Thursday I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. Yes you heard me right ... am SOOOO dead. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Monday Nearly forgot kanji dictionary ... ugh must make list of things to buy on the 9th. BTW Ototo-sama, you'll be proud to know I've not smoked the whole week ^___^ ... imprisoned within my blood ... Ahhh ... forgot, must pick up cheque book, arrange dinner with old gang (10 years is a long time to not have met up) and buy felt to make Integra plushie. And pupil-san says the dictionary should have my picture under the definition for 'strange' *grumbles* ... imprisoned within my blood ... Hmm ... got quite a bit of sleep of late these last 2 days although my basketball remains dusty, my room remains horribly messy with my clothes and manga all over the place etc. etc. I did manage to try out the chocolate raspberry cake, or part of it. Not too bad. Need to work on getting an oven and on presentation. Found a manga that predicts what pupil-san will be like 10 years from now. *laughs evilly* Nii, you sound like you got stalkers. Saiyuki whinny Singaporean 15 year olds stalking you? Kami-sama, thanks for the tickets. See ya and Hakkai on Friday and hope you guys enjoy ya dance classes. Call me after class and if I'm around in the office, we might be able to catch a drink or something. I really have nothing much to say about this weekend. It was wasted but that in itself is not necessary a bad thing. Am starting to whine. Lily, if you're reading this. Read the Jap class ML (yes I like my intermediate class enuff to start a ML with them Em, I wish you better classmates in Elem 2 and Inter 1 to 4) - thinking of running our own extra-Jap class (gosh the "DA"). List of things to buy in Kino on National Day - Hellsing volume 2 Hot Tatics 2 Manga Jap advance books - $80 and $60 ones ^ ^;; Postcards Stationary Copic markers Envelopes Envelope seals Drawing papers New nibs etc. You know, my scheme to retire early is not going to work if I don't rein in the newly gained bad habit of shopping sprees. Want more clothes too ... some of my earlier work jackets need to be replaced and I think I'm getting fat *boo hoo* Ah scr*w it ... I'm going to bed and tomorrow can worry about itself (as well as my in-tray, it should really try strangling itself ^__^) ... imprisoned within my blood ... Sunday Murphy's law dictates that if you have lots of work, lots of homework and lots of things to do, thou shall wake up at 6. 6 pm that is ... and does my head hurt. I can't believe it. Am so dead. Nii, how was the test? ~ watch Kit die tomorrow PS: I just got my doujinshi from Japan - Seras outsemes Integra? Impossible ... ughhhh ... ... imprisoned within my blood ... Saturday Heh ... one week no posting, this is a record. Actually not much has happened unless you count being woefully sick. Have cheered self with fanart that I passed Nii to scan. Ganbette for testo yo! I will try to pass you stuff for ebay soon. Ehh, a parcel apparently arrived today while no one was home. My dad's going to pick it up tomorrow. You weren't expecting anything right? And Genjyo, ogenki desu ka? In this regard, BIGutter-ers, high tea anytime soon? Public announcement - Chrono Crusade 4 in Chinese, Bread King 6 in Chinese etc. are out in stores. Note to self: to buy kanji dictionary, to finish pleadings and start on affidavits and to bake cake over weekend in addition to basketball and piano practise - ehhh, jikan ga arimasen *sweatdrop* ... imprisoned within my blood ... Monday Had a good day. Met Aine, Alex, Kaori, Meia and Shi-chan again. Wow ... haven't seen you guys in a while (with the exception of Alex whom I met for lunch on Saturday with SF and Ange). Riotious yes but fun. Evil cat people, read your email and respond if necessary ... it was NOT spam. Jap class was hard today, I never had to struggle in elementary and intermediate classes but pre-advance is strange because you have a class of varying standards - some are very very advance because they've been here for 2 months and some are extremely advanced because they are just waiting for a vacancy in the higher classes but refuse to budge so their Jap won't get rusty and you have the freshies from the intermediate coming in. Bizzare really. The sensei is good but she's got an extremely wicked sense of humour. She's extremely strict. I wonder if she is going to transfigure into a cat in the middle of class really *laughs* There is a rather irritating little kid in class - very talented yes but almost arrogant to the point of unbelievable. When the sensei was trying to assure the freshies that we would get used to conversing Jap in real time i.e. because in elem and inter, the sensei-taichi were speaking extremely slowly, the bugger complained that he didn't see why they had to because he never had a problem and that he felt Jap was easy. Em, SF bet cha this is a "refreshing" change from the usual complaints Jap is too difficult. That in itself was not irritating until he repeated it, not one but FOUR times, yes people repeat after me "shichi". He's 13 so I don't know whether I should toss him outta the window or ignore the little puss ball. I am without doubt arrogant at the best of time but he does cross the line into insulting. I'm not a genius but I am not too dumb - while I can't stand stupidity I don't think slicing people down because they're trying to get used to something is liveable. Sure I get irritated with people who are trying to ask unrelated stupid questions and who are wasting time due to stupid questions or people who insist the class slow down because they are too lazy to read up before class but if someone's really trying it is too mad (his youth while mitigating does reflect the problems youngsters have nowadays). The best part is I do know what I need to say "so ... if you're finding Jap so easy, why didn't you qualify to skip classes and advance immediately to advance classes like ... who skipped pre-advance and went straight to advance?" That would be a low blow but a clean and extremely efficient one. I guess I'm going to ignore him unless he shoves his superiority in my face. Don't need one more sin on my shoulders and he is a kid but hey if he does push it too far, I'm not a person to back from a fight even if my opponent is a little boy. I've always believed that you should only pick a fight with people who are better or equal to you but I am a dirty cheat when in the mood you know *evil laugh* and it's not just me who thinks he needs a good stick pulled outta his throat. Or maybe I should reflect on the fact how I might have been irritating myself too? This is hilarious really ... and besides I've got bigger fish to fry - namely my happy files sitting in my office waiting to "welcome" me back on Monday. I know I should be a responsible girl and do work but I treasure my friends ... perhaps I'm not so cut out for this line of work but I have sworn I will not live in the regret of losing family or friends or loved ones "because I was too busy at work". All the money and recognition in the world cannot justify that @__@ (I must be getting high on my headache, I actually sound like Kouymou). Bel enjoyed Mai Maison too maybe I should suggest lunch there with her and Sooks one Sat ^__^ but her bosses being the buggers they are are unlikely to give her the decent break she deserves. I have decided I do indeed hate that firm she works at, that I used to work at ... bloody buggers don't treat humans like humans. To them, everyone's just a digit for profit. My new firm is fortunately, no where near that. I just hate it when firms become a factory ... in our line of work, it's ridiculous to make us work non-stop because when tired, quality will be sacrificed for quantity. But I'm swinging off to the other spectrum - work is totally undone ... oops looks like I should try to wake up early tomorrow. Have some papers to draft and have SOOOO ignored them - meep! Will let you know tomorrow night if I'm still alive :P I need to rein in my desire to party now that I am treated nicely. What a paradox really. It's like having escaped from jail, you're suddenly lost in catching up with all the fun you missed while doing time. Ignore me people I'm starting to rant and logic and grammar have long flown outta the window. So back to more important things. Yes siree, I want Hellsing fic, good Hellsing fic ... to anyone who writes a good Hellsing fic especially a bloody one or a in canon AxI (IxA) and better still both, I will kiss your blog/website/email address. Speaking of Hellsing I so have an idea for this blog based on fanart I will need to work on - Integra as a sheep beating up Alucard dressed up as a wolf. Comments? Finally, news for foodies. Qoo has a new pear flavor - yummy!!! End of reporting PS: Uhh, to the people directed here by the 2, 3 links from legal blogs webs out there, I'm sorry if you are looking for something more meaty but this is not your typical legal blog where I lawyer speak on life in the litigation lane. I'm not in the States so inevitably even if I lawyer speak, it'll be dry - sorry. In any case I'm barely sane so don't expect intelligent legal conversation here. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Friday Bleh, don't feel too good. Ate too much at dinner and I think there was some garlic :P coupled with the fact I was reading on the bus which was driving at puke slow pace and you had a groggy kitten step off the terminal at Clementi. I still feel the garlic - need smoke to clear it out blah. Anyhow, reached CC very late and oniichan had rushed off already coz he's got his house renovations to worry about. I actually walked pass him and he tried to call out but I was so sick I just slumped all the way to CC - only found out when I called his mobile to see if he could still open the store. Fortunately MY was still there and she was waiting for me to pop by. Heh, am such an idiot and holding them up Friday after Friday. Remind me to get something for MY ... owe it to her too. Got my books - suggoi. Oniichan took the liberty of picking up the series I collect plus a few new books he wanted me to try out and damn, he's good except this also means I'm getting predictable save that MY told me it's more like he knows I like weird ... I'm rambling, I better go snooze. Alex, Ange, SF ... lunch tomorrow? I so need to pick up my passport before they make me reapply ^__^;; ... imprisoned within my blood ... Ange that is NOT my quiz. I am not a vampire ... uh uh no. Okay I took the quiz but decided the answer was too humiliating. Garlic allergy and sun overdose sensitivity yes but no fangs and I can see myself into church when I can wake up thank you. Hmmm ... so when are we next meeting up gutter-ers? ... imprisoned within my blood ... Thursday SF - you might want to get acquainted with http://lawnet.com.sg (they should be giving out the complimentary free law student accounts at NUS still). ... imprisoned within my blood ... Wednesday Proof that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  ... imprisoned within my blood ... Read this if you can: Shigoto wa takusan kara atame ga itai desu. Zengyo shinakarebanaranai demo ashita made ni owarimashita ga zenzen dekimasen. Netai yo. Watashi wa shigoto o suru yori kaimono o suru hoto ga suki desu. ;__; Sorekara shinde mo ii desuka. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Gomen pupil-san, I left the phone on charging last nite not realising that the main switch was not on so by this morning, the phone was completely dead when you called as I requested. Noticed that only after 7:10 when mum (real mum) pointed out the fact the phone was dead. Gomen gomen ... Thanks to those who kindly called this morning to make sure I get to work on time _m_ (^ ^;;) _m_ ... imprisoned within my blood ... Tuesday Ahhhieeeee ... I love my Jap seller. The dear woman who runs "Gallery Black and Red" and who does one of the best young Walter dj around sent me the little head figurines of daddy and mummy dearest. The ones from Japan are much better in quality than the ones in Singaporean shops. Mummy's even got her tiny glasses and a cigar. Need to sleep ... shouldn't be staying up since I'm feeling ill and I need to get back in early tomorrow to make up from skipping out early today (plus I owe B so much research) but the delight at getting the dollies is too much. Daddy keeps trying to fall onto Mummy who keeps falling off in a different direction each time daddy leans on her. Finally kept them still by leaning them against each other but guess what, they then lean so deep against the other they can give my Hakkai and Gojyo figurines a run for their money. Does anyone know what's the effect of fraud in Order 14 applications? ... imprisoned within my blood ... Monday Yamasaki-sama has outdone herself again. Why can't I draw like that *drools and collapses over computer* Go look at the latest drawings on Solid & Etc. Oh yes ... must go to curry don place again soon ^___^ They gave me extra curry today *grins like crazy* ~ Or maybe it was so I would go away ^ ^;; Got lots of jap mail from my sellers - I should remind my sellers that while I speaketh a little Jap it is indeed a little Jap and reading long prosey letters are extremely painful for me. Anyhow, pupil san if you're bored and if you're dying to practice your Jap, you've got access to my Yahoo jp account. Ototo-san *makes chibi eyes* any luck that fic is "whipped" into shape yet. Sigh, am supposed to be doing work but doing all but work. ... imprisoned within my blood ... UGH!!! Received DJ in the mail. That itself is good. And one of the sellers (Hellsing DJ what else) with whom I'm dealing with the first time also happens to be the chairman / chairwoman of the SEARCH AND DESTROY event i.e. the Hellsing only DJ fair. Because I am such a magnet for omake, amongst others, I was given a copy of the souvenir book for this year's SND and as if I had not wondered what kind of idiot I was to miss the SND this year, I spent the rest of the evening so kicking myself for not going to Tokyo this year and ending up in Melbourne instead - this fair had ALL the Hellsing DJ circles I like - and while I love Hellsing I don't swallow everything and anything but she had the best artists with her in that event and I CHOSE TO GO TO AUSTRALIA INSTEAD OF JAPAN *breaks down and cries bitterly* Waiiii ... ugh!!! I hope Winter Comiket makes up for it - why why why? *kicks self in the back* uGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I refuse to be comforted until someone gives me an a**kicking cool as hell ice blonde English woman and a mean ugly as hell hellhound! ... imprisoned within my blood ... NEWS REPORT – 14 July 2003 Article by Joudan Kaiwanxiao Today a little Japanese eatery at the basement of Hong Leong building was surprised when a little slime monster crawled in at 12:30 declaring that it would require a reservation for 4 at one o’clock and that it would be grateful if the eatery could reserve 4 small bowls of curry. The cook exclaimed in surprise. “That little slime monster snucks around regularly haunting the bookstore next door. It probably tried to get curry for some people the last time but failed to and accordingly, in light with the ‘kiasu’ syndrome on this island, decided to make reservations.” The eatery in question is a quaint little Jap joint popular with the Japanese in the building. Most patrons are Japanese with a smattering of locals, some dragged in by the little (or actually not so little because it appears quite pudgy anyway) slime monster. The curry rice, inari, chicken noodles and ten ebi are well recommended. The eatery serves iced malt tea on the house, which is an excellent drink to wash down the fiery curry don in this warm summer heat. After some attempts to communicate with the little slime monster, the cook learnt that it was useless, all the little slime monster could say was “curry don and inari”. The bookstore next door also fared little success in attempts to communicate with the said little slime monster. There are rumours however, that the unintelligent life form goes by the name of Kit on the internet, posing as a mad as mad person. The little slime monster was finally sighted crawling off towards a nice little cake shop mumbling something that sounded vaguely like “curry puffs” and “green spot”.  ... imprisoned within my blood ... Sunday Fun fun day ... sat at the Jap bakery and stuffed face with coffee, tea and bread as the buns came out of the kitchen piping hot. Sitting in a cafe bakery as they dish out fresh bread - truly great for the soul but bad for the waistline (and wallet). Then trot off to Chip Bee to have expensive water and creme bulee ... wah damn good you know (caught dad going on a stroll). CB is beautiful - I want to get a terrace there, rent is quite affordable and there's a balcony on which to smoke. Also want swing - nice ones outside the bread school there. Had fish noodles then and ended up having ice cream while lying on my back admiring cloud patterns - uh that sounded bad but I was just lying on the sit up bench in the exercise workout zone on the hilltop park at block 10 while polishing off a cornetto cone. My favorite cone too. The national songs are getting good oh no whoops, it's NTUC's latest ad. Ah Ange and SF ... can push back lunch by an hour? Contact Em - 12 is too tight for her so if it's one we can all drop by Ki-shun. I will try to get the tailor's address. Thanks for everything Em (story ^___^ and DJ) and happy moving. ~ Should try to start work earlier tomorrow. Finished a bit but should do a little more tomorrow so as not to tax self on Tuesday. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Interesting article for those minded - article taken from Straits Time Saturday July 12, 2003, H6: Lawyers, doctors bring the House down with their debate By Lydia Lim 'THE action at the first law-medical debate started with a thump, when the team from the Academy of Law placed a big pot containing a toy rabbit before the team from the medical Alumni Association. It was to remind the doctors of what they had said earlier: that they would likely be "boiled like rabbits" in this inaugural show down between the two professions, to debate the motion "Lawyers make better politicians than doctors". ... The doctors confessed themselves confused. They thought they had turned up for a serious debate but found themselves in the middle of a stand-up comedy act ... In stark contrast to their opponents' irreverent approach, the doctors were all earnestness and logic. They laid out five qualities that good politicians must have ... The lawyer's argument was far simpler: Lawyers are the scum of the earth ... [t]herefore, lawyers make better politicians than doctors. The judges agreed and declared "the scum" the winners.' Damn I should have gone for that really. Prof Lum who was one of the debaters was my tutor - she so rocks. This event sounds good no? Trust the doctors to prepare properly for the debate and for the lawyers to goof it up to milk the event. Sorry "noble fighters", "the scum" win ^___^ ... imprisoned within my blood ... And because it is somewhere I studied - My gut reaction is to stand on the side of the student. I'm not extolling his action but I find it hard to feel sorry for the teacher in question. You're supposed to be an adult. You take money to teach so teach like a professional damn it. I do empathise that a teacher's job is stressful but you want the job you have to do what's necessary. Yes, telling the boy off is one thing (assuming that he deserved it) but ripping homework and calling him names crosses the line. ~ It did happen in my class, not exactly the same thing but something similar. The GP tutor was a bully and he terrorised my class but for better or worse he found out that a pissed off Kit can be a horrible thing on your hands. I did agree it was not correct for JW to be doing Chinese homework in GP but considering it was her first time, she had to hand up the work in about 30 minutes, she was crying etc. I didn't take kindly to his threats to tear her Chinese homework up rather than let her off with a stern warning. Hell broke loose that day and if you ever want to see Kit yell a teacher out of the class and have the rest of her classmates watch dumbstruck, try travelling back in time and filming that. I'm not proud of it, bullying doesn't justifying bullying back but I would be kidding if I didn't say I felt quite good that day for the first 5 minutes. I think that if the relevant tutor was anything like that GP tutor of mine (not my earlier tutor who was a dear) she can just go cry in the toilet. I'm sure no one will be filming her there. Strange isn't it how bullies can react when bullied. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Saturday Have I told you how much I dislike my HK relatives? They come and instead of staying with their son who now works here, they stay at my place - the marked improvement is at least they go to their son's place to sleep. Once or twice is fine but my house is NOT your day care centre you old dunce. We would like our family time thank you very much instead of catering to you esp when you don't care how you inconvenience us. I hate this - is it me or am I the only one that says that even tho' you're abroad, your friends / relatives don't owe you anything. You have to take care of yourself and not trouble people to do this and do that for you as if they OWE it to you. I'm being selfish I know but this is happening on too often a basis - PEOPLE DO NOT OWE PEOPLE anything!!! If people do nice things for you it's a favor not an entitlement!!! And the old fart is sitting and talking to my gran while I'm bitching about him here - gotta go to work before I blow a blood vessel - stupid old fart! Maybe he should go home to HK like NOW!!! My dad is reading over my shoulder and smiling disapprovingly ~__~;; I guess we have no choice but to give my gran face but UHGHHHHHH!!!! this guy is a pest - who cares if you're supposed to be some nephew of my gran or something, you're imposing and you don't care and short of telling you to your face having dropped hints before, what am I supposed to do? Shove you out with a broom? My dad suffers the most having to put up with this nambly prick. UGHHH!!! I wish I had my dad's patience. I even played basketball in the rain to cut down the time I have to spend while this prick and his asshole son and daughter in law drop over - it's not a case of my dad likes to talk to your gran so I accompany him, the two assholes have never visited beyond the obligatory CNY visit and never called to say hello and even when they drop the old prick off they don't come and say to you 'I hope we're not inconveniencing you etc. etc.' and show no appreciation - THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S CHILDCARE CENTRE YOU SCRUTS!!! Off to work now *shooes self off compy* I'm ranting but I need to if not I might pour the tea over the old man's head >_< ... imprisoned within my blood ... Bah, hot night. Pity really coz it was cold and windy around dinner time but the wind has "left the building". Times like this make me miss Europe in late spring. That is PERFECT weather I tell ya: 12 to 14 degrees C. Pupil-san, otooto-chan *hugs and wails* Perversely ironic how I was complaining I was bored last week. Now I'm wondering how to clear the in-tray before hell breaks loose - nice, either bore me to death or scare me to death with the amount of work, right. This and the garlic incident convince me people are out there aiming to kill me so as to restore order and good sense to this world. BAH!!! Leareth, Reins - ignore those people, they're probably seeking attention. Anime lovers like their anime and we meet and group because of our anime interest, the fact some people don't like it and think anime is just a new assessory on the blog or block can go do whatever they want on theirs and leave us to ours. If you want intelligent conversation, it is a prerequisite you speak nicely with some sense and intelligent people will respond. It's hardly any use just bamboozing people with big talk that the world is filled with blogs that should be booted off because you don't appreciate them (I make an exception for non original rip-offs) coz if there's one thing I believe, we criticise that which we fear most in ourselves. Yeap, I have a great fear of being disliked ... so? What next? People taking others to task for blogging foreign languages on their blog or street slang? In the words of a once extremely hip one hit rap wonder in my quirky little island - "Why you so like tat" Yes including the Merlion maboh quip Masako, Reins and Leareth have now learnt, it is untrue to say us little islanders don't have a sense of perverse humour. Have I said what a cool guy oniichan is? Felt so bad tonite. Asked him to wait for me coz I was running late and he did and I didn't realise sis in law was in the shop ^ ^;; and coz he waited, all these customers refused to leave the shop on designated closing time thus ... gomen nasai oniichan and arigato for saving all the manga for me - I love this guy he remembers almost every title I have and what I'm collecting and what I want to get - uh, it's no mean feat trust me. Anyhow hanging around oniichan always puts things in perspective - he reminded me that at least my billing for July will look good and that I should survive this failing which it's not such a big deal because if I didn't get the billings I would be in trouble anyway - *glomps oniichan and sis in law* Was at the busstop reading Persona when this auntie selling papers asked me whether I enjoyed manga - told her I did and it was a great way to keep up with my Chinese. I don't profess to be great in the language but manga within these last 4 years has taught me more than the education system's attempted 12 years. It's interest I tell you - if something is interesting, people will learn. Can someone recommend using manga as Chinese textbooks to MOE please? HINT HINT ... I'm rambling but it's too hot to sleep. Haven't visited blogs in a while and I apologise. Work surfing is getting too dangerous - serious monitoring going on and serious evidence they are - it's a new WORLD conspiracy theory *runs off madly screaming* Should sleep have to send off some things tomorrow and finish up as much work as I can plus I want to squeeze in a game before I go to work - will at least be able to catch up with Bel for lunch and dinner - I remember the good days I called myself the "lunch lady" for the FSD lawyers. I like being with my friends - who else do you want to hang around with other than family and friends, gucci wallets? But just don't yell in my ear. I hate people who yell into my ear. And uh, as SF and Em will tell you, don't wake me up in the morning unless you prod some coffee towards my sleeping carcass with a ten foot pole - get extremely violent when woken up before I'm ready (there's a chinese or cantonese saying that some people don't wake until the sun shines on their butt. Tad distasteful in English but hilarious in Cantonese when I tell my gran that this must mean I run on solar power. Have I told you how much I love my phone? And the strangest thing? Sis in law has the same model but different color ^ ^;; Should I learn Korean next? Anyone interested? I am mad I tell ya. Good luck to me tomorrow tho' ... imprisoned within my blood ... Thursday Ototo-san promised me an I x A fic and a nasty one at that with blood and pain *cheers* - so here's to all you lovey dovery A x Is ... bah!!! Pupil-san, all is well I hope ... you were a little distracted today, daijoubu desu ka. ~ Need to work *clomps off* and ototo and pupil-san think my fic is weird ^ ^ ;; waiiihhh and we've got new DJ idea (if only we would sit down and put at least one in fruitition) sigh ... ... imprisoned within my blood ... Wednesday Pupil san when you said Koumyou sounds like "beloved teacher" who were you referring to? The Koumyou I know doesn't have a ponytail (anymore) altho he won't deny he's an ouji-san. Lunch sounds good. Anytime next week? Stop blaming your tea addiction on me - speak to my mum over there *points at left* and yes serrie, uncie poo writes porny fic ^___^ Charlie's Angels - hmmph. Got work again, enuff to keep busy am happy and am sian at the same time despite earlier complaints. I am the epitomy of whinny and unpleasant. Was most amused to hear some of the rumours going around about me from a friend today. Considering I'm not a "in" nor "cool" nor "hot" person and the fact I'm not particularly clever nor social (whether in a good way or otherwise), it was strange. What is there to talk about boring old me anyway? I know I'm my class' poster child for weirdness but other than that there has not been much talk about me - wait a minute or did they find out about my secret pot stash *rushes off to make sure stash is untouched* Well tell me if anyone hears of me lying dead in a gutter, that must be where I can pick up the remains of my brain ^____^ heh heh ... Had drinks and lamb chops ... high ... and am smoking herbal again, if I have to pollute my lungs, it might as well be with herbs. Ugh, should read reports that have arrived today :P ... imprisoned within my blood ... Monday Nice meeting ya again Leareth, Zhin, Masako, Reins, Alison, Xandra and Meia. Sorry Leareth and Reins but one hour in blistered shoes did not help my mood initially so hence the five minute out. See ya for lunch tomorrow so I can drag ya to Kishun, the second hand Jap store. Alex, Meia and I would like to take ya to lunch or something before you go off. And Meia, Aine, Jo and Kaori, if you need CC books, just buzz me and I'll buy it for you for reasons discussed with Meia - just don't spread it around okay (the reason tat is). Am tired ... attended KL's wedding today before scooting off to see cousins for high tea at Mezza 9 (not traditional English tea coz the place I usually have it was closed due to the PM's visit at Cafe Vienna but is a fusion tea that is quite good really), meeting dad and mum and then rushing off to meet the above mentioned. Need to sleep ... need to send bribes to doujinshi people tomorrow. Sigh ... ... imprisoned within my blood ... Sunday My wallet has won. I might as well save up for a nice phone for her come her birthday - or whatever PS 2 game there is on the market ~___~;; ... imprisoned within my blood ... Saturday Talk about the ironies of life. Bought a spanking new phone today but couldn't use it as I scratched my SIM card. Was about to freak coz I need to contact Reins tomorrow urgently and coz it's a new toy for crying out loud ... gave my old phone to my mum coz sick of its perpencity for scratches and bought a new one (on second thoughts I'll go sneak her new phone ie. my old one for a cover change even if my wallet is not in the mood coz feels evil giving mum something scratched like hell) AND GUESS WHAT? My mum's really old phone, the one that's so lousy she wants my not so old not so new samsung (considering my mum's very unfussy about her phones, that assures you her old phone is breaking down badly) is the only phone that can read my scratched SIM card. Copied all numbers on paper *phew* so sorry to people I've scared in my bid to recover numbers, in particular pupil-san. Had a great time today pupil-san, sorry for dragging you all over the island - I apologise *grovels* Must pack house, change mum's cover and do something about my SIM card, it's more than 7 years old - but my poor wallet *sniffles* Em, get well soon. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Received my Harry Potter today at 12 and finished at 4. Just in time too coz book 5 is now on a long waiting list at the office ~_~;; I however, want to buy the adult British version in addition to this American one (I collect the American version for the drawing at the beginning of each chapter but I prefer the formatting of the British one and for the heck of it I'll probably collect the children's cover on paperback. Note to self, still haven't paid Shirs yet). Strangely is it me or is this volume easier to read than volume 4 notwithstanding the length? I must beg forgiveness from Potter fans but this book while not bad is not up to the standard I was hoping from JKR. Some questions running thru my head as I read the book: 1. Ok I know Harry's ranting but don't just have Harry ranting, there must be some reason to it all right? Being shut up with uncle and aunty was distressing but still it takes more than hormones to rile a person up. 2. There could have been more play on his relationship with his aunt, making her sound like she has no choice but to comply with her bargain with Dumberdore makes me wonder if she gained anything out of it or whether she developed a conscience 16 years ago and now regrets it - this point I felt was glossed over even if JKR was saving up surprises for books 6 and 7. At least give me a clue - does she have a heart for her nephy-poo under that strict facade or is it really something forced on her? I really doubt it's a mixture in between. She either has to love him enuff to risk her Dudley poo or not so to decide her sister's son can be fish food for Voldermort's new pet - indifference is hardly the answer. 3. WT Fish about Sirius' death? Was it necessary other than to torture Harry really? It was like 'nah nah ni doo doo cousin can't hit me' then bam, I'm dead. What was Sirius doing? Wearing a bull's eye target for his disgrunted relative to hit him with? And what the heck happened to the death eaters ... sounds nice and pamy but these guys are serious wizards, the idea a few punks could survive them until the bigger punks arrived is hardly convincing. Now if one of the kids died, that would have been more heart-gutting ... 4. Where's the magic? Vol 5 seems to be almost Hollywood blockbusterish with its emphasis on action. I'll await 6 and 7 but if they're anything like 5, I do wonder if success spoils good works. But McG was damn cool. On more mundane fronts, it has been a strange day ... still slacking and still worried. Think I'm sick in the head but too much work I bitch, no work I bitch too. Posted http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1104394&chapter=10 go ahead, shoot it with your best comments. BTW I really rather have helpful comments other than the "you suck" or "I like this". Pupil-san has been most helpful with this ^___^ Tell me what you would like, what I should do - if you're interested in the thingee magingee yo. Just had coffee with oniichan and friends. Split the coffee on myself ^ ^;; and ended up with all the guys at the table passing me packs and packs of tissue. A even drove me home. I guess this confirms I'm a world class klutz act. I like hanging around oniichan and his kakis at the manga shop. They've got a really different outlook towards life that is (at the risk of sounding like a starstruck younger sis) so cool - nothing fazes them really and unlike the more conventional friends I have (sucks to stupid social crap about professionals being special - hogwash) they know what they want and how to go about achieving it. That's a lot more than most lawyers I know altho the ones that do know what they want are probably those who split out early or survive to the end. Darn coffee smell is still on me, then again it masks the other smell my mum would go ballistic against >_< I wonder when I will stop trying to kill myself. Oniichan gave me THE look when I expounded on my die before 30 plan. Why does everyone give THE look? I love life but I think the root to most if not all human problems is we live to long - thus increasing the period in which we can hurt ourselves, the people around us and the environment. I'm sprouting nonsense as usual. And I must close the deal with my Jap contact so it's pressie hunting time. The secret to life my friends as I've always expounded is keeping people around you happy I say. Oh, before I forget - here's hoping all Americans had a happy Independence Day. PS: Pupil san, Nii and kami help me out here. Do the words at the bottom of each post i.e. the pretentious 2 line poem I use after the entry of date and time to separate posts show up in white font? ... imprisoned within my blood ... Friday Conversation with aunt last nite: Me: I think it's an awful thing to live too long. Aunt: Agreed. More hot and sour soup? Me: Thanks. Don't you think human problems stem from the fact we live too long? Aunt: Yes. Me: I mean back in the good old days you'll probably be eaten by a lion at 35. You've had your kids, you've had your fun and your knees are weak so you get eaten before you get worse. Aunt: Right *giving kit that look* Me: Wat? Aunt: Nothing, I think you can have the rest of the gyozas (pot stickers). So I think I'm trying to kill myself in case I don't die by 30. Nii rightly pointed out that I do have self-destructive qualities. PS: Pupil san and Nii and Kami-sama, I bought black and white film and am going to do photo shoot of buona vista - you guys want to join me? Probably next weekend tho'. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Had another extremely unproductive day in case anyone's wondering. Point to note: Wardrobe - unpacked Passport - done Manga sorting - half done Buying tickets from Nice - undone Marked Chapter 9 - done (will be an egomaniac and upload tomorrow) Harassing pupil-san - done NB: Taiwan manga out only tomorrow but cool meeting uncle david tonite Gomen kami and nii about today. Queue too long ^___^;; This weekend is going to be packed - KL is getting married on Sunday so there goes the morning. Need to go to piano tomorrow as well as to get some errands run -__-;; and then there's the usual 'need to pack' problem. Clothes are stacked in cupboard in piles, not good. Aiyah, nearly forgot I'm meeting cousins for high tea on Sunday *slaps forehead* Am smoking too much and drinking too much tea and coffee for own good - bah! On the other hand, it was fun riding buses and disturbing pupil-san ... yes there was a time student bus fares were 15 cents and a time when bus tickets were issued in a myrid of colors AND no air-con buses Mhwahhahahaha!!! Ahem, I digress. Point is, you know what people, I do like being a bum :P And my Jap contact replied ... still sorting out commission but she's okay with the idea of forwarding mail - must ensure she continues being okay with idea. More prawn crackers? *EVIL GRIN* This could be the start of an evil doujin empire ^_____^ ... imprisoned within my blood ... Thursday To all AXI fans out there, please stop it with the fluffy romance and the kissie poo-ness. IF and IF Integra ever allowed Alucard to touch her it would not read like a Mills and Boons novel - skip the satin sheets and the lovey talk, it would be violent, disgusting and involve lots of blood and bullets. In any case Alucard got away with it and IF Integra got pregnant and IF she didn't abort the baby, it won't be a beautiful birth she and Alucard would coo over - no, she would give birth to a lump which when cut open would consists of eyeballs, centipedes and all sorts of monstorities and yes, one baby with creepy red eyes. ~ THE END ... imprisoned within my blood ... Wednesday Strange day being able to do all my errands without worry, doing all the things I did as a student. Must do passport tomorrow and hopefully catch pupil-san and kami-sama for lunch. ~ happy because collected lens and ate delicious gyoza and hot n sour soup at People's Park. ... imprisoned within my blood ... Tuesday Em thanks for the help. Pity about the 2nd one but with any luck I'll see it up for auction again soon. Silly Samsung ... but I still love their phones. SF, thanks for the coffee by the fountain and NO don't blog anything stupid or else *points at hellhound on leash menacingly* For anyone who is interested in my activities - today was another normal boring day, until dinner that is. Met pupil-san for dinner and after Nooching dinner, we went to Kino where I picked up my Raganok 3 (not loki). I'm reading weirder and weirder manga these days, gone are the days I read your happy normal shoujo or shounen stuff. These days, my manga involve gratitious loss of eyeballs, hands and other body parts or things growing outta your head when you least expect it. Levithian Volume 2 is absolutely outta this world. Ran thru the plot for Marked parts 2 and 3 with pupil-san and got the SF sama chop of approval *cheers* Not that it's going to be any less weird mind you ^___^ but I'll hold back as advised. No point in scaring the kiddies too much. I'm feeling lazy tho', that fic is fast becoming too long and it's not like (as pupil san pointed out) I'll be making money on it or YKO will be down my neck faster than I can say Hellsing. Not that it's going to win me any prizes too. *SULKS* But it's a good avenue to use up some of that weird energy stored inside my brain (which is building up due to weird manga I'm reading). I need more work to occupy my brain ... the more free time I have, the weirder I become :P And as pupil-san says, I write funny *sulks* AHHH ... it's too much Greek mytho I tell you. Walked home from pupil-san's ... I'm getting old. It used to take me 35 minutes, now it takes 45. RATS ... I could have shaved off some time by taking the shortcut between Farrer and Leedon but that road's too quiet even for the foolhardy like me. But happy ... been sometime since I've taken a long walk. I used to love taking darn long rides or walks. I tend also to meet people on such walks. As oniichan will tell you, I ended up meeting him because one day I decided to walk my friend to the MRT and ride with her until Jurong East ... somehow I managed to day-dream and when I realised I missed the stop I decided to take the train all the way to Boon Lay for fun. The rest of the story is history as they say. Reached home to find DJ from Cameratalk has arrived ... with omake *cheers madly* It's beautiful *gloats and dances happy dance* PS: Singapore is, I think, one of those places a girl can walk at about 11 pm at night and still feel safe - only problem is whether this general state of things are making us complacent about safety. PSS: Dear Blogger and ff.net, I love your changes, now I can see your sites on the imac at home. ... imprisoned within my blood ... ... how long will it be before I lose control ... how long will it be before he finds me? ... oh preserve my soul, preserve my pride Preserve my sanity thru this nite ... |
