Happy Lover's Day in advance to all who celebrate it. I'll be having my own affair with softball tomorrow, morning 'til night. Grin. |

Fuckfuckfuck. The sky is a sapphire blue; the clouds are a brilliant white -- a perfect day, unless you have cross-country, and unless you got your hand and neck ensnared in a welcoming branch of thorns in the process.
I was silently congratulating myself on my relatively slow speed, for who knows if flesh may be torn if I had run a whit faster? (A rather disturbing imagery, if there be one). Still, not having it torn away posed another problem: I was stuck there with my hand half up, wondering how in the hell there was such dangerous vegetation along a common running route. For the "branch" was lined with thorns, if I hallucinated correctly, not unlike that of a rose stem. And it was more vine than branch.
Then my running partner, Chimmy, had to pick out the thorns embedded in my neck. At least it wasn't -caught- like the hand... I shudder to think otherwise.
Now I can boast of being bitten by a vampire bat. The laceration on the hand is particularly convincing.
(Suddenly, a grand vision of a certain Sanzo-torture sprang before me eyes.)

Dad's working shift has recently hijacked my privilege to use the computer. But I am now to regain full control. For tomorrow, at least.
-----------
Glad to know that 7pm this time of the year still lends a nice fresh azure to the heavens.

s.C.'s legs are sipping a virtual glass of icy orange punch under a virtual Hawaii sun, sighing, "Thank god it's Saturday."
Because Wednesday had bespoken the tale of a hellish post-training PT session which carried on far into the night.
But actually, this was ameliorated when one of the softball juniors told me she and a couple others thought I was the nicest senior in the team. Blush. I mean, this kind of opinion is usually kept to oneself isn't it. It rather catches you in some way when you hear it direct.

Perhaps somebody might have noticed I wasn't online for 2 whole days. Yes! addicted-to-the-computer-screen-s.C. has not even touched her cordless mouse for 2 days straight. WoaH, is this a sign of Things to come? Like maybe I'll stop eating ice-cream? Or maybe I'll quit watching football for a month. Maybe I'll even shrink off from drawing for a week. (For the less-tuned, they mean a rather indefinite no.)
And this afternoon was the familiarisation run for the cross-country at the actual venue and the actual route. I haven't heard anything as ridiculous as this since the day I heard myself making resolutions. Familiarisation??? Why the heck would we want/like/love/NEED that?
Consequently, I managed to decorate the floor of my mum's car with 1mm's goodness of muddy water/watery mud. Wheee. |

My left shoe squeaks. Now I walk around tailed by highly irritating squoots. Apropos of absolutely nothing, I think it sounds like a horribly strangled duck. ...Will somebody please stop me before I find myself using this phrase in an essay... ===========

Yesterday: Sleepy. It's not the drinks, though I must say that some of the secondary 1?2?3? girls were pretty lousy to have gotten themselves drunk within -hours- of coach's chalet. Hearing some of their nonsensical squeals and babbles under the bright daylight just didn't seem right. -_-
Today: I realised, to my horror (for the umpteenth time in separate series of daydream), I have yet to purchase several mangas that had already been out for quite some time. (One of them is STILL Reload #3, but ah~ it's not a priority for now) So this thought brought me to Kino today ^^.
1) When you buy Zero Sum even if you know there is no Saiyuki within, you know you read it for the other strips (like the one mentioned next) as well ^__^.
2) I see Backgammon Remix. I also see the price tag. It says $4620 with a decimal point between the appropiate numbers. Darn. But at least it's cheaper than Salty Dog.
Lastly...

Perhaps this picture makes up for the lack of Saiyuki in this month's ZS ne? Somehow, I love it whenever Sanzo does this particular gesture (which is rare). I don't know why; it just makes him more endearing.*grinz* (Why is it that the sutra's effective length keeps on increasing?) Furthermore, I think there's one really awesome drawing of Hakkai in the ZS; stormy should get ready to scream ^_^
o__O I must take a look at this month's Discover magazine sometime. I read on this blog about some brain breaking revelation about this issue -- some 3D sheets in 10D space and whatnots.(?) Unfortunately you can't read the article online if you're not a subscriber, so I'm left hanging with some seemingly complicated explanations which apparently, had some quantum theory weaved in. -_-
Speaking of space, I got back the GP essay. It seems like I write more persuasively than I can ever hope to vocally. Well, last year the promos-marker did mention "ego", and now this teacher commented "you write persuasively". So writing presents my alter-ego, I see ^^v
And it's the long weekend! Enjoy that extra bit of holiday~ I know I won't do my homework. XP |

1. I FINALLY watched Gensoumaden Saiyuki #4 -- Crimson. Finally. After eons of strangely missing and waiting for it. Now, NOW, I shall remember to catch the THAT #44. -_- I may commit seppuku otherwise. (What's with all the "4"??) 2. I love myself (Gojyo Hakkai Translation) ^__^ One down on my resolution list! Heh. By the way, don't take my word for what transpired in the conversations between SBS and Sanzo; my Jap is still too weak for those. And then some. |
|
Wargh! I pulled my thigh muscles again. -_-
Issue #2 of the day: I left my uniform (the shirt) at school. Strange -- I've never let it happen before.

These are going to be a few cold days -- as cold as being close to the equator allows. But put it in perspective like how I -could- be, but am not, moaning like my relative right over the phone from north of the South China Sea, "It's coooooooold", and I get a temporary warm feeling of sadism. But that is not to say that I didn't experience a brain-numbing -2 degreeC this afternoon sitting right under the blasted/blasting aircon vent during Chem lecture. After that, even the LT1 air-con seemed tropical.
And since I'm a cold blooded animal, as claimed by I-forgot-who, I find it particularly distressing sitting in front of a snow-capped computer screen and doing -- of all things -- the sc**pt. My brain can't function (which I hope explains the lack of qualified blog entries recently).

It's silly, it's beyond human understanding, but I enjoyed drawing it. XD |
|
Apparently, Spyware UnionCK Association caught wind of my antics, and thus subsequently caused a power trip in my house yesterday while I was downloading the spyware scanning thing. -_- But I will not be daunted by no evil. Shall persevere. |

Drinking milk made my heart beat faster today. o__O Or maybe it's the joy of seeing the start of the kami-sama arc in the Reload trailer... but I'm sure that's not it. x__X |

Every once a year, the Psychologist cometh to visit. My uncle hast landed! Maybe from past descriptions, I've portrayed him to be one erudite-looking spectacles-perching hair-combed-neatly gentleman. Just imagine the opposite, and add some leg-put-on-the-chair action like how a gruffy uncle from a void deck would while you're at it.
Oh shit, how did he know.
So I stopped thinking about Diablo II and, I must say, I spent the whole period smiling and nodding at the right moments without uttering one word. It's hard to, you see, when there are 3 people are talking... in the way they are talking, and you just want to retreat to your room to do something useful. I even rejected the beer because I was feeling too downright lethargic to lift a mug.
Then as my uncle suggests, all I'm lacking is the lifesciences experience, since it seems as if I've already got the computer area down pat (well, ....). It's not like I'm not interested, it's just that I can't remember all those things and names you need to memorise; I'm terrible at memorising.

I was only thinking to find out what l33t really means, as in, -really- means. Ended up link hopping on Wikipedia, going from l33tspeak to anime to webcomics and the likes. (It just stopped short on a page for Saiyuki. Tsk.)
But actually my whole essay was crap. I realised I didn't even mention a breath about "NASA"; I think that already constitutes a major essay suicide.

At last I got to -----------
Scintillate, scintillate Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for higher learning. XD |

Last night: Played in rain during softball training. Dragged self back home in hypothermically wet shoes. Showered. Ate dinner with Chapter 5: Vector Space spread in front of my plate. Returned to room. Sat down on bed. Started to pack bag. Morning. ??!?!?!!! I didn't even get to touch my tutorials! Where did the night go??!!! This morning: Woke up, recalling aghast about having dozed off in the middle of packing bag. Stood up. Felt around for spectacles. Found spectacles with left foot. Yes, with my foot, if you know what I mean. Now: Sitting in front of computer wearing disformed spectacles. -----------
Somehow, somehow, I managed to do my tutorials to an extent that looked -not- like I had crammed them all in 45 minutes before the assembly bell rang. Oh, forgive me, I meant -15- minutes, since I arrived later than usual this morning thanks to a helluva mad-rush to stuff lecture notes and tutorials into my bag, a task abandoned -- rather unwillingly -- last night.
I shall retire happily into the long weekend.
Am considering what/whether to wear a sec school uniform for the Chinese New Year celebrations tomorrow. (Edit: Just got a call from friend. I'll transform into a Cedar girl tomorrow ^__^) I am so gonna nail that pro score in THProSkater4. |

First the seat cover, then the bell, now the headlights lamp.
Then again, some of the comics... I'd rather read my self-drawn comic (if it qualifies as webcomic, that is). (The internet lends a good environment to rear one's Egoistic-head. XD)
|
|
It's official. I've calculated that I fit into the Timezone of Moscow. And stormy in the Timezone of Cairo. Where in the world is that
I shall move there, wait out a few months in order to get back into my usual routine, then move to Rio de Janeiro, then Los Angeles.

Today's Chem lecture: Operation BitTorrent. Where you automatically upload the very first chunk of file that you have just downloaded.
Which brings me to this minor issue: If not for the fact that we have actually learnt electrolysis in secondary school, I would not for the life of me have understood the lecture at all.
Trust me, it's not the distracting factor of the back row.

Had both my eyes abused this afternoon. Succumbed to collective cases of sharp-pointy-thingy-flying-into first the left eye, then the right eye. Always kenna when I'm wearing contacts (which in itself aggravates the consequences like hell. Owwwwwwwww)
Am still doing the twice-and-thrice-blasted-dammit script. Took a little break to blog yah. Am suffering muchly. ;_; |
|
I don't believe it. Even my mother is somehow going against me/my schedule without the intention to do so.
After the script discussion today, it was already pretty late for what I had intended to do for the day, since I only received notice for the meeting at the last minute. (May I emphasise that I do not switch on my mobile often, much less during school at 6.30 in the morning. Hmph. Nobody listens.)
But horrors, the car ride goes all the way to Orchard-somewhere because my mum's friend/car mechanic is treating us to dinner. (The car is his, by the way.)
I was still in the dark as to where we were going to eat, since meals with this person usually take place in the neighbourhood coffeeshop, but now we were evidently heading somewhere... expensive.
Oh right, since it's near the New Year, why not treat us to some abalone? I wasn't even registering the enormity of being treated to abalone or shark's fins and the likes. I was only dizzily wondering then how terrifically I would 1) Fail to finish the script by the deadline, 2) Fail. The chem test.
[1] exorbitant: the word that s.C. has seen for the 1st time and -3- times in a row this month. So she decided to use it.
In other words, I'm rather glad there's no major tutorial tomorrow, except for the possible essay writing for GP. But I'll still stagger home tomorrow night, predictably exhausted from the imminent hell-PT that comes with The-Return-Of-Coach, and will collapse onto the bed without doing pretty much.

[EDITED]
On top of trying to rush a revised version of the Dramafeste script by yet another looming deadline, I now hold the obligations to write to -2- mortals. *breaks down*
So maybe I'll just wait for my angel to write to me before I'll have the motivation to write to my mortals.
About the increasing dread of having to pump out the script by sometime-very-near-today:
Then suddenly, it was gone. Never came back. Not what it used to be. And it coincided with my enrolling into this school last March. (It doesn't prove anything, but it sure left me bemused.) So after rounding a detour, I'm just saying that I dread the next 2 days when I have to churn out every plausible line for the script with vehemence. Because if this were last year, I would have been simply delighted with this opportunity of an outlet for some literary expressions. Instead, I'm doing it as if I'm being forced to (even though I actually like it somewhere within) -- and to get it crammed out with tomorrow's near-full day/night of softball, and Thursday's Chem test in mind, will be very darn taxing. I will somehow die in streams of eve-confetti before the New Year even arrives.

Ah yes ^^;; the trouble with this host is that it doesn't really permit linking. So you can either 1) Open it up in a new window and -then- click on the address box and hitting enter again to make it look as if you typed in the URL yourself, or 2) Copy the source code using the right mouse click and paste it in a new window, or 3) Just go to the image page. ^_^

Hmm. Looks like there'll be some Sanzo-abuse in the next episode of Reload. ...*cheers*
So, after a new year break's worth of episode, Reload returns with a much greater sounding ending theme, which of course, translates into new pictures for the credits.
In fact, they are the art printed in the most recent Zero Sum. o_O What's the rush??
Even the advertisements contain eye-candy.
Onto the story proper.
-----------
"Maa, yes, I've gotten used to the neighbourhood somehow.... oh, hello there Gojyo. Will you be coming back for dinner?"
At this point I was squeaking at how SeXy Goyjo looked. Did'ya see the look in his eyes? XD XD XD That's almost melancholy.... XDXDXD Oooh... *dies* And this lady was also dying to know why they behaved so very awkwardly around each other... -----------
"Sha Goyjo -- the Taboo Child,
"As far as I know, no problem has arisen yet from their living together."
"Mm. Well, Genjo Sanzo, the fact that Cho Hakkai is a criminal will never change.
----------- And s.C. says: Goyjo! How can you let Hakkai down?! Look at him, waiting so patiently on the bed for you--- never mind that the bed isn't big enough for two, but space isn't an issue is it? ^_________^ Goyjo: Shut up. I'm whipping off my jacket already.
"It's okay. (Sound of s.C. knocking herself back into Sane Land)
"Well, I think I'll find some jobs soon, since my wound is showing no signs of side-effects, and the prosthesis is settling down well too.
"You kidding? Who's taking care of who now?
"Yes, I understand our lifestyles are very different. You know, till now we've yet to get know of each other... so, have you been living alone all along?" "Aah? Ah, no. Once-----" Major interruption. Poor door. "Ha, Same old run-down home. 'Tis me, Goyjo." And as Gojyo went on to lecture about how his door was supposed to be opened -towards- the outside, can everyone please see the... look on Hakkai's face. Aw.
"Ah! Hakkai, this guy here is Banri; he lived together with me till one year ago---
What? I had expected Hakkai and Goyjo to click with each other as easily as... as how they -should- have clicked with each other...

Dingdingding. And hence, S32's proud tradition of innate natural talent proves to extend its reign for at least another year. *cackles*
Indeed! Our juniors have fallen well in step behind us and gone on to win the Best Class Item for yesterday's orientation campfire night. *cheers*
We have such great juniors; they're so damn on. Really, *shrugs* I have nothing to say.
Had fun in the orientation (meant NOT for us, but who cares), and had fun with regards to... the dressing up.
Jeez, I'm literally nodding off in front of the computer currently. More on it tomorrow then. Maybe. |
