Finals are over and I don't have remedial so praise!!!! It's been a rough 3 days with all my papers coming one after the other, but the last day is really the last day of the whole of finals week so everybody is free!
At first I was like 'yay! time to play video games!' then I remembered about all the spring cleaning I have to do which include rearranging furniture, cleaning bookshelves, updating the harem blog, completing some overdue art pieces, and then only do I get to play video games or read books or hang out with my friends. I had to go visit grandma in a small town so some time is wasted there...
I had to clear out the bookshelves and decide which books to abandon, then I emptied one of the lower shelves to put my jeans drawer, and then I have to put some indicators on which books I've yet to finish... it took me 4 days to clean the bookshelves plus my wardrobe and work table! I had to arrange the books by category, relocate my sketchbooks, I brought in the TV from the living room onto my second work table to use as a monitor and consoles are now below said table so I could game in my room (which is awesome but not so great because... overheating). Then one of my HDMI cables broke...
Video games! I managed to finish the main story of Ni no Kuni and get the casino trophies thanks to forums, familiarity at one point away, and I defeated the Guardian of Worlds, so now my only tasks are to tame another 45 species, get every field map treasure chest and complete 120 items. Alchemy is the one I'm really worried about because nobody likes farming for materials. After this I can play replay FF13 and work on the platinum. Or, I could actually play TLOU because it's way overdue and the game is 6 years old!
A few days ago I participated in a Kingdom Hearts friendship zine with a piece from last April. It's a great zine with artwork, cosplays and writing, and yall should check it out!
The Steven Universe finale special just aired a few hours ago... OH BOI!!!!!! This episode is just fanservice from start to finish! The new fusions, the gems' new outfits, the appearance of the temple fusion aka OBSIDIAN, the dread when WD pulls the gem out of Steven... and he lives! HE LIVES! The amped up animation was so fluid when Steven embraces himself - literally and figuratively - and the moral of the story is: NO ONE IS PERFECT AND YOU ARE WORTH LOVING NO MATTER WHAT. Steven has grown so much. He's not a boy, he's not a gem. He's Steven, and that's all he needs to be.
Following SU's finale-not-finale, it's time for FANART! So apart from my current projects which include another 10 knights, daily sketches and more fanart! Now that I have a new workstation setup, it's time to try it out and see if it holds up. I mean the bigger screen is a huuuuge plus, but now I don't have any space to rest my wrists and arms my shoulders and neck will be tense and in pain once I stop
I did some reading during the last week, the first being The Nanny Diaries, which is good, but too annoying. I couldn't stand Mrs. X's character so I had to stop halfway. I didn't finish it. The Great Gatsby was... not impressive. I have no idea why people thought it was a great piece of literature. It has a certain 'feel' to it, that I have to admit. Is it because of this feel that everyone thinks it's great? It gives me the impression that the story is one of irony. The Hobbit is the best one I've read in two days. Something about Tolkien's works makes you wanna relive everything. No wonder people have LoTR film marathons every year! Reading this prequel is making me want to read the whole of LoTR again and I'm not prepared to do so.
And then there's CNY... Everybody's busy during the week and I will have plenty of time to play video games and draw and read but which of these do I wanna do... which...

I got a sunburn
Uuh, I'm back! Did yall catch the last review? My video game schedule is screwed for life!
Apart from the blatantly obvious (my semester break ending and me finishing Yakuza 0 within a week), life has been pretty good. Last July I went to Indonesia as part of a summer program, which doesn't feel like summer AT ALL because it was freezing in West Java due to the winds from Australia.
The 13-day trip passed quite quickly - I brought RM300 to Indo and spent them all on food and some cloth (heard they were pretty cheap). Not to brag but I'm quite proud of my own travel-planning skills. My classmates? Not so much... They ran out of cash to spend, didn't bring important toiletries, had luggage bags full of useless shit in them, and then said bags were over the weight limit so some things happened... there's a bunch of things I could list down about their incompetence when it comes to travel planning but I'm going to stop here. No use fretting over stuff you can't control.
After visiting Indonesia, even just a small part of it, made me realize that Malaysia had nothing. The Malays has 'lost' their culture. It really says a lot when Indonesians still have dance and clothing from the small ethnic groups of the islands, but all we had were merely what used to be Indonesian. No one will call out this BS because it's an all-time controversial topic about the real origins of who we call the 'bumiputeras' aka Malays of Malaysia. We're not going to go into that shithole of arguments because our country is not as free as people think it is. Let's jsut focus on the good parts eh?
Malaysian food is quite similar to Indonesian food. For instance, what they call terang bulan is actually apam balik. The kuihs? We have most of them, just with different names. Some things that I couldn't recognize (from looks or taste) is this mofo right here:
My classmates picked this dish because it looked weird, but didn't dare eat it afterwards. So, I took it upon myself to taste test this. It's delicious! It's small fish, very salty, so I guess you can't eat it on it's own. And they thought it was maggots! There's also seblak to the left, which is one of the only few 'exotic' foods I bought for myself during the whole trip, during the last few days. I also bought lumpiah, which are apparently spring rolls, but the ones I bought look nothing like spring rolls! I guess the filling is the same... I have a confession to make. Indonesian tempeh tastes better than Malaysian tempeh! There! I said it, don't at me! In all seriousness I was not fond of local tempeh for some reason. Then Indonesia blew me away with their tempeh. Just... magnificent! Never ate that much soy in two weeks!
I got my first batik in Indonesia. As a Malaysian I should've gotten one but no, my first is Indonesian batik in the form of a wrap skirt. There's also my obsession with Indomie OH GOD YOU DON'T KNOW HOW OBSESSED I WAS WITH INDOMIE. There are over 20 flavours and I only found 17, including the Kuliner Indonesia series. And now they have salted egg flavour oh god. I came back with a whole backpack of Indomie and my mother was not impressed. Neither are my classmates and friends. The looks they give me are saying 'you went to Indonesia just to come back with a bunch of instant noodles?' Yes. Yes I did.
Speaking of souvenirs, I did not buy any. The keychains I own were all given to me by the facilitators (who were amazing people). I bought a fridge magnet but that was so I could decorate the world map in the living room.
Also, I got awful sunburns and a suntan!
Coming back from my first school related overseas trip I am grateful for this experience. I caught an eel. I performed really bad silat. I played angklung. I learned some Indonesian words. But one thing I won't do is play water activities. That's a no-no. There's some unpleasant days, uncomfortable living conditions, but like PLKN, it's fun.

Year end money spending (aka Comic Fiesta 2017, and other stuff)
Ayy!!! It's the end of the year! Finals are close! I'm almost dead from the semester!
Out of all the new year resolutions I did for 2017... I only completed like, two? Granted I didn't make a physical list, but it's always at the back of my mind.
When the end of the year approaches, you know things get hectic. People clearing out paid leaves, stockdates, parents bringing their children to vacation and coming back last minute, back to school shopping, kids with unfinished holiday homework, extreme Christmas and new year sales... the usual.
For me a years' end marks the start of week-long planning in order to attend CF2017. Every damn year I spend a week deciding on outfits, commute and best routes so that I may get in and out as soon as possible. Record time for this year (on day 2) is 30 minutes.
The venue for CF2017 is great, KLCC has all the space to house various booths and ample of walking space (except for that one lane). However, as good as the place may be, the layout is stupid. The entrance is at the very far end, where the exhibitors are. After that you have the premium artist booths, then lastly the basic artist booths. The exit is around that corner. I have ZERO interest in the exhibitors. What I wanted the most was fanzines and doujinshi in the artist booth, and they're at the very far end of the hall. I'M PISSED. For two days I had to squeeze through hordes of sweaty people and some who just stand there in the middle of the lane to look at booths. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. When I finally get to the artist booths there's another looooong queue for the cosplayer booths that block the lane, AGAIN.
The ticket price is another thing that shocked me. RM30 for a day. 2015 in MIECC was only 20. 20! The venue was decent! Last year at PWTC was 25, and even then the venue absolutely SUCKED. I hope the rise in price was because of the venue (KLCC is a great place in the city centre after all). I can't afford to attend CF if the ticket price goes any higher.
Living with my aunt was a new experience, in a weird way. Her home looks like a haunted house among the renovated buildings. Her bathroom reminds me of my grandmother's bathroom, and it has no shower or water tank. The kitchen has a broken stove and a refrigerator possibly from the 80s! The floor downstairs is like the one at home, and the stairs is made of wooden planks similar to my grandfather's now abandoned house. The floor upstairs has the classic early 2000s wood blocks which come off whenever you step them with wet feet. No big tiles, no ceiling fan, no water heater. I thought I was living at my grandmothers'.
Did I get any pictures of cosplayers? Yes, only one of Luna in her wedding dress. Then there was another Luna but she seemed busy so I didn't ask for a picture. I saw a few Promptos and a Ignis. Was hoping I'd see more western cartoon characters, but didn't find any. I'm always on the lookout for Steven Universe and Miraculous Ladybug cosplays. Also DDLC. If you are one of them, please tell me. I will want to take your picture. I was thinking to try cosplay this year because I have a lab coat but ditched the plan last minute because I didn't have the appropriate outfit. I was actually kinna stupid to not cosplay as Tae Takemi from P5. Really really stupid me. I keep thinking of Shinra from DRRR but Tae may be easier. Maybe. I have no idea where to get the strap heels tho.
After day 1 of CF me and aunt went to see The Last Jedi, because there's nothing left for us to do. I didn't know it came out on the 14th. The movie was great! I loved Rose! I loved Finn! I loved Poe! I loved Phasma! I loved everyone! And you know what! I don't care if people say SW has become SJW shit because it hasn't!!! Still a great movie!!! WHy can't we all just enjoy things??!!
TLJ could do without the potential Rose/Finn or Rey/Finn because I need platonic M/F relationships and if Rose/Finn is really a thing I don't want Rey to be the other jealous love interest. No. Stop it. We already have that in plenty of movies. Stop.
Last month I went to see another movie - Justice League. It was not in my watch list but since I've never gone out with my classmates in the middle of the night before I thought it wouldn't hurt to watch a superhero movie. Justice League was a little... eeehhhh... but still good in its own way. I have a few doubts and questions though...
One: does Aquaman have amblyopia??? His eyes has been bothering me since the first time he appeared on screen! Second: Flash is so cute. Ezra Miller is so cute. He is the DC equivalent of Marvel's Spiderman. Third: I love Batman, but I also love making fun of him. Whenever he comes on screen I do the signature throat cancer voice and say "I'm Batman" to my other two classmates sitting next to me. One is annoyed, one thought it was funny. Fourth: I love how everyone in the cinema agrees that Wonder Woman is the best. When she appeared on screen everyone cheered (softly). Fifth: best line in the whole movie, when Batman is asked what his superpower is, he answers "I'm rich." Sixth: My classmate finds my annoyance on Superman's shirtless-ness funny. I could not concentrate on the following scenes just because Superman loses his top but his pants are still intact and in good condition. HOW. Seventh: How can Superman's girlfriend fly away with him to the stratosphere and not die of oxygen deprivation??
Then comes a week-long Christmas holiday before our study break, which totals in two weeks of extra time to study. Bad news is, the one subject that needed the most study time is the first paper on the first day. And I haven't started on anything yet. I've been saying I'd get a PS4 since last year, but I might really buy one next year during my semester break. I have seven PS4 games sitting on my shelf, waiting for me to play them. Caligula OD is coming to PS4 soon, so I'm praying for a localization. There's Ni no Kuni 2, I might get the newest Dragon Quest (srsly I'm in need of more JRPGs to play), Nier Automata may be kicked out of my wishlist, but I really don't want to, because the music is great... but I suck at action games so...
Anyways my first paper is on the 8th so I better start studying eye lesions with plenty of gross pus on eyelids.
I'm featuring a new series of music I find interesting/obsessing/relevant to the current gaming scene. Guess which one this belongs to. Btw I've already heard this song waaaaaay before I knew of Death Stranding, in Thomas Sanders' Steven Universe playlist. Go listen to that playlist if you haven't. There's some amazing songs in there.

Events, Events Everywhere...
You know when I said University life is hectic as hell since I have 3 laboratory reports, multiple assignments and now even extra-curricular points to worry about! MSU is making my life easier by making us go to events as our compulsory assignments and projects... but still... this week is a physical stamina trainwreck!
ROUND 1: DMC RAPPORTEUR
I'm working with the 'top' students in this event: the Student Representative Council, aka "prefects" and oh god are they top students! I swear they don't eat or sleep. I have 2 lab reports due, but every day I only get to go home at 7pm +, so I didn't have any time to print shit. I'm just a smol committee tryin' to hustle ok!
The whole convention lasts three days: the first day was a holiday, so everyone is expected to be there to do their jobs. I drove to school before the sun is even up (without breakfast!). I got the morning session, the job was pretty easy. Had lunch with everyone, we fooled around for a bit on stage ("which comes first: the chicken or the egg??") before we were assigned to lead participants to their workshops. Everything was super tiring because there was nothing to do and we had to run around a lot.
I did not do much on the second day because I had class all day except in the morning. So I finished my slot in the morning and went to class as usual... then there's a stupid announcement on flash mob practice at 6pm, which would most probably extend until 9pm+... and it did. When I got back I finished half of my lab report and left the other half for the next day.
The last day was ok because I just need to be there for the closing ceremony. What sucked was that I brought many bags and it was a hassle. We took a bunch of pictures, joked around, mom came to fetch me home and I slept like a log.
Tl;dr, my team is awesome.
update: class was canceled so haha no need to pass up the lab report
ROUND 2: WORLD AIDS DAY FLASH MOB
PEC800 students have been practicing for this flash mob since a month ago, and only by 15th December we get to execute this shit. Technically it was because of last minute flash mob practices AND rapporteur jobs that made the day so packed. During our last two practice sessions it was a full-on rehearsal, and our flash mob was at the very end, so we had to sit through 3~4 hours of boring shit before our turn.
Brought my laptop to finish my lab report while waiting for our turn to perform. Managed to finish everything, all that is left were to print it out and bind it. The flash mob was not so much of a surprise anymore because of sudden technical issues with the music (lmao), so I'm kinna like "FOR REAL??? I DIDN'T PRACTICE A MONTH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN???" and also we were required to wear red. Everyone would be suspicious if everyone wore red. Anyway the dance was awesome, I enjoyed myself, and I enjoyed it even more when afternoon class was canceled so I attended DMC closing ceremony.
ROUND 3: PEC MAJOR PROJECT
This one takes the cake for being extremely annoying and making me 100x anxious. This fell on exactly 17th December, and guess what also falls on the same day??? COMIC FIESTA DAY 1.
I was going to sell my ticket but no one wanted it... haha I didn't pay RM25 for nothing so yep I'm going to CF after my project, dirt and sweat and all!
Nothing really interesting happened except for the final event. We were going to play a tug of war to determine the winning team. Let's just say our team is... the least ideal team. We only had two guys, one is a professional dancer, the other a lazy bum, both are average built. We have no big-sized girls, all of us were either tiny or tall and lean or chubby. The opposing team had at least 5 guys, at least one was big-sized. They won in a landslide. We were totally annihilated. When the game started we were immediately pulled forward, we were (literally) flying, our feet were not even on the ground, I fell, bruised my arm and bum, my friend peeled the skin on her palm. It was BRUTAL.
ROUND 4: HEALTH SCIENCE WEEK
We have to set up a booth and make 3D models of the major human systems. This was known since a month ago, as our assignment for Anatomy and Physiology subject. So me and a classmate did a mechanism model instead of a 3D one, but all worked out, our lecturer was meh. Since ours involve a lot of water all I can say our model was in the verge of collapsing at the end.
There was a talk about organ donation and the speaker asked: "Are yall scared of organ donation?" and I'm like "Pfffttt what's there to be scared about" Apparently most people didn't know that organ donation takes place after you dead. Like????? Huh????? Kidneys and liver can be donated when a person is still alive but other organs???? People don't use common sense???? They had a Q&A session with really easy questions. The problems lies if you dare to step out to answer on the microphone. If you do you get a t-shirt. I did. The colour was nice.
The second day is just a prize giving ceremony. It was supposed to end on that day, but somehow the following day our lecturer had to judge a video competition so we're like???? We wanna study plz???? We ended up being in the same hall to watch videos about traditional medicine.
After all these events we need to write reports and hand them in within a week haha goodbye life, see you in 2017.

I DIDN'T PRACTICE A MONTH FOR THIS TO HAPPEN???" and also we were required to wear red. Everyone would be suspicious if everyone wore red. Anyway the dance was awesome, I enjoyed myself, and I enjoyed it even more when afternoon class was canceled so I attended DMC closing ceremony.
ROUND 3: PEC MAJOR PROJECT
This one takes the cake for being extremely annoying and making me 100x anxious. This fell on exactly 17th December, and guess what also falls on the same day??? COMIC FIESTA DAY 1.
I was going to sell my ticket but no one wanted it... haha I didn't pay RM25 for nothing so yep I'm going to CF after my project, dirt and sweat and all!
Nothing really interesting happened except for the final event. We were going to play a tug of war to determine the winning team. Let's just say our team is... the least ideal team. We only had two guys, one is a professional dancer, the other a lazy bum, both are average built. We have no big-sized girls, all of us were either tiny or tall and lean or chubby. The opposing team had at least 5 guys, at least one was big-sized. They won in a landslide. We were totally annihilated. When the game started we were immediately pulled forward, we were (literally) flying, our feet were not even on the ground, I fell, bruised my arm and bum, my friend peeled the skin on her palm. It was BRUTAL.
ROUND 4: HEALTH SCIENCE WEEK
We have to set up a booth and make 3D models of the major human systems. This was known since a month ago, as our assignment for Anatomy and Physiology subject. So me and a classmate did a mechanism model instead of a 3D one, but all worked out, our lecturer was meh. Since ours involve a lot of water all I can say our model was in the verge of collapsing at the end.
There was a talk about organ donation and the speaker asked: "Are yall scared of organ donation?" and I'm like "Pfffttt what's there to be scared about" Apparently most people didn't know that organ donation takes place after you dead. Like????? Huh????? Kidneys and liver can be donated when a person is still alive but other organs???? People don't use common sense???? They had a Q&A session with really easy questions. The problems lies if you dare to step out to answer on the microphone. If you do you get a t-shirt. I did. The colour was nice.
The second day is just a prize giving ceremony. It was supposed to end on that day, but somehow the following day our lecturer had to judge a video competition so we're like???? We wanna study plz???? We ended up being in the same hall to watch videos about traditional medicine.
After all these events we need to write reports and hand them in within a week haha goodbye life, see you in 2017.

上个礼拜四发生了很好的事。非常好。好得那天的疲倦悲伤都不见了。
那就是……
YURI ON ICE第7集！！！！！
我简直是哭了。两次。还大喊大叫，被老妈骂说被鬼上身（差不多啦），最后我还在地上打滚傻笑。天啊啊啊啊啊！！！！我好开心！！！！已经九天了我还忘不了啊啊啊！！！

最近很多活动，更可恶的是有个偏偏落在CF2016的第一天！我买票了的啊！我先定下那天的！是你们应该改日期才对啊！我很生气！！！！现在在想要怎吧票卖掉，不然25块就这样浪费了。加上其他两个活动我觉得更要死了。两个都是被逼要参加的，其中一个关于生命科学的还好，另外个是AIDS海报设计比赛……唉那个真无聊。为了Malaysia Book of Records才办的，想要破什么《最多参赛者的海报设计比赛》？？海报的印刷还是消费很高的那种：glossy paper in A3？？想问主办当局有没有想过在参赛的都是学生啊？哪来那么多钱给你印个glossy paper海报？？？
Tl;dr，我的学校好无聊。

MSU啥？？？
MSU……啊啊啊……
老实说，我最不开心也只有不能穿短裤上课而已。
所以……我现在在个马来学校读书。本人对马来学校有偏见，因为经验告诉我他们会偷懒。
Orientation时期规定要穿formal。与我比较有交情的人知道我最讨厌dress code，现在它还要求要穿一个礼拜……我靠！不过我还是穿formal去了，能怎样？
Student handbook里面有写着学生的穿着：膝盖以上不得穿，无袖不得穿，拖鞋is no-no（虽然看到很多人穿），紧紧的衣服不能穿（还是很多女生穿紧身裤）等等……唉谁管他的，我即将成为学校里的时尚达人！！！Call me your fashionable senpai!!! *flips hair... i dont hv hair to flip lol*
最早的课有8点，最迟的有到11点晚上才放。目前为止我最早是9点，最迟到6点，所以有时候是老妈来在我回家。基本上现在是早上老豆载我去上课，如果是11点的课就自己搭巴士去学校。如果4点放学也是自己搭巴士回家。所以我的腿还蛮结实的，不过当我可以开车去学校时大概又会变回肥肉了。
说到车，我买车了！！银色Myvi一辆~可惜现在没有再出产Kenari了，要不然我是一定买Kenari的。本来如果买manual（stick）的话要等6个月才拿到车，我也很愿意等……orientation最后一天老妈载我回家时salesman打来说车已经有了？？嗯，才订车一个星期而已？？办完手续后隔天拿车！虽然我对车没要求（小是最好），可是晚上要去拿车时还挺兴奋的。原来买新车是那么地开心的（？）
开学前我把PS宝贝包得美美，想必以后没有时间去用……呵呵，才第4个星期功课堆积如山，脑袋冒烟时第一个想要做的就是玩Assassin's Creed。唉。
本以为（马来大学）不会烂到哪里去，不过事实证明我是错的。不管是小学中学大学都好，只要admin是马来人……都没什么好结过。我的课程没有mid sem，可是pharmacy有，他们需要课室和监考老师，所以这个星期完全没有课，因为老师们都被拉去‘站岗’了。好懒啊啊啊！！！！
给我那么多假期也没用，还好婆婆下来一个星期，我有时间练开车。在家里一直有东西没做好的感觉，又不能打机又不能出去玩（存钱CF花），坐在家里发呆上网……好颓废。
可以自己一个人开车了，不过parking还是很烂，除了park家里其它的都会歪掉不然就是出线。
上课第5个星期后发现我没有做功课的地方。因为我常常用电脑所以是不可能把电脑桌拿来用，工作室我也不愿意拿来用（位子够小了还要放课本我的天！）。解决方法：在书房做。书房的灯换了所以不会很热，可是在书房的玉石桌也只有那么一点点的位子。
好多报告和功课还没做，要死了。
