Live it Right

Life is about making Something out of Nothing at all. If you're able to do that, you're able to do Everything.

Painted Life

Life is like a flower, painted to perfection, yet at the end it wilts, fragile as it is, only the stem left unbroken.

Fallen Leaves

Like the autumn leaves, we fall at times, only to find ourselves blown away by the wind, and thus we reach yet another place.

Fragile:Life

*All about a book until the blue letters.

It actually took me a month and a week to finish this novel. 

Gosh, time really do fly...I thought I cud finish it within a week, I tried. 
It gets more and more dull as I turn the pages.
Not that it really is dull. Just out of my imaginary. 
It started to become like a world of Harry Potter, too many details, less on the story. 
So many description of how beautifully the Fairy world is. 
Except with my limited imagination, I cudn't picture it all. 
That's y I dun read HP in the 1st place. I don't get it. Until you show me the picture, literally. As in the movie.

Eh well, which novel am I talking about?
It's the Wicked Lovely saga, the 3rd book: Fragile Eternity. 
Let's just hope the 4th installment that awaits: Radiant Shadows can redeem itself.
Until then, let's make a list why this ain't better than the 1st two books in the series.

*Personal Opinion: May contain spoilers.
1. I think the very element that lack in this novel is the
Anxiety we felt for in the previous books. The Summer Queen's lover Seth going missing doesn't really make us want to know whatever happens. Surely, I'm fond of that guy, but he and Keenan? I can't even choose between the two.
2. And there's all this jealousy, and Keenan acting like how a mortal guy would have acted in order to win his Queen's heart, he's immortal, he acting like a mortal guy isn't really charming. Not at all.
3. I can't really say much about this, because there really isn't much to talk about. When you get to half of the pages, it's all Seth being in Faerie, without the knowledge of Aislinn, leaving her being heartbroken and all, and turns to Keenan for comfort. Sounds familiar? Ofcoz it is, it's like a typical teenage love story. It's not suppose 2 be. They're the
Summer King and Queen. Getting all childish because of love...even thou to be fair, that's what Human does, they're not Human. Lol.
4. The thing that I find interesting instead is Niall of the Dark Court, was a good man, but as he became the Dark King, his presence is both Dangerous and Intoxicating, that's how it felt like, since the first two books revolves all around
Aislinn, Keenan, and Seth. I thought Niall deserves more coverage, but sadly, still not enough.
5. Another is
Sorcha, The Unchanging Queen, she's an interesting character. Except for her idiotic sister Bananach with such silly name. Seriously? Banana-ch...lol...How do you even pronounce it?
6. Well, I do like most of the other names in the book thou, they all mean sth, most of it of Irish origin.
*Summer King Keenan: Ancient, Distant
*Summer Queen Aislinn: Dream
*The Unchanging Queen Sorcha: Bright, Radiant, Light
*Seth: Appointed
*Dark King Niall: Champion
*Winter Queen Donia: World Mighty
7. That's all I can say about it, even thou it took me awhile to finish it. I have a habit of collecting what I started. As in the series of a novel. If I got the 1st book, I'll get it until the last, even if it starts to get boring. I had to find out what happens in the end no matter what.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enough with the book, a friend of mine just told me his mum passed away a week ago. He's a malay guy, his mum was chinese-muslim. Think I'm gonna write about "Death and what follows" later. Can't really think or say much now.

Anyway, the news is in Nan Yang, I juz google it, took me awhile to find it since it's chinese, didn't know his mum was that young, she's only 42. It was an accident, some orang besar's son punya pasal I thk. Well, juz hope they'll get their answers.

He called me, but didn't really know what to say, I mean. well. Nothing I say will bring his mum back. If it were me, I'll cry non-stop, probably became numb. It's like the world just falls apart that instant. You just don't know what else to do anymore. He's quite the sentimental guy, if only crying help washes away the pain. Does it?

Only time will tell.
R.I.P may mean Rest.In.Peace to the dead. It might as well mean Rip.It.aPart to the living.
Poppies generally signifies Eternal Sleep and Rememberance 
Red Poppies signifies sacrifice and condolence, for his mum and for a friend.

PS: The only thing that we can never control, is Death.

21:Days

Been 21 Days[3 Weeks] since I stopped working. Everyday is kinda the same thing I do. Haha. Not that I mind, but I ought to take care of my eyes better, since most of the times I'm focusing on things.

Well, wanna know what I've been up to? Hmm, pretty much what I talked about previously, downloaded a number of movies and dramas, everyday I'll watch chinese, korean, japanese, english or whatsoever language available, sometimes on the com, sometimes I just check out what's on TV, mostly on the com really, ah, and I've just completed a novel. Took me another week to finish that, that's quite the speed I could manage, considering I like to read lying down, which is rly BAD for my eyes, hee. And damn I hate the lightning in my room, always so shadowy, this is the problem when the bulb is too high.

Neway, well, I kinda STILL in a drowsy mode, even thou I slp more these days. Nth seems 2 catch my interest pretty much, I dun even wanna go out except for the movies and tea probably. Other than that, badminton, cycling, can't find the spirit to do that, I just wanna stay at home and sleep. Yea rite, I dun even slp in the noon, I juz slp late at nite, which is so bad, trying 2 slp earlier these days.

Anyhow, I ought to find something else to do than facing the com and books all day, which rly strain my eyes. Dun wanna end up like an Otaku do I? Won't be a Hikikomori thou. That's just sux.

Hmm, mum's bday 2moro, got her a Kerongsang, for her to wear with her kebaya, probably shud get her one too, do recall she cudn't quite fit in hers anymore. Heh, cost us RM120. Hev 2 cum out RM30 oni thou, hee. no idea if I'm going out 2moro, sis x balik, apa buat eh, hmm, she alwiz xnak beli cake one, but I wan eat leh. =P. Heh well. It's her bday lor.

Oh, I'm going 4 [my mum's family side] dinner gathering tonight. Like, so boring. Will bring my novel along, hehe, closing to a half, my tag along novel, the one I put in the bag, then I can start reading another one. HAHA. Gonna get another 3, I nid 2 get 2 popular~~!!! Yatta~ Well, I find reading my novel while waiting for time really help me get rid of the boredness. And which could help me avoid all those conversations I juz duno how 2 answer, or maybe I juz grew tired of it. It's the same thg all the time isn't it. How old are you?[After SPM? After STPM?] What you're doing now?[Work? Study?] Where are you going?[Uni? Work?]...sigh, won't you ever get tired of it?

Hmm, I understand people's courtesy of asking, or perhaps trying to be nice and friendly and all with me. But I'm not that kind of person to appreciate gestures that by the end of the day you won't even remember speaking to me. I hate that, hate that alot. So don't act all goody-goody and friendly with me when you're just gonna talk to me one moment, and forget me the next. Coz I hate doing that myself, so mayb it's better not to even get started. I'm tired of saving phone numbers, and having to delete it after some time, relatives, friends, doesn't matter. Ofcoz, I'm talking about Hi-Bye friends, not the friends I've shared so many memories with, even if we hardly see each other now. But I remember, those days we're friends. =)

Here's a phrase from the book I'm reading, which I find rather amusing as I turn the pages. Eventhou I was quite skeptical since A Place Called Here doesn't really have much depth in it. And PS, I Love You, well, duno about the novel, the movie I can't even sit and finish it, cause it makes me slpy, lol. neway, the title is If You Could See Me Now by Cecilia Ahern:

Children are the ones that know exactly what's going on in the world. They see more than adults, believe in more, are honest and will always, always let you know where you stand. Children learn much more, far more quickly than adults. Because they're open-minded. Because they want to know and they want to learn.

Adults, think they know it all. They grow up and forget so easily and instead of opening their minds and developing it they choose what to believe and what not to believe. You can't make a choice on things like that: you either believe or you don't. That's why their learning is slower. They are more cynical, they lose faith and they only demand to know things that will help them get by day by day. They've no interest in the extras. But, it's the extras that make Life.

Somehow, there's a truth in the phrase above. That as we age, we get by from being "innocent" to "ignorant". How foolish of us to think we are wise, when it is the wise who regards themselves as fools. Always learning, always pushing the boundaries, raising the bar. Never satisfied, always searching for something more divine than what lays ahead.

And here's a couple of quotes from the movie Cracks. Poem can be found here. The main character, which is Eva Green[Casino Royale Bond Girl], plays a cracked up teacher to a number of girls in a boarding school. Like I said, she's cracked up, and the story slowly unfolds to show how she is not who she seems to be, and she that isn't as bad as she seem to be, and there are times, when the good shown are scarier than the bad shown.

-I don't think it's wrong to want to know about the real world. We can't stay pure forever.

-You can achieve anything you want. The world is yours for the taking. All you need is to desire for it. Nothing is impossible for you.

Anyway, kinda figure what else I can do already, hehe, mayb I can brush up on my japanese, or mayb korean, haha, nt that it's rly necessary since I'm dun speak either languages, it's just fun to learn sth, n ther's sth I wanna learn, keke. Just a click away~! =)

Here's the novel I've just completed. No Time for Goodbye. It's published in 2007, and you know what, it only cost me RM5. Muahaha, damn, I love stock clearance. 1 of the 5 books I sapu last year when I went to Klang. Hehe. Now that I've read 4 of it, 1 more thriller to go. ^^

Okay, about this story, so much different than the thriller that I usually read, which always start off with either a crime scene or a dead body, yea well, this, start off with a missing family, vanished, like they're wiped off from the surface of the earth, never to heard off, even until the center of the book, instead of getting some answers, you get more questions in your head, what and what is happening? But that's the fun thing, this leads to that, and that leads to that, eventually, tragedy strikes. Interesting, never heard of this author, perhaps I might get a look at his other works, which seems to be rather a set of case of missing peoples.

A novel that is a page turner, but however quick I want to get to the last page. I'm just the kind of person who rather takes it slowly. You'll miss out all the fun doing everything in a rush afterall. So what's the hurry? =) 

PS: Life is not Black and White, but a varied of Colours lay out for you to Discover.

2 Movies:2 Novels

2 Movies:

1*The Lovely Bones[Peter Jackson]
+Since no one wanted to accompany me to watch this movie, I downloaded it. Lol, save my money also, really going broke soon, and I realize I really need to get 3 more Novels!!! Yikes, which will cost me another RM100, good for my dad thou, since he get to claim tax reduction, no good for me thou, since it's my money. ><"...

Next time anybody ask me what I want, might as well tell them I want novels. Haha, damn, I've just finished up one novel, faster than my usual record, and I'm craving for the sequel already!!! Ish, xleh tahan, hand itchy, nasib got all the shows for me, otherwise I'll go finish up all the books ad, haha. Ok, enuf wif that, now back to the main point.

My Opinion: It made me Laugh, it made me Cry, a very Simple, yet Deep in content story. Told from the main character, which is technically dead, telling her story from Heaven, Susie Salmon acted by Saoirse Ronan, which is quite an actress for her age, as seen in "Atonement". She reminds me of Lindsay Lohan[In Parent Trap]. Hope she'll never end up as her thou.

And hmm, the story, eventhou you know who the Murderer is right from the beginning, somehow you just have to continue watching it, see where and how it progress, a risk in letting us know who the main protagonist right from the beginning, but you'll start to understand that's how it's supposed to be told.
It just made me think of life from both sides of the mirror. The one standing behind the mirror couldn't see the one standing infront, vise versa the one standing in front the mirror only sees their own reflection.

I can't really explain it, but Life and Death, is like two sides of the mirror, both looking back at each other. Confusing I know, perhaps you should just watch the movie then you'll understand. Or maybe it's just me thinking that way. =P

Neway, really a movie worth your time. It affects you emotionally, and rationally, what or how you'll feel if such events occur in your life. Again, you'll never Know until it does. Thought of a quote: "We're ignorant people who believe ugly things will never happen in our life until it knocks on our door and everything goes down the drain."

Every time you read the newspaper, accidents, fire, flood, it's like you'll think how unlucky those ppl is, how lucky u r, thinking it'll never happen to you, bcoz ugly things dun cum to us. Those ppl 2, used to thk the same. I cry when I read the News, I'm that emotionally sentimental. I cry when I read about Death, it simply is 2 much 2 deal wif even if I may not know who are they. Somehow, I share the grief of their love ones.

Perhaps they're in a better place. But losing them is a whole different meaning altogether. Sometimes, it's in mourning that they continue to live on. At least in our hearts. It's not really a bad thing, it just teaches us how to deal with it, how to live loving them without them by our side.

You never know, what will Happen Tomorrow. It's Important to know that you're still Alive Today.

PS: As expected from Peter Jackson. Nevertheless, a good story told. =)

2*Beauty on Duty[Wang Jing]
+Heard it's a HK version of Miss Congeniality, the one acted by Sandra Bullock and got me laughing non-stop, love her shows, hehe, she's careless and funny, neway, I for one do not go to the cinemas to watch HK comedy movies, rarely, unless I find the story interesting, other than that, I'll always skip it. 

My friend ask me to accompany him, his treat, so I went with him lor, eventhou I got a really bad headache, budak tu, last minute my other fren pop out, then I just say if got ppl accompany you no need to ask me ler, coz I rly wanted 2 stay at home lor, haha, I'm a sucker ok? I do this kinda thgs a lot, if they need my company I'll accompany them, not every single ones of my friends thou, =P.

My Opinion: I kinda half-expected it to be a copy cat of Miss Congeniality, but nth like it at all.  You won't even link the two movies, even thou ther's a similiarity in the plot. Yet, the movie sure is full of laughter, made me laugh all the way, but still, it's still not Cinema-worthy in my mind.

It's funny har? Considering the fact that I'll go to the cinema to watch Malaysia and Singapore movies, just not HK comedies. I don't know, it's always the kind of movies that I'll rather or might as well watch at home, not the Cinemas. Even thou I luv watching Charlene Choi's movie. Still~

Eh well, to be fair enough, there's pretty girls and a handsome dude in it. Which is really rare in HK dramas or movies. Haha...xD...he's so cute...don't know much about him thou, name William Chan Wai-Ting. Details no idea, 1st time see him oso. Haha..=P

Anyhow, I'm so gonna watch "Being Human", which I'm pretty sure after the "Jack Neo" scandal, many will anti it, I duno, seems to me ppl alwiz do that, even thou I too show no respect for him anymore, but his talent is unquestionable. And I'm rooting for Mark Lee and Yeo Yann Yann anyway, so it would be unfair 2 them, if bcoz of 1 person, you missed them in action. As the tagline says "What comes around, goes around." He's probably in remorse right now. Money: The cause of Infidelity. “没钱,没本事出轨”

Okayy~Enuf wif that, the way I write is even a hundred times the amount of words that comes out of my mouth, nono, make that a thousand. Haha. Okay, let's go to the novels now.

2 Novels:

1*Real World by Natsuo Kirino
+A Japanese crime thriller novel translated into English. A crime thriller that does not actually features the crime scenes, but more towards the criminal minds of those that got involved with the main antagonist.

 Sypnosis: A story of a guy who killed his mother and ran away, helped by 4 strangers[4 girls that are friends]. However far fetched and illogical it may sound. With the fact that it's really ridiculous for such events to really happen in this world. I simply couldn't put down the novel until the end of the page. The reason is simple, you get into the thoughts of 5 different individuals and see life from different views altogether.

However fiction it may be, it contains a sense of reality. That those Scary and Ugly ppl really do exist in this world. Which still haven't got the chance to write the poem, titled, "The Other Side"...hmm, will thk of sth. Hehe..

For those that watch "Criminal Minds". They always mentioned something about when you got into the mind of the Criminals, you get corrupted yourselves....Bcoz in order to understand them, you have to think of yourselves as them, which at the same time, being exposed to corruption. That is when their lives get messed up. Bcoz they had to, and they had learn to, see things from the ugly side. Hence, polluting their once Beautiful sky. The world is how you see it after all.

Another thing is, I see a little bit of me in one of it's character: Kazuko Terauchi. Quote: "I'm this superphilosophical kind of person stuck in a prison of abstract ideas and overpowering emotions, changing day by day, growing more and more complicated and individualistic, something nobody can really comprehend."...posted it on FB bfor, those words hit me. Yet I've decided, to simplify my life. I don't rly nid 2 worry so much do I? Everything will take it's natural course. For now, I'll just leave[live] my life as it is. =)

2*Masquerade[A Blue Bloods novel] by Melissa De La Cruz
+I take back all my words on every other vampire books that I say is the best. This, is the Best. Better than the Best, Better than Twilight!!! Of which I so can't wait about for the Sequel!!! But rly, it's more Immortal than Vampire for this novel. Kinda a Clan that never dies, but, hmm, constantly reincarnating, some sort of vampire but one of the immortals.

For one thing, it doesn't have a brainless Bella in it, duh, and to think one will have start to like Bella, maybe I'll like her, in Breaking Dawn, lol, just like I did reading the novels.

Anyhow. The protagonists and antagonists are both Dashing, even the humans, rooting for the human dude honestly, hope for once instead of falling for the ever Charming Vampire Prince, she'll end up with the Ordinary Mortal instead. Which rly isn't Ordinary, and which rly isn't totally Mortal. Hehe...

Just when you thought you know the story, who the bad guy is, walah!! The author takes you in a roller coaster ride yet again. You couldn't guess who the true guy really is. Who she'll end up with, you just can't wait to find out and yet finding all your guesses wrong again. Highly recommended, for those that love Gossip Girl and Twilight. It's like okay, Rich and Famous Immortals, Lurking in the day, so Openly and living their lives just like the mortals. 

Heh heh, why I write all these even thou no book lovers rly reads my blog? Well, the reason is simple, I'm really forgetful, I'll forget about the story when I read another. But I won't read it twice, because I'll still remember. Just like a movie you watched, but forgot, but when you re-watch, you remember. Get it? =P

Ok then, I guess that's it for today, think I blog for almost 2 hours ad, try 1 hour and a half, haha. Continue blogging and I don't have to take my lunch ad, which xda benda makan pun, mum ask me cook instand noodles nia. Wanna go cook now. Tata ther. =)

PS: I probably shud giv e-books a try, will save a lot of my money, but I rly hate the idea of reading a book from a computer...><". Sigh. But ther's a bunch of books I wanna read, n u can't even get it here. Mayb if I got the time, speaking of which, eek, 4got about my mangas, gonna resume it soon.

199th.Post:Frozen.Tears

Thought I'll save the title for my poem, but I couldn't write it down. Maybe someday, as I said, there's always a chance I'll write on it.

The other day I felt my tears, it's warmth, then I thought, man are warm blooded beings. It's only normal for us to feel warmth, for us to feel the heat, the passion to be alive. It feels good to be ALIVE. Doesn't it? No matter how rocky life might be, or how dark it seems. As long as we believe, there's always hope. As long as we don't quit on ourselves.

For in life. There's no I or Me, only Us. All of us in this together. There's an invisible chain connecting us. One cause lead to the other, and the other lead to another. It's always that way. It'll always be that way. Whatever we decide, might affect another in the chain. So think wisely, and decide accordingly.

This post has little to do with tears. Just wanted to talk about it. And hmm, will write on my Attitude Problem later on. Heck. Hehe, btw, got another novel the other day, currently obsessed with it. But I haven't finish it. Will write on the one I've finished early on. But forgot to mention. The title is Evermore.

"After a horrible accident claims the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know someone's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school, but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste."-Wiki

+Sounds familiar? Haha, it's not blood sucking clan for sure. But surely, the similarities are there to Twilight and other novels alike. Guess I haven't cross over my teenage phase for teen romance and books. Hehe. 


+Seriously, if you're 20 and above, u'll get bored with it already, what with high school, and handsome but dangerous boyfriends. When you get older. That wouldn't be what you want. Even thou I haven't hit that age yet, gonna be soon. But I know so. And you know so. =)

Okay, done with the book, I just discover another lovely chick, haha!! 

Second Dream: Chu Chu in The Storm Warriors.
Li A in Pandamen
Tang Yan, Shanghai, China

Gosh, I didn't realize it's the same girl until I check the internet!! She's so Pretty!! Naturally pretty, I didn't pay attention to her in Storm Riders, bcoz she look normal normal, the hair n the clothes, not attractive. But she looks sophisticated and elegant in Pandamen!!! Love her there...=P

Haha, and here's one I thing I wanna take the chance to talk about. I do judge a book by it's cover. Seriously. So appearance really does matter, the way you bring yourself, I'm not talking about physical looks or what. But the personality. And me for one, DOES not attract people on 1st look. I don't really mind actually. But recently I find out I really got to change for the better of me. Lol.

Ohyea ohyea, n y do we get attracted by pretty things? Hmm, n wot determines the level of prettiness to us? I guess we decide that factor for our own. But for one thing, I love being a girl. Haha, we can play dress up, make up, whatever we like. Ever since I watch "You're Beautiful". I feel so LUCKY I'm a girl. Keke..ss-ing...xD

Oh n btw, obsessed with Lee Hong Ki now...kaka..the CUTE one in You're Beautiful, he is so KAWAII des ka neh!! The leader of F.T. Island. And if you notice, there's normally only one cute guy in korean bands, n it's usually the leader, and they don't even hev 2 go under the knife, if you see 3 cute guys in a band, 2 of them went under the knife...=P

Kla kla, enuf 4 today, sambung when I'm free k?? Time is running out. Aiks aiks..no time no time...nid 2 save time 1st, baru save money...=P..JK, need 2 save both...=D

PS: I Love You. J
