El Blog A La Tiffany

Instead of blogging about recent incidents, which I don't want to be reminded of, I am going to write a detailed analysis on GIRL'S DATING SIMS. >=)

Anyway, my dataing sim 'career' started with this one game on Gameboy Advance, I forgot the name, but it really sucked me in, now I'm addicted to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 2nd Season (which is the sequel to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love, which I didn't really play because none of the guys really attracted me, lol) on DS. Oh the joy of having an R4 and playing all these random games that I would never buy. Coincidentally, I am also play Otometeki Koi Kakumei * Love Revo!! which is about 'you' who, as a kid, was really good looking and won all these beauty contests but due to an unhealthy obsession with sweets, you now weight over 100kg and moves into an apartment complex where the 'princes' of the school lives (also your oniichan is really hot and rumours have it that after you finish the game you can date him for some incest action... although other rumours suggest that he is in fact not your blood sibling but merely someone who you've called oniichan because you've been with him since small or something, but then no one is really sure because, well, the game is in Japanese, lol). I am also eagerly awaiting another coming up title called 'Dual Love', apparently the art was by the same person as popular shojo series HanaKimi or something. Anyway, my recent addiction to Tokimeki 2 resulted me in playing from 10pm to 11am STRAIGHT without any sleep and this inner guilt in which my brain accused me of obsessing over a dating sim...

Anyway, this game is in fact, so good, it is the first ever game that made me actually FEEL GUILTY about cheating on the guy in which I like. I don't know what makes this game so realistic, perhaps the hot voice acting, or the way the guys blushes, but it really made my weak overweight otaku heart 'tokidoki'. I never really got into Tokimeki 1 because the guys weren't really that hot and, err, it was all Japanese, but after playing other Jap games (because I no longer have the patience to wait 2 years for an english release, if it ever will be released), my comprehension of Japanese is fortunately better to the degree that I can understand the basics of the game now. Rest assured that now that I have played this game with its perfect anime bishis, I will never be satisfied with actually having a real boyfriend person thing. I am satisfied with forever drowning in this series (if, and I hope there will be, future installments).

In analysis of girl's dating sims, I have realised that guys are split into categories, where guys of each categories usually appear in each game, these are:

1. The Bishi All-Rounder: Yes, the Bishi, he is the most popular guy in school, girls swoon over his presence, although charming, he's usually pretty cold and distance when you first meet him, however, as you guys warm up, he'll become the sweetest cutest guy you can have (especially when he blushes x3).
Appearance - Well... he's a bishi, usually will sport a blonde longish (still short, but long-short, if you get what I mean, like their har is short but will swish and float when there is wind around xD)
At School - He is usually elite both academically and sports-wise, although not right at the peak (that's where the other categories come from).
Occupation/Clubs - He can range from a model for a magazine to hospitality industries, such as a waiter (a CHARMING waiter, where females customers swoon at their presence).
Comments - At first I don't really aim for the bishis, they're not really my type (because I don't really like those charming-all-the-ladies type), but then they totally charmed the pants off me when I got to know them better...

2. The Nerd: My most hated category, and I almost can never see anything attractive about those, totally not my type of guy, but that's just me. Usually a pretty serious type of guy, CAN have short moments where they are sorta hot, but only little moments.
Appearance - GLASSES GLASSES GLASSES is all I have to say. He also sports short, good-boy haircuts with a part or a fring, hmm, sorta like Trunks-hair I guess, but Trunks isn't a nerd. xD
At School - Always right at the top of the academic chart, on a side note, you'll also need pretty high marks if there is any chance he would be interested in you, pretty shallow if you ask me. Also he doesn't appear in sporting events such as the Sports Festival or whatever.
Occupation/Clubs - He usually doesn't have a part-time job (probably because it'll interupt with his studies or something) and spends the afternoon going to jukus (tutoring classes or whatever). Club-wise, if in any club, he would probably be with the students representatives, cuz he's a nerd xD.
Comments - No comments, I hate nerds, they become tedious when you try to get the ending for every guy and you have to date him to get his ending, yuck. Well, actually I haven't tried it, maybe I'll give him a go... after I finish with the other guys xD.

The Sports Guy: The range for this category is pretty wide actually, I've seen from Honey-Senpai type of cute sporting geniuses to Mori-Senpai type of the gentle giant. xD
Appearance - As mentioned before, he ranges, but I guess the typical one would have black/navy hair, a bandaid on his cheek and is constantly seen with a sporting equipment, like a basketball.
At School - Obviously good at sports, but would almost always suck academically.
Occupation/Clubs - Well, he's probably part of a sports club (duh), or he's working somewhere manly, like an oil-inserter-service-person... you know, at a petrol station, where they give you gas, in Japan.
Comments - Hmm... Usually, I'm pretty sucker for sporting types, but none of them really left an impression on me.

The Cute Kohai: For all of you who are in love with younger guys, this is for you. He usually won't come in until you are in second year (he IS a kohai afterall), so you'll have one year of nothing if your only aim is him.
Appearance - Cute. Sometimes, he can be a little cheeky, really, a little brother type. :) Other female students tend to mother over him a lot...
At School - Like the Bishi, he is also usually elite both academically and sports-wise, although not right at the peak.
Occupation/Clubs - Hmm, no fixed club or job really, but probably not in a club where there's already a guy there xD. I've also seen him in the gardening club... -__-
Comments - Although, I like Teppei, which is besides the point, I find the cute kohai second worst (after the nerd), I'm just not really into little brother types... probably because I have one xD On a side note, there was this one cute kohai which at first I thought, hey! his voice sounds sorta Teppei-like! On closer inspection, he had a mole under the corner of his lips exactly where Teppei also has a mole!!! I don't know if this is a mere coincident... *squints eyes in suspicion*

The Bad-Ass: Oh~ My favourite!! <3 I really can't resist their bad-ass charm x3 Most likely THERE WILL BE A FIGHT SCENE between him and ugly goons, haha, oh, thinking about it turns me on ;).
Appearance - HOT!!! Well, that's just my opinion. But most likely he'll have dyed hair (purple/red streaks/blonde/brown/whatever) cut in the most fashionable/hot way, spikes/long fringes brushed to the side/WHATEVER!! <3
At School - Obviously at the bottom of the academic rank... But I still love him.
Occupation/Clubs - Usually none, sometimes you can hardly even find him at school... Recently I've seen him as a musician, like in a guitar with a band working at a CD store... I guess they're trying to soften his image and give him some 'good qualities' (although I loved him even when he had no purpose in life or society :))
Comments - w00t!! LOVE! But he doesn't usually appear at the beginning of the game, so you'll have to be patient until he appears.

The Gaijin: Yes, there are usually gaijins in dating sims. xD He is usually eccentric and a little (well, actually, VERY) flirtatious. Unfortunately, he also always speak in Kansai-ben (don't ask me why, I mean, it awould already be difficult for the gaijin to speak in Japanese, let alone Kansai-ben. But then they do tend to make 'people who are different' speak in Kansai-ben xDDD)
Appearance - Has shiny blonde hair, the more eccentric ones would have long flowing blond hair with several tiny braids in it... -_- Also has blue eyes...
At School - No idea, LOL.
Occupation/Clubs - He usually participate in clubs (although according to sources, university clubs don't let exchange students join clubs because they're not going to be there for the whole uni years). He can sometimes be found in the art club, where he'll ask you to model for him, cuz you're 'meccha kawaii' xDDD
Comment - MEH!!! Don't like gaijins, if I liked gaijins I would've played games like Miami Nights: Singles in the City, LOL.

The Hot Teacher: Yes, you heard right, the teacher is almost always dateable. ;) He ranges a lot in my opinion, his personality can range from strict to clumsy/cute.
Appearance - Well, he's 'proper', I don't know, sometimes, he sports a Kyoya (from Ouran) look, sometimes, a Ned Flanders green jumper...
At School - Err, he's the teacher... In Tokimeki 2, he's also a genius who has 200IQ and did research in USA at the age of 13 xDDD
Occupation/Clubs - He is definitely one of the 'komon' (advisors) of a certain club, I've seen him in the band and the altheletic club (where he showed off his stunning high jumps of grace under the sunset LOL)
Comments - You can't ask him out on dates, excursions are sort of like you guy's form of dates xDDD Makes excursions out into one akward activity (luckily there aren't any more excursions now that I'm in uni, lol) If he likes you enough, he will ask you out one-on-one ;) Umm, I really hated the teacher from Tokimeki 1, but I was totally in love with the teacher in Tokimeki 2, he's sooooooooo cute with his absent-minded-ness. x3

...I suddenly can't be bothered continuing because I'm going back to play the game now.

1st Day in Japan

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:02:19 +0000

OMG! The rumours were true! The cakes in Japan ARE super nice!!! As you may all know, I don't really have much of a sweet tooth, most of the food I normally crave are either meat or chips, so I've never been too keen on cakes and stuff. BUT IT'S SO NICE HERE!!! Actually, I got it in the first place cuz I was like 'Since I'm in Japan, I'll get a cake, just like in animes, with an ichigo on top! ^__^' kind of mood. But the whipped cream, so light and fluffy, even the strawberrys are so juicy and sweet. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Anyway, about not cake stuff. Came to Kansai, met 5 other boobooskiers and went to Shinsaibashi. Unlike Yan said, I didn't see any random guys picking up girls, but that might be because it was so crowded with people. Had dinner with bbs ppls, and me, being a stingy bastard, ordered a 650yen thing with no drinks cuz I wanna save money. And this guy, he orders NO LESS THAN 4 whiskys and in the end we divided the bill cuz everyone ate everyone's stuff. Although that guy paid more, I still ended up paying 1000yen, NOT HAPPY :(

Then separated from the group with this one guy to go to arcades.... NoooOOOoooOOOooo!!! So many UFO's!!!!!!!!! Ended up watching the guy play taiko no tatsujin and wasting 400yen on an impossible doll. xD

Then we bought cake and cuz SOMEONE (ie the guy) is a dumbass, we missed the last train and had to walk home from one station before. Osaka at night is so quiet... So peaceful. Normally, I'd be pretty scared walking around in the night, but it was peaceful and nice... and that guy was a karate black belt xDDD ANYWAY, my cake toppled over :( But it was still cold cuz they gave me this sorta ice pack thing, how nice. :)

ANYWAY, totally NOT looking forward to more socialising tomorrow. Today was already like turned onto silent mode... Forcing myself to be social is really suffocating me. T___T And it's only day one...

Today

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 12:11:50 +0000

Today, I made this:

Yay Mario! I actually took apart a brand new pikachu keyring to get the keyring bit xD Oh well, the pikachu looked pirated anyways, lol.

Speaking of Mario, I bought Mario Party recently and I keep losing to my brother!!! And it's ALL luck factors too!! I beat him in (most) minigames!!! LAAAAAAAAAME~ DAMN RACE TO GETTING MOST STARS!!! SO I MADE A REAL ONE MYSELF!

Random Crap

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 00:56:02 +0000

As Su requested, here's the first felt anima I made yesterday: a black cat

Which is next to my black mouse, how ironic.

Anyway, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, took me one afternoon only. Now I'm thinking of tying a ribbon on it... and using it as my pin cushion. OH YEAH! That reminds me, I dropped a needle next to my bed yesterday... T____T I'd better find it before it finds me... :|

Errrgh, Blogging After Like 3 Months... About Stuff From 2 Months Ago

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 02:08:17 +0000

Haha, you know, I was blogging about SMASH (ages ago), then I kinda stopped and saved it to my email and was sorta blogging in bits, but I'm up to that stage where I can remember anything anymore. Anyway, so HERE'S MY POST ABOUT SMASH!!! (Even though Animania is just over, lol)

ZOMG!! Can't believe stall held at SMASH was actually a success... xD It was only because everyone else were real artists and selling emo stuff like artists sell and we sorta had the monopoly on cute stuff, lol. I'm kinda getting these vibes from other artists like 'she's not even selling real art, she's just selling what people want to buy... she's such a sellout... etc.' I don't want to sound like an accounting nerd but I actually enjoyed sitting there selling stuff more than actually participating in other events at SMASH. xD When I wasn't at the stall, I was thinking about it, thinking about what kind of people are coming in to buy stuff, whether anything was being bought etc. People/consumer watching is actually fun! I even spotted a few bogans!!! Didn't even know bogans liked anime. xD

Customers I liked getting:
- Li'l kids, namely li'l boys, not that I'm a pedophile... *shifts eyes*
- Basically anyone out of the target range of 12-25 year old girls, it was just a nice surprise to get other people buying stuff. xD (Although I'm still happy that 12-25 year old girls bought stuff)

Comments (not directed at me but was talking about the stall) I liked getting:
- 'OMG! I spent like most money at this stall definitely!' - 12-14 year old girl
- 'Aww, they're sold out!' - 14-16 year old girl with bunch of friends she bought with her
- *Two chicks half fighting over Su's handmade bookmarks* Me: I'm sorry, she just bought the last one xDDD
Things I enjoyed about sitting there on my ass all day long:
- Sitting on my ass all day long
- People watching (namely hot cosplayers xD)
- Emitting buy-my-stuff-alpha-waves
- Telling Dennis that he can't afford any of the stuff on our table (with $1... nice try LOSER!)
- Seeing people kinda hover around the table then leave then come crawling back, nyuk nyuk nyuk.
- Having people bring their group of friends back (GIMME MONEY~! lol)
- Having people go 'I want this, this, this... oh umm, and this, oh this one too... etc.' LOL
- Selling random posters that I wasn't actually gonna sell (didn't think of selling them at all, lol)

Things I DID NOT like people doing:
- STUPID FOBS taking pictures of my tediously stuck up (well not really, but ripping off masking tape was a pain, lol) shrine behind me without even asking 'Hey, artist-sama, your shrine is so mega 1337! I know I'm a n00best and undeserving, but can I please have the honour of taking a picture of your beautiful honourable shrine?' Well, I guess just a 'Can I please take a picture of your shrine?' would do, lol. But then my bro kinda reminded me of how this was the same as me taking pictures of the TV screen with the picture of our faces on a rollercoaster...
- Dennis coming over to pick up Su, Miyu and Larlyn with ONE BUCK. How can someone expect to pick up chicks with one dollar in their pockets. -__- I was sorta half relying on him trying to impress Su to sell the leftover stuff, lol.

Pros about sitting next to Miyu:
- Leeching off her people traffic!
- Gave me something to do when no one's buying stuff from me.

Cons about sitting next to Miyu:
- I get crowds of people trying to get at her table and not really looking at my stuff and blocking other people from checking out my stuff. T___T

Thanks to people who looked after my stall, and, randomly, Miyu's stall. xDDD And thanks to Wira for googling where Officeworks was during her work time, lol. Now, I'm going to invest my retained earnings into a badge machine capital fund. :D

I would also like to post some photos of SMASH... EXCEPT the person who was supposed to be taking pictures sent me a whole bunch of blurry pictures and pictures of Takoyaki signs and bottled water, *cough*nina*cough*.

PS. Is currently reading forums about Naruto game on Wii and the largest thread with about 158 replies is an argument about whether Saukura (Suckera, haha) SUCKS. I have to admit, she does suck... SO WHAT if she has better chakra control over Naruto and Sasuke??? I haven't even seen it utilised (before shippuden)!!! Nah, Sakura, until Shippuden was a complete waste of space. GO TEMARI! :)
PPS. Funny quote from forum: I use wikipedia, but... it once claimed that "your mom" was a very popular ninja manga in Japan.
LOLLERSKATES!!!

I nearly DIED (again)

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:17:28 +0000

OMG!!! I nearly DIED today!!! I was taking a shower (as usual), then I bent down to get the shampoo, and I suddenly got this painful cramp in my lower back (no, it was ABOVE the ass). It was so sudden and painful that I nearly bashed my head against the glass!! I must say, I used to do sports a lot (USED TO is the keyword here), namely swimming and badminton, but NOT ONCE EVER, have I gotten a muscle cramp doing sports, although I see a lot of people get it. I have only ever gotten cramps TWICE in my life, and neither of them involved sports. Once was the shower time that I just mentioned, and the other time, I was sleeping... -____- So the only times I've gotten muscle cramps were when I was sleeping and taking a shower, hmm... Both my parents concluded that it was because I've been sitting in the beanbag for too long, ahh... things parents make up to get you to stop playing video games... ANYWAY, I think it's because I didn't do any warming up exercises before taking a shower and sleeping. :| Yes, that must be it.

In other news, today, I went with my bro to get his MRI scan... I mean X-Ray (for his teeth), and I was playing pokemon in the waiting room (as usual), then there were these asian kids (2 brothers, both primary school, I'm guessing) who started watching me, and they started talking to me and playing their OWN pokemon and asking me stuff:
Li'l Bro: Where are you up to? I'm up to the electric gym.
Me: ...I've finished.
Big Bro: I did the rare candy cheat and I got a level 99 piplup. Wanna vs??
Me: ...No.
Li'l Bro: Can you help me get into the electric gym??
ETC ETC.
When they left, my dad's like 'You DO know that you're a university student and they're in primary school...?' SHUT UP!!! It's not my fault random kids always talk to me because I have a spastic immature face!!

In other OTHER news, I was THIS CLOSE --> |-|
from getting a Wii today. T________T STUPID BIG W ran out of stock (apparently all the Big W's in Sydney are out of Wiis) Just when I managed to freaking convince my dad to get me one!!! THAT'S IT!!! I'm gonna go get one at JB Hifi tomorrow. xDDD I just hope my dad doesn't change his mind tomorrow, lol. Ahh, nothing like playing on the guilt of a parent leaving a child alone for 10 days to guilt trip them into buying a Wii... :)

PS I've been playing pokemon and I randomly had this image of EXTREME otaku guys having a conversation comparing the size of their 'pokeballs' xDDD
Otaku A: I got great balls ;)
Otaku B: Oh yeh? Well, my ultra balls are better AND bigger than your great balls!
Otaku C: Y'all suck! I've got MASTER BALLS!!
xDDD Yes, I'm sad. I've been playing too much pokemon and reading Shounan Junai Gumi (which Shan lent me and is a very 'guy' manga)

burakon

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 09:03:45 +0000

Hello~ Blog where I can say what I want!!! Recently (mainly due to pre-exam procrastination), I joined mixi, which is like a Japanese version of Facebook/myspace etc. I sound like a phoney sissy in my Japanese blog entry!!! ARGH!! It's mainly due to the fact that I can't express myself in Japanese very well, everything I've learnt in Japanese up until now has taught me to talk in a nice, lady-like fashion.THAT'S SO NOT ME!!! T____T But I find it ironic how people say that when they meet people online, they can really be themselves and not phoney, and people don't judge you according to your appearance and stuff, so meeting people online lets you meet people heart to heart. IT'S FALSE!!! I find it so much more easier to be phoney online instead of talking to someone face to face. The point is: YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE ONLINE!!

This takes me back to a question Carrie asked me about The Heartbreaks and that temporary moment of procrastination during the HSC: 'Why do chicks come to you when you call yourself the Heartbreakers???' Ahh, I've waited for someone to ask me that since I decided on the name Heartbreakers... Delving into the female psychology, girls just can't resist the bad-guy-who's-nice-underneathe. They can't help but hold the stupid hope that these bad guys would change their ways for them. THAT, and also for the fact that I had a hot avatar. ;)

Anyway, back to mixi. There's this guy who was Yan's mixi buddy and decided to comment on my blog because he wants to meed foreign friends. I feel obliged to reply to the comments. ANYWAY, ZOMG!!! He writes all these LONG COMPLICATED comments that takes me ages to decipher and even longer to reply to. T____T I actually went down and analysed it with Carolin (who's doing Japanese 4A) to decode his comments. What's worse is the fact that he replies like 1hr after I reply, so now it's like we're having a conversation and I can't stop... T___T I'M WASTING SO MUCH TIME REPLYING TO HIS COMMENTS WHEN I SHOULD BE STUDYING FOR STUPID FINANCE!!! I feel like he's trying to test my Japanese and that I'm doing a project... Actually, there WAS a project like this in Japanese last year. One of the options of the project was 'Submit several pieces of writing online and people will read it and comment on your writing. You must respond to their comments... blah blah.' Now I'm starting to think that that project was actually on mixi. xD I DO remember the teacher saying something about setting up an account, lol.

The other day, my mum came in and accused me of flushing pads down the toilet. Since I have NEVER flushed a single pad in the toilet in the entire life, I started accusing my brother. xD Yeah, bad judgement. I think he was pretty traumatised when I explained to him what a pad was... The reason is that recently, there's this pipe in my front yard that flooded due to heavy rainfall. All these rubbish floated up from the pipe. My dad unearthed tampons from the front yard amongst the rubbish... Since I've never used a tampon and my mum didn't do it (apparently), I conclude that the pipe's contents doesn't only come from my household. Yes, I shall stop now before y'all puke on your keyboards. :)

Hat Guy

Sun, 27 May 2007 13:28:42 +0000

Last night I went with Wira to the Justin concert. Justin is this HKie singer who always wear a hat (to hide his receding hairline, apparently). It was better than I expected, actually. I must say, despite the fact that you get a lot of HOT guys with HOT hair walking around, I really don't like walking the city alone at night. T____T This pair of guys was walking in my direction and on of them said 'Excuse me, love.' My reactions were:
1. 'Huh?'
2. *thinks* Oh no, they must want money or drugs or something.
3. *Walks away before they could respond to my 'Huh?'
I'm so paranoid!!! They might've only wanted to ask for directions, but I'm just so paranoid, haha. THEY WERE SUSS LOOKING, OKAY!!??
Oh yeah, I saw 'si lai' Obaasan (around 40's - 50's women) at the Justin wearing boots and a mini-shirt... YUUUUUUUUUCK!!! x___X

Since Wira decided to be late (as usual) I got distracted and went to Capitol Theatre to check out new gachapon. They have big Naruto plushies for clawing!! T____T I'm SOOOOOO glad I already own all the plushies that would've tempted me in the skill tester (namely Gaara and Kakashi). If I hadn't been on that plushie frenzy in HK and bought the plushies, I think I would've spent around $50 on skill testers by now. >_____< Haha, but I'd get SOOOOOOO majorly pissed if I spent ages clawing for a Gaara/Kakashi plushie and accidentally ending up with an Orochimaru plushie. xDDD YUCK!!!!! I don't want to sleep next to Orochimaru!!! Who in their right mind would WANT an Orochimaru plushie!!!??? It'd be so creepy if you woke up with all these dead snake skin beside you or something. *shudder*

Anyway, waiting outside Entertainment Centre nearly gave me lung cancer!!! T____T Stupid HKies who all stand outside smoking... I didn't realise so many of them smoke... Anyway, I rate the concert as GOOD. Actually, before I was thinking that I didn't know that many of Justin's songs, but I DID!! I guess I knew them without really realising that I know them... if that makes sense. xD The costumes were REALLY HOT!!! But they all kinda got ruined because of Justin's cap... Like he wore this red jacket with gold buttons and gold chains... which didn't really suit his random black baseball cap. xD Then he wore this hot tux with upturned collars... also with his baseball cap. xDDD And they had fireworks!!! I'm glad they're kinda gradually introducing fireworks into concerts in Australia, cuz before usually the concerts are of lower quality than HK ones because of lack of costumes, fireworks, special effects, props, dangling ropes etc. Like, some of the concerts in HK are really fancy, like with jewel studded thrones, funky helmets, robotic animals etc, but here, you only get singing and some dancing because shipping those props are obviously unfeasible. *Sigh* I understand that's the way it goes, but still... æ®å¿µã ã£ã...

The only bad part about the concert was the guest singer, Theresa Fu (or whatever her name is) from Cookies. MAN, SHE'S SO SHIT!!! There's this old Vivien Chow song that I really like, and STUPID THERESA sang a remixed version of that song and IT WAS SO ZOMG SHIT!!! SHE TOTALLY KILLED THE SONG!!! I think it would've been better if she sang her own songs instead of a remixed version of someone else's song, at least there isn't anyone to compare her crappiness too. AND HER DANCING WAS CRAP. (not as crap as her singing, still) IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BOOTY, DON'T ATTEMPT TO SHAKE IT!!! Shaking booty dances only look good when you actually have a booty... Like, I didn't think she was this shit before, but now I know.

I've realised that concerts ARE really better when the person can sing!!! xDDD This might sound obvious, but sometimes you can like someone because you listen to their songs all the time or something, and not because they sing good. LIKE TWINS!!! I thought their concert wasn't that great, maybe I was just pissed off that stupid Gillian kept forgetting lyrics and had crappy showmanship (like she didn't smile or anything). So, even though I know and like most of Twins' songs, I thought their concert was crap. I realised that even if you go to the concert of someone you don't like as much, it's still enjoyable if they CAN SING.

Concerts which gave me a higher opinion of people than before:
- Hacken Lee
- Jackie Cheung
- Justin
- Wilfred Lau (well, he doesn't sing THAT well, but at least I know of his existence after the JAWS concert xD)
Concerts which gave me a worse opinion of people than before:
- Twins
- Theresa Fu (or whatever her name is)
Concerts where people remained neutral in my opinion list:
- Alex Fong
- Stephy Tang
- Alan Tam

Yes, that's my analysis of Hkie singers. They ALL CRAP NOW!!! (Maybe except Justin, but then I might just be brainwashed by cool costumes) Come back (young) Leon, Andy, Jackie and Aaron~~!! T____T And Vivien Chow and Hacken... Well, technically, none of the above have exactly retired, but it's just not the same as the late 80's - early 90's xDDD Oh and Beyond too, too bad the lead singer's dead. It feels like God just wanted all Hkies to die of bad music. xD

'There once was a grand city, with tall sky scrapers and great music. But the people of the city became proud and soon thought they were better than the Heavens itself. So the Heavens became angry, and sent his Shinigamis (xD) to smite all those who made music good. The lead singer to Beyond, the youngest of the Hui brother (sorry, I forgot their English names xP), Anita Mui and ...That gay guy (I also forgot his English name -__-). Last and worse of all, he sent down the most wicked of all wickedness demon onto the city. The demon soon disguised himself as a human, and took on a job writing lyrics for songs. The lyrics were so horrible and non-sense-making, yet, the disguised demon kept getting music awards for his crappy lyrics. Eventually, the demon drove out other lyric-writers and the lyrics of most of the songs within the city was composed by this demon, and no songs made sense anymore. Thus, the music industry of this city was ruined, the once-proud people of this city could only reminisce those days when music was still good. Now, the demon still roams the city, whispers say that his name is... Lam Jek...'

xDDD Makes HK sound like Atlantis, at least it didn't sink under the sea. But it might soon, one day the earth is just gonna go 'NOOOOO~!! Bad lyrics, wuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!' and swallow up the whole island. xD

EHHHHHH~!! Having a really hard time deciding whether I should apply for that Boobooski thing that Agnes introduced to me last year... -___-; For those who don't know, basically you sign a contract and you work in a ski resort in Japan for 3 months. You get around US$1100 per month and accomodation and food is included.
Why I want to/should go:
- It'll help improve my Jap (a lot) hopefully
- It'll help me get independant (considering how sheltered I've been all my life)
Why I don't want to go:
- I'll get lonely
- I'll be stuck in a country where I don't understand what people are talking about
- The work load is... HK standards (ie working on saturdays too I think)

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just turned around and there was this DOG???????????????????????? LIKE WTH??????????????? Actually, I'm sitting in my basement room next to my garage and my mum's left the garage door open because she was gardening. And I heard something and I turned around thinking it was my mum and I saw a dog next to me!!!!!!???? Then I started yelling because I was so surprised and the dog got scared and started backing away... MAN!!!!!! I NEARLY GOT A HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I wouldn't have reacted as scared if it was one of those small cute dogs, but it wasn't. -________- I think my lifespan just got decreased by 10 Years...

Anyway, back to Boobooski, yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah~ I don't know whether I should go. My mum sorta said something which made me wanna go, like: 'You gotta leave your comfort zone.' Then Yan says something which makes me NOT want to go, like: 'You gotta sign a contract?? Then don't go, haha.' Arrrrrrrrrrgh, I have being so indecisive xD Actually, this time it's more fear of loneliness than indecisiveness, because, if I get into trouble, there'll be no one to turn to. T______T No nakama to support me and give me strength...

Anyway, in cosplay updates, I'm happy to say that Sasuke's dictatorship is crumbling! People are actually suggesting other ideas and starting to stand up. ^____^ *sniff sniff* I'm so glad to finally see people rebelling, although my idea didn't get through, I'm glad I did it anyway to give people courage to stand up to Sasuke's dictatorship.

In other random news, I've finished reading Hana Yori Dango!!! I must say, it has a really shitty ending. -___- But who would've thought that the guy with horrible curly hair turns out to be so... loveable. Analysing HYD, some bits are those typical Shojo-boring-dragging-on-for ages crap, but some bits really make your heart go 'Doki Doki' xDDD I realised that even I, have a shojo inner child!! xDD I feeling like going to a cliff and yelling: 'OKAERI, SHOJO CHAN!!!' Haha, haven't felt this intense doki doki feeling since... Whenever. WHAT'S EVEN WORSE, that Arashi guy who I'm on the verge of liking is the acting the part of the curly hair guy in the live action... THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! It means I'll fall in love with him... SQUARED!!! xDDD Matsumoto Jun * Curly = Doki Doki^2 DAMMIT!! I don't like this side of me T____T I feel like I'm turning into a sissy... I mean, I'm getting random urges of growing my hair out and playing piano again, damn shojo brainwashing. Btw, I'm REALLY tempted to watch Meteor Garden now, but I'm really scared I'll end up falling in love with F4 (Especially Jerry) AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT!!! Aww, but I still want to watch it. But F4 is so gay. My heart is so conflicted at the moment.

Hmm, I randomly went to badminton yesterday, and now MY BODY'S REALLY SORE!!! I mean, just moving hurts. I'M SO UNFIT!!! ARGH!!!

-edit-
Hmm.. Forgot to blog about that wedding I recently went to.

æ²ããã£ãï¼ï¼ï¼æ°å©¦ã¯ã¨ã¦ããããã ã£ãï¼ï¼æ¬å½ã«å¤§ç¾äººã ã£ããããç¾¨ã¾ããï¼ï¼ãã®å¤ã¹ã«ãããªãã¯ããããæ±ãããããããã¯ãããæåã«ç·ã®åãæ±ããããããããã¤ããå¥½ããªç·ã®åã®ããã«ããã¡ã¹ãæ±æãä¿çãã¦ããããããã®å¤ã¹ã¯æ²ããã£ããã§ããæ³£ããã¨ããªããããæ¬å½ã«ãã®æ¦ããåã£ãã¨æã£ããããã§ãããããªãä»å¿ã§å¯ããæããããï¼

On a practical note, the wedding was relatively enjoyable because I've never been to a wedding in Australia before. They had mud cake for their wedding cake!!! My bro's like 'I want an ice-cream cake for my wedding if they can have a mud cake.' In that case... I WANT CHEESE CAKE AT MY WEDDING (with crunchy base)!!! And I nearly LOL-ed when they played Savage Garden's 'I knew I loved you' when they were playing their lovey-dovey slideshow. I literally got goosebumps because it was so... lovey-dovey... I WANT GACKT PLAYED AT MY WEDDING!!! (Probably not Vanilla though) A bad thing about sitting next to my bro in these situations is that every time I leave my seat and go to the toilet (which was a lot, cuz I fully loaded myself with... err... coke), when I come back, some girl would be sitting in my seat talking to him. They're not even people I LIKE!!! Like those badminton bitches that I've always not liked. (Including Gamy)

There was that bouquet toss thing, my mum later asked me why I didn't get up and try for the bouquet. I told her that I wasn't desperate (unlike Gamy). This has nothing to do with the wedding, but I told my dad that I wanted a Wii, and apparently there's only 2 ways he'll get it for me:
1. I get in the habit of excercising to the degree that I actually LIKE excercise. (Where I started arguing with him how me hating excercise is like a gay person wanting to turn straight, but can't)
2. I get married, then I can put Wii on my get-this-for-me-for-my-wedding list. -___-
OH! THE DEGREE THAT I'D SINK TO JUST TO BUY A WII!!! No, I am not going to get married to any random person for the sake of getting a Wii...

I remembered, when I first arrived at the wedding, I quickly loaded myself with a whole load of red wine... Then when the priest guy was like 'let's say grace', I just remember bowing my head while he was saying grace thinking 'OMG, my head feels like lead, I wanna throw up, wish I didn't drink all that alcohol without drinking water and eating anything.' Then I got scared that I'd do something I'd regret, like a drunk ãã¤ãã person would do, so I kinda just sat there staring into blank space for much of the time. This is embarrassing, but my own li'l bro had to kinda bribe me with food so I'd stop drinking... Anyway, that's Tiffany's Wedding Adventure for now!

Haha, it's so difficult writing an essay on "filial piety" (treating your parents good) when your mum comes home and starts arguing to you about something unreasonable and hypocritical. Anyway, she totally sucks, haha.

So I've started reading Ouran High School Host Club due to peer pressure. It's cute!! ...Yet wrong. xDDD I wonder if the host clubs in Japan got more customers because of the influence of Ouran. I doubt I'd have the guts to go into a host club though (even though I'm tempted to... thinking about hot guys and their hot hair). It'd be so embarrassing! >___< I'm starting to understand the feeling guys get before they go into a strip club or a whore house. xD That's, if they feel any form of embarrassment at all... Even if it's not as extreme as going into a strip club or a whore house, I'd still feel embarrassed going into a host club, being served, and coming out of a host club, haha.

Anyway, in cosplay news, I went to Su's house to do my Kankurou costume (in the time length between this post and the last post xD)! It's not much of a costume though, I just need a black turtle neck and black pants. Despite the simplicity of my costume, I still managed to sew my collar inside out. xDDD I suck. Luckily, Su, the sewing guru corrected my ways (and unstitched my mistakes). Sankyuu to Su for so much help!!! Now I've only got my hat and sandels to make. (Get it, country of sand - SANDals, huh huh huh.) I'm tempted to wear the sandals (after I make them) to uni, but I'm scared it'll fall apart, then I'll have no sandals for cosplay and I might step on a syringe or something. T___T

In cosplaying news, I went with Su to meet up with the rest of the Naruto group! It was really awkward waiting in front of Kino, not knowing whether people were in our group as well. It so happens that Justin (Priscilla's ex from high school who's from a grade above us) was there too... For a fleeting scary moment, I almost thought he was part of our Naruto group. xDDD To my suprised, he greeted us, and to my further surprise, he remembered my name. xD Anyway, after the Naruto people arrived (around 20 out of the 30 people in our group), we went to one of those restaurants along China Town which only white people eat at. The food was crap and expensive (a jug of coke was $10!! :O:O:O) AND the worst thing was: I got stuck at the non-Konoha table. T____T
1. It meant I couldn't sit with Su, who was Neji.
2. I got stuck on the table with Sasuke on it - the girl who's a control freak.
3. This was LITERALLY what the Konoha table was like compared to the non-Konoha table:
Konoha: Haha, yeah, yeah. Totally! HAHA! That's SO funny!! *chatter chatter* *buzz with excitement*
Non-Konoha: Shi-------------------n. *cough cough* *awkward silence* ...Hey, let's laugh when the Konoha table laughs. (to not sound like losers and to sound popular or something)
NO EXAGGERATION!!! Damn racist people!!! Just because I'm not from Konoha!! xDD It's totally racism!!!
Anyway, afterwards, we went to Galaxy World (I don't know why) and I got to socialise with Shikamaru who was totally cuuuuuuuuuuute!! x3 Haha, and he's nice too (unbelievably). He goes to my uni! However, I think he's gay, haha, from the way he speaks. If you use the standard measurement of Alvins, with Alvin being 1 Alvin, Carson from Fab5 being around 2-3 Alvins, Shikamaru would be around 0.25 Alvins I'd say. But that's ok, haha. Meh, forgot what happened with rest of socialising, so I won't talk about it. xD *doesn't remember anything unrelated to Shikamaru*

On other Naruto related news, Yan and I have formulated our theory on why Temari is a blonde, Gaara is a redhead and Kakuro is a brunette (black hair actually) (in the anime). Everyone with adequate common sense will know that that's genetically impossible. So Gaara's mum, who's a blonde (I think) and Gaara's dad, the Kazekage, who's a blonde (I think) got married and had Temari, who's also a blond. Genetically correct so far. However, Gaara's mum bears Kankuro who has black hair next, genetically - impossible. Two blond peoeple can't give birth to someone with black hair. So therefore, Gaara's mum had an affair with someone else and so Kankuro isn't really Kazekage's real dad. Kazekage, knowing this, obviously becomes suspicious and Gaara's mum is labeled whore of Suna because she sleeps around. Kazekage then decides to sacrifice Gaara's mum because she's the whore of Suna to give birth to Gaara, who has red hair. And this is the reason why the 3 brothers and sisters all have different coloured hair and Gaara's mum was sacrificed. :)
