Mommy's 55th Birthday Celebration! ( Day 1)

This lovely old lady just turned into 55 years old today~ Haha, but actually we celebrated her birthday since yesterday till today, not forgetting Uncle David's 53rd birthday was celebrated too, even though his birthday is actually 30th April. So, maybe is a pre-birthday celebration for him? HAHA!

Few days ago, I decided to buy my favourite cake as mom's birthday cake, I know, being a little bit selfish here xDD But as what the chinese says: 己所不欲勿施于人, which means whatever you dislike, don't give it to people, so I am just practice this virtue by giving people what I like :) Hanish Vanilla is the flavour!

Actually the cakes were bought by Aunt Lai Foong, she wants to make it as a present to both mom and Uncle David. Another flavour of cake I bought (she bought) is Hazelnut World or something hazelnutty?? And then, because is mom's 55th birthday so instead of the normal, boring red candles, I purposely bought number-like candle~

Hanish Vanilla from DePastry! 

Yesterday, Aunt Lai Foong and Lai Wah were the chefs of the day! They cooked at least 5 dishes, and Aunt Lai Wah brought her own homemade pau too! Aunt Lai Ang also came for the dinner. Mom reached home quite late because got replacement class yesterday. By the time they were preparing for dinner, I was having my own sweet nappy time in the bedroom, and I knew mom was back the moment I heard endless laughter downstairs.... Typical Loo's laughter style! When that 4 ladies sat together, that chaotic laughter will come along too xDD

Cousin Yew's daughters, Chloe and Joey came too, as usual, their main purpose is the play with Willson. While we were eating, Chloe and Joey suddenly close their ears, I was like O.O what the hell? Then only they said that the adults are laughing too loud! LOL!

Then we cut cake, sing song, take lots of photos! Chit chat here and there, enjoying the gathering~ Most of them like Hanish Vanilla, I am glad that they like it! Basically the whole 'celebration' is about eating and having fun! Too bad, Bro Teng didn't get to attend because of having a dinner with his fellow alumni of LJMU with Wei Sin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Then, after the dinner, I introduced Kaichou Wa Maid-sama to Sharon and she love it! HAHA! I feel so proud of turning her into a Maid-sama's fan! Sad thing is we were interrupted by the kids all the time... =.=!

Achievement Unlocked!

After downloaded so many songs and 3 piano sheets, I decided to try out one of it. So I picked Yasashi Kimochi from Maid-sama. It is the easiest one among the 3.

Not forgetting, I decided to clear up my folder also. So I basically throw away all the old piano sheets, which is given by people... Mostly songs I am not really interested in. I only left River Flows in You and Canon in D.

Yasashi Kimochi basically means warm/gently atmosphere. In the anime, this music is usually played when Usui and Misaki are having their really sweet moments... The most memorable moment one of course is at the last episode, when they finally confess their true feelings and.... KISS~

I got so frustrated in the beginning because I just can't get the beats right, and always press the wrong key! I told myself, if you can't cope this song, don't talk about the others... I know, I certainly know that there are just too many good musics on the net which I want to try, really badly, but the difficulty level is out of my capability to do so... I took this song as my own exam, for sight-reading and presentation. Is really different from the usual pieces I played.

So far, I played mostly classical period songs, those old but grand pieces from famous composers like Mozart, Beethoven, etc. Those piece are far more complicated from the current age ones. A lot of turnings, dynamics and ornaments.

When I played Yasashi Kimochi, I feel so different. It is actually quite simple. The bass is just major chords and the melody is repeating, The style of the whole song is basically the same. Simplicity is beauty. I love this piece very much. After few hours of practice, I finally can play it! Not mastered, but at least I get the beats and keys right. The finger position troubled me the most in the beginning. Usually in the book, the fingering is given, by if you download pieces from net, it usually won't come with the fingering, you have to figure it out by yourself. So I just try and error lo...

1 down, 2 more to go. Muryoku Koritsu is the 2nd one I downloaded, from Maid-sama's too. Is more complicated one compared with Yasashi Kimochi. I thought a C major song will be easier... But I am so wrong... 3rd one will be Inshie Mahou from Fairy Tail. I didn't dare to flip to that page also...

I am a greedy person, now I discover another good piece from Maid-sama which is I'm Not Alone... The flows of music is really soothing... But it has 4 damn sharps! Never try piece with more than 3 sharps before... Challenge Accpeted? Maybe?

When Kaichou Wa Maid-sama intersects with Fairy Tail~

Insomnia! Slept at 2.00 am, got up at 4.00 am... =.=! Best thing to do when you can't sleep is? Internet on rescue!

Facebook is so so boring in the middle of the night... So decided to go and search up piano sheets for Maid-sama's OST. Thank God! Found a website which uploads piano sheets for musics in animes!

Ichigos Piano Sheet (Anime) 

But I just downloaded 2 only, because others seems pretty difficult (?) Well, actually I think if I put in effort, I can play the others too, since my sight read now is better than last time... But it will be really time consuming... Because:

1) College going to start next Monday (29/4/2013)!!
2) Sonatina Op.36 no.4, 3rd movement is killing! 2nd movement screwed up in the lesson =.=
3) PPT for Youth Camp not done!
4) Can't cope too many songs at once...

What is the intersect thingy I was talking about? Here is the chain effect...

While I was searching for the piano sheets one by one, I want to listen to the covers also. So, as usual, go to Youtube and listen. Then after finish, I saw Fairy Tail's OST too in the recommended list. In Ichigos, they also provide Fairy Tail's OST. I search one by one, listen one by one on Youtube... Then, I downloaded 8 songs from Fairy Tail .... HAHA ! Funny thing is, at first I actually wanted to search for Maid-sama's , but ended up with Fairy Tail's.... But, almost every piece composed by YasuharuTakanashi is really good..

Indulging myself in the music now~~ By the way, downloaded 3 song's piano sheets so far... Have to work hard! Gambateh!

FINISHED! Kaichou Wa Maid-sama

URGH! NO! I just can't get enough of Usui and Misaki! The anime is so good! Is so addictive too! After Fairy Tail, I think this is my 2nd favourite anime!

Sharrey said: Don't anticipate too much for the last episode, because it is not good... By the time I watch it, I am satisfied actually.... At least, in the end, the audience is clear that Misaki's true feeling. When Hinata is introduced in the anime, I know the common love triangle actions is here! It is actually really cute seeing the production team illustrates Usui and Hinata as dogs fighting each other :) But the last 'bark' is kinda sad.... Hinata, I feel you.... But Usui x Misaki FTW!



Misaki is actually lying all the way, from episode 1 until the last episode. She is actually in love with Usui, can be seen when she is actually hoping for Usui's rescue when she was kidnapped by the perverted don't-know-what-name-school's student council president, Tora or Toro? I don't know.... And he tried to rape her! Bloody perv! Then dang! Usui on rescue!

There are just too many things to talk about Usui and Misaki.... They have too many memorable, cute, funny, heart-warming scenes together in the anime.... I personally love the Good Morning part at the beach...



Usui's Ohaiyo Misa-chan, is just too..... sexay! Misaki's reaction is bloody funny too!!

Argh, I hope they develop furthermore for the anime.... 26 episodes are just not enough, far not enough for me! The shoujo in me is burning, igniting! KEKE....



After being an elite student who is good at studies and sports, good in cooking, DANG! Violin comes in! It is actually quite impossible in real life... With bruises, he can do crossbow perfectly....



This make my day too!! HAHAHA!

Ok.... Have to stop now, if not... going to be hell long...

Kaichou Wa Maid-sama

Since I finished A Great Way To Care II, there is no other options for me to watch (non of the others ignite the drama worm in me), so I decided to go and search up for the anime which my friend, Sharrey is obsessed with, Kaichou Wa Maid-sama~

I remembered that I know this anime long time ago, because it is really famous, until today, people still talking about it. There are rumors saying that they are going to develop the drama version for the series, casting is done too! I checked up that poster, and it was like..... O.O! WHAT?! You seriously going to air that kind of thing? Isn't that SM stuff??! Then I saw Sharrey occasionally posting pictures about this dude called Usui Takumi on Facebook. That caption said: The Hottest Anime Guy.... Ok.... OK.... I even teased her when I saw there is a Kaichou Wa Maid-sama pictures, but Usui is replaced by Jellal and Misaki is replaced by Erza ~ HAHAHA!

So now, I am watching it! And just from the first episode, I know.... I know that I am addicted to this.... It is actually a very common school-love-story, but, being too adult these years, I haven't been watching this type for quite some time. I usually watch those drama/anime which is more real? I thought that I will no longer have the urge to watch something so silly anymore... Love story in high school? PLEASE! Is not going to last long! Once you graduated from high school, you say bye bye to your puppy love ok! Guys, picking up sexy ladies won't make you succeed in your career in future. Girls, falling in love with badass dudes? Seriously? That is why, I stopped watching those Taiwanese drama.... Too... unrealistic...

Dang! Kaichou Wa Maid-sama, really captures my heart! I actually can guess what happens next, but still, the way they present the bond between Usui and Misaki is really really good! I love the way Usui changed from his normal form into the chibi form with cute cute expression~ Misaki's unawareness of herself falling to Usui~ By the way, talking so much, I actually just finished 8 episodes out of 26~ HAHA! Guess that I have a longer time, indulging myself with unrealistic puppy love?

Why so serious all the time? Anime and drama is created for the sake of relieving the stress, the tension we faced everyday in real life. The world we are staying now is full of hypocrites, evil, money-minded people.... I started to lose myself sometimes.... Uncertain of the pathway lying in front of me.... Can I really survive once I stepped into the society?

Hmmm.... Forget about it, the OST from this anime is so good~ Downloaded 5 of it in one shot!
