Well, minus the huang ..

Beautiful Sunset


It was like a blazing fire up in the sky .. it might looks scary but it's actually very beautiful. Another natural phenomena .. thank you God for beautiful day today.

Let the puzzle begins




I bought these two puzzles in Hong Kong last month, haven't got around to do it 'till 2 weekends. I made 3000 pieces one before back in uni, 'cos it was a masterpiece and took forever to do it, I framed it nicely. But by the end of uni year, I couldn't bring it back 'cos it was too big and bulky.

So this time I bought just 300 pieces puzzle box .. little that I realized this Suzy's Zoo design has micro size puzzle which is very very tiny. It was said to be the smallest puzzle size in the world .. OMG!!

This was last week position .. I'll take a photo of my current position tonight .. long way to go.

The weather has been pretty crazy lately, I guess it's all around the world .. one minute it's raining, the next minute (yes, minute) it stops and the sun comes out.

And these two pics below are today's sky ..

this pic was taken at 17:29, bright blue sky, we can even see the mountain

What a scary weather indeed!

Moviegoers


I like watching movies at the cinema, as an ex Media students I might not be so much of moviegoers, 'cos I don't particular watch specific genre, whatever I think it's interested me to watch, I would just go. I like the big screen, the surround sound and definitely like the atmosphere of cinema instead watching movie at home.

In 2009 I watched 31 movies in the cinema, it was 35 movies in 2008, that was like 3 movies per month -- more or less. I have to watch more -- I remember back in uni I could actually go to the movies like 5 days a week.

I have watched movies from the year 1800 when it was still silent movie 'till the most boring movie ever. One of my final assignments, I had to watch 20 Australian movies from the early 1900 'till the recent one and had to write a review for each one. And during the Academy Award Nomination period, I also had to watch those nominations which usually aren't so great to watch, in fact some of them were painful to watch. What made them nominated? I absolutely no idea LOL ^^

Anyway those days have passed. I don't need to hurt myself watching movies anymore .. I get to enjoy them now :D

1. Bride Wars
2. Marley & Me

Fandom

This article was tagged on my Facebook by bloodbubble, written by hesychasm on fandom. It is a well-written article and it's for every fans out there .. highlighted blue are so true and so me .. I've never met some of my new 'sisters' but yet I feel so close 'cos we share the same adoration and only us understand how it feels.

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

Fandom is focus. Fandom is obsession. Fandom is insatiable consumption. Fandom is sitting for hours in front of a TV screen a movie screen a computer screen with a comic book a novel on your lap. Fandom is eyestrain and carpal tunnel syndrome and not enough exercise and staying up way, way past your bedtime.

Fandom is people you don't tell your mother you're meeting. Fandom is people in the closet, people out and proud, people in costumes, people in T-shirts with slogans only fifty others would understand. Fandom is a loud dinner conversation scaring the waiter and every table nearby.

Fandom is you in Germany and me in the US and him in Australia and her in Japan. Fandom is a sofabed in New York, a roadtrip to Oxnard, a friend behind a face in London. Fandom talks past timezones and accents and backgrounds. Fandom is conversation. Communication. Contact.

Fandom is drama. Fandom is melodrama. Fandom is high school. Fandom is Snacky's law and Godwin's law and Murphy's law. Fandom is smarter than you. Fandom is stupider than you. Fandom is five arguments over and over and over again. Fandom is the first time you've ever had them.

Fandom is female. Fandom is male. Fandom lets female play at being male. Fandom bends gender, straight, gay, prude, promiscuous. Fandom is fantasy. Fandom doesn't care about norms or taboos or boundaries. Fandom cares too much about norms and taboos and boundaries. Fandom is not real life. Fandom is closer than real life. Fandom knows what you're really like in the bedroom. Fandom is how you would never, could never be in the bedroom.

Fandom is shipping, never shipping, het, slash, gen, none of the above, more than the above. Fandom is love for characters you didn't create. Fandom is recreating the characters you didn't create. Fandom is appropriation, subversion, dissention. Fandom is adoration, extrapolation, imitation. Fandom is dissection, criticism, interpretation. Fandom is changing, experimenting, attempting.

Fandom is creating. Fandom is drawing, painting, vidding: nine seasons in four minutes of love. Fandom is words, language, authoring. Fandom is essays, stories, betas, parodies, filks, zines, usenet posts, blog posts, message board posts, emails, chats, petitions, wank, concrit, feedback, recs. Fandom is writing for the first time since you were twelve. Fandom is finally calling yourself a writer.

Fandom is signal and response. Fandom is a stranger moving you to tears, anger, laughter. Fandom is you moving a stranger to speak.

Fandom is distraction. Fandom is endangering your job, your grades, your relationships, your bank account. Fandom gets no work done. Fandom is too much work. Fandom was/is just a phase. Fandom could never be just a phase. Fandom is where you found a friend, a sister, a kindred spirit. Fandom is where you found a talent, a love, a reason.

Fandom is where you found yourself.

To all new found 'sisters and brothers' out there .. this goes for you.

18 days of my holiday has ended 4 days ago and I've been slacking with the blog posting .. other that I have to catch up on my works, unpacking and most importantly my sleep debt. I have never felt so sleep deprived like this as I'm not an easy sleeper, I have to adjust with new bed at least 2 nights but in this trip I moved around so much, I didn't enough time to adjust, I have to move.

HK Apartment (4 nights) - Brian's House (2 nights) - Metro Hotel (4 nights) - Four Seasons (1 night) - Crown Plaza (2 nights) - Four Season (1 night) - Happy Valley, HK (2 nights).

I packed and unpacked a lot too in this trip and we bought so much stuffs, we were overweight for all the trips, crazy!

Anyway, I haven't finished unpack .. most of my stuffs I bought are still on the box or luggage. I managed to upload the photos in Facebook today, so please do check them out. As for my journal and blog entry .. be patience, I'll get around with it soon.
For my frequent and silent readers, thank you for all your support in 2009. I'll try to post and share more in 2010. So God helps me LOL.

Happy New Year people! :)
