WBLE - (pronounced as wear-ble) my university's online learnin' site...

in short, lecturers & students alike are not crazy bout' it because of many many reasons, but hey, it's "high-tech" & it has all the lecture notes uploaded on it...

normally i wouldn't even care but,
strangely enuff, i made an avatar for my WBLE profile...

even the uber-cool geisha knows...

shoes~

2010-03-27T13:43:00.010+08:00

it's been a long time since i last blogged, life has been kinda rough these few weeks and i sorta developed a fetish for shoes, famous, branded and also expensive shoes... mz be some kind of hidden or actually not so hidden desire of mine to get a new shoe...

my wallet is kinda thin these days so in order to not get crazy thinking bout' the shoes, i drew them out on a piece of paper... it did help a lil' since i can sleep better now...

click for more pain in the eye...

i scanned them in & coloured them, really lazy to clean the scans, resulting in the poor quality of lines seen above... *eyes pain*

2010-03-10T18:57:00.008+08:00

went on a lil' 'Shah Alam-PJ-Shah Alam-Sunway-Shah Alam' trip on my scooter today...

it's been months since i bought the scooter so i decided it's time to get serious (pretty damn slow neh?)... just over a 100km of crappy experience, i went on the road and put the lives of others in danger...

the beginning was kinda good, i reached my school in Pj, then things went a lil' bad when i had a minor-minor collision with another motorist, luckily nobody and nothing was scratched... then things got worse when i reached back to Shah Alam, i was kinda lost, took a wrong turn and voila, suddenly Sunway appeared in front of my eyes... somehow, i managed to end up back in Shah Alam again, mysteriously...

that was some long trip, lucky i pumped my petrol before i got lost... a BIG sorry to all those i've annoyed today...

18 carrots?

Ultraman - "Joudan desho? itzaa daiimondo!"

jz in case you're wondering, i think carat sounds like carrot...

why ultraman and cyclops? there's no reason why... it jz happened...

farting~

2010-02-23T18:55:00.001+08:00

thinking about things i cannot afford is...

sad...

huh?

2010-02-19T17:50:00.010+08:00

'aliens'?, too many already lah, stop inviting them to live with us... hate it when they stare at me, even more when they stare with a puzzled look on their face... it damn annoying, makes me feel like there's something wrong with me, lol...

clicky click for larger pix...

hoho, my very own desktop wallpaper...

originally, it looked like this...

clicky click for larger & better quality pix...

it's really sad, cuz my hand cramped all way while i did the details & i couldn't save any of the details in the end, because i suck at colouring...

really not sure about the colour, might make a better 2nd version, someday...

OKEYはOKAY じゃない

2009-12-10T15:06:00.007+08:00

felt very bored, so i decided to create something out of pure boredom...

click for larger un-okayness on white background... left too little space on the sides...

okey is my facebook alter ego & she's not very okay...

unexpectedly, me had a lot of fun creating this, created this whole thing within 4 hours, it's so fun i even skipped lunch...

now i'm bored again...

Perfect Blue

2009-10-05T17:24:00.006+08:00

a psychological thriller based on a novel about a pop idol quits to become an actress, then people who cannot move on, makes things happen...

imo, it's a good, good, psychological thriller, check it out...

"CHAM"

Mema's Room...

*stab* *stab*

hoho... jz got a new phone and in the process of getting a motorbike license... will blog about it soon gua...

also read alot of one-shots lately but not any long manga, i'm too old, the brightness of the computer hurts & strains my eyes, my shoulders feels as if they weigh a ton & my back feels like it's gonna snap any moment, shoot, give me back my youth!

picture sharing~ 001

2009-09-10T22:23:00.003+08:00

tomorrow is my 1st exam paper, i'm all stressed out so i decided to blog instead of studying... i did study for a while before passing out while watching spongebob speakin' bahasa malaysia or melayu (i'm not sure anymore) on tv, hohoho...

here are some picture taken with vq1005 niconico version some very long time ago...

directly at the sun, the black thingy is the sun... pic taken by bro, i remember he pointed the camera up to the sky in a weird pose and waited around 10 seconds b4 the camera finally snapped this, pure torture... note to self, never stand in a weird & uncomfortable pose is you're using this cam to snap pics...

one of the bustop in asia jaya, trying to be artistic attempt 01, not much of a success though...

on the way to sunway parkin', weird buildings on the right...

7th month of the lunar calendar, the hungry ghost month, some giant incense for the festival... they're a lot teeny, took this from a distance, stick nose on screen & squeeze eyes for bigger pic...

bye bye~ cassette tapes...

2009-09-09T18:23:00.007+08:00

my dad's collection, it's a shame that they fell into oblivion in the cupboard but now's the real deal, the're goin to be gone forever... dad said that they're taking up too much space, so he decided to throw em' out... they had been there like, forever, so they don't really bother me, but they're still goin' out the window cuz dad said so...

some interesting covers... i always felt that John Lennon's illustration looks scary & i think he looks the scariest among all the scary faces in the cover...

i wonder what bread sounds like & that's Sharifah Aini when she's younger, hoho...

took a picture with my so-called "lomo-kei" & this is what i got... indoor, low light mah...

here it comes again~

2009-09-04T22:01:00.006+08:00

next week is study week... the not so challenging days are here again, trying to relax myself but exams are around the corner, so i decided to start my study week earlier & enjoy...

20th century boys 2, the last hope

the beginning was too cheesy for me, uwah~ don't really liked this episode but will still look forward to the next installment...

castaway on the moon

hmmmm... korean movie, not really a fan of k-movies but this is kinda ok & watchable, at least it's not annoying like other k-movies i've watched b4...

VQ1005 Nico Nico version

2009-08-24T17:58:00.003+08:00

ta-da

bought this cuz i thought of trying something called lomography... got my eyes on this particular so-called digital lomo cam cuz it's small, has a somewhat cute design & plus it's digital = no films...

it came with some very expensive & disgusting jelly lens filter...

basically, it runs on a AAA battery, the cam takes pretty decent pictures when there is sufficient light, after the shutter is pressed, it will take up to 7-9 seconds to actually snap a picture & i'm totally not thrilled with this fact after the manual says it only takes up to 1 seconds to do so...

i totally hated the waiting time & when it actually snaps quicker than usual it tends to overexpose my pictures... out of curiosity, i pulled off the protective case and took pictures, amazingly, the cam snaps slightly faster (better than nothing) but doesn't overexpose my pictures, subarashi desu ne?

moving object...

bright condition...

low light...

in moving car... the pic bends instead of getting all blurred up...

the question is, where is the lomo?!! if i took a picture standing still, it will just produce a normal picture, where's the lomo?!! i want part of my money back and still keep the cam of course cuz i don't think it's worth what i've paid for but somehow i still like this cam...

Let's cycle!!!

2009-08-01T07:59:00.008+08:00

since bus ticket prices jz got raised sooo darn drastically from my usual rm2 a day to rm6 a day, i bet this situation will not just affect me myself but also many other fellow comrades who rides the bus because public transportation like buses are suppose to be CHEAPer alternative for those who cannot really afford any other kinds of transportation...

well, there is something cheaper... we can all cycle to work everyday with our bikes that cost us not more than a few hundred & also not much maintenance needed besides for some occasionally flat tyres, broken chain or maybe sometimes the "potato chip"... cycling to work takes up to not more than a few hours and it can also make us healthier people, that is, if we do not crash & burn first on our wonderful roads and highways...

what a wonderful way to travel to work with your significant other (sorry for heavily pixelized pic)

you can always get a motorbike since the the prices of getting a license for motorbikes has dropped, this is quite "thoughtful" since ~~the price actually dropped just when some kind of "pest" on the road needs to be taken care of~~ *ahem* they plan to raise bus ticket prices...

this is just some ranting & suggestion for "binbo" people like me, dont read it if you don't like it... ooops, is it a lil' too late?

Dai, Dai, Dai, what?

2009-07-12T09:08:00.003+08:00

DaiCon

not this one...

but this one...

MMU is freakin' huge, i mean HUGE... the grand hall is pretty small though... everything is very pika pika & kira kira, (whatever that means) & i enjoyed myself pretty much, yes, not gonna elaborate much cuz it's all about me, me, me...

Gachapin ガチャピン

it's in my 'hitlist', hopefully i can get it when i'm less poorer, lol...

2009-06-19T22:10:00.007+08:00

feel good movie bout some high school girls playing in a band, practicing hard to perform for their school's rock festival...

not a bad movie but, personally i felt the story is lil' slow in the beginning but it gets better towards the end...

Linda Linda, Linda Linda Linda~ love the song, they actually made a pv for this song performed by PARANMAUM, the band in the movie...

Tokyo!

2009-06-15T06:28:00.001+08:00

addicted to watching movies lately, it's like some kind of cheap escape from reality, from all those assignments which i don't feel like doing till it really needs to be done... (_　_|||)

3 stories in 1 movie...

1st story - "Interior Design" by Michel GONDRY
The surreal fable of a young couple who moves to Tokyo in search of a future. While the boy's ambition is clear - be a movie maker- the girl drifts gradually apart. Both of them will be drowned in the imensity until the girl, feeling alone, discovers something strange…

knew about Michel Gondry after a very nice lecturer shared many of Gondry's work in lecture class, find them very interesting & this story is good...

2nd story - "Merde" by Leos CARAX
A mysterious man spreads confusion on the streets of Tokyo through a succession of irrational and provocative acts. "The Creature of the Sewers" as the media have dubbed him, arouse passion or repulsion. He will be captured, judged and then…

strange & gibberish folks - yada yada yada...

i don't like this story & the split second nude scene, AAARGH my eyes!

3rd story - "Shaking Tokyo" by BONG Joon-Ho
He is a hikikomori - like many others in Japan, he has withdrawn from all contact with the outside world. When the pizza delivery girl faints during an earthquake, the unthinkable happens - the man falls in love. Will he take the unimaginable step : leaving the dead security of his apartment for the streets of Tokyo?

can't help but to fall in love with this story, very simple yet very nice... btw, that Yuu Aoi on the floor, lol...

PACO and the Magical Picture Book (Pako to mahô no ehon)

2009-06-14T14:04:00.004+08:00

knew bout this movie through Kimura Kaela's Memories (original ver.) pv but never felt like checking it out till i saw the "KL annual Japanese film festival" poster with the title in it... since it made it here, it can't be all bad...

plot - There once was a hospital where patients and even doctors & nurses were all weird. Above all, Onuki, a patient who built up his company all by himself from scratch, is a super cranky old man. One day, he meets up a girl called Paco, who cannot retain memory beyond one day due to a car accident. She is reading the same picture book everyday. Onuki starts bonding with Paco after some incident, and begins to doubt his way of living. He starts wanting to do something for Paco with his remaining life, and comes up with a brilliant idea. This pleases Paco, but their fate is…asianmediawiki

Onuki & Paco

the malicious Toad Prince

wasn't expecting for her to appear... this is soooo weird...

well, overall it's not a bad movie... crazy & weird stuff + some touching scenes... did shed a few mililitres of tears watching this...

Custom Made 10.30

2009-05-29T19:21:00.004+08:00

watched it, without the subtitles...

Plot - Manamo and Minamo Kobayashi are two sisters who have had a strained relationship since their parents' divorce. Eventually circumstances bring them back together and, while things are difficult between the two at first, everything seems to work out for the best - culminating with a concert by guitarist Okuda Tamio. eiga.wikia.com

guess who? the main reason, i watched this...

Okuda Tamio performing live

speaking bout Okuda Tamio, listened his covers album by other artistes before i watched this movie & don't really liked it that much except for a song or two, but after watching his live performances in this movie, i was totally mesmerized, cool guy, i like his voice...

V.A. Okuda Tamio Covers... the 1st track mashimaro is good, don't really enjoy the other tracks, lol...

artbook fever!!!

2009-05-07T16:08:00.008+08:00

2009-05-01T12:24:00.003+08:00

ta-da, things popped out from the bag...

originally wanted to grab the green one but on many, many thoughts later, it looks kinda weird, at least on me so, got the black one instead...

black, others will barely notice it on my head...

not to forget, the free T-shatsu (which looks & feel kinda cheapskatey)...

"Study Week" Last day...

2009-04-24T17:17:00.009+08:00

actually the presentation didn't go as bad as i expected it would be, thx to the excellent sense of humour from the lecturer... the class bursted into laughter after seeing my story... the lecturer seemed to laugh very hard & even able crack jokes about my storyboard even though she had seen it like, a million times? it's a good thing...

Scrape that away...

seen YUI's again pv, missed her very much, although the pv is kinda boring but, can't help but to enjoy it, very much indeed...

look who's back

the drummer - SHIHO from Stereo Pony, very lil' screen time tho...

"Study Week" Day03 & 04

2009-04-23T22:35:00.003+08:00

day 3 was boring, ended up playing GTA Chinatown Wars the whole day... it's a pretty cool game, i can actually complete missions in this NDS version unlike the PSP one, hardcore games are not for 'unhardcore' gamers like me...

day 4 is worse, rushing on some last minute assignments (to be handed up on study week?!! come on!!!) accompanied with a very, very runny nose...

will be going back 2 school tomorrow to present the assignment & look like an idiot in front of all the experts in my class... wth, life goes on...

"Study Week" Day02

2009-04-21T23:25:00.004+08:00

Detroit Metal City (live-action)

laughed-out-loud like an idiot watching this...

learning a new song, Love Story by Taylor Swift... it's been a long time since i last practiced guitar, me fingers are soooo sore i have difficulty typing this...

"Study Week" Day01

2009-04-20T22:40:00.002+08:00

20th Century boys (live-action)

loved how much the character's looks resemble the ones in the manga... it's kinda distracting that i actually knew the story & even who's the bad guy but still, can't wait for the 2nd & 3rd installments, ku ku ku ku ku...

Perfume in Budoukan

2 words, cool stuff! it's been a long long time since i feel the way i feel while watching this, never felt this way since i last anticipated the release of YUI's Summer Song, say no more, i think i love Perfume...

Pluto

2009-04-14T09:52:00.002+08:00

have been wanting to read this for a very long time now, finally, got it & finished up 8 volumes in 3-4 hours time...

another masterpiece from Urasawa Naoki, liked it very much (but, honestly, I still prefer Monster...)

regular cover

deluxe cover, die-cut of Tetsuwan Atom's head silhouette, cool...

opened up... would be really cool to actually own this...

won't reveal or have any spoilers in this post cuz it would spoil the whole reading experience, wouldn't it? put yer hands on this read it yourself...

wasn't too sure bout the ending, it felt rushed but it's still a good ending, i guess... time to find & read the original Tetsuwan Atom...

manga galore 02

2009-04-07T12:00:00.006+08:00

honestly can't remember some of the story below without some brief rereading... most of them can be flung out the window after one read BUT keep the Bleach artbook & maybe Tokyo Akazukin too if it's your kind of 'thing'...

here is what i've read for the past few busy months...

Bleach - All Colour but the Black (Artbook)

have no idea what the title means but it's filled with loads of great artwork...

Tokyo Akazukin

little red riding hood (LRRH) with a 'lil' twist makes it a twisted LRRH... a perfect gift for pedophiles & psychos...

Taiyou no Uta

this is based on the movie version played by YUI, just a lil' faster paced than the movie but basically everything is almost the same...

Free Soul

a 'yuri' manga... just some girl x girl love story...

Instinct and a Chromosome

shoot, another yuri manga, i'm normal btw, it's just bad choice of manga XD... another rabu rabu story...

Kare no Satsujin Keikaku

stupid boy plans to kill somebody so he's not so normal...

Falling

Junji Ito's manga but lacks the scary & disgusting part...

A Train At The End of Summer

WTH!!!

APPLE

if not mistaken, things grow out of the boy... shoot, can't remember story...

Farewell Showa

some kind of Japanese political joke? i don't understand...

my list of manga to download has grown to a whole new level, WAY bigger than my previous list... yipee...

2009-02-28T18:20:00.003+08:00

never had much feelings for my previous shoes except for this particular pair of shoes...

threw it out a few minutes ago & many memories came to me, it has been with me from the beginning of my college days in 2006 till yesterday, it has been through rain & shine, hot & cold with me, even got thru the (lousy) sand & salt water at Pantai Kerachut in Penang, then went to work with me & get really smelly, still by my side till i entered my current university...

the embarrasing hole in the shoe, lol...

peeling off...

not many shoes entered my life cuz i'm too lazy to buy them but did have two other shoes during the few years but one of them wore out (really fast) & the other is a converse, it's expensive so i don't wear it much...

guess who...

2009-02-20T17:32:00.003+08:00

my (assignment) painting of a famous tv personality, guess who, if you can, lol...

answer

Valentine plans...

2009-02-14T05:35:00.004+08:00

i'm awake now, 5.30 in the morning... my plan is to jump on an early bus to meet my Thai language lecturer & a whole bunch of my classmates & speak Thai together in a smelly air-con classroom, how romantic...

updates?

2009-01-28T18:03:00.006+08:00

well, nothing much...

Camus is here, lucky i didn't get it together with the other 2 cuz he seems to get cheaper every time i see him...

went back to study, this time it's really bad since there is no more hostel, i travel back & forth to home & school, 7am-7pm if i get really unlucky with the buses... trying to find some rooms to rent there, so hopefully i will find a good one soon (fingers crossed)...

assignments are as usual, loads of them... besides that, i have been attending Thai language classes (cuz it's a part of the syllabus), well, actually it's kinda fun but i tend to get a lil' lost at times, well, who doesn't?

on a happier note, celebrated Chinese New Year with fancy food...

on a even happier note, jz learned Oasis's 'Don't Look Back in Anger' yesterday, with the help of this wonderful guitar wielding lady...

wayslinn, check out her other youtube lessons--> here

Premium Calpis?

2009-01-10T18:07:00.005+08:00

so, wth is Calpis? all i knew was it's a japanese drink, curiosity kicks in so i bought a premium one instead of the normal kind...

after drinking it, i realized, i paid 8 bucks for a bottle of 350ml yogurt drink... >_<

Gekijouban Doubutsu no Mori (Animal Crossing)

2009-01-08T18:11:00.007+08:00

checked this out of curiosity... it's about life, friendship & stuffs like that... i find it kinda boring, yea it's cute but it's also undeniably boring...

the gang

K.K. Slider doing his K.K. Bossa, vocaloid style... cool...

manga galore 01

these are some i've read recently,

lose at least 5kgs,
draw more & hopefully become a better at art,
get better at guitar & learn more songs,
polish my manners, be a better person...

that's enough for now, maybe i won't even fulfill any of those... anyways,

BIG fat happy 2009 to everyone out there~

deaf but not deaf...

2008-12-30T14:44:00.004+08:00

extracted 'some' of my antique earwax that has been there for as long as i can remember cuz it finally hurts, not a very nice experience since the pain was intense & what's worse, there's still more inside there after two doctor visits...

what's left inside now has made me somewhat deaf, to noises from the outside but i can hear all the other stuffs going on inside me, creepy...

the magic drops that is supposedly gonna make my hearing go back to normal...

it's actually kinda weird that i used to hear pretty well although the big fat earwax was stuck in my ear for years...

free leech!

2008-12-23T23:12:00.005+08:00

ya ho! free leeching on b*xtorrents, it starts on december 19th till 4th january & slow me jz realized it a few minutes ago... time to get everything on my wish list~

by the way, me previous post shows me laptop keys flew off to 'lalaland' after being hit by YUI's guitar scorebook, the 's' is easily popped back into place while the unlucky 'w' stay broken & exposed till few hours ago where i found some advice from 'binbo' people like me on the net to jz replace it with some keys that probably won't be used a lot, as for me, the right alt works great, at least better than what it was before...

after a few months of hard work, i finally bought a Squier Fender starter set from Bentley for the price of rm1190 (cheaper than what i saw few months back) but it only cost me rm990 thx to the rm200 chipped in by bro as my b'day present...

the box was darn heavy with the guitar, amp & all the accesories, luckily with the help two strong arms from a strong man, my brother, the guitar was brought home safe & sound...

the box (with a bad flash,lol)

the 15watt amp & the guitar hidden in gigbag...

ta-da...

it's really nice, bet it's nicer when i peel of the annoying blue sticker...

accessories, fender headphones, tuner, picks & a dunlop pick...

of course there are cables but it's too troublesome to take pics of so i left it out, the guitar is really nice but since i'm still working i don't really have the time to really try it out good...

in my previous post about narutaru, i was not able to finish reading this manga cuz i tought nobody scanlates it anymore, well, i was wrong & a lil' impatient but now it's finished & i've read it all...
so, it was only ok for me, not really that great...

Dainippon Tengutou Ekotoba (Japan Tengu Party)

2008-07-11T14:03:00.002+08:00

loved the ink-painting technique used for the art, i didn't really know how to appreciate it when i 1st read Sexy Voice & Robo by the same author, but now i see & understand the beauty of the technique... besides that, in my opinion the story is also good, yeah good, maybe somewhere near great...

plot summary from ANN - The ''tengu'', arrogant magical creatures from traditional Japanese folkore, exist. Nothing but disgraced and scattered remnants of the species remain today, but a few individuals raise the signal to gather all tengu together from all over the country and rule Japan as is their birthright. We follow a group of humans and tengu, as questions begin to raise about the tengu's very nature. The ''Tengu Party'' hits the stage.

Tekkonkinkreet (Black & White)

2008-01-23T15:53:00.000+08:00

It's been ages since I've read mangas due to the laziness to read the (sometimes longwinded) dialogues...

In Treasure Town, orphans Black and White rule the mean streets through violence and terror. These lost boys are direct opposites: Black being a streetwise punk who embodies everything wrong about the city, while White is a innocent dope, out of touch with the world around him. Together, they're unstoppable as they take on petty thugs, religious fanatics and brutal yakuza. But when a corporation called "Kiddy Kastle" tries to tear down and rebuild Treasure Town to fit its own goals, the boys must save the soul of their beloved city, that is if they can save themselves from inner demons... ANN

I don't really like the manga's drawing style but, I'm looking forward to the animated movie, not sure when I'm gonna get to watch it though...

But while they both live different ways, Hojo and Asami share the same past; both of them were survivors of the Killing Fields of Cambodia. With the aggression and survival instincts they learned in the Cambodian jungles, Hojo and Asami strive in both the Yakuza and political world to reform Japan into their own sanctuary.ANN

Satoyama Katsuki is a carefree 15 year old high school kid, and a pretty lazy one at that. However, he secretly has a crush on a girl who happens to share his name: Mizutani Katsuki. Upon finding out that Mizutani's father used to be a pro-boxer, and she herself infatuated with the sport, he reluctantly joins a boxing gym in order to impress Mizutani. Satoyama is quick to find out he may have the blood of a genius boxer running through his veins...ANN

I like this manga very much, it's very rare for me to like a shojou manga but I think Kare Kano is really good (although I only really got into the story during the middle part till the end where everything is so mysterious) & it's also fun to read the mangaka, Tsuda Masami sharing her thoughts in the manga...

Not really a fan of hers & never heard her song from beginning till the end before this but, guess what, I got her album (my 1st original album) + poster & autograph + a handshake, too bad that I didn't bring my camera with me... *kicks self*

Poster... ads, ads, ads!

Inside... some pretty good songs too...

See that? The sign, watcha lookin at?

This is my 1st time seeing a celeb up close, about Karen, she's cute but looks a lot skinnier than she was in pictures, in fact the boniest hand I've ever shook, creepy...

2007-06-22T21:43:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, bought a ticket to my college's 'Black Rose' play, going there to gain some new experience again since I've never been to one before...

It's in Mandarin so I'll most probably miss out many of the dialogues (I'm not very good in Mandarin) but I guess I'll just enjoy the performance if things gets out of hand... btw, this is written before the play...

Ticket, hmmm... nothing to do wif 'Black Rose' huh?

Ahh, the plays finally over, the dialog is much easier to understand than what i've expected, the story's kinda too short though & also some lighting problems but in the end the whole thing is very entertaining, it's packed with good jokes & something I did not expect at all - good acting...

I must say, the cast did a really good job, very natural & full of passion, SALUTE!

Managed to get a crappy pic of part of the cast...

Ugh, gigantic heads blocking the view of the main actress

The 1 with the mask in the pic is the 'old Black Rose', the main actress, also the 'new Black Rose' in the story who is not in the pic looks something like this...

... or maybe not...

Crying Freeman

2007-06-08T23:20:00.000+08:00

I cannot believe that I actually like this manga since this kind of drawing, genre & those 18+ scenes usually made me feel very uneasy but I guess the story covers those things...

I felt that later into the story, after the 'crying freeman' kills, his crying looks kinda fake cuz it feels like he cries just because he is 'crying freeman' & he is supposed to cry... Well, if I'm gonna guess how 'crying freeman' will come to an end in his life, I would guess AIDS...

Nothing much to say 'bout it, paintings & photographs everywhere... At the end of the gallery there was this 'comments book' or something like that, I read some of the comments - "cool", "very interesting" & so on so forth then there is this comment - "Damn boring, KLCC too much $ izzit?"...
Well, as for me, I subconsciously used my worst possible ever handwriting & wrote - "I was here. Taimuk"

Although it's great, I had a hard time trying to finish it up cuz 400 pages in 1 volume is really too much for me...

Planned to watch this movie in the cinema a few weeks ago but scrapped the plan cuz I was just too bloody busy with school & you don't know how glad I was for not being able to watch it in a cinema...

This movie did not really suit my taste, it's a little too obscene (for me) & I hate the ending very much... I really wonder did those (lots & lots of) nude scenes was shown in Malaysian cinemas, I feel that if it's censored, it will certainly spoil the whole movie...
