A visit to the Heritage Village

My parents forced me to go out of the house once in a while. So, they brought the whole family out for a dinner to a Malaysian restaurant. I never expect it’s located in the Souq area. It’s like an Arabic Heritage Village. I see the front building every day and I thought that it’s just a plain old building. But, when I went inside, it’s actually a Heritage Village. I’d never expect that the place is huge. It’s as wide as Midvalley Megamall, I guess. There are lots of things going on in there. Shops selling traditional stuff, presentation, and lots more. The Malaysian restaurant is almost at the end of the village. There were many people. It was fascinating compare to going to a normal shopping mall. Man, I’ve been living here for almost 3 years and I’ve never been to this place. I also met Cania and her friends. I was too tired to came up with a conversation. So, I just waved at her good bye.

I would usually ignore the existence of the ATM but this one amazed me. Look at the nifty shape.

Tudung Saji. My mother was planning to bring one from the home country.

They even paid attention to small details. Mine looks dull and white.

I like the swirly yellow straw.

The food that I ordered. They really touched my soul especially the fish one. I didn’t finish all of them so I decided to take them home and eat them for breakfast. I tried so hard to remind myself that greed is bad because I always end up not finishing the food.

Feng Shui.

It was in an art gallery. The entrance was free so I thought it would better to check it out.

I can’t explain. Somehow the atmosphere around it amazed me. It’s the thought of an artist.

It looks similar to Johor’s traditional instrument.

Since when an elephant(the black one) is smaller than the baby camel?

The wool was from a sheep and I touched it.

This one was nicely done.

I just love how the tall building acts as a background. They were having a cultural presentation.

Code Geass R2 ep. 10 [When Shenhu shines]

I just heard that C.C. was said to “rise” up from the waters… with her body crushed… it was too “gruesome” to show on TV said Yukana (C.C. seiyuu). Imagine that.

When Shenhu shines

Xianglin received a report that their plan worked well but she was also been informed that Zero appeared at the wedding. She called for backup but they were all tied up. At the same time, Xingke was trying to get Tian Zi back. Toudou came in and he was ordered to deal with Schnizel until Suzaku interfered. Schnizel, Odysseuus and the Euneuchs Generals decided to leave and let the military deal with it.

Xingke failed to rescue the Empress and the Order of the Black Knights managed to escape the area. Kaguya tried to calm Tian Zi down by saying that she’s almost outside the Forbidden City which is the the outside world. Zero and Kaguya tried to have a discussion with Tian Zi but sadly, she couldn’t understand such a complicated talk. Zero left as Kaguya started to have a girl talk about Xingke with Tian Zi.

They arrived in front of a bridge but there bridge was gone. The Chinese Federation spotted them. Zero had already predicted that they would fell for it and ordered all units to prepare for attack. The enemy was shocked by the ambush. Xingke who was captured with his men claimed that he would have done the same thing as Zero and told them his further move. The Euneuchs General decided to pardon his sins if he brings the Empress back.

Zero and his men received an unexpected attack from a foreign object. It was Xingke with his new Knightmare Frame called Shenhu and he’s back to rescue the Empress. It was said that the Knightmare is a “monster”. Kallen came with her Guren and launched a direct attack to Shenhu. While everyone was shocked by the equipments that Shenhu has, Lakshata claimed that her team was responsible for the project. They have doubts if India is fully on their side. Because of the energy wasn’t refilled properly, Kallen was captured.

Meanwhile, Milly was sitting with Suzaku and Anya. Anya showed Suzaku the photos that she took at the welcoming party. She stopped at Lelouch’s picture and thought that if he’s the same person as the young Prince Brittania.

Zero ordered the reinforcements to attack. The canal burst and water took almost all of the units. Zero underestimated Xingke’s plan but unfortunately, Xingke has the homeland advantage. Zero’s units sank into the ground. Xianglin said that the land was reclaimed for irrigation. She was glad that the construction was a failure due to corruption. Xingke had his “time” when he coughed up blood and he hoped that he was given more time.

Shirley, Rivalz and Rolo are switching the mini TV channels but none of them were broadcasting news about the Chinese Federation. The Order of the Black Knights managed to escape to a cave that the enemy would think twice before attacking because it’s where the past generations of Tian Zis are venerated. The Euneuchs Generals betrayed Xingke and his group when a more powerful reinforcements arrived which was Prince Schnizel.

Meanwhile at Ashford, “Lelouch” received a call that Milly is safe and he told his friends.

Why does she has to wear the traditional outfit?

Cute. Enough said.

One blow might cause a massive conflict between countries.

Look at the panda.

So many cheese-kun. Stickers, plushies *O*

The “I-have-a-wide-range-of-vocabulary-and-I-can-speak-complicated-stuff” look

ah~ how cute

I sense jealousy from the fanservice girl.

Without the funny-looking design on the face, Shenhu would have beat Lancelot’s badass level.

Lelouch has a doppleganger? with a more innocent look.

The ending is featured with illustrations by CLAMP. I really like the ending compare to the opening. It focus on feelings of the current situation in contrast to the opening which focus only on the war and adrenaline. Are they trying to portray that the Order of the Black Knights are devils while the Britannians are angels? Apparently, Rolo has one angel wing and the other one is the devil wing.

I gotta say it took me a while to catch up this song. At first, I didn’t like it. I like the part “Here I go, I’m comet”. The way they put Lelouch before the title is so kewl X3. There are some unexpected parts in the opening such as the Emperor’s Geass and the Knights of the Rounds.

Here’s our beloved prince

The old man has Geass now?
