I want to wreck something while singing to my Gatsby ringtone.
Let me touch on something that's of the past first. If you don't want to read it then ignore the part underlined and in italics. But that's a very angry note and there's swearing in it. Read at your own risk.
It was after my class outing. I headed to Plaza Singapura for lunch and to the arcade for a short game of KOF MIA. And before I knew it, someone challenged me. Then I won. And he challenged again using a different team. It happened continuously until the 10th game, that's when I finally lost. Then I challenged a couple more times and got my ass kicked. I went to the other side of the machine to take a look at the challenger who was so very persistent. And I saw a group of boys.
They started taking turns playing and I just looked. Then I realised. They ganged up on me. All the teams they used were the ones I won against. As the words 'they ganged up on me' painfully hammered itself and echoed within my mind, I felt so angry that I felt like punching the wall until it cracks. To let off a little steam I went out to take a short walk and let them have their fun. When I returned about 30 minutes later, I started a new game, and soon another challenge started. I lost. Again. And it was them. Again.
...Can't they just let me have the game for myself for a little while? Can't they just let me have one single, decent game without disturbance? CAN'T THEY JUST LEAVE ME ALONE? THE GAME DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM! DON'T THEY FUCKING KNOW THE MEANING OF 'SHARE'? OR HAVE THEIR GRANDFATHERS BOUGHT THE GAME FOR THEM SO THEY CAN'T LET ANYONE ELSE TOUCH IT? MUST THEY HOG THE GAME AND NEGLECT THE FEELINGS OF OTHER PEOPLE? CAN'T ANYONE ELSE JUST HAVE A GAME ON THE DAMN MACHINE? WHY MUST YOU THINK OF ONLY YOU AND YOUR STUPID LITTLE CRONIES? BIG DEAL EVEN IF YOU HAVE YOUR BUDDIES WITH YOU. AFTER YOU HAD YOUR STUPID LITTLE GAME, LEAVE. OR AT LEAST LET SOMEONE ELSE HAVE A GODDAMN TURN ON IT. IT ISN'T ALL ABOUT YOU OR YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS. THE MAP OF THE WORLD IS NOT ON YOU, THE MOON DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND NEITHER DO YOU OWN THE ARCADE OR THE FREAKIN' MACHINE. SO SHOW SOME COURTESY AND KNOW WHEN TO STOP! AND PLEASE BE MORE TACTFUL AND SHOW SOME GOOD SENSITIVITY AND CONSIDERATION AND FUCKIN' LET PEOPLE HAVE A TURN UNDISTURBED. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME ANYMORE. SO WHAT IF YOU'RE STRONGER? BEING BETTER AT ARCADE GAMES DOESN'T MAKE YOU DICTATOR OR SOLE OWNER OF THE KOF MACHINE SO GODDAMN SHOW SOME BASIC COURTESY AND LEAVE ONCE EVERYONE OF YOU HAD A TURN OR SOMETHING. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE MACHINE IS? YOUR PERSONAL BELONGING? THEN FUCKIN' TOW IT HOME, LEAVE IT THERE AND YOU'LL HAVE IT ALL TO YOURSELF. OR SHOW SOME CONSIDERATION!!! IS IT THAT DIFFICULT?! WILL YOU LOSE YOUR HEAD OR LIMB TO LET SOMEONE ELSE HAVE THE GAME? OR WHY DON'T YOU JUST STICK YOUR DAMN HEAD DOWN THE TOILET BOWL OR JUMP OFF A FLYING PLANE AFTER WRITING YOUR FAREWELL NOTE TO THE WORLD? NO, YOU'LL CONTAMINATE THE ENTIRE OCEAN WITH YOUR SICK INCONSIDERATION. JUST BANG YOUR HEAD AGAINST A WALL UNTIL YOU DIE YOU SELFISH BASTARDS. Or if you call me immature for ranting like that over a simple arcade gaming session, try not ranting after this kind of thing happens to you multiple times starting from when you're 8 years old. If you still think that I'm immature, fine, STICK WITH THAT THINKING OR SUE ME. I don't care.
Firstly, I failed my Organic Chemistry common test. Miss Lye just sent me a message asking me to join a study group for Organic Chemistry. I deserve it. Then I'm going to die for my exams.
Secondly, I bought a Abingdon Boys School CD. Although it's a bit expensive ($28.50), but it's worth it. Their music is good and you couldn't believe how happy I first felt when I bought it.
Thirdly, EOY 09' is going to happen despite the Shiro Tsubasa Animation Club (STAC) disbanding.
Fourth, I want to cosplay.
Fifth, the very first factor and monetary matters are going to prevent me from doing it. I NEED TO BUCK UP. Not just saying that I need to, but really doing it.
Sixth, maybe I should start revision already?
Seven, reminders to self: Organic Chem report, Biochemistry presentation, Microbiology lab book, Cell Biology lab book, Biostatistics.
Eight, I'm going to have a haircut.

Yes, it's a Pokemon and it's possible to cosplay as one. Laugh all you want. Careful not to choke yourself.

22nd December 2008Ok, this post was done late in the night so I'm not going to comment on all of the photos I posted. I'm too tired. -_-
Anyway, on the date stated above, the Queens had a gathering for celebrating Christmas and to watch the movie Twilight. We originally intended to head to Plaza Singapura but Alicia suggested that it was too boring there, there's no atmosphere for gift exchange and that VivoCity would provide better scenery for photo-taking, there are more places with good atmosphere and there's a cinema anyway at VivoCity so there we headed.
Then we went shopping, and exchanged gifts, took lots of photos, chatted and such.
I gave Cheryl a jewellery box, paid $10 for Alicia's bag so that already counts as her present and to En Noi I gave a thin scalf/shawl. And in return I got a handphone strap, a mousepad and a magnet and 3 tubes of Toberone chocolate from each one respectively.
THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE~

Oh in addition here's Ruroni Kenshin with a camera...
20th December 2008
I met Wen Hui nee-chan at 11a.m. And I was only late for a few minutes. Then Murphy was late for...say, 5 hours. He's coming only at 4p.m. The Tsunade in me was slightly twitching. I've waited for someone for 2 hours before, but not 5. Thank goodness there was Wen Hui nee-san with me.
So Wen Hui and I walked around for a bit, talked some crap, tried doing origami(thank you for your patience, Wen Hui...XD) and I bought Cheryl and En Noi's Christmas presents. Then we headed to Pan-in-the-Box after lunch at 2pm and allowed our inner fangirls some freedom. The merchandise there is beyond awesome. And I agree with my Japanese teacher. "Okane ga nai toki, kanashii desu" (roughly translates as 'when no money, sad')...Kore mo. "Okane ga nai, nanimo kaimasen. ('when no money, cannot buy anything')
Simply put, it sucks to be poor. Oh, there were cosplay costumes there on display too. Like the seifuku from Lucky Star, Suiseiseki and Suigintou's costumes, the exorcists' uniforms from D.Gray-man, Road Camelot's shirt ($108 T_T), Naruto's jumpsuit, Lacus Clyne's outfit and even Gai sensei's green training suit. (REALLY, THERE IS ONE, WEN HUI!!!!!) That awoke the cosplay wannabe. Crud. So many things to buy, so little money. T_______________________________________T
Then after an hour or so, and a relative lot of wondering around and complaining, (Wen Hui, I've read your blog post. Honto ni daijoubu ka? o.o;) we returned to Hougang Mall to wait for the arrival of nii-san. We ordered the two flavours of sundae (hot fudge for Wen Hui, strawberry for me), sat down at Mac and waited and talked crap. And waited and talked some more crap. And we called him. He was on the bus. Then we talked more crap about Naruto character pairings, who uses 'ore' in anime and etc. FINALLY, nii-san arrives at approximately 5... (you need to kick your habit, nii-san)
We had dinner at the nearby hawker centre. Nii-san suddenly zoomed to this stall with a cool-looking...furnishing and he ordered pizza after browsing the menu and asking Wen Hui and I what we like. When the pizza came, we cried 'Itadakimasu' and tucked in, Wen Hui and I immediately went for our respective drinks. Yes, it was SPICY. After a few more bites and a bit of poking, I found a little piece of red chilli in it. And immediately thought "I thought I told him I DON'T TAKE SPICY FOOD?" and asked him. It turned out that he told the person, "Non-spicy, but add a bit of spice." .........you IDIOT, that's near equivalent to ordering the spicy one!!!!!
Thank goodness we still managed to finish the pizza. And PLEASE. NON-SPICY MEANS NON-SPICY. Leave it at that and don't toy with the words or regret when you take a bite, geddit? But. After that, nii-san still had some sense to order something like fishball soup. Upon taking a sip of the soup, relief flooded me and I was thinking "finally something that tastes edible". Good and thank you for being tactful. We headed to Orchard after dinner and to HMV. And once again, IT SUCKS BEING POOR. UVERworld CDs are finally being sold at HMV and I can't even buy one of them. Same for the Ayumi Hamasaki single, the Mika Nakashima CDs and the soundtracks. *sob sniffle sniffle* After somemore crapping and transportation, I'm finally home.
I took a bath and then I just sat down and did a few speed drawings. (In case of anyone who doesn't know, speed drawings in our style refers to switching on any random piece of music and draw out something you can relate to as the music plays. Then stop when the music stop) Five of them, in fact. Some I'm satisfied with, the others...need a bit of improvement. But one thing's for sure...they're all prettier than their artist I need to draw more...XD
But. I feel a slight really itching urge to swear for some strange reason. Or maybe punch him for fun. At a certain someone that only Murphy nii-san and Wen Hui nee-san are aware of. No, not Udo. The other one. He's probably the one who can truly call out the black side if things get further. I'm not going to hold my words back like I am now when that happens.
Ja, this ends here. Oyasumi nasai...
I have multiple personalities or something. On a personality quiz featuring Naruto females, I've took the quiz multiple times and gotten myself multiple results. First Sakura, then Konan, then Tsunade, then Tenten, then Temari, THEN Tsunade again.
My favourite result:
Godaime (Go-dai-me) Hokage Tsunade
"You are a fiery, fierce woman. You are always aware of the current situation, and you care deeply about others. You don't care what other people say and do whatever you like. Dang, people do not want to mess with you, girl. Like I said before, you are fiery, so you get REALLY angry easily, so people tend to be careful around you."
So PEOPLE BEWARE, I've gotten this result twice and I can use superhuman power to stomp on the ground, cause a mini quake and the ground to crack 36.73689 metres long and 18.2790 metres deep into the ground without cracking or marring my Road Camelot heels in any way at all; flick you in the forehead and give you a brain concussion; or punch you and send you flying for 25,357,896 metres. Hey look I've just got you a free trip to Malaysia. Then heal you to full health and beat you up all over again..........................................just joking... :D
And yes, I'm a bit high. ^_______^ So excuse my lovely evil thoughts. Waha...
I've learnt my lesson. Stay away from horror if you can't take it.
I just clicked on the little link on MB0805's blog which stated 'www.hotel626.com' and got myself mentally scarred for life. Ok, maybe not for life. For a while, at least. The atmosphere of the game rivals the creepiness of 'Desolation 2: Bunker of Fear' and 'Psai' on gamesfree.ca. Go check them out. ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS.
NOTE: ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE OR IS UNABLE TO TOLERATE HORROR DON'T, I REPEAT, DON'T CONTINUE READING THIS POST.
Although hotel626 doesn't feature zombies and you don't see a mess as an aftermath of a zombie raid, parts of rotting flesh, blood, corpses, severed body parts.etc etc, there are scenes featuring the supernatural.
WARNING! SPOILER:
There is this one stage where after you escape the shadowy abyss that threatens to swallow you, you enter a room where the ghost of a maid lingers. You're armed with a camera. The caption, before you officially attempt the stage says: "She lives in the darkness, show her the light." This pretty much explains the objective of this stage. Take pictures of the ghost.
But the lovely spectre isn't going to make things that easy for you, she'll float and move around the room while you attempt to take a picture of her. How typical. And after chasing her around the room and successfully taking a small number of pictures, she'll appear right in front of your face, howl, and show her already dead face, as if telling you to leave now or she'll crawl out of your computer screen and claw your eyes out.
Then your character leaves and climbs down a staircase, enters a door after nearly getting himself/herself swallowed by the shadowy abyss once again and yet enters another room. This time featuring a baby. Before you approach the cot, start cooing over how cute the baby is and start pinching his/her cheeks, think again. Are you willing to stretch your hand out to a potentially lethal baby that's able to bite off your finger? I think not. Anyways you're supposed to turn the music box in the right timing so that the baby sleeps peacefully and you get to go out, alive. What if you can't? The horror-of-a-baby wakes up, stands at the cot, then crawls out of your computer screen, and bites off your left hand, your character in the game dies. I'm stuck there. And I don't plan on continuing the game anytime soon.
Some of you might already know that I had a nightmare of zombies chasing me that very night after the first time I played House of the Dead 4. And now I'm still a little jumpy and paranoid after I've played hotel626; and I don't dare to sleep now. Because if I do I think I'll start dreaming of the spirits from beyond chasing after me. Maids and babies. Good golly gosh, I better stay away from the game. >___<
Oh, and that game took a picture of me playing because I activated my webcam. Here it is:

((I took off my ear phones because I had enough of the sound effects...>__< Now that was unglam, really.))
EOY COSPLAY
I woke up at 11 am today and chiong already. And Wen Hui-nee-chan arrived at 12...I'm impressed. She always manages to wake up at really early times, and get to her destinations at really early times.
For the event, I was working for ticketing...well, not ticketing. Because I was originally assigned to be a bouncer. But they had enough people, I think. So, then from my shift, which was 2p.m onwards, all about selling tickets (only to the media for my section) and giving out stacks and hordes of magazines. Although afterward we got to go around the place hunting for merchandise and after receiving a goodie bag. And I bought 2 Itachi bookmarks. *fangirlish squeal*
And thank you to Wen Hui-nee-chan for all that rushing about and taking the magazines.
DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN THESE PICTURES. SOME OF THEM ARE TAKEN BY ME BUT NOT ALL. THE OTHERS SOLELY BELONG TO THEIR OWNERS ON SGCAFE.COM.
