Twitter is amazing!

I was sitting here awhile ago and all of a sudden, I felt my house sway from left to right.
I saw my computer sway too.
And I felt my computer chair move slightly with the sway.
I yell down "Do you guys feel the house shaking?"
And everybody said "Yes"
Upstairs was worse because I was higher above ground.
I decided to tweet.
twixt_arcana um guys, is there an earthquake somewhere?? my house is shaking like mad. i'm not lying.

I believe I'm in for a long night.
Came home from another boring day in school.
Got ready for Japanese class with an aching head. It felt like the blood was ready to burst outta my head. Like the aliens in there finally gave up and realised there is no way out.
So I decided to take a half hour nap before leaving.
I set my alarm for 6:15PM.. stupid touch screens. It registered 4 instead of 1 so my alarm didn't ring on time and I only woke up at 6:35PM because my internal alarm was waking me up.
So I rushed out, still with my headache and my mind wandered while I was in the car and I forgot to turn off to the shortcut route and found myself on the LDP by habit. At 6:40 freaking PM when people are rushing home from work. Halfway through the LDP, it turned to 7:15PM and I decided to screw the hell out of it and go home.
Then, Hanzel Und Gretyl came on in the car and maybe all that drum pounding, guitar squealing and girl growling cured the headache. It definitely won't be a first.

Right now, I'm raking my brains trying to come up with a concept model.
It has been awhile, model boards. Hello.

It's over. All over.

First day = AWFUL.
Crazy Week AGAIN. I hate this bullcrap.
Three weeks of my life about to be wasted and I will never be able to reclaim it.
I could've done so much more with these three weeks.
YES. I'm complaining. Deal with it.
Now, I have to research about evolution. Darwin, anybody?
Evolution is not my favourite topic to research about. Seriously.

Finished watching Torchwood Season 2.
They killed Toshiko and Owen T_T
Speaking of that, I showed my Mum the video of John Barrowman singing Sunset Boulevard and this was all she said.. "Wow. He's perfect"
My thoughts exactly. According to my sister, that was not his best vocal performance so I came to the conclusion that it was the visual accompaniment that may have made it so much better but his voice is very nice to listen to.

I really hate brainstorming T_T
Save me~!

I was reading 'The Yoshiki Book' while waiting for the briefing to start this morning. Oh, my mushrooms, that first chapter is probably the saddest piece of autobiographical paper I have ever read. Seriously, I thought about what he might've been thinking when he walked up to that podium and said 'konkai wa...' or even what was his reaction or where he was or what he was doing when he heard of hide's death.
It isn't groundbreaking but for someone who loves them like me, it's very sad because the lost is felt all round.
It's worse when you're reading the part where the dude asks Yoshiki "Daijoubu desu ka" and Yoshiki says "Hai" and X-Japan's Forever Love comes on by chance. It gets worse when you realise that they sang that song at his funeral.
I have only ever watched that CD once. I haven't even completed it to the end. I can't bear to watch it.

When is Ai no Kusabi being released?
My patience cannot take this anymore.

Wit is educated insolence

Late last night, halfway through Torchwood (Yes, I'm not done watching it yet), I realised Ivan was missing and searched everywhere for him only to realise that my Mum might have done a little abducting and washed him.
So, there he was, hanging on the laundry line.
I took him down since he was dry and left a note for my Mum.
"Yo, Mum. I took Ivan. I don't approve of my babies 'hanging out' in the middle of the night. And on a peg too. Don't worry, he is dry. By the way, did you bleach him? He looks albino. Love Lyd. P/S: Inform me the next time you get into the baby abducting mood!"
This morning/afternoon, she came up and said "Don't accuse! I didn't abduct ANYBODY"
I said "Yes you so did abduct my baby"
She said "Did you get his dress?"
I said "Yes"

Good morning, world!
It's the last day of my holidays :)
I'm plastering a smile on my face to hide the sadness.

Yesterday, I spent the day out in MidValley.
I had a foot massage.
It started with me going "hehehehe" to me going "oooh! ow! OY!"
The lady could not speak a word of English or Cantonese. Only Mandarin. Right! It is VERY easy to get the message that I'm in PAIN across. It was especially painful on the left foot because I've sprained it before. Ow, the pain.

After that, I came home and watched Torchwood.
Seriously, that series is very addictive. Episode 5 of Season 2 had me confused because of that Adam guy. Stupid memory parasite! That episode is the episode where Ianto lost his diary and Jack found it :D Yes. I love the two of them.
I need to continue now.
For we all know that Episode 11 is the episode we're all waiting for.
Damn it. As if I don't already know what it is about. I watched that episode on BBC and they completely censored the naked hide and seek part and so skillfully too.
I do not want to watch Season 3. I cannot believe they killed Ianto. T_T

Singapore GP tonight!
Exciting! Can't believe Barrichello crashed out in the qualifying, though. How sad!
Hamilton on pole and Rosberg is third *cheers!!!*
Let's hope Rosberg plays his cards right tonight!

Can your baby get pregnant if you have sex while pregnant?
like if you are pregnant with a baby girl, and you have sex while you are pregnant, can the sperm go up in there and impregnate the baby?


People are AMAZINGLY STUPID! (Talk about a double penetration)
It reminds me of the question that the guy asked asking if it was possible to get pregnant through phone sex. Dude! Educate yourself!

Watching Dir en grey's '08 tour on YouTube. Audience Killer Loop sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

Reminiscing

Every once in awhile, it comes to this. Me, sitting here in the middle of the night, remembering the nonsense.

In 1995, on the first day of school, a girl called Rachel introduced herself to me and then pointed over at a very small girl and said "That's Natasha". That's how I met Nut.
Also in 1995, Nut and I had the same haircut and I was in gymnastics. XD
In 2003, I told a guy that I LOVED Jon Bon Jovi and he told me he had a friend that looked like him. I told him "Tell me this, your friend would be Chinese, would a Chinese boy look like a New Jersey boy?". Some people are blind.
In 2003-2005, everytime I had to deal with my '05 cheer team's teacher, I would be greeted with "TAKE OFF YOUR EARRINGS! BUCKLE UP! WEAR YOUR NAME TAG! WHERE'S YOUR SCHOOL SOCKS?! IS THAT YOUR PHONE IN YOUR POCKET?! CUT YOUR NAILS! FORGET IT, CALL YOUR MOTHER TO SCHOOL!!!!". My Mum always went "Not again...".
In 2004, Donovan gave me a Poring pillow for my birthday and then he reveals about 3 years later that he only did it because he liked me at that point. Now he doesn't bother.
In 2002, I took my seat on the first day of school and turned around to discover Nut, a friend since the first day Standard 1, was sitting behind me. I talked to her as usual and somehow, ended up talking to Shari who never noticed me even though we were in the same primary school. One thing led to another and somehow, SJ jumped seat from the row to our right and replaced my partner. That's how it happened. Shari discovered we all had something in common and that 'something' is now our inside joke.
In 2000, when I fought with my group of friends and SJ fought with her group, we were best friends for two whole days.
In 1994, a boy in kindergarten gives me a ring... out of love, he said. I wonder what happened to him. In 2002, we stole Nut's maths book while she was out at a maths competition. We gave it back to her.. after we made her hunt for it.
In 1996, Rye-chan and I were obsessed with Sailormoon. Don't deny it, Rye-chan! She used to love Sailor Chibi Moon (If I'm not wrong) and I used to love Sailor Jupiter. XD
In 2005, a friend told me to pass porn to another friend during class.
In 2004, construction workers discovered my friends kissing in school.
In 1999, I ate lunch at 4PM everyday because I refused to eat canteen food for lunch before extra classes.
In 1998, I had to sit in front to copy notes and the girl who was next to me started telling me about how it's all her brothers' fault that she's grounded. That girl is SJ. That's how we met.
In 1997, my good friends were all my malay friends. This helped my BM alot.
In 2006, Nut saw Ray's hands on the first day of class and whispered to me "Look at his NAILS!"
In 2004, Masayo-chan started leeching Gazette videos off me and started the friendship.
In 2001, after being denied access to the internet, I went online and discovered hide commited suicide in 1998. It was a very sad day.
In 1997, a girl from another class was switched to my class due to overcrowding. After the first exam she told me "I got a 6 for maths" I said "Yeah, right" she said "Wanna BET?". That's my first conversation with Christina.
In 2003, I discovered that I enjoyed playing the piano.
In 2002, I got Ivan for my birthday.
In 1998, I had a birthday party and very soon discovered that I hated parties.
Sometime ago, there was a boating accident and I got the biggest gash on my palm that I've ever seen. I don't even remember what year this was. Probably 1996-1997.
In 1998, my Dad writes my name on our dark green jet-ski and after that I will only ride that one.

How time flies.
Now everybody's asking me what I am going to do for my 21st birthday.
I don't know!

I swear I'm going to church this Sunday...

... to thank God for answering alot of people's prayers.

Toshiya is back in a skirt.

I hear fans of their VK days dancing around in joy.And anyway, what happened? He woke up one morning, said "I want to wear a skirt" and decided to wear skirts for the entire tour? (I'm referring to Haiiro no Ginka Vol.44)
Life is so awesome sometimes.
It's not as short as they used to be and I believe there are pants below that skirt. I don't think he'd be showing off his gorgeous legs as he used to. I swear I'm not jealous of his legs.
I don't know. I can't see well.. damn lighting!
Can you imagine if he doesn't wear pants under that... The moment he leaps in the air... Like that time when he was lying down on the stage in that red plaid skirt...
... *nosebleed*
Rye-chan~ My mind is perving.. can you tell?

Anyway, I'm dying for 2nd December now.
Dir en grey's new single!
Skirt or no skirt, I WANT IT.
And the winner!... for longest title ever goes to...
Hageshisa to, kono mune no naka de karami tsuita shakunetsu no yami!
Say that without breathing!

With violence, inside this chest a coiling? wrapping??...strong? intense? scorching? heat of darkness... ????
Where is my dictionary!?
Whatever happened to simple titles like 'Garden' and 'Yokan'?


Oh, SJ, apparently, there is reason to believe that Kaoru's goatee has been cleaned off his chin.

I want a super spy guinea pig

I watched G-Force with Donovan today.
It was so adorable, I attempted squeezing air to cure my urge.
So I can now inform you, from my personal experience, it does not cure the urge.
The trailer for Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs came on and I told him that I really want to watch the movie.
He sat through the trailer and said "I think we should watch this show at home"
I replied "True. There'll be lots of food there"
Imagine the type of cravings I will get?
Donovan is an arse.
I mentioned that I cried from start to finish while watching Up and he said "You are SENSITIVE?!"
And then he later informs me that I'm not a girl.
Trust me, I don't have certain Y's and I lack protrusion that'll qualify me for manhood. No matter how convinced he is that I am not of the XX species.. it'll never happen.

I had to rise up early like the worm today to send my brother for his 'undang' exam.
Again. He sent me a text saying "Nobody here. Might be earlier today" so I decided not to drive home and waited for him. One hour later, he comes out and says the system is down.
I waited one whole bloody hour for absolutely nothing.
So we sat down for breakfast and I had nasi lemak.
I am not the loudest cheerleader for nasi lemak as I'm not fond of everybody's favourite breakfast but I was so hungry, I just had to have it (That and they had nothing else)

I just finished 3 hours of Torchwood watching.
I can watch 12 hours of Torchwood even if they just show Captain Jack's face.
Now that is one hot piece of immortal ass.
My sister is just waiting to start on Season 2 because we all know it has the 'famous' scene of Jack and Ianto.
Very awesome. John Barrowman is h-o-t.

Back to downloading sheet music off the internet.
I am everybody's virtual leech.
Feed me.
*smacks head*
I have yet to photocopy Fantasy Impromptu for Wendy.

Everytime I listen to X-Japan's X.. I remember the '92 concert video. Man, the hair.
I swear, there was more hair on that stage than equipment.
But it brought my understanding of the word 'awesome' to a whole new level.
Beethoven had 7 fingers per hand, that guitar dude has 10 fingers per hand... I now believe Yoshiki might be hiding an extra foot somewhere. (I jest)
Rusty Nail just reminds me of the Dahlia Final Tour.
hide... T_T

Gotta keep them eyes open (A Yoshiki-centric post)

Today, as personal rituals will have it, I took a trip to Kinokuniya (Note how I don't even bother to mention the mall anymore?).
I picked up my magazine as usual... I'm beginning to get tired of walking up to the counter and announcing my account number. I've been doing it for close to 5 years now.
After that, I was browsing the 'hot and new' section and I saw a familiar face.
I smiled and thought to myself "Ah, Yoshiki" and walked along.
Then I stopped and thought "Yoshiki?", walked back and noticed that the book said 'YOSHIKI'.
I picked it up and flipped through and realised it was his freaking autobiography.
I bought it. The best RM118 spent since Dir en grey's Dragonfly book (That was RM180, though).
XD!
I will forever love X-Japan and pay no attention to how many people have intentionally insulted their brilliance in front of me :D
And I will forever love the moment I first heard the first note of Crucify My Love.
(Note how I unconsciously used their song, "Forever Love", in my sentence)
(book cover)
You gotta admit, at 40+ years old, the man is still pretty damn hot. (In my very personal and bias opinion)
(promoting the book.. he looked good, I had to have this picture here)
The book actually had a picture of him in some high school thing and he must've been playing the girl because that definitely looked like a dress.
He looked very good in high school.. Rye-chan, he had that typical manga gangster type hairstyle :D
(I wonder if he was posing)
I'll probably get sad reading the parts about his father's and hide's deaths knowing how much it must've affected him... and all the fans (hide's death part).

I put the book on the coffee table after showing my brother and my Mum came and read his name in Chinese. "Good tree? Is that his name?!"
His name 'Yoshiki' means 'good tree' in Chinese. I wonder if that's what it means in Japanese. Should be, sounds about the same.
I lifted the book and told my grandma "Look! Hot right? He has the same surname as you! :D"
She looked at him and looked away. I thank God she didn't say "Yeah, she's pretty" like how she did with Gackt because that would've been sad.
My grandma's surname's chinese character has two 'wood' next to each other. (Imagine it yourself)
In Japanese, it reads as 'hayashi'.
I've seen them use that kanji for his surname, I'm not sure but if it's true, he shares my grandma's surname because her's reads as 'hayashi' too.
Why didn't I inherit her surname instead? T_T

Speaking of Yoshiki, after 2 years of not seeing the music sheet.. I finally picked up the notes for Es Dur no Piano.
I could never play it due to the crossing hands and the 5 sharps.
I played it that day. I felt like I have accomplished something amazing. Although, nobody can play it as well as Yoshiki -all hail-

I need a bloody haircut

Talking about hair, I actually tried on hair extensions (5 inches across) that cost RM140.
Wow.
It was real human hair and was so long it reached my ass.
And it was just for one side.
Crazy, it'll come in the way of my eating. Masayo probably pissed herself laughing at the sight of me with ass long hair.

Everytime I listen to Metallica's Nothing Else Matters.. it feels like that's as close to an epiphany as I'll ever get.
(epiphany = a divine manifestation)
Speaking of divine.. my brother tagged me on some picture of South Park's characters... and I was tagged as Jesus.
He said he did it because it was just so contradictory.
As usual, thanks. *sarcasm*
I told Masayo-chan I was Christian and I think she nearly died with realisation that the friend she thought was an Atheist was actually Christian. I wouldn't call her an Atheist, either.. she's more agnostic.. I also think I am about 30% agnostic.
I've done some reading on agnoticism (as much as I would allow myself, that is) and I've come to the conclusion that Masayo-chan and I both fall under the 'agnostic theism' category. According to Wikipedia (which is the easiest site to quote), we do not know of the existance of a deity but we believe in a deity.
If I have confused you, too bad.
She believes in a God, she said but doesn't know which God is the right God (I have my own theory on 'the right God' but it's too long) while I believe in the holy trinity (non-Christians, don't rake your brain, Google is there for a reason) but I cannot prove that they exist and I know I can't and I acknowledge that. (Some people don't think it's possible to be that way)
I'm dropping it here. Religion, I used to discuss this with Nee On alot. Religion is always fun to discuss with people who have theoretical views on it. As absurd as it gets sometimes.
Sidenote: Nee On's 'we're dust on a carpet and one day a Giant will dust out his carpet' theory is something I believe everybody should hear (because it made me laugh but it kinda makes weird sense). I always had similar thoughts since young and it's hard to explain. His is somewhat apocalyptic whereas mine is not as conclusive.

And to think it all started with 'I need a bloody haircut'.
My mind wonders to all ends, doesn't it?
I really started reading on agnosticism after reading about metaphysics. There's a connection. Quantum physics is now grabbing my interest. There's just so many things to learn.
Niels Bohr said "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."
Trust me, read about it, it is shocking.

Akira Norikazu's semes are like... to-die-for.
As in, I'd die to see someone like that in real life.
*dies* ... damn.
Same for Yamane Ayano's semes. Asami in particular.
Gah, I can't wait for the next chapter of Viewfinder.
/endgeek

I'm the only one on this floor tonight.
Both sisters are away on overnight trips.
I can make all the noise I want! Score!

Masayo-chan went home today.
She messaged me to tell me so.
Somehow, I get this feeling that all her plans are very last minute.
She's gonna start studying near my house... chances are she's gonna be calling me out alot. Especially since she lives near my house too.
I tell you, going out with her to buy pants is like 'coming out of the closet'.
She and her habit of holding your hand. I swear, people were giving me "Aw, it's sweet that you're not afraid to hide it" looks the entire time. She, as usual, was oblivious. I don't give a damn about gender but I think I do prefer men.

The other day, while teaching Masayo-chan to play the bass, I told her I could play the piano and her face was literally like this :O
Somehow, I get that alot. Most people don't even believe I can play Ode to Joy. (Which is, by the way, extremely simple.. and I'm not even talking about the simplified versions)
At the same time, I feel the need to mention that I believe Beethoven had 7 fingers that was as long as the nile because my poor short fingers cannot reach the octaves that he has composed.
And that dude who composed the Vals for guitar, had like ten fingers per palm.
Speaking of Beethoven, I found the swing book again and decided to play it :) So fun. This book turned all the popular Baroque tunes (Canon in D, Fugue etc.) into swing music.
#1: So much easier to play than the original.
#2: So much more fun and funky.
#3: It's the ONLY time I can play Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini without a hitch.
Sergei Rachmaninov, another one with abnormal hands. If you've ever seen the Paganini, you'll agree with me.

Oh, I haven't photocopied the music sheets for Wendy.
:S Remind me.

It all started with a weird dream...

... that I can't remember.
It woke me up at 9:59AM sharp.
My alarm rang a minute later at 10AM.
I have alarm clock dreams now. They just need to tune their timing a little. I could've slept that 1 more minute.
I took a shower (didn't wash my hair) and ran out for Masayo-chan.
Took her to Sg. Wang, which we dread by the way, but she had to fix her belt.
Ended up having lunch and she bought a new buckle to replace the unfixable buckle (I told her so).
We went crazy discovering there's a Daiso there. She lives near The Curve and has discovered the fantastic junk shopping one can indulge in in Daiso.
We talked about our past experiences with bands and how we seem to have given up with the crap crowd.
She said "If you are giving up because you're already 21, then what about me?! I'm only 18!"
Then I brought her back home to teach her the basics of the bass.
She said "Feel so 'paiseh'... I don't know if my make up scared your parents or not".
I replied "Don't worry. My Dad and Mum are used to heavy eyeliner and black eyeshadow".
My Mum told me the same thing "I think Dad would be used to it from you".
I say "Thanks". Sure enough, my Dad seemed unfazed. He came up, smiled and said "Hello! Where are you from?" like it was an everyday thing to see your daughter bring home a girl wearing pentagrams on her belt and skulls on her fingers. But I used to do it, so he should've thought as much.
Then I sent Masayo-chan to meet up with her sister in Tesco. (I'd like to have seen the commotion she would've started in Tesco)
On the way home, while stuck in a jam on the LDP at roughly 6:45PM, SJ messages me and asks "What time are you going to Chris'?"
I reply "IT'S TODAY?!"
Damn. Here I was dreaming of a long, hot shower, a couple of minutes hugging Ivan and watching TV and then eating dinner.
I clearly remember marking down the 18th under the word 'Saturday' in my planner so I thought it was tomorrow.
I rechecked my planner and I marked it on Saturday alright, it's just that Saturday is the 19th. Oh, my failing eyes.
So, I called her and told her I'd be late.
Ate my dinner, took a shower, put on the face and I left.
It was the usual people you'd expect at Chris' party.. all the old secondary school people and a few of her college friends. We talked, ate cake... etc. (actually, that's it)
Someone almost got mugged outside her house... the girl was just standing there smoking for a bit.
It kinda freaked us out a little cause the front door was wide open for the world to see.

I'm tired.
DX

Magna Canta is soothing.

Chuck Norris jokes have evolved past verbal impossibilities

This guy knows how to make the best out of a bad situation.
One person commented that it couldn't have been Chuck Norris cause the car was still there... so another replied that the picture was taken in China. XD

If you aren't interested in what I do at night...

... don't bother.
Lol!

The internet is wonderful

I downloaded 14 illegal and banned e-books.
Titles include, Anarchists' Cookbook IV, Beginners Guide to Growing Marijuana, How to Grow Psychedelic Mushrooms, 100 Ways to Disappear and Live Free, Improvised Lock Picks and etc.
:D
Of course it came with a stern warning to READ ONLY and not practice.
However, 21 Techniques of Silent Killing may pose a threat if it falls in the hands of a mentally unstable person :D That shit is detailed!
Introduction
Chapter One: Manual Weapons
Chapter Two: The Spike
Chapter Three: The Knife
Chapter Four: The Nunchaku
Conclusion
And it comes with illustrations XD

Speaking of books, I've added to my book collection.
One book for my art books and one for my classical collection.
Sumi-e and Metamorphoses.
Someone stop me.

*insert title of choice here*

We visited the rabbit farm today.
I cuddled rabbits again :) I'm a very happy bunny-loving person.
I was playing with a 'lilac' coloured Netherland Dwarf.
Oh, he was so adorable. I could've ran off with him (if it wasn't for those damn Rottweilers)
And I met the owner's show bunny, Kenneth (named after somebody who really loved him at the rabbit show) and he's going to America for another show! :D These rabbits are more travelled than I am.
The rabbit world is exciting.
Unfortunately, the type we wanted, the Holland Lop, is breeding very slowly at his farm. So we're on a waiting list. Yes, there is a waiting list of about 6 months or more for the cute furry pals.

Watching the making of 304 Goushitsu... again.
I haven't seen it in 2 years.
HA HA HA HA!
I never realized the amount of crack going on in there.
I'm not too sure now, but I think it's Kaoru who looked over at Shinya and pretended to get scared. I miss all that crack.

Masayo-chan is supposed to be in town today.
Meeting up with her soon.. She wants me to teach her the bass.
An Australian band offered her the position of bassist.. and she wants to try it out... and she doesn't play an instrument let alone the bass.
Not gonna burst her bubble but I wonder if she'll be able to master it in that short a time.
I hope she doesn't want to play THAT song... :S

I'm so hungry.
I downloaded REAL monks chanting :) I want to be a monk.

My back is giving me problems.
I feel 90.
Every morning, there's a pain from my shoulders to my lower back.
Urgh.

My brother was watching me play FFVII (cause he says it's like watching a movie) and I was telling him about all those yaoi doujinshis I've read that was SephirothxCloud and it gave him a few ideas, just read on.
It so happens that we were at Aeris' death scene and Sephiroth and Cloud exchanged a few words that were SO suggestive it made us pause at every scene to LAUGH.
It kinda went like this...

Cloud: My fingers are tingling, my mouth is dry...
Bro and I: O_O (because we were just saying how it seems like Sephiroth was giving Cloud a job when he made Cloud give him the black materia)

Then Sephiroth sprouts some bullshit about being surprised Cloud had feelings.

Cloud: Of course! Who do you think I am?
Bro: "My toy"
Bro and I: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Me: I was trying NOT to say IT!

Then in the snowy mountains, Elena delivers our punchline!

Elena: It really doesn't matter! But you really got guts doin' my Boss in like that!
Me: Boss? Tseng? Doing Tseng? :O
Bro: XD LOL!
Cloud: You mean Boss... Tseng? That wasn't us, Sephiroth did it
Me: :O Sephiroth isn't just doin' Cloud
Bro: XD XD XD
Elena: Don't try to act innocent, I'll never forget it!!
Me: Innocent? Right. Not with Sephiroth~
Bro: HAHAHAH! YEAH, Cloud = not innocent
Me: XD

Oh, we laughed like crazy after that.
Yes, we have alot of free time.

Watched Gamer with Donovan today.
Expected a not-too-good movie due to reviews but it was better than expected.
It did get slightly boring in the middle and I think the ending was kinda bad.
The beginning was good (and not because Marilyn Manson's Sweet Dreams was the opening song XD). I think they should've explored the concept of Slayer and Society instead of making it a movie based on revenge but that's just my opinion.
And I like how they called the transfer of command to the controlled people and the receiving of the command 'ping'. Like when you're testing to see if your internet connection is working and you type 'ping' and you know how many packets sent, received and lost XD
Society reminded me very much of Second Life and Slayer was similar to the more popular first-person shooter games out there.
And I was getting philosophical about it in my head but I'll save that for another time.
Overall, I enjoyed the geek part of the movie (for example, I salivated over that rich boy's 'computer'.. if that's what computer's are gonna look like in the future, I'm gonna make sure I live a very long time), the action was quite good cause it reminded me of a real game but it kinda dried up the moment he ran away from Slayer and the ending was.. on a low note.
I did enjoy all the cyberpunks, steampunks and cybergoth-ish people I noticed in Society.

Traffic getting worse. It took me 30 minutes for me to get to the next u-turn on the LDP and 45 minutes from that u-turn back to my house. :S

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

Thursday, September 10, 2009

*yawn*

Brother's birthday party ended.
I'm stuffed to the brim.
I took him out to buy a cake and asked him, "What do you want written on the cake?" and he said "Happy birthday?" and I asked, "Do you want your name?" he replied, "No. Just 09-09-09".
He is very proud of his birthday's date this year.
His friend came over with a case of beer. Nice.

Before I finished my fighting girl or my 'catcher' jester.. I have started another one.
Gah! I really have no stick-to-it-itiveness.
The problem is, I'll be working on one drawing and then halfway through, I'll get another image in my brain and I'll HAVE to work on it. *dies*
I'm enjoying myself before school takes sketching away from me :(

Hahahahahah!
This person commented on Koji saying "Silver-haired men in anime don't have the best track record for sanity, huh?"
That is SO true! Sephiroth, Muraki etc... dude, he/she's on to something!

Hungry Ghost month.
Brother's friend saw a ghost through his camera.
Donovan has ghosts (note the plural) infesting his house.
Why are there more ghosts this year than any other given year?
Here is my theory.
Since we're in recession, most families can't afford to buy all those expensive paper to burn thus, leaving their deceased loved ones without much in the afterworld. So, since this is the month for free afterworld-ly food, they are all flocking the living world to eat their share before going back.
Hence, why everybody seems to be experiencing ghosts.
:D (I'm not serious but it could be possible.. it's a little like the domino effect, yes?)

I feel like re-watching X.
It has been awhile.

It's good to know

As a kid, I spent my time drawing Doraemon, mice in dresses/pants and blue sparrows.
When I reached my teens, I taught myself to draw figures.
It's good to know I have improved since then and is now able to draw without reference.
Good night.

When is fall?

We starved Nut today.
Dinner was supposed to be at 8:30PM but Shari only arrived at my house at 8:30PM so poor Nut was left waiting for me until about 9PM.
Anyway, we went to Werner's at Changkat. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Leo-chan, my sister, NeeOn and Jiny. Leo-chan called me over and said "Don't order their special". Thanks for the heads up.
My only complain? It's too damn dark upstairs to see anything.
The food was good. I ordered a wild mushroom lasagna (because you know I love mushrooms) and it was good :) Nut ordered her duck pasta and Shari got some seafood thing.
Shari and I decided that we wouldn't order alcohol until after dinner but after dinner, we were so full we couldn't even think about the beef ball noodles down the road (Nut was, though).
I really wanted us all to take a picture together because it has been ages since we did that.
We snapped one and Shari says "Lyd's eyes aren't open".
I said "I'm SORRY for being CHINESE!"
I hope she was honest when she said it was a mistake.
Nut just laughed like a drain.
That was my night.

Visited my grandaunt today.
After the visit, sister and I went to Atria to check out some sale they had. It was bad.
So we went downstairs to the books :)
I bought a design book (for half the price) and I FINALLY bought Alice in Sunderland and for RM69.90 (as opposed to the Rm180++ in normal bookstores). Anyway, I can't even find it in normal bookstores anymore. I was gonna buy "Stop in the name of pants" but I didn't wanna ruin the collection by buying the really big one and they only had one really messed up copy of the size I wanted. *sigh*
I was afraid my Mum was gonna say "MORE BOOKS?!" because I was actually supposed to be there checking out clothes. Books top clothes anyday.
And this isn't the first time she's sent me off to a clothes sale only to find me coming home with books.

I can't draw males.
Anybody who has seen me draw, will know I only draw females.
Why I can't draw males, I don't know.
I tried yesterday.. it was succesful :)
Unfortunately, in YaoiLand, this dude will be a 'catcher' or as we say 'uke'.
ARGH! Why can't I draw men?
Anyway, I was playing FFVII and saw a monster that kinda looked like a jester.. it intrigued me and inspired me :D

Take a look

I remember being tagged for one of these 'tag' things awhile back.
I have forgotten the 'rules' and the 'title' but all I know is I'm supposed to take a picture and name the items found in my bag.(Wow, I need to clean my bag)
1. Sketchbook (to observe and sketch which usually lead to peculiar stares from my random subjects)
2. Monthly planner (because my life will be in shambles without it)
3. Nintendo DS (in case of boredom, play this)
4. Guitar Hero grip for DS (refer above)
5. A very mini clutch (which is used for holding mini lip glosses and what not)
6. Emergency items of the cosmetic kind (which is kept in item #5)
7. Emergency perfume (J'adore, mmm)
8. MP3 player (note that I don't carry earphones with me)
9. LG earphones for phone (doesn't work on item #8)
10. Wallet (don't leave home without it)
11. Coin pouch (bought in Japan when I was 11, still good and strong although dirty)
12. Pencil case (to be used with item #1)
13. Marker (because it can't fit in item #12)
14. Loose coins (I can't be bothered to fiddle with item #11 when in a hurry)
15. Loose note paper (not sure if it can be seen but it's under item #4 and above item #12)

Phone is missing from list because I used my phone to take the picture.
And if I'm not mistaken, I'm supposed to name my bag brand and shit too.

Brand name = unknown.
Store name = unknown.
Price = RM29.90

Cheap and holds all my shit :D

I tag...

... nobody!
Because this is such an outdated piece of tag!
(But if you feel like giving people an opportunity to look into your bag, go ahead.. no monsters stopping you)

I'm taking some things out now.

Full of beef

Leo-chan came over and made dinner :D
There was roast beef, salad, roast potatoes, blueberry cheesecake (with fresh blueberries, don't get me started *slurp*) and the biggest baguette I've seen in my life.

This morning, Nut woke me up with a message saying that her Dad made plans for dinner so our dinner was pushed to tomorrow. Right after I confirmed that I was gonna be at home for dinner, she calls me and says that she can go out after all. Well, now I can't -.-
So at the moment, it's Monday.
Lol!

Inariya Fusanosuke has released a new manga. It looks promising. :D
It's called Hari no Hana. Yay! I really love her stuff, I don't know why.
Of course, it's only the first chapter so I'm currently hanging precariously off a cliff.
I really enjoy reading the 'Seme handbook' thing in Dangerous Pleasure's credit pages. LOL! Especially the one where it says "Semes will hardly ever have sex naked. That's an uke thing"
Hahahahaha!

Oh my Genesis!
I only got 4 hours of sleep last night!
The TM guys came SO freaking early this morning and everybody woke me up X_x
I yawn thinking about it!
Turns out the 'big' problem, wasn't a problem at all and we all now know why the internet was so slow before. Damn them splitters.
After they left, I decided to take a nap. It started raining so the weather was perfect.. I switched on the fan which will usually wake me up halfway through because it's too hot but today, I actually snuggled into my blanket because it was cold.
And I woke up at 3PM. Followed Grandma and Mum out to buy fruits and on the way home bought 'yau char kuay'. After buying it, we decided we should have 'bak kut teh' for dinner.
*Yum*

After sitting on my arse for days, I decided to try colouring with Sketch Pad instead of Painter 11 and what I've realised is the marker really gives you fantastic results when matched up with the right kind of paper (Here, I'm using Japanese paper which has finer grains, in my opinion)Yes, the eyes are not equal.. Will fix it as I colour :) It's just a rough sketch, mind you. I drew that in under a minute so I didn't bother perfecting anything (-Disclaimer)
After playing around with the tablet for a bit, I've come to a conclusion that yes, the bigger the better. Occasionally, I find myself trying to sketch on the side.. which is, by the way, non-responsive.
The fighting girl is taking forever. I'm still trying to design a gun.. and her hands are pissing me off!
Rye-chan, one day.. I wanna observe your dolfie, 'kay? I think Azrael (or was it Azreal? Haha!) will make a very awesome model :)

I hate this woman.
+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
if only there is someone like Sephi eh>
?
Lydia.. for now. says:
*melts*
yessssssssssss

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
but Evill...

u'll prob be spending days tending to Sephi's hair
hmm.. prob stocking up on shampoos and conditioners as well

Lydia.. for now. says:
now that u mention it
that's TRUE
stop ruining my dreams

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
lol
the reason why i brough Sephi up is because i had just suddenly thought about that
=D

Lydia.. for now. says:
but i would LOVE to run my fingers through his hair
if i didn't have to tend to it
ur so mean
nx time don't tell me
XD
now everytime i see his awesome hair i will think of conditioners
Now, silly us. We're talking about his hair and maintenance.
Note to all, he IS a computer generated super villain.
Purely fictional. Like I have mentioned twice before, if men looked like him, our problems will be solved. Our problems aren't solved yet, is it?

Just a little snippet of a typical conversation between Rye-chan and yours truly.

Lydia.. for now. says:
(I SEE SEPHIROTH! YES!)
+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(is he naked?)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(he's not naked but it's still sephiroth, naked or not.. he's still sexy as hell)

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(*laughs* if u say so~ I've been seeing Cecil as Uke very much)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(oh my god cecil uke? mana?!)

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(the game la)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(or should i say oh my gackt)
(oh cheh)
+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(no no u could try oh my genesis)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(i thought you meant cecil uke in manga)
(oh yeah.. i can say that too.. good idea thanks)

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(haven't found any so u wait)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(actually ar, how come don't have? come la.. u n i draw)

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(nods nods Genesis and Sephi...)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(hahahahahahah)
+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(... my art skills aren't of par la, plus a lil perfectionist, sighs)
(i still wanna rid Kain of that darn mask)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(hahahah perfectionist i am not but i will nv be satisfied so i can nv stop drawing)
(looks like u n i cannot become mangaka la)

+YukiRye+ [It's a matter of perception] says:
(that's why)

Lydia.. for now. says:
(but the mask makes kain HOT)
(don't rid him of it)


Genesis in Crisis Core was modeled after Gackt. Hence, the replacement word.
My evil yaoi mind is bearing it's ugly head again.

I do not know why we were speaking in brackets.. but it happened. Kinda like how I always end up speaking in Malay with Claire.

Furry replacement

Couldn't sleep well last night because I kept thinking of my bunny.
The fact that I can't seem to get over her death probably sounds really silly to everybody.
I just miss having the little fur ball to talk to.

I managed to fix my PSX.
As I mentioned before, I really prefer software to hardware.
The memory cards work and I can continue playing :)
Finding Yuffie really makes one's level go up.
Cause you have to keep battling monsters till she decides to battle you.
Oh YES!!! YUFFIE!!!
Bye.

Wednesday, September 02, 2009

I woke up this morning and out of habit, wanted to walk out the door to say good morning to Nozomi who used to take up residence by the door.
Greeted by an empty space.
It's beginning to feel lonely around here.
I will stop crying now.. perhaps.

Someone on my MSN list is listening to The Black Mages :O
Another Final Fantasy fan?

Had to make another trip out to Low Yat today because Dad's modem isn't working.
They fixed it, we came home, same problem.
I called the guy, he wasn't much help.
Dad and I gave up. We're exchanging it.
I went online to find out how to fix it... there wasn't much.
Someone pointed out his/her problem and the answers were "Aztech? *sigh* Nothing to say about that" and "I suggest buying another modem?"
Right.
The problem is, they don't have the modem that my Dad wanted (which is mine) so he bought that and the only other alternative is Linksys. Are there any problems with that brand too?
I've had it to my eyeballs with modems.
I really prefer software to hardware T_T

So a little while ago, while experimenting with Corel Sketch Pad, I sketched a girl free-falling (with mouse).
Yesterday, I was beautifying the lines with my tablet.
My brother comes up (to use my internet... refer to internet problems above) and says "Are you using it?", sits down and watches.
Then because I flipped the page orientation to make it easier, he said she doesn't look like she's falling.
The two of us stared at it for a little while and I realised it looks like she's fighting.
So I pretty much changed quite a few things to make her look like she has just got sent flying by some kick and is still ready for some combat.
Ha ha ha.. it might change soon again.
I really do feel like that artist who kept painting his canvases even after it is hung for exhibition.
I will never finish a piece. I never feel satisfied.

My Dad keeps saying he'll take me to pick out another bunny but I kinda feel guilty.
I want a bunny.. but the bunny I want is Nozomi.
To Rye-chan, who messaged me over MSN and I wasn't at my computer - "Yes, I'm fine but still sad..."... thanks to everybody in my tagbox:)

I have this unconfirmed theory...

... that whenever a day is especially happy for you, it will end in disaster.
And whenever a day is especially bad for you, it will end good.

Today was a good day.
The mood swings was good. The din has died down to a cold war.
I finally accomplished a long dreamt dream of getting the Wacom.
And it was bigger than I expected.
We had a good time out in town, having good food.
Then I come home, to find my rabbit sicker than sick.
I took her to the clinic. The usual guy that treats her wasn't there and the replacement guy told me it could be post-surgical stress. I told him I think it's a flu, he didn't think so, well, he's the doctor or so I thought.
I brought her in after dinner to feed her some food because she hasn't eaten since yesterday and she hasn't drank anything.
I cuddled her while watching TV as I usually do.
I felt my arm getting wetter and wetter from her nose.
I get up to wipe my arm and come back to find her gasping for breath.
Her suffering made me cry...
And then she died.

I will now confirm, that if you're happy, you'll end up being sad.

No matter what it is.
No matter what the subject is.
You'll end up sad.
It has always been that way for me.
She died skin and bones because she wouldn't eat.
At least she waited till our cuddling time.

New toy :)

Parents and I visited Low Yat early this morning (we sat down for breakfast because we were too early) to look for my Dad's laptop battery.
Then I decided to check out Wacom prices.
Stared in awe at the A3 Intuos3 (It was the price of a laptop *shiver*).. my Dad thought that's what I wanted and I nearly died because yes, I do want it but my wallet says no.
Anyway, we discovered the prices there were cheaper compared to PJ so my Dad said "Just get it now" and I said "Okay". The dude brought over the 4x6 and my Dad looked at it and exclaimed "You need a magnifying glass or a microscope to use that!".
I told him it's not as bad as he makes it out to be and that many people use the 4x6.
He told me to get the medium sized one instead and I pointed out that my finances allows for only the 4x6. So he said he'll buy it for me.
*pause for random bouts of cheering*
I told him I'll pay half for it because it was RM600+ and I feel guilty (and I did work for the money) but both he and my Mum said it wasn't necessary... So I told my Mum to keep the RM250 that she owes me.
He explained that it's because he hasn't bought me anything for a very long time (which is true, I generally don't ask my parents to buy me stuff).. but I reasoned with him that my phone is very recent. I'm still tripping over the guilt of my dear stolen phone.
I brought it home and my brother was like "IS THAT THE WACOM?!"
And he sat here while I set it up and started playing with it the moment it was set up.
I can now digitally sketch.
*cheers*I saw the alternative brand (they had more of that than they had Wacoms) but it just wasn't as pretty. It wasn't attractive at all.
This one is pretty (not as pretty as the Intuos but prettier than the alternative).

My PSX died.
Did I mention?
I had to redownload the entire thing and now I have to restart FFVII from the beginning.
Which means I have to sit through that entire episode of Cloud's emo-ness in Nibelheim.
Help me. Now, I'm having problem with the memory cards. Will I NEVER finish this damn game? I have absolutely no luck, I tell you.
Kay Nielsen.
I love his illustrations.
And he illustrated alot of fairy tales that I love.. including "Twelve Dancing Princesses" which, for an unknown reason, is my favourite fairy tale.
