Right now...

I feel like doing that *points to pic above* to someone =___=;;; honestly... 4 illustrations in the span of 2 days and now I have less than 7 hours to complete the Le Noir Name. Not to mention, I have my part time in the morning until 5 PM followed by a trip to the printers and the Name meeting. That is if I can get the name done in time. *sigh*

This is a slow and painful way to die. （￣へ￣;; ）

Far Beyond the Sky

I apologize for the lack of updates recently. (￣▽￣)ノ My wonderful 100%-oh-so-truly-Malaysia-Boleh internet line has been failing me by being tsundere with me 80% of the time.

Soon after fellow GAR member, Kat took off to continue her adventures of exploring manga in the land of the rising Sun, I was further motivated to pursue my own path in the industry and the past few weeks have been surveying more scholarship programs and been taking Intensive courses to take the necessary steps to further my studies in Japan myself. (ﾟｰﾟ)(｡_｡)ｳﾝｳﾝ

Initially I thought I'd have trouble with remembering a majority of the syllabus since languages aren't really my strong point, but somehow with the help of the educators at the Learning Centre I'm going to and my colorful cast of classmates, so far it's been smooth sailing where classes are concerned. ヽ(≧▽≦)ノ♪ It's been hectic and tiring but my dear classmates have always managed to keep it interesting and fun that I don't mind the weariness studying came with.

Fellow GAR member, Iwashi has also been a huge help for preping me in reading and speaking/writing grammar haha. And for those who know me, my grammar and reading "skills" are enough to make even the sane-est of Teachers vomit blood haha. ♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ Thanks a million and I LOVE YU BBY.

Other than studying again, I've been juggling my responsibilities and duties for my manga groups and company as well which often keeps me busy and preoccupied enough through out the days. And Thank the Heavens above, my will and ability to draw has somewhat return as I'm already working on different projects and all, including KAMCAO's Le Noir final Project. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

Well I'll post up works soon if I can, until then I hope everyone stays happy and healthy! ♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

蒼-iconoclast

Yeap! you guessed it! Its the new, fast paced fighting game that graced the market last year for PS3 and now PSP (yeay!); BlazBlue! (*≧▽≦)ノ☆

Last week, a dear friend of mine left his Playstation 3 and a handful of games at my place overnight so I and fellow GAR member, Saku can give it a go and amongst the stash of games he left was the Fighting Game "BlazBlue", all wrapped in it's blue cover glory ＼(o￣∇￣o)/

I can't say much about gameplays and all since I'm not a very experienced gamer but I've been wanting to give this particular game a go ever since I heard that it was out in the market. Mainly it was because I saw the reviews, designs and above all it was because it was promoted as another franchise from the creator of Fighting game "Guilty Gear". I'm a huge fan of his and has been able to keep up with his works thus far (despite the fact that I don't get to actually play his games, I do follow his designs and all).

The fact that my friend spent close to RM200 additional just for a HD cable worked out very well for all of us as the colors, sound and movements were set perfectly on the LCD television and Home Theater System that dominated our living room. As we proceeded to play the game, my friend (who I will call 'Kim' in this entry for convenience), carefully and patiently tutored me on how to execute basic commands on several characters since Saku was kicking my butt all the way despite it being her first time as well. After trying several characters I find the character Taokaka and Ragna the Bloodedge to be most suited for my usage.

But as I only had the chance to play it for 2 days, I didn't really get my fill. But fellow GAR member Peecee told me of him owning the game on his PSP which I was pleasantly surprised by since I own a PSP.

so currently I'm hitting a few bumps with installing the game into my PSP but I'm really excited to own it on my PSP. God knows I hardly get to play video games when I was young so I'm really game starved haha. Can't wait !!

Shipatttsu!

Yes indeed! (*≧▽≦)ノ♪

The past week or so, I have been discussing with my folks alot regarding my future education and such. For most who knows me, why I'm currently not in any university or college is due to the fact that I'm working to pay my own way since the subjects that interest me are not available locally. Which means I can only do it overseas and that would cost too much for my parents to bear if they were to pay for me. （￣へ￣;; ）

But I forgot all about scholarships!! ♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ Yesh! How can I forget about that! After discussing it with fellow GAR member, Iwashi and Saku, all three of us have decided to take the necessary steps together to ensure we qualify for a scholarship program that reopens next year in March, courtesy of the Japanese Embassy.

I'm currently eyeing alot of Voice Acting or Seiyuu courses in Japan but mainly the ones offered at Toho Gakuen and Nihon Kogahakuin. ｏ( ><)o But to qualify for the scholarship, let alone the actual schools themselves, I'd at least have to attain a Level 2 JLPT Test certificate. So after much discussion, Iwashi agreed to teach both I and Saku the basics whilst we take a part time course offered in Teikyo University so we can try and score the JLPT Levels as soon as possible. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

I like feeling productive, so I always tend to keep myself busy but lately I've been feeling really pumped up about virtually everything! (*≧▽≦)~♪ From my drawings all the way to my private franchising. Things are really starting to pick up, so I have to buck up ~!

OSU!! Time to take off!! ＼(＾▽＾*)

Songs & Stories of the Down Under

When I flipped the channel on my TV and decided to watch the epic romance 2008 production, "Australia" to fill my time in between shows, I didn't expect for it to leave such a huge impression on me.


And truth to be told, it wasn't because of Hugh Jackman （￣ー￣）though most would've reasoned that, that would be the reason I'm so touched by it. (well.... maybe a little)

The story tells about the trials and tribulation of Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) when she left her England home to Northern Australia to persuade her husband to sell his dying cattle station, Faraway Downs and return home. There, she was guided by independent cattle drover, simply known as "Drover" (yummeh Hugh Jackman) to Darwin and transport her to Faraway Downs. Shortly after her arrival, she finds her husband murdered by an aboriginal elder but of course, that was far from the truth. As she slowly uncovers the truth, she came to care for a young mixed Aboriginal and somewhat whimsical child called Nullah (Brandon Walter) and developed a relationship with Drover as they prove that Love truly is a powerful weapon in a time filled with hatred, war and prejudice.

To tell you the truth, I'm not a huge sucker for romance films (yes even if it includes the yummy Hugh Jackman), so I was surprised that I even sat through the first half of the film let alone enjoy one so much. To see Ashley and Drover's dedication for the love of their family and for a child that's not even blood related in such trying times is something that even someone with a heart of stone like mine can take. Tears were falling from my face non-stop when the credits rolled.

I may not know much about romance but I do know a thing or two about love. Love for people that share no blood relation, of different backgrounds, beliefs, ways of life... yes, despite all of this, we call them family. Watching this movie reminds me of all the people that have made my humble life all the more richer and it made me thank my lucky stars at how I've manage to grasp them. This truly is a Love Story. :D

To those who haven't watch this movie because of other's reviews of it, I advice you to judge it for yourself. I regretted listening to those who told me that this movie wasn't worth watching. Judge it for yourself and who knows, you might learn a thing or two from it. You have my personal recommendation.

Goodnight everyone. To those I love, goodnight and sweet dreams.

Doramamama

homg I feel like this everytime I see one exploding across cyber space in the art community (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮

Recently, everytime I log into my deviantART or Facebook account, there'll always be disputes being displayed and spattered across the web page in forms of journals or status and such. Sometimes it's about this person saying things about the other or the occasional typical Ego measuring War between Community figures or on some occasions, something so petty blown out of proportion that in the end it just makes everyone look like tantrum throwing 3 year old children.

To tell you the truth, usually I'd just close the window or move on to whatever it was I came online for, but as of late as another new dispute involving a artist I follow, exploded across the deviantART community, it seems to be harder and harder to avoid all the 'Dorama' that is happening around here.

After reading about what was actually going on, I felt even more assured that it's just a waste of time to even reason with either sides let alone take sides (which I notice most people are doing after following their disputes). This particular dispute wasn't exempted from all the disputes and DArama that has happened all the years before and could definitely be cut short if either or both sides decide to actually deal with it like adults by taking it into a private talk (like msn or email) or just ignoring the other party entirely. By fueling each other with rants via journals are not only meaningless but it also simultaneously make the artist like a hormonal 13- year-old.

Personally though, I pity those who got themselves involved with useless drama like these. （￣へ ￣） It's different if both sides actually could genuinely learn something from it, but most of the time the only thing that's battered in cases like these are their Egos, and if it doesn't contribute to your success in whatever you do or more importantly as a human being, it's a waste of time. You're better off doing anything but that. Read a book, help a friend, call your parents if you haven't talk to them this week. Anything. Why can't people focus more on Love rather than Hate most of the time when things like these happen?

Final GACC 2010

Yes... yes they do ;;;

hrmm nothing much to comment on really. As usual thought they can do better, sloppy organizing, but not bad of a crowd. Though I was surprised for the the "S" word being frequently said on stage ... （￣へ￣;）Not that I mind it much but I don't think majority of the visitors found it very pleasant.

Well either way, I don't think the final GACC was much of a success but I guess all that matters is that to the committee members that are graduating, it was a memorable one for all of them. （;;´ 3｀）

For me? personally I simply had fun because I got to enjoy the company of my friends that I haven't got to enjoy in a long time. It was hillarious haha... Car sickness, almost puking incidents, Narration of The Lord of the Rings （￣ー￣） yes.. I'm talking bout you. haha

Anyhow, just wanted to update my blog on something since it's been a whiles. Jya ( ﾟ ▽ﾟ)/ ♥
