Once upon a time, a 50cm x 20cm bubble wrap was lying on my table. It just happened that i wasnt in a good mood that day. That day's exams was ridiculously tough and i think i screwed it up. So i picked up that small piece of wrap and went 'pop'. ahh..much better, exams? what exams? i'm sure he must have felt pain but who am i to care? after all, what can beat the sensation of your fingers on a squishy thing and goes 'pop' when a little pressure is applied on it? soon , i was popping it here and there and poor him must have lost more than the iraqis. i'm venting my anger on him even though i know it's not his fault just as bush attacked iraq knowing there's no wmd's there. i guess i should send him some bubble wrap too. i'm sure he needs it more than i do. however, i shall not part with him! he's mine! he and i shall live happily ever after!at least until he goes popless and becomes a bubbleless wrap.i'll be happy,he'll be dead. life's unfair huh?
p.s:someone requested me to write this, u know who you are and i'm sorry if i just wasted 5 mins of your life.
if u're angry at me for wasting your precious time, u know what to do. buy bubble wraps!
while everybody is busy collecting ang pows, eating this and that, sucking money from other ppl/losing money to other people and while i SHOULD be studying, i was at tanigumi to witness a 800yr old dance. tanigumi is about a few stops from my area and i should have noticed that the crowd was going to be big when i stepped on the train and saw a few photographers. when i reached there, i think there was at least a 100 people like me.. age aside.all of them are old men or old women, where are the youngsters?! don't tell me they're busy with their psps and ps3 and wii and what nots! hmph! anyways the dance is short, about 10 mins or so but they did do it 3 times and it was really cool. ok , less talk, more pics!

Found an interesting article/blog post. have a look

not much opinions to give, everything is well argumented. maybe except corporal punishment
just when i thought it was spring, the rain was white in color today, i.e snow! but it all melted once it reached d ground :( so i guess i cant start selling this as postcards :P 
exams start tom!
spring in japan is signalled by the plum blossoms. when it starts blossoming,means the weather is getting warmer. so i guess winter is finally over huh. not enough snow! of course, i don't want to suffer like the americans now with record snow everywhere (but then again , think of photographic opportunities! ) i guess whatever comes , i just hafta accept it. since its getting warmer faster this year, the sakura/cherry blossoms might just blossom earlier and i might be able to catch it before i go back :) maybe kyoto would be a nice place or nara!
anyways, some pics of the plum blossoms. enjoyy!
i was fine until last fri when suddenly my head felt heavy and everything going around me seemed so ...slow.come saturday, i realised it was a fever, could be influenza(not bird flu) but i slept d whole day(literally), forced some panadols down and somehow it was alright. but that did not stop my coughing and my unlimited source of phlegm(comes in various colors too, white,green,brown and a mixture of green n brown..which makes it orange? red too.. a lil blood i guess) so i started on antibiotics..not a big fan of it but somewhat with no other choice and with my exam coming soon, i needa be in good shape. today my throat felt much better and i spiited out less phlegm.however, my nose started to run! a running nose would be an understatement actually, more like a sprinting nose! i better not get into details for this. my head is also abit heavy and i couldnt think or do much in class..half my class is sick as well. some with the influenza, some with flu, while some are just 'sick' i think :P
so i came up with 3 reasons why i'm sick.
1. setsubun.. which is on 3rd feb(sat) is the day where the season changes i think and japanese believe by eating penuts o sth like tht will banish demons(oni).. for me i'm letting all the bad stuff from my body out.. cleansing.. thats what being sick is all about aint it?
2. according to the iran girl,shilin.. if u get praised too much, it'll affect your health.(some iranian belief) seeing as i have been the topic of discussion in school lately, she does make a valid point.
3.probably the most logical of all.. a virus
ok ok,enough with the sick n depressing part, next up will be even more depressing!i always knew malaysian mass media to be pro-gov or censored heavily by them or controlled through shares or power but up to now, i've never seen a case of news being censored.. expecially local ones.
now take a look at these sites

i would think that this would be big enough to make the headlines of any paper but none!(maybe chinese papers?) ..on the other hand, i'm only refering to star online and nst online. it's big news but sigh..not a single word from the major mass media. why do u think blogs are important?i'm not gonna debate on the issue in the 2 links but is there really no transparency in our mass media? abdullah, i'm disappointed, for all u say about anti-graft and better transparency, i only see it getting worse. it might not be your fault but it's still your government. to be fair, the opposition is just as weak,thus the rakyat suffers. :( malaysia boleh man..
hehe, bored .. some pics i took around my area. been lazy to study lately though my exams are 2 weeks away! ehehe.. i'll manage and hopefully i wont flunk any subject :P
1.sunset .. i do hate wires, why cant they do the wiring underground? my are has a nice scenery but the wires just spoil everything :(
2.the moon
3.the leaves..really nothing better to do..
hopefully it's gonna snow this weekend! means more pics for me, yay!
