Singapore
singapore is a fine city
singapore is in recession
singapore is boring
singapore is a fine country
singapore is a developed country
singapore is part of china
singapore is magazine
-- 'Country Facts according to Google'


See, we have a thunderstruck permanently vomiting mutant mascot instead.

I facepalm, I really do. WTH does it mean to be a magazine?

Here, more crap!crack!Hetalia fic.

Oh, China. Did you really want to know? )

And now I go off to have gastric, cramps, and to hide in a dark hole someplace underground until my brains finally burst and dribble out from my ears from cramming. Or until my finals are over, whichever happens first. =_=
._.
So I was at the LC Kino the other day with a friend when I spotted this anthology.

[info]tokei: SO PRETTY! LOOK LOOK LOOK!
Friend: *picks up* *reads out loud*


[info]tokei: %^*^^*$%$^%*&&^ WHY IS THAT THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE WHY. D< OTL

And now have Hetalia crap!crack!fic.

Japan proves his point. )

And apparently my parents have decided to participate in Earth Hour on their own accord. ._.

EDIT: Earth Hour is over! I spent it reading by the light of the camping lamp my mother had bought earlier. It turned out to be useful for something after all! :D Am thinking about buying another to put in my room. It is so small. So cute. And it is by Energizer, which always reminds me of that horrendously pink bunny whizzing by at high speed while furiously drumming its little life away.

Brain = Dead. Again.

Food for thought:
- How to Fly
- How to draw an egg
- Five monkeys in a cage


Random things that horrified me:
- And that's why. Just looking at the photos made my arteries go CLANGCLANGCLANG EMERGENCY EMERGENCY.

- Princess Diana shoujo manga, it actually exists. *flees from Prince Charles' psycho!eyes*

- Latest KHR chapter spoilers: Prince Charming stereotype is now CANON WTF


My life and fandom, we shall never part!
- Network Analysis Qn: Which activities should the manager crash to reduce the overall project completion time?


Ans: やらないか? XD


- "England is drinking far too much, England has an alcohol problem." Yes, yes he does.

So my Lambo gave me this. )

Oh yesterday came suddenly

White Day was a big blur to me, now that I think about it. ._.

What little I can remember:
Court Open House:
- Going through metal detectors and security checks
- Impressive-looking rooms
- Nice view from the top
- The unveiling of my monument XD
- Someone threatening to push someone else down the escalator (suspect the two parties involved were [info]half_sleeping and [info]thelovemafia, only I forgot who was doing the threatening)
- Being ambushed for a hug and a choke/strangle-hold, followed by profuse disowning of people

Lunch:
- Pretty beer bottles
- Metaphors flying about metaphorically
- [info]half_sleeping being slightly traumatized \o/
- Ice-cream!

Watchmen:
- A lot of talking
- Quite a bit of action scenes, actually, contrary to what a friend's friend said. But I can understand how a person could fall asleep during it what with it being 2.5 HOURS LONG.
- Ooh, blood.
- Ooh, violence.
- Flamin' hormones
- Big blue glowing nekkid men
- A quote from today's papers: 'If I were all-powerful I would have made it a lot bigger.'
- I didn't like the fact that that guy had to die in the end too. It just didn't seem fair somehow. He was so kick-ass! D:
- No Easter egg D:
- 2.5 HOURS D<

Unveiling of monument, in pictures.
Much better than a roll of aluminum foil ♥ )

And a random photo taken this morning:

A rare sight, with the unpredictable weather we've been having lately.

NICE WEATHER.

WT NOOOOO
Three days of rain, yay! \^o^/

Q: You know what's the one good thing about being forced to study for mocks?
A: Insommia gets cleared up like WHOA.
Q: You know what's one of the many bad effects of being forced to study?
A: Getting nightmares of a lecturer gleefully telling you that "YOUR EXAM APPLICATION WAS REJECTED!!!" and that it's too late to apply again. And this is all on the day of the exam itself.

...I woke up screaming. =_=;;

And then I thought, I really don't want to get out of bed. )

And joining Hibarik Youya, Rokudo Mururo. XD
Sleep little one
So I was reading 'The Villain's Guide to Better Living' (the book for dastardly evil-doers everywhere! :D) when this page caught my eye and made me think, 'I should totally show this to my Human Resources Management lecturer.' XD

On writing your resume )

So now you know what all those terms REALLY mean. XD

This is truly a day for fandom~ ♥

Am currently laughing my ass off at Hetalia, (official site here) because:
i. Russia is topping the world and loving it
ii. Anerica has laid claim on ownership of the Internet
iii. Southern Italy and France are waging the most epic and graphic foodfight EVER
iv. I am apparently Lithuania WHY.
But, perhaps it is because of this sort of personality that he holds the infamous record of having the highest suicide rate of the world. ToT

I have always liked the Vocaloid series. The list of Vocaloid YouTubes in my bookmarks is almost as long as the list for Reborn videos. Which actually says quite a lot about the insane amount of time I spend procrastinating on the Net.

Then I was introduced to the video below, which according to the original source was created and released in honor of the Vocaloid Meiko's birthday.



(Original Nico video here.)

I am now officially in ♥. :D

The animation! The amount of effort it must have taken to do this frame by frame! It-it has an actual video display in the background, and moving strobe and overhead lights that change colors!

Not to mention the number of times the creator must have watched the orginal video to get all the movements down exactly! (The uniforms in the original video look a lot like Kokuyo's. This makes me very glad that Chrome does not have pink frilly flouncy petticoats under her skirt. =_=)

Taking all of the above into consideration, I also find it amazing that someone actually went to the trouble of translating the original song from Mandarin into Japanese, and then using the software to tune and synthesize it to make it sound so natural. At the risk of getting bashed by Wang Xin Ling (王心凌) fans, I must say that this Vocaloid version far outshines the original video. And singer. It is very sad when a human flesh and blood idol gets upstaged by a voice synthesis software.

Most of all, THE ANIMATION. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EVERYTHING. MOVES. The background, the hair and accessories of each Vocaloid, the camera, bloody hell, even Meiko's BOOBS bounce a little. (No, I'm serious, look closely. And never ask why I noticed, I just did.) Do you have any idea how much time and tweaking the creator must have taken and done to add in all those little details?

Being all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aside, I laugh at how manly Kaito has become. XD And that he has, uhm, blue fingernails. O_O



But despite this fact, the poor man only gets less than five seconds of screen time.

Even Miku gets included in the ending group shot, whereas Kaito...



...Is labeled as absent and has his photo added in as an afterthought. XD Poor guy!

I JUST. CANNOT. STOP. WATCHING.


Can't remember if I've plugged this before, but have another awesome Vocaloid video for the road.



CHIBIS. And again I cannot stop watching! ♥♥♥


I am supposed to be STUDYING. For next week. Yet I am very, very tempted to join my friend in her holiday mood.

I AM SO DEAD AHAHAHAHAHA.

Strange dialogue and a meme

My classmates have this strange ability to make me speechless sometimes.

In relation to a certain day )


Of furniture and life )

I swear, I cannot make any of this up. orz

Also, I sort of expected this, even if the movie isn't showing over here yet. XD

I do stupid things 34% of the time )

So how did you do?

Of shouting men and stomach problems

Remember 218's "Next time, the truth becomes clear even further?"

I did not think for a moment that it meant "GUESS WHO'S BACK?".

Observations on KHR chapt219:
- Re: Chapter cover: I kind of expected a completely paperless world ten years into the future, especially since this is the Reborn! universe we're talking about. Now I realize this is to be said in much the same way as people ten years ago expected us to be living on the moon by now.

The old school headphones! That cassette tape in the corner! The many vials of eyedrops scattered around him! Irie is clearly an old soul in a uke young body.

- "Normally everything I do is under 24-hour surveillance by my subordinates and the cameras which transmit directly to Byakuran-sama."
Meaning that the Millefiore never really trusted him from the very beginning? No wonder Irie had to become an Oscar-winning actor.

On another note, this is most probably one of the reasons why Byakuran looks so amused all the time. "Silly Shou-chan, you should know by now that condensation doesn't work on the cameras in the showers."

- I was wondering why everyone hadn't been released from the giant capsule since Irie declared himself an ally, then I realized this was a smart move on Irie's part. With everyone being understandably not in the best of moods at the moment, it would have been best to keep all of them separated for the time being.

Besides, being half-throttled and out-shouted by Tsuna of all people is enough to make one go ._. let alone releasing everyone else to join in. On the other hand, it's a refreshing change to see Tsuna be righteously furious for once.

- "UUUUUU~~~~ I'VE ALREADY DONE MY BEST TO PLAN IT ALL!"
Poor Shou-chan! That isn't just bad temper, Spanner, it's frustration and stomach problems finally getting the best of the man. "Do you have any idea how stressful it is to be watched 24/7?! I have absolutely no privacy whatsoever, I have countless stomach ulcers from the stress of having to pretend all the time while worrying about being exposed any minute, and now that I can finally relax a little and stop acting all of you come and yell at me for telling you the truth, which was what you wanted in the first place. AAARRRGGGHHH!"

- Seeing as how TYL!Reborn was excluded from the plan, it looks like it's true that Reborn is dead by then. T_T

- Byakuan = Next Big ThingDictator. So shouldn't it be 'ominous clouds of doom and destruction' and not 'shining rays of the sun' screen tone in his background, Amano-sensei?

...Oh, you were saving those for the last two pages.

- Laughing over the Varia's crest and pro-IX anti-X flags. XD

Wait, so Levi made the flags? I cannot imagine that man with a sewing machine, I just can't. I'd have thought that was more of Lussuria's thing.

- Am still very pointedly NOT looking at Levi and Lussuria. D: Seeing a bigger version of this spread now has made me realize that I know a guy who can cosplay TYL!Lussuria perfectly. URK. orz And all of them still look like they're going to leap heroically off the balcony once they're done posing for the spread.

"It's about time we get fucking started!"
Yes, I should think so too, after waiting around for 82 chapters.

So does this mean BIG BAD Varia VS Millefiore battle coming up next? *flails with excitement and anticipation* :D :D Long, drawn out battles by seemingly undefeatable foes are common in shounen manga, but let us hope that there will be no more of this 'KO by unexpected architecture' business, yes?

KHR 218 >>>>>>> FANDOM BRAIN

Everyone was PWNED. So. Badly.

Observations of KHR 218
- For some reason, I'm relieved that Spanner's parachutes survived Genkishi.

- So Genkishi was telling the truth after all, when he said that his illusions were tied to the life force of Tsuna's family. This is based on page 4 when Gokudera mumbles "What a nightmare, strangling the Tenth's throat" when waking up.

- MR. YAMAMOTO TAKESHI. You have been unconscious for eighteen chapters now. And now Amano-sensei decides to dose you with sleeping gas on top of having you slam into a wall. Clearly she likes you better KO'ed.

- I like that full-frontal shot of Kusakabe's face on page 5. He looks so... serious. It's the first time we actually get to see him properly, instead of just a side-profile when he's reporting to Hibari. Lal, on the other hand, looks squashed in the last panel.

- Reborn disagreeing with Irie on a part of his explanation has me wondering just how much of what Irie said was true and how much wasn't. Who knows what now?

- Irie: "I thought I'd try it out just once." Uhm, try what? Being the big bad intellectual villain behind the scenes?

- The last spread of Irie, with his mused-up hair and "That was exhausting, I'm so glad it's over" expression. Just how many "Blood Peppers" T-shirts does the man own, and doesn't he ever get tired of them?

And to commemorate me jumping on the FF VII: Crisis Core bandwagon really, REALLY late:


From [info]ansibs. I ♥ the dancing stick figures more than the actual characters. XD

I have half-mock exams coming up in about two weeks time. My fandoms are going to ruin me, I just know it. T_T

Where's my fandom?

What my icon says. orz



Original Thud! "Where's my cow?" version:

Where's my cow?
Is that my cow?
It goes "Baa!"
It is a sheep!
That's not my cow!

Where's my cow?
Is that my cow?
It goes "Neigh!"
It is a horse!
That's not my cow!

Where's my cow?
Is that my cow?
It goes "Hruuugh!"
It is a hippopotamus!
That's not my cow!

Where's my cow?
Is that my cow?
It goes "Mooooo!"
Yes, that is my cow!
Hooray, hooray,
it's a wonderful day,
for I have found my cow!

Vongola Version )

Gokudera Version )

Varia version )

I could do these all day, but I won't.

Anime episodes this week were absolute ♥. Jigoku Shojou, KHR, even Glass Mask and Skip Beat! :D

Oh those eyes, those ROFL eyes~ )

BTW, House Bunny is slightly, ever so slightly > Max Payne. I almost slept through all the excessive slow motion used in the latter. -_- The CG was really pretty though.
