Woot! Yesss everyone I’m finally back with a refreshing and new blogging platform! I must say that Wordpress 1.5 is damn freaking solid. Did some reading up abt it for e past few days, and I decided to dive in and migrate to it after some contemplating, but it was indeed worth it. The features and control scheme is awesome, not to forget I have more control and security over my blog now. Another reason would also be it will be easier for me to archive and sort out my entries since it’s based on PHP database, and since I have my own domain, all the more things are made easy for me. Surprisingly it’s quite easy to use and manage too, and the best thing about it? I was able to import and keep my posts and comments from blogger, cool stuff. I did met with some hiccups like deciding what combination of colors and skin theme to use for my new layout though, but it’s no biggie that cannot be resolved. (^ ^)V

And I finally settled on using this theme based on the japanese drama Orange Days which I had just finished last month. It’s a real touching drama which centers around 5 young adults who are in the midst of graduating from college and stepping into the work society faced with tougher difficulties and new challenges in life. I could totally relate to the scenarios inside the show, perhaps because it’s just like what I’m facing currently right now? (^ ^)”’ My sis is also currently watching this jdrama too, and I think she really likes it, since the female lead inside the jdrama is playing as a character who used to be a promising musician but lost her hearing in the midst of her promising future, and how she finally managed to overcome her difficulties in life. Very touching stuffs, it’s one of those few jdramas which I would rank as my Top 5s, together along with my other fav titles like Beach Boys, Beautiful Life, Great Teacher Onizuka and H2 ~Kimi to ita Hibi~.

Anyway, I’m pretty sleepy right now and have some other stuffs to do, so I shall end my entry here. Till then, take care everyone and do have a nice weekend ahead! Signing out…and do leave me some doodles please??

Ben just turned twenty-one last Sat, and we had a really great time together while celebrating his 21st birthday bash held at the NUSS Guild House at Suntec City. The buffet dinner was great, along with very nice hospitality from his parents, who offered us red or white wine but we kindly rejected them, since most of us didn’t wanna get drunk or tipsy. It was a really enjoyable evening, thanks for everything, and hope you liked our presents. (^ ^);

And on the other hand, I was actually quite disappointed with someone else, close to my heart. Shan’t go into details about it, but let’s just say if she can’t even show a sense of responsibility to her friends, especially someone like me, then I guess I had misjudged her all along this while. So why should I even give a heck about her? Sorry, but my kindness ain’t for ya to be taken for granted, try me and you will receive it, the kind of treatment you wouldn’t want from me. If you can’t even humbly accept cynicism from someone like me, then I guess my words ain’t worth that much, for someone like you.

I’m really starting to get tired of all these. Placing my trust in someone, and in the end getting myself taken for granted. And it’s not the first time I had encountered this from her, all with her lies or whatsnot. This is seriously dealing some damage to me, especially for someone who was trying to recover from a failed relationship with someone of the opposite sex. I’m trying to be neutral here, since I know not all girls are like this. But it’s just like I’m now currently trying so hard to recover from my post-traumatic experience with a girl, and now something like this happens. I always question myself, and find my faith wavering slowly. So how do you expect me to pick things up from here? At this rate, I might never even wanna trust the opposite sex again, period.

I really need a break. Need some time-off to find the statement of beliefs and purpose, the strength to hold my faith again. Till then, later everyone.

Good day ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please kindly repeat after me. “Everyone loves Katamari Damacy…oh everyone loves Katamari Damacy. Oh do you know how much we love you…that’s why it’s called Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy!!!”

Ok, that was a rather lame effort from me to compose something to promote Katamari Damacy. But nobody else will ever understand my love and fanaticism for it. Don’t believe me? I won’t even hesitate trying to cosplay as one if I know how to make the costume for it (or have the costume for it). And not to forget it was one of those games I experienced in a long time to have that kind of special and unique experience, just like playing tetris or space harrier for the first time when I was a young kid. Nobody will ever understand tat kind of feeling unless he or she experiences it for him or herself. The only kind of feeling that brings warmth and ease to the heart, that nostalgia feeling of been young, innocent and carefree that we were once a long time ago.

Read on after the jump for the pictures and the preorder goodies that came with my game purchase. : ))

Oxygen is like Love. Without it, we might just lose that motivation, determination and confidence to accomplish stuffs or goals in our daily lives. Possibly the only awe-inspiring, astounding kind of spiritual force unexplained by science that grants you the strength to do things you would had deem impossible under normal circumstances, but possible before your very own eyes, with miraculous results. Though it seems so implausible and unimaginable, but tell me wouldn’t you agree with me, especially if you are one of those who have experienced before the power of love?

Love is something I cannot do without; in fact it is the very air that I breathe for without it my world collapses and everything ceases to function as it should. Love adds colors and variety to my life and makes everything all right for me; Love is undeniably addictive and I am a junkie to it.

For someone like me, who used to be so ardently devoted to my passion for gaming, has since shed this obsession aside. Ok I still play games, but just that my main piorities are replaced by my studies and probably music for now. Did I just say music? Please do not be mistaken that I was just referring to listening music, but actually talking about performing music. All along I have been a rookie with playing the acoustic guitar, but recently I seem to be expressing a greater interest in playing the piano as well as the electric guitar. Will definitely try to work out something after my exams. And since I already have a piano at home (my sis plays it most of the time), all the more easier for me to pick things up.

On to some random stuffs. Had a discussion with the usual peeps on MSN earlier on, we were contemplating on what stuffs to buy for Timothy’s birthday and also since he’s going back to Perth in Oct, all the more we should buy something to leave as a memorial for our friendship. So we were chatting here and there, sharing ideas and suggestions, and more or less has decided on what to get for him liao. But just in case he happens to read my blog, I shall keep everything under the hood in suspense, no clues on what we’re gonna get hehe. ^ ^;

On a side note, for those who haven’t been checking out local cinemas recently, Sekai No Chusin De, Ai Wo Sakebu ( 在世界中心呼唤爱 ) is showing now, applicable to Cathay theatres only. It’s based on the great selling Japanese novel of the same name and I actually already caught this show since last year. Before that I had already watched the jdrama series (1st picture for reference), and it was more heart-wrenching that the movie version (2nd picture for reference), reason been the jdrama series has actually more details closer to the original novel, and with a longer running time of 11 episodes + 1 special altogether it’s also able to fill in more details from the original novel. So while watching the movie version, though it does feel sad and touching, since I already knew abt the great story-plot and touching dialogues, the show was just mediocre to me. But I have to give credits that the movie has a very good soundtrack to go with as well as a great cast to complement the show, so if you haven’t watched it yet, please do yourself a favour and go catch it in the theatres now, and be sure to bring along a pack of tissue, you will definitely need it even if ya a guy. So that pretty much sums up my mini-review for the movie, a very note-worthy romance flick. If I haven’t caught the related jdrama series yet, this flick might have ranked on-top of my most favourite japanese movies of all time for a good period of time I believe. (Remember I’m a romance flick junkie?)

Ok time to sleep. Oyasumi Nasai. (I so wanna watch Ima, Ai Ni Yukimasu…)
