Declaration of Square Enix Tribute Week

I'm hereby to self-declare that 17th-29th Feb 2008 is my Tribute Week to my insanely respected Square Enix!

SALUTE !!!

Square Enix's Forever Inspirations

Just some upcoming games (videos below) that I wanted to share with you guys, although some of you may have seen these earlier.



was the biggest reason I set my aim to come to Japan from the beginning of my journey of switching my IT job into something I love and enjoy most today - CG that is.
And until today, their works are still inspiring me so much! And I still can't shake away the dream being part of the teams which create the coolest games in the whole wide world.
You know what, I still remember I once said to many of my friends that as long as I could be part of the company, I didn't mind being a part time Cleaner or Coffee Maker in the office. muahahaa.... I guess I was really desperate then. haha... XD



Today, though I may not able to join Square, but the influencial name will still always locked in my heart and never be forgotten. I will still be one of the biggest fans of Square and the craziest gamers.

Therefore, PlayStion 3 soon I must buy. Next generation Square Gamer I must become. always I in love! No matter what....

宮崎さんの最新作 Miyazaki's New Movie on the Way!

Miyazaki's work has touched many lives all around the world. His Art, his childhood sense, his fantasies-telling, his creativities, everything! Touches us in so many ways, which sometimes really undescribable. I watched all of his previous works, none of them disappointed me, none of them would never surprise me. Every single of his work is Unique! Incredible! Unpredictable! And most importantly, Morally Intended!

His superb talents really deserve everyone's Respect! Especially me! haha... I could not get enough of watching his work and observing his quality art. I even watched few of his new short films at the Ghibli Museum. And I've been to the Museum more than 3 times now and I never ever get fed up or bored, coz his every brilliant art works worth to be re-watched, again and again. I've watched his previous films so many times and I still feel refreshing from so many different perspectives. And most of his film, make myself feel like a kid again. The feeling is really amazing! (^-^)



And now, his latest work (崖の上のポンヨ/Ponyo on the Cliff) is coming up soon this year Summer in Japan for first screening. (Although this news has already been announced since last year December) I'm so excited and really can't wait, to finally able to watch his full-length movie on the big screen in Japan for the first time. hahhaa...



And I'm sure this will be another big impact and deeply touching into everyone's heart again. Miyazaki san, you have my full TRUST! Miyazaki san never fails to impress everyone of us! そうでしょ！ (^-^) b

Winter Too Cold, Winter Too Much

"Winter Winter Go Away!"



Usually I love Winter. Coz I have been living my past 20 over years in a hot desert with no 4 seasons. I always excited about country with 4-seasons. Especially winter, coz with winter, I will able to experience snow-falling and go Snow-Ski!

However, it has been a long winter here and so much freezing-ly colder than the last one I experienced last year. It snows, it grows, it blows! One thing definite is, it even blows my Electric Bill up to the TOP!

Well, I couldn't help it, it's so freaking cold here, I have to turn on my heater and my electric blanket to keep my human body warm all the time. The figures of the KiloWatt has grown bigger without my notice, even though how hard I tried not to stay home too long.

If stay outside, I suffer from Icy-Fridgy Temperature, if stay home, I suffer from Warmy-Heaty Elec-Bills. Now, what I can do is, hoping the Spring come sooner. If I were the "Technician/Operator" of the Weather, I would re-adjust to following schedule:

Spring - 6 months
Summer - 2 month
Autumn - 2 months
Winter - 2 months

Isn't that perfect for everyone?! hahahaaa.....

Funniest Aladdin Parody

I watched this over and over again, and I still can laugh like a kid..hahahaha....
It's so funny and sound so cute with the new voice dubbing. The lips sync looks so cool and almost match, especially the funny Aladdin. And the way how it ended, is really classic! I just love how creative whoever did this. hahaahaha...

Tokyo Is Snowing !!!

I woke up late this morning. As usual...hahaa.. And I realized it looked incredibly white and bright through my mosaic (unclear) window. I was curious and slide opened it. And WOW! Outside was full of snow!! Actually at the moment as I'm writing this blog now, is still snowing!
I went out my apartment and immediately take some photos with my mobile. My newly bought bicycle was covered by snow too. The corridor & neighbourhood outside my door were also covered with clear white snow with no foot print yet. That means everyone was still at home! Should I go to work today? hahahahaa.... Tell you a secret.. I'm writing this blog now at home, thinking should I or should I not going to work today. hahahaa..... In fact it is snowing heavily now. May be will wait till it stop a bit...haha.... Lazy me... XD

Matsunoyama Onsen Trip (松之山温泉) on 30th Dec 2007

This is Back-Track-Blog, which means this had happened few weeks ago before New Year and a day right after I moved to my new apartment.

I went to this Onsen (HotSpring) with few of my friends. It was located quite a distance from Tokyo. We took a bus tour there. It took about 3 hours to reach, but on the way we stopped by a great restaurant half way on the moutain and had our luxury lunch (first time)..haha...

It was the first time I tried the long legged Crab ever since I came to Japan a year ago. It was SO SO SO DELICIOUS!!! The way of eating was so interesting and I really enjoyed it a lot! haha...

After lunch enjoyment, we carried on the journey to the top of the mountain and look for the Hotspring house. And on the way in the bus, I also took few pictures of the outside environment covered with thick snow. Simply Marvellous!!

We reached the house, and we went in. The hot spring pool was located outdoor and we were able to feel the snow while we were soaking in the super hot water. And yeah, it was snowing that time. It was so relaxing. Great view with all the snow coming down. Too bad I couldn't take pictures during that time. We were all naked in the pool. muahahahaaa.... It was embarassing first time in Hotspring, but that time was the 2nd time. So I kinda used to it now. hahaha... XD

Anyway, I still able to catch some snowy picture after coming out from the onsen house, and ready to head home after 1.5 hours of soaking. It was really a great experience of Hotspring with Snow. Really first time. Nice! hahaaa...

Now, here are some photos of me enjoying the moment... haha...






Taken inside the bus.







After hotspring, I blew my hair with Hair Dryer for almost 15 minutes. Now became more handsome. muahahaa.....
