I'm free~~

My finals are OVER.
FINALLY.
END OF SEM 1.
TIME FOR FREEDOM~

*locks myself inside my room for a whole day*

Friend: "I locked myself inside my room and didn't talk to anyone for three days."
Same.
This is what finals can did to us huh. (Library is too far and crowded.)



Saw this on my Youtube recommendations and I clicked it without a second thought as the name seems familiar. (I thought of "Once Upon A Dream" tbh)

But

WHOA

This piano version is so FREAKIN' GOOD (no I'm not crying nope)

I was curious about the 'lost Russian princess' (Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia) people were commenting below the video, so...yup, spent an hour or so googling about history and death of Russia's monarchy.

What's finals anyway

'Once Upon a December' is a song from an animation, "Anastasia" (1997) by 20th Century Fox, which is an adaptation for the legend of lost Russian princess.



For someone who grew up with Disney and Pixar I can't believe I've never watched this before?!?!
Probably because it's neither Disney nor Pixar??
Or maybe I've watched it but it slipped through my memory?

Ignoring the historical inaccuracies (it's a fiction anyway, not documentary), this movie is absolutely wonderful.




And I finally saw this is from that gif set on tumblr lol

Anya, the princess who lost her memories trying to get to Paris and find her family with the help of Dimitri. Long story short, Anastasia and Dimitri eloped to be together after she found out she's the lost princess. Yay happy ending~

However, in reality the 'lost princess' died during the execution of her family, and her body was found and proved with DNA analysis on 2007, ten years after this movie was out.

Not a happy ending AT ALL.



I was a fool for reading reviews about 'The Final Problem' the day it aired (which is also the day for my financial accounting exam. Disaster. )
Most reviews on tumblr and facebook comments are really disturbing, mostly complaining about how Johnlock wasn't endgame (Yeah they didn't kiss SO WHAT it had never been a yaoi show).

The writers and actors did a great job producing this show and it's their freedom to write what they want instead of what the fans want.

I can't describe how beautiful this show is because my English sucks, so I'm just gonna put some screenshots from this season.






ROFL









I'm quite fond of Sherlock's genius but psychopathic sister tho. 💔




"The best and wisest men I have ever known. My Baker Street boys. "

"Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson."

A week of feels (It's just Tuesday tho)

This Iflix ad kept popping up on my fb wall.



My sis told me we can watch free Iflix (yes yes I've only knew this last week) because we're using unifi, why not?

(Still, not much shows tho since I don't watch K-dramas. And the shows aren't up to date.
(Good thing is it got Merlin HAHAHHAHAha guess what I'm gonna watch NEXT

Watched it for Jenna Coleman (Clara from Doctor Who).
I've forgotten why I stopped watching it. Because I found out about Legal High? Maybe??

Tbh I'm not a big fan of dramas. I normally preferred books, or movies.
(A few exceptions last year, since I get to be a free-rider for 4 months, doing nothing while waiting for my A levels results. Ahh sweet times~

But once I like the show I'll LOVE THE SHOW there's no turning back muahahahaha.

Victoria



It's a TV mini series about the early life of Queen Victoria.
8 episodes in total, which is also one of the main reason I watched it. The only 'long drama' I've watched these days is 琅琊榜.
Besides, the decoration on sets are so beautiful~~

Slice-of-life, some romance, so politics, overall the show is okay, I think.
Not the best show I've watched, but I get to learn something, since I knew nothing about Queen Victoria before this. (Spent hours on wikipedia while watching this lol)

Just bear in mind it wasn't 100% historically accurate.





Me: "ARGHHH finals are coming."
Me to me: "Hey remember the gif sets from an animation you saw on tumblr ages ago?"

Therefore,
 Kubo and the Two Strings



Kubo, the protagonist, was a storyteller in a small village. By playing his shamisen (Yes, I googled it), the colour papers magically fold into origamis.

I love how the story portrays death, and the monkey and beetle traveling with Kubo is actually HIS PARENTS WHAAATT?????
lol there're times when I wanna shout "JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY" to them while they're bickering but wow they're his parents?! Actual parents?!

WEIRD 
(I like it)

This isn't the best animated movie I saw, but still,
I don't understand why Minions is more popular than this. Hmph.

Favourtie scene:





Sherlock, Season 4, Episode 2, 
"The Lying Detective"

Finished downloading, sat down with laptop on my lap, finally get to watch this, and the first thing that came out is:


UpSETting?!
Isn't the last episode upsetting enough???

Not gonna write long review here. Will do it after I finished the finale AND my finals.

"Nah I seldom cry." 

*Cried reading 'The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto', cried watching Kimi no Na Wa, cried reading Fantastic Beasts fanfics, and yup, cried watching the first episode where Mary dies.*

I get emotionally attached to fictional characters okaaay?? (sobs

I've seen some spoilers about the second episode being 'the best Sherlock episode EVER'.
After watching it,
YES IT REALLY IS THE BEST SHERLOCK EPISODE.



John : "No you're not dad I am dad." 
Hehehe just needa type it out.

John kept imagining Mary was still with him, making sassy comebacks.
NOnonono I can't handle this angst
*clutches heart*



Sherlock caring about a suicidal woman, Mrs. Hudson being BAMF (The fact that she listened to Beethoven 9th Symphony while driving her sports car cracks me up HAHAHHA), creepy businessman villain, Sherlock hallucinating (which is also kinda creepy), John punching Sherlock....

Yup, this episode is pretty emotional and INSANELY GOOD!

 And the scene:




Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out.

For the ending, the note with "Miss Me?" on it is definitely shocking, but THIS:






OH
MY
GOD

NO IT DIDN'T why didn't I thought of this before?!??!?

NEXT EPISODE 



Mary: "He's the cleverest man in the world, but he's not a monster."

John: "Yeah he is."

Mary: "Yeah okay. Alright. He is."

"But he is our monster."

Sherlock: The Six Thatchers #reaction

New year, new me Sherlock.
Just finished the newest episode of BBC Sherlock and NO I'M NOT OKAY.
Well the first half is so domestic (domestic enough for the 221B gang) and the second half is emotional roller coaster.
It's nearly midnight so what I've wrote for this post will be a bit messy.
and I may have temporary loss the skill of writing coherent sentences after watching this episode.

Favourite/ memorable scenes and random thoughts:

SPOILER ALERT

Sherlock tweeting and being high.



John and Mary asking Sherlock, Molly and Mrs. Hudson to become Rosie's godparents.
YASS that's so sweet~♥

Sherlock with Rosie I repeat, SHerlock WITH ROSIE.




and Rosie hit Sherlock with the rattle hahahhahahha

The dog doing absolutely nothing.
Sherlock: "Fascinating."
↑ Totally me whenever I meet a dog

Sherlock showing a photo of Rosie to Mycroft. ROFL




John used a balloon as his substitute.



John your drawing skills sucks hahhahahaha

John texting the woman he met on bus wtf.
Seriously? what. the. fuck.
You do know you have a family right? WHY?

Mary to John, "I don't deserve you."
No I don't care what kind of assassin you were you deserve him shut up don't say things like this.

Mary saved Sherlock by taking the bullet.
(For those who complained and hated Mary for shooting Sherlock, you can stfu now.
(Please I'm so tired about those anti-Mary going around since season 3

Seconds before Mary dies,
"Hey Sherlock?"
"Yes."
"I so like you. Did I ever say?"
"Yes. Yes you did."
(Me: ugly sobbing)
(I'm quite fond of Sherlock  x Mary friendship

Mary to John,
"You're my whole world. Being Mary Watson was the only life worth living. Thank you."



No.
NOnononononononono
NO.

 I'm tired of being mad at a show I love but Mary didn't deserve this kind of dead. Not to mention the difference between Sherlock and her getting shot + John reaction to both of them getting shot (John called the ambulance the second he saw Sherlock was injured but when Mary was shot he just?? imma talk to my dying wife omg no don't die and *makes chewbacca noise*
No.
This episode is good.
It's definietly good, it got the elements Iwanted (Parentlock!, Sherlock John and Mary went out together to solve a case etc.), but there're too many illogical plot twist compared to previous episodes.
and it's totally unnecessary for Mary to die.

John being mad a Sherlock.



And I thought you texting the woman on bus is bad enough.
Yes Mary wouldn't be dead if Sherlock didn't text her to go to the aquarium but STILL.
It wasn't Sherlock's fault when Mary decided to save him ffs. IT IS NOT SHERLOCK'S FAULT.
Seriously John you blamed on Sherlock when he can't kept his vow of keeping your family save. Sherlock done his best saving Mary from her past and what you've ever done is texted anther random woman.

what the hell.
Damn I hate him.

OH MY GAWD




Oh it's just Mary.
"...I'm giving you a case, Sherlock. Might be the hardest case of your career. When I'm gone, if I'm gone, I need you to do something for me. Save John Watson. Save him, Sherlock, save him."
Oh I don't need my heart at all~

About Mary's "Go to hell, Sherlock" in her video after end credits, there some theories about Mary being shady af and was actually the villain in this series, but for me I assume that go to hell is just an expression of how difficult it is for Sherlock to 'save' John.

Or could it be her telling Sherlock to go to Hell, a village in Norway?


 NEXT EPISODE PLEASE

烟花

好冷。
明明不是冬天,这里没有冬天。
星期一周会天还没亮,冷得把手伸进蓝裙中间大大的洞里的那种冷。(以前人的姿势?)
裹上睡觉用的厚厚的被子,冒险去了嘿~ 
把连衣帽的帽子拉起,盖过头也有同样效果。
像故事里冒险家穿的斗篷。
然后把魔杖插在腰带上。
Newt 是这样放的耶,Tina 的则放在她大衣的口袋内。



↑ Tina 的大衣有个小口袋专门放wand的。

唯一的缺点是你看起来像怪胎/白痴。

现在纯粹是在填满笔记本的空白(然后打在这里。因为我无聊。)

最想要的宠物:龙
中学时后想象过一只外表和凤凰相似,但羽毛是蓝、白色的。
凤凰是火属性的,而它是水属性。
很抱歉的,我把它的名字给忘了。
霜什么的。

哦,
小小的,可以握在掌中,但他最喜欢的还是趴在我肩上,偶尔喷点火取暖(但这里是大马耶?)
喜欢闪闪发亮的东西,得到后霸者不放。

反正我也没有多少金光闪闪的东西,全给玩他也没关系啦。
钥匙、我钢琴形状的书签,和猫咪老师书签除外。

撒起娇来可会融化你的心啊~~
轻抚着他的头时他那猫一般的眼睛(可瞳孔是银色的)眯成弯月,发出满足的声音。
好可爱~(掩面

Occamy 也不错。是鸟和蛇的合体?!? (实际上每一有两只脚的)
所以它们身上的到底是羽毛还是鳞片啊?
哈哈哈哈想象 Slytherin 的学生把 occamy 当宠物带去学校。
Ron 都可以带只没用的肥老鼠了,别告诉我 Slytherin 没学生没人养蛇。
基本上是条长长的有头的面条啊……
在它不咬人的时候。

现在是想到什么就写什么的状态。

2016 年的最后一天……
最后一天……
也没啥特别的?除了几个小时候,凌晨12点烟花会响起。



“我好喜欢。“
”我也很喜欢看烟花。”

(笑喷

2017 年有什么值得期待的?
其实我除了接下来三个星期的 Sherlock, 没想到这么远呢。
就当我懒惰吧。
反正想那么多,不定数那么多,想了也有超过90%是不会成真的。
反正去年的我都猜不了我如今的状况了,干嘛想到明年去?

就这样。
新年快乐啦~

我要去KLCC



自从中学毕业后每个人的假期都不一样,所以一年内约出来玩的次数也不多,这个月内却一次过除了好几次耶~~

(对于整天宅在家本人三次算是很多次了……
(但再出多几次我也ok 
(我成绩表示不ok

以下是上个月的事了。

自从知道有 "Fantastic Beasts" 这套戏后就和Joey说好要一起看了。
身为好孩子的我当然不可以食言,尽管看过了也和 Khei Lai + Joey 再看一次哈哈哈好乖哟~

我人生中第一次和朋友出去看戏是 Form 2 那年和中学朋友看 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows II"
五年后,
我们在同样的电影院看"Fantastic Beasts"

时间过得好快啊。

当天因有事而放飞机的绵羊在这之后也和她大学朋友去看了。
绵羊她说 "Fantastic Beasts" 好看!! 
(抱 (绵绵我喜欢你

于是我和Joey一直在她身旁念说 Newtina 是绝配哈哈哈(绝!配!

话说之后有聊到说 "Fantastic Beasts" 这系列共五套电影,若每一套都出 Screenplay 的话……我还真会每一本都买的。嗯。
(没药救了
(也没想要被救啊咳咳


“你现在在家吗?”
“在呀。”
“我现在去你家。”

 哈哈哈这就是朋友有车的好处! 
于是 Joey 就来我家了。之后一起去电影院看 "Moana"

好美的故事。

(绵羊:“Bojio! 我也要看的!”
(Khei Lai:“Bojio!”

于是我在 Avenue K 的 Popular 找到了这本笔记本:



(喂



第二天,Joey,伊玲,绵羊和我一起看 "Rouge 1: A Star Wars Story"

第一次坐绵羊驾的车啊。
绵羊长大了呢~
有自己的车了~
绵羊:“你是我第一个载的人(父母例外)。”
本人为此感到荣幸~

小时候没怎么留意 Star Wars,是去年看了 "The Force Awakens" 后才比较了解这故事。
看人家评论说新的这套不错,于是就看吧~



实际上本人是冲着女主角去看的(掩面
女主帅帅哒~



Because flower crowns are cool (?)



从几星期前对着我爸念我要去KLCC念了好久,昨天终于拉到人和我一起去了。

一到达KLCC后的第一站:Kinokuniya

这是我要去KLCC的主要原因 ╮(╯-╰)╭
好多 "Fanastic Beasts" 的摆设!!!

呜不同版本的HP系列就算了,
有周边产品就算了,
还有 Pop figures 啊!!
 一个RM65!!
六十五!! 

我买的那本书要多买一样东西才有30%折扣,因此在书店里犹豫了好久。

《你的名字》小说?
《古书堂事件手贴6》? 但那里只有台湾出版,所以超贵的。
《流》? 人家的部落格上介绍的日本小说?
《钢之炼金术师》漫画? 我就差最后三本,但那里卖一本RM19 我之前的才一本RM4.50?!?!
Harry Potter 的周边?
Pop figures? 可六十五啊啊——

为啥我看中的书都超过RM50啊?!
Khei Lai:“这边很少少过RM50的书吧”
也是(泪

觉得 Pop figures 的话要就 Newt 和 Tina 一起买,要就两个都不买,所以还是不买了。

最后选了个 "Fantastic Beasts" 的笔记本。♥

“还好我没像你喜欢 Harry Potter 喜欢到酱癫。”
诶?
“钱包会出血啊。”
所以吃面包啊。(拭泪
没关系我开心句好。



午餐,走了好久,要不嫌太贵,要不就嫌太多人,最后还是回到Food court吃。(趴

新年要到了,这时不买新年衣就太迟了。
之后需回学校考试,回来后就新年了。

我们三人进了好几家店,
“诶这个不错!!”
(看价钱
(走

从 KLCC 走到Avenue K,最后搭火车到 Mid Valley 才在 Aeon 找到要的衣服。
所以去了那么远…的Aeon…买衣服。



↑这小姐一直在抓 Pokemon (走了那么远是来孵蛋滴!




抱在手上的感觉好好(抱紧

书里还有海报
和Tina在MACUSA的ID
和那好美的封面
和一个世界地图哈哈哈哈哈
好久没那么开心了(所谓的好久纯粹是上个月??

Trip to Perak 2016

现在我家还!没!有!水!
其他人的都有了就我家没有!?! 据说是水管爆掉?!?!? 
( 经历了那么多次后已经麻木了唉…
今年可以标签为最多制水的一年了。

耶星期三从怡宝回来~
每年年尾的旅行,今年选了不远的霹雳州没钱出国啊

第一站,金宝的UTAR。Open day 趁机混进去参观。


UTAR Heritage Hall 外头的雕像。这是……中西合璧?

一次去INTI Subang时觉得挺不错的,之后才发现还好就几个高高的建筑物啦。另外A level的学生都大都在8和9楼上课,也没啥。走来走去都是同样地方。
第一次去 Sunway 时也觉得 sunway 好大,只是太多人好拥挤(外加跳楼事件),不喜欢。 
第一次去UNMC……好大!
走了几天:唔认得全部路后其实也不会很大啦。
再过几天:虽说不大但好懒惰走路啊啊——(趴

但是!
金宝的UTAR还真大耶!! 
还挺绿意盎然的,还有好大好大的湖让你好好思考人生(喂
怪不得去那里读书的亲戚朋友都需要一辆脚车。

 Gua Tempurung (椰壳洞)
话说我还是不明白哪一边像椰壳了啊? 干嘛叫椰壳洞?



长那么大我还真没去过。
至少记忆中我没去过…?
对于山洞我印象中只有Batu Caves.



是挺美的,只是用电话拍来的照片不觉得怎么样。
让我想起 Gringotts 耶~

爸:“哪个是 stalagmite 哪个是 stalactite ?”
诶诶 Harry 有问过同样的问题!!!

  "I never know," Harry called to Hagrid over the noise of the cart, "what's the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite?"
  "Stalagmite's got an "m" in it, " said Hagrid. "An' don' ask me questions just now, I think I'm gonna be sick...
—— JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter Five: Diagon Alley.

Yes I'm a huge potterhead bye.

Kellie's Castle
一句话概括:没建完+被毁掉的有钱人屋子



一些部分已经毁了里面其实没啥东西。

据说是员工生病+主人也生病死掉而没建好的Castle。
自1926年后就被遗弃了(会记得这年份是因 Fantastic Beasts 的故事也在这一年咳咳)建好的一部分也毁了一大半。




可惜啊。



既然没建好就没多少 'Haunted'的感觉了。

很多这种通风的洞。



也有很多小小的,通往紧急出口/地道的旋转楼梯。
原本有个通到附近一间印度庙的地道,因安全问题被封起来了。

Kellie's castle 是位从 Scotland 来的商人 William Kellie Smith 建给他老婆的。
或许因这原因很多情侣喜欢过来拍婚纱照?
我们去的那短短时间内已经见到四对了。
“有钱建城堡给老婆有钱好浪漫哦”的意思??

可因William Smith肺炎死去,这“建给老婆”的城堡她老婆也不要了,把这没建完的城堡卖给英国公司后回苏格兰过生活去。

Kuala Sepetang



我们住的民宿就在餐馆楼上。
红树林。渔村。老鹰。萤火虫。

下午坐船出海,去附近一个在岛上,没水电供应的渔村走走看看。



另外还有喂鱼喂老鹰看萤火虫。
然后去太平拍照拍照,
下雨时爬(其实只是走? 有楼梯的)上霹雳洞的山顶,



之后我妹的男友又过来(话说我第一次知道拍拖那么快就见家长了?! 还双方都见了?!),
晚上去 Lost world of Tambun 的温泉,(因此我头发变草了。好粗。)



吃了半碗超辣的韩国面,
还有走了怡宝的二奶巷。

嗯不错啦。
