Hi!!

2007-09-15T19:13:28Z

i spent some time thinking about this.

i first started LJ-ing to get in touch with the many comms around.
but now, i'm just too detached from all those groups i used to associate with.

a series of things have happened.
i think i'm finally ready to pack up my life and go.
i love my hobbies, but i just want to focus on other stuff now.

but dear friends, i'll still be following you guys. :)
(so don't remove me off your friends list just yet!)

and i'll be back!!

ps. i made 99% of my posts public.

this happens everytime i buy FOOLS.

oh goodness, eros-kirito. how can a man be so sexy with words?
that person seriously has the magic to suck you into his world of screwed up values. geh.

in other news, angelo is showing signs of visual-ism again. kirito admits he's doing it just for the attention (like who isn't?) cause angelo's technically a new band. but of course, he can't do what the other youngsters are doing even if he wanted to, says eros-sama. might as well. *shudders at the thought of oshare-kirito*

by now, just about the whole world knows how enamoured i am by his persona. i can't stress that enough. it's not just the music, it's definitely not the looks.

alright now, on to the slightly more exciting bit...!!

i know it's a sin to mutilate tour merchandise, but i thought the back of this tank top was so ugly things couldn't get any worse.
(if you ignore far-fetched theories about how fans are like knights of their idols.)

the front untouched.

the back completely mutilated and cheesified.

Q: so why is the design so cheesy?
A: because ANGELO is cheesy. (seriously, with a name like that?) i hope age isn't catching up with kirito, although kirakira!oyajis can be sexy.

Q: but why doesn't it complement the black version in terms of art style?
A: white doesn't exactly complement black either. i thought it'd be ok. besides, i conceived the idea in a dusty hotel in Nagoya less than an hour after the live. i'd think the angelo "feel" was still pretty much around then.

whee! got hold of my dad's casio digicam today and took a picture of kikkun's room. it's a little bigger than before, and hopefully better looking! ^o^

i'm quite proud of the clothes rack idea, if you ignore how it makes kikkun look like he's sitting in a wardrobe. but whatever. XD; clothes are meant for hanging anyway. (my dad helped me install it! ^_^)

on random note, having a SD card reader in MI-CHA is sheer utter love. but unfortunately, the casio exfilm using the SD card is not. D:

heeeeeh.

i shall go angst now in my happygreencoloured diary.

i just found out that my favourite gouk cutsew (incidentally also my only one) bloods and sheds colour. onto itself. it's an angsty lump hanging on a bamboo pole now. i think i really want to cry now because i like it more than any piece of h.naoto i've ever seen. (maybe it's just retribution for me dumping h. though it's t-kunitomo which caught my eye in the first place, not h.naoto.) and the one day i wore it i got to hug a really cute deer, which made me like it even more.

though on second thought, i think i might go to bed before i find more things to angst about.

sheepish

how i try to look busy while at work. =x

kind of a weird picture, yes i know.
not the hot/cute/slashy kind people would like to see. sigh. (*is teh useless*)
(do people even know what i'm drawing?)

don't ask me why i'm drawing such... downright weird stuff, ok? ._.

超ヒマ～～！！！

2007-05-04T07:28:17Z

was being geek and reading up on all the shinsengumi members (since i'm so free in the office) and omg.

all peacemaker fans would have heard about hijikata-san's horrible poems.

well, they're all true. ._.
he really did write things like "梅の花一輪咲いても梅は梅".

D:D:

and yeah. lots of interesting / touching stories about the shinsengumi people.

The Thanks:
1. many thanks to erushi for saving my butt at the last minute when i couldn't finish sewing the 3 ~~bloody~~ coats ._.
2. many thanks and an equal amound of apologies to kamimura for letting us ~~abuse~~ borrow your zai photography + photoshop skills. (and yuuya's cute-angsty-zen-ness.)
3. much worship to aversofmelody for being our Artistic Director of the day. (and teaching kiku how to cross his legs!! T___T)
4. the Higher Power(s) for not letting it rain on the day of photoshoot. T________T

i need a new year's post!

2007-01-01T18:47:13Z

um. checking back on lj i realise i didn't have one last year either. i spent most of december last year pinching myself over kiku -- is he really for REAL? i got him so smoothly and angst-freely it didn't even feel right.

so 1 year has past, and 2006 has been rather uneventful for me. my only achievement might be getting off my lazy butt and starting on german classes. (and i am truly glad because of the eye candy i met XD; ) but once again, i spent new year thinking about kiku.

when i re-did his face up in december, i just fell in love with the f-16 mould all over again. i always feel kind of bad, because unlike most of you, i am too poor to buy clothes for him. it makes me feel like he's been wasted on me because f-16s deserve so much more love. right now i'd like to start selling doll clothes to but... it doesn't feel enough. kiku's own clothes are never enough. my sewing's come a long way from the days i honestly didn't know that cloth had direction (supplies!!) but it still doesn't feel enough. not. good. enough. i am such a greedy person. it really feels like a criminal waste of a f-16 to sit him in a dark cupboard with no new clothes, no new wigs, no new shoes, no new eyes, and no zai photography to present him well. ._. (or maybe i am just being neurotic.)

so that's 1 year i spent angsting over a lump of resin (and myself), and i hope 2007 will be a more fulfiling year. i can sense that something is going to change in my life and i only hope that it is for the better. i need to be more brave. i need to change.

thank You for putting up with me for the year, and i swear that i will try to make myself less of a public nuisance this year. and angst a little less, hopefully.

Cédric Durand, son of a bourgeois cloth merchant.
Stéphane de la Tour d'Auvergne, son of a minor aristocratic lord.

We were friends since childhood, sharing all joy and sorrow.

But now he has turned a deaf ear upon my words?

Does he not see, that we no longer have time for this aged tyranny?

Let liberty have its turn to unveil our eyes for tomorrow.

Let equality have its turn to bring us level ground.

Let fraternity have its turn to care for brothers of lesser birth.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité, ou la mort.
Torrents of time only push ahead, and all that awaits he who does not believe is--

＊～楽屋～＊～Ｂａｃｋｓｔａｇｅ　Ｓｐｅｃｉａｌ～＊

Merry Christmas, and Thank You!

For Stéphane's Story...

today i decided to finally get off my lazy ass and rearrange my sewing basket 1 of 2 to make it neater. which includes untangling all the stray threads around and...!!

i think i made erushi positively horrified. ^^;;

and best part of all? i have no black thread.

i am teh rock! yeah!

still on the same song...

warning: boring photos ahead.
well, it was a boring trip, so.

day1: we looked at rocks. and the sea. i spent forever trying to get a nice shot of sea-spray then realised it was near-impossible.

day2: we looked at more rocks. and visited this dingy tourist trap up the hills which i didn't get any nice photos of.

all the stone you see is just waiting to be chipped off and polished before it becomes marble.

day3: visited some indigenous cultural village blah blah, tried taking photos of half nekkid young men in miniskirts with tassels on their butts dancing things that send your brain into the gutter but alas! the lighting was so bad you can't make much out.

so i offer you an hawaiian-styled sunset taken from the bus.

day4: the day i bought souvenirs!!

we rode on a small and rather "reliable" looking train to this dingy little place with cows, cute cows.

day5: back to taipei, went to the gu gong museum which has some of china's greatest artworks ever. but photography wasn't allowed.

so you'll have to make do with the taiwanese version of yasukuni jinja. we basically went there just to look at the guard's shift changing ceremony, which was pathetic cauase there're only 4 in each shift anyway. noone cares about WWII so it was meaningless.

day5 is also the fateful day my mother bought a hugeass painting which was probably what made the manager decide that our luggage can NOT fit onto the flight. ^^;;

summary: lots of time spent on the tour bus. singaporeans only want to shop. and on top of that, there's far too much tourist trap shopping. i'd say we didn't have enough time with rocks or the fields or ANY TIME at all with the maple leaves. or the museum. oh, but there's too much temple and shrine and other divinity rubbish i don't care about.

gah. i suspect that reading english mystery novels has made me lazy. there's my undone drawing which i fear i will have to bring to taiwan, and art supplies which need to be bought or conjured.

i don't want to go to taiwan. i forsee a royal waste of 7 days. gah. and drawing in a dimly lit hotel room is bad for eyes too. *sulks*

opencavas-- english version or japanese version!? english is version 4, japanese is 4.5-- at the same price! but english is easier to use, i think. >_>;;

ETA: i finally finished my 1st christmas card this year. D: hope i can finish 2 more before leaving for taiwan. >_>

watercolour + paper cutting + shiny nail fake-rhinestones =D (i'm usually too boring /lazy for things like that.)
*bloats up like a puffer fish!*

the internet = one big hole.

some things will always seem like mysteries of life to me.

1. how can a person learn a music piece just by listening?
(this is One Big Mystery to me. i think music is something i will never "get". but then again, i suspect myself to be clinically tonedeaf.)

2. how on earth can a person remember hundreds of songs? magic?

does it work like go, i wonder? i mean, it seems like magic how some people can replay entire games but it's really not that hard. (it only gets magical when they still remember it after months, or when they seem to remember every single score they've seen. madness!)

i think the human memory is so fascinating. if only i could grow some kind of special skill for remembering gender in german nouns, now that would be nice.

1.44kbps died after that, but it was fun making this video anyway.

ah, days of Youth!!!

coffee!!!

2006-10-19T10:17:52Z

so pretty. *___*
i wonder if we have a cafe that serves coffee like this in singapore? T_T (i recall a postcard that had some coffe art a while ago... the tagline was something about fresh coffee for 10 years? but do they serve coffee like that i wonder. ah.)

ETA: i found a list of japanese cafes selling design cappuccino!! *____* here.

geh.

uni/scholarship/internship apps are driving me mad. so i need to like, humour myself.

and for my desperation to get into keio, i also need a backup plan-- SMU.
problem is, how "back-up" is my back-up? =|
SMU doesn't seem to have information on applicant:accepted ratio and that's a little worrying. (and i stupidly forgot to ask at their university talk. orz)
they also seem to be very concerned about CCA. =| and my CCA record = crap.
so, anyone actually knows what kind of students make it? >_>;;

and i think the whole world knows, but i really, really, really don't want to go to NUS. i assume most people have had better experiences with them, but i will not study in a school that insults me dammit. and they had to insult my japanese, of all things. so i'd better find myself a place elsewhere. grr.

uh. i realise i'm flooding my friends list but i must blog about this.

from a EDB brochure:

look, i ate the world! it's living in me now!

wtf. someone at edb has been reading too much yuki kaori or something. i hope it's not just me. *shudders*

my soul, SOLD! watching angelo makes me feel desperate!!!!!! to go to japan.

kiku NEEDS a white grey-chalkstriped suit skinny cut peaked colar single black button. i'm guessing the pants are pleated. (and zomg kirito has a damn nice butt.)

ok i need to go buy sphagetti now. i love angelo. being able to see more of kohta and takeo really makes me happy because i think they deserve it. i usually like the rythmn team of any band anyway, pierrot is the exception. ^^;;

ETA: i'm never going to finish my UCAS essay. muuuurgh.

after being such a wonderful darling for 6 years, i have this feeling that poor shou-kun's getting alzheimer's.
T_T finally got it operational after restarting 5 times, and it isn't a virus. *pouts*
(some divine power is telling me to leave him alone and study, i swear.)

gah. *is sad*
but on the bright side, i've been planning for his retirement since i got him so i won't be too badly hit even if the C-drive randomly crashes some day. *is still sad*

anyway, why i have been cramming for prelims, kikkun. pooor thing, him.

engrish = teh sexeh.

i shall stop angsting, in order not to waste the money our dear gah-men spent on me.
i'll go on being cool, thankyou.

speaking of cool, pretty boys are cool but ge tai is not.

oh yes, scans are cool and photos are not.
from yesterday, because i felt like it.
(meaning, i felt like drawing falling hair and failed miserably.)

a few things...

Dear xxxxx,

i think it is about time you got me new clothes. and you know, singapore river is a good place and.... yes. new clothes. also, please, for the love of ~~god~~ your neighbours stop torturing me with that bloody piano which is f*cking out of tune. you should also be less antisocial and read lj properly and leave some bloody comments to all those lovely photos. can you please stop pretending to be busy, no?

with love and my heart for you,
KIKU
ps. remember, it's kamimura's birthday! wish her a happy belated birthday or something!
