clouds..

(photograph taken with my Moto v3x)

the unique view was seen during the early ride to Sri Aman. watching the sun rise along the way, it was rare for me to catch such thick "clouds" so near to ground !! :D

tag: time capsule..

was tagged by -juliana- to reveal something that has Special Values in my life.

the number one "value" has to be my -sister-. can't imagine how it would be if i didn't have her to support me, especially emotionally. back then when naivety is a huge part of me n everything doesn't seemed to go well ..

number two, of course, has -yuki- n -piggy- follow very closely behind .. ;)

movie: casanova..

he was such a helpless playboy before he met her. falling in love with her intelligence, he tries hard to win her heart without revealing his identity, for she despised his name without even needing to know him in person. a beautiful love story of Giacomo Casanova, casted by the late Heath Ledger.

"love is the weather being good everyday, because wind n rain are just another kind of good weather."
"love is not an affair of a night or a fortnight, n true love doesn't grow with the number of lovers, it wastes away."
"give me a man who is man enough to give himself just to the woman who is worth him. n if that woman were me, i would love him alone n forever."
- beautiful phrases taken from Casanova.

yuki (ゆき、雪)..

have i ever mentioned that my Punk is a busybody ?? well, he is giving the "what are you doing" face again. :p

anime: kyo no go no ni (今日の５の２)..

put together by multiple short stories, the anime is about the school life of these 8 boys n girls of class 5-2. a perfect mixture of comedy n romance. a relaxing anime indeed .. :)

Gaming: Cabal

i admit being rather competitive ("kiasu" as we called it locally) at the early stage. the game soon turned dull n unattractive. it is, indeed, a signal to start evaluating the attitude thingy .. as a result, the negative thoughts were abandoned soon after. "kiasu-ism" declared Failed to rule me !! as the emotion faded, i'm once again enjoying the game at my very own pace !! *peace*

it's all a matter of Perspectives. in fact, it is "just" a game. start comparing n competing, it's gonna lose it's main purpose (Fun!). can't wait for more discovery - on the game, n Myself !! ;)

sword skill ..

新泉春茶室 (sin chong choon cafe)..

located at Green Height (Kuching), the Sarawak Laksa served here is the Branch of 泉春茶室 (chong choon cafe). however, the laksa served here is much Better than the Main branch, which i find it rather .. odd .. *shrug*

movie: returner (リターナー)..

interesting !! it was very impressive for a 2002 film, i enjoyed it more than expected !! :D Goro Kishitani (岸谷五朗) was a surprisingly well-performed n believing villain. oh wait .. did i fall for the wrong character ?? :p

condolence..

dedicated this post in the memory of this adorable canine buddy -ah boy- (2002-2008) that belongs to -jing-. sadly, he died yesterday. as much as i heard about him, regrettably i've never gotten the chance to meet him face to face. may he rest in peace .. *grieving*

movie: linger (蝴蝶飞)..

it was kinda eerie at a certain point of the film - the "revenge" that started with romance. by chance, death do them apart. she forced herself to move on but failed; while he lingered on earth, unable to rest in peace.

an interesting film !! the mystery between life n death never fails to fascinate me. it was actually sad when they had to be separated again .. *sniff sniff*

some backgrounds on the movie:

saw the phrase from -des- 's blog. makes me smile reading through it. it is so True !! :) to -bun- n -jacovako-, Magic does exist, but Faith is essential for its existence.

Life is not about the amount of breaths you take,
it's about the moments ...
that take your breaths away.

doggy..

all i needed to do is to look at it, n it will stand nicely waiting patiently. i guess it is ruled by its tummy .. :p

blog badge: zodiacs?..

found the Blog Badge while visiting -jacovako- 's blog. she mentioned doing it while she was bored. found it rather interesting to share !! what's yours ?? ;)

Which Chinese Animal are you ??

movie: three kingdoms: resurrection of the dragon (三国之见龙卸甲)..

= !! = warning = !! = spoiler ahead = !! =

i was, again, told multiple times that this isn't an interesting movie. Strongly disagree (again) !! the movie touched me, made me feel so sad that they had to die so regrettably.

appearance of Andy (安志杰) surprised me even more !! had always been a big fan of his kungfu movies. his previous filmography can be found here: KungFu Actors .. ;)

Gaming: Cabal

haven't been addicted to any Online Games since Maple. thanks to -mel- for introducing -Cabal- a game pretty much similar to Dungeon Siege or Diablo. had been a Dungeon Siege fan, therefore it is definitely captivating for me .. ;)

死ぬ !!
opps missed .. :p

- director: Shoji Kawamori (河森正治)

honestly, i'm a robot-noob .. but since i don't ban it, it's a "why not" anime for me to watch. ;) turns out that i can understand it more than i thought i can. love it best when they transformed completely !!

*discovery mode: ON* :D

beautiful death ..

gleefulness..

"painted" with the aid of photoshop ..
(photograph taken with my Moto v3x)

lying on my back gazing around the unfamiliar surroundings, a flashback suddenly engulfed me. back to the time when i would giggled about almost every little thing that pleases me. a feeling so genuine that i would usually return with a hug or kiss, appreciating the moment ..

astonished to find myself grinning subconsciously along with the flow of thoughts, indulging myself with delightfulness. "i'm back .. i'm finally back .." transformation taking place n i'm submerging gradually from within the shadowy corners .. *giggles*

ただいま !! :)

anime: higurashi no naku koro ni kai (ひぐらしのなく頃に解)..

some backgrounds on the anime:
- episodes: 24
- director: Chiaki Kon (今千秋)
- released: 2007
- language: Japanese
- genre: Thriller/Crime


sequel:
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (2006)
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Special - Nekogoroshi-Hen (2007)
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (2007)

the previous season (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) was basically the introduction, the different "fate" each of the characters had faced. as for this season, with their unity n Power to defeat fate, they managed to turn things around.

indeed, Fate is something we can change ourselves ..

"what allows a general to win is foreknowledge", that is a fundamental warfare !!
- Satoko (沙都子) 's phrase in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (ひぐらしのなく頃に解).

who would have thought she grew up to be such a badass ..




the descended God - Hanyū (羽入) ..

discovery..

blending in ..
(photograph taken with my Moto v3x)

i was once convinced by a certain someone, that the wisest move is to start working right after my finals (exam). having him convinced me again n again, i swayed in my position n threw my own thoughts out of the window subconsciously.

was utterly Stunned to hear a statement out of the blue: "it's alright to have Some fun before you start working" ..

the point here, isn't about "working or not right after the finals", it is just So astonishing n thrilling to suddenly came across that single person - among the huge crowd - that speaks your mind out loud. now who said Magic left after you grew up ?? ;)

大発見する !! :D

tag: reasons i blog..

i was tagged by -caca- to reveal any conscious reasons that causes me to blog. had almost never gave it a thought, interesting !! thanks for the tag, -caca- !! ;)

(1) similar to the reason i read, watch movie or anime -- to satisfy my thirst of discovering new ideas. :)

(2) to express myself -- some called me "emotional", others called me "poetic", there's this thing about literatures n languages that fascinates me.

(3) to uncover more interesting terms n phrases n idioms.

(4) to share my "treasures" n discoveries .. ;)

(5) to know more friends, even if it is just virtual-buddies.

(6) to enjoy n uncover beauty. to me personally, languages, music, drawings are all part of the beauty presented by the world.

(7) to arouse my senses. blogging itself has causes me to look around myself with more fascination n care, to start observing -- the sky above me, the people around me, or even the unnoticeable trivial matters ..

i believe we grew over time, along with our thoughts n perspectives. a wise man once told us, "it is pitiful not to grow Up, while you are growing Old". aging never stops, if our mind doesn't grow along with us, it is not something to be bragged as "young", it is just "childish" ..

*remembering n again, Grateful, for an old friend that once lend me a helping hand, n led me away from depression*

a Hug from me to you !! ;)

在网上看到这篇“星座配对”，蛮好玩的。大家就来研究、研究吧！:D

星座比重： 52:48
自尊意识强烈、不肯服输的狮子座，大体上正符合白羊座的理想。而你面对充满抱负，不肯屈服困难，拥有冒险的精神的白羊座，更是心生自信。如果你一直坚持自己无聊自大的理论，可能就会被白羊视为幼稚、天真。因此，偶尔必须诚恳地将自己的感受用言语表现出来。如果你想和白羊有更进一步交往的话，无须耍什么小花招，只要直接向对方表白即可。

Furude Rika (古手梨花)

this is a short story separated from the first episode of the anime (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni). another perspective of telling the story, a very simply introduction to the "Oyashiro-sama Curse".

some places in this world are considered Taboo. in this world, where there is light, there is always shadow .. where there are good places, there are bad ones as well .. there are instances where threading upon these places will make people miserable without reason. when us human are unable to define such dreadful places well in words, we called such places "taboo".
- Rika (梨花) 's phrase in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gaiden Nekogoroshi-hen (ひぐらしのなく頃に外伝 猫殺し編).

fondness..

(photograph taken with my Moto v3x)

the increased familiarity overwhelms me, the emotion exposure thrills me, as contentment soothes me from within. every little thing that reminds me of you has its effect on me ..

あなたが会いたい .. :3
