Yo Peps! Mu-tan here!

And Yuki-san…

Welcome to our Anime and Manga corner!

Oh great…

Huh? What is it?

My frequency of posting is approximately proportional to the people who tag on my tagboard…

Actually, it would be [(Posting) + X] ∝ (People tagging), where X ∈+ve rational number.

Great, now you’re intergrating Math in here…

But since we are talking about the number of people, X should be a positive integer~

Okay, you are NOW freaking me out with your maths…

But then again, I should put in the limitation that X is greater than 8~

OI!

Or was it 13~?

You are officially crazy… Go sit in a corner and recover…

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (Anime; 24 episodes)

Genres: Action, Comedy, Sci-fic, Seinen, Supernatural

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, or A Certain Scientific Railgun, is a side story is based on Kamachi's original story (To Aru Majutsu no Index) set in Academy City. This story however takes the point of view Misaka Mikoto, one of the Level 5 psychics in Academy City, while the original main character, Kamijou Touma, takes a side character role.

As stated in the title, Misaka is known as the ‘Railgun’ for her ability to accelerate a conductive projectile by charging it with a large current and passing it through her own electromagentic field. Despite her rather fierce, unfriendly and ‘tsundere’ character in the original story, it is shown that she is actually quite caring.

Not that it changes when it comes to her annoying roommate/partner/one-sided love teleportation master Shirai Kuroko.

New characters are also introduced into the story, like Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko.

But don’t be mistaken by this seeming shoujo-type anime, this is NOWHERE near shoujo… The action is somewhat on par with (if not better than) many of the famous MALE action series.

Now who the one who said an all-female cast action anime cannot be good?

Since the art style of this anime is as excellent as the original, you can expect action scenes to be both fluid and beautiful. In fact, the details of their fight scenes are so good that your jaw will drop.

And let’s not forget the entire well though-out sci-fic plot that makes people like me scream in excitement… (Yes, I love Sci-fic)

*On the side-lines with no relation to the story, the opening themes for this anime [Artist: fripSide] are also awesome!!!*

Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D

In the nutshell: An excellent anime that combined science-fiction and action together perfectly. Fluidity in both storyline and action scenes are a dream come true for many. Not your usual girls-who-willingly-act-as-damsels-in-distress action anime, because it is the girls that take charge here. One warning though: a perverted Kuroko with an “Onee-sama” obsession might not be something suitable for young kids...

2010-04-24T22:52:00.002+08:00

Well, I am (finally) back.

If not, even a certain pestering slacker will start nagging.

So here.

~.~

…

What?

Even if I haven’t been blogging, I have not much to say~

Yeah, when I think about most of my day-events, it is so tempting to write about to the point that it becomes boring…

Yeap…

~.~

…

So… um… Let’s start. How’s JC so far?

If by means of practically failing/partially failing (either way I still fail) EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TEST, getting ‘U’s and ‘S’s so many times that you can spelling ‘US’ repeatedly to the point of possible mental breakdown of a certain kuudere alien and causing the world to be reformed, then it is fine.

Either the problem is really serious, or Yuki-san has watched too many animes~

Agree on second point.

…

So… Anything else to add on?

Well, I’m currently in G2 (Guitar 2: Counter-Melody) in my guitar CCA, and we have to perform 2 songs in the upcoming concert Glissando.

Ooh~

And Spectra (Design CCA) is also organizing our annual comic competition.

WHEE~!

…

…

That’s all?

Wait, wait! I still have my piece to say~!

Oh yeah, you haven't shared your point.

So… What do you have to say that is making you so eager?

Erm, Yuki-san, she’s ALWAYS eager.

That’s beside the point...

HEY~!

Sorry. Please continue.
Sorry. Please continue…

Okay. What I am going to say is…

Yea…

*surprisingly stares at Mu-tan, eager for an answer*

...that being my class GP rep is tiring~

Huh?

Ah-huh… I… don’t get it…

That’s what you wanted to say?

Yeah~ Why?

The logic behind this must have been warped in a weird way due to her reading too much manga. I suggest you go back into your little corner any review again before coming back here again.

Agreed.

Oh, come on~! My class doesn’t listen~!

O-Kay… Soo?

The point is that other subject rep get LISTENED to, while I usually get ignored~!

I don’t think it’s that bad-

Even the CHINESE rep is LISTENED to~!

…

Okay, officially bad…

Other subject rep say “Hand in your assignment.”, and the class listens. When I say the EXACT same phrase, no one responds. It is SO BAD to the point that even SOME people have yet to hand in their one-month-dued assignments~

Oh goodie.

AH~! I’m going back to read manga~

Hey, Mu-tan. We have homework-

DON’T YOU DARE BOTHER ME~!

…

Okay…

...PMS…

WHAT DID YOU SAY~?!

*chases Yuki-san around in an imaginary void*

Great…

*more chasing around in the same imaginary void*

I better stop them before-

Oi~! Don’t think you can escape from me by going into Ee Zher’s (bro) imaginary void!

-before they get into trouble.

*Gets up and starts walking towards the two imaginary being, with an imaginary mallet in hand*
Bye.

To Aru Majutsu no Index, or A Certain Magical Index, is situated in a fictional town called Academy City. As its name states it, 80% of its 230,000 citizens are students, learning to create or enhance their psychic abilities. Psychics are differentiated into different levels from 0 to 5, with 0 being seemingly powerless.

This story takes the point of view from Kamijou Touma, a seemingly brainless and equally unlucky level 0. Just when he thought his life as bad enough, a young nun dropped out of the sky (literally) and landed into his life.

The young nun, called Index, was a living library (or index) upholding 103 grimores in her mind, which (obviously) makes her a constant target to enemies. Thus, this dragged him (unwillingly) into the previously unknown world of magic and an even crazier life than before.

Well, I must say, this anime was simply an exhilarating one. The anime has such a well thought-out plot, compared to some stories where there are many obvious loopholes in the story. This new fantasy world is drawn in so much detail that I feel as though it is real.

And since the art style of this anime is just simply excellent, you can expect action scenes to be both fluid and beautiful.

And of course, let’s not forget the all wonderful Seinen-genre jokes!

Although it is not pointed out in the genres, this anime is somewhat similar to a Harem one… Reason being is that practically most of the characters that Touma interacts with are GIRLS, which more or less admire/ are attracted to/ feel embarrassed around/ love Touma. Sadly, this is a SHOUNEN anime, so those who expect shoujo-love romances will be greatly disappointed.

Despite his great resemblance to many other Harem-genre heroes that were utterly clueless to their counter-part(s) feelings.

*On the side-lines with no relation to the story, the opening themes for this anime [Artist: Kawada Mami] are awesome!!!*

Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D

In the nutshell: An excellent anime that relieves the boredom that annoys you to no end. Fluidity in both storyline and action scenes are a dream come true for many. Comedy scenes are a little repetitive, despite being one of the main attractions for this anime. An ideal story for Shounen-action plot lovers for all, but those seeking for romance should say well-clear.

2010-03-17T22:57:00.002+08:00

Ahahaha…

What’s so funny~?

The fact that despite having my Internet for the past two weeks, I had only used the Internet once…

And the reason being: my parents were overseas…

Not to mention the homework…

Speaking about homework, I better quickly get the self-study chapter notes from the LMS soon.

I can’t believe that we have to study one chapter by ourselves without any lectures in it~

I didn’t exactly think that independent learning would refer to this…

As up to this date, my file is still packing, almost to the point of overflowing, with homework.

Harsh.

And not to mention CCA trainings…

And I’m already getting it good (so far) as compared to other CCAs and JC2s...

So THIS is the rumored JC life that my seniors, who I have not seen since they graduated but heard of, complained about.

I only thought that Singaporeans complain as a past-time…

Depending on the context, it may or may not be valid.

Why are we suddenly talking about Singapore past-time~?

I dunno.

‘I don’t know.’ Please refrain from using slang. Proper English, people!!!

I was already cut down by my GP teacher for my poor use of English grammar.

She stated that people that read often then to have a higher command for the language~

And I scored 14/30…

Not to mentioned that I also DIDN’T finish the paper on time.

And last.

While the rest of my classmates scored an average of 19 and above, with the highest being 24/30.

Oh boy...

Great... I have to do supplementary exercises to build up my ‘command of English’.

And considering that I am the GP rep, I better get it over and done with…

Unless you have heard of a rep for a particular subject not completing the homework assigned for the same particular subject mentioned.

Oh yeah… I forgot to mentioned, but with the immense amount of homework/tutorials/lecture note exercises/guitar practices/time required to study for tests that have practically occupied 85.914357154945224545% (corrected to 20 significant figures) of my leisure time, I have no choice but to reduce the number of anime/manga reviews I can post to once per month.

Huh…

Though, you can still ask me for any recommendation by posting your preference (best if by Genre) on my tagboard.

The same rules still apply due to our limits (pretty obvious): NO Adult, NO Hentai, NO Lolicon, NO Shotacon, NO Yaoi, or NO Yuri.

I will try to respond to you as soon as possible… (Depends on when I see the request, that is.)

Oh yes, before I go off (to do whatever I had mentioned 5 paragraphs ago), I hope you guys with attend the ACJC Fun-O-Rama on the 27 March (First Saturday of Term 2).

I would not be like many others who would throw themselves (literally) onto people to ask them to buy coupons, but I still hope that you can come down on that day to look around.

Who knows? There might be some food/games that interest you…

I admit. My class games stall is not as attractive as many others, considering the fact that my class only started to discuss about the games proposal a month after we were assigned to do so (I didn’t even know there was such a thing called a games proposal until our games rep pulled out a CLEAN sheet from his file).

And it was a rush work since, well, our proposal was rejected countless of times.

Not to mention the lack of budget.

Oh well… I will just end of quoting from my current principal...

“Have fun!”

2010-02-19T21:14:00.002+08:00

My Internet has been down for three weeks...

And for some strange unknown reason, I cannot connect to the school's wireless...

So I couldn't blog for this whole period of time...

I am now currently using dial-up...

Which for your information is very very very very very slow...

Despite this very very very very very long post…

Kind of explains why I haven't blogged in weeks...

Will TRY to get it up again soon...

Or you will see a very DEAD blog.

Reason why I SPECIALLY used the very very very very very-

Okay, we get it! IT'S SLOW!

-slow dial-up is because today is my birthday.

Wah... See how much sarcasm is oozing out of this word...

Well, even though it IS my birthday, I don't feel like it is...

Why's that~?

Because I hate Birthday Songs...

Huh~?

Okay, so I do sing it for other people, but for some reason I really cannot stand Birthday Songs...

Which was the reason why I kept running away from my class and OG for the ENTIRE day today…

NO offense though.

I just don’t want people to start singing me birthday songs in a public place.

And considering ACJC…

The entire canteen might just join in.

But in the end, my class STILL sang a birthday song during Contact Time.

You should have seen how red my face was…

"Hap-

DON'T YOU DARE START!

...

But still, I was really shocked when I received so many Birthday wishes and presents.

Presents~? There were three...

Well, it's better than the last few times when NOBODY EVEN REMEMBERED!!!

Oh...

So... let's see...

---
Thank you Eng Hoong for the wonderfully 10 SMSes long Birthday message... plus the second one after leaving my house.

Wah~ Must seperated somemore...

So wonderfully long to the point that it took one hour for me to receive it...

Thank you Zi Qun, Pei Sin, Min Jia, Ying Ying, Yan Qing, Wei Lin and Claudia for the Birthday Messages.

Zi Qun's message came 3 minutes earlier than Eng Hoong's... Whee...

And THANK YOU WEI LIN FOR BUYING A COUPON!!!!!

Thank you Nusrat for the Birthday Message even though you were not feeling well.

Seriously, you SHOULD BE RESTING!!!

Thank you Jia Yin for the Birthday Message (which I am assuming that you borrowed a phone JUST to send me the message).

Thank you Eng Hoong, Juit Lin, Wei Lin, Ying Ying and Yan Qing for the two mangas.

Okay… I SERIOUSLY feel bad… It was TWO MANGAS!!! IT IS LIKE EXPENSIVE, OKAY?!

Thank you Pei Sin, Min Jia and Rui Ting for the Vampire Knight Keychain.

I’m not a very big fan of Vampire Knight… But I like it anyways…

I bet Eng Hoong would scream…<- Super big fan of Vampire Knight.

Thank you Melissa for the PINK notebook.

I am not very fond of pink… and a lined notebook is definitely not used for sketches…

...

But never mind… It is the thought that counts… (Just hope the paper on the notebook is ‘kind’ enough for sketching).
---

Speaking about sketches, I noticed nobody ever visited my sketches blog…

The only people that visited were people posting their advertisements as comments…

Which is obvious highly annoying…

In the process of waiting for my Internet to get fixed, you may want to read my (only) anime fanfiction that I wrote during the holidays…
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5694455/1/

ONLY if you are bored…

And for privacy sake, please do not reveal the URL of this blog on the site…

I don’t want my tagboard to be flooded with comments… That will be left to the purpose of the review page on the site itself…

Well… that’s about all…

I will TRY my best to update as soon as possible after the Internet in my house is back up again~

P.S. I am currently in SPECTRA (Graphic Design Club) and Guitar Ensemble: BMT (Basic Music Training)…

Surprised?

2010-01-31T13:08:00.003+08:00

Meaning of Term:
‘Tsundere’ describes a character (usually female) who runs 'hot and cold', constantly changing between being a strict, confrontational and uncaring person (tsuntsun: "aloof" or "cranky" in Japanese) and an affectionate and soft-hearted person (deredere: "lovestruck" in Japanese).

Personality:
There are two main types of ‘Tsundere’, depending on their personality:

Type “Tsun”: These ‘Tsundere’s are “tsuntsun” set as their default “exterior”, making them seem mean. This is the usually personality given to Tomboys or ‘bad’ boys in Anime/Manga. It takes something very special to trigger their hidden “deredere” side. The intensity of their crankiness can range from “Always angry at practically almost anything that I don’t agree to” to “This is stupid, I ain’t doing it”. When they are angered or embarrassed, they usually become vulgar (by shouting insults to the other person) or sometimes violent (by hitting the person with their hands, legs or with a “trademark” weapon of choice). However, when they help out someone that they are not close to, they would probably say something like "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you" and usually have their entire face covered with ferocious blushing, making them appear vulnerable in contrast to their usual strong-willed exterior.

Type “Dere”: These ‘Tsundere’s have “deredere” as their default “exterior”. This is the usually personality for soft spoken people that seem nice but have a mysterious hidden background in Anime/Manga. They are kind and soft-hearted, but just happen to have a secret violent side too. Usually, their temper is almost always triggered by someone else, usually by their love interest or by an idiot which serves as a comedic relief. As they have absolutely no clue on how to handle feelings of love and attraction, they are therefore sweet to everyone except the person they are interested in. Unwanted suitors might also trigger their violent side. Very often, the male love interest (referring to female “deredere”s) will be very frustrated as everybody else keeps telling him how sweet the ‘Tsundere’ is and wonders how it could possibly be the same girl.

Types of Pairings (need not be romantic ones):
In Mangas and Animes, ‘Tsundere’s are usually paired up with the patient type of people, since a normal person would be pissed off by the former’s cold attitude.
A more common pairing would be with the seemingly-stupid and stubborn type, as sparks (more from anger than romance) are more likely to fly, contributing greatly to the ‘Comedy’ sector.
On the other hand, there is also the masochist type, but they are extremely rare and used only for comedy relief.

What makes them attractive:
A Tsundere's attractiveness can come from either side: On one hand, she is an independent, strong-willed person, determined to do everything well. On the other, she has major “turn-on” points such as awkwardness with relationships (particularly, romance) or have tomboyish tendencies (refer to female ‘Tsundere’s), which she perceives as "weakness". Furthermore, they rarely just sit back, do nothing and act the ‘damsel in distress’ as that will make them lose their appeal. For Type “Tsun”, it's assumed that the person acts fierce to hide their good intentions or as a wall for preventing their weakness to be shown when dealing with romantic relationships. For Type “Dere”, her hidden “tsuntsun” side shows that they are not just some nice guy.

Subcategories:
‘Kuudere’ – Rather than having a violent side, ‘Kuudere’s have a stoic, cold personality with a hidden “deredere” side. The range of intensity for their “Kuu” side can be from an emotionless robotic-like isolator to just a quiet, soft spoken person.
‘Yandere’ (mostly females) – Under normal circumstances, a ‘Yandere’ would only show his/her “deredere” side. However, mess with their love life (e.g. break up, discovery of an affair, insulting their love interest heavily) and they will go on a rampage, where some can go as far as murder (?). More or less a loose nut-case when a love relationship goes wrong.

WAH~! SO TIRED!

ACJC Orientation was very tiring, but it is still fun.

Despite the weird range of activities that usually make an introvert squirm madly...

And let's not forget the interesting intro-lectures that the teacher's there gave us~

And the warm welcome...

...

Okay... I'm going crazy with praise...

YUP~

You do know we still have one more week of Orientation before actual lesson starts...

And we have to buy my JC uniform and Graphical Calculator by then...

Oh my... the expenses~

What do you expect? This is ACJC we are talking about...

I wonder how deep is my two years going to burn in my father's pocket.

Speaking of which, I just got an invitation to Fuhua's 11th Annual Prize Giving Ceremony...

... which JUST so happen to be on the 12 Feb MORNING...

I was actually intending to visit my secondary school teachers on that same day in the AFTERNOON AFTER LECTURES~

Oh yes, the lectures...

Couldn't they at least make the ceremony IN THE AFTERNOON?

Not sure if ACJC would even allow us a day-off...

Oh great... What to do?

Let's ask around first... See who else is INTENDING to go...

I bet most of the people showing up would be the Poly Students... since they haven't start school yet...

Most probably, I will only show up AFTER the ceremony~

Haha. Very funny...

2010-01-27T08:42:00.008+08:00

Surprisingly, this ‘girly’ boy exhibits a rather charming personality that what most shoujo-mangas refer to as ‘The prince on a white horse’ (or in this case “princess”), to the point that some of them fall in love with him.

Well, of course later they discover that he is a guy (Or else it becomes shoujo-ai), but that is beside the point…

One thing about this anime that puzzles me is how unbelievably convincing the main protagonist looks like a girl! Even if a guy does dress up like a girl, unlike his body is totally filled with female hormones, it is practically impossible for a guy to have a figure of a girl’s.

IT’S A TRAP!!! I mean look! He looks so much like a girl to the point that the anime producers forgot! Even though they make sure that every episode mentions that he is a GUY!

Well, it does seem as one of those shoujo-based anime series. But this is actually the revised form (it is extremely revised so that it even can be public-viewed) of the otherwise Hentai game, which unfortunately is scary beyond belief. I was already scared half to death just READING the WORD description from a third-party website.

This is quite obvious from the title, which suggests Harem and ALMOST-yuri themes…
(So for everyone’s safety, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO ITS H-GAME OFFICIAL WEBSITE!)

Rating: 7/10 <<<<<<< DDD

In the nutshell: A short gender-bending anime that relieves that initial boredom. Would have been much more enjoyable if the story wasn’t so make-believe, and making practically EVERYONE in the school a potential lesbian. An ideal love story for Shoujo manga lovers, but will earn much critism from serious Gender-Bending lovers.

2010-01-21T20:46:00.004+08:00

*yawn*
This waiting time is really starting to bore me...

You said it~

It's the same routine EVERY single time!

At this rate, I will get bored to death before I even start JC...

So, what are the updates, staff?

Well, let's see...

-Begin status report-

Read manga: Bored of finding new series to read; Waiting for new chapters.

Watch anime: Bored of finding new series to watch; Waiting for new episodes.

Visit NTU Library (With the help of my dad, Cheers~): Some a few interesting videos here and there, but now running out of interesting things to do. Currently watching 'Animal Farm' that was mentioned by History teacher.

Playing Games: Either I finished them, or the game systems were lagging to the point that I stopped immediately before I practically break the computer.

Outside Activity: MPS volunteer service - Did the IC registration desk instead of the usual editor job; Got screamed at by a crazy woman who walks around the place as though she owns the place but cannot even solve a simple house matter; One comment: SCARY~

Others: Reading fanfictions that either drive me nuts due to its weird storyline, or the fact that the characters are OUT-OF-CHARACTER... with one exception.

-End of status report-

Recently read this extremely good-

Minus vulgarities in multi-languages (I must admit, that was really awesome in a very bad way), grammatical and spelling errors...

It's M16~

-Soul Eater Fanfic: Winter Waltz... It's hilarious, sadistic and has awesome descriptions all in one!
It's like I'm in heaven~

Though Heaven does not have weird sadists there... I think?

Good point...

Okay... then it's like you're reading its light novels...

Only that Soul Eater DOESN'T have light novels...

I never knew fanfics could be so good~

I really should try making one of my own, considering that I am about to die of EXTREME BOREDOM!

Though I think my story is going to end up dark...

...

What? I'm a sadist!

*crosses fingers*

Should have started this at the beginning of my holiday, then I wouldn't be so bored...

Whee~

Stop running around and STAY STILL!

I can’t~!

Huh? Retarded much?

No, I’m too excited to the point that I cannot stop…

…

Wh-
*smack

Ooo…

Ouch… Why you hit me~?

THIS is what happens to people who don’t listen…

You freaky saddist~!

Why thank you…

…

So can we start NOW?

Okay fine…

So today’s manga introduction will be…

Shoujo manga ‘Mekakushi no Kuni’~

Never imagine the day I will introduce a Shoujo manga, since I usually don’t read them…
______________________________________________

Mekakushi no Kuni (Manga; 9 volumes)

Genres: Drama, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Supernatural

Mekakushi no Kuni, or literally Land of the Blindfolded, is the story of three clairvoyant high school students: Otsuka Kanade, Naitou Arou, and Masahiro Naiki; and their interactions with other normal students.

Otsuka Kanade is a high school girl who sometimes sees the future of the person or object she touches. Although she is uncomfortable being touched, she refuses to live her life in fear and uses her powers to help prevent uneventful accidents from happening on those she sees that would be in trouble. One day, she meets Naitou Arou, a new transfer student who can see the past but does not feel he can do anything to help with his knowledge. They also meets Masahiro Namiki, another student who can also see the future but has more control over his power than Kanade and uses it for selfish reasons.

Kanade, Arou, and Namiki live in a world where society might not accept them if their secret is ever known other than by their friends. On several occasions, people learn about their secret, with varying reponses. From isolating him from the rest of the people, to accepting their talent, these moments will never fail to make your heart feel tender.

One thing I like about this manga is how the author makes use of one of the problems that is faced in some societies: Discrimination. Whether it is by race or by some other differences, most minority groups tend to be outcasts from society.

Another issue would be the problem faced by disabled children in some households, usually when another sibling with no disabilities is present. Although Namiki does not possess a disability, his power of clairvoyance makes him abnormal, causing his parents to be afraid of him, and always only caring for his normal younger brother. Of course, they don’t hate him; they are just unable to understand him, like how some parents feel towards their children with disabilities.

Well, even after saying so much, there is still one thing that I must absolutely point out… Everything that Kanade sees is always (with one or two exceptions) some bad accident. No matter what, it’s always bad somehow. Sorry to be crude, but it’s like as though Kanade is a ‘Danger Detector’…

Rating: 7/10 <<<<<<< DDD

In the nutshell: A nice considerably short story that tingles at those heart-warming scene, but be warned that this manga story line is practically predictable (it’s labelled drama). And please don’t expect much romance scenes; it’s progression is SO slow that you will feel like pulling out your hair in frustration

Oh yeah, one more thing...

Since I've got a D7 for HCL, I can be exempted from Chinese in JC~!

For the first time in my life, I appraise HCL...

2010-01-12T12:52:00.003+08:00

Wah~ 'O' level results were out yesterday~

Nervous like hell ah...!

Ying Ying and Yan Qing said that I was really shaking and that my hands were cold...

Juit Lin then joked that they should just knock me unconscious and then drag me upstairs.

Oh and before I forget, NUSRAT CUT HER HAIR~!

...
...

...

That went well...

And I also gave Nusrat and Jia Yin a Daruma (good luck charm)...

Which surprisingly they claim worked...
(Nusrat got 9, Jia Yin got 10)

I myself managed to score a L1R5 of 9 points~!

And with the two bonus points from CCA, I get 7 points.

English Language: A2
Never did I ever imagine that I could score so high in EL...
Combined Humanities: A2
I thought I flunk the thing~!
Mathematics: A1
Expected considering the amount of practice Mr Chia gives us...
Additional Mathematics: A1
Once again, expected~
Physics: A2
And all because I forgot that there was a Physics P1 after HCL paper...
Chemistry: A1
If I don't get A1, Mr Yeo will kill me and dump me into the canal~
Biology: A2
Never have I been so happy to see this!
Chinese: B3 (last year)
My greatest achievement~ (Yes, I suck at Chinese)
Higher Chinese: D7
No surprise, but with little resentment...

I was so happy that I practically cried...

Haha~ Yuki-san cried~

*smack

Ouch~!

Stop it you two!

But I still failed Higher Chinese...

WHO CARES?!
WHO CARES~?

Oh, right...

My dad even asked if I wanted to re-take Higher Ch-

NO!
NO~

...

So then... Now what~?

We have until Friday, 4pm to key into the system 12 choices...

So far, I am still considering ACJC, since NJC is now out of my capabilities, though I'm a bit reluctant...

But then again, ACJC cut-off points is 6, so no guarantee there~

Then after that... No idea...

Well, let's just wait after discussing with the others...

Heading to Eng Hoong's house to discuss. Along with Juit Lin, Ying Ying and Yan Qing as well...

Bye~

Seitokai no Ichizon is a slapstick comedy series situated at Hekiyou Academy’s Student Council. In Hekiyou Academy, the members of the Student Council are selected by what amounts to a popularity contest. Therefore, the Council mostly consists of attractive girls. However, there is another rule in place, where it states that the highest scorer of the school is allowed to enter the Student Council by using the blue-chip seat. Unfortunately, nobody who ever expect the valedictorian, Ken Sugisaki, to be a crazy ‘otaku’ of bishoujo games (H-games to be exact) who is in a constant delusion to make the four girls of the Student Council into his harem.

The first recognizable part of Seitokai no Ichizon is its extensive use of anime references. Ranging from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and K-ON! to Death Note and Jigoku Shoujo, listing ALL the references would be getting beyond impossible. It even competes with Lucky Star, another anime also famous for its use of anime references (Which makes Seitokai no Ichizon even more ridiculous as they made an anime reference towards Lucky Star). Non-otakus tend to get lost half-way through the story due to these references (even I tend to get lost, so no matter), but it is a good laugh to serious anime lovers.

The second thing about this anime is that it gathers most of the different types of personalities that usually show up in a Harem anime, but with an extra twist to it:

1. Sakurano Kurimu: President of the Student Council – Pettanko Main Protagonist, but also an adult-child who is an airhead compared to most OTHER Student Council Presidents (with a maturity level of a five-year old to match).

2. Akaba Chizuru: Secretary of the Student Council – Model-like Kuudere, who is unfortunately a sadist, a lolicon and a Yuri Fangirl, although she is able to hold up a more cutsy side, which drives around the note of ‘MOE’.

(sorry... just had to add this picture)
3. Shiina Minatsu: Vice-President of the Student Council – Twin ponytailed Tsundere, who loves shounen-action stories (practically most of her references comes from this area) and has ABSOLUTELY no ‘deredere’.

4. Shiina Mafuyu: Treasurer of the Student Council – Shy soft-spoken bishoujo, although she is a geek with a serious game addiction and a BIG Yaoi Fangirl, much to Ken’s displeasure (pairs Ken with a male in her BL delusions).

And let’s not forget the wonderful fan service (mostly by Chizuru) scenes that comes mostly from Sugisaki Ken’s bishoujo game DELUSIONS. Even when it IS a swimsuit (which surprisingly is IN the Student Council Room), they covered his eyes with a blindfold.

Oh, before I forget, I absolutely must point out something… The male uniform is a Rummage Sale Reject!

Nevertheless, it brings laughter to my stressed face no matter how many times I watch it. Even my other cousins, who aren’t the least interested in anime, burst into laughter after 10 seconds into the show.

Rating: 8/10 <<<<<<<< DD

In the nutshell: An excellent slapstick comedy for everyone, though it would be funnier if you have knowledge on other animes due to the many anime reference here. And although subtle, anyone who HATES Ecchi scenes (and yes, it can get really REALLY BAD, even if it only about 20 seconds) should steer clear.

2010-01-05T20:03:00.003+08:00

Okay, okay... You must be wondering how come there aren't any other blogpost EXCEPT for the 'Anime and Manga Corner' Chapters...

Actually, nobody is wondering. It's just your guilt conscience telling you to blog some else apart from the AaMc Chapters...

Yup~ We were either too busy doing something else, or we were too tired and bored to blog...

...

So, once again, We will have short sumaries~ Of course, some dates will be left out~

Great...

Went to Yuan Ching Sec to help Rui Ting in her bookshop part-time job... And only because no one else was free...

Spent most of the time clearing up the temporary stall situated near the entrance for better access for parents and/or new Sec 1s...

Even though, it was only three hours (half-day), I was "seasoned" with my own sweat by the end of the job~

Went home to shower before getting dragged out by my mum for New Year shopping...

Which I reluctantly complied...

Monday 28/12/09

Volunteer work (night)~!

Started have the job of being an editor in the GRC near Lot 1...

Before this, I had to memorise the different types of letter, where to address them to and other essential details~

Not to mention being the occasional typewriter...

Well, now I just need to edit letters, print them out and then get the approval of the MP.

Good thing is, this can help with my CIP points for my JC~

Sadly, this type of work is tedious and tends to end as late as 12 midnight...

*Yawn*
______________________________________________

Tuesday 29/12/09

Went out with Eng Hoong and Ying Ying for New Year shopping (even though I already bought mine).

Travelled to JP, then bugis, then back to Bugis...

End Result: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

On my way to my grandma's house (passing the Jurong Canal between Jurong West and Jurong East), noticed a large dumping of waste...

It's still there until now, you know~?

I wonder if it is still going to be there when we get our 'O' levels back...
______________________________________________

Thursday 31/12/09

First thing in the morning:

"MUN TENG~! WAKE UP~! YOUR CLASSMATES ARE COMING OVER~ CLEAN UP THE HOUSE..."

...was my mum's screaming.

Eng Hoong, Ying Ying and Yan Qing came to my house to play Monopoly in the afternoon.

My mum seemed hyped about the fact that my classmates are visiting... Emphasis on the 'MY'...

She even prepared cakes (bought) and chocolate fondue for them... They looked uncomfortable...

Any other comments, get from those three. I've nothing else to say...
______________________________________________

Friday 01/01/10

Okay... THIS time, Ying Ying, Yan Qing and I (brought along my bro) went to Eng Hoong's house.

It seems that Eng Hoong's father has taken a liking for my bro, considering the fact that he constantly provides my bro with freshly cooked beef and the offer of giving him free tuition...

... which he quickly denied~

Compared to how my parents treated them, I kind of figured out why they were so uncomfortable on the 31st...

Actually, I prefer the home-y feeling compared to being a guest myself...

Most of the time was spent playing 'Cheat'...

...which sadly I never fulfilled the criteria (cheating)...

Surprisingly, I emptied my hands first in the first round...

Lucky~

My bro, on the other hand, is an EXPERT!

I can't say I'm proud...

Hey Yuki-san?

What is it, Mu-tan?

I was wondering why there are two chapters on the same week~

Oh. Friday was a special chapter for the New Year, so it doesn’t really count.

Then what about Christmas? Why didn’t we have one then~?

Oh… I forgot about that…

You forgot…

…

Ooookay then~ Let’s just forget about that~ So what are we doing this time?

Murder story…

And we’re back to THAT again?!

That was 4 chapters ago… and besides, we have to introduce a manga this time, right?

But-

And we still haven’t received any request yet…

…

Unless you have something else…

Okay okay… Fine~ So what manga is it?

Introducing ‘Bloody Monday’…!

But seriously. Why aren't there any request~?

Bloody Monday (Manga; 11 volumes)

Genres: Mature (>14), Murder, Mystery, Sci-fic, Shounen

Bloody Monday is a mystery story situated in modern Japan. A Russian spy is found murdered, with the only clue to the reasons for his death being a memory chip. Things become further complicated when Takagi Fujimura's father, a high ranking official within Third-I PSST (based on the Public Security Intelligence Agency), is falsely accused of murdering his superior when he obtains further information about a viral outbreak in Russia where thousands are killed, known as the Christmas Massacre, and the code name "Bloody Monday". In order to clear his father’s name, the brilliant 16 year old Third-I PSST recruit genius hacker Fujimaru, known as the "Falcon" publicly, decoded the chip left behind by the spy, discovering a video file documenting the Christmas Massacre and learning about “Bloody Monday”.

The terrorist Orihara Maya, who was responsible for the incident in Russia, is now in Tokyo in order to recover the memory stick to stop Third-I from knowing the truth of a terrorist plot in Japan. She goes undercover as a teacher at Fujimaru's High School. From there it becomes difficult for Fujimaru to determine who he can trust as he uses his high-level hacking skills to try and save the country and unravel the mystery of Bloody Monday and the cult behind it.

Please be wary of the ‘Mature’ theme. It is categorized like this for a reason: The murder scenes are very disturbing that can make young kids have nightmares. And considering the detailed art of this manga, I hope I get my point across

And since this is a science-fiction story, you will expect lots (and I mean LOTS) of scientific term that will make your mind explode, despite its seemingly futile attempt to explain Fujimaru’s or the enemies’ course of action. I spent about 1/3 of my time re-reading the entire plot to grasp the situation.

Oh yeah, one more thing to add, since this is a shounen manga, please be prepared for impossibly big-busted ladies in inappropriate clothing, especially the terrorist Orihara Maya, since this is one of the many weird ways shounen manga catch their male audiences…

Nonetheless, it is an excellent thriller that will make mystery-lovers scream for joy, especially the complexity of the plot. Every point of the story is packed with excitement and things are always not as you anticipated.

Rating: 8/10 <<<<<<<< DD

In the nutshell: A highly recommended thriller that intertwines with the science-fiction theme excellently, although the science terms should be explained in more detail for the benefit of the readers. Young children and people who cannot stand gruesome murder scenes should stay clear. The artstyle is also highly commendable, despite its inappropriate use in certain cases…

2010-01-01T09:51:00.012+08:00

Second, the details of this newly-created world, released slowly at the different times of the story are easy to understand, something that is usually lacked in many other fantasy genre animes… The plot is also interesting even WITHOUT the comedy scenes (which will make it into another one of those boring shounen stories), and is mostly unpredictable.

Finally, let’s not forget the main attraction of the anime: Its Action-packed fighting scenes! Even though Laws of Physics cannot be applied in most action scenes (like they ever make sense anyway…), the fluid movement combined with anime’s nice art style makes each attack seemly performed beautifully.

Especially when each person/witch/creature/death god releases their ‘ULTIMATE ATTACK’, I cannot help but be frozen in awe…

And this is considering that I have watched/read many shounen stories…

Unfortunately, the ‘protagonist(s) finally obtaining a Death Scythe’ plan was not fulfilled as the anime ended prematurely, making it my only disappointment…
[*Note: The manga does show one of them obtaining a Death Scythe, since they have different story progression after chpt 37.]

Instead, we have them fight a Kishin (the BIG BOSS of an advanced evil human soul)!

And if you are wondering why the rest are not fighting, there are three reasons:
1) They are not powerful enough.

2) They have been heavily injured.

3) They are insane with the kishin’s insanity wavelengths~

That would already explain the purpose of their fighting…

Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D

In the nutshell: A quirky anime for all ages, especially those who had a bad day and is looking for a good laugh, in spite of its randomness. Action scenes are also amazing, although it’s usually interrupted by their comedy scenes. Its manga alternative has a bigger plot twist, and is recommended for those unsatisfied with the anime’s rushed ending. However, be warned that the manga is classified under ‘ecchi’ (I find the manga unsuitable for young children), so be VERY prepared for frontal nudity if you want to read it.

Whee~

Why are you so happy?

‘It’s the season to be jolly~ Tra lalalala lalalala~’

Oh right… Christmas season…

Yup~

So what anime are we going to introduce this time?

Since it’s Christmas, let’s go back to its roots~

To its roots?

England, desu. ENGLAND~!

Okay, okay. Wakata… (Mu-tan must be high on sugar-rush again...)

Soyuwakete… Introducing ‘Kuroshitsuji’~

H-Hey! Ch-chotomate! Wait for me!
______________________________________________

Kuroshitsuji (Anime; 24 episodes)

Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Mystery, Shounen, Supernatural

Kuroshitsuji, or literally Black Butler, is a fantasy story situated in Victorian era London, England. In a manor house on the outskirts of the city, loyal butler Sebastian Michaelis serves Ciel Phantomhive, the twelve-year-old head of an English noble family and a toy and candy empire. Sebastian carries out any task required by his master, no matter how demanding it might seem. Though it seems to be like a normal noble family household, the Phantomhives have a history to serve directly under the Queen, while secretly solving the problems plaguing England with ease and perfection. And just when you think that this is enough, think again: Sebastian is a demon and has a Faustian contract with his master.

Compared to other animes where the surroundings are usually blurred out or lack details, Kuroshitsuji is one of the few animes that places emphasis on every single one of those minuet details. And considering that this story takes place in the Victorian era, anyone would be awed by the detailed architecture, even though it is “just an anime”.

One of my favorite catch-phrases from this series would probably be Sebastian’s "Because I am one hell of a butler" (わたしはあくまで執事ですから, Aku made shitsuji desu kara), where it plays on the word "demon" (あくま, akuma) and the phrase "to the end" (あくまで, aku made). It can also translate to "I am a demon and a butler".

Although it has a fantasy as one of its genres, it does not place much emphasis in that field, which will probably upset a lot of fantasy-lovers. It, however, makes it up with its intriguing mystery plotline, where the truth is usually something totally unexpected.

And let’s not forget the numerous comedy scenes that are sure to make your stomach hurt from sheer laughter…

And once again, for the love of god, please do not think of this as ‘shotacon’ as the fansites say… It is very disturbing for some otakus (like me)…

Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D

In the nutshell: Backgrounds filled with beautiful historical architecture from the Victorian era: A dream come through and a must-see for all art-loving otakus. Also highly recommended for people who love stories situated back in the past, but a dangerous pick for anyone who cannot stand a second without modern technology. Fantasy lovers may want to watch an alternative.

2009-12-23T22:03:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, I went out with Benson and Wei Qiang to Takashimaya to spend our Kinokuniya Vouchers...

Once again, I need not say that it is my first time going there...

And due to my inexperience with buses, I took the wrong direction bus and ended up taking a tour around Jurong Islands~

Whee...

Sorry once again for being such an inconvenience, Benson and Wei Qiang~

Along the way to Takashimaya, we practically went into many clothes shops... With the two guys as the leader! I was quite PLEASANTLY surprised, considering that they are the first few MALES I've seen do their own shopping...

Not to mention they are pretty good at it too~!

After lunch, spent 3 hours browsing for books to buy...

What can I say? Spoilt for choice...

I ended up getting a mystery story and an art book on fantasy drawing... Forgot what Benson and Wei Qiang bought though~

Since I loaned my aunt's Kinokuniya Card, we managed to get 20% off our books...

We didn't expect that the cashier would return us the balance of the vouchers~ Lucky!

After buying our books, we continue venturing somemore...

However, with a new objective in mind... Getting my New Year's skirt...
Those two seemed pretty Hyped by the thought...

Why ask them, you ask~?

For a closet freak like me to do my own shopping because my mum refuses to buy me anymore clothes due to the fact that I am an extremely fussy person when it comes to my clothes, it can be considered an impossible job considering that I am terrible with clothes trends... Not to mention that in the event I could not find anything suitable to buy before I return home, my mum was going to drag me for another boring round of clothes shopping, where the standards are so hopeless that even for a closet freak like me, can safely say that the clothes are 'Auntie'...

So, I ended up asking them...

But since I AM an EXTREMELY fussy shopper, I did not buy anything...

Sorry if I piss you two off...

Oh great... Another round of clothes shopping with my dear mother...

Oh yeah, Yuki-san~?

Hmm?

You realise that Mun Teng is extremely quiet~?

Now that you mention it, she seems pissed...

...

What is it this time?

Remember that I said that I'm not taking a part-time job due to my uneven schedule...

Yeah~

... and the fact that I'm helping my grandmother at her house as the maid went home...?

So?

My parents are treating me like a maid now...

...
...

Could it be some misunderstanding?

When I asked my mum for a reason, her reply was:
Since you're not taking a part-time job, then you should do MORE housework~!

It's not that bad...

If being ordered around like in my CCA to start "work" at 10 am everyday (with exception if I were to go out) to do housework that are supposed to be done by my parents (except copking; My cooking sucks), having a 40 mins meal-break, and ending at 8.30pm at night, without even a simple "Thank you", scolding me if I put on a long face (yes, they force me to work with a HAPPY face), and forcing me to sleep at 10.30pm (meaning only 2 hours to do my own things) is considered reasonable, then by all means I'll stop arguing...

...
...

Okay, it's THAT bad...

Well, at least it is less demanding at my grandparent's house where my aunts helped me, which I GREATLY appreciate...

Surprisingly, they also gave me Christmas presents as a 'thanks' for taking care of the housework in my grandmother's house... I was just expecting a 'thank you' which they had already gave me...

Wow~!

Which still makes me pissed at the fact that my parents take me for granted, with orders like "Mun Teng, wash the dishes.", "Mun Teng, iron the clothes."-

OKAY! That's enough...

_ _ _

By the way, I'm helping out Rui Ting in HER part-time job on Saturday...

At least then I can momentarily "relax" before-

OKAY~! Let's end this here before it gets out of hand...

2009-12-20T20:12:00.004+08:00

He leaves in search for his old photo so that his original face can be reconstructed, but along the way bumps into Rina by accident. Surprisingly, when Masashi was discovered by Rina, she mistakes him as her long lost twin sister, Yuna, and brings him home. In order not to become suspicious, he lies about having amnesia. He does get a picture of himself eventually but after seeing how much pain Rina went through while her sister was gone, Masashi decides to impersonate Yuna for the time being until he can find the real Yuna and bring her back to the Kurimi family.

Well, even though the plot is quite interesting, it turns quite bland since it is the same story style for every of the first few chapters: Something happens which threatens his secret, or Rina gets in trouble, a bit of trouble here and there, but ultimately Rando would somehow find a solution to the problem. Not to mention the number of jokes relating towards Rando’s sexual reproductive organ…

Even so, every chapter is packed with laughter and the story is always unpredictable, making it a fun read. Despite the immaturity of the beginning chapters, the later chapters have a nice story progression that would satisfy those who bore through the story’s initial boring story style…

Also, even though it is labeled under a ‘Shounen’ genre, the protagonist journey through understanding females and his selfless love for his crush would most probably how this story appeals the female audiences. Well, that is AFTER you overlook the fact that this story is packed with loads of ecchi-ness (even though there is no exposure of privates), which will turn off A LOT of viewers after a few chapters.

The ending of the story is also unsatisfying, but it doesn’t have a sour taste to it in spite of it being a rushed ending.

Rating: 7/10 <<<<<<< DDD

In the nutshell: An enjoyable comedy for those who love gender-bending manga, but be warned of this manga’s extensive use of Ecchi and sexual jokes. Not recommended for those who hate ‘beat-around-the-bush’ stories, as that will spoil the mood.

2009-12-18T23:32:00.005+08:00

Went out with Eng Hoong, Ying Ying and Juit Lin today~!

Yeah... met up in Jurong Point for lunch...

And then took a train to Somerset... all 'cause Juit Lin wanted to buy socks at the newly-opened UNIQLO...

Like you cannot buy socks anywhere else...

Most of the time was spent looking at shop names and critising them~! Since I wasn't interested in shopping at all...

Yup... this is my queer way of entertainment...

Did I mention that I have NEVER been to Somerset before~?

Walked around other malls in the surrounding area (I don't know the names of any of them)...

One of them had and extremely disturbing Sesame Street show...

The hostess counting was bad: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10...; Maths failed~!

Either the hostess was acting cute, or the sponsors hired an idiot...

Most probably the former... but I wouldn't say the latter wasn't possible

Went to Plaza Singapura next.

Once again, first time there...

Like what Eng Hoong said: There's a first time for ALMOST everything...

Why the 'almost'~?

You want to try smoking or illegal drugs for a first time?

Okay` Got your point...

Saw an Arcade there. Which I never knew existed...

Intended to try playing, but the noise was too loud~

So... We didn't.

Noticed a Cosplay shop too~! Which I once again never knew existed...

I am really closet freak, aren't I?

Almost drove Juit Lin crazy with our utmost ignorance with basic things which I didn't think made sense...

Like the common phrase 'Diao Yu' (Fishing in Chinese) could be referring to getting a Boyfriend/Girlfriend...

I actually thought that she wanted to go fishing~!

Surprisingly, Eng Hoong commented that I can never lose to Yan Qing...

In simplier terms, she could be referred to as the 'Ultimate Boss'...
(Yan Qing - No offence there)

Visited a few shops here and there... More critising... Yada yada...

Stopped by Comics Connection...

Realised Naruto Vol.48 was out~!

Looked around at the merchandise and mangas.

Eng Hoong was looking (intensively) at Vampire Knight merchandises...

Big fan?

Obvious...

Saw some titles that I recognise too~!

In the end, they bought Yan Qing's Birthday present there...

I got to start working on mine soon~!

Juit Lin did practically all of the shopping~!

And the rest just stood around doing NOTHING.

Random conversation here and there...

Got bored. So in the end travelled back to Jurong Point...

I also noticed Juit Lin kept talking about Chemistry...

She said she was complaining about how hard Organic Chem. was...

Then stop complaining then...

Can we leave this 'til we get out 'O' Level results back?

At Jurong Point, Ying Ying and Eng Hoong ate KFC.

Asked them why they got hungry so fast after lunch...

Reply: That was breakfast; THIS is lunch

...

Played $20 worth of games in the Arcade...

Actually, Eng Hoong and I shared the cost; I only used $10...

Juit Lin said that it was a waste of money...

Which I can't say I won't admit...

And the whole hour we were playing a shooting game~!

Juit Lin got the job of topping up the coins so that we can continue playing... Boring job, isn't it?

Managed to reach Level 3, but ran out of lives and money... Didn't finish the game...

But it was fun~!

Did I mention that I have NEVER been to an Arcade before in my entire 16 years of existence?

Eng Hoong was even terrified, saying something about teaching me the wrong thing...

To make up for Ying Ying's and Juit Lin's utter boredom (they didn't play), we let them chose where to go for the rest of the time...

Result; Juit Lin's Journey For A New Phone (<- Looks like a book title...) Which ironically only lasted 15 minutes...

Saw my 4th uncle, aunt and cousins there~! They were picking up dog supplies...

Utterly shocked! They stay all the way in Woodlands!!!

Worse, my aunt could not recognise me...

Didn't we just saw each other 3 weeks ago?

Ended up in the Library for the rest of the time...

More random conversations again~

Picked up that Naruto Vol. 48 on the way home.

At home, Dad asked me what I did... Replied shopping and Arcade...

Dad's comment: Arcade is a waste of money...

Deja vu anyone?

Well, overall it was fun~

Except...

Except?

I had to wear a stupid bloody skirt 'cause all my pants still haven't dry after washing...

Goddamn rain...

2009-12-16T23:19:00.036+08:00

Wah~! That was some journey, eh?

You said it…

Sorry for not updating earlier. I was busy with helping out around my grandmother’s house.

Apparently, my cousin’s maid went home for a month, so now I have been ‘allocated’ the duty of taking care of some of the housework at my grandmother’s house…

The rest of the time was used to type an “offline”, due to my uneven schedule.

It IS a long post, after all…

Everyone, ganbatte~!

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING OUT TOO!
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING OUT TOO!

Well then, here’s my experience of my Japan Trippppppppppp~!

(Background sound of a certain somebody being chased around by two others in a virtual space, only to be caught and dragged back for extra work…)

Ok… that plane ride was exhausting…

Yeah, since I could not sleep a wink AT ALL~!

Reach Japan in the morning after a night flight…

Ah~ I want to sleep… but can’t.

We first went to our hotel to deposit our luggages, before I was (reluctantly) dragged around the city streets…

Tokyo’s streets are no different from Singapore’s, just that the clothes style of the people were rather… unique…

Visited one of the places famous for its long stretch of Gingko trees~!

We went there in autumn, so most of the leaves were on the ground…

Walked a little further, and managed to catch a glimpse of a ‘Change-of-season’ Festival.

Then had beef rice for lunch…

We ordered through a vending machine~! So cute*

On our way to a park, we manage to see a store vendor making traditional rice cakes.

Too bad we didn’t eat any…

Chanced upon a cosplay café too… Some of the costumes were displayed outside…

And no; I did not go in…

On our way to a park to see the maple trees, we saw some people in cosplays (I think?).

My parents just HAD to take a picture with one of them…

... which by the way (sorry, no offence) looks absolutely NOTHING like cosplay...

Finally reached the park…

Lookie at the maple leaves~!

Saw some people in their seasonal kimonos too…

Checked into the hotel before going to dinner…

Ramen~!

Another vending machine… What’s with people and vending machines?

Even saw one selling cigarettes earlier~!

After dinner, went up to the 42nd story of a building nearby for the view of Tokyo city…

Looks nice, but at that point of time, my phobia of heights acted up…

Go Figure…

07-12-2009 Monday

After breakfast, took the express train to Hakone, a town in Tokyo.

Later took the tram up the mountains…

The view is AWESOME~!

Had lunch, looked around somemore, and went to look at the plants in their botanic gardens.

Managed to see some Sakura flowers.

Or rather, the October Sakura, which is the only species of sakuras in bloom currently.

Travelled to the next hotel in a cable car…

... which once again triggered my phobia of heights...
(Just so you know, I only knew of these photos after the whole experience; My dad took these photos when I was in my trance-state…)

We were staying in an onsen hotel… and they are very traditional…

Both before and after dinner, my mum and I went to the onsen (hot springs).

…

No comments here…

Except that it was EXTREMELY EMBARASSING to bare it all IN FRONT OF ALL THE FEMALES~!

My mum just had to make the stupid comment “There’s nothing to hide; we’re all females.”

Yeah, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I’M NOT USED TO EXPOSING MY BODY TO OTHERS SINCE 5 YEARS OLD!!!

I seriously wonder how she can get accustomed to this…

Well~ it’s not as bad as dad…

Why?

He asked why didn’t we take any pictures there…

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

And he even asked my brother to take his picture wh-

THAT HENTAI SIDE OF HIM SHOULD JUST GO SMASH HS HEAD IN A WALL!!!
______________________________________________

08-12-2009 Tuesday

Wah~! The meals were really elaborate and extremely delicious~!

By the way, my mum booked a family onsen for that morning…

AND for obvious reasons we were allowed to wear our swimming gear…

Wonder why they didn’t allow us to do so in the regular onsen? I’m still highly sensitive about it…

Dunno…

After breakfast, we continued our ascend in Hakone…

... which just so happen to be in a…

... god-damn cable car…

WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THESE ACTIVITIES?!

Once again, I refrained from looking down by looking up… but turned momentarily for…

... Ne ne~! Mite, mite... Mount Fuji~!

But right after that, I accidentally looked down…

Great… Phobia triggered AGAIN…

After getting off, we visited the sulfur mines…

Where all that sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide smelled like rotten eggs and irritated my eyes…

Took another stupid cable car ride to the pier (not the stop where we started from)…

Seriously, one of these days I need to make an important mental note for my mum to REMEMBER to stop arranging all these activities which have HEIGHTS~

Had packed lunch before taking a boat ride…

Not very particular about boat rides, so forgotten to take pictures…

Gome…

Visited a shrine when we got off the boat…

Just for the heck of it, my bro prayed for a good entry to the school he chooses (which I have until now no idea what it is) and I prayed for good ‘O’ level results for all of this year’s Fuhua Sec 4s…

On the way, my bro bought a miniature toy katana for 400 yen…

After that, we took a bus to our next hotel.

Another onsen hotel… Nice…

09-12-2009 Wednesday

Great… Dad’s sick…

Limits what we could do for the day…

After breakfast, we visited the Venetian glass Museum.

I bet Nusrat would love to go there~!

There were many types of Venetian glass on display (I cannot upload all of the photos here due to the lack of disc space) but this was one of them that I liked in particular~!

My bro and I also made our own customized glass pieces: My bro made a keychain and I made a pendant.

After lunch in the Italian restaurant there, we explored a bit more before taking the train back to Tokyo and letting my dad rest…

______________________________________________

10-12-2009 Thursday

Dad was feeling better, so we went out to look around Tokyo.

No. We are not in New York… It is just an imitation...

Obvious since Rainbow Bridge is in the Background. (You’ll know why it is called that way later…)

Visited a car showroom…

Seriously, can my dad just STOP thinking about getting a new car?

Didn’t really do much there… C’mon~! It’s a CAR SHOWROOM!!!

My Bro played Go-kart…

I took some driving simulation test…

Surprisingly, I got a ‘B’~!

Also noticed a table soccer corner (I think that was its name…) Played with my bro…

Result: He won the first 3 games, but I won the next 10…

He got seriously pissed, so played with my mum…

He won by 1 point…

…

Visited Fuji TV station after explore the nearby shopping centres after lunch.

Considerably interesting…

Had pizza for dinner…

See~? This is why this is called Rainbow Bridge…

I initially thought that it was some weird kiddie place...

______________________________________________

11-12-2009 Friday

Dad’s illness got worse…

And it was raining…

Stay inside the whole morning taking care of him

But was eventually dragged out to Ginza for shopping by my mother as she was bored…

BRRR~! So cold~!

Uhhh…
______________________________________________

12-12-2009 Saturday

Dad was feeling better; but I got a little sick….

Not used to eating Japanese food everyday for every meal, I guess…

We went to look at Tokyo’s famous fish market…

…

I am not particular about going out, but the extremely large crowd was making me feel even more uncomfortable…

... which obviously made me very grumpy, much to my parents’ dissatisfaction…

I refused to take any medication, but was eventually forced to eat by my parents’ equally persistent behavior…

Result: Allergy Reaction; Swollen face.

What is worse than falling ill and not taking medication would definitely be getting an allergic reaction because you TOOK medication.

I really have to remind my mum to bring along those medication that I am NOT allergic to…

So, I couldn’t go look around in Asakusa… *sobs…

My dad brought me back to the hotel to rest for the rest of the afternoon.

Rest… for the rest of the afternoon…

This is not time for puns…

After the allergy subsided (though my face was still a bit swollen), we went out for dinner and went to the Tokyo tower…

And no. We are not in Paris…
______________________________________________

13-12-2009 Sunday

Last day in Japan, so no matter what, my mum wanted to drag me around Ameyoko for shopping…

Even though I was not feeling very well…

Dragged from one store to another…

Resolution: Accept whatever she wants to buy before she goes overboard.

Since I was not having much of an appetite, my mum got Takoyaki (Fried Octopus balls)

…

For someone like me who have no appetite, I managed to finish off the entire plate~!

Bought a few more things, before getting on the train to the airport…

______________________________________________

Well, I guess that’s that…

Yup~!

Sorry for the lack of photos… Blogspot is unable to support too many photos…

Oh and by the way, my mum is still in Japan on business trip, and she claim that she was going to buy back a skirt for me...

... which I ABSOLUTELY DETEST!

Great...

2009-12-01T20:34:00.003+08:00

Nipaaaaaaaaaaaaah~ I'm bored...

Why are you bored?

*yawn These few days have been learning basic Japanese for the upcoming trip to Tokyo...

So...?

It's starts to get boring when you sit in front of a computer the whole day listening to some random equally bored guy speaking to himself who just happed to be taped...

...

Right...

So when are we leaving for Tokyo again?

This saturday, I guess...

Which reminds me of the offer of going out with Eng Hoong and friends on the SAME DAY...

Had to turn it down, huh...

I was ACTUALLY looking forward to going to an arcade... Never been to one before...

What can you expect? We are labelled"anti-social" and never really hung out with anyone before...

With exception of this year that is~!

... yeah...

...
...
...

So we will be taking another temporary break after this post?

Probably...

...
...
...

Now that you mention it, what was Primary School like again~?

...
...

I don't know...

Me too...

If we really must start searching...

... we will probably have to spend another whole day raking up information. No assurance that we will get anything though...

Ah~! Never mind...

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, or literally When the Cicadas Cry, is a story situated during the period of June 1983, and tells the events of a group of children living in a rural village in Hinamizawa. Everything seems normal in the village, as assessed by the newly-moved in Maebara Keiichi. Until, that is, the annual Watanagashi Festival comes along and mysterious murders start happening, and people are claiming it is due to the Oyashiro-sama Curse…

The first season is separated into separated story arcs: Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, Tatarigoroshi-hen, Himatsubushi-hen [Question Arcs] Meakashi-hen, Tsumihoroboshi-hen [Answer Arcs];

Each story arc repeats the time period of June 1983, but with different scenarios and from different characters’ perspectives. As the series progresses, backgrounds of the main characters are revealed and you will find yourself thinking that you have solved the mystery behind the murders, only to be marked down when an unexpected event happens and you find yourself back at square one. To add on to the excitement, each story arc is thrilling to the bone, which will make you addicted to the story and wanting to find out more.

One thing is for sure though; each story arc will always have at least one of the main characters becoming paranoid and committing murder, so prepare and brace yourself for madness and violence because there are sure to have scenes to send chills down your spine.

Of course, there is censorship, so it is still an anime suitable for teenagers…

The second season, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai, is the sequel to Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, and shares more limelight on the events that happened in the first season. (*Note: The kanji ‘Kai; 解’in the title means to explain)

The second season is also separated in another few story arcs: Yakusamashi-hen [Question Arc] Minagoroshi-hen, Matsuribayashi-hen [Answer Arcs]. Events are explained with greater detail so that viewers are able to follow the story better. The real protagonist and antagonist of the story are also revealed here, and the second season explains causes of the murders in both seasons clearly, especially regarding the ‘Oyashiro-sama Curse’. The origin of the mystery is very interesting, and the way the mystery is slowly revealed is excellent. I assure you, every moment is packed with excitement that it will keep you glued to your seats.

Then where does the ‘Comedy’ come in?

As an anime will be boring if it is constantly fixated on the mystery theme… so some elements of laughter are also added to ease up any tension build up through the story…

Sorry. Wrong laughter picture.

By the way, there is OBVIOUSLY something wrong looking at your face…

Not as funny as other animes which specialize in the comedy sector, but quite likable considering this to be of a mystery genre.

The OVA, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Rei, is a collection of extra episodes of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni that happens after the probably after the mystery of the murders are solved. (*Note: The kanji ‘Rei; 礼’in the title means Gratitude) The story arcs are: Hajisarashi-hen, Saikoroshi-hen and Hirukowashi-hen. Unlike the first and second season, the OVA is specialized in the Comedy sector, so there is no mystery in these episodes. Nevertheless, it is a good laugh from the usual tense feeling from the original story…

... Not to mention all the fan-service here…

What can you expect? It's a swimsuit episode~! Every pervert man's dream...

But still, in my opinion, the whole Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni series is considered as one of the best murder-mystery stories I have ever known…

Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D

In the nutshell: A nice anime that I highly recommend for mystery lovers, but may not be very well-liked by those who are unable to comprehend the storyline, and re-watching of the scenes maybe required for some people to understand. Censorship is also effectively used, so murder scenes are not too gruesome, thus an enjoyable thriller without going over the edge.

2009-11-28T21:38:00.006+08:00

Oh. My. God. My Internet is horribly slow…

You can say that again…

‘Oh. My. God. My internet is horribly slow…’

You’re not making any sense now…

So anyways… it’s been like forever since I am posted a blog post.

Yup… It was EXTREMELY boring without Internet…

To cut back on time, I’ll summarise the events for the important days…

Or, if you look at it in another way, that we are too lazy to post a long paragraph per day event.

______________________________________________
MONDAY

It was prom night...

Yes. I wore a stupid dress, with stupid high heels, put on stupid make-up and style my hair in a stupid way...

(You can very well tell that I was not in a very good mood then; sorry if I hurt anyone with my sour attitude in the beginning)

______________________________________________
Wednesday

Class BBQ.

Due to my slow Internet, i coud only upload three photos...

Not that I even took much photos in the first place...

Yay! Fire started!

Finally...

Sunset...

Awesome view~!

End of BBQ...

What happens when a potato drops into a fire?

Potato-turned-charcoal... whee...

After the BBQ, we went night-cycling.

Since I did not have enough money, and two of my classmates cannot cycle, I ended up being one of the two cyclist chosen to go on a double bike...

And my partner was Wei Lin~!

This was the first time I rode a double bike, let alone ride with another person... So I kind of expected Wei Lin to freak out...

Well, she wasn't used to the bike for the first 5 mins, but after that I could go faster...

Apparently, it was not her first time on a double bike (first time was Darren; WHAT DID YOU DO TO MAKE HER THIS SCARED?!), but she still a little scared.

And Yong Ming, along with Gabriel, just HAD to make things worse by threatening us with their act of trying to knock us over...

Result: Loads of screams from Wei Lin... From BOTH the fear of those two jokers with their silly joke AND the speed of the bike I had to paddle in order to prevent the two of us from getting knocked over~!

They seriously need to know when to joke around...

______________________________________________

Thursday

Ee Zher (bro) got back PSLE~!

Got 203 points and elligible for express stream. 'C' for English; 'A' for Maths; 'A' for Science.

Very happy since I was the one tutoring him Science...

Especially since he usually just passes or even fails that subject~!

However, parents want him to go Normal Acadamic Stream (NA)...

I kind of understand my parents' thinking, since with Ee Zher's academic ability might not allow him to score very high if he were to enter Express Stream...

But they shouldn't have phrased it in this way: "Never mind if you go into Normal Academic Stream... With your Jie Jie (older sister in chinese) in Express Stream is OK already..."

Not sure is it just to persuade him or otherwise...?

______________________________________________

Friday

Forced to go shopping with Mum, wearing a ridiculously girly-top that will send any of my classmates who see me straight to hell...

Must I say more?

______________________________________________

Saturday(Today)

Visited Fairfield Secondary with the intention of asking the principal about accepting my bro...

Sadly, no one was there...

Not to mention the other schools we intented to visit today...

The Clock is ticking~! 4 days left before submission of selection of secondary schools~!

2009-11-22T15:59:00.007+08:00

The Day of Revolution is a story of a rebellious 16-year-old feminine-looking boy, Yoshikawa Kei, where he is hit on by his “fighting buddies” and was never cared for by his strict father. One day, he falls ill and is taken to the hospital, only to find out later that he was actually genetically female! Deciding to change his life, he sets out to restart his life, but this time as a female, Yoshikawa Megumi!

I’m not going to say that this manga promotes homosexuality, or that I approve of it, since when it comes down to the crux, the protagonist (technically) has always been a girl (Unless people read the lead as male, then the story becomes no different from any Yaoi manga…)

What I feel makes this manga so interesting is that the mangaka was able to showcase the feelings of how Kei/Megumi decides to live through the decision of changing from a male to a female, and the difficulties she faces to accept her new self physically and mentally.

But I just want to point out some things…

The case of what has been described in the manga (where the protagonist is phenotypically male but genetically female) does actually happen in real life (de la Chapelle syndrome). However, even with such a minority existing, many current societies are unable to accept these people, just because they seem weird. Ultimately, every single one of us are human, no matter male or female or somewhere in between. Even so, why do we ostracize them just because they are not totally male or totally female?

Even though my description makes the manga sound very serious, it is actually quite enjoyable (the above paragraph is mostly my deep interpretation of the story which I feel that I absolutely must type out. Ignore if need be.). The story is cute and light-hearted, and also in a way refreshing as I do not usually get this feeling from reading most other mangas. I also think that the art style is pretty good, since I usually get turned off when I see a poorly drawn manga…

Rating: 8/10 <<<<<<<< DD

In the nutshell: A nice and funny short manga that also in my opinion very meaningful if put into consideration. Not much of an ending though, to my dissatisfaction. Highly recommended for those who love gender-bending manga, but I suggest those who strongly opposes the idea of gender-change to not read this.

2009-11-21T22:10:00.015+08:00

Whee~! First time at an Anime Festival~!

Wow. First time Yuki-san is this enthusiatic...

And first time I see you so lack of energy...

Too tired... Nyaa~ I wanna sleep...

Today, took my bro Ee Zher to the anime festival at Suntec Convection and Exhibition Centre. Met my cousin Kai Li at the City Hall MRT station and proceeded to walk there...

And my bro forgot to bring a camera!!! WHY?!?!?!?!?!

So had to use my poor quality phone camera instead...

'though most of the time we spent looking than taking pictures...

Sorry for the lack of pictures...

'though I regret forgetting to take pictures of the various cosplays there...

However, we (eezher and I) did not have any tickets, so we had to queue up... (Kai Li had already pre-registered his ticket and went in first)

If it was already this crowded at 10am, you wouldn't believe how crowded it was later in the afternoon...

Oh, and this picture is deceiving... The number of people queing up is about 100 times the amount that you can see in this picture.

Queued for over an hour before finally being able to by the tickets.

Tickets for a student for 1 day was $12 dollars...

Huuray for being a student~!

As for my bro...

(eezher) 'cause I'm 12, I can go in free~Y !

DON'T YOU DARE ACT LIKE THE MAIDS IN THE MOE MOE KYUN~ CAFE, EEZHER!!!

Entered at 11am... as you can see, it's already very crowded...

AND HUGE FOR THAT MATTER!!!

Went exploring for a while, before finally being found by our cousin ('cause we got lost)...

... who was what was in a cardboard box labelled 'Gundam' across the chest...

Yup...! Nothing beats hand-made cosplay (even if it is made of cardboard...)

And although I forgot to take a photo of it, but there was a karaoke booth playing the various anime songs~!

'though I hate karaoke...

But there were many people who was able to sing the lyrics perfectly (one of them including Motteke! Sailor Fuku which has EXTREMELY fast lyrics)

Kai Li also had a go at it... ('though I did not recognise the song AT ALL)

To all fellow otakus out there... Sorry for being so ignorant...

Went to doodle on the Graffiti wall...

Can you identify my drawing...?
...
...
...
...
...

Ah! Forget it! This was my drawing...

'though it was rather shortlived...

It was brought down later due to the lack of space... *sobs...

The staff there were actually complaining why I would "waste time" shading it...

Well, any drawing worth drawing is worth perfecting, isn't it?

Later met Victor, a poly student, who was collecting various drawings for his research on various artforms.

I must say, I'm impressed with his elaborate collection of drawings and comics...

I only draw for interest and as a way to relieve stress... I don't think I could ever study art with such ernest...

Both Kai Li and me drew a random sketch... 'though I could think of anything at that point of time...

Bad timing, eh?

Later visited the figurine collection that were on display.

Which I surprisingly remembered that I had a camera function in my phone~

That was nowhere near cute...

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu!

Check out their poses! It's just like in the Hare Hare Yukai Dance~!

Lucky☆Star~!

The anime that does nothing more than talk about random stuff...

More than Eng Hoong too~! :P

Shakugan no Shana.

Er... not that I can remember anything to comment on...

Sadly, there was no 'K- ON!' available...

Got hungry later, so bought frozen pomegranate yogurt...

Ee Zher bought one with choco toppings.

And mine was with longan...

...

Not as tasty as I would expect it to be... Not worth $5 at all...

Finally, attended a prize presentation for an art competition...

Kai Li's friend (don't know the name; sorry) went up on stage to recieve a prize too~!

Reached home at about 6 plus...

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that I bought an anime figurine as well~!

Figurine from Lucky☆Star~!

It was a figurine that allowed me to change heads, so I chose Minami's head...

(eezher) Yep~! And it is so nice to make it do yoga poses as well...

I TOLD YOU DON'T DO THAT!!!

So well, although the convection continues tommorrow as well, I bought a one-day ticket so I would be at home...

After all, I don't have the money to go again for this year...

Might consider going again next year...

Care to join us?

2009-11-18T20:43:00.002+08:00

Hee hee... So how was our "Anime and Manga corner"?

Must be pretty boring for a host like her, right?

NO WAY~ MU-TAN AIN'T BORING!!!

Ooo... Third-person speech... How very nice...

... you guys... This conversation is getting boring...

Okay, fine...

Oh yeah... You're not going to wear contacts, right Mun Teng?

No... I can't imagine putting something in my eyes... I'm too scared at the thought...

And this is coming from someone would LOVES murder stories...

That's different!!!

Oh~ So Mun Teng is not going to wear contacts for prom?

...

Er, Mu-tan... I don't think you should be reminding her of "prom"...

Why?

...................................................

Eh? Mun Teng? Why are you not saying anything? Say something~

I don't think you should be provoki-

You two just SHUT UP!!!

...
...

What happened to her?

Today, the hairstylist accidentally misintrepretted her words when she went to the hair saloon, so instead of trimming her hair, the guy ended up cutting it short again...

AND IT TOOK FOREVER TO KEEP MY HAIR THAT LONG!!!

Actually, it's 5 months to be exact...

WHATEVER!

...

OooKaaay... Sooo what's the problem there?

Er... with short hair... don't you think its obvious...?

???

*whispers She is once again at the stage where people will mistake her for a guy again...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~
So how's that bad?

ARGH!!!

Ah! Mun Teng's gone mad! Run for your lives!!!

______________________________________________

And so the story ended with the murders of the two fictional charcters...
...Or is it?
...
...
...
...
...
Just joking.

Yuki-san! Stop making the endings like this... it is weird...

Sorry... addicted to "Umineko no Naku koro ni" right now...

Just don't make me a saddist like you, thank you very much...

2009-11-15T21:07:00.019+08:00

K- on, or Light music club, is a slice of life anime about four, later on five, high school girls who form a band using the about-to-be-closed-down light music club. But it’s not that simple, not when…

The guitarist and main vocalist, Hirasawa Yui(right in pic), is an airhead and constantly keeps forgetting the chords and the song lyrics, despite being a perfect-pitch (ability to identify and successfully duplicate the same note heard)…

The bassist and composer, Akiyama Mio, is a ‘delicate’ person that refuses to be the centre of attention, although she is skilled in her given instrument and has a good voice (she’s also the backup vocalist; though there are exceptions when she’s becomes the main vocalist)…

The drummer and club leader, Tainaka Ritsu, is the laziest person in the club during practice, and more than often messes up important documents…

... only to suffer under Mio’s wrath.

And the keyboardist, Kotobuki Tsumugi, is the innocent ‘rich shoujo’ that is the one who resolves most conflicts (with sweets?). And though she may seem as the only normal one among the rest, there is one slight problem…

Yup, who would let an all-girl anime go without any girls within the ‘shoujo-ai’ constrains…?

Come on, it’s a seinen anime…

... though, it’s oblivious to the others, so there is no problem there…

THIS ANIME IS SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN SO PLEASE DO NOT WORRY!!!

And let’s not forget the later-joined backup guitarist, Nakana Azusa. Being the other girls’ kouhai by one year, she is very respectful towards the rest of the band…

... though she is extremely strict when it comes to practice sessions.

Every episode is filled with enough laughter to send anyone to the doctor due to stomach cramps…

But even when most of their times are spend lazing around, their band performances are surprisingly great!

... no comments on the lyrics and song title…(F.Y.I. the left half is their advisor initially being unable to stand the lyrics of ‘Fuwa Fuwa Time’; the right half are the song titles the band played during freshmen reception)

But even so, they still sound so nice and so god-damn awesome!

Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D

In the nutshell: A nice anime for newcomers to the world of anime, and also a cute funny anime for otakus, though it might be a bit short. Worth the time watching; even re-watching is entertaining! So get ready the popcorn, sit back and relax, because this anime will blow you off your seats!

2009-11-14T22:52:00.005+08:00

Hopeless! The computer just will not upload any pictures!!!

Ahhh~! What 'ta do?

No choice but to post like this I guess... 'though it will not be very entertaining...

Hmmm...

Anyway, yesterday went out with Eng Hoong, Yan Qing, Juit lin, Ying Ying, Min jia (and her younger sister who I forgot her name), Wei Lin and Li Feng.

Yeah. Second time I actually went out with friends~!

The first was to buy teachers' day presents...

During that whole time, I realised a few things about my classmates:
Eng Hoong likes to walk in front most of the time, and start random conversations.
Yan Qing has practically NO OPINION at all. (We even joked that she would have no opinion on choosing a husband...)
Juit Lin talks a LOT...
Ying Ying talks MORE than Juit lin, to the point that she was able to make me converse for 20 whole minutes. (which to my surprise was my best record considering that my replies are usually 1-2 words)
Min Jia ACTUALLY has a strict side. (or to her sister at least)
Wei Lin shares a lot of the same anti-socialist-experiences as me.
Li Feng LOVES to shop. (She practically led us from one shop to another; that's the head prefect for you!)

In the end, I bought a Pokemon DVD for Shuen Wey(cousin)...

And a Pokemon puzzle for Cinn Yinn(Another cousin)~!

By the time I reached home, my feet screamed for oxygen due to the lactic acid build-up...

______________________________________________

Today went to the Fuhua Open House with my family. My First Instinct: NPCC BOOTH!

But unfortunately, my bro kept steering away from the uniform groups booth...

Went to the Hall to listen to Mr Phor's (propaganda) speech... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ... Oh~ sorry...

Then visited the rifle range~!
I couldn't shoot using the pistol as it was too light compared to the usual pistol i used in NPCC shooting~!

And my bro ACTUALLY hit the target as he visualised the target as MY HEAD!!!

But, surprisingly I managed to shoot a bull's eye when I used the rifle! Yay!

Oh, and we met Mr Fong(ex-english/humanities teacher) and Miss Chan(biology teacher) there ('cause they are teachers-in-charge)

~~Interrogated by Miss Chan on the difficulty of the 'O' level paper~~~ Eeep~!

Then, went to the Maths Department section and played "Who wants to be a Math-Millionaire?"

Some questions had permutation inside~! I'm glad I've went for that class~!

In the end I lost at the last question, as it was asking for the name of a famous Mathematician!

Like hell I would know...

Played a bit longer there, saw Min Jia and Poh Yin (And EVEN Mr Chia, opps)...

When about to leave, managed to go visit the NPCC booth.

Five words: They TOTALLY forgotten about me!!!
They ACTUALLY asked me to do drills!!! But later realised that I was their senior, lol...

Later went to my cousin's birthday party...
One word: Boring.

Well, better than going to my primary school gathering, where I could barely remember anyone considering my anti-social attitude...

And that puzzle I bought for my cousin... Someone else bought an EXACT SAME ONE FOR HER!!!

...............................................................

Yuki-san is going into depression...

______________________________________________

Well, that's all for now. I guess...

Well then, Sayonara~!

.....................................................................

Mu-tan, Yuki-san is still in depression... Become her plaything to cheer her up!

EH?! Nan-de?!

'O' LEVELS ARE FINALLY OVER!!! WHOO~!

... whee...

I'M SO HAPPY I'M GOING TO SCREAM TOO~! AHHHH-

-WHACK-

Ouch! Whatever was that for?

'cause you're stupid...

Okay okay... you two break it up! People who just start reading the first post are going to have question marks all over their heads.

Hmmm... Why?

At least a proper introduction, please?

I can do that. But can Mu-tan do it?

Of course~!

Stop that "~" or I'll hit you again...

Then you stop the "..." first.

You guys...

______________________________________________

Okay, for those who have no idea what is going on, or for those who didn't bother to read the introduction, I'll explain.

As compared to the previous post the last few times before I went on temporary break, this time the posts will take the format of a three-person conversation... (But actually all three are me...)

In order to facilitate the three-person scenario, post will be seperated into three groups:
1) The main person (which is my general thinking, and the narrator)
2) The sadist (which is my not-so-sadist-yet-still-bad thinking)
3) The comedy relief (which is my not-so-funny-and-stupid thinking)

The last two groups are usually for comedy relief, or for other miscellaneous activities that I will mention later on...

So, if no other questions, let's continue...

___________________________________________

Ah~! Glad that's over.

-WHACK-

Why did you hit me again?!

No apparent reason...

Why you...

Okay enough you two. Didn't you two already agrued enough during the 'O' level period?

No...
No~! [same time]

*sigh...

2009-07-14T23:31:00.006+08:00

~THE LAST POST~

This will be somehow the last post until the end of my 'O' Levels for this year, so I'm going to update a few things...

1) I'm back in chinese tuition... AGAIN...

Basically my parents just cannot be assured that I can do without chinese tution, and I end up having to go back to the same tuition again... WHICH PART OF OVERLY STRESSED DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND?!?!?! I even broke down today, and had to see the counsellor...

2) Dental treatment FINALLY over

Total cost(without crowning YET): S$1270

Can die arh~

3) Homework piled so high that every waking moment is do homework... Need to elaborate more?

4) Remedial classes till 4.30pm, sometimes till 5pm!

5) POP STILL not here yet... Probably next next week...

Well, that's all I can say... So...

It's good bye for now~!

2009-07-03T22:05:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday to you,
you live in the zoo.
You look like a girl,
much more than I do.

Let me take this chance to wish my bro a happy 12th birthday! You might be wondering whether I really sung that song, but I'm not THAT evil lah...

After Bio remedial today, went to buy my bro a PINK card with a cow on top, plus a Pokemon Comic book (since the only other boyish thing that I know that he likes apparently). I was VERY tempted to buy new manga... But due to the lack of pocket money (had to pay for all the TYS) and my promise to myself not to buy new manga until end of 'O' Levels, I (bitterly) restrained myself...

Then at home, I set up a Treasure Hunt for him. He was screaming the whole time as he had to walk up and down and up again... After that, we sang birthday song and let him blow out the candle on his birthday donuts (yes, I didn't say wrongly; It's a cluster of donuts).

Now as I am typing this, I am still wondering how should I tell my parents about my ex-chinese tutor... Apparently, as I was the only person left (the rest of the group were normal chinese students) and since my schedule did not fit hers, she wanted to quit...

Even saying that, she could have said it in a better way...

(Thursday, 5.45pm, Just Reached Grandparents' home)
Me: 我回来了。。。I'm back...
Grandpa: 啊！曼婷啊！你的华文补习老师在找你。。。Ah! MunTeng ah! Your chinese tutor is looking for you
Me: 哦。知道了！Oh. Understand!
(Picks up telephone reciever to dial number; Phone rings)
Tutor: 喂？Hello?
Me: 请问这是老师吗？我是曼婷。。。Is this the tutor? I am MunTeng...
(And this is where the phone practically starts burning up)
Tutor: 曼婷！我实在是没办法补你了！MunTeng! I definitely cannot teach you already!
Me: 啊？Ah?
Tutor: 我的时间没有的可以给你了！I don't have any more time-slots for you!
Me: 啊？！Ah?!
Tutor: 你交上两堂课的补习费。我不要你了！Give me two weeks worth of the tuition fees. I don't want you already!
Me: 啊？！？！？！AH?!?!?!
(Line cuts; conversation end)

After telling this to Min Jia, Wei Lin and Jia Yin, all burst out in laughter... Min Jia even said that it sounded like as if the tutor was disowning me...

Anyway, back to reality. As I was the only (pathetic) person who have heard the conversation, no one other than my grandparents and my aunt knows. MY PARENTS DON'T KNOW YET!!! I keep thinking how I should tell them, what will their reactions be, and what will happen after that. Maybe I will have to attend another chinese tution; Maybe I will have home-tutoring... In any case, I have to tell soon though, since the tutor is chasing me for the fees like a loan shark...

But for now, let my parents be happy first. After all, it's my brother's birthday...

2009-06-25T15:16:00.002+08:00

Went to cut my hair yesterday... I can practically hear my mum screaming at me... "No!!! I want Mun Teng to keep her hair long!!!"

Since the hair stylist that I usually go to was on leave, I had no choice but to try another one... The hair stylist that cut my hair made my hair slightly different than last time...
Dumb part is... It makes me look more like a guy!!! Next time I make a mental note NEVER to go there again...

Back to today again, I had to go for my second visit to the dentist... another painful operation... Ah, back to baby food...

Other than that are all boring stuff... Got to go for tuition...

'till next time...!

2009-06-23T14:11:00.002+08:00

-REFER BACK TO PREVIOUS POST-

Okay... so maybe the description in my previous post was not enough...

Illustration of what I wore on monday below...P.S. I know the picture looks weird due to all the copy and pasting, but that was what I really looked like (EXCEPT THE FACE) ...

2009-06-22T22:12:00.002+08:00

Okay, I admit - I seriously am not very gender-conscious...

I was quite vaguely aware of it since my parents kept reminding me to be more lady-like, but this was too much...

Today in the afternoon, me, my dad and my younger brother went to IMM to restock on our milk and juice supply... Since my mum was working, I was able to choose whatever I wanted to wear without my mum fussing. So I just threw on a polo T-shirt along with some long pants...

And the results...?

I) While shopping, many of the sales people (and there were really a lot of them due to the GSS) refered to me as "小弟弟" (little boy)...

II) When my bro was hugging my arm, as usual like a girl, and I keep pushing him away, I (accidentally) heard someone commenting how mean I was as a "big brother"...

III) While waiting for my father at BEST (since my bro was too busy staring at the Xbox), and while the perverted little boys were messing with the controls to zoom in on Tomb Raider's ******* and ***, one of them actually asked me whether I wanted to see more...

IV) Walking away from the perverted little boys group, I looked around at the laptops on display out of boredom. A salesperson saw me browsing and came up to me, asking, "Sir, may I help you?" ...

V) When my father came back, and I was still very bored and still looking at the laptops, the same salesperson came back and said, "Sir, this is the latest model of our various laptops. Very useful for your son when he enters JC..."

If my mum ever finds out, she's gonna scream the hell out of me...

2009-06-17T22:07:00.003+08:00

Able to chew normal food now... which is good since I'm tired of baby food leh...

Anyway, today to East Coast Park for cycling. Couldn't fit my mountain bike in the car so had to rent mine... However, I wasn't used to the bike so took me 20 mins to change to a suitable gear setting... I've also took some pictures but currently am too tired to bother transferring it from my phone to the computer. Will upload next time.

After that, we went to Jurong Point to buy the prom dress. Took 2 hours just to find a suitable one... Personally I couldn't be bothered.

After dinner, put on everything (dress, belt, high heel shoes...) for my parents (my bro big nose had to poke in) to look at. *NOTE: My thought were in italics.

Mum: 哇！我的女儿终于有女人味了！(Wah! My daughter finally look like a girl!)
You don't think I am one?
Bro: OMG! Did I really have a sister? I thought I just had a weird older brother...
After this you die ah... (and he really did die after that...)
Dad: 我的女儿终于可以嫁出去了。。。 (My daughter is finally able to get married...)
I'm 16! I don't even have a boyfriend yet, how the hell did your thoughts go that far?

My mum was elated, my bro was shocked and my dad was relieved... I seriously wondered whether this is praise or just plain criticism...

And for obvious reasons, I ran away from the camera again... :P

'till next time!

P.S. my bro gave me the nickname "Mu-chan", which is derived from the anime parody spin-off "Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Yuutsu", Just because my name is (Mu)n Teng...

F.Y.I. This is Mu-chan

2009-06-12T21:43:00.003+08:00

The whole of today, I could not talk...
Only method of communication: Paper, pen and many weird sign languages...

It was extremely hard to teach the sec 1s without talking. Well, at least today was only campcraft...

If in the case scenario of needing me to teach drills, it would be like this:
Writes command on A3 size paper and flash it to the squad;
Another command saying to redo command if it is wrong...
...
Probably need 20 over pages of that... plus a lot of arm strength...

And since I was not able to talk, I think I might have deepen the impression of me being "emo" on the sec 1s... If I were to become CI next year, I might just be labelled as "Emo CI"!

After training, I treated Juliyana to Bubble tea in celebration of getting SSG rank plus thanks for helping me on last Friday night.

Went home and ate "baby food" for lunch... (mashed potatoes and vegetables mixed with porridge)

At night had weird conversation with parents...

Conversation 1:
Dad: Munteng, I talked to your tuition physics teacher...
Me: ...yeah...(muffled due to condition)
Dad: He said you have a short attention span in the afternoon...
Me: ...
Dad: And that you sometimes tend to sleep in class...
Me: ...
Dad: You should sleep more.
Me: Huh?
(At that point of time, he obviously meant that I should sleep earlier on Friday night)

Conversation 2:
Dad: Do you sleep in class often?
Me: Only when I am extremely tired...
Dad: When is that?
Me: ... {HOW WOULD I KNOW???}

Conversation 3:
Mum: Is it because that you have a heavy lunch?
Me: Now that you mention it, I do tend to fall asleep if I have a heavy lunch; it sometimes happens to me in school...
Dad: Then why didn't you tell us?
Me: I didn't think of it as much of a problem...
Dad & Mum: HOW CAN IT NOT BE A PROBLEM?!

Conversation 4:
Mum: You know, when I was in school, I never fall asleep...
Me: ...
Mum: The subjects were too interesting...
Bro: Either that, or the teacher was handsome~!
Dad: Maybe Munteng's teacher is not handsome enough...
Mum: I'M TRYING TO TEACH HERE! AT LEAST BE A BIT SUPPORTIVE!!!
Me: ... {Could have guessed just as much...; My mum likes handsome boys after all...}

So for tommorrow, I will have to try to stop my habit of falling asleep...

'till next time.

2009-06-11T21:36:00.002+08:00

Had my first root canal treatment today...

Procedure:
The dentist injects the gums surrounding the infected tooth with Local anesthetic to numb the tooth, before the tooth is drilled to reach the nerve endings. And X-ray is then taken to confirm the inner structure of the tooth. Next, a rubber mask is put into the patient's mouth to surround the tooth. More Local anesthetic is then injected before the nerves are being scrapped out with a super fine needle-like drill, which is sucked up a small vacuum. Antibiotics is then administered to prevent any infections before the tooth is filled up...

Okay, it may seem okay for you just reading this, but there are some reality checks I want people to take note of...
1) The rubber mask is extremely uncomfortable 'cause it feel as though you are trying to eat an inflated balloon.
2) I had 4 shots of Local anesthetic and it STILL hurts.
3) The whole operation was 1 hour.
4) This is ONLY the first session; I have two more sessions and each costs S$450.
5) The pain after the Local anesthetic wears off is CRAZY LIKE NO TOMMORROW!!!!!
6) I can't talk; the tooth hurts.

Somehow, since I am used to not talking, 6) is the most easiest thing for me to do.

And since tommorow got NPCC training, and since KIWI is now SSG~... He will take command~!
Let's just hope everyone does not die laughing...

'till next time!

2009-06-09T22:12:00.003+08:00

Today went for a family shoot at New Image. I was totally tired from the experience due to the uncomfortable poses that we had to do. Not to mention that I was forced to wear a skirt and makeup... In the end, the photo shoot took 4 hours...

Now I understand how models feel...

Since I have nothing much to update... More Pictures!

Drew this out of plain boredom... and since the younger version looks puny... [no offence though]

Drew this one after reading the last chapter of Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu... Added words at the bottom so that people will known which part the picture is refering to...

Anyway, if you like to rate or comment on my pictures, you can go access my side blog since the picture are there too...

P.S. my aunt is going to bring me shopping next monday for you-know-what...

'till next time!

2009-06-07T18:50:00.003+08:00

Nothing much to post except the weird ceremony on Thursday...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KIWI'S STAFF SERGEANT PLEADGE

I, Neo Kai Wei, (insert NRIC here), of 4E1, hereby pledge while upholding the Staff Sergeant.
I, will always treat my peers and fellow cadets with respect, and will not abuse my rank.
I, will make sure I improve in my drill to be worthy to bear the SSG rank on my shoulders.
I, will continue to make sure that the Logistics Department will continue to operate smoothly, and will make sure that I will pass all my knowledge to my fellow sec 3s before I pass out.
-now here is where it gets crappy-
I, will continue to entertain my fellow cadets with my crazy antics, until I pass out.
I, will always stop insulting my SIs, and will always by grateful for them to give me the SSG rank.
I, will treat SI Renon and SI Tedmond to pao pao cha(Bubble tea) every day in thanks for my rank. If I have the money, I will buy them two.
I, will stop failing my E Maths and A Maths tests, and score a A1 for Mr Chia for my 'O' Levels.
If I do not follow this pledge that I swear to all now, I will be stripped off my SSG rank and will be reduce to a private rank.
If I were to break any rules set now, I will treat everyone here to pao pao cha.
I, hereby ask everyone here, to be my witness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could not stop laughing the whole time...

...And even though Juliyana also got the Staff Sergeant rank, she did not even need to do anything...

But anyway, congrats to Kiwi and Juliyana for obtaining the SSG rank.

Anyway, for those who are curious about my tooth treatment, my parents already decided on root canal treatment... so whatever I had said was totally useless...

P.S. I've created a new blog specifically for my drawings (URL under Misc.). Please do visit if you have the time. I will still upload any of my new pictures here so no needed to worry
*Be warned that I did not upload all of my previous drawings as I have lost some when my computer crashed a few months ago.... And it also does not have the 4-panel comics you see here on this blog...

'till next time!

2009-06-01T22:29:00.004+08:00

This is the worst holiday of my entire life...

I was supposed to go to the polyclinic, but the waiting list was until October...

SO... Today I went to visit the private dentist as my right molar kept hurt me. At first I just thought that the filling had fell out, however to my utmost horror the dentist told me that my molar had decayed to the point of NO TOMMORROW - the decay had hit my nerve endings.

There were only two things that can be done:

1) The "get-the-bloody-thing-over-and-done-with" method
-Extract the tooth and hope I grow a wisdom tooth to replace the infected one. (50% of the people grow wisdom teeth)
Cost: S$30
Effect: Intense pain for two to three days under medication.

2) The "save-that-damn-tooth-at-ALL-COSTS" method
-Go for Root Canal treatment. (Remove nerves from decaying tooth and 'preserve' it)
Cost: S$1000 plus; Not to mention regular maintainance every 6 months
Effect: Spend my entire holiday going to and fro from the private clinic and every 6 months maintaining the dead tooth.
OR
Spend 3 months plus waiting for a dental appointment under MOH on the long agonising waiting list in the midst of studying for 'O' levels and every 6 months maintaining the dead tooth.

Considering all this, I had initially wanted to just pluck the tooth out of my mouth, but then the dentist asked me go home to discuss with my parents. However, they said that I should try to save my tooth anyway since I'm still 16...

Why can't I just extract the tooth and get it over and done with?! It'll save me the trouble...

But, as stubborn as my parents are, once they are decided I can never change their minds...

Anyway, as Eng Hoong had requested (I wasn't intending to put it up so soon but...), this is the picture of Kuran(Cross) Yuuki from Vampire Knight that I had drawn quite recently...

Please, as usual, rate using scale 1-10!

BTW remedial classes PLUS contigent training start tommorrow...

And hell starts from there...

'till next time!

2009-05-29T22:41:00.002+08:00

I have good news and bad news!

The good news is that it is now the June Holidays!
The bad news is that it ISN'T a holiday for Sec 4s!

TO top it off, my CCA with only OFFICIALLY ended in JULY (since POP is IN july)!!!

At the rate I am going, I not even sure if I'll graduate...

Anyway, Wednesday was contigent training as usual. the only thing that was somewhat MEMORABLE was the prank we pulled on Kiwi - we locked him inside the NPCC room twice...

Illustration below...
(Tamaki - Kiwi; Haruhi - Me; Hikaru&Kaoru - Pak Hon & Teng Han; Mori - Renon)

*NOTE: The characters below are used ONLY for the pure thought of reineracting that particular time. There is ABSOLUTELY NO LINK between the relationship of the original characters and the few people represented in this comic strip.

We let him out in the end...

Call me evil if you want, but I still find it funny until now...

Teng Han even suggested locking him inside NPCC room during POP... but we'll of course have our limitations.

Well, better get on with my "holiday homework"...

'till next time!

2009-05-24T10:40:00.003+08:00

Was reading Eng Hoong's blog just now on periodic table, and I suddenly remebered what I was discussing with my father a week before...

PERIODIC PEOPLE REPRESENTATION!!!
(basically it is using the periodic table to represent people)

I was laughing all the way when my father told me this~!
This is an easy way for those people who have trouble memorising the periodic table... not that I had used it before...

*NOTE: If too offensive, please feel free to navigate away from this page! Some bio terms may also be used here...

SO let's get started!

1) Metals are "guys", Non-metals are "girls"
Explaination: Guys are tough, and tend to be loners;
Girls are soft, and tend to form pairs or groups.

2) Metals which exhibits non-metal properties(Group I) are "sissy"
Explaination: Guys who have girl's personality.

3) Non-metals which exhibits metallic properties(Metalliods) are "tomboys"
Explaination: Girl's who have guy's personality.

4) Group 0 elements are "solitary"
Explaination: They tend to be alone and do not form bonds.

5) When metals form bonds with non-metals(ionic bonding), they have high melting point
Explaination: When a guy and a girl gets into a relationship, it's hard to break them apart.

6) When non-metals form bonds among themselves(covalent bonding), they have low melting point
Explaination: Girls break apart as easily as they gather in groups; They are easy-going.

7) Transition metals are "interesting people"
Explaination: They exhibits colour when forming bonds with non-metals.

8) Amphoteric elements and Hydrogen are "bisexual"
Explaination: They can form bonds with metals and non-metals.

9) When a more reactive metal is mixed with a salt of a less reactive metal, the less reactive metal will be displaced
Explaination: When a more attractive guy comes along, the girl runs off to him.

10) When a more reactive halogen is mixed with an aqueous solution of a less reactive halogen, the less reactive halogen is displaced
Explaination: When a more attractive girl comes along, the guy runs off to her.

11)When an acid is mixed with an alkaline, salt and water is formed
Explaination: Half of father's chromosomes and half of mother's chromsomes produce an offspring.

Basically, these are all the things that I had discussed with my father... If you have any more to add on, please feel free to tag on my tagboard (but make sure it is not too offensive)...

'till next time!

2009-05-23T22:01:00.004+08:00

EL: B4
HCL: C6 (just barely)
E Maths: A1
A Maths: B3
Chem: A1
Phys: A2 (result of light-headedness)
Bio: B4 (murdered mercilessly)
Elec. Hist: B3 (quite happy, but got depressed when I looked at SBQ)

I had to wear the ridiculously stupid plaster on Friday AGAIN... Recieved many comments...
(light blue= people's comment; italics= my replies)

Nusrat: Wearing that again?
Me: ... yeah...

PohYin: What happened to your nose?
Me: Got cut...
PohYin: Looks as though you got into a fight...
Me: I DON"T FIGHT!!!

Sebastian: What happened to your eye?
Me: The plaster is on my nose...

And the most exclusively stupid one of all:
(Made them in different colours for better reading)

Kiwi: What happened to your nose?
Me: Got cut...
Kiwi: Why?
Me: What do you mean 'why'? You think wearing plasters are fun?
PakHon: Ah yah~ Kiwi jealous lah...
TengHan: Perverted mind think plasters are cool...
Kiwi: Well, it's very obvious, isn't it?
Me: I have many more plasters in my bag...
TengHan: Yeah! Let's give it to him!
Me: Yeah. Then let's see whether wearing plasters are fun~!
[faked hitting...][laughter in background]

*NOTE: No one was really hurt in the process, so no worries...

Next week Monday have combined contigent practise, Tuesday have safety shoot, Wednesday have Unit Training... Wah~!

Ah~ I better get on with my homework...

'till next time!

2009-05-15T19:43:00.003+08:00

Today was hell...

Got back Physics, Chem and Bio P1... But accidentally left them in school and I've forgotten my marks...
Also got back E Maths P1, P2 and A Maths P1, but Mr Chia collected back and I've also forgotten my marks...
...
Talk about being forgetful...

In the afternoon was NPCC contigent training. Somehow I only remembered (I forgotten during the exam period) that Renon got promoted to SI... And since it was 3 weeks since we had training, my body still felt very retarded, so the intensive drill training cause my feet to be covered in blisters...

The only good news is that I don't have to wear a plaster on my nose already after training...!

Yah!

'till next time!

2009-05-14T21:37:00.003+08:00

Bio paper ended today, but I was not able to finish the paper...
I did not even see the last page!!! 10 marks gone!!!

And to make things worse is that tommorrow is the start of the actual training for the "10 year anniversary parade"... Somehow, I keep wondering why we sec 4s are still involved...

Oh, and today I still had to wear a plaster on my face... I just wore a smaller one which is not easily noticed, though some people noticed right away... UNFORTUNATELY... I ran out of small plasters today, so went to buy some at Jurong Point... But I got lost half-way and could not find the store, so I ended up travelling to West Mall. Saw Hwee Chek at Bukit Batok MRT station, and she already changed!!! UNFORTUNATELY(again)... they only sold medium size plasters. Guess I have to go to school tommorrow with a larger (and more obvious) plaster on my face... not to mention that I have NPCC after school...

Well, I have to go off to prepare my uniform now, even though I just came back from my A maths tuition like 10 mins ago... Talk about busy...

'till next time!

2009-05-13T17:02:00.002+08:00

Tommorrow's Bio paper, and also my last paper!

Hi. Came to blog before going for my routine exercise...

Seems that staying at home to study bio was a little boring, even though there are many chapters that I have yet to completely revise... At this rate I'm gonna fail...

Anyway, this morning was quite shocking for me. You see, although I have been using new spectacles for the past 1 month, I still not accustomed to it, therefore a wound started to develop on the bridge of my nose...

However, the scenario isn't quite normal, as it seems...
(Haruhi- Me; Tamaki-My Dad)

Tamaki's personality reslly reminds me of my dad's childish side, which is probably why I have a childish side too...

Then again, this morning, the wound on the bridge of my nose suddenly opened...

As such, I am forced to wear a plaster on my nose... This feels weird...

Well, as long as I don't have to wear it to school tommorrow, it's fine...

'til next time!

2009-05-11T20:53:00.002+08:00

felt very bored... so changed blogskin to the current online manga I'm reading:

Ouran High School Host Club.

Spent an hour making it with many reference from other internet sources...

Tommorrow got Physics exams and Biology SPA, so going to sleep early...

'till end of Mid-year's...!

2009-05-09T19:57:00.002+08:00

Okay, I'm bored again...

This week was totally full of examinations, every day we have to sit for an average of two papers... Contrasting subjects to boot!

I was so stressed by Friday that I started jamming the keyboard in StepMania... I usually play light songs, but I was pretty restless, so I went onto Standard... Surprisingly, I could get most of them as As and Bs, since I usually get Cs and Ds.

Anyway, Thursday was NPCC Day. We were supposed to report at the parade square in Full-U by 7.00am, but when I got there the parade square was deserted... I felt rather pathetic, seeing many other cadets not wearing the NPCC uniform and just walking to their class as if they were not part of the CCA.

Mr Teo, the teacher-in-charge for CCAs, also announced that we got Silver for 2008... I felt as if our efforts went down the drain, especially when I placed so much emphasis on my CCA that my class ranking fell to bottom 2. What made it worse was Mdm Oen's 'speech', quoting exact words here...
*Note: words in italics are sacrastic by tone, words in bold are emphasis, and words in red are grammatically wrong...
"...I am very happy to see that our NPCC has sustained itself and got Silver for the fourth time. I hope that the NPCC cadets can work even more harder to get a Gold for this year, and join up with the other Uniform Groups..."

...Seriously, this pisses me off...

Oh yes, there were a few people(I forgotten who) that wanted to see what I gave Nusrat on her 16th Birthday... It was a miniature size Venetian mask. (reference from S.S. textbook)
(picture below)

And it's also been quite some time since I posted any pictures, so I'm posting one of my lastest drawings, even though it was drawn one and a half month ago... (previous pictures can be accessed by the archives)
I haven't been able to type this phrase for a very long time, but anyways...
RATE MY DRAWING!!!(Scale of 1-10 as usual)

I will probably tag by next week, as my MYE ends then, and then probably I'll have more interesting things to talk about...

'till next time...

Mid Year's killing me...

Hi... Too bored to do anymore studying...
Since I'm here, might as well update on a few things... Sorry for any english grammar mistakes following suit, 'cause i'm too tired to bother...

Wednesday: English paper... Three words-Die Straight Forward!

Thursday: Higher Chinese paper... Four words-It Is The End!

Following after that was chemistry remedial, so had lunch in school before lesson started...

...however, only the muslim food stall and drink stall was open... so...

I ended up eating spicy food...

I Have low tolerance on any spicy food, so it was perpetually torture for me to eat my lunch.(TO ALL CHILLI LOVERS OUT THERE! I SALUTE YOU!)

Even though I had bought a bottle of 100plus as a precaution, I still ended up unable to finish my lunch... 'cause I ran out of 100plus...

*sobs... I'm so sorry~! I failed...

Then after chem, went to shop for Sawyi's present...

Following after, I went for my Amaths tuition. Finished the entire worksheet 20 minutes before lesson ended... Mr Chia's questions are way more interesting...

Friday: Woke up late, went swimming pool in the late afternoon.

I could not swim, so I just held my kickboard and continuously kicked in the water non-stop for (insert-number-here-but-forgot-the-number) laps for an hour to train up my leg muscles. However, after an hour, my legs started to itch from the chlorine, so I had to stop... Not only are my taste buds sensitive, but my skin is too... what a drag...

Then went to IMM for Lunch at the Kopitiam.

After lunch then came back home to study... again...

Saturday: Woke up late again, attended morning tuition, break, another tuition and now waiting for lunch...

After this is a non-stop train of tuitions until 6pm... sian ah...!

And that's all I'm going to say...

Got to go...

See you after mid-year, or if I'm bored again..

2009-04-19T16:30:00.006+08:00

Okay, this post is redundant, but I don't feel like doing anything else...

So just for fun, I am going to state 11 things about myself... Some you probably know and some you probably don't.

1) I tend to be very strict.
-Okay, some people may not know this, but I have NEVER scolded a single vulgarity in my entire life. What can you expect from someone who comes from a super strict background? I am very lenient to those whom I am not close to, but for people whom I am very familar with usually gets hit (depends on the severity) by me when they were to speak something bad... Nusrat and Jia Yin are live evidence. If you still don't believe that I am strict, then why do you think I love NPCC so much?

2) I listen to Japanese songs
-To start off, I AM NOT JAPANESE AND DO NOT INTEND TO BE ONE. I do listen to English songs... I only listen to certain japanese song if their song is catchy, the rhythm is nice, or the lyrics are meaningful (not that I know every single meaning of each song). But the one thing in common with the Japanese songs I listen to is that they are all Anime Theme songs/songs played inside a certain episode of an anime.

3) I LOVE ANIME!!!
-Yes, you should have guessed it from my 2nd point. I love anime! Introduced by my cousin Kai Li (whom I usually refer to as Kai since he tends to like acting Japanese), my passion for anime has grown quite a large amount, so much so that my parents are nagging at me to refrain from animes since this year is my "O" Level year...

4) I LOVE MANGA TOO!!!
-Not so obvious as the first one, but I started reading manga WAY before I started watching anime... My manga collection is quite small compared to hard-core collectors, so I read most mangas online. I have read more manga than I have watched animes... Haha! The types of manga I read are horror, adventure, sci-fic, mystery, gender bending, and MOSTLY COMEDY manga.

5) I detest anything related to >ROMANCE<
-VERY OBVIOUS!!! Even down to anime and manga, I tend to skip any romance scenes. Reason being: I am unable to intepret any love which falls outside the "family-and-friends" catagory. NO JOKE!!! My parents keep saying that at the rate I am going, I am not going to get a boyfriend, which is currently none of my concern at this point in time. Somehow, this is also one of the reasons why I get very emotional when someone says a rumor about me liking someone, when in the first place I do not even know what "love" is...

6) I have two personalities: A child-like personality and a serious mature one.
-At home, I have to take up the role of "An elder sister" to care for my younger brother and cousins. I am also most of the time very serious when it comes to work or CCA. But I tend to let lose and be like a small emotional kid once in a while, with close friends. Maybe because I never had a proper childhood, since I only knew my parents at the same time I became a sister, that I still cling onto my child-side. Ironically, I hate people calling me "cute" due to my child-like personality.

7) I love to read novels.
-Aside from manga, I read novels too. The REALLY THICK ONES! It's really ironic, since most people who love novels hate comics, and most people who love comics hate novels. But hey, isn't my life already ironic enough?

8) I am blind without spectacles
-To express how blind I am, I can very easily tell you that the below text will not even be in my field of focus:

without my spectacles, this line will only seem to me as one straight line without any bumps...

I truly envy those who don't require high index lens. I envy those who have perfect eyesight even more.

9) I am unable to interact well, and I don't handle feelings well.
-No surprise for someone who was anti-social and obivious throughout the whole of my primary school life. I bet none of my primary school classmates even knew I existed. This was why I did not open up in my first year of secondary school life. I truly thank those that helped me opened up. However, as I lacked interaction, I am, even until now, find it hard to grasp emotion.

10) I am "old-fashioned"
-Ask me a recent popstar's name, and I say I don't know; Ask me the latest trend, and I say I only wear T-shirt and bumudas; SMS me with all the short forms, and I send you a reply message asking for a translation.
Even my own mother is more "hip"-or-whatever-you-call-it than me! I don't go out, i don't hang out, i don't go to concerts... the list is endless... But still, even when it goes to the extend of my own parents calling me "auntie", I will love the way I am and appreciate it!

11) I am naive and innocent.
-If you have told me a very convincing story of breeding a special monkey with 23 pairs of chromosomes which will create a new species of "human-apes", I would probably believe it.
I trust people too much, and I don't understand a single dirty joke others say. Even my own parents think that I'm weird since I am not rebellious like the other teenages...
~is there anything more to elaborate on this point...?

Well, that's all the 11 points I promised, and the next time I tag will most likely be during June Holidays...

And if you are wondering why do I type 11 points rather than the usual 10...
...
'cause I'm different!

'til next time!

2009-04-18T23:21:00.014+08:00

Hi There! I am so sorry for not tagging for so long...

Some how the only reason I had the urge to tag again was because of my overflowing tagboard...

I have been spending the rest of my time either eating, sleeping, bathing or doing homework.
You really should see the pile...

Anyway, there was a certain incident that happened on Friday which I probably think the person is still upset about but I feel that I must relay out. Words are unable to decribe this event, but I also have limited time... So to facilitate this (and also to save the person from embarassment), I used some of the pictures from my current anime theme to help convey what I want to say. All scenes were copied and editted by 85% from many various sources, so can you imagine the time needed to make these...?

Enjoy!

*Take note that although I did emphasis a few points, 90% of the things in the comic strip are real...

(click to make it bigger)

Since I am even able to make a joke out of this, you should know that I did not take this incident to heart. So if the person reading this is the person that is still saying sorry, I would like to repear myself one more time - I AM OKAY WITH IT!!!

MYE is coming real soon, so probably I will tag again by June Holidays... wow talk about busy...

Oh yes, and since ZiQun's Birthday is just next week, I will like to take the chance to wish her Happy Birthday in advance.

'til next time...

2009-03-22T19:44:00.003+08:00

We had NPCC training on Friday.

Reported to school at 7.15am. Changed into Full U and chased the sec 1s/2s into doing things on time... But we were still late in the end...
Muster Parade. Sir let me, Darren, Tedmond and Renon to hold Drill cane. But halfway through the parade during pledge-taking I did the wrong command... Wah! I messed up BIG TIME!!!
After Muster Parade, me and my partner Derwin were told to take the Sec 2s squad instead of my usual Sec 1s. Although I was disappointed at first, it was compensated with how easy it was to give the sec 2 orders. Not that I hate my sec 1s...
But there were still some sec 2s that were lagging behind the others, so I had to drag them out to teach them slowly.
...
Now let me make myself clear: I DID NOT SCOLD ANYONE!!! The only person I had got angry at in my 16 years of existence is my brother when he went over-board. (And I was just venting 5% of my anger at that time)
But still, one of the sec 2 cadets started crying, and from the point of view of the other cadets (and probably the red cross too), it looked as if I was bullying the cadet!!! In the end, I had to ask Sir to help me calm the cadet down since I cannot handle people emotions well myself...
Later on in the training, we gave the sec 2 cadets a challenge: to stand 5 meters away from the sec 2 squad and give commands. It builds up both confidence and the ability to portray the person's voice. But, as expected, many were not exactly confident in giving their command, and it often came out very soft. Not bad... considering that I freaked out and was not able to say anything during my time in sec 2...
Nothing much interesting later on, and many of the sec 1s were misbehaving again... It may be the only time I am saying this, but I was really glad that Tedmond was there to control their discipline.
I was adviced to be strict... So I have to try harder next time... considering that I am very lenient for a sec 4...

School starts tommorrow... Stress levels are going to go way HIGH this time...!

'till next time!

P.S. I designed this blogskin myself by using a template... Considering how much time and trouble I spent in order to make this, I think I'm going to stick back to pre-designed skins...

2009-03-16T21:13:00.010+08:00

I gonna tag about my HRC experience in Pulau Ubin...

Okay fine... not much to talk about after I freaked out in the middle of the activity... Left me in a state of shock for about 15 minutes... Guess up till now I still cannot break from my fear of heights... ... I missed out in so much fun, especially the flying fox(which I also freaked out while climbing up the stairs on a smaller scale). They look so much fun, yet terrifying at the same time...

Why am I not afraid of normal things like corpse and blood but rather HEIGHTS?!?!?!

Thanks to Yuni, Syairah, Juliyana, Claudia, Mr Ng, You Rui Sir and the Officers present in helping me get down when I freaked out and help me to cool down. Okay, the fuhua boys that went helped out too...

After the HRC course on the ride back, I took some photos. For memory sake...

Boat Captain... Very engrossed with his driving (or shipping)...

From Left, Darren, Syairah and Yuni! Sight-seeing!!!

Pak Hon! Sleep somemore!!!

The next off Pulau Ubin after ours. Hi There!!!

Pulau Ubin! I'll miss you!

YO Juli! Wads up!!

Port from Singapore to Pulau Ubin. Last time I'll be seeing this. Unless I become CI...

'till next time!

2009-03-09T22:32:00.006+08:00

HI! I'm back from my grandparents house...!

Well, it felt quite weird to stay in my grandparents house for 3 consequetive nights, but it was quite comfortable, despite no internet access there. It's like living in the late 1990s...

Anyway, today my mother screamed at my brother for his english marks... 35/95... and after that suddenly broke down into tears!!! I was not exactly sure as I was in the other room eating fruits (the crying part lah... the scream who cannot hear...?) And I only exited the room UNKNOWINGLY AFTER mum cried... And to tell you the truth, I was no really able to sense that my mum was upset... You must be thinking, am I really a girl?

However, it was only after I was informed by my father that I really noticed. I SERIOUSLY CANNOT TELL!!! When I looked at her the second time, shivers perpetually ran down my spine... It was like as if she was emitted a dark aura around her (I cannot think of anything to describe her)... And somehow I feel that this could beat any horror movie hands down...

Ah... you still don't get it, right?

Okay... just to make it better to understand, look below AND interpret it in human form...

Get what I mean now?

I should really NOT get on her nerves and incur her wrath...

Oh, and we also got our class tee today!

However, when I showed it to my aunt, the only thing she said was...

"The statement 'i Love my class'is dorky..." XP

Until next time...!

2009-03-06T20:55:00.002+08:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!
......................................................
(screams for over a minute...)
......................................................
......................................................

Okay, back to homework...

Hi! As you can see, I have finally finished my exams! YAY! However, I have tons of homework... ...

So due to the huge load of post-exams homework, my parents decided to leave me in Singapore so that I can complete my homework, which is ironically the first thing this week which I actually like. C'mon... I've already been to Malacca 6 times...
So I'll be staying in Singapore...

Anyway, I did lower than average for the exams this time round... I have to catch up!!!
These are the results I have got back...

EL: -censored- you see my marks and you'll die straight forward...
E Maths: 34/50
A Maths: 34/50 (de-javu)
Bio: 38.5/50

If my other subjects are just as lousy, I might just die straight forward... when my parents see my report book...

will post next week since my grandma's house no internet...

'till next time

2009-02-28T21:46:00.003+08:00

Exams... I'm getting extremely frustrated leh...
Don't know who came up with the stupid idea of putting 2 exams on 1 day?

Now stressing like hell over Monday's SS and Bio...!

What's more... My parents were watching movie on the DVD... resulting my anime to not be recorded...! ARGH!!! I listened to my parents and not watch any anime during exam period, ending up with missing the episode! (gets so pissed 'till start hitting my head on the nearby wall...)

While waiting for me to cool down... pictures!

Birthday card from Mr Chia and Mr Yeo!!! I'm so happy!

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... From Hwee Hien... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Dinosaur egg?

Inside have NERDS??!!!

Haha! I really like Hwee Hien's present! It's really nice... (but somehow I like the egg more than its contents...)

My bro even went on to say that Hwee Hien laid that egg for me... 'cause we're born in the year of the chicken...

Anyway, I just remembered that on Friday, My Yeo came to chase after me due to my OUTSTANDING DEBT(EDUSAVE). Well, it's not that I did not inform my parents, it's just that they were so stubborn that they rather believe a letter than me... Black and white they said... In the end, I had to request Mr Yeo to help me write a letter... oh sure, my words aren't worth believing unless there's evidence...
(getting pissed again... hole in the wall getting bigger...)

Well, until next time!

2009-02-22T14:15:00.002+08:00

Oh yeah forgot about Amanda's dedicated post... SO SORRY!!!

haha now i have a post for thanking Amanda(since i forgot to add it in yesterday...)

THANK YOU AMANDA!!! (wanted to make it bigger but this is the maximum already...)

I will probably post again around 7 march... Bye until then...

2009-02-21T23:04:00.002+08:00

Wah! It's been SUPER LONG since I last posted!

Hi Everyone! Thank you to all those that remember my Birthday!!! Since most people(including my own family members) forgets... (For those who don't know, it was on the 19th...)

Anyway I like to thank Claudia for the card and the Lollipop, Nusrat for her ladybird and chocolate ferrero rocher, Poh Yin for the two Time-outs and her very long and a bit irritating string of "Happy Belated Birthdays", Miss J.Chan for the Little miss Sunshine (seriously did not know what it was until Benson/Sawyi told me), my grandparents (who were the only family members that remembered) for the delicious bowl of mee-suaw with two extra eggs on top...
And everyone else who had wished me happy birthday!!!

Common Test is coming up next week, so my blog will be very dead until the end of the exams...

Everyone, GAMBATE and GOOD LUCK!!!

2009-02-08T18:23:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone! It's been SO LONG since I tagged! The tagboard is flooding!!!!

So sorry... I was attending the Super-teen workshop last week and there were so many test this week... AH! I'm starting to miss Sec 3 life...

Another things is that I'm sick(again)... Guess I was too stressed again...
Cough+Blocked nose+Hoarse voice+Sore throat+Fever= 1 extremely sick Mun Teng...

Anyway first of all, next wednesday is Total Defence Day, and I'm predicting that we have to wear our UG uniforms the whole day AGAIN... Imagine running around the parade square in UG uniform during P.E. ....... No comments here.

Then I have my SI interview next monday.... SO NERVOUS..... I hope I am well enough to attend it by then!

And my aunt, who is the teacher-in-charge for the Bio symposium competition, told me that fuhua got into the finals, which is next friday! No, I cannot teach my sec 1s again...('cause yesterday I lost my voice) :I took a picture of Allen Walker(D. Gray Man) and made him in his noah form [The Musician]. (Made out of pure imagination and with reference to Tyki Mikk).

Those that find it totally unacceptable can feel free to press the red button on the top left hand corner of the screen...

'til next time!

2009-01-23T22:38:00.002+08:00

Wah!!! ~now very pissed off...

It's been a while since I tagged... You really should see the amount of homework pilling on my table for the "holidays"... If I add in my tuition homework... die liao lah~

Today classbonding was FUN! I wish we could do this another time, with the CO members around the next time... the class seemed extremely small without them...

Then we went to the hall for CNY celebrations. Surprisingly, I did not felt as bored as in the previous three years... Probably it's because this is my last year in Fuhua?

Then during prize-giving, I got first prize in the CNY card making competition! Although I'm happy I won, I am pissed of with two things:
1) They pronounced my name wrongly...
2) The trophy was falling apart...

Right now had to use super glue to glue it back together... ...

Reached home to find my annoying cousin pestering me to duel with him every minute. After two hours of NON-STOP DISTURBANCE, I finally agreed to duel with him... He beat me twice. Okay... so I used my louser deck ON PURPOSE so he would just shut up, but after that he kept going on saying that he is more superior! Go on some more and I'll use Bombazaar to finish you off 5 times straight!!!

And before I forget, I've got a B3 in my 'O' level normal chinese last year! YAY~! (considered very good compared to my normal standards...)

Well, I'm off to watch my anime at 2300. Bye~!

2009-01-15T22:27:00.006+08:00

Today is a weird day...

To start off, let me say that tommorrow's (NP) training is totally in PT kit! Yay!!! With water games! More Yays!!!

So... back to school life...

Came to school with a pin in my hair(which I don't normally do) 'cause I found my fringe irritating me while I study, which created a hell-lot-of response from my classmates... remind me why am I doing this again???

Then had our first official P.E. lesson... Stretching exercises was tiring, and I hate it when it lasts more that 8 counts! After what seemed like an eternity, we played a game, which the objective was for 1 team to knock down the cones and the other to put them back up. I was on the second team, and in the end we lost. As punishment(oh boy, the teacher must be loving this...), we had to run around the parade square 3 times, even though we already did our running during the game itself... Wah! So tired... Tommorrow got P.E. again... ARGH!!!

Rest of the lesson were as per normal...

After school walked to the bus stop with Jia Yin, Nusrat and Ze Ling (with friend whom I don't recognise). Jia Yin kept walking and adding "a******" in her sentences. By the 15th sentence, I banged her bag(Lightly!) with my book and told her not to repeat that word again... As a result, it started a rain of "a******"... not to mention other meaner vulgarities... Seriously, I cannot STAND VULGARITIES!!!

When I went for tuition at night, I saw Mr Clement Yew(Sec 2 science teacher) at the tuition centre... Wow, I still can remember his full name after he left school 2 years ago... Intended to say hi to him when he just walked past without noticing me!!! Probably it's because he hasn't been with us for two years some he might have not been able to recognise his former student, but still to think he was that forgetful... ...

As of right now, what I am furious about is of the school system... The school actually gave the student leaders "model answers" for them to answer the external validators, which in this case are the MOE officials... How can they do something like that?! This definetely contradicts our school value "intergrity"...

Too pissed off to type anymore... will tag again when I'm in a better mood...

2009-01-10T12:19:00.002+08:00

First of all, I felt like I was going to die yesterday...

'cause my lesson end at 2.30pm, right after HCL, I stuffed my belongings into my bag and ran straight for the toilet to get changed. After coming out (met Derwin on my way to the parade square as his lesson also ends at 2.30pm), realised that the sec 4 squad was the only squad not having drills... Felt very weird when we were not doing anything, which was about 10 mins before Renon(DC) came to give us orders... But it was due to the fact that he had to take up ALL(and I mean all) the punishment for every mistake the unit makes... Poor Renon... But somehow at the side, I could feel that Tedmond was pretty pissed off as he probably wanted that role... But somehow I have the feeling that having Tedmond to be DC will not a very wise move...

Anyhow, around 3pm, Sir asked me to take squad to teach them (sorry if I spell wrongly) daliek senjahta and bimbit senjahta... In the end, I had to take the squad for 3 hours... Will be doing this very often when sec 1s come in...

As the rest of the training isn't something good to talk about I'll end my post here...

By the way, I recently bought Naruto 44! But those who have watch the anime, DON'T SPOIL THE STORY FOR ME!!! I hate spoilers...

'Till next time!

2009-01-03T22:40:00.002+08:00

Ah! Today was CCA day!

Reached school in the morning and saw Renon with a head injury... OMG! It looks painful... but somehow I don't know why someone could still laugh...

Then during uniform inspection, I see most of the Sec 2s never iron their uniform/ season their barry/ polish their boots... But when I ask them they say they already done it liao... If it wasn't for Juliyana, I wouldn't have known how to react in that kind of situation... Thanks Juli!

When the Sec 1s came down, all hell broke loose... The entire canteen became as noisy as a wet market... ARGH! I'm going deaf!!! It seems that the Sec 2s love to catch the Sec 1s though... (cause that was the exact same thing that happened to them last year, haha...)

After all that, I rushed back home for wash up and Lunch before rushing(again) for Tuition...

Then, after tuition, I had the worst nightmare of my life come true! My parents enrolled me for TWO MORE TUITIONS!!! That makes it five now! English, Higher Chinese, A Maths, Physics and Chemistry... WAH!!! At this rate I'm going to die before I even sit for my 'O' Levels this year...

Ahh... Going to sleep 'cause very tired liao... Tommorrow wake up still got what CC walkathon, must wake up at 6am... *sigh Sec 4 is very tiring...

2008-12-31T11:39:00.006+08:00

YO everyone!謹賀新年(きんがしんねん)Happy New Year!

Erm... well not exactly but anyway... It's the last day of 2008!

Wah! Another 2 more days to school reopen, 2 more days to my next chinese tuition, 2 more days to extreme pressure, but 2 more days to seeing my classmates again! At least there is something to look forward to...

Oh. Forgot to mention that 3 days later is CCA day... Ah! But at least I'm not in charge anymore...'cause i'm sec 4 le...

Well, time for me to head back to studying(again) and hope I can even make it to the reopening of school on Friday...

And remember the picture from the previous post?

I've coloured it...

...And this is the outcome when I added water to the watercolour pencils... quite crumpled as I added a little too much water...

Rate my picture! Scale from 1-10 as usual.(wow, very long never type this phrase liao...)

See everyone on th 02/01/2009!

2008-12-28T21:28:00.004+08:00

Hi everyone! Merry belated Christmas!

Ah! Now rushing to finish my home work before school reopens...!

...'cause I am always distracted with other things...!

And as I cannot think of anything else to say... Pictures!

I finally put together the pieces... Took me 3hrs and 47 mins and lots of patience...

The outcome of my desk...

My christmas present... A bit blur though...

Came up with this during the christmas celebration as it was boring... went over it with pen...

Now in the process of colouring... but I hope I will not turn up like the previous disaster...

Ah... Tommorrow got training so I better go sleep now...

おやすみなさい!

2008-12-21T22:13:00.014+08:00

こんばんは! *cough cough...

I fell ill during the trip to Malaysia, so I'm not feeling very good right now, and I did not really enjoy the trip... ...

First of all, this is the answer to where the racoon was hidden in the christmas tree.

Hi once again! Today is one hell-of aday!

First in the morning, I had the last day of the NCO refreshment/ Mentoring Course. Finally after so long I got my Staff sergent rank and my 6 badges. AH! Get all at one go... The badges almost fell out of my hand...! YEAH! Very happy mood now!

Then in the afternoon, I had tuition. Very tired, so very hard to concentrate... Got scolded for not completing homework... *Yawn... Too tired to really care, but later got pretty depressed...

Later in the evening, my cousin who have just came back from beijing gave me a D. Gray Man VCD (ep. 1-24). WOW! But I still would have preferred the later episode though... Anyway I still very happy! Even manage to brighten up my day by 99.9%!

At night, I have to type the attendance out in soft-copy, but my mother keep making me run all over the place to help her pack for tommorrow's trip(Malaysia)... What's more she ask me really obvious things/things that only she knows...
(e.g. Where's your popular card? You borrowed it and haven't return. How would I know?;
Where's the printing paper? You're holding them...;
Where's the Laptop computer bag? Beside it...
... ... ... ...by the 3rd question , I'm already too fed up to remember what the other 14 questions were...) Not to mention, they asked me to pack anything I want to bring in a bag... But in the end I only brought 1/4 of the things I intended to bring 'cause they disapprove...(F.Y.I. the stuff I wanted to bring was only about a half-empty sling bag...)

Anyway, it's eleven plus already so I better go to bed... Somehow I have a gut feeling that the Malaysia trip is going to be bloody boring...

P.S. I can't upload the answer to the christmas tree questions as the picture is in the other computer. I will upload next time.

2008-12-13T11:44:00.002+08:00

Wow! Post within 24 hours! New record!

Anyway I went to cut my hair today as I have a CCA course to attend next week. My aunt came along with me to "supervise" my hair. In the end, the outcome of my haircut was kinda weird... Why? Well, most of the time when I cut my hair, it always takes up a boyish hair style. But this hairstyle, although still very short, but there is a little feminine side to it (maybe because of my long fringe).

Ah well... never mind.

Oh yes I forgot to up load this picture yesterday...

This was the christmas tree that we set up last night. I had to use a chir to reach the top of the tree to put the star.

While you're looking at the tree, try and spot the racoon!(answer in next post!)

I'm off for my next tuition so...

...さようなら!

こんばんは(konbanha)Good evening[can be use at night too]!

It's really been 12 days... wow...(monotone)

Rushing through my homework (school, tuition and parent-given assignments)... I rarely have any free time left... And school is reopening soon! AH!

Anyway, next week will be my busiest week, with the entire shedule packed with my CCA's NCO course, tuition and ,once again, more assessments due to my sec 4 cousin dumping all his assessment books to me... Ah...! School haven't reopen yet and I'm already stressing!!!

So most probably you will think that I will post again in 13 days? Which is christmas?

ヒ(hi)WRONG!

...'cause it clashes with some of my family matters, so I will also be busy on the 25th and 26th, which means that I cannot attend the 26th CCA training. Ah! So much for my perfect attendance...

And now PICTURES!!!

My bro added kneadeable eraser to his lego piece... Haha...

Can you see any resemblence to a certain anime character...? No right...?

Well, me neither...

In the end, my bro said that it was Allen walker from D Gray Man...

This was actually drawn on a A3 size paper, so you can expect it to be quite big.

And if you are wonder why the paper is crumpled... Well, before I could take a picture of it, my cousin accidentally sat on it... Ah! My DRAWING!!!

Ah... It's getting late... I better go to bed now...

おやすみなさい(oyasuminasai )Good night[before going to bed]!

2008-11-30T22:12:00.004+08:00

Whoa! 11 days since last tagged! Maybe the next post will be 12 days later?!

Hello to all! Holidays are dreading day by day, as the amount of pressure that my parents put on me increases... They are reducing both my time on the television and the computer so fast that I probably have no time for either before Christmas even arrives... I did cut down on the time I use on the television and the computer. But do they realise? NOT AT ALL!!! They even accused me for playing the whole day, which is IMPOSSIBLE 'cause I pratically have to spend almost every waking moment either on homework, tuition or CCA!

What I really hate being 15 is that my parents refuse to accept that I like animes... They keep linking them with cartoons! FOR HOW MANY TIMES MUST I REPEAT?! ANIMES ARE NOT WHERE THE CHARACTERS RUN AROUND HITTING EACH OTHER ON THE HEAD! Animes are a form of animation. I don't know why do they think that animes are little childrens' entertainment... Some animes like "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni"(Horror anime which I like) isn't even suitable for children! I don't understand why they keep thinking animes are childish!

Well, my (computer) time is up, and I haven't have the time to draw anything new yet... so this is where I must end this post... I will try to post as soon as possible...(probably in the estimated 12 days...)

'till next time!

2008-11-19T20:35:00.002+08:00

Whoa! It's been ten days since I last posted... Any longer and this blog's dead!

So, how's the holidays? EXTREMELY BORING!!!!!

Everyday (with exception of fridays and last Saturday) is perceptually THE SAME!!!
Wake up, brush teeth, breakfast, homework, lunch, homework(if not tuition), bath, free time, dinner, more homework, brush teeth, sleep... And the process continues...

So everyday is living hell! I want to do something!(good and not morally wrong)

Luckily, I am able to spend some time everyday to draw, which at least prevents me from becoming insane...

Since I have nothing better to say... Pictures!
Painted picture of Lenalee from D-Gray Man(1st version of uniform). I painted with watercolour, but as the paint was old and dried, it ended up like poster colour. Yeah, Go Figure...
Came up with this recently... It was intended to be a "happy reunion" scene, but was instead mistaken to be a "sad torture" scene, with the guy in black as "the devil"... Well, you be the judge...

So anyway, ratings with scale 1-10 as usual...(And please when rating specify which picture you are refering to. It's confusing when their are more than one pictures)

'till next time...

2008-11-09T21:42:00.014+08:00

Today went to my other house to help my parents for the new tenants are moving in soon...(do not be surprised... the flat is quite small)

I haven't been there for 8 years already. It sure brings back memories...

Here are some of the pictures I took there...

Stop fooling around! We have a lot to do!

My empty previous room... Hey! My bed flew away!

My room's EVIL CLOSET OF DOOM!!!!! Used to think monsters lived in there... haha!

The kitchen... Tidier than my current house's kitchen...

Ohhhhhhhhhh......! My old lighter! It still works!

Eck! The refrigerator is dusty!!!

Parent's room. BIG!!!

The living room! AH! The sofa is gone too! And so is the TV!

My younger brother's room... NOTE: the ledge is for putting your bed, not a study table!!!

The backyard. The gate was left open?! And look how dead the garden is!!!

Oh this? That's my brother's broken watch... Broke when his watch got stuck at the shelf...

Ah... that's all the pictures...

Oh yeah! Open house is next week! Better get on with the planning... Bye!

2008-11-08T00:02:00.011+08:00

Wah! What have I landed myself into this time?!

Yesterday, I found out I was signed up in YET ANOTHER competition (not CCA by the way.) When I consulted the teacher-in-charge (who so happen to be my Biology teacher), she gave one whole pile of reasons which made me feel bad if I were to "resign"... As a result, I'm still on the team...

Anyway, had CCA in the afternoon (since the O levels are in the morning). After headstart, I went to photocopy my worksheet when I saw Aaron building the flagstaff. I ended up helping him do the flagstaff since NONE of the sec 1s would help out. What was even more frustrating was that the two people that usually make the whole building process twice as fast were in FULL UNIFORM, which meant that they were not allowed to help us. ARGH!
In the end, I had to skip lunch to settle the flagstaff and change into my CCA uniform.
As for training, well, it's about the same... With exception of the Physical Training, Debrief and teaching the Sec 1s the "suicide window".

Ah! I better get started on my homework... Bye!

P.S. I haven't been able to draw anthing for headstart, so in compentation I've uploaded this mini comic from "Monochrome Factor". If you do not find it humorous, feel free to press the red button on the top right corner. After all, I have a weird sense of humor...

2008-10-27T11:07:00.002+08:00

Ouch! My back still hurts!

Hi hi! Been sick since Friday night. How sick am I? I have headache, flu, sore throat, backache, high fever and my limbs feel weak. have been bedridden for more that 18 hours, and i am currently taking 4 types of medicines... I HATE BEING SICK!!!

After getting up at 7.20pm when my fever subsided, I turned on the TV to okto while I ate porridge again... To my surprise, D Gray Man and Azumanga Daioh was being replayed. Yah! That really brightened up my day! Sadly, I only managed to catch the last 2 minutes of the first episode of D Gray Man! Argh! I should have woken up earlier!

Well, I will end my post here then. Hope I get better by tomorrow. Sayanara!

2008-10-21T13:15:00.003+08:00

First day of E-learning... sian... Left only Bio, Chem and SS.

Today is just not my day. First, I woke up with a terrible headache, then came to school at 8 to find that the computer lab is still not open, cannot understand maths and EVEN failed!(I intended to re-do, but pressed the wrong button...) To top it off, Yuqing and gang HAD to copy the answer key from my account, and do their quiz... However, since questions are not in order, they get wrong is serve them right!

Going home for lunch. Bye.

2008-10-17T20:52:00.003+08:00

Ah! I got back my results... They are so low my parents went nuts!

EL: -haven't confirmed yet-
HCL: 54.5% (but year overall still fail)
E Maths: 67%
A Maths: -CENSORED- (SO Bad that you will die straight forward, follow?)
Chemistry: 84% (My best results among the others; My aunt-teaches chem-was so proud)
Biology: 79% (My hardwork paid off)
Physics: 68% (The paper was hard, but they never listen...)
Social Studies: 50% (cannot be bothered)
Elective History: 54% (study for 5 days straight and still so low)

When my parents looked at my papers, the expression on their faces were like shown below.

AH! Let's not continue on this subject can?

TODAY WAS THE FINALS FOR THE INTER-AREA PROJECT BASED COMPETITION! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
AND... WE GOT IN FOURTH!!! WHEE!!!!!!!(trophy below)
But it was quite depressing that we did not get to the top 3. Ah well, at least I had fun!

But all good things must come to an end.*sobs*I will miss my teammates... hopefully we can meet again during the holidays.

Before I end my post, this is something I came up with after the exams...
F.Y.I. This is Tobi from Naruto, and the fox at the back would be Kyuubi.

Although the more I see it, the more I think it sucks (since I haven't watercoloured in 4 years), but I'm just posting it for fun. You can rate it if you want...(scale 1-10 as usual)

2008-10-12T07:27:00.003+08:00

Yo! Everyone! I'm back!

End-of-Year Examinations are finally over! Wahoo! What's more Monday is Marking day. 3 day holiday!

BUT...! It isn't so for me. Why?

First of all, Saturday is Tuition Day. Where got time to play?
Next, Sunday is Drilling day, so i'll be drilling my weaker subjects in the morning. And my mum require me to help her carry her shopping bags in the afternoon when she goes shopping since my dad is busy and my mum, once again, assumes that I will be bored to death if I don't go out. (Why is it that when I want to go out my mum refuses and when I don't want to go out my mum insist on going out?)
Lastly, I tomorrow have a CCA project meeting. So when everyone is slacking at home, I am running all over the place! (And some people STILL think I'm very free...)

You may be wondering, what about the remaining time? Well... That time my brother was using the computer, and still is! (I am currently using my mum's computer...) It may seem dumb to fight with him over one computer, but let me get TWO points CLEAR!
One, that is the only computer which my parents allow any installation of games.
Two, he is in the midst of examinations AND he can play, whereas I have to wait for my exams to be over before I can play, but as of now I'M STILL WAITING!

To make things even more frustrating, the 2GB memory card my parents promised to give me after the exams turned ort to be only 119MB! Turns out it was another one of those china scams!I even got a scolding when I (accidentally) lose my temper in front of my dad, who is even more hot-tempered than me.

To top it off, 'D-Gray man' anime series, which I WAS watching, ended. And there isn't any new manga published yet.

As you can see, my 3-day holiday is more of 3-day HELL...

'till next time...
(P.S. I did draw something to post, but the only computer that has the software for transferring the pictures from my handphone to my computer is apparently being used by my brother!)

2008-09-20T23:39:00.003+08:00

Why?! My dad still not satisfied?!

I finally got a 64 for my higher chinese and he's still not satisfied?!

Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to get this marks?
I pratically cried for 15 minutes in the toilet('cause he does not like me crying...)
These few days my dad has been in an extremely bad mood... I am trying my best not to argue with him...

ANYWAY...!

Introduction of new manga!
-Recommended for those with interest with Russian History(before the Stalin Revolution)
BLOOD+ A(Adagio)
Another manga based on the Blood+ story, this is a story about Saya and Hagi's first mission. With most of the characters from the history books, like Tsar Nicholas II and the ever-familiar Rasputin, this is one interesting manga to read. Just watch out for mixing fact from fiction...

Read it about 3 times, still not bored...

P.S. Finals are here. Will probably blog again in 3 weeks...

2008-09-13T20:41:00.002+08:00

Bored... Bored! BORED!

I AM BORED WITH STUDYING WHOLE DAY!

Okay. Exams are nearing and there's TONS of homework and tests, it can't be helped...

Another more depresing thing is... well... remember last time I mention I had to attend meetings for the Inter-area school project which cause me to run off after lesson every tuesday and thursday?

We. Got. Into. The. FINALS! FINALS!!! DURING EXAM PERIOD! ARGH!!!!!!!!

Depressed... yet at the same time happy... But still depressed...
