Amusing scene in My Neighbour Totoro.
Favourite tune from Totoro – The Path of the Wind (Vocal Version) composed by Joe Hisaishi. Somewhat mystical, as with most of Joe Hisaishi’s tunes.

where yelling at the top of your voice is pretty normal…
lunch at Old Town Kopitiam on Little Bourke Street (Chinatown)
kopi-O (Malaysian black coffee)
o-chien (Oyster Omelette)
Curry Laksa
food taste authentic, unlike some ‘modified’ Malaysian food found all over Melbourne.

The food and drinks prices are ridiculously high, as is with most events. A bottle of water that cost AUD$3 from the convenience store is sold for $4.20 here. It’s smart to always come prepared and not make any purchases unless necessary. It’s not about being a tight ass. It’s about not getting riped off. About being a smarter spender.
waiting for the gates to open
Entering. No photos were allowed inside the arena.
David refers to himself as an illusionist. He involves the audience a lot but selecting people to be a part of his illusions. He performed walking through a huge spinning fan similar to the following vid
a singing and dancing tie, making a piece of tissue twirl in the air, making a car appear on stage within seconds, and the final one was making about 10 people picked from the audience sit on stage and disappear and reappearing on another side of the seating area.
It wasn’t satisfying at all. The show was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. but was about 10 minutes late and David bowed and waved goodbye at about 9.15 p.m. Heard a lady behind “Is that it?”. Exactly. Unlike the Blue Man Group show, it just didn’t feel like i had enough. Not impressed. Was left wondering whether the show has ended or is there an in-between break.
Got ripped off at 3 Kingdoms in Box Hill. Run by Koreans.
Ordered a special ramen. This is what i got. What does it look like? I’m a Malaysian so don’t think you can fool me by not using Korean instant noodles. It’s Maggi Mee. And what’s worse is that i can even tell which flavour it is. Curry.
It cost me $6 for a bowl of 50 cents instant noodle with some egg and carrot. This will be the first but final visit.
I thought The Cove is another Blair Witch type film but it is actually a true documentary about Dolphin drive hunting.
The Cove, now showing at a cinema near you.
Don’t laugh but my first time consuming cold soba was a disaster. I actually poured the bowl of sauce onto the noodles. If you’re not sure, this is how you eat the cold noodles of Japan.
The best way to shop is to shop alone. No waiting. No being waited. Free from external influences. Free from opinions.

These bears are the lucky ones. The World Society for the Protection of Animals has rescued them from the bloodsport of bear baiting. They’ve been saved from a gruesome contest no animal can win.
With only soft toothless gums to defend themselves, the bears are tethered in terror. Then the onslaught begins. What happens next is so horrifying we simply can’t show you.
But i can. And let me show you just how sick we are. Watch.
How about Human Baiting next? Or dancing a Human Baby by tugging on a chain that runs through the baby’s nose. Wouldn’t that be highly entertaining to watch?

Discovered this beautiful tune from here
“All those arrows you threw, you threw them away
You kept falling in love, then one day
When you fell, you fell towards me
When you crashed in the clouds, you found me
Oh, please don’t go
I want you so
I can’t let go
For I lose control
Get these left handed lovers out of your way
They look hopeful but you, you should not stay
If you want me to break down and give you the keys
I can do that but I can’t let you leave
Oh, please don’t go
I want you so
I can’t let go
For I lose control”
