Haha, this is like totally two unrelated events. Ikea is that a few days back I went to Ikea and I saw this super cute elephant there, I took a photo with it. However, If it were to be placed in my house, I would throw it off with a broom. Seriously, I have more than enough soft toys, well perhaps the fluffiness of the elephant threw me away, like I’m hugging my Elephant sis (Old hag aka HuiQi).


The fluffy elephant and I. (Photo taken by OLDHAG.)

Damn, my eyes seemed to be sore and puffy.
(When is it not puffy like a cream puff, you tell me?)

ANYWAY,

BEHOLD THE MAIN TOPIC OF THE DAY, AFA08!

However, the major topic of the day is, the GREAT, AWESOME AFA08! In which it literally stands for Anime Festival Asia 2008!

The overflowing joy is surging through my heart, radiating a very nostalgic warmth… Ahhh. (Passer-by: Oh shut up woman, get out from your LALALand.)

I still remember that my first official anime (the one that literally got me hooked) was Rurouni Kenshin. I was in primary school, chasing the 6 P.M. show in AXN. I could still remember the bad old days (when my English sucked like tomatoes, always failing like nobody’s business) and the day where I discovered my utopia – the world of Fanfiction. I started to get all obsessed, whereby I feel that it’s worse than being posessed, to the point that whereby the activities in my life was only eating, sleeping and reading fanficiton, and swoon over Kenshin’s pretty face.

He’s the first bishie that I could ever relate to… I mean, you see, I could also describe Kenshin’s face with my eyes closed.

“His long fiery tresses were tied loosely with a silk ribbon and his fringe shadowed his clean violet orbs which was glistening with peace, and warmth. His chin was slightly tilted to the top, and his lips curled upwards slightly. This time round, Kaoru noticed, her sapphire orbs twinkled merrily, a smile creeping up onto her lips as she held up her long, slender finger and traced his cross-X scar, he is really at peace.”

SEE! SEE! SEE! I told you! I could!

Oh my~ Kenshinnnn!

Lets swoon over Kenshin together…

Kenshin. (I just took this picture from the net.)

Kenshin. (I just took this picture from the net.)

Alright. >_>

Yep, after that, I was officially on drug. I was like a mini dinosaur on a rampage, breaking every television that I came across and was now fatefully, obligingly, without hesitation, stuck with lovely darling – MY COMPUTER.

Be amazed by the POWER of Internet. XD

Anyway, Anime-lovers out there, come out of your shell and be lovey dovey with your favourite anime character in AFA08!


Anime Festival Asia 2008

Hello peepos!
The great, awesome Qiqi is back again from teh trip to Night Safari’s Halloween Event! xDD

Anyway, I have not managed to take pictures of the so-called, ghostly, event, since I did not brought along a digital camera and my phone sucked. Hoho. Neither do I nor my phone has superb camera which captures in the dark. However, I took some interesting pictures. Damn, it WAS crowded in there, we took like half of the time there to queue up for the admission tickets. The annoyance of it all, man.

Once we were inside the tram, it had those scary effects, sound and all, with the guide’s hallucinating voice… (Oh scarryy~)

Saw a lot of animals! Had a close-in view with the elephants! The trunk almost touched Rin’s laps though. (She sat very near the edge of the tram seat. Serves her right for insisting to sit in the corner. xP)

This is one of the very nice view I took with my (sucky) camera. I found it very pretty, the color contrast and all.

Black and white. The mysterious-ness.

Black and white. The mysterious-ness.

Here’s another one, pretty lights… Orange with brown and black mixes well. :D

Brown, black and orange. Pretty.

Brown, black and orange. Pretty.

Ah, I almost forgotten, we went to eat at Bongo’s Burger. The food was quite nice, but I was not in the mood for food. I left like half a plate unfinished.

The counter.

The counter.

Here’s a very pretty photo of the drinks. I merely brightened the contrast, I particularly loved this picture.

Pretty colors.

Pretty colors.

To end this post, I shall end with a photo of RIN, the first time ever she allowed me to take a picture of her, after knowing her for like 6-7 years! Oh thank the nine divines above. x3

Rinie! Rin! ChaotaRin! Bestie!

Rinie! Rin! ChaotaRin! Bestie! She diao-ed me. ;-;

This is my RINIE! Cute rightt. XD Anyway, I have to watermark it, in case she DENIES the fact that I have taken her pictures after like 123819 years (more like when she 20+ yrs old?)… I have to keep it in order to blackmail her. *cackles*

(Hookay, I have to make this clear, this is the ONE and ONLY photo that I will post up on net (Rin’s, just incase she objected). No morrreee!)

For another slight info, we cleared two packets of Choco’s Mini.

Choco Mini.

Choco Mini.

Hoho. That’s all folks! XD

A lot of people have been asking me:

A: Eh, woman, simi dong dong course are you learning ah?
77: (Wa kao, why call me woman?) Digital Media Design lorr.
A: Huh? Simi lai de?
77: DMD is DMD laaa. OMG, torturous course siaa.
A: Simi ah?
77: Ah your head la ah.

That conversation is full of slang… which is undeniably hard to understand. Let me just do a simple translation…

A: Eh, woman, what kind of course are your learning?
77: (Ah, why call me woman?) Digital Media Design.
A: Huh? What is that?
77: DMD is DMD.
A: What?

Truth to be told, I am learning DESIGNING skills. DESIGN, as in the Oh-so-great-artsy-fartsy course. I kind of feel offended when people say that I’m artsy fartsy, learning business makes you business fartsy? She even pronounced artsy fartsy the wrong way. (Yes, I am talking about you. You said that in the car, did you not? Don’t use your accent-filled English to slapstick me, I can use English too, thank you very much.)

My course is about the ARTS, which literally meant using a charcoal to draw on a easel… I know some people don’t know what an easel is…

Teh holy easel

Teh holy easel.

B-but… what about charcoal? AHHH! I know, I know! The charcoal used for burning rightt? Haha, I am so smart…

Teh holy Charcoal.

Teh holy Charcoal.

This is the charcoal I am talking about. There’s a lot of types of charcoal too… (Which is like ultra-expensive? It costed like twothreefourfive bombs.)

I also learnt about Communication. (Oh, Qiqi talks! What a miracle!) Furthermore, I had Concept development classes, now having storyboard classes… Eh, chotto matte kudasai! (Sai simi sai? Want pangsai go toilet pangsai larr. -slang, please ignore.-) What is storyboard ah? Ah, you mean writing a story in the whiteboard? Oh my gawwd, how smart can I be… not.

This is a Donald Duck storyboard.

This is a Donald Duck storyboard.

Nada, doesn't belong to me. I grabbed it from the net. 

Please don’t start thinking how tedious it looks. IT IS tedious. Now I am learning MAYA! Woot, the 3D program. Now a favourite of mine! Below is a screenie of the table and chairs that I’ve made in class. I need to thank JEAN-ie for teaching me how to make the table, love her man, damnit.

The first table and chairs in MAYA.

The first table and chairs in MAYA.

I am also learning the software, ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR. I have a test next week. Damn. I am going to write nicely on my RESUME after I have graduated that I KNEW A LOT OF SOFTWARES! OHOHOHOH. (I am not a software geek, all right? I don’t wear cap bottle specs and I don’t look like this. –> @_@)

Ohhh ya, I have also learnt about animation! The Lightbox is such a fun tool!

Anyway, I seemed to have been giving a lack of updates on photos… Let me post some photos of the gang, now. :D

Teh talk-crap gang. Hoho.

Teh talk-crap gang. Hoho.

O___O;;; DADA’S MISSING!
I will make a note to post Dada’s picture when I have her on the camera. XD

Anyway, today is a speical day.
Because Rin passed her exams!
Grats, Rinie! XD

Be sure to send your words of congratulations to her!

Also,

I am going to Night Safari tomorrow! :D

I get worked up seeing these things… I hate to believe that the world is so frickking cruel.
There is a new SPORT in Canada and Norway, a SPORT which consisted of killing SEALS. DAMN. Cute, white, fluffy little seals.

Cute, white, fluffy furball.

Cute, white, fluffy furball.

It looked so innocent, pure and untainted like a beautiful lily. So, what’s the problem with those people and their new sport? Why are they so heartless, allowing the fluffy creatures to sacrifice in exchange for a new type of thrill?

Seriously, if this continues on, the seals will soon be endangered. Lets see, ten years down the road, there will be fluffy seals no more. Can you believe it? We humans should just leave them alone. Seriously.

Anyway, I checked up the net. It’s about the seals having a population explosion, hence the Canadian government’s giving people the okay to do the sport. However, did it not cross their mind about it being a little bit too cruel than usual? The ‘means’ they used to cull the population of the seals?

The Canadian government says the measure is necessary because the seal population is booming, causing the area’s stocks of commercial fish – particularly cod – to dwindle.

Seals eat fish, that’s the way of living. It’s a common food cycle.

What’s wrong with them? Even if seals’ population’s increasing, and the fishes decreases,
that’s common, though it’s understandable that seals’ population needed to decrease to sustain
food levels…

I feel that, what angers me is the fact that they have used such a brutal way of death for these
animals…

Those blood and gore… It’s beyond words.

Anyway, here’s the whole mail…

Email forwarded from Rin.

Yo!

*background musics starts* You’re way too beautiful girl, that’s why it will never work, you make me…

Oi, no!

*shows a look of pure annoyance*

Not the beautiful girl song… It’s just a greeting, damn.

Anyway, remember my love for Kuroshitsuji? I stumbled upon a Chinese forum that has all 22 GIFs for Kuroshitsuji’s ending… ANIMATED. XD

Here’s it~!

Sebastian’s daily chores:

First to tidy his clothes…

Then dressing up for work…

Waking up the other servants…

Then dressing his master…

Cooking for his master…

Serving food…

Making desserts…

Eating it…


Closing up:

Teaching his master…

Playing solo:

Looking through his works…

Working through Tea…

In bathing…

Out of the house…

Carrier (Literally)…

Going back home…

Ending the day…

So what’s my conclusion?

Sebastian's a great butler. I'd like to have such butler by my side too.
T_T Too bad he's only a figment of my imagination. Noo...

I think I’m the last in posting stuffs about new term… What to do? I slept for a whole day after having insomnia for like 3 days. O_o;

Anyway, new term was great. XD I saw the friends I missed seeing… JEAN! SHINGGG! LENNICEEE! CHRISSS! DADA! DMD08 Peeps! Last but not least, the all-too-awesome LTL3! The chair which I practically grew mushrooms on for a whole semester.

Alright… I was sad too say, I see the evil-queen-of-absolute-doom (Ms A. Soon) in Typo/Digi lecture today. I was so… amazed, surprised and seriously apalled. Why her? Oh the nine divines above… Whyyy? Qiqi did nothing wrong, whyyy the heavyyy punishment? Whyyy?

Kids have lost all interest in a certain module. The terror!

Kids have lost all interest in a certain module. The terror!

I also had Introduction to 3D Module… Went fiddling with Maya. A program in which I have absolutely nada, zero, hockie pockie experience in. Sighhh. Anyway, we did bowling alley (which amazingly DOES NOT look like a bowling alley) and a greek temple (what is that?).

Teh gang (Si ah bu excluded cuz she has to go find fwend) then went to a plaza near the Sunshine (you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you makes me happieee, when skies are greeeyyy) to go the highly infamous ArtFiendFriend.

However, we went to Plaza Sing’s food court first to enjoy a superb lunch… in which I forgot the food’s name. But hey, it’s the gravy chicken set meal in the Indo BBQ stall. If you’re looking for good food, why not give it a try?

Teh warriors of darkness then went to defeat the ArtFiends, earning an experience of $28+ each. Qiqi levelled up! (Too much RPG madness.)

Went home with Jean on teh same train. XD

Anyway, Jean’s opening a blogshop, it’s under construction.
Online shopping peeps, once it’s done, be sure to check it out.

Signing off.

Heck, I am so obssessed with Kuroshitsuji lately… I love the pairing between Master/Sebastian! (Though I am kind of neutral towards BL, I am hooked on this pair, despite the fact that it’s shotacon and BL!) I found Sebastian (the Devil Butler) to be yummy, but I found the master to be even yummier!!! *follows the BL-fangirls rabid scream*

Anyway, the anime for Kuroshitsuji is out now… Episode two and still counting.
The manga is out too! (5 Volumes and ongoing).

Due to the fact that I’m all too obsessed with Kuroshitsuji, I even took the initiative to pull out a page of the manga, clean it, and color it! (Though still not yet done…)

This is the work in progress piece… I LOVE TEH MASTER. >///<

Pretty master... XD

Pretty master... XD

Ah, this is going to be a long, dreadful post.

Anyway, first I woke up and went for work, but I was slightly late. Thank God boss never scolded me. Due to the fact that my sis went to have fun in chalet, I took up the load of teaching FOUR classes in 3 miserable hours. Imagine the hassle because I have to run from classes to classes and make sure that they are doing their work. WTF man, did my pay even increase? NAHNAHNAH.

The kids were slightly noisy, but still tolerable. I hope everything goes well for their exams, which fall on next week. I’ve already taught and revised what they ought to know and understand…

After my work, my parents came to fetch me to go to KK Hospital to fetch my grandma, who did Tubal Ligation… Because if she doesn’t, the chances of getting infection in the uterus would thus be increased. (Yaya, don’t be amazed by my biological terms, I haven’t forget my Biology yet, haven’t return to Mdm Juliana. XD)

Grandma was happy. O_O She said that there ain’t any pain at all. Wa, serious. I was kind of shocked, that is one strong woman out there man.

Grandma says: “Bo la, buay tiah.”
Qiqi says: “Zhun bo? Wa lao, Ah ma ‘happily‘ (eng) liao loh.”

Ya, my grandma understands simple English. XD When I reached home, I went to bed immediately. (Remember my insomia yesterday? Ya, that’s the cause.) Slept like a wood till 9pm at night. Felt so happy. XD

Anyway, here’s something to share… (From the great Rin.)

Rin says: “Qiqi do you like to buy cheap hairbands? (Scrunchies)”
Qiqi says: “Ya, like ah, cause my house no hairbands now…”

Then she showed me this website… O_O

Why?

BEWARE PEOPLE. DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU
SEE FOR WHAT IT IS. O_O

Need... sleep!

As a matter of fact, I often find myself unable to sleep several days before the start of a new semester in school. A leopard can’t change its spots… neither do habits change. Paranoia bugs me. Yes, I am fearing school, yet it is where my interests lie in.

Perhaps in this school, there are too much people… who worked a hundred times harder than me. Therefore, I fear. I fear that if I came to be a slacker and give up on myself, I’d fall. Miserably slow. Lag behind. Thus I am pushing myself. Mustering my confidence, I step forth like a soldier in armor, with a rifle in my arms, ready to face death. (Yet not fearlessly.)

Anyway, I checked my Library loan thingy in school. I thought I’ve lost the book, but found it when I was cleaning my room. The fine has reached up to a hefty sum of SGD$10.00. How many fishballs can I buy with $10? A lot, I’d say.

I must remember to return my library book once school starts. Yepper. I look forward to school. Hip hip hurray.

To my friends who are struggling in school, don’t worry too much. Let nature takes it course. Cheer up, people.

Your dearest Qiqi,
signing off.

I was talking with Tommie (Thomas) korkor today in MSN, and he told me something which entertained me (seriously) that happened to him the day before…

King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
let me tell u what happen ytd as an entertainment
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
i just finished my workout in gym
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
was very hungry so i went to 7-11
Qiqi                …   I seek solace in silence.                  says:
aaa, and then?
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
bought myself 1 pack of 10 eggs
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
went to mamak stall
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
ordered kopi o ais
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
1 ommelette
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and ask him to add all those eggs
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
he gave me one weird funny WTF face
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and went back to the kitchen with my eggs
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
he came back,,,, with the cook and 3 of his helpers
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
asked me again… thrice whether is this i want?
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
“yes”
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
are u sharing with anyone?
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
“no”
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
“….”
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and he cooked
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
when its done
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
its so huge it barely fit the largest plate they have
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and i ate it… happily
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
its much more fulfilling
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and cost 80% less than McD
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
XD

That’s his experience… And then, he said that the scary thing is…

King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
today
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
i was talking to the owner abt what happened ytd
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and he told me something happened in his time
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
when he was a muscle freak like me, he ate 30 eggs a day
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
but he doesnt take the yolk, so he feed all 30 yolks to his cat
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
so everyday that cat eats 30 egg yolks… that’s 900 egg yolks in a month
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
by the 3rd month, the cat was freaking obese.. like a giant beanbag
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
and it died. suddenly.
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
scared the shit outta ma
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
me
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
so from now on
King – Got Muscle Genes? says:
i limit myself to 5 yolks max

The lesson learnt is: Too much yolks = no good for you at all… Korkor learnt his lesson, I hope you, yolk-lovers out there, learnt yours too. ^^

I wanna, I wanna:

MATERIALISTIC:

- Wallet
(My old one spoiled, after two years.)
- Organizer
(For all my DMD needs.)
- Water Bottle
(Thirst-quencher. More like school's drinks are kind of expensive.)

EMOTIONAL-ISTIC:

- Take a stroll
- Read a book near the sun
- Draw some people
- Sit down in a cafe and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate
