Aurora Scarf
- Nimbletoe Boot
If you equip these accessories rather than the ones lsited above, you will
get a synthesized ability that raises the speed of the ATB gauge:
- 2 items - ATB Rate +10%
- 3 items - ATB Rate +15%
- 4 items - ATB Rate +20%
- 5 items - ATB Rate +30%
When you add the ATB speed increase with Auto-Haste and the innate ability
of the Axis Blade, Lightning will be able to drive up the chain gauge
with ease.


===SPECIAL PROPERTIES EXPLAINED=========================================[#3.h]

***NOTE: All of the game's special properties (found on weapons) are explained
below. First you'll see the property name, then the game's
description (in quotes), then my comments below that.

***NOTE: Note that the second name given on any property simply means that the
proprty is increased with that rank. Rank two of all applicable
proprties are found on Tier II and Tier III weapons.


Attack: ATB Charge/Attack: ATB Charge II
"Slightly recharges ATB gauge each time an enemy is attacked"
Great for speeding up a character's ATB rate, especially effective
if combined with Haste and the Boost synthesis bonus.

Improved Raise/Improved Raise II
"Slightly boosts HP restored to allies by Raise"
Nice for healers, but looses effectiveness further into the game
since you won'tbe dying as much (and when you probably won't have
chance to caste Raise then anyway).

Leadenstrike/Ironstrike
"Greatly reduces ATB gauge recharge rate."
This is a negative effect, slowing down the ATB gauge. Can be offset
with Haste and other bonuses.

Stagger Lock
"Prevents staggering of enemies"
Not as bad as it sounds, since other characters can still stagger
the enemy and the character can still raise the chain gauge.

Quick Stagger
"Allows instant staggering of enemies near their stagger threshold."
Allows characters to stagger enemies quicker than usual.

Augment Maintenance/Augment Maintenance II
"Slightly extends the duration of offensive buffs."
Great for Synergysts.

Paper Tiger/Silk Tiger
"Greatly reduces maximum HP."
Horrible bonus... though it can be offset with HP boosting
accessories.

Chain Bonus Boost/Chain Bonus Boost II
"Slightly boosts the chain bonus gained by attacking an enemy."
Good ability for Ravagers.

Stagger Maintenance/Stagger Maintenance II
"Slightly extends the duration for which enemies remain staggered."
Increased stagger time is always a good thing. If you have no other
options for a weapon, use it, but there are generally better
options.

Critical: Shield/Critical: Shield II
"Slightly boosts physical and magic resistance when HP is critical."
An ok bonus, but its generally not the best idea to leave your
characters in critical condition.

Siphon Boost/Siphon Boost II
"Slightly boosts ATB gauge recovery from Siphon abilities."
Good for Ravagers.

Defense Maintenance/Defense Maintenance II
"Slightly extends the duration of defensive buffs."
Good for Synergysts.

Stifled Magic/Fettered Magic
"Greatly reduces magic damage dealt to enemies."
Very bad for magic users, but ok for commandos.

Improved Guard/Improved Guard II
"Slightly enhances the effectiveness of Mediguard and Steelguard."
Good for Sentinals.

Critical: Power Surge/Critical: Power Shield II
"Slightly boosts Strength and Magic when HP is critical."
An ok bonus, but its generally not the best idea to leave your
characters in critical condition.

Enfeeblement/Hindrance
"Greatly reduces physical damage dealt to enemies."
Same as Stifled Magic, but lowers physical attacks instead.

Improved Ward/Improved Ward II
"Slightly enhances the effectiveness of Deathward and Fringeward."
Good for Sentinals.

Stagger: TP Charge/Stagger: TP Charge II
"Slightly restores party TP each time an enemy is staggered"
Good if you're using summons or trying to fill out your data log
with Libra.

Improved Debilitation/Improved Debilitation II
"Slightly boosts the success rate of debilitation abilities"
Good for Saboteurs.

Improved Counter/Improved Counter II
"Slightly boosts the effectiveness of counterattack abilities"
Good for Sentinals.

Improved Cure/Improved Cure II
"Slightly enhances the restorative effects of Cure spells."
Good for healers.

Ally Ko: Power Surge/Ally KO: Power Surge II
"Slightly boosts Strength and Magic each time an ally is KO'd."
An ok ability, but just like the critical properties, you don't
want to spend all your time with dead allies.

Improved Debuffing/Improved Debuffing II
"Boosts the success rate of debuffing abilities."
Good for Saboteurs.


>==TIPS & TRICKS=========================================================[#4.0]

Below you will find some tips and tricks to make gathering all the dirrerent
catalysts easier, and even a way to make some money in the process.

- Sacrifice (Eden/Orphan's Cradle)- 5%
- Mission 50 - Road to Predation

Adamantite - R&D Depot - 220,000 gil

Dark Matter - R&D Depot - 840,000 gil
- Shaolong Gui (Archlytte Steppes)-5%

Trapezohedron - R&D Depot -2,000,000 gil
- Adamantortoise (Archlytte Steppes)-1%
- Adamantoise (Archlytte Steppes)-1%
- Long Gui (Archlytte Steppes)-5%
- See "Gathering Trapezohedron" section below


===GATHERING TRAPEZOHEDRON==============================================[#4.b]

As you can tell by simply looking through the weapon list, you will need at
least 6 Trapezohedron to create 1 tier three weapon for each character
(1 Trapezohedron is required for each Tier 3 weapon). If you were to buy
these, you would be spending 12,000,000 gil. Considering the cost of
materials needed to upgrade weapons and accessories, the extra 12 million
is not a welcome sight. Here's how to bypass that cost:

The best time to do this is during post game. All you need is Vanille's Death
ability (available in the level nine crystarium). With this, you can easily
kill those huge Adamantoise creatures wandering around Gran Pulse. There is
also one in Leviathon Plaza in Eden. This is personally the best place to
farm, as there is a save point in the plaza next to the Adamantoise.

Now, to make this go as quickly as possible, give Vanille the Marlboro Wand
(Tier 2 of the Belladona Wand). Also, give her anything to boost her speed
(Hermes Sandals, Sprint Shoes, Whistlewind Scarf, Aurora Scarf, Nimbletoe
Boots).

Set up you party with Vanille as your lead, then a Sentinal and Medic. Your
Paradigm deck will be Attrition (SAB + SEN + MED).

Now, as soon as you enter battle with the Adamantoise, begin casting Death
with Vanille. This has a low probability of working, but keep at it. When the
creature dies, you will receive 40,000 CP, and you'll have a chance at
getting a Platinum Ingot (sells for 150,000 gil, 5% drop rate), or a
Trapezohedron (1% drop rate).

**Note that the Adamantoise are also a great way to farm money, and if you
come back after obtaining the Growth Egg you will gain a decent ammount of
CP from the fights as well.


===TRIPLICATING TRAPEZOHEDRON===========================================[#4.c]

Once you have one Trapezohedron, you can turn that one into three.

To do this, pick up a Mistilteinn, one of Vanille's weapons, buyable from
Plautus's Workshop for 11,000 gil. Along with this, you will need the
following materials:

159 Sturdy Bone \
89 Superconductor \ Total gil:
2 Particle Accelerator / 1,507,400 gil
28 Ultracompact Reactor /

1 Scarletite - (bought for 100,000 gil from "The Motherlode", or farmed
from enemies. See "Obtaining Catalysts" section.)
1 Trapezohedron


Now, use the following items to upgrade the Mistilteinn in this exact
order (for best cost effectiveness)

36 x Sturdy Bone
50 x Superconductor

1 x Scarletite

36 x Sturdy Bone
2 x Ultracompact Reactor
15 x Sturdy Bone
27 x Superconductor

1 x Trapezohedron

36 x Sturdy Bone
26 x Ultracompact Reactor
36 x Sturdy Bone
2 x Particle Accelerator
12 x Superconductor


The weapon should now be a maxed out Nirvana. Once you dismantle this, you
will receive:

71 x Monstrous Fang
60 x Entrancing Tail
36 x Moonblossom Seed
10 x Tear of Woe
3 x Trapezohedron


==="TREASURE HUNTER" TROPHY=============================================[#4.d]

After you have obtained every item in the lists above (exluding the multiple
tier 3 weapons, as noted at the beginning of the weapon section), you must
return to Bhakti in Oerba to claim the trophy. If you have not repaired the
robot yet, you must do so in order to speak with him. Once fixed, he will
give you the "Treasure Hunter" trophy and "Pulsian Pioneer" trophy, assuming
that you meet the conditions for both.
