Place of interest: Celeste, Texas

Actually I've never been there, but I love writing stories and I randomly thought of writing a story where the setting was in Texas. I searched for small towns and found this!

I chose this place, because believe it or not, the main character in the story was also named Celeste!! So, i checked the internet and this was what I got.
 Celeste is a town just outside Dallas. I discovered that there was this really neat quilt shop there. I also obtained some pictures of the town. It was quite old but how should I know because I never visited that place anyway. Although given the chance I would really love to go there so that I could get more hands-on information.

(This is the quilt shop i was talking about, this picture is not mine and no copyright intended)

I've always loved writing stories. Sadly, none of them were ever published. I could never finish the stories I've started and also I lose the inspiration to write quite quickly. Now that I have finished my studies and all I have is time, I would really like to start writing again. So far, I've come up with a storyline and characters.

The place would definitely be in Texas, but I guess I have to change the name so that it wouldn't get me in trouble. However, the place would still be somewhat like Celeste. I'm not a real writer after all, I'm just someone who loves to write because it's what I love doing most.

Brynhildr in the Darkness review

This is another anime that i have watched with my sister. It is about witches that have super power. I was thinking they were better suited with super humans, but why the term "witches"??

(This is the girl with the blue hair, her name is Kuroneko)

Anyway, the story is about a group of witches that were running away from a lab which they were created from.

The graphics were quite gory too.. Because when the witches ran out of a certain pill, they would start to bleed and eventually melt and die.

(A witch which was paralysed because of too many experiments)

The main character, which was a guy, could be said to be very lucky because all of the witches were girls. However, he only had feelings for the girl with the blue hair. This was because she looked like his childhood friend that passed away when he was young, which of course was true. The girl denied knowing him because she often lost her memories when she used too much of her powers.

(Her superpower is being able to manipulate technology things so she could hack into any system)

In the end, the girl remembered but it was only for a while as she used too much of her powers.

Deadman Wonderland review

Since I watched Tokyo ghouls, I remembered an anime i watched quite a while ago that seems to be a bit similar: Deadman wonderland.
The ending of this anime also left me hanging.
It was a story of a boy who was sentenced to death because of something he did not commit: Mass killing.

Why i said it's the same, it's because it had some connection to blood.
At first i thought he was just lucky to be alive, but then it got suspicious. He was alive because the person that killed the others knew him. That person was known as "Wretched Egg".

He started to have this super ability to do awesome things with his blood. But when he used too much of it, he would get anemic.

It was called "Deadman wonderland" because it indeed was a wonderland and the performers were those that were facing death-roll sentence. It was quite scary and of course involved a lot of blood.

(Apparently, not all of them that were in the death-roll had that ability, they would be tested and those that disappear all of a sudden was actually taken away. The boy, which was the main character was in fact very powerful because he had the power of the "wretched egg" in him. The picture above are some of the important characters, some good some bad. The good ones then made plans to escape the living hellhole for good).

This time of year AGAIN

It's this time of the year again. This festive season, a season of forgiving and love.
Oh well, it seems everyone, I think is so in the mood for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but it's about buying gifts that's making me scared. There goes my money.
I try to budget this year but I hope not to disappoint anyone, with the increasing price of stuffs now, it would be even harder to buy things.

Finally, I have finished my degree course. It's been a while now, and I feel so happy because everything ended well. I hope that there would be nothing left because i would hate to go back and settle them.
Anyways, it's been so many memorable, thinking back all those years.
There were a lot of sad ones which i prefer to leave it in the past. And of course happy ones so that I could remember when I'm old later.

Here's some pictures which my sisters and I had taken in the Spring shopping mall during our SISTERly outing..

(My third sister and I, the background was very pretty, it feels magical, with all the shiny and blinking lights hanging down the tree)

(My youngest sister and I, still the same background. I just felt so happy at the time because the atmosphere was just soo.. merry)...

Since now all I have is time, I started doing the thing i like most: KNITTING. 

I started to knit socks again and they are going to be for my family. I did mention that it's expensive to buy things so why not do my own thing? It's the thought that counts. :) My sisters are in fact excited about it.. 

(The first pair of green socks are already done)

(Now for the second sock, red socks!!! Can't wait to finish it)

Tokyo ghouls review

It's finally the holiday season again.. And yes, I'm indulging myself in watching anime with my sister.

Tokyo ghouls?
AWESOME!!!!!
It's a story about a boy who turned into a half ghoul because of a weird accident. There, his journey began and the he to try his best to survive and be sane at the same time.

I guess I just love watching anime with lots of blood. Hahah, kidding. Most of the time the GORY parts were being sensored and so my sister and I were actually watching black screens.

The storyline was nice because it depicts the life of a normal teenage boy turned ghoul. Luckily he found a secret society where he won't have to kill humans to survive. :)

(He became a one-eyed ghoul. He became that way because a crazy doctor implanted organs of a deceased ghoul into him and therefore he became half human and half ghoul. However, he could no longer live a normal human life, for example, eat human food.)

(These are the characters in the story, although not ALL of them are in there but i guess they are the main characters of the story)

WARNING: Those who have weak hearts are not encouraged to watch this anime. 

(My favourite character HAS GOT to be this guy!!! His name is Uta. He's a mask maker. Although he doesn't appear much, but he's so cool!!!! I love his eyes and hairstyle)

Sad to say, the story leaves us on a cliffhanger (hope i'm saying this right), the final episode was so very frustrating because it ended just like that, I felt I was left hanging on mid-air just like that. Now my sister and I have to wait for the 2nd season, which will be airing on January 9, 2015. 

Well, it's not too far away. But by that time i will be busy with so many things, it is a new year anyway. 

Gotta go.. :)

Journey to Mount Kinabalu

On 27th - 28th October 2014, I went on this extreme, torturous and most wonderful adventure.
With a group of friends, we climbed Mount Kinabalu.
It started out fine, suddenly rain poured heavily until we reached "Laban Rata".
However, what people said were true, we should ignore the difficulties we are facing and instead admire the work of God.
The scenery's beauty was beyond words. It was simply gorgeous!!
It took us 6 hours plus to reach "Laban Rata" from the first checkpoint (Timpohon Gate).
The journey was 6km, but even 1km was more than enough for me. I could not believe how i could reach 6km. Praise be to God.

Upon reaching Laban Rata, we went to our rooms, dried ourselves, bathed and ate.
We slept around 7pm as we needed to wake up at 1 plus AM to begin our final challenge, climbing to the peak.

On the way to the peak, it was even more challenging and only God knows how many times i wanted to give up, but i was already half way there, so, like it or not, i had to continue on my journey.

At around 6am, we reached 8km. Then we continued to 8.5km, going towards the peak.

Halfway through the peak(already reached 8.5km by then), I stopped, and i told God, "Okay, this is as far as I could go". Another reason was that when i was trying to go up, many people were coming down, so i couldn't continue to go up (I think this is a sort of self-pity feeling) But, since I was already up at the mountain, I was given the coloured certificate, thank you Lord. :) Perhaps, if given another chance, THAT time i would try to reach the peak.

(My friend and I outside Laban rata, the rain just stopped)

(Drinking hot coffee Laban Rata before going off to sleep)

(finally reached 8km)

(The peak, still dark at the time)

(I would never forget this peak, known as "The ugly sister peak" amazing sunrise)

(Identifying the peak through RM100)

(Halfway through, my Sarawak flag mission accomplished)

(On the way down already, amazing scenery, the fog just came in like that, creepy yet magical)

(The fog coming in fast, so most of us started our journey back to Laban Rata)

(Final picture of the peak before going down to Laban Rata, the sun was up by then, heavenly view)

THE day

Today is THE day for me.
Yea, it was the day I was born, 14.10.1991

I want to thank God that I have lived on this earth for 23 years now..
Through thick and thin, i have survived this far.
Without You Lord, i won't be where I am now.

My story for today is funny yet memorable.
Today is the second day for the Kursus Pergigian that we are required to attend.
The previous day we had teeth check-up and there was this competition on who has the most beautiful teeth.
I wasn't too enthusiastic because my front teeth is not closed properly, I mean there is space in between my front teeth, even my sister said she could insert a 50 cents coin into my mouth through it..

Oh well, i still went for the check-up anyway, because my LAST check-up was when i was in PRIMARY school. Imagine how long it was, almost 10 years!

I was surprised that the nurse praised me, but i had to floss my teeth and take good care of my wisdom tooth, which i thought i did, but actually no (she told me that i didn't brush it properly)

So, i followed their style of brushing teeth, and i got bleeding gum instead. = = ''

Today, they presented all the presents and awards. AND guess what? It's my birthday..

Suddenly, the announcer asked my friend for my full name, and they all started laughing..
I was then secretly informed that i was the "Puteri Gigi".. OMG

Yea, I can't believe it myself because when they re-checked my teeth, i heard "Plak".. Meaning it was dirty. So I didn't give any hope at all.

It's such a wonderful gift and i would never forget this year. I really want to thank God for giving me this special gift. Thank you Lord.. :)
