End of Year and 50th Post

Yoz, the people who come and don't tag. This is going to be the last post of the year. As well as the 50th post on this blog. So 1 year 50 posts. 2 years 100 posts. Cool. But slow. It's been quite a year. More downs than ups. So many lessons learnt. I really don't want to go through the downs. But finally the debt has been settled. Yay. The only ups were... The anime conventions I went to!!! Of course results, new class, blah blah blah... I haven't recieved my high jump trophy yet... Jumped 1.50m. I won, yet I didn't. Haiz... I haven't talked about it yet hor? So I'll just say it right now.

Wee. I jumped over 1.45m. So did Joseph. Then was 1.50m. I did it!!! On the 3rd try. But he didn't. Lowered to 1.48m. He did it. 1.49m. He did it. 1.50m. He managed to pass!!! Wtf. Not fair. More tries than me. 1.51m. I couldn't. Zzz. He did it. I lost. Oh well. He completed 1.60m in the end. Track & field member... Not fair. Well too bad for me. My first silver high jump trophy. And guess what. They didn't even have a friggin prize presentation. At the end of the year, they told us to collect our trophies. But they didn't have the high jump ones...

This post is short. Lol. Supposed to write alot of things but met a writer's block so dunno. Oh well. Today's Digital Life was the best. And Happy New Year!

Boxing Day & Photo Dump

Today is Boxing Day, the real day you are supposed to open your presents... but who cares. Anyway I'll start with photo dump. Very outdated ones. Starting with AFA 08.


First pictures I took. Official Bleach and D. Grayman art and my horrible photography...

Maid Rin from Hollow Ataraxia. Woot! On Display.


Nicely made Hatsune Miku.

Evangelion unit 02. Lousily taken by me again

Christmas

Merry Christmas! As White Len says. Or just Christmas Eve. It's just another day. Reminds me of the time that is passing. The closer it gets to the beginning of the school term. Very soon I'll be posting the Melty Blood New Year special screen. Posted a Len's birthday one not long ago. 3 months isn't long. Time is sad. Sadness is time? I like to do these type of things nowadays. Like 'Time is money. Money is time.', 'Nice from far, far from nice.' Basically switching words. It's some fun in a dull life like mine.

Hmm. No time for photoblogging now. Mebbe next time. Got lots of pics to post. Very outdated ones from AFA 08 n my updated manga collection n figurine collection. Another time then.

Shall talk about TPJC then. Ahh. What to say. Very memorable. What about it was memorable... The hour long bus trips resulting in being late almost everyday except the last, the auditorium, the band room. Memorable. Being called up to state the target for the band. As well as being the only flautist for the last few days of the festival. A pity there was only 1 masterclass. Sad. Wanted to get more out of it. Only about 2 hrs of masterclass for so many people. So little was done. Sad. Cos it's very, or kinda weird having only 1 flautist for the concert, it was great the alumni helped out. They showed me I got a long way to go. My 2 months of practising (or sight-reading)

Melty Blood Stuff now. Lol. Finally can do the Hisui's EX Dust Loop as well as Kohaku's Corner Loop. Also created an extension to Hisui's EX Dust loop. Loops as follows...
Controls as follows: 8 is up, 2 is down, 5 is neutral
6 is foward and 4 is back. 9731 are diagonals.

Hisui's EX Dust Loop: 5B 5C/5[C]> 623C (delay) 5B 5C (delay) 5B 5C (Delay) 2B 5C 2C 6C 5B j.BC j.BC Airthrow
Kohaku Corner Loop: 2A 2B(2 hits) 2C 5C 236[B] (2A/5A(Delay) 5C 236[B])X how ever many times you want.
My Unpractical EX Dust Loop Extension: 5B 5C/5[C] > 623C (delay) {5B 5C (delay) 5B 5C (delay) 5B 5C > 236C (delay)} x2 5B 5C (delay) 5B 5C (delay) 2B 5C 2C 6C 5B j.BC j.BC Airthrow. Does less damage than the normal EX dust loop due to damage proration but its fun. Lol.

AFA 08

Long time no blog. Not that I care anyway. Got alot of stalkers. And the last tag was by me, more than 2 months ago. Ain't that sad, me?
So many things happened, and I dun wanna bother talking about everyone, so I just say the main events, since I'm just passing my time here anyway.
Thursday got band camp. And like every other year, I'm not really looking foward to it. Got the section competition too. Haiz... Depressing. Some people haven't reply me yet. Die la. Seriously think we are gonna mess up.
AFA 08 was fun. But can only go for 1 day. Took lots of lousy pics, like every other festival I went to. Haiz... Anyway, the morning queue was friggin long, from 1 end to the other end + a couple of loops just to get tickets. Expected it to be crowded but not this crowded. Otakus think alike I guess. Go at the same time. The Maid Saber was SOLD OUT!!! And I know who bought the last 2... About $60+ I think. So all that was left was the Maid Rider. Both from Hollow Ataraxia. Oh ya. At about 11am there was this 5 second man. At first I didn't know. Then they start saying like 4.46 seconds and all those "close" to 5 second timings. I didn't bother to find out the result. Anyway, the 5 second man looked friggin stupid. He looked like some red ****** with the number 5 imprinted on his face. Stupid. Then went on to take photos of figurines. And obviously I did a horrible job again. There was like ayanami rei, Eva Units 00 and 02, Chibi Shana & Ryoko Asakura (Which I took pictures of very horribly). There was also maid saber, which I took even more horribly. Getting depressed over it... Also maid Rin was blurry, Miku was fine, but not that good. The rest nothing much to say. Haiz... Quite a few cosplayers. Some bad, some good, some sloppy, some gives u sore eyes. I didn't take any pics of cosplayers this time round. Went around, looked at merchandise. Bought Evangelion 1.0 character figurines, the whole set. Gonna take photos and upload next time. Also bought manga from Chuangyi. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2 and Neon Genesis Evangelion Vol. 11. Both AFA 08 releases. Then I got the chance to win some stupid prize by throwing something on a board or something. I din noe wat it was so I tikam throw. Then tio the consolation prize. It's some pooh fridge magnet. Wtf. Also queued up 1hr+ just to get in to KKnM. And bought what I went to AFA 08 for. EVANGELION A4 FILE WITH REI AND ASUKA!!! Yay. Expensive...
There was an MBAA machine there too. Yay! Didn't play it cos it's way too popular. My hamachi mbac friends were there. lol. I'm still noob at it. Even after playing it everyday for a month. Haiz... Mebbe the band camp is a good break from mbac. May get better when I come back. Hopefully.

Results

It's strange why I'm not happy with my marks. My family is rather happy about my marks but I'm not... I really don't see the happiness in it. I really don't know why. I should really be rejoicing, but I'm rather sad, or maybe even angry or disappointed. Something's going wrong with me. Maybe it's because I have so few friends. By my definition maybe only have 1 or 2 friends. No one to share the joy with. No one who cares about me. Even if I say my marks, people wouldn't console me, wouldn't congratulate me. Is that why? Or maybe I'm selfish. I see people getting high marks everywhere. I'm not happy. Is that why? Either way, I'm not really happy. Maybe I need to see a psychiatrist. I can't get happy these few days. Well, I got an A2 average. Wow... not too happy. Wonder why...

Back

It's been about 3 weeks since I last blogged. Done so much within these 3 weeks. Almost memorable. First, purchased some $60+ earphones, cos my current ones spoilt. A connection problem apparently. Left earpiece again. Same thing happened to my previous set. Haiz...

Exams. Nothing much to say. But I only activated Shinkai(Bleach) for like the first week. Second week started to slack already. Melty Blood cramming. My best character is currently Ciel. Curry-sempai. Haha. Not that any of you would know anyway. Type-moon is also coming out with a new anime. Can't get enough of their artwork. Shikabane Hime the anime has been released by Gainax already. Lots of pantsu I think. Haha.

This is probrably my first free weekend this year. And probrably my last in a few months. Cos next week got band. Haiz... I feel like writing an emo post about band. I think I can rant about it forever. But I'm not gonna do that now. Mebbe the next post. Hard to believe I was scouted for badminton for DSA for a secondary school, even though I wasn't in the primary school badminton team. And now I'm worse than ever. How sad. Why I joined band? Cos I quit badminton. Now I dun see the difference between the two. Both requires alot of time. Haiz. I'm tired of all this.

Oh ya. So much happened that I forgot to reupdate my Rubik's timings. Now my fastest time is 0:32:84 on the 3X3X3. Haha. Beat that. But I still got a long way to go. I'm irritated. I'm annoyed. Even though I may be good at quite a few things, I'm really pissed I can't be the best at something. It's like so near yet so far. Like the reflection of the moon in the water.

Ok. It's anime time. Most of the below stuff are anime stuff. So dun bother if you dun care about it. Watched School Days and Clannad just after the exams ended. The School Days ending was quite good. I'm pleased. And I'm not purposely trying to be sadistic here. What I was pleased at is that Itou got killed. He really deserved it. To atone for his sins. Actually, from episode 5 I couldn't bear to watch on. I just did for the sake of it. Another reason why I was pleased with the ending was that it ended with what it started with; About Itou noticing this girl, on the train, always reading books. That is called a good ending.

Clannad time. Ya. It's really very late to watch Clannad. I've been like in anime for 1 year now. Yet I only watched Clannad now. So I'm trying to atone for it. Kyoto Animation's art quality never disappoints. The quality of Clannad was one of the best I've seen for Game-turned-anime. Really great story. Dun need to emphasize on this right? You already should have watched it. This is also one of the few times I watched through the entire OP to ED of all 24 episodes. I think I can already memorise the Dango Song. The song's a little grand. If there was such a show, I think it would be the ED theme of Dango Daikazoku. The OP would be from the movie. Clannad the After Story is also out. The second episode was released yesterday. Watched the movie too. The quality left much to be desired. It was obviously done by another company. But I'm glad the voices remained the same. Love them all. At least this harem had a non-loser male lead. That's great. Just started playing Tomoyo After ~ It's a Wonderful Life. Not to be mistaken by the Clannad doujin game Tomoyo Fighter ~ It's an exciting life. Anyway, Tomoyo's voice remains the same. Yay! Also read the manga. Quite a sad story. The Tomoyo After manga of course. Only 4 chapters long. Well, it's a great story. Always had high expectations of Key's works. Just started watching Kanon too. The 2006 version. The 2002 version was only 13 episodes long I think. And the quality is haiz... So ya.

D. Grayman ended. But there will be a continuation maybe 1-3 years from now, at the rate the manga is progressing. Cos if they continued, the anime would have caught up with the manga in 2-3 episodes. That wouldn't do. Zero no Tsukaima also ended. And I missed 3 episodes to the end!!! *emos for a while*. Now they replaced it with Tora Dora. Fine I guess. Neo Angelique also ended. And I missed the ending yet again......... Haiz.......... Not that it was a nice show to begin with. Replaced it with Casshern Sins. Boring. The art isn't that good to me. But. The composer for the BGMs is none other than Kaworu Wada, composer of BGMs for D. Grayman and Inuyasha as well as a few others. Could recognize his works in Casshern Sins. Not sure what the show which replaced D.Grayman is. But seems ok. And you know Okto? The new channel which is channel 8 on Starhub cable and replaced channel i (If you still remember). I think it's gonna replace arts central completely. Give more time to Vasantham. They need it.

Watched the Lucky Star OVA. Wonderful as always. They are even in a game in the OVA. Real good. Also found some MAD of Lucky Star. Gonna post them here sometime.

Oh ya. In Japan news, this foreign guy, who speaks spanish, jumped into the moat of the japanese castle and swam there... naked. Wow. I was lmaoing at it la. Since there was a nude foreign man, I won't put the video or link here. But if you are interested you can ask me, not that you actually would ask me. There was also this case where this guy went around smelling females' armpits and was sentenced to 14 years in jail in Singapore. It's either it hasn't been published or I haven't been reading the newspapers lately. Comments from netizens from other countries say it's a little too strict. Apparently this guy is a little mental. But I can understand his fetish. Ahaha. Sore ja.

Tests

No more Franken Fran in this post. Haha. Anyway, this week, I had a total of 4 tests, all of which I did not study. 2 Bio, 1 SS and 1 Chem. I'm sure I failed SS as I totally wrote the wrong points. Haiz... Bio, not sure. But won't get a high score for sure. Haiz... Quite sad now, but not sad. Anyway, school is getting more fun for me. Although I'm not really making any new friends, I use them to indirectly talk to other people, like talking about anime and manga. Can talk non-stop, from H-games to doujins to well, the original... Recently been renting out my manga. Earned $1 so far. I'm renting $1 per book. Quite cheap really. Supposed to get $2 but someone hasn't paid yet. Gonna bring Vol.2-5 of Magister Negi Magi to rent. So that's another $5. Good money. And I have 100+ manga. I think after the exams I need to rearrange my manga cupboard... It's too full now, with 3 Fate Artbooks... I'm probrably gonna take photos of my updated collection...

Was thinking about Franken Fran again. Chapter 2. My fav. So she tore and ate up the guy's intestines. That wasn't too disgusting for me. It was well... Nice. Anyway, when I thought about it again, she was eating his large intestines. Still, I did not have a problem with that. However, I realised that biological filth was in there. So I felt disgusted. Not that I have any problem with *cat, it's just that... Eating it directly from the large intestine, with 10% of the water content there, green-brown substance... A little eww.

These few days had maths remedial after school. And each time stayed back till 1630. Today had a mock test, a test to mock people who lack intelligence. Well, it did its job. But it was good revision. At least now I know how left behind I am. But anyway, also had Bio test today. I totally did not study. Not an inkling. Just used what I remembered from CA2. Wonder if I would fail... Bio is now at the nervous system. And the next chapter is about EYES!!! Yay! I became interested in eyes after reading Chapter 8 of Franken Fran, Beautiful World. I then learnt that the human eye has 3 light reception cells. And the mantis shrimp can see 16. Which means it can see from X-ray all the way to radio waves. Microwaves are low frequency by the way. For an easier way to see the diff, microwaves are thwe size of a human, Infrared light is about the size of a pin point and X-rays are about the size of an atom. Really interesting stuff. Love it. Can't wait for bio to reach that topic. If not, at least the eyes.

Cos I've been coming back late these few days, I've been too lazy doing ERP, and wasting time on the com instead. I'm so dead. Must chiong today and tmr. Tmr also have a Chem test. Fri SS test. So dead. Better do something now.

Addicted

I'm really addicted to Franken Fran. I think this addiction is bad. I can't wait for the next chapter to be released, but it would be in 1 month's time. I really can't wait. This is bad. Why I like Franken Fran. Cos it's unique. The stories are quite refreshing and some quite funny. It's new to me. And it's not your typical horror style manga. It's a light-hearted one. Fran is a lighthearted person. She' not the cold blooded killer type. She does operations on what she think's is right, but slightly not in the right way...

If I start cramming next week, I wonder what would happen. I've never studied for more than a weekend before an exam(if the exam is on a Monday). So if I start studying next week... Hmm... Not gonna say anything...

Read Type-moon Complex X 1,2 & 3. Not bad I must say. It's a doujin from Crazy Clover Club. Shiro really has no chance against Shiki. It's like your foot against an ant. Eyes of Death Perception rocks.

Franken Fran

Woo. Franken Fran rocks sia. I'm not gonna write the sypnosis here cos it may freak people out. Anyway, Chapter 9 was hilarious. No spoilers... Chapter 12, gory catfight between the same person. This rocks.

What to say... Today went to school earlier than usual. Today like got alot of free periods: English lesson, Chinese lesson, RME + 1 period (Teacher was doing TPC with some students). So we were talking about alot of crap. Really alot. This is the 3rd week without assembly already. Probrably cos of the prelims.

Changed the pic to a Bleach gif on the request of someone...

Week 1 Over

Wow. Week one is already over. Actually, this week was quite long. Many things happened. And I forgot many incidents which have happened...

Saturday, went to Malaysia to attend another rich person's wedding. It's a sort of business wedding. Had to cross the causeway twice for rich people's weddings already. And I'm so familiar with these weddings that I know the order of food which comes out...
1. Cold dishes
2. Soup
3. Chicken (Usually roasted)
4. Fish
5. Prawns
6. Mushrooms and Vegetables
7. Buns (Usually those fried ones)
8. Dessert
Common trend. Just nice an 8 course meal. Then there was karaoke. I was petrified. When I first heard that of course. But the uncles and aunties sing very well... In comparison to the Maris+ Talentime held on Teacher's Day...

Today, hmm... Went to Ang Mo Kio for tuition, bought Frontier magazine. The shop which I used to buy the manga magazine I used to buy has been gone for 3 weeks. And the current store which I bought the Frontier magazine from supposed to sell the same magazine, but more expensive. Sadly, the magazines they sell are outdated for like a month or more. Haiz...

Watched Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion. It was ok. Not fantastic. That is after overlooking the problems with the sound synchronisation of the Veoh version. The ending was not grand. Hitsugaya up till now doesn't seem powerful to me. Not quite what I expected. Inuyasha movie 3, Swords of an Honourable Ruler's ending was what I called a grand ending. The Bleach ending was like, Soujiro was so easily killed; Hitsugaya just needed Hyorinmaru to coil around Soujiro and Ichigo just needed to use Getsuga Tenshou. Talking about Getsuga Tenshou, Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu seems much more powerful than it lor. Not to mention bakuryuuha. Oh well. Gotta go...

Mooncake Festival

Mooncake Festival is tomorrow. Most likely I would not blog tomorrow, cos morning I have band, afternoon, tuition, night, go to malaysia to sit in for some dinner in place of my grandfather. So full day out. Better sort my band file. Getting too heavy and filled with scores I do not need.

There's this thing about the instrument care kit which is kinda compulsory for all band members. I reject it. Cos it's like $30! And they didn't even say what was in it. Actually, I got all the main things needed to maintain my instrument: Silver cloth($15), Cleaning Cloth($5?), Cleaning Gauze($4?), screwdriver($?), tone hole cleaner($?). I don't see why I really need to buy it. It's $30 you know. + Band Camp fees($20), is a total of $50. My holiday pay is like totally gone if I have to pay it using my own money. $4 is already gone for breakfast by the way. I'll try to persuade them not for me to buy as much as possible.

SAs are just a couple of days away. And here I am starting to watch DearS. Haha. Completed Shakugan no Shana II. There wasn't a moment of doubt as I knew that a Season III is sure to be released. It's so obvious. So many loose ends to tie. The ending of II was a little rushed, but quite ok.

September 11

It's been 7 years since the terrorist attack... Brings back memories of my primary school life...

Oh. Tomorrow is the Chemistry test. And I totally forgot about studying for it despite many reminders by classmates. I think I should cram tomorrow. Its testing the Periodic Table. Should not have much problems with that. Must learn to be more humble...

PE was softball again. I totally cannot bat. How sad... Nothing much really happened today. Except alot of jap stuff. This half-korean was like so obsessed with the Song of the Fourteenth(D. Grayman) that he wrote out the lyrics. With the pronounciations in korean too... So he just kept singing and when he forgot the tune, I refused to tell him. haha.

Aquired the D. Grayman OSTs 1 & 2. As well as the ED themes. That was when I realised I can't stand low quality songs in my mp3 player. Seriously. I rather have a 20MB version rather than a 1MB version of song despite the lack of space in my mp3 player. Of course it is not possible to have a 4 min 20MB song. The largest size I have for a 4 min song is about 12-13MB. And if the song is 1MB, either it is corrupt or it is just really short. Talking about MBs, remember the old floppy disks. Wow. Nostalgic. Imagine. Currently 1 floppy drive can't even hold one song. Shows the size of files nowadays. 1 floppy is about 1.4MB by the way.

Woah! Shakugan no Shana II episode 21 rocks sia! I was at the edge of my seat! Oh well, 2 more episodes to go...

Happy Birthday Len!

Yay! Today is Len's (Melty Blood) birthday. I realised that when I opened Melty Blood today. Special Startup Screen!!! 9 September. What an eventful day... Today is also the new iPod release day i think.


Talking about iPods, my new class T-Shirt design is out. Guess what. It's iNerd... And it uses the famous black person with the white iPod, just that it is just white spectacles... Wow... The shirt colour is orange. I think 1 orange shirt is enough though...

Yesterday, there had been talks about the end of the world. Like I would believe that. They said it was something about this nobel prize winner's theory that when he switches on a facility he created which is 27km in diameter or something, some particles would spin at the speed of light, resulting in the generation of extremely huge amounts of energy. However, this energy may be to large. Should it work, an immense amount of energy can be produced for that place to use. I don't think it would affect us here... Or if worse comes to worse, too much energy is produced, causing a black hole to form. Yeah right. This guy should be imprisoned for endangering humankind. And guess what. The day he is going to switch it on is apparently tomorrow. So people are saying it is Judgement Day. Full of crap. Even if it is so, I don't care. Not because I want to die. But cos the death should be instant if a black hole should occur, though unlikely that such a thing would happen. Black holes can only be created by fallen stars(suns), never by idiots on a planet trying to generate power for their own use. This is crap man. It is a totally uncalled for risk. You are endangering the whole world so that you can produce power that only powers your area. Selfish?! Anyway, this is crap, so don't put too much money on it.

Talking about idiots, there are many guys in anime that are idiots. Gonna talk about that another time.

School Reopens: A New Beginning or a Last Chance

I only have 11 more days to complete my ERP. It's my last chance. Haven't done the book review. Haven't even recorded a single book... Sad.

Watched Shakugan no Shana II today. First watched it when it first aired. But stopped after a while due to my internet plan, if you still remember. At episode 11 now...

休日終わりだ(Holidays have Ended)

It's the same title as the previous post. So decided to put it in jap. Anyway, today, I finally realised that the store which I buy manga magazines from have closed. I missed 2 weeks of it... Haiz...

Yeah! Bought my 3rd Fate artbook, Fate/Complete Material. Yay! Haven't taken a look at it yet. Comics Connection had a 40% off discount for artbooks. Didn't know. I thought the price tag was wrong when I bought Fate/Stay Night Production Illustrations. Sadly, someone bought the Bleach 7th Anniversary Artbook. At first, I did not want to get it as I thought there wasn't any discounts. And today, when there was, I couldn't find it! Sad... Oh ya. The Lenalee figurine costs $24.90. I don't think it's worth it. Even my 2 dollar Asuka's art is better than that. Though it is smaller and detachable...

Today at J8, I saw monks in a Singtel shop. Earlier this year, I saw monks in an IT show buying printers. It really seems out of place. Pardon me for my ignorance.

Holidays are Over

Have been blogging for 6 days straight. It's a new record. The 27 August one got a date problem...

Finally, the holidays are over. Let me recap what I did during this holiday...
~ Watched Shingetsutan Tsukihime.
~ Finally managed to play Melty Blood.
~ Became a Type-moon fan.
~ Found a job.
~ Eyesight deteriorated tremendously due to over playing of Melty Blood.
~ Drew 2 Illyasviel von Einzberns
~ Otakuing
~ Watched Part 3 of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~ Next Season ~
~ Found great image sources
~ Watched Kara no Kyoukai the First Movie: Fukan Fuukei(Overlooking View)
That's really little... Should have watched Clannad too. But too busy playing Melty Blood...

There was band today. In the end I had to play the piccolo cos Mr PRC didn't want to. Anyone know where to get ear plugs? I wanna plug my right ear. Cos the piece requires a few 4th Octave Cs on the piccolo. And anyone would get deaf. The only earplugs I know are those speedo ones. And they cost about $8... Which is quite expensive. Please tell me if you know of where I can buy earplugs, not for mp3 players. Thanks.

Detached sleeves rock. Zettai Ryouiki too. And guess what. Hatsune Miku has them both! Ahaha

Paradox

After doing the job, I dun feel like spending the money. Lol. Cos its like... If I just buy McDonald's, the money would become from $50 to$44.50. It feels so... so I don't want to spend it. Money is hard to earn. That's the kinda of feeling I get. But I would spend my allowance though, but not my income...

There's a paradox in the Melty Blood Manga. Those who don't read, which means all of you, don't bother reading this. You won't know what I'm talking about. In other words, I'm writing to myself. Anyway, the paradox is that at the intro, they said that Nero and Roa had died. However, Ciel was alive! In Tsukihime, Ciel's life was tied to the survival of Roa, that's how she survived for so long, and is kinda immortal. So if Roa was dead, Ciel shouldn't appear in the Melty Blood manga. That's the paradox. Bye.

First Job

Yo. Had my first job today. Earned $50+. Yay! Mainly paperwork. Stapled 800+ times today. Left fingers feeling abit sore. Like you slapped your fingers hard against a table... Anyway, its a one-shot job. So no more work. Tomorrow is a free day! Time to start my homework, and maybe draw more FSN...

Gonna Work

Been wanting to address this for a loooong time. Why is it that 90% of the people who once knew me from my previous class or from band and are in the same class as me feel so awkward with me. I'm really not sure myself. But since they behave like that, I tend to behave the same way too. So it's just one vicious cycle. So somehow or rather, we need a middle man to convey messages. But if it is something to do with duties, I will just do it personally. Cos it doesn't require any relationship to be done. Like handing in homework, etc... And it's always like that. Like people from my previous class who are in my class. Some how or rather they seem to avoid me. But it's expected. We all had an argument at one point of time. One of them was last year on my birthday; Another was somewhere before the June hols. So even if its so obvious that I would be able to answer some of their queries, not to mention I sit right next to them, they still ask someone else, who may not be able to answer as well. Same with band people. I think I have an attitude problem...

Anyway, I will be going to work tomorrow. Yeah! My first job, my first income. No treats to anyone, cos no one ever treated me, nor even remembered my birthday, not that you care about a treat coming from me. Not going to treat my section for the section outing(which is sooooo not gonna happen). I'm gonna give some to my parents though. But its too early to say how much I get. Aiming to get more than $60. Can buy 2-3 artbooks. Yeah. So I won't be online most of tomorrow... Until I come back.

Had band today. I was supposed to photocopy a score which I didn't have. I really thought i was in deep shit. So I just desperately tried to search for it in the Library cupboard. And guess what. It was on the stand all along. Wasted 1hour searching. Should have just went back to the band room. But at least I neatly arranged the cupboard. Well the top 2 rows only... Talking about shit, here's a comic strip you can put if you wanna say something is shit. Just edit the words on the card...


Drew somemore Illya today. Tohsaka is a failure, as you can see below. Drew it halfway. Can't get the eyes right. Yeah. She's one of the easiest characters to draw in the Type-moon list of characters. I think I screwed up the hair though...


Watched Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~ Next Season~ OVA part 3. Woohoo. Akane is the protagonist for this one. My waifu. There is more or less a hint that she likes Takayuki. Finally. Hmm. Almost all female characters in KGNE love Takayuki. Well most of them. Suzumiya sisters and Mizuki. Ok. It's only the main female characters.

Bad Cosplay

Been surfing the net today. And it made me remember why I hated cosplay so much before. So for the sake of people who have never seen bad cosplay...


Front row 2nd from the right. What's with that. Seriously... And look. There's an old man at the back too...

Americans shouldn't cosplay... Seriously...

I almost regurgitated. It's a scene familiar with Melty Blood players, such as myself. And !@# Are those guys??!!! I fell of my chair when I saw this. I really did.

Reason why Americans shouldn't cosplay:

They have no shame. Seriously. I'm really polluting my blog...


I can't stand posting another disgusting cosplay. There are those of Chii and Freya(Chobits) as well. But I don't wanna look at it. Well there are good cos play as well. Such as the one below.

Oh well. While I was surfing, I spotted this guy. I really feel embarrassed for him. Anyone would.

Going to go for work on Thursday I think. Yeah. Income...

30th from the Bottom

Didn't realise that I haven't blogged for so long. So I thought it was time to blog. And I really dunno who exactly is coming to my blog you know. The hit counter just keeps going up n no one tags at all. Please tag at least once so I know who is coming at least...

Olympics is over... Its really very late to say that. Just needa say the closing ceremony was not as extravagant as the opening. Jackie Chan sang. Lol. Exams are also over. 30th from the bottom. That's all you need to know. Holidays started too. Lol. I'm really very late in posting.

Recently started playing badminton again. Desmond gave me a raquet. And not a cheap one too. Thanks alot. Luckily my hand didn't ache. It's been three years already. Haha. Ever since I quit. I'm such a lousy blogger.

Teacher's Day is today! I almost forgot. I really got nothing to blog about.

Today I drew this!!!

Yeah it's Illyasviel von Einzbern from Fate/Stay Night. Took really long to draw this. Drew 2 of it. I don't really know how to draw the nose and fingers but the eyes rock. I never noticed that it was that nice before until I drew it.

Been playing Melty Blood lately. And alot too. Non-stop too. So didn't blog. It's really fast paced. Unfortunately, I can't get any full combos. And pros can get 100hit combos. Haiz...

Yay! Chuang Yi released The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya last week. Yay! In English too! And of course I bought it. Lol. My manga cupboard is really full. I also bought the Fate/Stay Night Production Illustrations Artbook. That's how I got reference to draw the picture above. Tohsaka is really hard to draw. Still can't get the eyes right. The eyes are one of the hardest part to draw if you wanna follow the actual. The Bleach 7th Anniversary Artbook is also out. For quite some time already though. A few weeks. Any Bleach fans who want it? I didn't buy it. But I can help you buy if you give me the money...

Chem Paper

My goodness. This entire CA is a give away... The English paper was quite easy... The Chinese paper was also a give away. And the Chemistry paper was quite a giveaway too... Though many people did not think so. Ohhh... I think I can finally get an A1 for chem. Yeah.

I totally did not get functions and graphs. But after one hour of studying. I finally did. Anyway close to it... Really want to get an A1. My goal for this CA is 5As or more or ever better, 5A1s. Hopefully my Chinese can get an A1, Chem, Physics (Feel like counting it as 1 subject), A & E Maths. Hopefully...

It's a Silver!

Congrats to the Singapore Women's table tennis team on getting a Silver for the Olympics. Thank you for breaking the Olympic medal drought of 48 years. The last medal was a silver too. Coincidence? Maybe the next medal we would be another 48 years later... That's a long time.

CAs have begun. And I only started studying today. Chemistry. I'm aiming for an A1 in Pure Chemistry. Just need to study the notes well. History has proven that most of the questions which I got wrong were from the notes. So study study study. Had Chinese CA today. I tell you, it's a total give away. The questions are totally easy. Not that I can get a perfect score but anyone with a Chinese standard even slightly higher than mine has the potential for a perfect score. The compre was a little weird. The questions require really short answers for 4 marks. So to play safe I added extra. Hope I can get an A1. Aiming for 5 A1s and above. Really need to study my Geog, SS, both Maths. My maths standard has dropped quite a bit though.

Been playing Tomoyo Fighter abit too much lately. Somemore it's the CAs... Yubari's great. I think I have discovered most of her moves except for 1. Which is the direct slam down with her mace. Doubt anyone who come here knows. lol. Changed the blog song to a Hatsune Miku track. Not sure of it's name. But if you play as miku, you will here this song.

Found a really hilarious EVA doujin. Sadly almost no one who come here watches EVA to know the jokes in there...

Science Physics tests are really simple. On Friday, I went for the test totally unprepared, not to mention its usually hard to pay attention in Physics classes cos the A class is usually ridiculously noisy. Too noisy to pay attention. Anyway, I just went in, totally crapped through the entire paper, finished it in less than half the given time, handed it up and went to recess. Physics lesson was after recess so he marked it, and guess what... I got a 12.5/15. Don't know how people can even get 3.5...

Uploading my Magister Negi Magi manga covers on Animepaper. The papers keep coming. Not really... Too lazy to scan sometimes... Currently have 304 papers.

2 ppl asked me chem qns on msn. But the number of questions were overwhelming. Seriously. Not cos their difficult. Cos there's juz alot. Phew... It's over.

Olympic Medal Finally!!!

WOOOYEEAAAAHHH!!! Singapore finally has been guaranteed either a silver or gold medal by the Singapore's female table tennis team. Yeah. After so many years. Olympics rock. Watched lots of gymnastics lately. Saw falls for the first time. Saw diving less though. Though I missed one where the diver fell flat onto the water and recieved a 0.0...

Today had the English exam. Was quite ok I guess. But missed out on 1 point in the summary after I had completed it. Anyway could not fit in any more words. Had already overshot the word count. So just left it. There's something with the phrasing of the summary question. The reason's for his involvement, his work and his personal sacrifices. This can be seen in 2 ways you know.
1) Reasons for why he was involved, why he wanted to do this work as well as reasons why he made personal sacrifices.
2) Reasons why he was involved, what was his work as well as the personal sacrifices he made.

I went for no. 2 as no.1 did not have enough points. So it would be logical to go with 2. Weird paper. So many typos. 15 printed pages. OMFG. I thought it was ludicrous. It was actually 7. Qn 4b jumped to Qn 7. hah.

As you can see I renovated my blog. Changed it to white to match the pic actually. Posting random lame images by the side once a week, or every post. Depending on the time. Couldn't find a white banner to match. And could not change the hit counter colour. And yay. 600 hits at this point of time. How slow. But still not bad for just 20+ posts. lol...

Been surfing Animepaper recently. First time I really actively participated in an online community. Uploading scans. Uploaded the highest quality scan of FSN Visual Story you can find on the net. Anyway, had a scan rejected cos it was not properly uploaded. earned a total of 154 papers so far. Spent 150 paper on scans of byakuya. And after being restricted form downloading wallpapers, I finally am able to download wallpapers for contributing. Yeah!

Haven't been studying for the CAs at all. zen zen nai. Instead, started playing a doujin game called Tomoyo Fighter ~ It's an Exiting Life ~ It'll be fun if you know the characters at least...

Smile

Time passes so quickly... Just this morning I was at NEA. lol. Still remembered everything that happened there... The out of tune singers, the primary school dance, the minister, the food... So fast...Actually nothing much to talk about. About band, I can go get a Librarian Assistant. I only asked my junior though. He doesn't seem to mind. I also recorded the dance done by the primary school with his hp. lol. After all that James gave us souvenirs from his china trip. Some Beijing Olympic Stuff. lol.

Oh yeah. I can make some unique patterns on the 5X5X5 cube already.


Something like a dice. But only 2 and 4...


Cross Grave(D.Gray-man). Haha


My self-invented smiley face. Yeah


A variation of the smiley face...


Both faces!

Watching olympics now. Hope it doesn't take too long. Don't wanna miss D.Grayman. Not that its the same channel. Thought the opening ceremony was not bad, but a little tiring after a while.

These few weeks had quite a lot of band events. If I was both an alumni member and main band member, I would have concerts and competitions every week. Luckily I'm not an alumni member, so I only had 2 concerts. Last Saturday was the paralympics concert. So missed tuition. Screwed up Do-re-mi. Expected for a lousy flautist like me. Only managed to get the score ready on Saturday and had only 3-4 days to practice. For the first time in months I brought my flute back to practice. Only once though. Returned it after the concert. The weather at Orchard Road that day was hot. Yeah. Hot. Was sweating profusely. There was a break in between so enjoyed air-conditioning at Kinokuniya. Luckily it was nearby. Took a look at the manga there and then saw Leonard Tan. Reading some game comic thing. Yuck. I hate game comics. Like WoW types you know. I also hate sports manga, cooking manga, or manga that specialises on certain normal activities. Cos it's just so exaggerated.

This week's assembly was talking about again. I think that's 2 times this year. I think it's overrated. You don't see many people behaving like the guy on stage you know. He's like a retard. Today had very few lessons. Tomorrow I will have even fewer lessons. 1st 2 periods are free periods for tomorrow. Well today, since we can't go back before 12.45 (actually i juz wanted to stay back for fun). Then during that period, the shorty went around asking people who could solve the cube in 50secs. If the person did, he would pay form $2-5. If not the person would have to treat him to a drink. lol. Then he go ask some zhai kia but then he only managed to get after 1min. So the shorty go ask him to go back home and practice then come back tomorrow for the 'exam' lol. Anyway, my SS test got 9/16. lol. 1 mark pass only. Cos I didn't manage to finish the last qn. The first 2 questions only lost 3-4 marks. So not bad liao la. Considering how bad I am at Humanities subjects. Talking about Humanities, the school's humanities board is not bad. http://marisstellahumania.blogspot.com/

Monday dissected a porcine heart. I showed a bit of my sadistic side. Lol. Since someone, with my support, minced up the heart, I grabbed some of it with my plastic glove, and overturned it. So it became a bag of porcine heart. Cool.

Yeah. I finally broke the 40sec barrier of my rubik's cube timing. 0:39:56. Finally. Now I can do it alot faster. My average is mostly under 1min now. Yeah. My newest 5X5X5 timing is now 7:46:03. Yeah. About 10sec slower than my 4X4X4 timing. I haven't been playing with the 4X4X4 now... One of my juniors have been smsing me abt where to get rubik's cubes for some other junior's birthday. lol

Finished reading many of Kano Yasuhiro's work's. MX0, Pretty Face, MP0(the prelude of MX0), She Monkey as well as Snow in the Dark. The last three were all one-shot manga. I think the worst was Snow in the Dark. It was like olden Literature. Wonder how he did that in Japanese. Pretty Face is my favourite I think. Followed by MX0. There also was this small collaboration between Mizuki Kawashita(One of my favourite mangaka, author of Ichigo 100%) and him on Shonen Jump. Argh. I can't find the pic. Oh here it is.

Old Debts Crawling Back to Me

My long forgotten, not really, about 1 month and 6 month debts are coming back to me. I gotta come up with a library catalogue, which was actually due end of June, and I've got no idea how to do it!!! And I'm all alone cos the other librarian got demoted... Alumni stuff are piling up at the library table which was just shifted yesterday. I'm not responsible for alumni stuff you know. I've got no idea how to make that pile look nice... I'm getting lousy at blogging, cos I haven't been blogging. Anyway, today played softball for PE. Cool. Wanted to do that for quite a while, though I prefer floorball, which I am the best in class at. Who cares what I'm good at though. Also about the debts, I missed 2 tuitions last Sunday due to the Botanic Gardens performance, and I feel like I'm in deep trouble for not telling them. Maybe I'm just thinking too much. Haven't paid my tuition fees for one of the though, it's already the 4th week...

The Botanic Gardens performance, to me, wasn't that good. Quite a few mishaps... Lack of chairs was the big thing for me. So ended up in the 3rd row. So must be vigilant for ABBA Gold. So stood up at the second one instead of the 3rd. Made quite a few mistakes though. Not that anyone could hear. I'm lousy at the flute. In a solo recently, I could hear how poor I was. So soft. I don't really care nowadays. I'm not that enthu any longer. But I will bring back my flute the moment the SYF pieces are given out, practice like mad, and come to next practice like I'm damn pro. ahaha. Practice has proven useful from the last SYF. So gonna do the same thing. But exams are a problem though. 3rd week of august. Not much time left...

Solved a 5X5X5 cube after the botanical gardens performance on Sunday. My father bought it for me. And I didn't need any formulas. Yeah. Now the person who called me noob had nothing to say. Haha. Somemore dare to say he zhai. Not that I care though. Don't really care about much nowadays. So I'm just gonna write my fastest times here...
2X2X2 - 0:13:56
3X3X3 - 0:46:59
4X4X4 - 7:39:13
5X5X5 - 12:49:69
2X2X2+3X3X3 - 1:36:23
Actually the timings are quite slow. lol.

Been speed-reading Bleach recently. Took 1 week 2days to catch up. At least I now know what Bleachers are talking about. I used to think Espadas were from the game 'Granado Espada' lol. School Rumble just ended too. Yesterday. So sad. The story wasn't really finished. They just finished with a class photo. Hope they tie up the Sawachika - Harima - Yakumo relationship in School Rumble 2. Lots of loose ends to tie. Anyway bye.

Cosfest 2008

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUIOAGHSDFJNJOENPEOIJEWFIOPOAIERBJDFNVAODKJERPGJK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is the cosplay competitions always on Sunday!!!!!!!!!! And I always have to miss is due to my Sunday tuitions... Anyway, I went to the Cosfest 2008 on Saturday. Lol. Guess what. I only arrived there 10mins before the official closing time. chikushou. Anyway, when I arrived, some guys where singing Bouken Desho Desho?(Haruhi OP theme) as well as Motteke Sailor Fuku(Lucky Star OP theme) and some other songs which I didn't recognise. Wonder who won the Anime karaoke contest though. Could have been the guys on stage. Anyway, I bought the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel, which made me broke. Really broke. But it was great man. Mebbe I bring it to school tomorrow for those who wanna look. Nah. It's super heavy. Quite value for money. Though it's all in Japanese but I'm fine with it. That's why the visual of the visual novel comes in... High quality pics... But the censorship takes up a wider area than the actual game... Or did people edit the game. Dunno. Anyway, I took some photos of some Cosplay. I might as well upload some of the cosplay pics that Chang Hong sent me... Excuse me if all I can take are backviews... lol...



Ichigo from Bleach, some guy with a guitar, some Prince of Tennis guy...



Back views of cosplayers outside the tent...



Red coloured guy with a monitor for a head...



I keep taking back views till I can't recognise what they are supposed to be...



It is what it says. The guy used scotch tape and paper strips to do that on his jacket...



Lacus Clyne's backview as well as a bunch of other cosplayers... This Lacus Clyne has black eyebrows...



Cosfest VII Super Henshin Graffiti wall... I'm a lousy photographer...







Below are the pics taken by Chang Hong...



Dunno what is this but it's not bad

The end of this super long photoblogging post...

Sick

Bad days sia. Yesterday I accidentally did an extra 15 push-ups, which means I did 55 push-ups at one shot, 2 times and more than the average band member. And even worse, I was selected for the ... Haiz... Cos I did not point out any other section mate. Great values they teach in band eh. Sabotage, involuntary arrest, and a whole lot of sacarsm. I personally feel that the band's standard is dropping too. More towards the discipline side. Although I'm not doing anything about it. I'm the type who only can criticise but is unable to do anything about it myself. Sad. I also wish to, but I don't know how.

Today. Did 2.4km run for P.E. This time they stopped just after the primary school gate. So my timing was 11.26 mins. Faster, cos did not have to run up slopes. But was feeling real sick after that. Anyways, the main point of the bad day was after school. Actually it was bad because I thought too much... Cos I was the Geog rep, after school I had to go to the staff room to get a namelist for the WS. Then PauLeong caught me cos my hair was too long. I expected to be caught but not by him though. Anyway, I was prepared. But the surprising thing was he was very very irrational. The conversation goes like this...

P is Paul
M is me
P: Hey boy
M:Yes
P: Did any of the teachers tell you to cut your hair?
M: No (Really la)
P: Don't lie
M: I really din lie
P: Why yesterday you never cut ur hair
M: Because I got CCA
P: So now you are blaming your CCA
M: No. I haven't finishe...
P: (forgot what he said)
P: what class are you from?
M: 3*
P: 3* is supposed to have intellect up there(points to head)
P: (talks some mars crap)
M: I'm sorry
P: (Calls Jenni* Goh over)
*dunno what he did that for
P: Who's your form teacher
M: Mrs *
P: ***?
M: yes
P: she didn't tell you to cut your hair?
M: Yes
P: dun lie (or something liddat)
M: I'm not lying. Really
P: So as a #ist
P: you need someone to tell you b4 u cut your hair
M: No I was going to cut it this weekend
P: y cannot cut last weekend
P: ur hair only grow 2 days ago ah
M: Yah...(Of course lah. My hair grow everyday wat)
P: Don't be ridiculous!
M: No I...(P interrupts again)
P: I'm getting angry now (Note* I used a soft tone of voice and really did not show any signs of acting smart or anything which anyone can find fault with)
M: I'm sorry (sorry for wat?!)
P: Who's your form teacher (again)
M: Mrs *
P: so now is Mrs *'s fault la
P: so i need to tell her to (can't exactly remember wat he said. but something about scolding her, not exactly, or something)
M: No. It's not her fault
M: I know I'm at fault. sorry. I am responsible
P: (forgot wat he said after that)
then he went to scold other ppl cos he got nothing to say to me

*This conversation may not be the same exact conversation due to my poor memory and the sequences might be mixed up, but most of it was accurate.

Seriously, what did I do wrong to actually make him angry?!

Anyways, today came back home to study for my Bio test and SS test. I am slightly more confident than before that I wouldn't fail, cos usually I fail both of them. Adieu

Toys & Comics Convention

Long time no blog. Again. I think I'm juz gonna blog once a week. So u dun have to check back that often, though it's nice to see the visitor numbers go up... If I update more frequently I will notify on msn.

For the past week during recess, I have been quite busy. So if I didn't spend much time with you it's not cos I'm avoiding you or anything. Main reason was cos I did not want to get scolded again... So most of this week I was busy printing scores, binding scores, collating and other stuff during recess. At least nothing went wrong during band prac. Phew...

Mars Youth day... lol. I just spent quite a bit of time in class doing the Rubik's cubes, both 4X4X4 and 3X3X3. Btw, I already have a 4X4X4 cube. lol. Not that smooth though. I ate the prizes which were supposed to be given to those who spun the wheel, but only 1 or 2 people came at first. Then later on, more people came. We made less than $50 I think. lol. And I only bought some mamee monster and milo dinosaur. Nothing else though...

Today woke up late. Cos I thought today was a normal day, without any appointments. So that was what I dreamt about. So I overslept a little. So I was late. lol. Then did drills. Spoiling my voice... Not that it sounds nice anyway. Then was sectionals. Did Sway, Home and Stand up for Singapore. And balanced the stick again. lol. I seem to have a talent for balancing objects. Then was full band. Mr Chiang was angry again. Nvm. Can't quite remember what happened after that. All I know is that I did not have to do any other Librarian stuff.

After that went to J8 for lunch. Had McDonald's. Ronald McDonald is one of the creepiest mascots in the world. I'll show you pics of his exploits another day. Then I ate my lunch at the bus interchange. Then this cleaner comes spraying the floor and my food almost got wet... Finished eating then went to tuition. Then did some artistic one-word topic essays. For the first 30min or so, my paper was empty. Then it began to fill up rather quickly. My original topic was actually smoke. But I chose airport in the end. And the word airport would only come up at the beginning and the end of the essay. Yeah. My artistic composition style. I love writing emotional stories. But not inspired by manga though... Although I did some manga inspired compo a while back... Then it was time to go to the Toys & Comics convention. Yeah! My weekends were usually very busy, but I managed to squeeze it in. Although Sunday would be better (cos there's anime Cosplay), but I have tuition then, so only Saturday would suffice. While at the MRt Station, these ladies kept coming to me for donations. And when I didn't, they cursed me. wtf. And they said it was for some children... Then met Alvin and we were on our way. Citylink is really very long. lol. Then arrived there. Finally managed to get Love Hina Volume 1 & 5. Finally, my Love Hina collection is complete. That means it's my 3rd completed manga series. Then walked around. Saw this great doujin. Colleteral Damage. Very well drawn. Even had Kyonko. haha. After that went to see asiasoft at tropics atrium. Quite alot of people. Theme: Audition. Had a competition going on there. Pros. There was even a dance there. lol. Met up with some of Alvin's friends there. Then went to KFC. Had another coke. Second coke in a day... Then I went back to the convention. Played Guitar Hero on Wii. I played Knight of Cydonia. At first I looked damn pro. But then I came to the part where I always screwed up. And I failed the song. lol. Should have played Cliffs of Dover. Mistake mistake mistake... Then I went to the Rubik's section. They can do it real fast. 18secs, 22secs. And the cubes were real smooth. You could play it like a ball man. Smoooth. After that went back with Alvin. I'm super tired now. lol. Brain fatigue. Bye...

Ba(n)d Week

This week was the worst week for band sia. Got scolded(not exactly) 4(?) times by Mr. Chiang!? First was the announcements. Then I dunno why but I forget things very fast... So did not make the announcement properly. Then I get kena by Mr Chiang in front of the band... That was on Wednesday. Today, I got scolded 3 times. First was the thing I had to print. I said I was busy and by the next Wednesday practice I should have it ready. Then he come say me that I should have printed it over the past few days, but I really wasn't free! Then he come kena me in front of the whole band about the missing miyazawa flute. It's not my fault sia. But I didn't really care, cos I know I had nothing to do with it. But too bad, I was the current in charge for the flute section. So he come say I'm in deep shit and it's the second flute I lost. ... This time I specially did not bring the flute back and left it in the band store. And it just simply became all my fault. Then in the end it was in the alumni cupboard. Was seriously pissed off. Then we play Rumble on the High Plains. Then Mr Chiang come ask me who playing piccolo. I really should just have kept quite. I seriously gotta change my habit of shooting my mouth off without thinking, which usually came just 1 or 2 seconds later. But anyway, it was too late. I go say the piccolo in the band store got no mouthpiece. At that point I totally forgot that Terence had the piccolo. But I didn't know that both mouthpieces was in it. So then he come kena me yet again in front of the whole band. Wow. 2 times in a day. I was even more pissed off. But of course I did not show any signs of it. In fact, I think I looked like I didn't care. None of it was my fault. But since I'm the in-charge, I had to be responsible. So be it. And after SMSing a few people, I suddenly dawned upon the realisation that Terence had the piccolo. So I took my time going back, while waiting for a reply from someone. And then got kena again saying that I should be more aware of what is happening in my section in front of the whole band. I don't know how I am supposed to last 1 more year in the band. Sigh*

End of Holidays

Woah. Long time no post. Cos too busy reading manga. haha. Really deserted everything else. So haven't been blogging nor going to people's blogs. Gotta catch up. Been reading School Rumble recently. The first 50 chapters were a bore. But it just went uphill after that. Slowly I began laughing. Yeah. But nothing compared to Ichigo 100% though. But I liked it. It just seems like a different genre.

Haven't been able to walk properly due to the fall. lol. Fell on Sunday. Hurt real bad. But I'm almost fine now...

This holiday has had many animanga accomplishments. Yeah. Firstly, I finally completed reading the whole Love Hina manga series. Previously, I did not read Vol. 1 & 5. So I read it online. Yeah. Then was Ichigo 100%. The amazing series which I completed in 3days+1hour. Yeah. (Read the remaining omake in 1 hour before I went to school. Was late as a result. But it's the holidays, so who cares!) Then was School Rumble. Finally caught up with it. 277 chapters in 5 days? Not bad. Kinda liked the Harima-Yakumo pair, even though it only partially happened. (Those who are against it can tag...) Finally, after 9 months, I finally COMPLETED MY CHOBITS COLLECTION!!! Yeah!!!!! Though it cost more than I expected, about $73-5, it was worth it. Now I finally have 2 completed manga series in my cabinet. Also bought the 3rd Volume of World Embryo today. And Negi hasn't been released for the last 9 months(?) That's taking way too long. It's like telling us to read online if we can't wait you know. Inuyasha has finally ended. 558 chapters. Congratulations for those who have followed the series. You have an amazing perseverence. Like me. Haha. I don't really feel like talking about anything else. Maybe another day...

Today

Today, more than half the school blacked-out. Except the band room... So I spent 9-12 sitting outside the mac lab. And I was playing the Rubik's cube to pass the time. Then at 10, this guy came up to me and asked whether the class started. I said no. Didn't say it was cos of the black-out. Then he kept on talking to me. In a friendly way. And so he just kept talking and talking to me, while I just kept solving the Rubik's Cube again and again. Then he asked me about me and the Rubik's cube. So I just gave 1-2 word answers. Then the power was back on again. It was about 10.30 I think. Then we went in, switched on the mac. Then the power went off again. -_-" Whatever. So just went out, tried the new technique Ray taught me on the Rubik's cube, and the guy continued talking to me. Apparently, he was signing up for the Ironkid Biathlon. Not that it's my business though. Then since I was really really bored solving the cube for the 30th time, I decided to teach him how to play. lol. He was not very good at it. Most people can't get the basic step right though. Anyways, Robin said that cos the school didn't pay the power bills, so the power got cut off. lol. Waste my time. At 12 we were dismissed. Then I went to the band room to wait for WL. Waited there for really long. About 40 min. Then he came with his newly bought $1400 flute. I tried it. It wasn't very good. But it was shiny. Haha. That was when I realised that the alumni had taken the miyazawa flute. Then WL wanted to play a flute duet with me. lol. But all the flutes in the band room were out of order. So I had a hard time trying to play.

After all that we went to J8. I then ate McDonald's with WL. Talking about McDonalds, Ronald McDonald is one of the creepiest mascots in the world. After McDonalds, we went to get the Evangelion 1.0: You are (not) alone Collectors Edition. I could not get it cos I was under 16. lol. After we got it, we spent an awfully long time in Comics Connection, looking at manga. Then went to Action City to look at the 2 X 2 cubes. No price indicated. Wanted to get one for my sister for her upcoming birthday. haha. Came back home and completed Lucky Star. So now I can focus on the School Rumble manga. Reading abit of Shin Angyo Sando too. It's a korean manga apparently.

Wapanese

What are Wapanese. Wapanese are Caucasians who are overly obsessed with Japan, it's culture as well as (last but not least) anime and manga. If I was an ang moh, I would be a wapanese... Scary. Here's the Urban Dictionary definition of wapanese... Some things I do not agree... I do not drink Pocari Sweat. haha. Luckily this applies to ang mohs. But at least I set foot on Japanese grounds before, do not cosplay, do not think that my country is anyway inferior. Singapore is great. No war, no droughts, no floods (at least not that serious), no food shortage (as a consumer), great government with little corruption. Yeah. But I'm not exactly patriotic... I personally do not like wapanese either. Cos they're ang moh. And never stepped into Japan and then think they are so great. I also don't think the Japanese really like wapanese... Maybe those anime companies like them cos the sell lots to them. But its like the PRCs coming to Singapore. I feel that would be how I would feel about wapanese if I was a Japanese. But I'm not. So this is just my personal opinion and it holds no salt.

Dun really like to talk about what's happening around me, cos I'm stuck in the house all day. But I'm not bored. But blogging about what I have done will be boring. Here's how it goes. Today I woke up at 9.30am. Solved the cube twice, 1 with my specs on, one without (Cos I just woke up)... Then went down and ate 2 'tao sar pia'. Continued playing with the cube. Used the com and searched for Levan Polkka again. Love that song. Forgot what I did after that. Ah. Did some E Maths. Kinematics. Learning it in Physics anyway, so nothing new. Then solved the cube again a couple of times. Broke my personal record and set a new one of 1min 45secs. Had chicken rice. Continued work. Used the com again. Scanned some scores. 1 score with 5 pages. It's hard to scan from a book you know. Searched for more Hatsune Miku, and read Chapter 69 of Ai Kora. ooo. 69. Oh ya. Watched Haruhi Live. The concert. A bit of criticism. Aya's singing was quite off. The vibrato was a bit too much. And she seemed flat (as in tone). Anyways she's so chio. Haha. Watched the anime version of God Knows... then watched the live version of God Knows... then Bouken Desho Desho?, then COOL EDITION (live version too). If you don't remember a song called COOL EDITION in the anime, it's from the Ryoko Asakura Image Album. It's not bad. If you want it, you can ask it from me, but get ready something in return. Cos fair trade (Fullmetal Alchemist) haha. I just love the Lucky Star Version of Levan Polkka. Love the beginning, the part where they switch clothes to Rin, Shana, Mikuru, and another one is from To Heart I think. The door slamming and the rotating lips was cool too. Leaving you with the video... Changed the blog song to the Lucky Star version of Levan Polkka (not exactly... That's the closest I could get). My ringtone is the Hatsune Miku version of Levan Polkka. Love the song...

Photoblogging!!!

Long time no blog. Anyway I've decided to do photoblogging for the first time. And I'm very lousy at it. First, my manga collection. WOOOOOO!!!!! Total of 8 series(seems quite little): Chobits, Chrono Crusade, Inuyasha, Love Hina, Magister Negi Magi, Neon Genesis Evangelion, World Embryo and some chinese manga. There's a total of 96 tankoubon(books). Hmmm. If I get the last 4 volumes of Chobits I'm missing, it would be 100. Cool



Yeah that's my collection



That's my Inuyasha collection. All in Chinese though.



And that's my Magister Negi Magi Collection. Quite expensive, though Chobits is way more costly...



Chrono Crusade, the whole set. Apparently it's the only series which I have a complete set. Cos the publisher didn't publish the other manga equally I guess.



Yeah. My NGE collection. Plus Notebook, plus figurines I got from M'sia.



World Embryo Collection. Rena is so cute. Haha.



Love Hina collection. Volume 1 & 5 are missing. Cos I can't find them anywhere...



Yeah. My SOS dan notebook. I just wrote stupid things in it. Wish I didn't.

Yesterday I went to the Annual Bookfair. Yeah. Of course the only reason why I wanted to go there was the anime and manga part of it you know. Then some cosplayers(the only ones I saw that day) cosplaying Shana and Haruhi. The Shana cosplayer has really dry hair. Yucky. Not sure if I'm starting to like cosplay. Dun think so though. Just like to see cosplay in real life. Dunno what I'm saying anymore.



Bought a new Rubik's Cube cos my father broke the old one... And now I can solve it without looking at any formula sheets. Yeah! Fastest time is 1 min 55 secs. Got the cube for $5. It's getting rough. Should have gotten the $8 one.



Sadly, this is the only anime related thing I bought. I saw Excalibur with Avalon(Fate/Stay Night) there. It cost $15, which I spent on a totally useless thing. Dunno what to say. This accessory cos $2. Quite expensive...



And I have completed my first photoblogging thing. I'm so lousy at it. This may be the last time. Anyone wants to got the the Bookfair with me? It's until this Sunday. I wanna go see cosplay and on the way back from there, buy Chobits and maybe search for Ichigo 100% (Viz Media published) manga at Orchard. Dun have to follow me then though. Juz need a reason to go out. Just tag or msn me k? And here's a weird but damn cute Hatusune Miku song...
