Desktop Showcase 2

Dug around and found some new materials to make new wallpapers yesterday.

FIRSTLY, Shou Wallpaper ♥♥♥

Made this with much pain to my fingers. But damn he looks hot on my lappie's desktop. Matching grey/black colour and all XD.

NEXT,

RUKI!




Ruki Ruki, always the photogenic one.

I really really love his arrogant rock star poses when it comes to photos. Utterly confident without an act of modesty. Yum.

And this wallpaper's really special, you don't see this often.

*Continues to admire wallpaper*

WTF I HAVE FINALS NEXT WEDNESDAY.

*SLAPS SELF*

Yvonne..

Syyyiiitz

Got one message from PLin, which goes like this:

"Congratulations! Good news for all ACCA/CAT students,
FINAL EXAM have been cancelled in this semester.
To confirm, kindly log on to www.stopdreamingandstartstudy.com"

You know, I was about to yell "WHAT THE HELL?" with EXCITEMENT when I was about to read the third line.

I feel so cheated XD. Syyyyiiiiitz.

Some Thoughts

I realized I haven't been emo in here for quite some time already.

But anyway, it's 1:38am here now, a time for emo, sad feelings, and inspiration.

I realized that to some of you I'm a person who are more inclined to give up easily.

Well, let me confirm your perception, I am.

But I don't just give up for the sake of giving up.

I give up because I don't think it's right to go against the natural flow.

I'm those who support the whole fate theory, "going along with the flow", and all the other blah blah blahs.

Those may be blah blah blahs, but I believe in it.

If it's meant to be yours then it will be yours.

Even if you go against the flow and make it yours, eventually something will happen to MAKE you hand it back in, or to exchange what you've forced to be yours with another possession of the same value.

I know, sometimes when we really want something we should really go for it, but this rule doesn't apply to all things.

But I do believe that, one day when you fall to the bottom of the pit, what you need to do, is get yourself a hot chocolate, watch a lil bit of TV, and suddenly things will start to brighten up again.

Giving ups happens all the time, whether if you're aware of it or not.

In my opinion, this complies with one of the most famous law in the world, "for every action there must be a reaction."

When you gain something, there must be something else you're losing, whether you can register the loss or not.

It may not be something as obvious as buying a shirt, where you lose your money to gain a new shirt.

Most of the time we do not know what we're losing when we gain something new.

This may sound ugly but,

I gained a new close friend when I lost my grandpa;

I gained a lesson when I lost my opportunity;

I gained freedom when I lost the warmth of love.

I'm usually aware of the things I gained when I lost something significant.

The gain and loss may not be directly or even related at all. But when the pattern starts to happen in a rather significant frequency, you'll notice it.

Well, don't take what I said seriously anyway, it's just my opinion that's all.

But sometimes I really hope that I have the guts to make some huge changes without any concern about what kind of losses that may comes along. But usually it's the potential losses that hold us back isn't it?

Betting with the god of fate can be the most perilous thing ever.

It may be a selfish thing to do as well, placing other factors such as your friends and family on the poker table as chips.

Dare to bet?

Yvonne..

Die Hard

I'm a die-hard fan of Sony Ericsson mobiles.

Nothing special. I just feel the sudden need to say it XD.

In case you're wondering, my first mobile's T610 (bought Jan 2005), the second, which I'm using now (bought Jan 2007), W700i.

And am I proud to add that 80% (estimation) of my classmates are using Sony Ericsson phones.

Which sums up to 82% (estimation) of my friends who are using SE phones.

That tells you something doesn't it? ;)

And besides, my cousin sister, who used to be a reluctant Nokia die-hard supporter for about 5 years, crossed over to the Sony Ericsson's side this year.

She was so embarrassed when I "caught" her using her new SE phone a few days ago, cuz we used to fight over which brand is better, SE or Nokia, almost everytime XD.

Proud user of SE,
Yvonne XD..

The Resemblance XD

I've never really try this before, since I'm not that much of a peanut butter fan (I wonder why?).

But one day I would like to try it ^_^.




And...it reminds me of Lei Ying's jacket as well XDXDXD *Runs*

(I hope she didn't read this post xP)

Yvonne..

Irresistable

Some people might not like this, but I love it a LOT.

I don't like cheesy wedges before this year for some unknown reason to me.

Anyway the point is, I *heart* it now. The CHEESE sauce's just too tempting for me xP.

Yvonne..

Drain Bamaged

If you don't think you can stand it, never ever watch Hanazakari no Kimitachi e.

The Japanese version.

Hiro. Toma. SHIROTA YU. *Nosebleed* XDXDXDXD

But I'm not that keen on Shun Oguri though. xP

NEW TARGET OF OBSESSION: SHIROTA YU. Nyahaahaaahaaa~~~

This is totally love at first sight for me XDXDXD.

For Share

For some reason I really really love songs with damn good lyrics and simple tunes (but that's not saying that I'm giving up rock lol). Even piano solo and smooth vocal can create a song so soothing it could almost heal any wounds you have.

by 奥華子 (Hanako Oku)


グランド駆けてく　あなたの背中は
空に浮んだ　雲よりも自由で
ノートに並んだ　四角い文字さえ
全てを照らす光に見えた

好きと言う気持ちがわからなくて
二度とは戻らない　この時間が
その意味をあたしに教えてくれた

あなたと過ごした日々を　この胸に焼き付けよう
思いださなくても　大丈夫なように
いつか他の誰を好きになったとしても
あなたはずっと
特別で　大切で
またこの季節が巡ってく

初めて二人で　話した放課後
誰も知らない笑顔探していた
遠くであなたのはしゃいでる声に
なぜだか胸が痛くなったの
変わって行く事を　怖がってたの
ずっと友達のまま　いれる気がした
終わってくものなどないと思った

果てしない時の中で　あなたと出会えた事が
何よりもあたしを強くしてくれたね
夢中で駆ける明日にたどり着いたとしても
あなたはずっと
特別で　大切で
またこの季節がやって来る

いつまでも忘れないと　あなたが言ってくれた夏
時が流れ　今ごろあたしは　涙がこぼれて来た

あなたと過ごした日々を　この胸に焼き付けよう
思いださなくても　大丈夫なように
いつか他の誰を好きになったとしても
あなたはずっと
特別で　大切で
またこの季節が巡ってく


English Translation

You were running on the ground and your steps were
Quicker than the clouds in the sky
Even the childish letters you write in your notebook
Are the light that envelops everything

I couldn't understand the feeling of love,
But this time which may never return
Taught me the meaning

The days I spent with you are in my heart
So it's okay even if the memories fade
Though someday I may fall in love with someone else
You will always be special and precious to me
Even as the seasons change

When the two of us first spoke to each other
I searched for the smile you never showed anyone
You talked with a distant voice
I wonder why my heart hurt then

I was afraid of changing
I had the feeling which we could be friends
I never thought the end would come

That I met you in the vastness of time
Taught me to be strong more than anything else
Even as I run to the future
You will be always be special and precious to me
As the seasons change again

You told me you would never forget that summer
Time passes and now my tears are spilling

The days I spent with you are in my heart
So it's okay even if the memories fade
Though someday I may fall in love with someone else
You will always be special and precious to me
Even as the seasons change.

It's the ending theme song of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" aka "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo", which by the way, is an EXCELLENT anime movie.

P.S. The bold part of the lyric is touching.

YAY! YAY!

This year's comic fiesta's going to be near my college!!!!!!!

OMG YES!~

How come it's always so convenient for me to go???

Is this, FATE, or something??!

LOL.

I'm so excited.

I don't think I can sleep tonight.

(Duh. I can very well sleep tonight >.>)

But my point is, they always set up CF where I can always go to!

Someone must like me in the CF committee.

WAHAAHAA just kidding.

But 5 bucks higher than last year?

*Pouts*

Oh nvm, anything for the love of my animes.

I miss animes.

Sutpid Rurouni Kenshin, I have to finish you off no matter whut.

Jya-na minna-san! Mata ne!

Yvonne..

Jog

The other day I went for a jog in the park, and saw this scenery.

I'd never thought that there's a scene so beautiful near my place.

Am I blind or what?

Or am I just getting a lil' bit patriotic?

(And btw this is taken by my so-called-lousy 2MP camera phone, way to go, camera phone! XD)

Yvonne..

Another One

I don't know about you, but it looks like "OMG" to me.

XD~

Yvonne..

I Nearly Thought...

Read properly dude. It's MOTHER trUCKER. XDXDXD.

Well, luckily I took another look before I yell to the whole world that they're allowing foul languages in newspaper ads. XD.

But still. What a wise choice of words XD.

Yvonne..

One of the Reason...

...that I love J-Rock so much is that I can drown myself in it.

Yvonne..

New Level

You know, I love food and all, but I've never really thought that I could ever have had the chance to taste truly authentic Italian cuisine in a restaurant which is participating in the Gourmet Festival 2008 *hyperventilate*.

And to have my meal being prepared by a world-renowned chef, Chef Daniel Evangelista, sparked me off in ways that I couldn't even expect *further hyperventilate*.

The very thought of "world class dining experience" (as suggested in the festival's website)! The thrill! The excitement! The obsession!!

I just had the most fabulous lunch in Villa Danieli@Imperial the other day.

And I really couldn't use any other words except Bravo!

Why not let the pictures do the talking, because apparently my mind goes electrifyingly blank every time as I refresh my memory of the fine dining experience XD.

Villa Danieli.

The main entrance to the restaurant.

I *HEART* this shot a lot. I never knew that my
2.0MP lousy phone camera could do such a good job XD.

The view I got when I tried to look to my left.
Breathtaking.

I must add, this is a really good place for couples.

The sub-entrance.

Italian bread with sun-dried tomatoes and other magic within.
The inside was chewy and tasted slightly like garlic bread
and the outside was surprisingly crunchy and warm.

NO, that's absolutely NOT coffee!!
It's thick mushroom soup.
OMG the mushroom soup was excellent,
full of bits and pieces of mushrooms
and the aroma was amazingly rich.

Pizza Fra Diavolo
Pizza with sliced beef, rocket salad and sliced tomatoes
The salad reminds me of the arugula salad
I had in TGI Fridays the other day.
The flavour of this pizza was really unique cuz you don't often find
fresh uncooked ingredients (the salad and the tomato slices)
on top of a crunchy slice of pizza.
I totally adore the thinness of the beef slices XD.

Pizza Mediterranean
As the name suggested, the picture presents assorted seafood pizza.
Thin-crust with oozing cheese and flavourful seafood,
this is more common as compared to the
Pizza Fra Diavolo we had earlier. But it's still great ^^.

Risotto ai frutti di mare
Classic Italian rice with assorted seafood
My pick for lunch.
This is the first (and also probably the best) risotto I've ever had.
Finally my wish was fulfilled: I've been wondering how risotto
tastes like ever since I knew of its existence from TV.
Btw, sorry for the bad presentation, I just had to taste it
before I snap a picture of it. It's that good. XD

Last but not least,
Fettuccine con gamberi, calamari e pomodorini secchi
Homemade fettucine with prawns, calamari
and sun-dried tomato
I'm not exactly a big fan of fettuccine,
since I'm more of a die hard fan for lasagna and spaghetti,
but I'll definitely make an exception for this particular fettuccine
cuz every bite was as tasty as the previous one, seriously.

Besides, it seems like Italians love tomatoes a lot. Not that I mind though ^_^.

And towards the end of our meal we actually met Chef Daniel Evangelista in person!! He came by to ask my dad how was the meal and all, but that time I didn't realize his identity and try to act as nonchalant as possible XD.

I will cherish my first formal epicurean experience in my mind forever. XDXDXD~~

P.S. Perhaps food critic's my true job? xD

Yvonne..

A Place Called Here

Finished another book by Cecilia Ahern.

I think I'm becoming a big fan of hers XD.



The reason I love her books so much is that I feel connected to what she wrote, nearly all the time.

Maybe this is how her magic works through to us the readers.

An excerpt from the book,

"Sometimes, people can go missing right before our very eyes. Sometimes, people discover you, even though they've been looking at you the entire time. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves when we're not paying enough attention...

...We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we lean that it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. Sometimes we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our own way out. But regardless, always, we are found."

I feel like asking her, so how about lost love? How does it looks like in Here?

Although Here seems peaceful and relaxed, but for some reason I fear it more than death itself.

Yvonne..

Triple Discovery ♥~

The KAY's out and about again!!

However for this time, we ditched all the usual venues and went for Pavilion instead.

We watched this ---




And it was absolutely most definitely hilarious. I *heart* the penguins. Especially the "Controls! Checked. Panels! Checked. MUSIC! *Flips on music*" part. Boy I'm really a fan of the penguins XD. King Julien's irritatingly funny as usual, but somehow the main characters didn't make me laugh as hard as the sides. But Alex, Gloria, Marty and Melman do have some developments in this sequel. Overall, not bad! ^o^~

After the movies we went for our lunch in Pasta Mania. The service was good. However the food was a bit lacking in the taste department. Kim ordered the Meatball Spaghetti, Agnes had the Marinara Spaghetti, while I went for the Beef Lasagna. The beef lasagna was a bit too heavy in flavour and this overshadowed the mince beef's original taste. But the meatball was pretty good, tender and meat-y, the way I like it XD.

Meatball Spaghetti.

Beef Lasagna.

Marinara Spaghetti.

After the meal I think I sort of dragged that two along with me to walk around in the mall for some window shopping XD. They seriously need some exercise XDXD. And of course me too XDXD. Don't blame me for the aching feet gals, at least you got to burn off some fat you've just consumed earlier XDXDXDXDXD.

After that of course we hit Starbucks for tea-time. Also because I couldn't wait to try the new Dark Cherry Mocha Frappuccino which is the featured drink in conjunction with the coming Christmas (☆o☆).

Dark Cherry Mocha Frappuccino ♥~

The largest discovery from this outing is CHEESE CUPCAKES.

OMG how come I wasn't informed of the existence of such heavenly dessert on earth before???

And it's awesomely divine!!

Thank goodness I chose this over donuts and creampuffs!

Get lost J.Co! Get lost Big Apple! I'm totally in love with CHEESE CUPCAKES!!

I bought half a dozen of these (from The Loaf@Pavilion). And all of them were fabulous.
d(≧∀≦)b ~~

Chocolate and Peach~

Coffee and Green Tea~

Chocolate and Strawberry~

Please don't lick your screen XD~

Oh my love~

I root for Chocolate and Strawberry. The Green Tea was not so good though =(
Perhaps I should get the Blueberry next time ^o^~

Cheese cupcakes!! My new love (♥o♥)~~

P.S. Thanks gals for the enjoyable outing! I look forward to the buffet next time! XDXD

Yvonne..

On The Way 1

These days I realized that I took an interest to observe peculiar objects around me which I don't see very often.

This totally reminds me of those dogs featured in comics and movies.
("That's right, doggie, keep waggin' yer' tail and you'll find yer way 'ome XD")

"MASSAGE GALAXY FOR PAIN"
First of all, how the heck can you massage the GALAXY??
Secondly, why would you wanna massage whatever-it-is for PAIN?
Jeez. LOL.

Hm, this is fun indeed. I'll keep an eye for cute peculiar objects and post it here from now on. XDXD.

Yvonne..

Yes, Uber Gross XD

The presentation of the fruit Papaya with the creativity of Yours Truly XD.

According to my mom and bro, they were so grossed out that they can't even bring themselves to swallow it. LOL.

And yes I do admit that they resemble pig's food in a way. XD.

But it's so sweet!

And of course I gorged them all down.

XDXDXD

Yvonne..

Kyaaaaa~~

I.

FINISHED.

HANA YORI DANGO 1 & 2.

IN A WEEK,

I THINK.

XD.

Calm down, I know, I know, so unlike me to go and watch such a OOZINGLY CHEESY love drama, right??

(But I just can't help it, seeing as I've completed watching the Taiwan's version Meteor Garden as well XDXDXD. )

Anyway, I think that the drama was sort of okay~~

But I still think Taiwan's version was better, story-line wise.

If you say Domyouji/Dao Ming Si, JUN MATSUMOTO IS STILL THE BEST!!

Jeezus, I wonder who can EVER resist his CUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTEEEEEEEE smile?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!


NOW, TELL ME, HOW CAN ANY GIRL ESCAPE FROM HIS EVIL SMILE OF CURSE??

I can't. What a sad case am I.

I should be the one who's resisting his CUTE smile, and ignore his presence throughout the entire show.

But no, I got caught into the magic of his CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTEEEEE smile like every other normal girl out there.

JEEEZ.

Anyway, the ending of Hana Yori Dango 2 SUCKS!

I totally *heart* the excruciating painful sweet love between that two! (<--- Sadist.)

Why did the thing suddenly ends with such smoothness?!?!?!?!

Totally sucks!

Oh well, never mind. Because MatsuJun's smile in it wins everything else XDXDXD.

Okay, I need to get a grip on myself.

I'M SO TOTALLY GOING TO WATCH HYD THE MOVIE!!

ANYTHING FOR MATSUJUN'S CUUUUUUUTTTEEEEEEEEE SMILE!

*Breathe in...breathe out...*

Okay, outburst over.

Thanks for the attention.

Mwahaahaaa~~

Unique Flavor of Bittersweet

I came across this song one of these days.. The bitter but sweet feeling within the lyric touched me in a way, somehow.

The Flavor of Life

by 宇多田ヒカル (Utada Hikaru)

※
ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life.
The flavor of life.
※

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の日を夢見てる
青いフルーツ

あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいのなんのってbaby

(※くり返し)

甘いだけの誘い文句
味っけの無いトーク
そんなものには興味をそそられない

思い通りにいかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって

どうしたの?と急に聞かれると
ううん、なんでもない
さようならの後に消える笑顔
私らしくない

信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだかせつない
「愛してるよ」よりも
「大好き」の方が
君らしいんじゃない?
The flavor of life

忘れかけていた人の香りを
突然思い出す頃
降りつもる雪の白さをもっと
素直に喜びたいよ

ダイアモンドよりもやわらかくて
あたたかな未来
手にしたいよ
限りある時間を
君と過ごしたい

(※くり返し)


English Translation

※
When you say thank you to me,
for some reason, it hurts;
like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone, even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life.
The flavor of life.
※

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
like an unripe fruit dreaming about the day of harvest.
Being unable to just move one more step forward
is what's causing this frustration, baby.

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason, it hurts;
like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone, even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life.
The flavor of life.

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations,
it sparks no interest in me.
Even when things do not go the way you want,
it doesn't mean you've thrown your life away.

When asked, "What's wrong?"
I answer, "It's nothing."
The smile that disappears after goodbye,
it's unlike me.

The more I wish to believe in you,
for some reason, it hurts even more.
"I like you a lot," instead of "I love you," sounds more like you.
The flavor of life.

The period when you suddenly remember
the scent of someone you had almost forgotten.
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish
the white purity of the falling snow more.

A future, tender and warmer than a diamond,
I want to grasp it.
In this limited time we have,
I want to spend it with you.

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason, it hurts;
like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone, even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life.
The flavor of life.

I love it from the very first line. Now is this why I love bittersweet chocolate so much?
