Ack all my hair is standing on end this is so much fail. I couldn't move the first minute I looked at this ... my limbs were frozen in place out of embarrassment. Check out the freakishly rainbow coloured backgrounds and the character designs. I know I can't be a good judge because I don't like manga to begin with but I have some respect for some styles which are pretty cool. THIS STYLE IS NOT.
Argh come on people you can find classier artists than this. Bleh I can't bear to look at it but I can't tear my eyes away. It's like a car crash.
Just found the best way to take my mind off things ... Wrote a letter to myself saying all the things that I'm too scared to say aloud and I'm too ashamed to think about. It's good to just lift myself out of myself and see everything from another person's POV, know what I mean?
I think it worked. I feel oodles better. :)
Been spending the past few days watching season 2 of Gossip Girl. Yeah I know I'm way behind. Pfft. I think I'm hooked. Why are they all so damn pretty? I could stare at their faces for hours. Oh wait, that's exactly what I've been doing. Haha.
Heading for swimming later, Hanna's got a class and I'm driving. Swimming is the best thinking time! Awesome. Ta.
Went to Mid Valley yesterday to celebrate Hannah's birthday. Happy birthday Hannah! :D
I fetched Iffah and Nad and we set off onto what we didn't know was going to be a long road trip. None of us are familiar with Mid Valley ... the last time I went there was four months ago and I was definitely not driving. So I missed the turning into the mall and we ended up driving towards Cheras. This is the part where I began to freak out - I was laughing hysterically in the driver's seat because goshdarnit I have never driven into KL in my life and the thought of being lost in some place I didn't know was daunting.
Somehow or other we ended up on the highway heading for Putrajaya of all places. A few turns later and a U-turn, we were driving past Bukit Jalil Stadium. Arghhh. Finally found a highway that looked vaguely familiar and could have cried tears of happiness when I saw Taylor's Lakeside Campus. Hahahahhaahha. I was so happy. We had made a huge roundabout. We arrived in Mid Valley an hour and a half after we left home. It's pretty funny now that I look back on it.
Mid Valley was freaking packed. Took us 45 minutes to find a parking. I am never going back there again. Not driving there anyway. Never again! Unless someone else is driving. Yeah.
Birthday girl with the movie tickets for New Moon. :) Movie was damn boring. I wanted to sleep. The only parts I felt alive was the scene with the wolves and Volturi. If the movie was about epic fighting between the wolves and Volturi I would be really really really happy. But it's not. So ah well. This made me laugh though:
Bella: I'm coming. Edward: I don't want you to come. Bella: I want to come!
And then at the end of the movie ...
Edward: Bella, come. Bella: No.
Whaaaaat hahahaha. Along with the Hindustan running through the forest scene. That was hilarious.
On the way home with Nad I took yet another wrong turning and ended up in TTDI. Hadoi. It was a good day though. I'm exhausted but it was an amazing day and I had loads of fun. The road trips made it memorable. Days like these make me want to love everyone in the world. Hahaha. Love love love.
Watched this on a whim with the fam last night. It's been busy busy busy so when there was a 9 o' clock show, we just up and rushed to OU to watch it. The cinema was packed! I was worried that it was going to be noisy, what with all the squealing toddlers but it was actually a really fun audience. Everyone laughed at all the right moments and clapped when the movie ended. Haha.
So, the movie itself. I really enjoyed it! It made me realise how long it's been since I watched a 2D movie in the cinema. It's a good experience, so catch this while it's still showing. The plotline is a twist on the original Frog Prince story, which I think everyone already knows. And as is custom with any Disney 2D movie, there are songs! There was one particular number that I really liked, about what you need and not what you want. Dunno the name.
Oh and the best part? Believable love story. Or at least better than the old style meet today, married tomorrow. Heh. It was cute lah. I hope that this means that they'll be makign more 2D movies. I feel like watching this one again.
In other news, midsem break has started! I've only got assignments planned. Not inserting anything else so far because I want to see if I can kick my creative juices into producing something worthwhile. I still haven't started on my latest DIY frame set yet. And I want to get some writing done on AfterParty. And maybe some drawing too. Here I goooo.
I just realised ... If the same thing that happened to me in May happens again, I'll be pretty devastated.
I think I should sharpen my observation skills. Being oblivious to things happening right before my eyes is turning out to be majority of the reasons why I go into emo-mode.
I just don't want it to happen again. I'm far too happy about how things are right now and I don't want the dynamics ruined.
Tomorrow is the last day of college for this year. Sure doesn't feel like it ... so many things to get done during the holidays. Let's go and do this.
Mowgli-googly bear darling, How were we supposed to know that our time together would be so short? Time together is just never quite enough. Thank you for being there for us after Scout said goodbye. Thank you for the healing. I'm sorry you had to go so soon. We miss you already, baby.
Here's to the original Party Cat (Meow-Meow). I hope you're partying it hard in catheaven.
Thursday started out raining. Came to college with two umbrellas because Sammie was stuck in the carpark without one. Heh. Walked into class and realised that I forgot to print out my IELTS style essay. Cue the panic! Frantically called Mama and she got Mira to wake up and email it to me in college. Temporary panic over. And then Ms. M says that we have to finish our research proposal on THAT DAY ITSELF and hand it in before 5. Cue another panic, since that we had already made plans to meet everyone at Pyramid. :/
So we speed-typed through everything. Then we waited for Ms. M in the classroom but I was silly and forgot to ask her where she would be waiting so she was waiting in the office instead. Teng. Finally we handed the proposal in and raced off to the carpark to our well-deserved day of fun. x)
What can I say? It was a good time. When I came home, I made the mistake of watching Friends bloopers on YouTube. While I was laughing, I realised just how much I was suffering from laughter overdose. My body was seriously exhausted. I had the spent the whole day running around, panicking for half of it and laughing like a maniac for like what? Four whole hours. I was conked out. I haven't slept so early in months. Haha. Talk about whirlwind.
Awww I love you guys, every single insane one of you. :)
Firstly, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to everyone. :)
Secondly, I FINISHED NANOWRIMO. Brought the laptop to Gombak where I spent four hours in front if it typing. Finished a little before midnight then went to sleep for Raya the next morning, that is today.
I feel like I can breathe again. Haha. Now time to hit the pile of writing assignments!
The past two weeks have been wicked fun. :) I didn't get to do a few things I wanted to ... I didn't get started on my new DIY frame kit for one thing. And I didn't have time to make my cover for next year's organizer. Or watch some DVDs I've been planning to watch. But here's a dump of stuff. It's more for my benefit really ... so when I look back on this post I'll remember what was going on.
WARNING. Big fat post.
This is my cover for my NaNoWriMo novel. :) Made it myself on a whim. I'm quite fond of it. So far the word count is at 34,368. I have another week to pull almost 20,000 words out of my butt. I can do it! Insyaallah. I really want to get to the finishing line for this thing.
This song is the soundtrack of my MONTH. I love it to bits and pieces. And I FOUND IT FIRST. GRR. I was listening to it for like a month before the radio started doing it. I'm ticked that they got their cheesy mainstream media hands on it but at least if he gets a bigger audience in Malaysia, the chances of him making a concert here is higher. Hmm.
I also made a little something on GIMP2. Super proud of it but can't post it up yet because the person it's meant for hasn't seen it yet. Maybe in another month. ;)
Movies I watched:
I cried. Haha. Yenny laughed when I told her that but I could see her wiping her eyes too. Hehe.
This was tiring to watch. A lot of the time I had my hands covering my face going "OMG DRIVE FASTER ARGHHHH". SPOILER here skip to next paragraph if you don't like it. The only bit that really stayed with me was the ending: "Where have you been all my life?" "Gift shop." Hahahaha that made me smile.
Yes I know lah, lambat tengok. Haha. Borrowed the DVD from Acu and watched it on the comp. OMG I love it. The geek in me loves it. I love it like I love every other epic sci-fi fantasy I've ever encountered. Haha. I can't wait for the sequel. It's so quirky and FUN. I love the little Russian dude. He is adorable. Hahaha.
Good gosh, I love this movie. It's so cool. The animation is pretty freaking awesome and even thought some of it was pretty weird, that made the movie even quirkier. The soundtrack was very dream-like, which I think was a nice choice. Gave it a dark sort of feel. I wouldn't mind watching it again.
People who made things interesting over the past two weeks:
Saltwater Roomies - Nigel, Sammie and Marc. ;) Played Sims3 (or rather, Nigel played it while the rest of us lurked in the background) which is a messed up soap opera and then went to OU for waffles and pool (which was mostly Marc and Sammie, the rest of us just lurked in the background).
Yenny! Partner in crime (I'm just the sidekick, she's the evil genius) and NS buddy. Haha. Had lunch and managed to catch Time Traveler's Wife a half hour after it started. Then had our customary chit-chat session over lunch and a mini road trip back to her place. Kinda sad our day got cut in half though. :(
Hamizah my listening ear. x3 We bumped into Hani at Nichii. So cool. Went swimming at Hamizah's place and had some heart-to-heart timez. Spent the whole day together. Had a great time. Here's to hoping it doesnt rain in the evenings so we can actually do our jogging thing. Haha.
And my Sri Aman lovelies. This was the best picture we could take with all four of us at once. Haha. Sophie, Hannah and Aidil. We spent our time taking pictures with kiddy rides. Or rather, Aidil spent her time taking pictures with kiddy rides.
Soph didn't take pictures with the kiddy rides. Haha.
Anyway, I had a great time. Now it's time to GET THINGS READY for 3rd sem. Cool. :)
