So I've moved half of my bed to the next room and it was weird trying to sleep in the room without the knowledge that there is another bed that is or will be occupied by a sibling.
For 22 years, I have never once been in a room with only one bed.
Before we moved, my second sister claimed the extra room downstairs as her own and stayed there for quite a while.
After we moved, it was decided that the oldest sister will have the smaller room to herself while I shared with my second sister.

My parents may very well be more than amused at me for displaying a joy befitting a 5 year old upon receiving a new toy.

I really am excited about it.

Speaking of my birthday....

... and painfully obvious hints...
Hi.
This is Ezio.
He won't be released until LATE this year.
I don't mind a LATE birthday present either.
Thanks.

(or you can save all the waiting and just get me a PS3)

[HAHAHAHAHA]

Whenever I say AT-AT

... I think of...
Oh wait. Lemme explain what's an AT-AT.

This.

If you think Star Wars Episode 1,2 and 3 were the best movies you've ever seen, chances are, you've never seen the original trilogy... and chances are you've never seen the AT-AT in action.
The original trilogy being the three movies I refer to as the first, second and third.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with Episode 1,2 and 3.. except say, the freaking story?
But if you have watched it and still think Episode 1,2, and 3 were the best, I suggest you watch it again.... (because Princess Leia in slave attire might just change your mind)

The AT-AT walker first appeared on the horizon in Star Wars V.
It stands for All Terrain Armored Transport.
It stands at 22.5 meters and is the baddest ass ever (besides the Snow Trooper but I only like that guy because his suit is adorable).
That's how freaking tall it is.. or those are some pretty short Snow Troopers.

If you watch old footage of World War II and think that the tanks are the coolest thing in the world ever, can you imagine how much cooler the footage would've been if the AT-AT walker was walking behind those tanks??
This is only here because it's a hint and my birthday is coming soon. I want LEGO. (Or Gundam.. whichever)

It is like the cyber-age's answer to the Trojan Horse.
(NO. I refuse to believe the Trojan virus is the cyber-age's answer because that's one war I cannot win!)
Why is the AT-AT a war I can win?
Because all you have to do is run to the back and blast his arse with a bazooka.
Why is that possible? Because the dude is freaking slow and has a head-turn radius of probably about 100 degrees.. in general.

ANYWAY.

Whenever I say AT-AT
I think of @-@.
Say it?

Rye-chan pointed me to this article.

Anime dangerous for children's viewing, says censor board chief

In response, this is all I have to say.
ARE YOU BLOODY SERIOUS?

See here, 'Chief', there is this thing called 'genres' and it is universally used to distinguish the difference between the many 'people' under the 'umbrella'.
Think of anime as an 'umbrella' and anime titles as the 'people'.
There is anime for kids and there is anime for adults.
Do not presume anime with children in it are for children and do not presume anime without children in it are for adults.
And not all cartoons are for children.

First, they say that all anime is hentai(porn).
I have watched anime since I was a kid and I have never encountered obscene sex.
Come on.
In the first place, what are you watching?
But we won't go into that.

Do not scrape the surface and decide that it's soil all the way down.
A surface is just that, a surface... there might layers of granite and stone below it.

Welcome to the 21st century.
Broaden your minds.

Things I used to love but can no longer love

  1. COFFEE.
    - Remember I mentioned my weekends when I was 14-15? Those that took place in MidValley? If you had seen me then, it would've been special if you saw me without a coffee in my hand. I LOVE coffee. Fastforward 6 years later and I can't love it. It's not that I don't love it anymore but I CAN'T. For some reason, coffee and my stomach have issues with each other and can no longer get along. Whenever coffee comes near, stomach gets gastric and Lydia wants to throw up.

  2. Shark's Fin Soup
    - I was raised with the stereotypical Chinese believe that expensive food = good food. I grew up eating this grotesque soup for most of my life until one day... I read up about Tibetan Monks.... Nothing to do with sharks but somehow it lead to me reading a first hand account at how people kill the sharks just for their fins. I can no longer love it as I used to. In fact, I can no longer smell it or look at it. It is that bad. Anyway, my Sharkie (the magnet) and SharkBag wouldn't agree to me drinking it either.

  3. Ducky and Duckie (Creative, I KNOW)
    - The two identical ducks that I was attached to from 6 years old to 14 years old. What happened? My Mum threw one when I was 9 and the other when I was 16. Without telling me. Am I still angry? ...YES.

  4. Dick Whittington and his Cat
    - Okay. Hear me out on this one. It's an English folktale. And I used to have the book in my bookcase that was situated IN my bed's headboard and I would read it EVERY night in primary school. I still read it in my secondary years and when we changed our beds, I couldn't find it anymore!! This book taught me the meaning of the word 'thrice' when I was 8! I need it back. If anyone has this book, please lend it to me!

  5. N'Sync
    - Need I say more? They're disbanded!

  6. Listening to new stuff from my favourite JRock bands
    - Why can't I do that anymore? Most are disbanded, some are dead (literally) and the rest just became boring and generic... Only Dir en grey and X Japan keep me going now. And occasionally, Kagrra,.

  7. Doing math equations in the checkered exercise book
    - Well, I no longer need to do that but I used to really enjoy it (My OCD with the numbers and boxes earns me praise from teachers). Whether I knew what I was equating or not, is a totally different thing altogether.

  8. Copying favourite panels from comic books
    - I no longer do it because my comic books physically get worn out when I hold it and draw. They get dirty and they bend down the spine. I don't like that. My OCD won't take it.

  9. Dreaming
    - My dreams are getting weirder and I see it as an omen... a very bad omen.
Just a few things I decided to....... *pause*

...

I don't have a #10?
My OCD-alert is ringing off it's hook/hinges.

Gimme 5 minutes to think of something.

... OKAY.

NUMBER 10.
MY OCD.
I can no longer love it because... can't you tell how many things in my life it's disrupting?

The one name in gaming...

(Everything from here to the end is seriously my views and my views only. I love the game but I just found this thought of mine funny as heck. Yes, I find myself funny.)

... that you'd hear me say frequently is Sephiroth (FFVII).
You'd hear me rave on and on about how cool his is and how much I wanna *bleeeeeeeeeep* him (Right, Rye-chan?).
So... here are some things about him that I don't always mention...

Note that beneath all that cool, calm, collected exterior is one individual who has no control over his emotions.
He'd be smiling (although, in an evil way) when talking to you.
He barely leaps when fighting.
Hardly ever lets out a battle cry.
But sometimes, he'd go bat-shit crazy and whip your ass into cream.

What is the perfect catalyst for bringing out that uncontrolled behaviour?
His mother.
Mention Jenova (or anything to do with cells or head) and he goes into a frenzied killing spree.
He spends half his life (in the game/movie whatever) going "okaa-san okaa-san".
Which really sounds like a little kid who has lost his mother in the park.

What does this mean?

He has a mother complex.

Now to a mother, this is all sweet and nice.
I mean, come on, Sephiroth pretty much changed his whole life, killed a whole lotta Shinra troops and burned down Nibelheim for his mother's HEAD. Let's not talk about the body yet.
The world of FFVII will seize to exist if Rufus Shinra had said "Oh ho, but you only have the head, SephyBaby... Let's see you find the body!"
BUT, if you were looking at him as a possible psycho husband...
It's probably not going to work very well.

And another problem is when he spawned into three seperate guys of equal 'hot-ness' and 'psycho-ness'(FFVII:AC)... it seemed to me like Square Enix seperated Sephiroth into three different prominent aspects of his personality (You know, what makes him 'tick')
Now, it was a good idea if they had stopped at Kadaj and Loz for one represents his strength (Loz) and the other his craziness (Kadaj). (Again, that's how I see it)
But the problem lies in the fact that when Yazoo first made an appearance in the trailers, I went "Woohoo, pretty villain-girl!"
Sephiroth is pretty, yeah, but to think that that was the third side of him...
Was HILARIOUS.

Anybody would do a double take at that.

And even if you decide between all three of his spawn, you gotta remember this...

They ALL have an intense mother complex!

I'm finding my conversation with Rye-chan a little bit funny at the moment.

Here are excerpts.
Explanations will be done in bracketed Italics... e.g (Italic)

+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
ya know, I sometimes salute those otaku (Sort of a really rude way to call somebody a geek in Japan)
=P
Lydia says:
sometimes i feel like an otaku but thats not relevant so go ahead...
why?
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
hahahahhahahhaha
we are otakus
well
Lydia says:
NO... i think we've not passed that border YET
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
there is this game call Idol Master (It'll be easier to Google the definition of this one)
well, obviouslyyy
so right now they are coming out with Idol Masters 2
take off some lolicon ("Lolicon" = Lolita complex. If you've never read Nabokov's Lolita, it means young girls being depicted sexually. "Shotacon" being the male equivalent)
and add in some bishies ("Bishies" = shorter version of "Bishounen" which is pretty boys. Literally)
can u guess the otaku's reaction?
Lydia says:
uh.. are they burning down the manufacturer's HQ?
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
if they could, they would
they are starting some online petition
i would say exaggerated reaction
Lydia says:
to get rid of the bishounen?
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
yeah
they want their lolis back
Lydia says:
my LORD
they're obsessed

***

Lydia says:
oh, i actually read somewhere that its an unwritten rule.. that REAL otakus only like animated 2D girls
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
yeap
i heard
Lydia says:
like, u can't call yourself an otaku if u have a real gf or something
daaaamn wtf right?
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
HAHAHHAHHAHA
damn man
Lydia says:
but if u think about it ar... i like alot of 2D men....
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
yeap
u aren't the only one
i still think the perfect boy friend is found on 2d
Lydia says:
and yes
the perfect guy is 2D and black and white... ASAMI (Asami Ryuichi from Yamane Ayano's Viewfinder series. Also a super seme.. seme meaning the pitcher in a same-sex relationship..)
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
hahahhaa YES

Then she was telling me about how they tried changing the Chocobo to 馬鳥 (Literally, horse bird) and had to change it back because everybody complained.

Lydia says:
why not just leave it as chocobo
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
no idea
ahah
and of course fans all complain
and so they changed it back
Lydia says:
i think right
the problem with nerdy fans like us
is we don't deal well with change
+YukiRye+ [Miracles May] says:
hahahahahaha
i think so too

I really like :

  • Talking to Rye-chan
    - Not only is she fantastically 'special', she really 'layans' my obsession with cartoon characters when the normal person will say "Why are you in lust/love with pixels?" and sometimes, I actually think she understands

  • Being on my own
    - People ask why and my family count me as part of their furniture but the truth is, I am happier when I'm doing my own thing, to my own time, all on my own. I don't ask that you understand and fully get what goes on in my head but I just ask that you don't ask.

  • The fact that my brother and I have always had common interests
    - From Pokemon to Music.. that is one bugger I've played with all my life and I still play with him. From cops and robbers to Rock God-wannabe, we've done it all. We like similar games, toys and music... THANK GOD or we'd be at each other like a tiger and a possum (he is the possum)

  • That my parents never really get on my case about what I do
    - The first time I walked out the door with the human equivalent of panda-eyes, my Dad stared for awhile, said "Wow" and after that, never questioned. My Mum sits in my car with my metal music blaring and all vulgarities uncensored and doesn't say anything. My grandma still pats Ivan on his head whenever I put him close to her... ah, that brings me to...

  • That my imagination has not waned with time
    - I genuinely have fun talking to Ivan and I genuinely see him responding to me. Hard to believe but yeah... HM~

  • The fact that I'm the youngest daughter.
    - See, my brother being the only son has some expectations rested on his shoulder. Growing up, I probably never noticed but now that I'm older, I do realise I get away with alot of things. ALOT of things.

  • Playing games... T_T
    - When I was 8, I used to wake up at 6AM in the morning JUST to play Monopoly with my sisters. When I was 12, I used to wake up at 8AM in the morning to play Pokemon with my brother. Now that I'm 22, I stay up until 8AM just to finish a game.

  • THAT I'M GONNA HAVE MY OWN ROOM SOON.
    No, really, that's the only purpose of this post.

Sometimes, I think my alcoholism is unparalleled.
At my cousin's wedding, I didn't remember coming home.
At the graduation party, there were pictures I don't remember taking.
Yesterday night, I don't remember getting to the car.
Now, it's not as if I don't remember EVERYTHING.
I just don't remember some things. (Gimme till tonight, it'll come back to me)
I do remember being fantastically lost with Claireeey on the way home.
And my night vision is shit so I tried looking at road signs but everything looked fuzzy (and not warm)
AND, I remember Ing Hou being fast asleep.
Am I right, Claireeey?
However, I'm pleased/not pleased to say that my OCD is a tad more neurotic when I'm high.
I awoke this morning to find everything in place.
When there's no alcohol in my system, everything gets thrown around..
However, this new-found OCD of mine didn't apply to my clothes which were lying on the floor in its usual manner.

Ivan's naked.
Every once in awhile, he'll just kick off his clothes and prance around without 'em.
And he's so adorable.

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

I really like this.
It's 75.50.. pounds, I think.
From The Black Angel..

Saturday, September 11, 2010

I suddenly remembered all the weekends Nut, Shari, SJ and I spent watching movies, shopping, eating etc. in MidValley.
I remembered the clothes we use to grab to try on... and boy oh, boy.. I won't wear all that stuff now XD
Being typically kids, we would hog the phones the night before discussing what each other was wearing the next day.
We would plan all week long.
It seemed like we only lived for the weekends.
Which, in a way was true.
Ah, I kinda miss all those weekends.

Suspicious activities...

... if nobody else has realised, there has been strange crap going on in my tagbox.
There is four weird messages that is just giving me strange vibes.
Anyway... this blog is gonna go private.
Until I decide to un-privatise it. LOL.

In the next few hours/day(s), please leave me your e-mail address so that I can allow you access. Failing to do so will result in... well, no access, of course.
As long as you read it, send me a message over MSN, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Don't worry. I won't laugh at you for reading my blog.
(Although, I will question the appeal..)

And if the four senders of the strange/nice messages are not bots, droids, programmes, aliens, zombies or automated self-advertisers... uh, say so. Okay?

Sunday, September 05, 2010

Today's memory is...

... the time when SJ and I were obsessed with Avenged Sevenfold.
Our love for them at that time was during the release of City of Evil and it was more intense than it is now.. (and our love for them now has me walking halfway across Sepang to get the special edition Revolver magazines, with them on the covers, out of customs).. so you can imagine the intensity of that obsession.
Anyway, SJ is also somebody who likes Good Charlotte.. as opposed to me who has more than a few words to say about them.
She messages me and tells me that Shadows and SynGates is featured on the song The River.
So I break all my rules about Good Charlotte and listen.
It was a decent song.
I actually liked the vocals and the instruments.
I was changing my opinion about Good Charlotte when all of a sudden, Shadows and Gates come on and seriously, to me, they totally pwned GC's ass with that short few seconds.
It's like listening to Backstreet Boys and have Avenged Sevenfold interrupt.
Seriously.

The other thing is, Ferrari is totally pissing me off.
I'm sorry.
I know there are countless Ferrari fans out there for I see the sea of red at every GP.
The problem is... there seems to be this obvious bias-ness whenever Ferrari is involved in some form of scandal.
First, we have the team orders and all they got was a $100,000 fine.
Seriously?
Now, Massa was so obviously a few feet past his grid line in Spa and they're taking no action? This wasn't even before the warming lap... this was before the race officially started. Which means he gained a few feet on the driver next to him and is technically a jump start.
And that Whiting person, who so quickly pointed out Alonso's previous jump start said he didn't notice it? Was he taking a nap, or what? Then he says the sensors didn't notice it.. and so the only action they're going to take is to make sure what went wrong.
Oh come on.
Ferrari is making the sport a little less fun for me.

Hitz.fm playing loads of Raya songs that I like.
The other day it was M. Nasir. And, since young, I've always loved that song.
I remember working the Petronas event in KL Convention Centre and one of the performers was M. Nasir. I lurked outside the doors of the hall where he was rehearsing just so I could see him sing live. XD.. Needless to say, I got loads of strange stares because I was supposed to be setting up and here I was standing by a door just doing nothing.
Perhaps, I really do like M. Nasir's songs.

Slight pic-spam of the 29th and the 30th

Gonna miss this lot

The Nottingham Trent emblem has disappeared on my certificate!
:O
Should've ordered clams that night, HUH?

The next picture is baffling to me because....
I didn't know this shot was taken because I was initially pulled in without prior notice and hence, my awkward position. I do recall the shot after this one being taken though...
And word up, I'm actually pushing him away.. not 'snuggling up' as my sister called it.
I almost feel sorry for John for her misunderstanding XD

Friday, September 03, 2010

I realised in my previous post, I forgot to mention CLAIREEEY.
I mentioned her alright.. I just forgot to elaborate! So here goes - Claireey Beary Happy Bunny, was the final evolution of her nickname.. by me. She was probably the first of the LOT that I really got to know, under the giant bucket in Sunway Lagoon after Alex's singing competition. She's the only other banana that I knew (besides Nut, Kason Jang and Joshua, who left halfway through). Due to me being a scatterbrain and a forgetful duck, I ended up relying on her plenty for everything. Be it lecture times, deadlines, assignments and even "Are we really wearing all white tomorrow?", I was always calling her, texting her, tweeting her and Facebook-ing her. And she's always patient with me although, sometimes, she gets sarcastic [:(]. But I love her very much because she sits through my endless speech-parades about Toshiya, Gundam, Sci-Fi, games, music, manga, anime etc. etc. without understanding much but without much interruptiong either. She 'layans' my shit better than most people I know. And although I know she complains I'm bossy, YOU STILL LOVE ME AND YOU KNOW IT (/caps)
[Yes, and I love you very much too. And I will still visit you after we all start working even if you live so far away (10 minutes when jammed, 5 when not jammed and 3 when all traffic lights are green). Don't forget me~ *waves hanky and gazes longingly at you through teary eyes*]

I just read THE most stupid line on Twitter, EVER.
Not going to mention who or what posted it or even who retweeted it.
Majority of girls improve their looks, NOT their minds. Because they know that some boys are stupid, not blind.
And THAT, my friends, is why some girls are completely stupid.
To think that they improve anything to please/attract boys... makes me speechless.

I found a post-it note that has been buried under many post-it notes around my computer and it says "Force No.05 Arashi Knight Tallgeese".
I know from my knowledge that this refers to a Gundam plastic model.
And I know, from knowledge as well, that Tallgeese = Gundam Wing.
Now, what I don't know is what in the name of all ducks is 'Arashi Knight Tallgeese' and why is it Force?
Anybody can tell me?
(It also reads SD and 1/144... but SD Gundams don't come in 1/144 scale!)
I am now confused.

Wednesday, September 01, 2010

Reminiscing~

I always wondered, what would life be like now if I had the opportunity to study in Singapore like I originally wanted to.
I will probably never refer to it as a missed opportunity because spending the 4 years studying my 'second choice' is probably the best four years I've spent in any school.
I breezed through my primary and secondary years by sleeping and constantly getting into enough trouble to keep me out of classes.
I didn't have the luxury of doing that in college and I realised that life was much more exciting when one was awake.
I went into college knowing only Nut.
A month later, I got to know the rest of the people who I remained closest to until the end.
So this goes out to everybody who made my four years in college nice..

The one thing that I've felt thankful for all these years is Nut.
And I mean 'thing' in the nicest ways possible XD
I'm kidding.
But yeah, NUT. Even before we started our first day at school, another girl introduced me to Nut and thus, the friendship was born. Don't you just love how easily kids make friends?
I sat next to her, I remember. It was a cluster of six tables, three facing the other three and Nut and I sat on the right side of the cluster. Nut was at the corner and I was in the middle and next to me was a girl named Aisyah/Aishah. Opposite us was Ain Aqilah, Nurul Atikah and Rachel.
See, my memory serves me well, sometimes.
Nut and I fought EVERYDAY. Because I was bossy and she was easily bullied. We'd fight and make up every 5 minutes.
The friendship lasted till Standard 2 but when we got sent to different classes in Standard 3, the friendship pretty much stopped there. Still, everytime I met her, we'd still be able to talk like normal people without any hints of awkwardness.
And it was that way until in Form 1, I landed up in the same class and she was class monitor.
In Form 2, we were still in the same class and she was seated behind me.
That was when we really went wild.
Whatever happened in Form 4 will stay in 2004. I don't think any of us meant for it to happen and I suppose it's just kids being kids.
However, in Form 5, she called me out of the blue and said she needed help with cheerleading and I agreed to it.
It was while we were choreographing dances that I asked her "What you doing in college?"
She said "I'm thinking Interior Design"
I said "Me too.. What do you have in mind?"
She said "I checked out KBU, they look okay"
I said "Hmm"
When I decided on KBU, I signed up and texted her saying "Just signed up in KBU"
She texted back "Serious? I'm on my way there now"
I said "Doing diploma or foundation?"
She said "Foundation"
I said "We gonna be in the same class?"
She said "Cool"
On the first day of college, we sat in a kopitiam and had breakfast.
And on the first day of classes, she pointed out a guy in front of us and whispered really urgently "Oh my God, that guy has nicer nails than me what the f?"
That guy was Raymond.
The guy whom I got to know a month later.
Always knew he was 'special'.. and he turned out to be so. He's the most infuriating, irritating and annoying person I've ever known and I mean that with all the love I can muster for you. He saved my life during a submission in the first semester of our final year and for that I will always be grateful.
He is one person I always use for an example of being comfortable with yourself despite the obvious difference and sometimes discrimination. I am proud that he is proud of who he is.
But seriously, dude, gladiator sandals are so yuck. [XD] There's a reason why we associate those sandals with the ANCIENT Romans. Because it should've remained ancient.
Along with Claire and Raymond came knowing Thingy. His name isn't actually Thingy.. Thingy is what his Chinese name sounds like when said really fast by a banana (Chinese person who doesn't speak Chinese) and he is the bitch extraordinaire. Do not mess with Thingy for he will out-bitch you at anything. (And I'm still threatening the lives of your beloved turtles, okay). Thank you to him for 'layan-ing' us when we go to Klang on our roadtrips.
He and Raymond should stop accusing each other of 'pretending'. It has been 4 years, haven't you guys had enough?
Somehow, sometime, somewhere.. I got to know Ting Fung. Easy going person with no issues whatsoever. And somehow, sometime, somewhere... We decided that we were all married to him (We all being Claire, Raymond and I.. with Nut acting as the mistress he keeps at the side)... and surprisingly, he played along until the end. At the party, he randomly asked me "What do you want me to give you this month?" and I yelled back "2k and a new house" and he was all "OK"... I wish. But I seriously get this feeling that he's gonna get married sooner than most of us will XD I'm not too sure why.
The one thing I love about my class is... somehow, I get the feeling of total closeness without needing to try too hard at it.

To all the drinking buddies that I discovered later in life... SeoHun, Rafe, Yeow Long... and uh, whoever else drank with us that night (I forgot :S).. let's keep it up. May our livers survive the abuse.
To everybody else leaving for Singapore or wherever.. keep safe and come back next year for our 'annual' get together.. if we even manage to keep to it.
To all FCA19-ers, lets not forget colour matching, SS-ing and playing sports indoors during studio time.
To everybody in the degree class, lets not forget sleepless nights, UHU-stuck fingers, spray paints and model boards.

:D
