I've been a bit frustrated with blogger these days. Or maybe frustrated with myself for not able to find a way to modify my blog in some way to create categories that's easy to browse through. So, for that failure, I've decided to shift my blog to blog.com. Here's the address:http://cheeky_monkey.blog.com

Like Naruto, you cannot judge the manga by the age of its characters. Before I started reading Shaman King, I was skeptical because of the characters and the drawing didn't appeal to me. Then I started reading and the story unfolded before me. I was like....wow. The story isn't as great as Naruto but it appealed to me the same way it did. It's funny, fast-paced, interesting story development and

Today was an eventful day. :) In the morning the first thing I did was send my car for a long-overdue servicing. I thought it was high time I did it since my breaks are bit slow to stop. ^_^" Wouldn't want an accident to happen. Thought of having it washed and vacummed as well, but their vacuum was spoilt. :P Oh well...Went back home later on and I started thinking of what to do. Going to the

There's something about sports manga that I find interesting. I don't know...maybe it's the fact that as a child I've always liked playing all kinds of sports such as badminton, table tennis, net ball, and volleyball. I'm not much of an athelete really, but I play fairly well in all sports and it gives me the adrenaline rush. :)Reading comics is very much the same thing I guess. :D It's like I'm

Ever since the huge battle with Sasuke and him going missing, Naruto (the show) has been rather so-so in its story plot. Basically, it's all about finding clues that would lead to his wherabouts. :PLet's see, there was the one where a prisoner escaped that has a link with Orochimaru, then there's the bug that could find a person's scent no matter where they are and now there's this person that

My older sister actually downloaded this. At first I wasn't tempted to watch it because my sister said that it was so cute. My interpretation of that was it's meant for kids only. From the picture itself, you can tell.But the music drew me as she played it on tv. I sat down and the pom-pom girl just hooked me. It was cute alright. What about the story? I sat a little longer....Next thing I knew,

This anime is relatively new. Only 3 episodes out so far. :) The main characters for now are Kagemori Mamoru and Konnyaku Yuna. Both of them have been friends since childhood and they are also neighbours. Do you see the boy with the glasses in the picture? That's Mamoru. The guy in the ninja mask? That's also him! ^_^ I'll tell you more about it in a short while. Yuna is the girl in pink hair.

I thought a serious show once in a while, wouldn't really hurt, right? Thirty minutes into the movie and I still had no idea about the story. One hour later didn't really improve my understanding either. -_-This story is not only featuring George Clooney but also Matt Damon and various other famous actors such as Christopher Plummer from Sound of Music and Alexander Siddig from Deep Space Nine .

Well, this is definitely a book I want to keep! ;) This story takes off right after Mr. Darcy proposes to Elizabeth Bennet. They marry and off they go to Pemberly to start off their new life together!One thing I notice about this author is that she likes to write about Mr. Darcy's eagerness in bedding his wife! ;D lol At the introduction part, she mentioned how Jane Austen never really touch upon

I can't believe how dry this book is! ;PI made a mistake of choosing this book. Initially I thought that this book, since it was shortlisted for an award, it would be an interesting read. However, the first 3 chapters were about nothing at all that was remotely interesting!I fear that I am destined to read romance books forever if this is the kind of literature that a lot people recommend. :P But

The final title out of the The Lord series! ;D heheheThis one is about a guy who's trying to find a wife desperately but she must be docile enough so that she doesn't bother him too much after suiting his purpose of securing his inheritence.But always foiling his attempts in finding a wife is this mysterious Lord X that's writing gossip columns about him and painting him in a bad light.This Lord

The title of this anime is hard to pronounce. It's called Okusama wa Joshi Kousei. From the title it's hard to predict what kind of story it is, let alone the picture I posted up here. Translated, it means My Wife is a High School Girl. ;D heheheBasically, it's about this 17 year old school girl who's already married in secret with none other than her physics teacher!In the first episode, they

By some amazing luck, I got to review one of Ai Yazawa's work, Nana! No, it's not some tropical fruit or anything like that. It's a name. FYI, Ai Yazawa also created Paradise Kiss, in case you haven't notice. ;)Anyway, from the cover, you can see a little bit of Paradise kiss in it already. The realistic picture, and atmosphere and the type of character. But it's not another Paradise Kiss kind of

Recently, the bookshop that I regularly go to stocked up on its back titles for Sabrina Jeffries. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to read them, as it is hard to get them, I quickly grabbed them. ;DThe Pirate Lord is about a love between the most feared pirate in all the seas and a lady disguised as a teacher on a ship full of convict women heading for Australia.

Found out about this anime a month ago and decided to give it a try. Oh, before that, Happy New Year!!! ^_^"" Sorry, haven't been blogging much lately. Feeling pretty lazy at the start of the new year. Engines a little rusty. But it's starting to warm up now. :)As I was about to elaborate...Paradise Kiss.

But because I wanted to read something during my break time, I picked up Gundam Seed and I was drawn into its world.If you go

My brother got this for his Christmas present from my sister. We all sat down after dinner to test it out and we haven't stop since. ;DScryed (pronounced as "Scry-doh" in Japanese) is a fast paced action anime.

Aside from the weird title, this comic is actually quite fun to read. It's created by the same person that came up with Othello I read earlier. ^_^This one is about a female dog that met with this human boy and fell in love with him. Her owner (an old grandpa) created this magical bone (don't ask me how, they never explain it ^_^") that would change her into a human every time she takes a lick at

If you are new to fantasy and horror, this is the kind of book you would want to try. It captures some of the best fantasy and horror fiction for the year and for starters, you would want to read the best.What I like about this book is that at the beginning part of it, they give you summaries of the fantasy and horror fictions of the year and also divide it into categories such as the media,

I was looking for something new to read and this manga appealed to me all of a sudden. I have seen this around on the shelf for a long time but thought that the name was rather cheesy.The Othello I knew came from Shakespeare, about how jealousy caused a tragedy (I think that's how the story went). But this one is about a girl with a split personality. I must have missed out on that part. on

After reading Land of the Blindfolded, which has some promise, I decided to try Seimaden next....all I can say is hmmm, o-kayy....From what I can gather from the first volume, it's about this girl who lost her memories due to some tragedy and she's pursued by two guys. One guy happens to be the Devil himself and the other guy is the last of his race (can't remember what's it called) that posesses

I was checking out the manga section of MPH at Mid Valley and I found this manga called the Land of the Blindfolded. CMX mangas are new to me because usually the mangas I read are published by either Tokyopop, Delrey Manga or viz. So, now I thought I'd try their range of comics.Land of the blindfolded is about this girl who can see a person's immediate future if she touches them. One day she

This anime has an interesting story. Vampires came to earth and settled there. Then there's a battle between them and the humans. But of course, there are good vampires as well.The whole story is about the never ending fued between the two different races. Human's last hope is the vatican church.

Well, not precisely the same meaning, but you can see the pattern here. :D I can't say I promise not to read another romance novel.And, call it a coincidence, it's about this girl who has a weak hip joint and who believes that because of it she can never have children. Cause, if she does get pregnant, her weak hip would make it a difficult pregnancy. ^_^" Gosh, why is it everywhere I go, see and

Fruits basket. It's funny...I've heard about this anime for long time, but I never found any interest in watching it. But it was by chance that a friend of my sister's lent it to me. ^_^ Since I didn't have to buy or download it, I took the chance to watch it.From the first episode onwards, I was hooked! It reminded me of Ranma 1/2 somehow. What with them changing to animals. hehehe The mouse

By the way, the food got moldy because we couldn't finish it in time. And it's still sitting in the kitchen. ^_^""Nicky with one of his favourite dolls.

This is about work. My top management has decreed something that could only prove disastrous to our business. :P For obvious reasons, I can't go into much details about it. Suffice to say, the changes they've decreed would result in the customers and the suppliers being upset. :P I for one, quite understand why they would be. Even I'm upset. Worse, what am I suppose to say to both sides when they

Before you think I'm saying something sensible for once, let just say that the picture of the guy on the cover looks definitely hot. ;D In fact, he is too hot to handle as the title suggests.What I found puzzling was the choice of clothes the guy was wearing. It doesn't fit with the era of the story. :P The story is actually "historical fiction" but the guy over here is wearing some sort of jeans

It was a happy coincidence that both my colleagues got pregnant around the same time. But then tragedy struck and one of them started bleeding and was hospitalized. We haven't heard from her yet but we hope that the baby wasn't lost.And then, a few days later, the other colleague of mine also started bleeding and was also hospitalized. :P Many contemplated that the cause of the bleeding could be

I had to grit my teeth and try not to reach out for another romance novel, which was pretty hard. At last I settled for this.My main purpose was to try to finish off some of the books I left off on the shelf that's collecting dust. So, I got light reading kind of books this time. ;DI've never read the previous years' Guinness World Records. I must say that this book contains lots of fascinating

I figured, if I'm going to keep track of the calories I consume, I'm going to have to get myself a calorie counter. After all, not all products have calories values written on them.So, this is what I got. It's pretty handy I suppose. And I'm also back to recording the things I eat in my little red diary that I dumped aside ages ago. ;DSo far so good...with an occasional snack or two....

Some of you might have wondered what took me so long to blog about this movie, one that I've seen already on Sunday? The reason was I couldn't seem to find the right picture! ;DI finally decided on this particular one. By the way, I happen to have a poster also but it's slightly different.

I'm into the 23rd episode now and I'm beginning to get hooked as I am with Naruto and Bleach. :DThis anime called Tsubasa Chronicles, is a production of CLAMP. The fascinating thing about this particular anime is that all of the characters (I think) are taken from the other anime shows that CLAMP has produced in the past! The story has no connection with the other shows but they still retain

I've seen this book around for quite some time now, but I was reluctant to read it because I thought her writing wasn't the easy flowing type. But then I saw it on the bestseller list and I was curious as to know why people liked it so much.So, here I am now reading it. ;D And after reading the the first few chapters, I realised the appeal. It was about an american girl, with no idea of how a

Yesterday, I found out that I was a poor judge of character. While I was at work, this lady came up to me to speak to me. She asked me about my work and what I do and all the while she was smilling with this kind look on her face. I was inclined to continue to speak to her.Later on, I found out that she had stolen something from the shop. And while they were interrogating her, she was talking

I saw this anime on the net and decided to try it out. I found it kinda interesting. I guess it's because it has a little bit of romance in it. ^_^" heheheIt's a story about this vampire girl who isn't quite a normal blood sucking vampire like the rest of her family. Instead of sucking blood, she actually spurts out blood from her...er....nose?I'm not too clear about her spurting tendencies, but

This is going to be the last one (unless I find some more of her books to read...) of the Dark Hunter novels. I'm almost hesitant to read it because there won't be anymore after this. :(But this guy is new. He happens to be someone close to Ash aka Acheron, the oldest Dark Hunter/ God/ Destroyer to ever lived (or not). Very confusing, but it helps to read it continuously to keep track of things.

I can't seem to get enough of her Dark Hunter novels! ;D In this book, it's about Zarek, Valerius' step brother. He is a wild one and has even gone to the point of feeding on the humans he had sworn to protect.He did something in the previous novel "Night Embrace" and now in this book, he has been sent to Atlanta to be judged. And who is to be his judge? Someone who happens to be his soulmate.

This one's mate is a reincarnation of his late wife back when he wasn't even a Dark Hunter yet. And she remembers her past life too! How cool is that.

Compared to this show, Akedemi Fantasia seems better.

We all know buying pirated vcds or dvds are illegal. But what about downloading shows from the net? To me it's another form of piracy. So how come nobody has done anything to ban this too? Not that I'm complaining, since I'm benifiting from this at the time being.Let's just say that it's illegal as well, so what do you do with those blank cds they sell in shops or the rewritable disk drives (is

What can I say about these people....Hmmm.....Roslan: He can be mean sometimes, but I think he gives good comments although somewhat bias or old fashion sometimes in terms of what he likes. In the first season, I thought he was boring and I didn't like his attempts at poetry. But in the second season he's much better especially the comment "...seolah telah makan kari kepala ikan yang enak" hehehe

I'm sure some of you have encountered people or situations that just aren't right and you want to change it but just don't know how or like most Malaysian attitudes, just look and then let somebody else handle it. Lately, I've been trying to do the right things (or almost) and here's some of my suggestions:You're going up or down on an escalator, and people are occupying both sides of the

We all know it's important to read. It's been drilled into our heads since the day we could even speak. Studies have shown that Malaysians on an average only read one to two books in a year. But is that true? When I read about studies like these, I always like to know what they base their research on. What kind of books do they mean, really?Are books like comic books, fashion books, cooking books

One of the questions I always ask myself is what's my personality, characteristics or values. You would think that having my own mind and able to think for myself I'd know by now. But until today, that question is still a mystery even to myself.There was a time I was really into reading chinese horoscopes and here's what they have to say about me "in general":"The spunky monkey is the original
