My, everyone just watched the X-files finale huh? =) I was such a big fan and I never missed a single episode since the beginning. Until I travelled back and forth between countries too much I lost track on which ones I haven't watched and what was happening. And well, now, I have no TV in my room so........ ^_^x

Anne, *koff* I remember that Animonster rarely has accurate informations. That's what I remember from my high school days anyway.

BTW, everyone should read P. Rico's newest RK fic on the kffdisc/rkff : Ice Blue and the Seven Other People. I couldn't stop laughing. Apparently there's a challenge going around in the AMML (I'm not in it anymore) for a fairy tale A/M fic. Which is we have P. Rico's fic and Jo-chan's equally amusing fic, Misao's Magic Lamp. Kffdisc is picking up traffic lately *grin* My post of rkff today even exceeded 10 fics 0.o

Time to peel my eyes off from the computer and get down to business. *pulls out her Tokyo map, travel guide books and a stack of X mangas* Damn, I'm hungry....... and thirsty. Cold drink, yeah.

selene went off to the vending machine on Tuesday, May 22, 2001, 01:35 a.m.

I finally watched CCS 2nd movie today at Mui's house =D It was on DVD, so we watched it with REAL TV (excuse me for being such a "kampung", but I don't have a TV in my dorm room mah! <-- Singlish). Anyway, it was cute! It was waffy! It was sweet! Kero is SO FAT, he even has bulging tummy! AND I WANT MY TOUYA! *shoves Yukito/Yue aside* I miss my weekly CCS dose ;_; When I get home I'm going to dig up those dusty moldy tapes of mine and rewatch my taped CCS episodes MUAHAHAHA! And yes by God, I WILL find myself a Kero plushie in Japan. No thanks to those who refused to buy it for me *glares at Daddy Tosh and Blackie*

Met someone else who goes "WOOOOOAAAHHH!" when I told her I'm a BizAd girl today. Yeah, go figure.

Thank you to those who have offered condolences =) I'm grieving in my own way, I guess. Somehow I am not being allowed to mope around too much with all kinds of things popping up for me to do. Or maybe that's just the after-effects of procrastinating ^^;

Carine, yes he mentioned you to me =D So now I have two people to guide me around Tokyo, ne? I doubt Darto will be much obliged to do it, though. I'll give you a call when I'm there.
And who might this be? Links me with my *koff, koff* real name *koff, koff* Do I know you, BTW? Does anyone know her, BTW? =D
Anne, your orders have been taken =D Anything else to add on top of it? I just hope the stores where I'll buy them from accept credit card since I desperately need the cash LOL
Didi's log gets more and more interesting day by day =)

If you're lucky, ZS will be finished by tonight. But don't count on it, since I have lots of distractions here. *eyeing Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and the GTO drama CDs and the newly-borrowed-from-the-library Japan travel guide books and the half-finished Standard Deviation new layout* I also have to do some research for our "Grand CLAMP Historical Sites Tour" (in other words, read my mangas =D)

selene is hunting CCS 2nd movie songs on Monday, May 21, 2001, 09:12 p.m.

ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! <-- just watched Kodocha 63.

There will be a new layout soon =D Tomorrow, maybe, when I feel like continuing what I have worked on. Everyone must be sick of this layout. I know I am. Pler.

I like Nanase Aikawa. I wonder why I rarely hear people saying her name. I think most of her fans are male ^^; A blockmate of mine (a guy) lent me her Foxtrot album and I liked it. I walked around with it blaring in my ears for several days. I was thinking of buying a new CD today but I couldn't find anything I want >.<

Hmmmmmm....... today was boring. On an impulse I went to another church instead of my usual one. It was an English service (I usually attend an Indonesian service) and the priest was Australian and he had a lovely accent *grin* It's a nice change from everyday Singlish I hear. I'm afraid my English might have deteriorated here...

(an IDD phone conversation with Daddy Tosh last night)
Tosh : Arief's English is SOOOOOO Singlish! He said "I already eat".
Me : Huh? Isn't that correct? What's it's supposed to be?
Tosh : >.< "I have already eaten!"
Me : Err... is that so? *trying frantically to remember what I usually say*

People here usually say, "I eat already." OMG, I need to fix my English *miserable look* Somebody please whack me when I start showing my Singlish tendencies.

Tosh : I told you not to go to Singapore, daughty. Go USA!!

I had another upset when I returned this evening and just now. I fed GC's gerbils as usual, and as I was about the scooped their plate from under the saw dust, I saw something furry buried under the saw dust. I stared at it for 5 seconds before freaking out and burying it again. I counted the gerbils, because I had never done that before. Just now GC came back from JB for tomorrow's Big Walk and I asked her how many gerbils she had and she said there were 9 of them. Then I said there was only 8 now. I told her what happened and she digged it up, but she couldn't take it out too, so we asked one of the guys to do it. It would be fine if it were JUST a body, but it was a BODYLESS HEAD. The gerbils have eaten the body, leaving the head. The guys were having fun showing it around and taking a look at it >.< I'm so freaked. So is GC. Somebody, just take them if you want!!!!! I don't know when one could have died, when I fed them everyday and walked past them often, as the cage is just left out on the corridor. Nobody saw anything. How could they finish off eating one body so quickly? *shudders*

selene is just upset and sad on Saturday, May 19, 2001, 11:37 p.m.

My hair looks.................. it looks like Utada Hikaru's, actually. Especially the one in the Can You Keep a Secret video. I haven't decided whether I like it or not. Wait until I wake up tomorrow and see how it looks then ^_^

People who have been e-mailing me about ZS, err.. I'm working on it. It's not that I have a lot of work to do but I'm just plain lazy *kicks self* But I'm going to finish everything soon, so be patient, okay?

Watashi nara itoshisa dake de

selene is singing along to Maaya Sakamoto =D on Saturday, May 19, 2001, 01:10 a.m.

I am going to cut my hair tomorrow *crossing fingers* Hopefully it'll turn out well. I hate my hair. It NEVER looks good. *miserable look*

selene goes back to watching GW on Thursday, May 17, 2001, 07:36 p.m.

Yesterday Mui, Minli and I lasted exactly 30 minutes inside Haw Par Villa. It was freaking hot, there's barely shelter, much less air-coned places, and there really was nothing there so we decided to hop on a bus to Suntec Mall and bug our travel agent again. After that we went to the National Library and ended up in Kinokuniya (where else?). We were on the way to Borders, another huge book store, when our travel agent called us so we rushed back to Suntec >.< The three of us are confirmed to extend our stay in Tokyo for a total of 7 days, a change from our previous 4 days. Because if we only extend for 4 days, we'll miss weekend in Shinjuku and we want to see all those cosplayers on the streets ^^; And we're also doing our "Grand CLAMP Historical Sites Tour" (was : "X Scenic Tour") around Tokyo.

(looking at pictures on some brochures)
Me : *points at a picture* Rainbow Bridge!!!!!! Subaru x Seishirou!!!!!
Mui : What's at the Diet Building? *points at a picture*
Me : Oh, it's the Parliament building.
Mui : Is it in X?
Me : Well, Princess Hinoto lives in the basement of the building.
Mui : OK, then we MUST go!
Me : But there's nothing there! It's just a building!
Mui : Never mind, we'll just go there to take a picture beside the sign that says "Diet Building" so we can show it to other people although they won't know what it means
Me : We DEFINITELY have to go to Tokyo Tower. It's a historical site!
Minli : Historical? @.@
Me : you know... CCS, MKR??
Minli : Oh. That.

Anyway, we had fun yesterday ^_^x I'm going over to Minli's place soon to raid her collection of manga/anime/fantasy books *peace sign*

Tin has a new DN Angel layout!!! The layout is rather a different style than your usual, ne, Tin? I also LOVE Hikaru's new layout too! It's blue and it's HanaKimi!

Something from the infamous Haw Par Villa excursion : "misuse of books" is considered a sin in Chinese belief. There are many dioramas inside the big dragon thingy there depicting scenes from Hell, with a sign listing which sins got punished on which level of hell by which king and what punishment the offenders will get. I can't remember what the punishment in Hell is, I think it's to be thrown to a field of protruding swords? Either that, or getting sawed into two. So okay..... how exactly do I misuse my mangas?

selene had dinner at aunt's place and not a single chicken dish in sight! *happy* on Wednesday, May 16, 2001, 08:44 p.m.

I'm going to Haw Par Villa tomorrow! *tries to sound enthusiastic* Mui and Minli asked me to join them to do all this "tourist thing" there before that old run-down place closed down although they're Singaporeans >.< Practice before the 3 of us go to Japan? LOL. There's nothing there, really. It's just a former amusement park with lots of statues from Chinese mythology. When I was small, about 6 or 7 or so, my mother used to drag my brother and I there everytime we came here. It was supposed to be educational, I guess o.0

Both of my feet need to be massageeeee~~~~! GAH. I sound like an old woman with rheumatism. But they do throbbed like hell >.< *sprays pain relief* I think I remembered saying I would go to get them checked by a doctor after Dance Night months ago. Well, as you can see, I haven't.

Gonna go to bed early tonight.

selene sings along to silly SMAP song on Tuesday, May 15, 2001, 12:05 a.m.

Anne, it's not THAT funny *hurt look* LOL. Besides, it's holiday, so I have time to obsess over things. (As if I'm THAT busy with school work on school days ^^;) YES! I want the lyrics!! I've been humming the song on and off since yesterday.

I miss Yin and Jessica! Both of them are moving to a different city (country, in Yin's case) and haven't contacted me in a while.... ;_;

Some Asst PD I am >.< The NUS Anime Club site went through some problems when updating this month and I knew nothing about it. I pulled out of my reviews promise in the last minute too because I haven't been in the writing mood lately. I feel so guilty now ;_; But never mind, I'll be writing several things for it soon *evil grin* Meanwhile, our May edition features the Cowboy Bebop review! Wai~~~~!!! My colleagues never fail to amaze me every month with their amazing reviews.

selene is listening to too many SMAP songs >.< on Monday, May 14, 2001, 06:10 p.m.

I know someone is laughing as she is reading this.

selene is not going to watch anime until 6 am again on Monday, May 14, 2001, 02:40 a.m.

selene is downloading Gravitation episodes on Sunday, May 13, 2001, 03:59 a.m.

Elyse & Anne, I don't think I've ever met anyone who has read Kyoko Hikawa and NOT like her works. I LOVE Izark *drools when seeing Anne's new layout* I love Fujiomi too. Chizumi & Fujiomi was a very old work and the Indonesian translation is a bit weird but it's still one of my favourite series =)

I have just started watching Gundam Wing *laugh* I know I'm so behind in this, but hey, it was difficult finding it around since it's an old anime. Anne is trying to poison me with her Koyasu Takehito obsession. But I like Koyasu as Himejima in the HanaKimi drama better *grin* Maybe because his voice is *ahem* closer to my ears. LOL.

*parades around with a sign saying "Anne should read HanaKimi. NOW."* Your Animonster review fans will thank you for it, dear.

Laura, ne, Dune was great, right? I haven't watched the rest of the episodes, although they're lying here in my harddisk. I haven't read the book. I might get it, though =)
Pei-yi, I hope you're alright now! *hugs*

I would have watched more GW and that GTO anime and that GTO movie and that Mahou Tsukai Tai OVA and that Bichunmoo movie and that Dune mini series and done my ZS work today, if Guek Ching hadn't showed up in front of my door when I woke up this afternoon to drag me to accompany her doing her Mother's Day shopping mission. Tsukaretaaaa~~~!
