El Blog A La Tiffany

OMG!!! I nearly DIED today!!! I was taking a shower (as usual), then I bent down to get the shampoo, and I suddenly got this painful cramp in my lower back (no, it was ABOVE the ass). It was so sudden and painful that I nearly bashed my head against the glass!! I must say, I used to do sports a lot (USED TO is the keyword here), namely swimming and badminton, but NOT ONCE EVER, have I gotten a muscle cramp doing sports, although I see a lot of people get it. I have only ever gotten cramps TWICE in my life, and neither of them involved sports. Once was the shower time that I just mentioned, and the other time, I was sleeping... -____- So the only times I've gotten muscle cramps were when I was sleeping and taking a shower, hmm... Both my parents concluded that it was because I've been sitting in the beanbag for too long, ahh... things parents make up to get you to stop playing video games... ANYWAY, I think it's because I didn't do any warming up exercises before taking a shower and sleeping. :| Yes, that must be it.

In other news, today, I went with my bro to get his MRI scan... I mean X-Ray (for his teeth), and I was playing pokemon in the waiting room (as usual), then there were these asian kids (2 brothers, both primary school, I'm guessing) who started watching me, and they started talking to me and playing their OWN pokemon and asking me stuff:
Li'l Bro: Where are you up to? I'm up to the electric gym.
Me: ...I've finished.
Big Bro: I did the rare candy cheat and I got a level 99 piplup. Wanna vs??
Me: ...No.
Li'l Bro: Can you help me get into the electric gym??
ETC ETC.
When they left, my dad's like 'You DO know that you're a university student and they're in primary school...?' SHUT UP!!! It's not my fault random kids always talk to me because I have a spastic immature face!!

In other OTHER news, I was THIS CLOSE --> |-|
from getting a Wii today. T________T STUPID BIG W ran out of stock (apparently all the Big W's in Sydney are out of Wiis) Just when I managed to freaking convince my dad to get me one!!! THAT'S IT!!! I'm gonna go get one at JB Hifi tomorrow. xDDD I just hope my dad doesn't change his mind tomorrow, lol. Ahh, nothing like playing on the guilt of a parent leaving a child alone for 10 days to guilt trip them into buying a Wii...

PS I've been playing pokemon and I randomly had this image of EXTREME otaku guys having a conversation comparing the size of their 'pokeballs' xDDD
Otaku A: I got great balls
Otaku B: Oh yeh? Well, my ultra balls are better AND bigger than your great balls!
Otaku C: Y'all suck! I've got MASTER BALLS!!
xDDD Yes, I'm sad. I've been playing too much pokemon and reading Shounan Junai Gumi (which Shan lent me and is a very 'guy' manga)

Hello~ Blog where I can say what I want!!! Recently (mainly due to pre-exam procrastination), I joined mixi, which is like a Japanese version of Facebook/myspace etc. I sound like a phoney sissy in my Japanese blog entry!!! ARGH!! It's mainly due to the fact that I can't express myself in Japanese very well, everything I've learnt in Japanese up until now has taught me to talk in a nice, lady-like fashion.THAT'S SO NOT ME!!! T____T But I find it ironic how people say that when they meet people online, they can really be themselves and not phoney, and people don't judge you according to your appearance and stuff, so meeting people online lets you meet people heart to heart. IT'S FALSE!!! I find it so much more easier to be phoney online instead of talking to someone face to face. The point is: YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE ONLINE!!

This takes me back to a question Carrie asked me about The Heartbreaks and that temporary moment of procrastination during the HSC: 'Why do chicks come to you when you call yourself the Heartbreakers???' Ahh, I've waited for someone to ask me that since I decided on the name Heartbreakers... Delving into the female psychology, girls just can't resist the bad-guy-who's-nice-underneathe. They can't help but hold the stupid hope that these bad guys would change their ways for them. THAT, and also for the fact that I had a hot avatar.

Anyway, back to mixi. There's this guy who was Yan's mixi buddy and decided to comment on my blog because he wants to meed foreign friends. I feel obliged to reply to the comments. ANYWAY, ZOMG!!! He writes all these LONG COMPLICATED comments that takes me ages to decipher and even longer to reply to. T____T I actually went down and analysed it with Carolin (who's doing Japanese 4A) to decode his comments. What's worse is the fact that he replies like 1hr after I reply, so now it's like we're having a conversation and I can't stop... T___T I'M WASTING SO MUCH TIME REPLYING TO HIS COMMENTS WHEN I SHOULD BE STUDYING FOR STUPID FINANCE!!! I feel like he's trying to test my Japanese and that I'm doing a project... Actually, there WAS a project like this in Japanese last year. One of the options of the project was 'Submit several pieces of writing online and people will read it and comment on your writing. You must respond to their comments... blah blah.' Now I'm starting to think that that project was actually on mixi. xD I DO remember the teacher saying something about setting up an account, lol.

The other day, my mum came in and accused me of flushing pads down the toilet. Since I have NEVER flushed a single pad in the toilet in the entire life, I started accusing my brother. xD Yeah, bad judgement. I think he was pretty traumatised when I explained to him what a pad was... The reason is that recently, there's this pipe in my front yard that flooded due to heavy rainfall. All these rubbish floated up from the pipe. My dad unearthed tampons from the front yard amongst the rubbish... Since I've never used a tampon and my mum didn't do it (apparently), I conclude that the pipe's contents doesn't only come from my household. Yes, I shall stop now before y'all puke on your keyboards.

Last night I went with Wira to the Justin concert. Justin is this HKie singer who always wear a hat (to hide his receding hairline, apparently). It was better than I expected, actually. I must say, despite the fact that you get a lot of HOT guys with HOT hair walking around, I really don't like walking the city alone at night. T____T This pair of guys was walking in my direction and on of them said 'Excuse me, love.' My reactions were:
1. 'Huh?'
2. *thinks* Oh no, they must want money or drugs or something.
3. *Walks away before they could respond to my 'Huh?'
I'm so paranoid!!! They might've only wanted to ask for directions, but I'm just so paranoid, haha. THEY WERE SUSS LOOKING, OKAY!!??
Oh yeah, I saw 'si lai' Obaasan (around 40's - 50's women) at the Justin wearing boots and a mini-shirt... YUUUUUUUUUCK!!! x___X

Since Wira decided to be late (as usual) I got distracted and went to Capitol Theatre to check out new gachapon. They have big Naruto plushies for clawing!! T____T I'm SOOOOOO glad I already own all the plushies that would've tempted me in the skill tester (namely Gaara and Kakashi). If I hadn't been on that plushie frenzy in HK and bought the plushies, I think I would've spent around $50 on skill testers by now. >_____< Haha, but I'd get SOOOOOOO majorly pissed if I spent ages clawing for a Gaara/Kakashi plushie and accidentally ending up with an Orochimaru plushie. xDDD YUCK!!!!! I don't want to sleep next to Orochimaru!!! Who in their right mind would WANT an Orochimaru plushie!!!??? It'd be so creepy if you woke up with all these dead snake skin beside you or something. *shudder*

Anyway, waiting outside Entertainment Centre nearly gave me lung cancer!!! T____T Stupid HKies who all stand outside smoking... I didn't realise so many of them smoke... Anyway, I rate the concert as GOOD. Actually, before I was thinking that I didn't know that many of Justin's songs, but I DID!! I guess I knew them without really realising that I know them... if that makes sense. xD The costumes were REALLY HOT!!! But they all kinda got ruined because of Justin's cap... Like he wore this red jacket with gold buttons and gold chains... which didn't really suit his random black baseball cap. xD Then he wore this hot tux with upturned collars... also with his baseball cap. xDDD And they had fireworks!!! I'm glad they're kinda gradually introducing fireworks into concerts in Australia, cuz before usually the concerts are of lower quality than HK ones because of lack of costumes, fireworks, special effects, props, dangling ropes etc. Like, some of the concerts in HK are really fancy, like with jewel studded thrones, funky helmets, robotic animals etc, but here, you only get singing and some dancing because shipping those props are obviously unfeasible. *Sigh* I understand that's the way it goes, but still... 残念だった...

The only bad part about the concert was the guest singer, Theresa Fu (or whatever her name is) from Cookies. MAN, SHE'S SO SHIT!!! There's this old Vivien Chow song that I really like, and STUPID THERESA sang a remixed version of that song and IT WAS SO ZOMG SHIT!!! SHE TOTALLY KILLED THE SONG!!! I think it would've been better if she sang her own songs instead of a remixed version of someone else's song, at least there isn't anyone to compare her crappiness too. AND HER DANCING WAS CRAP. (not as crap as her singing, still) IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BOOTY, DON'T ATTEMPT TO SHAKE IT!!! Shaking booty dances only look good when you actually have a booty... Like, I didn't think she was this shit before, but now I know.

I've realised that concerts ARE really better when the person can sing!!! xDDD This might sound obvious, but sometimes you can like someone because you listen to their songs all the time or something, and not because they sing good. LIKE TWINS!!! I thought their concert wasn't that great, maybe I was just pissed off that stupid Gillian kept forgetting lyrics and had crappy showmanship (like she didn't smile or anything). So, even though I know and like most of Twins' songs, I thought their concert was crap. I realised that even if you go to the concert of someone you don't like as much, it's still enjoyable if they CAN SING.

Concerts which gave me a higher opinion of people than before:
- Hacken Lee
- Jackie Cheung
- Justin
- Wilfred Lau (well, he doesn't sing THAT well, but at least I know of his existence after the JAWS concert xD)
Concerts which gave me a worse opinion of people than before:
- Twins
- Theresa Fu (or whatever her name is)
Concerts where people remained neutral in my opinion list:
- Alex Fong
- Stephy Tang
- Alan Tam

Yes, that's my analysis of Hkie singers. They ALL CRAP NOW!!! (Maybe except Justin, but then I might just be brainwashed by cool costumes) Come back (young) Leon, Andy, Jackie and Aaron~~!! T____T And Vivien Chow and Hacken... Well, technically, none of the above have exactly retired, but it's just not the same as the late 80's - early 90's xDDD Oh and Beyond too, too bad the lead singer's dead. It feels like God just wanted all Hkies to die of bad music. xD

'There once was a grand city, with tall sky scrapers and great music. But the people of the city became proud and soon thought they were better than the Heavens itself. So the Heavens became angry, and sent his Shinigamis (xD) to smite all those who made music good. The lead singer to Beyond, the youngest of the Hui brother (sorry, I forgot their English names xP), Anita Mui and ...That gay guy (I also forgot his English name -__-). Last and worse of all, he sent down the most wicked of all wickedness demon onto the city. The demon soon disguised himself as a human, and took on a job writing lyrics for songs. The lyrics were so horrible and non-sense-making, yet, the disguised demon kept getting music awards for his crappy lyrics. Eventually, the demon drove out other lyric-writers and the lyrics of most of the songs within the city was composed by this demon, and no songs made sense anymore. Thus, the music industry of this city was ruined, the once-proud people of this city could only reminisce those days when music was still good. Now, the demon still roams the city, whispers say that his name is... Lam Jek...'

xDDD Makes HK sound like Atlantis, at least it didn't sink under the sea. But it might soon, one day the earth is just gonna go 'NOOOOO~!! Bad lyrics, wuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!' and swallow up the whole island. xD

EHHHHHH~!! Having a really hard time deciding whether I should apply for that Boobooski thing that Agnes introduced to me last year... -___-; For those who don't know, basically you sign a contract and you work in a ski resort in Japan for 3 months. You get around US$1100 per month and accomodation and food is included.
Why I want to/should go:
- It'll help improve my Jap (a lot) hopefully
- It'll help me get independant (considering how sheltered I've been all my life)
Why I don't want to go:
- I'll get lonely
- I'll be stuck in a country where I don't understand what people are talking about
- The work load is... HK standards (ie working on saturdays too I think)

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just turned around and there was this DOG???????????????????????? LIKE WTH??????????????? Actually, I'm sitting in my basement room next to my garage and my mum's left the garage door open because she was gardening. And I heard something and I turned around thinking it was my mum and I saw a dog next to me!!!!!!???? Then I started yelling because I was so surprised and the dog got scared and started backing away... MAN!!!!!! I NEARLY GOT A HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I wouldn't have reacted as scared if it was one of those small cute dogs, but it wasn't. -________- I think my lifespan just got decreased by 10 Years...

Anyway, back to Boobooski, yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah~ I don't know whether I should go. My mum sorta said something which made me wanna go, like: 'You gotta leave your comfort zone.' Then Yan says something which makes me NOT want to go, like: 'You gotta sign a contract?? Then don't go, haha.' Arrrrrrrrrrgh, I have being so indecisive xD Actually, this time it's more fear of loneliness than indecisiveness, because, if I get into trouble, there'll be no one to turn to. T______T No nakama to support me and give me strength...

Anyway, in cosplay updates, I'm happy to say that Sasuke's dictatorship is crumbling! People are actually suggesting other ideas and starting to stand up. ^____^ *sniff sniff* I'm so glad to finally see people rebelling, although my idea didn't get through, I'm glad I did it anyway to give people courage to stand up to Sasuke's dictatorship.

In other random news, I've finished reading Hana Yori Dango!!! I must say, it has a really shitty ending. -___- But who would've thought that the guy with horrible curly hair turns out to be so... loveable. Analysing HYD, some bits are those typical Shojo-boring-dragging-on-for ages crap, but some bits really make your heart go 'Doki Doki' xDDD I realised that even I, have a shojo inner child!! xDD I feeling like going to a cliff and yelling: 'OKAERI, SHOJO CHAN!!!' Haha, haven't felt this intense doki doki feeling since... Whenever. WHAT'S EVEN WORSE, that Arashi guy who I'm on the verge of liking is the acting the part of the curly hair guy in the live action... THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! It means I'll fall in love with him... SQUARED!!! xDDD Matsumoto Jun * Curly = Doki Doki^2 DAMMIT!! I don't like this side of me T____T I feel like I'm turning into a sissy... I mean, I'm getting random urges of growing my hair out and playing piano again, damn shojo brainwashing. Btw, I'm REALLY tempted to watch Meteor Garden now, but I'm really scared I'll end up falling in love with F4 (Especially Jerry) AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT!!! Aww, but I still want to watch it. But F4 is so gay. My heart is so conflicted at the moment.

Hmm, I randomly went to badminton yesterday, and now MY BODY'S REALLY SORE!!! I mean, just moving hurts. I'M SO UNFIT!!! ARGH!!!

-edit-
Hmm.. Forgot to blog about that wedding I recently went to.

悲しかった！！！新婦はとてもきれいだった！！本当に大美人だった。。。羨ました！！その夕べに、あなたはあたしを抱きしめた、これはあたし最初に男の子を抱きしめる。。。いつも、好きな男の子のために、ファスト抱擁を保留している。。。その夕べは悲しかった、でも、泣くことがない。。。本当にその戦いを勝ったと思った。。。でも。。。なぜ今心で寂しい感じがある？

On a practical note, the wedding was relatively enjoyable because I've never been to a wedding in Australia before. They had mud cake for their wedding cake!!! My bro's like 'I want an ice-cream cake for my wedding if they can have a mud cake.' In that case... I WANT CHEESE CAKE AT MY WEDDING (with crunchy base)!!! And I nearly LOL-ed when they played Savage Garden's 'I knew I loved you' when they were playing their lovey-dovey slideshow. I literally got goosebumps because it was so... lovey-dovey... I WANT GACKT PLAYED AT MY WEDDING!!! (Probably not Vanilla though) A bad thing about sitting next to my bro in these situations is that every time I leave my seat and go to the toilet (which was a lot, cuz I fully loaded myself with... err... coke), when I come back, some girl would be sitting in my seat talking to him. They're not even people I LIKE!!! Like those badminton bitches that I've always not liked. (Including Gamy)

There was that bouquet toss thing, my mum later asked me why I didn't get up and try for the bouquet. I told her that I wasn't desperate (unlike Gamy). This has nothing to do with the wedding, but I told my dad that I wanted a Wii, and apparently there's only 2 ways he'll get it for me:
1. I get in the habit of excercising to the degree that I actually LIKE excercise. (Where I started arguing with him how me hating excercise is like a gay person wanting to turn straight, but can't)
2. I get married, then I can put Wii on my get-this-for-me-for-my-wedding list. -___-
OH! THE DEGREE THAT I'D SINK TO JUST TO BUY A WII!!! No, I am not going to get married to any random person for the sake of getting a Wii...

I remembered, when I first arrived at the wedding, I quickly loaded myself with a whole load of red wine... Then when the priest guy was like 'let's say grace', I just remember bowing my head while he was saying grace thinking 'OMG, my head feels like lead, I wanna throw up, wish I didn't drink all that alcohol without drinking water and eating anything.' Then I got scared that I'd do something I'd regret, like a drunk しつれん person would do, so I kinda just sat there staring into blank space for much of the time. This is embarrassing, but my own li'l bro had to kinda bribe me with food so I'd stop drinking... Anyway, that's Tiffany's Wedding Adventure for now!

Haha, it's so difficult writing an essay on "filial piety" (treating your parents good) when your mum comes home and starts arguing to you about something unreasonable and hypocritical. Anyway, she totally sucks, haha.

So I've started reading Ouran High School Host Club due to peer pressure. It's cute!! ...Yet wrong. xDDD I wonder if the host clubs in Japan got more customers because of the influence of Ouran. I doubt I'd have the guts to go into a host club though (even though I'm tempted to... thinking about hot guys and their hot hair). It'd be so embarrassing! >___< I'm starting to understand the feeling guys get before they go into a strip club or a whore house. xD That's, if they feel any form of embarrassment at all... Even if it's not as extreme as going into a strip club or a whore house, I'd still feel embarrassed going into a host club, being served, and coming out of a host club, haha.

Anyway, in cosplay news, I went to Su's house to do my Kankurou costume (in the time length between this post and the last post xD)! It's not much of a costume though, I just need a black turtle neck and black pants. Despite the simplicity of my costume, I still managed to sew my collar inside out. xDDD I suck. Luckily, Su, the sewing guru corrected my ways (and unstitched my mistakes). Sankyuu to Su for so much help!!! Now I've only got my hat and sandels to make. (Get it, country of sand - SANDals, huh huh huh.) I'm tempted to wear the sandals (after I make them) to uni, but I'm scared it'll fall apart, then I'll have no sandals for cosplay and I might step on a syringe or something. T___T

In cosplaying news, I went with Su to meet up with the rest of the Naruto group! It was really awkward waiting in front of Kino, not knowing whether people were in our group as well. It so happens that Justin (Priscilla's ex from high school who's from a grade above us) was there too... For a fleeting scary moment, I almost thought he was part of our Naruto group. xDDD To my suprised, he greeted us, and to my further surprise, he remembered my name. xD Anyway, after the Naruto people arrived (around 20 out of the 30 people in our group), we went to one of those restaurants along China Town which only white people eat at. The food was crap and expensive (a jug of coke was $10!! :O:O:O) AND the worst thing was: I got stuck at the non-Konoha table. T____T
1. It meant I couldn't sit with Su, who was Neji.
2. I got stuck on the table with Sasuke on it - the girl who's a control freak.
3. This was LITERALLY what the Konoha table was like compared to the non-Konoha table:
Konoha: Haha, yeah, yeah. Totally! HAHA! That's SO funny!! *chatter chatter* *buzz with excitement*
Non-Konoha: Shi-------------------n. *cough cough* *awkward silence* ...Hey, let's laugh when the Konoha table laughs. (to not sound like losers and to sound popular or something)
NO EXAGGERATION!!! Damn racist people!!! Just because I'm not from Konoha!! xDD It's totally racism!!!
Anyway, afterwards, we went to Galaxy World (I don't know why) and I got to socialise with Shikamaru who was totally cuuuuuuuuuuute!! x3 Haha, and he's nice too (unbelievably). He goes to my uni! However, I think he's gay, haha, from the way he speaks. If you use the standard measurement of Alvins, with Alvin being 1 Alvin, Carson from Fab5 being around 2-3 Alvins, Shikamaru would be around 0.25 Alvins I'd say. But that's ok, haha. Meh, forgot what happened with rest of socialising, so I won't talk about it. xD *doesn't remember anything unrelated to Shikamaru*

On other Naruto related news, Yan and I have formulated our theory on why Temari is a blonde, Gaara is a redhead and Kakuro is a brunette (black hair actually) (in the anime). Everyone with adequate common sense will know that that's genetically impossible. So Gaara's mum, who's a blonde (I think) and Gaara's dad, the Kazekage, who's a blonde (I think) got married and had Temari, who's also a blond. Genetically correct so far. However, Gaara's mum bears Kankuro who has black hair next, genetically - impossible. Two blond peoeple can't give birth to someone with black hair. So therefore, Gaara's mum had an affair with someone else and so Kankuro isn't really Kazekage's real dad. Kazekage, knowing this, obviously becomes suspicious and Gaara's mum is labeled whore of Suna because she sleeps around. Kazekage then decides to sacrifice Gaara's mum because she's the whore of Suna to give birth to Gaara, who has red hair. And this is the reason why the 3 brothers and sisters all have different coloured hair and Gaara's mum was sacrificed.
