This icon says it all.

I set out this morning to be productive (read: do homework and revision, practice violin more) with my day.

I ended up working on my LJ layout and profile.

*gulp*

I also found a Flash game website called Orisinal. All the games have lovely art and music, so check it out if you like.

Can't remember what time I (accidentally!) fell asleep (probably 9 or 10 p.m.) but I woke up at 3 a.m. only to remember that I still had to finish that research proposal due this afternoon.

Set my handphone alarm to wake myself at 4 but I never did get back to sleep, so I just lay around daydreaming. LOL.

And now that I'm done, there is no point going back to sleep since I have to be out of the house by 6.30 anyway.

Majority of the icons here have been sitting around my hard drive for more than 1 and 1/2 years, school having eaten up most of my time. They've finally seen the light of day now, so to speak. XD Now that I have 4+ months of holidays, I'll try to resume icon-making.

( To the icons~! )

The above: Quoted from Shakespeare. It appears during the FF XIII Versus trailer, and is one of Hamlet's lines. Also, it provides me with some food for thought currently.

I've decided to go on hiatus (or semi-hiatus at best) until the end of next month, so see you all again sometime in March then.

Best wishes for this year, everyone! ^_^

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! (Taking a leaf out of koyuki_san's book.) :D;;; geckguga, I received your card today! Thanks! And Garfield comic strip is awesome. :D

Christmas cards to local friends are going to be, well, late. Unbelievable. I'm so so sorry! :S

Also, I heard The Twelve Pains of Christmas over the radio today. Great song. I keep lol-ing at the part where some guy is yelling because his problems with Christmas lights.

Okay. I have two announcements.

One, I've finished my iconfiend100 claim. :D All the icons are right here.

Two, this journal is going on a semi-hiatus. As much as I love LJ and my f-list, I'm really short of time here (or maybe you could argue that I just need better time management XD). This is my second last semester, and my exams are coming up next month. I really have to work even harder because my grades for the common test sucked and will affect my final results. On top of that, I have two reports to write, and my final year project presentation is just next semester. It might seem like I have a lot of time, but at the same time, it's a lot of work. I think it best to start now than have everything snowballing and knocking me off a cliff (so to speak) later on.

So I won't be posting much. I'll try to read my Friends page when I can, but I'll be pretty much invisible around here for some time.

Found it while exploring another person's LJ. XD

Genre: General, humour (or intended humour anyway)
Characters: Shinn, Rey, Lunamaria
Pairing(s): None
Word Count: 709
Warning: Unbeta-ed.
Summary: Set in their Academy days. The two of them didn't want to see their friend sad, so they decided to help her out. One-shot.
A/N: Not my best story. But the idea kept playing about in my head, so I wrote it down. Yes, and I know the title is lousy. Let me know if there was any humour at all. I fear cracking jokes that nobody gets. XD

( She lost something important... )

Thanks to Imageshack screwing over my icons, I've had to rehost them somewhere else. The other icons I deleted, since they'll probably share the same fate as the screwed-up ones.

I've put together most of the old ones here, in case anyone wants any. Why most of? Some of them I deleted since I had many similar ones anyway.

( This way to crappy icons. XD )

Take if you want, just comment. ^_^ Credit not necessary.

Resources are here!

Oh yes. Of all days it happened, it just HAD to happen today.

( Go ahead and laugh. I know you want to. )

Oh yes, I found a Rey wallpaper on MT I hadn't seen before. Took me some time to find it.



Here's the link if you want. In fact, if cooked_sashimi hadn't requested for the raw pictures on gundamseed, I'd never have known about it.

[Rhetorical]
I've watched Red Garden ep. 1 and 2, and am wondering what the hell is going on. Who was that dog-like man? And that lady talking about the contract? What contract? What is with them having to fight and all? And worse still, the girls didn't ask for that in the first place.

p.s. Happy Christmas to everyone! :D

( So...about our Organic Chem test. )

I have saved up about $26. Yay. :D It's good to have a lot of money when one is going to Orchard Road. Okay, okay, so $26 is not that much XD

...I wonder which CD I'll get if I can find it...

evenstar1389, I still don't get how one could blow a hundred bucks in one day. =_=

I still have a lot to learn.

( A list of books I borrowed. Don't read. XD )

Lelouch can be really ungrateful. CC saved his ass back then in episode seven. Maybe it was just so she could make use of him later on or something, but still. The least he could do was say thank you. Sheesh. D:

( I made a banner! :D )

I've just come back from my Cell Biology test. I really shouldn't have skipped lunch. Well, it wasn't my fault that I didn't feel like eating. -_-;;; Yeah, well, you know what exam halls are like. It's so quiet.

So my stomach went on protest at not having lunch just as I was doing my paper. It began growling. Audibly. >.< It was so embarrassing, I tell you. I hope no one actually wondered where the sound was coming from. But of course they will. :P I had to keep pressing down on my belly to deaden the noise. Not that it was a permanent solution.

Tomorrow's the last test! Organic Chemistry. I still feel a bit woozy about amines and amides, but I'll do my best. :D

And I'm still waiting for my GSD calendar. Gah.

I've watched Code Geass up till episode 6. Actually I skipped episode 5, but that was because no. 6 downloaded a lot quicker than no. 5. XD I've been wondering...how did Lelouch know how to use the Geass so quickly? I certainly didn't see any explanation given to him. :S I suppose it was okay anyway. If he'd needed C.C. to tell him how to use it, he'd have been a goner. Since she was apparently dead then. I guess it must be one of those "I just know how the thing works" cases. :P Or maybe C.C. explained and they just didn't show it.

...I'm wondering how much I've saved so far. I want to pop by HMV and see if they have any Gundam SEED Destiny Suit CDs. Or OSTs.

I've watched the OP for Rozen Maiden ouvertüre. I didn't expect a slower song. I thought it might have been like Seishoujo Ryouiki. But it's grown on me. XD The part where Suigintou was hacking off the roses was cool. In fact, I liked all of the OP sequences.

Now, I'd like to make an icon of this:


I just wish I could find the Baragoku Otome CD here. I doubt music stores like Sembawang or Music Junction would stock them. :S

Oh yes. I've begun watching Code Geass.

And I'll be dangerous to be around cranky for the next few days until my COMMON TESTS ARE OVER. I hate Networking. I don't get it; some of the quiz questions ask for stuff I haven't heard of at all in class. I' m sure I paid attention, but occasionally the lecturer went too fast, and I couldn't take everything down. Yay, score one for me for slowness. I should've asked him to repeat, but I didn't. Never mind, I have a revision class tomorrow. Heh.

Man, all I need is another C to pull down my GPA, of which I'm not even sure I can get at least a 3.5 ):
