Ice Cream Kachang
Ack. Wait. Is it kacang, or kachang? I think kacang is the malay version... -_-;; Oh nevermind. Forgot to blog yesterday, but no big deal. Didn't go to Fair Dinkum, so I'm not sure what I missed out (it's a CCA fair sorta thing), but then again, like I care... I have exactly four episodes of Witch Hunter Robin left to watch. What can I say? *heaves a sigh of relief* Finally an anime that doesn't have a pink-haired cutesy female in it. You can actually observe Robin's character development as she flowers into a more independent and stronger individual. I can actually feel her inner turmoil about her true identity, and what it means to be someone who deserves to live. There is this tangible comparison between witch and human, and the inevitable question that arouses every single time: Do all witches deserve to be annihilated, just for being who they are? And the even bigger question which is still being debated today: What does it mean to be human?
Somehow, you can't seem to get all these impacting vibes from, say, Inuyasha, or DNAngel. Okay, maybe DNAngel DOES touch on the flip sides of the human mind, disguise and illusion and all that Twelfth Night stuff I can't seem to get out of my head. Maybe a better example would be Love Hina, or Magic Knight Rayearth. Not that I have ever felt inclined to watch the likes of Love Hina. Eeeuuurrgghhh...
In Robin, I see an outstanding character, someone who doesn't speak much, but thinks volumes. Then I begin that inexorable process of comparing her with other female leads of other anime. The only one I can think of now who is on approximately the same level as she, would be Rosette from Chrno Crusade. Most other anime have happy endings... Like Pretear, for instance. Good is undermined by Evil, Good strikes back and defeats Evil, and in the end, Good gets the girl/guy. Few anime delve deeper into what "Good" and "Evil" embody. Like what CR says in her blog, Snow White is Good because she's pretty, and kind, and...??? The Queen is Evil because she's ugly, selfish, deceitful, and...??? What a pretty picture. Nobody's perfect, you know. Snow White and her Stepmother are actually representative of ONE SINGLE human being. Everyone has the good, the bad and the ugly... There're just no exceptions...
Hmmm...why am I crabbing about all this? Dunno. It just hit me and I had to write it down. Blah. Back to my life. So, after about 3 episodes of W.H.R., I dragged myself out of the room to prepare for lectures. Went for Economics first. Ok, the teacher's boring, but he's really nice, once he's not teaching. Actually, all the teachers here are really nice. *bliss* The only bone I have to pick with them is: Why are lectures on powerpoint slides??? This means the notes I print out would have to be in powerpoint slides. Argh. I have a NEW subject I take, called compilation-of-notes-into-Word-after-every-lecture. WHY IS THE SKY BLUE???
M&C wasn't too bad either, haha. Didn't know The Sun had a page 3 dedicated to topless girls. So THIS is freedom of speech??? Constitutional laws be damned, what about the CHILDREN??? Gross. The next time I hear Rupert Murdoch... *shakes head* His name makes me think of weird stuff... Like "Rupert" sounds very much like "Rue, Pervert" and "Murdoch"? He murdered his doctor??? Sounds very evil to me... haha. Hmm. I'm crapping off again in another direction. And the Nipplegate incident? New fact: Janet Jackson was Googled more times than the Iraq war. Media and Communications is so cool! *bounces around*
Oh, by the way. If you're curious about the blog title, that's what I ate for dessert yesterday. Home-made ice kachang with vanilla ice-cream. Haha, then I "ruined" it by mixing it all up together, like what I do with KFC potato whips. That's the REAL way to eat, yum! Slept at 1am yesterday, adjusting my new timetable. The one they provided was lousy, so I remade mine. So proud of it now!!!
Before I go, just a note to self: I think I'm a genius. Yeah!!!
I think.
P.S. I can walk without crutches now, whee!
P.P.S. My room is a mess.
I'MCRAZY!
