    괴물


    Watched it on TV on Sunday when it was broadcasted~~

    Better than I expected, though still slightly boring (no horror, not very exciting)
    But it was very enlightening. I learnt alot about Korea!! - society, culture, politics.

    庸人自扰
    00.庸人自扰



    小虎队里mayu最爱的歌。
    今天终于看了这个MV,真的是很可爱很有意义的一个MV啊。

    01.
    miraculously, mayu got top in class for the 就职常识测验 and 20th in school.

    mayu was like O_o at the teacher when he came forward to tell mayu about it because mayu obviously had no 常識 to begin with, especially the "Japanese 常識".

    Still, apparently i scored really high for the math(40/50, the 全国平均点 is a horrifying 19.2) and eng (30/40, 全国平均点 is only 19.1) sections, so though my 时事常识(6/40) and 文字和语言(17/40) failed like dunnoewat, i still managed to get a high score overall. and somehow, i managed to get a higher than average score for 業界常識 (14/20) from guessing the answers.

    卡卡卡卡,我可以自称天才吗?*被踢飞*

    well, of course, it's obviously not mayu being smart or anything, it's simply the level of people around mayu...... *am i being bad to put it this way?*

    still, big boost to my wavering confidence of getting a job in Japan. At least i know i'm not that stupid.

    02.
    An update on the people around me.

    馬鹿男 is apparently leaving Japan, according to fumie. He had fumie pass me the book i lent to him previously.
    Seems like he quit school and will be flying back to China this Saturday.

    Oh well... feel slightly sad because afterall we had some fun times together too until i gave up taking shit from him. But still, this place is not for him. He probably should have never came here in the first place.

    Regarding 暗い男, named by miyabi, he hasn't come to school for probably a month? I suspect he has quit school already since the teachers no longer take his attendance.

    ...

    Just what is wrong with guys around mayu? orz

    yumiko has gone home last week... not sure why but hopefully she would be back next semester... *prays*

    Onto happier news, according to one of the teachers, a taiwan girl has applied for 情報処理科, which means she would most likely be joining our school next year. Hopefully she's a nice girl. ^^

    03.
    and the snow and Christmas season has finally arrived~~

    Christmas special dinner menu today in dorm that included lots of fries, fried chicken, yakisoba, and a huge slice of chocolate cake!!! XD *sadly, forgot to bring camera down to take photo of the wonderful meal*

    anyway, putting up photos here for the last of this winter season here before i go home~~


    the biggest rainbow i've ever seen!!! taken two weeks ago. XD


    one end goes to the mountain


    the other end in the sea


    one of the mornings again where the snow melted after the sun rose.


    looking down from my dorm window


    the windows panes of our school decorated with xmas decos. There are actually Xmas trees in our school too. ^^


    Sun rise


    The last of the non-snowy day. Though it looks bright and warm, it's actually freezing out there. mayu froze her ears off on her 20 minutes walk to the supermarket (and another 20mins back) because she forgot to bring her ear muffs. orz



    this 小甜甜 picture hanging in our photoshop classroom is actually handdrawn by 五十嵐優美子 herself when she came to visit our school some years ago. (Because she is from Hokkaido!!) Hope she comes again!!


    Photo of the night view~~~ not really, meant to take the photo of a house with very beautiful xmas decorations.


    Hopefully before i go back i will take a walk to the conbini again so i can take a photo up close (and pray the family turned on the lights)


    and finally the snowy season has arrived in horobetsu where the it snowed lightly consecutively for 3 days and the snow did not melt!!!

    in other words, 3 days of negative temperature... *huddles beside heater*


    soft soft snow on the window sill


    Back at the dorm where the view outside is blue!!! (not photoshopped!!)

    04.
    我的69绘应该是不可能完成的了。。。 而且老实说也已经没有去记录了。maya做出来,用照片和拼得那些东动算不算绘啊?或许应该把69绘改成69作品或什么的。

    不管怎么样,之前画到一半的水调歌头还没有弄完。
    随便在学校画了这个。原本是彩色的,后来还是觉得我对配色实在没有什么才能,所以转位黑白图了。

    *叹*

    我的世界就是灰色的吗?

    祝我一路顺风
    00.
    Flying back this Sunday and mayu haven't start packing at all yet!!!! (though all omiyage has been prepared)

    Just thinking about the flight has already tired mayu out... orz

    basically the plan is:

    20th Dec (Sunday)
    6am: wake up, possibly bath, eat breakfast that mayu would buy on Friday night since breakfasts in dorm on sundays starts from 8am.
    6.45: Take cab to the bus stop (have to call cab the night befre) to take the bus to Chitose Airport. The busstop is about 25 minutes walk from the dorm, but mayu has no plan of walking in the snow/cold/dark lugging her luggage bag all the way to the the bus stop.
    7.15: bus should arrive around this time, but knowing the area, it would most likely come 10 minutes late
    9 plus: reach Chitose Airport. Since sonia's flight to tokyo is at 11, will be seeing her off first before waiting to check in myself.
    11.30: check in, because flight is at 1pm. (whcih means i'll prob need to get a bento or something to eat before gettng onto the flight)
    1.30: flight takes off from hokkaido to shanghai
    4 plus : arrive in Shanghai. go through immigration customs, leave arrival hall, get into departure hall, go through immigration customs again. Will have to get water and also look for something edible that will last me to 11 plus. Will prob be playing with my lappie for 5 hours plus. And pray no stupid problems here.
    11 plus: flight takes off from shanghai.

    21 dec (monday)
    5am plus: Finally touch down Singapore.
    6 or 7 am: Possibly playing with Bobby or Wii Fit. XD

    And so to my utter shock, i discovered that i will not be able to bath for a while 24 hours!!!! orz
    Forunately, it's winter.

    *sigh*
    I want to go home, but the journey is gonna kill mayu..... esp the wait at Shanghai.
    一人之旅是很寂寞的。

    01.
    一句一路顺风,结果mayu在youtube上找了吴奇隆的「祝你一路顺风」,然后听着听着,就找到了他和赵薇一起演的「侠女闯天关」。

    一副书生装扮背后其实是个冷血杀手,一个男扮女装不男不女的小燕子,配在一起很可爱,而且还多出一个翘宫二皇子,江湖,武林,宫廷,够mayu高兴的了。

    吴奇隆,你为什么这么的帅阿啊啊啊啊??(在mayu进入Gackt的世界之前,这台湾霹雳虎可是mayu的本命啊。第一个买的录音带专辑其实是他的。)

    然后,不管是萧十一郎还是水若寒,都让mayu看得要流口水。

    搞笑的剧情也让mayu要喷饭了。。。。 小龙小幅,拜托你们不要再救水若寒了,什么死马当活马医,人家本来好好地都要被你们医死了。。。orz

    总共30集,现在在youtube上看到第7集。回家之前不知道看得完吗?

    不过嘛,剧情倒是漏洞百出,很多细节没有交代清楚,然后几乎所有人除了二皇子朱玉龙,都又笨又瞎看得我都要吐血了。不过基本上不要去想的太深入就好了,看戏嘛~

    02.
    currently working on this pic now.It is not done yet obviously because this guy has no eyes yet. and the background is not complete.


    But no matter what pics i draw, i always feel that they lack something. the lack of cuteness, or the lack of coolness?

    Maybe it's just the style?

    *sigh*

    Just what is it that i lack?

    It's basically the same as my maya works, i can confidently self-proclaim that i made the second best room in my class, but i'm only second best. Why? Because my room lacks something, which i think is something akin to warmth and humanity. When i compare my room to a few classmates's, i feel like dumping mine and going into some other rooms, because they look livable. They have warmth and humanity in their rooms.

    Maybe our rooms are a mirror of what we are inside.

    My room is cold and blue, with the walls blue,the lights blue with only a few beams of warmed orange lights. The room has some ornaments, vases, deco plates, dvds, stuff like that, but nothing homely, thus earning the comment that it looks like a hotel or a bar. The most significant thing in it is the huge window that covers an entire wall and it stares out into a cold open city.

    The maya genius's room is warm, enclosed with shelves and cupboards. Main colors are warm yellow and orange lights, white and warm brown wallpapers. It has many homely stuff- plates, utensils, a kitchen, photos of puppies and dogs. It has no windows to the outside world.

    So what is it that i lack? I know there is something but i have no idea what it is and the frustration is killing mayu.

    maybe i'm just getting anxious because the teachers keep asking us to start preparing our port folios and mayu has nothing much to put in. I mean, i have lots of pics on my webbie, but none seem really good enough. Moreover, the majority are fanart, do they actually count as works suitable for port folios?

    and another question that has been bugging mayu.

    Do i really want to work in Japan? Can i actually get a job here that requires my skills. And what exactly are my skills here?

    As long as i lack that one thing which i cannot even pin point, i don't think i can ever be my best.

    maybe i'm comparing myself to the best guy in class, but when i look at his modeling skills i just want to hide back into my little cave.

    sigh..... this is probably some sort of anxiety disorder from the excitement and anxiety over flying home this weekend.

    天葬


    2003年十二月,去九寨沟旅行,住在海子和高山上的大多数是藏族和姜族人。记得每次风吹都听到得到转经纶在响,还有在空中飘的白布,当时除了觉得很冷,就是觉得自己好像到了另一个很平静很平静的自然世界。

    然后,当时导游小姐跟我们介绍了许多藏族人的习俗以及传统。其中一个让mayu忘不了的就是藏族人(以及蒙古人)的天葬。

    所谓天葬,简单地就是把死者的尸体让秃鹫吃掉。

    以下来自wikipedia.

    藏族的喪葬方式有五種,即天葬、水葬、火葬、土葬和塔葬。最常見的是天葬,藏語稱為“杜垂傑哇”,意為“送屍到葬場”,或稱“恰多”,意思是“餵老鷹”。藏族天葬是自然形成的,習俗已有上千年的歷史,西藏位處數千高尺的高原地帶,地質堅硬,不適合土葬。藏人死亡後,用白布將屍體包裹,停屍一日至數日,請喇嘛唸經超渡,擇定日期送葬,這一期間家門口懸掛一個紅色陶土罐,土罐內放進食物,供死者的靈魂使用。出殯當天,家屬將屍體送往天葬台,背屍人和送葬者均不得回頭看,並且在路上把紅陶罐在路上摔破,後交給天葬師處理,家人不得跟到天葬台。

    天葬師將屍體放在天葬台上,司葬者燒起火堆,燃起「桑」煙,遠處的禿鷹見到濃煙會自主性的飛過來,聚集於附近的山巒,等待啄食。天葬師將遺體骨肉剝離,骨頭用石頭砸碎,將屍體分解給禿鷹啄食,屍骨以食盡為吉祥,若有殘餘,則將其焚化。喇嘛教認為天葬符合釋迦牟尼傳記中所說的“捨身救虎”精神,死者的靈魂也可以隨鷹昇天。


    这里虽然没有提到,但尸体越快被吃完,就代表说那个人越纯洁。所以天葬师都会吧遗体用刀割开,好吸引多一些秃鹰或野狗来吃。

    很残忍吗?mayu倒不觉得。因为这是他们的信仰,死者的灵魂可以随鹰升天,而且以自己的身体偎抱了这些秃鹰,还算是救了其他原本会成为秃鹰食物的动物们。

    所以虽然残酷,但并不残忍。

    So why the sudden thought of the sky burial? Because mayu received an email regarding how brutal and cruel "heaven burial" is. (btw, the accurate name is sky burial though heaven burial sounds heavenly).

    And mayu just has to point out that she agrees that yes, sky burial might be brutal, but cruel? That's really a subjective matter that one should consider "the Others" culture and belief before judging that sky burial is more cruel than having your dead family members and friends getting eaten by maggots or burnt into carbon dioxide.

    Besides, that email gave no information about sky burial, who performs it, how it is performed, why such burial methods, and it has been circulating around simply with the comments that oh how cruel heaven burial is! Maybe it's a JS aftermath that resulted in mayu being critical with such emails, but really, photos tell only one side of many stories. *take the example of the bonzai cat website that many people actually believed in =_=|||*

    For more information on Sky burial, check out this paper on The Open-air Sacrificial Burial of the Mongols or the internet's friendly wikipedia.

    「水调歌头」

    在帮学生找有趣的会话和诗词的时候,找到了让mayu一生难忘的「水调歌头-但愿人长久」。

    为什么会让mayu难忘呢,因为这是在mayu中三的时候中秋节晚上在学校和合唱团一起合唱的歌,歌词因此一生难忘。

    那么,合唱团时代的mayu唱了这么多首歌曲,为什么就这个特别难忘呢?

    一,那天晚上的表演是mayu唯一一次在妈和miya面前表演。在学校表演了很多次,但都只是给同校师生看,就只有那天中秋节表演时公开给家人们的。她们当时就坐在离我两米之处的椅子上看mayu表演,或许对她们来说不怎么样,但对mayu来说是个很特别的表演。

    二,小时候小学每年中秋,培群都会举办很热闹的中秋晚会,但后来小学翻新了后为了保护新校舍培群就再也没有什么举办中秋晚会了(至少没有再让我们玩蜡烛烧纸了,也没有户外卡拉ok比赛),然后进了中学中华也都没有举办中秋晚会。所以中三那年中华突然举办中秋晚会是在很难忘。热闹的礼堂,人山人海的食堂,安静的课室,偷玩蜡烛的同学们,那夜的气氛很有趣。

    三,当时指挥我们这首曲的指挥官并不是我们的正式指挥官,正式指挥官当时为了国外的表演无法指挥我们所以这首「但愿人长久」是由另一位临时指挥官代劳。记得,这位指挥官人真的很好,也很我们的合唱团比较合得来吧。当那表演结束之后她就离开了。TwT 如果可以,还真是宁愿她当我们的指挥官。

    然后,过了那们多年,重看歌词,帮学生找翻译的时候,mayu才发现自己从来没有了解过这水调歌头的意思。

    「水调歌头」

    作 者: 苏 轼(苏东波)
    丙辰中秋,欢饮达旦,大醉,作此篇,兼怀子由。

    明月几时有,把酒问青天。

    不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年?

    我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,

    高处不胜寒。

    起舞弄清影,何似在人间!

    转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。

    不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?

    人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,

    此事古难全。

    但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。

    丙辰年(中国宋代、紀元1076年)的中秋节,苏东坡饮酒通宵达旦,大醉,作此篇,怀念自己几年无法见面的弟弟苏辙。当时的苏东坡因为政治上的问题被贬去很远的地方,然后中秋节无法和家人团圆,所以写了这首诗。

    日文翻译

    英文翻译

    话说回来,哪个读高级华语或修读LEP的人来告诉我诗人平时是怎么养护自己的阿?他们有工作的吗?
    学生问了我答不出来啊。诗人不都是穷光蛋不然就是有钱人不用做工的吗?O_o

    Zombies and Vampires


    Saw the trailer on yahoo recommendation and the trailer looked funny so downloaded it.

    Story is simple. Zombies rule the world, the only 4 people who survived find each other in zombie land and hilarity ensues.

    Hmm.... i think the trailer pretty much exhausted all the funny parts, but it was entertaining for a mindlessly boring afternoon.

    Daybreakers

    And saw the trailer for this movie today on yahoo.

    The story:
    In 2019, a plague transforms the world's population into vampires. With fewer humans to provide blood, the vampires seek to farm the remaining humans and to find a way to continue their existence. A secret team of vampires uncover a way that would rescue the human race. At the same time, a group of surviving humans wish to repopulate the species and survive.

    It will be released in SG on 14th January!! (meaning mayu can watch it in SG)

    Anyway, what interested mayu was first, it's a vampire story, which mayu generally loves unless it involves teenage love angst and cheesy lines. *and thus mayu is totally not a twilight fan*

    Second, this story totally reminded mayu of I am Legend (the novel that the movie was based on). It could easily have become the aftermath of what happened in I am Legend (again, the novel, not the movie).

    Third, the main track used in the trailer is Running up that Hill by Placebo, which was featured at the end of the episode "Judas on a Pole" from Bones~~

    hopefully, it won't disappoint. ^^

    我爱金三顺


    2005年有名的韩国连续剧。因为之前miya和Ros大力推荐,终于看了。

    真的是。。。好久没有看这么有趣的爱情故事了。然后也发现原来自己好久好久没有现代看爱情剧了。

    羡慕金三顺。不是每个人都可以遇到那么坏又那么好的男人。脸长得帅。身材又好。笑起来又有酒窝,真的是可爱死了。不知道是哪一集我居然还真的看到流口水。。。orz *生平第一次看男人看到流口水,我是因为在这里没有男人看压抑太久吗?*

    然后这时候才发现之前公司里有个同事的身材和发型还蛮像玄真賢的。这样说我还蛮幸运的,居然还可以在人生中遇到一个完美的大帅哥,还拥有一年每天对着这个人养眼的时光。

    *叹*学校里怎么就没有这么帅,身材又好,笑起来有酒窝的男生阿?

    说一说剧情,是个充满喜怒哀乐的故事。29岁的金三顺是个被男朋友甩了胖嘟嘟的蛋糕师傅。失业的她幸运的被一间法国餐厅雇用,雇用他的社长是在她被男朋友甩的那天欺负了她一点的坏男孩玄真賢。两人在复杂的情况下成为了契约恋人。可是三顺却不知不觉地喜欢上了真賢,这时真賢离开了三年的女友突然回来。。。

    故事情节整体上虽然很戏剧化,但每一集三顺总会说一些很有意义的话。而且可能是因为太久没有看爱情剧了吧,总觉得这戏完全表现出了正在恋爱中的人啊,一群傻瓜,不知道自己到底爱谁,抱着放不开的回忆,因为无聊的自尊互相伤互相伤害,因此和一次次地失去机会。

    然后,OST也实在太棒了。我居然看到哭了。然后搞笑的部分也让我笑得敲桌子。。。

    啊啊啊,好想再看多一点这样的连续剧阿~~~

    Bobby chewing my gloves


    Mom uploaded this photo onto facebook weeks ago and it has been my desktop wallpaper since then.

    He's so cute like that, looking as if he has just been caught red-handed for chewing the gloves.

    Another 16 days to terrorizing my little puppy!!!
