Pre C81 fangirling

Comic Fiesta 2011
Alrighty, obligatory post-event report (or picspamming, to be more exact)
As of last year, this one ends up being Touhou-oriented. The #1 reason for this, most would already be acquainted with by now; and as for #2: all of the pictures are taken by someone else, who somewhat have similar preference.

Suddenly, it's only...
Near mid of December already. And that one event is just less than a week away. And I'm not properly ready for it yet. Got some stuff that I have to finalize.
This year I'm not coming to the event in civilian clothes. Yeap, it's what you think it is. Nervous + anxious + excited + I wonder what will happen on that day. Might let out more on that in post-event review. Maybe.
Slow progress on Master application. Planning to do so next week, see the head of department and stuff. Go meet lecturers. Have lunch with dudes I haven't seen for a while. Plan plan plan plan. The cogs and wheels in my head are turning. I'm writing haiku in my head to put things into perspective (wait, what)
...OK. Got a whole load of stuff in my backlog, but those might be pushed in times when I don't have anything to write. Or just sit there for god knows how long.
Why am I writing all this. I dunno. Just for the sake of writing I guess. Gehhhhhhh
Ah well, random pic, since I don't know what else to put as filler. Have at it:
Writing will probably resume after christmas. Or after next weekend.
Take it easy guys~

Yellow Zebra, dissolved
First of all, go through this page (Google Translate if you wanna know the gist of it - don't worry, it makes sense most of the time; heck, even the url gave it away).
So with this, I guess the rumour that I heard of this year being the last M1 was true after all.
Now to be honest I've only watched a couple of the M1 series video, and even then, I hadn't then know that they were produced by Yellow Zebra. But the circle itself, on the other hand...

That feel when...
You have a lot of posts in your backlog which you had planned on publishing, but they end up in there so long that you've even forgotten why you started writing them in the first place.
I know it's not as if I have deadlines and schedules to follow here, but I like to put up some writing every once in a while. At least it puts forward what I have in mind - perspectives, ideas, and whatnot - in light so that I could review it and get myself to do more thinking.
...or something like that. Figured out that it's better to throw out some thoughts than to let it stagnate in the nook and crannies of the brain, mm?
On the other hand, I feel like putting aside those rants (not that I have much to rant about now anyway) and move on to a subject which has long interest me (you know what it is). Still, some would be more 'itsa me!' perspective rather than a thoughtful analytical(?) writing... but that's fine and all, mm?
I might even bring back to dead some of those old forgotten posts. Wait for it...
I noticed a lack of writings from the regular dudes and dudettes. So...
obligatory How are you doing?

Animals go to heaven
I've just received news yesterday that two of the kittens at our house have died. One apparently died due to some sort of disease (snake bite seems to be the culprit), whereas the other one - on the day after that - died after being ran over.
No I do not want to inquire who it was that ran him over. Let bygones be bygones.
The best thing about animals: they don't argue on what would happen in the life afterward. So now both of them have passed on, to become one with nature, where they are to fertilize any flowers which you could care to name.
We're going to miss you Elgee and Lucky.

I had 回路-kairo- on loop all day long
Without going into much details, I've let it all go. I've let all those nasty things out of my system. And it feels good.
Friends are awesome. Cherish them, and live a happy life.
Take care, friends.

Seize the day, boys
I sincerely believe that anyone who is really into something - who is really passionate about it - and who knows what they are doing, no matter how mediocre (or poor) the starting is, should be encouraged.
Or at the very least, stop giving them the evil eyes or snide remarks just because they're doing something different. Or are you jealous because you can't do the same thing, mm?

A 9-5 life in Gombak: The wait
Currently I'm working part-time at a consulting agency for engineering geology while I awaits for some progress on my Master application. Things are going pretty well, but it's been so long since when I first applied that I've somewhat lost the momentum in terms of researching.
Going through literatures and papers is in order, it seems, to get the flame flickering again, like.

A funky philosophical ride after a dose of shroom
You know, I had my dose of 'shroom just now, and right there, while reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything (it's a mighty good book - I'd recommend everyone to read it), I began to ponder the philosophical question of human existence:

Jrock no Tamashii 2
After the last concert I went way back in March, I decided to go again to another one: this time, it's Jrock no Tamashii 2, featuring bands which does - what else - Japanese music, with an emphasis on the heavy sound of rock (and the occasional metal).
The concert was last Sunday, and I somewhat got sidetracked while writing this - you know, the usual.

My thoughts on crossplaying
What are the similarities between crossplaying and heavy metal music?
My answer is:
-Both are stereotyped and easily dismissed by the public
-Controversial
-People outside the scene just don't get it
-The proponents and fans could easily get too carried away
-There's a surprisingly strong circles and communities for both scenes
-I don't know the exact words in English, but in Bahasa Malaysia, we call them 'bajet ganas' - the rough translation would be the projection of an image to scare or disgust the public, whereas their actual personalities are the exact opposite
-To the principal upholders, it is awesome

Massive Attack
Just doing a short post to get around my problem of not being able to fall asleep early enough. Probably I'm not making much sense, but I tried.
Massive Attack. Now, how could I be drawn to these duo (then trio) that pioneered the Trip-hop genre, way back in their town in Bristol, when I was into fast-sounding rock and metal music?
The truth was, way back in 2005, I found a review in magazine about the band, and I thought, 'wow, that's a pretty cool name for a band. And dark trip-hop sound? I wonder if it is as good as it sounds...'

Why would I share something personal with people on the internet?
Title says it all. And THAT is precisely what I'm going to do here.
The usual familiar style of rambling and long winded words when writing posts of these natures.
[This was written on the whim yesterday morning, after I stayed up for something like 20+ hours. Probably I'm not making much sense then, but I'm not bothered with the cleanup and editing. I'll just post this one up and leave it here. Time to move on...]

Bare necessities
Paradoxically, staying at home lately have made me to stay away more from the internet - solitude at its best innit?
Another strange paradox is how I don't spend as much time on some other equally time-consuming past time (read: internet lurking and animu watching). And what did I make out of all this? It made me ponder on certain aspects in which some people simply can't live with - some more severe once they experience withdrawal from these, some not so.

Comiket 80 music albums - the wait

I'm scared now (like a confused teenager, raging at the world/like a tired man, disconted at the world)
I don't know what the hell is going on with my life. I have been so uncertain, so confused, so... scared at what is going around right now (or rather, what is to come). And when I think about it, I'm too old to pass as a rebellious teen, nor am I too old to be a disgruntled man that seen all the worst that life could pass.
This is going to put off many people (hell, as if my usual ranting posts weren't enough - I am so sorry that this place have to step so low and become a bitching hole for me), but some things I just wanted to let it out. Besides, I need to clear my mind of all these negativity in preparation for next month.
So, urm, what's my face reaction at this point, I wonder. Like a man about to pour forth some sort of confession? An apathetic face? So frustrated that I wanted to cry?
Heavens know why I can't flip on the ignorant-is-bliss switch in my mind...

Today on the 9th of July, the city will be busy, as the clash of all four colours of Jalur Gemilang will take place - in the streets, houses, blocks, buildings... in the hearts and minds of the people...
And me? I'm siding myself with the white team. That's right, I'm just sitting here in my room, trying to finish the writeup to my project (which is due next week, by the way).

Just feelin' the monday blues
You know one thing I quite hate?
It's when people ignore you/don't give to hoots about you - when you say something to them, I mean.
Because it makes me think of two things:
1) Am I not making it clear that I except some sort of reaction/feedback from the other party?
2) The other person don't care about me at all.

Can I play with madness?
Ever had that time where you woke up in the morning, and you just sit there at your bed for a couple of minutes, thinking... what have you done so far through this point of your life. Thinking... about what the distant future have in store with you. And then, you think some more about this over breakfast.
In fact, you might then engage yourself in yet another dreary routine of the day, pretending that it is not something that is worth pursuing your thought. But, without realizing it, that thought is still there, nagging at the back of your mind.

like a plate tectonic is one years old!
And, just like my birthday post way back, I post this one later than the original date as well.
After inception from 16th June 2010 - starting as what originally is going to be quasi-academical plus everything else besides that - the blog slowly drifted apart through several topics, where it now settles down to cover mostly Touhou, anime, music, (mostly) random rants and everything else besides that. Guess nothing much have changed during that time huh?
So as this won't be a short 'I just made a random post lolololol' I'll explain where I came up with the current internet username (which is admittedly long, and doesn't make sense).
Anyone who know me well may (or may not) know that I'm a sucker for puns. So while I was figuring out what to put as my username for this blog, two things came into mind: 1) faults, which is one of the many geological structure, and 2) Fujiwara no Mokou (which was - and still - my favourite Touhou character at that time).
And as I tried to link those two, I thought, 'hey, those 'faults' are not as 'faulty' as their name suggests... now that's an idea...'
Yeap, that was lame wasn't it?
Anyway, since I don't think I'll be posting anything for a while, I'll open the comment section for any questions/comment for the blogs/any random words that is related to this blog. Want me to write anything in particular for the next posts? Think there's something in the blog that needs modification? Or just wanted to ask any random question about me, but never have the chance?
Post them up down there in the comment section~

More photography? If you insists...
I don't really intend to make fun of any party out there (they know better about where they stand when it comes to photography - remember that surprisingly good pictures taken by the smartphone in my last post?), but this is too good to pass up.
I hope people won't mind these short picture majority posts; I mean, it's nice to just sit back and just enjoy a random pic or comic with some extra commentary, right...?
OK, I'm just lazy. So sue me.

Never judge a photographer by his gear...
'cause you'd be surprised at how that pretty so-so camera could take such great pictures. Sure that DSLRs are on the higher end compared to the compacts, but sometimes...
you get very good photos such as these, and just when you were going to say, "oh, I wonder which camera model the photographer uses", you freeze.

Because I have nothing better to do...
than to watch some trolls and the simple-minded 'will believe anything on the internet'. Guess some people just don't understand the concept of sarcasm, huh?
If you are bored, with nothing better to do to kill time, why don't you browse through the continuation of the wall of text? It really made my day, I'll say.
Yes, I have so much free time to spend on this little things, rather than working on my project; how productive is that huh?

Shoot em up!
You know, a funny thing happened at the last convention that I went to: I was gonna take a picture of two cosplayers, when this one fine gentleman offered to take a picture of me with them (even without me showing the intent to).
What happened afterward was that he gave me some advices on how to properly use my camera - I would've said, "uhh, and you're telling me all this because...?", but since he suddenly offered to take a picture of me out of the blue, I guess I'll let it slide.
And because he had given me some free unwanted advices, I thought I'd do the same and offer some advices on how to optimize the usage of (compact) digital cameras (sorry, I ain't got any DSLRs ahaha). Because knowledge is half of the battle innit?
This is not so much as a tutorial. Treat it as a rambling of some sort. After all, don't everyone love stories?

C2AGE 2011
So I said that I'm gonna get serious and work on my thesis as soon as possible right? Turns out I did a leeeetle detour last weekend, by attending one anime conventions.
B-but it's not as if I was slacking off or anything! It's a good chance to meetup some familiar faces (and some new ones), right? Right?

The place where I'll return to someday
How's everyone else? I see a lack of activity in the blogging sphere lately (i-it's not that I missed you guys or anything...)
...so yes, nothing much have been happening here back home. I've watched a couple episodes of this season's anime (with Nichijou and Deadman Wonderland being the ones I'm most up-to-date). I've watched the first episodes of X-men, planning to watch a couple of episodes from other anime as well: I'm keeping Ano Hana, C, Denpa Onna, and TWOGK 2 on my backlog. Also, I should get back to Kore wa Zombie and Fractale too - been leaving those 2 for a while now.

What's up guys. I was very very much into the last two papers that I actually stopped coming online for 2 days (that's how serious I was), so I have a lot to catch up on other blog posts. And when the papers finished on Thursday, I spend the weekend just chilling and taking it easy. I was planning to write this straight away after the last paper, but procrastination got the best of me, heheh.
Anyway, as of last Thursday, I have finished the last of my exam papers, leaving only my final project writing and presentation (which kinda scares the hell out of me... tho I have two month to patch it all up). Come July, and I'll be gone from my university for good (at least, until September where I'll return for Master, but that's a different story).
What follow is some account of my stay at college (yes, I actually stayed at the same college for the whole 3 years, even if I eventually grew to become bored of it):

He's dead
"Osama's Death Will Ensure A More Peaceful And Safe World "
- Comment from a certain local politician
- Comment from a certain local politician
Seriously?
So by now probably half of the people across the globe is celebrating for the death of Osama, with a small number doing the opposite, lamenting the loss of 'freedom fighter', 'defender of faith', 'global Islamic fighter', or whatever (yes, we get some of the latter here too).
As for me? I couldn't care less. I never approved of his modus operandi - and his own view that he's godsend - so naturally I wasn't moved when the news came in. Rather, what gets me instead is how most people are quick to jump into the bandwagon and say, "finally, that terrorizing bastard is dead!", thinking that removing this guy out of the picture would solve the problem that's going on right now. Well, do you think that REALLY make the world more peaceful and safe? You don't think another Osama will rise up somewhere (or rather, we will 'create' another one), and another bloody cycle begins anew?
And you keep voicing out against terrorism - but what about the other more serious shit that's going on?At this rate, I think hunger, overpopulation, and pollution will get to us before terrorism does - but this is not the place for me to discuss that. At least, not yet.
Well, I'm honestly quite ignorant when it comes to geopolitics, so I think Needless post makes a better job at discussing this issue (the picture at the end is ace too).
Yes, I promised earlier that I won't be here until the next 2 week, but I just gotta get this thing off my chest. It has really bothered me, honestly. Hope you excuse this ranting...
'tis but a distant dream...
As for me, I'm done with another paper today - the last 2 papers won't be until next week. So off to the studying table I go...
How's everyone else doing?

I could not take it easy
I don't know if it is indeed a conspiracy, but as with a few fellow bloggers, I've also contracted some sort of stomach illness. You know, the usual - stomach being mixed ala blender, having to go to the toilet practically every 2 hour (it disturbed my sleeping pattern, even), and generally not being able to take it easy. I spend the first day of the sickness lying in bed all day, that I had to ask one of my friend to buy dinner from outside.

Not exactly trolling, but...
A joke is a very serious thing?
I'm just giving a bit of flavour for my next post (which will come in a few more days - I've became busy of all a sudden). Worry not, for it's not going to be as silly as this one (I think...).

I'm just giving a bit of flavour for my next post (which will come in a few more days - I've became busy of all a sudden). Worry not, for it's not going to be as silly as this one (I think...).
In the meanwhile, enjoy some fanworks off the new Touhou series:
The rapidity... it's amazing

Well this is a surprise...
Apparently the demo for Touhou 13, Ten Desires, can be obtained at this website.
I would've played it straightaway, if it's not for my shitty internet that doesn't allow me to download it at all hurrrr. Anyone have tried their hands on this yet?
EDIT: The demo could be downloaded through a mirror via mediafire.
In the meantime, have some screenshot as posted by a certain Touhou fan that I know from FB. Credit goes to him for these:
And yes, I'm very much taking it easy now~

Deadline and test is tomorrow, and I'm surfing the 'net~
It's the final week of the semester (before study and exam weeks), so I've been burdened with a lot of tests and assignments, which would hopefully be finished once the weekend arrives.
Apologies for not frequenting blogs much (which would include this one haha). I have this one large quasi-discussion/semi-rant/wholly nonsense post that I have been keeping in the backlog for a while, and I might just put it up once my hands aren't tied (I actually have one small test and an assignment due for tomorrow, so back to the chopping board I go...)

A day out at a meido kafe
I'm currently in those very busy weeks - the one so busy that I don't have time to take it easy, much less to write anything here (I apologize for not dropping much at other blogs too). So... have this rather old 'MY BLOG' stuff while I rush off to finish some other things?
The day when mukyu~ meets JAOOOOOOO

Motto Loveressive & Concerto of the Scarlet Elements
So... even with Reitaisai 8 being cancelled, we still get some CDs being released by some circles (by the way, from what I heard, the event is being forwarded to 8th of May. I wonder if Kami no Pocky will go to Japan again this time around - do you plan to do so?)
I've only found 2 Reitaisai album on the interweb so far. I don't know about the other releases; maybe I should search for the rest later.

Happi birthdesu, kisama~
Damn I love this show
Although it was actually 2 days ago if you wanna know (yesterday if you're on the western part of the world). I was too busy and tired to post anything here for the event (well, not that anything interesting happened anyway).
I'm not telling ya my age, but I'll just give a hint: I'm still at a good(?) age of 20-something.

Where's the funny?
Seriously.
I don't get how this guy can find the whole thing something which he could make a joke about. Insensitive apathetic idiot much, huh?
And apparently this whole thing is picked up by some page on the interwebs too. Oh boy...
EDIT: well, they apologized (in Bahasa Malaysia by the way) over the issue and all, but still.

Ocean falls, and mountain drifts
I'm not exactly too enthusiastic after hearing of the recent 8.9 Magnitude earthquake that just hit Japan very recently. Earthquakes - and actually many other natural disasters - always makes me feeling all depressed. The thought of me sitting here all safe and dry, whereas scores of peoples in a distant (or not so distant) country never fails to get me feeling all down. Yes, that might be silly and all, but that's just the way I feel.
I'm now feeling more depressed than my usual depressed-self, considering how in the face of these natural disasters, there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it (well, there is of course prediction, but that doesn't change the fact that said disaster still takes place).

One of the most original Touhou arrangement that I've seen
I wasn't too much interested during the intro, but when the song starts... I was literally going :O
I don't usually post something on a whim like this, but this is too good to pass. The thing is, this look quite spiritual and solemn too, what's with the ritual and all. I wonder if that is actually the case (it's Buddhism, right?)
This is awesome, still.

A bit of update on Reitaisai's arrangement albums
I just browsed through the wiki page to add more circles to my to-listen-to list, and I am excited to see this:
It appears that it's going to be a 100% EoSD arrangement album, and the man himself, IRON-CHINO will lend his voice for an arrangement of Voile. This should be interesting; I wonder how he will tackle the song, which I don't hear too much vocal arrangements of it (and I don't think I've heard a male vocal for Voile before too). I'm not really expecting much from The Stahl tho - I only liked Rain In Vain out of the vocal tracks that he did for IRON ATTACK!.
(EDIT: How come Lunate Elf or Beloved Tomboyish Daughter arrangement is not there? D: )
Other than IRON ATTACK!, UI-70, C-CLAYS, THOUSAND LEAVES and Pizuya's Cell are also releasing an album (in the case of C-CLAYS, 2) for Reitaisai 8. I haven't listened that many arrangements from the last two circles... so this is all the more reason for me to do so, yeah?
In another news, apparently Barrage Am Ring is coming with another CD, this time a collaboration between CROW'SCLAW and Pizuya's Cell. I didn't really like the first BAR album on my first few listening, but I love them now. I'm looking forward to what kind of arrangements they'll do in this one.
Any other Touhou metalheads who are looking forward to these releases as well?
On a completely unrelated note, I've been catching up on Madoka today. I haven't watched too much of the other series of the season, but this is set to be my favourite out of the list so far. And now I'm tempted to check other work by Shaft too (I think I've only watched 2 or 3 of the series at the moment).
I can now see where all the hating of Kyubey is coming from too. It kinda surprises me how that :3 faced thing could be so hated haha.

Global Battle Of The Band (and Touhou music thingie)
A few days ago, I went to perhaps my first concert (the ones that they do in uni/public place doesn't really count). And I must say that it was quite exciting - I certainly wouldn't mind going to these kind of events any time in the future. If they are good concerts, I mean.
Pretentious hipsters event much? Hell I dunno, but at least the bands are not the pretty-faced boybands with sucky songs and pretentious fans, heh.

Deaf to all but the (Touhou) Song!
I've been meaning to post this for a long time, but I kinda forgotten all about it until just now.
So, lately I've been listening to pretty much Touhou arrangement, listening to practically nothing else (well, nothing new anyway - besides the arrangements, I've been going through some older stuff that I've kept in my hard disc as well).
And when it comes to Touhou arrangement - as with the other music that I listen to - I have a rather unsophisticated taste, which you would see in a short while:

Shitposting for a bit
I saw this on a fagbook, and I thought that it was just full of lul:
Honestly, the comments on the page made me to both laugh and facepalm at the same time. Anyone can talk big, but I wonder if they're as tough as they sound. So much for internet mobs eh...
I have just finished watching Toradora and Detroit Metal City, after putting them on the backlog for so long.
Toradora turns out quite good, better than what I expected. Looking at Taiga, and the apparently abundance of tsundere nowadays, I would certainly agree with one dude when he said that tsundere nowadays are starting to get pretty old.
As for DMC... I didn't know at first that Studio 4C was behind the series in the first place; I guess that would explain the slightly odd animation style. It's a pretty cool series - tho it might be a bit on the no-brainer side - but I think I prefer the movie version (the song sounds better there, methinks). Also, I think Krauser-san in the movie is more constrained, which can be a good or a bad thing, depending on your preference. I'd say the movie is certainly more toned down compared with the series.
Alright, time to get back to them backlogs. Sorry for not posting anything of significant content this time ahaha.
Here, have a ridiculously cute drawing of Krauser (Krauser-tan? lol)

ZUN speaks
I'm sure by now most people are aware of the announce by ZUN on his blog about new guidelines for derived Touhou work (or, if you can't read moonrunes, you might have read it from here)
EDIT: After reading more comments on the issue, I am further in agreement that the western fanbase can be quite terrible at times (or would you say most of the time?). I'll be honest guys, sometimes the fans do get on my nerves...

That Reimu plushie
Happy v-day to those who celebrated it~
As for me, I was too busy with uni to do anything for the day. Well, not that I really celebrate it in the first place anyway haha.
Anyway, remember that I mentioned on my plan on purchasing some girly toys, and how I found one that I'm interested in? Well, the plushie in question is a Reimu plushie that is released by Gift.
