Fruits Basket

Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Fruits Basket follows the life of the student Tohru Honda, who was recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, died in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when remodeling is needed on the house, Tohru resorts to living in a tent and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains optimistic.
One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that she is temporarily living in which is the home of Shigure Sohma and fellow classmate Yuki Sohma, of the Sohma family. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru pleads to live upon the property in her quaint tent (affectionately dubbed "her castle"). Feeling sorry for her, and desperate to end their days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. When her tent is buried that night in a landslide, burying her mother's picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept. Soon after she moves in, Kyo Sohma comes to challenge Yuki.
Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family's secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive at school: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac ("Jyūnishi" in Japanese) and the spirit of the cat who was left out of the Zodiac according to legend. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite gender, when they are under a great amount of stress, or weak in any way (such as being sick). When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not on the "Inside" of the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.
The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fits in, as well as the feared Akito Sohma, head of the Sohma family. Soon, after living with the Sohma family she began to like, then love all of the Sohmas.

Wow, what a shock, she scored 294 in 2007 PSLE

Saturday, November 24, 2007
Ok, this news is indeed nice, and shocking. JUST 6 marks away! And i thought PSLE is tough. Seems like there's more than one smart brain in S'pore. I only got 216 here in 2006 last yr. Well, at least i got into a good school. But, what can 294 do to me if its not me who scores the mark? Might as well delete this blog. Hehe... Boys may take this devastating blow seriously, for this yr, boys had fell behind as PSLE scorers. It might be Eurasian, Indian, Malay, but girls topped the boys in the examination.
Big blow? Some may asked. No, not such a big deal anyway, for we had gone to schools we wanted.
A really big embarrassment! Some may say. Girls should be not so smart! We are BOYS! How come we've fallen behind?
What i really wanted to say is boys might be boys, and there are things girls and only girls can do. But then it will do boys no good if they continue to slack off. I am sure they don't want to be behind all the time. Girls, mature fast. Yes, i agree with that point, but i refused to think that it can also be because girls HAVE extra help during the exam. No, it couldn't be. Then again, who knows? Who can tell that the girl did do well? One thing: PSLE examiners can CHECK. They are not colour-blind, biased or cheating. Otherwise how do SEAB trust them?
I will leave you to that!

Life

Tuesday, November 20, 2007
is precious;
is insufficient;
is priceless;
is lasting;
is long;
is short;
is how you see the world;
is in all of us, animal or human;
is extinguishable;
is created everywhere;
is EVERYWHERE;
is your little beating heart;
is your only chance of SURVIVAL;
is full of mysteries;
is yet to be unraveled;
is millions of lives;
is what your mother gave you;
is what you have;
is in all of us.
So as long as you cherish it, you will find lots of ways to live.

My view on Movie: Beowulf

Friday, November 16, 2007
People says that the show is nice. Yes, personally, i agree. You can hear those gasps from those people watching the movie when Angelia Jolie emerged from the waters as Grendel's mother. God, Ray Winstone must be handsome or something, but i think replace him with Brad Pitt is better, you know, watching Angelia seduce Ray on the silver screen and all. I myself have one thing for computerized movies. I will go TOTALLY mad. I love them, but they doesn't stop me from choking on popcorn at the expression of Beowulf when he saw Angelia. I am a thumbs-up for Angelia's performance. She is the most wanted woman in the whole world. I think i would prefer a replay of the Tomb Raider next time. Ray Winstone is nothing to seduce. He wears a bodysuit and the works, and let the computer brains do the animation. Nope, its not like i opposed the actors or anything. Its just that the actor is not suitable for the whole...role. Angelia, though, is sexy. When liquid gold slide down her figure, while the camera go 360 degrees around her, i think i am going to faint. She's just too gorgeous. Too gorgeous for a "old-looking" Ray Winstone who might have his mouth agape at the wonderful sight.

Chobits

Thursday, November 15, 2007
The story centers on the life of Hideki Motosuwa, a repeat student (浪人, Rōnin?) attempting to qualify for university by studying at the Seki prep school in Tokyo. Besides a girlfriend, the other thing he dreams of having is a Persocom. A Persocom is an android used as a personal computer; however, they are expensive, and Hideki has no money.
On his way home one evening, he stumbles across a Persocom in the form of a beautiful girl with long blonde hair lying against a pile of trash bags. He first thinks this to be a murder but, realizing she was a Persocom, he carries her home. Upon turning it on, she instantly regards Hideki with adoration. The only word she seems capable of saying is "chi", and thus he names her Chi. Although Chi does not appear to have any programs installed in her, Hideki's friends surmise that she must have some sort of learning program installed, judging from her behaviour.
A major part of the plot involves Hideki attempting to teach Chi words, concepts, and appropriate behaviours, in between cram school and work. At the same time, Chi seems to be developing feelings for Hideki, at an emotional depth, which Persocoms are not supposed to possess, and Hideki struggles with his feelings for her. The series explores the nature of Persocoms, human interactions with them, and the nature of love. All sorts of characters and their Persocoms are introduced, some of them loving Persocoms, and some of them considering them only as tools, and some of them hating them altogether.
In the later part of the story, the characters start to explore Chi's mysterious past. Chi discovers a series of picture books of mysterious origin, that seem to awaken something deep inside of her. The book inspires her to find the "person just for me", a euphemism used in the series to refer to one's true love. Chi is also a very special Persocom, and towards the end of the story, together with Hideki, discovers her true identity, as well as what lies within her.

Tsubasa: RESERVoir Chronicles


Sakura is the princess of Clow kingdom, which is ruled by her older brother, King Tōya. Her childhood friend Syaoran is a young archaeologist. Sakura is revealed to have strange powers when she has a vision of a mysterious symbol and places she has never seen. Meanwhile, Syaoran discovers the same symbol at the ruins he is excavating. He sees Sakura standing on the symbol on the ground. Ghostly wings appear on her back and a mysterious force begins to pull her into the walls of the ruins. Syaoran rescues her in time, but her wings are scattered across dimensions. The High Priest of Clow Kingdom, Yukito, immediately realizes that Sakura's "wings" were the manifestation of her soul and memories; without them, she will die. In order to save Sakura, Syaoran must journey to retrieve her wings' feathers, the fragments of her memories.
Yukito sends Syaoran and the unconscious Sakura to the Dimensional Witch, Yūko, who is one of the main characters in xxxHolic. There he meets Kurogane, a rough-mannered ninja banished from his world by Princess Tomoyo, and Fay D. Flourite, a magician who fled his world to avoid King Ashura. Each of them must pay with what he values most in order to gain the power to cross dimensions. For Kurogane, it is his sword Ginryū, and for Fay, it is the symbols on his back which regulates his control of his magic. Syaoran, on the other hand, must pay with his relationship with Sakura: even if he is able to retrieve all of her memories, she will never remember anything about him or their relationship. (This sacrifice also pays Sakura's "toll" to Yūko, because what Sakura values most are her memories of and with Syaoran.) Only when the three agree to her terms does Yūko present them with the power to cross dimensions; a white creature named Mokona Modoki.
While traversing through worlds to find Sakura's feathers, the four travellers and Mokona are forced to overcome many dangers and opponents, some of whom are figures from Syaoran's past who wish to collect Sakura's feathers for their own reasons as they are seen to be objects that hold great power.

Scrapped Princess


The story takes place in a fantasy world and revolves around a 15-year-old girl Pacifica Casull who is a girl child born in a set of twins into the royal family of the kingdom Leinwan and then abandoned. The 5111th Grendel Prophecy predicts that she is the "poison that will destroy the world" before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. As a consequence, she is dropped off a cliff as an infant. Believed to be dead, no one realizes her continued existence until after Pacifica is 15 years old already.
Pacifica is rescued by a court wizard and adopted by the commoner Casull family. Her foster siblings - Shannon, loner swordsman, and Raquel, motherly magician - became her protectors. Both siblings are extremely powerful, and more often than not they easily break out of whatever difficult situation they face.
Her siblings travel with her throughout most of the story, protecting her from the numerous attempts on her life by people who fear the outcome of the prophecy, should she survive. Both siblings' skills see constant use. By contrast, Pacifica is a mostly typical fifteen-year-old, and her inability to defend herself is a recurring source of self-doubt for her. As the series progresses, the truth about the prophecy slowly comes to light, and even as the more of the truth is revealed, more questions arise. Pacifica must discover her hidden destiny, even as powerful beings that are not human (or are they?) - who are supposedly the gods of this world - continuously fight against each other, over her fate, seeking to either protect or destroy her. It turns out that Pacifica is not in fact "a poison who will destroy the world" in that sense...but in fact mankind's last hope, and all part of a plan. A plan that was set in motion a long, long time ago by not primitive humans but highly intelligent and advanced ones, at that. Can destiny be written beforehand? The answer lies deep in the past, five thousand years ago during the Genesis Wars...

Cardcaptor Sakura 2 : The Movie


The movie starts at a deserted western-style house in the process of being demolished. Suddenly there is a small explosion within the house and a mysterious card is seen illuminating under the half-destroyed floor.
Sakura and Tomoyo go to Yomeda Yuen, a new amusement park, to relax after rehearsing a play at their school in which Sakura plays the princess and Takashi Yamazaki plays the prince. There, they bump in Syaoran and Meiling (Sakura literally "bumped" into Syaoran.) Sakura's feelings for Syaoran are unexpressed despite the fact that he has made his feelings known to her.
Sakura's cards begin to disappear without her noticing. But Sakura notices that parts of her town are going missing. A postal box and a small bridge in her local park both disappear, as if they have been cut off with a sharp knife.
Sakura soon finds out from Eriol that this new power is Clow's 53rd card, the Sealed card. It has the power of all of the other 52 cards combined. Eriol explains that the balance between the two powers was broken when the positive cards became Sakura Cards. He also says that every time the Sealed Card gets a Sakura Card, something near her will be lost. To solve the problem, Sakura must convert the sealed card into a Sakura Card and restore the balance. But in order to do so, one's most important feeling must be sacrificed.
It is finally the day of the Nadeshiko Festival. Everybody in town is out to enjoy this special day. Another card flies away from Sakura's bag and a big void sphere appears in the school ground, Sakura uses Sleep to prevent a panic but moments later, it also flies away. Takashi injured his arm when he fell under the power of Sleep and cannot participate in the play. Some students suggest canceling the play but Takashi suggests that Syaoran take his place.
Later that evening, the play finally starts. In the middle of it, the stage lights suddenly explode and the ground begins to shake. A string of Sakura Cards flies away from her bag into the dark sky. Dark void spheres appear over the audience making everyone except for Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Kero, and Yue vanish. Sakura is determined to get them back and defeat the Sealed Card. Syaoran states hes going with her.
More of the Sakura cards are stolen as the battle begins. Tomoyo and Meiling are captured by the dark spheres as well. It is then that Yue points to where the Sealed Card is hiding - Tomeda Yuen. Yue and Cerberus both attack the Sealed Card but are quickly captured in a dark sphere. Syaoran confronts the card, thinking that he stands a chance against it since his magic is not dependent on the Clow Cards. He manages to hurt the Sealed Card but it eventually deflects his attack and another void sphere appears around him, but he reappears at the base of the tower, wounded. Sakura races after the Sealed Card, but is trapped between two gaping holes. The Sealed Card tells Sakura that she is lonely and wants her friends back and doesn't understand why Sakura gets in the way. Sakura retaliates by saying that friends never push each other. The Sakura cards free themselves from the girl's powers and surrounds the sphere. The Sealed Card is shocked and collapses in tears. The cards align themselves to make a bridge between Sakura and the girl. Sakura approaches the girl and tells her not to worry and join them. While Sakura is prepared to transform the Sealed Card, she remembers that she has not expressed her feelings. When she orders the rebirth of the card, it attacks the person next to her, Syaoran. The attack is negated by a card that Sakura made, when she thought about Syaoran and cried. The tear and her feelings made a new card, called The Hope. The card transforms and Sakura collapses in tears.
Sakura stares at Syaoran with tears in her eyes. She believes it is too late but she expresses her true feelings to him anyways. He replies in a gentle voice that he feels the same way, "Me too, Sakura." the way Syaoran said her name made Sakura realize that Syaoran didn't lose his important and most cherish feeling, his love for Sakura.

Innocence


Innocence stolen without my permission
Innocence gone without my submission

Innocence lost through another’s plan
Innocence no longer for another man

Innocence turned to hatred and fear
Innocence gone, no man can come near

Innocence taken from a little girl’s heart
Innocence replaced by mistrust, you thought you were smart

Innocence disappears like dew in the sun
Innocence faded before it’s begun

Innocence obscured like a cloud over the moon
Innocence ripped away too soon
