doe.


Sure the series might actually have ended 4 years ago but since there were still the movies it didn't really hit me that it all comes to an end.

By far the best of all the movies, Deathly Hallows Part 2 did not disappoint at all. Maybe it's cause it's the last movie so there are a lot more emotions involved that the few missing parts don't really matter.

I am one who gets very engrossed in a fictional world. So can you imagine how attached I am to the Harry Potter series?

7 books. 8 movies. A million fanfiction stories and fanvids. Couple of RPG sites.

Such a big part of my life. My little retreat out of reality. 

There's still pottermore and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to look forward to! A small consolation.

wizard.

Kinda lazy to blog now a days. Not sure why. I think cause it actually requires brain power to sit down and type stuff out that will actually make sense to people and not just me. Haha.

Slight update on my Aussie trip. More for memory's sake so that when I grow old I'd be able to read through this blog and remember all the things I got up to.

11 days in Australia was BEYOND tiring. As in I don't think I've ever been so sleep deprived.

Melbourne was only a few of us so it wasn't so bad. We still went to bed at a decent-ish hour (anything before 3 is decent when you put a bunch of friends together) and woke up before noon. Yays! Didn't really do much in Melbourne city as had two mini 'roadtrips' driving off to Dandenong and Mornington Peninsula. It was definitely the more relaxed part of the trip.

Did manage to catch sight of two penguins fighting at St. Kilda's. Soooo cute. One was chasing the other the whole time and it was a 'catfight' but penguin style. Totally looked like a lover's quarrel.

Then came Sydney. Here our group doubled in size. Basically there were like 11 of us walking around together. Everything we did took more time than expected. Even crossing the street we'd have to wait a while cause the light would turn red and half our group would still be on the other side of the road. Dad said we were like a walking Chinatown.

Two days in a row we woke up before the sunrise. Crazy no? Once was to go to the fish market where I had fresh sashimi, oysters and lobsters for a really decent price. It was yummyyyyy. The other was to go up to Blue Mountains. I swear everyone was just running on caffeine those days.

All in all it was a really good trip =). It's been a while since the bunch of us have hung out together.

But I don't think I'd be up for another one so soon. Those 11 days really drained me.

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Run as you might from your past

It's never actually far behind

One day it will catch up

When you are spiraling, you know that, eventually, you want to lead a good and fulfilling life, but you also need a break from the good and the fulfilling to chase the rush that comes with abandoning responsibility and letting your hedonistic side consume you.

add.

One place I definitely want to visit is

Colmar, France. 

For no other reason other than it's pretty.

If you've watched Howl's Moving Castle, a lot of the design was based off this place.

It's also known as Little Venice cause of the canals.



Seems so unreal. But I suppose the French are good at keeping things beautiful.

autumn.

Current favourite song is a Korean one.

Not that I'm into Kpop again. Just that this song is so freaking nice. And emo. Yes I like emo songs.



On Rainy Days by B2ST. 
That's pronounced beast.

Basically the songs bout how the guy is emo-ing on a rainy day. Constantly thinking of the girl that he used to be with.

It has got me thinking though. If a guy is truly in love with a girl and they part. Will he only think of her when the weather is gloomy? I know rainy weather is like the perfect moment to emo. But if you really did love her shouldn't you be thinking of her even when it's sunny? Even more perhaps. That when there is perfect weather you'd think of her cause you wanna share such a perfect moment with her.

Maybe it's just me overthinking as usual.

lolita.



Honestly I'm not a fan of IU. Only reason I knew who she was is cause she did that duet with Seulong from 2AM.

But I have to say this song is really sad. Not to mention the video is slightly eerie since it's set in a mental hospital.

There was a slight controversy when it was released though. Since the guy that she's in love with is clearly an older man, it appeared that she was in love with her father. Especially with that little snippet in the beginning where the nurse? says that it was her father who died.

Meh. To me it was obvious that she was just in love with an older guy.

Age is just a number anyway.

whirlwind.

Perhaps an important question to be asked in a relationship is

"What is your dream?"

Typically I'd think most answers to be related to work. Like how successful they want to be. What they intend to buy with the money they make from work.

Is it any surprise that most relationships don't work out then? If you are not each other's number one priority, of course not everything is going to go well. Cause even if you break up, you still have your dream. And since your dream does not require a relationship, no harm in letting it go right?

Or maybe you'd be better off not knowing.




P.S Learned this from a Jdrama. Hana Yori Dango =D!

camera.

Just finished watching


Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac.

I quite liked it. It's about this girl who loses her memory of the past four years. And so since it's a love story the main focus is about her trying to remember who she loves. Pretty predictable but it's easy to watch and really sweet at some points.

You know you've been watching too many Japanese shows when you recognise the three main characters from other plaes. Kenichi Matsuyama being L from Death Note. Maki Horikita is Chisato from Atashinchi no Danshi. And finally Yuya Tegoshi is from the boygroup NEWS. Haha. But I'm going off track.

The movie shows how since the main character forgot the past four years, it is up to the people around her to remind her of who she is. What she used to like, who she used to like and all that. But if this happened in real life, there would be almost no need to take the words of others. Maybe not applicable to everyone. But if let's say I lost my memory, all I'd have to do is read by blog. Or go through Facebook a little.

And then tadahhh! The past is all so nicely documented for me. 

What would we do without the Internet =).

odd.

WOMAN
When she is 18 - She is a football, 22 men going after her.... 
When she is 28 - She is a hockey ball, 8 men going after her.
When she is 38 - She is a golf ball, 1 man hitting on her. 
When she is 48 - She is a pingpong ball, 2 men pushing to each other.

MAN
At 20 - A man is like a coconut, so much to offer, so little to give. 
At 30 - He is like a durian, dangerous but delicious.
At 40 - He is like a watermelon, big, round and juicy.
At 50 - He is like a mandarin orange, the season comes once a year.
At 60 - He is just like a raisin, dried out, wrinkles and cheap.




Hahahahaha. The truth of life. 


Found in sports and fruits.

pea.





Her skin is white cloth,
and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.



She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.



But she knows she has a curse on her,
a curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
too close to her,

the pins stick farther in.



Taken from 

Tim Burton's: The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy.

Pretty weird and twisted stuff. But then again, what more could you expect from Tim Burton.

sans.


How far technology has come. 

From times when connecting to the Internet required a cable making weird sounds to wireless Internet just about anywhere.

From phones that had no camera no colour no games other than memory and snake to touch screen phones with more features than you can use.

From silent movies in black and white to movies with too many special effects in 3D.

How far will technology go?

Sore feet. Bruised hip. Sweating like crazy.

RM70 in my pocket. Awesomest performance! for free!!

What else could it be but



Got asked to do ushering for Michael Buble's concert. Figured it'd be worth going since I wouldn't pay so much for a ticket otherwise.

The job may have been tougher than I expected with the combination of rain and frustrated people and lack of air conditioning. Nonetheless, his performance made up for it.

His voice is AMAZING!! He sounds exactly like the recording. Like, how is that possible? Real talent.

Not only is his voice soooooo good. He is a pretty good entertainer. The jokes he cracked were a combination of funny and sarcasm. Which I think is the best combination. So charismatic. Considering I'd always just pegged him as just a voice. Like he said, he doesn't do concerts. He holds parties =D.

And boy was it a party. He got the entire stadium to stand up and sing and dance along with him. Despite the fact that many of them were like my parents age, they were sporting enough to go along.

Can't say I'd rush to do ushering for other concerts. But if all singers in concert are as good as Michael Buble, count me it.

pseudo.

The Japanese are seriously a strange bunch of people.

It's like "How exactly do their minds work?".

First they come up with movies like "Strange Circus".

Even the poster creeps me out.

Can't exactly tell you what it's about. But if you thought Inception played with your mind, you have not watched Strange Circus. Not only does it play mind tricks, it has loads of other elements that make it a bit difficult to watch. You definitely need a strong stomach for it. Nonetheless, it was a pretty good movie.

Next they come up with something called the "Menstruation Machine".



So for all the guys who don't understand why girls whine about the pain and uncomfortableness of having their period, this is for you.

It basically simulates a typical 5 day cycle. With all the blood and cramps. While it may not compare to actually having your period, I'd say it'd at least give guys a good gauge of what we have to go through.

so.


After a while, everything is on loop.

No matter how far you try to run, you always end up right back where you started.

post.


Haha. How true.

For some reason, there's always a greater sense of accomplishment when you finish your work at the 11th hour. 

A greater adrenaline rush that makes you work faster.

Let's say if you had started on the assignment a week ago, and you would be spend an hour on it everyday. In a week, you would have spent 7 hours. But if you only start the assignment a day or two before the due date, I bet the time can be cut in half. 

Sense of urgency will force you to work faster and avoid distractions. 

Not that I'm encouraging last minute work.

But just saying.

instant.



Everything in life boils down to the choices you make.

As cliched as it may sound, there is no better way to put it.

While we try to make the good or right choice all the time, there will be times when you make the wrong one. I wonder though, how many of us unknowingly made it? Cause I know for me, there are instances where I know for a fact that the decision I'm going to make is not quite the right one.

But I make it anyway.

Why?

Just so I can know what it was like. I mean, if I made the right choices all the time, life would be pretty boring I think. And it's these mistakes that make a story worth telling ;). 

Though I'm careful to avoid any wrong decisions that could forever screw up my life.

could.

Life is sort of back to normal now I suppose.

Though really. What is normal?

Is it the 3 months of being bored out of my mind. Doing nothing but going to uni. Coming home and wasting time.

Or.

The last 3 months of being out almost every night. Till 4 in the morning. 

Hmmm. We'll see just how much has changed.

February 14.

Valentine's Day.

Single Awareness Day.

I used to think it was overrated and that couples were just wasting their time paying extra for food and chocolate and flowers.

But now I think it's a nice way for couples to do make an extra effort to inject some romance back into their lives. Not that the other 365 days of the year should be devoid of romantic gestures. Just that with the world moving at such a fast pace, it's difficult to do all the lovey-dovey things often. Like buying presents for each other. Having a candlelight dinner. Just spending time with each other.

shift.

Chinese New Year is spent the same way every year.

In Ipoh.

Eating. 

When I was younger, I loved going to Ipoh. Cause my grandparents would always take me out to the bookshop and then for ice-cream. What better combination could there be right?

But now it's the other way round. In KL I get to go out a lot. Ipoh is mostly family time. I suppose I could go out but I'm kinda lazy to answer any questions that might pop up. And the weather there is soooooo hot. All I wanna do is sit under the fan/air-cond and read my book.

And so marks the end of my holiday.

Starting uni tomorrow =(.

battle.

This song is sooooo stuck in my head.



All About Him by Auburn.


Even though I don't agree with the lyrics. I mean, just cause you're in a relationship is no reason to ignore everybody else. Relationships don't last forever you know. When you're finally broken up, you find that you've alienated your friends and have no one to talk to.

The song is kinda cute though. I love the part in the video where the two kids trade crayons! =D

Just too cute not to post up =D.


The Boy Who Lived. 


Follow the yellow brick road. 


You shall not pass!!

These are all actually figurines hand made out of polymer clay. Can't imagine the patience needed to make just one. You can buy them though it is a bit pricey. About $10-$20. And yes that's in US dollars. 

*superfacepunch by lubu* is where you can order it.

bite.

Everybody dreams.

Whether you remember your dreams is however a different issue.

If you do, do you believe that your dreams have meaning? I'm sure every single thing that appeared in your dream was there for a reason but do you think it's possible to make a general guess of the meaning with the help of a dream dictionary? Or do the same things in different people's dreams carry different meanings depending on the individual.

For example if you dreamt of fish,


To see fish swimming in your dream, signifies insights from your unconscious mind. Thus to catch a fish, represents insights which have been brought to the surface. Alternatively, a fish swimming in your dream may symbolize conception. Some women dream of swimming fish when they get pregnant. The fish is also an ancient symbol of Christianity and Christian beliefs. Consider the common phrases "like a cold fish", "fish out of water" or something that is "fishy" about a situation. It may also imply a slippery or elusive situation. Perhaps your dream could be telling you that "there are plenty of other fish in the sea", with regards to some relationship issue.

To dream that you are eating fish, symbolizes your beliefs, spirituality, luck, energy and nourishment. It is food for the soul.

To dream of cooking fish, indicates that you are incorporating your new realizations with your spiritual feelings and knowledge.  

To dream that you are cleaning fish, suggests that you are altering  your emotional expression in a way that will be presentable to others. You are censoring yourself and not expressing how you completely feel.



Interesting right?

I wish someone would interpret my dreams for me.
