CONAN

Not, it's not about the comic/manga, or the anime…

It's about the real human version of the  movies,

Movie 1, 2 to 3,

Movie 1, 2 - Shun Oguri, and whoever there…

Movie 3 - Mizobata Junpei and whoever there…

Well… I've to say, say, say, cos,

After I saw movie 3, that's it…

I was like… arrgh…

It's not like I dislike mizobata junpei, or whatever, but then,

It's also not like shun oguri's the best person to portray shinichi,

BUT, at least, shun oguri's tall, or… rather long… vertically, somehow, resemble how it is in the manga…

I don't know how the production team select the so-called "right actor/actress" to portray these shows… adaptation from manga, especially those famous ones…

But when it gets to movie 3, ie. mizobata junpei,

That's it…

Like I said, it's not like I dislike him,

I like him, a nice little young policeman in Shinzanmono,

But then, when I watched movie 3, I thought, something wrong…

That's it, he's SHORT… maybe in real life he's not THAT short, but then, after seeing shun oguri, seeing him, as shinichi, it's a HUGE contrast…

And of course, I don't even wanna bother to mention about whoever who portrays Mori Ran,

See… I actually like the Mori Ran in the comic,

Clean and clear, sweet and understanding, straightforward, no sappy sappy…

But then, 2 generations, irregardless it's Kurokawa Tomoka, or Kutsuna Shiori…

My goodness~~

Both I feel like giving them a slap, in fact, I dislike kurokawa tomoka more, for some reason, just like Suzuki Anne, for some reason, I think both of them, have such a common look as to be a japanese actress… yes, may sounds a little bit harsh, but then, seriously… their look is just sooooooooooo "not appetizing"…

On the other hand,

I thought, from movie 1-3,

Both Jinnai Takanori who portrays the biggest moron in the story, ie. Mori Kogoro, and the inspector, by Ibu Masato, are pretty close to how the comic is… especially Jinnai Takanori… ^_^

Anyway… just some of my opinion…

There you go,

1st generation,

Shun Oguri and Kurokawa Tomoka,

2nd generation, (goodness!)

Tomato

Tomato, yes tomato…

Pasta - tomato based, marinara, bolognese, tomato based…

Twisties - tomato flavoured, yew… I can't take the other flavours, regardless how nice it is that you tell me…

Fries - must eat with ketchup, no ketchup, nah… fries won't taste nice, don't give me other sauces… no matter how much you like those sauces…

Sames goes with potato chips - yes, I can take sour cream and onion, but I'll love it very much, if you give me tomato flavour…

Other than that??

Well… funny thing is, I love all tomato flavoured food, but not the tomato itself, especially when it's badly prepared… ie. sour, sour and sour only…

Ok, I like cherry tomato…

But then, baked tomato? Not really… stir-fried tomato…

Hm… maybe I shall try a better type of tomato...

The Depressed...

ok... lately I heard of someone, having depression...
well... it's not like I don't feel compassionate about this person, but then, well... since this is a person who's famous of lying, lying and lying, boasting all the time,
I'm just not sure, if this is just another act that, she's putting up...
and that, to show a little bit of "compassionate" per se, I won't mention who this person is... ^_^

see... later, then, I was so "joboh", that, I went to read some psychology/mental health related topic...
ooh... then, I learnt something,
apparently, yes, somebody who loves to lie, and makes up story... is either already having some sort of depression, or WILL have depression eventually...
cos, when somebody who's a chronic liar, (ok, some psychological term) who basically simply lie about anything, without feeling any guilt, and out of convenience, and habit... will one day, realized that, it's all JUST A LIE... and that's when depression set in...
and the root cause?? well... low self-esteem,
they lie to get attention,
they lie so that, people think that, their life's so interesting...

well... seriously, there're people, for some reason (seriously again, I don't really know why) think that, other's life's just soooooooooooo interesting, and that, their own life's nothing happening... and therefore, they dropped into the deep trough in emotion, by lying, by making up stories...

ok... all these traits, jive with what I've observed, known, and recognized of this very person that I've mentioned... and that, she's said, having depression...
still of course, while others probably trust her story, I'll still have some sort of reserve... cos, like I said, this person's chronic liar...

anyway, we're out of each other life now... and that probably you think that, I shouldn't bother...
well... in a way, but then, I do have to take note of myself... as lying, does lead to depression, or vice versa, that's worth taking note...
and of course, my opinion?? whoever encourages this person's lying habit, shall hold part responsibility...
cos, when somebody's building up his/her own dream world, ie. lied world, fantasy land... and that, you actually condone it, indirectly encourage it... maybe you didn't know, or maybe you've already know, that, some part of this person's a lie, or brag, or boast... and it's become habitual, and yet, you don't point it out... you're helping the behaviour to be getting worse, aren't you??

and worst of all is,
one day, you're the one, who actually point it out to this person, that HEY! EVERYTHING'S A LIE!!
imagine??

if that's me??
yes, I'LL BE DEPRESSED!
(that's what I mean, I do need to take note as well... for whoever I care, I love, and maybe, myself...)

Backpacking

I love backpacking, though, I won't dare to claim that, I'm one hardcore backpacking person...
well... only a few points, I like planning my own trip, and I love staying in hostel... hostelworld.com is my favourite accommodation booking websites...
I've joined tour before, mainly those day-tour, well... if it's those city tour, where you hop on and off the bus, it's still not too bad, while those guided tour... well, I've joined 2, mainly in Suzhou and Hangzhou... I've to say, it's not THAT bad... but afterall... I hate waiting for the other people, or, mainly not knowing what's ahead, and that, I've to pay full attention to what the tourguide's saying, right?? if you've paid some $$ to join the tour, you kinda think that, if youi don't know what the tour's about, that's a waste of time and money...
but if you've planned a trip on your own, probably you'd had known that, what's ahead and where you're heading, and what you'll be seeing, or tasting..., that's what I like...
Anyway... I've come across an article, (if I've not remembered wrongly, it's by Betty Wu, 吳淡如) that... if you'd like to see if a relationship will work, go for backpacking... just go for a trip...
Frankly, a couple of my friends, both he and she, have done backpacking before, and they're kinda together, married... some with kids, some just started the family... I guess, if any couple who can survived a backpacking trip, they'll be able to survive a marriage... IF you've done a backpacking trip before, you'll know what I mean...
A backpacking trip ain't easy... you don't get to stay in posh hotels, get all the good service, you'll have to really plan ahead, and be able to tackle the obstacles... like looking for cheap/decent places for dinner/lunch, looking for cheap/decent transports to take you to the next destination, if the man/woman next to you, will only BE WITH YOU when everything is nice and good, when everything's well taken care off... better think twice... if he/she can't even take a hardship, together with you, or, will keep on arguing in the trip, you know, this person, will likely blame you, or complain much, when life isn't smooth... isn't it??
I won't say, if backpacking works for a couple, ie. happily toured different places, then, the marriage will work out, but then, I've always thought that, it's worth a try...
I've read news, where after the 311 tsunami in Japan, the divorce rate went up... cos, during the disaster, a lot of husbands ran out of wherever they are, and left the wives and children behind... yes, those women, after surviving, realized that, they don't need this type of husbands.. (tell me who needs?)
of course, I'm not sure if really I'm in such disaster scene, what'll happen to me, or to him, or our child... but then, we've always wish that, we'll always be together, be it live or death... just together...

she wants to sleep without me???

Ya, seems like it's been a loooooooooooong time I've not talked about baby in this blog, ie. english… mostly in my chinese blog… ^_^

Anyway,

Since I'm lazy to type/think in chinese, so, I must as well…

Just now,

She said that, she wants to sleep in the sofa, settled herself in, with my towel as her blanket, surrounded herself with all her soft toys, (gifts from friends mostly)

She tucked herself in nicely…

So, I was thinking, hm… if she can fall asleep on her own, that'll be a good change, for both of us, (ya, in a way)

I told her, I'll be going back into the bedroom and sleep, if she wants to come into the room, then, she should come in, walk slowly and carefully…

Leaving her with him, in the living room, him… in front of the PC…

I purposely put on our small table lamp in the room, (usually it's totally darkness)

Then, I thought I shall fall asleep, before both of them come join me…

But I heard her happily singing and chitchatting with him, not showing a sign/intention of sleeping, (hey!! It's already past midnight, girl!)

And also, I just realized,

I've been having her with me, beside me, closed to me, attached to my boobs… (yes, she's kinda 90% weaned now… usually, she'll fall asleep on her own, and just this week, finally, I've seen/experienced baby sleeping through the night… ya, during the transistion, ie. weaning, ie. boobs to no boobs… she's taking her own sweet time to get used to the decreasing in my milk supply, and frequently getting up in the night, to look for the never-satisfying booby milk… it was tough, for both of us…)

For the past 2 years plus… without fail…

THEN… I don't think, I can sleep without her…

Anyway, I know very well, I can't sleep if she's not sleeping…

I've a sleep problem, too, right?? ^_^ sweet one, to me, though…

After a short while, feeling somewhat lonely in the room by myself,

I came out to call her in,

She's getting him to pat her to sleep, in the sofa…

Of course, he wish, he can go back to the big nice comfy bed, but she didn't want him to go…

Then, we've to try using the tough way now…

Off the light, off the aircon, off the fan…

And both getting in the room,

With slight effort…

Finally, she's in…

Ya, this woman! She's in fact very tired,

Our friends came over for dinner, though she didn't really play with their boy, but then, she was happily running around, "mopping" the floor by crawling around, with her soft toy underneath her tummy…

However…

Well… seeing her in such a high mood, yes, though past midnight…

We didn’t have the heart to force her to go to bed, (ya I know, what "bad" parents)

At the same time, this was the first time I heard her saying that, she wanna sleep in the sofa, outside in the living room, we just wanna go with the flow, to see what she's in mind…

Nah… I think, she's just doing it for fun…

Cheeky girl...

more Kamiki Ryunosuke

You want more Kamiki Ryunosuke??

Since I've written quite a bit about him, oops, it's in chinese,

神木隆之介

This is when I saw him, many many years ago, when he's so tiny and small, and cute, yes, if I can have such a cute brother.. (not that, my brothers were not cute, ok?)

"INSTALL"

And now??

Wow!! He really has grown up WELL~~~

Some fan's compiled version/video:

No Sixth Sense

Sixth sense?

You have? I don't,

You want? No I don't…

Life should be just as it is, not knowing what's tomorrow, not knowing what's next, and every moment, treasured…

Sixth sense?

If I have, the afternoon my mother left us,

I wouldn't be enjoying that peaceful afternoon, colouring my hair for a small photo session,

And half way in the midst of the process,

The bad news come…

Ever since, I've never really "seen" my mother,

As what my little brother's little girlfriend had... (yes, she's sixth sense)

Have you ever really made plan for yourself?

I mean long term plan,

And how many of you have really achieved your plan?

Maybe you have, but no, I don't…

I've heard there're people who'll like to achieve certain things, or be certain people, own certain props, and so on… by certain age…

Their life's as planned, just as planned, nothing  more, nothing less…

Interesting?? Now, don't introduce me to this sort of people, they should be out of my radar…

I don't think I can bear talking to a person, who doesn't have hope, and faith… no, they don't, that's why they can only live with their own plan…

Another reason being,

Oops… I've always failed in my own planned…

Failed in a way, but end up even better in a way,

Who's to give credit?? God of course!!!!!!

I've tried making study plan before, but it always ended up as,

I spent time on it, and wasted time at the same time…

After a couple of rounds, I gave up planning…

Then, I gave up planning…

I live life as it is,

Thinking, praying, thinking and praying…

I'm not sure if you'd like to know what's going to happen in the future…

But I don't, if I do know, I don't think, I'll want to live anymore…

What's there in life for you to hope for, pray for, endure, and learn???

Haha, even though you may not see any connection,

But I like this phrase,

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference." ~ Reinhold Niebuhr

And lately, I found a quote for engraving on our ipad,

"If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve." ~ Mother Teresa

Ya… funny, not enough space, so, the engraving is only 2/3 of the sentence...
