Yet again, another Free Willy Post. This is for every post exam post. Yurp.
So I'm free. Done with exams, and will be home in 5 days. Before that I'll be packing and moving into a new room. Pretty hectic I guess, seeing as I'm still sick.
Philosophy was in one word...bad. Finished in an hour, two essays and absolutely nothing to say. Found out last essay passed at 64%. I'm in ...... lots of trouble.
Righto....
Got a letter from Poppabear =). Where are those marshy cheeps!!!! Lousy post office *makes gah faces*.....
^^ Poppabear writes like how we imagined him to be...teehee....
Dilshan got a DS Lite for his bday. Mario kart is so much fun!!! But he won't buy Nintendogs....=(.
Being pushed off to bed....might as well link to the past drawings:-
Chibi Painter Welcome drawing himself into existence!
Girl In Black, titles are so not easy to do right now. Simple black and white ink, several layers for lace and patterns and veil.
Chibi Girl holding Sign, isn't she cute >^^<. New chibi style.
Grunge boy, new style, I might need to do more...lines and widen him up.
MajorXero, first ever Gaia Painted Realities commission.
That's it for now =).

The Chibi Painter, a must click! The best chibi and cell shade art piece I have ever completed >^^<. I'm so proud naaaa, isn't he cute naaaa.
Took about 6 hours with 3 sketch layers, 1 lineart layer and a ton of color layers and erasing. The shoes didn't come out good but everything else....*squeals*
and I love the splattering paint ^^.
Painted Reality, second cell shaded picture. A composition I'd been idly fooling around with, the disintegration of the wings and clothes, and the unravelling of the obi. The hair acts as a nice frame for a shop name to be put there and will by the banner for my new art shop.
Hades IOA, a NPC Char for IOA, the lord of the underworld...doesn't look very dark ><. Couldn't make him bishie enough, gah. And the shadows....GAH......*sets fire to it*
Hades is fun to rp though xD.
Principles of Public law exam is finally over. Rotten notes, rotten exam and question and cramps! I woke up utterly sick and in pain, during lunch, during exam, after exam, massive back pain and massive cramp pain.
Bleh.....Next one up is Philosophy...sighie...and then moving rooms....and then....home...
I'm going to miss everyone =( and Dilshan ><.....
WAIL.....
Ann has gone home, and so had Vanessa.....Nathalie is leaving tomorrow and Connie is leaving on the 23rd leaving me all alone here for 3 days ><.
Humbuggy....who would have thought I'd miss college and uni ><.

That is so the absolutely last time I'm ever beginning a piece of artwork at 12 ish, finishing 6 hours later at the time when the sun is coming up. Sleepy, tired, weird dreams and missing lunch again. I'm ready to collapse infront of the comp.
Aphrodite the goddess of love, stock from Lockstock. The blond hair was hard.....but discovered smudge tool which was useful to smooth out the skin blends a little. I also think the blond hair had given rise to that weird dream I had about hugging Julian >>.....this college is getting into my subconcious...
Hera, goddess of Olympus and the wife of Zeus. Stock from Saligiastock. The original was very alluring around the eyes so I decided to focus on that. Overall expression, there's some sort of inner pain? She looks young to be Hera, the red cowl (my own creation) lends a more adult look to her so she seems to be a fragile girl yearning to fulfil her role as queen goddess. Same goes for the red makeup around the eyes. The tutorial I was looking at created a powdery coloring around the eyes, but my brush gave a liquid effect....so very frustrating. lips came out gorgeous though. And I like the extra patterning on the gold lining (done with point 3 hard brush, light yellow and many many manually created swirls)
I'm hoping to do Hades next week.....so far have completed four weeks of PPL notes, 4 more today (or tonight I should say) and the rest tomorrow. I should be set.
Drawing lots for our new rooms today too, in about 10 mins. Hopefully I can get some good luck after all those weird college dreams.
Last night a moth flew to my hand and onto the table. Freaked me out to the point I was shrieking at my roommate to go kill it. And she was....fast asleep and had to wake up. Ah.....so...very sorry. But...
I hate bugs.

Hecate, goddess of childbirth is completed. For an IOA NPC, found some great stock photos by Lockstock. Again, I have no idea how to smoothen out the skin.....hmmmmmm......is it a stroke thing?
Aphrodite next.
Dilshan likes his present ^^. Yay....
I'm so happy =)
Slept till 2 today, went to sleep at 6.30 >>.
Today contemplating doing art first and then studying.....
My posts now have been so....un....un.....like....thoughtlike...uh...
Yeah.
Less contemplation. I suppose because I finally have a life? Too busy to sit and think about the moody side of life. Sitting here with my cup of hot chocolate and bread and nutella and sweets and biscuits (gotto see a dentist someday)
And...tadaa...I've managed to proscratinate until dinnertime...

Friday was LMR exam (Legal Method and Reasoning) and after like...a week...maybe...uh.......4 nights of late nights and wailing and art, I brought in like 17 pages of rocking good notes. Surprisingly. Like woah. Really.
No one ever believes me xD. For real though, the problems I had with the exam was
1) lack of time
2) loss of writing skills
3) can't think fast enough.
But the notes were superb...when I needed a case, reference, checklist of negligence, TPA, damages, everything was THERE. In order, short form, easily transferrable.
Even took sometime in the middle to admire notes.
Right before leaving for the exam though, needed those notes and nearly lost them. The printers were being b***** and I ran absolutely everywhere. In the end found Louis to fix the printers and got all 17 pages on lovely.....scrap paper. Blah....it's the content which matters anyway.
Promptly forgot to remember how to get to the REB (Rathdowne Exhibition Building)
It's absolutely huge...massive. Major lot of people. After in order to get my bag, was squished in between...100? 200? Maybe 300 people? We wondered why it took them so long to get their bags. Maybe they stop halfway and go 'oh that's pretty, can I take it?' and contemplate the pros and cons of taking someone else's bag?
Created a journal on DevArt as well as a to-do-list since I'm now being officially commissioned.
Oh yeah, that's right. I'm opened to Gaiaonline or real life art commissions, accepting gold/items/pets on Gaiaonline, money postal orders/art trades for real life.
All art would be watermarked before sent payment, and unmarked after receiving payments.
Latest artwork:- Setanic done for a contest, and Rahu Anthro as a gift to Samus, a anthrofied version of his soquili Rahu.
Took two tries for the hair as the finished result was lost when I was saving it and msn popped up. Gah, frustrating. The second attempt is much better though. I've got plans for a female soquili anthro next.
For a list of need to do stuff:- Devart To-do-list.
Today *10th June* is Dilshan's bday. 21st also......happy birthday sweetheart.
We bummed around, went to Yamato for dinner and had souffle for dessert. Chocolate souffle....is to die for. Teehee. I hope he liked his present, got him an Ipod Shuffle, and even wrapped it in nice baby blue wrapping paper. Well...Ann helped me wrap it xD. We ended the night watching a movie with couple of friends, the first, Kingdom of Heaven was boring....so we switched to Kiki's Delivery Service which was better. Snuggles him.
I hope he have happy days everyday ^^....

In the darkness.....oh wait...it's 4 am...hehe...
Derek sent over a cool video. Sweet song, sweet tune. Check it out->
Have now completed a majority of my casenotes. 3 left, two Acts and notes on odds and ends.
Discovered why my hot chocolate making skills sucked. It was cause I don't have milk. Yesterday did a gorgeous cup of hot chocolate. Yummy.
Have ham and donuts in a box...mmm.
Completed some sets of the shading templates. I'm finally being commissioned. YAY.
Also completed -> Mialee. Happy birthday to her! ^^.
Unsuscribed from a Gaia breedable store also....the owner was lacking appreciation and cordiality towards regulars in the thread. Seriously....how these people be so condescending......I'm getting worked up over it. Better to just forget about it.
*Plots more art*

Sunday night of lazing...sunday morning and afternoon of lazing.
I've realised I now only have 4 days left and thus am totally screwed ><. Ya ya ya...
Study hard, study smart...blah humbug.
Btw baby humbugs are on cheap price at the Original Lolly store (Lygon St.) cute and colorful!
Had pizza and pasta at Papa Gino with Eeps and gang. I've got a gang now..it's rather scary....
Met a couple of Eep's friends from Singapore. Teachers! So young! Wah....ish awed. Cute ne ^^........teachers amaze me......good teachers should be worshipped.
I ended up liking the pasta more....but it was limited in abundance. Ate quite alot for the first time...mmm....
Walked home with Dilshan.......shiawase....more preoccupied with him than with exams ><....what to do. STUDY, study now before you fail! Noooooo.......so I'm sitting here monday afternoon typing up my blog. Fun...
Finished an art piece on Saturday-> Immortality. This was created based on stock photos, my idea of an elven girl. Getting more control over brushes and layers. And discovered ta daa, OPACITY! And hence the veil. I especially love the detail of the baubles across the veil. Right touch and sparkly.
Definitely has the soul of an artist more than a lawyer ><.

Right....onto updates.
Made up with Dilshan after we had our two day um....fight? I suppose it was....I just remembered alot of tears, a headache, lack of sleep, hunger, laying on the floor of my room all day and staring at the tree being hit by light from afternoon sun to evening sun, and yeah...
mmm.....it was miserable....one of the worst two days I've felt since the history-oh no I can't do this, everything sucks, let me leave occasion when I moved into Derek's place for the weekend.
><....who would have thought.....it made me even more miserable cos he was miserable....
Since I know he reads this...you should know how I feel about you =).
Hmm...about Louis. Seeing as this is a continuation post. I suppose we aren't friends. Slightly delusional there but it's true...
See, by his standard of friendship, he does random chat with people either passing his room or in the JCR...we rarely do random chat and really, I suck at random chat.
My standard of friendship, we actually do things together and having conversations which means something somehow somewhere.....by this Derek, Steph, Eeps, Ray, Nethneth, Connie, Ann, Nat, Vanessa, Dilshan, Paul, Lauren......and I'm like randomly sprouting names of people I feel relatively even remotely comfortable talking to, THEY are friends......
So.....a lack of the first by definition, a lack of the second by definition...it's kindda clear >>.
Meh.....=) I feel happier now.
Samurai 7, loaned from Eeps...has taken away two of my study days.....study what study?
Today visited the new pancake place, reviewed by Nethneth, sampled with Derek. OMG......beef rendang pancake...o.0....sugoi, so delicious,so pancakey, so taste like rendang!!
The chocolate is cool too.
And the dessert...more pancakes! With chocolate sauce, powdered sugar and maple syrup. Can we say sin in heaven?
Went around shopping too and got Dilshan's bday present. After they barred me from getting bday present no.1, and bday present no.2, we hit upon bday present no.3 by accident. Relatively happy with it...although where to get wrapping paper?
I've had really weird dreams lately. Two nights ago, there was the one when I entered my bedroom and the whole college was having a party there and it was smoky and dark with flashing lights and franny was being drunk. Paul came along asking what I was doing, and I said, I can't sleep, so he said "oh lemme handle that" and he got pulled into the party and ended up being squished on the bed under 3 girls. Then I went around trying to find the tutors and the foyer became all big with an ornate staircase and an old pulley elevator and the teachers and principal and dean were scurrying about at the back of my mind.....
I had my first drum session today. It was hard.....you think you hit the thingy at the right time and it says you missed, and you gotto pay attention on all the colors and bars and arrrrg, I kept getting E =(
Yesterday Derek came over with nasi lemak...so good. And KFC wicked wings is soooo gooooood. Notice my fascination with food.
Spent a day before that with Dilshan, and we watched Kitchen Confidential. All the women, sex, booze and food you can have =). Great funny show.
Everyone's working so hard....exams..what exams...blah humbug.
I want my harem xD.
Oh yes. Been offered a single room, which I'll be accepting and thus moving out of this room next semester. There's two free East rooms which I'm hoping to snag ><.
We do have better bathrooms.
How strange life is. =).
