Penguin Musume ♥ Heart ペンギン娘♥はぁと (2008)

she was an otaku. easily deceived n simple minded, everything around her were interpreted into anime/manga scenes. a lighthearted anime, simple n straightforward, absurdity was one of the main comedy focus.

Award: Blogger Trophy

wad awarded the trophy by -david-. i am more than grateful to receive this trophy of recognition, approval n support, thank you!

for those who drop by often would notice my disappearance on the Weekends. do bear with me for not replying or visiting during these days. i feel that it is best for me to take a break Away from the computer every now n then. having to face it during office hour, the most appropriate timing would be the weekends, thus sorry for the inconvenience.

Greed.

after repetitively making the wrong decision, Greed managed to have them blinded again. trapped in the mindset of not-sharing, practicality was never the consideration, the freed garage thus returned being crowded again. no advices of ours were accepted, not one sentence heard. watched in dismay, we were closed out like strangers, our extended hands were brushed away n rejected.

貪欲に制御よって。

kitty..

dodging from cars to cars, this timid kitty was busy searching n running off with food found left dropping on the floor. managed to tempt us to share 2 pork livers, it was soon cleaning itself behind me. the photograph? busted while licking its mouth clean.

Shigofumi シゴフミ (2009)

each with a talking staff, they were assigned to deliver the Shigofumis - letters from the dead, to the living that was left behind. the letters revealed their final feelings, it can contained no lie. she wasn't like the other postmen, she had a secret of her past. she lingered only to solve the mystery. this was quite an interesting anime. it has gotten so touching that i couldn't help shedding some tears for her.

Lee Coffee Shop 老李

haven't been trying any new Laksa Sarawak for quite a while now. here is one of the shop i have yet to include into my Dining collections. the sarawak laksa served here was spicy but lack of muddiness, which was equally essential for the cuisine.

Tag: Handwriting

was tagged by -sharon- to complete a simple tag, but with a slight twist. i had to do it using my own handwriting! there you see it, my handwriting isn't pretty, at all.

here are the tasks/questions:

1. your name/user name/pseudo?
   
2. right handed or left handed?
   
3. your favorite letters to write?
   
4. your least favorite letters to write?
   
5. write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

True or False.

having heard predictions out of the blue could often be exciting. forthcoming sickness? through palm reading? the excruciating moment would be keeping a straight face, listening while consciously readjusting my twitching eyebrows. without facts or reasons, it was almost too soon these statements were filtered off the radar. so, to believe or not to believe?

信頼源か？

yuki (ゆき、雪)..

an afternoon not so inviting for the rest of us; my punk, alone, was enjoying the humidity to its fullest. despite the sound of our vehicle n footsteps, he paid no attention to it. now tell me, who is the master n who is the pet?

Crystal Blaze クリスタル ブレイズ (2008)

a town where everyone with troubles ran to. illegal conduction of nuclear experiments turned girls into the "glass maidens". the detective agency came across one that ran away n that led to taking down the whole laboratory. the anime won't be interesting if not got the "glass maidens". definitely not a common mystery we got to see being solved everyday.

Dumplings.

the season has arrived unnoticed, different from the previous years in an agitating yet sweet way. a change for the better, reminded by -tekkaus-. with familiarity level gained, reservedness decreased in contrast. hanging on, a change for the better, she chanted.

信じの為に努めて！

Mission 2.

following the previous 1000 Pieces Puzzle attempt, the second round was as rewarding as the first. just when we thought more colors would lead to a much relaxing completion, we were proven dead wrong. we had a difficult time separating the all to similar colors. but of course, the mission came to a beautiful end of a perfect portrait. mission proudly accomplished.

完璧な任務だ！

Self-taming.

time changes everyone? while i considered it sensitive, -baboon- used to say it was possessive; somehow they represent the exact thing. the more defensive i am, the higher the sensitivity (or possessiveness). just as a lion didn't like its prey to be taken forcefully away from under its claws, i could often detect the slightest changes. or could it be paranoia?

kitty..

always around during lunch, this materialistic kitty obviously care about nothing but food. that look? food begging mode.

Conspiracy.

joining hands for a new project, the truth could be a little evil, yet a little exciting! 10 crews breathing the same air in a closed space during office hour; all movements watched, all conversations listened to, much still proceed in the dark. accumulative evidences shall serve as strong backup; patience implemented n put into action. awaited excitements revealing bit by bit!

結果を待っ。

Tag: Birthday

was tagged by -david- for the "birthday wish" tag. the rule was simple, i just need to make a list of my birthday wishes. those who know me well enough could probably list them out on my behalf, as the "items" had remained unchanged for quite a while now. the most convincing way would be me working hard to achieve them than to "wish" for them. what is your utmost wish list item?

1. happiness definitely comes first
   
2. a car
3. a house
4. traveling
   

Chocolate Underground (2008) チョコレート・アンダーグラウンド

a very short anime, though having 13 episodes, each episode was only a few minutes long. forbidden to have chocolate as any ingredient, the children decided to fight against the law by bootlegging chocolate, thus "underground" chocolate. the plot was uninteresting, making the anime quite a drag eventhough short.

Fear.

bad things happening, descended onto her love ones - her mum went frantic, her sis brainwashed, ignoring her pleas. she was alone, so alone in a house so familiar. it was dimmed out there, late evening lingered to erase all color off the sky. he was there, with a smile hung on his face. always there, standing right in front of her, holding her in an embrace. shivered in fright, she cried n she wailed, desperate for someone to understand, for someone to save her family. it was so vividly real she failed to shake it off.

怖いもの夢です。

Freezing.

holding back n being held back was equally tormenting, eating me up inside. desperate to let go of the unveiled truth but draining defenses built up instinctively. losing balance, relaxation was no more an option. suppressed emotions piled up undelivered, tension forming unseen barrier. unbreakable ice stood tall, visible yet unreachable. everything as a trigger; every thought bring tears, so much that i dislike myself. no, no, hardwork shall not go to waste! fragile is Not weak.

私わ我慢する！

kitty ..

mummy kitty's tummy grew larger n larger by weeks. lazing under our table during lunch, it was in no hurry to leave us. in fact, it fell asleep soon after. having the urge to rub that tummy so much!

Shinigami no Ballad しにがみのバラッド (2008)

a girl in white with a talking, winged black cat, she came to collect human souls, a "Death God". within the short series, each episode showed her encounter with a different couple - some lovers, some siblings. a very straightforward anime.

Escape.

wandering headless in the dark alley, she ran her hands against the wall on the left n right, desperate for an opening. looking across her shoulder from time to time, afraid to meet eye to eye with the thing that smirked at her worthless attempts. it had her, it almost had her if the bucket had not fall off the shelf n startled it. someone was lending her a hand, but who?

having the urge to scream out, she pressed her hand tight onto her mouth. keep running, keep running! she chanted in her head. heartbeat thumping in her ears, her breathing had gotten so loud she could no long hear her running footsteps.

私はあなたの心にいるか？

方炯镔: 坏人 (2008)

though i am not particularly into any artist, his voice has always stayed at the top of my preference. originally belonged to a 2-guys group called the Island (年少), well-known locally back then. years after disbanding the group, he is back, soloing in taiwan. the voice, still as charming as ever.

“痛，也可以很美。”

attaching below is one of the promo videos:

What is Your Japanese Name?

similar test (Blog Things, Rum & Monkey), which obviously gives different answers one after another. from the captured screen above, i was disturbed with the "unofficial-ness" of it. "ur"? "lol"? now that didn't sound too convincing, does it?

Impossible.

often when being told something is Impossible, i will give it all i can to break the curse. call it stubborn or determine; rebellious or focus; i definitely avoid being typical. for me to accept blindly? not a chance. tell me to do this n not that? i think not. i will Do n Decide if i want to continue doing it.

but then again, of course this attitude of mine doesn't apply to matters too serious. however, i still prefer to be my own judge than to be told what to do. weighting the pros n cons after accumulating advices is a good start, but never a way to determine what should be done. my motto? no regrets!

人生は大い冒険です！

Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino (2008)

the government secretly trained children assassins under the name of "Social Welfare Agency". these little girls were made into cyborgs to aid terrorism using their childlike appearances. having watched the first season, the second season was not much difference compare to the first. i very much recommend the first season over the second.

Attention Craving.

as hard as you listen tentatively, care or stood up for those around you when they needed the attention; they rarely care to return the favor when you are the one craving for a little attention or two. often brushed off with an inattentive reply, the focus soon shifted back to themselves or towards others around them. signs of reduced appreciation surfacing. painfully, i take in the fact that i wasn't as important to them as i perceived. swallowing the bitterness, my breathing heaves n turns rapid.

everyone for themselves, human Nature is a cruel lesson to grasp.

私はまだまだだめです。

Little Girl.

it was a warm day out, the sun glowing softly spreading its charm, the warm breeze blowing my way, soothing my newly dyed hair. down the path towards the park, stood a little girl right across the road. not more than a few years old, she was dressed in a pink fluffy dress, with pink ribbons bundling her pigtails. walked towards me clicking her pink shinny boots proudly. she gazed up at me innocently, with her eyes so big, so round n clear sparkling like crystal marbles. before i was able to reach out to caress her, she snarled n started growling warningly in her throat. her angelic figure suddenly appeared to be just a disguise.
