Paths

Reminiscing

There was this one day when me and Jin sat down and talked about our childhood memories about cartoons! The cartoons that we watched when we were kids. We looked back at plenty of cartoon shows and reminiscing the days when we were young. I think we have different taste in the sort of cartoons that we watched.



The earliest cartoon that I could remember watching was Road Runner, Bugs Bunny and lots more characters from Looney Tunes. I especially love the skunk character(forgot the name!!), really funny when he always mistaken the cat as a female skunk.


Speedy Gonzalez, the fastest mouse in all Mexico!



Woody Woodpecker! Always with that funny laugh and knocking down bad guys. I can still remember sitting down in front of my grandfather's very old tv and mesmerized by it! I was like. five or six that time, couldn't remember how old!



Kimba the White Lion, original name is Jungle Emperor. Didn't know that it was made in Japan by Osamu Tezuka when I was young. Only knew that it was just another cartoon shown on TV2. Always watched this after I came back from evening school. I was seven years old at that time!


Sesame Street. I love the classic sesame street where there were lots of colourful 2D animation. Really nice, and with those funny and playful songs to listen to.


Barney, the purple dinosaur. It was when I was around age 10 or 11, when all my classmates will talk and sing the songs which were in the show. I wasn't a great fan of Barney but I still watched them. It still is entertainment, so its a ok show for me. After awhile, the popularity died down for me.



Pinky and The Brain!
Pinky: "Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
The Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to take over the world."


Captain Planet!! A lot of environmental stuff to learn and enjoyable at the same time.


I think this will be guys absolute favorite cartoon! Heman and the Masters of the Universe. I am not a great fan but my brother loves it, so, I joined in too!


Voltron!! Guys' favorite as well! Love it when all five joined together to form Voltron!



Super Sentai


Power Rangers

Super Sentai is famous in Japan and produced there in 1986. Power Rangers is adapted from Super Sentai. I was introduced to Power Rangers(produced in the US) rather than Super Sentai. Me and my brother's favorite series when we were young.



Another favorite for me and my brother! Kamen Rider Black and his Grasshopper motorbike. The classic Kamen Rider looks much better than the modern ones!



Last but not least, Ultraman! Classic!!


I think there are plenty more cartoons that I have watched when I was young. Even now, I still love them! Will try to list down more when I have more time! That's all for now! :D

I spotted a Bird

Freezing winter nights these days!! Brrr...... Well, literally spotted a bird outside my window. I'm not an expert on bird species, so don't intend to find out what kind of bird is that. If anyone knows, feel free to let me know! ;D

It has its back facing me, and I started snapping some photos, and it just turns around and stare at me like saying "What are you doing secretly taking my photos?!" in an angry tone! Kind of cute expression.

Recently, my days were not going very well... Things were not running smoothly and I've got a fine from the bank!!! Argh!! Really really great!!! Can't believe I got a fine!! Coughing out that amount of money is really making me and my pocket crying!! Sigh... Hopefully everything will be alright in the new year and may all the good lucks come flying at me!!

Chrysanthemums

Beautiful morning, lovely sunshine.

Uncertainty

"In economics, Knightian uncertainty is risk that is immeasurable, not possible to calculate." (taken from Wikipedia)

There are always uncertainty in life, for good or for the worst. No one can really predict or make a perfect assumption about what will happen tomorrow let alone few hours later. Uncertainties make me tremble. I am facing some uncertainties in life right now and the thought of putting my foot forward on an uncertain path is really terrible. Problems and situations that I wish I know how to solve and overcome. At times like this, I always imagine myself standing not at a fork road, but multiple fork roads, each holding different possibilities.

Memory Lane

I dream a lot, almost every day and I remember all my dreams in details although after awhile, it will seems a little vague. Today I had a dream which takes me down to memory lane. In the dream, I was around 12 years old(??), probably, as one of my cousin sis is still a child.Well, I was going shopping with them and my aunt in some shopping mall. We were shopping for something which in reality is what I wanted as well ^^, shoes! We were looking for shoes that we like and I don't know why, for some reason, the shopkeeper is giving us free shoes! Such good luck!!

I was happy to stumble upon such bargain and so began to search for something I would like! But, I could never find anything that I like or even if I like that specific design, there is no longer my size in stock!! So sad. Woke up feeling a bit disappointed. Anyway, it does seems like a good dream as I somehow get to relived that moment when all of us were children and hanging out together. Can't wait to go back home to see everyone!!

The Graveyard Book

Oooh, can't wait to get my hands on this book!! I have ordered it through Amazon, can't wait for it to get through my mailbox! I love Neil Gaiman's books. He is really terrific, with all his ideas and so far, I have always enjoyed all of his books. He wrote brilliant stories. For the world book day, he wrote a story called "Odd and The Frost Giants". Although it is quite short, with only 96 pages, it was a good story and kept me reading until I've finished it all and still couldn't get enough of it. Really interesting, with an unlikely hero and using an unlikely way to save the day. So now, I'm really really looking forward to "The Graveyard Book". One of my friend have already finished reading it and said that it was Neil's greatest work ever. I will blog about the story once I have finish the book. Right now, all I can do is just wait on the sofa for the postman to deliver the book to me. Please, come quick!
