Touch

Started watching Touch a few days ago.

The whole idea of the 36 individuals having the ability to see the world in patterns, numbers and sequences. How everyone is linked to each other through even the smallest ways, returning a lost phone, holding the door open for someone, being bumped up the waiting list for a flight, etc.

There's this scene where a girl, Amelia, who's one of the 36, predicts the future by naming the result of an entirely random game. I forgot for a moment there that this was actually a film and was soooo amazed by it. Haha. Silly, I know. =P

Stuck at episode 7 of season 2 now. Waiting for the rest to air.

Sighhh. The wait is killing me!!!!!!

PS: David Mazouz as Jake in this series is so unbearably cute!!!!!! ❤

China-sification

Went to Metrocentre today with two friends and saw this at a store. Nothing amazing unless you take into account the fact that this is in Newcastle, UK.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, it is the year of the snake this year. And guess what? Build-A-Bear decided to join in the fun!!

We found this snake shaped stuffed toy in the shop which had a tag attached to it - containing information on the Chinese lunar years. (forgot to take a picture of the details, but owel)

Makes you rethink about the extent of the impact China has on the global economy eh? - that is if you're still not acknowledging it.

Clash of style

Just had a photoshoot today for the upcoming North East Malaysian Night.

Our play director managed to borrow a few baju kurungs for me. Unfortunately, the top that we decided would be better for my role as mum was missing its bottom half so I had to pair it with another skirt. Throw in the pair of converse I was wearing.... makes quite an interesting outfit, I must say. HAHA!!!

Can't wait for the show already. But also kinda dreading it since it would mean my dissertation proposal should be finished by then. Plus, sorting out the minor details of the Eurotrip as well - advanced tickets and the like.

I've got work cut out for me next week then it would seem. Sigh.

Historical Dramas

Finished 三国 last summer which was 90+ episodes. And watching 楚汉传奇 now. Kinda crazy how I can actually watch these historical dramas. This one is 80+ episodes long!!!

Got sidetracked by googling the characters in the drama and learnt so much about the history of China this way.

I think I'm getting a little too addicted to Chinese historical era.


These shows got me thinking. They say history is written by the victors. You have to agree with the truth that statement contains.

Then again, the show, 大太监 by TVB also presented another view on the infamous duo, 慈禧太后 and 李莲英.

You can debate on who's the 'good' guy and the 'bad', you can judge the decisions and actions of the people in the past. But, how much is true, and again - how can you judge decisions made during war-times when we are in a relatively peaceful era?


Watching these shows further proves a point - every coin has two sides. Its up to you to think about them both and not just judge blindly.

The Rebirth

Blogging was once the hype amongst my friends. And getting into university changed that.

First, it was how no one else was blogging, so gone was the fun.
Second, I just lost interest. Simple as that.



They were more of social blogs really. Not me pouring myself into them. Just, bits and pieces of interesting junk.

Just went through two of my old blogs. And my, my, were they insightful.
The person I was, the person I thought I wanted to be - So different from how I see myself now.

So different, the way I wrote.
So different, the way I looked at the world.
So different, the priorities I had.

So different.



Backed up a copy of the posts and removed them off the internet.
And now, I shall be picking up blog-writing again.

A toast to the creation of this blog!!!!
- and years down the road, I shall look back and smile at all that has happened.
