TARC is organising OPEN DAY on 14-16 december 2007. if you happen to be free (particularly from CF) to come for a visit, do stop by at the dance room at the sports complex, next to the clubhouse cafe. that same weekend of CF is the CO-CURRICULUM DAY (which i ever so unfortunately have to attend) and all sort of sports will be having a competition among participating students. as for me, contemporary dance.

i will be the male dance partner to my petit lady in the "dance competition" on that saturday. everyone will be performing all three latin ballroom, waltz and rock'n'roll dances. last night i have found all formal pieces to my formal outfit (male counterpart, of course). the lady's covered shoes - ewww! kolot betul. too bad i cannot fit in the smallest size (39) of men's shoes that was available. i like the *shiny*. XD

also, im catching Aladdin panto at KLPAC on the week right after CF weekend, with a handful of friends. look forward to an interesting photo post around mid december! cosplay, dance, panto and all.. ^__~

fiesta... oops!

remember the only games i played are confined to non-electronic ie. board games? no arcade, no mmorpg, no nintendo wii. not a bad life you know. yeah, wth with "no life." i can live with it.

remember what i criticised (a bit) about having to spend time (and a little more) on mmorpg? how it cannot be a good pasttime? (wait, i did not say that before. my memory is getting messed up!)

each at separate times, i had unintentionally dug up a few (no more than three so far) cases of death with similarities. these "victims of their own" spent three days and three nights doing nothing but stay (in this era, obviously online) on their computers. and they all died on the third day. @_@ addiction is bad, people. dont die. (you're giving a bad name to people alike.) though, one of them did get a mmo funeral in the game itself (!) and a mention in a guinness tome. still, dont die!

yeah, they just fall off the chair dead. like L in death note. hmm i wonder...

what with the cheong hei beat-around-the-bush thing im doing here? point is, i dont do mmorpg (more often than not, its coz i dont have the internet to do so). i recently tried fiesta online but.. yes, it was fun and all, but when i COULD NOT pry myself away from it, you know what it means. no, im not dieing three days later! sheesh. at least, i knew what it means. i lost a lot of organisation and it was like ashley olsen (the fictionised book character who is very organised - i am not, but in a way, so i mentioned her) losing her life - when her organiser/daily planner went missing.

i lost control over how much time to divide where and which should get more attention. mmorpg is a baaaad thing for me, people - others may fall for drugs or clubbing or what-nots but mine's mmorpg. i keep wanting more, its totally an unbalanced affair. ACG events, i attend only for the A and the C, dont involve me in the G.

oh, dont get me wrong. im not one of the members of PEOPLE-AGAINST-ONLINE-GAMES ORG. but i am against my own judgement to take up this new hobby. no more fiesta online for me. at least, not until i have the time. nope, not even next semester break (february 2008) coz i gotta start and finish all my sewing projects. buying cloth and materials this year, saving for the next coz the prices are going up.


anyway, here's a screenshot of my avatar in front of a full bloom sakura tree. (i dont hope to find out for you that it stays full bloom every season or not.) im an archer who has gotten herself a horsie to get around coz archers has got to be the slowest moving of the four types. and to think their only up point is being able to attack from a distance. fiesta online, outspark. the end. (for now.) otherwise you can call it my secret activity when im online at home.

spring roll..!

people, do know that ive very reluctantly created the Friend Test - Who Knows Me Best. i felt very depressed when i answered my friends' quizes and dint get a "pass" or above 50%. and since this was created in the middle of a midnight, dont take it too seriously - its really what it says: Killer.

if i were to talk more about it, im sure you're to earn a couple correct answers. so yeah, take it easy and give it a try will ya! ^__^ give a pat on your back if you managed 50% - thats probably as good as impossible!

P.S. KILLER. repeat that. K-I-L-L-E-R. yes, correct. you have only earned yourselves, at press time, two-digit (0-95) marks. out of 200. not percent. too bad. akiko teh killer. 15/200. 50/200. 100/200 anyone? 5 marks each question.

death note: amane misa

referring to a death note poster hidden in my cupboard, i decided to cosplay a proper misa. i sew the red ribbon last sunday; leaving the (collar, sleeves, shirt) edges to cover with white lace! <3>this was supposed to be up five days ago, but i was too bugged by a dance assignment i did not have the time to post this.

couch is full.

beware: anger in proximity.

ooh no. oh no. no. you know what happened again? the great blackout. yes, the blackout that erased the whole xxx hectars of the campus of its electricity supply, again. this time, i was blogging and nothing could be retrieved of the draft.

i left the C&IT centre, looking forward to a brighter place to do some writing instead of typing, and i saw a uniformed man walked into a 'grey external storeroom-looking' thing to switch on some buttons. then, i heard booming motor sounds that made me think "there are two dozen harley davidsons in there that just simultaneously started the engines!" i peeked in and saw a large machine which i assume is a temporary generator to back up those admin and office buildings. ooh, just how much does the college owe TNB anyway? plus, im sure it wasnt the non-existant rain. a light drizzle could not do that much power shut down.

hey, dont leave yet. i havent even started ranting. this post has been tagged "anger management" alright. im not mad at the college for wiping out my previous blog post. may i begin.

college. people. they come hand-in-hand but you dont always get the perfect pair. at least, if you do get the good stuff all the time, someone has to pick up the bad apples right? what? you totally dont relate? well, go ahead read LOLing away or, goodbye.

the situation:

im taking the compulsory co-curricular programme this semester in contemporary dance. (it ends on the same weekend as CF.) there are two levels, and im currently in level one which requires each student to pair up for a paper assignment and an individual dance routine assessment. everyone was assigned the title "waltz" and i was assigned to a girl, S*M**. with four weeks to go, guess what happened up to today?

week one: zero progress other than assigning ourselves to each other.

week two: assigning which half-half of the research criteria to each other.

week three: assigning which half-half of the research criteria to each other. yeah, i know! then, i said i would but failed to email my draft to S*M** over the weekend. she hardly pest me about it. how nice.

week four, night before dateline: S*M** texted me that her comp is down and cannot retrieve anything from it. she asks me in HER WORDS/SMS "jz go2 the website,copy n paste oni..jz finish my part n tmr print it out..i'm so sorry about it.." i believe her and told her to use the CIT the (next) morning since she made it sound so easy, and dance doesnt start until 2pm, which is the assignment dateline and dance assessment day. i did not hear from her after that first and last reply. come to think of it, she never pest me. how nice.

week four, hours before dateline: S*M** still hasnt reply me about it. im itching to go ask the dance advisor, YYY for an extension but my class starts at 8.00am and the office doesnt open until 8.30am. after my 8-10am class, i went to CIT to complete the cover page of the assignment and continue to await S*M**'s half but no sign. still hopeful, i went to the office, but found it was lunch break and YYY wont be back until 1.30pm!

no kidding, i went back to CIT, skipped my 12-2pm lecture to complete the non-existant half of the assignment and printed it without S*M**'s name coz i was RUSHING so badly i dropped my only spectacle and stepped on it, and HONESTLY forgot to add her name since she dint even bother to tell me her full name and student ID number of which both were required to be on the cover page.

i arrived at the dance venue, met YYY, relate to her the problem of my partner's computer, and i was told to hand in the assignment as individual: leave out her name on the assignment. plus, i managed to get S*M** an extension until friday morning, no strings attached.

holding the 13 sheets of paper, i waited for S*M** at the dance venue for her last and final chance. at least if she completed her half by then even if it was the last-est minute i would run to the nearest printer and redo the pages. it was past 2pm and i had borrowed a stapler from a staff to bind the assignment. when we met, what happened was, sad to say, i had an unappreciative partner.

*warning: CAPS LOCK*

SU MAY! I CANNOT RUIN YOUR NAME, AND YET I CANNOT LEAVE OUT THE CO-STAR OF MY BLOG POST? PLEASE STOP BEING WHAT YOU ARE AND GOOGLE YOUR OWN NAME - COME HERE AND READ ME!

how nice of you to confront me calmly. i certainly was comfortable talking to you being the PR student that you are. but dont make fun of me when i get teary-eyed: it is my weakness that they water when i least need them. btw thanks for spreading the word to other people: i hope you are embarassed by your mistake and learn! nobody is gonna sympatise with you. here's why:

1. you keep repeating the "we are a pair" thing. telling me i shouldnt have left your name out. telling me you will pay for the printing and binding. telling me, "how could you do this to me?" CAN YOU EVEN ANSWER THAT IF I WERE TO ASK YOU BACK? dont you think its funny i can finish my half, skip a lecture and proper lunch, finish your half, print, bind, got an extension from the advisor, all before the dateline yet YOU CANNOT?

BY GEORGE! YOU DO NOT DESERVE FREE CREDIT ON THE ASSIGNMENT THAT I WORKED ALONE. AND I CERTAINLY DONT WANT YOUR MONEY FOR THE ASSIGNMENT! WHAT PART OF A PAIR HAVE YOU DONE?!

2. you dont like the fact that you have to work on the assignment individually under two days? why, my dear, why? i got YYY to grant you an extension - you are not in trouble as i had told you so. BUT YOU HAD TO TELL IT TO MY FACE, "DONT LIE. WHAT DID YOU TELL YYY?"

DONT LIE? DONT LIE, YOU SAY! I TRUST YOU TO THE T AND ALL YOU OFFER IS DOUBT OF MY HONESTY?! ITS ONLY MY FAULT WE PROCRASTINATE ON THE DANCE ASSIGNMENT? ITS ONLY MY FAULT YOU COULDNT SKIP A CLASS TO FINISH YOUR HALF ON THE DATELINE MORNING? ITS ONLY MY FAULT YOU GOT AN EXTENSION WHEN NOBODY ELSE WAS GRANTED? ASK YYY IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME.

TELL ME, IF I CAN FINISH YOUR PART IN ONE DAY, WHY CANT YOU FINISH THE HALF (ASSIGNED TO ME) THAT'S LEFT, IN TWO DAYS? WHY? IS IT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO DO THE ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT FROM PAGE ONE? WHY NOT POSSIBLE WITH TWO DAYS?

3. exactly what sort of mishap happened to you before the dateline assignment? your computer broke down. your boyfriend dumped you. you lost your way home from clubbing. you had insomnia. you got up with a terrible hangover. you staggered to your 8am class. you had a lousy presentation which cost you 20% off your exam. you lost your contact lenses. you slept through your next class which cost you your mid term exam marks. you forgot the whole dance routine. you dont want to see me.

LOOK. I DONT CARE WHAT ARE YOUR EXCUSES BUT IF YOU WANT EXCUSE, I'LL GIVE YOU EXCUSES! I STAYED UP LATE WELL PAST MIDNIGHT. I HAVE OTHER ASSIGNMENTS TOO. I NEED SLEEP TOO. I HAVE TO TRAVEL UP TO TWO HOURS TO GET TO COLLEGE. I HAD AN 8.00AM CLASS. I ALSO HAVE A 12PM CLASS WHICH I SKIPPED. MY SPECTACLE GOT STEPPED ON AND SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE AND UNCOMFORTABLE TO WEAR. I DID NOT HAVE LUNCH. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE SLICE OF BREAD I TOOK FROM BREAKFAST.

conclusion:
i may have began on a bad start but i have done as best as i can to the last second for Su May and i. i honestly dont want to give her free credit because it is not fair to. im sorry she had to be the first i totally bail out on an assignment. but im not gonna let people leach from me again, you hear me! im sick of housing parasites. taking orders like a slave should only STAY in movies. taking orders like a maid should only STAY in cosplay. i am not anyone's but my own servant and master. dont order me around for real!

GO AHEAD. FLAME ME. SAY ITS MY FAULT. BLAME ME. POINT THE FINGER AT ME. if you do, chances are you are as much of a leach or lazybones or ENJOY BEING PUSHED AROUND.

Digitalized!

yaaay~ finally completed my first tracing/vector/cg/whats-it-called today!

initially, (last year!) i sketched it on paper with reference from gankutsuou promo poster. im not sure if i got the collar right coz gankutsuou himself was supposed to stand right behind edmond and his left arm was in front of edmond. simple symmetrical imagination did the trick. XD

then, spent one night tracing it with an online tutorial. trashed the first set of texture blending (from a marble flooring website!) and today, here is the outcome (with new "clothes" from several graphix website - sorry, i cant credit them coz i forgotten which from where, but you can come claim from me!)


(click for full resolution - dont worry, i uploaded it 50% smaller than the original .psd!)

started with this coz i get to skip the colouring/shading part! (if you just check out the anime, you'd know.) comments very much welcomed~

Note: strictly no claiming it is your work! gankutsuou does not belong to me but GONZO.
