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...
