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.

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.

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.

Before K-ON!, there was BECK

Alright, this one has been sitting in my backlog for far too long...

Well, here you have it folks, the last entry for 2010, in which I'll post my two cents on this one particular musical anime series. I'll hopefully write another post by tomorrow, on new year resolutions and stuff.


At the time of writing (4th of December), I am 2 days away from being slaughtered by the fearsome attack of not one, but FOUR papers in exam’s week. Also, it’s 1 in the morning, and I’ve just slept for 5 hours last night.

So why am I still up, writing this? For one thing, I suddenly found myself getting excited over the next anime convention, imagining all the awesome stuff and awesome people that I expect to meet. But there’s another thing – something more significant – that made me to get up from bed, to write this… and that would be an old anime series that I’ve just finished marathoning (during exam week, even!)

Comic Fiesta 2010

So. I went to Comic Fiesta for both day, and stayed for the whole day.

It was very tiring - I spend practically the whole day standing - and I was very very nervous on going to the event (on both day I actually had 'take it easy' chanting in my head on and on)...

But lemme tell you, that it was FUCKING AWESOME.

Picture very related

Comedy is a powerful weapon

Honestly, I don't really give a fig about politics ('cause I'm a recluse who thinks a lot of humans are effing stupid, and that the subject in question is usually wrapped up in a lot of jargons and bullshits, partly due to them politicians).

This guy, however, is awesome:

Respect!

And even if you're not really into politics, the part where he talks about a certain part of... well, just go and watch it alright?

It's been a while since I've saw something that really cracked me up like this.

This picture is highly relevant - OH YESSSSS

And as I promised in the last post, I have indeed finished my papers! Time to take it easy~

How's everyone doing?

P/S Whoops, so much for having a Touhou related post... well, uh, enjoy that Koishi pic :V

Procrastinating by Touhouing, Part 2

To continue the second part of Touhou videos, we're going to look at some video that would surely make those not familiar to the series go, "is Touhou an anime series?"


Warning: the videos here are mostly your kawaii-desu moestuff. Don't say I didn't warn ya =B

Procrastinating by Touhouing, Part 1

While I'm busy (?) procrastinating, I've been Touhouing as usual. The activities would include looking at Touhou fanarts, playing the game, listening to the musics, and reading the doujins. You know, the usual.

Animangaki 2010

I am of course not saying that I am one - I'm just not hardcore enough to be called as one. But I could totally relate to the point mentioned here.

Anyway, let's get down to the real content of this post:

On Touhou: a brief history of a fan's procrastination

If you wanna know, I’m a terrible procrastinator and delayer. In addition to that, I’m rather slow at picking up the latest fad/craze/trend/jumping into the bandwagon. And nothing better illustrate it than observing the sequence of events that lead to my current obsession with Touhou.

Don't say lazy – lest you end up as a shut-in like her

Let's learn English: the F word

Ask any person with a small grip on English, and he woulda know what the F word means.

It's not fishes by the way. Or fart. Or fun. Or freak. Yeah, that F word - don't act all innocent now eh?

Posting this 'cause I'm in the mood for shouting this word, heh.

For more f'in fun, here's the F word, in le olde English (or so claimed the artist):

A day in the life of a budak batu: the fieldworks

Alright, since there is a serious lack of geology in this blog, plus a bit of prodding from a few people (well, a very small number actually), I figured I should get back on writing on this particular subject that have interested me ever since I was a kid, when collecting rocks is among some of the way I spend my pastime (yeah, I’m that kind of kid).

Right then: I figured that I’ll start with the aspect of geology that is not too technical, easy to relate with, and most importantly, something that I don’t have to crack my brain to find all the facts: it is the fieldwork of the geology course that I’ve been enrolled to.

Please read it easy~

Down the drain

Shits are happening lately: ergo, my lack of motivation to write anything here for the past couple of days (well, along with some other more important things too).

Internet is still down, so I'm spending my (internet browsing time) at a location that is, well, not really conductive for internet browsing (mainly because it's 'indecent' to do so - get the hint?)

Mah blogger homie is on the newspaper!

How're you doing on this fine Raya day, everyone? Are you still visiting houses, collecting your duit raya, stuffing your stomach, and meeting obnoxious and annoying relatives?

Or, are you now sitting in front of your PC, browsing through the net, just like a certain bored blogger?


Anyway, there's this one pretty interesting article on the newspaper just a day before Raya, and let me quote it:

Hidden Illuminati symbols can be found in the design and shape of both delicacies, at least according to a young Malay blogger, Lufkin. The checkerboard folds of ketupat wrapping, and scroll-like shape of the lemang have sinister meanings, he said in his blog post.


Wow, this Lufkin must be one crazy conspiracy theorist, right?

Music the great communicator

Co-incidentally, there were some talk of musicians in some other blogs that I'm watching, so the timing for this post is... I dunno, good?

Anyway, I figured that after my rambling on anime watching, I'd talk a bit on my music listening. Bear with me as I go on for a bit of rambling...


My brother once described my music taste as 'indie'. He was of course not really comparing my choice of musicians to that of the so-called 'indie musicians' - what he was merely pointing out was that I listen to many different genre of music - with some genre that is even rather hard to pinpoint.

Radiohead have great song (and great video too)

While writing about narcissist and attention seekers in the last post, I was looking for the lyric of a song by a certain rock band from UK. I am of course referring to the great Radiohead (shame you if you don't know them =P), and the song in question is just "Just"

Touhou: the other side of the game

I’ll be honest about Touhou: I’ve heard about it way back since last year, but I’ve never actually check it out until about a few month ago.

And I’ve since then come to be a big fan of Touhou, and while it’s still too soon to say so, I think I’ll continue to stick around the series for quite a while.

Anyway, moving on to the post…

Jun'ya Ota @ ZUN, the loli loving, booze drinking, awesome creator of Touhou

Jun, a certain geologist from a certain university from a certain country (no relationship with the former, but related to yours truly)
