Ooookie...so I've finally created my new blog.
I guess I won't be linking it here for safety reasons xD But yesh, do note:

Haha...maybe I'll miss blogging on here but what the heck, my new blog's blogspot as well lol.
If you really wanna know my new blog, ASK ME.

Also note that this blog shall continue again after July 2009! xDD
Hahaha.
Yes i'm not abandoning this blog ^^
240th post now, me shalt not abandon.

Okay, just a quick update.
I've 2 more days before I fly off to UK now...excited!!!
And somewhat scared...
Worried about the unknown, perhaps? (and unknown includes forgetting to bring something and screaming in fear when I realise o_O)
Nah. I was really meticulous in packing, the packing list I made helped a TON! =D

Anyways surprisingly I pulled out almost everything from my cupboard and this is the amount of clothes I have. @_@;;

Damn little! Daaaaaaaaam little!!
It's alright, makes for easy packing xD

Hmms, last few days were spent with my friends~
Ria and Sam on Monday and Jiaying on Tuesday (today!)...
Ria treated Sam & I to Marche at Vivo City...woooo I'm in love with the Crepes and Rosti nowww~! ^^
And yeah, tanning with Sam in the afternoon at Vivo rooftop cuz we dun wanna pay $3 to go Sentosa lol. The winds were so nice...=)

Went to Vivo again with JY today but to no avail...haha. She wanted to buy a little hat from this goth shop but it was too ex T_T;;
So ended up buying Old Chang Kee and left Vivo xD lol~
It was a really fruitful day though, cuz we headed to Bugis and got quite alot of things!
New wallet, new ear-rings (hahaa jiaying got such girly ear-rings!!), got a blazer... new tie...
And a host of other things I forgot =P

Tomorrow I better spend time with my dog!!! DD:

Uuuuwaah. You must have seen my Fullerton escapade and fainted by now xD
I almost did anyway. My whole week's stuffed with things to do, now that I'm flying off in 11 days OMG~!!!
A few more shopping trips, meeting people, packing my bag, finishing my art trade with Mitchell...x_X

Anyways in case you missed out, Friday was my surprise farewell and extravagant treat by my wonderful African boss ^^
Yesterday (Saturday) was a short trip to Far East Plaza in town with OJY and Andrea, where I finally got my studded belt lol. Ok it's not really studded. It's...silver squares...*lol bad description*
And I got longer leggings too. For some stupid reason the leggings I bought at Bugis started rolling up when I walked o_O;;
In the afternoon Jiaying came to my house and we spent the rest of that afternoon dying hair!! Haha... But sadly, to no avail, man! DD:
Dunno why, the dye colour can only be seen under really strong light. Saddd... We need brighter dye colours *sniff*
And oh, I almost forgot that after 30mins, the dye bottle will heat up and some freak gaseous chemical reaction will happen...and the bottle will EXPLODE!!
I totally forgot about it until after ONE HOUR later when jiaying has finished dying her hair, I picked up my bottle and omg, it was hot x_X
I could've died.
I could've died with red hair dye exploding all over my face.

(All the equipment~~)

Erm k, Saturday night was spent at yet another buffet dinner with my relatives from both sides~! Yikes.
It was more like a thanksgiving cuz my dad finally got a job, and he said it's also my "farewell party" before I leave for UK. lol.
Anyway we went to Paramount Hotel for the buffet...
Ate until I looked pregnant once again~ Haha this "baby" inside me always grows and shrinks, inflates and deflates...upon every buffet o_O;;

(Gooo Taliban go! Goooo taliban go!)

(Taliban man grew a body after 15mins...and more hair...and ears)

Oh yeah, got loooots of gifts from my relatives *OMG*
Most of them gave ang paos, it's like the typical thing that clueless people would give xD But really, I appreciate it so much more if you give me an Ang Pao rather than crack ur brains thinking what I'll like/want, then end up buying me a dress T_T
Kay, here're my gifts~
I can't believe I received twice the amt of Ang Pao money than any CNY i've been to. Insane, man... Together with my $500+ savings, I have about $800+ now for shopping lol! Rob me now. xD

(Ang Pao pile...+ lovely presents...)

(My cousin Wen Qi gave me a whole stack of pens I'm soooo excited!!! xD Just nice my whole pencil box ran outta pens and I was procrastinating going to Popular ahaha~)

Ok TODAY (sunday), was finallyyyyy Mafia Photoshoot day~!!! :DD
Finally. Finally. Finally.
Haha. Jiayi couldn't make it last min...and Zul didn't even pick up all our calls/smses/facebook comments. Damn sad lah, he's not interested I guess =(
Yewei ended up being our photographer~!
We took reaaaally good shots, I can't wait for him to send them!
Ooh and this random guy suddenly came up to us when we were posing at the History Museum...omg. He said he wanted to take photo of us for the museum?! xD
Lol if you see our face in newspaper, I say first - We didn't kill anyone ah!!
ahaha~

After photoshoot, headed down to Vivo for Cosplay Matsuri.
I think Matsuri is damn boring leh =X
Like sooo little cosplayers and one stupid caramelldansen dance...again. And once again I saw Pikachu T_T
Once again I saw the same Vampire Knight cosplayers. Same Naruto cosplayers. Omg lol...
At least the highlight of the whole thing was meeting Limy! ^^
She was Yamamoto from KHR!

Ate dinner at Banquet...

(I ate this interesting chicken-stew-in-bun thingy..)

Yay, tomorrow is rest day, for once.
Will spend it completing Mitchell's art trade...=) I hope it turns out nice!! I'll probably post some WIP here tomorrow, yup?
Tuesday we gotta meet up with Adrian at Starbucks to chill and bombard him with questions on uni life looool~

OMG. TODAY'S THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE DAY. EVER.

Not entirely because it's my last day of work though. But mainly because I spent almost a full day at Fullerton Hotel! Omggggggggggg
*dies spazzing on the floor*
I really really have to thank my African boss, he's the nicest boss on planet Earth! xD
It's almost as though it was my birthday celebration, cuz I was treated to the nicest surprise and it's not even my birthday lol!

LET ME TAKE YOU ON A RIDE OF EVENTS...

Okay I came to work as usual, helped Hamidah finish off the last of that long list that I'd been working on for the past 3 months *wth* and then...at around 11am, my boss told me not to go for lunch at 12.30 because he'll treat me. So I packed up my stuff a little, did some last minute emailing... Then rotted on Facebook for a while...
Finally it was 1pm and time for lunch!
Tiffany came along, and I was told that she was gonna leave her stuff at the hotel. You see, tonight is the annual Dinner & Dance. But I'm not going, so I dressed as usual~
And...
OMFG I SHOULDN'T HAVE WORN JEANS AND SHOES!!!!! DD:

Because the first surprise was after we flagged a cab, my boss told the taxi driver "To Fullerton Hotel, sir"
I was like "OMG WTF?! FULLERTON?!"
I almost died in the taxi ahaha xD

Yaaaaaaah we arrived at Fullerton, I can't believe I set foot on that forbidden land~
It's soooooooooo posh and grand and I thought I'll get chased out by the security guard for wearing sneakers lol.
Gwaah, he never tell me we're going Fullerton for lunch! Bassssstaaaard
Anyway. Lunch was buffet at this restaurant...Guess what I didn't bring my camera T_T;; Oh well, it was a surprise after all and I was caught off guard. Totally.

Because my poor boss had to go back to office to cover his desk duties, he left Tiffany and I his ROOM KEYS OMG plus a $50 note so I could take a taxi home...holy shit. It's so incredible I can't...breathe.
The service at Fullerton was amazing, man. Tiffany and I were like princesses can!!
One huge-ass table to two girls, and we ate til we exploded xD
(dammit I should've taken photo dammit I should've taken photo DAMMIT!)

At around 3pm we finished lunch and went to explore Fullerton~!! =D
Ohoho...Then at 4pm we were tired of running around this 5-star hotel, and decided to go to my boss' room to chill~
After all, he gave us his room keys. Insaneness~
We continued exploring the grand room, Tiffany pulled out the drawer thinking it's a chopping board...xD lol!
The toilet even had an electronic weighing machine (that is spoilt anyway lol I can't be 44kg only after eating so much!) and step-exercise machine heehee~
4.30pm, we felt like pigs and decided to nap for a while...Holy crap, sleeping on 5-star bed leh!! ehehehehe *laughs uncontrollably*
5pm, Tiffany suddenly woke up and yelled "Wu dian le!!! (5 o'clock already)" and scared the hell outta me. Ahaha...oh yeah, Tiff is from China but she speaks with a super heavy Ang Moh slang =D

Uhh...she woke up and started making tea, I don't know why xD
Anyway Tiffany began her preparation for D&D, spilling out the herd of bottles in her bag (omg soooo much makeup stuff k!). Lol, we realised the mirror and the electronic socket were too far away, so called Room Service and OMG they carried a full-length mirror to our room hahaha!! We died laughing!
Then as tiff was curling her hair, I on the other hand had nothing better to do than gawk at the mini-bar in the room...
They had 4 different types of tea, and jars after jars of candy o_O;;
No wonder 5-star hotel eh?
6pm, my boss called to say he'd arrived at Fullerton and was having tea downstairs at the lobby and asked if I wanted to join, I said I was gonna burst, then he laughed like mad man, then uhh...he put down the phone.

Anyway he appeared at the door 10 mins later HAHAHA!
Tiff almost burnt her fingers on the electric curler lol~
It went like,
Boss: *ding dong!*
Me: *open door* YOU!!
Boss: YAY!
Tiffany: *burns fingers* ARGH~!!
Boss: Omg what's happening here... Holy shi- WHAT IS THIS!
Me: Mirror, haha.
Boss: WHAT IS THIS!
Me: Tiffany's tea..
Boss: WHAT IS THIS!
Me: Oh yeah by the way we slept on your posh bed, heh.

The rest of the time was spent with me sitting on the couch yawning and breathing in posh air, while my boss sat on the other couch yelling "Tiffany hurry up it's 7pm!" when it's only 6pm...
XD!!!

Okay anyway I totally felt like some princess, having been treated to buffet lunch at Fullerton (which costs $58/- omg!) and then exploring the whole hotel, then sleeping on queen-sized bed with a $50 note in my pocket *haha*, then the surprise didn't end there!
Before D&D started, my boss told me that I could go back to the office and get my bag, and a "secret surprise on my table" *faints again*
(Oh yeah I didn't go for D&D, dowan lah)
So I made my way back to office and SCREAMED~~!!! xD heehee.
On my table were sooo many gifts! I came home and straight away took photo~

($50 Robinson's voucher that I've no idea what to spend on lol)

(See the Fullerton paper bags behind! Hee. I stole a bottle of exquisite body lotion too in front of my boss... He asked if I wanna steal the hotel slippers too. Oh yeah you know what's inside that black pouch thing?)

(THIS!! looool...I've no idea what the heck are all these...USB ports, wires with every possible "head" i've seen...xD)

(My boss wrote me a really sweet card too. At first I was like, aww a card...BUT THEN, when I opened it...)

(Holy Crappers, $100 inside!!! ARGGGHHH!!!!)

Shit. $100 in card, $50 robinson voucher, $58 lunch buffet... My boss spent $200+ on ME alone o_O;;
He's soooooooooooooo nice *w*
Plus the other gifts too, they're probably another $50 or so looking at that expensive chocolate... and the fact that he let us use his hotel room for the afternoon... *teary eyes*

More fun to come tomorrow and Sunday itself~! Oh man, i'm gonna die of over-excitement xD

Behehe. 15 more mins and D.Gray-man starts ^^
I'm quite tired though... ONE MORE WEEK OF WORK OMG!!!
*spazzes on floor*
I'm sooooooooo happy. Even though everyone's saying they're sad and I think they really are sad to have me go =P lol.
But anyways it's less than 3 weeks now to my departure~

Going to cut hair with OJY tomorrow, hopefully she wakes up on time =X
Then going shopping her again on sunday lol... Then the sat after that will be dying hair day xD haha...I wonder how things will turn out.

Anyway on a rather...weird note. Andrea told me her aunt and grandma are deciding to put her on a separate flight from us. Nice T_T;;
This is so unbelievable, man. She's gonna be alone all the way to heathrow, and gotta still wait there for about 2hrs before we actually come out of the gate with our luggages in tow... =(
Her aunt says Andrea needs to be independent.
I'm just...not too happy about this. JY and Penny aren't too.
Independence should never overrule safety =(

Have you ever made a friend in just a short moment of time, yet knowing you'll never see him/her again? =3
Okay. This isn't some emo, omg-I'm-dying-soon post.
It's International Exchange Students orientation from today til Thurs. Already today I saw the most foreigners in my whole life~!
A loooooooot of Ang Mohs particularly. The interesting thing was all of them were speaking their native language - and it wasn't English.

Anyway I made a new friend, it was a rather lame "meeting" cuz apparently he couldn't decide which timeslot to go for, so he sat down beside me and stared at his organiser xD
His name is Tal, and I learnt that he's from Israel~
Ok kill me now, cuz I used to think Israel people looked like refugees or smth lol~!! *gets shot* But nooo...Tal had the typical look; blonde skin blue eyes..
OMG did I say blonde skin?!
I mean!!! Blonde HAIR blue eyes.
anyways there was no one else around and I was bored as hell, so we started talking nonsense. (as usual, waddya expect from ME)
Heh, he couldn't believe his ears when I told him I was going to UK to do my degree, IN ONE YEAR xD
Seems like this is some kinda world phenomenon and a lot of people are strangling me in disbelief~

It went like, "I'm going to UK to get my degree...in one year."
"W-....what?"
"huh?"
"One year?"
"Yup! ^^"
"How old are you?!"
"20"
"*stare.............*"

That's when I found out his eyes were blue. After he stared xD
Hmm well. We talked for 45mins before he left. Y'know, I've never talked to a stranger for so long before...as though I knew him for years already. It was kinda weird, since our backgrounds were so different and he was like from planet Pluto to me. *lmao*
Actually although I've quite a few ang moh friends, it isn't exactly easy talking to all of them especially the guys. And ESPECIALLY, when you meet them for the first time. =3
But somehow the conversation just comes out naturally...*shrugs*
I guess...unless they start staring at you with their big blue pale eyes and you feel like taking a stick and poking them xD

Awwrite. I shall keep it short for today. ^^
Kevin just sent me more cosfest photos. Whee~!!

I loved these two photos...

Of course, who can forget the EPIC star of the day - Limy!!
Oh man, I cant wait to see you again on 31 Aug, babe~! She promised to come look for me and Jiaying lol...

LOL pawned~!!

Had a seriously eventful weekend this week!!
All my weekends are booked from here on, lol...busy busy!

Finally went to groom Candy on Saturday. I bought her 3 "bones" too, she's totally spazzing out ^^
Oh man, Jiaying said Candy looks like a "little boy" now. Haha~!! Oh noes.

D'awwww~~

Ok anyway I had a fruitful NTUC shopping trip with my dad. Bought a hell lot of stuff, all those itsy-bitsy-necessary stuff for survival =/
Also went to Bugis and Peace Centre with Jiaying in the afternoon around 3.30pm to run errands, especially collecting our animation frames omg~! It's been one month since we went to bind them the shop keeper almost couldn't find them xD
Anyway my stooopid kiwi frames which were once a stack of mess has now become a beautiful beautiful hard cover booklet with GOLD words ^^

Feels so official...Ahh...

Shopped around bugis street for only ONE hour cuz we needed to collect our booklet by 6pm and by the time we reached there it was 5pm eeep. =X
But in this one hour I bought quite a lot of things! *ish happy at least*

Finally got the long boots I wanted ^^
Jiaying got the same too (ahaha when will we ever have something different) just that it's black. I didn't want black cuz my previous boots were already black. hehh..

I always wanted arm warmers too, and this red-black-striped one is the last in the shop =D
Holy smoley, when I opened the pack there were actually TWO arm warmers inside! lol. One for each hand, but I think i'm only gonna wear one hand cuz well, two stripey arms look weird. xD
I could wear this for the JRock photoshoot when we meet Mitchell and his gang too~

Okay! BBQ at Sam Lee's house at night. I looooved the food xD
I heard there's gonna be some BBQ for Bower Ashton students in UK like, the first week of school? L.O.L.
I may be wrong though. There're a ton of silly welcome things I'm confused now. But according to Shuzhen 100% of them are clubbing expeditions so...lol xD

TODAY wasn't so eventful, I slept til 12pm and slept again until 1pm (it's blissful to sleep in ^^). Woke up and groggily watched some weird show on Channel 18 (I forgot what channel and forgot what show. ha.) about some daughter and grandpa working at a fast food joint and the grand-daughter wants to fire the grand-dad T_T

Eheh. Ate lunch at 3pm then proceeded to prepare dinner xD
Today's my turn to cook~!! Once again, cook for the entire family. Power, man!!
My recipe for today: Chicken & Potato curry, served with fried Pita bread, with rice and topped with Alize Wild Passion wine (my favourite!!) + Almond dessert to finish it all!
Best thing is I cooked this ENTIRE dinner myself k~!! *achievement*

Here's the Chicken Curry I cooked. Everyone said my curry was really nice YAAAAAAAAY~
I did everything myself, from marinating the chicken (a.k.a drowning them in excessive sauce ehee) to peeling the potatoes. Gawd, peeling potatoes is a pain in the ass seriously. My back ached, so did my butt =X

Fried Pita bread~!! Dunno why must fry leh, but my dad say fry so I fry. xD

Yehh, that's the almond desert I made ^^

My faaaavourite wine of all time, besides Bailey's. I think I mentioned this a thousand times by now xD
I'm not so much of a beer fan though. Beer is like, for rugged big beer-bellied uncles and Ah Peks who sit around coffee shop and shout when Tiong Bahru United soccer team scores. o_O;;
OK wadeva. That football club doesn't exist, i think xD

yay, I'm gonna cut hair with Jiaying next Sat. Excitingggg~!!
We're going for a new hairstyle!! I wonder how short JY will cut *heehee*

Ah~! I'm blogging at 12midnight! What's wrong with me! I've work tomorrow!
*dies*
Had such a terrible stomachache just now I lao sai-ed like crazy o_O
Remember how Tsura said his shit came out like "Japanese missiles" when we were in Thailand?
I think mine came like Tsunami!
Ahahaha~...ha...ha....ha....
*goes to poo for the 100th time*

Oh gawd. My stomach ='(
Anyway.. It's gonna be a super eventful month for me, I don't even know if i've time to breathe! =P
Penny's birthday celebration this Friday *ehehehe* (no more details! LOL!), Candy grooming the very next day and possibly going NTUC shopping with Jiaying *lmao*...then going to Bugis to finally collect our animation frames.
Sunday 17th August is free, currently. I might wanna finish that art piece that's sitting in my comp for months now T_T
Saturday after that, hair cutting trip with Jiaying (dunno whether Andrea coming along)...
And the next Sunday after that, mafia photoshoot and Cosplay Matsuri all rolled into one~!
Limy said she'll be there, and she'll call me if she can't find us =P

In September itself, Ria's scheduling a tanning session for us girls lol.
Time to fry myself before I go to UK and...turn white o_O Ahahaa...

When I finally fly over to the land of Pounds and Pennies (heehee!), there's even more things to do~! I know we're gonna meet up with Nicolien (Cataclysm-x on deviantART) and other UK deviants including Mitchell Nelson lol...
He made me guess & guess where he moved to. RAH~!! *shoots*
Where's "near Bristol but not near Bristol?" Grrr.....
Anyway I was right. Swindon.
Said he might take us around his lovely hometown but nothing's confirmed yet. Eheh.

oh yay, my stomachache's gone =D

Omgggg...spent almost 2hrs trying to set up my new blog o_O
WHY DID BLOGGER CHANGE SO MUCH?! Mfsugrnrgfhiki!!
*calms down*
Meh. Anyway my new blog will be up soon enough ^^
I'm pretty happy with the result so far...heeheehee *shuts up for now* =D

Yush~!!
It's National Day today so I must act patriotic and say Happy National Day!! *big grin*
Eheh, y'know...
I didn't know I could hear the fireworks from this new house of mine.
When we heard the "Boom boom!" my Ah Ma and I thought raining so went to close all the windows.
HAHAHAHAHA~!!!
T_T

Anyway to sum up what happened yesterday in a series of unfortunate/fortunate events...

Went for VISA application for the 2nd time at 11am.
Got the exact same fateful queue number o_O
Waited until 1.30pm til it's finally my turn.
Woman took almost HALF A FRIGGIN' HOUR to look through all my documents and finally concluded that I needed my original bank book @_@
Went to toilet and turned on my phone to call my mom (yes, phones were not allowed in the application centre).
Made desperate arrangements beside stupid VISA place closes at 3pm and by the time the woman finished assessing my documents, it was 2pm x_X
And still need to take biometric shit and for some reason my fingerprints couldn't be detected.
Thank God my mom drove me home at the speed of light to get her bank book.
She had to escape from office =X
Tried desperately to call the VISA office for half an hour~!!
I almost cried. =(
Finally got through at 2.55pm and told them I couldn't make it by 3.
Thankfully the person said I could arrive at 3.30~!! *faints*
My mom almost got into an accident o_O
I reached VISA application centre at 3.15pm and stupid security guard laughed at me "You again? Ehehe"
Shoved the bank book to the visa people like I was stabbing someone.

After the ordeal was over, I finally met back with jiaying at City Hall and we went to see WCG =)
World Cyber Games~
Nothing much, though. The percentage of guys to girls was 90% to 10%.
Out of the 10% of girls, 9% were either ppl selling MP3s/gadgets or disgusting short-skirt girls standing beside weird-looking cars.
So yup, I made up the remaining 1% of normal female population then =3
Oh, I took a random piece of gaming newspaper from a stand...I think it's free xD

After WCG we went over to town to erm, run some errands and...KINO! =D
Kino's on 20% sale hoooooray~! I managed to get my hands on this...

The art looks gorgeous...^^

W00f~ I'm having a slight headache now...better go sleep.
Btw I packed in my winter clothes and stuff...I guess about 30% of my bag is full! EEK!
Still have space ba... I need to 'sai' everything in like crazy and let my bag explode when I reach UK xD

W00t~!! Omg I was so surprised when I checked my deviantART account just now =D
A total of 6 new watchers in just 2 days, holy crap~!!!
And yes, 30 new favourites too it's unbelieeeeevable!! A new record! Omg. The last record was like, 22 favourites cuz some crazy woman (but thank God for her) faved 22 of my deviations and watched me ahaha...
But now it's from lots of different people and wow I spent a good 45mins thanking each and every one of them.

Anyways yesterday...I COOKED for the family. Ahahhaa thank goodness I didn't burn the kitchen down or burn my dog's tail...
Bwaah Candy was running around the kitchen looking at me cook. (Am i that interesting y-y-you...dog!!)
Eheh. She was cute though. I fed her some bits and she gobbled them up, cooked or uncooked o_O
I guess doggies really trust their masters a lot =3

Here's what I cooked. ^^

(Meat buns stuffed with vegetables!! Or vegetable bun stuffed with meat, whichever)

(Macoroni Yong Tao Foo, however it's spelt.)

(I cutted watermelon toooo! heh heh. Cutted.)

(To top it all, I opened a bottle of WINE yay yay ^^ I forgot what wine is it but it's delicioussss...I've been drinking wine since primary school thanks to my siao dad)

Okie~
Went shopping with mummy today.. Or more like hunting for winter clothes and all other unnecessary stuff ahahaaa...xD
Omg I found this pretty nice winter jacket which is so uber thick you can roll me in the snow and you'll probably can't differentiate me and other snowballs rolling around @_@
My mom's also getting me another blue jacket that I totally fell in love with~! ^^
And...thermal wear. Yellow thermal wear hahaha.
But who cares, it's supposed to be worn inside.
Oh holy craps I'm gonna look like some fluff-ball T_T
I hope...my friends don't make fun of me =X

Now come the unnecessary things. Haha ok...they ARE necessary actually. just that I was supposed to be getting winter stuff today but ended up making a few detours xD
But I'm glad we did! Bought so many thingies today =D

(Like this wonderful bag which I totally wanted. YAY now I have a new bag for UK! no more frilly-rotten-broken-string-hanging-out-zip-spoil bag! =D)

(New MP3 pouch that has 2 separate compartments so I can dump my MP3 itself into one, and the ear-phones into the other. No more tangled up ear-phone-mess when I decide to listen on the bus hahaa)

(Shiat, what are all these? Err...new socks, new underwear, new hair-tie things, new eyebrow plucker thingy, dental floss...xD)

My mom bought a hell lot of underwear AGAIN.
As expected, my dad rolled his eyes so much I swear they'll turn into a jackpot machine one day. Y'know, Ka-ching!! and the jackpot rollllssss...

Woo...gonna get my VISA yet again on 8th August...sianz~

Ooh I'm having a massive headache right now from too much exposure to sun, but I'm still happy =D
Firstly we had the annual staff outing today, and I was just in time for it cuz I'm leaving in one month's time. At least it's a break from sitting in front of the computer the whole day~=3
It was, however, Faizah's last day yesterday so she missed this outing to Fort Canning Park =(
Since I took leave yesterday for VISA, I didnt get to see her one last time... but anyways she left a token in the form of a Toberone bar!!! for me on my table yay~!
It just HAD to be hidden under a pile of posters my african boss dumped on my table haha...

In anyways this is just a short and fun update.
A bunch of random stuff:
In short, my stupid VISA was "rejected" because of stupid bank statement problem. Loved Super Mario Kart DS game and I wanna play with Penny again. I wanna stay overnight at Jiaying's new house! Cosplay Matsuri is on on 31st Aug and we're gonna have our Mafia Photoshoot that day! Limy's gonna bring her Lavi Bunny I HOPE~!! Coscon/WCG is on 8th and 9th August *majulahhhh singapooo...RAH!* and Jiaying will most probably wanna go for it either one of those days...I might tag along.

One more thing. The Dark Knight...is.awesomeness.
Batman was lame as usual xD Big bulky macho guys are just not my thing.
Thus, Christian Bale to me, is just an actor with nice EYEBROWS. ^^
The main reason I wanted to watch this show, alike every other person whose not a fan of Batman, is because I wanted to see the joker. I wanted to see Heath Ledger.

True enough, The Dark Knight didn't disappoint! Heath Ledger is truly one great actor, I dunno whether it's because it's his last movie *eeeeeek* or not but his acting as Joker was really good.
The only other reason I liked the show was cuz of all the suspense.
Those gunshots...the sound effects...AWESOME.
I never expected some ppl to die, and some to live.
The best thing was after 1 and a half hours, you think the show has ended but THEN! You realise there's another hour! And for some who already know, 2-face hasn't appeared yet.
It's sooooooooo good ^^

Ok enough ranting, it's not like i'm a Batman fan anyway. IF the joker had been someone else I'm not sure if I would've watched that show though =X lol.
Time for some pictures~!!
Of Ria and Meiling's birthday last Sunday at Dome's!
So glad you girls enjoyed the gifts and insane surprises! And big thanks to Ave for cleverly crafting out the entire evil plan! *mwahaha*
The wackiest birthdays always happen with you girls, other than Andrea's birthday this year (which I planned, lol) which was quite insane too and im happy it was a success xD

Ok just imagine...You are asked to do a lame survey at The Face Shop and then you win a limited prize... Or suddenly you are called to the counter halfway eating and are told you received a gift from a stranger.
Would you do that lame survey? Would you accept the gift??
These were what Ria and Meiling went through and it was totally as planned~! AHAHA...

Before the big surprise, we roped in the manager of DOME to help us decorate a plate with the words "Happy Birthday Maria and Meiling" with chocolate.
We also bought 2 cheesecakes and sprinkled M&Ms all over them. Then...the cake was hidden.

Ria and Meiling finally came, got their first surprise of us singing horribly and at the top of our lungs outside DOME xD
Second surprise came when we were waiting for our food inside. This came in the form of BIRTHDAY CARDS~
(lol Ria screeeeeamed when she saw hers. Epic win.)

Then come the presents~!!!!

Finally, the CHEESECAKES!

eheh...rock solid frozen M&Ms are the best!
Although I advise against those with weak or no teeth.

(LOL.)

Oh yay, I think the last birthday I might celebrate before I fly off to UK with my buddies is Joanne's xP
Not sure what other crazy ideas we'll come up with. Ave's thinking of...doing something really nuts in the middle of Orchard Road to surprise her.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh~!!!! Nothing's confirmed yet!! xD

Wheee~

Whooaaaw I'm as fried as a lobster but as satisfied as a...pig! o_O
Not that pigs are satisfied creatures.. anyway!
Went to the beach today~!! holy crap, it's been ages since I last visited any beach *kisses the sand*
Even though the beaches in Singapore are spilled with glorious crap, at least the Singapore sun is friendly.
(Yesh...although there's one sun, it always seems to treat me differently in different countries.)

Started off with breakfast with Ave, Joanne, Oli, Shuzhen, YongBing, Joshua, Edwin, Sam Lee and Sam Q.
It was a happy breakfast...ahaha ^^
(friggin' macdonald's stupid breakfast cost $6.05 bwaaah~!!!)

ooh yeah. After breakfast Sam Q and I lazed around at the break waters (my favourite place on the beach) for about 30mins before joining the rest again~
I swear I could just sleep there if not for the squeaking cockroaches beneath o_O
Wells. We rented bikes and went for a GREAT CYCLING WORKOUT!!! all the way to Changi airport! lol!
(btw, Ria and Swing joined us late. As usual xD)
yupyup, cycled for 2 hours straight. The wind was greatness and I totally discovered a new path if you cycle beyond Safra! omggg...wonderfulness =D
Everytime ppl stop at Safra and turn back thinking it's a dead end cuz of those stone thingies popping out from the ground (what are they called? barriers?)
But Sam Lee was so fervent in reaching Changi airport that we cycled past~
I'm so going back there again!

At the 2hrs, backside ache, leg ache, toe ache, head ache, nose ache...
It was a damn good workout ^^
Can feel the fats burning to death everytime we stopped at some traffic light. woo!
Thank God I bought that "Aloe Vera After Sun" thing, it's awesome k. If not I'll be peeling like some zombie with flesh hanging out.
Ahahahaha~!! Ok maybe not that gross.
At least that moisturiser kept me hydrated...while I slept like a dead pig with mouth open the whole afternoon ahaaaa...:D

It's a really superb day.
Imagine hanging out with friends, cycling til your ass hurts but your legs grew slimmer *wahaha YAY*, then hanging out for lunch at some unknown hawker centre with delicious Chicken Rice, going home to a wondrous hot bath, screaming at yourself in the mirror cuz you're turning pink, indulging in Aloe Vera moituriser in front of the nice cool FAN, then sleeping all the way til 9pm, waking up to a sumptuous Japanese dinner and cursing yourself for not waking up earlier, gulping down all the sushi ignoring the poor begging dog beside you, and then coming up to the room again to chill with music and...BLOG!

Alright that sums up what happened to me today.
Thank God for nice weather, nice friends, nice tan =D

Anyways i'm proud of Meiling's birthday card! *shhh*
It's really beautiful when alot of people write long messages one on card, it feels so...united ^^

We're still missing Isabelle and Weiyann, but Weiyann will write tomorrow morning when I see her. Isabelle...gotta pull her to some toilet and write on the toiletbowl or smth. We'll see =D

yaaaaaaaay birthday celebration for Meiling and Riaa tomorrow, I can't wait!
We're planning an outrageous surprise. Will update again!
I'm glad my cell friends are so daring and creative in making people happy. that's why i've always been like that, wanting the best for everyone's birthday. Everyone I care for =)

If my dad had a blog... It'll be way stupider than mine xD
Just 2 days ago he flew off to Korea, and since he booked a cab at such an unearthly hour as 5.15am, the cab driver is no better than a zombie.
The minute my dad dunked his small luggage (I bet it contains nothing but a stack of underwear) into the back seat, the zombie cab driver DROVE OFF~!!
Alas, the peaceful silence of the night was broken tragically by a 50-year-old screaming man running after COMFORT taxi...*lmao!!!*

And then my dad ah, can only run at most 2 houses away before he gave up T_T
Thankfully when he was about to call COMFORT service, the zombie cab driver drove back. haha! And thus the pile of underwears were safe.
Ahem.

Anyway yay my dad's back from Korea now and goodness gracious he bought a whole pack of "Heavenly Ginseng"
*pukes all over floor*
What's so fascinating about Ginseng anyway...my Ah Ma was beaming with joy o_O

Anyhoo.
I realise i've been working here in this place for 2 months, whoosh~! My goodness, the guys here are evilllll!! For some reason they love disturbing me.
But at the same time they're pretty daring to admit stuff right in my face, like... TY (names undisclosed for their erm, safely o_O) told me "Are you always this funny.. You're really cute, you know?"
@_@
Today, Al said I made his day and that "you're daaaaaamn cute sia, how the hell does your boyfriend tolerate you!"
@_@;;

Btw I didn't reply to any of their questions. TY thinks i'll bring home some Ang Moh boyfriend from UK...and that he was envious of me.
LOL I said "you want an ang moh boyfriend too?" I think...he passed out. ^^

Anyways it's just one year, fellas. And, i'd prefer to have good friends instead of jumping into some psycho relationship. It's like might as well marry a Polar-bear-man (what are they called? Eskimos?) and see if you can live with him first then consider long-distance relationships.
OMG WHY am I talking about this weird subject o.O

Moving on....!!
Hmm, i've nothing much to say for now except that...
1) I'm missing almost every episode of Prison Break I needa start torrenting it now! BWAH!

2) I started watching KHR! (Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn) =D I don't know many characters yet cuz i've only started watching, but here's my take:
Tsuna: Irritatingly funny dude, the main character...
Reborn: At first I was TOTALLY freaked out by him, but now i think...he's cute :3
Gokudera: LOL stupid italian man! Jiaying said he's lame. Yes, I agree fervently.
Bianchi: *wth?!*
Tsuna's mom: Ahaha...explosion outside the house = big shopping sale. Win.
Lambo: WTH, I still don't find him cute. I wanna...chop off his afro hair grrrr grrrr
Yamamoto: Really sweet guy who thinks everything is a joke/game. I dunno, im in love with his big brown eyes. He never seems to have any expression though...He's like, @w@
Hibari: What is he? Head disciplinarian izzit? I still dunno why ppl like him too... he looks weird to me.
Kyoko-chan: `nuff said.
Random purple-hair girl that stalks Tsuna and Reborn: ARGH, go away, woman!!
Random purple-hair girl that stalks Tsuna and Reborn's dad: ARGH, go away, old man!!

I think...there are other characters to come but anyways. Here's the opening to KHR! I'm in love with the song~!! ^^

Drawing Days [KHR Opening 1] - Splay

The small guy with the lizard is Reborn himself. Heh, did he freak you out? Well I was totally going "what on earth is this" but after a few episodes he seems...cute.

yay yay, I babbled so much. maybe it's time to watch another episode of KHR! lol.

P.S. oh yeah! Congratulations to Andrea for getting the MDA scholarship! I'm so gonna tell Belle and Ria this sat. Belle worked for MDA before...she was the one telling us everything ^^

Aww...in the end the mafia photoshoot didn't happen =(
At least it got postponed...not cancelled.
=3
Hopefully everyone can make it the next time. No, they MUST! haha...

Anyways before the week starts itself again and I go back to work etc~
I'm entertaining myself all i can. o_O
Went out with my girls today just to catch up.
Nfufufu...and found out someone likes Ria. LOL! NOT TELLIN'!
though i don't think he reads my blog but anyway.

Next few weeks are gonna be super eventful, everyone/everything's packing themselves on me all cuz im gonna be gone for a next year or so.
Yupp! Apart from work every mon to fri + the weird staff outing on 1st August, my cell's having Beach Outing this coming Sat. I heard there's gonna be Captain's Ball? L.O.L.
Ria wants to go kayaking and Swing wants to rollerblade.
I think the guys will just rot eating potato chips.

The coming Sunday after that, Free Facial courtesy of Ave xD
Free mah, go lor.
Singaporean mindset hahaaa.
I think we're doubling up as birthday celebration for Ria and Meiling? Hoho!

Sometime next week too I've to take leave for VISA application @_@
But yay, i love leaves. Heh. Not the things that grow on trees.
LEAVE. from work.

Let's see...plus another 3 more birthdays next month! Woo!
ok yay i'm feeling really random now and looking at my MAKE-UP KIT that never existed until this year, i'm surprised to find lots of nonsense inside. Lol...
Most of which are given to me, of course. Never used them til this year...
And because i'm lame, I took pictures =3

Both eyeshadow thingies were given during sec sch, including the blusher (that i've never used) and compact powder. Other stuff are just the basic: Liquid eyeliner, concealer, mascara, pencil eyeliner, lip balm, lip shine thing (which is no use, hmm).

Oh. And foundation too =P

Uhh...eye make-up remover. It's damnnn good I trust NIVEA now ^^

Oh yes. Just before Cosfest my coloured contacts arrived and I actually took pics of them little eyeballs cuz...they were funny x)

FreshLook is a trustworthy brand, fellas =D

Opening...

Alamak! Open wrong side. Spoil. Just tear. Don't care.

1 little, 2 little, 3 little eyeball...o_O
Haha omg they look like eggs or something. I like this colour anyway, yay

Jiaying wants to try Amethyst (purple) next time, lol.
I think I wanna try GREY!! It's funny grey is a "natural" colour...hmm.
In anyways, since i'm on the eyeball topic, I finally got a whole year's supply of contacts today for a DAMN CHEAP price! =D
12 pairs of Acuvue (it's a better brand than Bausch & Lomb) monthly contacts for $117. Original price, $160. W00t~!
Now I don't have to hunt around for little eyeballs in UK now. I expect we'll be hunting around for alot more things anyway~

Woo...slightly more than a month away...

Ooomggg...im uber excited for tomorrow~!! =DD
Haha.
The mafia photoshoot is finally here! Mwahaa.
Jiaying and i had a rather eventful day today, going all around Bugis to Somerset *flop*
At least we got a LOT of things done ^^
Satisfiedddddd~
We:
1) Finally went to bind our FYP frames in nice hard cover book with erm, gold words. xD
2) Finally went to frame our jigsaw puzzles *lol*
3) Finally bought the gun(s) we wanted! All ready for photoshoot tmr.
4) Jiaying finally bought the funny lamp she's been staring at for so long for.. (now she owes me $50 hahaa...)
5) And....we finally went to thread our damn eyebrows!! x_X

Ok that was a weird experience, threading eyebrows.
We wanted to go cuz it was cheap (like, $7) and we thought we should really do something about that mess above our eyes lol
Maybe the next "finally" thing we're gonna do is DYE OUR HAIR but hmm. We'll probably do that in UK mwahaa~

Anyways alot of ppl say eyebrow threading is painful etc...
Hmms from my experience today I guess it IS painful but somehow i think braces are more painful o_O
I've been through having braces, undergoing damn painful facial (my mother lah!), and now eyebrow threading ^^
It's just a moment of pain and then the end~!
Jiaying made so much funny noises the woman kept laughing xDD
And I was outside wondering what were all those noises hahaha

Ok yay, I bought my gun today *lmao*
And Jiaying bought her scary rifle. now we're ready to shoot anyone HEH!
I think we're gonna look so scary tomorrow, the 5 of us or so. But who cares - it's fun!
Boy i'm such a villian in the making.

So many things have happened in the short span of a few days I keep wanting to blog but my mind keeps telling me to go to sleep cuz every day i needa wake up at 6.30am T_T
So now it's Friday, and i can sleep in tomorrow.
H00rah~!! *jump and flip!*

Omigoodness, yes, Cosfest update. hahaa...
I'm just gonna post a few photos here that aren't already on my deviantART journal, you just read the full scoop on my dA journal!
Here's the link!
http://little-kaiyou-kame.deviantart.com/journal/19287677/

Here's just a quickie update.
These were our hoodies on the first day of Cosfest. We were cosplaying The World Ends With You, SquareEnix's latest Nintendo DS game.
Omg this is like, our first ever cosplay and i'm seriously proud of our accomplishment, though we look like total n00bs xD

(These were our hoodies that we hand-painted for 2 whole hours the night before. Lol next time we should really start early, man! Almost died.)

(This is the game I was talking about.)

(The two guys on the left here...)

(...came to live at Cosfest2008!!! ahaha)

(Erm yay, took photo with handsome Granado Espada musketeer! I look like shit.)

(And together with the famous LIMY! I look like shit again. haha...we were damn tired and were just wondering around aimlessly when we found her. Aww)

(Ok yay, 2nd day of Cosfest! We were no more cosplaying anything. We were just...MAFIA HITMEN lol)

(Grabbed this other Granado Espada dude in the middle of nowhere and asked him to pose for us. ChangBoon took this photo before realising he stepped on chewing gum. Ahaha!! And anyway i realised this dude isn't as cute now LMAO!!)

(Ever saw Mafia sitting on steps eating Apple Pie?)

(What about McChicken burger xD)

OK END OF PHOTOS~!! *Mwahaha*
Damn short update rite? Please read my deviantART journal for the full update! Together with more wonderful pictures we took.
I'm a little disappointed I didn't buy alot of art this time, cuz we were sooo busy running around photoshooting, meeting people, screaming at people, and not forgetting we have a BOOTH to mend!
Well at least our booth neighbour, the awesome *ASAKURA-MISAKICHI (her real name is Joanne too, lol) gave me a FREE print of hers and signed on it.

(yay!)

(I think the only art i bought that day was *YUE-ICESEAL's. I'm glad I did ^^)

Overrall I really loved CosFest2008 and although we'll sadly miss Cosfest 2009 because we'll be touring Europe then (but that's a good thing, aye?), we'll be back for Anime Expo BIGGER AND BETTER I promise~! =D
And we won't be so n00b then. hahaa...
Once again i'm so happy to meet Limy, Joanne, KIDCHAN, ZEMOTION, YUE-ICESEAL and a host of other wonderful people ^^

Alright. I really need to catch up on my anime.
I missed like, 5 episodes of Bleach and Naruto and Neo Angelique and even D.Gray-man omg~!! x_X And now I really wanna watch KHR *dies instantly*

Oh wells, got an eventful month ahead.
Mafia professional photoshoot next week, maybe.. lol
Plus Andrea's coming to my house tomorrow to draw. Woo~
And not forgetting our accomodation for UWE is gonna be announced this month too?
So many things~~

erm anyway I saved all the photos to my hard disk already and will post them up soon!

In the meantime, I just wanna say I really really loved everything that happened at CosFest 2008; the awesome cosplayers, the famous people we met, our not-too-bad sales at our very first booth, the competition...
I loved all the new friends i made, this is really one world that's so different from elsewhere..
I mean, people think japanese anime and stuff are all cutesy and bleargh~
Well there ARE cutesy and bleargh stuff like squealing multi-colored hair girls, but anime is NOT totally about that and meeting all these beautiful people gave me a new insight ^^

I will definitely post up pictures soon~! =D
I just wanna add, Limy i'm in love with your cosplays, don't look down on yourself babe!

Cheerios for now~

This....is the 222th post!! :DD
haha random. Anyway I just posted a journal on deviantART to advertise for Cosfest2008, this exciting exciting event that i'm so looking forward to now.
I'm so delighted to find out just a few mins ago that YUE-ICESEAL advertised for Jiaying and me omgggg.. and i didn't even know. haha
I'm really honoured when popular artists feature or just mention me in their journals or deviations.

So anyway, the Toy & Comic con ended today.
jiaying and i went back again today for a short while just to see the cosplayers and HOLY SCHMOLEY!!!! We met JESUKE!!! hahaha.
She's famous on dA for cosplaying. I didn't even recognise her when jiaying suddenly yelled out "It's Jesuke!!"
yay, we took photo with her too. Apparently her brother was there, hah.

Prior to Comic Con we went to LIPS at far east to collect my chain, plus buy our hoodies...
And we bought hats too! lol.
Jiaying wanted a top hat but then non-shiny non-clown one was like, $35 o_O
So we got the shorter kinda hats for $16, a discounted price since we bought 3 (one for penny too, yay!)
I'm kinda really happy now cuz we're almost done with our outfit for Cosfest xD
Only left the painting of the design on our hoodies and touchups on the silver chain (those little areas where the spray paint couldn't reach)

HOOOOORAY~!

I've a little more energy now so i'll upload some photos of the Toy & Comics Con.
First up we saw a couple of dolfies. Only some are really pretty but i guess they didn't display the REALLY pretty ones. Ha, do i make sense?

(damn cute little gundam *awww*)

(Giant mega gundam that stands 4m tall~!!!! hahaha! no. It's actually small xD)

(LOL lego Yoda who looks weird.)

(Edward Scissorhands doll! omg so CUTE! I never thought edward scissorhands was cute xD)

(Incredibly nice poster of Dolfie photography. These dolls can look really good)

(Erm, there was this simultated-chair thing and they were screening FFVII:Advent Children...the ppl on the chair were supposed to feel like they're into the movie. Interesting.)

(Weird...man. I dunno what's he supposed to be? Reminds me those black running creature people in Half-life whom i'm supposed to kill and they burst into a thousand pieces when they die @_@)

(yay pirate)

(Militant, lol. Beside him was this terrorist-cosplayer but i didn't want to take his photo)

(The Cosplay competition started...these were the Top10. I didn't manage to capture the Afro dude cuz there were 10 of them on stage, but uhh, it seems his face appeared on the screen. HAHA!)

(Genesis cosplay!! I thought he was really really good.)

(Oh yes OMG WE MET JESUKE~!! This is her! Dressed as Lockon Stratos from Gundam00. Awesomeness...so happy we got to talk to her)

We wanted to take photo with Genesis but he disappeared within seconds after the results =(

After 5 days of working plus a whole day out today...no rest, man!
But today was aaaaawesome =D

I'd a wonderful porridge lunch with Ria and then we finally bought coloured contacts~!!
lol. They'll only arrive next Friday though.
Thankfully my African boss approved my leave so YAY FRIDAY I'M OFF!! ^^
I dunno how i'll look in those contacts, lmao... but the colour i bought was "Pure Hazel" and i guess it should be really natural. Ria bought grey, hoho.
Daring woman~

Erm yah and I bought this Aloe Vera "After Sun" moisturising lotion for tanning.

(yay his hair colour matches the...bottle cap! o_O)

I really need time off to tan and stuff... I'll prob go with Jiaying and then another time with my girlfriends yay~
What else...oh I took my passport photo today with my hair in a big mess. But who cares anyway, they gave me a nice black CD cover xD

At around 2.30pm, I friggin' got LOST in suntec city T_T
oh wells i paid for jiaying's milo dinosaur cuz her lunch was stalled cuz of me.
Gomen..!!! DD:
Eheh, we visited the Toy & Comic Convention 2008 today!
It was not that crowded like PC show or something with uncles and aunties bashing their way through human bodies o_O
I'll post photos tomorrow cuz i'm too lazy to upload now. Nyah~
Anyway in a nutshell it was great to finally see ZEMOTION in person ^^
And we're gonna see her again next week at CosFest, lol.
I'll probably buy her postcard and ask her to sign...and take some photos...lalala~

Cool stuff.
Meeting all these famous people and they seem so normal in real life =P
Like the kind you'll just walk past on the street. Hmms.
I can't wait for CosFest, somehow.. Even though there's a ton of things to do!
We're cosplaying/dressing up on both days but i shan't tell ya what we'll be for now, neh neh neh!
I'm excited at the thought of meeting even more famous people.

Did a bit of clearing my 1,000 deviation list lol xP
I took one hour, and now im totally exhausted. Still have about 500 left? Nyah~

Anyway on the bright side, my mom and I went to funan to buy stuff cuz it's sale heehee...
We went sometime ago, though. I just...forgot to blog about it *slaps brain*
I was one happy thing after that short 1 and a half hours, yo~! ^^
Bought quite a lot of stuff for uber cheap/affordable prices.
Now i've a new 2GB memory card, a memory card reader, a sleek black PSP cover for my dear Kaien, a new MP3 (the cheapest one but it rocks!) and erm, a stack of 100 paperback CD covers? haha! They're only $5 and i figured i'll need it for proper submission or burning CDs for people etc~

I feel prepared to go UK~!! *mwahaha*
Now i'm awaiting a new laptop but we're waiting for the SMU vendors. Oh Jiaying already got hers, omg. Damn fast haha
My old IBM laptop is cracking up soon but somehow, i still love it...
At least i dun mind giving it to my brother (older) when i get my new baby. =D

Omg i just realised i've alot of "babies". o_O

Aaaanyhow. CosFest is coming up real soon and i'm excited,yeah... although i don't have anything new to sell.

I’m back, I’m back~!! *mwahaa*
It’s been a good 5 days off from boring work and I feel rejuvenated! *JUMP!*
Now I’m back to droning work in the office. Damn these early mornings, I seriously can’t wait for end of August when I’m finally FREE to sleeeeeeep =D
And await the excitement which begins in Sept ^^

The past few days have been a good break, overall the camp was more of a great time of building relationships to me, moreso than learning theoretical stuff lol…
You know I’m not so interested in that kind of stuff - taking down notes and everything.
Ah I wanted to do a day-by-day blogging but then I realized this post is gonna be a million pages long. So here in summary…
Of the good things and the bad. =P
(let’s start with the good things first? Doesn’t matter whichever anyway)

Camp GOOD:
1) Definitely became closer to my cell members, even if it's just the 9 of us
2) Got to know more 'shuai ge' *lmao* (eg. Tristan, Daryl...)
I'm not too familiar with Tristan though, all i know is he's close to the 3 "Musketeers" in my cell (namely Ian, Chris and Joash)...
3) Gala Night was the best night!
4) Camp venue was a beautiful place (photos below). We were in some hotel in KL, forgot the name. The place had this posh victorian-theme ^^

(The Victorian Ballroom was where we had our meals ^^)

5) Found a new friend (Ben) although he's already an adult...

(that's him in the middle~)

6) First time bunking with Sam, it was a helluva experience. Ahaha~!!

(err, the orange cat's called Zac. lol.)

7) Shopping, exploring and getting lost with my girlfriends was fun! Too bad KL nothing much to 'wow' about unless you're amazed by the fake fire at the roof of Sunway Pyramid...o_O
8) Leaping around along corridors was fun!

9) Leaping around on the HOTEL BED was more fun~!! xD
(too bad when i leaped around the camera wasn't "snapping")

Camp BAD:
1) Room service really sucked.
(Ask for bath towel, they give you floor rug o_O And it happened twice)
2) Sam and I got the worse room actually...at the end of the corridor near the stairwell where workers always smoke.. So our room stunk of CIGARETTE SMOKE!

(Bought air freshener for around 3RM that saved our lives~)

3) Room was a little dreary, not as glam as the hotel itself but oh well~

(sad little kitchen in a corner with a boiling flask that is stained BROWNISH-BLACK at the bottom @_@)

(the room was alright, 'cept for the weird table right smack in the middle.. Sam and I shifted the entire room's furniture lol!)

(Ohh, our glorious window view of broken rooftops~~)

(more stuff that kept us alive through the 5 days. the other half of the loot is in our stomachs, where else~xD)

(yay.)

4) Nearly all the security guards, room service people, police, bell boys...STARE at us constantly! 5) The deep cut on my 4th finger... I only felt it when the camp ended haha
6) Farted the most times in my life o_O;;
7) Lost burping contest to Sam!!
8) Seeing Orlando Bloom 3 consecutive times on TV! (bwahaha malaysia channel always shows the same show like, 3 times a week!)

Oooookie~!! My lovelies, thanks for all the fun at GALA NIGHT!
The theme was Lord of The Rings! We were the most creative of the lot, using bath towels and random strings we found in Ria's bag. ahaha~!!
Sam, Ria and I wore bath towels OVER something white inside of course!
Heeeh...Ian kept saying I looked nice and even stuck some shiny plant into my hair.
But I still think i looked gross. x_X

(Before Gala Night, we were already high...)

(Meiling and Ken. Lol he looks like he has 2 horns...)

(OMG-I-FORGOT-THIS-LADY'S-NAME and me!)

(Meiling and Sammmmy)

(wheeee~!)

(Meiling with a spastic looking Joshua and I-THINK-HIS-NAME-IS-BRYAN)

(Someone stuck a random flower into joash's brains)

(the 9 of us!!)

(Hahaha omg i love this photo!! Ian said we should pose like '70s Lao Ah Ma photo...sit very straight and don't smile. HAHAHA their faces are epic!)

=DD

(Back in Meiling and Ave's room...we still haven't calmed down xP)

(Super candid shot of Ria looking like a MANNEQUIN OMG =X Haha I had no idea how this photo turned out, cameras were just flashing everywhere woo)

=DDD

Yay for such a crazy night. We stayed up til 3am watching movies in Meiling and Ave's room...and hoping the cockroach won't come out. (I know it slept peacefully under Ave's bed =D)
Anyhoos~ A few random things before i sign off:

- I need to tan my chicken legs. Need. It. Now. x] Jiaying wants to tan her own chicken legs too so both of us chickens will waddle off to some beach in the near future just before we go UK... maybe Penny can join us. lol~
- Err... I noticed my African boss at work looks like elmo? xDD Except he isn't red.
- My deviantART account had 20 faves in the past 5 days while i was gone. H00rah~!!
- Oh, I met a new little Ang Moh boy at camp called David. He talks alot in the toilet hahaa.... Well he's a KID after all, and needs to follow mummy to the looo...

Woohoo~

Ah, sorry. I was probably too flabbergasted yesterday by MDA x]
I'm not over it yet though. Anyway.
I just wanna clarify, i'm not being pissy just for the fact that i'm not selected.
I know there are like, 116 candidates and goodness know how good they are. I'm just mad at the fact that to them, results are what make a person.
Which is really wrong..
You CANNOT judge a person by his results, moreso poly results because it's a total inaccurate representation of how skilled a person is, or how much leadership qualities someone has.
And MDA looks at results, that's why i found it totally ridiculous.
I'm not alone though.

Oh well enough about them, I guess it's not our fault they lost 4 talented media students who will thrive on their own and contribute to another media society that accepts us ^^

Yosh~! I'm heading off to Malaysia tomorrow for camp! =DD
Finaalllyy....some rest! Heehee.
There's gonna be a shopping trip and lots of fun stuff, i hope my camera has enough memory space! hoho. I'm bunking with Samy =)
Til then, ciao!

After a happy lovely journal comes a dreary stormy one~ xD
Life is full of hearts and shit.
Hahah MY QUOTES! steal them if u wish, i came up with it on the spot anyways.

I dunno, i think i should put another disclaimer? lol the internet is so crazy these days, disclaimers and fine print are needed everywhere.
So here goes.

[Disclaimer: The journal below is meant purely for ranting purposes. It shall not be misunderstood for blatancy (like, obtrusiveness) or even trash-talk because these are real situations and how normal people 'down below' the ranks of society feel. If you're some cocky businessman who happened to chance on my blog for goodness-knows-what reason, please take your kids for picnic. They deserve more attention from you than this blog does. Shoo!]
-----------

Yay, end of disclaimer. I hate 'em business people or adults who have seriously nothing better to do than read people's blogs and sue them.
That's just ridiculous behaviour, sir.

Anyway all this shit disclaimer is cuz i wanna let it all out, about a rather touchy subject?
(lol touchy xD)
It has to do with the government, obviously. I HATE POLITICS.
So don't come at me with your book of laws and whatnot, it's no use.
And i hate talking about the government, esp that of my country's because I always wanted to respect them for their effort which...i sometimes don't see, hmm. o_O
I don't actually care if i'm mentioning names here, I think it's time I spoke fairly.
Of myself, of my friends, of the students in the media industry right HERE.

Maybe i don't know the entire situation, but what i do know, is that the MDA (media development authority, yes) is giving me second thoughts about the media industry here.
To put things in a nutshell, it's pretty sad that MDA themselves, the supposed leader of media in this puny country, looks down on people.
Ha. Who do they look down on? I guess the answer is obvious isn't it...
Everyone.
They look down on all media students.
Y'know, i had doubts about submitting an application for scholarship with MDA. I knew from the start that there was one thing this government of ours would look at - RESULTS.
(you gettin' it now don't ya?)
But still, even after closing both eyes to the lowly beings of this world whom they arrogantly think don't deserve attention at all, they continue to look down on people...
Surprising isn't it...

My dear friends were selected for interview for scholarship, nevermind about me.
I'm speakin up for them because what i do know is that even they were looked down on. It's a tad surprising because well, I always thought MDA was a supportive institute. Seriously.
Nevermind about them looking down on me just because my results couldn't make the cut.
My 2 friends who got the interview chance came out from the interview with the same reaction.
"What the f*** is wrong with this place."
Yeah.
The biggest joke was that MDA wants leaders?! omg.
Lemme tell ya, I bet you half of the people whom they rejected without even looking at their portfolio, have the most leadership qualities. TAKE THAT!
I'm not boasting but my portfolio and resume had tons of leadership qualifications, from Prefect to Peer Leader to Chairman to Publicity Officer of my class, to Student Ambassador.
I participated in IMF, prestigious Design Conferences, got "excellent" for SEAL points...
And what did MDA do to someone like me?
Reject, of course, well her results aren't good~~
*fling portfolio behind them*

And NOW during the interview those people told JY they're looking for leaders.
I laughed out loud at this well, atrocity? It's almost ridiculous how much they "support" the media students here.
I actually thought it was fine because JY's always complaining about interviews (haha) but then, the same thing happened to Andrea.
I'm already kinda pissed at my own rejection, but got over it because all i want is for my friends (especially Andrea) to get the scholarship and come with us to UK.
Now i'm really against MDA for such unfairness in judgement.
To think i forgave them for not choosing me and Penny.
Andrea's really devastated and I am too.

In anyways, because they looked down on the best students of our cohort, they will never be recognised if we make it big one day.
The government never supported me from day one, why should I continue helping the media industry here.
Well Andrea said that should she eventually be chosen, it can only be GOD.
Normally i would think it's just an excuse, but somehow... something clicked within me and because she sounded so serious i didn't wanna interfere.
I know that maybe God is teaching us some lesson i've no idea about, but yeah i somehow believe that if Andrea gets the scholarship, it can only be God. Yeah?

Haai, enough ranting. I'm going for dinner =)
If you, sir, are still reading this and shaking your head because you love MDA and singapore so much, I don't know why you bother wasting time on a pathetic kid's blog like this. Ha.

I don't want religion. I want God.

Ooh after so many sad photo-less entries...I bring you a hoard of DISGUSTING pics that'll leave you screaming on the floor~!!! =DD
Enough of boring work rants, my current job is sucking alot of energy outta me and everyone's just so weird to me cuz i'm the youngest idiot around.. @_@
There're 2 guys (student helpers, me thinks) at the Service Counter who keep trying to strike up conversation with me lmao...

Anyway I managed to snap photos of my desk at work xD *rofl*
I wasn't allowed to do that, of course. But yah, enjoy the plain horror i have to face everyday.

My old OLD computer that makes an irritating groan every now and then.. =X
The only thing keeping me from leaping out the window is that yellow man hanging there...I think he's dead.

And just beside my comp...is a bunch of mess ^^ Plus a hell lot of tissue paper hidden from your view!! *mwahaa*

Ok that's it.
I had a great day yesterday, so great i couldn't walk properly home :D
I hope more great days will await us in UK ^^
Penny and me gonna be like japanese tourists taking photo of everything including a harmless plant, so be prepared for a flood of piccus~
So anyway yesterday was Andrea's birthday. 20th birthday!
Evil me and evil penny thought of ways to surprise her and make it somewhat special since it's her 20th, and since...Andrea doesn't go out of her house??? =X
My plan was to make a lot of presents in big plastic bags and dump them outside the house...then ring the doorbell and RUN AWAY!
heehee.
So our 'crime" was committed on 7th June at 11am not-so-sharp-because-SOMEONE-was-late, and Yewei came along to witness the scene :DD

Jiaying and Penny had the honour of dumping the bags at Andrea's doorstep until we found out...ANDREA'S HOUSE NO DOORBELL!! o_O;;
hahahahahahaha.
So jiaying knocked...and we ran! Ran like the wind!
Fortunately we escaped soon, cuz at that moment Andrea's bro was about to leave the house and open the door nyahaha...
Anyway yes, crime committed and we were happy ^^

Well we met Andrea again in the evening at Marina Square to celebrate her birthday properly so she'll not have mysterious gifts for her 20th birthday and end up crying in some corner.
Apparently she was woken up by shrieks from her sis that there were presents outside their door, heehee. Pleasant surprise~!!
I'm totallllly glad that Andea liked her presents, and the surprise...and wore what we bought her that day! :D *yay*
I've never bought clothes for a friend before and even better that she wore it. I'M the happy girl! *lmao*
Erm well...I've got photos...but i realised that like Yewei's birthday, we only took ONE photo of him and he wasn't even looking at the camera.
Then now Andrea's birthday, she had TWO photos.
HAHAHA~!! *wth*

*cough* yeah, shameless tons of photos of Jiaying me and Penny. Lots of them ^^
One more thing, it's Penny and mine first time ever putting eyeliner (yeah we finally bought it!).

Oh yeah forgot ^^; We went for CosFest meeting after committing the crime at Andrea's doorstep. These huge posters caught our attention!!

Especially Byakuya and Raito *woooo*

Then...we proceeded to MacDonald's for lunch...and a wild makeup session which left Yewei lonely in a corner playing COOKING MAMA on penny's DS. xDD

See, the lonely boy...

HAHAHA don't forget this photo on your wedding day GWAHAHAHA~!!

Penny said she looked fat in the previous photo. So take again. Now i think Yewei's head is BIG o_O

Group shot! Thanks to Mr. Invisible Man who took the photo =D

Left for Marina Square at around 2.45pm...

We saw Pokemon!!! ok just the pictures. But already enough for jiaying to go crazy and needed to be draggggged away 8D

After walking around aimlessly we decided to sit somewhere and wait for the arrival of Queen Andrea~
So we chose an exquisite venue - Burger King =D
Some random Ang moh guy gave us a piece of random tissue randomly...I think he wanted us to clean our table? Erm, thank you? *sweats*
Maybe it was cuz i was screaming about the strand of hair stuck to my seat and desperately trying to flick it away to the horror of Yewei sitting beside me.
Oh shi-

Erm...Andrea came!! Finally. We forced her to put makeup but i wasn't sure if i should do eyeliner for her cuz her eyes were so small and i was scared I'll, y'know, poke her eye.
So i had the honour of doing eye-shadow ^^
Andrea looks gooooooood in green eye-shadow!

We decided to go for dinner at Fish and Co. at Bugis...
Yay mussels~!!

Group shot again! This time taken by a non-invisible man xD
Look. jiaying and I are holding up MUSSELS~!! heh.

I decided to try something new apart from the usual Fish N Chips that we always eat.
So this..is mussel penne! I think.
All I know is I heard the waitress say "muscled Penny" HAHAHA!

???
Jiaying says she looks like a horse. xDD Right. PRETTY HORSE, howz that!
omg =X

Oh yeah andrea and I waited for a good 45mins that night for bus 133. What on earth is wrong with that service...45 mins!! Record time.
We ended up taking the train home T_T
Poor us~
Anyway at least i brought home good stuff ^^
Saw these 3 for $10 posters at suntec exhibition hall.

I bought Deathnote, Grimmjow from Bleach and an unknown-but-cool-looking guy from dunno wad anime xD
My mom saw the Grimmjow poster and lost her appetite MWAHAHA

I checked my clocking-in-timesheet today, and realised i've been working here for a week ^^
It felt longer than a week, though.
Maybe cuz all i've been doing all day is mundane work...and well, i shouldn't say the office environment is very welcoming and all...
The people are friendly, no doubt. But like i said there are lots of cliques (adults these days...) and i'm basically alone on my own.
What i don't like about the office environment is that, it's very "office". xD

Restrictive, corporate, QUIET.
There's hardly any form of "happy life", probably except Nora's weird pillows and the pic of "Wuzun" on Azlina's table ahaha~!! o_O
I just realised my office has alot of malays, lol.
Oh man i think i'm the noisiest rat that ever entered~
You seriously CAN'T make a single noise, even i need to take tissue paper silently... People talk in whispers and all you hear for 8hrs a day is the constant typing of the keyboard.
OMG what a life~! @_@
I'm really counting my days to freedom...=(
I dunno, andrea keeps telling me to focus on the money. haa... At least i'm paid fairly well, but haix~

Oh yeah i hate my keyboard and mouse.
They're so damn noisy i feel like ripping out the wires~!!! Grrrrr.
Need. A. New. Keyboard. Definitely.

Ok maybe there are the good things as well. =]
At least i've a clean toilet to look forward to going heh...Toilet has now become my favourite hang out place. Alone... Shit until cannot shit still sit there...
Hmm.. And also at least there are quite a number of good eating places around. From my workplace i can easily walk to Raffles City, or the stretch of shops along Peninsula Plaza (there's a Long John Silver's there and Old Chang Kee), or a coffee shop if i walk in the direction of the NTUC Income building... OR, i could walk to Dhoby Ghaut and ta-bao from Plaza Sing ^^
Note that i've only one hour lunch, so it's always a rush =(
Need to think of lunch plan, man.
While going home today i walked to Dhoby Ghaut to see how far it is... Thankfully i counted, it's only 10mins walk!
So for the next lunch i can walk 10mins to Dhoby Ghaut, another 5mins to Plaza Sing...(that's 15min gone) then walk straight to my planned eating place for 5mins and QUEUE... all that is probably 30mins gone. Then, I either eat at top speed there or ta-bao, which is a more prefered choice since i'll be back in office by 1.30pm, doesn't matter whether i'm still eating as long as they see i'm there.
YUP, that's the plan! *phew*

Sob.
Anyway... recently Sam has been telling me alot of bad news about her school =X
It seems Nursing is a pretty tough career...I mean, she kept flunking her exams AND sub papers, and now she sat for this erm, "Skills Test" thing and FAILED again! x_X
omg... she's already in Year 3 by now and she's thinking of quitting Nursing altogether and do something else. I dunno, i feel seriously 'wasted' for her.
She just doesn't know why she always fails when her friends are passing.
And i know that some of her lecturers are so evil, they purposely fail students when they miss just one step of the procedure...
Well of course, if a real patient is dying you can't miss a step but this...they're just students in NYP! =S
anyway somehow i also get the feeling that Sam's friends aren't exactly sincere to her. She doesn't hang out with them or study with them... Worse thing is when she fails, she tells me she doesn't know how to tell them o_O
It's like they'll laugh at her or something? Oh boy.
I do wonder if she has friends at all, y'know. Everytime i talk about one of my crazy expeditions with jiaying *lol* (oh yeah Jiaying knows her too) she'll sound like she really wants to be involved... I dunno, Sam's always asking about me & jiaying cuz she knows we're like, best friends. Wonder if she's jealous =X

lol i talk too much. Think i haven't ranted in a long time, heh~
So sorry my recent entries are always photo-less. Look at my work environment now~!
Can bore you to death and i think i'm near the brink of it...already.

I'd wanted to blog at work but... it's not very nice to do so eh X)
Got so many things to say~
And i forgot half of them by the time i reach home. hahaa...turning into a goldfish.

I guess work has been alright, although it's not my cup of tea (I mean hey, librarian~!!) lol.
I felt the office is a little disjointed, the different departments keep to themselves...like today was Azlin's birthday and they held a mini "celebration" for her =P But then, while we were singing happy birthday & stuff, the rest of the office not involved just went about doing their own work as though nothing happened! omg.
I dunno, feels a bit...dead. Like no one cares, y'know. Hmm.

I'm not sure about the Technical Services department, although i eat lunch with those 2 'younger ones' (lol I'm the youngest by far) and most of them are quite friendly, i still feel detached.
They're very "business people-like" and have their own cliques and stuff.
Technical Services is more cliquish, i guess.
And i belong to no clique. I'm on my own ^^
In a way, i'm squashed between the Technical Services dept. and the Circulation dept.
I'm not that close to the people in Circulation, i only know TWO PEOPLE holy crap. My African boss and this other girl called Nora =P
That's about it.

Of course, there're other "stray" people who don't belong anywhere like Devi the HR manager...(she's really funny, i like her) and probably Ruth, the old ang moh lady whom i've no idea what she's doing xD
I haven't talked much to Ruth, though. She looks like the frail old nice lady who serves the kids tea & bread...o_O hahah.

anyway just an interesting thought, i've been observing my work environments both here and at my stupid SIP company *lmao*...as well as other companies i've been poking myself into =P
Jiaying and I have talked about starting up our own company ahahahahahahaaa... *dreams*
Well whatever it is, i listed down some pointers (for fun laughter peace and joy!) that i thought companies shouldn't lack! Well, at least for our company...lala~

- Shoes should be taken off at the doorstep...and employees should change into FLUFFY SLIPPERS to walk around~!! 8D
- Talking, laughing, screaming is definitely allowed. Why, when a download completes or an art piece is finally finished, give a cry of joy! No one should stare at you.
- All employees deserve the chance to use GOOD computers, GOOD keyboards and GOOD mouses. *ahem!* It doesn't mean temp staff or interns get the lousy comps because i believe all humans work efficiently with better stuff. All the companies that i've been to have totally treated "low-status" people with lousy material.
- All desks should be decorated! No desk should be left empty and 'corporate' looking T_T
- No politics allowed, eheh. Sure, every company has "politics" and it's usually, i realise, regarding screwed up bosses. I wanna be different. Bosses are to do the same work and not hide themselves in an exclusive room only shaking hands with big shots and shit. That is the most terrible thing to do, to ignore your employees and treat them like slaves working for you. My SIP company is a terrific example of this.

haha...random random~
I'm so bored at work i'm listing down these stupid things xD Oh wells i'm glad penny's emailing me often in the afternoon and keeping me alive *hugs* Yay she's back from HK!!
And oh, TOYAKU is gonna meet this children's storybook author Suchen Christine Lim tomorrow! ^^ And then we're...going shopping after that mwahaha...
And then dinner at SAKURASUKI~!!
Hoho, i can't wait for tomorrow. Yay i'm amusing myself with little random things.
Guess i'll be doing that for at least 3 months now before i fly off to UK!
I'm in need of serious entertainment...........*starts crawling*
Esp since i can't play my PSP or go MSN or blog or do anything at work!

p.s. By the way. The word of the day definitely goes to Glycerophospholipids! xDD
hahahahahahahahahaha.
WTH, i've been staring at these kinda words all day as i sort the books. This library totally has no design books whatsoever, because there's no design course here obviously. A search on the library's database for "illustration" gives me "Illustrative corporate financial statements" and "illustrious gaudissart electronic resource" o_O
Search for "art" and you get "Art & Science of interpreting market research"!!
Search for "design" and you get "Design and maintenance of accounting manuals" *WTFFFFF*

Most of these insane photos will remain in the "omg-I-looked-so-gross-10-years-ago" folder. Don't we always look gross 10 years ago~ *lmao*

I guess it's a rather exciting night ba...Moses mentioned those specially selected to UWE! woo!
I foresee our stupid faces appearing next graduation...@.@ haha.
Look out, all ye juniors! We'll be back to haunt ya~!!
I'm shutting up now. Lookie these pictures!

Graduationnnn...!!!

After all that walking and tripping on stage, we exploded out of the Convention Centre and guess what. I found my parents already EATING! T_T
But well, thankfully they saved food for me cuz by the time the graduands came out, 90% of the food gone. What on earth, singaporean parents ah...

Mummy!!

During the ceremony Ronald, Julian and Alfie gave us standing ovations. Awww ^^
Alan Rudge is nowhere to be seen~!! Grr...

Ah, typing on this keyboard feels so gooooood *strokes keyboard* =DD
Haha the keyboard and the mouse at my desk at work sucks! omg, why does every comp i go to for work suck... I realised it's like that in singapore companies, government or not. All interns, temp staff, student helpers...we're dumped onto the lousiest of computers.
Usually, computers are Windows98 or lower, and the keyboard & mouse very noisy.
Yea, that's how you identify~
Lalala but who's complaining~I kinda like my job laaaaaaahs.

Mornings are always very relaxed and the people in the Technical Services dept (that's where i'm attached to in the morning) are really friendly.
My lunch buddies are now officially Azlin and Noelle! hoho.
Somehow...i just can't go lunch with erm, my african boss? lol~!! Yesh african boss WOO!

He's one of the funniest guys around... Always laughing and smiling.
He saw me sneaking up to him today so show him my design and went "eheheheheh."
@_@
Anyway. I like my job cuz it's rather brainless. I mean, most of the stuff that i've been doing, I seriously don't need a diploma or degree or anything to be able to do it! lol.
Well government institutes always do look at your paper qualification huh.
This morning I was helping this old friendly Malay lady called Hamidah update the delivery list...I did that in friggin 10 minutes xD
Then she gave me a WHOLE LIST of books to search for using the online catalog haa...
I guess that's gonna last me a whole week, finding the URLs for each and every book. At least it's not strenuous cuz I get to sit at my desk ^^
Only snag is all the book titles are stuck in my head!
Microbial siderophores, nutrient cycling, proteome research, immunotherapy trends for targetting inflammatory disease...o_O

Anyway in the afternoon things got slightly more interesting, I had my first task of designing *woo!* the signage to be put up at the entrance shelf~!! YAY!
I looked through all the previous templates for signages that are done, omg. All so corporate and boring xD But well I know i can't be too fanciful either, designers doesn't mean must design until so extravagant. heh. Anyway my first design, and it was approved this way...
I showed Nora (my supervisor for Circulation dept in the afternoon) my design and she said "Ooh not bad, see what Rajen says!"
[Rajen is the...african. lol]
So i sneaked up to Rajen (cuz i thought he was busy) and you know what happened.
Rajen: Eheheheheh.
Me: Erm, you wanted me to do a signage for the OOC services...
Rajen: Ah lemme see!
Me: *shows*
Rajen: Hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm. Ok you decide!
Me: !?!?!
Rajen: Ahhaha.. It's very well done! You decide which font to use =))))

Yes, with all the smiles. =))))
So...I became the designer PLUS critique for myself lol.
Anyway i'm happy that it's finally printed in colour and up there on the shelf for all to seeeeee~

Ok so much for work and stuff.
Now i'm going on to MSN...for the first time in history o_O;;
omg forgot how to use msn.

I don't know if i want to blog, i'm sooooper tired and half dead so if I sound incoherent, you know why! ahah...aheh....bloop.
Erm. Where was i?
Oh yeah. I started work today...! x.X
haha...yeshuu, my first day at work at that library job. Yea I secured that job thanks to my mummy. No more working at O'House for me now!
In fact I didn't even work there. The schedule is so wacked and the pay is worse so...xD

But of course, working at this library job isn't as easy as you may think!
I finally am experiencing what a librarian goes through, eheh...and it's damn retarded~!!
Ok well... I am split into two departments so i won't bore to death and start spazzing on the floor. The first department which i report to in the morning, is the Technical Services department. Hmm...i don't even know if i got the name right o_O
Didn't know library has so many cheem terminology omg~
Ok so in Technical Services what I did was...find books. Yea.
Took me a while to learn how books are categorised in this library. So I was searching for a whole list of books and picking them out, then transfering them from "Course Reserve" to the "Lending" section. Ah~
After that I had to scan in all of those books I hunted for, then comes to horrible part - peeling off tags!! =X
Yesh, the stupid orange dot at the corner of the books must be peeled off cuz the books were now moved to Lending. Omg... At least my supervisor for the day was this friendly malay girl called Azlin (i had lunch with her) =]
There's another dude at the counter who saved my poor soul by helping me peel those STUPID things. Bah, why must they stick until so tight and so...troublesome!
anyway erm "another dude"s name is Dominic.

For lunch...omg WTH I had poisoned fried rice o_O;;
I could swear it was poisoned!! argh, at around 4pm i had this incredibly painful stomach and I just sat on the toiletbowl and shitted my whole stomach out.
T_T
Daaaaamn painful *sob*
thankfully after lunch I was with the Circulation department so my job today was hunting for "missing" books~ I was alone for the rest of the afternoon so i went around the library at my own pace.
Oh man. At least...bask in the knowledge that I'm still being paid even while shitting ^^ *lmao*

Went home today to warm soup. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
=DDDD
Dinner never tasted better, i dunno why.
The lights seemed nicer, the walls were so welcoming, my dog felt softer.....o_O
I think i'm outta my mind.
6.20am wake up tomorrow, yet again. Woohoo

Heeee. Dunno why i'm so excited.
I'm just sitting here burning DVDs and waiting for miss ong jia-ying to reply my smses xD
Maybe it's the excitement of having cell at my new house tomorrow~!
Maybe it's the excitement of Samy coming to stay the night at my place tomorrow woo!
Maybe...it's my cousin Steph's 21st birthday celebration at some grand hotel (which my father apparently forgot the name of) on Sunday evening~!!! 8D

I just msged Rika a while ago about cosplay xD
We're going for CosFest 2008 on 7th July, baby! Can't wait to tell JY this. Rika's doing Gintama again, as with every year~~that boring woman hahaa...
Jiaying and I are thinking of doing AKATSUKI! LMAO we're even worse.

Moving on...xD
I'm stuck at Valkyrie Profile. nyahaha i'm always stuck at every game i play eh? Well that's the thrill of it~
Anyway for the nerds (a.k.a those who know what im talking about), I'm stuck at Chapter One *bwahahaha!* trying to get that stupid green chest at this very unreachable cliff...
It's the 2nd last chest to get before i get the last one and fight the boss battle...I know some boss battle is coming, heh. Well. I've no clue how to get to that chest, i figure it's something to do with shooting my crystals in a certain way to form footholds so i can....get to it...x_X
Well y'know, i tried climbing all the way up to the roof and catapulting myself. HEY IT WAS A SUCCESS! I finally made it to that platform, only to have the stupid chest explode in my face and knock me all the way down T___T
Booooooooooo.

Normal people would think it's insane that i'm blogging at 4am xD
haa, all my friends are still up anyway. And i just heard my bro going toilet~

Ahh, I'm still very much undecided what to do now. What have I been doing all day anyway? Gaming xD Aaaaand...sleeping eating shitting.
Still unmotivated to draw...Was planning to start on my already rotting trinity blood fan art (lmao!!) but then i realised the file is downstairs in the ExBoot. Argh~
I'm still awaiting reply from "O'House"...seems like they need people to work on Saturdays and Sundays and those are the days we all can't. Nyahaa.
Anyway did i tell ya, Andrea's gonna quit in 2 weeks' time xD
Mostly cuz of the pay, well...she doesn't wanna be wasting her time on such little amounts~
I guess for me I'm waiting for that librarian job at SMU. Hope it goes through!!! =X

Well well, I just talked to my mom about overseas education loans and how the hell this whole thing works. Gawd, now i see even more how evil the government can be huh..
This whole "interest" thing, it's out to cheat unsuspecting students like me to fort out a huge sum of money T_T
Goodness knows why the interest rate is so high. Anyhoo, I discussed with my parents and decided the best solution now is that they will loan me. lol! ^^
Perrrrrfect.
Interest free, wahoo! I think it's better this way. Paying back my parents instead of some freak old government institute where they don't care if you're dead or alive as long as the money returns fast.
That's how it is, isn't it? If you can't pay back your loan within one year, interest doubles for the next. Phhfft.
Now i see why people go to loansharks? xD And then get their names written all over HDB lifts/toilets and thus adding another "Uniquely Singapore" trade to our already horrible list. haa~

Ok so i'm somewhat happy now, that i'm loaning from my parents and that they're still in support of my UK study! ^^ *hoorah!!*
I really wanna go, there's no stopping meh~!!! >D
hoho. I know Jiaying's definitely going as well.
I dunno, i presume it's the excitement of everything, especially since it's all our first time studying overseas. In a foreign land where we'll most probably get lost and start eating grass to save our lives~
Omg i just remembered i needa make a list of things to buy etc to prepare for survival!
I need...new underwear =D
hahah

Penny's making a list of things we needa do as "duty" =P
I guess we needa split jobs like washing dishes, cooking, taking out trash, washing clothes (in washing machine), sweeping/mopping the floor (depending if they have broom or mop, i'm not gonna carry one whole mop to UK like some desperate cleaner), washing toilet??
Ahaha i dunno how to wash toilet! I mean, just spray everywhere and let it evaporate?
Lol~!!! I suck.
Either way it's gonna be a new exciting life and i'm looking forward to it!
No maid to cook for me, no parents to go NTUC shopping for me...=)
oh yeah i was going NTUC shopping with jiaying last last week, lol we were so damn clumsy yo~!
Cannot find the stupid green basket, so walked around the whole ntuc like we were looking for treasure....then when we finally found a whole stack of it outside (T_T), jiaying grabbed the first one and didn't know there's one more basket hanging on below...
So CRASH!!! was the next thing i heard and i erm...ducked behind the chilli sauce section xD
All the aunties turned and stared at JY nyahaha~!!
I wonder if there are trolleys in UK...*hmmm*

Ohoho. Dammit i'm getting excited! =DD
Imagine going ntuc shopping every weekend, planning what we can cook at our own time own target, NOT making our beds in the morning and not get scolded, and and and...going to school in the snowwww...Wahahahahha!! *insane*
I wanna see snow! All my life it's just been the ice cubes in the refrigerator T_T
Snow snow snow! omg i always had in mind snow was heavy and when it comes down on your head it'll knock you out o_O
Hahaha. I think cuz the ice in my fridge is so hard, and so that stupid mindset.
I even thought the first snowflake that comes down will be like bird shit dropping down *splat!*
Oh, my sad childhood~~

Aaaaaaanyway. I still can't sleep, my mind's all bonked. (haha what does bonked mean anyway)
I just downloaded Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and CastleVania X Chronicles.
Castlevania's damn weird, i can't seem to be progressing! I need a game guide @.@
Ah, can't wait for camp in june...*waits waits waits*
haha my thoughts come so randomly...

Waah feels like i haven't written anything here for a century =P
Life hasn't been hectic, it has been worrying.
Heh. I know i'm grateful for the long break now, what with waking up at 12noon and playing games on the toiletbowl xD lol!
Alot of work settled down after our submission of application for the MDA scholarship, and so it's more like slow-paced for me now.

Currently i'm looking for jobs stupidly =D
That weird "77" company (shan't say the name, but it's so obvious lol) didn't accept me because they looked down on me right from dip show itself, but in the end jiaying and andrea didn't even get the job cuz they friggin want people to stay long-term and didn't like it if we'd to leave for UK. heh~
Anyway that's over.
To start a new chapter, we went for interview at a sales company this time, ha.
I call it the "O' House"...it's getting very annoying that i can't name companies cuz you never know who's looking at your blog and who's signing death threats for you unknowingly. Phfft. So bear with my wacked namings xD

Well well, andrea got herself a job right away on interview date itself! haha!
the retardedness...
Only cuz she prefered Office work instead of sales and they happened to be needing office people more. So she got the job on the spot.
jiaying and i are still waiting...hmm.
I dunno, there are so many pros and cons~
I've this job at "O' house" where the environment is interesting, but the pay kinda sucks a little. I dont know about the working hours yet, apparently it's based on how many hours you work so that one can be requested.
However, there's another rather lucrative offer at my mom's company SMU ^^
But the job is more boring, of course. It's to work as a librarian haha...
But then, the pay is WONDERFUL ($10 per hour, if u wanna know) and the working hours are fine. Plus, my mom can drive me to and fro. no need to pay for transport.
Wellllllllllllllll.

I'm weighing these two options. *sigh*
The librarian thing is not confirmed, the only drawback. And if it's confirmed it'll only be for ONE person.
I duuuno...
Anyways i'm kinda uninspired to draw nowadays~
So many incomplete stuff lying in my sketchbook screaming at me all day, hee...

At least gaming is keeping me sane. For now.
I completed Crisis Core sometime ago :P
(Hahaa...turns out I didn't actually have to defeat Howling Fang, he's just a side boss but at least now that i have, i know what's in that chamber behind him. Lol!)
Darn, i should've bought the game instead of downloading - it's so worth it.
And downloaded games suck especially when it's 1GB+
Sure hang, man. Crisis Core hung 6 times already and i had to defeat the final boss (the Genesis Monster and Genesis himself) TWICE. I'm pro at killing now~

In anyways I bought an original game - Sims2 Castaway! xD
Felt its more worth buying then playing the downloaded game cuz like i said, the game file is HUGE and always hang T_T
I'm thinking of getting Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth! But argh, wait til i get my pay...hoho~

Woo~ At last, a photoless entry xD
haha. Well wells, I was just thinking about "life after FYP"...i remember alan rudge telling us he practically sat around and stoned wondering what to do after his FYP.
BUT WELL. I didn't actually stone as much as him, lol.
In fact, it has been really eventful, i got my whole life back =))
What with having movie marathons, family gathering, outings with my girlfriends, a million shopping escapades with jiaying...xD

Just last Tuesday I was out with Ria, Ave, Sam and Swing again. Been centuries since we last hang out aimlessly ^^
We watched this movie called The Bucket List =)
It's not like a terrific terrific blockbuster that everyone's talking about, but we had movie vouchers ahahahaha~!!
Ok no that's not the point.
The Bucket List is really very sweet in its own way... 2 guys meet in hospital, exchange "Who the hell are you" greetings, receive news that they each had 6 months to live and decide to write a Bucket List of all the things they wanna do before they well, kick the bucket!
Simple sweet story... I really loved the "Help a complete stranger find happiness" and "Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world"...
Those things started out as completely insane, but in the end those two pointers in their list were the most impactful =]

Anyways met jiaying at night in town to wonder about aimlessly again~xD
And yesss, eat at Fish n Co.!!
haha, I prefer Manhatten Fish Market, though. But the mussels at Fish n Co. rawk!

Wells, had family gathering on Thursday... Just my mom's side relatives this time.
Darn, Hazel's somewhere lost in India and Rachel had tuition!! @.@
At least WenQi came...saved me from having to entertain kids. Heh.

TODAY, went to school to collect the stoooooooooopid graduation gown T_T
Andrea almost wanted to cancel her registration for graduation ceremony!
Geez, I really wanted to as well... I dunno, those who didn't go for grad ceremony just missed out the...thrill of it? LMAO.
Well we had to waste $25.50 on the gown.
Think the price went up since last year...and WTF, NYP's graduation gown is the same price, they lied!! Said the gowns rented to TP are the cheapest ever. Liar liar liar!
Either that or Temasek Poly hired the wrong batch of gown-making peeps.
Aaaaaanyways.

I just came back from BBQ at SingaporePoly =P
hahaa...Ria and Sam pestered me to go. And since Isabelle went too, i figured at least there're people i can hang out with ^^
heh, met Desmond again and he's always laughing at me...I seem to always bump into him =P
Oh yeah, Isabelle, Ria and I signed up for drum lessons HAHA!
I think we're insane..
It's only 2 Fridays next month but what the heck~
We get to keep free drumsticks!! NOT those made out of chicken. lol.

So. A very eventful week indeed ^^
I foresee lots more stuff coming up ahead to keep me busy, and my mind away from nasty stuff like worrying about MDA scholarship T_T
Isabelle told me the final number of applicants is 116. Nice.
I'll go tell jiaying and andrea and penny now, we've got competition~!
Anyways i can't wait for camp in June! Finally a time where i can break away from the busyness of Singapore and chill... I'll be blogging about camp when i get back! For now, it's still a good month away.
Somewhere deep inside me I can't wait to go UK too...haix.

Gonna miss yoooou...one entire month there. Hope you had a safe flight! Your MDA package is safe with me...I shalt deliver thy package safely, my queen *bows*
=DD

Phew, had some time to blog abit after sorting out my own MDA package...
Jiaying, Andrea and I are gonna head down to Bugis tomorrow to print our portfolios. lol.
Apparently they want some kinda write-up alongside our works...so mah fan T_T
Hopefully all our hard work will pay off...eek.
And a huge thanks to Isabelle for helping me find out about the scholarship applications! =P
heh, the world is so small, never thought i'd have a friend working right where we're sending applications to. Well at least she can tell us whether or not we get through...*bites nails*

Anyway i'd a tiring Saturday night.
Tired from heaps of laughter of course xD Heehee...
My cell's in charge of organising this year's Settler's Cafe event. We're gonna make it a blast, man!! =D
omg, I really wanted to invite TOYAKU cuz settler's has free flow board games and foooood!! B-but...Penny's in Hong Kong!! The event is on 23rd May. oh shit...WAIT.
Is that my graduation day?! o_O
ohhhhhh shit on a stick!! *as my german boss always says*
Aiya nevermind, at least I enjoyed the incredibly insane photoshoot on sat! ^^

Michelle is in charge of the whole organising committee, so she came up with the story...but first!! THESE.

*ahem* Sgt Josia needed to leave early, and thus decided to take a brainless shot of his awesomeness.

RESPECT.

Now on to story proper...here goes~!!

One day. A group of girls were bored...

They stared at fishes.

SUDDENLY!!

Suddenly!

Suddenly!!

*GASP!*

They saw a bunch of guys playing board games!

The girls tried to steal the games!

!!!!!!!

But they failed. And they were sad.

So they decided to open a huge bag of chips!

Hmmmmmmmmm!!

OMG FOOD~!!

Nooooooo way!

GET THE FOOD!!

Ohhh myyy goooodness...lovely lovely~

Reeeeeaaaach out...!

OMG! ONE CHIP LEFT!

Whaaaaaat?!

Noooooooooo!!

Aaaaaaaaacccckk!!

They were filled with sadness.

They were filled with grief...

They went back to playing their board game...

There's one solution though! ^^

Join us, at Settler's Cafe!
Where everyone can play board games AND eat free flow of food! =DDD

~THE END!~

----------------------------
hahahahaha omggg...wasn't that insane xD
Stupid storyline but we had so much fun taking photos.
Ian, you made us laugh like siao!

yay busy busy week ahead~
I'm booked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday.
Which leaves Thursday and Saturday free but most prob I'll have stuff on sat now.

Ooh I'm supposed to be editing my portfolio stuff now but gaah! Too tired... i've been doing this MDA thing for the whole day!
ok not really the whole day. Jiaying and I rented DVDs~!! 8D
hahahahahahahahahaha

Woo, the DVD rental shop at my house right here is soooo good. Has almost everything and anything! Including tons of Disney shows that we miss so much...
Well we rented 5 DVDs for $20, the reason why you only see 4 here is cuz jiaying snatched the 5th one to "watch again and again and again" lol!!
No surprises, though.
It was Sleeping Beauty xD

Yeaah, we wanted to watch this CJ7 thingy to see what the hell izzit exactly.
After hearing tons of mixed reviews about it =X
Some people say nice, some say touching, some say it's hilarious, some say lame...heh.
Well well, watched Sleeping Beauty at my house today *cheesy grin*
lol the little stupid girls inside of us exploded out at once~!! It was like relieving childhood, hee. We both think Prince Philip is the hottest prince in all disney movies~! xD
And Manificent is the baddest bad guy/woman. I think she's the best character design of a villian =)
omggg...i think after going through this animation course I'm starting to see things that I never saw before when i was a kid...
I noticed the Sleeping Beauty backgrounds were all hand-painted and I am marvelled at how they managed to animate between the backgrounds...o_O

Anyways i'm reminded of a Sleeping Beauty musical i watched when I was less than a metre tall.
I can't even remember what went on there, all i remember was after the show all the cast/characters were outside there shaking hands with kids and taking photos...
And Manificent (the witch) was standing there alone. SO POOR THING!!
My mom urged me to go shake her hand and at first i didn't dare, cuz she really looked fierce and overwhelming and...sharp xD
But I did go shake her hand in the end.
That was all I remembered.
The End.

Movie marathon next week! Interested parties...go away! xDD
Ahaha my brains are starting to melt into that of a kid's...o.O
No.

And besides today's my birthdaaaaaaaaaaaay ^^ hoho~
Firstly thankies to ALL who sms-ed me, wished me, pounced on me, strangled me...
Yesh yesh, yours truly is an old hag now and will cease to defend myself like in the old days~~
... btw Andrea's defense skills are really good! hahaha!
Need to take lessons from herrrrr. xD

Had yet another birthday surprise erm, yesterday! *memory failing*
This time, with my dearies from SCHOOL!! ehehe...
Yay for the first time we took so many photos together =))
Thanks to Penny and her siaoness, we're becoming more siao. LOL!
Love it.
Ok well I was late again for my 2nd birthday surprise. We were to meet in school to see Yvonne about scholarship etc., and Penny and Jiaying hid themselves in some dismal little room at some corner of the school xD
Thankfully Andrea decided to come late too *heh* if not i'll be standing at the door screaming & screaming..
WELL. To cut the weird story short, I walked into the room and wanted to open my mouth (for unknown reasons) but a huge spray of pink GOO smacked me in the face!!! xD
At least i walked a few steps in without banging into anything, while Andrea unexpectantly kena sprayed as well and was stuck at the door for goodness knows how long. hahaa...
When i came to my senses i realised it's actually Penny spraying me with Party Strings!!
heehee.
We made a whole mess of the place! nyahaaa... If there's a CCTV in that room we'll be in jail now~
Lookie.

Jiaying's poor rabbit got sprayed on too. Awww hahaha.
Well anyway that room is so rotten liao, all the chairs had shoe marks engraved on them permanently and there was a weird burn on the carpet near the projector o_O

After the crazy spraying came the cakey!!! ^^ *YAY*
Thankewwwwwww~

Even he enjoyed it =P

Then came the endless photo-taking!! haha...omg like some wedding function, first the strimmers then cut cake then take photo. LOL!
Ne...dun mind posting up piccus, do you? *looks at everyone*
I selected only the best...the most...presentable of our photos heehee!

Haha, we agreed jiaying looks happier than me. It MUST be the balloons xDD

Penny made our piccu into a NEOPRINT!! haha!
You go, girl! No need to spend $8 (damn GST) on small little neoprints when we can get this for free! hehh...*cheapo smile* 8D

Coming up next is Andrea's birthday! ohoho...
We're gonna bash her up, aren't we? aren't we? xD
heehee *evil plans*

Thank you girlssss ^^

And thank you for the smiley bobbing head blue man you gave me earlier on too!
(this goes for yewei too)

Ah btw...my Ah ma freaked me out while I was downstairs scanning in a ton of stuff for MDA! xD I was so concentrated on my scanning when suddenly there was this weird sounding "Happy Birst days to yooo! Happy birst days too yooo!" from behind and my grandma appeared (I screamed, really). lol! She gave me an Ang Bao (red packet), haha... My grandmas and all the other old people used to give useless stuff like clothes (which they THINK and HOPE their grandchildren will wear but sadly the fashion back then.....) but now they've finally understood that giving us money instead is better than buying something we won't wear. haa...
Old people are getting smart eh? X)

Lastly... And very RAnd0mLy...
Another song has gotten stuck in my head hahaaa... No more Chris Brown xD
This time it's One Republic! Jiaying loves their last single "Apologise"...I kinda like it too but, Timbaland, well....T_T
Anyway...their latest single "Stop And Stare" is just damn good.
One Republic is not like my favourite band, but i like that their songs have meaning. Hard to find in the midst of thrashy worhtless tunes these days.

At first when I saw their video i was like, OKAY...
But then i realised there's more to it. The guy in the car with the pregnant wife, is the same guy who got knocked down, and the same guy standing in the crowd staring.
I didn't notice that, really.
And now it makes more sense than a OMG-I-killed-this-dude-and-here-I-am-standing-at-his-grave video.
Just another thought, that grave is empty in the end like a memory forgotten. =)

2008-04-21T01:05:00.000+08:00

April 21...1.05am...and I just got home! xD
ok not really, i got home around 12 midnight, hoho~
So yea, you guessed, i just bathed and my hair is wet now so i can't sleep... Decided to check email and blog a bit about today~ =D

I AM DAMN TIRED.
But very very very very happie! It's been a suuuuuper long time since the 5 of us (Ria, Ave, Shuying, Sam and me) got together for an entire day, what with my stupid FYP last year that totally (and i mean it) killed me off from the rest of the world...
They say animation is hard work, well it IS...and i've had a taste of it but of course even though i realise my passion isn't in animation at all mainly because of the competition all around the world (i'll never survive being an animator), it's helped me see for myself for REAL how it's like.
Anyways I was late today for meeting my girlfriends and omg it's times like these i wish i could fly...
I believe I can fly~~ *wacks bugs bunny*
Hmm well, we met at Clarke Quay and what a brilliant SURPRISE I got!!!!
hahah...Sam dragged me all the way to some pillar and out popped Ave and Ria - and they sang Happy Birthday to meeeee in the loudest possible voice xD
LOL some Ah Bengs nearby heard the commotion and clapped and cheered.
Shitttttttttt...!!! x.X

haha well we embarrass each other every year especially on birthdays and I kinda knew this was coming xD
yayness. Ave said she forgot to bring my present so she bought me a little cakey for now... ^^

Strawberry Cheesecake wooo~

Everyone was in such high spirits, Ria almost walked down an "up" escalator....xD
Well we were off to celebrate two birthdays - mine and Shuying!
Shuying's like, a week older than me so we always have our birthday bashes together nyahaha~
We ate at Manhatten Fish Market again. Well...not really again, it's been quite some while when i last ate there but omg i dunno what i'm saying.
erm...where was I?
Oh yeah, birthday lunch was at MFM =))

We all shared this huge "Giant Seafood Platter" for $38.90...
There's this particular fried mushroom which is not that fried...and inside the mushroom is this really gross liquid thing o_O...so we threw it all to Shuying HAHA!!
well she liked it..............

I shall bombard you with the first of a series of photos...xD

Riaaaaaaaaaaa

Shuying trying to look "intelligent" xD omg hahaha
Ave said she always looks sedated, like on drugs, so the result = this pic

Shuying receiving her birthday card from all of us ^^

Along with our bills came...MENTOS! look how many we gobbled up mwahaha.

Tissue paper shred!!!! xDD *random insanity*

Next stop: Kopitiam for dessert

yupp, we just wanted somewhere to chill, basically~
To kill some time, cuz Ave had to go off for her dance performance WHICH WAS SO AWESOME I'LL TELL YOU LATER OK so we bummed around at Kopitiam, of all places xD
Ria ordered Ice Kachang from a very horrible auntie...=X
She (the auntie) was so pissed off for goodness knows what reason, and kept yelling at poor Ria...she threw in the Atapchees so fiercely somemore @_@
Damn violent. Dunno why. Too much sugar from eating remaining unsold desserts maybe?

well well. we just sat there for a good 2hrs talking and talking...
Ave fell asleep on the chair lol.
But it was really relaxing, i've never been more relaxed for a long time now!
Hmm oh yeah, Sam went totally high for no reason and started playing with her CJ7 toy...*lmao* Retardedness~ I think 99% of CJ7 toys have some kinda...deformity xD

Well...he's still kinda cute right?

Cute right??

CUTE RIGHT?!??!?!?!

xDDDDD

Next stop: Ria's house to bum even more...

As the sub-title says it. With Ave gone for dance rehearsal for tonight's performance and Shuying had to go home to study, Sam and I decided to spent the rest of the afternoon slacking at Ria's house :P
We steamed our own dinner too, chicken wings + veggie + carrots + rice...and potato salad! ^^
haha preparing me for going overseas eh...gotta cook for myself eeeek.

Next stop: To Raffles LaSelle for Ave's dance performance!

yupp! We left for Bugis at 6.30pm to catch Ave's performance!
OOoh i tell ya, Ave is a super good dancer, man! So proud of you, babe ^^
Well tonight's performance was this musical titled "Beowulf Jam"... I think the music was splendid, and for students this musical is seriously GOOD.
One of the lead actors (the one who acted as the 'king' I think) had a really good powerful voice...like, the kind that can scare kiddies mwahaha
The dancing was well synchronised too, there were only TWO male dancers but they were both as excellent as the girls.
There was this dancer...erm...i think his name is Manuel Antonio Garcia Veloso lol~!
He had soooo much energy, omg. Can literally twist and turn in mid-air without strings or anything. Win.
And oooh i lurrrrve the tattoo on the actor for Beowulf himself, i'm so inspired! =D
Tattoo started from his head and face all the way to his shoulder and chest...damn nice.
Very tribal looking.

That's Ave!! (in the makeup) and us (in the non-makeup haha)

Ave and Yanhui, two terrific dancers and dear friends of ours woo~

The whole cast of Beowulf Jam...although can't see very well cuz the mist in the auditorium place was so thick.

Next stop: More crazy photo-taking at Raffles

yesss...since everyone was still screaming away inside the auditorium, Ria Sam and I decided to go outside for a little breather...and take photos! heh.
That's what we do when we're bored =D

Ok i shan't kill you with any more, you'll be so sick of our faces now you'll cry...! hah.

Btw btw, i MUST tell you this.
On our way to toilet, we passed the illustration gallery. Holy shiiiiiit...I can say LaSelle students beat Temasek Design School students HANDS DOWN, man!!!
there was this girl who single-handedly drew a very complicated painting of 3 horses on this huge wall, and the way she drew the horses was like, no need to sketch out anatomy first etc.
She just...drew straight on!
By the time we saw her the horses have taken shape on the wall, we were gawking at the little painting she already did on a smaller scale A2 board...awesomeness.
I see now why the students are doing so well, they've a vibrant and classy campus...accompanied with HUGE massive space for creativity... They literally paint on walls and stuff instead of struggling to print some A2 piece of work like us...A2 to them is nothing, yo~

Ahh...k. Enough talk. My hair's dried now so time to sleep!
Before that, just blog in more presents i received ^^

Riaa bought me a top from Outfitter Girls! And bangle and huge ear-rings ahaha... I'll TRY to wear them k? I know my friends in school hardly wear these kinda stuff. School's like so different. I wish my friends wouldn't be so conscious about themselves and feel free to take photos (although NOT to the extent of camwhoring heh) and stuff...yea.
Oyasumi fellas~!!

Happy forwarded birthday to meeee...!! ^^
Heehee, hopefully there'll be more 'happy birthday' posts lol..
Celebated my birthday today (even though my birthday is 3 days away) but being typically singaporean with "good time management", my mom would gather everyone to go out for dinner and it's always a weekend because well, singaporeans always busy on weekdays.
Even my Ah Ma...busy watching TV.
She said weekend don't have nice show... and well i saw her watching "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" *lmao*!!

Aaaanyway, this poor birthday girl had to wait for her family at Novena Square cuz her father was busy getting himself stuck in the pond (dunno what he's doing down there everyday)...
So my entire family was late.
I'd to loiter around the mrt but anyways my PSP came in handy ^^
Sat there and played a few rounds of Burnout... =D
I won GOLD in every Road Rage, man!! That's the game for takedowns...woohoo! I think i'm best at Takedowns, ohoho~ Damn violent huh.
(takedowns = smashing your car against rivals to send them flying off the track)
I could score 29 takedowns in one game, haha!
Now you know why I don't drive for real xD

Ok well I had to go search for a place for dinner tonight cuz my family is daaaamn late. Even had to reserve seats for 6 people...haha the waiter stared at me - one small girl sitting at a table for 6. lol.
Hey, shows i'm independant k!!
Anyway birthday dinner was at Ajisen Ramen~
There aren't a lot of restaurants at Novena Square actually. Foe toes...*looks below*

The waiter thought i was so poor thing sitting there alone and gave me a glass of free ice water. lol. The joys of being small~

Family desuuuuu~!

Tah-kou-paaaa-cheeeee...

YAY sugoiiiii...!! I love jap food =D

Ah, I guess i'm a really simple girl. I mean, i know i need a new watch, for example. But at the same time it's not a need. The watch that i have now was bought at Hougang for $22 when i was in Sec One! And wellll...although the strap spoil, buttons all spoil, light spoil, date also spoil...At least the time works, even if it's, well, 5 mins slow xD
Haha my mom freaked out "Whaaat? Your watch "lan" (rotten) until like that still wear ah?"
And wells she then decided on the spot to get me a new watch for my birthday AND graduation gift. ahaaa~
Omg, she dragged me to City Chain, and all the watches in there were so damn ex!! o_O
All I wanted was a simple watch like the $22 one that lasted me so many years...but well, my mom managed to convince my cheapo dad that their daughter is growing up and needs more "sophisticated" accessory etc~~
Lalala. So they made me choose nice watches xD
Look!

Now i have 2 new watches ^^
hahaa...personally i really wouldn't even spend on this but anyway, you know my mom.
She even dragged my brother and asked if he needed a watch, and his answer was "I need watch for what" xDD
He's a minimalist, and i'm somewhat along that line i guess...We've been thinking the same way for years now =P And i'm talking about my 'older' brother, not the other fat one. @.@
Oh yeah my grandma damn funny, when she saw the prizes for the watches these days, she held up her own decolourized watch and said in a voice cracked with age..."You know ah, I bought this watch since before your parents got married...it's only $200 but it lasted for 20 over years...see, still working...and then your Ah Gong ah..."
Before she could finish my mom dragged me inside the shop xD

Hee.
Yay, my birthday prezzies are starting to come in ^^
First the watches from my parents, then a whole bunch of goodies from Ria (lovelove!!)

Yeaah, i hardly even wear rings but since she gave it to me...*wears them for once*

And i hardly put makeup too xD
hahaa...but jiaying wants to try using eye-liner and she's dragging me along. heh, i think i'll poke my eyeball in the process o_O

Oh yeah, saw this cat on my way out. =)) I guess it recognises me by now...

ok that was random. It's been an eventful few days, with shopping sprees and birthday celebrations... Tomorrow another birthday celebration for dear Shuying! (aka Swing) haha...then we'll head down to Ave's dance concert at Raffles Lasalle...
And then spend the night out chillin' with my girlfriends! ^^

Hmm. Another random (reaaally random) thought. This song has been stuck in my head for the past 2 nights. omg.
I never really liked Chris Brown but anyway, I guess this is a rather nice song...somewhat. Although the video kinda funny...I keep giggling at the huge "CONTACT LENSES" sign behind him while he's dancing away in front of that shop.
He couldn't do this in singapore, our citylife extends til the wee hours of the morning and to find some dark dismal corner to shoot this video, he'll be dancing and twirling in front of an old abandoned MAMA shop with rags hanging outside ahaha...
I'm...amused by his shirt. Look carefully.

Yo momma'...

Ooh today's another day of shopping fun ^^
Ok actually we were supposed to go back to our SIP company and collect our testimonials from our boss... but since jiaying and i don't like to go all the way to somewhere just to do something, we headed out to Bugis Street for shopping today! =DD

Anyway sorry Ian, we both arrived so friggin late and u had to fish out our testimonials from your car...*guilty*
Haha well at least we didn't have to step into that building again and have Christine stare at us like we're from outer space... jiaying said she'll puke right at the doorstep x_X
heh heh.
We met Ian (Ang) and Ian (Chua) and Sansan...and 2 other reknown guys at Tiong Bahru Plaza.
Well, no surprise what Ian was eating again - ice-cream!!!
LOL! I've never had a boss who loves ice-cream so much, it's an obsession!
But good obsession lah, ice-cream is good for thee soul~^^
Unlike some dude who's obssessed with mixing cologne + shampoo every morning ARRRRGGHHHHH~!!!!!
AND AND, Ian said we should ask him (the smelly man) for testimonial toooo.
RAAAAAAAAHHHH!!

ahem.
we'll see.
Anyway i realised i've been so busy with researching these days i forgot to post up erm...YEWEI's BIRTHDAY PICS! xD
It's all food anyway. Lol!!
And penny pointed out that we didn't take a photo of yewei the birthday boy.
hahahaa
*clears throat* We shopped around Marina Square before heading for dinner at Spaggedies, hoho. And the lucky birthday boy received...a Gundam poster (Exia) and a Crisis Core poster from the 3 of us girls mwahaha~!!
We knew he loves Exia especially, and jiaying found this supppper wonderful pic of that awesome Gundam =P
And oh, Jiaying and I were shopping around Orchard before that and stole a balloon from someone.. Heehee!! ok well that girl had only one balloon left and we asked if we could have it xD
So yeah, balloon for yewei's present too!
(lmao we're so cheapo, balloon from street also take)

Oh yeah we were insane and ate ice-cream at Anderson's before dinner. ahaaaa~
Anyway this is a couple chocolate fondue, and 5 of us shared it :P
(oh yeah the bananas kept slipping off! lol!)

Spaggedies time! This is the balloon jiaying and i stole at Orchard road...xD
It has now become yewei's best friend for the day.
Look, yewei even gave him (balloon-san) a glass of water! ^^

As usual, jiaying and i are such PIGS but then we're pigs with a similar mind so our food is always shared. (omg am i talking sense)
Anyway that's the seafood platter we shared...

...and the salmon pizza we shared too! ha.

Yewei's salmon dish thing.

Penny's cabonara thing.

Andrea's lasagne thing.

oh must show u this photo...of jiaying and her adventures with eating this weird fried thing with cheese inside xD
Hey the moment before this was grosser k! The cheese was hanging out her mouth!
hahaha! ok erm. well. It would have been the same for me too had it not been in public xD

Shopping spreeeee todaaaaay...

yesh yesh, like i mentioned earlier. We went Bugis today and oh boy, haven't had enough! lol.
So many things to see, and time was passing so fast, woo~
Anyway yeah we bought quite alot of things that made us real happy today.

I bought HIM. at last!

D'aww...i've been wanting to get that little creature for a long time already. And nope, it's not just any chip and dale that i want, it's THIS type. Mainly because the rest are deformed xD
Hmm...i dunno if he's chip or dale, though ^^;
Better check my Hongkong disneyland photo...i know i took a pic with those chipmunks.
Except those chipmunks were twice my size o_O
Hehhh...jiaying's urging me to buy his boyfriend soon.
They're gay aren't they? Chip and Dale...haha

WooOOOooh...bought boots!! Finally found the perfect ones that i love so much!
And fitted me nice and snug ^^
Jiaying bought the exact same boots too, just one size bigger. Haha oh boy I gotta count how many things i have that are same as her xD
Ooh got myself a beanie too, a skull one cuz the rest were all furry and weird colours like pink and beige..."Ah Ma" colours T_T More like, the fur reminds me of those aunties in winter that yell at their kids for splashing in the snow...
Hmm there's a little wrist thing that i bought for $3.90 too~

And a hoodie! Yes, nice nice hoodie for $25! =D
OMG i just realised jiaying bought the same one. AGAIN! hahahaha

yay~! haha behold the blackness xD

oookie dookie. We have a long list of wants but I'll save it for later.
After all, we're in the spirit of saving to get what we want! We're not them kiddies who beg off their parents - no. I never ask my mom for extra money for anything, i guess saving makes you a much better person. =)

Holy WOW! This is my 200th post!! =DD
hahaha.
Anyway I just finished playing BraveStory (yay!) and now my fingers are weird from pressing the buttons xD
Geeeeeeee...the ending for BraveStory suckssssssss.
I thought it was gonna be cool cuz there were so many boss battles towards the end but then the story just ENDED in-your-face.
After i defeated the last boss...my character (supposedly Tatsuya) just went home to "planet earth" and left all his dear friends behind. WTH..!!
Omg...the dinosaur daddy cried!! I felt so saaaad! =(
(Dinosaur daddy = Sogreth, if u wanna know who i'm talking about)
And Leynart (the valiant knight in blue) didn't get to "revive" his wife?! Nooooooo!

Now that i've finished the game i can always go back in and play on endless mode now... I can even roster the people who never joined my team but just met on the journey~
Like Wataru, Meena, Kee Keema, Kutz and Mitsuru.

ANYWAY. on to important stuff. xD
I've been super busy doing lotsa research for the UK trip...
Just received a reply from Mian that all our applications are being processed. Woot!
I hope all goes well...
We had our "Vivo Snack Spree" today, just the 4 of us girls.
And chatted about going to UK, our habits *lol*, stuff we need to pack, questions to be asked etc...
It was fun. Well i've known andrea and jiaying since poly started but even so I felt penny fitted in with us really well =) We're gonna rock the house down!!!
I mean, whichever house we're staying in ahaha~

oh yeah, if i really really do get to UK, i've decided to create a new blog just for ONE year.
yupp!
Cuz i know my parents and stuff will wanna read...my dumb adventures...
And i don't want them peeking at this blog lol. I'm full of profanities heh.
SO, for a year i'll "stop" blogging here and you'll be able to read my stuff over at my new blog! Of course i'll give a link.
Aiya that blog will be darn simple like, stupid default blogskin etc... or else my dad will be confused xD
Well blogging here will resume after i return from UK, haa...
But til then, i'll let you know....

Ooh. Jiaying and i were on the phone til about 3am last night xD *woohoo!*
(cannot beat that time we talked til 5 mwahaha)
The International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol falls on her birthday!!! HAHAHA!
Damn exciting man, all their festivals.
We're both excited about sight-seeing etc and even NTUC shopping is gonna be fun! huhu~
And and, western countries have a different kind of 'siao' people.. Last time jiaying went to London, her dad was taking a photo of her when this happy couple sprang up and said happy things to her dad HEEHEE!
so cute...
So yeah i'm expecting people dancing on the streets and going "hohoho!" loudly in pubs (I heard Irish pubs are the noisiest, lmao)...plus JY said pigeons will land on you like no one's business and we're supposed to be friendly to them birdies...xD

Omg, and i need to start speaking proper engriiiish~
While unearthing my GCE O'level cert for photocopying recently, i found along with it a whole bunch of secondary school stuff...gross secondary school stuff...haha
Amongst them were like, essays...and i realised back then my english was kinda pro!
WTH happened! Now my english like sai.
xDD
I never knew i knew so much vocab last time...grandiloqual vocab. LOL!
Oh wadeva~

*goes off to play Crisis Core*
OH YEAH DID I TELL YOU I'M PLAYING CRISIS CORE NOW!!!
ahem.
I'm making zack look like he escaped from psych ward, omg. I'm still getting used to the battle system, it's uber complicated. But what more to expect from Square Enix! ^^

O' holy nighttttt~~~
Wow I can finally BREATHE easy now. Just sent the rest of my documents to Mian woohoo~
Since Wednesday things can been going so incredibly fast for us!
Especially the 4 of us - jiaying andrea penny and me!

Mian from UWE came to visit Singapore and we went for an "interview-cum-counselling" session with her, on which courses are best suited for us and at the same time she'll decide whether or not we get accepted into UWE! (university of west england desu~!)
Interview was great, one of the best i've ever had. =)
Here's the deal - all 4 of us got accepted into UWE!!!
On the one year degree course Ba (Hons) Graphic Design. W00t!
Ok now i seriously seriously hope that GPA isn't taken into consideration, and what alan rudge says doesn't come true. ahaha! *covers ears*
If everything goes well, we'll be receiving a confirmation email next week and THEN, lo and behold~!
It's UK for us! For at least one year. or 9 months, whichever =P

I think it hasn't started to sink in, lol.
Although i badly wanna go overseas and experience somewhere else rather than this craphole, I can't believe we all got a placing for a year in UK =) *beams with joy*
There're alot more details to be confirmed, and i just sent a whole long list of details to my parents woo~
Feel a whole burden lifted off my chest.
I just hope now that the MDA scholarship will go through for all of us, especially since we're in the media industry and we're SUPPOSED to be having an edge above the rest X]

Anyway. On the bus home today Jiaying, Andrea and I were talking about living in the UK...or overseas, in general.
Haha so many things to discuss!!
From sharing food to sharing toilet to sharing household duties...
We're all gonna learn to cook some dishes from today on! *burns the kitchen down* =DD
Omggg...i only know how to cook instant shit like Campbell soup and instant noodles...and fry an egg...and...boil water T_T
Ok maybe i do know how to cook most western finger food - microwave is my best friend xD
It's the chinese (asian) food that's the most complicated cuz we need to add a thousand things into one dish and HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THE EXPLOSION OF FLAMES WHEN THE MASTER CHEF LIFTS HIS WOK.
I'm pyrophobic @.@
I hope they have electric pans like those in Denmark huhuhu~

It's not just the food, i'm sure we'll have alot of fun doing other stuff as well.
Like cleaning the house? haha I say we shouldn't find that a chore!
Those 2 weeks while i was in Thailand in Dec 2006 with my MOB team, we had to clean the entire MOC house - it was really fun ^^
I remember Sarah and Bobo and I singing at the top of our lungs...and then Daniel joined in HAHA!
He sang 4 words. And we laughed til this day~ xD
Tsura was the best, i couldn't stop laughing at him! The way he swept the floors was so friggin retarded do all Japanese guys sweep this way looooooool
And he uses tissue paper to clean the MOC dog.
omg i burst out laughing just at that thought!
OK so cleaning really isn't that mundane with good friends around =)) And since Jiaying and I laugh at everything I guess it's good we continue this insanity and enjoy what we're doing!

Woof woof, i'm darn tired now after sending so many emails and running around school endlessly today when it's not even my orientation (haha...)
At least alot of stuff is settled and i'm FINALLY done with that 16-page PDF that i sent mian ^^
*phew*
It's time to...watch anime! 8D

p.s. Jiaying says she wants to rear a COW in UK. Everyone who disagrees, breathe.

Whoaaa this is insane! Look at the time!
It's 7am!!! @.@
Hahh...never have i blogged this early. ohoho~
Erm it's not that i didn't sleep all night, i slept rather soundly in fact. Just that i think i went to sleep at around 9pm cuz i'd quite a bad headache.
Oh noes, am i getting sick...! =X

Heh it feels a bit funny to wake up so early. Even the fish in my pond still sleeping.
(Oh yeah, my dad bought fishies...)
And for some insane reason I thought i woke up in another country o_O
lol maybe cuz i've never woken up this early in such a long time...and for no particular reason.
The sky looks weird~

OMG!!! My dad suddenly creeped into my room cuz my door was open aaarrrggghh~!!
I saw this shadowly figure (but wasn't scared cuz the shadow looked weird xD) approaching my door and one silly head popped in. Dammit.
Now i know why I'm not afraid of scary movies - cuz i get them everyday HERE!

Anyway. I'm feelin' damn weird these days too, and strangely Sam Kiew is in the same position as me. It's the kind of "omg-where's-my-future?" feeling...
I'm not depressed, yet not very happy either.
wow it's the first time there is no "feeling" at all, I'm like asking myself what should i feel in this situation. Gaah, i'm turning into Sai?!
the guy with no feelings in Naruto T_T
NO.
Don't worry i'm not behaving like him. I really can't seem to be able to decide what i should feel at this point in time, lol.
Of course, being me, i'm too optimistic for my own good and always appear happy.
Well i am happy, somewhat. Not sure why too, it's just personality i guess?

But then again I'm not sure if i'm really happy.
Actually i've no reason to be, y'know....
Ok. Right now I've lost 60% (possibly?) of my future and i don't know why.
Y'know, everything came crashing down for me since FYP begun. The string of unfortunate events:
1) All of you know what happened during FYP and how shitty my work was treated, so bad til i had to write an email to Alan and Amanda asking what's seriously wrong with my FYP. Well in the end i got an OK grade, B+, but what difference does it make~ My GPA is still below 3 and i'm definite Alan wouldn't allow me (or rather, the school) to go UWE for one year only.
I've to take the full-course if i really want it, and it's outta the question. Vague hope lies for Sheridan College as well cuz it's 4 years and unless i'm totally subsidised with a scholarship, there's no way I can go!

2) You all know too what happened at Dip Show. The feeling of a neglected booth made me sad...

3) Interview at this particular company. I can't say the name cuz you never know who's reading your blog o_O haa...Well yeah another "blow" for me cuz i wasn't accepted. While Jiaying and Andrea obviously were...
I realised that dude kept looking at Jiaying when he talked to supposedly us...sometimes at Andrea too but never glanced my way. Obviously I was too insignificant for him~
Nevermind about that, i kinda knew that I wouldn't be accepted cuz they weren't expecting me. Rather, they were highly anticipating for Jiaying and Andrea to come for interview. Not me.
Yet i stupidly went, for unknown reasons~ lmao.
jiaying's always like "Just try, you'll never know". But seriously, i already know. I don't know how to explain to her because she's so good and skilled, whereas someone in my pathetic position will never ever get a job compared to her. i don't know if she understands being a lousy student cuz she's never been that way before, esp in poly. =P

4) We're all gonna meet with the author for the book we're workin on this thursday, and something tells me because i'm up against jiaying AGAIN (what on earth is wrong with my luck!) my drawing won't be accepted. And then i'll have to do another book which isn't so bad, but if the author wants me totally out of this then, so be it...

OKAY. now you know how dreadful things are supposed to be for me, i should be crying in some dark dismal corner. But i'm not, and i'm not sure why.
A normal person would just buckle over and weeeeep because right now I've no school to go to, and no job.
While my best friend has a whole life ahead in UWE waiting for her, and a job accepted, etc etc.
Ha...i'm probably going insane xD

well. i mentioned Samantha kiew awhile ago. We were talking on the phone that day and she's in almost the same situation as me =P
She hasn't graduated from poly, although she's my age. (she's in Yr 2)
alright enough of the formalities, i'll go straight to it.
She recently flunked her nursing modules and took the sub papers. Flunking was bad enough, it was cuz her lecturers never liked her and purposely graded her down etc.
Well now, the results of her sub papers are gonna come out TODAY, and if she flunks just one single paper....she has to stay back one entire semester.
Now her relationship with her parents is deteriorating each day and she's been hiding the fact that she couldn't go for internship/attachment cuz she failed her papers and had to sit for subs.
Now if she fails any sub paper, there goes everything.
6 months extra in poly, and her parents will never forgive her.

I wonder what MY parents will say if they find out all that i've been through, too.
Like, what? Your dear daughter can't go UWE cuz she missed by a bit? I thought she's been an ace student all along? And huh, she didn't get a job position cuz she was just not good?
So now she has absolutely no future and nothing to look forward to?
Woohoo.

I shall just sit and wait for armaggedon or something.

*bloop!*
I should blog sooner, but didn't really have the mood and erm, was concentrating on my game cuz I guess that's the only thing that makes me happy for now.
Aah. So everyone, gotten their results back?
Not sure about other schools though. Ria is getting hers back sometime this month i guess...and Gerald dunno wad happened to him xD
Hmm, there're not many my age who take FYP at the same time as me, come to think of it.
Only me, Ria, Gerald...oh Yoshika too...
This is, aside from friends in school of course!
Meiling and Sam Kiew are still in Year 2...
Ah, there's also Li Zi from NYP's digital media design =P
Wonder how she did...must be damn pro lah~

anyways we got back our results yesterday,...was it? ahaa, my memory failing xD
I thought i did quite well for FYP...
I mean, I got a B+
Which is same as andrea o_O
I think she definitely deserves more, she has always been an A student yo~!
But yeah y'know, we figured the school never liked us and the biasness is damn obvious during FYP... I think Andrea's backgrounds and stuff are seriously well-painted, better than mine...
But yet she didn't get A.
Hmms, anyway it doesn't matter for her, cuz her GPA is already above 3 =P

Nyah. Anyhoos, just know that B+ is absolutely nothing because now my GPA is a lovely 2.91 and i've nowhere to goooo~
Can't get into UWE cuz the stupid agreement says we must have a 3,
can't get into Sheridan (or Emily Carr, actually) cuz my mom is gonna scream if she has to pay 4 years for me.
Not like i'm an only child or something, my friends don't understand how much my parents have to spend every month to feed 3 children and one grandma and one maid...=X

wells, we're gonna try asking some lady called Mian when she comes to singapore next wed, whether i'm still allowed to go UWE.
If not then i guess my friends will all fly there leaving me here~~
Gee, the school really ruined my future AND my love for animation.
I guess Andrea too...there's no way she's doing animation now, haa.
So much for raising a young breed of animators for singapore! @.@

Ok time for dinner.
And then it's back to finishing BraveStory =))
it's such an awesome RPG game. The graphics are sooo good, I guess they use 3D.
I mean, *duhh* 3D...but there are alot of special effects in there that make the story exciting.
Although, the only snag is...the plot is a little cheesy. Hahaaa...
IN A NUTSHELL, little girl runs after crazy dog and gets knocked unconscious somehow, then little boy has to rescue her by going on this "brave mission" in another world known as Vision.
He meets like, a thousand new characters and his mission is to find all 5 gemstones or something like that...to insert into his SWORD, which by now (I'm nearing the end of the game) looks like a hideous flapping thing o_O
Then SURPRISE! he meets 2 other travellers (oh yeah, he's a "traveller", so called) named Wataru and Rei. Wataru is the goody and Rei is the baddy.

Ahahahaha~!!
I just made the story sound retarded xD OK, it's not that bad.
Like i said, the story is somewhat cheesy, the way the characters "meet" is like any normal game (y'know, under situations they decide to join your team), but i like the ending =D
Not really the final final ending, cuz i'm still playing now.
But i love how there's still somemore after fighting Rei and his half-green-half-black dragon ^^

I loooooove this extra attack! It's in slow-mo everytime they do it xD

Ah, wish i can get more screenshots of the super cool attacks! I'll try...
I lurve Leynart, the suave charming knight in...blue armour xD
He's the one with the goat horns on his head, dunno why that headgear but anyway ALL of them have retarded headgear anyway.
*looks at above picture* that's the main character, and I keep thinking he's wearning brown diapers on his head o_O

Off to play game~!!

The time has finally come...!!
After months and months of waiting and saving, waiting and saving...
I bought my PSP at long last...!! =DD *hooray!*
It's sleek, black...and totally sexy!
haha...xD
It's modified too, so I don't have to waste a bomb buying games but of course I'll be sure to buy originals when i really want the game.
Not good downloading everything cuz well, sometimes files get corrupted blah blah~
SO.
Without further ado...lemme introduce you to KAI'EN!!! ^^

He's slim, of course. Not PSP Fat, lol~
And he's the cheapest around town... Man i dunno why there's a difference in prices all over singapore, for the exact same thing! o_O
I bought him (yes, it's a "him" isn't it obvious xD) for only S$325!
4GB pro duo memory stick, 20 free games inside...
I paid an extra $15 for the Crystal Case to protect the little boy from harm *aww* =D

So in total it's just $350, a tad cheaper than the PSP Slim i saw at Hougang Mall, which cost $385 not inclusive of whether it's modified or not, and not inclusive of any "protection" whatsoever.
Woo~
Lol of course there are the retarded games amidst the 20 free games, but there're awesome games inside as well - some of which i really want!
Like Burnout Legendsssssssssss...!!
And Dynasty Warriors *lol*
They included Brave Story: New Traveller as well, which i'm kinda hooked onto now! ^^

well well, the guy at the shop didn't tell me a lot of things, but thanks to Yewei (my psp saviour lmao) for the loooooong sms help xD
haha, in the end I figured out that I need to charge Kai'en (my psp! remember it! xD) with my LIGHTBOX's 3-pin plug...and use my MP3's usb port cuz apparently there wasn't any in the package!
I guess all these is like "expected" that you know how to do it.
T_T
Ok fine i'm a n00b. *n00b n00b n00b!*
But I figured it out myself, ha!

Anyhoo. Why "Kai'en"?
Those of you who watch Bleach will go "aahahahahahaha~!!!"
*ahem*
yeah well, *shuffles feet* Kai'en is really a Bleach character...erm....I chose it cuz
1) I like the name xD
2) It's...a guy's name...
3) Kai'en himself is an honourable character in the story and although he's DEAD, he left behind lots of fond memories & the remaining shinigami (esp Rukia) still can't get over his lost. *aww*

Sniff...
Pretty sad yet valiant story. Anyway I like the name. So! My PSP shall be called Kai'en! =]
I wonder when he'll get to meet Jiaying's Nintendo DS...heard she's a girl, woooo~!
hahaha

--------------------------------
Ok the same day I bought Kai'en, I also bought THIS...

Angel Sanctuary ARTBOOK!!!!

Holy shiiiiit~ Lots of nicee pictures inside and definite inspiration for drawing =P

Here, a sneak peak at 2 of the pages (I randomly flipped)

Awesomeness~

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go play BraveStory now xD
Ja~!

Ahh...damn tired these few days, but it's the kind of happy tired ^^
The kind that makes you wanna sleep like a pig and drool like a grandma dog.
ok shit i make no sense.

Shopping with mummy & daddy *aww* on Sunday was fun! xD
No surprise, but of course we had to split up - my dad to do the grocery shopping at NTUC and my mom & I will wander around nyahaha~
That's always the usual plan.
And part of this "usual plan" includes my mom shopping for nonsense stuff which later my dad will whine and whine about wasting money xD lol
Take underwear for example.
My mom'll bring me to exquisite shops like Triumph and er...ERO lingerie? (haha what's wrong with talking about underwear!)
Anyway yeah my dad will start howling "Why so ex! Just buy the one packet $10 lah! Can last whole lifetime"
hahahahahahahaha~!!!
that sentence is still ringing in my head, it's so funny!

Anyway. I bought this darn cute...apple...thing.

LOL! Ok i just needed a place to dump my handphone properly without having to call myself finding it o_O
Now it rests in the BRAINS of thee apple~

Moo moo....I've been kinda peeved these days regarding none other than uni applications and waiting for replies from the school.
Omg, let not what happened during SIP to happen again!
No dejavus this time! NO!
Anyway my hope is that I'll be able to go overseas...to UK especially, cuz of the one-year "secret agreement" thingy which is the best choice for now.
BUT, there are so many complications plus the fact that a GPA of 3 is needed...damn risky.
My pathetic GPA is only 2.85 now...and it all depends on whether I get a B+ for FYP?
something like that.
something pathetic like that.

If not...i'm looking into Academy of Art University...
but that one will be the full 3 or so years. Not too favourable but US is definitely waaaaay cheaper than UK! o_O
I just saw the rates - the US currency dropped so much!
It's like US$1.30 now for S$1. wow.
Whereas UK is a hefty $3.00 to $1.
@_@

Boo~ I shall update maybe tomorrow when...*takes a deep breath*
I GET MY PSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =DD

Whee heeee, I'm starting to feel the happiness~^^
Seriously, I need a total break from school. And it's not the kind of break like "take a week off and we'll see you again!" No.
This break totally clears my mind off anything to do with school =)
Now that dip show is over and no one knows when exactly graduation ceremony is *lol*...it's time to sit back and...get a life!

I just had my House Warming yesterday, it totally rocked =D
My house was flooded with people since morning, and since the catering guy was still setting up the tables LOL!
Majority of the people are my parents' colleagues, of course.
And their pesky kids @.@
At least Candy kept them entertained, but the moment they took her outta the cage and started pulling at her fur...*growl*
Poor Candy =(

At least 100 people came, no doubt! It was so damn noisy haha...
I brought 7 friends, it was supposed to be 9 but Daniel Chia and Yewei couldn't come.
But anyways I'm so glad that people i've never seen for centuries appeared~! xD
haha...
Apparently my mom invited their parents, and they tagged along.
First was Daryl. I never ever thought he'd come, man.
That famous 'Ah Beng' (with the extra spiky hair that's chopped off now due to NS) came surprisingly and guess what - he thinks Candy is "damn cute, man"
*rofl*
Him?! H-h-h-him? He thinks something is actually cute for once in his entire life haha!

Next was Sarah Soon ^^
yeaaaap, with her extra loud father xD I love their family, yo!
Sarah's still as funny as ever, darn i haven't seen her for so long~
I heard Uncle Azariah (yes i'm not kiddin that's his name) was coming and I wanted to see Danielle...but then i guess they weren't free last min.

Okay, that's about the few people my age other than my own friends.
Jiaying, Andrea and Penny came in the afternoon =]
Hoorah, they're coming to my house again next week! Just to hang out, play board games, chill~
Hopefully Yewei isn't still sick =/

Presents/gifts received from House Warming!!

Wine, wine, loads of wine! Dad it's time to get a wine chiller stop procrastinating! *poke*

We had Bailey's (my favourite wine of all time!) for dinner today. Deliciouusssss.
I KNOW it's like 17% alcohol *hohoho* but strange i haven't knocked out yet =P
Heh~
I guess my top 2 favourites are Bailey's and Alize Passion =))

Life is getting better.
I know evil school's gonna come back haunting me with RESULTS in april T_T
But til then, I know i shouldn't worry. And i hope my friends won't too...
In other news, i'm going shopping with my mom this sunday =)
And town with Jiaying next Tues (march 25) to catch the movie Evangelion 1:0 as well as buy my PSP at long last!
Can't wait for that. We're going to hang out at Kino too, lol.
In the meantime I've a ton of anime to watch now hahs...
And lots of messages to reply to on deviantART. I'm so thankful to =AngelinaArt (my dear dear popppet) for featuring me, a lowly starving artist xD
It's not everyday that I get featured somewhere, and although this isn't the first time, I'm still excited!
At least dA is one place that really appreciates me....

Ok.
In other other news, cockroach-san finally died. *lmao*
Guessed who killed him? My bro! =DD
I heard violent spraying in the toilet one night and the next day, dead body on the floor. haa...
Well guess who had to clear it T_T
The way my siblings and I work - my little brother does the screaming, the other brother does the killing, and I do the cleaning up of dead bodies~

lol, I'd wanted to blog sooner but my dad freaked me out by an urgent sms - to do cards for House Warming tomorrow. haha!
He said he needs them in half an hour, so I rushed like a highspeed train...I think tonight will be "time-to-cut-papers" night =P
It'll be fun~

Anyway last night was one of the worst nights in this new house o_O
The Cockroach appeared!!!
Dammit.
I KNOW i saw him before in the toilet some days ago, that same bastard.
He just had to appear in my room last night! *Raaaah*
I dashed to the toilet to grab some weird-looking disinfectant bottle...and we (me and cockroach-san) played the chasing game for almost half an hour!
Gee, now I'm all alone in my room with no grandma to scream together with...
Nope, rest assured I didn't start howling in the middle of the night.

I sprayed that thing soooo many times until it finally retreated to the toilet (no, more like fell head-first in cuz he missed his step).
Thankfully my room is big and spacious and not many places for little critters to hide.
I slammed the toilet door, hoping quietly he'll die in there~
Until I realised.
I've been spraying him with a germ disinfectant bottle.
Which means.......*drum roll* I WAS CLEANING THE COCKROACH!
hahahahahaha~!! xD
What on earth, it was all there is in the cabinet, I couldnt possibly use the toiletbowl cleaner or glass cleaner or...air refresher??

So. Cockroach didn't die T_T
He's probably the cleanest and most germ-removed cockroach in Singapore now.
So much for my ordeal~

House Warming tomorrow! W00t!

Awrite, time for a food blog! ^^
It's fun to blog about food, really. NOT the analytical kind that analyses the breakdown of ingredients in food o_O
anyway.
Last night (17 March) TOYAKU (meaning the 5 of us if you still didn't know by now) was treated to an extremely posh Japanese dining =DD
For the very reason that Jiaying's dad scored a "Hole-in-One" during one lucky golf session xD
ahaha~~
I've no idea what that means, but i know he received $500 to spend in one night!
Yesssssssssss - thus the exquisite once-in-a-lifetime dinner @ KOME Japanese Dining~!!

Bwahaha~jiaying's parents damn cute lahs!
Love golf so much~ More than any other parent i know lol..
OKAY. photo time! We were like some siao japanese tourist (even worse, i think) snapping pictures of every dish that came xD
But hey, i'll never ever come back to this place again so it's really once-in-a-lifetime, yo~

In order of dishes that came...

Assorted Chef's Sushi which cost like, $145 o_O!!!

Special unagi toufu in an extremely nice bowl (cuz it's purple and blue ahaha i'm biased xD)

Shishamo!! lol once again, i didn't eat the head~
Nyahahaha jiaying don't force it down my throat! Penny and Andrea also didn't eat the head! *point point*

Lovely Chawan Mushi, one of my favourite japanese food.
This one had shark's fin inside woo~

Some Koi Fish thingy which tasted like fish & CHEESE =D

Salmon SASHIMIIIIIII!!! xD
Our favourite favourite favourite favourite favourite..

More sushi! ^^

Tempura and some kinda weird eggplant thing that JY's parents ordered. lol i've no idea what i'm eating

The funniest dish of the night - Giant UDON bowls!!!
haha, omg Penny and Andrea ordered this not knowing that the bowls are so huge xD
And all of us were already kinda full by now *looks at all the above food*
Penny shared with Yewei *awww* while Andrea victoriously finished the whole bowl!
*ROFL*

The last dish was something Jiaying and I ordered. =)
You see, we both love sashimi (or salmon) so yup, here's the special Salmon Battayaki!
it's salmon cooked with butter sauce~
LOL we were dreading it's gonna be a huge portion and but thankfully no xD

Dessert! W00t - our dessert compartment not full yet ^^
I think Japanese Green tea ice-cream (Macha) seriously rocks. I've tried the one at Aji Tei and Sakae Sushi and Waraku...and they're all unforgettable =)
Jiaying and I had another round of Peach sherbet cuz we're such pigs. Yeah. xD

Ice-cream finished~
erm, that's jiaying's new rabbit toy (he's male. and gay, most probably HAHA) which Penny insisted to be called "Retardee"

Another shot of "Retardee" together with JY's strange dancing skeleton man.
I bet he's also gay.
Hahahahaha~!

OMG, i know i really must blog cuz so many things just happened in such a short period of time =P It's almost as though a high speed train just rushed past and the wind blew all my hair away.
Ok bad analogy. xD

Dip Show & Stuff...
MOVING ON......well it's kinda like everything sucked for me since FYP started, or rather, since internship started.
Everything about school is suckified now, i don't really think about it.
I'm just thankful that my friends are so supportive of me & really, i love them, man. ^^
Without them i really wouldn't have learnt anything.
I just hate the way this school, although just a simple polytechnic, has such a elitist attitude.
Y'know, elite.
Care about the best and ignore the rest.
I thought only certain JCs have this attitude (I shan't mention~) but now it seems like this place encourages elite students only.
It's damn obvious now.

Bah, anyway just to end off my diploma show which lasted for 5 friggin days xD....
I've some photos of my booth, before during and after!

[WARNING: Extra long post with tons of glorious photos to entertain thee~!]

Before...actually it all started with two blank panels. ha.

My booth during dip show...

Ah, on the right (whichever way you're standing) you'll see Liujun the China Man's communist booth xD
On the left...is a window. *lol*

My dear cell members came on the last day (even though it's only 5 of them, i'm thankful enough) and helped me rip down my stuff! Woo~ Efficiency FTW!

Ok I wanna thank those who came, it's not many but still.
On Wednesday my parents came together with my annoying singing brother. Oh, and my colleagues/one boss from SIP company as well.
I'm glad they came lah, even though jiaying and I really dislike the company. Well. The nicer people came, at least.
(The nicer people = Ian Ang, Sansan, Iswan and Ian Chua)
On Thursday...well no one told me they're coming but my old old old old boss (from the company before i started poly!) came and surprised the shit outta me =D
Apparently he came back as an alumni for VSC lah, cuz he's from Visual Comm like 10 years ago, lol.
But he came back to see David (yes, leedaomengdavid) and me.
On Friday Maria and her friend Isabelle came ^^
On Saturday 5 of my cell members came! Joanne, Avelyn, Sam Kiew, Joshua and Joyce!
On Sunday...AAHAHA dip show over already!! *slap* If you still wanna come......

Oh yeah Xing Jie and IZ came twice too, i forgot which days.
And i think i caught a glimpse of Jamin...ahaha! anyway.
DIP SHOW IS OVER and i'm friggin relieved. Like i said, no matter how well you think i can draw and stuff, this school never really supported me and encouraged me, so i'm totally gonna go out there and start a new "life".
Enough of this elitist attitude in Temasek design school. yupp!

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

OCS Commissioning
Alright man. Next up, something that just happened a few hours ago.
Something really GRAND...=DD
Yup, it's the commissioning of Ian and Josia after 9 months in OCS!!!
(Officer Cadet School, for those of you who're scratching your heads. Don't scratch anymore, you'll bald.)

lol we were specially invited to this grand event at the SAFTI M.I.
(SAFTI Military Institude, for those of you scratching even more)
Oh my goodness, that place is like a friggin RESORT k!!
Got tennis court, badminton court, aircon halls, SWIMMING POOL...o_O
And it's huge. Massive.
We all went in like a bunch of retarded kids going on excursion.

Anyway the parade started at around 5.45pm.
Feels a lot like national day, lmao. Still sing national anthem HAHAHA!
I think i forgot the lyrics to that funny song after 3 years of well, forgetting it.
Okay, i must admit that even though the whole thing was rather cheesy and stuff, and the dude on the microphone can't speak properly....I must say that all 360 newly-appointed officers are really smart today ^^
Seriously, guys in uniform are sooooooo much more good-looking.
Plus anyway, I'm just damn happy for my 2 dear buddies who've endured the siaoness in OCS and are officially OFFICERS from today on~! 8D
People salute to them, k! Can't believe this.

Feels like just yesterday they were wearing slippers and shorts xD
And today, whoaaaaaa white uniform, man!! *spazzes*
I never ever thought my cell group guys were hot. hahaha~
Or maybe it's just the uniform.
Ok it's just the uniform.
It's the uniform.
xD

PHOTOS~!!!!!!!!!

After the march in...all standing so straight like bamboos

Funny little flag-barrier contingent marching in xD
I didn't see them at first

Ah, nice tower. *distracted*

ROFL this guy bent down to tie his shoelace! WTH!! @.@

the marching band!

Ahh, nice clouds *distracted again*

Then...the moment comes! All 360 officers are gonna throw their hats into the sky!!

Wheeeeeee~!!! 8D

Happy pile!!!

Oh yeah, they started throwing each other into the air too lol...
And Ian carried Nicole haha!! (his sis lah! who else)
Nicole's SUPER lucky to have a brother like Ian, man. ha...
D'you know just how many girls queued to take photo with him xD
Of course, Ian being Ian...he gave us priority ^^

There! 2 handsome guys...No. 2 handsome OFFICERS desu! xD
they're so happy, yo~

Avelyn and her friend James =P

Ave & Yuwei! Yup, Yuwei's like, already an officer (2nd lieutenant) so now there are 3 guys in my cell group who can knock anyone down anytime!
And have their own bunch of "men" under them...saluting them unbelievably...lol what a sight.
*RESPECT*

Me, Josia, Ria! ^^
Dun play play ah, I think Josia's damn fierce when he commands ppl. haha...

there. 4 girls with Ian. Happy now? xDD

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

Food food fooooooood
Of course, after commissioning we were damn hungry.
I only ate a $2 sandwich from some vending machine in Business School.
Ria, Ave, Sam, Me and Andy (oh yeah! we met Andy! I haven't seen him in a CENTURY) went to Long John Silver's for dinner...
After which we headed down to Swensen's cuz Avelyn was so damn happy and wanted to treat us! =D *thank you girl*

We ordered this ice-cream called Firehouse. Woo~
well it was Ave's birthday 2 days ago so, a belated birthday photo xD

Ice-cream!

Andy said he's never been out with 4 girls at one shot. Go you.

Ave wanted to take photo with this extremely nice waitress =P

W000000000t - I've never felt surrounded by so many important people at one shot.
Not just the VIPs that came for my dip show, but also the commissioning of my friends... I just can't believe they're so important in the army now. ha...
Sleepy sleepy...Goodnite!

Woo. Dip show finally started, yo~
Today's the 2nd day already. Yesterday was so damn tired, no energy to blog.
haha...and i had to post up *Kaisuki's birthday gift art! ^^
lol i finally managed to post it up in time this year! *woo!*
Was soooooo glad she liked it =D

My deviantART isn't like, thriving with watchers and very popular etc....
that's what i feel anyway.
I know I've more watchers and faves than some people but that's not the point.
Ah whatever.
To me, honestly i really love deviantART, it's the only place that really appreciates me as an artist. I'm damn disappointed that this school only has eyes for the 'good students'.
It's damn obvious during diploma show. All those peeps like me are totally thrust outta the limelight, booths hidden in dark corners~~

Oh yeah, i dunno why is it like that, it seems to me that you have to be good since Year One, to be good in the end.
There's no such thing as improvement etc...
Cuz i feel that i've improved so drastically since Year One, and yet my grades remain the same cuz i wasn't as outstanding during first year.
And so many people have improved too, yet the same thing is happening to them.
Hmm...there's this DVD that the school put together comprising of all the best students' works =P
That's when we see that those who are in there, were good from Year One.
Huhu~ Animation it's always the same few people: Andrea, Jiaying, Neville, Joel, Jingjie, Liujun...

Have I ever seen Jiayi's stuff get featured...or Yewei's...or Penny's...or even myself T_T
I actually think Yewei and Penny improved a lot already, man.
Look at all Yewei's backgrounds!! Seriously nice and detailed.
And like, Jiayi can sketch very well from all her traditional art works.
And Penny has a very unique style herself...
But all of us weren't good in Year One, and it's like our fates are sealed.
lol~ Cheat my feelings bwahaaa...
Tommy Quek and the old IMD course manager were the ones who got me in TDS, and said I was good.
In the end, what shit is this...Lecturers don't really care about us because we're being over-shadowed by all the better ones. No matter how much we improve..

Ahh i dunno, i've alot of "fans" in deviantART across the world who are awed by the stuff I do, saying things like i'm an "animation god", haha...
I'm like totally shocked, cuz I'm a NOBODY in school k!
I don't even feel like coming for diploma show anymore simply cuz no one sees my work OR take my namecard...or worse, go inside that empty room.

I don't care lah, i'm leaving at 4pm on Friday cuz Avelyn's birthday is more important than Dip show now. X)
Not like anyone will see my stuff anymore, not like anyone will take my namecards etc.
Cuz no one ever walks into that damn small EMPTY room. T_T
I can't believe Amanda put me together with all those guys who don't make an effort to display their panels.
It's because of that that nobody enters to see stuff =(
I'm only banking on Liujun to help me now......

Geez. Everything sucked for me ever since FYP started.
Now I see the true colours of all my lecturers and the school.

Woot - It's a happie day ^^
Toyaku Gang went to print loads more stuff today, ahaha...
I've to go back once more on Tuesday (dip show alumni night!!) to collect my postcards...plus 2 more A4 mounted prints.
I think jiaying's gonna print more stuff, perhaps i should start scanning in my sketchbook works & printing them. I mean, i've already got the plastic sheets and ring-binding-thingy ready =P
AND, i was just about to start ripping out my sketchbook like a siao woman, until i received jiaying's sms xD *lmao at myself*

oh yeah. moses wanted us to go back on friday (i think) suddenly o_O
To see the external examiners, but this time it was the whole MOI. Or so i think.
lol, so last min. I woke up all zombified, only to receive Ronald's msg to come to school at 4pm for this.
Bweeerrrh...and i'd planned to colour finish my last postcard. Geez.
Anyway i figured - nobody went xD
None of my friends went, that's all i know. And jiayi definitely didn't go cuz she's all the way in HK now lol~!!
I wonder if we gave a bad impression on the sch etc etc...but really, isn't it bad enough impression that we're called back all of a sudden for something we've no idea about, or that this is the way they treat their students xD
I don't even know what we're seeing them for @.@

okay i was working on this:

Started with his hair, cuz i know it's gonna be tough!
I still don't really know how to colour hair. *mrrrph*

Next up, clothes. Creases are an absolute nightmare! @_@
I got reference from some silly-looking dude on gettyimages again.
It always has to be a silly old man or some ugly person that has the nicest creases eh xD

Forgot why i took this screenshot ^^;
I think i was colouring his eyes. ahahaaa...

They sky...AGAIN. *lol* How many times have i coloured skies for FYP xD

TA-DAAAAAAAA~!!
[Note: Khyte is my Original Character name. Stop flipping through the dictionary for that word now xD]

Few days ago i did another fan art...for a really belated birthday gift.
Heh...
This time it's Tyki Mikk from D.Gray-man! =D
Oh man, i've never drawn Tyki before so this is my first time, yo~
More screenshots to kill your eyes!

lol hair again xD Never am i colouring tyki's curly hair again!
So curly....*swirl swirl~*

...the funny Victorian style cloth thingy at his neck.

...and the glove ^^
I think i enjoyed colourig his clothes the best

Background desu~! =D Chose 4 random poker cards and coloured them in!
The purplish BG is a combination of 2 textures...thanks to CG Textures *nod*

*finished*!!! 8D

woo~I've an undone Bill Kaulitz digital painting still rotting in my hard disk xD
Waiting for me to colour his remaining arm, bwahaha...
Was thinkin of giving it as a gift art to my friend ~Kuroi-Tenshii on deviantART!
Cuz she's obsessssssssed with Tokio Hotel and Bill in particular. Heh.

And i'm planning to do another digital paint for *Kaisuki's birthday!
It's 11 March. Shit.
Think i'll do this one during the weekend...which is only tomorrow. lol~!
Ohh, the many birthdays & gift arts~~
But it's fun to do gift arts.
I know of some artists who don't do gift arts, don't accept art trades...=x
that is unless they're really busy, of course. but some ppl just don't like it, i dunno why...
There's freedom in planning what you want to draw for that special someone, ne?

I think i'll update about more future plans in another post~
Til then!

OooOOOomigoodness. I can't believe the stuff that's going on about me lately xD
Just yesterday i lost my hard disk o_O
Left it in school, yo~
There's also external moderation which i wanna talk about..
And the day before i had the craziest 'shopping spree' ever.
And my laptop is finally alive and kicking again!!!
LOL so many things, see!

First things first, my hard disk.
We were uploading our crap to the online portfolio in some ADM lab (goodness knows why we have to do this for dip show T_T) and Penny and I finished first, and went to look for Alan Rudge.
Jiaying and Andrea helped pack our things & brought them down since we had to situate ourselves outside 3D room to "catch" any recent sightings of alan xD
Y'know, lecturers appear and disappear VERY FAST.
Ok it was partly my fault lahs, I didn't check my bag to see if they brought down everything.
B-but...that's cuz i trusted them!
Who would start rummaging through their bags inspecting *lmao*
Nyahh, doesn't mean i don't trust them anymore, of course. Childish thinking xD
So it was just carelessness on my part too~
Paid the awful price of worrying the whole night through when i went home *meep*

Thankfully thankfully the lady who helped us with the online portfolio was responsible enough to keep my hard disk! And even msg me this morning at 9.30am to tell me it's with her.
Double phew!!! 8D
I'm so glad i've such helpful friends too ^^
Jiaying helped msg Changboon calling for help...and Jiayi offered to help me collect it today when she goes to sch to upload her portfolio.
D'awwww~~
So now my hard disk is safe and sound with Changboon, which he'll pass to Jiayi later.
THANK YOU Jiaying, Chang Boon and Jiayi!!
Ahaha, and thank God, man =DD

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

Oh yah. External moderation.
I don't really know where those 2 guys are from, but they were super super nice people.
The chinese dude was Jason & the ang moh guy was David.
Yeah well, Alan was in the room too but he didnt say anything.
omg i was so damn nervous & guess what, my presentation was pushed forward by 2 hours! haha~
Cuz they suddenly realised that only Joel and I were scheduled after lunch, so they decided last minute to throw us together with the morning batch.
lol, but i guess it's good lah, everyone finish early =))
The moderation itself was not too bad, only snag was when Jason said my SFX too scary.
bwahahahaha~
Other than that they were pretty impressed with my music composition...THANK GOD they didn't say anything about my animation!!!
cuz it sucks xD
Maybe that's why they didn't say anything. hah.
David kept repeating "yea, it's a sad story, very sad story" @_@
I'm like, "ok..."
I guess those 3 words Jason said "I LIKE IT", then turning to look at David in which he nodded in agreement - totally made my day!! ^^

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

yupp, now for the crazy shopping trip me and Jiaying had!~8D
It was that kind of feeling after the whole day out; very tired, but very satisfied, body-breaking-down-and-mulfunctioning, with a touch of sheer madness....xD
We started off at Hougang Mall, the place we've never visited in centuries~
We'd to get a whole list of things for dip show, especially.
After Hougang we travelled to Plaza Sing again, and totally went crazy at DAISO!
It's this $2 shop where...everything and anything under the sun is sold!
You can get plants on one shelf and pet accesories on the next, then plates and bowls just beside.
HAHA damn rojak~
Woo jiaying bought 2 orange fences, damn funny!!
Oh, and a whole lot of leaves too. Retarded, man. Guess whose idea was it xD
*looks around*

At the end of the day, these are the stuffies i bought~!

A total of 7 plastic bags, lol.
Oh yaaaaaaaaah, i must draw your attention to the Cloud jigsaw puzzle!!!
I still can't believe this, it's 1000 pieces and it's...........$5!!!!!!!!! x_X
*wth*
It's not authentic, of course, but it's really 1000 pieces inside and not some fake picture cutout. haa~
Jiaying bought the one with Cloud & Sephiroth, and that's all the shop had cuz it's really limited.
What a steal, man.

Look at this cakey too. It's FAKE! xD
The big one is $16.90 and the small one is $6.90.
They're actually towels. damn interesting =P
I bought the small one for any other birthday that's coming, while the big one is for Avelyn's birthday *shhhh!!* and to be shared by 5 of us (Ria, Sam, Swing, Meiling and me).
haha, i don't think Ave reads my blog...i hope.

Anyways yeah it was such a crazy day & I was totally exhausted..
Oh. I bought a spray thingy for THIS PLANT in my toilet *looks down*

haha~~ now i don't have to splash water all over it and drown that stupid vegetable.

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

Spent that happy night making leaves for my dip show panel =P

I didn't know cutting felt can be so painful. Or maybe my bones were already giving way~ o_O

Ok erm, just an update of Candy...
Took her grooming last sat finally ^^
Her beeelated beeeeeelated birthday present cuz i was stuck with fyp last year.
Poor doggie, so smelly already hahah
At least her smell isn't as overwhelming as some dogs o_O
The kind that fills the whole house, haha! Candy always has this baby dog smell~^^

[note: donuts are for tempting purposes xD]

w00t - that's all for now! My laptop is finally alive again and now i just have to get my internet connection ready & download all the softwares once again~
But first, my hard disk xD
Gonna meet Jiayi later with Candy... ^^ haha

WoooOooo~
First up, Congratooolations to IAN and JOSIA, who are gonna have their commissioning on 15th March as 2nd lieutenants! xD
And Yuwei is gonna rise another rank as Lieutenant come this July. Hoho~

Well well, I just had a blast. I dunno, it seems like as Dip shows draws near, my friends are all kinda stressed and stuff, all wanting their panels to look the best.
Well of course everyone does want to look good or at least presentable...but really, i felt there's no need to become all emo about the fact that yours isn't as good as the person next to you.
Meep.
Maybe it's just a good competitive spirit, but seriously, there's no need to be so stressed! =(
I guess it's just me, it sucks to be optimistic always.
No one loves a forever optimistic person, i dare say.
No one loves it when you're all smiles & when all you intend for is to cheer the person up, people generally see you as some psychopath who's never sad.
This world sucks. =(

Anyway yes, like i said, i had the best time of my life a couple minutes ago, on deviantART!
Ok i went over to my messages as usual, and saw to my utmost confusion (it WAS confusion at first, trust me) that *Dolphy faved my FYP Animation!!!! *omg*
I posted up my fyp some days ago.
And as usual, it's always the same few faithful watchers that fave my work.
Apart from my famous dragon tattoo deviation which received faves from all sorts of people (It's reached 93 faves til date!), the rest of my deviations remain below 10 faves.
Erm, only recently was I featured in a news article by *Cataclysm-x did I receive tons of faves.
But now, THIS!
It's almost as if *Artgerm faved my works, lol.
Cuz *Dolphy has like, a million pageviews too and omg I haven't gotten over the shock that she faved my fyp.
I guess this really made my day, and no other criticism about my poor kiwi animation can bring me down anymore...!!!!! *yells*

Anyways just a quickie update about future plans and stuff.
Jiaying, Penny and I are looking into this University of West England school...in UK of course. ^^
Needa find out more about this weird MOU thing they have with TDS. hmms.
Apparently if all of us get a GPA of 3 and above, we can "jump" all the way to third year and complete our Degree in one year. *nod*
Lol sounds too good to be true~
So yea, we really need to capture Alan and squeeze info outta him...!! xD
Plan an ambush or something and lock him in a cell~

Jiaying's asked her parents about this already and her dad seems keen on wanting her to get a degree...fast. X]
I wonder if my parents will say the same.
anyways she's considering this option only if the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) holds true for the BA Hons in Illustration With Animation...or even Illustration itself.
(I'm talking about courses here)
'Illustration with Animation' and 'Illustration' are separate courses.

okie short update. I'll be back with more ^^

Omigosh, i'm finally using a good device to blog xD
My mommy kindly brought home her laptop for me to work...unfortunately i can only work at night after she comes home from work so...my bio clock's all wacked now xD
Sleep in the morning/afternoon and wake up at night, lol~

I tried calling IBM again today and phhhft. Although their service is good, it's good only when they finally answer your phone T_T
Geeeeez.
Tomorrow i'm gonna call again. *sigh*
My poor poor dead laptop...*strokes it*

Ah.
Yesterday was such a goooood day ^^
Finally could shop in PEACE at last.
No fyp, no distractions, no deadlines, no need to hurry home for something...
Jiaying and i went to PS (Plaza Sing). Mainly to catch the movie that we've been wanting to watch since the beginning of time~ xD
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street!
If i remember that long long title correctly.
Woohooooo~
We finally watched the barber show~ the barber show~the barber show~^^ *sings*
haha omg it was SOOO GOOD! Unbelievably good.
I think people are freaked out that it's some demon barber, etc etc.
But trust me, it's the best thing i ever watched since Ratatouille! =D
Well for one, it's a musical, unlike any other movie. And musicals are always nice. This time, it rocks even more cuz normal actors (not trained singers) are doing the singing.
Oh boy, Johnny Depp can really sing! haha xD

Of course, we wanted to watch this barber show *lol* cuz of Johnny Depp, cuz we trust his acting and the fact that this guy can really pull off a good show.
Plus, it's directed by Tim Burton, an incredible director. *Hats off!*
I know Tim Burton really has a mind for creepy thingies and it's shown really clearly in this show, yo. His gothic style is so evident.
A gothic barber, set in a gothic shop somewhere in London, with a very gothic shop lady...
Everything is like, creepy creepy in this show. Perfect!
Plus, I now have newfound respect for Mr. Depp ^^

He's one of the most versatile actors i've seen~
I mean, not only can he act like a goofy hot pirate, he can act as an insane hot barber! LOL!
But it's that kind of insanity that doesn't require an insane-looking person to act xD
If you know what i mean. So i'm proud he could pull it off so well.
Hmm. I think this movie's GREAT, but as the ratings say, it's M18 because of the sheer violence and gore~!
(oh darn, i scared the kiddies away)
It's really very gory lah, but it's not some scarefest that have you sit there and scream & cry.
There's a good storyline behind it and although *omg spoiler!!!* it ended with some sort of a cliffhanger...xD

Ok it isn't exactly an intense cliffhanger that makes you wonder & wonder & wonder.
The ending was a little abrupt (we don't exactly know what happened to Joanna and that Anthony idiot...or the little boy...) but we do know the ending for Sweeney Todd and his wife, and the judge, and the pervert, and the retarded Italian barber, and Mrs Lovett... hahaha

------

Well well, like i said i did alot of shopping this past week & running errands etc~
Spent about close to $100, woo!
But i've never been more satisfied ^^

Heh. Some part of my spendings come from printing stuff for diploma show T_T
Geez. I spent more than $60++ on this FYP already...and now more to come as more stuff is needed for dip show.
oh wells, moses promises it will be a good one. ahaaa...well. I just hope it is.

Anyways, i think i find myself satisfied at little things =P
You don't need to like, give me a 100-carot diamond ring or some crap like that to satisfy me. I mean, just a movie like Sweeney Todd can make me happy for the whole day already =D
And today, i was 'compiling' a package to be sent to Denmark!
I included gifts for Helena, Brian, Gitte (pronounced: Gee-ter) and Stine (pronounced: Stee-nor).
=DD
I feel so happy now that my parcel is ready to be sent! hee.
Aw, i really wonder how everyone in Denmark is doing... Heard Brian's now a surfer boy, hmm? xD
Last time i remember him he was this silly 10-yr-old boy with short blonde hair & buck teeth...and his toy trucks were lying all around the house. Ahahaaaaa~ WTH.
He ditched all those truckies for a cool surfboard~~
And since the beach is within walking distance from their house $%%&^^%!!?*#

ok yes. Long entry once again~
I'll sign off with a couple stooopid photos. Bask in all their glory, fellas!

*munch munch*

HEAD IN THE BOWL!

wooooo~

I brought poliwhirl & Deidara to JY's house for the stayover ^^
Since my Deidara's still a little kid. And he'll drop off the table.
So...big bro poliwhirl is here to take care of him. D'awwww~!!! 8D

WTF. I DID NOT DO THIS.

p.s.!!!
oh yeah! I'm selected for external moderation...!! DD:

Mehhh my entire laptop died right after FYP -_-
So i'm finally trying to blog on this lousy comp downstairs...at least it's something.
Huhu~
So many things happening these past few days, this post's gonna take up an entire page, yo~!
Anyway.

So our group/team/gang/clique/bunch of retards has been officially changed from Otaku Gang to TOYAKU gang! Ahahahahaha!! :D
Courtesy of Penny... cuz Otakus are pimply nerds that stay at home all day and play games.
And we don't, lol!
And because we like toys as well (hey, figurines are toys too!), so TOY + OTAKU = TOYAKU!
bwahaaa~

yes yes, Toyaku went out again so many times this week i think i lost count =P
Went to Sim Lim Square for the first time in centuries...so get Jiaying's *ILLEGAL!!!!* R4 card...xD
omg the store owners at Sim Lim are creepy...all of them stared at us when we walked around, i mean, literally everyone stared at us. Kinda feels like we don't belong in that place with all the uncles and businessmen...haha.
Wells we saw this friggin cute little thing! ^^
(at the shop where JY eventually bought her R4)

Ooh PSP's go for S$325 for 2GB and S$350 for 4GB in that shop =D
I think i've saved up more than enough! Finally...!! *bounces*

Ate at Sakae Sushi Bugis after "shopping" at Sim Lim.
Oh yeah, "guest-star" Ira came along with us that day. LOL!

We ate 26 plates in total...plus dessert.
Ah, so lousy~ xD

Toyaku outing Day 2
Ah, no better word to call our little 'adventures' xD
Okaaay, we went print our insane A2 posters at long last.
The moment has finally come!! After staring at our seniors past FYP posters on the 2D lab wall for over a year, now's our turn to churn out our very own!

Lookie~!

Posters from the 5 of us in Toyaku, lol
Sorry about the lighting and stuff, i can't use photoshop to change anything cuz yea, i'm using a lousy comp now.

Andrea's poster:

Ye wei's poster:

Penny's poster:

Jiaying's poster:

And finally, mine!:

ahaa...the deceiving posters xD
Looks so nice but the animation sucks ahahaa...
Anyway uhh, i realised i forgot to talk about presentation that day.
Too happy that it's all finally over ^^
well well, my presentation was last Tuesday.
Compared to those that went on Monday, this time round there were 7 lecturers examining us!
I'm not sure if these 7 are the only ones marking, though.
Hopefully...i think they had had enough ppl arguing over our marks, lalala~

I guess my presentation was rather smooth...I totally ignored aimless comments, tho' ^^
I mean, no point trying to argue when i know there's 0% chance of winning anyway if no one else agrees with you.
It's like that.
Julian was the most supportive of my FYP, surprisingly.
He said he could actually remember my work during Interim 1! And he kept asking me to go watch "Surf's Up", lol.
Alan and Amanda were supportive too, even though Alan tried to make me laugh with his lame jokes T_T
Mehh, they were all making fun of my poor kiwi half the time~
Alan said my kiwi migrated to Canada and got lost, couldn't get a plane ticket back etc etc....o_O
Er, that was in an attempt to make me laugh.
xD
I dunno how or why these "other two" examiners are involved, cuz the feedback they gave isn't exactly helpful at all, and for some of my dear friends they ended up giving them a hard time.
I just feel that if you don't know the amount of effort that goes into this FYP, the amount of discussions and shit that come outta endless consultations, then please shut up.
Stop looking at our works like some industry showcase to show off to ppl.
Our FYP is not to glorify the sch in any way, so please stop using us to make ppl think this place is so good etc.
And if you say our works suck, then don't put up a front when the VIPs come for diploma show & say these students are excellent, superb...when during presentation you tell us off.
Kinda hypocritical...

I'm sounding so "aggressive" only cuz someone couldn't understand Jiaying's work, of all people.
And that someone obviously doesn't know she's criticising the best student in the entire cohort, yo!
When VIPs praise jiaying's work, my bet is that the whole school will start going with the flow...
Will YOU still be saying "I still don't understand why rabbits eat nuts" to the VIPs? Hmph.

Oookie. Reaching school in 2 hrs time to set up for diploma show~^^
Maybe i'll take more pics =D
See ya!

p.s. We're doing something crazy for Alan, Amanda and Ronald! Sneak peek!

LOL.

YAY FYP is over!!
lol i could say this again and again in every post.
Ne, did you read my previous post? Anyway now it's party-timmmmme...!! ^^
After ALL that hard work~
Finally my posts can be a little more exciting and interesting...more pics...more nonsense...=D
Instead of solemn sad demented posts about how FYP sucks. lol.

I'm sooooo uber excited now (i'm sure you can tell!)
At long last I can go on my much-awaited shopping and eating sprees xD
Just yesterday we The Otaku Gang (as Ye wei puts it) finally spent the day out!
Starting from school, we were to meet Amanda for some Diploma Show briefing at 2pm.
(bwahaha Andrea and I came so damn late we arrived when the briefing was over xD)

Woo~ So much to do for this upcoming Dip show, yo~!
There's the A2 poster we gotta print...and then we're all gonna print name cards and postcards haa...Somewhat stressful but exciting at the same time ^^
Oh yeah, just before we left school and headed for town, we signed this RETARDED "card" for Ronald-san~!!
Ahaha...Guess what. It's my YEAR ONE work!
From Drawing Essentials, no less.
Can't believe i kept it all the way til now, though. And it's back to haunt Ronald!! *mwahaha*

Front...

Back...with all our lovely messages.

Ronald's now forced to keep this piece of shit for life xD
What better way to say thank you~ *aww*

And then it's time to head down to TOWN!
Oooh Jiaying and I finally bought new jeans~
We ran around Far East Plaza like crazed tourists never see shopping centre before...xD
There were SO MANY toy shops ahhhhh *starry eyes*
I'm soooo gonna save up for that Squall figurine at the top floor of Far East!!
(forgot the shop name)
W00t - I didn't buy a lot of things that night (only my jeans) but it was damn good cuz i got so much information of the things i wanna save up for now...time to make a list!
There's still the PSP Slim I'm eyeing...and the Saiyuki Artbook i'm dying to get my hands on since FYP started.

Well well, we chanced on this shop at Wheelock Place called Dollz Inc.
Whooooa it's Penny's heaven! haha..
All the different toys toys TOYS! *burst*
I saw a Raito figurine too, but alas, the only coloured ones left were MISA. T_T
*lmao*
And Jiaying nearly exploded when we saw the whole stack of GUNDAM action figures!
Hahaha...Too bad Kyrios (my favourite too) isn't in stock yet but there was Dynames (Jiaying's favourite) sitting right there~
The shopkeeper was surprised we girls liked Gundam, especially Gundam00. Woo!

Okie dinner time!
We stood outside Dollz Inc. debating where to go for dinner~~
There was just so many delicious things we deprived ourselves of since FYP started. Bleh..
In the end we chose Fish and Co....
LOL Penny doesn't want her face to be seen on my blog SO...
I present to you our Otaku Gang!!!
(with Andrea missing out. that wooooooman...!!)

See! I'm the most hideous-looking. Happy now? xD

Anyway the food was deliciousssss...!!
Finally got to eat long-awaited mussels ^^ I shared one pan with jiaying...*slurrrrp*

New York Fish n Chips~

Oh yeah, before our food came *lol forgot* we started opening our toys...
These little guys made Jiaying spaz all over AHAHA

Big-headed Pokemons!!! xD Their heads are so big they need this sticky thing to be glued to their asses in order for them to stand straight~

The food came, the stupid waiter shoved them aside (I think he didn't even see those little guys) and look where they ended up...

!!!!!

Yaaay, next time we're going Manhattan Fish Market!
I actually think it's better than Fish and Co. =P
But both are already really good, woo~

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

Oof! Back home at long last~
I've never been this tired coming home at 11pm, but it's a satisfied and excited feeling ^^
Excited cuz there'll be more "outings" to come with my dear Otaku Gang haha...
Speaking of which, the next one happens tomorrow! LOL!
I foresee this blog being updated everyday at this rate xD

oh yeah, i forgot to report about my curtains, have I?
Erm. My room has curtains now =P

And some time ago I bought these two wonderful ornaments~

haha they look soooo good *displays them*
Byakuya and Renji desu...!!!
My room is becoming a much happier place =D

One more thing.
I fixed THIS hanger all by myself, yo!

I think i've been fixing loads of things since FYP finished xD
Things for my room especially.
Ima weird girl~~
But who cares

Finally finally finally....!!!!! =DD
FYP IS OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
*roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!*

omg...it took a while for everything to sink in, man.
Jiaying and I were the first 2 to hand up our FYPs, lmao.
We handed up at 9.30am. Siaoness~
(submission was at 11am)

Of course, the night before that was chaotic!
Especially for poor Yewei.
I must say this FYP experience is never like before, yo...
We ran into SO MANY PROBLEMS, thanks to the school.
That's why none of us have credited the school. So there.
Ok here's a run-through of what happened on the oh-so-lovely Valentine's Day~

What happened on 14 Feb

9.30am
Woke up and left for Jiaying's house... lol first time going her house from this new house of mine. We live super near now, woo!

Oh yeah, we found this doggie walking around aimlessly outside the "condo" (dunno whether it's a condo or not, lol)
Mehhhh, poor doogie!!
It had no collar or anything and and and...we wanted to take it home xD

OMG it started eating weird things off the ground o_O
Suspected to be those food that chinese people offer to gods and for some reason flung out their windows and landed HERE, in the middle of nowhere and THIS dog ate it. =/

Around 11.30am
Penny and Yewei finally made their way down to Jiaying's house too! Yay the 3 of us were gonna stayover~ ^^

Around 1.30pm
Ordered Mac's for lunch =D
Bweeerrhh delivery charges are like, S$3 now. T_T
A horrible photo i took of our little picnic *looks down*

Haha, dunno how many times we had to wipe stuff spilled on the floor.
And whose idea was it to eat upstairs huhhhhhh? xD *lmao*

5.30pm
I finally started on my credits list!! It was rush hour, man.
Penny was still compiling her animation and adding sound effects, and Yewei...omg, he was still colouring his animation!! =/
We worked like crazy.
There was so many last minute things to do, wth.
I still had my silly Biography to do and select 4 jpeg images for the convenience of the school.
After this, we still have to rush down to school to burn DVD and do this horrible last minute thing of transfering our animation to DV tape.
What on earth, man.
It's totally not our fault that we didn't know we had to transfer to DV tapes. *hmph*
Alan sent a last min email telling all of us to come to school on like, Tues...to FIGURE OUT how to transfer our files to that old old tape.
SERIOUSLY.
Why must we do this?
Make everyone panic only.

Well at least i learnt that we have to add another 30 seconds of this 'bars and tone' thing before our animation starts.
So 30 secs before our FYP starts screening, there's this super long toooooooooooooooooooooooooot!
Alan said TV broadcasters always request for this 'toot'.
lol u probably dunno what i'm babbling about~

7pm
RUSHED OFF TO SCHOOL...!!! @.@
Panic mode, panic mode!
So damn late, man.
At least i finally finished everything, and Penny was rendering her animation along the way.
Oh yeah, Andrea came over too lugging the Sony DV Camera.
Thankfully Jiaying's dad offered to drive us to school! *phew*
Thank you uncleeeeeeeeeeeee...!! ^^
Her parents are so uber nice k... unlike most parents i know.
Unlike my parents T_T
Don't want to drive their only daughter around just cuz patrol very expensive nowadays.
Ah well~ Not that i care so much. I've lived with surviving on my own all my life~

Anyway yes, we ordered pizza for dinner xD
Our (Jiaying and me) all-time favourite - Bacon Cheeseburger!!!
And some other Salmon thing from Californian 2-for-1 pizza, lol.

Our minds weren't on the pizza actually.
Too worried about FYP at this point of time...

[note: We had to leave Yewei behind, cuz he still wasn't done with his work! Omg...]

7.30pm
Reached school and ran all the way to 3D lab.
It was damn noisy and chaotic in there, everyone rushing for submission and transfering their stuff out to DV tape.
It sounds easy, but judging by the fact that we have no clue about this whole DV tape thing, it was a struggle when problems occured and lecturers weren't there to help since it was so late already.
Like our lecturers would even care to stay til late for us T_T

Anyway a string of problems started~
There were only 2 computers in the 2D lab with DVD burners, and one of them had no mouse.
Ahahaa~!!
I desperately pulled out a mouse from another computer but it still didn't work.
Gave up.
Tried using the other remaining comp but the Nero burner software didn't work....for some reason.
Gave up.
Jiaying and I ran over to the "grand" HD room screaming for help xD
Finally found Qamariah and Zhifa - our lifesavers!!!
They let us use their laptops to burn our DVDs.
Phew, finally one problem solved.

Now the chaos in 3D lab was still continuing.
Andrea and Penny had problems with the firewire for the camera...somehow it couldn't connect.
Either the connection wasn't stable or...something wrong with the camera o_O
The day before Alan heard our cries of agony (haha) about all the firewires in this school being SPOILT.
So apparently he went to the equipment store and demanded them to buy new fires.
THANK YOU, man!
Geez, so late minute nonetheless...
I still can't believe the guy at the equipment store can still say all the cameras are spoilt @_@

He was like, "Oh yeah, all the firewire ports not working ah"
I went "huh?! Then we borrow the camera for what?"
Equipment guy: "I thought you want to shoot?"
Me: "No! We need to transfer our stuff to the mini-DV tape so we need the firewire port to be working"
Equipment guy: "Orrrh...but all these cameras very old already leh. All not working. How?"
Me: (thinking) "WTF!!"
Equipment guy: "You ask the video people to show you how to use HD camera lah"
Me: "Do you have another DV cam then? Video students have to do their work too"
Equipment guy: "Wait ah, i check"......"Ok lah, you use this one. *shows me the ports*"
Me: "Ok thanks!"

And then....we realised to our horror after borrowing the camera...
THE CAMERA HAD NO BATTERY~!!!!
LMAO!!!
I even told the guy to check for battery charger and firewire and in the end, no battery T_T
The entire thing was gone from the socket.

Anywaaaaaay. To cut the already long story short, almost everyone used Terrence's camera and firewire to transfer their FYP.
LOL.
There were heaps more problems of course, like audio not synching with animation, Penny's animation came out severely squashed....xD
Haix.
Totally give up lah. We all had it with this school and our FYPs are not gonna be used to show how good this place is. After all that hard work we put in for 4 months, this fantastic piece of work is never the school's ^^

10pm
Took a taxi home~
The taxi driver kept laughing at the 4 of us crazy girls.
I think we were all high xD
Everything that we spoke was gibberish, our hair was in a huge mess, our eyebags were dark and massive...

The taxi uncle was like, "So turn left or turn right?"
And Jiaying said "Oh, go straight"
xDD

10.30pm
Finally ate our cold pizza xD
Well the story from here goes on all the way til 8.30am cuz we were helping Ye wei throughout the whole night/wee hours of the morning....
Here, some pics~

The Dolphin is Penny's and the retarded Oscar is mine.
But Jiaying insists he's a little green boy...in a *ahem!*
The dog is Jiaying's favourite toy...and it loves to hump @_@

MY FYP SUBMISSION PACKAGE~!!! =D
At long long last!! ALL DONE!
That documentation booklet of mine is so bloody thick, i needed a Ring Bind instead of Wire Bind =/
Ah, i hope that's a good thing...

All our 4 FYP packages!!
Yewei's package still didn't have anything inside yet...
At least i did the cover for him ^^

Ah well, we finally submitted and everything's over at long last *faint*
I dunno what to feel, man.
The 3 of us girls were talking about it over cold pizza that night. While Yewei was upstairs doing his work...
Some part of us feel happy, of course, and relieved that this whole ordeal is over.
But yet we still feel sad, for Yewei...didn't expect this to happen to him =(
He's not like a lazy student at all.
Another part of us is just frustrated. At the school, at everything.
At lecturers not having enough time for us, at the school for adding in so much nonsense during our FYP period that ate into our precious time & the worse thing is that Moses still thinks it's beneficial to the students...
At the way this FYP is run...it sounded really nice and good at the start, with weekly consultations etc etc...In actual fact ppl were coming for consultations just for the sake of it and worse, lecturers did not have time for us.
I dunno, Alan Rudge seemed to be stressed and pressured by the school, although he doesn't show it. We students can tell...

Oh well.
Just one more presentation next Tues...
And now, i shall rest.

Happy Cha-knees-noo-yeah, people~!!
Now then new year for the chinese, so damn late. xD ahaha~
Anyway AGAIN, another festive season is interrupted due to FYP T_T
teh horridness~!!
at least i visited my relatives from both sides, but still...no other visits.

Ria, Ave, Sam and Swing wanted to have an all-girls-day-out visitation to all our 5 homes, BUT...!!
I'm gonna have to reject this!!! DDD:
sadness!! =(
Reason being it's just ONE WEEK left to fyp submission and i'm using every precious time now to hurry up and get things done.
I caaaaaaaaan't wait til this crap is over~!

Speaking of it, alan hasn't even sent the documentation list.
Said he was gonna post it up on ole-bb. Uhh...
Well apparently we found out last week that Alan celebrates Chinese New year xD
No kiddin'
Ah well guess we've to make a trip down to Peace Centre next week to print and bind everrrrrything...and hopefully by then I would have finalised all i need to do for fyp...
Then it'll be a stayover (hopefully) at jiaying's house on the night of 14 Feb! Woohoo!
NOT celebration, yo.
more like cuz we know we can't wake up in time for submission at 11am LOL...
and well, better to be nervous with someone than emo-ing at home. Adds psychological damage to my already damaged brain cells o_O

Lookie. A scene from every other chinese new year, haha.

Everyone gathered around the glorious TV and watch really stupid shows.
I mean it!!! Every CNY the shows are damn retarded & spoofy~
Anyway the above pic was in my new living room desu~! =D
Not properly furnished yet tho'...

Ohyeah.
Here're the photos from our impromptu McCafe expedition~~
Penny, Jiaying and i went for some NTU talk at Suntec City on 2 Feb (last sat) to find out more about the courses and stuff in the Arts Design Media school.
I'll talk about it later.
Enjoy these glorious moments~

We ordered this $1.55 thing called "Fluffy" xD
Not bad...it's milk with chocolate and...one marshmallow lol

Ooh jiaying bought a Gundam toy~!
This one's Dynames...i think. The gundam for the sexy Lockon~
woohoo~somehow the "guyishness" in us came out & i found myself fixing him up instantly! penny was like "you two are so boyish"
Lawl~ Btw that white thing you see behind his left leg is NOT a marshmallow xD

Shoot teh marshmallow!!!

Guessed who drank 3 cups of Fluffy

Aww the gundam toy is so cuuuuuute ^^
Ok about the NTU talk...some German guy was doing the presentation.
Hmm. Powerpoint slides, plus that kinda "enthusiasm"...he does sound a bit like Moses. hahaa
The stuff he said were very general, and things like "our curriculum is such that it incorporates integrated-learning system" I've heard this before.
o_O
In the end, NTU is very much like TP, just 4 years instead of 3 @_@
We met Abby, Jiayi and Joel after the talk too - they weren't impressed.
ahaa, to me it feels as though going to NTU is repeating our 3 years here in TDS (temasek design school). I mean, they have subjects like 3D Fundamentals, wtf!!
And the german guy assures us that we'll get to learn the fundamental basics, concepts, learn shape & form....

Now we all know that a class like this, what with placing it in Year One, will be a waste of time because of 'hidden factors' like lecturers too busy to help students individually, or worse - the subject really doesn't teach anything substantial at all.
We've all been through this & thankfully enough we could see that what that guy was talking about was very general and superficial.
To a new crowd it's obviously interesting and like, "wow integrated-learning is so cool".
In actual fact it's basically doing subjects that are not related to your course in an effort to learn "something else". xD

Plus, it's not exactly very fun and free to explore options (like they always put it), because in the end when it comes to choosing your electives, there will be no more slot etc etc - then you'll have to settle for second best.
And second best wastes your time cuz you don't like it.
*LMAO*
Trust me, kiddies. THIS is the real situation behind all the glory that is talked about. ^^

Awritey.

(STOP! Read the post below first if u haven't! It's a long update on my house moving & stuff~)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~!!
My bedroom set finally arrived. FINALLY!!
Everything's falling into place slowly...steadily...
After 10 days sleeping in an empty room, bathing in ice cold water (i didn't mind, somehow. Just kept reminding myself i'm not in thailand, lol), digging clothes out from a box, NOT doing my fyp...xD
What else...oh, and surviving on cup noodles for lunch~
Ooh ima survivor!! ^^

Well the heater for all the toilets finally arrived, then my CURTAINS, then my glorious BEDROOM SET & my maid's wardrobe at the same time...
And my dad went to ntuc and almost bought the entire shop xD
Like stocking up for war - 5 packs of instant noodles, biscuits, crackers, a whole pack (the long long kind with 30 packets) of Ice Lemon Tea, etc etc etc~
Now the fridge is full. And i'm happie~!

And now that my bedroom set is here at long last, i can...unpack my lightbox...
and stare at it ahaha~!!
Just unpacked it a couple minutes ago and tested the wires and stuff.
Everything works, i'm uber delighted.
Even my internet's working too. It'd been waving on and off for the past week, thank God my bro's an expert at fixing stuff lol...
It's good to have someone around who knows how to smash stuff in style xD
He tears apart computers, TVs, rips out all the wires to shreds...haha...he gets things done! and that's what rocks. Just a few hours ago he helped me smash my old bed.
Ahh, i'm talking about the older bro, btw. NOT the young one.
not the irritating useless boy. T_T

Anyways next post i'll post lotsa photos so watch out for it!
woohoo~ just got photos from Penny from our stupid impromptu "Suntec City outing".
Now awaiting June to send me the Sushi Tei photos!
Darn, i wish FYP will end now. No one's in the mood to do anymore work after working so hard for the past 3 months.
It's like the fire has died down, ha.

Ohyeah. BIG thanks to Kyra for sending me a whole ton of Tokio Hotel songs! hoho~

Whoaaa…! I haven’t had internet access for like, a week!
Lol…
In a way it’s good, cuz then I can focus on FYP…I dunno. No internet, no distractions…and according to jiaying – no porn.
Hahaha~!!
NO I refuse to read porn, I think it’s damn retarded xD
Ha, don’t get it wrong, no way are we looking at gross videos or anything. Think Okane Ga Nai, or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and you’ll get it. *lmao*

BY THE WAY.
I’ve moved house!!! (for those of you who don’t know)
So much has happened the past week since we moved last Friday – 26 Jan! =))
I could do a quick run-through of what happened.
I’d been sooooo damn busy, yo!
What with cleaning windows and mopping floors a thousand times…and unclogging toiletbowls T_T

Friday 26 Jan
Moving day! My mom went over to the new house first with my dad at 9am, to clean the house I guess. She brought a bag of stuff toys over for goodness knows what reason too.
(oh yeah guess what! Altogether we gathered 4 bags of stuff toys! Ahaha!)
The rest of us stayed home and did last minute packing… throwing in all the toilet stuff and realizing my little bro hasn’t been brushing his teeth for ages o_O
I was yelling from the toilet “where’s your toothbrush – pack it in!!” and he screamed back “I dunno!”
I was like, “what do you mean you don’t know?!” and he frankly said “What toothbrush?! Lost one month ago lah!”
HAHAHAHA~!!!
One month indeed… @_@

Oh yeah, my brother (older) packed his alarm clock into the box, sealed and secured… and it started ringing xDD LOL!!
Other retarded stuff I realized were that my grandma had more than 10 boxes to herself (gee, old people really like to keep a lot of junk), my little brother threw 7 pairs of underwear to wash at one go o_O, aaaaand… I finally found my Final Fantasy XII posters buried below the cupboard RAWRRRR!!
They’d been lost for a few months now, and I suspected that they fell to the back of the cupboard, y’know… and I was right T_T

Some photos showing the amount of boxes that piled my old house~~

Byebye, Tweety jigsaw that's all bleached by the sun...=(

Old bedroom...and my grandma's boxes everywhere~

Byebye, westlife poster xD

Candy wanted to join in the fun too~! ^^

Ooh, we engaged the guys from “The Helping Hand” once again to help us move house.
Haa…there were 6 hunky guys, lalala~ xD
Ok maybe 2 of them were like, old uncles but anyways I realized they all had tattoos all over. Lawl.
I dunno, throughout the moving in and out, they all seemed to find endless entertainment in Candy, haha.
Just imagine 6 muscular guys, after carrying cupboards etc and sweating all over, suddenly passing my dog’s cage and going “woo woo!!” and sticking out their tongues…xD Haha! What a sight.
They did that everytime they walked pass, lol

Saturday & Sunday 27/28 Jan
It was then that we realized a whole pile of unforeseen crap in this new house!
Well obviously the old owners didn’t tell us a lot of things…duh.
But this was a little too much. Briefly put, these are just some of the problems encountered when we moved in:

1)water leakage
2)clogged drains
3)floor varnish started cracking
4)heater pipes exploded when heater is turned on for more than 10mins
5)aircon leakage
6)door stoppers spoilt
7)Grandma’s bed crashed xD
8)Backyard gate couldn’t close (ahahaaa…)
9)Front gate jammed and not oiled
10)Too high water pressure in grandma’s toilet (water burst out on her face while washing)

On top of all these, well… I have the loveliest room on earth~
LOOK.

Ahaha behold the emptiness~!!
Yes, i've been living in here for a week, without tables chairs wardrobe or CURTAINS o_O

And erm, poor Candy had constipation over the weekend. She kept trying to poo but nothing came out, and she was making that awkward face =(
I know she was trying to smile, but there was so much shit in her little butt she kept dragging her butt on the newspaper like a paintbrush o_O
Finally I took her to the washing area and splashed water, with all the glorious shit flowing out~
And THEN, I realized to my horror… the hole was clogged!!! DDD:
Bloody choked!! SO, the shit cannot go down!
Ahaa… I couldn’t even step into the washing area anymore cuz there was shit everywhere and I eventually found myself standing in an awkward position holding a little dog who’s now smiling cuz her ass is clean T_T
Oh well.

Monday 28 Jan
My bro’s wardrobe finally came, along with the electrician, the gas man, and so on. People are coming into the house simultaneously~
And I have to wake up damn early everyday. Ugh…

Tuesday 29 Jan
8.40am Ah Liang came to do roof patching. Apparently the roofs were ALL leaking, heh

12.45pm plumber man came to unclog drains from kitchen pipes to backyard washing area. Lol, this dude was real cute. I mean!! Not cute as in good-looking o_O. Cute as in, he reminds me of some friendly dad who loves giving ponies to his kids or something. Ok just an example. Stop rolling your eyes.

2.00pm bed fixing people came to fix my grandma’s bed. Remember I mentioned that my grandma’s new bed crashed? Haha…

2.15pm Ah Liang came back to see how the roof was doing, but unfortunately due to RAIN (ughhh) he has to come back again tomorrow. Bwerrh!

2.30pm Started anti-virus software on my comp. WTH! Dunno what happened to my photoshop – I’m pissed!

3.00pm Door stopper man came to fix all bedroom stoppers

4.00pm Backyard gate man came to fix backyard gate… the one that cannot close, wth.

Ah well, that’s about the number of the “visitors” in one day. I myself have been washing the damn toilet and helplessly fumbling around the toiletbowl. No time to do FYP these days sia… Die.

Wednesday 30 Jan
Only Ah Liang was scheduled to come today to do the roof again…
All was peace and calm and serene~~
I had some time to figure out how to use SCV, haha… *N00b alert!*
Woo~ Now I’ve MTV channel, StarChannel, HBO, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, StarMovies, Animax, almost everything! (erm, including golf and horse-racing too)
So happieeee~

Finally did a bit of FYP work… but too tired and unmotivated.
Anyway I’m looking forward to tomorrow! Not cuz I’ve consultations with Amanda in school, but cuz after that, Jiaying and I are invited to a dinner date!! Hohoho~!! xD
It’s with June, Sansan, Ian and Iswan. We’re going Sushi Tei @Paragon!!! =D

Thursday 31 Jan
Yay today I finally managed to walk to the bus stop without getting lost. Lol…
And I met Andrea!! Woohoo! Now we can finally take the same bus to school, only pity that we’re gonna graduate in like, a few days’ time AHAHA~
But I can walk to her house now, yays.

Dinner!! *lol*
In the end we decided not to go Paragon, cuz it’s such a posh place and peeps like us don’t seem to belong… *looks around*
We ended up at Ngee Ann City/Takashimaya, still Sushi Tei at least.
Oh yaaaarrrrrr… Ian is stoooooopid!! *whips out knife*
Ian didn’t come…!! DD:
Dammit. Jiaying and I really missed him!! Nvm, next time HE better treat us. Ha!
And oh wells, last minute Iswan couldn’t come too cuz he had some stupid briefing with Darren. So, this date turned out to be the 4 of us girls~ lalala
It was still fun anyway, so long never see June and Sansan already…

(Still awaiting photos from June! =D)

The night was still young, and although Sansan had to go home early, Jiaying and I stayed in town savouring this moment before our FYP dateline hits us =(
We went to our favourite haunt – Kinokuniya!!
Wanted to check out if the Trinity Blood novel Vol 2 was out…(oh well sadly it wasn’t) and also the price of the Saiyuki Artbook! ^^
Ahh, that gorgeous gorgeous book…
Jiaying collects artbooks, and I thought that’s pretty swell =D
I mean, it’s quite an expensive hobby but it’s super unique and interesting. Artbooks, man! Not like the silly phone cards and bus tickets that I used to collect when I was a dumb kid. xD
She recently bought a stunning Final Fantasy CLOUD artbook… worth $50 but it’s a worthy investment~
Anyway I’m definitely gonna get my hands on the Saiyuki volumes slowly one by one after FYP! Whee~!

Ah, went to Heeren too but all the shops were like, closing. Boo.
Decided to stop by HMV…
I was looking for RSP’s album but couldn’t find, hmmm.
Well thinking back, when I was in sec school and had no clue about Japanese artists…and now I can recognize almost every artist on the rack… lol I think I’ve changed a lot =))
Ooh, jiaying finally bought L’arc En Ciel’s KISS album!
I asked the counter if they had Tokio Hotel’s album and guess what – it’s NOT SOLD IN SINGAPORE!!! *horrors*

Holy shit… Tokio Hotel is not sold here in this country at all.
Geeeeez…
So they’re not really popular in Asia, I guess.
Too bad for them, hmph. =(
They totally forgot about the asian market, boo.

Ok that’s it for now. What a long journal!
I pray things will get settled soon enough…and FYP will be over in the best way…

2008-01-23T15:42:00.000+08:00

Erm.
This is really hard to say but...I just hate it when people don't understand what i'm going through. Not like I expect them to, though. People will definitely not understand.
And many a times that sucks, because through their not understanding, conclusions are derived & most of the time not to my liking or beneficial in any way.
An example, there're so many things going on and i'm not able to attend/participate because I HAVE FYP.
I.have.FYP.

Those 3 words of impending doom will lead to the question "why? FYP very busy meh?"
T______T
Or worse, "is FYP that important?"
What the fish.
To 99% of the world who's doing FYPs, it's easy for them.
Riaa only has to do a magazine and weekly TV reports for FYP, which, even if i thought was supposed to take up alot of her time, didn't seem to require as much effort as this shit i'm going thru.
Nothing against other people's FYP or anything, it's just that everything isn't fair.
OK i know life isn't fair, etc etc...
I even got rid of the mindset that FYP is important at all, because after all life is not about FYP, life isn't about careers, those are all material things which no one really gives a damn about - each person his own life.
Question is, should i really try so hard and be uber successful, or enjoy life as it has to offer?

I know jiaying has always been supporting my work and pushing me on, but if no one else thinks that way, who should i then listen to?
A clear example is that she thinks i'll get an A for FYP.
But on the contrary, all the lecturers don't seem to think so.
The things they said during interim, things said during consultations, their every action... sends this FYP of mine down into the forgotten gutters~
She's very career-minded, which is good because if you don't start thinking about what you're gonna do after u graduate then you're going nowhere.
But still, it's easier for her to say than me. She's got talent that is RECOGNISED, i basically have nothing worthy of praise and true as i've noticed, even if i do want to go to the same school or company as her in future, harsh reality tells it that she will get the job, i won't.
It's like as long as i'm with her there's competition and impending doom for me.
I'm like in the worst position, always subconsciously being pitted against my best friend in school...

In the past i used to be a real avid student, teachers and friends all going "waaah" at my artwork and stuff.
Even my whole cell now thinks i'm talented.
But then in school, it's a whole different thing. I'm nothing but a small fry here, i'm not even good!
It's like as long as there's someone whom everyone thinks is perfect, all other students can just give up trying cuz we'll never reach that standard.
Whatever standard that's being set by the "top student".
I know I am not her, so definitely i can be her. that's what she said, which is true.
Yet if i can't be her, then in the eyes of TDS lecturers i'll always be a grade lower. I'll never be "good".
It's the sad truth, yo~

Anyway i sent an email to my cell updating about this pathetic life of mine, the reason why i'm not going for cell etc...
And that how i'm going through a rough patch now.
"Stuck in a rut" kind of crap.
Oli replied and i think i almost cried, lol.
She said,
"hey jo! :)

just wanted to say..i'll be praying for you! :)
remember that in all things, God has a purpose! Even the most horrible of experiences..
i know it may be hard for me or anybody to understand, but it's always comforting to know that there's a heavenly Father who understands EVERYTHING!
even when the closest of friends don't get it..
that was how i felt after getting my a level results and didn't feel to good..
so JIA YOU!

I'm so encouraged by her reply :'D
I can never cry that easily unlike some people who bawl their eyes out at a silly movie, haha.
Guess the only times i've ever cried had to do with my LIFE.
Ahaa~I'm sucha loser.
The only time when i came close to crying at something not regarding my life, was during the movie Armageddon. LOL!!!
Damn sad that Bruce Willis gave up his life for his daughter & her boyfriend & the world~
ahaha...i almost cried. xD
I know like, half the world cried at TITANIC. But i thought that movie was stupid!
Leonardo di Caprio is so cheesy-looking.
And stupid to let Rose have space on the plank of wood, thinking she'll survive amidst a sea of floating dead people.... and then hours later he just dropped into the depths of the sea like a piece of shit falling into the toiletbowl.
So scary lah, he didn't even close his eyes.
As though he died instantly or refused to die with eyes closed.
@.@

Anyway. I hope things will drastically change in these 3 weeks.
My only wish for now.

When was the last time you felt horribly down...
And just a certain song cheered you up and lifted your spirits.
I think RSP did just that for me =)

感謝 (kansha) - RSP

It's the ending theme for the latest Bleach anime, btw.
Damn heart-warming...that little boy especially (in the video).
I know i'm most probably incorrect but i guess he wrote a whole page of thanks to his older sister and brother (and probably family)...saying they mean the world to him or his world would be different without them etc..

Anyway Steph sent me an encouraging sms:
"He carried the weight of the world upon his shoulders, I know my sister that he will carry you through."
I wanna believe i'm not alone...
Prove me right.

Hohoho~As much vitamin as 6, and 48 bananas! (???)
Hohoho~As much calcium as 55 tons of milk (?!)
Hohoho~As much iron as 3 kilograms faaaaaaat~!

LOL 2nd most annoying advertisement that's stuck in my head since "true colours"
It always has to do with kids T_T
Btw, all lyrics above are technically, morally, politically incorrect.
It's just what i heard~ xD

Ok maybe i'm slightly happier today cuz my lil bro took an overdose of medicine and knocked out. Heh!
Peace reigns once more in the house...
And anyway i'm glad to have used these 3 days at home working soooo hard on my FYP.
Gawd, i can't even stand straight! x_X
Ah but there's still alot more to do for FYP and i dunno how i'm gonna finish it. Haix...
Here're some WIPs...it's good to take screenshots.
For happiness' sake~

Started my ending scene today...
And yes, starting painting the sky AGAIN for the 100th time.

Oh glorious sky~ It's starting to look weird with all those brush strokes...this sky is less nice than the one i did for the Upshot of Trees scene, although i used the same colours

Scrap cars.

And now the toy pile~

Oh, i changed my kiwi toy colour to purplish-maroonish-purple maroon o_O
whatever.
Figured bluish-green (original colour) will get me into unforeseen trouble.

And now it's time to sing~

Sorry, no pictures today.
Just a very emo post from me...

Not like it's about FYP again, although that one in itself is already sucking up my whole life right now.
It's about...humans T_T
(damn i sound like an alien)
I think there's just something very wrong with all our thinking, each person thinking himself right & making conclusions/accusations/theories/philosophies...

If i take FYP for example, just like jiaying says the lecturers are making things hard for themselves.
And for the students.
An animation so simple and straight-forward, understood by any idiot, is torn apart and criticised. It's not as though I can't take criticism etc., it's the very fact that some criticism is not worthwhile or helpful in any way.
You can say I can choose not to listen to it, but then again, think who's marking our work?
It came to a point when I really didn't bother about my grades for FYP or whatever GPA shit anymore. Y'know, that shouldn't be what poly life is about.
It shouldn't really be what LIFE is about!
Grades...

I really didn't like it when, like i said, people think through a narrow mind.
Maybe they just don't know at that point of time, maybe no one told them.
But still, what they do through thinking with this narrow mind should be thought out carefully.
For instance, the clearest example is when ppl want my attention in the midst of FYP now.
I gotta go for cell, for PACE...and on top of that i'm being asked to go for the upcoming IGNITE conference and PEP and YFC and now my family wants my attention in packing for the new house!
Even my dog wants attention =(
And if you tell me "cell is only on saturdays what", someone else will tell me "PEP is only on wednesdays", and someone else will tell me "IGNITE is only a one time thing"...
Now tell me if i've time for FYP! *wtf*
I gotta prioritise, and that's what alot of people don't know.
They think i've nothing else & i'm doing FYP all the time. Which is true, but i've also got this whole house moving thing going on & helping my family is more important.
My grandma is like, unable to squat and bend & if she comes flying down the stairs one day, who's gonna take her to hospital!!
And my mom has high blood pressure, my dad has stupid work which i can tell is really bad (the situation in his company), and my little brother DOESN'T CARE.
He's an asshole.
I dare say this cuz i've been putting up with this nonsense for a really long time now. I'm like the most tolerant idiot in this whole family, always being the Peacemaker and cracking jokes to cheer everyone up.
Deep inside i hate all the shit that's going on, yo.
My damn brother's getting worse and worse every day.
Recently he learnt from his friends in school how to say "F***" and has been using it T_T

Talk about a nice peaceful home!
I abhor Singaporean kids. Especially those who come from local neighbourhood schools and speak like crap, AND even those who come from elite schools who think they're the best. I actually hate the latter more.
Not being racist but I seriously think we should learn a lesson or two from overseas kids who are so much more mature than the crapload we have here.

2008 was a really bad start for me, but at least i know it'll turn out to be a great year.
At least i choose to believe it will be.

oh mannn...it's like, 3am and i'm still awake!
Can't sleep =(
I had like, 3 consultations in one day today and one more with alan yesterday. Craziness! *lol*
Haix. Enough of FYP.
It's really going down the drain every minute.
I think i'm just gonna push on til the end and don't worry so much about results ANYMORE! hmph~
i've already decided animation is not my passion...
But it's good, that being in TDS helped me decide ^^
I mean, that's one damn good thing about my learning journey here, that i can properly understand what it means & what it takes to be an animator...
And that really, animation is not for everyone!
well i can safely LOL at those who think animation is fun and incredible etc...xD
And, the "you only need passion" kind of mindset. Heeeee...

Anyway. I got the photos from Swing finally~!!! =D
YAY.
Get ready for a spree of photos from the Christmas party on 29th Dec!
Here goes~

We went to Chris' bee-you-tee-fool house that has 2 stories and a LIFT connecting both stories HAHAHA (hey, i'm not lying!)

Nice urn thing...

The beautiful fish tank that's so big and central, there isn't a single soul that bypasses it without going "Ooh! I see a fish!"

OKAY LEMME TELL YA.
That night, there was a total of 29 people (i repeat, 29 people!!!) including new friends. It's INCREDIBLE, man.
And guess what - we only prepared dishes for 20 people!
AHAHAHA ^^
Swing and I were in charge of satay sticks, and we only bought 50 thinking there was only gonna be 20 people or less.
SO...i guess everyone had one miserable satay stick & about 20 lucky bastards got 2 sticks. *lmao maths*
anyway thank God there was enough food =) Gooooood fooooood!

Ria said that chocolate cake *point* was for sinners. Haha!

Ria. Ave. Yanhui (ave's friend). Meiling. Swing. Me.

Singaporeans are damn rojak. Our christmas dinner consisted of satay sticks, rojak, chicken wings, mash potatoes, salad, ketupat, shepherd's pie, chocolate cake, jelly, seaweed chicken, TIRAMISU cake, cocktail fruits, pasta, Italian bread, chicken CURRY...xD
NO turkey, lmao~

And then we had games! =DD

The hamburger game...
(I lost, dammit! I only needed one more lettuce! RAH!)

the dunno-wad game (that all the army guys loved playing for some reason)...

Reversi...haha, isn't this like, for old people at the void deck xD

the CRAZY bomb game! (this one drew the most screams)

Uno stacko...

LOL, it was one night where you just scream & scream and have sore throat the next day xD
I tell ya - it's all hell breaks loose when army guys scream.
HAHA! Esp the bomb game, like i said.
I guess tossing granites around the minefield had some drastic psychological withdrawal impact o_O
I think the entire condo evacuated that night cuz we were making so much noise. ahaa~
Anyway it's photo-taking time!
(more like time when everyone's-exhausted-from-screaming-and-nothing-better-to-do)

Infantry Unit people. Lol?

Yanhui and Ave and the nice hat from Taiwan xD

OK. This is about HALF of the people that night, cuz everyone else left already.
It's almost 30 people, almost like a class outing or smth! hah...

Anyway those 29 of us were: *ahem!*
Joanne, Ave, Ria, Swing, Olivia, Yanhui, Weijie, Ian Chew, Ian Koh, Sean, Joshua, Joash, Josia, Chris, Edwin, YongBing, Luxin (chris' friend), Claire (chris' friend), Chris' other friend (lol forgot), Debby (Josia's friend), Steph, Joyce, Gerri (joanne's friend), Daniel (joanne's friend), Jun (Ave's friend), Yuwei, Keith, Meiling.
WOO~!

It's such a happy reunion, man.
With Keith coming back from Australia...and so many new faces...and ALL the MIA (Missing In Action) people turning up for the first time in history! hehs. I haven't seen Meiling for ages and ages AND...!! Yuwei came...!!!
Holy shit, i haven't seen him for a year!
And now that he's back, he's now a really high rank in OCS (I think he's the highest among all the guys)~
hah, it seems everyone's in such high ranks.
I mean, there's a Navy Warrant Officer, a sergeant, 2nd lieutenant in OCS, another lieutenant, 1 in charge of tanks (i find this quite stupid lol), 1 Medic, a Brigadier-General...
CRAZINESS.
And these guys scream over a bomb game. Haha~!

MORE PICTURES~!

phew! The End! End of christmas party photos.
There're more crazy ones, though. But my blog's gonna burst xD
Anyway just 2 more random photos of craziness.
Ria, Sam and me - My PACE buddies!!

Blur photos rock. ^^

I shall blog about my FYP progress x_X
And show you how sad I am cuz I took a thousand pictures of my dog, lol.

Ok i spent nearly 5 whole hours today painting one scene ^^
I guess it turned out well enough~
I submitted the final piece on deviantART (at long last, haha) so go see it there!
Here're some WIP screenshots~

Lalala~
My parents are constantly talking, discussing about buying stuff for the new house...plans, arrangements, packing etc etc ETC
Damn excited about moving, man.
My house looks rather sparse right now, haha.
I managed to pack 70% of my things - woohoo!!!
Ohmygoodness you should see the "treaures" i unravelled whilst packing!! xD
Be warned:
The following things are dug up/unearthed within the depths of my cupboards & i'm NOT KIDDING

1) Swimming costume xD
2) Litmus paper (wth??)
3) TEETH (ahahahaha~!!!)
4) Clay eyeballs
5) Plastic eyeballs
6) About 50 Aaron Carter posters/cut-outs @_@
7) Umbrella (that's been missing for 6 years now)
8) Goggles
9) Bus tickets (a whole stack of them!)
10) Paper skeleton
11) My first ever film camera with the film still inside! (holy shit...)
12) A letter from my primary school friend with 20cents attached asking me to "shut up" o_O
13) An emo poem that i wrote in Primary TWO about a dying fish

...and more to come as i pack the last 30% of crap left. ^^
omg, some stuff really bring back memories so retarded i just sat there laughing & procrastinating my packing cuz...i'm too busy laughing.
xDD

Ok as promised. Camwhore session with a dog that doesn't know she's being camwhored.

(she finally noticed the stupid lion!!)

hahaaa...~

oh yeah. don't ask me why the lion has no nose.
It just...fell out after my dad stuffed it in his bag T_T

lol, i just realised...ang mohs are really open.
And i mean really open xD
David's christmas sms went "merry christmas darling"
John (dA friend) said "merry christmas babes"
When will i ever get that from singaporean guys eh?
AHAHAHA~!!
ok NO. this isn't about being a spoilt brat or some paris hilton stunt.
I'm just...realising ^^

Hmm, i only know a couple, maybe a small handful of caucasians/eurasians~
Singapore's still very much cheena-populated =P
(and our national language is malay??)
Ooh anyway speaking of ang mohs, i really really miss HELENA!!!!!!
omgggggg...it's been 5 whole years already.
She's the one person that I miss so dearly all across the globe.
She also happens to be my one and only "non-white" friend, lol~

This is Helena, back in 2002 when we were cooking dinner for the family =D

I miss everything. The cozy cottage house, the endless lawns, the 40-year-old piano that was totally outta tune anyway, Helena's RABBIT, the pita bread, the LASAGNA, the thick slices of ham every morning, the non-fiery electric pan ahaha (look above), the extremely long walk to the beach with tall grass on both sides & strong winds, the boat ride, the Knuthenborg zoo with animals walking freely, the chocolates in little Maribo town, the small churches in the middle of nowhere, the seriously neat CEMETERY surrounding the church (it's a beautiful sight, trust me), the sun setting only at 11pm.....

I miss Helena, I miss Brian, I miss their parents..
I miss Paul, I miss baby Hasmus...
Of course, i also miss Gitte and Stine, Helena's friends.
(and Gitte's handsome brother hahaa)

I miss THIS FAMILY.

That's Brian, the little boy who loves trucks & has them all over the house ^^
I bet all that is probably gone, though. Brian's 15 years old now~!
High school kid, yo~
haha xD

oh wells...my dad's friend sent him this extremely delicious cakeeeee for christmas!! :DD
Look, look!

It's from Bakerzin...expensive, yo~!

Time to cut! Chop! CHOP!! Bleeeeeeeeeed, my lil cake~! *mwahahahaha*

it's just a cake. fear not, kiddies~
