finally found time to blog about my trip to China. Damn boring. two pieces of advice if you're headed there:
1. DO NOT go at this time of year. The fog is so thick you can't see 5 metres ahead of you.
2. bring a gas mask. There, everybody smokes. and smoking is allowed indoors, too T.T
anyway, recently been experimenting with MikuMikuDance and Vocaloid2. Vocaloid2 is a bitch to use...but Hatsune Miku sounds so cute, so who the hell cares? I think I'm going to watch Rozen Maiden next. H2O was AWESOME.
oh yeah, I'm starting Jap lessons this Sunday wish me luck XD.

Changed my blogskin.
Just attended AFA'09 yesterday. BLOODY AWESOME!!!!!though waiting for 4+ hours was kinda boring.
The bad:
-I am now addicted to Hatsune Miku
-I attended on day 2, which meant that most of the good stuff(Read: things to do with touhou) were gone. :(
-I got bored after waiting for 3+ hours
-Shawn had to leave halfway
The good:
-I am now addicted to Hatsune Miku
-My best use of $65 ever.
-We beat the suckers who had to wait 2+hours to get in by queuing up 2 hours before doors opened
The great:
-I am now addicted to Hatsune Miku
-COSPLAY. FREAKING EVERYWHERE
-Concert was bloody awesome XD
The Best:
-MAY'N!!!!!!
-I am now addicted to Hatsune Miku
Anyway, I bought the least stuff out of us three lol. My loot list:
-1 Tenshi X Suika doujin(festival of making friend) (cameos of Komachi + Aya) + 2 bookmarks($10)
-3 Hatsune miku badges($3 each, $9 total)
-1 chibi hatsune miku bookmark($1.50)
-1 Clannad Pencil board($10)
-1 Shakugan no Shana postcard($4.50)
-1 chibi Hatsune Miku sticker($1.50)
-10 Hatsune miku prints(varying from $2 to $5 each, $17 total)
-3 prints of characters I don't know, but whose artwork looks AWESOME($4 each, $12 total)
YAY. Going to save up $400 for next year so I can get more stuff. and figma. and the $250 marisa figma. Beat that Valen.
On a seperate note, there was a very scary amount of Quuen's Blade products at AFA'09. shiver.

Apologies for the lack of posts. I've been busy trying out random games. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G was a B***h to get, but I succeeded and I must say, It was worth it. The holidays were pretty busy for me, what with my EP3, but I still managed to finish my homework. lol.
btw, Daniel. If you're reading this, I hope you get well soon. Don't get too stressed or emo lol.
Finally, Gundam 00 2nd Season. I watched it over the hols and I say that Setsuna undergoing Innovation is an interesting twist. But then again, Who am I to judge? I've only watched about 7 anime series so far. I have much to learn.

Sorry for the previous 2 postless weeks. I've been busy studying for my exams and playing Musou Multi Raid. Awesome game!;) Anyway, my past week has been normal, except for the passing away of my grandfather yesterday. Let us observe a minute of silence in his memory...
Okay minute's up. Daniel is still making me feel useless and horrible. Damn it.

Hurry up and join the "If 1000 people join this group, Edward will get a girlfriend" group on Facebook! If you know who's Edward, then good(I don't) if not, just join for the heck of it.
On a completely more unimportant note, I did my Lit test very badly... I finished Question A then had not enough time to do Question B. My expected score:13/25.
But anyway, Sign into Facebook and Join that group today!!!!!

I just came back from watching UNDER PRESSURE:THE MUSICAL(henceforth known as UPTM)at my school's drama centre. I had a good laugh at a lot of parts in the play, and the Emo Kid reminded me of a certain classmate of mine.
The Analogies used were...interesting, to say the least. e.g. I wish that my life was like a computer keyboard, with a Ctrl key and a Esc key.
also, there were one or two direct transliterations of Chinese Idioms. 猪朋狗友 became Pig Friends Dog Friends, lol.
The playwright apparently had a weird sense of humour though. An example of what is considered a joke:
(teacher comes in)
Teacher:We have a class test today
(class groans)
Teacher:Actually, we don't have a class test today
(class erupts into cheers)
Teacher:YOU have a class test today
...
However, I liked the choice of music. Mostly Queen songs with one or two Beatles songs thrown in.
A running gag in the show is that one of the girls will constantly screw up her hand actions. e.g.
"listen"
(points to mouth)
"to him"
(points to heart)
"speak"
(points to ears).
Another running gag would be a guy randomly running across the stage, occasionally interrupting the most romantic moments.
From the actor's perspective, though, a lot of improvement could have been made. Voice projection of the actors was virtually nonexistant, with the actors relying on wireless microphones instead, leaving them dazed when the mikes screwed up. But I like the script, as well as the props made for the show. I could see a lot of effort put into the script, even if there were some lame jokes in it.
All in all, it was an okay show, an 8/10 in my book. Oh yeah, and the members of the debate club, on the other side of the drama centre, decided to interrupt during the intermission announcement made by the MC, Chuang Yin(don't know what's his name, henceforth known as CY)by shouting out "CY WE LOVE YOU!!!!!" randomly. They also repeated this when CY was announcing the end of the show. Oh well, Back to mugging for my Geog and History for Monday's test.
