-quotes-

These are some sentences that caught my attention while reading manga online. Some are meaningful, some are beautiful. I've read the mangas long ago & tagged those pages. Only now that I remember to share them. (This reminds me of someone who once told me that I always wish people belated birthday. Haha.. =P I think that's just my characteristic - late. Gonna improve it one way or another. For now, lets just get back to the main point. ^^) I think there are more... But I forgot to tag them. Haha..

☺ I want to do something different - be something different. Something that's not me --

☺ I want to blossom like a flower.

☺ I want to be different from the usual colors - to have a color of my own --

☺ Healing green... In the shadow of the brightly shining light, the forest rustles softly; the layers of foliage gleam. A gentle wind blows, caressing your hair.

☺ Yet, somewhere I'm sure that you're in this light. 

☺ You are not alone. The trees are rustling. On the great plane you can follow your eternal spirit. You're embraced, and raised in the dreams of the great plane. -- Someday I know you will meet a bright future --

 [the above are from Flower manga, with Higuri Yuu as both the author & artist]

☺ Slowly opening up. Whether it's a human heart, or relationships, or awaiting those sleepless nights, even though there may be times where we would drown, tomorrow will always be filled with promising light... I want to keep believing in that.

 [the above are from Atsui Hibi manga, with Midorikawa Yuki as both the author & artist]

☺ I don't intend to give them up. My passion is not so frail as to be broken by kindness or politeness or insecurity.

☺ Meeting people, crossing paths with them, experiencing different emotions, learning, enriching the heart. Otherwise, you can't take good photos.

 [the above are from Ojousama to Youkai Shitsuji manga, with Fujiwara Cocoa as both the author & artist]

☺ Death is not meant to be an escape from your harsh life. It's a place where everything you've done in your life comes back to haunt you.

 [the above are from Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - Akai Hitomi wa Shitteiru manga, with Kaminaga Manabu as the author & Miyako Ritsu as the artist] 

☺ Every time the sun rises, I think: Another day's begun. But I get depressed when I think that I'm still the same person as I ever was... that I'm just going to spend everyday without going or doing anything, and that the day's going to end like it started.

☺ There really isn't one good thing about me. But... even so, I'm trying my best to move forward...

 [the above are from Asa ga Kuru Tabi manga, with Ikuemi Ryou as both the author & artist]

☺ Nights are peaceful... After the loud noises of the day, night is the sweet welcome of silence.

 [the above are from Lost in London manhwa, with Lee Eun Young as both the author & artist] 

☺ Instead of doubting and not believing, treating life with a 'Really?!' kind of mindset, is truly, a happier thing.

 [the above are from Vampire Rose manga, with Tanemura Arina as both the author & artist]


All the mangas above are translated from the original version (Japanese & Korean). This makes me wonder how's the original sentences look like. Do they give me the same feeling as the translated one?

"Perfect"

"Perfect"

by Simple Plan

[downloaded from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUi54JTgL5s&feature=player_embedded]

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?

And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?

But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it

I just want to make you proud

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't pretend that

I'm alright

And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all 

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and 

We can't go back

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be my hero?

All the days you spent with me

Now seem so far away

And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it 

I just want to make you proud 

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't stand another fight

And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all 

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and 

We can't go back

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said

Nothing's gonna make this right again

Please don't turn your back

I can't believe it's hard

Just to talk to you

But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all 

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and 

We can't go back

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all 

Nothing lasts forever

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and 

We can't go back

I'm sorry 

I can't be perfect

I heard this from the radio station, and I like the chorus of this song~ ^^

oh..and please don't imply that this's what happening to me now k. 'cause there's no such thing. =)

Jauh di Sudut Hati

Title:         Jauh di Sudut Hati
Author:     Ezra Elfizza
Year:         2008 (1st Edition)
Publisher: Nylea Publishing


Romance. Revenge. Sweet lies of guys. Family love. These are what the novel is about.


Natasya
She got to know Adam when he saved her from being disturbed by a group of boys. She fall in love with Adam. But the sweet moment didn't stayed long. One day, she found herself nude in a room. She didn't remembered anything that happened on the night before. All she remembered is that she went for a dinner with Adam. Since that day, she had lost contact with Adam. It seemed that Adam was avoiding her. Feeling ashamed and despaired, she went to Kedah, with her brother's help, to work part time while waiting for her SPM result.


Adam
He had been eyeing on Natasha long before Natasha knew him. It's not because of love, but revenge though. He wanted to avenge for his beloved sister Anita who had been disowned by family. He blamed Natasha's brother, Hakimi, for stealing away his happiness, and also Anita's. Despite countless of advices from his best friend, Faizul, he still carried out his plan on Natasha. Later on, he found that he had fallen for Natasha; but it's too late as Natasha is nowhere to be found.


Anita
She loved Hakimi, and she still does. She got pregnant after being raped. Not hearing her out, her family disowned her. Feeling ashamed, she hid at Kedah even though Hakimi was willing to take care of her and the new life in her womb. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage. Now she was looking after the orphan Fatin, the child of a couple who once took care of her when she was lost after being disowned.


Hakimi
Still loving Anita even though she's missing for years. After finding out about Natasya's incident, he helped her out in every way possible; giving her support and hiding the truth from their parents.


Hakim
Felt something for Natasya, asked her out and proposed to her despite knowing about what happened to her. A very good man, approved by Hakimi himself.


The story reached climax when all of the above characters met in Kedah unexpectedly and the misunderstandings were being resolved one by one. Hakimi wanted Anita back in his life; Adam confessed to Natasya. Hakim and Natasya wedding was cancelled when Natasya's parents found out that Hakim was actually their lost eldest son. The story ended with Hakimi and Anita's wedding and Adam willingness to wait for Natasya to finish her study in London.


All in all, I like this story. It's quite nice for me. ^^

Tips to Buy Thermos

When my dad's admitted into the hospital - SGH - I was asked to buy thermos for him. This is when I learnt of the tip from my mum, the tip to buy a thermos which can hold the heat better.

It's very simple! Just hold the opening or so-called the "mouth" of the thermos to your ear and listen to the sound produced. If you hear loud sound, then it's an OK. ;)

Another thing I learnt is: Don't buy plastic thermos! If you want to enjoy longer life, then buy those other than plastic. Unless you wanted to shorten your lifespan by taking in the melted resin (when the hot water will flow through the plastic opening). *I bought a plastic thermos actually TT

Kawan

Title:          Kawan

Author:      Ezee Rahmani

Publisher: PTS Publications & Distributors Sdn. Bhd.


Despite the non-attractive cover, the story is quite interesting. I like it. =D The story revolves around a family of eight. The father worked as one of the officer in Wildlife and National Parks Department. The most interesting part of this story is about the children making friend with Atan, the crocodile saved by their father. They even bought ball for it to play. (& surprisingly, it played with the ball. weird. haha) When it's time for them to release Atan into the wild, both Atan & the children shed tears. (so touching..) The story ended with the family having the picnic near the river where Atan was released. It seemed that Atan made friends with the other crocodiles and successfully adapted to the wildlife. It still remembered the children when they called out to it from afar. What a unique bond between them. ^ ^


I wonder if this story is true or not.. hmmm..
