Hi ppl....

well... know this post came a bit (waaaaaayyyy toooooooo) late... ah well, it's my final sem, what do u expect, i've been quite busy all these while, assignmenst, exams, thesis... blah blah blah... but still i guess it doesnt hurt to just nick a few hours off my sleep to update y'all here, rite? ok, here goes...

Let's start with... "well, how quick time flies..." yeah, some of u are gonna roll ur eyes and say, "not another nostalgic ramblings, is it?". well sorry to disappoint you, yes it is. In the blink of an eye, all of a sudden i'm here one year fast forward from the days of my first breakup... wooohh.... i know someone would ask me, "still cannot let go kah?"... no lar... let go very long time oredi...just simply reflecting how times and situation has changed, and the event one year ago was a marked milestone in my life... one of the point where i found myself grown up, learnt something, walked past and climbed to another, higher level of life...

How silly and naive i was at that time... hahaha... looking back, i'm now smiling... no, laughing at myself even. there is no more regret, anger or pain (all those subsided within a week or so after that day)... and it was quite a valuable experience... i learnt something of myself and that boosted my confidence in facing life's challenge. i have changed my outlook towards certain things. and most of all, i have increased understanding of my religion. though i am no longer as devoted as during the initial times, yet what i have learnt during then has really helped me alot, in many aspect and many ways...

ah, but then again, i'm not gonna talk about religion here, could i? it's ppl's choice to believe whatever they chose to, and i respect that. we cant judge a person based on the religion he/she professes. heck even a padre went molesting altar boys, some ulamas preaching war and violence and some monks went on to accumulate illegal wealth... what do u say about that?

anyway looking back on the past year, although it was quite bitter at the start, but hey, after the initial hickup, things begin to pick up and i had a wonderful year! i've started going out with a girl whom i know will make a good wife and mother... and we went thru some of the best times in my Uni days... well i'm quite lazy to repeat here, so it's up to y'all to browse back what i wrote in the past year...

Life has been very good... though i may have stumbled on certain obstacles, all were easily conquered... it's not how big the problem are, but how u choose to deal with it... i'm pretty much a happy guy now, with nothing much to worry, though some will say that my nonchalant attitude is gonna cost me dearly in the near future, but hey, thanks for ur advice but since i already knew what i'm doing with my life, i dont find the need to busy myself with YOUR life. Eat. Humble. Pie.

anyway, i'm looking forward to the future... there are many exciting things waiting for me to do yet there are also many things that is anchoring me firmly on the ground... how am i gonna deal with it? well as my usual manner, we'll deal one thing at a time when it comes. there's no need to hurry. even if i'm gonna die tonite, hey, life is eternal and it goes on.

Here it goes, Princess Mononoke. The anime with most features u'd want. there is love, hatred, action, adventure, blood and gore (literally) gods and demons... blablabla... anyway it turned out quite differently than what i had expected though... but it's an interesting story nonetheless.

Tells about a young boy's idealist views on the affairs between humans and spirits (gods and demons) and his efforts to keep peace between the two sides. this movie is based heavily on Japanese superstition that there are spirits in each and every object or place. sounds like Spirited Away?

However it might seem so nice in the movie, the naivety of the boy and the corruption of human towards the environment that is causing catastrophe everywhere, but we all know it's a different situation here in the real world. however enjoy it as it may be. i loves it's ending credit theme.

Next up, is Howl's Moving Castle. i've no idea about this movie nor heard of it before like the Princess or Spirited, but it's a recommendation fom my childhood friend Wai Hon. we'll see about that. plus there's Steamboy which i've watched last year but yet to write anything about it. that will be coming too.

till then!

Spirited Away. I've just finished watching this animation. lasts 2 hours and 4 minutes. what should i say...

RECOMMENDED TO ALL!!!!!

Frankly, yes, it is a beautiful anime with oh-so-beautiful story! basically it tells the story of Chihiro who were lost in the Spirit's world together with her parents and the challenges (or adventures?) she went through to save her parents and return to the human world.

it's suitable for whole family viewing. nice musical score and pretty good drawings... i liked it's musics the best... seriously.

nonetheles, dont just take my word for it. go get it and watch it. i dont know about u, but it made my time. and saved me from spending rm40 for the gold class ticket for the movie Fearless, midnite show.

next up, i'm trying to get Princess Mononoke.

Well... if u're looking forward to see my CNY pics, sorry, there ain't gonna be any. MUAHAHAHAAHAA!!!!

Anyway here's an AngPau for u all. so stop saying "angpau na lai" every friggin' time we meet, ok? i'm not eligible to give any angpau yet, so that should give u some ideas!

oh... by the way, where's UR ANGPAU FOR ME?

Anyway, Happy CNY!
