i've finished half the book. i guess other than my gabai baachan and harry potter, i havent been reading so seriously. it's by lily franky(中川雅也), an autobiography from all the way when he was 3 to till his mum passed away i think[haha. now im still at when he jus graduated from university]. it's very similar to gabai baachan, talking abt their lives, the struggles and the wonderful woman in their lives. in tokyo tower, it would be his mum.

another thing that is very similar btw tokyo tower and gabai baachan would maybe be their backgrounds. both grew up in the rural areas and moved to tokyo in hope of a better future and of course they were attracted by its lights, its glamour. they both started out very poor, couldnt even find food to eat. however, on the side of gabai baachan, it was more encouraging because the author started with an aim in life when he left his hometown for tokyo, which was to become a comedian. on the other hand, in tokyo tower, masaya has no aim in life. so he was living each day by it is. he does fine arts but does not know what is the thing that he truly want in life [until where i read till la].

this book is adapted into a movie and a drama, both released this year. in the movie version, Joe Odagiri is acting as masaya. been wanting to watch his show, any one of them. trailer on top. it really makes my hair stand, esp after reading half the book already. and 東京にもあったんだ is great as the theme song.

theme song:


東京にもあったんだ
こんなキレイな夜明けが
うれしいな　君に見せたいな
君は元気かな


and hais. a few hours later im gonna noe my results. hais. i really dont dare to see. how.

[haha. i just realised 陳柏霖 has a part in the tokyo tower drama. cool. hahaha.]

spoiler for hallows.


yesterday i was watching the trailer for Order of the Phoenix again (it's damn nice leh) and i found this quite interesting thing in the trailer.

there's this part where hermoine suggested to harry to start DA because "We've got to be able to protect ourselves. If Umbridge refuses to teach us how, somebody will."

and.. it continues to a scene in DA (i think their first lesson) where harry said "Every great wizard in history started out as nothing more than what we are now; if they can do it, why not us?"

and while he was saying there were flashes of scenes of wizards, maybe to illustrate his point.



the people included in the 'great wizards' were dumbledore, voldermort, mad-eye, sirius, snape and lupin.

isnt this very ironic? the very people who were included in the great wizards list end up like that.


delibrate or coincidental?

finally. i finished the book-that-must-not-be-named. actually my enjoyment of book was a little spoilt cos i knew bits of stuff here and there and i could guess most of the surprises in the book. and also chapter33, which was the most touching chapter, wasnt that touching to me. hais hais.

but but but. the chapter that doesnt have a number attached to it did shocked me. esp on the naming of a certain someone and the reassurance from harrypotter when that person was afraid. i tot wat harry said was woah, the best line in the book. that line was very very touching. nagini sucks lah. fat and fat and fat.

a good ending to the seven books. makes u feel peaceful. hahahaha. like how u feel when u finished a good movie.

doe, a deer, a female deer.

sometimes children songs come in handy when u need some help with animals.


talking abt the new hallow book, there's this line from fred which was quite funny,

“Well, who wouldn’t want a nice little holiday after all the hard work he’s been putting in?” asked Fred. “Point is, people, don’t get lulled into a false sense of security, thinking he’s out of the country. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t, but the fact remains he can move faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo when he wants to, so don’t count on him being a long way away if you’re planning to take any risks. I never thought I’d hear myself say it, but safety first!”



the actors from oceans 13. damn funny.

a book which i picked up in taiwan. while looking for yueting's comic we went to this huge books store which had 10% discount for all books so i tot i should jus get something from the store too. i actually wanted to buy the 华丽一族 which is a story on this huge family/bunch of people who does business and talks mainly abt how to invest, how to make money. this bk was recently made into a drama starring takuyakimura.

it was when i saw this bk. they have 3 parts in total and 2 parts were on the top20 chart. and it's really a damn good book. a my kind of book lah. it has many short stories which are all incidents that happen when the author was made to live with his grandma. the format is a little similar to 蔡康永's 那些男孩教我的事 which is like also one of my favourite books.

佐贺的超级阿嬷 was made into a movie. lazy to read then watch it on crunchyroll.
