Candy, Costumes and Head-Splitting Volumes

It was difficult coming up with the title for this post because I didn't want it to simply be "AFA 2012" or something like that.

Anyway, I did attend the AFA yesterday which was the last day of this year's event! I met up with Sam before going to the Expo where it was held this year. I wish I had taken more photographs!

It was actually pretty hilarious because when we found Jamie(who sits next to me in History class) and her friend, they talked about how the Sword Art Online booth had pretty much sold out everything. We went to take a look at the mentioned booth afterwards which was really cleared out. The only thing left were sample products, sword replicas, character stands and a backdrop.

Sam and I decided to count the number of Vocaloid cosplays we could find and pointed at every one of them while shouting a number. We managed to count up to 48! The cosplays were really adorable. There was this duo who dressed up as Sion(I'm not too sure about the spelling of the name) and Nezumi from No.6 and I wish I had taken a picture of them. They seemed kind of busy though so I left them alone to enjoy the festival.

Oh and there was this guy who I asked if what he was dressed up as was from Resident Evil 5 because I saw it in the game and thought it looked so familiar.

I was right!

To make a really long list short, there were tons of cosplays from all sorts of animes. Some really popular ones were like Ao No Exorcist, Fairy Tail and K. There was a big group of Hetalia cosplayers (especially a really awesome Chibitalia) and a really impressive Iron Man.



I really like their expressions, haha!







It was really fun! I learnt a lot from Sam who I am pretty sure bought every Saber (Fate Zero) file we came across. That reminds me, Sam also bought Takoyaki and then proceeded to burn her tongue (gosh, burn sounds odd. from eating the freshly made snack. Afterwards, she went and got herself a free cup of hot coffee (they were giving them out) and sipped on it saying that compared to the Takoyaki it was lukewarm. Funny Sam!

Oh anyway, I got some candy that I had once seen on a RRcherrypie video! As Teresa came over to my place today, I decided to open the candy kit.

My creation is on the left and Teresa's making her Panda on the right!

Pandango (Or that's what it says on the packaging)



Pretty much a mixture of water and powder





Complete!

According to Teresa, the sauce was really sweet. I was actually confused by the sauce because when I first tasted it, I thought it tasted salty and then the sweetness sort of kicked in and I continued to eat it in confuzzlement.

Oh, I almost forgot! Jamie gave me this bag at the AFA and I absolutely love it! It's so gorgeous and I've just started watching this anime. Thank you so much, Jamie!

By the way, if you're still wondering about the "Head-Splitting Volumes" part in this post's title, it refers to the music booths at the AFA which had really loud music playing from the speakers, wheeee!

You Have Earned The Skill "Sewing" and +340XP!

It'll be a quick update today as I do not have much to say.  To make a long story short, I shall just say that I've been busy as usual but managed to find time to complete a project!

Yes, as according to the title, I've just learnt to sew. Shortly after picking up the needle, I embarked on the journey of completing my first sewing project.

Definition: My First Sewing Project <mye^ fe.rst so-ying pro-je^k>: The adorable little guy made out of felt and buttons. A handmade scalemate.

Indeed! I have made my first sewing project a Scalemate.

Isn't it pretty? Even if I do say so myself.

I made it with the help of this tutorial!

I guess you could still see the messy stitches on it but as a friend kindly puts it, there is still a sense of accomplishment. Oh and I shall need practice!

Well, as this is a short post made longer thanks to the help of a photograph, I suppose I shall include a picture of a badly-drawn horse below.

Just For Fun.

Till next time!

A Rather Short Post

Sometimes I really don't know how to react towards certain situations. And even with my best intentions or in a joking manner, I end up being insensitive.

Other than the fact that I could very possibly have a rather low EQ, I simply am unable to comprehend the atmosphere of a place and tend to blurt out things on impulse. This makes me an ridiculously insensitve bumbling idiot.

I can imagine myself rolling down a flight of stairs while wearing a t-shirt that says "Ridiculously Insensitive".

I like Chinese paintings. It looks very pretty and delicate yet very grand and majestic in a way. I really liked the Chinese painting course that we had in Art class in Primary.

Oh anyway, back to what I wanted to write about before I got distracted by Chinese paintings and fruit juice, I am reminded of the awfully insensitive words I tend to blurt out.

And sometimes I wonder whether that's what makes people so angry or upset with me.

Is that the reason or am I just missing the real point of everything?

Hmm, either way, I guess I do have the potential or am actually a rather mean and horrid person without realising it.

Well, I have tried apologising or trying to cover up before but I just make things worse at times.

So therefore, I shall use the following paragraph to convey my intentions and sincerity on making up for my stupidity.


Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sory Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry.

Well, sorry for being a bumbling impulsive idiot.

Anyway, I thought that I would be an expert in typing out "Sorry" by line 3 but it seems that I even made a mistake on the last "Sorry". I shall have to brush up on my typing of "Sorry" skills and then I can type even more.

I suppose you could consider this post a rather sad one but then again I feel that an apology is needed.

But no matter what I do, things just keep on bothering me.

Maybe I should just stop apologising before things get worse.

Oh look at me writing my emotions down on this blog, it won't be long before I crack and end up explaining what's been bugging me.

But I suppose I shan't, I really don't want to. I shall now walk out of my room in which I am currently surrounded by pale white walls that seem to stain with a ghastly yellow with age.

Then I shall appreciate the good things that sometimes balance out the bad.

Well, for one, this post isn't as short as I thought.

And I haven't even walked out of the room yet, fancy that.

That Doesn't Solve Anything

On the bright side, there is nothing to solve.

Except for this puzzle game I found in my drawer.

So anyway, as this is a blog which is a web log which is really suppose to be a web diary but I don't really use it for that reason sometimes, I have decided to write a little about today's events, hooray.

Look, that was a unintentionally long sentence that makes only a little sense!

I got back some of my examination papers today. It's pretty awful considering the fact it's all 'B's and then a 'C'. I'm getting back the rest of them tomorrow and if I'm lucky, I might just get a nice(sarcasm) long rows of 'B's and a little 'C' here and there.

Before I slam my head against the desk which is calling out to me, I must tell myself not to worry so much about the results but rather learn from the wonderful(sarcasm, again)mistakes I have made in my papers.

I am now free to slam my head against the desk.

However, I would advise you not to follow my example seeing how you have not hired a stunt double like I did.

Unfortunately, my stunt double happens to be myself from a parallel universe whose life is pretty much the same except she has a different calculator.

Oww...stunt double me, don't hit too hard. I can feel the pain too you know?

For the rest of this blog post, I shall just copy some parts from my notebook which I use as a journal  in and then edit it a little and type it out in this white typing-typy-type box.

Fantastic.

That reminds me, I bought my first Betty Crocker product on my way home from school last Wednesday!

It's actually a Betty Crocker Pancake Mix(Just Add Water!).



Looks promising...


I tried making them but they came out really messy(aka nothing like the picture on the box) and I accidentally made tons of them.



The first pancake!


That afternoon, I had stuffed myself with so many pancakes that I felt sick and didn't want anymore pancakes.

Perhaps this is due to the absence of maple syrup?

I shall buy some to go with the next batch of pancakes I make.

Sounds like a good plan.

On Thursday, I had a Kirby Day in which I spent four or so hours hunched over my brother's tiny laptop to play Kirby's Dream Land. As much I hate admitting this but thank you Gamefaqs for saving my lack of skills again.

Other than the huge blast of nostalgia I had over the weekends, an hour of Dead Space(which involves yelling at the screen), an attempt at learning to play the theme song from Halloween(the movie, Michael Myers anyone?) and going on to the next stage in Spore, I would say that my weekend was spent rather wisely(HOMESTUCK!).

I have just realised that I intended to copy parts of my journal to be in this post but ended up just reading through the entries and rewriting them completely for the sake of this post.

Silly me. But it is rather therapeutic typing again.

And about the matter that has been bothering me for some time now, I think I'm ready to let go of it. Honestly, it's a real relief.

I was really tempted to just fill this whole blog post with youtube video after video as a way of showing you what I've been up to recently other than what I described in the paragraphs above.

If you must know, I've been listening to Mindy Gledhill(I should post a song below?) and watching the episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series that I've missed(Gee, I can't believe I missed a couple!).

It's kind of been driving me up the wall lately, the fact that there's people who need help but I don't know how to help people because I usually make things worse.Therefore, I can only smile and talk about random things because that's the only thing I can do for now.

I don't really know what else to tell you (or anyone who is actually reading this blog) but I guess I'll just add a little video to this post.

It's a confuzzling Tuesday, isn't it?

Idiosyncratic Tendencies

In which I am unable to describe my current mood and decide to make a blog post with title that contains one of my favourite words. I like the way idiosyncratic sounds.

Like idio-syn-cratic.

To be honest, something has been bugging me for a long time. I don't think I'll ever post the problem here but I guess what I can say is that you don't remember how much you've missed something till you miss it again.

And again.




And again.







Again.


On a completely materialistic note, I've gotten myself a new pair of glasses! The challenge was to find the strangest pair of glasses that no one would buy. At least I won't miss this pair when someone steps on it again.

There's a lot of uses for the word "again" isn't there?

The History examination was today. I think History holds one fascinating fact that we constantly make mistakes and we are always reminded of it even in the form of a school textbook.

Come to think of it, my blog posts seem to have changed so much. If you check the first few posts of this blog, they were much more materialistic and had a rather cheerful tone.

But as you read towards the present they get more depressing.

Or at least less cheerful.

The posts now drip with boredom. You can almost hear a tired voice seeping through the pages of the blog in a vein-like pattern that spreads out.

I have no understanding of the things I type these days, honestly.

Driving A Golf Cart Up a Fence

Things have been absolutely insane for a while as a result of my impulsive decisions.

Honestly, I haven't really been writing much due to the fact that should I truly write what is on my mind, the blog will be flooded with depressing poems and laments of a tiny little girl who could so very much be called Thumbelina.

Ah, now what does Thumbelina want to say? Oh right. By the way, no more symbolistic third person writing from here onwards. I've got a couple of tests tomorrow and a pile of homework but I cannot seem to feel the urgency and need to do my homework as of now.

Alright, maybe I have exaggerated the first sentence but it has really been an emotional roller coaster so I doubt that exaggeration does not deem as fitting.

PANCAKES. I really want pancakes now.

Carbohydrates in the form of a sweet treat and sticky syrup. All that butter. There are days where I can't decide whether I like waffles or pancakes more. I mean, pancakes are all soft and "buttery-er" but waffles are chewy and has this awesome song for it (Just search up "Do You Like Waffles" on youtube").

WOAH WOOOAAAH OH WOOOAH OH PIZZA BAGEL.

I need to type completely random things that can sometimes be deemed as "childish" by cynical and bitter people (who have decided to stop waiting for Peter Pan to appear at their window and take them away to Neverland) as I like to believe that keeps me from being less open-minded. Kids can come up with the best and funniest things ever and I'd give them my total respect if it wasn't for the fact that they sometimes like to kick you at the cashier counter queues in supermarket.

Somehow I think this idea to act like a young excitable child may sometimes backfire on me. Especially when I start clapping my hands on going "Yay!" when I see the rare Good Job stamp on my test on my worksheets.

Look, they are rare alright? Not every teacher still treats us like kids and stamp these bright green words when we do an excellent job.

I shall now go finish off the rest of my crackers and cheese.

Irony

This is the post in which I show you my attempt to give the almost-instagram (using a polaroid-esque phone app which is not instagram) to a stray cat.

AND YES! I am very much aware I have not been posting anything recently on this blog. I shall, however, not apologise for being greatly distracted by the feeling of being forgotten, school work and Homestuck in that order.

By the way, here's the cat.
