Stormy Night 狼羊物语

This is a wonderful cartoon that teaches us the values of friendship. I borrowed the DVD from my nephew , Kenrick Koh last week.I was in tears watching the touching ending.I never thought i would cry watching cartoon again.The last cartoon that made me cry was watching ' Lion King '. LOL Don't ask me why i cry, i just feel emotional watching those touching scenes.

This is the synopsis from Wikipedia :P

A goat named Mei wanders into a barn during the night for shelter from a storm. In the barn, the goat finds another refugee. The two can neither see nor smell each other, yet huddled together fending off the cold, they begin to talk and eventually develop a friendship. They decide to meet at a later time using the password "one stormy night". The next day, when the two meet, Mei learns that his companion from the night before was a wolf named Gabu. Despite the fact that the two are naturally supposed to be enemies, they share a bond and begin meeting regularly. However, Mei's flock and Gabu's pack eventually find out about this and forbid their friendship. Mei and Gabu, hoping to preserve their friendship, cross a river during a storm, hoping to find an "emerald forest" free from persecution for their friendship.

However, Giro, the leader of Gabu's old pack, holds a grudge against all goats, and views Gabu as a traitor to his kind. Giro and his pack go on the hunt to track down the two companions. Gabu and Mei, having reached the summit of a mountain and exhausted from fighting their way through a snow storm, stop and rest. Gabu hears his pack approaching and hides Mei in a nearby cave, ready to defend his goat friend to the death. As he is about to go face the wolf pack, there is an avalanche. The next morning, Mei digs through the snow blocking the cave and sees the "emerald forest" they had been searching for in the distance. However, Gabu has gone missing. Eventually coming across a cave, Mei finds Gabu who has lost his memory of their friendship and the events that took place prior to the avalanche. Gabu taunts Mei as he plans on eating him while waiting for the moon to come out. However, Mei is able to help Gabu remember everything. In the end, Mei and Gabu both enjoy watching the moon as it rises.

And here's the link to the cartoon from Youtube :P Enjoy ~~

Rhythm in Batu Pahat

Went to Grand Sea View Restaurant on the 21st August 2008 with mommy at 7 pm to attend the Chinese High School Musical Concert 2008.Arrived very early and met and had a small chat with the Headmistress of the school who just arrived about the same time as us.We went in first and handed over the 2 tickets which was courtesy of mommy's colleague.Then we were each given a bottle of mineral water and a small booklet after which we were being ushered to our place. ( Gave me the feeling of like in the cinema *giggles* )
The musical concert started at 8 pm sharp with the Headmistress giving a welome speech followed by the ribbon cutting and gong beating ceremony.After that 2 master of ceremony came on stage to introduce the programme with one speaking in Mandarin and the other in English.Those were the performances that night - 24 drum ( 24节令鼓 ) , Choir, Chinese Orchestra , Guitar rendition of the song ' Take me home, Country Road' ，Stringed instruments group present those classics like ' Finale from Symphony no:5 ' ， Solo singing, Wind instruments group,and the orchestra music group (harmonious combination of chinese musical instruments and the western symphony).
The song i liked best was from the 24 drum combined with the Chinese musical instrument performing the famous Kitaro's song- Matsuri. Every performance received thunderous applause and the mini concert ended at near 10 pm.

7th Month Prayer

It's that time of the year again..... Ghost month..... Mommy's association will held the prayers ritual at the 追远词 at the back of the association and 普渡 celebration at front.Should be very noisy at night but luckily it's not near those housing estate ^^ Think those 歌台 singer also disappeared coz i am very sure i haven't heard their muffled faraway voices for 2-3 years already.
Anyway, mommy and I decided to go early to pay our respects to my maternal great grandmother, grandfather and grandmother at the 追远词 there.Heard that the ceremony only starts at 8 pm and lots of the committee members already grumbling because late means the feast also will start late :/
So when it's around 8 pm and the deputy president of the association together with some others association's member had arrived, the ceremony started with the lion dance ( lion paying respect to the ancestor altar and 采青 ), then the member's paying respect and then feasting time :P
Mommy wants her picture taken and sent to Australia for my relatives to see ROFLMAO

Love Charity Concert in Malaysia 9th Aug 2008

Went to the concert with mommy in Chinese High School on Saturday night to attend the Love Charity Concert by Soprano Emi Mori and pianist accompanist Prof.Shiro Yamamoto.I was reluctant to go at first because hearing soprano singing isn't exactly my cup of tea. But out of curiousity when i heard that the Japanese lady could converse in Mandarin, i agreed to attend the concert :P Arrived at CHS at around 7.30 pm and those person-in-charge sticked a sticker to our attires.The concert took place in Chinese High School Lecture Hall on the 2nd Floor at 8pm.The concert was organized by 峇株吧辖中华公会合唱团。
Soon, the hall was full of people coming to attend the concert and i wonder if their purpose is the same as mine ^^ just to see the renowned Japanese lady. The concert began at around 8.10 pm when the Soprano Emi Mori and Pianist Accompanist Prof.Shiro Yamamoto made their appearances. The concert started right away when Prof. Shiro hit a note and Emi started belting out song after song with a break of 5 mins between 4 songs.
Soon, it's intermission time of 15 mins after the 11th song and i told mommy i couldn't understand what she sang unless that is a Mandarin song lolz. As you know, soprano always sings in those foreign language that you couldn't comprehend at all =.= So actually it's a bit of a torture ....at least to me.Emi couldn't speak Mandarin at all while it's Prof.Shiro who could speak Mandarin =.= His Mandarin however contains a heavy Japanese accent and we had to strain our ears to hear his Mandarin properly :/ Emi however can speak a little English to all of us ^^ But i couldn't agree more that Emi looks gorgeous in person so it's a pity that she made a quick exit as soon as the concert ended.

Back again

It rained today for the almost the whole morning from 10am to 12pm ++. We had to cancel our plan to go out when we saw the dark dark sky glooming at a distance.It certainly didn't cheer me up even a tiny bit, thanks to the dark sky and heavy rain.

And like the weather, my mood's been gloomy lately, too.Don't know why it's like that..... I admit i am restless recently mostly pondering about my future,my finance status and trivial issues.That's why my blog's posts was decreasing at an alarming rate.There's not much happening lately anyway.

The only thing that cheered me up at least a little was when i am listening to the songs that my net friend from Hong Kong, Ben 哥 sent me last night at the moment.I enjoyed chatting with him over the net and he never failed to cheer me up unknowingly.He's been my net friend for about 2 years, i think.Told me he wasn't working yesterday because of a typhoon in HK.And we ended up sending songs to each other via Skype.Told me he liked 光亮's 童话 and i sent him the latest songs from 光亮's 不会分离 and 双子座.The songs he sent to me was all those 失恋's song.Asked him why all songs he sent was 失恋's song and he said that's because he's never 失恋 before lolz. Great sense of humour huh? Perhaps that's what attracted me to chat with him. He even planned to sing Cantonese opera 化蝶 with me over Skype last time roflmao.He's a great guy with a great sense of humour. ^^
