It's So Touching!!

I really, really rarely re-post something from another sources but this time is an exception. Because what? It's so touching!

A picture can speak a thousand words, such as photographs taken by a pair of these grandparents. Every season change, their picture taken with the same pose, in front of their home as a memento of their love journey.

From the photos below you can see a touching love story, a love story that is filled with happiness, hope, loyalty, and sometimes filled with the grief and loss.










Can you imagine what the grandpa feels?

Lunch With Them

Ahh.. After almost than one year we haven't seen each other, finally last week we could manage time to meet up. Me met Fani, Ira and Ayu. Without the lost girl Sitti. Don't know why we took less pictures last week. One of the blatant aging effect, maybe. Huahaha.. As always, there was no another better option than Plaza Medan Fair. Something unexpected happened at our meeting; Fani the most lelet girl in Medan was the first person reached the place. Amazing. Lol.





I love to snap foody pictures. They're so beautiful in my sight.

Bakso 3M


We had the discussion on time last week  and this cutie tummy asked something hot and spicy to be filled with. This bakso (meatball) was the best choice. Chang introduced me to this gigantic meatball back then in 2008 when she deal with her university entrance exam. And it tastes so good. The price is affordable for students like us. Please take a note that I am a student now. Lol.

But I was with Kak Noni. The new friend I acquainted with in my new university. I always get a free ride from her who came to campus by motorbike everyday. College is over at almost 6 in the evening. So I had to get rush to reach the mini bus stop if I do not want to miss the last mini bus.

We had a plan to give Rumah Burger (Burger House) a visit but it's still a plan. The schedules we had in our works and assignments are so tight.

Ahh.. Now, I teach in two schools, Alhamdulillaah for this chances, O Allah.. Hope you do the best in your daily lives, Pals.
Bye-bye.

Lost Souls: Enchanted Paintings


Several months have gone by since Bella’s happy and peaceful life has crumbled to dust. The police and FBI have looked everywhere for her son, but all their efforts were futile. Bella could never have imagined that the fateful package with no return address would have turned her whole life upside down.

The package was a castle painting which in the night, made her son’s soul replaced it in the frame. By the suggestion of a clairvoyant who said her son was trapped by a monstrous creature, Bella began her journey to find her son back. 

Wizard Ethiel had used frost and suffering to sow the seeds of destruction in The Frozen World, nourished The Forest Kingdom, caused an imminent full-force eruption in The Dragon Realm, fallen The Dwarven Realm into darkness and tormented the sea dwellers on the ocean floor in The Sea Realm. Helping the whole kingdoms and they will help Bella to acquire piece by piece of her son’s soul painting canvas.



Every location was so pretty really like some animated paintings. But, is it a game for kids? There was no challenge. I hate creepiness the hidden object games always gives but play this game had realized me the creepiness is the main element which should be there in a HOG. If not, it should be similar to Snark Busters. There was no interaction in the object-clicking and I thought it would be a long duration game since I saw the painting pieces spread into many canvases in the beginning. But there actually was six locations to visit. This game remains me of  Echoes of Sorrow so much -,-“




Now I know the patience to wait the crazy size of a game to be downloaded was worth my satisfaction for the game I will play. But not everything disappointed me. I love the map concept and I’m a kid in my heart, I smiled every time I moved into another location and saw beautiful sceneries with so cute creatures.

Just Some Memories

Suddenly I remember about Meteor Garden (2001). A big questions for teenagers nowadays, do you know this drama? Maybe ever heard about it? Or at least your parents ever told you about its existence. I mean, the drama ever been so booming. You HAVE to know that  There's this one weird Chinese movie which had reminded me to my first Taiwanese drama ever in where my imaginative first love had a role in it lol In case you ask what that Chinese movie is, it entitles Million Dollar Crocodile. It's about a big crocodile, a 8 metres sized crocodile, which had swallowed a million yuan from a girl's handbag. And the girl is Barbie Hsu. My expression when saw the movie was "Ehh.. She's San Chai, right? Yes, that she is!!" And then the flashback came.

The flashback how young I was as that time to watch a drama in which MANY kiss scenes were a MUST. How old our TV at that time; a kind of television which we could move to everywhere we wanted to watch it in our house. Like a pushing cart. My sister pushed it to the kitchen when she did clothes washing and we pushed it into our shared bedroom when there was a midnight movie. Our dad would not allow us watching TV at midnight. He and our mom entered their bedroom, 5 minutes later we would push it silently haha A midnight movie here is not something which showed some sexual contents or something like that. It's only western movies were aired at 10 PM above. Home Alone was one of them.

Our TV at that time was a television with a manual antenna, like insects' antenna if it's hard enough to imagine how it was like. Antenna which we had to drag it to the right or to the left, or made it stand or if not the screen would be filled with gray ants covered the whole of it. Don't touch the body or you would be electrified hahaIt's a TV without remote control, too. Talk about this remote control, ever you watched Sadako The Ring? It's about the typical girl so many guys adore nowadays: long straight hair, white skin with skinny body.

Because we didn't have a remote control to turn the TV off from the certain distance we thought was 'safe enough', I and my sister argued who should press the red button on the TV's body to turn it off. Because what?? We were too worried this would happen in our living room and there was no time to escape:


If you let me recall the older story of mine years back before the Sadako incident, back when I was a kindergarten kid. We lived in a government-owned housing in a big cocoa plantation. It's far away from the suburbs, the current place we live in. TV was a luxury at that time. We had one, but it had a bad signal catcher. That's why the state-owned TV channel which had no any cartoon programme was the best option, other than playing a wooden doll with hair made of banana leaf haha So, I and my two siblings: my older brother and sister, would join other kids in our neighbourhood migrate into one of our neighbours who had a TV with a very good signal catcher to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lol


What a random post, I know. The main point I create this entry is to remind myself what a colourful childhood I have.

Phantasmat

Woohoo. Finally I can steal the time away to finish this game. Oh my~~ This game is so creepy. Without needing to give us horrific graphic- the graphic is so poor in my sight, the storyline itself had been success to scare me. Too many paths to go through.

In Phantasmat we will play as ourselves. There's no clear character in solid appearance like most hidden object games I ever played. We'll give a role just the way we position ourselves in that game, as the main role. Oh, without conversation also. The conversation is the one-way one.


You are on your holiday. Feeling your car are getting to stray, you decide to consult with your map. But an accident happens which will lead you something terrible. A nightmare. Your car crashed and the rainy night make everything to be worst. Nobody will take any risk to approach a broken car under the heavy rain. Water is one of the best materials of electric discharges.

So you decide to enter the forest. You see an old shack and suddenly a girl come from nowhere in the dark. You tell your car is broken and you need if she can help you. She offers you to use a phone in a hotel nearby. But, besides giving you an advise, she also warn you to leave the hotel as soon as you finish with your stuff.

You walk to the hotel panorama and step into its gate. The hotel has a quite unique name. Drowned Hotel. You are welcomed by its owner. An old man. He says it's kinda surprising to see stranger visit their hotel. You utter that you need to use the hotel's phone to ask help. He allows. But a blackout comes. While the phone can't be used without the electricity. You need to fix the generator.

 
 

Your feet lead you to enter the basement through its corridor which ends in the generator room. Before you can finish your steps to your aim, the previous girl scolds you why you are still in the hotel. She has warned you to go away as soon as you finish your call. Knowing what really happen, she points her finger out to where you have to go to fix the generator. The generator is fixed and the hotel lobby is filled with lights. It means you can use the phone.

You dial the numbers and someone speaks in its end. Out of your expectation, he tells that your location is out of detection. Nolens volens, you have to rent one of the hotel's room to wait for morning to come. Your room is next to an old lady's room. She is funny, friendly and creepy at once. She tells you about what a glamorous town the hotel is located at used to be. But everything turned 180 degree because something she still conceals.

The girl actually is working in the hotel. She waits to have some time to speak with you. To tell you something you need- you have to, know. She tells that there's something terrible with the hotel, its owner, the old lady and town nearby it. She asks you to find a way to escape from there. She begs. You agree and because you need to get out of that place, too. A long search you will go through. To a cliff in the right side of the hotel which will show you a cemetery panorama and your search takes you to a diving suit. You dive to the drowned town then. Finally you find the answer. The truth that nobody except you is human.


This girl is naive. She has a romantic heart. Came to the town just to work. Not even to settle in there. Her fault for falling in love with a bastard married man. She believed when he told her that he would leave his family to marry her. But suddenly the bad news spread. The dam would collapse and people had to relocate. The girl thought the relocation was the best chance to sneak into the church to marry secretly. Wearing the bride's gown, she ran to the church with a bouquet in her hand. But her man never come. He precisely run with his family out of the town. And the girl died of drowning in her waiting.


This old man is the owner of The Drowned Hotel. His past was dark. He was a gangster member with so many success bank robberies. Found his partners got caught by police, he realised sooner or later he would get caught too. So he decided to run into a small town in nowhere to settle and build a brand new life. He tried his best to hide his true nature to give a good impression toward people there. Then he stayed in a hotel, showed the best attitude so people accept him easily. But habits which had been built for years couldn't be eliminated in months. He desired to own the hotel. Then the news about the dam which would collapse came to his ears. He worried his money would be stolen if he left the hotel. Thinking the hotel was located safely on a hill, he buried his money before running. But unexpectedly the dam collapse faster than expected. The man died of drowning with his money.


This old lady had the most sinister past among them. She was just a common young lady. With her beauty, she seduced the innocent Mayor then she became his wife. She enter the high class community and everybody knew who she was. The Mayor's wife. But she was not satisfied for always being her husband's shadow. She then killed her husband by poisoning his drink. She was sorry. Really, really big sorry in her heart. Then she rent a room in a hotel to move into because the house she and her husband ever lived just reminded her about her husband and what she had done to him. The dam was collapsed when she was in her husband's cemetery begged for forgiveness.
