handsomeOMGGGGG, 11th May please come faster. On second thought, 13th May please come faster! (Book get published in Taiwan on the 11th, now that I'm ordering online, Fedex deliver in two days, so, 13th COME FASTER~)

I'm totally nuts about this series now. Not only did it have the most awesome main character ever (in the way that everything about him suit my taste, from the way he look, his personality, characteristic, and all the way to how he talk and act and dress*) it always end the volume in a cliffhanger, which of course makes me yearn to read on.

The best and worst part is it update monthly without fail, so while you're happy there's a fix date for the next update, its agony waiting for the 4 weeks to pass. For other series it like, you'll never know when the next update will be so there's no point mooning for it and it will soon get thrown to the back of my head and I stop yearning (until the news about the update comes out of course)

The thing is, did you see the cover?! He's smiling! SMILING. Which is never seen before, EVER. He always frown due to all the troublesome things he get drag into and having to save the people around him however reluctantly. So after 20 volumes, 5 of which he's on the cover (3 solo, 2 co-existing with other ppl), we finally get to see how he look like when he smile!

But ok, if he always smile like an idiot maybe I won't have like him so much anymore...LOL

*Ok, why do I like the way he dress? I don't mean just the clothes he wears, but of course that's one of the main point. The thing is, he's covered from head to toe, from clothings to accessories to weapons and belongings, in TREASURE. Like, super valuable, useful, rare items that pwn everything else.

For example, I will explain only the clothes, which everyone can see from this cover. He's wearing 2 layers, one outer robe and one inner robe. The inner robe is like the ultimate treasure of clothing while the outer one is just rare and valuable, obviously not as much as the inner one and he uses it to cover up.

Outer robe: Made from the skin of some fire-creature so its fireproof and un-burnable, in fact, burning it cleans it.

Inner robe: Made from some super rare material, super thin and weightless, fireproof AND waterproof, as well as ice-proof. Keeps you warm in the cold and keeps you cool in the hot, un-damageable (repairs itself immediately with any wear or tear), keeps wounds closed and stop all bleeding.

People have a blast of a 21st birthday, I have a pretty normal one... Half sucky, if you count the time spent at work zzz.

But it was pretty alright before and after work, I guess. Had MacDonald for breakfast and Swenson for dinner (and then with their ice cream for dessert after~) Sushi for lunch at Plaza Sing the day after as well, ala carte, super ex ):

Prizes from this birthday include one diamond necklace (thanks mom~), red packets and a purse (thanks Shiyun~). And some novels and clothes I bought for myself using money from the red packets hur hur. By some I meant 10 novels by the way.

And of course, we must not forget my cake. Especially its glorious cost of near S$200. I think I can name it the most expensive birthday cake in my life =="

11:32:00 PM


I feel totally miserable, stuck at work whole day ):

My wallet is bleeding profusely today.

I know its all because of myself, and its for myself, but still...damn the birthday cake! So ex ):

And then books! Again! Shipping straight from Taiwan! LOL this time 10 books total, and cost twice as much as last time ):

But its definitely worth it cuz the shipping fare/book is reduced overall by quite a lot. I bought 4 manga this time, and I must say, buying manga is not nearly as worth it as novels... It exchange to about $7.50/bk after add in the respective shipping fare, so it cost more than what kino sell. But I don't mind for this particular series, which end at vol 5 and which I already have vol 1; because this series got banned in Singapore soon after I spotted and grab vol 1 =="

As for the rest of the 6 novels, 3 of them is <幻龍奏想> starting from the vol that I haven't read before (can't find online yet) until the latest! And the price for one book is only about $9.50 ^.^ (totally worth it, because the cheapest novel I could find in kino is already $11+)

The other 3 novels I got are all one-shot, or only have 1 vol so far which sounds promising...Hope they won't disappoint me~ (:

And I'm hoping (with some calculation of the shipping time from the previous time, but not sure how accurate it is) for them to arrive on thursday, like a present :D

Recently getting lazier and lazier to do my own nails lol. Then even if apply, just put base colour never put design cuz I get sleepy doing it!

Some more I discover it chips off easily, but does not come off easily when using nail polish remover to remove =.= chip one nail, remove 9 to change new colour...very tiring leh. Dunno is cuz my remover not strong enough or what, but I got buy "strong" de alr T.T

And even if apply top coat still so easily chip off is why???????? ):

Thinking of going towards the usage of UV acrylic gel like they do in salon, but not quite sure where to get or how to use, it sounded complicated... Not to mention possibly needing the UV machine to dry (which cost a lot as well zzz) And then, finally, still need acrylic gel remover!!

I not so rich la sian.

I want nail polish that last at least 10 days without chipping~!!!

Sundays shall be known as Movies Sundays for me from now onwards lol.

I spent whole day doing nothing but sit on sofa watch movie, managed to watch 3 today.

Regretted watching Watchmen!! I was totally traumatized lar =,= Worst of all, I spent 3 hours plus getting traumatized where I could be watching 2 other movie to make myself happy zzz.

Word of warning to everyone: DO NOT WATCH WATCHMEN not unless you enjoy much gore and violence caused by ugly guy, nerd guy and creepy insane guy.

Watched Narnia 3 - The Dawn Treader as well. Wasn't planning to watch it til I heard Peter had a cameo appearance in it (he's like the only guy I like inside, plus its also my fav character in the entire Narnia series) And come on, a cameo appearance in a movie? It translate to 3-5 minute appearance in my opinion. I mean, its a movie, its extremely long. The truth? Not even close. Try 10 second of appearance, and that's me being generous =.=
3-5 minutes is like describing Aslan (who's suppose to be impt...)

They totally could have used a cute guy for Eustace, the new character, too. This movie also can't compare to the first 2 in the magical department, while the 2nd itself the plot already can't compare to the 1st; the quality is dropping so much I think the next installment will be a totally waste of my time...

But okay, it successfully made me sad, because no more Lucy and no more Edmund after this = no more Pevensie children at all = only Eustace left to look at in future (see above comment about him) And the fact that Reepicheep dies make me super upset too! Love him, so cute lol. It was in the format of him going to explore Aslan's country. Sound so nice right? But NO, the truth is that that place is where they go after they die, so its basically Reepicheep committing suicide. He's such an awesome mouse can ):

The 3rd movie I watch is The Vampire Assistant. And erm, it was...okay? I read book 1 once and I think they change quite a few things but I'm not that great a fan of the Darren Shan series and forgot most of what I read already anyway so I didn't treat this movie as adaption. If not, sure a lot of compare and complain lol.

AND THEN I watched xxxholic Rou OVA2. It made me cry so much~ It's really time to say goodbye to xxxholic forever ):

Painted my nails light-green at night (wanted to put green ribbons so use this colour to match), then got so sleepy I went to lie down and...no ribbons... The result is 3 nails smudged! But no choice... Sleep more impt lol.

My books. Published 13th April in Taiwan. I pre-ordered...and...

Estimated delivery Apr 15, 2011 by 12:00 PM

OMGGGGG 2 days, really? I think I'm gonna pre-order for the rest of the books if this is the case. Except I don't know how reliable Fedex is about time accuracy...And my house will be empty after 11:30am. So the troublesome thing is that I might not be able to get it when they deliver to my doorstep and I have to arrange some other means of collection :S

I am so clever XD

The reason I can't find <幻龍奏想> anywhere online is cuz....................the author change title!!!!!!! By right, many Taiwan authors always post their work on blog, or somewhere, wait til it garners enough popularity and attention from publisher then publish their work de. So I was damn emo plus feel weird when cant find anything on <幻龍奏想>

So I went and search the author's name instead. And got 2 work under the name, both of which is not <幻龍奏想> but I just click the one whose summary look familiar enough and~STRIKE~!

The old title is like so weird and got nothing to do with the story, 180 degree difference from <幻龍奏想> such a cool name also lar HAHA

Got 5 vol of it online already, so I read them all. And enjoyed :D

But don't have 6 and 7 emo. And I found out 8 will be coming out 21/04, so tt's 3 more books I wanna read but wont get to read for dunno how long ):

*

On a side note, I wanna blog about this guy from my work place...very weird...and dunno what to make of him. Always got a friendly demeanor, but from what I observe, also very easily anger and irritated. Then when he is angry or irritated he speak in this tone that sort of say (in my opinion), 'I'm right you're wrong so don't argue with me just sit there accept my scolding'. The thing is, he is manager, on top of that, the boss's son...so... @.@

Ok la, so far I only see him scold ppl, but scary enough. Plus whenever I ask him to confirm some details he always got a pek chek look which seems to portray 'why are you bothering me with such small things', yet he will answer in a friendly tone, though the words sound unfriendly =="

For example, "Ok, this is XXXXXXX, understand? Ok, thank you, good bye, have a nice day, see you." Say all quickly in one sentence without stopping like can't wait to get rid of me, and don't wanna answer any more question, and the tone is final. And it's in a friendly, cheerful kind of voice. But I definitely feel the unfriendly undertone lo...imagination? I hope so, but sadly I don't think so.

His favourite phrase is also "can you understand what I'm saying?" which he will always repeat a lot of time (like, once after every sentence he speak) when talking to other ppl even after they say understand. It seems to me like he think they don't understand at all...or more like, they cannot comprehend what he say because its all too chim for them...

Ok ok, before I know it its been almost another month already, without any updates. (Not like a lot of ppl reading, so I don't really care either way) But seriously, not much to blog about because all I've been doing is go work, go home, go work.

Time passed both very slowly and very quickly. Slowly cuz everyday at work I feel that it's slow. But quick because its so mundane that days blurred on and its been a month by thte time I realize...

Sometimes I wonder what the heck am I doing by doing office work after studying digital media. I missed video stuff, like, more than I expect =.= I'm super sian of office work already. Not to mention office wear!!!!

The only plus point is pay :D though its not very high pay lar ==" but better than nothing. Because I was seriously reaching the point of drinking north-west wind... And then, with pay, comes the urge to buy things, especially after I sign up for ibanking and debit card........................LOL

Of course the first thing that come to my mind is my taiwan books/novels collection :P but those that I want are those that I can't find in kino, those that I want and can be found there all I buy already lol. So the only other way to get them is through taiwan bookstore website!! But the shipping fares is like; if I buy one book, twice as expensive than my book, if i buy 3 books, same price as 3 books ): so I held back and didnt buy any so far.

AND THEN I SPOTTED THIS http://www.books.com.tw/activity/2011/04/ln/

(I wanna meet with the authors too~but I don't live in Taiwan..sobs...)

And I WANT THOSE FREE GIFTS, especially the mini badges. Plus 2 books of series I've been collecting is coming out next week, so I ordered!!! Despite my heartbreak lol. The extra ex shipping fares will be thought of as cost for the goodies...LOL

I found quite a few interesting new titles under one of the categories they listed out too (my fav genres combined~ crossover+fantasy so that I don't even have to look at different places) but that's just from the titles, drawings and summary alone la. Don't really know if its really good or if its worth it to buy...

<幻龍奏想> sounds interesting enough. And got 7 vol so far. Never saw at kino before. So its like, if buy, should buy all 7 tgt (save shipping fares) but if turns out not good then die. If buy only 1, and turns out to be good, then I will waste double amount of shipping fares to get 02-07 and add in the agony of waiting!!! The worst thing is, can't even find anywhere online to read it...

Of course got a few other titles, but those I found online version :D reading one of it at the moment in itouch :P but got 1 read abit n discover not so nice so luckily never make any rash decision haha

And then some other titles like <月上重火>, <幻世異走話談>, <裡.八仙> sounds really promising too but same worries as <幻龍奏想>... BUT I went and bought one of the promising titles anyway...<日落後>, but it was only after I paid then continue browsing that I realize this one also got 6 vol...>.< tot only 1...haiz

And sobs. The shipping fares really too much lar!!
