'Now all I hear are screams between us
resounding and bouncing the echoes throughout my mind.
Nothing is left, nothing remains at the end of the line.
At the end of our chain, we've both run out of time.'

Status updates from Facebook:

Regret is not a word in my dictionary and hence I don't regret. I just wish things had been better.

Every person wants to love someone and be loved by someone, whether they are aware of it or not.

I'm afraid. Of being alone. Because I know. That I can go berserk.

‎'I hope to confide in you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone before. And I hope you'll be a source of comfort and support.'
People don't keep to their word. Wasted my time saying this to you.

Like I said, if I can't drag you to hell, I'll drag hell to you. People call me 'Enma' anyway, even you do. And given that you've so willingly 'crowned' me as the Lord of Hell, I might as well let my hatred flow. The cycle of hatred is neverending. My life revolves around hatred.

Why do people search for human warmth? Because this world is a dead and cold place. Where hatred is never ending. Where revenge drives people. Where the line between the living and the dead is nearly non-exsistant.

‎'Regret' doesn't exist in my dictionary. 'Forever' only applies for certain fixed occassions. I should remove 'never' from my dictionary as well. Because in my world, 'never' is a lie. There is no such thing as 'never'.

‎'爱一个人，不是知道自己给了她/他许多爱与关怀，而是问自己她/他是否感受到你的爱与关怀，这样你们才能不停的相爱。'
- quoted from Weijia Tan

Revenge
Lesson 1: Don't wish for unhappiness to happen to the person you hate. Ultimately, you'll become unhappy.
Lesson 2: Don't kill the person you hate. Kill those around them. Make the person you hate feel your pain.
Lesson 3: Don't get too distracted when it comes to revenge. Do what you can. The one you hate will pay the price for what he/she has done to you.

So what if you're innocent. Just blame your luck for having you be in the wrong position at the wrong time. Innocent people always get dragged into situations thanks to that.

The only way to get rid of hatred is to get rid of the source of it. But in the process, you'll cause another person to bear hatred towards you and hence want to get rid of you. And the process continues. This is why the cycle of hatred is never ending.
Time heals pain. Time increases hatred.

I know you hate me. You hate me like hell. You hate me for holding on. You hate me for disturbing you. You hate me for disturbing your girlfriend. You hate me for loving you too much. You hate me for being a busybody. You hate me for everything I've done. You hate me so much that you'd want to kill me, which you can as long as I don't kill myself first. My life revolves around hatred after all. Hatred and neglect.

I'm not going to write about how much I've loved you and all that crap, since it's crap to you and you've heard enough of that from me. I'm paying the price for everything that has happened. I'm paying the price for letting you be my first, my last, my only. One more achievement you can add to your list. I know the reason why I met you, and I'm glad that I know the reason. Regret is not a word in my dictionary after all, and hence I don't regret anything. I only wish things were better. But this is hitsuzen. Things were meant to happen this way.

This was just some wonderful delusion on my part. At least once I'm dead, this dream would end. It has been a while since I've dreamt of you. But the last dream I had was the most vivid one. To be able to feel your warmth in my dream, it was extreamly comforting. But that dream, is a mix of both pleasure and pain. Dreams can become a reality, but not this dream. If you've read the letter I wrote which was enclosed in your birthday present, you'd know what my desire was. A selfish desire which was once so close, but one which I let slip away. A desire which can never be mine.

I never practise what I preach. I tell you no never give up, never lose hope, keep hanging on. But I have chosen to give up. You have everything, I have nothing. What I used to have I've lost. Enjoy everything you have. Get married, start a family, be a good father. Don't let your child become like me, a victim of neglect since young. Neglect which has driven me crazy.

Everything we do comes from the desire of being important. You can say that I'm writing this because of this desire to be important. You can choose to think any way you want. I have no power or right to stop you. I am glad to have known you. And the memories I've shared with you I'll bring with me to hell. If I knew that last Tuesday would be the last time I'd ever see you, I'd have said a proper good bye. I'm not asking for a parting girft from you, because I know you won't give me any anyway. I don't even know how long I'll remain alive. I guess the next time I meet you, I'll meet you in hell.

Until then. Never give up, never lose hope. Please keep hanging on.

And if I survive death for the third time, all I'll say is that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

I'm not a person who'll regret. And I won't regret making my decision that fine day. Ichihara Yuuko is my teacher. Yes, she is a non-exsistant person who doesn't even go by her real name, but I've learn things from her.

First thing I learnt - everything happens for a reason.
I don't know what is the reason for all of this happening yet. There is a reason that appears on the surface, and one more deeper reason. That reason, as you know, I've yet to find out. All the things that have happened during these few months have all happened for a reason. What happened recently has a reason too. Though the conclusion was not something I've wished for, it was something I saw coming for quite a while. Though I hated the truth, I had to prepare myself for it. And now that it has happened, I'm glad I was spared the pain.

Second thing I learnt - there is a price to pay for everything you do.
Like it or hate it, you know it. All of us do. Sometimes we do something and get something in return. It might be pleasant, it might not. But the price you have to pay is usually something of equal value. I am a revengful person as some might already know. Though, with this knowledge, I shouldn't be worrying about the peope who have hurt me, you or anyone I care about, there are certai things that have been with me for so long that for it to go away, it will take time. As we all know, old habits die hard. This 'habit' of mine wil take a long time to die off.
I took the risk, I paid the price. As for you, only time will tell.

Recap 2009 - My trip with Jaron to Suntec to get his Asiasoft account back.

Back in 2008/2009 I was pretty much Cabal crazy. I played that game since close beta (and I prefer close beta time). I remember doing most of my Port Lux quests WITHOUT a Port Lux map (I didn't bother to do the quest to get the map). And I remember my awesome hanbok and Capella nation costume and my somewhat retarded pet whose name I can't remember. I shall cut the crap and move on to what I intend to remember.

As you can see from the title, it's about going to Suntec to retrieve an Asaisoft account. One fine day, some bored person decided to hack Jaron's Asiasoft account. He told me about it and I told him that the only way to get it back is to got the people at Asiasoft to do it (of course, you can hack your account back but that's a waste of time and brain juice).

And to Suntec we went. Ended up on the same train as him without knowing, got somewhat lost trying to find the shop. He skipped CCA (I guess I can revel this since we've graduated and I don't think Mrs Eng can do anything to him), did something rather stupid, though of using Constance as our... dumpsite? And he survived my dad's whole computer talk.

And the train we took back was some empty. For once, you don't even need to think of fighting for a seat.

Memory test:
What was he wearing?
SYFC shirt, jeans, track shoes with faded school schoe laces on them, carry his school bag.

What was I wearing?
Grey Levi's top, dark blue track pants, Nike shoes, carry light blue Nike bag.

Guess I do have good memory.

2011-01-18T20:46:00.002+08:00

I graduated from secondary school on 27th September 2010 (I somehow can remember the date very well). You might be thinking that you don't need to go back to school once you've graduated. Did not happen for me. I went back to school for three more weeks.

Fast forward - 2 weeks to O levels.
Monday
23 people turn up for class. Mock tests are on everyday.
What happened to all those who didn't turn up for school? They were either staying at home or at the library. Yes, they skipped school. Who said top class students were always obedient? That evening, I managed to convince my mum to let me skip school for three days.

Tuesday
Stayed at home and did revision for biology. Went back to school for Maths mock test in the afternoon only to find that you can bring it back home to do. Made plans on what to on Wednesday. Attendence on that day: 14/40

Wednesday
Shall not write about what happened on the first half of the day. Private info will remain private.
When to the library in the afternoon at around 2pm. 9 of my classmates were already at the library. Sat with Jaron and did more biology revision (did 2008 O level paper and some other chapters). Went off at 5pm. Attendence on that day: 9/40

Thursday
Went to the library at 10am, did physics and chemistry revision, left at 2pm.
Attendence on that day: 13/4o if I remember correctly.

Friday
Last day of school so I went back. Was pretty boring in truth. Attendence: 20/40? Can't remember clearly.

Schedule was similar for the week before O levels (science practical week). Another event recorded down.

2011-01-13T22:33:00.003+08:00

Three years ago, I posted on my blog everyday. This blog fuctioned as a way for me to remember things. And hence I can still look back at all the weird things I did back then. As you can tell, I no longer blog everyday. Neither can you see any of my previous posts or anything I've posted years ago. To me, there are certain things which should remain in the past. And certain things which should never be brought up again.

So, will I blog everyday like I used to? Maybe, when I finally have things I wish to remember. I've had many wonderful memories. The most wonderful I have talked about. The feeling I had during SL lunch I no longer remember, however, I remember who I had that lunch with and I managed to write down my feelings on that day. I remember walking to Causeway Point with Jaron with the sun shining in at us on that day. I remember accidentally spilling coke, washing my hands with ice, watching turtles swim in the condo pond. And I'm glad I'm able to remember. Tomorrow, it'll be one year from that day.

In a short span of three to four months, I've experienced a whole range of emotions. You won't know how people feel when they are heartbroken until someone breaks your heart. You won't know how it's like to hate so much until you want to kill unless some event triggers that feeling. You won't know how it's like to love someone until you have someone to love. I don't know everything, but I've know more than what I used to.

There are many things I have today which I did not have this day one year ago. As some of you may know, I believe that everything happens for a reason. What is the reason for all the things that happened in 2010 I've yet to figure out some. There are certain things I've done which I question myself whether it was the right choice, but regret is not a word in my dictionary. In the end, the choice has been made and you can't change the past. You can only improve the present and hence change the future. Another thing I don't believe in is 'forever'. It's a word that applies to very few things. Once a year is gone, it's gone forever. However, when people say they want to be together, it's just a saying. We all know that it can't happen. We'll all leave this plain one day. That's why 'till death do us part' exists.

I can write my thoughts and feelings on this blog. But everything I won't write. As we all know, there are certain memories which we would rather keep to ourselves. And certain memories which we would rather forget or pretend didn't exist. Such memories have I. And forget these memories I shall attempt.

2010-12-27T22:34:00.002+08:00

Best memories of 2010 in chronological order:

1) Having a stray kitten as a friend (at least until someone took her home and I never saw her again).

2) SL lunch.
No lunch has beaten that one (yet).

3) 10th Anni.
No need to elaborate on that one. Especially if you were involved.

4) Getting hamsters as a birthday present.
They grew about twice their size in 4 days. Now they are fat 10 month olds.

5) Kite flying @ Barrage

6) Going to get free tickets during Cathay's 75th Annicversary.
Thank you Ms Chong for cancelling remedial. Thank you Mdm K for allowing us to skip your remedial and go.
It's either we are so stressed that we needed a form of relief. Or we're damn kiasu (considerig that half the class went).

7) Graduation
It was kind of boring though. And I still had to treat 2 people to lunch.

8) Skipping school to study at the library before O levels.

9) AFA day 1 (before I got pissed off).

10) Prom Night.

11) Class chalet.

12) Night walks during class chalet.

13) Sleeping on christmas eve.
It was the first time in a long while where I didn't have to attend a christmas party on christmas eve. Though I ended up getting woken up by all sorts of noises (dogs barking, phones ringing, things being hit, random sounds from kids etc.) and having weird dreams.

2010-10-21T21:43:00.001+08:00

There is no such thing as coincidence, only what we term 'hitsuzen'.
この世に偶然なんてない、あるのは必然だけ。

What it is (not sure where it's from; took this from a post I posted in 07):

Yuuko constantly, if not always, makes references to "hitsuzen" in xxxHOLiC and in TSUBASA RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. As she quoted from the Kodansha Japanese Desk Dictionary: Second Edition, it is "a naturally foredained event, where other outcomes are impossible." It also has different results for different people. Although hitsuzen can be easily translated as "fate," fate is a destiny brought unto others no matter what they do. In contrast to this, hitsuzen is a destiny that is different for each person that encounters it.

In other words (as said by Haruka-san in xxxHOLiC volume 10):

It means that everything that happens has a meaning. But it's very rare to find someone who can keep everything in mind. There are so many events in any given day, for anybody to be able to pick out the meaning,it's very hard to think about. On the other hand, the moment you realize that something may have a meaning, the realization itself has meaning as well.
...
Many words and events have led you to this point. And because of that, you can't go back to the time when you didn't notice.

Everyone has a road that they are walking down. As one walks down this road, there will be many crossroads, merges and diverging roads. What one intends to do when such events occur will change how one will continue walking down that road. One cannot stop until one reaches the end. One can choose not stop walking down one's designated path and walk down another, provided there is another for one to walk down. As one continues walking, the path will gradually form.

Every intersection, and every person one meets, one meets for a reason. The reason might not be something that can be noticed so soon. It might be a simple reason or a more complicated one. One might only know the reason months or years later. What one does with the person they meet might be able to determine what the path may hold for the next few days of movement down it. However, one must note that for everything that they do, there will be a price to pay. The price can come in any form, any degree. There is no limit to what the price will be, and in due time, one will have to pay for it.

Note: I seem to find this blog post poorly written but I don't really care. I find that there is a need for me to record down this incident because I feel her pain as well.

Freak accidents are indeed freaky. They take you by surprise, and they cause injuries. Accidents like such aren't called freak accidents for nothing.

This is based on what I heard. I wasn't in school when it happened. Here goes:

Captain's ball. You run around, pass the ball to your team mates. Ball reaches the hands of the 'goalkeeper' (sounds better than 'catcher'), your teams gains a point. Gist of the game.

Here's the thing. You need to run around and people can intercept anytime they want. From what I heard, Sheryl did not notice Yuit Lin and they collided. Collisions happen all the time, half the time it's nothing major, however, no one would have expected this.

Yuit Lin got a major bruise on her forehead, no open wound, no blood lost. Sheryl got a horizontal cut above her lip. Blood shed and hells loads of pain. I've let my skin get shredded off my the wonderfully rough parade square ground before but I doubt the pain is anywhere near what she went through.

To think that less than one hour ago, she was jumping around, being so happy when she got a poster of Jay Park. And less than an hour later, she is experiencing tremendous pain. The though of a scar across her flawless face was enough to hurt her. Though the last time I had flawless skin was about 6 years ago, that kind of feeling, I can understand. Wounds can heal, and will be forgotten after time. Scars can remain with you for life.

She had to get stitches. The last time I got stitches, I broke the thread by accident and got an infection (it was in my mouth, what do you expect me to do?!). For a wound like such, it'd take a extremely long time to heal without stitches (I think).

Sheryl, I wish I was the one who got injured instead (I've already let the parade square shred my skin off). I've pretty much gotten used to getting physical injuries. You'll always be beautiful and you'll always be AWESOME.

Get well soon!

Are wigs considered a good investment? Probably since I've invested in 4 wigs.
Karura-ou wig: On it's way to Singapore; have yet to see how it actually looks like
C.C wig: Needs to be styled into Banpresto Romantic Variation Set B style
Miku wig: GORGEOUS. Needs to deal with tangles and reconditioning
Silverish grey wig: Lovely; fringe is abit irritating, shall do somethig about it when I have time

Random things for you to click on while I re-vamp my blog (which might actually end up looking the same as before):

2010-05-20T00:45:00.002+08:00

Some upcoming animes:

1) Highschool of the Dead
It's in anime form! *claps*

2) Kuroshtsuji 2
For those fans out there.

3) Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatachi
Those who are fans of J.C. Staff productions or like long anime titles.

4) Digimon Xros Wars.
It's still not over yet (I still prefer Digimon Advnture & Digimon 02).

2010-05-03T20:58:00.003+08:00

I shall list down my favourite animes out of all those that I've watched. I'm bored after all.

1) Air TV
Probably one of the few animes that will make you cry. Wonderful storyline, go watch it if you haven't.

2) Fate / Stay Night
Alot of things in the show were meant to happen. But it's still nice to watch. Too bad the TV Reproduction isn't working for me. I want to watch Ultimate Blade Works. I roughly know the storyline, just not going to spoil it. OST for that is already out.

3) Burst Angel
It's a weird but enjoyable show. Good for those who love violence and guns and such.

4) xxxHOLiC
Weird, random and cute. I want a Pipe Fox too. The animation's slightly better than the other CLAMP animes.

5) Last Exile
If you love things related to aerospace.

6) Twelve Kingdoms
If you love Chinese-influenced thing and mythical animes and palace heirarchy.

2010-04-28T22:59:00.002+08:00

Someone to check out:

Her name is JASMINE. She is a Japanese R&B singer. And I fell in love with her songs from the moment I heard her first single 'sad to say'. Her Lady Gaga style outfit like the one you see above is from her single 'THIS IS NOT A GAME'. This is probably the most queer outfit amongst her 5 cover outfits (which are also the ones she wears in her MVs). Her first four singles 'sad to say', 'No More', 'THIS IS NOT A GAME' and 'JEALOUS' respectively have more upbeat songs except for 'MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY ALL' which is more ballad style. I don't have JEALOUS yet so I don't know about the other song in the single. Her 5th single Dreamin' is to be released in May and it's a more of a ballad song as well. Go check her out. She is said to be the next Utada Hikaru.

Did you know: Up till now, old anime OSTs like Yuzurenai Negai from Magic Knight Rayearth and Change The World from Inuyasha (2000) are still one of the most searched anime OSTs.

2010-04-08T21:10:00.002+08:00

Album I'm loving:

Just like the first one, all the songs are all perfectly blended together to sound like a single track. This album consists of some of her latest songs such as UNIVERSE, Lick Me and ECSTACY as well as some older songs such as you, hands, Shake It Up and No Regret. And good ol' Driving is remixed in this album.

I've read all three book from Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy so I did this for fun. It's 60 questions long, so think twice if you hate long MCQs.

Your result for The Golden Compass Daemon Test...

Jokester Soul

You are a confident person with a strong sense of self. You can be loud and jocular, and you don't really care who hears you. You don't spend too much time stressing about how other people see you. If they like you, well, good for them. If they don't like you, well, that's their own problem.

People need to earn your respect in order for you to really start taking them into consideration. You might bend yourself over backwards for a friend or family member, but you aren't going to give that sort of special treatment to any old Joe Blow. Your loved ones know that under that bold, brash exterior, there is a person who is loyal and even clannish at times. You will fight to defend your friends and family from any and all comers. With these special few, you drop that joking exterior and be your real self.

Your daemon's form would represent your confident ways, your joking and insensitive manner, and your secret tendency for softheartedness. He or she would probably help you criticize all the idiots whom you meet on a day to day basis, and back you up when you are on the defensive.

Suggested forms: Magpie, Raven, Kangaroo, Wild Boar, Baboon.

The number 10:

10 years ago, I danced on stage for the first time. 10 years down the road, I've dance at many places and for many occassions. But I've only had 10 public performances so far, with 10th Anniversary being my 10th public performance.

2010-02-21T23:52:00.005+08:00

I'm currently listening to this:

READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK

If you're wondering why the hell I'm listening to this, it's because I grew up watching Digimon just like a whole load of others out there. I've watched 3 out of 5 seasons. Actually you can't really call them seasons since only Digimon Adventure and Digimon 02 are related. Nevermind. The only two I haven't watched are Digimon Tamers and the latest one which I don't know what it's called. And I've watched Digimon Frontier 3 times even though I still prefer the original Digidestined.

Let's talk about the CD. Disc 1 consists of all the opening songs and insert songs while disc 2 consists of the ending songs. And before you know it, you'll be singing along like what I'm doing now. And since most of the songs are sung by Wada Koji and Maeda Ai (or AiM), they'll be the ones you'll be listening to 50% of the time. There's only one duet which is 'an Endless Tale' which is the second ending of Digimon Frontier (I'm sure alot of you know that already).

Out of the 25 song in the album I've heard 13 of them before.
If you're curious to know what songs there are, here's the back of the CD cover:

Truth is, I only consider the first two season to be the original Digimon. Since the other 3 have very much no relation to the first two, I'm not such a big fan of them.

After looking at the top 50 best selling mangas up till 2009, magas you expect to be at the top are at the top (One Piece, Naruto and Bleach in 1st, 5th & 8th respectively). SOme mangas which I did not expect top be on the list are on the list (Death Note & Shaman King). And good thing Vampire Knight is not on the list. It's still not old enough to be on the list. Obviously, no new manga has made it to top 50 yet as you'll have to beat all those who have been around much longer than you have. Oricon's charts put the top selling mangas by series as the usual 3 you see everywhere.

Zero no Tsukaima picture drama is so random. If you want some randomness in your day, go watch it.

After looking at the list of upcoming animes/mangas/light novels/OVAs, nothing seem very appealing to me. Kaichou wa Maid -sama! is now in anime form so fans of the manga can have a visual experience. After all, this manga series is fairly popular. I've never read the manga and the only thing I know about it is that the student council president works at a maid cafe (just like the name states). And I don't even know if I'm totally right. For some weird reason, not all new things out there appeal to me.

Remind me of this picture:

Note: I've never watched Kampfer. I don't know how to even pronounce that word and I've no freaking clue what that's show's about. I've not watched Season 2 of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu as I've already read the light novels o I know the storyline and I've no time to watch it.

Sooooo......

I was listening to the Opening and Ending songs of Inuyasha: Kanketsu Hen (I'll call it Final Act).
The Opening is Kimi ga Inai Mirai by Do As Infinity. In the CD, you'll be able to find Fukai Mori (2nd ending of Inuyasha 2000) and Shinjitsu no Uta (I think it has been used before). Kimi ga Inai Mirai is nice but not a song which I think I'll fall in love with (for now). As I was listening to it, I was thinking, I've NEVER watched Inuyasha properly for once. It has been on air multiple times during the 9 years between it and Final Act yet I've only watch the first and last 20 odd episodes. I hate long animes and I'm not a big fan of Inuyasha so I don't really care about that. I've never watched Shaman King properly either.

The Ending in Hide-Away by AAA. No, not the Neopets character. The group that sang the Japanese version of 'We're All In This Together', if that helps. Again, not super fantastic. I guess I've been psychoed by the Inuyasha 2000 openings and endings.

SL lunch. We had it this afternoon, with only 7 out of 22 attending. But yet, I somehow felt that this lunch was planned way before all 7 of us even before knew each other. Someone gave us this chance to really sit down together and get to know each other more. What we talked about, I won't write about it as there was alot of private talk which should remain private, some stuff which I will reveal when the time is right, and some super boring crap that's not worth writing about. And as always, I blog to keep a record of things that I find are important. Whether the others who were present want to blog about what we talked about, it's their choice. I just find that all the stuff we talk about should remain private.

Jaron said that the amount of people present was the prefect number. And it definitely was. With too many people around, we wouldn't get a chance to sit down and talk. I could happen if there were lesser people present but there'd be lesser stuff to talk about. So we spent 3 hours (rounded up) eating and talking (more talking of course) as though we've known each other for a much longer time than we already have (we've known each other for 1 year AT LEAST). And when we did that, it was like, for that period of time, all the worries that we have momentarily disappeared. It sounds cheesy but that's the best way to put it into words. And times files when you're having fun so it was already time to go before we knew it.

There are thing in which I question whether it was supposed to happen in a certain way. But for today's SL lunch (I published this post after 12 am though) was something that was meant to happen so that we would see a side of our classmates in a way which we might not get to see again. There's just something in me which tells me that this lunch with these 6 other people was something that was meant to happen. I wouldn't know how it would be like if there were more people (so technically it was also 'destined' that Krystal changed her mind). Even though 'fate' is more of the appropriate word that should be used but who cares right now. Something got us together in the same class; and it got us to be involved in our SL project; and it got us to have this lunch together. So to who ever this someone or something (Hitsuzen maybe?) is, I thank you for giving us this chance. You timed it right and you timed it well. (I'm a free thinker by the way.)

And just to let you guys know, there was an eclipse today (15th Jan). No wonder the 5/6 pm sun felt weird.

2010-01-10T22:10:00.002+08:00

Science fiction anime. Great deal of them out there. Let's see how many of them have stuff which might one day become reality. (I've only watched 2 science fiction animes so I'll base what I write on those two.)

1) Slowing down ageing (from Kiddy Grade and subsequently Kiddy Girl-and)
Some of the ES members are 'injected' with something which slows down their ageing process. Tweedledee and Tweedleum are classic examples. With modern technological advancements, this might actually be possible. You're not living forever, you'll still die one day. But it's going to take a long time before you end up going anywhere.

2) 'Genetically modified' humans/Cyborgs (from Kiddy Grade)
Alv, Eclair and Lumiere are those who I'm reffering to. Alv was once human, Eclair and Lumiere are constantly being reborned. This might only appear in the super distant future, definately not in our lifetime. It's something which our current technology is not totally capable of doing and it's super risky.

3) Gundams (you know where that's from)
They make Star Wars look old school. If we are able to build spaceships are send them out to space, will we be able to make all those Gundam fans' dream come true? Unless we have alot more land space, that launching thingamajig and people who are willing to risk their lives in something which looks better on screen, MAYBE. I'll doubt it'll do us any good even if mankind did have a Gundam. Those astronuats are already doing a pretty good job. Let's save the money and deal with Global warming. If there were Gundams, wars will move to outer space.

4) Battleships (from Kiddy Grade)
One thing's for sure, they look more confortable than sitting in a Gundam. They are built maily for planet to planet transport as well as intergalactic fights. But it'll most likely need the same things a Gundam does (including the launching thingamajig) and it won't be of much use to mankind. NASA's doing a good job with spaceships and such already.

On the 365th day of the 2009th year AD, we look back at what happened during the past 364 days that have gone by. May would agree that 2009 was a pretty unforgettable year. For me it was. SYF, Performances at RP and Ngee Ann City, Service Learning, AFA, visit from my cousins which I haven't met for eight years, becoming the personal assitant of KKX, Charity Bazaar, arrival of my new cousin, success and failure. Time passes so quickly. Here we are on the last day of 2009, looking back at everything we have done for the past 364 days. Tomorrow is a new year, and who knows what is awaiting us in 2010. It's the time where everything seems to start over again. The time where January pops up again after a 12 month break from the calendar. You can see 2010 as a good year or a bad year. A bad year as, for those 2012 believers, you only have 2 more years on Earth. A good year as it can be a fresh start, especially those who are starting secondary school or tertiary education. I wouldn't dare predict what would happen in 2010 (other than YOG in August). Would there be another natural disaster (touch wood)? Would there be a change in the education system (I wish)? Would another social networking website better than Facebook be created (I'm anti-facebook)?
What will await us in the year 2010, only time will tell.

Let's sum up all that happened this year with a video that less than 3 minutes (you might have seen this on the news yesterday).

As heard in the song, "Farewell '09, you'll be over real soon!" There are only 3 hours left in the year 2009.
"Yes, it's the end, But we'll do it again, In the year two-thousand-ten!" Ending the year with a positive note.

Why do I blog about anime crap when it doesn't seem significant at all?

My blog is a place where I record my feelings about something and share it with the world. I'm not going to write it down in a notebook or something because I've enough notebooks with enough crap inside. We all know that we can't remember everything, that's why I put whatever I find somewhat unimportant here. I don't blog about things that happen in my life anymore, not that nothing interesting happens, but I rather keep it to myself. After all, this is the World Wide Web. I've started to blog about animanga stuff as it's the only place where I can rant and no one really cares. I've wriiten a post on how much I hate Vampire Knight, seiyu versus, anime versus, the iJustine game some choices (not related though), my anime list (so that I can keep track) and some animes of the past. And my love for CLAMP, of course. I am not like those who go around blogging about how fantastic this show or that show is (I've only done that to two shows). I see things in a different perspective mainly because I don't go around watching every single anime that has surfaced on this Earth. I don't have the time and I don't like suckish animations or incest or episodes that have no relation to the main sotryline (like episode 6 or Kiddy Girl-and).
Would I become a full time anime blogger? No. I would most probably have no interest in all those upcoming animes and I can't stand long animes either. Maybe I'll do manga reviews instead and continue writing about my hatred for Vampire Knight.

Next post: Analysis on how animes become popular.

Kiddy Girl-and episode 9

We start off with a scene where the 4 original GOTT ES members have a cute little conversation. Then the opening speach and a hologram of Geacht'er who actually looks gay. He reminds me of another character but I can't remember which character it is. And after 8 episodes, the original 4 ES members finally use their powers again. Seriously, the G Society people are gay. If you want to have a battle, come out full force and fight will you? Tweedledee's Strom (this is not a typo, it's German) is pretty cool. Well, if G Society thinks they can kill ES members, they should really think again. The 4 originals won't die so easily. They have so much more experience than you do. I applaud Tweedledum for protecting his sister and allowing his body to take the injuries. How many brothers do you know who will do that for their sisters? (I don't care about you, you incest freak called Kaname) If Trixie and Troisienne can die, I guess they are still not strong enough (after all, only Alv and Devegr died in Kiddy Grade). And stop crying will you, you better get used to this. And Geacht'er, come out and fight will you, you freaking hell of a gay. Someone tell me what happened to Eclair and Lumiere? Will they come out at the end of the series to kill Geacht'er? I hope they do.

Kiddy Girl-and episode 10

The beginning is more 'emotional'. Seeing how Un-ou and Tweedledum have to undergo treatment and Tweedledee indirectly saying that she wants revenge. Ascoeur and Q-feuille still can't get over Trixie & Troisienne's death (which kind of irritates me). If you haven't heard of this saying, then hear it now: "It isn't about how long you live that matters but rather the time spent together." Get this line in your head. And be more positive like Dia. She's only 7+ but her attitude is much better than the both of you. Then there's a whole load of fighting and they get acredited as subordinates at the end of the episode. They are only C class members which most likely means that they have a very long way to go till G class (which I guess is the top class since Eclair & Lumiere are actually of that class). The only other C class members would be Viola and Cersario (everyone else is S class).

And, just for fun, the name of Tweedledee & Tweedledum's guard robot is Dodo.

2009-12-28T20:52:00.002+08:00

Kiddy Girl-and episode 7

We start the episode with Un-ou cross dressing and A-ou saying that they'll arrived late for their special mission. As for Trixie & Torisienne's spaceship, it reminds me of La Muse (Eclair & Lumiere's spaceship). Then there's a whole load of hoo-ha over being molested (seriously, show something interesting). And considering how long Cheshire Cat (Tweedledee & Tweedledum's spaceship)has been around, Ascoeur, how fantastic do you expect it to be? After they warp out, there's a whole load of fighting which can be better. The fighting in Kiddy Grade was much better (it's not really fighting, space battle rather). As for the guard robot Triumph, he doesn't really look like he can do alot unlike Donnarschlang. And Ascoeur should really learn to shut up and act properly. As for Torch & Shade (aka the enemy), they should have appeared in Kiddy Grade. It would have been more fun with such characters. And I agree that they have a long way to go, especially Ascoeur. It would probably take them forever to reach the standard of the original ES members of Kiddy Grade.

Kiddy Girl-and episode 8

THIS EPISODE CAN BE AN UTTER WASTE OF TIME SO YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO WATCH IT.
The first 3 minutes or so is nothing very important so you can just watch A-ou rant out Tweedledee and Tweedledum not being around. Pauk is super irritating while Letuchie looks like she's a modified version of V.V. from Code Geass. The original ES members also 'appear' in Letuchie speach (we get to see them again~). There's a close up of the G Society logo and the fine print on the sides say "GREAT-EARTHLIAN; GEM of the GALAXY; GRANDCHILDREN of GAIA; GUARDIAN'S GARDEN" (clockwise) for those who are interested or missed it. Geatch'er (aka head of G society) does have a pretty interesting way of killing people without getting his hands dirty but how powerful that skill is (on non-humans), we've yet to find out. The pictures that were taken from the camera set up at GTO of ES members is pretty cute (I still wonder what happened to the other original ES members).

2009-12-28T20:26:00.002+08:00

Kiddy Girl-and episode 6 is super lame.
THIS EPISODE IS AN UTTER WASTE OF TIME AND IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE STORYLINE SO IT'S ALRIGHT TO SKIP THIS EPISODE.
The first half (or 6A) is on those office relationships between director ad secretary. Even though it sounds like it's going to be some porn show, it's still super lame. Unless you get horny super easily, this first half is an utter waste of time. I only had fun laughing at Ascoeur and Q-fueille and their reactions. Seriously, try to beat Lousie and Saito's kissing scenes before you even air it. If there was an award for "Most number of kissing scenes in the shortest period of time", they win.

The second half (or 6B) starts of with some sort of yaoi thing which I find lame as well. And Belle, you go girl. The Alisa scripted yaoi anime is hilarious (to me at least) and Tama looks gay as a human. And the only word he can say is "tama". And then there are more yaoi scenes with Tama speaking in different languages (including chinese). Then there a whole lot of crap and Tama being super lame and the shops gets destroyed in the end. Tama should seriously remain as that little green thing around Dia's neck.

2009-12-26T21:40:00.004+08:00

I am currently watching Kiddy Girl-and. I'm only watching it so that I can find out what happened to Eclair and Lumiere. At least Tweedledee and Tweedledum have much nicer outfits. And Q-fueille is a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura. But they can't call it CCS so they call it Card Getter Sakura. Given that CCS is prabably what made CLAMP world famous, I won't be surprised.
As for Dia, she's the next Viola maybe (what happened to Viola anyway?). Just that Viola's more mature than she is. And Saphir and Ryubis are the next Alv and Devegr (since they are both dead). And it's a know fact that without Dia, Ascoeur & Q-fueille would be pretty useless.
In episode 5, where they return to the GOTT (it's no longer in use), there is a laboratory where, probably the only time in the whole series, where you get to see the whole original cast of Kiddy Grade in picture form (Eclair and Lumiere were in another body though). It seems that there is a record of when they were born, or maybe genetically modified, or when they become ES members.

2009-12-13T23:56:00.002+08:00

Things I've wondered about:

1) Is Kendappa-ou a lesbian?
She loves strong people, and Souma is one of them. And she kills herself because she wants to be with Souma or something (I've got to check). She is one of my favourite CLAMP characters but I THINK she MIGHT BE a lesbian.

2) Is Lelouch a gay?
In the anime, not so much. In pictures, probably. We all know that he & Suzaku are good friends but I think it's going to evlove into something abit more...

3) Does Japan, during the time where Shaman King is set (probably 6-7 years ago?), discourage pre-marial sex?
Everyone who has read the manga would know that Anna was pregnant at 14 (should be). Yoh & Anna most probably got married after the Shaman fight so if you do some calculations, their son was born when they were 15 (I guess).

4) How much sleep does Faust actually lack?
Again, if you have read the Shaman King manga, you would have noticed those 'iconic' dark circles Faust has. When he first set eyes on Eliza (he was probably 7 or 8), he already had dark circles. And he's still a young kid.

5) Why do crazy guys who want to be kings of the world have names that start with the letter 'L'?
No, not L Lawliet. Light & Lelouch. If you have read/watched Death Note & Code Geass, go compare the two of them. They have alot in common. Light managed to live 2 years more than Lelouch if I'm not wrong.

6) Who is the person Mong Ryong is bringing Chun Hyang to meet?
CLAMP has not finished this manga yet but they said in an interview that she'll end up meeting someone and we might be able to guess who. Other than Mong Ryong's parents, I have no clue.

7) What will happen to Kamui?
In X chapter 18.5, the last scene is where Fuma (or the other Kamui) threatens to kill Kamui. Will he die? I hope not. There are very few purple-eyed characters out there.

8) Why did Tsugumi die?
The last scene of Mitsuganae is one which I don't really understand. It's somewhat related to some incident in the earlier part of the season (or aybe it's the earlier seasons) but I don't really know what relationship she has with the person she killed or why the persons' mother knew she was going to kill him. Tsugumi is one of my favourite Jigoku Shoujo characters.

9) Is Asyura male or female?
It's one of those Lady Gaga cases. Asyura looks somewhat female yet seems male. But Tenou calls Asyura his brother. But Asyura looks female and females cosplay as Asyura. I'm bummed...

10) Is Saber male or female?
Everyone who has watched/read Fate/Stay Night would say Saber is female. But she is supposed to be King Arthur. And the is a drawing of her with male genitals. I'll go with female. I don't think Shirou wants to be gay.

2009-12-13T21:23:00.003+08:00

Ani-manga characters which look cute when they were kids (no particular order):
Note: If they are kids in the anime/manga or take the form of a kid, they don't count.

1) Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth

2) Chun Hyang from Shin Shun Kaden

3) Kamui & Kotori from X (or X/1999)
The artwork for Lelouch & Nulnally from Code Geass seems to be based off the two of them.

4) Faust & Eliza from Shaman King
It was love at frist sight. And Faust really loves Eliza. If you've read the manga, you know what I mean.

5) Kendappa-ou & Kissyouten from Rg Veda
Kendappa-ou wins when it comes to beauty after 300 years

6) Sakura & Shaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura
I prefer this version of them over the TRC version

7) Rin from Fate/Stay Night

8) InuYasha, Sango & Kohaku (maybe) from InuYasha

9) Louise from Zero no Tsukaima

10) Rosette from Chrno Crusade

11) Lavie & Claus from Last Exile

That's all I can think of right now.

For the love of CLAMP: CLAMP's star characters
They are those characters who appear in early version of CLAMP in Wonderland picture and CLAMP Su pictures.
The first 6 are those whom you'll find in almost every single CLAMP group art.

- Asyura from Rg Veda
- Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth
- Subaru from Tokyo Babylon
- Miyuki from Miyuki-chan In Wonderlad
- Kamui from X
- Chun Hyang from Shin Shun Kaden
- Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura (some)
- Misaki from Angelic Layer (some of the newer pics)
- Watanuki from xxxHOLiC (Newer versions)

- Su from CLOVER (some pics only)
- Kobato from Kobato (some of the newer pics)
- Chii from Chobits (few)
- Syaoran from TRC (some of the newer pics)
- Yuko from xxxHOLiC (some of the newer pics)

Something to look forward to if you are a Fate/Stay Night fan:
Fate/Stay Night Tv reproduction - 22nd January

Most animes of beginning 2o10 don't really excite me. The last time I watch anime was 9 months ago. Maybe that's why.

2009-12-07T20:37:00.002+08:00

Why I hate Vampire Knight.

I used to love that show when it was still Zero & Kaname fighting over Yuki. No fancy stuff yet (around volume 7). Then I watched Rozen Maiden, Trinity Blood etc. and found out that Vampire Knight is not that fantastic. When I loved VK, the anime wasn't out yet. I still read the manga as I want to know what's going to happen (even though it's super boring right now).

Reasons why I hate VK:

1) Kaname looks gay. He should go join the BOF guys or something.

2) Incest. Check the dictionary if you don't know what it means.

3) Kaname can be killed quite easily actually. With Crusniks like Abel & Seth (Trinity Blood) and killers like Saya (Blood: The Last Vampire) and demons that move at light speed (I can only think of Sesshomaru), what are his chances of surviving? So what if you're a vampire? Didn't a pureblood get killed in the latest chapter?

4) Who the hell is the "Knight" in "Vampire Knight"? Kaname is definately not of knightly status. He's too gay.

5) Yuki's too... I dunno, can't think of the word right now. Unless you are a crusnik, for *fill in yourself* sake, suck blood. No, not your own. That's what vampire's/leeches/mosquitoes do. And if you have to choose between Kaname and Zero, choose Zero, you've spent enought time with Kaname. And he's too gay. And I really want to kill him. (By now you'd have figured that I'm a Kaname hater. I support Zero; he's more down to Earth.)

6) Pure bloods are no where near Crusniks. Crusniks can do everything pure bloods can do. And they are more powerful than pure bloods. If you don't know what Crusniks are, they are vampire that drink vampire blood and only vampire blood (they drink human blood indirectly). Seth may appear as a little girl but she's way more powerful than you think.

7) So what if you are an immortal. There are enough immortals in the ani-manga world. Plus the chiropterans. [They were discovered in the House of Rothschild's rare animal collection (it's not guaranteed to be true) and described to be "blood-sucking primates with the ability to mimic humans" (and control them)]Let's list some immortals we know of: C.C. from Code Geass, characters from Rg Veda, Crusniks, Saya from BloodTLV etc.

8) So what if you like in a mansion ona mountain. I'd rather live in Yuko's shop. It's way more interesting that being left in a super huge house with nothing to do.

9) The flashy stuff's not flashy enough. The chapters where there was fighting were pretty boring. You spend like 5 chapter talking and doing some low standard and make people bored when the Shaman King gang can spend 5 chapter doing a pretty good fight and with some comedy. Even Asyura from Rg Veda can kill more people than you can in 5 chapters. Try beating the Dragons of Heaven & the Dragons of Earth from X (or X/1999). They have destroyed parts of Japan (on paper, of course).

10) Not enough exciting stuff. It's not a violence manga, the romance part isn't fantastic, the only thing that's happening now is talking which is serious boring. You sure you want a 1989 manga to defeat you? (The 1989 manga is Rg Veda by the way.)

2009-12-06T22:01:00.001+08:00

I've know this for quite a while and I wanted to do a post on it but since the lovely Miss Marina decided to make a video on it, here it is. If you are a science lover, watch it.

2009-11-27T22:07:00.002+08:00

Anime characters I hate updated version
Note: You have all rights to disagree with me. Just don't post any hater comments. This is, after all, my personal opinion.

1) Siesta from Zero no Tsukaima.
I've got nothing to say about her. She is the worst anime character I've come across. And she's probably the most hated ZnT character (go google to see if I'm right. I haven't done that though). If I could kill her, I would. I HATE HER TO THE CORE.

2) Shirley from Code Geass
I find her irritating for some reason. In terms of I-like-the-guy-and-I-want-his-affection in the anime world, she should learn from Yoshida Kazumi from Shakugan no Shana. Speaking of SnS, there is said to be a third season...

3) Euphemia from Code Geass.
She's nice and all but I seriously don't like her. It's mainly because I can't tolerate her and her talk. That's why I didn't take a photo of the cosplayer who cosplayed her.

4) Vampire Knight characters.
I was in love with it wayyyy before the anime came out but by the time it did, Rozen Maiden had won me over and the whole manga wasn't that fantastic anymore. And, as you know, I've an issue with vampires.

5) Tiffania from Zero no Tsukaima.
She's a cute character and has a body where guys will go crazy over because she's an elf an all, but her innocence bothers me.

6) Henrietta from Zero no Tsukaima.
She is a good friend of Louise but she has alot of weak points which might bring her down.

7) Kmi ga Nozomu Eien characters.
I've had an issue with some of the characters but I watched that anime in 2005 and I don't really care about that anime anymore.

8) Kikyo from InuYasha.
I just don't like her. And I don't care whether InuYasha once loved her or not. He ends up with Kagome in the end anyway.

9) Lelouch from Code Geass
I don't really hate him but I hate the way he looks. He reminds me of those Boys Over Flowers guys (the Korean one, not the Japanese one). The guys look too beautiful to be considered guys (I said beautiful, not handsome, beautiful). And you want to rule the world. I'd start a rebellion of my own.

2009-11-24T00:01:00.002+08:00

Things that I WANT to do but I have no time to:
1) Go to the gym. I'm not that fit, you know.
2) Learn how to speak Japanese properly
3) Learn how to draw. I seriously draw like a 10 year old.
4) Read more. I've so many book that I have not read.
5) Learn how to play the electric guitar. My schedule's full.
6) Give D.Gray Man a chance and watch the show/read the manga. Watching 100+ episodes of an anime and reading 150+ chapters of a manga takes a while (I can read 300 chapters of a manga in 3-4 days but an anime? I don't think so). I even bought a D.Gray Man note book during AFA (it's super cute. Couldn't resist).

2009-11-21T20:45:00.003+08:00

Some cosplayers I took pictures of at AFA09 day 1 (not going to post their pics as it's going to take a while):
- Chii, Freya, Sumomo & Kotoko from Chobits (I loved the first Chii that I took. She's really cute) - Suigintou, Suiseiseki & Souseiseki from Rozen Maiden
- The guy from Final Fantasy (don't know the name)
- Zero from Vampire Knight (I hate the show but those guys cosplaying were super cool)
- InuYasha from InuYasha
- Yuko from xxxHOLiC (I love her outfit)
- Light & Misa from Death Note (I saw L but didn't know where he went)
- Two Nations from Hetaila Axis Powers
- Ichigo from Bleach
- The 5 K-ON! girls (don't know their names)
- Ranka from Macross Frontier (The one I picture is really pretty)
- Meg & Jo from Burst Angel
- Naruto & the sword weilding guy from Naruto Shippuden
- One of the Mario brothers (almost forgot him)
- A boy as Naruto
And many othes from animes/mangas/games that I do not know of.

I also saw a guy as Archer from Fate/Saty Night & one boy as Taichi from Digimon Adventure. Louise & Saito from Zero no Tsukaima as well as Kagome from InuYasha. And May & Torchic (is that how you spell it?) from Pokemon.
I'm surprised I did not see any One Piece characters.
My favourite photo would be the one of one of the AFA exhibitors. She had this lovely outfit and it just look so beautiful.

Tomorrow is AFA09.

SOMEONE COME WITH ME TO AFA09 ON SUNDAY.
NEXT TIME WILL BE NEXT YEAR.

Some animes that came out in 2002.
PREPARE TO BE SURPRISED

1) Full Metal Panic!
It's actually that old.

2) Galaxy Angel Z
Really?

3) Chobits
The manga ended that year.

4) Tokyo Mew Mew
There's an anime?

5) Miromo Zibang!
Never watched it but I thought it came out in 2004 or something.

6) Digimon Frontier
Should have seen that coming.

7) Azumanga Daioh
It's that old, people. It's that old.

8) Twelve Kingdoms
I've watched it 3 times and I didn't know that.

9) Samurai Deeper Kyo
Never watched it but I though it was pretty new.

10) Naruto
I do not wish to have any relations with this show but this is one for the record.

11) Getbackers
Never watched it but it seemed new.

12) Mobile Suit Gundam Seed
I knew about this one.

13) Galaxy Angel A
Really?

14) Kiddy Grade
REALLY?!

15) Duel Masters
I wonder why people are still so crazy about an old show...

16) Pokemon Advanced
Just for the fun of it.

84 animes came out that year

2009-11-15T21:52:00.003+08:00

Bad Romance. Catchy song. The video's kinda weird. Awesome dance routine.
Here are song other videos with great dance routines (in order of which ones I could think of first):

1) Get Up and Move by Koda Kumi
This is one hell of a fun routine. Go watch the video if you haven't. Better still, learn it and teach it to 7 other friends and perform it.

2) Wild by Namie Amuro
Love the song and the dance. It might take you a while to learn it but it's a great dance.

3) Can't Sleep, Can't Eat, I'm Sick by Naime Amuro
It's pretty fun to learn. Might require you to watch it a few times though.

4) Reason by Nami Tamaki
Almost non-stop dancing. It looks hard to learn at first but it's easier than you think.

5) Single Ladies by Beyonce
It's a great song and the dance is pretty good but I don't really see it being performed alot. It's pretty easy to learn though.

6) Real Me by Ayumi Hamasaki
The song is really catchy and the dance is quite easy to learn. Just remember to do it in mirror image.

7) LAST ANGEL feat. Tohoshiki by Koda Kumi
I love this song. It's a really good song to dance to. The only problem is that you can't really see the dance moves very well.

8) TABOO by Koda Kumi
A great dance hit. The only worth learning dance part is the last routine she does at the end of the video which lasts, I don't know, 20 seconds?

9) ECSTACY by Koda Kumi
To me, it's the greatest dance hit of all time. It's a pity that they did not put alot of dance segments in the video.

10) Lick Me by Koda Kumi
It's more of a cutesy dance really. The song's catchy though.

11) Bad Romance by Lady Gaga
I love the dance routine at the end of the video. Go watch it now if you haven't.

There are many more videos with great dance routines but here are those that I think are worth watching at least.

Moving on...
Party in The USA. People like it. People hate it. But here's a song which I think you should really listen to. It's a spoof of Party in The USA and it's a great song.
WATCH IT NOW.

2009-11-11T17:36:00.004+08:00

Countdown to AFA09 post

There are many anime characters that I like so I'm going to do a post on those that I hate.
Note: You have all rights to disagree with me. Just don't post any hater comments. This is, after all, my personal opinion.

1) Siesta from Zero no Tsukaima.
I've got nothing to say about her. She is the worst anime character I've come across. And she's probably the most hated ZnT character (go google to see if I'm right. I haven't done that though). If I could kill her, I would.

2) Euphemia from Code Geass.
She's nice and all but I seriously don't like her. It's mainly because I can't tolerate her and her talk.

3) Vampire Knight characters.
I was in love with it wayyyy before the anime came out but by the time it did, Rozen Maiden had won me over and the whole manga wasn't that fantastic anymore. And, as you know, I've an issue with vampires.

4) Tiffania from Zero no Tsukaima.
She's a cute character and has a body where guys will go crazy over because she's an elf an all, but her innocence bothers me.

5) Henrietta from Zero no Tsukaima.
She is a good friend of Louise but she has alot of weak points which might bring her down.

6) Kmi ga Nozomu Eien characters.
I've had an issue with some of the characters but I watched that anime in 2005 and I don't really care about that anime anymore.

7) Kikyo from InuYasha.
I just don't like her. And I don't care whether InuYasha once loved her or not. He ends up with Kagome in the end anyway.

Then there are 4 animes which I cannot give a verdict on whether I've any character I hate because I've not watched more than 10 episodes.

1) Seto no Hanayome. To me it isn't a very fantastic anime. It's supposed to be a comedy but Honey and Clover bags that one. I might continue watching it if I'm bored.

2) A little snow fairy Sugar. Cute anime but it's more suitable for young kids, to me at least. I'm used to violence and such.

3) Nana. The story progresses at a fairly slow rate so if you're not into such animes, don't watch. The opening and ending songs are nice though.

4) D.Gray Man. It's so popular but it sadly didn't win me over. Chapter 1 of the manga killed my interest for the whole thing. You can tell me to watch the anime instead but I can't stand animes more than 30 episodes per season. D.Gray Man has 103 episodes in total.
And I didn't even watch the whole 100 odd episodes of InuYasha. And now there's a continuation of it.
I can survive super long mangas though. Shaman King has 300 chapters and Shaman King - Flowers makes it 301 chapters. D.Gray Man is currently at chapter 188. I could force myself to read it and pray that it doesn't win me over from Jigoku Shoujo. But I'm not going to do that.

2009-11-10T19:08:00.002+08:00

Some animes of 2008. I said SOME.

1) xxxHOLiC: Kei

2) Macross Frontier (Never watched it but the songs are nice)

3) Code Geass R2

4) Vampire Knight (Be it vampires I hate like Edward, Kaname & Zero or vampires I like like Abel, Seth and Ion from Trinity Blood, I've an issue with all of them: their blood type.)

5) Zero no Tsukaima: Princesses no Rondo

6) ToraDora

7) Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae

A total of 130 animes came out that year. Now that's alot.

2009-11-07T21:38:00.002+08:00

Warning: If you are some passerby, this post will be very much useless to you. Unless you are a cosplayer who has nothing much to do or you are cosplaying for the first time, then you can go ahead and read this. If you are no one of them, this post will not benefit you whatsoever and will be a waste of your time reading it.

As I am looking for a good deal for Ai's seigaku, I noticed something: the length of wigs. Ai's wig is 80 cm. Here's the thing: what are you basing your character upon?

1) Anime (if any)
You are dealing with an anime character and most people cosplay based on anime characters. I'd suggest you base your character on which came out first (anime or manga) and which one has better art (for more accuracy). Since animes are usually the "more accurate" ones, observe your character to the tiniest detail. This includes how their fringe is styled, what kind of gun they use (Eclair uses a 0.45 caliber Walther P99) hair length, skirt/pants length, outfit stitching etc.

2) Manga (if any)
You are at a slight disadvantage because it's black and white and the manga might differ from the anime in terms of attire and hair length. But the anime and manga do have some relation in one way or another (Blood: The Last Vampire & Blood+ have some similarities but they are mainly two different stories FYI)

3) Pictures
The most inaccurate thing to base your character on. Simply because there are slight alterations and exaggerations in pictures.

Back to the wig. It's 80 cm, which is very much the hair length of Ai in pictures or maybe the manga. But in the anime, her hair is only about 60 cm. Unless you cut it, you are technically making a mistake.

And of course, I still have an issue on the blood type of Vampires.

2009-11-03T23:01:00.002+08:00

Dear Atlantica World,

I'm back! After over one year of not touching the game, damaging my own notebook and such, I've finally fixed my notebook and reinstalled the game. I stopped playing around August last year and it took me around 10 minutes to get used to the controls again. They added a few new stuff and changed some stuff so it's slightly different. I'm trying to get my Beast Trainer now since I got disconnected while on my quest last year and never went back again.

I LOVE ATLANTICA!

I can't believe I'm in division 14 for Free League. I though I was in 15 or something. And I'm only level 45. Wow.

2009-11-02T21:58:00.002+08:00

Some animes that came out almost a decade ago (2000):

1) Mon Colle Knights. I remember it being shown on Kids Central but I can't remember what it's about.

2) Digimon Adventure 02. You are an utter disgrace if you don't know what it's about.

3) Yu-gi-oh. I acutally thought it came out later.

4) Hamtaro. Nothing to say about it.

5) Inuyasha. Bet you didn't know that.

50 animes came out that year.

As for 2001:

1) Beyblade. I though it came out later.

2) Angelic Layer. This one too.

3) Digimon Tamers. And this one.

4) Galaxy Angel. I though it came out in 2000.

5) Shaman King. I didn't see this one coming.

6) X. Though that came out later too.

7) Hellsing. Didn't see this one coming either.

8) Prince of Tennis. To all you PoT fans, the show is that old.

89 animes came out that year.

2009-11-02T21:23:00.004+08:00

If you thought 300 chapters of Shaman King means it's over, it's not. The continuation (if that's what you want to call it) is called Flowers -Hana's Epoch-. Yoh and Anna are off somehwere so the story is about their son. There's a girl who appears at the end of the chapter called Anna the third. If Hana's mother is Anna the first, who's Anna the second? And she's a decendant of Hao, which means they are somewhat related. This is very complicated but I foresee the relationship between the two of them more interesting then Yoh and Anna's.

And after looking at what's in store (anime, manga & light novels) for December 09/January 10, there's nothing much that I'm interested in (beacuse there's nothing much coming out). So go finish up all those series you were watching or go watch a new series or rewatch a whole series (not recommended if the show is over 100 episodes). I recommend Burst Angel if you haven't watch it.

7 Things. That song by Miley Cyrus where she seems to list down more than 7 things she likes/hates about a guy when it actually totals up to 7.

7 things I hate about Cabal:
1) Graphics suck. Nothing much to say about that.
2) Stubborn characters. I beat Daerea, my counsin's chinchilla, is smarter.
3) Limited quests. You hit peak at level 35 and in slowly goes down.
4) Pets that are of not much use. They don't fight.
5) No auto run function. You have to manually run and since your characters aren't so smart, you get what I mean.
6) Auto attack isn't even auto attack. You have to do the first hit yourself. How's that even auto?
7) The camera is very irritating. Chase view, free view, why can't they have fixed view?

7 thing I love about Atlantica:
1) The graphics are the best! Way better than Audition by the way.
2) Mercenaries. They help you with your fights and they rock.
3) Endless supply of quests. Once you are out of quests (which I think is never going to happen), just do the title quests. There are at least 90 of them maybe.
4) The mount is so cool. I don't have a horse or anything so I'm not sure what they can do other than increase your movement speed.
5) Auto run & auto attack. They move from place to place for you and they fight for you. Only disadvantage is that you only have 20 auto attacks at one go.
6) You get to travel around the world. And they lands are gorgeous.
7) Dungeons don't look like dungeons. They are very much like all other hunting grounds. And many people can enter and hunt at the same time.

First up, AFA09 update:
Pre-registration has started. Ticket collection will be on the 20th and pre-registration will only apply for 2 day passes. And they only accept cash. For more info, got to http://www.afa09.com/

Warning: Unless you have watched the Kiddy Grade anime, the following would seem useless and senseless to you. Going to another website is advised.
Or you could just google and find out the background info of what I'm talking about.

Kiddy Girl-and
A sequel to the Kiddy Grade anime. After watching the first episode, and comparing it to the first episode of Kiddy Grade, it isn't as fantastic. Eclair & Lumiere appear in the first couple of minutes of the show along with fellow ES member Un-ou, A-ou, Tweedledee & Tweedledum. Eclair & Lumiere sacrifice their lives (most likely) to save the planet in danger. 25 years after the incident, we see two ES members in training, Ascoeur & Q-feuille which embody part of Eclair & Lumiere's persona (I said part of).

Ascoeur, unlike Eclair, is extremely irritating to me. She has a comb for a weapon which is similar to Eclair's lipstick. Her comb can transform into a light saber like sword and can fire tranquilisers and she can move extremely fast/teleport like Eclair. She is more of and open & wild sort of person, which is like Eclair in a sense that Lumiere say that Eclair should be more lady-like. Ascoeur kinda reminds me of Viola too. Ascoeur's full power has not been revealed yet but I wonder whether she'll have super strength or not (Eclair does if she applies her lipstick).

Q-feuille is more lady-like, which is similar to Lumiere and I like her more (obviously). She doesn't drink wine like Lumiere & the only thing she did in the first episode was release jamming gas. Both Ascoeur & Q-feuille are still in training so coming to a conclusion is still too early.

The only ES members from Kiddy Grade who appeared after the 25 years would be Tweedledee & Tweedledum, donning different outfits. It's still them. They don't take different form unlike Eclair & Lumiere it seem (or maybe they just haven't taken another form). The ES members used to work at the GOTT (Global Organisation of Trade and Tariffis) but now they work for GTO (Glabal Trade Organisation). What happened to the GOTT? God knows.

Eclair & Lumiere have Donnerschlag, La Muse & Wirbelwind(AI in their spaceship). They are C-class as first glance but have G-class abilities. What would the two trainees get when they are acredited, time will tell.

Songs heard at Orchard:
1) Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus (twice)
2) Songs by Lady Gaga
3) Low
4) Promiscuous
5) And one which I cannot remember

2009-10-13T17:25:00.002+08:00

Public Caning. Seem quite a few of them in my life. Mostly in primary school. So in today's news on Asiaone, a girl was left traumatised after she saw a public caning. Traumatised? That's a first.

1) How scary is a public caning to the observer? The first public caning I saw was when I was in primary 1. That's 7 years old. No one cried. It's not even scary. Maybe the prison canings but how scary is a public caning? To a 7 year old me it was like nothing. I didn't really care what was going on. But if I did, it was more of an interesting thing.
If all the P1 kids at my time could go through, it why can't you?

2) How old was the girl? If she was in P1, it's either she didn't understand what's going on or the school didn't explain about the situation clearly. If she was older, she shouldn't even be crying. She should be old enough to understand why they do such things. Unless her parents protect her too much. But that's a whole new topic.

Well, before the discipline master in my primary school changed, all the students who got caned cried. Maybe the girl cried because the students who got caned cried. It's good that you know how to emphatise with people but don't overdo it. Someone tell her what's going on please. If you could get traumatised after seeing a public caning, I wish you good luck in life.

How to save money (If you're not a full time cosplayer, you can ignore this if you want)
I found out yesterday that Enma Ai's uniform has more than one use. You can cosplay as Ai & Saya with the same outfit. I don't know about the anime but Saya is seen wearing the black sailor suit which is very much the same as the one Ai wears in Blood: The Last Vampire movie/manga/movie (Gianna Jun wears heels in the movie if I'm not wrong). So you could save up your money, buy one costume and cosplay as two characters.

2009-10-13T00:05:00.002+08:00

Animes I want to watch but I don't have time to but I shall use the post-exam time to do that:
1) Blood+ (I've got a feeling it might win me over from Jigoku Shoujo. Oh boy. I hope it doesn't)
2) Kobato (I hope the animation is good)
3) Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (I've read the light novel but I'd like to see how they animate it)
4) Honey & Clover (I've yet to watch season 2)

2009-10-11T23:23:00.003+08:00

AFA 09 updates:

Tickets (they're more expensive than last year):
Students - $12 for one day; $20 for both
Normal visitors - $15 for one day; $25 for both
If you're 12 under, you enter for free
It was $5/day & $8 for two days last year for everyone

I *heart* anisong:
Go to sistic if you want a ticket. Nearest from where I am is Bishan Junction 8.
1 day concert pass (available from 26th)
Includes min 2 hours/2 artist performances
1 lightstick (kinda pathetic)
1 AFA 1 day pass
That's $108

2 day concert pass (available from 19th)
Includes min 4 hours/5artist performances
2 lightsticks (can't they give something better)
1 AFA 2 day pass
That's $188

Who you'd be able to catch:
Hatsune Miku (I've every single album she has ever released but I'm not into her)
K-ON! (Don't know, don't care)
May'n (She's back)
Shoko Nakagawa (Not sure who she is)
Yoshiki Fukuyama (Not sure who he is either)
Ichirou Mizuki (He's back)

If renowned cosplayer Kaname *star* is coming, why can't they ask renowned internet cosplay sensation Arisa Mizuhara to come?

Everything if from the AFA09 website. If you want a more colourful page and more write up on all the artists, go there instead.

So for this year's AFA, bring more money. The ticket prices just doubled (plus a couple more dollars) and I bet everything else is going to be expensive. Don't you just hate the recession? (this is problably due to the fact that they are bringing in more stuff and such)
Maybe they are the ones feeling the pinch so they are trying to make us feel the pinch too. God knows. But why the hell do they have to double the ticket prices. Good thing I went last year if not I'd think this thing is expensive. Good thing I'm a student too.

2009-10-10T22:24:00.009+08:00

2009-10-09T20:17:00.006+08:00

The iJustine game. I've been playing it for over an hour. And Shane Dawson got me (and probably a whole lot of other people) hooked on it. In case you don't know what's going on, google them or find them on Youtube or Twitter. And I'm so glad that Kandee Johnson did the Cruella de Vil look I (and probably others) requested on her blog (or was it one of the comments?)

Song I played during the iJustine game:
(I don't listen to that many English songs)
1) Single Ladies
2) Party in the USA
3) We are Golden
4) Boom Boom Pow
5) Just Dance
6) Barbie Girl
7) Low
8) Hollaback Girl
9) When I Grow Up
10) Poker Face
11) Waking Up in Vegas
12) Hot N Cold
13) Disturbia
14) Book of Days (It turned out better than I thought for a song by Enya)
15) He said, She said
16) Bop to the Top (It went better than I thought)
17) Lose my Breath
18) Don't Stop the Music
19) We're All In This Together (Since Shane Dawson said that iJustine was about Disney and Ketchup on Youtube in one video)

For the Japanese song:
(I don't think iJustine will ever sing in Japanese but it was for self entertainment sake)
1) Queen Bee with BIGGA RAIJI
2) TABOO
3) ECSTASY (It's my favourate dance song of all time so I had to)
4) show girl (It was the most awkward)
5) Reason (The dance moves do go pretty well)
6) Black Cherry (Unsuitable)
7) Get Up & Move
8) LAST ANGEL feat. Tohoshinki
9) D.D.D. feat. Soulhead
10) FUNKY TOWN (It went pretty well actually)
11) Hare Hare Yukai (This was so wrong. Attempt Motteke! Se-ra-fuku at your own risk)
12) WoWa

And since the word boomz is pretty popular now, there have been videos made on it. My favourtie on was the Singapore Idol one to the song Boom Boom Pow. That one was really cute. This one's cute too:

2009-10-06T17:27:00.003+08:00

TRC the manga has ended. That 233 chapters and one hell of a journey. It's not very long (as compared to mangas like Shaman King or Inuyasaha) but it's extreamly complicated, especially near the end so if you don't folloow, you might have a hard time knowing what's going on. It starts off as trying to retrieve Sakura's memories. That lasts for about the first 10 volumes or so. Then all the "fun stuff" happens. You might need to read xxxHOLiC to understand the whole story better (there's some linkage since the characters appear in both mangas at certain points). And just for those who haven't read, Sakura & Syaoran's real name is something you have seen through every chapter and alot of right at the beginning. You always see it but you never expected it to be so.

Blogging:
1) Good way to destress
2) Good way to improve language flow, along with journal writing
3) Good way to find out who has actually read your blog (not really who but where the person's from rather)
4) Good way to see who is up to date
5) Good way to note down stuff/help you remember stuff

The only other thing that I've copyrighted would be my Louise & Saito pic as well as my photoshoot along with this picture. I had to copyright this pic as it is my display pic for all of my accounts (other than Myspace).

Why are all my posts anime/manga related?
Beacuse it's the only thing worth blogging about right now? No one's really interested about how you feel about your English paper. And AFA 09 is coming. And I made Constance really excited before English oral. And I want to see how many people are outdated.
So for the fourth time in a row: READ THE FOURTH POST IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE CALLED OUTDATED.
Feel free to copy/paste/edit that post on your blog. Just note that that was written yesterday and Inuyasha aired on the 5th.
And who cares about the fact that English paper is over. Without a pass in English there is no future.

200th post: Cosplaying as Ai
If you want to know how she looks like in the manga, look at the side bar ->
If you want to know how she looks like in the anime, click here: http://www.jigokushoujo.com
Difficulty might differ depending on which version of her you would want to cosplay as.
I won't state the obviously obvious stuff (like her skirt length and such).

Anime version:
She isn't very tall and she has fairly pale skin (and I mean pale). She has straight bangs and the hair next to her ears are cut straight. Her hair length is about chest level and also cut straight.
Her face seems more rounded and, which Jigoku Shoujo followers would know, she eats cherries.

Manga version:
She seems taller than her anime self and she doesn't have straight bangs. She is very much similar to the anime since the manga is based off the anime. She doesn't seem that pale.

How hard would it be for me to cosplay as Ai? Very. Mainly beacuse I'm much taller than Ai and I don't have three servants who are taller than me. I cannot imitate the tone of voice Mamiko Noto used when she seiyued Ai. I do not have perfect vision (lenses that come in crazy colours do not have degree, cosplayers should know that).
But will I still cosplay as Ai? If I get a chance to, of course. She is the only character I want to cosplay as.
Will any other anime win me over from Jigoku Shoujo & Honey & Clover? Only if I think are better than those two.

Quote of the week:
Does anybody read my blog?
- Kandee Johnson
(She has a blog so go google her to find out her url)

I've been wanting to post this for a while. And read the post after this if you want to know about some upcoming (or already started) animes.

Zettai Kareshi VS Chobits
The two shows that feature machines which I really like (Chii isn't really considered a robot so machines seems like a more suitable word).

Zettai Kareshi VS Chobits
Note: I'm comparing the manga beacuse I've read both of them.

The human: Riiko Hideki

The machine: Night Chii

Purpose: The perfect lover Someone who can keep you company? (Can't remember, go google it)

Memory Status: Knows everything Riiko likes & hates Clueless about life

Creator: Kronos Heaven (company manned by mostly kids) Chitose's husband (appears as the same fella as Misaki's dad in Angelic Layer)

Problem: Wants to become more human She's not what you thought

Good Points: He knows how to be a good boyfriend (duh!) She understanding

Manga release: 2004 2003

Media: Live action (and maybe drama CD too) Anime (didn't watch)

Machine Packaging: Box with instructions Wrapped up in bandages (he found he as an unwanted Chobit)

Activation: Kiss on the lips Go find out yourself (I'd rather not write it even though it might not seem like some censored stuff to you)

Ending: He "dies" (at least until the movie) She gets to be with Hideki

Why is it nice to watch/read: He goes all out for Riiko She cute, I guess?

Year I read the manga: 2009 2007 (or was it 08?)

I can't really remember how the Chobits manga acutally went since it has been quite a while.

Who wins?
I like both of them but if you want a touching story, Zettai Kareshi. Night's really a good guy for a 2D character. If you want a and-they-lived-happily-ever-after story, Chobits. Hideki & Chii get to be together and what happens to them after than is not known.

47 days till AFA09 (correct me if I counted wrongly)
Animes to take note of (Sep-Nov):

1) Sangoku Engi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms)
For all those who don't want to read the book but are still interested in the story (like me).

2) Kobato
Anime starts in Japan on Tuesday (6th)
The ongoing manga by CLAMP. I hope the animation does not suck like TRC.

3) Fuuyuu no Sonata (Winter Sonata)
Anime starts in Japan on the 17th
The Korean drama which was a hit a couple of years ago in anime form.

4) Inuyasha: Kanketsu hen (Inuyasha Final Act)
Anime starts in Japan TODAY
(The animation is still by Sunrise so you don't have to worry so much about the characters looking different)
I'm actually quite excited to know how they would animate the last episode. It covers the last 21 volumes manga. At least Inuyasha would have a proper ending. That's something for you to do after EOY. So if anyone googles: Does the Inuyasha anime have a continuation? Y.E.S.
Go spread the message to all Inuyasha fans who are not up to date.

5) Kiddy Girl-and
Anime starts in Japan on the 16th
I've been waiting for this. A continuation (maybe) of Kiddy Grade set two centuries from Kiddy Grade time (that's 500 from ours)

6) Shakugan no Shana S
OVA airs in Japan on the 23rd
SnS OVA (should be). Why doesn't Zero no Tsukaima have a continuation yet?

2009-10-04T18:23:00.004+08:00

Two games where you can become rich/poor in a very short period of time. There are obviously more than two but here are two games which I used to play that fit into the category.

1) Cabal (That game is boring and the animation's kinda I dunno, suckish?)
Earning money is easy. Spending money is easier. If you are someone whose level is high you would know what I mean. People spend money on upgrades and such. Good thing I'm still a Cabal millionare.

2) Atlantica (My computer does not have the latest graphic card and I dropped my notebook on the floor)
Earning is easy. Doing quests are quite fast. And there will always be a supply of quests. And the animation rocks. Money is spent on buying books to bring up your character's and mercenary's skills. I have not played that game for over a year now.

One game where earning money can be hard: Lunia. The currency is in gold, sliver and copper so 100 copper is 1 silver (I think) and so on so you get what I mean.

If you already know me, you can skip the rest. Unless you want to read it for fun, of course.
Now for part 2 of my I-sent-my-email-to-Teenage-and-let's-see-what-happens:
Here's part 1:http://eiensayonara.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-dont-know-how-to-let-whole-world-read.html

Read part 1 before reading this.
Done? Good.
So I logged on to my other account using the super old messenger and I found out that 20 people actually added me. About those who actually emailed me I'm not sure whether they were in there though. So let's take it that those 4 who mailed me where part of the 20. 16 people did not even have the decency to email me and ask whether I would like to add them. They presumed I would just because my email was out there for anyone to add. Hello, there are people who want to do tests on other people you know. And in part 1 I wrote that those who emailed me were guys. At least some people in this world are polite.

The before EOY post: Why I love Jigoku Shoujo & Honey & Clover
Since blogging and writing journals/diary entries are ways to help improve with the flow of language and allow ideas to come to you faster, and since tomorrow is English, it's time to post.

Jigoku Shoujo
Most of the scenarios in the show are possible. They might happen to you, your friend, or anyone in this world. Some are unrealistic or the chances of it happening are low but Jigoku Shoujo really brings out the ugly side of this world which we are not aware of. And I love Ai. I want to cosplay as her for AFA but I think I would look weird in straight bangs.

Honey & Clover
It's the most normal anime I've seen. No fighting, violence, magic, impossible stuff etc. It's about life. They are university students but you can somehow connect in one way or another. It is hilarious and just so enjoyable. It might not be one of the most popular animes but it's definately a good anime. And if you haven't watched it, I pity you. And the characters are easy to cosplay too so if you want to get free admission to AFA you could cosplay as them*

* The free admission part for cosplayers has not been confirmed yet. You still have about 1 month+ to get your look done.

Now about AFA 09. May'n is coming again! Yay! I didn't get to catch her during last year's AFA so yay! Alot of stuff is still not up yet so check out their website to see what's up, or follow them on Facebook or something. And don't make me join Facebook. Read the sidebar will you?

Qn: Does Jigoku Tsushin/地狱通信 actually work?

It's a googled question. Well if you want to know whether it exists, you have to find it first. And since it's supposedly Japan based, you'd have to access it at 12 midnight Japan time (if you are in Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong, it's one hour ahead of current time). And another thing is that you'd have to bear hatred to even access it even if you can find the website (any Jigoku Shoujo anime watch/fan/lover/whatever would know that).
So to the person who googled this, I wish you good luck on finding it.

Why is my blog name 地狱通信:
1) I love the Jigoku Shoujo anime & I love the fact that the show shows how ugly this world is
2) It's different
3) I hope the killers of Junko Furuta meet Ai when they die

Who is Junko Furuta:
Google her. There are many articles on her out there & if you have Facebook, go join that group. I won't write up on her as those articles are more detailed. I wanted to make a single post on her 2 weeks ago but I decided not to (Why? EOY is in 11 days). When you find out what she went through, I don't know how you'd feel but I wish I could kill her killers. I hope they die of an overdose (of drugs, duh!) or cancer (kinda boring) or burnt (that's for burning her) or crushed (that's for placing her in concrete) or shot (multiple of course) or pushed down a building (you'll never know) etc. etc.
As long as they take a trip to Hell on Ai's boat and stay there for eternity, I'd be extreamly glad. This is the only time I wish 地狱通信 was real but even if it was, I don't know how they look like so I can't send them anywhere.
If that man who killed people and cooked curry with their flesh and sold it was still around (he was sentenced to death, I don't think the law'd let him live), I'd get him to do that to her four killers.

And one thing from the last episode of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae : the cycle of hatred will still continue no matter how much you try to stop it or what you do.
Ai really had a tough life when she was alive (read the manga or go watch the anime to find out why I said so if you do not know)

Blogger problem is back.

I didn't want to blog today as I've ALOT ALOT of homework that I've not finished but I still think that this has to be written down somewhere.

I went to watch Jump today and I think that show is worth your money. It's really funny & they know how to interact with the audience. The cast that came to Singapore are not the ones you see on the flyer (if you watched Come Dance With Me on Channel U earlier this year, you'd have known that there are many people who can play a specific character. Those who came to Singapore are just one of the many but I think they look better than those on the flyer). It's a martial arts performance so expect martial arts. If you are interested in break dancing, watch Breakout instead. If you missed this year's performance, they'll be back next year in March. And you get 10% off if you book now.

There was an autograph session after that (I didn't get their autographs though) so you can take a good look at them. It ends on Tuesday (I think) so if you missed it you can either go to Korea & watch it or wait for them to come back (if they intend to, that is).
There was a url on the little screen cleaner so go check it out:

The blogger problem seems half fixed...

If the picture above seems to be cutting into my posts, I really don't know what's the problem. I've already resized it. I'm too lazy to edit it now so bear with it.

The blogger problem is back again

Here's a video of a kitten with eyebrows. Do cats really have eyebrows? Watch to find out. And the kitten is so cute

2009-08-23T19:36:00.001+08:00

Here are some things I found out today:

1) Ren from Shaman King married Iron Maiden Jeanne (I hope I spelt her name correctly) and they have a son called Men. If you don't believe me, go read KanZenBan chapter 300. I didn't believe it at first. They didn't show how Jeanne look like after 7 years though. At least I saw Anna smiling in that chapter (it's not obvious but she looked like she did)

2) Face Shop foundation is expensive. I accompanied Lynnette to buy foundation and it cost $50+. No, you do not have an eye problem, its over $50. They have cheaper ones but they are almost $30. I feel it's like daylight robber (I don't know about you but that's how I feel)

3) Marjolica Majorca's eyeliner pencil is super cute. It's small and it has a nice design. And it's $14.50. Consider that before you buy

2009-08-20T19:56:00.000+08:00

How times have changed - "in" things of the past:

I remember I was in Kindergarden when Pokemon cards started appearing. It was popular back then. Don't ask me whether it's popular now. You never see such things appearing in secondary school, maybe only the Sec 1s.

Then there were Digimon cards. They came out later than the Pokemon ones but what I have to say is pretty similar.

The there way BeyBlade. It's pretty much forgotten now. It was the most popular game among boys in 2003 I think.

Don't ask me about the Yu-Gi-Oh card game as I hardly see people playing it.

Then there was the Super Yoyo in 2004 I think. It has become popular again now. I bet okto is showing it again.

The the good old Rubiks Cube which I meddled with when I was in Kindergarden was popular last year. Now people hardly play it.

As for the digital gadgets, there was the Gameboy, Gameboy Colour etc. But those where like 2006 & before. It's now the Nintendo PSP era with a whole load of touch screen stuff. I had my first computer in 2001 in case you were wondering.

Why do I know so much about what games boys play? 1) I've more male cousins on my maternal side. 2)There are more boys in my class in primary school. 3)They are more interesting.

I managed to make a pillow (an A4 sized one) out of purple coloured foam and 100 pieces of cotton balls. The only thing I've yet to test is whether it'll burst if I sleep on it for a long period of time. I made it mainly for sleeping in class or for camps. I also have to do the waterproof test (I'm 100% sure it's not waterproof). The best thing about it is that it isn't fat like the pillow on you bed. It's thin, very much like your folded up PE shirt (but slightly thinner). Bet of all, it's easy to make!
The foam costs $2.90 for 10 from Popular (you can go by weight as well).
The price of the cotton balls will depend on where you buy it and what brand. But the cheapo $1+ for 100 will do. It's mainly to give it softness.
I think you'd have figured out how I put it together

2009-08-18T23:08:00.000+08:00

Blogger is STILL having a problem so I'll upload pictures onto Photobucket and post them here instead. This is a random post on random stuff. Wait. All of my posts are random so nevermind that part.

Don't ask me what's with the dent at the front of the cake. I took this bfore I ate it.

A random pic of the sky. I was facing the sun when I took it so the sides look darker (I think it was over exposed).

My new art design on the little "I am Drug Free" keychain backing. The old design peeled off so I've to come up with a new design now (the old one's too boring).

A nail art design I'd love to do if I could draw properly. It's from Japan's Nail Up magazine issue 30 on the page with kimono inspired nails (I love kimonos too).

And I did not know what to put as my blog picture so I'm putting a pic of a calander. The baby and the cat - double cuteness

2009-08-06T21:26:00.002+08:00

Blogger seems to have a problem again....

It's been half a year since the last time I posted what happened in school. So here's one for the record

PE was games unless you failed your NAPFA and Jasmine suggested we play basketball. So for the whole lesson we (Shau Hua, Suhaimi & Cheng Yang took one hoop. Jasmine, Aqil, Jaron, Yuit Lin & I took the other) were playing basket ball. Michelle, Phoebe, Amelia & Jia Qing were playing volleyball. And at the parade square, it was Aspire VS Integrity in captain's ball. And we lost (cos there are fellas like us who prefer basketball to interclass matches)

Noting interesting about Lit, Mr Chong didn't come (in other words, we brought our thick A Maths textbook for nothing)...

English. We were going through compre practice 7 when this word came out and suddenly the talk was about transvestites (I hope I spelt it correctly). The Ms Maz told us her story about her going to a show featuring tranvestites and such

After recess it was Chem. Mrs Chew said that Mrs Lim was coming into our class to observe our lesson but in the end she didn't as she was hit by the ball during the interclass captain's ball game. Well, Mrs Chew did live experiments for us. The two more interesting ones were the hydrogen peroxide (warning: be very careful with that chemical. It's an oxidising agent. I got burnt by it during Bio) and manganese(IV) oxide.
So Mrs Chew and Jaron were trying to get the splint to burn properly as it extinguished on first try. Matches aren't such a good idea when it comes to lighting things up now. Lighter are much better. The second try got a beautiful burning flame. Fire's such a beautiful thing (I don't know about you but I love fire and no, I haven't gotten burnt by it. YET). The second experiment was something which involved the production of hydrogen gas. And one who has learnt chem would know that it extinguishes a lighted splint with a 'pop' sound. I think most of us might have thought that the 'pop' would be soft and all but the 'pop' we got was pretty loud. And is was clearly a 'pop'. That's right, 'pop'.

Nothing much to say about bio...

Well, many people went out of the class before Ms Neo came. I looked to my left and the four people to my left were lying on the table. So I went 'Ok...' and went to put my Bio textbook in the cupboard. As I was on my way back to the seat, I saw Jaron running to Shau Hua's seat and putting his head on the table too. When I reached my seat, I was the odd one out so I did the same and Faris started laughing (I think it was Faris, Phyllis too). Try to picture 6 people sitting in one row and all putting their heads on the table. I should have taken a photo when I had the chance.

Physics. Super science day is a really tiring day and we were all tired by the last period ie. physics. So Ms Neo gave us 5 mins to freshen up and she said something like 'Sleeping will make you sleepier' or something like that so Han Shen said the 'Studying will make you sleepier'. Once the time was up and we were all back, Ms Neo said something like 'What are you supposed to have one your table? Your notes, correct?' and Hann Shen replied 'Anything but your textbook is correct'. Isn't Hann Shen so cute (I think you know which definition I'm using)

After physics lesson was a break then physics practical. So we were given one hour to do our experiment, write our report and draw the graph. I made plenty of errors but still finished on time. And tha concluded the tiring school day. It was already reaching 5 pm. Some of us went back to class to throw pur physics files through the window

There was a photoshoot that day and Sheryl was trying to make me go insted of her but I had my reasons and even though I told her me reason, she still wants me to go. I'd love to go for a photoshoot but not this time, at least not in our SYF costume. If I wore something else, maybe I'd go.

And since I talked about basketball, here's a pic (I added the words):

It's what Kumi was wearing in her Hashire! music video. Isn't that basketball so cool? (You don't see pink & yellow basketballs everyday, you know) If you have time, go watch the music video. They can go against the Wildcats from HSM (I don't like HSM)

Another album you should check out: ayaka's History 2006-2009
It has songs by Ayaka which she sang during those three years, including I Believe (that hit that Shi Xin Hui also sang) & Okaeri (the ending song of Zettai Kareshi live action). I got it from http://loliduo.wordpress.com

2009-08-02T22:45:00.002+08:00

Watch this video. What she says is so true. I know it's long but you won't regret watching it. She talks about alot of things that are so ture or things that you never though about.

What she says if like what you will find yourself reading in comics by CLAMP

The first song (more of background music) is Okaeri by Ayaka. It's the last one too.

I can't tell what the second song is. Third one is one she commonly uses in her videos.

2009-07-31T22:41:00.002+08:00

A lesser known Japanese all-girls singing group - SPEED
I got to know this group from the J-Pop Phoenix album which I bought in 2005. In there was their 1997 hit "GO! GO! HEAVEN". The youngest member was 12

Here's a song that was released last year (I think). There's another version of this video which was filmed last year (should be). Here's the link to the one uploaded by Avex Network. It's pretty new and they look so different
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZcJ17mey6A

You can see a change in the dressing style of back then vs now

Another video by Michelle Phan. She so talented. And she asian (Vietnamese)

A Miley Cyrus Spoof. No insult to her. Guys should seriously watch this

The blogger problem has been fixed!
The current song is Womanizer by Venetian Princess. You can find her on YouTube. There's a line in the song where she dreams of a guy "hooking up (my) ethernet cable, and wispering in (my) ear about the Periodic Table". I wonder what the guy will tell her about the Periodic Table. Astatine is in group VII, period 6?

2009-07-22T00:17:00.001+08:00

She's really funny in this video. And this trick is really good. Go try it

2009-07-20T21:55:00.005+08:00

These videos are directed mainly to girls so sorry if you're a guy. Michelle Phan is a makeup guru on YouTube and I find her really smart. You might have heard of there tricks before but I haven't.

2009-07-16T23:10:00.005+08:00

Watch this video. It's something that is affecting this world. We in Singapore don't see much of it due to the fact that we're a multi-racial multi-religious country.

I fell in love with the album recently. The tracks are not like most albums you buy where there is a short pause between each track. All the tracks seem to be connected to each other even though they are separated. All the tracks are remixed expect the first and last. Transition from song to song is really smooth as the next song continues the rythm of the one before (you might have to listen to the album for yourself to understand what I mean). So if you do drive, get this album. Knowing most of the songs in the album is a plus point

I downloaded it from 4shared.com in case you were wondering

2009-07-09T22:20:00.002+08:00

I fell down while doing Shuttle run. And I got 3.5 injuries (only wasn't really serious so I called it half an injury as compared to the rest). Here's what happened...

Shuttle run is the NAPFA test segment which has the most casualties. I already told myself last week that if I'd fall down, I'll find a way to get up and continue running. So I was on my way back with the first block when I fell and due to the way I fell, I somehow decided to roll and get up. And when I stood up, there was the start line. Since I already fell and rolled my way back, I decided not to waste my trip back and go for the second block. I don't know what everyone was thinking (maybe they think I was crazy or something) as the only thing I heard on my way to get the second block is Faris saying "Perseverance". I didn't even know I was bleeding that badly until Ms Gan acutally told me I was bleeding.

So Le Xin & Shaneeza brought me to the sick bay but there was no gauze so they took the Saline to clean my wounds. I can't really remember what happened after that but Min Jie went to take cotton buds and came back with a buch of them. So Le Xin & Min Jie cleaned my wound while the others were doing their shuttle run. So when everyone was done, they started crowding around like they've never seen an injured person. I was like a live Bio experiment with blood and plasma coming out from my right elbow wound.And Min Jie was shaking when he cleaned my wound.

Everyone else went to do inclined pull-ups while I was getting my wound cleaned. But in the end, they helped cover up my wounds with gauze. My right hand wound was said to be the most serious but the doctor said they are all superficial injuries. He also said that my wound was well cleaned (credit goes to Le Xin & Min Jie).

I took a close look at my right hand wound. The skin looks like it had been shreadded off (really)

And I still don't know what's with Daniel and his "We're wearing the same shirt blah blah blah...£ theory

I survived almost 10 hours in school & almost 3 hours of CCA with the wounds so I'm alright. REALLY. I AM

2009-07-08T23:23:00.002+08:00

Now with Twitter & Facebook being so popular, here are some websites (so far I can only think of 2) which have lost some of it's popularity.

1) Friendster
It came out in 2003? or 2004? I'm not sure really. It was really in it's prime in my life during 2007. But we soon got bored of it and hardly care about it anymore like me

2) Imeem
I really like Imeem but they took down the photo & video upload function so there goes my 12k hits Death Note picture (I still have it, don't worry). So I've to watch anime from some other source now. Now we can only upload videos which sucks alot

Then there's a website which I was not really into until this year... YouTube. Not that I've never heard of YouTube. I've know it since 2005. I wasn't into YouTube it always has this copyright infringement thing which Imeem didn't have which is why I favoured Imeem. But now that the vids on Imeem are gone, we go to YouTube. In the past, there was this 10 min max per video but I don't think there's a limit now (not too sure, I don't upload anything)

I do have a MySpace, Tagged & Netlog account but I don't even bother to do anything about them. I'm going to delete my account for the latter two so don't try to find me there. If you want to find me on the net (but I think you don't): Friendster, MySpace, Imeem and no where else. And read the side bar about my e-mail ->

2009-07-08T22:09:00.002+08:00

A website for Hello Kitty/Sanrio fans which I found : http://www.hellokittyonline.com

I like Charmmy Kitty (that cute white cat with the pink ribbon & a key necklace) in case you're wondering. You have to create an account at Sanrio Town to use most of the functions (I can't think of a better word right now). It's like an online game + social networking site really. You get an e-mail account, video creator, blog, quizzes, downloads (of wallpapers & such), forum etc. I decided to try out the blog. They have really nice Sanrio blog themes to choose from but I don't like the url. It seriously sucks.

If you want to get an idea of the blog, I've made one & posted one post. If you see another crappy post, that was already there when I made the blog. Anyway, here it is: http://blog.hellokitty.com.sg/enma_ai

I still prefer Blogger of course, since (almost) everyone in the world would create a blog on Blogger (like duh!)

Cats seem to be ignoring me now... I wonder why...

2009-07-07T23:12:00.003+08:00

Let's say bye to C.C. for now. It's time for a new quote. It took me a while to decide on what pic to use as I was looking through all my picture files but I couldn't find one that could really bring out the meaning of the quote. From what you see in the picture, it's not even related. But you have to watch Last Exile to know why I picked this picture. And watch the whole thing. You won't really know what's going on is you skip some parts.

And in case you are wondering who's who, the boy is Claus; girl Lavie; and the man in front is either one of their fathers (can't remember whose). And the words that you see at the beginning of the anime are Greek. And I don't think there's any relationship going on between Claus & Lavie. They're just good childhood friends/vanship pilot & navigator.

And if you're wondering about the navi part, the show is set in some unknown land called Norkia. It's in the past (can't pinpoint when) and flight navigation was restricted. Go ask someone who knows about planes & aviation. They'll know better

And to the person who came to my blog whendering what "InuYasha" means: "inu/犬" is Japanese for dog. "Yasha/夜叉" is directly translated from Chinese as "night cross" but from what I remember it's Japanese for forest spirit. Double check that part

God Knows... is a song which was sung by Suzumiya Haruhi (seiyu Aya Hirano) on epiosde 12 of the orginal Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Season 2 is out (it's not really season 2 though) and I don't have time to watch it at all. But if you have read the light novels, you'd already know what's going on.

God Knows... is a rock song. And the song above is played by an orchestra

The thing about blood compatibility made me think of something - vampires.
(Don't talk Vampire Knight with me. I liked that manga wayyyyy before the anime came out. But Rozen Maiden won me over and then the VK anime came out. And the animation sucks. Seriously)

Well, vampire most likely spend half their lives sucking blood out of people (the other half is most likely spent trying to stay away from the Sun). How much does a vampire's blood differ from that of humans? So far there hasn't really been any thing that really states that vampires have blood different from that of human. If it's different, I wonder what antigens they have. But if their blood is similar to that of humans, I don't think ever single vampire is a AB+.

If you are a vampire & you are reading this & your blood is similar to us humans, you should really find out the blood type of the person you intend to consume blood from. And watch out for HIV/AIDS too. (I really wish there was a cure for AIDS. Many innocent people get it indirectly)

And if you are human, you can wonder about it during you free time.

There still a debate on where sample X on Bio textbook pg 145 is A blood or B blood...

And if a O- vampire appears, Jaron you better run far far away (and hire a vampire slayer while at it)

Lunia: Eir the healer VS Yuki the ice wizard VS Ryan the bounty hunter

Basic attack (the A key):

Eir - Her basic attack is swinging her wand. Not much damgae really. The S key skill (the pentagon one, not sure what it's called) is pretty similar to her Holy Spirit skill. They seem to have changed to combos or something. I haven't tried it yet but there's a 5A combo

Yuki - I can't really tell what she does for basic attack but she was the first character to have the 5A combo I think. I could get S for my style point just using basic attack

Ryan - His basic attack is shooting his gun which can practically be used to kill every monster other than the boss. He has the 4A combo according to the combo list thingy. I usually get F for style point. I can easily achieve a combo of 120 above but his basic attack isn'tgood for breaking chests and stones

Skills:

Eir - Since her basic attack isn't of much use, her skills are her main attack. Most of her skills are directed in a specific direction so if the monster moves it will be a waste of mana, but since she's a healer, her mana is usually higher. But for those wide range skills usually do quite good damage

Yuki - My Yuki is still below level 20 but she has resistance to the different elements (fire, water, land & wind) but they require a specific plant to use the skills. Her skills are also directed in a specific direction. That ice hand skills is pretty cool

Ryan - My Ryan hasn't reached my Eir's level and only has 7 skills. The first two skills he learn are pretty good for bosses and do quite good damage. He also has a grenade which is only useful if the monster doesn't move. The other skills depend on where you are standing

The stages for episode 1 seem to have undergone editing as they are different from when I used Eir. Actually the whole Lunia square has undergone editing. Title quests depend on your level and it's easier to get gold stars now. Most stages from 1-10 onwards are the same. You can't unlock all 3 guardian at the same time now in 1-10, unlike the older version of Lunia where you can fight all 3 guardians at the same time. And for all characters below level 30 (I think), they are assigned to one family each time they login. They also get gifts once they reach a certain level. I still prefer the older version of Lunia, where there were more quests. Now you can get the boss item box each time you complete a level instead of the boss level. And transform potions seem pretty useless to me. I'm going to get Arien next

I'm playing the North America/ Global version. I've a Lunia Japan account but I've not login for quite a while. ANd I'm still on a Cabal break. I think all of us are

I think we all remember Phua Chu Kang and the SARvivor rap during the SARS period. Now that there's H1N1, there a song for that too:

And the SARvivor rap in case you have forgotten:
