Candies n chocs in a jar

Again, i’m back….perhaps not getting the full dose of writing…or perhaps overdosed with coffee. I drugged myself with 2 cups, as a subtitute to all the hours i’ve lingered off taking journeys to the moon and back. Finally finished off with my front page assignment, took a whopping 2 weeks to do so. I checked the fruit of my endeavor, pretty twisted up just like the previous result of a 3am dawn-breaking attempt to finish up a powerpoint presentation assignment. Mid term break’s almost over and soon enough my mid term exam will be coming after me. It’s already Wednesday today and god knows i’m trying my hands on suicide to want to accomplish 7 chapters of edu psy in 3 days. All past experience with the texts has got me crazy trying to stuff every bit of facts in this sleep-deprived and overworked brain. Bet millions of neurons has gone berserk and have probably shut down by themselves on strike for abuse.

      Now i’ve finally known the reason why I devoured so much food during the day……owh, the kgs are catching up. Don’t even think of diet….the books and reference should!!they ought to end up in at least 8 sessions from Marie France’s. Chocs and starwberries…how I miss them….and ice-cream too….my stressbusters. Sigh..till I get back on my  conscious feet and run alert for uni life will I get to even think of stepping into heaven on earth. *prays: may all be well and that i don’t go psycho for gaining knowledge on educational psychology. Thank god. 

        wow…time consuming and patient needed work …ii had wanted to post this up for a long time….

         though the song doesn’t refer directly to both NANAs in NANA….but i guess the ending of the movie which left me wondering bout what wud happen to our cute little NANA… indeed realized the fact that it became an endless story….

P/S:NANA the movie has been released and the anime halfdone….even the   manga itself wasn’t completed as yet to this date…..so does it mean it’d b an endless story??

my apologies for trouble on viewing the images…due to technical error

Endless Story - Yuna Ito (NANA OST.)

Lyrics

REIRA starring YUNA ITO
Lyrics: D.A.THOMAS
Music: D.A.THOMAS
Romaji & English translation by: cori
From the single, ENDLESS STORY

If you haven’t changed your mind
I want you to be by my side Tonight

I was tired of acting strong
I was too young Everytime I think about you baby
Now I can tell you that I miss you
It is hard to say I’m sorry

For instance, I want to sing this song
not for someone else, but for you
The endless story continues into this radiance
I always want to tell you always, forev

Memories of our time together
don’t disappear, they stay like this, they don’t go away

Beginning to melt warmly & make certain,
the drops of kindness spread on my chest
I’m missin’ you so much that I’m sad
Don’t let go of my hand upon yours

For instance, if the wish comes true,
I want to sing this song for you again
The endless story with an endless love
tell me why tell me always & forever

          Extremely shocked……..i wonder what on earth am i doing at this immediate moment……probably too bored…outa the blue….tried to recall what i’ve been doing over the past few days to make the world turn so fast…

        staring at the half-done da vinci code…mika’s FIND THE WAY played softly through the end of the line….yes…find the way….what way??and how?? i’m completely blurred out……there were things that needed to be tend to…my resolutions…they swung out from the dusty, cob-webbed memory of past….and which i gladly past them by day by day….

        Oh..if only i knew what i had in mind…and the roads would lay in front of me without having to fiddle over complicated thoughts of anything and everything i had to do…to live…….words could blurt out just like that…without any purpose to it…hah…if they’d laid out like building blocks all i need to do i just take my 1st step ……..pheww…..life ain’t that simple like arranging a 3-6 year old puzzle…

        *ping!…reality…reality…..my….its already 10 minutes past 3…..seems that my stomach didn’t ring the lunch bell ..dats weird for a food gobbling person like me…i did skip my normal breakfast of assortments….

         well….ppl won’t bother to listen to such crap i’m typing anyway…save the words…darn laundry needs to be introduced to the sun….shish!..g’bye dear blog..^^..hopefully i’d be able to see myself soon……(i know that cud b done witha  mirror…i don’t mean that~!!!)

    how time flies n i hav nv realised how it flows by into the ocean of history…its ad been two months since i left home for kedah. And now, in a blink of an eye, i’m ad sitting here typing watever was triggering my mind to turn them into words once again. Life was never the same in college, days differ from one another n in all, it moulded another part of my life. I was made  bolder, stronger and i strived harder to go on as i felt another pair of shoes slipping in rather smoothly into my feet.

         Now that i am home, i felt much more unsecured..the need to know who i was n wat i should do became an urge. I was a constant nomad wondering where i was and what i was doing……maybe b4 that, i didn’t have time to even consider this in college. I could feel my heartbeat…my brain was signalling me to study to finish my tutorials…..but no…my body coordination went low.It was as if i got an injection of some interactive liquid which made me drowsy n tired all day. I remained on the spot i resigned while everything around me brushed past me n marched toward the finishing line.

        There wasn’t any urge for me to continue what i had planned or even what i had in mind just a moment ago….everything went asway. I have nothing in mind…i was facing an empty space with no horizon………..and again…i asked myself….was i dreaming? or was i living in a world of dream……or was i just meerly dreamy????

       Its already friday today, and school’s next tuesday!! dunno whether its worth a hooray since i’ve been through such a long slacking half a year. the urge to return to school keeps comin on and off….. maybe i’m just used to being in the mouldy n rusty corner for that 5 months long of nothing but break.

        But speaking bout that, i didn’t really lie around like a couch potato (for 4 months i think), i did some chores, read the papers, cleared some stuff, chat with my fish, tend my sick flowerhorn, did my prayers, create some mischieve thoughts n fed my curiosity during the time being….

      Well,today will be a day i’ll never forget….Eek~~(><) that 2 solid hours of basic driving lessons just took my breath away for the rest of my day. Probably my soul….this whole week is just a tiring pack, slightly overboard for my usual ‘housewife’ like routine. Other than that i got my hair cut…which was kinda weird, nothing interesting…just mounts of work to get it combed the right way. But after that…i got overdose with the smell of my shampoo….it was nice…but since it was too close…i reckon if anyone’d suffocate to the yogurt like smell. At least not in school i hope, i don’t want any additional blush on my tomato cheeks like what happened on the road today.

         Oh no~~listening to my piano teacer nagging at my bro, this only reminds me of that deadly experience of siging from my driving instructor. Oh god!!keep him away from me~~(hope i don’t see him again till i master driving =P) I reached home feeling half a failure, and got off with bigger worry…i’m gonna drop asleep anytime now. It’ll be my turn of finger twists and turns in about half an hours time..sobz~~

        okay, i just want a good sleep…and i need that badly….off i go…i can’t stand this anymore…just let me stop in heaven for an hour…please???

                      Its another normal day, the weather’s going weird n driving me crazy..my boredom is overpowering me. All’s well, my heart is beating, my eyes are wide open, my ears drowned in music…..but theres just a pinch that i’m not feeling normal today. Sigh…perhaps you could label it as loneliness-syndrome?? i feel unusually depressed today….my senses are entangled……oh, how i wish to spread my wings and fly….. leaving my troubled mind behind….or just swim in the deep blue ocean……..

            Pouring my head in the korean cook book doesn’t take me to korea…staying at home doesn’t make my korean better, nothing urged me to go for optimism..and then music touched my soul. I didn’t realise that music was so important a part of my life.The voice of park hyo shin melted my heart away….my sanity clicked back home, and i indulged in every tune that came from the speaker. As I continue to mesmerise in his songs…my mind and soul was drifting away to heaven and i was once again filled with rich memories. Of kimchi myon and kimbap, I fell in love once again….if only i could fly to korea….oh god, fly me to seoul…..

             Its only ten minutes to 3 pm and i guess i shall be dreaming of korea for the day……so-ul ae ka yo, so-ul saranghae……

The film started with a very soul soothing tune compiled with scenes of the golden paddy fields in the midst of sunset. Having such an interesting introduction, Pasongsong gyerantak, otherwise known as cracked eggs n noodles in english or My son, my rival in chinese left me with mixed feelings after watching it. Again, i had managed to gone through a whopping 120 minutes on this film……without subtitles. (it shoud be with english subs!!!dang!) With most parts fast- forwarded, all i could get was that this film depicted a 26 year old dad who got a 7 year old son out of no where, shattering his young life of courting the ladies out there.

Dae Gyu (casted by lim chang jung) posseses a good looking face which most ladies would be interested in. Having such good opportunities with the ladies, Dae Gyu got frustrated as this so called son of his kept following him and calling him "appa"! all over the place….and ofcourse got the ladies away with lots of ppl peering at them.

         After days of struggling to chase the boy away, be it dragging him out of the house, pretending not to know him or sending him to the police station, Dae Gyu ’shi’ finally surrendered n brought In Kwon to live with him. Despite so, Dae gyu continued to have intentions of getting the little kid out of his life for good. He promised to go on a long long trip with him….with evil intentions of leaving him behind one day , but the innocent little boy just tagged along and made Dae gyu over-exhausted himself till he alomost lost his senses.

           Finally, there was a chance to freedom and needless to say….Dae gyu ran for it, not minding even a bit with the rain pelting down on him. But their weird relationship had blossomed and somehow the dad-and-son bond linked them together again. Dae gyu returned only to find In Kwon laying restlessly waiting for his dear father back at the place they stayed. With the birth of the pregnant land lady’s baby, Dae Gyu finally realised some miracle that made him love his son even more.

            However, In Kwon was struck with a serious illness(which i thought might be cancer….aih*) and this made Dae gyu realise the importance of his son. He strived hard in order to save his son. (there was a scene where Dae gyu begged the director of a broadcast staion for help….which i don’t know whatever for and they were filmed in a short documentary or sumthing) . The last scene showed Dae Gyu still continuing their journey (probably in search of In Kwon’s mother) , pushing In kwon on a wheel chair by the road.

               There were a few memorable scenes and the ending theme was really heart touching. Having not understanding the whole movie, I included a cut from yes asia’s preview on this movie.

Director Oh Sang-hoon (The Greatest Expectation) helms the winning comedy Cracked Eggs and Noodles, a film about the humorous trials and tribulations of an unlikely father-son team! The film tells the story of Dae-Gyu (Im Chang-jeong), a frivolous twenty-six year old, who is startled to learn one fateful day that he is the father of a precocious seven-year old boy!

The reunion begins when the supposed son In-Kwon (Lee In-seong) appears at Dae-Gyu’s door out of the blue, refusing to leave until the reluctant and highly confused Dae-Gyu agrees to take him on an impromptu father-son road trip! What starts out as a rollicking comedy becomes a poignant family drama towards the end as the strange pair end up changing each other’s lives in ways they never expected. Hailed as one of South Korea’s top-notch comic performers, Im Chang-jeong was paired up with the young Lee In-seong, who beat over a thousand other children to snag the coveted lead role. Fans of Takeshi Kitano’s Kikijiro might find something to cheer about in the offbeat, father-son road movie, Cracked Eggs and Noodles!

       lookin at my badly scratched poor thumb, that little tingling pain just can’t stop reminding me of my extremely ‘wonderful’ experience yesterday…..an awfully long hour of scrubbing a burnt pot. Urgh!!

               Well, i guess i’d hav to put my bad-memoriness to blame. But ofcourse…the reason behind was being indulged in this new blog…with the birth of my first movie introduction on "jenny, Juno". Too exited to finish my ‘homework’, i resort to leaving the luo hanguo  to do its own work,after all ,who’d wanna sit at the empty kitchen alone for 15 minutes?? not that there’d be any outstanding acrobatic performances from those little dried fruits drowning in shallow water….

              And so u’d hav guessed it right……a seemingly long 15 minutes went on for another 30 minutes. Wala!!!!the bot got so burnt it was OMG!!!!!u could even find bits of charcoal in it!!!T-T,not much of an amazement…..emergency rescuers had gotta be on their way now…..no, on the spot now!!! I could almost hear the wailing n crying of the poor glass pot…..my heart went cold, sweat was trailing profusely down like waterfall (erm, exagerated),i gotta save it!!!!

              Not that burnt stuff wouldn’t let out those lung clogging gasses…..the whole room was  almost 80% oxygen free!!!!But still….rather than to die in the hands of mom n dad or even emptying my piggy bank for a brand new twinkling pot thats so clean it shines*……not to say that i hav any to empty anyway. (note that i’ve been jobless for 5 months with no allowance unless i needed it) Okay, enough with the crap…..i gotta save the pot!!!my god, is it still alive??? check:thump* thump* thump*, ok, no CPR needed. Beginning to feel like Cinderella in the cinders, i was armed with mittens, water, and a metal spoon. the pot was cooled…charcoal was saved (reminded me of BBQ-ing, lol) n the rest remained a mess….there was no way i could save the pot unless hermione was here…oh, god, help me please~~

              the first 15minutes was spent scrubbing with a scourer,and much to my dismay it didn’t work a bit!!!i was literally exhausted n my thumb was begging for mercy..i got so fed up i just ‘cooked’ the pot once again with water boiling inside while i get a break…not so much of a rest, since i was getting those clothes out to dry actually,part of my daily chore as a ‘part-time housewife’.

               As the water began releasing air bubbles from the mass of charcoal beneath, i knew that this must be it!!i’m saved!! With only one solution to scoop em’ with the spoon….(more to scratch i think). Muahahhahaha…it did work out , i’m saved!!!!….20 mins was spent doing so, it was hard work….and the last of bits was still reluctant to come off !!! sobz……but i ain’t gonna let it pull me down. Hahah, went for bout 2 hours more of drama that eased my gush of adrenalin.

              Feeling refreshed to continue my battle again, the rest was easy work. And heheh, feeling proud for having produced a ‘new’ pot, i was rewarded with another pot of satisfying luo hanguo…^^only to realise my thumbnail was half gone…………..@-@" 

  For the first time in my life hav i ever basically watched a 1 hour n 40 mins korean film without subtitles…..i guess i’ mus’ve been outa my mind then. I didn’t even go through the film summary n such…only half an hour after the show…haha, how foolish. But all in all it was a good watch n i managed to actually understang most of the show….thanks to my limited korean vocabulary..lol.

      Most of all, as u can see, our two main characters are so cute n chubby looking u just hav the urge to know wat ‘extraordinary’ went into their normal high-school life. Casted by 16 year old bubbly n japanese-like Park Min ji n 17 year old baby face Kim Hye Seong (aww…..hes a year younger, wat a pity..haha=P), they portray a pair of 15 year old students getting on with life as super young parents. Yes, 15!!!…….and we hav a mom n a dad fresh from the oven with just one home pregnancy test. God knows wat they did……(note:managed without subs is a really hard thing…. stares blankly at the screen n crack ur head out),but it seems that heheh…our young videogame expert (Juno)here has got his hands on sum sense triggering materials n the rest is just as it is. Being the idol of all the guys as the newage game hero of the times, Juno is ofcourse as u can figure out,a heartpounding image for the girls.

        Nothing beats the odds when jenny n juno fell in love at first sight on the 1st day of juno’s school-transfer. But little knew about their true love for each other….ending up with pregnant jenny beating up her schoolmate (=P). Everything went well…i guess u could say almost, except for ‘mrs’ jenny who couldn’t oblidge in her pang for more food….with poor juno pestering his parents for money n by sending newspapers every morning to satisfy jenny’s craving. (Erm, u might wonder how i got to figure the real story to tell u, but i did sum research on this movie after havng sum laughs,hohoho) Even often ‘ta-paoing’ fresh fruits in his school bag to ensure jenny had enough nutrients to spare their ‘gift of love’ in jenny, which i wonder why’d he hav to bring so many…..the fridge was almost going out of fruits with juno grabbing his hands on bananas, oranges…n lemon…lol.

      While they continue enjoying times dating out, n with no one noticing jenny’s super huge appettite ,chaos began as jenny’s sister bumped into her at the bathroom…..with jenny doing her pregnancy check routines.@.@ Fearing the worst, Juno n Jenny confessed about jenny’s pregnancy…..only to be separated by both parents…sobz…T-T. But, cheeky friends were in to sneak jenny out for a tantalising wedding at the school hall…making in for the most memorable sight of all.

      Things turned for the better……with Juno threatening jenny’s sis by making weird moves n faces during her date with her charming prince n even death by poisoning himself..(ofcourse..which was sum wheatgrass juice or sumthin’ he drank after that,haha) Heading off to ’sumwhere’ on train n by taxi, the painstaking lovers were finally reunited…by the road, followed with their child’s birth straight after.

             As alls well ends well, both got together it seems with the parents turning grandparents n mates fighting over to see the newborn. The show is quite interesting, seemingly that every crew in the film making got a chance at the screen, be it jenny’s mother,juno’s dad, the taxi drivers, the beauticians, the physical education teacher…..its a rare sight for movie producers. So, finally …i decided to get my hands on the subtitled version…if i could!!!but its quite a new movie..(releases on 20th Feb 2005 in korea). give it a try!^^

*pls note:for ppl aged 15 n above…it seems
