I am back. With a bloody tag. (DGM143 Review)

Yes, I’m back.
With a review of DGM 143 (Finally). And a tag.

Replying to A Suspicious Man: Very pleased to meet you! Hahaha! Okay, I agree with you on the Shi Lau Min part 😉 Let’s hope DGM gets better and better 😀

To Sue: MERRY CHRISTMAS! My dear, please text me your mobile number again! T__T I just reformatted my damn phone and lost a lot of numbers (Crikeys). 😥 I forgot to save your new number! Please text me~! ;O;

DGM 143:
Hmmm… This time, there seems to be some progress.
The Generals reign victorious over the Akumas, and the siege apparently has been taken care of. Yet, Allen can’t help but feel a little The Generals are ordered to destroy the Egg, but apparently, the Lieutenant has something fishy planned with Inspector Link. Miranda is captured (NUUU) by Lulubell’s liquid form while the rest of the Generals are desperately trying to destroy the egg and save Miranda (or rather, more like Noise is trying to save her. Socalo just wants to have some bloody action) Johnny seems to have a little attachment on saving Tapp, but unfortunately, things won’t go his way… will it?
Let’s just wait for the next chapter (With hope, Katsura-sama doesn’t delay it)

Anyway, noting about my one week absence, I was in my hometown, now, very plump and happy =) I’ve had a good time there, so that is all there is to know.

And so, I have arrived today with a bloody tag.
And I am not going to tag anyone because… it is a waste of time.
BUT! I SPECIFICALLY! SPECIFICALLY! WANT TO TAG KERO AND WENJI!
For making me go through that tag. Nyeahahahaha.
:3 Don’t worry, my tag eez rather mild.

So, nyea. Thanks, Rie for ze tag. I will have your head for supper next week.

The Last List of 2007 Tag!!!
2007 ‘s 10 Most Influential People in Your Life
Rin says: HOMG. Must I REALLY make list for this?

1. KERO (To write the list of things … *trauma* Boddhasathva, RESPECT!)
2. Chris Wong (No one influences me more in college than Chris)
3. Nana Kitade *cries*
4. Bono (I don’t have to say why. You all already know why)
5. Yamashita Tomohisa aka Yamapi (He taught me the art of doing the emo-look)
6. Pinky Khoo (I have learned a lot and broadened my horizons a lot this year with her. Super thanks to my dear lecturer, who gave me this extra boost of confidence that I really needed in life =) Without you, 2007 won’t be the same)
7. Jon (… I don’t need to explain why either =P)
8. Hoshino Katsura (Because her ideas and writings are love to me)
9. Gary (Lecturer Gary has taught me a lot of things, and I appreciate him even more after Drama Class ended. Cheers!)
10. DEPAPEPE (Because they made me want to take up my acoustic guitar again)

2007’s 10 Events That You Think Are Important To You
Rin says: Wow…

1. Return to Alor Star
   This has been the most heart-wrenching, nerve-driving and agonizing trip of my life. But my heart feels much lighter, away from the world of technology and the world of materialistic desires. I spent a lot of quality time with my family at the place where everything all began, met a lot of people I have not seen in a long time and spiritually recharged. The world is indeed, a beautiful place.
2. Death of 3 Former Schoolmates
   Their recent deaths, Reshween, Easwari and a girl that I’m not very close with, has apparently shaken my grip on life, just as I was recovering from the loss of another. I realize how much it hurts to regret not being able to say anything to them before they go. Then again, Death is such an unpredictable character. God bless your souls. You will be truly missed by us all.
3. Yuu’s Birthday Commemoration
   On November, a group of friends gathered together to celebrate Yuu’s birthday online. This would be the 2nd birthday he isn’t here with us. To Aya, Yuu’s birthday means a lot to her. And so it does to the rest of us. It makes us appreciate the fact that our group is such a closely knitted team of people from different places, and because of one person, we’re even closer than we are today. Yuu, you are truly lucky, to have us loving you, and we are truly lucky to have had you love us.
4. Choir For Merdeka
   Those few days of training and meeting new people has brought me closer to a few people I never would have thought meeting in college, and has given me the chance to prove that I can live up to expectations… if given the chance to. To my wonderful choir group, I love you guys, loads =) To Neko-senpai, NYUU~!
5. Comic Fiesta (The Whole Trip There and Back)
   It was an event not to be forgotten. I made a lot of new friends, learned a lot of new things, reunited with former schoolmates and bonded even closer with my fellow Alices. This is one event I would never want to forget.
6. Gathering At My Place with my whole Klang Alices!
   It was short but sweet. A gathering with my beloved Alices, Peisan, Sue-Lyn and Soey, before Peis headed off to India. I was really, really glad that you guys came. And I was even much happier that I got to spend time with you all 🙂 …
   Next time, we’re meeting up at Peisan’s place. AND SHE HAS NO SAY IN THIS! XD
7. My Sister’s Wedding
   The busiest months of my life. I had to start preparations from January and the big rush was on August, but I’m glad it’s happened and that’s over with. A truly joyous occasion, in my opinion. May my sister and her husband live joyously from now on and forever. (‘Cause I’d murder you both if anything wrong happens XD)
8. Chen and Sathom’s Birthday
   Watching 300 at the cinema, as we all roared like the humans we are, and then, a night dinner at a restaurant for Chen (As we watched her miserably try to blow out candles that lighted itself over and over again XD), I think this was one of the most successful birthdays and an outing all of us spent together as a class. … *sniffs*
   
9. Stayover at Jon’s Place For Project
   GOD! That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about this. It was probably the biggest test in our group where some of us fell out, some of us grew closer, others remained stagnant. It was a test of mental, physical and emotional limits and I know that everyone who was ther, knew what happened that time. It was one full 2 weeks I’ll never forget, but it was also a one full 2 weeks of memories.
10. Thaipusam Steamboat at Chen’s
    Not everyone was there, but it was considerably one of the most memorable things in my life as we all sat round and started cooking our meals, and being very loud as well, rofl. It was a reunion not to be forgotten, so I think.

2007’s Best 10 Movies You’ve Watched
Rin says: This year… was an OKAY year for movies, so I think.

1. Transformers
   I admit. It was good. Enough said. Stop poking me! XD
2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
   Okay, so I dislike Harry and his little band of misfits, but I thought the movie was worth watching. I liked it even more than the book, and I even watched it twice (One with Dann, and another with my brother and father)
3. 300
   What can I say? I love scantily-clad men who loves the taste of blood! XD
4. The Golden Compass
   To heck with those who disliked this movie, I thought this was one of the more awesome movies with a lot of hidden messages laid within its storyline. Plus, the animals were charming, so shush =P (I have yet to read the book, so shh! XD)
5. Ocean’s 13
   I’m sorry, I have the hots for George Clooney and Matt Damon >_> Kidding. The movie was brilliant and I enjoyed the whole cleverly plotted scheme 🙂
6. The Bourne Ultimatum
   Okay, this was the best way to end all of the Bourne’s and one of the best Bourne films out of the 3. I was certainly pleased with how it turned out (And I admit, Matt Damon is awesome. Because I like him. There.)
7. Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age
   The First movie was awesome, but the 2nd one was great as well.
8. Ratatouille
   I swear to God, this animated movie was one of the best I’ve seen in my whole life.
9. The Simpson’s Movie
   This… is pure insanity.
10. Zodiac
    … This one… was really… really… creepy.

2008’s 10 Resolutions
Rin says: I think I’m going to skip on this one. ‘Cause every time I write a resolution, someone curses on it not to happen and it works. All the time! 😛
But nyea, for the sake of this tag, I’ll only wish for 5 things out of the 10.

1. I want to close up the gap between myself and the family. I feel that this gap has been opened for far too long and I don’t think it’s too late to start over.
2. I want to stay close to my Alices, be it the Klang ones or the Jakuns 🙂 You have been like family to me and I know a life-long relationship when I see one ;D Which is why I trust and treasure you guys more than anything else in the world.
3. I want to make this coming year a year that I can cherish even more than last year.
4. I want to give people more chances than they should have.
5. I WANT MORE SLEEP!! ARRGH!

I would like to write resolutions like ‘To be the next Prime Minister!’ or ‘Get married!’ or ‘End poverty’ but hahaha, I think I should curb my mind first and try to fix the things I have around me first than to fix things that are still too extravagant for me 🙂
There.
I can bet with you that #3, #4, and #5 would be very hard to accomplish 😛
As for #1, I’m already doing so, and things aren’t so bad now 🙂 Which I am glad of.
As for #2, … I don’t think I need to comment on that one. ALICE MEET-UP ON CNY! XD

And now, I would like to wish each and every one of you

A Happy New Year

Let’s let 2007 slip out quietly, and usher 2008 in, with much expectations.
Cheers.
