A Day Free from Technology!(TVless, Laptopless, radioless) and I make an artwork!

Sunday night was not a pleasant night. I was so angry that night. Some personal reasons which I want to keep to myself. Well, after that night, I was so energetic because of the anger and madness. So, I stayed up very late.

During that time, I was thinking a lot. There was nothing bad about being angry. In fact, I was so full of energy that I made a lot of plan that night. I think that occasionally being angry, is quite good. Hahaha, it gives motivation, energy, determination, ... It drives people to the fullest. However, the resentment is still there. I have to admit that I hold grudge easily. So, be careful, don't make me angry, I will remember forever. Hmmm, maybe a couple of years...(Don't freak out). Hahaha, in person, I am quite okey.Okey, back to my huge plan.

List of My Plans:
  1. No laptop or online from Sunday night to Monday night( I made it, I waited until 8.30pm just now)
  2. I will renovate my room (In the midst of doing that, to be continued tomorrow)
  3. I will try to be more environmentally-friendly.( Hahaha, I am making organic-fertilizer - I dug a big hole, throw every organic waste I have into.)
  4. I will practise more for my up-coming piano test.
  5. I will plan for more plans.

For my plan no.2, I had made something. Well, I was going to rearrange my room totally and I made a little something to match it. So, before revealing my renovated-room, let's have a look at the table lamp that I made. It was very easy. To begin, let's prepare some of the materials.


You can see clearly that there are photo frames, scissor, pen knife, color papers, and some glue.



After finishing the design, you can see that they are very pretty, especially the 3D dimension of the colorpaper parts, they are my favourite.




Here are the almost final looks. The left side is the red and green designs, while the right side is the yellow and red designs. They look stunning with the light shinning behind them.



Wala, the final product is being displayed on the very pretty stone table.



Anger, madness, stubborness, sadness..even though they are all negative influences, they have their good sides as well. They sometimes inspire, motivate, push people to the top. Well, I have to say that it is not good to rely on them. But, at one time, they do wanders.

A day without technology was fun, I made a piece of artwork, I became more environmental-friendly, I saved electric energy... But, at the end of the day, I still have to depend on technology to blog.(^-^). In this era of techno, something are meant to stay. They have rooted their existence in human history, maybe in the future, they are our future-technology.

Hellboy 2 is here!!!






As you can see from my blog picture, I am crazy about "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" right now. Therefore, about 3 hours ago, I went to watch the movie with a friend. My friend was just in time when I was about to go into the cinema all by myself, leaving him outside. Hahaha, he was lucky that he was not late.

Well, about the movie, as expected, it was of course a magnificent movie. But, unexpectedly, it was more fantasy this time. I think this is all because of the director of "Pan's Labyrinth", Guillermo del Toro. "Pan's Labyrinth was one of my favourite movie - a combination of reality and fantasy. Well, in this case for Hellboy 2, he created another fantasy world, another land of the mystical, and another success.


The storyline was actually like a fairytale, or a bedtime story. However, in actual, the fairytale was history between the humans and the mystical creatures. There was a deal between them. But, Prince Nuada was not satisfied with deal, he wanted to fight for more. Thus, he planned to revive the Golden Army. Of course, hellboy and his gang tried their best in stopping him.

In this new sequel, hellboy was still the same. But, he finally got his girl,Liz who learned to control her fiery power. Also don't forget about Mr. Sapien, he found his love one, Princess Nuala. They had the same power of feeling. Just with a touch, they could read the mind.




In the movie, I love his big gun!



She is as cool as ever. Well, she is cranky because...



He is in love in the movie.



Oh, he is very good with his spear.


The honourable princess.


The Angel of Death, reminds me of the pale man in "Pan's Labyrinth", but, the angel of death is very different because it is not evil nor good. However, Pale Man was evil who consumed real children. (One of my favourite character- really authentic )



In this movie, actually my most favourite scene was when the God of the Forest was finally vanished in the city of modern day. But, after it was banished by the hellboy, God of the Forest left something very nice behind - a forest in the middle of a city.

At the end of movie, hellboy really got a hell of a surprise, make it double. What to know the surprise, faster check the movie at your nearest cinema.(Hahaha, I sound like the spokeman of the movie.). This movie is a must-watch movie. Don't miss it.(^_^)

By the way, there is a little treat from me. I have made a handphone theme for this movie.

Pushing What? Daisies.....




I have always dreamed of possessing superpowers. I wish I could fly, throw fire ball, control thoughts, be invisible, have the speeding of lightning,... That is an endless list of my wishes. However, what if you were given a power of a touch, not just any touch, a touch of living and death. That is what the new, bizarre, amazing, breathtaking drama-"Pushing Daisies" talks about.


The drama starts when the main actor-Ned, discovers that he can bring dead people, animals, plants alive with just one touch. When he discovers his ability, he feels amazed. But, unbeknown to the consequences of using his power, he causes another death of another equivalent living things. There is a cost for using his power. (This reminds me of the anime-"Fullmetal Alchemist"). His power works on a equivalent trade, if he brings alive a person, another person has to die. Therefore, when he touches a dead person, that person will stay alive unless the second touch is applied. That is why he has the touch of living and death. He brings alive a person with the first touch, and kills the person forever with second touch. Apart from that, there is also a limit to his power, if he brought a dead person alive more that 1 minute, another living person would have to fill the dead person's place.






The storyline becomes more interesting when he brings alive his first and true love, "Chuck" a.k.a Charlotte. When Chuck and Emerson, they forms a detective group which Ned will bring alive the dead to get the information he needs to solve the case. Basically, this is what the drama is all about.



As you can see from the picture above, there is a group of interesting casts.
(scroll down for more info, technical problem)(^^)(Please forgive!)
























1) Ned
Played by Pace Lee: He really portraits the character well in a humorous way. Apart from that he also shows the sensitive side of a guy vividly. He loves his dog and Chuck, but, he can't touch them. What he can do is to feel the love from within. He just captures that feel very well.

2) Chuck a.k.a Charlotte
Played by Anna Friel: She is just dazzling in the drama even though her manly nickname-Chuck. She is charming and died as a lonely traveler. But, she meets the man she loves with all this years and he brought her to life again. Most of all, she is expressive and interesting. She can speak I-don't-know how many languages. Her smile can kill a person and all the clothes in the show are amazingly colourful.She just gives me a witchy feel in the show.

3)Olive
Played by Kristin Chenoweth. She is madly in love with Ned. But, Ned has his heart for another person, you know who. But, she does not give up. She is going to fight till the end even though she loses the battles since day one. By the way , she can really sing.
4)Emerson
Played by Chi McBride. He is a little greedy but, loves to knit. Weird, but, amusing!!!
5)Narrator
Voiced by Jim Dale. He always reminds people how many years,months, weeks,days, hours, minutes, seconds, they live. Well, roughly, I am (19 years old, 7 months, 1 week, 1 day, 8 hours, 40 mins, 40 secs) , sitting in front of the computer, writing this post.


With all the information that I am giving, you know that I am crazy of "Pushing Daisies". I love it because it is just a simple love story with a really unexpected twist. The story of each episode is also very unique in its own way, just giving the feel of real fairytale.

I love the narrator of the show, giving me a sense of exquisite story-telling skills. In "Pushing Daisies", you can find true love. Even though they can't touch, they are love each other. That is true love. After watching the show, there is a sense of sweetness of love...................I don't why but, maybe the colour of the show just gives everybody a new fresh life. I feel every single ingredient in the show - love, hate, desperate,...

P.S: The theme song is very niceeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! But, I can't find it. So, anybody knows where to find it. Please tell me!(^^)

Here are the few moments that I love about this show:
