recently been damn hooked on dldling utattemita songs and albums \o/ got introduced to gero, nero, a24, senra, dasoku, sekihan, mi-chan etcetc. actually already knew their names and blah, but didnt listen to their songs and stuff. oh. but a24, senra, faneru, shamuon etcetc and a few others are new to me (: thx to shu for introing A24, gero, and a few others.
the utaite are frigging out of this world awesome! totally hooked majorly due to the voices (: ok, and a lot of times catchy songs.

Point Five [.5] is AKKJHSFJALKAHFLKSJALH \o/
been putting this song on repeat quite a lot these few days XD love it so much ~

oh right. the kagamine twins also got a collaboration album recently called [Kagamination]. just fyi (:
~~havent exactly listened to vocaloid much since i've gone to the utaite craze, but kaito's still an exception XD~~

too little time

2011-07-06T23:18:00.005+08:00

ARGH. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S WAY TOO LITTLE TIME TO FINISH ASSIGNMENTS AND STUFF OTL
~~ok, it doesnt help that i waste time reading manga and stuff too, but still XD~~

week 12 of school. abt a month more of chionging final assignments and stuff before its the long hols \o/
3MA: the human modeling
PBM: jump animation and push pull animation. then still need to complete portfolio stuff, then render all animations and stuff tgt into a showreel
SSS: 2 panels of digital rendering from our original script. at least 20 panels of storyboard for our original script
FDW: no final assignment given yet
IB: i dont know what the shit is going on for this.
those bolded are basically our final assignments for each module OTL SHIIIT. hope i can finish. and do relatively well and be able to keep my gpa as it is AND NOT LET IT DROP.

and i've found out we have um... how should i put this... pretty interesting lecturers in da :/ hahahaha. ahem.

--------------------------------

quite a bit happened since sch started again for the new sem i guess. its alr the 2nd wk anywy. but then cant exactly rmr now OTL geh.

read till latest chp of noblesse and enigma XD finally brought myself to catch up with those 2 series. damn exciting as always XD the both of them. not bothering to go into details.

ohyeah. and fluffy and her friends are ordering stuff from sharkrobot.com now so she was asking people if they wanted to join and order stuff too cos now is free shipping XDD I AM GETTING AN ATTORNEY AT LOL AND GURRENMON SHIRT \o/ WOOOOHOOO ~~
sam getting the edgeworth shirt and saac's getting like a whole ton of stuff. and i'm paying for shu's shirt 1st too cos she has no money now. ~~not like i have much now either after cosfest OTL~~ need to earn/save moolah pretty badly.

apparently prime gym is having quite big changes in management and coaches in the new term (started this wk, so that means i got work on sat). cara's taking over willie as new manager of prime in sept i think. then laila and yan are quiting so now they're looking for full-time rec coaches. huh.

-----------------------------------

mich tanzil and bekah came back from the us and aussie respectively \o/ but then today mich is going back to indonesia for a month then coming back again before heading back to the us again ):
havent met up with bekah yet, but met up with mich twice since she was back for the past week (:
personal opinion. being in the US had a seriously negative impact on her.
i dont like it.
managed to talk with her quite a bit (: kinda happy i'm making her laugh so much now. ~~cos of my lame-ness -cough-~~ she invited saac with us for dinner too. kinda awkward for him i guess :/ i felt bad.
honestly speaking, i cant say i was surprised. no joke. bekah and i are worried. bad. sigh. and its not like talking to her will work.
catching up was pretty good XD she's been gone for what. abt a yr? i guess. and she's doing damn frigging well in her studies (:
and its not like talking to her will work. she already has the 'american mentality'. and has gotten a shitload more vulgar and rude not to mention.
she really is pretty amazing.
in more ways than one >:/ both good and bad.
fuck this. (please excuse my language too. yeah i admit i've gotten more vulgar too, but at least i know, acknowledge, and try to control it.)
cant wait to meet up with bekah soon XD really looking forward to it ~ bekah definitely got prettier too <3

-----------------------------------

today's pappy's birthday \o/ so frei and i gave him a card. but meag needs to write in it when she gets back home from asean school games. she's staying at ntu now.

cut cake from him just now (: and mama braided the asean school's mascot's hair/mane. so cuute XD
tmr going to yeema's place for his proper bday dinner. missing cca ): but going to yeema's hse for dinner always means great food so \o>

that's kinda all i can rmr right now i guess. shall leave it as this till i can rmr more stuff... then add them in 8)

2011-06-28T12:13:00.014+08:00

right. its been 2 days since COSFEST X was over (:
been wayyyy too shagged to blog abt it properly oTL actually now also cant exactly be bothered much, but since i am NOT doing work in class and instead wasting time here (its phillip's pbm class btw) might as well put up a blog post on cosfest and what not.

right ok. still pretty tired now and wanna take a nap quick b4 lesson is over (that's in an hr) shall just anyhw do this 1st, then maybe come back to edit it later. maybe.

--------------------------------------

DAY 1

cosed Ema Skye/Houdzuki Akane from the Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban game series. glad it turned out pretty ok and wasnt a cosfail \o/ whoohoo ~ a lotta people couldnt exactly recognise me as usual (i kinda take that as a compliment actually XD sorta means i'm cosplaying not too badly. to me at least.). heheheh ~
~~and my mum said i looked pretty too 8D ahahhahaah~~

only a small group of the ace attorny grp i'm part of turned up in cos. met fluffy (machi), kyo (feenie), hikaridranz (older ema) there, plus other people like theo (iris) and the other ema in our grp XD but other than that, didnt see any other ace attorny cosplayers. apparently someone said they saw a lang and edgeworth on day 1 too, but I DIDNT SEE DDD8 I WANNA SEE A GOOD LANG COSER SO BAD.

anywy. most of the day just hung out with aranee (misa), hung ard shu and alasse's booth and yongwei's booth, ran ard, went merch shopping, posed for photos etc.

met aranee on the mrt otw to downtown east (: she lost her death note so wanted to get one at cosfest, but pitb wasnt selling it that day -__- so she only had a coolio puzzle apple to pose with -pats-

had lunch with her at subway yum. ahahah. that was pretty late like after we reached and finish touching up makeup and other crap.

the jtc people most of them were there too. here're photos of them. didnt take any of the ones not cosing though D8 ttly shouldve. only rudy got a shot.

obviously i met so many more of them... BUT I SHOULDVE TAKEN MOAR PHOTOS.

so many cosers there XDD thank gdness ema has a bag which i could dump stuff inside like my cam and phone and money etc XD

but then my prink princess badge that was on it dropped off D8 ah well.

OHYEAH. in the acm, there was an ACE (one piece) cosplayer that had FRIGGING ABS. it was pretty hot. his ace was pretty good. buff and correct kinda body type/shape, but then it wouldve been greater if the makeup had been done better. but still. it was hot XD too bad didnt see his performance on stage OTL by the time i wandered there he had alr finished OTL and didnt get a photo either O...TL
didnt exaclly watch acm much. not the kinda person that's super interested in competition performance kinda stuff anywy. day 1 was the solo cosplay comp.

it was really really fun when the grp of us just like stood there and started talking abt the most randomest things and the convo just flew by (: and not all of them were even THAT familiar with each other XD hahaha. guess that's what cosplay and socialising does to ya. its amazing really. to me at least.

that's pretty much it. left at abt 6.30 with aranee to share a cab to serangoon mrt, then i straight bused home.

also remade lag's shindanjyuu, the nocturne #12. i think it turned out pretty ok for my standards (: better than the 1st time ryo, akari, satoru and i made our previous ones. but then in the end, abandoned the gun with my bag cos it became too troublesome to carry ard OTL ahahahhaa. thank gdness i made parcels and letters too XD

the only other person from my team that cosplayed tb with me was our aria (yukibear). at least i wasnt like totally alone. hung out with her for a bit of the day. but then didnt stay tgt much.
didnt even manage to get a photo tgt with her though. ARGH OTL failness DAMMIT.

so actually i spent like DAMN FRIGGING A LOT THIS COFEST LAH OTL
needa start saving money. guess it'll be good if i layoff cosplay and spending on other stuff for 2 months or so. but planning is still fine XD

giving some stuff to bekah and mich tanzil and tacia. gave small brs badge to anatakaasan (classmate), small chii (the cat) badge to freddiefish, and then also gave away my kogarasumaru badge to lucien cos i felt bad not rmring he liked ag quite a bit and helping him get stuff OTL ah well.

prints, postcards a few stickers \o/

my badges

they're all so friggin adorable XD

-------------------------------------------

right. and so this is my wall now after i've rearranged some stuff and added the prints and blah that i'm confirmed keeping up there XDD
thought they'd actually take up more space, but apparently not \o/
~~so that means like i can add more stuff up there when i get more nxt time 8D~~

that's it for cosfest. right now dont exactly rmr the finer details and such. just that i saw usual faces and all and made a few new friends too (: too bad quite a few of my usual closer friends didnt go :/ jy for 'O's and whatnot guys!

nxt cosplay event's in a month time. streetfest. dont think i'm cosing. cant really be bothered to get a cos (even a simple one) ready in a month and i dont think taobao order can make it in time and blah. it'll be good for me to save more 1st too. still needa prep for my coses at the end of the year >

Nanami from Katanagatari for afa and Ming Huang from 1/2 Prince for eoy. ming huang 'll be pretty tough. i think the most complicated cos i'm gonna try for so far (: cant wait though ~

also got a few other simpler plans that i can sorta take my time preping ~ awesomez. (:

wasting time. what's new.

2011-06-24T00:36:00.006+08:00

right. ive just been tumblring for like an hr. ahahahaha. what's new. -shrug-

sent my laptop for servicing on mon, and got it back in the evening just now. no wait. its already yesterday.
the stickers on the keyboard area part are gone though. cos that whole part was changed to new. so it feels pretty cool now. new keys and stuff. so clean. but then the mass of crap on the front of my laptop is still there 8D ahahaha. woohooo. its alright. i shall add more crap to this new clean areas and they wont be clean anymore XDD alr added a domomomo sticker to it XD shall hunt for stickers during cosfest maybe (:

anywy. here's a tribute to the stickers that are now gone and lost forever )8
i really loved them too.

---------------------------------

right. so the time i didnt have my laptop with me, i actually managed to complete quite a bit of cos prep. this is the state of the work area in my room now.

as u can see, i'm not done with lag's DAMN SHINDANJYUU NOCTURNE #12 yet. GAHHHHH.
i've totally said this so many times alr, but... WHY DID GAUCHE HAVE TO CUSTOM MAKE SUCH A GUN. AND WHY DID SYLVETTE HAVTA GIVE IT TO LAG?! AND WHY DIDJA HAVE TO TAKE IT LAG?!
sigh.
one day left to complete it.
still dont know if i should bother to make a gun holster for it now. dont think i have nuff time anymore. dammit. at least i've finished most other prep for my coses. most. not all.

THINGS LEFT TO COMPLETE

EMA SKYE:
1. get a pink pencil/notebk (fuuu---. i dont have a flip-open-from-top-type notebk OTL)
2. fill test tubes
3. make pink princess badge
4. finish styling wig (ugh. this is hard OTL)

LAG SEEING:
1. finish making gun (still need to sand, add in front parts, stick on trigger and other thing, primer coat, stick on craft foam parts, spray paint, add in details) (it sounds a lot more when i list it out like this DAMMIT.)
2. finish letters and parcels. (the tough part might be adding the wax stamp on them :/)
3. make gun holster (if have time. most prob not guh.)

i have 1 day. 24 hrs (before i'm forcing myself to sleep earlier b4 event). 10 of which i can most prob cancel out due to sleeping/eating/showering/other daily stuff. holy crap. that's like almost half alr OTL hopefully wont havta cancel out more hrs from wasting time. like now. fuuu XD aahhahaha.

-------------------------------

~~i'll worry abt my sch homework that i havent done on monday 8D~~

and i realise i have like so many series that i said i'll catchup/start after cosfest o___O

COUNTDOWN TO COSFEST: 1 DAY

~ March To The Victory (Soba ni Oitene)

1 week to cosfest. what am i doing?!

2011-06-17T20:51:00.010+08:00

right. i've been procrastinating. as usual. what's new.
basically this is what i've been doing the past week =w=

------------------------------

finished till latest ep (ep 11) of Tiger and Bunny \o/ its pretty awesome ~ superhero anime ftw. ahahahhaa.
not to mention there's just so much yaoi fanart of the 2 of them PFFFFT. but no. really. it has NOTHING to do with yaoi at all yeah.
love the animation <3 its awesome. looks super high tech and stuff, but the characters still retain that 2d animation kinda feeling (: guess nowadays more and more anime are starting to become like this :/ but dont rmr if i've watched any other anime that has animation like tiger and bunny so far.

its not MECHA if that's what ur thinking -_-

basically its abt commercialising heroes. so in the anime ya can see many different logos and brands on the characters' hero costumes and such. ahahahaha. like pepsi nex, softbank, bandai etc

----------------------------------

watched till latest ep of Sekaiichi Hatusukoi. ep 10. was already following it anywy (:

ep 10 was on hatori and yoshino. but i still like the couple of yukina and kisa best out of the 3 XDD (even though the main couple is takano (WHO IS VOICED BY KATSUYUKI KONISHI ahem) and onodera 8D)

takano and ritsu

hatori and yoshino

yukina and kisa

----------------------------------

read a pretty good yaoi that left a quite a nice impression.

Kimi ga Koi ni Oboreru (You Will Drown In Love) by Takanaga Hinako

its 3 volumes so far and i guess it's finished publishing. i think. its prequel is not bad, but this one is A LOT better. and longer. (prequel's only 1 vol long, and is mainly abt reiichirou's younger brother though it involves reiichirou too).

jinnai (right) and reiichirou (left)

hmm. dont think i should post a naughtier pic XDD ahahahahaaahahhaha.

and i dont know why, but somehow this art style looks damn familiar... maybe i've read one of the mangaka's works before.

-------------------------------

but yes, other than that, still continuing yaoi manga and stuff. found another yaoi mangaka with a pretty art style XD AND ITS A GUY. AGAIN. coolio much (: kisaragi hirotaka. gone through most of his works already \o/

actually was thinking of starting on panty and stocking after tiger and bunny, but uh... didnt feel like it in the end... guess i'm not really up for that kinda animation much :/ its cute though, but not really for me i guess -shrug-

still sick since tues OTL ugh dammit. I WANT TO WORK TMR FOR THE MOOLAH. i need it. for cosfest. got worse argh... hope i dont end up passing my cold to the kids tmr when i coach. and dont kill my throat in the process too OTL

tmr also gonna go drop by singapore open to maybe help out a bit. maybe. ah well. even if i dont help out, shall just go down to watch maybe. whatever.

AND I MANAGED TO INTRODUCE APHORISM TO A NEW PERSON \o/ HELLYEAH. ehehehehehe ~ ahh yes. i owe him money now cos i borrowed money for Aphorism vol 6 today. ahahaha. but vol 6 wasnt that interesting a volume -_- UNTIL THE LAST PART. its like SUPER NICE. then a little boring. then NICE. then boring. BUT NOW I CANT WAIT TILL THE NEXT VOLUME COS IT'LL BE DAMN INTERESTING \o/ WHOOOOOOO. COMEOUTQUICKVOLUME7OKAY?!

and right now freida is telling me abt green lantern -_- not like i'm listening that closely... but i'm not such an insensitive sister really. i'm still sorta listening. sorta...

COUNTDOWN TO COSFEST: 8 DAYS.

ugh. shit. this SUCKS. I'M GONNA CONTINUE COS PREP ON MON WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY START ANEW AND CONCENTRATE FOR THE 5 (maybe less) DAYS THAT ARE LEFT GAH. and also not be so distracted cos bringing laptop for servicing on mon... and collecting lab coat. and here i was thinking i didnt really need to do last minute work dammit. DAMN U BRAIN.

._______.

-------------------------------

today was Japanese Tsubasa Club (JTC) Cosplay Div cloth outing. and was one of the ics. basically had to bring freshies of club ard to cloth and other shops etc. and so... most of the day was spent herding sheep 8D ahahahahah.

met up with shu, yvonne, mido and shizuka for lunch, then meeting time for club was 12.30pm, bugis mrt. most people were relatively on-time. MOST. not all. duh. it would REALLY be a miracle if everyone was on-time =_=. set off for arab street, gim joo ard 12.45pm. but then halfway walking there there were late people D8 gah. so pee and i went back to get them. then after getting them and joining up with the rest, i managed to find jewels for lags shindanjyuu at a shop \o/ whoooo! was looking for them cos couldnt find @ daiso anymore )8 thank gdness \o/ ~ but then wee yin was late =w= so i ran back to get her gah. was sweating quite a bit... ~~but then actually i dont sweat as much as many other ppl so ehehehe.~~ my stamina sucks bad. ugh. ah well.
it was a PRETTY BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE.
basically went through arab street, gim joo, went to the textile centre and blahblah. then headed to chinatown.
reached ard 3.10pm, then had RECESS. ahahahahhaha. at chinatown point. had koi (senior helped me get XD) and double choc muffin for tea, then tried to get nice stamps (but failed) while mido, fluffy, yvonne, shizuka, shu and a whole lotta other freshies were at pitb. till 4pm. met up again at mrt to go peoples park centre. basically was tour guide and brought them ard 2nd lvl. shu brought them ard 3rd lvl, then we swapped grps.
met up with hikaridranz too and got stuff from her XD fluffy got to try the karintou (that i really didnt like XD) and really loved it. ahahahaha. then hikari hung ard with the grp randomly with fluffy.
abt evening we were kinda done, so had some short debrief thingy, then attendance taking by bentoh the boss XDD then everyone was let off.
by this time, we pretty shagged alr cos adrenaline and energy had all kinda dissipated OTL
went back into peoples park centre to collect tailored stuff. measured and retailored. while waiting for retailoring, went back down and chatted to seniors for a bit again. then waited for wee yin to eat then go collect stuff. both of us went with shu went to get polyester stuffing and thread for her stocking plushie. after that, shu and i went plaza sing to get stuff. we kept like screwing up and all cos our brains werent working right. 1st got on the wrong mrt (opp direction), then missed out stop, then went wrong way in dg mrt stn. at least i did. not shu. she realised in time. ahahahahhaha. was so dying.
shu really is extremely great company (8 shes amazing. and im more fortunate, than i can imagine, to have her as a good friend.
got stuff we needed and blahblahblah. then had some dinner. and while eating standing at the table, pee, mudkip, shota, and ben10 (friends from JTC) turned and up and joined us + convinced shu and i to go sit with them at ljs for dinner XD talked and joked damn a lot. headed for home around 9.15pm.

everytime i go out with the JTC gang, its coolio awesome fun XDD i really really love my cca and the members. its so freaking easy to click with them (8
got to know more abt freshies today too XD can rmr more names now. ~~i think~~.
and today was SUPER productive in cosplay prep for me XD now mostly its just the stuff i need to work on by myself for my coses for cosfest. ahahaha. ~~dammit~~.
im so glad im a part of this cca XD and have the chance to actually love it after spending 8 and a half yrs of my life in something that i wasnt THAT fond of after awhile.

and now i am broke TT3TT -sobs-
gonna get pay at the end of the wk. BUT STILL. gotta save up so can splurge during cosfest 8D means curbing spending. really.

I SHALL START ON WORK (COS PREP) TMR AFTER I WAKE UP. (without an alarm 8D)

I will do a confession for every like I get on this status."

so yeah. that's what i did. got 16 likes so here's my 16 'confessions'.

my favourite genre of manga is yaoi (TECHNICALLY all u guys alr knew that but 8D)
i never understood why people have this misconception that yaoi fangirls would be les. um... common sense would tell ya that if a GIRL likes looking at GUYS go at it, wouldnt she be SOMEWHAT STRAIGHT? or at least BI?! cmon. ohyeah. forgot to add my actual confession. i'm straight.
and have a boyfriend. but some ppl alr knew that. (seriously. it'll be effing retarded if i was les and have a bf. i mean like... WHAT IS THIS. I DONT EVEN... ugh.)
actually enjoy polluting people's minds with yaoi implied crap and seeing their reactions. its vastly entertaining.
wasnt a very nice kid when i was younger i'm ashamed to say :/
honestly even now, i'm not as good as a lot of people might think. HEEEE.
my lameness, irony, humour and weirdness is mostly thanks to my family. i have a weird family. (and now i understand why my mum married my dad. it's all the jokes. which we dont laugh at, but she does)
only had a few guy friends before getting into cosplay and poly. like less than 5. no joke. surprised i could actually get along properly with them wts OTL 'they'rrhumanstoothey'rehumanstoo'
i dont like fruits and would rather not eat them. besides crunchy apples. and i say i eat veggies to make up for it, but honestly, dont eat THAT much of them either.
get nervous pretty easily. but my nerves are pretty good too. just get it over with asap. CHIONG AH.
i dont hate people and try very hard not to. so if one day i actually start to hate you... that'll be pretty bad :/
family is family, but tbh, dont exactly have a good relationship with them. the jokes are good and all, but, well, there's more to 'family' than inside jokes.
one of the worst times when i feel helpless and immensely frustrated would be when i cant take off my earring cos its too tight. (and it hurts). another time would be when using maya to model.
i dont like pain. but pretty tolerant with it happening to me. physical and emotional. mostly physical. unless its maya. then uhhh... EFF MAYA.
i'm moved to tears extremely easily. and a romanticist.
i dont wanna grow up. ever. even when i was younger, NEVER said or even THOUGHT of wanting to 'grow up faster'. yes i wanna grow taller (which i never will), but that's another matter altogether -_-

so now u know. DUNDUNDUN. anywy. whatever.

----------

besides keeping up with like other yaoi titles and sekaiichi hatsukoi anime eps, havent been keeping up with any other series at all OTL hardly been reading manga/watching anime cos of assignments and too tired. guh ): only started on a shoujo series (pretty glad i can still enjoy a pure shoujo romance after being corrupted so badly XD). TBH only started reading the series cos the guy in the series is srsly pretty hot. no kidding. saw pictures of him on tumblr and was like *_* so yeah went to read it. its pretty interesting i guess. but then now i'm getting slightly bored of it :/ its like the latest chp that's out alr so ah well. chp 32 i think.

DENGEKI DAISY

ok. NO. the story doesnt progress as fast as what that picture shows. its pretty slow. but i really quite like that pic so 8D
and lawl the guy's surname is kurosaki. kurosaki tasuku. gahahaha. nope he doesnt have orange hair =w= he has blond hair. and i think he looks better than ichigo. ahem XD its a guy mangaka btw (: absolutely LOVE the way this kurosaki is drawn. esp his face 8DDD
and there's a woman who's surname is onizuka too. onizuka riko. ahahhaaha. nope she doesnt have blond hair. not like onizuka eikichi XD

-----------

guess that's abt it so far. not much else i can think of atm.

2011-06-04T22:30:00.007+08:00

oh wow. apparently i DIDNT bitch abt maya here more than once \o/ ~~at least not yet. still need to get through nxt term OTL but will worry abt that later~~

ah whatever. so far yeah i'm still alive \o/ woohoo. nxt mon's the start of the last wk of sch b4 term break poly hols for 2 wks. its test week too. joyness. i'm just glad i'm not in a course that focuses on written exams OTL thank gdness.
mon is storyboarding test. tues is 3ma maya modeling test ~~(i am prepared to fail this. but still. gonna try my very best and hope with all my heart.)~~... other than that, we dont have any other tests \o/ so ie. dont need to go to school on wed and thur \o/ but fri we have makeup lesson for pbm >:/ ah well. at least its in the morning.
oh. but then to be able to finish pbm assignments, gotta go sch on wed and thur to do animations :/ ah well. animations are pretty fun (: its the modeling that's shit.

today morning till early aftnoon went out with hikaridranz for ema skye cos stuff XD super productive 3 hrs abt. kinda done with all i need to get for ema alr except for bag strap. then that's it. the rest i gotta do on my own at home. mostly just painting and other stuff. YES!! THANK U SO MUCH HIKARI. and she introed me to some new utattemita plus youtube singers plus i have now a little bit of motivation to read/watch level e, beyblade and kamen rider. HAHA. coolio ~ she's so nice. really.

i did stupid stuff. so mum was pissed at me. as usual. sigh. i'm tired of not fighting back and just taking in everything. i've done that for... what... the number of years i've been alive. sigh... i wonder when i didnt exactly fit into this family much anymore. for many many things. like how when they talk abt their upcoming stuff and news that's gonna happen or crap like that, i'm never there so i dont hear anything, then no one bothers to tell me. and yeah i dont ask. or how when they walk when they're out shopping, i'm always walking behind so i need to strain my ears to hear what they're talking abt. so i end up stepping on their heels a bit. then when i ask that woman to repeat what she just said, she says i 'wasnt paying attention'. seriously. its fucking frustrating. and its not like i walk behind cos i want to. at first it was cos there wasnt space to walk WITH u guys. so now its i'm FOLLOWING u guys. now its a habit. reflex action. cos i dont bother anymore. hell. and then its like now, when i try to tell them abt what's been going on to me when that woman asks, she cuts me off in the middle when i'm not even done talking to talk abt some other stuff. and its not even to me. it sucks when that happens. i know. that's why i never try to cut people off and let them finish their say dammit. so what happened to that teensy little joy that i had for that moment? its flushed down the drain. no shit. and half the time when they talk, i dont understand a frigging thing. cos its all abt swimming... then i wonder... if meag didnt swim so hard. and if frei was in another sport besides swimming... what would they talk abt? would we even have proper conversations like this? abt 80% of the time, talk abt swimming would come up. ok, i get it that meag is like abt SEA games level now. that's amazing i have to agree and support. but really. even dad doesnt understand u guys. if he doesnt, i wont. so then occasionally when other topics are up, i try to make joke, be sarcastic, and then try to irritate meagan and frei cos its like a sibling thing. and ya shoot me down by saying i'm too sarcastic and i shouldnt talk like that. and then u're pissed at me. fuck dammit. fuck. what's a little sibling talk to ya?! we're not the same as u and yeema! we insult each other! its like a way of sibling love that's pretty natural! i dont get what's so wrong with it. its not like they both dont insult me either. maybe its just cos u're not there when they do. sad huh.

~~i should totally stop this negativity -_-~~

wow. ok. didnt mean to type so much. it all just came spilling out.
dammit. its turned into another bitch post OTL i'm a fucking idiot. yeah i am.
and no, i dont think i'll tone down my cursing and swearing when i type. i wont say it aloud, but not gonna care when i type my feelings out. this is me. i'm sorry if ya dont like it. i wont change for anyone. if i do, it'll be cos i bother to make an effort to.

hmmm... update on cosplans and progess for upcoming cosfest.

2011-05-30T21:18:00.003+08:00

right... now i'm here to bitch... cos today was a shitty day. at least AFTER i got to school.
maybe i should just give 'maya bitching' a new tag of its own =w= then whoever's so inclined to read those posts abt the swearing and the rambling and the bitching, can just click it and TADAH.
this most prob wont be the only one anywy.
oh wtf.

somehow in the morning felt damn shagged even though its like monday and STILL early in the day =w=

SSS lesson was cancelled in the morning today so at 1st i was 8D cos then i had time to go collect the stuff i ordered from kae (binder, wig caps, wig, shirt). got the stuff, and i'm happy to note that the binder fits quite well. yay \o/ but as usual with all most binders with velcro on the side, i'd have a little trouble putting it on well. -shrug-. ah well.

after that, reached school at abt 11.20am. when i stepped into the classroom where most of 2M01 classmates were, it kinda hit me. didnt feel too well. got annoyed easily, didnt talk much, didnt smile much either :/ hmm. didnt notice it much since didnt talk much just now, but my throat was aching a little. only realised it was in pretty bad shape otw home, but will cover that later.

went in the class. finished up Waruii Yatsu Demo Ii (yaoi), then went to mac lab where other da class was having 3ma with jim, to continue on maya modeling, squeezed next to danial (he was using his laptop, i used the mac lab comp).
managed to get through most of it. thx to the guys ard me and one piece songs XD hahahaha.

lunch. mac was nice and helped me get food. helped ppl get drinks.

back to maclab for 3ma portfolio lesson. completed more modeling.
wasnt in a good mood. sam came for lesson like an hr late. haha. she shouldve just pon lesson instead.

didnt help my mood when i realised my throat was in extremely bad condition. it hurts so bad to talk. and swallow. and it even hurts when i'm not even doing anything. but it hurts the least, so that's what i do the most.
did i really overwork it that much last wkend? most prib during coaching :/ but really? well its fucking irritating. i need to talk softer but still be able to get the point across. its a skill i have not yet achieved and might never do. shit. oww my throat. its like i have an ulcer there... owww.

when we got chased out of the dot at 6pm, still wasnt good. didnt help that keane's music was on so loud. or that cy and isaac were esp making so much noise. sigh. still irritable... at least shu and shizuka and yvonne sorta cheered me up a bit...
i regret hitting mac so hard for raising his voice at the stairs... and hitting isaac too. argh. apologised alr, but still really frustrating not to be able to keep my emotions in check properly.
and what's even better is i left the stuff i collected from kae this morning at the mac lab OTL its in a quite unnoticeable place (so unnoticeable i forgot to take the plastic bag) so i think its quite safe till i go retrieve it tmr.

fuck i hate maya modeling. its a bitch that wont go away. despair has a new name. i swear. after starting on 3ma module for maya modeling, my swearing percentage has probably gone up like 10 fold. no joke. and i bet the number of times i get mood swings has sky-rocketted too. most of the time i dont even get mood swings during period! its hard NOT to be stressed and frustrated while doing maya if u're like maya-idiot like me. scratch that. i'm not JUST a maya-idiot. i'm worse than that. ~~fuck this.~~ i suck so bad. dont even know what i'm doing most of the time. and cant even TRY to work on it at home cos my maya on my laptop lags. ARGH. its even worse to think that knowing how to model with maya is like a basic skill in animation. THIS IS MY COURSE DAMMIT. how the hell am i to survive if i cant get through this?! but its fucking hard. and i'm still struggling. like a pair of invisible hands are dragging me down in the quagmire. or quicksand. or a swamp. and like its so hard to fucking breathe. my brain hurts just THINKING abt it. imagine doing it. bet i'm like the worst 3ma student ever. even those people who at 1st had trouble like me, are managing great with maya now. they've alr completed the shoe assignment which i havent even fucking started. i really applaud them for doing their best. but me? cant even bring myself to do modeling fast and efficiently. like what jim said in his class just now: the difference between a pro and an amateur modeler is speed. i know. that shows i'm worst than amateur huh. how bout... novice? same thing. wonder what's worse than an amateur in this context.
~~fucking worried for my gpa now... gotta work harder for the rest to make up for it... but even so, it wont make up much.~~

...
guess that's pretty much it.
~~great. now my brain hurts. and my eyes sting a little. joyness.~~

throat's still being a bastard as i type this. and i' totally putting off having dinner here :/ guess i should go down and eat. seriously.
till nxt time.
gotta get other work done and stuff.
not to mention juggling cosprep too. sigh.
~~a lot of times during prep i wonder why i cosplay. then i gotta remind myself. its the end product that counts.~~

just tried painting ema's white-framed-pink-lens specs. hating how its so hard to get an even layer of paint on the glass.
might havta scratch everything off and redo dammit.

Archibald and The Blue Blood Conspiracy

2011-05-28T23:20:00.003+08:00

just finished reading Archibald and The Blue Blood Conspiracy yesterday.

its written by SherMay Loh. mum's cousin. so technically my aunt twice removed. but meag, frei and i didnt know her b4 hearing abt her bk. haha.
was curious so got it from kino. the synopsis sounded pretty interesting too.
turns out it really was good. loved the interaction between the characters cos it all felt extremely natural. and its not unbelievable either. the story i mean. sort of.
kinda like a cross between harry potter and detective work, but there's no magic. a lot of harder words were used in the bk, so maybe might be better for an older audience instead of preteen, but the writing is awesome. for me at least. the humour was great XD

having trouble uploading picture of the bk cover too D8

did i mention the illustrations are nice too? there're a few in the bk.

she's promoting her bk at kino main branch (taka) on the 11th of June, 2pm, and mum got the invitation, so gonna drop down and get the bk signed and show some support 8D
too bad its only released in Singapore so far. hope it sells well. its a good bk and really deserves it.

but then after that gotta rush to Orchard Central cos fluffy and kyo have convinced me to cos youngster tgt with their pokemon trainer team. HAHAHAHA. its easy to prep for it anywy. just gotta find a blue cap and MAYBE paint my yellow shirt left is all. then can use my killua reebok blue shorts, borrow meag's white and blue track shoes, get white eyeshadow for highlighting, and i'm all good for it.
fluffy = bug catcher, kyo = fisherman. was hoping to convince tranq to cos black belt, but then he's concentrating on 'O's alr. (kyo actually has 'O's this yr too, but 8D). ah well...
but srsly. it'll be pretty epic XDD \o/\o/\o/ ~
looking forward (:

ohagi making!

2011-05-28T22:38:00.009+08:00

so... not too long since my last post huh. ahahahaha.

posting on an Ohagi Making session i attended at Beyond Language School (my jap language sch) just now. 9 people took part in it then there were a few senseis and a some other organisers and such.
it srsly was really fun XD ohagi was pretty simple, but as always, takes a lotta practice to make it right and look not-out-of-shape. heheheh. apparently some japanese also have trouble getting to make the ohagi look good :/ or at least that's what one of the organisers said. -shrug-.
tacia was there and her younger bro came along too. he's pretty cute (: the both of us helped him while he laboured (:
there was also a 'Kawaii Ohagi Competition' that everyone took part in. basically just present ur 'best' ohagi , then everyone votes for the best one. ahahaha. tacia's bro won XD ahaha, he kept asking people to vote for his so 8D

here're the photos one of the organisers took of the event 8D

and here're the ones i made:

stories on wattpad

2011-05-24T23:52:00.004+08:00

got a wattpad.com acc. tacia introed the site to me awhile ago (a month?) for like posting and reading stories and blah. here's my wattpad profile.

nothing much. but ya guys should go read tacia's stories. they're damn good!

just joined 2 wks ago and posted a short story then.

wrote it on the long way back from school (1 1/2 hrs). its basically based on the "What if..." qs and ideas we came up with during Scriptwriting lesson under Chet (he's a cool tchr). everyone in the class had to come up with a "What if" as an idea for a story. there were some freaking cool ones like gary's "What if you were everyone and everyone was you?" and sam's "What if you woke up to nothingness?" etc. actually came up with a lot of "What if"s in my head, but then i liked the one i shared in the class best: "What if homosexual relationships were the 'norm' and heterosexual relationships were 'weird'?". ahahahaha. a lot kinda cringed at the idea (: ~~yaoi inspired ahem.~~ but i really dont like discrimination against homos and bis :/ that's just me.

If She Only Knew is just a scene of a boy and girl at a restaurant tgt, but twisted a bit to fit my "What if" statement.

____________________

the 2nd story that i posted there is my final script for assignment submission. had to write a script for any kinda short story. posted the format of the story in script version so yeah.

its called The Bird & The Boy and is basically about this bird showing his gratitude to the boy (for saving the injured bird) and wanting to pay the debt and befriend the boy.

ok. that's abt it.

i'm in year 2. hellyeah.

2011-05-24T22:26:00.008+08:00

its always like this... whenever i come across TITLE. i get deterred.
thinks: "i feel like blogging." -opens new post window- -stares at blank page- "ok, nvm." -closes window-
-_____-"

havent posted for a month now. lotsa stuff happened. but of course i dont rmr much of them =w= hmmm. shall just crap basically what i rmr i guess.

SCHOOL
yep. its been abt almost 2 months since school started (now on wk 6). and i'm now in year 2 \o/ so proud of myself for surviving yr 1 of poly mma XDD ahahahaha. still sorta surviving yr 2 so far. but then maya is killing me. will bitch abt that later 8D
so basically, now in year 2 i'm in Digital Animation specialisation in my course (Multimedia and Animation). split up with the old 1M04, but then many of my classmates are ex-classmates so its good. and now quite familiar with the rest of the people in my class i guess (: 2M01. most of 1M04 went to da. only a handful went im. like cy, isaac, ryan, pang and rebecca. hahaha. only 5.
yr 2 doesnt feel THAT much different. as usual. but then its cool cos now i have juniors \o/ fluffy and enma are in mma yr 1 8D hahaha. and then i now know a few others from mma and a3da yr 1 too thanks to jtc cosplay (: will get more to that later. got juniors from other courses too (: like nat (rachie's bro), euphie, yu xuan etc.

ok. now to the work and assignments part. i pretty like the modules this term (: they're all pretty fun actually. sort of. EXCEPT 3MA (3D Modeling and Animation). THAT TOTALLY SUCKS LIKE SHIT. cos we need to use maya as a modeling software. AND I SUCK TO HIGH HEAVEN AT IT. LIKE SERIOUSLY. even cried a little cos of it. fucking stressful. no shit. most ppl in the class are also finding 3ma a nuisance much OTL dammit. need to at least pass this module cmon. ARGH.
besides that, there's PBM (Principles of Body Mechanics), SSS (Scriptwriting, Storyboarding and Storytelling), FDW (Figure Drawing) and then IS lesson which this term is IB (Idea Blueprint) ~~which is an effing waste of time.~~
SSS is not too bad. i love the scriptwriting part of it. damn fun. have to submit script for assignment. extremely proud of mine (: shall post it on wattpad, then link it later.
FDW is ok. a new model comes every wk so we need to draw them in their underwear.
PBM's bearable cos its based on ANIMATION. and not MODELING. we still use maya tho. used toon boom the 1st 3 wks.
IB is stupid. waste of time =w= go to sch on fri for like 2 hrs from 10-12noon for lesson -_- but then its still ok cos i love my grp (: damn hiong! we chiong finish stuff pretty fast and everyone does their share. gotta love this grp \o/ 5 of us. rudy, marilyn, qisong, eddie and i.

now on cca. phew. cca's pretty happening now 8DDD hahaha. vice-head of jtc cosplay div so quite involved with sessions and such. still got so much to learn from seniors tho! kinda scary, but got awesome clubmates and seniors to help 8D its great! 8D but quite a bit of responsibility and extra time + effort involved XD the turnout for this yr freshies to the cosplay div is good. hope it stays that way and doesnt become like our yr when besides those that made it to the main comm and gls, we only have like 3 left? hahahaha. sad case. jyjy jtc cosplay div!

COSPLAY
besides helping out for soyc (which happened on 9th april, a wk b4 sch started), nothing much else i guess. soyc was pretty tiring. but an awesome experience. not gonna go into details, but was outside in the heat doing ticketing with a grp of ppl > shu, isaac, shizuka, yvonne, jim, wong yi and 2 more people whose name i cant rmr OTL sorry. bentoh was ic of finance so basically ic of us. cosplayed matryoshka teto again cos no other coses. my nanami wig didnt come in time for event D8 got to see tranq with fake abs, lyra in a bee suit and fluffy in cotton-wool-like-hair 8DDD hahahahaha. saw many other ppl i knew too. those few days b4 soyc was damn busy prepping an blah esp for the seniors who organised the whole thing. helped out day b4 event till real late too so stayed over at shu's hse and helped her prep her xanxus cos and stuff (: \o/ someone stole our stuff that we left at ticketing while we were having club meeting wtf. poor shu lost her valuables. sigh.
shopped to my heart's content during soyc too XDD
ok. nuff abt soyc. cant be bothered to continue.

i should stop getting more books. novels. already got so many at home i havent been reading, then still have the temptation to get more everytime i go kino or any bkstore =w= wts. and summore nowadays chionging sch work, also no time to read. or cant be bothered to. or no motivation to.
still reading manga. still love yaoi. still watching anime (but not much). got started and finished many series these few wks, but cant name all. kinda happy i still appreciate and love normal hetero romance stories (: hahahaha. but then i think i'm getting kinda sick of shoujo... and maybe moving on to stuff like josei instead :/ dunno.

some of the stuff i read/watched/started > aa doujins, cg doujins, higashi no eden, butterflies flowers, lots and lots of yaoi (sex pistols, koisuru bokun, okane ga nai), ao no exorcist, ayatsuri sakon, shinrei tantei yakumo, enigma etc

"otw back to hotel in a cab now.
went to KCC to shop. it was a shopping mall with all the big brands and such. not much shopping i guess? at least not for me and rachie. had nando's for 'lunch'. wasnt hungry tho. so shared ceasar salas with auntie florence. it wasnt that nice to me @ least :/but food is food.
auntie florence got new heels.
i was kinda falling asleep a little while walking ard. like if i stood still i would fall asleep OTL.
then after awhile i was awake again.
went kino there. it was like 2 lvld, buy i think s'pore's taka one still much bigger. the prices for stuff was abt some too. so didnt get any bks.
BUT. i DID get a new small-ish everlast haversack XD
kinda happy abt that. it was a nagging feeling that wont go away. so bought it in the end. the price was pretty good too. 39.90R. less than S$20 \o/ yay ~
going out again later.
now i'm kinda looking forward to using the new bag and pinning my badges on it back in singapore.
hahaha.
wait till i get back."

"brkfst @ the hotal restaurant, Flavors. it supposedly ends like now. so i'm guessing food will start to clear soon. waiting for rachie to finish eating yet again XD
i'm kinda worrying abt what to get for meagan and freida OTL. and saac. i'll feel bad if i dont find anything for them :/ but then i'm not someone who can randomly pick something to buy for people. its more like something catches my eye that i think the person might like then i get the nagging buying feeling. that's when i actually buy stuff. the nagging buying feeling. but i dont get that feeling for food. its only like things that i want,
now talking abt hw the president of singapore is a figurehead. and that he doesnt sing the national anthem during ndp. haha.
so full. not gonna be able to have lunch. at this rate gonna have like brunch, tea and supper again.

kinda looking forward to school on mon a little. i really quite like going to sch in poly actually. its a lot more enjoyable than secondary at least. but i've never really hated school. cos of the people there. i hate the work, but not going to school.
O___O
there're only like one other table besides us left with ppl still eating.
haha.
wonder where we're going today.
here's hoping we mind find an otaku merch shop which i MIGHT be able to splurge in \o/ XD hahahaha. wheeee ~
its 10.58am. food has been cleared from the brkfst buffet... and rachie still has abt 2 small pastries left.

"let auntie florence read this notebk of mne. she was laughing out loud for certain parts 8D
haha. now she's headed up to the room 1st. rachie still has abt half a small pastry left.

the last guests besides us in this restaurant left at 11.05am so yeah we're the last ones left here. heheheheh. sigh XD

M'sia KL

2011-04-14T00:29:00.002+08:00

right now i'm in M'sia KL with auntie florence and rachie for a short hol (:
gonna go sleep soon, but just wanna get this up here b4 i lose the spark for it and then forget or get too lazy to put it up here.

inspiration from Japan ROCs sabbaticals trip in sec 3 so right now i'm scribbling a short diary/journal here while in m'sia. sorta. like whenever i'm free or whatever would take out notebk and scribble random shit that i can think of atm. gonna re-type them here. then later post a few photos of the pages. its almost impossible to read properly tho. unless u know me. cos my handwriting is friggin crap. hahahaha.

alright. here goes.

13/4/2011 (wed)(ie today):
12.25pm
"in msia kl with rachie and her mum. writing this in taxi so handwriting sucky like shit. but idc. as long as i still can sorta read its good 8D
its supposedly an hr ride to hotel. we're staying at swiss garden hotel. rachie gave me the taxi ticket :D hahaha. so i'm keeping it for like memories.
writing this cos got an urge to have a short diary like my black book from japan ROCs in sec 3.
the taxi uncle's really nice. he's talking to auntie florence in the front.
rachie pointed out he's not wearing his seatbelt. hahaha. apparently he worked in spore as a cab driver in town area for 5 yrs. huh.
rachie's borrowing my digi cam now. got lotsa sky photos from the aeroplane flight (WINDOW SEAT HELL YEAH) \o/ -wiggles- tho the flight was only like 40 mins =w=.
oooh. we see this ufo like building that is an international convention centre. (drew a disgusting quick shape of it. post later).

i'd totally be lost by myself here. one reason why i'm not keen on many holidays that involve shopping OTL. ah well looking forward to this trip :)
heehee. we're making fun of what the hotel website said abt getting there in half an hr from airport. at what. near 200km/hr?! hahaha.
i realise this is like the 6th (or more like 5 and 1/2) time i'm overseas without my family. i think pri 2 was for gym comp. mum only came just to watch, but i stayed by myself with other parents & friends for awhile. then pri 5 gym comp in western aussie. then sec 2 comp in aussie again. then sec 3 ROCs and recently OIP in wuhan XD and this. tadah! \o/ hahaha.
i'm getting bored. gonna try sleeping a bit i guess.
12.54pm now. but then i forgot my watch is like 7 mins fast. so just uh... minus the mins off urself please. all the times here would be according to my watch btw.
oh. we finally got off the raised roads.
its drizzling...
1pm. #nowplaying え？ああ、そう。- Nico Nico Chorus
huh?! we reached. its only been like 35mins. ok. the hotel website wasnt wrong after all."

there. time for bed. will continue posting when i can. night.

ohyeah. results came out on 25th march. i did okay i guess. expected. guess results dont really effect me very much anymore. dont know why. im always excited to receive it, but then it doesnt make much impact on me. even since secondary sch ~~maybe cos my results in sec sch wasnt good in the 1st place XD hahaha.~~ ah well. i gotta work hard for poly. my basic mindset will always be to do my best, and heck care the rest. im not one to do well when there are goals and an ulterior motive... anywy. here it is.

recently after finishing up kyo kara maoh! the main thing ive been doing has been tumblring and reading yaoi manga. haha. and only a few other NON-YAOI manga 8D hahaha. seriously. its just been series after series after series of yaoi. for the new spring anime that just came out im really interested in Sekaiichi Hatsukoi XD its yaoi. durh. by the same mangaka as junjo \o/ the manga is still ongoing and its been real great so far. kinda same kinda story format as junjo. like theres a main story, then 2 other side stories going on at the same time. pretty cool ~

been having quite a few dreams when i sleep lately too. and this time i actually rmr them when i wake up... and they all dont really make sense i guess... tho its pretty cool how the manga ive read sorta affected them a little XD

last thurs evening 1M04 2010-2011 had steamboat at sams hse. it was good. there wasnt much space, so we took turns eating, but it was cosy. photos are here.

uwah. dont have much time left b4 the end of hols...

getting used to getting lotsa sleep

2011-03-21T23:57:00.003+08:00

been getting lotsa sleep at night lately XD hehehe. actually its mostly just cos i set alarm, then when it rings, i turn it off and go back to slp for like an hr+ at least \o/
can do that cos recently slacking at home a lot (:

taking this time to catchup on anime. after Katanagatari, finished Higashi no Eden the series and now abt halfway through Kyou Kara Maou! booyeah ~ enjoying myself completely XD
~~and then when i need to force myself to go out to get like groceries and stuff so reluctant and lazy OTL~~
i like conrad XDD and yuuri <3 cos yuuri's so cute. and conrad's hot. ahahahaha.

last wkend helped out at prime comp. this time dragged friends along cos they could get paid. lazy to go into detail here :/
got to see and finally talk to krys and chloe after so long <3 really missed them. but then now they know. and i think quite a few of the coaches know too =_= meh.

last friday went on a date (: hmm. as usual we couldnt come up with much to do, but it still turned out good. ~~ok, i'm just happy i was out with him, but that's beside the point.~~
met up to have lunch and then wandered ard kino at taka... watched I Am Number 4... then had ice cream and sat outside taka. it was cool how we just talked abt random stuff for like half and hr. b4 catching sight of yvonne, mido, shizuka and one more senior (that i dont rmr the name of) so went over to say hi. then he sent me back home :)

sat had work in morn, then met rachie for some 'diving' practice thing for sun. had fun trying stuff for diving. but then i still wont join it for like regular trainings and all. i wanna give up regularly going for trainings and such. had enough of it for 8+ yrs of my life. and also cos i dont wanna barge into certain friends' scene and then stir up some not-so-nice feelings, that kinda thing.
actually sat in the awesome hot-tub-thing at tp pool for almost an hr and talked (: ~~i seem to like talking a lot... actually sometimes i do.~~
went to town and had dinner with rachie at amk hub on sat too. went ion to go uniqlo and cashe cashe (she likes those clothes shops). in the end, i ended up getting a one piece shirt and a naruto shirt \o/ HEEHEE.
got called in on sun morning to take over another coach's classes. after that was totally fun only cos of the ppl i hung with. rachie, kenneth and bryant. won stuff for the sch and 2 medals + an arena bag for best partner \o/ ahahahahaha. retardedness. there werent any competitors for tertiary division so =w= still hoping can ~~con~~ get np to give us cca points for participating in the interschool diving comp. heheh.

after so long finally bothered to re-download gyakuten saiban osts. had them long ago, but when my other comp crashed forgot to re-download. so... now i have the 4 gyakuten saiban ones and the 2 gyakuten kenji ones + the orchestral and jazz gyakuten saiban \o/
cant wait for the new gyakuten kenji 2 game to come out in english! its already out in jap and heard it sold extremely well from the 1st wk it was out ~ CMON. GET TRANSLATED FASTER PLEASE.
and when i save up enough money, i will go get ghost trick too! yay.

ah. the thing abt 'saving up' reminds me. gotta REALLY save up if i wanna get an ipad 2 with 3G capabilities at the end of the yr (: mum said to wait till the early glitches in ipad 2 are fixed b4 getting it so gotta wait till the end of the yr. ah well. i dont mind waiting. it'll be something to look forward to.

ah. ohright. crap. gotta make meag's bday prez tmr. or else wont make it in time for wed OTL
tmr gonna bake more cupcakes, then on wed morn (b4 going badminton with classmates) gonna bake oreo cheesecake for her bday cake to celebrate at night XD ~~if she doesnt wake me up early in the morning i wont make it =w=~~

wow. ok. ended up posting a lot more than i intended to in the 1st place =_= alright. gonna stop here since nothing else is coming to mind now. wanna get back to Kyo Kara Maou! ep 46 anywy XD
~~huh. i realised i havent taken any quotes from Kyou Kara Maou! ah well.~~

~ Katanagatari

hols has started. BANZAI.

2011-02-22T21:17:00.003+08:00

been a month since last post. a little tired of blogging nowadays so... this is a refresher. just a shock to keep my blog alive. STAND BY. CLEAR. -ZAAAP-.
argh. that was freakin retarded if i say so myself.
cant believe i just had a problem of trying to come up with a title for this post till i rmred its hols. wts -facepalm- sigh.
got motivated from cy to blog so... yeah... here i am.

its the 1st wk of hols for us MMA students. and that means i've successfully graduated from YEAR 1 and am now in the process of getting to YEAR 2. feels bittersweet.
sweet is cause i'm glad i've gone and managed to make it through year 1 in MMA. it was one HELL of an education time (:
bitter is cause i'll be leaving 1M04. i mean like we'll forever be a class and all, but cmon... i cant say not having lessons with the same awesome people every single (ok, MOST) wkdays wont take its toll. they're the most awesome peeps i've ever met. and every. single. day. i thank god and whoever else that's up there that i've been fortunate enough to meet them in this short lifetime of mine.

a lot of things happened this past poly year (2010-early 2011) cant deny that. guess i'll do a list on what i can rmr atm (: sorry most of the time my memory fails me and i end up impulsive. in the order that my random mind has come up with:

1. 1M04. alright. this is totally indescribable. love them to bits. srsly. they're not only there when sch work gets tough. they even cheer me up when other more private shit happens. because of them, i've come to analyse, contemplate and think abt how lucky in the world to call them friends. to me its like they give a fresh new meaning to that huge definition of the word 'friends'. i could totally go on to praise and sing they're epic aweshumness, but right now let's just leave it at this... (cos i might lose the track of this blog post and frankly, i'm kinda lazy to. forgive me.). sam. i owe her the most. without a doubt.

2. my relationship with mum. this, i admit and am not proud of, has deteriorated drastically this past year. i'm not joking when i say that its am immense burden on my mind every single effing day. most prob has hit a peak awhile back when um... stuff... happened when i was alone with her in the car. i dont wanna talk abt it, but some ppl already know. but right now its become just a fuzzy memory that i force myself to forget abt. but then you see... i think abt it a lot... and i dont really hold it against my mum. to me its just immensely sad. when she has the outburst of course i'm mad, but then after calming down and THINKING, i dont hold it against her or anything... and i know my actions havent been great either. its just so sad i could cry everytime... (i've been doing so more often anywy). i still love her tho. and its not always she's like that. but still... it leaves a bitter taste.

3. i realise i havent been as close to my family. i guess i'm sorta GETTING it... the growing up bit i guess. TECHNICALLY, the 'family' i talk abt mainly is my mum, but yeah... it affects the whole situation a lot.

4. new room furniture. yes i got rid of my old furniture and cleared the freakin pigsty my room was. yes i got new furniture and now really really like my room quite a lot <3 i used to hate staying in my old room, but now its become what i've always wished for when having my own room: a sanctuary.

5. isaac. alright. wow. my fingers actually stopped typing when i came to this number. i guess right now i'm not afraid to say it anymore. i have a boyfriend. that i think is waaaaay to good to me... a lot of times. hahaha. honestly... its a LOT easier for me to rmr his awkward points and all that other blah as compared to his good ones... but (this is pretty much thanks to all my friends, be it in sec sch or 1M04) i've come to think so much deeper about people. and i realise i take niceness for granted. so yeah. and i'm really not afraid to say that i love him out loud anymore.

6. become less noob at the computer. this was friggin random. but yes. THANKS TO 1M04. i am not as noob as i was at the computer... considering how long i've been familiar with web surfing it was definitely an eye-opener.

7. my hair. ah right. that was a pretty big step really. but then. i didnt feel THAT much difference cos frankly, i wasnt the one staring at my own face every single day XD hahahhaa. pitied more of the ppl who would see me with my new hair. PFFFT. but i'm quite proud of myself from going through with it. totally feels like an initiation into the life that I'VE WANTED TO LIVE since a long time ago.

8. rachie. hmm. the only person i've been really close to... since pri sch... its a miracle really... that i have such a good friend. to be honest, i cant tell her EVERYTHING going on in my life, but then i can tell her just enough for it to be special (:

9. last but not least (cos i cant think of any other thing right now), i've finally realised and noticed that i'm actually growing up. and so is everyone else around me. i look back at the past and see the future... everyone's so different. frei's taller and more bimbo. meag's more sarcastic. rachie's prettier. the hamster club's definitely changed quite a bit, but in a way we're all still similar. the people in 1M04 are so different from when i 1st met them in march last yr... these are all just examples i guess.
and thinking abt this, i dont regret having this habit of snapping random photos whenever. photos are the ones that give a tangible feeling to those memories. i cant even compare myself to how i was in sec sch now... (and YES, i need to hold my tongue and not curse so much now =w=).

guess that's whatever i can bother to put down right now. whoa... so much for self reflection.
feel great now tho. that i've written all this down.

that's pretty much it then. wanna enjoy the hols as much as i can, ie, manga/anime/cosplay/friends/trying not to make mum angry. uhhuh.
I'LL BE BACK. just not anytime soon.

working on kicking the procrastination habit

2011-01-25T23:10:00.003+08:00

got a little motivation from sam to blog. i think nowadays i wont be posting so often... and cant really be bothered to follow up on outings and other blah anymore. too lazy. just random catchups and thoughts.

new furniture for my room comin this fri (: actually supp to be mon, but then date for them to come pushed forward... dumped all the boxes in my room to the guest area again. hehe. i dont get how meag and frei can have such few stuff, then i have like boxes and boxes OTL might be cos i'm too sentimental and end up keeping crap =w=

metup with the hamster club recently (: in such a friggin long time. camwhored so much XD it was great seeing them again. really really awesome ~

kinda falling asleep in front of the comp now. shall head to bed.

forcing self not to start on any new series or novel till after final projct which is due in 3 wks abt. D8 sad.
gotta force self to do work... but then been falling asleep much easier at night lately DX

i found Aphorism vol 5 and Karnevel vol 2 at the shop beside the deli in sch 8D yay ~ cant wait for aphorism vol 6 XDD its like the only series where i can seriously LOL at a character dying (: it was a little sad that tomonaga died tho. but in a way that's pretty good cos it shows that aphorism is a believable enough series for ppl to die so easily. to me at least. -shrug-

he cut his hair. pffft. its seriously kinda funny now XD took a lot for me to control not changing my expression when i 1st saw it. took even more for me not to laugh out loud awhile later. was shaking from the effort. hahahhahaha.

been hanging out with rachie more often too (: like dinner and such. yay ~

hmmm... cant be bothered to talk abt much else.

its boxing day in singapore. the day after christmas. and for me, xmas is officially over. even though there's still the 12 days of xmas and whatnot, for me xmas is still only on the 25th of dec. period.

haul for this yr is awesome XD even tho i'm like turning 18 nxt yr, most of it were games \o/ heheheheh. pleasant surprises really. ok. fine. MOST of them werent really surprises either, but idc. finally have the chance to play a psp that i can call my own and project diva XDD whoooooo!

grandparents and i are the only ones awake now. just fin mopping the house. and now it feels so clean. yay. forcing myself to blog here. cos sometimes it gets boring just recapping everything that happened to me. yes, i know i'm a sucky blogger and i think everyone does cooler posts than me, but i wanna keep track of all these kinda stuff (: so sorry if ya find this boring, but its my blog and i can do whatever...
ok. now THAT was kinda weird. since when do i post the above stuff anywy O___O there's something wrong with me =w= -smacksself-

ah well. back to christmas. dont forget the real reason for it btw.

wasting time

2010-11-25T14:44:00.002+08:00

right now in the classroom with the gamers, mac, cl, jeremy and sam. decided to catchup on blogging. as usual, that's wad i SAY. but might not DO OTL sigh... anywy...

sch has been a little hectic recently... but still surviving i guess. somehow scraping thru. still hoping to do my best and try to keep up my quite good gpa (according to my standards) this sem. ahahahhaa. i'm thinkin it might be a tall order =w= sigh... wateva. shall do my very best. at least i noe i tried.

i dont like 3dd. srsly. everytime its lesson, i feel DAMN stressed. like for yesterday's portfolio assignment i handed it up late online cos got stuck doing adobe illustrator... i hav a mutual hate relationship with ai =w= was trying to do the same thing from 10pm-1am last night but then cos of the majoy lag and hanging couldnt fin. after that fell asleep on the sofa till like 5am. woke up to find my right arm swollen @ the elbow cos of numerous mozzie bites there. wa lau. stupid mozzies. continued wad i was trying to do on ai. gav up. went to sch. then jeremy helped and i found out i was doing the wrong thing for 4 and a 1/2 hrs. WTF. sigh... at least the bites werent itchy anymore when i got to sch cos i didnt scratch them.

been havin more time on my hands recently too. cos since now afa's over, no nid to rush cos like siao. might still nid to hurry a little, but not that bad. and oso i turned down christina's request to make a video for her presentation for the wuhan china trip. too much pdw and ani hw OTL got a job request from maya's dad (prime) too. abt video making and editing for prime, 1 abt 15min video every wk. gonna turn down cos i think i wont be able to handle all that wad with sch and blah. sadded. it's gonna be such a good opportunity tho, good experience and i think might be good pay. but hav a sinking feeling will die cos cant cope. so nvm.

mum's been EXTREMELY volatile lately... got a new curfew, cant wear my usual clothes out (need to wear nicer), must pack hse (this is usual) and a whole load of other crap. this all happened in the morning in the car =w= one reason why i dont like mornings too much. and why i slp in car rides, or listen to music. cos she's pissed, i get pissed too, but then it doesnt last long. hahaha. its frustrating, but bearable. and its best if i just do wad she says... or at least dont get caught when i DONT do wad she says 8D hehehehe.
avoid meeting her in the morning... and avoid meeting her when i'm wearing slippers or 'sloppy' (in her terms) clothes.
he cheers me up pretty well tho (:

now reading 3 new manga series.
Karneval was recommed by fire and so far its ok. the guys are kinda hot and cute XDD hehehehe. i like gareki XDD
Defense Devil was recommed by cy and the 1st chp was really quite cool! so yeah. now only on 2nd chp.
Nurarihyon no Mago (Nura Rise of the Yokai Clan) is a relatively new series that popularity seems to be rising. and saw a few posters and cosers from it during afa. it kinda looks a little like kekkaishi (accidently mistook it as kekkaishi OTL oops.). anywy. yeah. havent actually STARTED on it yet, but then hav the window open in firefox now. ahahaha.

frei just got back psle results today. ahahha. all 3 of us got close marks to each other. its cool that the 3 of us dont really compare scores and all that crap (:

------------------------------------------------------

went out to watch megamind with ryan and dyl and meag and frei and ming to watch megamind recently. megamind was funny (:

oso went over to godma and godpa's new place. they moved to the same condo yeema and uncle spy are staying in now XDDD quite cool. had nice dinner there with oli and her family, uncle weeliang, and godma's family. cant be bothered to post up photos. check them out on fb.

-------------------------------------------------------

falling asleep in front of comp =w= sigh. as usual. didnt get much sleep the night b4 too.. sigh... shall take a quick nap.

AFAX

2010-11-19T09:06:00.000+08:00

last sat and sun was AFAX @ suntec city from 9am-9pm 8DDD \o/
sorry for posting this kinda late :/ been kinda busy.
cosed for both days (: enjoyed day 2 tons more than day 1. cos day was was kinda a bad day for me DDDX lost my phone on day 1. sigh... keep losing my stuff OTL i dont even cry anymore...

sat (13th nov 2010) day 1

cosed killua from hunterxhunter that day. originally was gonna meet hoshiko in the morn to pass her some stuff, then go to suntec straight after that, but then got a call from vinny askin me to go collect her wig for her cos she left it @ home. it would be an understatement to say i was frustrated. kinda pissed actually.

procrastination will be the death of me

2010-11-09T01:22:00.001+08:00

i'm not joking. seriously. it will...

been procrastinating A LOT of work for the past 2 wks and therefor i'm now paying for the consequences DDX
this blog is an example of my procrastination. notice the STILL unfinished posts from wuhan... and just recent past post and blah? yeah. that's evidence.
~~this evidence will EVENTUALLY dissapear after the end of this wk, but heck.~~

argh. this wk's hell. cos didnt do perspective drawing (PDW) hw from last wk, now got like 4 sketches to do + 1 bigger sketch of part of school canteen 3 OTL then oso nid to finish a flipbk. sketches plus bigger sketch due wed. flipbk due thur after getting it into the computer BEFORE handing it up.
this is SCHOOL HOMEWORK ONLY.
oso nid to find a way to convert fcp video file formats to a-something-h-blah format ~~(dont rmr the full name =w=)~~ + edit tgt videos from when we were in wuhan for tcher (get cca points for this tho. negotiation).

AS FOR COSPLAY.
AFAX is this sat and sun... so yeah... chionging cos here =w= cos was away for a month, plans all screwed. then last minute vinny persuaded me to join her vocaloid blaze ver team for day 2. so now prepping for that. plus nid to re-touchup killua's cos... gahhhhh.
for teto blaze ver, still nid to finish weapon/axe/thing, get (with vinny) and alter skirt, receive (still shipping) wig and vest, paint sneakers and quite a few other stuff OTL
for killua its mostly fine i guess... just nid to re-style wig and check boot covers (still phail).

and afa tix this yr is ex yet again. $15 per day for stage and festival entry... tempted to just get ticket for 1st day :/ hmmm... but still cant decide.

right now thinking of doing an all-nighter just to try and finish most work. prinny (my flipbk penguin) needs my attention... and i NEED to do the sketches.
its only sports and wellness module + idea jumpstart later, not such a big deal. then after that is a little sketching then nid to head to meet mum b4 going airport to pick maggiemee up (:
i can nap whenever later. hahahaha.

actually asked isaac to ring me to wakeup call, but still not that confident i can ACTUALLY wake up and get to sch on time. I DUN WANNA DO MAKEUP LESSONS DDD8
coffffeeeeeeeee.

been manga and anime deprived cos too busy wasting time doing other stuff OTL CMON. I CAN SURVIVE TILL THE END OF THIS WK!! I WILL. and then go catchup on series and other blah i've been putting on hold.

k. enough destressing and bitching abt this topic. back to work.
i think my nxt post might be only AFTER afa... guess so (: hope i enjoy it a lot and everyone else does too ~

2010-10-21T18:24:00.009+08:00

but she should totally go sleep soon =w= its like 3+am there now...

been back in singapore for almost a wk now (1 and a half more days and it'll be a wk).
still adjusting back to the weather and getting settled back into reality. ahahaha.

on the sat and sun evening after i came back from china, went to support maggiemee for her fina world cup swimming finals. she got into finals for a few events (: after both days she got 2 8ths, 1 7th, 2 4ths... I THINK. IF I RMR CORRCTLY. and i dont exactly rmr which events OTL vaguely, but not sure... sigh... uhhuh. yeema, uncle spy, ryan and dyl was there for both days too. and grandma (dad's side) was there on sun. havent seen her in awhile.
~~yes, they all saw my new hair.~~
dad and i thought she would scream @ my new hair, but she didnt. she said it made me look younger. and it was nice... WHUT. eh. okaaay... thx grandma (: ahahahaha. i'm not sure if she was controlling herself tho :/ hard to tell.

sat totally slacked the whole day till went to support maggiemee in evening...
then on sat night was requested to go for vinny and cloud's tsunaxkyoko ps the nxt day. thank gdnesss it was in the late morning so i could go (: they asked me to bring my camera i hav no idea for considering they already had ssa and ayanami (2 pro photogs!) to photograph them =w= so i ended up sking in the end. hahaaha. it was a very sweet ps. at 1st had some trouble trying to get a feel of the kind of shots they wanted to take, but then ayanami suggested fan pairing (which is damn easy considering they're ALREADY a couple) and the shots got TONS BETTER.
had jap class in aftnoon from 2-5pm... homg... nid to work DAMN FRIGGIN HARD TO CATCHUP WITH MY JAP LAH. missed 5 wks worth of lessons OTL damn scared i fail now, then end up wasting money. ahahaha. mum said its not so bad cos then its dad's money. ahahaha. sigh =w= borrowed tacia's jap bk back to copy down notes OTL

so... as u can see i did NO WORK RELATED TO WUHAN TRIP IS REPORT AND JOURNAL on sat and sun...

and i had started to miss the rowdy neighbours i had in china. ahahaha. really missed them all... but guess we can never go back to that. time to move on.

------------------------------------------

and so... on mon... met up with saac, marky, sam, chang lin, macaroni and cy to finish wuhan journal and report cos it was supposedly due @ 11.59pm that day. macaroni and cy just came along for fun (: ahahaha they got the -ahem- privelege -ahem- to see my hair. heheh.
went sch @ usual time friggin early in the morning (7+am) and met saac at atrium. it was nice to see him again (: went up to check if class was open. it wasnt. so waited there for awhile. then figured it wasnt gonna be open for the day so went to makan place and saac got bf. then sam said cy said it was open so we went back to class and found yvonne there XDDD chatted and hung out with her till everyone came and she had to go for some class. DID NOT DO WORK till lunch OTL promised to hav lunch with rachie so met her and talked/ate. ~~i told her in dribble.~~ but then she hadta leave fast DDDD8 sadded. went to the attic aft lunch to continue ~~yeah right. more like START~~ work...
I NEVER KNEW THE ATTIC WAS SO COOL. REALLY. ahahhaa. there werent many ppl there cos it was hols, so that was good 8D
oh yeah... saac made me fall and drop my mac pro on my ankle =w= owwww. @ least it didnt drop and hit the floor... i think i'd rather ankle pain than heart pain OTL.
got some work done, but it was slow moving for me OTL sigh. the attic closed @ 6pm so we had to leave. had dinner, then moved to the atrium (no ac D8). cy was giving his junior bridget chem tuition for a day so said hi (:
didnt get much work done @ atrium... sigh... then i had to leave @ 8.45pm OTL failed time in sch DX

chionged @ home and somehow managed to hand up report and evalutation from @ 11.59pm. ~~or actually... i might've been kinda overdue by like 1 or 2 mins OTL oh shiiiiit.~~
but still couldnt managed to finish journal in time to hand up by then... tried to stay up to finish, but was zoning out already and coundt concentrate... even msgin sam, isaac and msning shu didnt help much OTL so went to bed @ ard 2+am. woke up nxt mornin to continue. eventually handed up @ abt 3+pm. ahahhaa. got an email from Jim askin where my journal was @ 12+pm OTL sigh...

----------------------------------------------

on tues stayed home and slacked...
frei was going shopping by herself @ bugis and she forgot to take money, so i gav her my savings DDDX all my savings all gone now OTL sigh... $50 abt... from wuhan oso... aw man.
ahaha. but i was kinda worried for her going out all alone like that to do solo shopping. really. they grow up so fast. -sniff- hahahaha.
@ night went on maple for a bit and helped out lx with kerning sq quests. macaroni, cy and xh were online for awhile too. it was cool to play maple in a grp aft a month+ again (:

----------------------------------------------

on wed sam invited us to go eat sakae sushi XDDD @ 1st she wanted to just ask macaroni, but then she knew he wouldnt agree even if she added like 1 more person. so in the end, 7 of us went (cy, xh, lx, mel, me, sam and mac). met @ novena mrt @ 2.50pm. went to sakae... homg. WE ATE UNTIL SO FULL OTL i felt like i was gonna burst. thank gdness we didnt waste any food. ahahaha. spent like 2 hrs there, then went walking ard... aft awhile went united sq and walked ard summore. then up to toys r us where we relived our childhood by playing with the toy hammers, swords and other stuff there XDD damn fun ~
i ended up failing to be a good stalker cos i kinda forgot to press the record button when everyone was poking and jabbing macaroni with the toy swords OTL aww man!! it wouldve been some awesome footage!! OTL sigh...

while playing with the halloween stuff in toys r us suddenly had this idea of celebrating halloween in class on the friday b4 halloween XDD wanna try dressing up to class and bringing candy ~ whooooo! hahahah. so cool! cant wait! will talk more when sch starts again...

-----------------------------------------------

MAJOR CATCHUP FROM WUHAN

2010-10-20T13:46:00.022+08:00

oh gosh... been back in singapore for a few days already, but still nid to catch up on the week in Wuhan when i didnt blog. hahahaha. been busy chionging IS report and journal that was due on mon ... ~~ahahaha. actually i wasnt really workin on it till the monday it was due, but lalallalala ~ ahahahhaha.~~

ok... so the last time i posted was after the trip to 庐山... GRREEEEAAATT OTL... that was like a freakin 2 wks ago OTL damn. alright. time to get crackin.
extremely long post comin up. u've been warned.

------------------------------------------------

riiiight. so i left off from the 8th of oct where i was sick and hurting and complaining... hmm... right...
so in the morning ling xuan and i were quite sick, so we didnt go out for breakfast or anything. went to go talk to christina outside her room for like almost hrs! hahahha. the grp of us just camped there and talked. it was really quite fun (: its cool talking with our lecturer like that (: and Jim joined in for awhile too. he oso gav me a pkt of some tea thingy that might make me feel a little better. but then lx looked more sick than me so i gav it to her instead. the instant strawberry milk tea i had that morning was kinda sweet D: maybe just a little too sweet for me in the morning.
most everyone went out for lunch except ling xuan and i cos we were too sick to go out. ahahhaa. the both of us got babied. someone brought back dumplings from the muslim store for us. by that time lx was sleeping, so she skipped lunch.
after that helped chang lin's grp with acting for their final DAV project. they were doing a movie trailer for a high school murder mystery IN JAP. hahaha. quite cool. a few takes of the same scene where shu, wee peng and i had to act shocked while pretending to look @ sam's dead body on the stairs. i now understand how tough actors hav it =w=
everyone else had to leave for IS lesson after that, but lx and i skipped. slept the whole time till marky came to wake me. everyone came back a few mins later.
(later i found out the IS lesson was abt china's political system and some social etiquette).
marky, shu and chang lin were actually requested by the boss of the maid cafe to photograph the maids in the cafe for them so that evening we followed them to the maid cafe.
after waiting EXTREMELY LONG. finally finished and had steamboat dinner with Christina. definitely would've enjoyed it a lot more if i wasnt sick DD8
did more filming after getting back from steamboat. a scene where shu and i had to act like we just heard a scream. laughed a lot. then LATER @ night filmed isaac being 'killed' by the mop. ahahahhaha. HE WAS KILLED BY A FRIGGIN MOP. chang lin had the honors XD he had to work really hard to act out his parts (: besides the filming crew that was there, the rest of us were camping in isaac and marky's room as spectators.
chang swung the mop so many times in the same way that isaac's bed ended up getting wet so he used the lamp to dry it off. it was kinda funny when saac pretended to get whacked by the 'murder weapon' and tumbled onto the floor out of screen, he slammed into mark's bed and it moved like and inch everytime he hit it =w=

hahaha.
恐ろし事件だ, 信組輪や身の中か. Osoroshi Jikenda, Shinso wa yami no nakaka.
i think it was sorta translated: This horrible act we have committed, no one must know. (or something like that.)
this whole jap line has totally become like a meme for us ~ ahahhahaha.
this was clam's line in the video, and he practiced it like mad. and now its permanently stuck in his head. ahahahhaa.
while he was practicing it in the dorms hallway, gerald came by and looked @ his lines then said it in his 'SAMURAI VOICE'. everyone burst out laughing! ahhahahahaa. then clam started doing it in different voices along with gerald. so now... its like someone will randomly say this line and everyone will burst out laughing ~ ehehehhehee. damn fun.

--------------------------------------------------

everyone slept in on the 9th of oct (day 29 of trip).
cos filming lasted from fri night to early sat morning. everyone was kinda tired.
not much happened that day. the whole day was maily slacking and acting for the other grp. the whole of my DAV final prjt grp was asked to be actors for chang lin's grp's prjt, so yeah... well... filming's always fun tho (: @ least ALMOST always (:
was still kinda recovering from being sick.
OH. but if i rmr correctly i wasnt feeling that bad anymore... only cough and slight cold left.

--------------------------------------------------

on 10th oct (day 30 of trip) sun.
woke up earlier to do laundry (i think). isaac ALWAYS wakes up early (=w=) so he helped. then we went for bf while everyone else was still sleeping. ahahaha. and i killed my throat eating fried dumplings... sigh. wateva man.
we split up into different grps after lunch. i went with chang, clam, marky, shizuka and shu shopping. i'm not sure wad the rest of the ppl did. went to the SUPER BIG shopping centre YET AGAIN (guang gu). shu and chang lin went to the manga and anime street while clam, marky, shizuka and i went hunting for soft toys shops cos marky nided to get toys to bring home for ppl. met up @ 2pm, then walked ard summore, then went to the usual place where we print badges to print more stuff. ahahaha. by the time we reached there it was like late aftnoon. then we nided to get A LOT of stuff printed, so we only left there @ like 8pm. it was raining then.

I was reminded of how much i dont pay attention to my surroundings and therefor hav to rely on my friends to GET to the destination. I'm blindly following. seriously NOT GOOD ):

did some report work for DAV, then sam came running to tell me she suddenly had an idea to add in for our project.
since its originally a video of our experiences in Wuhan according to saac, decided to make it in the form of a dream for him. so we nided to film him ASLEEP. sneaked into marky's room to do last minute filming. couldnt stop laughing cos marky was being a freakin bodo. lx was audio tech, sam was cam op, i was acting director (clam was most prob sleeping already). then when shu came in, she ended up being cam op and sam was an actor.
AND THEN. DUNDUNDUN. "you know i can hear u guys right?"
...
OTL AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA. we laughed till our stomachs ached so bad. isaac was half awake all along OTL sigh. wateva man. managed to film, then we all went to go sleep.

the nxt day (11th oct) was lx's bday XDDD so many many ppl wished her happy birthday after 12midnight 8DDD

--------------------------------------------------

MONDAY. IT WAS THE DUE DATE FOR OUR DAV FINAL PROJECTS O___O
and also the day we went to 黄鹤楼.

in the morning woke up relatively early to do extremely last minute filming and to rush DAV final project. had a lot of fun with the grp. blahblahblah.
went lunch, met up downstairs to board the bus to go to 黄鹤楼. sat with saac cos he wanted to share earphones. then fell asleep.
~~wtf lah. jim got damn disgusting photos of my sleeping. aw shit =w= OTL~~
黄鹤楼 (huang he lou) was quite cool ~ took quite a few photos and some ppl got ice-cream. saw the BIG bell opposite the tower, then went up the tower. SO HIGH. got lost from the grp for awhile tho, but then didnt care much. climbed a little higher up the tower with saac (cos he was nice nuff to accompany). wanted to go all the way to the top, but thought that might've takent too long ): the wind was AWESOME. the view was not bad. didnt spend very long up there tho D8
otw out of the 黄鹤楼 area oso saw a blood sucking insect. marky told us.

went back to dorms. took away dinner. then rushed back to FINISH DAV PROJECT. took quite quite long. but thank gdness managed to fin in time. but then christina only passed ard her ext hd and went to sleep so i guess the due date time (11.59pm) didnt matter tt much :/ we all worked really hard on it.
(btw. much later on, i found out my grp's final project got an overall B (: B's not bad~).

celebrated lx's bday with a cake too. wee peng got it (shared cost)... ~~oh. btw. the scandal was still kinda going on. -ahem- if ya noe wad i'm talking abt. i had mentioned this is a past post b4.~~ the cake was good (: and lx and i managed to smear some cream on each other. and lx got her face smashed into wad was left of the cake by wee peng. ahahahhaa!
and if i'm not wrong, it was the day we found out how comfy the closet lined with a comforter was. ahahaha. SERIOUS. I'M NOT JOKIN. the closet really WAS extremely COMFY. everyone took turns climbing in to try (:

most of us just stayed up most of the night. bunked in other ppl's rooms and such. sam, shu and i bunked in saac and marky's room (sam and i. shizuka, lx, xh, mel was in mel and xh's room. marky was in my bed while chang was back on her own bed. ahahahaha.

--------------------------------------------------

woke up the nxt morning with a SUPER stiff shoulder thx to sleeping on my side and not moving OTL tuesday was the day we were given to prepare for our upcoming post-trip IS presentations the nxt day. hardly got much sleep. maybe abt 3+ hrs. we all wanted to enjoy the freedom of finally finishing our DAV final assignment b4 worrying abt IS the nxt day. ahahahah.

ok. i HAVE TO MENTION THIS. THIS WAS QUITE EPIC.
in the morning, when we were all still slackin in isaac and marky's room...
shu suddenly asked: "Do you want to watch Gintama?"
THEN THE ROOM CURTAIN BAR DROPPED. seriously. one side just broke off while the other side's still attached and all the clothes that marky and saac had hanging up there came sliding down with the bar O_____O
should be cos the both of them hung too much stuff on the curtain bar (clothes on hangars). but for the thing to break immediately AFTER shu finished saying GINTAMA is TOTALLY AWESOME. ahahahhaa. shows the EPICNESS OF GINTAMA. hehehehe. (those hu noe wad gintama is abt will totally get this ~). ROFLMAO.

in the afternoon we walked to the animation school on campus. had a short look ard. were showed some of the students work ans such their 2D drawings are awesome! (or @ least the one we were shown)(lots of warcraft ref). but then i dont think theur 3D animations are that great. its good effort, but i think too much was put into certain areas (like the hair that had a life of its own =w=) whil other areas are a little neglected :/ then was brought to a room for a short lecture. ahahahah. fell asleep as usual, then totally forgot wad the hell the person was talking abt. not that i was listening much in the 1st place OTL

by the time we got back to dorms, it was evening and most nided to start on IS ppt presentation prep (cos we're all procrastinators... except for clam. ahaha.) brought food back and stayed up doing the slides + figuring out wad to say for presentation the nxt day. everyone had super brain block OTL PLAYED A LOT that night. HARDLY GOT MUCH WORK DONE for me. but in the end, managed to finish up and still got an hr of sleep tho. camped in sam and lx's room with sam and saac. marky came to play for awhile. saac ended up falling asleep a few times b4 retiring to the closet. i dont rmr where sam and i and lx slept o___O

---------------------------------------------------

JUDGEMENT DAY FOR IS.
had 2nd last IS lesson in the morning. i think it was on china economics? but i wasnt listening and fell asleep. duh. took away food for lunch. ran back to dorms to do last minute edits on i slides. ahahhaa. the presentations were @ 2pm. helped tchr take a few photos with her and the nice cleaning lady on the 9th floor b4 heading to class.

was kinda nervous. i think i was smack in the middle. ahahaha. there were 21 of us i think. and i was the 11th to go. ahahhhahahaa.
jim took out his IPAD to GRADE our presentations! WHOAAAAA. aahhahaha. i'm glad i actually didnt fall asleep thruout the near 4 hrs we were there in the classroom. it was 21 ppl of 5-10mins presentations. so we only finished @ like 5+ near 6pm O___O quite long really tho some presentations were LOONG, and some were SHORT. it was cool to see everyone's presentations. and i was happy with mine (: thought it went relatively well.
ahahahaha. 3/4 way thru the presentations, jim started getting bored so he started swinging the sleeves of his jacket like some little kid XDD only clam and i saw it cos we were sitting near the back of the class and were lookin his way XDDD PFFFFTTT. both of us had to try so hard not to laugh OTL ehehehehehhhahahahaa ppffffft OTL
everyone amused themselves in different ways while waiting for everyone to fin presenting... THEN IT WAS OVER. HELL YEAH.
stayed a few mins to watch everyone's final DAV project assignment video. gerald's grp was good!! hahahaha.

WE WERE FREEEEEEEE ~~~
after that a few of the usual gang of us went to some sports shopping mall nearby while sam, isaac, shizuka and i stayed in dorms and had dinner while watching gintama eps. ahahahahhaa. whoooo! \o/ managed to pack a bit of my stuff into luggage too. but then i conked out really quick that night OTL like abt 9+pm i fell asleep already. ahahaha. so shizuka, saac and sam left while i got ready for bed. knocked out again b4 chang lin and the rest came back from their shopping trip to the sports mall place. i think it was cos i slept real little the nights b4 when assignments were due :/ body making up.

---------------------------------------------------

Thurs 14th Oct (2nd last day of trip)(day 34)

woke up early to go for KFC breakfast with chang lin, isaac, clam, shizuka and shu. the rest ended up being to lazy to wake up to go. ahahaha. wanted to try cos christina said it was good. shu's bed hair was quite epic that morning... isaac's bed hair is ALWAYS epic. sorta. ahaha.
came back for 9am IS lesson on china's educational system. A LOT of ppl didnt really listen to this IS lesson. cos our presentation was over already. and our main topic didnt exactly hav anything to do with education in china. i think isaac might've listened cos his topic was SORTA related. i fell asleep. duh.
after the lesson was the closing ceremony @ 11am. the principal of the uni we were under the care of gav a speech and the FMS tchr plus and FMS student too. certs were handed out to all the students hu had come for this immersion trip to Wuhan. It was cool. after the ceremony we took photos... THEN WE WERE FREE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. YAY.

had lunch tgt with the usual gang, then split up cos 1 grp was going shopping while the other was going to dye and cut hair. I was in the latter grp. dye-ing and cutting took up most of the rest of the day. i was glad i got a nice lady hairdresser (: she was really quite patient with me :D i drastically changed my hairstyle and colour!! 8DDDD whoooo. ahahhaa. the hairdresser also gav me a little teddy i named Kuma-chan (shu's suggestion) cos she saw me playing with it quite a bit and ended up letting me hav it ~ heeeheeee.
sam had already dyed her hair, so she cut it. lx re-dyed it cos it was bad the 1st time. isaac highlighted supposedly pink, but in the end it wasnt really pink :/ and the highlights didnt turn out that great. but it was still cool.
i think now my hair colour's light-ish brown and i have bangs XDD ~~and i seriously look like a guy =w=~~ but i still kinda like my new hairstyle XDD heeeheee. takes awhile for other ppl to get used to it tho. hahaha. i GUESS i'm glad i cant see myself :p

after hair stuff, isaac and i were pretty much broke. so we had to borrow from lx and sam. ahahahaha OTL went back to dorms to slack for abit before heading out to meet peeps for dinner.
i was hanging out in sam and lx's room cos i left my room key in the room when i left OTL chang lin had to open the door with HER card, but too bad she wasnt there D8 saac was back in his own room gaming. (=w= WOW as usual.)

cant rmr which day it was, but a few days ago sam and lx wanted to talk to me abt a certain tall person hu had come on the trip with us. okok. it was about isaac and i. like how i said b4 abt the 'scandal' b/n marky and wee peng? uhhuh. ahaha. isaac and i were quite close actually... hmmm... this is kinda hard to put into words :/ argh! so hard OTL shu said quite awhile ago that her classmates were trying to figure out if saac and i were kinda 'together' cos we were so close. then i said 'naahhh. he's just my best guy friend'. was kinda already thinking abt it by then :/ if ya could be bothered to read my posts, u should hav guessed a little when i touched extremely briefly on it during the ferry post. ~~ahahahahaha. TRY TO FIND THE PART SUCKERS. jkjk XDDD~~ so then sam was saying how a few of them (dont underestimate women's intuition and observance skills =w=) noticed that isaac kinda looks @ me differently :/ then i told them both that i kinda liked him. aahahaha. and then they were like 'aiya. good lah! at least u 2 sorta feel the same.' and i was like =w=. turned out to be a quick not so awkward convo :/ wierd.
~~oh gosh. this is so wierd to be posting here. argh. but still its my personal, not so private, record.~~
OK. RIGHT. BACK TO TOPIC. yeah, i was hanging out in sam and lx's room. they were hogging my itouch and playing tap studio =w= sigh. ~~everyone either plays that or angry birds -facepalm-~~
after awhile decided to go kachow saac for awhile.... after watching him play for awhile i couldnt really take it anymore OTL so uh... i... eh... said that i kinda like him... ie... i um... confessed... OTL (but i dont like using that word :/ cos its um... embarassing.)... it was really major awkward OTL then... then he said "i kinda like u too"... ehehehehe... um... then i gav him a hug and went back to sam and lx's room. OMG... i thought i could die of embarrassment OTL sigh... now i understand wad ppl mean when they say that OTL...
i told sam and lx wad i did and then sam said i shouldnt tell that to a guy when he's gaming :/ aahahhahaa. i had to agree (: really bad timing. sigh...

met the shopping grp again for our last dinner in Wuhan. they went to the BIG shopping centre again (guang gu). we ate @ Teddy's Kitchen. The rushed back to Wen Jie Lu (i dunno how to write in chinese =w=), the area of shops near our dorms to take neoprints <3 fooled ard and laughed a lot for very long while waiting for the shopkeeper to finish printing and cutting the photos. got isaac to giv us piggy back rides XDD haha. then in the middle of waiting, the 1M02 gang came by and wanted to take neoprints too. whoa. the shopkeeper was totally workin overtime that night .__. jim came by too. we talked to him for awhile and he joined 1M02 for 1 of their photos. ahahaha.

had to go back to dorms aft that to do some SERIOUS PACKING cos we were already leaving the nxt day o___O
none of us really slept much... too busy running from room to room, chatting, packing and trying to stuff things into out luggage. ahahahaa. even christina had less sleep! and she said she most of the time gets to bed @ like 9+pm. hahaha. she only left mel and xh's room @ like 2am abt. tt's cool.
i leant chang lin and sam my xtra purple bag i brought (i love u mum for telling me to bring it) cos they nided more baggage space. then put some of my stuff with shu in her black bag that she borrowed from someone else. haha.
in the end, isaac, sam and i bunked on my bed for the night. saac fell asleep MUCH earlier so he got more sleep than sam and i hu got abt 3hrs.
considering saac's size, sam and i were surprised we could all actually squish relatively comfortably on the bed o____O hahaha.

--------------------------------------------

Fri 15th oct (day we were leaving)

chang lin (aka mum) woke us up early to finish last minute stuffing and packing. then we went to get breakfast. bought banana bread back to the dorms (banana bread is awesome!). said bye to the nice cleaning auntie (that i asked my assignment interview from on the 9th floor. said bye to our rooms too

Said bye to the cleaning auntie on the 9th floor and our rooms. Gave back room card keys. Boarded the bus for our 1 hour+ bus ride to the airport. Took really long to check-in and flight was a little delayed. Phew. I thought my luggage was going to be over the 30kg weight limit, but it wasn't over. Hahaha. Shizuka’s was though, so had to shift around some books and pass some to Isaac because his luggage was lighter and could afford some extra weight.

Flight to GuangZhou airport wasn't eventful. Slept, and then watched some Gintama. When we went to GuangZhou airport, had 真功夫 for lunch. But wasn't that hungry so shared food with sam. Went to the boarding gate… AND THEN… found out flight was going to be delayed for 3 HOURS. So everyone started contacting parents and such to tell them about the delay. Instead of boarding at 5+pm about, ended up boarding at 8.15pm. I think. While waiting at the boarding gate area, a few of us went exploring and window-shopping. Also managed to get back some food for our families. We were given free food again! Yay! Hahah. Ate and watched some Gintama again while waiting. At least there wasn't any delay when we were already IN the airplane unlike last time.

As usual, slept through most of the 4hour flight to Singapore too. We only reached at near 1am in the morning. It felt weird arriving back in Singapore. When we touched down, we were BACK IN SINGAPORE AFTER A MONTH AND A FEW DAYS. And we were going back to our normal everyday lives IN SINGAPORE. It was a little hard for my brain to register :/ and then I felt kind of happy yet sad at the same time. Hmm…

Took awhile to get out of the plane and to the luggage pickup area. Then everyone started to go out to meet their families and parents and everyone. It was all a blur… then suddenly everyone had already left to go home and the area was empty! Hahahaha. Kind of hard to explain.

Isaac and marky got stuck inside because their bags needed to be checked. Hahahaha. Wanted to wait until they came out to say bye, but then I felt bad making my dad wait, so headed home. I think by then my brain still hadn’t registered that I’M BACK IN SINGAPORE. I DON'T HAVE MY CLASSMATES AS NEIGHBOURS ANYMORE. I’M GOING HOME TO MY OWN BED TO SLEEP. TIME TO FACE THE WORLD AS PER USUAL. Uhhuh. It was strange.

chang lin: "mmm... xin hui likes it cold and hard..."

everyone: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

back from 庐山

2010-10-08T09:51:00.005+08:00

We're now back from our 3 day 2 night (tues-thur)(day 25-27 of trip) to 庐山. heehee.
I'm so proud of myself for remembering how to write 庐山 XDDD this is an improvement in my chinese (: sort of.

basically most of the time we spent there was climbing up and down steps, steps, and more steps to see waterfalls and awesome mountainous/sky views + a few other stuff.
we also went to maozedong's (the dead communist leader) villa and saw his bedroom, toilet etc.
~~no dad. we didnt go to the toilet there =w=~~
managed to do lots of filming for our DAV assignment (: so that was pretty productive sightseeing overall.

i've been taking so many photos and all its been hard uploading and posting everything. aw man.
took lots of scenic photos and insects too... ~~wait... INSECTS?!?!~~ yeah well. we saw many many many insects up in the mountain...

MMA ppl got assigned to a super cramped bus for the way there. got major cramps cos couldnt move around.

the hotel there was not too bad. the even numbered rooms were bigger than the odd numbered ones so most of us crashed the even rooms (:
hot water was only available within a specific time frame in the evening after dinner. food in the hotel wasnt too bad either.
managed to watch some Axis Powers Hetalia, One Piece movie and finish a little of my grp's DAV final project report. didnt waste time (:
had to wear a jacket and hide under covers to try and protect myself from the cold OTL

the ride there was about 4+hrs so mostly slept in the bus as usual.especially on the way back. slept the WHOLE way. hahahaha. wheee. ~~i didnt even bother getting out of the bus to go toilet! hahaha. that shows hw little water i drank =w= not good.~~

and cos i didnt drink enough water, now i'm sick oTL i think its cos of lack of water, but dunno. got a cough and running nose. no fever. at least not YET DDD8 but still feel REALLY bad. ugh...i think i might have to miss IS class today...
cos of the climbing of steps and walking yesterday, now my calves hurt bad too. hahaha. having trouble walking properly ): i think everyone's legs hurt.
except the few that use exercise regularly and use their legs a lot. like Clement and his soccer.

up there it seriously WAS quite cold!! like 7-10 degrees =w= coldcoldcold. i'm happy we all survived. and now when we're off the mountain the temperature here doesnt seem THAT bad... unless ur sick that is... like me DDDX dammit.

gotta do work and act for chang lin's group's video assignment later too. damn. i hope i get better soon. really.

_________________________________________________________________________

chang lin and shu: "NO! YOU SHOULDNT READ THAT!"

isaac: "why?"

me: -hides away shu's BL doujin-

its china's national day hols

2010-10-03T16:59:00.012+08:00

its now china's national day hols (the golden wk)... started on fri (if i rmr correctly)...
now... let's recap wad happened from wed onwards...

on wed it was the day b4 wad everyone thot was the due date for the 2 video assignments, so we were all fretting and chionging (as i had already said in my last post).
THEN. DUN DUN DUN. we were told assignments due date now changed to fri cos the nxt day we hav the whole day of stuff so too busy to edit and fin assignments =w= ahahha. that took a load off our shoulders, but still had to finish as much as possible asap.
asked the cleaning lady that i frequently see on lvl 9 for an interview for my SoL assignment. yay.
took the bus with shizu, sam and saac for filming for S&S and did some other stuff. thank u guys for coming along (:
went back to dorms cos cleaner said she was free in afternoon... but then she stood me up OTL sadded!! she wasnt @ lvl 9 @ 2pm like she said she'd be DDD8
gav up waiting in the late aftnoon and went with sam to visit ah pin (the man managing the bubble tea shop we ALWAYS frequent EVERYDAY. we made friends with him :D). sam video-ed him making 巧克力奶茶 for her SoL vid. then lx went to film the lady managing the kpop merch shop she ALWAYS frequents. fooled ard and got the video... got some prez for ppl there too... then dinner @ spaggetti shop. saac ended up joining us and getting his interview of the owner. then i cant rmr wad happened, but somehow we ended up following marky to the ferret shop nearby for him to get his interview of the shopkeeper. while he was preparing with shu and chang lin, the rest of us played with the cuuute ferrets XDD then while he was havin the interview we had to go out of the shop ): ah well. haha.
that was pretty much the whole day i guess.

------------------------------------------------

10, 2 and 4. That's how we rmred the stuff that was going to happen that day ~ ahahaha. 10am was IS lesson, 2pm another IS lesson and 4pm briefing for the 庐山 trip we were going to go for from the 5th-7th oct (tues-thurs).
that day wasnt a really good day :/ okok. @ least in the morning it wasnt. everyone was emo and in really low spirits :/ somehow i just woke up feeling horrible and extremely pissy. (this happens extremely rarely). it was like someone was squeezing the juice out of my brain... and that juice was threathening to come out as tears D: ~~okok. i noe its a horrible analogy, but ah wateva.~~

10am IS lesson was quite fun (: it was on paper-cutting, so it was something i could use for my IS presentation and report. cos my main point of focus for IS in wuhan is based on Chinese Art. so managed to sorta keep awake for that lesson to absorb some info to use for IS. ahahaha. we were also given scissors and paper to do some window flowers (its the kind of paper cutting we were learning abt. hands-on experience ~ i wasnt very good tho.
2pm IS lesson was on China's history. It was cool that chang and another FMS student went up to the microphone in front and some of Singapore's history too befroe the lessons sorta started. i fell asleep... it was history...
aft 2pm IS lesson, there was awhile before the briefing started so i took a nap. translated a bit for shizuka. @ least i SORTA understood nuff to translate. aahaha.
went nearby for dinner, then went back to dorms cos chang, shu, shizuka and i had to rush out our 2 video assignments cos we were planning to go out the nxt day to a cosplay convention and didnt hav time to finish.

-------------------------------------------

1st oct (day 21 of trip)(friday)

I REALLY ENJOYED 1ST OCT A LOT!!!!

whoooooo \o/ IT WAS CHILDREN'S DAY!!! yayyayyayyay ~
we got back our results for our 1st term in poly. whooo. heehee. i'm kinda proud of my results i guess. haha. most of the time i dont bother thinking abt how much i get or how i did. but i DID get kinda more than i normally expect from myself (: heehee.

in the morn woke up early to mop the room and met the auntie hu i was supposed to interview the night b4. so managed to get my interview done that morning ~ yay. thank gdness OTL if not i wouldve been quite dead.

and also...
chang lin, shizuka, shu, jim (lecturer) and i went to a cosplay convention and did some major otaku shopping (actually jim just came along to supervise us i guess.).
was @ the convention from the morning to early afternoon till abt like 2pm. got an experience in conventios in china. and i guess i really still prefer s'pore conventions. it was really quite hot in the convention hall... the cosplays werent actually that good or many either (it only started getting slightly better later in the day. unfortunately we didnt stay long enuf to observe more :/). the merchandise variety was quite good tho. and the prices were good. but i didnt get much there tho. its all really small stuff mostly...
after leaving the convention, we went to a BIG BIG shopping centre place. IT WAS REALLY BIG. called Guang Gu (dont rmr it in chinese OTL). and there was even a whole street of manga and anime merch shops!! whoooo \o/ the 4 of us were totally mad!! hahahah! SHOP-HOPPING!!! after starting to fangirl and running into one, awhile later we come out, walk 3 steps, then go into another. ahahaha. we got quite a few stuff there XDD hahahaha. was fangirling like crazy \o/ i felt bad that Jim had to come along with us. thx jim :D
oso managed to get something for meag and frei there.
ate at some Singaporean restaurant for dinner. Food wasnt that good :/ but it was ok... had cheeeckeeen rice. ahhaha. the ice-kachang that chang ordered had no taste whatsoever =w= and she was totally complaining. hahahaha.
aft that, it was getting late so headed back to dorms to complete the 2 DAV assignments that were due. and to sort out our haul of merch for the day. haaha. had to rush a bit to hand up stuff, but in the end, somehow managed to make it.

------------------------------------------------

sunday 2nd oct (day 22 of trip)

sam's friend

Sam’s friend brought us out today. We went many many places and experienced what it was like to dine in China. It was a learning experience! Sam’s friend was seriously tall! And quite friendly. He brought us to near 黄鹤楼 (around the area). And we didn't get lost \o/

My group did a lot of filming for out DAV final group project when we went out today. Isaac was the cameraman while our great director clement told him what to shoot. The both of them did a good job in filming that day.

We had a lot of fun walking around. Then for lunch we ate in a restaurant and sam’s friend taught us about dining manners, like how we were supposed to cheers and drink 3 times throughout the course of the meal. It was cool.

Stayed out late shopping and such. Sam’s friend left in the evening about because he needed to be somewhere else. So we found our own way back to the dorms.

reality sets in

2010-09-29T09:51:00.002+08:00

sadness. we're back from the ferry trip. AND... assignments are due... oh fuck. ~~(please excuse my language).~~

------------------------------------------

on mon @ 11.59pm our personal profile vids were due, so the whole of monday was all chionging to finish assignment. ahahaha. i dont really get stressed very often UNLESS i'm chionging for assignments... and its only when i'm DOING it that my brain's dead to everything else... OTL
it was so bad that when i asked "how do i zoom in to the timeline area", when chang lin said "the hyphen key", i asked "wad's a hyphen?" ... omg... OTL
felt like spongebob in the ep where he had to learn fine dining =w= if ya understd wad i mean.

in the morning originally wanted to go supermarket then come back to chiong assignments, but that plan was cute short when saac was called and told that there was lesson in the morning so we can learn how to export our finished project =w= went back for lesson. then returned to dorms to chiong. finished it by 11.45pm. ~~HENG AH.~~ but tchr's harddrive was with someone else and she was gonna sleep so she said pass her the harddrive tmr.

originally had some audio problems, but then it was fixed when i went to see her on tues to pass her the ext hd.

actually oso had IS lesson in the afternoon on mon. it was a relatively interesting lesson :) on calligraphy. the lecturer was an old man and he was quite animated in teaching. i only fell asleep near the end of the lecture. we were given some paper, brushes and the black ink thing to try out XDD heehee. tt was fun ~ seriously fun ~

---------------------------------------

we're given no lessons till thur (tmr) cos our 2 assignments (Sights and Sounds, Slice of Life) are due tmr. tried to go out to video yesterday to video for assignments, but then it was raining the whole day so hard to take anything DDD8 and it was quite disgusting to walk in mud and out slippers/shoes got super disgusting and dirty :/
okok, we seriously kinda wasted the whole day =w= went lunch, then split up into different grps to film and do wateva crap.
went with chang lin, shu, isaac and marky to the IT mall and walked ard. then went wanted to video again, but then couldnt video inside the mall DD8
so then went to play arcade =w= i dont really play arcade, so just watched marky, saac, chang lin and shu play.

had kfc for dinner. then shu, chang lin and i went to the manga and anime merchandise shop nearby while marky and saac went back to dorms.
dug thru badges and sifted thru the shop for like 2hrs =w= then the 3 of us had to go print passport photos (for marky, saac and sam). managed to top up my phone sim card too. yay ~ now i hav money to msg my family ~ whooo.
heehee. the ppl @ the photo printing shop were laughing @ mainly saac and marky's photos when they were photoshoping it b4 printing. hahaha. that was super funny XDDDD

went back to dorms quite late so it was DARK. ard 9.50pm we reached back.

----------------------------------------

its now wed morning. and yes. i'm now fretting on wad to film for both my assignments OTL FUCK. aw shitshitshit.
and i still havent done my journals to hand up to Jim OTL fishfishfish.
ok. gotta leave damn soon to go chiong filming.

on the ferry

2010-09-28T11:30:00.011+08:00

most of these were actually originally written down in my notebk on the way back to the dorms on sun afternoon. but with a few edited parts...
so if u've already read my notebk, it'd be cool if u skimmed thru this again (:

this all happened from fri to sun last wk. we went on a 2 night trip on a ferry (: but the bus rides to the ferry terminal place and back to the dorms were damn long and took up most of fri and sun. sat was when we went for tours of places.

long post ahead.

-----------------------------------------

FRIDAY

from thur to fri only slept like an hour or less from 5+am to 6am. sam and i decided to stay up, but in the end fell asleep for the last hr abt b4 we hadta get up. the both of us chatted to victor online via skype audio 8DD ~~i was so scared of waking bya up OTL~~ havent seen him online in the afternoon except for one day on our 1st wk in china. it was fun skyping with them both XDD

was supposed to meet downstairs @ 7.30am, but then wanted to help saax with his 'Sights & Sounds' (S&S) assignment on student, but in the end that was quite an epic fail cos the students were on hol till like 2 wks later... aw damn. hahahaha.

-patpat- i pity saac.
BUT. its not like i'm actually relatively done with my filming yet either, so... -AHEM- ...

ONE WORD pretty much summed up us for most of fri...
PIGS/PIGGIES.
~~okok, so that was 2... but same meaning 8D~~

the bus rides to the ferry place were damn frigging long OTL so.. all of us ended up sleeping in the bus, snacking, sleeping, lunch, sleep, daydream, snack, sleep, dinner, sleep. it was a vicious VICIOUS cycle OTL
marky felt sick and vomited during the earlier pt of the bus ride, but i was sleeping thru the incident =w= -slaps self- i'm just happy he felt better after that and even managed to have some lunch.

otw to the ferry place stopped @ some historical place (a wall) and a museum based on wd we learnt during IS lessons ~~(which i was sleeping thru... so uhh... i didnt listen...)~~. saw a corpse in the museum, it was a little unnerving, but ASOLUTELY COOL. the insides and brain were all dug out and displayed nxt to the skeletal shell with skin all intact (except for the stitch lined in e stomach and maybe the head where the brain was taken out from). we looked @ it from above cos the corpse was displayed on a platform beneath.

lunch was not bad @ all :). but dinner i cant say the same :/

after boarding the ferry and figuring out which rooms belonged to who, went exploring round the boat. wasnt that big... but i'm not complainging. the beds are far better than the ones we hav in the dorms. seriously. =w=.
by that time the ferry had already started moving so the wind was AWESOME.
went up on deck and camped there with mainly isaac and shu and everyone else hu randomly came up to fool ard, then go back down, then come up again. ahahaha. it was super great fun (:
even tho it was night, i still loved it up on deck. the lights were so pretty... definitely my fav place on that ferry <3

went thru a dam crossing (UBER COOLIO). we started off in wad looked like a big canal then crossed into an area that actually looked like a river. couldnt feel the ferry rising with the water tho. hahaha.

retired to rooms after that cos there wasnt much else to look @ (too dark). crashed the guys' (saac and marky) room to play dai di for awhile, then crashed sam and lx's room to help sam with her filming for personal vid but then we had some lighting problem so couldnt film that night.

went to bed @ abt 11+pm. wanted to wake up early the nxt day to catch the sunrise on deck XD

--------------------------------------

\o/ I AM GLAD I WOKE UP EARLY TO GO UP ON DECK.
THE VIEW WAS BEAUTIFUL. ~~even tho it was only cliff-sides and such.~~
but it really was kinda a dissapointment when i found out it was too misty and there were cliff/mountains on both sides so couldnt see the sun DDDX sadded...
ah well. still watched the sky brighten.

woke @ 5.30am, then went up @ 6.15am after dawdling abt. went up alone cos everyone else was still sleeping and sam was too tried to come up with me DD8

christina (tcher) came to join @ abt 6.40am so sat with her and chatted a bit. stayed up there for almost 2 hrs enjoying the wind and scenery. tho couldnt see much, still loved it a lot :)) took lots of photos too ~

bya and saac came to call the both of us down for bf. it wasnt good except for the meatbun which ran our damn friggin fast. stuffed down some food anywy... food is food.

boarded a smaller ferry (no rooms, only seats) and stayed on deck for the whole ride. played with hats and blah. then got into small wooden boats and got a rowed tour of the gorge by the locals. had to wear lifejkts. the experience was super cool and fun XDD \o/
the water was friggin clear! christina even leaned over the edge of the boat and ~~stole~~ picked some rocks from the damn shallow bed 8D she was the ONLY one too do that! now THAT'S wad i call AWESOME. hahahaha (:
ICY COLD water. i was sitting in the middle b/n marky and sam so didnt get to touch the water directly DD8 good side is i didnt get splashed @ all. heehee. sam was nice and dipped her hand into the water and passed me some 8D haha. HOMG. COLD.

the tour guide oso told us that if a 'foreigner' (someone not from that place locally) wanted to marry one of the local women, he would hav to work the job of rowing and pulling the boats for @ least 3 yrs O___O whoa...

after being rowed and pulled in the boat by the locals, went back to the small ferry for the trip back to the bigger ferry we were staying on.
the few of us from 1M04 + shizuka fooled ard and compared our chinese names on the ride back. hahah. it was abt 3+pm when we reached.

stayed on board the 'room ferry' till 7pm. would hav liked to hang out on deck as usual, but had to force self to do personal video filming with sam and lx. that was way fun 8D
i was sitting in straddle on the bed. then sam put the mic down to rest her arm... and then lx commented: "the mic's in an akward position.". sam and i looked to see it pointing towards me in the middle of my legs. AWKWARD MUCH. then i said: "imagine if i farted.". and all of us burst into LAUGHING FITS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
asked my classmates to help me with part of the video too (:
didnt hav much else to do so went up to the deck even tho it was raining. saac was bored so he came along and we shared earphones for awhile. saac's great company (:

DINNERTIME.
shovelled food into mouth asap cos we were gonna disembark to go to another historical place.
~~shit. i can never rmr the names of the historical places we visit OTL... and they're all freakin related to IS!! AAARGH.~~

walked past some street shops and blahh...
RUSSIAN DOLLS.
walked past more shops...
MORE RUSSIAN DOLLS. (gonna get for dad).
took a bus.

it was like 8pm, so quite dark. i liked the thrill of the experience in the dark ~
here came the hard part. had to climb DAMN a lot of steps up to the place. thighs BURNED.
sam saida maybe it was 150, but mentally it felt like 1500... quite true OTL
thank gdness we were told we could follow any guide with a red flag to get back to the same boat cos sam, lx and i kinda got lost OTL
waited for familiar faces @ the exit and bussed back to near the ferry place.
there was some incident concerning saac's torch and it breaking cos of shu.
i say guilt might be as bad, if not worse than being the accidental victim. glad the 2 of them made up. even tho saac said he was only 'acting' emo... ur a liar saac. i totally dont believe u were only ACTING. u WERE kinda sad and mad when ur torch broke.
i hate it when these stuff happens cos i cant do anything and it hurts. its like my heart's getting ripped up for my friends and family.

got a russian doll for daddy \o/ but its wrapped up in plastic so i hav no idea abt the quality. and concerning i got it for like S$2 =w=.
christina got a wooden pillow that looks like a coffin!?!? um... okaaaaay... heard its kinda cooling but i could never sleep on somthing that (wood)hard.
got some instant coffee/choco milk tea with jay chou's photo advertising on it. (cy likes jay chou).

went back to ferry and got tape to fix up saac's torch. chatted and laughed and snacked.
now saac's torch looks kinda crude but it still works.
shu confessed to me something i swear i will never forget (: thx for being honest shu.
thank gdness had warm water to bathe in. ~~didnt bother bathing the day b4 8D heeehee.~~
chang lin was already asleep by the time i went to bathe. wasted time away to let hair dry a bit, then bed time @ 11+pm again.
wanted to wake up early again on sun (the nxt day).

-------------------------------------------

woke @ 4.50am. whoa. havent woken up that early in effing long. got changed and blah, then sam came knocking and told me bya wanted to go up too. woke bya up. xh and mel too tired to go up. knocked on guys room 6 times b4 saac opened =w= took way long so only went up @ 5.30am OTL
AND WE WERE ALREADY DOCKING BY THEN. NUuUUuOOoooOOoo. sadded DDDX<
no nice view. hardly much wind. cool weather tho. sam, bya, saac and i still sat up on deck till the sky brightened and we could actually SEE each other! haha. jkjk.

bf @ 6.15am was same as yesterday. stuffed some food down. blegh. justeatjusteatjusteat.
packed up and left ferry @ 7am+. got into bus, but then after abt 2 hrs ride, ran out of gas i think. so we were stranded @ the side of the road for quite some time. quite a bit of trouble later managed to continue on the bus.
changed bus awhile later to the bigger one we originally were in otw to the ferry a few days ago. definitely felt more comfortable with moe leg room and space.
LUNCH WAS GOOD \o/
ate my fill then went for a walk cos extremely stuff and pretty out of it. nided some as-fresh-as-possible air.

on a side note... wth does Jim keep disturbing me?!?! i'm not fun to disturb okay?!!? there're so many more ppl ard so why does he keep calling me wierd names and poke/stare @ my stuff?!? OTL sigh.

after lunch i was wide awake. THANK U STRETCHING. decided to start on blogging draft in my note bk on the bus. (THIS IS IT).

karaoke videos hav been playing in the bus since aft lunch. saw a few JJ songs plus Jay Chou. i think sam seriously noes many mendou-pop songs. whenever she's awake and i look over, i see her mouthing the lyrics o__O

i'm really relieved my camera and itough batt had lasted for 3 days straight without bring charged. but both batts were dying otw back in the bus. not bad tho...

over these 2 wks here so far i've realised and found out quite a bit more of my friends here than i would hav had i not come on this trip :D that seriously feels way awesome.
and i MIGHT hav found one other interesting thing here that i shall not reveal.

ok, now i'm just rambling like some madman, but... DEAL WITH IT.

i was happy that i stayed awake on the bus ride doing this (: got to see some nice views of china from the window. u can never see these kinda roads crossing @ such a height cos singapore's too small DD:

thoroughlu enjoyed the past few days on the boat trip (: sigh. now its back to everyday lessons and upcoming assignment due dates.
wish me luck.

- ending here -

a few things happened

2010-09-24T02:10:00.012+08:00

havent posted since mon so now i kinda gotta catch up for like 3 days O____O
let's start from tues...

------------------------------------------------

tues had dav lesson in the morning... cant rmr much else that happened in the morn... BUT THEN. IN THE EVENING.
had mid-autumn festival celebration @ some very humid room thing that had disco balls. HAHA. took damn long to start, but it was fun helping to deco the place and prac our item and fool ard XDD
had the performances and blah. i thot our singing one went well ~ cant be bothered to talk much abt the performances... but then @ night after everything there was a disco session with the lights doing on and off. that killed our eyes and brain and the music killed our eyes. ahahha. we ran ard like headless chickens to the music and played like kids XDDD marky was really good @ moving ard (his timing was great!) to the lights, so it looked like stop motion animation. DAMN COOL LAH. saac was being an idiot as usual =w= hahaha. played like mad, tho the flashing lights made me a little dizzy. then lights came back and and music stopped. I was kind of grateful the dizziness finally stopped...
Cleared the rubbish and balloons and such. Ran around bursting balloons and blah. but then i managed to save salvage and save a blue balloon to bring back to the dorms cos it reminded me of kaito XDD ahahhaha. everyone was trying so hard to burst it tho D8

--------------------------------------------

It's Mid-Autumn Festival today so we got no lessons ~ yay ~ so went to town area and did some shopping together with almost everyone. guess ya could day it was relatively productive. got souvenirs for people. explored quite a few different shops and all. Mostly got to now a few 1M02 ppl better too. bonding over shopping?!?! NICE. aahahahha. marky's scandal's growing bigger (: he went shopping with wee peng by themselves. just the 2 of them! hahaha.

IT WAS SERIOUSLY FRIGGING COLD TODAY LAH. previously it was warm-ish but the temperature suddenly dropped today cos of some typhoon that happened nearby if i'm not wrong. it was raining quite bad too. sososocold. had to cling onto shu, isaac and shizuka cos their hands were warm XD hahaha.
had 真功夫 for lunch in the town area, but came back to dorm area for dinner.

---------------------------------------------

its day 13 of the trip (sept 23rd).
had DAV lesson in the mornin. then after lesson, bya, shizuka and christina (tchr) wasnted to go see the nearby bookstore, so decided to go out hunting for it. Ate at Teddy Kitchen for lunch (: hehehehe. it was so cuute! there was a GIGANTIC teddy at every table so there was one @ ours too ~ we played with it a lot and took quite a few photos. the food was good too (: @ least to me. went hunting for the bkshop after that. we totally walked right past it! hahhaa. walked to a shopping centre far down, then asked for directions before walking back and finally finding it. spent quite long there. the manga section was pathetic =w= there was only 1 series i sorta recognised. and only a few other kiddy looking and might've been kinda old series. christina, bya, shizuka and mel got drawing bks. headed back to dorms and spent the remainder of the day indoors. saac and i helped shizuka film her profile video and packing for the ferry trip that starts early tmr. cant wait!! XDD

will post when we're back from the ferry trip ~

prep for mid autumn fest performance

2010-09-20T23:13:00.004+08:00

yesterday night wasnt much. was a free day yesterday so went out to video some stuff for assignments. decided to focus on china bus transport for 'sights and sounds' assignment. after that returned to dorms and spent the whole time remaining indoors (it was already quite late anywy). skipped dinner cos wasnt hungry.
OH.OH.
STAYED UP LATE/EARLY (till abt near 4am) TO READ THE LATEST CHPS OF NOBLESSE THAT HAD COME OUT 8DDDD
THX AGAIN MICH TANZIL FOR INFORMING ME THAT NEW CHPS HAD COME OUT XDDDD \o\ ~ /o/ ~ \o/. heehee.

----------------------------------------

today was supposed to hav lesson this morn, but then lesson postponed to 4.30pm cos timing and location was screwed up. in the end, we got a classroom and sat down to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival Performance that we nid to do for the celebration tmr OTL aw man. discussed till like 12noon. then lunch @ usual muslim place (had dumplings. the dumplings are like S$1 for 25 small ones and they're DAMN NICE LAH. and filling too ~).
was supposed to meetup @ 2pm to practice and discuss more but then other class was late, so nvm. @ 1st decided to do a jap dance (eg. hare hare yukai/caramel dansen) in the performance, so researched and slacked till IS lesson time.
lesson was abt 45 mins and i slept thru literally the whole thing =w= it was something abt the chun culture if i'm not wrong OTL ~~um... i can read xin hui's notes. ehehehehehe.~~
discussed performance item more. tried out mass caramel dansen. then scrapped the idea. then replaced it with something else. so lalallaa. ah well D: had fun dancing it for awhile anywy.

right now wad we're doing for the item tmr is all acoustic singing and a few gonna dance. 1st - Where I Belong, 2nd - Gee, 3rd - Lemon Tree (chinese ver) . uhhuh. hope everything goes reatively well.

the discussion and all was quite cool (: cos we kinda got acquainted more with the 1M02 ppl tt are on the trip with us now (:
oso took tons of videos today cos did a lot of practice singing and other random crap. hehehe. will upload on fb. but its definitely gonna take damn long.

jim brought quite a few of us to a nice dumpling soup place awhile walk away. besides our class ppl + shizu... shu, xiao xuan and wee peng (sp?) from 1M02 oso came tgt. the chicken soup dumplings were good!! and jim treated everyone to dinner XDDDD
after dinner went to the supermarket nearby and fooled ard while getting stuff. laughed damn a lot and had tons of fun XDD

was in an audio chat on skype with class ppl just now (: and isaac and marky were running from room to room =w=. it was damn noisy lah! and it was already like 10+pm =w=. sigh. it was kinda funny tho. mel took off her pants and didnt close the door O____O AHAHHAHAA.

2010-09-19T14:01:00.004+08:00

havent posted in 2 and a half days... now in the middle of washing clothes so shall post...

thur night's dinner was cup noodles aft getting some stuff from super market. we crashed saac and marky's room and watched robin hood (cos knight and day couldnt load online DD:). it was all on how robin BECAME a fugitive not the ACTUAL legend that he made WHEN he was a fugitive. uhhuh... i didnt fall asleep, so it wasnt too bad.

fri morning had no lesson so stayed in and had bread + peanut butter and jelly and milo + hazelnut spread mixed inside ~ slacked and talked in mel and xh's room till abt 11.45pm then went for lunch and had to meet up with everyone @ hostel lobby 1pm.
bus ride to a historical museum (cant rmr name). during the ride some of the local students talked to us (: it was quite a long bus ride...
got to the museum and had quite a bit of fun looking ard and other stuff ~ took tons of photos... and then was even one skull exhibit where a few of our cameras' face recognition recognised the skulls on display O____o scary. the exhibits were all of china's historical remnants and stuff. like the previous species of beings living in china and the stuff they made eg.
(even lost chang lin once OTL was so worried... till we saw ICE CREAM. hahahah. kiddingkidding.
slept otw back in the bus ride...

went walking to some supermarket quite awhile away for no reason =w= cos jim asked if we wanted to go and we didnt noe wad to do, so OK. went OTL oh gosh... total waste of time except for getting a pkt of steak flavoured CHEETOS (wanted to try it cos Jim said it was the american equivalent of twistees. and i LIKE twistees ~).
had dinner @ some small cafe place thing. kept having to change seat cos there was a big grp of us and we kinda wanted to sit tgt and blah so was trying to find a gd seating arrangement... fried rice ~ not bad except for the onions OTL blegh. milk tea there wasnt sweet either :( didnt love it, but it was ok.

----------------------------------------------------

the nxt day was a free day (NO LESSON. HELL YEAH.) so chang lin planned to go to an area quite a bit away to look @ the COSPLAY shops XDDDD tagged along with shu, isaac and shizu too. there was some trouble with getting there (cos @ 1st could get a lift from xiao xuan -shu's roomie's- uncle, but in the end, still walked... cos @ 1st car could take 4 ppl. then isaac didnt nid to come along to be the 'GUY' of the travelling grp, but then i forgot to count shizu. then i gav up my place to shizu and crashed isaac and marky's room in the morning. then chang lin said we were walking 0___0. so uh. had to ask saac to come along as nvm. wateva.

got bf (DUMPLINGS AGAIN. BUT ITS NAISE.). then piled into xiao xuan's uncle's car. then after a few metres in the wrong direction (=w=) got off the car to walk OTL sigh. pointless.
HOMG. WE WALKED FOR 2 HRS. I HADNT SWEATED THAT MUCH IN DAMN LONG LAH. OTL X99999. got a tiny bloster while walking... and everyone was dead tired... UNTIL...
WE WENT INTO THE 1ST SHOP.
FANGIRL.

THEY WERE LIKE S$9 ABT AND IN SINGAPORE ITS SOLD FOR LIKE S$30+ near 40. HOMG. DAMN CHEAP LAH. wanted to get a one piece strong world art bk... but... ah well.
THERE'S WAS A FRIGGING HUGE BEE THING IN THE MAG RACKS. OTL. so we got out asap.

~~*still traumatised*~~

walked for very long more and got sidetracked @ more stores. blahblahblah. went into a shopping centre and went round and round and round and round. TIRED. sat down... swing legs... lalalala.
got a drink (chang lin ate) @ macs. then decided to head back to the 1st store (cos it was the best). it was already late aftnoon already...

then...

HOMG. WE SAW MORE STORES. -WENT IN-. i got more badges ~. FANGIRLS MORE.
(thank gdness our fangirling isnt so much scream-y type. hahahahaha.).
it was late (abt 6+pm) by the time we reached back to the 1st store area. I GOT THE ONE PIECE STRONG WORLD ARTBOOK 8DDDD XDDDD ~~
WHOOOOOOO \o/
and now i got badges as souvenirs for ppls. ~~and too many for myself OTL hahahaa.~~
~~shu says its a good idea to get a piece of cloth and pin them all on the cloth, then hang on wall in my room. ahahhahaha. too many.~~

took bus back... AND IT ONLY TOOK LIKE 15-20MINS OTL aw man. ahhahahha. nvm. the walk there was fun. the others were dyeing hair (sam, marky, lx. xh and mel not dyeing but with them.) so saac, cl, shizu, shu and i went back to room 1st.

had a headache on my left side of head so couldnt sleep OTL went to talk to my class ppl then when came back cl was already sleeping =w= so got to bed.

-----------------------------------------

YAY. TODAY NO LESSON OSO. WHOOO!!! it was cancelled.

slacked the morning and took vid for personal profile assignment thing. did a backtuck @ the area outside the lift. hahaha. havent done that on hard ground in MONTHS. (only did it one other time while break dancing with queky). sam helped me vid it so she was the only one hu saw (: and it quite sucked. bad OTL aw man... sadness... tho still really proud tt i can sorta land it after stopping gym for 1 and a half yrs already.

2010-09-16T17:52:00.005+08:00

HAHAHAHA. THOROUGHLY ENJOYED DAV LESSON TODAY 8DDD
had some theory for video-ing and such (christina used my laptop for showing the slides and all OTL), then got an assignment to video someone travelling from the dorm blk to classroom blk XDD ok, @ 1st, it was a little pain trying to figure out was kinda shots to take and plan everything. ~~i dont think i was a good camera person either OTL~~. but after DAMN LONG. we finally got all the shots we nided.
@ 1st was given 1hr to do 5 shots, but then we ended up taking like 2 and 1/2 hrs for all 5 abt. hahahaha. my grp was a slowest (sam, ling, isaac, shu and i). had quite a bit of trouble with the vid cam audio too, then Jim helped us out and we found out the earphones were plugged into the wrong jack OTL HOMG. BUNCHA GOONDOOS. SO FAIL. hahahahhaha.
it got fun when we parodied isaac (he was the actor) crawling up the stairs till the 6th floor XDD hehehehe. he acted DAMN WELL. the 4 of us were trying so hard to not laugh while he was draggin himself up the stairs. heeeeheeeeheeeee. i seriously rolled on the floor in laughter aft we finished taking the last shot of him crawling from the stairs to inside the classroom XDDDDD HAHAHAHA.
(so gonna keep that video. BLACKMAIL. hahaha. jkjk.)
that lesson was fun. everyone but out class ppl + shu + shizuka had already left for lunch by the time we showed christina (lecturer) our footage.

didnt hav proper bf (some honey stars, half cup milo, icms bar) so was damn hungry. had cheapo fast food. then went grocery shopping (AGAIN) to get bread and some spreads for bf ~~(lazy to go out in the morning to get bf 8D)~~
sam said this thing looks like its picking its nose XDD HAHAHAHHAA >>>

OH YEAH.
forgot to post abt last night. had PIZZA HUT PIZZA for dinner. it was S$50 abt for 9 ppl! quite good!

after dinner went to the 两元 shop (we seem to be going there everyday =w=) again cos someone (cant rmr hu) nided to get hangers. saw this bag that looked like a cheap imitation of shugo chara's utau (yellow hair) and amu (pink hair) .______. >>

i miss everyone back in singapore. really. its fun talking to my parents on skype @ night tho its only audio... isaac and chang lin seemed to enjoy it too =w= (@ MY EXPENSE OTL). they kinda object to me dyeing my hair in china tho... hmm...

over budget

2010-09-15T17:42:00.005+08:00

OTL. i've been spending over budget... sigh. but then its the 1st few days and nided to get quite a few stuff... and then still planning to go dye hair (most prob) @ end of the wk too.

nid to leave for dinner and get a mop in 15mins abt. other class not very happy we borrowing from them atm. sigh.

yesterday shared dinner and went to go get more cup noodles. hahaha. chang lin didnt come along so got her cup noodles for her dinner.

today was 2nd IS lesson on Chinese Opera. it was 10x more interesting than mon's history lesson. the lecturer was 10x better too. she was really lively and quite engaging. and i didnt fall asleep! hahahah. she even sang some examples for us. her voice was good. really. Jim said she was a nice teacher. i think so too (: translated a bit for shizuka again. actually sorta understood this lesson cos the tchr spoke lots of english and guided us along extremely well. lesson was only like 1 hr 15mins so then had time for lunch b4 having to meet up @ 2pm for bus ride to some animation company place (details given were damn vague). had 鸡蛋炒饭 from a stall. abt S$1 (5 renminbi).

hahaha. chang lin's really happy she can now play GE (Grenado Espada) damn a lot. isaac told her it might work and now it is. she's @ the desk beside me in the room playing while i'm posting this.
ling xuan and xin hui's been playing audition in the room opposite on xh's comp recently too. ahhahaha. and of course. as usual, the guys are still gaming in their room a few doors down too.
sam has been skyping a lot. mel... i dunno wad she's doing... i've been blogging.

side note: mel eats the slowest... hahahaha.

the animation company was friggin boring. i slept thru practically everything. except the part where we walked ard their working area ~~(not talented enuf to sleepwalk)~~. i had no idea wad the crap was being said OTL - facepalm -
and the office area looked like a school staffroom. a little sad.
heard from one of the fms tchrs that those few animators and other that were working there are actually paid really little. except maybe the person in charge i think.

isaac has been damn irritating singing the happy tree friends theme song in the squeaky nasal voice. shizu said someone should punch him. shu and i hav wacked him multiple times. uhhuh. oh the SATISFACTION ~ *grin*

our clothes were havin some trouble drying when we hang them in the room. they end up smelling bad too =w= so got some advice from hwee ping (sp? she's from the other class) saying we can hang them outside our window on the ventilator place thing. so chang lin and i did. it stinks less now. and dries A LOT faster! a few hrs and almost dry.
i just hope the clothes dont end up FLYING AWAY. scary...

having some trouble with stupid international phone card too. damn thing cant work. no idea why. trying to fig it out then can call family back in singapore. grrrr DD8<<

need to start on 1st journal entry for school home work by tonight. making another blog just for it. will post up link when i start on it tonight. ah maaan. no idea wad to write lah OTL

k. gtg ready to leave the room now. cya.

DAV 1st lesson

2010-09-14T18:04:00.002+08:00

only had half day lesson today ~ yay ~

had honey stars and hot milo (thx chang lin) of bf. hahaha. the cup and cutlery mum asked me to bring came in handy XD
went down for 9am class, but then was told that class would only start @ 10am cos all classrooms used =w= so now standardised classes start @ 10am. \o/. YES. NO NID TO WAKE UP SO EARLY FOR CLASS. WOOOHOOOO.
- ahem -
anywy. wasted an hr, then had DAV 1st lesson. basically was going thru camera functions and testing out audio and blah. then thoery on camera angles and different kinda shot positions... ~~was dozing off for awhile~~ ... then got briefed on all the graded assignments we hav to do thruout this whole module here in china.

shu intro-ed us to the kbox that has tons of jap songs that we can sing 8DD so then we can go when we get back to singapore XDD whooo ~ called cash studio.

CA1 = personal video profile (10%)
CA2 & Portfolio = Wuhan/Wubei Sights and Sounds Video Montage (20%)
Test 1 = "Slice of Life" Video Essay (20%)
Asg 1 = Submission on CA1, CA2 and Test 1(20%)
Asg 2 = group project on an approved topic (30%)

all these sound cool (:

anywy. we ended early @ ard 1pm. so went back to rooms, had la mian again for lunch. i played some cards with the girls, figured out how to use the washing machine and am now posting this.

took damn long to figure out how to get the machine to work. cos we nided to get a card, then top it up with money. then tap the card to some sensor for electricity and blah and we didnt noe wad to do. till sam and i went down to ask (SAM did all the asking XD) how to work the machine. the lady told us the instructions were on the back of the kitchen door OTL hahahaha. finally got it after reading instructions... spammed buttons cos didnt noe wad to press to start washing clothes OTL (and NO. we didnt forget to put washing powder into the machine with the clothes =w=).
2nd time washing (had to many clothes to wash) i found out which buttons to press without spamming. hehehehe. \o/.

now barely enough space to hang clothes to dry so improvising by hanging rafia string b/n chairs. and in the shower curtain metal beam in toilet. sam and lx's room hung clothes on rafia string b/n the beds (they taped the string down).

nid to go out to get dinner and a broom (to sweep hair off the floor =w=) soon. but then most of the girls are having a nap and the guys are gaming (as usual -___-"). not sure they'll be happy to get out of the room. argh. getting late. gtg be the 'responsible grp leader' and get them to go out. hahahaha. chang lin's a grp leader too! BUT SHE'S SLEEPING OTL

1st day of lesson

2010-09-14T01:48:00.003+08:00

aw damn. posting this late so its now the nxt day. nvm. now i'm talking abt YESTERDAY.

it was the 1st day of lesson and we had IS in the mornin. chang lin woke me up with a jolt @ 7.45am. and uh. i woke up late OTL. was supposed to be knockin on classmates' doors by 7.45am, but then i just woke up. ah well =w= left @ 8.05am for bf with the usual gang (shizu, mel, xh, lx, sam, bya, marky and saac).
went to classrooms on time this time. but then all the available classrooms were being used, so had to wait awhile to get into class (rmr? the whole building only has 3 available classrooms =w=).

NOOOOOO. IS LECTURES ARE IN CHINESE. NOOOOOOOOO. AAAARRRGGGHHH DDD8<<<<
2hr lecture on ancient chinese history OTL and then cos shizuka doesnt understand chinese, i tried to be nice and try to translate... and... FAILED MISERABLY. my chinese already sucked bad... and so... LALALALALA OTL i tried my best... but then after going thru evolution and all the ages and dynasties leading up to the qing dynasty, after the qing dynasty part, i got lost OTL then beside me shizu was sleeping (hahahhaha). so decided to just giv up trying to translate. tried to understand was lecturer was talking abt again, but then fell asleep too. hehehehehehehe. IT WAS FRIGGING ANCIENT CHINESE HISTORY!! AND. AND. I WASNT THE ONLY ONE TO FALL ASLEEP OKAY!?!?! chang lin switched off and started drawing, sam stoned, marky was busy taking photos and blah, isaac... i cant rmr wad he was doing... i think he was stoning too. some ppl diagonally behind me was sleeping... uhhuh... then when shizuka woke up, she started drawing. and i started writing crap on my notebook (i'm not the kind to draw... more like write down wad i'm thinkin @ the moment. and random blegh.). shizu drew a neko gin that was SO DAMN CUUTE ~ and i love gin (bleach) ~ so she gav the drawing to me. stapled it into notebook. will upload photos later XDD

finished whole lecture @ abt 11.30pm then FREE REST OF THE DAY \o/ went back to rooms. mopped floor (FINALLY. YES. FLOOR IS CLEAN NOW. happyhappyhappy ~). then decided to go with Jim (1 of the np lecturer's hu came with us on the trip) to some photography place (a whole area selling photography stuff). went lunch with some 1M02 ppl too. the la mian was nice. then the 1M02 ppl decided not to go to that place. so only 1M04 + shizuka followed Jim to walk DAAAAAMN long to the busstop. then get onto bus and take a 40 min ride. bus ride was BOUNCY. and JERKY. and someone spat on the floor nxt to me. EW OTL then got off bus and walked summore. got ice cream. stopped @ a cool alley to take photos and get ice cream 8D walked summore thru some random places which sold wedding dresses and stuff (got a little lost). and i think Jim was following GPS on his iphone. hahahahahaha. and we were following him. finally reached the place and it ended up an extremely big disappointment DDD8 no many camera shops. shops mainly sold lighting equip only. sad. but then we saw some coolio shops too. selling different themes of wedding clothes. they looked like cosplay stuff a little. ahahhaha. went nearby shopping centre for groceries and went round. GOT LOLLIPOPS 8DDD AND GUM. and OTHER STUFF (eg. bottle of pepsi, blahblahblah ~). then went dinner @ another shopping centre. managed to get white specs @ abt S$5 for ema skye's cos XDD yay~ ~~now just nid to paint the lenses pink~~ . had some chinese fast food place for dinner. it was not bad :D
reached back to hostel @ 8+pm. fooled ard on comp. washed some clothes in sink with the coolio laundry paper. ~~not sure it works tho. i think it did... nono. let me re-phrase that. i HOPE IT FRIGGING DID.~~

---------------------------------------

now supposed to be doing journal hw, but its damn difficult. and i dunno where to start. so just posting this 1st so that i dont forget wad happened today. nid to rmr wad happened to actually write the journal thingy. sigh.

tmr its full day lesson from 9-1pm, then 2-5pm.
ROFL. lx's playing audition on xh's mac now. ahahahaha. ho wow. she's good :D
oh. heehee. she let me play a very slow song 8DDD havent played it in 4 yrs =w= since it started i played for like a wk, then got bored.

tmr the girls in the gang arent bothering to go out to get bf. so bringin wateva snacks we hav to sam and lx's room. hehehe. the guys still wanna go get food.

ok. should get to sleep soon. or @ least return to my room. still in xh and mel's room. hehe. skyping with pang and macaroni was fun just now (:

now in china :D

2010-09-12T23:47:00.010+08:00

argh... forgot to post last post b4 leaving for china =w= thought couldn't access blogger or facebook or twitter or youtube for 1 whole month OTL felt so incomplete and disconnected... sigh... ahahahhaa. everyone totally rejoiced when we found out could access these sites after connecting to internet, then connecting to the np student VPN server thing. phew.

but then now internet is lagging =w= ah well. nvm. i'm happy enough.

sadness... tonights's the last night we're actually quite slack... tomorrow lessons start DDD8
1st lesson is IS. will do my best here. hahaha. and try to improve my chinese oTL oh gosh... it's seriously damn fail. I WILL IMPROVE FOR THE SAKE OF MY LEARNING OBJECTIVES.

will blog quite often here in china. whenever i can. most probably at the end of everyday if possible. want to keep track of the stuff that happens here (: because its like a 1 in a lifetime experience and i THINK i might be able to use these posts as my journal for schoolwork too. i hope.
and also because i regretted not blogging when i was in Japan 2 yrs ago when i had another awesome school trip. didn't bring laptop or anything, but got to be able to use a computer for awhile 1 of the days. then my blog was still dead during that period of time. sadness.... at least still got my black book diary that we wrote in japan though. hehehe. yay ~
right... back to topic. yes. will be blogging. so all u people who want to know what's happening here in china get fresh off the bat information/gossip/tales XDDD hahaha.

wuhan's weather's kind of interesting. temperature is about the same in singapore. but doesn't feel as hot. air's quite hazy though (cy was right. can't see the clouds D8). i guess its not as humid as singapore... still relatively cool, but there's sun. and at night it really is cooling...

our rooms hav air conditioner XDD but then can't put too low because chang lin's not used to sleeping in lower temperatures. aww. ah well... at least i dont freeze to death. ~~isaac and marky's room was at 16 degrees at 1st OTL madness.~~

i think i remember almost everyone's names who's in mma who's in china now (: yay ~ but i still dont really know them as friends yet. except shu mei.

--------------------------------------------

got sent to the airport on fri night (12midnight) by mum and freddiefish. when i said bye to everyone at home was in danger of a breakdown OTL
was allowed to stay at the airport from midnight to the nxt morning flight. heeeheee. because i didnt really want my parents to wake up so early in the morning just to send me to airport. had to meet at 5.30 on 11 sept (sat).
in the end... chang lin couldnt make it till 4am and cy abandoned us =w= so it was just isaac and i at T3 walking ard in circles then finally deciding to sit down somewhere. re-packed my big ~~gigantic~~ luggage, then settled down to re-watch GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka). (HAHAHA. I BROUGHT 2 DRAMAS AND AN ANIME WITH ME). isaac watched it too and i think he likes it XD yay. (love GTO. its damn inspirational.). watched for 2hrs+. then was hungry so went to hunt for food. decided to hav macs. hahaha. thatt was at 3am+.
then chang lin called saying she was on the way. so finished eating, took shuttle bus to T1 to meet her. (wanted to take monorail, but then it was closed DDDDX sadness.)(had some trouble carrying luggage so isaac helped :D). victor was there too.
it was already 4+am by then. stayed and talked and slacked until everyone came and blah. lalalallala. blah. check in. photo. waited to board. yadayadayada... flew off @ 8am+

flight food was bad. really. quite. bad. there wasn't anything else to do besides sleep most of the 4hr flight. sat nxt to melissa on one side and next to theodore from 1M02 on the other side :D near window seat.

got off the plane. collected luggage. got 2-3hrs of randoming around the Goouangzhou airport (transit). saw a disturbing advertisement... and guardian was called MANNINGS. HAHAHA.

went to boarding gate. then flight delayed. so played cards ~~and i didnt win a single round of taiti with isaac, mark and shu OTL isaac won most.~~ flight got delayed for like another 3 hrs+ i think. then watched more GTO till macbook pro batt near empty. got free food cos flight was delayed.

went in. had to wait because weather wasnt good for flying. talked and laughed with marky and mel. got window aisle seat on left of plane.

collected bags and all. took a 1 1/2 hr long shuttle to the school. (still cant rmr name. Hwa Zhong something). watched The A-Team with isaac but didnt finish the movie. got assigned rooms and sorted out roommates and neightbours. rooming with chang lin XDD

i think i'm becoming obsessive compulsive =w= hahaha. like rachie. heehee. the floor is damn dusty. or that's wad i feel. getting used to it now, but still. ah well. ita bearable i guess. felt like cleaing though. got settled down in rooms. ran back and forth through friends' rooms. then bathed and called it a night.

----------------------------------------------

on to today's stuff.
this morn went breakfast with classmates. homg. food was cheap! and filling! and nice! ordered the only thing i could read and say =w= sadness. i'm continuously feeling fail at my lack of chinese ability OTL. around S$0.80 and i was really full.鲜肉煎包.

supposed to meetup by 10.15am. got a small lecture by teachers because we were late. ah nvm. wasnt that bad. then went for t mopening ceremony in a cool meeting room. like a conference room of sorts. ~~i took the free water. hehehehe.~~ then got a tour of a school. =w= we only got 3 rooms to use for 58 np students in 2 different courses... hmm...

the whole sch campus is really big though. there're also lots of street shops around.
got free lunch at a restaurant, but because all the ingredients came 1st, then rice took too long to come, everyone at my table (my class ppl + shizuka + shu + michelle, an fms student) lost appetite =w
settled phone stuff (eg sim card purchasing) tt took long. got a tour round nearby to see all the shops and stores. WE SAW A POSTER FOR A COSPLAY EVENT HAPPENING IN WUHAN FROM 1 OCT - 4 OCT. OMG. coolio man. chang lin, shu and i are planning to try to check it out. ahhahaha.
got led to nearby department stores. then got let off for the day. so my class ppl + shizuka went to look around and get groceries. had to use lockers outside the supermarket. took awhile to get the hang of it. then STUFFED our bags into the small lockers. it was a new experience! got water/toilet paper and other stuff. then went next door department store. because marky wanted kfc. haha. only ate a chocolate sundae cos didnt feel hungry.
HOMG. ANIME AND MANGA MERCHANDISE SHOP. WHOOOOOO. spent like near 1 hr there trying to choose badges. ahahaahaha. so happy ~ i spent like S$7 there so far =w= (still need to go back before leaving wuhan to get souveniers for friends. easy xmas gifts and such). went up to arcade. saw A GIGANTIC dissidia and lightning poster (each covers a whole wall). quite nice 8D
happily went back to rooms. it was already 6+ by then.
GOT CONNECTED TO FB AND OTHER STUFF. YAAAYYY.
SKYPED WITH RACHIE AND MY FAMILY \o/ WHOOOOOO ~
BATHED!!
...
wait.
crashed sam and lx's room for cup noodles dinner. and talked to macaroni on skype 8D ~~he looks nice in glasses as compared to without. less fierce-looking. no offense mac.~~
talked and ate with shizu, isaac, lx, sam, xin hui (but she was missing most of the time) and bya (chang lin's cosplay nickname. easier to type). then nxt crashed isaac and marky's room. finished watching The A-Team with isaac XDD yay ~ heehee. it was funny. then back in room to blog/upload photos/tweet/listen to music.

----------------------------------------

took extremely long to finish this post. sorry its really draggy. need to get to bed. its actually the nxt day 12.40am right now and i need to get up for breakfast before lesson @ 7+am. so yeah. 1st day of lesson. hope its not bad. no. let me re-phrase that... HOPE ALL THE LESSONS ARENT BAD. bya just shut down computer. got to go too. goodnight world. that's all for now.

Noblesse

2010-09-07T01:11:00.005+08:00

and my latest fav series is... dundundun...

Noblesse

it's damn great!! a korean web manhwa.
it seriously is an extremely refreshing series. i guess that's 1 reason why i love it so much.
mich tanzil recommed it XDD
finished till the latest chp of it yesterday afternoon.

synopsis (i just copied and pasted from mangafox. ehehehehe.)
He awakens. For 820 years he has slumbered with no knowledge of mankind's advancements and scientific successes. The land which he once knew has become an unfamiliar place with new technologies, attitudes, and lifestyles. Cadis Etrama Di Raizel (aka Rai), seeking to familiarize himself with this era, somehow locates a loyal servant of his, Frankenstein, who is currently the principal of a South Korean High School. Rai decides that this high school would be the perfect place to help him learn about the new world, enrolls, and randomly begins hanging out with a group of students to blend in. But this new world is no safer than the old, and the dignified, bewildered, technologically illiterate Rai finds himself caught up in adventures both ridiculous and dangerous.

the whole series is totally in colour and the arrangement of panels and really different compared to normal manga or comics. panels go vertically. and considering the lack of panels, the whole story is told clear and well.
another awesome part of Noblesse is the comic relief. hands down. it has one of THE. BEST. moments ever! from serious to funny, the atmosphere of the story changes in the blink of an eye. 1 moment ur sitting @ the edge of the chair in anticipation and the nxt ur rolling on the floor from extreme laughter XDD @ least that's how i feel.
~~had to stifle laughter SO MANY TIMES at night cos didnt wanna laugh so loud then wake the whole hse up. hurt myself trying to hold it in too OTL kicked the table/chair by accident...~~
~~then in the day cos didnt wanna laugh like some maniac in front of grandparents, ran upstairs and buried head in pillow to laugh like crap OTL~~
in a way, i guess some of the jokes are kinda repetitive, but its still seriously funny nonetheless. its too hilarious to explain 8DDD
ah yes. i cant forget this... really CANNOT forget this... BISHOUNENS. I MEAN SERIOUSLY. BISHIES. DAMN HOT. (shall not reveal here). my fav is HAN SHINWOO. hell yeah XDD
but sadly, the role of female chars in this web comic is extremely limited. it would be cool if the females in the story had more significant roles... but i noe its difficult.

there. said most of wad i wanted to say abt it... if i say anymore it'll totally ruin the surprise. its 1 of the rare series where i seriously wanna re-read all over from the beginning just to savour it again. sigh ~

DEFINITELY 100% RECOMMEND IT. GO TRY IT OUT.

the 1st parts could be a little boring and take awhile for the story to build up, but its worth it.

----------------------------------------

started on the hw for China trip. abt half done. nid to fin it by thur then can hand in on fri or earlier.

rachie's comin over later in aftnoon XDD yay ~~ we havent played tgt for so long. ahaha. missed her.

stupid macbk pro =w= nid to bring it for servicing, but then nid min of 3 days for repair... then i nid my notebk by thur morn cos nid to bring to sch for something D:<< and i oso nid it to finish work. ARGH. gonna try my luck tmr morn to see if they can fix it in like a day if possible. if not then i think i wont bother trying to send it in for repair till after the china trip. damn...

-----------------------------------------

after finishing Noblesse till the latest chp, i started on another manga series that mich recommed called Zennou no Noa: The World Of Lost Memories. it kinda reminds me a little of deadman wonderland and bloody monday... only a little tho. maybe cos the genre of this story should be similar to both of the other 2. the art is nice. but then sometimes the characters end up having too big eyes which results in the characters' faces looking like bugs. the worst is the protagonist. =w= especially when they're glaring or surprised/shocked (both these expressions happen A LOT). so yeah. the eyes BUG me A LITTLE. hahaha.

ah. now besides continuing Lovely Complex, not in the middle of chionging any other series atm. shall search thru the list of series i wanna read and start on something or continue on one that i stopped awhile ago... and re-read noblesse too XDDD
hmm... nid to do more music hunting for vocaloid and nico nico too... :/

for now tho... night world.

I ADMIT.
totally wasting time blogging instead of doing IS assignment for upcoming china trip. oh fish.
BUT.

I'M KINDA PARANOID.
for packing so many shirts.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
that i hav so many coolio anime/non-anime shirts i wanna bring to wear over there.
HEHEHHEEHEHE.
this is so damn random as usual. whutthefish. shall stop now.

atm reading Black Bird and Lovely Complex at the same time... craving for shoujo manga i guess.

and shit its damn hot. whythehell hav recent nights been so effing hot? sigh... FAN.

my forehead is breaking out in pimples. disgusting, i noe. trying to rectify it. now.

recently been spamming blog. guess i'm just bored really. bored. heh.
there's so much going on in my mind. but its hard putting them down in words.

hmm... concerning the hw gotta do for the china trip... @ least my dad gav me inspiration on wad aspect of China i should focus on researching... ART... CHINESE ART... might be kinda interesting i guess (: and cos dad's such an art maniac... i might be able to get a little help. \o/. hell yeah.

this sept is my current blog's 4th yr anniversary (: hehe. i'm proud of ya, bloggie. congrats.
~~whuticantbelievei'mcallingitbloggie.whuthehelliswrongwithme.~~
(actually started blogging since jan 2006, but then my previous blog kinda failed on me so had to transfer every freakin thing over... sigh)
as some sort of celebration, read thru some of the earliest posts i did. haha. omg. they were kinda lame XD *grin*
i've seriously come a long way since secondary school. love my blog. its kinda like my e-diary i guess...
i'm not a very intersting blogger tho. i admit that too. most of the time just putting down wad happened in bare facts...

HAHAHAHA. i get it. right. i get why subconciously i dont blog much EXCEPT the bare facts. its cos i dont like talking abt my feelings much. i think abt them a lot, ~~maybe too much~~, but... just dont like speaking them out to the world.
- dejected sigh -

somehow... now i'm feeling kinda happy and... a little... sad... after thinking abt my blog and typing the previous 2 paragraphs down... u noe the kind of feeling when u giv a sad smile? tt's wad's on my face right now...

what's wrong with me dammit. this is so warped.

Hana to Akuma

2010-09-03T11:44:00.001+08:00

finished reading till latest chp of Hana to Akuma just now ~ whooooot!!
ahhahaa. took abt 10 hrs (+ dinner, blogging, and other daily needs tho i DID sacrifice some slp ~~but that's normal~~...) to finish 53 30+ page chapters.
it was so sweet XDDD seriously... at 1st it wasnt that great, but then it got interesting quite fast ~ heeheee.
LOVE IT.

14 yr old Hana lives with a demon named Vivi (yes, girly name i noe. just ignore) in a mansion. 10 yrs ago, Vivi decided to live in the human world out of boredom and picked up a human child. Since then, Vivi (along with the maids and butler, Toni, of the house) has raised Hana. Story basically revolves ard them and their troubles blahblah plus a few other side characters that keep the story interesting.
its a shoujo manga so of course its romance. and there's quite a bit of comedy too. hahahhaa. damn funny. had some trouble trying to hold in extreme laughter with family in the house OTL
sorry. my intro's kinda flat-sounding but wateva. read it then u'll understand.

after mich recommed it to bekah and i, now bekah's started on it too :D i think she'll really like it as well.
sometimes i really crave a good shoujo manga...

tho now i seriously nid to start on hw and packing list for the china trip OTL gotta go buy stuff during wkend and nxt wk... MUST FORCE MYSELF B4 STARTING ON NXT MANGA SERIES.

on a manga spree right now.

I MISSED COSPLAYING A LOT. REALLY.

yesterday evening cosplayed with fire, ryo, akari and phoebe (akari's sis) for some japanese sch's 25th anniversary dinner party that joe (the pic of my jap sch Beyond Languages) asked ~~technically hired cos we got paid~~ us to cosplay for.
i did killua with the bloody hand ver. of course it caused tons of mishaps and wateva crap with the paint OTL but i guess it was relatively bearable. a little tiring to keep in in the same position thruout the whole evening tho. and had to do my left hand cos i nided my right hand to eat and blah. anyhw did the blood. it didnt look tt good i admit. looked like i just dunked my hand into the body paint then took it out and let it dry =w= I DIDNT OKAY?!?! oTL

wont go into much detail. we were late OTL i felt bad. lalalalalalalala. dinner wasnt tt nice actually.
met super killua fan. she said she took a photo of my @ 1 of the past events too. kinda cool. added me on fb. it was nice talking to her (: she's a really good singer too. she sang for the dinner. it wasnt THAT boring. a lot of ppl asked for photos so we posed with/for them.
didnt take many photos with my cam DDD8 no time to camwhore. sad.

got free dinner and $30 for being in cos there 8DDD whoot. left ard 10pm.

then tues evening went to watch Liar Game The Final Stage with ayanami, kyo, tranquil and kirin (im only girl T_T)
actually wanted to watch b4 the party on sat. but then cinema fully booked then hadta cancel D8
FINALLY GET TO WATCH IT.
it was ok-ish. not great, but ok. most of the time i dont NOT like movies that i wanna watch so... yeah.
tho the soundtrack was kinda limited... and the effects were damn drama =w= (theres like 20-30 secs of screentime when the character just lost then they are like kneeling on the floor and screaming and the camera is shaking for effect =w= A BIT irritating).
i kinda thot the game for this movie was a little to sweet. like everyone kinda managed to get off scott-free of debt =/ like somehow it was just a little too good to be true for the liar game standard. uhhuh....
but maybe its just me... *shrug* ...

----------------------------------------

today went bball and tennis @ lxs place. it was damn fun but oso damn tiring OTL. seriously.
played bball black shirts vs blue shirts 3V3 (sam, mark and i black shirts team. cy, isaac and ryan blue shirts team). (lx, xh and mel were playing tennis).
it was super scorching hot OTL
took photos of ppl playing bball (usin sams camera)(didnt bother using mine cos sam and mel already took theirs out.)
played tennis with xh 8D
everyone was kinda sitting in the shade @ the bball court... then like isaac said that if anyone gets a 3-pointer in, hell do 20 pushups. ahahahaha. ryan and cy tried. then i joined it. but couldnt shoot normally cos no technique and strength so threw it the b/n the legs way that sakuragi (from slam dunk) did the 1st time he got a free throw in.
IT WENT IN. AHAHAHAHA. ISAAC DID 20 PUSHUPS. AHAHAHAHA.
THEN CY GOT ANOTHER ONE IN. ISAAC DID SUMMORE PUSHUPS.
THEN CY GOT ANOTHER ANOTHER ONE IN. ISAAC AND RYAN DID 30 PUSHUPS. HAHAHAHAHA. (got vid XDD)
then isaac, ryan, cy said that if anyone gets another 3-pointer in, macaroni (big mark) would havta do 40 pushups 8DDDDD
then fumigation at the condo started. so we had to zhao for fresh air D=
but then b4 i left (1 of the last to leave), tried one more 3 pointer......
AND IT GOT IT. AND THERE WERE WITNESSES. SAM AND ISAAC. not sure if anyone else saw. SO NOW MACARONI OWES 40 PUSHUPS. *evil laugh* WAHAHAHAHA 8DDDDD
