Still More Happenings
Wednesday, July 08, 2009

Lalalala~ Busy as always, which results in late blog post.(reaaaally late)

First of all, Koperasi Week!(22-26 June) I finally found back teh awesomeness of Koperasi since my form 2 days! Aaaaaah~ Greenies!

I was the emcee for both officiation, which includes the Monday afternoon assembly and Tuesday morning assembly. And as we all know, after the whole officiation, the greenies would sing "Semangat Koperasi", the noctorious song for making us look like weirdos. We sing it with pride!

Although I was supposed to be stationed at the Boeing 747 booth, I have been running everywhere as the camera(wo)man. Puhlease, my camera skills are too owhsm to deny. =D

I'll let the pictures paint the words. :3

Teh awesome me!

Too touched for words!

I see the head!

Rubix Challenge Booth

Some of my artistic shoots :3

:O

The Lame Gang

Koperasi rules!

For pictures, please add me on Facebook and check out my album. =D And since I'm lazy, please visit :Rayhan's Blog: or :Xin Ee's Blog:.

At the same time during the week, I was busy doing my Star N.I.E Mag. Inc. project. It's the project from Star Newspaper where you have to make a magazine and you earn pizzas! Obviously, I'm doing it just for the pizzas. =D So did my group members, Jasmine, Phei Wen, Bing Xi and Wai Howe. We even added a 3 minute video to earn a regular pizza instead of the original personal sized pizza. Owhsm~

It was a lot of last minute work, as usual. We did most of the arrangement of the magazine on Wednesday at school. Since I was still bringing my camera to school for the whole week, I snapped some pictures while we were working at the Computer Lab.

It's Wednesday, so I wear my baju uniform? =D

Work, work... OMG. IT'S ACE ATTORNEY!

*munch*

Please do not kill me, Cik Muriza. =D

Alright, that's it for now. Will blog about Animangaki and TDC Reunion next. For more recent stuff... Things has been getting better in school. In class, in Koperasi... Although my piano exam is in 2 weeks(ZOMGWTHSTFUBBQ), I'm still enjoying myself much, lawl. I'm getting my exam pieces, scales okay-ish, arpeggios can faint, aural test and sight readings are killers. In 4 Bakti, I'm starting to get the class fellowship. xD Although I hate to say it, the Hari Keusahawanan/Hari Kantin/Karnival thingy the school is planning is actually an anticipated event at my class. The girls have been putting a lot of effort into earning money for this project. Instead of boring ol' selling food, stuff and drinks, we are selling services! We started off with massage services during Open Day. I was SOOOOO surprised and amazed how good sales was, lawl. Parents are easy to extort. >D During recess, we've started our manucure service, arm wrestling(which was banned) and Rent-A-Person. At the same time, we're earning money from the teachers through Car Wash, ohohoho.

And from teh awesome Suzanne, you will be seeing an awesome booth on the Karnival day itself(1 August). Visit my booth! It is...

DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!!!

I'm serious. =D And also Stepmania, the otaku version of DDR with Japanese songs and stuff. And Guitar Hero! WHOOPIE!

Will blog more soon. Gotta goes. xD *genki genki GENKI!*

Busy much?
Tuesday, July 07, 2009

Yesh, I'm still busy, as usual. I've written a post about Koperasi Week, but it's not done yet. I'm planning to write about TDC Reunion and Animangaki, but I haven't had the time. I shall post about it, once I have the time. @__@

For now, I'm just here to show off some poems I wrote during English Society meeting! Woohoo! Wrote it in minutes. It's shooo fun. :D I can't remember what's the first style of poem called(starts with "C"), the latter is called a Diamante.

Eyes
Round, profound
Blinking, twinkling, shining
Future - I see with
Eyes

Life
Excitement, fulfillment
Changing, breathing, growing
Start. Impermenance. Permenant. End.
Lurking, frightening, diminishing
Dark, empty
Death



And also, I have a :writing blog:. Go visit it, although I update it infrequently. :X

At this time, I need to attend to Persephone. My piano exams are around the corner and my mum has been rather obsessed with me practicing. Meeps. I'll be back soon? :X

Many Happenings
Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Suzanne Yin is the MSSD Petaling Perdana Light Heavy gold medalist! Yes, she lazed off tons, but she still got the medal. :X


Yes indeed! It's quite a long story, but in a nutshell:

I am geared up and enter ring.
Referee: Yin Shu Hui? *waves a paper*
I nod.
Referee does hand gesture to the front.
Referee: Charyeot! Gyeongnye!
I bow.
Referee raises left hand towards me.
Referee: Hong Sheng!
Me: *mouth drop* (except that I can't exactly do that because I had my mouth guard on)


Awesomesauce. They must've heard my name I ran away when they realize my awesomeness. The sad thing about getting a free gold medal is it might seem as if you don't deserve it. I would love to spar with my enemy and win the gold medal, but it wasn't my fault that they didn't come for the match. Nevertheless, I got it.

Tons of other stuff have happened over the week, other than the Taekwondo MSSD. The next day was Majlis Perlantikan Pemimpin Muda! All our little probates turned green. On the same day, I am elected the Treasurer of Lembaga Pengawas Koperasi SMK USJ 13 Berhad.

Join the green side! We have buns!

And then, the camera batteries died. Meh. And my father talked so loudly to me in the morning about the batteries.

On the same day itself, another big event happened.

Suzanne Yin is out to waste off her weekend at another camp(not that the last camp was a waste though).

The much feared Kem Pemimpin Muda! I never wanted to attend it, especially when we have to pay for it. But then, we were forced to go, so meh. I didn't put much hope into this camp. I heaved my bag into school at 5pm. We started camp with some lame games. As the day progress, the little hope I had for the camp turn to nothing. My team was 300(THIS IS SPARTA!!!). Owh, have I mentioned we had 20 people in our team? The smartest thing the school can ever do is throw 175 students in the hands of Hikers Climbers for ONE SINGLE 3 days 2 nights camp. The facillitators were kinda rude, unexperienced in treating teens, and all-in-all, rather terrible. There's a big reason why they are called facillitators and not committees, they're just in it for the money. They do not require to make sure they have happy campers. This was probably because I've been to so many better organized camps(TDC!!!), but other people thought so too. I guess there is truth in what I say.

To kill time, they made us write some pointless stuff on mahjong paper. Even when we were presenting it, they cut us off quickly and rudely. They give little to no debriefing of their programs, making me feel as if what I was doing was pointless. And they yell for no apparant reasons. Then we had some speaker who, also yelled for no apparant reasons. I enjoyed the little activities though. But the funny thing was he ended the session with some reflection session, almost like a sharing of merits session. But man, the guy was yelling throughout the thing. I felt more disturbed. Then we had a program where we're blindfolded, an operasi buring hantu thingy. It was a kill joy when they ask us to take off our blindfold because there was not enough time for all of us to go through the path in the dark. And it was 2.30am. It was sooooooooo lame that they keep rushing us through the programs, and many things couldn't be completed. And yet, we are dismissed to sleep so late.

To make matters worst, the idiots around my tent just wouldn't shut up. I shared a tent with Siew Yen, Anthea and Nurul. Siew Yen was fast asleep while the people where still chatting away. I was lying still, eyes closed tight, melatonin kicking in, but yet it was soooo noisy for me to even nap. It was 3.30am, and the noise wouldn't stop, even after a very pissed off and zombified me went around shutting them up. Me, Anthea and Nurul migrated to the Ruang Legar to sleep. I don't mind sleeping in my tent but at least it was quiet there. And windy. And crowded. And cozy.

And it was only Day 1.

I concluded sooooooo many things about the evil facillitators in just 7 hours. It continued on till Day 3. At least Day 2 was more eventful. We had really fun teambuilding games, and a survival skills thingy which included having to build a shelter, cook rice, cook tea, cook roti lilit, make weapons, make traps, make fire and bunch of other stuff, made fun by our own people. It was the only activity I think was worth my time, and where the facillitators were actually confident in carrying out. Other than that, it was more pointless activities to kill time. One thing I learn in this camp is to have good public speaking skills by crapping all the good values in every single situation. And apparantly, that makes you a good leader.

Then was the TalentTime. And they only informed us about the task like, 2-3 hours before the actual thing. 15 minutes before the actual thing, they give us a song and ask us to do a performance to it. Aweeeesooooome. Yes, we are supposed to act to the situation, but this is just rubbish. We came up with a random sketch, including a homosexual king and a bisexual king. Although it was a rushed thing with little effort put into it, next to all the other sketches and performances, ours actually looks rather good. Then was the dance. We were given this random dandut song that only 2 people in our group heard before. None of us were familiar. We danced to it anyway. Oh wait, correction. Only 3 or 4 of us actually danced. Despite whatever we planned, and even when I asked everyone to just dance whatever, NO ONE DID. Honestly, I was rather pissed off. But that's just me. :X

We ended at 1.30am. Not before we got punished because some people slept during the programs. I don't mind it, but I hate how the facillitators speak and explain the situation. They sound so high and mighty, as if we're just kids who can be bullied. Footeh them!

Day 3. Nothing much happened. Except that we sang the School Song so loud, I guess Datin was rather happy, haha. Owh, and during a free comment session, I gave my very honest comments about the camp, I hopes that they would take it in and realize the horrible job they are doing, and hopefully make some changes. What did they do? They ignored me, completely. They didn't even say thank you! In the end, I went home, the same person I was when I went into camp.

All in all, the RM45 was only worth the food the canteen provided us over the three days. But then again, they fed us curry chicken EVERY MEAL(just variations of em), and supplied us with a good variation of drinks, but they were meant to give us diabetes. Honestly, the tea and syrup and everything was suuuuuper sweet. My second camp at school, and both times I fall sick. I suspect the canteen food...

Suzanne Yin wasted herself at the Pemimpin Muda camp. The peeps were awesome, but camp organization was buhleeeeh. =/


For a camp that was terrible, I typed about it more than its worth, haha. I missed the TQ session right after TDC and TDC meeting to discuss reunion for this camp. Meh.

Will blog about Koperasi week with tons of photos soon. I'm kinda busy at the moment. =D

Killing Time
Thursday, June 18, 2009

Teen Dhamma Camp 11 was the BOMB!

To all those who didn't make it, you shall cry nao. Repent for the fun you miss! I don't have any pictures with me at the moment, so I won't blog much about it. One thing is, I was running four flights of stairs all day, hiding in a corner staring at a laptop, and not sleeping at all on the last night. Yeah man! But one thing is, at Jing Loong Shan, we can't wear shorts, must keep noise level at minimum, and the halls are so far apart from each other. Lesson: Don't go back to any temple which ends with "shan". Another example is Fuo Guang Shan.

Shall blog more about Teen Dhamma Camp. :D To read about it from one of our satisfied participants, please visit Wei Herng's Blog.



After the camp, I had TONS of sleep debt to repay. Sunday itself, I knocked myself out for about 4 hours, and slept for another 6-7 hours at night. It went on until Wednesday, and I even sleep in class. Wahahahaha. Hey, there's nothing to do in school this week anyway. We're just getting our results. My Sejarah had a 40 marks plunge! Woohoo! I haven't failed yet, so I guess that's a good thing.

Right at this moment, I'm at the Taekwondo MSSD! I'm sitting at the corner with my sir's laptop, watching my Restaurant City, listening to The Show. Yay for his laptop! Or else, I'd be on my cross stitch for hours, which would be a killer. I'm chilling at the moment, because there's only 2 people in my catergory, which also means, I'll be either getting a silver or gold medal, WOOHOO!

Right now, I shall mind myself with Facebook. Shall blog soon. :D

It's Time!
Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Teen Dhamma Camp is TOMORROW!!! ZOMGWTHSTFUBBQ!!! Time really flies. It's already June now, and my first week of mid-year holidays is over. And I haven't done much on my to-do list. Hmmm... Out of the whole list, I've only done a quarter of it.

And from my cosplay to-do list, I've only done one. But it was a good one! I was making a new candle for Road Kamelot. It's the one where Road uses to stab Allen's eye.

Road's Candles, made of.. candles

I use a lighter and heat the candle up and shape it while its hot. I made the sharp ones, then made a curvy one. I added red wax to the tip of my pointy candles to be the blood, instead of nail polish, which was used last year. Muahaha, is this not teh awesome? Hot wax hurts, but it is FUN! I start becoming abit of a pyromaniac and a wax-o-maniac. Seriously.

When you just have to camwhore

Can't wait to do Road Kamelot again. :3

I'll hopefully be going to Animangaki, which is the next cosplay convention(as I'll be at camp for both Daicon and Cosfest[which is at Singapore, and TOTALLY unreachable]) being held at Sunway University! I shall be reprising my role as Yuffie Kisaragi, accompanied by teh awesome Nurul Nadhirah as Tifa Lockhart. The only thing I need now is a Yuffie wig...

I have also decided that I shall be cosplaying Seychelles from Hetalia, woohoo!


Also, on a side note, I am now on Maxis post-paid! WOOHOO! The only bad thing about this is I'm starting to abuse it a little too much... .___.

I'm going for the Taekwondo MSSD next week too! I shall do my best to get a medal, muahahaha.

Alright, I have no idea what to type. See me after camp!

Then and Now
Sunday, June 07, 2009

I've always been a really ambitious person. I had lots of things I want to achieve, lots of things I want to do. I didn't want to leave high school with regret. I wanted to leave a legacy.

Things now are just so different than before.

I was form 2 when I started everything. I organized my first camp with my Kalyana Mitras, I joined the Green Club, I learnt to speak up and think more considerately, my first cosplay was in 2007 too. I started joining activities and became active in them. I was spending all my Sundays at the temple. Even in class, all of us were so close that school was really enjoyable. I was really happy. 2007 held lots of great memories and many sweet beginnings.

Then came 2008. My commitments grew larger. I got involved in more activities. It came to the point where people actually start asking me to stop being so active. Sometimes there's just so much things to do it becomes a burden. But I'm still the happiest when all goes well.

This year's just weird. And agonizing. First I was in 4 Bakti, away from most of my closer friends. Then there was all the favouritism between the teachers that just makes me mad. I'm not a public speaker in Gavel Club without due cause. Yet, it just takes them forever to realize that I exist. 4 years already, and I'm still invisible to them. I've put in so much into everything I did. Yet, those who I hoped would notice never did.

Anthea asked me not to blog about it, but it's shouting at me. My Facebook status on 28 May says:

Suzanne Yin is darn pissed off, disappointed and unappreciated.


I know that we shouldn't do things for the fame or name. But sometimes, it's comforting to know that people appreciate the hard work you're giving, and hope that they would acknowledge you. I've been committed to this since 14 January 2007. I wanted to give my all, and I had a vision I was probably the only person in the whole school who wanted my name to be on that brown plaque sitting on the wall near the office area. I wanted it so badly. And honestly, it's just mind boggling that they just have to crush the most enthusiastic person and elect someone less enthusiastic just so they can make that person be more committed to their job. It has been the trend for years now. Is it necessary to do that to make a board? I don't have the charisma as my previous senior did to fight back. All I could do is just shut up and keep it in. Talking about it would make me sound so full of myself. Not talking about it eats me inside.

And on that Friday, Facebook says this:

Suzanne Yin had her 3 years dream crushed, and is confused whether to be sad, mad, or swallow it down like a (wo)man.


It's so hard to be selfish when it comes down to things like this. It's hard to say "I should've gotten this in return" when we're in it to give. I admit that I wanted to be recognize, but all in all I love being around these people, that's why I even bothered to give back. I truly care for them. But sometimes there are certain dreams I want to achieve. I let go another chance given to me just so I can put more time into this. But it seems like it didn't work. I really was a 3 year dream. I never wanted something so badly before, and thought that I really deserved it, and not get it. To make things worst, I didn't lose it to a stranger, or just another familiar face. I'm used to being second best, and I don't mind being second best to this person, but this is just too hard to swallow when you want it that badly. Sunday didn't make things any better. I'm left even more confused and messed up. I don't know what to think or do anymore.

Back then, there was less to fuss about, less to stress about. I wished things was more simpler now.

At least, I have a few things to keep me back on track, to remind me why I even got myself into all this mess. I took a flip through the pictures and videos of camp with my Kalyana Mitras. I guess some things are just worth it.

...I need to organize my thoughts. Again.

Going Down In History
Wednesday, May 27, 2009

One more paper, woohoo!

This week hasn't been all too bad. Here's what my Facebook says about me after my Physics exam last week.

Suzanne Yin bends her leg upon touching the ground after the 20m dive to lengthen the time of impact. Hence, impulsive force from the Physics exam is reduced and Suzanne is still standing. :D


I guess the only thing I'm honestly honestly worried about is History. But then again, nothing is save. You can study alot, or study nothing at all(my case :D), and get horrible grades... or good grades.

The mid-term holiday is coming up, so what should I do? I guess it's time to make a list... (I started making lots of lists after I read "In the Cards" from the school library. Then I went on to reading the whole series of "The Seven Fantastic Wonders". Then I went on to actually filling up my Buku Nilam.)

Suzanne's Owhsm Mid-term Holidays To-do List!:
1. Choir
2. Plan Minggu Koperasi
3. N.I.E.
4. Biology Presentation
5. BM Solo and Group Oral
6. Fix Cosplay Stuff
7. Stress out for TDC11
8. Hang out with friends
9. Fiametta-ink meeting!
10. Play RO
11. Go Facebook crazy (Restaurant City!)
12. Spend more time with Persephone


And for cosplay, we have another list!

To-do list for cosplay:
1. Mend Shuriken
2. Mend Lero
3. Make a new candle for stabbing
4. Insert real exercises to Road's homework
5. Make a puppet
6. Make a somewhat-fake parachute
7. Find a Mr. Charley
8. Fix Road's cross pendant
9. Make a Coldkiller X
10. Loan a better Yuffie wig


Looks like I have tons to do. :X And so little time. Raaaaah. TDC would probably eat most of my holidays. But on the bright side, there won't be any more exams till the end year, and little to do the week after holidays. But then again, the weekend after holidays, I'll be wasting my valuable time at some stupid Leadership Camp which I could probably organize better than the people my school are paying using the money I paid to them. Hey, people pay me for my time! D:

Which reminds me, that my blog is over a year old now! Wheee! And also, happy belated to Justin, Szeto Yan Ming, Aik Hean, and happy birthday Jer Cherng!

And now, I should go sleep. Wish me luck. :X

Addiction
Sunday, May 24, 2009

Oh noes. I'm addicted to Facebook, again. It started with the picture tagging. Then I was playing Word Challenge because I saw Marilyn playing it the other day. Then it was Friends For Sale. Then it was Restaurant City. Then... it was more Restaurant City. Uh-oh.

I was having fun picking up rubbish from Adrean's restaurant, who irresponsibly let himself, Marilyn and Pei Song pass out in humiliation

Anyone wants to trade bananas and butter? :D

Alright, so first week of exams are over. I spent too much time doing last minute revisions, and too much time on the computer too. As for how I describe my second week of exams...

I could jump down from a 20m building at a 90 degrees angle at the acceleration of 10m s s. And then, I'll go down in history.


Owhsm.

Saturday starts off with Taekwondo as usual. And as all other Taekwondo trainings after the grading, we were doing basics and running around and star jumps and stuff like that to kill time. When it was results time, it was rather nerve wrecking. It's so much harder to pass for black belt, and the stakes were higher too. RM150 for grading fees, aaaaaaaah!!! When it was our turn, our sir started shaking his head and saying that he was disappointed. Uh-oh. He called our names one by one. He called the first few names. Then there was Siew Yen, Ger Lian, Ger Ean... and he asked them to sit. I had a terrible feeling. Then he started passing some people. Then after Nurul, who passed, was my name. He called it, and simply just went on. I was like what the heck. I know it's not an easy ride, but surely, I haven't done terrible enough to fail, right? Or did I?

Then the sir went another round of names. This time, he passed them. LIEK ZOMG. He was just pulling our legs! All of us passed, except for Faye, which was rather unbelievable. When I prodded sir to see if we were borderline passes, he said we were good. LIEK WHUT.

So yay! I'm officially on Black Belt probation! (eat that Wai Hong, for missing this training)

Sunday... This is the very very veeeeeery few times I actually excused myself from: 1. Teen Quest Gathering, 2. Teen Dhamma Camp Meeting. I'm the kind that would go all the way when I'm super committed to something, and hate to miss out anything. I was supposed to be making my passport today for my Bali trip in July, but it didn't happen. So, I slept till noon today, and did not go to the temple, at all.

This would be the very few times where someone's actually sad that they didn't go to the temple. D:

I stayed at home, lazed away in front of the computer. And now, I'm trying to understand my Physics notes, and nothing is getting in. Jia Wern was probably right about how girls are better at Biology because it's there, and bad at Physics because it's not there.

Ugh. I hope I do well tomorrow. Thank godness I dropped Chinese. Or it'll be double kill. (*cue DOTA addicts going "TRIPLE KILL"*)

Whoopie. Teen Dhamma Camp 11 in 16 days!!! LIEKZOMGWTHSTFUBBQ!!! Here's a little teaser.

Now you see it. Now you don't get it.

Toodles!

Lately
Wednesday, May 20, 2009

First of all, to all those who said TDC was a kiddy camp, you know you don't mean it and you're hurting inside. Don't deny it. :D

So... I've been super busy lately. As usual.

How did my Taekwondo Grading went? It was rather awesome. xD Thank godness there's no more stamina test! I screwed up my Taeguk 5, but gosh, my first attempt at breaking planks, and I broke both with one try. AWESOME! All of us managed to elbow the half inch plank. Only half of us broke the one inch plank with a kick. I was so surprised with myself. o__o

Remember the cosplay event I was talking about? In the end, I wasn't allowed to go. When I came home from Taekwondo, immediately I started to practice my piano. Bottomline, I went anyway. :D I went with Jasmine and Tara. It was C2AGE, organized by the HELP University. I'll let the pictures explain.

Arisa as Shizuka and... JASMINE CHEE AS MARIA???

Yes. We were in the car with me in half my costume, Tara with her little bag stuffed with Misa Amane's costume. We got to the wrong building, took a cab, walked some distance and got to the event at 2pm. When Tara and I were dressing up in the toilet. Jasmine surprises us in a Vampire Knight Night Class uniform. LIEK WHUUUT.

It wasn't her costume, but she was AWESOOOME. Seriously. She makes me jealous. D:

Tara Chloe as Misa Amane (Yesh, I'm lazy to rotate the pictures sue meee)

It was a rather normal convention. I had fun. I convinced both of them to join me in the Cosplay Chess. We didn't do much and Jasmine and I was killed. ;___; I got Rasengan-ed by Kakashi, boohoo.

Why don't I see the Ark on the map?

So, teh significance of this event (must be the influence of answering Novel questions o_o) is that lately, I've been thinking alot about my cosplay. I think I haven't said this before, but for Comic Fiesta 2009, I'll be forming a Gyakuten Saiban Cosplay Group! There's me as Young Mia Fey, Anthea as Trucy Wright, Nurul as Detective Ema Skye and Jasmine as Maya Fey. I managed to convince all of them to join my awesomeness, muahahaha. Which subsequently led to me converting Jasmine, Aster and Bing Xi to teh love of Ace Attorney. Rawk ooooon.

So yeah, lately I've been thinking about how terrible my cosplay was. D: There's always a huge flaw in my costumes, mostly because of my ugleh wig. And then, I never really had much photos of my cosplays. The ones I have are usually snitched from people who photographed the event. It's kinda sad, really. =( And when I see other people's cosplay, it makes me emo because their costumes are awesome, and the photos do them justice too.

So, lately, I have made a resolution to make an impact for my next cosplay. I shall make it awesome!

And also lately, I've got lots of exams to worry about. The Taekwondo grading is over, my mid-terms are in progress - I'm doing HORRIBLY. Now I understand why my upper secondary friends say that when they can't find the answers to their Sejarah, Physics or Add Maths question, they simply sleep. And aiming not to fail becomes everyone's objective. .___. So far I've never had enough time for any of my papers. I rushed my English Paper 1 Continuous Writing's ending. It was quite an awesome plot, with spontaneous writing and an anti-climatic ending. I just had enough time for EST. For Sejarah, I had too much time as I couldn't put my answers in words. .___. The only one really with enough time is my English Paper 2 today.

Lately, I've also been practicing my piano tons. I'm under constant pressure about my upcoming Grade 8 Piano Practical Exam. Raaah. Except that recently lately, I spend more time doing last minute studying.

On a side note about something that happened lately last week, I've been uploading some piano covers on YouTube. Go listen to them, please? :D



Lately too, I've been increasingly busy with SJBAYS stuff. I just realized that I haven't blogged about Wesak Day. My work with the Advertising & Promotion department with TDC is reaching its climax. On top of that, I'm still in the planning team for every Sunday's Teen Quest Gathering session. Whoop-dee-doo.

Lately, with the exam fever and my cosplay madness, I've developed a new hobby. Amidst all the last minute studying, I'm still distracted with the internet and what I call coswhoring. Closet cosplay and camwhoring, whuuut. And honestly, these are just closet cosplay, using my real hair, with random clothes I have.

Seychelles from Axis Power Hetalia! A brainchild while checking the cosplay groups on the Comic Fiesta forum. I never watched the show before, but yeaaah. After my Sejarah exams.

I really don't know why, but I just can't study when it's reaaaaally last minute. I honestly tried studying weeks before, it just doesn't get in. My vanity equals that of Mathilde from The Necklace. Sue meeeeee. :D

But honestly... I really love cosplaying, and wanna keep doing this. With awesomness.

Yesh. I'll be taking my Black Belt grading tomorrow. It's been 4 long years, but it all seems so quick. We'll be doing it in our little group, just as we did every grading.


Wish me luck!

(And hopefully, I'll be cosplaying tomorrow too.)
