Happy year of the ox! May the new year bring you lots of proeperities and rich boyfriends! XD
I had just returned from my CNY holiday in Ipoh, for the second year running! Well, I won't be going back there for next year's CNY, though. I think Ipoh people have had enough of me, hahahaha!
Like the year previously, we stayed at my friend's house who also got us a car for our use. It's really liberating having to drive ourselves around! We went to two waterfalls! As of now i've had it with waterfalls and their inhabitants. and I'm talking about the local organisms of course. But I get to shampoo my hair in a waterfall and we had our picnic. Really fun. Though I had a hard time removing the local organisms stuck to my pants afterwards. Four people in a Kancil is pretty cool hahahaha. I drove all the way from town to the waterfall, which was about a one hour plus, almost two hours drive, non-stop. My foot ache by the end of it, but it got to soak in the cool water afterwards, so reward well-earned!
Of course, we change drivers on the way back.
There was practically no proper facility at the waterfall. So although my friend paid 50 cent each for three people to get into the toilet, I was too bummed by the queue that we just changed clothes at the car. We just got out of our wet pants and into dry ones and drove away. On the way to town, we stopped at a petrol station and changed the rest there. Pretty genius if I may say so myself. XD
We also watched two movies while we were there. Seems like my friend couldn't watch movies in decent cinemas in Shah Alam that she had to go all the way to Ipoh to watch movies. I'm not complaining, though. I love the cinema at Pavilion :D.
I'm happy to be back to an empty house, but I pity my friend who's living in Ipoh. Her next door neighbour is a psychotic spinster, who is quite literally, crazy. She banged on our door just because we parked the car several inches too deep into her plot. Even though even if we remove the car, our plot would be bigger and there's no way her relative could park there without getting into our plot. But of course, she wouldn't listen and went and called us idiots. Moral of the story; never argue with a psychotic spinster. Throw eggs at them. :P
Ta'ra!

Of Projects and Clubs
I like arts and craft. :/ It doesn't matter that other people can make a crafts project better than me. Unlike what most people assume of me, I am not a very creative or artsy person at all. I may be able to get my ideas in drawing better, but I always lack the final touch that makes everything perfect. I will get it 80% but by the time I reach 100% it just looks kinda dull. Sighs. But that never stopped me from pursuing my crafts project. Be it just wrapping presents or wrapping tissue boxes for reuse.
This semester I am tempted to start a Hobbie Project Club (name yet decided) just to give me some crafts project to look forward to every two weeks. Or maybe I just like to do something nice and creative and artsy and want an outlet to show them off. No matter how good or bad. But I had just been stomped with the realization that in addition to my thesis, I have to do my ISP module (Industry Specialist Professional). 1/2 of my thesis should be completed within this semester while my ISP needs to be completed within this semester. Oh! My project!
I hope I can start working when this semester ends. I really need to start saving for my graduation trip. ...Talking about trips, I really, really, really, really want to go to Pulau Redang this year. Really! But people are all so useless...the old adage where you can't rely on anyone but yourself holds tall and true T_T.
Consider this scenario, and this was a true scenario. I swear, I feel like muzzling this person each time I think about it.
Scenario 1: This friend asked me to go to the movies after she turned me down once and I was pissed. So I said okay, but you have to decide the movie and time. So on the specified date, I woke up earlier than usual, and waited for her call.
None.
Pissed, I sms.
Me: "So what time?"
Friend: "I don't know. I don't have a newspaper."
Me: "Check online?"
Friend: "I don't have Internet."
Me: "Call the cinema?"
Friend: "I don't know the number."
By now I was already reaching for the mullet.
Really, useless people annoy me.

True Taurean
A Taurean likes stability. My slightly more detailed chart reading even revealed that I am grounded and do not like temporary things. My chinese zodiac is the same. My element is earth. Not that I actually believe these things tell the future, but I found the study of meta-physics interesting at how, sometimes you may even find some directions in life in them.
And I cannot be more fascinated by the fact that all of my zodiac readings have pointed out to one, occuring thing: Aversion to the temporary.
This cannot be more true, even before I started getting interested in astrology.
I do not like temporary things. I rather use real plates and glasses than paper cups, paper plates and God forbid, plastic! Not only does this harm the environment, it wastes money on the long run too.
I do not like temporary situations. I stay at home rather than the hostel because it's not permanent. No matter how nice decorate it, I would feel dismayed to know that it doesn't belong to me and eventually I would have to move. And the fact that I have no control over who my housemates are depressed me. I always wanted to study overseas, but that means staying at a rented place and well, that explains everything, really.
And as I've mentioned before, I am currently studying Japanese. I saw some courses being advertised to 'further study in Japan' at our language school and was intrigued for about a minute. Then the notion of temporariness overwhelmed me and I gave it as much interest as I would a sea urchin. I like how my current classes now go. Not only is the time and location convenient, but it's also because sensei resides in the country and will be around a while and may be contacted anytime. I don't have any classmates I care to hang out with outside of class, but I do care what sensei thinks of me. And since I also do not like temporary relationships, I would be the first to secure long-term connection and communication with someone I feel interesting or like. Which means, people I do not connect/ have no interest in/ do not care, I ignore completely. In our next meeting, do not expect me to even look at you. In my cellphone I have only two people from my Japanese class: sensei, and another student. And I only sms that other student at the start of a course to ask him our course number.
Cell phone numbers are first, but if that person resides outside the country, then email comes next, and of course, home address. I thought I would have no use of home addresses, but I recently found the pleasures of snail-mailing.
Perhaps I am looking too far into a relationship. Business relationships are different, of course, but when it comes to personal relationships, if I feel we won't be able to be friends for a long time I do not even bother being nice. I admit I am nice, just not friendly. These are two different things. Well, that's probably why I'm still single. sighs.
Ta'ra.

A Brave New World
Tomorrow I will go to my first class of the semester. Yeah, it started last week so sue me. They weren't very precise about it either. Stupid coordinator girls. I hate your glasses.
It should be a known fact by now that I rather enjoy boys love manga. And since I have admitted to being a delayed reaction still-in-denial pervert, that should goes to show that I have a high tolerance (of the drooling level) towards the genre's graphic contents. In anime, rare as they are, the smut are toned down considerably. If you see movements in the anime, it meant that in the manga everything is in full detail. So if you are not a seasoned reader, it will gross you out and call us fangirls perverts. Nothing new, really.
When choosing a title though, it's easy to guess what explicit level the contents are based on the age rating.
Ages 13+ = You are lucky enough to see kissing as the most 'graphic'. Other than that it's probably shonen-ai, and not yaoi.
Ages 16+ = Kissing. For certain. Maybe smut scenes, but either it's only a suggestion of it, and perhaps only showing the upper body or none at all. Rest assured that they do not show parts for this age group.
Age 18+/Mature : You will see parts and other things in full detail. Well, as full as the author let on, but yes, there will be full-body smut and ...well, need I say more?
As for me though, I overrid all three age groups hehehehe.
If choosing online, the criterias are as follows: Shounen-ai, Soft yaoi, Yaoi, Hard Yaoi. Let me pair them up with the age groups.
Age 13+: Shounen-ai, soft yaoi (authors: Hotaru Odagiri, err...)
Age 16+: soft yaoi, yaoi (example authors: Hasumi Toui, Ohya Kazumi)
Age 18+: Yaoi, Hard Yaoi (example authors: Nakamura Shungiku, Minami Haruka, Youka Nitta)
Publishers may get confused sometimes and are not sure how to label them correctly, but who can blame them? But between June and Blu, I prefer Blu. Books are smaller and steamier hehehehe. On that note, I noticed none of Minase Masara's books are licensed while Hyouta Fujiwara is like the darling of the American publishers.
I can just imagine the amount of hits I would get from people looking for yaoi stuff ending up here. Sorry to lead you astray, but go to Here or Here if you're a fan of Minase Masara like me :D.
So far, the most graphic have been confined to manga and to clear up the misperceptions, yaoi and hentai are not in the same category. Yaoi are primarily boys love, featuring a malexmale relationship and is only graphic in manga. It should be noted that the main audience are girls above 16 years old. The age groups are higher than the shoujo variety, therefore you do not see yaoi fans squealing like an adolescent at every gay couple they encounter. On the other hand, hentai features heterosexual relationships and gives graphic contents at all times. If it doesnt have a smex scene it is not hentai. The biggest difference is that the audience are primarily guys. If you have seen any hentai anime, you would notice that it always have a girl giving head to a guy. The girl would be so charmingly cute, would have the face of a ten year old, but is actually 16. Another big difference is that, yaoi always have romantic story lines. 80% of hentais are meant only to have the audience ejaculate at least once throughout the story. And I find it hard for girls to ejaculate, seeing as we lack the right appendage.
Therefore, I find it highly descriminating that guys can enjoy hentai and it's normal while girls can't enjoy yaoi because it's 'not normal'. It's because it's not normal that girls enjoy them. Fans of yaoi are always ex shoujo fans but then we got tired of seeing the big-eyed energetic bright and happy schoolgirl chasing the angsty handsome guy in class, get hurt, and get incredibly happy just by being rewarded his 'shy, warm smile'.
Makes me sick.
After the streams of shoujo where girls throw themselves at the handsome guys who would break up with them unless they agree to have smex, I rather enjoy seeing guys fumbling over themselves. It's a sort of revenge. After all, reverse-harem genres get kind of old and dry with the same heroine over and over again.
And why do shoujo titles have to go on for so many volumes anyway? Why can't they just wrap it up in one or two tankoubons?
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Hana-Kimi and Ouran High School Host Club, but as usual, the stoicisim of the intended's personality just irritated me after a while.
Anyway.
I have always wondered if they would make a Jdrama out of boys love mangas and apparently they do. I was still trying to figure out if I can calmly watch as two men kiss. Real people, and not anime. And given the acting skills of Japanese actors, or idols, (and no MatsuJun cannot act! Even the 3/4 of the F4 could act better than he could.) since it won't be too far-fetched to assume that these actors do more than just act. Like singing and modelling. I could probably take shounen-ai, but yaoi?
And just as I was pondering this, several titles hit me. For instance, the Takumi-kun series was made into a Jmovie. I don't know the actors. Totchi probably knows. But I don't care. But seeing as how it was Age 16+ it would probably only contain kissing if ever. While I quite like intimate interraction, I wonder if they will go so far as kiss. I saw guys kiss before and it quite unnerved me. My boundaries havent included that yet. After all, because it was not normal and entirely fictional that girls like yaoi. It is common knowledge that real-life gays are not like those boys in yaoi mangas. You didn't think we didn't know that did you?
I am surprised at myself that I managed to get this far using only one uncommon japanese word. You can easily find out what a tankoubon is though.
While I'm at it, I absolutely loath those blogs where people use incomprehensible street language to type. Seriously. It just shows your level of intelliegence, or lack thereof. The former is truer. Dropping the occasional Japanese words like 'dakara' and 'gomen ney' doesn't make it look like you actually know Japanese. It just makes you look like a wapanese (Japanese wanna be). It irritates me yet I still go visit these blogs to mentally make fun of these people. Because let's face it, putting other people down makes you feel superior. I am a mean person and that's what mean people do. So suck it up.
Ta'ra!

Commendable Behavior
Today I'm supposed to go to college for registration. But because I was too lazy and woke up well into the afternoon, I didnt go. After all, anytime within the week is fine anyway. And besides, I have class later tonight. I don't like rushing back all the way from Puchong.
As usual, sensei was very genki in class. We talked about what we did on New Year and Christmas and I showed her the belly dancer video I took in Singapore hehehehehe. I definitely scored points there hehehehehehehee. She asked around what we wanted for 2009 and I let slip that I wanted to work at Kinokuniya because the apron was cute.
Well, what more reason do you need anyway?
I gave her the souvenir I got in Singapore at the end of class. I've always thought of giving her one of those keychain clocks with the cat and fish charm. I'll put a picture later. Nonetheless, it is very cute hehehehe. I spent my precious SGD on them, so they must be good. Call it ass-kissing (a behavior I am not opposed to) but I seriously just wanted to get her a souvenir so I will not be forgotten and so she could show off to her friends that she has students who gave her nice souvenirs all the time and they all envy her XD hehehe. Then she'd be prouder to have me as a student.
Vain, I know. But that's pride.
As expected, the SGD-MYR exchange rate here sucks really bad. While in Singapore I got 2.41 while here the best I could get was 2.365! I'm supper pissed!
I just exchanged only half of my leftover SGD because I believe that SGD should be spent in Singapore, though they make good cash reserves. Especially since daddyo hadnt given me my allowance yet. Sighs.
My family did some 'cleaning' around the house and left me a little disoriented. Really, I have personal stuff lying around and they just put them up wherever they want. This left me seriously confused, disoriented and frustrated; a bad combination.
On a lighter note, I'm now a editor for hire. For a small fee, I will check your grammars for you, how do you like that?

Busy December
This december had decidedly been my busiest yet. I did the same amount of flying as I would a semester. Normally I would just sit at home for the whole month eating, sleeping, having fun and wearing the same clothes everyday. But it's the holiday season so why waste it?
I went home at the beginning of my holiday, then came back to continue my Japanese lessons, then went back again for Raya Haji, then came back to KL with Totchi. Then I went to Singapore with my fmaily and went straight home to Kuching after that. I stayed for a little over a week and had just returned to KL tonight. Singapore pictures.
We went to Clarke Quay during Christmas day. Very pretty place. Went for the cruise. Nice view.
There were a couple of belly dancer performers at the Persian restaurant we went. Nice food, nice entertainment. hehehehehe.
Orchard Road on Christmas Eve. Foam spray wars abundance. Didn't get sprayed this time so was lucky.
Getting showered on the streets, indeed.
Some of the decorations at the malls. Really, we go to Singapore for Christmas solely for the decorations.
Oh and my sleeping place for the first two nights. I volunteered to sleep on the floor for two nights since there were only two beds for three people and there wasnt enough space for an extra bed. I was comfortable enough since I have my lover with me. You can see him poking out of the sheets.
And what else to do in Singapore but shop? I bought two PSP games there. Tekken Dark Resurrection sold for only $33 at Mustafa Center while I could only get Crisis Core for $60 at Lucky Plaza around Orchard. I didnt plan to buy it, but since I wouldnt be satisfied unless I buy at least one more game, I got that one even though Watashiwa-san gave me her pirated copy hehehe. I did say I wanted to get it right?
Their Esprit is awesome. And next time, before you leave singapore, make sure you either convert or spend your Singapore dollars because you get much better exchange rate in their home country. After all, logically, everyone wants to maximize their own currency right?
Ipoh for Chinese New Year!
Ta'ra! XD
