Touched... by the miracle of Sakura

It’s really been awhile since the last time I’m touched by a movie… and now I finally get back the feeling… since the first day I watch the series, I’d been amazed and touched by it… what I’m talking about here is the Anime series… One Piece.

Many people are enjoying the comedy of this anime, but I rather enjoy watching the touching story behind every member… and the journey of them sailing through all those hardship, but still standing together as one.

I introduced the Anime before, this time around the latest 9th Movie had been released… is a story edited from how Luffy met Chopper on the Winter Island. The whole 2 hours of movie will bring you travel back to the past of Chopper… and learn about how Chopper end up becoming one of the member onboard with Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Robin and Franky… as touching as always… the sad story behind Chopper… the reason he decided to sail across the deep blue sea… it is really a nice movie…

Right from the beginning of the movie, how Luffy and Sanji pass through the hardness of getting Nami to the nearest doctor; how Sanji protected Luffy and Nami from the avalanche; how Luffy giving out all he got just to save Sanji and bringing him and Nami, climbing the high mountain covered by snow just to get them treated by a doctor; how Chopper was saved and trated by the Noob Doctor; how the Noob Doctor chase chapper away and yet Chopper still return to take care of him; how the Noob Doctor wanted to save the country; how the Noob Doctor drink the medicine from Chopper which is actually a poison just to not letting Chopper down… there’re too many of touching moments to list out… and yet this 2 hours movie makes all the miracle happened.

Great movie from One Piece… hope that you guys out there can watch it too… even though you might not be a One Piece fans, but still… I believe you’ll be touched by it…

My heart draws a dream

Well, I like this MV very much. Like the feeling of watching this every time, it’s a nice song and nice MV from L'Arc~en~Ciel, one of my favourite J-pop group. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to this songs an watching this MV too.

At last

At last, my story is completed… check out the link beside under “My Stories” column and read the story if you are interested. Really sorry for taking such a long time to complete it… (for those who did wait for my story of course) I’m glad that finally I’m done with this; actually I already have a new idea for the next story… so slowly wait for it, ok? I’ll start writing the new story after some rest here… maybe some are wondering why I keep on writing stories here… a hobby? Well, not really a hobby of mine, as what I’d said before… I like this kind of things, things that use my imagination. Because I can’t become part of the production crew of a film or animation, so this is perhaps the last way I can use to continue my dream. Hope that my stories will touch you. Kindly leave any comment if you want. This story is kind of fantasy… the next one will be a bit more sci-fi… but still, the main part is the message I’m sending…

Well, who cares what kind of crap I’m crapping here… so, read it if you want. Thank you.

-.- lll

Few days ago I’m chatting with a friend of mine... is a she. Then talk about her being single now, and talk about I’m single too. Well, don’t worry, nothing between two of us. She’s not my cup of tea and I’m not her cup of coffee... anyway, she keep on promoting girls to me and so do I keep on promoting boys for her. And then here comes the deadly blow from her... she said that with my personality, I’ll be able to make a lot of “girl friends”… but a bit hard to get “girlfriend”… I asked her why, and she say she just think like that… that’s what she observed… well, whatever it is… this statement starts to bug me non-stop. As if she is cursing me… but I know just a friend talk, and I’m very welcome such “straight forward and direct” conversation, although it might hurt sometimes, but I prefer to know the truth from people… so, start to think about what she said… indeed… I must say that I really have a lot of “girl friends”… tons of them… but none of them are my “girlfriend”… starts to wonder that maybe what she said was right after all? OMG… maybe I should start to get ready to become a monk in near future… sob sob…

Anyway, single or “double” is not an issue to me anymore… everything just let it be… oh, one more thing she comment about me… she asked me “why I never see you look at girls one when you are free?” and my reply for her is “I only look around to find handsome guy & see how they dress till they look so handsome and try to copy them.” She said I’m abnormal… then I asked her “then you must keep on looking at handsome guys loh?” And guess what she reply me? “Oh, you are wrong! I look at both handsome guy and pretty girl…” Well, who’s the abnormal here… okay, to sum things up, I’m happy that I joined the Japanese Cultural Club and met all these stupid, crazy and yet interesting friends… tons of pretty girls (yes, all occupied) really enjoy my time in the club… and I hope others think the same too…

Windows XP SP3

Well, I don’t know why, but after I download this update and install on my laptop, all sort of problems start to pops up… first is regarding firefox and IE 7… is like out of 100 time I click the shortcut to launch the program, only once I’ll success. Then my Chinese Star and NJ Star are not working after I installed SP3. My laptop, a Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz machine… hangs at least 2 times per each time I on my laptop… this and that programs stop responding… OMG! Just what the F*** is it for Microsoft to come out such idiotic update for Window XP user? After tired about all this rubbish side effect, I quickly uninstalled the SP3… yes, everything back to normal again… thank GOD… I must be grateful to the Microsoft Company for creating an “uninstall” function together with this SP3, which SP2 doesn’t have… if I’m unable to uninstall the SP3, it means I have to reformat or repair the whole Windows from head to toe… which is a extremely tedious process as everyone know…

Anyway, now everything is back to normal, so I won’t care anything about the Stupid Pack 3 anymore. So guys and girls out there, think twice before you install it… maybe it is just my own software problem, but who knows such thing might happen to you? Nothing special about SP3 anyway, so better to just leave it aside…

私の物語 Ver 1.5

Hehe... nothing special, just change the layout of my blog... give some comment and vote about it in the poll which situated on your right... last time my blog resolution is 1280 in width (for wide screen), now i switch it to suitable for both wide screen and ordinary CRT size monitor... change the blog header picture, some colour scheme, but still maintaining the black background... hope that it is ok and nice looking... i bet i wont make any changes like this in awhile... it's awful lot of work and i can't find any nice template at all from the internet... so end up adjust and edit everything all by myself... tiring of course...

anyway, the story i'm writing is about to finish... just left some final touch... and i'd posted a new "picture blog", so check it out under "My stories" link section... later still got class, but now i'm rushing to complaete my story... hehe... so i'll just stop over here.

Take care guys and girls...

Starting Point of 08/09

School started after settle the registration… my life at Sabah starts to get back to the usual life style… well, whatever it is, I’m now back to here, at this place, in this time, so there’s nothing else I can do beside accept it and go along with it.

Searching for motorbike now, although I’m still not very good at it, but still I need a bike for practice. I hope that I can get one soon. I’ll start to get busy with all my club stuff, just hope I didn’t bring any trouble to others. This semester should be 20 credit hours, I wonder will it burden me or not… anyway, it's been awhile since the last time I'm pack with all sort of works to do, so I hope I'll be able enjoy the fullest from it...

Waiting for ferry which so-call to depart at 7.30am... so while waiting, those Gamblers start to itch their hands...

Yupe... another rest of course... then some adventurous people suggest to have a jungle tracking... so we depart with 5 people heading towards the starting point... after some staircase, comes the jungle track. And believe it or not, just after awhile... maybe less than 5 minutes? 2 out of 5 people gave up and return... well, the 3 left over "still-adventurous" people continue their long long journey into the deep jungle...

Victory...

well, there's another aunty following us actually, stress out and tired, sweating totally... luckily she made it back with no major troubles...

This is what you'll see at the end of our tracking journey...

Dinner at night... seafood dinner, and after that some rest and gambling continue in our room...

Back at Sabah

Wonder should I use the word “finally” I’m back to Sabah? Whatever it is, I’d finally made it back here and everything will start all over again. I’ll renovate my blog when I have time, and I’ll finish up the story I’m writing and post it as soon as possible. Watch out for my Tioman Trip blog too. Back to Sabah means finally I can use some internet here and MSN non-stop.

How’s my holiday? Well, I don’t know how I should describe it. Wonder is it a good one or not, wonder… and still wondering… I wonder when only I will stop wondering… overall it was OK, just like any other holiday, but feeling that the holiday is slightly too short. Whatever it is, glad that I’d done a lot of things during this holiday, able to meet old friends from primary school to secondary school, able to meet some university’s friend at KL, it’s a nice feeling. But at the same time, a bit disappointed that I didn’t manage to meet some people, do something or complete something which I’d expected to do so during the holiday.

Starting of a new semester, what do I hope for this semester? Well, nothing actually. Just hope everything goes right, no problem with my new roommate, no problem with my laptop etc. just hope can get pass this semester without any major problem in the Japanese Cultural Club, hope that I’ll bring less trouble to people around me, hope that all the problems I’m facing can finally be settle.

All in all… let the word “holiday” being seal for the next 4 months… waiting for the coming holiday to arrive…

End of June

Back from my Tioman Island trip… this is the first blog from me after the trip, but unfortunately this blog has nothing to do with the trip. The blog regarding the trip will be post next time.

Back to the topic, my holiday officially ended after the trip. What awaits me is a dinner with friends and family, and then it’s time for me to fly back to Sabah to continue my third year study of my mechanical engineering course. Thinking back those days during this holiday, I wonder what had I done and what had I achieved so far…

Starting the holiday with an exhausting body, hoping to gain some rest in mind and soul… well, I did able to let my body and mind rest enough. I’d been planning to finish my story writing, it’s almost done, but not yet completed. All the Gundam models that I wish to own had already become part of my collection. Planned to learn how to ride a motorbike this holiday and I somehow manage to know the basic of it, still I need a lot more practice when I’m back at Sabah before I’m able to get myself a license. I’d been hoping that I’ll be able to figure out all the problems and troubles I’d been facing so far, but sadly I didn’t manage to solve any of them… I wonder did I fail to do so, or did I just avoid and neglect them just like that… a lot of things are running in my mind during the long journey home from my trip. I wonder will everything be alright… I’d feel like I’m a total stranger to myself recently… not like those days where I can really define who I am and what I’m up to. But now, I’m totally lost and feeling miserable.

All that I can do is just hope and pray… for the day where things will become better. But I know it from the bottom of my heart that things will never turn good unless I work for it. Sometime things are easy to say but hard to work out. Wonder what I’m up to… wonder what I’m trying to say here… wonder what is going on with me… wonder why I’m acting as someone else… wonder why I’m hurting people around me… wonder why I’m keep on wondering and wondering as things still keep as it is…

Frustrated as I am, after a one and a half month holiday, these are the things I achieved and things that I’d failed to reach. In the end, I’m starting my new semester of study with the same-old-useless-hopeless own self…
