Tornado fever..





And original MTV 情孤單.愛認命 {lyrics} by 詹雅雯


This post is not about anime, but on a super long Taiwan soap opera drama series - 台湾龙卷风 - Taiwan Tornado. I won't think I would be attracted, and many times it is horribly draggy, but strangely I am hooked! 不思議だ!

And here is my favourite actress from the show - 方岑! I almost never associate with antagonists but she is just so pretty and brilliantly evil! Hmmmmmm or maybe its because just before Maggie died in the show, she looks so pitiful in her wedding dress - that made me ache.. But the producers still can have her "identical" sister carry on with the show to exact vengeance! Muhaha! She's invincible!

Jabra STONE


Oh dear, I am so sorry this blog looks dead. Not for anybody's sake, but really this is some kind of diary (public) I've been keeping (thats what I initiallly started it for), that I can after 10, 20 years later, have some form of memories. But as with every 'life'/'organism', there is its ups/downs, evolution, reaching its peak, then extinction. Sad, I guess it is very very common after some time, because of everyone's most popular excuse, NO TIME, which many blogs die from. And the second most popular excuse is 'novelty lost'. I am suffering from both :)

But oh well I decided to write today.

This bluetooth headset looks nice, I've not gotten to own a bluetooth headset yet, probably not really necessary. And for every additional electronic device u bring on the road, one more worry to keep them 'charged up'. Not so much of convenience, I see it more of a fashion accessory. And they all look so generic nowadays on the streets that this one particularly caught my eye when I saw it...

Facebook fakes


I smiled when I saw this, because I did something similar before for an event.. ha.. One of my proudest moments - how I admired that it look eeriely real, too bad it is a little private(and boring) to put out for everyone to see... just needs some simple html coding knowledge






And...






WindowsPhone7 is upon us ( for quite some time now )


Really? LOL

Twitter out of captivity...



What can I say? LOL!

A Japanese journalist freed over the weekend by captors in Afghanistan managed to send two Twitter messages before his release while teaching a captor how to access the Internet on a new cell phone, he said Tuesday.

Gundam00 and AFA X


Wow I've not updated for a few weeks now!




Wha! Singapore is getting some unfair advantage that might cause non-sg fans cringe in jealousy. As if annual AFA (I think it should be called Anime Festial Singapore instead) held here is not enough, we have screening of "Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - A Wakening of the Trailblazer". "For the first time ever in Singapore’s history, you will be able to catch the same time screening of an Anime movie on the same day as Japan!" And from the same site, very likely "The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi" soon, too!

We should treasure this opportunity to show support, if we want more anime movies coming to our shores. When they(industry) sees a demand, everything is easier. Anyway, the promoter for this event is our poor ODEX.

In a way, Singapore is special. Only in SG would you find a company being criticized/slammed/received-death-threats/site-hacked for protecting its own interests. And the all pirates acted like they are in the right! It is like e.g. after a bank robbery, criticizing the police for violence/human-rights-violation when the bank robbers put up a struggle. I mean man, then what do you expect them to react? They bought the licence to the shows, and everybody is downloading off torrents. Irony that we are holding the AFA annually. HAHaha..






And more AFA X updates! Yoshiki-san really brought the whole JAM PROJECT here! The performing artists just kept increasing every year!

The pricing of tickets are out, and AFA facebook says it should be available for sale in a few days time. Time to go broke

Mikuni's concert!


photo from Mikuni-southeast-asia facebook



写真禁止だ! So like any good boy, I didn't take any. なんか 悔しい!


tickets!


The place


From the videos I saw on youtube, I always thought Mikuni-san is the more conservative type, then at the concert, I had a nice surprise! She was jumping around, full of energy, like a teen idol on stage, striking cute poses as she sings, capturing everyone's attention! Mikuni-san 萌え, 可愛い! 最高!

Songs that I can remember that she sang:

Alone Gensomaden Saiyuki- 2nd Ending

Hare Hare Yukai Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu

Mou Ichido Kimi Ni Aitai Full Metal Panic TSR

Zangoku tenshi no Thesis Do I need to state which anime is it from?

Kimi Ga Iru Kara (君がいるから) Fairy Tail 4th ending theme song



Wow A full list of the songs she sang during the concert!

Oh yah, this post refreshes my memory, she did Megumi-san(latest singer)'s Ai.Oboeteimasuka. Which....ahem... still liked the Megumi's version a little better. Maybe it's just habitual..hehe


My signed Mikini poster ゲット!




And photos that are up for grabs at the concert..







Not too related stuff


Aya Hirano VS Konata- Sore ga ai deshou (LOL)




Ai Oboeteimasuka Variations : What’s Your Favourite? (The jap characters on the site is messed up)



Wow I found a video of mikuni-san "cosplaying" Ayumi. ha!




Mikuni's new ANISON remix album. Quite a few of the album's songs are performed by Mikuni at the concert...



There is a "only my railgun!" Momoi Halko ver. But no one can rival Yoshino-san in railgun! Muhaha!

Combo post


What is a combo post? You are about to find out..




Inception



Almost all the dream/brain concepts I can take it, I mean they sound logical. And to any movie, it is Realism, Reaism and Realism. There must be the click to the viewer, than the show is making sense, even if it is sci-fic, and talking einstein-speak. So how do you steal something in someone's mind? Well you enter their dreams! Fair enough. But the show fails to, didn't explain how the device that they use to connect dreams together, work. None, no explaination at all. They could have 'talked-cock' at least, rather than leaving it blank, which kept bugging me after the show. Second, if the plot is inside a dream, I expect something wierd-ier to happen. After all, it's not reality. Gun battles are too common! Can't they come out with having super powers like in the Matrix?



The Last Airbender



Straight after the movie, I dashed home to go online to take an IQ test, and crap my IQ really dropped. Then I pulled out the YOGA mat to control my breathing and blood pressure. Breathe, Victor, breathe. I told myself, concentrating on breathing. Which is followed by weeks of psychiatric therapies. Ok, I didn't do all that. But..

For years, I've not seen such a terrible movie. The dialogue are cheesy, to the bones! Halfway through the movie, I am enduring, I really wanted to walk out, but the critic in me wanted to finish the show out of fairness. The special effects, are wondrous-ly wasted on this film! If anyone wanted to see (contact)太极拳 or 洪拳, I have several of Jet Li's flicks I can lend you, most of them available in stores too. Is it bad acting of the in-experienced cast? For a movie to go that bad, I would say the bulk of the responsibility goes to the director. I have seen actors go from good for the first, then bad for the second. The reason I could come up with, is probably that a good director will know how to access and capitalise on the actor's abilities, devise the best way to film him, and the rest of the movie.

At a time the movie industry is fighting an uphill battle against rampant piracy, this just doesn't gives the people the impression that the industry is in dire straits, and another reason that movies are not really worth our money.



Salt



A little predictable, nonetheless, still thrilling :) Angelina Jolie works her charm around this one as well. When you have a plot that flows/fits quite neatly with some real history, congratulations, you passed the first test. The scary thought that the movie presents is how many spys are among us, constantly reminding us how powerful brain-washing is, post-911. I mean everybody has a choice, or looks like they have. When you get to a Colonel, would you still serve as a spy and kamikaze yourself(volunturily) when the organisation requires?

One of the more fun stuff one can look forward to is the ingenuity of SALT. Just one person, no team, no help, she can assasinate a president. Even a locked-down bunker, she can get herself inside! Wow! But it does inspire us that no situation is really hopeless



Liar's Game



When it is a tragic ending, ppl complain. A happy one also complain. Halfway throughout the TV series, it is widely portrayed that Nao-chan will and have to win the game. So the formidable team of top-class-Liar and 馬鹿正直-ばかり! (Shinichi-kun and Nao-chan) blazes on the final, and with some really unexpected help from Yokoya-kun. If he is interested in the 5 billion yen, he would have entered the game himself, but he gave up? But on the other side, the show does a great job, leading to everyone voting red apples in the end. It still bugs me, if realistically and logically, can this phenomenon really happen? That everybody trusts each other and votes red? All it takes is one traitor amongst them, like 'mushroom-head', and all trust is back to rock bottom. Remember this is the final round, all the contestants(that are left) are supposed to be inhuman, cold-blooded.



Phua Chu Kang The movie



Phua Chu Kang movie is another movie (after Airbender) where I don't know where the hell are the QC ppl, and what the hell is the director doing. I expected more from our Gurmit. The dialogue is like a sg-movie-from-ten-years-ago. Many of it ended promptly(very unnaturally), others don't make sense! To think that movie-makers are taking a back-step after all these years! It is not just the plot(which by the way is also horrible). If it is just another episode from the show, it might have been ok, but when we are talking a movie, you can't have thAT standard! The C-class jokes from the cast still works for me however, and is the saving grace of the show. How I miss Jack Neo now.
