2011-04-14T00:45:00.004+08:00

i think i should start a tumblr blog or twitter or something. easier for me to rant and all that jazz, right?

anyways, reading a certain Ameranada fanfict is reminding me of the pathetic time i spent in depression; almost 2 weeks-a month i think? would stare at the ceiling thinking of nothing at all, cry at the strangest times, and had almost no sleep. more like, i want to sleep but i can't. and then i'll either end up staring blankly at everything or start crying all over again.

either that, or i slept and woke up after an hour or something - definitely not enough of sleep,i swear- and have batshit crazy dreams half the fucking time. which, might i add, will wake me up for certain.

i probably lost weight during that time too. not like i can remember any of it. nor do i want to.

back to reading now; i hope things turn out better for the characters and i'll stop feeling so depressed.

and omg please end quickly i am procrastinating on my costume just because i am reading fffffff

/stresses

I have a really bad feeling something bad is gonna happen.

I mean, I know its my fault, but still.

edit:

sigh. i want to cry. i am so worried ):

okay annoying person, i really hate you sometimes

2010-09-28T01:40:00.003+08:00

been really long since i blogged; i dont think anyone even comes here anymore. ah well.

been real annoyed lately by a certain person.

sometimes, i really need a channel to let out my anger and stuff. but i doubt anything is a good option.

i dont see why i keep wasting my time/tears/life getting annoyed by you.

and when we argue, i already want to stop by going to my room.

and then YOU HAVE TO FRIGGIN' COME OVER AND TRY TO MAKE YOUR POINT

what is your problem?

and i was like 'JUST GO AWAY' loudly, and you say i have shouted at you

and complained to others about me and make me look bad

forget it. i will not bother anymore.

i dont want to talk to you ever again. even if i have to see you all the time

174 - too many?

2010-03-23T22:03:00.003+08:00

i think i'm trying to do too many things at once.

work, then when i go home i wanna start on actually finishing my Blaze Edge but i never do it.

and then i keep thinking about my cosplay plans and that i should draw and that i wanna make some video with my friends and how i have a hundred and one things to do

but i just keep slacking and go onto facebook to play castle age and i keep getting distracted by One Piece and fan ficts and whatnot OTL

also, my fats are making me feel worse about myself OTL

i needa start drawing though. if not i wont have things for my portfolio in time to come, which will indefinitely kill me TAT

173 - contradiction

2010-03-08T02:26:00.002+08:00

idk.

its like you keep saying that you dont want/need something, but you feel like you're subconsciously craving it. or something like that.

like attention for example.

its like you'll say things or pretend to be sick or whatnot so people can pay attention to you, but then when they do you get kinda shy and say 'no i'm fine.'

or or. dieting

telling yourself you need to slim down but still eating alot and telling yourself that you're actually not that fat so a little is fine (when the little is somehow alot)

and this one. trust/guilt

one of the strangest things ever.

you fight with your friends and then you tell yourself never to talk to them ever again.

you delete them from your facebook, msn, phone, etc. but you remember their numbers forever already and add them back on later.

and this happens after you talk to other friends who tell you another side of the story and you have problems trusting the friends you fight with .

then you feel guilty for not trusting them at first and feel bad about the bad things you did to them. but even with this guilt you still dont trust them.

what is this i dont even

argh i'm not making sense here am i

/goes to read

i dont care if its friggin 2.40am

i have cramps and i cant sleep with it D8

172 - sigh.

2010-02-10T22:28:00.003+08:00

with too much assignments and studio project

maybe i procrastinate and work slowly.

but i cant help it T^T

i get distracted too easily orz

and nowadays so stressed, and i still keep nomming on stuff

zijing is gonna get fat man

and i think my gunblade is spoiling

no time to give it a proper check though OTL

167 - rant again

2010-01-09T19:09:00.016+08:00

i hate to start the new year with ranting but i cant help it.

i just feel more stressed than ever.

tl;dr - this world needs more people who are actually knowledgeable and lrn2dothingsright

i'm in the process of learning too, so i hope i dont do it wrong

Point #1. DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU

there was the incident yesterday where this uncle camped outside my school and stopped my friends and I and asked questions about our course, and made us repeat things so many times. maybe because i was in a bad mood yesterday somehow and couldnt stand him, but seriously?

(my patience is better than that. i remember repeating things to this aunty for 2 whole hours and seeing all my buses go off. then again, i may be having PMS ytd. idk.)

i mean, did he even consult/discuss with his daughter about what she wanted before asking students?

and the least he could do is try to look on the internet about MOE and link to schools with courses, it should be there somewhere.

next thing. cosfucks. cosplay is about character portrayal, and is fun when you do it. so many things can be found online to help you look as close to the character as possible! but why i still see so much fucked up cosplays! though i must admit, some new cosplayers actually look nice ad close to the character they are cosplaying as. but there are so many i see which are just... OTL

especially certain guys and gals i hear about/see

~~about being OOC: if she doesnt smile, why do i see pictures of you smiling? omake is fine but that is only during shoots and when you're with friends right.~~

and body-wise. if you dont have the right size, change your diet and exercise routine so you can look as close to the character as possible lah! not that i have anything against obese people
cosplaying, but many eyes have been scarred forever. face shape and whatnot i know is cannot change le but if you have thick lips or what, at least use concealer or lipliner mah. and eyebrow-shape/color can be changed too, and you can try contouring.

and some more. some people dont put make-up on. wtf? and you still let photogs take photos of you when you dont have make-up on? then when people flame you you say you didnt have make up on before what what time. what is this i dont even

/nerdrage

LOOK AT THIS AS AN EXAMPLE

WHY DO I SEE SNEAKERS AND BLACK HAIR AND A BAG!

this. this above is the right way.

look and learn, girl on first picture.

(its not like you'd ever chance upon this entry, but just in case you do, i have given you a great example)

Point #2. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

and while i know that is true, i just... fail so hard. though i have been doing better than when i started, i still suck so much.

and 3D. WRYY YOU HATE ME SO MUCHHHH

Point #3. STOP GIVING EXCUSES FOR NOT DOING YOUR WORK

you. always give me excuse when you dont have any input. i know you have CCA stuff to do and your parents need to get up early and you cant close your room door and you need your sleep and all that shit.

but why give me that as excuse when you dont finish your work! hello, Earth to YOU: WE NEED SLEEP TO OKAY

and if the other classmate can do his stuff when he also has his CCA stuff you can do it too what.

cannot use school time to do work meh?

and what about negotiating with your parents to let you use the living room to do your work?

and what's with getting so fucking distracted all the time!

I CANNOT SENSE RESPONSIBILITY COMING FROM YOU CAN.

and you dont feel guilt for not finishing your work one leh.

your group mates are pissed with you okay. even i can see that.

and when everyone tells you to do your work, you just mumble a 'fine' and go back to getting distracted minutes later. WTF!

WAKE UP YOU IDEA!

i say this is for your own good okay.

and i swear. next time i say that and you dont wanna change. i am gonna give you warning, then i will keep your distractions from you by temporarily confiscating your things until you actually finish your work. and i dont care if you hate me and never talk to me again.

this is no joke.

Point #4. THIS FAG NEEDS A LIFE

this.

what is this i dont even

i somehow managed to read till chapter 41 and laugh at the fail, but even i dont have the will to carry on till the end.

this girl.

her fanfict is just so full of shit and her english is horrid, and she expects good reviews, threatening not to reveal new chapters if she doesnt get any.

go fuck yourself, bitch. we dont care if you dont input new chapters.

and white words against black bg hurt my eyes.

i didnt manage to see the people i'm looking for!

i didnt get to see the inside of the whole place!

2009-11-08T14:15:00.001+08:00

World Hetalia Day '09 and Halloween xD

2009-10-31T02:38:00.007+08:00

warning: long post x3

World Hetalia Day' 09

it was just awesome. but that is probably just an understatement. i made friends with so many people too! (points at dennis, ellen, jill, elena. i so glad i got to meet eurika at last after talking to her for some time on jyunmei's livestream xD )

zhiying and i went to get groceries last friday, and then she came over to my place. we made these teeny sandwiches that were so cute and yummy :3 (at least they were, to us xD ) and fried breadstix be wonderfully delicious~

saturday, poor Switzerland got drunk and kinda sick before the game and had to go puke in the washroom. i didnt join in the game, so joei and zhiying and i went to frolic on the beach x3

elena found an orange in the sea and tessie (who was cosplaying Belarus and thus had a knife) cut it up. it was edible! not that i ate the orange with them, but still. and it looks fresh!

and all of them drew these beautiful piccus while i sat and ~~stoned~~ watched xD

you people have nice drawings!! ~~and the prons to ohohohoh~~~

and kuni claimed me to be her slave for life and drew mochigirisu on my knee.

played around for a while more and then homed with a bunch of people xD

Halloween

dressed up for trick or treat in school today!

was sort-of made to make and wear cat ears OTL

tammy was a pirate, vickie and stacy were witches and kit you traitor! i thought you were gonna dress up so i did the cat ears! OTLLL ;;;;;;;

(there are more people i didnt mention, but i didnt forget you guys :3 )

i'm so glad i got to see my seniors and other friends dress up too!

and it was an exciting day! its my first time celebrating Halloween and i get to do so with my lovely class! ILU GUYS ;;

i laughed so much my cheeks and jaws hurt OTL

its too bad the other classes didnt dress up though!

and we received a full hat (maybe more?) of treats!

we had to sing/perform for some lecturers before we get treats though, but no matter :D

and there was this one office we went to, the lecturers attacked us with fake bullets the moment they opened the door. ouch xD

we even got to trick someone too! but that was because there was no one in the office. /fail

us: 'hey, we're gonna burst the balloon you have on your door if you dont open up!'

office: *no answer*

(2 of) us: *bursts balloon*

lecturers from the other office came out... 'i think they are all at lectures'

us: 'oops'

and then a lecturer from that office just happen to come back right after we burst the balloon on their door! LOL

there were people staring at my classmates (because they didnt dress down) at lunch. there was this man who was so shocked he totally stopped eating. haha. idk whether to say its kinda rude to be staring at people or fun to watch their expressions when they see us dress up. maybe art/animation students are weird like that?

jessica, charlotte, stacy and kit: had a small camwhore session before all of us went to the library xD

slacked there.

and omg the cookies at the library's cafe are so delicious<3

and then i went home and died on my bed. haha.

wasted... and school starting D:

2009-10-17T17:50:00.002+08:00

i believe i totally wasted the efforts to go down to ECP and cycle with the other cosplayers since i ate ice cream and chips and fries afterward. though i'm uber glad i made new friends! :D

bus trip home was long. took about 1.5 hours OTL

but at least it was cheaper. sort-of. and i managed to spam some sleep on the bus so yeah ^^

school is beginning in 2 days. i'm both dreading it and wanting school to start! i cant wait to learn color theory and meet my friends! then again, the assignments. ;;;;;

cosplay update:

1. dying for my gunblade now

2. gonna go for shoots as saikang and see how things go. maybe i'll have my own someday (though its most probably impossible since i suck haha.)

okay. shall go die on my bed or continue with props/watching Neon Genesis Evangelion now. bb

uhm. what?

2009-10-15T15:45:00.007+08:00

okay, i seriously need to stop complaining about Lightning being a difficult character to cosplay since i was the one who chose to do her in the first place.
and i have to stop procrastinating because heaven knows how much time i have when school starts. so maybe the first week will be kinda slack. maybe. but i havent been drawing for the 6 weeks in the holidays so i'd die once school starts again so goodbye to sleep and hello to more stress and crying since i'd have to work and do my costume on top of school and assignments and i draw so slow and take so long to come up with ideas so i'd probably die once school starts so yeah.

-insert scream pls-

thankfully i'm about half done with my stuff. i think i'll do the spray painting tomorrow and try to finish the gunblade today. i can do it if i chiong. i know i can. (must tell myself i can)

will probably die for costume though. the skirt thing is kinda hard to settle already, since the blue thing is actually some kind of shorts. maybe i'll cheat and use denim for the part that sticks out and wear dark blue FBTs under the skirt. idk. and the top... i think i may have to either get a half jacket in reddish tones and cut off the sleeves, or just modify this shirt i have though its black. and my dear mannequin, i'm sorry but i'd have to torture you for the jacket patterns i'm gonna have to try.

oh yes, and exercis be important since Lightning has these real sexy muscles

龍ノ啼ク箱庭拠リ

2009-10-13T01:01:00.003+08:00

because this is awesome xD

(found this pict online)

and where is luka? ;A;

n-new books?

2009-10-12T18:50:00.002+08:00

i just saw Blaue Rosen 2 at Tenchi and i want it so bad!

and i also want DOLLS, Superior, Togainu no chi, and DOGS manga!

and Heritage, the hetalia artbook, and a DOGS artbook!!

ah, i hate having no paypal and being so totally farking broke

MIND IS FUCKED FOREVER

I QUOTE ZHIYING: MIND IS FUCKED FOREVER.

yes, this is how disturbing this picture is.

gargh

2009-10-03T16:16:00.014+08:00

so many things going on right now, my mind is spinning.

~~to 'Lady" I~~

i seriously dislike your attitude towards people. i mean, i know once trust is lost, its hard to regain. but you shouldnt just lump everyone into the same category and criticize them all. just because YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ALL ABOUT US doesnt mean you can say those hurtful and offending words. oh, and one more thing? you're a serious bitch too. dont tell me people do this and that to you. you retaliated and did hurtful things too. AND JUST BECAUSE OF SOME PEOPLE FUCKING UP YOUR LIFE DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD CURSE THE REST.

~~and, OFFEND ME IF YOU WILL, BUT MY RELIGION? THAT IS WAY OFF THE LINE.~~

i know i'm ranting here too,

but, like, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SOLVING PROBLEMS IN DIPLOMATIC WAYS?

i cant stand you people quarreling/whining/complaining any longer.

its been on my nerves for the longest time

[/rant]

cosplay update

on a less harsh note, i have finally started on parts of my costume/prop

i hope i can finish everything i can/have the materials for by the end of the holidays

[personal list, view if you desire so]

which means i have to do:

Ed's arm for YaYi (i've been procrastinating for the LONGEST time OTL)

gunblade base

gloves

arm bands

touch up on boot covers

'paper-testing' Lightning's jacket

shoulder armor

school reopen,art materials, etc

art materials. have to get moar!! D<

school starts in 2 weeks

i havent drawn anything useful at allllllll

and i NEED to learn how to draw hair OMG

but i fail at everything already so yeah

now owing viv about $55 for chalet and part of my shipping fee

then will owe stuh-c more munnies due to art materials

you girls are so awesomely nice! i will return them munnies to you! kisses!

and so i end this rant here. shall get back to:

facebook games/manga/anime

ciao~

chalet and GCA

2009-09-21T20:29:00.002+08:00

DA0904 Chalet 2009, 14^th-18^th Sept

one of the funnest events everrr!! I LOVE YOU,GUYS!

thankyou everyone who's come for the chalet and making my life better :D

i apologise for not having done much other than staying there and asking everyone to clean up! OTL

i wonder if you can see the photos Vivianne (my class chairperson)'s boyfriend has taken? link

GCA 2009

went only on sunday and saw some awesome cosplays. i wish i was more into games though. cos i just went there and died waiting for Alan to appear,only to find him at Level 6 later. many apologies for dragging Esther and JiaYing out! and thanks for being ever so patient with me though i was just complaining half the time!

...and, i think really need to change so many aspects of me. definitely must think before i speak!

holidays,chalet,jobs, and cosplay!

2009-09-09T21:20:00.001+08:00

yeah,its the holidays at last!
i havent updated for so long i think its gonna rot here ): (someone shoot me if you will)
its been boring for a few days now. i'm amazed at myself for being able to finish so many manga chapters and anime episodes in just 4 days. heck, i'm even waiting for new episodes and chapters.

i probably screwed up my studio project but screw it. its time to enjoy!!!!!

DA04 CHALET IS ON!
totally cant wait :D
kelvin and vii and i went to Giant to buy some stuffs today. i hope the potatoes can at least last till monday! >_<

ON JOBS
secured (?) myself a place at Buddy Hoagies at the Khatib there the CC.
i hope everything will go well and i learn how to make all the drinks quickly and correctly!
people please come visit if you are in the vicinity! :D

AFA and Cosplay
i dont think i can attend GCA since i think i most prolly have to work! OTL
and i collected my Lightning stuff today.
THEY DIDNT HAVE MY WHITE CLOTH SO I HAVE TO FORK OUT MORE MONEY TO BUY SOME AND I NEED FABRIC PAINT COS THE CLOTH COLORS ARE ALL WRONG FDSHFDSHFSHFDSHFHDSFHSDHFHS
AND I CANT EVEN START ON THE COSTUME NOW SINCE I DONT HAVE MY WHITE CLOTH SO MEANS I HAVE TO WAIT TILL LIKE END OF THE HOLIDAYS THEN CAN START
AND I AM SELF-DECLARED BROKE SINCE I REALLY AM BROKE AND THAT MEANS I CANT GET THE CLOTH AND THE GUNBLADE MATERIALS TILL END OF HOLIDAYS/WHEN I GET MY PAY!!!!!!!! D<
okay. spazz/complain/whine time over.
i shall make cloth trips down to Arab Street next time before i order a costume, and either get myself a tailor or possibly commission jiaying's mom or buy a sewing machine and make the whole thing myself.
at least i know what i can and cant do to the Lightning costume so that's a relief.
and i have to start on the gunblade and YaYi's Ed arm soon too OTL

studio project and portfolio

2009-08-22T11:10:00.000+08:00

yes,we have to do something liek that.

and i only have 10 more days to doooooooo!!!!!!! *dies*

15-30 seconds of animation and a 10 page portfolio.
10 pages =/= 10 drawings.
1 pages = several drawings
so totally i'd probably have to do 30 drawings or so.

and 1 second of animation = 12 drawings shots in 2s
i dunno how much time mine will take but that means about 240 drawings = 240 layers on photoshop or more (<< imma trying to use flash)

and i just realised some days back that my blog has been 2 years old so HAPPY BELATED 2 YEARS BIRTHDAY!
maybe i'll draw something for this and use in my portfoilo.

my mind is so screwed now.

and people who create multi accounts to flame people are scary.
i must not go to the complaints section in sgcafe ever again.
have reputation as cosplayer to uphold.

gah whatever. have to go back to work or i'd never finish.

btw,camp was fun! miss spending time with all my ft buddies! made some new friends too! ~~sadly no one else other than me cosplays/is as interested in it as i am~~

random updates

2009-08-11T23:33:00.000+08:00

went cloth hunting with ZhiYing on wednesday. had tons of fun. especially all the shopping. i missed that totally. shall do it again someday.
ARTFRIEND having sales till this sunday. i wants to buy copics! but i got some from my XiMei jiejie (thankyou! ilu~!) so maybe that'll be put aside for now?
i need to buy plywood for my gunblade though. but that will come after i have made a blueprint for it.

ordered my wig, and sent in the money both for that and my costume. funds left? a meager $3.67
i need moar moolah!! someone just please hire me for a job already. (because begging for it or waiting for it to fall from the sky is just wrong)

sunday National Day, went for camp and had fun. i wished i got the number/email of PeiJuan jiejie. we were having so much fun though we only knew each other that day.
campfire was awesome. i was so ghey. i sang at the top of my voice (to the point of shouting and me losing my voice) and danced to no end.
i just love campfires <3
went home after the film about how this boy had an idea to start spreading love to 3 people. 1 helps 3, who in turn helps another 3 and so on. he dies in the end trying to help this kid who was bullied. the bully had a knife (how dangerous! i wouldnt carry around a knife. at least not in my hand. my 2 penknives are safely in my bag xD)

yesterday was back to more trying-to-fix-illustrator.
finally got pissed and dl-ed illustrator into my bro's pc.
i tried to do my work but i still got a nasty 0 for my design grade today.
oh well. i know i need to work faster.

i shall try not to put myself down so much.
i shall work harder.
i shall be awesome somedayyyy

updating after awhile/emo-ish post

2009-08-05T01:33:00.003+08:00

yes. i shall talk about the emo part first. you can skip to the part where i end my rant and tell you more fun things.

[rant]

i find that life in poly is actually fun. i mean, i have all my friends and classmates and all who are awesome people. i met cosplayers/senpai-s i can learn so much stuff from and do epic stuff together.

i just feel that i shouldnt be in my course any longer. i feel so depressed. more and more each day as i look at my non-improving work and the disappointing grades i've been getting.

and the ideas i have suck so much to the core. not that i have many ideas to begin with but still.

my class/course mates have to suffer from my ranting and uselessness as well, and always encouraging me and helping me but sometimes i think i dont deserve them at all. i mean, i havent even done anything for you people! (which means i should go do something)

its not that i dont appreciate all you people do for me though.

i'm actually ranting because i hate myself alot. for my uselessness and everything. just me,me, and me. (oh gosh so egotistical)

and i realised i've been more depressed and withdrawn these few days though i still crap alot/finding topics to chat about. maybe you'd get tired of me talking and talking someday. maybe its pms. maybe i'm sinking back into my 'emo and i'm-useless-sh*t mode'.

i'm just so tired,uninspired,and useless.

please dont let me sink back into my depression mode. i hate to fake smiles at everyone and pretend to listen to them while i'm stuck in my own thoughts all day.

[/rant]

okay,i feel a little better now. maybe. anyhows, i shall talk about the YOG Appreciation Dinner yesterday (:

the sad thing was that it turned out a little (?!?!?!?) shabby. i (and not only me) have thought that dinner=wedding dinner - ish style (aka sit at table and getting served like at weddings) so some of us wore real nice and stuff. in the end it turned out to be a buffet. i had a melon slice and some (yellow) orange squash. (yes,its yellow in color though they call it orange squash)

the cosplayers and i were doing epic stuff. we chatted real long about all things under the sun. we got a cleaning guy/buffet vendor worker to help us with some photos (you can see them on facebook) we got out of compound by crawling/rolling under the gate. we walked to the station and continued chatting, and toky found this good-for-photoshoot place.

i felt horrid for ditching my classmates though. i'd have loved to spend time with them but i have no skill to split myself into pieces (though i do that mentally alot.)

i wishes to have kagebunshin no jutsu!!!

and more money for cosplay plox.

back to more work now.. byebye~

short update thingy

2009-07-04T19:49:00.007+08:00

woohoo 150^th post but i'm spamming it instead -isshotdedplz-

anyways i went to FZD School and TGX at Suntec today. was boring and i lacked sleep so i was cranky. sorry clara.

and there were actually cosplayers and i had wanted to take photos but i didnt because i was too tired and there were too many people taking photos of them ):

i shall not attend TGX again i think.

and i shall take clara's advice and make sure i sleep alot and rest well next week so i wont be cranky/lazy/stupid for cosfest next weekend. I CANT WAIT FOR WORLD COSPLAY SUMMIT ahahahahah.

and i wants to get Lightning's costume NAO D: (cant upload picture so i provides link to the image of Lightning)

Lightning is from Final Fantasy 13. the game is coming out december this year

i love her to bits at this moment. i hope i still love her in time to come so i can cosplay her. but lightning is expensive ):

jacket + gloves + skirt + cape + shoe cover = $180

shipping is abt $45

and then i has to get a wig and a pair of boots which would probably cost at least $140.

and probably iron curlers to curl the wig or something. will try using plastic ones and set them with hairspray to see how it is first.

and i has to make her shoulder guard thing and her gunblade and the pouch thing which stores the gunblade and find myself a good long brown belt.

oh gawd.

homework (its like they're never ending and i hate doing them sometimes but they help me improve so wtheck)

drawing fundamentals - 2 more head studies

design fundamentals - revamp all pieces

ICA3

integrated assignment 1 - revamp

i dies here so goodbye.

addicted again!

2009-06-27T21:40:00.006+08:00

to classical music! :D

more of the violin than the rest! but i cant figure out what instruments are being played in those complicated pieces... i like instruments solo but with an accompaniment :D

i wanna learn violin some day!

went to get newsprint at conte on thursday. conte is so expensive D: each (super freaking short) piece cost $1.80!! luckily there is a 10% discount for cash payment (:

i ate with jianwei and xinli after that. i told xinli on wednesday i was going to bugis and she called jianwei along. i feel so bad they had to come down lah. next time i shall not do anything i may feel bad about in the future..save myself the remorse. must think properly before saying things!

and speaking of that. XinLi I'm SORRY for saying some stuff on thursday!

slacked totally yesterday and today! i should be doing my work!!! (someone shoot me please)

yesterday i was actually coloring this lineart i found. first time coloring something with a tablet.

took me super long to try to get the control of the tablet! but at least i tried >_>

i spent 12 hours trying to color it, but the lineart was a rather simple piece in my opinion, so i had no idea what took me so long... i mean, i see really AWESOME artworks which are so amazingly detailed taking only 60 hours of work.

anyhow,for those who wanna see it,here's the picture:

i didnt draw this, but just colored it.

original lineart can be found at this link.

larger version/view of this picture can be found here.

i think i totally screwed her hair and the background lah D:

anyways, to all those who want to, please critique. thanks a bunch!

random small (?) rant

2009-06-26T11:05:00.003+08:00

here i thought having an extended week of holiday meant a week's more time to hand in assignments.

turns out i was dead wrong.

i wants to kick myself.

there is just so much to do now!!! ):

i must chiong and resist the temptation to use the computer.

curse you Pet Society and onemanga >(

things i have to do (in this order)

utopian city drawing + thumbnails

Assignment 2

ICA3

i think we have to hand it those. not too sure about the rest of the stuff but here's other homework i have to do:

design folder ~~_{curse you fird!!!}~~

design journal _{i has to find moar design stuff to paste in it!!}

bugs bunny video - but the ~~fdsh~~ school is closed to all except those year 3s and those who HAVE to go back

and of course other stuff have to do:

rei's birthday card!

get new pants _{my original yunoki pants are too short ;(}

yunoki's shoes _{because cosplay is that detailed}

some make-up stuff for the cosplay which i calculate to amount to about $35 because discounts rock

YaYai's Ed hand!!!! (

and yes, with 10 things to do in less than 10 days, who wouldn't die?

again, i wanna shoot myself for procrastinating.

this idiot shall go do her work now.. byebye~

i am...

2009-06-24T22:35:00.004+08:00

pissed because of some thing that recently happened via msn chat.

gonna die soon because i hasnt done my assignments though school is extended for a week

i cant blame anybody.

its not like i can control some of the things that happen but still.

and it doesnt matter if you dont ask me before you decide things for yourself and tell others things that will lead to more things happening.

who cares what i think anyway,right?

i dont care if things dont go the way i wish. no one else bothers anyway.

man, i need to calm do. time to go to failblog to get some laughter.

updates again

2009-05-29T07:05:00.003+08:00

ahahah,after so long!! -gets shot-

Stacy's b'dae, 8th May

we sang her a birthday song and gave her her all-too-huggable teddy bear! uwahahahha xD

Esther's b'dae, 9th May

went to Tree Top Walk with teo and dor and yen and glenn. met dewi at macritchie, and spent like 1 hour waiting for kang ming and zi peng because kang ming got up late >_>

walked for hours!!!!!!!! so tiring,but super fun. km and zp managed to meet us on the Tree Top walk,km not wearing his shirt and all. zp is his usual noisy self, sprouting his nonsense all the time (but kang ming gets entertained)

went for dinner with them at J8... Esther paid for half the money when we ate at Pizza Hut. we had actually wanted to watch a movie at GV but in the end we went to Esther's house,intending to watch Bolt. zp km and me went to esther's while teo and dor only came after they bathed at home. glenn went to yen's to bathe too.

Esther's primary school mates came over,and we celebrated Esther's birthday with cake when yen and dor and glenn are finally here.

about 15 minutes or so into the movie,and dad chases me home with threats.

[rant]I DONT GET why they dont let me stay over at a GIRL's house. and i cant even stay till the end of the movie!

when i asked for explanations when i got home, i got NONE. why can they just friggin' EXPLAIN TO ME so i can understand? IT DOSENT HELP when they say, "You are a girl and 17 years old at that, we dont want you to do the wrong things; we worry about you!"

come on, i should be old enough to know that already.

and i can so take care of myself when i'm outside (minus the falls and injuries and all but still)

just saying that you worry is NOT ENOUGH AS EXPLANATION. i know you're worried,but FOR GOD'S SAKE HER PARENTS ARE HOME! how in the world is anything going to go wrong lah. you can allow them to stay here at MY place but i cant go the theirs? what reason is this >_>[/rant]

other stuff

class was fun. i love my classmates! it feels good to laugh everyday,even at stupid things xD

i just dont like drawing,but i cant improve without it D:

actually all classes are super useful. now i watch more tv and even the anime they are re-playing. its like i analyse the cuts between the scenes, the design, the plot, and everything i've learnt >_> (oh gawd i feel stupid,because i even analyse cut scenes in manga.)

will update about bernard's birthday and more stuff soon.

till then,have many nice days :D

redo!!!!!

2009-05-13T23:44:00.003+08:00

i hate redoing my assingments. i mean, i know i suck, but i did my best! *rantrantrantrant*

time is not helping me. as with my own self. *must resist temptation to watch anime and read manga!!!!*

i wanna cry.

i wanna quit.

but i cant let this get me down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zijing shall try her bestest...!!!

_{sorry for the english. i'm truly upset}

rant rant

2009-05-05T23:39:00.001+08:00

i just realised i have lots of things to do! *dies*

cards -- 5. 3 for birthdays (by friday for one) and a mothers' day and fathers' day one

drawing fundamentals -- sketchbook item sketch

assignment 1 extended -- 20 panels

~~ICA 1~~

actually its most troublesome for the cards and assignment 1! i want to do something nice and cool and everything,but i dont know if i have time!!! rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr and today's design assignment presentation was horrid! i got most of my research wrong T^T

again,goodbye my sleep!

unhealthy.

2009-05-04T00:37:00.002+08:00

unhealthy=sick.

unhealthy=not eating properly.

unhealthy=feeling stressed and having things to do but have no idea how to do them.

unhealthy= ......

i dont know anymore...!!! rawgh i'm confused and stressed and all. rant rant rant rant rant.

i really dont want to fail! but i dont think my brain is good enough that i can actually pass anything at all D;

zijing is turning more and more unhealthy... the food she has is crap.

on school days....

breakfast: bread/biscuits/eggs + milo

lunch: bread/fruit/biscuits/sushi/fries/potato salad + water/fruit juice (usually bread,fruit and water)

dinner: will sometimes have twice. the 1st is the in-school-and-half-hearted-dinner which is made to fill me a little.

the 2nd is at home with proper rice and veggies but most times this happens at 9pm which is a totally unhealthy time for dinner.

and then on weekends.... i'm stuffed with food by my folks. oh man. so darn unhealthy.

and my weight fluctuates during the week! i want it to go down and stay there! (and hopefully slim down. and in my definition slim down is NOT = to lose weight.)

rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr.

rant over. sorry you had to see this.but i'm really feeling very crappy now.. (stomachache T^T)

moar assignments!!! D;

2009-05-02T20:35:00.002+08:00

*foams*

me no like ze assignments!!! i think that's been my favourite sentence these days. i cant help it. i dont think anyone else does either. the only thing i'm happy about is that i get to draw though my drawing is still sucky.

and we have assignment 1 extended!!!!! *kills xxx-san*

and 3 birthdays coming up though i only have to get cards/presents for 2 of them (cos the last one is my bro and he doesnt need a present......i think.)

1st day..

2009-04-20T20:06:00.002+08:00

okay,so today was the first day of poly life.. not too bad really... just that the first assignment is kinda hard. oh man, who am i kidding? i'm typing so fast now i think i'm crazy.

we have to do 20 panels of drawings around the theme "Who am I?"
and each panel has each theme of its own. 17 are themed and 3 are free style.
i shall post about the questions after i've finished drawing everything and scanned everything into the computer so i can post my interpretations here togethter with the questions.

after briefing today we went straight to get our drawing fundamentals set. i wanted to kick myself for having bought an 8B pencil and a paintbrush just 2 days ago because the DRWFD set has it!!!!!! >(
went for lunch with most of my classmates. its still the girl-with-girl and boy-with-boy situation now... i hope we do get to get along well so we can at least enjoy meals together or something.
went to get animation paper and field chat afterward,then homed with Stacy and Charlotte. we went to get ourselves some food before going to the library to discuss some part of our homework, talked to some juniors of Charlotte,and ate the Pretz and Pocky which i had planned to eat for lunch tomorrow. oh well.
we went to get ourselves mounting boards from Popular bookstore afterward and then went home!

so now i am full,and properly bathed,and so i shall do my work ^^

i uploaded more stuff to my deviantart account,so you can go check them out if you'd like.

omg fail. OTL
because i was supposed to do (and finish) YaYi's Ed arm so i can show them to my class/course mates but i was practically slacking the past few days, reading manga, sketching, doing cards.

2009-04-14T18:43:00.002+08:00

yes,it will in 6 days. i bet we have tons of drawing to do when school starts! Dx

and i'm supposed to be sketching/drawing too! but i'm braindead for the moment and i'm reading bleach. i read about 300 chapters in 4 days,a feat which requires time (that's why i havent been drawing.... -bricked-)
okay,mostly i'm reading bleach because vivianne wants to cosplay and she wants to drag me with her! she wants to cosplay Cirrucci Thunderwitch and thinks i can do Szayel Aporro Granz or Sun-Sun (she says: "they are very zijing-ish-looking." me: O.o) and so,yeah. hopefully i can find a character that has some sort of relationship with Thunderwitch,but out of the 2 viv chose,i'd rather do Sun-Sun than Szayel...but she has no relation to her! OTL *sigh*

even tammy and kitmin have decided who they want to cosplay (they are going to scout around for materials for costumes tomorrow)
well i feel like a schmuck.

oh well. i hope my brain works again before school starts....

Freshmen Orientation

2009-04-04T12:27:00.004+08:00

it was FUNFUNFUN :D and i made many new friends! *cheers*

i wasn't really freaking out on the first day,since i got to go walk to school with one of my friends. met YiQin and LiangYi at school. they're of a different class though. D:
it helped that MingGuan and i were in the same class, or i'd be so quiet i'm probably not there. and i suck at remembering names,so by now i only have most of the names of my classmates that match their faces Dx

Tammy was the first one to talk to me (during ice-breakers),and i agree with KitMin that she looks like a compact doll! she's got lovely eyes~ the OGLs made everyone sit together and talk to each other,and as usual many people cant pronounce my name (not that i blame them. it is kinda hard to get the sound right.) and so my old nickname was up again (its amazing how everyone gives me the same nickname from my name. ahahaha)
the next peoples who talked to me were Jessica (during icebreakers too) and Vivianne (at lunch) i'd have to say that anime really brings people together. but i feel sad for ChunYou who's in the same class as YiQin and LiangYi because alot of his classmates laughed at him for liking Disney. i mean,what's wrong with Disney and liking it?! >(

second day was more games and some talks. we watched some animation clips made by our seniors and they're marvelous! i wish to make something as great as those some day! we had to work on Mr Man -fictional character- and create a story using only 10 panels, staring from when he opened his eyes and ending with him going back to the same place he started.the pencils scratched and scratched on the papers. and my stomach growled and growled though i had breakfast. i felt so embarassed! >///< (and now i fel stupid for saying 'shh!' and 'shutup' to my abdomen)

games were great. and Vivianne was on sugar high.. she asked the OGL to shoot her with water xD (because we didnt get to play any water games)

day three was plain drawing and crazing. i properly talked to Charlotte (not sec school one) and KitMin and the rest of my female classmates :DDD
many thanks to Danny and Ridzuan for coordinating our presentation piece!

i cant wait for tomorrow,when i'm gonna meet Esther and Clara Oh. i missed them like crazy.
i cant wait for monday,when my female classmates and i are going to get art materials at Art Friend. though i'd probably be broke from buying art materials all the time for 3 years,but oh well.
i cant wait for next saturday,when Odessey of the Mind competition starts. i hope my school's teams get good results. their props and costumes are awesome! (i've seen most of the props and helped make some; i partook in the making of one of the costumes too. it looks good to me even if its half-completed a that point in time (we still needed to add feathers to it but we didnt have those then)

things to do

more sketching

looking for part-time jobs..

2009-03-26T14:53:00.004+08:00

yeapps,ZJ is working hard to try to find/secure herself a part-time job so she will need to rely less on her parents for pocket money and can instead give some to them to help with the household expenses. as it is she has already spent lots of cash on some unnecessary stuffs (for which she chides herself) so she will need more to save too.

no seriously. i mean it. i need a part time job. anyone to recommend me some?
i mean,i've tried looking online and so far for 2 i've went to,they sell health products. (1st was the VentureEra and 2nd HerbaLife. and at the 2nd one,you have to buy the product to try it to get started. it costs $53.50 and they said if there are no results shown they will refund you. they did this weighing machine thing,which tells you your body fat/water %, amt of muscle, etc. but what it does is tell me things i already know -- that i have to drink more water, and that my body has some fats which i need to get rid of.)
and i dont want to work for flyer distribution (especially door-to-door) because i know my knee will definately complain. oh well. *looks for more*

anyways,more drawings.... since i had this stuck in my head for some time. i think i need more practice. and of course need to think of more ideas for clothes. anyhow,here's the pic:

this is a closeup of the picture.. i havent done the background and i was thinking of doing that in colorpencils.

yes,i'm not gonna bother about the fact that they say we have to draw in the sketchbook in pencil; and yes,i'm most probably gonna ink it but i will color the picture. i dont particularly like her hair and her hands,though. oh well... i hope to do well in the coloring though. wish me luck~

Popular bookfest @ EXPO

2009-03-24T16:23:00.003+08:00

I have recently secured myself a part-time job at the already-over Popular bookfest at EXPO. For 6 days we worked, most of us taking off days on different days while some worked for the whole span of 6 days.

The Popular bookfest was held from the 20th-22nd March 2009 at hall 3B. From the 18th-19th we worked hard putting up all the items for sale. I was in the Harris department,which sells english books for adults. I am elated to have made many friends during these 5 days of work,and I sincerely thank my CCA for making me a person who's more willing to speak up (and speak to random starngers) The one thing which I regret a lot will be that we did not take photographs together... But I shall name everyone whom I've made friends with.
From our department: Tzy Huoy, Bhai, Sze Qin, Hui Ying
Other departments: Megan, Elizabeth, Hannah, Gordon, Kai Yong, Jue Tong, Yi Ting, Li Ting, Jasmine, Carin (and more whose names I do not know)
I have also met a friendly man at the bookfest. His name is Mr Najman and he is an educator. As of now we communicate via email (:
Mr Najman was looking for books to give to his mother to give her something to draw since she loves drawing, as I have been told.

I have to apologise for not paying total attention at work for I was pouring over a lot of the books we have put up for sale >_<
and Bhai and I were coming up with an english name for me since i have long since wanted one since there were people who cannot pronounce it properly (I don't blame anyone; my name IS kinda hard to pronounce, and especially for my non-chinese friends.) and we took a book for babies' names and started talking about names (and having fun. and laughing alot. and probably gained the angry (?) stares of possibly many shoppers/customers)
but in the end it was decided she'd call me Jo. (so anyone who reads this and wants to call me by that name too,be my guest. though Esther says it sort-of fits and does not fit me,which i agree.)

It was tiring to be standing for 4 days straight, I have discovered, and it is now that I finally realise how tough my Mom's job must be. ZiJing shall work hard to do housework to relief her mother of some work! (and hopefully she will do the housework,even if a little.)

Putting up the books and taking them down was hard work,the former being more exhausting than the latter, but I really had fun working these few days. Furthermore, there was a Robinsons' sale and a food fare nearby,so lunch and dinner got by okay (:

As of today, i basically slept it through :D
I have put 2 apples and a pear to boil (it makes a nourishing dessert) and hopefully it comes ou okay!
And later, I am going for an interview for a work-from-job at some shophouse at Tan Quee Lan st., #02-03
Hopefully I wont get swindled or worse. Wish me luck (:

p/s: i would probably change my blogskin soon,since the one i have now seems to always have the problem of the pictures loosing bandwidth.

nope,i'm not updating,really.

its been about 3 weeks since i last touched this blog,and i apologise to those who've come here hoping for something new to read but have found nothing. i have so many things i want to talk about,but i doubt i can at the moment.

friday 13th i went out with YiLing (at last!) and she looks different from her photograph too! hahas. but we walked around (window) shopping and it was okay (:

saturday AMKsian Family Day. i didnt know it was area E the school was at,and Dad dropped me off at area B. i had to WALK 40 minutes from area B to E!!!! i saw Nat and TK and Dinie and a girl from their class whose name i forgot but i didnt walk with them.
sat under the tree with the 2/2 '06 peeps who were playing stress (QinJie and QianHui) and walked around looking for Michelle to pass her the OM drawings. talked to Ms Zaiton for awhile. 3/5 '09 gave us chocolate muffins to eat. ha-ha!
went to YJC afterward for their VALUES Day celebration. saw Jackie -Jacqueline- and Esther and their 6C ppls there. saw CP and YY and WenQi too! and i didnt know XiuWei was going,or i would have gone to YJ with him luhhs. i own self sit on the bus,so tired and silly (because i slept, and i played with the lime green balloon i got) met MX and Luominate and Sandy afterward while Esther went with her 6C ppls. walked arnd abit,then homed on the bus.

today...went for a job intro (?). they told us abt the job and showed us a demonstration of one of their products, the CAL water. the company is called Venture Era (which is MLM. MLM=multi level marketing),and we start as Sales Agents and slowly get promoted as we gain LV (Level Value)
our job is to just help to set up equipment for the more experienced ppls (managers,they call them) to explain to the various customers. i saw on the ad on gumtree,sg that it pays SGD$200-$300 per assignment,but i doubt that's really possible. mom scolded me for not finding that out. not that i care,as long as i get to earn like $1000 a month if i get to work alot.
oh well. i may have to find another job if this one doesnt work. training is FOC,btw.

and.........since i'm in the animation course,i'm supposed to be drawing like crazy. so here's a picture of what i've recently done:

heck,it looks so much better on paper,even though i went through the trouble of using photoshop to try and get the lines darker. and some lines still cant be seen! x[
any problems you see with the picture,like maybe the angle of her hand/leg is wrong,etc., feel free to tell me. thankies~~!!

---edit---
i'm so upset. my mom is insinuating all sorts of things.
her favourite phrase "一句话打翻一船人", i now throw back at her.

its so infuriating she's all about me getting a job quickly that earns some cash,but not wanting me to do jobs that are like sales. (and possibly commission-based.) and she immediately says that sales jobs like this is definately commission-based,blah blah blah.
we get to learn interpersonal skills like communication in sales! what the hell is wrong with that! and mom was all "you're still schooling,not working! you need money now, so you should find those pay-by-hour jobs!"
please,if jobs like that are so easy to find, i'd like to see you get one for me. and what the hell is with all the material stuff like money!!!!!

and she was speaking about the 'good points' of pay-by-hour jobs,such as knowing how much you'll earn so its worth the travelling,etc. she's totally omitting the skills!

mom: "its not worth the travelling! you might as well stay home!"
me: "yeah,and who was the one who wanted me to get a job quickly?"
mom: "travelling is expensive!"
me: "its my own money i'm using as travel fees"
mom: "yeah,but how much isit you put in the bank each year? do you know i top it up every year to like a hundred when you just give me $50?" that liar. i have my bank book so i know exactly how much is put in.
mom: "so $500 is my money blah blah" oh please. the total is only roughly $500. and whose fault is it that i dont get money from the government when i get good academic results at school?!
me: "but the last time i worked, i gave you $1000 and i told you to take whatever amount you wanted~!!"
mom: "its just heartless money. you dont intend to give me the money. how in the world would a person with the heart to give their parents money tell them to take whatever amount they want?!
me: "but i wouldnt know! i didnt know! i did tell you to take whatever amount you want and i meant it! its just money!" *in my mind: i only need just so little,its really material."
mom: "so that means you dont intend to give me the money! like i said,if you intended to give it to me, you would have been like, 'here's $200' or something like that!"

what the hell. what a whole lot of insinuations. i cant write this anymore. the more i write,the more i want to cry. i am SO going to start the card blogshop with Esther asap, go learn japanese (another skill which my mother claimed useless and which i should only learn when i need it,which i think is total crap because i feel i should get my skills ready so i get the chances to go do things) , and scrimp and save (and probably starve or just survive on bread and cheese......oh wait,cheese is expensive too. just bread,then.)

gawd,i hate my mother's insinuations.

taiwan trip tell-tales [part I]

2009-02-26T03:01:00.002+08:00

okay,so part 1 is gonna be crappeh. because i'm gonna just say that i had fun and that the weather is making my hair oily, my skin peel (yes,i did forget my moisturiser), and that i am now having dandruff because my scalp is not used to the weather.

and of course my decision now is that i want to type the whole post in chinese (possibly in old chinese text) and its translations (if i can) in english below. maybe i'll get too lazy along the way and spare you the horrors (?) or reading the tiny chinese words. hahaha. gosh. i'm getting so many typos from not using my computer for a week! lol!

i'm just crapping along for now.. lack of sleep... buh-bye.

gonna go to taiwan!!

2009-02-17T21:03:00.004+08:00

oh gosh,i cant wait! and they said we may be going to an onsen too!!! mom and i went out to buy swimsuits just now because they dont allow people to enter the onsen with just a towel on/naked like they do in japan. its not like i'd dare to go in naked anyways. swimsuits are expensive!!!!

the weather in taiwan now.... they said its about 18degrees Celcius,which is very cold in my opinion. no matter. i had borrowed a jacket from XiMei,who says it can be worn in 3degrees. the jacket is very thick. :D thanks,XiMei~

now i'm only worried about entertainment. i'd probably cry if my iPod goes out of batt. Esther suggested that i bring a sketchpad (which i will! many thanks to Esther too!)

my only regret now is that the next chapter of VK will be out on 24th Feb but i will only be back on the 25th!!!!!!! TT^TT

i should be packing my stuff now,because i have to go for an interview with Esther tomorrow.. i hope i'll have fun there! i wont be updating till i get back though,which means i'll probably update next thursday..

these 2 days,i've been facinated with the paint bucket tool of photoshop! i colored 2 pictured using it. hahaha.

early HAPPY BIRTHDAY to patsy!

valentines day xD

2009-02-14T17:54:00.003+08:00

actually,i'm not doing anything this year other than rotting at home. i had wanted to go out with my friends (meaning Esther and the group of ppl i always go out with) but it seems i didnt have the time.and neither do they.
JiaHao came over to use my lappie though,and she gave me Valentine's present! i didnt prepare any for her.. i feel horrid.
but to think i had been stressing about presents last year!! i had made some chocolate stuff which tasted okay-ish to me. i wonder if i will have to make some similar stuff again next year... i think i'll go with cookies and cupcakes if i have time to make any.

i had also wanted to update my blog but i hadnt. i had been busy for a few days but i had been more free the past few days. at any rate,i have finally caught up to the latest episode of KHR,but i am very remiss to have not caught up on Kuroshitsuji, Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae and Casshern Sins. maybe i'd get to watch them sometime....

yesterday,i had gone out with XinLi and JinXian to celebrate mine and JX's birthdays. he brought us to this vegetarian restaurant. i ordered potato baked rice. it was a dinner set and so i got soup and green tea as well. we went shopping afterward. XinLi bought mango shower gel from The Body Shop while i got animepedia from Kinokuniya. it cost me $19 and is in japanese! (on the cover it says 550yen,which amounts to about $9.0124SGD so i had wondered if i were scammed of $10,but inside the book were some good stuffs,like postcards and a kuroshitsuji placemat so i figured it is possibly okay. it was hard to part with the cash tho.)
i had fun reading the doujins inside though,and there are some marvellous doujins in the book! i'd love to scan them and post it here but i think they are copyrighted to their artists...

oh well,enough ranting for now...

AFA'08 and EOY'08

2009-02-02T10:35:00.005+08:00

long post again... readers beware.

AFA'08
pictures are copyright of their photographers. view AFA pics here and here.

AFA = Anime Festival Asia. it was held this year in Singapore,on the 22nd-23rd November'08. tickets for both days cost $8. (while for 1day it will cost $5)

i went with Eileen on the first day. we saw this girl with a real good J-Rock hair! we wanted to know if she was going for the AFA and it turned out she was. (we also wanted to ~~stalk~~ follow her to get a photograph of her but we didnt)

the queue was LONG. and long barely covers the extend of it. luckily,the cashiers worked real fast and we were able to get tickets quickly. Eileen was already gone taking photos of cosplayers. she got back in line on time to get her ticket though :D

there were many stalls/booths at the AFA. the 1st one we went to was booth that specifically puts up dolls for everyone to look and and photograph. there was another one called Manga Kissa, after its original stoe name. Manga Kissa is a manga cafe in Singapore. they went there to AFA to promote their services.
i loved this one which sells those mini items which look damn real. there were mini ice-cream stalls, mini kitchen, and mini food! it was so amazing i was gushing over it the whle time. but i only went to see most of the stalls with Esther on the 2nd day.

on the first day i was just walking about with Eileen,taking photos of cosplayers and all.. we found hikari (LiangYi) and miharu (HuiYing) and their friend QianYing at the Graffitti Wall. they (well at least hikari and qianying) were sort-of spamming the wall with their drawings.. qianying had her FMA gender bended Edward (Edwina) and Winry (Winter) in the drawings! there was 2 Gundam drawings on the wall and it looked very real! there was also a real spammer who drew longcat on all the pieces of paper at the graffitti wall.
there were also many drawings of artists above the graffitti walls for all to enjoy. (they are splendid pictures!!!)

there were glass shelves close to the graffitti walls,and on those were hundreds of figurines from anime and cartoons. there was Batman, Mickey, and Nanoha (and of course lots more!) [there was a girl figurine with a good (?) upskirt shot we could take pictures of.]

ChuangYi Publications also set up a booth to sell off manga (and now,i still have a lot to buy... Tsubasa 22-24, xxxHOLiC 12 & 13, Special A 11, Marchen Prince 4 & 5, Kuroshitsuji 3-5 so that is 11 books in all.)

there were a few people cosplaying as C.C. from Code Geass! and there was this guy who cosplayed as a character called Shiki from this yaoi game.. (or so Eileen says,and i believe her.)

on the stage were some performances by the cosplay groups.. the Code Geass one was of Lelouch trying to hide C.C.'s existance,with C.C. in an almost encounter with Suzaku. it was a hilarious skit. but skits were only performed on the first day as a small part of the events. the rest of the time was spent on screening several anime for the crowd to enjoy.

there was a domo-kun stall near the stage,selling various domo-kun items such as t-shirts. there were also some televisions near the stage,showing off and introducing various anime. there was: Casshern Sins, Skip Beat!, Code Geass, Toradora, Shakugan no Shana and D.Gray-man screened on the televisions.

Animax was also running about with cameras to take videos of cosplayers and parts of the event.
i think the most amazing thing at the event would be my witnessing of this wonderous item known as a tablet. one can draw and color on the tablet and it will show on the computer. oh,no,wait. the most amazing thing at the event is witnessing artists at work on the tablet. the draw and color so well!!! *envious*

and speaking of tablets, i believe i should buy one. just so i can practice drawing while waiting for anime to load and whatnot. and i think it will be a useful tool since i'm going to be studying animation soon. hopefully i will have mastered photoshop by then. (as of now, i can only crop some stuff, put in some effects and color a little on photoshop... i suck. i need to go look for tutorials.)

i cannot believe they actually put arcade stuff in the event,but they did. in the middle of the whole place were some arcade racing machines and people crowded around watching others race.

there were 2 evening performances,one on each day. the first night was by a man named Ichirou Mizuki, nicknamed Aniki by fans. apparently,he sang more than 1200 in his (roughly) 40 years of singing career!
i only recognized some of the songs he sang because they were from the Ultraman drama.. hahaha. Mizuki-san had this famous hand sign that was made up of his 2 thumbs and forefingers held above his head in a "v" sign. fans were singing along with him,and i joined in the fun. its almost too bad i had to leave early.

on the 2nd night was a performance by May'N. her costume was more flashy than Mizuki-san,who wore black suit-like clothes with a red coat.

EOY'08
pictures are copyright of their photographers. view EOY pics here and here.

EOY was fun ^^ we took a break from work just to go there.
the theme for EOY'08 was Retro Anime Fever,but not all cosplayers cosplayed in old anime. actually,Eileen and i were hoping (?!?!?!?) for someone to cosplay Astro Boy. we imagined an old-ish uncle dressed up in a red underwear there. (lol whut?!)
there was Super Mario though! so cute!

Don Kanonji was there too,and his infamous Bwuohaha pose. i admire the cosplayer for holding that pose for more than 5 minutes straight! (okay,so photographers kept rushing forward to take photos.
there was also a super cute pair of children who cosplayed as Kon and Neilel! <3 them so much~

i actually prefer the cosplay the EOY to AFA,because the AFA was less for cosplay.
plus,the box-head people are back again! (i just loove them~ xD)

performances on stage were cool! i liked the one the Kuroshitsuji cosplayers did ^^ it was a skit,and dance was involved. who knew Sebastian and Ciel could dance in hip-hop style lols!

looking at the pictures...... i realised i actually had missed many cosplayers! Dx
but there were many cool weapons at EOY.
i salute you,cosplayers and weapon-makers!
and also those people who had spent like $1500 on this doll outfit with the weapon. (we asked them the price. they had the costume imported from overseas!)

again with the overwhelming number of Code Geass cosplayers,but they look great! someone cosplayed as Suzaku's Lancelot,which i thought was real cool! but that person couldnt see very well,and thus had the Anya cosplayer help him/her around.

another cosplayer sewed her own Yuuko's costume using some expensive-looking patterened cloth. my respects to her as well!

there was a group of people who cosplayed Vampire Knight, and i liked this girl who cosplayed Kurenai Maria. she's s really beautiful person! (i meant the cosplayer)

ack... so many cosplayers i want to commend~ i think you can decide for yourself who looks best xD

reason for posting? since i got posted to a new school.

i kinda already knew what courses i would get into when i submitted them,considering thatthey will no longer take off points for CCA and school results (not that mine are good but still) and since this is a post about schools and blah,i shall put on my results and choices and all.

posting?
i got an SMS this morning (it was sent to me at 6:09am but i was asleep)
at any rate,i already knew where i was gonna be posted,so i picked my choices really carefully.
each was within my areas of interest so i shouldnt have any regrets whichever course i get put into....but i was upset and confused and i had tears in my eyes. i was at a loss as to whether to cry because i couldnt get a biomedical science course (and therefore lose my dream of becoming a forensics in the future) or because i get to learn animation (and thus can do more drawing)

and like i always do,i snack/eat alot when i'm upset so i chowed down 6 biscuits and 1 kuih bahulu. then i made myself 1 bowl of fried rice for lunch (though it was 9++am)
i actually feel utterly sinful because i've been practically snacking these few days. (yes,its CNY,but still)

time to come up with a good exercise regime and find out more about NYP~ ciao..

CNY days~

2009-01-28T20:25:00.002+08:00

its just 3 days into CNY and i'm damn bored. people have school,and work,and blah. i'm just staying home and using my computer. heck, i think i'll rant even if i had to go to school.
it just sucks that i have nothing much to do these few days until 31stJan (SOYA--Start of Year Again,a cosplay event) and i'll be bored after, till about 12thFeb when i have to prepare to go to taiwan and hopefully,celebrate my birthday with some friends before i go there. (19-25Feb)

PetSociety on facebook seems down for now.. i want the Dragon soft-toy and Black Billard Table that are only available for this week!

at any rate,i got to enjoy myself a little today because i went over to someone else's house and watched Animax there... me wants cable! (okay,so they didnt buy the channel and i had to watch the really small screen amongst the other 15,but still)

here's what i have watched on Animax today (in order of time):

Samurai X (loved the fighting scenes~)
Darker Than Black (they showed 2 eps of this!! and now i want more ^^)
Blood+ (i read the manga but now me wants the anime too~)
Fate/Stay Night
R.O.D. The TV (didnt get what was going on. just saw some kinds controlling some paper that can fly and attack and blah)
Spooky Kitaro (didnt get this either.)
Final Fantasy Unlimited (this one,i think maybe the name is wrong,bcos the show does NOT look anything like FF to me.)
Captain Tsubasa (i didnt watch much of this and changed the channel to Channel V (taiwan) and watched 敖犬生日气化. they made him wake up real early,took him out and "played" him,then took him to meet someone he admires -- some taiwanese model. they had candlelight dinner by the roadside! omgsh. it was fun and memorable for him though.)

i then watched National Geographic Wild about humpback whales and giant otters..

when -if- i get cable,i would buy National Geographic, Animax, channel V taiwan, channel V international,and Animal Planet. i wonder how much that will cost me... speaking of which,i saw EOY'08 on Animax!! the girl who cosplayed as Gwendolyn (from some game) got 2nd price for drawing and for cosplay! she's brilliant~
i'm going to watch KHR again (i didnt know i'm at season 3 now but yes i am) and if i finish i'm going to have to catch up on

Kuroshitsuji
Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
Casshern Sins

before actually moving on to other anime (like Blood+)

oh well, Ciao for now..

Chinese New Year!!

2009-01-26T18:56:00.002+08:00

first of all,a very Happy "niu" year to everyone (who's bothering to read my blog)!!

since its the CNY now, i think i should do some sort of intro for it for those who do not understand it? hahaha.

all info is (c) to this site

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese holidays. It is often called the Lunar New Year, especially by people in mainland China and Taiwan. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans, Mongolians, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Vietnamese, and formerly the Japanese before 1873. In Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries or regions with significant Han Chinese populations, Chinese New Year is also celebrated, and has, to varying degrees, become part of the traditional culture of these countries. In Canada, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Canada Post issues New Year's themed stamps in domestic and international rates.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi outside China. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.[2]

oh well.. read more on the site. i refuse to spam my own blog post with some stuff i want to write about that you can read online. (how contradictory,but i say whatever to my conflicting words.)

all i can say is that CNY is celebrated about the same way by Chinese all over the world. its really great to see that at least *some* of the Chinese tradition is left in all Chinese (at least those whom i know)

recently,i haven't been reading manga or watching anime due to my work and all... and i've been debating whether i should watch KHR -future- when i havent read the manga that far.
and i was thinking if i should read new manga and watch new (to me at least) anime when i still had a long waiting list. and since i havent been going on for about 2 weeks, i have 3 episodes of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, 2 episodes of Kuroshitsuji, and KHR just uploaded 2 episodes~ rarr....

i stayed awake for 24 hours straight! haha,that just feels like an achievement to me.
went to yijun's house and watched lots of Lollipop videos... i loved the NG part and the Sports Meet parts... and 敖犬 is damn cute!!! hahahaha~

i shall stop crapping for now.. got more CNY stuffs to do (though i've practically been slacking the whole day... i got home at 9am today and slept till 2pm... i still dont get my body's clock,which allows me to rest for about 5hours per time.)

Ciao~

recent happenings~

2009-01-24T12:33:00.003+08:00

ossu~!! xDDDD

i'm finally a free woman(?)!!!!
actually, i miss work. i like the aunty very much.. hahaha. she's very loud, but she's good.
i dont miss sticking boxes though... but carrying and moving the cans and boxes, i'd do. heh.

work
since last firday,we've been trying to fix hampers whilst running productions. all because of the New Moon Premium Abalone Broth. apparently, there was some virus or something in that batch, and cans had foul smells when opened (expiry date was about september 2011). we were affected since all our Abalone Broth had that expiry date. they had to be replaced with Royal Thai Shark Fin and Premium Shark Fin Soup (Concentrated),which cost more than the Abalone Broth. (and thus,technically,we're making a loss instead since we cannot change the prices of the hampers. and now i'm worried about my pay because they may cut it. but i guess if that were so, it's really a no-choice situation) for such a thing to happen during CNY.... *sigh*
at least we learnt how to fix hampers.

decoration for CNY @ FTs
yeapps... monday and tuesday went to decorate the FTs so i had to get off early from work. turns out that both days i reach at 7++ 8pm then there was nobody there but me TT^TT and i told them i would be late. oh well.. the ranting shall stop here.

monday,Xin came with her mom.. they got me a prata with fillings!! thankies!! loved that dinner (?!) Xin kept taking doing the chihuahua dance (she was damn high) and took some photos of me. there was one she took that had a (fake) leaf on my hair. see the picture here.

tues went to tong de. jian wei and i wore shirts that are in the same shade of green and we got teased. rarr. like we dont already get teased since 3 years ago, before i found out something... anyways, i apologised to someone on that day,about a question that someone had asked some time ago.. (it reminds me of the game in japan,whereby you had 4 seconds to say "please" or "i'm sorry" when someone con--- nevermind)
Keslyn drew a cow (ox?) on the blackboard while i drew in the grasses below the cow, and the "fu" word on the cow... i'll see if i can get a picture when i visit again.

Dewi's birthday
i worked late on wednesday so i could get off early thursday to belated-ly celebrate Dewi's birthday. went to east coast park under the directions of the bus captain and Dewi. walked a long way to where they were,since i didnt go into the park the same direction they did...

Glenn saw me walking,and called out my name. he rode slowly so we went back to where Esther and Dewi were seated together. Glenn then started complaining about how the 2 girls rented the bike for 2 hours but only rode for a half hour. Dewi was dying to open her present. (thanks for waiting for me to open it!) she then saw Eeyore and was squealing over it. Esther was right that Dewi would be an "Eeyore-person". Dewi claimed to not let it go and was hugging it all the time. haha.

Esther then decided she wanted to climb one of the trees and they came back laughing. i was watching them from a distance (who else would watch our stuff for us?) Glenn: "Esther couldn't get pass the 2nd branch."
we then realised it was over the time they had to retun the bikes and so Glenn and i rode them back to the store while Esther and Dewi looked after our stuff.. Glenn and I had to walk back (it was a long walk,which is probably why Esther and Dewi didnt want to ride the bikes bakc to the store. according to Glenn, they only rented the bikes because they wanted to ride to 7Eleven.. ahaha)

on the way back, Glenn and i went to the beach for a walk.. i was facinated by the shells and so i collected a bunch of them.. i took 6 back with me though. Glenn was trying to make trails of his footprints in the sand.
Esther went to fly a kite she's made but it didnt manage to fly,so she lay on the sand and Glenn joined her afterward.
i ate more chips and nuts while sitting on the benches,and Dewi and i painted some shells with Esther's clear nail polish.

we then decided that it was late and time to go home.. we had a hard time deciding where to eat though. so we just walked to the bus stop and were going to take bus 13 when Glenn spotted bus 55,which goes directly to Bishan. they wanted to eat there and catch a movie (not Dewi; she was tired from waking up early to collect her passport) we just fell asleep on the bus. the ride took about an hour. Dewi decided to change buses and go home instead of having dinner with us. we went to the food court upstairs. Glenn went to get chicken rice, i looked after the bags and Esther went to see what movies there were. she wanted to watch Bride Wars but it wasnt showing at GV J8, and so i got my wish to watch InkHeart,which opens on that day. tickets were more expensive after 8pm though.

InkHeart was a great movie!!!!!!!!! i loved the guy who acted as Farin,the thief from Arabian Nights. he's cute!!!!! and when he ties up his hair at the last part of the movie... *squeals* (-gets shot-) the actress for Maggie was great too! and the grandmother was hilarious. "Do you have a plan? No! Just rent a bike,grab a map,and go....." and she was ranting all the way to the castle of Capricorn, the villian of the story. hahaha!

reached home at 12++am and then i had to work again friday morning... tired,but worthwhile!!

friday, 23rd Jan'09
last day at work!!! actually,i had thought that i will have to work today but it seemed i didnt.. the teacher sms-ed me at 9plus pm..

i saw 4 guys with beautiful eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay,sorry about that. it was just that i like beautiful and cute things, so if you are cute/pretty and you see a girl with wavy brown black hair staring at you in awe,that's probably me.

i had left work early (yet again) because i was tired,and i wanted to use the computer. i step into the house and it appeared i was just in time for dinner. (dad had just managed to finish washing the crockery when he heard the keys turn)
but my brother's door was locked!!!!!! keys dont work 'cause his lock is spoilt.. i couldn't use the internet for one night!!! *cries* (and to think i got home early especially to watch anime... oh,speaking of which.... i'd better finish this post quickly so i can watch them.. wahahha)

cosplay?
nothing so far. still waiting for them to call me about my costume,but,nothing...........
i havent touched the flute in 2 weeks. guess i'll never even learn to play the scale.. oh well..

sidenote
actually,i was going to blog about CNY and my results (more) and some other stuff,but anime comes first for now!!! so sorry! will blog about them tomorrow if i can!!

goodbye for now!!!

results?

2009-01-15T23:52:00.002+08:00

blogger has finally decided to work with me after so many (it seems like many to me,at least) days..

monday,i had recieved my results for my O Levels. turns out that my score was close to what my dream predicted. my L1R5 socre was right smack in the middle of 11 and 20. (its a pathetic 15 points)
i had worked hard for my chemistry,but i still got a C5 grade;whilst i was going to give up on my physics paper (i did study for it though,but not as hard as i did for my chemistry) and i got a B3. and i'd thought i'd screwed my english paper... i would NEVER have guessed that i'd get an A2 grade for it. oh well. everything is just like the teachers have said. mostly nothing is within your grasp in O's. as least i'd done my best,and i'll be beginning my new life in a Polytechnic soon. hopefully,i'll get into the first choice i'd put in my application (S98, Biomedical Science-Singapore Polytechnic)

went to Esther's after school to watch movies. bought Jolly Shandy and chips at Shop N Save before that. on the way to her house, Esther told us about how she and Glenn were not allowed in to watch Quarantine at the theatres.. it was kinda hilarious,really. Esther looks younger than 16 (which is a good thing in my opinion,other than having to get your I.D. checked once in awhile) so they didnt allow the pair of them in and insisted on checking their I.D.s but they allowed them both in afterward when they went in by themselves.

anyways,i we watched Journey to the centre of the Earth (in 3D at first) and then The Mummy-Tomb of the Dragon King. Clara kept laughing at the part in the first movie when the boy,Sean,was turning on the magnetic rocks. haha.

oh well.. gotta go sleep now.. will crap more soon..

Ciao~

stressed

2009-01-12T10:44:00.002+08:00

omgsh. i'm gonna take my o's results later!! i'm so excited and distressed!!! i saw 2 numbers in my dreams. (mind you,i take my dreams real because a lot of them happen,like de javu.) the numbers i saw were 20 and 11,in that order. hopefully my score falls beyond that (meaning that i hope to get a single digit score though that's nigh impossible)

anyways,i want to wish all the best of luck! (its not like its possible for anyone but me read this before the results come out but whatever!)

new year = new stuff

2009-01-08T13:35:00.004+08:00

yeapps, just as the title states. haha.

i'm not going to work today since i'm feeling kinda sick... and i'm on recovery-from-chalet mode (aka sleep-a-lot)

long post again........

resolutions

this is like a i-must-type-this-or-else post. i mean,people rarely come to visit this blog anyway,so i dunno if there's a point in typing this. but i'm still gonna type it here anyways.

be a more graceful person. okay,not graceful as in the dance-like-a-ballerina kind. what i meant was to be more forgiving of others. i find myself to be ~~kind of~~ a short-tempered person,so i want to change that;and hopefully i can.
be a less whiny person. so as to cut down on irritating people. i know when i am irritating people sometimes. haha.
think before i act/blabber. i mean,i do think,just that my reaction for crap is so much faster than my reaction to pain. so i should act slower? haha.
finish watching these series-es!!!

katekyo hitman reborn
KO One
X-Family
my date with a vampire II and III
第八号当铺

that's all for the year. the 2 character changes are not going to be easy,but i'll try my best!

2/5 '06 chalet~!!!

wooh~ me love this part the most!!

chalet date: 5th-7th Jan

venue: Aloha Loyang Pasir Ris,Bungalow 5 - Egret (the same place for the guides chalet in 2006)

monday i went to work and went for the bbq at chalet. met cyy and kkj at the taxi stand while waiting for the shuttle bus.

reached chalet,but they were already half finished with the food,so i helped barbeque the food. it was then 8pm and most of us wanted to watch Little Nyonya (final episodes) and the bbq pit was left alone... (aww..poor thing. heh ><) but there were a few of us who went to the pit once in awhile while the commercials were shown... and we made toast bread on the pit!! hehe. thanks for the idea,kagami~ (btw,weizheng loves the bread. haha)

learnt how to play the card game "99"

and played ban-luck again. nat won our money!! nathaniel,how could you? (actually you can. haha. i just wanted to crap.)

went to the pool to swim with koonie. well,she swam while i just floated about in the water because i cant swim. kagami and luominate and yiting and yingying was with us but they were standing by the pool. heh.

we had to go back to the chalet to bathe because it was about 12am.

we play awhile in the chalet,playing 99 again. i then went to watch Bleach movie 2 on Joled's laptop while the rest of them played some game about a polar bear and a hunter. the movie about Hitsugaya Toushirou (gyah~) and his zanpakutou Hyourinmaru. Hyourinmaru has 2 wielders,and so Hitsugaya-taichou has to fight with his good (and supposedly dead) friend (who got revived in Hueco Mundo)

junyan and his friend got back with some booze and i tried it. and seriously, Carlsberg tastes better than Tiger Beer (and smells less strongly)

i thought the movie was kinda boring. i watched it halfway and went to the room which i placed my bag and found the girls playing some game. apparently,you give yourself a name and then open cards in turn. if someone opens a card and the 2 of you have the same card,the first to shout the other party's name wins and the loser takes all the opened cards. the winner is the person who clears all his/her cards first.

YiQing- Kinokuniya (as to why,i have no idea,but hers was the easiest.)
YiTing-Ponyo,Ponyo,Ponyo, onna no ko (it has a tune!)
LuoMin-United Colors of Benaton (spelling?)
YingYing-Carlsberg probably the best beer in the world (because i was drinking and she didnt have a name)

i stayed till i finished my drink.and watching them play was one of the funniest things i've ever seen. yy was blur. people start to say her name and her reaction was just...nothing. like she didnt know she was called. yiting's name was hard to finish and so kiatjiun decided that those who were playing just had to sing the 3 ponyo part. and luominate's benaton part was hard to pronounce. it sounds like bend-a-ton and paddington. hahaha. kagami and i were just watching the 4 of them play.

i went out to finish the rest of the movie after finishing my drink though. and i must say, alcohol is really all those bad things they put on tv. you get thirsty,you pee a lot,you lose sense of things. so really. DONT GO DRINK DRIVING.

okay,the reason i said all that was because they're true. it was just 1 can of booze,and i got kinda dizzy + light-headed. but i got better while watching the other half of the bleach movie. hehe.

went near the beach to talk with part of the class.. (luomin,kagami,koonie,kj,yingying,yiting,amanda,susan,justine,amelia, nat,tk,junyan,linny)

was kinda fun. they had a truth or dare session and junyan was made to dance on the table. it was kinda funny,because he didnt want to do it at first. amanda played the song (i cant remember the name) while he just stood on the desk for a long time. they played the song again and he sang to the song while dancing. omgsh.

anyways,after that session,tk came back with breakfast (it was about 4am) from mac's and the rest of them wanted breakfast. and so we went back to the chalet after they ordered nat and amelia to get them food.

i learnt to play mahjong afterwards while they waited for their breakfast. its quite easy since we are only playing the easy game where you just have to get 4 sets of 3 and 1 pair of tiles to win. i won 5 rounds! hahaha. after watching so much of mahjong played on tv,i didnt realise it was this easy to play as long as you play the simple game.

i got addicted to drinking and mahjong......i think. =w=;;

oh well. we played till the sun rose,and it was time for breakfast! after that went to rent bikes. we rode in the whole park for about 1 hour++ and i had an accident. i was stupid. yy and kagami travel in the middle of the path and i was going quite fast so i swerved to the left. and they swerved to the left at the same time (they were in front of me and i didnt ring the bell) and so i just blanked out and swerved to the roadside where there are many trees. i braked when i saw a root protudint out of the ground,but since i was going fast the back of the bike just got jerked up and threw me off it. i got scratches on my knee,and since it had earlier injuries/problems i had trouble walking for the whole day. kagami and yy came back to help me,and called the other girls too. my bike was screwed though the chain was fixed back. they were just discussing how we should get back cos there were some double bikes. i think i got on their nerves cos koonie said, "give us a chance to help you!" the guys came but none of them knew how to fix the bike and so they called junyan over. it appeared the brake got stuck and the wheel couldnt turn properly but it was mostly fixed afterward.

i'm sorry~~ but thanks for helping me,everyone!

(and tanning oil doesnt work well. at least the one i borrowed from koonie. maybe it was because i need to constantly apply it and i didnt. i got a darker skin color for about 2 hours and then it faded. then again,i get back to my 'normal' skin color within 2-3 days everytime i get a tan,which really sucks because i want a tanned skin)

dealing with muscle aches and butt pains now. the bicycle seat was horrid.

anyways,stayed at the chalet to play more mahjong. samuel cooked us the kimchi flavored instant noodles. it tastes great! next time must buy some home.. hahaha.

played at the beach afterward. i built a castle-like structure by myself xDD

we then saw a really small dog named Salmon and played with it. i wonder what breed it is~

we saw some kites later on and some of them went to buy kites. i played with samuel's and let the whole reel of string run to see how high the kite will go. it could probably reach birds. heh.

anyways,i played with it,and the wind got too strong and tugged the whole reel off my hand. the reel ended up in a tall tree and joled and i spent about an hour trying to get it down. it flew off after we got help from the storekeeper. they lent us a ladder and a hook thing but the kite got away.. sory,sam.

went to play at the parapara machine at the arcade afterward. first time playing and i got past 4 stages! hahaha. i think there's really such a thing called beginners' luck after the mahjong and parapara thing. i 'died' at the song "one night in arabia" so i will not try that again. but the parapara machine was quite ex! $1 per game,which has 5 rounds if you pass them. went back to the chalet for pizza dinner. well,they ate and i got myself a peanut butter sandwich. then they told me they got a vegetarian pizza. please. Canadian 2-for-1 (or any others for that matter) does not offer vegetarian ones though they say so. i spent more time trying to pick out the onion slices than eating the pizza (which i think i wasnt even supposed to eat but i did or it'll be wasting money)

went over to e!hub to play at the arcade with the class,and played till quite late,about 12am.

2/3 '06 came over to borrow bikes at about 3am (i had managed to sleep for about 2 hours cos the air conditioning was too cold) went to the dining room for awhile and slept under the desk in the living room at about 5am. the floor was dirty,but i didnt mind. i was warm and that was enough for me.

had to check out early on wednesday morning. ate the watermelon with the class and helped to clean up. watched ellen on tv. its such good entertainment. i hope i get to watch it again soon,like next week,because they are going to invite stephenie meyer! wooh~

waited for the shutle service to reach the chalet. then i saw (when i was on the bus) a Tangs plastic bag. luckily i just blabbered about whose it was. otherwise Barrie would have lost his stuff. on the train,joled was all: "after this not friends anymore... getting results on monday." it was sad to think about it like this... but at the class blog koonie said want to have another chalet december this year,so maybe can meet again? i hope we can get it!

also chatted with joled about anime..mostly KHR.. i'm at episode 42 now.. cant wait to see when Tsuna fights Xanxus!

and that was the end of the chalet!!!

cosplay updates

all the while i was waiting for the flute to arrive (in clara's hands) and i finally got to play it yesterday! i went to clara's after work (i went to work from the chalet) and got dinner at her house. it was harder and easier than i expected. easier because i got the sound quite okay. it sounds clear which is a god thing. but it was harder because i had problem controling the airflow and i suck with the fingering. i did manage to play the notes do,re, and mi at the end of the 'lesson' but i couldnt play fa. it sounded like mi. maybe i was pressing the wrong keys. i'll have to practice! gambatte~

new stuff?

yeah,i learnt and tried a lot of things just at the beginning of the year,which i think is really cool! i hope this year will be a good one.

the new stuff:

play Atlantica Online (i just got my character sincei have no time to play at the moment)

play on the parapara machine
sleeping under the desk (on a dirty floor)

that's all for now~

4508 chalet~

2008-12-31T22:35:00.007+08:00

120th post for the last day of the december of the year 2008......going to 2009 maybe when i finish posting~

4508 chalet!!!!!!!!!!

credits to BaoLin and LiYu for posting the following photos and tagging me~

went to chalet with my beloved class on sunday 28th december.

in the morning morning went to yen's mom's working place to supposedly help cook the curry and bee hoon,but in the end didnt manage to help out at all cos we were apparently in the way of the cooking. hahaha.

esther came with us as well,met us at the tanjong pagar mrt station.

since we were not doing anything,we watched this dvd at the place. it has a very cute title,named "When the Dog falls in Love with the Cat" (i did a literal translation)

the animals can talk! and the cat character is uber cute. her owner had said when he awoke one day, "that stupid dog is so noisy!!! how can i sleep?!?!" and the cat's voice: "how can i sleep when you're louder than the dog?" hahaha

anyways,esther went home later to get her bag packed,and the elderly people came to the place (its some sort of a club place where the elderly meet new people and interact with them)

yen performed magic tricks for me and (some of) them. her mom actually gave her money to learn magic. my mom? (i dont even want to talk about this)

anyways,we went to Giant at Vivocity later on Esther's dad's cab,to help carry some of the stuff over to Costa Sands Sentosa.

esther and yen were mad at xw for something. its a long story. sort-of.

we checked in with esther's dad's help,and brought all the foods and beverages to the respective rooms with several trips.

yen and teo and i later laid on the bed in the room to be used by the girls while waiting for the whole group of people to arrive.

esther still mad at xw and almost lot her temper. and her losing her temper is not a good sight.

anyways,after explaining the situation (after lots of ranting by her and yen on the taxi) to marcus,he brought xw over to apologise. (the girls were still kinda angry and xw knelt on the floor to apologise. omg)

their anger subsided afterward,and some of our classmates came over later.

went over to the beach with esther,yen,and audrey to play.

i made a sandcastle-like structure. (i intended to build a real castle-look-a-like structure but i failed and only managed to make a squarish box thing)

saw liyu and vivien and weilin at the beach later. liyu was sitting under the shade while the other 2 were playing.

the pathway to the resort from the back door..

night view by the pool~

we practically played cards the whole of the day/night,but first,the lot of us chatted in the boys' room... that's me trying to avoid the camera.
posing for the camera~ (most of us,that is)
playing cards... ban-luck!!!!

we were betting like 10 cents,5 cents.... hahaha. shaojie super lucky! everytime he banker he wins TT^TT so we lost alot.... but marcus also very lucky. bet 50cents also will win most of the time. for me,i won -5cents in the end. negative! haha

anyways,picture time~ (and seriously,i hate my hair. i swear i'm going to find some way to tame that tangled chaos)

we watched TV programmes later. its a horror show,about whether there are ghosts and stuff. pretty scary stuff to watch at night,but its okay when you watch it with friends.
shao jie was pretending it was a theatre,asking us to turn off our phones and cameras. ha-ha.

and shaojie has a SEXY pose when he plays cards. just look at his legs on the wall. (oh wait,i think this was taked on the second night. bah. who cares)
anyways,a lot of us did not sleep for the first night,and we went for a night-walk around Sentosa island at 1++ in the morning,to keep in line with watching the horror show. (?)
since there were 17 of us who were going (i think qinjie would have gone if he did not need to go back to school to train his juniors at 9am everyday) so vivien managed to get her volleyball friends to come with us,making a total of 20. we walked around looking for dark paths to travel,but there were none.
the whole group of us then went to the merlion up a zig-zag structure. it was tiring,but worth it. the lights went off suddenly and it was damn cool. the merlion has a light in its nostril (as viewed from below)

we just kept walking,looking for more dark paths,but in the end we just walked down the path toward Palawan beach (speaking of which,they are having the countdown party there now)
yen and esther and kenneth went off on their own,and the rest of us went over to 7eleven to get ourselves some food and drinks before heading back to the resort. the part which went back played cards,while the rest who stayed outside chatted.

vivien went to drink tiget beer with her volleyball friends.
she came back drunk,after drinking 2 cans of beer.
it was amusing to see her walking about in a 'blur' mode...never seen a sight like this. i have to admit with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles that its amusing to see the things people do when they are drunk. haha.

and i blabbered in japanese 'cause i was kinda high (<--lack of sleep). i said "asa gohan wa taberu",which is along the lines of "i wanna eat breakfast" while i was playing cards with my friends. i cooked (more like used hot water and put everything in a bowl and covering the whole thing with a plate,but that's not my point)
it startled me that liyu understood my sentence,because i had totally forgotten that she goes for japanese lessons. silly me.

a group of us went to watch the sunrise (shaojie kept saying sunset. haha) here is esther,me,shaojie and xiuwei (from front)
another pic. from front: weilin,esther,me,shaojie,xiuwei
i fell asleep on the beach waiting for the sun to rise,which never seemed to because the sun was obscured by the clouds.
a group of us played volleyball on the beach where there was a court.
the group: weilin,jeanette,liyu,me. hongye,shaojie,marcus,xiuwei,junhao

it was horrible when it started raining because we had to take shelter. marcus was all "protect sunglass! protect sunglass!" ahaha.
shaojie haad said: the only way to stop him from doing this is to get him to buy a pair which costs $320,then he will think that,aiyo,this pair $180 very cheap!"

in the afternoon was play-time by/in the sea. esther and i managed to drag samuel into the seaour room is this messy~

bbq time~ starting fire in progress...

(food came first at 2++ but bbq was at 5++ and there was some problem with the delivery)

the chefs,qinjie,desiree,and zijing.. hehehe ^^

chatting with mr soh after the bbq was a fun event. he told us of his army life,and his recent trip with some colleagues to taiwan. we then celebrated marcus' birthday with some water poured on him,and we went out to play with sparklers... (mr soh went home since it was 12++am)

we played the sparklers on the beach and some of us took photographs. on our way there... the way we held the sparklers was incredulous. it was like a whole group of teenagers on a funeral procession but with smiles on their faces.

at any rate,we were 'caught' for playing at the beach by some patrollers. they had asked "what are y'all doing here?" and we had answered that we had rented the chalet nearby and thus they let us off. huu~ lucky!!

went back to the chalet afterward. some of them played ball outside the resort while some of us went back. elaine,esther,shuyi,dunya and i had a mini challenge in the room because we were so bored but were unable to fall asleep. hahah. the challenge was to hold up our legs whilst lying down for the longest time possible. the person who put his/hers down first forfeits,and we had to put our legs down when someone entered the room...... and so we held our position for about 7 minutes,with elaine and dunya shouting "help" half the time so someone WOULD enter and the challenge will stops. haha. liyu and weilin and vivien came in later at 1.31am and the challenge thus ended with a very thankful dunya and elaine. the 3 girls had questioned our actions. (who wouldn't?!)

slept on the floor in the cold room and got sores all over because the floor was hard and my position was horrible~ in the morning went to BK (burger king) at Dohby Gaut for breakfast. homed and slept after walking into comics connection (after so long!!! i swear i havent bought any manga since prelims which was like 5 months ago. and when i get to taiwan,i SWEAR i WILL step into any bookstore anytime i get so i can buy manga i want. they sell taiwan brands here in SG by about $2 more! rarr. shipping!!! i'd really rather go taiwan buy)

oh well. gotta go now. still have to work though its new year's day.

will update about AFA and EOY and Christmas and my new year Resolutions and whatever after that. hahaha. jaa~

cosplay and stuffs~

2008-12-22T01:18:00.004+08:00

today before work went to check out cosplay stuffs with clara.

got contacts at Spectacle Hut at AMKHub,brown ones. then went to check out shoes.
clara bought bandages for binding... andi have to get mine soon.
she paid the deposit for my lenses too cos i'm totally broke.. have to get $33 by 24Dec08 so as to pay for the lenses. rarr. and the funny thing is that i alr broke le lah.

$150-$60(lend bro)-$56(class chalet)-$15(return eli)-$14(return clara)-$5(top up ezlink)=$0

great and ridiculous equation. totally fabulous. i'm broke even before i get my money.. *sigh~*

anyways,we went to Far East afterward,actually wanted to go to Haru,but at first cant find it. afterwards found it le den realised opens at 1pm TT^TT and thus we had to kill an hour. we looked for orange shirt and shoes for clara's kazuki cosplay and then sat down at the eateries area. clara played a Naruto game on her PSP while i wrote down the list of manga we wanted to sell (to gain cash for cosplay)
the we realised... orange vneck and shoes are hard to find!! it was afterward (on our way 'home' from work) when eli suggested to flip clara's class tee over to wear it that clara and i felt like idiots.

went to Haru afterwards at 1pm,got some help on costume and wigs...and met this helpful shop assistant whose username is noriko on sgclub (she said her username has many underscores and i managed to find it there. haha)anyways,eli and i went over to clara's after work to check out some wig and cosplay/costumes stuff and i just reached home about an hour ago at about 12.30am.. so tired now... so i gotta sleep...

edit: at amk hub... clara and eli and i were at the NTUC to see if they had orange stuffs.. and we saw some hampers.. we started comparing them to the ones we were wrapping....LOUDLY (and unconsciously) and seriously,the ones our company has are SO MUCH PRETTIER. we didnt believe it when our boss said it but its true. haha

ciao~

edit:
people,please make sure you sleep for 5 to 9 hours per day. if you sleep less than 5 hours or more than 9 hours a day,you get an increased risk of getting a heart attack. its on the news! beware of how long you sleep!

Flight of the Hamsters!!!!

2008-12-19T16:55:00.003+08:00

okay. kinda sadistic game. if this were real,all hamsters would have died.

2008-12-18T23:33:00.002+08:00

but i shall let my system try to get it out...oh well...

cosplay.... discussing the stuffs with clara and her junior and eli this sat at clara's house..... maybe have to go buy some stuffs... and do the measurements..... but give measurement have to pay half the $$ cos its like make the costume for you when they take the measurement.... and i'm broke alr.. though getting $150 from my job.... but have to lend my bro $60 and the class chalet $56.... and have to give eli $15 so i will only have $19 left...... rarr.....

i wonder who i can borrow $$ from if i have to cosplay..... sigh~

nothing to do,or.....?

okay,so i'm typing this because i'm plain bored.

yesterday,i was on the train with hikari-chan and we were coming up with numbers for different characters (mostly bec. of the KHR numberings the characters have,like Tsuna is 27 and things like that) anyways,we found out that Byakuya (from BLEACH) is 1008... largest number.. hahaha..

and i've been thinking about super-bleaching my hair for god-knows-what reasons... maybe i just wanted to try it for fun.... or maybe cosplay... idk..............
but maybe i should buy/try a wig to see how i will look like in strawberry-white-blonde hair before i do anything rash..... because i know bleaching my hair will kill it... not that those that have already grown out are not dead cells.....

oh wait. i do have things to do,actually... i have to.....

clean my room. (which i have not done... ~~shh... dont tell on me.~~)
make a chainsaw using cardboard... (on the off-chance that i'd like to cosplay as Griel Sutcliffe) and
catch up on anime/manga/drama(i have the hefty list,which i shall not post here)

so that leaves me.......ALOT of things to do... well! crap!
its because i'm crapping that i'm typing this here. hahaha.oh well..

back to playing Pet Society and finishing episode31 of My Date With A Vampire before cleaning my room and coming up with the plans for making the chainsaw.... (i researched,and i have the idea in my mind... but i'd need to make a paper -or something close- model or at least a personal blueprint before working on cardboard... oh well... wish me luck..)

lalala....

2008-12-15T22:27:00.002+08:00

okies,so i went to the EOY cosfest just saturday...but cant blog abt it yet cos i want piccies!! oh well... *waits*

last week,did 'new job'. i also made 2 new friends! yay~ hahha.

the first was a girl by the name of XinYi (spelling?) from ZhongHua Sec.. she's a student councillor,and from my friend Joei (whom i got to know last year at the EOY cosfest'07 because she is Eli's friend,and i only just found out Joei's from ZhongHua last saturday because we only talked last sat,and none at all last year) i heard she's real smart! XinYi told me and Clara (because we went to work early and the place was still locked. Clara started talking to her,and it was then that we knew she watches anime too!) that she got DPA (Direct Polytechnic Admission) with her school results.. which goes to prove it. plus the fact the Joei told me XinYi always gets the top 3 positions in exams.. wow (:
plus,her ringtone is Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi!! at first i was thinking whose ringtone it was,and it turned out to be hers!! wooh~!! hahha

the next is a kinda shy boy named DaoYang.. he is softspoken,but he and i got put to the job of making/wrapping the western style hampers,so we had to sort-of talk. the next day,when Liang Gui and i were on the bus talking about this lamp she and the art club made for their teacher Ms Ng, DaoLiang came to sit behind us. he is,apparently,into art. he collects the tubes and cardboard from the workplace... we talked about anime (yes,turns out he watches them too. LiangGui went gaga when she found out,especially when he said he watches KHR)
he talks to us more often now.. saying Hi and Bye to us... (alot,and mostly that and nothing else)

anyways,the new job is fun. the plastic we used was like cling wrap... DaoLiang and i almost got fired immediately from our new task because we were 1)too slow; 2)left fingerprints on the cling wrap like material and 3)we did a poor job.
okay,mostly i think its 2 that got me fired from it. i was back to good ol' sticking-boxes-and-cans-to-baskets,though this is a different basket.

got cut at this new job too.. and even more than the last one.. i must be clumsy,unlucky,or both. sigh~
and the paint thingy from the rattan baskets somehow stains my hands.. my fingers now have this yellow-brown-orange tinge on them.. weird... oh well.... oh well........ i hate the cuts. especially since the plasters dont stick due to my stupid sweaty palms/soles. rarr.

was going to do the quizes from XinLi's blog but they wont let me copy and i'm lazy to type. so now i'll go check out deviantART.. bye~

flute~

2008-12-10T00:59:00.006+08:00

since i'm going to try playing the flute, i looked some information on taking care of it and playing it. i feel so stressed now! i dont want to accidentally damaga the flute clara's borrowing for me.
xiao marc says its impossible to learn how to play the flute in a month. of course i know that. its impossible to learn any instrument in a month!

rarr. i guess for the cosplay i'll just have to let clara play her trumpet on her own while i sit and watch,and possibly, *try* to play a freaking simple tune.

here's a video on the flute.

work and more work...

2008-12-07T21:16:00.003+08:00

its been more than a week since i started working last thursday.

i'm currently working at Paya Ubi Industrial Park, at Eunos. its a job to wrap hampers. very tiring,really. but its fun to get to know new people.

the boss is my junior's dad, Mr See. he's very concerned for his workers,and very amiable.

the teacher Ms Anna is very pro at wrapping hampers (actually,so is the boss) and she wraps one real fast!

there is an aunty there,i think she's the boss' elder sister. she's very loud,and didnt give me a very good first impresion,but once we got to know her she's actually very friendly too!

last thursday,i started putting the decorations on the hampers. i continued on firday for half a day on friday and got on to sticking boxes (of biscuits/crackers,chocolate,kuih,mushrooms,cognac and more) and cans of drinks/pineapple onto baskets. i got pro at it after friday,and i was able to stick on all the foodstuffs in 7 minutes,plus sticking the double-sided tape on all the boxes. hehehe.

i continued to stick on boxes and cans until this friday (which was 2 days ago) and i had been changed to learn how to wrap on the plastic for the hamper. i really sucked at first,but my best timing is also 7 minutes. haha.

i swear, mostly everything in the place hates me.

i get stabbed by tapee dispensers and bled countless times;the tape refuses to work with me,the edges of boxes will somehow hit me and not scar me but hurt me. rarr. and i'll somehow always knock off things,drop things,etc. i'm glad the scissorses dont have any grudge against me for the moment.

worse is,my fingers and nails kinda suffered quite abit. the skin on my hand peeled off on some parts,and the tape dispensers kept chafing my fingernails and distorted them. now my nails are uneven. i'm glad yenni did not come to work for this job because she absolutely treasures her nails. then again,i doubt anyone else i know is as clumsy as i am.

but the best part is that i have many friends working there!

Clara came over this thursday. on the way home on the mrt she tried to get us to cosplay with her. she wants to cosplay Kazuki Hihara from La Corda d'Oro,a trumpeter. very fitting,as clara is a trumpeter in the school.

in the end i was the only one who agreed. i have two criteria:

the character has to play the flute (aka a flautist. <---according to clara the correct spelling and pronounciation is 'flautist and not 'flutist')
the character has to have some sort of relationship with Kazuki.

okay,so the first one is a whim of mine,but when i wikipedia-ed it,the only (main) character playing the flute is a good friend of Kazuki! i immediately decided on him,Azumu Yunoki.

i was high was 3 days (since thursday till now. haha!)

some info on Azuma Yunoki...

Clara offered to help me borrow a flute,and says she'll give me a crash course as long as i know how to make a sound on the flute. she initially suggested that i get xiao marc to help me,but i dont know him that well. i mean,we havent even talked before. but i'm just terrified i cant play well,if i can play,that is. on the mrt,clara suggested i try blowing into a plastic bottle. i blew and there was a note. clara says i'll do okay for the flute. i want to believe her,but i know i have some problems with coordination.

anyways,i want to take this chance to thanks clara for all the help!!

(costume,custom-made,$128. lenses,buying online,about $15-$20. flute,borrowing,but only have silver while the one in the anime is gold. shoes and wig,pending and looking around)

and today afternoon, Kagami came over! i havent seen my beautiful best friend for almost 3 weeks and i totally missed her. i was all (in chinese) "Ah! you're here too!! i missed you!!!" and i was hugging her for about 2 minutes. yep,i'm this crazy! hahaha.

i'm still waiting for eli to send me the AFA phots so i can blog about it...

ELI! I WANT THOSE AFA'08 PHOTS! haha. jaa,minna~

proper update.

2008-11-30T20:58:00.015+08:00

hahaha! finally a proper update after so long,because i'm here to revive my blog after being away from it for a month (i'm so sorry to all those who come here to read my posts. and many thanks for coming!)

this will be a super super long post because i'm writing down everything i can remember for the past 4 weeks (but i'll have you know my memory is not good. haha) anyways,read this post at your own expense..

Farewell Assembly,10th October 2008

credits: ChuPing, Desiree, HweeYing, Koonling for the pictures

we played at Bishan Park 1 early in the morning.. plus picnic.. my class was so crazy. look at this:

xiuwei on this round thing which can turn. he almost fell off. and the thing is quite dirty,has lots of sand on it. my classmates and i took turns on it,lying down or having about 8 people sitting on the edges. we fell,of course,but it was fun. a bunch of caucasian kids saw us having fun so we had to let them play (okay,so they were staring us down,but we are good teenagers. besides,sharing is a virtue.)

everyone then played on the spiderweb thingy. we tried to climb on it,like i think 20 or so people? i was at the middle (i have a fear of heights so i daren't climb higher) anyways,we were so terrified all our weight would spoil the spiderweb structure but we still played on it anyways.. another picture taking craze~

climbing in process.....

onlookers... i'm already on the structure. see the person on the right with this white thing oh the head? that's me with a towel on my head because its almost afternoon and the weather is swealtering.

posing~

all of us walked back to school and on the whiteboard is ths picture..

we took back all the extra food from the park and Ms Zaiton treated us to a donut each. its delicious~ we all too pictures with many people,and passed cards and gifts from teachers and students alike..

at the hall.... i dont remember the exact order of events,but there were performances and a speech by our beloved ~~long winded~~ principal, Mr Tan Chee Siong... our emcees were Jun Xing and Felicia. everyone walked the red carpet to their seats.

here's our principal..

dance by some group (i forgot their name) who won AMKsian's Got Talent (school event)

Most Courteous Pupil Award goes to our beloved class Chairperson (we gave him a standing ovation)

even our teachers sang for us. its a song called 'My Wish',very touching. Ms Zaiton,our form teacher,made a video and showed it to us on thursday,the day before the farewell assembly,using the same song. and she sang this song on stage the loudest,and had the best voice. who knew our class form can sing so well? i know i didnt.

ChuPing and Vivien went on stage to present Ms Zaiton with flowers.

performance by devolution. they're great!!

3 of my good friends, luomin,koonling and hweeying (luominate,koonie/asuka,kagami) sang the song "Say Goodbye" by S Club 7. we sang the school song loudest that day. all classes also had their class videos shown (each class was supposed to make a 5minute long video using class photos and the lot)

all classes were ushered down the red carpet out of the hall. teachers line both sides of the carpet to hug us. there were some students presenting gifts of appreciation,and of course there were many tears...

again,more with the photo-taking after the assembly..

tissue have to take photo with tissue (in case you dont know,'tissue paper' has been my nickname for almost 10 years because my name sounds like it) here's me with a piece of tissue paper,and my very good friend hwee ying (aka kagami)

yep,we're red-nosed because of the crying.

OMers from 2006 + 2007 (plus yong bang,the only boy on this photo)

left to right: raihana,koonling,justine,Mr Siva,yong bang,me,amelia

there is a buffet for everyone at the foyer,and my ex-class (at least most of the people from it) took a photo.

many of us went to eat at Junction 8. here's the list from kagami's blog (because i dont remember who went,but i added some she missed):

me, koonling, luomin, raihana, yingying, yiting, meixin,
yiqing, sandy, susan, xinyi, amanda, justine, amelia, yingxin,
calvin, tingkang,dinie, nathaniel, binmao (linhao), joled, junyan, barrie, hweeying, samuel, weizheng

they ate and i watched. haha.

@ yoshinoya~

after dinner, luomin went to play with yingying.. poor dear..

we went upstairs to the playground to play while deciding where to go next.. many of them went home but many went to barrie's house in the end. joled was having fun playing with some kids at the playground (that's what you get from having 4 younger siblings at home?)

kagami and i were singing anime theme songs because we were so bored waiting for a decision to be made.

here's a picture of us. from left: yiqing,kagami,me,asuka,luominate,samuel at Bishan mrt~^ i think koonling took this picture while we were talking to luominate.. my pose is so weird. heh.

in the mrt,LinHao is playing~koonling with her phone again.. this is us talking on the mrt.

^ my aunty pose~!! koonie!!! dont take pictures of me like that can! hahaha. but that's what's good about candid shots.

^ kagami (black shirt,amiling) and teddy (yiting,green uniform with weird expression) happened to look into koonie's direction...

we took a bus after alighting from the mrt.. there were quite a number of us,and thus we kinda dominamted the top of the double decker bus. hehe.

these 3 girls decided to pose for koonie.

from left: kagami,yiqing,luominate

at barrie's house.. omgsh. his house is huge,but we didnt go in. we played at a playground close to his house before heading to the pool. i was the one crazy enough to jump into the pool and play in it (though i know i cannot swim AT ALL) my friends could just stare wide-eyed at me (yes,i know i'm crazy to jump into a swimming pool at about 9pm.i was pending for so long whether to jump in,and in the end after walking in the shallow part of the pool,i did a standing board jump into the pool. crazy,huh?)

my clothes were all wet,and i changed just right at the pool near some bushes (there were some people there,but i dont think they noticed. oh god. i hope i wasnt noticed) LinHao saw my changed clothes and had this shocked expression on his face. he was all "how did you managed to get changed?" because i refused to step into the gym, because

i have no idea where it is though they said its just nearby (these facilities are so easily assessble by the rich.);
it will be air-conditioned and thus cold (DUH!) and i didnt want to step into a clod place with wet clothes on;
i didnt want to wet the gym floor
people will stare if a half-drowned looking person suddenly steps into a gym

anyways,i just told him i was used to changing in front of people -girls- because we always have changing parades during training and camp. and i added that people do wear bikinis (not that i do,or own a set) the group of us gossipped at another playground (i think we need a life. or at least a place to go. so we dont get stuck at playgrounds anymore. that's the 3rd for the day!) went home with yiqing,koonie,and dinie on a cab. dinie wanted to pay for us (good man) but we declined and gave him some cash before we got off. reached home at about 11pm and bathed.

this is one of the most memorable (though i do get the order of event wrong) days in my life and i will forever treasure my secondary school mates. it turns out i didnt dislike some of them as much as i'd thought... good learning for me,too.

MeiYen's birthday, 5th November 2008

after our higher chinese paper,yenni treated us (kangming,zipeng,esther,dorothy,clara and myself) to lunch. we went to Buddy Hoagies for lunch. Yen and Cla got spaghetti, teo and dor fish baked rice, and km and zp chicken baked rice. those come with ice-lemon tea, sudent prices and benefits.. being a student is this good sometimes. yenni got me a mango shake,and i'm more in love with mango after that,not that i liked it alot before. hehe.

we went to watch Koizora at esther's house. but km and zp.. super noisy! making noises,laughing and giggling,giving spoilers, and touching each other. (esther,dor,yen and i dont call them the gay couple for nothing) esther,who rarely gets mad,almost shouted at them. after Koizora was Bring It On,a movie about cheerleading. it was a great movie too! lots of wonderous chorheography~

actually km is scared of dogs.. we had fun playing with him,getting him to let kristy (esther's dog) touch him. after km and zp went home,esther went with yen and i to go make yen's contacts.....but the shop was closed on wednesdays.. dor went home to bath. we went to get yen's cake too.. went to yen's house for awhile when teo went to some primary school for some talk. then headed back to esther's house. about 9++,zp came over from his tuition. we ate cake and watch the news....because it was election in America... and...just to mention. Obama got the vote and is American President now,the first black president of the United States (nope,i'm not discriminating. i already knew he'd win the elections)

13th nov

wooh~ finally last paper.. bio mcq.. went to help Mrs Yeo prepare for AMKsian Showcase... use LEGO to build robots.. me,teo,dor,yen,CP,zong you,chun you,qin jie,xiuwei,ziqin and some lower sec boys helped out at the Science Hub.. we the girls did part of a robot.. then realised we did the wrong model,and had to take apart everything again.. sigh~ and we also realised 1 robot 2 ppl do at once is best. haha

some of us played in the UV light room of the science hub for awhile. i didnt knew it existed until today... i feel like such a schmuck. hahas. oh well. better late than never. anyways,it was fun inside. so many toys to play with,and everyone's buttons looked whiter (and part blue) under the UV light.

chuping and the boys started playing because we were all waiting for the robots to be programmed. CP made this extendable arm thing with claws from the extra robot parts and played with it.. he put the arm thing on his stomach and kept extending and retracting it. chunyou and i were like "eh,chuping,looks wrong leh" esther laughed but dorothy was just clueless down there. actually one has to see the scene of CP playing to know what i mean. hahaha. they also tried to play bowling with robot/lego parts and plastic balls. really cannot understand boys sometimes...

at about 12pm,Dewi came over with cookies her mom baked for Hari Raya (these are the extras). the cookies are GREAT! we (dewi,me,teo) were going to watch Madagascar 2 together with Glenn. after we finished building the robots,we played with some of them.. the boys went home le,so we helped to pack up. we played with the robots. there was one that will move and respond to sound. then meiyen tried to talk to it to go to her.. it retreated!! for many times! and came to me!! wahahaha. robbie (we named it so) loves me and hates yen.. (poor yen..)

Madagascar 2 was as funny as the first movie! loved it!!! watched at Causeway Point after lunch with Glenn,teo,and dewi and AMK KFC.

17th nov

went to cut my hair at kimage (read kay-image) with yen,and walked around with her. i got myself a new pair of going-out slippers because the pair i had worn (and had been with me for 3 or 4 years) had unluckily spoiled. it was raining and i was walking around almost barefooted (i wore my left shoe and held the right one) but there happened to be a shop nearby which is having a year-end sale. i got my new shoes for $7.

i dont like my hair because the student (kimage is a place where people learn to be professional hiardressers) didnt do my hair nicely. okay,cant blame him. because my hair is curly by nature,and its the first time he's cutting the hairstyle i want,so nevermind.

18th nov

went for job interview...to wrap hampers for CNY (chinese new year). thanks,esther,for going with me even though you have 2 interviews yourself. we got hopelessly lost at Paya Ubi Industrial Park. luckily i have the boss' number and could call for directions.. hahaha. went to yen's house afterward to help her get her nails done for Grad Night (ala prom) she wanted French Manicure and taught me how to do it,and asked me to stick these fake jewels on her nails for the glitter effect (the theme for prom was 'glamourous') reached home late and got scolded by mom. said i was being a busybody. oh well.

19th nov

ooh~ prom night!!! i didnt go and went shopping instead... heard that Vivien and YuJun are prom Queen and King! gratz!!! kaiyuan was so proud of vivien and went about saying "hey,my girlfriend prom queen leh!" hahaha.

we (teo,dor and i) went with yen to get her her belated b-day present in the morning at Admiralty. i went to yen's house to help her to make a card for our form teacher Ms Zaiton and with her nails (again,because some jewels were dropping). i watched this cantonese show at her home (its a dvd) with her parents while she was doing some stuff by herself like bathing and changing. i rushed home,bathed,and went out again.

went walking with dor,teo,and the 'gay couple' (kangming and zipeng) at bugis.we played house the whole night. km was mummy and zp was daddy. the 2 of them had some 'fight' scenes and we the girls sided with 'mummy'. km will be like "i want to divorce you!" and zp would say "fine,its just a divorce! i wont give you any alimony!" and gawd,we're crossing the road and they're being all 'lovey-dovey". those two... really cant stand these 2 sometimes... *sigh*

we got into this shopping centre,and teo and i got watches. 1 was $10 and 2 was $19.. but when we went to some market-ish place nearby,they are selling a watch i wanted at $5 instead of the $10 i saw at the shop in the shopping center. i felt so cheated... but i saw the watch was in a poor condition... we walked the whole market-ish place to look at clothes and other items. there was this sale at the center of the place,and we managed to get the guys to leave before the could see the lingerie that was just beside them. (i think they're still clueless why we made them go until now)

we then went to eat at KFC. actually,the guys ate while the girls rested and talked. esther got this cute formal shirt at the market-ish place and was making me model ><>

20th nov

my girls are having camp,so i went over as early as i could. reached school at 10.30am and they were having bunk inspection. i see some of them... really 'mou ngan tai' (its cantonese. i dunno how to translate this phrase to english) cant complain,though,because they are still learning..

had barbeque in the school at about 5 in the evening.. the potatoes taste great! and so do the bananas. thanks siqi,for the wonderful recipes. the only setback was that some girls from the red cross youth society came over and sort of demanded Samantha to help them roast marshmellows. sam was pissed (and so are we) the real story is different from my mouth,though,so i shall not repeat it here. sad/angry things should be left behind.

melanie had a bout of 'fever' and started speaking japanese words and phrases. then we started singing the Vampire Knight GUILTY opening song, rinne~rondo~ (tv version). hahah. i went home ant about 9pm because dad was bugging me. again,i was sad to leave,but i had to.

21st nov

went back to school to help my juniors with some preparations for the AMKsian Showcase (aka open house) and to play captain's ball with my classmates. so fun... but i had to leave early to bring Eileen,Dewi,DanHui and 3 of her friends to te place i went for interview because they're interviewing too and i got lost tuesday looking for the place. haha.

22nd nov

ANIME FESTIVAL ASIA~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay haha. AMKsian showcase too. i'll update on the AFA'08 once i get pictures. as for school open house.. quite fun.. i walked around,looked at my girls for abit,and went to help out at the science department,before 'fleeing' to Suntec City convention hall for AFA.

we made this bridge in the Guides room at school.. it looks cool! i'll have to get a picture of it someday.. hahah.

more updates coming up soon~ these few days i've been working,so kinda tired.. and i'm re-watching My Date With A Vampire series,so i slept late too.. goodnight (actually,its morning,1.11am,but still) and goodbye for now..

....

2008-11-01T12:00:00.002+08:00

its the first of november today... first of all,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,XIAODAN!

okay,random-ness over.. i just want to express my joy for the news that my father is okay. though he has told me (after i'd asked) that his tumor thing was nothing serious. actually,according to him,it was nothing at all. "just like a pimple," he had said.
well,pimples dont hurt,in any case.
oh well. i shan't complain. at least he's better. even though his wound is still no healed and its still leaking (forgive my lack of vocabulary) blood plasma.. i hope it heals soon...

insane things and anime dreams...

2008-10-29T21:56:00.003+08:00

i just realised the title kinda rhymes. ah,heck.

today,i'm just going to rant.
yes,i know i promised to post about the farewell assembly. (this is more like a self-promise.. haha)
and yes,i know i'm supposed to go study. (i have my Emath02 tomorrow and i havent been practicing)

i'm had these weird dreams about characters from anime/manga.
heck,i dont even know what's wrong with me.

the first one i had was 2 mornings ago. and it most probably happened because A) i was reading VK even after 2am and B) my dad was hammering on his door's lock because he had accidentally locked himself outta his room (which was about 4 hours after i fell asleep at about 7+ or 8+ in the morn)
i cant believe i dreamt about an old man who claims to be aidou's grandfather looking for aidou. for one,he looked ridiculously like ichiou. and secondly,aidou was living in those sort of terrace houses and there are,amazingly,nobody looking when aidou-grandpa was wrestling with the lock on aidou-senpai's door. apparently he was making a LOT of noise (which could be my subconcious mind working with the noise my dad was making). i was some random girl (or was i yuuki? idk. cant remember) who just went up to him and asked him what was wrong. we (me and grandpa) walked off a little a ways and he told me he did something unforgivable and wanted aidou-senpai to forgive him. (imagine talking to a -an?- ichiou with sad eyes/expression)
idk what happened next because i was jolted awake by the stupid door knob.

second one.... just happened about 1 hour ago.. i was resting (?) from after the exam at home and i dreamt of haruhi (that ouran high girl) going home to visit her dad,and some random guy who was the principal of ouran high (idk if the real principal is a guy) spoke to haruhi, talking about 'a girl visiting a girl'.
and before that i dreamt of myself and my mother playing with soft toys,each toy having its own push-trolley and my bear was 3x its original size.

i'm telling you. i have zero idea what's going on.
and what's with all the 'family' stuff anyways?!

apparently,according to dreammoods.com.....
Cartoon Character
To see a specific cartoon character in your dream, consider the qualities and traits you associate with that particular character and how those traits come into play in some aspect of your waking life or situation. For example, to see Bugs Bunny in your dream may suggest your slyness and sneakiness. To see the Roadrunner may refer to something you are running from and not confronting.
and to see aidou-senpai,haruhi,and ichiou would mean.......???

Family
To see your own family in high spirits in your dream, symbolizes harmony and happiness. To see them gloomy, foretells of disappointment and sadness.
but i wasnt seeing my family,other than the part about me and mom having fun playing.
so mom and i are happy? what about dad and my brother?

Grandparents
To see your grandparents in your dream, symbolizes love, security, love, wisdom and protection.
To dream that you are searching for your grandparents, signifies your search for love and protection. You may be regressing to childhood needs.
okay.....but i wasnt even dreaming of MY own grandparents.

i think i'm digressing. the first one seems more.... idk.. correct? but i have no idea how these characters even relate to myself. bah. like i said,ranting. i'm going off now,so i'll probably talk later. bye~

Probably give most of it to my parents because they deserve it,and of course donate some,and spend some on the things i want/need. haha.

8) If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
I have no idea. And I dont have anyone I like at the moment,so,moot.

9) List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.
XiaoDan!!!!!
1. fun conversationist. (is there even such a word? anyway,she's great to talk with.) always many things to talk about,but essentially books.
2. excellent teacher (?!)
3. egg + xD (LOL! Even I know I'm not making proper sense to myself.)

10) What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
~NON-smoker
~NON-alcoholic (maybe social drinking allowed? hmm...)
~NON-womanizer (or i'll first smack you and divorce you and bawl my eyes out after)
~NO ganster (wannabe) behaviour
~Lanky person and must be at least 9cm taller than me
~Prefably a vegetarian
~Good sense of humor (?)
~Must be able to go crazy/crap with me,so I will have someone to share PLUS I wont be feeling silly/awkward about it..so probably someone who's into all the anime/manga/books/movie/music stuff that I am into...(HAHA!LOL!)

So there. I MIGHT have some ridiculous wants,but this IS a WISH-list afterall. heh.

12) What is your ambition?
Counsellor? Lawyer? I have no idea.

13) If you have faults, would you rather the people around you point out to you or would you rather they keep quiet?
Point them out. I'll admit I have been asking people what my faults are. But better to tell my mistakes to me in my face than gossip to others about them behind my back.

People who don't ever complain. (I know I complain too much. Sorry to all those I've ever complained to.)

15) Are you a shopaholic or not?
Nope. And no sense of fashion. (Yes,THAT'S why people call me an aunty what with all my hand-me-downs.) Shopping is SO much less boring with friends,but with my parents... UHM.........

16) If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?
*looks up* I think I have already mentioned it? Hm.. I'd like to complain less,and of course be a better listener.
....and Esther says I blame myself too much. So maybe I'd have to change that? hmm~

Eat or cook up something random

-I can't stand fingerprints on shiny surfaces =X (same as XiaoDan...but IDK if she will wipe them away. Mostly I will,if nobody's watching. heh.)
-As mentioned above,I talk to myself. All -okay,half. okay! maybe more than half! but still- the time.
-I...talk to my soft toys..? (and fingers,and reflection,and toes,and toenails,and thighs,and........)
-Oh,the concert thing too. I jump about in my room ike crazy.
-I will wrap the books precious to me. The rest may just rot.
-i shake off excess water/moisture from fruits before eating them

19) How do you think the person who tagged you can change to be a better person ?
She's good. Maybe sleep less? IDK. (Sorry,XD!)

20) What would you be doing if you were not taking this quiz?
(I'm always listening to music so that doesn't count.)
Playing on Facebook.
Or maybe reading random manga.
Or maybe chat/roleplay on CR.

rain again

2008-09-26T16:28:00.001+08:00

hot weather. rain. hot again. rain again.
never changing...

today on the bus on the way to school... at ajc,the drain was flooded with murky.
by drain,i meant those huge ones with the green metal barriers on both sides, with the staircases and large canals... the drain was more than half full!

sk was saying those are rapids,not a drain.
i said "lets go swimming!"
and another girl said, "let's go swim. no,lets go surfing!"
really. i swear there are waves in the drain. we can hear the water crashing against the drain even thought the pitter-patter on the bus's window panes were freakishly loud.

bugs

2008-09-24T22:34:00.002+08:00

yes,i hate bugs.
more like terrified of them. just minutes ago,a beetle was standing (climbing,clutching,whatever.) on my fringe (which is why i saw it).

of course,my immediate reaction was to scream and i tried to shake it off. it probably has hooks at the base of its feet.... it wont come off. and so i pulled it off my hair using my blanket nad the bug stuck onto it. i shook the bug off afterward,and now its imprisoned under the cover of the Ferrero Roche chocolate box.

note to self: close the frickin' window at night.

Jigoku Shoujo Season 3!!

2008-09-24T18:48:00.004+08:00

just when i thought Season 2 was over!!

i saw this news on a forum about the 3rd season of Jogoku Shoujo!!

such a nice anime!! yay!

i wonder if Ai will continue to be the Jigoku Shoujo,or if the season will tell about the lives of Wanyuudo, Ren, and Hone-onna after their Mistress died in season...

hopefully Ai still survives... (though its highly doubted)

i cant wait for the anime though... hope it gets released soon!!

check this site for some info:

bleah...

2008-09-21T21:08:00.003+08:00

my prelims results are horrible so i wont say more about them in case i get all emo again.

o levels must get L1R5 <15>tiring fun.
mr ong was keep joking with us about our 'celebrity teacher' mdm yau... (because she acted as 'crystal' in the tv series Beach Ball Babes. she looks great! too bad i missed it.. haha~)
and we had 'hell training' with him... but the training session was fun...
now i have something to modify my to-be exercise regime to...
we were supposed to have free games after the training but mr ong made us do frisbee...
he claims: "i'm not lying to you! i just changed my mind.."
not lying at all. right.
but frisbee session was fun. my group (me,junhao,hongye,dor,teo,yen,clara) played qinjie's team (qinjie,cp,jieying,joy,jertaime) after some practice time.
clara 'turned traitor' and joined their group because of the uneven groupings.. we were supposed to follow the rules but in the end everybody just dropped the frisbee so many times that mr ong said there was no need to change possession to the other team anymore.
next week we shall play better so we can enjoy the game more... good luck,everyone!!

thursday was super hilarious.. we keep playing games in class..
bio lesson mrs veda not here,we played pictionary.
chinese class laoda not here we played 2 different action games.
the first one was that we have to do a certain 5 times and not get caught by our fellow friends..
the second one was to have a paper stuck on our foreheads and other people have trick us into doing the actions written on those papers.
we win when we manage to do the action on the paper for 5times (game#1) and if we dont do the action on our paper and is the 'last one alive' (game#2)
so much fun watching and playing.. then its like got 7 ppl play and the rest of the class come watch their 'showdown'... even got friends from other classes who come to watch...
so fun~!!

saturday....went walk walk at tampines mall and century square with xinli.. she bought a manga by the name os Rust Blaster... its by Toboso Yana, and is about some vampires saving the world... (1book fin.)
also saw Brisingr at Times bookstore.. i so wish to read it but have to concentrate on the o's!!

just now.. went for religious class... finally got to know the 2 'new teens' better... weiliang and jiaming are very friendly people... and i totally admired jiaming and his words.. they were inspiring,coming from a 13year-old.. (respect!! *glittery eyed*)
i didnt even have similar thoughts when i was his age...
i'd bet he'll be a great person in the religion in the years to come...

oh well.. that's all for now... gotta go back to my homework.. they're calling out to me...

cry~

2008-09-14T19:26:00.003+08:00

i went to onemanga.com and i saw this...

Firstly a note about Vampire Knight since many people are asking us about it, I thought I'd just mention it here. The next chapter of Vampire (43) does not get published until September 24th. There was no chapter for it published in August and so if you were waiting for it, you'll have to wait a bit longer.

why!! *cry cry cry* to think i was waiting so long,so enthusiatically for it!!

now i shall do sit in a corner and trace circles with my fingers...

Live Action (100th post 'celebration' theme)

2008-09-13T21:16:00.008+08:00

wahaha! 100th post dedicated to this kind of thing..

okay...today i am going to talk about Live Action drama series..

i personally feel that these Live Action versions of the anime/manga are actually quite good,what with the special effects and all.

also,they are quite close to the anime/manga versions from which they are made...

i watched 2 shows today,slacking again.. i'll probably go watch some other one soon,but first let me talk about this...

Shinigami no Ballad. Momo the Girl God of Death

Animal familiar Daniel was assigned to the most unusual of the Grim Reapers, Momo. Instead of the traditional black robe of the grim reapers, Momo wears all white. Instead of being cold and dispassionate towards her charges, she cries for their plight. These are stories of those who they are charged to reap.

(P/S: Daniel is acted by a girl,and is super cute xD)

Prince of Tennis (テニスの王子様)

Ryoma Echizen, a tennis prodigy, attends Seishun Academy Middle School (Seishun Gakuen), or Seigaku in short, a school famous for its strong tennis club and talented players. Ryoma quickly defeats numerous upperclassmen shortly after entrance to secure himself a spot on the regulars team.

Prince of Tennis posters.....

this guy here is Atobe... in the anime/manga his hair is gray/sliver.... nice pose.. xD

this one here, is Kunimitsu Tezuka,the Team Captain of Seigaku Team.. at first glance he looks like the anime/manga version of this character.. now still quite alike.. hahaha.. another 'in action' pose~!! nice~Team Seigaku shot#1
Team Seigaku Shot#2
Team Seigaku shot#3 (looks most formal to me)

Team Seigaku and Team Hyotei and Nanjiro (man in black japanese clothing)

well,i had fun watching these 2 shows.. too bad the series are not completed.. maybe i should go watch Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon later.. hahahaha..

oh,wait. last of all,since tomorrow's the big day....

HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL~!!! XD

after prelims....

2008-09-11T21:33:00.002+08:00

today is such a boring day.. i practically just sat in front of my lappie the whole day...

i watched 7 episodes of Jigoku Shoujo Live Action.. have to wait till episode 12 comes out... i hope it does soon...
and then i watched L: change the WorLd
watch and cry at the same time.. hahaha.. i agree with the good guys and the bad guys lor.. thought of eradicating ppl to 'save the earth' but of course it wrong because people cry when their loved ones die,so its wrong to kill people.

so,to quote L...
"No matter how gifted,you alone cannot save the world."
" 'Near' is a good name.... To save anyone,you have to be near them...."

dreaming once again...

2008-09-09T20:26:00.005+08:00

in sequence of my dream....

Zombie
To dream that you are a zombie, denotes that you are physically and/or emotionally detached from people and situations that are currently surrounding you. You are out of touch.

Forest
To dream that you are strolling through a forest, indicates that your hardships will pay off and lead to success and prosperity.
To dream that you are lost in a dense forest, signifies that you are searching through your unconscious for a better.
Woods
To see the woods in your dream, represents life, fertility, rejuvenation, and spring. Alternatively, it symbolizes the unknown and unconscious. You may be discovering your instinctual nature.
To see dried up, dying woods in your dream, suggests that there is a situation in your life that has not yet been resolved. You may also be overwhelmed with a problem or issue.
Swamp
To see a swamp in your dream, symbolizes aspects of yourself that are repressed and dark.
To dream that you are walking through a swampy area, foretells that you will be find yourself in an adverse situation. Disappointments in love may also be implied from this symbol. You will suffer much displeasure from unwise conduct of those around you. On a less negative note, walking through a swamp, denotes that you will experience prosperity and pleasure, but through dangerous and intriguing means.
Tunnel
To dream that you are going through a tunnel, is a bad omen signaling failures in love and in business.

Fingers
To see your fingers in you dream, symbolizes physical and mental dexterity. They indicate manipulation, action and non-verbal communication

Dog
To dream that a dog bites your on the leg, suggests that you have lost your ability to balance aspects of your life. You may be hesitant in approaching a new situation or have no desire to move forward with your goals.

Wolf
To see a wolf in your dream, symbolizes beauty, solitude, mystery, self-confidence and pride. You are able to keep your composure in a variety of social situations and can blend in with any situation with ease and grace. You are a loner by choice. Negatively, it represents hostility and aggression. It may also reflect an uncontrollable force or situation in your life. In particular, if the wolf is white, then it signifies valor and victory. You have the ability to see the light even in your darkest hours.
To dream that you kill a wolf, indicates betrayal and secrets revealed.

Black
Black symbolizes the unknown, unconscious, danger, mystery, darkness, death, mourning, hate or malice.

Brown
Brown denotes worldliness, practicality, domestic and physical comfort, conservatism, and a materialistic character. Brown also represents the ground and earth.

Children
To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured.
Woman
To see a woman in your dream, represents nurturance, passivity, caring nature, and love. It refers to your own female aspects or may also represent your mother. Alternatively, it may indicate temptation and guilt. If you know the woman, then it may symbolize the concerns and feelings you have about her.

i dreamt i was killing zombies. in this foresty/swampy/marshy place. they chase me/i lured them. we go through a tunnel. they die in the sun. they get burnt to ashes.
the scene suddenly (?) changes to the block of flats near my house. the zombies disappear/merge into the block of flats,some fingers turned to concrete on the wall. i then walked into the lift at my house,only to have a brown/black dog-wolf creature attack me and bit my leg. a child entered later,after witnessing me chasing/hitting/attacking the dog-wolf thing away,injured it,probably. i pressed the wrong floor for him to exit (which he did) and a woman entered afterward...

all in all,this sounds like a very bad dream to have... all the signs of bad things... hahaha..
but i do have some (okay,i can only think of ONE right now) problem i havent solved yet,and i know that i dont (really?) want anything to continue from that situation. maybe its time i changed the course of things... hmm~~
well,like they said,it's up to you to believe it.

sept hols....

2008-09-08T22:09:00.002+08:00

yep. i'd definately been slacking. not a good sign,that... but i did study,even if a bit.
oh well.. o levels in 6 more weeks.. have to work harder!!!

thunderstorm here now.. the thunder blaring in my ears... frightening,yes,but now i'm thinking i'm really silly... haha.. i'll virtually crouch into a ball-shaped person (!?!?) when i see lightning.. even though that helps (it could be to late) prevent getting an electric shock.....

oh well. guess i'm just silly. haha.. 2 more papers to go and the prelims are done (:

of dreams again..

2008-09-04T22:57:00.001+08:00

Fiend
To see a fiend in your dream, signifies reckless living, loose morals and a blackened reputation.

http://www.dreammoods.com/

apparently this means i live a reckless life w/ poor reputation? hmmm...

illness

2008-09-04T16:40:00.002+08:00

illness is something which causes pain to both the patients and their loved ones.
illness is something that brings unhappiness.
illness is something that takes away the lives of many people.

a month from now,we (that is to say,my family and i) will have the results on the analysis of my dad's tumor (and whatever is inside -- the cells and whatnot)
i hope the results will show that everything is okay.
i hope that daddy will be okay,because he says the tumor had hurt..

if it were bad news.....well.....................

i'm crossing my fingers and praying very hard everyday!!

(nothing will happen. everything will be okay. i must believe in this so i can carry on properly.)

dreams

2008-09-03T13:20:00.003+08:00

is it really that we will dream about whatever our minds were troubled over?

i swear i'd never thought about some of the stuff that appeared in my dreams.. but they did appear in my dreams... so was i subconsciously thinking about some of these stuff?

i dreamt i was talking to koonling about shoes and socks in the school parade square,amongst some weird ones... going to sentosa..playing go-kart... amksian family day/fund fiesta and whole class have to participate in some relay thing (at sentosa/pasir ris park)....and so many more!!!

i think either my head is trying to tell me that i should get something done,or maybe i ate too much for dinner.

oh my..

2008-09-02T19:04:00.002+08:00

it was not until a few (maybe less than 2) hours that i had found out that my father had gone for a surgery this morning to remove a certain flesh tumor on his chest..
and they couldn't stitch the wound up because he will get an infection (or so my mother had told me). now he has this big bandage plastered onto his chest.
i hope daddy gets well soon..

i think i am a failure of a duaghter.. how is it that my father can ~~be so sick~~ be not well and i did not find out??

moral of story? take the inititive to find things out ~~next time~~.

twilight movie

2008-09-01T21:38:00.009+08:00

primary school's prefects' pledge

2008-08-31T14:14:00.003+08:00

The Prefects' Pledge

We,the prefects of Yishun Primary School,

Pledge to respect our teachers, honour our elders,

and to help and care for our fellow students.

We shall distinguish right from wrong,

be upright and fair in all our dealings.

We shall strive to be exemplary in our conduct,

perform our duties faithfully,

and maintain the discipline in our school.

teachers' day

2008-08-31T12:49:00.007+08:00

we celebrated teachers' day friday at AMKSS..

the performances were not to my taste,but at least some effort was put in to entertain the teachers..

due to the wet weather all of us had to continue the teachers' day celabrations in the hall..

actually we were supposed to have ACER's (All Children [!?] Exercise Regularly) day exercise.. everyclass except graduating class supposed to send 29 people to run.. so each class in all run 29 rounds around the school,in line with the school's 29th anniversary..

in the end the classes only had to send 5 representatives each to do push-ups on stage..

my class won first prize all thanks to desiree who did 200 push-ups herself.. [!]

weiling and vivien did 92 and 94 respectively,and samuel and shaojie did 143 together.. the number could have been larger,but mr. ong kept criticising samuel's push-ups,and that minused quite a bit from the score..

went back to primary school with Bell, ZhiYun and JiaJun..

JJ made us 3 gals wait for him for very long,even though he didn't go to school that day..

zhiyun was the same as i remembered her.. bell and jj had changed quite abit..

bell not so much than jiajun.. he really lost all his childish roundness (not that he was fat,just not slim). anyway,now he has become a very lanky boy/man/person.

and his sun-colored skin looks great too..

hahas. okay. i'm just describing. no other intentions..

anyway,while we waited at yishun interchange,bell,zy and i kept commenting on how jj could have lost his way in time travel, how it must have been difficult to lock his cave,how he was going to pick up tomato teo and all.. it was hilarious.. (because jiajun was 'barbarian tan' and zhijie was 'tomato' due to his red face... now that i think of it his face turns red easily like joy's.. haha)

at school we met xiaomin outside the gate.. the 5 of us went to see ms chew (P6 form tcher) first. it's such a pity that 司徒老师 had moved to toa payoh and is now teaching in guangyang primary.. she taught the 5 of us since p1..

we then went upstairs back to our classroom..

now it's called 6Peace instead of 6A... and inside we saw this...

i cannot fathom why people would do this.. but i found a marker and i did some propaganda/advertising.. i wrote on the whiteboard "join AMKSS"... now i feel so bad...

we went to class 6B next.. saw many people inside,some whom i do not know (the guys). shufeng,rachel,shuying,huimin,jasmine were inside with some guys (i only know they are ex-students.. i can remember the faces;not the names)

the 'original' group of 5 went and saw Mrs Lim, our P5 form teacher..

then sinren came,with shuting..

we went for a 'tour' of the school,taking photographs..

the toilets were super cute..

each cubicle has a gnome to 'guard' it..
and you are greeted by a pot of (fake) sunflowers (and a mop,a pail,and a rubbish bin) when you enter...
the quardrangle..

ths school hall...
our school song..
our core values..
our vision and school rules..
children's day drawing since 2001... apparently the hall hasn't changed much in the past 4yrs.. but i havent gone backstage the hall.. should not be so quick to judge..
i miss the backstage days at the hall.. so much fun..

we took photos with each other too.. but i will have to get the photos from rachel..
let me relist all the people i saw..

from my class:
shuting,shufeng,shuying,rachel,monica,sinren,bellrarie,zhiyun,ruzzi'eanne (we call her ruzzie and her twin sister suzzie)
jiajiun,ashwin,zhijie,szehoe,pramesh,ruixiang,zhengshun..

from other classes:
lydia toh,jessica (zy reminded me of their names. and lydia did her hair.. she's still a beauty,anyway)

i see kengadevi sometimes,and fathin and li jie... i dont see li jie's twin brother,nor have i seen manisha ever since she moved to admiralty, rayhanah since she moved to queenstown and so many people...

i especially missed my (ex?) best friends manisha, kumarran, and rayhanah... i hope to see them soon.. but i doubt it.. our school is going to merge with peixin primary.. there will be no place to go back to,other than the new PXPS campus of 7 blocks (even amkss also dun have 7 blocks..) even though they are going to adopt YPS as the school name.. i wonder how the uniforms will look like.. oh well,i can see that next year.but that is not the point..

now that we are going to lose our '1st second home' (the 2nd one being our secondary school) to something more or less foreign.....

i wan to see them again if i can.. maybe in the future... i just have to pray that i do..

and yes,as the pictures show,credits go to bell-bell for the photographs.

weird

2008-08-28T18:28:00.002+08:00

yep,major weird.

i just woke up about 10 minutes ago,after coming home from my bio prelim paper. ang guess what jolted me awake? read this...

there were a few people sitting at some metal bench-and-table thing near the hall from the teachers' staff room,just at the coridor. there were 2 of the metal bench things,and sitting there were people from my class. weizheng,rosanna,iris,xiaodan,jeanette,joy,clara...
we were discussing/going through some bio stuff,like last minute revision before the exam..
clara asked joy something..and i helped explain it.. but i was at the beginning of my explaination,when everyone was required to go into the hall. i remembered fear/stress from entering the hall....and then i woke up..

i could have dreamed about a bio paper,but i doubt i was that creative.. haha.. totally weird,huh?

chemistry paper

2008-08-27T16:42:00.002+08:00

today was good and not so good.
good: i can go to school late because my paper starts at 11.30am.
good: the paper was easier than i'd expected...but.......
bad: i was so worried about the paper! i did not manage to memorise all the info well,and
bad: because i'd lost many marks in the chem paper,not to mention i am still so darn clueless about electrolysis..

gah. tomorrow we have the killers -- bio and ss paper together! i swear bio combined with any humanities subject are definate killers.

oh well... back to studying..

How to do an Evil Laugh

2008-08-26T21:16:00.002+08:00

feeling evil? here's How to Do an Evil Laugh
Ever want that perfect evil laugh? Well, you're in luck! By following the directions below, you will be able to impress almost anyone with your new sickeningly evil chuckle of horror.

Steps
1.First get in an evil mood. A good way of doing this is to think of evil plots or just generally evil things.
2.Decide whether you want a high-pitched laugh or a low laugh. If you chose to do a low-pitched laugh and you are capable of adding an echo effect, do so.
3.Cock your eyebrows and try and look as mean as possible, while still keeping a mysteriously and creepy 'I know something you don't know' look.
4.Laugh wickedly like "muahhahahaha" or "hehehehehehehehe". If laughing "muhahaha" style, do it from the throat.
5.Accentuate your crazy laugh with wild evil hand movements, you can throw your arms in the air, or another good way is to tap your fingers against each other like Mr. Burns on The Simpsons: Excellent! You can also rub your hands together for the extra effect.

Tips
Think of the Joker's laugh in Batman: The Animated Series.

Warnings
~Don't actually do anything evil, because it may result in turning evil.
~It's not really recomended that you try this in public, unless it appropriete or you're really brave.

weizheng's b-day

2008-08-26T21:06:00.003+08:00

today is weizheng's b'day.
we gave him a fake bread in a plastic bag,and he actually bit into it, exclaiming that "it tastes horrendously bitter" afterwards.
wenyan,audrey,xiaodan and some others were laughing when he ate (or at least try to eat) the fake bread,already in on the joke. me,esther,dorothy and meiyen found out later,but we had laughed with weizheng when he discovered it.
like xiaodan said, "only someone who eats bread will fall for it. i wont.." and weizheng interrupted "because you never eat bread in the first place"

it was absolutely hilarious. a great way to relax before the exam.

after the english compre we had about an hour of break.
we studied maths outside the hall under the tables with the umbrellas.
just about a good half hour before the 2nd paper started,weizheng began inspecting his gifts.. we played with them (and him). and xiaodan took a picture of his octopus soft toy (i helped hold it in place)

maths was horrid. i totally just stone-d there for the first hour of the exams,trying to figure out how to do the questions.
and in the end i tried to do everything but of course i had many of them wrong.
ms lee will so kill me when we go through the papers.

maths again~

2008-08-25T12:06:00.006+08:00

feels like i keep talking about maths..

not that i mind,but i must be boring those ppl reading my blog. (haha. like there are ppl who come here that often in the first place)

i'm sure i will fail my a maths test.. get the results then i sure wun get this expression:

because i already expected to get poor result..

most probably i will be lidat at myself.. then i will go 'rawgh~~!!'
and then i will be upset and cry. most probably.
but i will be able to calm down after i eat some food. something i like...
okay. maybe not as much as the guy above,but still.

and then i shall chiong more for maths, however much i dislike it.. however much i am tired..
however much i want to sleep
i shall endure and study hard!
and i will work towards my goals!!

okay. crapping over. hee hee [:

maths...

2008-08-24T11:28:00.006+08:00

i finally understood what stephenie meyer had meant when she said that reading maths is harder than doing maths...

its so darn dry!! just like how human geog is so dry to me..

speaking of geog... i think friday that geog test i will fail... i didnt do that 8mark question for the forest management,and i only wrote 2 points for the other 8mark question on how goverments of different countries help their own citizens to get out of poverty.

plus,a LOT of my words are just messy scrawls.. i hope the teacher(s) who mark my papers are able to decipher my handwriting...

gah...

oh well.. back to reading maths...

...

2008-08-23T14:24:00.002+08:00

really. i have no idea what to say. (no point in this post,then,you say?)

but i have to get things off my chest..
some things are just really hard to think about,and even harder to put in words.
...and some things cannot be said,be told to anyone,even if just abit.
not to mention that there are obviously things that cannot be done.

sometimes,i really wish that people can spend time to understand each other,maybe just a bit more. but i also know that we cant have all the time in the world...
gah. type anymore of this and i will fall back into my 'emo' state again.

man,do i sound silly.

reading...

2008-08-22T16:25:00.006+08:00

this picture is from the manga "1/2 Prince". i dont know his/her name yet,but i shall wait to find out!!

nowadays... there is less and less time for me to read anything 'proper' other than those boring textbooks and notes...

being a graduating student really sucks..

how i miss reading those storybooks...

i cant wait to buy Breaking Dawn too,but i have to be patient. at least until the end of this year.

then i can go on to plan the slumber party i want,and go shopping with esther, meiyen, dorothy, xinli, and whoever else..

and when the rest of the class is at the hotel for Prom, we'll be shopping.

that's gotta be nice.

even though i am stuck with reading manga online, (even then,i dont have much time to read them,either) i shall prevail in my efforts to do my best for my O's.

i shall endure.

maths class

2008-08-19T20:07:00.004+08:00

just yesterday, ms lee had asked for a post-it from me.
i had given it to her,and her comment was that i was like doraemon.
“很像小叮当这样，有八宝袋。” were more of her exact words.

i remember the times when she would use to borrow a pencil, a stapler or whatever stationery she needed but did not have in her pencil case at that moment.
mingliang would pretend to pull up metal shutters in front of me, and then remove various items from my pencil case, reciting "bookshop又开门了" simultaneously. after which,he would gesture with his right hand from ms lee toward my table, and she would be infuriated (irritated,more like) and cast him angered looks. it was hilarious. i didnt mind lending me lee my stuff,but mingliang had to make a joke out of it. he stopped after some time,though..

and yesterday,ms lee had mistaken jieying as me.. she was looking at jieying and said "zijing! zijing! help me to give this out!" when she was staring at jieying. then she realised her mistake and apologised for it.

do the 2 of us really look so much the same? for 4years the 2 of us had been mistaken for each other,and we would then greet each other with our original names.

zijing: hi,zijing! *to jieying*
jieying: ....dont want la...haha (looks at zijing and smiles..)
and so we will laugh and laugh.
now that i think of it,i dont have a proper photograph taken with jieying.

i shall go take one with her soon.
but seriously. i love my maths class. i am so going to miss all my teachers and friends so much.

in the meantime...
take a look at this picture.. do the girls look alike? (okay,so i took a photo of a photo and i edited it with photoshop,but that is not the point at this moment)

oral examinations

2008-08-19T17:17:00.004+08:00

i swear they are born to torture people.
so i have a problem with coherency,but so what?
i know i get so silly frightened of those non-smiling teachers they call examiners. i cant help it at all..
and it just sucks that i have to lie about some of the things they ask during the conversation part.
i'm such a terrible liar to begin with; and i dont like to lie, either.
the story i cooked up was so horribly feeble and bland. it lacked details,to begin with, and its got a stupid 'happy ending'. and i doubt my story was very original, either.
now i feel so wretched inside... bah.........!!!!!!!!!!!

worse was that one of the female examiners, (one wore a long-sleeved qipao,) was actually closing her eyes as she listened to me talk.
okay, i do admit my atempt at lying was extremely dry, but you could at least listen!!
that was so rude of you. imagine i slept whilst you talked to me. gah.
you faked no interest in whatever i was blabbering about at all.
i must say i agree with my class to give examiners a students' report on things they should not do (like not even feigning interest in students' blabbering)

moral of the story? try getting sick on verbal diarrhoea just before the oral examinations.

so there. ranting over.
gosh i feel so much better now that that's outta my system.
