Paranoid, Or Not?

Hearing endless news about natural disasters, especially earthquakes and tsunamis all around the world really leaves my heart aching for the unfortunate residents in those countries. And at the same time, feeling extremely grateful to be in Malaysia, one of the safest countries free from deadly natural disasters.

Imagine yourself being one of the victims. One fine morning you wake up from bed in a great mood, you do your usual daily routine, carry out your favourite hobby and all of a sudden, you find yourself being jolted all around, trying your very best to gain stability while the pieces of concrete started crumbling down from your house ceiling. Isn't that scary? I have not experienced such situation before but frankly speaking, it sent shivers down my spine when I watched movies with earthquakes. I always try to picture myself in those situations and snap out of my imagination at once. It always seems easy when I read the safety precautions in the net when an earthquake occurs but in reality, I know it isn't.

Look at the number of cases this year. Check out this page on Wikipedia on the list of earthquakes that happened in 2011. It's just heart-breaking to see the long and seemingly never ending list. There are still around 2 more months till the end of 2011. And the list will go on and on... Not to forget, the TSUNAMI.

The most serious case this year was the earthquake and tsunami that occured in the Tohoku region of Japan. It had triggered a deadly tsunami which had caused a widespread of damage and fatalities. Can you believe it, the death toll had reached up to 15828! While the number of injured victims was 5942 with 3760 people still missing. (Source : Wikipedia)

Take some time to read this. It has gotten the compassionate side of me. :'( How heart-wrenching, especially the letter from a mother to her daughter and son. Aramatheydidnt

Just look at how much damage the horrendous wave had done to Japan. :(

A couple of days ago, mummy rang me up and told me about the earthquake in Bali. A 6.0 magnitude earthquake. Although there wasn't any fatalities, many were injured (around 50). Not again! Now that has left me thinking, is it safe for me to be in Bali end of this year? I will be going there for an end year vacation from the 16th to the 20th of December. I'm kind of worried to be honest. Maybe I am just paranoid but I am taught that in life, anything can happen at anytime and anywhere. All I can do now is pray to God to keep my loved ones and I safe during the trip. There will be around 20 of us going, please let us come back safely. Thank you. :')

Life Is Beautiful

Many things in life may be beautiful. It only depends on how you look at it, whether you choose to accept it with a smile or hold a grudge against it.

As for me, I'm trying my very best to look at everything positively as being depressed is a waste of life. We only have a limited time to live on Earth, so, treasure every moment and live life to the fullest. If learning to accept can exchange something for happiness, then why not go for it?

I've done that and I think I'm doing pretty well. In these few days, there is not a single day I'm feeling down. Mum asked, "How come you're not angry at *a particular incident*? Usually you'll be all sad and frustrated." Well, all I did was answer, "I told you I've learnt to accept everything that comes to me with a smile, I don't want to live life like before anymore. It's tiring." And so, it's effective, really.

Well, maybe you can allow yourself to let out and express your feelings, be it exasperation or joy to your friends or even parents. Choose a friend who'll always be there for you and never doubt you for who you are. Of course, parents are the best people on Earth to express your feelings to. I have the most amazing parents, I have to say. They're the best parents I could ever ask for. Although I must admit that they annoy me sometimes when they nag at me or even blame me for no reason but remember, SMILE. And always keep in mind that whatever they're doing is all for your own good. There are no parents on Earth who put their children at a disadvantage, are there? The simple five-letter word does really help you to handle your emotions.

Recently, by doing this, I've slowly discovered the beauty of life and people around me. I've also discovered the importance of having a few close friends around me. A few is enough to colour your life and make it meaningful. :) You may not change immediately but remember, you're slowly coping with it, just like me. :P

Friend

Friends.

Are there really true friends who care sincerely for you, like what we see in dramas?

Lately, I kept on asking myself this.

Because I'm no longer sure anymore.

A fair-weather friend, you are.

During the good times you are here.

During the bad times you are nowhere to be seen.

I think.. I'm tired.

I'll just follow the flow.

Yes, that's what I'll do.

I really hate to take it this way, but that's what you  make me feel.

I really hope one day we can be like this again.

Or maybe the problem lies in me, I don't know.

Yes, many things have changed this year and I have no choice but the accept it.

Life's not easy after all, right?

:)

Hope

Hope.

There are lots of things to hope for this year.

First and foremost, I really hope that everything would sail smoothly for me this year.

SPM, especially.

Having to sit for exams for every month from now on except for June, I really hope that I won't have mental breakdown at anytime soon. I always keep the peribahasa "alah bisa, tegal biasa" in mind. XD

I also hope that I can gain confidence in everything I do.

Lack of confidence is really bringing me down and to overcome this weakness of mine, lots of effort is needed.

I think... I've opened my eyes to lots of new things this year. Well, not exactly new things, but things that I've never even thought of doing before.

I've also met a few new friends as well as being in touch again with old friends.

:)

Once you choose hope, anything's possible..

And yes, I do believe that anything's possible as to me, true success only comes with a person's own effort.

Don't always depend on someone to achieve what you want, you've gotta work hard yourself.

Nothing comes without blood, sweat and tears.

I'm a person who always says "I'm gonna die~!" when a challenge is thrown at me but deep down in my heart, I know that I have to do my best to tackle it and not just give up hope like that.

Actually it has become a habit for me to say that and it's pretty difficult to get rid of it. XD

I always think, "If people can do it, then why not me?"

Hope never abandons you, you abandon it. (:

祈る

突然気が付いた。

マレーシアにすんでいることは本当によかっただよね。

もし日本やインドネシアなどの国に住めば、

何か起こるのがわからない。

いつもニュースを見て、心が痛くなります。

とても残念です。

地震の感じを全然知らないけど、怖いだと思います。

災難なんて怖いですよ！＼(゜□゜)／

みんなもそう思ってません？？

怖くないんですか？！

めちゃめちゃ揺れてる見たいな～

何も出来ないから、

今から日本にいる皆さんの無事をお祈りします。

今出来ることはこれだけです。

頑張ってね、日本！

Forbidden Love Melody

Just finished watching Snow Prince ~Kinjirareta Koi no Melody~ or Snow Prince ~Forbidden Love Melody~.

One word. Touching.

You might find it slightly boring at first because the story expands very slowly, but everything in the movie is so beautiful, the snow, the nature, the pure love between two person and even the actors and actresses. Oh, the dog too. It's named Chibi although it's not really chibi. I cried like a mad woman at the ending because I didn't expect such ending. It was damn sad. A very very heartbreaking ending. :(

Feel it from your heart. It was love.

God created winter for us to feel each other's warmth.

Morimoto Shintaro, the lead actor. Or should I say Ryutaro's brother. He'll grow up to be a very successful star, mark my words. Doesn't he look a bit like Kim Bum in this picture? :P

Harada Sota and Harada Chibi.

Sota and little Chibi.

This is one of the most touching parts in the movie. Watch it and you'll understand. :D

And the ending song is of course Snow Prince by Snow Prince Gasshoudan! I'm all in love with this song again. :)

That's Chibi and Sota sitting on the floor btw. :)

Trailer of the movie. The background music's Snow Prince. :D Very, very beautiful song. The live performance is even more beautiful. Ahhhh. *dreamy smile*

The warm tears will embrace the coldness of winter. I love this.

Snow Prince's MV. I've posted this before in Lyodts' blog but still, I love it soooo much! There are some scenes from the movie in the MV too.

Dreams...?

Do you guys realise that, the more you anticipate something, the harder it is to achieve that something?

Well, at least that's the case for me.

It's like.... Anticipating something that's obviously not gonna happen to you but yet, you're yearning for it. What exactly is happening to me nowadays? Watching people getting their wishes fulfilled without needing much effort while me, myself is hoping and longing for something that seems so near yet unreachable. Sometimes I truthfully feel like just giving up on hope and move on with life, but I just can't muster all my courage to do so. I guess I'm just a weakling on the inside.

To be frank, even the slightest sparkle I see in my life is enough to enlighten my entire day. I can be all blissful and chirpy throughout the whole day, unless some really bad news threaten to ruin that bright mood of mine. Actually I'm a pretty easy person to console whenever I'm having an emotional breakdown although I'm not sure if I have ever had one. Have I? However, I'm basically feeling down almost every day, and even that is unexplainable by myself. Pretty obscure, is it?

Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams. Let's see to what extent this saying is true. :)

What if...

I've been pondering.....

What if... Our world changes and humans have no conscience at all in them? They can just act brutally without considering others' feelings and without the slightest guilt in them?

What if... They live only for themselves and whatever that happens to the people around them are not their business at all? Having friends will be like, just for the sake of having companions but when a friend faces a problem, it doesn't matter at all to them as long as they're not affected. How awful will that be?

Of course, this is not occuring to us yet but who knows what'll happen in the future? People will be living with ulterior motives and a hideous personality hidden in them. Maybe I'll eventually become one of them too. And once again, who knows?

I'm only using them because I don't think any of us living in this world is like that yet, and I certainly hope this will maintain eternally or possibly even better.

FOREVER

Found a video in Youtube, FOREVER by Monkey Majik. A very happy yet touching video.

Oh, the human spirit is just so beautiful. And it's just so...SWEET. ♥♥♥

In other news, Arashi's new album, Boku no Miteiru Fuukei sold 275081 copies today! Awww.. They're always so awesome. =) ARASHI FTW!!

Btw, I got home early from tuition today because Mr. Alan's son was admitted into the hospital. He has been down with fever for around 7 days already. Hope he gets well soon. =) Our class was supposed to end at 10.15pm but teacher went back at around... 9.50pm I guess?

--------------------------------------------

Anyway, I found these pictures over at hey_say community and they're so adorkable. xD JUMP at KAT-TUN's Asia Tour concert as guests.

JUMP while waiting for their turn to go onto the stage.

Haha. Yamada's pants are super baggy.

I think they were teasing Koki about his height maybe? Read the MC section translation a few days ago and can't remember it well now. Only remembered that Kame called Hidarime Tantei EYE as Hidarime Tantei EYES. Lol.

D'aww.. ♥

B2ST in Malaysia - 1 Utama

So, went to 1 Utama today. Saw the golden heads of B2ST members. Lol. xD

This was before they reached. And I actually got halau-ed by the guards. Gah.

Okay, no faces can be seen at all.

Okay, can you see two golden heads? Lol.

OHHHH They stood up! And there the fans went screaming again. Lol. xD

This picture was taken by mummy. She actually went over the line. Haha. And the picture's kinda blur because I zoomed. xD

This was actually my first time hearing fans shouting and screaming their lungs out in real life. And I really feel like going to a concert soon. Lol. Although I know it's not possible. But HOLY that was loud. xD

Today was indeed a very tiring day. Have to rest my feet. They're desperate for rest, you see. xD

Totally irrelevant topic :

Bought this during Daddy's Day at Sunway. First time buying this kind of shirt. I hope it doesn't collect dust in my wardrobe though. xD

-End of blog post-

At last~!

At last, I am free!!! Wait, not exactly free yet. All because of Mrs. Yong (learnt from Ding) and my stupid printer. I basically finished all my projects, only left to be copied down onto the paper. So I am happy enough. =)

Had a nice chat with Ding and her sister today, which made me grinned from ear to ear. Not only that, my grin upgraded to laughing out loud. Almost rolled on the floor. What's ですよ?! She was... so... lame. Haha. *end of story*

I have nothing much to say but I suddenly felt like blogging. Have to go to a wedding dinner later. *sighs* I hate wedding dinners.

Btw, just downloaded Myojo's May's batch of magazines and realised this really cute picture.

Yamada's dog wearing sunglasses! Is it Kuu or Cookie?

Gonna go prepare myself for the wedding dinner now. Sayobye~!

Before that, wanna share this song with you guys although you might've listened to it before already.

Run Devil Run by Girl's Generation a.k.a SNSD.

Very catchy song. Not bad. =D

Heavenly Days

I turn off the time to wake up before the alarm clock ressounds
I don’t know why but I can already remember you

I wonder if, before I know it, I’ll forget

even the miracle of being able to meet you for one hundred minutes

Will I end up forgetting even that I’ve forgotten?

Heavenly days, in the room in the pocket of my heart

I look for your vanished warmth

Even if there’s no way to feel you ever again, ah

I’m locking up those days that are still a bit warm

Tired of walking, I sat down and was at a loss, if you were with me

We could have talked about something like our unbearable dream’s fate

I couldn’t say it by the ticket barrier, I wanted to say

That I feel “Thank you” are maybe words

much sadder than “goodbye”

Heavenly days, I wonder if I could smile properly

At the scene of our last kiss, I couldn’t even

grasp your shivering hands, not even my tears fell, ah

Now that it’s too late, they overflow when I’m alone

Heavenly days, in the room in the pocket of my heart

I look for your vanished warmth

Even if there’s no way to feel you ever again, ah

Even if I stretch out my hands, you’re not here anymore

I’ll walk on under a new light

Kanojo no Natsu 彼女の夏

I really like this melody. Enjoy~
