Hobbies..? Well i'm getting bored bored bored!

Hey again. I'm not really in the mood to type a new post, nor do I have any interesting story to tell, but wth. my hands are aching to type something. So here goes a short post.

These days I got bored pretty damn fast. Usually i have this hobby timing i would like to call; "Phases". very unimaginative i know. Anyway, these "Phases" usually include (not arranged orderly):

1. Watch Anime
2. Watch J//K/English drama
3. Watch movies
4. Read Novels
5. Read fanfictions
6. Write fanfictions
7. Play Games
8. Draw

so usually when i got bored of doing one thing, I would replace it with another hobby according to the mood. I'm almost always could be seen carrying out this activities when I'm alone. Time with friends doesn't count. But nowadays...

watch anime? pass.
dramas? pass.
movies? nah.
novels? ....nah.
fanfictions? getting bored... really fast.
writing? been getting writer's block more frequently.
games? no game to play here.
draw? maybe... but too lazy to do it.

so with that i'm left with... nothing to do. =.=

suggest something for me to do please. this is only a weekend - 2 day hols. i can barely imagine how i'm gonna fare at home with a month of holidays with nothing to do, or even worse, the 4 months holiday next year.

save me from boredom please. it's slowly killing me.

It's been quite awhile you alls~~

As the title above clearly stated... it's been quite a long while since i last updated this blog. reasons? only one. mainly... "Laziness". Wait. I should bold that. "LAZINESS" there you go, with capital letters to the touch.

Okay okay. No bashing please. These past few weeks (or months to be accurate, since it's almost November now) had been quite... hectic.

Okay i'm lying. It's not as hectic as in (i don't even have half an hour to write up a quick post!) kind of busy. heck, my roommie had updated more than 10 posts since i've been idle. Ehh.. what the hell. It's up to me when or when to update this bloggy thingy. Why do i have to apologize to you guys??

It has been brought to my attention that some of the readers have... difficulty.. in reading my posts since i wrote in paragraphs most of the time. scratch that. i'm writing in paragraphs even now. but meh.. i like to write in paragraphs better. and yes, my posts are usually long since i prefer 'quality over quantity'. meaning longs posts with long intervals of time instead of short posts and short intervals. each to their own preference i guess. but this is mostly due to how i write my stories.

yup. you read that right. I do write stories in my free time (another reason for not updating the blog! i kind of used all of my enthusiasm for writing and typing on the computer for my stories instead of blogs. mwahhahaa).

it's not really stories actually, more like fanfictions to be precise.. what!? you guys don't know what fanfiction is!??!?

Fanfiction - stories that are made up by the fans, based on the original characters of the show/book/anime with different plotlines and timeline, mostly fueled by their very own creativity. Go to www.fanfiction.net for more info. Lol.

that was from my personal 'Nino Dictionary'.

Yes, I'm blabbing. Love it or love it.

So anyway, I've been spending my time writing my own fanfictions of -Dun Dun Dun Dun!!!- Naruto!!! I demand for claps and applauses! -clap clap clap- thank you kind sir. So yeah. Naruto. Been writing stories for this anime since... 2005? though i'm actually a bad author 'cause i don't really update that much. i kind of left my stories -abandoned more like it- for AT LEAST a year. each story. Yup. Bad bad authoress I am. Mwahhahaa.

So now I kind of recovered my LOVE for fanfics and continued writing them. Though i always got this freaking annoying and deadly writer's block. It's a term for the doomnation of authors/authoress. seriously. the world would be happier without it.

Okay. Fanfic subtopic has ended. Will be studied further in more details in later posts.

Next.

Tests.

Ow, the freaking headache came with just a thought of that word! These past few weeks was a storm for students! Tests + Fever storm! Yeah, i caught a fever two nights ago, and joy oh joy 'cause i sat for tests -two of them. not one. TWO!!- with headache and the most annoying running nose ever. Used up a whole packet and a half of tissues during the test yesterday. You can only imagine how uncomfortable that was! Wiping off your nose again and again, barely concentrating on your tests. Though that could hardly be an excuse if i flunk these tests.

I remembered writing this memo in tiny writing at the back of my answer scripts.

"Have some mercy. Musim demam nih... (TT^TT)"

which literally translates:  "Have some mercy. It's fever season now (TT^TT)"

yes, complete with my (TT^TT) little drawing that stands for crying!! Sob3x!!

Moving on.

I don't care how long this post is. You're reading it if i want you to! No matter what!! -evil Nino has resurface- "Prepare for doom! Bow down maggots! Mwhahahaha"

Wow. I've always wanted to write that. Yeah. Write that. I'm not that evil to actually say that out loud to an innocent bystander out of the blue. That's just... cruel. Hoh. I guess I do have some goodness in me after all. :p

......... My room is a mess!!
I really really really really really really really really really really really really have to get to cleaning it soon! and by that i mean NOW!

So I guess I'll see you guys around. Somewhen... Sowewhere... Our fate and destiny shall cross paths again.

Over and out. For now. Pray that I shall write soon. (^___^)

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. 

Pipah(left) & Zima(middle) & Me(right)

The smiling trio. Pipah(left) & Zima(middle) & Fadh(right)

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! =)

New blog, new post

Okay, so not many of you know that i used to own a blog before this, and really, it's not like i actually spread out the news of existence of my previous. i couldn't care less. =__= it's not like i updated the blog either. i last updated it like... more than a year ago? yup. i'm not much of an updater... but i hope that wouldn't be the case for this new one here.

and before any of you commented me on writing in english instead of malay, well, suck it. i write better in english than i do in malay, and i kind of express better in english though it's most of the time written in a say-formal- writing style. aa... i just hate being typo. i prefer writing correctly and as nerd as that make me sound, i am definitely not a geek. else i would have scored much higher and earn myself the honor of being dean's list. as it turned out, i didn't. get the honor of being one, i mean.

anddd.... as you can see, i pretty much mumble and rant a lot when i'm writing. and i haven't even introduce myself yet or tell any specific details on who i am. so here goes.

i'm a utp student and currently am studying in civil engineering course, in 1st year and 2nd semester. Name? most of you know that already. but those of you who don't, refer to me as Nino.

how'd i get that nickname? well that's a story for another time. too long to be told in this first introductory post. and so i will resume on introducing myself.

i am a japan-loving person though i am most definitely not one in body and blood. oh don't get me wrong, i am a patriot for my country -as patriotic as a university student that loves and adores other countries' culture and entertainment like japan and korea can be- but there's no law against adoring many things from other countries. hell, most of the people that i knew does that, so there's no criticizing  or singling me out alone.

i uh.. love animes and jdramas and jrpg. that's right. i'm sort of what japanese would call "an otaku" -some sort of crazy fan that's obsessed with animes and stuff- with the exception that i am most definitely not crazy and the fact that watching and loving animes are actually pretty usual around guys my age here. let me underline that. GUYS around my age. so yeah, seeing a girl that's interested and love animes are pretty weird to some, but it's not rare. of course, most girls prefer watching jdramas instead -for those of you who don't know what jdrama is, you seriously need to get on with the latest drama trend. it's a short of japanese drama- and kdramas -same thing, only korean- but i love both of them, animes and j/k-dramas alike. they're fun and much more nicer than -cough cough- malay dramas, which i think are most of the time pretty lame. but maybe some of you like malay dramas better. -shrug- well each to their opinions i guess.

and yes, i do play games. jrpg games to be exact -japanese role-playing game- like final fantasy series, suikoden, tales of series, and persona series. contrary to what most people believe, there are tonnes of girls playing games on playstations and computers all over the world. and yes, we do enjoy them and hate to be singled out as weird. hey, there ARE guys who loves to wear women's clothes and play makeup and all, but we all need to respect them regardless of how wrong it was. as i said, each to their opinions. they enjoy it, so just leave the hell of ém alone. games are fun and it's one of good past time aside from reading novels, so yeah i love them. got any problem with that?

i love to read as well, and most of the stuff i read are english, thus my visible interest in english more than in malay. i do however, speak mostly in malay. face it, writing skills and oral skills are two different, separate things. while i can write well in english, i sucks most of the time when speaking in english. i stutter and gagged and say stupid, inappropriate and most definitely wrong word sometimes-thanks goodness it's not ALL the time- so i prefer speaking in malay. yep. woe is me.

i listen to japanese songs most of the time, and i have around 2400 songs in my iTunes all of 'em japanese and some game or anime or drama soundtracks. so yeah i don't usually listen to english songs, but it's not like they're bad or something. they're nice and all, but i just opt for japanese all the time. ^___^ korean songs are quite nice too, but i don't have any of korean songs in my itunes.

i don't have any specific genre of songs that i love, but i prefer them depending on my mood. sometimes i'm up to upbeat and fast songs, sometimes it's just nice to listen to slow and pretty and melodious songs especially when it's raining and it's all dark out. i'm not an emo, but you have to admit it's pretty relaxing and calming when all you're doing is lying on the bed and listen to slow songs while it's raining harmoniously outside. you have got to try that if you haven't already. and switch off the lights while you're at it, it boosts the mood tremendously.

there are plenty more stuff that i can write here in this post about me and my interests, but i think i should stop now. it's pretty lengthy for the first post anyway. i shall continue some other time, and believe me when i say i'll try. to write. and post. soon. =.= see ya.
