November

You know, the sound of Nowember somehow radiates this feeling of melancholy and sombre-ness, for some unknown reason.

It's like the season of fall, where everything slows down, dies, and disappears into nothingness. It somehow feels like a season of change, where the leaves detach themselves from their source of support, withering away helplessly as they fall to the ground, unable to defy the law of gravity.


Sometimes, it looks like the trees are growing old, age-ing, dying, shedding their last golden tears made of withered leaves.


And then winter comes along.... Engulfing everything with her pure, silver-white snowflakes that seem to be able to capture the real beauty of Mother Nature, covering all life with coldness, the breeze whispering in hushed tones and humming gentle lullabies to them as they embark on a journey to Dreamland. Life then starts to stop, and the stage is once again quiet, like a death scene right after the gunshot is fired.



But as time passes, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, life starts again, slowly, one step at a time. Her seasons come and go as they please, and the vast sky is never the same everyday, changing constantly depending on Mother Nature's unpredictable moods.


Beneath all that negativity, there is hope.

Halloween

TRICK OR TREAT?!

Yes, that would be the sentence-slash-question kids around the block would be asking, their eyes twinkling with anticipaton and excitement while they bang their fists on your door. But it's becoming seemingly impossible as the rain around my neighbourhood continues to pour and spoil the mood of Halloween.

But it does make the occasion a little creepy, so it's not at all that bad.



Wait, why am I typing this? It's not like Malaysia celebrates Halloween anyway. Ask youself this, do you see jack-o-lanterns popping out anywhere, scaring the shit out of you? The only places that probably celebrate this special festival would be those psycho pubs that only care about attracting naive, innocent youngsters to make big bucks.


Very smart, har har.


Anyways, can't be online for long since lightning is just around the corner. I wouldn't want my modem to be toasted and be a cripple for the rest of its life.


Finally started drawing the poster colour drawing I've always dreamt about drawing and colouring today. Gundam Seed Destiny, Meer Campbell and Lacus Clyne, it's a really nice, contrasting picture I got from the illustration fanbook. Light vs dark, real vs fake; just like life.


Oh well, I might as well finish up the HitsuKarin fanart I've doodled yesterday night, and when I'm done with that, I think I'll start writing some HitsuKarin fics to relieve myself from boredom.



Until next time.

Unexpected

Strangely, I received help from the people I unexpected most to help me when I'm in a dilemma, compared to the people who I most expected to help me.


Not saying that they're evil or anything, but I just feel a bit disappointed. No offence meant.



I sincerely thank Mathura, Hui Wen, Ee Aun, Shi Li, Tharisini and Siok Zhao (even though you went to KL in the middle of the preparations, but you still helped me a lot) for once again reminding me that you don't need a reason to help someone, and that help comes from the very bottom of your heart naturally without expecting anything back.


Thank you, for helping me with the worst times and co-operating with me and withstanding with my temper when I was a nervous wreck and acted like a bitch that deserved to be slapped in the face. I'm sorry that I only could repay you guys the favour by only sharing the bread I brought for the play.



We tried our very best, didn't we? For me, that's all that matters.

Nostalgia II

I've seen quite a number of people I knew back in primary school then. And whenever I see their faces, it makes me feel nostalgic. They didn't seem to change much, except for the external features like hairstyles and stuff.





Sometimes, I just wished I could go back in time.







But then, life now is pretty great for me, so I shouldn't really say too much. :)













I forgot my password to my computer just now, and I panicked for quite some time. But in the end, when I wasn't thinking about the answer to the password anymore, it just came back to me like magic. Stuff like that do happen sometimes, don't they?





Changing my password now. And I swear I'll remember it this time.

Epic freak out

I got the shock of my life when my dog ran out of the house, twice.

I experienced an epic freakout when Dhivya (no offence if I spelled her name wrongly) ended her speech so fast. Wait, I was already experiencing it when I noticed the previous speakers' speeches being so short. The freak out just come to the peak when it was my turn to give my crappy, shitty POV (point of view) on why women are better teachers than men.


And I sucked, sucked, sucked and sucked and sucked and sucked like shit.



To be honest though, I actually really wanted to be on the negative side. Point, you CANNOT stereotype people like that and be prejucidal. Seriously... But as seeing that the negative side was full, I decided to join the government house.


No offence people, but all the points our house was talking about were all alike, almost the same. Dedicated, convincing, caring, gentle.... I'm not denying that there's a fine, thin line between those traits but actually, the examples that we can sum up are pretty much all the same.




Okay, I know, you guys out there can think of much more examples than me. I'm a pea brain, a person with no sense of creativity at all, so excuse me...



No offence meant. That sounded mean, but I just strongly believe that prejudicing and stereotyping people like that is wrong, you don't give them a chance to express themselves, thus limiting them and yeah... whatever. I know you guys don't give a shit about what I'm babbling (like an idiot) about here anyway.




Sigh, I'm pissed. I don't know why.



I'm aware (I seem to have used a lot of "I know that I'm ...' verses in this blog, so I'll change) that I shouldn't really bring the topic of the debate back here into my blog since it's already over, but I just feel that I needed to tell you guys who witnessed and those who were in the debate today. The opposition house had said that women are beauty conscious and always wear pretty clothes and always wear skirts while coming to school. And you guys mentioned that the female teachers don't wear trackpants and sneakers and normal T-shirts to school.



Well excuse me for being blind and seeing the teachers in our school wearing trackpants and T-shirts during Sukantara. Sports Day doesn't count because it's not in school, I know.


And FYI, it is a government rule that all female teachers are required to wear skirts to school. I used to wonder why don't they wear pants to school too but then I found out from a teacher that being a female teacher, you can't wear trousers to school, only skirts.

I wanted to POI them on this point but as seeing it was denied, meh.



No offence was meant to any of you reading this, I just felt that I needed to get this off my chest or else I'll experience insomnia. Sorry, I don't have a copy of those National Day speeches played on LCD's in school to help me sleep at night. Beethoven and Mozart don't help so yeah...


Anyways, enough of the debate thingy. It's over anyway, I just want to congratulate Li Yan and Tang for being the best speakers in each round!!! Three cheers to you guys!!!! You guys deserved it!!! Hip hip, hooray!!




Moving on, I received the shock of my life when our Rottweiler (sp?) escaped from our house twice. Yes people, twice in a freaking day, wOw.

I told Zhi Wen about all the details just now on the phone, so I'm too lazy to repeat myself. I'll probably come back to edit this post and add on the details or write another post about this some other day. But right now, I just couldn't really care less.




Signing off now, a really good job to all the speakers who went on stage today!! You guys were like, wow! Excluding me of course, like I said, I sucked like shit. And I don't really want to have a recap about today's incident.


But I did gain a whole lot of useful experience and learnt lots of lessons (aliteration!!! XD) today. Thanks a lot for providing me this oppurtunity.



Cheerio!!!

Envy

Yesh, remember the seven deadly sins? Envy, gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, sloth and pride?


I'm feeling envious now, in a good way or bad whichever.


Why is it that JB doesn't offer any Photoshop courses on lineart and CG tutorials? Okay, maybe they do, but it's just not really publicized to society.

I know DeviantArt has a few tutorials that can help, but somehow, I can't friggin understand a word they're saying. At times like these, it is much more useful to learn practically rather than just in theory.




I'm not making sense, whatever. Don't give a shit. (I'm pissed because I'm not a morning person.)




On a brighter note, I've just visited the Comic Fiesta website and found out that the Comic Fiesta 2009 is to be held on the 19th and 20th of December in Sunway Pyramid.






I.WANT.TO.GO.



Seriously, I've always anticipated this event ever since it came out on papers two years ago (as well as the rare and invaluable trips to Kinokuniya). I hope sis's SPM would be over by then. And I hope that mum and dad would agree to take me there.


Wait, if they can't, I don't mind going alone. All they have to do is just book me a bus ticket and a cheap hotel room for me to overnight and give me some money (enough to buy all the goods and merchandise, of course, and probably enough to make a trip to Kinokuniya). I just really want to go.......................... I had missed last year's event and I DON'T WANT to miss this year's.




But anyways, coming back to the main topic... if you guys are interested in the Comic Fiesta, I recommend that you go and enjoy the event. It's really fun and there are lots of doujinshi's, and you can easily get a commission for just five bucks or ten, at most.








I'll beg even if I have to in order to go. I don't care, I'm a whiney brat, I'll beg and pester them until they let me go.

I thank my lucky stars and the gods above

for giving me a distinction in the New South Wales English Exam. I am honoured.









Can you believe it? This is my first time getting a distinction!!! I'm so happy!!! And yes, I am that dumb to only get a distinction in... four years of taking the exam. But ah well, I can't really care less. I'm just really happy right now. :3







On the other hand, cousin Sze Jia's birthday is just a few hours away. I hereby wish her a really Happy Birthday and hope that she'll celebrate it well in good ol' Aussie...



Anyways, no time to lose now. I still have tons of KyoHaru fics yet to be read. Toodles people!!!
