Made a whole batch and ate most of it accompanied by freshly chopped bananas and some homemade kiwi jam that I got off the Ready Steady Cook site. Mmmm didn't know kiwi jam could taste so nice.
And yeh that's all atm really, just so excited to make some jam....

At the moment I'm into...
-Bentos (Japanese boxed lunch) and watching Master Chef Australia.... Those people cook so well.
-Anime/manga still, at least we know that hasn't changed. If you live in Australia BUY Animavericks magazine and support the Australian Anime community.
-Read HEAPS of manga, particularly One Piece from the start even though I've watched it up to where they just defeated Crocodile in Alabasta.
-Some plushies...in particular tooth plushies which I will be posting up as soon as I've finished making them.
-My new W595 phone from Sony Ericsson. It's in a nice pastel-ish metallic pink colour. ^^

And I used to know how my life will go, but at this moment in time it's very unpredictable. I know what I want to do and who I want to be, but I have no clue where I'll end up in the next year or so. Some of you think that's exciting to life on the 'edge' but the uncertainty kills me...well the near future uncertainty anyway. I feel like some sorta anime character who is going through all these ordeals to reach the ULTIMATE goal, except its actually REAL and doesn't end a few seasons of 22min episodes.
I need to be forced to draw something, maybe a competition....maybe not...I don't know. Either way that's all from me for now.

Laterz~!

Fours weeks packed with pure stress and study heaven...XD. And about only two months before the uni year ends. It's all happening too fast...XDD

Things to do:
-Finish year long clinical portfolio (this takes ages)
-Draft and prepare health lesson (there's an assignment with this...and that is..>XD)
-Prepare presentation on Autism & handout sheet (group work)
-Book patients for clinical exam
-Start studying mad for exams...XDDD

Artiwise:
Need to finish....
-Severin and Evangeline pic WIP
-Spring Love pic for contest...which at this rate i'm not even sure I'll be able to enter...only the sketch is done. And its due Oct 10th~!

That's right~! The exact one I go to....however...that didn't make any difference when registering...XD. Anyway...for some time now its been held at University of Melbourne for the nice atmosphere, garden, scenery and quite nice and old architecture etc etc. ^^ I went on Sunday which started at 10am...but I came there at 8:30 to avoid the long line and not take my chances in missing out on a ticket. Because I didn't register before hand.... You will see the line ...later...don't compare it to anime conventions in America....XD..we are a small country after all.
The day was nice, sunny and not too hot. Perfect weather for taking photos and for cosplayers to strut their stuff. =] I bought a few things here and there...some multi liner pens in a few sizes, a book or so about colouring and supported one of the first Australian anime magazines by signing myself up. *Feels patriotic* XD
There were as you would expect anywhere, commercial traders, fan traders, cosplay comp, cosplay chess (however I missed out on that...T_T), gamers hall (disappointing...), workshops (drawing, mecha, that game that is played in Hikaru No Go) and the usual. ^^ Cosplayers made it fun of course ^^ SO it was just nice to just walk around.
I just LOVE the froggy cosplayer and BOXMAN~! XD...Check it out.


The LINK is here in my FB gallery. Hopefully you should be able to acess it. [link]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Its done~! finally no messages and no deviations....I've finally gotten around to do some maintenance on my page. Eh....so tiring....now for some real work...like...an assignment due tomorrow?

XD...procrastination is so sweet and yet so damn annoying sometimes, u achieve something but neglect something else. Actually right now I should be doing my work....=_=...but I'm suffering from severe mental blocks atm...

I'm on a short from uni right now, so I'm sorta too much in the relaxed mood to do anything but assignment MUST be done. After that I'm just gonna chill...make up for the lack of hours I missed out on sleeping for I dunno...since...that last break and then get myself organised and REVVED UP to actually make these holidays productive.
And MAYBE...just maybe....I'll get around to do some art...and get some stuff going....or maybe not...if I say I'll do it...I might end up jinxing it, and there won't be anything to submit. Eh..DX...I will not draw, I will not draw, I will not draw...(there that should do)

How have you all been? I think everyone just appears to be quite busy with life these days...

Anyway, just wanted to get that out of my system.

During the month of August an unfortunate event occurred and well has keep me very busy looking after the family and such. Because of that and uni issues (omg the work) I've been unable to be as active as I'd like to be.

I haven't been able to draw, I'm quite stressed....because I've been missing out quite a bit of uni...and so its really kinda hard to catch up with work. Especially with a recent meeting with my year coordinator I realised the extent of work I needed to do to present to him....so yeh....

It does make me sad that I haven't been as creative as I would preferred though...but just want you guys to know that I'll still comment and stuff....it just might take a while. =]

Cheers~!

But ok for five minutes I will calm down and write about what I was initially excited about. And I have been so for the last three days since Friday night when I found out that my family and I will be going to Vietnam at the end of the year. YAY~! I'm very VERY excited...Why? Because this will be my first trip anywhere overseas ever, YES EVER......FIRST time FLYING, FIRST time in a country outside Australia and I'm so excited I'm a bit high right now. We'll be going for two wks, not with a tourist group but self travel I guess you could say and it'd be a full country tour, until we reach grandma's place at My Tho. In other words going from north to south. XD Oh I just can't wait, I can't wait to meet the locals...or attempt to blend in...I can't wait to bargain...I can't wait to stuff myself silly, I can't wait to see the sights, smell the air (umm...if its clean), maybe even get a traditional gown fitted.......and again...the food.....droools...despite the fact that we do have Vietnamese food at home....lol....hohoho....*ecstatic with joy*

Recently I have been listening and watching some things....
I would recommend Hana Yori Dango (Boys over flowers) the live action series to watch. There is season 1, 2 and the movie which ends the story. Season One and Two can be seen at mysoju.com It is originally based on the japanese manga even though it is classified at shojo...I'd still recommend it because its just so hilarious and adorable, the japanese actors and actresses really bring out the characters of the story. The Taiwanese adaptation of the Japanese drama series is called Meteor Garden...and even though I myself have not watched it YET....I think its worth checking out if you have time.

I've also been addicted to:
Ai Otsuka's "Planetarium"

Utada Hikaru's "Flavour of life" (Hana Yori Dango Season Two)

Kokia's "Daiji na Mono wa Mabuta no Ura " should see the Ashe & Rasler clip on youtube (FFXII)

That's all for now....sorry for the boring lookin' entry...I'm quite ina rush you see. Till then, laterz.

The Witcher is addictive, and so is Elder Scrolls: Oblivion...I'm so bad...

Serious help. For a 19 yr old, my art kinda sux...and I can't even colour ...not in PS or watercolour... So I'm off on a journey to challenge myself and bring myself closer to being able to illustrate like a professional... That is all. That's my recreational dream...my academic dream has yet to be fulfilled..."

And I'm still workin on that. Just thought I'll make a shorter journal post...the other took up too much page space. Though if you want to know more about me just click here--->[link]

Alrighty I'll be getting busy in the upcoming weeks....its like the only time I have to draw is when I'm helping out my parents at their Patisserie. =_=' But...what can you do...
Things I'll have to do soon....

Prac exam - DONE
Prepare for a viva voce exam on local anaesthesia by 4:45pm on Thur May 1st. (10-15mins)
Get a health education assignment in by Mon 28th April. "Discuss a health behaviour theory/model in detail"
Get Working with Children Check form filled out

Participate or engage myself in a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program...because its compulsory when you're out working...keeping yourself updated and stuff on new regulations or stuff you can and cannot do in practice etc...etc..

And then all the other mumbo jumbo that comes with learning new things...patient management is still a work in progress. Kids, their parents and adult patients alike. I can just feel the stress building up And yeh I'll be hard at studying... I must will myself to get organised and study...so I don't end up with all nighters... They're really bad for you.

I'm planning on checking out the Breakfast club to do some Oral Health Promotion for the lil kiddies. Propagating community involvement through children to their families on general health promotion.

Or you can just ignore all of this and check out my for any new work.

And remember...brush twice, floss once....DAILY~! And DON'T smoke. Don't use hard bristles because it can traumatise your gums and cause them to recede or shrink back. More tips soon~! (hey...can't hold it against me that I wanna help in promoting oral health) XD

I was prescribed antibiotics [Amoxicillin] and some sorta asthma meds.

Ok got home took the meds, felt better next day and was able to complete an assignment~! Yay~! But I had to stay home for the day then....things got worse again. I had a throbbing headache 24/7 I could not sleep properly, loss of appetite, spent every waking Easter break sleeping as much as I can.....even had a day where anything I did try to eat just came out [via vomitting yeh i know...eww] but it was terrible. The feeling, I swear smelling anything made me wanna vomit...but of course only eating something actually made me did (Especially when mum forced Chau down my throat...got I hate that thing at the time). That was the day my parents said...that's it no more Amoxicillin and painkillers...you're going drug free and loading up on OJ (orange juice). After I've been telling them for two days I need OJ and after depriving it from me and then hearing my aunty recommending them to give it to me did they get me some OJ. I felt better....still lied down in bed cos of throbbing head but slowly got better. And then I woke up on Wednesday feeling brilliant because I realised that I had my first uninterupted sleep at night~! Woo~!

I tried testing out my new sick free self did a bit of running and jumping....bad idea. Too much too soon...XD. Still get the headache very occasionally but its bearable. I still get woozy now and again but I'm keeping warm. Oh and the TEMPERATURE has gone DOWN~!~!~! Yayayayayayaayyaay~!!!!!!!! Its now in the 15-25 degrees!!!! Now THAT is the weather I know and love. We even had rain yay~!

Anyway enough of my sickness....and more about my drawings. Yes I have draw more and well when I looked back on the old ones I drew better I hit the bed for a fortnight and found them to be...so 'not in". But I haven't decided to post my new ones up yet so

Boy can I write up a lot when I'm feeling good. LoL Anyway that's all from me for now...

It brings me to tears cos i can't stand the pain. T_T

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good news: I've drawn up a few new pictures...some related to my story and others random.

Bad news: I've got no computer screen at home, because my brother's one malfunctioned and he took my screen. The scanner is installed on my comp. It's complicated but the main point is that my net down is dramatically reduced.

Life at school is busy as hell. Nothing different there. Not much else to right cos I'm pressured to get off...right about now....so when I have time I might update you some things here and there.

I know I haven't posted up any new drawings, and for that.....I'm terribly sorry. But as long as I'm still here I'll still be drawing and sooner or later I will present to you with a new deviation. Though you guys probably prefer sooner...rather than later.
Haven't been really working on any drawings, just looking back at old ones. Some reflection of my works you could say. Been trying to find new inspirations and draw them visually but it has proven to be more difficult than I initially thought. XD

Since my last journal entry I've watched a few anime movies. But there are three now in particular that I must tell you about.

Giniro no Kami no Agito (Origin : Spritis of the past)
Genre : Drama, science fiction, romance, fantasy
It didn't have such good ratings because of a slight let down in story line in general but its interesting and the art is amazing. The concept of the world in Origin is fascinating and really gets you thinking about our environment on a subconscious level.

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (The girl who leapt through time)
Genre: Drama, romance, science fiction (cos of time leaping), slice of life
Great story. Its fun at times, and sad at others when a girl who leaps through time realise the consequences of her actions. What may start off small, will turn into something big and almost...almost irreversible. The characters are lovable and sweet. There was a tear jerking moment and well you learn that often at times its best to let time takes its course. =] Well can't tell you too much now can I or I might ruin the story entirely.

And from both of these movies I got addicted to a song from each. "Ai no melody" by KOKIA (Origin : Spirits of the Past) and "Kawaranai Mono" by Hanako Oku (The girl who leap through time)

ONE MORE anime I forgot to mention which is just as good is.........
Appleseed
Genre : Action, sci-fi, mecha
This animated 3D CG anime movie is full of action packed scenes. The story complicated but easier to understand than Ghost in the Shell. The main character is (hot) female lead is an extremely skilled soldier who is recruited by E.S.W.A.T who works for a utopian city called Olympus from the outskirts of post World War III ruins. She plays a major role for the coexistence of bioroids (robo-clones) which make up half the city's population and humans together in a harmonic future. However there are humans that have a thing against living with machines....yadiyadiya

Well that's all I got for now. =]
I'll do my best to submit some stuff sometime, somewhere in the distant yet not so distant future.

But I probably gonna be a tiny weeny bit more active than I have.

Its gonna be Christmas soon. I might get in the mood for some visual 2D art by then.

PS. - I've clocked two PSP games since. Jeanne d'Arc which I really recommend and Radiant Mythology: Tales of the World. I'm trying out Disgaea but I'm kinda wired out from the last two RPGs. Needa break. I've been into make some stuffed animals. Bought a new top I really REALLY like and gonna be making some mini Christmas/Plum puddings soon. Be posting some pictures up soon.

To all those who have stuck around. Thanks.
NOTE : Anyone who wants to be re-added. Send a lil note and I'll be sure to add you to my watch list again.
