Attended Driving School

6/12/2012 - Thursday.

I really like this. Found it on Facebook and as usual, do not own it or it`s awesome words.

~Today was my first ever lessons on driving. Had a bad start. Yesterday night I told my mother to wake me up by 7:30a.m., set my alarm clock to ring at that time and also set the alarm on my handphone to wake me up at 7:35a.m. in case the other two decided to be retarded. Then i went to sleep at around 3:00a.m. After taking all that steps to ensure i wake up on time, I ended up waking up at 7:50a.m.. My mom overslept, the alarm clock decided to be a jerk and my phone was on silent....

 ~In 5 minutes i managed to wash my face, brush my teeth, change my clothes, pack my IC, notebook, pencils and a pen into my tiny pouch-bag, and drink milk. The van horned, and i was on time. Can you believe it? I WAS ON TIME. During normal school days i usually have around 30 minutes to get ready and somehow i always manage to run late. Time is a weird force of nature....

 ~Anyway, I was the first to be picked up, then the driver went to pick Rae(PC). The cool part about this driving center is that they have this van that picks and drops the students back home. We sat in the car for nearly one and a half hours before reaching the Driving School.(Johan driving school Penang) The driver went all around Penang to pick up another 5 students. Me and her were, like, the only two people in the van socialising. It felt weird. ._.

~I love those two Siamese Cats!!

We talked about Anime and OCs and even about Pocky. Pocky is from Japan. Here at Malaysia we have Pocky`s sister, Rocky. She had just bought a box of Rocky(Or is it Rockies? What is the plural for Rocky? I`m confused.) and was totally psyched about it. I would have been too cause it`s been ages since i ate Rocky(Rockies, whatever!) Then we talked about the Pocky games and we drifted into a topic to do with Lady and the Tramp. I personally think that one of the scenes that had made the movie famous was the time when the dogs ate spagetti and ended up sharing the same strand of spagetti.~

  ~At the school, me and PC realized that the driving school was located not more than 5 minutes away from where both of us live.... I COULD have woken up at 9:00a.m.! We met Tan MC and Neoh SY there, and the four of us sat in the same row.

~Oh. My. Gawd. Registration itself took Hell knows how many hours. By the time the Lecture(Ceramah) started, it was already around 11:00a.m. The lecture was sooo boring. The lecturer kept repeating one sentance like, 3 times. I bet almost everyone there felt like sleeping or yawned at least once. Everyone was bored. Period.

~Then we had break time. After break we had a new lecturer. The previous lecturer was a jolly fellow. Somewhat like the Good Cop in movies. This new guy. He was the Bad Cop. He came in and started rambling about how tons of accidents are caused because of tiredness and lack of concentration.(after seeing all our sleepy faces, that is. Sadly, that was the first thing he saw.) Heck! I even got spotted by him at for yawning.... ._.

~He told us how tiredness is the Ghosts doing.... That when we yawn while driving and when we lose concentration, it`s because the Ghosts are posessing us. They are controlling our minds. Then he said that we should have strong faith in God to avoid being disturbed by the Ghosts. I just nodded, like every other student in class. But in my mind i was thinking, whattttt?? Hey, buddy. Who told you ghosts are bad, huh?

~Clearly he has never watched Ghost Whisperer or Medium before. I mean, i thought Ghosts were our dead ancestors or something. Why whould they want us dead?? It just did not make sense to me. Some people just do not make sense. But no one truly believes in the same thing the same way, right? No one`s point of view of something is ever the same. So i guess maybe he could be right. Maybe in another dimention there is a world where Ghosts do kill people because they`re `evil`.

~Downloaded Sims Freeplay on my iPhone a couple of days back.  I wanted to kill the `Plant Monsters` with weed spray but i ddn`t wanna waste $$ on it so i just asked my Sims to negotiate with the plants.... clearly the plants are no democrats ._.

~This makes me wonder. Am I truly an INFP?? I did the Myers Briggs Personality Test three times. I got INFP two times and INTP one time. Could i be a bit of both? Is that possible? I read that INTP frequently second guess themselves. I do that all the time. But i also portray many of an INFP`s characteristics. Once again i`m second guessing myself....

~Back to the main topic, the lecture ended at 3:00P.M.(See? No `around` 3:00P.M. I`m actually sure for once!) The cool part about this driving center is that they have this van that picks and drops the students back home. I just got home and now, well, i`m online and blogging!! xD

Living Cartoon Girl

4/12/2012 - Tuesday.

~I joined Animax Asia Community awhile back, and recently i recieved an email from an Animax buddy. Thought I might share the links here =D Also, add me on Animax Community!! FoodFanatic

=> Anime Girl and Living Cartoon

~ found this article really interesting, and also sightly disturbing(It`s probably because i am scared of dolls ._. Result of watching Chucky.... Damn freaky movie).

~Anastasiya Shpagina (She looks like a real Barbie, right?! So awesome!! I don`t own the photo btw)



~Imagine being able to turn yourself into a real life cartoon character!!(Cosplay??) Some may regard this with a negative view. Imagine, tons of anime-looking girls everywhere xD Some might even take this as how the future generation is going to turn out. People starving themselves and spending tons of time on make-up. Yeah.
~But, truthfully, I find this girl, Anastasiya, amazing. She has the talent to transform herself to look like a cartoon character with mere make-up! When i saw her photos, it took me quite an amount of time to actually believe that she was human!And if she`s enjoying what she does, why judge her? Almost everyone is striving to reach perfection, right? Besides, my cousin(Yes, Squirrel, refering to you!!) once told me, do whatever makes you happy!! =D I hope I get to meet this person someday.... (Probability of this ever happening : 2%)

Homestuck Dedication

~HOMESTUCK DEDICATION!!!! I LOVE HOMESTUCK AND EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT YET READ HOMESTUCK, GO READ IT NOW!! GOOO!!
~Homestuck has everything from an awesome-sauce storyline to a complicated plot and amazing-fish characters!!!! And not to forget the Trolls. Yes. There are Trolls. And Ancestors. Did i forget to mention the kids? Yep, they play a game called Sburb.
~This is a drawing i did on the 30/1/2012(the date is at the bottom of the picture) It's Vriska to the left and Terezi to the right!! Yes, I drew Terezi's shoes so badly they look like they belong to Mickey Mouse >_< (My patron troll is Kanaya by the way!!)
~Yes, i know. I seriously need to improve my drawing skills *sigh* FYI, the more brighter and colourful versions of the pictures i got by playing with the hues of the picture on my phone xD
~Anyway, i'm cleaning my room so all my old drawings are gonna maybe be chucked here or in my other blog(artsy stardust) So many incompleted drawings....

My Laptop Died

30/11/2012 - Friday.
~Damn!! My laptop power cable got destroyed!! My 'lovely' dog bit it till its half >_< Since i'm using my HP for this post, it's mainly gonna have photohgraphs in it.
~Today me, PC and Rucira went to Qurensbay to watch Wreck-it Ralph. The show was just so good i couldn't help myself from making a clay model of Venellope!!!! (Bought the clay from Daiso at QB today, RM5.00) Plus, i have no laptop : tons of free time.
~will w more detailed in the next post about my trip, going to watch Life of Pi now, midnight movie ;) Will also post pics of trip and maybe painted Vanellope ^^

Too much free time

~Drew this on Dec 16 2011.... Her eyes are retarded ._.

 18/11/2012 - Wednesday.

~One can have too much free time on their hands after exams. All i`ve done the whole day was sit in front of the computer! Chatting with friends and, well, killing time.... I did do something constructive(I guess it`s constructive) by finally writing the first chapter(Erm, it`s called a Prologue, River.) of my going-to-be-story. Story Project.(Because i have not thought of a name yet) *Stretches in chair*

~Stretching always feels good! =3 My buddy linked me to this website about Kitsune`s. I think they are like, half fox, half human or something. *Actually reads contents of the website* Yeah.... still confused....

~Also found out that LADYBUGS and BEETLES are NOT THE SAME bugs. >_< Man, where have i been living all these years?? *Crawls under blanket*

~Hmmm, i googled `when is it safe to use other people`s images`, and tons of info came up. So, i`m just going to post my own crappy images from now on instead. You can`t blame me for being scared of the Copyright Police, right?? 

~Going to read Death Note, Toodles!! (Wow, i think this is one of my shortest posts so far!!*Presses ENTER for each paragraph* There you go! Looks longer now!)

Angels

~Do angels have genders??

28/11/2012 - Wednesday.

~Since almost everyone I know online is either writing a story or drawing a comic, i`ve decided to join in!(I wonder if it works that way, just simply deciding to write stories....) Anyway, for a very long time i have been fascinated by angels, so i think i`m gonna write something fiction which includes angels.

~Did some research on angels, they`re pretty interesting creatures.  

-Info about Angels => This website has some pretty cool info about angels.... As well as ghosts!! Oh gosh, i did not know there were so many kinds of angels >_< 

-9 Types of angels or Angel types => I`m guessing the hierarchy begins with Seraphim's at the top, followed by the Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and end with the Angels.... But maybe there is no hierarchy? Just classifications? I`m probably going to use hierarchy in my story, but i think i`ll only include the Seraphim's, Thrones and Angels.... All the others sound so complicated!

~Now the question on my mind is, `Do angels have genders?` Or are they androgynous? Can i just give them genders to make the story more interesting? Yeah, i`m giving them genders. I mean, how are they supposed to reproduce without a gender, right?? Unless they`re asexual or reproduce like plants or something.... Hmmm....

~Out of the topic for a moment. During my SPM exams, every time the invigilators handed out papers, i always thanked them. None ever replied. Then, yesterday, for the first time, one teacher said `You`re Welcome` and smiled at me. It made me feel really.... happy and warm inside. I don`t know why, but it just did. There`s no explanation to it. I was even shocked that she replied. I guess it`s just nice to know there are still friendly people out there. Thank you invigilator who i don`t even know the name of for making my day! ^^

Show Reviews

27/11/2012 - Tuesday.
~Best shows from the beginning of this year until November. (According to River).
 Movies:
1. The Dark Night Rises(Batman).

~I want iron man`s suit!*pouts*

I love the twist at the ending!! It was just so.... unexpected. I did feel sad when Bane died(he did die, right?) at the ending though. And i really wanted to see Joker again(he did not die, Batman did not kill him. Batman can`t kill, remember? )
2. The Avengers.
I`m on TEAM LOKI *looks around to see if any Avengers are nearby* Yeah. But seriously, the movie was great. I only didn`t fancy the part where they had one main bad guy versus like, THE AVENGERS. A whole team of smart superheroes. Yeah, that bugged me a little. They need more villans. Overall, the movie was cool. *HULK SMASH!!* 
3. Hunger Games.
I really enjoyed the movie. Made me read the book. Book was much better, naturally, but the movie was fun! I`m biased towards strong female lead characters. (You go, Katniss!!)

Animated movies:
1. Rise Of The Guardians.

~Spot the two red elves!!

 Where do i start with this one? Just, the whole movie. From start to end. It was just EPIC!! All the characters are so lovable and unique, the storyline was enjoyable and the animation I fell in love with!! The Tooth Fairy was so adorable and colourful!! Jack Frost is so care-free(Not to mention he can fly! I have a thing for guys who fly)! Then there`s the Easter Bunny and Sandman reminds me of a cuddly golden pillow! Not to forget the Russian Santa! xD I love the Moon, and they have the Moon play such a crucial role in the movie. The movie was just, amazing. I watched the movie in the cinemas at Queensbay on Saturday(24/11/2012) although i was supposed to be studying for my Chemistry exam on Monday. Totally worth it. I REGRET NOTHING!!
 2. The Lorax.
 I`m sorry, i just can`t help myself!! The Lorax is just so adorable!!!! And Once-ler!! And i like anything Dr.Seuss related, they just have so much meaning in them. Plus Dr.Seuss world is filled with life, colour and fun!! The trees are so fluffy!! 
3. Brave.
 I would have said Puss in Boots, but that movie was released last year.(I simply adore that movie because it has cats in it and the animation was awesome!) Brave shows that a girl does not always have to be prim and proper, and i like that. It goes against almost all the other Disney princesses, which is good. Not all princesses like dresses and dances.

Cartoon series:
1. My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic.

~Nothing matters more than FRIENDSHIP!!

 BRONIES UNITE!!!!!!(or in my case, `pega-sisters unite!!`) Heck! I don`t even care if this show was released in 2010, Season 3 was aired this year!! And MLP DESERVES to always be on my favourite cartoon list. Every-pony in that show is just very special. Favourite pony? Pinky Pie!! I just adore her randomness!!!!
2. Avatar : The Legend Of Korra.

~The Legend Of Awesome!!

 I`m not sure if this goes under anime, but whatever. Korra is this kick-ass girl who`s strong and cool and, well, she`s the Avatar!! And Amon makes the story interesting. With his ability to take away bending and all. Awesome bad guys always make good stories more entertaining.
3. Voltron Force. 
Yes, i know. This was released ages ago, but they remade it! Although the remakes were aired in 2010, it`s only now showing in Malaysia. Hey, you can`t blame me for Astro being slow >_< In one episode, Chip returned to his home planet, Balto. The planet is populated by ninja scientists.(Yes, they exist.) But that`s not all, they had to encounter an entire population of NINJA SCIENTIST ZOMBIES!!!! How freaking cool is that??!! Nothing beats NINJA SCIENTIST ZOMBIES. Nothing. Except maybe dancing ninja scientist zombies who sing, but i`m yet to watch such a show.

Anime series:
 1. K Project Anime.
Pretty obvious that this was going to be number one, eh? With me always ranting on about how awesome it is and all. Yeah, it is awesome. Now it`s aired until episode 8 already, and the story is heating up! Did Adolf really kill himself?? I doubt it. He probably teleported somewhere or is not affected by fire or something. Favourite character is Misaki Yata, naturally. My aunty`s favourite character is Kuroh!!(Yes, i got her hooked on K Project, which is an anime. She dislikes anime. Pretty big success for me.) She says she finds his personality very sweet and feminine-like!! Next episode (episode 9) is `Knell`!(Did someone die? Did Adolf REALLY die??)
2. No.6.
Yeah.... This was released last year. But i watched this year, so it still counts in my books!! Even after watching the entire anime, i`m still not sure if Dogkeeper is a girl or a boy.... But my senses say shes a girl, so a girl she shall be! It`s another black and white set of main characters!! xD I like the idea of a `perfect city` and all. Seems like almost all the anime`s i`ve watched this year is set in the future. Hmm....
3. Durarara!!

~Everyone wants to kill Izaya-kun!!

Fine! I give up! Not this year only, it includes all the years up to 2012, ok? Happy now? I`ve just began watching this series, and it seems interesting. My favourite characters at the moment are Celty, Izaya and Shizuo. When Shizuo gets mad at Izaya, buildings topple! I`ve heard and read many positive comments about this show too! My schoolmates who have watched it says the story has a deep meaning to it and the plot is good, because it is confusing.... Still watching this anime, but it`s very captivating!!

~Done! This is my list for this month. I`m probably going to do a list for each month. Toodles!!

~*SPM over!!!!*~

27/11/2012 - Tuesday
~The teachers collect and count the papers andddddd.... SPM`s OVER!!!! ^^ WOOHOOOOO!!!! SPM`s over for me, anyway. WISHING ALL THE REST WHO STILL HAVE PAPERS ALL THE BEST AND GOOD LUCK!!!! =D Now i can finally begin watching this list of movies, animes, cartoons and get myself updated on Homestuck!! 

~Aren`t they just so adorable?? ^^

 ~Its over. Its finally over. It`s just so hard to believe. I`m finally a free human. I can run, jump, scream, sleep the whole day, watch TV until the sofa molds its shape to my backside.... without feeling guilty!!!! I`LL NEVER HAVE TO STUDY 9 SUBJECTS AT THE SAME TIME AGAIN! EVER!
~My gosh i`ve been living in hell for the past few months. Always worrying about my studies when i`m not studying and when i`m studying i just feel bored. Heck, today my friend said even the wall is more interesting when studying! I agree 100% with her! Often i find myself staring at the wall when i`m supposed to be studying....
~Of to watch Durarara!!, toodles!! ^^

girl!!)

~*Magic*~

24/11/2012 - Saturday.

~Found this beautiful wallpaper on Google. Has a magical feel to it. ^^

  ~I realized that i realize most things when i`m using the toilet(It`s an inspirational area, no doubts about it!) Did you notice how humans classify MAGIC??  I mean, how can you classify magic when magic is everything and everywhere around us?? Why do we identify magic with the ability to control the elements or do something most cannot, like to fly or communicate with animals? Is it not silly that we do so? Is magic what we classify as something that can`t possibly be done? Or the idea of doing it is simply ludicrous?

  ~To me, the meaning of magic is, well, everything. There is magic in our ability to perceive and understand . To create and destroy. To care and to love. They say people who are ignorant and do not want to understand something refers to its occurrence as `magic`. 

  ~Such an example would be if i ask you how the liver works. It is commonly associated that an ignorant person would answer `by magic` while an intellectual would reply with scientific facts. The average human would explain it based on their understanding of it. But is understanding itself not magic? 

  ~Can we explain why we understand understanding? Of course we can, but i believe it`s still magic that plays a role in us understanding understanding. Everyone, everything, has magic, however little, in them. It`s just a matter of unlocking it.

Penang Sports Club Entrance!!

  ~A while back, after swimming at Penang Sports Club, me and my mum had a conversation. The conversation began with me asking her "What happened to the Unicorns, Fairies, Ogres and magic? Were they ever real? Did they ever exist? Or is it because we stopped believing in them that they had vanished?"

She replied "Maybe it is them who keep us as myth, thus creating an invisible barrier between humans and magic. Both exist in the same world(space) and same dimension, but are unaware of each others presence "

~I`m gonna live there someday!!

  ~Could she be true? Maybe they are afraid of us, or plainly dislike us? But what did we do wrong? It is, in written truth, that i am beginning to doubt my belief in magical creatures and magic itself that makes me fear the worst. I used to BELIEVE in evil fairies and good pixies, unicorns that healed and even in Peter Pans

existence, the boy who could fly and be a child forever.

  ~That was when i thought all cartoons were real and not drawn. One of my earliest childhood ambitions was to become someone who filmed cartoon characters in action! Mainly the The Powerpuff Girls

(one of my favourite cartoons, spent hours of my life watching it) Then i learned that they were drawn by artists and i would never get to meet them in person.... Life is filled with disappointments *sigh*

  ~Hm, i went off topic. I still have two more exam papers to sit for (Chemistry and Biology), so i shall end this post here. Thanks for reading!! =)

~*Who is Adolf??*~

                                                  21/11/2012 - Wednesday.

Shiro, don`t you look like Weismann??

Weismann got shrank.

~I don`t know if anyone has realized this, but could Yashiro Isana be, could Shiro be.... COULD ADOLF K. WEISMANN BE SHIRO`S FATHER???? It`s just a random theory i came up with when chatting with Nix. Just think about it, Shiro means white in Japanese and Weiss means white in German(i think)!! 

~They both also have silver-white hair. But i don`t think Weismann looks or is old enough to be Shiro`s dad.... I`m also pretty sure a father wouldn`t kick his son out of a flying blimp, but i don`t know what sadistic people are really like, so, yeah, there`s a possibility. Maybe they`re like, distant relatives or something. What was Shiro doing on Weismann`s blimp anyway?? O.o

~Anyway, i told this theory to PC, and she said that it`s impossible. Mainly because Shiro`s name was given to him by Neko, his pet cat turned human.(She`s a Strain.). So, his name and Weismann`s name really have no connection??(And the hair, the hair!!) Ok, FINE!! They`re not related and i don`t know what Shiro was doing in Weismann`s blimp we`ll find out on the next episode.... EPISODE 8, "KINDLING"

~*White Concrete World Below*~

Saturday - 17/11/2012.
WHITE CONCRETE WORLD BELOW.
~
The curtains are dancing to the song of the wind.
The wind which is warm but not dry
and yet not humid enough to make you sweat.
Seven children are calling, from outside of your window,
they are laughing while playing with a ball
should you go? should you join them?
You wave back at them, a signal to wait for your arrival
and you run down the stairs and out the blue door
to the white concrete world below.
~
They play in an alley, surrounded by shop houses and buildings
making the streets and lanes their ground.
The parks are all destroyed and the grass all gone
but still a child`s will to play is strong.
They spot you and throw you the red rubber ball, as large as a basketball hoop.
Now you`re `it`.
they scatter while laughing and you giggle while chasing
in the white concrete world below.
~
After so much running, chasing, screaming and panting
You all settle by the sidewalk of a familiar street.
Sharing stories and jokes never cease to lose its fun
and with friends time always seems to run.
A lady comes out of her shop, a grocery shop.
All of you surround her, and together you all greet her.
This causes her to grin, and she gives each of you a fizzy drink.
"My favourite!" you exclaim, as she hands you a Coke,
and you smile a thanks with a mouth filled with crooked teeth.
All this happening in the white concrete world below.
~
It`s getting dark, and your buddies begin to yawn
you know it`s time to go.
You do not need a clock, or even a watch
to tell you its well past seven.
You say your goodbyes with teases and smiles
and back to your home you run
leaving the white concrete world below.
 ~
At home, it is different. The feeling is different. Life is different.
The atmosphere turns from joy to sorrow.
No one takes notice of your return
and you see your dying mother beside the fire
just where you had left her.
Your father is still at work, he only comes home well past midnight.
and this causes you to miss the white concrete world below.
~
Silently you sigh, and make yourself some porridge, 
and some for your mother too.
You stroke the fire, to keep her weak body warm,
and lovingly feed her the bowl of goo.
She does not realize what goes around her, but that`s fine.
you`re used to it, she`s been this way ever since you dare to remember.
Later, you clean her, and kiss her, and lay on her small bed beside her.
Then you stroke her scarce brown hair and tell her
you tell her a tale, a story.
Which involves the white concrete world below.
~
You have no books of fairy tales, you use your own imagination.
You tell her a story of two mouse brothers, who defeated a rat as big as a cat
and slayed a dog that ate their supper.
A story set in the town you so dearly know.
But she does not react, she does not ponder.
Then you tell her a joke, in hopes that she`ll at least snicker
But when you look into her eyes, their as dead as a drawer.
So you start to sob, then you cry, followed by a wail
even if you well know no self pity would return her.
Then you realize how ridiculous you`re behaving and calm yourself, 
away from the concrete world below.
 ~
~Eventually your father returns home 
and looks at your mother limp on the bed.
then at you who is sitting beside her, 
you are staring out of the window.
Without a word he bows his head in frustration
and heads to his room for a nap.
You notice his presence, but do not greet him
you just wonder to yourself
"How long till he packs up and decides to abandon you?"
and you crawl beside your mother
and let dreams and darkness engulf you.
Oh! How you miss the white concrete world below.
