I'm not dead

I won't even say how long it's been since my last entry. Cos I don't know anyway xD.

Blogspot should seriously make a mobile version of this site. I mean, this is such a popular service and all... I could still blog from my iPod (and now, my awesome new phone) when I was still using 360, but the coding on this site doesn't allow me to use a mobile device =.=" .....

Lots of stuffs have happened...can't remember them all....

I bought lots of official Hatsune Miku stuffs. I'm gonna stay away from all the doujin (read: fan-made) stuffs I think. There are a lot more awesome Miku figurines being released in a few month's time, but all of them are already sold out.....sigh... (yes stuffs can be sold out through pre-ordering before they're even released...)

There was Comic-con some weeks ago. Nothing much, I just felt it was freaking random. Graphic artist, comics, Takashimaya (?!?!), anime merchandises, GI Joe (?!), cosplay, Singapore Zoo (?!?!?!?!), yeah you get the idea xD.

I bought a few books on manga drawing. Good stuffs, but not great. And they're not worth the money either (around $35 each). They don't really go to the basics, the instructions are really not detailed at all, and most importantly, the style of drawing is really not what I wanted to see at all. Should have seen this coming....a book on drawing manga written by westerner.....

Then just last weekend, I attended this manga drawing workshop I signed up for some damn long time ago... Honestly I wasn't looking forward to it. I mean, then I already had more or less some basics from the book I bought, and the workshop costed $60 xD. The date was moved once, so was the location. Then they informed us we must bring our own material instead of them providing us with materials =.=.....things just kept getting worse. Well, I still went for it anyway. Then I discovered I had some effing good luck *evil laugh*. The small class size (4) was a surprise. There were me, and *scream!!* 3 other girls xD. And the sensei was a girl too (and a really pretty one at that *blush*). And don't know if I was being over-excited because of the tiny exposure to girls I have been suffereing from or whatever, but I was really enjoying the class. $60 or whatever didn't really matter anymore, the workshop was something to die for. And I'm glad I sort of dressed up for it a bit, would have embarassed myself to death it I had worn my usual all-purpose combination of Tee-shorts-slipper xD (that was close hehe). Really did not regret wearing my super informal cool awesome there's-no-pocket-or-buttons black shirt and my everyone-told-me-it-looks-damn-cool pair of trousers and my so-cool-you-can't-find-it-in-Singapore Converse shoes. And it didn't seem like I over-dressed (haha), eventhough everyone had more casual clothes on the second day of the workshop (replaced the shirt with a nice tee). Now I'm wondering if I should really have worn all-black though, since according to Jill&Lowe Ltd, "Wearing all-black gives off an unfriendly aura". Ah never mind that.

Now moving on to the more academic stuffs...

My GPA for this time was 3.43. Lower than what I had initially aimed for (at least 3.6) but considering my low GPA at the beginning of the year, this was a good improvement (2.89 -> 3.6 yay). I had this mixed feeling of being both proud and disappointed kind of thing. Like it was good but I could have done even better. Like that time when our CCA got Gold instead of Gold with Honor.

I did pretty well for that Chem CCT last week. And for reasons I'm too lazy too explain, the weightage for that CCT was freaking big. So my 4.0 for Chem is (almost) assured. Physics CCT is coming up this Thursday, and since I've mugged quite a hell lot for it (read through all the notes, done all the revisions given, read through text book), I think I'll do really well for this xD. This feel strange haha, "I'll do really well for it" instead of "Oh shyet what are being tested for the CCT tomorrow??".

Ok that's all for now, I'll try to blog more frequently from now. Time to get back to CEP lesson xD
