Karei-naru Ichizoku

Looking for a new show to watch and don't know which? Try Karei-naru Ichizoku, stars Takuya Kimura.

When I first downloaded, I was reluctant to watch because the subs were not out out. Now it's out until episode 5, I watched it all yesterday, and I'm craving more more as episode 6 and 7 is out but only without the subs!!! WAAAAHHH! One thing I can assure, its a good show.

This story is adapted from a novel by Yamazaki Toyoko and a movie in 1974. It shows the conflict of interest between Manpyo Daisuke (Kitaooji Kinya), a powerful banker, and his eldest son, Manpyo Teppei (Kimura Takuya), the executive managing director of a steel firm. Daisuke dislike Teppei because Teppei had chose to follow his grandfather path to work in a steel industry than to follow his dad into the banking world-and also Teppei looked very much alike his grandfather. Not liking his son, Daisuke tried to crush him in every way he could. For more detail info, go here. For the official site, click here.

I seriously think this is the best Japanese dorama so far. I can't explain how, but you'll know when you watch this! A MUST WATCH show. Grab this.


F(l-r): Teppei, Fusako, Daisuki, onna(Aiko), Genpei
B: Sanae, Tsugiko, Makino, Mima

Short Update

Eat that down! Gulp that down!

I went to Johnny Steamboat(Thai steamboat, so halal). My parents, sis, and myself went for a dinner with Aunt Lulu and Uncle Ahmad, their daughter, Munira, and the boyfriend(I don't know his name). Okay, let's go into the main storyline. First, as I enter into the restaurant, only a few people there. Secondly, slow service, not to mention bad as well. I wasn't satisfied with the steamboat, so I ordered side dishes, Thai fried rice. First of all, rice no taste. Second, nasi berkelompok! Third, the carrot so hard as if it's raw. The pineapple is ok. And...they(everyone except me, mum, and sis) complimented that the rice was good! Hell!


Photo of the day:


r-l: Alvin, Chris, mua

Yeah so basically, after dinner at around 11pm, we went to Aloha. Yeh, only the three of us. I wasn't prepared for club because Chris said he just wanted to go to somewhere nice and drink liquor, and I wore shorts and slippers. Later Alvin called, wanting to follow so he suggested Aloha. Hah! Boleh masuk ka with slippers? (It means 'can I go in with slippers?'). Drove there, parked, and simply walked in. Hey I passed. So we took a table and ordered jugs of Carlsberg. Seriously, Carlsberg is a-okay. We drank and listen to the music. Made some friends-but not know their names. Only got their numbers. LOL. What a joker.

I was alright when I were blogging before my bro came back and bug me, and now I'm fucking pissed!

Do you know how rock artists make money? Or how they earn money from their albums? I was astonished when I found this out from Burn.

Apparently, rock artist do not earn much from their album CDs. Let's take a ramdon rock artist, MUCC. When you go over the counter to purchase their CD, you will forked out RM 46.9-RM50, as it is imported from Japan. So do you think all that goes to them? Burn said, maybe a buck or two goes to them, and the rest goes to the middle men, the the printing, the cover, and etc.

Therefore, rock artists are encouraging P2P(torrent downloads, eMule, LimeWire, etc). This way they would get bigger fan base. I think its totally true. Just like L'Arc, I first got to know them through their music, Niji(the OP for Samurai X movie). Of course, I don't just dash to the shop and purchase the CD by only listening to A SONG! I came online, search for the song, and learned the artist, and start downloading their discography. Only then I'll decide whether to buy or not to buy. However, if you're talking about famous pop artist, maybe it's true that they earn money from their albums. I can't illustrate this because I don't know of any pop artist. Lol.

That aside, I've been on Yahoo! Pool quite frequent these days. How pathetic is that? I can't shoot an actual pool ball that I need to play it online. Anyway, upon 20 guys, I can only find one decent guy to chat with. The rest are just plain asshole who needs sex...ONLINE! Well they're more pathetic, aren't they? Just get hooker and do real sex instead of cybersex. I've also get to know this nice lady, from UK who works in finance field! How nice is that? She told me 1001 tricks in finance and how to earn good cash. She told me which company to approach and which not to approach. She even gave me a valuable piece of advice. And guess what? I didn't get her name! How more dumb can I be? However, I got her e-mail though. =)

I went out with Jeevs the other day in Mid-Valley. I was actually ditched by my friend *FIERCE LOOK* so I called him out. He was about to faint when he saw me in skirt, plus the paintings on my fingers! He said he would've died seeing too much in a day, and then rephrase that its not worth dying for me. Lol. (Jeev, I don't need you to die for me!) We went to some cafe beside Swatch to have lunch, with SueAnn and Pranava. I should've brought my new cam along, so I can show you how pathetic my lunch is. I ordered 'chicken in fruitty sauce'. When the dish came, the proportion is so damn small, and I can even count how many bites of chicken pieces I have! I wasn't satisfied with my food and I went to Crispy Pohpiah then. I was really fussy. When I ordered, they wanted to give me the ready-make-served-there pohpiah. I told them I want fresh and new one and they replied it is, they just made it. I say NO, I want you to do a new one. Hahaha. After all I'm paying, and its my tummy, I do have the right to request for a new one!


This is my sis hand (I took this)


And this is mine (compare the clarity; mum & sis have no talent in photography)

You got me! I'm fucking pissed NOW!

It's holiday! This Chinese New Year is great!!

Howdy peeps! I've been away for few days, then again I guess most of my blogger friends are too. It's Chinese New Year and everyone's busy collecting angpows, included me. I've managed to visit most of my friend's house, including Jo's, and Chien Li. Never I have been to Chien Li's house, and I was excited the night before. Hahaha. Just like a child.

Sunday, Feb18
It's the first day of Chinese New Year (CNY). My family and I went back to dad's hometown in Muar, Johor. A normal ritual reunion of all relatives, excluding Steve's family this year. He's busy in his final year project, so forgive him. However, met Esther and brothers, and all my aunts and uncles. A big family tree, I, of course expect big angpows. Hehe. Took dozens of pictures with Esther and brothers, but have yet to received them.

A very tired day because we made a day trip back.

Monday, Feb 19
My friend came visiting in the morning. We played some Uno strip, oh yess baby! Of course, we went in the room, switch on the air-cond, and I grab whatever sweater and shawl that's in my room. Then we started playing. I want to strip, but I can't because I kept winning! My bro and sis and my friend stripped. Muahaha. A good sight-seeing. =P

Then later in the noon, me and my family went to grandma's house. We chit chat, then go for dinner at Sakae Sushi in The Curve. I remember Sakae's temaki not nice, so I did not ordered that. So I ordered the usual food I ate there. It was a big group, my cousins and I, plus our mums and dads. Hahaha. After dinner, we walked around in The Curve and took pictures for my sister under the fake Sakura trees. Oh well, it's a Sakura tree!

Tuesday, Feb 20
Went out with Chien Li and meet Jee Wang for lunch. Again, sushi for lunch at Sushi King in Mid-Valley. I remembered the last I ate there was last year, with Cheng Yen and Li Yen, and I sort of like got food poisoning. However, I ordered salmon, ohh I love my raw fish. And again, Kitsune Udon(pretty much same as last night dinner, except for Hana Maki and Tempura Cheese Crepe). Later on, Jee Wang went off, he didn't want to join us for girls' shopping. So me and Chien Li walked around in Mid-Valley. Later on we went back to her place.

As I said, it's the very first time in my life going to her house, though we knew each other for almost 16 years, and I spent half on my lifetime with her. Hahaha. I always go her uncle's place though. Yehh, so we went back and chit chat till late evening. It was good seeing her again, and now I know the road there, we could hang out often. Again, we took a few pics, and yet to received it from her.

Wed, Feb 21
Tired day. I hardly slept for the past few days because my brothers and sister insisted on playing cards till late late night. I woke up everyday with one eye swollen like as if I watched porn, you know people say the red eye. Hahaha.

Today I went to Jo's place around 10.15am, I think. My car's clock and hp is always 10 minutes faster, I think. Hahaha. I'm not sure. Went there, chit chat, and played some piano. She taught me how to play one of Yoshiki's piece, Forever Love. I, have yet to master this piece. I wanted ti take picture with her but her battery died, and my handphone's batt low, so can't take photo. I left at around 12pm because she have church event at 1pm.

Later I went to Crawford's place. I wanted to go empty handed but he said NO. Lol. SO... I had to go home and pack some stuff which I don't know what is it. I just simply take whatever that's within reach. Went to his house, ate some cookies, and read some mags. Most of the time, I was chatting with his mother. He's suppose to come like now...but I wonder if he'll come. Hahaha.

He invited me to his friend's place I think(again think!) for gamble till next morning I assume. In Petaling Jaya. I drive. So what do you think?

I have not heard from PuiYee, I guess she's enjoying. Susi ditch me and went back without informing me!! So cruel. And Burn is trying to rip me off my angpow for Allegro!! Too cruel. And I have plans to do with my angpows. It's time to feed my iPod with nice accessories and headphone! I've been dying to get a Grado S60(the most affordable at the moment). Come to me baby!

Mou sukoshi dake!

Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake!
I'm guilty. I'm a sinner. It has been vindicated.

Have you heard of the anime director's clock? Apparently The Daily Yomiuri announced that Hayao Miyazaka had designed a huge clock that is 12 meters high, 18 meters wide and projecting three meters forward of the building's facade, and it weight at 28 tons. Its exterior is made of 1,228 sheets of copper, each one shaped by hand. This clock is hung at the outer wall of Nippon Television Network in Shiodome, Tokyo.


Pic courtesy of ANN

This clock is being completed in 16 months(a year and four months), after the construction starts. It is preset with entertainment function. When the clock strikes, a three-minute show will be launched that features 32 different kinds of mechanically programmed motions at a time. The mechanical show is performed four times a day: at noon, 3pm, 6pm and 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays, it is also performed at 10am.

And do you know in China, singles tend to rent a lover during special occasions? According to China Daily, a psychic student at Peiking University posted an advertisement saying "A girlfriend during Spring Festival 1,000 yuan ($128) for 10 days". 20 girls had responded to this advert within 2 days. The media report said that those responded to the advert are either looking for fun or money and they warned that is could be dangerous.

While in Korea, the suicide rate has increased tremendously from 11.8 per 100,000 people in 1995 to 26.1 per 100,000 in 2005. Yuni was found hanged on Jan 21 which have shocked all of her fans who's awaiting for the release of her third album. Actress Jeong Da Bin committed suicide because of depression over shortage of work. So now you think Korea is cool? Nevertheless, I still like Korea - the nice traditional gown; its food; its culture; and the pretty girls. No doubt that there's hundreds of beautiful actress, but on my top list would be Song Hye-Kyo, Eugene, and Choi Ji Woo. Hehehe.

Bleach, more BLEACH!

Okay, I think I'm overdoing this. But I've just watched Bleach 114 and 115 and I greatly felt the need to blog about it. Let's see, I'm more of a visual person so I'll post up a few snapshot from the series.

In episode 114, the gang, Renji, Rangiku, Toushirou, Yumichika, and Ikkaku made a grand entrance towards the end of the episode. See our Hitsugaya Taichou is angry because Kurosaki called him Toushirou. Hahaha.

Hitsugaya Toushirou

Rukia suddenly appeared at the window, and immediately fly towards Kurosaki and kicked him. Ouch!

Rukia & Ichigo

Then came the rest of the gang trying to scare off the students there. That's Ikkaku with his bald head and his katakana. And on the extreme right, we've got Rangiku-san with her uhm ohh lala outfit! Lol.


And now we have Kurosaki's father and sister ears drop when he brought Rukia into his room. And all of the sudden, this gang, except Hitsugaya, came out from his ceiling's light.


And now...we have our main star for the day...which is...Aizen!

As you can see, he no longer wears glasses, and his hair is comb like the typical usual bad guys.

There's actually much more detail about the episode, but I'm not a good story teller. So I would advise you going to Bleach fansite to read and discuss about it. I wanna hurry watch the next episode. Kyaa~~Can't wait for it!

Btw, Naruto has came out with a new series I assume? Or perhaps is a movie? Or sequel? Or OVA? I've no idea. It's called Naruto Shippuuden. Now I'm downloading episode 1 & 2(which actually comes together in a file). I hope this would be good. After all, I haven't watched Naruto in ages, my brother did though.

So...I also did watch Kekkaishi episode 12. PLease anyone let me know where can I get the ending song?! I've been downloading a number of tools to rip out the ending song from the anime itself but it doesn't seem to work. I'm craving for the song. I like how the singer played with his voice. Pulling it high and low. Is that even the term to use to describe someone's voice? I've no idea. In this episode, Madarao killed his long life friend, Kouya. Kouya has deep vengeance towards human, understandable because he was killed by one. And guess what? Yoshimori has finally become Madarao's new master after putting back the seal on Madarao. Way to go Yoshimori!

Now what other anime there is? Ohh there's SlamDunk, a very old anime, but nevertheless, it's good. Yes, I'm re-watching this now. Why? Because Sakuragi is soo cute. Muahahah.

I was told Tetsu's single will be out anytime soon. Owh man, I can't wait for this! Been missing Tetsu a lot, and of course, Larcy as well.

Gi's chores

Woke up at 10 plus, when Cheng Yen called. I'm terribly lazy to get out from my bed. I wanna continue sleeping. Who dares disturb my slumber? Cheng Yen! So I brushed my teeth, washed my face, no breakfast for me. I'm getting angry, where's my breakfast?!

I did my laundry today. Fuh, tiring. Then I let the machine do the wonder drying it for me, and I hung it up at the balcony. Later, I cleaned my room, my manga, my anime, and my CD collections-all dusty. Next, I move to my computer, cleaning the table, monitor, CPU, printer, speaker, basically almost everything. It's all dusty. I rearranged my anime and Cds. I finished this all in pretty 2 hours! Fast eh?

Kiang asked me to take some pictures of my anime and manga collections. I would love to, but sadly my stupid camera had to find fault with it. I've to fix the display and lens-which would roughly cost AT LEAST RM300. I might as well buy a new one, no? But no, cuz I'm very much in love with my IXUS500. My darling cam had accompanied me for 2 years already, and I can't just ditch it. So I decided to fix the baby after CNY when I get my red packets.

Last night, I watched X TV. I wonder, does X TV comes first or X 1999 Movie? Because both have totally different ending. In X TV, many died. I'm pissed, can't Kamui do something instaed of waiting for all to sacrifice themselves before he can put up his barrier? Ahh, I hate it when Sorata died, the most heart touching scene. I hate it that Arashi can't be honest with herself. I hate it when Karen died protecting Aoki. I hate it when everyone is trying their best to protect the earth while Kamui linger around like a weakling. I hate it when Kamui finally understood what it meant to protect someone, and he died after putting up his barrier. However, he managed to get Fuma back. I hate it when anime has such bad/sad ending. I hate hate hate....

In X 1999 movie, Fuma died. I hate it when he knows he's going to die and yet still fought with Kamui. I hate it when Kamui chop of Fuma's head, and that's when Forever Love(X Japan) song come up. It's just so friggin sad. I hate it when Fuma killed his sister, Kotori. It's the same in X TV. I hate it when other died for somebody.

And my hero is....Sorata! The most cheerful in the 7 Angels, the most optimistic, the most bubly, the most caring and etc etc etc
.

Aside from that, I forgot to mention, I've just finished Kagrra's new album, Shizuku. It's short, with only 9 tracks. However, it's good. I like most is the track Hakai. Somehow listening to this track, it reminds me of an English band, and I still can't remember its name. I wanted to upload Hakai on fileden but my connection sucks. SUCKS big time.

I have bad feeling about this CNY somehow. I don't know. My 6th sense is acting up =P

A tired day, I'm all worn out, yet still here at 2.32A.M

Yare yare yare.

Today, okay more like yesterday I went to college. Why again in college? Well I have reasons for this. To meet up with PuiYee and JoJo for lunch, and also Jeevs but he couldn't make it. I also went to see Mr. Lim to get my reference. So let me tell you about today. Long story.

I woke up at around 10am, bathe and to get ready. I haven't even packed my bag goodness. I hurried up pack all my stuff that I need with me, basically very few things. So I hurried out the house because my brother needs me to send him to work. So he kept calling me from downstairs. I went down quickly and forgot to bring Mr. Lim's valentines gift. Lol. Joking la, it's just my token of appreciation.

So I sent my brother to work, and only then I realized it forgot to bring my file(important!). So after dropping him, I turned back to get it. I felt like I missed something but I don't know. After reaching Subang, crap, only remembered I forgot Mr. Lim's Valentines gift. So I drove around ss14 to see if they sell any 'kam' and cookies but found none. I called Jo up to ask and she suggested ss15(KFC side). So I waited for her at the bridge and we went together.

First round, I couldn't speak Chinese so I asked Jo to accompany me in. Went in the shop, (some event happening). Then we went at the back to pick some kam and got cookies(more like biscuits) for him. Then I hurried back to ss14 and parked to meet PuiYee. She's waiting for me/waited for me for 10 minutes.

Walk walk we went to Sweet Cafe for lunch. PuiYee didn't like food, JoJo's food is oily, and I, I love my food. I ordered Cheese fried rice. It's nice, but the cheese, seeing the way the cook it, I think my mum could also do that. Just fried the rice and top up with cheese. Voila!

After lunch, JoJo went back to library to do her work, while me and PuiYee went back to her house. Before going to PuiYee's house, I met my lecturers. [The event of meeting lecturer is not interesting thus no need to mention].

So later on, decided to go to Mid-v with PuiYee. And the journey began. Okay, I don't really remember where we started from. We saw this uhm Chinese acrobatic. This girl(quite fat) she lifted a big vase(80-90kg!) with only her two legs. Then a volunteer volunteered to sit in it, plus another girl on top of it(say perhaps 200kg?) It was amazing, because she didn't just lifted it up, but turned it around as well! Very impressive I must say.

After that acrobatic thingy, we walked around in Mid-V, see things. Many things. We went to here and there. I can't really remember. Maybe because I'm starting to feel sleepy. I remembered going in BodyShop asking the senior assistant this and that but ended up bought nothing. I remembered we went in TheFaceShop and played with their testers. PuiYee had her left hand's nails coloured while I got only three of my left painted. We looked around in the shop and went out empty handed. Then we head to Arazali(my fav shop) because they put a big 'SALES PROMOTION DISCOUNTS' and ended up found that the discount is for only above RM300 of purchase! Damn you Arazali. People's is next. I liked a bag there. It's soft and nice, cost RM69.90 with a 10% discount, which is still In RM60plus. Therefore it's expensive. I have no cash.

Took some pictures at the CNY decoration in the center court, and we adjourned to Zara. Saw some pretty & cheap dresses but all in L sizes. Urghz. Then we tried on their shawls(mine red, PuiYee's pink) and took picture at the mirror. Suddenly the mirror started moving, and only to realize it's a store room behind. And there's a lady standing on my back's right watching us. So we placed back the shawl to where it is. Spooky cuz I'm asked if I wanted it. And...we went out with nothing! So basically it's window shopping plus fooling around cuz we have so much of free time.


Ever seen me in a skirt? Well it's your lucky day...

Then when we went out of Zara...lalala. I dislike lala guys. Given handsome look but in lala dressing. Urghz. Them, nothing to do, hense start arghz I'm so angry speaking about this. Anyway that's the end of the day out with PuiYee.

Supposed to meet Cheng Yen for pool but I didn't have enough time too because of timing problem. Supposed to go to Maison with Jeevs but I can't get Susi on phone. And supposed to go even can't get her, mum told me to stay home. Supposed to get a reply from my dear but there's none. There's just so many of supposed....

Some extra info. Can you guessed how many meals I had for the day?
-Nasi Lemak in the morning (big portion)
-Cheese Fried Rice for lunch
-Korean Fried Noodle in the evening
-Chocolates soon after the noodles
-Rice for dinner(mum cooked)
-Cookies right after dinner

And I told Burn I'm still craving for Mee Goreng and we should go Steven's Corner like later in the evening. Then we will go for Ghost Riders, with Chuan too.

Just for my own use:
::ChienLi still owe me a day out-we're supposed to have 2 remember? Korean food and Japanese food!
::I owe Cheng Yen my day out.
::I owe Jeevs one, and he owed me one too. (too bad we can't like cancel off each other's debt)
::I owe Burn an Allegro.
::Me and PuiYee should take more pictures.
::I've noticed that I seldom take pictures with Chien Li, Jo, Li Yen, Jeevs, and Susi.
...and we'll see how things go on.

Feb the 14th, so what.

So what's so special with Valentines? Someone tell me. Apparently, I've now been labeled as blockhead by others. Cheng Yen said I'm a firewall. True indeed. Oh well I rest my case.

Went out with PuiYee yesterday. Went for Sakae Sushi at The Curve. Man, I think I've gained a few pounds there! I ordered so much stuff and I could barely finished it. But somehow I did. Hahaha.

Then we walked around at The Curve. We first head to Niichi. Tried quite a few dresses and skirts but none of it to my preference. Walk and walk we ended up at Cineleisure. I bought my hoodie at Seraphine. I was a girly shop I admit but uhm, don't judge the shop by its interior! It was quite pricey but I have no regrets there. I love my hoodie! Yeah, and I also took a picture with the big bear. Guess how much? It's just RM399/499. I don't remember which. Not bad yea. Blek.

Then we went to this shop called J-style. Ohh I love a skirt there. It's black with red linings. Reminds me of Nana's skirt. Not that Hachi. So punk-ish. But they don't have my size. I could fit in the S size, but I don't like cuz it wears my waist. Therefore I've decided to forego it, though I love it so much. It's really hard to decide.

Later we back to The Curve and passed by this stall that sells shawls. I wanted to get a black one, and I so happened to saw it there. So I just simple asked the price and the man told me it's RM29. I go like "Urghz, so expensive. It's okay. Thanks anyway". I think he's to desperate to sales he offered me RM25. I said no. Then he asked how much I want, and I replied I don't want. Gosh, so persistent. Finally he gave me for RM20. And I said okay. Muahahaha. Am I good at haggle?

Went in to Metrojaya to look around and got nothing. As we wanted to leave, we saw this big F.O.S(I have no idea what it stands for). So we stepped in there. It was really big, and surprisingly cheap. I got a skirt there and PuiYee got a purple shirt. Nice! Later on we passed by MCKY. I went in to see if the shoe and bag I wanted are still there. Unfortunately, no. Urghz. I should've bought them earlier.

Ohh guess what happened today? I was sleeping in the morning and someone called me at around 10ish wishing me Happy Valentines. I asked who is that...and he replied Lim Lay Kong. Oh shoot! It was none other than my lecturer, Mr. Lim. I thought someone prank call me. Recently I've got a few pranks messages and it's annoying. Lol. Then we chatted for a while. I was told to get my references tomorrow. Should I get him chocs maybe? To thank him for all my references. I gave him 7 references to filled up, and 5 of it must be hand written, I fell bad if I don't do something about it. And apparently, Ms. Kat didn't have the time to do my references, so I'll just give her till after CNY.

Owh, so you think I have no date on Valentines yea? Well, I've just got one from Susi, my hun. She's back owh yes she is! We're going on a date soon. Lalala. So what it's a she? You guys must be thinking I'm crazy, no? Well just for your info, I go both ways. I therefore have more choices than those who are stupid straight. Okay, don't get offended. Siapa makan cili dia terasa.

Come come, I'm currently in love with this song, it just suits my mood.
Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can’t explain myself at all
And all the wants
And all the needs
All I don’t want to need at all
The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight
It ends tonight

A falling star
Least I fall alone
I can’t explain what you can’t explain
You're finding things that you didn’t know
I look at you with such disdain
The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight
It ends tonight

Now I’m on my own side
It’s better than being on your side
It’s my fault when you're blind
It’s better that I see it through your eyes
All these thoughts locked inside
Now you’re the first to know

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight
It ends when darkness turns to light
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight
It ends tonight
Tonight Insight
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight.

I guess there should be no mistake. My favs song afta all.

I'm trying to jammed up blogger

You Don't Hold a Grudge

You're willing to give almost anyone a second chance, even if they've really wronged you.
Incredibly forgiving and compassionate, you understand that people sometimes change for the better.
Do You Hold a Grudge?

Do you believe this? I thought I do...Well not all test is accurate. Haha!

You Are 52% Spoiled

You're a little spoiled, but you're not spoiled rotten.
You love to be showered with gifts and affection, but you're good at keeping your demands to a minimum!
Are You Spoiled?

Oh well, fair enough. At least I'm 50% INDEPENDENT!

You Should Get a MFA (Masters of Fine Arts)

You're a blooming artistic talent, even if you aren't quite convinced.
You'd make an incredible artist, photographer, or film maker.
What Advanced Degree Should You Get?

Whoa, I like this. Sound so me...I should take up photography!

You Are 76% Indie

You're a very indie person, and admit it, you look down a little on people who strive to be normal.
You'll indulge in a little mainstream pop culture every now and then. But for you, anything not indie is a guilty pleasure!
How Indie Are You?

76%, not bad!

I think I've had too much of this already. Lol. I'm home all alone, and it's freakin' hot out there. I'm even sweating at home. I've no mood to go out in the noon anymore. I'd rather have at night, be the night owl.

I watched Otogizoushi few weeks ago. And I've just finally be able to get hold of all its OSTs. Gosh, they're so hard to find, either online or in shops. I had to order in from AnimeTech because Kinokuniya couldn't get it for me. Hell yeah, their music rocks. I'm so much in love with Zen and Hoshi ni Negai wo, basically the main songs, OP and ED.

I'm so into some phrases in Hoshi ni Negai wo song. There's some from Zen too but I can't find the lyrics online. And I don't know romanji either. *blush*

Mado no soto wa yotei tojikometa ame
"Kyou wa gomen, to ka omou nara mukae ni kite"
Iitai kedo dame da...

Hoshi ni negatta sono yume wa
Hitotsu hitotsuzutsu kanau nara
Anata ni mottomo chikazukitai

I'll be having a date with PuiYee on Tuesday. I can't wait for it. It's been ages since we last went out together! I missed Li Yen too. She's been quite busy lately, so I say work is horrible!

X TV

I have to share this. I'm currently following X TV, as you can see the title itself tells everything. =p I've got this anime from a friend of mine, refuse to acknowledge himself. I've actually start watching the movie first, X Movie 1999. But I only watched it in 2001. It's a really interesting movie, requires thinking and patience to watch. Some might find it boring, but to me it's awesome. After all it's from Clamp! Clamp is not an individual mangaka, but they consists of 4 members. To check out more, head here.

Summary taken from ANN:
It's the year of destiny and 15 year old Kamui Shiro, a powerful psychic, has returned to Toyko after a 6 year absence. He returns to protect his childhood friends, Fuuma, and Fuuma's younger sister Kotori. But destiny and fate are haunting Kamui and pulling in himself and his loved ones. It is his destiny to decide the fate of the world and mankind, no matter if he wants the role or not.

My own addition:
However, sadly, he was unable to protect them, but ended up fighting with Fuuma and got Kotori into Fuuma's sacrifice. I'm a sucker in bad ending, as you all know. But I just could not resists this. I love the story line, though sometimes it seems be to dragging.

PS: I have yet to finish watching it, but I somehow can predict the ending. =)

I've just downloaded it's full collection of OSTs;
Kamui's Singles
Fuuma's Singles
Opening Singles
Ending Singles
OST I
OST II
Character Album
Movie OST 1999

It's OSTs are awesome. I love the soundtrack. Guess some of you don't know. X Japan sung the song for the Movie's ending, Forever Love. I'm really so much in love with this song. Ohh and especially in their last concert, Yoshiki actually cried. It's so sad. Ok, I admit I was a bit emo when watching the concert. Oh yeah, speaking of this, I've just remembered. They also sung this in Hide's funeral. Frankly, I didn't find it sad during Hide's funeral. They sounded like laughing. Sorry Hide. I'm a big fan of yours but that's just what I felt during your funeral!

I don't quite like youtube for some reason.
1) It's slow in loading
2) Sometimes it don't even load at all
3) And when it loads, just for few second and the replay button appear! Slack.

So DailyMotion is so much better. At least I never experienced anything mentioned above. Oh but one good thing about youtube is....it has more videos!

Okay, so have I missed out anything to say? Hmm I don't think so...

Done but bored...

I see Jo's so active in posting all these tests. So I thought I might wanna try this out.

Your Driving Is is: 95% Male, 5% Female

According to studies, you drive like a typical male.
You're reckless, aggressive, and see driving as a game.
And while you like to live on the edge a little, you still know how to drive safely.
Do You Drive Like a Guy or a Girl?

Hey I'm not that terrible...am I? =p

You Belong in Winter

Quiet, calm, and totally at peace...
You're happy to be at home, wrapped in a blanket, completely snowed in
Whether you're lighting a fire or having a snowball fight, you always feel best in the winter.

Ohh, this is so true. I actually love winter! =)

And oh...Can you see that I'm using the new blogger? I didn't want to change, but am forced to. I can't log in and blog unless I upgrade mine to the new blogger. Ohh well, I don't know how good is this new one because I had problems posting comments on Ne-Chan's blog when she switch to beta blogger.

DONE!

Yesh, I'm finally done with the stupid IELTS. Let me brief you what happened.

I was enegertic in the morning. Was so ready to sit for it. For the first 15 minutes I was fine. Then suddenly my mind went blank and blur. That was during listening test. I tried to regain my composure, and by the time I got back on track...the particular section, Question 7-14 ended! Bloody hell. I lost all the answers for 7 questions! 7 BLOODY QUESTIONS! That constitute of 7 marks, which a really big factor in determining my band. Me and my bloody brain and mind...

OK now let's move on to the reading section. 40 questions to complete in an hour time. The first passage was two full pages long! Sheesh. And the questions were rather tricky. I had some difficulty in answering the first 10 questions. There goes my band. Downgrade to 7 immediately. Then the second passage, even tougher. BLOODY TRICKY. It took me almost 25 minutes! There goes, from band 7 to 6. The last passage was rather easy. I did the 20 questions(2 parts) back to back so I don't have to read it few times. Smart ain't I? =p

Now now the writing test. This is what had me worried for the whole week. You know when you had your brain freeze for half a year...how it feels. Yes, that's exactly what I'm experiencing. So I was frantically worried for this section. However, it turned out pretty easy. So much different from what I'd thought. And I kept writing and writing and keep on writing. It exceeded the limit of words...but I think they won't penalize for it right? Hey I can write much, that's soo good.

So that's about my test. Later Jeevs called me out for lunch. Since I'm still there and he's there, so we went to Subang Parade for lunch. After that we both left and I came home, got myself caught in traffic(had no idea what's causing the jam) for an hour. Bloody hell. Ohh when I finally reached home, here I am, blogging. I'm gonna nap for a while after this. I NEED sleep. Hahaha.

Guess what my score Band will be? 6 perhaps? But I need a BLOODY nice 7 to get into Edinburgh!

Okay here are some of the photos that I took a week back, same time I took with the Blush mannequins.


The hidden stairs...how many knows?


@ KTV @ around 12.15A.M.

Perhaps...I like leaning against the glass?

I have IELTS exam tomorrow!

Although exam is tomorrow, but I felt the need to post something - anything.

I just read Wed's newspaper. Saw the new XXX column. Guess guess...Burn's the advisor. I would want to write in prank letter stating "I only want Parthiban to answer" Hahaha. Burn's is getting famous...while me...this is what I've been doing. A bunch of personality/judgment tests.

Your Lucky Underwear is Blue

You are caring and extroverted. You've made relationships your number one focus, and your lucky blue underwear can bring some balance to them.
You thrive in one-on-one situations. You are a good listener and a natural born therapist.

Sometimes you let the concerns of others become too important in your life, leading to stress and worry.
If you want more balance, put on your blue underpants. They'll help you take care of yourself first.
What Color Is Your Lucky Underwear?


You Are 77% Open

You're a pretty open person - and you don't mind sharing the good, bad, and sometimes ugly.
And while sometimes you do catch yourself blabbing on, you usually exhibit restraint.
You're openness is quite refreshing, and it encourages other people to be open with you!
How Open Are You?
Ohhh....I often doubt this...What'd you say?

You Are 24% Lady

You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside.
And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking.
Are You A Lady?
Don't ask....

Your Stress Level is: 71%

You are prone to stress, and you're probably even pretty stressed right now.
Life's problems seem to pile up on you, and this often makes you feel depressed and burned out.
Learn to take time to relax and enjoy life, even if things are stressful. It's the only wa you'll get through the bad times.
How Stressed Are You?
Oh wow....71%! I need a life...Dang.

I got all these tests from Gina's blog. I was trying to post comment but blogger hates me? Because the page failed to load. And I'm also trying to find Ne-chan's blog...but I forgot the link to because I've reformatted my PC...all gone. Ne-chan, if you so-happen to see this, leave me your blog's URL!

A Lesson to learn from.

Chapter 1
Once upon a time, there's this small little girl who lives with her parents. She's the first child, and they were poor. So her dad had to work outstation, leaving his wife and daughter behind-to support the family. Despite the family's situation, this child had live happily with her mum and mum's friends.

Despite the family's situation, this child had been brought up good, obedient, honest, and sincere. After 3 years, she's got a little brother. She was ecstatic as she had live her 3 years playing all by herself....

Everything went well until a day, something terrible had happened....

And since that day, she's been a bad girl, rebellious, but never gone over the border such as smoking or drinking. She has never been honest to herself anymore. Often she hurts herself. Sometimes she wanted so much to say "No", but the word no could not come out of her mouth. Often she wanted to say "I'm sorry", but she can't. It's psychology. She's been traumatized that she can't say whatever she wants.

And when her second little brother was borned, everything's back to normal. So they thought. But she knew...it can never go back to the way it is before. She now have a bad perspective towards guy....

So when she started going to school, she made a lot of friends, mostly guys. But they were never true friends. She can't accept and trust people easily. She had a good friend, O. Since then, they grew up together. They played together, always hanging out together. Until O graduated from primary school, they were separated. So this girl is all alone again...

So this girl go on with her life. She make a lot of new friends, but she was thinking, are they even true friends? What is friend? She can't define. And finally the time has come...She finally found someone who liked her...What you think? That she will like that guy? It turned out she found out that she hates guy even more...

...to be continued

Gi's bored, scared, stressed-up, and hopeless.

Sunday, Feb 4.
I stayed home. Sunday, such dull day. I hate Sundays. I did my laundry in the morning, then packed my room, sort out all files and papers. Gosh..I found a dump of papers in the box that I kept all my assignments and paperwork. Then I arranged all my CD collections. Backstreet Boys. How nolstagia. It reminds me back to those were the days. I remember BSB have their As Long As You Love Me song no. 2 in the chart for 14 weeks. I was a really big fan of BSB, and also now.

Basically, throughout the day I was only lazing home. Crawford called. How rare! =P It has been quite a while since I last heard from him. Everyone's busy working. No time for me. Burn, lucky you're the exception! Hahaha.

At night, as I was trying to blog here, Chris called me out. So we went to Gasoline, somewhere in Pandan Indah I assume. Hey, sorry for my no sense of direction! It's nay my fault. It has the concept as Channel 6 which we went few days back before coming here. However, Gasoline was pretty much nicer because their interior rocks. All graphic novel drawing on chairs and tables. Yehh. Guess what I did? I was sitting down seeing Chris and Alvin playing Chinese Chess. Dammit I was bored. So I looked across where there's a girl with two guys. I stared. And a fellow from there stared back, together with the girl. So I never move my sight, kept staring. So did they. Then Chris came and joined me, so both of us were looking at both of them. Chris mimick the girl, while I just stay a statue. I was challenged to write my name and phone number to give it to the opposite table; the guys and girl. So I did. I wrote my name, number, and a short message asking the fellow to call me. We sat for a while, no respond from them, hence we went off. Just right I entered the car, the fellow missed call me. I HATE MISSED CALL! So I called back once with a short chat. Chris seems to be enjoying it, while Alvin did not, I think.

We sent Alvin home, and went for second round with the fellow. So we get to know each other, the fellow is underage! Hullo?! Lolx. So that's for the night. We went home at around close to 3a.m.

Monday, Feb 5.
Woke up at 10a.m. blur. Came online short while to check my mails. Got a few replies from the universities. Then wanted to prepare for classes, bro (Cheng Yen) called. So we chatted for almost half an hour. Noticed I was running out of time I quickly bath, grab my keys and off I go. Reached Carrefour at 12.45p.m for lunch appointment with Chin Heng. Yess, an appointment. Lolx. So I said, working people are always busy. At Ayamas we had our lunch. We ate and chat, chat and ate. Then I realized again, I'm running out of time. I drop him off at the stairs, and stormed off. Couldn't find any parking, I parked at the private car park. Cost me a bomb. I was late for 15 minutes, and was blur the whole day. I didn't even concentrate in class. I was merely sitting down waiting for time to pass by. Slack.

Came back, online, chatting with Burn. I was complaining about my tiredness, and how scared I am when I found out my brain didn't want to start functioning. 6 months home is indeed a long time, hence is no wonder what I experienced. So I tried to sleep early, but later I puked. So turned I wasn't feeling good because I did not have a full lunch. Hehehe.

Tuesday, Feb 6.
I managed to find a parking right outside IDP. Lucky, I actually passed the car however, I didn't want to give up on that spot so I stop at the side, and quickly reversed as the car went off. I guess it was pretty aggressive all the students were looking and saying 'WAHHhh'. Uh-huh. *Shy shy*

Met Jo for a short drink. She was tired of the research I think. Hahaha. It's no wonder because her topic is so tough. I also don't know how to do. Hehehe. Then met Jasween also in McD so we joined them. We left pretty soon because Jasween had her stuff to do, Jo is free, and I too have class.

In class today, I've noticed, British have a VERY strong accent. I forced myself to follow their pace. It wasn't easy. However, I managed to pull through it. And also we did some speaking. That, I think I could manage it. As for writing, I go bonkers. Have to start practicing already.

Ohh yeah, Gi is finally on her way to appreciate English music....back! Yes, I'm now starting to listening to English music. How long has it been? 6 years already I have not touched English songs. I have quite a collection of albums from Burn. And as for now my favourite is Breaking Benjamin and Josh Groban! Ohh yesss, I love Josh Groban. Have I mention this earlier? I don't remember. Hehe. My favourite of his as for now is When You Say You Love Me and Per Te. Awww, he's soooo good! I couldn't resist. I want more of him-songs. Ahahaha.

Anime.
I've finished downloaded a few episodes of various anime, such as The Third, Ghost Hunt, Shounen Onmyouji, NANA, Naruto, Gintama. Not to forget also J-drama, Karei-nara Ichizoku, and also K-drama, Goong S(this is for my mum, not myself). But...I haven't have the time to watch them.

My week out

There's many times I wanted to update, but I was too lazy to do it.

Last week, I have been around in college almost the whole week, every alternate days. First I went to register for IELTS at IDP Subang. Bloody hell, the lady there was rude I tell you. If it weren't for the test dates available there, I WILL NEVER step into that place. After that, I went with Jeev to Pyramid for shopping, and window shopping for me. I saw my cousin there, and she asked, whether Jeev's my boyfriend. What is wrong with people? And it's not only once. I'm shocked when it happen for the first time. I remember hanging out with Burn in Sg. Wang, and another of my cousin saw us. He actually called up my dad asking if Burn's my boyfriend. Huh? Second time was with Jeev. They then spread stupid rumours that Ginette only likes Indians. Is that discrimination? I don't know.

On Wed, again, to Subang to get lecturers write my references. I am planning to apply to at least 7 universities, and Mr. Lim got a shocked because most of it have to be hand written. Imagine that he have to write the same thing on 7 pieces of papers. Hahaha. Sorry Sir, but I would really appreciate it, and same goes to Ms. Kat. Later, went out with Pui Yee and Jeev. Jeev again? Lolx. YeaH. Again, to Pyramid. I think the workers there could've recognize us already, being a loyal walk in customer there. =p We went for Korean food, Nol Bool. This worker trying to get me order their most expensive dish, uhm..I don't remember what's it called. He kept saying its nice order it its nice order. I was hesitant but then I did it at last. First time I'm seing a sizzling dish for rice! Coolios. I tried a full spoon, Nice! It's it's big! So no regrets there. But it's abit pricey though, RM20. There goes my pocket.

We jalan-jalan around, see things, but I never bought any. Took some pics with dear PuiYee too. I then realized, gosh, it's my first time taking picture with her. But soo sweet. PuiYee call me out when you're available. Hehehe. Later on Klaus came, but sadly PuiYee and Jeev have to leave already. So I stayed back with him. And a friend of his came as well. We went bowling, went to 1901, hanging around, lingering around in Pyramid. Six o'clock, I went home. Took NPE to avoid jam, luckily traffic is still smooth.

Thursday, went out with Burn for Blood & Chocolate. I first though it was a movie like Narnia, but it wasn't anything like it. Lolx. The movie was okay, the wolf girl is hoot. Hahaha. We had an hour to kill before the movie. So we walked around in Times Square snapping photos. All uploaded in Friendster. Kakaka. I did some silly pose, and showed my love for girls. Muahaha. Lesbians? Oohhh YeaH. After the movie, we still linger around to take pictures. It was fun. I love the shopping malls when it's closed and we did all crazy stuffs. I climbed on the chair trying to do some suicide attempt. Then I even went to StarBucks to steal their tables. I'm also crazy enough to stand in the middle of the road and took a picture, and when I saw cars coming quickily I moved aside, while those cleaners shouting there. Muahahaha. I even saw a red big Honda motor. I wanted to climb on it to pose like as if I'm riding it, but I was too chicken to do it. And the two jockeys were looking at us.





I was talking to Shawn online. We were chatting about some universities in UK. He asked why do I not want to go Manchester. So I told. Everyone's there. I wanted to go someplace where I know nobody there. So I chose Scotland. And we even argued about the ranking of universities in Manchester and Scotland. Hey, who cares? I don't. I know I want Scotland, that's all. Later on, I was chatting with Jo. I told her I wanted to start listening English music again. I've been on Jap metal too much. And there she thought I never listen to metal. Hahaha. Interestingly, we pretty much have the same music appreciation. And right now, I'm very much in love with Josh Groban and Michael Buble. I've downloaded a few albums of Grobans. I liked it real much, and planning to purchase the original CD. Support Original! Hahaha.

Heeey, I haven't forget about anime okay. I've finish watching Bleach 113. OMGosh! It's getting into the main story...again. A Vizard came to get Ichigo into their group. Somehow I think Hirato is a good guy. I remember when Hiyori wanted to kill Inoue and Chad, Hirato quickly grab her away and told her not to kill people. Ohhh, Hirato and Hiyori are Vizard too. Hehehe. I also finish La Corda D'oro 8. Nice~~ Hino has finally decided on what she will be playing next. And it seems like she's a step closer to Len(Tsukimori) now. I think Len is finally slowly accepting people into his life. Ohh, I also finished OtogiZoushi. OMGosh! I love it sooo much. Consists of 26 episodes, 13 episodes in Heian era, and another 13 episode in Tokyo era. Both have same sad ending, except for in Tokyo era, Hikaru's bro, Raikou did not die like in Heian era. Everything about the anime is superb. Actions, storyline, musics, caharcters, etc. One of the best anime for me. Otogi Zoushi doesn't seem so popular to others because most of my friends have never heard of it before. Oh well...what to do. Kekkashi finally released 3 episodes last week. Nice indeed. Now they have a another girl who can see ayakashi. Hoping to watch more of this. And Shounen Omyouji has released episode 10. Akiko injury seems to be a cursed injury and Masahiro blamed himself for not realizing it earlier. And Akiko was almost possessed by Ayakashi because she knew she have to go to the palace soon, and she can't keep her promise with Masahiro to see fireflies the next year. Saiunkoku Monogatari episode 28 is out. I don't know if Shuurei likes Seiran or Ryuuki. However, I would like to see her end up with Seiran...cuz I like Seiran! Lolx. Ghost Hunt episode 14 is out. In the previous episode Mai was possessed by a small kid, and ske kept clingly to Lin. How about this time? What will happen to her. Just when she saw the ghost, it end! How more frustrating can it be?! And Death Note....I did downloaded till episode 16, but have yet to watch it. Maybe because I know the ending already so I didn't have the motivation to watch it. Hahaha. I guess that's about it...I'm outta here now!
