Saito Yasuo becomes Sakurazuka Yakkun?!

The sassy lady above is none other than the seiyuu of Takuto from Full Moon wo Sagashite!

…

Give yourself a cookie if you’re able to guess what I’m thinking right now – before I mention the word ‘him’. Yes, he’s cross dressing, something I’ve been wanting to do in MapleStory.
Wikipedia states that he debuted his singing in 2006, but I’m sure that he had sung Eternal Snow much earlier. It’s a pity that he never released a version of Myself.

Mitsuki’s Grandmother, LOL

Let me do a simple introduction of what I’m about to say next. Quite complicated but if you’re cool, you’re understand the whole story as I elaborate. It is about Mitsuki who wants to be a singer before she dies of her throat cancer – she could survive by undergoing an operation but lose her voice in exchange, which she would rather not. Luckily there’s this pair of shinigamis, Takuto and Meroko, who appeared out of no where to help her with her dream by turning 12-year-old Mitsuki into 16-year-old (ylwong: hey, I just realised how old I am already!)  Full Moon. Shinigami translates into ‘death god’ in Japanese, and they’re supposed to collect the souls of those who are about to die soon – in other words, Mitsuki’s about to die soon. What I’m quoting below are exerpts I copied from Wikipedia about Mitsuki’s maternal grandmother, Fuzuki, and how coincidence happen so easily and conveniently.

Let us say ‘WTF’ out loud together with me after you’ve finished reading these words:

From Fuzuki, Mitsuki’s Grandmother’s bio:

In the manga, Fuzuki was friends with Meroko (when she was a human) and they both fell in love with a violinist, Seijyuro Koga. The man chose Fuzuki as his fiancée, but broke off the engagement after Meroko/Moe committed suicide. Later in her life, Fuzuki married someone else and had Hazuki (Mitsuki’s mother).

Later, Hazuki fell in love with Aoi Koga, the son of the violinist that both Fuzuki and Meroko/Moe fell in love with, and a member from the band Route:L. She eloped with him, and was killed in an accident when rushing to the hospital when she went into labor. Fuzuki was only left with Mitsuki.

Devastated by the loss of her daughter, Fuzuki became very strict with Mitsuki in hopes that she would not lose Mitsuki to music as well. After Mitsuki runs away from home to become Fullmoon, Fuzuki constantly worries about her and gradually realizes she cannot keep Mitsuki from music. When grandmother and granddaughter are reunited, Fuzuki comes to accept Mitsuki’s desire to sing and the two reconciliate. Fuzuki later attends Fullmoon’s final concert and also Mitsuki’s concerts three years later in the company of Tanaka and Mitsuki’s paternal grandfather and her new husband, Seijyuro.

More… This time from Meroko’s bio:

Meroko, who was named Moe Rikyou when she was alive, was Mitsuki’s grandmother’s best friend. Mitsuki’s grandmother, Fuzuki, was engaged to be married and Moe was a 16-year-old girl. One day they both met a violinist and the trio spent much time together from then on. Moe fell in love with the violinist, but he loved Mitsuki’s grandmother so he became engaged to her and the person who was once engaged to her was passed on to Moe. When she was told the news, she rushed to Fuzuki’s house to see if it was true and caught Fuzuki and the violinist kissing, then abruptly ran off. Later on, her fiancee tried to rape her and she ran away in the rain. Feeling depressed and suicidal, Moe slit her wrists and bled to death.

I could never imagine Meroko being Mitsuki’s grandmother’s best friend – I mean they don’t seem to fit together at all! And there goes Meroko’s suicide… bah.

Ye Old Alchemists Recipe for Making Gold

Ye Old Alchemists Recipe for Making Gold

1. Take some alum (that’s a compound of aluminium, sulphur, potassium and oxygen.)
2. Add some coal dust, pyrites (iron ore) and a few drops of mercury (the runny metal found in some thermometers).
3. Mix well
4. Stir in an ounce of cinnamon (spicy-tasting tree bark) and half a dozen egg yolks. Keep stirring until the mixture is gooey.
5. Then add a generous dollop of fresh horse dung. Keep stirring.
6. Finally, add some sal ammoniac. (This is a poisonous mixture of ammonia and chlorine found in volcanoes).
7. Bake well in a hot oven for six hours. The result should be pure gold. (If you’re lucky)

I would not bet on it. It’s not funny either. -_-;

A Dose of MapleStory… (1)

I just feel like starting this ‘dose of MapleStory’ thing to put some random screenshots I’ve taken while playing the game.

So, here you are:

“you fart.”

Lady at the counter, lots of work to do? I only see you walking around behind the counter.

More to come, I promise!

Senior 3 prefects… are they special?

I smelt something fishy. I knew it. The Bear did had something to do with this. I had predicted it.

Here’s the story: Originally Sit (who was 3S Gather’s Souvenir Leader) had only planned to add still photos into the empty discs which is to be burnt  (not to be confused with 2S Gather) for the outgoing Senior 3 prefects as 3S Gather’s souvenirs. The-Bear-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had lamented that putting plain still photos into the discs is a little… ‘not that good’, and had suggested that the discs for Senior 3 prefects should be made special – into VCDs. As for everything else, The Bear shall be involved directly in converting the still images into something which is viewable clearly through VCD players.

I don’t feel like going against what they’re planning to do. Firstly, I think that it is bad to add raw photos. Secondly, the S3 prefects are going to have their copies of souvenirs special in the first place anyway – in other words, without stuffs in the 2S Gather.

However, there’s a tiny bit which I’m not really satisfied with: what’s with The Bear and all the cool suggestions? Why can’t any other prefects come up with such ideas or proposals?!

I feel so embarassed to be in S1Zhong

This is why:

Look at the back of the class… there’s the skeleton drawing… S1Zhong’s work of art. By the way, the photo was taken during the Entrance Examination, and even posted up to the Tshung Tsin Website! – I wonder what would the Primary Six pupils’ parents’ reaction be after they had seen the “art”?

The other day, Mr. Lai made a remark on “art” which all of us were shivering as there’s a big word “AHLAI” at the corner – I was the one who wrote it. Somewhat, we survived – either he missed it or he ignored it, but I suspect that he had ignored it.

Although I am not a part of the group which created the “work of art”, but as a part of S1Zhong, I feel really really embarassed. Is there a hole where I can hide myself in? Grr.

I saw a few farmiliar faces in MapleSEA website!!!

Big deal, some of you might say.

Wished I were there.

“All Tunku wanted was ‘to mandi’, not Mandy”

Try reading this:

“In the 1960s, the Tunku visited England at the height of the Christine Keeler scandal. She was a high society call girl, having an affair with the then British war minister, John Profumo, and a Russian naval attache at the same time. She had a good friend named Mandy Rice.

“When our good Tunku arrived at London Airport, our high commissioner asked him what he wanted to do first. The Tunku replied: ‘First, I want mandi.’

“The British reception party stiffened, the polite smiles frozen on their faces. They thought the Tunku wanted Mandy Rice,” he laughed.

I loled. Tunku here is referring to Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister.

Indonesian?!

Try reading this:

Sampai sini perkenalannya masih normal, jadi aku tidak perlu menengok ke belakang untuk melihatnya. Aku hanya melihat ke depan dan mendengarkan suaranya yang tegas. “saya tidak berminat pada orang biasa. Kalau diantara orang di sini ada alien, penjelajah waktu, slider, atau esper, silakan datang kedepan saya! Selesai.”

Mendengar hal tersebut, aku langsung menengok ke belakang.

Dia memiliki rambut mulus yang hitam dan panjang. Wajahnya yang manis dipenuhi dengan keberanian dan tantangan ketika seluruh kelas menatapnya. Kesungguhan dan ketetapan hatinya bersinar melalui matanya yang menyilaukan dan alis matanya yang panjang. Bibirnya yang tipis menutup. Ini kesan pertama ku dari gadis ini.

Sounds pretty farmiliar, doesn’t it?

In fact, it’s from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya where Haruhi’s making her self-introduction on the first day of school. There’s unofficial Indonesian translation over at baka-tsuki. Go read it if you’re bored.
