Joy to The World

Xmas is coming. It's snowing everywhere in my bathtub last night, what a phenomena...that signal the beginning of the winter. It's time to wake up Santa. I won't be around then as I planned a trip with my friends. So this is a heads up for Xmas Journal (-__-;;; says who always update so little?)

Knowing Christmas is just few weeks away makes me want to sing. Nostalgic feeling inside me is making everything with red and green (plus a bit of foam on top) especially fantasy. I know who responsible to my Xmas delusional disorder... Rewind the time back around 18 years: One very special day before Xmas, my aunt place a fluffy red sock up on the wall right in front of where I sleep. That time I was really sick. I remember I trying making something fun out small patch of Lego toy on the ground, coughing. My aunt kiss me on the cheek, telling me stories that I all forgot right now. Then Mom comes in switch the light off... Then the next day I woke with a song playing next door "Joy to the World... The Lord has.." and see my sock gone from the wall! *Astonish* then second later, realize it doped to the ground. Because one of the Newton Law called gravity. Of course I did not think of that then. Only thing I know is that the sock is full with present! Who would have done it? Parent or my Aunt? Use my heart to feel I resolve to believing in one truth: OMG...Santa Clause is REAL 8D!

Then after a few year, I found out my Aunt was the Santa. Disappointed, but sweet. Didn't know this nostalgia can last so long....that I feel blessed and love every Christmas I had.

So the moral of the lesson is: trick your children nicely. They will remember it for lifetime.

Nine King Grandfather 2011

:::30Sept11:::

Sorry for the tittle again. It is a direct translation from the chinese God, literally named: 九皇爷。Few days ago, we went to pay a visit

My friends planned for this for a week, secretly; As he want to make it a buddy trip, a secret-free trip where we can crap out loud. However, for the entertainment factor and the need of new blood joining our brotherhood, we made it a open trip at the end.

Lion went vegetarian for an afternoon... in our eye, it's a miracle for a cannibal to eat grass. She was sincere for the divination then (It's believe that it will improve the accuracy of the Nine King Grandfather's divination and blessing if you follow the commandment.) Miracle only last until as soon as her hungry stomach meet steamboat mobile at the dinner. Good lord, I'm telling ya, not easy for Lion.



This is Lion. ... and, Yes, literally named lion.

Back to the story...Where I want to took a chance to complain about GPS system Papago. Thanks to this little gizmo' it took us like 2 hours to reach the destination.



First things always come our mind when we land our feet on the land - food. And we spotted this:



Maybe somehow the food made me dizzy; adding with the exitement when I see the gate...



I got lost and my friend all waited for me haha. I'm a person easily get (over)exited with things. But it was worth while as I able to bump in to some scenarios like:

Super crowded streets!


and Beggar Gang!


and some serious looking Chinese Diviner!


(o"o) I totally can imagine how his angry expression similar to usavich ...



Don't make him mad...haha
I heard people said they do very good divinity. They can read your past and current life easily from your birthday. Some of my friend even do a regular "check up" with them. For me, I think I only need to do good on what coming at me. Knowing the future sometime can be a burden u know?

under the temple...


Getting near the temple... I see something really amazing. Crowd of people all handing burning incense like handing a Olympic torch, moving in such a dense group, squeezing with each other and try to make way to different gods statue they want to go.



Jason and his GF


I felt so guilty baring a heart to just capturing good picture and pray nothing about "Nine King Grandfather". So I silently said to the Gods statue above me. I told him the truth that, I'm looking forward to make good picture out of it to promote on something called The Internet. Then I explain to him what is The Internet and so on. It all happened in my mind.



Above my head it was all burning incense. I was amazed that I didn't get burned by any of them.



It say that a vow on this magical place can change one's destiny. Do you believe that?


At the center of everything. There are people who reciting mantra and words. I dunno why, I feel like making a movie out of this.


Over one oclock, finally, we felt like going home. It was a great day. I felt that this place is really magical. I mean... it's like Chinese version of Hogwards. One day I should made a story out of this.

Train トレイン

I came across this freegin awesome song in my folder. Great beat and great lyric too! Even I didn't know what It was, this song just called it out to me. Look at the lyric remind me of my dream every year I wish for in front the cakes.

Lyrics: Ketsumeishi
Music: Ketsumeishi

Even as it rattles on today, the high-speed train inside me
Rolls forward with purpose toward the station of dreams

Will it turn toward my dream?
Or will it stop halfway and rust?
It doesn’t matter to this train I’m on
Today more people will get charmed into riding
Places you wanna see, things you wanna do
And the dreams you had as a child
These are what fuel it
No getting off halfway, it’s an endless journey
The more it rolls forward, the more my dream grows
It says “station of dreams” on my ticket
I’m dizzy with unease for a moment
My emotions well up telling me to never forget
Then all of a sudden the wheels start turning
I can see the train’s destination ahead
And that’s why I can be true to myself

Start moving, my heart’s pure like when I was young
Take off, plow through the grass to my station

Even as it flies around unsteadily, the high-speed train inside me
Soars forward with purpose into the sky of dreams

As long as I have a dream the rails stretch on
Worries are long gone as the train speeds up
Where am I now? Where am I going?
I’m full of dreams so I don’t need to know
No conductor, no schedules, it’s all up to me
No need to sweat or be too eager
I can even stop at a nameless station
Can even blow the whistle and call it a day
Some days I pass through dark tunnels
But eventually light’s waiting at the other end
I avoid the wind leading me astray
And stare up at the free twilight sky
The train just keeps rolling on quietly
You all know how heavy the cargo can get
But it doesn’t matter
I’m gonna take off into the sky of dreams

One morning, a rumor about me
By evening, a bad rumor
That’s right, it’s my fault
But I’ll brush it off and keep moving on

One morning, a rumor about me
By evening, a bad rumor
That’s right, it’s my fault
But I’ll brush it off and keep moving on

Start moving, my heart’s proud like a poet
Take off, plow through the clouds and fly to my sky

I’ll face forward to speed up
And turn my eyes from the tempting winds
Scattering petals as I roll to my destination
Rolling on purposefully, purposefully
Toward the station of dreams
To the sky of dreams…

Start moving, my heart’s pure like when I was young
Take off, plow through the grass to my station

Start moving, my heart’s proud like a poet
Take off, plow through the clouds and fly to my sky

Snapz!

xD

My new blog is up!

That makes 15th August a monumentally awesome day in human history. That also means, I have to work hard to build up the pages bits by bits, do more snapshot here and there, getting the dust off my lenses. As my imagination fade away I realized I have merely a pitiful 3 mastershots in my harddrive. I need more exposure.
