Letter of complaint


To whom it may concern:
I am Jamie Lin and i have the misfortune of living directly under your sh*tty unit. Your inconsiderate actions have caused my family and i great distress.
Firstly, YOU STOLE OUR PET COCKROACH! It used to like our toilet but now it loves yours. I demand that you return the cockroach or my family and i will not hesitate to take legal action against you.
I also regret to inform you that your toilet is faulty and leaks really badly. And a foul smell permeates through from above whenever you flush. I strongly advice you to watch your intake of durians, for both the sake of your health and our nose.

Thankyou.

I apologise for the abrupt end, cos i could only remember that much. Janice, naomi and i were crapping stuff out for a complain letter and that was what we came up with XD

Transplanted kang kong seedlings during cca today and karene took many unglam photos of me. So i shan't upload any. I'm kind of chaoda again cos of the transplanting and soccer during pe. I won't even call it soccer yet -__-. Pick up the ball, roll it to a friend and friend has to stop it with her foot. Repeat routine... I got chaoda for nothing.
Watching this anime now, Gunparade Orchestra. The ending song is good Has potential though the 1st epispde was a flop. A funny flop XD I've given up on kiss dum cos of some missing episodes, and there's not enough humour. Gintama is HILARIOUS! I love this anime! Haha the main character digs his nose and there's not a single cool or suave character in this anime, though they're all so good looking. Good enough for love at 1st sight ^_^ <3

Handsome shalnark =D

Okita sougo with his weapon.

Ok, i realised they don't look very alike here. Just the hairstyle and some of the features. And shalnark is way, way, way cooler than okita haha. All the characters in Gintama are idiots, but lovable idiots.
I shall stop typing now and continue watching anime.

Rantings 1

I've been acting kind of klutzy lately. Besides accidentally wrenching a few hair off while taking off my specs yesterday, i made a few mistakes here and there which i normally won't even dream of making. Went to the boon lay raja restaurant for lunch today with grandpa and parents. Almost walked straight into the door cos the person in front of me swung it shut X_X While sitting down, i sat on the table cloth and pulled it 1/4 off the table, upsetting all the cups in the process. Wonder how those experts do it.. pull the cloth off the table with everything still standing in their original positions. It takes years of practice and experience i suppose. Thankfully none of the cups broke and the waiters were really kind. 'mei guan xi, mei guan xi, bu xiao xin zhuo zhao ba le' with a very strong china accent XD

Was attempting to blow those bubbles.. you put this sticky glue-like substance on the end of a stick and blow through the other end. Anyone knows what i'm talking about here? Oh well, in the middle of bio mugging, i felt bored and decided to blow some of those bubbles. I failed terribly. It takes lots of skills lor. How fast you blow, how well you pinch the bubbles off the stick and whether youre alert enough to find holes and pinch them together, all matters. Out of 20 bubbles i blew, only 5 were successful. And the largest was only the size of donut T__T Disappointed.. Half way, i suddenly felt deprived of oxygen from blowing too much and went to take a nap. Slept for the entire afternoon again.


Mum bought me a new standing fan! It's brand is Akira so i shall call my new fan Akira XD Speaking of akira, i kind of miss the anime. Though the graphics are not up to standard, the music totally sucks and i couldn't get the meaning behind the anime... *ponders* Ah, i know what i miss about akira now. Nope, not the violence and gore. I miss the motorbikes =D The big red one which kaneda rides.. Was dreaming of riding on one and zoom my way everywhere. Wahaha, a strange fantasy of mine =D

Ok, the bike isn't red but orange =l But the bike in my fatasy is red. So be it.

20 songs of my life

I got this from karene. If her songs don't make sense, mine won't cos they're mostly in jap =l and i don't know the meaning of some of the titles.. Nvm, shall google them 1st.

Instructions
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesnt make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. Tag 5 ppl at their tagboard to ask them to do this!
5. Bold the questions and with the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

1. How are you feeling today?
Noble Roar
Fantastic! RAWR!!! That means my mood is.. hyper? IMA POWERFUL XD I'm not exactly feeling hyper, almost dozed off during the leadership talks this morning and slept for the entire afternoon. But i have lots of stuff to do! This song is the opening song of Innocent Venus.

Bound feathers melte into the sky,
with newly flown wings.
Like a bitter, spoiled fruit that fasinates mens' souls.
With white, polished fingersthe shadow that manipulates smells of blood.
The whisper of death calls to the suppressed, fading beat.
Bound feathers melted into the sky,what flies are silver wings.
Claw into the deep wind,
and become the power to cut through.


2. Will you get far in life?
Storm
T__T stormy? 2nd ending song for my otome zwei.

The mournful, mingling voices of the birds that take to the sky
Echo across the grasslands
For the sake of returning to that peaceful earth
I will pass through that final wind

Not too bad, I'll get through the final wind, whatever it is.


3. How do your friends see you?
Home sweet home (reborn)
Yes, i like to stay at home cos i dislike the sun, will make me chao da. XD This song is from bleach, by home made kazoku.

4. Will you get married?
The light before we land
I love the lyrics of this song, but it's hard to link to the question. Pretty hopeful lyrics.

Before we let euphoria
Convince us we are free
Remind us how we used to feel
Before when life was real

My interpretation: Life after marriage is like a dream. =D Check out the lyrics at animelyrics.com, under gunslinger girl. This song is the best anime opening ever.

5.What is your best friend's theme song?

Out of orbit
Eh.. A fast song. My best friend is an alien

6. What is the story of your life?
フレーム (Flame or frame)
My life is a fire, framed up. This song is sung by surface. Love the singer's voice

7. What was your primary school like?
Dopo Il Sogno - yume no ato ni (after the dream)
1st ending for gunslinger girl. Lyrics in italian. Fantastic, can't find anything haha. But from the name, my primary school was a dream too.

8. How can you get ahead in life?
Boukoku Kakusei Catharsis
Living is a glass of poison; the sadness of loving
We drink up; someone will grant us the skill
The quiet eagle sleeps and speaks beneath the moon
Just swooping down upon a wheezing voice
My life is a displayed toast filled up
The game of transient death is without end
The talons of the eagle of aloofness eat into the fortress
Just flapping its wings, it soars

I don't quite understand, but since living is a glass of poison, i'll wait for someone to come along and drink from my cup, and die from it. Hehe


9. What's the best thing about your friends?
Destiny
Gin-iro no Olynssiss 1st opening. A rather upbeat song. Can't find anything T____T

10. What song describes you?
Itoshii Hito E
Ending song for Seirei no Moribito. Can't find lyrics, pls help me T__T. But the chorus go 'arigato' so I thank people alot? Ahh.. Thankyou thankyou

11. Describe your grandparents.
Kiss ~Kaerimichi no love song
SWEET! They were lovey dovey? Haha this song describes a first kiss lasting forever. Part of the lyrics:
Ahh
With a face, you ask me"Hey, when I become old, will you still kiss me?"
But when that happens, I'll be the same way
I'l never let go of your hand

Hey, but i don't see my grandpa kissing my grandma..

12. How is your life going?
Kono Machi de wa Dare mo ga Mina Jibun Igai no Nanika ni Naritagaru
Stupid law of ueki. What's with the freaking long title for the 3rd ending? Urgh. Cant find much on this song. But judging from the title, my life is going on and on, never ending untill youre out of breath. This song has a cheerful tune.

13. How does the world see you?
All the way
XDXD LOL the world sees me all the way, all the way through till the day i drop dead. This is the opening for Kino No Tabii, a song i recently got. By Shimokawa Mikuni from 'The beautiful world' album.

14. Will you have a happy life?
Futari ga wasurenai (We Won’t Forget)
This song has a sad tune. T_T Ending song of Gunparade Orchestra.

What is this, I wonder? It’s nostalgic, isn’t it?
We used to gaze at this scenery without a single word
But we can never return to them now…
Even if my heart should change upon our fate,
The little memories of that day
Will definitely shine in my heart

15. What does your friend really think of you?
Portrait of tenderness
Fantastic, this song has no lyrics, only chobits calling 'hi-de-ki, hideki itterasshai.. Hideki, HIDEKI, HIDEKI! Okaerinasai~' at the start, then it's all piano and violin. From Chobits. So my friends think that I should dress up as a sexy and innocent robot and fuss over my master. MOE~~ XD

16. Do people secretly lust after you?
Groovin' magic
Yea.. with the help of some magic i can look more attractive and have ppl lusting over me. Opening song of Gunblaster 2 i think.

17. How can you make yourself happy?
Tsuki akari (moon light)
If you look at the sun without covering your eyes, you become blind. If you look at the moon without covering your eyes, you become a poet. XD Ending song of darker than black.


18.What should you do with your life?
Shoujo Meiro de tsukamaete
A girl's dream. So i should dream and yearn and find my true love out there. Eh, not exactly interested, i have better plans. Opening for Strawberry panic.

I embrace this more than dreams of yearning
More than yearning itself
I’m no longer just a maiden, I’m calling out my love
It’s not only, it’s not only me
Everyone feels this shyness, it won’t stop
Why do I desperately want to meet you?

19. Will you ever have children?
Te wo tsunaide (Holding your hand) Ending song for Jyu oh sei
I'm pretty sure it means yes. My children will hold my hand yay XD

Looking into my eyes,

you will touch on my heart
Let’s make a promises,
to get togetherwhenever we feel lonely
Can you hear my song
I sing for you every night?
If you mean it when you say that I’m alone
then come on and show me

Erm, i can
sing them to sleep! ^^

20. What song will you play at your funeral?
Comet cloud
I don't mind, it's a happy and sweet song ^^ I will become a star and shine brightly just for you! 1st opening for yakitake japan.

On the other side of a comet you see

a single star
whether it’s sparkling brithly or faintly
its light shines just for you
On the other side of the clouds in your heart
the signs can’t be seen
Go on, open your hands
What do you believe in now?

Summary: My life is pretty dreamy and sad.

Gosh, it was so hard getting the titles and lyrics. But i'm glad i finally completed all 20 questions. I'll leave the ppl i want to tag for another day X__X I'm so tired now! Sheesh Karene! You should know better than to tag me. Especially when i don't know jap. If i die of exhaustion tomorrow, you better play comet cloud during my funeral.

Highlight of my Malaysia trip-- cousins and animax

Wahaha, i enjoyed myself thoroughly during these 2 days. Did not buy much stuff but watched lots of anime. ANIMAX IS SO COOL! The 1st show i watched was a jap music programme where singers are invited to share about their songs and sing. Very sadly, i could only recognise Aqua timez and Tegomass. Tegomass sang 'Kiss kaerimichi no love song' which is the ending song for lovely complex. Man, the lyrics are so sweet! And they sang really well. ^^

Pei, my darling cousin has pretty good taste(inherited from me) and purchased a few more anime dvds in my absence. Let me list out what she has: 12 kingdoms, Jigoku shoujo, Jing the king of bandits, Ray, God save my king, Ouran high school host club and Chrono crusade. I grabbed Ouran and God save my king when i reached her house and started watching the next day. As usual, i couldn't help but feel sad during the last 2 episodes. But ouran has a happy ending XD. God save my king has lots of bishies and not much romance. But there is this very obvious shounen ai factor which i look upon with distaste. Other than that, this series should be watchable, though it has a lengthy 78 episodes.

While pei and yang were at school the next day, i spent the whole morning in front of the tv watching anime. Went to get my haircut and school shoes in afternoon. Yes, a hair cut. What should i say.. My new hair cut doesn't look half bad but if i were to take a picture, i'll still look twice as ugly. As i told Karene, some people can only look ugly and uglier in photos. -__- I've not tried tying my hair cos it's even shorter than last time. How how how?? Lol

My new school shoes! Yay. As Karene requested, i shall show everyone how my previous shoe looked like. Picture taken from karene's photobucket. In a pretty bad state huh?
Mum refused to let me buy any anime =( so i did not look around. Mission 2 not failed as mission was not carried out. Oh well
The next day i went back to penang and watched animax the whole day. Starting with Magikano, Ghost in the shell: stand alone complex, Dragon ball, Gun X sword, Galaxy angel, Yu yu hakusho. After yyh, i gave up and fell asleep. Blame it on galaxy angel, it was silly and boring. And after awhile, the advertisements become boring too. Animax will be showing Tsubasa chornicles season 2, Blood+, Fate stay night, Rec and a few other not my cup of tea anime.
Although i was not allowed to go anime hunting, i did not come home empty handed. My beloved cousin......... dung, i don't know how to spell his name. All my life i've been calling him Ah Tat kor kor LOL ._. Forgive me! T ^T Oh yes, he dug out yu yu hakusho manga for me. It's in a cd, so i have to read it on the comp. Still very cool XD Yyh has the same author as HxH and i've been looking for the manga online for quite some time so i'm happy!

Ok, back to history now.

Urgh, mum's nagging. Nvm i shall type as she talks. Feeling so tired now, woke up a 8+ and went for piano. Will be performing in a concert next year May. Scary~ Haha a solo and duet. Didn't go to the library cos i'm still on my 3rd book from last week. URGH i wish my mum can stop nagging. She's just ignoring whether i'm listening or not (i'm not listening) and rambling on and on. It's irritating!

Stepped on a thumbtack on the way home but thankfully it didnt reach my foot. I'm so grateful to my sandals XD *kowtows* Fathers' day celebration at my grandma house later. The same as usual i guess, only with more food to eat. Then at night i will have to rush to pack the luggage for tmr's flight. Let's see, tmr at this time i should be having lunch at my uncle's house in penang. Either that or i'll be waiting for something to happen at my aunt's house. OH YES, there will be animax. Yay! The godly channel, where even advertisements are about anime. Wonder what's showing on animax now. Last time i watched, animax was promoting Black Jack and Solty Rei.

I think i shall take a nap now *_*

Q and A lol

I have a sudden urge to abandon the blog XD Shall write about things i like: ANIME! =D
What anime are you watching currently?
Ok, let me list them out. Starting from the weekly instalment ones.
Bleach- the latest episode 129 was something like a filler and i was rather disappointed. Get on with the story lah, or all the fans will move on to another anime. One good point though, shinigami golden cup is back. I kind of missed it when they replaced it with the arrancar dictionary (or something along that line)

Darker than black- one of my favourite anime currently. Though it lacks a main plot, each episode is full of action. Enough action to keep me interested and continue watching. Not to mention the great opening song and graphics. I love the abilities of each contractor, so special and unique. Hei is becoming hotter with every episode. Already at episode 9, they should start introducing the main plot or people will lose interest.

Claymore- one word to describe : FANTASTIC XD A great deal of fighting and surprises ever since Teresa was introduced. A far cry from the first few episodes which were boring and irritating with the Raki, male character, crying each time. But after exploring Clare's (antagonist) past in episode 5, the plot became soooo addictive. Come to think of it, episode 5 was also the episode they left out Raki. Wahaha perhaps i have something against whiny guys. *Will suffer from withdrawal symptoms if i don't watch a new episode of claymore every week.* For those who are interested, a note of caution. Claymore is slightly gory.

The following anime are ahead of my watching pace, so i don't have to wait every week to watch them.
Innocent venus- *Bishie alert!* Didn't catch my attention initially, i actually watched 2 episodes of it and stopped for a month before resuming. The plot caught on at episode 3 because more characters were introduced. A story of betrayal. Pretty cliche actually, but still worth watching to see the development (and the bishies).

Ayashi no ceres-*Bishie alert!* I know, i know, this is a rather old series. Hardly my style too cos it's romance, the 'into your bones' type -__- Love triangles, bitterness and a little of fighting. Still watching it now cos i'm a few episodes away from the end plus it has a bitter sweet ending and i'm in the mood for that ^^. Infact i'm watching Ayashi no ceres as i type this.

Kiss dum engage planet- A pretty new series. I've just started watching, so can't comment much. The 1st episode looked pretty promising, but the development went increasingly messy at epispde3. The worst thing was, they actually put a recap at episode4! Gosh, making a recap episode so early is a waste of time. I shall watch a few more episodes before deciding further.

Was watching Ayatsuri Sakon too, but stopped. Detective anime isn't in my range of 'watchable' genre.

What anime do you want to watch but don't have the chance to?
Aha! LOTS. Noir- because of the songs and assassins (love assassins ^_^)
Madlax- the songs are the main attraction again and i've heard pretty positive comments about this series
Trinity blood- Vampires! And i'm in love with the ending song 'broken wings' The manga was really well drawn too, i have books 1 and 2. Available for borrowing haha. Trinity blood has been on my watchlist for a long time.
Vampire hunter D- Yes, vampires again.
Black lagoon- It brings to mind Trigun for some strange reason, and i've seen some parts (the action scenes). Left a strong impression.
Kenshin- I can't believe i've not watched this yet. Can be considered a classic thus a must-watch! I was lucky to see the movie 'Samurai X-reflection' on animax and was so touched that i cried at the end.

I hope to get some of those titles in malaysia. Yup, that will be my mission, along with cutting my hair. Failure is NOT and option! ._.

I've finished another 2 history essays, 5 more to go! All homework done except for history and personal statement. I'm confident of completing them after i return from malaysia next week. Also did lots of revision yay!

The above paragraph was an attempt to convince myself that i have not been slacking my holidays away.

Hi leng lui~

This seems to be a popular pick up line in online games. Yes, i have successfully abstained from maple since last year, quite an achievement i guess. But now when i look back, this phrase 'hi leng lui' just keeps popping up. Ah.. mmorpgs are really addictive, they appeal to people of all ages. Example, when i 1st introduced my cousins in malaysia to maplestory, my target audiences were the 'young' ones. Never did i expect my uncle, a charming and busy 'young' businessman to get hooked. (Sorry ppl, he's taken. Happily married to my aunt with 2, now maple-crazy, kids) The last time i checked, he was training a level 131 ice and lighting mage in D world. And that was half a year ago. There's a pretty high chance that the character is already lvl 200. My poor spider9 is still at lvl 53 T__T Account suspended

Back to topic, I used to wonder what those people who go 'hi leng lui' were thinking. Do they know that it sets off an alarm bell in my head? *Pervert alert* Call me paranoid but i have my reasons. And for those who don't understand canto, they will just be thinking 'Gee! What a horrible typo, it looks out of the world' or 'This poor guy cant speak english, he's on the wrong server.' The more flirty ones will reply 'hello handsome' and i have no idea what happens next since i tend to change channel during such encounters.

Trust me, this happens alot in maplestory, or in any online rpg games (at least during 'my time'). Ask any girl. Perhaps, i would have responded more willingly if the pick-up lines were more interesting rather than 'hello lenglui/pretty/beautiful' and please 'Have i seen you somewhere before?' doesn't apply here.

'You make Paris Hilton look like a teletubbie.' LOL

Me and fausty. I kind of miss the old times when we trained together =(

Bored is my name

Is it even possible for someone to get so bored? Started on history essays this morning after breakfast, 2 paragraphs and here i am, writing a post for this new blog. So now you know, this blog was started out of boredom. I've been known to abandon blogs after creating them. Wahaha blame it on a certain karene for creating blogs for me then forgetting the password. -_-

Why did i dream about fish? X__X must be the late night movie i watched yesterday, Altered Species. Flesh eating rats. The atmposphere was pretty good, with the deserted building and a bunch of blood craving rats. The giant rat, however, spoiled the show. The supposedly gigantic and scary rat (main antagonist) looked so freaking fake that i roflmao instead of shivering and screaming my guts out. It was so.. kiddish, i could see the bits of fur they stuck on.
Altered species 2 looks more promising, with spiders *grins* I just hope that the giant spider (if theyre still using this plot) can look more life like. So much for the bad visual effects, i still dreamt of fish last night. Fish are scary ok..

I know i'm not making sense, i dont intend to. Lunch is chao guo tiao. Again.
