When I Get Home My Wife Always Pretend to be Dead

No, I do not have a wife. FYI, it is a title of a Vocaloid song.

Google it if you are interested to listen it.

Well, this blog post was written after I cried.

I have to say, this is the 2nd time I cried after watching an anime.

I'll put it in my Top 10 list on top of Honey & Clover.

あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない had a really touching plot.

the anime definitely appealed to me

maybe because i had more empathy for the characters

who fall out because of the death of a dear friend

however, similar to the series [C]

I also felt that there were many underlying themes

that could have been further elaborated.

Likewise, all characters could have more development

instead of a single explosion of

screams, tears and confessions

which made me felt that the ending episode was a little rush.

Do check it out

if you have a soft spot for romance frictions.

Strongly recommended by the self-acclaimed otaku, me.

Something which I wanted to buy for Bon Odori this year.

Second hand. RM90. Not sure about the quality though.

I've never been to that event

though I've asked my ex-classmates to go together few years back.

So when I heard some INTI students was organizing a trip to the said event,

I quickly signed up

In fact, I even persuaded some of my friends to join me :)

Cosplay is definitely an expensive hobby,

even more expensive than GunPla (Gundam models)

But I'm pretty sure the experience is worth the price I pay

Now that I am involved in INTI MAG Club,

I get to know many comrades with strong and interesting character

such as

A guy who builds his analytic way of thinking based on his love for Detective Conan and Ace Attorney

A girl who is stubborn about her choice of anime and taste for fashion

A guy who dares to cross-gender cosplay, who went to participate in Malaysia's World Cosplay Summit regardless of the difficulties faced

and his girlfriend who supported him all the way

Another girl who's proud to be a tomboy

These people definitely gained my respect because they did not give in to social norms

I do not have the courage to do the same

But I believed with these comrades, I definitely could make that change too!

Happy Synthesizer

I've asked myself a question in the past.

"Do I like females with long hair? Or do I only like having long hair?"

Hence, like any other scientists in the world,

I decided to carry out an experiment to find an answer.

The experiment also serves as a journey of self-discovery for myself

as I find myself wandering aimlessly ever since I started out my degree programme.

Well, yesterday was the end of the 10-month long experiment that begun in August 2010.

Did I find an answer?

Yes, I did. I like long hair.

And my best guess to the reason behind this answer

must have been due to my ordeal in my primary and secondary schools

To simply put it, I hated those education institutions

for the fact that they tried to instill dogmas and other unjustifiable regulations in me

I am indeed a rebellious kid.

The only commodity I have is my analytic mindset

the one thing that I would have to protect

even if it means going against the world and its norms

so be it

I just wanna live the way I want to be

I'll be happy to share my life with each and everyone of you

You definitely could do the same

so as long as you do not trample on my pride and principles.

Mr Music

Recently I've not been listening to any English song. Instead I've loaded my MP3 playlist with songs by Vocaloids. Maybe it's because of my latest job to write commentary of Vocaloid Weekly Ranking for vocaloidfan.com. Check these out:

• Weekly VOCALOID Ranking #193
• Weekly VOCALOID Ranking #192
• Weekly VOCALOID Ranking #191

Well, when asked of how I would rate myself for my work as the Vice President (Academic Affairs) of 15th INTIMA, I gave myself a 3/10 score. Coz' I've realized that I forgot my goals somewhere between the busy time of the past 2 semesters.

What happened? Had I fall prey to the excess workload from my studies and complaints from students? Or had I given up on fighting for what I believed to be right when no one truly appreciates my efforts? I could not tell.

In the past few weeks, I've filled up my schedule with so many student activities that I fell sick due to overexertion of my physical and mental health. At least this situation gave me the excuse to put down all my commitments for a while and take a good rest.

• Youth Camp 6 by STACT Club was great. I was happy to be facilitators to secondary school teenagers who once again, reminded me how to enjoy life, one thing that I've forgotten as I grew out of the 20 years old
• Children Camp 7 by LEO Omega Club was definitely an eye-opening experience. For one, if all kids were as naughty as the orphans who participated in this camp, I'm sure that the future of humans would be extremely bleak
• Now looking forward to Maid vs Butler Cafe and Bon Odori trip with my newly acquainted comrades from Manga Anime Game Club

The Vulture

la la la... life is too short to be even worried about making mistakes...

yet, I still wondered if I've made a mistake by agreeing to participate in all those events

camps, trips, meetings, conferences etc...

I might be so busy and stress up for the next two months that I might kill myself

hence I'll write a resolution here!

Your life in school/ university is coming to an end.

What are you going to do about it?

Regret about the mistakes you have done?

Or the girl who you do not dare to call for a date?

No!

Coz' I never hesitated in making those decisions in the past

so why would I regret about my past!

Snow Piece

Currently playing Pokemon GBA on my lappie. Can't help to troll with this image.

The last two images are self-explained. Enough said.

God Only Knows

The World God Only Knows. The only harem setting I approve of.

Elsie getting ignored by her partner a.k.a. God of Conquest.

Come on, who can deny the attraction of this anime/manga series. For one, the protagonist is a playboy who could (practically) get any girl and yet prefer 2D characters. To add on, devils are cute little girls who return souls to hell (and then the souls go to heaven) instead of taking souls.

"I can see the ending".

It seems that every girl conquest by this God needs an ending. Or else he would not be able to live by his reputation as the God of Conquest. Well, I doubt anyone I know could actually live to his/hers own ideal while ignore their attachment to reality. But I do wish that I could attain such enlightenment just like the protagonist, Keima.

But still, do girls really fall for sweet talk that easily?

I know I'll get one hell of a smack in the head if I try to ask this to my female friends.

Traverse Town

Congratulation for celebrating your 2nd birthday with me, my dearest laptop! I seriously cannot imagine a life in varsity without your company. There would be no life at all! Even the Stringrays (INTI Frisbee team which I recently joined) uses Facebook to update all its members on practice sessions and tournaments.

It's not that I could not eat more, but due to financial constriction, I could not have more unagi and seasoned octopus! Never mind, I will save up for a trip to the Land of the Rising Sun instead! Hmmph!

One of my latest possession. It is a Japanese tea cup that I redeemed from Nottingham's Japanese Society after spending RM20 at their Bunkasai (文化祭) . The made-in-China cup itself did not worth RM20, but the experience definitely did! I got to know 2 cosplayers from INTI Nilai through the event, though I doubt they will remember me T_T

P/S: Even though I hate to admit it, but 43 wall posts on Facebook reminded me that I am now another year older. That sucks. If there is a birthday wish, I would wish that I stop getting older.
