Oh... Now that December has began for the Year 2009, January 2010 will be there soon. I haven't read anything from my form five books, should start with it but ngh, so lazy these days. Especially since we have family matters to deal with and the temptation of the book fair which ended today, lol!

Last week I went to the Big Bad Wolf Book Fair, bought a book titled 'The Queen's Husband' written by the late Jane Plaidy. It's an old book, published on 1973, right, 20 years before I myself exist. It's about Queen Victoria and her Prince Consort, Albert. Honestly, there's not much heavy romance implied (most of the time I buy historical romance book because I want to read the romance scenes, lol) but I like to know about historical stuffs. History books won't do for me, I need historical fiction, yes. Plus, I rather not read books I don't like. The choice there is limited. I saw people holding Julia Quinn's books and I found nothing at all. Sucks.

But that's the first day of the sale, so perhaps they have restock the books. Then again, I don't feel like walking and wasting money all over again, but then again, I have money and we'll be going straight to the place and return home, UNLIKE last time where I decided to go to Kinokuniya, KLCC to buy Kaoru's artbook, Sugar Addict. Of course, I dragged Izzu and Bheal along with me.

AoibhealFae is a long name, what nick should I give to her? Yes, Bheal = BIEL. *grins*

Btw, I recently passed my 50K word count and that automatically made me the winner of NaNoWriMo '09! OH YEAH! When I announced so, people are wondering what I am going to do with my 51K novel. My answer: Rewrite it back from the beginning, complete with proper names and objectives of the story. I am slow like a snail, writing it out again and there's no deadline to fear of. Wish me good luck!

I also did some colouring, well, two actually. From my favourite love-hate series, Vampire Knight. Ehe.





So much pink. <3

Today, I accompanied AoibhealFae to Pearson & Penguin Books Warehouse Sale, intending to find books at a cheap price. This is my second books warehouse sale trip, the last being the MPH Warehouse Sale, where I got Johanna Lindsey's "THE LOVING SCOUNDREL". This time, I bought two books, one titled "EMMA-JEAN LAZARUS FELL OUT OF A TREE" by Lauren Tarshis and the other by Virginia Henley, "UNMASKED".

I'm not that interested with modern, contemporary, or school-based books, thus I ended up looking like a lost girl and asked myself, "I don't even know most of these titles, UGH, and to just read the summary for a quick decision, it just wouldn't work." Most of my favourite authors write historical romance, and I know well that they never write stories for children. That's why I randomly picked up 'Emma-Jean Fell Off a Tree', for a light reading, and usually I forget about an interesting book that I placed it back. I don't even remember the title, but it's blue. Hmm, was it by Roald Doahl? *shakes head* No, although his name is clear as always.

After all, I'm shy to bring historical romance novels to school, so 'Emma-Jean Fell Off a Tree' can be used to read in school after exam, which is after October and the three weeks of November before school holidays starts! I guess after this, I better start reading these stories for children rather than indulging in the heavy romance of historical series. *grins*

We then went to Amcorp Mall to eat McDonalds, went to a bookshop since AoibhealFae wanted to buy that one vampire book, and randomly I spotted my classmate, the one who ranked first in my class. He queued up after my sister, I paused for a few seconds, we stared at each other and then pretty much ignored one another, lol. I left my hair free, yet I kept my glasses on, but I probably looked different with and without my head scarf.

At least I know he didn't just stay at home and read school books, like JZ often said to annoy him every single day. He played online games with his friends and read fiction books, too!

Until then!

ps: Oops, here's a colouring of Kurenai Maria. I've been craving for a coloured panel of Maria and here it is now. Next is probably Shirabuki Sara, and perhaps switch with Maria on occasion.



Tell me what you think! Comments are loved!

My actual birth date was on the 18th of September, at 8:20 p.m. Occasionally, I would wait until the clock passes 8:20 p.m. and then I'll formally wish myself a Happy Birthday. My sister who shared the same birthday as I do, was born during the day while I was born during the night. We're like the opposite of one another. =D

I am not that familiar with the 'Sweet Sixteen' tradition as it is not a part of my culture, and birthday parties, I don't do well with cakes, icings or even ice-creams. Parties are also not my idea of choice, I don't celebrate other people's birthdays or rather... never get invited to one, the only ones are just my family and I act freely the very way I like. Although if my birthday present is actually a chocolate, perhaps I'll give an exception to that. I call myself a chocolate whore, sometimes.

I woke up today for sahur, I went into my parent's bedroom, saw my dad and he wished me 'Happy Birthday'. I smiled and walked out, saw Izzu at the laptop in the living room and I went to the kitchen to wash my mouth. Then she appeared and wished my 'Happy Birthday', and normally I would push ppl away if they try to kiss me but for this special day, I let myself be kissed. Time passed, I was personally waiting for mum to wish me Happy Birthday because a wish from a mother is always the best wish of all. *sniff in tears* I waited, and waited. Then finally she wished me Happy Birthday and I smiled. Love you, mama. I shall and always be your baby girl. :3

Being the youngest child in the family is kind of fun, you're loved by your entire siblings and most of all, your parents. Of course, it's natural to fight every single time but then we're back with the family bonding. I learnt a lot, all those experiences I received, were all those coming from my parents and sisters. I am the youngest, not the oldest, and my eldest sister is 13 years older than me, so if you count properly, my parents are already in their mid 50s. My parents lived in a different time, they taught me a lot. My sisters too, although not that different, at least about 5 to 10 years, they're already big when I was born.

Imagine, I was a baby when most of my sisters were five, eight, twelve and thirteen years old.

And now I have two nieces which are both brats, like always, babies do that, haha. They're 4 and a year & 5 months old nieces. It reminded me of my situation with my sisters, the eldest was 13 when I was born. Looking back at my own nieces, I was twelve when the eldest was born, and I was fifteen when the second was born. My second sister got married this year, and after she's done with her Masters, does that mean I'll get more future nieces and nephews? Have to think if my elder sister decides to fill in her next child, too. ;)

And being a girl with no younger siblings even though she wished for one or two, she got them anyway. My nieces don't treat me as their auntie, they treated me as their playmate and a big sister. Should play peek-a-boo with them soon. ;D

Today, I checked my email, checked Facebook, and checked LJ. Thank you so much for your wishes everyone. I do not seek gifts because well, it's simply because I cannot decide what I want. How troublesome. If you wish to give me something special, I do not mind at all, I welcome it and I reply with a 'thank you'.

Thank you mom, dad, sisters, friends online and real life, everyone who wishes me, thanks, thanks, thanks!

My greatest wish is something that I have to earn by myself and not simply a gift from someone else. Besides wanting that website of my own, I would want to become a fine and successfuly person in the world of art, it possible. Because I have to earn it myself, thus I have to work hard for it.

Since mom has been in her baking mode, she's baking all kinds of cakes. As for me, I wrote something inspired from Sagakure's fanart of Kaname in the Snow. Here's an excerpt of it.

Title: The Snow, the Past
Summary: Haruka and Juri took young Kaname to see his first snow, a story that happened a few years after the loss of their beloved child until Kaname's discovery that he was not HaJu's child. Inspired by a fanart by SGK. A special two-shot written for my bday.
LINK to read: HERE

Excerpt:

“Look yon, Kaname. Do you know what you are seeing?”

The young boy stared at his father for a moment and returned his watchful gaze towards the soft yet cold, small balls of ice, which is falling from the deep skies. He reached out his hands to feel the balls of ice, but as soon as it touched his gloved palms, the ice melted.

Noting that his son was clueless with the small incident, he gave a shy smile and said slowly, “The humans called that as ‘snow’, it is frozen water vapour. When you bring the snow to a heat source, or a flat object, it’ll melt.”

Not quite understanding but the boy reached out his hand to take some of the snow. “But why does it melt, Father? Why? What is snow? Father?” he asked with wonder. It was the same, again, the snow that fell on his hands melted once again.

Kuran Haruka smiled and patted his son’s head. “This is snow. It is made of frozen water vapour, Kaname. When you touch it, you’ll feel wet, because snow is actually water. Look around you, feel the surroundings,” he told him.

It's still the first part, second part will come shortly soon.

Yes, yes, the object of my affection, Le Chevalier d'Eon is increasing rapidly. :D

Yesterday, we went to my uncle's house because my cousin is getting engaged! We didn't go see the engagement though but I'm sure we'll see the marriage ceremony anyway in the future. So once we're done with that, we went to UKM because AoibhealFae have to oversee her department of FSKB. We walked around the convocation fair and I saw something of interest. THE FLIP FLAP! Or like I would usually call it as the 'Solar Flower Pot'.

I got a 'Buttefly on a Dice' Flip Flap, this one costs MYR 10. The 'Flower in a Pot' costs MYR 8, but I rather go unique than usual Flip Flap. After doing research, I supposed my Flip Flap is a bootleg, cos' the actual Japanese product have certain functions and I don't see that functions on my Flip Flap. Still, I don't really care. All I care is that it moves when there's solar energy and the fact that it's damn cute, plus it's just TEN DOLLARS. Pictures later, I'll probably post in my Facebook.

At the very same day, the night of the day, I made an AMV. Le Chevalier d'Eon has influenced me from yesterday to today and until I finish reading the entire manga, it'll stick inside my head. Besides, I'm up-to-date to VK, so I'm without anything to read, besides reading Conan, BOTWG, and hmm... the random series I read but already finish. Storm in Heaven is going to scanlate Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru. Yay!

All right, back to the subject, I made an AMV of Kaname and Yuuki, using scenes from chapter 49 to 52. I also used two scenes from chapter 34 but that's because I like it, I cannot help it but added it anyway. It's a very SPOILERISH video to those who are not updated to VK, but no big deal about it. Y'know, after watching the video, it doesn't look weird or out of proportions. It just fit, and it's 4 chapters. :D

Here you are;



Hopefully that 'Over Night' will be loved by many just like my previous AMV, 'I'm in Heaven'. Truly, this AMV followed what my head wants. Thank you. PS: And if you're wondering why it's short, it's because I cannot do long-length video due to time constraint. If I start on a long-length video, there's possibility I won't finish it at all.

If you have YouTube account, leave comments there. If not, here is okay too. :D
