It’s that time of the year again 😊 - reaching the magic number 25 (a quarter of a century) :p.

Anyway, no plans for today, so it’d be either very surprising (depends on what kind of plans that I or other people had in store) or very laid back (i.e. nothing happened). Anyway, I had already bought my own birthday present with an addition of a very unexpected splurge, but I personally don’t mind pampering myself today within my own means :).

My birthday wish? Well, I had already made up my mind on that one (and not telling :p). But overall I am continuing to look forward with the wonderful journeys that life will be offering in times to come: cherishing every single up and down that continues to mold myself as who …

Would anyone be interested to get a copy of Super Best Trance x Ultra-Z Trance? I accidentally double-dipped it in eBay :(.

Basically everything is in mint condition (no scratches with obi) and you can check the tracklist here (which is a non-stop mix album by DJ Kaya). It’s a promotional sample disc, though, if it’s of any concern to you.

I’m willing to sell it for US$5 and shipping cost will be US$7 to the US (registered airmail)… and probably less if you happen to live elsewhere :).

Let me know if anyone’s interested.

… Or perhaps letting me know where would be a good place to sell this would be of great help ^_^.

On the personal side of things:

Just received my shipment of CDs again: this time to …

Things are only as complicated as they were made out to be.

- The thing about perception again -

Watched Stardust yesterday and was enjoyed it a lot! 😄

What I really liked about the movie is not only the lush graphical effects, which I believe is almost a must for fantasy movies, but how a very basic fairytale like storyline were being seamlessly weaved with small plot twists and details. To be honest the first 20 minutes which outlays the introduction of characters was a bit dull, but once Tristan starts to set out on his journey to the other side of the Wall, that where the movies starts to shine.

From there on, the storyline doesn’t make Tristan and Yvaine (the two protagonists) dominating the movie, but was shared among all villains (with separate motives) and supporting characters. One thing that makes it really stand out is the attention to detail to …

虽然好多时候忘记了，偶尔悠然想起那熟悉的笑颜的时候，看到一直以来都得到的，那隐约的幸福。

会心一笑，默默地对你们说“谢谢你，我确实收到你们给我的幸福了”。

生活继续地延续着，提醒着自己抬起头，往前看，继续踏上自己的旅途。

“大丈夫だよ…”

Although many times I have forgotten, sometimes I remembered that smile on your face, and able to see the happiness that I had received unknowingly.

Smiling from the heart, I said to you softly “Thank you for all the love and happiness you have brought to me”.

Life continues to move on, reminding me to raise my head, look forward and continue to set on my journey.

“Everything’s going to be OK…”

These days I found myself quite attached to Utada Hikaru’s Flavor of Life -Ballad Version-. Still remembered clearly that by chance I watched Music Station on Animax and she enchanted audience with powerful vocals and emotions with this very song.

Personally this is one of the songs that resonates my current feelings at the moment. It kept on reminding me the painful lessons that when I don’t continuously try to reach out for that person, don’t continuously seeking a way to express whatever’s in my mind, I may never be understood at all and things may not have the chance to change. All the times I never get to say a proper “goodbye” and the feelings faded away slowly into my memories.

“… Am I ready for another new beginning…?”

每当怀疑的当时，怀疑的到底是未来的机率还是自己？

或许被惊扰的心湖虽然映出混杂的画面，还是能够反映出“自己”吧。

Every time in doubt, am I doubting the probabilities of the future or myself?

Although the stirred seas of the heart is only capable to reflect a distorted image, but it’s still capable to reflect one’s true “self”.

“Deserted behind, left with a shell without any juices within.”

Finally! I got a camera phone - the LG KU250! That with 3G to boot 😊 (read: I can now access fast Internet from my mobile now :D). So imagine that I’m going all shutter happy for the next few days (or even months?!). So yesterday I spent quite a lot of time with my phone, but most of the time actually drained as I find myself transferring all my contacts over from my old phone to the new one… by hand!!! It’s tedious, but I manage to get everything on the phone so I’m happy :D.

Anyway, to all muslims, happy Eid! 😊 And that also means it’s actually a public holiday over here. Went to karaoke with Jacob, Theen Gee and Ker …

Bloody tempted with the LG KU250 at the moment, what started as a <RM500 hunt ended up me finding out about this, which is one the cheapest 3G phone that can be found in Malaysia with an impressive feature set that I wanted (memory card expansion, Bluetooth, 1.3MP camera… too bad it doesn’t have FM radio but I can live with that). It is RM150 more expensive than my budget but i might well think of as “future-proof” tax hold on to it for another 3 years :).

Originally planned to get it in November as my birthday present, might as well as get it soon to get my shopping list shorter :).

In other news, was currently back into reading self-help books. Can say that I needed the slight push at the back at …

At first when it started, it simply was “To hell with all the shit around”.

Then it was “If there’s a will, there’s a way”.

Now it is “I will work it out somehow”.
