Christmas Eve ~ Christmas Day

Din have wireless yesterday, they must've shut it off or something. Anyway, I'm posting the happenings of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in this post.

24th Dec
Met up with Tristan in the afternoon at Centre Point. He had lunch with his family and both of us walked around Palm Square for a while. We saw Esther Lo, Lim Chuu Fong and other friends. Tristan's a real magnet o.0
Then we went to meet Sweeney at Wisma Merdeka. Spent some time there, and then we decided to walk back to Warisan Square. Luckily it was windy along the way ~~~ After that, we went to Starbucks for a rest, and chatted before going for McDonald's for dinner.
I left at about 8 something with my family, and had dinner at the apartment. They had pre-ordered German Sausages from Tong Hin and had alrdy taken them at around 7 pm, so they had had some. We finished it off, together with some vegetables, as our Christmas Eve dinner =)






25th Dec
Woke up at 6.30 in the morning to have breakfast with Tristan and his family at a famous beef (Ngiu Cap) place ~ Very delicious. Next, we headed to a pasar next to the unfinished building of Megalong in Penampang. It had some pretty interesting stuff for sale.... Tristan's mother bought quite a lot of stuff, including bundles of white doughnut-like rice things stringed together (For makin tapai).
After that, we went back to their house; saw his cat named.... Mimi or something. Very obedient, just like a well-trained dog. Then we played PS2: Tennis game and Warriors Orochi. I noticed the word "Orochi", and thought of Orochimaru, and when I played the game, Orochi the Serpent King, is similar in many aspects to Orochimaru in Naruto. First, of course, their names. And then their affiliation to snakes, plus both have or are associated with strange markings/tattoos on their bodies. My research on the matter will be posted at the later part of this post.

Sweeney came to the house at around 12.00 p.m, and we went straight to Tristan's uncle's neighbour's house for Christmas lunch. The compound's soooooooooo huge~~~~ and there were so many ppl. They had 2 roast lamb and buffet ~.~ and some games. Very entertaining.
We headed to One Borneo next, and looked around at the clothes shops that they had there. Lastly, we ended our night together at McDonald's.. drinking coke while waiting for transport. I went bac to have roast lamb with my family, and that was how my Christmas Day was spent =D

We won this at the party; guess what were they =.="

***************
So, I did some research, and found out that Yamata no Orochi, or Orochi, translated as the Eight-Forked Serpent in English, is a legendary 8-headed and 8 tailed Japanese dragon that was slain by the Shinto storm-god Susanoo...... Familiar with that name? Well yeah, it's heard in Naruto as well, one of the techniques that Itachi Uchiha used when fighting his brother, Sasuke. In the duel between Sasuke and Itachi, Orochimaru emerged in his signature hydra technique, where 8 snake heads emerged. Itachi's Susanoo managed to defeat it, in accordance to and symbolising the Japanese legend. ^^

Battle of the Puppeteers

My personal favourite, considering the length and numerous skills and techniques shown. It spans over 5 episodes. These are the battle sequences, broken down into 10 parts. The last video shows the death of one of the puppeteers who sacrificed herself.

Akatsuki vs. Organization XIII

Featuring in today's post is 2 cool organizations from 2 different anime/game:
-Akatsuki from Naruto, and Organization XIII from the Kingdom Hearts series-
with each of their members possessing extraordinary skills and techniques. In other words, their powers are symbols or representations of who they are.

Which organization wud u prefer?... that's up to u =)
Let's look at the Akatsuki's members first ^^


Akatsuki is a criminal organization of S-class missing-nin(a ninja who has left his/her village, often because he/she has committed criminal acts) and is the most wanted group in all of shinobi world. Their main goal is to collect all of the tailed beast for their plan of world domination.

Akatsuki at any given time is composed of no more than ten primary members, all of whom were S-Class criminals of their own respective villages.

The following are the members, typical when referring to Akatsuki although some of them are dead or replaced with when following the course of the series. Also stated are some of their special attributes or signature techniques, jutsu.
(From left to right)
1. Pain ~ Rinnegan; Six Paths of Pain
2. Konan ~ Dance of The Shikigami; Origami(paper) manipulation
3. Kakuzu ~ Five hearts w/ Five elemental affinities; 'Earth Grudge Fear'
4. Hidan ~ Immortality; Jashin Ritual & Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood
5. Zetsu ~ Mayfly; Body Splitting Technique; Spore Technique
6. Sasori ~ Human Puppets; Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets
7. Deidara ~ Clay Manipulation(Bombs/Mines): C0,C1,C2,C3,C4
8. Kisame ~ Samehada(signature weapon); Water Prison Shark Dance Technique
9. Itachi Uchiha ~ Mangekyō Sharingan; Ephemeral; Amaterasu; Susanoo; Tsukuyomi
10. Madara Uchiha ~ "Eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan; Teleportation

Organization xiii, today's 2nd and last assemblage, "rival to the Akatsuki in this post", is a group of 13 powerful Nobodies who seek to reclaim their hearts and become whole again. They are the antagonists of Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. They have rankings, with Xemnas as the highest and the leader.

Because (almost) all the members are Nobodies, they lack hearts, meaning they also have no emotions. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and fill the empty void inside themselves by gathering hearts to form Kingdom Hearts so they can become full beings again.

The following are the names together with their infamous titles and elemental attributes.
(From left to right)
1. Vexen, The Chilly Academic ~ Ice and a shield
2. Xigbar, The Whirlwind Lancer ~ Wind and six lances
3. Marluxia, The Graceful Assassin ~ Flower and a scythe
4. Luxord, The Gambler of Fate ~ Time and cards
5. Larxene, The Savage Nymph ~ Lightning and eight knives
6. Saïx, The Luna Diviner ~ Moon and a claymore
7. Xemnas, The Superior of The In-Between ~ Nothingness and Ethereal Blades
8. Zexion, The Cloaked Schemer ~ Illusions and a lexicon
9. Demyx, The Melodious Nocturne ~ Water and a sitar
10. Lexaeus, The Silent Hero ~ Earth and an axe sword
11. Xigbar, The Freeshooter ~ Space and arrow guns
12. Axel, The Flurry of Dancing Flames ~ Fire and twin chakram
* The 13th and new 14th member being Roxas and Xion(Upper mid section of the picture)


These are some pictures on the artwork of their unique weapons by Tetsuya Nomura:

Look! To the SKies!

Found these 2 guys parachuting near my house when i came home from my father's shop. Yeah~ so bored till these 2 ppl floating in the air got me excited =.="
The holidays are still quite... boring. Alrdy caught up with Naruto to the latest episode... Now have to w8 for the new ones to come out. The only anime tht my bro has tht i haven watched is Bleach, i guess i shud start and chase it. otherwise i thot of lying down on the balcony staring up at the clouds in the sky *yawnz*.... ...

@Nawooto@

Starting Naruto from the beginning, quite funny. My bro asked me not to start Shippuden first, just when i watched the first few episodes -.-" Good thing too, the beginning is pretty good.

No plans for today, only special thing was learning how to drill holes into the lens for rimless frame. Finally met someone i knew in town.. First was Nina, Asrohain & their friends yesterday. They asked wat I was doing alone in town, + where is Junan. I told them he was in KL, n he brought along books to study. *praise his study spirit*.. Today bumped into Chung Voon Sen, said he was goin to the bank o.0
Din get to talk much since my mum was waiting for me in the car.

Those were probably the highlights of the past few days while i was downtown. Well, tomorrow night will be the g@m|3li^g night, 9 ppl confirmed coming.

Just hope it doesn't rain..

New Moon

Same routine. Went to the shop, and came back in the afternoon. Continued the dispensing lens lesson for rimless frame.

At night, Lipz, Drey, her cousin Laura, Leng and me went to watch New Moon. It was ok... for me it was better than the first movie. I prefer reading the novels. The movie finished at bout 9, exactly 2 hours. After that, went straight back home since there was nowhere to go, & there were quite few of us.

Tomorrow night having Peking Duck at Sabah Hotel with family. Tht shud be the only other outing plan for the day, except for the usual going to the shop. Still have a lot to learn..... according to father. Might as well learn more stuff since there's nth else to do.

Oh, & i decided to watch Naruto, Arjunan. Quite ok~ Not obssessed =.="
Just watch for passing the time. Anyway, that's all for today =)

~Allelujah~

*Completed Gundam Final Season 2 ^^.
Praise the Gundam Meisters, Setsuna F. Seiei, Lockon Stratos, Allelujah Haptism & Tieria Erde =)

Finally got back streamyx line, but im still using the wireless since its more convenient, n i can online in my room. Have some plans with friends for this week...... gonna watch movie tmrow night at the cinema &.... g@m[2ling.

Have to wake up early to go to father's shop again... Gonna start watching either Naruto or Bleach tmrow. Which one's better? o.0

~Finished~

Finished Gundam Season 1.
Finished Drey's Twilight: Eclipse.
Eclipse's better than New Moon & Twilight. Has more action in the story ^^.

Nth much today.... there wasnt electricity here in the afternoon, so i decided to go to my father's shop. N i'm still able to use my neighbour's wireless =) maybe theres no nid for the streamyx alrdy. But the officer called up n told us they're still 'following up' on the problem. oh well, its better using the wireless since there's less stuff around: no modem and less wires. That's bout it for today, hope tmrow or the next will have more interesting things to post bout.
