I was back in my hometown, which is also known as the rainy town. Without fail, it has been raining everyday since i've arrived last week. My friend in Brazil said it must be one heck of a weird weather to rain everyday, but i was assuring her that it'd be totally weird otherwise, not only because it is the monsoon season currently.
Let me explain abit about the geography of my hometown. On the west it is surrounded by the Titiwangsa mountain range, or more specifically, by Maxwell Hill. And far off the east will be the melacca straits, so the wind blown in from the sea will be trapped by the hills and thus the clouds carried along it. Then condensation happens so often that we could have rainfall at any moment of the day, even in the afternoon, when the sun is shinning perfectly bright.
It was even a sport, or i should say a gamble, to guess how much rainfall for the moment of the day and of course the one with the closest bet will hit the jackpot. I dun know if it is still on now that we have Toto, Magnum and other lottery games but the probability of winning is about the same for any of them, because though it is almost guaranteed to rain, the range of time and the amount of rainfall is unpredictable, as in, you can have rainfall out of the blue and then clears off in a blink of an eye.
Anyway, it is really nice having some rain each day, be it a light drizzle in the morning, passing raindrops in the afternoon or even a heavy downpour that last for a whole day. The haze will clear off too after a rainpour, tho altogether it was not as bad as in Malacca or KL. Maybe it's just that i've gotten used to rainny weather, since i've been living here for my past 19 years. That's why raindrops splattering on the roof proved to be my lullaby while killing off my roommate's sleepiness in Malacca.
It was not until a few days after that i've gotten myself soaking wet under the rain. In the afternoon, i was running an errand for my Mom, to run round the other shop lot behind Mom's shop to photostat some papers. Just when i was reaching the photostat shop it poured cats and dogs. some of the papers were splattered with raindrops but not too bad. After getting the papers done and putting them in a plastic bag, i started running back, and i was soaked thoroughly. But what got me cursing was that as soon as i hit home base, the sky was crystal blue and the sun shone mildly, as if it never rained a few minutes ago. I should have waited but who could predict its lifespan? At least i get to go home instead of staying back for more work :p *bricked*
Well, This morning it was mildly drizzling, and i slept till it was almost 8am. Yes, for those who thought that i had a typo in the last sentance, trust me. I've been waking up at abit off 7am everyday to go jogging with my aunt. damn everyone said i've gain weight.. orz. Have to jog some of the pounds off before i engage myself in more eating. I really hope that the rate of exercizing can burn off more calories at the rate that i'm eating now :p
So lets sum up my 1 week of holiday/laziness: i've finished reading Angels and Demons, as well as When the Wind Blows. I've downloaded more of the new series of animes, naming a few: Dgrayman, PumkinScissors, Red Garden, HatarakiMan, Black Lagoon, Bartender, Chevalier, NHK, Nighthead Genesis. I haven't really touched my jap pass year papers, or mangas that i've downloaded long time ago. But i got to watch my sis playing DoC and Vincent really need some hair treatment cos his strains of hair are poking out and resemble some deadly harpoons XD *killed by vincent fans*
And that's it. will be catching up with long lost hometown frens next week and also get some jap homework done. Gambarimasu! I will try not to look fat when i come back *bang wall*

十月新番! XD
Yes we are in the mid of finals and here i am downloading this month's new anime series. So here are the ones that i downloaded:
D.Gray-Man
Kyaaaa.. have been waiting for this for so long >w< saving it for the last exam XD watched the op tho. jz ok. the anime style not much different from the manga which is a good thing XD ALLEN!!!! *bricked*
Deathnote
hmm.. the op looks creepy. haven't watched it yet but i hope it's better than the live action movie :p
Red Garden
the style is really different and my sis dun like it XD it's about a suspicious suicide of a girl while 4 other girls in the same school, yet hangs out with different gangs were mysteriously kidnapped and return back home with no single memory of where they were the night before. seems like a scifi mystery thriller series from Gonzo.
Pumkin Scissors
I'm really taken aback by the name (and the logo), thinking it must be some stupid anime at first but the story is really interesting. Settings in post war and the story is about a military troup lead by a girl (who reminds me alot of saber orz) and this mysterious scar-face hulky guy fighting against ex-soldier villains who used to be in troup 901XXX which is formed secretly by the government last time. That huge guy who looks meek and quiet is an ex-solder from that troup too, and he's a killing machine when he lights up his eerie blue lantern. Must watch XD
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge
or better known as Perfect Girl Revolution. I was laughing so hard when i watch the first epi. A must follow for comedy and shoujo romance XD
Shounen Onmyouji
i dunno from which this anime is adapted from, novel or manga. anyway i din read any of them so cant' say much. the art looks ok and i've always heard of this title before the anime comes out, so will watch it after finals.
Ghost Hunt
This one is a Horror story. that's all i know XD the first story is about some haunted mansion. will watch it in daytime i think XD
La Corda D`Oro ~primo passo~
Bishi alert!! Bishi alert!! XDDD 7 guys! 1 girl. tough choice. (no one ask you to choose la) *bricked* its setting is in a music school. So those who like classic music and bishis shouldn't miss this i guess :p
Marginal Prince
I am not against BL but this is jz too... my sis said the guys there are low quality bishis and that coming from her, i guess i wont be watching XD
*rants* that green head guy jz sing in the middle of no where, expressing his sorrow, and suddenly he's in white shirt all wet and sexy, seen/stalked by that main chara who got so touched by the song and upset.. wat's this? urgh. it's over dramatic and fake. will not say anything more about it >_<
Lovely Idol
the girls are all moe. happy? i dun like it tho i'd like to have its OST. insert songs are nice XD
And that's about it. I will download black lagoon 2 too, but since i haven't finish watching the first series, i'll go home then watch watever my sisters had downloaded. So anything else you guys wanna intro? :D
*edit* today's line is sucky. will upload pics soon..
oh. i jz change my blog to beta version.. google is indeed dominating everything now :p
