Kyoto Animation is one of my favourite Anime Production Teams. I was first total attracted by their famous anime 'The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi'. It's a totally interesting, funny, bizarre, (any good adjective that you can put) anime. The chemistry and events and the Japanese joke are so extremely well placed. Thanks to our National TV station for playing it even though it in the midnight. I was first pretty curious on why the TV wanted to play it in the midnight since the anime is actually suitable for age 0 to 1000 and it is so so so popular in Japan itself. After that, I found that, in Japan itself, the anime is rated as 'Late-Night-Anime' and played in the TV after midnight as well. Perhaps that's the reason why over here is playing it late night too, even though the anime was played at noon time during the school holiday (after more than half a year later).
Of course, anything that played at the late night wouldn't attract much audiences especially the kids might need to go to school early in the morning while people like us would need to go to work as well. Even though the anime was so popular, but pls don't misunderstanding by thinking that the Japanese doesn't sleep. In fact, the anime production was much more to DVD release purpose. However, since it is co-produced by their TV station, hence they insisted to play it even in the midnight. I really don't know the actual reason but it does happen and even happening now (on new anime).
However, that doesn't really affect the popularity of the anime itself since the DVD is released as well and also due to 1 big factor: Japanese world-uniquely OTAKU.

With a little help from the happy thoughts
Most of the time, when you're trying to stay in the happy-mood, there would always be something that come to annoy it. You might get a pretty sunny morning but a heavy traffic jam. You might come to the office with a smiley face but noone were looking at you. You might want to have a peaceful environment for 1 minute but some childish idiot might just keep on making noise saying that education doesn't mean success. You might have work late at home in order to show the result to your boss but got scolded for not achieving what he wanted in his mind.
All the above matters are such good challenges to test somebody's patience (at least for me).
If 1 person can still wear a smile on his face after all this happen at the same day, I want to be that person. Perhaps a little of happy thoughts can make that happen.
Note: All the above haven't happened to me at the SAME day yet. Hopefully that 'a little of happy thoughts' can help when it does.

The mini HIFI in office
We have about 2 mini HIFIs in the office. 1 in my boss room while another 1 in the hall (where all our cubicles located).
However, since the hall's mini HIFI is located behind the ladies-cubicle, hence, predictably it only plays sentimental songs. I'm 80% banned the sentimental songs due to the very same reason that people can give in the world, BORING. Surprisingly, I can almost sing along all the songs played. This is quite absurd and confusing cos' it makes me thinking if I actually like sentimental songs subconsciously...
Man can sometime be confused by what they thought they were.

My Name is Earl
I like this show a lot a lot. Karma and whatever, his brother is really funny even though he acted like he's not (But trust me, he is).
I'm kinda thinking whose name I'm gonna put in my list but, it seems to be quite long, most probably not as long as Earl's but, it's still long.
Things like this, the sudden awareness of karma and a list of person whom you might want to say sorry or help them back as return of the bad things done to them, this can really be serious matter, but people can just make it funny as well. I know a lot of people would want to make the list as well, but, how many would be brave and sincere enough to admit that most of the things they've done are wrong? Perhaps they would if they got hit by a car.
End of part I (Part II would only exist if I manage to make that list)

Re: Starting an online journal
I've just read a blog by a friend of mine. The first one was at June 2006 and the last one was at August 2006. Pretty obvious that she has spent 3 months on her blog before she quit.
The first post title is 'Starting an online journal'. Very typical, it's about her feeling for the beginning of her blog and so on. She even mentioned that she was inspired by a motivational CD saying that time is precious, appreciate it, blah blah blah. Hence, she would start jotting down everything about herself, so that she can reflect back on what herself was after 10 years later. The only thing is that, she can only reflect those 3 months matter that she left.
I didn't share the same thought like she has when I started blogging. I was first thinking to start an anime blog but only to find out that I'm so outdated comparing to other's a lot more interesting and up-to-date anime blog. Such a shame~~~
Hypocrite??? Not
This year is quite a new beginning of my life. Or at least a new chapter of my life. Before 2008's arriving. The 2007 has made a quite interesting part of my life (for this I'm sure).
I've changed my job, for bigger money, for new environment where noone knows me, where I think I should be able to change my attitude at least. I've always got problem with my temper. And I'm seriously think that this is a very huge problem cos' bad temper has cause me quite a lot of hassle before this.
I've always believe that one man can never changed how his mind think, how his attitude is and how his temper is. That's why I've never wanted to change myself until I've found out that I myself has becoming a very terrible man in my previous working environment. I think that's the biggest reason on why I wanted to change my job, in order for me to learn to be ... humble with myself.
So far, this year, I have never expressed my anger in front of my colleagues. I started to greet 'Good Morning' to all my colleagues with (very) big smile. If you ask me if I have totally changed my temper 100%, I would say no. In fact, what I did was just controlling myself a lot a lot more harder than before. I don't know if this is hypocrite. I really don't know. However, pls. don't tell me that everyone is not trying to control themselves about their emotion cos' otherwise, I would admit that I'm a hypocrite then.

Pain to Happiness
January 1994
Jack: At least you let me in. John was kind of pissed cos’ you insisted not to let him in yesterday.
Joe: … … I wasn’t ready yesterday.
Jack: Wasn’t ready?
Joe: … …
Jack: Sigh~~~ Forget it. How’s everything today? Going to school tomorrow?
Joe: … …
Jack: Everyone wanna see you. They want to know how you’re doing now.
Joe: School… … Sigh~~~ I don’t like it when they start to ask how have I been, where have I been.
Jack: Ha! That’s becos’ they care about you man, you should be happy for that.
Joe: … … But not she… …
Jack: … … I don’t know man, but she must be a very great person cos’ you’re still remembering her by this hour.
Joe: … … She’s the only best thing ever happen to me.
Jack: But not anymore…
Joe: … …
Jack: You have to stop lying on your bed all the time or staring at the sky for no reason.
Joe: I know! But I’m seriously in pain now! It’s very painful… …
Jack: Tell me, out of 10 times going out with her, how many time do you think that you were able to make her really happy? I mean “really” happy.
Joe: … … I don’t know… 5 times? ...
Jack: Great, now you finally know that you’re not good enough for her. At least that’s the reason why you’re in pain now. Next time, when you’re dating another girl, try to make 9 or 10.
Joe: … …
Jack: Come to school, you have a lotta frens waiting to ease your pain. At least that I can promise of. And I’m sure you’ll find your happiness sooner or later, cos’ the trick is that you have to be happy first.
Joe: … … Sigh~~~ why must pain’s the only way to happiness?
Jack: … …
Jack didn’t answer that question. 2 days later, Joe was seen in the school again. But Jack was still thinking in his heart, “why must pain’s the only way to happiness?”
(Joe is now having a relationship with the same girl again, after a year of separation. Perhaps he has already found out the meaning of the question he asked that day.)

Jack: I’ll go buy another one and I’ll make sure it’s English paper.
… …
Jack: There I know where it is already!!! Do you know how can we get there?
Ted: … … I’m not familiar with this country… But I don’t think it’s here.
Jack: Ha!!! Do you have an opinion?
Ted: … …
Jack: I’ll go ask that lady there.
~~~4:30pm~~~
Ted: YA!!!! Finally!!!
Jack: Haha, ya, such a long way here.
Ted: Trust me, I would have never thought that it would be this hard just for it!
Jack: Me either.
~~~5:30pm~~~
Announcement: Ladies & Gentlemen, … … technical problem … …
… …
Ted: Are you kidding me???
Jack: Come, there’s still ticket there, 9:30pm.
Ted: Are you serious?
Jack: Ya, just take the refund to buy the 9:30pm ticket.
Ted: Sigh~~~ What the heck. Let’s just do it.
~~~11:30pm~~~
Ted: At last, we finished what we suppose to do today. I almost wanted to give up. Cos’ I’m damn tired walking in the street just now, then, technical problem. It’s really dramatic man!
Jack: … … I don’t know, just now, all in my mind was I must get this done. If I give up, I’m afraid it would become a habit to me. And I prefer not to have it on me.
Ted: Ha… We’ve gotta be fast to get transport back. It’s already late at night, we might have to spend more money by getting a taxi.
Jack: … … I hope not.
Ted: Let’s just hope not then, haha.
Jack: Ha!
Ted: By the way, how was the movie?
Jack: Quentin Tarantino has always been my favourite!
That night, they managed to get back home by the cheapest public transport available: MRT + Bus.

Would You Like To Be In Control of Your Life?
A conversation between two men, happened early this year.
Steve: "I don't know, felt helpless. Don't really want to work there anymore."
Jack: "Why not?"
Steve: "Just don't feel good anymore. In fact, I've never felt good working there."
Jack: "Whatcha gonna do about that then?"
Steve: "Sigh~~~ I wish I know..."
Jack: "Don't you have a plan?"
Steve: "Felt helpless and hopeless. I'm feeling like I'm in a ship now, without a planned destination. I guess it's all depends on the wind to bring me where I should be."
Jack: "Hmm... ... depends to the fate?"
Steve: "Ya, that's the word, fate."
~~~~~~
Jack: "Have you watched the movie 'The Matrix' before? I'm pretty sure you did, didn't you?"
Steve: "Ya, of course I did."
Jack: "Great, there's one word which Neo told Morpheus, which is quite interesting."
Steve: "Hmm? What's that?"
Jack: "Morpheus asked Neo, if Neo believe in fate..."
Jack: "Neo said No."
Jack: "Morpheus asked 'Why?'"
Jack: "Neo said 'Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.'"
Steve: "... ... ... ..."
Jack: "So, would you like control of your life?"
Steve: "... ... ... ..."
Jack can't really remember Steve's answer, but he thinks Steve replied 'Yes'... ...
Today, Steve's still working in the same company. But both them are still frens.
