finally... really really finally... Takaya sensei finally ended Fruits Basket last week in the latest issue of Hana to Yume... i'm sure many are very glad that it's finally over. and compared to other manga endings, furuba didn't have an anti-climax feeling, though they are other people who feels it's too perfect an ending.
but hey! it's manga... u should have the perfect ending... make the readers happy and all...
-------------------------------------------------
in other nonsensical matters...
had my block leave 2 weeks ago... family had the whole house repainted...
and now, with the school holidays in full force, many staff are on leave and we're starting our much dreaded last month of 2006 at work... lots of things to do, and many things to cover for those that are away on long leave...
i'm more dreading when my colleague goes on ML (maternity leave) after december cos den i would have to cover her work until she comes back 4 months later... 4 MONTHS!! i hope my machine doesn't break down that often during those 4 months...
i'm already dreaming abt the 1 week leave i'm having at the end of jan next year...
of course, with the start of december also comes all preparations for christmas celebrations... with church, the many events all start piling up from the 2nd week all through until new year's...
thank God i managed to give away my Christmas Day duty at work... i'll be very sad if i had to work on one of the most important days of the year...

live-action Death Note
one big resentment about the movie... and i attribute it to the movie makers wanting to appeal more to the general population...
they didn't tell us the real reason why Light wanted to use the death note... AKA complete world domination... to become "god" of a new world order...
they made it seems as if he was doing it for the good of everyone by killing off those that weren't brought to justice or served enough punishment for their crimes...
but i think many would agree that part of the reason Death Note appeals to people is that instead of the "hero" character that most stories have, this one has an "anti-hero"; one that instead of wanting to do good everywhere he goes, is more interested in himself and him the "all-mighty"...
i should say i'm glad i haven't started reading the manga yet... or i might be hating the way the movie differs from the manga... i've only watched 3 episodes of the anime and already i have much to say about how different the movie is from what i've watched...
*shrugs*
at least the movie got me more interested in the anime... especially with the anime being in such a slow pace... i haven't even see the whole face of L yet!
in any case...
a little trivia for those that have watched both the live-action movie and anime of Death Note...
did u realized that the same seiyuu voiced for the shinigami Ryuk in both??
heehee...
thot that was a nice touch...

Fall Anime 2006 Part 2
i'm late, but anyway...
here's part 2 of Fall 2006...
more KIV (keep-in-view) series here than part 1 which contains mostly my sure-watch series...
Pumpkin Scissors
latest GONZO series, set in post-war time, where military group "Pumpkin Scissors" is assigned to gather information and clear up all the left-over damage caused during the war. although they seems to be doing much more than their assigned duties, since their female captain juz happens to be an adrenaline-fueled justice avenger. add in mysterious male lead and it's all set to be a decent series.
hmm, others have said that it has a FMA feeling to it, but since i haven't watched FMA myself, i can't comment on that. but i do like war-time story plots, attributed to my gundam (Wing & Seed), rahxephon and zegapain obsession.
the plot itself looks decent enough, art and animation is very good, especially the fighting scenes. so all in all, probably nothing to stop me from finishing til the end.
Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion
futuristic japan is taken over by the Britannia empire, and is known as Area 11. angst main lead is bent on fighting against the empire and obtains power from a mysterious girl, which he uses in the ep1 to order the empire troop that was chasing him to shoot themselves. (eewww!)
not forgetting to mention the best friend that for some reason, surprise surprise, seems to be with the Britannia empire military. how will the two friends fight it out? what is the ulterior motives of the best friend in being with the enemy military?
did i mention that CLAMP did the character designs?!!! straight from the heart, that's really my main reason why i'm watching this. thank goodness the plot isn't half as bad and the mechanics looks pretty promising too.
Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
no summary cos i haven't seen it yet. but from the trailers i've seen, it looks pretty good.
i can't believe no one is subbing this yet. this has gotta be the only one out of all the rest that i haven't seen yet i'm dying to take a look.
because of rurouni kenshin, i'm really interested in the whole bakumatsu era. youtube.com already has the raws, but my japanese lang is not good enough to pick up most of the terms.
argghhh!!! someone please sub this!!
Shonen Onmyouji
young onmyouji-in-training can't see the spirits which he's supposed to be fighting against, making him quite embarassed considering that his grandfather is the famous Abe no Seimei. one day, he meets the shikigami that used to belongs to his grandfather. with the shikigami's help, he began to see the spirits again, and from then on, start his official training.
i like this one, maybe cos of it's set in olden day japan, which i like very much. once again, i'll credit that to too much rurouni kenshin. i watched and read RK at least 2 times.
it also has another similiarity with D.Gray-man in that it's sort of an "exorcist"-type of show. in any case, this is definitely a keeper for me.
Sumomomo Momomo
ahaha... another brainless show. but this one is really funny, and even better than Yamato Nadeshiko. slightly more ecchi than others, but still, that's where all the funny parts come in.
fighting girl bent on getting a guy to make babies with him so that they can produce the strongest kids to carry their bloodline and their fighting style. guy is not only uninterested, but is terrified of fighting, and instead, aspires to be a policeman.
did i mention that this show is hilarious? it really really is. so please do check it out.
-----------------------------------------
KIV series...
KIV meaning, the possibility of dropping them a half-way, or even after a few episodes are high...
Kanon
1st KIV anime is this remake of the highly popular 2002 version of the original Kanon. after 7yrs, guy returns to a city where he spent his childhood. enters girls whom he seemed to have met in the past. and of course, he gotta have partial amnesia and forgotten some childhood memories that connects him and the girls he meet.
well, like i said, i'm getting slightly tired of the whole female harem routine. and kanon just fit nicely into this genre. however, because of all the big fuss it's making in the anime world, i'll probably watch a few more episodes to see how it goes.
probability of dropping series: high
Asatte no Houkou
2 female leads, one a young woman, the other a young girl, exchange their ages when they pray to the same rock shrine. the link between the 2 leads is the guy who is the young girl's brother, and used to date the young woman before leaving her to take care of his sister.
another ep1 where all the main characters were introduced and a brief background was given on why the male lead left the young woman. bordered on slow and almost boring. however, i'm slightly interested to know the developments of the 2 female leads since the end of ep 1 was when the two just exchanged their ages.
probability of dropping series: medium
Busou Renkin
male and female leads fighting against enemies called Homunculus (made from alchemy) with their own alchemy, the Kakugane. male lead he tried to save female lead from being attacked by a Homunculus but was killed instead. in replace of his heart, he was given his own kakugane by female lead.
from viewpoint of the manga, it was quite a disappointment, given that the mangaka is Watsuki Nobuhiro who gave us Rurouni Kenshin. but i watched ep 1, and it wasn't half as bad. but also because they haven't gotten to the draggy and really ridiculous middle part of the story.
still, i might keep going on this series if the jokes and funny parts are still acceptable.
probability of dropping series: medium
Ayakashi Ayashi
lots of supernatural fighting happening in japan during the Tenpou era (1830-1844). special group of people, which includes the male lead, having the ability to fight against spirits coming from the spirit world. male lead also seems to be part of a group of people that are discriminated by the higher-end society in the show. *shrugs* typical.
not that good for a first episode, mainly cos it was quite draggy. another introduction episode is how i would round this.
but since it's taking a much coveted timeslot on sat, it is rumored to be quite a lengthy one too (maybe a year or so), and there are high expectations for it to do well. at least the art animation is good. something to look forward to when all else fails.
probability of dropping series: low
Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na -Crescent Love-
moon princess comes down to earth for exchange program and lives in same house as male lead as his sister is the ambassador assistant. the two may have met when they were kids, though the guy doesn't seem to remember.
another female harem show, though this one doesn't repulse me as much as Kanon did. both leads don't look like the angsty types, so there might be hope left for this.
probability of dropping series: low
-----------------------------------------
well, this sums up most of the Fall anime i'll be watching for the next 3-6mths. might pick up a few others along the way, but as it is, i'm quite loaded with what i have now, plus the long-running ones like One Piece, Nana, Bleach, etc.
with such a packed Fall season, i'm expecting Winter 2006 to release lesser series, especially since most of the fall series are 26-episodes long. we'll have to see when the time comes...

Fall Anime 2006 Part 1
ok, part one of a very long list...
it'll be too draggy to put all in one entry... plus, i'm not fast enough to come up with a complete list at one go...
Kin-iro no Cordo ~primo passo~
based on a popular RPG game, the story revolves a school music competition. while the female lead is not musically inclined, she is given a magical violin (by a little fairy no less) that allows the user to play it beautifully, and forced to join the competition.
bishonen-galore, the art and character designs are up to standards. lots of shojo moments, and since it's based off a love-stimulation game, focus is not only on the female lead and one male lead since there are a few others to choose from. i am also reading the manga which is currently serializing in LaLa. will definitely be a keeper.
Marginal Prince
another bishonen-filled anime. this time, based off some cell phone dating-simulation game for women. story revolves male lead that is sent overseas to study art in a all-guys' school that is virtually hidden from the world in a small island. enters stories of all the beeyoootiful guys in his school.
not much happened in the 1st episode except for all the character introductions, and plot is still unknown to me. will haf to review more episodes. but given the amount of cute guys, it'll definitely be a keeper for me.
Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~
as all female harem anime, male lead transfers to new school, where he interacts with the girls he meet and of course, falling for the most unreachable one that, of course, every guy already has their eyes on.
ok, this is probably the surprise one in the list. i never expect that i'll like this. given i'm actually getting tired of the female harem routine. not that i dun still watch them, but i'm more into male harem now.
mwahaha, looking at my choices of anime now. my first 2 shows are already male-harem oriented. but this is actually good... will be sticking by this for awhile to see how it turns out.
D.Gray-man
young exorcist male, together with his fellow exorcists, goes around fighting against the Millennium Earl and his akumas, created from human spirits he captures.
OMG! i'm regretting not read the manga yet, cos this is really good! the 1st episode already had me hooked through and through. although i might be biased since i've juz finished Trinity Blood which has a similiar plot. in fact, i much preferred this to...
Death Note
yes, as much as i prefer D.Gray-man, Death Note still has its draws.
ambitious guy, who wants to be the new "god", sets to bring a new world order as he pens names in a shinigami notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written on it.
what is it with people and complete world domination??
not much to say, cos it's probably one, if not the most, anticipated anime to come out during fall 2006. the 1st episode wasn't as fantastic as i imagined though. well, it's still only episode 1, so things much pick up after that. looking forward to yamaguchi kappei's L character to appear.
fyi, the movie version is due out in sg next week. WOHOO!
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge
4 beautiful bishonens, in order to get free rental on the mansion they live in, takes on the ultimate task, to transform the landlady's niece from ugly hag to beautiful lady. well, technically, the female lead is not ugly, she juz needs alot alot ALOT of work to be done on her. which is where the bishonens comes in.
every season, there is bound to be a few brainless anime that will appeal to closet bimbos like me. this season, the 1st one up is yamato nadeshiko. quite entertaining, and i love all the SD scenes. i'm expecting more laughter as they continue to transform her into a lady.
----------------------------------
now for some that i've watched which i think is not worth watching after the 1st episode, and definitely not for keeping... yes, it's just me, so if you like it, that's really just you...
Lovely Idol
this, is a total waste of time. girls trying, struggling to break into the idol world. not much plot. the songs are not as good, and most of the girls are juz plain too weepy. uuggghhh....
it could be also factored to the idol thingy. reminds me too much of the many stupid idol contests. american idol, sg idol, project superstar, star idol, etc. eewww...
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
guy dress up as a girl to attend a girl school. enters lots of other girls literally flinging themselves on him, not knowing that he's in drag.
ok, so this is not Strawberry Panic. but judging from the character designs, it already looks like as a strawberry panic in disguise. even the characters looks similar. i'm not into shojo-ai, so that's probably why i dun like it. even if it is not real shojo-ai to begin with since the lead is in fact a male.
it'll be too draggy to put all in one entry... plus, i'm not fast enough to come up with a complete list at one go...

if i were a multi-billionaire...
if i were a multi-billionaire...
i would start suing our neighbouring country...
i will sue them so much, they wouldn't even have the money to buy matchsticks to burn their land...
i will sue them so much, that the only way they can even light a fire is by using the most ancient methods....
so they pretty much have 2 choices; either by rubbing wood against wood, or striking 2 rocks against each other...
if i were a multi-billionaire, i would so so SO sue them...
FYI, the PSI as of 2pm, is 91...
at 10am, it was at a freaking 130... ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY!!!
i've been experiencing headache, eye irritation, throat irritation and juz plain displeasure at the whole haze thing... i can't go outdoors without complaining to everyone i meet how bad the haze is... and repeating it over and over again...
things had better start improving soon...

tired from shopping...
all in all, bangkok was a fruitful trip...
i dun think i've walked so many shopping places in the span of four days before... where really, all u ever do when u wake up and start ur day is to go shopping and shopping and more shopping...
thankfully we still had good dinners and of course, my long-awaited thai traditional massage on my last nite.... gosh... the massage was so good i fell asleep halfway through the thing... my legs especially, felt very energized after the 1hr was up...
but still, it was a tiring trip...
well, at least we didn't have to wake up very early every morning... clearly, since we're on a shopping trip, there's no use of waking up early since we dun have to go sight-seeing or anything...
anyway, i'm glad to be back in sg... i doubt i can survive in thailand anymore with all the foreign language and foreign signboards... i can't understand a single thing there, and neither can most of the people understand what i'm saying too...
and if u think the traffic condition in malaysia is bad, thailand is the worst...
*sighs*
i am juz happy to be back on sg streets on tuesday nite...
i dun think i've walked so many shopping places in the span of four days before... where really, all u ever do when u wake up and start ur day is to go shopping and shopping and more shopping...
thankfully we still had good dinners and of course, my long-awaited thai traditional massage on my last nite.... gosh... the massage was so good i fell asleep halfway through the thing... my legs especially, felt very energized after the 1hr was up...
but still, it was a tiring trip...
well, at least we didn't have to wake up very early every morning... clearly, since we're on a shopping trip, there's no use of waking up early since we dun have to go sight-seeing or anything...
anyway, i'm glad to be back in sg... i doubt i can survive in thailand anymore with all the foreign language and foreign signboards... i can't understand a single thing there, and neither can most of the people understand what i'm saying too...
and if u think the traffic condition in malaysia is bad, thailand is the worst...
*sighs*
i am juz happy to be back on sg streets on tuesday nite...

why oh why....
why are there such things as lizards around... it's one of the many questions i'm bound to ask God when i meet Him...
another encounter with another lizard... this time, right in my room!! mind you, it's always these rare occasions when the whole house is empty except for me...
as i was happily watching my anime in the room, i saw sudden jerkish movements on the wall beside my bed... horrors of ALL horrors, there was a HUGE lizard on my wall... and it was getting very close to my soft toys that were on my bed, leaning against the wall!!
of course, i was already backing away in my chair, up to the point of where my door is, but still keeping a lookout for the lizard... and it seems to be playing a game of somewhat... crawling up and down the wall... sometimes, it went so close to my soft toys, i thought it was gonna make a jump at them...
arrrggghhhh!!!!!
where was my dad when i need him most desperately!
called my parents... wherever they are, they must do all means to come home ASAP so that my dad can come and catch the lizard immediately...
the waiting period, though i think it was juz a mere 15mins, was an agony for me... wanted to make a run to save my soft toys, but was paralyzed with fear that the lizard might jump on me if provoked...
i was near to tears...
and i really was so frightened that i cried... and that was when everyone (my parents and joyce) was back home... maybe it was relief, or maybe it was because nobody (actually juz my parents. my sis, she could empathize) seemed to see the seriousness of the matter... hello! u would cry too if i lock u in a room with ur most fear nemesis running astray!!
anyway, dad managed to, after 10mins of bending around my bed, catch the lizard... although catch is probably not the right word to use... as the lizard was running very fast, my dad squashed it flat with one of the bedpost as it was trying to go past, literally...
not a very pretty sight... or so joyce says... i was still stuck at the entrance of her room ever since my dad started the lizard-hunting... the lizard's stomach was flattened and apparently burst/squashed open or something...
ughh....
so ends another terrible encounter with lizards...
ugghhh....... shudders juz thinking abt it...
*thinks back*
is this my second entry abt lizards already????
ugghhhhh.......

Forbidden City
i am so glad i decided to watch Forbidden City: Portrait of an Empress.
so so SO glad i finally got to watch it on yesterday night with meow meow... it's was so good, i went to buy the soundtrack during the intermission... have been listening to it on my mp3 player whenever i have the chance...
Kit Chan sang very well, Hosanne Leong and partner were the funnymen, and there was a cute little emperor Tung Hsu that only had one line in the whole musical...
the only thing stopping me from enjoying it thoroughly was this hyperactive moving head in front of me belonging to a ACJC boy...
ugghh....
the worse thing was that he so wants to talk to his friends on either side of him (hence the hyperactive moving), yet none of them seems to want to talk to him, thus giving him single-sentence answers...
hello... get the hint and stop moving already!!!
*coughs*
but of course, other than irritating ACJC boys, the whole musical went very well... we even had quite good seats...
unlike when i went to watch Snow.Wolf.Lake where i could barely make out who's who at the stage, i could at least see Kit Chan, and not cos i looked at the program to know she's coming out at that particular scene...
i'm getting hooked on Dick Lee's musicals... wondering what is gonna be showing next...
^_^.``
ps. countdown!! 2 DAYS!! 2 DAYS to bangkok trip!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!!!

HanaKimi taiwan TV drama
yup... it's official... taiwan is gonna start airing the live version of hanazakari no kimitachi e (affectionately known as HanaKimi) sometime in the month of september... discovered the news when i was randomly looking at Hisaya Nakajo's official website...
as such, i'm still debating on whether i will be watching... i mean, HanaKimi is one of my favorite manga... but knowing taiwan pple, the show is gonna be mutilated... badly...
look wat they did to the very 1st manga-converted show, Hana Yori Dango... the 1st season was good... the 2nd part was terrible; not only did it not follow the manga, lots of other rubbish things were added in...
so u can see why i'm very doubtful abt the HanaKimi live version... hmm.... well, i still haf some time to think abt it...
fyi, for moo moo's sake... ella is the female lead...
well, juz so u noe...
*shrugs*
not that i think it'll make any difference...

Some thoughts at work
Counting down to my 2 months of employment, I am starting to feel real depress... Talking about it doesn't help anymore... I have so much mixed feelings about everything. Tears seems to be at the brim of my eyes everytime I sit down and look at my work... Maybe it is healthier to get a dairy to write down my thougts...

tuesdays with Morrie
wednesday morning, on the MRT to work...
the moment i started reading this book, i had to constantly sniff back tears that threatens to roll down my eyes... i know i know, i cry too easily... but can you really blame me for loving this book...
i'm sure everyone who read this book is somehow touched by the story... as yomay says, it's one of those inspirational books that if you're a sentimentalist like me, you'll totally fall in love with... or if you're one that likes more drama and brain-thinking, might think this as boring...
thank goodness i'm the sentimentalist and closet-bimbo...
heehee... i really am a closet-bimbo... and i'm not afraid of saying it loudly and proudly... i'd rather read books that do not require me to think too much...
plus if i'm reading brain-bloggering books, i tend to keep thinking abt the storyline, even when i'm not reading it and wouldn't stop til i finish the book... it's juz too tiring to think so much over a book...
give me bimbo or sentimental books anytime.... =P
anyway, i finished tuesdays with Morrie after i got back from my AU supper outing at birdy's place...
couldn't read the last few pages when i was in choir juz now, cos i could totally feel my tears at the back of my eyes... this is something i could only do in the safety of my room...
i shall not be like my dear biao-mei who cried very badly in the MRT over a manga even I didn't cry over...
(that's for saying i'm slow, =P)
to the other pple, read the book... already regret not reading it much earlier... *sighs*
tp, thanks for lending the book to me...

anime news...
ok, part 2... cos i realized it'll be too long to put everything together in one entry...
----------------------------------------
in anime news...
summer is upon us... well, technically, it's upon japan, not sg... so new anime series are out...
here's the few that i've watched so far:
W = can watch, but not to keep
WK = can watch and keep
1) Zero no Tsukaima (W) - feel like i'm watching Shakugan no Shana again... which, is true to a certain extend since the 2 main leads are voiced by the same seiyuus in SnS... magician-in-training girl summons boy, who juz happens to be sucked into a portal while walking on the streets, as her servant... he wants to go back to japan and she wants a better servant, but for now, they're stuck with each other...
currently on ep2, so not much progress yet with the plot... hoping for story to develop more...
2) Bokura ga Ita (W) - typical shoujo manga series... high school setting, girl likes popular guy... how they got together blah blah blah...
not that interesting... i'm on ep2, but if things dun pick up by the next episode, i'm gonna drop this...
3) Angelique (WK) - girl brought to foreign planet where she's in training to be the next queen... helping her along, are her 9 guardians... this series is supposed to mark the 10yr anniversary of Angelique the game... not sure how they're gonna play out her relationships with the guardians, since it is based on a love-stimulation game...
bishonen-galore... only to be rivaled by Saiunkoku... i've been trying to find the previous OVAs for years... finally, something worth keeping...
4) NHK ni Yokoso (W) - hikikomori (people who shut themselves in) man who thinks that everything around him is a conspiracy, tries to break out after 3 yrs of isolation in his apartment... based on the increasing number of hikikomori, not only in japan but also in other parts of the world...
looks promising... a look into the lives of hikikomori... slight ecchi-edged, but i'm gonna ignore that... i'm interested though, to know more... i mean, how do one isolate oneself so exclusively anyway? i like being on my own, but i still want to go out with friends and haf a social life...
there's still many more summer anime, which i haven't gotten to watch yet... more on them if i ever do...
here's something else to recommend...
Zegapain is a spring anime that i started late on... currently at ep15, though i've only watched until ep7... but the story plot is intriguing (go to ANN for synopsis), and the mechanics looks good... not gundam-type mechanics, but it still looks quite cool... the story has a slight Matrix feeling to it...
for mechanic-style anime, i'm watching the english subbed version... easier to get the names correctly... do not like the literal translated chinese names for machines... it's as bad as them translating celebrity names...
anyway, for anyone interested in mechanics, Zegapain is for you...

movies movies movies...
lots of new movies for the next 2 month or so... and almost something worth watching every week...
latest movie was catching Superman Returns... i think i'm one of the few people who actually did watch the old Christopher Reeves ones, cos almost everyone i ask did not watch it before... they only know him is the superman-guy, or the superman-guy had the terrible horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed...
seriously... nobody watched the old superman movies? where, i distinctly remember, Gene Hackman, as the evil Lex Luthor? no? anyone?
*sighs* generation gap...
my dad used to have tons of movies and cartoons all recorded on video tapes... and my sis and i would spend practically the whole day watching, and rewatching, every single tape in the house, so much so that we would even memorize the script lines of everyone in the show...
too bad we dun haf the tapes now... i can only say, fungi grows...
well, i'm looking forward to watching Pirates tmr with some of the church members... been quite long since we had a movie outing...
and i'm looking forward to Keanu and Sandra's The Lakehouse, coming out next week...
den there's The Fast & Furious 3 (wohoo! RX-7!!) the week after...
so many movies... so little time...

FF:XII
for someone who hasn't own a gaming console since primary school, how i wished there was someone who can juz play the entire Final Fantasy XII for me... while i sit there and look at the story unfold before me...
heehee... i know... wishful thinking...
was watching all the FFXII movie clips on youtube.com and i gotta say it's looks really good... since i dun actually play the game, i can't say how good the storyline really is, but the ending movie did make me cry abit... but of course, i'm one who can cry at the drop of a hat... so, most other pple should not be crying... just me...
and guess wat... the voice seiyuu who does Sanji, Hirata Hiroaki, is voicing one of the main characters, Balthier, in the story...
*enters an overjoyed RR*
which fuels my wishful thinking of asking someone to play the game for me...
arghh!!!
they should have the full length movie version once everyone is done playing with it... den pple like me who are unable to own a PS2 can still enjoy the game by watching from start to finish...

end of F/SN and other ramblings
F/SN...
thot the ending for Fate/Stay Night was good... comparing to Mai Hime, who also had alot of killings and deaths, somehow, i preferred F/SN's ending... can't pinpoint why though... juz a general feeling...
there's more plot to F/SN, even though it was quite confusing... lots of references of Saber's past as King Arthur and even some of the other Servants are like pple from the past... i still find it weird that they used King Arthur as Saber's past life... even during the flashback, she was in female form, making it even weirder...
but other than that, the whole series is good... one of the better anime this season...
other ramblings...
parents and sis going to m'sia for the choir trip from wed to sun... it was a choice of going for the trip or going to shannie's wedding dinner... decided on the dinner cos the invitation was much earlier than the planning of the trip... she IS mine and joreen's da jie... and a wedding is a once in a lifetime thing... u can't juz miss a wedding of a good friend... unless u haf reasons that are in the category of "once in a lifetime"...
anyway, must rem to get cab money from my mom... cos as much as the car is still in sg, she still doesn't allow me to drive, even though i haf a wedding to attend that will probably end like late and is out of the way; and i haf to go to church on sunday which is like super inaccessible from home...
"u're still not steady... and joyce will complain if i allow u to drive within 2 months of getting ur licence..."
erm... excuse me... but can u tink of someone who can drive "very steadily" after they start driving by themselves... and maybe it's me... but with mom in the car, i haf this unconscious impulse to purposely drive more recklessly...
well, that's only during the beginning... i wun do that now... now, i must be as careful as i can... or else, who knows how long after is she going to stop grabbing her seat (really hate seeing that) in fear of being thrown out the window... she has gotta have more faith in the driver... her being paranoid will only make things worse...
so... i will claim cab fare!! even if i can only get it for one trip, most likely the trip to church...
cab fare cab fare cab fare...
finally going to haf another long leave next week... though i still haf to work on monday... not enough pple working, so Teo asked me if i can come back for a day...
sighs... that's not the bad news... the worst news is that there's a stupid mass casualty exercise next sat... and unless u're out of sg or doing nite shift, u haf to come down to lab from 12-6pm...
THAT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!
~_~.`` ~_~.`` ~_~.`` ~_~.``
idiotic idiotic IDIOTIC!!!!!!
i so DO NOT want to spend my birthday at work... of all days, it had to be next sat... when i'm having my block leave and my birthday!!!
i wonder if MC applies for that day...

Ouran High School Host Club
guess who's the latest seiyuu addition in episode 10...
Koyasu Takehito-sama!!!
voicing as Haruhi's okama (japanese 101: slang for cross-dresser) father, i recognized him the minute he came thru the apartment door...
*enters fanatic fan-girl screaming*
i'm so happy he (Koyasu-sama) is in the Host Club production!!!
^_^.``
for those that haven't seen this anime, go download it now!!! it's really really very funny... and full of bishonens and cute scenes...
must watch must watch...
the manga though, is somewhat lacking... bought the 1st book, read it, and thought the drawing was quite terrible... i'm hoping the drawing will get better as the story progress...
in any case, episode 10 is fantastic! sort of like to compensate for a not-so-interesting episode 9 last week...
highly recommended, this is one of the best spring anime of 2006...
