Fall to Fall, Autumnal Fall

Fall to Fall, Autumnal Fall is a stage 4 theme of Touhou Fuujinroku : Mountain of Faith. It is quite a lively piece, composed by ZUN. Though various rearrangements of this theme can be found in Youtube, I like the one arranged by Kotarou of Kota-rocK. Kotarou's version have the feel of melancholy, and a bit of sentimental. But his genre is rock, thus we enjoy and feel the song thoroughly. Kota-rocK's version is titled "The Sound of Fall".

This piece is insignificant to the very season of "Autumn". Alright, this gonna be a bit sentimental post because... when we talk about autumn, the thing that we always heard is 'break up' between a lovely couple. Oh yeah, is it a tradition to choose this specific season? The word 'fall' does not only refer to the 'falling leaves' in autumn, a beautiful scene that I've always wanted to see. Not the ordinary leaves =_= but the maple leaves of course. The word fall also refers to the fall of relationship between love birds. That's what I conclude from my own, and others' experience.

And so it happened to me. On the first day of Aidilfitri, that was when the break up took place. I hid everything from her, sadness, pain and such. It was hard for me to let her go, but since that was what she wanted, I let go with a big smile. Big smile yes, but a plastic one :) But like the quiz result told me, I tend to look at the positive sides of everything. Yes, I found several advantages from this break up.

What I found? I got a drive to further my study oversea once I finish my diploma. Since there are nothing else for me to worry except my own family. I can also now focus on my study much more than before, and most important of all, to get myself ready for my 'missions'. >D

But then, not every couple will 'fall' during 'autumn'. Maple somehow seen as the symbol of love, and autumn is the season of romance. But in my point of view, is just as I said. Autumn = Melancholy & Fall = Break up. I'd enjoy looking at the falling maple leaves during this season, although we don't have it here in Malaysia. But watching in videos aren't bad at all. I learned many things through this short relationship. Thanks for everything ;)

Oh yea, Fall to Fall, Autumnal Fall. I love this theme and to wrap everything up, Touhou Fuujinroku : Mountain of Faith have quite a nice themes. For those who haven't listen to it, here I prepared two videos from Youtube. One is the original version of Fall to Fall, Autumnal Fall by ZUN, and another one is The Sound of Fall, a rearranged version by Kotarou. Hope you all enjoy it.

Walking in the Air

Mohd Ali Khalid playing the violin, with Emma Huang as his accompanist on piano.

Alright, you guys surely see the picture above right? That's me playing my violin, with Emma accompanying me with her piano. This is something that happened on 20th July 2011, at IMH Academy Auditorium during Higher Learning Musical Presentation that will be held every once a month.

My major is violin, focusing on the classical era. As such, you can see my attire, formal wear from top to bottom. Classical should be formal, and is strict to this point. Even the speech must be formal. Alright... the piece I presented was 'Walking in the Air', a theme from the popular animation 'The Snowman' which is a story about a boy and a snowman who has come to life as they set out for an adventure. Set in D minor, this piece is sad and have the feel of adventure. This explains the serious and static expression of my face. I can't smile if the song is in minor key, that's my standard.

Emma did well in accompanying me, while I made a mistake at the very last part before playing the harmonic. The point is, if you made a mistake, just continue on, don't stop. Stop and it will be a disgrace. Continue on and finish what you start, ignoring the mistakes. Yea, and that's what I did. I hope I won't do it anymore in the future musical presentation.

Personally, I like this piece. From the accompaniment to the main melody. It is a nice, smooth and a bit of sadness. The feels are what make me love this piece so much. I would never stop playing this piece in my life. I play it anytime I want. I listened to the Nightwish's version of this song, and it was a nice song. I downloaded it for loving it.

Alright, enough with that. I hope you guys will enjoy the presentation. Here's the video of me performing the piece with Emma. Joy-en!

P/S : Video recorded by Jackie Chua. Thanks senpai :)

Twelve Girls Band

4 erhus, 1 guzheng, 2 dizis, 2 yangqins, 3 pipas

Being a music student I was exposed to the ethnomusicology, something about ethnic music and their instruments. Then my friend showed me this group, a group that plays notable Chinese instruments. For the first time I see them, I'm fascinated! Wow....

Yea, they consist of 12 members. All the members were selected out from an audition numbering more than 4000 contestants. They are all classically-trained which is the key to their great impact on their performance. Salute to ya!

In the picture's caption, you can see the names of the instruments they have in the picture. Erhu is the Chinese two-stringed fiddle. I think I would like this instrument a lot as I major in violin. The sound created by erhu is so nice, really electrified me. Then we have the Pipa, a plucked string instrument with a fretted neck in a shape of a pear. You can simply said it a guitar, but its in the category of lute.

Next we have Dizi. Dizi is Chinese transversed flute. It is played horizontally like a normal flute, yes. Then comes the Yangqin, which is actually a hammered dulcimer. The sound is kinda piercing, I think. I don't know how to say it la... you judge it yourself by listening to it. (Don't die wo) Lastly we have this guzheng, a plucked zither with 13 to 21 strings and movable bridge.

When they play together, they create a perfect harmony. I like their music style, and they also did covers on Coldplay's song 'Clocks'. I really admire their music, and up until now, I'm fascinated with their music and style. Gonna love it! (Miyahahahah 8D)

What more can I say about them eh? I think you should just listen to them by yourself and judge it yourself. I bet you will like it. See the video I posted along. Enjoy and feel them. For perverts, you may try to select which one you want (LOL).

Not biological, yet related...

I'm the youngest in my family. YES! The youngest. So as the youngest, you can say I am a spoiled one =w="... but not all the time! There's a limit of being a spoiled 'child'. Respect the parents. Hm hm

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about that, but something similar as what we called 'adopted'. There are so many adopted in family... it can be adopted mother, father, sister or brother. What I'm goin' to focus here is 'adopted sister'. Wow... o.o

DON'T THINK OF STUPID THING! yet... This adopted sister of mine is of course not biological related to me, but we are blood related as we are actually 'cousins'. She is of course, several years younger than me (I'm TUA). But, I can't see her everyday because we live in different district that is Sri Aman-Kuching. Sad eh...

But as long as there are long holiday, I would get a chance to meet her of course. Either me and family travel to Sri Aman or her with family travel to Kuching here. Whenever they travel here, she will always stay at my home because of a bonds that bound me, her and my elder sister. This adopted little sister of mine, is a cute girl and sweet. I enjoy when I spend time with her, usually playing games such as GTA San Andreas >8D

The activities we do when we spend time together : play GTA San Andreas (torturing people, create absolute massacre, suiciding etc), play Club Penguin :3, play cards (Old Maid, Hearts, Solitaire, 21 etc) and last but not least... facebook-ing...

She is lovely should I say. I've played with her since she is small. She loves Doraemon plushies so I donated some of mine to her (heheh...) I also play some music for her, just for entertainment, since music is my field. I believe with me and my elder sister's guidance, she will become a nice girl in the near future. Amin...

I can see a great influenced I put on her. Same come from my sister's influence. I love wearing long sleeves shirt, and so do her. My elder sister love LV brand, and she do like it as well. I like slide phone, and she is also using slide phone.

Of all the time... saishou kara saigo made, I forgot to introduce her ne ==. *Stupid me...

Aa... her name is Fiffy ^^v just call her Fie. I call her by that name. On top of that, she is my sweet dearest little sister.

A pic for those with high imaginations...

"Butthurt"

First of all, allow me to laugh pfffttt....

Hahahahaahahahahahahahahah!!!! Miyahahahahahah!! Vhahahahaahahahah!!! Doh eh!!!

Okay... hehehehe :3

Wonder what's this freak word is? It is a combination of two words yah... it is 'butt' and 'hurt'. I don't know if anyone outside there, especially those who are excellent in their English (I'm sucks) ever use this 'term'. Why suddenly about this 'freaking' word or so-called term?

I found this word in a Facebook post where it is used to 'humiliate' or 'pissing off' the cosplayers in one event page (a cosplay event that don't even match the cosplayers' needs, easy to say, a foolish event). And this guy here (troller) post on the event wall that 'Cosplayers so butthurt'. By the time I see it, I'm angry, yet, I laugh at the same time. It is a mixture of two major emotions : anger and laugh. Because he said that to the cosplayers that I'm totally angry, but because of his 'nonsense' word of 'butthurt' I burst into laugh. Stupid him! (pardon me)

Yeah, I'm pissed off with this guy, but then I control myself from cursing him in that same post. I keep observing that post as more and more cosplayers from all over Malaysia arrives, responding to his 'nonsense' facts. He said cosplayers are 'mentally imbalance'. How in the world he could say that?

Honestly I have many friends who are cosplayers, some are amateur and some are totally professional in this field. They are all mentally normal and out-going just like a totally normal human. How the hell did he say that? Such a garbage! Ha tuih!

And he threatened the cosplayers that he will report to some government-related group? Nice enough. Try it, as nothing can stop the cosplayers. Cosplayers is just a hobby, and is truly associated with arts especially fashion design. Yes, cosplayers are tailors, cobblers, fashion designers, make-up artist as well as hair stylist. Nothing is wrong about that. Furthermore, they are all creative!

Cosplayers aren't models. Cosplayers do everything with their own money and hard work. Models... they just pose here and there, without having to pay anything, but getting paid instead. So, install that datas into YOUR mind, Mr. Butthurter! (know that you are the one who is mentally imbalanced)

Think, research and experience it yourself before you do, say anything. Don't judge a book by its cover, or I'll crush you with the hardcover books (haha... serves you right!). Jaa ne Mr. Butthurter... may YOU REST IN CHAOS!

Ah, one more thing for ya, Mr. Butthurter... "Let the butthurt flow through you." (gracious laugh)

Owh, Mr. Buthurter, yours is white? vhahahah!!! Kantoi~~

Insanity...

AL stands for Aeternus Lues

The pic above depicts a pair of scythes, one heading upward and one heading downward, shade in red and black. It forms the letter A and L. Wonder what it is?

This is an official logo for the 'underground' group that 'I'm part of' known as Aeternus Lues (stylized as ".:Aeternus Lues:."). What is this group about? And what's that phrase of 'Insanity conquers all'?

Okay, this group is simply labeled with one word, 'Insanity'. Aeternus Lues literally means 'Eternal Plague'. The plague here simply refers to the insanity itself, added with some 'evilish' desire. And thus the slogan 'Insanity conquers all' exist for this group. This group have their own official website, and their members are mostly Malaysian Malay.


This group obviously 'torture' the mentality of those who is in it. There are five 'elite' members known as 'Quinque Magistri' ruling the group. Again, there are two sub-groups known as 'Trio Budiman' and 'Para Pembangkang' (sounds political eh). Anyway ==, these two sub-groups always fight against each other. Three members on Trio Budiman (trio lorh) and three for Para Pembangkang (fair and rectangle). The battles however, seems one-sided as Trio Budiman always got the upper hand.

This group can be found in Facebook too (a secret group) as well as a fan page (hehe...). For every month, the group will held a 'collaboration' with different theme for each month. The first collaboration was with Happy Tree Friend. Later comes Pokemon, Digimon, Square Enix, Tekken and as well as 'Zoo' (I think I won't talk too much about this 'zoo').

What else eh? (lost)

For what I can say, this group is growing, widening their 'domination' slowly at their own pace. There's also a humor plus random comic about Aeternus Lues, made by the 'founder'. Here's the name of Quinque Magistri : Aya, Khal, Syam, Bomar and Pepper. A substitute for QM is another 'Syam' (won't talk much about it).

Aeternus Lues gonna have their own HQ (yeah!!!) several years to come (=_______=). Partially, Aeternus Lues have a smaller branch called "Eternal Havoc". This Eternal Havoc is for adult content... right NEXT!

The main event in Aeternus Lues was Disc Coliseum, a battle royal consist of disc hunting. The Aeternians (Members for Aeternus Lues) won't be participating in any of it, but their 'OCs' (Original Characters) will battle against each other, collecting the discs. The battle is still ongoing, somehow postponed under some complicated reason. The Aeternians are more like spectators, observers and judges the battles. The battle takes place in the future where AL HQ exists proudly.

I think that's all about it... (lost again)

To that end, those who don't have strong mentality are NOT to join this group. You'll be suffering instead. This group is for those who are OPEN MINDED, INSANE and EVIL peoples. 'You must be this crazy to enter.' That's all about Aeternus Lues. May the group keep growing and may all the Aeternians' dreams come true. Amin...

Back to College =______="

Yaa... as the title suggest, the college and school's holiday time are not the same (naze da...). So today's Monday (Moonlight day) so starting today, I will resume my college life after a week being a 'nocturnal'. ^^ heehe...

For sure, this whole week I've been a nocturnal just like before (about 4 years in time). So now I will switch back to being a 'diurnal' and concentrate on my study of music. History, theory, appreciation, major, minor and such... welcome back to my life. Mou ichido ganbarimasu!!!

Here I am wearing the collared long sleeves T-shirt of blue and black stripes along with jeans, waiting for the time to get moving to my college, IMH Academy (International Music House). Gotta meet my friends again, my teammates in this road towards the grand stage. Yes, minna-san, ikimasu yo ne!

Oh, even so I've been a nocturnal for the whole holiday week, it doesn't mean that I only net surfing the whole time. Yea, I do net surfing whole time, yet I also do my job (assignments) which composed of two continuous writing essays, a Malay historical essay and theory works. I also practiced my instruments (both major and minor). Quite an obstacle, but I've overcame it. ==b

Last but not least, happy holiday (for another week) for school students out there. Enjoy ya holiday, and don't forget to do your homeworks ar. Be nice to everyone, and have a nice day. See ya later ^^v
