Blur of Lights.



Okies, sorry for not updating for long, have been really busy nowadays. Everything just seems to fly past me in F1 speed like a breeze.

I can't seem to be able to recall what I've done for the past few days, but here are a few things that I've remembered.

15th July
1) Met Jason at LOOOONG LAST!!! XD XD XD The real kawaii & kind hunter from Ragnarok Online (Iris)~~ Watched the japaneese movie....OH SWEAT. I just remembered I already wrote 'bout this. Yikes. >"<

16th-20th July
1) Forgot already. Consist mostly of surfing on the net for mp3 players. Found out Creative is having sales now, most probably to clear out their old stocks because some other new models are going to be released soon probably. But who cares as long as it's cheap? ^_~

21st July
1) Still couldn't make up my mind, so took a trip down to Low Yat to check 'em out for myself. But before that, I went to KLCC first to collect my Tenjou Tenge Pinkys. And special thanks to Jason, for accompanying me!!! XD Really sorry for tiring you out with my fuzzy selection anthics. Finally decided to get the Creative Muvo N200, in GREEN!!! Searched high & low all over Low Yat in vain to find a GREEN one. Right before giving up, we strolled into Imbi for a last shot....

...and found out Mitsuo Hunter (Hong) was working there!!!! O_o Although there weren't any stock on the shelves, he promised to secure a GREEN one for me with their cheapest price, lastest by the next day. I agreed, of course. =D

22nd July
1) Filled up all the stupid PTPN/NHEF loan's form. Includes going to Bumiputera Bank to open a savings account....Man that bank is utterly STUPID. Without the government support, I'm sure they wouldn't even last a week. Really slow services even though there are MORE banking officers at the counters than customers. WTH?!

2)Went back all the way to Imbi Plaza to collect my MP3 player.

3) Japanese Class (Intermediate-II) has begun again. This time, I'm attending the Tues/Fri 7-9pm class.

23rd July
1) What else? My usual routine, drums class~ Blah~ Get to test out the recording function of my NEW mp3 player. It was great!!! Wished I've bought it much earlier...It'll be so so so much more convenient for me to practice my solo!!!

2) Korean BBQ/Steamboat buffet dinner!!! Play.com.my gathering!!!! Met some old acquintances and other interesting members who I haven't met before....it was fun!!! And everyone was so friendly. But why do they keep teasing about me and 'Kawasaki'? *rolleyes*

And at last I've got my hands on the ANA set!!! Woo hoo!!!! Limited sets only sold in Japan!!! Paid it using Kanzaki's debt. XD

24th July
1) Just finished up everything I've left unfinished.

Morning:- Practice drums.
Afternoon:- Finished my Japanese homework for the week, including the ones that are not taught yet.
Night:- Completed my PTPN/NHEF loan application form.

25th July
1) First day of training at Wisma Genting. Made a few friends! Cool~ Learnt a lot of new stuff, and the best part is I'm paid while learning all these interesting stuff!!! XD Love da job, only weakpoint is it's quite far from home.

26th July
1) 2nd day of training, pretty much the same. Except, I've got Japanese Class again today....So it's waking up at 7am, start to travel to KTM at 8am, work from 9am-5pm, travel back to apartment, reaching at about 6pm, take a short nap before driving to ss15 at 6.30pm. Kind of hectic. Japanese class from 7pm-9pm....And met up with my previous sensei, Yanagida-san after class to yumcha as usual at Asia Cafe. Reached home about 11pm I guess.

27th July
1) Woohoo!!! Went watch "The Island" with Jason after work. It was fun! Scarlett Johansson's so cute!!!! >.< I wish I look THAT great and have such an innocent and sweet feel around me like her. Sigh. And bought some chocolates for my mom and Jason. Cute~ XD plus some cake and bread from Bread History. Don't know why I felt like celebrating a little that day.

28th July
1) Something wrong with KTM this morning...stucked there for a full half an hour. But I guess it was a blessing in disguise, because due to the delay, I accidently bumped into my old classmate, Wei Perng! For your info, both of us share the same birthdate, which is 15th August 1985. He's just working on internship just 2 buildings away (Alliance Bank) from Wisma Genting during his 3 months holiday. Great! Can find him yumcha someday.

Wah I guess I've finished. Till we meet again, have a nice day everyone. ;D

Full Metal Alchemist? Homoculus? Aliens?

"人は何かの犠牲なしに、何も得る事はできない。何かを得る為には、同等の代価が必要になる。それが錬金術における、等価交換の原則だ。"

(hito wa nanika no gisei nashi ni、 nanimo dekiru koto wa dekinai。 nanika o eru tame ni wa、 doutou no daika ga hitsuyou ni naru。 sore ga renkinjutsu ni okeru、touka koukan no gensoku da。)

(人不付出任何牺牲,就无法获得任何东西。为了得到某种东西,就必须付出同等的代价才行。
这是炼金术中,“等价交换”的原则。)

"One cannot gain anything without first sacrificing something in return. To obtain something that you desire, something else of equal value must be lost. This is the alchemy's principle of Equivalent Exchange."

17th July 2005, Sunday (my entries seem to be lagging...but who cares anyway? =P)
Oh, Sunday? What did I do?

Nothing.

Except watch the whole series of 焔の錬金術師 [Flame Alchemist] (all 51 episodes of them I believe) STRAIGHT NON STOP.



It's a touching story about Roy Mustang, a national Flame Alchemist and his brave comrades who fought relentlessly agaisnt the evil forces in order to restore love and peace back to the world.



...what??!! I can't hear you?!?!?! Oh...you're saying the title of the anime should be 鋼の錬金術師 (Full Metal Alchemist) instead? OOopps gomen gomen I like Mustang and Hawkseye so much until I thought they are the main characters....man I LOVE episode 37!!! (where Havoc dates the girl PLUS the mystery of the 13th warehouse....) So hilarious! >_<

Phew! Took me 1 1/2 days (yes that includes THE WHOLE NIGHT; I didn't sleep) to watch everything. The CDs have been lying around in my apartment for MONTHS and I've never bothered to watch them through.

It's quite an interesting watch at the beginning, and thank god I only read a few volumes of the manga, or else I will be complaining away again about the difference in both versions (I always do =P). But I did find a few parts where they should've just left the storyline the way it is.

....until the homoculus truth strikes.

Things starts to get a little draggy when it's supposed to be interesting (maybe partly because I was already tired and half asleep....=P), and I found out their favourite quote got to be...."人じゃない!" ("hito jyanai!" which means not human) They'll keep rambling whether or not Lust is not human...Wrath is not human...Juliet Douglas is not human....the Fuhrer is not human....EVEN WHETHER ALPHONSE IS HUMAN OR NOT!

For all I'm concerned, all of you can become 宇宙人(uchuujin=aliens) if you want. Is it really worth all the screening time it wasted? Just a little is enough to make the required impact, but not too much please. You don't wanna drown the viewer with one issue alone.

...and I find their explaination of the gate's existance a bit weird. So now there's alter universe huh? Anime and mangas always SOOO conveniently use alter universes as a handy resolution of the unexplainable. Come' on, surely the production team can think of some new better answers to everything. Poor alter-universes...they get blamed for everything.

P.S: New movie! Someone please inform me where to download when it's out on da net....thanks!!! Can't wait!! >_<

Lacus X Yuna.....WTF?!!

Was watching Gundam Seed Destiny 39 just now, and witnessed a shocking development in the f**ked up Fu'c'kuda script...

...LACUS IS MARRYING YUNA!!!!


WTF??!!!!!



Lacus: Aaah Yuna-sama~!!! Please spare me.... (teary eyed, eyes blink blink blink)
Yuna: Now that Freedom has kidnapped Cagalli, at last I can pronounce that 'lam yan poh' (tom-boy) girl dead and use the EAF forces to force you marry me instead! Bwahahahahah!
Lacus: Why~ Why?!? Kira~~ Kira!!! Tasukete!!!
Yuna: For the sake of peace to the world...our marriage will signify the union between Orb and Zaft, so we can snatch the power away from that stupid Dullindal!!! Here I come, Lacus!
Lacus: IIiiiieeeeeee~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!! Itaaaiiiii!!!!! Tasukete, Kiraaaaaaa~~~~ Kira!!!! I gave you two f**king robots and why aren't you saving me?!?!?!?

************************
(meanwhile, kira is at home.....doing THIS.)



Kira: Athrun-kun, is it ok to let Lacus marry Yuna? She was also your fiance before, you know.
(evil-)Athrun: Its ok...at last we can have each other to ourselves....that f**cked up Fu'c'kuda keep changing the script and keep tearing us apart.....*false tears*
Kira: ATHRUN!!!! (touched)
(evil-)Athrun: (thinking) Kekeke....with Kira in my hands, at last I can use him again to regain my power and influence over the world...No one can beat the invincible combination of Freedom and Legend!!!! Nyawahahahahah!











...ah okies, was just joking, sorry for the false alarm. :P Do check out Kawaii Denka's absolutely hilarious GSD comic strips, credits to CY who sent me da link.

GSD Comic Strips

Ara....so what did I do during the past few days? Hmmm...lemme think....

15th July 2005, Friday
Went watch movie with Jason! XD Although the storyline is quite common and predictable, but it's so sad and touching that I cried!!! T____T Came out with my eyes so puffy, paiseh paiseh. Kudos to the actors for making the movie such an excellent watch with their excellent timing and absorbing screen presense. The superb chemistry between the actors and actresses also helped bring out the colours of the movie. Not to mention the main actress is so cuteeeeeee~~~~~~~~~ Nyaaaahhhhh!!!! Full of life and vigour, that kind of girl that you'll never get bored hanging out forever with.

~この世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ~ (kono sekai no naka kokoro de、ai wo sakebu)

...which is directly translated as "at the center of this world, crying out loud for love". (or something like that. =P Pardon my crappy Japanese.)



Went back home to Kajang during the evenings and yumcha again with my old buddies from secondary school. =) So long never see them liao!!! Probably because they were in Russia and Australia all these while. =P

And now I know Li Ting is scared of cats!!! XD So funny! Every time a cat passes nearby she'll jump out of her chair....even if it's miles away! =_="

16th July 2005, Saturday
Attended my drums class in the morning as usual, except it got postponed to 1pm today. Which leads to....BON ODORI!!!! XD Glad I made the right choice of attending the event at Matsushita Stadium in Shah Alam...Followed Yeo-san's car to the event with my Japanese class friends, and I met so many old friends there! Mostly Anime Malaysia members and my secondary school pals. Weird though I didn't meet any IMU or RO buddies there. =
Not to mention I was down with a serious food poisoning after that... 痛いいい(itai)... T__________________T Haven't gotten myself into any food poisoning that bad for long. Felt like vomitting even. Luckily 2 tablets of Paracetamol(Panadol), 2 Ultra-Carbon tablets and 1 Imordium capsule PLUS some deep sleep did the trick.

P.S: Pictures coming soon...kekekeke......*evil*

Memories...

Wow.

Sem 1 has ended? I can't believe time has flew THAT fast in a blink of an eye, so unconsciously and mercilessly.

Today, I collected 2 different results: (1) End of Semester 1 from IMU (2) Intermediate-1 Japanese Language exam (internal) from ICLS.

Thankfully, I get to keep my grade for both of them (A from IMU and 100% from ICLS, yay! XD), but this brings me back to memory lane, a reminisce of the things that I've done.

And gawd, everything seems so distant and faraway, I can't even barely remember them anymore. Even events only a mere half a year ago seems like an eternity away...


Picture that we took today that marks the end of our I-2 course. I'd never imagine that 3 months have passed, as I can still clearly recall the first commencing class, when each of each first introduced ourselves to each other. And I guess I won't be seeing most of you all anymore, especially Yanagida-sensei which I will miss the most, because I've decided to make use of my 2 months holidays and enrolled myself into a different faster class instead.


My PBL mates...end of semester 1 also signifies the end of our grouping for the semester. Meaning I won't be seeing you guys and gals anymore for my PBLs, who I've grown accustomed to. Thank you everyone for making our PBL sessions much more lively and filled with laughter.


Orientation! >.< I simply loved the time we had during orientation. It was a blast! How I wish we could go through all those times again, however teeth-gritting and body aching they were at the very moment we were living them. These are memories that I will cherish deep in my heart, life-long. This period of time also set out the framework for my life in IMU, and colours my otherwise dull campus life.


My langkawi trip! It was fun, and that may be the last time I get to meet up with you all like that, because now everyone is already scattered all over Malaysia. And I missed the chance to get together with ya all on the genting trip lately due to my End of Semester exams. T_T I love you all and miss ya. Hope till the time we meet again would not be a long wait from now.


The end of my first Japanese course in ICLS! XD And Yanagida-sensei is wearing the kawaii cheongsam we bought for her, personally selected by Pao-san's girlfriend! (he claims his gf's size is almost the same as sensei's...so......lol) Come to think of it, most of the people in this picture aren't the same as the current one. Hmmm....


Haha...took us really many failed attempts to get this near-perfect picture. We even went all the way to KLCC, Science Centre, and even stayed in Palace of Golden Horses to get this very single picture! O_O But of course, we used this as an excuse to enjoy ourselves at the hotel....hahaha....and not to forget, which created the first chance for us to go clubbing! XD


Woohoo! My Syndicate/Apostles/Sovereign gang from the RO days! XD Celebrating my birthday! Which mostly consist of watching a 'very interesting and intriguing' movie indeed, *drumrolls*...THE VILLAGE!!!! (meaning=boring) LOL. The time we had albeit short, was definitely a sweet one worth of remembrance. May all of you succeed in life in the future! Although I know most of you there are still busily hacking away on your keyboards at CCs all night long...=_="


Anime Malaysia! Damn I feel so bad! So long never see you guys, let alone contact! >_< Damn I'm such a bad (ex-)secretary, haha. And guess what, I should be meeting most of you all again this saturday for Bon Odori! Oh I can't wait! >_<

Guess that's all the group pics I can find on my hard drive now. Hope everyone in every single pic of mine are all happy and content with their lifes now, doing whatever they've been wanting to do all along.

Lastly, just to add....a scary old pic of mine! BOO!!! May you have nightmares tonight!!! XD XD XD

How do you get 4 lazy bums out to yamcha?

Man, remind me NOT TO EVER try and organize a day out with these lazy bums anymore. =.=" Not that I'll get much of a chance anymore anyway, since CY's gonna further his studies in UK early September while Merlin will be going over to Shanghai to help out his dad next year. (WTH?)

Ok, you may be asking who the hell are those 4 jokers?



There you go, I tell you, these 4 are the most difficult people to ask out EVER. Especially when you're the one who suggested it.

First, it'll go something like this:-
"Ei! CY, sienz ah! Let's go out watch a movie or sumthing la-!"
"K la, when ar? Me free ah...anytime oso can...you decide liao tell me la...."
"Tomolo how? Can la..."
"Tomolo ar...? Can la...I'm goin out to collect my results anyway...K lor, u go call the others....?"

Du...du...du...

"Oi, Matchy ar~! Tomolo tak han mou~? Lai lai go watch movie..."
"Tomolo ar, kenot la, only free after 5, got group thing la...."
"Liddat go out after 5 la! 5.30 ok mou? Leng?"
"Dunno la...gotta ask others sin la...later tell u la...."
"Wat later? Now wat time liao...5.30 can la!"
"K lor....now mm tak han, later confirm again la, bye!"

Tu...tu...tu....

"Wei Merlin, tomolo how? Free?"
"Can la...wat time ar?"
"5.30 liddat, leng mou?"
"5.30 ar....dinner liddat ar...can la....but i dunwan watch ghost movie wor...."
"Aiyah tomolo baru decide la, 5.30 ok mou?"
"K la k la...."

Tu...tu...tu...

"Oi CY, they say 5.30, ok oh?"
"5.30? So late buat aper....we afternoon go la...watch a movie sin, then when Match free come we watch 2nd round la...."
"Aiyo, liddat ar...k lor....u go tell the others la then"
"Dunwan la, u go call la...k? K? k...bye bye. Later tell me again"

Silence--....

Crap.

And the cycle continues.......

Gawd it's so difficult just to set a date because everyone is doing different things and everyone is so busy with life at different times.

I wanna cry liao. So now the whole outing tomorrow is cancelled, and postponed to Saturday....

....until someone remembered that his GF's birthday is on Sat. Crapz.

Frustrated...haih~

Speaking 'bout Obiwan Kenobi...

Okies....that reminds me of an old post on Kenny Sia's that attracted me to his blog...

"XiaXue (as Yoda): "Kenny sweetums. Horny I am. Fuck me you must!"
Kenny: "Yes, master."

*Undress. Kenny mounts XiaXue*

XiaXue: "Mmmmm.... Very nice that feels. Long lightsabre, you have!"
Kenny: "Thank you, master."
XiaXue: "Ooooh, fuck me harder my padawan! Use the Force! USE THE FORCE!"
Kenny: "Ohhh... Yes, master."
XiaXue: "Stop you must not! Cumming I am! CUMMING I AM!"
Kenny: "Hold on, master!"
XiaXue: "AAAAH!"

*BOOM! Xiaxue explodes*

Kenny: "Master?! MASTER!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"


Aiks I know that's horny, and don't get me wrong...I don't usually read these kind of stuff...just that his blog is too funny to resist.

Well if you think the excerpt above is funny, wait till you see the picture of the gal from Titanic (what's her name again?) lying on the chair naked for Jack to draw his potrait of her....except that her face is that of Yoda's.

Cheers! ;P

Dickonosaurus cerebus palpatineus von obiwan kenobicus. What the...?

Was bored so I decided to take a peek at the 'infamous' malaysian blogger Kenny Sia's blog. And gawd was I in for a laugh. I really salute how this guy can be so consistantly funny and entertaining on his blog.

Here's a sneak peak:

minishorts : i think your key.... i mean dick
minishorts : is the length of the word 'dick
minishorts : when typed out in times new roman font size 72.

minishorts : correct?
Kenny : well
Kenny : dick is a short-form
Kenny : the actual word is dickonorsaurus.

minishorts : that one
minishorts : if it is dickonorsaurus.
minishorts : then is is the length of that word typed out in times new roman font size ... 24
Kenny : scientific name. dickonosaurus cerebus palpatineus von obiwan kenobicus



GAWD. I didn't know the scientific name for dick is 'dickonosaurus cerebus palpatineus von obiwan kenobicus'. The scientist who first discovered A DICK must be a huge fan of Star Wars, no? =)

Pssst: For the full blog entry click here. A must read for the bored. :P

Siao siao di...

Ok! Finished my End of Semester exams, coming monday is my Japanese exam (screw it!) and my drums exam date is ACTUALLY August 15 NOT July 15.....(trust my teacher to mix such an important date up...Sigh)

So what am I gonna do now?

Hell, nothing.

After studying hard non-stop for almost a month, suddenly, I had nothing to do.

NOTHING. NADA. ZE-RO.

WHAT THE HELL?

For once, I fell so damn bored I really feel like banging my head on the wall.

No, it's not that I really have nothing that I SHOULD do....but then, it's nothing really major and it's kinda a let down after working hard for such a long time...you suddenly feel yourself falling into an abyss of nothingness.

Blank.

My mind is just blank.

I guess this is how workaholics are bornt...they get really worked up for some kind of important assignment, get themselves really REALLY busy for a reasonably long period of time, and when the job ends abruptly, suddenly, they find themselves landed in lala land with absolutely nothing, NOTHING to be worked up about anymore....just sit back and relax.........

.....relax.......

....sit around at home....go for a holiday on the sunny beach...frolicking in bikinis (let's just ASSUME it's a gal)....perhaps hook up with some hotty on da beach.....

...have more 'fun'....

...until...

...until...

...until they can't stand it no more and shout:"GAWD I CAN'T STAND ALL THESE FUN ANYMORE!!! I NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!! SOMETHING MEANINGFUL!!!!"

...and there they are back to their office table digging into piles of assignments, back to the kind of lifeless life they've gotten themselves accustomed to.

ALOHA~!!! A workaholic is bornt into this world!!! Lo and behold!!!

Heck, they don't need coffee. Their jobs themselves already are some kind of super strong triple...no make that QUADRUPLE-dose caffeine to them.

And why the hell am I trapped in this 'work-or-die' situation?

It doesn't help most of my buddies are either busy or off somewhere. Or rather, me myself have drifted apart from them, being kept occupied for such a long time.

Oh well, guess I'll be getting a job soon.

And thanks to ryoga, or Bruce, whichever you prefer, I may soon be getting one.

Wish me best of luck. =P
