Naw that's not the topic =p well not really. But it's funny putting up a blogpost again. After all, it's been a year and a half since i last did any sort of blogging.
Somehow, this blog has always been, to me, a piece of my past, of my roots, and all my friends who made me what i am. And maybe it'll be my link to you guys too, whoever's still alive and checking their xanga regularly =p
And while so much has changed, i realized after a 'lil reflection how little has changed as well.
Good things, and bad, many have stayed with me. Usually for the worst.
But then again the good things that have stayed, i should be grateful i suppose =3

| I wonder how many people are self-aware.... Not in the self-conscious way, but rather the sense of actually being ALIVE. Like, people who think 'wow i'm alive and it's great! The fact that i exist at all is amazing." Jazz Fest in Genting has been amazing, and i'm blogging from the hotel room.

Mine and someone else's arm. (duh.) I can't figure out why this 1 is suddenly so smal though.. Nevermind.
Personally i thought the most incredible band was Hamilton De Hollanda from Brazil.. A 5 Piece band with amazing talent, synchro, and sound, along with stage presence to go. Look them up if you can.. On another completely irrelevant note,:
I swear that thing would barely fit in my hand if it got on.. If i ever let it get on. Seems to be a lot of this going on lately, eh Vector? (Ask him why) Proof of existence. "Life is a lottery where only the winning tickets are visible" - The Solitare Mystery, Jostein Gaarder | | |
| this post is simply to rant about what i think will be my favourite manga of all time, xxxHolic. No it's not porn, which i suppose is what everyone presume it is based on the title.. the xxx denominates an unknown factor, so it might be replaced with word like 'alco-', 'worka-', 'love-a-' and much more. I'm not going into much detail about insider (manga/anime lovers) stuff that makes it great, but there's so much to it. REALISTIC romance (movies are hardly ever believable, their level of romance seems oftenplace impossibly hopeless), powerful, heavily linked and intertwined plotlines, many nice quotes worth remembering and listening to, and a philosophical concept that reigns supreme in the storyline. Hitsuzen is only translateable to english as 'destiny' or 'fate', but is different. Destiny and fate often denote an inevitable event or happenstance; which I'm not quite sure i believe in. The idea that your life is fixed in stone is unacceptable, if only because even God has given to us the power of choice, which is the power to dictate nearly everything in life. Hitsuzen, on the other hand, refers to a kind of 'destined' occurence which must happen BECAUSE it precedes a greater/ulterior event/motive/cause/purpose. Think of it this way. In order for you to be reading this, it is hitsuzen that you must press the power button on your computer. Therefore, the pressing of the power button of your computer is hitsuzen, because in order for you to be reading this post, and do so much more for your life, you have to hit the power button in order for this to happen. An argumentative person might debate that he/she refuses to turn on the computer, and therefore hitsuzen is avoidable. It is, but I'm pretty sure that choosing to NOT ever press the power button on a computer is absolutely stupid, since you would lose so much from what you have today. Go ahead. I DARE you to not ever press the power button. But then that again would be hitsuzen, because by NOT pressing the power button, you are committing to bettering yourself at whatever it is you choose to do with your time instead of reading my rants =p.

| Back in KL, yeah it's going to be often abandoned, since i don't find that much to blog about these days... Even so. my first day back in KL has been extremely eventful... Yesterday... My first time being stuck in a lift.. after 30 mins or so of banging and ringing the bell, i forced the doors open from the inside.. Both me and Caleb Lee got stuck. For more details and storytelling, check Caleb's blog out. Apparently it was a power surge which caused at least 2 other lifts to stop in the same and adjacent buildings. Whole day of moving around, cleaning up our new apartment, my bus from LCCT to KL Sentral broke down halfway (12km from PutraJaya), walking up and down and up and down 11 stories of stairs because of broken lifts, etc. Slept at 230, it was amazingly tiring; still. I quote my notes on my phone made after watching a performance by the 2 choirs of what is about to become my school: "I think that for once in a long long time, i feel truly alive. But it seems that this feeling must always be accompanied by the bittersweet feeling of knowing that in beauty there is always sorrow to be found. It seems such a shame that something can only be really beautiful because it is sad." It was a bittersweet day, many reasons for the 'bitter' half of it, but somehow, I would never trade yesterday for any other. | | |
