V for A Lot of Words


V for Vendetta

Probably the best line ever created for a movie.



"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished.

However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition!

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."


– V's introduction to Evey




In the movie V for Vendetta, a monologue for V's introduction to Evey, containing 49 words starting with the letter "V".

It can't get any better when Hugo Weaving is the one who is giving the speech.

One word enough said... "Cool".

Heck... the monologue is longer than what I have written myself here.

Nonsense 1


Sense. This picture makes none.

Don't you just love motivation cards, those usually hanged on the office wall that aim to encourage people to think positively.

Well, I have one for myself.

Think positively, Osaka, think of nonsense.





There's a post I suppose to finish it last Saturday but it ended up to be too long then I decided to take more time to tidy it up.

So, instead of putting up that long-winded post, I will just create another post that talks about...well...nonsense...





In KL, there's a very unique situation where normally only occurs among Chinese peoples.

It's the way a Chinese calling another Chinese's name.

What so special about it?

Most of the time, especially for Chinese studying in college or already working, they tend to call the other Chinese in their romanized name.

I find it very weird... OK, it makes some sense if you are having conversation in English, but, in Chinese conversation too? Come on, it is totally funny and strange. There's situation where some people don't even know how to pronounce the Chinese name of their friends even after knowing them for several years...

Well, I think this only happens in a place like KL.





Read it somewhere, if you spend 2 hours every working day jamming on the road, you are spending 2 days on the road every month.

So, can I just stuck on the road for 2 days and jam-free for the rest of the days?

Nah... better do it in installment.





What is this post all about actually?

Nonsense lah...abuthen...

Blue Monday

What a way to start the day.

Due to the protests ahead of possible debate of no confidence in Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the police set up roadblocks along major roads leading to Parliament.

Which was why I stuck in a one-hour traffic jam.

Today suppose to be the first day of my last week in NVP. Which is why it is quite exciting when you have to finish all the work on your hand and prepare the handover.

Well, reaching the office at 11am wasn't helping at all. I had to rush from the morning to night to find that I couldn't manage to finish the work at the end of the day.

It added more bluishness into the Monday-blues...

Yotsuba was affected also by the Monday-blues...

This is not what I've imagined for my last week...

Rakuzen, EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN


Rakuzen

We went to Rakuzen for the eat-all-you-can japanese buffet on Sunday.


Trying to be Cyril

After we order the first batch of our food, Fish tried to pretend he was Cyril.


The menu

A lot of choices, we ordered a lot at first and then the captain gave us the weird look and said..."You can order more 'cause later when more people come in, the longer you need to wait."...Huh...OK...


The decoration

The environment was pretty nice, the decoration added the sense of Zen...


Light through bars

The lighting also was very soft, good for the eyes and couple to do what they want...


The bulb

One light bulb per table, NIAO...


The meditation

Meditation during the buffet was a must, abuthen where's the word "Zen" in Rakuzen coming from?


EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN-?

The slogan said eat-all-you-can, hey, we were trying...


CAN-YOU-EAT-ALL-?

After the buffet... I think the slogan should be can-you-eat-all-? 'Cause we can't.


Chopstick split

Rakuzen buffet can make you become Cyril, Fish finally could split the chopstick.

So this concludes the trip to Rakuzen, thanks for reading.










Eh? Where are the photos of the food? Aiya, we were busy eating, where got time to take photo of the food, result of the food maybe I can help lah...

OK, OK... actually I managed to take some of it before we put it into the digestive system.

Here goes.











Fight for the last one

The makimono was nice, you have to fight for it. But don't eat too much, rice can make you feel full, you won't able to eat the rest of the buffet.


Real men only eat fried stuff

Real men only eat fried stuff. Oily fried stuff.

No... actually they weren't as oily as we thought.


Don't know what beancurd, not really nice anyway

Forget what's it called. Doesn't matter anyway, I don't like it.


Most popular food, eat non-stop

Refreshing is the keyword. One scoop was definitely never enough.


Too hot, spoiled the mood to eat it

Suppose to be nice... but way too hot...


Me not food

Most delicious ones...

But don't eat me please...

Hot Limit


Hot Limit
High and Mighty Color


High and Mighty Color came out with their latest single, "Hot Limit".

A very pop kinda jrock, but it suits my taste well, especially when Maki is dancing on the star with a very gothic SM feel of dress... Her smile is damn sweet la... add points to the music video even though it has nothing much to see.

By the way, this is a cover song. So it means there's a original version of "Hot Limit".

The original is just a few milisecond scroll below, see which one is your favourite...
