Once Upon a Me

I love my country

- the country of public holidays
Oh well, what else can I say about this country?

But to me, 31st August is not National Day.

Backed on actual historical facts,
the actual National Day of Malaysia
should have been 16th of September.

More importantly,

31st August is the anniversary of the release date
for VOCALOID2- Hatsune Miku
the cover face behind the famous voice synthesizer programme and voicebank
which revolutionized the world of music
and my life as well

Happy Birthday, Miku! Congratulation for being 4 years old now!

Rip this off from FB.

Guess I now have better things

to celebrate on the 31st of August every year

reignite my passion for Gunpla

Well, for those who don't know what Gunpla is

the image below explains a lot

Perfect Grade Gundam Strike Freedom (lupes mod.) Rip off from the owner's blog.

I realized that I was involved in

many hobbies and sports

illustration, cosplay, video games...

frisbee, squash, badminton...

perhaps I am the best example of

a Jack-of-all-trades

and a master-of-none

DRIVE TO THE MOON

My imaginative friend

who accompanied me to Sg. Buloh.

Someone told me he looked like the one from Mr. Bean series.

I didn't really realize that previously,

but I guess I'm becoming

more and more like Mr. Bean

Heck, my car also resembles his car.

Ghost

I wish there is a ghost in my room

then there will be someone for me to talk to

at night after work

when I watch the sun sets, the ceiling fan spins

the tap water flows

hoping to find some other better way to kill time

Perhaps I should adopt a pet

and bring it to Sg. Buloh

Maybe I should frequently eat-out at McD

to access the WiFi connection there

Or probably I would drive down to One Utama

and watch the buzz of people walking pass me

Whatsoever that I choose

will never put a smile on my face

Well, now I have all the time I need

to prepare for ACGC events

such as Animangaki and ComicFiesta

or even AnimeFestivalAsia

Self-Reflection IV

Well, I'll be starting my internship next week (15/8)

which means I will be

saying goodbye to my hometown

and internet broadband for 4 months

Thankfully I have a new love *smirks

that will be following me to Sg. Buloh

other than my beloved camera

24/2/2011: Big Appetite 2

Funny that

while I am the most picky eater I had ever known

And I joined an appetite competition in INTI

which turned out to be no more than a appetizer to me

It's not a surprise that my team won the 2nd prize

coz' all the members are great eaters!

P/S: I am a self-confessed glutton

I eat food faster than Ferrari burns petrol

26/3/2011: UNMC's Bunkasai (文化祭)

My first ACGC event that I really spent the entire day in

A truly enjoyable experience

I got to wear a yukata during the event :)

In the past, I've attended ComicFiesta, DaiCon and GACC

but without any comrades of the same interest

this time I was joined by members of the Manga-Anime-Games Club

so there was company this time

I even brought back a lovely souvenir

to remind me of that great time we had

everytime I have a sip of water

Self-Reflection III

19-24/12/2010: Trip to Riau, Indonesia

I have to admit,

this trip truly open my eyes to a world outside of my own.

To see a loving community,

people of the same faith and culture background

being united together,

something which Malaysian could only dream of

25-29/12/2010: Trip to Singapore

Right after coming back from Indonesia,

I went to Singapore on the very next day

Practically it was my first time meeting my triplet nephews

who are adorable and yet, violent at the same time

I also celebrated Christmas for the first time

though not the same way as Christians do it

But this trip is definitely memorable in many ways

8/1/2011: Hamster adoption

The day I adopted 3 hamsters

that were given away by a fellow senior

Not that those hamsters are under my care right now

But still, it was my first attempt at getting a pet (for real)

if you exclude the experience of

rearing Siamese fighting fishes when I was 8 years old

Self Reflection Part II

Recently, I've been thinking about my first day at INTI

and how I came to know people from diverse backgrounds.

I wouldn't say different cultural backgrounds

coz' sadly, my friends and acquaintances are kinda limited to Malaysians

Well, for someone who couldn't do small talks (some call it crap talk)

I do think that I did not bad in socializing

and thanks to INTI

I have a Facebook account =="

11/10/2010: Went to IDP at Subang Jaya

I intended to apply for credit transfer to universities abroad,

but after a long time of consideration,

I decided to put off this plan.

Many factors played a role in my choice.

It's not that I regretted my pick,

it's just that I feel sad that

I could not have the best of everything

Well, I am one greedy fellow :)

24/10/2010: DOTA Friendly Match

Well, I tried to organize friendly matches like this several times,

but I guess this was the only successful event.

It's not that I am really into DOTA

but it's a great way to kill time and stress

Plus it's a common topic among my friends and I

12/11/2010: Bill Clinton Talk

Because of this event, I had to fork out money to buy a coat

In the end, I couldn't go to AFAX in Singapore which I really wanted to go

but I could not afford to

Now that I'm working

I think I could afford to go to AFA'11

Let's hope that my ACG-loving friends will join me!
