It rained really really heavily this morning.. I allowed myself extra 15 minutes of sleep and woke up at 9.15am.

Oh man, it excites me to have my blog visited by ppl i dont know and especially if they leave comments XD What i meant in the previous post 'mouryou no hako was typical of a clamp production' was that it contains hints of romance between the same gender. But since CLAMP was only involved in the character designs, the shoujo ai part has to be a coincidence huh? Anyway thanks to anonymous i've cleared my doubts on mouryou no hako! =D

I've got to make a trip to school for OP dry run 3.. how troublesome but if neo offers his time and suggestions, we've got to make full use of it. Jiayou NJ069! 3 members still owe me $7 from the printing of written report X_X broke!
Yesterday Mr Ho showed us a dvd of Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra performing our SYF piece. Let's just say 'Oh no!' It sounds grand, like a movie soundtrack but gosh the running notes. Throughout the entire piece and accidentals everywhere! Triplets, chromatics @__@

Sherin wanted to see this XD everything is just FAAABULOUS!!


From hxh. I think Togashi had some trouble coming up with chapter 284. It's ok, i still love hxh XD

Happy deepavali!

Watching Mouryou no hako, this anime adapted from a clamp manga. Erm actually i'm pretty confused about it's origin but it has potential XD Mixture of horror and action. Cool opening song by nightmare. This guy also sang Death note anime songs.

*Edit: Read comments for more info about it's adaptation. Ignore the 1st sentence

There are so many cool anime to watch this season, so many that i'm going to be very strict in my selection. Seems that the only romance anime which got through is Earl and Fairy. I dont even know what it is about =X hopefully nothing too corny.

Gundam 00 season 2 is coming out. Nodame cantabile season2 is already out and i've watched 2 episodes. Kinda boring T__T i hope it picks up soon or i might stop following. Skip beat anime is out, not surprising since the manga was so popular.. might watch it if i have the time.
Blades of immortal.. it has the best storyline among those released recently but the anime is a far cry from the manga.. i dont feel like watching. Love the ending song though, 'wants' by grapevine XDD
Kurozuka, like blades of the immortal, belongs to the more gory genre. But the 1st episode of Kurozuka got alot of O_o reactions from me. I dont see any purpose in the violence and the graphics arent nice =( So it's thumbs down for now until something more exciting happens.
Garei, another anime with potential haha but somehow i dont feel like watching it. Same goes for Yozakura quartet and Shikabana hime. Cos they all seem so cliche T__T Will only watch when i have the time. Jigoku shoujo mitsuganae.. Won't watch it since i totally ignored the 2nd season.

Ahh how could i forget Kuroshitsuji XDXD the black butler, charming sebastian. To be honest, i got to know about this manga at the start of the year cos i saw a girl reading the online manga in school. The art looked so attractive, i strained my eyes to read the title.. from like 2 computers away haha. Glad the anime's out =D
Mouryou is scary O_O and it's..... typical of a clamp production. Ok no more comments until i finish the 1st episode =X

Visited the library yesterday, it wasnt very crowded but i couldnt find any seats. Had to settle for some random place in the middle of nowhere. Could only borrow 4 books T__T the borrow-8-books thing only starts in nov. Good news: I think i will enjoy all 4 books, good choices this time. Bad news: I've already finished 3 of the 4 books and it has only been 2 days!

If you guys decide to try some of the anime i listed above, bear this in mind: Shoujo ai or even yuri pops out unexpectedly X__X

Edit* Dam reverse harlem. Should i continue watching earl and fairy? Cliche romance but oh bishies and the fangirl in me! XD

I'm tired

I'm a lazy girl.. did not post for quite some time
Will be visiting the library tmr and hopefully i'll be able to find lots of books to keep me off the comp. I've been using the comp way too often these few days.

Visited OCS the other day and i shot at targets using a super heavy gun! My arms were still aching 2 days after the visit X_X It was tough lifting the weapon up, and even harder to aim by looking through that hole-with-a-crosshair thing. Anyway, pictures! =D

This picture is quite cool! Cos you can see part of the gun and i dont look like an idiot

This is what i mean by looking silly. I look hunched. Hunch-back of NJ -__-

Also went to Pam's house on friday with Bao. Rushed home after op dry run to bathe and took mrt to bishan. Then took bus 410green to pam's house. We cooked chocolate panna cotta and spaghetti!! It was super fun and i loved eating the panna cotta whee~ It tasted great even though the 1st try was kinda a flop since the chocolate was still in liquid form.

I think that was bao trying to twirl the spaghetti. FAIL XD

The most successful attempt at getting the panna cotta out of the container which it froze in. Looks yummy right! Wahaha Bao pam and i ate 3 of these with mashed raspberries and vanilla syrup we made ourselves!

Then Pam kinda forced us to go into the deep dark and evil jungle at macritchie near her house. Aim: To feed turtles and fish some bread. WTH i was really reluctant to risk my life just to feed things i hate but we still went in anyway. And bao got bitten by mosquitoes even before we stepped into the forest XD haha

Reading bokurano. I will stop soon. It's super depressing and the art isnt even nice. Dang, every one is just going to die. I dont want to continue anymore.

No school today

But i have tech run and some pw talk in school tmr.

Yesterday was entirely lost to project work. But it's worthwhile cos my group's written report is finally completed and i'm satisfied with it. Met up with groupmates and went to national library around bugis area. Zhung how didnt go =( I actually feel kinda slack for pw cos my group has never had an external pw group meeting before. We used to do everything during pw lessons. We're quite an efficient bunch, considering how much we've done haha.
The library was freezing cold~ it was raining quite heavily and i was the only sane person who brought an umbrella. Offered to share it with gowri so we were more or less dry but the guys had to run in the rain. Kok Wah stuck to his weird idea of not running in the rain. So he looked as if he washed his hair after we reached the library.

Did pw from 3 till 6+pm. The guys stayed to have dinner but mum has already cooked and i felt quite drained so went home 1st. Gowri was a smart girl to leave around 4pm for tuition.. intense pwing is really tiring XD
After dinner, switched on computer and did pw again. Substantiated and explained stuff here and there. Only Henry was online T__T 2 brains= slower progress but yay! NO MORE WR FROM TODAY ONWARDS.
Op's fine, Neo said to just add in more pictures and be more familiar with our scripts.

I'm hooked to 'Wants' by grapevine. Ever since the 1st time i heard this song on gendou radio. Taking special interest in this band Grapevine now. Dont think they're as awesome as Chemistry but there should be plenty of good songs =D Grapevine is a rock band formed in 1993. Wow i've not listened to rock music for quite some time. I wonder how old the main vocalist is, he still looks quite young XD

What motivates me to blog-- Hunter X

Was about to leave a tag saying that i'm lazy to blog. Then i saw that hxh chapter 282 has been released and i was like 'OMGOMG I MUST BLOG ABOUT THIS' haha so yeap, motivation for me. And i'm very happy cos i see clean neat drawings, not those sketchy lines. Thankyou Mr Togashi, i really appreciate that! =D

Supposed to be doing op stuff right now and maybe touching up on wr but i have decided to finish reading the chapter first. Too bad there are only at most 15 pages in each chapter..
Yay, I've significantly reduced the number or words in the wr by deleting a whole chunk of useless stuff and getting rid of flowery expressions haha. Hopefully my group mates will be ok with the changes i've made.
Ok shall end here cos i'm really quite lazy to blog

Sunday 5 October 2008

Only Hunter X can have this effect on me

The long awaited chapter 281 is finally out and it focuses on killua. I've missed you so much!
/T ^T/ Taken from the manga itself. Go killua! His hair still looks normal here but it became kinda weird in the middle.
Oh gosh i have so many pictures.. including funny typos from my notes. I only noticed them while mugging haha. Guess i'll leave them for another day.

Went to get manga with Janice yesterday after band! We had delipotato for lunch. The trip from nj to paragon didnt take as long as i expected but the amount of time wasted on getting delipotato was crazy -__- nevermind XD i enjoyed delipotato very much! Cos i've not eaten it for months.
Went to kino at taka and hunted for twilight which was moved to some ulu place. The price was still high.. i thought it had dropped to below $30 the last time we saw it. Anyway, went to the manga section which was quite crowded and got my saiyuki book7 and trinity blood 6,7,8 as planned. Wasnt planning on getting anything else (my poor wallet T_T) but who can resist the shelves of manga calling out to you XD So janice and i wandered around that area ooing and ahhing at random titles. I dont understand why the CLAMP books were placed separatly but i was kinda disappointed to see only tsubasa and xxxholic at the 1st clamp section. Not even X O_o
Went to another shelf and was looking at some prince of tennis manga then i spotted more xxx holic and tsubasa. I bent down. I saw Wish, a less known CLAMP title. I saw magic knights rayearth. I saw RG veda. AND THEN I SPOTTED CLOVER

KGN@$*&@LKKL@$#JF*Q#@$ Clover, which i've been hunting for since.. dunno when. I've finally found it! $8+ for one book which is thinner than the usual manga but it doesnt matter. Volume 1 and 4 are missing but it's alright too. I've finally found clover ~~ =D I've taken lots and lots of pictures of the precious 2 books that are now on my table but i'll post them another day so be patient k! XD So much for being out of print. I dont know why new books are being printed again but i guess clover manga should still be considered rare.

Oh dear i seem to be neglecting saiyuki. Here's a paragraph on it. Quite disappointing actually. I would consider book 7 a filler volume cos nothing significant happened. Goku went into his Seiten Taisei mode and fought with hakkai and gojyo who managed to get goku's limiter on again. Sanzo went off to look for nii to kill him so the gang kinda splitted. The drawing seemed slightly off standard and there was a lack of close up pictures which make the characters look so good. The previous volumes all had enough of these drawings, i call it the 'swoon factor' haha nevermind, i will continue to support the saiyuki reload manga and cant wait for book 8!

XD SUZAKU HAHA he should just go and die.

Yea please come back alive even if you die

Worse than terrorists, we have the badass air conditioner
