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!Labels: gymnastics, skip beat, the gross lamp, vampire knight

Taiwan Day 3, 4, 5
There's just too much to write [in detail]! Which is why I didn't post anything about Taiwan in the last 2 days. I'll just give you a quick summary. On Sunday, Ming Di (Yu Wen's mom's youngest sister) brought us around Taiwan to these places I forgot the names of. It was really fun! We rode around in this black van.The temperature in Taiwan is sizzling hot at this time of the year. We had to carry umbrellas around, and sweat like crazy. We went to this place that had a rock that seriously looked like a queen's head, if you look at it from a certain angle. I love Taiwan food. They have a lot of really good snacks and stuff. We went to the museum thing and saw the biggest piece of gold in the world, I think. It weighed about 300-odd kilograms, and you can actually touch it. There were some scratch marks on the gold, because gold is soft. It's made of 99.9% (or something like that) gold and the rest is something else. We also went to see the "Crown Prince Chalet", where Prince Hirohito from Japan stayed when he came to Taiwan. We went to the market, too, with Ming Di. The evening sky was beautiful, like a painting or something. I was taking pictures of it from the car, so most of them were kinda blur.On Monday, we wanted to go to the shop, called Julia, where I bought the Swarovski crystals for my phone, but it wasn't open yet, so we went to a tiny shop beside it. I bought 2 different earrings (not in pairs) and had the lady there clip off the sharp point so I could stick the earrings on my phone. I also bought some really pretty hair accessories there. We ate lunch at this place (called Niu Ba Ba something - niu: cow; ba ba: father) that was famous for their beef noodles. There were a lot of framed newspaper, magazine articles about the restaurant.We went to the biggest bookstore in Taiwan (in a building called "eslite"), and there I bought this silver butterfly necklace with real butterfly wings as the pendant! It's not what you think! They took the wings after the butterfly died. There were 2, one in this beautiful blue color and the other in... I don't know, actually. It changes color depending on which angle you're looking at it. I took a really long time choosing, but in the end I bought the 2nd one (the guy said he'd recommend the blue one if I wanted to wear it, but the 2nd one if I wanted to collect it, because the blue one was really nice and the 2nd one was hard to get).I also bought 2 My Flat in London bags by someone called Jan Haedrich. Very girly, very feminine. The clerk there spoke to us in English, so we spoke back to her in English. But the way she spoke... it sounded like she was having a lot of trouble. I thought she was Japanese or something. But then later my mom said something in Chinese, then the girl was like, in Mandarin, "Ahhh! You know how to speak Chinese? Why didn't you speak in Chinese? I was going to die! I don't know how to speak English!"
Lol, right? Then we went to the 101 Tower, just to take a few pictures, and went back to the hotel. Then we went to the Shilin night market. Taiwan night markets are very different from the ones here. They're a lot nicer. The shops there are small, but most are decorated very, VERY nicely. And they're actually in buildings, but most of them have no front door (but they do have air-conditioning).
We woke up at 5:45AM (it was bright, even at that time of the day) today because the flight was really early. Then blah.
Well, so much for a short summary. The first one was short though. Omg, the stuff in Taiwan are so niceeeeee! And can you believe the Vampire Knight anime, season 1, has only 13 EPISODES??? But it's sooooooooooooo nice and I love it! I watched it in our hotel room (we upgraded our room to the executive-something so we had Internet access there, and now my Youtube's in Chinese and I don't know how to change it back =.=).
OMG!! I can't wait for season 2.

Behold... My Future! & My New Blogskin
I don't know what's wrong with the Mash Game code, but just keep scrolling down to see who I will marry and where we'll live! XD
|
Of course, this is just for fun and I don't really believe in this stuff, but it's funnnn~! It's like a quiz thing.
|
By the way, guys, I'm going to stop coloring my posts colorfully (*sob!*) so that it'll be easier to switch blogskins. The colorful font clashes with blogskins if they are not black or white, so...
I'm sad to leave my colorful fonts behind.
|
Now scroll down.
|
I will marry Kaname Kuran. |
|
|
 
|
After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in Japan in our fabulous House. |
|
Just keep scrolling.
|
|
We will have 1 kid(s) together. |
|
|
 
|
Our family will zoom around in a pink Ferrari. |
Go on! You're nearly there!
|
|
I will spend my days as a actress, and live happily ever after. |
|
|
And here you are. ^^
 |

Isn't that cool? It says I'm going to marry Kaname Kuran (hot, pureblood vampire from Vampire Knight). I wrote "Zero Kiryu" (who is also very hot) and "Kaname Kuran" under "crushes" in the Mash Game quiz thing. Hahaha.
I'm afraid this blogskin is a little ... since you have to scroll and scroll and scroll. By the way, to view the other stuff in the sidebar, press the "down" arrow at the bottom right. This skin is pretty, but I have too much stuff in the sidebar for such a smallish skin.
The words in this skin are all aligned to the left, too. I wanted to use this Tsubasa blogskin, but the blue totally clashed and looked like vomit with my colorful font. So I have to sacrifice my dear colorful fonts.
Which is pretty sad. I'm probably known by some of you guys by my colorful fonts. But Tash stopped coloring HER fonts a long time ago too because of the problem (it clashes with some blogskins).
Darnnnnn... >.<>dull? Isn't that so incredibly DULL?!?
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHH! This has been quite a frustrating day (because I went blogskin-hunting and there were so many choices, not to mention the frustration of finding out how my precious rainbow fonts clashed with the blue Tsubasa skins). I spent so much time on this stupid (but pretty) blogskin. Darn darn darn.
No using the computer tomorrow. How sad. I hate this rule. I should go continue watching the Vampire Knight anime (each episode is divided into three parts, so type something like "Vampire Knight episode 4 part 2" or something; make sure you non-Japanese-speaking people look for the ones with English subtitles) on Youtube. I'm up to episode 8...
Drat. I can't watch it. I have to go to my grandmother's house. Sigh. Oh well then. I guess I'll see you tomorrow next Saturday. Bye!
P.S. I should post pics of Vampire Knight on my blog so you guys will know at least what they look like.

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.
