Miri.

Hey guys!
So, today, since it's Father's Day, my dad brought us all to Miri. Well, most Bruneians, especially those from Kuala Belait, often spend time with their family members by going to Bandar or Miri, either to catch a movie or just shopping. Bandar, the capital, is about an hour and a half's (or less, depends on your car.xD) journey from KB. And Miri, takes about an hour, if there's completely no traffic, it could be less than that.
We went to Popular book store at Parkson (Bintang MegaMall) and I met Wiagil and her sister Widya. I saw my ex-classmate and best friend Christina too, with her family as they ascended the escalators to the highest floor after we descended FROM the highest floor. I also saw my ex-English teacher Mdm. Yong with her daughter Cynthia and her husband crossing a pedestrian. 
I also saw the twins David & Daniel at Popular. And my mum met her old friend.


And after that we went to eat seafood at Meng Chai restaurant which was located by the roadside. And my dad had told me that around seven-thirty or earlier every night, the whole restaurant would be crowded with people.


We ate 'giant' prawns, some random plate of veggie (I never pay attention to veggies, sorry veggie :P), 'bamboo' clams in curry sauce and fresh fish. It wasn't enough to fill up my tummy so after eating dinner there, we headed to the Desserts shop located in town, a rather huge area with tons of Kopitiam (Coffee shops), stalls and stuff like that. 
Desserts sell the best ice-creams! You should try the Cookie-&-Cream flavoured ice-cream. It's fresh and creamy and mmmlicious!
As me, my sis & my mum enjoy a scoop of ice-cream and cone each in the car, my dad drove us back to Kuala Belait.


Here are the books I bought at Popular:

Catching The Sun by Tony Parsons is a story about a family having a little getaway to the island of Phuket in Thailand, thinking that they would find 'paradise' there but it turned out to be the other way round. I flipped through the book and saw that it has positive reviews from the Sunday Telegraph, New York Times and etc. So I decided to buy it!

Jasmine Skies by Indian author Sita Brahmachari won the Carnegie Medal, and many other awards particularly regarding children's book awards. 

I decided to buy it because 1)The cover was attractive. 

2) The text inside was just the right size, and I don't like books that have small texts. They're just so hard to read for me.

3) This book won the Carnegie Medal, I know many other books did too but not ALL & EVERY book did! So it proves that this book IS good. It has lots of positive reviews too. And she's a bestselling author (Same goes for Tony Parsons!)

I guess it was a huge mistake for me to buy the Shiver Trilogy, which has three books. When I was at Popular, it was wrapped in plastic and we're unable to rip the plastic open, of course. So I guess today I judged a book from it's cover. These three books contains romance and is about werewolves. == Ughh. I hid it in a box in my room just in case my parents found it or something. 

That's all I have to say for today. Thanks for reading, guys!

And don't forget, visit my Wattpad and please read my stories, especially Angel With A Shotgun!

Lastly, arigatou ;)) and farewell until my next entry!

Listen Or Regret.

It's an unfortunate thing that not many of you guys heard of the band The Cab. Last year they recently released their new album Symphony Soldier and a few of their singles ROCK ;).

The Cab- Endlessly (Co-written by Bruno Mars) 
One of the best songs by them! ^_^ And I'm still in love with this.
This song sorts of describe a guy saying that he isn't that rich or affordable to get EVERYTHING for the girl he long dreamed and awaits for. But he just hopes that this girl appreciates his love. This song is so meaningful.
Especially these parts:
"There's a shop down the street,
where they sell plastic rings,
For the quarter apiece,
I swear it.
Look I know that it's cheap,
not like gold in your dreams,
But I hope that you'll still wear it."


"There's a house on the hill,
with the view of the town,
and I know how you adore it.
So I'll work everyday,
through the sun and the rain,
until I can afford it."


Touching if a guy sings this to you? ;D HAHAHA. YES. TOUCHING.

The Cab- Angel With A Shotgun (One of their best singles)

I LOVE THIS SOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH! Even though I got so bored of listening to it non-stop for continuous hours each day. But not today. I've got bored to the core. I'm now addicted to the next song by The Cab that I shall introduce. 

So, My Wattpad story (Wattpad is a place where people show their potential in writing and share their stories) title Angel With A Shotgun, is about war, and it's based on this song as well! 

So, I could as well say that...

THIS SONG IS INSPIRING <33

I'm terribly sorry Directioners, but I 100% agree that their band is better. And don't argue with me because I'm speaking out my opinion. It's just that The Cab doesn't have as much publicity as One Direction gets. And plus I know the One Direction guys are wayyyyy far moreeee good-looking. So that's also a reason why.

So this is the song I mentioned previously that I am currently addicted to! This is one of their best singles too.

When I was on Youtube reviewing this video and stuff, as I scrolled down, one of the top comments said:

"Animal- Co-written by Adam Levine

 Endlessly- Co-written by Bruno Mars

 Angel With A Shotgun & Bad- Their best singles"

True Story.

But Endlessly was also a GREAT song. 

Animal is too...well 'wild', maybe?

When I asked my friends, among all The Cab's songs, they love this the most. For me, at that time, I was still in love with their Angel With A Shotgun song. So I did sort of disagreed to them on my opinion. Haha.

This song is rather catchy too. And I did not say that I'm not in love with it.

This is ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! Wait-no, huh?- They are all my favourites actually. I honestly, can't pick the best. 

You guys MUST listen to all these songs above that I had recommended, all sang by the same & amazing band, The Cab!

I'm dedicating all these songs above (Maybe except for Bad & La La), to my story in Wattpad Angel With A Shotgun. These songs are going to be dedicated to my characters, and Angel With A Shotgun will be dedicated to my WHOLE story, the rest I leave for the characters.

Psst, here's a spoiler: Living Louder will be dedicated to one of my characters (Guess: Girl or guy?) when she/he DIES. 

And...the rest are for you to feel clueless about and guess! ;)

PS:

1070 views...you guys are amazing X.X I never expected the views to increase much due to me----> being idle at Wattpad.

Four Hours.

Hello people :D
I quite missed blogging since I've spent so much time sharing my story on Wattpad, and I officially published my second latest story, it's a collaboration of Sci-Fi and romance. It's a story about war. Check out my Wattpad on my Google+ profile. 
It would help me a lot if you could read my story, and I know I don't have an extremely high command of English. But I hope that'd be okay for you guys.
                                                                ...
On Friday, 9th of June, I went to my bestie Amril's home.
Since it's a day before my most awaited moment (HOLIDAYS (:<), we could easily sit back and relax. Fiyah came along too, and it's great to see her again even if I just went over to her house for a group study a day ago on Thursday. 


At first, we literally had no idea of what to do. We just sat on a mattress in her 16 degree Celcius room and chit-chatted. 

Before Fiyah came, Amril showed me some of the books she and her sister had bought at the SMSA Bookfair last Sunday & Saturday.

And since I haven't used my Lumix camera for quite a while, I snapped some random shots of her stuff and some plushies.

And this is Amril's Canon Powershot G12.

We got quite bored as we waited for Fiyah to come so Amril read me out some funny quotes and rules about stray cats from a book called The Cat Fanatic which is pictured above. 

And leaning on her head is her Build-A-Bearville teddy bear named Muffin!

After Fiyah arrived, we took some random photos before heading outside to see Amril's cats and walk around her house.

MEET SOME OF HER FRIENDLY CATS :) :

Meet Momo! The oldest (and is a young grandma cat) cat in Amril's household. She loves taking afternoon naps in Amril's mother's facial room on the sofa, as you can see on the photo above. She's really adorable and quite lovable, too!

But you can pat and stroke her fur on some certain times because sometimes she goes into a bad mood and hisses.

She has two daughters, yeah, daughter cats, the others were all given away and her two remaining adult daughters are named Cit-Cit and Ubi. 

Cit-Cit's eyes are yellowish-golden. Her body is grey and brownish with nice stripes. Amril loves her the most because you can simply cuddle her anytime you want or feel like! But she doesn't like being taken in pictures, and those 'Snap!Snap!' sounds of the cameras quite annoy here, judging from what Amril had told me and a small, short experience too.

Ubi is shy, cuddly and fat! She's very cute and I love her a lot. She is white in colour with black spots all around her body, head and tail! She has gorgeous green eyes.

This black cat is Silky! She is either Cit-Cit or Ubi's daughter (Amril had forgotten). She has slightly thick fur compared to the other cats in the household and she's perhaps, as fat as Ubi! And her tail is fluffy! 

There's still quite a few more of cats but I haven't took any photos of them because either my camera wasn't with me at that time or something else :P.

We walked to a next door house where Amril's relative owns it (So it's okay to walk aroudn the area) and I was being random again, snapping more photos.

Me, Fiyah and Amril had a group photo before heading back into the house and playing a game of dare. Whoever laughs will have to complete a dare. And I was the first one to laugh and I had to fulfill an extremely hilarious but stupid dare. Next was Afiyah's, and Amril's one, she had to dance while Fiyah played Wannabe by the Spice Girls.

She didn't dance. She practically sat on the bed and did some 'hand' moves and roll around or something. Haha.

That was most of what we did for four hours at Amril's crib. The photos above are taken by my Lumix, whereas most of the nice and awesome photos were taken by Fiyah's Nikon and Amril's Canon. But I have no idea when will they donate their photos to me >< HAHA! I guess that's all about that marvelous day! 

See you around, readers & bloggers & randomers.

Recent Update :)

Hey there, bloggers! It's been three days since I updated my last entry about Fate/Zero episode twenty's latest release, and now I'm addicted to another great, exciting and new anime! Eureka Seven AO! Anime lovers, please check this out if you haven't! 
During my December holidays while my family and I were staying in Mid Valley Megamall's Boulevard Hotel, my dad used the internet to check out about 2012 Chinese zodiac predictions; what luck brings to our particular zodiacs and what to avoid or prevent. For the Rabbit (me), it was stated there that I should avoid laziness and self-indulgence. I couldn't avoid it, either way. It's just like stepping-you-foot-into-the-nail type of scenario. If you take the nail out, it will be painful to the core, if you don't, same thing. I'm already into this crazy thing: Facebook, Youtube, Wattpad, and now, surfing and watching animes for free online on anime44.com! I even ditched my homework and promised myself that I will 'change' tomorrow, Thursday.
I can swear this happens all the time. 
Yay, I was watching Episode 3 then, and now I started watching Episode 5! 
I started an account on Wattpad few weeks ago and did a story about a girl named Emma. Well, I can't tell you more because there's this someone who knows my blog and reads it all the time, and I can't let her know my Wattpad account, because I 'prohibit' her from reading my story. She's a nosypant, trust me. And if you seriously want to check it out, you can comment here or post on my Google + profile which you are able to view by clicking my portfolio link on the right side, where you can see my name and an introduction about myself. Yepp :) Or email me at birman_mei27@hotmail.com :D
I just hope I could get more views for my story!!
And if you're interested to know, it could help me build up more views!

Fate/Zero Episode 20- Return of the Assasin

The episode begin with Kirtisugu entering the storehouse with Maiya on her usual guard. Kiritsugu and Irisviel had a light chat for a while, and then, Irisviel took out 'Avalon' from her body and gave it to Kiritsugu, telling him that she no longer needs it as Kiritsugu must prepare for the final battle awaiting, and with the help of Avalon, he probably has a better advantage. Kiritsugu sort of apologised that Irisviel wasn't able to see everything of the globe that she had wished to see, the cherry blossoms, summer clouds. Irisviel added that if she wasn't able to see it, then let their daughter Ilya to be able to experience the feeling. 
Then, Kiritsugu left to Tokiomi's lair, intending to kill him without knowing that he had already been murdered.
When he sneaked around and observed Tokiomi's mansion home, he was shocked to see crows in the garden, which meant that they were no barriers, something unusual, because Masters always put barriers for people to gain excess to their homes. Just like if a Master or Servant intend to enter, the barrier will be able to signal Tokiomi and Gilgamesh (but they no longer share a Master-Servant relation). 
While Kiritsugu enters Tokiomi's home and searched about, Maiya and Irisviel (back at the storehouse) began talking. Irisviel asked Maiya of her background, why did she intend to be such a loyal person to Kiritsugu, why, at the very beginning did she want to fight?
Maiya was a child soldier, supposingly.
Meanwhile, Saber is spying Waver's home, as she wanted to fight them.
But Waver and Rider/Iskandar (His servant, they had not appear in many episodes) had a different plan. Waver is sort of 'camping' on his own in the exact spot where he first summoned Rider. Rider lost lots of mana and energy/strength since the epic battle as he teamed up with Saber and Lancer to defeat Caster and his master from destroying literally everything?
And now, Waver is staying by his side as Rider invisibly 'charges up' his energy.
Back at Tokiomi's residence, Kiritsugu used some 'spray' to identify the dry puddle of blood he had found in Tokiomi's empty 'oval office', the blood turned out to be Tokiomi's, and Kiritsugu had an answer to why they were no barriers and why was the mansion empty. Boring guy Tokiomi had been dead for a while, and he just knew.
Kariya awoke from a nightmare (Which was being strangled by his Servant Berserker) and found Matou Zouken in front of him. Evil Matou Zouken. 
Zouken placed more of his 'wormie creatures' and inserted a large one as Kariya helplessly gulped it down his throat and screamed.
Back at the storehouse, they were bullets shooting through it as Maiya panicked and quickly contacted Kiritsugu via her walkie-talky. As Kiritsugu placed the walkie-talky to his ear, he felt shocked and an urge of panic as he heard Irisviel's scream. Using a command seal he ordered his 'puppet' Saber to return to the storehouse immediately. Saber, as a Servant, received the urgent command and returned, only to find Maiya full of bullet wounds and Irisviel taken away by Rider. 
Dafuq (9gag language), right?!
The storehouse was a total damage too. And Saber sadly left Maiya alone to wait for Kiritsugu to come for her aid as she left in search of Rider/Iskandar, who has Irisviel know. And I don't freaking know why but somehow Rider is kind of stupid doing this, and calling Saber a 'stupid girl'.
When Kiritsugu returns to the storehouse, he finds Maiya there, miraculously, still alive. Maiya told him not to cry, that he had to keep his tears for his wife Irisviel. But then, poor old Kiritsugu did cry. Maiya then...died. Maiya Hisau is dead.
NOOOOOOOOOO!! MAIYA WAS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS, SHE REMINDED ME OF NATASHA, THE MAGE WHO HAD TAUGHT KIRITSUGU HOW TO KILL, PULL THE TRIGGER, THE- AAAGHHH! MAIYAAAA WHY YOUUU DIEEEEE? D; She was one of my favourite characters.....doushiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! STUPID RIDER >:(

Money The Cat.

So let's say, Money the cat almost made my day? Who's Money, you're probably wondering about that question right now when you're reading this, aren't you? 
Money is my best friend Nurul Afiyah's new pet cat (probably a few months since he was first welcomed into her household). By the way, I call Afiyah "FIYAH" for short! Well, that's her nickname anyway! Money is orangish and yellow with beautiful brown and yellow spots all around his body. He looks most gorgeous when he is playfully lying on his back with his paws on his chest area, in a curved position. You could see that his belly has stripes and more white fur. It really looks nice and his pink-peach paws are so clean. Fiyah's sister, Wafiyah, can't stand seeing Money's paws dirty so she often cleans his paws, and also bathes him. 
Money is hyper active and often gives people mini heart attacks by randomly staying still, and in less than a nanosecond, he pounces towards you. According to Fiyah, once, she was brushing her teeth and all of the sudden, Money appeared and pounces towards her. Fiyah immediately climbed up onto the sink and stayed there, afraid that Money playfully and yet painfully scratch her. 
After watching The Girl with A Dragon Tattoo (Not a family movie, recommended to you if you're at least mature enough and probably fifteen years and older, and perhaps watch it with friends or alone, but just...not a family type of movie), we waited for our transports and our mums to pick us up and we played with Money after Wiagil drove away in her white car! 
Me and Kristen and also Fiyah (But she played with her Nikon most of the time all through) took weeds and small plants and made Money chase it. Money playfully tried to catch the weeds and branches, and sometimes-halfway, he suddenly turns around and up and down and jump around wildly, as if he has been crucio-ed (A Harry Potter language). And that, freaked us out the most! Electrified cat! Haha, just joking.
Money reminds me of an Abyssinian cat. Abyssinian cats are most well-known for their energetic and extremely active characteristic. They're friendly and get along very well. Sociable cats, I would say. 
So, Money MADE MY DAY!
I can't wait to play with him again?
Scary moment of me today: Just in time where Money was eyeing me and Kristen, which means he was readying himself to leapt onto our feets, my mum's car turned into the drive way. Just as Kristen got away and leaped towards the house, Money leapt towards me and luckily, I GOT AWAY.
Mini heart attacks.
I thought I was gunna die and assumed that Money was going to scratch my feet until it bleed! 

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

This afternoon at five after my piano lesson, my mum took a one minute drive to drop me at Coffee Bean where I would have a heavy snack time with Kristen, Karen and Eunice. I ate Chicago cheesecake and drank Caramel. The Caramel shake was extremely sweet and sugary! I always feel guilty whenever I eat or drink food/drinks that are over my sweet-food-limit. My brain gives me the signal like, "Hey you, you're gonna get diabetes." -.-
But I didn't finish the drink anyway. 
By the way, I'd love to thank Eunice's mother for paying for our snacks. 
We were sort of crazy and nutty there. Especially when me and Karen recalled singing Glad You Came by The Wanted and swapping and changing the lyrics a month ago during April. It was all due to a gathering and Karen had to be 2 hours and 30 minutes late due to her tuition and I was teasing her for being late! 

L to R: Karen, Me, Eunice & Kristen.

                                     

Behind Sea View Hotel,
next to Coffee Bean. 

Credits to Kristen for taking
this photo.

Behind Sea View Hotel.
Get it why it's called "SEA VIEW"?
:D

I like this photo the most!

After having a bloated tummy, the four of us took a short-cut to the beach by entering Sea View Hotel and entering the beach from the back door. We didn't really stepped into the shore, we just stood at those palm trees randomly and pose on the sidewalks when Karen, Eunice and Kristen use their phones to take photos of themselves and of the four of us. Now they have the guts to do that! Picture themselves in front of public! Girls and guys nowadays. I never do that alone in public, unless it comes to photos with friends. But I still love them! 

I'm going to miss Eunice like hell because she mentioned that it would be about 80-90% that she will migrate to Canada this June. If it isn't this coming Summer month, then it would be by next year of next two years. Hopefully, oh please, let her stay in Brunei longer. We need to create more awesome memories and moments together!

That's all about our sweet snack time in Coffee Bean. :) Thanks for contributing your time to read this entry, bloggers!

 

Fate/Zero Episode 20

Oh no! A few more episodes until the end of this amazing anime series! I'm going to miss it so much! My Sundays are going to turn out less exciting than it used to be when you were still streaming with spoilers and exciting upcoming episodes, Fate/Zero. Well, here I present 6 snapshots of the episode premier! :))

Am I the only one who thinks that Waver looks like a girl in the image above? 

And something tells me that Irisviel is going to die pretty soon D": Sadly, according to what my sister mentioned, everyone in this show died except for Waver (Spoiler: His life was spared by Gilgamesh.) Don't blame me if the news turned out to be false, anyway. Teehee. 

So, here is the episode premier! Exciting right? :)

Hi Love.

My tempted brain had forced me to ditch studying and visit my Facebook, blog, and listen to songs via Youtube (I don't download songs, I simply listen to them on Youtube). Haha, how gigabyte-savvy am I? Just kidding. I haven't used the laptop for the past two days and I feel incomplete and empty. Quite a load of Chinese homeworks that I have to quicken my pace to complete them all because by tomorrow I need to submit all the assignments for the past month or two that I have ignored and pushed aside. Thank God I finished all of them today, except for the poem. Oops, I guess I'll just ditch it. Because, dear laptop, you know I love you more. 
Anyway, these days had been typical and usual ones. The only unusual thing is that I'm surfing to Instagram often because while I finish up writing my unfinished (But they are finished now! (: ), I use my IPad to use an English-Chinese/ Chinese-English dictionary app, and it's really, really useful! I don't have to invite my friends Sonia and Natasha to come over to my house and finish up Chinese essays together while they have to help me most. And it covers a lot of our time! Now at least I can help myself, even if some of my grammar aren't accurate or specific enough. 
Okaay, now I'm having this weird and envious feelings towards a friend. Well, she isn't a friend actually, we've never met in real life. It's just that my crazy best friend is best friends and tuition mates with her. And that girl, on the other hand, is best friends with my best friend as well! Apparently, this girl is pretty and very friendly to people. She's also kawaii and seems smart and popular. Aaagh! Like my Facebook status said, "When you envy this perfect girl even though deep down she's imperfect just like the rest but you just deny the fact and you continue envying her for no bad intention nor for no good reason." 
Sigh, Mei Lin, wake up! What were you saying again? Haha. 
Dangnabbit, it's 9.47 pm. Please pause time for me! :D....
--Request failed-- D:
True scenario ;) anyway...
That was pretty random but true and applies to all of us including you guys anyway! Haha. Heart to Heart by 4Minute and Shady Girl by Sistar is really good although it may sound kiddish and childish and girly. It's not that girly, actually. By the way, check out a cover on It Girl by Jason Chen and Megan Nicole. The cutest thing of the music video is when the song goes like "I just wanna rock all night long..." and Jason is holding a...rock? HAHAHAH that was so adorable, seriously! They look so cute and matching together! Naawww! Hahahaha!
That's all for a typical, lazing Wednesday, I suppose?
Goodnight- Although it may seem way too early for you to go to bed, to those coffee drinkers and midnight owls.

Fate/Zero Episode 19

Poor Kiritsugu, all the way since his childhood he had lived a sad, miserable life up till' now. First, witnessing his close friend and perhaps his first 'crush' Shirley becoming a vampire and watching the whole town he once lived in peace burn to shreds. He also killed his own father to prevent him from continuing his research on the Dead Apostles (vampires, stuff like that...), to prevent more deaths of innocent people. 
And in this episode, he had killed Natalia. I liked Natalia. She was a good character, a strong and confident one too. 
The episode begins with Kiritsugu (maybe in his teenage years) waking up with bandages around his ribs and chest as he moans in pain. Natalia stood beside him smoking and told him that she powdered some of his ribs and put the parts into a total of 66 bullets. She told Kiritsugu that his 'origin' will materialize in anything shot by the certain bullet. 
The episode then shows Kiritsugu's childhood spent with Natalia after the incident in Amarigo Island, where the whole tiny town became full of ghouls or so-called vampires (Watch the previous episode to kill your curiosity). It also shows some scenes where Kiritsugu and Natalia work as a team to assassinate some dude. It also presses on Kiritsugu's life growing up with Natalia. 
Okay, so this is where things get interesting.
Natalia is tracking down a mage named Odd Vorzak. 
Odd Vorzak uses 'bee familiar's to raise his number of ghouls. Yes, with those killer bees stinging humans, turning them into ghouls. When one gets bitten by another ghoul, he/she will instantly become one too. Gross, right? Yeaaah. 
Apparently, they have tracked him town and in four days' time he would be taking a flight from Paris to New York. Most likely he had some allies he eagerly had to meet in New York. Kiritsugu was given a task to eliminate all the allies after tracking them down in New York while Natalia will do the job to get rid of Vorzak. 
In the flight, Natalia chose an empty seat behind Vorzak and placed a spell on Vorzak's seat that would connect to him, and kill him. Easily, Vorzak is dead.

Vorzak must have kept his bees in a suitcase and must have checked them in. Like Natalia said, it's impossible he kept his bees in a suitcase in the overhead compartment. 
Meanwhile, Natalia somehow managed to sneak down into the compartment where they keep checked-in bags and suitcases. She identified Vorzak's and killed all the bees he had kept hidden all the while. Thinking she had eliminated all the bees, she felt glad as a thought-to-be-difficult task turned out to be easy peasy. 
Natalia was dead wrong.
Vorzak not only kept the bees in his suitcase, but inside his body as well.
So when Natalia discovered that the whole plane is turned into a bloody place full of ghouls, she fought her way into the cockpit with the cockpit door locked and secured, and flew the plane. 
Kiritsugu knew if Natalia landed the plane, more people would be turned into ghouls.
Without Natalia knowing, Kiritsugu carried a missile weapon with him as he boarded a speed boat, at dawn right before sunrise. According to calculations, he knew the flight Natalia is on would cross the river the speedboat is now on. When the flight was identified up in the sky, Kiritsugu fired.
Natalia is dead and gone, just that way. She had sacrificed her life, without knowing though.
That explains why Kiritsugu was never happy. Poor kiddo. Poor guy, I mean. 
Sigh =n= Why did Natalia have to die? 

Fate/Zero Episode 19 Premier- Where Justice Is Found

I have seen the episode premier photos a few days ago but I was preoccupied by some other activity so I only made time for now to post them! Sorry if you guys had to wait for a longer time! D:

Honestly, come to think of it, Kiritsugu was quite good looking when he was younger.But, oh well, I still prefer Lancer! Haha. Too bad he's dead. Mehh =n= . Anyway, this episode focuses on Kiritsugu's background, just like the previous one. But according to what my sister said, this episode's far more interesting. The episode's out on Nicovideo now and I'm waiting for it to load. Promise I'll post an entry about this latest episode either today or Monday or Tuesday, when Random Curiosity releases the images. 

I Could Fly :D

Goodness! I feel so glad! I'm full of excitement and anticipation right now. There's an upcoming marathon in the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan (an hour and a half's drive away from here) that will start at Waterfront, on the 8th of July.
Students participating will be put into Category F. There are nine categories so far, ranging from different ages and abilities.
Wanna hear the most exciting part? Top ten runners ranging from Category A to F will get a trophy and hamper, plus a certificate. Everyone will get finishing medals, as well!
Now, come to think of it, if I ever get Top 10, I'll get a finishing medal, a trophy, hamper and a certificate, and hopefully stand a chance to win something in the lucky draw.
This is so interesting and exciting.
Me, Zhi Shuen and Amanda are really looking forward to this run, which takes place on a Sunday. The bad part is waking up early at probably 3 or 4 am. Grr. But a run's worth it, the rewards are so worthy too! The entry fee for my category is twenty-five Brunei dollars. Not that bad. It won't be a waste of money. Everyone will get finishing medals, right?! *"So much win!" face expression*
Before thinking about all this running and winning and crossing the finish line and receiving a medal and probably others, we have to consult Teacher Joan and tell her about the organisation. I hope only my classmates and I will be participating, I don't want anyone else from the school to join in because then, it would be tougher and harder and double the training schelude in order to beat them.

So, this was the poster of the organisation.

This whole thing is a little more exciting than everything else!

The organizers are so good in making sure that this run is attractive to other people and that they want to gain more participators. The prizes are just too good to be true! Runs organised in the Belait District aren't as good enough. Top 10 or Top 5 winners will only get goody items like a tee shirt and a bag, or some pair of sport shoes that doesn't even fit your size, which is a waste, unless you give it away to someone who fits in them perfectly and is seeking a pair of sports shoes. Sometimes, you just get a lame stereo set where you don't even need it or use it. My friend Patricia and her sister Stephanie got two stereo sets, once. Patricia's a runner and she was disappointed when they were no medals attained.

Anyway, may this run be a fun and delightful and fulfilled one!

Aah, I'm blogging during my ICT lesson again!

SISTAR

Hey guys!
Have you heard of the Korean girl band called SISTAR? The band name may sound cheesy and childish but I'm really into their songs! They sound great even though they're not the best girl band in Korea. They are four members of the band:

Bora	보라	Yoon Bo-ra	윤보라	January 30, 1990 (age 22)
Hyorin	효린	Kim Hyo-jung	김효정	January 11, 1991 (age 21)
Soyu	소유	Kang Ji-hyun	강지현	February 12, 1992 (age 20)
Dasom	다솜	Kim Da-som	김다솜	May 6, 1993 (age 19)

Omigod! I just realised it's Dasom's birthday only three days ago. By the way, I can see that Hyorin is the most famous among their band due to her great voice. But that doesn't mean that Bora, Soyu and Dasom stink. I find them all talented (and drop dead pretty T.T ) in their own styles and ways. 
Their recent release, Alone, is currently the song that I'm addicted to listening. I used to love their song Ma Boy and How Dare You, but I got easily bored after listening to these two songs non-stop all the while whenever I use my laptop. But that was months ago. 

                                         

They're many other songs by them that aren't bad at all, such as Push Push and So Cool. But I'm not really into them. Recently, I started liking Lead Me. Try listen to it, at first, I thought it has some similarities to their song Ma Boy but it was far, far different. Many people are comparing their song Alone to a band called 4minute's song Volume Up. I only watched and listened to one-third of the video a few days ago because I suddenly remembered that I had something urgent to do. I find the beginning of the video creepy and weird, but that's just because I haven't got used to it. Maybe I'll try to listen to it again.

Anyway, my favourite member is Bora because she's so kawaii! I came across a video of the four best friends practising their dancing skills for their performance of Alone and at the end of the video, Bora shouted "KYAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Many Youtubers are complaining that this is sex appeal and that Korean singers spend more than half of their singing career caring about their looks. Look, I know that many Koreans go for plastic surgeries to have better looks, but why bring in the sex appeal topic? At least their videos aren't like those American videos. But anyway, I still appreciate their music. I just love their songs!

This was the video where Bora shouted "KYAAH!" :DD By the way the video's five minutes long.
