Borrowed the MCR black parade cd from my god-mortal jinghan. LOVE IT XD.
the more i listen to the lyrics the less sadistic i find it.actually certain bits here and there are really meaningful.. and cheem. and the earcandy! guitarrr. i just find one particular song disturbing. "mama".

pokefreak's gonna anounce the naruto ng results either tonight or tomorrow. can't wait to see the winners. must be an awesome design .

been drawing way too many bishies lately.. too much influence from hanakimi. ><
haha nicole. the wu zun fall in thing was damn funny XD
and Dashu is hilarious. everyone thought he could "piao" but it turned out he just used a skateboard. haha. Dashu rocks! XD
sheryl keeps saying wu zun's face looks like a banana. haha man sheryl. not that bad la..
and jiro looked way more girl than ella during ep 6(or 7).the one where he dressed up as a nurse.. yangyang looked weird. but Dashu looked the best! hahaha. the long hair and hanfu outfit.

okay. enough hanakimi.or ill just go on and on and on and on and ....
oyes. MY DEAR SHARAN MAHTANI, CHECK YOUR CALENDAR LAAAA. -_- one week early. haha. but thanks anyway- for remembering :]

swim capt requested that i do a design for a shirt.. for fundraising on ORA. being sent for approval on monday. should be $10 if its short sleeve. please support us! and fash clus sec 2 will be setting up a henna stall and a food stall. i think. support! : ]


anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JINYU! nian nian you yu. if you want something specific tell me. or ill just churn somethign out for you : ] oh. and xielunyan. i havnt forgotten about your giftart ^^

sometimes i wonder what things would be like, had i joined apsc from young. i would have met jiao lian earlier. possibly be at a different satndard now. or i could have ended up in synchro. synchro is COOL. and rather difficult too. imagine treading water for a minute with weights on your ankles and a bucket of water above your head. everything has its pros and cons. but sometimes you just wonder.. ya know.? like, wonder what cca you wouldve ended up in if you werent a dsa er. or like, how different things wouldve been if you were in a different class, or what life would be like if you didnt have training every single freakin day. wonder about all the things you could do if you didnt have such a time taking commitment.
.

anyway. gotta go. update again soon.

sing for me.




(italian. i think )

CANTA PER ME.

canta per me ne addio
quel dolce suono
de' passati giorni
mi sempre rammenta

la vita dell'amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addagio...

tempra la cetra e canta
il inno di morte
a noi si schiude il ciel
volano al raggio

la vita dell'amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addio...


TRANS :

Sing for me farewell
that sweet sound
of the past days
it always remember me

the life of the love
beloveds of my heart
oh happy, you my soul
sing slowly...

strenghten your lyre and sing
the hymn of death
the sky opens to us
they fly to the ray(1)

the life of the love
beloveds of my heart
oh happy, you my soul
sing farewell...


yuki kajiura, awesomeness.

hips dont lie. and many other history ramblings.SHIPPUDEN~~~

okay, so i just read leena's blog. :X
DISCLAIMER. THE FOLLOWING STUFF HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF LEENA'S BLOG. XD

sharan and vidya's hips dont lie. -look below-

sharan: "Ohhh Farquhar(pronounced fark er) when you talk like thaaat!"
vidya: "RAFFLES, you make me go maaaad!"

this is what happens.. when Raffles left Farquhar, to go to some other place, and then he came back, and found S'pore the opposite of how he wanted it to be and got mad at Farquhar.

Farquhar:"Where'd you go? I miss you so..."
Raffles:"Because of you! I never stray too far from the sidewalk!"
Farquhar:"Since you've been gone! I can't breathe for the first time!!"

ROFL. XD

-----
It's a spoof of the real thing.
Raffles and a Farquhar were walking out of this forest. Then they spotted this island opposite.

R: What's the name of that grotty island?
F: I don't know!
Then raffles sees this Malay woman and says:
R: OH LOOK! FOREIGNERS! HEY! HI! WHAT'S THE NAME OF THAT GROTTY LITTLE ISLAND? *points to that island*
The woman didn't understand and asked in Malay,
W: What?
R: *rolls eyes* WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT LITTLE GROTTY ISLAND?!
W: What do you want? (In Malay)
R (very slowly): WHAT-IS-THE-NAME-OF-THAT-FREAKING-GROTTY-ISLAND??!
Just then, a Punjabi man runs up to the malay and steals the clothes that she was washing!
W: SINGH! GA-PORE!!! *points to man* (it actually means 'Singh stole my clothes!')
But Raffles didn't understand (Raffles is supposed to understand in the real thing.)
R: OHH! THAT GROTTY LITTLE ISLAND IS SINGAPORE!!!!

------
ROFL. leena's blog is hilarious.
i SWEAR she has recorder ears. XD
dont know how she manages to remember everything tthe teachers say.
XD
GIVE ME YOUR EARS, LEENA! : D


------
SIX DAYS TO SHIPPUDEN!. though theyre still delaying the main plot. by 3 episodes.haha

SPOILER WARNING.

shippuden
episode one "homecoming"
-basically showing off the characters in their new costumes.

episode two. " akatsuki makes its move"
-Having become Genin, Konohamaru's team is assigned to Ebisu and carrying out D-Rank missions. Konohamaru really doesn't want to do them, and his argumentativeness reminds Iruka of Naruto long ago. In the midst of all this, Jiraiya and Naruto return to Konoha from their training journey, Jiraiya bringing top-secret information stating that Akatsuki are beginning to make their move.

episode three " results of the training "
-Kakashi can sense Naruto and Sakura's development, and decides to use his Sharingan. Sakura, as a medical ninja, has also inherited Tsunade's killer techniques, and she and Naruto chase after Kakashi. Meanwhile, a member of Akatsuki, Deidara, begins to infiltrate the Sand Village.
[HECK YEAH ! DEIDARA APPEARS!]

episode four "jinchuuriki of the sand"
-Gaara discovers Deidara's infiltration and the two begin to battle, a fierce air battle with Deidara on a massive bird and Gaara on his sand. All the while, thanks to the machinations of Yuura, a member of the Sand Village who has become Akatsuki's subordinate, the village is thrown into chaos. Meanwhile, in Konoha, Naruto and Sakura's survival test continues. With dawn as their time limit, the two begin to make their strategy.

thats all for now. so basically theyre getting on to the main plot. but they added in bits here and there.
i wonder if the anime shippuden naruto will have a jiraiya-like alter ego. freaky. haha.but highly possible.

they showed a lead up to shippuden in 220. ino asks sakura to bring her to tsunade. so she can train to be a medic too.
and there was this bit where tenten was sparring with lee and shouting madly at him cause she was the only one who was left out of the mission. then lee got distracted and tenten kicked his face. poor lee.

haha. anyway. temari looks great! and konohamaru. HE LOOKS NICE LAAA. XD
cant wait to see NEJI!
NEJINEJINEJINEJINEJINEJI XD

anyway. Tian's buying skirts for CNY!
i shall psycho her into wearing one on friday.
fwahahaha.
shall get liqing and yelin to psycho her too.

and sorry about that day tian : [

anyway. heres a song : ]

shimmer.



She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
Can she take me for awhile
Can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
Or maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend

We're here and now, will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools that fall behind,
And I'm somewhere between
Never really know
A killer from a savior
'Till I break at the bend

We're here and now, will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

It's to far away for me to hold
To far away....
(Verse x6)

Guess I'll let it go....

To Kill A Mockingbird

If theres any book character that i respect,
it's Atticus Finch.
hands down.
That guy's got one helluva character.
And the whole Trial bit and stuff was really moving.
espescially those things that he says that makes you realise a whole lot of stuff,
and the feeling you get in your gut when you think about the words and find that you have been like the people in the jury, the people in maycomb, or passed judgement on someone when you barely know them.
Even being biased because of race.
Atticus knew his case would lose, yet he still did his best for Tom.
really not much to say.
except, hats off to you.


yay. 1004 views on DA. skipped the 1000th unfortunately.
1000 more to my goal for new year's resolution.
hopefully ill exceed it
shall do some giftarts XD





What's the hook, the twist within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it
that the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out
Without hope We're the empty set just floating through wrapped, in skin,
Ever searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go...
who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?

THE BLOWER'S DAUGHTER.



lovely song, full of emotions. fell in love with it after travis danced it on so you think you can dance.


DISCLAIMER : rant post. if it makes you pissed, its your fault for reading. rawr.

anyway if you havnt noticed, my mood's been pretty bad since thursday. if you didn't you probably didnt talk to me, or i stayed away from you. why am i pissed? i dont know. maybe im just sick and tired of doing the same thing over and over again, and not being able to do what i want.

I went for physio rehab on saturday morning. my shoulder was clicking like crazy. i could make it click four times just by rolling it. so sylvia (my physio) helped me ultrasound it, actually both shoulders. then she tried to make me do the excercises, which i couldn't really do because of the pain. believe me, it hurt like shit. thereafter, sylvia helped me to press and release the muscles on my neck and back. you know that spot on your shoulder blade that hurts like hell when pressed properly? the muscle there was super stiff, so she had to press harder, and longer. the worst part is that you dont feel the pain at your shoulder blade, you feel it in the shoulder tendon, which was already crazy painful. Then we attempted to do the excersises again, but i only managed to do one of them. so she pressed my neck for me. which was about just as bad as the shoulder pressing. stayed a total of one hour and fifteen minutes there. according to uncle peng siong, i have two knots at my neck.

went to eat lunch with my dad on the way home. i couldnt even close the car door la. happily eating, until about 3/4 through my ham and mushroom spaghetti, a headache had to hit . dammit. it added to the pain in my neck and shoulder.

vanessa + shoulder pain + headache + neck pain = really pissed off vanessa with zero tolerance level.

if anyone ever dares to say that shoulder injuries aint not big deal or that rehab isnt painful , i will PERSONALLY make sure they injure their own shoulder and let them see how it feels like. the mentel pain's much worse than the physical. believe me.

had a two hour long nap after that. went for tuition then training. ate two ice creams on the way to cool off.
it started raining around 420. cheered me up a bit. celebrated jiao lian's birthday after training, so i tried my best not to be that moody. hahas. aunty cynthia's cooking is really good. the pork ribs pwned. <3

reached home approx around 830. parents went out, so i went online till around midnight. my CRAZY table tian yuan cheered em up a bit with her craziness. and SUAN-ed me so many times. ><

started feeling better after watching a few hanakimi episodes. ahahaha.

thats all for the ranting for now.

I DONT LOVE YOU by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE.

Well when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you like I did yesterday"?

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you down and out
It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you like I did yesterday"?

Well come one, come on

When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you like I loved you yesterday"?

I don't love you like I do yesterday

I don't love you like I loved you yesterday
since my TABLE TIAN YUAN has stopped suaning me, i shall blog. since im bored too.
today was jiao lian's birthday celebration. the real day's the 25th.

i still want their older albums. and newer ones too. including the singles.
i only have 'fanclub'.
but their albums are so frikkin amazingly hard to find in singapore.
SELL GOOD MUSIC DAMMIT.


Tightrope

Like snow that has melted and dances in the sky
There are things that aren't connected
There are things that disappear as you count sheep

It's a melody so beautiful that it's sad

Even as the time passes
My memories won't fade
I'm clutching them in my right pocket
And they've been smooshed

I'm lonely
On the nights when the world cries
And I'm soaked
As I cry, too

Somehow it didn't get away
But is secretly attached to my heart

Reach out and search for a place with meaning
This place you've lost sight of is just the start
Isn't it
タイトロープ

雲が溶けて空で舞うように
繋がらないこと
羊達を数える間になくしてしまうもの

悲しいほど綺麗なメロディ

時が経っても想いはまだ
色褪せないけど
右ポケットで握りしめて
グチャグチャになったよ

寂しくてさ
世界が泣いた夜
ズブ濡れでさ
僕も泣いたよ

どうか抜け出さないで
そっと心に繋いで ねぇ

手を伸ばして意味の在処を探して
見失った此処が始まりだよね
そうだね
Tightrope

Kumo ga tokete sora mau you ni
Tsunagaranai koto
Hitsujitachi wo kazoeru ma ni nakushite shimau mono

Kanashii hodo kirei na MERODI

Toki ga tattemo omoi ha mada

Migi POKETTO de nigirishimete
Gucha gucha ni natta yo

Sabishikute sa

Have i ever mentioned how MUCH i really, really really, want COPIC markers?
*hint hint*
find em in KINOKUNIYA or ART FRIEND. XD
lets see. they cost around $6 each, sooooo.
12 for $72.
24 for $144.
48 for $288
72 for $432.
insanely expensive, no?
heres the worst part.
THERES 322 COLOURS.
yes, THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO.
for the sketch markers at least.
dont get me started on the other one.

PROS --
they come in three sizes, regular, sketch and wide.
nibs are replaceable.
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO FREAKING COLOURS.
theyre square, so they dont roll off tables.
refillable. refills are approx the same price as an actual marker.
the cap shows the actual colour.
the clear blender comes in a litre bottle. cost approx $10, refills about 30 times.


CONS --
INSANELY EXPENSIVE.
i shall repeat myself.
12 for $72.
24 for $144.
48 for $288
72 for $432.
and remember,
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO FREAKING COLOURS.

rather hard to find. theyre japan imports.


and now i talk about PRISMA COLOURS.

PROS.
--175 colors
--Easier to find
--Round so they're comfortable to hold a few in your hand at a time
--Cheaper: 3 dollars a marker

Cons:
--capillary ink feed (the big end gets all the ink and the small end dries out pretty much the first time you use it.
--Not as many colors
--Bad color selection for brown and skin tones
--NOT refillable
--The nibs break and get worn down pretty easily and when they do you're screwed, you have to buy another marker.
--Labels have nothing to do with the color inside it, half the time they're either darker or lighter
--End stickers fall off so you can't tell what it is until you get it out onto the table
--Smellier than Copic
--The black marker is based on brown and doesn't look good with the grey set; it also blends brown and just looks very strange with all the other colors. I have no clue why that is! If you spray it with fixative it will bleed brown.

got this prismacolour part off hydestock.deviantart.com 's journal.

so there you have it, a post ranting about markers.

damn. now im seriously depressed. -_-""



HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SHIN!

ワールドアパート

世界の果てから街へ飛ぶ
限りない時代のアイデア
砂嵐の夜に加速して
気づいたら此処は何処か

即席の歌で舞い踊る
実態のない未来と愛の輪
僕たちの日々のささやかな願いすら
夢のようだよ
僕の両手にはこれだけだよ
心の中に革命を

遠く向こうで
ビルに虚しさが刺さって
六畳のアパートの現実は麻痺した

目を塞いで
僕は君を想い描いて
想像の世界で君も全部なくして
分かったよ

僕の両手にはこれだけだよ
君の両手にはそれだけだろ
目蓋の奥に浮かぶイメージで
心の中に革命を

遠く向こうで
ビルに虚しさが刺さって
六畳のアパートの現実は麻痺した

目を塞いで
僕は君を想い描いて
想像の世界で君も全部なくして
分かったよ
World Apart

I'm flying from the end of the earth straight into town
I get the idea that time is endless
Accelerating through the night, in a sandstorm
notice, I don't know where I am

Dancing to an impromptu song
Making a ring between love and a future that holds no truth
Even the meager wishes we make daily
Are just like dreams

This is all I've got right now
Is a revolution raging in my heart

Far, far away from here
Futility is piercing through the buildings
And the only reality in this 6 mat apartment is that I'm numb

I cover my eyes
And I create an image of you
And in my imagination, I realize
You're missing everything, too

This is all I've got right now
And that's probably all you've got
And with the image that's floating in the back of my mind
There's a revolution raging in my heart

Far, far away from here
Futility is piercing through the buildings
And the only reality in this 6 mat apartment is that I'm numb

I cover my eyes
And I create an image of you
And in my imagination, I realize
You're missing everything, too


once again, gotou masafumi never ceases to amaze me.

And I want to, to surrender
I want you to see all the sides
All the faces inside of me

I see I'm not perfect, but that's all I see
Lost in a portrait, in a picture of me
This can't be everything I see
That my canvas is incomplete
Your color's everything to me
And my canvas will set me free

My outline is solid and made up of crime
And the things that you say just burn in my eyes
I want to, to surrender
I want you to find some comfort
In the spaces between the lines ")

What song will they play at your funeral?
BLACKOUT by asian kung fu generation
("My memories fly through the dark clouds, bursting and disappearing in the desert
And the images of the future approach on the glowing plasma TV

The Koi on the chopping board is reminded of sleep
And the images of the future approach on the glowing plasma TV
The rain that doesn't stop is jumping off the eaves, mixed with my loneliness
With the push of a button, I imagine the approaching future

Even if my two black eyes shine in the night
Until they're no longer drowned out
They'll boil away under the blazing sun, like the winter's snowy fields
And the feeling in your skin will weaken
But don't forget me

Now, since the lamplight is quietly disappearing
You'll find out
That as I stand still here
My weakness and inexperience will chase me through my days

321, The news is complicated, I don't know the truth
The birth of this present situation and of the illusions, of tomorrow and of it's footsteps
321, Emotions are running wildly, and reality wants to flee
Imagination and delusion mix, and things are brushed aside

Even if it's you who flaps your arms weakly
Until the present is no longer drowned out
It'll boil away under the blazing sun, like the winter's snowy fields
And the feeling in your skin will weaken
But don't forget me

Open a great distance
And the world melts
The end and the beginning blur blue
In the flowing tears
But the pain is weak

Now, since the lamplight is quietly disappearing
You'll find out
That as I stand still here
My weakness and inexperience will chase me through my days
Over and over, it seems"

Dirty little secret. by the all american rejects.

"Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping thoughts won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out"


How can I make myself happy?
Alone saiyuki end theme one.
("A dry breeze is blowing
The city is getting cold
I wonder how many seasons have passed
without even a sound?

All of the people coming and going
bear heavy burdens,
searching for tomorrow
within the heat haze wavering in the distance.

Feelings like sand
falling through my hands...
Back then, the words that pierced my heart
suddenly started to throb with pain, but...

I've searched for pieces of myself,
counting the endless nights all the while.
These feelings are becoming so certain
I almost lose myself.
Right now, without fail, I will walk forward, however far.

I wonder, why is the sky
so vast?
Even though I tried to yell, my voice didn't come
and the tears poured out.

I wonder where the birds are flying off to,
as they freely slice through the wind?
One can't return to the same place
as it once was in days gone by.

Even if I give up my dream like this,
I won't suppress my soaring heartbeat.
Someday, I want to reach
as high as the clouds. [1]
I'll spread wide the wings in my heart and journey once again

I will reach it, without fail.

I've searched for pieces of myself,
counting the endless nights all the while.
These feelings are becoming so certain
I almost lose myself.
Right now, without fail, I will walk forward, however far"

once again, jap translation : ))
