I'd Googled my name just for fun and it turned out that the first result is some porn magazine. Thankfully, the second result is a movie due to be released in 2009. Okayy.......

House. (lol)

I am craving for stingray. The food. Because it's really good actually, once you got past the strange texture and shape.

Yayay

2008-04-16T10:00:00.002+08:00

I feel so happy right now! (:

Firstly, our semester is coming to an end this friday. We still have our pop-up card to do (due tomorrow) but still, the euphoria is already so close, enough to smell it!

Secondly, I am going to continue my driving lessons (which I had only one meager lesson before putting on hold) and at the same time, get to drive Andrew's car! Maybe Hong's too. ((: On another note, I will try not to get ourselves killed and getting sent home in pieces. But don't worry...all is fine until the slope and parking... in which I have yet to learn.

Thirdly, my most beloved Okami Art Book is finally on the way! Sort of, because it only arrives in America, and Kinokuniya doesn't ship it. D: Ordering. Sigh. But YES! I can rejoice at last! The moment I read the news and visited the Udon Publishing site for Okami, they set the date at early May. I wonder when exactly is early May, but then my semester break is still on, so yes!!! *jumps around like a maniac* Okami has already arrived on the Wii gaming platform, alas, I don't have it either.

I did a bookmark for Nicholas, our Design 1 Workshop lecturer who is leaving (has he?) for Thailand. It's hurriedly done, in such a way that I had no time for writing a message on the back. I told him to write whatever he liked there >.<

At last, I get to talk with May Kuan again! (: Miss her so much, actually. High school will be high school, can't brush that off. Can't wait to get started on those bookmarks though! Will be doing so on Friday as promised. And I hope to be there to see them getting sold :D

Super bored

2008-04-12T16:28:00.002+08:00

I should really stop naming my blog posts as "bored". Or rather, with that word in it. But then I can't think of anything else.

Emily, you are still my muse! In fact, we work great as a team. (: This poem is for you, if you hadn't claimed it already-you named it!

Solemn Hour

I stoop to catch your tears

That gathered like puddles around

I know that the pain that sears

Cuts down deeply without a sound

I want to comfort you

And tell you everything's alright

This time let me come to your rescue

From the frigid, smothering night

My heart beats with yours

There are no secrets between

Our blood completes the course

A full cycle that is unseen

I know I couldn't stem the flow

Of the steady sorrow with my power

But against all odds, I'll never go

Remaining with you during this solemn hour.

Poem by me (Cheri - 2008)

Titled by Emily - 2008

Random love

2008-04-06T17:18:00.001+08:00

I love Okami. Alot. Very much. So if anyone happens to be in America when the art book publishes, buy it for me and I will love you forever. To the end of time. And all those cheesy endings.

Don't panic.

2008-04-04T23:07:00.002+08:00

Okay, Itachi did pass away. Sasuke somehow (sheer luck.) managed to triumph over Susanoo, which everyone believed was the main cause of his downfall. Was it mere fate that the elder brother should meet his demise... to his younger sibling? Actually I was expecting some kind of joke... or even better, an illusion this time around for a change. Just when you want an illusion for a good purpose. The artist better have a good reason for killing off characters. Unbiased one, too. Hopefully Murtagh kicks the bucket too. But then, Eragon has miles ahead to really beat him... I mean come on. His teacher is the (supreme) powerful king Galbatorix whom self-handedly killed loads of people by using magic even the elves dare not venture into. Oh man, where exactly am I prattling off to?

Yes, I'm trying not to panic, but then I am. Most of our projects (the ones requiring loads of effort) are to be handed in next week. Which is...about three of them? And the number may be small, but the feat to finish them all isn't easy. We are all freaking out, because it's no laughing matter. My head is buzzing from the stress, which I am sure everyone is feeling the tension by now. But we are here, hence we must be prepared to face this. And whatever that lies ahead. I can't even find time to write! Blogging doesn't count, by the way.

I am so easily sidetracked. Anyway, we're heading back to Taiping to pray for our grandfather-my dad's father. I won't say that standing under the sun is entirely enjoyable, but then, it's sort of like a personal experience, and the connection. Yes, it's cheesy, put it whatever way you want, but it's true, like what they always write in the papers and essays. And it's family tradition. Rekindle it before it snuffs out. It's something like a standing symbol of our race. You know what I mean.

Cindi still likes Kanda and Tyki (there's just so many variations to his name that I am just going to settle with one). *insert 'ooooh' sound here* LOL. I still don't understand why Kanda though. I mean, if I want to commit suicide but am scared to do so, I'd go to him. Or, to experience first-hand bitch-fits. From Kanda, the guy with the incredibly-impossible-gorgeously-silky hair. Take a look at the hair! It surpasses every single hair ad you have ever seen. Seriously.

Jason, I bet you still read it, even though Itachi's dead.

In which someone was really lucky

2008-04-03T09:54:00.002+08:00

Back on Tuesday my friend Timothy lost his portfolio case, a black briefcase which many art students lug to college, so it's more than just a trendy accessory. And it's heavy. So when I reached home, I got a message from him saying that he lost it. To add matters worse, his final assignment was in it. :O Frankly I didn't know what to say. I really pitied him because he would have to redo it from scratch, and the submission date was next Tuesday!

But luck was smiling down on him. He messaged me again yesterday to tell me that the small mart (that strongly resembled 7 eleven minus the slurpee) along our college had kept the bag. Apparently he had unconsciously left it there! I was truly amazed by the honesty of these people as you hardly get good samaritans like these nowadays. I will never look at KK Mart in the same way again. :) It was almost as if God had really answered his prayers. Good on you, Timothy.

Jason's new spazz: Hellboy II: the Golden Army. Hey the trailer's very very artsy (if you see it from a different angle, but so far I can't), and he digs the characters. Like that amphibian-sapien-thing and the latest addition: this weird brown-eyeless-thing-with eyes on it's four wings. Super weird. Don't get what I am prattling about? Go Youtube the trailer and watch it. I think the fanboys will love it. But if they don't....then too bad. XD Cindi thinks the music is cheesy. The saving-the-world thing is over used. And....yes, everything's cheesy. Because they've to save the world...from elves?? What kind of parallel universe is this? Since when do elves turn nasty (physically and er...emotionally?) in movies? In this movie, it seems. I thought it was going to be cool, because there's this scene where you get to see the elves standing there, and against this orange autumn-ish backdrop. Then suddenly-ish! ROFL it's Lucius Malfoy with a bit of Voldemort(his face garhh)! Maybe it's the remix. And well, at least they still got their (cool?) weapon swinging skills intact (which I told Jason not to attempt them in my presence). But then...topless elves?? Another oddity. I don't know if I should laugh my head off or slap myself in horror. This is such a scary movie. ~~First period eye candy.~~ Somebody please bring me back to reality! I should watch C.S.I., good riddance :O

Three posts in one day-you know I've lost it.

Ouch.

I think the History project is jinxed. On Saturday, I lost my balance and (WHAM) collided against a really hard table. In three places. The pain wasn't instantaneous, but then the bruises emerged today. Urgh. My arm, my neck and my hip is smarting now. P: And imagine me when I forgotten about that and shoved the 7-eleven door open with that arm. AHHH. And just now, with my nose buried in the notes of our project, I missed two steps down the stairs. What happens next is history (pun intended). Thank goodness I fell on a position where nothing is broken, nothing twisted, nothing fractured, but then I can expect more bruises soon enough.

WOW.

2008-03-30T11:45:00.003+08:00

So the world has gone even more weirder by the minute. Or rather, week. What's-his-name-creepy-smile-guy was actually the 5th captain. I don't think you know who am I even talking about. And Zetsu=aloe vera. That means I've got him in our garden and I've eaten him before. Sick. But it tastes nice. Seriously. Aloe vera pulp!

Assignments! They are driving me nuts. It's an understatement. Suddenly everything's crashing. I've no fodder for blogging lately, it's just projects on my mind. Yesterday when we went to print something, there was a fat guy who sat at the desktop, so I handed him my pendrive. He asked, "What's the name of the file?" I paused. No way I remember it because there's more than that in my head and my pendrive. So I said, "I can't remember, because there's more than one file in there." And the guy said, "Oh my goodness." We were exchanging looks. And really, I have tons of barbed responses in my head, but all I could think of was, "Bugger you. Will it kill you if there's a zillion files in there? Not like there's that much right? And I can point it out to you, or you are just refusing to let my supposedly grimy fingers to touch your godforsaken mouse? Or how about this: you don't want customers? How on earth could you even be working here is a downright mystery. I've met way better people than you, and if it wasn't for the price, we wouldn't even be here, sleaze." Okay, so I didn't say anything of the sort.

But then... you get what I mean. I am very good at keeping quiet. I think Apple doesn't do webcam. D:

Garbled content

2008-03-24T09:54:00.002+08:00

I haven't being chucking anything here for sometime so I figure that I should get at least something going. Lately, I have been spazzing......over alot of things. Yes I still like Okami. Very much. Still awaiting that art book, which is taking forever. And thank you Jennifer for the kimono! How can I ever express my heartfelt gratitude through chatting? O: And Ethan! You guys eat stuff like BBQ, roast and pasta! I want to be there too. D: I mean, we only get those food in high class dining shops. The weather and everything there must be tons better than here. It's New Zealand! Peter Jackson did LOTR there! And plus you got a PSP (on loan). So don't you dare complain about woodlice! XD

Do I want to watch Spiderwick? Something's pulling me back, and I don't know what, to be exact. Am I just worried that this movie will turn out to be having a book-movie syndrome? Or maybe I should save my money for another movie. We hate the Potter films, but somehow we still watch it. Must be the burning ongoing passion for Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling must be so proud of us. I've bought paper for my color diary. But something's pulling me back (again!) from working on it. Well I still have to do it tonight. Expect a lot of cutting and pasting. I visited those links our lecturer gave us on scrapbooking. They look complicated! I don't have time for complicated. And I am no scrapbook wiz.

Victoria! We can celebrate now eh? But what did you write in red? I don't get it. Is it Japanese? XD And by the way there's this column of ads on the right hand side of your Xanga that has completely covered your chatbox. D: How do I leave a message? But Ulquiorra's back, and that's all that matters. Aizen on his quest towards world domination...

Meanwhile, Jason is spazzing over the fact that Itachi could possibly be dead. Because it seems so, and everyone's saying it. I wonder if people are crying and staging funerals. Somebody call Gil Grissom and his team to certify the C.O.D. please! And just arrest the murderer. We all know who he is. It's in broad daylight.

And 10,000 BC didn't blow me away. It threw me to Jupiter with it's stupendous force of outrageousness.

this is a negative post. hoho.

2008-03-09T18:37:00.002+08:00

Don't ever watch 10,000 BC! Because it will just clash with what you learn in history lessons, (sort of) waste your money on the ticket, and give you fodder for negative writing. Heheh. Because it's terrible, no kidding. I don't wish to spoil the movie, as I understand how others feel (despite how horrid the movie is) when something is spoiled before we watch/read it. For short, it's so... crazy. I mean, how could the directors not give any thought to this while filming this (epic)? So not a blockbuster, dude.

And me and Jason were going all out on the latest Naruto chapter. Hey, it's the weekend pastime to discuss stuff like that :O But this chapter makes me want to chuck a book in Kishi's face. Jason laughed, so he finds it hilarious. It was, a bit. Serious. Stupidly crazy. Even the cheesier movies have better endings for their villians. You should hear us go on about it. Now that's an epic!

gosh

2008-03-05T16:49:00.002+08:00

Apologies for the lack of creativeness in my titles lately. Because there isn't anything great to write about...except for a few things that I am *cough* too lazy to blog. Not lazy (amends) but then too busy. There's this truckload of assignments and this Exploration week isn't doing any favors. It's labelled as 'holiday' but us students prefer to see it as 'precious time to complete assignments'.

I decided to write something readable today.

A few reasons why I absolutely detest my neighborhood.

1. The lack of attention paid towards the cleanliness. I mean, seriously. The people here sort of have this 'i keep my part clean and that's it' mentality. Their porch is clean (not that clean, but still cleaner right?) but then not far away there's this place where everybody just dumps their garbage. It's safe to say that the place isn't the official spot for trash, but whoever started the thing is a real moron. We not only find tree branches and dried leaves, but then old, moldy furniture. Everything just decomposes there. And there's another dump site, in front of this house. That's where some people dump their household waste, as in those in garbage bags. Right there. Seriously. I wonder if the people in that house complained, because nothing has happened yet. And this is the age of recycling and keeping places clean.

2. Dogs. Stray dogs everywhere! They're equivalent to any Russian mob gang. It's nerve wracking. I try to avoid passing this house across ours. Because that house has a history of mad dogs, an accident I will never forget, and the idiotic attitude of the owner. I saw my once neighbor crash head-first into the drain when his bike hit the cement asphalt. Because one of those dogs from that house was chasing him. It was scary, and even scarier when my mum thought that I had fallen in instead. And the owner still said, 'they won't bite anyone' and he doesn't chain them up. Idiot. And there's this house which used to have a bitch. (pun intended okay) A really ugly one too. Best part is she isn't nice at all. She chases any random passer-by. Sweet, no? And the way the people call it: 'poppy...' could possibly reign as the most irritating thing ever after Ashlee Simpson's Out of My Head, or whatever the title of that song is. But God must've answered our prayers. The bitch was missing one day, and my mum was singing praises (but not in public).

Heheh. And that's all I could think of for now. My brain is suffering from the lack of rest.

Finally!

2008-02-25T09:42:00.002+08:00

This is my first post-on my brand new Macbook! Just got it on Saturday, and it's so fine. (: The colour rocks. But I still don't know how to upload pictures from my phone because Nokia PC suite doesn't run on Mac! And how do I save pictures from the internet and set wallpapers from the internet? Sigh. Oh well. I can now 'act pro' at Starbucks. No, 1 U. (:

Updates

2008-02-20T10:25:00.003+08:00

Yeah, okay, I should write something, because my last update was before Chinese New Year. Great job, Cheri. But then my inspiration to write tends to wear off so quickly that I forget. And there isn't much stuff that's noteworthy to be mentioned. Except Joshua is a lazy bum. (: Well, he admits it himself!

The saga continues!

2008-02-04T10:13:00.000+08:00

:"Pretty please?"
:"He's crazy. It's official."

:"ZOMG it's emitting smoke! My wish has been granted!"
:"?? Kick it then dammit rofl"

Must get a White Macbook soon, must get a White Macbook soon...... pray to the mysterious contraption! :D Supposed to be looking for pictures of *cough* superstars *cough* for Design Workshop. But I saw this, and I couldn't resist it.

Haha. After Chinese New Year.

title-less

2008-01-26T23:42:00.000+08:00

I really have nothing to write. And nothing to say. Except that I can't wait for my Okami Artbook and that Macbook. I want.

I did my lines assignment today, and I hope it passes. I do intend to do better but somehow I feel that it isn't enough. And there's that English presentation on Monday. A terrifying experience? Gosh, and I'm supposed to act it out? Just kill me, 'cause I'll be assessed by that.

I miss Jason. In a cousin way, if you know what I mean. I haven't seen you since that barbecue outing with the Sci-Fi cafe members. It felt like hanging out with my ex-classmates. Funny guys. :)

whew.

2008-01-20T17:45:00.000+08:00

Okay, so the first week of the term has passed. So far it's been okay. And the assignments are currently manageable. Well yeah, for now.

I was trying out the keyboard of the Macbook only to realize how much I detest our computer keyboard. It's Philips, and it gets really noisy when you type. And it's hard too, as if it just simply refuses to cooperate with you. So you have to press harder. And this results in unnecessary noise pollution.

Gosh, I want a Macbook.

Illustrator CS was quite fun! I felt like I was at the flash workshop again. But it's pretty okay now. Our lecturer joked about "stuff" going on in the campus, like when you pass a computer lab and there's only one pc turned on, don't go in there. And if the room is chilly, maybe it isn't the air-con. But speaking of cold, the computer lab was cold enough. I am not looking forward to History of Arts. I think our lecturer just succeeded in creeping me out. D:

Heroes and Darker than BLACK rant

2008-01-13T17:43:00.000+08:00

I can't take it anymore. I have to blog about the current anime I'm following (current, because I watched it in December, and will continue because it rocked) which is titled Darker than BLACK. It's seemingly impossible to remember the Japanese version of it.

Darker than BLACK focuses mainly on the few main characters: Hei (the title character), Yin-a blind girl known as a Doll, Huang-a guy who puffs but is dead resourceful, and Mao, a black cat who was once human. And there's the mysterious Hell's Gate surrounding Tokyo, thus the presence of Contractors and Dolls. Contractors are really people with powers, who will do the bidding of anyone for a price. As the term goes, Contractors have an obeisance they have to perform after executing their powers. Some of them include breaking fingers (D:), eating, folding pages etc. While Contractors are simple killing machines, Dolls are quite the opposite. They don't do anything, except what they're programmed to do. And neither do they show any emotion at all. Hei works for a mysterious syndicate, with the powers of conjuring and manipulating electricity. His remuneration is eating. People say he will balloon when he turns 30. No luck yet. Hei is known as the Cursed Contractor (aren't they all cursed) and he also have the power of molecular generation. What is that? Hei is pretty much keen on finding his sister named Bai, who is also a Contractor. And if you want to know more, watch it! It's really sci-fi, and would make a terrific American tv series.

I admit that I am quite lame and should be attacked by all Heroes fans out there as I have just recently picked it up via Astro. So I have absolutely no idea who on earth Sylar is-until I saw him. Yeah. Ohh, so horrible eh? But I had heard of it-just wasn't interested in it then. With SPM creeping up on me...can't say much. So I am still a newbie (or noob) in this Heroes topic.

Classes begin tomorrow and I am feeling nervous. So it's just language, but then. Gahh, I am really jittery now; nothing's coming to me. Should stop here.

Photo post!

2008-01-13T09:23:00.000+08:00

I had no choice but to attend this toddler's birthday party as my mum babysits her. Patience is the real key here.

My slippers are on the far right; that's Claire's. Or Cindi's. (:

Hey I was bored here. Nothing to look forward to but food. Which was the sole purpose of my presence.

The cake is from PJ Hilton, apparently.

---------------------
Now it's photos from another of our class outings. Kelvin's back, with tons of gifts! (: Small, but nice ones.

This was where we ate at.

One of the stuff from Kelvin. (: Although it's second hand, I like.

And this one. (: Though Claire was all over it. XD
OMG look at the name of the shop.

Art thieves

2008-01-12T12:18:00.000+08:00

I am speaking on behalf of all artists around the world whose art was mercilessly stolen, ripped of their copyright, and used by others as their own. I may not be a victim, but reading others' who've been one just makes me annoyed, if not, truly ticked off. It's plagiarism! Didn't you learn that in school, that it's wrong to copy and steal peoples' ideas and use them as your own? That is simply dishonest, and fake. You're displaying an image of yourself that isn't real to the public, and exhibiting others' achievements as your own. How lame is that? If you're really talented, go make some groundbreaking artwork on your own and showcase that instead, don't steal good works and post them as your own. It's downright cheating, and a dirty tactic.

Kwan Hwa Shiang from Deviantart has a forum for reports on stolen works. If you happen to spot any that you recognise, feel free to post the link to this forum. It seems that most of the stolen works are from Deviantart.

Don't ever visit Glitter Graphics! It's a place where stolen artwork are posted. Does these people have any shame? It's taking without permission and earning the credit that doesn't belong to you! Disgusting, really. Art theft should really be taken seriously. It's not a global thing yet, but it should be.

Orientation day II

2008-01-08T18:04:00.000+08:00

How could I've forgotten to put my photo onto a blank spot that says 'student photo' there?

But overall orientation today was rather...boring. Because we were being briefed through the Student Handbook (which we will get it...sometime around next week). Sorry, but then I just couldn't help but yawn. XD And tomorrow we will be sorted into classes and receive our timetables. I really wish me and Esther will be in the same class. If we're not, I guess I have to start making friends again.

But I still wish we're in the same class.

Note: Must remember to head to library next Monday. Collect membership (card I think, but the person didn't say)

Today was rather long. And the wait for the bus was also longer. The train was as usual. And now I am rather tired...over walking. Haha. I have to walk to my college because the bus drops us in front of Sunway Pyramid. And I have to continue on foot. And the bus taking me back drops me at the shops near my house, so I have to walk back also.

Another reason to love 24 (300th post!)

2008-01-07T17:48:00.000+08:00

I didn't know that Zachary Quinto was a CTU analyst on the third season of 24. That makes the show even cooler. Because Jack Bauer is the man! He raises the cool factor of the whole show with just his mere presence. And the writers really know their stuff. The episodes ends on cue, always a cliffhanger, and thus leaving us viewers hungry for more. And we've to wait one whole week. Hence the tension. Lol.

Now I am sorely tempted to watch 24 season 3 again just to catch a glimpse of him. But then again I may have to rewatch the whole thing. I seriously can't remember anything! D:

Orientation

2008-01-07T17:20:00.000+08:00

Yes, that's my student tag/card. I am never going to show you my photo ever because somehow they always happen to suck. Despite my attempts to make them look better all the time. D: But orientation today was quite okay! I mean, after I got over the sleepiness and the over-earliness. Because it starts at 9:15am and I reached at 8am. Actually, when I first arrived everyone was waiting outside-the doors haven't even opened. After that, I just sat down amongst the seniors as they get their timetables and (gasp) their results for their past exam I guess. I met some new friends there-not that I could stay alone for long. (: So it's a good thing. And I met Esther from the Flash Workshop too! I pray that we're in the same class; we only know that on Wednesday. And the tour of the campus, hoho.

My copy of Eclipse. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way, but it's actually quite cool. To me. :)

And I haven't had much photos on my blog much.

>Victoria: I know! :) How could I not notice it before?

OMG.

2008-01-06T12:06:00.000+08:00

OVEN BAKED FRIES. It's looks incredible. And it's a great way to stop myself from ranting about Zachary Quinto all day.

Driving lessons

2008-01-06T10:03:00.000+08:00

Me and Emily went for our first driving lesson yesterday. Not together thought, much sadly. But then, our instructor (the very same!) was really patient and nice so I didn't have much problems. Except being nervous on the road. It's pretty okay to drive along the road with other cars but I am still shaky when it comes to pulling to a stop at traffic lights. And going off when the lights turn green. I think going off is more challenging. I must remember to switch back to gear 1 when I stop but then there's that funny gear lever/stick! It's easy to move up and down but sticky to get to gear 3 which is...well...tough. To me. But switching gears are quite amusing. I didn't know the accelerator or whatever it's called is extremely sensitive. Just a little pressure sends the car forwards, too much will cause a growling noise like you usually hear in the movies. I am such a noob. I guess we all will be-until we turn pros.

Is Kelvin back yet? Can't wait to meet up. :) And I officially start college tomorrow. There's that fluttery feeling of a new place, and yet I feel strangely excited. Because it's new. But then it will be routine soon.

Sigh. (eye roll)

2008-01-03T15:40:00.000+08:00

I wonder how many posts I've decided to give the title 'Sigh' simply because I can't think of anything wordy enough.

My college starts on 7th January. In other words, next Monday. I feel...excited and nervous. I mean, it's a whole new chapter for me. And for some of us. In a way it's starting anew. But I miss 5 Batai 2007. The stuff you guys did! It's hilarious. Although some of you have already left Malaysia, I am sure we will keep in touch.

It has been such a different year. Love you guys who stayed stuck with me. Especially Yi Ming and Hwee Lynn. It's a great year for knowing a new friend, Victoria. (: Great year for watching Heroes for the first time. Great 'cause I somehow got interested in Zachary Quinto and Milo Ventimiglia. And now, 2008 is considered quite great too, as things are beginning to brighten... :)

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T10:39:00.000+08:00

It's a really quiet countdown this year for us. So we did went to one of the malls with the countdown hype, but we left before they began :) And after supper while we were driving home listening to the radio, it was officially 2008. Yes. The year when we all go to college. And er, grow up? I guess. I have no idea on what to write now really, so allow me to go and write somemore crap elsewhere. :) And again,
Happy New Year!

I know this picture is irrelevant. So don't look at it then! XD But he looks good, admit it. And since Rihanna's Umbrella is Hitz.fm's song of the year, I should hunt around for a hilarious photo to post. Or I should just photo Cindi or Ken. They are such camwhores. It's not an insult, you know :)

Bleach! In Japan, sadly.

2007-12-31T11:52:00.000+08:00

Thinking

2007-12-29T17:07:00.000+08:00

I am writing a fanfic. Yeah, surprising, ain't it? I haven't been penning anything (except blogging which doesn't count) these days; the previous thing was my first poem in months titled 'Home'. I didn't get around to posting it up anywhere yet, but I was out that day and inspiration struck. So what would you have done? I wrote it in my phone. I bet passer-bys who probably think I'm sms-ing someone will be saying in their heads: "Kids these days." I can't stop them from saying, but still, never judge a book by its cover. And guess what-a fight broke out that day. It felt like ages ago, but still, you don't get to witness a brawl everytime you visit the mall. It was Midvalley, in Metrojaya, the ladies' bags section, and two of the male staffs suddenly started to hit each other. D: Yikes.

So, yes. The fanfic. I still don't know what to make of it yet, because I haven't wrote anything in ages. I would like to maintain it (from being deleted pointlessly like always) but if my idea fades off-too bad. XD My brain can get very fickle. I have yet to complete anything I've wrote (except poems and school essays) so.........this is horrible. Maybe it takes a whole lot of dedication. But it's just a fanfic. But my head can go into overdrive with too many ideas-and that's the time when I'm nowhere near the pc. What luck. Even the sypnosis is unplanned. So what will it be? *stares* At the stage I'm writing, it could be anything. Let the creative juices flow-if my brain even secretes any. But once I actually thought of writing a spy thing ala Bourne only to realise that there isn't much time to do that in an exam. Haha. Our English teacher has somehow managed to train me into writing short essays. D: I don't know if it's a good thing, but in school it most certainly is. She kept telling us it's not the grandmother story she wants to read but it's our vocab. Of course our essay must have content to keep her reading on, but don't make it draggggyy. And she always insist on unexpected plots. How is that possible during exams? For our English essay paper, there is literally no time to think. The minute your pen touches the paper, you ought to have a strong idea on what you intend to put down into words. Or else you will find yourself pushed for time. I have my near misses, or at least that's what I think. So now I'm accustomed to writing short pieces, whether I like it or not. Just can't seem to write long stuff. I should try.

I'm still thinking about my blog address. I do plan to change it next year, but I can't think of what. So maybe my fanfic will be about Heroes. Maybe. Or maybe it's just like any other essay I have written at school. Would be cool if my teacher could read and comment like she does in Form 3. Journals were so fun. (:

Ta daaa~

2007-12-27T10:15:00.000+08:00

:) Hee.

ZOMG.

2007-12-26T16:28:00.000+08:00

There's Bleach: Heat the Soul 5. And you can use Senna. And Ulquiorra looks sodamncool. And Hitsugaya looks so cute. And there's only 5 characters added so far to boot.

evil is good.

2007-12-26T15:48:00.000+08:00

Spare me of the title first, because I shall begin by prattling about the previous events in the past days. (:

We spent our Christmas eve with Victoria and Elizabeth at the Pavilion. I really enjoyed it with you guys! We make such a team, you have no idea. Our insults can reduce Zac Efron to nothingness. Oh yes we hate him. Why? His hair, his face, his smile, his dress style, his sole purpose for existing and making the world a less perfect place. After roaming the Pavilion and having lunch (Italian. Ooh.) we headed back to their hotel room for some real, sheer fun. XD I admit that we're PS2-addicts, die-hards, you name it! I still dig Bleach: Blade Battlers. Simply because the controls are easy to adjust to (and the characters aren't really ugly). I shouldn't have used Rukia against Yammi. He was so huge the enormity of it just made it impossible to beat him. Well as Rukia, maybe. Rukia in school uniform, Rukia who rolls instead of shunpo-ing. Wrong choice, haha. We also tried Narutimate Hero 2 (?) with rather hilarious results. I still can't seem to get a hold on the controls because it's darn confusing. To me. I embarassed Haku and Temari to bits but glorified Kakashi (!), Sasuke (....) and Orochimaru instead. I got nothing against them (well, excluding Sasuke), but I was seriously expecting something else. I mean, Sasuke?? That punk which got people shipping pairings with his own brother and his ex-mate? And we did Digimon: Rumble Arena 2 but it simply didn't click. So we.....switched back to Bleach. :D

Thanks for that unexpected Christmas dinner! I really didn't expect such delicious food. (though the drive there made me feel like jelly) The ham was ohsogood.

On Christmas day we went to 1 Utama. Again we roamed the place before stopping at the final pit stop that was MPH. Naturally. I think we must've scared half the customers away with our laughing. But could you blame us? XD Zac Efron was just there. With his pictures splayed across many pages (gasp) it was very very nightmarish. And there was Corbin Bleu. I am quite sure I spelled his name drastically wrong here. :P His bush-like-broccoli-mop that looks awful windswept or even at the wrong angles. I know HSM fans will kill us for sure... And (if there're even any) fans of Chad, Noitora and the weird bunch of baddies in Hueco Mundo governed by Aizen (Ken in disguise). Because we said Chad has collagen-pouty-outrageous lips that shouldn't be there. Kubo Tite! What were you thinking when you drew him?? But gay men aside (that means Sasuke too) I did enjoy my day tremendously. And I sure hope you guys do as well. :)

Now for some fan moments. And the reason for the title.

I just watched CSI and I saw Sara and Grissom together! Oh, so sweet. As one of their shippers, I feel so proud. :) *glows*

I had a nightmare recently. Some of you may not find it a nightmare, but to me. Yes. So just keep a straight face. Fancy being immobile, incapable of speech in a hospital bed and having a visitor like Sylar reading you a book. Alarming. But it's so strange what dreams can do to you. Because I think I like him now. Seriously. Now he is jostling for space in my head with Milo Ventimiglia (Yes, I shame-facedly copied and pasted his name because I can't spell it) from Heroes respectively. I don't have much cute guys in my head.....so I thought I'd just add some more. :) Hehe.

This is taken from Entertainment Weekly. And oh dear, I recognise that idiot from 24.

From left: Yeah, the idiot called Fayed (I think) from 24, Prison Break's Theodore, Battlestar Galactica's Gaius Baltar (Omg, he doesn't look evil.), Ken's all time favourite Wilhemina from Ugly Betty, and lastly, *hem*. :) Yours truly. Hoho. Okay okay so I do like evil characters, but not all, see.

Late season greetings

2007-12-26T10:55:00.000+08:00

This may be rather late but Merry Christmas. ((:

Kelvin, I envy you so much so in return you must buy me something back from Japan. Hehe. I hope you are having fun over there. How'd Christmas go (if you still happen to read my blog further)

Most probably, this blog address will change by 2008. You know, new year, new everything. In theory.

How to save a life, the fray

2007-12-18T04:43:00.000+08:00

Step one you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down, it’s just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you,
You stare politely right on through,
Some sort of window to your right.
As he goes left and you stay right,
Between the lines of fear and blame,
You begin to wonder why you came.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.

Let him know that you know best,
'Cause after all you do know best.
Try to slip past his defense,
Without granting innocence.
Lay down a list of what is wrong.
The things you’ve told him all along.
Pray to god he hears you.
And I pray to god he hears you and,

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.

As he begins to raise his voice,
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
"Drive until you lose the road,
Or break with the ones you’ve followed."
He will do one of two things.
He will admit to everything,
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same,
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
How to save a life.
How to save a life.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.
How to save a life.
How to save a life.

Movie Review: Enchanted

2007-12-15T04:57:00.000+08:00

Before that, Amazon.com has this page of pictures and a video related to J.K. Rowling's Tales of Beedle the Bard. The books looks rather creepy, but the contents are incredible as she wrote and drew them all herself. Go here for the page.

I watched Enchanted earlier this Tuesday. Ethan was so excited about it, but Kelvin and Nicklaus weren't. Haha.

Enchanted is well, Disney. So it may not appeal to those who finds them corny, cheesy. The movie begins with classic Disney fairytale style, in cartoon, the book on the pedestal, and the familiar opening lines of 'Once upon a time...'. The story takes place in Andalasia (sounds like Andalusia) first where the princess Giselle meets prince Edward (!) after a heroic rescue. And sparks flew, love at first sight yada yada. It's only in movies where the newly met couple chooses to wed the next day. A Disney movie isn't quite complete without animal companions, which helped Giselle prepare for her wedding, songs to sing along, which is the trademark of Disney, and the main villian, always scheming to break up the happy couple. And that is Narissa, Edward's (cough) mother, who refuses to relinquish her hold on her throne. So what would you

have done?

When Giselle arrives at the palace, Edward wasn't there. Instead there was this old crone who told her to make a wish by this wishing well. A normal person would've found it a bit too odd, but Disney characters are thick. Giselle leans in too close and is pushed down the bottomless well by the crone (evil queen). So she falls...and emerges from a manhole to the bustling streets of New York. Everyone thinks she's nutty (obviously!) as she looks more in place at a costume play convention. Until her oddness got her attention from Morgan, daughter to Robert, a divorce lawyer who apparently split up with his own wife and is seeing Nancy, a career woman. They took her back to their apartment. Robert doesn't believe in happy endings. He is in the harsh reality where things don't go smoothly like how Giselle thinks. But somehow, things do fall in place unexpectedly, and he finds himself falling for her. To add to the mix, there's Edward, who is flamboyantly gay in that prince outfit, labelling everyone as 'peasants' in his quest to find his bride to be. I am surprised that no one punched him. But the bikers did! Indirectly, but it's priceless. And Narissa's sneaky servant, Nathaniel keeps attempting to kill Giselle, with failing results.

Of course, the ending was predictable, evil loses, good reigns. But Giselle wasn't the damsel, it was Robert LOL. Narissa decided to drop by and somehow morphed into a dragon. They should know that evil witch-dragons are so last millenia. You should have guessed the ending. But there are other parts that I shouldn't tell. (: Overall, it's a Disney movie, but with more class and style with a twist. Always fitting for people of all ages. It's great fun (although things get rather impossible sometimes) and I did enjoyed it. Just exclude the annoying rodent. LOL. I give it 6.5/10. (:

Christmas list

2007-12-14T07:47:00.000+08:00

Really.....I saw Victoria's list and was sorely tempted to write one of my own. XD I am sooooooooooo unoriginal. In theory.

1. Okami Official Complete Works (Artbook)

2. Kimono (I know I'd never get this. Ever.)

3. Corpse Bride doll, from Jun Planning (she's gorgeous, I tell you! Handmade gown! <33)

4. Copic markers? :O

(I don't think I can wish for an iBook because I am already getting one right?)

5. Perhaps a necklace or a choker? Not too picky. But there's the design to consider.

6. A bag charm? LOL

7. Shoes. I don't know how to describe how it looks like exactly, but my mum keeps telling me to get a pair of.......shoes.

8. Yin's dress, complete with the black cardigan (whatever you call it). I would have love to wear that assemble to prom. Sigh.
9. The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak.

I'm so amazed with myself. There's hardly any books there. Two? LoL. Because I don't really have much books on my mind right now, excluding those that are yet to be published.

Yin.

The doll <3>

Lastly, this has nothing ( I mean nothing) to do with Christmas.

LOL!!!

This is emo with style. :D

HUNGRY.

2007-12-14T07:46:00.000+08:00

Doesn't it make you feel?

MCR! and driving seminar

2007-12-13T13:03:00.000+08:00

My Chemical Romance rocked the stadium, really. We all did enjoy ourselves, if you could exclude the part before the concert where we all had to crowd around the gate as listed on our respective tickets. Malaysians, however how courteous they are, simply refuse to show that trait of theirs and chose to be extremely pushy, literally. We were like squashed tuna being shoved between two conveyor belts or something. And were tempers running high! We were held up to the extent that the guest artists (doesn't matter, but HEY) began to perform while we were still outside. And the guards wanted to check each and every single one of us. A few people decided to climb up the ladder leading to a water tank, earning a standing ovation (as we're all standing already) from us innocent bystanders. Well, most of us were innocent. Pushing won't get you anywhere! Me and Ee May were standing like flamingoes for several moments. It wasn't pleasant, obviously, and they are making matters worse by adding their own sweat and cigarette smoke to the commotion. But overall, the concert was good, the band thrilled us all and all went well. Can say so, I guess.

Can't say the same for driving. Not only do we have to travel to some weird, exempted from civilization, misty-Genting-ish, foresty, driving centre where the only cars seemed to be cars from the centre, the guy who was supposed to be picking us up at 4pm + ended up getting us at 5pm+ and getting me home at 8pm. How did that happen, you ask? The horror.

Wheeee

2007-12-10T04:32:00.000+08:00

I had one of the best nights in KL ever! :) It's great Really, lol. I finally get to meet Victoria and her family. They are all really kind and nice, I feel so flattered. Naturally, we couldn't stop talking! XD We went on and on-even while eating at TGI in the Pavillion! Our drinks arrived later than our food, which was saying something. We were so full in the end that we have to cancel our dessert!

THANK YOU for the food :) I feel so bad actually.

Then there was their hotel room! I've never been in the JW Marriot before, and I find it a tad bit creepy along the corridor. Haha. We played PS2! Bleach: Blade Battlers 2! Omg, it was so fun. My preferred characters are Ulquiorra and Byakuya. I mean, hey, they are the best to me. Some others were pretty slow. Hitsugaya was pretty ok, but Rukia was rather lame (sorry Cindi!) She was not only in the school uniform, she couldn't shunpo either! I have to do ban kai then only she can do it, plus wearing shinigami attire. When I move the right joystick (shunpo key) while she is in uniform, she rolls. I think.

Anyway, thanks for the night, Victoria, I enjoyed it so much. Can't wait for you to come again!

Movies :)

Spiderwick Chronicles, 15th February 2008

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, May 16th 2008

Masterpiece or not, Prince Caspian is sooooooo gay. And did you realise that guy with the sword shouted 'Narnia' again like in the first movie? Goodness, these people sure are patriotic.

A weekend full

2007-12-07T04:59:00.000+08:00

Of excitement, really. My weekend is booked to the fullest. On friday, I am heading to The One Academy to register for January intake. And to imagine, next year (until I can drive) I will be taking bus and LRT to and fro. Sounds cool, but it's rather nervewracking. And on saturday, I'm meeting Victoria! Finally! We've been chatting online forever.

And sunday there's the My Chemical Romance concert. =) Plus the Golden Compass releases today!

Lauranne is back! I can't wait to catch up with you; it's been a long time, literally.

My computer is really lagging lately-and it's confirmed that viruses are lurking around. So I won't be around much.

Lastly:

MEOW. <3>

Handle a book with gloves. lol

2007-11-30T04:55:00.000+08:00

J. K. Rowling reportedly gave six of seven copies of her limited edition book Tales of Beedle the Bard to friends. No comment, but hey I do believe the rest of the world has a right to read it? And there's a video of a talk show (the book being the star, obviously) where the hosts had to actually handle the book with gloves. They said that we can't see the pages because it's a very 'privileged item'. Okay, okay, I am sure we all got that by now. The way they hold it, and turn the pages, it's like this old manuscript from Da Vinci. Think Angels and Demons.

Blogging out

2007-11-28T08:00:00.000+08:00

I am currently blogging on my cousin Jason's laptop in his house. Actually, we are waiting to be fetched over to the Pavilion where there will be this grand launching of the new GSC cinema there. And guess what-Jason is going to play an Alien! As in the Alien Versus Predator. Yes, that one. I have seen the pictures, and the alien suit looks very.....rubbery. But it's passable I guess. And Jason is saying that he gets paid very little..but he is there for the experience-and cash.

Class party!

2007-11-28T05:37:00.000+08:00

Should be able to make it, I think. Since it's in the evening towards night. :)

Oh.

2007-11-27T13:53:00.000+08:00

It's over. Finally over. I can't really imagine that it's over. Time to move on, I guess. Then suddenly, the supposedly 'best things' that could possibly happen to someone like me just falls from the sky. Literally. SPM is over. Whee. Then we decided to sign up for Astro. Quite a good thing, because I never had Astro. And there's the idea of a Playstation2. I want it, but I know I most probably won't get it. Because I am the only one (no surprise) rooting for it and (maybe it's true) that I won't have time to play it next year. But if others can, why can't I? Technically, if I want it, I have to forgo Astro. Well, I am all up for it. But evidently, everyone isn't with me, so I am pretty much rowing a sinking boat, in theory.

Why do some people get to have the best of both worlds?

Why on earth....the heck......crap......... meh.

**Try not to mind the images at the beginning and the end.

2 more days to go!

2007-11-23T09:33:00.000+08:00

And lastly this. Just watch, it's really funny and cute! :) Jack Black, what'd you expect?

o.o

2007-11-16T10:05:00.000+08:00

Oh, thank you thank you for all your wishes! :) SPM is pretty okay so far (except History was killer) and I'm wishing for the best next week because it's where our horrible science papers are out.

I've a good idea on the dress I want to wear for prom! Now finding it is a problem.

-

2007-11-11T13:45:00.000+08:00

Okay, so I'm going for prom. But scourging for a prom dress isn't easy, and looking up ideas online isn't easy either. Oh, dear. And there's SPM, in which we all can't wait to be rid of.

SPM is in 4 days.

2007-11-08T21:49:00.000+08:00

And I'm still blogging, hoho. I'm tired. Just got back from Ikano after having dinner at Ikea. And then a round of studying. And this. Sigh.

It's so moving. The music, the lyrics, everything. I will always be hooked onto this song. Rie Fu's songs are my type of heroine. :)

I'm currently Youtube-ing.

THIS is cute.

2007-11-08T13:21:00.000+08:00

What do you know.

2007-11-07T05:43:00.000+08:00

Yew Weng gave me spyware. Sweet. Not just me, actually.

Stressing out

2007-11-06T05:28:00.000+08:00

I'm not recovering from my flu-or whatever it is. It's getting extremely irate, what more with the idea of SPM looming closer-nix that-really close now seeing that November 12 isn't exactly 1 month away any longer. I'm currently dreading the idea of sitting for my exams-while blowing my nose like a foghorn amidst the silence. D: D'you know how embarassing it is? With SPM in such close proximity I couldn't afford to get sick-so much for that idea. Currently praying to get well asap, for the Copics to arrive from Japan asap, for the Okami artbook to get published asap...I think that's about it.

Meanwhile, there's this really funny Bleach photoshoot by behindinfinity that I want to share. She is an incredibly talented cosplayer. To know more about the Bleach casual photoshoot she and her friends are working on, click on this link here.

post graduation feelings

2007-11-05T02:15:00.000+08:00

I don't feel like I've left school or anything. Maybe it's that government exam-in which we still have to go back to school to take it. As we arrange the tables last friday for the big day, it feels like being 15 years old again. That felt like millions of years back.

Anyway, S.O.S! D; I went to Kinokuniya yesterday, and they didn't have the Copics that I want!! Apparently ordering takes at least two months and I need to finish and pass up my college things during December. Erm, HELP.

graduation tomorrow!

2007-11-02T03:36:00.000+08:00

YES. *gasps*

What else can I say? We're going from seniors to ex-form 5s! The elation right now cannot be described in mere words; it's too profound. :)

Hmm.

2007-10-25T02:56:00.000+08:00

Hong has done the unthinkable: (maybe not so unthinkable because others got there already)

Playing ps1 games on his pc!

This means that ps2 games may work on the computer after all. Okami! <333

D: (points)

sick D:

2007-10-25T02:49:00.000+08:00

I had a fever last night and now I've got a sorethroat. Sigh. At least I get to escape Bio today, but apart from that, nothing good. Been doing additional maths. Grr. Rie Fu's new single is supposed to be releasing today but Japan time is slower than Malaysian time. Grrr.

Gasp

2007-10-23T09:18:00.000+08:00

Happy 17th Birthday Hwee Lynn! I bought you something and you didn't turn up. Nevermind, get well soon okay? :)

Still no school magazine in sight. Come on, are you people serious in keeping it from us in an attempt to make us come to school? Very, very lame, but who are we to go against the rules. Oh well. I must've said it a thousand times. Why is everything I'm searching for so difficult to possess? Or am I too picky? Let's stick with the second one. I may be too picky. For my own good. And things aren't brightening up. But I must count my lucky stars and thank God for what I have. In fact, I've been doing some deep thinking lately (before I fall asleep and when I woke up) and I really appreciate myself, my life, my family, my...stuff? That's rather irrelevant.

When the drama series 1 Litre of Tears came to a close, you can put it this way-I've become a slightly different person. As if high school hasn't made me a different person already! :) But I've changed, ever so slightly, perhaps even unnoticeable. But if you do notice, so much the better. My wishlist was well...considerably more before I started nixing off stuff since this year. I can't even remember what I cancelled off, and I don't keep a written list. It's all in here. *taps head* Can't be too greedy right? Avarice will be your fall. Or any other of the Seven Deadly Sins. I am more to Sloth, to be precise. Laziness. But back to the topic, I do feel even more thankful that I am here, whole and well, you know. Watching Aya's short journey through life and how she continues to thrive and live life to the fullest struck a chord in me. I was deeply moved by the courage the character showed through the series and I'm sure, the real person was a real fighter. We kept craving for what we don't have, yet Kitou Aya wakes up every day to feel grateful that she is still alive to live another day.

That courage she possesses...is something that I'll never have. Perhaps in the face of illness (touch wood) it comes naturally, the instinct to fight for survival. You never know, anything can happen tomorrow right? Fate is so sporadic, or is that even the word? It's so unpredictable, so unknown. Like the universe.

So...I should just try not to want so much stuff, and just do my add maths or search for some Copics to complete my portfolio. Urgh. See? Distracted already.

Sunday.

2007-10-22T07:41:00.000+08:00

Yikes. Dumbledore is gay. J.K. Rowling says so. But it isn't going to change anything. We still love him. And will honor his memory.

I still want a scarf.

24 Season 6 Pilot.

2007-10-21T00:40:00.000+08:00

Omg. 24 season 6 began yesterday. And it started off with a big BANG. D:
There are a few things that was well, cool.

Wayne Palmer (I think) is now President!
Chloe got a new hairstyle. :)
Her ex-husband Morris is working in CTU. So cute, having to work together.
Bill Buchanan looks older. Whoops, I mean, got a haircut.
Woot! Karen Hayes from Homeland Security is married (engaged?) to Bill! :) Super sweet. The camera focused on Karen's ring!

That was the best of the episode. There were some horrid things that jumped up all through the way.

Chloe seems so depressed. And when she heard about the operation concerning Jack she was so distraught. :(
Jack was to be sacrificed. Sounds like nonsense, but it's true.
You can see the pain on Bill's face.
Jack looked like a castaway on an island when he was brought back from China. That sounds abit tame actually.
Urgh. Some freak seriously tortured Jack. And it was ugly, D:
The whole operation was one waste of time.

Well, at least we have something to cheer about:
Jack got himself out, and he is BACK. :)

luff

2007-10-20T05:33:00.000+08:00

By any chance, is Darker than BLACK releasing an artbook? Hei is just too hot. :)

A japanese restaurant in the hotel.

Pretty lights I

Pretty lights II - they actually turn a different shade of colour.

Acts of boredom II xD

Birds. LOL

cute dragons. weird movie.

2007-10-19T03:56:00.000+08:00

I don't get the flitting between modern day New York and thousands of years ago.

And the Bourne Ultimatum rocks. Alot. Very.

Tuesday.

2007-10-16T13:01:00.000+08:00

Even cats surf. Lol.

Because of Hari Raya, we get a whole week of holiday. Sweet. No excuse to study.

I am still madly in love with Okami. Very very. Unconditionally and irrevocably. Because it's so incredibly, flawlessly beautiful! It's the first time I had ever feel so attracted to any video game. Ironically, I have no PS2 to begin with. D: Saddest thing that ever happened to me. So I am (not so) patiently awaiting the arrival of the (celestial, holy, SACRED) Okami Artbook, which according to Kinokuniya-checked with them on Sunday-will arrive this month. Well, publications' been delayed. Yikes.

I'm checking out the latest Bleach PS2 video game. It's called Bleach: Blade Battlers 2. I think. Omg, there's some pratty gay music playing on the site-why does the Bleach people learn not to add gay-heroic-manly music in their anime?? I know, I know, it's awfully guy-ish of me, but whatever, I needn't any palm reading or finger reading to tell me that I've got more Y Chromosomes than X to begin with. If that is even true. But I think so. And there's even the question why am I fawning over Playstation 2 games when I don't have the vital key-the game console.

So gaya, right? xD It's a cosplay contest for Darker than BLACK. The winner, duh. The rest just doesn't cut. The dude's blog is here.

Why is Grimmjow so unbelievably irritating? One of his special moves in the game involves showing some Menos Grande breaking through a chasm in the sky (?) and firing a cero (I think.) and with him laughing maniacally (or rather, pointlessly) in the background. It's so exhausting to stroke his ego; something I stopped ages ago. And his hair. It's...greenish. Why is that? Why that peculiar, abnormal hue? Ulquiorra is still cute, overlooking the fact that he's been MIA for awhile. But I'm quite prepared to blow up if he doesn't make an appearance in the manga soon. Nell, just get it over with it and stop giving Noitora face. He's such a creep.

I want a scarf. A sudden need. But it's not as strong as the need for the Artbook. That, I wannttt. D: Going to send another email to Kinokuniya now. :)

Nahahahaha.

PS: Victoria, miss you, really. :( Can't wait to chat with you online again.

Updates, lol

2007-10-16T00:52:00.000+08:00

Omg! Yes! A new, real cute guy for me to dream about. But first...

It's due this Christmas. :) And it looks beautifully done, not comparable to LOTR, but it's great, you know, to give it it's due since it's from a book. Lately all book-movies seems to be failing miserably.

Yay, it's Kyle Patrick from the Click Five! Do you have any idea how hard it is to scrounge a solo image of him? The other band members weren't so keen on letting him hog a single shot it see. New leader singer, :) He's really cute, and soo innocent. Cheri Loh is high.

He's comparable to Allen, no? :)))))))))))

Click......Three? Or Click Exorcist? xD

Disclaimer: Of course I don't own those pictures.

Naruto chapter 374

2007-10-15T04:02:00.000+08:00

Pain (or Pein, whatever) is being a total wacko, if not just some purely sadistic, masochistic character who simply relishes the idea of 'growing up in a world of pain' and having some 'godly personality crisis'.

Oh, come on.

I've seen so much of those god-related stuff (pardon me) but none of them succeeded, really. Whether be it personal, or just intending to rid the world of sins according to the Bible (hint hint, a particular nutter by the name of Tobias, from a particular tv series (Charles, Raphael, wimpo)

Anyway, trash him up, Jiraiya. I support you over the upcoming election(s) anytime. :) *waves flag showing Jiraiya's colors*

:)

2007-10-15T03:51:00.000+08:00

Today's a very special day. Not for me, but for:

Victoria!

Happy Birthday! :) Just enjoy your day and make the best out of everything. *hugs*

PS: Sorry, couldn't get you a present, and I'm not the earliest to wish you :(

(insert title here)

2007-10-13T04:01:00.000+08:00

Dear, I'm so bored. I actually thought of studying Bio again. D: But it's boring as well, and that figure portrait I'm supposed to be working on looks like a joke. Sweet life. It's Shwu Meei's birthday today, so allow me to wish her first: Happy sweet 16th! Being a year younger has its privileges, although I've yet to figure out what are they. So many people celebrate their birthdays this month! I know I've missed Kim's birthday on Oct 6, and there's Victoria on 14th Oct, Hwee Lynn on 22nd Oct and Kenalicious on 17th Oct. Wow. Everybody's getting older. Time is really flying. In exactly a month we will be taking our SPM exam. Bummer, but I can't wait to enroll myself in college and start a new life. Doing something I really enjoy doing, apart from writing of course. Pn. Koh told me not to give up on writing, and neither will I :) But I can't be an author for life, right? And art also fascinates me, so I will go as far as I can go.

I'm really eager to relinquish my hold on 2007. Really. Because so many things happened this year (including SPM, obviously) I just want to head on, move on. I am not sorry or sad whatsoever. High school is going to be the past soon enough, and I am gleefully counting down my days. I can't wait for my forecast results. And my leaving school certificate. I won't feel entirely secured until I've confirmed a spot in The One Academy for the January intake. Yes, I'm really determined to evade N.S., and so is Kah Shin, because we all don't want to go for it. Judging by my most recent misfortune, I swear I will die there, if I were to go, which is NEVER.

Somehow Blogger won't post pictures for me. I've tried. And tried. Trying again. Darker than BLACK has ended two weeks ago and my Friday is oddly hanging. At least there's 24 to look forward to in the night.

No 1 Litre of Tears tomorrow. First day of Raya. But 8tv is airing Chinese programmes. Sweet. And there's the current hype about our first astronaut in space! Along with two other lucky ones. I didn't catch the live telecast though. Malaysia must be immensely proud, bursting with pride. But we're sort of divided into two: money well spent, or money just plain wasted? It takes RM100 million to send one guy into space, and some people grudgingly commented that such a considerable sum of money could be put to better use. Hmm, what do you think?

No tuition tomorrow either. Great. I was looking forward to that too. Will the first day of Raya be eventful, or just another day of boredom (cue: studies)? I think it's the second option. Because what other choice do we have? It's there, looming before us, coming faster than ever. So better prepare ourselves, I guess.

Phew. Time for a meme I found on Livejournal. I'm not tagging anybody, because if you want to do it, just do it! (Nike, haha)

2007-10-10T03:35:00.000+08:00

Listening to: Anata ga koko ni iru riyuu, Rie Fu

So much for Resident Evil. D: I watched it with Julian and Hwee Lynn on Saturday. We first had dinner at Dave's Deli. Maybe it was my weak stomach or just the wrong choice of food because it appeared that the lasagna I ordered wasn't cooked to what it was supposed to be. So halfway through the movie (it was really fine, and Alice was being plain cool) I started to feel...sick. That pre-puking feeling. Coincidentally the movie was on one of its 'too sick' moments, so I assumed that it was the movie. And the next day I was feeling pain as in, serious pain DD: So it was food poisoning. Horrible. And I'm not going the entire week. If only I could sue.

And on a more happy note:
Happy 17th birthday May Kuan! :) Enjoy~ <3

It's the new opening and ending sequence. I have no clue who the band is for the opening, but the singer at the end is Rie Fu. Duh. I worship her song notes. :) The opening crashed and burned D: I mean, the song! What am I supposed to be listening to? The 2nd opening from Darker than BLACK sounds alot better. Sigh.... guess that we can't have the best of both worlds.

Dominant Introverted Thinking
INTP & ISTPWhat is it like?

By Danielle Poirier www.RebelEagle.com
© copyright Rebel Eagle Productions

Rodin's Thinker is introverted. Here these thinkers ponder the apparent chaos of the world in order to extract from it the universal truths and principles that can be counted on. These principles, once extracted, will provide the logical structure on which to build strategies.

They have a finely nuanced ability to analyse situations, find root causes and foresee consequences. They distrust action taken too quickly without the necessary investigation. They are usually levelheaded, objective, impersonal yet intensely involved in problem solving. They are fiercely independent, seeking input and comments from a chosen few. When reporting to others, they need to establish credibility first: their own and that of the person they are reporting to. If the gap in knowledge and expertise is too great and their own proficiency dismissed, belittled or ignored, they will lose interest and motivation.

They are less interested in running the world as they are in understanding it. They are curious and capable of explaining complex political, economic or technological problems, taking great pleasure in explaining all the factors and intricacies. They are rigorous with their thoughts and analysis, choosing the exact words that convey precisely what is meant. They may spend a lot of time defining words, concepts and systems in order to define a problematic solution.

They are armchair detectives, scientists and philosophers, spending most of their time in quiet reflection to ponder truth, and solve mysteries. They may tend to neglect social requirements and responsibilities, finding many relationships to be too superficial to be of much interest.
--------------
Actually there are many types of tests around the Internet; just Google the test name (see above) and you may get a couple of results.

Was at Wan Li's house yesterday for a party. Mooncake party? O_o I didn't know it was this huge! It's like a homecoming dinner! O: With caterers (and cendol + satay vendors) The food rocks, Wan Li! Arigato so much :) It's great.

I was the only girl among the guys. Good and bad. It was okay until Haw Yang came along. =_= I felt like I was at the table of Wrong. I mean, we were so unbelievably noisy! And the things we talked about...okay.

Comment on quiz results: I had no idea.

Victoria, Hwee Lynn and May Kuan celebrates their birthday this month! :)

Reid.

2007-09-26T08:44:00.000+08:00

Well, yeah I am so in love with him. (points above) And yesterday's episode makes me love him even more.

._. Allow me some quiet moment.

Oh, another week of exams and I'll be declared mentally unstable. I am rereading all my novels again (ZOMG) which probably explains why I'd managed to quote the book sometimes. Shocking, I know.

Clinging onto life-and Criminal Minds

2007-09-19T08:40:00.000+08:00

Something is lurking in our computer right now and it's under the radar too. All our anti-vrus stuff won't pick it up-how advanced is this thing?

Updates:
I did okay I guess, in my trials. I scraped enough Credits to enter my college of choice.
I am so hooked on Criminal Minds right now. It's terrific! I watch it at first to compensate for my lack of CSI-fandom. Because it's a crime solving show. But then later on, I realized that the show has got their own way of attraction with their different way of nailing unsubs (suspect). I think unsub stands for unknown subject. Should be. And there's a new guy I have taken a certain fondness to-if you haven't noticed my previous post. Dr. Spencer Reid (or rather, Matthew Gray Gubler the actor) is simply so cute and geeky :D. I like goofy men. And he can always bedazzle me with his sudden outbursts of random trivia. <3 everything about him is love.

:D

2007-09-09T01:08:00.000+08:00

I should stop using that icon above. But I have a new 'real' obsession because anime characters can be pretty reliable. (I mean, I used- I repeat, used-to like Itachi and he sudden goes AWOL and never came back after a millenia.)

Check him out. (that's a link) :D Oh, there I go again. But he's really cute. :3 Makes me want to hug him.

Very very cute.

2007-09-06T09:19:00.000+08:00

It's true! Watch this trailer and you will want to hug the tiny creature. <333

(sharing is caring)

2007-09-05T09:06:00.000+08:00

Yup. I am sharing this video for all-even though I have never read the books myself. Only airing in Singapore for now, that's what I know. THanks Victoria! (:

Steaming :O

2007-09-04T09:11:00.000+08:00

Whoa. (Takes book to shield self from the heat) It's airbrushed but I don't care. They all look so hot, my monitor's melting. Lynette rocks. Indepedent women! :)

Picture is from here.

Hungry.

2007-09-03T20:47:00.000+08:00

I am quite famished.

Ratatouille! It's fantastic, the movie is cute, anything else? I am sorely tempted to try some right now.

So much for trying to catch my dad asleep.

Pasta disguised in risotto. Yummers.

My latest addition to my wishlist is...........

A Sony VAIO C series in Glacier Blue. <333

This one below isn't relatively new; I even wonder if it's still available out there.

A gorgeous 16-inch Corpse Bride doll with a hand sewn wedding gown! ('A')/

And I just checked the site...and apparently they do! I am so buying it if it's in stock next year.

*Gasps* The dolls are so freakishly beautiful...I've got tears in my eyes.

My remaining stuff includes

A kimono. (furisode?)
An antique (genuine) Japanese fan.
An iguana (the cute little things. <333)
Copic markers-the set!

Gone a bit off, I think. Gerak Gempur the whole week! Bleh.

Victoria: How'd you do your er, header? I would like to try. xD I seek your advice, sifu lol

ROFLMAO

2007-09-02T08:19:00.000+08:00

Some 'holiday' it was yesterday. At least I get to go to Midvalley (just to read the book The Red Dahlia) and miracles of miracles, found myself the ideal frames! :D And today as if to signify the urgency of changing my glasses (I couldn't make out the words on the Starbucks menu) one of the nose-things that supposedly supports your glasses on your nose bridge fell out. I was washing my glasses and I felt the unmistakable feeling of something slipping through my fingers. So when I turned off the tap (D:) it was somewhere down the pipe, gushing downwards already. Yucko, but that's my er, nose-thing! (screams)

My dad affixed one of the old ones from my old spare glasses onto my current glasses temporarily. Now one is more yellow than the other. Urgh.

Me and Cindi decided to entertain ourselves yesterday-by looking up some hilarious videos on Youtube! :) And needless to say, they were funny, too funny that I cried out of mirth. Hem.

Presenting the Verizon commercial for Pirates of the Caribbean! It's like those odd DiGi commercials except Jack is delivering the humor with some other guy.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest bloopers! :P This is just too funny that it's just unbearable for my stomach. If you saw this show, it's a must to see this. My *hem cough* DVD had a portion of it but it wasn't the complete version. Get the picture?

Sorry the continuos Pirate rant. This last one above is on a joke that someone apparently spotted in the full length trailer. Watch and see. But I'd recommend the bloopers most.

Happy 50th Birthday Malaysia! :)

Yes! Malaysia turns 50 this year! And here are the results for two quizzes I took lately.

You scored as English/Journalism/Comm, You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Communication, English, Film, Journalism, Literature, or Writing.

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

I always had the feeling that I would get some innocent-character as a result. I mean, look at me in real life! D:

All smiles :)

2007-08-24T13:17:00.000+08:00

My dad took me to HELP today. For career counselling. The college looks pretty decent. I think the whole session was very effective. It helped (no pun intended) me to figure out certain things required to chose your career in life. The few things that matter are family, finance, interest, and values. I think.

Family is the support given by your parents and family members. It could also mean that you can get insight into the career you want by asking relatives who are in the particular industry.

Finance is obviously money. All the courses are so awfully expensive, you need at least a modest bit of savings to go around.

Interest is the passion! :) Also another prominent factor. And I am sure everyone knows this well. Play to your strengths, right?

Values is the most crucial point, to me. I was asked to make a list of all the things that matter most to me in life, whether it be money, family, or fame etc. The career counsellor told me to list them down (10 of them maximum) and consider which one is the top priority in my life. The order of arrangement of this list will play an important role in determining my future. O:

Next, I watched Ratatouille with WanLi, Nicklaus, Kelvin and Ethan. :) It was a blast! Although I didn't know how to play poker (bet I'd kill all of you instead) the movie was cool. Remy was soooo cute! <33 size="4">this means that I will be skipping National Service. Is it possible? O: I am trying my best to get the most acceptable forecast results now. Grr. Gambatte? Thanks Victoria! :) At least I won't need to move out and rent a room in Cyberjaya because that was my dad's original idea if I were to study at LimKokWing. I admit that I'm not ready to live alone yet.

watchmewatchu: me and Julian are talking again. through sms, but it still counts. you seem to know alot about Julian. does he know who you are?

I need a sunrise...

2007-08-21T04:12:00.000+08:00

...Because I'm tired of the sunset. (quoting Boston, Augustana)

Wanli (on your comment on the road post): So true so true! :)

I really need a break from everything. O.o There's just so much to take in, to absorb this year. I mean, I know this year was never going to be a bed of roses, but this year sucks.

Watchmewatchu: I appreciate your actions for standing up for Julian(if you really aren't Julian) and your (rather haphazard) accusation that I locked my blog because of that issue. I did it, because I just couldn't accept the fact that I got selected for National Service! Well now I am already over the matter, and I'm quite fine with it now. Sorry if i'm too harsh.

So muddled and confused now. ):

Thank you

2007-08-17T09:10:00.000+08:00

Arigato people! :) To all those who have given me words of support and comfort just to calm me down enough to face National Service. Which is, I am pretty much cooled down already. Because there's exams to fret about first. I am pretty sure I did rather horrible for Physics and Chemistry II. I am hoping paper III will be much better, please. Bio II today was well...not easy, but not hard either. I mean, manageable. (I think).

Yes, the exams has droven me sick. *sobs* Unbelievable, ain't it? I get sick every time there's an exam.

Holidays are next week. Thank God. I couldn't put up with another strenous week.

Aqua Timez's new single, Alones. It's not relatively new, it's just that the video is. And it's all about love and (weird sneakers animation)! It's really sweet, but I don't get the whole...basement carpark location. :O It's so dark I can't see their faces.

I realised that I need to go searching for shoes. It's just a sudden dawn of apprehension, so to put it. Because I have been wearing the same old sandals for years.

ZOMG, you so DON'T own him man! O: Get away.

Back? Not really.

2007-08-14T10:01:00.000+08:00

Thank you, Wan Li and Ethan for commenting and giving me advice. :) Yes, I'll definitely maintain friendships, it's just that certain things can't be helped, like a vampire-bite. OMG Edward Cullen *faints*

Pardon my sudden fangirl moment.

Well, after my emo-ing on Friday and the whole weekend, I won't say I have fully recovered (or accepted) the solid fact that I'm really going for NS. It's so strange, having been praying literally all year round not to get it only to have it all rebounded upon me. Huh. 'Impaled upon my own sword', as quoted by Dumbledore in Chamber, to Gilderoy Lockhart.

No, I'm still not over it. Pei Fang, I feel your pain O: And it's going to take awhile. Thanks, Jason, for your very (?) advice. Cousins' advice are greatly appreciated, especially from you. <3

I'm using 1 Litre of Tears as my, er...way to hold on, inspire and just lighten the whole atmosphere and anything. Aya said that it's a beautiful thing to be alive, so I guess I'm lucky enough to be healthy, alive, yes. I may write something inspired by that soon. :)

They are patching over the whole road in front of my house and it STINKS.

Dreams be

2007-08-10T03:51:00.000+08:00

Dreams Be
Tsukiakari / Moonlight

If I still love the way it goes
And if you still believe in me as before

I feel alive in middle tone
If you still believe that you will stay here in my heart
But I want it to stay
I will stay free
(It’s just a simple chord like this)

I feel as though you’ve flown away
Inside it’s reality that nothing’s here to stay
But I want it to stay
I keep pulling your sleeve
There is always somewhere solid for me
(No, but I can’t stay here anymore)
The day is gone and gone
Comin’ here again and again
Too many times for I had longed for you
Can’t see the point of dreaming, so I’ll just let it go

Once in a lifetime you will see, the day will come to me
Today I still watch the stars
Together our future lies (And again)

I feel as though it’s over me
But I still believe that I will stay there in your heart
Oh I can’t let it stay, it’s over me
No, I can’t stay here anymore
The day is gone and gone
Can’t stay here anymore
Oh it’s just a simple chord like this
So just let it go

Lyrics from Frecklegirl's Rie Fu lyrics.
It's a lovely song. :) I like Rie Fu; she's currently my favourite artiste. Her songs are light, easy, and jazzy enough to listen to during any time of the day.

Apologies

2007-08-10T03:46:00.000+08:00

Watchmewatchu:

I am sorry for ignoring you. But still, you shouldn't have uttered those profound words. It's painful to hear things like that about your own family. I am sure you would understand. I know my friends are extremely important-I know that very well. I, the introvert, really depended on my friends to get me where I am today. I need their company, their support, so how could I not value my friends, like you for instance? I do, but my family has to come first. And I suppose I am quite sensitive in nature. I can't really change (thought I have tried) myself, but I have a tendency to cool off after a short period of time, so it's all a thing of the past. I feel very bad, in truth. For not speaking to you. But the first few days since that incident I was still too wrapped up with it to really talk about it. Now, I am fine, everything's over. I got over it quite some time ago. So yes, I am really sorry.

Surprise, surprise

2007-08-10T03:27:00.000+08:00

First surprise!

My essay Bless the Broken Road got published in the Star, Stuff@School!

I am seriously elated right now :) It happened yesterday, actually. I just returned to class from Biology and Nicklaus, Kelvin were flipping through the N.I.E. section. And I happen to see my story's title. When I got a better look, it was! OMMGGGGGG *screams* 8D And they said that they pay those whose works get picked!

You can read it here. :)

Second surprise!
I just realise that two of my classmates blog as well but they are so underground. Yes. Zean, Dominic, you guys should tell me so I can read yours in my free time! :) I prefer to read my friends' blogs than popular blogs, i.e. XiaXue. I don't loathe her to the extent of joining her hate club or wearing I Hate XiaXue badges on the street, but I don't like her blogging style and her blog content. I can tolerate friends who are camwhores (their antics drive me insane with laughter: Kenalicious and Victoria!). XiaXue embellishes everything about herself. Sorry if any XiaXue followers reads this. No, this isn't a hate post about her. Just a comment about her blog. I saw a post (when my sister was using the pc) on her insulting another blogger who seems just the same as her. I have no right to say anything, so I will leave it here.

If everyone can say stuff, I can too, right? As long as we don't say explicit/rude/offending things to the opposing parties.

I'm getting Eclipse soon! :)

It's fantastic news, but I had to balance my time properly. My English essay paper (paper 1) is tomorrow. I am not overly confident but neither am I nervous.

OMG.

2007-08-08T09:22:00.000+08:00

Eclipse is out! Well, looking at Malaysian time, at least. I am so buying it...after my trials.

I really don't feel like typing so much now

2007-08-07T09:41:00.000+08:00

I nearly failed to make up this morning. Because I am very much a dreamer whose head gets stuck up in the clouds too often in a way that it's difficult to get me down. (: I am not being perasan or dramatically poetic-it's just the way I describe things.

This picture made me roar out loud.

Victoria: Wow, I take it that you adored those illustrations! Because I do. (: Edward Cullen is simply smoking. No problem! *hugs* It's pleasure to spread the Edward love. <333 And once again thanks for those gorgeous photos of your very wonderful house!! You just made my day too!! *hugs again* It's the first time I knew houses comes with lifts O: Everything is so gorgeous. I take it that it's quite expensive? :)

My neighborhood has dog mafia. It's like the Godfather: Canines. I've seen two chase my neighbor (who was on a bike) into the drain. He fell in head first, and that was many many years ago. No action was taken; you can say I was surprised. You would've thought the owner would've learned a lesson by now. Haha. Back to the present there's this black bitch that has the nerve to chase people who crosses its path. I heard that she bites. O: If she ever comes near our rabbit I'd grab that long, black, rusty metal scissors my mum keeps outside and (insert readable sentence here). Pleasurable meaning: I'd ask Ulquiorra to ban kai it. (:

Tickle. My dad thought it was a cockcroach when I laid it on his head. (: Priceless reaction! They gave these out at KLCC when we bought HP7.

My collection of FiRST Magazine! Singapore does it best. (:

Every series of books I have is bound to have an 'Ugly Duckling'. But this is a beautiful one. <3

Random shot: my phone strap. XD

Our new beanbag! It's red, and it's shaped that way because I sat on it X)

Ahh...it's getting so weary just to upload photos.

Sugar-pancake-corn-crepe! :) It's delicious when it's freshly made.

Question to ponder over.

2007-08-05T15:21:00.000+08:00

Ethan asked me:

does it feel weird to hv guys calling u cheri wen u noe that it means beloved?

think abt it...

Honestly, I have never thought of it! O: What do you think?

Photo post

2007-08-05T13:44:00.000+08:00

Picture from Wikipedia.

I am (finally) following Ichi Rittoru No Namida, or 1 Litre of Tears. I know, Jason and Yi Shen told me about it ages ago, but I didn't take the liberty to find out until 8tv aired the pilot episode today. It was originally a novel, by a person who really went through this ordeal.

The following are old pictures taken during our trip to Taiping for my cousin's wedding.

The groom. Ehehe. His wife was super kind, taking this photo for us. :)

Deco on my other cousin's car. They used his car for the wedding.

Specially for ZhiLin. XD Skeleton of a monkey at the Taiping Zoo.

Specially for WanLi. :) Read for yourself!

Narnia. Just kidding.

PS: Yes, Victoria, you can marry Malfoy, but allow me to be your bridesmaid okay? :)

Taking a break from studying, actually. I have no book to read now! ): Eclipse better hurry up and make it's run in Malaysia here. My friends keep telling me that I'm rather oblivious to fashion trends, apart from those I see in the newspapers. Yes, it's true. Cheri Loh doesn't really bother about it.

Victoria, I miss talking to you ): I miss those times when we'd share our crazy interests, which we had so much in common.

I'm browsing through this site called Fashion Trendsetter. Link it, if you want-I did. It's so weird doing this-it's like surfing porn for me. In a way of speech.

This looks wearable.

This doesn't. Utensils, honestly.

This looks nice, and oddly familiar.

Hallowmere: O_O Saw this ad on Yahoo. But that's the thing about ads right? It looks like a detective game to solve a murder mystery.
