  • Have you ever been to Penang?

    On my way crossing the bridge to Penang Island

    It was a sunny day, indeed

    The super small TV

    I'm sure this one is the most famous one!

    Packed with stalls and people and a variety of foods!

    all genders of all ages of all races would just come here to eat their dinner

    Sometimes they get creative in coming out new flavour foods instead of the delicacies only

    I thought of my friend when I saw this, he has this nickname called "Li Yu" LOL And look at the price, the big chee cheong fun was not so expensive also!!

    Not far away stood Gurney Plaza, one of the popular shopping malls the locals like to kill their time there.

    Many people have been to Penang, but there are also some who have never been there before, and for sure those who have been there before will be very likely to return to this food paradise again, to savour the good food, and to breathe in the smell of its historical air.

    I am lucky enough because I get to go to Penang at least once a year, for my mum was born there, and we would certainly pay a visit to grandma's house every year.

    I recall this was the second time I visited a friend in his hometown during CNY. We went over to Penang. Even though it is renowned as a tourist spot, but it still gave you a home-like feeling. The way people communicate, the way the buildings stood, the way the foods are prepared, looked like, tasted like.They were all so familiar and you just couldn't feel it somewhere else.

    It might taste delicious as a meal, but i find it gross looking at the outer structure>.<

    Bigis Junction Food Court, the cushioned chair was comfortable! And we finally found a place to sit down and eat

    The view of Bugis Junction Food Court

    I love the sign of "No smoking By Law", this can be seen almost everywhere, indicates the seriousness of Singaporeans.

      There was no special feelings stepping on the land of Singapore again.

     As a tourist, I felt no more burden and pressure on my young shoulders, I would only recall how strong and determined was I when I was there struggling to survive.

      I always realised how packed was Singapore, throngs of people squeezing in MRT, long que at the ladies restroom, and hardly an available table at the food court, especially during public holidays, the shoppers were mostly Singaporeans, the working ones were those from China and Malaysia.

      They also made great advertisements, it could be any products, any upcoming movies, any service, I could see posters of "Angels and Demons" even at the least people MRT station.

  • What is DMC

    DETROIT METAL CITY

    Sounds familiar?

    My friend and cousin were telling me about this anime and the movie made in 2008, and my friend was displaying Johanne Krauser II as her avatar on msn for some little while.

    What caught my attention was the blonde smooth hair and the pale white face!

    That day after watchin the Movie, I finally understood why this movie was strongly recommended.

    In real life, I might not like heavy metal band wearing such outfit, singing songs filled with vulgarities, songs that hurt my ears, and songs that screamed the hell of lungs out! But when it comes to movie, I find it totally AMUSING! The double personalities of the lead role is the one thing I like the most!

    The lead role was portrayed by the Japanese actor acting L, Kenichi Matsuyama, no doubt both roles possess the quirky and odd kind of personalities incomprehensible by normal beings and Ken san successfully sealed a never fadable image in the fans' hearts.

    From this

    Do they look alike?

    From left: DMC, Jack, the girl who wears the chick printed brief aka soichi's love interest, and the hentai manager.

     All the casts together with Jack in the middle! A guy who sings a song only with "FU*K" lyric, LOL

    Notice Krauser's silver boot? I like that the most from his outfit!

    One final look at the significance difference of soichi and krauser

    DMC has been listed into one of my fave!

  • Oblivious

     

    KalaFina-- Maybe it's not a very easily remembered name, but for sure they have beautiful voices. This image looks kinda "Malay" for me, it seems like they are trying to give mysterious feel, but I really don't sense any of the mysteriousness at all. Nevertheless, I love the freedom and imaginative kinda sensation when I listen to this song, like a game's theme. In fact, it is actually the theme from an animation called "Kara no Kyoukai". You can hear all the "ohhhhh" all the time, which sort of gives a fantasy feel.

    Kalafina: Oblivious

    本当は空を飛べると知っていたから
    羽ばたくときが怖くて風を忘れた
    oblivious
    何処へ行くの
    遠くに見えるあの蜃気楼

    いつか怯えながら
    二人の未来を映して

    よるべない心二つ寄り添う頃に
    本当の悲しみがほら翼広げて
    oblivious
    夜の中で
    真昼の影を夢見るように
    きっと墜ちて行こう
    光へ

    いつか 君と 二人
    夜を 朝を 昼を 星を 幻想を
    夏を 冬を 時を 風を
    水を 土を 空を
    we go further in the destiny...

    oblivious
    側にいてね
    静かな恋がほら始まるよ
    いつか震えながら
    二人の未来へ

    oblivious
    何処へ行くの
    遠くへ逃げてゆく水の中
    何て綺麗な声で
    二人の未来を
    歌って

    Short and simple yet elegant lyrics!

About Me

  • A normal and simple girl, ambitious, loves to imagine and dream big. Often intoxicated in the power of MUSIC, especially Jpop and soundtracks, cant get mp3 out of my ears! Some friends said I am a Japanese-Wannabe, well, I would neither deny nor admit it. Somehow I have developed certain passions towards Japan, fond of almost everything of it, the first rated goods, the language, the cuisines (sushi!) the seasons, the place, the people, the anime, the music, the movies, the cultures, the costumes, the products, yep, almost everything.
