Even The Sky Weeps :'(

No, it's not because DAP lost to BN for The Seats that I am sad about, and no, it's not because BN uses such dirty tactics to win this election (don't deny it! evidence is abundant among cyberspace and the community! ><) that makes me all depressed, even though it did a little :P It's because of the government, I feel that we Malaysians are more divided than ever :'(

      They say 1Malaysia, they say all races united and one, but...why do they keep telling us to be grateful that they're letting us non-Bumiputeras stay in this country? Why do they still refer to us as immigrants? Isn't that all in the past? Aren't we all Malaysians now? Why do I - we - still feel as though we were not treated equally? We all are still referred to as Malays, Chinese and Indians, not Malaysians. Chinese go back to China. So Indians back to India issit? >< 

      I can't believe that they're calling us protesters "The Chinese Tsunami" >< Now THAT'S racist >< We just feel that the elections are unfair. I mean, hello? Phantom votes? Really? And it's not only the Chinese who protested, you know ><

      And because we protest so much, now some of the Malays really have a bad impression on us :( Worse. Maybe not all, but somehow feels like most. I don't want to believe that Malays are racist, or us Chinese are racist. And what about the Indians? Why do I always feel as if it's just these two major races at war? Why can't we all stop this and REALLY interact with one another as equals? Instead of listening to all those terrible stereotypes and jump to conclusions? I don't believe that all are that bad. I mean, I have awesome teachers! They're not bad at all! And I've also met some Malays, they're really nice! No more different! We're all human, after all! Made up of flesh, blood and bone! Or maybe because they encountered some who are not so good and that made them think that way? Sigh! No matter what colour we are, there're bound to be some who're not good company, but don't let that get you to assume that all are like that.

       I keep hearing about how the government only help the Malays more than they help others because we are "different", because we're only "a waste of space", that this land isn't ours and that they're nice enough to let us stay. And then you have some of the Malays who say that we Chinese are ungrateful and that if it wasn't for the government, we'd be going back to the slums of China by now (actually, China's really nice, I miss that place, especially the hotels! TT^TT). Is this what they're implying? That we non-Malays should go back to our original countries? That this is MALAYsia? That we shouldn't complain and whine because we're in their territory?

      I'm SICK of this >< I don't want to see us disunited like that. Everyone has their ugly side, but no one's perfect! The government keeps on saying that they'll ensure peace in this multiracial country. So why are we still in this situation? Why do they still tell us to bersyukur? Is it because of the past? Do you really have to remind us of history? It feels as if we owe them or something. That really makes them all hypocrites then ><

     It's not that we're anti-Malays. It's not that we're an ungrateful bunch of pimps. Grey flags do not mean we vandalize and tarnish the pride of Malaysia. We voice out because we want equality as well. Heck, the whole WORLD wants it. We humans are just too prejudiced, and it's unfortunately in our nature to be racist, just because others are different. Well, this is stupid! And us Chinese! Just because the other races call us names, we shouldn't fight tooth with tooth or something like that. That'll make it even worse, and us no different! Karma, people! We really should set aside our differences and accept each other. Isn't that why we study Moral? Toleransi! Sikap keterbukaan! If the Big Leaders can't even do that, what's the point of getting an A+ for the subject? >< Then it'll be up to US to show them that we're on the right path. 

      The main obstacle is not the Chinese, nor the Malays. Not even the Indians o.O It's the GOVERNMENT! Their messages and motives really rile people up. Really, their actions are ambiguous >< They want us Chinese to leave that badly? Are we really taking up space? But we're born here as well! Our rights can't be denied just because our ancestors moved to here and that we're not originally from here. We love Malaysia as well, and this is why we protest. We're not here to cause trouble. It's because of politics that we fight for stupid, petty reasons. Do not mix patriotism with politics! That's bullshit if you do!

     So take a stance! Don't let racism, sexism and other -isms cloud your vision and blind your sense of rationality. Open your eyes! Be more open-minded and think of both good and bad ways instead of being so biased on one idea. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but let's hear others out and think about it. Because things may not be as it seems to be. The world and its ideology are just as ambiguous, there's no one-way ticket to the Truth o.O

     If this continues, then the future generation is doomed TT TT No wonder so many people migrate to elsewhere >< This is a really bad sign indeed! Malaysia CAN'T fall like that QAQ And don't tell me bout Malaysia being Banlgasia or Penangites being Penangites and not Malaysian anymore >< We are retreating further into one side of the shell.

     I wish not to fight. I wish not to disrupt peace between all races. I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish for everyone to be united, forever, day and night. BN or DAP, doesn't matter, as long as them politicians know the error of their ways, like, oh I don't know, CORRUPTION? I hope all this crisis will end soon QAQ 

     All right, I guess I'm done ranting and sharing my thoughts >< Tomorrow's a school day. Oh the joy ._. Oyasumi, everyone! Remember, like Jet Li does it, start small, then it'll be for all! 

So...it finally ends...

Elections. Meh. At least it's all over now. 

     ...or was it?

     The results just came out over the news today. People started posting statuses about it on Facebook. Surprise, surprise, DAP won Penang. But the whole country? BN. Simple, blue, white-scaled BN. Sigh. I really don't know whether I should be angry, sad or even happy (...nah~) about it. I simply have no idea. Though I'm not surprised over that piece of news.

      People say that they use dirty tricks to win the elections. Free IC for foreigners, especially those from Bangladesh. Dirtied ballots. Extra ballots. And all other kinds. Well, I simply have no comment over that ._. It's all...magic~ o.O

      It looks like a bleak future for everyone. They start putting up black squares as they profile pictures, greying pictures of the country's flags pop up, showing their resentment and disappointment towards the whole thing. Drained colours. It's just that depressing.

     I watched a bit of the news. But it's too slow for me. Plus I have to study. Yeah ._. 

     Why does the government just has to be that...sigh... ><

     Jeez, even my post here sounds depressing ._. Here's a not-so-depressing picture then XD

     I just hope there're no bloodshed >< I don't want any of that. Cyber abuse, you see it everyday, but violence, oh no, no way ><

     Ever since the elections came up, rumours started speculating among the community, mixing in with the truths and lies. You can't be sure which is which anymore. It's just so confusing.

      Some are against Anwar. Others Najib. Well, who would you prefer? An experienced politician being accused to be gay? Or the heir who inherits the power and only does so much (SO MUCH that I don't buy it ._.) good when the elections draw near?

      Loads of people assume that they're using the people's money, our money, to hold all these campaigns. Others think that it's the sponsors who back them up, and that none of our money has been touched. Who knows?

      I just can't believe it. I don't know what's the truth anymore. Did DAP really use racial tactics to reel in votes? If BN portrays themselves as the police force that holds the nation together and keeps it safe from harm, if they win, is the nation really gonna be OK? Will it resume its normal, flagless state? Will things continue the way it is? Or will they learn from their mistakes and actually do good? Will the outcome be worse? Can there really be no corruptions? In the alternate future, if DAP wins, will Anwar be a better leader? Will he prevent such corruptions? Or will he and the rest succumb to their greed sooner or later?  Will the winning party really keep its promises? 

     Apple pie just seems much more appealing than this dreary situation right now .-.

     Oh, and this video XD

     Well, at least they'd taken down the 1Malaysia structure in Gurney Drive. And those 1Malaysia flags, too. But, will the flags of BN stay? I really hope they'll take them down. If not, gone will only be DAP flags then >< Din de nia! They really ruin the scenery, those flags. 

     It's no use seething hate over this. Giving up is also not the solution. What we need is the real truth to be in light. And better leaders. Real politics? Then history is repeating itself again and again >< Fight? Then fight fair! Cheating is cowardly. Fail like a man! ((Is there such thing? o.O

     If DAP wins, I wonder if I'll be happy about it? As much as I'm a teensy bit in favour for that party, doubts hold me back. Is DAP really that good? Is BN really that bad? Who knows? Pessimism's in my blood ._. But then, so does optimism, only when I'm really really hyper ><

     BN or DAP, doesn't matter. If people are united by politics, then that's good. If separated and biased like fans fighting over their idols, then that's silly ><

      Sleep is welcoming me with its arms spread wide for an embrace. I hope to see the next day and not be affected by the disappointment and resentment.

      Is this unhappy? Is this unlucky? Well, watch Unhappy Refrain then.

Vote in May, Change Government on that Day o.O

Wow. Just, wow @@ I never realized how supportive Penangites can be until tonight.

       The DAP ceramah was held just now at 8:30pm in Esplanade. I'd never been to such an event before, was feeling both curious and a tad nosy, so I tagged along with my parents and grandma. Along the way, more flags came upon view, and I saw this big-ass 1Malaysia structure in Gurney Drive. I shuddered at all this blue. They better take them down after the elections == Even the trees were a sorry sight with those flags attached to their trunks. If they had voices, I'm pretty sure they'd be going 'Get these things off me!' >:( 

      Later, we managed to find a parking spot, but it was a bit far away from the venue, so we had to walk quite a distance o.O As we got closer, I saw streams of people walking to and from that place. Assorted vehicles held white Rocket flags, with the drivers honking and blowing into plastic horns to show their support. Even some people held signs that said 'Honk for DAP' or something like that. Boy, it was a total sound pollution o.O

       Everyone was feeling very high tonight, shouting 'Ini kalilah! UBAH!' at the top of their lungs. People had red DAP fans in hand, the hornbill mascot hats and paper crowns on their heads, white flags held aloft and even those inflated red stick balloons, which  could cause quite a ruckus when you clap them together. There were glowing badges, Rocket tattoos which they stick on their cheeks, along with some other merchandise they sold at those stalls: Bags, umbrellas, bottles, bookmarks, etc. Vendors set up their business selling food and drinks to all. There were also multiple screens that broadcast the stage way up ahead, and speakers booming loudly with the politicians' voices, convenient for viewers and listeners who were at the back. 

      Someone said that there're about 90-100k people present. Wow @@ No wonder. With so many people all gathered in that one place, already I wanted to go home =w=lll I know, I'm a party pooper sometimes, but I couldn't stand the sound and smells >< I kept hearing everyone shouting 'UBAH!' '五月五，换政府!' (wu yue wu, huan zheng fu; 5th of May, Change Government!) And those horns! Aren't people tired of blowing them? I guess they really are that supportive o.O I dislike the fact that some people there were smoking, yuck >< I kept fanning at the stench, but it was no use.

       Despite the warm atmosphere that made us all perspire madly and the crowd of people all squeezing together in one place, they were still pumping their fists, cheering and hooting, waving their flags merrily, all high in spirit. Everyone seemed to be in favor of a change in government. And all of this made all Penangites unite and become one. 1PENANG! >:D

      I wasn't in the mood for cheering, though. I'm more of an observer of this event than a supporter, a neutral party. I found that the politicians' tongues were quite slick. They really know how to 'peli' (mock) the other party. Even though they kept replaying those slogans over and over and over, the audience never seemed to tire from it. I have to admit, I admire the people's spirit, their love for Penang, and their endless moral support for this party. It's quite contagious, this whole thing. People were whipping out their phones and tabs, holding them aloft like the flags, taking loads of pictures and recording everything whilst walking. When I came back home and logged on to Facebook, I saw loads of my friends bombarding the news feed with photos and statuses of the event. It definitely made history.

      At 10:30pm, it hadn't ended yet, but me and my family then went our way first, dodging motorbikes and weaving our way to the car. On the way, we stopped to have supper over at this food court. Fried ice cream, mint chocolate cake and soda really helped XD After a whole night sweating in the heat and standing among the crowd for hours, I felt better when my stomach was replenished with food. 

     Well! If you ask me, I'm never going back to an event like this ever again :/ One-time experience of it is enough, thank you very much. I'm just not into crowds, I guess. It depends. I'll just be a couch potato and watch the news instead =w=lll Good night, everyone! Happy voting on Sunday! 

     

Pika! Pika! Smile Magic!

Moving on from Masato, it's time we shine the spotlight on Otoya in episode 5! The rising red sun that shares its warmth and happiness in STARISH! A character who really emphasizes the word 'bubbly'! XD

       Otoya was in a room, jamming on his guitar, something he's quite good at :) The title of his song? SMILE MAGIC! :D Just reading those words makes me feel all happy ^^. Otoya's optimism is quite contagious XD Everyone else is watching him, impressed with his singing, commenting on how he's gotten better, while he practices with such passion that musical notes and red sparkles dance around him~ Pika! XD

      But then, he's late for his recording on some variety show, as Tokiya points it out to Otoya, who's all steam steam eh =w=lll 

      Saotome actually arranges Otoya to appear on the show with Cecil! :D Camus seems irritated by it though, mostly 'cause Cecil is still an amateur. Let's see how it goes! o>w<o

      Screaming fans among the audience are apparently a must-have on these sort of shows, lol! Omo! Cecil's in a green cat suit! Kawaii~ XD Otoya's his usual hot self, cheerful and friendly and knows what he's doing >///w///< Cecil is then asked to do impressions. Otoya's a little worried, since that Cecil doesn't really know much about Japan, but just as he mentions famous people, guess who Cecil impersonates? XD He puts on a pair of sunglasses, and woo! It's Shining Saotome!!! LOL XD He does it quite well! It's so alike! He even jumps around and stresses whatever he says, just like the real guy XD

       The show turns out to be a success! o>w<o Cecil, still a bit unfamiliar with the whole thing, doubts it when he sees everyone laughing, but Otoya assures him that everyone loves what he does, that it isn't a failure, but the opposite of it :D At least he gets the chance to be the centre of attention ^^ Although Camus says that Cecil's success is because of his intructions =[]=lll since when...? What thick skin his face got!

       Cecil looks so bumbly and cute in that green cat suit, which is all chubby XD Kawaii~! o>w<o The scene then pans over to Nanami reading a magazine, fangirling over a few articles about STARISH and their recent achievements :))) But then steam Nanami is so immersed in that article she gets lost on her way home! =[]=llll 

     A sudden commotion, showing Otoya among a crowd of children! Gasp! This is it! This episode's gonna shed some light on Otoya's past! Yoshi!!!! XD Oh, I love Easter eggs in these sort of moments! ^^ Nanami looks sho CUTE when she's all chibi XD 

      Aha! Otoya reveals it! He says that he grew up in this place because his mom died when he was little and he doesn't know who his dad is. Well, I know! I know! *hand raised and waving* ((piak~ So he visits this children's home from time to time :D No wonder he disappears sometimes, as the members of STARISH pointed out earlier.

     Otoya mentions that they're going to open a bazaar soon :D A HAUNTED HOUSE BAZAAR =w=llll now who would sell stuff in a haunted house? lol. At least, that's what timid Nanami perceives, but they'll be selling outside, the haunted house is just a part of all the event, haha XD

      Typical of the children! One of them pops a question, "Is she your gurlfren?" Finally! XD Chibi Otoya blushing and denying, MOE!!!!! <3 Even the children doesn't want Nanami to go, so she joins in with them and Otoya before going home :))) Well, at least she has him with her, otherwise, how will she get home? She's lost, isn't she? XD

     So now everyone knows about Otoya's situation, which is good, no secrets kept or whatever that is relevant XD Ahhhh! Tokiya!!! <3 Persian blue clothing really suits him <3 Otoya invites him to the bazaar, but, awww, it seems not everyone knows about Otoya being an orphan, because Tokiya thinks he started volenteering or something and says that he's busy and has work and can't go :((( dammit, Tokiya! >< Kuso!

     Yay! The Haunted House is complete! ^^ I love the children! They say that the Haunted House is great for couples and that Nanami and Otoya should go in! Go! >:D Actually, Nanami's such a wimp :P the decorations in the haunted house are just a bunch of glow-in-the-dark cutouts of demons and ghosts and stuff, nothing scary, really. Plus some sound effects. But Otoya is all gentlemanly and offers his hand to Nanami. That hand does look promising, lol. With them holding hands, they really look good together ^^ 

       "Is it all right if we keep doing this until the exit?" he asks. Hold hands with Otoya? With extra time to spare??? Kyaaaaaaa~! YES! Yes, yes, YES! XD Woo! Nanami's nerves are calmed down a bit :) BUT NOT OTOYA'S, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~~~~ SUFFER IN SILENCE, YOU M! :PPP

      Fangirl mode is directly proportional to the romance of the scene. When the romance of a particular scene increases, fangirl mode then increases! ((Too much physics)) Otoya moves from hand to hand to putting his arm around Nanami protectively! >///w///< Omo! I rarely see guys this nervous when they're around a girl they like, but Otoya's expression is priceless! XD

       The exit turns out to be a room filled with the children's artwork! :D Painted walls and more cardboard cutouts! They even left a note thanking Otoya and Nanami XD Aw! 

       Flashbacks of Otoya with Nanami! Ah, how I miss those days~ He's just too hot >////< Oooo! He almost confessed! His feelings! To Na!Na!Miiiiii!!!! Kyaaaaa~~~~ ALMOST THERE! HE ALMOST DID IT! But in every suspense there's always something that interrupts the tension! Out drops a little Jack-like ghost doll (Nightmare before Christmas reference XD). BY CECIL. Damn you, SHESHIL! JUSH DAMN YOU! God dang it! ASDFGHJKL!!!!! *Flips table!!!



      Oh well, at least he compensates that by offering to help out in the bazaar. But the next day, the bazaar's empty >< Apparently, there's a flea market on the other side of the station o.O So what do you do when you're feeling down? Well, SHING, OF COURSH! Cue Otoya! And his heavenly voice~<3 Dayum, it just sends goosebumps, even up to my face =[]=lll He's that good >///< Light shines, sparkles...sparkle! Go! Go! Oto-nii! GO! GO! OTO-NII! Woo! LALALALALA-LALA!!!!! ENGRISH INSERTED! Thanks to my friendssssssssssssss-SA! Thank you! Thank you very much~ *Elvis expression

       Yoshi-O! His performance attracts people to come over! CUSTOMERS!!! ^^ AND STARISH IN CHUBBY, CUTE BEAR COSTUMES???? KYAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~~~<3<3<3 TOKIYA~~~~double bows! Natsuki looks so cute! He's the one responsible in dragging everyone lol! Now Tokiya knows about Otoya's sitch! Finally! How long are you guys going to wear those bear suits, you ask? Hmm, I dunno, FOREVER~? ((piak~






Close up! XD Aren't they cute???      

      A meeting with Saotome in the office! Nanami has finished writing a few songs and passes them up to him. However, quantity matters! It's a battle of numbers, he says! Likely to produce a hit! Go on! Go on! Go on!

    And this concludes this episode! Matta! Na!
       

Flags. Flags Everywhere ._.

This is ridiculous. Utterly stupid. Father tells me that in truth, there's nothing wrong with it, they have their rights, but it really gets on my nerves ._. It's like MAPOTI, or worse ><

      The General Elections are coming up, next weekend, they say. And because of that, guess what? They just HAVE to cover every square inch of the state with a bunch of FLAGS, don't they? If it's just a few scattered all around, I'm totally fine with it, no big deal. But THIS! This is just too overwhelming >< Even my neighbourhood has them @[]@ Even outside my humble abode! They're spreading like a blue epidemic, with a few white streaks mixed in. 

      Do they HAVE put that much flags in? Are they trying to proclaim their power over this country? You do realize that after this election ended, and if they lose, those flags are a total waste of both money and resources. Unless, of course, they decided to use it again on the next election o.O

     I'm sure if you can round up those flags and sew them together, they'd make a great canopy for cover. If one flag costs RM4, or RM10, and you're diligent enough to go count those flags, then...you do the math. The sum's...very high...OTL

     Everywhere I go, I see them. Along the roads, outside my school, in downtown, even over the CEMETERY and TEMPLE. Jeez, it feels as if they're disturbing both the living AND the dead ==



See??? =[]=lll Actually, I haven't been to downtown for a week, but after seeing this, I see that it's gotten worse. It wasn't that many last week @@ Siao eh!

     If the police ever finds this post and tries to cuff me for it, well, as my math teacher keeps calling us when we give her excuses, BULLSHIT~ send me to juvenile jail, just because I'm expressing my discomfort and opinions, especially when it's just about a bunch of flags. It's not like I stepped on someone's picture. Well, if they're really wise and great leaders, they wouldn't throw away that amount of money for those flags, free dinners and those free concerts. They would actually READ this and think things over, about how to win, actually WIN, everyone's votes fairly, instead of reeling in fish with such money-blowing tactics and randomly arrest random rebels. It's like history repeating itself all over again. Propaganda for the so-called greater good. Bribery. I DO study my Sejarah, you know, even if I fail most of the time. Have to. Otherwise no certificate after graduation QAQ Heck, if they really want to provide those concerts for non-political purposes, they should've done it earlier! WAY before elections! I've been waiting, WAITING, for concerts in my hometown, you know, those international ones, but nooooo, they're always in KL! And I don't get to go, cuz I'm still a friggin' minor living under my parents' roof >< And NOW they had decided to hold these concerts. FOR FREE. 

      And also, just because I rant about one party, doesn't mean I'm voting for the other. You'll probably be saying that because I bitch so much about that party, it's obvious I'm rooting for that other one. Let me tell you, if I DO get to vote, I wouldn't vote. At all. I don't like both parties. They both seem fishy to me. There's no good party and bad party, just two major groups competing their asses off. Like when I take part in netball in school as the goalkeeper, I look on at my fellow schoolmates from both sides scrambling after the ball at the other end of the court, reminding me of ants fighting over a piece of fallen candy. So basically it's like netball, and I'm just right at the sides, thinking why the heck they would fight so brutally over just one helpless ball.  I'm still a minor and don't have to vote, thank Kami-sama @@ I don't like political drama, simply, utterly, DISLIKE it. They're even messier than soap operas, I'm telling you. Too bad I have to put in my vote in the next election lllOTL I'll be of age by then, sigh~ I hate competition. Too lazy to fight over this crap.

      They say it's for the good of our country. But the way I see it, eventually they're just gonna get screwed anyway. I am SICK of those advertisements. Of those banners telling us not to vote for the other party, but to vote for them because they can provide shit we apparently want and need. BOTH sides are doing it, over Youtube, in Facebook, on TV == The newspapers are THE WORST! But I do like the comics :P 

     This is by far the most heated elections ever! I really, really want to get back to my normal, peaceful, flagless life, where I don't always encounter traffic jams because of free food. I've never even been to one QAQ And I love food!

    Politicians, if you really want to win, don't over do it. I don't like the way they're all "Pick me!" "No! Pick ME! The other party is rubbish! Don't listen to them! I'M your man!" Like egoistic boys fighting over a girl. Typical. The world can never be fair, can it? Just get yourself a piece of humble pie! You say you don't have to say anything about your actions like the rest, others can see it for themselves. Well, I see it, and I feel that your actions are too loud over your words, and vice versa. When I said words, I mean those listed in newspapers and your speeches. And when I said actions, I'm talking about those God damn FLAGS and BANNERS!!! =皿= Let's get this over with already! They're such a drain to my aura.

     And if this event ever appears in a question in Pendidikan Moral, what nilai should they mengamalkan? KESEDERHANAAN, people! Tidak keterlaluan! The world calls for BALANCE. And THIS, is a total overdose of cloth and money-spending >< 

      Happy thoughts. Chicken pie. Apple pie sprinkled with brown sugar. Brownies. Laksa. Aaaaand I'm off to having my dinner .-. What do you think of the elections? Which side are you voting?

Koizakura...Love Sakura?

And so! We're up to four now in Uta Pri! Starring Masatooooooooooooooooo-sama! ^^ I find serious characters like him very, very funny, especially when they can make something so simple into a really heavy matter XD Think Kent ;))) LOL

       STARISH's debut concert is so epic, even people from the theatre community takes an interest in cool Masato. Finally! A chance for this traditional dude to shine! Neon blue! XD He's landed with an audition for a role in this historical musical called *pauses video* Singing Swordsman of Justice, by Hibika Saemon.  Otoya picks up the script, reads it, and imagination settles in~

      Out appears this good old scene in a poor village, with Natsuki escorting Ren-sama, all of them in traditional clothing. Seems like Ren's playing the antagonist, probably someone with power, by the looks of his. HOT~ XD Grinding his teeth, a sword is unsheathed, and Syo cries out something about avenging his mother as he charges at Ren! With the rose in between his teeth, Ren twirls it in his hand before throwing it at Syo's...sword/katana? =w=lll I can't tell lllOTL Anyhoo, just that single stalk and the weapon is easily knocked out of his hands. Natsuki steps forth and lands a blow on Syo, knocking him out for good measure. Ren is about to execute his final blow on Syo before...Masato appears! :DDD



       He wears a hat, glancing coolly at Ren underneath the brim, oozing charisma~ It's obvious that he's the savior and main character of the whole musical. Natsuki the bodyguard, serious for once, in this anime, unlike his real flowery self, tries taking on Masato, but with sharp, hawk-like eyes that shoots lasers for focus (?) and incredible gut instincts, Masato is able to stop Natsuki in time with a sword pointing at his chest, making him admit defeat and surrender. Just like that, Ren and Natsuki flees off, promising that they will come back, the usual move for cowardly villains who heads for the exit.

      Later, after Otoya and Masato helps Syo return home, Syo shares his sad story about his sick mother and how Ren exploits the whole village. This cues Masato's epic speech of him aiming to serve a big plate of justice and make Ren eat it! >:D Kidding! I'm just exaggerating, he just calls him a demon and says that he should be punished :P So typical of quiet Masato.

      But...that next scene.....the hell.......WHY DO THEY STAR TOKIYA AS A WOMAN???????? Of all characters, him! And in the imagination of STARISH @[]@ OTOYA, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? OH MY GOD, HE'S JUST SO M!!! TOKIYA JUST BECAME AN M, HOLY MOTHER OF CUPCAKES @[]@ THIS IS SO BL @@

  

              Oh God why...........lllOTL

        "Zutto!" *shudders* Natsuki's imitation is cuter though XD

        Indication of a love scene! ;D This is Masato's challenge! For being such an iceberg! :P Embracing a person, that's so easy~ But Masato takes it with his usual seriousness, as if embracing a random person, a female actress he doesn't know, in his case, is like losing your virginity to a stranger =w=llll Chill~ Or better yet, just melt yourself and loosen up, Mr Popsicle!

        He then decides to be a one-man show, without his friends' help, on EMBRACING~which is written with brush and ink on calligraphy paper and taped on the wall =w=lll Sure, try losing all mundane thoughts and find inner peace UNDER THE RUSHING CURRENTS OF A WATERFALL, DRENCHED, SOAKED, YOGA-STYLE. 

       Determination is key, even when you're at risk of catching a cold :P Aw :'( He visits his grandfather's grave, recalling on how his granddad decides to help him shape up in the performing arts by letting him go to Saotome Academy. What a filial grandson :')

      Cecil sure is a spoiled prince :/ Camus is another iceberg, as cold as the one that makes Titanic meet its downfall. Argh, homework :/ Even rising superstars have them. Camus says that idols should experts in charming people or something. Sound like snake charmers to me, the way he says it :P

     The Arabian prince can't resist himself around Nanami, can he? :P He just 'wants to relax with her'. That's definitely implied rape :PPP He's also jealous of STARISH, haha XD So why did Nanami like them so much? She says that they sparkle. Makes them sound precious. Like diamonds. BE HONEST, NANAMI, IT'S FOR THEIR HOTNESS, ISN'T IT??? >:D She's too naive. People like her are just too nice. This species is very, very rare :P

     Yay! Masato's back! :D And the others want to help no matter what :))) The power. OF FRIENDSHIP *rainbow emits from hand* Tokiya, nyooooooooooo~ whyyyyyyyeeeeee~~~~ QAQ You really did put on the freakin' kimono ASDFGHJKL!!!

      But...I have to admit...he's pretty good for an actor............

      "Zutto!" GAG!

      OK, fine, I did squeal with laughter over Tokiya's acting :PPP and Masato ALMOST embracing him =w=llll It's just too sparkly~ 

      ...Fan-girling...it just won't go away...OTL

      No matter how perfect Tokiya's acting is, embracing a guy like that just screams GAY~ XD Even Cecil came to watch, lol! The whole bunch are just GAY~~~ the way they anticipate the hugging scene LMAO!

      Cecil does have a good point though. Why DIDN'T they just ask for Nanami's help in the first place??? She's a girl, obviously! They seem to forget about Nanami's existence =w=lll

     I'm sure Nanami's gonna play a big part in the help again, like the one with Syo. Otherwise, there's no point for her in sticking around any longer. Right?

      Wrong! ((piak~ Cecil actually helped him! XD Even gramps' wise words pitched in! Imagine the one you embrace as the woman you love, WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT? 

     The audition ends up perfectly~~~ The fight scenes are flawless, the bumbling villainous baffoon defeated, and THE GIRL FINALLY EMBRACED ASDFGHJKL!!! It's so romantic~<3 the way he hugs Nanami, er, I mean, the random female actress.

    Quote from Masato *puts on epic face*: "This, is what it means to perform. This, is acting. This..."

     ...is AI~<3 ^^ Don't deny it, Masato! You and your thoughts of Nanami! kyaaaaaa~~~~ XD 

     Ooooo~ He actually blushes~ XD *Fries eggs on his cheeks

     Jealous Cecil turns all Sherlock Holmes on Masato =.= Isn't it obvious? Practically everyone has the hots for Nanami. I deduce that Masato loves Nanami! Real genius on that one =w=lll He just has to force Masato to confess, eh? Poor Masato, always locking up his real feelings. At least he's "connected with her", "through the bond of music"~

     I just realize how deep Masato's voice is, too. Very deep, more macho than sexy XD "I want you H~" kyaaaaa~~~~ o>w<o

     ENDING~~~~ TADADAH! DAH-DA DA DAH! LALALALA~ LALALALA! LALALA-LA LALA LA, LALALA LALALALAAAAAAA~~~~ LALA SHOOTING STARRR~~~ 

      Lack of lyrics...gomen...=w=llll

     And 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! I want to shleep! >w< Oyasumi! *le dreaming~
      
      

Hatsune Miku Project Diva F! :D

Epic! Plain old epic! I finally possess this awesome, popular Japanese rhythm game!!! <3 With a bit of patience and some cash saved up in my pink little tin coin box, all's well ends well :))) 

         It was so surprising! On Sunday morning, after a nice swimming session, me and my family had our usual breakfast of Hokkien mee and coffee at this coffee shop downtown. Mum and Dad didn't really feel like going to Gurney Plaza, since that we'd been there last week and they wanted to go home instead. My brother and I begged them to take us there, and that's when inspiration struck. We told them we'd go hang out there, just the two of us, in two hours' time, while Mum and Dad can scadoodle back home and pick us up later for tuition. They somehow agreed! I mean, usually they wouldn't consent to that, what with the random crime rates going up, you'll never know, but Dad just handed us each 50 ringgit and told us to be careful and stick with each other at all times and to make sure we had our phones with us. Woo! Clipped wings temporarily free! ^^

       Giddily, both of us skipped out of the car and entered the air-conditioned interior of the mall, happy about our new found freedom, pondering about which store to go to first. We ended up escalating to the third floor to Artist Gallery, where there's a section up front selling video games and consoles. I remembered spotting the game in the glass display case last week, all wrapped in plastic, looking so pristine among the rest, screaming "buy me!" with its pretty, colourful cover.  That was before I spied another game, Just Dance 4! XD My parents decided to buy me JD4 instead, along with the PS Move, since that they promised so a long time ago, to award me for my good grades during the first term. They weren't really keen on buying Project Diva F for me, though, and constantly reminded me on how long I have left until SPM =.= So I just felt like taking action. I diligently saved up my pocket money up to this day. 

       The storekeeper was nice enough to dock off RM8 from the original price. Once payment was made, yay! :D I couldn't help peeking into my bag every once in a while to check on my newly bought game o>w<o My precious~~~((Gollum-style~

       At least both of us got something. My brother bought a James Bond 007: Casino Royale book :D Good to see my brother doing a bit of reading :) A cup of Tutti Fruitti later and we called up our dad to pick us up. Wuu~ I wished we could shop a bit longer TT^TT

     ...BUT WHO CARES! I GOT THE GAME! MUAHAHAHAHAHA~ ((piak~

     I got to play the game today, what a rare chance on a weekday XD I started it up...and it's all in Japanese lllOTL I know how to read hiragana, a dash of katakana, a teensy bit on kanji, but I barely know how to comprehend all those long sentences TT^TT If only I can ace the Japanese language! >< 

     Well, forget the language barrier, I say! XD I'll just stick with the images, at least they can give some clues as to what these buttons do on the screen, lol! The tutorial is simple and actually quite fun, with Miku's Ievan Polka playing in the background and a chibi Miku holding a stick of leek at the corner of the screen. You just have to mash those buttons at the right time, tapping them to the beat of the song, with the arrow keys, and your usual square-triangle-O-X buttons. Unlike K-on, which has the notes on the screen align on a bar like a music score, the symbols in Project Diva tend to fly on the screen, flying and flying, and you have to keep up with these dayum confusing, colourful little midgets in order to achieve a high score o.O Even their speeds vary, depending on the tempo of the song, from irritatingly slow to mind-blowing need for speed @@ Honestly, they're just so hard to tell when the background gets too bright and colourful, like camouflaged hummingbirds or something o.O

      The graphics are very nice, the animation smooth as clockwork. The scenes are quite cinematic, very HD. They look so pretty on the big screen~<3 The loading screen even displays countless fan art of Vocaloid ^^ They're so colourful, cute and pretty! I wish I can draw as awesome as them @@ It always chokes me up whenever the PVs play out so perfectly, like Tell Your World, I prefer it in the game more than the original one. I can't help it, it's just pure awesomeness! TTwTT The graphics really stands out compared to the one on the PSP. Even my brother, the game nerd in the family who's way more of an expert in this field than me, is impressed with it, though rhythm games are not his cup of tea. He just doesn't find mashing buttons as accomplishing as adventure games like Far Cry 3 or Uncharted.

     What's more awesome is that Project Diva F features a lot of my favourite Vocaloid songs :D Senbonzakura's in it, Tokyo Teddy Bear, too! ^^ Plus, as mentioned above, the exclusive Tell Your World XDDD The game always pumps me up whenever I play it :D Apparently, those songs, along with a few more, are extras added into the game for the PS3 version. To see more songs, here's the link to the list from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsune_Miku:_Project_DIVA_F#Song_List  

      Those epic PVs, the music, the game play, they all combine and become the ultimate pastime for otakus XD Totally worth the buy! ^^ Although it can be addictive :P

      They say you can customize the way your Vocaloid looks by adding an accessory here and there and change their clothing, just like K-On. No surprise there, since that both games are made by SEGA (SEGA~ XD). I haven't tried that yet, but I do earn a handful after a few game plays. So far, my goal is to unlock all the songs first, for more variety and epicness~ XD 

      And so, the adventure begins, a new cycle has been created in the process, with the goal of completing Hatsune Miku Project Diva F and Just Dance 4 at hand. A challenge accepted. 

...but what about SPM........llllOTL sounna.....kuso.......

      Whateva! When there's work, there's play. It's called balance! =w=lll I'm just making excuses :P I better do my homework now, haha, see you!
