Love and peace~ as Vash says

Loath and peeved
Whatever, doesnt make sense.

How fun is it to spend a cooling friday night, reserved for watching anime or revising for the 'O's, researching on J.S Bach's fugue composing style??
I shall tell you how fun it is. Yufei, you and wenyi love Haydn right? Well, stay away from Bach cos he's mine now! Not to mention Chopin and Debussy. We're having quite a party here.

I want to break my finger or something so that i will have an excuse for not doing my research on the pieces that i will be playing on the piano tmr. It's my fault for doing last minute stuff, but i really have no interest in learning more about the 'gay' composer (oh wait, that's some other composer, not Bach) but still... My eyes are tired T__X

Interesting fact 1: Bach is a great piano tuner
2: Bach married his 2nd cousin, had 7 children but only 4 survived to adulthood
3: Bach married another lady after his 1st wife passed away. They had another 13 children and this time 6 survived to adulthood.

Wow Bach is ... wow. 20 kids in all. I don't think my piano teacher will be too thrilled to know what i've learnt. I can already picture his face, the 'ku xiao bu de' one. He's a really nice guy and very inspiring. Ah, and he doesnt make me feel as if i play like crap ^^ I witness the patience and kindness of mankind after every piano lesson.
Oh yes, i also found out that Mozart and Haydn were really great friends. What a classic.

AVE MARIA (ah.. schubert again) Nothing, i just think it just sounds nice for a conclusion =l

OH NO

Went to Kino yesterday and bought Eclipse, Trinity blood book 5 and 2 random manga i happened to spot. The titles are Vassalord and Lonesome eden.
Don't look at me like that! Mum was bugging me to grab the manga and go home so i didn't have time to analyse the titles and stuff, just the coverpage art work. I'm kind of regretting my choice now. While mum was driving, i was worrying about lonesome eden. I didn't even see the title carefully untill i was in the car and i'm seriously worried that it may be hentai or something else........

For Vassalord, it seemed pretty good. Action packed and bloody haha. Was getting more info on the net and the 1st vassalord website i went to said
'Story: Charley is a cyborg vampire Jesus freak who does the Vatican's dirty work. Johnny is a vampiric hedonist who loves irritating his more-or-less unwilling partner. Technically not yaoi, but almost.'

Urgh!! I'm not allowed to remove the plastic wrapping untill exams are over. That's so sad. I badly want to read trinity blood book 5.
Oh well, everything shall be revealed after november 13.

*licks*

Prelims are finally over (saying this 2 days late) and went bowling yesterday! No pictures yet, so shall briefly mention what happened. Went to marina square bowling arena , er, where was it again? Had a $10.50 lunch which made me so full that it was hard to walk. I don't have any hidden talents for bowling, sadly T_T
Yufei, claire and i were the beginners and initially, we kept rolling the balls straight into the gutters LOL After receiving lessons from Alicia, Anying, Huiyan, Naomi, Yuhsuan and yangzhi, Claire got the hang of it and she scored 60+ points in just her 2nd game!

Yufei and I: O_O *carries on feeding the gutters*

Haha no lah. We improved alot and yufei even managed a strike! After 2 games, we walked around the stores but the things were too expensive so i didn't buy anything even though the Bleach puzzles caught my attention =P

Yangzhi pierced her ears and she held on to my hands the whole time. Ah how romantic, like giving birth. I want to get a 2nd ear hole, but mum made it clear that she would kill me (or something along that line) if i pierced another before 18 =(

I bought trinity blood book 4 today! And jiahui informed me that saiyuki book 7 has been released in singapore. So i'll be getting it along with eclipse by the end of the year. Such a long wait... but it will be part of my motivation to live through the terrible exams hehe

Made this last friday, showed it to fausty the moment it was done and she laughed alot =D
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Hunter x hunter

I'm making this post for a reason. Stumbled upon this website which read ' Marriage prospect: Shalnark' Erm, well, with darling shalnark being my laogong, how could i not take a look?

HORROR HORROR He already has 2 brides! X_X Only one more slot left so i'm determined to get it. And i've got to make a post (not just the title; but a sypnosis, a review, a fic, an art... in short: a sign of "devotion" -- what would the marriage be for anyway?)
I shall have to leave out the art part or everyone will be seeing disfigured stick figures.



Sypnosis: Hunter X Hunter starts off with Gon Freecss taking part in the hunter exam on a quest to find his father Ging, a legendary hunter. In the process, Gon meets Killua, kurapica and leorio, 3 other very different guys with the same aim; to become a hunter.

The second arc follows Gon and Killua as they learn the usage of nen at the celestial tower. (I almost died during this part while reading the manga, so many words! X_X) Gon also visits Zaoldyeck Family and successfully 'rescues' killua and the two of them continue on their journey.
An informative section of the anime where the concept of nen is introduced eg the different general abilities and such

We move on to the Genei Ryodan story arc, where Shalnark is finally introduced, along with the remaining members of the genei ryodan XD. Kurapica's revenge on the spiders was not an easy one, though he managed to kill off Ubogin and Pakunoda T_T This part of the story focuses on Kurapica's brilliant schemings to destroy the spiders to revenge his clan which was slaughtered by the spiders many years ago. Kuroro (leader of the genei ryodan) was captured by kurapica and had his nen ability sealed, thinking that without a leader, the spiders would surely perish.
Definitely the most exciting part of the anime. It had me gobbling up manga after manga.

Greed island story arc, also the OVA. Gon and killua learn of a seemingly-magical video game that sucks its player's physical bodies into its own world. Gon later realised that his father, Ging is one of the creators of the game, making him even more determined to join it. They meet the Bomber, who kills off players by placing a bomb on their body.

The Chimera ants story arc is incomplete. Gon and Killua, along with Kaito and a group of hunters investigate an insect leg which was washed up shore. This leads them to the island of Neo green life (NGL) where they suspect a giant queen chimera ant and her group of man-eating insects are killing off most of the human population. Kaito was killed T_T but brought back to life, joining the chimera ants. The chimera ants, very unfortunately, also developed the nen ability after eating some hunters.

Will gon and killua be able to destroy the chimera ants and save kaito? No one knows cos Mr Yoshihiro Togashi went on a hiatus.

In short, Hunter X Hunter is a beautiful series with touching friendship, action and humour packed into 60+ episodes. Fantastic music too, definitely worth watching.
