Just finished watching Ghost In Shell- Innocence which has to be the scariest, coolest, most FANTASTIC anime ever. Period. The animation is SO FUCKING GOOD it beats Squaresoft, Pixar and Dreamworks anyday. Hell, it even beats Matrix. Add with the most well-written, evocative score I've ever heard and you have the creepiest coolest anime of the year.
It's really THAT good.
I can't really describe the sequences; dreamlike and undertoned, sutbler than the swifest knife, sweeter than toxic, more delicate than a chrysalis' wings.....Magical, fantastical, ultimately surreal yet a reflection of humanself, unbelievable.
*drools at the graphics*
I'm sort of fic-writing, sort of being the key word since my mind is now filled with haikus, confucius and zemian sayings. If Kaoru acts particulary philosiphical about the elusiveness of humanity, well, you know the cause! ^^;;;; Got my paycheck, which isn't alot but then again I'm not really asking for much. Going to look for Graphic Arts section tomorrow, and pray that everyone gets my Christmas cards. Or they'll get it after Christmas *sighs*
It's winter sostalis today, had dumplings in soup and dinner. Sort of nice to keep tradition....Nearly finished my maple leaf mosiac with is pretty cool and made of glass <3 <3 All the cuts on my fingers, not for nothing!
I think I'm fully creeped out by now.
Okay I'm just going to read some fluff to get rid of it.

YAY I'M GETTING PAID TOMORROW!!!<3 <3
That means I'll have to:
1. Pay back bro for mom's gift
2. Pay back mom for sis's gift
3. Pay back sis for kor's gift
4. Pay sak for you know what
5. Save the rest for Japan
6. Buy watercolours.
I'm not even going to buy Kai remix album (even though I desperately want to) Because I have to SAVE MONEY FOR JAPAN. Oh, I really need to call Lareina. And email bangkok_moon for the [a knot] tickets. No way I'm going to Japan without a front row DEG concert ticket. Yeah, that sums it up ^^;;
I'll bring my Japanese books tomorrow so I can study during lunch break. I desperately need to learn it, fast. On the other hand, I can't start flying before I can even walk so I'm telling myself to be patient, learn the syallbus so that
I'll learn it properly then I can start praticing. Yessshhh....practice is good for you!
*considers buying more Japanese manga*
All in the name of work?
The horoscope looks good for next year, and travelling in March is wise considering my alignments will be peaking then ^^ Yessshhhh good for tsu~ On the other hand, I managed to get some medication for the trip, just in case. Like, just in case I dunno.....*doesn't want to imagine consequences* the set list contains mushi or anything that will drive me to the brink of insanity. *worries slightly* It would be a bad (and inapporiate) thing to suddenly start crying halfway
through a song. And UTTERLY EMBARASSING TOO! (god what would Kaoru think?!?!?!) *dies* Thus I'll bring dry-swallow pills aka dopemaine-based, just in case. In which most likely I will stone as an effect. *stones*
I'm kinda anxious, mostly apprehensive and quite worried.
I'll hate to be a burden or disaster.
Plus it's so humilating! >_< Ish.
Like: "God what sort of an idiot cries during a performance?"
But anyway.....It'll problably be the last time..
And I need to buy contact lenses. *grouses* Disposable, most preferably. It's more likely for my glasses to get knocked off than someone to dig into my eyeballs and take out my contacts. Plus it ain't the first time.
Cheap accomadation.....
I don't trust mom on that.
So I'm doing my own ground research.
Hostels ain't too bad an idea.
Plus I can cook and clean ^^
*sighs*
People are unhappy. *feels it* and lonely and kinda sad but I don't know them well enough to help which annoys me because I can feel them hiding. I just -wish- I could help. I know some people don't celebrate Christmas, but there's still magic that spills in the air, there's still a touch of wonder.....And it's painful to see it. They feel so resigned, so -crutched- at, so...stuck(?)
And I'm irritated that I can't do anything not because I don't have the ability, but because I'm not close enough to offer comfort to them.
I just hope that they'll take care of themselves..
And find happiness too.
*huggles audy* I'm so lucky na~
Anyway, I should start fic-writing again, and think of something nice and chrismassy while I'm still in the mood. Except that it's depressing to hear so many lonely people in christmas I'll problably make the charas angst or something.
Horrible ain't it?

Supposed to make you feel better but not very comforting.

For some reason, the idea of Kaoru being a history teacher just cracks me up. *thinks* Imagine if he was thrown in IJ and
forced to teach audy, natz, neko etc and I....ahahaha
Audy: *shuffles to feet* morning.. *goes back to drawing chibi kyos*
tsu: *looking at the window* huh? what? so fast?
neko: *drawing PoT/FMA* morning morning lar...
Natz: uhhhhh...class again >__<...morning.
Kaoru: Today we're going to study the chapter regarding WWI. *flips book* The reparations are considered unfair to the Germans, especially Article 231 as...?
audy: The guns look cool =D
tsu: *wakes up suddenly* Because of the effing French. *goes back dreaming* windooowww
neko: Germans are cool. *goes back drawing*
natz: *grumbles* Stalin is so much hotter!!!
tsu: Himmerich issa kinda sexy with his glasses too!!
Ahahahahaha.....
I think Kaoru would die if he taught all 4 of us. Audy is apathic (except in Math), Neko is bored/drawing, Natz is reluctant (but hardworking) and I'm randomly spastic (wake/dream/wake/dream)
And Kaoru teaching History!?!?!?!?!

I'm dead tired (again) therefore, I'll sum up my day as well as possible:
Date with Mrs Low
Woke up, brushed my teeth and finally picked out a bright long sleeved orange shirt with my grey skirt. I don't look hot, but I look superbly kawaii. Like, oversized sweatered + short skirt kind of kawaii-ness. Just for effect, I tested it on a florist who sold me a stalk of red orchids for 70 cents. ^^
Met her in school, headed to Holland Village for coffee. Ahahahah! I was right! She adores that place (yay I have good taste) and talked to her about stuff. Oh, I met Sandy who gave me a jawdrop when I got into Mrs Low's car. How scandalously fun! xD xD She's kinda cool, has 3 kids, all sons (and problably bullied to death) and talked about random things. Nice. ^^
Random fact: She gets lost the way Audy does o.0;;;
Maybe a Libran trait.
I mean she even forgot where she parked her car!
Anyhow she's pretty okay, really nice, kinda shocked at me but that's okay xD xD I had fun anyway!
Work
Did data entry (AGAIN!!) then later decided to help out with the -REAL- mosiac art. *looks at hands* I have soooo many glass cuts and stratches! Anyhow, I'm helping her make a maple leaf mosiac and she's doing this Oriole bird which looks really cool. I'm glad that I've shifted from data entry to art (like, finally!) It's awfully tiring but satisfying though, and the glass shards are like bullets. They fly EVERYWHERE *has zillions of cuts*
Ahahahaha...
Also quite proud of myself.
It took me exactly 10 mins to learn it ^^
And people take WORKSHOPS to learn it
I ain't the best yet
But I'm happy that it's fairly decent
Decent enough to sell that is.
And I found a watercolour that I really like, so I'm using that as a ref for my comission.
Dad's commission
I think I might have forgotten to say, but I have a $1000 commission from him to do a painting. In particular, an oil painting. You see, he saw me sketch in Phuket and he wants to show off to his clients/friends that his daughter is artistic and what-nots that's why he commission me a 2.5 ft painting.
*ignores the intention and looks at the cash*
Since he's paying for my paint and canvas and stuff as well, and he doesn't really care anyway cos all he wants is to show off -something- (no matter how ugly it is) and willing to pay nearly any amount for any of my shit artwork, I really can't turn it down.
SO!
Watercolour it is! (very girly and elegant too)
I need to go Art Friend and buy watercolour paper (heavy kind) and watercolours (I think I lost my set) and brushes too.
Miscy stuff
My Jap class is now on Thursday
I dunno........feeling really tired mostly, and I've got a slight flu. *sneezes* Kinda grumpy, too tired to fic-write properly and my hand hurts (tunnel syndrome?) Studying hirigana now, and I keep on mixing up the "i" and the "e" *pouts* so annoying.
Slightly grumpy, mildly depressed.
*contemplates*
I'm not going to subject someone to me when they can just let it get out of their systems and move on. I have some habits of decency.
I wish he had the same habits of decency as well.
*shrugs*
I can always ignore it can I?
After all, issa nothing anymore.
Then again, why am I acting like a chicken?
Like, I have nothing to fear.
Argh I should just tell him to go f*ck off
Yes yes... learn some good habits for a change.
And not screw my mind.
*huggles audy*
Eh.
Love *clings*

Went to Bunka to settle classes, they're calling me tomorrow. *sighs* So complicated. Rushed off to work, which was thankfully close by (502 direct!) and started work. w00t~ I'm not too bad apparently~ Ahahahaha...I actually like work~
Went home dead tired, then my brother called and said that Ralph Lauren had a 50% sale ^^v Got a shirt/blouse thing, which was long sleeve and uber-cool mismatched. Tartan + web crochet sleeves. Works great as a jacket too!
Had dinner with Mom and Kor (sis elected to stay at home). Ate Fish & Co. and tomorrow sis is buying mom's Xmas gift. Whee~~~Found stuff for Kor too. Anyhow, Kor left after dinner which left mom and I to shop for our relatives.
So we headed to Carrefour.
Which, sells EVERYTHING.
Bought for miscellenous but complusory cousins ranging from the nice ones to the absolutely downright spoilt ones. Dealt with the spoilt ones first cos it's easy. They're vain and spoilt! How hard can it be to buy something that flatters their "precious" selves? Then settled the kids from friends,
various people etc etc
Went home after everything was done and I have an omelette pan! It's just right for frying and only costs $3.50. How great is that? And non-stick too! I don't believe it though, it doesn't look very non-stick to me.
So anyhow, yay!
Going to see Mrs Low tomorrow, so I better dress neat ^^ I actually have no idea, (except that I'm wearing my handy-dandy grey skirt) so I better wake earlier. Plus I need to buy a flower or something and pick up a book for mom. So I'm seeing Mrs Low at 11am, CHIJ. Wish me good luck~

What can I say? Went out with Audy! That means Kinokuniya, astrology books (2005's are funny) and random discussions about how Kyo is either a clod of mud (earth dragon) or a wooden rabbit. *giggles at the imagery* Meh. Chinese astrology issa no fun.
^_____________________^
Went home, and the bus trip was nice. So nice that I wished it ever ended, that I could have nearly fell asleep glomping
Audy and never letting go. It felt so warm and comfy and nice~ I like bus rides and walking around randomly. It's fun! It's not the destination that counts, but the journey in it.
Changed, showered, hung around the comp then went for Jap class which was really fun cos Sak was in it. We giggled during class, much to the amusement/curiousity of the teacher and the annoyance of the stupid guy sitting across us. I swear he's a Virgo. ANAL! ANAL! ANAL! LOL, I bet he was a bootlicker and a teacher's pet when he was young. Seems like it.
Class was fun. My handwriting sucks. And I have 20 hirigana to learn!

I don't know how he does it, but everytime I hear mushi I just want to bawl my eyes out and scream like a wounded something. Or stratch. Or just wail really loudly.
Not that I'm depressed or anything, but it does have that effect.
Anyhow, first day of work. Boring as hell, but at least I know I do a good job. I'm getting paid so I shouldn't complain. ^^v She's a nice person anyway. Japanese classes tomorrow. I'll be home about 10pm or something. Going out with Auddy too~~ <3 <3
Oh yeah, I freaked my colleague out due to my unerring accuracy at guessing her birthdate. Like, geez, Capricorns are the easiest to spot. First they wear the same colours, next they give off an aura of anxiety, finally they're always trying to take care of you.
Downloading Ai no Kusabi. Anyone who wants to cry along with me as they have SEX! SEX! SEX! is welcome to join in and watch. *sniffles* The part where the building crashes down and they share a final cigarette and die together is so sad!!! wahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Sak if you're reading this you're welcome to borrow the porn off me. Ahahahaha~~~ I'm such a sappy perv.
Audy not online...........
Ah well, supposed to be fic-writing anyway. Not much of a mood to though. *nibbles hair* Kaoru is hot. However, he's even angstier than Kamui Shirou and Subaru. Which is icky cos he makes me feel utterly depressed cos he thinks too much and thinks too little.
Ooooo~ 1 hour 40mins before I finish downloading Ai no Kusabi!! <3 <3
Part of the kick is actually the plot. Yesh people, it ain't just pure smut. It's like this blond haired guy who is a master of this street kid and falls in love with him and then the street kid gets into trouble and runs away but can't forget his master. Anyhow, he gets badly beaten (read: castrated) by another jealous twit and then the blond guy (his master) goes off to save him and they die together in a
burning building sharing a last cigarette.
Yes it's a tacky, sappy, overly sentimental, fanfic-ish plot but I can't help crying anyway.
Talked to Mrs Low, lol. I'm "dating" her this Friday. Any suggestions to where to bring her? I think the cafe at Holland Village issa great though~ cafe rosso. Hmnnn....where do you think I should bring her? If I had a choice, I'll pick Mana's cafe. She reminds me of Mana anyway. Scarily elegant and creepily nice. LOL.
Ahahaha...too bad she's married.
I could seduce her.
LOL.
I think I'm halfway there already, cos she's interested.
I mean, intellectually.
But then people like her, you need to seduce the mind first.
Anyhow....I've nearly dl-ed finished.

LOL, I need a chew toy. *chews shirt in anticipation*
Slacked about the whole day, slept a little to get rid of landsickness, I still get the lurching, swerving, bobbing feeling now and then which is kinda annoying. Woke up feeling even sicker than before and starting sketching fic ideas.

Phi Phi Island
Day 2 was great too~ Went island hopping, swam among fish and coral, soaked in the sun and hung around the boat. LOL. Isn't it funny? From a Phi(ryn) to a Phi Phi. LOL Anyhow, strange coincidences aside, I had great fun. Did some jumping/diving, shrieked really loudly as I tumbled ungracefully 2 metres away from the water. SPLASH! I think I soaked some of the snorkelling people. I was thinking: "Hey haven't I hit the water yet?" Then I looked down and screamed then splashed. I didn't know 2 m was THAT far. Imagine suicide. How long would it take?
Had a quick lunch, continued island hopping. It's like this: You take a boat and go round Phi Phi's islands and soak in the sun, sand, sea and swim around the coral and fish. And sea bugs! EWWWW! They tear a little of your flesh you know, like unitchy mosquitos.
Bobbed around the water and tried not to puke at the saltyness of it. I do NOT like salt water. It dries on your skin and hair and looks like dead skin and dandruff. Plus it's a meance to wash. Ew. Salted tsu. Yuck yuck.
Went fishing on Day Three, sis got seasick. She isn't used to the movement of the water. Actually, I get landsick. Yep, LANDSICK. It's the weird lurching swerving movement that you feel once you get back on land because you're too used to water. ^^ I like the sea. It suits me fine. LOL. Hippie lifestyle.
Caught a small fish cos it was bad weather for fishing, napped, and went to the beach with sis. Low tide, so the shoreline was exposed. She went to pick shells, I lounged under my umbrella with my discman playing Jessica (wavemix) and Anthony Bourdain. Watched the sun set across the horizon, catermerans and toppers launguidly sailing and people playing beach soccer while sis built her sandcastle. Thailand VS Sweden!!! LOL. It's nice to watch y'know...they can't even speak the same language yet good sportsmanship and the love of games/sport prevails. We aren't so different after all.
Had a last dinner in Phi Phi, tomorrow I'll be going back to Phuket.
PS. I got stuff for everyone!!!!
Phuket
Checked in to Holiday Inn and went swimming with sis. Had roughly 400 baht left, so we ordered young coconuts and tortillas as a snack. Damn it was fantastic. You could see palm trees swaying, the sun shining in all its gorgeousness,
with Patong beach shimmering futher ahead. The water is cool and clean and not too full and sunbathers lounging around. Fantastical. Add that with sweet fresh coconut and deliciously seasoned tortillas and you have VERY HAPPY PEOPLE. God I love this lifestyle...slackerism de ROXORS.
Had a simple lunch of Tom Yum Talay and then went sailing. Okay. Here I'm going to try my best but well, you know.
Sailing
Went without my sis, cos she gets sick in small boats and rented a Catermeran aka Cat. It's a lovely craft really. I took the jip sail (that's the front sail) while dad took the rudder and the main sail. Kinda fun really, or at least normal sailing until I noticed a big black cloud hanging over Phuket city.
We got caught in a HUGE STORM.
I was freaked out, but I didn't panic. God I thought the sail would rip cos the wind was so strong. I pulled and pulled the ropes until I had rope burns, and in the end, threw myself to the base of the boat just to trim the sail. The waves were crashing and rocking and I really thought we were going to capsize and drown or something. The rain was really pouring now, blowing rainwater and seawater at us. I could barely see. Strangely enough, I didn't panic.
Then one of the thai guys which we rented from told us to get off but NO FRIKKIN WAY. We stayed on the sailboat (I have a feeling Auddy would kill me for risking myself unessescarily) and he came over to "help".
This guy was no use.
He panicked (bad)
We were already on our way to shore and was hitting the right angle for wind speed. First, this guy couldn't speak English. Next, he was hitting a dead angle. A dead angle is an angle (usually less than 35 deg) which you CANNOT SAIL aka move. Okay so there were rocks and the rain was getting heavier and I was freezing my arse off and my eyes were stinging with salt and seaspray and the sail was going to rip any second and there was this guy, panicking his arse off.
To tack (move against wind direction), you have to sail at headwind (fastest) and then change direction quickly. It's a matter of speed
Unfortunately, this thai guy was seriously worried cos we were heading for rocks. If you wanted to follow the wind, you would hit rocks (aka die) and we kept on having false starts because we didn't have enough speed to change the direction and tack properly.
Note: During this time the wind was blowing and trying to capsize us, the seaspray and rain got into our eyes, the waves and currents were so strong that we were almost perpendicular to the sea. And the size of a sail boat is roughly 2 metres.
Finally we tacked properly and made our way to the beach, soaked and exhausted. I wasn't scared but on some alderaline
junkie high. You REALLY feel good after knowing that 'yea I could have died there.' I remember on of my thoughts while pulling on the bloody sail was "OMG If I die Auddy will kill me." LOL.
I seriously want to try sailing again xD xD
So we went back to the hotel dripping like a fish, water every frikkin where. I was soaked to the bone and chilled to the core. My teeth chattered as I walked up the nice plush carpeting of the airconditioned lift lobby looking very much like a wet and soggy tsu. Yeah. SOGGY TSU. When my sis opened the door I had already dripped water outside and inside the carpet floor. LOL. Warm water never felt so good~
So there you have it, near death experience!
Dad
Now we come back to the main point of the trip. Is there any hope between any of us? Honestly I really enjoyed the trip but not him. As the days got by, I became more and more annoyed at him and he felt the same I think. The only bonding experience that will ever occur between us is the sea. Other than that we have nearly nothing in common. I'm not talking about personality or aptitude, I'm talking about principles, ethics and beliefs. I can honestly say that he's the type that I will never talk to unless I'm dead bored (even then it's an unlikely possibility)
It sometimes amazes me how a man like him can build a business empire and yet lack common sense. He's alarmingly stupid at times.
For instance, we were in Phuket and at those cheap marketplaces that sell fake watches. He walks up, tells the guy that it's worth $440 000 SGD and that he has the real one. To emphaisize the point, he pulls up his shirt sleeve and proudly announces it's worth. Kreist. I wanted to shut him up there and then. ARE YOU ASKING TO BE ROBBED BLIND?????? idiot.
Then at the Immigration counter in front of like zillions of people he tells them that he GAVE THEM THE WRONG PASSPORT COS HE HAS TWO. *smacks head* idiot.
It's his egocentric, narissitic, self-centred, self-absorbed
thinking that gets me annoyed.
On the other hand, I got this:
Phi for Phiryn, Phi for Phi Phi Island and Phi for the math symbol of Phi (perfection) Cute right? It's just henna though (will wash off)
