   I managed to download bitComet
I tried Bitcomet for the first time, and it wasn't as bad as it seems when I first used torrent to download Maplestory manual patch (at that time, when I downloaded that patch, my laptop ended up getting Trojans when the downloading is in progress)

I just tried BitComet to download Episode 101 of Naruto (Of all Naruto episodes, I liked that episode the most. Kakashi really had another mask beneath his mask, and the 3 scenes where Naruto showed his cheeky face at Sakura is really funny). Or rather, I can get Kaleido Star Episodes now.

   My interest for new anime
A sailor moon fan for more than 10 years. Now I have developed a liking for Naruto, Bleach and even Kaleido Star. However, I was not sure where to get Kaleido star episodes or pictures...hmm...anyone can tell me where to get those? Coz I intend to create a Kaleido Star wallpaper sometime, and I also want to see how nice Kaleido star is.

   Everything's back to normal
I managed to get my site back up. I also have a new layout on my site. Nice?

Starting from now, I must start saving and earning for a trip to Japan in the future. Working back at Bizlink centre is one way, which I had planned to do so during the school holidays. Saving from my allowance is another.

Really dying for that dream trip to Japan. I plan to go there to shop for Sailor Moon merchandise. As a veteran fan of Sailor Moon, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity. The only thing is, there is a 75% probability that I will travel alone there. Travelling alone is better than travelling with a tour group because during my trip in china, I travelled with a tour group and they are mostly ojisan and obasan. I had a hard time keeping to the fixed routine. Furthermore, if I travel alone, I have more freedom to explore and shop around. The place in Japan that I plan to go is Tokyo.

And one more thing. The next time I travel, I will never, EVER take Garuda Indonesia again (I was nearly unable to come back on the 7th Sept due to the flight being cancelled). I will choose other airlines instead.

   I am back home...
Konnichiwa minnasan. Tadaima. I came back frm china today, and I had quite a smooth-flowing trip there, except during the returning journey.

30th August - I went to create my sailormoon wallpaper for submission before I leave for China (that wallpaper consist all 5 inner senshi with chinese characters written on them). It got accepted by otaku initially, but it was gone when I returned today. Not sure why. Anyway, went to check in at the airport before departure. I took Garuda Indonesia to Shanghai. I thought initially that Garuda was reasonably ok, but I was wrong (that was during the return journey).

31st Aug - 6th Sept.
To keep a long story short, I toured all over China with my tour group, from Suzhou to Hangzhou to Nanjing to Wuxi and finally to Shanghai. I was very unlucky though; my tour group (consisting of 32 people, inclusive of myself) is all a whole lot of ojisan and obasan. I get along fairly well wif them though...hehe. China has a lot of cheap stuff. a lot of cheap stuff. For example, a Jay Chou music CD for 10 RMB (S$2), a Crayon Shinchan DVD and Anime Sailormoon DVD for 25 RMB each (S$5). I bought them all at the shops at Nanjing. The hotels are reasonably OK as well, except that they lack toilet rolls.

2 days ago, I got the shocking news that the flight for Garuda (from shanghai back to singapore) was cancelled. For Garuda to fly back to singapore, it must arrive from singapore to shanghai first, and it so happened that it did not. The tour guide was kind enough to arrange another flight for those taking Garuda initially.

7th sept (today) - Finally, I managed to return today, this time by China Eastern Airlines. I miss my home, and my friends and relatives here, and most importantly, my laptop. I was glad that I can see them again.

   Finally, a moment of peace for me
It has been 14 weeks in school, and I have never skipped a single lesson. Now that all 14 grades for all of my four modules have been fulfilled, and my UTs have been deemed as passed, I have no worries in pon-tening (a Singaporean slang for skipping lessons) for the next 2 weeks. I can stay at home and concentrate on my PP, and to level up my Maplestory character so that I can go for my 3rd job advancement.

Today, as usual, I meet Wesley at the berth near Bus 168 to go home with him together (which we usually do every Friday). His SIP (Student Internship Programme for TP) supervisor requires him to stay for another 2 more weeks. Haiz. I really feel sad for him.

The day goes near for me, as I would be overseas to China with my parents and relatives on the first week of September. I never liked the feeling of being on an aeroplane. I remembered that I vomitted inside the plane (when it is in mid-air) when it is returning from Phuket to Singapore (that happened when I was 9 years old). I felt nauseous that time. Furthermore, the 2 plane crashes that happened (MI185 and SQ006, in which these 2 planes are from Silkair and Singapore Airlines respectively) added to my fear of taking plane flights. I hope that my family, my relatives and I would not be the next victims...leave it to Heaven to decide my fate.

That's all for now.

My first video


This is the first video that I have made. The video is about my maplestory character. Take a look and feel free to give comments and ratings on my video. I know this is the first time I am making a video, so do leave any comments so that I can improve on my next one.

The background song is sung by my favourite singer, Jay Chou.

   Which is better?
I just started watching the 1st episode of PGSM, and after I looked at it, I feel that the anime storyline of Sailormoon is much better than this. Firstly, by looking at the Japanese seiyuus' profiles, even though they are all in their 30s or 20s when they voiced the sailor senshi and villians (starting from 1992), they can express each character's behaviours and feelings better through their voices. Just take Mitsuishi Kotono as an example. Through her voice, she can express Usagi's crybaby and klutzy characteristic better in the anime than Sawai Miyu-san in the PGSM. Furthermore, the anime version (Jap with Eng Subs) of SM portrays more humour than the PGSM, even though the body movements of the anime characters are exaggerative. (For the anime, I will give a rating of 9.8 out of 10)

I am not saying that the PGSM storyline is screwed up or anything. I can say that as a whole, PGSM is OK (I give it a rating of 7.5 out of 10). It is, in a way, better than the anime because they made use of real-life Japan to produce this. Furthermore, Keiko Han still voices as Luna both in the anime and PGSM.

To those moonies out there, which do you think is better? I give you 3 choices - the anime version of Sailor moon (Jap with English Subs), the Manga version or the PGSM. You can choose any one, or more than 1. It's up to you.

   ......
I have seriously been over-stressing myself recently. All that my mind is able to think of are studies, UTs (Understanding Tests) and PP (professional profiling). It looks like my mind is going to break down anytime.

I finally realized that I seriously need give my mind a break (not just by watching Sailormoon episodes and movies or creating Sailormoon wallpapers and e-cards). But I just do not know where to start with. Someone please just give me some advices...onegai (please).
