19th entry - 2 nice anime theme songs

I was in the mood for some "feel good" music and chanced upon these 2 cool theme songs. The first is from one of my favourite anime, D-Grayman. Its the ending theme song for the 8th series/season (not too sure also). Thanks to the wonderful person who uploaded the song to you-tube!!! What I like about it is the uplifting quality of the melody, and superb vocals of the female singer Stephanie (which blends rather harmoniously with the male voice).



The second is from an anime that I would love to watch because the visuals are so appealing. Its dark but cute at the same time, and less gory than the vampire anime I've seen. The lead character reminds me of Morrigan, a female vampire in Marvel vs Capcom (an arcade game that I was crazy about 10 years ago when I was still schooling...).



Some pictures of Morrigan ... she's old but she's HOT!!! Wish i were like her ...

18th post - An end and a new beginning

"When one door closes on you, another door opens for you."

Three weeks after the end of my relationship with Sam, I made some new friends and got reacquainted with an old one. I also had time to attend church, after a long "sabbatical" from church.

At a church retreat to Tioman Island, I got to know some cool new friends. My roommate on the trip was a sweet bearded man - handsome, musically talented, a divorced grandfather from the US who was in Singapore to market his children's educational programme. My travelling companion was a friendly lady who enjoys snorkeling and adventure. We stayed at the Berjaya Beach resort, which had comfortable rooms (with bathtub) and well-equipped facilities. The food was quite good - there was even a BBQ dinner on the first night. I enjoyed a 60 minute detox facial (using clay mask) for RM160.

Last week, I learnt how to cook assam fish with a friend. He brought me to a wet market near his residence to buy the ingredients and then we prepared the dish at his apartment. It was quite a lot of work, but our efforts paid off as we were successful in cooking a tasty assam fish meal.

The messages delivered at Church were uplifting - reminders of who God means to us, and what we have to be thankful for. Many of the youngsters are very talented - one of them is one of 10 tenors in Singapore, another knows 10 different martial arts, and another is the art director of The Necessary Stage. I see a great future in our church - if these talents stay in Church and glorify God with their unique gifts and abilities.

At the time of writing this entry, I am undergoing 2 weeks of in-camp training, doing the most enjoyable activities that could ever be experienced by a national serviceman - swimming in low-chlorine pools, eating delicious glutinous rice balls at the canteen, chilling out in the library and jogging on a nature track. All in the name of serving the nation ... hahaha

Best of all, I have moved on.
