INITIAL D

ABOUT INITIAL D:

It's a story about the fastest street racer of Mt Akina. Takumi, a delivery boy; Ryousuke, an engineer of speed; and Kyouichi, a professional racer: the three of them become duelists of drifts. For five years, 18-year-old Takumi has been delivering tofu in his father's obsolescent Toyota AE86 every morning. Not only has he become a good racer, but he has also unwittingly perfected the art of drifting. He was never an aficionado of hill racing until he is asked by his father to drive his AE86 in a David and Goliath race against Night Kids' EVO IV. A glorious but unexpected victory awakens the competitive genes in his blood, while his overnight fame inevitably leads to hellraising races one after another, each one more perilous and exciting than the previous one. Starring Asia's hottest heartthrobs, Jay Chou and Edison Chen, Initial D is adapted from one of the most popular eponymous manga and anime series in Japan. This is the first live-action feature based on the series to ever grace the silver screen in the world.

THE ART OF DRIFTING
The D of the title (Initial D) stands for drifting, a racing technique of braking the rear tires loose in a controlled manner right before an uncontrolled skid. Drifting is the fastest way through a corner. A car is considered to be drifting when all of its wheels are slipping, but the front wheels are still pointed in the direction of the corner, or at least straight.


TOYOTA AE86 LEVIN/TRUENO
Although out of the market 16 years ago, Toyota AE86 has become ever so popular in the used car market in Japan these days, thanks to the immense success of the manga and anime series Initial D. So many young buyers are lining up to buy used AE86 that Toyota is said to consider reviving this classic model.river of the Redsuns; Takahashi Keisuke, and there Takumi's legend begins.

Poems

You Are The Reason
by vandana

You are the one
I ever dreamnt of
you are the one to hold
The one I am still living for
The reason I ever want
You arethe season
that ever changes
You are everything
I adore
So let us open the door
Once again
We can share the dream
That the dream holds
You are the one
I ever say the words to you
The words forever
The words of love
You are the one
Iam still living for
You are the star
that shines my eyes away
Let our days are forever
Be like this
Because you are the reason
I have to come to know
About the way you feel
What makes me to think for
To feel you
When you are the reason
I never give it up easily
Because you are the reason
you are the one
You are the reason for
everything


A Simple sense of Being
by easyrhymer

A simple sense of being
awareness of who I am
just a little space in the universe
that I carry with me everywhere
another piece in the puzzle
another star filled night
when all that seems so simple
all captured in my sight
every sound around me
to all the things that I touch
just a little bit of me in this
world that means so much
with every moment captured
those safely held within
reality becomes a prisoner
of what we might have been
a simple sense of being
more then we could ever know
life goes on within and without us
a constant ebb and flow
a river of dreams that surrounds us
and a sky that goes on forever
tied to a given life line
all a part of one together


The Wonder Of Love
by JayLove

We feel if as it passes by
but never see it with the human eye
the breeze
we watch the ocean as it rolls in
we know its force, but not where its been
and the clouds up in the sky
there a mystey to the naked eye
the delicate beauty of a flower
how can it hold and capture us for hours
or the pretty sight of a butterfly
that catches every humans eye
or the warmth of the sun as it caresses the skin
like no human touch that has ever been
yet still we know these wonders are true
just like the love I feel for you
love finds its way into every heart
yet still no one knows just how love starts!

Quotes for you

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.

If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

This is what I believe:
That I am I.
That my soul is a dark forest.
That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.
That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.
That I must have the courage to let them come and go.
That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women.
There is my creed.

How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living.
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.

Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

New blogskin

I didn't noe which blogskin to choose but ijus wanted to change a new look.. hope you'll like it.. I've been looking forward to tis holidays.. i guess it's the only time i can go out, slack, wake up late... but there still so much work to be compeleted during the 1 wk holi. Went for a talk on thur.. saw eileen then she told me kee jan has graded our work. She said i got B then she got A. My heart sank i was quite dissapointed.

Now i can finally understand tt a praise from a teacher doesn't mean anything.. i quite demoralize but maybe it will motivate to work harder.. B is consider average or gd but who dun wan a A? You can produce a excellent work and many ppl like it.. but if the lect dun that mean you won't get a gd grades. I did my best and wat's count is the effort. Haiz.. picking myself up..

You'll always stay in my heart

Guess who i saw jus now on my way home? I saw my pri sch teacher (MR POH).. I'm v v v v happy. It was like a dream. I really didn't expect to see him again. We sort of lost contact a few years ago. He didn't change much. Still so tall, cool, gd-looking, fit, cold but warm inside and what's not. He's my idol until today.

But i didn't have a chance to talk to him. The bus was so crowded and i guess he has forgotten abt me?? I can't blame him.. it's been 5 to 6 years since we last met each other. But i didn't change much.. maybe fatter but definitely not taller =p Anyway, you must be interested to noe why i have such gd impression of him?

He was my relief teacher when i was in pri 5. He really put in all his effort to teach us even though he was a green horn at that point of time. Science was my weakest sub and i could still rem tt he was always by my side teaching and encouraging me. He is jus like a big bro to me. He encouraged me to work hard for PSLE. He said b4.. you are a failure if you give up!! That has become my life moto since then.

During my exams period he gave me a present. A photoframe with a note saying Zhuojie, try your very best in the PSLE. Remember you are a failure if you give up! Aft i graduated, we still keep in touch by writting letters. But if i'm not wrong we stopped writting to each other when i was in sec 3.

I tink it's fated that we will meet each other today. Even though i didn't go over and say hi or ask abt how he's doing.. but i'm already contented. At least i noe tt he is doing fine and leading a gd life. That's enough =)I hope i will have e chance to meet him again oneday.. i wan to thank him personally for being my pillar of support, for giving me encouragment n full support. Thank god for giving me tis chance to see him again. Pls give me another chance... ha ha

I miss you

The last gathering with mdm liu. She has been a very devoted mt teacher and she has nv given up hope on 4/9 even though we were a bunch of naughty n notorious students.. i jus wish to thank her for teaching me, being there for me, giving me encouragments n motivations.Without her.. i wouldn't have come so far... thanks a million =)

Stress stress stress

Finally, another wk is over.. used pen to draw portrait yest during drawing fundamentals. Again.. i didn't noe how to but just draw wat i see.. then asked valentino whether it is ok.. he said not bad.. at least he commented.. then he graded n return use last wk assignment( drawing portrait w pancil).. i only got a C =( haiz.. feel lke crying to make myself feel better.. but i managed to hold back my tears.. mum said it's gd enough coz i didn't noe how to draw in e first place.

I'm always stressed up during his lesson.. he is definitely not a gd lect.. jus ask students to start drawing.. nv really teach us anything.. at least he shl like teach the beginner like me.. walked to e bus stop w kaireen, eva n cass. Kaireen also agreed w me.. why can't he teach us?? It's so demoralizing to collect back ur work which was pinned on the board in front of e whole class.. when i only got C.. haiz.. really need to practice n learn by myself.. but where's e motivtion?? No matter wat.. i will work hard to pass this sub.. DUN WAN TO REAPEAT IT NEXT SEM.. maybe call up ms koh n ask her to give me tutor bah..
