excerpt from my friend's blog
"- ARGHHH L'arc~en~ciel tickets started selling at 10AM and when i tried to buy at 1PM they were ALL SOLD OUT!!!! ARGHHH!!! The agony -_- I see people selling those 8000yen tickets for 19000yen online now at yahoo auctions. DAMN IT!"
:( i also wanna attend the concert... dammit remind me to queue 2 hrs before next year
Watched deathnote movie on tv yesterday (finally)
This is late, but i only watched it yesterday (on tv here in jp)
I hated the show. I was willing to accept a drop in standard compared to the manga, but it was totally below my already lowered expectations.
hmm... okay la, wat u expect for Manga-turned-Movie?
- there were too many unnecessary changes in the opening. would be no probs if they changed for the better, but not so imo. And too many (bad) changes after that too.
changes ok la... Raito's plot for shi0ri's death was not a bad plot twister..
- choice for raito's actor was totally wrong. he's fat-ish, not evil looking or acting evil enough, lacks impact and basically just not convincing as raito.
lol he's not exactly fat but he is not as smart as Raito
- Shiori was garbage. Trash. Worthless. the absolutely puke-inciting romance plotline was UGH. totally off focus, out of point.
lol no romantic cells
- Actress for naomi was a bad choice too. Abit too fat-ish, not sharp enough, lacks impact. I guess she suffers quite alot due to the plot changes too.
i find naomi quite likening
- L was passable. But i think he kinda suffers too cos of the stupid changes and from the unconvincing raito. But he did his role ok i think.
ok, L was quite a good choice... where on earth do u find strange, crazy-looking kids like him?
- Raito's father was passable if u didnt see the manga. But i cant really accept him in the movie cos he's too different from the manga version.
lol different does not mean bad lei, not bad lah
- I thought ryuk was well done. among the lacklustre cast and performances i thought he was one of the better chars.
yeah, ryuk was the best
- I thought misa was the best in the movie although she only had a small role. I think she portrayed misa well, both in looks and in mannerism. Ok maybe i'm biased cos she's so damn pretty. Only complaint is that she has black instead of brown/gold hair, but despite that she comes across as very convincing to me.
ok bah, she never act cute enough
Zhanwei's birthday celebration
hmm... ok upcoming events should only encompass upcoming events... so here's the link to zhanwei's birthday picture album... wy still need to get original from u...

"Bokura No" Excerpt
A: "I have trouble watching action movies. It's not that I don't like exciting battle sequences. It's just that in those movies, most of those scenes feature random people falling victim to what happens. That's not even a problem, either. If those events were real, that kind of stuff would happen. It would be crazy to pretend they wouldn't.
But the people watching the movie don't ever spare a second thought for all of those anonymous extras who die. Instead, they are extremely affected by the death of the main characters. To me, the main character dying, and the poor people who die on the side of the road are the same. They're all people who are living and thinking in a fictional world. There shouldn't be any difference between them. But as long as the hero survives and laughs with the girl at the end, it's a happy ending. And if the hero dies, it's a sad ending. I don't understand how that works. To me, if any single person in the movie dies, it's a sad ending. The only difference between those sad endings, is if the fictional hero ends the movie feeling pain for the fictional masses who die. But that hardly ever happens. Why do the hero-style main characters always end the movie smiling and laughing? Why does the audience think that's a happy ending?"
B: "I think I understand what you mean. What you're saying is also applicable to the fictional bad guys and enemies too, isn't it?"
A: "Yes."
B: "If you assume that movies are made for pure enjoyment, then you'd want them to end happily, even if it is a lie. Even if someone in this fictional world would be crying over what happened, as long as you don't depict it, it doesn't become a problem. It goes unrecognized."
A: "That's what I don't like about it. I think if everyone could normally understand those things, there would be fewer problems in the world. I might be doing the right thing, but the other side might be, too. It might be sad for me, but it might be sad for them, too."
B: "Is that why you can't fight? I see. True, most people tend to side with their in-group, their part of society. They try to assign responsibility for their personal situation and choices to outside influences. People who can't stand in another man's shoes will unconsciously choose to protect their own people. I don't have a problem with that, but it looks like you do. This might surprise you, but soldiers actually think quite a bit about the things you're speaking of.
In your case, there's another world to think about, but for us soldiers, it's another nation... A competing country is the enemy. And especially in today's world, it's quite common to meet soldiers from possible 'enemy' nations. Sometimes you'll even get to meet their families. And then you think, there might come a time when I have to kill this person. There might come a time when this family will hate me, for what I must do. But when that time comes and I'm faced with that choice, I will kill him or her without blinking. Do you know why?
I hate to say this, but what the TV and media tell you is wrong. The value of our lives is not equal. It just isn't true. From a very broad perspective it might be so, but because we all have personal emotions, our individual views are all unequal. Anyone who says they're still the same is making exceptions for their own life. I believe that life is important. Very much so. But there is an order to its importance.
People might be sad when a dolphin dies, but you won't find many who cry when a livestock pig is killed. This is because they assign importance to these things. That's why, when faced with a choice between the death of a friend and the death of a stranger, I will always choose the death of a stranger.
This is rather paradoxical, but all life is a
So if there was you, and another person, and one of you had to die, you would choose yourself. There's nothing that says the other person can't be someone you care about. In that case, I think it says a lot about your good side. But I get the feeling that your viewpoint exists as a reaction to other people, people who don't understand, or even try.
On the surface, my views are the same as those people you hate, but it's not exactly the same. All human beings given life are also burdened with karma and responsibility for how they treat life.
You will not find a single person who lives without stealing the lives of others. We eat plants, and we eat animals. Even Christ and the Buddha survived upon other living beings. You must accept this and understand it before you sit back and glorify life.
Especially now, when surviving today is so simple and matter-of-face, people tend to forget. They forget what it means, to eat a pig. They say all life is equal, but how much life is consumed to keep them alive everyday? This doesn't just apply to other living things. You also can say it about human beings. The fact that you are alive, means that someone may have died. I think you're smart, you understand what this means.
I think that adults should understand and talk about this more, but they're all too concerned with themselves to bother. The reason you're here today, is because you and your ancestors stood atop a mountain of other lives. That is the karma that all living things must bear. I'm not looking down on life at all. I don't think that meaningless killing is a good thing. But I don't think the killing that takes place to keep you and the people you care about alive should be ignored or downplayed, either.
That's why we have to live for the sake of all the lives we've sacrificed. That is the responsibility that all living things must bear. Your life does not belong only to you. It is also the form of the countless lives that have ended to keep you alive. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. You are already supported by sacrifice.
So you should be thankful for that, and use the life you were given to the fullest extent. That karma and responsibility cannot be avoided. And if you say, I'm going to live the easy life, or I didn't want to be born, then you should choose death for yourself. It means you can cut down on the number of lives that will be sacrificed for a wasted life.
Now, to change the topic just a bit, I believe that I've caused a lot of trouble for many people in my life. But I can't make it up to all of them. There are many things you can never take back. But the one thing you can always do in return, is to devote yourself to help someone else as best you can.
I guess, to rephrase that, it's just to live in a way that you can accept and be proud of."

春咲きsentimental
below is an excerpt from the ending of a song that came out awhile ago, decided to write my own translation of its lyrics, because its a rather nice song, with beautifully written words. (no other interpretations)
Plastic Tree - Harusaki Sentimental (youtube)
舞い散る桜で君の顔が見えなくなる
In the twirling and scattering petals of the Cherry Blossom, I lose sight of your face
淡い夢が覚めてくから、毀れるのは涙で~
In the after-wakening from this shallow dream, what that has fallen are tears
鮮やかな色で 音を立てて 桜が咲く
With freshly bright colors... with echoing notes... the Cherry Blossom blooms
大切だった物は全部、この木の下に 埋めていくよ
All that is important to me, underneath this tree, I shall bury it
目の前には、分かれる春
In front of me is the Spring which we went apart
見上げたなら、花降る春
When I look above me, it is a Spring of descending flower
僕の上に 僕の上に そっと・・・
Onto me... (the flowers fall) onto me... softly

waywardness
I do not find it kind, for one to dispense another's request, however impossible and wayward, but presented with humility and sincerity, and made fun of in a condescending manner. I choose to ignore it, and shall offload in this light possible, to quench conflict between my internal resolutions.

strange pieces.
reconstituted.
kakera kakera... I suppose the scatterings form a complete puzzle... But what happens when the pieces of the jigsaw don't fit together... Like the broken colours flooded through the rays off a fallen setting... And the winding music chimes that give rise to no rhythm, hidden beats, and mythical notes.
Why do people talk in circles around their words? I would think that they do not want to be understood. But why even do they communicate? Is it a form of relivation of their thought processes, their inner-pondering? Therefore, they do not want to be understood easily. Strange thoughts, weird emotions, but you might be better off questioning the purpose. No answer to all theorithical possibilities. Random mutterings, it is a psychological examination of a child, when given a picture to sketch, to sketch the pictures and drawings of its thinkings, to put the thoughts into graphical notions. So bio-electrical notions get converted into ink upon paper, crayon upon graphite, heat onto matter.
Inner workings and outer purpose. To which servitude? How can we achieve the balance between selfishness and servitude, pleasure/enjoyment with hardship/suffering. Many questions, no answers, only a heart to ponder and experience. So tasting bitterness, but how sour is the apple that has turned rotten? Do the maggots that eat up the decay actually clean up the rotten apple, or hasten the decomposition. Of what measurement should we judge this by? Rate, quantity, time or beauty?
Perhaps its better to rejudge this from a relative-isometrical viewpoint - that perhaps this is a iteration and restatement of confusion. No, the argument is not about the entity, or the relative 'correctness' of this preempt by society's rules. The argument is lost within the question, as aligned with the theme.
Pausible a suggestion for consideration. That the restrictiveness of Man, (or third-dimension animate beings that some term themselves) the restrictivenss to glance into the future. But the constrain by time, another quantity, what is the possible working of such an free reign? Impossible to work out, as possible lower-dimension inanimative entities have no conception of us. Bitterness and hesitation of the uncertain future - surely a weakness/quality of Man. Or perhaps not all there is to it?
Lol... write halfway dun wanna write liao.. Shall resume normal speech. Saraba.

看见
晚餐后歇步归家,在一个红色的桥上遇见了一个小男孩。他扑在桥栏前,沉默地望着河水。
起了好奇心,我问他在干什么。
他说,“哦,我在水中看月亮的倒影。”
“为何你不直接望天空看呢?”,我莫名其妙地说道。
“我怕,如果望着天上的月亮,我会厌倦起来。”他更莫名其妙地回答。我正像要反驳,他却挥了挥手。他似乎不想再多解释自己了,或许是因为他,或许是因为那红色的桥。

There are so many questions in this world, but perhaps only one answer...
There are so many people who accept religion as the meaning of their life, and there are those who don't....

Is it the same...? you and me?

I still want to hear the dark beat of the night...
I still want to feel the black wind blinding me...
I still want to see the speed incoherent beyond my limits...
I still want to gamble every single beat of this heart-machine...
I still want to push happiness away from me

Chime
Only when the loud noises and guffaw dies down,
then and only then will you be able to hear the silent tinkle...
The small chime around the cat's neck, resonating deep inside,
beneath all those layers..

Mist
The rain envelops the afternoon sky...
At this moment I'm thinking of you, but the pigeon fails to arrive..
The drizzle litters insistently onto the passing pedestrains,
an omen mayhap of your increasing uneasiness
Mist fogs over the window-view; soon I'll be unable to see into the outside streets;
and perhaps your heart as well

well... with exceptions come exceptions
| Your True Love Is a Pisces |
![]() Why you'll love a Pisces: Selfless and intuitive, you are perfect for a Pisces that lives to love you. You're sensitive enough to appreciate and explore the deep emotions of a Pisces. Why a Pisces will love you: You're generous and totally giving in relationships, something Pisces demands. You are also dreamy enough to get lost in fantasy with Pisces, but realistic enough to stay grounded. |

You're a Pug!
No bones about it, you're an intelligent, playful Pug. Witty and charming, you're a lot of dog wrapped in a small package. People just love you — a wonderful approachability and sense of humor put you at the top of everyone's list. And because you're smart and quick-witted, you attract a crowd wherever you go. (Have you ever considered running for office or starting a company? You've got the charisma for either.) But that doesn't mean you can't be a little naughty or mischievous when opportunity knocks — you've definitely got a nose for fun! A happy, optimistic breed, you're admired and respected by all. Woof!

雨が好きのは俺だ
Little ferns whispering in each others hair;
.... even some wizened palms bend to the suffering gales
Tiny gray blips get sucked up into their dark mother flagship...
... one by one in a brownian sequence
Light drizzle pours onto the skirting cars below...
... tis another monsoon weather to show for
Outside, the lights seem to be turned off...
... yet inside, tis ever lit as such
Bright, and cold

And so when the painter chanced upon the bird again,
he enquired where it had travelled to escape the foul winter
"I was but here all along, what you have been watching is a dream...
A dream where chance
is encapsulated between the possible fates,
a dream between you and me.
It was my dream,
as it is now yours, since I have been waiting here for you..."

Expressway
Parallelism in the headings,
yet all they accomplish are mere runs on the same ground...
All. mundanely reeks of insignificance,
but when you return to the carving on the sand,
when you see the brown leaves float their way to the ground,
silently,
swiftly,
absolutely...
Emotions elude you...
Sadness flood in situ, in vertigo
(All that i give, all that i can give, and all that i can hope to give...)

The soft, clear notes of a nearby windchime,

Have you ever wondered..
When you walk slowly in a crowd
That the whole world will pass you by...
Because it seems that...
Everyone has a place to go
Everyone has a purpose in mind...
And so... And... I contest, you forgive, we perish

Steal
The dark shadows that dart pass the glass,
not crows in flight,
but crispy brown leaves that have been shed in spring;
And steal as solitary a glance,

The wind is a frivolous sort,
it whispers gently in the pretty flower buds that it sieves through,
it strokes the dark water surface of the icy-cold lakes,
it takes itself to wherever it fancies;
でも最後の最後に、
as the wind knows and as I know,
it flutters alone in the white sails,
the white of detachment from this world
its white of its freedom

The laborer and the cat
The pure, white cat looks at the man and the man looks at the cat. Stretching its four paws out to the blue, endless sky, the cat tans its pure, white underside. The man laughs at the cat for being so lazy and good-for-nothing on a warm day like this, and returns to his chores-at-hand. The cat purrs and mew as if in scorn at the man who left, as if mocking him chasing the things in his sight - endless targets one after another in his hectic life.
And so I look upon them as they look upon me, for we are but one, and but one to us all.

pyres
the burning pyres lit their way in the dark,
not for you,
nor for me,
but for the dancing shadows of the night;
and so at length we behold,
the sight bequeath to us; in this white sigh
[festival]itis
the bonpicks shall burn nigh,
the guttural chanting shall never cease;
and the lamb shall be risen to the altar

焼きき
The lights from the festival look all bright and merry,
but it only reflects the blackened burnt tree in my heart

rollerblade
cast all your doubts away,
follow me in this flight into the night...
into the wind,
the heightening of the senses and sight
誰も止まられないから・・・
you do not become... to pursue your own dreams
it takes loneliness to know loneliness,
pain to understand pain,
and sadness to nurture sadness
pureness
「上戸彩」:
果てしない空に君がいて、穢れない永久を誓うよ;
唇に止まった真実、信じてたいずっと・・・
trans:
in the endless skies you exist, pledging a pure infinity;
in your lips the truth that has stopped, i wish to believe in it forever

kuroi tori
Elation is the product of depressive asphyxiation;
so we must kill the black bird in our skies to be truely free

kaze uta
i step out into the world today;
the birds still sing and chase each other through the trees,
the children still laugh and solicit happily amongst the playground..
the world still moves on its own wheels;
though few realize,
the song that is hidden in the wind
chou chou
the willow tree shakes its crown, and the soft wind rakes the winged butterfly...
left to wander, but for a moment lost, in its own dance...

musing
strange that I've been feeling slightly odd and displaced lately...
probably due to the change of the seasons...
hmm
there's something that brings to mind, alluding to the main character in Dune.
he who sees the future, yet the choices he made, or by not making,
narrowing his possibilities, the infinite twindings and bindings.
But even so, we are all the same. As in myself, and beyond.
多分風のせいだった・・・
something unoriginal:
「ヘッドフォンをして
ひとごみの中に隠れると
もう自分は消えてしまったんじゃないか
と思うの」
sono gawa
One side is raining,
so I step into a building,
leave by the other side of the world,
and make my way home
其中一边在下着雨,
所以我踏进这座建筑物里,
从另一个世界离开,
往家而归

tsumetai umi
The shore dwellers experience no change in the seasons;
yet in winter where the sea reflect the acute coldness of the world,
there are those who build bonpicks to bring warmth to the sea.

garasu sae ame
The window pane blur with tears as I observe the lurid passings,
though not those I thought shed by me..
The cold works up my hands, and it is soon time to leave;
Avid sadness in partings.

koishi
A little pebble drifts in the choppy sea, it know naught of where it came from, or where it head towards.
If you happen to chance upon it ashore, please hurl it back to the sea, it wants to be left alone.

mago mago
The drone of the passing cars distorts my ear,
the smell of the rain spray masks my nose,
the gloom of the looming clouds blend my sight;
all of which to confuse my mind;
to forget the sun of the season past that warmed the heart

tora no ko
Like a newly-born litter of cubs, strangers huddle together in a tiny bus stop, sheltering from the pouring rain.
It brings a question to mind: ima wa, anata no sobi ni iru no wa dare na no?

chiisai oni
As the sieve separates the salt from the grains,
the little demons escape to the rainy skies, and I start to run forward

origami
The world has many folds: like origami that shapes the crane;
I will meet you, I know. But will you meet me, in kindred?
That which is left standing, is not the yellow flag on the roof,
Nor the black veil against the stars.

oba
In my mortality, I can only stand in watch,
as the pelting rain washes away,
the traces of the story deeply curved,
once upon a time;
In the white, sandy shore
suzushii kaze
basking in the cool drafts brought by monsoon winds,
the hawk rakes its feathers before the flight

seichou no ni
The winter moss,
grows foreign to the stone as spring thaws;
And washes off,
in the renewal rain called time
seichou
i failed to see the caterpillar no longer ate the pomelo leaves that i grew;
and so the butterfly flew away
hitogomi
on busy, crowded days, i lament for a camarade [com pe re] to share my tables;
on quiet, peaceful days mornings, i yearn for solitude in self-companionship;
such is the indecisiveness in me

onikaze
The ghostly, white wind from the sky, the cold, dark moist of the earth;
Yet naught does the bitter heart slight.
Adrift, it wanders in hitherto exhaustion.

atarimae no koto
of course, it is never the same;
thus people pass on,
flowers bloom every spring,
and memories fade away
