Added a few links I found while following the *drumroll* anti-anime saga. Charmian is right. This thing merely makes us know more anime blogs out there and meet up fellow bloggers (or rather, pitas-ers?) ^_^x
Speaking of which, I guess my blog would be considered an anime blog. To me a blog is just a blog. Fullstop. It just so happens that I like anime and naturally I'd blog about whatever it is that interests me. And I suppose the guy making the anti-anime pitas is only writing about what he likes as well. (It just so happens that he hates Pokemon and Sailor Moon, well, join the club, a lot of us do too). Anyway, omoshiroku naru kamoshirenai... ^_^x
Oh and yeah, why is ^_^ a "gay face"? Gay is in homosexual or gay as in happy? I'm very much amused. If ^_^ is happy then :) is miserable? Well, if that's the case, we know what we'd rather be.... In any case, a person who sees ^_^ as something more than just a smiley is possibly delusional.
I almost forgot to say NUS Anime Club website has been updated for this month, and features Petshop of Horror review by my very-onz new publicity head (a newcomer! LOL) and HanaKimi review by yours truly (yech, old fish... so boring....). Main banner features the pretty pink Mizuki! Hehehehe... I will do my best to poison my fellow anime clubbers to read HanaKimi (actually most of them have, in Chinese... the only person I poisoned was Minli during our Japan trip XD).
Whoops, chikoku suru...

I am so terribly terribly terribly busy =( I want to finish making a website and layouts, but I have no time *wails* Maybe during exam time I can make more layouts. I can't wait for exam time :P It's the most relaxing time of the year because 1) no projects, no homeworks, no classes 2) no activities because we're supposed to study (but, of course, me? studying the whole day??). Nyaaaahhh~ can't wait. One more month!!
Kenchan, nice layout. A bit slow to load, though. Glad you have a great birthday.
As-chan, thanks for the CB and AL spoilers. I want to watch CB the Movie ;__; I so love Cowboy Bebop. And yes, like, Anne, I'm a Misaki x Oujirou fan. (Actually I'm more of an Oujirou fan =D)
Yin, this layout is easier to read.... Lots of space! =D You tend to write long entries and when the space for text is small, it gets tiring XD BTW, the Mizuki layout looks extra nice!
Tin-sama, have you read the comments I left at Vanity Press? XD XD
I need to blog to many more people but I have no time. I need my nap NOW or I won't be able to finish running around campus in time for my 4 pm tutorial. I'm very slim now, the result of too much walking and climbing stairs here on campus [Mount NUS(tm)] and uh, forgetting my meals. Speaking of that, my gastric's been in a terrible mood since I woke up.... protesting from too much neglect -_-
philo paper *ARGH!* on Tuesday, October 2, 2001, 11:12 a.m.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KENCHAN!!!! May God bless!
Your layout is up in IASC website, btw. Thanks so much XD Virtue.nu has been giving me a lot of problem, though. There was a file which couldn't work so I moved it to f2s.com. And check this out :
http://www.virtue.nu/tsubame and http://virtue.nu/tsubame are showing two different index pages, the current one being http://virtue.nu/tsubame 0.o I need a new host for IASC..... *sigh*
'tis kenchan's birthday! on Monday, October 1, 2001, 12:22 a.m.
Ah, it seems my violinist is not a dream nor a ghost after all. A couple of days ago he disturbed my afternoon nap again. And NOW, when I'm thinking of sleeping so early on a Sat night, he's practicing again! And it's always the same song! Something from the Romantic or the Classical period, most probably. 'Tis a depressing song. LOL. Thanks to him, I have to put off my bedtime and am watching Scryed 1 instead. *yawn* OP song is very like Ricky Martin's She Bangs. *yawn* I only slept for 4 hours last night, and 3 hours the night before. So, yes, I'm tired. I spent the entire day today doing my projects. My Biology group mates were here for the entire afternoon, making a mess of our split floor with paper scraps and making it difficult for people to go down the stairs; since Pauline, my neighbour, is also my groupmate. This group is fun. One of my groupmates brought his girlfriend along to help out, a Malaysian who goes to school in Perth, can speak a few basic Jap words, AND can speak Indonesian because she hangs out with many Indonesians in Perth (She also digs my manga collection). She's cool. He's funny. They make such a cute couple together XD
Right, the violinist has finished his practice. It's now the guitarist turn >__< My wing is full of musicians!!! ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! It's not fair. I have to practice singing more often in my room so they'll know how it feels.
fried scryed on Saturday, September 29, 2001, 10:38 p.m.
Karen and Seiichirou are so cute together =D So I'm a fan, sue me. Have I also mention I, uh, have this thing for Subaru x Kamui? *hides from NSK members* Right, that is as far as I am willing to say about X here. I have this perversity of not talking about what I think about "popular" topics in my own blog. (Yin knows *grin*) Oh, believe me, I'm much more talkative elsewhere. I can go on and on for hours with my mouth full and never quite finishing my meal just to talk about it, although most of my conversation will probably involved a lot of gushing, ranting, and drooling... not a pretty sight with all those food in my mouth @.@ So, .... lunch with me, anyone? ^_^x
X on Friday, September 28, 2001, 07:21 p.m.
Just watched Read or Die 1 *amused amused amused* What -some- people would do for books. *glance at Tin-sama. You should watch the series, Tin-sama!* It's particularly amusing today because today was the first time I've been to the Science Library and after several minutes, I've found at least 10 books I wanted to haul back, except that 1) I won't have time to read them 2) I, uh, still have a couple books on loan in my library record ^_^x 3)I can't possible carry 20 kg back. Oh and Anne, the soundtrack is nice! The OP is very James Bond-ish, yes?
It struck me that One Piece and Shaman King is very similar. Or maybe they're just typical shounen series. I love both series, though... but no one has completed both series yet so I have to wait for the next episodes. Meanwhile, I'll finish watching Noir, I guess. (Although it doesn't interest me much anymore.)
Yes, I have time to watch anime today because I finished my poster design faster than I thought, although I still want to make another one tomorrow and I don't have an idea for it yet. Maybe boring Writing class tomorrow will give me an idea. Now, I have to get myself back to the library to get the book I ordered. Nyahahahha~
Read or Die? *grin* on Thursday, September 27, 2001, 05:58 p.m.
I am at a point where I stopped thinking on what I have to do and I just want to go home ;__; How pathetic is that. Maybe I'll call my mother after this. My problem is, despite running low on energy and spirit, I still can make myself do all kinds of things just on the basis of my sense of responsibility, up to a point where I simply fall sick when my body and mind can't take it anymore. Which I hope won't happen. AND yet I still feel the need to take up new challenges and experience new things. I'm not an ambitious person. Perhaps I'm just greedy. I'm only thinking about what I want to do, not whether I can do it or not. I like to overestimate myself and underestimate my tasks. Bad habit, yeah. I need to use my brain more often. LOL.
Pei-yi, lurve the layout =D It's quite a change from the previous one. And, if you really want to write, then I'd say you should really go for it! I'll suggest Arts Faculty XD
Tin-sama is prettyyyyy *watches fan boys run to Tin's log to see Tin's pic* =D
Alexa's new layout is the simplest layout of hers I've seen so far!
Garion, yes, I stay in a hostel. The best one on campus XD *plug*
Toshi, thank you, now I don't need to spend my money on Kakashi! I was hoping it'd be as good as The Ring. I guess not ^^;
Kenchan, come hereeeeeeeeee and visit me! You can't find mangas in Australia!!!!
Steph, my Chinese is so disastrous I can't even pronounce my own Chinese name correctly XD I'm impressed that you can speak Spanish fluently! *_*
Yin has a new site for various blog entries concerning the September 11th tragedy. Way the go, dear!
Bedtime. Need much energy for tomorrow XD

Oh and does anyone have a nice, easy recipe to share? I want to make something for the senior's supper next month. I'm browsing thru recipe sites now but can't really find anything suitable ^_^x Isabela, your banana cake seems easy and simple but unfortunately some other people have already taken banana cake. I'd love to try your recipe one of these days, though =D
recipe? on Wednesday, September 26, 2001, 01:54 a.m.
Feeling very sleepy today. I couldn't sleep last night and in the end I fell asleep around 4 am and woke up around 7 to attend my 8 am Writing class. In the afternoon I wanted to take a nap but after half an hour I was awaken by a guy playing a violin (or something similar) somewhere above my room >.< And it's definitely a guy, since all the rooms above my floor are all guys' rooms. I didn't know anyone in our block who plays violin so now I'm a bit wondering whether that was just a vivid dream 0.o I told my blockmates during supper just now and they had no clue who that could be either. Could it really be just ....... a dream? ^_^; There are many musicians in my wing; we have a flutist, a saxophonist, a Chinese-flutist, a percussionist, and several singers (and possibly my violinist) so in the afternoon I can hear many beautiful melodious music (and one off-key horrible one.... that'd be myself trying to sing along to my CDs and mp3s ^_^;;)
While lying in my bed unable to sleep last night, I spotted THREE lizards on my ceiling. They irate me. I'm not scared of them, but I just don't like them hanging around my room. At supper just now, our RF (Resident Fellow, he's a professor who lives in our block, supposedly to watch over us; our RF is young [and married] & very very friendly. He knows most of our names and always says hi when he bumps into us around campus ^_^) suddenly said, "Hey, how's your lizzy?" And I was like, "Even YOU know about it??" I thought he was referring to the lizard trap incident. Then as we conversed, I remembered that I once complained to him about the lizards in my room. He doesn't have any definite suggestion how to get rid of them, though. My ex-blockhead suggested chasing them out with a broom everytime I spot one, but then they're always high up on the ceiling so if I do that, I might risk having them fall on top of me. And that is a risk I'm not going to take. I'm not going to buy another trap either. So maybe I'll just settle with cleaning lizards' shit and listening to their babble every night >__<
Steph, I guess it's a different experience for everyone =D My senior high is known as one of the toughest, but when I was there, I didn't feel the need to study at all. And now in a university everyone says is tough, I don't feel the real difficulty, it's just I need to spend a lot of my time doing my projects, whereas in high school I don't have that many project at all. But neverthelessly, I think you should try to really enjoy high school, coz it won't happen twice. Boo-hoo ;__;
I'll watch One Piece 2 and Shaman King 2, and then I'm off to do my before-bedtime readings and Dreamland =D Tomorrow's my free day! Yay!!!!!
kore wa yume? soretomo ..... on Wednesday, September 26, 2001, 01:05 a.m.
I'm feeling sadly sappy and nostalgic lately ^_^x I want to rewatch KareKano and Cowboy Bebooooppp *sigh* My KareKano CDs are in Jakarta and I never burned those Cowboy Bebop eps. Now I wish I had. Hey, maybe my friend has them... I'll make a stop to his room next time I'm around his place. I think the main reason why I like KareKano so much is because it reminded me of my high school years. I still miss those days, yes. They were the best days of my life so far and I regretted the fact that I *had* to graduate. I still have many, many vivid memories of my high school days, especially my senior year. I wish I can still wake up in the morning, go to class, and find all my friends there. Here in university, you just go to class, listen to the teacher and barely talk to anyone. Back then, I even went to the toilet in one huge group (like, half a class? ^_^), but here, I just wander around campus alone. It gets lonelier and lonelier as you grow older, I guess.
Maa, enough of this *makes a face* Once I get down to brooding, I can go on for several days and won't get anything done while I have so many things to do. *looooonnnnnggg sigh* Oh yes, I wish I were in high school.
I was going to complain WHY nobody ever visits ZS anymore then I checked my tracker. 0.o Today was the HIGHEST DAY? *scratch head* I wonder why...... what's so special about yesterday? Errrhhh... my tracker doesn't show any new referrers. And my average has WAY increased since I last checked my tracker. And the geocities counter shows 62,000+ hits. Last time I checked when it was still 55,000+ I think. Still, I need to change layout (which will take me, what, 4 months at least? @.@) I've realized that my current layout is highly inflexible. I was being overly ambitious, or possibly deranged, I guess. But it's difficult to manage a massive site like ZS. I'm like, "AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!" whenever I open my ZS files folder (filled with a total of 500+ files, no less).
Kenchan, A-hah! Then the layout will be your own self-made birthday present, yes? =D
Steph, I've come to like Watsuki's art in the later RK mangas and it's the same style that's showing in GBW right now. I don't know about the story, but well, the artwork is nice! =D And I think we're all just as worried for Indonesia right now. Pray hard, because He always listens.
Anne-nee, nyahahaha... dare I hope that I've started the Meitantei Conan layout trend? =D I wish to see more, though. And MORE Gouhou Drug! (like this one, yes? =D *ogling at the pic*)
Pei-yi, then just get yourself in Science Faculty first. There are lots of majors there now, and Bio-related majors are gaining popularity lately. Seems like almost everyone from Science in my hall are doing Life Sciences or Biochem or Biomed or Bio.
Ah, Fel, seems like you enjoy designing, right? I like Britney Spears' I'm a Slave for You, BTW. It's .... perfect for a dance. Unfortunately, I've resigned (unofficially) from dance.
Damn, would my winamp stop playing Tenshi no Yubikiri???? Ack. *remove song from playlist*

*crows happily* The OVA 2 special page is done. The OVA 2 is called the Seisou Hen (Star Frost Arc?) and it has Enishi in it, plus a couple new charas, I think. Enishi's seiyuu is Sasaki Nozomu; Eriol, Clef, Nagi & Tonami's seiyuu. Nyahahahaha~! I watched Shaman King ep 1 just now. My ex-publicity head (now acting chairperson of the Anime Club) David is a big fan of the manga and I think he wrote a review about it for the Club's website once and he totes the mangas everywhere with him. I LOVE THE ANIME! It looks interesting, alright =D
I have to do a philosophy presentation tomorrow on Kierkegaard. He's quite, err... easy compared to Descartes ^_^; I was supposed to do Descartes' 3rd Meditation and I've been going through it again and again trying to understand what the hell he's talking about and suddenly my tutor announced that we don't need to do 3rd Meditation and therefore I got to do Kierkegaard's Speech in Praise of Abraham instead, which for a Christian like me is easy to understand. Muahahahaha.
What Kierkegaard said on the subject of boredom : "All men are bores ........ the gods were bored, so they created man. Adam was bored because he was alone, and so Eve was created. Thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase of population. Adam was bored alone; then Adam and Eve were bored together; then Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse. To divert themselves they conceived the idea of constructing a tower high enough to reach the heavens. This idea is itself boring as the tower was high, and constitutes a terrible proof of how boredom gained the upper hand. ....... those who do not bore themselves usually bore others, while those who bore themselves entertain others." ^_^;;
Kenchan, thanks for the layout! It's lovely! I'll put it up in October, I think.
I spotted Nobuhiro Watsuki's Gun Blaze West 2 at Kino today, along with Kanata Kara 12 (on which I promptly gave out a hysteric squeal upon seeing). A friend suddenly asked out of the blue whether I want to go to Japan with him. My bank account shows that I'm in a state of near poverty, so..... *sigh* I guess not.
Ending with a bleak note, I heard that things in Jakarta are getting bad. My priest (Rev. Stephen Tong) was holding a Gospel Rally for the past few days in Jakarta and well, there was fear of the stadium being attacked. Security was extra-tight and search for bombs were done regularly throughout the several days of rally. Thank God nothing happened and thousands of people could still have the chance of hearing the Gospel. I just feel angry at the people calling for "holy war" to back Osama bin Laden in Indonesia. Stupid people without nothing better to do. Get an education, damn it! I hope nothing worse will happen in Indonesia.........
dum-dum-dum on Sunday, September 23, 2001, 11:24 p.m.
I treat myself to horrendously delicious, fattening, fulfilling dinner today to celebrate how well I think I did at the midterm today. It wasn't me who's being a particular genius, it was just the midterm that was being unusually easy for a university exam @.@ I bet lots of people will get full marks. No, not me, though. I've spotted my mistakes, but I'm still happy! XD The bad thing is, I'm feeling rather light-headed now and it might be because I stayed up last night to do research and study. Plus my sleep wasn't very good because I had this "Need to read one more chapter in the morning" thought at the back of my mind.
I'm creating a special page for RK OVA 2 at ZS. Hopefully I can finish it by tomorrow..... *sigh* but I have so many things to do and I don't have time to make websites or layouts anymore. It sucks!!!!!!!! =( And I want to watch more anime! I've watched Noir 11 and Fruits Basket 2-3. FB is funnier in anime, although I like the manga artwork better (YUKI!!! *drool*). I feel the need to reread my FB mangas now. And maybe buy vol 5,6 and 7 (but I'm broke! How, ah? Need subsidy here!). I'm getting impatient with Noir's pacing *lame grin* My Media Player won't play Angelic Layer 8.... hmm.. maybe I should download a newer version or something? My codec is already the newest version... hmmmmmmmmm......... Icchan-san.... ;__;
Catherine, thanks for the OVA 2 pictures link! I'm wading through a pile of Jap pages to find some more info now for my page now @.@
Toshi, study hard too!!!!! XD XD I want all of you in here! Hahahha.... What are you planning to take, BTW? Pei-yi, how about you?
Fel, take something that you really really REALLY enjoy doing. That's my only advice.
Kenchan, Shiori, good luck for your exams!
Shi-chan, that's.... scary ^_^;; Really.
Trisyana, As-chan, nice new layouts.
I feel the need to crash to my bed @.@
doesn't feel like a weekend on Saturday, September 22, 2001, 10:36 p.m.
I've been trying to research on sweet potato for the last 2 hours without any useful results >_< My Plant Biotech class term project is to make a poster on a particular plant and my group just happened to get -sweet potato-. Sure, it's a common plan here in SE Asia. Everyone knows what a sweet potato is but why is it so difficult to find data on it? I have been so busy lately I forgot completely about this project so I didn't have time to go to the Science Library and happily dig up the books there. After all, I rarely venture to the Science side of the campus, which is why I forgot about it ^_^x
I'm so tired :( It seems I spend everyday doing research for countless projects and having group meetings everyday. Not to mention I have different group mates for every single project, people I don't even know exist before, and I feel it is more taxing trying to work with THEM than doing the project itself. My Writing group mates like to bicker with each other and change their mind every second. My Macro group mates are high-achieving perfectionist straight-A people, whom I can't really keep up with because I'm a lazy person =D My Bio group is fun and we're all from 4 different faculties so we have different ways of approach and thinking but I think we can work well with each other. Asia Pacific Business Society group is like a mirror of the module itself, we're a multi-national group : a Swedish, a Vietnamese, a Taiwanese, a Singaporean, and myself, an Indonesian. We haven't started working yet, so I don't know how it'll be. Luckily I don't have any group project for Philosophy, but I do have a paper to write soon (and I haven't got an idea on what to write) and a presentation coming this Monday on Kierkegaard *major sweatdrop*
Mia! I, um, just noticed the move ^_^ Good to see you back in the blogging (or is it journaling now?) world!
Nee-chan, you do have my home address in Jakarta, do you? I thought you said you have my address? Oh and BTW, I'm a HUGE fan of AokixKaren XD XD XD
Tin-sama! @.@ I'm amazed, really. I thought you were an expert when it comes to taking medicine ^_^;
Pei-yi, STUDY HARD!!! I'll be waiting XD XD XD (C'mon, it'll be my final year, so make my year, huh? =D)
Mai, my pet dog at home is called Lady! XD She's an adorable, hyperactive, can't-be-stop, devious, white Pomeranian dog. I miss her so much =(
I need to sleep now, need to wake up early tomorrow to finish up my study for tomorrow's 10 am midterm exam ^^; I want a holiday~~~~~~~ (And my midterm break was, like, 2 weeks ago?? Sheesh. Feels like months ago.)

Internet connection is going haywire today. And there's a virus going 'round in the network that everyone's unsharing their files and I haven't been able to get my regular anime fix *sulks* I want my Angelic Layer!!!! I really am getting addicted to this series hahahaa... Kodocha 89 is out! *hyper mode*
Today's a not-so-busy day but it's great. I went to the Aeroponics Farm for my Bio field trip and the farm is located far up there that we could see Johor across the strait. My auto-roaming mobile phone instantly switched to a Malaysian service 0.o My wonderful block CGL Ida is a health food maniac so I bought her a few bottles of icky and gross Lettucinos there. Lettucino is a lettuce, kiwi and lime juice concoction. Very healthy but very gross. And Ida loves it so much @.@
Snowdrop aka Henny, thanks for signing the guestbook. I like your layout. My neighbour's name is also Henny, BTW XD
Anne-nee, thanks for the ring tone! Oh, and if postal service is reliable, do send the OVA to my house in Jakarta? My mother will deliver it to me soon enough. Thanks!
Tasia, thanks for linking me!
Kenchan, hai, I'll change your URL in IASC soon. In return, you'll contribute a layout for it, yes??? *pointed look*
Elyse, I feel your pain *sympathetic* My digestive system isn't the best around and it loves to give me trouble so I know what you're going through. Get well soon and don't eat dangerous stuff!
Toshi, I noticed you linked the NUS Anime Club in your collective. Wa~~~i! Thanks. I'm so happy! When are you going to get yourself in here, huh? *wink* Come to think of it, how many more years do I have to wait for y o u to join us? ^_^x
I have an 8 am class tomorrow and 7 more chapters to read for Saturday's midterm. So better study now so I can get at least a 5-hour sleep... I guess.... ^_^x
kodochaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! on Friday, September 21, 2001, 12:41 a.m.
I have a new phone and a new number =D I just bought a Nokia 8250. I love my old Motorola L but since the Nokia came cheaply with the new line so I bought it anyway. I still have my Motorola L and I guess I'll rotate them once in a while muahahaha... I haven't been using Nokia for ages and I'm pretty clueless with it now o.0 Now how do I compose... hmm.... How do I even type???? @.@
Oh yeah, those who want my new number, do email me. Those whose numbers I already have, I'll message you later about my new number. Feel free to call or SMS me anytime!!!
new phone =D on Wednesday, September 19, 2001, 06:00 p.m.
IASC has been updated with a new member, As-chan. I love her site, especially the musics section. I've been looking for Maaya Sakamoto's Easy Listening album mp3s and there they are! XD XD I also received an application for an Italian site o.0 I wonder whether the applicant is an Italian-speaking Indonesian or just a person who mistakes IASC as the ITALIAN Anime Site Clique. I'll email the person later on to clarify this ^_^x
Busy, busy, busy, busy as hell. I hope my hyperactiveness can last me the whole week, since I certainly will need it. *refuses to think about this week's schedule OR next week's* And I want to work on my new site and layouts *pouts* Did I mention I love Kae's layout, BTW? Look at that super hot Sephy!! *drools* I spent about an hour lunch with a new Anime Club comm member today after running a small errand and we were happily gushing and drooling on various bishounens and our favourite mangas. Nyahahahahahaha... We got along quite well and before 5 minutes, we were already analyzing X and HanaKimi between mouthfuls. She said I'm prejudiced towards Kakyou... o.0 Well, I do hate him....
Jen honey, I'm glad you've safely arrived in US! Yil was asking about you too yesterday. We love you, Seal Cow dearest, ganbatte!!! *feeds Farmowner's Almond Crush Grass (tm)* (Yes, our newest flavour!!)

Back from a very sumptous supper. I'm so full and my energy is running low, despite all the chocolate and sugar I ate just now, and my eyes are beginning to feel sticky and tired >>.<< But I still need to prepare for my 8 am presentation tomorrow and I can't sleep with a full stomach like this.... Ack, I think I might just as well sleep now and wake up at 6.30 to prepare... sounds like a good idea... Yeah, I'll do that now XD
I am going to be so very very very fat. *cringe* Maybe I'll go swimming tomorrow if I still have time after finishing my proposals, before interviews start.
mmmhh.... mudpie... *ala Homer* on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, 12:20 a.m.
I have a busy day today. And it hasn't ended yet. I have choir practice in 40 minutes and my chairperson is treating all the members out for supper tonight at N.Y.D.C (which stands for New York Dessert Cafe, a fab place with wonderful mouth-watering desserts). I'm so tired but I'm so full of energy! I have 5 comm interviews tomorrow night for committees here at the hall, 2 of which are for chairperson positions. My ex-Finance Secretary nicely gave me an idea to come up with a proposal for the chairperson interview. And I've had an idea in my head all day long on what to make but I have no time to do it tonight. Maybe I can finish it tomorrow afternoon, since I'm quite free on Tuesdays. No, it won't be a boring, plain, all-business-looking proposal XD XD I'm just feeling so.... excitable today. I'm feeling all bubbly and full of ideas. And I haven't even been watching Kodocha. Hahahaha~
Garion, thanks for linking my blog! =D
Kenchan, just send me the layout anytime you're done with it, okay? =D Thanks, dear.
Shower time! *runs to the bathroom*
"atashi, kurata sana!!!!" on Monday, September 17, 2001, 08:21 p.m.
This is a painful reminder for what happened in Indonesia to the Chinese and Christian communities a few years ago, and it's still happening even until now. For over 30 years, the Chinese had to bear the brunt of the fact that the Republic of China was a communist country hence the generalization was : all Chinese are communists and they are to be despised. It just shows that how civilized and democratic these people claim themselves to be, they are just as blind.
Jap class starts today and it's boring :P The teacher is so not fun.
Kinokuniya has many many new mangas (Clamp's Shirahime-syo, Akaishi Michiyo's Silent Eyes 6, Fruits Basket 7, Meitantei Conan 33). Ok, they're not -that- new, but Kino just put them up on display.
My mother and darling aunts are going back to Jakarta tomorrow ;__;
I want to watch Cowboy Bebop's Knockin' on Heaven's Door. I was browsing some Animage mags today and it looks.. it looks... GREAT! I so love Cowboy Bebop.
Oh and I made a major decision two days ago to sign up for JLPT 2. The Japan Society of the university is helping interested people to register and I happened to pass their booth so I registered right then and there. Actually I bought the booklet and form first, then went on to sit on a nearby bench, mulling over it. A blockmate of mine happened to be sitting there as well and I told her all about it and finally she said that there wouldn't be a point in taking the exam if it's easy. So I took her advice and went for it. Registration fee is a ghastly $30 and I'd be damn if I fail when I have paid so much for it. But... *browses a book of sample question she just bought* this is SO tough! *gnaws nails* Never mind, 2 1/2 month should be enough, RIGHT?
I had a wonderful time at church today. I didn't go to my usual church, instead I go to this church which is sort of like a "backup" church for me LOL I like my usual church and I enjoy it, but there are times where I don't feel like going there and feel like going to this church instead, and everytime I did that, I found an answer to things I've been questioning about, which is just amazing. Anyway, I came for the evening service, but as it turned out the morning service's sermon dealt with (what else?) the recent terrorism attack issue, and I got myself to the sermon summary later on and read it on the way home in the bus. Interested people might want to read the entire book of Habakkuk in the Bible (which is merely a few pages long) whose contents are very relevant to the current situation.
Nee-chan, I'll send you an email =D
Kenchan, it's a lovely layout. Can you adjust it for IASC and send it over to me in .zip? I'll take care the content. I'll put yours up after Anne's, which might probably there for one whole month, so take your time. Get well soon and REST and CHEER UP, do you hear me?
Shi-chan, I just read about it. I'm so sorry, dear. *hugs*

IASC has been updated with a smashing red Hokuto layout made by Anne =D Thank you for the layout!

Vivaldi's music is addictive XD XD
I really have nothing to blog about. Been busy with too many things to do and too many things on my mind. But somehow these few days have been wonderful and fun. I managed to accomplish so many things and I'm happy with myself for it :) It's weird, I know.
Jen honey, have you left for US? Safe journey!
Toshi, I love your layout. I don't know who this Chun is, though... ^^;;
Anne, *drool on the new layout* How about a layout for IASC, huh? *nudge* Or maybe Kenchan wants to do one?? *nudge nudge*
Kenchan, I'm glad you're feeling better now. Be glad that you're alive and well. Life is precious and there are so many useful and good things you can do with your life. Get some rest for the flu, though. I noticed flu always strikes when I'm not in good spirits (mental condition supposedly affects the immune system). So, cheer up!
Honey, (I'm calling almost everyone "Honey" now LOL) I miss you. How are you? Do you have a new phone yet? Do gimme the number?
Bedtime. Despicable evil Macroecons midterm test tomorrow. Wish me luck =D

To those who are in mourning, especially Steph, my deepest condolences. I can't do anything, I can only pray. Do be strong through all this.

No. I didn't faint.
Just a short note before I leave to watch A.I. with Minli and Mui. (Actually, I really want to see A Knight's Tale as well. Heath Ledger!!!! *glomps*)
IASC has a new member. I'm so sick of the layout (it's horrible, it really really really IS!) but I have no time to make a new one, so any of my beloved IASC members would like to contribute one? It's only open to IASC members, as I thought it'd be a good publicity for the members' respective website (and to show off your superb design skills to other people *grin*) coz I'd put a HUGE credit to say who made the layout. No prizes, sorry. I'm a poor struggling student with too many chapters of Macroeconomics textbook to read by Saturday. Besides, the world economy is going into a crisis soon following US attack, and you want ME to give prizes??
My free copy [courtesy of the BizAd faculty, available on racks near you!] of the Asian Wall Street Journal is looking pathetically thin today.

I archived.
I called my brother in US last night. He lives in San Fransisco, actually, but I heard since America shuts itself down, I was wondering whether he was in his office. Unfortunately, I lost his mobile number and only had his office number so I gave it a call anyway and the machine picked my call up >_<
On to business of the day. Will go for a Hepatitis B Screening in an hour. There's this free screening here at school and everyone's been asking me to go along. I am freaking scared. Having my blood taken is one of my biggest phobias and I swear I could faint on the spot. No, no, it's not a medical problem, it's purely psychological. I'm not afraid of blood. I'm okay with seeing other people getting their blood taken. But if it's my blood...... *hysterical scream* There's something very scary in seeing my own blood slowly being taken into the syringe. I turned cold just imagining having my blood taken. AAAAAARRGGGHHHHH~!! Deep breath, deep breath, deep breath. Anyway, since my friends have taken the pains to explain to me how important it is and blah blah blah, I finally agreed to come, provided they go with me to have it done too. For mental support. (Unless I really faint. Then they'll have to carry me back hahaha~~)
