"...yeah and so i've been watching animes..."

Recently as all of you know well of, i've been developing a hardcore habit of watching animes...after much idle/fruitful (depending on your perspective) 'research' i found that sceduled this year supposedly, is another Hayao Miyazaki (see 'Recources/Places of Interest' on your right) movie (well, if scriptwriting counts but it's also done by Gibli studios), it's an adaptation of Dianne Wynne Jones fantasy novel (also of the same title). As usual the art is top-notch and the storyline would definitely be very interesting, with plenty of fantasy elements and magic thrown in.

Curious?, here's the trailer that i picked up from http://www.countingdown.com

Art lovers, Anime enthusiasts, Designers and Everyone else in between......this is THE animated movie to watch in '05 (Hopefully it comes to Malaysia soon). I believe this might even top 'Spirited Away' (2002), garnering awards and praise.

Also today i received the news that i've been waiting for: I got the job!!!....wow, right after lunch (with a good friend ;-) i received the call....the highlight of the week i must say. Work will commence on the 1st of April, a Friday. I will probably be going down again to Penang next week, to look for accomodation. The work place will be situated in the Green Hall area, walk a few minutes and you'll come to Actor's Studio. Wish me the best, i need it!! ;-).

The past week or so has been really uncertain for me, the interview went well, yes it did, however through my earlier applications in Taiping, i had realised that it would all be a dissapointment if i had kept myself the slightest ounce of hope. I'm a pessimistic at heart, but ocassionally (frequency = ?), a part deep within me actually wants to see the light shine through, to believe and be happy. Today i felt the relief that my dark thoughts and doubts were totally unfounded. Today i feel new and excited but at the same time, i wonder, will i ever be less wanting?

Random thoughts and phrases:

"I wanted more
Than life could ever grant
Bored by the chore
Of saving face..." - 'Today' by the Smashing Pumpkins

"Desire smiles in brief flashes, like sunlight glinting from a knife-edge. And there is much else that is knife-like
about Desire..." -The Sandman : Season Of Mists

Nothing has been really keeping me in one place at the moment, i slept a bit short of 4 hours yesterday, the news of work has been elating, but yeah, i've got to sleep the nonsense off now. Later~.
