My family and I went to this village of the fairies just to appreciate their magic creation, ‘The flashing Christmas tree’, even though it’s not Christmas yet. These so called faeries were fireflies or ‘Kelip Kelip’ in Malaysian language where it means ‘to twinkle’. We need to ride a sampan so that we can get near enough to have a sight of it. It was a lucky day because there was new moon and no rains. This amazing phenomenon is special here in Kampung Kuantan, where these fairies, synchronize their light emissions precisely.

Eternity of Love
“Trust is the ingredient for the eternity of love”
This was the words by Tsukushi Makino [Inoue Mao] from the movie of Hana Yori Dango Finale. After waiting for half a year finally I managed to get the DVD for this great drama, Hana Yori Dango which also known as Boys over Flowers. It consists of season 1, season 2 and grand finale, a movie. The great part was the proposal of Domyouji Tsukasa [Matsumoto Jun] to his beloved, Tsukushi Makino. Just when I thought there was merely an ordinary proposal, suddenly there was a crowd of countless people share their joy with them. It’s hard to explain it so if you want to know, please watch the last episode of the season 2.

Black or White
As many people know, Cyber Oro do has a function namely Score Estimation and what distinguished it from other GO* servers was it can make score estimation while the game is going. I used it often and I know that was not a thing a Dan player should do.
What really happen was I’m using white and when I press the score estimator I’ll automatically thought that my opponent was white and hence I thought I was behind because of the komi. I tried very hard to chase after the points and in the end of it I thought I was losing one point on the board. As the game end I realized that I’ve the color disorder again. The reason for this was I’m using black too much in the few previous games.
I hope that this won’t happen in the future games, especially tournament time because I’ll make some unreasonable moves to invade which will probably cause me the game.
REF:
- Nigiri is a Japanese GO term [lit. Grab] adopted into English, referring to the procedure common in Japan at the beginning of an even game to decide who will play the black stones.

Audition & Movie
Women: are you the exception ... … or are you the rule? : Men
I’ve watch a movie with my sister today, it was “He’s Just Not that into you” based on a book written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tucillo that was published in 2004. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long, Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kevin Connolly, and Bradley Cooper. It was a great movie, many things that you can learn and adopt it to yourself.
Ben Affleck as Neil Jones was a perfect man there and Jennifer Aniston as Beth Bartlett was someone who really deserves him. The most touching parts of the movie comes from this perfect pair.
Ginnifer Goodwin as Gigi Haim was a woman full of drama-loving in her life, which made her quite unlucky with love but miracles do happen when Justin Long as Alex looks her as an exception. Believe in what you believe and although it was painful sometimes, happiness will be ahead.
Jennifer Connelly as Janine Gunders’ husband Bradley Cooper as Ben Gunders was having an affair with a yoga instructor and aspiring singer, Scarlett Johansson as Anna Taylor. Their relation was a total mess, and it was a good lesson to teach us not to chase after two rabbits at a same time. Must take note of a woman appearances in the movie, her experience was awesome. Not to act as a spoiler, better watch it yourself.
Kevin Conolly as Conor Barry and Drew Barrymore as Mary Harris have a naturally-bond relationship. If you have been trusted in faith, then their sparks will assure you more.
Well, to sum it up, it was a totally amazing movie for me as I love this kind of self-improvement type of movie. There were another two movies which I enjoyed it as much if not more than this: Definitely, Maybe(2008) and LOVE Actually (2003). Hope you’ll enjoy these three movies; it’s really heart-moving where at some point will make you tears.
