mood: happy, excited!! 

Right, so it's been exactly two weeks since I've updated, and I can't believe I didn't update a really exciting part of my life for the past week. FOC was DAMN AWESOME!! omg. Even now, I'm feeling the excitement... although it's already over. I wished it didn't end with just 5 days... even though if FOC did go on for a few more days, I probably wouldn't have enough shorts (I've got tons of shirts for camp) to last me for a few more days at camp. Wahaha. I still had so much energy on the last day; it was always the hardest at the very moment when I've just woken up, but after a while, I no longer feel lethargic and I'm ready to HIT THE ROAD!! whooo-hooo! GO LOVECRAFT!! <3  The LOVECRAFTERS, right now, are still pretty bonded and united in my opinion, but I wonder if that'll change after we get assigned to our different classes. Oh dear.. I wonder if I'll be in the same class as any other lovecrafters. xD 

Hehe. For the past one week after FOC, there was this major facebook email spamming because of all the awesome FOC photos and videos... plus we even had an outing for a whole day (at Wendy's house and Orchard Ion), where even non-Lovecrafters seniors joined us. And then came another moment of fb photo/video spamming because of the outing. Oh my, but that outing was the first time I ever went home so late! I only reached home at like, 11.40pm, and my parents were.... pretty anxious... and probably a little pissed. ooooh. But it was super fun!! Gosh, I just LOVE being with my fellow future school/faculty mates. Lovecraft's filled with a bunch of crazy, loving and really really fun people! That is perhaps the most important reason why I enjoyed FOC and had so much fun~ GO LOVECRAFT!! xD 

Shall I go into the details of FOC...? HMMM. Nah, I think I shan't... for if I did, there'd be no end to this entry. I could go on forever talking about how fun it was... LOL. 

I shall talk about some other stuff then!! 

I'm in a dilemma; because I don't know which laptop I should get. The ADM seniors are trying to brainwash us into converting from a Windows-user to a Macbook-user. I must say, I was, and am still, really impressed with the stunning Mac interface. However, some issues that I have with using Mac are stuff like not getting used to the new OS (I'm pretty impatient when it comes to computers I guess), and most importantly, the WEIGHT! I'm lazy and weak, so I'd really really love to get a light-weight laptop. Plus, I don't stay in any Hall (hostel), which means I have to carry the heavy load to and fro all the time. =(  In the evening, I was reading laptop reviews and was comparing between VAIO SR, VAIO Z, ACER Timeline, and Macbook Pro (all are 13"). According to the reviews, it seems to me that the VAIO SR was the best buy amongst the four. GOSH, if only Mac wasn't that heavy. 

Rightttt. It's either I don't update my journal for a long period of time, or when I finally update, I talk so much. I guess I'm just so excited that I can't help but go on and on.. haha! I've been sketching a few stuff since yesterday (I bought these really cool metallic color pencils and became really excited and eager to test them in my sketches). I've also been listening to some really really REALLY awesome soundtrack that my sister recommended me, and I'm feeling very inspired now to do a Fatal Frame II music video. Or maybe, I shall try doing a fan-made Fatal Frame II trailer, since I haven't tried making a fan trailer before. HEHE. 

YES, here comes work!! Inspiration!!

mood: average on the whole, but a little impatient... 
 

Like I said, I'm in a hurry and there's not much time left before I am separated from my virtual and homely life.... I'm attending the ADM FOC next Tuesday and I will only be back on Saturday. I am looking forward to camp activities and meeting my to-be classmates but the fact that I have to be away home for 4 nights sometimes make me not look forward to it. At camp, I cannot sleep with my little friends (plushies!), my 12 pillows 5 bolsters, my favourite favourite favourite (times that a million times) baby cloth, cannot enjoy a long bath, cannot wear my ever so comfortable pajamas, cannot play my piano (even if they had a piano there, I wouldn't play it because I'm not that good), cannot watch my anime, cannot sing (not that I can sing either right now though because of the dreadful cough), cannot toy-talk, cannot cook my seaweed soup, cannot wear my voodoo black cat hat, have to handle the dirty clothes myself, cannot read my manga... ahh! The list goes on. 

That's why I never really thought of staying in a Hall of Residence either. I prefer dependence over independence perhaps. HAHA. xD 

Iyahh! And as the days for camp draws nearer, my pampered, lazy and unmotivated days at home temporarily come to an end. =( I hope to watch as many Inuyasha episodes as I can before I leave for camp... I'm already at the 142nd episode out of the total 167 episodes. I guess I'll only be able to read the manga online after I come back from camp though. 

So, why the fuss when I can decide NOT to go for camp? It's because I wanna have as much fun as I can before busy and stressful school life starts again. I'm thinking I'm going to have a hard time in the beginning to adapt to that kind of 'study lifestyle' again, especially since I've been living a no-stress, no worry, do-what-I-like life for like more than half a year. Everyday, it's at least 10 hours of sleep for me. There's like, no way I'd wake up after sleeping only 8 hours. Wahaha. The life~ xD Other than the long list of camp restrictions that I listed above, I'm actually pretty much looking forward to the FOC.. and the seniors seem to have planned it all out very mysteriously. They only sent us an invitation to attend 'The Exhibition', and made it seem as if we were going to attend only some art event when in actual fact that itself is the FOC. So, in other words, I have no idea what I'll be getting at camp. Oooh~ How exciting!! xD

Right!! Back to Inuyasha anime! I'm thinking I won't be updating again until at least after camp. Oh oh!! And Inuyasha OSTs are just brilliant. Just awesome. So very very good. Kaze no Kizu!!!! *smashes everything with my katana* =D

Yet another piece of inspiration would be to create a Pokemon fan site...!! I've been such a loyal Pokemon fan for almost 10 years already, and yet I haven't even started on any Pokemon site. I did try though; but I stopped working on it halfway through because there was just so much Pokemon info in my mind that I became quite lazy to sort out all that huge information and organise them neatly into webpages. However, moments ago, I came up with a rather simple and general way of sorting out all that information to create a Pokemon fan site.... So maybe, just maybe, I might be starting a Pokemon fan site soon. 

*cough cough*

Shit. Why won't the cough go away?!?! It's been more than a week and the cough is still persisting... and it isn't some mild cough either. I can't sing, I can't speak properly, I can't eat all that I wanna eat. =( I can't go out either; I went out yesterday and had to face an embarrassing feat of coughing like a choked hyena in puclic!! I hope I'll recover before orientation starts!! My mum says that she'll take me to the doctor again, since I'm not recovering even after taking so many tablets and two big bottles of cough mixture. I hate medicine, I really do. The tablets are bitter and the flavour of the cough mixture stays inside my mouth despite rinsing. Why on earth must I get an asthmatic bronchitis relapse at this point in time?? 

*cough cough cough* 

I want fried chicken wings and fish & chips.... '_'

I swear, I will NEVER ever attend anything as long as you are the one who's organising it. Since you don't even believe in what I say when I cannot make it for events that you organise, it's alright if you think it's an excuse or whatsoever. Next time, I won't even bother explaining to you and I'll just say that I DO NOT want to go. And by the way, it is entirely up to me to decide whether or not I want to go or not; I am not the kind to be forced to do things that I don't want to. It's no wonder not even your secondary school mates wants to celebrate your birthday (be glad that there are one or two who's willing to); with that kind of insincerity you have for your friends and only stupidly and naively sticking to your boyfriend. No wonder you are on the verge of being ditched by him. I used to be quite tolerant because I find you so pitiable, but I think from now on, no more. I am not going to pity you because I think it's because of your sticky and over-possessive character that the relationship is now like that. You reap what you sow. 

I really regret having known a friend like you. I am not as kind as Xinyi, and I'm not going to hold back being honest whenever you speak about others like that. Therefore, I am cutting all ties with you. We may or may not meet in university, but it's definite that we won't be in the same course or anything. This may sound childish (like the typical kiddy style "I don't want to friend you" kinda thingy), but I'm serious. I tried not to think about it, but the hot-blooded me has my own limit and patience. 

You are truly a scary person indeed. And I from this moment on do not wish to have anything to do with you ever again. What a 'friend' eh. 

Phew, I feel better ranting all that out. Back with my own business.

Several tiny little things happened.. 
Firstly, my sister downloaded the latest PSP version of Bleach 6 and has kindly transferred it into mine and her PSP... though I have this odd feeling that she's gonna thrash me again when we versus each other some time in the future. I wonder why she's always better than me when it comes to games...... ah, no wait, there is a game that I am better than her at.. Perhaps playing Time Crisis II in the arcade would be my best bet against her. Wahaha. 

Secondly, I've been practising piano lately, and I feel that the timing for Melody of Agony is getting better. With that, I'm only referring to the left-right-hands coordination. Overall, I'm still playing it at a rather slow pace - absolutely no expression and emphasis on the word 'Agony'. Hahaha. But with practice I believe it'll someday work out for me. Yay! お！がんばろうぜ！Together with Melody of Agony and my homework pieces from my piano lessons, I tried Goong's Ice Palace last night and the timing sucks. I couldn't even properly play past the first page! omg. Try harder. 

Thirdly, I'm gonna talk a bit about the 1E3/2E3 gathering last Saturday. It was quite a success considering that 16 people turned up for the BBQ dinner at Seoul Garden, Bugis. Mostly were girls (about two thirds), and a third were guys. Although we stunk like hell after staying for more than 3 hours inside Seoul Garden, it was really fun meeting up with people whom you've not seen for a few years, talking, catching up with one another's life.. It felt really good. I was initially afraid that it might end up being a no-interaction kinda event (given that most of us haven't met up for the longest time), but fortunately it didn't turn out to be so. =D

Oh yeah! I'm going to Penang tomorrow night and will only be back on Sunday or Monday.. ack, I'm gonna eat till my heart's content there! Ahh~ the highly unhygienic intestinal porridge, beef noodles, asam laksa, a-pom, shredded chicken noodles, char kuay teow, chee cheong fun... OMG OMG OMG! xD

First it was Davinia (a feminine version of 'David'), and my family started calling me Gardenia bread since. Gardenia is actually a really nice name too, but too bad it has that bakery stigma attached to it. =(  Then came a few more like Mya and Marcie, and my mum said Mya sounded like 'Meowth' from Pokemon, and Marcie, in Cantonese, sounded very much like 'horse shit'. Sonya is a pretty Russian name but my mum said it's so similar to this health product called 'Sonia'. =_= 

I really liked Marcie, but I think I'll have to drop it because I live in a Cantonese-speaking family (not to mention, my relatives speak Canonese too... everyone). I just want a name that isn't common, but still sounded nice when I attach my family name to it. 

Right now, these three names have caught my attention (after meticulously picking them out) and I hope my mum get any funny ideas about these names anymore LOL. Here: Petra, Jeanna, and Gweneth. 

Oh my, me wanting to find a name for myself makes me feel like I'm a character from the anime 'Monster', where the brainwashed kids of Kinderhilm 511 look for a name.. The Monster without a Name.. etc. How cool. xD

For some reason, I think I've kinda lost my touch for blogging, because nowadays when I've got so much happening around me, I don't even know how to pen it all down. So for this entry, I'm just gonna briefly keep a record of what I've been up to lately. Hehs. 

With regards to music, I've been practising Final Fantasy Crisis Core's Melody of Agony... although my playing doesn't really show any agony at all because I'm too skill-less to play it as fast and angry as the original. But nonetheless, that piece is soooo brilliant that I can't help but challenge myself to it. I will work harder!! =D 

As for dramas, I'm currently watching the Korean drama Ijimae, and I think Lee Jun Ki is sooooo HOT. LOL. I started watching the series late last night until I was forced to go to bed early by my mum, so I'll continue from episode 3 later after lunch... 

Hmmm. I realise... that recently I've gotten very interested in interior design (put the modern designs away; I'm only interested in cottage, celtic and the Japanese minimalist styles). I get so inspired by the design books that I borrowed from the library and I just can't wait to redesign my room after my dad gets his CPF. *eyes on my dad's money* LOL!! 

Oh, and maybe if I have time I will redesign the layout for The Miyo Miyo too. 
Gonna get busy with my things now, bye bye~

Overall, it was quite an experience for me, especially since I haven't worked before. Meeting and having to serve a bunch of adults was no problem for me because I was used to this kind of service since secondary school. Being in the Prefectorial Board has given me lots of opportunities like this and so I had no trouble going around strangers. Wahaha. All I needed to focus on was to maintain my balance when I was carrying the food and drinks. 

But oh gosh. My aching arms. How am I gonna play the piano later?!

I'm not a great designer or whatsoever, but I'm going to give it a shot and I hope it turns out fine! I get a feeling that I'm really ambitious right now.. 

Right! I shall start clearing the mess on my table (or rather, I'm gonna just dump whatever's on my desk to the floor), and start drawing!! Colours ahoy! xD

Right, so I've been wearing my Pikachu shirt since yesterday, and until today I refuse to change it out. It doesn't stink and whatsoever and I just can't help but stare at my shirt all day, so I'm perfectly fine with wearing the same shirt for two days. It's so cute!! Gyah~~! o(>v<)o  And it's 100% cotton, so it's very comfortable. Plus the fact that I bought this shirt from Tokyo's Pokemon Centre makes me love wearing this shirt even more! It's like, Pokemon merchandise from the Pokemon land of origins. Wahaha! 

Gosh there's so many things to do, but I'm not getting started yet because I'm feeling really lazy right now. For piano lessons, I've got 5 new songs to learn by the next lesson, which is Thursday; the number of unread manga piling on my table is towering week by week, and even after I finish reading all of them, there's this space problem because my manga shelves are already packed like sardines and I need to find time to organise my manga soon (maybe get rid of the manga bought from Malaysia since the printing isn't good and the paper quality doesn't even satisfy me in the least). Not to mention the many anime series and drama series that have been on hiatus since a month ago. 

Well, quite a number of people have told me that I'm rotting at home (since I don't work and I don't intend to work), but actually, I'd rather be pursuing my interests and doing the things that I hadn't got the chance to do because of school and the A levels last year. Now that I got accepted into NTU's Art, Design and Media course, I believe I'm gonna be really, really busy once school starts. I've read some horror stories from the ADM forum (like, working till 3am when deadlines are near...?!), but I think it's gonna be real fun too since I like what I'm going to study in my 4 years in NTU. And I'm also getting really excited about NTU's compulsory unrestricted electives... I heard we can take up courses like music, drama, opera singing, or even learn a new language! I can see myself taking up music courses (SINGING IS A MUST), drama, and maybe learn Japanese. Now, this makes 3 subjects/modules to make up the 9AUs. 

Shit, but why do I have to take up modules from Science, Technology and Society?! I guess not everything comes nice and to my taste all the time. *bleah* 

I'm going for late lunch soon! So, bye-nee!!

And I've come up with this whole new way of updating my entries... like, notice the avatar at the side of the title above? Each avatar will feature a Lucky Star character with an expression that's similar to my current mood and feelings. 

I've got a feeling this layout will last as long as the pink Chobits layout just before the previous orange tulip version. This layout turned out to be quite the cutie in my opinion; pretty colourful and cute. And the whole site is themed under the Lucky Star anime, except for the entries. Look at all the Lucky ----... hahaha. For those who have watched the anime would know. Lucky Channel, things like "Oha-Lucky!", "Bye-nee!" etc. So cute. xD 

It's getting late so... 
Will update the site again tomorrow! =D
