awaken!!!....................?

well, i had these few dreams today(its 14th Sept) and the dream is between 1.45am and 6.45am.(cuz this is around the time i felt asleep)

i had more than 2 dreams. but there're only 2 where there's some symbolic in them.
the 1st one is cockroach, the dream is vague(again) but i'm sure i saw cockroach came out under the chair like there's a hole under the chair but cannot b seen because the chair's footing block it. cockroach coming out from under the chair is like endless, then mayb i was freak out with so many cockroach i had passed out(passed out=dream ended la).
the 2nd one is snake. oh gosh this snake is hanging on the other double decker bed while my position is lying on the lower part of another double decker bed which is close to that bed. its like a 50-100cm distance watching the snake hanging on there then suddenly swing itself like its going to acrobatic jump on me. the setting of the location feels like its my sis' room. because i sense a feeling that the snake is swinging its way in order to jump on me, so i automatically call my sis while having trouble moving my body because of anemia-like drowsiness(hope u get what i mean). before i was fully able to move my body, my sis wake up and call my mom. then there goes something happen which i dont recall the detail but 1 thing for sure is the dream ended when i lie on the floor(probably fall from bed) and the snake was killed when its crawled on my body.(=.= that instance i dunno why but i feel like there're needle-like pain on my chest-stomach area).

so here's an even interesting part. dreamMood suggest cockroach represents uncleanness and said i will need a renewal(emotional and physiological). astrocenter suggested snake is a symbol of transmutation and will soon undergo a vast inner change(sound like renewal?).
so if link both these dreams its like i need a self-renewal and it will happen soon enough, lol?
to my fantasy for an instant it sounded like i'm going to gain self-realization and 'evolve' XD

though i said so, but when i check dreamMood(Snake) it said aside something similar from astrocenter(bout transmutation), snake could also mean bad things like "a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted"(though there're those forbidden sexual thingy but i dont think its the case since it said "if the snake is on your bed" which for my case, the snake is on the opposite bed)

anyway, hope this kind of thing entertains you

a weird and vague dream

1st Sep, probably morning.

well, i was sleeping in this time, so there's no way i know the exact time when i had this dream.

its kinda vague of what i remember, but......
well, here's what i recall:

the first thing is blurry, but i'm sure this is the starter of this 'story' but i forgot what it is. then followed by i sit in a car with my dad driving it(dunno why instead of front seat i was sitting on the back seat). somehow i was staring on the sky and saw something(i think it was an plane), failed and crushing down towards our direction. then here's another part i forgot but it somewhat links me to think there're some kind of disaster coming and airplane crashed because of this disaster. the car was some sort like Mitsubishi Pajero, and i think while we were escaping, the car drive through a road where there're a flood on it(something like what we see when its heavily raining while the drain is stuck and thus water flood). i think we were heading home trying to meet up with the rest of the family. on the way i told my dad to go to the minimarket near my place to gather supply we need because the main town is in chaos and it will be too late to turn back to get supply from bigger store in the town.

there's also a vague part which i'm not too sure when it happen but it also has something to do with airplane crashed(and somehow i think there're more than just airplane falling from the sky), falling downwards towards us(its me and my friend this time.) the location was somewhere nearby my housing area, or maybe it is in my housing area.

then........... ended?
sorry my memory was too blurry and i had no idea how come such 'story' appear in my mind.
by the way, i think the 'disaster' i thought had something to do with Aliens?


anyway, something interesting when i read 'dream dictionary' about 'airplane' and 'father':
Airplane
1. Escape from the mundane exigencies of the lower world.
2. Freedom.
3. The search for higher consciousness. Travel into the higher realms
Astrological parallels: Sagittarius or Aquarius. (lol i'm Sagi)
Tarot parallel: The World

Father
This symbol is highly personalized, and should be considered in light of your relationship with your father. Generally, dreaming of a father (yours or anyone else's) represents authority, while mothers represent love and protection. If your relationship with your father was good, dreaming of him implies advancement and/or assistance from authority figures in your life. If your relationship with him was strained, however, dreaming of him indicates trouble coming from authority figures, such as your boss. If you're dreaming of a dead parent, especially if he or she is speaking to you, important news is coming your way. Whether the news is good or bad depends on other dynamics in the dream.

**my relationship with my father isn't very good nor very close, though not very bad either. but maybe i think the part "dreaming of him indicates trouble coming from authority figures" is somewhat possible

Flood
1.Water is a universal symbol for emotion, and thus a dream of a flood indicates that a plethora of deep feelings is coming the dreamer's way. If the flood is warm, gentle and comforting, the feelings will be positive, and possibly could involve romance. But if the flood is dark, cold, and overwhelming, be prepared for emotional turmoil.
2.Being swept away by a flood warns that someone of the opposite sex whom you trust may be trying to use you.
3.Escaping from the flood, especially if you continue to reach high ground, indicates overcoming a great difficulty

**i only recall my dream to drive pass a small area of flood, so i guess 2nd and 3rd doesn't apply?

Car
1. Motion, movement away from one thing and towards another.
2. Speed, acceleration.
3. Freedom.
Astrological parallel: Sagittarius (Sagi again lol)
Tarot parallel: The Chariot


whether these indicates anything or not, to me what's interesting is the dream itself, and the possible meaning linked between 'Airplane', 'Father', 'Flood' and 'Car'.

electricity out in 22nd Aug. 00:00 to 05:00

well, the notification stated to be 00:00 - 04:00, 4 hours. but in the end it took longer than that, 5 hours in fact.

the beginning 2 hours for me is, kinda fun. because such scene of no lights around the town except the moon's, somehow looks significant to me. the first few minutes after electric out, i was walking around trying to look on how people are going to react to this 'event'. at first i thought people might have something fun like lighting up candles, set up a table outside the house, chit-chat or play cards on the table. but it turn out that everyone is rushing to leave the place when the electric is out.

should i say as expected of city-people? if anyone was having the same experience i had in my childhood, they would rather do a lot of things to enjoy the light out, like the few i had stated. well yes, it is chinese's July. so of course people afraid and all, but if they really afraid of such things then they won't be even trying to 'run away' from this town even if they had to ride a bicycle to far away. well of course i didn't follow them so i can't judge whether or not they really ride to bike to leave the town, but at least they doesn't seems to enjoy the light out.

truth is, this 'event' is a little bit disappointed because the sky is filled with scattered clouds, at the same time the moonlight is too bright. so bright that i can see my shadow clearly like it was dawn. so stargazing is definitely out of question. what's left for me to do, is not 'playing' with candles nor playing cards, because there's no one to do it with me. so i bring along Maon (my violin) to a place where almost no one would pass by, and practice for 2 hours long.

at the beginning of the practice, it is just like always, i play a lot of ugly noises. as time pass, the sound is more refined and gets better. but the strange thing is, all of the sudden a certain tone fails everything i play it. i keep on trying the music over and over again, but only that single tone runs wild, but it works fine when i play the tone alone without the overall music. then this is when i get a weird feeling that something was around me. that instant, i felt scare in a long while, but quickly turn calm and observe the surrounding. though i hold a little fear, but i still hope i can see 'it' if 'it' really exist. looking around every short moment after the tone runs wild, i gave up repeating the same thing, and also the fear was somehow buildup because of the tone making weird sound.

i pack things up and walk back home. to my surprise, the area is much darker than i first saw it. maybe because when i first saw it there were many cars going in and out and make the area fill quite bright, even when there's no street lights were on. on the way home, i realize i'm still a human. because both places are dark, without light and anyone around, i felt rather relieve and more calming than in that place where i felt 'something'. maybe it simply because that place has no human at all, while this place has no human on the outside, but there's a lot in the houses.

after that, i bath using a villager's method of bathing. just imagine how to properly bath with cold water without water heater. good thing the weather wasn't cold, but it is also bad because that makes it a bit too hot to sleep. so i had no choice but to listen to some music and do some for-fun-programming with my NetBook until the electric is back. but well, along the way i stop listening to music because i think i had a few noises at the back but saw nothing when i turn back.

this is rather a nice experience of sensing 'something'. though it is also possible that i create my own imagination.

perseid meteor shower (13th August 2010)

its midnight, i took a few breads and a hot milo to keep myself warm because hrs ago there was raining, so outside is damn cold now.

today is 13th Aug midnight. i went out to a dark area in hope to look at the meteor shower (named perseid). i was very excited at first because i mistaken currently was 12th mid night, but well its my biological hour that made me mess up with the time n date.
the reason to be excited is because 12th is the peak of Perseid meteor rain, from the internet i found the max it could go is 60 meteors per hour. but too bad its 13th now, so there're less meteors.

how less? i had no idea, but based on my experience alone, 2 hours, assume when the haze raise for a short moment there were no meteor, i had seen a total of 4 meteors(or just call it shooting stars). the first one is roughly 12.30-12.45am, it was a rather 'short-tailed' shooting stars that is quite bright, yet disappear in less than a second. i got slightly lucky after that, so the 2nd shooting stars flies shortly after the first one. for that instant i mistaken the 'rain' is going to start n get all hype up. but sadly it isn't, or at least the meteors didnt scratch through earth's atmosphere so overall in 2 hrs, i only saw 4 meteors.

when i said the first shooting star is quite bright, it means i saw an ever brighter one later. it was the last one i saw (the 4th shooting star). the 3rd one is less bright but flies slightly longer, while the 4th one is bright n last longer than others as well, probably a second full or even more. it is also kinda huge because the meteor's "tail" is visible as a bright light, and even leave an after-image for a split second.

since i already took 2 hrs, and there is no holiday for me at all, so i conclude my meteor shower watching and go back home. there was very little meteors to be seen, but the last one is truly an unforgettable one, so could say i'm satisfied. but i sworn to myself at the same time, next year's Perseid i'm going to view it until dawn. (fyi, Perseid meteor rain occurs once a year. almost everytime August being its peak)

Kampar pasar!

i slept at 6am. but wake up around 8.30am just simply to go to old town's pasar.
nothing serious, just that i rarely get the chance to go there, while i missed the food there.
also i need to re-supply my cooking ingredient (just fishball and some tofu though).
reach there by taking a ride from Tomato. once get the car parked, we walk into the pasar area where there's a hell lot of raw ingredient being sold.

'ew..' the first thing came to my mind. the smell of seafood， animal blood and meats. but well this is one of the 'essence' of pasar. it rather make me felt "ah.... i'm in a pasar" just like when i was a kid. so yes, it is a rather nostalgia feeling though this is not my hometown's pasar.
the next thing, smell of vegetables and soils lol. another 'essence' of pasar. though i didn't need any fruit or vegetables, i just happen to pass by when looking for 'fish' areas. umm, yes, fish. we (me n tomato) saw a lot of fishes still alive and moving/jumping. looks so funny and reminds me of Sven. and it somehow seems amuse to look at the fish getting slaughter >=)
just kidding, i can't stand blood really much actually. that's why i never try to cook anything that requires me to cut/slaughter meat.

after buying the ingredient i want. we go to the next 'area' for breakfast. there's a street in between these 2 'areas', and this street also has stall selling various stuffs, more in prepared foods than raw. looking at those foods i can't help but to wanted to eat them all. its nothing special on the food, just that it is been a long time since i last eat any of them (stuffs like tofu fa, yao zha guai, etc). but well, in the end i decided to go into that the other 'area' for breakfast first.
inside there i ate 'lo mai fan' aka glutinous rice for english, then 'chao gui diao' , and drink a cup of ipoh white coffee. it is simple yet luxurious (for me).
after eating those, we get out and buy some more food from the street we previously passed by, and 'yao zha guai' + 'tofu fa' was bought, to be eaten later on.

foods are nice. umm.....

violin - ま温

i got my first violin and its beginner lesson on Tuesday(27th Jul).
i was so darn excited that after the class finished (8pm), i was still there inside the class and continue to practice until over 9pm. mayb others are not as excited as i am, or mayb it is me being the one who're over-excited, after 8pm, there was no one else in the room, which means i practice alone inside there for over 1 hour.

the night school is kinda nice. quiet and somehow horrific. but i find it to my liking. due to going home late, i actually found a good place for stargazing. it is somewhere inside the campus, near the lake. that area was unexpectedly dark and perfect for stargazing (as well as for crime to happen). but well, though i found a good place, if the night doesn't have a clear sky then everything is pointless.

anyway, holding my violin case(with my violin inside), walking in the night street where there's almost no one/motor/car around, it makes me feel like the whole street is mine. i felt rather comfortable than scare even though it is too quiet.

when i reach home, after rushing over in bathing and taking my dinner. i came to realize that i act almost like 'Hirasawa Yui': i give my instrument a name, and also stop my assignment in between to play my instrument. i almost wanted to hug it like a plushie when going to sleep. =.=
good thing i was able to hold myself back else my assignment won't proceed at all.

oh, erm... i named my violin ま温. it is pronounce as 'Ma-on', which the first time i see this name is from the singer called "kurosaki Maon" who sing the Ending Theme for 'Highschool of the Dead'. her name 'Maon' is written as 真音 though. i purpose like put my violin as ま温 simply because i found Maon's "ma" can be different word while having the same pronunciation. in a way the name could become "魔怨" or "真温", which has complete opposite meaning. these 2 words fits the reason why i wanted to play violin:
- to turn the always-heart-healing-voice of violin into fierce and furious voice >=D

well, what i mean by that is, by outlook and common people's view, Violin is a 'kind' & 'soft' instrument, and i liked to do things the opposite way one would normally think, so i wanted to play the violin with more intense and furious musics, like 'toccata and fugue' for example, to show that everything has two sides.

with that purpose, probably other instrument like piano is also possible, i don't disagree, it is just simply piano is not portable therefore i go for violin. Viola is also a choice, but i came to like high pitch voice of violin over viola's. so overall these are my reasons for wanted to learn violin.

oh yea, here's a picture of ま温, the quality is bad because the only camera i have is the NetBook's webcam.

black sky day, white sky night

in Kampar, or probably places close to this town, has this weird and kinda of depressing weather.

there's possibly 3 bad weather on day time:
last year it was like every afternoon there's always a chance of short rain(ones that start raining for few mins then stop), which cause the heat and humidity raise awfully, making the day unbearable unless stay in home.
then there're times the rain is much longer, probably too long that it last for almost 12 hrs. making us have to wet ourselves in order to get out for dinner/lunch. getting completely untouch by rain drops is hardly possible since the rain is quite heavy.
and the last one, probably not so bad, it's just dark clouds everywhere at the sky but the rain won't start any time sooner, sometimes even after the day had ended also no rain. in these kinda of day the temperature will be less hot. to better the situation, the rain only falls at afternoon until evening, making the whole afternoon not hot while leaving the chilly effect until evening, then decrease the night's temperature as well.

on night time, since its night already, most people won't bother how much rain there is, but not me. because my room's only window is above the roof's height(mine is mid room), therefore when rain heavier, rain drops splashed from outside to inside my room. have to wake up just to use a long stick to close the window. but then if the windows are closed on day time, it will cause my room to be too hot. so its like midnight i gotta get it close, then day time gotta get it open. kinda troublesome.

though i'm explaining how Kampar's weather is like, but my main point of this post is more on the rare scene of the sky, which i think only places like Kampar allow us to see these scene more often.
The Black sky Day: day time full of dark clouds while no rain at all.
The White sky Night: night time where moon light shines brightly and revealing all the white cloud on the sky.

another twisted fact of this world

*the following is completely my opinion with no discrimination nor intended offense*

i had seen a girl who are manlier than a real man.
i had seen a girl who's size is like a man.
i had seen a girl who looked like a man.
but the other round i havent seen any, not with my own eyes.
but they exist, take a look at these 2 video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlkYWuutRSg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJA4Wy6s9fc&NR=1
the first video's guy, not just look, even the voice is like a girl's.
the second video is slight better, the voice is not too alike of a girl's, but look prettier.

a man looked like woman, a woman looked like man.
they're like borned to be single, homo, or sex change.
can't say they're poor, but either can say they're lucky.
it is just a twisted fact of this world.

i respect these people as a human if they have good personality,
but what i'm concern is just simply that
"the world i once know is no longer what i currently know now"

おれの記憶、おれの思い - I

i always think i don't left much good memories when i was in secondary, but today after talking to one of my hometown friend, i recall something.

a short, everyday routine after school. my mom would always come to fetch me, with the old benz (which my dad bought it for around 5k or sort. pretty rusty and air-con broken). before using this car, we already fetch the other 2 friend of mine almost every day, but after using this car, we fetch even more people.

i last recall was 8 people at max. two girls in front (1 same year as me, 1 is my fren's lil sister), my mom on the driver seat, and 5 guys stuck-sandwich at the back. and these kind of days happened every single afternoon after school. yes, afternoon, freaky hot weather most of the time, air-con broken, the windows partially broken(front seat's cannot scroll down properly, back seat's cant' be scroll at all), so its exactly like a sandwich squeeze in lots of ingredient inside and put in the oven.

lets list down the people who sometimes, or everyday would had my mom fetch them.
-Khean Weng (aka Mango or Weng)
-Keng Leong (aka ah liang)
-Wan ting (no nickname from me, but some ppl called her 'oil' cuz she's chubby)
-yin shyen (salt fish! or just salty)
-Boon Kang (aka Katzhat, cockcroach, lipas)
-Li Min (katzhat's sister therefore Katzhat mui. but i simply call her siu muimui)
-my mom
-me.
so 8 people the record was.
not that great though, since last year's CNY, another fren of the same secondary school who's rich, also has his benz(but new and better one), squeeze in around 11 people. all guys.

hmm..... i guess that's all.
this is my first memory jot-down.
an 思い that i will not want myself to forgot.

microsoft's Hearts, aka Black Maria or Black Lady

let this link explain how the game is actually played

weird dream

the date was Jul 15th 2008,

12.52am is shown from my pc now,
i just woke up from my sleep,
i go in earlier than i usually do,
so i wake up late at night.

while sleeping, i had a dream.
the location is my hometown,
there's no one but my mom,
i wonder why is it my mom,
the event happen is weird enough,
UFOs fly around the neighbourhood.
like how we walk around and look at animals in the zoo.
so i was like became the animal,
my hometown is like a zoo,
those UFO just fly around like looking at 'animals'.

those UFO looks like a can drink,
i mean the they looked cylinder-like,
but shorter and fatter,
maybe kind of like a sardin tin,
but not that fat and short,
so in between a can drink and a sardin tin.
whatever.

what makes me surprise is,
i recall i had the same dream days before,
or maybe it's just yesterday,
u know, everytime wake up from dream,
we usually will forgot the minor detail of it,
and later the whole event will b forgotten.

but after this dream,
i recall back i had a similar dream,
same UFO, tin/can-like, but mayb a little different 'style' or pattern?
same flying around the neighbourhood,
same in my hometown,
but i dont recall my mom being there or not.
and it feels like i had this UFO+hometown dream for twice or more.

it feels so weird,
now i'm awaken,
i imagine that if a UFO really comes,
(actually in my dream there's a bunch of them)
i might just be very curious of why they come,
and wondering what's going to happen next,
doom? or new world?.

but in my dream,
i'm just so shock, and scared.
which i had no idea why i felt so.
and i dont recall any previous UFO dream,
that i'm very scared when i encounter them.(more like this is probably the only UFO dream i had)

so it's like i had a nightmare and woke up,
but i dont exactly think its a nightmare,
'cause after i'm awaken,
i think the dream is nothing much,
i dont felt any aftermath terror,
just feel that the dream is a weird one.

if what i recall is correct,
then i had 3 times dream of UFO,
2 of them happened to be in my hometown,
1 of them happened to have my mom inside the scene,
if there's any UFO dream again,
and its same plot, same person around,
and i really will start to worry what's happening to me next,
cant that i had psychic and can predict the future,
but its just a bit too much as coincidence.
anyway, before i end this post,
i will try to recall whatever i remember in the dream.

first, it starts by i look out the window in my living room,
i saw UFO 'jumping' around the street in front of my house,
then my mom look at those UFO and shout,
i dont remember her face, so i dont know she's shock or scare or surprise or what.
then i found myself already outside the house,
and the UFOs 'jumping' around me and my mom.
to be more specify, there's 1 or 2 jumping around,
the rest is float at the air,
around 5-6 of them floating.
somewhere within the event,
i remember i ask my mom:"what's going on?"
and my mom didn't answer,
or should i say, the scene change into outside my house,
er no, i dont saw my house,
i think my house gone instead of i got out from it.
after i ask my mom, the scene just change to outside field.
so far this is all i could remember.(its confusing i know)

about previous similar dream,
i only recall i'm looking at the sky from my window in living room(again),
but the UFOs arent flying around nor jumping,
instead, they're all at the sky,
a lot of them, like invasion.
unlike the one just had, the number of UFO is different.
erm..... and i think its a same looking UFO, or very similar one.

hmm...... i'm done recalling.
end post.

3rd day working in pizza csc

the date was Oct 2nd 2008,

finished bath, took my dinner, now's 10.26pm.
listening to my favorite artist's song (YUI).
ok, for today, at first i thought it will be the same as yesterday.
but eventually yesterday was calm before the storm.
after 6pm, the calls just keep on coming.
breaking my record of 95% talking time in 3 hrs.
zomg..... now my throat kinda hurts.
2 bottle of water finished, +1 can of iced lemon tea.

tml is my off day, working til 9pm is kinda ok.
tml i will sleep as much as i can.
and.... the triple rate is now over.
now i'm kind of lazy to work at there, since without triple rate its only Rm4 per hour.
plus i had receive contact that there's another part time that pay on spot after works
and he pays me RM60, ZOMG!!! but too bad this job is random, it could even hav only 1 work within 2 months.
anyway, tml i rest, then saturday mayb hav to work 2 side (pizza csc & the pay-on-spot)

how is it possible to work 2 job at one day?
well, pizza csc is limited to work at least 4 hrs per day,
so i can request for 4 hrs, and start working at the earliest time (10.15am)
then left at around 2.15pm, i will go for the other job.
by the way, i haven't mention, that pay-on-spot job doesn't hav any fix work time.
as long as u finish your work, u can go. (cool isn't it)
so after 2.15pm, i can just speed up my work and leave early.

ok, that's all for today. nothing special in csc (except the 3 hrs peak hour).
oh, the peak hour was from around 6pm to 9pm(mayb still many calls right now, idk since i left already).

2nd day in pizza csc

the date was 1st Oct.

alright.... now 9.29pm
i just finish bath. finish my work at 8pm, reach home at around 8.30pm?(around there)
today is less busy than yesterday.
not sure why, but i think it's because of raya and salary r triple of normal rate(normal rate, Rm4 per hour) so there's over 100 staff working today.(usual day has less than 30 people working)
plus, with raya, malays r staying at their hometown, most probably eating traditional food, so the chances malay call for delivery is low, and so has less calls.

i had worked for 7 hrs for today, so Rm12*7=84, Rm84 for today(w00t!)
tml also triple rate, after tml i will hav earn around RM200(weee)
so since i'm only need Rm150 to buy the stuff i know, there's a chance i may 'run away' from the csc after this sunday.
even though there's a RM150 allowance if we work completely 12 days(2 weeks, only 2 days off).

whatever it is, today had nothing much to say,
its not a tough day, but i dont feel its easy anyway.
so, ciaoz. i'm off to hav my dinner .

first day in Pizza CSC

the date was 30th sep.

now is 8.41pm, i just finished my work at 8pm, actually i just reached home(bus slow, waiting, etc)
first, before today, i had been there for 3 times, for training.
oh and, csc means Customer Service Center.
i work as phone operator(pick up calls, and take orders for delivery, also customer's feedback)
now, about the way they work.
first, we must say the same greetings every time pick up a call.
then ask for phone number(as we have a system saving any previous called customer)
then choose pickup or delivery,
then ask for name(if there's no info or it is the cust's first time calling)
ask for address(same as name)
then start to take order(its not easy as u thought, because its 'superb' has more than hundred keys)
and finally finish the order and say "thx for calling... bla bla bla...."

now, i would like all of you who called for delivery,
please forgive us if we take too long.
lets say a newcomer(like me), i will need time to find the key(to press. since each key indicate each different pizza, topping, drinks and etc) for your order
u may thought that we just type in ur orders,
actually no, we have to put ur order using a customized keyboard, which has almost(or more than) 100 keys.
why? like normal keyboard, we hav all the alphabets, symbols, num lock stuffs,
and in additional, we hav keys like "pan", "cc", "sc", "reg", "per", "lar", and so on.
what's that? pan=normal pan pizza, cc=crunchy crust, sc=stuffed crust, reg=regular, per=personal, and lar=large.
there's more, that i won't wanted memorize them all(cuz i dont plan on crushing my brain even after exam), then there's no mouse, so any mistake made hav to use arrow key, or customized key to go back/forward.

today first time pick up calls and take order.
ooomg..... the key was confusing, and easily panic when cust say something like(OI!! U dont take so LONG LA, my phone no credit le(or phone bill expensive).
another thing, the address.
1300-88-2525, is for nationwide, therefore everyone who call, we won't know their address based on number, so we must ask for the full address.
not like straight away type in the address, u hav to separate city, state, bla bla.
i only know where is pahang, selangor, johor, perlis. the rest idk
i even thought ipoh is a state.
so i'm pretty much dead when the cust is the same as me.

my first stargazing experience

it was 17th Oct, 2am+

i woke up, take my 'breakfast', check around the net for guides on stargazing.

after i found http://my.execpc.com/60/B3/culp/astronomy, i start to track down the stars one by one.

it took me around 2 hrs to track down half of the south sky. which stars that i tracked down r just the easier/common seen ones, there're more minor stars around them which i couldn't track them down in time.(more like it's because the sky is a bit hazy so i can't see them well)

in this 2 hrs stargazing, i notice a few shooting star, which at first i doubt is it possible or not cuz i used to think that shooting stars r not that common and shouldn't be able to witness them a few times in 1 night. if what i saw is not imagination, then i did, saw 4-5 shooting stars.

a nice experience, dunno should i be glad that i didn't join my friend's trip or not, cuz if i did i may not able to stargaze and track down few stars which i had nvr been able to.

electricty breakdown in kampar 24th Apr 2010

i had experience a 3 hrs electricity breakdown through out the kampar town.

according to one of my friend and rumors overheard when neighbours were talking, the whole Kampar was affected, though some said 'old town' was fine. then i go update myself in the nearby Tesco, and a staff over there told me it's the whole Perak being affected but few cities/towns were chosen to be cut off from electricity completely in order to let others run. Kampar is one of the town being chose and the reason is because this town is one of the 'green environment friendly' town.

at first the electricity breakdown was told to last for 3-4 hrs, but in the end it was fortunate enough to last at the minimum: 3 hours. from the outer look, everyone is actually enjoying the breakdown because of the rare, but significant scene(i guess). at least me myself think that the moonlight was bright and beautiful, lighten up the whole pitch dark town.

overall, it was kinda shock to see such a serious breakdown, but the pitch dark scene is kinda cool and beautiful. so i won't say its such a bad thing (except my cell phone's battery was dead)

hazue's knowledge bank I

Matagi:
a kind of hunter existed in japan that hunts using traditional method.
"東北地方の山間部に集落をつくり、昔から狩猟を生業としてきた人々のことを“マタギ“と呼んでいる。マタギという言葉は“狩り”そのものを 意味するが、語源には多様な説がある。また、狩猟の民マタギは、樵夫、木地師、山窩たちと同じように古来日本列島の山岳地帯を生活の場としてきた山の民で あるが、その祖先については謎が多い。" (source from http://www.gunzosha.co.jp/")

the above japanese text says that, these people (matagi hunters) have been staying in the north east mountain area since long ago. the clan of 'matagi', like woodworkers(carpenter), woodcutters, and the mountain nomads, had been staying in mountains around japan since the ancient time, but their detailed origin is still a mystery. the word 'matagi', in their clan's language, means 'hunting', though there are sources with different ways of saying how the word derived.
one of the other saying of the word 'matagi' from wiki, is that the word developed from matangi matangitono (マタンギ・マタンギトノ), which means "the man of winter" or hunter in the Ainu Language. though there wasn't anything mention about 'Ainu language' on the above japanese website, i guess when they say 'matagi' means 'hunter', it refers to the language of Ainu.

Ainu language:
can't get much info about this.(aside from eng wiki and jap wiki)
can only say its a super rare language existed in japan. researcher aside, it seems that the people whose mother tongue is Ainu are already extincted, or close to extinct(last investigation was 15 people born with this language in 1991). This language is spoke only in Japan and Russia (source from Jap wiki). Ainu language is called an 'independant language', means its origin has no relation with any other language, or no prove of its origin has relationship with other language.


Kanetsune Seki:
to simply put, a company that forge knives, even Katana with a craftsmanship aged 800 years old. well, they got their own website so just read more from there =) cuz i'm lazy to explain further. http://www.kanetsune.com/index.php?id=221. the reason i came through this company is because coincidentally i found(through internet) a Matagi hunter's knife made by them.

a reminder of how is it feels to miss someone

its bittersweet, after dreaming of her all of the sudden.
bitter, because everything is still the same, i'm far apart from her.
sweet, cause i didn't see her in a long time, even though it's just in the dream.

soon after, it's more sour, as i'm fully awake from dream, and face the reality cruelly.
overall feeling is still hard to put into words, but one thing for sure.
it's not nice at all.
for an instance i thought my worst feeling in the past has come back.
maybe it does, for a very short moment.
if that dark and sad feeling is to come back again,
i may be able to cry after a long time,
the cry with real tears.

this is a note for myself if i ever get emo on these kind of things again.
if she's unreachable.
forget it, and start doing what you must do now (school/work/fun/anime).
if she's reachable,
gather your courage and make sure you won't regret.
it's no longer secondary, my age start with the digit '2' already.
