Completed my first two ever cg coloring!
They are for my last art auction, outline done in traditional ink and paper, scanned, and colored in Photoshop using new tablet:- Wacom Intuous 3 style~
Woot. It's actually alot easier than I thought. A few weeks ago, I did my first lineart using the tablet. Took some time to get used to hand and eye coordination and mucking around with brushes and handling of the stylus pen.
When I completed the first cg coloring, it was like..woah, that's actually half decent!
I especially love how the hair came out, and need to work on skin coloring, and clothes texture.
Poppabear encouraged me to open a DeviantArt account. So tadaa.
I can be found on http://muarw.deviantart.com.
Currently submitting my past works, all the traditional art materials before updating with newer cg stuff. Discovered the thing about layers. That's such a cool idea! And light and dark and dodge and burn, to create highlights and shadow. Is it to late to change course to creative arts? xD kidding kidding. But this is really great =).
Will upload the auction art after it's been sent.

Easter Break: Keywords include anime marathon, kisses, pie and work
Spent a few days with dearest bf, on anime marathon and tons of cuddling. Yes, if anyone is still reading this, be prepare to enter luffles territory.
Nice ^^.......full metal alchemist is cool. I love fullmetal panic fumoffu.
Monster is scary ne...and we watched a few movies.
On monday, we went over to Doug's for pie and burgers and go and looking at his daughter.
I have to say...pumpkin pie tastes not bad.
Then it was the awareness that I have two essays to finish, and ish definitely on a proscratination streak.
Finally finished the case note on Bujdoso (New south wales v Bujdoso), a negligence appeals case.
10th NEC go tournament: Keywords include waaaaaa sugoi! and blah...work
Took place in the weekend in Glen Waverly. Lots of people...almost 130 players signed up, the atmosphere was great. And so cordial....it was a good polite environment. I won my first game, lost next two. But it was great, I felt the competitive urge. As a 6k, won 7k, lost 5k, 3k.
I felt slightly sorry for my opponents...they seem to have a headache with their heads buried in their hands...
I however....gazed around happily.
Dilshan did even ^^, with 3 wins, 3 losses.
I had to miss the second day to complete case note....mmm, still....met alot of people.
Right now I'm working on the PPL essay....which is taking a massively long time as I'm sitting bored infront of my comp.
Blah.
So cold.....I'm forever wrapped up in a jacket or coat.
Perhaps I'll publish my essays some day. I was rather proud of the case note.

How different everything is from last week!
I don’t feel rushed, overwhelmed, homesick, confused over matter that needs to be started over….
How different everything is!
I feel like I'm in floaty floaty happy cloudy land. Though the last time I was in floaty floaty happy cloudy land, it crashed quickly. And the time before that it crashed for six months....it is not a good idea therefore for me to be in happy floaty floaty cloudy land.....need to come to ground =)
My first date I think…last night…although till the end, I still wasn’t sure he viewed it as a date. It certainly felt like one…..
Dinner at Yamato- shabushabu, delicious. Absolutely cosy, perfect atmosphere and it was two of us, cosy.
Movie- V for Vendetta- how violent, how political, how poetically brilliant. Dilshan said it reminded him of 1984, by Orwell, of a world controlled by a government and one person rising against the corruption. For me, it reminded me of the human strength to rise against oppression, against the overwhelming social control, against ill-truth. Coupled with allusions to literature and old school romanticism, it is certainly different from other political movies of crass violence. Though I did not agree with the part where he tortured the girl just so she can lose her fear.
I love how he would lean close to whisper a point. I love how he would lean in close to listen to me. I love how he noticed when something from the movie gave me a sudden shock. I love how he makes me feel just by sitting next to him.
Chocolate at Max Brenners- if this doesn’t make it a date, I don’t know what will.
Two Italian chocolates, two of us and tons of laughter after. I don’t why but he makes me laugh. Not anything particularly funny, not anything he says, but still, it’s funny! A good kind of funny……the way he shrugs, the way he says things. The way he looked when he realised his hugmug doesn’t say hugmug.
How adorable.
Perhaps perhaps. I’m in the stage of being in love.
I like the way he makes me feel. A fluttering excitement with comfortableness. I don’t think we need many words…..though, it is aggravating to not know exactly how he feels, what he is thinking of, still, it is alright.
How different everything looks. I can’t stop looking into his eyes, seeing his smile, watching his expressions. It’s weird….
What a change…..

Not to say that I'll actually post photos here. In fact I think I've made it a signature of this blog to never put photos up.
But...anyways.
Recharged camera *ta daa*
Got photos of the go club! David and Dilshan and some other players of the go club, and some of our games, and of wanton at the restaurant.
Then of the MUOSS night market. They had belly dancers...waaa...also one male dancer! Gorgeous ne.....for some weird reason, I've only ever seen male dancers in indian dances...
How much I miss performing! The stage, the costumes, the cold fright crawling down your arm, and the joy of letting go of everything and not having to think!
Just the dance, the dance, and yourself.
MMM....tiny syruppy pancakes...
I wonder...how much of yourself do you tell someone, and how much do you tell another and what makes which one true?
Friendships are a funny thing......I think one places too much hope, too much expectations in another to the point they imagine facets reflected within themselves. They believe ...because they want to believe, it makes them sure, confident, able to think about complexities. Able to think what the other is thinking....
Frindships are a funny thing....sometimes you'll just have to trust that you won't know everything that is going on, and just know that you can do the best you can offer. And sometimes...you have to trust what you have to offer isn't what the other person needs.
Some people are drunk outside the college...I wish they'd turn on the heaters.
What a pleasant dream....
What a delightful concept of happiness we have...
Oh yes. Received Philosophy 500 word essay back.
H2A grade =)
Absolutely delighted. Though..he mentioned I would have gotten a higher grade into H1 should I have displayed independence of thought by not reading and citing too much.....o.0.....plagiarism ne...
Workscheme today was bearable. More people = more delegated jobs, less crankier task master. Excellent.
Time to sleep liao. Nitenite.

I worship thee *drools*
Derek and I discovered....we have no food. Pitiful.
Stuck infront of the computer, doing work, late night, no food, and it's cooooold.
And we are both sick. Pitiful...
Thus today was grocery shopping day. We hike it up to QV, and practically ransacked safeway.
OOOO...bread *drools*
Did I remember...to say. The other day I took out two slices of bread and discovered a furry little thing clinging to one of them......
Moving on...
Juice....20 cents difference from large bottle and small bottle. Be kiasu, take larger bottle.
Yoghurt..good for when taking antibiotics. Makes good dessert too.
Those lovely chocolate biscuits are on special...*yoinks many*
Also got more cup noodles, kaya jam, random in and outs.
We got foood!! How beautiful everything is eventhough it's cold and grey and dire, but foood...*sings*
Ai...found out so many new assignments. Already next one for history and philosophy questions are out. And two law assignments due in the same week.
Stress stress....
Discovered a weird lump in my knee that is painful when touched. I hope..that it has nothing to do with the time I fainted and hit my head and needed to go for theraphy.....
It is quite weird tho...I wonder why it hurts....it is the bone beneath me thinks..
Also Saiyuki Reload ><
How different from the first season. This one is poor imitation. I feel sad.
I successfully used an atm today. *ish proud*
Also...discovered we could use the keycard at the supermarket...so don't even need money!
Full force onwards for the campaign for go club president. =).
I got ideas..lots of ideas.....
I've fallen in love with the voice of the man who sings in Straight No Chaser's 12 Days of Christmas. What a wonderful singing voice....
However worried am I about simply...no desire to work....how lackadasical....
*yawns*
How I worship thee foood.....

OMG...I'm bleeding...
With no warning or apparent wound, blood started trailing around the back of my legs around my feet.
It felt sticky, so I touched it and then smelt blood.
Great...now blood appears from nowhere...I don't see glass or puncture-able objects around, so my body has decided to leak out precious red juice for nothing.
*Inspects*
There are 3 small tiny pricks at the back of my calf. *wonders in horror how much blood could have come from such tiny tiny break in the skin*
*Hurriedly cleans it up*
There's absolutely nothing to be worried about....*nervous hehehe*

Perhaps it is time for a rest. Though my mind has somehow locked onto that automode since the holidays...in effect creating the fog of incomprehensibility, but truely now I'm physically tired, just want to curl up and snuggle beneath my blankets. Sweet sweet dreamless nights.
How pathetically whiny and negative I have sounded for months. This shall be a balancing post. Let me remind of some good things in life.
The past three days have been essentially crash and continue to crash weekend. I've been holed up at Derek's apt, working halfheartedly on history note taking under the swishing of his whips. True he himself relegated his time inbetween worshipping his 19 inch wonder and playing honey and clover songs on the piano (he's good to tell ya), it was atleast productive....I started note taking! On essay! Due on tuesday!
The weather has turned freezing, cold feet, cold hands, running back and to the bathroom on tip toes. Religiously making hot herbal tea from the peh pa ko medicine Grandma gave and coughing hackingly aside.
That of which, the doctor confirmed today, I have a bronchitis infection. This after I had slummed back to the college, shivering from a fever and tenaciously weak bowel syndrome. Thusly....I am on antibiotics.
On Monday night through Tuesday morning, history assignment 1: Total world war : World war one : question 3 debate of slide into war, was completed at 6 am on Tuesday. Handed in after four hours of sleep. Surprisingly...I can be quite punctually awake eventhough it takes Connie her full force of meanness to kick me out of bed on Wednesday and Friday morning for law tute.
Eepeep said my essay was too colloquil.
Derek says he's sick now.....sowwie big brother.
So...stressed, tired, sleepy, sick and depressed.
Onto the good stuff.
I'm dreaming of a fantastic go club. That's it. I'm running for president. These ideas run wild in my head =)
I'm sure dear Zomb will help and already I have the agenda for the next year planned up.
Thanks to Derek for his support =).
There are quite good food around if we know where to look. The Vietnamese noodle house on campus is delicious.
So is a combo of Baccio, caramel and strawberry icecream.
Though I've lost 30$ to missing workscheme, atleast I figured out my bank thingy and can withdraw money.
Handed in my history essay and don't have to worry about anything for atleast two weeks, aside from the sickness.
Atleast...I'm hoping I don't have anything.....
I feel alot better about friends. There are always people you can say hi to, right?
So many great songs, especially leeched from Derek and Steph. The opening of Honey and Clover- Yuki's Dramatic, songs by Spitz, Straight No Chaser's Insomniac, Kung Fu Generation's NGS. They make me happy.
Dancing, twirling, playing air guitar in my room tonight.
Yay for photoshop.
Derek installed it on Sunday, and we got totally freaked out when 'Adobe Spacemonkey' was launched in place of photoshop. Turned out to be a prank.
We laughed like anything. I can now use my tablet!
Derek says why no one cares when I get sick is cause I get sick all the time and then I don't die.
We cracked up on that too.
The heater lent by Patricia is making my feet toasty warm...*glimmers*
So wonderful to speak to Sammy, Zomb and Alex again. I hate the idea that uni and life here is taking away time with them. It's nice though also to meet new friends. Now I cannot think of a day without seeing Poppabear and the guys from TOG.
I also miss talking to Dilshan on msn. I miss the idea of seeing his virtual smile.
Power Puff Girls Doujinshi is back! With the cover of the new chapter. The artist is amazing. Highly recommended.
*dances to Dramatic*
Let's go watch a movie next month. I wanna do a anime screening marathon at someone's house. Lovely....during easter break!
Being in the go club rocks. I love seeing the new players come in and learn something. I love seeing the flow of the game and the politeness of players. I love how I can now spot some bad moves, and know of better ones.
I love to watch Dilshan's face as he plays.
I love being there and being contented.
His and her circumstances:- Tenshi no Yubikiri (opening song)
You may dream.
Chase after it.
If you can convey
These sincere feelings, your dreams can come true.
You may dream.
Pure white love becomes wings,
As if the promise of an angel is coming true
When I see your profile in passing,
my heart begins to flutter and dance.
Listening to your voice as you talked,
I realized there was another "you."
I wish I had just a little bit of courage
To gaze into your eyes.
You may dream.
Chase after it.
If you can convey
These sincere feelings, your dreams can come true.
You may dream.
Pure white love becomes wings,
As if the promise of an angel is coming true.
Every time your face shines,
my heart hurts, and I close my eyes.
Heart-break turns into tears,
Selfishly overflowing.
Without being afraid of getting hurt,
I hold my little finger out to the mirror.
You may dream.
Hold me.
Right now, I want to
Change these thoughts into words: I love you.
You may dream.
Pure white love becomes wings,
As if the promise of an angel is coming true.
You may dream.
Chase after it.
If you can convey
These sincere feelings, your dreams can come true.
You may dream.
Pure white love becomes wings,
As if the promise of an angel is coming true.
When I find the opening of Honey and Clover..it shall be posted.
For my final note:-
I don't have to have these dreams no more
Found someone to hold me tight.
It come's from Insomniac. I haven't technically found someone =)
But I do enjoy the occasional huggle from friends.
Let your laughter be forever in this world. Let your smile light up my world.
