Lol. What a random title. Anyways, I did a random recording of one of my favourite songs on Project Diva and I never thought I would score perfect. Lucky? Coincident? Maybe XD
I was planning on recording using RemoteJoy Lite but I didn't have the audio cable with me. I ended up using camera instead.
I have somehow got addicted to Dissidia: Final Fantasy for the past few days and as I played the game, I came across a few great quotations. So, I thought I would share them :3
Cosmos
It's a beautiful dream. A dream that was born out of none other than you. If you were a mere tool, you would not have such a dream.
Chaos
Laughable, is it not? In that world, I was a god that suppressed disorder. But strangely, the images are still vivid in my eyes...All the people smiling...the warmth of the days I spent with Cosmos...For one who has lost all memory, why did the dream have to be so cruel?
Warrior of Light
As there is a difference between cautious and cowardly. Even in the direst circumstance, there will always be a way. You were the one who taught me that. When all hope seemed lost for this world, you showed me the way. That as long as we do not give up, there is always something we can do. That there is hope yet for those of us who are left. I have made a vow..to obtain the crystal and save the world. That vow gives me strength.
You are bound by the chains of destiny and steeped in despair. Indeed, we have repeated our battles time and time again. You could say that we have been caught in the cycle of battle. But now that I know the truth, I can overcome it. All that is left to do now is to fight to end the cycle!
Cloud Strife
I can rip through your darkness.
Can you break from your past?
Is the world...crying?
Firion
Wild roses...My dream is a world filled with wild roses. When the battle is over, I want to fill the world with flowers. A world where we can overcome what we have lost, where even the rain and the wind can provide us with strength...
Many people lose their lives in times of war...They may die trying to protect friend, or trying to give strength to others. But in the end, they died. And there are others who lose hope, and grieve...A future where happiness blooms like a wild rose...That's what I'm fighting for!
Cecil Harvey
Brother...I do not travel with companions to cover my own weakness. Their presence gives me strength. They encourage and support me. I travel with them so that I can aid them as they have aided me. A certain strength can only be born in the presence of my friend. That's why! This what I believe!
Squall Leonheart
I don't regret anything. I just...never thought anyone cared about me. Sympathy is a burden I don't need. But it wouldn't hurt to know someone's got my back. Perhaps I..shouldn't have turned down their invitation.
Fighting together is not the only way. We can still help each other, even if we're apart. And whether or not I needed, I received their support. So I'll return the favor in my own way. I have to carve out my own path to change the situation.
I have no fear.
Zidane Tribal
As long as I have friends, losing just isn't an option. Kuja, tell me something. Is it really so hard to trust in someone?
As long as there is someone who remembers us, those memories and lives will go on forever… that’s living… right?
Tidus
I hate you. I hated you so much... I always wished you'd be gone. But deep down...what I really wanted was just..Your approval.for you to..tell me that I've grown strong--That's all I ever wanted.
Bartz Klauser
Light, give me strength!...or whatever.
Terra Branford
We live to protect what we hold dear. As long as you have that, you can find the meaning on your own.
Sephiroth
Don't fear the power to destroy.
This disease called hope is eating you alive. The world of suffering was born out of such half-baked ideals.
Garland
Indeed. As the conflict between the gods carries on for all eternity, so our battles will also be repeated forever and ever! That is the truth of this world! We cannot escape this fate! For better for you to rid yourself of any hope. It is time for you to accept the cycle and embrace combat's grim pleasure!
I am a prisoner of time, a witness to all dimensions, all worlds. Throughout all exists the Great Will...It is the key to escaping my eternal prison. And so I have monitored the endless worlds, guiding the conflict of Chaos and Cosmos. All was to nurture the power of disorder so Chaos could become the ultimate weapon.
If chaos is a state without form, where all things collide and blend...the ultimate chaos would be the denial of all existence, would it not? At battle's end, there will be no joy, no glory, no salvation, no future. To the god Chaos, a world without Cosmos is naught but an empty husk.
If this world loses its form, I only need to find another cycle. The soul of strife shall endure forever, beyond time and space! Farewell, warriors of Cosmos. May we meet again in the afterworld...
The mortal desire for power knows no limit.
Golbez
This is only the beginning. Do your eyes see as far as the light shines?
Soon, you'll be nothing but a memory.
Love is a sinful thing.
The purity of a heart that only sees things as they are on the surface can also turn poisonous!
Kuja
As one who shares your fate, I simply had to see how your heart would break upon realizing how powerless you truly are. Like a bird trapped in cage, you can only listen as they scream in terror...
You've disappointed me. I wanted so much to enjoy this hopeless tragedy. What an utter failure. It's time to close the curtains to this silly drama!
Let me play a piece for you. It's your requiem!
The moon steals light to become stronger.
Let me clip your wing, fallen one.
Peace is but a shadow of death...Desperate to forget its painful past...Though we hope for promising years...After shedding a thousand tears...Yesterday's sorrow constantly nears...
In this world, only the fittest survive. Resign yourself to vanish...into the mellifluous twilight that await!
Jecht
If you're a lion, what the heck am I?
Kefka Palazzo
How perfectly poetic! The mouse scampers off, but the monkey just keeps hanging around! Well whatever. This should be interesting, at least.
It's better that you disappear than to know the brutal truth. Trust me.
Meaning schmeaning! The whole world's going bye-bye! You included! Life...Dreams...Hope..Where do they come from? And where do they go? None of that junk is enough to fulfill your hearts? Destruction...Destruction is what make life worth living! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Let's destroy everything!
Shantotto
Why, hello! And, oh..goodbye! There is where scholars can further enjoy the pursuit of knowledge in peace as a reward. It is not a place where plebeians like you should enter of you own accord! Oh, there's no need to pout. You say that you're trapped and know not the way out? You can curl up and die here--or, make it a tad further, and I may lend you my ear.
A fairly decent job, even with all the fuss, I hereby score you a solid B-.And now for your promised reward...A special private lesson, at a price you can afford! And by special, I mean very much so. You would cry tears of joy! Ohohohohoho!
Your hair is a distraction.
To me, even lions are little more than kittens.
Not too bad...for someone who could barely handle my powerful magic. A little bit of work, and maybe your days as a total loser won't be so tragic. But enough of the pleasantries...I've more pressing matters at hand. A date with a lad named Chas...or was it one of his lackeys--Gabri...Gabro...Gabrand? Some brute with armor covering covering his chest has challenged me to a duel--a blood fest! It's been too long since the last war I won. I can tell you right now, it will be fun! Oh, and by the way, keep your eye out for the mysterious cavernous maws. You don't know where you'll end up after getting trapped in one's jaws. Or perhaps on the matter of how you arrived here, we've finally found the cause? Now, don't forget all that you learned. And on that note, class is adjourned!
Judge Gabranth
...Who are you? Hmph. Just another stray being played with by the gods. No matter. Choose the path you wish to take. All paths lead to the same end, anyway. You keep fighting...and die like a dog.
Go. Straight ahead is the exit..or rather, the entrance to the battlefield. You know this and still you would leave? Then allow me to give you one last word. What must be defended is inevitably lost. You will know despair and emptiness. But remember, surrender to despair, and you will be no more than a pathetic dog. Never cast away hope, and live on with pride. Don't ever become like me.
Emperor Mateus
If anyone is fit to shine, it is I.
Cloud of Darkness
Unreachable freedom is no better than cage.
Earthly life is no different from phantoms.
Exdeath
Death possesses its own beauty.
Sins are eternal.
This is the sensation....The boundaries of the flesh are broken, dissolving into nothingness...The void is where all begins and all ends. Soon, all of you will become a part of this eternity!
Ultimecia
Time waits for no one. You can grab it, but it flies as soon as you loosen your grip. To condense and to bind--this i all I desire!
Dissidia is truly one of the best games ever!

I went out for lunch with my aunt today and we were clueless about what to eat until we saw this place. The design of the building somehow attracted my attention.
We walked into it and wow.. it was such a nice place with peaceful environment and soothing music. There were paintings hung on the walls. No wonder it has the word "Gallery" in its name. The cafe has its second floor as well.
Guess what? I could even see the Rejang River from my seat XD
I bet that place will look even more wonderful at night with all the lighting. The only thing it lacks is free Wi-Fi.
The cafe serves Thai, Korean, Western, and other Asian cuisines, but mostly That food. They are all prepared by a chef from Thailand.
Here are what we had:
Grilled Chicken Chop which looked more like a serving for 2 persons.
Pandan Chicken.
Prawn Popia.
Ice Blended Chocolate.
Chocolate Latte.
Overall, the taste was ok but it wasn't that splendid. If I had to rate, I would give 3 out of 5. The meals were slightly cheaper than that in Cafe Cafe though.
Once we were done with that, we walked outside and looked at the polluted Rejang River which looks like milk tea now. How sad.
It was cloudy when we drove away. I thought it would rain but it didn't. Lol. I managed to take a snapshot of the sky from the inside of the moving car.
I never thought there are people who try to imitate what are being shown in Death Note anime/manga/movie until I came across an article from The Herald Sun which says:
The Daily Telegraph newspaper of Australia reports, in an article about "serious incidents" in schools during the six months ending this past April, that teachers found a "Death Note" in the bag of an eighth-grade boy in southwestern Sydney. In the Death Note suspense manga, live-action films, and anime adaptation, a teenager finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names and the dictated manners of death.
According to the newspaper, the student's "Death Note" contained a death list and a diary with a "battle plan" of where bombs could be planted in his school. The "Death Note" listed classmates and four faculty members, and it also specified that some would die by drowning, heart attack, and "drinking himself to death."
There were at least four previous incidents in the United States where school officials linked "Death Notes" to students being disciplined. One high school senior in Richmond, Virginia was suspended in 2007 over a list of his classmates' names that the school principal linked to Death Note. A middle school student in Hartsville, South Carolina was "removed" from school over a "Death Note" notebook in March of 2008. In Gadsden, Alabama, two sixth-grade students were arrested in the following month for a notebook that allegedly listed their school staff and fellow students in a manner similar to the Death Note anime series. The Kopachuck Middle School in Gig Harbor, Washington expelled one student and disciplined three others in May of 2008 for writing 50 names in their own "Death Note" book. However, a Washington state librarians' group nominated the manga for a young adults' book award.
Death Note has been the subject of scrutiny by schools in other countries such as China and Taiwan. School officials in the Chinese city of Shenyang banned the manga and replicas of the Death Note notebook in 2005, and the educational bureau in Taiwan's Pingtung County warned parents about the manga in 2007. On the other hand, the manga's Taiwanese publisher and a non-profit Taiwanese watchdog group supported the work for raising issues. Two messages left in a Belgian crime scene have been associated with Death Note, but police in that 2007 case have yet to identify a suspect or any further link to the manga.
The Daily Telegraph notes that Australian school principals are campaigning for more counselors to address the reported increase in mental health issues in younger students. 50 "serious incidents" were recorded in the country's schools during the six months ending this past April.
It sounds insane and terrifying at the same time. Can you imagine living in a world where there are humans who claim themselves to be Gods and kill people who they think shouldn't exist at all? That was what Raito did in the Death Note series before he was killed by Ryuk, a Shinigami who is also the original owner of the note, except that the people he hated would die automatically at different times after he wrote down their names and he didn't have to plant bombs etc.
We were having a simple trailer-making contest for our Computer Club about a week ago where we could make trailers of anything we like as long as they didn't exceed 5 minutes. Too bad we were only allowed to use Windows Movie Maker because our club's teacher wanted to test our skills. It got me all excited since I love playing with the program. After thinking for a few days, I decided to make a trailer based on one of Square Enix's latest games which will be released soon.
It wasn't easy because the videos available for the game are limited and the characters' voices haven't been revealed yet, which means the original videos don't have any human's sound. Anyway, I ended up producing this:
Title: Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Developer: Square Enix Music & Voices: - Have You Ever Felt [Ill Niño] - Rifle-shooting [Sudden Attack] - Sakura's scream [Naruto] - I'm Right Here [Kajiura Yuki] - Cell phone ring - Two (Vaya Con Dios) [Ill Niño]
During the Mid-Autumn Festival which was celebrated about 2 weeks ago, we had 7000 lanterns hanging across the roads and buildings in Sibu forming an extremely long dragon's body. The lanterns were hung starting from Sibu Pagoda until Sibu Gateway. I have actually seen them for several times but didn't have the chance to take pictures because I ended up being distracted all the time. I almost took some snaps of the dragon's head just on the night before the festival but my friends suddenly arrived with a car and drove me to somewhere else for our hangout.
By the time when I was ready to take photos of the lanterns, it was disappointing to find out that some of them were removed already. Sigh.. >_>
I didn't take the photos below but I thought I'd share them.
And here is the full view. Splendid, right?
As me and my aunt drove around town this morning, I could see that only certain parts of the dragon's body left. They don't even turn on the lights during night time. That's too bad.
I took these from the inside of the car.
Oh yeah, next year's celebration might be even more epic 8D
I went to a durian orchard owned by my uncle's family today. It's located out of town and the best thing is, you don't have to use air-conditioner there during night time for it's cold enough. Of course I could see lots of fruit trees along our way to the orchard.
Spot the durians!
Mini durian XD
The big longan tree.
Dragon fruit trees. Too bad that the fruits couldn't be seen yet.
Black pepper plants.
We brought back some rambutans which have just been plucked too. Gotta love the sweetness :P
The next pic is totally random XD
We headed back to Sibu at 7 pm to hunt for dinner. We went to Million Cafe which is famous with it's slow service, but delicious cuisines. Here are what we ordered.
I arrived at home around 9:15 pm and I saw this in front of the house.
Cute! XD
Sorry if I didn't write much this time. I'm a little sleepy and tired at the moment :)
Another amazing but creepy video to be shared with you guys. You can see that the clouds started forming 2 eyes in the beginning.
The owner of this video said:
This video was forwarded to me by Direk Mark of Dahil May Isang Ikaw during our taping which was also forwarded to him. This, I was told, happened in Mindanao last Saturday, September 26, 2009 when our Muslim brothers were doing their morning prayers...... This was the same day when Luzon suffered the wrath of Ondoy...
I can't get enough of Love is War especially the version sung by Kaito. It's awesome! He is the only one singing different version of the lyrics <3
Lyrics:
Shion Kaito's version
Japanese

English
The agitation with no release. The weight of this love
In the blue sky, lights reflects on particles The sunsets, from the weakening light comes the mechanical sounds
Ah, the world is falling apart, but even so, I still love you I understand that completely. What should I do To make you understand this secret code I am such a fool? I will
Protect you, this is a war There is no way I will watch you get hurt A suffocating love, that is a sin I will let you know my affection for you
I tried to yell out, but this voice is weak No matter how much I raise my voice, It probably still won't reach you
Ah, before I realize it, the dawn is already coming. Time, please stop I cannot make you understand my feeling, what can I do How should I proceed
I can see you who I cannot reach
Therefore
I will protect you, this is a war Whatever it takes, there is no time to choose means In order to let you understand the extend of my love I will protect you with all my might
Prepare for the final blow The battle is not yet over Love is war Until this song reaches you
Here are several other versions of the song created based on the voice of different Vocaloids. It's seriously the best software ever!

English
There's nowhere for it to go anymore, the heat of this love
The grey clouds, the monochrome clamor The sunlight casts a shadow, the twilight changes color
The world blurs; even so, will I still love you? I know this -- but what should I do? How can I, what should I... What an idiot... I am
Let's go, this is war Just seeing you so happy...! Ardent love is a sin I'll show you my feelings
The megaphone I shouted into has broken However much I stretch, I'm not in your field of vision
Ah, the sky cleared before I knew it and it doesn't suit me I can't hold my feelings back How can I, what should I...
Because I'm not going to cry
I love you
I'm fighting, shooting for the heart I didn't choose this way I'll show you how my skirt flutters And steal your gaze away
Prepare for a counterattack I'm fighting a losing battle Love is blindness Your kiss opens my eyes
Just a short post here. Take a look at the pictures below and what is your first impression after seeing them?
Yes. Bridget is a GUY! Hahahaha! He is actually a character from a game entitled Guilty Gear.
Of course there is a reason why he looks like a girl. It's not like he is wearing female clothing because he loves them XD
Despite the name and appearance, Bridget is actually male. He was born in a village where the birth of twins of the same gender was considered bad luck, and hence his family named and raised him as a girl. When he became older, he decided that he would prove his worth and his masculinity by becoming a bounty hunter. He is given a fake list of bounties by I-No, sending him against many of the other fighters. He fights with a yo-yo and Roger, his mechanical, intelligent, over sized teddy bear.
