[Current Music |James Morrison feat. Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings]

As usual, another random posts full of late entries and the likes. And of course, with pictures as PROOF. I'll start off with the earliest interesting event to the latest so... yeah. Please do read on. May not captivate your heart but lets just say... for the sake of entertainment and my honest opinions? Yeah. Read on peeps.



5th September 2009, Saturday

It was a really nice Saturday. Besides, my friend Sue wanted to go to Sunway Pyramid to meet her friend so she invited me and my roommate Koree if we wanted to tag along. Heck. It's Sunway Pyramid, who doesn't wanna go? Well Sunway Pyramid is, if I'm not mistaken, the largest shopping center in Malaysia situated in Sunway area of Selangor. It takes you roughly a day to finish walking the whole place. Big it is, trust me. Damn big. Freaking big that it has a pile of big cement entirely crafted into a Sphinx right in front of it. Wish I could take picture of it but our best friend Google would be able to help.


Had Rocky (Yea, Pocky made NOT in Japan) for breakfast. That red devil is Wanpaku. A gift from my good friend. Cute little evil thing.



Okay, so we went there. Had our lunch. And Sue had to entertain her friends so Koree and I went for a walk on our own. It's my second time there. And before this we had my aunt to drive us there. Now we had to wait for the bus to bring us there. Well, it's kinda great that there's actually a bus route to Sunway but craaaap, the long wait nearly killed me. I didn't do much shopping since I didn't carry that much cash on me. Plus once I pull out some, there's this weird chain reaction where I will continue to pull out once I find something interesting. Not good for my purse. So we just walked around, window shopping, looking at the people skating in the ice ring/rink? Whatever. We see several dudes trying to show off their skating skills as they did some grand personal solo performance in the middle of so many crowds.


iPhone and some other exhibition in the center of the Blue Atrium. Cute huge iPhone hahah.
Those little icon cube seats are even cuter.


Not much interesting stuff you can find here except hundreds of shopping stores and boutiques. But then we saw a huge commotion and went in to sniff whats the commotion was about. And here are some of the pictures that I took. That was actually people crowding around local artist, S. Amin Shahab. He was there with a mission to draw 1001 faces of Malaysian to represent our country for the Independence Day on 31st August, 2009. Guess he didn't get to complete all 1001 on time huh?



Life Drawing. o.O Awesomeness.


Okay this time I crept behind him to get this picture. He don't mind. :D




Even nearer this time, hahaha.



A sample of his many drawings that was placed on the walls during his exhibition.
All drawn with ink pen on canvas.



A shot of one walls of the many walls. Detailed works.




Another shot of a corner of his drawings.




And that's that. Got tired of walking around, I've decided to taste the Takoyaki (Octopus Ball fried in a special pan) which I missed during my first visit. I thought it was nice. From the looks of it. Besides, the Japanese manga always shows them enjoying eating takoyaki like its the best thing in the world so why not. But to my dismay, it was horrible. Seriously. The ball was kinda big. Even bigger then the circle you can form with your thumb and your point finger, and what makes it worst is that the content, which is the octopus is just as small as your thumb. And what makes it so gross to eat is that it's so damn soft. They are supposed to be hard enough to be picked up with a toothpick, and this doesn't last long then 10 seconds. What was it? Rm4.50 for only 2 of them? If I see who made the brilliant idea to make bad quality takoyaki I'm so going to destroy him right on the spot.

'Tis sucks.



21st November 2009, Saturday


Another great day with the sign of rain in late evening. It was our first outing to KL for this semester. Whats with all those stresses, assignments and presentations. Now that's all gone, I've decided to chillax for a day after so long with friends Koree, Chain and Allen. So I told them I wanna watch 2012 while we hang around KLCC Suria. KLCC Suria is the shopping mall area below the Petronas Twin Towers, which is the world's current 5th tallest building. And what's more, Koree also told us that there's this ACGC supposedly held there. Well yeah, like they say, 2 birds in one stone eh? Or so I thought.

We went there and managed to arrive around noon. Went straight to the cinema and oohh it was so daaamn crowded. But still, there's nothing to rush for so we just waited and queued and eventually managed to get seats for the 5:15pm 2012 screening. Talk about packed weekends. And all those popcorners. Popcorners yeah. We had lunch, and Koree led us the way to where the ACGC was supposed to be held and only to find out that the event has been postponed to early 2010. o.O Shocking! But well well, nothing to lose there either. We can still kill some time in Kinokuniya. Great place to be if you like the smell of books that is. But before that we hang around the KLCC Park strolling around doing nothing while Chain and I were busy capturing random stuffs with my Tsubasa, Nikon D40.

A random upward shot of the KLCC Convention Centre.



Hidden Twin Towers.



And then it started to drizzle. So we head back in and well, before entering Kinokuniya i wanted to pay the toilet a visit. But I just don't understand why there's actually a queue in the female public toilets. And it's pretty long. So we head to the toilet on the next floor and it was the Premiere Toilet. Premiere Toilet. Premiere. Now that reminds me. I still remember how vividly me and my aunt used to laugh at the existence of Premiere Toilets. Never knew the reason why it existed, and how unique these places are since I'm never going to enter one. So okay, on this day I entered one, coz I'm too lazy to walk to the next floor and to find that there's another long queue. Premiere Toilet or not I don't care. Went in, paid Rm2, the hm.. toilet cashier by the toilet smiled in her hmmm... black suit as she handed me this wet tissue and I went in.



Yeah. Wet tissue. Cute bed sheet eh?


And what's so unique about this Premiere Toilet compared to normal toilets is that, well, besides the smartly-dressed servicers, the toilet smells pleasant at all times. Well that is good rather than smelling ammonia. The toilet cubes will also be cleaned at once after a person has finished using them. Well well that sounds good too. And lastly, okay, not so sure if they are washing liquid or face cream or lotion, but there at the sink, there's this row of above mentioned thing you can choose from. And from what I heard from Chain, in the male toilet they would inquire customers whether they want a spray of perfume before leaving the toilet. Hmmmmmmm.

Premiere Toilet aside, we went straight to Kinokuniya to smell the fragrance of books. At first I wanted to just look around, flipping through random picture books or maybe just get myself some reading materials from Tony Parson or Roald Dahl or Haruki Murakami, but then in the Chinese section I dug out a small shelf area where there put all the artbooks. Artbooks. Yea. There's works from Benjamin from China, the one who uses bold colours? Then there's some other picture book from some animes I don't really recognise. And fortunately, I dug out Shel-Yang's 2 artbooks o.O Whoa whee. Lucky me. Shel-Yang, great illustrator who hails from Beijing. She has an account in DeviantArt too, <a href="http://shel-yang.deviantart.com">*shel-yang</a> which is full of amazing works.



Oooooh me treasures! :D I'm officially a happy kid.


Okay. So after that we went to catch our 2012 movie. One words. Tear-jerker. 2012 may be about world's end, but that's not really what I'm worried about. What I'm concerned about is that the great family moments and woo unexpected dramatic deaths that nearly forced me to cower and cry myself in my seat in between my knees. I don't know how many times I cried but surely lots of time compared to the tears that I shed in my past. Yeah. 2012.



22nd November 2009, Sunday

Good things come from one to another. o.O There's this huge book exhibition, hm no no, grand book selling event in The Mines called 'Shu Xiang' literally means 'Scent of Books'. It was grand. Lots of books. Chinese books though. Which is not really my thing. My friend pre-ordered her books already so she just went there to pick her books up while I stroll around the places looking for place of interest. Luckily they don't just sell novels and books with no pictures at all. I was lucky to find a big shelf of manga translated into Chinese language. And what literally surprised me was that as I walked straight to the shelf, I was sooooo happy to find that those are not your normal manga. Hahahahahah! Not your normal manga I say. When I say that I mean books from the dark dark dark dark world. Dark dark dark dark world. Yeah. Alright, I'll just show you guys what books did I get my hands on.


You've been warned. Explicit content. Books from the dark dark dark dark world.



Okay. Let's start with the top row from the left. That's Shimotsuki Kairi's Heaven's Love. It's the thickest of the 6 books that I think looks decent from the cover. And who knows, that's my least favourite one. Hard rock fashion and ridiculously suggestive names. Next we have Madarame Hiro's Kawaii Akuma. Nice cover I must say. The characters look kinda cute inside. But once he grew up to be a real man he's not really my type anymore. Hahaha. Still, nice drawing. Lots of annoying characters inside too. Next would be Dolce by Kitazawa Kyou. It has this westernish bishies style of drawing, and well yeah, its about bishies working in an Italian restaurant. Okay for me. The next row from left would be Takarai Saki's Katsubou no Manazashi. Uh wah. Cute uke that one. Totally reminds me of Cloud. LOL. Hey don't look funnily at that uncle. He was drawn based on Brad Pitt!! Okay lol. Next is my favourite of them all, Hori Tomoki's Ake Nure Gorou ni Furu Yuki wa. Whoa the long title. I don't think I even understand what it means even in Chinese. Nice clean drawing. Nice story. Nice seme for one who has beard and mustache since I'm not really fond of those type. And that uke looks like Athrun Zala from Gundam Seed. o.O Nice naming sense too. But whats with the name Maddox anyway. Is it Maddox or Murdoch? Anyway he looks like my friend. Hahahaha. Okay last but not least, Otsuki Miu's Eien no Shicigatsu. It has a different title in Chinese called 'Couple Game'. Why do they change the title? Eternal July sounds much more promising than Couple Game...

Right. 6 for Rm48. So that's Rm8 per book. To me that's already a worth investment since back in my place you can get those book by paying extra Rm3-4 to when I get them here. I say it's worth it. Plus they are all good books. Though Heaven's Love not really my kinda thing.. whatever. All in all, those books are great.



Random inserts.

Some random shots that have been taken on various times and locations.

An upward shot of Pavilion. A high-class shopping center in the heart of KL.



Pavilion Cake in front of the entrance. Celebrating their 1st anniversary.


18th October 2009, Sunday


Melon Cream Soda bought from Daiso. And my laptop called Cookie. Trust me I'm not enjoying.
That thing on the screen is my animation btw.

Short trip to the beach! [Aug. 28th, 2009|01:01 am]

To whomever is taking their precious time to read my really random and crappy journal, thank you for reading this. Really. You make my really rare happy entry post even more meaningful. *grins*

Yes, you heard me right. It's time for me to post a journal entry, and whats more, its a more... positive journal with lots of photos that I've taken without any alteration in Photoshop (except one or two). Actually, what motivated me to write a new entry in my journal is the good feedback that I've gotten from my Animation Methodology 2 class this evening. I've completed my rough animatic, which is a rough, sketchy and basic idea of the animation that I'm going to produce and present at the end of this semester. I spent almost all of my time since Monday's Drawing for Animation 2 class doing the animatic and I'm really proud how it turned out to be. The dis-proportion characters, background-less and sketchy effects aside, I managed to get my concept across after struggling with drawing digitally onto the computer screen through tablet. My lecturer gave me a good feedback on it this evening so I'm really glad it worked out. *smiles*


11th June 2009 - Trip to Damai Beach, Kuching!

I apologize for the really late post of the trip. Heck, no ones reading, why bother? It was about a few days after I've reached Kuching, Sarawak from Kuala Lumpur during the last semester break. And of course, my genius brother suggested that we go to Damai Beach to chillax for a bit, and of course, it means family bonding taaaaaaim. Luckily I asked my mum to bring my Tsubasa (Ah. FYI, that's the name of my Nikon D40 :D) over so I can capture some random pictures while we're at it. Lots of random pictures. Really.
 
 

 

Here we are. Damai Beach Resort!



The descension to the beach.



My little brother and sister had gone to explore the area first.
Beautiful wind in the hair, Ya. Beautiful.



And before I get down to feel the sand inbetween my toes, I
took the opportunity to snap a photo of my brother, who seemed pretty melancholy that day.
Probably regretting over forgetting his flip-flops.



The path taken by many.



The ever unconnected earth and sea.



This was totally random. But I kinda like the really low angle and the visible sky.



Jimmy and Yaya are happy kids. Happy kids. Hey ya, whats with that
handphone in your hand?



Jimmy and his silly little dance.



Some kids playing beach ball in the water.



The incoming calm waves.



The interesting roots-like mark from the waves.



I am fascinated by rocks. Yes I am.



The ever unconnected earth and sea II.



Thats the Damai Beach Resort. Of course, we didn't stay there. I said short trip didn't I?



The undone sandcastle built by some kids earlier.



Ooh. Yaya's sexy legs. But what I'm trying to focus here is the glass bottle. Silly bois.



Happy kid, people. Happy kid.



But quit texting on your phone by the beach. It's family taaaaaaim.



picture by Jimmy.
Thats me holding onto the glass bottle. What. It's me posing. :p



Okay. It's time to return to the shades. And yes, thats a really cool shades you have on, mum.
And a really pensive looking brother at the background. Still can't get over the flip-flops huh?



picture by Jimmy.
Thats dad. Looking sad as well. I'm not so sure what got into the guys that day. They say
men is the child of the sea (?) Is that it?



"Silence is virtue (?) ..."



"I'm not going to say anything..."



"Okay! That's it dork! Give me that freaking camera!"

 
As if. Aaaanyway, those dialogues that you've seen under the pictures are made up serving as the sole purpose of entertaining and making this journal more fun to read. <.<

Thats that. Thank you for reading this!

The first drop upon arriving hometown. [Jun. 13th, 2009|01:19 am]
[Tags|]
[Current Mood | annoyed]
[Current Music |Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight]

We departed from Kuching as early as 10am right after my little sister and I had our last meal of Uncle Alex's kolok mee ang (That's Kuching specialty by the way, gotta taste it for yourself to know it). We didn't stop anywhere to get our breakfast since mum bought lots of junk food the day before. Plus I'm not quite in the mood to be eating stuff since my jaw is aching.

We arrived safely in Miri 10 hours later, at around 8pm. Grabbed a quick dinner at Survey area, which is pretty close to our home. Honestly speaking, nothing changed here. Well, at least at where my home is close to. Not sure about the city central but I guess there's nothing you can add there except Big Apple Donut and Starbucks, from which I saw on the updated boxes of Big Apple Donut.

Well anyway, thats not the point. By the time I arrived home, and for some reason I totally forgotten that my room was and has been occupied my stinky of a little brother and little sister which do not have any sense of arrangement and cleanliness. And I was half shocked, but also half expected that my room was crying out the invisible 'HELP' the moment I swung the door open. My bed was in a mess, my closet was trashed like criminal's wardrobe, pile of PC Gamer magazine on my table, coffee table topped with textbooks and laptop cooler, the bottle which Sonia gave me for my birthday present used and scratched with the bottom turned yellowish, my Wing Gundam Zero Custom HG model in its worst state ever and as if the place hasnt been cleaned from the moment I went to KL.

There are moments where I really wanted to shout 'You guys really fucked up my already complicated life!" and where my stupid little brother will come into the conversation and say something stupid. Every students who just spent few weeks before having their eyes bulging out of their sockets staying up late trying to pass up their assignments and complete their finals deserve a place called home, and one which is comfortable and eases our already tangled heads. And unfortunately, my home is nothing like it. Totally nothing. It's more like a refugee's campsite. The only welcoming thing is the sight of excited Droopy and Bruno, the dogs of our home.

Why? University life is already as fucked up as it is with lecturers betraying one another and even draggings we students into the possibilty of not being able to pass or do well in this semester, and now I return home I'm in charge of helping others releasing stresses when I'm the one who needs to release most of the stresses?

I need to get a real life pretty soon. My life sucks and fucked up everywhere I go. Sorry for the rudeness but I just need to spill out everything. It doesn't matter who is or who's not reading.

self analyzing and end results. [May. 11th, 2009|10:15 pm]

[Current Mood | lazy]
[Current Music |Do As Infinity - Faces]

Ever since I crawled out from my I-think-I'm-cool-so-I'll-hide-in-the-corner-of-the-room period since secondary school 2 years ago I vowed to myself to be a more better person. I thought with hair covering half of my face was cool and putting up a really sad and pitiful face was the 'in thing' but only to find that I'm no different than being such a big emo. After a hard knock of reality to the head couple of years ago only then I realise I've been living such sad life locking myself in the room indulging in anime songs the whole time and not bothering socializing with my friends with no care of the world unless there are free food or nice food offered in front of me.

A really good friend of mine, whom I've met during this time, gradually changed me to become the person that I am today. Well, maybe some of my attitudes are still intact but my meeting with her has given a whole new perspective on life. She showed me that there's a much more enjoyable and happier life in reality rather than just sticking your face flat on to the screen watching animes and listening to songs the hell you would understand what are they singing about. No no, don't get me wrong, it's not that watching anime and indulging yourself with the song that comes with it is bad, I still listen to them from time to time but she just made me realise that living in the fake world of fantasy for too long wouldn't do me any good at all. I still remember dressing up like the guys in the anime was really cool, and I've decided to abandon all girly and ladies clothings and started to dress up like a really emo Japanese guy, covering myself with long sleeves and dragging myself around in really baggy trousers in a country that doesn't even snow. I still remember buying a long sleeved turtleneck and went to church on a really hot Sunday morning with it. O.o A sign that I've gone cookoo in the head.

But meeting this really great friend of mine slowly peels that part of me off and I'm starting to regain the lady in me which i've lost to 6 years ago. But putting my wardrobe contents aside, the most important thing is she taught me how to be a better person. Not everyone is perfect, and she's not the most perfect person I've known in my life but hey, at least she knows what shes doing with her life and she knows herself even more than her own parents can tell. The respect that I have for her, I salute you girl. Graduated from secondary school with a reason of 'don't get too close to anyone if I don't want trouble' I try not to be the happiest person in the world. But she pointed directly at parts where I tried to hide from the world bullseye and even pointed at my shortcomings sometimes by dropping the cold bomb at me. And I thought I was the world's most normal girl! From this friendship it made me realise that there's always a chance for improvement and I'm glad she found me earlier before it's too late.

"It's always better if there's somebody who would tell you the wrong things you have done rather than no one to tell you at all. At least you will know that in some point of your life you might have hurt somebody else's feelings even though you didn't mean it, and this gives you a chance to improve yourself in the future,"

I have to agree with her totally. I guess being tossed with reality right in front of your face rather than having people gossiping about it with a bunch of friends in Starbucks behind your back is better huh.

Now that I've reached KL, I tried making new friends with this new me and try to make people happy by being a happy person. Well, things don't usually go as smooth as you might think it'd be of course. I get to see a whole new horizon of people, personalities, attitudes and the egos that i've never seen back in my hometown. As expected of the capital, things are much more fast-paced here, living qualities are pretty high, people could even be as rude as your butt hole for all the care. Even worse, I'm currently living with a reflection of my old self.

Oooh, that brings back memories. Anime songs singing in language that I can barely understand what are they trying to sing but the music is so damn good, watching animes with a lot of big-headed short girls with huge puppy eyes and innocent look that just give off the 'kawaii ne~' vibe, buying CD and DVD boxes of anime worth about RM80+ each just for a few episodes, is silent all the time but will strike a conversation that revolves around anime and manga. OHHH GAAAAAAAAWD SOMEBODY SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I didn't know I was actually even much worse now that I can see the actual thing right in front of my face ARRGGHHH. We barely strike a proper girl-to-girl conversation like how my girl buddies will do whenver we hang out for a chat in the coffee shop since she's always plugged with the earphone the whole time browsing about things God knows she's searching. Now I can clearly see how boring a person I was back then. Now that I've seen some clear changes on me I told my brother about it.

"Is that so? I thought you're not even pleasant to talk to last time,"




end of analysation. result = I was boring to death.

[Current Mood | drained]
[Current Music |John Mayer - Back to You]

Hello there to all my invisible readers! (What a way to coax myself from using the word 'non-existent')

Anyway, I havent been updating for at least 1 month, and this time I come with nothing but complains and feelings of how I've spent my previous weeks being beaten to bits emotionally and physical by staying up late in consecutive days in weeks and getting my head make buzzing and whirring sound that even causes my head to lose its proper function for a period of time. Half of the reason must be blamed on the lecturer however, for giving us a totally inhumane tasks and placing too much of a hope and standard on us, and expecting us to follow every command when there are some cold feud going on between some of the lecturer that are lecturing us, unable to decide should we follow lecturer A or lecturer B.

I'm an animation student taking diploma programme, currently in my 3rd year. But just so you know, even when I'm in 3rd year, the past 2 years we have been undergoing most useless crap by having the same class as the graphic design students. We're only served with the right menu only after we entered out 3rd year, and now they are expecting us to behave like a graduating student of an animation student taking degree programme. What the f**k? Can you not teach us basics at least in a proper teaching method before you throw us into our pit of agony making animation just for the sake of humouring you stoopid lecturers?

Not just that, there's even some cold shoulder treatments and boycotts going on in between the lecturers which is too obvious since they are even gossiping and badmouthing and backstabbing other lecturer in english for godamn's sake in front of students. Then we have timid arse licker who keeps talking about how bad the other one is but doesnt even dare to say it straight in the head and discuss together like an adult how to uniform all the requirements for how a storyboard and layout should be produced.

I'm so sick I can't stand it. Undeniably, they do have the skills and are qualified enough to be an animation lecturer, but in my bloody honest opinion, I dont think they are qualified to be MY lecturer with that sort of attitude. Here I am thinking my future job is on the line, and my goal is to get the basic animation techniques nailed down. I was thinking of continuing degree but I have second thoughts now.

ACGC in Tropicana City Mall [Mar. 23rd, 2009|03:43 pm]

ACGC in Tropicana City Mall
(Anime . Comic . Games Convention)


Held in Tropicana City Mall, Petaling Jaya on 21st-22nd March (Sat and Sun) was my first ever anime and manga convention I ever attended in my life, for real. You can call me noob for all I care but I'm screaming HELL YEAH over here. XP Though because of its very very wrong choice of location (in an incomplete building to say the least, sheesh) not a lot of people attended the event. At first I wasn't so sure why did the MC seemed a little disappointed at the number of cosplayers who are going to compete, and well now I understand. The event started at around 3pm but before the event begins I did manage to take some photos with some of the cosplayers. The funny thing about the first thing I did right after I saw the cosplayers around was I saw Tsuna (Sawada Tsunayoshi from KHR) with Bianchi, Hibari and supposedly Yamamoto surrounding him. Following the inner scream inside, I walked over and my first photoshoot was with a KHR group. Was pretty excited, and the excitement mainly came from the sight of Hibari >__<

I took some photos of the cosplayers before the event started, while the photos during the event was taken by my more obsessed friend with my handphone. I deeply regret I didn't bring my DSLR Tsubasa now. If I had we wouldn't be pushed to the back like smallfries instead for owning a camera enough standard to go to the frontline XD



Amane Misa and I.
I'm really sorry if my presence beside your beautiful Misa makes you slash the screen but I like it XP

Nnoitra vs Ichigo. EPIC BATTLE EVAR.


 
It is truly an excitement to have met cosplayers that ARE GOOD, and I really mean good. I don't wanna be too bias or choosy but my personal favourite has gotta be Reno and Black Star. Those guys are awesome and they even act like their characters. Too bad I didn't get the chance to take a picture with them *sobs* Reno came in pretty late and I couldn't find Black Star (You've got a ninja right there). There were some other cosplayers who aren't in the competition, and some of them are really good as well, to be more specific Kagamine Len and Kaito. I will either abduct them or steal their clothes when they're not noticing because they definitely did a great job putting music synthesizers to life.

The event was scheduled to end till 9pm. But we left at around 5:30pm to catch the bus and train back home or else I'm going to be stuck in the place with no help at all. Was wondering what kind of performance did Reno do for the audience? Anyway, not going home empty handed, I also purchased an artbook called 'gift' Prologue edition which features all kinds of talented artists in and out, mainly with their base set up in DevArt. It was RM35 but its worth it. Some of the artworks in there are really enjoyable and I might just learn a skill or two from observing. :D

Overall my visit to ACGC was great. I just can't stop fretting about not bringing my D40 Tsubasa or else I could've gotten more pictures of higher quality. I wouldn't even find me trouble just to get to the front row to get upclose. ~.~

Manga Hunt 2 + Trip to KL [Mar. 20th, 2009|09:04 am]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Mood | stressed]
[Current Music |Carrie Underwood - Jesus, Take the Wheel]

Actually, before I came to KL almost a month ago, I managed to hang out with Esther to have our last treasure hunting before class starts. But because of the limited numbers of new shipped books available (unless you live in the capital), almost all the good books available on the shelves have been dug out by us. Though I did manage to find 3 books, which 2 of them were worth digging. First off, when I walked around the place I could only find old yaois. Some of them were sold in a set, which costs a lot so I tried looking and looking at the same spot over and over again. My eyes were fixed on Nekota Riko's Heart de Yowasete (totally different cover than the original release). The drawing style totally reminded me of pepu for a reason, so I thought I'd give it a try even though the characters were shown using fancy flower printed clothes which was questionable to my purse and my eyeballs.

Then Esther and I raised our head upward to stare longingly at the unopened treasure on the shelf, which are exposing their beautiful covers so straight at us. We've been looking at the area for so long and yet they still haven't place it down to the display area so we thought we'd go and bug the shopkeeper and ask her if she can take those books down, which she did. There I found 2 aforementioned treasures by Hanada Mako for her work Tsuki no Kakera. Surprisingly, her drawing style really resembles Lily Hoshino for the exception of the way she draw the eyes. The cover really really shiny and pretty and the story is really adorable. Then the other one would be Sakamoto Mano's Kawaii. The cover was really refreshing to see, and her drawing style is raw and sketchy. Quirky maybe. A collection of shonen ais but that will do. To kill boredom, I also bought a set of shoujo by Saitou Rin, Sekai wo Teki ni Mawashite mo. A very interesting story about a girl, her brother-in-law, her sister-in-law and her best pal, which is a guy. A little hint of incest right there but I can assure you the ending is a happy one. Maybe bittersweet but it's all good. They said there's a really cool manga shop inside KLCC which was opened by a fellow Japanese, so if I do have a chance to go there, I'm so going to that place. There should be some good stash of treasure worth searching for.

2 weeks ago when we had an extended holiday, I went to KL with some friends to look for a tablet which is needed for our assignments + shopping a little bit. We went for lunch first in The Ramen House in Times Square before we head to Sungei Wang. We stopped by a store where they sell all kinds of goods related to anime and I spotted the Chrono Cross OST CD collection by Yasunori Mitsuda. OMG. There were 3 cds inside and the songs were all gorgeous (from playing experience, best game EVAR) so I went ahead to buy it. It pulled out RM30+ out from my pocket but I don't mind spending money on rare find. And then we visited the bookstore Bashmeer. They were looking for design books so I was just browsing in between the thick and expensive books when I spotted a hidden book just at the shelf beside the counter. It was an illustrated comic by Jidi, a female artist from Beijing, China with an award winning book called My Way. It's only RM15. RM15 for an award winning book in the middle of expensive sea of books. It was really pretty, with all the paintings done digitally, and the story was really touching as well. it's really worth reading though you have to be able to read traditional Chinese to understand the inside.

Assignments are practically killing me at the moment. Although we only have 6 subjects, with 1 minor theoretical subjects, the amount of assignments we have right now was as if I've taken 10 subjects. *dies* With most of them from Drawing for Animation and Animation Methodology. Some of them were just some touching up but the most horrifying part was when the lecturer wanted us to redo the whole damn thing. Talk about a tyrant. He was commenting and pointing out our stupid little mistakes during line test and he used the word 'redo'. What a heart breaker that guy is. With practically 7 assignments to catch up during the weekend I'm not even sure if I can attend the ACGC convention over in PJ this Sunday ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH.

Manga hunt and gold mine! [Feb. 5th, 2009|12:13 am]
[Tags|]
[Current Mood | ecstatic]
[Current Music |David Cook - A Daily Anthem]


Today was a very fruitful day! Actually the day started out with me getting out from bed practically at noon time. And heh, with my little brother and sister in school and my mum out to work, I'm left alone with the house and the lappie (which is stuffed with a lot of downloaded guilty pleasure goodies, if yaoi don't make sense to you). Just then I received a text from a very good friend of mine asking if I wanted to hang out with her to the bookshop. And when we mean bookshop, we with hesitation walk towards the bookshelves which are located at the back row to fish for our yaoi mangas.

2 years ago I stumbled upon these good stuffs through random search on the net, and I have remained the same way. But I think it was roughly mid last year, this friend of mine, whom I've get to know more after we realised that we are on the same boat told me that there are actually some bookshops which have these mangas on their bookshelves. Lucky me! You don't get to find people with the same kind of 'dark' hobby in my place, plus she came from the same city as me so I was really happy to talk about this great discovery with her and spread the shipping of GinHiji to her. :D 

But anyway, we went to this usual bookstore as they have quite a stash of yaoi collections. There are only 2 shelves with yaoi/shounen ai titles and they are mixed with pretty old mangas, old mangas and pretty recent mangas. My friend even got her hands on Lili Hoshino's Toritsu Mahou Gakuen, Aishichittano (which consists of 7 awesome oneshots, which mostly are shota-isque),  Hanamukou-san and its sequel Hanayome-kun (I like the sequel better because the latter pairing is just plain cute). Previously when we were still in Kuching I still remember she lent me another one by Sakurai Shushushu which goes by the title Yume Miru youni Dakaretai (which is about a middle age man being an uke against his younger subordinate XD).

The first visit (with the 'Grab Yaoi and Scram' mission in mind) to the bookstore, I was pretty lucky to stumble upon Tennouji Mio's Hyper Reality (which consists of doujinshi oneshots from Prince of Tennis, Naruto and Katekyo Hitman Reborn. But what grabbed my attention was the Inui x Kaidoh cover illustration *big grin*), Kyujyo Kiyo's Zone-00 (pretty angsty, and the illustrations are pretty messy but its BL-hinted) and the oh so mind boggling Inomoto Rikako's R-25 rated Body Talk. (A yummy collection of yaoi oneshots. You start with normal nosebleed as you flip through, but the last story will end with you spurting nosebleed *thumbs* This is definitely a great find).

Today we returned to that bookstore again, bearing the same hope in search of our happiness in the paradise, and I found Bikke's Shinkuu Yuusetsu (Shounen ai. And with that said, its all fluffy and sweet), and Honjou Rie's Ikura Nandemo Suki Sugiru (Although its a collection of 7 oneshots, the stories are pretty tasteful. That's Honjou for you :D) and another one titled Love Skit, which I have yet to unwrap. I'll deal with this slowly, hehehe.

But that was not all I spent my money on though. Few weeks ago I also managed to indulge myself into 2 very interesting shoujo mangas. There was this one manga which was done by Akizuki Sorata with the title Akagami no Shirayukihime. I found this in a manga rental store which I think were holding a manga clearance sell. Man you have to go there and see for yourself. They were practically selling off all those precious manga collections and by the time I got there, it was almost empty and mangas were all over the floor. All that was left was really old and some unpopular manga. But once again, I was pretty lucky to found a nicely wrapped and new manga by Akizuki Sorata. I only found the first volume, but I'm going to hunt down for the next 2 volumes and wait for its continuation. The story is really refreshing and sweet, the drawings are pretty simple but the clothings are really neat and detailed. It's a story of a very optimistic but brave heroine and a really sweet prince who is always watching over her. And guess what, all that with only RM0.50 out of my pocket. CHEAP. Manga (if you mean shoujo) in my place can be sold at around RM4-5 the least, and that was yet another great find. Oh, and did I mention BL mangas are sold at at least RM10+?

But not only that, we also found another manga paradise where I found Kazumi Yuana's 2-volume Kachin*Ko. And no, this has nothing to do with chinko and that sort of stuffs. I wouldn't say its really shoujo, but rather focuses on a film club of a certain school and the hardships that they went through before all of them manage to pull themselves together and realise that filming is their dream and its hard to let go of it. I was captivated by the water painting-isque cover illustration, and well, Kazumi did not fail me. I've decided that the next time I visit that 2nd bookstore, I'll hunt for more Akizuki's and Kazumi's.  It's hard to find really great mangas in my place. And even if you found one, they're all in old chinese (since all those are shipped from Taiwan). Well they might be Taiwan Chinese translated, but I don't mind that. I get to keep them, heeeh~

But sadly I can't show you guys the cover or the contents since I have no scanner. GUH. But all of the manga's information can be found on Baka-Updates. *winks*

Weird Dream Part 2 + Something about Ouran [Dec. 13th, 2008|01:53 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood | pensive]
[Current Music |Sakamoto Ryuichi - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence]

Aaah, now that I'm seated properly in front of my lappie back in my cozy home, I guess I can now calmly write out about what kind of dream I had a few weeks ago, which was also mentioned in my previously rushed journal entry.

Okay, now let me see... okay! So you guys still remember this one guy whom Sanosuke really respects when he ran away from home? (Not Kenshin, to make your option narrower) Yeah, that guy with the red headband. (And Takasugi Shinsuke Joui War version from Gintama takes a great resemblance of that character as well) Well, now that you might have remembered, the one I was dreaming of was this character, except that this person was the female version.

Things somehow lead to one thing to another and then there's this one strong looking girl came and carried this Takasugi-like-female on her back, and was jumping from trees to trees (like you usually see in Naruto) and eventually came to a stop on a very firm and thick branch in the middle of nowhere. And then this strong looking one said something like : "I'm really sorry for taking you to a place like this, but it might tough to do it here." And everything went blank here. (or rather my mind prefers not to remember what is going on at this time)

I woke up the next day and was thinking about the dream through whatever I was doing the whole day. I don't want to admit this because it might just make me look perverted or stupid but I still have to say it. I actually dreamt about yuri. Yuri of all options. As far as I'm aware of myself, I don't read yuri. (Yaoi is the more likely option, and I may have been reading through some yaoi before I went to sleep that night) And whats with that female version Takasugi?! *messes up hair* Argh, as far as I would like to remember every dream that I had, this is really something that I never actually thought of. And the more I think about it, I feel like pfffting at myself for being so pathetic to even type it out in the journal. *sighs* 

--

In order to entertaain myself during the holidays and to avoid getting bored from this hard-earned break, I've decided to continue catching up with Ouran High School Host club manga. The manga was awesome. This is the second time I've picked up a shoujo manga (with the first one being Gakuen Alice) and sacrificing my sleeping hours just trying to finish everything. I really love how the heroine, Haruhi is a very opinionated person who is not afraid of voicing out her character and being herself, not just blushing through every pages in every chapter. Or so I thought that was how its going to be until the end of the manga.

SPOILER ALERT!

Right now I'm heartbreakingly reading through chapter 62, where the awesome handsome, good looking and recently hair-dyed-black Hikaru is waiting for Haruhi's answer after he confessed to her during the trip to a ski resort. ACK. I'm heartbroken. I might be the twincest biggest fan but I'm also the shipper for Hikaru x Haruhi!! I mean, they look so cute together! Plus I like blackheads and Hikaru is now officially one!! ARGGGHH. Haruhi why do you make things hard~!! T_T

But anyway, I don't know what will happen after this chapter, and I will be finding that out myself. I don't know just exactly how Hikaru will take this but for sure I'm already heartbroken! But putting aside my childishly random musings about Hikaru and Haruhi, I think this is a really good shoujo manga (or reverse harem) that makes a good reading if you dont want the usual predictable shoujo manga. I mean, it starts off being so unlike a shoujo anime with gag spread throughout the episode and slowly peeling off and eventualy going deeper into their hearts, ack I can't take this anymore. Heart attack!!

After reading through the chapters I come to realise that, if it comes to this kind of situation, I am very much just like Hikaru in some way or another. Well, if you are to pick anyone in all of the 7 hosts members. I know I sound really cheesy but its just somehow true. Hot tempered, childish, hardly seen being calm and any adjectives which opposes to Kaoru that you can think of. Hah, the cheese. Sorry for boring you with my stupid thoughts but I just have the urge to write out about my feelings. >///<

Anyway, now I shall pick up my courage and continue reading through the latest chapters and find out how will Hikaru cope up with Haruhi's answer!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Yeah, so random. Anyway, I just felt like shouting (both on the display screen and in real life) because I've finally finished all those damned assignments. Yeah, those damned assignments. 

Now I can spend my sweet time watching anime, reading pr0ns, recharge my energy and work on the OC Set project which has been on hiatus (or rather not even started). It's been at the same place for quite a while now and since too many inspirations poped into my head, I might do some changes with them. *smirks* I might draw some of them this way, that way or the other way, hehe... 

--

I've had a funny dream today. I just felt like writing it down since it was one of the most unusual dreams I had so far, and up till now I can't even remember a thing about all the dreams I had but this one was too vivid. Well, particularly there's this one part.

I just don't know why, I dreamt upon this... female commander. I have no idea who she is, but she's just... well, she just gives me this "Heck, I'm a commander, yo" feeling. And she dresses just like hhmm... Okay, I need to refresh my head a bit. Hm, do you guys still remember the anime Rurouni Kenshin? Okay, so lets start from... Sanosuke Sagara. I've forgotten the  the detailed parts... (to be continued since my car is coming, haha)

Ouran Host Club + Honey & Clover live-action Tawainese ver. [Oct. 24th, 2008|11:01 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood | sleepy]
[Current Music |Last Alliance - Shissou]

Just finished watching Ouran High School Host Club last week. *sobs* WHY?! WHY?! Why issit only 26 episodes long dammmiiit~!!! (i bet you must be wondering why am i spending my time watching animes and reading mangas huh? I realise that too)

I never expect Ouran to be quite the unique shojo manga that has been dished to me. All the typical shojo manga is really predictable, straightforward, they grow too many mushrooms around it makes me hard to breathe and their female characters is so weak I can't stand them. (no offense shojo manga fans :p) But Ouran is really different. Haruhi is a really strong female character that is very opinionated, and at least she doesn't blush at the sight of the main character in every episode or chapter. Ouran comes second after HachiKuro. <33

By the way, HikaKao kyyaaa~! This is too direct for the eyes to see. I can bet with you 100% whoever is reading this, I will call for the Hitachiin twins if I were to study there. OMG, MOE rulez. Now now, where can I find HikaKao doujinshi... *wanders*

--

I was going out with my friends on Tuesday to shop for our dinner, and we were just window shopping inside this cd shop where they sell movies and dramas and all those kind of random stuffs. Of all the new drama releases that were on display, I spotted a Taiwanese version of Honey and Clover. Wait. Honey and Clover. THAT HONEY & CLOVER??? Are you serious?!!?

I have yet to even watch the live action version of it, and you're showing me the Taiwanese version?? Oh the blasphemy (correct me if the spelling is wrong). But ugh, anything related to HachiKuro must be grabbed no matter what, so in the end I ended up buying the dvd and started watching.

Well, it wasn't half bad. At least the story goes like how I predicted it should. Actors are pretty good looking, (except Shuuuji was replaced with a half-bald old man, oh poor Shuuji) So far I've watched till chapter 7. And yeah, its going good. And I hope they don't ruin the ending though. XD *thumbs*

Holiday Repose [Oct. 8th, 2008|02:10 pm]
[Tags|, , ]
[Current Location |campus]
[Current Mood | accomplished]
[Current Music |SIGNAL - KELUN]

I had the long awaited Raya break which lasted for a week, last week. And of course, since my brain has been longing for a break, I spent my holidays watching Gintama. (Definitely a good excuse to rest your brain, Gintoki recommends that too)

Esther gave me whole lots of episodes, in CHINESE. (Ah, the pain) Personally I prefer English-subbed Gintama, but its better to have than none. Gintama cracks are awesssuuum. Though I've only watched till episode 117. Am I the only person that thinks old man Gintoki is adorable? <3

-

Oh, talk about gifts from Esther, I've also began reading the bl manga she has given me, and there's this one manga titled "Tokaido HISAME" which seems to be quite enjoyable. Especially Itsuki and his so called 'weird train of thoughts'. They're so adorable in chibi form. I mean, they definitely look HAWT in normal size, and also cute  chibified. GAH. I definitely have to keep an eyes for more updates. Itsuki and your womanizer's attitude, kya.

-

After I saw the notice made by Ryuuen on deviantart [ http://news.deviantart.com/article/57682/ ] on The OC Set Project!! Pretty interesting huh. And he did some example for the project as well, which were really spiffy. Makes me wanna move my hands and start working on my dream manga. Inspired by Gintama's latest OP Donten by DOES and the ED SIGNAL by KELUN, I managed to retain my mood and draw something. Well, isn't too sure if this something is decent enough though. *scratches head*

Anyway, I've decided on the 4 characters that I'm going to use for that. (It's not necessary to have 4, but I only have the options to do either 12 or 4, so yeah) Hopefully I'll be able to complete the outline soon and finish it before the end of this year. Hopefully.

Before I forget,

GINTOKI'S BIRTHDAY THIS FRIDAY, 10/10!!!

Did I just heard that wrongly? Did I? DID I?!?!?!?!!? NUOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!

With no subbed Katekyo Hitman Reborn, my life is ruined! RUINED!!!!!!!!!!!!! My life is meaningless without KHR! I have yet to even see TYL!Tsuna gggaaaaahhhh. 


Moving on to my own life, besides being addicted with KHR, I've returned to college last last Saturday and has began my class for the 4th semester. Weird. We used to call the 4 semester students seniors but now we're being called as seniors. O_o But REJOICE! We only have 4 subjects and only 1 subject which require drawing. Gyahahahha. GYAHAHAHA. Argh. So random.

My brother and my BL partner in crime, Esther recommended me Soul Eater. Sounds like a really cool anime. Probably anything that goes with the word "soul" just sounds really good to me. XD Anyway, Esther showed me the first episode of Soul Eater this morning, though it was Chinese subbed, but it was AWESOOOOOOOOME. Anything made by Square-Enix is LOVE. The OP by T.M. Revolution titled resonance is really great. I've always been watching for T.M. Revolution and this song just proved him to be as awesome as he has always been.

The Mummy + New Addiction! [Aug. 2nd, 2008|05:57 pm]

[Current Mood | excited]
[Current Music |LM.C - 88 (KHR OP4)]

I just returned from the cinema with my friend Chain. We're supposed to watch The Mummy with another friend but she somehow forgot to take her handphone with her and we couldn't reach her so the both of us went ahead of her.

But putting that aside, The Mummy was excellent. Unlike The Bank Job, this one was of course far more better 100 times. (Though for some unknown reason I just don't understand why I'm comparing this movie with The Bank Job) There's some humour element inside and yeah, at least I understand the English that they're speaking. (Because I had trouble trying to understand what on Earth are they talking about in The Bank Job)

Anywaaaaay, this might sound random but I LOVE KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! I managed to download all 92 episodes of released KHR and OMG, this is anime is DAMN AWESOME! The plot really got me when they turned serious in the Varia Arc. Damn joo, Amano Akira for making such great manga! <33333 Do you know I'm suffering from insomnia because of KHR!! I heart joo~!!!

Hibari is awesome, he's what Bianchi would say  "cool and dangerous". Damn, she's soooo right. Lambo is waaay adorable. And he makes a delicious adult Lambo with the 10 year bazooka. KYAAAAAA. Colonello is cute as well. XD Amano Akira has make me fall for a blonde! I've always been in love with blackheads but Colonello is just too cuuuute I can't stand myself! I think I wanna draw something from KHR. I think. But I dunno what to draw though. D18? D18 is great but I'm a loyal fan of GinHiji though. But with so many bishies in KHR I don't wanna make any shounen ai pairing from KHR...

And last but not least, this is one of the latest artwork I had for my story Zodiac Solutionist. The 12 zodiac characters. XD Took almost a week to complete this. My laptop was on the verge of crushing when the file starts to get heavier. T.T But the result isn't so bad. Still need to improve my drawing. :P

Palm reading? + Happy Belated Birthday, Tsubasa! <3 [Jul. 22nd, 2008|12:22 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]
[Current Mood | crappy]
[Current Music |Tohoshinki - Stay With Me Tonight]

I finally had the chance to watch Hancock with my nii-san last Friday. Ever since the trailer came out, I really can't wait for its release. Well, yeah, I was a week late to watch the movie buuuut, I have to say that's a kickass movie. Definitely must love all the actions inside.

By the way, just wondering, have you ever thought about palm reading? Or... do you believe in palm reading?

This is just something that had happened few months ago back when I was still in Kuching studying. As usual, a group of friends and I will hang out to the usual coffee shop to have our lunch. Since we go there almost everyday, the owner and us were really close that sometimes we share lots of secrets with him.

Well, there was this one guy that I really had a crush on ever since we started this year's semester. I see him everyday, and yet I still can't take the guts to actually tell him how I feel. But despite the closeness (as in the distance, not our friendship) that we have, I'm still thinking whether or not he likes some other girls or whether if he had any feelings for me as well. So, I asked the owner whether he could read my palm and see if there's any chance between us. You see, I'm not really a believer in such stuffs, but if he seriously can read it, why not take it as a reference?

So I showed him my left palm, I think, and he stared at it with a very hard look. From the look of his face, I knew it was something not good. He said, "You two can't possibly be together." In Chinese of course. I felt bitter and sour. Sigh. I thought so too. I'm a loser, who wants to date me anyway?

Then he continued saying, "The situation is like this: Even if you 2 really did went out together, the comparison is like, you put 100% into this relationship and he only put 50% inside. He's not that serious in this relationship because he wants to focus more on his job first. BUT, by the time he puts 100% into it, he will realise that everything is too late because by that time, you'll be gone."

I choked a little. Okaaaaaay. So basically, to make it simple, if I were to go out with him, things just wouldn't go as sweet. My friends did advise me to not like him. But I'm still doubting. I'm still thinking whether or not should I continue this unrequited feelings. So I told her that once I return to Miri for the mid-semester break, I'll think about it. But the palm reading story did not end here. There was a continuation to that story.

"However, you WILL meet someone when you're 23 years old."

"23 years old? That's still long!!"

"He is not as tall as him, but he is still taller than you a little. He shall be a very caring person. And he will treat you so nicely."

"Okkaaaaayyyy."

Seriously, is he not a good palm reader that he can ever predict some basic features of my future boyfriend? Well, I'm not too sure. I'm not sure whether this person is a person that I know, or someone new. I just have to keep out for guys who are just a little taller than me! And I have a few friends which actually fit that description, hah! XD

Anyway, July 15th was Tsubasa's birthday! (Andou Tsubasa from Gakuen Alice) Argh, my bishie, I'm sorry I couldn't do anything more special than a drawing for you on your birthday. T_T

 

I don't mean to make him look sad here, but after reading the latest chapters of Gakuen Alice and his disappearance, I just can't help thinking of him looking like this, on his birthday, far away from the Alice Gakuen.

Presentation? Done!! Wooohooo but I still feel sad. [May. 15th, 2008|03:41 pm]
[Tags|]

The moment I am writing this, I am officially done with the presentation for our Communication Studies 3. I am happy I've completed mine, but it would be a big fat lie if I'm not sad about it. 

Our group of 3 has chosen "Prostitution in Malaysia" as our research topic, and of course, that was my idea. I was interested i doing this topic mainly because of the oiran research I have done previously. Oiran in Japan fascinates me, and I have to say it kinda changes my perspective on how prostitutes in Japan actually looks like. 

I'm not supporting prostitutes or anything, I'm neutral if you ask me. It's more like I want to know just exactly how is the hidden sex industry in Malaysia is conducted. So yeah, in order to prepare for the presentation I did made some research, which, hopefully, is sufficient for the presentation because we spent extra 8 minutes longer talking crap. (Well I think I'm crapping on the stage with the ahhhh, hmmm, errrrr) 

I'm glad it's over, at least that's one burden down, and also one presentation off. But is still slightly sad because I can somehow feel that I didn't really do that well. Yeah, I admit I didn't prepare my research papers early, oh, the pain. I must have looked like a serious retard while presenting. >.<

One presentation down, 5 more assignments to go, and of course, there are bound to be presentations on our artwork. (Well at least I think I can manage that, I hope.)

So Far Away... [May. 13th, 2008|01:52 pm]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood | worried]
[Current Music |Gary Chao - Betray]

Unrequited love.

Have you ever felt that way when your feeling never gets answered by the person you fancy? I did. But... that's not the point I'm trying to get into now.

I had never understood the meaning of love, nor do I know how to differentiate the meaning between love and like. I dare not step into the world of 'love' yet I'm still wandering around 'like'

I have a guy that I fancy actually, hohohoh. Everybody under roof knows that already, and I dare to say that he knows. My friend said that I am a lucky person because I get to see the person that I like everyday. At first when he moved in with us, we were really lively. We talked to each other quite a lot and he often approached me for various reasons like disturbing, looking at me lose in Uno card game or just a simple chat. There are times whenever he's busy with his assignments he would ask me to buy him food and times where he would text me before our van comes to pick us saying he's not following or he will be.

Everything was a bliss until a few weeks ago when we don't talk much to each other again. It was weird. I mean, I had no idea what triggered him to go further away from me. He did knew that I was shipping some feelings for him when we were still good to each other but why now? But then, I wouldn't deny that there was this one time when I tried to avoid him for a day. Reason is because there's this one girl in our house that is really good at talking. She's the personification of vocal, and she can do anything with her talking skills. I have to admit I'm not really that good at communicating but the first few months of interacting with him made me feel appreciated as a minor character in the house. But once everything changed, I felt somehow betrayed. I was and am sad he didn't want to talk to me anymore, and is in truth, afraid that he might like the aforementioned girl.

I am lying if I said I'm not sad. I'm really sad. But at the same time I'm trying my best to get back all the chances I've lose to resume the closeness that we used to have. People say I'm not brave enough, I'm a chicken for not being able to say out what I really think and what I really wanna do. I keep telling myself that I could salvage all the lost times. I promised myself and everyone in the house that I will tell him what I really think about him. I can do that. But...

What does he think about me?




Haha. Ugliness. XD Picture taken by Sonia.

Argh, so weird. I'm not used to writing blog so I'm feeling weird all over the place. >////< But I'll try my best use this blog as a blog should be used for.

Hmm... normally people know me by Ephemeral-Garden or Infinite-Stardust if you're in DeviantArt, but epphy... now if you you want me to tell the truth, I actually had no intention of creating a blog in livejournal other than just wanting to read GinHiji goods at gintama_route18.

I used to have a blog in blogspot but things were pretty hard to handle, with users now have to own a google address, I think that's pretty troublesome. So I moved here. Hopefully  with me using livejournal I hope I will know the meaning of blog and get to know lots of people. XD

I know lots of people uses blog as an online diary. I might treat my blog that way (lol, sorry) and occasionaly with the addition of the pictures of some event or trip that I've gone to, and some drawing or fan arts that I've done during my free time.

Oh, now that I've mention it, I did a Gintama fan art just recently. :D Not the best but I hope you enjoy it. <3
