Dear All,

I just got back from the STCC. Got tons of stuff…

Yeah. And, they’re all chock full of stuff from the comic con!! (I am so grounded from shopping for a while, I think XD ).. except for the big black luggage bag on the right… that’s only about half-full of goodies. Stuff I got include figurines (of course!), cards, stickers, posters, prints, books, dolls, souvenirs (which I won’t post here til I give them to certain people, so as not to ruin the surprise) and even pieces of the walls of one of the booths… PLUS signatures!!! TONS AND TONS OF AUTOGRAPHED AND LIMITED MATERIAL MWAHAHAHA!!!!… oh, and some tech stuff from SImLim too.

But, it’s 2 in the AM now, and the bed is calling. =) I’m surprised I even bothered with this post… but oh well.

Only one regret; not a bad weekend,

Me and my brother, before leaving for Beauty and the Beast. The cartoony looking things that appear to be on his shirt are stickers on the mirror =)


attempted self-portrait =P

Dear all,

Beauty and the Beast kind of rocked last night =D I mean, there were some new songs, and our sound technicians were seriously shit sometimes, and the lady with that annoying baby behind me kind of ruined half the experience (i wanted to turn around and scold the baby or the mom but I was afraid the baby would start crying, and then it’d be my fault) but it was a nice play overall. I got a t-shirt, a cd (orchestrated compilation of all the songs) and a charm bracelet out of it. The snow globe (with a single red rose inside, just like in the cartoon =D ) was beautiful.. but up close, the rose looked kind of… well… shoddy. With a price tag of RM55, I just decided it wasn’t worth it.

Eh, that lady ah… seriously, I don’t know what she and her husband were thinking. She and her husband had one seat each behind us, and then they brought in two OBVIOUSLY UNDER FIVES who were allowed to stand, sit on their laps, etc… and they sat right behind me and my sister. The older of the two (babies) was really quite well behaved… but the smaller child was too much la. I mean, she didn’t start screaming or anything, but she was gurgling and talking almost throughout the entire show. She only seemed to shut up during the loud, scary bits.. and then during the more quiet, sensitive parts, she was all gurgly again. I don’t know what the parents are thinking. helloOOO?? We paid RM450 for a premium seat and you allow them to bring this baby in. PLEASE, like, what are our checkpoint fellows doing? At a minimum of Rm250 a seat, you’d think they’d bother to restrict this show to 6 or 7-year-olds and above, regardless of whether it’s a children’s show or not. I didn’t pay RM450 to have a baby blahblahblah-ing in my ear in the background. I feel for the mother.. but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t friggin annoying. Besides, I think if our positions were reversed, (the mother and I) she’d probably be the first to ask me to be removed from the theatre. She had that look about her face.. the kind of, don’t shit with me, look. I wonder if she felt embarrassed at all.

Will be leaving for singapore in a couple of hours. I’m just about done packing… Apart from my clothes and toiletries I’m also bringing one of my sets of pokemon cards and a few handpicked super-rare-premium yu-gi-oh cards to see if I can sell them. =P My cards are mostly Japanese, though, so I actually doubt there’ll be a market to sell down there… but no harm trying =P As long as I keep those cards close to my heart… literally. ;)

I’m also going to wear those clip on cat-ears I got from Japan last year!! With everyone else cosplaying I figure no one’s going to notice a couple of cat ears on my head. But at least then I’ll fit in-nyaa XD

Or maybe I should bring my leather overcoat instead… the one that looks like a dress on me when I zip it all the way up <3

Hell, I’ll bring both. =D

There’s a photography competition down there and I plan to take part using my T2 album.. well I’m not that keen on winning, I’m just entering for fun.

Well, that’s about all for now, I guess. Can’t talk about much when I’m happy and not emo, and it’s 11-something in the morning. So, like, bye ^o^ I’ll do my best to find a *reasonably* cheap internet connection down there so I can bloggie blog bloggie.

If daddy lets me, I’ll just bring my laptop ;)

iPod nano-hunting,

A new set of legs!! XD Thursday - June 26, 2008

Gila Rabbit!!! Taken in front of Popular and the Pet Shop, at Ikano.

Dear all,

My dad asked me last night, When you go to UK, do you want an iTouch, iPhone, or a red iPod nano?… I’m so smart, man. Guess what I said =X

I was just changing this morning in my walk-in closet and I realized all of a sudden that my legs didn’t look so chubby anymore. =) I’ve been swimming and cycling almost every day since exams ended (I swam nearly everyday in Redang too) and I’m proud to say that my legs have become noticeably better toned!!! Well, they’re certainly not Playboy model material (although a girl can always try =P ) but at least now I don’t find them particularly offensive XD And for a short person like me, every bit of leg counts!! No, i was wide awake and not drunk this morning. I even measured them.. but you probably don’t want to know about that in detail. Hell, i wouldn’t tell you that in detail even if you got on your knees and asked me to freakin marry you. *shudder*

Of course, being outside everyday also means my ‘hitam manis’ skin is becoming slightly more ‘hitam’ and slightly less ‘manis’… although it’s all admittedly very subjective. I was mistaken for a malay a couple more times than usual lately, though…

Now if only I can find an exercise routine to help trim down my tummy just a leeetle more, without turning anorexic or bulimic. Anyone know the best exercise or diet regime to tone your tummy muscles? XD I’ve been googling and stuff like that but I mostly end up on sites that say stuff like, ‘GET A SLIM TUMMY NOW! YOU COULD TURN FROM THIS (super obese person pic) TO THIS (slim, hot, sexy legged doll) IN JUST A FEW WEEKS! TO SUBSCRIBE, CALL X-XXX-XXXX-XXXX OR EMAIL US AT XXXXX@XXXXX.COM. WE ACCPET PAYPAL, CREDIT CARDS, etc.etc”…. ah, you get the pic T_T…. so, like… help would be greatly appreciated XD

There’s something else I’ve always wondered… How does one get ‘tagged’ on a blog? =/  Lyk, LOL i feel s0 n00bi3 4askn sch a Q, bt i’ll nvr noe if i dn ask.

Later tonight we’re all going out to watch the Beauty and the Beast musical at KLCC. I wanted to drag a certain someone along, but I didn’t even ask because I knew what his answer would be =/

In the meantime, it is now 2:30pm and before my siblings get back from school, I’m going to do a couple of laps round the pool.

Today, ten laps. Tomorrow, twenty. And then… the WORLD!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

… sorry, i think I’m a bit high. =)

My daddy once taught me that there’s nothing out of my reach. =)

High time to stop caring what others think. Wednesday - June 25, 2008

Filed under: Emo — xrynx @ 11:59 pm

Dear All,

These days, I find myself constantly catching myself thinking, “I wonder what I’d look like in public”, or ” I wonder what they think of me” or ” Does this look like I’m being too (insert adjective here; egoistic, proud, selfish, etc.)”. I never used to be like this. I’m letting my head rule over my heart, and I hate it so bad it makes me want to puke =.= I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s just that, in a sort of way it makes me despise the way I am now. So, I’m just saying this publicly because it seems that I’m more resolved to do something after I announce to a bunch of people that I’m going to do it.
I’m going to be my own role model. I’m going to make decisions I think are right, not decisions others think are right. I will listen, and consider, but I will not back down unless there’s a good reason/alternative as long as I believe in what I am fighting for. I will not stand idly by while my dreams and beliefs are put down by those around me. I will not walk the path commonly taken… I will find the strength to wander into darkness with my head held high and make my way out the other end. Dreams count for something; my desires and wishes count for something.

Until the very end, I’m going to keep being the me that I want to be… not the me others think I should be.

Isn’t that how everyone else is living?

Guitar Hero On Tour, on tour. Tuesday - June 24, 2008

Dear All,

I finished my Digimon Savers!! Renting now for RM5 a day ;) Unless you’re nice to me XD

The ‘add image’ link seems to have disappeared from the WordPress write post toolbar. Anyone knows where it went?

Today… I went for my dental. then to my surprise (my parents were complaining about me going out almost everyday yesterday =.=) my mom said the driver would drop me off wherever I wanted while waiting for my sister to finish school so we could go pick her up.

Whoopee ^o^

Went to the Software Boutique in SS2 where I got these:

Then I went to Pyramid (again!!) where I got these:

*drool*

From Popular (duh!)

Rm25 =)

I also got these there the other day, while there with Jin, Precelia and the rest of their gang..

All from Vincci’s Summer Sale, except for the smiley face hairclip (Melody) and the butterfly clip (Sigma).

I got this next bit from the Vincci Sale too.. it’s an earphone ring XD

to compliment the new earphones I just got from daddy =P

Oh yeah, and someone special (i won’t mention who to avoid bias) was going to donate a ton of books to a certain charity sale.. but i got first pick!! =D thank you thank you!!

All new (old) books =)

As soon as we got home, I was about to install Spore…but then I found out that my hard drive only have 5Gig of free space (my total space is 80Gig)… so i tried deleting stuff, and at the same time I called my cousin who was in Low Yat to ask him to help buy me another external drive for my pix and videos (from January 08 up to now, there’s about 7 gig… around 1.something Gig a month of piccies XD) but he couldn’t find any at a reasonable price… in Low Yat??? i dunno… so weird wan, all so expensive. anyone know what a reasonable price for 250 Gig is? Portability is a must.

So after so much deleting and removing programs, i finally freed up only about 4 gig. Then I realized, I forgot to empty the recycle bin… (GG!!!!) So now I have 19.5Gig free space (my bin can hold that much?? or glitch? O.o ) and I can install my Spore AND my Neverwinter Nights Gold!! <3 The Sims can wait, I think.

And while waiting for my Spore to install, I had a go at my Guitar Hero skills =P

I love Guitar Hero. The songs in this particular version are a good selection, and the playing style is unique. However, I find myself unable to play this for very long at a time, because…

  • I keep reminding myself that there are only 25 songs (in 4 different modes, one of which i will never touch [Easy])
  • My wrist hurts after a while (despite spending 5 minutes just trying to find a comfortable position to strum
  • My back hurts (from hunching periodically AFTER I’ve found the most comfortable position to strum)
  • The screen is tiny for strumming (never realized..) and I miss notes often in the more difficult/fast songs. Also because of this..
  • One run through of a 4 minute song in Expert Mode and the lower part of my wrist begins to lose all sensation.

However, for the first 30 minutes of playtime, the game totally rocked. =) Great for travelling and freaking everyone else out.

Okay Spore’s done. WIll upload pix of my creations sometime XD

This post is for a friend of mine… Monday - June 23, 2008

Filed under: feature — xrynx @ 4:37 am

This post is for a friend of mine who woke me up at 3AM this morning with a phone call. you know who you are, and people who don’t but are reading this, and know who my friends are, will probably figure it out pretty soon. I don’t even know if this friend of mine reads blogs, particularly my blog, but in case you do, this one’s for you.

When you get caught in the rain, with nowhere to run
When you’re distraught and in pain, without anyone
When you keep crying out to be saved
But nobody comes and you feel so far away
That you just can’t find your way home
You can get there alone
It’s okay, what you say is

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again, on my own
And I know that I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid, I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

And if you keep falling down, don’t you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound
So keep pressing on steadfastly
And you’ll find what you need to prevail
What you say

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again, on my own
And I know that I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid, I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

And when the wind blows
As shadows grow close, don’t be afraid
There’s nothing you can’t face
And sure they tell you, you’ll never pull through
Don’t hesitate, stand tall and say, yeah

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again, on my own
And I know that I’m strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid, I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day
And I make it through the rain

I can make it through the rain
And stand up once again
And I live one more day and night
And I can make it through the rain
(Oh yes you can)
You’re gonna make it through the rain


~Through the Rain by Mariah Carey

I’d sing this for you, if it makes you laugh, makes you smile again. You’re a good, sweet, strong guy. I know you feel like total shit right now, and totally useless, but i hope that even by the time you read this post (I’m going to tag this post with your name, after a week or two)  you’ll be feeling better. I know it’s too much to ask that you to get over it so quickly… But in any case I wish you a swift and joyful recovery. We’re here for you when you want us to be, so don’t hesitate, k?

I also apologize in advance.. i just did something that I only just realized might annoy you instead of cheer you up. If it DID annoy you, you’ll have realized what I’m talking about by now and yes, I was behind it. I totally forgot that some people recover better after some ‘alone’ time. I find myself hoping now that you’re not one of those people ^^”

I can’t say in words how sorry and sad I feel for you.. and I can’t find the words to make you feel better because I’ve been down that road and I know that there are no words that can make you feel better at this point in time. Although, as you said, the best thing to do now is probably to let her go. You gotta conquer that jealousy, that regret, and I know you can do it =) Try channeling it towards your work. Will you be in town soon? Maybe we can go out for a movie one of these weekends, if you feel like it. =) It’s all your call now.

And lastly (this is the most important)… we’ll be here for you when you feel like ranting or talking. I can say with total confidence that I speak these words also for Thomas, Wei Seng, Xin Yi, Max, and the rest of our friends.

Take care, you. =)

Damn poser picture XD

Dear All,

Haven’t really had time to update… which, i suppose, for me, is somewhat of a good thing, because it usually means I’ve been out having fun. It’s kinda sad how when I’m so happy with my life and i got tons of happinessness i want to share with the world, i just can’t find the time to tell anyone about it. I miss blogging. Let’s start from the top.

Graduation nightfinally, after 12.5 years of nonstop schooling, we get our first 3-month break., It feels reallyreallyreally good to kick back. Until, of course, your parents start nagging you because your room has no walking space. Well, okay, I admit it’s in a sort of mess… but I really don’t mind it. Anyway, everytime I clean it up, 24 hours later i’m back where I started because of the two people who practically live in my room other than me. I get demotivated every round and no one seems to notice that, they just seem to notice that there’s no change in the quality of the cleanliness of my room.

sorry, went a bit off track there.. i just got nagged for not cleaning up my room =.=

afk.

it has taken me 45 minutes and I have cleared the floor of my room as well as several bookshelves. I’ll do the tables tomorrow.. I really can’t be bothered right now =.=

okay, now where was I…?

Graduation night.. again… like i was saying, it’s damn fun… to be able to let loose, to cheer and cry for your friends… and especially, to see that side of your teachers that you’ve never seen before XD photos from my camera are here. next…

REDANG TRIP!!… it was tons of fun… karaoke-ing, drinking, clubbing (We will, we willl ROCK YOU!!) and of course, snorkelling, swimming and camwhoring XD

honestly, I’m a bit lazy to post pics, so anyone interested, please ask me personally BEFORE i leave for UK.. i’ll burn it or transfer into a drive for you. There is, however, one movie I’d like to share with all of you XD It’s quite funny and silly to watch… or listen to *hint**hint* … mostly in the 2nd half, though.

Me and the S-fives saw a comet that night!! We heard a loud-yet-muffled boom and there was this burning thingy in the sky that flew right across the mountains I can think of no other possible thing it would have been… a  firework wouldn’t light up the sky like fricking day, a shooting star would have to be further away and fall longer, and a flare would not have fallen that straight.. I’m pretty much convinced it was a comet… At the very least, i hope it was =)

I’m not usually one for the quote ‘Ignorance is bliss’… but even if u don’t think so, please don’t tell me. I really don’t want to know =)

Last night.. went to watch a play my sister is taking part in in her school… it’s the musical version of Thumbelina. so damn cute. They had a professional team come to take videos and photos and stuff. we ordered a dvd for RM15. It amazes me that they could train a team of 9-11 year olds to memorize and perform a 90-minute musical play in 6 months. I wish I had had that opportunity =,( *SHNIFFF*

And since then.. i’ve been so… sleepy.

Went shopping actually. shopping like, gila mad mad shopping. Summer sale everywhere!!! Wheeeee~…

Bought several necklaces and earrings at Padini Concept Store and Melody… my fav haunt for accessories <3 Thanks to the privilege card they gave us at graduation, I got so many extra discounts ^o^ I’m so in love with what I bought… I will definately post pictures when I can. My camera’s like… dead.

I haven’t been using my N95 since it frizzled out on me since we came back from Cameron Highlands for my birthday. Then Jin sent me an email about how you can ’save’ a handphone that’s been swimming by putting it in uncooked rice overnight. No harm trying, I suppose, as opposed to taking it back to the shop and paying to have it repaired. I will try tomorrow, when I come back from Midvalley. Thanks, Jin. =)

I’m so tired now. Just came back from having dinner with the rest of the S5 gang… Wen Chi is leaving for America… time seems to fly so fast.. I didn’t really know her all that well, but she was still fun to talk to, when we did. =) I won’t forget you, girl… good luck all the way over there, and take care of yourself!! Come back safe and visit us. I’m sure everyone else is saying and thinking the same =)

Okay, mom giving me that look. I’m going to sleep now.

Lya,
