no matter how much she dragged herself during the flight, the full impact didn't hit her until she were in the airport. she picked up her luggage and headed to the taxi stand, where she realized what she was doing. her chest contracted, heart pounded. by the time she reached the entrance, she was in the middle of a full blown panic attack. he was in full pace in front of her, she reached forward weakly and grabbed his arm. he stopped in his tracks but kept his back to her. her hands were shaking so badly that the people around were starting to stare.

Dantalian no Shoka ダンタリアンの書架 (2011)

Huey received a mysterious key after the death of his grandfather. according to his will, Huey must take custody of Dalian, a guardian of the Archives that contained forbidden knowledge in magical books. he met up with Dalian, who appeared as a child who lived in an estate. he agreed to be Dalian's new Keykeeper and investigating incidents that were related to people misusing the power of these magical books. he had to use his power as a Keykeeper to seal the books and restore order.

the anime was unique in way that the success depended fully on the interactions between the 2 main characters. if separated, Huey was just a calm, cool looking gentleman, while Dalian was a rich, spoilt girl. together, their teamwork managed to solve not only the magical books problems but made them sparkled. in some ways, this relationship of theirs reminded me of Spice and Wolf (2008).

Happy Family 哈比全家福 (2012)

after the production of 媒人帮 (2011), ntv7 together with 8TV and OneFM came out with 哈比全家福 (2012). the story started with the Cong and Jiaxin, a newlywed who returned to their hometown for Chinese New Year. Cong's relationship with his family members were as bad as arguing over every small matter. the place reminded him of the wish he made when he was young, to replace all his family members. after his family planned for a trip without him, Cong was angry and surprised to find them still at home the next day. Jiaxin had accidentally brought the family out from a photograph by using a "Happy Potion". although they looked the same as the real person, they acted completely different.

unlike Astro and MyFM's production, ntv7's approach was more exaggerated. the storyline was absolutely unique, engaging in a sense that we were often left wanting to know what will happen next during the advertisement breaks. what failed to connect us were the exaggerated facial expressions. it threw us off for being unbelievable, having a split image of Singapore's comedy style. despite the intense competition with Astro and MyFM's production in the background, it was actually exciting to see the improvements of Malaysia's film production after a decade. there are still plenty of rooms for improvements, but with competition on the line, we are confident that there will be better productions in near future.

Kvetch.

while she was looking for something to read, he popped in with the reminder. she hadn't forgotten, intended to do it before heading out. she didn't appreciate the reminder, as if he thought she needed one. she didn't know how much he knew about it, nor did she want to know. he would go on and on about protecting her from getting hurt, so much for doing nothing to interfere. she preferred the idea that when she left, she brought along some delusional freedom, with the hope of it transforming into something real someday.
