And when I leave the exam room, the stupid words won't STOP repeating in my head, over and over again.... I'm like, so where was this when I needed it like 15 mins ago??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. Just... just fuck it.

The only bright side to my day is that I've won two prizes in the halloween etsy maine team scavenger hunt. A pair of earrings and a necklace. The earrings I'm okay with, but the necklace looks really cool, there's a copper bear pierced out and soldered to a silver moon and it's SHINEY. It's not like I can't make these pieces by myself, but it's cool to win something I guess.

I still hate my life. *Pouts over exam fail*

Then I realised it was probably a good thing I did forget because: 1. My mom has so many things to do and pay for I won't be having a party. 2. My friends are all mugging for A levels 3. I myself am too busy 4. The worst part, I have an exam on the day.

*SIGH*

The only class i didn't like was the last one on friday. We sat and did stippling non stop for TWO effing hours, ugh. My right shoulder is still aching. I only looked up from my work once or twice because we had an insanely large amount of picture to stipple. *Groan* The teacher apparently claims this class will teach us to market ourselves... Um... Maybe that'll begin next week? I fail to see how trace-stippling pictures have anything to do with marketing. -_- We'll be doing stippling for seven weeks according to him... D: THE HORROR!!!

And I didn't like the teacher very much either, perhaps this'll change but I doubt it, my intuition is very accurate when it comes to teachers. Even if I'm the only one who dislikes the particular teacher, generally by the end of the year, with no input from me whatsoever, most of the class follows suit. Weirdly enough, this also applies to teachers everyone hates but I like, vice versa. I say weirdly because I'm pretty much a loner... Soooo whatever triggers this change, it isn't me.

I have a project on Mesopotamia and the bookworm in me is practically squirming in joy! I shall sound the charge! TO THE LIBRARY!!!

My mom's been in a traditional mood lately, so she's been making yumm goodies like black ginger vinnegar and pig trotters, barley water with egg and pandan, chicken essence and burdock...

*Sighs in content* My tummy is very happy...

The picture's are taken with my aunt's super awesome pro camera so they are waaaaaay better than the one's I've been using to post on DA. Although there doesn't appear to be a zoom function for the basic account users, so it isn't as nice as it should be. Oh well.

Anywho, drop by and tell me what you think. My friend designed the banner for me! It's sooooo sparkly! *_* She says it's a work in progress and I can't wait to see how she makes it even better! <3

Drop by if you can, and if you have feedback for me, that's even better! (If you actually want to buy something my gratitude will be endless!)

XD My mom is hillarious.

Ok, so here's what happened. My mom is a property agent and today, she got a call from one of her clients asking if she was going to the house today. She said no and asked why.

He told her he'd found something experimental in the house he'd bought. Since he was a developer, he'd never inspected the house before, just the land and today he was checking out the house to see what needed to be done before demolition.

So my mom said, well, the property is officially yours as of today so you can just throw it away.

He replied that he was superstitious so he didn't dare to.

By this time my mom was wondering what the heck he'd found exactly... She said she would go over and see. The poor guy was overcome with relief and thanked her profusely. XD

So my mom got my dad to drive her and they headed to the place. The thing the owner had discovered was lurking in one of the wardrobes. Unfortunately, it was partly obstructed with stuff. Any way, my mom took a look and saw this thing in a jar. It had the word 'biohazard' printed on it and there was this fetus looking thing suspended in greenish yellow liquid. (My dad who was with her got so freaked out he started praying in tongues, I kid you not. OH MY GAWD... XXXXDDDD) (She showed me a picture when she told me the story, and from the back, it really did look seriously creepy.)

My mom was wondering what it could be, she thought it might be a fetus or something but there wasn't an umbilical cord. Since she thought it was human, and it had the words biohazard on it, she thought there might be some procedure to dispose of it. She wasn't sure what had to be done, etc. She was also wondering if maybe it came from a science lab and a student had stolen it or something, or if someone aborted a kid and hid it there... (SERIOUSLY MOM!? XD)

She told the owner she had to ask the police in case and they might ask him questions. He was like, 'Yeah yeah, definitely, should call the police.'

So she drove to a nearby police station and asked an officer what was to be done...

They asked her who had keys to the house, how many times she'd been in it, why she hadn't found it before, etc... She told them she'd been marketing it for over a year now, she couldn't remember the number of times exactly, and only just sold it April 20th. And that since then she'd only been in it once more. Only two others besides her had the key, namely the owner and his brother. Since she was selling the land, nobody looked at the interior of the house itself, just the shape of the land and so forth.

So they told her they would have to send a car down and see, and she asked if they meant to do it right away because it was almost five and there was no electricity there. They said yes so...

They also asked her if she called the police and she was like, "Um no, I'm here in the police station"

Anyway, she called the owner to inform him they'd be sending a car over. So my mom and the owner waited at the house for the police who took a long time to get there. When they did get there, it was just two people and one of them stood guard outside while the other followed her in.

When he got in the room, he reached in the wardrobe with his hand and pushed the bottle with his pen. It turned around and they got to see the front of the thing, with it's freaky, huge, ET looking eyes. The police officer said, "..." "I think it's an alien."

By which he meant, a toy of course. Jokes about how it was perfectly normal to freak out over the suspicious thing lurking there, and no, she would not be charged for pranking the police aside, my mom had to know, "Does that mean we can throw it away?"

He started looking worried again. "Um, I'll have to check with my superior." He said.

So he called his supervisor, while my mom looked on, very much amused at his extreme politeness.

"...Yes sir, thank you sir, sorry sir." Turning to my mom he told her, "My superior is going to come down."

My mom was a bit worried, after all she had a family waiting at home for dinner to be cooked. She remarked wryly to me, "I guess this is how they spend tax payers money."

So anyways, the superior came down and as the car pulled up in the driveway, the junior officers were whispering among themselves anxiously, "You got the particulars right? You took it down already?" "Yeah, I took it down already." Etc...

So the slightly higher up policeman walked in the room and greeted the officers etc and my mom. Since he was already briefed on the phone, he went to the room with the toy. Upon seeing the thing, he took a step back. Recovering, he pushed the stuff aside and reached for it, and turned it around... ]]> ~Kellviete http://Kellviete.deviantart.com/journal/25342203/ http://Kellviete.deviantart.com/journal/25342203/ Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:10:24 PDT

I've only watched the first episode. But it seems very promising, definitely something I could get into... And it's sort of like Faust. The anime shows Ciel's soul is supposed to be eaten in the end but I feel the relationship progressed too far for that, I mean the demon even said he was tired of eating souls... hmmm.

Oh and there was a review on the ending I read, trying to gauge the level of depressing it would be and I found this little suggestive tidbit: -Ciel: “Will it hurt?” Sebastian: “Yes, a little. I’ll keep it as gentle as possible." So, much, innuendo XD So did Sebastian actually take Ciel’s soul?-

If he did, I'm sure fanfiction is a balm to heal all angsty endings...

If you've never heard of it before then I urge you to go see what it's about here: [link]

And the first episode:[link]

I'm still bowled over by the awesomeness of the anime... I hope I can drag others into the fandom with me...



Another thought struck me while I watched the 6th episode... Griel is a Trans right? But he fell in 'love' with Madam Red and Sebastion both. So is there such a thing as a bisexual transexual??? And is there a specific term for it? Hmm... *Curious*

After going through the lists I also have a couple more things to add to my wish list for my birthday! My aunts always complain I never tell them what I want so this time I shall, I guess I'm a little too old to insist on being surprised...

My list so far: A piercing saw, heat gun, a glue gun...

Very practical I know...

I couldn't find any tutorials for perfume making though, I've been wanting to try that for a while... maybe I should request a tutorial. I'd like to do it from scratch and most online tutorials only show easy methods where the scent fades too quickly... I want to find something on how to extract the essential oils at home and stuff...

I went to get the last pair of batteries from my room but apparently my brothers used them for the remote control instead of getting their own batteries. Grrr. And I don't even watch the TV. The brats... And one of them has also lost the cap on my brand new bottle, I just bought the thing and they didn't ask me permission before using it. They also didn't wash it, there were ants in the damn thing! I really should be used to it by now. I:<

And I haven't eaten all day, it's nearly 6 and my fridge hasn;t anything to eat. I should go get groceries but it's unbelievably hot out there... *Wilts*

So apparently I subconsciously remembered this word in the context of what I read but not consciously. It's like, I have vocab I didn't know I had. It was sooooo freaky. And I'm still kind of weirded out about this...

I have to ask, has anyone else ever experienced this feeling before?

]]> ~Kellviete http://Kellviete.deviantart.com/journal/24437669/ http://Kellviete.deviantart.com/journal/24437669/ Sun, 26 Apr 2009 00:45:17 PDT I hobbled when I walked. So I spent the better part of saturday in bed with my trusty laptop to amuse me. I wonder if senior citizens feel this way everyday...

Then at night my neighbour's daughter was getting married so I went to attend the reception. It was a vegetarian event because the groom and his family were vegetarian, because of their religion I think. Yup. My mom told me she never realised how much of a meat eater she was until she was deprived of it. Lol. The food was okay. Considering the chef wasn't used to cooking vegetarian. After all, it was actually a seafood restaurant. The chef put far to much starch in all the gravy and the 'shark' fin soup was waaaaaaay too thick. It was quite hillarious, the soup was like, wobbling. XD

After everything, my parents and left the restaurant and walked down the stairs on the way to the car-park. The stairs were decked out with white bows for the wedding and it was the kind of ballroom type grand stairs with black marble steps. There were rose petals scattered there even. I walked down in my heels trying to ignore the pain in my legs which got worse every time I lifted them. I can't imagine what I looked like coming down the stairs in the most awkward manner, while making a face every now and then...

And towards the end of the night I for some reason started getting sharp pains in my right ear every now and then. I don't know why but it persisted 'til today and still twinges even as I type. My legs are better but I still can't sit without kneeling down first... Sigh.

On the bright side, or dark side rather, the sky is clouded over and it is raining. After days of unbearable stifling Singapore heat. I wonder if there's a reason for the smell right before it rains. I mean, I know why there's a scent when it rains, but why can I smell it before the rain starts? Hmm.

CrystallicSky, so sorry I haven't reviewed yet but your stuff is awesome! Seriously!

I have GOT to start buying my textbooks because silly me signed up for A levels as a private candidate this year with no experience in any of the subjects, signed up for my jewelry course that starts july so I've got to start cramming as much now as possible, and I've also got to find the card charge silly paypal insists I need to start my account there before I can activate that account and thus activate my artfire/etsy account.

She's a classic Indian beauty and she looked really fantastic today. She got hitched to an Italian man who was rather choked up at the reception. I mean, he cried during his speech. Then his new wife came up to support him and he went: "look at the great support I have." And, like, everybody was all, 'awww'.

Everything looked amazing, though the actual marriage happened in Australia. The wedding photos were shown in a slide show and they were unbelievable. Every single emotion was conveyed. The song choice was pretty appropriate too. I was watching it and I couldn't stop commenting on how beautifully done it was. Apparently other people agreed because they asked for it to played again during the dinner.

It was sooooo sweet. *Happy sigh...*

I must ask the bride's mom for a copy of the slide show, it was so inspirational that I really want to use it for fodder for an art project of something. I mean, it's almost enough to tempt me to try my hand at classic portrait drawing, though I know I suck at it.

The tables were plain white with white roses as the center piece, I love the dark green leaves they used. I was awfully tempted to sort of swipe one into my deceptively small looking bag. Which can carry things like an over night change of clothes or two bottles of syrup. And it totally looks like it couldn't but it does. A small basket of flowers, no problem. But I resisted. AND AM IN THE MIDST OF REGRETTING IT NOW.

The wedding, lets get back on topic. Yus, the wedding. The beginning was just nuts, there was a performance by bangala dancers and their costumes looked great. The music was exceptionally lively and vibrant. Unfortunately, the majority of the audience were comprised of us staid Singaporeans, so only a few, myself included, clapped along. I bet an indian wedding with indian attendants would be something to see.

The bride, the groom, the family and the bride's maids all wore traditional indian clothes. It was so cool. Damn it, I should have totally worn my sari too. -_-

Well, I hope I get photo's from one of my mom's friends. I brought my camera, but the darn thing ran out of juice right when I wanted to snap a shot. Argh! Someone, somewhere, is laughing at me...

This may be awful of me but the wedding completely overshadowed my brother's birthday, also today.. He had his friends over until late afternoon, but I was asleep until like 5pm. They were unusually quiet, I must say. Either that or I was dead tired... I think it was probably me. Oh well, I don't know any of his friends and I gave him lot's of presents so, meh.

OMG the wedding! I want a fake wedding. I don't wanna get married, I just want a wedding. Lol.

Watched Slumdog Millionaire yesterday. The movie was soooo long. 3 hours! And I had pins and needles afterwards... then I had class for another 3 uninterrupted hours... Then I couldn't get home till late because I had to fetch my mom and her friend home. Quick! I must play some 'wake me up music' now. Maybe I shall take a walk to the mall near by. I need caffeine and sugar. The local bakery there is divine! I love their cream puffs! Mmmmm! ^_^

Speaking of dessert, I looked for Japanese wagashi yesterday in town with my friend. I found doumyouji! Woot! I think it's called sakuramochi as well... I have been dying to try it since I read an extra to Noana Bohra's 'Sin Is Above Skin Level' - 'Hada no Ue ni furu Hana'. I am such a dork... But to my defense, it was even prettier in reality than the drawings which normally says something. I bought it and I almost couldn't eat it, it was so pretty. I ate it anyway. Mua ha ha ha. It was also extremely nummy. I loved the pickled sakura leaf, it was a little salty and the mochi was wonderfully chewy. The red bean paste was perfectly smooth, exactly the way I like it. I've heard of another wagashi specialist shop in Takashimaya mall, so I will drag my friend to check it out with me. ^_^

Maybe I wil take photos of it to show you guys... Anyone who bothers to pay attention to these things... *Shakes her miserable journal...* I'll also type up a better review of Slumdog laters.

I bought the last two volumes of Ouran High School Host Club I've been meaning to get. I mean, I've read it online already but I always buy the manga if it's available in english... Though if you ask me, the fan scanlations are miles better because of the efforts that goes into it. Like the fonts used are so varied and add to the expression of the characters, the added tidbits of info. like inside Japanese jokes are actually explained in the sub text and not to mention, the whole thing feels more Japanese than the officially translated ones. But I must do my part to support the mangaka's so they can continue working... *Sob!*

Also, scanlations are always months ahead of the officially translated works so it's like a biiiig sneak peak. Why are the professionals so slack and the amateurs so professional??? I don't get it... If I'm reading scans and buying the volumes anyway, I wish the industry would wake up and buy back scanlations from online fans instead of hiring people who only see it as a job and don't put effort into it.

Then I also bought two yaoi comics. Over in Singapore, it's hard to find these but there's been a recent trend of smaller comic stores selling yaoi volumes, from a specific publisher called June manga. Kino and Borders don't have it but the rest do. The problem is their horribly overpriced, S$22 per volume... O_O; It's fine if the story is good and the art is strong but if it isn't I get depressed. The books are all wrapped and I don't think the store owners allow browsing... Sigh.

I bought Paradise on the hill, the second book published by Momoko Tenzen whom I've been keeping an eye out for since his debut 'Seven' (Which I bought also). It was as anticipated, a lovely story line though I was a bit sad because it was definitely work safe. Ah well.

The other book... Well, let's just say, never buy La Vie En Rose. The plot is extremely convoluted, the art is so-so and I can't even differentiate between characters. They've all blurred together. The writer had gotten their personalities mixed up all the time and often draws them without any unique expression in relation to the other characters they interact with. I mean, this is a one face fits all book. What a waste of cash, seriously.

The summary, basically described an author who wrote a book about his unrequited love being asked to write another book. He's suffering from writer's block. Basically, it was the entire summary... Underneath that a small addendum was made saying the book was a small collection of one-shots centered around happenings inside an upscale bar... I mean, it was three lines long and the afore-mentioned was eight! Of course it's misleading! I thought it would at least be connected to the main pairing! The reality was the first story with the writer and his publisher was boring, trite, and cliche not to mention it was super short.

The rest of it was about some bar that could barely be called connected to the first story. I mean, the first pair went there, like once? And that was after their story ended, in fact you could say they went there so the author sould say the stories connected! Grrr, I've been conned!!! And if the first story was bad, reading the rest was hellish. I finished the book because I paid twenty two fricking bucks for it! Aaaargh!!! I can't even figure out who's with who because the author switched partners around without rhyme or reason, just to give a more cynical and experience feel to her 'writing'. I bet even after a second reading that wouldn't change, and I can't bear to go through the rag again! It's a complete waste of the paper it was printed on!!!

*Sigh...*

-_-; I'm really ticked off.

In other news, I was reading this mangaka's extras at the end of a comic and... You've got to see this.

Look at what happened to this poor yaoi mangaka!

*Snicker...* Oh that poor, poor, traumatized techie! ^________________^

This time, seeing as I haven't in a while, I did a theme search on the search term, chibi.

It seems, I like my chibis to have a certain style. Among the features I look for are, rosy cheeks, absence of a nose and/or lips, really plump legs and arms which can be triangular or roundish and a triangular shaped body.

My ultimate weakness is eyes without white, like an animal's... All black.

I'm going to resume the search for cuteness, then I'll give the whole chibi drawing a go. ^_^

Oh well. I also had to adjust it twice because, the first time my mum said it didn't suit the customer, her friend, and the second time because the lady said she'd prefer it shorter. So I'm pooped now.

I think I'll post the set that caused me so much trouble in the first place... Will be up soon labelled as Red and White for my imagination has run out...


Also, I've mistakenly edited the last entry instead of adding a new one so, um ignore that... I had to repost the whole thing. Haste _does_ make waste. *Collapses*
