Shopping [at the bookstore] is Like a Cure For Disappointment

I know I'm not supposed to be using the computer, but I'm at Yu Wen's house and I got permission from my mom, so it's fine. Our gymnastics class was cancelled yesterday because they said if we went we'd be joining the really little kids, so they didn't want to waste our time that way. I was really upset about it when I got the SMS from my mom when I checked my phone after school. I was looking so forward to it, and it was CANCELLED.

But I felt a whole lot better when Mom took me shopping at The Gardens (connected to Mid Valley) and brought me to Borders. I bought the 3rd volume of Vampire Knight and 10 volume of Skip Beat!. The guys in VK are SO hot, and SB is really, really interesting and funny. I didn't really mind missing gymnastics for that. Not really.

Then we went to the address, this shop selling freakishly expensive but pretty things. My mom bought a lamp there. It's a little gross, the lamp. I think it's made of ceramic or something, with small white-and-blue tiles studded on the whole thing, making an irregular pattern when you put the lamp over the bulb. It's in the shape of a lady's body (no clothes!), from the neck to the thighs, and hands that are cut off after the shoulders. It's hollow on the inside, so you put it over this dark piece of wood with a light bulb on it, and the statue/lamp lights up. Reminds me of this famous statue I saw on TV, but I don't know what it's called.

We went for our first official gymnastics class just now and it was fun! Although I have to admit that the trial lesson was for some reason a little better. Embarrassing that I can't do a split (not even close to one; there are 2 kinds of splits and I practiced the other one). But oh well. I'll learn. At least I can do a bridge, right? Learned it a long time ago. JoAnne and F. Sher-Lyn taught me.

I've got to go home now. Too bad I can't stay longer. Bye!

Ballet Photos and Manga ♥

Hmm... I guess I'll blog now. Tash is threatening to kidnap my dog if I don't, so... and also I don't want my blog to rot and die.

Emily asked me if vampires were bad on Friday, so we both went to ask Ms. Catherine... And... and I think you know the answer. You know the answer, don't you? The horrible, terrible answer that made me want to... ugh.

Of course the answer was yes.

Omg. What about Edward Cullen? And more importantly, Vampire Knight?? Vampire Knight is this manga that I bought, and it's reaaaallyyy nice. It's about this girl called Yuki Cross, and there are these 2 guys in the manga named Zero Kiryu and Kaname Kuran ♥, who are both ultra-mega-super hot. I don't know what's wrong with me, with the whole "fictional anime boys are so hot but they don't exist but they're hot anyway so they should" thing. Maybe because they're so flawless (because they're fictional, it's possible)...

=____________=

We had this ballet photoshoot thing yesterday. Each of us took individual pictures of ourselves in 2 or 3 different poses, and then a class picture. We got to wear tutus and we got to wear makeup, too! I wore blue to match my tutu.

This is one of my poses. Too bad I wasn't smiling (I was trying to keep my balance ^^)

This is another picture of (from left) Boey, me, and Chow Shu.

Lazy to post more. The cameraman probably took some better-looking photos, but I don't have them, so these will have to do I guess. My mom took a lot. After that we changed into our burgundy leotards and character skirts and posed for a class picture.

It was fun! After that, I kept begging my mom if I could go to Borders, but she said no and that she was tired. In the car, she told me since we were in Taman Desa, I might as well go and cut my hair (I told her to ask the hairdresser to just layer it a little more, not cut like 4 inches or something). But of course, it must have gotten a little shorter.

While I was sitting in/on (which one is it?) chair in the salon, I had this feeling we were going to Borders ayway.

And guess what? Later my mom said I needed more clothing, and we went to Mid Valley, so I asked her if I could go to Borders, and she said yes! So we went to Jusco and bought some clothes (it was one of those rare times when I go shopping for clothes and actually enjoy it). And then we went to Borders, and I bought Skip Beat! Vol. 9 and Vampire Knight Vol. 2.

^.^ Yayyayyay. But then today, in the morning, I remembered that they had chapter 24 (CHAPTER<>

That's not fair!!!

... Or maybe I saw wrongly and they actually have more than 4 English translated Vampire Knight books at the store... I'm also waiting for High School Debut 4 to be translated and on sale...

Gosh. I wish I could read Japanese. Then I get to read EVERYTHING without waiting for the translation.

Isn't that a lovely thought?

Well, I'm kinda tired now. I think the radiation from the laptop is burning up my forehead or something... if that's even possible. Maybe I should go and rest. I wish my mom would let me get more than 2 books everytime I go to the bookstore, don't you? But then they would all be read in a day (because mangas can be finished in a really short time).

I like mangas anyway. Thank you, Tash, for introducing me to mangaaaaa when we went to Borders that day and you went to the manga section to look for High School Debut 1!

Megan (from our school) wants to borrow Vampire Knight... She says her dad doesn't care what she reads as long as she's reading when I asked her to ask her parents first (I thought they might not approve of the blood and stuff). Lol.

♥ ZERO AND KANAME ARE SOOOO HOT!!!! ♥

Unfortunately I can't upload any pics of them because the 2 pics that I chose are super small.
