Lately I've been craving for all sorts of food... ALOT!!! XD;; I don't know why, I just do ;___; Among them are calamari, claypot noodles (yee mein), bak kut teh, dim sum, curry noodles, Baba and Nyonya asam laksa, Jongker street cendol (lol anyone wanna go to Melaka again? XDD; ), CHOCOLATE, takoyaki, nasi lemak, piiiiiieeeeeeee, unagi sushi and I dunno what else!!! *A*;; But one can only eat so much (and reach so many places) at once... ;__; Peeps!! We should go to yumcha/have dinner at some places that sell these kind of food to satisfy my craving~~ LOL!!

In other news, I was wondering if anyone on my flist knows where I could print transparent stickers in Malaysia? You know, instead of the usual printing on the white sticker type, but instead printing on transparent sticker base? I have a sudden urge lately to 'complete' Serph. (my DS lite) I want to print Serph's face tattoo on a transparent sticker and stick it to my DS!! XD;

Anyone going to bon odori this weekend? So far everyone I asked are either not confirmed or too busy...;; *sigh* Since I'm going just to eat anyway, I'm probably just gonna drag my brother along :/

Hnnn, just a worklist to remind myself what to do in the following week. A schedule of sorts? Hopefully this work out lololol.

- Research on how to clean Adri up.
- Redo Adri's face-up.
- Do Adri's laundry. XD
- Clean Adri up too of course.
- Pack Adri.

So in other words, I already found a buyer for Adri!! Thank you everyone for the interest though!! *heart* Well, let's hope this buyer won't bail out on me like the last one did o_o;; Also other things to work out on.

- Finish the lionfish Raevan.
- Finish another sketch (of any art, haven't decided what yet) by the next weekend.
- Buy a new planner/sketchbook/notebook just for Lab-planning purposes.
- Summer event in the lab. Moar roleplays!

And possibly some other stuff to work on.

- Hit 62 in WoW lol, 3 and 1/2 more REST bars left!! Finally in Outlands!
- Go to exchange my SGD back to RM.
- Need those RM to pay Pea for the Amazon order when I go and pick it up. (Bila Pea? Bila?)
- Return Pea her Furuba books when I go to pick up the Amazon orders.
- Get another bottle of Vanilla Coke >__>;;
- Finish Patapon? LOL!!!

I wish I have more free time. :( Though for the past few days it had been extremely free at work, I finished reading DOGS from the beginning to the recent chapters within 2 days. Had been practicing drawing hands too!! Stew talked with me last week to convince me to stay longer a bit in the office. Since Nasfi is leaving soon (lol serves you right, finally realize how important we are? XD ) he needed more time to recruit people. I was originally going to quit on 15th this month, but decided to stay for the entire month since he's giving me a raise for this month anyway. I wouldn't mind having more moolah!! $w$ But I told him that I might leave anytime, without any official notice, and he agreed to it, so let's hope he don't betray my trust.

Ahaha, the title refers to the major happenings in Malaysian politics lately. As my brother summarize it best - All this drama can be filmed into a drama series. XDD Seriously lol, the whole last week was all about the scandalous cases and as CNN put it - dark politics at it's best. First with Anwar's sodomy case. (Again??! Where is the originality??!) I personally think it's all bullshit, he was just accused falsely like what happened 10 years ago. And now with the Mongolia woman's murder case, the whole private detective Bala and his entire family went missing after his retraction of his statutory declaration? Yeah something fishy is definitely going on around here, what with our deputy PM Najib's probable involvement too. (is there some sexual scandal involved? Gasp!) Only one thing I could say, our deputy PMs are always full of drama!! :D

Though I do think Anwar had been pretty smart with how he's dealing with the sodomy accusation on him. He made Malaysian government looks like a giant piece of bullshit!! XD

Also, look what I did today!!



I spent 2 hours to kill 100++ Silithids today!! With the ones counted in the kills and of course extra Hive Lords and extra others when I was looking for more burrowers. I was running around one of the hives back and forth several times to get enough burrower kills. My mind was pretty numb by the 2nd hour... u_u;; And to make it worse... I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET A BUNCH OF JUICY QUEST EXP WHEN I GET BACK TO CENARION HOLD!!!!!!! BUT INSTEAD I WAS AWARDED ONLY 150 CENARION CIRCLE REPUTATION WTF??!?!!!?!?!! I-I-I feel so cheated... TAT;; Give me my 2 hours back~~

At least I mined like 2 full stacks of thorium ores (that's like 80g right there) and a bunch of silithid skins as you can see in the screenshot. >__> Upped my skinning skill by 30 points I think. And in the crazily bored state my mind was in towards the end of my killings... I realized...

Silithids = Silly tits. Get it??!! SILLY TITS AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! At least, that's how I pronounce it... >_> Yeah shoot me for my lame joke!! XDD

Finally got around to do this again. The last buyer back in January bailed out on me... but I finally got my ass off to put her up for sale again.

( Click for details and photos )

I don't know why, but for the past few weeks I had been pretty slumber during weekends. (esp on Saturdays!!) I just feel reaaaaally tired and want to sleep all the time, more so in the afternoon. I get wide awake when evening rolls around. It is very strange... D:

But nonetheless! I had been somewhat productive even when I feel sleepy~ I gained a level in WoW, (currently at 57) played a bit of Patapon, made muffin cake and did a little bit of roleplaying. Today wasn't so slumber, and I finished a small commission!! Woohoo!!

( They aren't much, lol )

Now, I shall WoW a little and continue to work on art later!! XD

I'm kinda free at work now, and this is a good excuse to update my LJ lol!! (dunno why but I don't have anything much/dunno what to update this place with lately)

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out :)

( Things you may or may not know about me )

Wagh the construction work next to our office is SO NOISY!!! =n=;; And I can't turn my headphones too loud because it seems to be dying, there are popping noises on the right side when I turn the volume up.

Had you ever saw those people that flood to the petrol station before a petrol price raise? Had you wonder how does those idiots feel like stuck in a jam like that, just because most Malaysians are so kiasu?? Wonder no more, because I am that idiot, mwahahaha!!! OTL...

Petrol price is going to be hiked up by 40% tonight midnight, so people had been flooding to petrol stations to fill up their tanks, despite the literal (water/rain) flood in several areas due to the heavy rain today. Even by cutting queues and taking shortcuts, it took me an hour to fill RM15 on my tank!! =w=;; It was THAT MANY CARS (and motorcycles, damn motorcycles). I'm so sad that my tank's capacity is so Goddamn small -___-;; (15 litre full tank). While I've seen Kancils with 30 litre tanks before. It still boggles my mind why is it so. Now I'm going to drive my dad's car to refill the tank for him, because his tank is only 1/3 full... >__> Whai hello thar again traffic jam...

*plots to use a faster shortcut*
Dad says no need!! Woohoo!! *is gleeful that I don't need to face the jam again*

"I'm sorry miss, but could you tell me how to get to the police station? Because someone just stole my heart away."

Lol how cheesy!! I wouldn't mind if someone cute say that to me though... just, not the disgusting ones kthx.

( Neways, I was watching a morning show this morning while eating breakfast, and... )

On an unrelated note, I've been addicted to Kerli Kõiv's (an Estonian singer) songs...;; Esp "Walking On Air", all thanks to dnamight >__>;; You should totally watch the music vid, very very cool and there's a BJD featured in it!! :O



And I'm sharing the song here:
Kerli Kõiv - Walking on Air
Damn Supload not working for me. :(

"Kyou achievement unlocked - Suicide King"

OTL

On the Xbox360, you can unlock achievements on your Xbox profile while you're playing games. I'm not entirely sure how it works though. All I know is, I unlocked the achievement above when I accidentally killed myself with a rocket launcher on F.E.A.R... >__>;; It was a bad idea to fire it at close range...;;

My right hand's middle and ring finger hurts like mad today, I don't know why =__= esp the ring finger, it hurts when I squeeze it. Perhaps I've been using the PC/Mouse for too long today?? I'm not sure... D: It started hurting while I was playing WoW. I work with a PC almost all the time, so this is quite weird... @_@;; It hurts so bad that I refuse to touch the mouse now. I hope the pain goes away tomorrow =3= Hell, it hurts even if I hold a pen, or type on a keyboard. It only wouldn't hurt when I'm holding a game controller, or my DS, weeeiiiird. So I'm going to follow my finger's feelings and play on my DS now.

Whut whut whut???!! likoliko asked me to be her bridesmaid in her wedding ceremony in October!! o__o And I can't refuse!!!!! O___O It's still quite unbelievable... but perhaps I should be ready to wear a dress and be all prettified for the occasion?! D8 The idea is still a little alien to me atm... OTL... I should consider dieting too... >_> *cuts amount of food intake every meal* Perhaps I should unleash the girly side in me and go all out and get a really cute dress D:;; Omg, I'm losing my identity!!! *A*;;

Just watched "The Devil Wears Prada" today, maybe I could draw some dressing inspiration from there hmm... >__>;;

But the bottom line is... I still need to get my ass to US... :'D;; Things are looking brighter this time around though. And also plenty of time to prepare. Yosh!! Let's hope for the best!!

Also, I hate iTunes for now allowing me to buy songs there. I have a Paypal account!! And I have money!!! What is this 'source of money from United States' requirement??!!! TAT;; I want to download songs performed by David Cook on American Idol!!!! T^T *sends hate vibes to iTunes* And that is why we download songs illegally!! *gets the songs from Limewire* D:

I'm spending a lot of time around eBay recently, due to various reasons... >__> *eyes a certain someone* So, I typed in American Idol finalist 'David Cook' in the search bar out of curiosity and randomness. I read up about him on wikipedia (along with David Archuleta), and I know he had an album that he recorded and produced himself. And behold...

Holy f*cking shit!!!!!!!!

Dude, look at the bids!! It's currently at $405!!!! O___O Holy shit!! I can't justify myself to buy an album for that amount of money. Hell, I was even stingy about getting Maroon 5's album!! XD;; That lucky seller... >___>

On a kind of related note (in terms of fangirlism), they changed Alex's looks in Silent Hill 5!!! D8 He no longer looks like Dean from Supernatural. :C He looks like an old regular uncle now in his early 40s... WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND MY AGE!!!! DDX He used to look like this. But now, he looks like this!!!!! DX WRRRRYYYYYY?!?!?!!! So unattractive at all ;__; Give us back the old Alex Shepherd!! T^T And the game is scheduled to be release in late September, CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! DDDX

The topic of dreams came up quite a lot recently. Whether it is other people's dreams, my dreams, or dream interpretations. I feel like I should write something dream-related too, to note these interesting dream scenes down as a record of sorts!! XD;; I have very VERY weird and random dreams... >__>;;

( Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away )

I'm starting to develop a hatred for Play-Asia... =__= It's supposed to have FREE SHIPMENT to Malaysia, yet... whenever I add Call of Duty 4 into my cart, no matter which version... IT'LL CHARGE ME SHIPMENT!!!! WHAAAAAAAIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii??!?!?!! If I add any other game, it won't charge me shipment, just... CALL OF DUTY 4!!!!!!!!!!! DX So I got Halo 3 instead >__> Finally, Play-Asia restocked it. It's also cheaper than COD4 too!! To hell with COD4!! >____>

One more thing, PLAY-ASIA ATE MY DISCOUNT COUPON!!!! I haven't checked out yet!! You're not supposed to expire my coupon like that!! D8 You can't!!! Damn j00 Play-Asia!!!! Give me back my coupon!!! D8

*checks out anyway* Hmm... that's one of the series of birthday presents I'm getting for myself, lol!! XD;; Because I just know I won't get any presents (especially from my family) tomorrow, as expected every year. So I'm gonna treat myself!! And spend myself silly!! See me go broke!! Hah!!! XDD

Although, being the stupid person that I am, I got a copy of Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion - Shivering Isles expansion pack that is the wrong region with my Xbox360... not to mention it says 'requires original game to play'... I've been tricked by the descriptions on Play-Asia... >__> "You can start a new game from scratch" konon. Tipu belaka!!! DX The game is NTSC-U/C, my Xbox360 is NTSC-J... which makes me worry, whether or not the games Aquataine is sending me will be able to run on my Xbox ;_____;

So hoolijing's posting of her interesting WoW screenshots prompted me to do this. I wanted to post a couple for a while now, but was just delaying because I'm a lazyass!! 8DD;; This is pretty much ALL of the more interesting screenshots I have, mostly when I was on my main account on Virens though... I miss my warlock ;_;

( Warning, image heavy, but interesting and funny )

Guess what? They're opening a Secret Recipe restaurant right underneath our office!! Actually I think the grand opening is tomorrow... If you're wondering, that lasagne I ate back in January that caused my admittance into the hospital was from Secret Recipe... =__=;; It's funny how irony would come and strike you straight in the face ya? Now my favourite car parking is right in front of the restaurant. Sorry to people that are gonna eat there, no chance you're gonna get that sweet front seat parking!!

To tell the truth, I don't really mind eating at Secret Recipe again. As long as it's not their lasagne... or the spaghetti... >__>;;

OH WHY DON'T THEY OPEN A STARBUCKS THERE INSTEAD??!!!! TAT

Then again, if that happens I think I'll be broke in no time...;;;

In other news, I've been kind of unproductive in the art sense in a week o_o;; I blame it on Shadowfax and WoW... lol >.>;; But I have plans to do something BIG, something that would take alot of TIME!! XD;; We'll see where I could take it... I do have a couple of artworks to finish before I start working on that though!! Need to dust off my marker skills...;; And surprisingly, my prismacolor markers haven't dried up yet even if I haven't touched them for over a year o_O;

I remember having something else to LJ about, but I can't recall it right now... *frowns*

So for now, have some rejected art spam. I have all these unfinished art that I may or may not pick up again. Some definitely not touching again with a 10-feet pole.

( Poor things... 'mild' nudity warning, don't say I didn't warn you!! )

That's all!!! Hmm, I thought I had more unfinished artworks.. :/ Though I do have quite some sketches that I wanted to CG but in the end didn't made it to be digitized (hey I made a new word!!) Ah well, we should always move forward in our lives anyway. So YOSH!!! o/ I have a couple of Phoenix Wright fanart ideas... DD: Because I just finished Apollo Justice!! *3* KLAVIER!!!! <3 But I need time to draw!! Shadowfax and WoW is not helping AT ALL!!! XDD

Btw, Shadowfax is the name of my brand new and shiny Xbox360!!! *3* It's named after Gandalf's white horse in LOTR. I also named the white default controller that came with the Xbox Gandalf the White upon peanutcase's suggestion!! XDD I might get another black controller and name it Nazgul lolololol!!!

The trip to Singapore last Sunday was tiring but satisfying!! :) Saw how different it is between Singapore and Malaysia despite the close distance. IT IS SO CLEAN IN SINGAPORE!!!! DDX Malaysia cannot compare AT ALL!!! =___= Definitely an eye-opener for me!! *w* And a BIG BIG THANK YOU TO RAYWING for being our personal full time tour guide for the entire day, and also help carrying my Xbox for a portion of the day!! XD;; Also thank you to Maggie for letting us crash on your bed, even for just a short 1 and 1/2 hours... TwT;; So sorry we kept you up from 4am to 7.30am!!! We were so lost at 5am in Singapore when the bus arrived...;;

So that's all for this post~ Till next time!!! x3

For Pea, Raywing and Sakana.

I have my reasons for not wanting to get the Xbox360 in Malaysia. I'd have gotten it already back in November if I really wanted to get it here. But certain factors held me back, until now.

The only things I've been doing lately are eat, draw, WoW, DS, sleep. >.>;; But somehow I feel kinda productive!! o_O Until some unwanted drama happened on Gaia =__=;; Then I had to spend/waste time dealing with it. Time that could probably make me gain a level or 2 on WoW!!! D< I'm still in a somewhat pissy mood since Friday (Friday was BAAAAADDD) and don't feel like talking much..

Anyways, the point of this post is... just a record of things that I shall get one day when I have the money!!! >O One day!! I shall have youuuuuu!!!

- Xbox360 (is the S'pore trip still on? D: )
- Laptop (planning to get sometime later this year)
- iPod
- DSLR camera
- Body for Caine
- In-ear earphones

Mmm, that's all, I think. See I'm not too greedy 8D;; Though all those items above are well worth over RM1000 (other than the earphones) orz...

Just taking a break from my essay, typing in double spacing is making me GO CRAZY!! *A* ...somehow, I dunno why or how... I haven't typed a proper essay for art related assignments before, so I guess I'm just not used to it yet. I'M ALMOST DONE THOUGH!!! Like, 60% done yeah... wait make that 65%... I think... >.>;;

ANYWAYS, just a meme to relax my brains. Was tagged by peanutcase (ps, you spelt my username wrong on your post...;; )

Rules: Post the explanation of where your username came from. Then tag other users whose explanations you'd like to hear. If you are tagged post the explanation to your page.

Well, I go by a few aliases. "Miaow" was actually something I used when I first came in contact with the internets!! o3o It was my ICQ name, no doubt about it. 'Miaow' actually comes from my chinese name, the middle character is pronounced as 'miaow' in mandarin. EVERYONE calls me 'miaow miaow' in majority of my school life when I was a kid... =w=;; It's odd actually, since I don't really like cats, lol.

As for my current LJ username. It's actually a combination of 'Kyou' and 'Deviruchi'. 'Kyou' is actually the same Kyou from fruit baskets. When in college, a group of us watched Fruit Baskets together and somehow assigned a character to everyone of us. I was 'Kyou' because of my name relation with the cat. (Miaow = sound cats make) But surprisingly though, everyone of us kind of resembled the character that we were attached to. But anyway, we started calling each other by our Furuba aliases for fun, and it got kind of stuck. So I started to use the 'Kyou' alias to get rid of my 'Miaow' alias!! XD;; Truthfully, I prefer people calling me 'Kyou' than 'Miaow' lol. As for the deviruchi part. The bunch of us played on a private RO server. kisengure had a deviruchi pet and named it 'Kyoupiruchi' after me! XD; And she would make it do stupid things for fun. So I had a deviruchi pet named 'Gureruchi' too!! :P I thought the name was rather interesting and cute, so I used it to register for emails, usernames etc because it's a less common word/name compared with 'Miaow' and 'Kyou'.

Hmm, I feel like tagging a few people this time around, kekekeke!! >P
Tagging kisengure, deathpoem and 10batsu

Back to the essay!! Must finish tonight before I sleep!!! o/

Every election until now had been oblivious to me. Before this, the only things I notice are the numerous little flags hanging around. But this year, it's EVERYWHERE, literally. On TV, billboards, even radio!! They made this new election song even!! And they show the commercials so frequently!! And so fake!!! When did politics become a business? What's with all these advertising??! Are they using OUR TAX MONEY for all these expenses??!! D: And BN says they're low profile?? Well let me spit on your shoe, all these advertisements are considered 'low profile'??!! >__> Damn BN, you can't even do a decent job in repairing the roads!! Their lame excuse of an attempt to fill in the pot holes on the road is just... so bad!! I don't know what kind of tars they used, but they're not firm enough and made the road even worse than the pot holes =__=;;

I definitely wouldn't be voting for BN, and I won't vote for PAS too. Then again, I didn't register as a voter so why am I even complaining about this??! lol!! Even if I am registered, it's kinda sad that there's only BN and PAS to vote for in my area :/

Politics aside. I'm finding myself frustrated over my stupid ears. I have mismatched ears you see, my right ear is very normal, leaning back against my head in a V shape. But my left ear stands out... literally, in a L shape. Earphones had always been very merciless to my ears =__=;; Especially to my left ear. Headphones are okay, especially the type that clings to your ears and go around the back of your head. I use one of these in the office. But the problem with these are they're kind of annoying to wear with glasses, and it hurts my ears after wearing for a few hours. So I bought these pair of Altec Lansing regular headphones lately to try out. And man, they're worse!! >_<;; I don't know why, might be because they're too tight?! My left ear hurts a lot after an hour or 2. So the conclusion is... in-ear earphones are the only way to go for me... either that or speakers... =.=;; But GOOD in-ear earphones are sexpensive!! D8 I saw these sweeeeeet ones the other day for RM600, man... RM600!!! I could buy a PSP with that amount of money!! DX;; Ah woe is me~~~ T3T;;

On an unrelated note... I wanna go Singapore SOON to get my Xbox360... D:
