Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective for DS Review

2012-02-06T17:44:00.001+08:00

I came across this game when I'm a bit bored of the games I had in my NDS. I never expect for the download to complete despite of my lousy connection... but hey, since I managed to download it, of course I'll try it out !

#Box art of the game.#

#Back cover of the game.#

Well, the game starts with a ...

#... basically this is the first thing you'll see when you start the game.#

Story:

Yes, the story of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective by Capcom starts with a death, YOUR death to be precise. You found yourself dead and a redheaded girl shot dead by an assassin. Weirdest thing happened when a red desk lamp named Ray started to talk to you about how special you are as a spirit with powers. The red desk lamp guided you to use your power of the dead to possess and manipulate inanimate objects, travel through telephone lines and advert the fate of the dead by rewinding to 4 minutes before that person's death.

#Possessing items to travel around the map. While you're in the Ghost World, the time stopped and when you're back in the real world, the time flows again and you can perform a trick on the item that you currently possessed.#

#When this appears, you gotta act quick to save the dead before the timer runs out.#

#Selecting destination by travelling through telephone lines !#

An important note that the red desk lamp said is: you have one night before dawn to discover the truth behind your death and recover your lost memories about yourself.

In the progress of the game, you realized your name is Sissel, a yellow-banana-headed guy with cool shades and red coat. You partnered with the redheaded girl (who turns out to be a rookie detective looking on to a closed case dated back to 5 years ago) Lynne to solve both the case and your own mystery.

#He's so cooooool !#

#Lynne, a rookie detective ~~who died 5 times in the game~~. Lol~~#

Review:

If you think that this game is all about solving crimes and saving the dead by rewinding 4 minutes before their death, then you're terribly wrong. The whole game is about discovering the truth of the closed case 5 years ago, the mistake that takes place 10 years ago and the mystery identity of the main character itself.

Detective games are not my specialty, but the plot twist for this game was developed very carefully so that you're going to discover mysteries by solving another mystery. The ending of the game is really unexpected, but I could say that it is a happy ending.

The gameplay is awesome. Sometimes the game might makes you scratch your head hard just to move from a location to another location because of the distance limit you can travel. And by making use of all the objects that could be animated and the sequence you animate them, you can create a new path to travel or even change the fate of the dead.

Although the game environments are 2D, but the characters are moving in quite a 3D fashion. To tell the truth, the game has a smooth animation, which I liked it a lot. Just take a look at this picture to see it for yourself.

#By the way, this is Detective Cabanela, a weird detective that secretly investigating on a case dated back to 10 years ago.#

The game has been released for the iOS few days ago, check the iOS trailer for the game below !

If you allow me to choose, I would like this trailer more as it contains a lot of memorable quotes by the characters.

I rate this game 8 our of 10, since it still can improve by adding 3D animated cutscenes in the game. I dont think there'll be a Ghost Trick 2, but if that really comes out, I hope to see a few crossovers between the characters.

Merry Christmas !!!

2011-12-25T02:31:00.000+08:00

This is the fourth year I'm celebrating Christmas as a university student, and it is the most lonely one that I ever had in these four years.

I could still recall back the first ever Christmas that I celebrated with my fellow TE 4-rians. The whole class decided to buy ourselves a Santa hat and wear it to lecture for a day and the job of buying the hats was completed by few of the TE 4-rians. On Christmas eve, we wore it in the campus and greet our lecturers Merry Christmas. And then, we also made ourselves dragon fruit and honeydew flavored glutinous rice ball to celebrate winter solstice.

#Last chemistry practical session with Ms. Leong on Christmas eve.#

#Public Speaking presentation day.#

#And finally, we celebrate Christmas by making glutinous rice balls.#

During year 1, I celebrated it with just a few of the TE 4-rians because it is already semester break and most of them went back hometown for holidays. And since the winter solstice is around the corner of Christmas, we celebrated both of the festival together.

#We celebrated the Winter Solstice with different shapes of glutinous rice ball...#

#... and a exciting brick game !#

#And together we celebrated Christmas with a true or dare game as well !#

Well... Christmas crushed with our internship during year 2, so what we did was sending greetings to each other only. But I had some fun time with my internship colleagues from UCSI during the month of Christmas.

#Me and Yen Yee with all the UCSI colleagues at the office hallway.#

And this year, the last and final year I'm in UTAR... I celebrated it with my fellow colleagues from my working place. We did a countdown and greet each other Merry Christmas loudly after we closed the restaurant. And when I got back home, I found that the peanut plant flowered ! I'm not sure what does this means... a flower on Christmas... but I hope that it bring good deeds to me.

May the God bless everyone with love and joy in this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!! Here by sharing a song to all of you. =D

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I give it to someone special

流星雨

2011-12-14T03:12:00.000+08:00

一开始，乌云密布。

过后就，明月高照。

再后来，满天星星。

看来这次的双子流星雨都是没办法看得见的了。

平时半夜没有什么人的篮球场突然变得很热闹去，原因也就只有一个：流星雨。从我三年级开始我就对天文奇观有兴趣，也很希望自己真正可以亲眼看见流星雨、日食、月食之类的东西。

前两天的月食，听说是这些年来最长、也是我们马来西亚最难的可以看见的一个月食。很可惜的是这个天文奇观被一个下雨天的晚上毁了。雨后的夜晚乌云很多，我能看见的除了是一堆暗红色的云朵以外，什么都没有了。

今天也不例外，美丽的夜晚又被下雨天摧毁了。约好了朋友一起去看，结果看了好久也只看见了乌云、一轮明月和满天星。

看不见流星，许不成愿望。。。

Nuts !!!

2011-11-29T13:07:00.000+08:00

Its driving me NUTS, I never thought that the peanut that I received from Sensei-sama grows that fast !!! Well... I think is illegal to ask for a peanut from her for my personal gain ~~since those peanuts are her FYP samples in plant tissue culture~~. But anyway, as long as her supervisor didnt find out, I guess it should be fine.

Here's the picture of the peanut plant on the 3rd day:

#You can already notice how thick is the stem connecting to the roots, I guess it's already that thick since the second day I planted it.#

When I saw that it has sprouted some young leaves, I played some songs for the peanut for the rest of the day. And what surprised me on the 4th day morning (today) is, I never realized that it has grown soooooo much !!!

#Its has grown taller for at least 2 times since yesterday !!! No wonder Sensei said that she was shocked by the growth rate.#

Gotta continue on monitoring its growth from now on. I wonder what should I be doing once it is too large for the pot that it is growing from... save that for the future then.

Recent Updates

2011-11-27T01:32:00.001+08:00

Its been weeks since my last update... let me list down what I've been through in those days:

- Having big problems with the Internet connection lately, there is no doubt that someone is manipulating the connection or heavily downloading/streaming movies. I hate it everytime when I wanna use it for assignment/report, it get sucks. Feels like smashing the modem so the whole house couldnt go online. *Rawr~~~~~*

- You might noticed it already, UTAR COU just had their second concert last month, coverage of the concert can be found here. We also had a celebration dinner 2 weeks afterwards with a concert DVD given to those who're attending as a mystery appreciation gift. I received a copy myself but couldnt watch it using my old laptop. *Sob sob* Anyway, I had a nice meal on that day, and I filled my stomach till it almost exploded !

#Some of the memorable happenings compiled together by one of our concert committee member. Thank you for the beautiful work.#

#Celebration dinner at Grand Kampar Hotel Chinese Restaurant. Can you spot 2 hidden Mickey ?#

#Seriously... the cloth used to decorate the pillar was comfortable when hugged. Lol~#

#What is a celebration dinner without a big group photo ?#

#We just couldnt stop ourselves from taking pictures on that day... even with our hoods on ! And yes, there's 1 more hidden Mickey here too.#

- Lectures are as boring as ever... but it is a different story for FYP ! Seeing my apple samples are giving positive results for the antioxidant assays I did on them motivates me to continue on. The only problem I encounter is time and amount of solvent left. Hope that I can finish everything soon.

- Oh yes... I did quite some cooking with Rannie-chan and Freezie-chan as well ! We cooked ourselves dinner a week before semester starts and constantly having a cooking session once every 2 weeks on glutinous rice ball dessert, fried bread and sushi.

#This is one-of-a-hell big piece of maki filled with cucumber, carrot, tuna spread, crab stick and sausage.#

- Working seems like enjoying lately, though we still need to be serious when ~~the big bosses are around~~ it is busy time. Me and Harley-san celebrated our beloved colleague's birthday last Saturday with a chocolate cake. Announcement: December monthly promotion coupons are coming real soon !!!

#Obsessed in working until taking picture with the cake AND the tray. LOL~#

#Oh yeah... making leaf-shaped wasabi is my specialty now ~~since almost everyone is afraid of the smell~~. Credits to Harley-san for the picture.#

I guess thats all of it unless you wanna count "course registration sucks with turtle-slow connection" and "NDS game Professor Layton series are addicting". Here's a lovely and relaxing song I found today by Hebe of Taiwanese female pop artist S.H.E. to end this post. Enjoy~

金宝拉曼大学华乐团荣誉呈献第二届演奏会：《旋萦之夜》

2011-10-31T00:41:00.001+08:00

筹备了好久的演奏会终于在昨天顺利的举办了！虽然自己不是筹委员之一，但是也可以感受得到他们的泪水汗水是没有白白奉献出来的。

这次的演奏会比去年多了些独奏的曲子：柳琴独奏《冬猎》、琵琶独奏《天山之春》、古筝独奏《临安遗恨》和唢呐独奏《山村来了售货员》。个别乐器也演奏了许多的曲子：笛子重奏《八月桂花遍地开》、二胡齐奏《美国往事随想曲》及丝弦五重奏《彩云追月》。

除此之外合奏的曲子也很丰富：《玻利维亚舞曲》、《达姆达姆》、《旱天雷》、《凤阳花鼓》、《小曲联奏：千王之王、铁血丹心和上海滩》、《金蛇狂舞》及 encore 曲子《男儿当自强》。其中《金蛇狂舞》这首曲子敲击组还特别配合指挥的要求用了几个晚上编写了新的敲击谱，可以说那首曲子是唯独我们拉大华乐团的。

当晚另一个特别节目是小组合奏女子十二乐坊的《奇迹》。如果不是音响系统管理的不好，这首曲子将会是上半场最精彩的节目了！而下半场的重头戏是古筝独奏《临安遗恨》和《金蛇狂舞》。

#被吩咐去准备了，但是我们还是忘不了拍张照片留念。#

#可爱的笛子组死党~~#

#帅气的指挥与笛子组！#

#当晚演奏者的制服：白衣黑裤黑鞋 + 红色配件。#

#笛子重奏《八月桂花遍地开》。#

#我没有在发呆，我是在很用心的看着指挥！#

这场演奏会不但带来了许多热爱华乐的学生，也吸引了阿公阿嫲们来观赏。许多媒体和摄影师也前来观赏这次的演奏会，整个演奏会只看见他们很用心的、不顾一切的为我们拍照。其中一位媒体还跑到我们敲击组后面站着椅子就是为了拍下我们指挥帅气的面孔。

多数看过我们上届演奏会的都说这届比较精彩，也说有进步了；也有些前华乐团的人说我们有些错误和走音的地方，显示到他们都很用心在听整场演奏。听说很多人都喜欢古筝独奏的曲子，可能是因为有钢琴伴奏，显示到整个曲子很特别吧？

#我们华乐团前指挥兼 Kai Ma (干妈)！#

#当晚的 helper 之一。#

#《临安遗恨》的古筝独奏者刘建缗。#

#Foundation TE 4 的好朋友们也前来支持我们演奏会！真的很谢谢他们来捧场。#

#吹管组大合照！#

许多已经毕业了的华乐团学哥学姐们都特地抽空回来支持我们，我还真的很感动。看见我们的前指挥来捧场，我开心到飞过出为了就是一张合照。

演奏会就这样结束了，我还真的有点不舍得。是应该回到认真读书的时候了...

谢谢华乐团。

谢谢演奏会筹委会。

谢谢在幕后努力的工作人员。

谢谢在幕前演奏的每一位演奏者。

谢谢前来帮忙演奏的嘉宾们。

谢谢在场支持的每一位观众。
谢谢在场帮我们拍照的摄影师。

谢谢来支持我们的好朋友。

谢谢 VIP 吃剩下来的茶点。

谢谢当天的晚餐。

谢谢美丽的入场卷。

谢谢漂亮的 booklet。

谢谢爱的鼓励。

谢谢我的笛子老师。

也谢谢我的敲击师父。

谢谢 Kai Ma。

谢谢指挥。

FYP gonna start real soon, and I'm still lagging behind of my schedule. I really didnt know what should I do after I done my extraction... to be precise, I havent done anything related to the methodology yet, I'm not even sure what kind of result will I be getting.

Life isnt as easy as you think. Seeing my fellow friends working on their gingers, bacteria and agar plates gave me an idea that FYP is going to be fun. We're all doing our own research all by ourselves with guidance from our supervisor. Once the whole thing was complete, we're writing our very own thesis for the experiment that we conducted, which might be handy one day in the future.

Anyway, I'm really lazy here. What I really wanna do is just lying on my bed hugging my pillow and nothing else... with some musics playing on my computer as company would be nice of course.

By the way, here's a song performed by Nana Mizuki titled Junketsu Paradox, which is the ending theme of the anime Blood-C, a collaboration project between Production IG and CLAMP. There's a Blood-C movie coming up in June 2012 too.

#Poster for the anime with the main character Saya and her sword.#

Here's the song that I've talked about, be warned that this is not the full song.

Enjoy~

等待，期待

2011-09-11T20:43:00.000+08:00

等待，是辛苦的。昨晚放工后与同事们为了吃 McD Family Dinner Box，竟然吃到忘我境界，下起大雨来也不醒人事。最后我们在 McD 避雨... 就这样呆了有近四个小时才回到家。避雨当时我们真的很闷，也聊到没有东西可以再聊了。说真的，我们真的还差一点就可以吃了 McD 早餐后再走人叻。

#这个 Dinner Box 是四-五人份的，但是我们四个人就把它给搞定了。#

期待，是幸福的。那当然，你必须知道你所期待的东西一定要你自己喜爱的。如果你是在期待着一个你不喜欢的东西（打个比方：快要考试了！），即使它来临了你都不会觉得高兴。

我啊，正期待着重逢的那一天。 =3

我啃书去咯，我不想被你说中“考不到好成绩然后抱着你哭诉”。

月饼！ ^____^

2011-09-07T00:03:00.001+08:00

自问：我已经有几千年没有看过一盒月饼了？

当我手上接过那盒月饼时，心里是喜悦的，

毕竟家里已经很久没有买过月饼了，就算有也是比较普通的月饼。

#大同月饼！ ^__^ #

打开这个很传统的铁盒子，里面摆着 4 个不同口味的月饼。

#除了我喜爱的豆沙口味，还有 3 个奇奇怪怪口味的月饼。#

其实我真的有点舍不得把它们给吃掉...

Anyway，中秋快要到了，

祝各位在考试朋友们考试愉快、中秋节愉快！

Happy National Day Malaysia !!!

2011-09-01T16:31:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Malaysia's national day, and I remembered that few years back while I'm still addicted to MapleSEA, all the players greet each other and jumping around with the event exclusive Malaysia/Singapore flag weapon. Its been so long now, I'm still keeping it in my inventory as a memory of the happy times while I'm Mapling with my friends.

#Found another female player wielding the same flag weapon inside an event map last year.#

Well... national day doesnt seems to be any meaningful again ever since graduating from secondary school. I still remember that our school will be having a big celebration with speech, drama, music, choir, performance, dance and competition that last for the whole August.

Since the whole Kampar is in the study mood now ~~as the final exams are drawing near~~ as Raya holidays approaches, everywhere I look seems to be quiet and empty.

I guess I'll need to go and have a quick ~~Pokemon game~~ study before I take my nap now.

#Happy National Day Malaysia, may Peace always be with you.#

Precious - 伊藤由奈 (Yuna Ito)

2011-08-27T00:43:00.000+08:00

Been listening to this song since the beginning of August. I guess I'm really got poisoned by my working place because they tends to repeat the songs played in the restaurant quite often, and I even think that I can recognize a single song change in the playlist although I do not know of the song names...

Anyway, click on the video and listen to Yuna Ito ~~again~~ performing the song Precious live. As far as I'm informed, they're 2 version of the song: a normal version and a wedding-extension-or-whatever-it-is version, which is more longer and sounds more peaceful and lovely. And of course, the one in the video doesnt belong to these 2 versions.

Lycics can be found below as usual... its so good to have both hiragana and romanji lyrics together, coz it helps to learn the pronunciation of the kanji.

Pst pst .... it just so happen that when I was working today, the playlist shuffled out this song and Endless Story, and I was mumbling the lyrics while taking orders !!! XD Hope to listen to both of them again tomorrow then. Nights peep~

Working + Song Sharing

2011-08-20T21:53:00.002+08:00

Its been more than a month since I'm working as a part-timer now. Although I'm only working on weekends with little working hours, but still I found it fun hanging around with the staffs there. Besides, having chances to meet with friends that so happen to be having meals here makes my day even better.

#Kawaii cat statue placed in front of the cashier.#

#One of my part-time colleague that usually works on the same time slot with me.#

#My first salary given by the manager in the envelope !!!#

Yeah... I know its almost been ONE whole month that I didnt update my blog. I'm just being lazy to update anything, since most of them are small stuffs... but hey, I did celebrated my birthday on my working day. It isnt a big celebration, but at least we had cakes, candles and presents. Gotta have another post to update that again sometime.

Anyway, I've been addicted to some of the songs in the working place lately. I managed to get enough information to find them myself on YouTube and would like to share it to you all here.

The song is Endless Story performed by Yuna Ito, it is one of the songs that can be found in Nana the live action movie of the anime/manga with the same title. Lyrics in both hiragana and romanji can be found below. Enjoy~~

回忆录：悲伤篇

2011-07-25T01:20:00.001+08:00

已经快一个星期嘴唇那里生了两个 ulcer，也就在这一个星期里我只是吃着很淡很软的东西而已，要把稍微带点硬的东西放进嘴里咬都会成为问题。不要说吃，就连喝水说话都成了一个问题。因为吃东西困难，所以这几天里我都有在煲一小锅粥自己吃，今晚也不例外。

#香香热热喷喷的粥，陪伴着我，过着寂寞的夜晚。#

盛在碗里准备要吃时，我回想了好久好久好久以前一个女人曾经告诉过我的一句话：吃粥时要先拿在碗边的吃，因为那里的粥比较快冷... 很自然的我就拿起汤匙刮了在碗边的粥就放进嘴里啃了。吃着吃着，我对这个女人的回忆渐渐地浮现出来。

还记得是她教我分辨她与我爸爸的名字、

是她教我折衣服折给弟妹穿的尿布、

是她帮我洗澡换衣裤、

是她与我一起分享同一支巧克力口味 Drumstick 冰淇淋、

是她教会我最基础的经济学...

但也是她经常拿藤鞭打我骂我、

是她把我锁在家门外让我独自一个人哭、

是她把我心爱的小泰迪熊一把剪刀剪成碎片、

是她经常破坏我们家庭感情、

是她害到我家庭分裂、害到我们兄妹失去一个母亲的女人。

中学时还记得有一次填写表格时填到“孤儿”那一栏时，我犹豫了很久“我算不算是孤儿”的问题。最后被我婆婆哄了一声说：你还有你爸爸的啦，只是不懂他跑到哪里去做什么工而已啦！你要记得你死鬼老母是丢下你们跑掉的，不是死掉的，你不是孤儿！

我也很记得小时候我婆婆对我的话：如果那个扫把星回来要认你们，你们一定要拿尿拿大便来淋她！是她一句话都不说就这样丢下你们跑掉的，是她经常搞破坏的，你们不可以认回那个扫把星做妈妈！我不曾想过要去找这个女人，因为是她破坏我家庭在先，抛弃我们在后。所以如果她真的找上门来，我真的会把她给赶走。

偶尔在旧相簿里看到那女人的照片，我发现我已经不认得她了。想起婆婆朋友们以前常说的那句“你大孙的样子真的很像他那死鬼老母叻，尤其是那眼睛还有耳朵”，让我发现我们俩的确是有几分相似。

因为从小就这样带着坚强生活下来了，所以即使生命里少了那个女人好像也可以无所谓似的。去到朋友家看见他们有个完整的家庭，总让我感觉很奇怪，可能是因为太久没有接触过“家庭温暖”这东西了。虽然已经习惯会被他们父母问起家庭的问题，也习惯用同一个回答方式，但是每次回答时还是会犹豫一会儿才把它给说出来。他们一旦知道自己问错问题了就开始向我道歉。我没有怪他们，毕竟他们都是好奇他们孩子的朋友才会问问而已，我能做的也只是对他们笑笑说没关系。

#我们几婆孙合照。相信你眼睛，这张照片是真的有点模糊。#

正所谓“家家有本难念的经”，坎坷的故事不好听，我也就写到这里好了。

Studying vs. Working

2011-07-20T01:16:00.000+08:00

Recently I started to wonder, is studying better or working better ?

Studying: I pay to learn.
Working: I'm paid to learn, and for my hard work.
Studying: I have friends. We share, we play, we laugh, we travel, we're doing most of the things together.
Working: I have colleagues. We cooperate, we work, we busy, we're doing our best to serve the customers.
Studying: Staying up late just to finish doing my revision or reports.
Working: Staying up late coz I just got back home from work.
Studying: Exams determines everything.
Working: Quality of your work determines everything.
Studying: More leisure time.
Working: Lesser leisure time and resting time too.
Studying: Got to rely on others for financial issues.
Working: At least I can handle partial, that makes a lot of difference !!!
Studying: I can join clubs and societies for endless fun activities.
Working: There's no such a thing in the working environment.
Studying: I'm tired without any reason.
Working: I'm tired with a reason.
Studying: You'll not get sacked. Even if you do, that means you're as worse as a rotten apple.
Working: You'll get sacked, if you're not doing at your best.
Studying: Everyday is the same old boring day.
Working: Everyday is a challenging day.
Studying: Facebook everyday !!!
Working: Facebook just to check updates.

The statements above are based on my own perspective, it might varies among different individuals.

For my current situation, I think working would be a wiser choice to made, if I'm really given a choice between both. But it was studying who provides me with knowledge and all sorts of necessary skills for the working environment...

Since this is a hard choice to make after all... staying in between both of them will be the best solution at the moment.

星期一

今天拿钱交房租时，

我向房东澄清了一些小事物，

换来的竟然是差点让我感动流泪的金言：

“你必须要把这个灾难当作是一个转折点，

好好地把自己的本分做好。

要明白先苦后甜：没有尝过苦，

你吃什么都不会真正感觉到是甜的。

你要加油！”

*********

这一天算是很特别，

毕竟这一天是我第一天上班；

人生第一份自己找到的工，

第一份领自己辛苦赚回来的钱，

第一份冒着什么都不会的态度打的工。

交了房租后，

我便去上班了。

才刚换好制服不久，

我便开始忙了起来。

忙着为客人写菜单，

忙着拿汤匙筷子叉，

忙着出饭菜给客人...

就这么样，我忙了很久。

直到我看见熟悉的面孔走进来：

我华乐团的朋友们...

我才发现原来已经那么夜了！

当他们找到位子坐下来后，

我便立刻飞去强着招待他们了。

有点坏的我为他们 A 了一盘刚出炉的炒饭，

又怕他们等闷了他们的 order，

我又去 A 了一盘写错单的炸豆腐，

还不时自作主张去 refill 他们的绿茶。

等到他们买单时我就下班了。

在餐馆奔波了整天，

难得有得坐下来固然是好，

但是疲惫的身躯需要的最终是休息。

但是在华乐合奏练习时，

因为自己饿、累、练不好而发了脾气。

过后我感到很内疚，

我不应该对别人发脾。

错的最后还是自己，

要怪也只能怪自己没做好本分。

在我自责的时候，

朋友们过来开导我，

并吩咐我回家早点休息。

当时我很感动，

因为我得到了许多的鼓励。

向团员们道歉后，

我便回家去了。

#要活得精彩，不要后悔。来，微笑一个！#

*********

“哎哟！下次给我一个 miss call，

如果我还没睡就可以打回给你啊！”

我承认是我傻、我笨。

因为你工作范围需要到处奔波，

很辛苦、很疲累，

我希望你可以好好休息，

本来还以为需要等多两个月半的时间，

其实原来只剩下两个月而已。

我期待，

那一天的到来。

睡觉怪癖

2011-07-06T01:37:00.000+08:00

在深夜时会开着电脑播些较慢较柔的歌陪伴入睡... 我几乎已经把这当成了一个习惯。一个人在房里闷闷时也会播着歌，好让我的偶像们陪伴着我度过每一天。我以为只有我会这么做，直到我遇见了一个人...

*********

虽然认识才不久，但是为了方便工作和搭顺风车，我跑到他家睡了两天。两个大男生晚上时就这样睡在同一张双人床上，盖着同一张被单... 当然睡着不同的枕头啦！

“你不会介意我开着歌睡觉吧？”
“哪里会，我偶尔也是会这样做的！有歌听才会比较容易睡~”
“哦！哈哈~ 不会太大声吧？”
“不会啦，刚刚好。”

*哔*了一声，开了冷气关灯后便躺下来睡觉了。

临睡时，我还记得到他家过夜前他在公司 MSN 里还很担心地问我：“你有什么睡觉的怪癖吗？”
“到时候你就知道咯~”

在刚刚躺下来时我们两还有聊些东西，过了一阵子后便静了下来，也开始听到他呼噜呼噜的睡着了。听下听下，听到了梁静茹、蔡健雅、梁文音之类的作品。过了一阵子，还没睡着的我开始发冷了，虽然已经盖了那厚厚的盖被，怕冷的我当然还是觉得有点冷。我把自己缩成一团后便开始睡去了。

由于睡前一直提醒自己明天要早醒，所以很自然的比闹钟设定的时间醒了。我第一件发现的事情是我很温暖；第二件事情是我抱着一个很庞大的东西。当我清醒了一点我才明白，原来我在抱着他睡着了！

那时他的电脑正在播放着梁静茹与光良合唱的《只能抱着你》。“好想这样抱着你，我知道你有些在意”... 我抱得他有点紧，但是他并没有把我推开。好久没有抱抱枕睡觉的我，觉得抱着一个有点壮壮的人睡觉感觉还蛮舒服的。于是我不敢放开他，即使我知道这个动作有点像在搞基，我便闭上眼睛继续随着歌声睡觉了。

不知过了多久他手机的闹钟响了。我被吵醒了，但是我没有立刻爬起身，我也发现我还在抱着他。醒了的他伸个手到书桌按停了闹钟后便继续躺在床上，但并没有把我推开。我们俩就维持了这个动作有好几分钟直到我手机设定的闹钟响了我才甘愿爬起身。

当天搭他车到酒店公干时我问了他一句：“昨晚睡觉时你有感觉到我在抱着你睡觉吗？”
“不知道叻... 好像有一点点咯...”

第二天晚上我也发现到我又抱着他睡着了！他没有在抱怨什么啦... 但是后来几天他在公司时说肚子痛，自称怀了我的孩子，还配合他玩了几个星期的 “老公老婆” 。最后玩到闷了后就闹 “分手” 了，哈哈~~~

这个经历，我不会忘记，毕竟它是个在我人生里比较有趣、可笑、难得的经验。
哦... 还 get 不到我睡觉的怪癖吗？我可能会抱着人睡觉哦！

音乐

2011-07-04T01:28:00.000+08:00

音乐是奇妙的

简单的 do re mi 竟然可以演奏出不同的旋律

带着喜怒哀乐

供给大家欣赏

演奏音乐的我们

即使你演奏的乐器只是伴奏

或者是简单的敲打两三下

凡是顺利地合奏一首曲子后

都会有一种很开心的心情

接触华乐一年多了

对它的认识不多也不少

总觉得能够合奏一首动听的歌曲

在台下每一位演奏员都付出了时间

辛苦练习的回来的成果

当然演奏员们也必须要培养默契

才能显示出团结的力量

音乐是奇妙的

它，已经是我生命里的一份子了

Cat, Ribbons and Song

2011-07-01T14:44:00.000+08:00

Everytime when there's ensemble practice, I'll found the same cat lurking around listening to our ensemble and plays with us. She's cute, quiet and doesnt afraid of humans unlike her siblings ~~which jumps away whenever I approaches them.~~

I arrived early yesterday evening and I start my practice from the basics. Moments later I saw her coming near my feet and she brushed herself on my feet. Her fur was soft, honestly, so the feeling was quite comfortable, haha~ Then she jumped on to the chair next to me and sat there staring at me. "I dont have any food for you, so sorry," I told her. She seems to understand it, but still sitting there listening to the songs I played.

#Sexy back... Lol~#

They say she might be pregnant since she's having quite a big stomach. Talking about pregnancy, the First Aid Society organized quite a huge event this week around Block D and E, focusing on the HIV and AIDS prevention, awareness of personal health and first aid knowledge. I got some free gifts from their booth which I've been wanted for so long since last week.

#Ribbons !!!#

Yeah, it might sound silly... since almost everyone that I knew got it but not me, it gives me the urge to get one for my bag too. And how lucky am I to get one from Sensei (since she already got one and she's receiving another again) that she pasted on my bag.

#There it goes the Red Ribbon and my Soul Eater, Riku's Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts.#

And by the way, we're receiving quite a lot of small gifts along the booths set up around Block D and E. Here're some of the bookmark design that I got from them.

#There's more design of the bookmarks given out, and the most funny design is the condom-shaped ones !#

Talking about condom, they're having a photo-shooting session with a Condom mascot which cost RM 2, and they claim that the money they collected will be donated to the charity.

Then Rannie-chan tells us a joke: what do you call a person wearing a condom mascot costume ? A penis !!! But if the question was "What is the name of the person wearing a condom mascot costume", the answer could be Dick, Dicky or Dickson !!!

And lastly, I realized that they played a song that I liked very much but havent got it in my MP3 yet. Two is Better Than One, performed by Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift. Too bad that Taylor isnt in the MV, but its still a great song though.

And yes... I do believe that two is really better than one, and I really cant live without you. =)

FYP

2011-06-24T20:18:00.000+08:00

Finally, I got my Final Year Project's (FYP) title already. The title was actually my last choice out of the 6 titles I chosen... anyway, I'm still glad that I'm able to work on the title that I choose, ~~although I'm not very excellent on Chemistry-based subjects~~. The title that I got is about antioxidant properties of edible fruits/herbs/gingers. Antioxidant... interesting huh ???

Been to library yesterday after class to search for some information, text books and thesis written by the seniors on the title. I flipped through those thick thesis related to my title and got a shock of my life: most of their supervisor were Dr. Lim Yang Mooi !!! I remembered her talking about cancer prevention during a sharing session in the 4th GBHEF (check back here for some details on whats happening during the event) with Yen Yee as the emcee for that session.

#Flowers blooming outside of the library.#

#Sun shining through the transparent ceiling of the library.#

Most of the thesis that I read through seems to be quite difficult to understand, especially the method used to conduct the experiment and collecting data/results. After throwing away those thesis, I looked for relevant text books/reference books for similar information.

The first thing I noticed was... damn, where the heck are the books that I needed !? Every book that I looked through doesnt seems to be useful enough for me. But in the end I managed to found a frequently-borrowed book with notes scribbled down and corners of the pages folded... which is quite useful in the sense of getting a rough idea where to start my project.

#Didnt took the sunset yesterday, but I swear the sunset was much more beautiful than this one.#

I walked myself to Block C Cafeteria for the usual CO practice. And I realized that how much I miss the bright sunset over the mountains and above the lake. The wind was cold but soft, and it ease my mind from the stress. Finally reached the cafeteria and we all gathered outside for practices. ~~Without surprise, we're informed that the concert was delayed.~~ We ensembles + practices a song and called it a day. Great... it'll be a boring day then.

And I think that I should create a new label named "FYP", for future use of course. =)

感激遇到你

2011-06-21T18:14:00.000+08:00

在 Facebook 里看到一个出现了很久的 video。里面是黄宗泽和胡杏儿的婚纱照，播着的是他们在《野蛮奶奶 2》合唱的插曲。听下听下，感觉来了，结果就给我找到这首歌的原版 MV。歌词在下面：

感激遇到你 - 黄宗泽 & 胡杏儿

感谢以下网站所提供的歌词

女：这是爱承诺用心恋爱
注定要和你同步飞身爱海

感激遇到你

在我大学生涯里，需要感激的人真的很多。他们除了陪伴我一起上课玩耍的 TE 4 以外，还有调皮的 housemate 以及他的朋友们。还记得有一个学期我每个星期都跑去他们家 A 晚餐、吃火锅，最后才发现原来我 A 了整个学期的晚餐才那四十多块而已。当然，我有付钱啦~

离乡背井跑到金宝来上课了，结果还是遇到了很多热情的人，还与他们做成了朋友。几乎每天都在跟他们一起“出生入死”地去上课、吃饭、温习、玩耍、疯狂。如果没有了他们，我的生命就会像阴天的乌云。也很感谢华乐团肯收留这个什么都不会的我，把我培育成个算是有点才华的人。哈哈~ 你们是我生命里的彩虹！

嘿，我真的好想你叻，很感激遇到你。 =)

Re-post 追踪：合奏练习情况

2011-06-20T22:35:00.000+08:00

昨晚在 Block C 合奏练习时，全团员们~~（或许也只是一小部分而已吧？）~~都觉得很乱、很吵。

最后我们终于知道发生了什么事......

...... 我们看不到指挥，因为我们只看到一片绿色的墙壁。

Nyan !!!

2011-06-19T22:10:00.000+08:00

Found this interesting video few days back. Its a cat sandwiched between a ~~some say strawberry-flavored~~ Pop-tart with rainbow coming out at the back. The song is quite funny and cute. If you ever tried to sing with the cat, I'm so sorry to say that its difficult because you're not fast enough to sing it !!!

If you're wondering what does "nyan" means, it is actually taken from the Japanese word にゃあ (pronounced as "nya"), which is the sound that cats make. More info on this cute-looking Nyan Cat, please refer to Wikipedia.

One more thing... if you ever wanted to sing along with the cat WITH lyrics, it is better to sing without it since the whole song only consists of NYAN ~~and I couldnt find a correct lyrics because I'm not fast enough to sing through all the Nyans posted on those lyrics website~~ !!!

Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan Nyan~~~

Week 2 Recap

2011-06-11T16:12:00.001+08:00

Its been a busy week, although its just Week 2 of the semester !!! I'm assigned to most of the days to be a helper in the Chinese Orchestra Unit booth being set up in Block C Cafeteria for the last 5 days.

#Seems like the decoration manager's creativity sharply rose !!! While every other clubs used black as background, Sensei used white instead, and the effect wasnt that bad at all !#

I was asked to go on stage perform to attract the attention of the crowd in cafeteria and for promotion of our Chinese Orchestra Unit among the students. Managed to play "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X on DiZi ~~with slight mistakes unnoticeable~~. Here's some pictures taken during the recruitment drive.

#Credit to "My" Chelle for the picture.#

#Sensei the Pipa player !?#

#Various type of plucking instrument displayed at the booth.#

#Jarod the Carrot having hard times choosing DiZi and Erhu to play.#

Nothing much to add on for the week, but the thing for sure is: I dont want my FYP !!! Can I just skip my FYP and graduate !?!?

And by the way, Fermentation just seems like another Mathematics subject from our foundation with lots of differentiation, integration and previously learnt calculations during Enzymology classes. Gotta pay full attention in the class or else I'll found myself lost in the middle of a pile of notes...

One last thing, here's a preview of our Chinese Orchestra's second concert poster (the poster is still under construction, I just took one of the best design to have some small promo).

#Doesnt the date of the concert looks familiar... ?#

For more information on the concert, you all can always refer to our UTAR Kampar campus Chinese Orchestra BLOG for more information regarding the details.

Tired now... gotta go and have some nap now.
