Hello good morning everyone! I am currently having my mid-term break for a week, but (!) I am back to the hostel for a night and a day to solely focus on my assignments. 'Solely', to say, but well, who knows! Super long post ahead!
Spent yesterday mid/night chatting with friends via FB (sad, I know) and also practicing on my drawings because it has been a lifetime since I drew. I often look at my classmates and feel a tinge of envy because they have the mood to draw seemingly every time while I just spend my time in school clubs and events. Not that I dislike spending my time elsewhere, but I am hoping for a wee bit of alone drawing time, which I can get when I am lucky. Or when I decide to ffk my assignments. Yeah.
But being the perfectionist and assignment-a-holic person I am, I panic when I don't get enough time to do my assignments and each and every of them have to meet my standards. If I can, I give my best in everything, and its not easy. *cries* But I am hanging on and learning everyday!
Last week was Christmas. (I just had breakfast and am supposed to start working on assignments now, but... haha) And I bought some icing lollipops for the kids back home from USS~
Freedom to choose whichever they want :)
The truth is, I don't want any so I am trying to give it all out while I can... hahaha.
Last 2 weeks on a Saturday, we had Chill Run in school. Basically, you run a marathon (or walk) and you get to throw water balloons at your friends. Each participant were allowed 2 only at every station but everyone got carried away...
Let's start the picture story!
Early early
Assembled at 4am, ate breakfast and then was led to my station which was beside the lake.
After I was left alone, I started taking pictures of my surroundings.
You could say I was fascinated by the tranquility of the school in the dark; everything is different. Nature is asleep. Everything is peaceful and I just sat down and waited for Mr. Sun to rise and greet me. So I waited patiently.
Hello Mr. Sun!
Panorama shot of my station.
It was dark, so all the panorama pictures are blur. Even so, I like the effect because it adds a little surrealism into the picture. Its so candid.
Still patiently waiting for Mr. Sun to completely wake up~
When it is a little brighter.
This lake, I remembered shooting it on the night of Swimming For Miracles.
Waiting for the participants to arrive...
Omg I sibeh beh song!! Got this one guy that threw a water balloon at me and I don't even know him! I want to wipe the grins of his and his friend's faces. Was being nice to them, just smiling like I did to other participants, and then he just threw the water balloon at me. And it hit just above my chest, painful you know! You are going to pay for this.
/change station/
Mr. Sun shining bright like a sun while approaching noon~
Finally its over!
Back at starting/ending point.
Mr. Sun bedazzling the whole school!
Hani's hand photo-bombing Mr. Sun.
We had a water balloon fighting session where we separate according to the colour of our shirts. Participants are red, blue, yellow and green while working comms are grey. In all my determination, I am ready to seek revenge!! /cue flames/ When the signal to start went off, water balloons were tossed and thrown with such intensity and power that it looks like a water shield has been formed above us. @.@ I was awe-stricken and could only stare.
We ran to the middle of the battlefield to the big water pool with the most balloons inside and started throwing. It has been so long since I played so hard. XD When the water balloons hit my face, ears especially, it felt like I was getting punched mercilessly.
Then, I spotted them in the distance. Immediately I grabbed some balloons and started throwing in their direction as hard as I could. Die, die! (Omg so spartan.) Miraculously, several of my water balloons glided across the air and one hit his forehead right on. Right! I was so ecstatic - he couldn't have known it was me. /mission accomplished/
Sis and I~

After the tiring day, we went to Auntie Alice's church's Christmas Musical titled 'More Than A Show'. Talk about having a busy day.
Sometimes I look at myself in pictures and think, "When did I grow?" Do you get that? You just look at yourself and you realize you are no longer a kid anymore; you are a teenager. And soon, a young adult. Nevermind look young can already. *thumbs up* Heart must remain young!
Sisters~
I showed this to Giang and he was speechless cuz he couldn't tell who is who.
The Christmas show was nice. :) I apologize for dozing off at the parts where they give speeches. I really am very sorry about it. I was so freaking tired that it just came naturally. Normally my will to stay awake it very strong so I must have been too tired for my own good. OTZ Should reduce event participation in school. *sigh*
There was a song, 'Iko Anak Tuhan', that I love love LOVE!
On another note, the following week, my faculty had an art sale! Jared made some cute Pusheen models and I helped him promote a bit in my FB hahaha. He said sis and I are like his biggest client ever lol! Glad to help him but I reminded him that I only bought one. Maybe it seemed like a lot because there are two of us. XD
Bulbasaur Pusheen and Clara!
(I feel like Clara is slowly dying. *cries* I am trying my best so please hang on tight!)
Jared gave us discount because we are friends. /grateful/ Why are you so nice? ;_; I had said before I feel like getting the Bulbasaur and I think he remembered because when I went and bought it, he picked the Bulbasaur up right away. "You want this, right?"
He offered to fix my Bulbasaur and will give it to me another day. So now my Bulbasaur is in tip top condition! We also got an Ironman Pusheen for Giang.
I also bought a book which was SO WORTH IT.
RM3 only, non-fiction, and totally my type!!
If this isn't a steal, I don't know what it is. :D
Most of the books (95%) of the books that were for sale were boring. They brought out old books and sold it so I consider myself mega lucky to have found this!
Anyway, CF was last week and honestly it was the most unenjoyable CF I have been to. The management was like shit and it was so damn crowded I felt like fainting. Not to mention some unpleasant circumstances that happened to us during CF. (Think stalkers and annoying, leach-y friends.)
Hair before putting on wig.
Twin tails again after 4 years or so. :3
Before styling Len's wig~
It think it looks kinda cool.
How can Len bear to do this everyday!?
Its making me crazy and not to mention its my first time really styling a wig.
End product! Not as nice as I would have wanted it, but this will do for a first time.
Will strive to improve it!
On Day 1, it was just Joey (my cousin), sis and I. Nothing eventful, just trying to squeeze pass people whom were also trying to squeeze pass us. Felt fed up and decided not to cosplay tomorrow. Was planning to do Len from Immoral Memory, but then I thought about the costume and... meh. I want to go and look at the booths and buy stuff. And also to spend time with Lay Si whom will join us on Day 2.
Day 2's lunch!
2 Wendy burgers and a drink for RM5 - what a great deal!!
We also bumped into old school friends~
With Wenn!
We used to chat in the library whenever our classes happen to be in the library. The 3 of us would gush about anime boys and I remembered breaking my ruler because I was too excited talking about Tanuma (from Natsume Yuujinchou). First and last time I will fangirl while holding onto something. I am still keeping the ruler as of now; it brings back the good memories. :) And because I am attached to it, somehow.
Loots from CF!
I spent quite a lot this time, mainly because I prioritize quality instead of quantity now.
Some things are so, so precious! I bought a doujin and Shiomaru's album (I got the signed version!! And also a small handmade soap which I just love). I treasure these two items so much and it made me realize how long it has been since I treasured something this much. I was handling it with so much care it might as well be my baby.
After getting into uni and learning much more in the studio, I am beginning to see art in a different way. I used to buy original illustrations because they are so much more beautiful than fanarts (my honest opinion) but now whenever I see them, I see the time, effort and emotions they put into a single artwork. When they dream it up, when they draw the lines, when they made it alive with colours - it is happiness. Or sadness if you are drawing emo stuff.
And then, they materialize in front of your eyes.
The handmade soap~
I don't feel like using it ever. ;_; Just gonna smell it only haha.
TA----------DA!!
Below: Want act cool a bit.
So attached to this thing I wore it to sleep. :P We got it for RM25 which is such an awesome deal!! I saw some shops selling it for RM40. ;_: Next time I gotta save up money to buy the ones with the mittens!
Evelyn and Elena hahaha
Omfg I just spent like 2 hours writing this out. But! It was worth it. After seeing Joey, Joen and Yong Jin starting up blogs again, it inspired me to write. No la, actually normally I also wanted to write; just that I have no time.
Career Fair and Japanese Cultural Night will be held next week!! Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Will be performing for JC Night and I can't wait! /burst from excitement/
On Christmas, I wished some closer friends "Merry Christmas!" (in FB chat, unfortunately) and after that I deliberately asked for a present, not because I wanted one, but because I wanted to see their reactions. XD They knew I was just joking and then we had a great chat. Thanks, Christmas, for being a great conversation starter.
But this Edmund! He said he didn't mind getting me a present for Christmas and New Year and I was like "Noooooo, I am not serious!". He asked me what I wanted and I said I wanted nothing. Omg please I was just joking. Don't be so good. ;_; Maybe its cuz I helped him get the Hello Kitty pencil case the other time (in which he gave me back RM10 for the SGD$2 pencil case - what inflation). He brought up the present topic again the other day and said that he "should get me a present". I said it is not 'should'. I think it is more like 'want'. Now I don't know if he's seriously getting it or what. Oh God.
