Naruto!

I was digging up the songs I used to have on my school laptop.... and discovered several gems... including drama serial/ Anime theme songs... This is the anime show that got me really hooked for a while... the only anime I watched close to 100 episodes... the anime that got me sobbing for no reason in the middle of the night once/ twice(?) in Washington DC... (which got C pretty concerned) For the uninitiated, Naruto is this anime series about ninjas (quite popular I think abt half a decade ago? there are Naruto movies too, i think) - it looks a bit violent, but it's really not that bad. Aside from the cool ninja moves, the show was also about friendship, determination, perseverance and such...

This version I found seems to have the clearest graphics... But I think whoever made this prob liked Lee a lot (the green guy with the bowl-shaped hair and 'bandaged' limbs) though he wasn't the main character in the show. If I didn't remb wrongly, I my favourite character could have been Hinata... this soft-spoken timid girl with short hair... (some semblance to my own character could have been part of the reason why I liked her. I must have liked her for other reasons too, but my memory fails me now) Nonetheless... listening to the opening song again gives me a warm fuzzy feeling...

Beautiful Life

My sensei coincidentally posted the theme song of one of my fav Jap dramas... brings back fond memories... I think I went and bought the DVDs in Sg; then finished most of the drama while snuggled in bed at night while I was in Berkeley... I shall rewatch it some time soon heh.

"Disfigured" for now... :(

I just met with a tiny mishap at Netball class just now... the first 'sports accident' in 3 classes... and I am now disfigured by two reddish scratch marks on the right side of my face (the area in btwn the nose & upper lip)! Someone wanted to intercept a ball thrown to me and accidentally swiped her fingers/fingernails across my face! The pink scars look roughly like ">"(just that the two lines dun meet)... I look a bit like I got into a cat-fight with someone bleah :( I hope they heal soon and leave no trace.

I baked a little cheesecake yesterday... using a Muji instant cheesecake mix :P It tasted pretty alright, but the surface turned out a little pockmarked and speckly. I was also expecting a fluffy moist Japanese cheesecake - but mine turned out pretty solid bleah. Aiyah, I think I prob did something wrong somewhere... shall try again next time!

And yeah, my cake had a snaking fault line that cut right thru the middle...
