Must haves. Trust me. At least the top few?

Hmmm...here's a simple compilation of songs that I would like to share. Don't know whether the bandwidth still stand for how long, but please do give them a try. These are not exactly my top favourites, but they'll suffice.

And the same old problem arises....ANYONE KNOWS ANYWHERE WITH HIGH BANDWIDTH THAT I CAN HOST MY MP3 FILES? And bigger uploading size limit..preferable more than 5MBs. Thanks a lot. =)

(roughly ordered by preference from top to bottom..it's too difficult to decide!)

Agony by Kotoko [4:22] [3.99MB]
My current favourite. Up-beat and futuristic techno stuff. From Kannaduki no Miko. In typical Kotoko style.

In This Serenity by Mayumi Gojo [1.38] [4.80MB]
Originating from Xenosaga. Really beautiful tune and transitions which will conjure mixed emotions.

Numb by Linkin Park [3:07][2.86MB]
Noisy and full of angst...just the way I like it. =P

Heaven by Eva Cassidy [4:04] [5.59MB]
Beautifully sang by the songstress herself...recently also remixed by Dj Sammy for the 9/11 tragedy. I'm not so sure whether Eva Cassidy did sing this, because I couldn't find any info on this song from Eva Cassidy websites. But, beautiful nevertheless.

Must be Dreaming by Frou Frou [4:02] [5.53MB]
Surreal and fuzzy sounds. I got to know this song from the AMV below (link provided). So my judgement may be biased, but whatever goes. This song is still nice nevertheless.

Reason by Nami Tamaki [4:48] [6.59MB]
Call me biased...but this song is nice! From Gundam Seed Destiny! XD XD XD

Cubano Chant by Art Blakey [3:56] [3.60MB]
Heavy cubano and blues feel. Excellent song! I love the piano part. Found this song when my drums teacher asked me to look up Art Blakey's songs. Kinda old recording, so please forgive the kinda odd singing. =P

Akatsuki no Kuruma by See-Saw [5:05] [5.85MB]
Melancholic sad song from Gundam Seed about the wheels of destiny...innocent victims dying in the distant stars to the rhythm of the guitar...

Wait & See by Utada Hikaru [4:50] [5.54MB]
Ok, the quality ain't that good, and she sounds a bit screechy, but I like her songs. =) Upbeat.

Come What May by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor [4:48] [4.40MB]
Taken from Moulin Rouge. A beautifully stunning and touching duet...although their vocal controls are not that excellent.

Addicted to you by Utada Hikaru [6:16] [5.75MB]
Hikaru again...catchy.

Somewhere over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy [4:58] [4.54MB]
Excellent rendition of the song. I can never dream of singing this song this way. But a bit too draggy I think.

Forgotten by Linkin Park [3:14] [2.96MB]
As usual...Linkin Park style. This song's slicker than the others.

Ignited by T.M. Revolution [3:19] [4.5MB]
Ok...you can call me biased AGAIN...From Gundam Seed Destiny. Either you'll love or hate it. =P

Wars of the Last Wolves by Iwasaki Taku [6:09] [5.64MB]
Really nice instrumental song from Rurouni Kenshin.

爱情 by Karen Mok [4:46] [4.36MB]
Don't ask me why I put this song at the end of the list. *shudders* -___-"

Realization of facts.

Decided to debate on Kanzaki's viewpoint. A bit bothered by his replies.

oh plz, there is nothing wrong with anime. The only thing that makes anime childish is the minds of the "childish' public regarding it to be.

Oh for heaven sake, I've NEVER EVER said anime is childish. In fact, I think most animes are actually more matured than a lot of those slapstick-comedy and CG-enhanced-kungfu chinese serials out there. They carry messages that reflects the modern society, reveals the naked ugly truth about humanity and provokes your beliefs of the norm. I only said I will quit RAVING about animes (MEANING TONE DOWN) and write on more trivial matters closer to my heart. YOU, of ALL PEOPLE, should KNOW that I would NEVER treat anime as child's play. Oh gawd, I feel so disappointed. And I THOUGHT you always understood me. I guess my trust in your judgements is misplaced.

A name is a mere representation of you. It speaks for u by the means of people knowing that name. Having a name makeover is nothing but changing a mean. It has nothing to do with ur personal makeover wht ppl admire is the change bhd the name, not the name that u carry as it is now. Brandon, CY, Kanzaki or whtever, it's still me. I am myself, and the names carry nthin more than telling thm who I am.

True, this I agree with you. I'm still me no matter what. I apologize for making a misleading statement down below in my first post, those stages of me changing personalities are gradual changes since a child till now, and not any abrupt change. Just that each and every stage of me is quite different from the other. And who wouldn't change in a period of 20 years? Everyone encounters different experiences unique to that person alone, and even the smallest event can drastically change a person all together. If you are going to tell me that you've been stagnant as the same old you since a child, then I would say you're a VERY BORING and STATIC person indeed. Every human is a dynamically changing entity, continuously changing and adapting to his or her environment. That's what make every individual colourful and different from the other person walking down the street. That is what I call as MATURATION, DIFFERENTIATION AND DEVELOPMENT mentally, physically and spiritually. Role changes are a common phase of GROWING UP. And you do have to admit people do perceive you differently from the experience they have with you and also from the point of meeting.

For example, your Exile. I'm pretty much sure most people who knows you as Exile WILL NEVER THINK that you're actually pursuing a law degree, passing with flying colours. Same here, most people who knows me as Chidori (as in those who only knows me superficially) would think that I'm a never-serious girl who only wants to have fun and play around.

And to straighten up facts, I used different names because it'll be easier for me to identify from which group of friends they have came to know me. I enjoy observing people with different cultures and beliefs, therefore I prefer to seperate or suppress different faces of me in order to blend in. Alyssa is a name I've chosen for my batchmates to easier remember my name.

And I am not slapping u awake coz it hurts me more than it hurts u to do tht. My hands deserves more. U need self reflect, and u gotta do it urself.

I know. Thanks a lot for guiding me in my decision makings on several occasions in the past. I'm always ever grateful to you.

And yes, nothing nice ever comes out of my mouth. U can look for someone else to tell u the sweet stuffs. Which ever you prefer.

That's what friends are for. =) Someone who only sweet talks is not a true friend who will slap you with the true situation no matter how painful it stings.

As the saying goes, the truth always hurts.

Results Day.

Crap.

I've been waiting for this day for like so long since around a month ago when we took this accessment, and they took such a long f***ing time to mark some simple questions and answers. To think that we're actually paying RM24,900 every semester for this....&$*#&$*&%#$%

Okies, cursings aside, I guess almost everyone did pretty well with lots of As around, except for a few unexpected ones whose long faces and blurry eyes pretty much explained everything.

And yeah, for the record, I got an A too. =P

Not that it's something to boast about anyway, but I'm happy with it. Hope I can keep it up with all the stuff that had happened after my first summative accessment:- singing practice, break ups, falling deeper for someone, yadda yadda yadda....just to name a few.

In other words, I've pretty much slacked off track by thousands of miles, with barely sufficient time to make it back up.

OH CRAPZ.

Someone, anyone, slap me awake please.

DARN.

Strayed back to path.

Okies, time to take a break from straying and just get back on track. The road that I've chosen to take long ago, it is now time to seriously go achieve it. Time to put effort and perspiration on it again.

I've decided to quit the old flowery blog and start this new one. I don't know why, but I don't even feel like stepping back into that blog again since a month ago or so. Perhaps because I've got nothing more to write on those matters? The raving and crap about lala-land and anime and junks. Guess I couldn't put my life on the dissection board anymore and let other people have a good laugh over it. Don't have that much free time anyway.

I've never regretted any actions I've did in the past, but I just do not wish to go back to those times again.

On August 15th 1985, a baby girl was bornt into this semi-medical family, treasured to the max by her parents, and raised like a gem. As a result, I tend to be quite self-centered as a child. With all the weird antics and all. And it doesn't really help that I don't have any siblings which I can look upon to or give a caring hand to. I was the girl everyone loved to be but also loved to hate.

Then came the phase of personal imprisonment. Well, literally in a way. Imprisoning your true self, and wear on a societal mask, an image that you wish to project to others. Guess it didn't really worked either, but I've had my fair share of fun.

And there's also the time when I just want to explore things, explore everything there is as long as the opportunity crosses my path. The process of maturation, and self-experimenting. I took on a number of different roles over a period of a few years, changed personalities, traded environments and allies. That's why, different people tend to perceive me differently. Matured, self-centered, fun, out-going, strong-outside-but-weak-inside, maniatic, care-free, not-serious....you name it I've got it. Well, perhaps not ALL personality types but at least numerous enough to play around. Plus I tend to shun the people I've known in the earlier phases in my life when I proceed to the following one.

That kind of explains my many names too.

Neptune, Chidori, Haruka, Kumiko, etc....

And now, Alyssa.

Seriously if you ask any of my friends who's not in IMU, they wouldn't have a damn idea who the heck is Alyssa.

But, I've decided to stick to it for now, at least for a few years. Tagged with a gradual makeover that's it.

So, goodbye, and hello Alyssa...
