welcome

It keeps coming back to me
I remember this pain
It spreads across my eyes
Everything is dull

Everyone's smiling, they're smiling
It pushes me far far away
I can't understand
Everything is blue

Can you hear me out there?

Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
I'm gazing from the distance and
I feel everything pass through me
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
I'm lost in a deep winter sleep
I can't seem to find my way out alone
Can you wake me

I know when I let it in
It hides love from this moment
So I guard it close
I watch the moves it makes

But it gets me, but it gets me
I wish I could understand how I
Could make it disappear, make it disappear

Anyone out there hear me now?

Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
Kiss my lips
and maybe you can take me to your world for now
I can't be alone right now
Will you hold me now Hold me now My frozen heart
Please make it all go away
Am I ever gonna feel myself again?
I hope I will

HEY HEY~
It's been a long week, with all the hustling and shuffling of tutorials, lecture, projects, quizzes, assignments....but still i managed to squeeze in a bit of my time (3 hours) for NTU's visual art society's ANIMEWORKS. In short, there was free anime-screening in NTU on 14/3/07 at 7.30pm to 10pm. I pia-ed down after a long dinner with cordy and was waiting with such expectancy. They had some door gifts for us, candies and chocolates in nice wrapping and a short handbook of the animes that were gonna be screened and a thorough analysis of what makes you an OTAKU and the types of OTAKU that exists in this world. I must say the crowd was majority guys, but there were girls too. But that is not what i wanna discuss today...We watched 1 3D movie (very final fantasy style) and 2 short animes.

The first anime is "Today in class 5-2" or "kyo no go no ni". It is actually a series of short stories that revolves around Satou Ryouta in Class 5-2. All the stories have one theme in common. Perverse humor is the flavour of this anime in which Satou often find himself in awkward situations with the girls. It's so funny and triggers your mind to naughty ecchi scenes..and makes you explode with laughter... You should go download them if possible, via torrent or at http://www.anikei.com/.





One Silly Scenario in which Satou says that collarbones
are the most attractive feature in girls,
just to get himself out of the "I love boobs" fix
his friends got him into


The second anime is "Byousoku 5cm". The art is simple, serene and lovely. It really captivates your heart and moved me to tears.





The setting was probably in late 1980s, when the Internet and mobile phones weren't even available. Two high-school kids met in school, got to know each other better and fell in love with each other. But fate has its way of being cruel to this young couple. The girl had to transfer to another part of Japan which was really far away from Tokyo, and this crushed their dreams of graduating together and going into a new college together. They communicated by writing letters to each other and the boy would actually memorise all the contents of the letters. One day, the boy's family also decided to move to another part of Japan which made the distance between the lovers even further. Then the two lovers decided to meet at the girl's current hometown's train station. The heart-wrenching journey begins as the boy sets off to see the girl, only to be met by obstacles.





This anime has 3 parts, however, only the first part has been subbed. So i dunno the ending, but i was tearing under the cover of darkness, constantly dabbing tissue at my eyes, hoping my make up wldn't run. When the lights came on, I couldn't cry liberally, but I was so embarrassed to let other pple see my tears. My friend who went with me also teared. Maybe she felt the sadness and despair by the author more deeply, because she is currently in a long distance relationship that is plagued with problems that she has no control over.
Long distance relationships aren't easy to handle and can be very tricky if there's no trust and yet both parties dun wanna let go. Anyway, 5cm/s conveyed sadness, despair, loneliness so well that I was so caught up with it. Feeling sad for the boy when things didn't go well and feeling happy when he and the girl finally met. Welcome to the whirlwind of emotions. I guess it reflects reality and augmented sadness, despair and loneliness so beautifully that almost all the girls in there were moved. I dunno abt the guys lah. haha... i like touching animes, if you know more, pls tell me...
