Ohh, I see.

So that's why you were calling me. I figured as much. By the way, if you come find me, I hope you have some sort of decent argument as to why my reasons are self-justified and, as you are implying, unreasonable or untruthful. Also; I'll be having Drama FoA duty for the next 2 days. You can come find me in the SAC.

Ah shit, today got out of Chem at 8:50 there. Went for my Drama duty, slacked around in the CPA2 for about 30 minutes and brought some of the Ticketing-people to go to the SAC and sell. Today, sold 2 tickets, both sales made by me. One to Randy, after much persuasion and pity, and the other one to Mr. Gregory Lim.

Nothing interesting happened for the next few hours until I was on my way home. About to reach my house that time, some half-naked (the top) Malay/Indian man walked in smoking. I think the bus uncle told him to throw away the cigarette, then from what I think I saw, he threw it outside the bus, threw coins into the box and while walking to his seat, he was like "Wah fucking lanjiao kaninabu, think your bus isit?" then he went to his seat. While I was on my way out, I also heard him shouting something like "OY LOO-YEEE" then I got off.

Sigh.

Omfg, lol

I just noticed, but my angst-ridden post (the last one) was my 200th post. Oh god, benchmark. This makes me the most blogwhore out of all of us, obviously.

Had Drama until 6:40~ today. I know I shouldn't complain since some of the other stayed even later, but still, I was told by someone it would end around 6. Infact, I believe Mrs. Tee told me that. Ah whatever, it wasn't totally boring. The last 20 mins were spent talking with Pheng Hwee and Jon Wei about anime and stuff. Apparantly CCS is actually worth a look.

Forgot to hand in Mr.Arzami's homework because I had to rush off to Scouts right after school ended. Will sneak it into the 3.7 pigeon hole tomorrow and hope for the best.

Nothing much to say. Will be busy until next week since FoA is coming up. Darren is on LoA until next Monday, so I'll be bored and alone in class, pretty much. Just relying on Marcus for the occasional Taptap, so it seems I'll be paying attention for the next 3 days.

Was bored enough during History to compile a list of players and heroes. It basically encompasses all our regulars (or semi-regulars) and the heroes they can play, and I think at the time of writing I was imagining us in a DotA competition, school-based or not. The players are: Merrill, me, Thomas, Dornel, Jon Wei and Randall - last one I think I said before, is a friend from Junior and is a Barker now.

Heroes I suggest that people might be able to use are italicized.

Heroes that I can use : StormSpirit, Necrolyte, Drow, Magnataur, TC

Heroes that Merrill can use : ShadowPriest, Warlock, Bane, Omniknight, ShadowShaman/CM

Heroes that JW can use: Warlock, Tidehunter, SandKing, Enigma

Heroes that Thomas can use: Spiritbreaker, Bane, Bloodseeker, Troll, TreantProtector

Heroes that Dornel can use: Jakiro, ShadowShaman, DK, Lich, Bane

Heroes that Randall can use: Ench, Vengeful, Zeus, Lina, Lich


No offense intended to anyone but the reserve player would end up being JonWei or Dornel. More likely the latter.

Still waiting for my Horo2...

Okay. Reponse.

Definition of Troll;
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or collaborative content community with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion."

Don't use the word 'Troll' to define me if you don't know what it means. My comments in your CBOX are not 'irrelevant' because you posted about me first. It's not 'controversial' because there are no facts to contrast with. It is 'inflammatory' because I didn't insult you, I simply stated facts.

First off; I know people can choose to listen to me or not. I'm not arrogant enough to absolutely force my opinions onto other people.

Next. I am, by my own definition, 'nice' to certain people. You, are obviously one person who doesn't deserve it.

In case you haven't noticed, which you obviously haven't because your ego has shrouded your simple thought processes, I have refrained from insulting you in a long time. Can you recall the last time I called you a 'French Fag'? It's at least over a month ago. I have already tried my best in making peace with someone like you, someone who doesn't know where the line is, and continuously crosses it. And just so you know, only you, Zong and Merrill call me 'Otakufag', 'Shojofag' and you are the only one that says anything about CLANNAD. Zong and Merrill do it, what, once a month? You? You insult me in some way involving 'Anime', 'Otakus' or 'Shojo' at least 3 times a week.

You obviously have some kind of complex, insulting me repeatedly for what I like. Fine, I'm not like a lot of people our age, I don't enjoy watching insane fighting action scenes and I to a certain extent enjoy moving, heartwarming scenes more than most. What you think about these scenes, whether you think that it's just a bunch of girls crying their hearts out repeatedly, continuously, I do not care. You have stated your opinion, several times. I have told you to shut up, several times. You, however, obviously having NOTHING better to do, continue to repeatedly state your opinion to me.

If you think back, how often do I insult the stuff you like? I make an occasional fagjoke about Linkin Park maybe, I only insult your hacking-faggotry everytime you insult me.

So. What have I done to deserve 'Otakufag' and 'Shojofag'. What did I do to deserve having my own likes insulted for no reason? I get that we're all teenage Singaporeans and have an urge to insult everything, but. Seriously. EVERY FUCKING WEEK I GET THIS BULLSHIT.

I don't give a shit if it's your birthday, it doesn't give you any special rights to be a fuckface whom hasn't even thought this through. I spend almost 2 hours everyday just wondering 'Am I right or is Dornel right' just because I don't want to end up being on the wrong and realizing I'm a faggot. How about you?

You have no right to give me bullshit every day for no rhyme or reason.

-Haruhiist (also; enraged Singaporean angsty teen)
P.S. This will be the last comment or post I will post on this matter. Promise, no more angsty faggotry.

Too nice, too naive.

I wonder if being overly considerate of other people is being nice or being naive. I keep telling Darren to stop giving away pictures of Krystal/links of Krystal/personal info. about Krystal because what I think is that hes sort of giving away whatever 'personal trust' she had in him. I mean, he just gave Krystal's blog and pics away to Marcus Choy (Not a good person to give any female-related thing to, not that her blog link is hard to find anyway), and didn't seem to care. Hell, he didn't even listen when I tried to tell him what I thought about it.

Then I just spent the next 30 minutes or so wondering if I am too nice, too naive, or is everyone else just too inconsiderate. Since I'm under the assumption that I can't be the one right person in my entire group of friends, I'm either too nice or naive.

Sigh, I think too much about these matters.

Doing Lincoln Chua's homework now. Will be done by 5 hopefully, will start on making some Geog exam notes, so that I never have to bring home that bastard file ever again. But chances are I'll end up slacking kind of like now, and never finish it.

Yeah...

The Daily BS

Woke up at 8, went back to sleep, woke up at 10. Showered, mother ordered Macs at 11, estimated time for arrival: 1 hr 15 mins. Okay, acceptable for our laidback family. Waited until 12:50, then my parents got pissed and called Macs. Told us that they went to our house and couldn't contact us, so they cancelled our order. Was eavesdropping from inside my room, was so pissed off with the stupidity of the Macs Staff (CALL OUR HANDPHONES YOU BLOODY IDIOTS), I lost my appetite. Father bought food an hour later and we ate. Been playing Maple since 11, at least, until 5 or so. My Ice/Lit leveled to 33, and my newly made Bandit-Assassin hybrid is now level 22. Very lazy now, started to feel that feeling where I'm going to quit the game soon.

On the other hand, overworking my DS. It's plugged in nearly all day, and I'm playing Phoenix Wright 24/7, no matter what I'm doing. Even in class. Currently on the 3rd Case of the 2nd Game. Maya is cute. Oh so very cute.

Near the completion of my learning of Lost My Pieces, the piano piece I mentioned at some point before. I only have the last page left, the part where I'm playing 2 notes on the ends of each octave. Of course I have no idea what I'm saying, basically I'm playing a C note and the C note one octave higher. And I have to do this repeatedly, my hand is constantly stretched to breaking point while I jump around the right end of the keyboard.

Hm.

Seems like no one agrees that violent stabbing is the way to shut people up. Sigh.

Asura Cryin End

Well, that was a nice way to end. Though judging from the ending part where it says 'Production Confirmed for Season 2' , what I inferred from the last part of the actual show was wrong. Misao didn't vanish. Apparently.

Poor Reishirou.

Whee, scouts.

So, I had my first Scout session for T3 today. Incidentally, also the first Scout Session where our level takes charge. Heh, me and Zong took on a patrol, which had 8 people. It was pretty slack, we just followed them around. Although some of them were okay, there were like two or three guys who were way too arrogant for their own good, or just wouldn't listen. In the end, I guess scouts is still fun in the way that we spend time with friends. I can't remember the last time I spent almost 3 hours talking with Zong.

Tch, went with David to the McDonalds across my house because he was meeting Danyal there. While waiting for Danyal, stole some of his fries while eating my ice cream (vanilla cone) and drinking my (overly large) cup of coke. When Danyal came, David noticed one guy had his comp. charger plugged in but the power point had its switch turned off. After a bit of laughing amongst ourselves, and then me finishing my ice cream, and buying something for my brother, I walked home. In Scout U. Felt pretty stupid, since my coke was humongous and, Scouts U and all.

Also; I'm awesome at Tap Tap. First 4 times I played, I got under 70%. On the 5th time, when I was finally used to the hit system, I got 99% on a 'Extreme' difficulty song (Just Dance by Lady Gaga). I then proceeded to win a few of the apparently better players in our class, or so I assume. Right now, just aiming to win Nick Young whom, as Marcus told me, is the best Tap-Tapper in our class. Tcch.

Hall of Fame #1 : Storm Spirit 16K 1D


pwnz0r4g3

Couldn't care less about pride issues now. Just so happy, 16-1 SS and the 1 death was when I first got my bloodstone with no charges. Endgame: Shivas, Bloodstone (17 charges), Guinsoo and Boots of Speed.

This will probably happen again in a few months.

Screwed up

Not sure what the hell is going on right now. Everyone around me is slowly getting sick and dropping like flies (Marcus, Darren, my Mom), and I'm horribly immune even though I'm usually near them everyday. Sigh, I only had a short one-day sickness thing and now I only feel tiredness but I assume thats because I sleep less than 8 hours a day. I just slept from 3:30 to 6:20 since I only slept at 2AM last night due to some unfortunate circumstances. And my piano fanaticism.

Don't think I want to play DotA with the usual people tonight, it's fucking stressful to organise the damn thing and almost all the time we spend 20~30 minutes just deciding on a room/game to join. Especially when shit like Randall fatalling or Jon Wei's incessant inhouse-selling happens. Fuck.

I also need to do SS. Guess I'll go play my DotA now and spend the rest of the night doing homework, and resting. UG Award Rehearsal tomorrow, wewt.

-Haruhiist

Just a mini-post

I hope you learned your lesson about [when to shut the fuck up/what to shut the fuck up about] or basically, I hope you realise that there's a certain boundary to keep behind.
Wow I stabbity-stabbity'd a bit hard there. I do feel remorseful but you can blame your sorry self.

Random thoughts

After reading the first paragraph of Dornel's post, I wonder.
Why do we call our friends random stupid names - constantly?
I mean, we call each other fags, faggots, fuckers and other random assorted names once in awhile as a joke or for fun or to make a lively topic (at the expense of somebody, but it tends to go in a circle so everyone gets a nice jab). But why do we call people retarded names for no reason - continuously? Then again, I can only think of Thomas, with everyone called him Lamfag and all. I can't remember who started it, or if he really cares, but it seems to put me off a little. Maybe because I personally hate being insulted for no apparent reason.

Or I'm just thinking through shit too much, as usual.

Now, after coming back from Drama (1:30 - 6:30, wtf), I'm wondering why Dornel plays DotA with us. He says it's a shit game, but he seems to get really into it when hes actually in the game. And his reasons are something as simple as 'the game is basically point and click'... hm. I tried explaining the depth of DotA (last hitting, skill combo, simple-to-use-but-difficult-to-master, etc..) but he seems to only understand skills like stunbolt, dragon tail (DK stun) and dual breath. Come to think of it, the reason he sees DotA as such a simplistic, easy, boring game is because he plays all the point-click heroes. The only exception, I suppose, is Jakiro's Macropyre. But that explains why he misses it so much. Try playing a wider assortment of heroes, hello. Like, I dunno, PotM, Pudge, Clockwerk, Tormented Soul. All of these require some sort of precision aiming (Arrow, Hook, Hookshot/Battery Assault, Split Earth/Diabolic Edict).

Ah, I really need to shower. Waiting for Nire-subs to release Spice & Wolf II. Already installed CLANNAD FV, and the wider resolution is nice. Then again it seems like a simple upscale, but I heard theres an extra CG somewhere. One whole extra CG! That's a totally awesome reason to replay 50+ hours worth of book. (No, srsly.) Also; since I lost my 8gb AIR OST collection in .FLAC (Flawless Lossless Audio Codec) format while reformatting, I'm currently downloading it again. The 8gb one is dead, and I'm trying to get a 1gb one which is in mp3 format. Sadly this torrent is also extremely dead, and I'm downloading at 5%~ a day, as in 24 hours. Kind of extremely sad for my internets and computer.

So

Going to sleep soon, but I wanna write about an anime I just downloaded out of lulz. It's called Princess Lover, subbed by Chihiro. From the name, and the download link: 'Boobies' (Then again, it's always like that, now that I think about it), I thought it would be a stupid ecchi anime.

Well I was right.

Except for the action scenes. Animation is top notch, or at least pretty damn excellent for my standards. Story is okay so far I guess, a bit confused about it all. Art is good, character design is good, it's one of those random pick-up anime that you enjoy. The OP and ED are songs I'll probably download and keep in my playlists too. It's basically about a boy whom is living a normal life, until his parents are killed after he leaves for school one day. Then it timeskips to 2 months later, and you see the main character, Kobayashi Teppei, saving a princess from the Hazelrink Empire.

Then you see him being taken in by some big boss, Arima Isshin, and he's announced as the successor. He deals with the fake smiles of those company suck-ups, the ones that exist everywhere, and then he meets the personl assistant for Isshin and his little loli daughter, which is like, totally cute. Then he goes back to his room, tired, sees a girl at the bottom of the building practicing swordplay, goes down there (I neglected to mention: Hes trained in swordplay and enjoys exercise), claps for her performance, and is attacked by above girl.

After sparring match, where its a draw, Isshin comes out and announces that girl is fiancee.

I think the only problem I have is that out of the 4 main heroines (no loli D:) I can tell from the OP/ED, 3 out of 4 of them have.. I dunno.. C to E-cup breasts. And artist girl has B? I dunno, kind of hard to see from the small pics.

Anyway, Spice and Wolf II also started airing already. Episode 00 and Episode 01 were good, typical S&W. Except Horo seems a lot softer now.

Downloading CLANNAD Full Voice right now, for the 800x600 resolution which is an increase from my current one (640x480), as well as removing the trouble of applying the voice patch.

Ah shit. I hope Mr. Lincoln Chua understands that I didn't have my History with me so I couldn't do it. Also, can't believe Drama tomorrow is until 6:30.. for cast anyway. I feel sorry for them. But I feel even more fucking sorry for us worker-people because we start at 1:30, and if we work till 6:30 I'd rather go back to Aikido ffs.

-Haruhiist

Super sian

Overslept today, woke up with stomach pains, ended up not going school. Called Darren at 7:18 or so, asked him to let me speak to Mdm. Shu Xu Hong, so he went to call her in the Staff Room. She gave me consent for one day parents letter, so I'll be excused for today. Spent most of the day playing Maple, and I just finished my E Math homework. Heard from Darren that LC is damn pissed about the holiday History homework, and he'd be handing out demerits tomorrow. I want to do it but I didn't bring home my file, so I can't do it anyway.

Impt. Things I missed today:
- First Scouts PLC (Committee meeting)
- Chem Prac.
- Geog Core Lesson (She covers a lot in just 40 mins)
- Drama.. I guess?

Anyway there's drama everyday now for some reason or another. Not very motivated to care at all, but I suppose I should play my part despite not having a part. Tch.

...I guess, happy things for today to brighten up my mood:
- K-On! Songs were released (Didn't expect it, not trusting Nipponsei's release date list anymore)
- Striker is Level 25 (But the Lv25 KoC quest sucks butt, seriously.)
- ...nothing.

Sian.

Monday, July 20, 2009

Oh shit.

So bored.
Reformatted Comp today. I forgot to back up a few things (courtesy of my External which decided to not work yesterday when I was backing stuff up). Need to set up my usual anime stuff, managed to set my D drive to 30gb using the hidden Acronis space. Picked it up after school, went with Darren and Joel Lee Keng Yeen to Dover Market to get some paint and brushes. Then went to Drama, stayed until about 5:30, then Darren's dad fetched me home. Got home at 5:40, set up my comp ready to mass-installation and had tuition at 7:10. Was very tired and looked very much so, the teacher let me go off at the exact time instead of holding me back which she usually does. Usually I don't mind since tuition is relatively slack, and we spend more time chitchatting about random shit. Today was using the comp for tuition, and I taught her how to use youtube.

Before any of you get some sick pairings, shes an old lady in her 50s~60s.

Yeah, tomorrow I have Scouts, and assuming it ends before 5 I'm going to have to go for Drama painting again.

Very fucking sian.

Back to installing.

Shit

Went to my Grandma's (Maternal) birthday 'party' at her house yesterday, which is in JB. Left the house around 4, and reached at 1, after midnight. At the gathering, pretty much everyone was there, except for a few of my cousins whom were sick, and one of my aunties who is in America. Basically, uneventful. Played a bit of T2, Uno, and then slept for about 30 minutes and my cousin gave my DS back. Finished off Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and unlocked the Ema Skye trial. Found out that some of my cousins are also, like, artists-in-training. But apparantly, I have this younger male cousin whom used to be a huge crybaby and he's like a Winfred Quek. He thinks hes superior.

So I drew a pic and left it on the table, one of the younger girl cousins runs around showing it to everybody, shows it to the younger-male-cousin and he's like, "Wheres the nose? This drawing sucks." and at that point I feel like punching him. He asks for paper, girl cousin goes "So what, you're going to draw another pineapple head again?" and I start laughing there.

Drew a portrait for my cousin, then finished the game at 12 or so. Played a bit on the keyboard there, for like 2 minutes, then my relatives ask me if I'm willing to play at the wedding thats being planned. Lol.

Anw I finished my homework and shit, my Cassiopeia Striker is now level 21, which I got to in like 4 hours. Experienced firsthand the faggotry of Singaporeans. Was in Bubbling place, this girl comes in with Flame Spirit and it hits the whole map, at which I'm surprised. So the conversation goes...

"..."
"simi lj ah"
"Wtf?"
"jealous sibo"
"Can't say nicely ah?"
"cant"
"fucking Singaporeans"
"malaysia so cheap nub diam lah"

Then she walked away after that. Evidence that most of Singapore is filled with pricks. Ah damn, have Drama after school tomorrow. Hope it doesn't take long.

Swine Flu at 10, now to you, Charles.

If you want to read the latest on 3.07 failure, you can go read Avetheron. Now on my side, I like to talk about myself. Because I'm a whore. And shit. Well really, all there is to talk about is 3.07. Ethan's an idiot, and I realise the idiots outnumber us 17:10 or so. Sad. So we have to redo our CIP on the wednesday after final exams. Not that it makes a big difference, that week is pretty much the week where everyone skips school anyway.

So.. today I came home. Then I decided to practice the Piano Piece I'm learning, which is 'Lost my Pieces' from the Toradora! OST. Pretty sure I mentioned this before. I managed to learn the very very first part of the chorus, right before it switches to the second scales-thingy. And I learned the entire first page of the score. By the way, it's 3 pages. Or 2 and a half if you wanna be precise.

Ahh, shit not much to talk about.

Wonder what'll happen tomorrow.

Oh yeah! My seat got changed, as did everyone elses. Now instead of being at the very front left of the classroom (assuming you're seeing it from the back), I'm right infront of the teacher's table. NO MORE WALL PILLOW! NO MORE MID-CLASS DS! NOOOOOO!

Moral of the Story

Today Good:
- I did my A Math homework and Bio homework. Finished it.

Today Bad:
- Lost 3 DotA Games
- Mom gets pissed off at me when I try to help save money
- Drawing like shit
- Deep fried my pasta sauce supper (I made the bolognese sauce so black it looks like char kway teow)
- ;_;

Moral of the Story: Don't do your homework.

-Haruhiist

Ah, shit

I'm doing too much homework recently. I have done pretty much every single piece of homework, hell I even finished the Bio worksheet that Mr. Terence Ng gave out today. All that's left to do is the Modulus Function questions for A Math, but I didn't really understand the Modulus function, much like I don't understand everything else for A Math. Still wondering what kind of comments I'll get from AZM for my English Compo. So many weird things, nothing interesting going on, life is mundane. Since my PSP screen broke, I've been using my DS as a substitute. Currently playing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and have gone through the prologue nearly 5 times just because I'm looking for an absolutely perfectionist game.

Also, I killed off Jagen for some reason on my first run. Now I need to redo the damn thing again.

I'm bored.

I need my anime.
Grr...

Monday, July 13, 2009

Ah, damn. Incoming shitstorm.

Ethan pissed off Mdm.YLB (A Math teacher today). YLB was spotted speaking to KT and Ar/Za/Mi. AZM came to our class and talked a bit about some random crap, then stated that discipline would be discussed tomorrow. I see an incoming shitstorm during contact time tomorrow. Otherwise, today was typical.

Except that I was raped by Ethan and Ryan Chung by a giant black rubber thing during Geog Core. Thanks to Lester, who told Ethan I wanted to be seduced. Then Lester said that he didn't owe me money anymore (he only did it because he owed me $2). I demand my money.

I'm fucking bored.
Doing my History homework now, have 3~hour tuition later, not getting any DotA tonight.
Sigh.

Set up a deviantArt

Was bored, I ended up drawing an Azusa fanart. Looking pretty good, but I only get these minor criticisms, except from people like Jan and Kami (People you've seen posting in my CBOX before). So I figured I'd get some criticism from artists too, it wouldn't hurt after all. Even back then when I was considerably noober I had watchers on my account.

So, if you want to know.

Also; will have the Azusa/Tsubaki done eventually. Probably Azusa will come first.

COSFEST


Limited Edition Konata Haruhi Cosplay Figma!

Went for today's COSFEST. Won't be going tomorrow. Randall called me around 10:30 and I had to make my decision. In the end I went. Damn bloody long train ride from Commonwealth to Pasir Ris. Also had to stop at City Hall, find Randall, and go on the same train again.

Arrived at White Sands around 1, ate at Burger King, set off for Downtown East at 1:30, got lost, found it at 1:50 or so. Went in there, was surprised it was being held in a giant tent-like thing. I only had $25~ spending money, since I bought lunch as well as put money into my EZ-Link.

Bought:
- 5 K-On! Bookmarks, $10

I also got the limited Mio one, which was only being sold in a complete $10 set. Each one was $2. I didn't know, but got the Mio and Randall was like "OMFG SELL ME FOR $5". I told him to buy it for $2 instead but it turns out I got the last Mio. Must be damn lucky. Though when I bought them, I wasn't sure what to do with them.

- 4 K-On! Stickers, $1.50

Truthfully, I only bought it because it was cheap. Depressed slightly after seeing it was pixelated.

- Konata-Haruhi Cosplay Figma $60

If this was a normal figma, I wouldn't have bought it. But mind you, this is a figma that was exclusive, the very first Lucky Star figma. It's HELL to find it anywhere else, and I was so happy I bought this. My very first LIMITED EDITION figure.

Too bad, after I bought it I realised the magical $50 I found in my wallet was supposed to pay for my ten-year series (A compulsory 'O'Levels book). Oh well, my allowance as well as savings are non-existent for next week.


The bookmarks


What I did with the bookmarks


Well, since I didn't have anything to do with the Bookmarks, and nothing to do at all, I set out to make them a nice stage and stands for each of them. It took a massive 1hr 30 minutes, but I managed to make them a nice stand. They now sit at the corner of my table. Everytime I look at them, I smile. Labour of my work.

Friday

Mr. Monster Moustache raged again today. Once again, I was mocking him in my mind.
Supposed to go out after school and pon Scouts but in the end the B.P. Spirit inside of me (Scout joke?) won over and me, Thomas and Zong ended up helping clean the room. We only stayed for about 1 hr and 40 mins though.

Helping clean the den is funner than I thought. Carried firewood from the UYO place all the way to near the Drama Studio, but after that we had a trolley. Me and Zong rode in it, but Zong had the funner experience because I got out almost immediately. Looked dangerous.

Not much to say lah. Tomorrow got COSFEST VII, I told Randall I'd go with him but I'm kind of meh about it now. It starts at like, 2, which is damn late for me. And my PSP LCD screen broke because of some random incidents in the classroom, so I'm kind of dispirited.

Grr.

Anyone wanna sponser me a new LCD screen?

Lots of shit has happened in the last 2 days. Wednesday happened to be my birthday, and I was too busy doing random happy shit to care about posting. Hence, I'm fillin' you all in on what happened, how it happened, and why it happened.

Since I'm generally an asshat, I'll do this in 5 sections with a content page.

1) My Birthday
2) Midnight Party
3) Crying Chemistry
4) Euphoric English
5) Roflplantweedshit

1 - My Birthday

It's the 8th of July. Was relatively excited for school since Merrill blurted out something about a surprise and Dornel kept speaking of free drinks. This was a lie though. In the end, I was called out to 3.18 by Zong and Bristan, and was thrown banana cake - a.k.a a photo album of all the random shit that's happened in the last year. Made me smile, I felt great and didn't know what to say, so I just mumbled 'thanks' and left.

Book contains pictures of me at Malacca, facepalming at the orphanage, being facepalmed by Zong at the CPA, my fat faggish faggotry from Malacca (I'm so glad I'm thinner now), the 1337-patrol picture from Recruits Camp, pictures of all of ya, along with signatures. Me with white gooey cream on my face, and finally the epic LAST DAY OF 2.05 picture.

Thanks guys.

2 - Midnight Party

Uh, was surprised when I got over 20 birthday wishes. Dornel is apparantly nosey enough to go around telling people to wish me Happy Birthday. Thanks for that, but next time don't ever do it. It feels fake and cheap. Also got birthday presents, at midnight, over the internet.

3 - Crying Chemistry

Was dozing off during Chemistry today. Woke up towards the end of the period to find myself staring at our dear Chemistry teacher, Mr. Mervyn Heng, being frustrated with our class to the point of tears. I never thought that teachers really cared for us, but this apparantly proves me wrong. Thanks Mr. Mervyn Heng, for caring for us to the point where you'd start tearing in the lesson.

Obligatory message because he may find my blog one day.

4 - Euphoric English

Alliteration title is a lie. English was stupid. Had to cut out newspaper headlines as a 'fun-class-project' but since my house only has chinese ones, I was relying on other people. In the end, Mr. Arzami faults us for being 5 minutes late, not accepting the reason of WE-HAD-FRIGGIN-PRACTICAL. Then he faults us for taking 10 minutes to cut out the newspaper headlines, I can understand his rage for this one, even though he kept saying it was 15 minutes (in reference to being 5 min late).

Later on he leaves ~20 minutes early. We all start playing around, and he comes back in a furious rage, banging the door. He speaks in a quiet, intimidating voice. I stand there, looking at him with the face that goes 'what the fuck gives you the right to talk to me that way'. He doesn't seem to take notice. As he rattles on about how we are being dishonest and cannot be trusted, I think up a nice 'STFU' argument.

"Mr. Arzami, how can you prove that we knew your lesson ended early? You say that you did not know because of the new timetable, and this being the first week of Week B with the new timetable. It is also new for us, maybe we didn't know either?"

I imagine the situation. He stares at me, dumbfounded. He then threatens to DP me because he can't think of any retort.

"Fine, sir. I get a demerit. But you lose this argument. You lost a debate against a Year 3."

He is dumbfounded again, mouth agape. I get suspended.

5 - Roflplantweedshit

I did CIP. I extracted weeds from the ground.

I got bitten by ants in all the wrong places.


Moral of the story - ants in your pants is not a great thing.

EXTENSION!

I wrote this late at night for my English Compo homework. Ended up writing a long love story-esque thing. Probably influenced by my animes, but imo it has made me a better person, not worse.


Name: Nicholas Tan Xuan
Class: 3.07 Daniel

Topic: Journey
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door creaks open. A small child and her mother come in. My old bones creak, I move my right hand up in a weak attempt to wave at the child, who has a frightened expression on her face. It is hard to blame her, she is meeting her grandfather for the first time, a grandfather that lay in his bed, tied down by a terminal illness. The child walks to me, bringing her innocent self closer to me. I smile, stroking her hair.
“Hello, Alice.”
No reply. She must be scared beyond what she is showing.
“Would you like to hear Grandpa’s story about how I met your grandmother?”
I lay my head back down, looking at Alice, a gentle expression on my face. She seems to have calmed down from the initial heart racing fear. I continue to stroke her hair, as my life’s events flash before my eyes. I narrate the events to her.

I am now 17 years old. I had fallen in love with a girl. She had beautiful brown locks that extended a little past her shoulders, hazel brown eyes that seemed to glitter like a dazzling diamond and the most beautiful smile to ever grace my field of vision. Right now, I am going to confess, taking the opportunity since she is alone. I walk up to her, and she looks up at me. I stutter. I have perfectly rehearsed lines, but the words are stuck in my throat. I am unable to get them out. She looks at me, with a strange look. Finally, mustering up whatever courage I had, I exclaimed.
“I like you! Will you please go out with me?”

I now stand before the very girl I had confessed to 8 years ago. She had initially rejected me, but after spending some time as friends and getting to know each other better, we entered a five year relationship. Surprising, how long it lasted. It was like great having a girlfriend. Going for dates, quiet walks in the park, showing affection through simple gestures like snuggling or hugs. Not this time though. We had just gone through a series of arguments, and now we were at risk of ending this bliss. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but I could not do anything. Bad things will happen, it’s inevitable. My heart aches, but I can do nothing.

Bells ring. I watch as a girl whom I have been with for almost ten years walk down the aisle dressed in a beautiful white dress. I smile, taking her hand, helping her up the steps. The priest reads from his book, but I do not hear it. I stare at her, focused on her and only on her. I say my vow, she says hers. I slide a ring onto her left ring finger, and she does likewise. The priest says the ending line, the one involving a kiss. I lean down, bringing my face closer to hers...

Back to reality. Teaching Alice about her deceased grandmother was the best thing I could do for her before I depart from this realm. I stroke her head one last time, and move my arm back to my side. My body feels light suddenly, and my vision goes blurry. At first, I am confused, but then I accept it. The end of this long, long journey. Once again, a smile crosses my face. My eyes shut, and I let myself float in this warm feeling.

Kyou OVA Post [CLANNAD]



Today's post will basically be about the Kyou OVA, or episode 25 of CLANNAD After Story. Similiarly to the Tomoyo Another World episode in the last season, this one shows the Kyou route, meaning no Nagisa, no Fuuko, no Kotomi, no Tomoyo. Just the Fujibayashi sisters in action.

Some things that bothered me about this episode was the weirder looking art and the sort of out-of-character-ness that some of the characters showed.

The art first, Tomoya seemed to look drugged for like half the episode. He had eyebags, a strangely sharp chin and a worried expression, like all the time. The girls all looked okay though, but since Tomoya was centred for most of the episode, it was a little weird, to the point that I actually noticed.

As for the OOC-ness, Ryou was strangely comfortable around Tomoya during the dating period, no stuttering or anything, even asking Tomoya to call her by her first name with no hesitation. Tomoya seemed to be... well, just too quiet. Kyou didn't have her usual tsundere on her, you could only see the deredere (soft side) of her. Sure, she was acting tough but you didn't see that outright.. Kyou-ness that you saw for most of the episode.

Enjoy the pics, took me 20 minutes to compile the things. Definitely a good episode overall, loved that they took care of the Kyou fans, myself included.

Comments are meant mainly for Bristan, he played the Kyou route after all.


Kiss in the park scene


I don't remember this part happening in the VN, but is a intense moodswing moment.


The part where you choose to go Kyou good end or bad end. Voices here are much nicer than the ones in the VN, maybe because of the dynamic of watching Tomoya wrestle Kyou into an embrace, as well as quiet whispers from Kyou. Awesome scene.


I actually didn't like this part at first, because the constant blinking comparisons between Ryou and Kyou were really headache inducing, but after rewatching again I find that it's really.. um.. impactful? Since their twins and all, seeing their outer faces and inner hearts compared with one another was great.


Yes, I suck at words to substitute 'good'.


Okay. Basically, love Kyou much more again, have that burst of URGENESS to play CLANNAD again, but I highly doubt I'll end up doing it. Need to make some KyouxTomoya avatars for my MSN.

Bristan, srzly, if you haven't watched this or After Story yet, you should. Totally.
..
Ah shit, school tomorrow.

Delivering Justice unto the Stupid


What happens when you irritate me in PQ. Basically they were noisy and kept on insulting the other team member for no reason, and kept threatening to expel whoever KS neckis or curse eyes, and kept spamming that BS while we were doing the puzzles and stuff. I dealt with it until I was like, 90% and then that happened. To explain what happened, after I said 'I hope you like expelling', I rushed down to neckis and eyes, ksed all of them, ksed the Slime, agitated the leader and they left.

then I rofl'd, and apologized to the other party member (the one getting insulted) for having to go through a load of bullshit.

Kyou-post will come later. Maybe tomorrow, I have a party to attend.

11:31 Now


the winning screenshot, "OMFG LEVEL 30 F*CK YES!"


Dornel and Thomas are talking about all sorts of random shit right now, while I'm waiting for the decision of DotA now or play tomorrow. Anw, reached level 30 in Maple today, quite happy even though it took me 8~9 freaking hours of start-stop play from like, 10 until 9 in the night.

Actually just making this post because I need to free up the next post, going to review the CLANNAD Kyou OVA. The screenshot from last post came from the OVA. As far as I know it's a DVD special, and my review is going to be more focused on how the art looked compared to the rest of the series as well as some weird things I noticed.

Yeah..

*EDITED* とらドラ! Memorial

In this world, everyone has something they haven't seen before
Something very kind and very sweet
If it could be seen, everyone would want it too
That's why the world hid that
Not to let people get hold of it easily
However, someone will find it some day
There will be one person to find that.

と TO ら RA ド DO ラ RA !

That is what that thing is


So I'm going to watch Toradora! 24 and 25 after this, and then I'll have to go on and start rewatching another loved series. I'm thinking Gurren Lagann, CLANNAD, or completing AIR which I for some reason have not finished watching yet. I'm not even at the breakdown and cry part yet... actually that was the episode I am on now, I think. Just finished a DotA game with the guys, got into a argument with Merrill (I always get into an argument with someone, it's sort of normal to me. Maybe not to you guys that are arguing with me.), but in the end we won thanks to some earth shaking stuns. Other than boosting my ego, Dornel and Merrill's stuns were nice and timely to, Jon Wei's Sniper was a bit shaky but held out in the end. If he gotten butterfly or bkb he woulda lasted longer though, Skadi is for when you already have your DAMAGE ITEM. NOT your escape mechanism.

Oh shit, I'm lecturing people about DotA on my blog.

Tomorrow's a Friday, and with the H1N1 thing going around UYOs are cancelled. Therefore I've been thinking about an outing for both Friday and Monday, but it seems everyone is busy for some reason or another tomorrow. Plus the fact that Zong's plastic guitar is still broken, 3 people would probably be the best. Right now it's me, Dornel and Zong with Merrill coming after band, possibly. That or we can just sit in school and wait for him for an hour.

As for Monday, Zong plans to spend his holiday-day doing his coursework or whatever so low chances of anything. At least I'll have time to boot up Lunia, see if my Clan kicked me out yet (they warned me that I had to be active and I haven't logged on for 2 weeks), and decide whether I want to give up on the game that's taking 2gb of my space.

For Summer Anime, I've decided to add Umineko into my list. Yes, it's a murder mystery anime, but with such rave reviews (or was that Higurashi) I figure I should at least try it out. The OP seems nice and the red haired guy reminds me of Phoenix Wright. Peacefully awaiting my Spice and Wolf II and Haruhi S2 new episodes.

From what I can tell, I'm not getting even a merit for Honours Day award. At least, that's what I'm inferring from a certain conversation with a certain someone. Correct me if I'm wrong, and make my day.

But at the very least, I'll get 1 CCA Point since I'm officially a scout Patrol Leader now. Yaay!

I drew my first 'perverted' drawing today. It was a woman sitting down on the ground with her arms straight infront of her, her palms supporting her up, and her legs are both pointed outwards, which results in her kneecaps blocking the area with that thing. She's not wearing any clothing for the bottom half of her, her pantsu are not revealed so I never had to decide about that one, and shes wearing an unbuttoned shirt. Enough to see cleavage but not enough to see pointed things.

Gave it to Joshua first, and he called it a Frog Woman and gave it to the sports people who were like "WAH NICK TAN, SHOULD HAVE MORE CLEAVAGE LAH!" and I just facepalm, then they put it on the teachers desk and their like "Ey, leave it here for Keith Tan" so I panic, grab it, run outside and give it to Marcus. Then Winfred apparantly took it from him and ripped it apart, my guess is because of sexual frustration.

Managed to hand up my A Math Graph, finish off all the English homework which leaves me with the random holiday homework and stuff. Apparantly I need to do the History homework, as well as the A Math one. Mr.KT doesn't look like hes gonna collect so I'm not really bothering.

Ahhh shit. I'm so bored. I'll go watch Toradora! now.
I hope tomorrow is successful.

EDIT - I'VE FINISHED WATCHING TORADORA! AND THUSLY I AM INSPIRED TO EDIT AN ENTIRE POEM OF IT INTO MY BLOGPOST MUCH LIKE I DID FOR CLANNAD.

There's something in this world that no one has seen before
It is gentle and sweet
Maybe if people could see it, everyone would fight over it
That's why no one has ever seen it
The world hid it so that no one could get their hands on it easily
However, someday, someone will find it.

と TO ら RA ド DO ラ RA !

And this is how it is created.

Kocchikocchi.

I dunno what the title means.
On the 23rd episode of Toradora! now, which is the third last episode. Tempted to watch 24 and leave 25 for tomorrow's FINAL EPISODE but it's pretty late and I wanna play Rockband for awhile. Too bad 23's ending is a super cliffhanger, despite me already knowing what will happen.

So today was okay. Woke up 15 minutes late but still managed to get to the bus on time, went to school. Was a bit worried about homework, however I somehow escaped from the wrath of all the teachers. Mr.T-Ng took over Mr.Keith Tan's E Math period so for the last lesson of the day we had a 2hour Bio session. Pretty sianded, 1st hour or so we were all messing around, with everyone talking but I tried to pay attention. Learned some stuff about platelets, the protherkinase or some shit and the proteins and blood groups.

Then he gave us a 5 min break, but when we came back he was a bit pissed so he made us all go back to our seats. Resulted in considerable more siandedness but let me listen to the lesson more.

Next 5 min break, Dornel stuffs a key into Mr.T-Ng's USB port resulting in a short circuit shutdown for his computer, and Marcus turns off the charger plug.

Later on during lesson, his comp runs out of battery due to Marcus' idiocy and then he gives a short reprimandation and a guilt trip on whoever did it.

Went for Drama, mostly because I was dragged by Jon Wei and Bristan. Didn't want to go at first but ended up going anyway. Very boring, to us people it just feels like we're there to fulfill CCA-hours quota, and the Exco seems to just not really care, making us play games to entertain ourselves for 2 and a half hours. Danyal seemed like the only one that bothered, even then his suggestions for stuff like the topics seemed a bit half-assed, no offence.

I have done my A Math homework and most of the English. Left with 3-4 Compre questions, Summary and half a Journal entry to go.

This means I've done an A Math graph, English book review (for RedSkyintheMorning) and about 8 Comprehension questions, and half a Journal entry on Free Speech.

Can't wait to have an outing on Friday or Monday, or both. Hopefully Zong isn't so sick that he gets quarantined and his parents doesn't let him go out/doesn't let us go visit.

Honestly aching for some plastic guitar action>
ZUUUUN.
Seems like I'll be guilted out of buying figures for awhile, family going through financial problems due to excessive spending on needless fashion items, such as $2000 handbags. My dad spoke to me privately just to tell me to try and save as much money as I can. Probably not going to do overnight torrenting anymore, will try diligently to turn off switches when I'm not using them, and keep the air con off. Not that the last one makes a difference, I rarely use the air con anyway. Already freezing cold without it.
