Omg, Bleach episode 141. T.T How can anyone not be IchiHime after that? D: Poor Orihime. She's so sweet. <3 I'm seriously a sucker for these things. x_x If Aizen kills her, I'll weep. Deathberry must save her. Or I'll hate him! )< (Yes, I'll really hate him)

Gah, what to be now? IchiHime or IchiRuki x_x It'll be so much easier if Tite Kubo just let Ichigo be alone or something. *Doesn't want to decide*

And as 2008 inches closer, Goodbye Halcyon Days.

Gone.

Dec. 31st, 2007

sunlight
And suddenly it's New Year's Eve. Frankly, I wouldn't have remembered, let alone notice, if it wasn't for everyone's reflective posts and announcing that 2007 is coming to an end.

I dunno, maybe I'm just numb or something but 2008 feels just well, 2008. Nothing more or less to it. Sure, it's Os and I guess somewhere I do feel like I've never been this scared. Yet somehow, it feels so far away. I guess reality hasn't settled it yet. Just like everything else in life.

Honestly, I don't really know how I got through 2007. I remember last year about this time how scared I was and wondering if I'd make it through. In short, I was a wreck. Again, somehow I'm sitting here typing this out. Must've done something right, yes? *Shrugs*

Looking back at 2007, I guess it was a good year. Frankly, it was one of the calmer years in Secondary school... Wow, so now dyng isn't a big deal. I mean, there's much to be grateful for, isn't there? Maybe I'm just too optimistic but I'll never forget getting to know God better. Making new friends, being there for them nd lending a hand. Catching up with old ones, getting to know them better and growing closer to them. Discovering Japan, experiencing new cultures and learning new things. Growing as a person, for better or for worse.

There's alot of room for screw ups, careless emotions and reckless behaviour in 2008 but there's also alot of room for growth, for improvement, for learning, right? It's always easy to look at the bad but for now I'll focus on the good. What does help does looking at the bad do anyway? I'll look forward to cosplaying with my friends, going high about the sillest things from the most pointless conversations, trips to Macs or KFC to rant or just to enjoy each other's company, protecting all of you to the best of my abilities, CNY with my family, my cousin's wedding, more anime (haha), and of course, growing in God's strength <3

So go into 2008 head on. Because you'll never be alone. Not when you have God and your friends. Like me! :D

Jasmine Phay! You're not online and got too much to say in a message so read this. Have you asked Cherie? I just realised she'll make a good Orihime. ^^ Then have you gotten Ichigo? If not, I think I found someone too :D (Haha, yes you (<) Oh, Jie can be Uryuu. XD But I highly doubt she'll say yes. T.T Lemme be Rukia leh ): Or maybe Joy can be Rukia. Since if Cherie becomes Orihime, Joy is of relative height. (Joy: 0_o Me: Heh heh. (<) If everything goes according to plan, then we should have Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Uryuu, Yourichi, Urahara and the random Nanao. Lol. Since Cyeo can't commit. Grimmjow might not too? >< *Shrugs* (I'm so tempted to write Grimmy. Lol) Talk to me when school starts or something. ^^

Anyway, since it's 2 more days till school starts, I have a ton of things to do. Old habits die hard. /: Ah wells. I've done it before and I'll do it again. (< Heh heh. Yokoso! ^^

Kat:
Eh...? I sent you something. Not a card though. It was supposed to be a surprise. T.T *Fail* Ah wells. Check your mailbox soon! Please! ):

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE! (:
Although again, prolly not going to read this. /: Ah wells. I'm be 16 in 1.5 months. Heh heh xD

--

Nyeh, there goes my confidence in our postal service. x_x

Anyway, I went out last minute with Diane and Fan yesterday, 'cause today's Diane's birthday. Fan called up to ask yesterday morning and somehow my mum said yes. The best part was that I didn't want to go. Heh. Lazy la. Plus got so much work to do. >< Ended up getting lectured too 'cause my brother was in trouble. *Rolls eyes*

We went to watch National Treasure: Book of Secrets at PS. I watched the first one so the second one was so-so. I think Bleach made me a little immune to action and violence. That said, I jumped at a few scenes. Lol. Heh >< Wasn't really concentrating anyway. Got disturbed during the movie D<

After that the 3 of us walked to Kino. Diane is super amusing. Haha. At Kino, I found that THEY HAVE IT. Bleach's All Colour But The Black Artbook. *Glee!* :D It's $30.70 and I had less than $10 x_x *Faints* Diane and Fan didn't have money either. *Cries* Now I have to save like $90+. Oh dear, for cosplay also. Nyeh ): I'd better pick a cheaper character. >< Plus, pressies and for the other bits and pieces I end up giving into. /: >< T.T

I also found that the Japanese manga is 1/3 the cost of English manga. Translation is expensive! 0_o One more reason to learn Japanese! :D

Oh, I also received a postcard from LP (through Fan) and Fan's Christmas card. Diane gave me a candy cane. ^^ Thanks guys. I'm sorry I'm too lazy to take pictures. Fan put a picture of me on my card anyway. )< I didn't know you took it okay! Was busy with Geog. ^^ And LP's postcard was difficult to take outta the envelope.

well always know that you shined brighter than anyone does

ZOMG, *glee!* Ina is declared my favourite junior. <3 Lol. I think because she has family members in Canada so she's there now. She got me Like Vines (album) by The Hush Sound. x_x *Nose bleed* Lol. HMV has never heard of them and most of you prolly haven't either. I realised keeps getting me CDs for Christmas. Last Christmas, I got Panic! At the Disco. Even though you'll prolly never read this, thank you so much, Ina <3 You're the best :D *Has a reason to want school to start* Lol.

Although, that can't beat homework submissions and the A Math retest. *Dies* I'm glad to say that I've progressed with my Art though. ^^ Before going out, I finally started on my canvas. Albeit little. (Always seems to be the case) I made my face enlongated and Joy a little too chubby. *Fail* Ah wells.

The trip to the library proved to be a productive one. The amount of Warhol books they had to loan was quite dissappointing but I found most of the stuff I needed. I think I borrowed all the books that they had on Warhol. Heh. >< Out of curiousity, I went up to the Lee Kong Chian library to see what they had. It's a haven there. I almost fainted. Lol. Warhol books were a plenty. All in mint condition. x_x They have one about 3 Physics textbooks thick but it was very comprehensive and had a ton of pictures. Gah. I just stood there helplessly. /: They also has iSH magazines. <3 Nyeh.

I decided to have my exhibition thing at red dot Traffic buliding. I can't believe I didn't consider it till today. Too pictures of it's exterior to many staring office workers. It was lunch time. /: Then my mum insisted that I have lunch with her so I did. Hokkien mee was good but it was huge. ><

My mum left for Clementi to get some material for her sewing while I went to do some other stuff. Stopped by Popular on the way back. Vampire Knight 5! <3 Heh. :D I'm late but better than never! 'Sides, stupid Jasmine was spoling it for me yesterday. T.T Also, she discovered the joy of tormenting me. Am I seriously that fun to annoy? ): Okay, nevermind, don't answer that. Anyway, I finished reading it already. Heh heh. xD >< Not really as nice as last time (BLEACH FTW! :D) but Kaname and Zero are too cute to pass up. Heh. :D

Ah wells. My essay won't write itself.

We should not shed tears
That is a surrender of the body to the heart
It is only proof
That we are beings that do not know
What to do with our hearts

Fan:
Haha, thanks friend for the concern. *Hugs* ^^
Eh, I thought LP reads this space! LP, where are youuuu?! Lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIE! (:
Even though you prolly won't read this either. You got my message already. Slightly off 12. >< I got you a pressie already. I know you'll like a part of it. *Innocent smile* HAHA. :D

--

Yes! Mr Ong just said that I don't have to take pictures off the Net for my Higher Art Essay. I can't believe I'm saying this but thank goodness! The Net has nothing on Andy Warhol! Seriously people, ANDY WARHOL. Set up an online gallery and life would be so much easier. I'll be heading towards the Central Lending Library today. They seem to have quite a few books on him. Also, their Reference Library has a ton of books on him. Sadly though, they are only for reference. *Dies* x_x What's wrong with you people?! Okay, I shall not rant.

Anyway, so tomorrow morning'll dedicated to that. After that, it'll be gallery scouting for a while. Prolly Opera Art Gallery. Then Kinokuniya! ^^ I wanna see if they have the Bleach All Colour but the Black Artbook <3 LP and Fan want to come over to my house if the weather is good. They're still obsessed about capturing the sunset from my house. -.-

On a lighter note, there're not more need to do the powerpoint for the Japan trip! ^^ Miss Tan sent us an email saying otherwise. Well, kinda. But I'm not complaining! :D Less work to do. *Phew*

So tomorrow'll be busy. *Resists Bleach* ): Ah wells. I must speed up with work. For now, off to dreamland. Zzz...

but maybe it's better this way

Lol. Fine. *Doesn't glomp Fan* HA! :D
Happy? The new year won't be "happy". /: Lol. I resolved not to say it next year. Lol.
Haha. *Hugs* ^^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SNOEY! (:
Even though you prolly don't read this. Lol.

Meh, today's been rather unproductive. Other than doing a tiny bit of my journal, zlich. *Fails* This time next week, I'd be Sec 4 and I'm still slacking my ass off. *Sigh* Ah wells.

I guess it's 'cause I don't really feel so well. I almost fainted and puked on the way home today. >< Heh. Spent half an afternoon snoozing but it didn't seem to help. Even as I type this, I feel a slight headache residing somewhere. /: I'm suddenly hungry too. x_x *Strongly dislikes this time of the month* Ah wells.

Spent most of today out with my mum. The only major occurance was that I cut my hair. I, being the boring person I am, got the hairdresser to cut the same style. Although my fringe remains the same. Heh. The idea was so that it's be long enough to tie but not long enough to plait. The hairdresser actually asked me to look through some Japanese hairstyle magazine. The first thing I thought of was Shu En. Lol. Whenever she wants a new hairstyle, she'd bring one of them. Bring Half Geog, she'd sit behind with the rest and look through it, trying to find a suitable hairstyle. Nerd and Phoebe would help out, much to their delight. Lol.

Anyway, so now my hair is shorter. Although, I think the hairdresser put something on my hair to make it slightly straighter, or maybe it's just the way she cut it. Ah wells. My hair will grow back into its natural wavy self soon. And I realised I did get something like Rukia's hairstyle afterall. Lol. Not on purpose okay! >< Lol.

I guess I'll be working more tomorrow, if everything goes according to plan that is. I've gotta go take pictures of my exhibtion space soon. Prolly Friday or something. I'm in the midst of deciding a venue because my original one (The Substation) doesn't go with my exhibition theme. Prolly Opera Gallery though. Love that place <3 Then maybe after that, I can go Kinokuniya or something. I got $20 and I'm not afraid to use it! *Glee!* Lol. Or maybe Wooonderland <3 Ah wells. See first.

Other than that, nothing much. I don't think any of you wanna hear about Bleach again. I'm tired and too lazy to type anything else.

Out.

P.S. LP and Fan, there'll be a pasar malam in Toa Payoh soon.

Dec. 25th, 2007

Fan:
Lol. Just kidding la. If you did, as you said, you'd lose money vigourously! :D
I bring clips for you when school reopens! Or maybe some gel. Lol.
Don't remind me about Sec 4 ):
Oh, and thanks for the thank you note. (: *Glomps* ^^

--

I can't believe that my brother is out with his friends and I'm the one stuck glued to the computer at home. /: Even my parents went out. They came back already but still! I seriously need a life. Lol. I think I'm turning into an otaku! >< Lol. 8D

In more positive news, I finally finished my reserach journal! YATTA! *Cheer* Now to get started on my other journal. >< *Sigh* I realised how unbalanced my to do list was a few days ago. The schol work part has the least strike outs. *Weeps* Ah wells. Down to it then.

My mum wants to take me shopping for Chinese New Year clothes already. 0_o She took leave for tomorrow and wants to take advantage of the Boxing Day sale. -.- Ah wells. I'm supposed to get my hair cut anyway. Sorry Fan and Teng ><

--

MERRY CHRISTMAS! (:
Thanks to those who wished me, gave me pressies and sent me cards. I really appreciate everything <3 But while, we're all out making the store owners happy, don't forget the real reason we have Christmas! (: Have a fun and blessed Christmas everyone :D

--

Christmas pressie time! Well, actually cards. But I love snail mail so it's got the same rank :D


Ange's card. It came a few days ago but I forgot to post it. Anyway, thank you so much for the card. It's really colourful <3 I'm honoured to be "one of your fave seniors". Lol. *Glomps* ^^


Lottey's card. It came yesterday night. Just in time much. Fan, you finally see what I'm talking about? ^^ Anyway, it's pretty. <3 You are genius! *Fails* ): And the girl there is so cute. I assume it's you since she has short hair and is wearing a green hoodie :D Thanks for making my card first ^^ I'll try not to bully you so much next year xD

P.S. Sorry for the bad lighting. ><

While we're talking about cards, I apologise for not sending out any this year. I somehow lost my ability to do so. I tried 5 times and just couldn't get it right. Joy's remark to that was "you're just a perfectionist". Oh fine, so sue me. /: Ah wells. Maybe next year (: Sorry people >< (Not that anyone was looking forward to one. Right? /: If you were, please say. I'll do my best for you. ><)

--

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY, ADDIE! (:
Haha, sorry I'm late >< But you saw my comment, right? ^^ *Glomps* Haven't talked to you in quite sometime but from your posts, it looks like you're enjoying yourself. You seem like a happy kid most of the time anyway. Lol. Anyway, one year older, one year wiser, yes? Haha. Have fun in Sec 3. (:

Just been doing work. Trying to chiong as much as possible before school starts. *Wonder what I did with my holidays. Okay, nevermind. Even Bleach has gone down. Well, not really but it stablized to an amount enough to survive. Lol. :D

I was supposed to get my hair cut yesterday but my mum said wait till Wednesday when we went to the hairdresser 'cause she would save $6 that way. -.- Even my grandma thought it was a waste of time. Lol. I'm prolly gonna cut just enough to tie a ponytail. Prolly kinda like Rukia's hairstyle. XD

Went to the library too. Borrowed Bleach 9. I like the info they give at the end of the manga. I didn't know Byakuya's scarf is worth 10 houses. 0_o *Must get all Bleach manga*

Hmm, it's been quite some time since I listened to Paramore. I guess it's all the Japanese getting to me. I think you can see by the music in these posts. But I'll never get sick of English songs <3 I want their albums! T.T

Yay! I got money. Lol. $10 from my uncle and another $10 from my grandma. *Cheer*

Okay, either my life's growing more boring or I am 'cause I don't really have much to post about anymore... Ah wells.

Yay! Posting has slowed down too. Okay, well, mostly 'cause I spend my computer time watching Bleach and doing art related stuff. Yes, I grow more and more boring by the minute. 

I managed to go to Mrs Yee's party on Wednesday. My mum actually didn't allow but she did in the end. I went alone but met Lesley, Petrina and Teng at Dhoby Ghaut when I was changing MRT lines. We kinda got lost. Fine, I have bad directional skills. Damare! )< 

Anyway, the party was supposed to start at 1 but it only really started at about 2. Mrs Yee catered food for 40+ people when only 20+ people, including the officers came. Lol. But the food was nice :D We (the GB girls) played a few rounds of Polar Bear. Lol. Quite fun and rather amusing. Miss Toh came up with Win, Win or Draw, which was kinda like Pictionary and some talking game. Amanda Ang is pro! :D Lol. Overall, the party was quite fun, I guess. Sorry, I'm in no mood to recount and type so much. Thankfully.

In other news, nothing much happening. As usual. I progressed with my Higher Art essay. *Cheer* Albeit little. x_x I have yet to go down to my choosen exhibit location to take pictures. >< Artsy areas tend to be not so easy to get to. Well, to me anyway. T.T

As for Bleach, (didn't think you could escape, did ya?) I've reached the Bount Assault on Soul Society arc! ^^ I'm at episode 97. Where I left off was when the Bount are attacking the North Gate. Yay! Fillers are almost over. Thank goodness.


Oh, I'm also in a $68 debt. Heh. >< I ordered Faesthetic #7 through Pang's junior. I would have gotten the tee too but that would leave me in more debt. ): Looks like it's back to the lunchbox again. /: Unless anyone wants to pay for some as my birthday pressie! ^^ After this, it's more Bleach stuff. :D I have the strong urge to get all the manga. Although, I do wanna get started properly on Trinity Blood too... Ah wells

It was really cool <3 I'm dragging you along next year ^^
Well, it's a little known fact that Singapore does have cosplay events. Well, okay, myabe not so, some of it was reported in the papers quite some time back.
Er, most cosplayers make their costumes, waepons and accessories. Although some do get their costumes custom made. It's a hobby really.
Lol. I have a habit was saying way too much >< I guess it's cause if I dont say it here, I might forget about it /:

Purajo:
Omg, hi! ^^ Haha, you guys did a way awesome job. <3 Glad you guys won for Best Cosplay Team. Who else won?
Haha, thanks for the info. Your weapons were cool x_x
Be my guest :D Take as many as you like. If you want the show pictures, they are here. Although they're quite blur cause you guys kept moving. /: 
Oh, and how did you manage to find so many people to cosplay? Are they all your friends?
Btw, how did you find me? ><

Kat:
Yay! *Glomps* Good for you. ^^ I meant what happened at camp (:

--

I don't really have much to say 'cause nothing much has been going on. I'm too lazy for a blow by blow account of Sunday and yesterday. Thankfully. I got more important things to do anyway.

I have started on my Higher Art essay. Finally. I went down to the library yesterday morning to pick up a few books on Andy Warhol. I had quite a hard time finding them. How can such a famous artist have so little books on him? Seriously, people is is Warhol we're talking about! )< Anyway, I've started reading some of his biography. I didn't know he was gay 0_o But most artists are either gay or die young. x_x Ah wells.

Did my annual cleaning of my room yesterday. I dumped out alot of stuff, which is quite an accomplishment ^^ I have a habit of keeping alot of things >< I realised how much stuff I actually had when my brother pointed out how much space it occupies. /: I keep everything. If you've ever given me anything, be it letter or pressie or note, I still have it. Seriously. Plus, event programmes and whatever not. Meh >< I've actually still a small pile of stuff waiting for me to sort, but indecisive me can't decide what to do with it ><

Gah, I realised that since I started watching Bleach, I've not gone a day without watching at least one episode. >< Although it has gone down alot, mostly due to the fillers, this isn't good. ): School starts in in 2+ weeks x_x I shall work something out! *Determined* 

and do any of the GB girls reading this have details for Mrs Yee's party? ><

Christmas pressie time! ^^


This is Joy's pressie to me ^^ It's another tee <3 Plus, I finally know how to make a killer robot. Lol. Thanks alot friend (:


This is Caro's pressie to me ^^ Kawaii ne! <3 I wonder how she knew I wanted a pencilbox though... *Remembers that I might have mentioned it somewhere* Ah wells. It's really amusing. Plus, Jack <3 I realised we keep giving each other Jack related pressies. Great minds think alike! But fools seldom differ. Ah wells. Thanks alot friend.

I'm not sure if you can read the directions but it says:
1.Place on firm surface
2. Follow directions in circle
3. Repeat Step 2 as necessary, or until unconscious
4. If unconscious, cease stress reduction activity.
