i got scolded and questioned by doctors for having cramps and diarrhoea.

i wonder what on earth they're for.

Chuka Ichiban & a bit of crap ^^

mugyuseiryuzan. muraryorikai.

zomg, Chuka Ichiban (translation: Cooking Master Boy) has such a dark world for the culinary realm. there're special ways to chop up a cow, equivalent to the sword styles that Kenshin uses rofl. mugyuseiryuzan vs hiten mitsurugi ryu-kuzuryuzan. XD they even have a Mafia-like association that's hunting down the protagonist, Mao. lolz.

the story is set in ancient China, where the protagonist, Mao, hails from the province of Szechuan. XD after he's recognized by the Food Official (did they have such a rank in history? @@ i think there may be some truth after all...), he's sent to Hangzhou for training and to take the Special Chef qualification (Tokyuu Chuushin Shiken). of course, he gains the title of Tokyuu Chuushin, and from there he travels China for his training XD interesting eh.

while there may be corny moments like...Chun-li lookalikes holding fans and dancing around the word "Umai"(Delicious), or savoring the universe in a bowl of Ginza noodles etc. the main storyline is strong, even comparable to that of Slayers. considering that this anime is at least as old as Slam Dunk or even Ranma, the art style and storyline are both praiseworthy.

sure, it's old, it's cheesy, especially when the literal battle of the dragons start when the respective chefs unveil their dish, but... if Tezuka can wipe out the dinosaurs with his tennis strokes, i guess anything goes yar. =P

it's definitely worth a watch if you belong to the Akazukin Cha Cha era XD there's a fair share of irritating female lead character squeaking (but not as intolerable as Miaka) and your loser sidekick, or in this case disciple, but there's a fair share of bishies as well, only if you count...those gorrilla-like Caucasians in Prince of Tennis as bishies...*shrugs* there's one who's really a bishie, he kinda looks like Mikagami Tokiya from Rekka...but he kinda appears and disappeared. OTL not to mention there's this...guy who looks like he belongs to the gang of Naraku, Orochimaru and Itachi ...purple eyeshadow anyone? lolz best thing, he's a good guy, and the mentor of Mao. *all hail purple eyeshadow~*


CRAP ALERT~ you have been warned.

as a side note, i kinda figured out how Orochimaru died by the sword of Sasuke. you see, Oro-chan kinda did a baaaad thing. he snatched Naraku's purple eyeshadow. ^^ Naraku-chan got pretty pissed off when he realised that his last pallet of purple eyeshadow was missing. *cues thunder and lightning* *cues Naraku-chan swearing vengence on Oro-chan* Naraku-chan goes after Oro-chan and coveniently pops into the dimension in which Sasuke was battling Oro-chan in the "final battle" Naraku and his baboon obviously combined powers with Sasuke and together they beat Oro-chan. that was what Kabuto witnessed when Sasuke showed him the "final battle". just before Oro-chan breathed his last, he sent one of his little snakes to deliver the purple eyeshadow to none other than...ITACHI! (i am not going to incur the wrath of Itachi and Orochimaru fans, if the latter has any, by implying that the two are a couple) let's just say that Oro-chan had a deal with Itachi that he would give him the purple eyeshadow laced with erm...Sasuke's erm...sweat maybe? (Sasu x Ita fans? XD) rights, so Itachi gets the Sasu-sweat-laced-purple-eyeshadow. Sasu-chan, got pissed off with the fact that his aniki was into incest/yaoi that he went after Itachi with a roar. he finished off Itachi and took back the purple eyeshadow which he has been eyeing ever since Oro-chan got hold of it. (that was the reason why he killed Oro-chan in the first place XD) and so, we wait with bated breath, to see if Sasu-chan will one day don the purple eyeshadow ^^

-fin-

*scoots off for more Chuka Ichiban before i get slaughtered by Sasu, Ita, Oro, Naraku fans*

a day of shopping

well, not exactly a day of shopping, since most of the day was spent travelling. maybe the title should be changed to a day of stuffing my face.

basically, the day started with me sleeping in. nice rainy morning, in addition to the fact that the party at my house last night ended late with me helping to clean up = reason to sleep in. managed to win the debate with my dad, which resulted in us skipping breakfast to sleep in somemore XD ended up falling asleep while talking to a friend...OTL woke up only at 12pm @@ lolz. then went out for Taiwan porridge at Goodwood Park Hotel with a couple of relatives.

after filling our tummies with a whole lot of porridge (it's free-flow btw, so you can imagine how much we ate), we walked towards Far East Plaza. here something amusing happened. i was chatting with my mum about some random stuff when we were walking out of the carpark, when suddenly, something crashed down onto our umbrella and my head. make a guess what crashed down. the barrier of the carpark gangtry. roflmao. farnie. once again proved that my skull is as thick as a coconut husk.

anw, we continued walking towards Tangs. there, they decided that Taiwan porridge and Durian crepes weren't filling enough so they went along as started eating cake. OTL

walked a little more and our relatives decided they had enough of Singapore's expensive stuff, so they drove back to Malaysia. then we decided to go chase after another group of relatives from the outback eventually found them at Vivocity after a long while in the car trying to find parking space at the impossibly crowded Vivocity.

after locating them, we shopped at...Giant ^^ managed to grab some Anime and J-Drama, then decided to come home to watch an incredibly gay show XD i think the english name is...Cooking Master Boy or something liddat. farnie and gay ^^ chiaoz, back to Naruto and Cooking Master Boy (must go find out the jap name, the eng name is a little hilarious)

Naruto

bashed it once, got hooked onto it. bashed it a second time, got hooked again.prolly lost my mind edi. OTL

within a span of...say two days? i think i covered...89 (still counting) manga chapters worth of story. lol. nuts, never read a manga so fast in my life. even RAVE and Rekka no Honoo were read at a nice comfortable pace.

best thing about this manga? people double-cross then double-cross again until i get slightly confused as to whom they are double-crossing. spoilers here, but i don't think anyone would mind them =P. Sai, the dear replacement for "Sasuke-kun" was assigned to Team Kakashi. his apparent missions: a) to join hands with Orochimaru to destroy Konoha. b) to assassinate Sasuke. c) to save Sasuke. all, concurrently.

"..." *brain concussion* that is after i summarized kay, imagine trying to read that on your own. though I'm sure a particular someone won't have any problems with following the storyline *smacks* this one does.

next best thing about this manga? bishies drop dead like flies XD *poof* Yondaime the moment he appears *poof* Kimimaro *poof* Gaara nearly there *poof* Sasori *poof* Itachi *poof* Kakashi *poof* etc etc. man, they disappear faster than Naruto's Kage Bunshins. well at least they replenish the stock, only to kill them off again or place them in mortal danger. lolz, i'll get down to my roll-call of the dead once i'm done clearing the remaining chapters i have ^^.

that won't be too soon. and it'll take a while for me to clear the rest of the chapters ^^ i have roughly...119 more to go as of now ^^

PS manga's nicer than the anime. true, less colour but much less draggy, coz you go "click" and it's the next page already ^^ on the other hand, manga can be draggy to, contrary to popular belief.

PPS Sai IS kinda cute. and so is Yamato *hearts* soon they'll go *poof*

lessons learnt

1. SPOILER ALERT (KUROSHITSUJI)

discovery of the day. the curry bun we (all) love was invented by none other than...Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji! amusing. he came up with the idea of stuffing curry into a bun. for what reason? for the convenience of little children to enjoy e curry without having to use utensils! *throws confetti into e air* and to make his "godlike" curry that even beat that Indian butler's curry, he added, a bar of Phantomhive Dark Chocolate. hallelujah~ laugh die.

2. SPOILER ALERT (KUROSHITSUJI)

Kuroshitsuji is so packed with shounen-ai and yaoi (implied i guess) that a straight guy turns gay mid-way. welcome to the dark side, pal! XD let's just say it's because the girl he was chasing kinda ditched him. so he turned to none other than his butler! XDDD master x servant, banzai!!! it isn't Ciel and Sebastian I'm talking about  =P that couple long ago together already mahhhh XDDDDD

3. steaming an egg may result in the egg disappearing from the plate. serious. my plate ended up empty after i steamed the egg. guess it kinda decided to drown itself in the water used to steam it...

4. seemingly docile Parrotfish (see image below) are really aggressive predators. we decided to fish up some guppies from the pond outside to rear in the aquarium inside, when to our horror (and my disgust) the guppies disappeared faster than my sister's dinner did. urgh. gross. there wasnt any apparent hesitation, as though the Parrot fish were used to eating live fish, even though we only fed them with fish food up till today. fish eating other dead fish i can barely stand, fish eating other fish live? urgh.

5. expected the unexpected, as Kerberos always says.

We live as we dream—alone. – Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

wtf

oh my blardy freaking goodness. they are showing SKIP BEAT on OKTO! *falls to hell in despair* nooooooooooooooooo SKIP BEATTTTT *sobs* why have you been mutilated sooooo how could they...show Skip Beat on the equivalent of Kids Central...now xiao mei meis will go round proclaiming their otaku status and worse...Skip Beat MAY be American-ised! nooooooooo. oh, on a side note, Gundam 00 is on OKTO too. dang. one day Skip Beat will have Wolverine in it. *falls deeper than hell*

are joo lost?

some stuff anna found out today when she lost her way (yesh again, for the blardy goodness-knows-how-many-th time). well that's not exactly true. she didnt remain lost for the whole time, she managed to recover her way (eventually). some tips that she'll like to share (listen and heed only if you're as hopeless at directions as she is, if not keep to your own way and you'll be safer yo)

1. Always. Always. Always, remember where you started from.
if you take public transport ie MRT. good for you. rights. say you forgot which way to walk from the MRT station, and say you still can't remember the way to walk after standing at the exit of the station gaping into the air in front of you, then how? you walk in a straight line.
2. Always walk in a STRAIGHT line. or a general straight-line direction.
one thing good about that, you'll always be able to find your way BACK. if liddat also cannot find your way back, then you better not got out alone. usually, after walking in a straight line, you might bump into something familiar or some landmark you might recognise, if so, good for you. if not, bad for you. nothing else to add.
3. Always trust your instincts.
never ever doubt your instincts. i did so today, and one helluva mistake was that. i shan't elaborate. if your instincts don't work, then close your eyes and walk. your instincts will start working and lead you on auto-pilot. if all of the above fails, then how? refer to point number 1.
4. Walk back to where you started from (which should be somewhat easy unless you didn't follow my instructions.)
one good thing about walking back to the start point, at least you're somewhere where you can
a) call some good friend who has a better/good direction sense for help (eg my laogong).
b) start wailing and some kind passerby may offer a helping hand.
c) bug the station control people for directions (which by right you should have done from the start but if you're like me, you wouldn't have)
d) go home and try again another day after you've checked the street directory.

note that these tips only apply if you're a greater road-idiot than anna is. if not, stick to your own way. it'd be safer for you. toodaloo.

quotes of the day~ from Kuroshitsuji

        "At this moment, my body and soul, to the last hair, belong to my master."
Sebastian in Kuroshitusji

a truly yaoi fangirl-worthy moment~~~


       "May I have the honour of this dance, my Lord?"
Sebastian to Ciel in Kuroshitsuji

a drool-able moment~


       "It's coming out~~~"
Ciel in Kuroshitsuji (with Ciel propped up against the wall, sweating, and screaming in delight/supposed agony. oh, did i mention shirt-less? when Sebastian was tightening his corset for him...or whatever the imaginative yaoi-fangirl can think of =P *nosebleeds*)

yaoi fangirl heaven.
quote my laogong: "They KNOW they have yaoi fangirls watching this show. They KNOW."
*nods* yesh indeed, of course they know. and they deliver XD this is called fan-service yo.

Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life. – Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

SHO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *fangirls* too bad it's not sticking out its cute little forked tongue~ rawr~ kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii XDDDDDDDDD

on the 8th & 9th of Nov...

anna ish one happy girl~ there are 6 reasons why~

1. she ate one absolutely delicious ice-cream which she thinks is a taste of heaven. it is the Magnum Ecuador Dark~~~ *dissolves into a puddle* the dark chocolate is to kill for. it's 60% cocoa btw~ XDDDDDD *floats into heaven* below is the packaging from the ice-cream, which she cant bear to throw away (but she did anw coz her mum was threatening to dump all the stuff in her room if she didn't throw it away), after the ice-cream has been demolished of course. dark chocolate fans, you have found salvation.

2. she finally got her beloved yogurt after torturous months of not eating it due to the melamine scare. no milk and no yogurt for such a long time was akin to stabbing her bishies. so anna ish happy that she can finally get her daily dosage of calcium by scoffing down more yogurt and milk XDDD not to mention that she finally managed to buy a bottle of Jap mayonnaise after talking about it for donkey years. and her sister kindly pestered mum to buy some Pate, which she gladly accepted XDDDDDD in other words, food glorious food for the next month or so~ XDDDDDDDD

3. she has $50 extra in her cashcard, courtesy of dad who kindly got tricked into topping it up, thinking it was mum's card ^^*V* kudos to him~ haha, she offered a bite of my wonderful ice-cream, but he declined, so she gave him she beef during dinner =P

4. she has finally figured out what to do with her balcony which has basically been left to rot ever since she moved into her room. now she has decided to use it to sun-dry her towels and clothes. in other words, her room is turning into a dormitory. how...exciting.

5. her mum has kindly agreed to buy her a metal bow, though she thinks mummy only agreed coz mummy doesn't know the price of a metal bow with all the add-ons included in. laugh die. oh well, she'll get her limbs from grandpa and grandma, riser from daddy and mummy, stabilizer from uncle fabs, sight from...etc. well, you get the idea. kind donations from various people would most probably make up her bow. ^^*V* "on the first day of Christmas my parents gave to me~ a riser with a clicker~ on the second day of Christmas my uncle gave to me~ a sight and a T-square~ etc."

6. she has finally figured out what present to get. amazingly, she has successfully bought it without too much delay haha. it will now reach its destination on time without a certain someone having to freeze. ^^ not to mention she coincidentally has a matching one somewhere in her room...

one observation which has amused her greatly is this: while Listerine is supposed to help you combat plague and gum infections, it attracts ants. *raises eyebrows* how can something which combats tooth decay attract ants? how intriguing ^^

another photo from e wedding dinner on Sunday, two great snapshots of my sis. laugh die. enjoy~

lolz, Beatrice got so tired and bored while eating dinner that she...well decided to sleep. haha~

i love bats~and a snake~

woots~~~ PW IS OVERRRR *throws confetti* *pops champagne* *unearths anime* hallelujah~! XDDDDD anna ish a happy girl~ lolz. people reading my blog must think i'm some schizo or mad person haha. too bad~ today ish the Ultimate Attack day! remember the bishie from Gundam 00? Allelujah Haptism and his split personality Hallelujah Haptism. lolz. some joke my laogong told me popped into my head. it goes smt like this: "i show my left eye (Allelujah), i am zai. i show my right eye (Hallelujah), i own. my ultimate attack, i show both eyes!" kay, for those who didnt understand, dont bother. jus another mad moment of mine. which are getting a little too frequent. lolz~

ANYWAY~ PW officially ends today~~~ haha! pats to my group mates who slogged their guts out~ enjoy the hols yar~ XDDDDD

and yupps. the title isnt wrong. i do love bats~ they're freaking cute! and i mean it. for those who think i'm weird, join the club, there's a waiting list though. lolz~ if you hate bats or if you're scared of them, i'd recommend watching Jeff Corwin. there's this episode in which he rescues a bat with an injured wing. my gosh, the bat looks exactly like a dog with wings! actually i think it looked like a Chihuahua, especially so coz of its long snout and big round eyes. bats arent harmful to humans at all, most of em jus eat fruits. Vampire bats are only going to be a threat to you if you're a cow or something. they never consume human blood haha. and those scary photos with them baring their teeth? go find a picture of a Pit-bull. i'm sure the latter is scarier. they dont fly into your face either. unless they're deaf, which doesnt happen too often. so to those who associate bats with vampires, think of the vampire as a bishie, then the bat will be just a cute doggy like Riiya. XDDDDD

haha. anw yar, i used to be freaked out by bats, coz one flew in to my grandparents' house when i was about 4 or 5, and i remembered quite a panic in the house since my grandparents were running around chasing some black shadow. they told me the next day that a Flying Fox flew in through the window and i got freaked out, coz i thought the bat was a fox with wings, and that would make it a very very big bat. (must understand that at that age, most things seemed huge to you lolz). anw yar, i was scared that it would fly back in and carry me away to eat or smt (watch too much fantasy shows edi).

it wasnt until recent years that i started liking bats. first was the Jeff Corwin episode, and that showed how tame bats can be~ also showed how cute they really are <3 it was jus hugging onto to Jeff Corwin and drinking milk from a bottle! *squeals* ahem anw yar, not too long after that, i was pulling out the weeds in the garden of my old house (before renovation that is) when i happened to look up at this Champak tree (a fragrant flower often used by Indians in their oil/flower garlands in case you're wondering) in my garden. i stared for a while. then ran off screaming in glee. there was this hollow in the foliage of the tree, making it look like somewhat a cave in the tree crown. and there, lo and behold, roosted a family of bats~ <3 anna was a happy girl then~ haha. i used to sit below that hollow in the tree and stare at the bats. cant remember if i managed to take any photos of them anot, i'll try to dig lolz. then when that tree was cut down for the construction of this house, i was pretty sad, coz i thought they bats would never come back, like that little owl that used to sit on the road sign outside our house. it was an adorable owl by the way, snow white in colour and no bigger than the letter it was perched on top of. <3 BUT! last week, i stood at the stairwell outside my room and i HAPPENED to look out to the mango tree in front of our house. there were many flying shapes darting in and out of the tree. at first i thought they were birds, then one of them flew by the lamppost. the bats were back~ haha a bigger brood this time round, and they cleared out the mangoes, much to the annoyance of my mum and uncle lolz. but anna ish once again a happy girl~ coz the bats are back~~~ <3 pity they dont live in the mango tree, if not i'd be posting snapshots by now haha. sho yupps~ when the mangoes are ripe, a whole army of bats would be flying right outside my window. and its a sight i love to see~ <3

snakes have also been old friends to occassionally visit my house. the first time i saw a snake was when i was roughly 5. or definitely before my sis was born. i was playing the garden (yesh i grew up in the garden), digging holes and plucking flowers as usual when i saw this bunch of white eggs. at first i thought they were lizard eggs, so i didnt really bother. it wasnt until a few days later that my maid started screaming about a snake in the garden that we realised they were a nest of snake eggs. haha sho cool. think my dad got rid of the eggs somehow or another, but i could i'd love to hatch those eggs. <3 imagine a whole family of snakes! XDDDDD then over the years, snakes generally caused panic in my house whenever they were spotted, mainly in drains and gardens and stuff. sadly, many of them were killed on impulse (T_T) though i doubt if any of them were venomous to begin with. but oh well, it's common error to kill a snake as soon as you see it. which is very regrettable. as luck would have it, the latest snake that wandered into our house happens to be a frequent visitor. (we deduced this from the burn scars it has due to our sprinkling of alcohol down the drain the last time we saw it). my dad managed to catch the snake alive and we kinda played with it a little. after an hour or so of research, with help from a good~ friend, the little snake has been identified as a Paradise Tree Snake.

i'll post some photos of it soon~ this post getting a little long lolz. it is venomous, and it'll kill you if you're a Gecko. lolz, if not the worst you'll get is a swollen finger. it's a really pretty snake~ <3 and surprisingly, it feels extremely soft to touch. abit like marshmallow maybe? it's not scaly at all, as i had originally thought. it was so smooth and soft it didnt feel like a snake. haha. i was shocked by it at first, coz i had just returned from archery prac on Sunday when my sis burst through the door uttering completely incoherent sentences (she does that quite abit) and my dad holding a jar while wearing gloves. i freaked out when i saw a snake was inside the jar, but after a while (quite a long while), i plucked enough courage to touch the snake, and i couldnt stop after that. it felt so vulnerable, such a small creature that really meant no harm. it was probably doing me a service by eating the lizards in my house. and to think jus a year ago, we would have killed this pretty snake without second thought. haiz. it's really cute, and apparently it likes to be pet on the head @@ haha~

snakes, like bats, are often misunderstood to be symbols of evil, bringing fear and terror whereever they go. but hey, they're really really cool animals that deserve respect too yar. imagine your entire body being a bundle of nothing but muscle, or being able to fly as a mammal. they arent simply pests to be killed at first sight ya know. of course, i'm not telling you to go kiss every single snake/bat you see, but dont start whacking it with a chair or smt. they're probably more scared of you than you are of them. jus let them quietly slither out the way they came in. aggrevating them into a panic would only make them disorientated and start running all over your house and even attack you. yes, some snakes are dangerous, like the King Cobra, but hello? you're in Singapore yar, King Cobras arent going to turn up at your doorstep unless your neighbour has been illegaly smuggling snakes in. so just chill and let them go kay. dont go around thinking that all snakes are dangerous, most of them only post a danger to you if you're a rat or lizard. think lah, snakes can be harmless too yar, just as dogs like Rottweiler can be deadly. be nice to snakes and bats kay~ they deserve love~ <3 and they're frigging blardy cute! <3 anna loves the pretty snake and the bats in her house. <3 i really should post some photos of the animals that have wandered into my house before. haha~ XDDDDD

kks this post too long edi. i'll post another time soon, hopefully with photos. XDDDD
chaoz~

none needed

another of my mood-swingish posts. leave before you get caught in the cycle. should you happen to get sucked in, not my fault. i have warned you. and I'm still warning you. =_=|| don't read.

i have never understood nor will i ever understand humans.

i can safely say that for every person you know, there exists another one within who is a total stranger. that said, i know Belleanna exists somewhere, and her existence has been recorded by certain unfortunate people. who still live to tell the tale, for your information.

schizophrenia affects everyone. nope, it's not a special medical conditions that some unfortunate, traumatized people have. convince yourself that you've never before behaved out-of-character. you lose.

my point? i give up trying to understand humans. heck, i cant even say i understand myself. well, at most i know that i understand Annabelle, but i cant say the same for Belleanna, or even the other sides of me that exist without my knowledge. who knows, in some dark, musty corner, there's a certain Anabel lying in the wait. shrugs. so before you accuse me of not being understanding, pardon me, I'm still trying to understand myself. that kinda takes up most of my energy, time and brainpower. once i get through with that, I'll try understand you. I'll thank you in advance for your patience.

wonderful, lovely, fuzzy wuzzy childhood memories

one fine day, anna decides to watch something simple, something that does not require an ounce of brain power. she opens the crunchyroll webpage and sees a show she remembers from days long past. wanna make a guess? nope, not Pokemon. nah, not Magic Knight Rayearth either. if you guessed Sailormoon you're dead. give up? she saw the title: Akazukin Cha Cha. rolls over and laugh die.

lolz yupps~ i started watching Akazukin Cha Cha from the top! laugh die, thought i was bad enough when i rewatched Digimon and Digimon 02 up to the point when they started the Eng dub. but that's another story altogether. Cha Cha brings back...interesting memories lolz. like how i actually thought that Riiya was cute. well, he still is. =P i'll let the screenshots speak for themselves XDDDDD after i finish Cha Cha, i shall restart on Gundam. ^^*V*


Riiya~ XD haha one thing i loooove bout Akazukin Cha Cha is the kira-kira eyes of the characters. yeah, some people complain about the art being old-school or even ugly *bashes people up* but there is beauty in vintage kay. look at Slayers. look at some of the Digimon, Angemon anyone? they are pretty kay. even if there isnt pretty art, some of the storylines are wayyyy better than those we get today. =P

rolls on the floor laughing my ass off. need i say more?

Kyuu-chan the Vampire. hilarious. =P

a macroscopic view. the showdown between dog (wolf) and vampire. laugh die.

people who need to eat dust ^^

lolz~ warning sia, bitching coming right up dudes~ stay off if ya easily disturbed or low-tolerance =P which by the way, if you fall into either category, you shouldn't be reading this blog in the first place lolz~ anw yupps~ you've been warned. bitching up ahead.

seriously, people who think the world of themselves are in one word, irritating. now don't start shooting me for saying that. if they're the kind who think they are worthy of such self-adoration, by all means, they can worship their reflection in the mirror. but lemme say my piece first. if you think you're all-so-mighty royalty, think again. for heaven's sake, before you start worshipping yourself, get people to respect you first.

seriously, the only people i actually respect and admire are either those with a brain, or those with a heart, preferably both. if a person has neither, then please go roll in the mud. hai~ not particularly arrowing anyone specifically, just a whole bunch of self-obsessed people who irked me to a point beyond redemption. not to mention i'm pissed off at the moment, so too bad.

once again my laogong is right. fine, laogong you are forever right, save for the time you advised me to be a cryptologist (did i get the spelling right? lolz) yar i think i emo-ing hahaha~ and yar, we all are late-bloomers sia =P laugh die. hope you enjoyed stuffing your face at jap club today XDDDDD sho sad that i didnt manage to go home with you *plants fungi in a corner and watches them sprout* T_T next week we go liang court to stuff our faces yar~ XDDDD jiayou with cloud's cross-stitch ne~ i have no idea why i'm saying this here when i'm going to see you tmr anw @@ laugh die oh well, type edi jiu forget it bah~ lazy to delete =PPP me shall go watch Akazukin Chacha~ and i shall rave bout Sebastian and Ren a lil later~ jya~~~ next post will be happier~ i promise~ hahaha

and btw, for those who cant see an elephant in front of them, i've added Arias', Peiting's and Joel (the gay)'s blogs on my link list~ go see their blogs if you're interested lolz~ wait people say i anti-social. ironically, i dun have my laogong's blog on my link list @@ oh well~ *shrugs* laugh die XDDD

Merger

RI + RJC = RI (Secondary)(Junior College). *facepalm*

@#%!@# haiz. for all that i say i cannot stand RI guys, looks what happens. pfffft. now i'll be graduating as an RI student!!!! *tears hair out and screams in horror* noooooo *end of the world* argh. well...i guess the only good thing ish that RG wont be joining in the merger...so at least i'm an RGS/RI student (wait, doesnt that make me sound like i'm a transversite or smt? @#$!) rather than an RI student through and through. oh well...you should have heard the curses from my more...feminist (?) friends lolz. cant say i'm too happy bout the news, especially since they're naming the merged institution RI, but seriously it doesnt really affect the lot of us...*shrugs* i think.

retail therapy works.

well of course it does, if not why would the shops and boutiques all over the island be making all the moolah? lolz, fortunately or unfortunately, i am guilty of it. using shopping to de-stress that is. =P well yar, not jus retail therapy, i think reading helps to alleviate stress too. interestingly, i havent picked up a single manga since promos ended (actually i haven't read manga way before promos started), neither have i watched anime or played psp/ps2 games. no~ i have once again regained my status as a bookworm. haha. i managed to fly through 3 books in a day @@ a feat that i havent done since my primary school days lolz. one on Chinese history, one Redwall and one Agatha Christie book. lolz~

anw yupps, back to retail therapy. now i post yet another tribute to my dear laogong~ haha. she, the almighty nice one, stayed to shop wt me~ sho nice right~~~ mind you, even my mum gave up shopping with me coz i'm so damn picky lolz. anw yar, we walked from erm...Ngee Ann City to Far East? lolz~ at first i was looking for a bag. after grueling hours of choosing, i bought a pair of shoes. and a bag yesh lolz. hahaha imagine having to stick wt my whining throughout the entire time *nods* shee me laogong ish e best~ *throws flower petals all over the place* hahah~ (too bad laogong, u blame me for being gross and soppy =P) sho yupps~~~ a tribute to my laogong who pei-ed me for the whole afternoon (though she did get her revenge by nearly killing me a few times, but that's beside the point =P) XDDDDD

and anw, retail therapy doese work. just careful that it doesnt start another round of depression when you look at your now-empty wallet or bank account after you're done with it. XD

Granado Espada in...RI $%^#$

laugh die. i have to post this rant. as i was queuing up for drinks during lunch at RI (we went to the RI canteen for lunch), i overheard this conversation: (note imagine two ah beng RI xiao di di talking kay =P)

A: eh you know arh, there are many F2P games out there leh, wah lao why you dont try some? free one jus play lah man, if not free for wad sia.
B: aiyar, free games i also dunno wad to play, so many leh, scarly load all onto my comp my comp hang die.
A: aiyar, tell you lah, go try this game, GRANADO ESPADA lah, this game arh, ownage i tell you, went from F2P to P2P then F2P again leh! imba lah.
B: huh, wad F2P P2P? wah lao, so many short-forms for wad?
A: u noob arh, F2P means free to play lah, P2P means pay to play lah toots. aiya neway lah, jus go play lah, tell you arh, u so noob better go on the non-PK server first lah, wait go in only die i will laugh arh
B: wah lao wad the eff is PK-server lah.....*voice trails off*

laugh die. seriously, i died when i heard that convo. firstly, it's bout GE, and hearing RI guys talk bout GE is just like hearing your little sis talk about Maple. i dunno, it jus cracks me up. to think i'd hear GE after such a long time, and in RI of all places lolz. i kept laughing non-stop for the rest of lunch. oh well, that was funny (actually not very funny, but i jus found it highly amusing) best thing is that both of them sound like noobs, especially with their beng tone in the way they speak. somemore A dude kept stressing the highlighted words like he damn pro lolz. must be a freshie gamer =P RI xiao di di is indeed RI xiao di di. quote from Khis, they look small enough to be kicked around =P *continues to laugh die*

"Arigatou" wo kanade kanade   Tooku hanareta to shite mo...

Kaze ni fukarenagara aruite ikikau   Hitogomi no naka de
Yasashii kimi ni koko de deaeta ...   "Hanaretakunai yo"

Tsunaida kokoro wa hitotsu dakara
Bokutachi wa toberun da

"Arigatou" wo kanade kanade   Tooku hanareta to shite mo
"Sayonara" to te wo futte   Mata koko de aimashou

Hitotsu hitotsu kono omoi wo ima   Kanaeru koto ga dekitara
Kitto tsuyoi boku ni nareru kara   Waratte kimi ni aeru yo

Hitori hitori de mawaru sekai wa
Shinjiru koto sae kowaku naru kedo
Ano hi kureta kimi no kotoba ga
Tobidatsu boku no hane ni naru kara

"Arigatou" wo kanade kanade   Tsunagu te wa nai kedo
"Arigatou" hibike hibike   Kono uta kimi e todoke

"Arigatou" wo kanade kanade   Tooku hanareta to shite mo
"Sayonara" to te wo futte   Mata koko de aimashou
"Sayonara" to te wo futte   Mata koko de aimashou
...Mata kimi ni aitai...


English Translation:
Playing "thank you" again and again, Even though we're far apart...

Walking while blown by the wind,
Among the crowd that's coming and going
I met you here ... "I don't want to be parted"

Even in the lonely nights, you were here,
I'll promise "because I will become strong"
Our joined hearts are one, So we can fly

Playing "thank you" again and again, Even though we're far apart
Waving hands "goodbye", Let's meet here again

One by one, If I could grant these thoughts right now
I would surely become a stronger me,
And be able to meet you with a smile

One by one, Even believing that the world revolves is scary
The words you said to me that day
Will become my wings as I fly

Playing "thank you" again and again,
even though I'm not holding anyone's hand
Echoing "thank you" again and again,
so that this song will reach you

Playing "thank you" again and again,
Even though we're far apart Waving hands "goodbye",
Let's meet here again Waving hands "goodbye",
Let's meet here again ...I want to meet you again...

English Translation:
In the endlessly far sky, there's only the feeling of "thank you"
As if reaching out, I'll spread my hands and laugh

Little and fragile pieces of life, you and I
Are holding them one by one

The light of truth will increase the brightness
Wiping away darkness, your heart will illuminate the future

Let's promise one thing, I'm alive here
It's great to still be so; a pure white color that seems to glare

Before long, my thoughts will someday arrive at my destiny
And find a limitless strength

I seek for the truth, even if I get battered by sadness
Even on a night in which all seems lost

Impulses are born within the quiet times
Your determined heart will change everything

Let's promise one thing, I'm alive here
It's great to still be so; a pure white color that seems to glare

Before long, my thoughts will someday arrive at my destiny
And find a limitless strength

In the endlessly far sky

i looked down. and screamed.

argh, there was a centipede climbing on my shoe!!! rawr. lolz. yeah, i practically deafened all the people who were hiding in the tent. laugh die. but seriously it was gross. the entire field was overcrawling with centipedes *shudders* argh. well, not to mention that the rain made the field so muddy, it was like walking on sludge. urgh. yeah...lucky i have more than one pair of shoes, lolz. but no diff anw, coz tomorrow will rain. i bet all my money on that. it will rain tomorrow! laugh die. yar, sho there goes 2 pairs of shoes. lucky it's e sept hols. o~~~hohoho. kks, i go study edi. chiaoz~

a wormy day

argh. just the title alone gives me the goosebumps. pfffft. maybe i should recount the events of the whole day. lol.

kay lah, the early morning was great. basically coz i woke up early. so no rush. jus stroll around and yeah. happy! haha. lessons were okay too, i could do e questions blah blah. lunch was fun, food at RI was good. chem test was bad, coz i fell asleep lolz. seriously, lecture tests are badddd coz i always fall asleep during lecture tests. pffft. kay lah, then school ended. and the bad luck began. *cues sound of impending doom*

well, it was pouring, not that it should matter since there's a covered walkway behind the school that leads to a bus-stop. so i took that walkway, just like many others would have. well, only my shoes got wet, coz Singapore just floods, walkways are forever flooded. pffft. the next thing i knew, a taxi (comfort cab by the way) ZOOMED by, on the LEFT bloody lane. and guess wad. since Singapore's always flooded (so are the roads) the water in the puddle splashed up. hola. and who was walking on the pavement? me. hola. #$%@#$ and you know wad? that happened. three. bloody. times. *censors swear word* so wad was the point of me walking on the sheltered walkway? i could just have walked in the rain and there wont be a diff. pfffft. that's not all kay. in the half an hour i stood at that bus-stop waiting. many other people walked the same way. but NONE. grab this. NONE of them had e same thing happening to them. wtf. lolz. i know you're laughing. *smacks* pffft. i guess this is called bad luck lah. *shrugs* but that's just the start of it.

coz it was raining so heavily when i reached yishun, i decided to eat my lunch at sunplaza instead, and wait out the rain. lol. after lunch the skies cleared quite nicely, so i walked home from sunplaza, cutting through the estate that i usually walk through XD cause the rain just ended, the way home was nice and quiet, actually i was the only person walking through. laugh die. sho very nice to emo worh. hahahahahha. the worst thing. was when i crossed the road. the big big road after the big field. the whole pavement, was as usual. flooded. so i stared abit harder to figure out if there're any dry bumps i can step on, cause seriously, my feet were starting to bloat in my shoes after being soaked for like 2 hours. the gross part comes now. when i stared at the flooded pavement, something in the water moved. MOVED okay. then more and more started MOVING. bloody hell the ENTIRE PAVEMENT WAS SWIMMING WITH EARTHWORMS! *censors out string of curse words* my freaking goodness! i swear those earthworms were longer than my ruler can. *shudders* the entire stretch of pavement was literally swimming with earthworms, cause their field was flooded, so they swam out onto the flooded pavement. and they were huge. and bleached. i guess coz they've been soaking in the water for too long. but there were so many of them, i really couldn't bring myself to walk on that pavement coz i know i'd step on some of them. freaking gross. pffft.

so guess what, i crossed back to the other side of the road and walked along that pavement. then arh. when i was walking arh, i looked down. and saw something next to my shoe move. damn it. i looked a little further. the freaking entire pavement was swimming. with. baby. earthworms. *censors string of curse words* wtf lah. i ran back to the traffic light and just stood there. lolz. one side of the road, giant daddy-mummy earthworms. the other side of the road, hundreds of squirming baby earthworms. just great. where the hell do i walk? i took my chances. i ran, or literally bounced down the stretch with the baby earthworms, half-screaming as i ran along. *squirms* yucks. uber gross. zzz it still gives me goosebumps to think of how many earthworms i squashed under my shoe. urgh. freaking gross. haiz. yarr...basically that was it. *shudders*

not to mention that my phone line is still down, even though i called up the service provider, and they told me that they'll reset my line. *Shrugs* i guess i could do without at phoneline. just that whoever needs to contact me cant reach me. *shrugs* none of my business *runs off* o~~~hoho anna shall be uncontactable *gloats*

jya ne~ have fun mugging for promos ppl. we will survive! and yar, take care of your health worh. everyone's falling sick. *bites the flu bug*

English Translation:
Wind of beginnings
Deliver this message:
"Because I will always believe in you"

That time I was standing in a world I saw in my dreams
Surveying the landscape, my legs tremble slightly
But I won't look back, because I've decided to walk forward
Looking up at the seven-coloured rainbow in the sky, do you see it too?

Wind of beginnings,
Deliver this message
"Because I will watch your back as you run towards your dreams"
Soaring wind, deliver this thought:
"Because I will always believe in you"
Fluttering towards the future

For example, when a person thinks about the one important to them
Surely they will have a kind look on their face
The road through time is endless, move forward and don't give up

Wind of beginnings
Deliver this message:
"At the end of your faraway journey, I will wait for you"
Soaring wind, exceed your destiny
Because I believe my wish will be delivered
If I meet you again someday, show me your smile

Wind of beginnings,
Deliver this message:
"At the end of your faraway journey, I will wait for you"
Soaring wind, exceed your destiny
Because I believe my wish will be delivered
There is nothing to be afraid of, "because you exist"

okaaay, the eng translations make the song sound...cheesy...pffffft =_= *mumbles* lolz but either way, it's a nice song worh haha. just that spamming it for 3 seasons non-stop is abit too much...even Kyou Kara Maou changed opening song after 2 season...haha oh well...hard to find a song that describes Saiunkoku as well as this one does bah...*shrugs* XDDD

Kimi ga kurikaeshi otona ni natte
Nando mo nando mo tooku e itte
Mimamoru boku ga nemurenai boku ga
Kusha kusha ni natta to shite mo
Kimi no na wo utau tame ni...

(You grow up repeatedly and
Go into the distance over and over again
Watching over you, unable to sleep, even though I became disheveled
For the sake of singing your name...)

I remember sitting with you
Underneath the tree of life
We listened to every fainted cry
Of the creatures there on the day the world began

Looking at everything that I've lost
And almost everything that I've loved
I'll hold them all tightly in my arms,
Wondering where I am, so please tell me where to go

All of the answers u seek lie hidden in the sun
If i hadn't met you my life would have been in the darkness forever
In my wings are the powers of immortality
Buy by meeting you my whole life has changed
You give light to me, hope to me, strength into my life

All this time these twelve thousand years I know AISHITERU
Eight thousand years from the time that I've met you my love grows stronger than ever before
Words can't say of this time I've been waiting to share my love with you
I'd give you my life, I would give you the world to see you smiling every day
One hundred million and two thousand years from now AISHITERU
I want you to know since u came in my life every day, every night you give light into the darkest skies

All these twelve thousand years
I've been loving you

Tower of Druaga

now this is a first. for the first time ever...i watch a show, and go "...wtf" within the first 10min of the show. the first episode of Tower of Druaga is a complete "wtf" episode lol. at first i thought it was a joke...but a 20min long joke is taking things wayyy too far...and btw, the idea of "oh it was a dream" is just so overused, it isnt even funny anymore...

lolz i dunno how the rest of the series will turn out...but jus after the first episode...i dun feel like watching it anymore...the only reason why i'm following would be because of Ishida Akira's role in the show. and the character had better not die. or i'd curse lolz. see how bah...for now...zzz i cant stand the concept. it's wayy too cheesey haha...even Gundam SEED Destiny started out better than this...as much as i'd hate to say that...lol

~jya~

English Translation:
On the day the world began
Under the tree of life
The two of us heard
The faraway echoes of the whales' voices

All the things that I lost
All the things that I loved
Embracing them in this hand
Where will I wander to now?

The amber sun in which the answer lurks
If we hadn't met
I would have remained an angel of massacre

A soul that holds the sparkle of immortality
Don't hurt my wings
I was born to know this feeling

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousands years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine

Before the world ends
Before life ends
I want to undo this sleeping grief
And embrace your scent

Memories of the sea god, which i carefully listened to
The beautiful moon, swallowed by despair and standing still
Arise, light that dried up in eternity
Don't get soiled
Your dreams
I was born while dwelling in a prayer

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousands years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine

You grow up repeatedly and
Go into the distance over and over again
Watching over you, unable to sleep, even though I became disheveled
For the sake of singing your name...

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousands years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousands years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine


haha pretty sweet in my opinion, which is why i've been spamming this song non-stop for the past few days haha XD the english version of it is rather sweet too, though the lyrics follow the jap meaning quite well haha. i'll post the english version in another post bah lol this one's a bit too long already XD

Thailand Princess Cup (18th July to 21st July 2008)

XDDDDDD i'm typing this from the lobby of the hotel i'm staying at in Bangkok! XDDDDD

haha, these 3 days in Bangkok has been real funnnnn lol. though i didnt go to the night markets or stuff like that, we had our competition (points up) the Thailand Princess Cup held in guess where?! a shopping mall! haha, you can probably tell that i'm sugar high~=P

lolz~the shopping mall i'm at reminds me of Vivocity back in Singapore haha. it has like everything...from stuff that are real bargains to stuff that are as costly as they are in Singapore. but one thing that is forever cheaper over here is their...FOOD!!! oh food glorious food over here! haha, i havent eaten a single thing that tastes bad yet lol. i think Thailand is better suited to be called food city or smt along those lines...everything tastes good can lol. think i pretty much stuffed myself full here haha. if i return with a few more layers around my middle you can probably guess why lolz~~~

lolz~ too bad this trip is so short haha~ there're so many things to see around here...OTL oh well~~~ i'll make sure i come for the Thailand Princess Open 2010 hahah XDDDD then i'll stay longer and say more about this place haha!

the ONLY grouse i have with Thailand is that everyone speaks in Thai...OTL i cant understand a single word of wat they're saying and they cant understand a single word i'm saying...it can get on the nerves at times haha...

Songs from Kyou Kara Maou OST

lmao! i chanced upon this Kyou Kara Maou OST. guess wad?! the songs are darn cute/nice! XDDD credits to guuuu-sensei for help with translations~~~

too bad they didnt have a song for Morgif (>.<) hmm back to the point, the songs are really quite suited for the characters~ Conrad's theme song, Eternal Ring, has this really...longing feel to it...u can almost, almost, imagine him plucking petals off a rose as he sings it lmao. i want him to sing it to meeeeee~~~~ *goes into hyper fangirl mode* lol translated lyrics are below ^^

Song Title: Eternal Ring
(chorus)
Even if apart, we are connected
The friendship and deep love are
A prayer called a necklace
Resembles an eternal ring

The day we fought
The fire was burning
Until everything was burnt down
Seemingly trying to emulate my powers

With the same tears
In my heart I collected,
I wanted to extinguish that fire
Even if I was forbidden to shed a tear

The transparent blue star is
Shining the light upon our path
Even now next to me, to this heart as well
The thought continues to live within me

Crossing the time, changing its shape
The strife never seems to end
In order to end the mistakes
Is power, truly what we need?

(repeat chorus)

Blown in the wind,
At the dry town
I was able to find the one to protect
I believe that is what is called happiness

With clear eyes,
You laughed once again
Being blessed, I was born
Every life is special

With the extended finger,
A miracle please purify the world with dreams
Entrusted with the wishes from the past
Let's light the fire of peace

Crossing the time, each time I'm called
I raise my eyes and fix my collar
I wonder what you call that voice
The me now, that moves onwards

(repeat chorus)

ohoh, and Vandarvia, the island where Morgif was hidden...has its own song! lmao. sung by Yozak! so more or less u can predict...^^ the lyrics are hilarious...i shall try to translate as closely as possible...WHEN i have the time lol (yay! translated lyrics are below)

Song Title: Vandarvia no Ondo
If you fall in love with a girl from the island
Volcano of Vanda will also erupt massively
She says can't cross the ocean with you
To the sky we look up is the same old moon
Hey!
Van van Vandarvia island of dreams
Once you come you'll never ever forget

If the girl from the island cries
Vanda will splash waves on its shore
Having to pass the ridges of love
Overlooking in the ocean is the reflection of the moon
Hey!
Van van Vandarvia island of love
The second time you come you'll never be able to stay away


If the woman from the island falls in love
Vanda geysers will spray violently
You, of purity, is a traveler
A shooting star of freedom and willfulness
Hey!
Van van Vandarvia island of dreams
The third time you come you'll never go back

If the young man of the island has a dream
A boat will dock at Vanda wharf
One day to that beloved brothel girl
A rainbow bridge that you're dying to show
Hey!
Van van Vandarvia island of love
By the fourth time you come, you'll be captivated

If the couple of the island ties the knot
Vanda streets will be in full bloom with flowers
Happily and shyly sleeping together
Let us look up together at the same old moon
Hey!
Van van Vandarvia, a treasure island
Let us dance with the feeling of having a dream

and it seems to be a tradition for Anime to have a song in their OST called Yakusoku huh. lolz~ this Yakusoku of Kyou Kara Maou, promises an OVA! lolz. literally...though wat Yuuri says at the end of the song is really heart-warming...awww ^^

Song Title: Yakusoku
If wishes were to come true
We want to stay by your side,
Wherever you may go
Even if we aren't staring at each other
Let's always gaze at the same thing

Even though we can't say it or sing it right now
One day, they'll come a time when we'll meet again

See you around next time, a short promise(*)

Embracing each and every one
The air of love seeps into our chest
Warming each others hearts that's how we’ll live on

The small thoughtfulness sows the seed of happiness
Bit by bit it spreads surrounding us with a forest of happiness!

Even just by meeting someone similar
Makes you like the town and the people too

See you again always, a short promise(*)
That's why, we’ve kept it important

Just believing that you can become stronger
Breathing in the air of love that's how we’ll live on

When you find a little of tomorrow, the hope and the peace and the happiness
The first person you’ll want to tell is the person that you love

See you around next time a short promise(*)
Embracing each and every one
The air of love seeps into our chest
Warming each others hearts let us come closer to each other

See you again always, a short promise(*)
That's why, we’ve kept it important
Just believing that you can become stronger
Breathing in the air of love
That's how we stubbornly live on

(Spoken by Yuuri)
I know there's no such thing as a
“Forever” in this world
That's why
We'll make a promise
Let's hook our little fingers
To swear to meeting again
Then, you see
It warms up your heart
It becomes lighter
It should make you believe that we're connected
Don't worry
If there isn't a “forever”
Then we won't be separated forever
We'll meet again some day
Let's meet again with a smile
When that time comes, I too will
Greet everyone with a big smile and say that
"I'm home."
(End of spoken portion)

Throughout the world, see
A promise made
Don't get lost anymore come over here

(*)direct translation, I have no idea what it means)
suggestion from guuu-sensei: a promise that would soon be fulfilled ^^

Crisis Core and Skip Beat 18 reviews

well, once again, Skip Beat! has left me speechless with the progression of the storyline in book 18. lolz! i shall state this once again...NAKAMURA-SENSEI OWNS! lolz! well, for the benefit of Taicho, i shall review Crisis Core first, wait later u accuse me of spoilers =x lolz~~~

now, on to Crisis Core! XD this is arguably the first Final Fantasy game that i've fallen for so badly =x well, Final Fantasy X/X2 kept me busy for jus a while, but i never really liked them...(mainly coz the main character is...a girl?) lolz~ also, i had a major grudge against turn-based RPGs then, coz they jus took darn long to conclude =x (sorry to all turn-based fans out there...). now that Crisis Core utilizes real-time battle system, and the fact that it bears resemblance to Star Ocean, it rocks! lolz! the gameplay is addictive, the main character is cute and the fact that his eng voice actor is bearable makes the game a great one ^^ not forgetting the appearance of many familiar FFVII faces and bishies, this game does deserve it's 9.5/10 rating XD

the only grievance i have with Crisis Core is this. now, tell me, do the protagonists of RPGs die? no they don't. Cloud doesnt die, Tidus doesnt die, Yuuna doesnt die, heck, even Fayt from Star Ocean, Chris/Hugo/Geddoe from Suikoden and most of the RPG main characters i noe of DONT die...even in Anime and Manga, the main character is usually left with a few minor scratches etc...so why in the world did Zack die...*tears hair out* pffft. he died to save Cloud...zzz... well, not that it's a surprise, seeing as he appeared only as a phantom throughout the rest of the FFVII compilation series...but then again...it feels so...unfair that he has to die, especially during the game itself, in which he turns out to be a rather cute character who matures over time >< wad a waste...pffffft. and to think he was killed by low ranked-unskilled-useless-unknown Shinra soldiers...*mumbles in a corner* now, on to the review of Skip Beat 18! taicho, time to look away ^^

well, it is revealed that the guy Kyoko's been sent to look over is Ren's DAD! zomg. bishie father, uber bishie son!!! lolz! the guys is unbelievably young-looking...his son is already 20, and he still looks 20 himself =X lolz! Nakamura-sensei has a thing for old guys looking young (refer to Tokyo Crazy Paradise). come to think of it...Ren looks...older than his dad...*raises eyebrows* lolz...the only thing about book 18 is that it centers around Kyoko's interaction with Ren's dad (still dunno his name) and hence limiting the screen time Ren and Sho have (T_T). although for Sho, he has this reaaaaaaaaaaaally bishie picture...that's worth looking at over and over and over and over again ^^ he has obviously improved from his past image...now he looks more like an angel...*stares at picture* whatever happened to his bad-boy image?! lolz! well, overall comments for the book. 1. Sho is prettier now. 2. Kyoko's becoming cuter. 3. Ren's dad is enuf bishie power for one book, so Ren can take a break for now. (for now and now only) =x 4. a little too wordy, but well, it goes to show that Skip Beat isnt ur regular shallow romance manga. XD 5. Ren's dad is darn cute ^^

and that's all for now...lolz i cant really give a good review at this point, mainly coz i'm still swimming in my fangirlness over Skip Beat ^^ chao~
