My Pony Lies Over the Ocean

Something weird happened today. It's not a rare sight in Australia according to sis but it's certainly shocking to see it over here in Malaysia. 2 police men passed by my house riding on a horse each. I'm not kidding! It happened so fast that I did not have the chance to take a good picture of it. All I heard was ke-de-kut ke-de-kut, then ran out of the house and saw two police men hahah. "I don't even live near a stable, barn or pasture.. why are there horses here? How did they came? Did they rode it through LDP or Sprint Highway?? " Those were some of the thoughts I had in my mind when I saw it. I quickly ran up to grab the camera and standby the auto gate keys in case they pass by again.. but sadly, they did not.

Okies.. I did some Google and guess what I found? There's a horse unit in our police force. In October, these horses were at SS2. Click here for more photographs. Suddenly I felt as if I live inside a cave haha. SS2 is just a couple of neighborhood away from my house. And I didn't know about that event? Should have went and rode on the white one . Haha horses reminded me about some soon to be 31 years old and bald guy who's Chinese zodiac is a horse too.

Talking about horses, I have an expression/face that my sister calls it the Horse Face while I call it the Won Bin smile Because my teeth are so small unlike some fashion disaster beast, if I over smile, you'll see my gums. No pictures of it cause I really hate it when my picture turn out to have a Won Bin smile. I ain't no Won Bin

The horses sure do reminded me of my camping days at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club back then in 2001. Come to think of it.. I was talking about the camp with my sister on my way back from Monash. And not long after that, the horses appeared. Hmmm....

It's in the name

Remember a while ago, I blogged about the post code lottery? Today's entry will be about the naming lottery. The Chinese thinks that it's very important for their children to have a good name. They believe that the name will reflect what kind of person their children will grow up to be. I'm not stereotyping people by saying people with what name have a certain behavior or they end up getting what type of job but I think it can be quite true.

For example.. the stray cats behind my house. The one named Tatsu (Dragon) turn out to be quite a strong cat. It's quite aggressive when it comes to food and is not afraid of people. Sometimes it even roars like a tiger. not cat As for its twin, Maki (not sure what it means in English.. rolls is the closest word I guess) always roll around. And lastly, the orange kitten, Ji hoo. It's a little soft lembik just like Ji Hoo sunbae. Should have named it Jun Pyo or something.

I wonder what does my name have in store for me? Haha Car? Arc? Care? Reine means queen. no wonder I once dreamed that I was a queen But too bad it's not my name haha.

Special Delivery

Remember last month, I mention that I won a contest? Today, I finally receive my prize, specially delivered from Japan. It was sent out 2 weeks ago and everyday I was looking forward to receive this paranoid-ing whenever I hear signs of Mr. Postman It sure feels good to win a contest.


Came back from 1Utama again and found this laying on my car porch


The contents inside. Rilakkuma goodies with a touch of Haruhi Suzumiya. Rilakkuma's so cute! cannot tahan

Thank you very much shibuya246 san. If you're wondering what is that contest about, click here. This morning, KinKi Kids underground secret concert was posted on shibuya246 too. Was really really happy to see KinKi Kids there. What a good way to start my 'reward' day. Hee Did they bring luck to me or something?

Earlier on, I said that I went to One Utama right? The Xmas theme for OU's New wing is White Xmas.

The settings not very white also

Shop above RM300 in a single receipt (RM250 for onecard members) and get this musical box for free..I think. Not very sure about this



That's me and the settings. I took for sis as well..but as usual.. It turned out really bad. I don't know why but I have this problem of taking photographs of human being. It's like I don't know where to focus.

Whats for lunch? Sushi Zanmai! again

4 sets of Yaki Tama Mentai sushi, 1 set of Kani Mayo Inari sushi and Potato Salad. Haha yes, My sister and I love the Yaki Tama Mentai sushi very much.

Jay Elle Pee Tee

Yesterday, I sat for my JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) which took place at UPM (University Putra Malaysia) "Out of all places.. Why UPM??" That was my thought before my visit but now... UPM's such a nice place! So many treeswork really well as shade.. beautiful greenery and super huge campus. I should have brought my camera laaaaaa. Before leaving home, my mum asked me "Eh..want to bring camera?" and I replied " For what??" IIsh iish.. I guess mum's know best? Haha seriously very cantik la the place. Unlike my concrete jungle university. Maybe not jungle but there are not much greenery over here in Monash. And my Monash is really small compared to UPM.. but being small is good in a way too. It's easier to go around campuses and you'll bump into your friends easily. One thing I really hope Sunway Monash can improve is the cafeteria. Not so much MSG please! And please plant more trees too. The sun is shining wayyyy to bright here.

Anyway..back to my JLPT story. The crowd was really huge! Hmm..why do I sound like I came out from the jungle? Haha I wasn't expecting such a huge crowd actually. You get to see all kinds of people, as young as primary to older working class did their company force them to take? I was seated in the front row which is really good cause I can hear the listening audio perfectly clear.

Before the test, my sister and I were talking to one of our classmate. She told me that I have good memory. I find it really funny cause memory is never my fortebesides remembering other people's birthday. I'm more of a tip of the tongue person.

Overall, the paper was quite okay. Just hope that I did not make any careless mistakes. It always happens when I did the past year papers. The results will only be announced on next March.. long way more to go. But I'm sure it will come in a blink

So after JLPT, I went over to my uncle's place for his birthday party. My little nephew's so cute! He collected empty cans and wanted to recycle it. I think I'm inspired by him? Pictures some other day ya? Hee

Music Monday #4

Hello! It's another Music Monday. Will post another entry about my yesterday later at night.

Week 4's song of the week is "It's Gonna Rain" by Bonnie Pink.

2:20 minutes long preview

A little about Bonnie Pink
A Japanese singer who lived in New York. Her music style mixes between Jazz, Blues, pop and rock. Click here for more information. Rumor has it Domoto Tsuyoshi is dating Bonnie Pink.

About the song
Released on the 18th of June 1997, it's one of the ending song for the anime Ruroni Kenshin (Samurai X). This song has Jazz influences in it I think. You can hear it in the beginning of the song. Oh man..what happened to all my American Music's knowledge I learnt last semester. No wonder I only had a credit for American Music

For the lyrics/translation, click here

I think this song kinda suits the weather lately haha thats why I pick this for this week's Music Monday.

Interested? Click on here for the full version

Aye aye aye..

Aye Aye I... I'm your little butterfly.. Green, black and blue make the color in the sky

Aye Aye Aye.. Where's my Samurai?

Lately, I've been watching and reading some Samurai related text and that song *points above* I'm sure guys know that song came to my mind yesterday. So I decided to write about the Samurai for today's entry.

A couple of days ago, I was watching "Takizawa Enbujo" which is Takki's Samurai Musical. When he appeared, I thought "Woah.. Takki as a Samurai is really convincing." It then stuck me that I've never seen a Samurai, how do I know Takki looks/behaves like a Samurai? His sharp fierce eyes? Neatly shaped eyebrows? Squarish jaw? The way he speaks? His gesture?

You see.. these characteristics listed above are my impression of a Samurai which is obviously mediated. In films, Samurai always appear to look very fierce and speaks in a low tone and it made us think that all Samurai are like that. What we see is what the media whats us to see and not necessarily 100% accurate. I'm not saying what they're showing is wrong. .I'm just wondering about it. My apologies if you find entries as such boring. It's just that I usually spend my time wondering about things like that although I look like I don't use my brain a lot.

Anywayyy.. so how does your mediated Samurai looks like? Here's my top 3 favorite samurai actors.

1. Takizawa Hideaki

Although Takki has a little Western feature his nose? eyes?, I think he still can play as a Samurai. I guess it's because he have this what the Chinese call "General(將軍) Face" General as in Military's Generalissimo not the common general.

At 2nd place would of course be Domoto Koichi.

He somehow reminded me of Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. Besides, his skills in swinging the blades in Sushi Oji and SHOCK is one of the factors too.and the eyes! He was also ranked 2nd in a poll "Which actor would you like to see play the role of a samurai warlord of the Sengoku period (1467/1493-1573)?" Sorry that I couldn't find a better samurai picture of Ko chan.

If you're wondering who was rank first in that poll.. It was MatsuJun. But I prefer to see Jun looking glamor in his bling. Actually I think he looks more like an emperor

At 3rd place, Miura Haruma who is currently starring in the drama "Samurai High School"

Honestly, when I first watch Samurai High School, I was like "YERRR what kind of show is this. So lame one." Thank God I did not stop watching it. It gets better episode by episode and Miura proved that whether a thug, hacker, guy who make his girlfriend pregnant, detective or a student, he can carry his role well. And now he can add Samurai into his archive.

Also , I've never seen him as a Samurai before.. but I think he have the eyebrows of a Samurai. Very oriental eyes, Kamenashi Kazuya. No need picture la ya.. Lazy to Google.

And of course that guy who played as a blind samurai 3 years ago

Who? Figure out yourself!

Fashion Terrorist #4

Fashion terrorist is finally back in action! Today, while my mum was arranging her wardrobe, she came across this Batik top she bought some time ago but never really worn it before. So as usual, she told me to try it and here comes Fashion terrorist.

The Batik top is too short for leggings/stockings but I still wore it because I don't like to wear jeans. I tied a coconut hair before the shooting and it's really hard to comb it down so I had to put on the fedora to cover it. I played around with different shoes but my expression looks very blur so I'll just upload 2 la.





eeek.. missing hand haha
