Art post. Tired. WotLK.

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:07:00 +0000

It's been very tiring lately, and that's most probably because I've ~~never~~ wasn't exercising much. I have a basic treadmill at home which I usually run on about 10mins (WELL, BETTER THAN NOTHING RIGHT) ... Orz.
Work isn't getting any lesser. And it's frustrating to leave work early because of the jam nowadays. But still, the working environment here beats my previous job by a mile. IF ONLY eating there wasn't sh!t expensive......

Art post:
Art commissioned by Crimson Domingo @ y! Gallery, her original character: Sasha from her Supernatural fan stories (thank you~!) I realised I enjoyed CGing more with this style ^^

WoW rant:
Got my WotLK expansion and also reactivated my account from the hype of it (oh noes). I really really need to do a research on the new paladin talent tree. DAMN. I'm currently putting my BE pally on hold in Aman Thul's server. And starting a new Draenei pally on Proudmoore instead *waves to Miaow* (agh I've got a super duper long way to go again orz..) I love pallies. I'm abandoning my hunter already ^^;

Ah not to forget Comic Fiesta is just around the corner. AGAIN! It's so frighteningly SOON! T____T *haven't start on anything yet* So basically I NEED to do: (1) doujin (2) 1 more commission that I've been dragging (wwaahhhh soooo sorry T_T).
On the other hand, I WANT to do: (1) play WoW (2) play SH5. YES. PLAY PLAY PLAY.

I even declined to go to a bar (Luna Bar; which I actually like) in order to spend some time in WoW tonight (sorry..) YES I'M SO HOPELESS...! Cause in the end my fun-o-meter weights WoW higher than anything else at the moment... Har har har... *shot*

Gackt 2008 Calendar.

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:25:00 +0000

I've been wondering if Gackt would ever try a super-short, neat & NORMAL dark hairstyle all these years (it's one of my fav male hairstyle though). And then there's Gackt's 2008 Calendar......... *looks above pic* .............. You've gotta be kidding meh! @A@; *faints* More pics of it from Love Potion No.9

I must've been very outdated.

ANYONE SELLING IT? I SERIOUSLY WOULDN'T MIND IT'S SECOND/THIRD/FOURTH/BAJILLION HANDED AS LONG THE IMAGES & QUALITY ARE STILL FINE! Urrmm... *dust + wind blows...* Ah, I'll be honest to myself & face the reality: it's impossible I could get my hands on this by now (it's already November 2008. la la laa~) OTL

I thought I would only see this kind of hairstyle possible in manga/anime for guys (especially with glasses, tee-hee) BUT alas Gackt actually has it entirely for his 2008 CALENDARRR~! Dangit, this' what you get by not keeping watch on your Gackt websites from time to time..!

Anyone who doesn't know Gackt & thinks he's ghey; SHAME ON YOU. He has a voice that's 100000000000x manlier than yours >D

I hope I could find bigger scans of it at least T___T That site previews only small thumbnails publicly.

New titles to look forward to!

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 15:16:00 +0000

There're still lotsa reasons to have my PS2 back from my 2nd bro, OR even getting a brand new PS2 slim (if my current old, fat PS2 decided to die on me).

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The King of Abaddon (PS2)
Moar Raidou~!!! >8D Yum!

Persona 4 (PS2)
Wth, I'm not even finish with P3 yet. Orz. But I like the concept of eyeglasses... Hee hee..

Some other PS2 titles that are great but I haven't had a chance to play are Okami, Shadow Heart 2/3, Digital Devil Saga 1/2, and 1 more I just forgot what the title is...
Not to forget I haven't even finish with a number of games (Rhapsodia, P3, etc.)

King of Fighters XII
For the PS3! OMFG. Iori FINALLY has a new costume! Wha?! Exposed lower waist detected! HAWTNESS! (is it unhealthy to drool over a pixelised character) >A<;

So many games, so little time. It's so sad. Can I just live with a part-time job? Of course not! Sigh. I miss my school days for this. Ahhh emo doodle of girly men >D

There, I procrastinated my entire Saturday with watching IRONMAN, drinking 3-in-1 coffee by spoon, looking at game videos, downloading Silent Hill Zero tracks, etc. WHERE I SHOULD BE DOING MY WORK INSTEAD (brought home work to rush on for Monday & Tuesday's deadlines) Orz

A little procrastination..

Homer Simpson tries to vote for Obama

This cracks me up lol XD Haven't gotten tired of watching it.

Encyclopedia Dramatica - dA
I didn't know it is THAT messed up & dramas happening...;;;

AHHH SILENT HILL 5 ------- !!! \*A*/
Despite the site's trailer looks cheap like typical western horror-thriller movies *sigh..* and forum comments about it being 'The Game of Silent Hill: The Movie' instead (the trailer obviously sounds like it already! What happened to the unexpected, open-ended, bizarre air of SH~???) - BUT as a SH fan I'm getting it no matter what. The SECOND TRAILER LOOKS ALOT BETTER though! That's what I remember SH used to feel like at least.

I miss Alex's initial character model though (a.k.a. Dean Winchester lookalike) T_T But the final model looks decent alright. His VA is good :3

Some quick David A's stuff I'd wanna bookmark...

Archuleta Avenue Malaysia.
Our very own local stop catering for Malaysian Arch Angels! <3 Hurray!!!

David Archuleta Singapore!
Title says it all~

Ford Day Performances

Performing in full length, "Angels" by Robbie Williams.

First time performing his first single: "CRUSH".

And also my ultra most favourite, "Imagine" by John Lennon (full length! now i've gotta rip this off to mp3 just to listen). Can't help laughing at what he's trying to say after performing "Crush" ('you know.. I don't know.. you know.. I hope I'm not anyway..') XD

On some personal subject...
*REALY* should pickup my tablet & draw again by now. I still have 2 commissions left undone and I'm sososoo sorry again m(__)m
October is approaching, November, then comes December! (CF2008alreadyHOMG!) *lies flat against the floor somewhere...*

Hari Raya week my new company (joined mid Aug) went for a Japan trip, leaving 4 newbies behind (yup, including me who'd DIE to go to Japan with a FREE FLIGHT TICKET & HOTEL STAYS) ............. How ironic. But I always remind myself there'd be a day I could save up enough to finally afford a step on Narita Airport. Yes.

1 week break starts! Mechanical Yeti <3

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 18:47:00 +0000

And so my 1 week of break starts! YEAHOOOO!!!!!

WoWblagh:

Mechanical Yeti. ISN'T HE CUTE?????? AWWW XDDD He follows you everywhere, fights with you (sometimes not), and even runs after you when you're mounted! The mob versions are uglies, but didn't expect the mini version to look this adorable!

I didn't know I can only summon it for 3 times..! (quest reward). And the non quest reward is non-combatant; so it's pointless. Though I would've get one as a pet companion if it weren't so doggone expensive! (about 200g in my realm) =A=;
One more level for epic mount~! And off to Outlands I go...

P.S. My hunter looks ugly as hell atm (except for the helm, he looks cool in it IMO) XD He used to be wholly 80% red. And now it's... rojak-ed! Red + green + blue + yellow = Vomit. But it helps in better DPS though >8D
And recently I've just noticed, most equipments looks better in FEMALES!!! OTL

Letter of Resignation. Art. Bunraku

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:53:00 +0000

Just printed out my resignation letter, and I got myself another job! ^o^ So it's 'throw letter and face the questionnaires day' tomorrow! XD *gulps* And then there's a 30 days period before I get to leave....... or more? OTL -Never know what excuses would come up.. OR they'd rather terminate me immediately..? *dreams*

There's a few reasons why I'd love to quit my current job, even though it's been only my 3rd month currently. The fact that most of the former staff has left could explain it in a nutshell, and the dreaded feeling I have whenever I woke up to work is enough to tell myself that I'm not happy with this job and the working environment (bosses arguing with each other frm time to time for petty matters as I've witnessed) What I had in mind whenever I think of them is: Ignorant humans. Nuff said. Though I mentioned 'a few', I could go on alot when it comes to complaining.. so I'd better not *grumpy* =_+

Art post!

This is Asuka Yoshimoto, 2nd commission piece for y0sh1r0 and I'm glad he likes it! ^w^ It's been awhile since I drew anything...! Also it's my first time drawing on my new desktop [Luffy 2.0]! (frm 14" screen to 22" screen) *_*;

Also, while wiki-ing on Vocaloid for Gackpoid, I just discovered that Gackt's gonna be in a movie called BUNRAKU, alongside with Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore, and Ron Perlman (Hellboy)! OW MAI GAWD. No kidding. Gakuto going for western exposure?? Not sure with the director though; I read from a IMDB board post mentioning that the director himself went to Japan to invite Gackt for the role in a gracious way that he just couldn't refuse it (OF COURSE you won't refuse it dude!) True or not, I'm definitely excited about it!! XDD 2009!

Job 3rd thoughts.

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:33:00 +0000

Working on yet another public holiday isn't helping myself to like my current job any better (when I tried to). The only bright side is that I'm learning alot - but in a very short & limited time since almost every project needs to be rushed. Not to forget when something needs to be done fast in a 'forced' way, e.g. working OT till midnight in 3 days straight including a weekend public holiday till the next morning 5am. Now I've worked for at least 17 hours in 1 day! A personal breaking record that I'll be happy to not have it >__>

On another subject, I'm HAPPY to read about this news! Not that it's unexpected, but he totally deserves it. It'll be blasphemous if he don't get a contract!! \(>A<)/

BTW, I'm starting on playing WoW. I've always been wondering what's so addictive about this game, now - I know... =3= (harga minyak naik, I invest on WoW pulak, aduhai~)

GTA IV. Job 2nd thoughts.

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Sun, 18 May 2008 12:51:00 +0000

It is a time where I wish I'm vacationing at my uncle's place in Melbourne even though it's gonna be boring. It's HOT like **** here =____=;;;;; Even the tap water is warm.

GTA IV, love! LOTsa places, roads, internet, dates, activities, people, etc. to explore. I'm not even familiar with the first place yet (my Niko just moved to Bohan, the 2nd place). I only miss the 'skip journey' option on 2nd try missions... it's frustrating to drive all the way frm Broker to Bohan & failed the mission, & drive all the way down there again on retries.. >_>; Currently I can't pass Brucie's racing mission, of all the kind of missions, I HATE racing... and I don't touch racing games.

My job, I'm not really happy to know that I have to work tomorrow, which is a public holiday (Wesak Day) here. My boss eventually forgot this holiday and promised the client to deliver the work on Tuesday. Deadline supposed to be on Monday, so he thought he pushed back a day more for us to work on it, wow, thanks.

But isn't the work time frame are managed by the Project Manager? Isn't he supposed to know that Monday is a public holiday & negotiate with the client about it? (AND remind my boss that there's a public holiday inbetween & see what're the options???) I know client is ultimately important, but we employees have our rights and personal plans too! What if I've already booked a flight ticket to Langkawi, do I have to cancel it just because "Well, what to do? We don't have time already..." kind of BS.

Regarding other BS:
Work on public holiday..
Me: Isn't Monday a public holiday? We have to work also?
Project Manager: Yala.. But you can claim back leave from XXX.
Me: (Am I supposed to be relieved? NO!)

Work on Saturday..
Project Manager: Halfday? Who told you Saturday work halfday one?
Me: (Are you the boss?) Who works fullday on Saturdays? (other than Animasia)

Urgent work..
Project Manager: You choose lah. You wanna work on Saturday fullday or Monday you wanna stay back.
Me: (niama..) Both days sucked anyway.

Sometimes I dislike the way he comes asking "Have you finish XXX already? I need to show the client today" all in a sudden when he didn't tell us when's the deadline in the first place. I'm only on my first month and I'm starting to discover all these shitty kind of time management already.

Another thing's been bugging me is.. the company used to have a Flash actionscript programmer (he left after last month), so now = 0 actionscript programmer except my boss.
There's also a Flash designer, but leaving after this month I think, so in the near future = 1 Flash designer which is ME.
There's 2 interns helping out, but they're finishing after June.
There's a networking and server techie (I think), a web designer (solely designs only, not putting it into work), and 1 more fella I don't even know what's he's doing actually...
So I'm VERY worried, what if the company really works with only 1 dude for each position (1 programmer, 1 flash designer, 1 web designer, 1 techie, 1 etc.) WHOA. That'll be very risky and stressful with the boss coming to you every hour asking have you done anything especially towards the only programmer and flash designer. Getting an interactive website to work by only 1 programmer and 1 flash designer is NOT NOT NOT safe. What's more with the management-inefficient Project Manager haunting you & making you work extra days just because the client wants it fast. Negotiation is part of your job, dude!

I'm gonna give another month or two. I wouldn't have taken this job if I've known the hierarchy & team status (2 seniors leaving) of this company. Lesson learned: FIND OUT OR ASK ABOUT THE COMPANY'S TEAM (and status) BEFORE YOU TAKE THE JOB... next time. I'm such a dope. Sigh.

Remember to VOTE VOTE VOTE for David Archuleta!!!

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Tue, 06 May 2008 17:22:00 +0000

I might be late, but it's never too late anyway - SO, I just knew about this: International fans can now vote for David Archuleta through http://gizmo5.com/pc/idol/. I'm not sure if it'll be free in doing so, I haven't got the time & brain energy to figure it out since it's almost 2AM now & I need SLEEP 3__3; WHY didn't I open my email few days earlier! Orz...
US fans, REMEMBER TO VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

Right now my opinion consists of 75% possibility of David advancing to next week, & the remaining percentage that's he's not (considering all the shocking early eliminations thus far) - It's worrying, since it's down to only 4 contestants now. From last week's results show, David clearly seemed (very very) shocked himself that he's returning for this week's Top 4. He's *GOT* to be in at least Top 2!

All the best to David in the upcoming show! *prays*

I don't have the mood to talk about my work at the new company except for 1 word: D U L L . Ta-dah~! n00b human walking. American Idol was what made me looking forward toward this week & the next & the next & so on... (yes, I ought to have a 'life'). And I'm also looking forward to the release of GTA:IV! >8D

David Archuleta - Think of Me
Speechless. I'm already a fan *has a cut-out photo of him on my table cork board* (THANK YOU, STAR newspaper!) & I definitely love whatever he sings simply because of his voice. I LOVE his voice, and it'd especially stand out whenever he sings songs like these. He did that fan sign yet again, this time in a very obvious & readily way IMO XD AAAAHHAHAHH *dies happily* Ryan seems to like picking on him; Leaving him on stage, the prom date question, choosing sides, & now letting some girl audiences to hug him before he performs *envy~* >A<; Anyway, we get to see the humble side of him on stage <3

I like David Cook's "The Music of the Night" as well. In fact, he's rapidly becoming my other favorite next to David Archuleta. And this week's performance of his has proved he could do great vocals too!

Wanted to rewatch the performances again on youtube but I'm tired sitting in front of the screen all day 3_3 Guess I'll do that tomorrow or weekends. HURGH~!
Some gaming before I hit the sack..... or not. Good day & let today, tomorrow & the following days/months be more colourful & pleasant~~ *hopeful eyes*

Happy Bday Miaow! A news. KL drive. David A - When You Believe

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:56:00 +0000

Happy Birthday to Miaow!!! >8D
Many many happy wishes to her & hopefully her dream will come true someday soon! <3<3<3 Can't wait till Sunday & we have a nice yummy dinner yaarrr! (yay mar'che~) 8D~~~

I've got a somewhat good news, all I'm sad is that I'm gonna lose my 'days of staying up all night & sleeping in the morning' UNEXPECTEDLY REAL soon T__T It's unhealthy to stay that way (with no income) but I still love doing that & I'm so gonna miss it.. Orz

And and... I drove to KL for the first time yesterday (Wednesday)!! Me and Ash went down to Jalan Ipoh to check out a travel agency. On the way back to PJ, I almost hit a car in the back with a sudden break on time thanks to the wet road. PHEW. The buses in front just stopped in the middle lane. GRR! Luckly I was driving a Kenari with a super short front. Thank god!

David Archuleta - When You Believe

I wasn't mentally & emotionally prepared & was surprised he sang 1st! @_@; Gosh, leather pants, short-sleeved shirt, he's actually doing that secret FAN SIGN when he held his hands over his heart (I once read about this 'mission' from a Fan Blast post, but I'd admit; I didn't expect it to happen, but he actually got the message & he did it! T_T More about it here) AND he's singing a song that happens to be one of my favorite song from The Prince of Egypt (honestly I didn't know it was by Mariah Carey & Whitney Housten) *shot* What can I say? I'm a very happy fan! *dies*

Some game rants, Art post, David A - Angels

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:31:00 +0000

I miss my PS2. I also miss the days I get to enjoy playing RPGs all day long on my PS1 without much worries (homeworks: 3/4 were copied, exams: 2 hours of study perday, school curriculum activies: 98% ponteng).

Final Fantasy VII was my first RPG game; that's the reason why my bro got our PS1. Wild Arms or Breath of Fire III were my 2nd/3rd RPG game. Suikoden I & II, Xenogears came later. Resident Evil 3 was my first survival horror game thanks to a friend of mine who 'forced' me to play it (I was scared of playing RE games, but not till I actually play it! >8D) King of Fighters '96 was my first fighting game on the PS1. As for PS2, my first RPG game was Final Fantasy X. First survival horror was Silent Hill 2, first action adventure was Devil May Cry. And the rest I lost count.

My first PS3 game is Devil May Cry 4! ^o^ Finally got it yesterday at Summit after going for Street Kings with Ash (then rushing back home for American Idol 7 on 8TV). The shop dude was giggling at the way I took out my money (kept my monies at separate places: wallet, pants & bag pocket - don't ask me why) #_# And it's NOT cheap okay? The only other thing I'm willing to pay RM200 or above are books or a hair makeover (like once a year?) =A=

A commission from y0sh1r0 on his OC, Takayuki. Here's only the lineart of it. Finally I have ~~some~~ art to post...!

David Archuleta - Angels

David performing "Angels" by Robbie Williams on his Top 8 Inspirational Songs Week. Somehow it's expected he'd sing this song @_@ "Despite what you're going through, there's always a light in the end of the tunnel". You go, boy! His live performance was better than his studio version IMO 'cos I *LOVE* how he ends his song in the performance <3 >83

Too stubborn to sleep. David A - Smoky Mountain Memories

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:30:00 +0000

Even though I kept reminding myself to sleep earlier & wake up earlier each day, it ends up the same in the end :\ It's SUPER hard to discipline myself in sleeping early. It's because I LOVE spending time or doing work during the midnight silence, and it's less hot. I should find a midnight shift job >D

22

Taken from Nightcat yet again. I find the banner interesting in fact XD

David Archuleta - Smoky Mountain Memories.

As far as I know, I've never seen & listen to a live performance that could make me go teary. That fact has changed now ever since I saw David first performed "Heaven", "Imagine" & then most recently "Smoky Mountain Memories". It's another ballad that brings people the 'chills'; at least that's what I felt whenever I watch & listen to this. His voice & the way he sings could really connects people towards the song *swoons* <3

The David Archuleta "You're The Voice" Project

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:35:00 +0000

I owed my copy of "You're the Voice" to a kind volunteer of YTV Project, and they're really doing a great work together on bringing David Archuleta's Top 10 song choice's inspirational message across the globe to fans & non-fans alike in a manner of unity & charity. How cool is that? :D

I'll just quote a paragraph from their main site:

"Many fans in the US and around the world have started the David Archuleta "You're the Voice" Project in order to rally people behind a common cause of inspiration and motivation for the future. By way of spreading David's version of "You're the Voice" around the world, connecting David's fans in the US and overseas through the gift of song, we hope to motivate people to unite. However, we are hoping it does not end there. We are hoping to be a charity group, recruiting volunteers and raising money to help people in need and to deliver the message of unity and goodwill that David exemplifies to all of us. All of these services will be credited to David himself because he inspired all of us to not only find the good in one another but also to find the good in ourselves."

Anyone who would like to support & purchase David's "You're the Voice" from iTunes but couldn't do so because of accessibility or financial difficulties or for whatever reasons, YOU CAN GET YOURSELF A FREE 'GIFT' from their own pre-purchased copy of YTV courtesy by fans in the US!

Not to forget, if you're living in the US & is willing to volunteer & help this project grow, don't hesitate to contact them as well. Spread the word to any David fans you know! ^o^ For complete information, just visit their Facebook site or click on the image above.

Happy Belated Birthday to my dearest friend, Ashwin. Spent the entire Friday out with her: Morning - KWSP Office, Afternoon - Subang Parade, Night - Sunway Pyramid & Taipan's Starbucks... OTL *dead tired but too stubborn to go sleep*
I missed this week's AI7 Results show! ;__;

David Archuleta - You're the Voice.

I've only began to recognize the song once he sang the chorus of the song. *WO~OOH~OHH~OH-OOOH~!* I used to listen to it from somewhere long time ago but I can't remember though. He seems nervous at first..? XD But I still think it's a great performance. Also, by now every David A's fans would know that this song he performed has a strong message to every fans throughout the world. YEAH.

So anyone who has access to iTunes, PLEASE SUPPORT DAVID & BUY HIS TUNES~! "You're the Voice" studio version is without a doubt, another brilliant song by him.

BTW, I realised my song player has already exceeded its bandwidth limit.. AGH~ I didn't expect it to exceed *this* fast 3_3; I'm just gonna put up only David A's songs from now on since I'm a fan. But again, please support & buy his tunes through iTunes if you like listening to it. AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL --- THOSE WHO CAN VOTE: KEEP VOTING FOR DAVID A!!! If you're a fan, never ever stop voting so vote for him each & every week! Vote! Vote! Vote! >8D

Pets World 2008 Exhibition Show @ Mid Valley 28-30th March
If I'm not mistaken on the banners I saw on the road; First I actually mistook the banner for a 'missing pet ad'. That photo of a dog is just so wrong. Or is it just me...;;;

YUE website revamped! Some attained & wanted BOOKS.

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:56:00 +0000

Our doujin group YUE's website has a new layout!

And that's about it. I'd even forgot to put up a section to introduce Fabius, our MASCOT which's frequently ignored by us unintentionally...;; But what we're most concerned about is: After 2 years, could we finally produce YUE #7 this year??? .............. Stay tuned, folks! XD

Had an outing at Times Square & KLCC with the Animasia folks last Sunday (miss you Lynling~!) *3* Finally got a chance to visit Kinokuniya! Also finally got rem's Vampire Kisses manga, and also unexpectedly, I found what I have always been looking for:
Dictionary of Classical Mythology!

I've always wanted a dictionary or encyclopedia of this subject but usually the ones I found are expensive. This book was cheap since it wasn't a high quality print, but what matters most to me is the amount of entries & descriptions. There was another huge & THICK dictionary that costs only RM106.xx (hard cover too)! That really seems comprehensive to me *sparkling eyes* but my budget was tight & I don't wanna carry a huge book all the way back by LRT.

ANOTHER BOOK I WANTED WAS...
the latest Gackt photobook, 龍の化身

 I assume it would be a Fuurin Kazan themed photobook? If it is, I 120% WANT IT! It looks gorgeous from the cover and some small thumbnails surrounding the book. And it's THICK (160 pages) with hard cover if I'm not mistaken. I don't usually invest money on photobooks *only owns 1 Gackt photobook & none other* but judging from the few small previews I've seen, the 'photography style' (orwhateveryoucallit) looks beautiful *_* OYE, it's GACKT. OF COURSE HE'S BEAUTIFUL!! *smiling widely by herself* Especially if it's Fuurin Kazan themed, then it would be worth it (from a Gackt's fan POV) >w<

Should I get it from Amazon.. SHOULD I??? *___* Since I'm planning to get Kazuma Kaneko Works III soon as well. Scans of it can be found at BeYourTrueMind.
I'm contemplating. Whether should I cancel my Vergil ARTFX preorder for these 2 books. It's bad to get obsessed with stuff ;__;

AI7 Top11 - David Archuleta's "The Long & Winding Road"

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:08:00 +0000

By far this is another instant favorite since he did "Imagine" by John Lennon during his Top20 performance. OMG, the rabid fangirl SCREAMS!!! =3=; (erm.. I'd do the same thing if I were there though... bleh) It's overwhelming; and it's funny when Randy's trying to break in through the screams to begin his comment XD So I youtube-d for David's performance & manage to find a good quality clip:

*squeals* ARGH. As Randy said, he's brought the HAWTNESS back! YESH. I'm SO glad & happy. What's notable was Simon praising his performance as "masterclass" ...and he clapped o_o How often does that happen? I don't know though, I wasn't an avid AI fan previously. But I know something like that doesn't happen much from a judge like Simon. My fav comment was Paula's though:

"..the fact that you could rise above adversity, & come back strong; that challenge doesn't builds character, it reveals character."

T__T That's a perfect one for David. WhoO-!!!
Now I'm wondering how to get a hold of David's "Long & Winding Road" studio version, since Malaysia doesn't have iTune..... (we can't vote, at least let us buy his tunes..?) Orz *is playing archuletafans.com's audio player instead* I'd preferred the performance's version, but the studio's version is still great & I WANT IT \(>A<)/ <3<3<3

Revamps!

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:48:00 +0000

Did some new changes here, and added a MyFlashFetish player to the top sidebar *points* There's only a few tunes by David Archuleta at the moment since I'm usually listening to these only lately *YEAH!* "Angels in the Alleyway" & "The Most Beautiful Part About This Is..." are by Me'rrick Christensen (ft. David Archuleta).

Also revamped my portfolio site, and given a new very simple face lift to tisubox.net's main site. Somehow, I just realised my portfolio's layout color is dull (duller from bro's LCD monitor..) Orz

I've been refraining from viewing David A's recent performance online.. (it's more exciting to watch on the big screen) Can't wait for tonight's American Idol 7 on 8tv!! <3

Portfolio. David~! <3

I kept hearing weird noises at the moment, and I think it might be my dog's stomach..? o_o; (she didn't eat anything the entire day!) There's food in her bowl left few hours ago but she didn't touch it at all. Currently she's soundly asleep on the mat by the curtains. OYE...

I have so many games I want to play (or continue) ! It should be an opportunity for me to do so now, but at the same time I'm having doubts of getting a job with my current portfolio. To be frank, I 'sighed' whenever I thought about my portfolio... I think it's not good enough, plus I don't have any work related to web designing. It's a shame for that to happen since I was a Multimedia Design graduate *SHAME~* My diploma works was so 'ancient' I'd rather keep it in the dark =3=;

So in order to remedy that, my top priority now is to create 2 random websites with a decent design/template by the end of this month! At least with that, I could start applying for jobs with extra confidence. A person used to say that; "sometimes experiences & skills are the result by force" or something like that.. and I think it's true o__o

Interesting yar? XD Taken from Nightcat.

I am currently obsessed with a 17 year old boy.. and his name is David Archuleta..! o_O *gets shot*
David wasn't at his best on last week's AI performance.. but it seems most of the guys did bad on last week I reckon..? David must've chosen a livelier song since Simon commented that David was getting gloomy on his previous performance of a song by Phil Collins (but David's EXCELLENT on ballad/slow songs IMO) >w< His voice got me obsessed with him *watching & rewatching his clips on youtube* and well, he's undeniably cute..! Just hope he'll pick the perfect song & do what he's best at on his next performance!!! *SOKONG 120%!* Yo~

Back to 'measure land'..!

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:01:00 +0000

I'm back on job hunting. Sigh. It's upsetting when dreams and ambitions fall victims to money & time. At least they learned their lessons, and we get some of the experience in this field. And no, we won't give up yet.

At the moment I'll just need to get a job for a steady income. But my portfolio... OTL I'm still contemplating whether to cancel my Vergil preorder or not since that company hasn't receive their stock yet. But I wanted it so bad T__T *lame*

Since I had a sudden amount of free time (sigh) I get to finish my Phoenix Wright (Justice for All) game where I'd previously abandoned in the middle of the last case. And now I'm in the 2nd case of the 3rd game (Trials & Tribulations).
Young Phoenix is SO ADORABLE ISOWANNAGLOMPHIM~!!! -despite him being a wimpy guy then XD *abuses the Gyakuten Saiban Encyclopedia* And... I THOUGHT Ron Delite is a female character..??? @_@ (before I play the 3rd game) Eeehhh...

Speaking of wimpy guys, in RL, it's irritating when I see/meet/know one. I can't believe how could a 28-29 years old guy thinks like a 16-18 years old.. Sometimes even a 16 year old boy could think even MORE POSITIVE than him. It's rude to talk rough to a person, but I couldn't help it especially whenever I see him behaving/thinking so pessimistically...! I don't know how he plan to live on with his next 50 years of life in the future with a weak mind & spirit like that =3=* OH BOY. Hence, I wasted a few minutes of my life with this paragraph...

Orz

David Archuleta!

He's such a sweet sweet sweetheart >w< Especially his powerful voice, I'm completely spellbound since I saw his "Heaven" by Bryan Adams performance on Hollywood week (I didn't watch the previous AI7 events).

The most recent one, he performed "Imagine" by John Lennon. Love it! \(>A<)/

*melts*

Why is my eyes seeing doubles when I'm not feeling really tired.. @__@? I can't clearly see what I'm colouring.. whether out of the line, or within the line, or a proper matching colour.. What I see now is like a fragmented effect applied in Photoshop's filter (did I make any sense..)

I need to finish colouring as much pages as possible (I'm taking more than 2 weeks to finish 1 set of comic) *snail* I shouldn't have went out for lunch at KL!! *nervous+worried+blur+regret* T__T Previously [LUFFY] started to make that groaning motor sound for a long while.. it sounded like it's gonna explode anytime.. @_@;; And then somehow it stopped making that noise... Yet I have no idea what was it or what caused it to run that way... *sayang laptop* PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME AT THIS TIME. Orz

Just felt I need to rant off some stress here... Hope I'm not causing a major mistake or negative impression with my ultra slow-ness.. I AM worried.
Will need sleep early to rest my eyes & continue work later.

Vergil ARTFX

noreply@blogger.com (chibiying@lexaross) — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 11:01:00 +0000

THINGS I SHOULD DO:
[1] Finish my 1st comic submission 'hardworking-ly'.
[2] Finish my 1st comic submission as soon as I can.
[3] Finish Tsa's logo as soon as I can.
[4] Finish Ethereal chapter 3 for YUE7 by 21st(?) / as soon as I can.

THINGS I SHOULDN'T DO:
[1] Watch AVGN videos.
[2] Watch Ghost Hunters (TAPS) on youtube.
[3] Watch American Idol s.7 on 8tv.
[4] Hunt for DMC3 Vergil ARTFX figurine online.
[5] Blog.

Ironically I did everything on "shouldn't do's" & did NOTHING on "should do's" >8D Someone should whip me! *headshot*
But I promised myself to finish my work submission by the end of next week. I feel so bad for being so lame & sloooww... T__T (sorry ben, will work hard! and smart!) T__T

And why would someone release something like this:

EVIL #_______# How could they release something so evil like this. More clearer, bigger photos of him here.
I thought there wouldn't be any decent Vergil figurine, & now there's one, & it's f-ing expensive. It costs almost RM300 in XL-Shop, and RM300+ elsewhere online. W-H-Y-??? Now I just hope I got my preorder & my card works fine (Yes, I actually went & order it!) o_o Hence, the $$$ that I reserved for getting DMC4 goes to THIS. Heck, this' even more expensive than getting DMC4. But I really hope my preorder goes fine. Having a cool Vergil figurine has been one from my wishlist.

Back to work. I procrastinate TOOOOOOO much I should be ashamed of myself.. OTL
