Genting 2010: New Continent Discovery Committee, Dismissed.

'Smile!'

Um, well, there you have it. It’s finally arrived- the post detailing what seems to be our yearly pilgrimage to the nearest naturally cold spot in the country, Genting Highlands, famous for having the only casino in the country, which in any case, might soon face a dearth of money-seeking pilgrims when the shiny [...]

My Dream in the Year of the Tiger

"2010 is our year! Nyaa~!"

You got me right. Tigers are facing extinction, unless we do something about it. Or perhaps, unless we stop doing certain things… Tiger liver for dinner, anyone? You get the picture. Now don’t get me wrong- I like the big orange fuzz-balls as much as the next person on the [...]

"This Photo is Proudly Stolen from a Free Source"

I know, I know… you’re probably thinking, “What! Yet another post about a contest?” Bear with me here, people. If in the previous post I had you reading an unbearably long post (if you consider 1000 or so words long), worry not. This post will be [...]

Why I Like It Longer. No, Seriously…

"Stealing a chocolate bar requires little effort, but much planning"

I’m bored. I need something to amuse me, especially while I’m on the run, or in between classes. It would be nice to be able to surf the web. Or play some games. Maybe even watch a movie.

Then again, to do all that satisfactorily, I’d [...]

Spice and Wolf II

Huh. I just realized that I never made a post on the first season of Spice and Wolf- and here I am jumping into a review of its second season. Ah well. Speed review of season one, people? Here goes:

Craft Lawrence, white-haired but no geezer, is a travelling merchant whose dream [...]

European Union Film Festival 2009

:w:for lack of a better picture:w:

I’ve been to five Japanese film festivals before, but this one is my first. That’s not really surprising as it’s the first time they’re having it here, but there has been a French Film Festival in the past, which I missed. As you can see from the title, this [...]

Be nice to tigers this year, you hear me?

"Happy new year!" "Rawr!"

Judging from all the pictures floating around ‘image boards’ like Danbooru, 2010 is the year of the tiger- hence the title. 2010 already? Sigh. Say, did the tiger just blink? Oh wait, it’s just me scrolling down the page.

The Japanese have this old superstition concerning the first dream of the new [...]

Harima Claus

Well, here I am. A little late, but better late than never- which is what happened last year, by the way. Merry Christmas! Not that I celebrate it. I don’t even celebrate my own birthday, after all. My real reason for posting this is the picture above- I copied it out of the [...]

Confessions of an alleged Gothic Lolita

"it's a little too tight..."

Well, quite a bit has happened since my last post, hasn’t it? Some of you might have been greeted by a snow white screen with some random gibberish on it- good riddance. It all stated when I noticed that my links, categories, and tags had vanished- after trawling the net [...]

ANBU and their dietary habits

aprilius20 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:47:03 +0000

Brick-man, irritating kid, and daft dog.

Today’s outing was a sort of reunion-farewell for a friend who’d just returned from India, where she’s studying dentistry. We’d decided on Times Square (why does everyone feel the need to recreate that noisy intersection in their home country?) as our meeting place, around 2pm, after which we’d have [...]
