New Month + New Layout

Music: Paramore - Decode

Sigh.
Hard to believe it's already December.
But anyway, new layout!
What do you think of it? I got bored of the old one, wanted to try something different so here we go.
As to why Yuuko, well I think she rocks! =P Besides, I'm still kinda addicted to xxxHolic now bahaha.

Went to Queensbay today, Asimo was there.
Who or what's Asimo?
To quote Wikipedia,

"ASIMO is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company."
Too bad. Asimo ain't no Gundam, or anything funky from any other sci-fi dimensions.

What can he do?
He can run up to 6km/h. Fast? HELL no. He can dance a little. Talk a little. And that's it.
We humans have a long, LONG way to go before we go around piloting gundam-like robots.
Still, not all that bad I suppose. At least we're getting somewhere.

Other than that, Borders is having a Twilight promotion thingy, where you can get Twilight + New Moon for RM49.90.

Naturally I bought it. I mean, they usually sell just one for like RM30+ so it's quite a good offer, I think?



I remember blogging about collecting Samurai Deeper Kyo sometime last year.
Well finally, the last volume of Samurai Deeper Kyo is out. Phew, that's one collection down.

Final words for November: Happy holidays everyone!

D.Gray-Man - Completed!

Music: Surface - Yume no Tsuduku he

Phew, finally i'm done with D.Gray-man! 103 episodes. And I didn't skip a single episode bahahahahahaha!

Sob. I'm gonna miss Allen-kun, Kanda, Lavi and Tyki.
Looks like we'll have to wait quite a while for the next season so...it's time for me to catch up with the manga @_@

New addition to my list...

Updated Idiot List (28/11/2008):

1. Suzaku Kururugi (Code Geass) - Still the dumbest character ever!
2. Shion Uzuki (Xenosaga) - OMG. Can't tell you how much I dislike this chick.
3. Rikuson Hakugen (Koutetsu Sangokushi)
4. Chaoji (D.Gray-man) - BAH. What the hell. Uber lousy character. Thank God D.Gray-man's over. No more "Anita-sama! Mahoja-sama! WAAAAA *sobs*"
5. Shuichi Shindo (Gravitation)
6. Lacus Clyne (Gundam Seed/Destiny)
7. Saji Crossroad (Gundam 00) - Another self-righteous idiot.
8. Cloud (FF7)
9. Shinn Asuka (GSD)
10. Lunamaria and Meyrin Hawke (GSD)
11. Peter Petrelli (Heroes) - From Hero, to ZERO. And I don't mean the Code Geass Zero!

Anime Spree

Music: The Killers - Human

I guess you'll all think I'm nuts, cos I finished xxxHolic, xxxHolic Kei and Code Geass R2 within 3 days bahahaha!

(I usually watch stuff reeeeeally slow)

Sorry to say this, but Code Geass actually bored me to tears...other than the initial episodes and the last few. Everything else in between is just...too complicated and silly. Everyone is fighting for all the wrong reasons! The twists and turns are absolutely mind-boggling too @_@

xxxHolic is quite interesting, but a little too slow-paced. Thank God it's hilarious to watch, makes it a lot more bearable. It's really weird to hear Jun Fukuyama as Watanuki in xxxHolic, and then as Lelouch in Code Geass. Major difference! And Watanuki even did a Lelouch pose in the 2nd episode of Kei lol.

A much better series than Tsubasa Chronicles. Now Tsubasa...the twists and turns in it are worse than those in Code Geass! Insanity, I tell you.

Ah seiyuus and voice actors. They rock with their versatility!

Updated Idiot List (27/11/2008):

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be? take revenge?
Honestly speaking, I don't know. First reaction, cry my heart out. Next...betray him by *censored*! Mwahahaha!

To have strange powers like them heroes mwahahaha! (yeah yeah, I'm nuts)

3. What is the criteria for your dream lover?
Tall, dark and handsome? BWAHAHAHAHA!

4. Do you think that the importance of excelling in studies is over-rated? Do grades guarantee success? OR is good grades a must in the competitive society that we are currently living in?
Hell yeah, it's way over-rated. Getting straight A's in school does not guarantee you success in the future. What are grades anyway? Some rotten way to judge us poor students.

5. If you have kids (now or in the future) would you say that your kids are an investment or a responsibility or an asset?
Responsibility I guess.

Both? Lol.

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
As long as it takes!
...but must not be too long haha.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
I'll brood and cry and sob and moan and groan about it for a while, and hopefully get over it soon. But that's no easy feat.

9. Do you think the world would be better off if everyone has the same religion/ethnicity/ etc?
Why should it matter anyway? Is it so hard to accept people for who they are?

'Interesting! Is he rich? I'm interested!' =P

Successful and rich. Bahahaha.

Go back to sleep lah. Lol.

14. Would you give all in a relationship?
Yeah, I would.

15. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
I don't know...tough question =/ Neither I guess? I don't think it's quite possible to be in love with two people at once but then again what do I know?

16. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
I *might* forgive, but I'll never, NEVER forget.

17.Do you prefer being single or having a relationship?
Depends.

Coffee Experience - Epic Fail!

Ah. It didn't work out as well as I had expected.

It's not that I have a problem with the duties - my problem is with the timing of the shifts. Guess what the night shift is up til 1am officially, and 2am unofficially. Or more. Naturally, my mum will never allow that! It's crazy, honestly.

In fact, she rescued me tonight and I escaped at 11pm.
Felt horribly guilty too, and well duh, the 'whatever-smug-arrogant' look on the manager's face when he was talking to my mum (and me, and I apologized!) didn't help much either. When I was leaving, I felt really uncomfortable cos everyone else had to stay back...and now they have to do what I was suppose to do too.

How now guys?

I think I'll have to reject this...job/experience. Not because I can't stand it or anything, but because it's really unfair to everyone else around me. Very obviously they need more help at night, so what's the point of hiring someone who can't work the late shift?

And they work on rotation too, I believe. One week day shift, another week the 2nd one. I can't exactly insist on having the day shift all the time. What if two or more people insist on that as well? Who's gonna work the late shift then? Unfair to all, the management and the rest of the staff. Some people probably won't care about that as long as they get their way, but I do. I don't wanna piss people off for being uberly choosy and prissy.

I just can't bring myself to do that, I just can't. If you agree on me quitting the job, say aye!

Of Coffee and Tea

Music: Paramore - Decode

I am now temporarily employed.

Took them long enough to call back, but anyway, I now have a job at Coffee Bean. The Queensbay one of course.

Hmmmm I wonder if I'll get free coffee? Bahaha.

Unfortunately, I guess I'll be making coffee (hopefully) instead and not drinking coffee.

Who knows, I might end up as the dishwasher...forever. As opposed to, being a cashier or barista (sp?).

I start today, at 6pm (odd timing). Wish me luck!

Another 'S' addition to my idiot list:
Saji Crossroad from Gundam 00

Will post a fully updated list soon.

Xenosaga III : Completed!

Music: Adele - Hometown Glory

Woohoo, a new record for me - I have completed Xenosaga III in less than 3 weeks!



In around 40 hours or so. By far the shortest game I've ever played, seriously. Hard to believe I guess? The cutscenes are ridiculously long, but luckily you can choose to skip it all (you can even skip conversations), and that's what I did.

The ending is quite sad, and is definitely the longest closing scene I've ever watched. Around 45 minutes I think, plus conversation. Well actually I didn't really watch it, I just left it on and watched something else.

Anyway, I'm glad that's over and done with.

Let's see if I can actually finish off Magna Carta now...

Enough of Mooncake

Music: Modest Mouse - Dashboard

I am finally done with Moonlight Resonance!

At least, it didn't take me that long to finish it this time.

What do I think of it?

Well. It's not so bad, but it's not as good as I thought it would be.
The ending's a little too rushed, and somewhat illogical. Why on earth were they harping on the 'Why did grandma spent 30 minutes talking to *insert evil bitch here* before she (grandma, not the bitch) died'? Completely, and absolutely irrelevant, as it proves nothing! She could have spent those 30 minutes cursing that sick bitch, couldn't she? What the hell man. Illogical.

And also, why are all the 'siblings' marrying each other? Spent more than 20 years as siblings, and suddenly they're married? With kids? Wearing almost identical glasses? Scary, really scary. They may not be blood related, but still.......stupid.

Anyway, enough about that. It was enjoyable, and I should just stop complaining lol.

~.~

Went to Gurney today with Sharyl and her sis, checked out the new wing.

It is...intimidating. Cos I don't think I can afford anything from at least half of the new shops there.

And there's no McDonald's! How can there be no McDonald's in a mall? No matter how high end it's suppose to be, McDonald's is an important outlet! Where will all the kids eat? Everything else is expensive. Darn them. They better open an outlet there soon or else!

We went there specifically for Swenson's and guess what - it's not open yet. Sigh. Nichi's not ready either. Double sigh.

La Senza and Stuff

Music: Lady Gaga - Paparazzi

Okay, so I'm suppose to be looking for a job right?

Call me a choosy brat if you must, but I don't really want any clothes related jobs. Sadly, that seems to be the only thing my mum approves of. I tried my luck at Borders, but they're not hiring anyone until mid-December. After the part time workers go back to school I guess.

I wanna buy clothes, not sell them. I've seen them workers at clothes shops. 99% of them have sour looks on their faces, they're doing nothing (especially those with only one or two workers), and...well. Other than earning money, I don't think they're doing anything else useful AT ALL. I don't wanna be that person! I mean, I feel sorry for them - now I have to feel sorry for myself? Oh God. That's a million times worse than selling ice cream, and I thought that was bad enough! Actually, that was quite fun, the only thing that bothered me was the lack of customers, and not the job itself. Have you seen Queensbay Mall on weekdays? It's like Siberia during winter - empty, desolate, lifeless.

My...uh...relative working at GAP mentioned something about shops like La Senza (lingerie shop, for those who don't know) and Topshop (is that one word or what) paying RM5 per hour or something, but you know what? Those shops are the ones with the least customers! That's like, a death sentence for me. Even I don't wanna shop there, what the hell.

I guess I'll only try my luck in those shops as a last resort. Otherwise, I don't think I can stand it, even if I get paid more! Too bad I'm not money-faced enough lol.

Need to look elsewhere. Some office thingy maybe...I'd rather be typing letters, writing emails, or filing stuff, or anything at all. And at least I get to sit down! =(

New Person to add to my Idiot List:

Shion Uzuki from Xenosaga I - III (Selfish b****)

Another 'S'.

I'm On A Roll!

Music: Random Songs from Xenosaga III OST

Probably, you guys would think that I'm nuts but guess what, I'm almost done with Xenosaga III! Despite its slowness, endless conversations and cutscenes. Just one more chapter, and I'm done!

Congratulate me? =P I should be able to finish this game by next week or so *crosses fingers* If I don't suddenly give up. Again. Haha.

Other than that, what else have I been doing?

Uh...well Season 1 of Britain's Next Top Model ended last week, and they just started showing the second season yesterday. So...yeah, I'm still watching the catwalks and catfights.

To everyone else having holidays now, hope you're doing something more useful than what I've been doing so far.

Random Quiz

Was reading Mun Cheng's blog, saw her post on quizzes, and decided to do the quiz too.

Dreamy Idealist (DI)

Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.

Too many words? @_@

November Update

Music: Abba - Head Over Heels

After October's frantic-almost-everyday-blogging, I guess I'm slowing down a little in November.

Now is that a good thing or bad thing?

Anyway, it's already the fourth (technically, the fifth) day of the neverending-holidays.

So what have I been doing so far?

• Watching Britain's Next Top Model. Kinda fun to watch, some of the girls are total bitches though.
  
• Watching America's Next Top Model (Cycle 11). Not very exciting. I watched some episodes of the 10th cycle on Youtube too.
  
• Trying to finish off Moonlight Resonance. A very slow progress. I've been skipping most of the scenes. Cannot stand Susanna Kwan 'Sa Yi', Bosco Wong 'Kor Kor' and Linda Chung 'Mui Mui'. Irritating trio.
  
• Playing Xenosaga III on the PS2. This game, has way too much conversation. I guess I'm the only one patient enough to play this? *cough*Trix and Becky*cough*
  
• Downloading Jigoku Shoujo, Gundam 00 and TOTA. I'm really taking my own sweet time to watch it though lol.

90210 premiered on Tuesday night on Star World, and I actually watched it. It's not that awful, but it's not great either. Shenae Graimes (sp?) is really pretty, but she's just not very lead-character-ish. Boring. And the guys in the show? Pfft. Even worse.

Heroes (Season 3) will start showing on Starworld, 10 - 11pm this Thursday, and although I'll be watching the show, the storyline has gotten really...strange. I don't like it =( I have this huge urge to punch Peter Petrelli again haha. If anyone is planning to watch this, please let me know?
