New Stuff

Edward and Envy~

For the anime fans out there, if you have been watching Gundam00, I'm sure you'd noticed the little spoiler of the upcoming new Fullmetal Alchemist (FMA) series! Ah rejoice all FMA fans out there, as the new anime would be a version much more similar to the original manga! =D

Well some would have wished... "I was really hoping for a continuation of the original anime... T_T I WANTED ED AND AL TO KICK HITLER'S A*S!! THAT WOULD BE EPIC!! EDWARD ELRIC VS. ADOLF HITLER XD!!"

At first I had the same opinion, but come to think of it since the story itself is already great and they're going to retell it with a little tweak.. So why not?? Check out the video below for the exciting teaser.

According to the video, the next issue of Shounen Gangan magazine promises to have further info concerning the new project — on sale December 12th.

And here's some nice pics to share (Please click to enlarge!)! :) Enjoy~

Revival Calls

It's been 3 days since my seemingly quick, 3-week holiday ended and I finally have the heart to update my blog. As I type this post, I hear some weird, creepy wailing of either a tortured animal or some crazed neighbor. And so we have the title above.. =P

I guess one of the main reasons I did not bother posting anything is because nothing much happened since my last update. Well actually there are a few, but just not enough to inspire me lol.. Now for a little flashback of what happened almost a month ago. Hm...

1st week, right after exams, I literally grew wings and fluttered with my buddies to Times Square for some fun. Unfortunately, the theme park experience was really nauseating, I am so bad in handling rides that spins you around like a top and swings your insides out. Then there was Quantum of Solace which proved rather... insignificant as I had even forgotten the plot. Huhu... Guess I compare the new Bond to Pierce Brosnan too much. (But hey, he's IS better!)

I guess there's just no competition here, tsk tsk...

As days passed after I parted with my uni friends, I started to get real lazy at home. But with a little effort, managed to paint part of the wall outside my house. Ironically, the difficulty of this work lies not in the area I have to paint, but mostly in trying to figure out which part of the wall is already covered with a new coat because I'm painting white over a white wall! @_@

My holiday continued with me spending some quality time with my brother over a computer game which we had been playing together (once in a while) since I was 14! Well, the game's good but main reason being it's the only multiplayer game we could enjoy playing with only 1 pc.

I recommend this if you like turn based strategy games and you don't care about graphics..

Then with more slacking and not-doing-anything-useful, it came to the third and final week of holidays. Oh, but before that, I got to catch my first experience of a live drama performance at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac). Thanks to Joshua and his friends, it was a well worth show, certainly no regrets =)

Crazy Little Thing Called Love.. Click here for more info! =D

In the beginning of the month I tried looking for a job, but sadly none wanted to hire a 3 week part-timer, sigh... However before my short lived freedom ended, Loreki organised a great mini-lan party at his luxury apartment as a final treat before he flies off to Japan for his holiday. And the good news is that we would have a second one as soon as he's back on the 14th! Daym, now I'm getting anxious! Hehe...

Ah yes, I've also come to love a few more great songs.. So instead of putting the whole song here like I did previously, here's a few videos you can view. If u like them then quickly go download or you could always get them from me =D

Final Fantasy - Gotta Be Somebody (Music by Nickelback) ~ Pity no official music video

Michael Buble' - Crazy Little Thing Called Love ~ Also pity no official music video

Hinder - Without You ~ Emo song sia... But also no official mv T.T

As for this week, lectures kinda just started today and as always I have interesting classes which have lecturers that are more interesting than their lectures. lulz.. Hey, what can be cooler than a cute bear teaching politics and having learn what other wonders a super glue can do in engineering! Hahaha...

Here's some food for thought...

Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations... Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident. Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, yet we feel utterly alone....

It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions...

And I definitely can't wait till this comes to our local cinemas!

So much for now, here's me signing off~

A Series of Not-So-Unfortunate Events

Much has happened since I last posted on what I've been going through. Stress is in the air with finals approaching, and now that my tests have just ended, it's just the beginning of a nightmare. Oh well, at least life wasn't too disappointing. Last week I celebrated my sister's birthday at home and when I arrived home after a torturing 2 hour jam in KL, the day's surprise was already on the table...

Mum's homemade "Pandan Layer Fruit Cake"!

I was like.. lol?.. Then my mum explained that since my sis already had two cakes the day before (that day was her belated birthday), so she came up with something special. Nice try mum! =P

Then on Saturday night I attended the 40th Anniversary Dinner of the Lions Club of KL Central held at the Royale Bintang Hotel, KL (near Times Square).

Stage backdrop..

The event was a success and me and my fellow Leo friends who helped out during the event celebrated together with the organizing Lions. We were treated to some whisky which gave me a total blood rush with my first sip. It was then I realised that I had it "on-the-rock" and the liquor was actually quite strong, making me feel a sudden rush of liquid in my head @_@

What we had during the pre-celebration..

Well I wasn't drunk but was later told that my face was flushed red when we exited the hotel. The night was still young, so me and my Leo friends were then brought to a near by pub/bar named Oasis where we had more liquor, mostly brought by one of the Lions. We talked loads of crap, played some drinking game, sang, had supper, etc.. and I finally reached home at 4am, woots.. So much for an adult hang-out experience I suppose. Then again I enjoyed the night and really thank them for it =)

When I was on my way back to campus, I came across some cute vehicles towing an interesting load as they paraded on the highway unexpectedly.

The Snickers Road Cruisers!

After that episode of unique advertisement, I reached campus and it was all about studying for my last test before the finals. Classes were few but still went on as lecturers tried to wrap up the syllabuses. The gang seemed more tense day by day, ah the sad-ness.. But during one of my classes I stumbled upon what seemed to be like the remnants of student rampage..

Pity the projector head to have suffered this cruel fate..

Due to that, we shifted class and continued lectures as usual. After that I proceeded to one of the hang out places (Techflow room) in my campus for a little revision in preparation for my test. Unfortunately, the disturb-bug got me and I started to.. disturb, hoho.. And here are my victims..

Jo-chan, who's feeling sleepy after lunch ^^"

Panda-san who just wouldn't let me have a proper picture, tsk tsk.. =S (had to use "burst mode" to get one picture that can be used out of ten!)

Studies continued as usual, and when my test was finally over yesterday, I found myself getting back to square one as I had to start preparing for the looming finals (which is next week T.T). So what can I say? I wish there's no exams, hohoho... Oh, how I wish, wish, wish~ Now let's proceed to this much anticipated part!

Randoms~

Yes, I've gotten some pretty cool and blog-worthy pictures along the way.. =D

Look, look! The spirit of Free Hugs still lives on!

Introducing my "si fu" when it comes to being a real man/friend, Yap-dono! And here you are lucky to witness him striking the Rejuvenating Pose! XD

Here is the Japanese Expert of the gang, Rey-sama who apparently was feeling shy so he had to put the shades on while expressing his cool hand gestures ^^

So what happens when everyone is so pressured with exams and feeling all down? Here's a few tips..

We try to comfort each other in anyway we can.. Aw..

Or you can send messages of inspiration/motivation like what I got here from Panda-san.. You're so "sweet"! Hahahahaha...

Or you can unleash your hidden powers by splitting yourself to the amount needed to reduce the stress, like what Alex is doing here! (three heads are better than one rite?)

And you can teach another to do the same just for lulz.. Here we have Ivor(s) trying out the Kage-Bunshin-no-Jutsu (Shadow Clones Technique)!

Or you can just sit on a comfy chair under the air-conditioning and just snooze away~

And last but not least, you can always resort to the easiest way to relieve yourself of troubled feelings or exam anxieties..

Just run to that great friend of yours, and he or she would always know how to make you smile (or LoL in this case) like how William tries to put that smile on your face! =3

As always, that's all for now.. Do enjoy your week and wish me luck for the coming exams.. Cheers and this is KeLv signing off~

I'm Leavin'

Jesse McCartney - Leavin'

Mmmm

So I'm gonna ask you one time if you got a man...

[Chorus]

So call him shawty and tell him you found a new man.

[Chorus]

Boy you got me singin'.

Another recommendation for your listening pleasure, also one of my new favorites when I finally figured out what the song's title is =P (At first I thought it was "No Stress", lulz)

From the comments that I read for the video above in youtube, quite a number mentioned that it's kinda "dirty" due to the amount of sex appeal. @_@ Well, I think it's ok lar.. western style? haha.. the babe's hot! ^^

Do enjoy!~ Signin' off for now...

Stranger than Fiction?

Not too long ago, I've treated myself to a movie that is rather inspiring...

Stranger than Fiction (2006)

Had it in my pc for quite some time and finally had the time to watch it. Can't believe I had actually neglected such an interesting movie, silly me. Well in a nutshell, the movie's about a man named Harold Crick who realizes his life is being literary written as he woke up one fine day. As an auditor, being a compulsive counter and an obsessive time-saver had never been more interesting when he begins to hear someone narrating his life to him. The show goes on until the writer decides to end the novel (featuring a Harold Crick) by killing him. Rather difficult to put it in words how that's going to happen, so I recommend you watching the movie. =)

What caught my attention is how the writer finds inspiration in the movie. She's portrayed as a person who needs to feel and see what she's about to write about. For example, when she needed to kill Harold Crick in her novel, she went to different situations, different heights in such that she could feel/see how it would be like to jump off a tall building. She puts herself in the shoes of the character she is killing off and imagines it before judging if the cruel fate she's deciding for the character made any sense or had any impact. What could be better than a beautiful death?

It seems that writing a good story/novel is not all about sitting in front of a type writer or a piece of paper and just write what ever that comes to your mind that's related to the story. Feeling what the story describes, experiencing it first hand.. It all made sense. For instance, how could one describe the rain in detail if he had never tried feeling the rain falling on him, it's pressure, drenching himself in it, feel it trickle down his body, listening to the harmony of water falling from the sky.. I mean, wow, to what extent did great writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, Jeffrey Archer, Dan Brown, etc.. ever go to tell their story with such depth I wonder. And the amount of credit that certain writers get seemed rather little despite the effort they put in their work.

I believe people these days are more absorbed into money making that they have been blinded to such amazement. Why do parents want their kids to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, dentists, businessmen, etc? Because they believe these are the kind of future that guarantees the cash coming in to support one's family/life. As the coming generations become more and more tied down to this sad fact, will the beauty of literature, art of poetry, masters of story-telling dwindle and eventually reach death due to ignorance as it doesn't make that much money? I'm certainly pained by this fact, more when I do not have the oppurtunity to pursue this field which seemed more meaningful to me.

Ah well, as an acquaintance of mine has once told me, you can't change anything by just saying it (or even writing about it for this matter). Actions speaks louder than words indeed. The journey I need to embark to be part of this love in the art of written works seems like fantasy (building castles in the air?) and rather unlikely when I'm done with my current studies for engineering. However, I do hope this would remind me what I've always wanted to do, and also plan to do (or at least always dreaming/thought of doing).. Wish me luck! =)

Now, back to more reading and watching (while being mesmerized/impressed in the process) like all of us do~

And It's Another Crush

Due to the negative feedbacks I've gotten for the photos in my previous post, here's a music videos that I personally enjoy and would like to share =D

Crush- David Archuleta

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

The song may sound kinda cheesy but I find it nice, in a way. The music video may not be that great (since I noticed David's appearance being too.. distracting), just appreciate the song!
And KeLv signs off while you do so~

P/S~> sien, changed the video so many times because youtube keeps removing the videos that i selected =(

And it's still HOT!!

Ah, it's Thursday! The weather may be toasty but it is the day when I have the least amount of classes, and today particularly became a better day when my morning class was canceled and the day's class started at 1p.m. Huhu.. Anyways, had a nice home-movie session just now, thanks to Jo as she passed me the highly anticipated movie to me conveniently via her thumbdrive. And behold what kept me waiting for almost a year..

Bleach the Movie: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Another Hyōrinmaru (劇場版BLEACH The DiamondDust Rebellion もう一つの氷輪丸, Gekijōban Burīchi Za Daiyamondo Dasuto Reberion Mō Hitotsu no Hyōrinmaru)

Yes, it's finally subbed! And it was definitely worth the wait since I rate the movie to be as good as Memories of Nobody, maybe even better. But I guess even though this movie lacks new characters, it is still equally good compared to the first movie due to it's interesting new plot in the Bleach storyline. Here's more pics of what you can expect.. (SPOILERS ALERT!)

The Gotei 13 (護廷十三隊, goteijūsantai) and Ichigo unites to stop chaos once again! (yes, cheesy indeed.. =P)

Oh, oh! New arrancars? Vaizards? Hm..

Snippets of the movie, which makes a good wallpaper! =D

And so, after the "drought of good movies" that I had faced for months (which cost me a lot since I had been watching lots of rubbish in the cinemas lately), this movies just made my day, lulz..

Nicely drawn characters, lush color, careful plots and action-packed-not-too-predictable climax! Really, what else can you ask for.. But of course I may be judging from a Bleach fan's point of view, still it doesn't mean I rate all of Bleach's production to be good. For instance, Memories in the Rain, despite being only an OVA, was crappy and really sucked big time in my honest opinion as it was so draggy and involved too much flashbacks. The Sealed Sword Frenzy was okay I guess, so.. yea overall I'm not being biased just because it's a Bleach movie =)

As a bonus, here's what I came across as I googled for the pictures above..

A little creativity and imagination gives you a good depiction of what happens if Ichigo turns evil and Bleach world faces total destruction ^^

Last but not least, here's another great news as the trailer for the next Bleach movie is out! Though it's not much but at least we can expect something coming our way!

Bleach the Movie: Fade to Black (coming soon!)

Woots, I believe that's enough Bleach for me at the moment. Will try to update on any info on it that I may stumble upon as I surf around.

Apparently, the only thing that is spoiling my mood now is the crazy weather. It's really hot even at night! Come on, the sun is not even UP! Sigh, either that or the rain pours as if the whole town's going to be flooded! @@

Oh well, what can an insignificant human like me do? Ponder, I shall.. Till then, KeLv signs off again~

When Innocence Gets Corrupted

Thanks to Loreki for the video link, when I first watched it, I can really ROFL and LMAO eventhough I was stressing some other thing (some assignment which I don't bother thinking about it anymore..)

Please do enjoy the videos below...

DeathSponge NotePants!

The credit of the following video goes to Jeremy Loh! (thanks for the amazing discovery! XD)

The Indian Nipple Song! [(U):For viewers of all ages/Untuk tontonan umum, sesuai untuk semua lapisan masyarakat]

And also a big thank you to YouTube and the makers of the video for the great Laugh-Out-Loud session (that I'm sure you're going to have after watching the videos)
If somehow you can't even let out a giggle from the videos above, you seriously need a doctor!

Thus, KeLv continues his "signing off"~
