The Truth about "NiNo"!!

A double update in a night - sort of. Mainly due to the fact that i found out i only posted 4 posts for this month so far, and my friend here... posted 24 posts. how WOW is that??

And not to mention that my mood had gotten waaaaay better after listening to 'If You're Not The One' repeatedly. Yup3. And that i'm bored. Extremely bored. =__=

Hence! I've decided to dedicate this post to reveal the truth behind my nickname; Nino!! (I've promised this since my earlier posts! >__< )

Once upon a time, in the land Tronoh so far away from developed cities of Ipoh, a new batch January 2009 had just entered the one of the most prominent university of engineering in the country. And, as the usual custom by any institutes, every student have a mandatory responsibility of attending the orientation week, which is know as MAS (Malaysian Airlines! - Not! XD) It actually stands for Minggu Aluan Siswa. English translation? Go Google it. Mwahahah.

The activities were quite fun and enjoyable. We were divided into platoons for activities and my platoon was Platoon C, Group C7 (which is, coincidentally, my old dorm number in MRSM. C7, yay! X3) So anyway, as a 'well-rounded' university, the facilitators and staffs of MAS decided to hold an activity that requires utmost teamwork; a 'Talent Night' that comprises of shows (drama, dancing performances, mime, etc...) that will be participated by all platoons. My platoon had draw Pantomime; a drama where the actors/actress does not speak, but someone else from behind the scene would read the lines instead.

And naturally, being someone that loves to act and perform in Theater (I am currently a member of 'famous' Tronoh Theater Shop in UTP (^____^) ) i had volunteered to act, and the only role that I got was a PBSM or a hospital/ambulan staff, in which the only scene that i got was to run in and helped an old injured and sick man. Since it's a pantomime, I have no dialogue at all. Hell, i won't still have a dialogue even if it's not a pantomime. I'm just a PBSM member, what dialogue would i have?

And so! My beloved friends (my coursemates and my roomie =) ) decided that they should give me their 'support', and they started to shout "Ninoninoninoninoninoninonino~~" which is supposed to be the ambulan's siren.

Somehow that name stuck, and i am still known as 'Nino' among my friends today. I guess it's a good thing they decided to shorten it. It could have been worse, maybe "Ninono" or "Ninoni" or just simply "Ninoninoninoninonino"  *shuddering at the thought*

And my nickname is 'Nino' forever and after~~

The End. (>___<)

What did you expect? There's just a simple story behind my nickname, and obviously it doesn't involve things like saving the world or fighting the villains as in movies and animes. Nope. I'm not a superhero and not planning to be one.

And there's no way i'm involved with 'El-Nino'. Nuh-uh. I'm just a normal human being that enjoys simplicity and normality.

P/S: A trivia about 'Nino'. In Spanish it actually means 'Boy'!! Found out when reading 'Bleach' manga. --> WTH!! (O__o)

If You're Not The One

Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One

If you’re not the one, then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one, then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine, then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine, would I have the strength to stand at all?

I’ll never know what the future brings
But I know you’re here with me now
We’ll make it through and I hope 

You are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you, then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you, then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me, then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me, then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through and I hope 

You are the one I share my life with

And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong 

That it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart

And pray for the strength to stand today

‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms?

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoo

This is my favorite song ever since I could remember, and yes, despite being a Japanese addict, this song topped all my other favorite Japanese songs. This song is just special to me that way, though I can't really remember how that came to be. And none of my best friends actually know that I love this song. What can I say? I myself had forgotten about the title and the singer, only remembering bits of the lyrics and music. Now tell me how am I suppose to tell them what my favorite song is?

And don't ask me how I never searched for it in the internet before tonight, 'cause I don't really know the answer to that myself. I just had some inspiration to search for the song tonight, and BAM! I've been listening to this song repeatedly. Ask my roommate if you don't believe me. I had her listened to this song a few times... and it seems that she's enchanted with this song too. I do have high taste after all. *Snickers* Yeah right. High taste... Not. (=___=)

Anyway, I'm making it my mission to make this song my Caller Ringtone and possibly my Ringtone too, or any other devices or programs that could play MP3 for that matter. Mwahahhaha! Now this is what they call enraptured. Ngehehhe.. I've already embed it here in my blog... Now off to another step!

See ya guys~~

Shopping Madness

This saturday morning, i went on a shopping spree with my dear coursemate friends. This shopping "spree" is more accurately labeled as "madness" since... since i spent quite a *cough cough* large amount of money on 'em.

Some may say, "hey, spending a few hundreds isn't such a big deal" but for me it is, 'cause i rarely spent that much in one go (except for that one time back then when i was again, "shopping" with my friends). seriously, this kind of shopping shouldn't be legal! it's draining my money!!


but, what's done is done. i spent 'em and they ain't coming back no more. *waves pitifully at my imaginary money friends* 'goodbye my beloved money'. you want to know how much i spent? fine. it's close to half of 1k. that's actually really really a lot for us university students, and i promised myself that i'm not going out to shop ever again! (for this month at least). there's no way i can survive without new clothes and food. (=__=)

And here's a list of my new favorite items that i declare not regretting buying them cause they're just so damn adorable and i would have regret it  more if i didn't buy them. even if they were sort of expensive. (hey! one can't extinguish the flames of passion -man, how dramatic- and fanaticism -more like obsession to me- for things they love!)

iTeM number 1:

*squeals!* Kyaaa! It's a Kagamine Len (Vocaloid) doll!

Small it may be, but it's quite rare to find 'em in Malaysia! Clueless of what Vocaloid is? I'll tell you about 'em in the next post. =)

iTeM number 2:

This is a Kagamine Rin (Vocaloid) doll, a female twin of Kagamine Len. FYI, Len is a guy, and Rin is a girl. 

iTeM number 3:

A Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid) doll. Sort of a sister figure to the Kagamine Twins. 

iTeM number 4:

 A Sakine Meiko (Vocaloid) keychain. Meiko is the first Vocaloid produced, and this is the younger version of Meiko.

iTeM number 5:

 A Megurine Luka (Vocaloid) keychain. Luka is the third 02 Vocaloid in the series.

Sadly, there is neither doll nor keychain for a few other vocaloids like Kaito and Gakupo. I will try to search for them though! 

iTeM number 6:

It's a necklace with Allen Walker's (D.Gray-Man) cursed left hand as the pendant. This is actually pretty cool. 

And lastly....! Dun Dun Dun!!

iTeM number 7:

 A Lelouch Lamperouge a.k.a. Lelouch vi Brittania a.k.a. Zero (Code Geass) doll!! The ultimate badass genius and master planner behind everything! Love him! *squeals!!* i know i will sleep hugging this doll every night. hehehe....

I know some of you may think something along the line of "Why in the world did she bought them? These things are craps!!" but you know, i love all these things and bought them with my perfectly legal money, so back off. You should never go against someone's interest and passion, and mine just so happens to include Vocaloid and Animes. Get it? Good. And FYI, i did buy some other stuff like a slingbag, a novel, a few pair of shoes/sandals, and few more other stuff. But i figured, these things are pretty common, so why bother taking pictures of them and post them on the blog? You guys are going to see them on Monday anyway. It's better for me to post pictures of my favorite things that won't be brought out of my room. Right? Right. 

And next are several pictures of us 4 before going back to UTP.

Wow. They look so happy, especially with that Auntie Anne's Pretzel. XD

Pipah(left) & Zima(right)

Me holding several shopping bags. It doesn't look much, right? But believe me, i have my way of compressing and pack the things i bought into less number of plastic bags. Cheers for Big Apple. They're lovely. =)

I have no idea what Zima is trying to do. Ask her yourself.

P/S: The bags on the bottom-left are mine actually.

Pipah, Zima, Me, & Fadh.

And that's the end of my Shopping Madness report. The next agenda of my post should include the story behind my nickname Nino or the introduction to Vocaloid, which i'm sure the followers of my blog would need, since i would be mentioning Vocaloid quite often and seriously, it's not a nice feeling having to explain the same thing to several people again and again. (=.=)

That's it for now. See you guys later! =)
