end.

Everyone is looking for something in life.

Would you rather never find it.

Or realize at the end that you were searching for the wrong thing.

shinigami.

When you ask people who their favourite actors are, most likely you'll get the names of Hollywood actors. Like Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and George Clooney. Haha. Okay, may not be applicable to everyone but those three are my favourites =D.

Anyways, the point is that everyone forgets the asians. No?

Well, now I will introduce to you three of my favourite asian actors.

Jang Geun Suk.

He's Korean and most famous for playing Hwang Tae Kyung on "You're Beautiful". Perhaps the role of a rockstar doesn't seem like much, but from his other roles (like a psychopathic killer in "Itaewon Murder Case", you can tell that he's got talent.


Mike He Jun Xiang.

Taiwanese. I first saw him in "Devil Beside You" and later in "Why Why Love". Although his roles have been relatively typical (the bad boy who falls in love), his emotions are so realistic, that even during the sad scenes, even the crew members are crying.


Tatsuya Fujiwara.

Most might know him from Death Note as Light Yagami but I know him as Shuya Nanahara in Battle Royale. Even though he was so young then (18 years old), he had the talent to carry out the role of a boy who is forced to take part in a brutal game.


So yeah, my three favourite asian actors.

kick.

I'd always been a great lover of books.

I've read plenty of books over time and always loved getting lost in the stories. It's like time would pass by so fast when you're immersed in some one else's story.

But since A-levels started, I think I'd kinda lost the reading habit. All story books that I seem to have read were just for lit class. Books were no longer an escape from dreary reality. Instead, books were meant to be read over and over again so that I can analyse the character, the setting, the tone blah blah blah.

I mean, I don't think I've read as many books as I used to (fanfiction doesn't count). Haha.

Yet today, I rediscovered the marvelous world of fiction =D. Borrowed this book from the college library and it's pretty good so far. It's called "The Last Concubine".

So yeah, yay for finding good books again. And I just bought two more books (The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest and Lord Sunday). Two books that I expect to be really good. Looks like I've found my reading drive again =).

mogul.

Over time, certain physical traits makes one's looks more appealing.

Like coloured eyes,

Okay, maybe not that colour but you get what I mean.

Or dimples,

Gaspard! =D


But what you didn't know is that having blue eyes or dimples are actually 'mutations'.

Having anything other than brown eyes means that there's been a mutation in your genes. Originally, all humans had brown eyes. But some thousand years ago, somebody's genes mutated and caused them to have blue eyes. Which technically means that everyone with blue eyes have a common ancestor.

Dimples on the other hand, is due to a variation in one of our facial muscles. Meaning that people with dimples have a muscle in their face that decided being like everyone else was boring and that changing it's structure would be fun.

sulfide.


Throughout history, only three movies have ever won all five major Academy Awards.

The five major awards are Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture as well as Best Screenplay(Adapted).

So clearly, the three movies that managed such a feat must be really good no?

Well, I have watched two of them and I must say they deserved the awards.



The Silence of the Lambs.

I just love Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter. Despite the fact that Dr. Lecter is some sociopath who likes to eat people, I must say he is really intelligent. That although he's stuck in a cell, it's like he still knows everything.


One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Really quite a funny movie. But the ending...
Sigh. You must watch it to get what I'm talking about.


The one movie left for me to watch is It Happened One Night. Strange how two of the three movies are sort of psychology related. And the other is a romantic comedy. Looks like action movies will never be great movies =P.

And only old movies achieved such things. Don't you realise that all the movies were made before 2000? The latest being 'The Silence of the Lambs" in 1991. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was released in 1975 and "It Happened One Night" being the oldest was released in 1934. Makes you wonder what on earth happened to the quality of the newer movies.

shrimp.

I'm sure most of you know about punctuation marks.

But here are two of the lesser known, more modern ones.



The interrobang.

Just by looking at it I think you should know what it's used for. Basically for when you wanna ask a question in an excited manner.


The sarcmark.

Short for sarcasm mark. Used to show that the sentence is meant to be sarcastic. Though if you're usually a sarcastic person there'd be no need to use this mark. People would already know that you're being sarcastic.

breacol.

Have you ever wondered what it'll be like to be kidnapped??

Well, apparently you can now pay to be kidnapped.

Quite cool no? This company in Detroit has been doing it since 2002.


Not only that, there is another company, in France though that does more than kidnapping. You can pay to be manhunted or a fugitive on the run. Those are their typical packages. But if you want more, you can spend the night in the morgue, attend your own funeral or get buried alive. Basically anything you want that will give you the adrenaline rush.



Would you try it? Cause I know I would if I have the spare cash.
