Decided to update this blog before it starts rotting.

Yay~ Our second doujinshi, Lost Child Cat, has been released. Download it at our site, www.blacklilac-scans.blogspot.com . But note that the file is VERY big, like 93 MB or so, so be patient when downloading it.

Finally ordering the wigs for EOY/SOYA cosplay festival. Buying like 7 wigs this time, 5 of which is is for my Tsubasa crew (cosplayed by my friends), and 2 from KHR. (Chrome's and Mukuro's). I'm still thinking of setting up a small blogshop to sell wigs for cosplay, but still have yet to decide cause I don't know the prospects of the business becoming successful...

First paper starts tomorrow. Totally hoping for this FYE thing to end sooner...

*shall start on teppen! 7 soon~*

2009-08-18T02:21:00.001-07:00

Some of my Drocell cosplay pics. Well, I realised that I was too individualistic and I need to adopt more of the characters' traits. But I shall try again, after all I'm cosplaying as Drocell for EOY as well, so probably by then, I'd be a better cosplayer. These pictures were taken from forum sites, so I'd like to thank the photographers and Si Hui for taking such awesome pics of me.

Well, haven't been updating lately because blogger practically can't upload pics and all so it totally sucks. Went Plaza Sing today with Jie'r and Wen Qi. Gotta thank them because I finally found the armoured ring that I was desperately searching for:)

Also, Happy Teachers' Day! Thank you especially to Ms Vicky, for being such an awesome teacher:D

2009-08-16T05:04:00.000-07:00

Well, went to Coscon today as Drocell from Kuroshitsuji. I was really nervous and all since it's my first time and all, but it gradually got better. My poses were stiff and all, but I guess I'd improve before EOY, since I'm intending to do Drocell again, but this time as a group with a lot of others. Pictures would be uploaded when I get them from Si Hui, but apparently about 100+ shots of me were taken and all...

EOY, Si Hui's gonna do Butler Grell. Met Dawn and Cherilyn at Coscon as well, they went as Ruka and Yuki from VK. They were really cute. But after the interview with them, we went our separate ways and finally left the place at 5.30.

I thought that this event was really cool, since it's my first cosplaying event. I also thought that the exhibitions put up were great. Can't wait for EOY cosplaying event again:)

2009-08-15T08:05:00.000-07:00

Got my cosplay costume. Everything is going well... bought my make-up stuff and all, maybe the only problem is the reddish-pinkish make up, but i'm prolly gonna just use pink. Bought a total of about $153 for the make-up stuff. I don't look like drocell, but i'm actually quite anticipating, hopefully there's gonna be quite a lot of cosplayers, if not i'll look awkward...

Just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU TO AUNT HELENE, MY PARENTS, AND MY FRIENDS:) Because without you guys, I don't think i'll ever get a chance to do what i'm going to do tomorrow...

2009-08-12T01:27:00.000-07:00

phew. The shoes finally came. And wow, i didn't think it'd look like that. Well, the sole area was relatively small, but i guess i could still wear it, provided my feet doesn't grow anymore. So everything's done except the tatoo on the face bit and the fitting of the clothes. Aunt Helene said that she's done with the pants and halfway through with the blouse. She said that she also left the gather that she has yet to sew on with the pants, i bet they'll look great since it's Aunt Helene we're talking about.

SS common test was...okay. I left 2 sentence to finish the entire question, realised that i spent way too long on the 2 sided compare and contrast question (like i always do). Physics, was do-able. And lit.... well, i don't have to aim high for that one, since i've never really liked lit nor have i tried my best to score well for it. Tomorro's A math and history. Hopefully both are okay...

2009-08-11T00:27:00.000-07:00

I'm feeling extremely jittery now, can't seem to concentrate on doing anything except panick. I've yet to receive my shoes! I mean, I've already received my wig which was sent from Hebei, like north of China, and i've yet to receive someting from Shanghai, though they were sent like on the same night... The worst thing is that i've already paid for the shipping fee, the transaction fee and the item fee, which amounts to about $100++.
*argh! please let it be sent over...*

2009-08-10T00:59:00.000-07:00

Common test is next week yet I feel no pressure, nor any desire to study for it (though i WILL try). Teppen! 05 is out so you peeps can go download it at www.blacklilac-scans.blogspot.com . Please do keep our tagboard alive and email us for any manga requests you have (because we're short on projects). It's best that these mangas requested have available raws on the net, so as to make our work easier, since we're still not prepared to be self-sufficient in providing for our own raws.

Too tired to post any more.

2009-07-31T07:32:00.000-07:00

Been really busy. Going to be a hectic week ahead, with common test in a weeks' time, toycon in 2 and project due in 2 and a half. The worst part?, i haven't got my costume done (haven't even started), haven't bought the shoes, wig and contact lens.

Sigh, had oral. English was screwed up but I guess Chinese was okay...

Anyways, was tried my hands at photoshop. Colouring sensei from Chocolate Cosmos, if it's good, we might just make it a banner:) [of course, it's gotta be approved by my sensei, our graphics designer first].

*I know. It's incomplete and could be improved. Technically, it's unfinished so yeah*
I'll try to finish soon, and then we can compare the before, in between and after. Hopefully, it looks good...

Well, I received constructive comments from Si Hui. Basically only the face was "acceptable". The colours are too dull and the shadings on the shirt is horrible (I know! I worked on it for so long because it looks weird no matter how I coloured/shade). I didn't colour his eyes and I slacked off on the apron and stuff. (gonna continue tomorrow, I'm too tired so I stopped)

Speaking of which, Teppen! 05 would be out real soon, well as soon as I get the files from our proofreader (which I have no idea when, since her tablet broke - literally).

That's it, ciao.

2009-07-26T04:19:00.000-07:00

Alright, Chocolate Cosmos 09 is all set for release. We're really proud to have done this within "quite" a short period of time. Kudos to Rachel, Cindy and Deepa for their brilliant work. Chapter 10 won't be out so quickly because all of us are busy studying for tests and not to mention, Common Test is like in 2 weeks time!? We'll be extra busy with school and all so gomene if you have to wait a long time for the next release.

Visit our us at www.blacklilac-scans.blogspot.com to tag us and all. By the way, we're still open to manga requests, so if you have any manga that you're dying for us to scanlate, just give us a tag or an email. Just a little reminder, please request mangas/manhwas that either take a long time to be out, dropped or new. We don't wanna be doing something that is currently an active project by another scanlating team. Also, we're only able to scanlate Japanese manga and Chinese Manhwa, so we're really sorry if you want Korean Manhwa (of course, unless we can find it in chinese or something).

So keep your requests coming! Continue to support our works, thanks!

Editing of Teppen! 05 done~

2009-07-25T01:00:00.000-07:00

Great news~ I'm finally done with the editing for Teppen! Gosh, a long chapter. There's 45 pages, and I think it IS the end of Teppen!. Not too sure about it, but I think so, cause it says owari which means end. So yeah. Chocolate Cosmos is being QC-ed so expect a release, or maybe two, REAL SOON~

2009-07-24T07:15:00.000-07:00

I know Racial Harmony's like long over but blogger keeps dying on me, preventing me from blogging this really memorable day. Well, this year, we could dress up AGAIN. Everything was the same as before except for the fact that we didn't have assembly in the hall due to H1N1. We still had loads of fun - camwhoring. Well, this year, i wore a HANBOK again, courtesy of my Auntie Helene. Yup, so the few pictures were taken during assembly period where it was mostly free period...
Oh, and I also know that I tied my Hanbok ribbon thingy the wrong way. I tied it ribbon-style though I know there is a specific way to do it, so yeah...

Picture by Sarvena. Me on the left, and Aki on the right.

Well, me. I was trying to adjust the hanbok.

That's it for RHD pics. Well, a lil' update on our scanlation team, since it feels neglected. Well, good news~ We're done with Chocolate Cosmos 09 editing, so all that is left is QC-ing, and we're ready for release! I'm half way done with the editing of Teppen!, though I'd like to say that the translation's ain't that good due to the fact, that the chinese is weird, and the phrasing of it is weird too, so don't expect too much from this chapter. No news about Angel Sky and You're my treasure. Chocolate Cosmos 10 is translated and ready to be edited, but we'll give dear Cindy a break since she spent alot of effort in chapter 09!

Yup, that's it for todays post:)

2009-07-19T05:55:00.000-07:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qin4UptOEsI

this video is awesome. It's a Japanese show where they teach you how to wake up, dress up and eat breakfast in 5 mins. The guy is amazing!

I think I'm gonna cosplay as Drozell Keinz from Kuroshitsuji for ToyCon. This was recommended by Si Hui, and I think that it'll be cool too. Hopefully I look convincing. Starting to learn how to make clothes from my Auntie, next week.

Also, I'm gonna like have 4 tests this week. History is tomorrow, and I've yet to study. I've also not done a single homework...feeling so slack... Been typesetting Teppen! Chapter five. I've done it like until page 10 or so... Chocolate Cosmos chapter nine is also partially done, still on with editing and stuff. Angel Sky and You're my treasure are currently being translated by Hui Yi and Yi Bin. So I expect to be releasing the chapters pretty soon since we're more than half way done with majority of the chapters...

2009-07-17T07:19:00.000-07:00

Been crap busy lately, staying up till like 11.15 every night...

Finally got the time to listen to SID's new album : Hikari. It's a really awesome album.

*Cover for their new album*

2009-07-13T02:17:00.000-07:00

Did you guys managed to go to Cosfest 09 during the weekends? Well, I only managed to go on Sunday though. The cosplaying were awesome especially the Gundam one and Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist.

These photos are courtesy of Si Hui. *there are just WAY too many photos to be uploaded. So yeah, I've only posted about half of day one pictures.*

Day One

Day Two

There were more pics but i'm sorry i can't upload more, too tired, too lazy and too busy. Anyways, PLEASE SUPPORT BLACK LILAC SCANS!

2009-07-11T09:30:00.000-07:00

It's 12.39 am and I'm trying to rush through my homework so I can go to Cosfest tomorrow. No idea what I'm gonna wear!!! *stress*

Chocolate Cosmos. We're probably gonna pick this up. We're done with the translations and we're editing/typesetting and stuff now. Our new translator is just totally awesome, she stayed up till 2.30 am just to help us, so better be grateful when we release it. Again, Cindy's doing all the editing/excess cleaning/typesetting and all.

Oneshots. I think we're gonna pick up another new project called Angel Sky by Kurumatani Haruko if no group is doing it. This project is not confirm cause our other jap translator has yet to reply. Oh by the way, it's her birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUI YI (Kelly)!

Teppen! Chapter 04

2009-07-10T07:18:00.000-07:00

Yo. Had 2 tests today. A & E Maths. E Maths was manageable but A was so screwed up. Got loads of question wrong already, sighs. Anyways, after that, we went to Far East to shop for clothes. But apparently and as usual, I didn't manage to buy any... AGAIN! But I bought a handsock and guess what? We kinda got ripped off. We paid for something which COULD have been $5 cheaper, not considering the quality or anything. I'm not too bothered it by it, but you should have seen the look on Wen Qi's face when she found out that she had been *cheated*!

We're finally done with Teppen! Chapter 04. It's ready for download. We're trying to upload it to mangafox even though we know that Waatame Shoujo has already done it. Also, we've got a new member at Black Lilac. Her name's Rachael and she's also from the same school as all of us, so yeah, it's pretty cool. Yah, our temporary site is also up. So do go and check it out. Apologies for the plain-ness of it, but don't worry cause we're working on the blogskins and all already. Yup, visit us at www.blacklilac-scans.blogspot.com

Download Teppen! Chapter 04 here! Please support us!

2009-07-07T02:59:00.000-07:00

Feeling really restless. Been researching for mangas that have are new/yet to be scanlated/dropped by other groups but to no avail. Anyone got any nice mangas to recommend for us to pick up? Please pm me via my tagboard or send it to our email @ BlackLilac-scans@live.com

Anyways, pictures of my cute figurines that I bought! You can get them at Otaku house @Suntec or at Plaza Sing. I got mine at Plaza Sing though.

OH OH OH, I CAN'T WAIT FOR COSFEST! It's happening this weekend, so do check it out if you have the time:)

2009-07-06T07:45:00.000-07:00

ARGH! SHOCKING NEWS!!!

WATAAME SHOUJO HAS RELEASED TEPPEN CHAPTER FOUR (the project we've been working on for soo long)...

well, i guess there's nothing we can do now, but I think to credit all the members of Black Lilac, we'll be releasing Chapter Four as well. I guess this shows that we might have to drop Chapter Five since it's clear that Wataame Shoujo intends to continue on the project...

Sighs~

2009-07-06T01:29:00.000-07:00

This post will contain activities that I had during the past 2 days. SO BEWARE! Well, had birthday celebrations for my Aunt Helene at Orchidville. Well, the food's so-so, though the dish I like best would be dessert. After that, Aunt Helene brought us to Kbox. Was my first time at Kbox, and it's really different from those usual Karaoke sessions that my mum's uncle would hold once in a while. Had a really hearty time there, sang until my throat was all sore and felt as though the vein at my throat was about to burst. Came home at about 3 am, slept really well, until like 12pm or so...

Journey there...

Check out my french braid

Fang Ting next to me and my retarded face

Sister, Aunt Helene, Jie Jie Pamela

Mum and Dad~

Wei Yang. Sorry for making you suffer with our singing...

Kbox @ Clementi

My sister and I (non-edited; lighting was like that when taken)

Another shot of us~

Crappy fringe...

Eun Eun and I

Well, woke up at 12+pm, had lunch at Coca @ International building. Went Plaza Sing, and bought some really Kuroshitsuji figurines. Gonna post pictures some other day.

Anyways, an update on Black Lilac scans. We're gonna pick up one new project. It's doujinshi, a little smutty, if you classify that little bit as smut. Yup, translations would be handled by Yi Bin. We're thinking of picking up Chocolate Cosmos, requested by Deepa. Not that sure about that yet, because we want to make sure that it's really alright to pick that up and also to make sure that if we do, we would be able to keep releases coming regularly, otherwise it would be pointless. We've got the raws for Chocolate Cosmos, though the quality is not THAT good...

You are my treasure.

Also... GOODBYE MY PRETTY NAILS~ Cleaned them today @ $32

Screw blogger for giving me hard time at uploading images today.

2009-06-26T06:56:00.000-07:00

Went out with Yu Qing and Sui Chyuen today. Watched...

TRANSFORMERS 2: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN

It's a good show. Lots of action and humour and stuff, but for me, I had trouble grasping the story at the beginning. It only becomes clear half way through the movie or like nearing the end. But all in all, I think it's a really cool movie.

We spent like about 1-2 hours at Far East looking for clothes, but in the end.... we bought nothing. Sui Chyuen was the only one who bought something, and what she got was merely a scarf. Now my feet's all aching...

Pictures~ Well, there's only 3 though...

Sui Chyuen with her coke.

Sui Chyuen with her pizza.

Sui Chyuen with Yu Qing.

Hahas, sorry no pictures of me cause that picture really cannot make it.

Yay~ Anyways, got to announce this before I start my homework. Black Lilac's logo (or whatever you would call it) IS OUT! This could only be made possible with the help of Jie'r. Thanks Jie'r! Still have no news about our credits' page though, so really sorry about that...

2009-06-24T06:59:00.000-07:00

tournament today was DISASTROUS. I was super pissed when I went on court for I don't know what reason, and I just totally screwed it up. Did some sole-searching after that, and found that I really should have played more seriously and learn to control my emotions. But it's over, and there's gonna be other opportunities, so I'll just have to work harder on the next one I guess...

Okay, credits' page is supposedly close to half done. We really hope to be able to release it before the school reopens next week. Everything is done, really, except for that and the website (which for the time being is not that important).
*Apologies for the super lateness in all these, because all of us are rushing through our homework before the school reopens*

2009-06-20T07:36:00.000-07:00

ARGH!!!!! My nail broke! The fake nail with the dog came out! (as in the whole piece fell out!). Now my nail is really weird, because there's still bits of the gel that i did still on, and it won't come off with normal nail polish remover!

Today, had match with Commonwealth. I played second singles. So disappointed. I thought it would have been better. The way I played was like not the normal me. After that match, played with Yong Gene and Yu Qing. THEY'RE DAMN FRIGGIN' GOOD! In the end, I couldn't take the pressure of playing doubles with my atrocious and horrendous badminton, so I asked Tanaya and Sham to play. They played and I umpired their first match. The score was 21:19. We lost but I guess it was good exposure, because I think Hua Yi's badminton has improved tremendously... Sigh.. I WANNA IMPROVE TOO!!!!

Hais, next match for Team two is on wednesday against CHIJ Toa Payoh. Another super strong opponent. They played against TKGS the other time and managed to at least win 2 matches. *helpless*

Happy Birthday DAD!

2009-06-17T07:31:00.001-07:00

back from camp. The good news, I think I might have lost some weight, improved a little on my badminton and of course I'M MUSCLE ACHE-LESS! Hahas, everyone was suffering from pains today... Played against Tanjong Katong Girls' yesterday. Well, we lost... My match was the 3rd Singles, so by then score wasn't recorded anymore but anyways, the score was 7-21 and I think it was 24-26. Argh...but that girl I played against was really good despite her small build. Yup, Crescent badminton Team One's having their match tomorrow, and I'm gonna go support them...hopefully they win cos' they trained really hard...

Oh, I also realised something. I bought Teppen! Volume One. And the name for Takeru is actually wrong. His name is actually Shijou Takeru and not Shinjou Takeru. So I guess we've got to change that again. Credits' page should be almost done, and Jie'r's doing the logo for our group.

2009-06-14T08:05:00.000-07:00

Pictures for Street Fest 2009:] Decided I should post the pictures now before I go for Badminton Camp tomorrow:) Hopefully, I'll be able to rush through all the homework that I brought, so that I won't be so burdened on the last week...

2009-06-13T09:06:00.001-07:00

went streetfest today. (well, yesterday, since it's 12.11 am) saw some really cool performances by the bands and some awesome cosplaying! The one that left the most impression on me would be the Undertaker from Kuroshitsuji:D Yup, and half way through, I met Xinyi, Jill, Cherilyn and Dawn there:) I didn't bring a camera so I didn't take any pictures but Si Hui did take a couple, and she'll be sending them to me tomorrow, so I shall upload them tomorrow. (well, techinically, today). I bought the fullmetal alchemist state certification thingy (the one that is a pocket watch) for $18, and a Kunai (from Naruto) for my brother at $10.

Yup, then we went to HVM and saw some people doing the commercial for Coca Cola. Afterwards we walked to Kinokuniya, and I bought Teppen!. Hehex~ Realised that there were in fact quite a lot of errors for the chinese raws because the Teppen! I bought was in Japanese. Yup, walked to Far East and headed for Haru. I was SO SO SO tempted to buy this shirt that cost $128 initially, but was discounted to $48! It was really nice, but the only reason that kept me from buying it was the fact that it was kinda short. It was like somewhere slightly higher than my hip bone, and I'm sure that if i washed it, it would have shrunk and I wouldn't fit in it anymore. BUT IT WAS BODYLINE! Oh well, I guess I can only try me luck another time cos the clothes were really limited, probably due to Streetfest and many people bought clothes bah.

Shall upload pictures tomorrow. *yawns~*

2009-06-11T07:36:00.000-07:00

had training with friendly match for 2 days. Tuesday we played against Republic Poly and today we played against West Wood. I think now my body's all muscular after all that weights carrying and physical that we did. Having badminton camp on monday, and I'm bringing hairspray, to do Hui Yi's hair. Hahas, I'm gonna doll her up into the Kelly look. So, I'm quite anticipating it. After that on tuesday, I'm gonna have WKM Cup, and I'm playing singles... ARGH! I'm stressed and pressured. We're playing against Tanjong Katong Girls', and I hear that they're super good. (Stress level increases another 10%)

Hais, I'm sad to also say that Black Lilac Scans is like on a standstill now, because all of us are not free. I've got the english stuff all done, so all we're waiting for is for the webpage to be up and for the credits and disclaimer page to be done. We might be creating a blogger account and a livejournal account for black lilac scans because of certain things.

Don't think I'll go back to Hua Yi tomorrow, prolly go back again on the last week...

so cute right? My cousins! They're twins. Taken by my sis at chalet the other day.

2009-06-07T08:39:00.000-07:00

Dance Subaru. Really hoping to watch this show because 1. I think it's gonna be a really inspirational show and cos 2. Dance is an element in this show. Gotta go to school tomorrow for e.math so shall turn in for the night...

2009-06-06T08:26:00.000-07:00

great news. we've finally got our group name! and it's gonna be...

BLACK LILAC

yup, so we're all done with typesetting. Deepa's done with her proof-reading/quality checking... and all that's left is for me to make sure nothing's left out and that the chinese raws and our translation match (cos the chinese raws' got some weird chinese that don't exactly flow...). Si Hui's more or less started on our credits page so I guess we should be releasing this quite soon. Well, as soon as we've got our webpage too...

So much for all the good news...the bad news is....

USUI'S LEAVING MISAKI!! Chapter 38 of Kaichou is out. It's so sad, and he's leaving right after they've announced that Misaki won the student council presidential elections!!! PLUS PLUS PLUS, he was leaving with the Miyabigaoka Student council president!!!
Argh~ I want Chapter 39, I so want to why he's doing that... BUT EITHER WAYS,

KAICHOU WA MEIDO SAMA ROCKS!:)

2009-06-05T05:23:00.000-07:00

I handed Cindy the cleaned raws for pages 14-30 yesterday and amazingly she's managed to typeset it all by THIS AFTERNOON! yup yup, today we've also finally managed to come up with a few names we think are suitable for our scanlation group. Got 7 here, and we're taking it to a vote. Probably by tomorrow or sunday we should finally be able to settle our group name, and have Si Hui start on the disclaimer, credits page and our site!

I just realised that Teppen! chapter four and five are both very long chapters. Chapter four has 40 pages, and chapter five has 45! yup, so not much to talk about for today.

I've got tea appreciating course tomorrow, organised by our chinese teacher. After that, I've got ballet audition, i think i'm so not going to make it. I mean it's been how many months since I last dance, and the one I'm going to is like Adult Ballet Intermediate! *sighs*

2009-06-03T06:45:00.000-07:00

had a haircut today, so now my fringe is really short...

right....so much for being random. Anyways, we're progressing well with Teppen! chapter four. Hahas, I'm proud to say that we have a new member in the team, and she is CINDY! She's my junior and she's a really good editor, Jie'r too, is a great editor. Right, Cindy will be replacing Jie'r for editing supposedly from page 13 onwards, however, due to font inconsistency, we have decided that we might have to redo pages 1 -12 to match up with the font for pg 13. I'm so sorry Jie'r. Right, so with that, it means longer waiting time for the release. BUT BUT BUT...

I'm giving a sneak preview of what is to come for Teppen! chapter four. Right, maybe some of you have read the raws and all...but all in all...in chapter four of Teppen! Kobato will dress up as a girl and go out with Takeru, for certain reasons and stuff which i'm not telling.... as such, i'll be showing page 10 of the chapter where you see Kobato as a girl!

*note* This is done by Jie'R.
This is the uncompleted one because we have yet to change the fonts yet. Cindy, if i haven't scared her at the amount of work she has to do yet and wishes to continue doing, will change the font.

yup, so that's it for today!

2009-06-02T05:32:00.000-07:00

had training today.

anyways, we're done with the translation for Teppen! chapter four. Still having the text put in. So all we're left with is the final proof reading because the chinese raws are a bit weird, cleaning and of course the webpage. we're probably gonna have livejournal host our projects provided we receive positive comments and great response. yup, so let's all wait patiently for jie'r to finish up the editing and all.

RANDOM PICS~

check it out.

2009-06-01T06:13:00.000-07:00

had history in the morning. was 15 minutes late cos i was supposed to wake up at 7 but instead i woke up 8. after that, we went to bugis to try to locate Catz Apparel at Bugis Village. However, apparently it's either closed down if not it's cos we're so blind that we couldn't find it after circling around Bugis Village twice. Then we walked down towards Bali Lane. Again went around circles until Wen Qi's mum gave us the direction and all. Found out that Alice 88th was CLOSED!

Hahas, we then tried moving towards Prinsep Street. Ended up quite lost. Again, we relied on Wen Qi's mum and auntie. Took like 1 hour to find the damn Manga Kissa, only to find out that it closed down! Then went to Sunshine Plaza to look for Wen Qi's stuff, and guess what?! The shop moved out! hahas, what a lucky day it is. Aki then left for douby gaut mrt, while Wen Qi and I were all UBER PISSED at our damn "good" luck that we cabbed home.

Hahas, started on my homework and stuff, but there's loads more. Hahas, no pics today cos we were super tired and yah, didn't really bother taking out the camera.

2009-05-31T06:52:00.000-07:00

Did my nails. feeling kinda of sad and guilty cos i spent soo much on my nails. And soo much as in $130?! My dad was super nice and he said, " It's ok. Just don't regret what you've done.". I'm feeling slightly better after he said that. Thanks mum, thanks dad! Got history tomorrow, just hopefully i don't get caught or anything. Was playing with eye liner yesterday at 12 am. I thought it was 11 so i took my time and stuff until it was like 1 and i thought it was 12.

Took this pic on Friday, after clean and green and before chem extra lesson.

From Left: Si Hui, Pearlyn, Jie'r, me and AKI! there were more, but i guess they're in Hang's phone~:D

These few were taken during Mdm Rina's farewell party. We'll miss you Mdm Rina!

Wish you luck in whatever you intend to do in the future. Take care Mdm Rina! We'll DEFINITELY miss you, i mean you're the best CME teacher ever!

2009-05-25T03:48:00.000-07:00

got my IC today! it looks WAY better than my ez-link card. after we collected our ICs, Deepa, Si Hui, Aki and I went to Far East. Went to some bookstores there cos Deepa was trying desperately to try to sell some books to the shops, but either the shops do not buy them if not they did not want to buy them. Went to Haru Goth and Haru shop. IT WAS AWESOME. Most goods are on discount. Saw this gothic loli dress which initially was ~~$260~~, but then it was discount-ed to like $85!? If i had that money in my wallet at that time, I swear I might have been super close to buying it.

Haru's stalls are great. I think the pricing for the goods are quite affordable too, i mean knowing the fact that the goods are direct imports from Japan. After went searching for Blood Romance, only to our disappointment that it had closed down. We had spent so long searching for it and in the end when we finally got the correct location from the information counter, it closed!?

Well, after that we took a bus to Cathay. Went to Black Alice. Another great stall I tell you. The salesgirl/saleslady there was super kind and she was dressed in loli clothes. So cute! Checked the prices and whoa, it is expensive. But the material and all looks good and apparently they are all branded. The saleslady then let us try some of the clothes on display. Hahas, i tell you it was super embarrassing. No one wanted to try at first, cos i mean you know we were all shy and stuff. In the end, Aki tried it on first. Hahas, she's so cute.

Si Hui went in with a black colour dress but then in the end she didn't put it on, cos' she couldn't deal with the zipper. Then in the end, it was my turn. I tried this maroon-ish, redish colour dress and hahas, I look totally weird. The saleslady was kind enough to allow us to camwhore with the dress. Left happily and went home.

Pictures of us at Black Alice.
*Ignore my face. Me in the maroon-ish, redish costume. Expensive you know. At least $200-$300 and above.~

From Left: Si Hui (using the magazine to cover her face), Me and Aki.

Aki in her sweet pinkish loli costume.

Once again, I'd like to thank Black Alice and of course the saleslady. Arigato!
ありがとうございました!

BACK FROM OBS

2009-05-16T02:24:00.000-07:00

Back from OBS. Relieved. Sad. Happy. Met great friends there, had a great time; but i miss everything about home and about civilisation.

Day One
We got to know our fellow teammates.
Rachael. Gabbie. Tessa. Yu Chen. Shu Hua. Jing Wen. Jia Xin. Han Ru. Adele. Irfanah. Sruthi. Gauri. Andromeda. Sarvena. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OUR INSTRUCTOR, Charles.
We were officially known as Team Sui Sen. We started off learning where our "dorm" was, and how to pitch a tent and stuff. Afterwards, went kayaking. Was really fun. We were did a forced capsize and the TX resuce which was learning how to save a capsized kayaked. Everything was smooth. We even saw a jellyfish. Sarvena thought it was a HAMBURGER?! Hahas, hallucinating on the first day of OBS already... Slept in a not so deep forest or something. (just some place that was like an open field except with lots of trees and insects but not so deep). One word to describe the sleeping tent experience: HOT!!!!

Day Two
Did high elements. Went to some quite deserted area with loads of insects especially mosquitoes. Learnt how to belay. Everything was quite manageable, but everyone's greatest fear was of the one where we had to cross the log some height from the ground. And the log was quite narrow. I did fine, just walked straight through and yup, it was not as bad. Near towards 3+,4+ we tracked to camp 2 with our BACKPACKS.

My bagpack. (this includes Sarvena's stuff and mine)
- 6 sets of clothes.
- Our happy bag. Things that held our snacks and lunch.
- Our daily necessities. e.g. toothbrush, shampoo, torchlight etc. [and Sarvena called me and auntie for bringing so many stuff. but who was the person that needed most of this auntie's stuff?]
- 4 pairs of shoes. (2 for wet activites, and 2 slippers)
- Towels and other stuff
- Poncho. (the ones that they provided. they're not disposable so they're super heavy)
- Life vest

The tracking was about 1.5 km long.

Day Three
Sea expedition. I was the Sea Ex. leader doing the starboard/starpod (it sounded something like that) [but it basically means being the boundary that is near to shore, preventing any other kayaks from being too close to shore to prevent capsizing and injuring]. Tailbone hurt halfway through. Horrible. Everyone became tanned and we were kayaking AGAINST the waves. Journey: about 13.5 km. No showering that day.Weather: terrible cos it was so humid and hot that night, meaning to say you're sweating and sleeping.

Day Four
Land Expedition. Tracked to Chek Jawa, and the tracking did not count Chek Jawa! Toured around Chek Jawa and headed off for Camp 2 then Camp 1. We were the only group that had to make a detour because we left one of our tents there so we had to retrieve it. Journey: about 8-9 km

Day Five
Home sweet home. Had some other games and stuff in stored for us. Cleaned our store and our "dorms".

Team Sui Sen.

2009-05-09T00:09:00.000-07:00

exams are so over. OBS on monday till like friday. not sure if i should be happy or not for the activites that are planned ahead. I'm paired up with sarvena! hahas, sure gonna be an interesting experience:D Si Hui, Wen Qi and Jie'r have all agreed to starting a scanlation group. *probably*. but if we actually did start one, our first project would probably be teppen! i guess. but it's not confirm. so yup, gotta start packing and buying stuff for obs...

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's awesome!

2009-05-03T21:27:00.000-07:00

Today we had A. Maths paper, and i should say that it was QUITE screwed. Just hope that I don't fail or like get a border-line pass(which is quite likely). Tomorrow is HISTORY and there's loads to memorise even though only 2 chapters are tested. Right, so anyway, was relaxing and stuff, and I saw Kaichou 37. Apparently, Misaki and Usui had a kissed. Read the summary at http://natsurin.livejournal.com/7692.html. In total bliss now:D right, but these picture are even better.

*kyaaaah~ Their love is so cute~*

2009-04-25T04:22:00.000-07:00

got my ballet results back... AND...
I FRIGGIN' PASSED! i got highly commended (about 80-84), was shocked cos' i didn't think i would get that, i mean i don't deserve it....

had physics today, and found out that my physics is horrific. i really need to buck up and NOT fail physics. can't wait for after the mid-years...got great plans set ahead, hopefully they'll still proceed without any problems (meaning i've got to pass my exams, and pass well too)...

2009-04-20T05:15:00.001-07:00

right, decided to do some blogging after so long again. Living a routined life, but this will all end righ after mid-years. Going for OBS after mid-years *hopefully they won't reject my application*! Then, it's june holidays, and after that it's cosplay fest! Right, about 1 week more to paper 1. And 2 weeks more, to the main papers. Praying hard that I'll do well, cos i really wanna do well!

Well, GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE.

The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places

2009-04-11T20:27:00.000-07:00

happen to have some free time so i shall blog about my life...

officially quit ballet like yesterday. mum saw something really unsightly, and decided that i should quit. well, so now i'm searching for a new ballet school. doesn't have to be doing the grade i'm doing, i might consider changing to RAD or ISTD, so yah, any recommendations please feel free to let me know....

pretty eh?

*NOTE* pictures are not mine and so are the products.

Products from punkrave.

i'm spoilt for choices! well, i'm getting a punk kimono (hopefully, and should be)...but the thing is i don't know which one i should get. The second one or the last one. The first one is just cos' i think it's nice:D

Anyways, going to Liang Court later. Checking out the price for their punk/gothic lolita costumes and also to head to KINOKUNIYA for Kaichou (hopefully they have new stocks for the latest books).

2009-03-29T06:15:00.001-07:00

Exams in a months' time... just realised that I've got like 2 papers in one day for most of the days... ARGH! I wanna be stress but i just ain't...feeling so slacky. Thinking too much about cosplay already:) *smiles*. Just realised that I might not be able to make it for ToyCon Fest, cos if i continue ballet at Crestar, then i'm gonna go overseas during that period of time for competition, doing PARADISE. Samantha quit ballet already, and Kimberley's so totally changing to attitude, more or less persuading me to quit together with her, then Elyssa will follow suit and Phyllis and Angeline...probably leaving Amelia and Serena there...

I'm not sure if i should, but i've got to make up my mind, cos' the bill for Intermediate's already here. It's about $600 for a term, so i've really gotta consider properly. Hmm...

I AM OFFICIALLY 15 YEARS AND 2 DAYS OLD!

2009-03-21T19:26:00.000-07:00

I am officially 15 years and 2 days old! not that there's a vast difference in me or anything...right, ballet exam in exactly 2 days time, super scared. Really wishing and hoping that I ain't gonna screw up. Still can't get those pirouettes right, so i'm calculating that if i have fail that section, i've really gotta buck up on the rest like solo and barre...

well, most of my homework are complete except for the 2 compos which i have no inspiration and desire to do. The topic is A Learning Experience?! right, anyways....i'm gonna go COSPLAYING! my first cosplay experience will happen with dawn?! then i'm hoping that there will be another one in december or something so that i can bring my cousin, cos' she's got PSLE in october which somehow is really close to the one i'm going in August...

2009-03-13T00:17:00.000-07:00

The sky seems to be expressing my depression...

Common test results were disappointing. Today's exam rehearsal was really bad. I just didn't seem to be in good shape, am so disappointed and depressed right now. Gotta really buck up if not I'm totally gonna fail. I've got about a week to keep practising and thank goodness it's the march holiday which means i can work doubly hard, and hopefully, i can do it on the actual day of exam. My pirouette en dador and en dehor are terrible, still can't spin double. *sighs*

2009-03-03T06:02:00.000-08:00

literature is the worst. I HATE UNSEEN. I feel so unprepared entering the examination hall. Was totally stunned when i read the poem. Clueless, lost and definitely stuck. I only wrote 3 paragraphs for both question and one paragraph is super short, I can gurantee. My points were totally irrelevant I can bet, since I'm the only one who wrote "that" point. SS was quite expected. SBQ was horrid too, I mean anything that does not really require me to prepare anything except english and chinese, are terrible. SEQ was quite ok except that I think I could have done a whole lot better. Chemistry was... I totally gave away my marks! I read questions wrongly, and am super careless. I'm already quite certain that i've lost more than 6 marks so i'm seriously hopeless, how i just wish that this was just a mock exam and there would be another actual one.

Tomorrow's gonna be A Maths, biology and history. I'm gonna have 3 hours break in between A mAths and history since i don't take bio. Hopefully, I actually get stuff into my head. Still can't quite memorise anything for history. Totally am unprepared for tomorrow since I didn't do much revision at all. *Sigh*

"Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them."
~ Hugh Miller

ARGH!

2009-03-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

First common test and i'm already SUPER screwed. English was horrid and Chinese was disastrous. Omg. Super disappointed. Studied SS like a freak and hopefully it pays off. Chemistry is like quite crappy cos i don't seem to be absorbing anything more. Great thingy that literature is unseen, if not i'm just totally doomed. Kaichou's still not out yet, but i read the chapter's description online, and i think it's just gonna be plain SwEeTnEsS! just toally found out that Deepa is in love with it too! hahas, more people to discuss Kaichou with already:) hopefully it's so popular, they'll make it into an anime that has art that is as nice as Fujiwara Hiro!

I'm loving Kaichou. Code Geass is like totally nice too! I'm so addicted:]

Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never . . . never forget it.
- Curtis Judalet

2009-03-01T03:13:00.001-08:00

Well, tomorrow is the start of common test. I totally mugged the whole day for SS, but it's all useless since nothing really went into my big fat head. Hopefully, i'll get it all tomorrow, cos I'm supposed to be studying for chemistry tomorrow. Hais, i'm so totally screwed. I can gurantee.

*Sigh*

Pictures taken at vivo while eating and the last one was on the bus which almost cost me my life. (okay, that was super exaggerated)

OH...

hApPy bIrThdAy mOm:)
you're the best mom in the whole universe:]

2009-02-24T06:54:00.000-08:00

omg, i failed my physics test. The first test in the semester that i actually failed...omg...this shows that i really gotta start mugging or my common test is gonna be horrible. Hais, by the way, Kaichou's out. Still waiting for chapter 35 to be out. Hopefully not during common test period. I'm also super screwed for crezmun. Don't know a single thing about resolutions and stuff. Somemore, my partner is Rouzhen who is apparently quite quiet and all, so we're so totally screwed for crezmun. Argh. Gotta mug!

2009-02-23T05:33:00.000-08:00

Homework:

- Unseen Poem Assignment
- 报章报道读后感
- 2006 Common Test
- Crezmun research thingy
- physics theory workbook

Argh! One more week to common test. I'm so screwed! There's training tomorrow, and I so totally am dreading it now. Oh well, no choice. For the sake of my points, I shall persevere. Shan't blog anymore since I'm running out of time...

so screwed...

2009-02-19T05:56:00.000-08:00

i'm totally screwed! Think I'm slacking and gonna fail my common test. Today's SS test was horrid. I didn't know what the hell I was writing, and I didn't even finish the friggin' paper, like given 25 minutes to read and write 5 paragraphs! Omigosh. There's physics tomorrow, and guess what? I left my theory workbook in school when I thought I left it at home! Urgh. My life is not moving right... Can't seem to absorb a single thing I'm reading... Think I'm gonna burst, not because I'm mugging, but because I'm darn frustrated about not being able to study and feeling tired even though it's only 10...

2009-02-18T06:51:00.000-08:00

I'm in CREZMUN! hahas, received my country and topic. Am doing on current economic crisis and i got the country Philippines. Doing it with Rou Zhen. Hopefully we do well, then we can go for some UN thingo, like thimun or something. Just did some basic research just now. Totally bushed. I've got no time for ballet even though i had planned to practice since exam's like 3 weeks away, and i'm still like ****. argh. think i'm going to fail.(don't wanna...)

my mum said that the Singapore Arts Festival is being pushed forward, so many concerts are going on sale at a discounted rate. And...I really wanna go. She said ok, if it's not THAT expensive since there would be student price and all...just checked SISTIC, i think out of all, i'm still interested in Cinderella by SDT...

BREAOUT WAS AWESOME!

2009-02-15T06:41:00.000-08:00

Cast: Gray (Dae-Hyeok Lim), Lump (Won-Jun-Song), Dandy (Jong-Wook Jeong), Tricky (Chul-Hee Han), Joker (Yong-Nam Song), and Gundog (Jae-Hong Park). Beauty 1 (Ji-Hee Jang), Beauty 2 (Jin-Hee Kim), and Beauty 3 (Yoon-Hui Choi).

BREAKOUT was absolutely awesome. It was superb. The whole concept of the dance/show was really amazing. The stunts, dance moves and unexpected storyline was just intruging and captivating. It was really worth the money and all. Hopefully, a DVD or something would be out in the market, because I know that I will buy it.

Now, I'm planning on watching Cinderella by SDT. It's a ballet that tells the fairytale story of Cinderella in a slightly different manner. I'm guessing it should be quite nice, so i'm intending to watch...however, i'm still looking for friends that are interested to come watch with me. It's on the 6th,7th and 8th of March, and i'm thinking of going on the 6th March (Friday) since on the 7th we've got CIP for those that signed up for the 7th. Yup, I'm thinking of either getting the Category 1 seats/ if not the Cat 2 seats, since it'd be more worth it cos we've got student specials/ like some membership that's got discount and all.

Anyways, got chemistry test tomorrow and i'm totally not in the mood for studying. I'm totally restless and don't feel like doing anything cos yesterday was really wild at my bro's birthday party, because his friends were like uncontrollable children. Yup, so I have a feeling that I'm not gonna do well cos I just can't seem to absorb anything...*sighs* I guess that's about it.

2009-02-11T06:58:00.000-08:00

OFFICIAL COUNTDOWN: 2 more days till BREAKOUT!

Check this out from youtube. Shuffle is so cool:D

2009-01-30T03:24:00.000-08:00

this blog is on the brink of dying. Hahas, oh well...believe it or not?! I'm in health and fitness club? hahas, i was totally shocked upon hearing it because i wasn't even close to being overweight. Then the teacher was like "er..you're temporary in health and fitness club" but i guess she said that because we're going to have an official weighing your weight thingy and then only then will we be determined if we're in the club or not...

but it totally freaked me out. Jonas and the rest were like "are you serious?". then we went to check with our relief p.e teacher and she said that i wasn't overweight and she'll check with the techer in charge. Hahas. Anyways, i'm down with the flu so i didn't go to school cos i've got an mc. Also, i get to skip mass run since i've got 2 weeks excuse of p.e and sport:D Hahax. I'm reading skip beat now since there's nothing much to read about, and the storyline's quite erm...ok? GREAT NEWS THOUGH! KAICHOU IS OUT! hahas, really looking forward to breakout which is in 2 weeks time:D

*images hosted by mangfox, scanlated and translated by potato-otaku:)

S2b's not that bad after all...

2009-01-16T07:04:00.000-08:00

I'm starting to look on the positive side of life. S2b's not that bad after all...actually it's rather FUN:) With all the laughing and happy-go-lucky feeling and everyone being so friendly and open-minded...it's really easy to get along with each other:)

2009-01-12T06:50:00.000-08:00

Finished all necessary homework for tomorrow except physics which is due on Wednesday. Having first lesson of SPA tomorrow. Was super super super careless for maths test today. Oh well, I'm not skipping badminton tomorrow, how nice.

H+O+M+E+W+O+R+K overload.

2009-01-08T06:44:00.000-08:00

H+O+M+E+W+O+R+K
what do you get? Homework. First week of school and it's starting to be like hell. There's just so much to do and so little time! I'm just SO glad that the weekends are coming and I can rest. (not really since I have tuition and ballet.)

Ballet today was sucky. I didn't stretch properly, and my skills were all rusty. Halfway through centre, I got a severe leg cram at the calves[if that's how you spell it] on both legs. Couldn't do anything right after that. Good thing today's my day off. Most homework have to be submitted by Monday, so I can just lax' for one day.

KAICHOU'S OUT BY THE WAY:)[Last few pages of the chapter]

2009-01-05T06:24:00.000-08:00

Me and my sister at Ikea. Took this picture for fun:)

Tickets for breakout is like selling out fast! Dang it! And I haven't bought my tickets yet. So far, Category 1 tickets only got single seats left so we're still thinking of whether to get that or just get Cat 3, since there are still tickets available.

Been springcleaning the friggin' room all of Sunday and today by MYSELF! My sister didn't even bother helping, just sitting in front of the d*** computer and smsing all day... Anyways, Earl and Fairy 12 is out, which means that I've gotta start looking for new animes to watch since this is the last episode[sad:(]

Hakushaku to Yosei(Earl and Fairy): Last episode...*enjoy!*

I'm officially in 3S2B together with Fatehah ONLY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2008-12-31T08:28:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to all. 2009 is a starting point again for many of us, but let's all have faith and make the best of it.

I'm thinking of changing my blog url since it's really old, still thinking of names though. AND I'm allowed to go watch BREAKOUT! got one of my older cousins to go and she said yes!, so my dad's gotta keep his promise and let us watch:) *brimming with joy*

i wanna watch breakout!

2008-12-30T01:03:00.000-08:00

BREAKOUT!
Extreme Dance Comedy

I so wanna watch it! My dad says its ok only if there is an adult that will accompany us which is not going to be him or my mum. My sis and bro want to go too and since we wanna get a good view, tickets ARE gonna be pricey. Wonder if there is a dress-code since its at the explanade. And my sis says that if there is, she'll be wearing a DRESS if she can't wear pants. Can't wait to see her in a DRESS since she used to hate skirts and dress...well that is if we're even going to go.

I cut my hair!

2008-12-29T07:11:00.000-08:00

went to the hairdressers today and guess who i met? *drumrolls* SUI CHYUEN! We didn't really talk much or anything, basically just doing our own stuff and seeing the hairstylist cut her hair and all since she left earlier though i went earlier.

Now my hair is like a lil' different than my normal but I kinda like it. It's short now and well, it smells real good. *though that sounds kinda sick* Had hair treatment too. Well, I'm proud to say that I've finally managed to complete at least one chinese homework which is zuo wen on 善良的丑八怪, and i think my story's really good since I did plan and all. Well, going to change blogskin soon, just waiting for blogskins.com to not have problem now. Also, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka the anime, is really disappointing because incest sucks! though Minato and Junichi are not blood-related, i guess. I guess it still kinda sucks cos I wanted Junichi to end up with Yuuhi!!!

MERRY X'MAS!

2008-12-24T21:00:00.000-08:00

MERRY X'MAS everyone! Erm, this year has really been quite a change for me but I really enjoyed it. Hopefully, everyone enjoys this year as much as I do:D Well, I doubt I will be posting anything anytime soon since I'm still trying to complete my homework.
Anyways, MERRY X'MAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! May next year be better than this:)

back!

2008-12-19T06:46:00.000-08:00

Right, back from Taiwan. Came back at around 11+ pm, and reached home at about 12-1. Slept at 2 am so kinda having a slight headache now.

Shall elaborate more tomorrow. Probably. Hope to watch Twilight and go to Manga Kissa before the school reopens. Determined to *chiong finish all homework by this weekend.

2008-12-14T00:55:00.000-08:00

Currently accessing the net at the hotel i'm staying at in Taiwan. Grand Forward Hotel. It's currently 16 degrees here, probably the coldest day i've experienced during my stay in Taiwan. Today marks the end of my tour in Taiwan with the tour guide which means that the next 4 days, it'll be self-tour. Here in Taiwan, i've lost all sense of time cause the day gets dark at like 5.30? 6?

Anyways, gonna keep this post real short. ZAI JIAN!

Taiwan, here I come!

2008-12-06T01:37:00.000-08:00

yay! just 1 more day till Taiwan trip:D well, i'm more or less prepared. Got my luggage packed and all so just waiting to head off! Hahas, hopefully i guess i can finish all of maths homework before I leave. As for chinese... I haven't even started. There's still book reviews and compos left for English but book review, I can finish it in a jiffy...just need ta' plan on what to write and how I wanna write it. As for compo, I guess I'll think about the storyline on the aeroplane.

JUST ONE MORE DAY TILL TAIWAN TRIP!

2008-12-04T22:34:00.001-08:00

Decided to upload all these pictures before I head off to Taiwan:D YAY! 2 more days till Taiwan trip!

Gosh! Still got so many homework haven't do... Already a month. Plan to finish at least 3/4 of the homework before I head for Taiwan. Which would mean that this week i've got to "chiong" already. Don't worry! I can do it!

COUNTDOWN: 4 MORE DAYS TILL TAIWAN TRIP!

2008-11-30T06:53:00.001-08:00

Went to Liang Court, for the first time in my life.It's really good there if you're really into Japanese goods and stuff. yup, went there to Audio House to get a brand new TV. The TV in my parent's room is going crazy, so Dad bought a 42' Plasma TV.

Of course, I'm not deprived of the priviledge to buy stuff. In fact, I bought lots of stuff at my favourite store...KINOKUNIYA! It's paradise. Bought 3 issues of Lala Magazine and 2 Kaichou wa maid-sama mangas!. Totally on cloud nine. Saw a shop at the same level that sells clothes that are of Lolishota fashion/ Goth. Hopefully, I get to shop there someday...

Kaichou wa maid-sama!!!

The free gifts in Lala. Vampire knight handkerchief and 2009 calendar. Got Kaname and Usui:).

totally haven't been blogging since like forever... Finally, dance concert is over. All those extra rehearsals that we endured, perfecting every step possible has finally been paid off. The concert was a success and that means with the concert over, we have to focus on our upcoming CSTD and RAD examinations depending on which we're taking.

Taken from dance blog:
In an instant, the curtains are drawn and we're shedding the makeup and moving on with our mundane life. Tonight was awesome, albeit tiring. It was indeed a thrilling experience - the rushing; the inhaling of cold air backstage; the frantic changings; the running from one end of the stage to the other;

the time spent.

It went well.

And within 3 days, I feel as though my entire ballet life has ended - done with exam; done with performance. Bittersweet.

Perhaps the next performance would see people from my class as part of the audience and the grade6s doing Paradise. And people from Amelia's class doing Seven Nights. And Search is History.

Unfathomable. But Possible

I feel so old although I'm only 15 to Claribell. Nevertheless, thank you. Thank you for the flowers, thank you for the effort, thank you for the help, thank you for the cooperation, thank you for the understanding, thank you. Thank YOU, thank you, THANK YOU and Thank You. You guys are the best people I've ever danced with.

The Search. Plan to upload the rest of the pictures all at one go another time.

Spent at least half of my day taking care of my twin baby cousins[kAitEnG & kAidA]. Was rushing for ballet cause i didn't think it would take half an hour to get my bun tied nicely and i somehow miscalculate the necessary time and stuff. So was kinda late but was slacking until like 6.30?, 7? Reached home at about 10 and had baked rice from Bukit Batok for dinner.

Had friendly match with Kent Ridge today and I was practically slacking. I guess I shouldn't even have bothered to go for the friendly match. Jolin asked me to play doubles with Beverly but I didn't cause my left arm was aching real bad, so I asked Lay Peng to substitute me. So for the entire "training", I was sitting down, yawning away till like 11. Went home and took care of Kai Teng and Kai Da. And seriously, its not as easy as you think it is.

Problems encountered:

1. When you carry them, and put them on the floor to crawl or put them on the walker, they start to cry, so sometimes you really gotta keep carrying them, but of course don't keep doing that if not they would never wanna get down.

2. Upon carrying them, you CANNOT just stay stationary at one spot unless you're looking at like swimming pool and stuff, cos they would fidget like loads so you gotta keep walking around and all.

...

Of course there are loads more, it's a never-ending list but I guess it's inevitable since they're still so young. However, frankly speaking, it's quite fun:D

Opening Dance

Paradise

Chinese Dance

Seven Nights [Jay Chou]

These are the pictures for the dance catalogue(if that is what you call it). There are still a few more dance items like Hip Hop, The Search and Serena's solo.

did lots of regular stuff for badminton today(as usual). Slacked loads and before i knew it... training was over. Don't really care whether I improve or not cause I know that I won't make it into the top 12. Well, I mean even if I did, what's the point when I don't fit in? But of course, I won't give up because I wanna show those people who think they're dead good that I can play better and I will. 10 more days till the actual ranking day...

had dance today too. got our new costume which are apparently borrowed from Kranji. It's way nicer than the 2 red ones that we have. It looks so much better in terms of colour, fabric choice, and design. Well, thanks Kranji Dance Society then.

I'm so bored! Finished Kuroshitsuji already and waiting for new releases. Seems like most scanlating teams are rather busy recently, so it seems that most animes are gonna be delayed. If anybody's got nice anime to recommend me, please do:D

yesterday, after waiting for so long, my sis finally bought a new phone. C905!. Like wow, it just came out and she got it. I'm feeling kinda jealous but I feel so hollow. It's like I couldn't really care anymore. She plans on getting an IMAC or Sony Vaio...normally i would react quite strongly cos i would think its not very fair or something. But eversince i came to crescent, i feel really hollow, like most emotions have been hidden somewhere inside me and i can't seem to find it.

Anyways, 19 days till I leave for Taiwan! I'm really anticipating for it. And 9 more days till full dress rehearsal at Victoria and 10 more days till the actual concert. The whole concert's kinda worrying because it feels like we're not prepared enough with all the handmade accessories which doesn't really go or blend in with the dance... But i guess eventually it will work out, even if it's not as great as I think it'll be.Right, Paradise is in a lil' mess now with Elle not in the dance and minor parts with unclear movements and all. The Search is more or less quite ok since we've done it about a million times for the previous concert and the competition, so you can more or less tell how many times we've done this dance and all. *sighs*

2008-11-14T07:44:00.000-08:00

had full dress rehearsal yesterday. It was really hectic and chaotic because there were lots of parents outside of the studio and the studio was just way too small and so alot of us had to stand outside except for those that are involved in the various items. Had a run through for all the dance at least once. Having another rehearsal tomorrow for The Search at 12. Bought new pointe shoes and skin leotard on Sunday and went to change the day before. The material for the skin leotard is really thin so erm...

Yesterday, came home at 10. Bathed and felt refreshed but was having gastric. Good thing it was mild and so it was gone really quickly. So I watched TV from 10 all the way to 1. Watching the some forensic show on Channel U then Project Runway and America's Next Top Model. Kept laughing during Project Runway cause they were having reunion and it was damn funny. Yup, supposedly went to sleep at 1, however, I kept turning here and there and couldn't sleep. Felt too energetic for some reason and stuff. Finally went to sleep at around 2 plus. Sigh, it's like 11.55pm now, so i guess i'd better turn in. But I really don't feel like sleeping... -_- *sighs*

Evidence. Changed the music to I'm With You by Avril Lavigne. Quite an old song, but it's nice:D
Nights:)

2008-11-12T05:48:00.001-08:00

spent the whole of yesterday reading The Host. I cried while reading but in the end, it was more or less a happy ending. Managed to finish it today.:d, so that means gotta start on my book review like soon. Went to west mall today, bought stuff at comics connection. I bought poker cards, but not the usual kind. I bought Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and D Gray Man poker cards.:D. Gotta go cause i gotta catch the 10 o'clock show on Channel U:D....Toodles:)

The poker cards i was talking about. Not cheap. One deck for $4.80!

Oh, and if you have the time, read The Host!

2008-11-10T05:37:00.000-08:00

1 more day to go before i officially know which class i'm going next year. Hopefully, i get into my first choice combination... Well, nothin' much to talk about since i was reading THE HOST for practically the whole day... Accomplishments: Let's see... Well, I did a question from Shinglee Book, does that count? Still got loads more homework to do so i really gotta get started if i want to be able to enjoy my trip to taiwan... I think i'm gonna do my book review on either Breaking Dawn if not The Host since we're only allowed a book from one author, so the other is probably gonna be Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows if not I think its gonna be some book by Low Kay Hwa...Yup, i guess i shall end my post then:D

body ache

2008-11-06T06:17:00.000-08:00

urgh!...woke up in the morning with body ache. Couldn't walk properly because the muscles at my thighs are like aching... Had ballet today, which makes things worst. But I had to persevere. Just concentrated on the dance and less on the pain, so it didn't really ache that much. Managed to hitch a ride home from ballet, thanks to Samantha's dad. Hahas, came back home, didn't feel hungry so i skipped dinner. Accomplishments for the day: Term IV Revision Test has officially been completed... working on the End-Of -Year Specimen Paper, and probably the book reviews. Also, i realised that i could actually cook scramble egg except that i didn't use enough milk so it turned out a lil' like ordinary fried egg. -_-

2008-11-05T06:36:00.000-08:00

pile of homework waiting for me to touch them...hais, managed to do half of paper 1 of the final year specimen paper... read like 50+ pages of the host already:d...

bought this book yesterday at popular...its written by Stephenie Meyer, the author of the famous Twilight series.

had training today at henderson...wasn't so bad. Woke up late so took a cab there again. Did lots of random stuff like lobbing and drop shot but ended up playing match and stuff... Still did physical before we left. Hahas, make me perspire soo much. Then took *oops, i can't remember the bus number, hahas!* with hui yi then change to 970. hahas, on the bus we were playing PSP. Played DJ Max at first but then hui yi couldn't actually play it well so change to some japanese game which was boring. Hahas, so when we took 970, we played ben 10! Made quite a lot of noise on the bus though, kept on laughing...hahas!...

Hais, there's training tomorrow at Delta...(no idea where it is though...)

2008-10-30T07:28:00.001-07:00

the day before class chalet: hahas, had badminton at henderson...took a cab there and reached there punctually at 3 even though i left house at like 2.30! yup, did boring lobs and stuff...yup, then around 11, i finally decided that i'm going to stay over for the chalet, quickly packed stuff and woke my sister up to go and remove the pictures from the camera to the computer so that i can use it the next day...hahas, she was super pissed that time, cos i woke her up from her beauty sleep...

day one: in the morning, woke up with body aches...horrid ok...yup, bathe and grabbed my stuff and left for jurong east interchange... aiyoh, reached bukit batok mrt interchange like around 7.40...the mrt was full of people, i couldn't squeeze inside! i had to like miss 3 mrts before i mangaed to actually squeeze inside... yup, got to je interchange, and met up with jiawei they all...then it was like i was standing behind mogana and then i thought they noticed me, but they kept talking until Kaviya like suddenly say:"is that Kah Min?"..hahas..only then did they notice me..hahas, so sad larh.. then blah blah blah, reached pasir ris, couldn't check in until like 2, so we rented bikes, played volleyball and stuff like that...then finally check in already, we were all like dead bushed and sweaty, so we on the air con until overshot so in the end we had to sleep WITHOUT air-con! hahas, barbeque was fun and good... and i have to admit one thing. JIAXI'S A GREAT COOK! yup, so went to bathe. Halfway through when i was bathing, Mith suddenly off the toilet light and i kinda screamed... It scared the hell out of me larh...hahas, then went to the room and after like a while, Hui Yi say want to sleep already, so i decided that i should sleep too...at first couldn't sleep because of the heat(and apparently, hui yi looked as though it was quite ok, and looked as though it wasn't the least hot at all!)... then changed sleeping posture, and i fell asleep, probably because i was worn out.

day two: woke up at around 6+, because i heard jiawei and hui yi talking in the room. Came down and saw Jiaxi cooking breakfast for us. She managed to cook sausages and crab meat. Microwaved Otah, Stingray, mussels and satay. (Satay was good:D)...yup, then Jiaxi proceeded to fry the chicken wings and apparently, it tasted quite good. Yup,then she left and we packed up...we could only checked out like at 11am, so Ying Shan, Aish, Hui Yi, and I, we were like watching some kiddy shows like sesame street and Harry and his bucket full of dinosaurs...blah blah blah, checked out and went home after that...then went for the flu vaccine at around 3+ cos going to taiwan...until now still pain:( hahas, then had ballet from 6-8...doing rehearsals. Pictures will be taken from Yi Bin yah...in the end, the camera was quite useless since i didn't take much pictures:d..hahas!

Nothing much to talk about today. Read Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle from chapter 60 plus all the way to 129...from 7 plus until now... hahax, read until i cried...argh! really wanna describe the story but...in simple words, the story is just complicated and in order to understand what i'm saying u have to read it for yourself...Just a lil' quote from Tsubasa to end this post:)

changed skin again:d...don't have much to blog about today. First day of the holiday, i have done nothing but eat, sleep, play badminton, practised ballet and use the computer (mainly)... I didn't even have Japanese class today. I'm bound to gain weight and my eyesight is bound to worsen...

so since i have nothing to blog much about, i decided to post a video(anime) called Earl and Fairy. It's a rather new anime that's being subbed by m.3.3.w [ a fansubbing group]. Yup, i'd like to acknowledge the source too which is veoh and of course the uploader RenimLSroku. Yup, this anime was recommended by my cousin and yah, its reverse harem which makes it doubly nice. So, enjoy! (hope it works:D)

2C2'08

2008-10-23T07:39:00.000-07:00

had ta' clean the canteen today...but it was generally an easier job compared to those that had to clean up their classrooms especially to our seniors from 3c3... they had ta' clean up 4c3 which was our temporary classroom which was really piled with trash and garbage. and they were like "The classroom is really very dirty lorh..." hahas, even Ms Ng was like "you people make me got no place to hide my face..." it was damn funny... hahas but all in all thanks alot.

last day of school, so we took loads of pictures of 2C2'08. First and foremost, I would like to thank C2'08 for creating many memorable memories and made me feel like i really belong to c2 since i transferred in only in march and was not very social at first. I have learnt many things from you guys and i'm happy to say that they've helped me in my life in one way or another. Once again, thank you so much!

however, we've still got class chalet on the 29th and 30th to look forward to..so, LET'S JUST ENJOY OUR LAST DAYS TOGETHER AS 2C2'08!

2008-10-22T06:16:00.000-07:00

finally!... the blog is more than 3/4 done. I think i'll change the skin sometime soon cos this is just a temporary skin for now...

Alas, tomorrow is the last day of school also known as clean-the-classroom day... its not a really bad thing coz we are released at 9 which is definitely a blessing cos we've been rotting in the classroom for the past few days cos we've been doing nothing but : talking, playing, resting, sleeping, computing, eating and drinking.

Class chalet's on the 29th and 30th... it'll be a 2 day one night thing. Apparently, sleepover is optional and there would be quite a number of activities planned out like volleyball, cycling, frisbee and BARBEQUE!..Hahax, i've volunteered to get seafood for the barbeque but i doubt i will buy too much cos apparently, seafood's not really popular within the class... at least that's what i believe:D...

Also coming up would be dance concert which is on the 29th November... haven't been to rehearsal and ballet for a whole week...i'll bet Li Tao's gonna say me again... Who know's maybe during the next rehearsal, i'll get picked on again??

Whatever, at least after that there is still Taiwan that will be waiting for me:d... excited to go there cos its gonna be 12 day trip from the 7th-18th... and hopefully i'll get to visit their 24 hour bookstore... Which means there's gonna be lots and lots of stacks of mangas! Hahas...as i said... i'm an otaku so i can't help it:d.. well i guess that's it for now... haven't held a racket in weeks...wonder how i'll do during the next training. Oh well, who cares?

Twilight Trailer

to those who don't know what twilight is. Twilight is an upcoming movie based on Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. I'm a huge fan of Twilight and yup...this is the trailer:D ENJOY:)..REMEMBER TO CATCH IT AT YOUR CINEMAS!
[for some reason, it does not work but i'll get it sort out soon:D]
