... In its silence, we forget. In its obsession, it binds our hearts. Counter that!
Not much to blog about. Not much time to blog either.
I feel like making sea-salt ice cream in the holidays after PMR. Come to Sharon's house! After we finish preparing the popsicles, we can watch a movie while waiting for it to freeze. Now we just have to find sea salt, heavy whipped cream and a popsicle mould. According to Recipezaar where the original fan-made recipe of the sea-salt ice cream is submitted, rock salt is the ideal salt for ice cream, but we will see to that. We also need blue food coloring! Around 13 drips are enough, to get the exact color as the ice cream in the game.
Talking about ice cream, Dawnce gave me her Tropicana today. I liked the vanilla filling.
I have a zipper fetish. And belt fetish too. That's why Tetsuya Nomura is my favorite chracter designer ever. Isaiah hates them though. Too many belts and zippers.
Look at Donald's zippers. It may not seem all that clear in this picture, but there's at least 4, and probably six just from this viewpoint. His beret includes a miniscule belt - no kidding!
DiZ is belt-man. His head is fully enveloped in red fabric, held together by at least two belts. Isn't it hard to see around with the hanging end whipping around as he moves?
OMG, I'm back to KH fandom! I don't like school KH though. Me loveth Kingdom Hearts. My favorite character is Donald (did you know that his Japanese name is Donarudo Dakku? You ignore the u's and the 'o' and you get Donard Dakk) while my cast of Organization XIII faves include Roxas (duh, staple favorite of everyone), Demyx (Dance water DANCE!), Xigbar (AS IF), Luxord and Larxene.
Did you know that every KH player I've met in real life so far had all lost to Xaldin during the battle in Beast's Castle? We were all forced to use Mickey Mouse since Sora lost. Isaiah's Mickey got pwned. My Mickey owned Xaldin though. I think Mickey Mouse deserves a better costume than this:
... Even if he is working undercover. It's too dark for Mickey's cheerful disposition. And the fact that the Black Cloak looks horrible on short people.
RIP, Wayne Allwine, voice actor for Mickey Mouse since Walt Disney's time. Now Mickey is getting a new voice actor (Bret Iwan, IIRC), so expect at least minor differences in the voice.
Now, to close this post, a quote from King Mickey!
"Helping others comes before asking others for help."
School ... school ... ugh, don't even remind me of school. It's so ... HOT! The school is so freaking hot, anyone who even tries making steamy hot love will spontaneously combust from the friction-generated extra heat. It isn't helping when you have classmates who find this tropical hell COLD.
I went to Mr Jeff's extra class. It was alright. Then the lights went off. Then the titular sentence came in. Then some busybodies pulled open the curtains, burning me. Vampires don't glitter in sunlight! Beware the mistruth that is Twilight! And I do bite! Lol, these sentences rhymed just right!
Like I said before, I'm playing Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. It's so addictive, I am now addicted to what the main character himself is addicted to. I wanna eat sea-salt ice cream! SEA-SALT ICE CREAM! I like the taste of sea-salt. Salty, yet pretty sweet. There's a dessert at Asian Recipe that tastes just like that. The Red Ruby. I've just found a DIY guide on YouTube on making sea-salt popsicles, and I really want to get the ingredients. The whole recipe includes sea-salt (where the hell do I find that!?) and materials like popsicle mould. Hrm. Repeat: I wanna eat sea-salt ice cream.
I am wondering if I should debut into the writing world with a horror-comedy. Would that give people the impression of a half-assed, childish kid writer? Or should I stall my idea until later? I would like comments on this! I already feel in love with the characters. There's Rayford Darrington, a businessman with OCD, and I even already came up with a line for him, "You can use my stuff, but please don't touch them." I think I will definitely love moments featuring Missia Hawthorn, the delusional heroine I chalked up. She played too many video games and she read too many fantasy books, hence her seeing the world in a Final Fantasy-esque way. She's kinda robotic too. Ah, and Isaiah just disillusioned me to something. If I want to write, I still have to raise capital. For publication costs. Wth. Never thought of that. At all. I thought publishers will just get 30% of your books' sales, but publish them for free first. Damn ... it seems like even writers won't be free of debts.
I wanna have a house with a balcony that faces west so I can eat sea-salt ice cream while watching the sun set everyday.
I hate my father, I hate Bau people. I wish they burn in hell and never reincarnate. When my father's on his deathbed, I will curse him a tonne of curses and pray that he will never arise from the clutches of his hellish tormentors. He's a tyrant, a monster, so I might as well use him as a tool - I won't be grateful for him bringing me up. It's kinda traumatic anyways, why should I cherish it? Bau people, oh, they're a bunch of sleazy no-gooders who all have mastered the art of backstabbing, gossiping and cheating. Maybe aside from my small clique, there's nothing else remarkable about the isolated Bau commoners. They're horrendous idiots, bastards - especially the men. They're all fairly stupid. And useless. And disloyal. And just have the foulest of potty mouths. Not to mention that they ALWAYS butcher my dreams of being a writer. Hey, um, hello, none of your business, move along, I don't wanna do some dull job of running a run-down sudnry store and living away the rest of my life in dingy Bau with no great dreams of the future. And stop pestering me to be a doctor or an engineer - jobs that just force me to dam up my creative juices. If I'd be sitting in an office in the distant future, at most it will be in the advertising field. Still, I won't be all that keen about it. Wasting my time mulling over the useless Bau folk is just going to shorten my lifespan with the stress and all. Geez. It's not easy when there are adults who laugh for no good reason and swear for the equally non-existent reason, calling people dogs et cetera.
If the government actually cares, please start moving on to developing places like Bau so that the uncivilised monkeys will finally develop brains.
I do not feel anything bad about dissing them, I am officially born in Kuching, I am closer to my Indonesian relatives, and I have a fanatical love for Japan. I feel no kinship with the unreasonable, foul, insensitive townspeople whom I've seen for over many years.
Finally done with homework. Hmm hmm hmm. There's still tuition work to do - but not very important.
First. And foremost.
They are making a movie about FACEBOOK. Seriously. No kidding! It will even have Justin Timberlake as the founder of Facebook. As a guy-who-had-daydreams-of-being-an-attorney, here's the decisive evidence! ... I'm dead serious, so check out the link. The credibility of this astounding piece of news item aside ... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! They are really going to make a movie revolving around FACEBOOK!? How phenomenal is that? No one even bothered making a movie about the glorious me - the Sparkling Warrior of Justice, Love and Friendship! ... I realize that I do shift my title around, but bear with me. I wonder if Facebook's users will all watch it. It scares me to even think about it. Especially since even MBO in Kuching here isn't all that big. This is definitely crazy. Crazy sheet. Even Dawn was flabbergasted. I've started to call her Dawnce. I doubt I will watch it. But I may just watch it. Just to see how Facebook came to be so phenomenal, being just a social networking site. It's not the first anyways. Who knows, they might even have a movie about Twitter soon. It frightens me just thinking about it.
I recently got a very nice new inspiration. I'm thinking of writing a horror-comedy. But I've never came across a horror-comedy book before, so I may just make it big! That said, I never put any effort into my writing. Even during the year-end holidays, I think I will be gaming instead. Sigh ... if only I can start - that's more than enough. Once I start writing, it's hard to stop. But the problem is getting me to start. I'm too lazy. I need the extra push, if anything. As of now, I have 3 ideas waiting to be made into written form. 3 ideas that I think can make it big. Just these 3. For my latest one though, I intend to make one of my main characters a drag queen. His name will be Zsa Zsa LaHore. Problem is, I've never met an English-speaking drag queen before in my whole life, so I do not know how he would act. If anyone has contacts with an English-speaking drag queen, can you get me an interview? It will be as research material.
I think Wei Huang can get me an editor, given his mom's status, but I really at least must get a manuscript done! My capitalist hormones are raging! Me needeth teh moneyz! For lots of stuff. There's so much to think of. Video game consoles. Travel tickets. Japanese tuition fees. Overseas college/university fees. Writing school fees. Future wedding savings. French food. There is so much I can do with MONEY! Oh, btw, I will never ever eat escargots, as much as I'd like to try the French's haute cuisine. I hate, hate, hate gastropods. I hate anything with hydrostatic skeletons. I don't even have to see them. I can just visualize caterpillars or snails and I'd get all messed up. If anyone has any idea of whatever publishing company in Kuching that offers payment for writing that isn't book-length, I'm up for it! I doubt I will be studying for PMR much anyways. I'm still playing doctor in Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 and collecting hearts in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Let's just face it: We have nothing, NOTHING whatsoever to lose. Uh, maybe besides the pride of the prideful ones. I just came back from PBK though, and the results I got for the second mock papers were indeed quite reassuring - 80 and 83 for Papers 1 and 2 respectively. Phew, now, really, my concerns (though not very seriously) are only on History (which is borderline-A-material) and PK (borderline-B-material due to severe exposure to MUBB [Make-U-Business-Blind] rays). Lookie here - I can't do a single accounting question without referring to my reference book. Wowzers. It seems my brain just won't accept the theories of accounting. How pitiful. I never give up on anything before, but on this one occasion, I don't think I have any other choices. Sorry, PK, but I don't think we work well together. If I'm getting an A from you, Lady Luck's gotta be shining down on me.
*puts on shades* *disco jacket* *spotlight shines on me* *strums air guitar* "Shine on you Crazy Diamond ~~~"
Aye, I see how dramatic I can be. But unexpectedly the metaphor works! You can say that I am crazy (hey, doubt it not) and at the same time, I'm a diamond (not in terms of beauty) - I won't be (too) hurt from merely not getting straight As, or getting any form of downfalls in life later. Call me Williew, the Adamant Soul! Killing everything with laser beams of hope, peace and optimism ... yes, that's me!
I had to wake up early again and go to Kuching for Maths tuition. I slept for 3/4 of the class. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was really half asleep and awake. Thus there were many scrawly lines on my worksheets since I was holding my RexGrip. Anywho, I finished a Papers 1 and 2 in time. That was the last tuition class, *sniff* ... I doubt I will ever see that place again ...
LGI sincerely expresses its gratitude to Madam Chai or SMK Arang Road for her speed, and efficiency in teaching Maths for 3 years. Not to mention she doesn't give off the stern, terse aura that makes people to don't even bother asking questions. And she dutifully reduces the monthly fees according to the amount of classes you attend. That was the first tuition ever that actually did that. Now! As an old Social Link folds closed, hopefully a new one blossoms soon.
Life is kinda like this. People hop aboard and leave your bandwagon consistently. What a harsh reality. You just can't have everyone hanging around forever. Tonight will probably be my last swimming class, depending on how next year's schedule sorts out. We are all currently moving onto the next stage of life - high school. Forms 1, 2 and 3 are middle/junior high classes. Our class will be disassembled. And people like Edbert are transferring. For no good reason. Is it just because Australia is filled with Kuching transfers? Is it okay to just make decisions based on others and trends? I'd prefer to ... differ. And what about Edwin? Did he study through Forms 1 & 2 for nothing? I still keep thinking that he is somehow the black sheep. Yet, he is so nonchalant about the whole thing. Whoa.
I am CURRENTLY looking for an English-speaking college/university in Japan. If I manage to fully learn Japanese before the end of high school, yeah, I probably won't need an English-speaking one. And I can finally play Japanese games with full comprehension of things. I've been trying to coax my father into signing up for a tour group to Japan. But he insists to go to Singapore this year. It seems very unlikely that I will go, but it is of yet still tentative. I had also stupidly signed up for the SMK Padawan trip, and the Science/Maths Camps. Just because nearly everyone else are going. How foolish. I really should have went with Daryl - not signing up for a single one. Why? Firstly, if I go to another school, I'd just be observing from the sidelines. I doubt I will have any fun; this isn't the first time after all. The Science/Maths Camps ... no! I forced myself to be nerdy! I can't believe that I wasted 3 gaming days on these 3 trivial activities. And thank goodness they are only till noon ... they are, right?
I'm still annoyed with Kuching ... IIRC, they never showed The Other Boleyn Girl in local cinemas, I really wanted to watch that since I saw its trailer in Jakarta last year. And Kuching's manga stock sucks. Sucks sheet. And Kuching is no eye-candy. And one would normally think that cities that are not very developed would have plenty of natural beauty. Sadly, Kuching's fugly. Like sheet. And Kuching's as hot and steamy as sheet. I love shopping in Jakarta. Japan is my dream country. I took a quiz and apparently Amsterdam is the perfect European city for me. Hmm, I never looked into Amsterdam much. I thought I would be recommended the quaint, serene countryside of Cottswold (sp?).
Ah, swimming, swimming. I'm finally doing the butterfly. It's not very fun. But it's great learning to do new things. Just remember one thing - when doing the butterfly, let your butt fly. Seriously.
I went to the study group! Cha-chaaang! It was really guilty pleasure going there. I went there for Pokemon, then found out that there weren't any WiFi signals today. Wth. So since I arrived around 7:50 (it was scheduled to be at 8:30, but I didn't know), I whipped out a History book and finished it while listening to music from my DS. I really couldn't help but look around when I listened to The Vogues. Paranoia mambo. Scary. Chik arrived next. Then Jordan. Sharon. Joce & Elisa. Darrow. Che Yik. Fira. Adrenne. Michael came much later. Before Michael came, we already started with Form 3 History revision. I told Fira about the dream I had concerning her wedding.
Much later, Jordan started playing Phoenix Wright (he's only on his second case!) and I played Pokemon Diamond. My Murkrow can take down enemies around 9 levels above her, given that they are weak to Flying/Ghost/Dark. Now heading for 7th Gym! ... We were playing our DSes cos' they moved on to Geography revision, we felt that we didn't need any (I hate to say this, but I really only need to focus on History and PK now, if I want all the As) ... ANYWAYS, Jordan decided to play hypocrite and joined them in their revision. So I who gets bored of the sluggish, clunky interface of Pokemon easily, switched off my game and lazed away ... trying to do a PK paper that I mislooked.
Btw, Ms Wong & Mr Willie was at school. So are a few other teachers. Wonder what they were doing. Sharon and I scouted the library to see 3 teachers discussing inside. They weren't the named couple, ergo the point is moot. The weather was so sickeningly HOT, so we slinked into the staff room to cool down. The janitors were chit-chatting away in the mini-kitchen, so Sharon and I just stood at the main doorway, enjoying the humming air-conditioner ... that was after the Liew couple left. While we were there, the rest heartlessly started thumping down the stairs. I was particularly miffed at the fact that they knew where we were, yet decided to abandon us. So apparently they were going to the shophouses. Only Joce & Elisa bothered noticing us. So we charged on ahead. The heat of the sun was unbearable. I want to up and leave Malaysia. Fly to Japan. It's currently the season of love and romance there, autumn.
So the people went to the handphone store. I followed them there, felt nauseous, and opted to join Sharon at Uni-Shop instead. I love convenience stores ... especially ones in Japan. I dwindled around in the shop on purpose to enjoy the air-con. It was so funny cos' I pretended to check out all sorts of drinks with Sharon. In the end I went with my initial choice anyways, Pulpy C. I like orange juice with pulp. I grabbed a packet of sweets, very old classics, those milk tablets. And those choco-balls we all used to eat during our hazy childhood.
Back at school, our McDonald's delivery van was there (was it a van?). I had a Double Cheeseburger set, along with a freshly-baked Apple Pie. They wrongly packetted them into Banana Pie packets though, which caused quite the furore among the uninformed (which includes Daryl and even myself). It was a nice lunch. I think I am beginning to appreciate McDonald's food. I used to hate the cheese, now I feel it's okay. The fries today were pretty tasteless enough that I had to use ketchup. The apple pie was awesome. Finished first!
After that Jocelyn suggested that we play a game before we kick off with KH revision. Since everyone were confused as to what game to play, I saved the day! I thought the classic game of Hide n' Seek would just be perfect. And perfect it was. It was a total blast. It's fun playing either hider or seeker (I had played both today!), but hiding is more fun! There is this corner that I hid in. I crouched there and comically used my Doraemon wallet to shield my face. Haha, just for laughs. Sadly the seekers never showed up while I was there. In the end I was forced to hide elsewhere since my ankles ached. Adventurous games like Hide n' Seek is plain awesome. I'm happy that everyone was willing to go along with such a childish game. Once I was a hider, and I was found nearly immediately, so I went around trying to seek out the rest. I went to 5A, and I checked out the storeroom. Why do they make storerooms when the students don't even use them!? I looked to my left. Nothing. I was about to leave. But I looked to my right. I screamed. It was Adrenne with her long hair. And Shau. Scary. They screamed too. So our screams attracted the seekers :P ... That was just part of the whole game. We clocked in thelast hour of our group study with a few rounds of Fire & Ice. Not as fun, but nevertheless these nostalgic games are still very fun indeed. Shame Dawn didn't join us. Or the rest of the class.
Sometimes people can turn ... jerky, suddenly. I sometimes wodner how they have the gall to pull that off. I don't know whether to like or dislike these kind of unstable people. You just can't help cherishing them when they are nice. Then they just drop off their mask and become an entirely different creature which is a total jerk. Even Michael is sick of said person. Said person is pretty sick too, what with this multiple personality disorder.
The whole day, Daryl and Jordan was at it again - teasing Jocelyn with random garbage. Sometimes I just can't help but wonder what there is to be amused of; what there is to be laughing at. I mean, wth. They just spout something illogical (usually related to Jocelyn's non-existent fatness, or what she eats) and laugh their heads off. Yeah, har har har. I am most bamboozled. By. Such. Baseless. Stupidity. Geez, and since in normal class I sit quite close to them already, I listen to their stupidity every day. Now I'm getting fed up. No one else ... maybe except for Jordan's delta formation in front, bothers to laugh. Can't they see that they are ANNOYING, CHILDISH ... and STUPIG!? Is this caused by the PIG flu!? Things are just getting STUPIGGER and STUPIGGER by the day! Seriously, I can't believe it. And to think most of the time I see them as the most mature boys in class. Wth.
After PMR, I would like to watch Couples Retreat with everyone. It looks cool. Also, if anyone's going to Singapore in the year-end hols, tell me! Because it will affect my decision of whether to go to Singapore or not.
Last year I was all into English songs. This year it seems the J-vibe caught up to me again! I finally had the chance to listen to GReeeeN's widely acclaimed "Kiseki" which means "Miracle" in English. After listening to it, I felt that it was deserving of its popularity and place in the Guiness Book of World Records. IIRC, it broke the record for number of downloads, worldwide methinks. Not gonna post the vid (pretty enchanting), local readers = anti-Japan! 'Cept a small number of people, yeah. Talking about J-Pop, Salyu's "Iris ~ Shiawase no Hako" is awesome. It means "Iris ~ Box of Happiness". It's also Prof. Layton and the Diabolical Box's ED. The music video is so touching. Even though I have no idea what the ending is like :P ... Dawn knows though, ask her. But don't tell me. The OP and ED of Hana Kimi, "Ikenai Taiyou" by Orange Range and "PEACH" by Otsuka Ai respectively are so upbeat and hip! I am currently also looking for "Eternal Pose" by Asia Engineer - anyone has it (I doubt it)?
Hana Kimi ... is a Japanese drama serial adapted from a manga of the same name. It's so popular, it spawned a Taiwanese version (me don't likey). It's about Ashiya Mizuki, a girl in California, who, after watching a Japanese guy who came to America to train in high jumping, disguised herself as a boy and enroll in the guy's all-boys school in Japan after hearing that the guy stopped high jumping. The school is a school that doesn't take in students based on grades but based on looks. So it is also called "Hottie Paradise". It's funny, wacky, hilarious and altogether cute and charming. It's watchable for free here.
Now I am off to Chik's blog! Woosh, just finished 3 homework in a row, after coming home from a tired day of work! I speak like an old guy! Ha ha!
Why am I blogging so early, you ask? Why, that's because ... I woke up early! ... ... ...
Well, I woke up early, then Mynci, my father and I went out for breakfast at a coffee shop in the main town of Bau. I gobbled up my fried rice then hopped over to QQ's shop. We walked around on pretense. Due to that pretense, I never saw her. Wow. So I went over to the bookstore, grabbed a manga mag, and here I am at home. I got a tummy ache from my breakfast. Stupid coffee shop food. Must have been my canned drink. The can looked pretty unhygienic even after I wiped it with tissue. After that I played a little Cradle of Persia on my computer. It's a pretty nifty game that my sis dug up from out of nowhere. As in, from the computer. She said she got it from the My Pictures folder O_O ... well, she never answers straight, but I gotta thank her for getting a new game. Out of nowhere. Cool.
Since I am free anyways ... Let's recap back to March. I went to China. I never blogged about it. I really went there for the big Liew bloodline reunion. Ha. Wth.
While I was still in Guangzhou city, I did once when searching for my mother in the late evening when she hasn't came back after quite awhile (she said she went to buy some sundries?). Of course, I won't do that for my father. So, acting like a detective, I scanned the main street for any traces of blood/glass/metal in case my mom got into an accident. Phew, thank goodness nothing happened. Next was the nearest strip mall. I whipped out my iPhone, and started asking random people whether they have seen the woman in the photo that I was displaying. Sigh ... no dice. It was really worrying. Not to mention the weather was cold. In the end, I gave up and trudged back to the hotel. My mom returned much much later. Apparently she netted herself a guide of her own and she went shopping elsewhere and there were lots of snacks and cup noodles. Yay? Okay, so that was very worrisome and it repeated the following night. Only that time, I brought my sis along. In the end our search bore no fruit. Anyways, that aside, the hotel's buffet was awesome! I always look forward to breakfast every morning. Since I can get any ingredients I want, I tried out food art! I'll just post one:
I know I could have tidied up the lower-right side a bit, but I forgot. This is the easiest form of food art for me yet - just use fried rice as base, then sprinkle some furikake to make shapes. The buffet had all sorts of condiments, and was I delighted when I saw that they have furikake! There were many other foodstuffs, I definitely recommend it. It's the Baiyun Hotel, in case it had already slipped your mind.
I would like to continue, but I have only done 1/4 of my total homework!
Yesterday (Monday), I woke up after a dream about Fira's wedding. Everyone were to race to her wedding. I started off in an abandoned mall. On the road I met up with lots of other people like Shau and hitched rides, ran, rode bikes and climbed mountains to finally reach a secluded village where Fira's white, minimist bungalow was. What a scary way to attend a wedding. The journey was the most exciting though, we went to a lot of places before finally reaching the wedding party. So my maid tried waking me up at 9. I brushed her off. At 10 and 11 too. I brushed her off on those two occasions as well. The dream was one of those adventurous ones. I love adventures. I was the first to reach the wedding party, at night. It skipped to the next morning and I noticed how Fira's place was so beautiful. Marble flooring, porcelain deco, wow. Very white. There was the greener garden, yeah. I can't remember much. But I haven't had such a nice dream in a while already. Don't ask me who the groom was, I didn't even get to see Fira in the whole dream.
Today I had about 11 hours of sleep, methinks. I slept at 4 am till 3:30 pm ... no kidding. Okay, I was kidding. I woke at 12 something, watched some CSI, some Scare Tactics, some Oprah Winfrey show, some British music videos (I liked Sugababes' Push The Button) - basically, a parade of random programmes. Then there was the commercial that Dr Oz will be making his last appearance in Oprah's show tonight, so I wept for the emotion that was there. Aww. Too bad I couldn't make it for the Dr Oz special episode, I was at Science tuition. So after TV, like, about 2 pm, I slumped down on a portable mattress in the living room and lazed the hours away. Eventually I fell asleep again. Ugh.
Later I finally picked myself up for shower, then just as I switched on my DS, my father came home and alerted me of Indonesian guests. They came while I was in the Underground, so I was forced to let the game run while being charged. The guests (the teens only really) were childhood friends whom I can't even assign proper names to anymore. Well, we chatted a bit in Indonesian (they were surprised I managed to master the language, being never-officially-educated after all) ... they asked me why I can't go to Jakarta this year, I said this year I am 'ludes'-ed. 'Ludes' means broke. Kinda like a slang. They also asked why I didn't follow my mom and sis to Kalimantan this holiday (I know I never mentioned it). Well, there was an embargo put on me since PMR is coming up. And I haven't studied :P ... Anyways, my mom and sis left last Friday at 3 in the morning (I stayed up on Thursday night just to say my farewells). I always weep at farewells, this one was no exception. Especially being fuelled by a certain scene in the manga Steel Ball Run. The part where Johnny tearfully chose to save Gyro's life over the treasured Saint's body parts. IIRC, the chapter was "The Promised Land Sugar Mountain", Part 3. So one of the visitting teens offered to buy Indonesian manga for me - I can order from her through MSN now - yay! Then I added everyone in Facebook and ka-blam they had to go.
Yesterday I also found out that the creator of the (in)famous Crayon Shin-Chan, Yoshito Usui, had died while hiking. Our world lost another of its best. His manga was the type that can just brand a smile on your face no matter how dark your days had been. LGI sincerely expresses its deepest sympathies and condolences to Usui-sensei's family and co-workers. R.I.P
The song, "Turn Around, Look At Me" is one awesome love song. But it made me so paranoid, now I always look around, feeling that ghosts are around. This is mainly because the way it was used in Final Destination 3 made it seem like a stalker's creed. I mean, the first few lines are like: "There is someone Walking behind you Turn around Look at me. There is someone Watching your footsteps Turn around Look at me ..." But to counter that, I have ... the ED for Hana Kimi, "PEACH" by Otsuka Ai! It's so vibrant and cheery! Nevertheless, the creepy/romantic song by The Vogues that's hitting me with paranoia is very much worth listening to. Pure goodness.
Last night, for some reason, while waiting for some webpages to load, I went over to my One Piece tab. And I received a great surge of One Piece energy that was so great, I actually started reading it full-force. I sped from the tearful end of the Sabaody Archipelago arc where the crew got separated up until mid-Impel Down arc. It was that awesome. I expected the Amazon Lily arc to be boring, but unexpectedly, I found it a page-turner. Finally, the killer arc. Impel Down. It was SO ... SUPER. I cannot even begin to describe it. First off, my blood was like, rushing. Reunion with old villains. Buggy, Mr 3, Bon Clay. Whoa. Later, when Luffy was poisoned by Magellan, Bon Clay said another one of those killer lines when asked why he had to help Luffy. "We are friends! There's no need for any other reason!" One Piece. You. Rock. Please don't end! Later when Iva injected Luffy with the hormones, Mr 2 (Bon Clay) stayed outside and cheered Luffy on without resting. He was THAT awesome! And Daryl didn't tell me! The whole time I played "BRAND NEW WORLD" on my computer, to further encourage the rush. Finally, today I finished things up till the latest chapter. Mr 2's selfless sacrifice at the end ... was most noteworthy. From now on, I seriously respect transvestites. They may even better than other guys. Like certain classmates. Now all the focus is on the Marineford battle. If anything, I want the Straw Hat crew to come immediately, or for Moria to be beaten to a bloody pulp by anyone. I can't wait for the Straw Hats to return stronger than ever. Here are my speculations:
Zoro - Learns Haki since he may train with Perona by trying to cut her ghosts. Sanji - Learns Okama Kenpo to further expand his movepool. Nami - Learns a lot more meteorological skills from her stay in Weatheria. Usopp - Beetle-based moves? I mean, his sling-staff is called Kabuto, and one his attacks is Hissatsu Atlas Suisei, based on Atlas beetles. Not to mention he is with a guy in a beetle mask now ... Robin - Rokushiki. The people who saved her in the end looked suspiciously like Lucci, Kaku and Jyabura. Franky - New mechanical abilities, and he may potentially upgrade the Sunny since he is at a technological island now. I am unsure about Brook and Chopper though, but since they are my favorites, I really hope they will get super strong.
This is my first attempt at blawghing. It's just like tweeting in Twitter. Just that this one sounds less cute. Btw, I am patenting the term 'blawghing' ... or at least I am the founder :P.
I won't be blawghing here. Too bad. The blawgh is just the official term for the short sentence at the top in gray.
This morning I woke up for History tuition after a mere 3 hours of sleep. When I woke up I scrambled for the door because the room was dark and Where Got Ghost took its toll on me apparently. Last night after blogging I went up and I played Zubo for a bit. It's a musical-cum-role-playing game on the DS. Quirky and decent. Then I quickly moved on to Pokemon. Diamond. I finally discovered how to connect with players all over the world. I'm so happy that I have HomeWiFi. Did you know that WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity? Later I will be battling Jordan's team, straight from my house here in Bau. I hope he remembers. I trained my Pokemon a lot last night, without using Rare Candies/Exp Share. I mostly focused on Vesper (my Vespiquen, originally intended to be named VesperLynd, a tribute to the Bond girl of the same name) and Cherry, my Cherrim. Here are their current movesets, ready for my future NU battles with Jordan or anyone else. NU means Never Used. I like using Pokemon that are rarely used by pros.
Cherry Lv 29 Naive nature Held item: Persim Berry - Hidden Power [Fire] - Petal Dance - Growth - Sunny Day
Vesper Lv 29 Quirky nature Held item: Insect Plate - Heal Order - Defog - Power Gem - X-Scissor
They were both very useful on the annoying route to Celestic Town. Cherry easily OHKOed the Ninja Boys' Geodudes and Vesper Power Gem'd those stupid Ponytas to death. During the final quarter of the route I switched in Murina, my Murkrow since the aforementioned duo were already exhausted.
So let's get back to History tuition. Not very reassuring. I got a B for the first paper my tutor issued but I got an A that beats my mock's A for the second paper. It was very fun. My tutor also watched The Final Destination and Where Got Ghost in cinemas though she is pregnant. Whoa. And here I thought horror flicks are the worst treats expectant mothers can ever receive. We discussed the deaths in mediocre detail, laughed at some of the silliness, talked about the songs that were playing on my playlist (my teacher loved The Vogues' "Turn Around, Look At Me" which was palyed in Final Destination 3 and was really creepy) then Mynci and I were left with two sheets to do in the holidays. Before she went, we watched a spoof trailer of Final Destination 4 on YouTube. It's got to be one of the funniest parodies of a horror movie yet.
Watch, there's not one bit of a scare, but every part is worth lolling for. Then after the teacher left, we moved onto watching the very first Final Destination on YouTube. Wow, the movie feels so fresh since I last watched it during 1st grade. Part 7 of the movie was banned for 18 and below YouTubers ... what a let-downer. I believe it was during Mrs Lewton's death. Too violent? Don't think so. The first movie's deaths are all pretty lame. And stupid. First of all, Mrs Lewton is a retarded teacher who didn't even notice her mug leaking, and didn't have the common sense to back away from a smoky computer. And she was a bish. Die, bishes! So we watched Hana Kimi instead. Mynci already watched the Taiwanese version, but it's all new to me. I love reverse harems. Awesome. I mean to say, I love everything with Horikita Maki in it. 100% lol-guaranteed. Later Mynci left after the first episode, I went for a nap. I woke up, looked at my left. Then I turned my head to the right. WAGGGH! My maid was standing so near to me staring off into the distance and I was so scared. I really should have picked A Perfect Getaway over Where Got Ghost. Or even G-Force. I was so traumatized, I didn't go back to sleep and sat around singing random songs I came up with. I really wanted to get on with my homework, but ... yeah ... The whole afternoon I also used Blogthings, a lot. I also went for a walk under the rain with my umbrella. I like rainy walks. Chilly, refreshing.
Then I sat aorund doing fruitless stuff till now. I know, I REALLY should start getting things going. Quote Mr Andy, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going!"
If you don't get the reference on the title ... I dunno.
Btw, I got some of my facts wrong. The Prof. Layton series is not based on picture books. It's based on the creater's fondness for puzzle books >.< ... I don't really like puzzle books!
It is so nice to have early holidays, even if it's just by a day. My mock results were okay. 5As, 1B, 1C. The literature part for BM 1 is actually pretty subjective to how you see things, so how well I do on that part always varies. I did not expect my PK results to be how it is. I really thought History was way harder, and the A I got from it was so encouraging! It was a very close A, yeah, but it still counts. I don't think I will be getting straight A1s in SPM, but we really shouldn't care all that much. While waiting for the 29th of September to come round, I've been playing a lot of Pokemon Diamond, and Pokemon SoulSilver. SoulSilver is in Japanese, but hey, I've been playing those types for quite a while already. I will play HeartGold in English later. I just beat my first Gym in SoulSilver with my following team:
Flint Lv 12 (Male Cyndaquil, main sweeper) Gina Lv 11 (Female Geodude, my current physical wall) Buzz Lv 11 (Male Beedrill, mainly for weakening Pokemon with Poison Sting/Fury Attack to capture them) Kiran Lv 10 (Female Hoothoot, I initially wanted a Spearow for the Flying position but people recommended Hoothoot for its Hypnosis) Merry Lv 11 (Female Mareep, backup sweeper) Vic Lv 6 (Male Bellsrout, just captured)
I have an Onix and a Togepi egg in storage ... I'm not using the Onix cos' I got it when Gina already learned Rock Throw, so there's no point stocking up on Rock Pokemon ... I'm not a fan of them. Gina will be replaced later I think.
James thinks it is unfair if people like me get straight As if hard-working people like him don't. Eh ... I just have to say that studying isn't all about working hard. I believe one can study in many ways, and I decided to take it smooth and easy, like how I am currently doing my PK homework. I copy all of the answers down with pencil, read through all the papers, and that's it. It's easy, fast and you get the info. Later I just have to intentionally make some errors to make it seem like I didn't copy. But I bet Mr Jeff will find out *gulp* ... the teachers read blogs. I also don't think it is wrong to still be reading manga, playing games or watching movies (I just did :D). I just wasn't born to be a work-grinder. I don't like games that need a lot of grinding as a result. Thus my dislike of MMOs. I am also more of a night person (I took the test online) - I sleep through the first 4 classes of school everyday since I work better under the moonlight (I never did any work al fresco though, just indoors, at night). You can see that James detests my copying/sleeping habits (he sure does, and I don't like him reprimanding me). Well, it's not like anyone compliments me for not copying. No, that's just an excuse. Now I'll be moving onto the History homework that doesn't have answer sheets :( ... but I will NOT refer to the stupid textbooks. I prefer to read and work separately. My workspace is not all that ... spacy, and I'd rather just skim through my work :P ... sorry, I don't want to waste so much time on homework. I have Pokemon and j-dorama to catch up on. There's also the minor timeslots of blogging and badminton. I don't get to do much badminton these days, it had been more than 2 weeks. I am expecting to exercise some tomorrow. Talking about exercise, I'm so glad that our team won our last captainsball match of the year! I'm also the self-proclaimed MVD (D for Defender) this time round, I chose to stick to steel wall defense than the balanced offensive-defensive approach I used to take that turned out disappointing. We lost our last ball, but I don't care, in total we scored more. It's the most fun team sports for me, in others like basketball or football they all seem so rough and show-offish. Btw as a guy I hate football. I never saw what the whole craze is about, so don't bother changing my mind. But I don't mind American football. It's awesome. I'm an Eyeshield 21 fan. Karen said she may hold a captainsball match during her birthday, and I am hoping that it will be held.
I never said I will get straight As. I don't need them. But they will be helpful. I try to get them. Even if I don't get them, I won't blame my laid-backness. I am happy for how things are, and it's better to stay true to myself than reduce myself to some studious nerd or wannabe model student when I am not. Hey, just having a few missing As won't cancel out your future! Let's have a little look-see: Final Fantasy XIII will still be coming out, my passion for writing is still burning strong, One Piece has yet to end, Japan is still there, marriage is still on the highway, the soundtrack to my life still consists of the most vibrant of songs. I'd wake up every morning to see that the world has begun anew yet again. There are so many things to enjoy. Like enjoying the Malaysia summer daze with Mr Danny while watching the Football Club do their drills. Rewinding at Spring with Jordan. Shopping with Daryl. Eating snacks with Sharon. Playing badminton with Mynci. Deep talks with Shau/Yong. I particularly enjoy all these 1-on-1 sessions. I have the hardest of times expressing myself in groups. When in groups I just be the clown (I'm scared of clowns to be frank) ... there's no real bonding cos' I'm just there for laughs. I expect myself to have hard times in both the Arts and Science streams (but possibly won't be as hard in Science since I am really only business-blind) ... they make little difference. If there's a Literature stream, maybe I will work harder, but ... XD I bet I will just subconsciously expect the teachers to know where to stream me. People in Kuching sure look down on the realm of artistry. That's why the Literature stream got cancelled out. My parents aren't the most encouraging of their children's dreams, so they won't pay for courses I intend to take from The Writer's Bureau. It's a writing school btw. I showed Yi Yong a letter I received from them, straight from Manchester! I wished I have paid less attention of school and more on part-time jobs. I have an ex-classmate. She started working at a boutique part-time since she graduated 6th grade. Now she has gone all the way to working in a restaurant in Kuching from mere Bau. I'm still trying to contact her ... I wish one day I can meet her again. She was an awesome friend. I used to help out at her grandparents' bakery (I still do it actually, occasionally, without pay). I wish I live in Kuching, there are more job offers, and with my size, it isn't hard faking my age unless identification is needed. Then again hopefully I am given the chance to show my capabilities. But all those can just be excuses, I realized. I am just running away. I am just lazy. In fact there are jobs just about a mile from where I live. I just feel bored looking at the low wages. Sigh ... I just recently received an e-mail from the Bureau stating that they have reduced the student's fees but I never told them I cannot pay. I dunno why I am letting down the hopes of so many people. But if there's one thing I am sure of, I am trying to over come this laziness, and hopefully I can grasp my dreams as soon as I can. Currently I am shooting for whatever writing competition that comes my way, but I'm yet to win any. I lost the MPH one ... I realized that I never really stuck to the theme much, and it was actually quite vague, the references. Writing is a most enjoyable career, but it is also one of those that can take forever to receive your paychecks. I wonder how J. K. Rowling manages those uber-thick monoliths known as Harry Potter. According to many sources, a stable income is the staple requirement for marriage, and I don't want a late marriage. I really like family life, evident from how much I adore the dorama At Home Dad. Mr Andy even said that I am born to be a family man. Oh, he's an education counsellor that came for our EduFair this year as GEN's ambassador. He recommended the Academia in Australia as my place for higher education, but I have many pet peeves about Australia ... mainly because of it being where most Kuching people are going, and also the thing I've discussed with Mr Danny the other day ... my unwillingness to blend in with the norm. Isaiah seconded it. I went to the EduFair with Agnes ... meaning ... that was one of our 1-on-1 bonding sessions! Awesome! So she wants to be a businesswoman ... guess I won't be seeing her in class next year. Btw, if you are a guy, and you secretly admire Agnes, you have to be thin (not stick-thin), muscular and tall. And manly. If you actually observe here, you shy boys of 3A, you can see that beneath her quietness she is quite perky and ... cute! I am just trying to highlight our classmates' qualities, so don't go thinking the wrong way. And btw, don't be like Michael who just upped and asked to bond. It won't do! When we bond, we bond. Our moments come n-a-t-u-r-a-l-l-y. For current 9th graders, you can still see Mr Andy (Lee) next year during our EduFair if you go. Or else you can meet him later this year at the The Functions Room in Hilton on October 17th. GEN (Global Education Network) will be holding a Pre-University Education Fair there for free, and that includes career counselling etc. If you engage me on MSN I can give you the flyer online. GEN is very cool because they provide farewell parties for students who are leaving, student visa application and also guaranteed accomodation, alongside other spiffy bonuses. Not all education companies do that. In case you are wondering, yes, I am the self-appointed ambassador of GEN in the blogosphere. It's a very sad job with zero wages. But I did mention to Mr Andy before that if I'd be working in an office, I'd be in the CM (commercial) field. As of now that's the only office job I know so far that needs creativity. Maybe besides fashion/interior designers. I'd say I have a knack for interior designing (needs verification) or at least the passion. I love playing The Sims to design my Sims' houses. My last project was a a very hexagonal suburban home. I loved it. It used to be symmetrical but later I added a backyard. It's still great!
I must be the Digression Maestro. I am so great at digressing, I kill Tweeters at Twitter who use uber-short messages with my Midgardsomr-ish posts. You can call me Williew, the Cute Sparkling Warrior of Love, Friendship and Digressions! I heal J. Loh with my Angelic Eye Beams of Love! I massacre hoards of loners with my Dance of Friendship! I slay Tweeters with my Digressive Verbosity Pose! For the rest, I can subjugate them with awesome sparkles of cuteness. I was joking. I wish I wasn't born big cos' I really like to act chibi. Maybe I am just a Midori (from Devil Survivor) wannabe! But who cares!? This post needs its fair share of un-seriousness, I believe. Lately I think I could have multiple-personality disorder. Sometimes I see myself as a midget-like character with delusionary quirks. Other times maybe an old man with quite the facial hair, salt-and-pepper hair and cigarette. If not, a guy dressed in a cute mascot costume. Eww. Watahelle.
Today I went to Spring with Jordan. I reached there first, and the crowd for immense. I queued so long at MBO's box office. Then I asked for Gamer tickets. I stupidly nodded when the health-conscious attendant (she had a face mask) asked if I was below 18. James called me naive, and I really can't see why otherwise, sigh. So I couldn't watch Gamer, forcing me to watch Where Got Ghost. It gave me goosebumps to even type out such horrible English. Before I got the tickets though, I saw a bunch of stupid grade school boys with such short height queuing up at an empty counter waiting to be served. I bet their parents would be so embarassed. I can't believe they can let such stupid children go out on their own. On the other hand, my father won't even let me buy an iPhone casing on my own because he feared I will be cheated. Wth. This is way more unfair than me getting 7As and James not getting them, IMO. Iasked Sharon out as well but her parents did not grant permission. Poor Sharon. I tried to contact Shau but failed. I must have had the wrong number. I lingered around outside till Jordan came from Ms Joey's tuition. We just poked around the top floor. Then we realize there was only 15 minutes left and the queue at the snack bar was horrid. I left Jordan to grab the drinks and popcorn while I chatted away with seniors Victor Tan (my apparent lookalike which I still have doubts of) and Shirley Ngui. I also saw Joshua from 3B and Elyssa along with their gang of unknown kids. In the end we were about 10+ minutes late for the movie. The movie is just a compilation of 3 shorts, and we just watched the last quarter of the first short movie. It was mildly scary. Since there were a bunch of idiotic kids (presumably from the empty counter) and other idiotic teens, it was so noisy with people shouting and laughing at whatever. Seriously, that was my first time being in a theatre with such cinema-etiquetteless people and it wasn't my first comedy. When I watched Final Destination the other day, no one even screamed. I must have been unlucky this time. Like Jordan said, today Spring was just replete with sluts and Ah Bengs. There was even a girl who mustered the most unnatural, off-notch "F**k" when a ghost appeared on-screen. And man, was she loud or what. Then those stupid kids ran up and down the aisle screaming that it was scary. Hey, have some manners. It was your own fault for not buying G-Force tickets. At least leave quietly. Good riddance. The second short was actually scary and with minor funny moments. But truly scary. I am more scared of ghosts than gratuitious gore I had during the last outing at Spring. The last one was so touching, I cried. Seriously. It was also a bit scary. Especially the part where the ghost appears in the television. 3.5/5 for the whole thing ... maybe it would have gotten higher if I watched all of the first short too.
Jordan and I went gallivanting over to Starbucks. Before that, he went to buy a crystal case for his DS (...). I ordered an Apple Danish and an Iced Latte. The drink was so bitter, I regretted buying it. The food on the other hand was divine. But RM7 still seems a bit too pricy. Oh well. We whipped out our DSes and booted up our respective Generation IV Pokemon games. I used Diamond, he used Platinum. We logged onto Starbucks' WiFi and traded our evolution-by-trading Pokemon. Finally. Willie, my Machoke, became a Machamp. Gashuri, my Haunter, became a Gengar. Domon (Do means earth in Japanese, mon means door), my Graveler, became a Golem. And Jordan's Kadabra shedded its bra and finally became a true woman who doesn't need bras (Alakazam). I admit that that was so lame a pun, I didn't even chuckle. I myself forgot to trade over Mephisto (my Kadabra) but whatever. I don't use Mephisto much after I got Raphael, my prized Girafarig. Did you know that Girafarig is palindromic? It is the same spelled backwards. Girafarigs belong in the NU tier when it comes to competitive metagaming, but I use it anyways. To make matters worse, my Girafarig has the Jolly nature. When I caught it I still haven't realized the importance of natures but anyways I don't think I will be into the metagame part much anyway. I will just max out Raphael's SpA EVs and probably give it Choice Specs. Girafarig is awesome for its Normal/Psychic typing so it cancels out its Ghost-type weakness though it is still weak to Dark-type moves. So I intend to spread its EVs between HP, SpA and Def. Jordan and I also battled some, I got 2 wins, 1 loss. Then we said bye and here I am after finishing up Uta no Onii-san's last episode. I cried. Haha.
... If everyone dies, nobody cares. Those are the first two lines of the Random Singing session between Yi Yong and me. Currently, it goes like this:
If everyone cares, nobody dies If everyone dies, nobody cares (those two lines are interchangeable) [Yi Yong sings something] Oh my soul is in pain (time for random lyrics) My head's in the game but my heart's in the song Bla bla bla
Besides Random Singing, 3A also has Random Dancing services, along with mock trials and talk shows ... all hosted by me. I am also thinking of a confession booth service. You can cover your face with a piece of paper, so will I, and you can start confessing your secrets. By the way, I will be able to see your nametag :D
Okay, a-yo yo, we are, fin'shed, rappin' the prologgie ... yo! Leschuhz (let's start) wiv ... gaymin'! It'z a-gettin' gayer by da min'te!
I am currently into Pokemon Diamond and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. This is PLatDB:
That was just a parody on the official trailer. If you want the links to the other parodied Prof. Layton trailers, drop in on the chatbox, right on your ... right, yessiree. Anyways, since Prof. Layton is pretty unknown in Kuching (only Dawn knows it when I mention the name), let us start with the explanation; full-swing and all.
The Prof. Layton games are together a DS series based on a series of picture books (picture books are really cool, okay?), developed by kick-ass developer Level 5 (Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, Rouge Galaxy, Ninokuni: Another World, Ushiro) and currently there are only two Layton games in English - Prof. Layton and the Curious Village + PLatDB. The series are based on Profesor Layton and his apprentice Luke as they take down puzzle after puzzle. That sure sounded boring. But believe me, it's not. It's even better than masturbation. Trust me, I'm sure. In every game you will be treated to a majestic plot and charming, simple artwork. The game also has voice-acting to boot. Great voiceovers, in fact. They are rich with the British accent, and I just love classic English settings, okay? Especially being on a classic express train in Diabolical Box. According to Yi Yong (the London guru), no such trains exist anymore. Boo. You may be wondering how Level 5 managed to cram 1000s of puzzles and voice-acting and orchestrated soundtracks into a DS cartridge, but who cares how they did that. All that matters is the game sucks you in. I'm also currently playing Pokemon Diamond ( I know I've said this). I can't wait for HeartGold/SoulSilver. By 29th September though, I no longer need to play Pokemon Diamond, I will have Hero's Saga: Laevateinn Tactics, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days and The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Don't underestimate the last one. I've seen a trailer, and it looks awesome. I also would like a PSP just to play P3P (Persona 3 Portable). I finally netted myself a deal that if I get at least 5As, I can have a new console. Finally, some motivation to study. ONLY ONE CONSOLE! AND THEY ALL LOOK SO AWESOME! The PS3 has the best graphics output, and also the most likely console Konami and Atlus will move Suikoden and SMT onto, respectively. The 360 has some impressive games like Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia. The Wii will be having Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon and I also wanna try Pokemon Battle Revolution, alongside Super Smash Bros Brawl. The PSP will have Ushiro, P3P, and Revelations: Persona. Btw, my father brought home a PSP of his friend's son's to give me a taste-test. I was like, "WHOAAAA" ... I mean, I've tried Vincent's before, but I didn't have much time trying it out XP. It was a 1st-grader's PSP, and thus I played LocoRoco :) ... it was pretty innovative for a platformer, but that's about it. With me, platformers won't ever make it to the end credits. Well, most of the time. That's also why I don't appreciate stuff like Mario. Eww. At least LocoRoco has its charm.
Dorama, dorama, I like dorama (Japanese drama) ~ Indian, Indian, I like talking like an Indian ~ Objection, objection, I can't wait for Miles Edgeworth's game next year ~
Let's check my list of watched dramas!
1st (and the one that drove me to watch dorama in the first place!) - Smile (unfinished) 2nd - Atashinchi no Danshi (finished) 3rd - At Home Dad (favorite, finished) 4th - Attention Please (unfinished, stupid Dailymotion is crazy slow) 5th - Dragon Zakura (this dorama is awesome! But the 5th episode is hosted on Veoh which is banned in Malaysia ... one of the reasons I hate staying here ... maybe I'll have to look for the DVD ...) 6th - Uta no Onii-chan (watching, I hate how the main character looks so pathetic but otherwise it's great ... personally, I find the main character to look like Kenny Sia actually, minus the pathetic parts) 7th - My Little Chef (just started)
I've been working hard on finding every dorama with Abe Hiroshi inside (At Home Dad, Dragon Zakura, My Little Chef) ... he's my favorite actor! Let's see my favs!
I also like regulars like Ueto Aya, Koike Teppei, Aragaki Yui etc. I tend to like watching family dramas, so I especially liked At Home Dad. May talk about it another time.
I worked hard painting in Art! I painted a personified collage based on my image of Persona 5 ... I am expecting it to have a neon green + black motif, complete with a plot connected to nature. So I brought my painting to Mr Chai after-school. He gave me the 49, but he said he wants to sell my painting. Wth? I refused (I won't even get the money!) since I really wanted to show the painting to Isaiah and Aaron from upstairs. However he just went on with it, blur as always, and told me I can take it back if it doesn't sells. O_O ... Hey, I know I'm supposed to be happy that a painting of mine actually got appraised to be of value, but it's really a special one for me. At least let everyone else in class to see it. T_T I really want people like Agnes to praise me, because ... they like to give harsh criticisms! Argh!
These days I am getting good reads off the school's library! I recently read Tripping to Somewhere by Kristopher Reisz and it was a fantastic blast. I had an awesome time reading it, except for the mildly disturbing parts featuring lesbianism. Otherwise it's just the perfect book for me. Now I am reading N. P. by Banana Yoshimoto. Her Kitchen book was amazing, so I thought, "Why not?" As usual, Japanese stuff sucks me in. N. P. stands for North Point, btw. It features incest. Oh great, I am starting to attract books featuring the most disturbing of sexual conquests like how rubbish attracts flies! ... Not a very nice comparison. I like my most recent essay that I wrote for a pop writing test. Yi Yong said it was average, but I suppose she just didn't get the humour. At least Dawn got all cracked up. I was actually worried that Ms Chin wouldn't like the sarcastic nature of my essay, but it seems to be fine.
