YAY I AM BLOGGING AGAIN
how did you guys miss me
anyway. I have been watching some random China drama (apparently their Chinese standard is better than other- rather expected, though) and it's about the era when there were dynasties and I think it was 清朝 with 雍正皇帝 or something :D And it's quite funny, amusing when they quarrel. But the way they fight- it's just BURN BWAHAHAHA because they're really good at secretly hurting people, hinting things and beating around the bush and stuff. And there was this one scene: XD
松公公:奴才最该万死!
皇帝:不必了,你这种人死一回便足够了。
And the concubines actually have ranks and whatnot! And they always say things like, "这是自然的" and "都怪 臣妾/奴婢 嘴笨" and also "失宠了". It's quite funny I think I can reply to people aptly with these lines.
Friends: Why am I always the one chosen D:
Me: 这是自然的。
Friends: You shouldn't have said that!
Me: 都怪奴婢嘴笨。
Friends: I'm so bored. My friend just abandoned me.
Me: 失宠了,失宠了。
Friends: Would you like coffee?
Me: 那是自然的。
Friends: What are you doing- what?
Me: 这是自然的。
Friends: Why don't you ever go out?
Me: 这是自然的。
Friends: Oh, you don't say.
Me: 这是自然的。
Friends: Why do you have a- potato on your table-
Me: 这是自然的。
Mom: Go do your homework.
Me: 如今,我竟然落到了这个下场,失宠了。失宠了。
Wait, what? Anyway, that was just to prove my point that you can practically answer every single question with "这是自然的。" No matter how weird it sounds.
...
This is when you stretch your arms across walls and continents and pat my back before unplugging my computer. And then you will whisper, "it's time to stop posting."

photo spam
hahahahah LOON LOOK I HAVE MY PHOTOSHOP ASSIGNMENT TOO OH YAY IT IS HORRIBLY DONE BUT LOOK DO I CARE.
So yeah. Most of it was all about ES but then I gave up because.
Well. I don't really know but that part about stars.
the stars say I have to draw today and so I did.
I drew something out of proportion and I hope no one noticed it.
Oh who am I kidding.
The second picture probably sounds wrong but anyway.
It was when we were highing together sometime ago...
I think.
She murmurs a short chant, trying to warm his tensed, stiff and cold body.
"I'll let you be Sherlock next time. I'll let you be Sherlock-"
-bang-
and the world collapsed, in front of her eyes as scarlet coloured his face and head and every-
"I'll let you be Sherlock- please."
She looks into the eyes of his murderer, only to hear-
"It had to be done."
"NO- YOU DON'T-HE WASN'T GOING TO CHANGE- HE WAS ALL FINE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS- I- I wanted to let him be Sherlock for once-"
and she falls, down into this bottomless pit of memories and every single word she utters when he begs to be Sherlock.
'Now's not the time. I've got work-'
'Everything's fine, you know. There're no mysteries-'
'You know you're not- not as observant as Sherlock Holmes.'
'He's not real.'
'You've got work to do.'
'Not now, NOT NOW!'
"M-mom, can I be Sherl-Sherlock- now." she thinks she hears this from his cracked lips and she can only nod, cradling her fallen angel in her arms.
"Yes-yes-Sherlock. I'll let you be Sherlock-"

I'm fine--really. I'm okay. I'm just--yeah.
I'm fine, really. Sorry for scaring everyone during CCA.
I just don't take well whenever it rains. I suspect it's the rain, you know. Every time it rains, I get extreme, like bi-polar. That's not the reason, though. I know it's not the rain.
Yeah. I'm just a little bi-polar. It goes way more than that.
I'm sorry, really, if I've made all of you worried. I'm not angry at you. You guys are too nice to be angry at. I'm angry at myself.
You know, the story challenge really takes its toll on me and every time after it, I get tired. Like, emotionally tired. I hate it, you know. But it's not the only thing adding to my emotional numbness.
I'm alright--I'm really fine. Seriously! You don't have to worry, even though the hugs were really nice. I'm okay. I'm just--I think it's just the weather. I'm scared that I'll go back to slight depression again. I don't want to.
The batch tee is just--can we wait till after EOY? Because--like Eilun/someone else says, we can't really do much and I think it's better to like, study for EOY first-- to concentrate on it first. I don't need a second source of frustration, anyway.
So there. It's alright, kay :) thanks for all your concern. I didn't want to bother you. I'll try to keep my emotions in check next time.

updates! :D
Correction. We're going to have a new exhibition.
In October.
:D
that sounds mightily fun, doesn't it?
I think the whole reading group (or what's left of it anyway) is really excited!
-well, I think we are!-
Let's make it pretty! Prettier than our previous one! :D
Yay!
I shall go read up on materials.
HCNY bookclub T4Wk1.

YAY I AM SUGAR HIGH
Decided to do stretching in the middle of the night.
I FEEL SO AWESOME NOW.
All those people I have thought of as normal...
well, let's just say most of them were insane to begin with.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE NORMAL!"
Of course, I have a sane and matured side too.
It just... it just never comes out.
We're marchin' on!
Our first--well, it's not actually official--CCA session without the sec 4s.
WE NEEDED THEIR HELP.
Okay, maybe not.
But as we removed the exhibition, it felt like...
it felt as though the sec4 seniors should have been there too. Like, witnessing the 'birth' and 'death' of their last exhibition... It was rather sad. I mean, that was our nicest exhibition yet D:
And they removed it D:
IT WAS AWESOME. IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER.
I SHALL TYPE IN CAPS BECAUSE I LIKE THE WAY THE WORDS LOOK! :D
BUT ANYWAY.
TOMORROW'S THE FUNFAIR, I SHOULD BE SLEEPING, BUT I'M... WELL, GOING TO SCHOOL LATER THAN USUAL.
WHEEEEE. IT'S ANOTHER RED-AND-WHITE BE YOURSELF DAY.
HOW FUN~! :D
WE'RE GOING TO SELL CHEESE FRIES AND HOT DOGS.
I THINK I'LL STICK TO THE ES CCA BOOTH BECAUSE I AM 无家可归 XD
BELOW: NYES SPRING AND WINTER VERSION. I DON'T DARE TO POST IT ON FACEBOOK.
WINTER IS, ADMITTEDLY NICER. BUT STILL...
WHAT ABOUT AUTUMN AND SUMMER? I'M KINDA STUCK.
LIKE, HOW DO I EVEN DRAW THE FRIGGIN AUTUMN LEAF?
I THINK I'LL NEED TO USE PHOTOSHOP INSTEAD OF MURO FOR THIS.
SUMMER...
OH YES I HAVE AN IDEA
WHEEEEEEEEE~
LET'S HOPE IT WILL WORK.
THEN AUTUMN FOR THE LASTTTTTT~
YAYYAY
WISH ME LUCK.
...
NO, DON'T.
YOU'D BE WASTING IT.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
OKAY I SHALL EMBARK ON A JOURNEY TO DESIGN ANOTHER ONE.
SUMMER. IN PROGRESS.
*Edit: NYES--Summer is the only one (yet) to require a shitty blueprint. =.=

We're just a condensed version of the Mad Hatter, sarcasm in its entire beauty and cracked-up lines of humour.
Sarcasm.
Noun: The use of irony to mock people or convey contempt
People are hypocritical. Yes, please do get that into your mind before we proceed any further.
Hypocritical.
a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles
We all have that time, when we get an A for a test and someone else fails it. And when we do compare marks, don't we all go,
"Oh... Uh, I didn't do as well, I mean, you'll be able to do it better next time?"
When deep in our hearts, we are secretly happy that we managed to top the class and prove ourselves to be smarter than most.
People are hypocritical.
Why?
Because we are humans. Humans have emotions. (check.) Humans do crave for companionship. (check) Humans are easily--quite easily-- pressured, or conditioned to a certain type of behaviour. (check)
And that is why, because we crave so much for companionship and because society dictates us to score well and be the 'best' of everything (most importantly, exams), we turn so complex. We think that scoring well in examinations is a good thing and it will earn respect, which may lead to appreciation and ultimately, companionship.
But society, is after all, made up of humans. This is an interesting observation.
Much like prejudice--people crave companionship. It's all like a domino effect. Someone (A) hates a peculiar behaviour of a person. A spreads it to B, and because B wants A as a friend, B goes all, "YEAH" and they corrupt more minds of people (twenty-six letters in the alphabet, all waiting to crumble).
So there.
It's rather funny, so... intriguing that humans are the core of this entire complex and frustrating society. That humans love to do these silly things. That we actually--I'm not even sure--have a brain, like one that functions properly and generates ideas, generates all kinds of...
I'm pretty amazed by the human brain, sorry.
So there, I'm sure we're all hypocrites. Nothing to be ashamed of. 7 billion plus minus people are out there with you, dear :D
Yours,
a hypocrite.

Well, hello sir we look for Monday.
I kinda want a blogskin, but it's too much of a trouble. So here, I changed the template and it looks rather neat and pretty to me :D
Dreaming out loud, dreaming out loud.
-forever hidden under the abstractions of the rubik's cube-
I'm the king of the world.
-counting golden promises that melt away under my shaky, timid laughter-
Storm tries to come and wreck my words.
-I just need a lightning (splinters of a lava lamp)-
Well, hello sir, we look for Monday.
-my favourite lines always have to end with a slight twist to it.-
This is why I'm a Onerepublic fan and not a Direction((less?)) fan.
I love love love love love this band :D
Project Steampunk on the way!
Well, hello sir, we sleep on Monday.
-indeed, I'm not looking forward to LA SIA story telling. BT2 was just over...-

I'm a huge idiot.
I'm just grinning, still grinning. And it's really weird. :D
In my parent's room, where Dad is still snoring away and I has managed to complete the Japanese homework.
This is awesome. It's the truth--those words are still pounding in my head.
EILUN AND JERNANA ARE AWAKE.
AWAKE.
CRAZY PEOPLE.
LIKE ME.
CRAZY PEOPLE LIKE ME AWAKE.
This is bliss.
I don't know why, but I just feel so awesome. And so idiotic at the same time.
I miss all of you too :D
It's 2 in the morning, last day of hols. Sad, sad, sad. But there'll be school. And CCA.
CCA is my second family. Even school can't beat that. Even though I keep complaining about CCA, there's a part of me that'll forever think, "Hell yeah, we're awepic. We're unique, a crazy bunch of weirdos who fit together."
Even though sometimes CCA is tough and all that crap or bullshit, it's still so fun and happy. Despite all the people that make me go haywire inside and there's loads of chunks of wtf messages around my brain (we should research it one day), they make me feel complete, like I have the right to be crazy.
I'm listening to Onerepublic's "Come Home" and it makes me want to cry. Remembering all the times in P6, all those secret moments of fangirling and pretending to be someone else. I think I carried on the calm facade just because it was who I was in school.
So, come home, come home, come home.
I want to go home. I miss CCA. But I remind myself that I'm already home, in my heart.
I'm home.
NYES. I love you. :D

Crazy ES batch of 2012. :D
I love you all so much. I really do.
Even I don't feel this much for my class (TRAITOR!!!!).
Maybe I'm just dreaming out loud.
Until then.
Come home.
Come home.

"I SAY THAT CHEESE BURGERS SHOULD COST MORE THAN GOLD!" -facepalm-
I was buying cheese burgers and was walking past a jewellery shop. Then I thought about someone robbing me of money (y'know, the standard "money or your life" gag) and I hugged the cheese burger tighter. Then it came to me...
Me: I think cheese burgers should cost more than gold. Why do people even want to buy gold anyway? It's useless. It just sits around there--not fluffy or cute--and sparkles. While the cheese burger can sustain life, the gold just sits there doing nothing. Why do people think that gold should cost a lot?
Sis: Well, people like gold. And besides, it's a rare metal that needs to be dug up from the ground.
Me: But it doesn't do anything! And it's pretty much useless. Why do people even bother digging them up? Shouldn't cheese burger be of a higher value? Why are they so cheap? I'm not complaining, of course, just... isn't it weird?
Sis: Well, if you put it that way, most humans are weird. Perhaps it's because it's very rare and pretty, can be used for decorative purposes? Besides, people have already set the standards. Gold is worth a lot of money, even if it just sits there and do nothing.
Me: ... Still, if we're actually talking about decorative art or something like that, a few twigs and leaves can do the trick, right? Why do they want something that... that...is completely useless? The cheese burger can sustain human lives!
Sis: Still, gold is bright coloured and it's prettier. Look at carvings on gold--don't they look exquisite and intricate? Whereas twigs are of a darker shade of brown, hence it's much more difficult to spot the patterns--if you ever did carve into them. That's why gold is much more favoured.
Me: ... But gold is useless. And it causes war and trouble. It causes greed. Whereas the cheese burger makes people happy!
Sis: But after you eat it, it's gone, isn't it? Look at a cheese burger and gold. The cheese burger will rot soon, while the gold can last a long time.
Me: Then, talking in rarity, the cheese burger wins!
Sis : ... -facepalm-
Aaaaand, the winner is...
CHEESE BURGER!
TEAM CHEESE BURGER, WHOO! :D
... we ate it anyway.

"So, I don't literally--well, it doesn't make sense but--get anything but the fact that people are judging me. It's like, all the time--" "Aren't you judging them, too?"
Was having a chat with wise old dad.
Me: So, um, there was this 'Character Development' module or something like that and, um, well. They just asked this question about what I thought about this line, "Character is what you are in the dark."
So I said that, "It means that in the darkest of times, in the face of adversity--it sounds weird but--what you truly are." and the teacher was staring at me strangely then she said, "Uh, interesting thinking, you have there."
Dad: Hm. Then there's something wrong with your interpretation of things.
Me: Nonononononononono. I--just I don't--it's not wrong. It's up to interpretation of matters, so there's practically nothing wrong with my statement. She was like staring at me weirdly and then she asked another student. It was like, she was trying to get a correct answer! Then the student said, "I think it means character is what you are when no one's watching."
So I don't quite get it when the teacher said, "Yes, that would be it." Like it was a model answer. That question was practically up to interpretation and--it might be a strange way of expressing herself but-- it's not like, Math, where everything is definite. And when she said, "that would be it.", it felt as though everything has a correct answer--
Dad shakes his head.
Dad: I think you don't really have much exposure in this area.
Me: But I've actually had lots of talks like this and on instinct, I just answered it. I've gone through lots of lessons when they say that "Character is what you are when no one's watching" and yet I just answered it in this way. That's strange. And it's like, they expect you to think that way, so she was shocked when she heard my different answer. Isn't that so... condemning? Like, they're teaching moral educations with a standard model answer--that doesn't sound right. Uh... it's like, they want to structure our brains in this way that...we'll think the same answer?
Dad: I think it's because you haven't got enough depth in this area, like you're still amateur at trying to--
Me: There is no difference in level of interpretation. Like... umm, if... well... if someone says, "The curtains were blue" and another person--supposedly of higher intellect-- says, "The blue curtains represented the writer's angst" and all that stuff, I suppose people would say that he's better at interpretation, isn't it? But maybe the writer just meant that the curtains were friggin blue. In fact, interpretation is up to everyone of us. It depends on what we relate to.
But the thing is. I think the teacher was judging me. It's like, a random strange student just says something out of the norm and then--
Dad: But aren't you judging her?
Me: ... nonononononononono. I'm just--
Dad: Look, it just depends on everyone's background and cultural preference. What are you trying to say? That you disagree with the statement "Character is what you are when no one's watching"?
Me:... Hm. Not exactly. But I don't really get how that can happen. I mean, like, in the dark, we can still all see, right? It's not like pitch black dark.
Dad: That was not literal.
Me: Oh. But anyway, there's still a pair of eyes watching you! I mean, it can't be--
Dad: See, so you believe in the existence of a God that's watching you.
Me: That's not what I meant. I meant that you'd still be watching yourself, out of fear of the possibility of someone still watching you. It's like, you're watching yourself.
Dad: But for that moment, you'd still be yourself, won't you?
Me: Butbutbut. Look, you'd be yourself for just a moment, then you'd turn back to your... fake self and it gets kinda confusing like who is your real self? And then it--
Dad: That's only for someone as confusing as you.
Me: Not true! Sometimes you get so caught up in being fake that you'd... you'd--I don't know--forget yourself? And in the other case, in the case of adversity, you'd choose, won't you? Like Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew--the main focus is on Peter, of course. He chose to help Voldy and--
Dad: Who are they?
Me:... Uhh, some people. So anyway, the words "Character is what you are" were in black and the background was white while the words "in the dark" were white in black background and that kinda led to me thinking that it was a candle in the dark. Kinda like hope or faith, right?
Wait, what am I talking about? But anyway, I still don't quite get how people instinctively react to this... statement as nobody seeing you. I mean, in the dark, no one is watching you, but can't they be hearing?
Dad: It's not literal.
Me: Butbutbut. Aargh, so I don't get why my interpretation is wrong.
Dad: I never said your interpretation was wrong.
Me: You said there was something wrong with my interpretation of things.
Dad: I wanted to say that it all depended on your cultural background and what your values are and all that.
Me: ...
Dad: Eh, drink your soyabean. We're leaving.
My dad is awesome. :D
he keeps reminding me how stupid I am TAT
Jerry and I are getting married. Now, where to find cabbages... jk,jk :D

Dad: Look, it just depends on everyone's background and cultural preference. What are you trying to say? That you disagree with the statement "Character is what you are when no one's watching"?
Me:... Hm. Not exactly. But I don't really get how that can happen. I mean, like, in the dark, we can still all see, right? It's not like pitch black dark.
Dad: That was not literal.
Me: Oh. But anyway, there's still a pair of eyes watching you! I mean, it can't be--
Dad: See, so you believe in the existence of a God that's watching you.
Me: That's not what I meant. I meant that you'd still be watching yourself, out of fear of the possibility of someone still watching you. It's like, you're watching yourself.
Dad: But for that moment, you'd still be yourself, won't you?
Me: Butbutbut. Look, you'd be yourself for just a moment, then you'd turn back to your... fake self and it gets kinda confusing like who is your real self? And then it--
Dad: That's only for someone as confusing as you.
Me: Not true! Sometimes you get so caught up in being fake that you'd... you'd--I don't know--forget yourself? And in the other case, in the case of adversity, you'd choose, won't you? Like Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew--the main focus is on Peter, of course. He chose to help Voldy and--
Dad: Who are they?
Me:... Uhh, some people. So anyway, the words "Character is what you are" were in black and the background was white while the words "in the dark" were white in black background and that kinda led to me thinking that it was a candle in the dark. Kinda like hope or faith, right?
Wait, what am I talking about? But anyway, I still don't quite get how people instinctively react to this... statement as nobody seeing you. I mean, in the dark, no one is watching you, but can't they be hearing?
Dad: It's not literal.
Me: Butbutbut. Aargh, so I don't get why my interpretation is wrong.
Dad: I never said your interpretation was wrong.
Me: You said there was something wrong with my interpretation of things.
Dad: I wanted to say that it all depended on your cultural background and what your values are and all that.
Me: ...
Dad: Eh, drink your soyabean. We're leaving.
My dad is awesome. :D
he keeps reminding me how stupid I am TAT
Jerry and I are getting married. Now, where to find cabbages... jk,jk :D
Sunday, 17 June 2012
You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.
I has been attacked by the fanvirus as well.
The Harry Potter fanvirus has gotten to me.
Gyahhhhhhh. I just felt so... sad while scrolling through those tumblr Harry Potter quotes.
I feel really resentful that Twilight got ''Movie of the year" instead of Harry Potter. It's the last movie already (Deathly Hallows), so why give it to Twilight? I mean, Harry Potter was an awesome series, something magical and so beautiful--EPIC.
I'm not a fan of Twilight. The books make me laugh, though. I would say that in terms of books, I would prefer Harry Potter but Twilight--the overall plot idea is rather... refreshing...?--is not that terrible. Twilight (book version) seems to be more of a whine/rant. I think it's one of its weaknesses, written in a first-person format that perhaps the author kinda slipped away? Also, Twilight is kinda draggy. I mean, example:
1. They arrive at a conclusion (like... Bella's being chased by some vampire)
20 or more pages later...
2. They're still describing Bella's fear of being chased.
Okay, so in that 20 pages or so, there's probably going to be some flowery details about her fear (heart pumping--basically, the works). Or maybe they used up 18 pages of that 20 to write about Edward's perfection?
((I have to confess--the idea of a sparkly vampire turns me off))
Whereas, Harry Potter may be a little mundane, but it's really got this grip on you. I think it rather describes characters who we can relate to and the English is rather good. It doesn't have a lot of description (of, for example, the patronus looking so sparkly and silver and all that) but it leaves it to your imagination. :D
The books are away from me now, so I may not be as accurate. :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The movies:
Harry Potter
I didn't really feel the 'magical' part in the first movie. But watching the first part of Deathly Hallows made me go eye-wide and cry. I--kinda--cried because it was so awesome (I cried during Madagascar 3 because the effects were just so epic and it was so inspirational, the music...). I wanted to watch the second part because it seemed like the end of everything and I wanted to just follow Harry's journey.
Despite the overall positive review about the movie series, I thought that in the first part of the Deathly Hallows, they lengthened parts that were supposed to be short and vice-versa. Dobby's death didn't really seem to... it was just like a flash, then gone.
But I have to give a thumbs up for this one scene of Harry and Hermione dancing in the tent when Ron left (I do not ship Harmione--or whatever it's called). Because it brought out the bitterness of children being forced to fight and grow up in such a horrible reality. Think about it. Harry has got almost no childhood--his parents died, he's facing Lord Voldy all the time... And at that time, they're simply dancing, enjoying themselves as children once again. Then the music stops, the spell breaks (much like Cinderella) and they're back to fighting evil again.
Inserts Molly's voice: "They're just children!"
The movie made me feel more overwhelmed (definitely!) than the book. Perhaps it's because in screenplay you can see more emotions? :D
Twilight
... Uh. I have to admit, when I went to watch New Moon with my sister and her friends... halfway through the movie, I slept. That was a waste of ticket money...
But seriously, there was no trigger, there was no excitement and the spinning scene (change of months) made me dizzy.
Think about it. A diary of a teenager who's mesmerised with her boyfriend... it doesn't really seem to make a good movie story, does it? Since all you're writing about is the awesomeness of your boyfriend. You may disagree, saying that there are all the... dangers (of the Volturi and...) but it's not gripping enough. The effects don't seem really strong and powerful. It seems like you're describing the perfection of your sparklypie-of-a-boyfriend while being hunted down. That really doesn't seem as attractive.
I'm kinda glad I didn't buy the Twilight CD and instead opted for the Half-Blood Prince CD. :D
I think that Kristen Stewart doesn't really seem to display much emotions... Perhaps it's because there really isn't much change of emotions in Bella's role to begin with? But even so, you'd get tired after looking at a person who's displaying the same emotions every. single. time.
So there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not a fan of Twilight because it just doesn't suit me. Still, if you're a Twihard, continuetrolling supporting your love for your fandom. We Potterheads don't need to put down anyone to show that we're awesome.
...wait.
"We Potterheads"?
I has fallen to the fanvirus! Oh no!
Since I am a 'Potterhead' now, might as well start trolling and flaming Twilight?
No. But Bella really is a Mary-Sue. And Edward is a controlling boyfriend. *nods head*
Extra videos!

Dedicated to Jernana
Oh god.
I well, kinda, remembered that it was Jernana's birthday yesterday and I had somehow managed to stumble away for some unknown reason--out of my life and consciousness (I swear that stupid unicorn song managed to hypnotise me into donut land for no reason)
Okay. I kinda wanted to make up for it but I don't really know how. T.T
JERNANA! HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY! ♥♥♥
Okay, that doesn't seem as fair to Eilun... So...
Jerry, share half of it with Eilun :D
Yay~
So I created tagline for both of you~
Eilun's one: EILUN--JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED
Jernana's one: JERNANA--THE ONLY SOLUTION
:D
yay~~~ :D
Oh yeah, some of the words are randomly highlighted to celebrate the yellowism.
So here's the cheer:
All the red, blue and purple wanna be like me,
YELLOWISM~ :D

Sankiew!

Memes. ORLY.
I feel like I've been wafting in and out of my life.
I think some of the days have escaped to somewhere...
T.T
'designed' a costume, may get to putting it up on the blog...
I feel really horrible.
I ran out of Milo.
And I'm too lazy to get some more...
Quoting Faye-Anne,
"JUST CROSS THE DAMN ROAD!"
I feel kinda... weird. My dear daughter has grown up... :'D sniffles. That was so epic. :D
At last, when we came to the photo session, my frog went to photobomb almost every single picture... Good job frog :D Awesomeness overload~ (P.S. I didn't make it go around and photobomb every single picture. It... just did. )
Karaoke machines need more Miku songs.
Lalalala.
♫♫♫ PINK FLUFFEH UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWS ♫♫♫
Some times, I wonder...
What if other seniors looked at my blog...
Y'know, it's kinda scary.
OUR CCA NEEDS A CANON PAIRING! And a non-canon one :D
I'm kinda deciding on which meme faces (like Derp and Derpina, y'know) our reading group seniors fit...
*pauses*
... Well, I bet you Jernana will be the 'LOL' face...
*pauses*
I don't really feel like confessing my crimes on the net. *evil eye glints maliciously*
*pauses*
Oh gosh, not the Harry Potter fanvirus again. =3=
*pauses*
But our CCA really needs a canon pairing.
and a non canon one!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
... No, Jernana, you don't really look like this ^... I think that one's Clarinet.
^ this one is Eilun.
Yes, ^this shall have to be Jernana, until I find a suitable one.
YanQi will be : (^^;;)
Wu Fan: (as expected, cat lover :D)
Megan:
Isabelle: (I didn't really know...)
Yay~
That's all. I think I'll watch that gruesome Chinese movie now...
Yay :D

Musings-- This is Not a Post
You know what?
I kinda feel pity for the world.
This is the 115th post.
And I watched the trailer of "This is Not A Film".
Yes, you've heard it right.
This is not a film.
As such, this is Not a Post.
...
bwahahaha.
I will be writing a play on this.
Paper tigers, the lot of them.
Clarry the Berry :D (Tomatoes gonna tomate)
clarry berry.
Y U SO CUTE.
I ahemforcedahem Clarinet to create a blog (she was trying to create a hilarious meme about Darth Vader and Draco Malfoy but that's another matter.)
So I was telling her (Clarinet, I can't really remember the exact contents of our conversation but it was roughly like that):
ME: Uhh, *points to screen* so you can do this and change the post font and all...
Clarry Berry: Oh. Yay :D
ME: Oh, then--
Clarry Berry: Can I see my blog?
ME: Uh, *points to screen* yeah, so you can press this button and...
BLOG APPEARS :D
ME: Yep, so this is how it looks like and then later you can change the Blog title font--
Clarry Berry: When?
...
...
ZOMB.
That was so cute that I started laughing. Indeed, most people don't react this way--it was a surprise :D
I'm gonna link up your blog to mine too~
And Eilun.
You know that I linked your blog to mine (by the gadget named something like "Blog List") and every time you change your URL...
I has to change it as well.
...
Okay :D Nao it's all rainbow and fluffie ponies.
And I read a commentary on the Fanfic titled "My Immortal" by a (supposed) troll. In that fanfic, there are weird names and strange plotlines. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but since you have some expertise in the Harry Potter fanfiction area...
Well, that was random :D
*goes off to lalaland~*

- senior
swho have gone mad from too much mocha - lame-ity streak
- Obsessive fangirling over cute pony-giraffe-llama plush toys
- Pure fluff and happiness (Jerry told me that since "fluff'' meant romantic in fanfiction, then Eilun's hair is romantic :D)
- banana riddles
- awesome lot of song making
- troll face inducing actions
- embarrassing acts
- imperfect grammar and stuff. (like: "I has no brains"... but it's a tagline.)
