大嘴巴2010年第三張前進未來音樂密碼万凸3
万中選一潮流盛典突破電音舞曲混搭大嘴巴第3張創新登場

＊MTV音樂標榜主持，大嘴巴2010強力曝光
＊迪士尼頻道史迪奇 vs 大嘴巴代言 30秒PROMO強力曝光
(由disney頻道、全省麥當勞、台北捷運站大眾傳媒)
PUMA押寶繼2008年合作以來無法忘懷
2010年亞洲區全品牌代言到手大嘴巴國際級飯碗搶不走
自從2008年PUMA與大嘴巴合作”國王皇后”MV之後，對於大嘴巴活潑，健康的形象留下深刻的印象。2009年從提案到實際的代言內容洽談了一年之久，終於敲定2010年亞洲區全品牌代言人---大嘴巴。這是大嘴巴躍上國際舞台的第一步。代表了大嘴巴的音樂不僅引領了樂壇，他們的”潮”味風格也席捲了運動時尚領域。PUMA不僅邀請大嘴巴擔任全亞洲的代言人，並且全方面投資在大嘴巴的MV視覺，2首”ROCK IT”、”喇舌” MV置入，並重資聘請BOSTON剪接名師重新剪輯成PUMA品牌廣告，全亞洲5億元的媒體露出，而在平面廣告的拍攝方面，更是出動PUMA國際級重裝部隊，攝影師是在韓國首趨一指，專為時尚雜誌封面與平面廣告拍照的攝影師，造型師則是韓國知名團體2Ne1御用造型師，藝術總監更是動用總公司最具權威的最高指導，拍攝平面廣告期間，來自全亞洲各地的代表齊聚一堂，動輒50人的激盪團隊圍著大嘴巴，大嘴巴嚴然國際級藝人的姿態，也讓團員們留下很深刻的印象。 2010年將是大嘴巴大放異采，跨足國際豐收的一年。
造型+MV視覺創意十足 3百萬打造大嘴巴開場
造型李大齊＋導演賴偉康＋大嘴巴 2010開春留下代表作
大嘴巴第三張專輯整整醞釀了半年，雖然錯過2009年，但依然為2010年留下代表作。造型師李大齊從內地回台後，首度將唱片代表作留給大嘴巴，不僅親自畫草圖，跟大嘴巴團員們一起討論”未來感”主題的發揮，從布料挑選，飾品細節，鈕扣拉鍊的挑選都有其精闢之處，歷時一個月的百萬置裝工程，讓大嘴巴有耳目一新的變身。而大嘴巴4個團員們頭上頂著粉紅、藍、紅色、紫色髮型，配上時尚有質感的黑白色調造型，華麗中帶著低調，很有李大齊的個人風格，整體呈現在李大齊眼前時，他很滿意的點點頭，沒想到自己2010年最滿意的作品就呈現在眼前。而拍過無數音樂錄影帶的導演，也是早在半年前就醞釀合作的機會，導演為了呈現未來感的主題，特別花費百萬預算租了阿榮片場兩個大棚，將近24小時的拍攝，強調出”ROCK IT” MV裡寬闊的空間感，並加入LED場景無限變化電音視覺。當大家看到小螢幕的呈現時，都覺得實在太不可思議了，真的好有未來感啊！唱片公司斥資三百萬只為了開創大嘴巴的第一波”未來感”視覺，希望大嘴巴的第三張專輯在亞洲歌壇有超越的地位。
第一波歌曲推薦【ROCK IT】
由大嘴巴的幕後金牌製作人ＫＹＢ作曲，MC 40作詞。ROCK IT是一首未來Disco風格以及現代House合成器的舞曲，結合全球現在最流行的人聲效果 Auto-Tune / Vocoder / Vocal Chopping 特效，呈現的一首歌曲，最能代表大嘴巴『万凸3』專輯的開場之作。歌詞表現出現代年輕人的無俚頭與跳躍的思維模式，更貼近年輕人的聽覺呈現。
第二波歌曲推薦【喇舌】
由大嘴巴另一名重量級製作人阿弟仔作曲，MC40作詞。是一首開創性的電子舞曲，其中的重節拍軍鼓搭上銅管樂，充滿美式軍樂隊拉拉隊風格，跳脫了一般舞曲的刻版配置，讓舞曲的氛圍更活潑靈巧，是大嘴巴改革出新一代舞曲的顛峰之作。
第三波推薦【愛不愛我】
由阿弟仔老師作曲，MC40作詞。輕快拉丁風格曲勢，承襲大嘴巴以往令人備感溫馨的口號型中板舞曲，是大嘴巴万凸3專輯裡設計為替不敢開口求愛的人，大聲的唱出自己心裡的感受，如果等著被愛是一種痛苦的折磨，那麼大膽的面對自己的感受，承認自己希望被愛的心情，才是真正的勇敢。
第四波推薦【Happy Birthday買滴兒】
大嘴巴製作人網羅新系作曲，由MC40與男主唱張懷秋合作填詞。這首歌曲是整張專輯裡面唯一一首日式HipHop曲風構成，加入了 R&B元素，展現大嘴巴的中板青春活力歌曲。勢必從2010年開始取代以往的生日歡唱歌曲，成為KTV裡大家幫親友慶賀生日的另一首標竿。

Nexus One - Revolutionized

2010-01-06T15:54:00.003+08:00

Nexus One is produced HTC but not sale or sold by HTC itself. You can buy Nenux One on google shop which cost roughly $525(Rm1.8k) which ridiculously cheap as compared with other phone in the market with the mentioned specs!! BUT!!! This phone is not available in Malaysia!!! *boooooo* HOWEVER!!! I think it will be in Malaysia for a year or 2 just like Apple with their Iphones~ Hope Maxis will be the carrier(Maxis user here~)

Also, Google.Inc will be launching a new tablet to meet up the Apple's Mac tablet which will be announced in the end of this month during the Apple's Keynote event!

Lyrics:
Its Christmas
And we walk alone
Two strangers with no one to miss us
On our own
Out in the cold
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm
I dont have anyone at home to talk to
And you dont have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you

Its christmas
And we are in love
With the way that soft snowflakes kiss us
From far above
The blustery breeze
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm

I believe that Jesus is the only way
And I celebrate Christmas because its his birthday
I dont have anyone at home to talk to
And you dont have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you...

(Thanks to Natalie for these lyrics)!!!

袁詠琳 Feat 周杰倫 - 畫沙

2009-12-02T18:45:00.005+08:00

周董力挺師妹Cindy袁詠琳，不僅破例首度男女對唱不是他寫的歌，更合拍這首「畫沙｣的MV，這支MV邀請名導鄺盛執導，整首MV搭配方文山歌詞的唯美詩意，在片場搭起了沙洲河岸的大場景，請全台唯一的噴畫老師傅在牆上噴出千變萬化的流動雲朵，讓新人袁詠琳的首支MV一出手就展現不凡氣勢！周董百忙之中，從好萊塢片場搭機返台，一下飛機就直奔桃園的片場參與MV拍攝，周杰倫特別在MV中為師妹拉起了大提琴，而Cindy 袁詠琳不僅彈鋼琴還大秀小提琴琴藝，古典音樂底子深厚的她在師兄面前表現得毫不遜色，兩人的「琴瑟和鳴｣讓這首「畫沙｣完美融合了流行與古典，更精湛的演繹了大提琴與鋼琴、小提琴的對話！

這首出自Cindy作曲的R&B對唱「畫沙｣，在當初寫歌的過程幾經波折，因為Cindy要寫一首和師兄周杰倫的對唱曲讓她又驚又喜又緊張，最初寫好的時候還不敢直接拿給周董聽，躲在錄音室門外不敢看師兄的反應，交出的第一首歌，杰倫說：「這首歌不錯，但比較適合你自己唱。｣被退歌的Cindy繼續默默回家埋頭努力，她一直在腦海中想像適合自己和師兄唱的歌到底是什麼，接著交出了第二首歌，杰倫聽完只說：「嗯，加油！｣她就知道還是不ok，雖然連受兩次退歌的挫折，Cindy還是堅持做到好，她不斷想像適合兩人的音域與感覺的音樂，並特別在歌曲中為師兄杰倫設計一段RAP，熬夜自我挑戰寫出這首「畫沙｣的曲子，終於讓杰倫點頭稱讚，也讓她鬆了一口氣。

而在R&B的抒情歌中鮮少有大提琴的演出，大部分都是彈鋼琴，這次「畫沙｣歌曲中加入大提琴元素就是出自周杰倫的創意！還記得周董曾在他「安靜｣的歌詞中寫到的鋼琴與大提琴嗎?這兩種樂器終於在「畫沙｣這首歌中有了精彩的對手戲！Cindy擅長的鋼琴與小提琴對上師兄周杰倫的大提琴，精彩的「尬琴｣讓片場是瀰漫著充滿氣質感的煙硝味！周董也誇獎Cindy的音樂實力，他說：「Cindy鋼琴演奏真的蠻厲害的！跟宇豪不相上下，不過女生可以彈到這樣的速度跟瘋狂的力道，真的很酷很驚人！跟他唱歌時完全是兩回事，你們看他唱歌時很平靜，但彈起琴來會非常不一樣！重點是她會寫歌，寫歌是蠻有自己特色的！｣言談中充分流露周董愛才惜才的心意。

Call of Duty 6 - Morden Warfare 2

2009-11-19T23:36:00.004+08:00

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was a complete behemoth in the gaming world and in many ways continues to dominate the industry. So, it was with great excitement, and yet a similar amount of apprehension, that I jumped right into the game as soon as I got hold of a copy. Do Infinity Ward meet expectations or fail to live up to the hype? Let’s see…

P.S - Based on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 which give us a high sensation of FPS gaming, I do really hope the 2nd series wont let us down. Let's do the review shall we?

Choose your game

First of all, before we go anywhere, let’s take a look at the game modes put up for us in Modern Warfare 2. You are given three options on the opening menu, which can be broken down into the following:

* Special Ops: Challenges that feature co-operative gameplay.
* Campaign: Story-based single player campaign.
* Multiplayer: Features online and offline multiplayer game modes.

Special Ops

This is the newest mode in the Modern Warfare universe. Building on the basis of the huge popularity of co-operative gameplay, Infinity Ward decided to implement it into Modern Warfare 2. But rather than just simply taking on a two-player co-op version of the single player campaign, IW built a whole new game mode for it.

Special Ops consists of a series of challenges that get increasingly difficult as you progress through them. Each challenge has a 1-3 star reward system, depending on how well you beat the challenge and meet certain targets you will be awarded with more stars. Players must obtain certain numbers of stars to unlock later challenges.

As mentioned above, this game mode supports co-op play, nay was built for co-op play. Most challenges are quite generic, with the usual holding off waves of enemies. But there also some good little twists in there too, like a night time mission where one player covers another player from the air using the AC-130.

Special Ops mode supports one player, as well as two player local (split-screen) and online gameplay.

Campaign

I can’t really go into too much detail story-wise without revealing spoilers, so ‘ll make do with a quick introduction. Modern Warfare 2’s single player campaign will take you through a range of surroundings, from the desert landscape of Afghanistan to snow-capped mountain ranges. Each one feels perfectly suited, the snow crunches and leaves foot prints, while wasteland maps will have a constant sandstorm blowing around you.

As per the other Call of Duty games, Modern Warfare 2 will see you taking on the role of several different people throughout the missions. Sometimes you are working for the SAS-style Task Force 141, othertimes you are fighting for the American Army Rangers.

The missions tend to make use of new weaponry, like the remotely controlled predator missile, which gives you a black and white aerial view of the battlefield briefly before you take out a whole squadron of enemies with it.

Expect the story to twist and turn a fair bit, but always in a good way. There are some pretty amazing set pieces backed up by some brilliant level design and artwork.

Multiplayer

Considered by many as the ‘core’ to the first Modern Warfare (and probably Call of Duty: World at War too), this game mode features both online and offline multiplayer game modes. The offline is pretty similar to the online except you can only have up to 4 players locally via split-screen, unless you opt for a LAN setup, in which case there isn’t much difference at all. The offline mode now even supports local profiles, so you can save you and your friends progress each time you play, meaning you get to enjoy the feeling of unlocking all the rewards individually and setting up your personal custom classes.

The online mode is a much polished and enhanced version of the Modern Warfare and World at War versions from the call of Duty series. There are challenges, levels, prestige modes, custom classes, perks, leaderboards, party support, game invites and all the usual features you expect. However, there are a couple of new, gladly-accepted features too.

Modern Warfare 2 introduces a new item that could probably best be described as a gamercard specific to MW2 itself. This MW2 ‘gamercard’ displays an emblem (small logo picture), the players name and a title with graphic. Modern Warfare 2 lets you select your own emblem and title from a huge list (hundreds), which you progressively unlock as you complete challenges and levels throughout the multiplayer mode.

A slew of new weapons and equipment is brought forth to the scene with Modern Warfare 2, with fancy treats like a heartbeat sensor (similar to a personal, yet less-useful, UAV) attachment for your gun. I don’t want to spoil any more of the goodies so I’ll leave it at that, just rest assured knowing there is a lot more customisation available in MW2.

Perks. This is always a big talking point. There are some perks people hate (you may be glad to know martyrdom is no longer a perk) and some people love. Not only do Infinity Ward introduce a couple of new perks, but they have changed their usage slightly. Not only have they tweaked them to even them up a bit, but you can now also complete perk challenges to ‘level up’ your perks to “pro” versions, which tend to offer a much better equivalent of the original perk.

Overall Rating: 9.5/10

Addtional information : COD6 - MW2 has sold over 4m of copies right now, and yes there are still selling now. Analysis stated that COD6 - MW2 will break the selling record which will be 14m copies all over the world. The old record was Square Enix Final Fantasy 7 which is 10m copies. Yesterday CEO of Square Enix announce that the coming series of Final Fantasy 13 will beat not only the Final Fantasy 7's selling record but also break the COD6 - MW2.

Personal view of thought, nah i sense like-hood of beating the record is slim. DUDE Final Fantasy era is over!!! is time to move on!! We would like to see more kingdom heart thou~ ><

Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10

2009-11-04T23:00:00.004+08:00

Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10

1st look Impression: Holy Shit??!!?? Andriod + Xperia = Awesome~ However, based on the video preview of the UI by the lovely Sony Eriscon, it looks super complicated...

The new main apps would be the Sony Ericsson Timescape™ & Sony Ericsson Mediascape™. Timescape™ is an all in one apps that contain all of your social information such as twitter, facebook, contact number, address, SMS , photo, and much more....

Mediascape™ is also an all in one apps that contain all your media file which act like a media center. No more browsing file per file and locate it, auto sync by the Mediascape™ will auto sort your music , video, photo and games systematically...

Running on the famous yet early stage of development - Andriod by google... Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is touch-driven handset packs a huge 4" 262K-color display with the class-leading resolution of 854 x 480 pixels and an 8MP camera with LED flash. It will run on Android OS v1.6 and have a finger-optimized home-brew UI pre-installed on top of it.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is powered by a 1GHz Snapdraggon CPU and has 1GB of internal memory plus an 8GB microSD memory card included in the retail package.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 features all contemporary means of data transfer starting from quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, though 3G with HSDPA support to Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and USB. There are standard microUSB and 3.5mm jacks this time and not the Sony Ericsson proprietary Fastport. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 will be available in Luster White and Sensuous Black color versions.

Also last but not least, Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10 also will be available in Q1 2010 as they stated on the mail.

Personal Opinion : Looks great on the preview, relatively LARGE with the 4'in OMLED display. Andriod is a major improvement on the Xperia series. Can't say much about the new Apps till I have my hands on them~ But, due to the release of Sony Ericson Satio which is a HUGE disaapointment, I hope SE won't over promise this time with the X10... If not, other competitor will be far ahead of SE. And please SE, don't FUCKING overprice your freaking product!!!

Tsunami Wipes Out Villages in South Pacific

2009-09-30T20:09:00.001+08:00

Victims of the tsunami that swept across the South Pacific had only minutes to escape the deadly waves and in some cases didn't receive alerts of danger, despite years of work to upgrade early-warning systems across the region.

At least 99 people were killed and dozens left missing by the tsunami, which inundated tourist resorts and local villages after a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Samoa early Tuesday morning local time. Disaster authorities warned the death toll could rise significantly over the next few days as the full scale of the disaster – much of which occurred in remote areas – is assessed.

Fears of further waves generally abated late in the day as relief workers set about treating victims and recovering bodies that were washing up along the shores. Although small waves were measured as far away as Japan, that country withdrew its tsunami warnings by afternoon and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii, which monitors possible tsunami threats in the region and issued its own temporary warnings earlier, didn't raise fresh alerts.

The warnings appeared to help prevent injury in some areas. Residents in the Samoan capital of Apia said emergency officials fanned out across the city to warn of the Tsunami Warning Center's first alerts, while staff at Aggie Grey's, a historic hotel along the waterfront, said they quickly moved guests to upper levels to escape danger.

"There were sirens and emergency workers all over the place, pestering people to walk up the hill," said Cherelle Jackson, a resident. But much of the worst danger "was on the other side of the island," she said, and informing residents in those areas, which are less densely populated, was much harder. In some places, she and others said, the messages didn't get through.

Indeed, the fact that many people died in the Samoan islands underscores the most vexing element of planning for tsunamis: Often the biggest challenge isn't knowing when a tsunami is coming, but getting the information out to everyone once the risk arises.

Although Samoa has a system to alert residents by text message, it was unclear if messages went sent out to all parts of the country and residents said some radio stations never interrupted their music. Mobile-phone service is spotty in some rural parts of Samoa, which may have complicated matters. Calls to Samoan government officials were not answered by day's end.

Morison McGregor, a 47-year IT consultant who lives in Denmark, says he and his girlfriend received no official warning after they felt the earthquake while at a resort along the Samoan coast, so they assumed everything was okay. Within ten minutes, though, his girlfriend saw a wave coming and started signaling for the two of them to flee, he said.

"When you looked back you could see a three- to four-meter wall of water behind you," he said. They ran to a hill about 100 to 150 meters away and escaped without major injury, though they lost their passports, laptops and other possessions.

Several other guests were killed, he said, including a Brazilian woman who was staying in an adjacent villa and a three-year old child of a British man there. More than a dozen other residents in the area were killed as well, and the resort was largely destroyed, he said.

"It's easy for us because we can go back home, we can replace our laptops, but people there have nothing," he said.

Experts generally agree that tsunami detection methods have improved significantly over the years through the use of high-tech buoys and other equipment that measure changes in water pressure. Such information is used by scientific centers like the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center to alert governments, which then must notify their citizens.

Governments in the South Pacific, meanwhile, have taken their own steps, especially since a massive tsunami hit South and Southeast Asia in December 2004, killing more than 200,000 people. Their efforts have included boosting training of disaster-preparedness staff and identifying more evacuation routes, experts say.

But many people in Asia and the South Pacific live in remote areas that may not have been listening for radio or phone warnings. The problem was compounded in the case of the latest tsunami because the earthquake occurred so close to land, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from Samoa and American Samoa, meaning there was only a matter of minutes before the waves began sweeping ashore.

Many people "did get a warning, as I understand it, but it was a very short time because the earthquake wasn't far offshore," said Bob McMullan, Parliamentary Secretary for International Development Assistance in Australia. At least one Australian woman was killed, and six others were missing. "I don't think the tsunami warning failed; I just think there wasn't time for it to have effect," he said, though he added, "we'll have to have a look at whether there was a planning or information problem."

In cases involving earthquakes that are so close to the shore, "the propagation of warnings from official sources" can be "useless," added Sanny Ramos Jegillos a regional crisis prevention and recovery coordinator for the United Nations Development Program in Bangkok. What may be needed, he said, is more training of local communities to teach residents and tourists that they must evacuate to higher ground even without official warnings whenever a strong earthquake occurs.

It remained difficult to get a full reading of the damage due to problems in reaching remote areas by phone or by road. On one Samoan island, a giant boat was found washed ashore alongside a highway, while wetlands were filled with trash and debris. Several tourist resorts reported partial or total destruction.

Hundreds of people in Samoa were being treated for injuries, the Associated Press reported, with many continuing to straggle into treatment centers late in the day, and the Samoa Red Cross said it had opened five temporary shelters to help with the 15,000 people who were affected by the tsunami. At least 63 people were dead in Samoa, and 30 were killed in American Samoa, the AP said, citing local police and other officials.

Authorities in Tonga confirmed at least six people were killed in that nearby island nation, the AP said.

At the Sinalei Reef Resort and Spa, a posh retreat of white sand beaches and bungalows along Samoa's southern coast, a restaurant and pier were severely damaged or destroyed, along with the resort's presidential suite and honeymoon villa, according to a note from management posted on the resort's Web site. The resort said that all guests and staff were safe and relocated to other undamaged resorts and that Sinalei is now closed until further notice. An employee who answered the phone at the resort said staff were too busy to answer additional questions.

Powerful quake destroys buildings in Indonesia

2009-09-30T20:00:00.000+08:00

JAKARTA — A powerful 7.9-magnitude quake struck off Indonesia's Sumatra island Wednesday, destroying large buildings and starting fires in the major city of Padang, geologists and reports said.

"A number of hotels in Padang have been destroyed," Indonesian geophysics and meteorology agency tsunami warning head Rahmat Triyono said, adding the agency did not release a tsunami alert.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii however issued a tsunami watch for Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Thailand.

"Up to now we haven't been able to reach Padang, communications have been cut," Triyono said.

The quake struck at sea at 5:16 pm (1016 GMT) at a fairly deep 87 kilometres (54 miles), 53 kilometres northwest of Padang city in West Sumatra province, the United States Geological Survey said.

Local news channel Metro TV reported fires amid the wreckage in Padang, a city of 900,000, where panicked residents had run onto the streets as the quake hit.

There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

The quake was felt in the capital Jakarta 940 kilometres away.

Geologists have said Padang, which lies near the colliding Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates, is the most likely in the country to fall victim to the next major quake.

The city is most at risk from a final segment along the zone shifting to unleash a massive amount of energy.

The zone's other segments have already cracked, including a large portion off Aceh, at the northern tip of Sumatra, which triggered the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which killed more than 220,000 people.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," where the meeting of continental plates causes high volcanic and seismic activity.

A quake on the main island of Java earlier this month killed 123 people.

Higashi No Eden

2009-07-24T01:32:00.003+08:00

Eden of the East (東のエデン, Higashi no Eden) is a Japanese anime television series, which premiered on Fuji TV's noitaminA timeslot on April 9, 2009. Created, directed and written by Kenji Kamiyama, it features character designs by Chika Umino and animation production by Production I.G. Based on an original story by Kamiyama, it is the first original noitaminA series. Two theatrical films are also planned for release in Japan on November 28, 2009 and January 2010 respectively.

On November 22 2010, ten missiles strike against uninhabited areas of Japan, claiming no victims. This apparent terrorist act is referred to as "Careless Monday" and disregarded by most people. The series begins three months later, with a young Japanese woman named Saki Morimi visiting Washington D.C. as part of her graduation trip. When she gets into trouble, a mysterious Japanese man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, helps her through it. The man appears to have no memory and is completely naked, carrying only a gun and a cell phone charged with 8.2 billion yen in digital money. The cell phone has the phrase, noblesse oblige ("nobility obligates" or "noble's obligation" in English), printed on it. While they are coming back to Japan, they learn that a new missile attack has taken place in their country.

[Personal Review]

At first, I though that this anime will be just another plain old Anime that a company used to earn money. But when I see the author who wrote this base storyline who also wrote the famous Anime - 'Ghost in the Shell', this anime is something something if you know what I mean.

First episode of Higashi No Eden is just way plain. A naked guy who suddenly appears in front of the White House, and a girl just to appear to see that naked guy. Comedy stuffs happen, and end of 1st ep.

But when the 2nd Episode is up, this episode is a turnover element. The so called 'Game' started to explain itself, Takizawa the male protagonist in this Anime also 1 of the 'player' in the game. The player is so called as Seleção and he is no.9 - there are total 12 player in this game.

The reason for this game is to change the country which is corrupted and no control over the country~ Yea, I wish I can play that game. Player are given 10billion yen to play with, of course only that are related to the game.

As the episode goes on, Saki the Female Protagonist beginning to know about the 'Game' and started to drill up Takizawa's memory and background. (Takizawa's memory was wiped at the beginning).

Blah Blah Blah.... More char to show up... and Blah Blah Blah

Ok skip to the last episode, one of the Seleção planed to release 66 missile into Japan to destroy Tokyo in order to start a revolution. However, Takizawa who lost his memory was back. Takizawa order the Game supervisor called Juiz to wipe out his memory because during the middle of the game, he was being betrayed by his best friend who was dead after. So he planned a massive of naked NEET in a mall which the mall was being bought by Takizawa with 3billion. Later on he send them to a 3 month trip and the last destination will be the mall again - he is planning something fishy.

Expected, till that day with the 66 missle, the massive NEET is back. Takizawa provoke them to be angry and aggressive, while letting them know about the 66 missiles. Takizawa also lie to them about the 66 missiles which is his idea to wipe all the NEET. Who knows, Takizawa once again provoke them to go online with their phone(get from the mall which they left 3 months ago, striped) and go to the Eden of the East(Higashi no Eden) website to vote for the method to avoid the missiles. Smart Guy!!!

At the end, he manage to save Tokyo and the NEET. But with all those missiles flying around, the media will be massively broadcast about it. He knew that the president of Japan will avoid this problem and let it go as nothing happens.(Which lead to corruption of the country). So Takizawa used his remaining Yen, billions of Yen and make a phone call to Juiz and requested as a King in this country, so he can fix the country.

He said :' Sorry Saki, is my fault you are hurt, you shouldn't follow me, but I'm King now, I'll fix everything, everything~'

-End-

5/5 rating~

Selecao

Twelve individuals (including Akira) are each given 10 billion yen by the mysterious Mr. Outside for them to spend. This huge sum is in digital currency only and cannot be exchanged for real world money. The Selecao are allowed to spend the money how they see fit, but they must make use of the money to find a way to "save" the country. The supporter who is hiding as one of the Selecao will be sent by Mr. Outside himself, to assassinate one of the other participants if they try to escape, use the money wrongly or fails with his/her mission to help society; it is also mentioned that when one of them successfully "saves" Japan, the other remaining ones will be eliminated as well, regardless of their less than complete successes. The name "Selecao" comes from the Portuguese word "Seleção" (Selection).

26.06.2009 - RIP Michael Jackson

2009-06-26T23:02:00.001+08:00

Michael Jackson has died after suffering a cardiac arrest, sending shockwaves sweeping across the world and tributes pouring in for the tortured music icon revered as the "King of Pop".

MCPX

Jackson, 50, collapsed at his rented mansion in the exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills and was rushed to hospital by paramedics before being pronounced dead at 2:26pm (5.26am Malaysian time).

One of the most influential figures in pop history whose career included the highest-selling album of all-time, "Thriller," Jackson had been preparing for a concert comeback in London next month he had dubbed "the final curtain."

News of his death triggered an outpouring of grief as shocked celebrities, foreign governments and devoted fans from Beijing to Beverly Hills paid tribute to the troubled star.

Lieutenant Fred Corral, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, said an autopsy would likely be carried out on Friday and would not speculate on the exact cause of death.

Jackson's brother Jermaine, the family's official spokesman, later revealed physicians had battled for more than an hour to revive the star after his arrival at the UCLA Medical Center before he was pronounced dead.

"Our family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time," Jermaine Jackson said. "May Allah be with you, Michael, always."

As the sun began to sink over Los Angeles, a coroner's office helicopter bearing Jackson's body took off from the UCLA Medical Center, where hundreds of media and fans had gathered throughout the day.

Meanwhile police motorcycle riders surrounded Jackson's gated mansion as crowds of tourists and fans congregated.

Pop diva Madonna was among dozens of celebrities who struggled to cope. "I can't stop crying over the sad news," the singer said in a statement. "The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever!"

Ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley left speechless

The star's first wife Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis Presley, said his death had left her speechless.

"I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family," Presley told MTV News in a statement.

Political figures also paid their tributes.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lamented the loss of "one of the most influential and iconic figures in the music industry."

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband also posted his thoughts on micro-blogging site Twitter. "Never has one soared so high and yet dived so low. RIP Michael," Miliband wrote.

But the most visible emotion came in spontaneous gatherings of fans here and across the world.

In Los Angeles Lana Brown, a 49-year-old tourist from Dallas, broke down in tears as she digested the news. "I can't believe we might have lost the best entertainer this world has ever seen," she told AFP.

In New York's Times Square, Chantal de Roy van Zuydewijn watched a giant screen broadcasting the news of Jackson's death with tears running down her cheeks.

"He is a legend. He is a genius," said the 28-year-old Dutch tourist, who had a ticket to the pop legend's scheduled comeback tour in July.

Allegations of child abuse

Jackson's death came as the singer prepared to make a keenly anticipated concert comeback in London, his first series of shows in more than a decade.

Jackson family attorney Brian Oxman said he had harboured concerns over the singer's condition, revealing that he had been taking prescription medication as he prepared for his comeback.

Oxman compared Jackson's fate to the overdose death of Playboy centerfold Anna-Nicole Smith, voicing concern over "enablers" in his entourage.

"The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him... if you think that the case of Anna-Nicole Smith was an abuse, it was nothing to what we have seen in Michael Jackson's life," Oxman told CNN.

While Jackson ruled the charts and dazzled audiences with electric dance moves like the backwards "moonwalk" in the 1980s, his once-stellar career was overshadowed by his colourful public behaviour, his startling physical transformation and multiple allegations of child abuse.

He lived as a virtual recluse following his 2005 acquittal on charges including child molestation and plotting to kidnap his young accuser.

Despite his acquittal, the trial was a body blow from which the pop music superstar, whonamed his ranch after Peter Pan's "Neverland" of perpetual childhood and furnished it with Disney-inspired rides, struggled to recover.

Child artiste to superstar

Born on August 29, 1958, Jackson made his show business debut with four of his elder brothers in the Jackson Five pop group, and went on to lead the stage clan with a piping soprano and dazzling dance moves.

In 1979, Quincy Jones produced Jackson's first solo album for Epic, "Off the Wall," a huge disco-oriented success that sold 10 million copies.

They teamed up again in 1982 for what would be Jackson's breakthrough album as a composer and co-producer, "Thriller," which became the top-selling album of all time, with sales exceeding 41 million.

Jones reacted with shock after being informed of Jackson's death Thursday.

"I'm absolutely devastated at this news," he said. "I just don't have the words. Divinity brought our souls together and allowed us to do what we could do through the '80s," Jones said.

Tommy Mottola, the former head of Sony Music who released Jackson's records for 16 years, said the singer had a place in the pantheon of American music icons, alongside Elvis and Frank Sinatra.

"It's one of the greatest losses," Mottola told the Los Angeles Times.

Crowds continued to throng near the UCLA Medical Centre and Jackson's home late Thursday, while street vendors selling hastily designed commemorative T-shirts for US$25 sought to cash in.

The star had three children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.

He is survived by his mother, Katherine, father, Joseph and eight siblings - including Janet, Randy, Jermaine and La Toya Jackson.

Tmnut Screamyx - Getting what you paid for?

2009-05-23T11:57:00.006+08:00

'Tmnet Streamyx your no.1 best Broadband service provider~'

This quote I saw on newspaper everyday. Day after day after day~ But is that really true?? Or you are just fucking lying to us???

Why am I even making this post, cause I'm really pissed from the service by streamyx. Ok the thing is, you are not really getting what you are really paid for, and RM88 package which provide 1mb downstream and 512kb upstream, and you should be enjoying that right? NO!!! From now on, streamyx are cutting mostly every1's transfer speed during 11am till 1am the next day... 70% of that speed that is.

So now the deals is I'm paying the overly overrated overprice broadband and I'm not getting what I should get? Well thats Malaysia to you~ Since Tmnet monopolized the connecting service, they just don't really fucking care what you think~ and now more preposterous that I'm paying Rm99 every month just to get the 10 hours of full speed internet which will be 1am till the 11am, which also will be my bed time?? Smart way to make business~

And the goverment always said :'Don't compare with other high tech country like singapore, U.S, or Japan' Ok I won't compare, cause those are 1st world country, and we are like the 3rd world country, so lets compare the 3rd worlds. Take Philippines(PH) for example. PH also a 3rd world country like Malaysia does, frankly speaking their economy power is no way near our toe, but then they are providing 8MBps broadband service - that's call broadband, Tmnet doesn't even know what broadband means. Their Internet Service provider(ISP) charge them even a cheaper price than Malaysia. Why just can't Malaysia do that?

For the truth, Tmnet Streamyx broadband service is not even close to the definition of the broadband~ They just claim themselves broadband service provider but they are actually providing dial-ups services... which charge us broadband like fees. *Some countries dial-ups are even faster than our fastest broadband service from Streamyx(4Mbps).

I just wish a new ISP would come and take down Streamyx.. their service is just fucked up... XD

Here are some banners that Streamyx hater made... Credits goes to them~ I'm just posting it XD

H1N1 strike in Malaysia

2009-05-16T00:42:00.003+08:00

Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, also known as A(H1N1), is a subtype of influenzavirus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans, including the strain(s) responsible for the 1918 flu pandemic which killed 50–100 million people worldwide. Less virulent H1N1 strains still exist in the wild today, worldwide, causing a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all flu infections in 2006. Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs and in birds.

In March and April 2009, hundreds of laboratory-confirmed infections and a number of deaths were caused by an outbreak of a new strain of H1N1.

Well, this is the general of the H1N1 flu~ But then why am I posting this? Haha this is the hint.

On the 13 May 2009, a Malaysian student studying in USA , Chicago came back to Malaysia that day with 119 passanger. The Health Ministry has confirmed Malaysia's first case of A(H1N1) infection after tests were conducted on a student currently warded at the Sungai Buloh hospital. Sungai Buloh thats like near my residential area!!!

In a statement today, Health Department director-general Dr Ismail Merican said that the 21-year-old youth was warded on May 14 after suffering fever, sore throat and body aches, on returning home from the United States a day before.

"Anti-viral treatment has been administered on the victim and he is in stable condition," said Ismail.

Acting Health Minister Kong Cho Ha, who addressed a hastily-convened press conference this afternoon, five family members who live with the patient have been placed under home quarantine in order to monitor their condition.
Ismail stressed that Malaysians have no reason to panic as his department was collaborating with all relevant agencies to take proactive measures to ensure public health.

"The Health Ministry also advises all passengers of MH091 from Newark, USA which arrived on 7.15am, May 13, to contact 03-8810-0200 or 03-8881-0300 for further action," he said.

Kong said that no passengers had been quarantined.

"We are still trying to trace them," he said of the 199 passengers and crew onboard the flight.

"We will segregate them (when located). If they have no signs (of the disease) they can go after a certain number of days," he added.

However, he said there was a fear that some of those exposed to the infected patient may have gone on to Indonesia.

"We mention Indonesia because that flight is a code share with (Indonesian carrier) Garuda so the assumption is that there could be some passengers going to Indonesia," he added.

Officials could not immediately confirm how many Indonesians were on board nor if any passengers continued onto Indonesia.

Kong said Malaysia's alert level would remain the same despite its first confirmed swine flu case as the country was already at its highest state of preparedness since the World Health Organisation (WHO) raised its flu alert to phase 5.

WHO has set the pandemic alert level at phase 5 - out of a possible 6 - which means a global outbreak is 'imminent'.

"We have been on full alert," said Kong. "We are on a level of full preparedness."
As of midnight, May 14, Ismail said that the ministry's Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) were notified of 11 of suspected A(H1N1) victims nationwide.

Other than the case in Sungai Buloh hospital, clinical tests revealed that all suspected victims tested negative for the virus.

White Album - Review

2009-05-15T23:42:00.007+08:00

Well, I've finished this anime recently so I would like to review about it since this anime still on my mind lurking around - not many drama/show/story can stay in my mind and still keeping thinking about it since I'm very forgetful. This White Album was being aired on December 2008 for 13 episode~ However it is not ended yet, as the last episode said ' The Blank Page need to be filled, see you in next winter's White Album '. I assume that season 2 of White Album will be aired on Winter 2009~

White Album was originally an Adult Visual Novel Illustrated by Leaf~ then it was re-illustrated into manga in 2004 for all age suitable~ After being selling as hot as pancakes in the market, it was then created into an Anime by AQUAPLUS produced by Seven Arcs for 13 episode for now~

Well, this anime is about the Male Protagonist Tōya Fujii dating a girl named Yuki Morikawa who both are romantically together. But then Yuki adapted to a new job - A singer. She was then quickly turned into an Idol. So Tōya Fujii think he is not suitable for her anymore because of the work status. Rina Ogata - another heroine, is a popular idol singer under the same management agency as Yuki. Rina is elegant and intelligent, and maintains a mutual friendship with Yuki.

So Rina tried her best to maintain their relationship as a friend by getting Tōya into the agency as her manager~ Then Misaki Sawakura was totaly in love to Tōya since they were classmate~ Then another heroine Haruka Kawashima was Tōya kindergarten friend till now in college. She was in love with Tōya too although Tōya was already dating Yuki~

In order to get Yuki into a top shape before the concert during the Christmas Eve, Yuki's manager Yayoi seduce Tōya to break their relationship~ But then Tōya and Yuki still manage to keep their bond of their love by meeting up after the Concert during Christmas Eve~ Then Yuki gave Tōya a phone - because they always talk to each other by public phone to the agencies or home rental phone which is limited. So now they have unlimited talktime to each other. And i thought they gona have a happy ending at the end. But, as soon as Yuki finished her concert, she return home and jack-up her phone and call Tōya. However, she can't reach him no matter how many times she called. It seem that Yuki in Tōya heart is not that important anymore, as he totaly forget about the phone issue. Tōya cried when Yuki wanted to broke-up with him, and Yuki suffered too. Yuki scarified so many for him and too Tōya scarified many to Yuki. But the beginning is the end.

'Blank Page need to be written, See you in the Next White Album'

As a final thought, I think this anime is totaly different from the love story I read before. As I said it is totaly another league~ Well, I hope to see the Season 2 of White Album, see how Tōya and Yuki ended up. Ending a little bit harsh thou~ I woulda give it a 5/5.

Chocolate Steamboat - Fun Much?

2009-05-09T22:56:00.004+08:00

Well, on the 5th of May 2008 we were having a steamboat erm... a chocolate steamboat to be exact~ Haha, well we are having fun thou... nothing much to talk about it... just that, I thought that it will be crowed who knows... Haha~ Still chocolate and fruits is still chocolate and fruits... Can't cure the stomach.

Then we go to Spicy there have our late night dinner~ then talk talk and talk till 12am something... XD

Don't Wear Black Shirt - Or Eles~

2009-05-06T22:50:00.002+08:00

As I said, please don't wear black shirt on public for your own sake. And No this is no a joke!!! Malaysia's deputy chief police officer said that the police will lock-up those people who wears black shirt on public~

Why?? Because there will be a protest on the Perak, and the government are scared of it~ Plus a blogger who posted about the protest is lock-up in the prison for 1 day~ Although he was released today, but then he was taken to the police station again...

So my advice is, No black shirt tomorrow~ Well, we have no rights anyway on Malaysia... Well good luck~ XD Peace Out!!!

Heroes Season 4 - Volume 5

2009-05-01T13:28:00.002+08:00

Heroes Volume 5 Lays Ahead After Controversial Season 4 Ending

Heroes Volume 5 is entitled "Redemption" which is technically what Heroes Season 3 was trying to do all along. As Heroes Volume 4 proceeded, the often embattled show went on its customary up-and-down ride to try and recapture its old Volume 1 superpowers. But this latest volume of Heroes is over with what are sure to be heavily debated results, with Volume 5 out to continue the Heroes rebuilding project in September.
Season finales have never been an historic strong suit in Heroes. In fact, the first season finale was pretty much the beginning of the end for Heroes rise to the top of television. Last night was the Season 3 finale, though it was more technically the end of the fourth volume.

As per usual on the show, a showdown with supervillain Sylar made up much of the end of a Heroes volume. And just like in the end of Volume 1 and Volume 2, Nathan Petrelli looked to be a goner for the volume cliffhanger. Unlike in the past, Nathan was actually a dead Hero by the end of this volume, thanks to Sylar.

But Adrien Pasdar still got to keep his job, in a plot twist that was sure to get Heroes fans talking. To continue the secret existence of the Heroes, Angela Petrelli, Matt Parkman and Noah Bennett captured Sylar and drugged him into using his shape shifting powers to be Nathan for good, and to lose his memory of ever being Sylar.

Immediately, Heroes fans were sure to cry foul over them going to all this trouble. After all, Claire Bennett still has the power to revive people from the dead. In addition, one of the common complaints about Heroes is that characters never really die, and just come back to life within a few weeks.

Technically, that wasn't the case in the Season 3 finale, as the real Nathan is apparently gone forever. But in keeping a character dead for good in this manner, Heroes may have stretched their continuity a bit too further than usual.

In the traditional season finale tease for the next volume, Ali Larter returned in yet another form - this time as a water based killer. And the fake Nathan got to have a very Sylar-like attraction to clocks. So all the "turn Sylar into Nathan" business may just serve as a temporary way to be rid of Sylar, while Zachary Quinto goes off into mega stardom with Star Trek during the Heroes offseason.

Heroes Volume 5 may be yet another one of the show's many last chances to return to power. Former writer and Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller will be back full time for Volume 5, though it may be too late for some fans and critics.

The new Era of Proton - Proton Exora

2009-04-21T13:56:00.014+08:00

Finally, it comes to the end the long awaiting Proton MPV will be called Proton Exora. The Exora is based on the name of the Ixora flower, with the tagline “Keriangan Keluarga”.

“Exora” was the winning entry in Proton’s nationwide MPV naming contest which began in September last year. The month long contest attracted 251,763 entries. The name was given by Norsholihan Bt Abdul Eanich of which she will get 1 unit of the Proton Exora when it is launched this April.

The Proton Exora is a Compact MPV produced by Malaysia car manufacturer Proton and launched on 15th April 2009 at 10pm Malaysian time. It is a new model from Proton based on a new chassis. The development of this MPV starts from scratch and it will be the first Malaysian-designed MPV. Car reviewers in Malaysia have gone to the extent of calling this the the best car made by Proton so far.

The Proton Exora chassis uses a MacPherson strut design at the front and a torsion beam at the rear. It measures 4,592mm long, 1,809mm wide and 1,691mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,730mm. It is powered by the Campro CPS engine producing 125 horsepower and 150Nm of torque, resulting the top speed of 165 km/h (103 mph) and the average fuel consumption of 7.2 L/100 km (39 mpg-imp; 33 mpg-US). The gearbox is similar to the Proton Waja and Proton Gen-2 but has a higher final drive ratio to help with power delivery.

The Exora features a Body Control module which allows automatic activation and configuration of various vehicle functions such as door locking/unlocking, interior lamps, headlamps, brake lamps and wipers.

Proton Exora MPV will be tagged under RM80,000 and available in 5 colours Genetic Silver, Tranquility Black, Blue Haze, Pyrite Brown and Gaia Blue.

If you interested with this Exora, you can place your booking from 21 Feb 2009 onwards. Be the first to drive Proton MPV.

The price was RM78 for the lunch session, not inclusive of tax and 10% service charge. The price is different for each session, lunch, late lunch, dinner and supper, with the most expensive session is the dinner at RM88 per pax. So both of us , me and my GF total bill will be Rm 200+ - because we orders oyster and shell clam. LOL

New era of Malaysia - Dark as hell? or Bright as Heaven?

2009-04-03T15:01:00.000+08:00

Today could either be the darkest day in Malaysian history since May 13 or the brightest breath of hope since independence.

The power is in the hands of the Yang Di Pertuan Agong.

To the King, we the people of Malaysia grovel at your feet for mercy, justice and wisdom to not accept Najib as PM.

To God, forgive us for our sins and please, please bestow courage onto our beloved King. And to the people of Malaysia - ‘Brace for impact'.

Najib Abdul Razak takes the oath as Malaysia's sixth prime minister before the king this morning. Dressed in black baju Melayu, he read his declaration of taking office and oath of secrecy before King Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin at 10.10am in Istana Negara.

Abdullah tendered his resignation yesterday, after agreeing several months ago to step down in the fallout from polls that transformed Malaysia's political landscape.

Abdullah spent an unremarkable six years in office, during which he initially pledged extensive reforms including tackling corruption, which is endemic in the ruling party and society at large.

However, he was punished at the ballot box for not making good on his promises, and was widely criticised as a weak and ineffective leader.

Anyway, this movie is talk about a father who was a secret service of the government and his daughter. His daughter wanted to have a vacation with her best friend, but her father doesn't allow because of the dangerous world out there. But at the end she get to go due to the pressure was given by her mom to father - Her father was divorce with her mom.

Then she was kindapped, and her father come to rescue her. Her father take anything to take back his precious little daughter. Well I think I should stop here, spoiler alert. Haha...

Watch it, is recommended. I would give a 4/5 stars for this movie. The last star is due to the movie is quite short and not that satisfying 100 mins only.

60 earth hour - Malaysia

2009-03-29T00:32:00.000+08:00

28 March 2009 is truly a splendid day for everyone on earth to work out something, and that is 60 Earth Hour by WWF. As well as Malaysian also will be participated in this such meaningful event.

There are so many Malaysia landmarks supporting this 60 earth hour event. Such as the famous KLCC(Kuala Lumpur City Center), KL Central, Historic Dataran Merdeka, Putrajaya, KL Tower, and even Sunway Inc.co's Sunway city(Pyramid, Hotel, Hospital and University/College) as well as the famous Peneng Bridge pledges to support 60 Earth Hours.

Even myself, at 8.30pm sharp I turn off every lights as possible in my house. As expected most my friend are doing so. 8Tv stop broadcasting during 8.30 - 9.30 pm and that is cool.

*Such a pity that I didn't take any photo at that time~ Oh well, make sure I get ready the camera for next year. ^.^

Sadly to see that some of my neighbor didn't do that and that was quite disappointing. Everyone should participate it, and everyone could. How difficult will it be by flicking off the light switch??

This will be the new era for the history;A new history for the world;A new world for the people who hoped;and a new hope for the Earth.

Effect of Economy Crisis - Japan

2009-03-25T17:59:00.001+08:00

Countries around the world can learn a few things from Japan's decade-long battle to recover from the severe economic slump that hit that country in the 1990s, a Japanese economist says.

"I think there is one ray of hope in all of this, and that is that we in Japan experienced it 15 years earlier and even though it took us a long time, we actually did manage to come out the other end," Richard Koo, chief economist at Nomura Research Institute in Tokyo, told a symposium hosted by The Japan Society in Toronto yesterday.

The "very aggressive" recession that is enveloping much of the globe is not a textbook downturn, Koo said. Like the prolonged slump that became known as Japan's lost decade, the current crisis is a "balance sheet recession," he said – one that happens when asset price bubbles burst, leaving private-sector balance sheets with more liabilities than assets. Companies spend any cash flow they have paying down debt rather than maximizing profit. As a result, few want to borrow money even after central banks lower interest rates sharply, rendering monetary policy "largely ineffective," Koo said.

Koo admitted that Japan is often cited as an example of how not to handle an economic crisis. But he argued that the country did "a remarkable job," citing the fact that commercial real estate prices in Japan fell 87 per cent from their peak, but gross domestic product never dropped below the peak of the bubble, both in real and nominal terms.

Koo said Japan was able to pull itself out of its protracted slump when the government "came in and borrowed (money) and put it back into the income stream."

"This is the worst economic crisis in the post-war era," Yosano said at a press conference, according to Japan's Kyodo news agency.

According to my uncle who living in Shibuya, Japan , said that now most of the worker are riding bicycle rather than driving. Due to economy downturn, most of them are having hard time just to survive in a normal circumstances. 'I need to cut down every aspect that are able to cut down or eles we are gonna living under the bridge' my uncle's son said.

Further more, oil price in Japan are incredibly expensive and only high paid salary are able to own a car and drive it.

But luckily Japan had survived the previous financial crisis in 1998, we are expected they have some trick hidden in their sleeves. Till now, Japan haven't been able to recover from the financial downturn's attack yet during Quarter 2, 2008.

Dean.

60 Earth Hour - March 28 2009

2009-03-23T23:15:00.000+08:00

What its all about

It’s as simple as a flick of the switch.

What began as a campaign to get Sydneysiders to turn their lights off, has grown to become one of the world’s biggest climate change initiatives. In 2009, at 8.30pm on March 28, people around the world will turn their lights off for one hour – Earth Hour. We’re aiming to reach one billion people, more than 1000 cities, all joining together in a global effort to show that its possible to take action on global warming.

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia with 2.2 million homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour. Only a year later and this event had become a global sustainability movement with up to 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum and theCoca Cola billboard in Times Square, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Earth Hour 2009 is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up, to take responsibility and to get involved in working towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to The Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world will turn off their lights and join together in creating the vital conversation about the future of our precious planet.

Over 64 countries and territories are participating in Earth Hour 2009. This number grows every day as people realise how such a simple act, can have such a profound result in affecting change.

Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action. Everyone can make a difference.

Join us for Earth Hour 2009, turn off your lights at 8.30pm Saturday 28 March and sign-up here at Earthhour.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun - The new adaption of To Aru Majutsu no Index

2009-03-23T20:19:00.000+08:00

Feeling down when the famous To Aru Majutsu no Index ended last week? Well fear not, a new adaption To Aru Kaguku no Railgun(Choudenjibou) is avalible soon.

A flyer has announced that an anime adaptation of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun), Motoi Fuyukawa's manga spinoff of Kazuma Kamachi's To Aru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magic Index) light novels, has been green-lit. More details will be announced on the official website. To Aru Majutsu no Index has already been made into an anime last October. The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun manga has been running in ASCI MediaWorks' Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine since the April 2007 issue, and three compiled volumes have been published.

The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun side story is based on Kamachi's original story set in Academy City, a city where about 80% of its 230,000 citizens are students. The story deals with the adventures of Mikoto Misaka, one of the Level 5 psychics in the To Aru Majutsu no Index light novels.

Update: More background information and story details added.

Update 2: An onscreen image at the end of the final episode of the To Aru Majutsu no Index anime on Thursday has confirmed that the anime adaptation of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun has been green-lit.

The Future of Anime Industries in Doubt

2009-03-22T20:57:00.001+08:00

The deepening recession and rapid shift in the overall landscape surrounding the industry have caused many to fear for the future of one of the nation's most prized cultural exports.

"The global fan base for Japanese 'anime' is increasing, but with the old business model crumbling it isn't translating into profits," said Yasuo Yamaguchi, executive director of the Association of Japanese Animations.

For the past decade, the industry has been hammering out average annual sales of 200 billion Yen in what experts described as an "animation bubble."

Yamaguchi predicted, however, that the industry's proceeds for fiscal 2008 which have yet to be calculated would be lower than 2007, when total sales dropped almost 20 billion Yen from 2006, a record high year, according to AJA statistics.

"The financial crisis is forcing sponsors to cut down on television advertisement fees, and this in turn is shrinking the budgets for animations, pressuring everyone involved in the production," Yamaguchi said.

"I think we'll see a major decrease in the number of anime programs broadcast. Agencies dependent on television as a primary financial source will need to search for alternatives."

Besides the gloomy economy, the overwhelmingly adult content of recent television animation many featuring violent or highly sexual material and broadcast duringlate-night hours has played a part in limiting the audience and making both marketing and merchandising of anime-related products difficult.

Yoshihiko Noda, director of the media content division for ad agency Asatsu-DK, buys TV time slots for popular family programs such as "Doraemon" and "Crayon Shin-chan." He said these trends were a relatively recent phenomenon.

"The demographics of anime fans began shifting seven to eight years ago. Those who grew up watching cartoons became older, and began craving more 'otaku' (geek) and adult content," Noda said, noting such animation is mainly produced for DVD sales, with the late-night shows usually consisting of only 13 episodes used as bait to draw viewers into buying the full DVD set that comes with increased content and special features.

This lack of mainstream acceptability in anime content, combined with expensive title licenses and the exploding popularity of video-sharing sites, has helped erode the industry's distribution market in the West.

"Anime-related profits in the United States, especially DVDs, are dwindling," said Keisuke Iwata, director of animation channel AT-X.

"Thanks to megahits such as 'Evangelion' and 'Pokemon,' Japanese animation has fared well in the past. But it has already maxed out as an export industry," Iwata explained, adding that besides the lack of big-name titles and a decrease in overseas airplay in recent years, the greatest obstacle lies in the illegal Internet sites that provide free content.

"These sites upload programs almost immediately after they are broadcast in Japan," accompanied with "fan subs" English subtitles translated by fans," Iwata said. "This is causing a very big dent in sales."

To counter the trend, TV Tokyo tied up with popular San Francisco-based animation-sharing site Crunchyroll in January, offering some of TV Tokyo's popular titles in advertisement-free, high-quality format with subtitles for a monthly fee of $6.95.

Yukio Kawasaki, manager of TV Tokyo's animation business department, said the move was an attempt to create a legitimate distribution channel between animation producers and overseas fans, as well as a way to send out a message.

"Animation isn't free. It's the product of hard work and a lot of money, and we cannot continue producing quality content without the financial help from fans," Kawasaki said, explaining that if the strategy succeeds, they could expand by selling DVDs and comic books on the site, "like Amazon.com," and establish a valid business model.

Kawasaki said they have signed up more than 10,000 fee-paying members since the tieup began Jan. 8 and hope to reach 50,000 by the end of this year.

"We are seriously concerned that the industry will not survive if things go on like this," he said, acknowledging that whether their new plan succeeds or not, the structural issue undermining the industry will still exist.

"You've got to really love animation to be in this trade," said Takeo Ide, chief animator for the popular television series "One Piece."

Ide recalled how he used to make 70,000 Yen a month in his rookie years, sharing a cheap apartment to get by before being assigned to draw the more pricey key frames drawings that define the starting and ending points of movements.

Ide's is a success story in an occupation that, according to a study conducted by the Japan Council of Performers' Organization, has an appalling turnover rate of 80 percent.

The study revealed that a single cel on average earns animators a meager 186.9 Yen . Considering how a grunt worker has to fill in 500 in-between cels per month for a television animation series, this means a monthly wage of 94,000 Yen at best for an average of 250 hours of work until an artist gets to handle key frames or storyboards.

With an estimated 90 percent of in-betweens being outsourced overseas a result of the industry trying to squeeze out more content than it can from domestic hands there are also concerns that opportunities to nurture future generations of quality animators are being lost.

"Drawing in-between cels is hard work and it sure doesn't pay much, but it's still an important skill that every animator should learn," said Masayuki Kawachi, president of the All-Toei Labor Union.

Kawachi, who handles special effects at Toei Animation Studio, said that in the current situation, most of such work is done in countries like China and the Philippines.

"And with the recession eating away at production fees and forcing agencies to downsize or go bankrupt, young and aspiring animators can't find places to work," Kawachi said.

Reflecting such times, animation studio Gonzo, a well-known name in the industry, recently confirmed it plans to pare the number of contracted creators from 130 to 30 over the next five years.

The Japan Fair Trade Commission on Jan. 23 released a report on the state of the animation industry, listing several major concerns.

One is the lack of copyrights attributed to production agencies copyrights are divvied up among sponsors, a system widely criticized for robbing the actual creators of any secondary-use benefits, not to mention motivation.

Another is the popular practice of commissioning and recommissioning production work to smaller agencies that often leads to shady transactions.

Kawachi said such issues not new to the industry have largely been ignored in the past but will need to be dealt with one way or another if the industry hopes to remain the dominant force behind the global animation market.

In 2006, Kawachi's union, joined by the Federation of Cinema and Theatrical Workers Union in Japan, presented the culture ministry with a proposal on restructuring the animation industry, outlining main issues and suggesting solutions. Kawachi said they received no response from the government.

Yamaguchi of AJA, who also lectures on animation literacy at Nihon University's law school, predicts that in the end, quality, not quantity, will come to be emphasized.

"When we look at viewer ratings of animated television programs, we notice that the top slot is always dominated by 'Sazae-san,' the only program that is still produced using the traditional hand-drawn method," he said, adding that this trend could also be seen in last year's 15 billion Yen grossing hit "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea," a hand-drawn movie produced by Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli.

"In this age of mass production, when most animation is digitized, we need to consider the implications of such data," Yamaguchi said.

"I think we need to think, philosophically, about what our users really want."

Remembering the good old days

2009-03-21T20:20:00.000+08:00

Back then, it was a different deal and experience if you were neighbours.

We used to spend many hours talking to each other across the fence and exchanging news about the happenings in our lives. These days it's merely a nod that's being exchanged.

I still remember that we used to play 'Pokemon' cards with'em, as it was the most popular game/topic to crazy about. But it seem that things have changed after we went to high school. We merely talk to each other, scratch that we not even greeting each other even we head on face-to-face. Well, I can't blame him, I blame the cold blood society of Malaysia.

Due to the increase in crime rate and cases in Malaysia, citizen seem to lost faith of trusting each other. This reflected to the neighbourhood is not neighbourly anymore~ and this is a god damn serious matter.

Imagine this: up to four or five teenagers huddled together on different sides of the fence trying to play card games. While they are having it, each of them having awareness to each other. This is sickening.

In the old days, when raining people will give you a 'safety belt' to your home; Share cookies when they caked; offer some lemonade when you working on the yard. These case are extremely rare to be found in Malaysia now days. What they do now is just give you a cold shoulder when you passed by.

I sure hope that i was born before 90s. I want to taste the sweetness of neighbourly love. I don't want to see security guards, Big Big indestructible platinum gates and fencing all over the neighbourhoods. I want to see people are gather to have fun, party and sharing every bits of their lives. I want to have neighbour.

This is all that I can dream of, and this is all that I can do~ Remembering the good old days.

Awsome Site~

2009-03-20T13:41:00.000+08:00

This is the site I found 2 months ago when the famous Crunchyroll started its 'Revolution' by getting the Media legally. Well seriously most of the viewer are dissatisfied by the decision of Shinji(Founder of the Crunchyroll). Much much work by the member of the Crunchyroll are being destroyed~ Members and seriously having hardtime to update the media just to keep the website alive last time, and now the site is getting famous and the hardwork by the member are now down to the drain. T.T

Ok, lets talks about the features of this WebSite. It has almost everything you want for an Anime website. Fast and Furious anime streaming, forum, games, fans art, and much-much more to come. I'm one of the mods there X3Cola. Anyway this website is only 3 months old. XD

So feel free to visit this awsome site.

Frist Day Of the Re-ceated Blog

2009-03-20T13:24:00.000+08:00

Hi all,

This is my re-created Blog. Why I re-created you ask? Well the previous blog is damn messy(full with ads and stuffs). If you have viewed my previous Blog, You might find that the biggest change is the layouts of the Blog, simple and clean~ With pure white snowly like colour and just few of the Widget.

As usual, I'll post updates of almost everything time-to-time of my intrest. You might asking, are you serious with the simple and clean stuffs? Well, no. I cant resist myself from adding tons and tons of webpage, ads, and widget.

Haha, I think thats all for now~ Will post more later~ In the mean time please visit Animedaisuki for free streaming anime. I'm 1 of the mods there. Hope you guyz can support it.

Dean.
