I don’t quite remember where I get this comic strip, but it’s sure make me wonder of the difference between fortunate and unfortunate peoples (in a funny way that is). Significant or not, it’s a good lesson to be taken during this fasting season. To whom it may concern, enjoy your Ramadhan!

Yesterday, I had attended a seminar based on the topic “Developing the Network Content Industry“. The seminar was organized by Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in a hotel at Alor Star, Kedah. Well, the seminar is part of capacity building initiatives to develop the networked content industry which has been identified as one of the six growth areas under the MyICMS 886 implementation plan.

Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Kenichi (roughly translated “History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi”) is a manga by Syun Matsuena. The story is focused on Kenichi Shirahama, an average 15-year-old weakling, whose life turns to Hell with the appearance of the naive, beautiful, and strong transfer student, Miu Fūrinji. After Kenichi witnesses Miu’s skills in martial arts, he joins the Ryōzanpaku dojo, the gathering place of those who are truly strong, which also happens to be Miu’s home. After beating a karate student in a match, he is soon targeted by all the delinquents in the school. Since then, Kenichi’s routine is divided between his hellish training with the masters of Ryōzanpaku, and his fights against the members of Ragnarok, a gang who views him as either a possible ally or an impending threat to their plans.

Honestly, the anime of this series was recommended by one of my acquaintances. By reading at Wikipedia, it seems nothing special for me (at first) but things start to get interesting when the number of episodes increase. So, I can officially admit that I’m a Kenichi’s fan now. Although the joke is not hurting much like Gintama, but it’s still hurt nonetheless. Besides, I watch this anime because of its fighting scene (during training or battle) and IMHO, that’s where this anime excel at. Wow…can’t wait for the next episode…

Copa America had started yesterday. It will run from June 26 until July 15 at Venezuela. Although the tournament is not as big as World Cup or EURO, but for me, it’s still interesting to follow because one of my favourite teams play in it. Yes, the picture above prove it all and it’s obvious that I support Argentina. They will be in group C along with United States, Colombia, and Paraguay. First match is against United States (June 28), then Colombia (July 2), and ends the group stage phase with match against Paraguay (July 5). Personally, I’m confident they can go through to the knockout stage because all their main player like Lionel Messi, Riquelme, Crespo, & Tevez is available. My only concern is their arch enemy, Brazil. Although they enter the tournament without the likes of Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Ronaldo…I still personally think they’re a threat though.

It seems almost all tv series or anime that I followed recently had already ended their rounds. Just for the record, the series that already ended (for the current season or maybe even their entire life span) were Prison Break Season 2, Heroes Season 1, The Office US Season 3, Busou Renkin, and Scrubs Season 6. Well, in a way, it’s definitely a good news for me. With this I can burn (backup) all that stuff into a dvd and as a result I will have an ample amount of free space on my hardisk. On the other hand, my usual weekdays will become boring to the max. Although I still have other watchable stuff, it ain’t going to be the same. Oh well…it’s the nature of this kinds of things anyway…never last long no matter how good they were. What to do with that space anyway? Well, for starter, playing game I guess. Today’s game free space requirement is insane…5GB is normal nowadays it seems. Aihh…maybe I’ll start with CnC3 or even Supreme Commander. Either way, lets go to war Sargent :-p
