Hiroshima

Welcome to 広島(Hiroshima), or 'Wide Island' in English. I'm supposed to go to Taiwan for my summer hols, but somehow, I just can't find the right time. So here I am, in the piece of land which so happen to have a nice sunny weather one morning 62 years ago. The landmark where the most disastrous weapon in world have ever been used!

So, here I am with my ex-roomie(again?). This trip was planned on the phone, took 15 minutes, and what do I know, Randy was on his way to Nara for the 4th time just a day after the call.

We left to Hiroshima from Nara just like that 2 days later. I just like it when things are made so spontaneously. No plans, no headings, just a train ticket and thats it! No worries about time schedule, date lines or 'must go here & must visit there' syndrome.

Stopped by at Kobe(Kobe Beef anyone?) for some Chinese food which was like months since I ever had a decent Chinese meal. The entire journey took me about 7 hours, which is VERY near by Japanese standards.

Checked in the Hiroshima Youth Hostel in the evening and called it a day.




The 2nd day's event started with the visit to the all so popular Peace Park Memorial Museum where all this pictures were taken. Its actually a remembrance to all of us war lovin' ppl about the suffering and pain and blablabla! There were a few crying 'ah ma's inside. Its supposed to have made us feel gloomy & sad inside, but guess what? Neither the both of us were in any 'gloomy' mood. Must be cos the Japs took Randy's grandpa's bicycle 65 years ago and I just love the fact that there used to be such a great war(I'm a saddist till this day lol!). No bad mood, but tons of stupid jokes about this bombing.....cruel ppl!


The night was spent watching fireworks which so happen to happen at a place we planned to visit the next day. Since no plans=anything goes, we went there eventually. This is the 1st(and only?) 花火大会(Fireworks display) I'm gonna catch this entire summer. Had my 1st 'sardin fish' experience on the train heading there. Too bad that our youth hostel has curfew, so before the grand finale, off we go...back...wouldn't say that it was bad, but why on earth must the stupid hostel have curfew time? WTF, I paid you RM70 and I don't even get my little freedom! Should change your name to 'Hiroshima Warewolf & Cinderella ppl Hostel'.
Anyway, I'm too tired to continue blogging anymore now. I just spent 2 hours typing in Photobucket and guess what, they discontinued their services with Blogspot! 2 hours and X joule of tenaga kinetik lost! Great! Too be continued....

AGAIN?

She can't dance half as well as BoA, she got a crooked tooth & I've seen her on tv just 2 months ago! I'm ADDICTED to her! HELP!!! Maybe cos shes too cute?

From nowhere.....

to Hiroshima tomorrow?

It all happened in a sudden, just after 15 minutes of phone call with my ex-roomie, there goes my 'uninterupted' peace for this summer holidays. I don't know whats nice about Hiroshima besides the Peace Park and the museums. I'm not much of a historian myself, but anything to do with WW2 should be interesting. Besides that, I'm just clueless about Hiroshima. Maybe I should go to any nice beaches ^^ and have a dip while I cleanse my eyes abit.
p.s. One shouln't stay in Hiroshima for too long, if u read your Kimia books, it said that radioactives burrows in the soil for like hundreds & thousands of years! Yeah! Suicide! jk jk

Sinned!

I'm a grown up now. After being through my worst failure and addiction, I'm a changed person now. I won't repeat my mistakes anymore...I'm a man!

What has happened to me for the last few months? Look at the picture to the left, thats where I was for the past 3 months. Knight Online.
This game was & still will be the best game I've ever played in my entire childhood. I'm a high lvled warrior in a grade 1 clan killing other players during my past time while organizing boss hunts and money gathering with my friends from the US, Canada, Sweden, Philipines & Turkey.

This addiction almost killed my life. I stopped going to the gym, stopped socializing in the Msn/Yahoo/Icq/telephone/skype, and most important of all, stopped studying.
"No study = bad results" rule just doesn't seem to bother with me at all. What I cared was just to gather with my bunch of in-game friends and do so much killing as any kid would have dreamt. Exam results were bad. I lost muscle mass :( and some fats :) , sleep for 4~5 hours a day after all the game & homework have been completed.

It stopped.....my life changed when I saw this:


It happened on a friday while I was having my dinner at 10pm(yes, its that late). What caught me at 1st was the beautiful girl in the drama. Deciding that a drama with pretty girls >> guys in shorts sweating out trying to out-punch each other, I stay tuned to it till the end of that episode. Its a typical Japanese love story where good looking guy falls for a cute girls and vice-versa. The 'catch' is that the girl has XP (Xeroderma pigmentosum) disease and she will die soon. He wasn't 100% in love with her at the time he found this out, and against advises from friends, he did anyway. A guy with all to lose and nothing to gain still goes on with the love has really some guts!

So, what am I doing with my life? I'm not gonna die soon(touchwood), nor am I involved in any love where my gf is gonna die or leave to anywhere. Why am I sitting here in front of my computer where life is limited & anything could happen the next day. I've all to lose & nothing to win from playing this game....this is pathetic! Theres no 'guts' losing everything to this game, this isn't love, well, this isn't anything important at all!

Today, I logged in to my game, told my clannies that I'm leaving for good, and left. For good I hope. I know theres a life for me outside there in this world waiting. May it be my school life, social life, love life, sports life a.k.a gym, I'm gonna go for it! I'm gonna spend time on things that I can feel, touch, hold, enjoy, experience, wise up. I'm in for it! I'm a grown up!
Went to the gym today after a 2~3 month hiatus. Starting my long awaited revision tomorrow.

Btw, the show is called A song to the Sun (タイヨウのうた)
And this is the opening scene:
