[ clt : Sing to the Dawn songs & Laura Fygi songs, all of them I just stole from Stella's computer heh heh heh... ]
I'm back in 3 dance because one is cancelled due to choreographer's sprained ankle! Hee hee, makes me glad I accepted the offer for the last dance, it means I will still maintain my dancing points. I have all three Apractices today though >.< It's really dancing from morning till night... This is just my lunch break.
It's mid term break and there are so many things I can do!! There are 2 BBQs this week and my dance practices schedule isn't exactly confirmed so I can't confirm the BBQs either. Plus my throat hasn't healed so I very well can't eat BBQ-ed food, now, can I? I also want to watch JAMX, this bad competition held at Zouk, a very hip famous club. An ex-KR band will be competing and two of the members are my block's seniors. I have never gone clubbing the whole time I'm in Singapore!! And Anne has gone so many times -_- She's still China Jump-ing till this day *looking at Anne's MSN nick*
Then, of course, I want to shoooooooppppppp but when? ;_;

Lately I've had several offers to take up various new challenges. I know taking them up will make me very busy and very tired, and at times, I might regret taking them up. I'm very lucky to have people who are incredibly supportive of me, people who encourage me not to back out of everything, people who appreciate my efforts, and people who are always willing to listen. This week I turned down the offer of the director post of an Anime Club project (I still have a standing offer to be its Publicity Director next year) and accepted the offer of dancing a 4th dance. That will mean 4 dances to be mastered in one and a half week. I'm crazy, oh yes, I am. I know I thought of resigning entirely from Dance Night, but several people have unknowingly or knowingly give me their encouragements and supports, and so dancing 4 dances in one night, I will. And to think, a year ago I had never even danced. I'm still a lousy dancer, though ^^

My voice, where have thy gone?! I skipped choir practice today (and church as well, I'm so bad... >.<) because I can't even hold one note. My speaking voice even sounds like a bashed speaker. Which is bad, since I'm in such a singing mood lately, thanks to watching Sing to the Dawn 3 nights in a row (not to mention all those time we played the CD during Publicity Push). Jasmine is dead sick of the songs, but they really got stuck in my head right now.
Icha, you know what, daddy is sleeping with male blue rabbits now... -_- What a pervert.
Black, I still want that plush Kero-chan. BUY IT FOR ME!
Daddy, remember, if Blackie doesn't buy me that Kero-chan, I'll nag you till you die.
J, I'll write you soon!! Sarah, how are you? I need to write you too.... :)
Yin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

It's 4 AM + and I'm still so awake. I'm currently surfing around reading Aya x Ken WK fics (AyaxKen is one of the two shounen-ai/yaoi I read, the other one being KamuixSubaru ^^) Can't seem to find a lot of them, but then I've never really in to the WK fanfic scene so I don't know where I can find good fics. I was wading through fanfiction.net collection but well, ff.net rarely have a good fic >.< I particularly can't stand the Americanized CCS fics *shudder*
Term break starts today and most of the Malaysian and the Singaporeans are going back home. I want to go home too! At least at home I can relax, not think about anything, and have fun with my friends. I kinda miss the shopping malls where I usually shop with friends or just sit down at some ridiculously expensive cafe, eating nice cakes, drinking yummy coffee and talk for a couple hours. I miss my 3sos1 girls!!!! They are the most fun shopping bunch! All of us just loved Plaza Senayan... I miss shopping with Pie, Indri, Cecil & Natalia! Waaaaaaaahhh~! I miss Plaza Senayan!!
//selene off to look for more fanfics

What a night!!! Hall Production is officially over and successful! We had a full house tonight and everything was running smoothly. We had a briefing before the show where Liching & Wen Jye, our producer & asst. producer (aka, the people above), handed out personal thank you cards to everyone (there are over 70 ppl in the entire Steering Comm, including stage crew & cast), hand-made Ferrero Rocher flowers, personalized coasters, and our very own program booklets. Aren't they so nice?? Their thank you note to me was also very sweet. I get to keep one of our publicity crepe lantern as well :)
Tonight's audience was filled with friends and family of the cast and there were lots of bouquet of flowers being passed around. The JCRC brought lots of bouquet to give out to the cast as well. I want a bouquet for myself too... ;_;
Time to relax and rest, before Hell Week of Dancing starts........
Friday, February 16, 2001, 10:18 p.m.
Tonight I had an early leave from the show (despite the fact that tonight is the VIP's night and there's bound to be FOOD) because I *supposedly* need to study for my quiz tomorrow. After half an hour of tinkering around with the newly-installed required software for tomorrow's quiz, I found out I have no idea on what to do with it (because I skipped the tutorial) and where I can get help (because no one I know is taking it). I checked out the course's website and saw that tomorrow's quiz is only worth 5% of my entire grade. Screw the quiz. Let's make new layouts instead. I need to test my newly installed Photoshop.
Thursday, February 15, 2001, 10:55 p.m.
Just a quickie. Sing to the Dawn premiered today and it was FANTASTIC. And I'm not "being defensive" (as Lijin says). I was taken by surprise myself. Sure, it wasn't perfect. I mean, it's just a hall production, but it was so full of emotion that that simple story became very, very touching. I'm getting some of the cast flowers on Saturday ^_~ (esp. Leong!)
Talking about V-day, I didn't get any flowers :( I LOVE flowers, why do I keep buying them myself? ^^ But I got lots of chocolate and the messages that came with them was along the line of "eat this when you're well". The chocolates are still lying beside my computer now, waiting for my throat to heal itself.
Oh Mommy, *laughs* Daddy called me this morning just as I was rushing to get my stuffs because I was late to go to UCC. Isn't Daddy just so nice? He called me all the way from US on Valentine's Day to say he loves me (ok, he didn't, but I'm sure that's what he meant with all those name-calling). Then he was asking whether I'm in that ecircles thingy and I asked him what's in there and he said in that not-so-innocent tone of his, "Oh... nothiiiiiinnnngggg..."
Ack, need a shower.
Thursday, February 15, 2001, 07:20 a.m.
Are you surprised I'm awake at this hour? Well, I couldn't sleep and I feel awful X_X I think it's the combination of stress, anxiety, painful throat, coughs, headaches, nausea (my antibiotics are doing funny things in my stomach), and that ever-ringing alarm clock that did it for me.
Hall Production opens this evening and the Comm people still have lots of things to do and so I will have one very busy day today. Meanwhile, I'm not as healthy as I thought I had been. Yesterday was my free day so I rested in my room then went off to the library for a while to return some books and borrow more then when I got back I was back to being feverish and light-headed again. Then at night I was at the UCC packing 1050 goodie bags (there were 6 of us, though). Jasmine let me off early and spared me off doing some things because I looked so sick but I still feel very exhausted.
Anyway, just now I was thinking of resigning from Dance Night. I'm in 3 dances and I haven't started REALLY practicing for them. I will have the Production for 3 consecutive nights starting today and therefore I will only start pratice on Sunday or Monday, and that'll only give me 1 and a half week until performance day. I really don't think I can make it with this rate. Next week will be midterm break and my dance practice per day may well be up to 8 hours a day. I need rest. I have midterms and projects coming, as well as the Bazaar on the 26th and 27th, which Biz Comm is in charge of.
I'm going for breakfast. We get breakfast and dinner on weekdays here, but you can count the number of times I've been taking the breakfast since I live here with one hand. I never wake up for it before, and I don't eat breakfast ^^ (it's unhealthy, yeah, don't follow my lifestyle, or you'll be as sick as me...)

今日 は 元気 です! 天気 が いい だし、 気持ち も いい です。。。 素晴らしい!
でも、夕べ たいへん な こと が 聞いた、 私 は ダンス ナイット の ため に もう ふたつ ダンス が あります。 :( 私 は ダンス が 上手 じゃない、それに 一週間 ばかり れんしゅう できるん です。 今週 れんしゅう が できません、プロダクシオン だから。。。 まあ、 よく がんばって できる と おもって います!
ああ、そう。。。 最後 の 日本語 の レッセン に、先生 に さよなら の メッセジ を くれました。 よく がんばりました とか、 たにしいかった とか、 勉強 を つずけて ください とか と いわれました。先生 は 本当 に やさしかったん です!

Happy Valentine, minna! I'm much better now, since I've taken all my medicines and gotten enough rest. My computer is working again, thanks to the saving angel of all Computing students, Mr. Debugger, JTG! ^_~
Yin, thanks so much for the Valentine card!
Tuesday, February 13, 2001, 08:37 p.m.
I feel awful. I woke up this morning feeling tired and sick. I couldn't even get up from my bed. When I did, I felt so sick I had to lie down again. After a few hours I managed to get up, dressed myself, and went to the university's health service to see a doctor.
It turned out that I have tonsilitis. I just feel terrible the whole day and spent the day sleeping. Called my mother about it and she offered to fly here @_@ But I think I should be OK tomorrow. At least I hope tomorrow I can spend some considerable time on my feet. I don't want to miss the full dress rehearsal tomorrow.
Oh and something's wrong with my computer again. I can't connect to the Net, dunno why. Right now I'm in Steven's room, using his computer and checking out his settings to find out what's wrong with mine. I still can't figure out what's wrong.
Monday, February 12, 2001, 11:41 p.m.
@_@ I had never formatted my computer before. Stupid me for thinking it would be a piece of cake. But, it's formatted now, oh yeah... running smoothly and fast, because the network is working as usual. But installing programs is a REAL pain.
IceCream : Steven, I need PSP
SH7 : It's in the "master file" folder
(several minutes later)
IceCream : Steven, I need Winzip now to open it...
SH7 : It's in the "others" folder
(several minutes later)
IceCream : Steven, I need DivX and Avi patch
SH7 : It's somewhere around "movie"
IceCream : What "movie"?
SH7 : Oops, haven't shared it...
IceCream : X_X
It's really driving me insane... I still have several more things to install (printer & scanner softwares, adobe acrobat, microsoft word & excel [which I really hate but must have]) but I'll just do it tomorrow. At least I recovered some of my ICQ list, all my MSN list, my files, my mp3s, but not my fonts (I screwed up somewhere in transferring them) :(
I came down with a very painful sore throat today, so are most people in the hall, since during meeting & matches today I noticed a lot of them were talking in raspy voices ^^ Angelin sounded very sexy ^_~ She's making honey water for both of us now, isn't she sweet? :)
It must have run in the family. All my cousins are very prone to getting sore throat. My brother would get sore throat if he's in a bad shape. My cousins, mostly, would get sore throat if they eat something fried, candies, or chocolates. I myself can get sore throat from either exhaustion or eating bad food. If my mother or my aunts were here right now, they'd choke me with their foul-smelling, bad-tasting breweries and dozens of assorted traditional Chinese medicines.
KR had 2 IHG finals today, the girls' tennis and the guys' volley and we won both. KR all the way!!!! We still have 4 more finals to go this week and we've bagged 4 gold medals as well. Hip hip hurray! The volley match was very exciting, although we won 3 straight sets, but I had a meeting during the last set (I begged, I pleaded, but my Producer wouldn't hear any of it) and didn't see the moments of victory.
Very tired now.......
Monday, February 12, 2001, 01:49 p.m.
The network has been down for a couple of days, and when it's working it's damn slow. It should be fine by tomorrow, though. Plus I haven't been in the mood to blog ^^ Or do anything, as a matter of fact. I've been quite busy lately, and will still be busy this week, since Hall Production opens on Thursday and I have to be there every single night, including the full dress rehearsal on Wednesday. Thank God I'm not a stage crew. They'll be there since Tuesday at dawn to move the set in ^^ I'm also having dance practice every night now. I'm a total moron in dancing, every practice session is agony for me. And it's not making my foot any better as well. After Dance Night on Feb 28, I'm _really_ going to get this foot checked properly.
Last Saturday I went to Maru to get March's Asuka, but since I didn't order, there was no copy left. I was very upset since I wanted to read the first installment of Yukiru Sugisaki's Lagoon Engine, but luckily Kino has it! Kino usually doesn't have Asuka... and the price is just 24 cents more expensive ^^ The X section is so thin -_- but the Fuuma cover is really nice. I think I'll make a wallpaper out of it, when I have the time. *looks at her schedule this week and sweatdrops*
Everybody whom I haven't replied yet.... err.. just be patient ^^ J, how are you? Your scribble.nu's been down lately.
Saturday, February 10, 2001, 03:59 a.m.
It's 4 AM and I'm studying for my "sugoku, totemo muzukashii" (so my sensei said) Jap test, which will be in oh, 10 more hours? I came back from D&D around 1.30 AM. It was quite fun. Some people really wore cool costumes, unlike my block. I think my block's people are very serious people. Even the MC tonight remarked Kum Chuen, our president & my block mate, was a very serious person after he made his speech. Anyway, A block's Flintstone's table was impressive, so was C block's Batman table, who won best costume. C block's final years all wore cheerleading costumes and they performed that Bring It On cheer on stage during the pageant skit. It was so funny, especially since Kelvin Ang, ex-president, was in the spotlight performing his cheerleading moves with his err...rather not-so-thin body, trying to appear cute and sexy ^^ The entire D&D comm was dressed in angel costume for the girls and dracula costume for the guys. A particular D&D comm member looked very nummy in his dracula costume ^_~
Contrary to my guess, Shirlaine didn't win the Miss Kent Ridge title, but Saoyung won the Mr. KR title ^^ Congrats!!! Title of Miss Kent Ridge goes to D block's pageant girl, Irene. A lot of people really supported her, although I don't know why. I shall always remember her as the scary playmaker in our handball team which yells a lot during matches and scores lightning-fast goals mean enough to devastate the toughest goalie on the campus.
I have pics and I'll scan them as soon as I get them developed. I still have a lot of shots left in my camera. Maybe I'll take more pics on next week's Hall Production. I'm gonna be decked with red/black one-shoulder Thai inspired costume.
David wants me to send a pic of an anime character to represent me in the Anime Club's website's committee section to represent me. I can't decide on who to choose... Damn, forgot to ask Icha's opinion on this just now. I'm thinking about Yukino, Misao (don't ask), or some CLAMP character (can't decide who....). I've never really identify myself with any character.
Thursday, February 8, 2001, 11:33 p.m.
*insert tired face*
I was in the dance room right now, trying to practice amidst the D&D full dress rehearsal's blasting music. It was really fun, the pageant couples from each block were doing their catwalk thing and dancing and posing. I think my block's pageant really has a chance to win. At least Shirlaine has the hottest style ^_~ Oh my new dance is Janet Jackson's Doesn't Really Matter, BTW.
My desk is cleaaann now. The scanner is uncovered, lying there sparkling white and the papers are all neatly stacked according to their matters of urgency (the most urgent I rolled inside my empty flower vase >.<) I give the desk 2 days till it turns into a shipwreck again.
I just found out yesterday that yesterday was the Chinese Valentine's Day. Yes, there IS such a thing. It's the very alst day of the Chinese New Year's celebration, the 15th day, and from the newspaper today, I know it's called yuanxiao jie. (It's supposed to be the name of a girl in the folklore.. I forgot the exact story now...) Traditionally, people must eat dumpling/sweet bean rice cake on that day and unmarried girls would throw a ball of satin yarns from their balcony, in hope of getting married within the year. (There is supposedly to be a hopeful would-be husband catching the ball from below ^_~) Anyway, the newspaper said yesterday there were women throwing mandarin oranges to the Singapore River, desperate to get married soon LOL.
Tin-sama, Zero Stance's URL is http://www.geocities.com/zerostance! Thanks for putting up the link =D I LOVE Mokona hee hee hee...
Thursday, February 8, 2001, 01:34 p.m.
[still in the comp lab]
I want to make a Valentine layout!! This log's layout is well, not as Valentine-ish as I would want it to be. Besides, Tenshi ni Kiss is a Christmas story ^^ I think SORA needs a new layout.... Now, if I could just find a nice pic for a layout....
Oh and, *glomps Tin-sama* I'll be looking out for that Valentine surprise at niaserie Why am I in such a Valentine mood lately when I'm single? ^^; (Icha and Black, go away :P)
Thursday, February 8, 2001, 11:57 a.m.
Take a look at Alexa's log, concerning the spammer of her guestbook. Such a nasty incident >.<
I'm at the computer lab now waiting for my tutorial to start ^^ Then I'll have one looooooooooooooonggg busy day until midnight *sigh*
Thursday, February 8, 2001, 02:59 a.m.
It seems like I really have to format my hard disk -_- Steven was just here and he couldn't get things fixed so I have no choice, since I wouldn't want to have an error message popping up every now and then to irritate me. I think I'll do it tomorrow. I have to make backup for my files first and then hopefully, everything will be OK.
This is all that stupid ugly guy at the comp lab's fault!!! I'll remember to make a remark to him that thanks to him, my computer is in shambles. It's practically a tort of negligence *disgusted* I can sue, oh yes, add a hefty sum of emotional distress compensation to physical damage, as well. I'm going to bed. I'm so tired and upset I'm beginning to hear voices and imagining scary things. I guess I'm not over Fright Night after all. (I mean, Fright Night was damn fun, but sometimes I can't help feeling there's something behind every shadowy places ready to jump out and scare the hell out of me)
Thursday, February 8, 2001, 01:22 a.m.
All Boyzone Farmies except Jen, considering all of you out there are still alive, your Farmowner has gotten herself a tail. It's a blue donkey tail that cannot be lifted more than one inch off the ground *looks at sadly limply hanging tail at the back* Yank, and I'll munch your tail *glares at Jen*
My IE hangs everytime I open a page with pop-ups >.< This is all that Lion King guy from the computer lab's fault!!! Damn, I don't have to format my Windows, do I?
Wednesday, February 7, 2001, 04:06 a.m.
It's 4 AM and that clock is ringing again through the silence of the morning... >.< Who the heck went home and left his alarm clock on!!! Oh yes, it should be a he, coz the sound comes from above me and above me are all guys rooms...... I'm chatting with Icha on MSN, that's why I'm still here....
The condition of my room is really bad, you know. I've been feeling lazy to do anything (save for making layouts and chatting) lately and I don't even pick up the things I dropped on the floor. Now I need to go through several substantial obstacles from the door to my chair (school bags, shopping bags, Pocky, textbooks, papers, etc.) My desk is even worse. I can't even see my scanner. It's buried under a pile of papers... Its only sign of existence is its sound when I turn on the computer. At least the printer is only half buried ^_^;
I couldn't even find my handphone just now and had to phone it using my room phone >.< I've lost my handphone a few times and I become very panic when I don't remember where I put it. It was buried under my blankets on my bed just now ^^
Time to sleeeeeeepppp... Icha, sleeppp!! My eyes are tired although my brain is not!
Wednesday, February 7, 2001, 12:53 a.m.
Something's wrong with my IE. *using IE warily* Or with the university network again.... -_-
B 318 got a new layout today! Hope it's OK... I think there might be some broken links in there and some mess >.< It's all this confusion with my IE, who kept on getting hanged in the middle of something. ARGH! I'll check it out tomorrow, but overall, it should be OK. I like the new layout ^^ And oh, don't use Netscape. It'll ruin everything. I already tried it. I need to learn how to make a layout that looks the same for both browsers.
I need to cheer myself up... *munching on Kinder Bueno*
Tuesday, February 6, 2001, 01:16 a.m.
D&D is at this Friday and just now our table was gathering together to decide what we're going wear. The D&D has a movie theme, and since we don't want to spend a lot of money on the costume, we decided to go black. We had a bit of trouble finding a movie to go along with it, especially since Matrix have been taken by the seniors table. So after a lot of discussing (from wearing nothing but Titanic's La Coeur de la Mer to Catwoman), we decided to do The Craft. Don't know the movie? It's a teenage witch flick, starring Neve Campbell and Robin Tunney. And so, we're going witchy and goth. Yipee. This is starting to get fun. We're going shopping on Wednesday. I need accessories! I have one black dress that will do nicely. So I need to accessorize... I'm browsing wiccan pages and Angel Sanctuary pages now ^_~
Monday, February 5, 2001, 06:48 p.m.
Peach Tea is up! Come and visit! (yeah, it's the layout archive site that has gotten itself a cute, tasty name ^^)
Off to dinner!
Sunday, February 4, 2001, 10:23 p.m.
Feeling lousier by every minute, especially since I NEED to make this friggin' diagram for Econs tutorial tomorrow and present it and I have no idea how it's supposed to look like. I hate my tutor. She loves diagrams too much, it's almost perverse.
Oh, I scanned my newly acquired choir music sheets for pssmukie, but you can see them here if you're interested ^^
Pei Ling seems OK, she needs a lot of help with things though ^^ There are several people running errands for her already (including me, hee hee hee...)
Mia, you're back! I thought you've been suck to the world called "studying" ^^ Good luck for you running for president ^_~!
Sunday, February 4, 2001, 08:16 p.m.
The Flu Has Come! I know a lot of people are having flu lately, you only need to read people's logs to know that. And today I have fallen to it, no doubt it's because of my 3 hour sleep the day before my midterm and sitting next to a very very ill person during Jap class after that. Right now I have a constantly runny nose, a light headache and muscle ache. But thankfully I'm in a good mood because I just joined the church's choir practice for the first time and it went well ^^ I missed singing in a choir...
Anyway, there's someone who is feeling worse than I am right now. Pei Ling just sprained her left ankle and pulled her right hamstring during the handball match today. Ouch. Both her legs hurt when she walks and she uses crutches. I'm going to stop by to her room and check out how she's doing.
Saturday, February 3, 2001, 09:55 p.m.
More and more people are finding this log with the help of two magic keywords : "Outlaw Star" ^_^
I slept around 4 yesterday and about an hour later this damn watch from a room somewhere above me rang and kept on ringing for an hour -_- I couldn't go back to sleep, especially since it was hot and there was a mosquito buzzing around my ears trying to get a suck out of me -_- THEN, it must be 6.30 or something as the corridor's light went off and then the people having class at 8 started to wake up and making a lot of noise in the bathroom as usual (my room is nearest to the common public bathroom). In total I probably slept for a mere 3 hours.
The test was fine, I guess. But a lot of people didn't think so, which makes me a bit dubious on my own confident. But I believe that the result is usually better than expected, since all teachers have this thing called Moderation Curve or something curvy like that which usually makes our results higher than we thought it would be ^^
Then I had my Jap class and went off to Orchard to look for that tube I need. And I can't find any that's good! :( Is it so difficult to find one plain black tube top? I found several but they were all either too garish for my taste or too expensive for my budget or both. I'll go ask around whether anyone in this block has one I can borrow. I'm not planning to wear it often anyway, if I do buy one. It's just for Production Days.
So, I walked around Orchard for several hours without sitting down or resting at all and as the result, my foot is throbbing now like it's being pumped by a super large roaring ugly pump ;_;
Mommy Icha, happy birthday!!! *glomps mommy*
Saturday, February 3, 2001, 01:53 a.m.
I think I get along nicely with people who are born in February *wide grin* Some of my most favourite people are born in this month : Mommy Icha, Gedex, Yin, J, and of course, my mother ^^ Did I leave anyone out? Oh I don't need to buy presents for you all, do I? I'm soooooooooo broke with all these stuff I have to pay for :( (D&D is a super-major expense >.<)
Did a little updating for B 318 just now. Added Toshi in the Friends section *snicker, snicker*
Saturday, February 3, 2001, 01:30 a.m.
[[ clt to Escaflowne's Mystic Eyes... Tomokazu Seki is my favourite male seiyuu ^^ ]]
I was a bit upset just now *blows nose* But it's ok now. It's about something silly and with all the hours I've spent studying, I was just so tired.
I still have to run through a couple of things then go to bed earlier since the test is at 10 tomorrow. Maybe I'll get up earlier and eat breakfast, so I'll be a bit more awake during the test ^_^
J, congrats! But I thought you're sick of Physics already? *_*
Daddy Tosh, I miss you so much! *hugz baka daddy*
Yin, an early Happy Valentine to you too! ^_~
Tomorrow I'll go out and buy myself some nice stuff to cheer me up ^^ I still need to find a tube top for my Production Days attribute. As Lijin says, our job on those days is just to look good, socialize, and enjoy ourselves after all our hard work.
Friday, February 2, 2001, 12:53 p.m.
My tracker says 56 people have searched for "Outlaw Star (pics)" at Yahoo and ended up here >.< You guys are ALL looking for Outlaw Star huh? I haven't finished watching it yet (currently episode 18) and I haven't surfed around for the websites yet... are there really so few OS websites out there? Maybe I should make one.... ^^ Or, anyone interested in making one?
Friday, February 2, 2001, 01:47 a.m.
Since all my chairs have graciously let me off duty tomorrow night (Xiaoqing, Jasmine & Pei Zuan are the best!), I've cooled down a bit and spent my time chatting and surfing between my Finance text book pages ^_~ I just made a little updating for ZS on the links and FAQ pages, since Derek has graciously let me link his RK episode download page ^^
J, if you're reading, he also says he knows you and I should pass the word to you that his site is open. Use the URL http://welcome.to/rkparadise
Kara, your new log is up! I'll go change the link after this. I LOVE the Finkl songs I downloaded from your site ^_~ And I'm one of the people you love! *boings* *munching Kara's 19236th tail*
Gina, ME! ME! I want to learn Korean swear words! ^_^x I don't have AIM though hee hee hee...
*yawn* I'm so not in the mood for studying... better go to bed and study like mad tomorrow.
Friday, February 2, 2001, 12:13 a.m.
Right, this will be very quick, since I just realized during dinner today that I have a midterm on Saturday for a class I never attend and am very very blur at. I also found out I have a quiz tomorrow. What was worse, I initially had a full schedule tomorrow night with all my activities coming together one after another (publicity push at SH, informal meeting, dance meeting) then I pleaded leniency from all my chairs so I could study, so tomorrow I should be devoting myself for studying
[Everyone else : "FINALLY!"]
Anyway, just wanna say that the NUS Anime Club site is up, featuring MY KareKano review ^^ and Adeline's wonderful Kaikan Phase review (which I'm dying to watch & read, BTW.. bishounens galore!). The color scheme is PINK for Valentine ^^ My guess is it should be blue next month (I'll nag David for it) then there's a very cute Shoryuu 3D pic, as well as the Shoryuu Chinese New Year greeting card which I posted here once. Please visit and sign the guestbook? It'll make us very very happy ^^
I just got back from Steering meeting and it's exactly 2 weeks till Hall Production opens! anyone who wishes to watch our musical, Sing to the Dawn, please don't hesitate to contact me. I have tickets I must sell ^^ Now, I'm going back to my Finance lecture notes @_@

[[ currently in the computer lab, waiting for class ]]
Me come early for class? That is so rare, but it just happened this morning I was asked to help bring some stuff for faculty push so here I am, copying Henny's old projects to my diskette to be handed in as my own ^_~ (and they all run nicely!) Thank you, Henny! She's such a god-send to me ^^V
Still have time to grab something to eat and a cup of cowfee :)

Since both Blackie and Mommy complained that my entries are long enough, I'll try to write something longer this time. (and I thought I log too much... )
*cough, cough* Errr....
Can I rant about Takashi? I still have that idea of a shrine on the back of my mind.... But I think I should get my priorities straight. I know I haven't been mentioning anything about my sites lately because I've been so stressed and busy with all these stuff, but I'm actually still making sites in the little time I have. Today was my free day and after faculty push I was quite free so I went back to finish ZS v3.0 front page. I *still* think something is missing in there... But I guess it's good enough. The inner pages would be quite simple I guess. ZS is just not meant to have overly complicated layout, since it'll take so much of my energy (and I'm not exactly good with layouts just yet). I'm still deciding on which pics to use for the inner pages. The background color is BLACK. I was thinking that black is so boring then I remembered ZS has never used black before, so I thought I'll use it now and never use it again in the future hehehe...
I was also doing something for Tsuioku (which will have a new name soon since it's a bit tongue-tripping ^^). But then I deleted everything since it was so ugly ^^ Anyway, it should be done SOON. I'm doing ZS with a moderate pace, so I'm only doing it when I feel like it, because I'm projecting it be done in May. I don't like rushing myself -_- (yes, I'm a slacker!)
For the next few weeks, I have a very full & packed schedule. But if my good mood continues, it should be ok ^_~ I'm feeling good today since I just got word that I managed to clinch a very good deal for the bazaar with Nestle :) My chairperson was happy about it, and I'm glad, since I didn't feel like I was doing a good job in the past. Oh yes, God is good, all the time :)
Sarah, yes, yes, yes, e-mail... coming your way soon.
J, yes, yes, yours coming soon too.
Tin-sama, niaiserie's layout looks cute, alright ^^ Can I nag you for OLH?
Farmies, where the hell are you all? Farmowner will stop giving rations from now on if you don't show up! That's right, no more chocolate-coated grass!
Syat honey, miss ya!
Other people I owe an e-mail to...... err.... soon, soon, I promise.

I have been coerced to join the Hall's Annual Dinner & Dance >.< Well, actually not really coerced, but I was greatly persuaded by the ever-persuasive unrelenting Block Comm members >.< I can't seem to get out of it now so I guess I have to pay $38 to attend it and will have to cut back buying mangas and coffees for a few weeks ;_; And I want to buy March's Asuka!!!! It should be arriving this week............ :(
Damn, I don't know which tutorial I'm supposed to do tomorrow..... And I don't have the program to do it yet. Living in a hall makes life very convinient for a procrastinator like me. Like, if I haven't done my homework yet at night, I can easily contact anyone in the hall (all of whom are mostly online all the time because of the cable connection) and just walk a few steps to get whatever it is I need. Just now I messaged Henny and she suddenly knocked on my door (she lives one floor down) to deliver her last semester's answers in one thick pile of paper and several diskettes. I am so ever grateful. *bows* I don't know whether I can still live here next year but I hope so.
Wednesday, January 31, 2001, 03:32 p.m.
I am currently rereading my KareKano mangas and I'm beginning to like Takashi, Maho's boyfriend, more and more. I'm contemplating making a shrine for him. But he only made a few appearances, save for the 2 chapters about him and Maho...... I WANT MOREEEE!!!
Wednesday, January 31, 2001, 02:33 p.m.
Jen, congrats for getting accepted at that Florida school ^_~ Don't worry too much about college applications. I'm sure you'll get accepted in any school you want :) Ganbatteeee!
Finish faculty push for the day *yawn* BizAd was not as busy as usual. I wonder why.. maybe everyone's free day is Wednesday. Jasmine told me Wednesday is Pharmacy's unofficial free day. Nice, huh? I think I'll take a nap :)
Tuesday, January 30, 2001, 06:39 p.m.
We didn't perform because of some mix-up with the schedule. We were really annoyed, yes we were. I'm a mixture of relief and annoyance, actually. I'm relieved because we didn't perform today with so little preparation but annoyed because we're not performing there at all >.<
Mia, how's school?
Mommy, err.. what do you want for birthday? I can't send anything via post because Indonesian post is so lousy.. The Christmas card J sent me took 3 weeks to arrive. Sooo... drop by to Singapore on your way to Taiwan in March lah!
Tuesday, January 30, 2001, 11:54 a.m.
Half of my first homework done. Dance performance in an hour >.< PLEASE let no one be there to watch us.... *praying fervently*
Oh a couple of interesting search keywords that brought people to this place : "Hermaphrodite pics" (they were probably looking for worms), "Singapore Ah Lian pics" *choke* (I am NOT an Ah Lian), "Naked Bishounen" (no comment ^^), and the rest are pretty much normal ("Outlaw Star pics", "KareKano script", "Selene pic" [which Selene is that?], etc , etc)
*Deep breath, DEEEEEEPP breath...* Wish me luck!
Tuesday, January 30, 2001, 01:14 a.m.
I'm DYING! And what's worse, I just got back from an extremely exhausting job, AND I found an ICQ message saying dance practice is on tomorrow RIGHT before the performance. Is that guy mad? We are going to embarass ourselves tomorrow >.< AND I have both Biz Comm work and Steering work to do early in the morning, as well as my 2 homeworks. I'm going to die real soon. Now, where's my Panadol....
Monday, January 29, 2001, 09:52 p.m.
Mia, surely your Indonesian tests are not that bad? :)
Tin-sama, I always wonder how you are able to research these kind of things 0_0 I mean, the university's library here is impressive but I doubt I'd find something like the etymology of the word "fuck" in it.. ^^
I watched IHG's female handball match after dinner and KR was winning... oh, about 10-1 from KE7 when I left. Our handball girls are scary >.< For those who don't know how to play handball, it's a really, really rough game where almost everything is allowed, save for blatant attack to your opponent's face -_- I was sure KE7's goalie was greatly demoralized. Poor girl ^^
where the hell is Pei Chuan?! Tomorrow's our performance and he's not here and there's no practice until this hour. I have a long meeting coming in 20 mins until midnight and 2 homeworks yet to be done for tomorrow *vexed*
Monday, January 29, 2001, 06:17 p.m.
YAY! New layout! I must admit I quite like it, although the white background makes it look so bare ^^ Anyway, pic there is my own scan, it's from a one-volume shoujo manga called Tenshi ni KISS, by Nami Akimoto. It's been published in Indonesia by the title "Angel's Kiss". I quite like Nami Akimoto... ^^
Time for dinner! I haven't eaten anything the whole day :)
Monday, January 29, 2001, 12:37 p.m.
YAY! Econs homework done. Easier than the previous homeworks, since I've learned this chapter in high school before. 30 minutes till I have to rush to school. *scans pics for layout*
Monday, January 29, 2001, 12:58 a.m.
[[ clt : Cowboy Bebop OST 2 : No Disc. Didn't find Turn A Gundam OST, found this instead. Like it better than OST 1 ^_~ ]]
Stash Econs homework. I suppose I'll finish everything tomorrow on my lunch break >.< I know, I know, I really SHOULD start doing homeworks and projects a few days before they're due. I'm a slug.
Found this clique called Revelation, a clique for Indonesian web owners as well, but different from IASC, it accepts all kinds of web sites. The owner signed my B 318 gbook and said she wanted to close the clique down because of few members but it has quite a number of members and I e-mailed her asking her to reconsider it and be IASC sister clique ^_~
*glancing sideways at my stack of color Nakayoshi pages lying on top of my scanner begging to be scanned and made into a layout ASAP* Sigh. 10 AM lecture tomorrow. I've made a resolution to mend my wicked ways (what the...??!!) and will try to go to bed earlier so I can get up properly for early lectures. Yes, I'm also trying to attend all my classes now. Except the useless ones ^^ Come now, really, you don't expect ME to attend all my lectures, do you? Think not. At least, I'll come for tomorrow's 10 am OM lecture because I haven't been in a single lecture since start of semester. What a feat, considering I know no one in that class and so I have no one to ask around about it.
I wanna add V-chan's log to my link list! *huggles V-chan, who's my co-admin for KFF but I rarely speak to ^^*
I log too much. You people must be bored.

I was checking my ZS referrers when one after another, I stumbled into The Yoko Kanno Project and after that, several other Yoko Kanno pages. Whaddya know, she also composed for Turn A Gundam (a reason to watch it now) and for Maaya Sakamoto pop albums. Mommy, now you know why I like Maaya so much. And guess what, Purachina is also Yoko Kanno's. ^^ Told ya it's the best CCS OP.
BUT! I still haven't managed to find those I-dunno-what-language lyrics to Esca songs! All these site only provide the boring Jap lyrics and the English translation of them and NOT the actual lyrics sung. I want Arcadia, Vision of Escaflowne, Sora, EVERYTHING!!!! *sigh* Hm, these sites are interesting I think I'll surf more later after my Econs.
*goes off to find Turn A Gundam mp3 in other people's computer in the network*
Sunday, January 28, 2001, 10:20 p.m.
We're getting better today! (my mood, my foot, dance practice, etc...) I had one full day today and I feel good because of it ^^ It's been a while since I actually feel happy about being busy. I've only got time to eat my dinner now. Currently eating my cold fish & chips dinner ^^ Surprisingly, it still tastes quite well :)
Approximately 3 more weeks till Hall Production kicks in and the publicity is working like MAD. Yipee. I still have to do my homework after this and it's Econs, which I have to present tomorrow. Just called my partner and he was so good-natured about me being gone for the whole week for CNY he's going to make the transparency sheets while I do the presentation. I even offered to skip my lecture tomorrow to help him with it but he said I should attend it >.< What a nice boy ^_~ So, ok, I need to study and do it after I finish my dinner (which is getting colder and colder as I type this entry...) I hate doing presentations, though. I guess it shouldn't be a problem as long as I prepare myself well.
Kara, are you THAT busy? You didn't even reply my ICQ just now... :(
Sarah, I know, I owe you an e-mail. Hang on.
Syat, where are you?
Forgot to say that while I was in Jakarta, Kanata Kara 9 was out, so was CCS 12 the day before I went back here (I didn't spoil myself at all beforehand so I was VERY exicted ^^). I was reading CCS at the lobby of my old senior high school and occasionally screaming hysterically (thank god my principal wasn't around else she'll be very glad I've graduated). Then I phoned Icha and Chris immediately to tell them to buy it ASAP. Peppie was so excited about Kanata Kara 9 I brought it here to lend it to her ^^ Izaku is so cool. Syaoran is so kakkoii! Mommy, black-and-white Syaoran wearing a black shirt is really nummy!!!! ^^ *licks her CCS manga*
Whoops, still have to wash my 2 pair of dirty socks I've used to effectively clean the dance room floor with my spins and give my throbbing foot a rub.
Saturday, January 27, 2001, 10:19 p.m.
I am feeling VERY miserable tonight. I worried about my right foot during the entire dance practice, trying to burden it as less as possible so I became a total klutz and I looked super-silly. Not to mention there were only three of us and our timing was so off from each other it was a mess *sigh* I gave my legs a quick massage after shower and they feel tingly-warm now because of the muscle rub I used. Did I also mention I have stomach cramps? Neprogena is the best drug ever invented.
I haven't eaten dinner. It's Sat night, so no dinner served. Bleh. Cooking pasta on my lil travel pot now. (I use ready-made sauce ^^) Does anyone now whether I should heat up the sardine or not....?? I only ate a piece of fattening cheesecake today around 5 pm after Jap class. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to keep myself alive with so little food.

IASC has changed layout! I'm not really happy with the result, because I'm running out of ideas since I had been busy pouring everything out for ZS v3.0 layout (WHICH, BTW, I'm not satisfied with YET). I know I've put up a teaser for v3.0 in ZS current splash page, and I intend to stick to the theme I already decided upon (hint : a woman in Kenshin's past), but I think I'll still be changing the layout again. So far I've made 3 different layouts for ZS and I'm not happy with all. I can't get down to transferring all the files unless I have a definite layout! ARGH.
Back to IASC. Current layout features Meimi of Saint Tail. My own scan ^^ (I still have heaps of ST's color pages from Nakayoshi). There's even a banner to go along with the layout ^_~ We haven't been getting any new members lately, though :( Maybe this is all there is out there??? Indonesians, start making anime websites and join us NOW!!!
I'm going to change this log's layout as well. I'm so sick of dark colors :( I want a bright, cheerful one this time. I'm thinking of using a Youkoso! Hohoemi Ryou E pic. or maybe a Tenshi no KISS pic. Or an MKR ^^ But I have to go to dance practice now... *sigh* My poor foot....
Saturday, January 27, 2001, 12:34 a.m.
Anybody wants pineapple tarts/cookies? They're another traditional snack we have to have for Chinese New Year. We have a lot of cakes and cookies back home and no one eats them so my mother made me bring a jar here to give away ^_~ So, if you're interested, drop by to B 318 (the room, not the site!).
I can't use Napster again :( All NUS internet users are banned from using Napster. bleh. The university is just so damn upright and rigid. For a while a few weeks ago, we could, I think it was due to all those net migrations they were having, they forgot to ban us. Then I supposed they realized it and now I can't connect to Napster anymore. A few weeks ago when it was on, everyone was in a frenzy of downloading songs ^_~ Gina, time to get that mp3 site out! ^_~
There's a make-up lecture tomorrow for Finance. I think I'll come ^^ I also have a dance practice tomorrow because we have a performance on Tuesday but I'm worried whether it'll injure my foot even more. If it does, it won't get well in a long time. Arief was just here and he advised me not to dance but our dance only has 6 people and even Yechyn is not allowed not to join although she's very busy with Rockers performance and classes. *sigh* Tough decision.
ZS visitors are usually surprised when I actually reply their e-mails. Several told me that "webmaster/mistress of a very popular site usually don't reply e-mails from visitors". Obviously web-owners who don't reply e-mails don't study Business ^^ Customer relationship is important *nods, nods* So my Marketing textbook says... *laughs* But REALLY, I like reading and writing e-mails. Plus, I have too much time to kill (I really AM a typical Business student. I have SPARE TIME!!!). What I hate, though, when people send me one-liner e-mails asking something without hi, bye, or whatever. I don't even bother to reply those kinds of e-mails. Obviously they have no sense of courtesy at all. I'm raised with proper Asian values so yes, I get ticked off with the lack of courtesy I get in e-mails (yeah, my ego is a bit hurt as well ^^). And my mother think I still need to work on being courteous to other people. *shrug* Anyway, some of those whom I have replied turned out to be very nice people and some of them REALLY support ZS, so thank you :)

I'm back in dratty old dorm room again!!!!!! It was so dirty and dusty I had to clean it up first. Mother would be so proud of me, I even mopped the floor! *wipes off sweat* I've even did my laundry and washed my bedsheets along with it.
My torture session this morning went understandably better than the last one. It still hurt, but at least I wasn't crying in pain this time. I did yelled. A few times. Once even to my mother. Oops. I think my feet are supposed to be better now. My masseuse told me not to walk so much or lean on my right foot but I live in Singapore! I have no choice but to walk. And the campus has longer stretch of stairways than roads.
I think it's time to change this log's layout. I'm getting bored of Arashi. Plus, IASC is using a red and black Arashi layout as well. Time to change both. *nods, nods* I brought a bunch of nice color pages I tore off of my old Nakayoshi which I threw away afterwards. They were Nakayoshi from Sailor Moon & MKR era and I have pages of nice MKR pics. If only I can get the hang of editing these pics well enough *sigh* I forgot to bring my photo collection to scan here, though!! :(
Time for shower.
