Dawn is here....

wohoo...after my mentally stressful days last week, finally dawn has arrived....
I got my phone back, and now it's as good as new...

apparently the motherboard for the phone was faulty, which is why i kept having those charging problems a couple of weeks ago.....(pfft, pretty 'lucky' to be getting that phone....its like, i'm destined to get a faulty phone....=_=)

ANYWAY~~~
now that Okita is back with me, it's as if the burden of waiting has been lifted off my shoulders.
(so, time for more photos..!!!)
i've been on a stagnant with my photo uploads lately, well...because my phone incident and also my laptop..
i can't edit much photos in the office now because i haven't got much free time....

So, most probably i'll have someone else edit the photos should we have any future photoshoots..
As for the AFA ones, maybe i'll get tsu or relyss to help out......

RIKO :: i'll pass your kazuki shots to tsu/relyss to edit ya? coz i really have no free time...i need to rush a whole lotta stuffs in the office....
And my laptop dying on me isn't helping much.....=_= i'm now using my bro's netbook, and it's TOO SMALL TO EDIT ANYTHING...

So yeah.....well, hopefully i can get my new machine in January 2011.....coz my condition now...well, it's pathetic...^^;;; BUT, i'm still eternally grateful to my bro for this machine....

Mood : ^o^

Stress status...LEVEL UP!!

yeah....with recent stuffs that had happened to me, i believe my stress status should've leveled up.
Falling sick worsen the whole condition...

I needed to rant this pent up feelings, but then i don't feel like opening my mouth to express them...oh well, that's what blogs are for rite?
Yeah, well...i'll be getting off work in less than 1 hour, but then.....today's Friday just sucked...
I had no mood to do anything at all....ok, being sick is only part of the reason...

I'm worried about my phone.....somehow, i get this uneasy feeling that i've made the wrong choice....
Yeah, i love the phone, but with it giving me so much problems, i feel it's just not the right phone for me..

I've already sent the phone for warranty repairs since last week, and till now there's no news..
i called the shop up yesterday, and the lady told me that there hasn't been any news on it yet.....GOSH, why must this happen to me?
I just needed a phone......why can't it go smoothly...

2010 is a bad year...yeah, well..there are nice things happening, but i hated it more than i loved it....

On a random note....
well, i know there's a dinner with my fellow colleagues after work...but i just can't make myself to be all hyper and happy....
i practically have no mood to enjoy now that i'm feeling like shit, and that my laptop is dead as well as my phone's condition, unknown......
i just want to go home and bury myself in my bed....

Mood : Cranky...

PS : coincidence? The song title.....*points up*
well, let's just hope that it really gets better.....they say that before dawn arrives, the night is the darkest......=_=
so i'm praying that my night is over and dawn has arrived.....

finally........it happened....

yeah well...i finally know what is the final thing that would be out of order...
1st was my phone battery....
2nd was the pendrive..
3rd was the laptop..
and finally now......

it is my health....

Yeap, i've finally fallen sick.......The last time i had a flu was back in January.....and after 11 months of endurance, my body finally gave in....
After popping the little red medicine of doom, now i'm feeling giddy all over...

Oh well, but better sick now then later..
CF is less than 30 days away and what better time to fall sick if not now?
Besides, i'll be going to Taiwan on the 28th of December, so i might as well have a full blown flu now rather than bringing this dreaded disease to Taiwan with me....

So, gotta look at the bright side of everything y'know.....
Also, i had a good laugh in the office today because of the stupid remark a certain colleague of mine made...LOL!!!
it was EPIC...LOL!!! about heart health and BaK KUa...LOL
(never ask a sick person for ideas....absurd things will be mentioned...)

PS....i've decided to get a 27 inch iMAC after i'm back from Taiwan....so for the time being, this little petit netbook will be my best friend....*smiles*
So, no photo editing from me until i get my iMAC......SORRY TEAM~~~!!!!

my SUEYness hits it's prime

yeah, well..remember my entry on me being suey?
that my handphone and pendrive died on me?

well, this time it dealt an ultimate damage on me..
My laptop is finally dead.....Yeah, after 5 years (or so) with me, it finally died.
I'm not sure whether i could retrieve the stuffs in the hardisk, but somehow, surprisingly...i do not feel that much pain..

yeah well, i know i have to fork out more $$$ to get a new machine, but somehow i didn't feel that frustrated. Maybe i'm already immune to it? seeing that the blow of spoilt electronic devises have been haunting me since monday.

1st it was my Handphone. The battery was giving me problems and that it couldn't be fully charged no matter how long i charged it.
Sent for warranty maintenance and hopefully i'll get good news...

2ndly, it was my pendrive...it was an 8gb pendrive of no more than 3 months. Yeap, it died on me..
something about being corrupted and that it couldn't be read on both MAC and PC.....

the 3rd one is my laptop. I was using it normally, surfing the internet with my winamp on...and all of a sudden, the entire laptop went poof....it shut down by itself....after attempting to on it, this appeared

" Operating Systems not found "

yup, i know it's some serious stuffs when that shit came out..
So, even though the stuffs in it could be retrieved (my bro told me it could...*crosses fingers but not gonna put much hopes*) i think it's high time for me to get a new machine..

Financially counted all my expenses and well, hopefully this year we'll be blessed with Bonus and increments.....else, i think i have to really 'JIAK CHOW'....
that blardy iMAC is RM6886 for heaven's sake...=_=

Mood : fucked up......try having your laptop/PC die on you, and you'll understand how i felt.

*** spoilers Hakuouki Hekketsu Roku episode 6 ***

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL BISHIES~~~~
why the hell did they kill off 2 characters in Hakuouki episode 6??????
OMFG.....

**** spoilers....if you dun wanna be spoilt, then...click that 'x' button on the top right (if you're using PC) or on the top left (if you're using MAC)...LOL!! ****

ANYWAY~~~
I expected Okita to well....die in episode 6, but i did not expect SANO to die too..!!
i m like..WTF??? SANO is supposed to be the surviving member of the Shinsengumi..and here he is, being the first to die.....(well, don't count Kondou..because he dies in all of the characters storyline)...

Sano and shinpachi should've survived the in the story....but here Sano goes and die first........
okay...i thought that'll be the only death in episode 6...Boy was i wrong..
The heartwrenching scene is only about to start...

Souji, despite his condition, comes and 'visit' hijikata and demands to know why he didn't save Kondou....and then walks off after being told by Chizuru.....
Yeah, well...he overhears a bunch of wannabe samurais wanting to kill hijikata because he couldn't retaliate much in his injured condition...

Souji, using the last of his strength, turns into a Rasetsu and fights......using up the rest of his life...yeah, in short..he dies...
It is just so sad that before he engaged in the battle, he coughs up a pail of blood (lol..yeah, no, not exaggerating here...REALLY It'S A LOT~~!!!)

Even so, he pushed himself and mumbled to himself......
‎" Since Kondou-san entrusted the Shinsengumi to Hijikata-san, I've gotta protect him...right? "

Then, he started killing the wannabe samurais, and when asked who he was....
This was his final sentence...

" Shinsengumi 1st Unit captain, OKITA SOUJI~~!! "

while hijikata is slowly limping his way to the outskirts of town (after hearing there was a White Haired man fighting to protect the town), Souji is slowly dieing, and when hijikata finally arrives at the scene of the battle, only souji's sword remained..all bloodied and battered.

It was just too sad...i believe Souji had turned into dust (because that's what the Rasetsu becomes when they die)
and the ending theme elevated the sadness......T^T (Souji's part is the most poignant part in the ending theme...T^T)
I actually lost interest in Souji a little because he had so little air time in the anime, but after episode 6, i will forever love him....
SOUJI!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3

as for episode 7.......yeah, mark my words......Saitou's the next to go...
he died in Hijikata's storyline.....in the Aizu battle.....
so yeah.....after Saitou's turn, it'll be Sannan and Heisuke (they used up their lifes and turned into dust)

It'll be great if they had the anime follow the general storyline......but.....well, you can't please everyone...

Souji, you'll be forever loved..!!!!!!

SUEY beyond words.....

It's either there's a God of POVERTY walking behind me, fanning me his unlucky vibes, or i am just plain SUEY...

First, after coming back from my Singapore trip, my newly bought handphone of not more than 6 months, had battery problems....
I charged it for a day, and all it showed me was a pathethic red bar left in the battery gauge.
There was indication that it was charging, but then the battery just wouldn't be full.......
BUT, i've sent that for warranty last night...hopefully all would be well.....
(in case you were wondering, no...it didn't go 'scuba diving' before, not had it 'bungee jumped' without a string...in other words...it has not been submerged in water nor was it blown with impact from dropping...it was a well protected phone....)
STILL, it gave me problems......(should've gotten an iphone instead, maybe such problems won't surface?)

NEXT, my pendrive...today..died on me...
I just got it less than 3 months ago....my 8GB Pendrive(Brand) USB pendrive....
i was trying to transfer some files into the pendrive, then....it got stuck at the 2.82gb part....for god knows how long..
Tried on another machine.....ALSO the same thing..
THEN i tried it on a PC..(the previous 2 times was on a MAC).....to no avail also..
so i decided to reformat it......what happens next?
well, in the end the thing became just a scrape metal......couldn't be read at all on both MAC and PC....so yeah.....i RIP i guess.....
time to get a new one....
MOst probably i'll get a 4GB one now instead...and i'm changing brands...this one sucked......a mere 3 months and that's it.....

I wonder what's going to spoil next?

Mood : Fucking pissed off.....

Next Up.....CF!!!

Now that AFA is over, time to look towards the future and welcome Comic Fiesta.
(my AFA report is conveniently at my DA journal, so go here for my thoughts on AFA X >>> AFA X : The Report)

Okay, hopefully there is nothing much to rush for CF except the fact that i need to either maintain, or lose more weight...
Also, i'm still contemplating whether or not to use my real hair for my cosplay....LOL..yeah..all those petty stuffs...
But most of the major stuffs are already settled.....LOL...recycle cosplays FTW!!!

my main concern now is ......my colleagues are planning a lot of makan sessions these few weeks..and with close colleague's birthdays and day trips....well...let's just say i need to work extra harder when i go home for my daily jog. Meaning instead of 5 rounds, i have to jog 10 rounds?
or maybe i have to go on extreme DIET once again once the calendar hits December.

YEah, well....with cosplays, my main concern is always my weight.....i'm not gifted with CLAMP like bodies, nor long and slender legs like.....sailormoon's?
THOUGH, i believe i'll feel more comfortable this year...LAst year i burnt a lot of eyes and mentally abused a lot of event goers.....So no more female cosplays this year...WOHOO!!!!
no more heels.......WOHOOOO!!!!
no more SHORT SKIRTS..WOHOO!!!!
no more thick make up WOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
(yay.i can sleep later..hahhaahahahah..RIKO YOU WAKE UP AND MAKE UP FIRST LA LOL!!!!)

AHEM~~~
so yeah...random rant coz i can't concentrate liao..LOL!!!

CF BANZAIIIIiiii...!!!
(i hope Kaname & Aira could appear here too, but meh...you can't please everyone..T^T)

WOhoo...!!! i'm on leave for 1 week after this..!! (ok, including the weekends la...LOL)
it's been a while since i last went for a break...the last time was.......during.....CHINESE NEW YEAR OMAIGOD...!!!

ANYWAY~~~
i'll be disappearing from Malaysia from tomorrow onwards till sunday night, because i'll be flying down to SINGAPORE!!!!
WOhoo.......
Yeah, well..it's a 2 in 1 trip. The main driving point of going down there is for the AFA event...(if you don't know what's AFA, please ask uncle google....)
another reason, well....visit my cousin, lepak and err...visit singapore? (last time i went down to singapore was .......back in college...like...5 years ago...=_=)

So, hopefully all goes well....
hated the fact that a certain 'relative' visited me today though......=_=
