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.

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

Stupid is as stupid does

I have so many things to blog about and I don't know where to start. Maybe I should write it chronologically.

Tuesday, 1st December
After touching down from the land down under on Sunday,Estee came over to my house. We're suppose to have lunch cooking session but postponed it because Jackie is having classes during lunch time. So we plan our yum cha turn dinner session on 5PM. Kim came late due to the heavy traffic and Jackie in the end, did not make it. You better make it next time okayyyy! As usual, Estee made us laugh with her unintended jokes. Hahaha Estee ah estee.. At least you know more about Russia, UK and the US now. Don't be so anti social ya?

Wednesday, 2nd December
I went to The Curve again! To collect my Hard disc this time. I had to pay RM100 for data recovery. Should have saved more things inside and make it more worth it. But it's good to hear that nothing big happened on my HD. I took some pics with the Xmas decoration outside of The Curve.




I think they recycle their Xmas decoration which is a good thing in a way

Came home..and watch the long anticipated, Forrest Gump! Big thanks to Kim for the DVD


This movie's really good! Go and get the DVD if u have the chance. You know sometimes, a story doesn't have to be complicated to be exciting or interesting. Forrest Gump, a very simple story of a simple person can be so unique. Besides Hanks, Gary Sinise is in the movie as well. Detective Mac Taylor! I think I wanna get the novel of it and also Bubba Gump anyone?

At night, I watched Samurai High School which I will blog about it next time.

This morning, I watch the Da Vinci Code. and tomorrow maybe The Lady's Killer I'm watching a Tom Hanks' movie but I was expecting Nicholas Cage's face. .I have no idea why.

And I just got my results! Cannot be considered good but there's slight improvement. Phewww

The Perfect Girl Evolution

Back then in 2006, there was this anime entitled "Yamato Nadeshiki Shichi Henge" ( The Perfect Girl Evolution) which I enjoyed a lot. second after Ouran I was hoping for a drama adaptation and guess what? It's happening next Winter!

My ideal cast

Sunako: No one yet

Kyohei: Yamashita Tomohisa

Takenaga: Nishikido Ryo

Ranmaru: Kamenashi Kazuya

Yukinojo: Koike Teppei

Winter 2010's cast

Sunako: Omosa Aya (Pi's sister in Buzzer Beat, also the messy hair girl in Mei chan no Shitsuji)

Kyohei: Kamenashi Kazuya

Takenaga: Uchi Hiroki

Ranmaru: Miyao Shuntaro Don't know who

Yukinojo: Tegoshi Yuya

Hmm.. I'm very happy with Kame as Kyohei and Tego as Yuki. Tego really really suits this role! My favorite character is actually Mori Ranmaru I like his name. Thats why I was kinda shock when I saw a name that I'm not familiar with playing that role. But it's still to early to judge. As for Uchi.. not really a fan of him.
