written on: 3rd december2009

WE BRING THEE GREETINGS FROM...ACK-LAND! Which is situated somewhere North of the South Pole.

Hibari: Most of the world is North of the South Pole, stupid herbivore.

What the heck is HE doing here?! GET OUT!!! I bet you can't even name a herbivorous animal.

Hibari: I don't have to prove myself to you. And you have no control over where i am and where I go. (so there. ha.)

So...you WANT to be on my blog?

Hibari: ......you have a point there.

Whatever. I usually hate it when people start talking to characters who don't exist and treat it as if those pitiful characters actually CARE about the person in question.
Of course, that's coming from me, a person who HATES OC fics.

Hibari: (you and me both...-_-)

WHAT ARE YOU SITLL DOING HERE?!
Huh, whatever. I can't be bothered with a human like you. (Hibari Kyouya versus Haruhi Suzumiya...who would win? ^^)

OKAY OKAY. BLAH.
Clouds, as usual, remain something irritating in NZ holiday life.
About being in Ackland, I meant, AUCKland.
Which is not in Europe somewhere, but in the North island of NZ.

Hibari: Hn. I knew that.

Sure you did. Now shut up and sit quietly in a corner so i don't have to talk to you and end up typing stuff I would hate to read.

OKAY! So, since I was in Taipa yesterday and now am NOT in Taipa I think you can guess what happened today.
That's right, kids! We travelled down southward! WHEE!

So we started off the day eating a big breakfast at the Taipa Bay Resort (i think that's the name) and I'm not just talking about the size.
It IS called the Big Breakfast. No it wasn't Macs. i kinda decided we wouldn't eat Macs while we were here.
Of course, my dad ate at BK on our first day here but I didn't. Ha.

So.
(now i sound like those irritating people who go on and on and on about their every action in their blogs. Sheesh.)
The toast was MAHSHIEEEEE cuz I ordered my eggs scrambled (and whipped and beaten and creamed. Sadist.) and they heaped it on my toast.
And although the eggs were PWNSOME the liquid that soaked my toast was NOT.
TT_TT MY TOASTTTT
Well, good thing they served us 2 slices of toast as 'appetiser' (of sorts) and I smothered my slice with a really sour jam.
...niceeee.

So then we went to walk along the bay for a bit and it was reeeally windy. Where we were a while ago, there was an old chap with his old dog. My dad said he could tell that the doggy was old cuz it moved reeeally slowly.
Poor doggy.
But it was still cute. X3
So we heaved out bags into the boot and awaaaay we gooooo~~~~!




Our really really long trip was full of pitstops for toilet and attractions. We stopped by this field on a hill which was supposed to be where a war was fought.
It wasn't a big war, just between the Maoris and the Brits. THere's still quite a bit of animosity between the two races till this day but these days it's not as big as before. You know, like today's Chinese people still see the Ang mohs as rich and some would say that the Indians were poor (which are totally unnecessarily true. Just stating an EXAMPLE).
Well, here, the whites would secretly tell foreigners/tourists that the Indians (i think they mean Maori, but you know it's like how westerners call red indians...indians.) vandalise public property, and swear it is true.
And complaing about how pesky they are, of course.
Anyway, the field battle thing was pretty pathetic.

Basically the Maori were pro fighters. They held their ground so far in the war and the Brits were pretty much phailing despite the high amounts of pro ammunition and the advantage of numbers on their side.
So, the battle field was essentially a hill. The Maoris were on the hill, and there was a deep valley in the front between them and another hill.
Behind them was relatively flatter ground and not so hilly. In other words, a rather weak spot. The Valley in the front was a strong spot.
guess where the lazy brit commander decided to attack.
The valley.
Pure genius.
So by the time they knocked down the palissade of the fort, they discovered that almost no one was there.
Obviously the Maori relied more on their natural surroundings and the fort was essentially just a lure for the idiotic brit army to head for.
My dad thinks it's cuz the guy was just too lazy to walk a bit further to attack them from behind.
...tut tut.


There was a museum we went to which was really small. It was about the Scots who moved to NZ because of the greedy landowners.
Most of what we saw there were things I vaguely remember from that horrible histories book, bloody Scotland.
Most of what we saw there were things I clearly remember from David Gemmell.
Remember how I said he uses people from real life? like, the Chiatze in his books, are yellow skinned and almond eyed and really smart? cough chinese cough.
Yeah. He has the Rigante series which stars Highlanders and Lowlanders and something about tartan. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that all that clan stuff was similar to the Scots.

The unofficial clan leader of that time was called Norman McLeod and he was a christian, i think.
So his teachings were based on Calvinistic views as well as the scottish clan view, so he was really popular.
He sounds like the really stubborn type...

Then we headed off to some bee farm place.
Not interesting, not interesting...

(if anyone is wondering, Hibari has dozed off in the corner. hibird has dissapeared. He'll come back.)

So, dinner.
We got bored and ventured to the Grill of our hotel. Unfortunately it seemed a bit pricey.
So we went to the Sky tower, which is where you can see the WHOLE of Auckland, and had an EVEN pricier meal.
The Observatory Restaurant, situated at..really really high. Buffet with food that was really really weird. I mean, there's a piece of beef on a huge onion layer which is stuffed with some mashed bean thing. like, ew?
The beef was nice, but the ...bean ...was...not...
Even the onion was nice. But I like fried onions, so...uh, ha.
Then we went down to the observatory itself.
it
Was.
FREAKY.
Cuz at the walkway nearest to the glass windows, occasionally there were squares of glass on the FLOOR which let you see alllll the way down on the roads.
No friggin SCARY.
It was like walking on AIR.
Even though I knew the glass was there my stomach still leapt everytime i stepped on the glass.
Now i know how Peter felt when Jesus asked him to walk on the water with him.
FREAK-Y.

And there were those coin presses things! I used the only two $2 coins I had left to get one which was round and one which gets swapped with a penny and we punched a hole in it!
So now I have two new pressed coins to add to my collection.

Tomorrow we head to Rainbow's End amusement park.
I hope it's not too boring, nor too scary.
I hope it's not too expensive, too.

Hibari: zzz...***?
Hibird: Hibari-hibari~!
Me: SO CUTEEE!
Hibari: Go away.
(fortunately, he didn't say, Get away from my bird. If he did, I would be choking from disgust, and laughing my head off at the unintentional sickness of that statement.)



Written on December 4th 2009.

I have been playing Quintessence on the computer since there's no internet around here. Or, more accurately, there IS internet. Ya just gotta pay a bomb ta use it.

Wow. That was...incredibly Raven-ish.

Raven: (does a backflip) See? I knew ya girls liked the great and awesome Raven!

Why do I always get the weird ones to star on my blog...

Hibari: (I'm weird?)
Raven: OH my poor ol' (blastia) heart can't take this kind of heartbreak! Lifie darlin', how could you DO this to me!

Ignoring the old pervert in the corner growing mushrooms in his Corner of Emoness, I shall update you on my so far rather uneventful NZ trip.

We went to Rainbow's End theme amusement park.
Which is funny. Ya see, the end of the rainbow's supposed to be a pot of gold, right? But the whole park is arcobaleno themed/coloured.
WHERE'S THE GoLD?!

Anyway, the park was rather lame. I liked the Viking boat and my dad was screaming his head off trying to scare all the little kids.
As usual.
The rest of the kids were staring at us pretty funny.

There were long queues EVERYWHERE and considering that today is Friday you wonder why these kids were all pwning school
Later we found out that they had a free Fun Day, where those kids who helped do a certain amount of work got to go to Rainbow's End.
Such is the luck that I have.

There was a log ride where...ya know. Go around a few times, splash down some short slope. My dad and I queued there for a looooong time.
And then he saw the slope.
"WHAT?! That's not even half of what Splash Mountain is like! Let's go somewhere else."

The problem is, once you've been to Disneyland and DisneyWorld, most other themeparks are pretty lousy.
Infact, it would seem that the ONLY nice theme parks are in Australia and America!

There was a ride which was "THe only corkscrew roller coaster in the whole of New Zealand!" and ...honestly It was quite a letdown.
Total of two corkscrews and one loop-da-loop does NOT exactly total on my "HIEEEEEE!!!^EXTREME" list.
(That's read as: HIEEE to the power of EXTREME)
There was this underground ride in the US which had like, 6+ corkscrews. it was fun but not terrifying.
Poor poor NZ.

And there were a whole lot of IRRITATING teenagers who SCREAMED for the HECK of it. Like, IDIOTS!

It's more fun going with friends. WHY WON'T MY FRIENDS COME ON HOLIDAY WITH MEEEEE.

So.
It also RAINED.
AND RAINED AND RAINED AND RAINED.
If it's not the Clouds and Mist which go around, it's the RAIN.

Yamamoto: Who me?

ARGH MORE IRRITATING PeOPLE!

Squalo: VRAAAHHHH WHY AM I HERE?!
Yamamoto: Hey, Squalo. You shouldn't yell so much. People think you're irritating.
Squalo: VOI! THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU, IDIOT! YOU TALK TOO MUCH!

cough. Ahem. Takes one to know one, Squalo.

Squalo: VRAHHHH WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!

Raven: it means, pipe down. Sheesh, youngsters these days...

Squalo: VOIII, OLD MAN. ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME, SUPERBI SQUALO?!?!

Raven: Doesn't 'squalo' mean shark? I know some italian too, ya know!

Squalo: Che! I DON'T CARE!

Raven: You should! Oopsie looks like there's a storm a-brewin'......TEMPEST!!!

Squalo: VRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! (gets tossed away in a hurricane of lightning and ...wind. )

Raven: Maybe you should...uh, THINK?

Yamamoto: I thought storm in italian was Tempesta, not tempest.

Raven: Kid, notice I never said that Tempest was italian. I just said that I knew some italian.

(The truth is, the writer forgot what was the spell for Arrivederci. But Yamamoto, Squalo and Raven don't need to know that.)

ANYWAY.

Hotdogs.
with no SAUSAGE>!?!!

My chili dog, was just the hot dog bun, with ground beef and cheese.
...at least it was hot.

Didn't I mention? It RAINED and RAINED and RAINED and it was FRIGGIN EFFING COLD TO THE EXTREME.

...EXTREMELY.

Eventually we retreated to the arcade and spent ten bucks worth of tokens on House of the Dead 2.
I think my dad's skill has fallen.
Mine is slightly better. I didn't die THAT quickly.
My aim is not that bad anymore. I used to aim for the side of the screen. now I just aim right beside the zombie's head.
...hey, take it slowly!

Then we got reeeally bored and left.

We went to the bookstore and the xbox shoppe and the supermarket to buy stuff for next week.

And then we sorta got stuck in a traffic jam on the Southern Highway (think: Big big big expressway, only minus the ERP, and a LOT bigger.)
So my dad got this brilliant idea to cut through the towns instead of taking the main highway.
So we drove off got a bit lost (happens when your GPS happens to be called Lifiea Chancelot) and we stopped at a Vietnamese restaraunt for dinner.

Honestly.
After being in NZ eating western food, suddenly, i'm here eating hot noodles (it's a bit like kueh tiao, ya know. flat.) with SOUP that's NOT creamy or with carrots, potatoes or asparagus.
AND IT IS PWNSOMENESS.
It was SO NICE.

And then we got Deep Fried Ice Cream!
When it arrived it was essentially, one big fried doughball with what looked like a bit of condensed milk on top, with ground nuts and a chunk of cherry on the top.
Me: How do we eat this?
My dad: Very carefully.
Good answer.

it was AWESOME.
it's a bit like eating bread with icecream, only the bread is fried and much thinner and crispier...
...Essentially it's like eating batter with icecream. Which WAS what it was.
And the vanilla ice cream was nice too, even though i had been freezing my butt off (actually, i think my butt was a lot warmer than the rest of me) before my dinner.
But IT WAS SO NICE.
And when we left (after I paid...-_-) it was STILL friggin raining.
STUPID RAIN.

Squalo: VOI??!

Raven: Rain! (shoots Rain arrow at Squalo)

Squalo: #$@$@#$!!!

Yes. raven has an attack called Rain. Never mind that.

Yamamoto: Haha how fun! Is this part of the mafia game too?

Squalo: IT IS NOT A BLAHDY GAME.

he's just in denial. Yamamoto, i mean.


Lalalala.

So now in out crazy little Notepad document there's me, Squalo (VOIIII), Yamamoto, Raven and...
...
...
...HIbARI WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!?!?!
Hibari: There is no exit.

YES There is! That red 'X' button in the corner...

Hibari: ..........(I can't reach it)

Right. Oops.

TOO BAHD YOU SHALL HAVE TO STAY HERE FOREVER WITH US HLAHLAHLAHLAHLA.

Hibari: (takes out tonfas) I'll bite you all to death

Raven: Heyy...youngster. Didn't your parents teach you not to point dangerous metal thingys at your elders?

Squalo: Voi, you aren't that old are you?

Raven: Glad ta hear that i still retain my youthful looks.

Yamamoto: Isn't that stubble on your chin?

Hibari: -_-" (have they forgotten me...)

have a nice ...night everyone! Enjoy what little left of december you have.
For next year...we endure SEC 3.

We are now at Lake Tofu...I mean, Taupo.

...it's no big deal.
I mean, there's just a really big lake but it's not even pwetty.

We picked up my mom today, too.
Just remembered how peaceful life was when she wasn't around.
At least, I didn't have someone who happened to like being in the MOST crowded places in public and suddenly saying stuff like,
"Is your period coming soon? The condition of your face is getting more hedious."

Note, my dear readers, that this is often said in a rather loud tone of voice, in usually a small place like a lift, with lots of people.

Yes, facepalm. Facepalm.

Makes you envy those ostriches that can just hide their heads in the ground.

So.
We have too much food stocked in our fridge and 10+ bottles of Tui beer.

The tui bird is very very cute. It's small and black with a white strip of feathers.
AND IT is vERY CUTE.
Did I mention that yet?
IT IS VERY CUTE.

Dum dee dum.

The Sun can be very annoying.

Ryohei: HEYY!!! WHO SAID I'M ANNOYING?!

Uh...uh... (grabs Gokudera) Sorry Hayato. Here Ryohei, this is that mean person who said you were annoying.

Gokudera: WHAT?! #$@# I DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING! (Although, i don't disagree...)

(backs away) have fun, play nice, boys!

Gokudera: #$@#$@!!!

Ryohei: It's EXTREMELY NOT NICE to be EXTREMELY vulgar to girls!

Yea, Hayato. Didn't your m....dad teach you manners? (You can't say 'mom', cuz ...well...uh.)

Gokudera: My dad was in the mafia, idiot. The only manners he taught me were that if someone wasn't nice, you punch them.

Sound advice.
Anyway.

hakeem smsed me and said that there's gonna be a class bbq on the 13th. I shall pwn YF camp for that.
He was supposed to call me a while ago.
...guess he forgot.

i wonder if the rest of the guys will come. Joshua said that both genders mix pretty okayish last meeting.
...hm. Haven't seen him online these days.

...i just DREAD seeing how much they've grown since we last saw them. Hakeem likes to rub it in my face. -_-

written 7 december, monday.

Today...we decided to stop slacking and get to...holiday.
So.
Uh.
first we checked out a dam.
...yay.
Then the dam opened.
You can guess what happened.

"Oh holy waters rise up and storm the very heavens...TIDAL WAVE!!!!"

Okay, so they weren't 'holy', and they certainly didn't 'storm the heavens', but it was a huge amount of water crashing down upon the vegetation beyond.
It made you stare in awe.
It made you want to pee.
So my dad did just that in a corner next to a dark cave, while me and my mom who ALSO needed to go but couldn't, made sure no one stumbled upon the action of responding to the call of nature.

Then we went on a cruise to explore the river.

There were so many duckies...~

Anyway, we reached a little waterfall at the end and it was so awesome.
A crazy kayaker went over the edge and all of us cheered him.
He went to do it again.
...I told my mom i wanted to do it too.
She told me she'd never let me.
Crap.

Later we went to a Maori culture show and dinner thingy.
It was...phun.
I guess.
They told us that Ki-ora meant hello.
I keep mixing it up with Hiyouri, and...Arcobaleno.
...Don't ask.

Our guide was pretty much related to the other 6 performers.
There was this young guy who's his cousin.
My mom said he's cute.
He looked half maori half...something else. Something caucasian. Austrailian maybe?
He reminds me of Steph K. and Joshua.
He was ...uh, rather funny and pretty much LOVED the stage and acted really ...enthu?

They performed a war dance called the Haka which was a bit scary cuz they screamed and shouted and all that. They do it before battles to get the adrenaline up.
They said the women do it better.
I agree.
The women are scarier FOR SURE.

We-ell.
I shall abuse my internet previlleges to post this whole chunk of words now.
I thank you for reading.

Internet here SUCKS.

There's a whole lot of porny adult shows they show at night here. No wonder they always get their little kiddies to sleep at 8.

Poor things.

Anyway.

NEW SHOES, NEW SHOES. I have purple sports shoes for school now.
You'd notice, all the shoes i get for school from NZ are always PURPLE.
(it says lilac on the box but that's hardly importan--

Gokudera: IT IS TOO IMPORTANT! LILAC AND PURPLE ARE TWO SEPARATE COLOURS WHICH CAN BE SEEN...
(pulls out a colour wheel with 150 colours)
Gokudera: ...AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE ABOUT 13 COLOURS BETWEEN LILAC AND PURPLE...

Oh ho ho ho, hello midear Hayato-chan. Shut up.

Gokudera: (chucks deenamitay)

Oh Yuuuuuri~

Yuri: (cuts deenamitay in half) Didn't anyone teach you not to throw explosives at your elders?

Gokudera: Didn't you say something like that last time?

Yuri: Didn't you suck up to your boss last time too?

Gokudera: O_O

Me: O_O

Yuri: ...what?

Tsuna: ...WHAT?!?!

Me: EVERY BODY GET OUT OF HERE!

(elders...well, I AM older than little Hayato-chan...since he's born later than I am. :P)

Gokudera: #@$@#%@!

DON'T GIVE ME THAT LANGUAGE, BOY.

Now.

Today we played mini golf.
As usual I never take anything seriously, nearly whacked my dad's head off, nearly broke a wooden thingy by standing on it,
...well, let's just say the cashier didn't look happy when she looked at me when we returned the clubs.

La lala.

Then we came home, I watched utter geek shows on Discovery Channel which was about Robots and other things.
Scary.
there was this Jap guy who made a robot who looked exactly like himself, to teach at the university.
Scary.
Tra de la de la de la.

Then we had chili. Which was more of pasta sauce with beans.
With boiled potatoes.
Nya nya hla hla lalala.

I'm so friggin SICK of this place.
I want to go home and rot my brain on the Labyrinth of Memories in ToV, Assasin's Creed, and NOT go for friggin YF camp.

hakeem called me again.

Essentially, two things happened today.
1, i played with kids from the other houses. A girl who got adopted from china, called Sawyer, and two kids called Julia and Ryan. Ryan's the kid with the imaginary friend.
2, we went to take a long walk. Attempting to tell the story of Quintessence...and phailing.

Oh yeah, and i finished my Finale Notepad version of Kokoro no Hoshi (Uni's character song) in Piano. So now i can listen to it AND print it out. Not that I need it of course.
Orders accepted. ^^

ON A TOTALLY UNRELATED TO NZ NOTE.

What do Rita Mordio and Haruhi Suzumiya have in common?
- stubborn
- weird
- no friends (haruhi has that kyon guy but that hardly counts. -_-)
- powerful. (but haruhi doesn't know that.)
- same english seiyu.

What do Judith and Matsumoto Rangiku have in common?
-chest size. Although, Matsumoto's is probably bigger.
-somewhat powerful. (Judith pwns, of course.)
-flirty
-same...seiyu. I can't remember for jap or english...

What do yagami Raito, Lelouch di Brittania (did i get that right?), Tamaki Suou and Flynn Scifo have in common?
-influence on the world. GREAT influence. (except Tamaki.)
-someone pwns them in the end. (for Raito...Near, i guess. Lulu,...whoever killed him. Tamaki...uh, everyone else. Flynn...Yuri, of course.)
-same jap seiyu

Now, taking above in account.
WHAT DO SZAYEL APOLLO GRANTZ AND YURI LOWELL HAVe IN COMMON?!
- Psychotic? nope.
-heroic? NO.
- Pwnsome? no.
- use swords? Heck, what the heck DOES Szayel use?
- Weird hair colour? Black's common. So...no.
NOTHING, exept english seiyus.

CHARON
listening to Linkin Park to flush out Kokoro no Hoshi (Piano) from my brain



Ciao! I bring thee greetings from the land of sheep, alcohol (so they say) and clouds.
Yep, CLOUDS.
(Hibari glares. Gola Mosca snorts. I whistle)

I have rented 2 hours of internet time and Lapre is serving me hand and lap (...laptop. Getit? HAHAHA okay forget it) although his overheating battery is already burning my thigh because I'm unwilling to hobble two steps to grab a pillow.

Anyway, at the current moment i sit in my resort in Taipa, north island of NZ.
And MSNing my mother, who insisted I bring Lapre along.
(actually i was going to use Lapre for updating my blog, going on ff.net, checking mail so I don't end up coming home and confronting 50+ emails...i already have 5 today) She changed her mind and said I shouldn't but i did.

So, from the begining, men!

Yesterday.
wait, it started two days ago.
We hopped on board an SQ flight at about 9. More accurately we left the house and arrived at the airport at...4+. Which s retarded.
So we spent the rest of the time listening to my dad yak on about the judges of Israel and eating dinner later.
My mom came over to check on us at about 8+ and then bade us a sobbing farewell (she's meeting up with us on friday cuz she still has school).
Okay, minus the sobbing part.

AEROPLANES. ARE. EVIL.
SQ went through a revamp while I wasn't looking. The chairs are no longer dark purple (Hibari glares. Again.) but are now some kind of light orange (Tsuna grins stupidly. What's new?). NEW GAMES. NEW MOVIES! And now they let you stick your thumbdrives into this USB port to use them like on a computer.
...fat chance. My mp3 wouldn't fit in cuz there was a lump of plastic sticking out on the port which wouldn't' let my fat mp3 go in.
Che.
And i couldn't BLAHDY sleep.
So instead of sleeping I ended up finishing the rest of my Italian course.
I PHAIL at aeroplane bowling. (Awa would be laughing if she knew, but she's in China now. D:)
So I now know how to pronounce Arrivederci.
FINALLY....
Uno, due, tre, ...something, chique, something, SETTE.......nove, dieci.
...i phail, i know.
I was wondering why 7 was Sette, since ...what language is "Trinisette". So i guess it IS italian after all.
never mind.

I ended up sleeping during the next day during the remaining 2 hours of the flight after breakfast.
...so did my dad. He couldn't sleep either.
Stupid cow neck support pillow from the AIG agency didn't help either.

YESTERDAY (truly, i say!)
We spent a whole lot of time driving. Was supposed to stay awake and help dad stay awake.
Phailed in both aspects.
We ended up half lost, and nearly drove into ravines a couple of times.
...Sheep look a lot cuter without their wool.

TODAY (finally.)
We ended up waking up at 9. IN THE MORNING, not in the night, sheesh. I'm not THAT bad.
So, we went to the ninety mile beach!
(AWESOME. I didn't type "bleach" that time! ^^)
It's a looooong way, and the beach itself is even longer!
(Come to think of it, the distance there AND the distance of the beach itself is about the same distance....but you get my meaning)
When we first went there the tide was in so we couldn't go. D:
Then we went to somewhere called Cape Reinga, where the souls of the Maori throw themselves off to the world beyond.
It was ...CLOUDY.
(Hibari glares)
From a short distance the road has Drifting Clouds of Solitude all over it (pun intended) and you seriously can't see much while driving through.
The Cape itself is bulletproof and dying will flame proof and can change form into a cute lion called Nuts, or Natsu...(Hibari throws a tonfa)
Sorry about that. wrong cape.
Cape REINGA is rather high and FULL of MORE hitoribocchi no sadame.
Me: WHY IS THE SONG CALLED DRIFTING CLOUDS OF SOLLITUDE WHEN ALL THESE CLOUDS KEEP BUNCHING TOGETHER AND ATTACKING US ALL AT ONCE!(stupid herbivore, hibari...)
My dad: haha.
Evidently my dad doesn't know a THING about Hibari kyouya, but why should he?
(Hibari: GLARES)
There was this short and stout lighthouse there which ran on solar panels. Not that they would have got any Sun with the Cloud in the way. You couldn't even see the Sky!
(Ryohei, Hibari, and Tsuna: -_-)
You couldn't even See the Sea!
(pun intended, reference to a song by suffsquared called See the Sea.)
Well, you could see a bit, but there were too many clouds in the way.
(Image of multiple Hibaris and gola Moscas running everywhere appears in mind's eye. I am scared.)

Then we made our way back toward the 90 mile beach
And we picked up two backpackers.
They were a guy and a girl, who were from france, university students, who were in NZ for 3 years.
(Uni means sea urchin in Italian. Why did Aria have such BAD naming sense?!)
They study wine marketing or soemthing, and wine making respectively.
Amazing. Though I suppose you can't march up to NUS and say "GIMME A COURSE IN WINE MAKING! ^^"
So my dad and the girl yakked on quite a bit. The guy was rather quiet. My dad sez it's cuz guys aren't too good with languages.
That explains why people like Nick were good in chinese but in my opinion his english sucked.
Anyone who speaks THAT much singlish HAS to suck in english, to me, anyway.

Blah.
So we dropped them off somewhere near the 90 mile beach and hopped back to the beach
This time the tide was far out and i drew a couple of pictures in the sand using a bunch of seashells i picked up,.
did you know seashells are an AWESOME drawing medium? They have awesome ...lines.
And i am reminded to wash out the shells. (shrugs)
It was really pretty...~

So we left.
And we saw that couple standing by the road
Again.
...Like, WTF?!

So we picked them up again, and since we had nothing better to do, we took them all the way to their destination, which was quite a distance away from Awanui and Kataia, which are both a distance away from Taipa.
So we went to kataia to buy back dinner from a Roast place, and...
...
...
...got booked for speeding.
...Ingenious. And we've only been here 2 days.
Not good.
That's 80 bucks. D:
Damn.

Dinner was...interesting.
(I'm listening to hitoribocchi no sadame now, btw. -_-)
Ai nante shiranai....
(Translation: i don't know love)

I miss Yuri. And Judith and Estelle and Raven and Karol and Rita and Repede and...and...and.....
...Ezio, maybe? not so much.

I watched Up and Teen Titans on the aeroplane and now i want to rewatch the ENTIRE teentitans on the internet.
BUt i DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH ToV/ASSASINS CREED II/TEEN TITANS by the time school starts, cuz after this trip there's YF camp (damn i didn't want to GO! Who wants to sleep on a floor when i get to do that EVERY BLAHDY YEAR IN NCC?!) and then there's all the Christmas get up WHERE'S THE TIME?!

Pollo means chicken in italian. (nods sagely)

Teen titans is AWESOMENESS. I remember why me and Fangirl used to like it so much. We both liked Raven (raven as in Teen Titans, not the dirty minded creep whom we all love from ToV). Beast boy is hilarious, Robin is irritatingly pro and Starfire is...is...
...if you like Orihime Inoue from Bleach, and Kyoko or Chrome from KHR!, you'll like Starfire.
And Cyborg is ...cool, but not really awesomeness. I mean, he likes JINX. JINX!
That crazy cat-like girl!
Never mind that.
It's UBER obvious that:
Raven sort of likes Beast Boy, if she ignores his irritatingness.
Robin and Starfire are practically DATING.
Cyborg....uh, not much of a love life, except for all the times he and Jinx are flirting and...stuff.

ANYWAY.
I GOT YURI'S KNIGHT OUTFIT!
KYAAAAAA!
He's right. He looks like an idiot in it.
So if you wear it and walk to Flynn, he WHISTLES.
i thought it was wolf-whistling, but he was...laughing.
So he said "I suddenly remember that one of the reasons why you left the knights was because you hated the uniform"
Yuri: "Still do. I'm just wearing this on a whim." (That's not true. He's wearing it cuz I equipped it on him and he doesn't have much of a choice, but flynn doesn't know that.)

I'm gonna keep him in it.
Cuz we all know girls love a man in uniform.
(laughs head off maniacally)

who has about 23 minutes of internet time left.




Basically there was this scene where Gokudera was going to run out and ...i dunno. Yell at Yamamoto? But Tsuna grabbed his...hand...and dissuaded him. 2759/5927 fans, be happy. -_-


He looks AWESOME in the picture.



I know. It's irritating.
Apparently I can proudly say i have ONE little bit of Tales of the Abyss merchandise, cuz in the ToV CHaracter development book they drew a Flynn chibi and I always thought that the mini chibi they drew at the side was Flynn in commoner's clothes but then I saw another picture of Guy and I realised that the jap words were probably the interviewer talking about the resemblance between Flynn and Guy.
BUt never mind that.

MY COUSIN JAC LISTENED TO ME AND WATCHED KHR!
She likes Ryohei, though. Cuz he's "EXTREME"
And she likes Chrome second.
And she can't pronounce Tsuna's name.
She thought it was Tusna or something.
Anyway, the only word she has learnt from the series so far is "Juudaime" and ...uh, Ninth. "Kuudaime?" or something.
She remembers Gokudera as 'the bomber guy, right?"
she remembers Yamamoto as "the baseball idiot."
She ...uh, calls Gingerbread, "Gingerbread man! HAHAHA!"
Anyway.
I told her to watch it two weeks ago.
Today she told me she was at episode 103.
...O_O
I'm SO PROUD OF HER!

AND she got a little doggy!
Who keeps biting me.
It's a Cocker Spaniel from some farm, which cost them 900 bucks, and her name is Caramel.
"WHY NOT CALL IT ENZIOOOO" I whined to my parents when we were on the way home.
"Ezio?!" goes my dad, mistaking it for the guy in Assasin's Creed.
"But Enzio's the name of a turtle..." I mused.
"......." went my mom.
It is HYPER.
HYPER HYPER HYPER HYPER HYPER.
Open the cage, and POOF it's out to jump bite run around bite run bite run BITE.
My dad likes cats more.

My cousins love the computer more than they love Inu-chan. I mean, Caramel.
Heck, I bet they would love caramel more than they love Caramel.
I pity Inu-chan.

...oops! That's how i sign off to Kari's PMs! ><



You leapt off a high fixture, rolled on the floor to break the fall, and got up quickly. You sprint across the room toward Lucy, a scientist/assasin/friend who busted you out of your kidnapper's place.
"That's great! It seems that you've learnt all the skills that Ezio had."
You nod reluctantly because you know she's upset that the guy they, the Templars, kidnapped before had gone mad and died. With a reassurance that seems to cheer her up, she smiles at you.
"Alright. Go get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow"
She walks away, leaving you to explore a bit. After finding nothing, you walk toward the direction of your room.
..
...the room...starts.......spinning...
...You see....templars? Templars ....from the past. Not like that crackpot scientist who kidnapped you.
They carry......swords? And they wear those bucket helmets....
You lean against a wall...and the scenes change slowly...
...
...and you find yourself...
"What the hell am I doing in Acre?!" you wonder aloud. "I'm not even in the Animus (thingy which allows you to access your ancestor's memories)"
You realise, that you're not in your italian ancestor, Ezio's body, but instead in your Arabian ancestor, Altair's.
"Weird dream," you tell yourself.
Suddenly, a Templar rushes past you. Using your Eagle Vision you realise he's the one Altair has to kill. You pursue him.
Leaping over buildings, evading guards that give a whole new meaning to the term "workaholic", you nearly catch up to the Templar...but he slams the door shut.
You realise you are standing before a super super tall tower at the corner of the city's walls.
No way in but the top. You scale the walls with much difficulty, wondering why your ancestor coudln't just have picked the lock. When you reach the top, you see the templar standing there.
He takes off his helmet and turns around.
"No way!" you think." That's the female Templar, Maria or something! What is she doing here?"
Your conciousness drifts into third person so you can only watch from a distance. You panic. Is this how your ancestor died?
Maria steps toward Altair...
...and he embraces her and they start smooching.
Woah woah WOAH, you think. Wasn't expecting THAT one.
You must have blanked out somewhere...maybe M rated stuff just tends to put you into shock, cuz next you remember, you see Altair and Maria lying on their sides on the straw scattered on the tower top. Altair kisses her on her cheek, and stands to leave.
He jumps onto the ledge and prepares to jump. You leap off with him...
...but wait! Your conciousness remains on the roof! You watch helplessly as your ancestor hurls himself off the tall tower into the waiting straw wagon at the bottom, and you panic.
"Why am I still here with Maria?!" you scream. But of course, no one hears you.
You wonder why you seem to hover around Maria's unswollen belly. But of course, you suddenly suspect that that belly ain't gonna be that flat in a couple of months...
"Oh crap" you think, as the world goes blurry and you see a faint outline of Maria stand up and walk away...
...
...you awake in your room, and the fellow assasin guy who doesn't like you much is sneering at you. "Care to wake up, Desmond, so we can get some WORK done?"
You bite back an insult, mainly because your head is still whirring with the events of that night.

Time to get into the Animus to assume the persona of your italian ancestor Ezio, again.
(It's more fun to be Altair...and I'm NOT talking about getting to sleep with your ancestor's wife.)

I'll be leaving next monday, and I'll be sure not to let some old cheeky guy grab mah rowing paddle and ask "How much for the little girl"
(see last year's post on NZ holiday)

I wonder what we'll be doing.

Anyway, my cousin didn't do very well for PSLE which means he won't be becoming a Rafflesian next year. I suppose it's a case of mixed blessings cuz ...well, the RP isn't actually a bundle of joy and laughter.

THe Raffles family isn't that great. My 'brothers' in the other school and 'sisters' in this school...well, let's just say I would hate to be related to SOME people.
And what are the teachers, then, PARENTS?! Aunts? UNCLES?! Like, Mr Lao would be Great Grumpy Uncle Dan, and Mrs Koh would be...I'm trying to imitate the Kowz kid in Mantaic, (ToV reference here) Miss Naggy McPiggy. (The Kowz called Rita Flatty McChesty, so....)

from class...hm, 413'09! (why that class pops to mind, I don't know.)



Recently I got a new teddy bear from Crabtree and Evelyn, cuz my mom spent a bomb there helping my aunt buy gifts.
So, as most C&E items are, this bear was heavily scented and stuffed with...some kind of herbs and spices and things.
Also, it has been a tradition that all my stuffed toys are named with something begining with the letter 'B'. It is as such because all my earliest toys all started with B. Ben-ben, Brownie, Billie-Jean, Bernut, Blue...so all bears/toys thereafter must also be named as such.

So now there's Bab (korean for rice, that dog that Spectra gave me last year for bdae), Beatrice (a pink C&E bear as well), Benjamin (RL's bdae pressie for me in p6), there's Goldie (she's an exception...) and...i wonder if i missed out anyone.

So I named the new one, Basil
I was wondering whether to call is Basil, as in BEH-zel, or Basil, as in BAH-sil. But my mom said if i called him BAHsil, people would think I didn't know how to pronounce Basil.
So I'll just call him BEHzel, which will be short for Basillicum, which is Basil's name (basil from KHR!) except I'l pronounce it differently. ^^

I suppose then I'm gonna run out of ideas.
My mom suggested Bella (NOOOO), Belle (I thought of BELphagor)...

Never mind

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

I was randomly lookin' through deviantart and i realised that this person who's drawing a ToV doujin did a meme for something called Starfighter. And it was rated Mature, for nudity.

Now, what could possibly be going on?

So i risked a look.
The art was, as usual, pro. But apparently there's two guys called Cain and Abel (?!?!?!?!) and they are like, gay for each other.

So I was wondering, what the HECK is this thing?

The person who did the meme wrote that "Starfighter belongs to (insert picture of deviant here)" so I visited the person's profile.

So Starfighter is some sort of space adventure manga thing (although the art style looks more like the kind of comics that Stef likes to read, not mangaish style. Stef HATES manga style) with explicit yaoi.
I don't know...I mean, the pictures are very scarring. For me, anyway.
And all i saw were snippets.

One deviant commented on the person's profile that: "I've liked yaoi but after reading Starfighter..........my inner fangirl loves yaoi now" or words to that effect.

I don't know...somehow it's just creepy to see guys blushing and acting all submissive. O_O
To me, anyway.

Judith: FINITO. I drew her chibi in her Legendary Gambler costume.



Hm.....forgot what I was going to post.
Anyway, Repede is a hero to both dogs and cats.
...just saying.

Dum dee dum.
Almost completed with my Tales of Vesperia: Chibi and Original Character Study series, which is essentially, utilizing my ToV Character Development book as well as my ridiculous amounts of playing time, drawing all the characters, in chibi AND original, of course.
So far I've completed:
Yuri
Estelle
Karol
Rita.

And I found that page where I phailed drew Awa and Shasha, erased the whole page (I didn't want to tear it out because there was a very cute chibi Dino on the other side) and drew the Arcobaleno.

My Colonello has improved. (no i don't mean Colonello is mine. Colonello's is Amano Akira's. ALternatively you could also say he belongs to Lal Mirch. ^^)
My Reborn looks fine as long as he doesn't show his eyes. And his body.
My Mammon has deproved.
My Verde still looks like a moron with a hedgehog for hair.
Lal looks...uh, well, I cheat. I draw her in the cloak thing, and usually I draw her goggles over her eyes but this time i propped it over her head.
My half-completed Luche shows potential.........of phailing. Reborn is going to kill me.
My Fon looks...slightly shrunken. I'M SORRY FON! TT_TT

Tomorrow we shall (we, being me, my arm, my leg, and Jasmine) be headin' to Sora's house, for a day of Monopoly, Game of Life, Tales of Vesperiaing and probably some running around in weird circles.
...i hope they don't get too hooked on the third one. I like monopoly. (I like pwning everyone by building hotels on the second section, so people go like ZOMG ONION YOU ART EBIL.)

Today I spent about one hour getting lost in that DAMNED Forgotten Shrine of Baction. DAMN.

Today, I went to POPULAR to buy school books. Since we STILL don't know our subj combi, we just bought chinese, socialpath...i mean, social studies, and math.
...Math looks easy. But then, I was looking at E Math.
Since my mom already has the A math book, we didn't have to buy it.
...(shrugs)

Today, I discovered that I really really really really REALLY hate YuriXRita. I also hate FlynnXRita, although somewhat less.
Maybe it was cuz I skipped the whole lemon scene.
Maybe the person just doesn't write Yurita well.
...but then, I haven't encountered a single Yurita that I enjoyed.
...Come to think of it, I hardly enjoy YuriXanyone, except maybe Yulynn.
..O_O
...NOOOOOOOOOO. IT CAN'T BE! (sounds like Rita, when she thought there was a ghost)
But honestly. It seems that the only fics that are any good are Yulynns. Or Flurries. Depending on whether you like Yuri to be seme or uke.
YuriXRaven is highly highly HIGHLY disturbing to the EXTREME.
YuriXDuke...haven't seen any of them.
ZagiXYuri was...scary.
...there WAS this Yustelle/Esturi (which is weird cuz isn't Yuri the seme?!) which was rather nice but it was a lemon. Then there was ...
...
...
...Actually, the T rated Yustelles are kinda crappy.
There was one Justelle (JudithXEstelle) which was EXTREMELY O_O, but then, I've never found a shojo-ai one which WASN'T disturbing.
...that was the first. And the only. And the last, i've ever read.

Today, the love triangle of Raven, Casey, and Yeager was revealed to me.
Casey's bow...
This Casey has STYLE.
Although why she picked Yeager over Schwann is beyond me. i mean, you rather get together with an imperial knight/high ranking member of the Union of guilds who happens to look AWESOME, or get together with a weird guy who's the BOSS of one of the Union's master guilds, but is evil, and speaks with a german accent and acts a bit sissy?!
...
...tough choice.

i hope tomorrow will be fun.

For church I was supposed to compose my Christmas Medley thing, and it's coming along ooookay. But the transitions between songs is a bit crappy, and i have no idea how to link my exuberantly ENTHU Joy to the World with the rest of the comparatively serious and calming songs...like Away in a Manger. like, Dum dum dum asleep in the hay~, and suddenly, JOY TO THE WORLDDDDDD~~~~~
...
...
And they are getting little kids to sing it.
...Oh MANZ, how am I going to pull this off?
>///<

I heard that ToV for PS3 has been released.
And Flynn blushes a lot.
...Damn, no wonder Yulynn is so...feasible.
NO YURI! DON'T LeAVE ESTELLE! TT_TT

diehard Esturi/Yustelle...she thinks. She hopes.

Edith's senior person, Jacen-person, has a funny blog.
But never mind that.

I remember back in JAC class, when I was in Rosyth, and there was Joshua and Esther...
And there was Stanley.
Stanley was out Rosyth junior, and Joshua and Esther were my batchmates, but they weren't in the GEP.
So, I remember that Joshua didn't know my name for a really really long time.
He just knew me as "that girl who's from my school who sits at the electone in front of me".
I remember once Esther said:
"Hey Joshua, do you even know her name?" (pointing at me)
"Uh...uh..."
"You don't? I'm crushed," said I.
He then proceeded to try to grab my music file because my name's written in front of it.
..I think he grabbed a glimpse of it.

I remember he used to call Stanley, "Stanley-guy"
Like,
"Hey, Stanley-guy! DId you do your impro homework?"
"Oi, Stanley-guy! You from which class harh?"
"Oi you, Stanley-guy!"

I remember telling him once,
J: "Oi, Stanley-guy!"
Me: "Uh, why do you have to call him Stanley guy? It implies that Stanley isn't his full name. Why dont you just call him Stanley?"
Stanley: XD
J: >///< Uh, no reason! Stanley-guy sounds nicer what!
Me: (rolls eyes)

I remember Joshua completely pretending he didn't know me...in school, at p5 camp, and...every where outside of yamaha.
not that I cared. He wasn't particularly handsome in any way.

I remember my piano teacher telling me some time last year that Joshua had become more handsome, and he was in Swimming AND badminton.
...I wish him the best of luck.

I remember deleting Esther's number from my hp.
Because I know two other Esthers who appear in my life more often than THAT esther did.

No, i'm serious. I'm not kidding. I honestly, sincerely, burst out laughing.
No offence intended to cosplayers. I only seem to laugh at male cosplayers, though.
Like, there was this guy who looked really really cool, and if you didn't look closely you'd think he was trying to cosplay as David Nassau, except
1) his headband didn't cover one eye, and'
2) ol' Dave doesn't carry a sword.

Yeah, swords. Lots of guys were carrying swords. O_O

The title does not refer to Yuri and Flynn. >_< Ew. It refers to Raven/Schwann, and Casey. ><

The thing about ToV is that almost all the boss fights have something called a Secret Mission. There are 23 in total, and if you complete every single one of them, Yuri will get a costume title from Flynn, which is...
...
..wait for it...
..
...a knight's uniform.

At this point you wonder why Flynn is so evil. I mean, Yuri HATES the Knights with a burning passion of a thousand suns, (no pun intended related to Ryohei's enthu-ness here) and after he works his butt off killing 23 bosses in 23 different weird ways, you give him the uniform of the thing he hates with, like, a burning passion of a thousand Kangaryuus.
...sorry, couldn't resist. ^^ (Uri's more enthu than Garyuu so...uh...)

So, I'm working through my 3rd playthrough trying to do every single secret mission.
THere is just one, just one blahdy one which i can't do.
...Basically:
You are fighting Zagi on a boat.
Your secret mission is to unleash your Over Limit (basically a special stage where you can hit and hit and hit without stopping) while Zagi is in midair, causing him to fall over the side of the boat.
...
...Easier said than done.
in fact, I can do EVERY OTHER secret mission (so far...i'm at about Secret Mission 14) except THAT. ONE. BLAHDY. ONE.
...see why I hate zagi so much?
So, I've been copying notes from the walkthrough, and my mom picked it up and stared at it funny, and said "What is this?"
Me: "Notes...for the game."
My mom: "Why?"
Me: "Cuz...uh, i need them?"

The irritating thing about Secret Missions is that even though they are official XBox Achievments (which means, everytime you finish a mission you get XBox achievment points...no idea what they are for, though), unless you've unlocked them they read as "Secret: Unlock this mission to find out more!"
Which is kinda retarded, cuz IF I UNLOCKED THEM I WOULD ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS RIGHT?!?!

So today's toughest one was when I fought Schwann/Raven. Secret mission is to hit him immediately after he does his Mystic Arte...that really fancy one which is executed while everyone just stands around and gets hit.
Much like stupid mangas/animes.
So.
..walkthrough said, it would be easy, they said you just need to hit with a normal hit, blah blah blah.
...WELL IT'S NOT.
I had to purposely make myself DIE just so I could finish the mission.
Even so, there's no way I'll get to see Yuri in a knight's outfit...cuz of ZAGI.
...DAMN YOU ZAGI.

Anyway if I really wanted to see him in a Knights outfit I just have to watch First Strike. BUT in the movie his outfit is BLUE, but in the game it's the brown and green one...


Anyway.
My dad just brought home ASSASIN'S CREED II.
...I AM SO HAPPY.
...But it's ridiculous. Basically in AC, there's this guy called Desmond Miles. The theory is that every human's memories are transferred through their DNA. Since DNA from the mitochondria is only passed down by the mother...
...Desmond was kidnapped and forced to relive the memories of his ancestor Altair.
Who happens to be arab.
in AC II, he has to relive the memories of his ancestor.
...who is ITALIAN.
...Thus, his mother was the decendant of an Arab assasin AND an italian assasin.
...Wao.
And we thought Gokudera's lineage was interesting.
War between the Templars and the Assasins.
...Desmond is sorta on the Assasin's side, and he's been captured by the Templars.
...this is all modern day, until he gets into his memories, of course.

Templars in today's world? Huh.

--What I should have said, but didn't, in primary school.

A very weird/funny conversation with Yuri and Duke. (I may have gotten some of the bits not exactly right, but the general gist of the convo goes like this.)

(Basically, Duke wants to meet up with this uber impt person called Belius, but can't. He turns to see Yuri)
Yuri: Hey, we keep bumping into each other. Must be fate.
Duke: There is no such thing as fate.
Yuri: You may be right. So, why are you trying to meet Belius too?
Duke: You have no need to know.
Yuri: Is it some guild thing? ...probably not, huh.
Duke: Nothing so vulgar as that.
Yuri: Vulgar? Huh. So what great noble thing are you doing then?
Duke: I need not tell you.
(Duke walks away)
Yuri: What, don't tell me, you're trying to save the world or something.
Duke: .............
(walks away)
Yuri: What is with that guy?

(It's all Yuri's fault for guessing so well.)

ON another note:
Jap songs are weird.
I mean, like Lal's song, and Mukuro's (Burning Prayer and Kie Nai Negai (The wish to not vanish) respectively.), the lyrics is supposed to be quite emo, and yet they sound so...un-emo
And Irie's song is basically a rant about how he has No Control over the events and how he's just trying his best to help Tsuna, and yet HE SOUNDS LIKE HE'S IN A DISCO.

And Sakura Rock is something about 'I'l never see you again" and THEY sound like a bunch of happy hyper sugar-high girls.
...or maybe that's just their personality.

WAUGH.
Well, I wonder if there are any english songs that are equally retarded in terms of mood and tone.
OH DAMN I SOUND LIKE MISS ONG ><

THat's Duke, by the way.



Something I hear too many times:
Come forth O lightning...Receive your punishment...Radiant...MOONLIGHT!

So, I plopped in my earphone into my right ear, cuz having an earphone in an ear with stitches beside it feels a bit uncomfortable.
I pulled out every file that had paper in it,flung the papers to the floor into a stack, and replaced the file back into the file holder.
I pulled out the large stacks of paper between the pockets of my school file, and flung it onto the top of the pile.
I chucked the HUGE stack on TOP of the files that I was SUPPOSED to file throughout the year but never got round to doing, and put it on top of the rather high stack.
Then I nonchalantly threw my recently received exam paper scripts on.

It was...it IS...filing day.

It's about two weeks till I'm heading off to NZ and my mom said I had to file before that. So I did.
...if, you can call it filing.

Basically, what I do is, seperate all the stuff into piles labelled English, Lit, Chinese, Math, Sciences (all of them just junk together), History, Geography and Trash.
Naturally, anything related to Philo, CLE and RS went into "Trash".
...trash.
...Even the exam scripts.

So basically this was how the whole lot was arranged:



Okay, so it was rather fun to try to remember which pile was english and which pile is lit cuz when I put it into files I generally just junk the whole lot. I mean, English language, English lit, the only difference is the second word and even then they have the same first letter! So...what's the difference? ^^

While I flung my geog worksheets against my toy box (I said, DON'T ASK.), I could imagine Mrs Koh yelling at me through Ryohei's Extreme Fight (I was listening to that) about something along the lines of "IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR GEOGRAPHY WORKSHEETS?!"
I couldn't care less what Miss Ong would have said about my junking my philo worksheets into the TRASH! pile.
...TRASH!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
THere was this biiiig stack of philo related articles which I would have loved to read. I have no idea what I did with it.
ANyway, all the TRASH! is in my recycling bin, so...who cares?
...While I was filing, I found something.
"Like, WTH is my P6 Rosyth English paper DOING here?!"
I found this biography I had to do on my dad last time for english.
...Honestly, why am I relearning everything under a crazy teacher who isn't half as fun and understanding as Mr Grosse? Sigh.

I sincerely hope TO THE EXTREME that she won't be teaching me Lit next year. I wonder if Dr Nair will. Then I can finally return him that book before his wife kills him/me/Candy/Samantha/Wanli/All of the before mentioned people.
Dr Nair isn't as great and awesome as Mr Grosse...but then since I haven't exactly been taught under him (i mean, Tribune sessions and RS isn't enough to be counted as 'teaching', right?)

In the meantime, I wonder if any teacher finds this, will I be expelled?
My full name, by the way, is Estellise Hannah Cullen.
...Seriously.
And my class is 214'09.
...have fun trying to find me.
(actually, in the entire school, there's only one person as insane as me.
...and that's me.)

Even though diskets are pretty much neanderthal and no one ever uses them (most CPUs don't even have the disket slot anymore), isn't it funny that the universal sign for "Save" files is always a disket anyway?

Today, I got my cousin Jester to watch Katekyo Hitman Reborn episode one.
Cuz we spent the whole day earlier playing Fish! and this traditional Korean game which is a bit like Five Stones, but then she modified it so you throw the stones into a hand-basket.
...I'm so proud of her. ^^

Anyway, I seriously can't believe that Mochida has Mukuro's seiyu.
...Actually, I can. Only, Mukuro isn't so coarse and stupid.
It's hilarious, rewatching that episode. Tsuna tearing off his clothes and screaming "REBOOORRRRRRNNNNNNN!!!! I WILL CONFESS TO KYOKO-CHAN WITH MY DYING WILL!"
...even more embarressing, is that I can't believe poor Tsuna's seiyu had to say all that...and she's FEMALE.

...Poor her.
..I can't remember her name, but I remember her birthday is 8th February.
I have a knack for remembering people whose birthdays are in February. >< i ego...~

I ACTUALLY WROTE A CHAPTER FOR Discover your Death! BUT FF.NET HAS A PROBLEM AND I CANT EVNE LOGIN TT_TT

Adam and Steve? Ada and Eve? Nah...it's Adam and Eve!



A very...interesting Mystic Arte
Toll the begining of time....BIG BANG!

(it's Duke's, by the way.)


Anyway, I went for the operation today.
It was highly...amusing.

The doctor told my parents to go to the cafe and leave me with him. I guess he more or less saw me as a little kid. He put his arm around me, turned me toward my parents and told me to "Wave bye-bye."
...
Never mind.
Basically before I went inside the nurse put some painkiller cream all over my ear and put on one of those surgical hair net things over my head. Along with a cup of water and uber strong painkiller.
...and I was worried if he had any hair clips to pin up my hair. Huh.
So then while the nurse was preparing stuff he started asking me stuff.
Doc: So how was you exams?
Me: ...I...er...IMPROVED.
Doc: Oh that's good! So what did you do best in?
Me: Uhm, art!
Doc: Art as in...you mean like Lit?
Me: No, as in...visual arts. Like drawing and stuff.
So then he said he was an artist too. And he let me read this book which seems to be exclusive to doctors only and there was this four page article on how the writer went to his house and saw all his paintings and lalala.
His art style is pretty cool. The pictures are more expressionism, but with an element of realism because like, some of them had real looking things and others...didn't.
He seems to like painting stuff with oils on canvas related to singapore and chinese culture. It's really cool.
So then he opens a cupboard and asks me if I want a button to commemorate this operation. So I thought he meant button, as in those things you pin on a hat/shirt/whatever you like to pin them on. Then he took out a box of Gibbits.
If you don't know what a gibbit is, well, you know what those Crocs shoes are right? Those rather loud looking shoes that seem to give you large amounts of static electricity, and mine are bright orange.
...what? I like bright orange.
So gibbits are those cute but really expensive things that you put in the holes.
He takes out a huge box of them, and says he'lll give one to me. So he takes out...
a bunny one.
"it's cute right?"
Me: O_O
I mean, it was rather cute, but...seriously, WHUT?
So I picked this mushroom. It's really really really really really cute too!
It was nice of him to help me put it on the Crocs I was wearing. I would have prefered it to be at the bottom next to my black sheep one, but he just plopped it on top. So now I have a black sheep, a huge flower, and a red mushroom on the top.
...yes, very cute.
Surgery time~
Surgery was done in the clinic itself, and as I keep telling everyone, I was not under GA, so it means I was fully concious. Actually, i wouldn't say "fully". I was trying not to sleep.
I was sitting on a chair much like those you get in dental clinics (he said, "It's a bit like your dad's right? XD). So it was reclined, and almost flat. I was lying at an angle of sorts.
So my legs were covered with this thick blanket (which was good, cuz I was a bit cold) and everything above that was covered with this surgical sheet. (I wondered if I looked like some kind of corpse) There was this rectangular hole in the sheet which was over my ear. I asked why I had to have my eyes covered, and he said it was cuz I would be blinded by the light.
...funny. It didn't seem any more bright than the one in the dental clinic, but my dad never gives me (or any patient) eye protection. I wondered if he was just doing that so I wouldn't freak out.
...Not that I was planning to, anyway.
It's rather frightening to feel pain when you can't see anything. Not that i had to, much.
First I felt a pinprick into my ear, near the hole.
"How bad was the pain? On a scale of one to ten. Was it really bad?"
me: I've felt worse. Roughly...3?
The thing about scales and me, is that 5 is average. So a punch from Sha2 would range at about 6, and falling on the stairs (like i do every two months) and banging my knee against the edge of the stair is about 4 to 5.
Yeah, I'm weird. Or Sha2 is violent.
Then he poked lower. I think he was injecting the painkiller. That was about a 1.
Then he...okay, i didn't feel anything. But i think he poked, cuz he asked again, "feel anything?"
me: ...no..
..I think if I did, I should have been freaking out.
So essentially I spent about 30 minutes or so lying there staring at the ceiling with my right eye (which is the lazy eye, and the worse one) and listening to classical music, as well as snipping sounds from my left ear and a occasional sound of something scraping against ...bone? Cartilage? Muscle?
I felt a very very slight pinch of pain at some point of time and I nearly freaked, cuz with Dr Lau, 'slight pinch' is a hint of 'big big bad bad bloody messy pain' later.
But there was nothing after that. All i could feel was the occasional splatter of some cold liquid (a mix of blood and alcohol swab) and the touch of cold steel against my ear.
Suddenly, he said "We're done."
Me: That's fast.
Doc; Now we just have to do the stitching.
Now i know what a piecce of cloth feels like. I could hear the sound of thread pulling through skin, and I sorta felt the needle but no pain (yay). I heard the thread go in 3 times, and he confirmed it by saying later that he put in 3 stitches.
Well then, okay.

So at the end when he pulled the sheet off my eyes were a bit disoriented. He kept saying I was a good girl and I did well (i think he deals with little kids a bit too often...). He said "Not at all what you expected right? No funny whirring sounds like your dad's clinic."
Well, dentists have their drills and noisy equipment that scares me to death.
So he showed my parents the tract which they took out from my ear. It looked like a small fat bloody sausage.
He said what he did was stain cotton wool with some blue chemical colouring thing and stuff it into the tunnel, then cut out the whole chunk of tunnel.
Later my mom was asking what he meant. I was trying to explain that the blue was an indicator of where to cut. If he cut into something and he saw blue, it would mean he cut into the wrong spot.
...honestly. Both she and I heard the same explanation. Why do I get it faster than she does?

Okay, so my aunt drove me and my mom to my grandmother's house where I am right now, rotting my brains out with facebook and club penguin.
..OH yeah, I have a ridiculously tight bandage around my head which makes me look like I"m wearing a headband. It's squashing my eyes and my mom says it looks swollen. She thought I was crying and the doctor threatened me so I'll shut up.
...seriously.

Why I am not scared of tomoro's operation:
I was bored of being scared.

Reasons not to Cosplay as:
YURI:
1) People will ask "Are you a girl cosplaying as a girl who ressembles a boy who looks like a girl, or are you a girl cosplaying as a girl?"
2) ...the unbuttoned front. (The original design of Yuri had his buttons all buttoned up nicely, but he looked like a RETARD. Maybe it was the belt with the sword tucked into it...)
3) ABOMINATION TO YURI LOWELL!!!! (sorry, that's more of my personal take.)
4) NO ONE CAN MATCH HIS AWESOME HAIR. (well, some may argue that Ryuuken-sama's hair is waay nicer, but only SOME people would say that.)

ESTELLE:
1) PINK HAIR. Everytime someone has pink hair, there's always bound to be people who can't get the colour JUST right.
2) Her personality. Seriously, the person who fits her personality just right is Class Mum.
3) Her ridiculous garb. You'll sweat to death in this climate.
4) ...Her ridiculous garb. You'll look ridiculous.

RITA:
1) Height. I'm too tall. (She is 150 cm)
2) ...the hair. Bound to ruin it.
(Apart from that, I like her clothes.)

JUDITH:
1) You'll probably be arrested for wearing a loincloth.
2) THE HAIR, DAMNIT. All Judith cosplayers ALWAYS screw up the hair (and the feathers)
3) Unless you're not too skinny, not too fat, you'll look HEDIOUS.
4) Do you have elf/Krityan ears?

KAROL:
1) No one wants to.
2) Those who do are usually too tall.
3) And are female.
4) ...just don't look like Karol in the least. (maybe it's the eyes.)
SIDE NOTE: Today, I made Karol dress up as a girl.
...He looks like a cute little girl.
I'm scared/scarred.

REPEDE:
1) ...he's a DOG.
2) Few dogs are blue in colour, can carry knives, understand their owner completely, have a tail like a lightning bolt, worked in the Knights, has battle scars...

RAVEN/SCHWANN:
1) HIS HAIR. OH NOES PLEASE NOT THE HAIR. It's like Abarai Renji's...only it's grey, and it's messier.
2) ....do you actually know any 35 year olds who like Tales of Vesperia enough to COSPLAY as a dirty old man with the personality of Dr. Shamal?!

If I do KHR! characters, here's the basic take:
1) THE HAIR. OH MANZ THE HAIR.
2) THE DYING WILL FLAMES, OH MANZ THE FLAMES.
3) THE EXPRESSION ON THE FACE, OH MANZ THE...okay, yeah. I mean, a happily GRINNING Hibari Kyouya is totally WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!
4) The pervertedness. I mean, there was one picture of a Tsuna and a Mukuro cosplayer...never mind. I couldn't (nor do i want to) see what they were doing.
THey were in a MESS.
