OURAN CHAPTER 69 IS GOD PLZKTHNX.

WTF. MY IMMENSE LOVE FOR TAMAKI HAS RETURNED. LIKE WTH. HE'S JUST SO WONDERFULLY ENTHUSIASTIC AND STUPID IN THE NEW CHAPTER. I GIGGLED AND LAUGHED AND ALMOST WET MYSELF.

And wth. He actually knows that Haruhi likes him. But he's afraid of confessing to her. Apparently he can't bring himself to confess, which is just guhhhhhh. I know its all a plot to make the manga as long as possible. Hikaru's incredibly annoying as usual, and apparently he's fighting with Tamaki for Haruhi's feelings despite knowing very well how Haruhi feels.

Yet, I have to admit, he is pretty funny in this chapter, with how he's always trying to slaughter Tamaki and throw his birthday cake at him.

Haruhi's still pretty much the same. She admitted that she was previously jealous of that girl who liked (likes?) Tamaki. One funny comment by her is when she sees Tamaki singing a birthday song to himself  (although its not his birthday) and then is thinking to herself how she wants to cry, because she doesn't know how actually managed to fall for someone like Tamaki.

He's singing to himself 'cause apparently he went through some sort of change, and hence, he now calls himself the "new" Tamaki. According to the other host club members however, he just got dumber than previously.


Ah, and I've officially dropped Kyou Kara Maou season 3. I think the finale (and a couple of the episodes) really suck. Because I really, really, really do not like Saralegui. I don't know why really, but I don't really mind him in the novel, but I mind him loads in the anime. Like wth, the stupid manwhore.

So yes, the Kyou Kara Maou Anime journey has officially ended (but I'm still continuing with the novels). There was a new magazine picture, probably to celebrate its end, I think. Its a picture of everyone (except Saralegui). There're all standing/squating/bending down around Wolfram, Yuuri and Greta who seem to be sitting on a very regal looking loveseat or whatever. Yuuri is half asleep, Greta is asleep on Yuuri's lap and Wolfram is asleep but leaning on Yuuri. Its so cute. Wth, happy family pose. (;________;)

But I find it incredibly, incredibly creepy how everyone else in the picture is just staring at the obviously lethargic royal family. I mean, seriously. There're all just sitting/squating/bending down around them, happy grins plastered on their faces watching them nap. Its beyond creepy. Even creepier is how Wolfram, Yuuri and Greta can actually sleep whilst being stared at. Even a rather happy Shinou is there (didn't he die or something?), sitting/floating someone looking inexplicably happy. Maybe his happy to see his descendant taking a nap or something. For some reason.

Gawd. I really want to watch Kuroshitsuji. I'll try to fit that into the weekend or something >.>

AHAHAHAHA. I'M MAKING A POST. COS I JUST REMEBERED ONE OF MY NEW YR RESOLUTIONS WAS TO POST REGULARLY. AND DAMN STRAIGHT AM I GONNA DO SO.

So today, my mp3 sorta went completely insane. It kept on shutting down by itself for no apparent reason. Dreadful, no? But I've got to be completely honest. When I saw that my mp3 was going mad on me, and realised that this could mean that my mp3 is dying soon, I felt sort of excited.

Oh no, I was worried too. But more excited. Why?

Because if my mp3 spoils, maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have to wait till my birthday to get an ipod.

Yes, I was actually happy that my mp3 was dying, because that would mean I could buy an ipod.

But alas, it works now. So my dream of getting an ipod would only come true at a later date.

Just thinking about it makes me want start tearing up. I mean, WTF ipods are so totally awesome. And slim. And the graphics are really pretty too. The exact opposite of my current mp3.

;______;

Well, on a brighter note, I've finished all my homework except A math.

The social studies worksheet on interpreting political cartoons only took me five minutes to finish. At first, I thought it was like literature, free expression and everything, but now I don't really think so.

There's this one question about what donkeys in political cartoons refer to.

I wrote down 'jackass'.

Right. I personally think this whole "more money spent on elderly care" thing is really great. Its really heartwarming to see the government caring for the elderly people of Singapore. It really is something that ought to be done, as the elderly were once the main workforce in the past, and it is with their contributions that Singapore is currently where it is now.

The opening of the day care centres for the elderly would allow the elderly's families peace of mind, as instead of leaving them at home when they go to work, they can leave them in the care of the day care centres. The elderly would also be taken care of by professionals at these day care centres, so it may even be better than being taken care of by their own families, if the said elderly person is really ill.

Another advantage would be that if for example some sort of situation (the elderly getting injured) arises, they would be able to seek immediate help from the caretakers at the day care centres. If they were alone at home, they may have to wait for their children to get home before they are able to get help. This is a really important point, as when an elderly person is injured, every second counts. (Y'know, 'cause they're old and all, they may faint or something).

Well, the point is, I think that the plan to open more day care centres is a good move, and should be supported by all. It makes me happy to see that the government looks after the elderly. (As I think I've already mentioned earlier.)

I feel oddly optimistic right now. I am full of new-found (if you consider a week ago 'new-found) determination to excel at my 'O' levels.
 

I dunno. I guess its kinda because I finally realised that I want to be celebrating and screaming and yelling and flailing (with joy, mind you) at the 'O' level results releasing thingy in the future. Not locking myself in a smelly toilet like a pathetic little girl crying her eyes out.

So yeah.

I'm quite amazed actually. In the past, I never ever studied, not unless there was a test the next day.

And I usually studied for some of my exam papers only the day before the actual exam.
 

But now, ho~ I study at least a subject every day, making notes, etc. My goal is to memorize everything by heart by the time 'O' level arrives.

Of course, I still have fun. Reading drama cd translations, etc. (Kyou Kara Maou! drama cds are a personal favourite because oh my eff, there's so much fanservice XDD)

So, yes...

I just thought I'd make this post because frankly, I have no exciting life happenings to narrate. So I decided to do a brief reflection.

X3

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO REDO MY SOCIAL STUDIES HOMEWORK UNLESS I MAKE IT 100% SURE THAT I'VE, IN FACT, MISPLACED MY ALREADY DONE ASSIGNMENT. OR, YOU KNOW, TOMORROW, WHEN I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE BUT TO DO IT BECAUSE SOCIAL STUDIES IS ON MONDAY.

So er, yeah.

I watched a documentary on the History Channel today. I have no idea what its called, but judging from the actual content of the show, it could be called, "The Lost Book of Nostradamus" or something along the lines of that.

Apparently he sort of 'predicted' many incidents that have happened not so long ago. Such as the 9/11 incident, assasination attempts, natural disasters and other things that I csn't seem to remember at the moment.

Although y'know, his predictions weren't very specific. It was just a vague sort of description of what would happen. Like how the 9/11 incident was predicted as a 'flaming tower'. I think they mentioned something about him actually mentioning the planes crashing into the 'tower', but I can't remember.

Apparently we're all gonna die in 2012. Or at least something earth-shattering would happen.

The experts interpreted one of his drawings in his book of prophecies. So with reference to the stars, the galaxy, and the enlignment of the aforementioned two, they're come to the conclusion that 2012 will pretty much be a bad year. I forget. Either they just said something earth-shattering would happen or the actual apocalyspe.

I sort of went, "2012? Hell, that sucks. We only have 4 years left."

Until I remembered that its now 2009.

So I went, "Holy crap. We only have 3 years left."

And then I started getting immensely depressed (part of it was due to the guy on that programme going on and on about how we'll run out of food, water and ammunition as we progress nearer to the apocalyspe), y'know, because I actually plan on growing up, getting married, having kids, getting a job, making waffles and choosing my own curtain colours.

And 3 years is definitely not enough to learn Japanese and listen to all the available drama CDs.

So then I watch 'Memoirs of a Geisha'. Which made me more depressed actually. The romance was so gross. Like wth, the guy's too old for her. He bloody knew her since she was a kid. And at that time, he was already a man, already accompanied by other geisha. Like, how gross is that?

Uh-huh. So its a new year. For some reason, I feel really sad. (coughcoughSCHOOLRESTARTSOMFGOLEVELScoughcough)

I've decided to post my new year resolutions in celebration of a whole new year of bloody torture.

Ahahahaha. I went for my first anime convention everrrr.

There were only a few cosplayers. Most of them cosplaying as lolita girls AKA not actual anime characters. I did see a Misa from Deathnote, some people from Reborn! and some from Code Geass. There was also this really cool robot from Gundam Seed. He was seriously a robot, complete with cardboard robo-armour and glowing jetpack.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to buy a single thing. I was previously planning on buying a L plushie, but pfffft..I didn't see any Deathnote plushies at all. Just a bunch of Pokemon and Super Mario plushies.

I think my favourite exhibit was the 'graffiti' board kind of thing, wear people just sat there and drew anime-styled people and stuff on the blank piece of paper stuck on the wall. I just like to stand there and gawk at all those people.

So after about 2 hours (or less) walking round and round and round the exhibition hall, we (Yijun and I) left. Empty-handed. L-plushie-less.z

Then we went to Kinokuniya and spent hours around the manga section. It took me like ages to find the Kyou Kara Maou! manga. Eheh, but when I found it, I was so happy. The cover is soo pretty. I absolutely love the art style and would happily buy it just to stare and drool at the guys drawings. In fact, I may just do so when I get my allowance and sort out my finances.

And I actually managed to find the Kyou Kara Maou! novel. IN CHINESE. The manga started only after the anime or novel or something, so its only up to volume 4. So, if I want to continue with the plot after season 3 of the anime, I would have to read the novel. I bought the volume containing all the extra stories, just to test out my traditional-chinese-reading abilities, before I actually embark on reading the actual story.

I also bought Ouran volume 13, but I already read everything in there centuries ago online, so there's nothing to really squee about.

Oh Em Gee. I feel so braindead. Yet, so joyful.

My Schedule for the last 3 days (or so):
9.00am - WAKE UP
9.00am to 9.30am - WATCH MTV (pretty much 'cause its not good to use the computer immediately after waking up)
9.30am to 11.00am - WATCH KYOU KARA MAOU!
11.00am to 12.00pm - LUNCH
12.00pm to whatever time - WATCH MOAR KYOU KARA MAOU! (actually, most of the time is spent waiting for the bloody episode to load)

Yeah...that's about it. So all I've really accomplished so far is watching 32 episodes of Kyou Kara Maou (16 hours of anime).

But omg I can't stop watching it. The show is just so epic. Its so funny and action-packed at the same time, and suspenseful too.

I mean, like woah, one of the characters (so far) got his arm stolen! (that's not a figure of speech)

Now you've got to admit, that's totally cool.

Eheh~ So, I've finally got my brain out of my bum (metaphorically speaking, obviously) and decided to make an entry! OHOHO! (Actually, I have some time because I'm waiting for anime to load, so might as well get some english work done whilst I'm waiting, no?)

So....I'm not in SYF for dance. Before the second round of auditions today, I told Ms Rajah that I didn't want to join SYF. So...erm....yeah. I Just think that its better this way, it being my 'O' level year and everything next year. I'd rather concentrate on my studies than go for intensive SYF training.

So, after leaving the school, I accompanied Amaryllis (!) to Outram Park, to get the wire sticking out of her braces cut off. Apparently it has caused a depression to appear on her gum, which is like, totally gross. So I waited in the waiting room patiently, thinking of ways I could use the entire situation to my advantage (namely, use my accompanying her to make her feel guilty, so that she'll go Kinokuniya with me to get this month's manga.)

While walking to the hawker centre, we went into Guardian so that I could pick up some bright blue nail polish. I found it, but it cost $4.90 a bottle. Amaryllis told me I could find a cheaper one somewhere else and I should just leave the store and come back later if I fail to find a cheaper bottle along the way.

ME: OMG. QUICK. HIDE THE BOTTLE (referring to the bottle of blue nail polish) UNDER THE OTHER BOTTLES FIRST.
AMARYLLIS: WALAU, HIDE FOR WHAT SIA, HERE GOT SO MANY.
RANDOM GIRL WHO WAS ALSO RUMMAGING THROUGH NAIL POLISH: *GLANCE OVER, GIGGLELAUGH*

When we reached the hawker centre, I had one of my favourite meals ever, which to my disappointment, turned out to be tasteless, probably due to poor culinary skill on the hawker's part. (BTW, I had red wine noodles) Amaryllis had a taste and informed me of the lack of taste, which I denied repeatedly.

AND OMGWTFBBQ. I FORGOT TO PAY THE HAWKER. I WAS SORT OF DAYDREAMING (about manga) AND IN MY DAZED STATE, KEPT THE MONEY WHICH I HAD IN MY HAND BACK INTO MY WALLET. SO WHEN I GOT MY NOODLES, I JUST STARTED TO CARRY THE TRAY AND WALK AWAY. THE HAWKER KINDA GAVE ME THIS REALLY SUSPICIOUS LOOK.

HAWKER: ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE PAID FOR TEH NOODLES?
ME: WAIT. WHUT? WHUT? WHUT? I HAVEN'T PAID? WHUT?
HAWKER: *SHIFTY EYES*
ME: AHHHHHH. I DIDN'T PAY? AIYAH. SORRY. SORRY. SORRY.

It was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop saying sorry because I was really afraid of the hawker thinking I was trying to cheat my way into getting a free meal.

After that, Amaryllis brought me to this jewellery store that sold necklace parts (pendants, chains, etc). There, we spent like 40 minutes fighting over which chains and pendants to buy (we had to share, because pendants were sold in packs of two).

AND OMG I ALMOST WALKED OUT OF THE STORE W/O PAYING FOR A SET OF BRIGHT BLUE HAIRCLIPS. ITS LIKE I HAVE SOME SORT OF UNCONSCIOUS DESIRE TO STEAL TODAY OR SOMETHING.

Ah, and yeah, I bought the bright blue nail polish from Guardian in the end. (its the same shade of blue as my current livejournal background)

I actually took photos of Amaryllis' nails ('cause I painted them on the train ride home) and her brand new spongebob bag , but due to technical difficulties (laziness), I shall not post them.

Well, off to watch anime now. Cheerio.

HOHO! I have a new layout. I am rather pleased, although the image above is making my eyes burn. ( You might want to lower your computer's brightness)

English assignments coming soon, when I have nothing to do. ( In order words, when I'm done watching Paradise Kiss)

UGH. I've pretty much listened to "Live your Life" by T.I featuring RIhanna 1000 times now ( no joke, yo). I applaud their ability to turn probably one of the most annoying boyband hits of this century into something so catchy and wonderful.

BTW, *points to icon* OTP PLZKTHNX. ( Yes, I am aware that they are both guys.) (Actually, I'm not serious, but heh. )

*OTP = One True Pairing. Its an anime/manga term. In a nutshell, it pretty much refers to the anime couple/pairing that I support the most.))

ALSJKFKFJEOWMF

Bio is killing me, like srsly.

I want death. NOW.

....And Ouran volume 13, Kaichou wa Maid-same volume 6 and Faster than a Kiss volume 1.

La Corda D'oro has to wait 'cause I plan to catch up first w/ the anime when exams are over.

Right...but anyway, I won't be updating anytime soon (unless I feel the urge to ramble about the day's events A.K.A exams. which i hope not, 'cause it would probably be because it sucked.)

And by the way, I was posessed when I was making the blog layout. Posessed, I tell ye~! (...by Hihara's awesome hair <3)

Chu chu lovely muni muni mura <3 (<< greatest song ever, i swear)

Oh yeah, this is really late (since i was incredibly lazy to post), but Ouran chapter 62 has finally come out~

It has even been scanlated already...

Found here at: onemanga.com

Just scroll all the way down. Under the column "Top viewed mangas", you should see the title. (decided to give credits to where i found it >.>;;)

I luff page 7 and 8. For some incomprehensible reason, I just really love the guy-guy friendship love-love thing. Its just so touching!

And I love Tamaki's cardigan on that page.

And ho! Hikaru got rejected. His rejection made me laugh. And its not only because I dislike him alot, but the whole scene was turned into this sort of comedy-thing. But ew. He's such a stalker. Like, he got rejected flat, and Haruhi put more than enough emphasis on how they're good friends, and how that will never change, but he still hasn't given up. (he might be joking when he said that though, 'cause of his expression) I hope he is joking. He'll just get rejected again anyway. I mean, Haruhi has totally fallen head-over-heels for blondie, and he loves her back. (and she bloody took 12 volumes to fall for him. if haruhi was supposed to fall for hikaru, she would've done so already. seriously, if she suddenly changes her mind, i'll just be like, "WTFFF?")

And hoho! Blondie is finally thinking about his feelings. About time, I say! Bring on teh family conflictz!

By the way, I youtubed Death Note. I watched the ending, episode 37. Its so hardcore. Seriously. Light is so much more hardcore in the anime compared to the movie. He has his very own evil laughter of doom. And he's totally insane in the anime. Seriously. Totally. Anime-Light makes movie-Light look like a wuss. Below is the video of Light's awesome laugh. I can't get enough of it. Its almost as epic as the scene where Light ate a potato chip.

This is the link to Light;s evil laughter of doom. It made me laugh. And few things make me laugh so much. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=C65oaIHsdYM) ...I wish I could LOL like Light.

The Light-eating-the-potato-chip scene was pure win. Seriously. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=noHySKemBzA)

But that scene seriously freaks me out. Not the potato chips flying everywhere, but Light's voice. At the start of the video, when Light goes, "It's for later. I'm studying till late." he sounds alot like Tamaki. (compare Light's evil LOL to Tamaki's happy LOL in episode 24. Its just like, woah. Tamaki's LOL just sounds like a chibi version of Light's LOL. apparently alot of people like to make fun of the fact. there's even a video where they insert Light's evil LOL in episode 24 of ouran, where Tamaki laughs.)

The english dubbed version of that scene is funnier, in my opinion. Light goes, "I'll take a potato chip......(pause)......AND EAT IT!!!" Like, wth. That is just the most epic scene in Death note.

Back to episode 37. It was awesome. Especially when Light got caught. He got shot like once, and blood was splurting out. And then he got 3 more times, with more blood flying all over the place, and landed in a puddle of water. And despite this, he STILL managed to escape and hobble away. 
 
But before he hobbled away I think he successfully killed one of the officers or whatever. (i don't know, 'cause i didn't watch the entire series) That scene was just....oh my god. It was so good. Suddenly, all this blood came splurting out of his stomach or whatever. There was so much! Seriously! 

Aw man, now I really want to watch the anime series. Its just so awesome.
