Yuri's here! She's changed so much! She's gotten thinner and her hair's a LOT longer now! She's absolutely beautiful! Not that she wasn't previously, she's just....seriously became SOOO pretty and mature! (*´∀｀*) I think it had to do with the way she does her makeup now too...makeup really does change ppl...o_O
But anyway, we went to Cleland Wildlife Park and Mount Lofty today. It was pretty interesting coz i've never been there before. Yes i know nearly 4 years here and i've never went there before...-_-lll I'm just not an outdoor-sy person...^^;; But anyway, saw kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and some native birds. Too tired to explain more so...pics will do....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
( Animals, anyone? (ﾟ∀ﾟ) )
There were more animals, like emus, wombats and loads of birds but i didn't take any pics of them. There were also supposed to be echidnas but we couldn't see any...-_-lll Must've been too cold, everyone's hiding in their burrows....
Anyway, we went hiking up Mount Lofty after that.....and honestly i nearly died...-_-lll The track was REALLY steep....i know i'm unfit, but it was ridiculous! -_-lll Oh well, at least the view made up for it....almost anyway....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) But yeah it was really pretty, you could basically see the whole of Adelaide up there. ヽ(´ー`)ノ All in all it was a pretty good experience, just wished the weather wasn't so freaking cold....(;´Д｀;) Tropical animal here....-_-lll
Will be going to Hahndorf tomorrow! So at least there won't be this much walking...(o^-')b And i like the place. There nice cute shops and awesome restaurants there. We'll be going to a chocolate factory after that too. o(≧∇≦)o On the downside, i won't be able to see James for a while, as i'll be spending most of my time this week with Yuri, and James is going back to his house on the hills to visit his parents for a few days...(´・ω・`)
Also, i want to make something! Green tea mousse and butter cake are top on my list right now. Need to borrow Momoyo's mixer sometime soon....

This is awesome! I already have 3 parties to go to for 3 consecutive weekends! o(≧∇≦)o
3rd - Ryota, Simon and Martin's house party
10th - Thomas' house party
18th - Denise' birthday party, which will be all over the city as she loves pub crawling...(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
And James finishes his exams tomorrow so we'll prolly go out to dinner tomorrow and then prolly watch movies at his place. o(≧∇≦)o
Anyway, watched Transformers yesterday...and i was pretty dissappointed. -_-lll The 1st one was miles better. I know that it's just an action film and you shouldn't expect too much from the plot etc, but still, it was just....too unbelievable! -_-lll Things happen for no apparent reason most of the time, i can't tell what the hell is happening when the robots are fighting (it's like....a heap of scrap metal banging against each other), and...the things with the pyramids and that Al Kazneh scene...it was just plain silly! They could at least attempt to make the things more....hidden and not in plain sight. As if ppl wouldn't notice it through all the years! Even one of the characters said "You think archeologists haven't been here before?". Also i hate those tiny robots, they're so annoying. I know they tried to inject humour into it, but..there IS a thing such as too much...-_-lll Sigh, i was so looking forward to it as well....oh well....(´・ω・`)
Been playing Clover no Kuni no Alice a lot these days....and they all look so awesome in the suits! I especially love Alice's new dress!
I just have a thing with guys in suits and ties and also dresses with criss-crossed ribbons in the front. (*´∀｀*) I'm so excited that ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ruekiwill be doing a Blood cosplay! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
One thing i've noticed though, is that i don't really get all fangirly abt Blood as much as i used to. He's still as hot and silently maniacal and セクハラ as usual but...i'm just not that interested in him anymore. I think eversince i got together with James i've kinda lost interest in characters like him? o_O I'm more interested in characters like Pierce and Elliot now, coz they're more docile and not pushy and definitely not so セクハラ (though, James is pretty セクハラ...i told him abt it and he was like "Boyfriend's privillege"....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)) But i guess, it kinda carries into the characters in the game as well? o_O I wonder if i'll still like the Twins' route now....-_-lll It's just like how i said to Momoyo that i really like guys who are like Blood in otome games, but in real life i want someone who's gentle and cute. (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Also, i'm at the last chapter of the last case in Gyakuten Kenji! It's really annoying how the villians keep trying to worm their way out ALL THE FREAKING TIME! -_-lll It drags on too long for after a while....just like the other Phoenix Wright games as well...but i think this one is really TOO long! I've already gone through TWO chapters questioning the final villian....god! -_-lll And a lot of the time i feel like i'm defending ppl instead of prosecuting them. But on the whole the game is still pretty good. ヽ(´ー`)ノ I definitely like playing as Edgeworth. o(≧∇≦)o Will prolly finish the game either later in the afternoon or tonight. (o^-')b The last case is really very very confusing though...-_-lll
Anyway, yes!!! I got my Btssb dress yesterday!!! o(≧∇≦)o
( Pic beneath the cut! )
Yes, better pics will come, most prolly during Avcon i guess...^^;; But anyway, I really love the dress! It's so cute! It's a lot pinker than i thought though...^^;; There are buttons that hold the bows together at the back (yeah there are ribbons at the back and you can tie it into a bow), and they're heart shaped! It's just so adorable! And the lace is really pretty! (*´∀｀*) But the dress on the whole is a bit too big...i have a small frame...and...-_-lll Well, i don't think it's my breasts that are too small, just my ribs in general so...yeah, the front looks a bit dodgy as i have to tighten it a bit...as if Japanese girls are bigger sized than me! -_-lll But haha...how tall do i look in these shoes? o(≧∇≦)o I think i'm at least 165cm in them! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

I used to think that Little Britain was really stupid and pointless, and the 1st time i watched it 2 years ago i immediately walked off after 5 minutes but now..well i still think it's stupid and pointless but i guess i find it funny as well....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Me and James have been watching a lot of it recently, i think i should show him Black Books and some of Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey's stand up comedies as well after we finish Little Britain. (o^-')b
Oh yeah, i'm now officially re-addicted to Clover no Kuni no Alice again! ヽ(´ー`)ノ I'm still at the prologue but...omg....i was literally DYING of cuteness when Alice went to the forest with all the doors and arrows, coz that's where she first meets Pierce. (*´∀｀*) He's SO CUTE! I just want to pick him up and snuggle him! (つ´▽｀)つ LOOK AT THIS!
SO CUTE!!!!!!!! o(≧∇≦)o Alice thought Pierce was a bear at first....coz of his ears, while Pierce was saying "What!? Will a bear have such lovely and awesome ears?" (ﾟ∀ﾟ) AND THEN! Alice mentioned Boris, which led to....
( Mini Boris and Pierce comic strip...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) )
Oh man, honestly, i was laughing so hard during this whole scene. o(≧∇≦)o I'm soooo tempted to go through Pierce's route now, he's just so adorable! (*´∀｀*) But i can't coz i already chose to live in the Hatter Estate...-_-lll Oh well....but I really thought i was gonna melt because of all this cuteness! I actually told James to give this game for a try, JUST FOR THE LULZ! o(≧∇≦)o And he actually said YES HE IS INTERESTED! He KNOWS what otome games are, and he HAS seen my Alice artbook before as well....Omg....*dies* o(≧∇≦)o
Anyway, gonna go watch Transformers with Ino and the bunch on Tuesday. Can't wait! o(≧∇≦)o After next week James and all my friends will have finished their exams, and thus it will REALLY be the holidays!!! And this means more time to hangout with them, and house parties!! And Yuri is coming to visit as well! I'm sooooo happy right now! ヽ(´∇`)ノ

Lookie!
My lovely Clover no Kuni no Alice!! ヽ(´▽`)ノ I picked it up on Wednesday afternoon, but I haven't played it yet as i haven't been home much these days...^^;; I finally did start it today...and holy crap the artwork has improved SO MUCH! It's as if...outside CGs, the artists have finally discovered shading....o(≧∇≦)o But i don't like the new drawings they have of Alice during gameplay. She looks too kiddish now, coz in Heart no Kuni she looked more like she was in her late teens, like maybe 19 or 20, now she looks....16...-_-lll But anyway, haven't played that much yet as, as usual with Quin Rose games, the prologue is SUPERLY long.....-_-lll I'll prolly get my interest back in it after i start on Blood's route...i'm really tempted to go through the Twins' route first though...BUT I SHALL RESIST! (`・ω・´)
Also, my Bodyline shoes arrived!
And here's another pic of it worn
( beneath the cut )
I really can't wait for the Baby dresses to arrive! Sweet Lolita, here i come! o(≧∇≦)o The pink Baby dress has already been shipped out! So now....just the other one from Closet Child...ヽ(´ー`)ノ
Also, i'm nearly done with Gyakuten Kenji! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) The last case is confusing the crap out of me though, coz of the 2 countries...-_-lll You keep going back and forth and the ppl come and go...and suddenly you forgot what happened and which embassy was it again? And....
( Spoiler )
I think i might finish it off tonight actually..instead of playing Clover...since i'm at the last chapter of the last case already...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) That is..if my period pains aren't too bad...i can feel them acting up again...-_-lll

[music| Plastic Tree - Consent]
MY COPY OF CLOVER NO KUNI NO ALICE HAS ARRIVED!!!! o(≧∇≦)o Unfortunately i wasn't around on Friday when it arrived, so i need to go pick it up at the post office. I'm only going to go pick it up on Wednesday though, coz i still haven't finished my assignment that's due on Wednesday...so if i do get it....i will NOT get any work done...-_-lll
I'm still very excited though....(*´∀｀*) Blood! Elliot! And the twins!!!!! o(≧∇≦)o
Anyway, don't you just love Chinatown? Not only are there cute Asian boys with awesome hair (which me and Momoyo used to squeal abt...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) We both went through a period where we thought HK boys looked really cool...^^;;), the stuff in the Asian groceries are just....amusingly weird sometimes...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Like this!
Crappy pic, but it says 'Bud of Chinese Toon' in the bottom line. I'm Chinese, and even i don't know what the hell that means! And in any case, even if it does mean something...it's just...funny in general...o(≧∇≦)o Stuff from China and Japan and Korea have the weirdest quotes on them as well, it's hilarious. (ﾟ∀ﾟ) I showed Momoyo this quote on some Chinese apple vinegar thing and she couldn't stop laughing. It said something along the lines of 'You will experience a new taste of love'.....wtf!! o(≧∇≦)o
I got Plastic Tree's new single Fukurou...and....i'm severely dissappointed....(´・ω・`) I hate Fukurou....i really do. I've never hated any songs by Pura before, and everyone knows what a crazy Ryuutarou fangirl i am....so this is a first. I don't like how staticky that song is, especially the opening..makes me feel like i'm gasping for breath just listening to it....-_-lll The chorus drives me up the wall as well. I really hate it when Ryuutarou tries to sing really loud or rocky-ish. It just doesn't suit him, especially in this song. Consent was horrible too, the first time i listened to it, then on the 2nd listen it got better....-_-lll
Also, i got 2 Baby dresses! ヽ(´ー`)ノ Yeah, i said i was gonna give it up, but....i went to the meetup and......well, i guess i got my passion for it back again....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) I got a red one and...a pink one! o_O
( Pics beneath the cut! )Yes, for once, after 6 years, i'm gonna try sweet Lolita.....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) I'll need to get new shoes and socks for it though, but i guess it'll be alright, since Bodyline has so many new cute and cheap shoes. ヽ(´ー`)ノ I swear i will NOT get any more clothes this year! orz But in any case, i have a feeling i'm gonna sell the dress off after one or two outings with it, since i'm not the sort that likes sweet stuff that much...^^;;
I guess now i have new clothes for Avcon! (o^-')b. Oh yeah....i forgot to mention..i got bribed into doing the maid cafe in Avcon...orz And i wasn't even planning on going! -_-lll But yeah, Jenita...she has her powers of persuasion....very dangerous....-_-lll Anyway, it's kinda degrading, but...i guess it'll be fun, kinda like..normal waitressing in frilly clothes? The dresses are cute and not the suggestive sort, and it's only for 2 hours, so i guess it's alright. ^^;; And Momoyo and James (he'll be in a suit as a host instead! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)) will be doing it as well. o(≧∇≦)o I thought i was gonna have to use force to make James join but he actually went 'Sure it'll be fun.' TOTALLY not expecting it...o_O Momoyo immediately went "I WANNA DO IT TOO!!!" when i told her abt the maid cafe thing....o(≧∇≦)o So yeah, next month....^^;;
Got to go cook dinner now! It's spam and veggies and rice for me again...-_-lll

I saw the cover for Gackt's new single, Koakuma Heaven, a few days ago and......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
 
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YES THE FIRST ONE IS GACKT!!!!!!!!!!!! o(≧∇≦)o He's in the 2nd one as well, the one in the middle. I really COULD NOT stop laughing when i saw it. Wtf!!! I know this is a parody of Ageha magazine, but it still doesn't make it any less hilarious! o(≧∇≦)o It's pretty cool that he actually managed to get Ageha models to pose with him in the 2nd cover though. I see Sayaka and Sayo up the front! (*´∀｀*) Not sure i like the main song much, but My Father's Day is a definite win with me....(o^-')b
Anyway, had lunch with James yesterday at Sushi Train. I hadn't had sushi in SUCH a long time now...so it was fantastic! (*´∀｀*) I cannot live without raw salmon, honestly...i cannot! I love it so much, especially aburi salmon! (*´∀｀*) I hate cooked salmon, but lightly grilled salmon, with mayo and teriyaki sauce.....it's absolutely heavenly! ヽ(´▽`)ノ Hung out at James' place during the afternoon, and we made banana milkshakes! And he cooked chicken for dinner at night! Lookey!
Pic's kinda crappy, but it was actually really good. I was really impressed! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) He refused to tell me what was in there, and i can't tell either. It was like...musky, tangy and salty....i really don't know what's in it...^^;; But he marinated it for a night so the flavour was really strong. I really really liked it. (*´∀｀*) He was using oven mitts and stuff so it was really funny in a cute way, and i managed to snap a pic of that, but i think he'll kill me if i ever post it up....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Now i feel i have to cook something equally good as well...and besides, no way am i gonna lose to a guy.....(`・ω・´)
Anyway we played a bit of Xbox (where he lost in Soul Caliber 4 to me for 13 times in a row....-_-lll but all's fair coz i lost to him a lot in another racing game (ﾟ∀ﾟ)) after dinner. We also tried a bit of this Terry Pratchett Discoworld game on his computer, but both of us got bored after a while. After that, played Worms 2, which was really nostalgic! (*´∀｀*) I absolutely LOVED that game when i was in primary school/junior highschool! He totally killed me in that though..-_-lll I am NOT good at aiming. Played a bit of Mario Kart after that too coz i brought my DS to his place. We were taking turns doing the missions, so it was really fun! ヽ(´ー`)ノ Got back at 1.30, but only slept at 4. -_-lll I really need to do something abt my sleeping schedule...
Also, i think i should never ever go to James' place when his twin brother, Laurence, is around...James alone is annoying enough with his remarks and stuff, but when both of them team up together....orz It's horrible...-_-lll
I finally did 60% of my essay....grrr....i really don't want to do it. It's gonna be such a crap essay....orz Damnit, and it's due on Wednesday and on top of that i have to do a Powerpoint for it...i really don't have the motivation to do it at all...(;´Д｀;)

Watched Terminator 4 with James yesterday. Wasn't planning to actually watch it at all, but since James wanted to watch something we went. It was funny, i was just planning to walk back home with him but we ended up having dinner and movie. (ﾟ∀ﾟ) How the hell do things happen like that sometimes!? orz But anyway, was kinda dissappointed at the movie. It was sooooooo predictable. -_-lll For an action film, it wasn't bad, but i just don't like how cliched the plot is. Lol..i got really amused when the Arnie look-alike came onscreen and some ppl were clapping though. (ﾟ∀ﾟ) I really liked T1 and T2. So yeah, the music as well, it was quite nostalgic. But yeah, the ending...i was like...."OH GOD WHAT!!!! I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN!" -_-lll The movie finished at around 11.45 and by the time we reached Chinatown Coles was already open, so we got some stuff there coz we were both hungry. ^^;; Played some Mario Kart (as Momoyo left her DS at my house) together and finally got to sleep at like....5....-_-lll Well, i would have slept earlier if James didn't keep talking and annoying me....(`・ω・´) I'm like a total zombie today, as i woke up at 9 (freaking housemates!)...-_-lll Had to meet Emil for lunch as it's Wednesday and we always had lunch on Wednesday. Met Momoyo and Ryo later and we hung out a bit. I was soooo out of it though...-_-lll Safe to say i didn't manage to do any of my assignment today...-_-lll
I made the cupcakes, and i think i didn't beat it enough, so it ended up being...muffin-ish. -_-lll It was also too sweet for me, and i had already cut down on the sugar! o_O Oh well, Momoyo absolutely LOVED it though (she ate 3) and James liked it too so hey....ヽ(´ー`)ノ
Anyway, i found this Deviantart thingy online and it's like...those paper dress up dolls, only...it's Himegyaru! It's soooo cute! o(≧∇≦)o Here're a few i've done!
( rest beneath the cut! )I think the 1st blue one was my favourite. I like this paperdoll thing, reminds me of my childhood...and besides, i've always liked looking at Hime stuff. It's so pretty and girly and feminine....(*´∀｀*) There're other styles there as well, but the Goth Loli one was just weird, not really that Goth Loli, but the kimono/yukata one was quite good. ヽ(´ー`)ノ Me and Wing had a lot of fun creating slutty kimonos....o(≧∇≦)o
It seems that Australia is playing against Japan today in soccer...and loads of Japanese ppl i know are totally psyched abt the match, some of them even betted 100 dollars on Japan winning...-_-lll They're all down at the sports bar at Hindley atm....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Was not gonna go watch at all...but just 5 minutes ago James smsed me and...well, it seems like i'm going now! -_-lll

[music| Rentrer en Soi - Stay Gold]
I was chatting with Momoyo on MSN just now and she suddenly told me that she has shocking news......one of the models from Ageha, Sumire, has died. At first i thought she was just kidding coz she cares squat abt Ageha (and Momoyo does joke around more often than is appropriate...sorry Momo, as much as i love you, you do....), but then....i found out that it's actually true! o_O She had a brain hemorrhage....and she was only 21! God, she was younger than me! I can't believe she's dead! It was just so sudden. I don't keep up with her blog, though i do read Rin's and Momoka Eri's occasionally. Both of them sounded so devastated by it. orz I'm feeling quite sad as well, since she's one of my favourite models. She looks gorgeous and always had this classy aura. (;´Д｀;) It'll be so weird and sad seeing her alive and gorgeous in this month's Ageha...o_O
Sigh, rest in peace.

Mmm....apricot yogurt...soooo gooooooood.....(*´∀｀*)
Anyway! Got a call from Momoyo this morning, and the FIRST thing she said was '遊ぼう？' (ﾟ∀ﾟ) So yeah, she came over, we hung out a bit, then had lunch, and then after that met up with Ino and we had the awesome hot chocolate at Cibo. After that we went shopping around the city. It's the sales right now so stuff everywhere is a lot cheaper. I tried on this really cute dress in Myers...but as usual with clothes here, it's TOO FREAKING BIG! orz Especially since the dress was a spaghetti striped one. -_-lll Even layering it with a t-shirt inside didn't help. My shoulders are just too small. The dress was a size SIX for goodness sake! orz Never ever try on clothes in Myers...ever.....their clothes are always too big! (`・ω・´) But anyway, we went to a few more shops, and finally stopped at Forever New where....i got this!!!
When i tried this coat on i knew that i just HAD to have it! It was 50% off as well! I needed a new winter coat anyway, since i didn't bring my old one back from Malaysia. It's the prettiest coat i've ever seen! I love checks in general, the cutting is cute and feminine, and the inside is lined with soft, smooth satin. It's really lovely to wear! (*´∀｀*)I'm so happy to finally have something from Forever New!! ヽ(´▽`)ノ I've always loved their clothes, since they're really girly and pretty! But they're always SO expensive! orz I used to love Dotti as well, but recently their clothes have been really Boho-ish, and i really don't like that style so...-_-lll
I can totally wear this for the Lolita meetup tomorrow! Since it's gonna be cold tomorrow and i was worried abt what coat to match my stuff with. ヽ(´ー`)ノ
Also, I found this recipe for green tea cupcakes (i love that site btw!) a few weeks ago, and....I bought green tea powder today! So i'm totally gonna make green tea cupcakes on Sunday! o(≧∇≦)o Momoyo's coming over to overnight on Sunday, so we might make it together! I was wondering if i should make green tea icing (i don't like mascarpone that much) for it as well, but to be honest, they're only there for aesthetic value. Me and Momoyo (and all of my non-Australian friends as well...) are used to not having icing on cakes anyway (TOO SWEET GOD!) so...i think i'll just sprinkle some green tea powder on top of them. (o^-')b
Anyway, i think i feel a lot better on splurging now, as i've managed to sell 2 things (the Putumayo pink and black skirt with the cats and the Sexpot Revenge black and white woolen sweater). The money i'm getting will totally make up for The Sims 3, Clover no Kuni no Alice and half of the coat! ヽ(´▽`)ノ
p/s: Oh goddamnit! I just looked at Putumayo's website and they have a bunch of really cute new skirts.....orz I really like their Lace Coaster Frill skirt and the Ribbon Ice Frill skirt... (;´Д｀;) The Merry Go Sharing dress is SOOOO pretty as well! Of all brands, why aren't they shipping overseas!? Their stuff is SO much cuter (okay, to me anyway), casual and more importantly, affordable, than other burando....

[music| Kagrra - Ren]
Met up with James yesterday morning to get groceries coz we planned to cook curry for dinner that night. I haven't cooked Japanese curry in AGES! It was so good! ヽ(´ー`)ノ I never cook curry anymore these days coz it's always a big pot and i can never finish it. We were watching bits of American Dad before cooking, and it was just so funny. I'm seriously addicted to that show! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Anyway, James went to sleep a little after dinner coz he apparently woke up at 6 in the morning, which is pretty good for me since i managed to catch up a bit on Gyakuten Kenji.
I've finished the 2nd case and am now currently playing the 3rd one. The crime recreation thing Mikumo has is pretty cool...and....Emma is back in the game! ヽ(´ー`)ノ I was so happy when i heard her music! She's so cute! (*´∀｀*) But she's only 18, so i'm kinda confused. I thought this game would be right after Apollo Justice, but apparently it's somewhere between the 3rd Phoenix Wright. Kinda weird but oh well....doesn't really matter. (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Anyway, met Momoyo for lunch today and she made strawberry shortcake at my place after that. It was hers and Leo's 2 year anniversary so she was making the cake for him. She made some extras for me, Yuki and her aunt as well, and mine had super extra cream. (o^-')b Cream is good. I love cream! I was licking the extra cream off the mixer's beaters, and scooping out some leftover cream from the mixing bowl too! Soooo good! (*´∀｀*) It was fun, and the cake was pretty good too. (*´∀｀*) It's funny, whenever Momoyo and Leo have any sort of anniversary, and she makes stuff, I would get them too. She made caramel pudding last time (it was their 22nd month anniversary i think...), and i got one as well. (ﾟ∀ﾟ) I guess that's the privellage of being her wife. o(≧∇≦)o On Facebook anyway....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Momoyo also left her mixer here, so i think i'll end up making some green tea cupcakes during the weekend! (o^-')b
There's a Lolita meetup this Saturday...and i think i'm going. This will probably be the last time i'm gonna dress Lolita. I realized that i've been losing interest in Lolita fashion. It's already been 6 years. More than 6 years actually, since i got into this fashion when i was 15. I've just lost the passion for it. I don't mind looking at the clothes, but i don't want to wear it anymore. I don't think i'll ever stop wearing slightly punky clothes like my creepers, the h.Naoto skirt or the girlier stuff from Putumayo, but i think i've really outgrown Lolita. Hanging out a lot with Momoyo has made me change my taste in clothes as well. Eversince last year i've started getting clothes with more subdued colours, and less...派手. And of course, i've really gotten into really girly clothes like Liz Lisa and Cecil McBee as well...so....^^;;
I think i want to sell off some of my Lolita clothes. I'll be keeping the black and white Baby imitation, since that was tailor-made to fit me anyway, and besides, i still like that dress a lot. And i'll prolly keep the Bodyline skirt with the red roses, but i want to sell all the others, even my Sexpot black and white wollen jacket.
Anyone from Adelaide interested?

I was reading one of the short stories in the Clover no Alice artbook, and...it's just so funny! o(≧∇≦)o I was reading the one abt Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. Blood sent Alice out to get tea leaves, and the twins insisted on coming along...but then they ended up getting bored and jealous coz Alice was taking a long time picking out the tea leaves! I got SOOOOO doki doki reading this part!
And oh yes....AT THAT MOMENT!
Peter flew into the shop like a tornado (that was a literal translation!! o(≧∇≦)o) and started going all 'ALICE!!!!! ALICE ALICE MY BELOVED ALICE!!!! YOU CAME TO SEE ME, RIGHT???ヽ(´▽`)ノ' while everyone was like...o_O I totally had his voice in my head as i was reading it. o(≧∇≦)o Especially when he says at the last sentence "I heard you were here so i flew all the way here, my beloved Alice! Hohoho, My information network is flawless! There's no way i would miss anything concerning you!" He's such a freaking stalker rabbit! o(≧∇≦)o I want to play Clover sooooo badly!!
Anyway i finally gave in and started playing Gyakuten Kenji. ^^;; It's not bad actually. And it seems that it's not gonna be like Phoenix Wright, where all the cases were mostly stand-alone stories. The cases are gonna be linked i think, at least, from what i've been playing so far. I only finished the 1st case, so there were a lot of holes. In Phoenix Wright they always wrap up the cases nicely at the end, giving all the explanations and all, well...most of the time anyway. As i just finished the 1st case there was a pretty huge hole to the motive and stuff...so....i think...i will spend the whole day on this game....^^;; It's addictive also, the fact that i've loved Edgeworth since the 1st Phoenix Wright game helps a lot. I like the Logic system, though it's sometimes kinda weird....but then, since Edgeworth doesn't have any magical stuff to help him, he has to rely on his intellectual powers i guess....o(≧∇≦)o It's also fun to finally use a non-underdog character, makes it all the more amusing when Edgeworth makes mistakes....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)...coz he's all haughty and stuff..... But, I'm still not sure how i feel abt the investigation part...coz you actually walk around, as opposed to the previous games..and i kinda miss going to court as well...(´・ω・`)
Also, Makoto Yuki annoys me a lot....-_-lll
Anyway, my mom called me up yesterday and asked if i wanted to go back to Malaysia for the holidays. I initially said no, coz the airfare wasn't cheap. But she was like...you're gonna be spending money over there as well, might as well spend Malaysian money here...and it got me thinking.....-_-lll Now i really want to go back....BUT! Yuri is FINALLY coming to Adelaide from the 5th to the 11th! And she needs a place to stay...so....i think...i might not go back afterall...i'm not sure anymore...but...i want to see Kenny! (;´Д｀;) And my family...and CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!!! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Cheap Asian clothes!!!!!!!!!! And i'm worried coz i'm doing prac teaching next sem, so...might be a good idea to stick around during O-Week...-_-lll In any case, i can only go back for 2 weeks (yeah...i kinda forgot to mention the fact that Yuri's coming over to Adelaide...orz Crap!)! Aaaaarggh! I don't know! Should i go back?!!!? orz

[music| Plastic Tree - Tetris]
Had dinner with James, then we went to watch Angels and Demons yesterday. It was awesome! o(≧∇≦)o I really really liked it! It was definitely better than Da Vinci Code. I just like how fast paced everything is! And the twist was just brilliant!
( Spoilers! )
Watching the movie made me miss Italy so much! I LOVE Italy! i was watching the film and going "I'VE BEEN THERE!!! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)" whenever they went to certain cathedrals. I want to go to Italy again in the future. It's just such a beautiful country. Despite not being a Catholic, i just love the cathedrals there. (*´∀｀*) The marble statues and carvings were especially lovely!
Anyway, after the movie went to James' house and played Soul Caliber 4 on his brother's and his Xbox. It was awesome. James got really annoyed coz he kept losing to me....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) It was really funny to watch. But yeah, i haven't played that game in ages, it was just soooo good! It's just so nice to play some totally mindless game and get all excited and loud abt. ヽ(´▽`)ノ Laurence joined us after a while and....both of them, especially James, were throwing Malteasers at me coz i kept winning...-_-lll In the end, we ended up playing the Tower of Souls campaign thing, where we fought OTHER ppl instead....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Finally got back at like 3.30. Was soooo tired at the end....but i ended up playing the Sims 3 for a while...
....yes i got the Sims 3....^^;; I'm still not getting used to the game...orz I hate the character creation, where all my Sims end up having fat faces despite being skinny string beans...-_-lll Especially since i'm used to creating Sims with sharp, pixie-like features....-_-lll And the game lags a lot....I don't get it, ppl who have less ram than me gets it running perfectly, don't know why mine is so bad. The speeds in the game itself are also like..super slow..orz But oh well, to be fair i've only started playing for an hour...maybe i need some more time to get used to it...
Okay, i apparently, i thought i ordered Clover no Kuni no Alice...but instead, it was the artbook instead...-_-lll I could've hit myself when i realized it yesterday. God! Now i have to wait ANOTHER WEEK!!! I'm definitely selling this book after i finished reading all the stuff inside! But yeah, the be fair the book is lovely though! There are short stories involving Alice and the characters, character profiles, interviews, and even a comic! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) I'm not gonna touch it anymore though coz they talk abt the endings and i still haven't played the game yet.....-_-lll But anyway, i was reading through their profiles, and they each have their own chart abt their personality. I couldn't stop giggling when i saw Elliot's:
Clockwise from the top:
1. How much he likes Blood
2. Loyalty
3. Patience
4. Rabbit-ness
5. Meddlesome-ness
It's just soooo cute! (*´∀｀*) Especially the Blood one. His is the ONLY character where something of their personality goes totally OFF the charts....o(≧∇≦)o
Peter has this ストーカ度 (Stalker-ishness) on his chart, and it was way high as well. It was hilarious! o(≧∇≦)o
I got the Japanese version of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (Gyakuten Kenji) as well....not sure if i should start playing it...-_-lll Or should i wait for a while for the English version to come out.....but then for that i'll have to wait another year...-_-lll I usually skim read a lot in otome games, since most of the time you more or less know what's going on, and they're mostly visual novel type games, but in Phoenix Wright-ish games you always have to be careful you don't miss anything...and thus this will really slow me down if i play the Japanese version....orz Oh well, maybe i'll give it a try after i get bored of Sims 3....

[mood|  sick]
[music| The Kiddie - Plastic Art]
I really think i'm coming down with something. My eyes hurt, my throat's all scratchy and i'm...absolutely dripping. -_-lll I think Momoyo gave me her flu. I'm not at all concerned abt swine flu but i really don't want to get sick, especially since i'm going out on Friday...damnit! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ I skipped today's class coz i really can't be bothered to go, and besides, disrupting the class with my constant sniffing and coughing isn't exactly appealing to anyone else either...-_-lll
Anyway, finished Gowland's route last night....and....the ending was okay i guess....i got really amused when the workers were like 'This is a place for families, please don't pollute their young minds' and Gowland was like 'Shut up or imma cut your pay!!'....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
And since i'm such a fangirl, here're a few quotes i plucked from Clover no Kuni no Alice's website:
Blood
「ふふ、君は嫉妬深い妻のようだ。妬いてくれているのか。」
Elliot
「俺、夕日って好きだな。うまそうじゃねえ？」
「俺はウサギじゃねし、ペットでもねえよ！ペットでもいいけど、断じてウサギじゃねえ！！！」
(He's sooooo adorable!! (*´∀｀*))
Dee
「なんで、区別されなきゃいけないの？一緒じゃないの？」
Dum
「手がべっとり汚れちゃったよ。酷いよ、僕の手を汚すなんて...」
(I nearly spat blood when i saw this....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Honestly, NO ONE should ever say this out of context....-_-lll)
Pierce
「なんで皆して汚すのかなあ。後始末するの、俺なんだよ～？いじめ？いじめられてるの、俺？」
(I couldn't help but go awwwwww...when i saw this! Poor Pierce!)
Nightmare
「...間違っていない。君だよ。私が求婚するとしたら、君だ。」
「夢、悪い夢を見ないように、私が見張っておいてあげよう。さあ...眠りなさい。怖いこと何もない」
(I think i will like Nightmare's character in Clover...(*´∀｀*) )
Can't be bothered translating them. Some will sound..weird in English anyway...but all of Elliot's quotes were so adorable, while Blood's was just possesive scary...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) But yeah, i'll definitely be looking out for these when the game arrives....o(≧∇≦)o Which, speaking of which, will prolly only arrive next week....(;´Д｀;) I checked Paypal, and it said the echeque only cleared last Friday...so....orz Aaaargggh...!!!
I'm watching American Dad too these days. It's hilarious! Malaysia banned both American Dad and Family Guy so i never watched any of it till i came here. Don't really like Family guy coz it's just too stupid and sick, but American Dad, i love it! I do wish the references and parodies were more subtle, but it's still alright. (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Overzealous, overly macho and stupid ppl with strong political views are always funny to laugh at. (o^-')b
I miss watching Simpsons though. Maybe i should go scount around the network and see if anyone has them...
Also, i love my room. The heater's on way up and it's all toasty warm. I want to stay in my room and play Clover forever....in fact, i think i WILL end up doing that when it eventually arrives...(ﾟ∀ﾟ)

My assignment is due on Friday, but....i actually finished it yesterday! o_O Wtf is wrong with me! orz But anyway, it's good! Coz now i can have at least a week break before working on my other essay. ヽ(´ー`)ノ
Anyway, i've been playing Heart no Kuni no Alice again. I finally forced myself to go through Gowland's route...and i'm actually kinda glad i did...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) It's just soooooo funny! I love it! Gowland's route is not the sort that makes me go all doki doki or mero mero (like Elliot!), but it's definitely a hilarious one. (o^-')b I was laughing sooooo much last night. o(≧∇≦)o I was like 'YES!!!!" when Alice finally beat Gowland up for torturing us all with his horrible music! ヽ(´▽`)ノ They always tease Gowland so much abt his age! o(≧∇≦)o There was this scene where Gowland was, as usual, being pissed over Boris. Boris, smiling cheekily, said "I'd look out for my blood pressure if i were you, you're at that age already, aren't you?" o(≧∇≦)o Oh, and also, when the amusement park workers were teasing Gowland abt Alice...
Female Worker: That's right, you're not young anymore so don't work too hard yeah!
Gowland: I'm still young! .....oy! What the hell do you mean by 'don't work too hard'?
(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
There are too many but these but they definitely one of the many that made me burst out laughing. God, i love this game! o(≧∇≦)o
But anyway, i kinda like Gowland's route to be honest, with nearly everyone (even Julius i was so surprised! o_O),being all crazy, twisted and possessive and totally セクハラ (not that i don't like it, it's fun! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)) his is a nice change. I guess his character's kinda like, the kind, understanding ossan who respects Alice....? (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Well, he may not be the most normal of all the characters, but his route, with the way he behaves around Alice, is definitely the most realistic....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Anyway, i'm off to continue Alice. If i can finish Gowland's route by tonight i'll try to get the Bara ending. ヽ(´ー`)ノ I really hope Clover arrives tomorrow! (`・ω・´)

I can't stop eating Walker's butter shortbread. Not very healthy but holy crap it's good! (*´∀｀*) I've always loved butter so...yeah, pure buttery goodness!!! I remember when i was little i would eat bread with a THICK slice of butter on top..so much that my mom would ask me "Are you actually eating bread or eating butter?" and i was like..."Butter!!!" o(≧∇≦)o I thank karma for my skinny genetics and high metabolism rate every night before i go to sleep....8-(o･ω･)o
I also forgot that i bought greek yogurt from the markets on Friday...so now i'm on a yoghurt binge...-_-lll Have to finish it asap, since it's fresh. ^^;; It's just soooo good! I always get apricot, coz it's the best. There would be big chunks of apricots and apricot jam (i think it's jam? some sweet apricot syrup i guess?) in the smooth, creamy, plain yoghurt, it's just sooo awesome! I really love greek yoghurt! (*´∀｀*) Wish they had this in Malaysia too...that's one of the things i miss most when i go back every year...(´・ω・`)
Anyway, was gonna stay home last night, as i wanted to get more work done on my essay. Or at least wake up early the next morning. I have 1000 words down already, but i still need around 3000. orz But then Simon kinda...dragged me off to Red Square. (Go for a bit, yeah right, we were there for more than 5 hours!) -_-lll But i did have fun, and Jason and Vicki and Ino were there too. I was soooo happy coz i haven't seen those 2 in ages, Ino especially. o(≧∇≦)o David and his bunch of friends were there too. Met Hiro, Yuhei and Matthew as well! Honestly, i've said this a million times, but i'll say it again. Adelaide is TOO small! -_-lll But yeah...got home at 5, and then as i was going to get ready to sleep, Simon smsed me and the whole bunch trooped over to my place coz they needed to sober up. Ended up having Hungry Jack's near my house, and they stayed a bit at the Village's common room. I was soooo tired at that point i nearly fell asleep there. Woke up this afternoon at 2. -_-lll Latest time ever...god...suffice to say i didn't manage to get ANY work done at all today...so far anyway...i have to do at least 500 words more tonight. Gonna bring my laptop over to the library tomorrow too so i can get more work done. It's gonna be another LOOOOONG Monday for me...orz
I want to play Clover no Kuni no Alice so badly. -_-lll I was at the QuinRose website for a fair bit of the afternoon randomly clicking on the character voices and relationship chart as i was waiting for my laundry. Honestly, Konishi Katsuyuki's voice is sooooooo sexy! As Blood Dupre anyway....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Pierce is so freaking adorable as well! I want to know what his route is like since in the relationship chart Blood says " Drinking coffee again as usual. You're a useful fellow but for god's sake calm down!"...which is ironic since Pierce is supposed to be the dormouse and he keeps falling asleep in the original Alice in Wonderland story, while Pierce CAN'T sleep in the game...o(≧∇≦)o And i couldnt help but smile when Blood says to Elliot "No one else will ever be a better sidekick than you, Elliot. You're reliable and a good fellow. Now, if only you could get rid of that orange obsession..if only..." I love the relationship those 2 have! o(≧∇≦)o Actually, i love the whole Hatter Estate! Was listening to the drama CD this afternoon and the exchanges between Elliot and the Twins always had me in fits! o(≧∇≦)o
I think i want to replay Blood's route in Heart...will hopefully tide me over till Clover arrives....(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Also, YES!!!!! I'll be watching a movie with James soon! I can't wait! I really really want to watch Angels and Demons! o(≧∇≦)o I didn't plan to at first, coz i thought, i didn't read the book, and it'll probably be a bad movie, but...i saw the trailer and i got hooked. Same goes for Terminator 4. Eventhough it had Christian Bale in it i wasn't too interested to watch it as i honestly hated T3, but....trailer. Very dangerous things, trailers...-_-lll But yeah, i can't decide which i want to watch....i heard T4 got really bad reviews though...on the other hand, Angels and Demons didn't fare that well either...hmmm..... p/s: I'm SOOOO psyched right now coz i just realized that Gray's seiyuu in Clover is Shiba Katsumi's seiyuu in Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Kiss! o(≧∇≦)o

Me and Wing were debating back and forth abt Shou's height and she ended up making me go to PSC's website to check out his official height. They didn't have Shou's height in Alice Nine's OHP, BUT! I did find out abt this band called Vivid on PSC's OHP. My immediate thought was "Oh great, PSC is picking up another crappy indies band", but i did get intruigued, and i clicked on that band's OHP....and immediately went, "Where have i seen the vocals before?!", so i decided to try out some of the samples there and....i've definitely heard this voice before...then realized...OMG IT'S THE VOCALS FROM AKIHABARA SHOUNENDAN DENNOU ROMEO!!!!!!!!! o(≧∇≦)o I was quite sad when they broke up in 2007 coz i really liked the band and Shin's voice (plus he was uber cute...(*´∀｀*)), but now....hahaha i'm SOOOO glad he's in a new band! Let's hope his new band will be as good as Dennou Romeo. But i'm kinda dubious, coz to be honest, the current Indie PSC bands really suck...-_-lll Not very fond of the way the members of Vivid dress either. They all look like they're from different bands (and holy crap the colours...) -_-lll...but in any case, finger's crossed yeah? (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
p/s: Keiyuu lists his height as 1560mm...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) I don't believe that for a minute (definitely below that), but i thought that was pretty cute...o(≧∇≦)o

I'm supposed to be...kinda working on my assignment due next Friday. Already have most of the information i need, and since i don't really need references, i can basically start writing but....god i'm sooooo unmotivated right now.....orz Stayed at the library till 9.30 yesterday...and...i don't think i ever want to do it again...-_-lll I got loads done but still...bleh...orz And i just found out my assignment for my other course is due on...the 27th of JULY...MORE THAN A MONTH LATER OMG PROCRASTINATION HEAVEN HELL! orz
The funny thing is i've actually done more for that assignment than the one due soon...-_-lll God i hate Language and Meaning soooo much!
Anyway, i actually ordered Clover no Kuni no Alice! (ﾟ∀ﾟ) It was really pricey, over 50 USD, but...i know it's a good game therefore will be worth it so...^^;; I really did enjoy Heart no Kuni no Alice so....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Speaking of which, i've finished everyone's route except Mary Gowland and Vivaldi...and i don't think i'll go through the routes of those 2 anyway. Vivaldi, maybe someday when i'm really bored. Mary...no..no...NEVER EVER EVER...-_-lll Horrible violin makes me insane! But yeah, I really can't wait to get Clover! Will prolly arrive in less than a week's time....-_-lll Meaning i won't get much work done....god...orz
Also, i'm listening to Kra a lot these days. Although i've always liked them, i tend to only listen to them when they're on shuffle, or when they have a new album/single out. But yeah, i've been putting my iTunes on either Kra's playlist or Rentrer en Soi a lot recently. I really like Kra. Their music is very...fun to listen to. ヽ(´ー`)ノ It's just very cheerful and メルヘン (I don't know the exact English term for it but....fairy-tale-ish? (ﾟ∀ﾟ)). Not exactly dreamy, but...just....fun to listen to...^^;; Especially since Keiyuu is so tiny...it's just so cute. (*´∀｀*) What's he like, 156 cm? o(≧∇≦)o His voice is kinda weak, but not weak as in bad, it's like..he's so tiny so he doesn't get enough breath....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) I think my favourite has got to be Amaoto wa Chopin no Shirabe. Listening to it just makes me think of rainy days, but the good sort. The sort where the rain is falling gently outside, and you're all warm and snug in your room with a mug of hot chocolate or milk tea. (o^-')b Yasuno still freaks me out though, even though he has blonde hair now he will stil always be known as the pink-haired freak to me..-_-lll
Also, the Marry PV is soooooo freaking adorable! I really really REALLY cannot get over how cute Keiyuu is! He's just so freaking tiny! o(≧∇≦)o I just want to squish him when he gives that smile and bow!
Haha! I also remember this freaky dream i had of Kra WAAAAY back in 2004....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Good times...good times...man i feel old..-_-lll
Oh, also, 2 pictures of the best hot chocolate EVER!
The cream on top...heavenly!
And this is what you get after spooning the cream off (preferably into your mouth!). Delightfully thick chocolate! You literally EAT it! (*´∀｀*)

Some interesting graffiti i found near Times Square a few months ago.
Note what the words on top say! This pic was snapped a day after Valentine's Day...(ﾟ∀ﾟ) I thought the whole thing was pretty cool. Graffiti on graffiti, i wonder if it's done on purpose or the ppl just decided to paint over an existing graffiti. I was in the car though so i couldn't get the whole thing...^^;;
I'm crawling through Andromeda Strain now. It's totally different from the book...and to be honest it's kinda boring. I guess i wouldn't even be watching if it wasn't kinda based on Michael Crichton's book, or if it didn't have Christa Miller in it, though everytime she talks i can only think of her being Jordan...-_-lll I'll watch 5 minutes, then go off and do something else, then 5 minutes again, and something else..at this rate i'll never finish it...orz
I did finish American Psycho though...not sure how i feel abt it though...^^;;
Anyway, was searching for Rentrer en Soi's lyrics online, or more specifically, i was looking for the lyrics to Taikyou Naru Yousui Yuugi, coz the title itself already seems interesting enough, (come on, 胎教なる羊水遊戯! How can that not intruigue you?) (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Satsuki sings really softly at the beginning so i can't hear them too well. Managed to find the original kanji lyrics and well....some people apparently have too much time on their hands. -_-lll I got on this Japanese blog and this girl was...analyzing the lyrics. Like, seriously, she went verse by verse and listed down what she thinks they mean...-_-lll And since Rentrer en Soi is a VK band, their lyrics are, while somewhat cool, also pretty generic and they use all sorts of obscure kanji and stuff to make it seem 'deep'. Having fans analyze it just seems...kinda extreme for me...-_-lll Here's part of the first verse (the kanji for one is the ones used in olden days/formal documents...see? -_-lll)
・懺悔ノ壱 母胎機能正常未確認
母親の体調の善し悪しに関係無く、生まれてきてしまう事への懺悔。
I guess this is pretty straight forward, but this one...
・―いつかきっと月に還れるように
ここで一変、“ワタシ”は「月に還りたい＝死にたい」と感じています。
これから生まれ自由を希望しているとしたら、大きな矛盾になります。
それか“ワタシ”は「月に還る≠死ぬ」だと考えていて、
そもそも希望に溢れているからこそ「死ぬ」という事を知らないのかもしれません。
もう一つは「生きている事＝罪」という観念から
「生まれてしまった」という過ちを「死」によって正そうと考えており、
「死」は「生まれた事」によって起きるものだから
生まれてただただ死を待とう、という事なのかもしれません。
前者は純真による矛盾、後者は連鎖による皮肉という感じでしょうか。
When i read this i was like....okaaaaay....o_O How can people make so many assumptions with just ONE verse that simply says 'Someday i will surely return to the moon"...-_-lll How the heck did she come up with something like "Wanting to return to the moon = Wanting to die", and "Another view is that being born is a sin, that's why by dying this mistake of being born can be corrected, as dying is something that's brought about by living, and thus being born is merely waiting for death". o_O The rest can be found here.
....yeaaah....i love the song, i do, but still..call me un-poetic, but come on...-_-lll Do Western fans do this as well? o_O Analyzing lyrics to this extent?
Actually, i realize it IS a lot like literature, coz you try to make as many assumptions as you can while writing literature essays too....hmmm... (ﾟ∀ﾟ) Man, i miss English classes....
I also miss Kenny.

I think i had a slice of heaven today....(*´∀｀*) Me and Momoyo had lunch, then we went to Cibo, and we both got this hot chocolate drink called Ciocolatta Italiana, which we've never had before...and.....HOLY CRAP IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! (*´∀｀*) It was was like drinking thick, milky, hot melted chocolate, with a huge dollop of whipped cream on top. It wasn't too rich or sweet either! Absolutely fabulous! (*´∀｀*) Definitely gonna order this again next time!
I'll also see if i can take pics of it next time! (o^-')b
Gonna be at the library tomorrow, but! I'll be meeting up with Wing in the afternoon and we're gonna go for bubbletea and steamed buns at Thea as well! Can't wait!

I think i'm coming down with something. -_-lll My head hurts, and my eyeballs are kinda sore as well. Everyone around me was sick and i thought i managed to evade all that...oh well...i guess it's my turn now...-_-lll
Anyway, been cooped up in my room these days a lot just watching movies and series. Finished the 3 Indiana Jones films, and also Season 6 of Scrubs. Am now starting Season 2 of Dexter and Season 7 of Scrubs. Yeah, i have no life, i know. (ﾟ∀ﾟ) But thanks to the wonderful student network, i'm not using my internet quota much so i have a lot of them to spare atm...(o^-')b
Was gonna do more work after dinner, but i didn't feel like it coz i already spent quite a while at the library today (Finished the thing i'm meant to do for tomorrow's class...only now i don't think i'll go...-_-lll). So ended up on Youtube watching Bill Bailey's Tinselworm. It was brilliant! o(≧∇≦)o He's just soooo totally random. I can't decide whether i like Part Troll or this more, they're both equally awesome. (*´∀｀*)
I also ended up watching Oh! Mikey too. They took down a lot of the videos last time, but i managed to find a whole bunch of videos! Someone reuploaded them again! ヽ(´▽`)ノ I love the whole series so much! It's just so totally random, surreal and crazy. My housemates prolly think i'm crazy again coz i was laughing out loud a lot. ^^;; Honestly, only Japan will come up with something as crazy as this...and actually make it work....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Was watching this clip. There're 2 episodes in the video. Lol...Mainosuke....and vampire Mikey....*dies* I think i'm gonna end up spending the whole night watching all the vids...instead of going to bed like i'm supposed to right now...^^;;
Also, i'm beginning to develope quite an addiction to the Coffee Club's scones. Me and Momoyo go there every Monday afternoon now after lunch just to have them. We actually had them last Wednesday as well....(ﾟ∀ﾟ) Momoyo's addiction is just as strong as mine...she dragged me there that day. -_-lll It's just soooo good, and they're not expensive either. They ran out of plain scones today so we had the ones with fruit. It was quite nice too, but i think i still like the plain ones more...^^;; Warm, soft, fluffy scones with strawberry jam and a huge dollop of whipped cream.....BLISS!!! (*´∀｀*)
