BookFest 2014+CORPSE PARTY

This is probably the worst time in a book fair I'm ever gonna experience.
I don't think I have the courage to attend next year's book fair, to be honest.
My babe's gone forever from that place, I swear.
I DID NOT buy any books from the fair, but I did buy some things from Kinokuniya (bless you).
And then, I got this feeling to avoid the book fair if I have to.
I realized that I'm not a book lover after all.
I'm just, a collector or something.
Since baby's probably NEVER going to appear in the fair again, I have no purpose to attend it.
Kinokuniya is always a better choice if you wish to drool on books, I guarantee!

Kinokuniya adventures!
So I did say I went to this awesome place didn't I? Since popular's gonna be selling cards soon, I'm outta business for a while (probably forever). While browsing through some manga I came an unusually familiar book cover. Ahh, where did I see that...? "Book of Shadows"...?
 

Sachiko paper doll=Corpse Party. That gurl with the pink headband is definitely Yuka. If I hadn't watched Pweds play CP I wouldn't have known. His commentary is hilarious! Go watch it if you have time and beware of panty shots.
PS: Yoshiki is cool, and I mean it.

Education Fair!!!

Haha, this is the first time I went to an education fair. I haven't thought about next year, so going there was a great decision. Found lots of interesting places to go for my higher education. All of them requires at least 5 Bs on two Math and the three pure Science subjects. I was unsure of where to go, but the first stall called me. I've always wanted to further my studies in Taiwan, where we have great books and food (was that the point of going?). But seriously it's all the books and food that matters.

The second stall was on a university in Korea. The consultant of the said university asked me:
"Are you a fan of BIG BANG?" Of course not.
"I'm not really into K-pop."
"Aww, too bad. Cause (was it TOP?) is studying in this u."
Me thinks: ORLY? *insert rape face*
By the way it was Dankook University.

Our next stop was an Ireland U. There's a real mat salleh (sorry) there. Ahh the wonders of that university~ Gaming industry~ I wished to enter Ubisoft. It's international and near me... closest branch is in Singapore! There was one U in Hong Kong, and mom teased me about not getting my Cantonese right. Such a pain! The first consultant I saw when entering Hall 2 talked about various stuff. I mean like, everybody knows our SPM is (almost) of no standard?

We saw a stall selling pastries and *insert holy music* THERE WAS THIS EGG PUDDING WE COULD NOT RESIST AND BOUGHT IT IT WAS EFFING DELICIOUS BUT THE RETAIL STORES ARE SO FAR AWAY and we went on our way.

It does not interest me but...
I was curious about the voice talent thing, so I sat down with a consultant. That college is a special one. It trains people to be early childhood teachers. The consultant was a lecturer herself in the college and she said that many middle-aged women came for their courses just to take care of their children, especially those of special needs. She keeps pressing that "You have to have a passion to work with children" or it won't work sorta thing. I'm not into this field (though they say the pay's ridiculously high for a special needs child caretaker), but it might help some relatives and friends with children...

There was only one stall with a college in Japan, and that girl was SUPER CUTE AND TO THINK I THOUGHT SHE WAS JAPANESE but she's local. She said many people go there just for the animanga. Sorry gurl, but I do it for FINAL FANTASY.

Hall 1 was no special, but the last stall I visited kinda opened my mind. The consultant was a Datin, and she told us that her husband works in the ministry of education (did I say it right?). She told us about what's happening behind the 'scenes' (she was talking about National service) and that I could find a way around the procedure to freedom *insert holy light* actually she was trying to tell me that I could go wherever I wanted as long as I study hard.

After the long walk we went to MUJI just opposite of the convention center. It was AWESOME! You didn't see the stationery it sells! It all seemed so precious and OMG I can't describe the overwhelming urge to buy them all. Plain notebooks! Can you imagine! The colored pens! You can even customize your own notebook and envelope! *insert fangirl shrieking*

And here's a song to boost up your fighting spirit!

This song always give the the goosebumps brrrrr!

I can't do it

I can't do it. It's too hard! No matter how hard I try to think, it won't come out! How to I cope with this inferiority? How do I escape with this 'peer pressure'? (note I don't have peer pressure) I feel really useless and confused. How do I start a paragraph? How should I use the points for the paragraph? How do I make the essay long enough? I DON"T KNOW! I am so frustrated. I'll never be able to surpass them, surely. I know the part of the reason is because I don't read enough books, but still... the truth hurts. I give up. I'll forever be the lamest student. I'll never surpass them. I'll never be at the same level as them. I'm a lowlife.

NOT NATIONAL SERVICE!!!!

National service may have me picked for hell training, but there are advantages too actually.

If I was chosen: I get a vacation in Taiwan! YOOOOHOOOOO!!!! ...but no gaming AT ALL.
If I was spared: Gaming for at least 4 MONTHS!! ...has to work to pay rent.
I'll definitely get fat if I'm spared, though I'll be working. Probs that I'll be standing at the counter. Probs. It's just a 2-minute walk anyway. How much exercise can I get with only a short walk? Close to none actually.

Last Friday was 'school open day', so mom went to take my slip. It was less than a minute and I'm out of the school in 20 minutes. I brought a friend home and I realized something.

Almost all of my friends who were guests in our house will comment about 2 things:
One, the enormous book collection;
Two, "Where is the rubbish bin?"
The book collection was actually larger if we add up my dad's pile of unread books and my novels and comics, not counting childhood storybooks and my aunt's two boxes worth of philosophical titles. We'll probably need a shelf or two to contain all of the books, but we don't have that much space at home.
About the rubbish bin... thanks to my mom's innovative mind, our bin was never visible. All you have to do is throw your dump out of the window and viola! It's in the bin.

Today during tuition I took out my card and continued work. When the counter need ed them I couldn't find mine anywhere! We searched up and down, but it was nowhere to be seen. I was considered as no card today. After finishing an essay Khei and I searched again and guess what? I was in her book. DAMN.
