When Good Enough, Isn’t Enough

When I was in form 5, my class had numerous really good students, whose kiasu smart personalities make them the top of the “world”. No matter what they do, even if they never give in their best, even if it is mere luck that they manage solve these or those, people always give the best comments to them, something more manglish like “You’re damn geng!” “Damn smart lah!” or more formal comments like “you’re so brilliant” “You’re so smart” “You have indeed proven your intelligence” or………………………whatever!
Being someone who only flips through the books,(and I repeat-ONLY FLIP!) and only tries to understand the hundred equations in the text books at the very last minute, I didn’t score as high as them, and still don’t now, I think. So I am considered a super duper lousy but still manageable; somewhere between smart and stupid but more incline to the not-so-good student. HO HO…

Walk Of Secrets

Who doesn’t know about Post Secret? A community where people send in their deepest… Okay, maybe just one of their deepest secrets anonymously. I am considerably a loyal reader of that blog, reading thousands of someone else secrets.
Seeing all those secrets, I can’t help to think that everyone of us is very mysterious, even your own parents, your closest siblings, your dearest friends. One can never understand another, whether the two of you are tied together with love, friendship, kinship or whatsoever.

It’s like having a friend whom you thought were gentle and nice, the one whom you could never imagine him doing naughty things even just flirting with another girl. But you would never know, you would never know how many times he had slept with other women, or maybe even pointed a gun at someone else. You would never know.

Being a restless person, I have never thought I would fall in love with this anime.

ARIA-The Animation
This anime doesn’t have a specific storyline. Each chapter is a whole new story. This anime is non violent, and has a very slow storyline compared with a lot of other shounen animes(duh). To some people who are used to watching and reading shounen mangas or animes, they might not be used to Aria, or even hate it.
As a shounen manga lover, I am actually quite shocked to find myself falling in love with this anime. I would really really really say that this is the best shoujo anime ever created. This is an outstanding series of gorgeous illustration and superb calming stories. Each episodes never fails to make my heart feels warmer. And each story never fails to make me laugh and smile or be inspired in the end.

A Forever Dream

To those people who have known me long enough or even well enough if they presume, they would think I am a girl who doesn’t have an objective, a girl who is dilly dallying around. A girl whose dream keeps on changing until my friends never really understand what I really want anymore.
True. I don’t deny. I have many dreams. But no matter how well-dreamt my futures are, they will never beat the very dream that I have kept secret in me since 7 years ago.
When I first touched final fantasy VIII (my first final fantasy series), I was really awed. The graphic was so close to reality that I kept questioning whether it was real or not, whether it was really a game. I was really captivated by it. The environments, the characters, the monsters, each tiny details were being well-taken care of.

I was really shocked then. In the older times, people could only describe fantasies and dreams and imaginations with words. But Square Enix (the producer of Final Fantasy Series) has practically crafted out the entire fantasy. It is building worlds and people that never exist in the reality. They are making these imaginations come true. They have created them so realistically, creating confusion between vision and realism.
