...a holiday announcement from Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY music director and maestro, Arnie Roth

Dear FINAL FANTASY Fans,
Happy Holidays! I cannot believe a whole year has passed since our premiere of Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY in Stockholm. I am excited to announce on our one-year anniversary that we will be visiting even more cities in 2009! We have confirmed concerts all around the world, including many concerts in the USA and for the first time ever in Asia!

Our first concert of 2009 will take place at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on April 11th. And our great friend, Nobuo Uematsu will be in attendance! A special VIP meet & greet will be available to a limited number to meet Nobuo Uematsu and myself in person after the show! Please check ffdistantworlds.com/minneapolis for more details and to purchase tickets.

I am happy to announce that more post concert meet & greet tickets have been made available for Grand Rapids. They are only available by phone, so call today and do not miss out on a chance to hang out after the concert with Uematsu-san and me. We will be signing autographs after the concert exclusively for fans with meet and greet tickets.

A lot of fans have asked us when we will be visiting the east and west coasts of the U.S. and I want to thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. Your requests have been helpful in planning concerts in these regions in 2009. Today, you can buy tickets to see Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY in Seattle with the Seattle Symphony for two shows only on July 10th and 11th at 8:00pm. The Emmy award winning Seattle Symphony orchestra will be performing in Benaroya Hall - S. Mark Taper Auditorium, noted for its architectural and acoustical splendor.

Tickets will also be on sale soon for two more USA cities: May 16th with the Baltimore Symphony in Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, a gorgeous venue known for its pristine acoustics and versatility and July 17th and 18th with the Grammy award winning San Francisco Symphony! I know everyone has been waiting for these, so keep checking ffdistantworlds.com for info about these exciting events.

Asia tour!

We are excited to perform Nobuo Uematsu's music of Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY on tour in Asia in 2009! In May, we will travel to Taipei and Singapore for two concerts in each city. Distant Worlds will make its Asian premiere in Taiwan at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, and in Singapore we are proud to be part of the Singapore Arts festival for two concerts on the 22nd and 23rd at 7:30pm in the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. Tickets will be on sale in March 2009.

It been zillion years I didnt bake... yesterday, with permission, i tried baking Macaroon (muahah I dont even know what it that but is easy n SIMPLE!) so... of me go...

Ingredients:
1: 225g of Ground Almond (will taste nicer if slighty roaster - well is not in the book instruction but... i think it will taste nicer instead of raw almond touches on ur tongue later)

2. 225g of castor sugar (trust me you wanted to reduce to 50g, which i reduced to 125g and is still so sweet!)

3. 4 egg white size C (size 3)

Method:
1. Put in the Ground Almond, Castor Sugar and unbeaten egg white into a big bowl and star stirring until it mixed well :D

2. Use rice paper (alternative to this is clean plastic bag) and make it into a cone, cut a small hold and pump the mixture into the baking plate (grease it with margerin or butter, or u can replace it with edible rice paper - yes edible plz, if not the end product will stick on the paper) Note: there were no butter used hence it will stick on the plate.

3. Heat up the oven 160 C or 325 F, bake the macaroon for 15min to 20min until it turn slight golden brown~.

4. let it cool on the rack and served. :D

My 1st trial of Macaroon... muaha... the smell of Almond is oishii... (confess! my dog keep chasing me for more)

It must be destined today for me to given a task to teach my computer to listen to my commands, since i lost my languages setting. Upon searching for the language settings, i found that my laptop have this Speech Recognition Function, as curious as always, i decided to try on it. Ended up i spent my whole day trying to teach my computer to understand my English.

I have to went through a long set of tutorial before I started applying to the day to day computer activities, so I learned simple commands like, ��Start Listening��, ��Stop Listening��, ��Enter��, ��Close��, ��Question Mark��, ��Show Numbers�� and etc. oh and my most dislike word ��Next�� because the computer hardly understand me.

After finishing the tutorial, I tried to ask my computer to do some simple function, to my surprise, it did it yay her~ the Casablanca III but when come to dictation of text, she gave me only headache @@����, seems like it have dyslexia which hardly identify ��s�� which will ended up ��f��, ��t�� which ended up with ��p,b,g��, and ��to, too, two�� she failed to identify, until today I yet to teach her that word, it need patient @@���� , just like teaching a child. *maybe I pronounce it weirdly~*

I did some experiment on itunes, but she failed to identify the word I-TUNES, so I just asked her ��Show Numbers�� -> ��ok�� to start the player, and later I asked her to search for ��Gackt�� ~ to my surprise she found it in my first attempt , and when I asked her to click ��Enter�� the songs start playing ~~ aww sweet�K

Too bad when trying to listen to songs, I have to ��off�� the voice recognition instead of ��Stop Listening�� because it will react to the songs and start operate my computer without me controlling. Good experience yesterday, I let the songs run while I went for quick shower, when I came back, Speech Recognition was on, and she was surfing my blog @@����.

Overall is a fun experience, you can try it too, if you do not know where the speech recognition located, just click on Start�� type Speech Recognition at the search and have your voice on :D.

Note the tutorials were quite long�K so just be patient �K. :D enjoy :D

Extra notes: (well this is very basic which can get from the help) as time goes, it will learn new things, like now she knows that my network have a name, so when I said the name, she will search for it :D

To Start it say ��Start Listening��
TO Stop it say ��Stop Listening��
Need help? ��What shall I say�� This will pop up

To Close ��Close / Close That��
To show what to click ��Show Numbers�� followed by ��Ok��
To Enter ��Enter��
To Start button ��Start��
TO Cancel ��Cancel��
To Minimize ��Minimize��
TO show desktop ��Show desktop��

Continuos of 3 posts i talked about humming birds, because i seriously do not what to do now, today i ma make a manmade nest for them after reading DIY section from the internet.

I confronted one of the bitches, and she totally ignored me, and acted as if she was the victim instead of the humming birds.... crap! dont act infront of me i dont buy the acting... because was purely badly acted, and such a disgusting face for me to look at!

The birds came back again today, and when they saw one of the bitches, both of the birds were so angry, it was protesting with bird language! and the bitches just dont understand them...

to my horror, after confronting a bitch that swept the nest off to the drain [ and again to day she did it to the new nest], they didnt checked the nest of having eggs or not, she said she was afraid they might saw bloods and crack eggs dropped on the floor, OMG can someone call animal abuse department to summon these two bitches and the company too? nah cause this is Malaysia, animals are not as important as human!

i know i might sounded obsessive and making so much noise over two birds... they are living things too.... cant we human learn to coexist with the animals... the answer is no... because to them human are at the higher food chain... !

i composed 2 poems out of this incident... one of a very evil meanie cursing and one of a better language use... but the evil meanie cursing ill keep for myself.. lol

Green yellow feather
Flying into the city
As now is summer
Where they welcome their babies

They seek a place
To build their nest
Make it a comfort bed
To ensure their babies have a good rest

There come the human
Conquering the nest
Heart of an inhuman
Brutally attack the nest...

The poor hummers
Witnessing the attack
Protesting with their power
But could not stop the attack

I walked and confronted
But I was ignored
They were disgusted
By my protective actioned
