YEAH!!! I got accepted for the Biology trip of awesomeness to Tioman!!! \(>0<)/
It suddenly feels so good to be taking Bio. -insert contented sigh-
Whew.
It was pretty close though... 'Cos I handed up my form seriously, Seriously, SERIOUSLY late, so I was thinking, "Oh crap I'm not gonna be accepted GAAAAAH NOOOOOO!"
Yes I really want to go. So stop asking.
But then today, Miss -insert name here... I'm really bad at names 'kay?!! shotshotshot- came to our class...
And so YEAH GINA AND I BOTH GOT ACCEPTED!!!! YATAA~!
Becuz, apparently lotsa scholars signed up for the trip but certain... matters... suddenly popped up and they hafta go back to whichever countries they came from so...
Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaah~~
Plenty of vacancies now!
Wheeeew.
Oh yeah, and lotsa friends from 302 are coming as well~
I met them all through Gina XDD
This is gonna be awesome.

One problem for me though...
Okay, so not really a 'problem', but... Ehehe.
Apparently, the trip's from 7th June to 10 June.
And I'm going on my family holiday on 11 June (also my bro's birthday XD).
Most likely, we'll be back from the trip in the afternoon or evening.
Sooo... mega rushness. Hehehe.
Oh yeah... I can totally imagine it now...
Upon returning home I shall immediately dump all my stuff into the washing machine and go on a mad frenzy throwing stuff into my holiday pack...
Ohoho. I seem to do that all the time though, school field trips or not.
Uh huh... I'm going to Australia, by the way...
Perth, to be exact.
And it'll be winter in June...
...
So first I shall suffer mass burning in Tioman then proceed to freeze to death in Perth.
...Talk about extreme...


Anyways, why am I even talking about the June vacation when the exams haven't even arrived yet...?!
This Tuesday's our first paper... Papers.
-facepalm- And I've yet to even breathe on my books.
I can't believe this...
I know I've never actually studied before but this is totally out of the scale.
I mean, at least I've FLIPPED through notes before...
And end up doodling total crap that I end up erasing anyways.
I need to confiscate my Tools of Slacking.
AKA my sketchbook and all pieces of paper with any available space for drawing, drawing pencils, DS, etc...
I wonder, is there a way to lock up my manga cupboard...?
Hehe, I guess not.
I should I just get someone to stand beside me at all times so they can slap me the moment I start slacking off?
... That would seriously hurt.

Speaking of my DS...
-sigh- I think I'm seriously gonna hafta restart Luminous Arc 2...
And I'm at the FINAL BATTLE, gosh dammit.
Yes, seriously.
Team, not good for battling that ASS OF AN ELICIA.
I HATE you Elicia. You and your bloody regenerating. I REDUCED YOUR HP TO 2000+ FROM 7000+ BUT YOU JUST HAD TO MURDER ALL MY ATTACKERS THEN PROCEED TO REGENERATE BACK TO FULL HEALTH WHILE STILL BOMBARDING MY REVIVED CHARS AND MURDERING THEM IN ONE HIT?!!! ASSS.
WHY THE HELL IS YOUR REGEN SKILL PASSIVE ANYWAYS?!! AND EVERY TURN?!!!!
TOTALLY messed up.
Plus I realize now I equipped some of them with the wrong Lapis for the battle. =___=
Not to mention, their levels are too low.
Actually, they're perfectly fine, but Atlus decided it would be nice to make Elicia have a ten-level jump from the second last battle, from 40 to 50. =_________=
Oh yeah, and the characters good for the battle are pretty much WAAAAY underleveled.
I don't like using them, okay?! ...Okay, I like Sadie, but that's just one.
And there's no way I can go for more training now, since opening up my Load file would just put me at the START of the second-last battle with no way of going back either.
I'm going to MURDER Elicia in my next Save file, or I will make all my characters kill themselves then delete the game.

But in a way restarting is good too, 'cuz somehow I can't shake the feeling that I'm gonna end up with the ass Fatima ending, which would totally suck.
Althea pwns Fatima 'kay.
The only thing Fatima is good for is freezing opponents so I can totally One-Hit-K.O them.
Oh, and apparently you can't freeze Elicia.
Gosh damn.

Ran 2.4 today--
And died, no duh.
Timing, 15.0-something.
Suck.
Eh but at least I passed. Prob a B or C.
Thing is, I'm pretty reluctant to go to sleep.
Becuz I know that when I wake up tomorow my legs are gonna be so aching I won't even be able to move.
...I'm serious.
Last year I literally had to lie on my bed the entire day and I couldn't move AT ALL, 'cuz my body was ultra ache-y and even making one movement was like OWWWWWW.
And it lasted for like one week.
That sucked.

Anyways... I shall try to make this my last post until after the exams.
Sooo... just a few pictures to show how my tablet practice is going along.
For drawing...



Tadaaah. For a meme.
I like the uniform deisgn I came up with~ (0 w 0)v
Just to let ya people know that the clothes design isn't this character's actual design.
The hair etc is though... Minus the clips there.
Excuse the unfinishedess...
I'm practicing with the Pen tool, so I won't be Pen tooling it until I'm satisfied with how my Penning is.
By the way, no Pen practice pictures. Too bad.

And dumdadum~ For coloring practice.



As you can see, I deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth for producing such an abomination.
And eyes were the smallest thing I could think of for coloring, okay?!!
Without being TOO small.
Besides, eyes are fun to draw.
Oh yeah, and can anyone actually tell that the style of drawing eyes has totally changed?
8D For the better!
But like Fish says...
They're HUGE, but somehow they still look balanced in the face...
...Am I awesome?

I hope there's KHR and DRRR!! this weekend...
I need my anime...
I'm already suffering from weekly KHR manga withdrawal...
How could Japan have a holiday on the week before exams?!!!
If I don't even have any anime to tide me through this phrase, I am seriously not gonna do well.
Manganime is my motivation!!!
... Which reminds me...
Should I pray to Mukuro-sama? O_O
'Cuz... I seriously prayed to him everyday before the year-end exams last year...
And I mysteriously passed everything. O______________________O
Note that I didn't study. As usual.
O_____________O
I always knew Mukuro-sama is a god. XDDDDDD
MUKURO-SAMA DAISUKIIIIIIIIII~~~~

Blegh, screw blogging weekly.
Schedules are hard to keep to.
Blog whenever you want, how often you want!
Yup!

Midyears in 2 weeks time...
And yet here Claire is, blogging instead of studying.
But since when have I EVER studied anyways...
I mean, WTH I PASSED MY PSLE AND SEC 2 STREAMING WITHOUT EVEN BREATHING ON THE BOOKS UNTIL THE DAY OF THAT SUBJECT SPECIFIC EXAM ITSELF.
...I'm not a good role model.
But I'm really gonna die this year at this rate...
Just, try to study. At least a little.
I highly believe I'm a GENIUS if only I try a little.

Anyways...
Practising with tablet.
Gotta improve if I ever wanna do any memes and art.
So...
Just a little something to show that Claire isn't dead yet.



Problems I have with it:
1. Lines waaaay too thick. And feathery. But it looks like charcoal pencil, which is A LITTLE nice.
2. HEAD. Specifically top of hair.
3. PROPORTIONS. THE BANE OF MY ARTIST LIFE. But surprisingly I always get perfect/near-perfect marks for proportion in my Fashion Design HW? O____o; Anyways, THE UPPER ARMS ARE WAY TOO STICK-THIN!
4. Is this... really my style...? Fail drawing due to noobness aside, I think my style changed... again. Damn. I liked my previous style... Okay so maybe this could be a pwnsome style with some practise, but.

By the way, something random I'm pretty sure no one noticed, 'cos it's being half-obstructed by the hair, but the way I drew the eye this time is different from how I normally do. XD

Claire IS still alive.
You can do it, Claire, and you'd better improve quickly cos there's a whole PILE of memes waiting for you in order to test your skills on a tablet.

Anyways, I think I'll sign up for a tablet-usage-and-along-the-way-manga-drawing class.
Gotta master my tablet... and Photoshop.
Photoshop's being a major pain in the butt since the only 2 tools I actually know and use are only Brush and Eraser. ._______.
Thing is, my mom's being stingy and insists I'll have to pay the full fee for the classes myself.
Even though I'm telling her that it's an investment for my future.
This is going to make me poor.

So, in an attempt to raise money, Gina and I have come up with a plan!
Actually Gina came up with it and suggested it to me.
Realized that all my Grand Plans which very seldom ever even work out are all interconnected yet?
Anyone knows Dou Hao?
The weekly Chinese mini-newspaper?
There's a drawing corner, right?
Apparently, if you submit entries in and your art gets chosen, you get money.
Although how much money you get exactly we don't know.
Sooo... The plan is...
Submit art, get money (hopefully), and use the money to fund my classes! (*>w0)/
Yepyep.
I've got no idea what Gina's going to do with whatever money she gets, though.
So if anyone sees an artwork that looks like it's in my style in the papers, chances are, it's me.
Upcoming week's theme... Legend, apparently, from Gina's translation.
JY Claire, you an do it if you try!

And for fun, peace and laughter, just a super random video my brother and I were watching last night.
We were literally laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. XDDDD

BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM, REMIX!!!!



XDDDDD
If you play the game, or watch someone play it, you'll get why this is so hilarious.
Oh at least laugh at the randomness of it all.
But for best results, understand what's all the stunts about.
This is all real, btw, not staged.
As in, the guy's really doing it to total strangers.
SO MUCH FOR STEALHINESS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I love the last one, btw.
The one where he went to spray the Batman symbol on the floor.
I wonder how he made it explode.
ORIGIN: In the game, you mostly use the detonating gel to explode walls so you can pass.
But you can also spray it on say, floors, then when the bad guys walk and step on it, it automatically goes BOOOOOOOOOM!!!! and they get permanantly whacked out for the count.
SO HOW DOES THE GUY MAKE IT REALLY EXPLODE IN REAL LIFE?!!! XDDD

This guy, is officially awesome. XDDD
He has a heck lot more vids parodying other games.
LIKE TETRIS HAHAHAHA
I never knew it was possible to cosplay a Tetris block XDDDD
There's another one, Metal Gear Solid 4, WHERE APPARENTLY HE AND HIS FELLOW COSPLAYER GOT THE REAL CREATOR OF THE GAME TO JOIN THEM FOR A WHILE IN THEIR RANDOM BOUTS OF AWESOME O___________O
I'm seriously impressed. Are they THAT awesome? That the creator would actually join them to film 15 seconds of LOL?!!

The Elite Beats Agents one, honestly never heard of it before, but total WIN TO THEM DANCING RANDOMLY IN PLACES.
ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHERE THEY INTENTIONALLY DANCED IN FRONT OF A CAR XD
And got honked at XDDDDDDDD

You can laugh your butt off watching their vids.
