To quote my friend, Tueac: Something interesting behind a boring title. Yes! The list is out! We've been warned SEVERAL times in fact. So now they've stepped it up.
What am I talking about? Heard about HIP? No, not the one that goes crack when you try to sit down. It stands for "Honour Intellectual Property". So that = HIP? A bit lame but they get the message across.
Right. I'm talking about downloading anime from the net. Not direct download. But from torrents. The list is out on the list of anime titles that are licensed in Singapore. Where? Here!
A glance though the list and the first question one would ask is: THEY ARE LICENSED?!?! The next question: If they are licensed where can they be found?!? Fact is, dear people, the titles which are licensed in Singapore are just unavailable off the shelves. Meaning they cannot be bought! If they can be bought, they will usually follow the norm and will sub in CHINESE and dub (if available) in CHINESE.
CHINESE!!! Not being racist at all here but DO they realize that not ALL of the people who watch japanese anime or japanese/korean/cantonese drama are Chinese people? The basic reason that I download these anime is because They are only available in Chinese. A language which I HAVE studied despite it NOT being my 2nd language. HECK its not even my 3rd! I'm a Malay. A Malay person that loves other things that the soppy romance drama on Suria.
One example is the not that recent sale of Deathnote Movie by Poh Kim. Yes, I've watched the movie on screen. Therefore I want to buy it a copy to watch in the comfort of my own home. BUT! Its only subbed in CHINESE!!! It has... wait for it... Chinese DUBBING!!! BAH! I cannot even enjoy the movie that way. I cannot enjoy any movie if I do not understand it.
So my point. If you have it licensed, get it done so that many people if not ALL can understand it. Get it done with good quality. Get it ON THE SHELVES so that people can buy it.
Odex, if you ever come across this post, Great job so far but I'm waiting for more DVDs to appear, Thank you.
Keep on smiling

Synopsis: Parfum Extrait 0
Its been a long time since the last update! I've been rather slacking after the exams! XD Reading manga, watching anime, drawing stuff! Seems like I've been rather busy instead of lazy! Than again I've gotta start on my costume! ^_^ Now if only my monetary funds can cover me well enough... *cries*
Anyway, right now lemme give you guys a synopsis of one of the manga I've been reading: Parfum Extrait 0 by Kaori Yuki
It is said that by looking into another's eyes you can tell much about a person. So does one's scent. This manga is a one shot complete manga recently translated by Chuang Yi, written and drawn by the artist of Fairy Cube, Kaori Yuki.
This is a manga about an expert perfumer (read: not Perfume peddler), Kanade Saikawa, who is able to remember and distinguish every scent and odour he has smelt before. The fragrances he create goes with the person's personality and style making each of it unique to the person. It is a mask the fragrance it, but it never hides the heart of one who wears it.
The first story is of one of his customer who was rumoured to be harrassed by an unknown man thought to be one of the Yakuza. Body guards for the girl has not deterred the man from the girl. It is then known that the girl is missing from the mansion and that her mother was gone overseas. By chance, he had stumbled onto the scent he created on the streets, but it was tainted with the scent of "Death". By using his nose to follow the unique scent that he created for the girl he found himself at a rundown building filled with the choking scent of roses. It leads to a bigger story than just a missing girl from the streets.
The second story is of Kanade's Past. Approached by a magazine, about a popular internet rumour of the "Perfume of Death", he tries to explain that its impossible for a scent to kill somebody. It was until a person who bought such a bottle of perfume from an online shop died shortly after she opened the bottle he did not believe such a rumour. But with his nose, he caught the slight scent of almonds beneath the fragrance which he identified as his "Felicia no. 8". Was it murder? or accidental suicide? Afterall, the perfume he created was discontinued about 2 years ago. Read the story which follows Kanade's past regarding a love triangle and death.
The third story is of how a fragrance can cover up memories if it causes such a deep impression to a person. Perfumes can also form false memories to mask the harsher reality to the person in concern. Be mesmerised as Kanade does his magic using his Fragrance Organ to uncover the truths beneath the false.
Overall, the manga is a nice short volume with beautiful detailed artwork that is characteristic of Kaori Yuki. Good for those who are looking for a short yet meaningful read into the world of perfumers and those affected by them.
Rating: 7.0/10
Rather, now i'd like to apologize for my broken English! Seems to be a long time since I've actually read something that is not a graphic novel... Help me...

I'm bored...
Honestly now... The person who came up with the concept of "Exams" obviously had something against kids. Or at least a sadist... ARGH!!!! I hate this!
Yesterday was Applied hydro. Learning about water cycle yadda yadda. Today is Money! Econs and Finance! After learning that I've failed the last quiz for this module I better buck up! Oh boy! My mind's gonna burst tomorrow!
On another note, I just whiled my time away just now doodling on my notes! (Wow! What a surprise... >_>) For a picture of it.. go to my dA!!! *shameless plug?*
>>DeviantArt loves you!<<

At school
Day: Monday
Date: 09/04/2007
Exam ETA: exactly 2 WEEKS!!!!
Currently at school accessing from a computer. Just bought 2 books from popular (better late than never!) and a long overdue green highlighter. My old one is dying but enjoys a very long life!
Was late to class just now. Why? Came out early, caught an early (relative to my usual) train... And got stuck between Admiralty and Woodlands~~. Why? "This train will be delayed due to an accident. We apologise for any inconvenience caused." >_< WOODLANDS!!!! WOODLANDS!!! PEAK HOUR!!!! Bloody heck I know that the current trend for easy suicide is dropping yourself onto the train tracks but forget your selfish self and at least go at OTHER times than the peak hours!! Your selfishness brings woe to most others who DON'T know you, don't WANT to know you, have OTHER things which are more worthy of their time then YOU!
Okay I'm being an asshole here. But I JUST DON'T CARE. Call me insensitive, thick-skinned etc whatever! I do not care WHY you have to commit suicide. Not many others care else well. Because, when you're dead, you're DEAD. You can't change anything else. It takes guts to go on living! So Go! Shoo! Go back to your life! No matter how miserable, it will take a good turn sooner or later!
Now, unless the fall-into-the-tracks is a total accident or a homicide, that's my $0.02.
