...lousy title...but I dun care....can't think of a good one so there goes...

Finished my last semester of my first uni year...twas okay...but...wow THAT was fast...so...yay...2 months holiday for me...or about there...

My art life is deadlier than anything 'dead' i can relate to...pick up a pencil...scribble some junk...takes me god knows how long just to get a face right...and even that's just a reproduction...been so long since i drew anything....and nothing's right....and as if it's not bad enought that nothing I draw is original...it'll take ages for me to do somthing which I can proudly sign the ownership to myself...it's just so frustraiting that you have this pic in ur head and u just can't get it out...no matter what...and it's just so frustraiting...that I just dun care anymore...so...screw it...or as my fav line goes... "To hell with it..."

These matters aside...a series of stuff happened lately..and I'm just too lazy to write bout it...summary is that my car got crashed really bad while being nicely parked outside my house by some idiots who decide to drive to fast and too recklessly WITHOUT LICENSE...so I'm basically stuck at home when my mum goes to work...which is most of the time...and weaher's screwy hot...I still love my speakers...oh did I mention i haul my com back home with me for the hols?...am thinking of getting a job during my hols so that i can get a new HardDisc and prolly a tablet (yeah rite) but no idea how to go to work...my college screw things up and decided to send me off to the OTHER campus..which is located in a rather remote area...and i dun like it...coz...hell I've rented a place in my present campus area...and that place just sux...weather at home's like hell (i hope I didn't repeat this one)...

Kay...all that aside...I just came back from 3 days stay with my sis in a hotel...was nothing...she had to come back to a nearby town for meeting and got free hotel stay for a few days...so I joined her...since I'm dying of heat and there's air con there and stuff...and I need a break from my com...so one nite while the both of us were walking back from dinner...we were happily chatting when I suddenly noticed a man standing too close to my sis...right behind her...and crouching...first thing that shot to my mind: snatch thief...I shouted out so freakin damn loud...and my sis' reaction was (thank god) fast...she thighten her grip on her wallet and cellphone (she carries it in her hand..bad habit) and sorta turns away from the thief...the thief DID get a hold of my sis' wallet...but coz my sis thightened the grip earlier...it somehow slipped off his hand...and he just ran...at that moment I thought I'd give chase and try to recover my sister's wallet...but as soon as I saw him run so damn fast...I knew it was useless...I've been out of practice so much lately...that my stamina's dropped so much...I knew that if I were to give chase...it would be useless....all of a sudden...I felt so useless...so helpless...all that martial art and stuff...out of the window...all I could do was shout...but I think at that moment...that was all that was needed to save my sister's wallet...I turned to ask my sis if the thief got her wallet...and to my surprise..my sis said he dropped it...I guess he must have panicked when I shouted and just...ran...I think I shouted pretty loud (well...I'm just the loud type )...that was it...no point chasing...so both of us just quickly walk back to our hotel....dammit...it happened at the main road...those bloody thiefs...so....ARGH....idiots...barbaria ns...animals!

A lil while after that happened...my whole body went a lil numb...it was scary...that scene keeps playing in my head....and i kept seing 'a man behind my sister'...ARGH...freaky....dangerous town...I hate those bastards...useless 'dirtbags'...

Oh btw..for those of you who haven't seen Salty Dog 3..check it out here...

Yeah, I'm known to have screwed up scedule...I slept from 7.30pm Thursday nite after a hearty meal till 3am on the next morn. Woke up to a dark room, thinking it was already next morning...well...it was, but I thought it was roughly 6am...but doesn't matter..all I needed to know then was it was morning...and I dozed off again...

As I remembered, I still have a whole load of laundry to do, so off I went to get them done at 3am in the morning...a very big pile indeed. Got all my water bottle filled up then enjoyed the whole day away. Even had a bath at 6am, which is quite a rare event for me to bathe THAT early in the morn (it's just not me...that's it)...coz I still haven't bathed the day before...when I dozed off -_-# . Then later at 9am, roomie woke up to wash her face....yikes....no water?? ...She later went to our campus annoucement board...hehe...there was a notice there indicating that there was gonna be water shortage due to pipe burst...'cool'...and no one told us bout it. Kay kay...our fault for not checking. They said they'd get it done by 5pm so we didn't worry much tho...then we went to class...and came back at 12noon...at that moment I was still undecided on whether or not I wanted to go on with the trip to KL that I planned with my 2nd sister...and my 2nd sister simply nicely cancelled her plans last minute and my eldest sister who's working in KL isn't exactly very free this weekend. So there...plans for the weekend spoilt (and I was so looking forward to it too)...and on top of that..no water...and...WHAT??? NO ELECTRICITY TOO??...New annoucement on the board...we ain't gonna have electricity that night coz of some maintainance stuff...SWEET....they ALL have to come together...I was really frustraited then...weekend plans gone...no water...no electricity...no good shows in town....I felt like crying...I COULD have gone KL anyway even tho my sisters may not be around but main reason I wanted to go there was to get sumthing...speakers to be precise...and a woofer....and I needed 2nd opinion on it...going alone would be rather meaningless then. It was sumthing I had wanted for a very very long time already...and I actually skipped 3-4 months's worth of lunch for it...skipped and have very light meal..but skip nonetheless...and saved lunch money up in a bottle.

I felt like just grabbing my bag and stuff some shirts into it and just go off to KL. Then again I thought it would be rather pointless coz...electricity would only be gone for the night...form 11pm till 7am morning..so might as well just bear with it. But still...I was pissed...and angry...and fed up...so the day went on just like that...I watched Return of the King Extended Edition then...I always watch a show when I'm in no good mood.

We had to go to the extend of going to the new faculty block's building to take our bath...there was no proper shower there but at least the bathroom stall was new and big and very clean and more importantly...WATER....so me, roomie and friend went there and take our bath...and we just suggested to follow another bunch of friend to KL the next day for a day trip...go there in the morn and come back at nite. Then I COULD get my speakers...hehe.

Then at night I was just chatting with my friend...cooling off....it was already 11.30pm but the electricity was still there...but just as if I spoke too soon...it poofed off 20 minutes later...geezzz....talk bout timing. So...bedtime for us...yaaa rite! I put on my candles...took the torchlights...and went to my neighbour's room (..did I mention I live in 20th floor university dorm?? EKkee)...her room was much more cooling...and her roomie had gone out...and she has a laptop...so there we were..me, my roomie and that friend...chatting...listening to music..and later she put on an anime....I TRIED to watch it...HONEST..but then my eyes were just rebellious...they slept. ....

Woke up next morning...there was water for a moment but then it didn't last long. At least I have some water in store...so it didn't really matter...kekek...prepped up a bit and then we set off to KL.

We asked the bus driver to drop us nearby the area where I could get the speakers...Low Yat Plaza (those in M'sia would be very familiar with this place...is said to be Computer and tech stuff's heaven)...this area was rather near to the bus station anyway. So we got there and went off to find my speakers. Went to one of my favourite store...coz there... ]]> ~volvoxx http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/4442920/ http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/4442920/ Sat, 29 Jan 2005 05:58:07 PST
Lets see wats goin on in my life? Lots....

2 weeks ago I reformat my com...after nicely backing up my stuff in my roomie's com, I had tonnes or problems JUST to get the recovery disc to run...and when it did, com says it can't be used...invalid directory or watever...aahhh...kay THEN I went thru the manual way of formatting my com...end up with a PC with only 16bit colour...quickly installed my network card driver so that I could go online...or at least get connected to my local network so that I can grab my files from roomie's com. Then installed drivers for my monitor and stuff but the best part is...I can't find the correct driver for my audio. SoundMAX audio driver. Went online and found a few versions but all those can't work. End up screwing my com and reformatting my com another 2 times....at one point I couldn't even access my BIOS (those who know this terms...U'll know I'm in deep shit) .....eventually managed to get my com to a rather stable condition...2 weeks layer...yesterday..I went to my com lab admin to ask for a copy of WinXP ServicePack2 to try out in my com...see if the audio driver might work from there...they said it's available from their site so I went back and surfed their site. Hmmm...yaaa rite. Didn't find any XP there but I DID find a driver site..."what the heck" ....so I installed the SoundMAX from there....and what do you know....my com restarted with SOUND!!! WEEEEEEeeee....2 whole weeks of no anime and no music...I almost DIED!!! ...that saves me 50 bucks for a new sound card...hehe....

Bought myself a new keyboard a few weeks ago...black nice Samsung keyboard...can type so much faster now....so nice *pats it* .....mweeee....and oh...got new RAM too....com too slow to go without a new one....my Photoshop 7.0 no longer crawls when I CG...kekekeke....sweeetttt.....

Okay...put the techs aside.....studies are crazy...well actually only for Physics I guess...that lecturer's and..idiot....the whole class can't get him....we really dunno wat we're doing in class..just to get attendance I guess....gosh....but others are allrite thankfully.

Just last week, my uni organized an invitational Taekwondo tournament....was hell busy before that...never been THAT busy before..making the programme book...promo booth...flyers...event backdrop...secretariat...and asked us to practice for an even which later got cancelled... @__@ ....crazy...but really, I had fun. Those bunch of people speak mandarin as a major language...and me not being able to speak mandarin very fluently had to just blend in with them...after 4-5 days of seing them and talking to them, I found myself answer my roomie's question in mandarin...eventho she asked me in English.... ....crazy.... .....was also asked to be emcee for the event....so 2 whole days of having affair with the microphone....LOL.....

Got myself ripped version of Saiyuki RELOAD from #animehq@rizon .....rather disappointed...they changed the seiyuu for our dear guys...waaaa....not quite satisfied with Sanzo's seiyuu.... *tsk tsk* ...why...WHY.....argh...nvm...I'll stick to the original Japanese one...Gensomaden english seiyuus were good.....

On a side note...I picked up Japanese language...so far so good but I really need time to revise them....badly....

Okay....now lets get to art and fics....I'm........I know...really nothing much done recently.....I get distracted by my com too easily...and my busy schedule ain't helping either...used to draw in Human Developement class during my first semester....now all the subjects are all those 'no-nonsense' subjects so I can't fool around in class....and ideas keep coming to be written...only to be kept in a safe in my brain....waiting to be typed out or at least inked out on some paper....waaa.....*whacks self* ....dang...

To all my friends....if I'm not chatting as frequent as I used to...or late in commenting your arts or replying notes....am so so SO sorry...sometimes I just don't have the mood to comment any art...so I keep it for later when I'm in better mood ...and notes.....yeah...same....I tend to write lengthy notes and sometimes I read them at a time when I'm just too....sleepy to even type.... >__< ....my bad...yeah.....

Will be having sem break again (only a week tho) for Chinese New Year next week.....but will be having exams before (and after) Chinese New Year..... ]]> ~volvoxx http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/4132191/ http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/4132191/ Wed, 22 Dec 2004 23:21:50 PST

Just got back to my campus early this week and now I'm gonna go back home again to celebrate Christmas...how ironic is it that my hols finish just a week before Christmas...will have to do....I still love home so I don't mind at all...and dad doesn't mind forking out my bus tickets either so Will be celebrating Christmas in Gurney, Penang this year (those of you in Malaysia will know where it is ^^) ...sis booked 2 rooms in a hotel....hopefully it faces the sea (but the area there ain't much of view anyway...) so...yay!! At least something different from every year what we've always been having.

Sorry guys but art mood's down...fic's down too...I think I just need someone to take my internet away for a day or two (or a week and hope I wun die) and THEN I get to do some of the stuff I intended to do....3 days....I think I can live w/o internet for 3 days....not w/o computer...just w/o internet...I'm just so hooked up by it!!

For the first year, I'm having problem buying presents....maybe it's coz I spend too much on my own stuff now that I have (almost) total freedom on how I wanna live my life and spend my own cash...did a few PC upgrades...bought stuffs I like...this and that...but I think most of all is that I didn't have time to go shopping for stuffs...or no idea of what to get...I hope my friends and family wun mind not getting gifts from me

How was my hols??....not exactly THAT nice...was a good break for me to go home...I love home...the longer I study here the more I love my home...I love my friends here but I think I love my home even more (eventho the PC can't be used to watch fansubs for some reason and that I use dialup at home)...it's very pleasant...plus the fact that I get to run around whole house while here in campus hostel I only run around in my room...tiny....messy....with lovely computer....had some family issues too but past tense...Glad I DID manage to finish at LEAST one art during my hols...or else carrying baby scanner home wud be wasted effort

Dun feel like rambling on....going home tonite...caught flu...and love you guys (not more that I love Sanzo tho )

Oh btw...check this out [link] ....yeah...a lil shameless self promo ....which explains the days when I never visit DA at all (busy looking thru script and numbers and....stuff...but it's hell lot of fun )

Merry Christmas everyone....have fun...enjoy yourselves....and Happy New Year

[edit: I received a package from ~ Seguchi-chan today...prolly arrived some time already...part of our little gift exchange...my first gift from foreign country ...Sankyuu dear ] ]]> ~volvoxx http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/3862141/ http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/3862141/ Thu, 18 Nov 2004 13:33:03 PST [Edit]Thanks you guys for the support you guys gave me...and also for the advice against re-submitting my art..I'll take that advice.

As for discontinueing my Wallpaper making....shimpai shinai...I'll go on making them as I love doing them...I might submit it here under permitable category...or off DA...if you still want to delete it...fine with me...I just want to share it with the community here anyway....so GO AHEAD...

[enters sarcastic mode...people who are not involved...please do not heed this matter]
If you think you're getting me down whole day bout this matter...sorry to disappoint you but I'm still freakin cheerful...thanks to my loads of nice mp3 to listen to...and of course these people here who are here for me. To think that there ARE people who have so much free time as to STALK people and REPORT them....it's so silly and pathethic....wats with you guys anyway? We just want to share the fun of art and anime...editing pictures with digital software IS an art..not all people can do them....(in fact some of my friends' arts who are deleted are COMPLETE ORIGINAL and yet they get deleted...this makes me laugh even more).....I am INDEED HONOURED that you even spent time and gave me so much attention...I didn't know I was THAT famous and worthly of your ATTENTION. DOMO-ARIGATO!!!
[Ends sarcastic mode]

That's all for now folks...please...if you're not responsible for reporting my art watsoever...please don't feel anything for what I've written...I'm really pissed today and I'm just getting this out of me...that's all....and I think I'm feeling much better now...thanks.

[end of edit]
_______________________________

Yeah..yeah...careful guys....DA people are going around deleting people's arts... 8 of my deviations were deleted coz of that (another ALMOST got deleted but they realised they had no right to do that coz it was completely my own deviation and in no way any screencap at all...

8 devs=3 beloved wallpapers(damn you)+2 screencaps+3 GIF icons

I'll repost some of them here with HOPEFULLY IN THE CORRECT CATEGORY (Dammit...I love those two wallpapers I made...) ...and some others I'll post them off-DA and put a link back here....

Seriously...touch my art again and I'll LEAV THIS DAMN PLACE! F*ckers.....get OFF MY BACK!!!

It is not as if I did not write any proper copyright statement...I DID CLEARLY STATE THAT THE PICTURES USED IN MY WALLPAPER BELONG TO MINEKURA AND I DID NOT DRAW THEM MYSELF...I'm in NO WAY CLAIMING IT TO ME MINE...just the wallpaper editing......

Kay...enuff with the pissed off behavior for DA's deleting my stuff....

Am having my exams soon...busy for now but still lingering here (I'm here just coz of my friends...not coz I love DA too much.. )...then back home for my hols....hell I'm gonna enjoy myself then.....

Not much bout myself lately...no arts for now....maybe later...just maybe.....am having a pretty boring life so dun bother.... *sigh*.....

Still waiting for the final eps of Gunlock to come to my place...it's already out but still haven't got my hands on them yet...can't wait ..

Jaa

http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/3768943/ Sat, 06 Nov 2004 14:11:25 PST Suddenly life felt so busy...like a heap of work fell on me...jeezzzz....lets not discuss wat I'm busy about....it's boring...really.....

Shiro no Jumon, Saiyuki RELOAD Gunlock 2nd ED.
Saiyuki RELOAD Gunlock episodes 17-22.
An Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice.
Mood: Perverted, bored, sick, ...wtf...

I remember I owe 2 person 2 arts...both Goku...sorry for the delay...am not really that good in Goku so it'll take a while...at most during my hols back at home (YAYYY!!!)

Yeah...YAYY...my hols are coming again...beginning Oct 24 (yes, going my sis' place again and then back home..)...but that also means my exams are coming -_-# ...GRRRRR.....oh QUICKLY GET OVER WITH IT...am SICK of the info stuck in my brain.... (hey come on kid, you still have 4 more years of uni life to go...'yay' )

Guess what?? Remember the problematic monitor of mine back home? It's toast....last week mum called me to tell that the monitor gave out a weird smell...and then it went poof and blank... ...it finally 'died' ....about time to get a new monitor when I get back this trip

I know...my previous 3 arts have been yaoi-based...so for those who watch me who dun quite like yaoi, I'm very very sorry...my mind's very perverted these days...'normal arts' will kick in during hols

Did I mention I went for blood donation? My first...ekeke...was kinda excited as this is actually helping people but it's no big deal...(and to think my roomate and my initial purpose of donating blood that day was coz we're both out of cash for lunch and didn't bother to withdraw money...and they were giving out food for blood donors...oh shameful thought...)

Am having a short 'one week break' next Thursday onward for 2 major religious celebration in my country (being Deepavali and Hari Raya)...so am going on a trip with my 2 close uni friends...have fun b4 exams then come back and suffer...can't wait for the trip..

Oh yeah....I got Saiyuki RELOAD Gunlock up to episodes 22...ekkekk...haven't watched them yet tho...dun wanna watch them all in a rush...and also kinda busy...besides, I dun wanna die in a cliffhanger on episode 22 waiting for the remaining 4 eps....

Guess that's all...am sorry to my dear friends in my Messengers that I dun chat with for a period of time already...I only use Yahoo! Messenger for the time being coz com gets extremely slow when I on other messengers...might reformat it later...provided my sis found the CD to do it...

Thanks again to my friends who keep me company here at DA...it's really been a pleasure knowing you guys s all!

Yeah, I attended a beach training today, Taekwondo beach training. I didn't attend the first one as it was held on the same day as Bon Odori (I wrote bout that too last time [link] ) so this time I HAD to give it a try.

We started off at 8am from my uni to a beach around 40 mins drive from our place. Our training started with an expected run by the sea on the sand. And it REALLY isn't that easy running on sand but it was rather nice. After that we had warm-up then a minor recap of the previous lesson, falling forward and backwards to the sand without injury as well as a 'roll'.

After that we learnt a few 'jumping kicks(mid-air kicks)' which are so cool, but girls only get to try one of them, the jumping side kick, (single leg) and try to improve ourselves in it. How we do it? You run, you jump and you kick. The two other were a bit more difficult. One of it involves jumping onto a cement slab there with one leg, then turning around to deliver a kick onto the target with that same leg. The other one is also a jumping side kick but this one uses both legs to execute the kick, and as a result you WILL fall flat on the sand but that's when what we learnt in the previous lesson comes in handy.

After that we did self defence with guys as attacker and we whack them and throw them onto the ground....ekkeke....was very nice .

It was drizzlin a bit thruout our time training there but that makes is so nice as there wasn't any blazing sun during the noon.

After we finished our lesson, what's more? Of course we had a dip in the sea...wahahaha.....we played ball and splash around. One of the guys actually wore white pants and black undies...oh gawd...it was like semi-transparent. During one of the intervals we even buried a guy in sand and sculpted 'body figure' onto him...he became a hermaphrodite ...

Really enjoyed myself very much today. And came back, my whole body was aching. I couldn't even lift my hands higher than my head, aches. I dun even want to think wat it wud be like tomorrow XD .

Dun even talk bout art yet. My hand shakes whenever I try to draw. Will try again in a while. Can't have two weekends without any art at ALL!

Thanks u guys for keep visiting my page even though I dun have any new devs.

Jaa, for now

Yep..i'ts been a while since I ranted...so if you can't stand my ranting..I suggest you just skip this

Yeah...just came back to my uni after month long break...and everything's so messy...from my room, my com to my life. (Actually the life part has been messy all this while...so it's kinda normal )

The day I came back to my room, I just throw everything around to make it easier to unpack and arrange stuffs back to their places (U see...our stoopid warden had asked us to clear our rooms b4 we go for our hols...so basically we had to remove EVERYTHING...damn)...and everything was strewn everywhere....took me around a whole day to sort things out...phew....

Then was my com...due to misunderstanding with my friend(who I left my com with during the hols for safekeeping), he forgot to send me my com...until 2 days ago (but even if he did, baka me left all the power cords of my com in sis' place..so cant use anyway)...and on that same day I had to go sumwhere else to attend an interview for scholarship (hope I get it...my fees in this uni is pricey...if I get that..I SWEAR I'll get myself an artbook ) ...so it has almost been a week since I touched my com!!! And it's soooo...messy....

Finally cleared my DA messages...(thanks you guys for keeping in touch with me and keeping me company )...still have got to download some files I wanted to DL during the hols (but can't do so due to superslow internet speed)...send files to ppl I promised (sorry guys...it's gonna take a while ) ....watch my Gunlock (YAYYYY I FINALLY got my hands on eps 9-14 ) ...and burn backup files for both my sisters...

Art is somewhat out of the question these days...maybe fics...(darn!! still haven't finished that one I started sorry it's takin so long)

Dun even start with the club...planned to re-arrange the frontpage journal and it's still not done yet....grrrrr...tonite....maybe....

Ppl have been requesting me to do avatars/icons for them...so far I've done 2 (examples: and ...yes, I can do icons/avatars but not always...esp when life's so messed up for now...and those 2 icons...ideas are provided by the owners themselves...I just compile it and animate it....

That's all for rantings and stuffs...oh yeah...studies kinda tolerable...for now.....thanks for listening...

Oh...did I mention I kidnap my scanner from home and brought it here?? Ekeke...of course mum found out a lil while later but I had already boarded my bus...so too late...ekekkee....!

Jaa

Hmm...have been stuffing myself with lots of things eversince I came back... ....bad.....can't help it...I seriously miss those stuff....mannn....the spaghetti was good!

Had some great time drawing a few arts...finished two of my Hakkai's...currently working on:
Lining and colouring one of my BW Sanzo art...he got jealous coz I coloured Gojyo the other day and not him...[completed first task]
A Sanzo art of my own...with little reference to Kazuya's art Hope it works out....[delayed]
...maybe another fic... [completed]

Collection quotes from Gensomaden for the club...been too long since I've updated stuff there...sumimasen [in progress]
Finish up episode summary for ~ ClubSaiyuki [progress]

Sometimes I envy my own shared club. Why? It has more pageviews than mine even tho it has only 3 deviations and is much much newer than my account....has definately more ppl devwatching it...and one of it's deviation has 200 views....gawd...*sigh*....nothing I can do bout it ne? What am I so jealous bout anyway? Ekekek...silly me.....

Oh btw...I remember promising someone I'd show them my first Sanzo art...but I can't remember who...whoever it is...if you wanna take a peek at it (it wun be good...I promise ekekek)....it's here..[link] under scraps....

And another thing...what else did I promise you guys that I haven't deliver yet (besides the avatar to crusher...it's takin a moment..sorry) ? Art? Manga? Watever it is...please send me a note to remind me...I forget sometimes...ekekke...

That's about all for now...back to my work.

Also got myself a cheap poster (which doesn't look cheap)...the picture taken from Backgammon Remix...too bad it was the last piece remaining...or else might have gotten another for a friend or just for the fun of it (it was THAT cheap)

Had a buffet meal of japanese food the other day...it was glorious!! Sushi and Sashimi fresh and yummy...as much as you like....then soba, teppanyaki, sukiyaki, etc...etc....you name it..they have it! Damn....and the ice creams are a killer too! For a buffet, those ice cream are just too good to be true....green tea, chocolate chips and cookies....rapsberry ripple......etc..etc...mannnn......

Life's so boring this week....can't do anything much coz I have to read...if I don't read I'll be dead...but I can't concentrate...so I do junks...like browsing LOTS OF DA...chatting with deviants (using note and comment bar...not DA chat)....make a new skin for my old Yahoo! Messenger (Can't seem to use the new version coz it just screws up my com...my old skin is so boring already...)...downloading fansubs of Saiyuki RELOAD using BitTorrent...and somehow BT REALLY slows down my com .....nah..I still love my com How can I ever live without it??!!!

I can't even draw anything....was drawing a picture of Hakkai that I have on my folder....but then couldn't continue coz my exams coming up...I did try to continue the other day but I just don't have the mood...grrrrr....nvm...I'll have plenty of time to draw when my hols come ...it's starting next Saturday...I'll be spending a week at my sis'...then I'll be back home...(YAY...Scanner!!)..can scan my art then... ...but I hope my com don't screw up like it did last time I went home...the monitor was pitch black...the CD-ROM Drive keeps pop in and out like it was possesed by ghost....and while I was colouring my art and trying to save it, windows popup a messages saying 'There is insufficient memory...'...checked my com and there was only 5MB memory left....'WOW'...wonders what junk my sis put inside that com...

I know...there's something wrong with my RELOADed art....the groups picture I did....esp Goku...I feel so bad I rushed my work at the end of it and somewhat neglecting Goku....sumimasen....I made up for it....I shaded his shirt but can't seem to do anything with his face..*sigh*....I'll repost it when I get my hands on my scanner....

Holidays in a weeks time and I don't feel a thing....jeezzz...what's wrong with me??

Oh...U guys know what I did last nite??? I folded small paper planes (no..not like the one Koumyou or Sanzo folded...this one is small and white)....and I threw it from my room at 20th floor....ekekke...it was so beautiful....smooth flight and it lasted so long....back at home this wouldn't be possible coz....my house only 2 storeys....how high can it go?? Went back my room and folded another three....then it rained Mannn.....

Kay..enuff ranting...sorry for not posting any art for so long....I hope I can do lotsa art during my hols...

Firstly, I didn't have classes WHOLE DAY for sum reason. So the weekend I entended my stay with my sister in KL. Oh the weekend was great. Malaysian Megasales just began and there were stuffs to buy (even tho I had to admit sales nowadays aren't as great as they were last time) but the nicest thing bout the weekend was I get to spend time with my neechan (sister) who was away to Europe for holidays for nearly 2 months. Yep...the last time I saw her was 2 months ago. So she had lots of tales to tell me of her trip...lots of wonderful pictures (especially love those pics of flowers she took there from Kew Gardens). She treated me to nice meals too (as she usually would during my visits .

Went poster hunting again during that visit only to find out that the particular Sanzo poster I was looking for haven't been printed yet (even tho it was already in the catalogue...and I tot they ran out of stock...ch')...got myself a 1000 piece of Sanzo-ikkhou poster/puzzle instead *wonders when I'll finish it* Used to be very good with puzzles back when I had more time to waste...I'll do it next month during my semester bread Hope it'll look good hung up...

Oh yeah..my Monday. Sorry for trailing off...I have the habit...

So after my trip back from KL on Monday afternoon, I settled down to read my Pre-Calcalus for the 2nd part of my mid term exam that night...had my first part about 2 months ago and it was....bad. Managed to finish revisions (already did some during my stay in KL) and went for the exam...and I managed to answer the paper . It was much MUCH better than the first part. I felt real good after that. Asked my roomate out for supper (she's also taking the same course as me and also in my group for the course..what coincidence!) as both of us didn't have proper dinner earlier. Besides we needed to return the manga and Saiyuki RELOAD Gunlock CDs we rented from the Manga/Novel Rental House nearby. So we walked there and returned the items. I took a quick browse at the CD section and the first thing that caught my eye was the familiar picture of Sanzo-ikkhou. ANOTHER CD SO SOON??? Not 1...but 2CDs!!! 4 more episodes of Gunlock!!! Sugoi!!!! Eeekkk...Couldn't believe episodes 5-8 was out so soon (just one week from when I got the first 4) So happy! Gave a quick ring to my friend (also Saiyuki fanatic) bout my new discovery...didn't bother typing SMS as I didn't want myself to get run down by the crazy cars driven there ...

After we got our stuffs, both my roomate and me forgot bout our supper...and decided to dine on Gunlock instead...finished the whole 4 eps same night (we switched off the lights, dragged down the bed and watch it on the computer from the bed on the floor...oh the comfort!)....

Ahhhh.....so much for my Monday and weekend....hope the rest of my week would be allrite ...*thinks assignments and more assignments...sigh*

Have begun practicing drawing original art...starting with the eyes and am enjoying myself...hope the mood stays....

That's all for now....yare yare my journals are getting longer and longer...sorry if it bored you

Jaa!

We went shopping at first. Visited a few anime shops and bought myself some Saiyuki key chains that were kinda cute and affordable...cute...but doesn't look very exact like the actual thing but for that price it was worth it .. And I saw Saiyuki RELOAD Gunlock episodes 1-4 English/Chinese subtitle on sale...am so damn tempted but then it was kinda pricey for what they offer...not that worth it. I can wait....(but so darn tempted..had to peel myself from the shop to avoid myself gawking at it)

What is Bon Odori? Well...Japanese festival to remember their ancestors...well....dats wat one site said...another site said it was summer festival...I just don't know...but it was nice...there was a stage in the centre and a group of boys were playing the drums to the beat of the playing music...and sweet 'yukata' wearing girls were dancing around them in 1 big circle...and below the stage tonnes of people were dancing following their steps...we joined them of course...at first we were kinda unsure how to move but as it gets along we were doing quite fine .

Oh and there were food...japanese food everywhere...including my favourite beer ASAHI !!! Didn't buy tho cost I could have gotten it for a better price elsewhere and besides, have spent too much money on food . But the food was great. Nicest was Unagi rice set The kakigouri (shaved ice with fruit flavouring) was good after the dance as we were thirsty and hot. YUMMYYYY.....

Took pics with japanese kids who were super adorable. The night ended...and we were so tired...had a nap on the bus and now alive again...

Kay....enough about Bon Odori....my arts?? Oh...I'm trying to draw an ori art...finally..but I really can't be sure that I can finish it...really lack the skills...will try my best and hope that it'll turn out like Sanzo (oh yes..it's a Sanzo )....

My current one is almost done....had some problems earlier about what to do with Hakkai since he looks kinda weird in that picture I was copying...and his hair was a headache coz had to draw line by line...strand by strand (sorta..hehe) coz the original picture was like that...but anyways he's done...and now I'm to do Hakuryuu...should be done by this week...

Major exams over...*sigh*...ahhh...relief for a while...my internet connection sux after my roomate put in her new computer and we share the line....so sad...gonna have to find a way out of this.....

That's all for now... *looks at long post*...that's for not posting for a long time...

Jaa ]]> ~volvoxx http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/2718838/ http://volvoxx.deviantart.com/journal/2718838/ Tue, 22 Jun 2004 11:12:12 PDT
After 2 months of university life...I finally had my chance to come back home and....enjoy life here...hehe...*thinks good food*...yeahhhh......

My monitor screwed up today. Put it on standby and came back home seing all lines. I thought it was screwed for sure. Then later I gave it a knock or two (actually...I dunno how many times I knocked it ) then the display came back...so now everytime I wanna turn on my computer I have to give my monitor a few knocks to wake it up....*sigh*...looks like time to get a new monitor...

Have been busy with ~ClubSaiyuki startup stuffs as well as my own Devs...as well as my unfinished game (Half Life...blast those idiotic creatures...yeahhhh!!!)....gonna make cookies tomorrow.....

Speaking of which...I dunno how much nice food my family's been stuffing me ever since I came home...aunt cooks special stuffs everyday...they said I lost weight ever since I went there...well....did I? I doubt it coz...hell I know I've been eating good food there as well..but then again I skipped meals often....hehhe....

The only thing I miss from my university is the internet connection...the network connection there is so darn fast...I left my PC there as well, and this other PC of mine at home is so..........old...slow...and....oh nvm..at least it's still functioning (Hell...my sister installed sum junks and left me with 5MB of hard disc space the other day. Got a shock when I couldn't save my artwork!)

Am currently having my own mini-marathon of Saiyuki RELOAD (the whole 25 episodes...WOOHOOOO ) and doing reviews for some of the episodes for the club...it's so difficult making episode guides without putting in spoilers...ehehe....~blumarine and I did episodes 1-4 so far....more coming up soon....for more information do visit our club ...and join us if you like to...just send either one of us (~ volvoxx or ~blumarine) a note. We'll get to you ASAP.

Got my hands on a few titles of anime (X, Yami no Matsuei and Fullmetal Panic)..those few titles I've been waiting to watch...yet....I still haven't touched it yet...am gonna burn a copy for myself and watch it when I find time.....hopefully soon....

2 months of 'no-driving'...drove again yesterday and not only did I scare my dad...I think I scared myself ...eheheh....a bit clumsy at first but then later on...got the hang of it....*whines: but then it wasn't my fault that got both of us scared...that bloody lady was supposed to stop at the junction but she didn't...mannn...if you wanna die, go die sumwhere else...find some other victim!!!*

Kay..that's all for now....now to my marathon session....yipeeeee

For the love of Saiyuki...ahhh.....
