Toy Con!! :D
Monday, June 30, 2008 @ 2:29 PM
*Tata~*
So when he reached, we quickly but painfully made our way to Suntec Convention Hall. We didn’t actually know which level to go, thus we followed the massive trail of crowd all the way up to level 6. The place is OMG overcrowded with people!! No space to move! Too short cannot see anything! Scare will get lost in the crowds. But heh, I did enjoy myself there. I met Eclair, Dempster, Digimon guy, Jonathan and Lisa there as well! Such a coincidence. So crowded yet we still can spot each other! :)
Now for “some” random pictures I took while I was there:
So you can see that there are a lot of toys (general and designer), comics, animation, gaming, design and Cosplay (Yup, there are people cosplaying there as well). Moreover, all the exhibitors are from all over the world! And I didn't know that a lot of people in Singapore are interested in these! But I most probably think, as this is the first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention, people being typical Singaporeans tend to be "Kiasu".
And these are the stickers I bought at $1 each.
I like tokidoki merchandise!! So cute!~
I do want a pure white rubik cube~ :(
I think a white rubiks would suit me because
I do not know how to play the actual rubiks =X
AND IT'S PRETTY!!

KHK08! It has finally arrived!
Sunday, June 29, 2008 @ 12:55 AM
Today is the Miyuki Red White Anime Songs Battle ACTUAL DAY! Reached CCK at 12noon and stayed there until 9.30pm+. Is this crazy or what?! My duty there is as you all should know is a vibrator (a person who vibrates on stage… eh! Don’t think dirty hoh!) and prop person. I have been running all over the place, here and there and there and here, before the event starts. AND I LOVE RUNNING AROUND WITH BALLOONS~ So fun!
Lots of balloons blown up for the event! :)
People decorating the stage with balloons, while I'm slacking... I mean resting! =X
And finally when everything begins at 7.30pm, I was damn excited and had butterflies in my stomach! Because the mini dance that I'm dancing is the first one to start off the entire event! I was really really REALLY afraid that I would forget my steps and make a huge fool out of myself as I am one of the front dancers who don’t get to “follow” others when dancing. But after the dance, I feel really proud of myself! I didn’t do any steps wrongly! :D So happy! I wanna dance somemore please? xD
Btw, here are the 16 songs of the event:
Love Tropicana; Sorairo Days; Curriculum; Maggaare Spectacle; Chiisana Inori; Kiss~ Kaerimichi no Love Song; Zessei Bijin; Be Survivor; Ai wo Torimodose; Daybreak’s Bell; Innocent Starter; Naraku no Hana; One more time, One more chance; Chikai no Tsuki; Brightdown; Redemption.
And here are the pictures of some of the performances:
Love Tropicana!
You can actually see me, teddy, ahsie and Lisa on stage!
(Jackie and Calyx are on the other side) Oh! What fun!~
One of the scenes of Zessei Bijin~ *^o^*
Rykal singing Daybreak’s Bell.
My, my, she has A LOT of fangirls! And I am not kidding!
*imagines Akiha kyaaa-ing when she sees this*
Eyvvone for Innocent Starter~
Last but not least, the Emcees!
I almost forget about the group photos of all the singers and dancers!
(Sadly they didn't include the vibrators... T_T~)
AND THE RED TEAM WON THIS YEAR!~
After the event was over, everyone retreated back to the Activity Room to pack and exchange contacts. ((And I finally get to meet Tsukikage! Hello Tsuki! If you are seeing this!)) Farhan sang one paragraph of the “One More Strand” song that he made up for the “One more time, One more chance” song. Everyone practically forced him into singing the song. *smirks* And I’ve got the video~ and including the other video recordings of 4 dances during the event.
Later on, Farhan brought over a black garbage bag to me saying, “I think you can fit inside.” The next thing I knew, someone carried me and put me into the garbage bag immediately. Looks like they want to find out whether I can fit inside or not. And they started taking pictures of me in it. After this, I escaped and went home! I don’t want to get placed into garbage bags again!
Okay... I looked like a homeless person living in a garbage bag...
My stare is like "Do not try to take my garbage bag! Or I will bite!"
Although there were teeny-weeny glitches and mistakes,
nevertheless this year KHK08 WAS A SUCCESS! *cheers*
Congrats the Red Team for winning!
Excellent job well done singers, dancers, vibrators, helpers and everyone who is part of it! Hope to see you guys again during the chalet's BBQ!~ :D
I really enjoyed myself and I'm glad that I did make more friends! Looks like my circle of friends has increased in circumference again!~ :) Okay! I really have to sleep now and my body is like aching all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *poofs*

5guys and 1 girl team! xD of course messy ar~
This workshop is really enjoyable! Thank you Johnatton :) I seriously had so much fun and sorry if I didn't show it ._. Can't really show true emotions around people I don't really know. Moreover, I enjoyed BLUFFING the year 1s that I'm a year 2 student. I tried fooling them with the "Diploma in Sonic Arts" course nonsense. But alas, it failed! Anyway, they left the workshop still believing that I'm in year 2 :P [Heh~ I didn't even do the worksheet they gave.]

TESTICLES! xD!
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 @ 9:46 PM
(^0^)/ The recent Histopathology and Cytology lesson I had, which is on 24th June, was about testicles, the male reproductive tract. (Actually I was planning to skip this lesson, because I DO NOT want to learn about testicles.) The problem was about a guy injuried one of his testicles during a hockey game and he is worried that the injurt would affect his fertility.
Anyway, this guy's injury is called testicular trauma. Or maybe testicular torsion ;) Quick go google images for testicular torsion!
You can see images of testicle being open up to be twisted back to normal! xD
So let's skip to the interesting part! During the 2nd meeting, the facilitator brought in models of the male/female reproductive tract.
Here is the male one xD
You can join it together with its another half to form the whole entire thing.
Next, Sylvia... she anyhow play with the models doing stuff like this.
Pig surrounded by penises.
Still got alot of sick ones but I don't want to post them up.
So yea! I can say that this is one of the most interesting Histopathology and Cytology lessons I have ever had :) I'm glad I didn't skip it! :D

Deckleswood!
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 @ 2:03 AM
Deckleswood is finally back! After such a long time! I still can remember the times I played this roleplaying chat game during secondary 2. I had lots of fun!~ So I decided to join back to renew these memories of mine. So here is my character that I will be role playing as:
Character's Name: Fayette Adelais
Character's Age: 14 years of age
A brief bio of your character:
Fayette Adelais was of royalty and great nobility. A princess to be exact. However, her parents died of a tragic death. They were assassinated during their sleep. Fayette witnessed her parents’ death when she coincidentally woke up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. She was terrified but was able to escape from the clutches of the assassins. Fayette hid in alleyways of the nearby town, surviving with just mere scraps of food. And that was when she discovered she has magic. Fayette was able to conjure flames of warmth to keep her from freezing during the rainy nights.
One day, a tall man in black cloak hurried passed her alleyway and accidently dropped a slip of paper without noticing. Fayette came out of her covers and picked up the paper. The paper stated, “Astraea Academy of Witches and Wizards.” She was stunned and realized she could be one of them!! So she decided to find this school and learnt more about herself. And she did. She got accepted into the school and learnt that her mother was a well-known witch with great powers and her father was a mere muggle king. A half-blood! That’s what she is. However things went wrong, when one of the seniors picked on her and insulted not only her but her parents as well. Fayette went into a fury of rage, lost control and nearly burnt the whole school down. Therefore, she was then referred and transferred to the Deckleswood School. Little that she know, she is about to start her real adventure here in school as a 4th grader and uncover more secrets of her mother’s past.
The subjects I have taken are Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA), Herbology and Astronomy. Actually I have taken one more subject which is called Transfiguration, but the professor of that subject left, so it was cancelled. Being in DADA class, makes me a prefect in the school!! xD And I have already received my homework for DADA class, which I have to pass it up by 28th June. Or off to detention, I go :(

Happy Belated Birthday, Mushroom!~
Monday, June 16, 2008 @ 9:11 PM
Today, we hereby celebrate Shuhua's birthday! Everything was planned nicely although there are some hiccups here and there, but they are not very obvious. And the shirt was designed during the holidays. Audrey and I crossed over mountains and raging rivers to get the cake and back. Mission Accomplished!
The birthday cake! Chocolate, Shuhua's favourite xD
So thick. So sweet. I could only eat one slice.
Shuhua is really happy with her new "Mushroom" shirt!
After eating the delicious cake (no, it's not a lie),
we took a few group pictures before going back to class.
A normal shoot. You can see that we are all wearing the Akira Star Uniform.
Black shirts + Blue Jeans. So cool! xD Looks like a crew.
This is like the most hilarious shot we had!
In order to celebrate Shuhua's birthday, we all had to act like mushrooms.
(Although some of us looks like we are having a major headache =X)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHUHUA AGAIN! LEVEL 19 ALREADY!!

Reborn? I mean... rebond!
Sunday, June 15, 2008 @ 8:52 PM
Finally! I get to rebond my hair~ I always envy those people with SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME straight hair. So yea, together with my two other friends, Puikwan and Audrey. We went to Chinatown, Tiong Bahru to check out the prices of the different hair saloon. In the end, we went to Bukit Merah's Creative Gallery. We had the ice rebonding package costs us $130 each, that includes cutting, treatments (4 of them) and of course, rebonding. Sat there for around 3hours straight and washed hair for 4 times. Now my hair smells like ammonia but I kinda like it. (I like the smell of ammonia ever since secondary school.) and we can't wash our hair for 2 days!!!
Yes lah! My hair doesn't look very obvious as compared as my friends'.
But! Now I shoot for shampoo advertisement! xD
I didn't realized my hair looks longer now!
I know it's obvious that I'm the shortest...............
...
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHUHUA!
HAPPY FATHERS' DAY!!

Love Tropicana!
Saturday, June 14, 2008 @ 11:12 PM
Today, went for my KHK rehearsal again!! Next saturday would be a full dress rehearsal with makeup and all! But... I don't even know what is my dress code........... Anyway! The date and timing has been confirmed for the actual event!~
Saturday @ Keat Hong
MIYUKI
RED WHITE
Anime Song Battle
28June
7.30pm - 9.00pm
@CCK Hardcourt Opposite Lot 1
Free admission
Any of you who wants to pop by and take a look, do feel free to do so. I'll be dancing for the first song, Love Tropicana! If you spot me on stage, please... I SAY PLEASE... Don't try to distract meeeeee... Thank you. *Example: Waving frantically like someone stranded on an island, doing big actions like standing, pointing and obviously laughing at me.* These are no-nos.
So after the rehearsal, I went to the gym with Puikwan to train on my running and sit ups. I think I ran too fast on the treadmill. The speed too high but it's my usual running speed and running at that speed gives me great satisfaction :D Tomorrow I'll die with aches and pains everywhere. I can already feel them coming~~~
((Yes! I'll remember to return your pretty rubberband tomorrow.))
When coming home, I spotted something on the walkway. I wondered... Is it what I think it is? So I squatted down and started poking it. *pokepoke* Omg. It's wet and it hops... It's a KAPO!!! I mean a frog... It could be a toad... But I think it's most likely a frog. SO CUTE!
Sorry!! I know it's not very clear... But you see it right???
The next thing I did was... TO GRAB IT!!! xD I grabbed it with my right hand and it squirted/oozed out water(?) (Btw, it looks kinda bloated up when I first saw it.) Immediately, I dropped the frog and ran all the way home to wash my hands. The frog didn't like me! My mama scolded me for touching dirty things... But really! I can't help it. xD
Back home, Johnatton introduced to me SPORE™ Creature Creator. He created oh-so-many cute creatures with that programme! So I decided to try it out for myself. And here is my first SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME creature!! Named: Reptica. (random name)
Ain't it cute?~

Stressss! Soooo Scary!!
@ 1:01 AM
Heard that my facilitator for my FYP has already sent in the comments for the report. BUT!! She didn't receive my completed report; and only my incompleted report! My 5,292 words report!!! My precious hard work! I tried to send her the completed one but the whole webmail JAMMED and KILLED itself.
I almost went into a panic attack. I immediately checked my msn for online teammates. And to my dismay, no one was online! DAMN IT! I'm so fucked up now! This is what I thought. Quickly, I thought of an alternate route which is to sms Joshua. Yes, that teammate of mine in FYP. And yes, he took his sweet time to go online and asked me what happened.
From there, I found out what's the problem. My report size is too big to send over!!! 35mb! I had to get my report into a slimming programme immediately. I tried changing the pictures into PNG file. But it failed! Pathetically. It didn't reduce its size but INCREASE IN IT! From 35mb to a friggin' 60mb! I was shocked! I quickly get help from my trusty photoshop to help out in the slimming programme. And by working hand in hand with Paint, the slimming programme was a success! My report has slimmed down from 35mb to 1.2mb!!! :D:D:D
With that, I quickly sent the report over. I hope that it will turn out fine and my facilitator will receive it this time. If not, I can just "go home" already.........
Thank you Joshua for your help and STOP CALLING ME CHIBI JOHN! :@

Hisui no Shizuku: Hiiro no Kakera 2 Cosplay
Monday, June 09, 2008 @ 12:41 AM
I had my photoshoot today~ Woke up two hours earlier to prepare! Because I didn't prepare it the night before, was busy writing my storybook and talking ahsie about "stuffs" :$
Here's me after a little make up and wearing contacts.
It's been such a long time since I last wore them! :O
[Oh crap... I just realized you can see a bit of my messy room here...]
So yea, go back to my cosplay. I'm cosplaying a girl from this PS2 game here.
Don't ask me what's this game about bcos I didn't play it...
And here is me.
An Omake xD
Game: Hisui no Shizuku: Hiiro no Kakera 2 (翡翠の雫 緋色の欠片2)
Character: Takachiho Suzu (高千穂 珠洲)
Location: Yewtee Park
Photographer: Rayblade
I have never heard of Yewtee park before until today. It's a really deserted park with no one maintain it at all. Full of mosquitos! Really! I ain't kidding. No wonder no one goes there at all except for some couples who wanted some *ahem* private time. They swarmed around you like you are some huge blood pack. I nearly thought I would get bitten by Aedes mozzie, get Dengue Fever and then Die! But I ended up with ten over mozzie bites all over my legs T_T!~ BUT!! The park is really pretty! It looks like a forest with a clearing in the middle~
See those trees with thin trunks!
There was one part, I had to sit on the ground beneath the tree... It was damn scary, I tell you. Imagine all the different types of funny insects walking and resting all over the ground AND! I'm gonna SIT ON THEM! I saw wood lice, red ants and of course more mozzie flying around me. Once I was done with all the sit down shots, I stood up and started brushing my skirt with my hands. I'm afraid one of those insects would crawl up my skirt and bite my backside... :\ Which of course, I wouldn't want that to happen.
Ray also showed me something very interesting! Empty insect shell things, which I have no idea what are their actual names. I guess I better show you guys the picture instead. As they always say, A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words.
As you can see there are holes at the back of their middle abdomen
where the insects came out from!
SO INTERESTING RIGHT?! This is like my first time seeing such thing.
Okay~ Time to end off! I want to watch my Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. So funny!
Lines from the show:
"Bullying is just wrong, destroying people brains with magical powers is A-Okay!"
"Seems like we have run out of luck, it's just a card game who gives a fuck."
I'll be posting one or two of my photos when Ray send them to me on a later date.
Till then goodbye~ :D
