   Strawberry Panic! Ep7
[Posted @ 4:30 PM]
The first words I uttered when I saw this episode was ‘Holy Sweet Mother of God!’ LOL. Alright, Evil Lesbians™ anyone?

Amane fangirls were as usual squealing for Amane at the training grounds and Amane galloping around on Star Bright. However, Amane’s mind was not at peace, in fact she’s feeling a little unsettled, no, lonely, no idea. It’s nothing she had encountered before and then, she saw Hikari half-hiding behind a tree trunk looking at her. That point, she felt something in her heart. In class, Tamao was whispering to Nagisa that she’s getting vibes from Amane and Hikari. Densely, Nagisa replied, so? LOL Tamao, probably a little frustrated from the lack of response, explained that Amane was never used to be that close to anyone before. Tamao deduced that it must be ‘LOVE’ lol, Amane’s L-O-V-E. Tamao then made this lovey dovey face lol. Nagisa uncomfortably replied ‘Oh, is that so?’ LOL. However, it doesn’t seem that only Tamao had noticed it, Kenjou Kaname, Vice-President of St Spica too. [Hm, in the manga, Kiyashiki Momomi’s the Vice-President and there’s no such person as Kenjou Kaname in the manga so she’s a new character. Sorry I made a serious mistake, there IS a Kenjou Kaname in the manga lol but she's entirely different from the Kenjou Kaname in the anime. In the anime, Kaname's a villain but in the manga she seems to be an admirer of Amane lol. Whoa.]

Kaname told her possibility of Amane in love with Hikari to Kiyashiki Momomi, Secretary of St Spica over at the rooftop. Kaname regarded Hikari to be Amane’s Achilles’ heel. Momomi’s impressed at Kaname’s keen observations, Kaname replied that since she considered Amane to be her rival, it’s natural for her to keep track. Momomi ended the conversation with a kinda evil under meaning of what will happen to the flower under the sun if it gets blown away by the wind. [Kinda mean the sun, Amane couldn’t do anything to protect the flower, Hikari if it got blown away by the wind, Evil Lesbians™ lol] Hikari and Amane met up, it appeared that a tournament’s coming up and Amane’s even practicing during lunch breaks. Amane asked if Hikari would be there to send her off to the tournament, Hikari replied of course and had this serious expression. It appeared that Hikari had a present for Amane but before she could give it to Amane, they were interrupted by noisy fangirls and Amane had to go. Little did they know that they were watched by Shion, President of St Spica.

Shower scene! Amane’s bathing in the shower and after she finished, she noticed that Shion waiting for her outside. Shion asked if Amane had considered her suggestion. [Competing in the Etoile Battle] Amane returned that she had already rejected that suggestion. When Shion asked why, Amane refrained from responding. Shion reckoned that due to the fact that there’s a line of girls dying to give presents to Amane outside the clubhouse, this will affect her qualifications to compete in the Etoile battle. Amane smiled and replied that it’s not that, but if she accepts one present, she would have to accept even more future presents. Shion told Amane that she should choose a girl and problem solved. Amane said that she doesn’t have anyone in mind. Shion pushed on, saying out Hikari’s name and said that if Hikari were to give Amane a present, will she accept it? Amane was rendered speechless. Shion knew she hit the jackpot, approached Amane, did the Marimite ‘Your necktie’s crooked’ thingy and left.


Meanwhile, Hikari’s praying and Yaya noticed that Hikari had not given Amane the present. The reason why Hikari’s hesitating was because of the rumour that Amane would not accept any presents. Yaya asked if Hikari likes Amane. Hikari nodded. Yaya, like what a best friend would do, encouraged Hikari to go for it if not she wouldn’t be able to express her feelings across to Amane. In the St Spica student council room, Kaname told Shion to give up on Amane. Momomi agreed and said that they’re wasting their time. Besides, Amane had no interest and furthermore Amane’s rough around the edges. Shion however still thinks that Amane had the qualifications to compete in the Etoile battle after the conversation she had with Amane earlier. A while later, after Shion left, Kaname and Momomi plotted up a little evil plan by taking down the flower [Hikari]. Kaname planned to seduce Hikari over to her side and thus making Amane helpless. Momomi buttered up to Kaname but commenting that the little girl would not be able to resist the charms of Kaname. Smirking, Kaname said that things were getting interesting.

Back in the dorm room of Tamao and Nagisa, Tamao’s worried over the almost no development between Amane and Hikari as both parties were really shy with each other. Tamao began agonizing over that matter and Nagisa muttered ‘It’s difficult.’ Tamao agreed, however Nagisa’s referring to her French book LOL. In Hikari and Yaya’s room, Hikari’s really happy humming as she was taking a bath while Yaya’s sitting on her bed recalling the advice she gave to Hikari which was ‘Not able to communicate the feelings across’. Yaya seemed bothered with herself for giving that advice. Meanwhile, in Kaname and Momomi’s room, Kaname’s writing a fake love letter to Hikari. After Kaname finished, she advanced towards Momomi who sat up on bed and slotted the letter in between Momomi’s breasts. [LOL! KANNADUKI NO MIKO!] Kaname then asked Momomi to be the ‘Bee’ in their plan, the bee that delivers the pollen [Letter] to the flower [Hikari]. Momomi agreed to do it. Blushing and eyes sparkling, Momomi said that but then, whenever bees deliver pollens to the flowers, they would need to drink water. Kaname replied water or whatever, drink as much as you like and lunged forward, catching Momomi in a kiss? And Momomi giggling as the scene faded out. Hahaha, kinda like the Shizuru and Tomoe scene in Mai Otome with the ripping sound XD. Very suggestive, little doubt that they didn’t do it.

Amane laid on bed, thinking about Shion’s words if Hikari were to give the present, would she accept it? The next day, Momomi delivered the letter to Hikari saying it’s from someone special, hinting it to be Amane and left. Hikari thanked Momomi, Momomi grinned and said don’t mention it, as she’s the bee after all lol. Hikari opened the letter and blushed upon reading the contents. The next day, the whole of St Spica were at Amane’s departing ceremony and this amazed Nagisa. Tamao said that it’s of course as St Spica’s sports were all top class. Yaya walked among the crowd and recalled last night’s events where Hikari told her that she’s meeting Amane before the ceremony and this time she would give the present to Amane. At the meeting place, Hikari was surprised to see Kaname walking towards her and apologizing for making her wait. Back at the ceremony, Shizuma was there to send Amane off too and Shion was wondering where Kaname and Momomi had gone to. Moving back to Hikari, Hikari realized she had been fooled. There’s no way Amane could had met her as the ceremony was about to begin.


At the ceremony, Amane strolled in on Star Bright with Hikari nowhere in sight, Yaya sensed that something’s wrong and left to find her. Kaname clutched Hikari on the shoulder causing her to drop the letter and her present. Kaname told Hikari that Amane wouldn’t even notice if she didn’t attend the ceremony and asked if Hikari knows Icarus from the Greek Mythology. Icarus had flown too near the sun resulting the wax on his wings to melt and hence plunging into the ocean. Using this metaphor, Kaname warned Hikari to avoid the sun [Amane]. However, Kaname added that she’s a sun too that Hikari may approach and Kaname confessed her love for Hikari. Remembering her promise to Amane to attend the ceremony, Hikari wriggled free from Kaname’s grasp, picked up her present and dashed off. Like a true villain, Kaname smirked and said this would be even worthy of her pursue and go after Hikari. Back at the ceremony, Nagisa and Tamao were wondering where was Hikari. Now, even Shizuma noticed that Amane’s feeling unsettled. Amane said she’s alright but couldn’t help but scan around for Hikari when she remembered Hikari said she would come. Shion’s still wondering what happened to Hikari, Kaname and Momomi. Little did she know Hikari had been cornered by Kaname and Momomi. Yaya went in search of Hikari in the meeting place and saw the crushed letter on the ground.

While running away, Hikari tripped and fell, scrapping her knees and laid on the ground unable to move giving a chance for Kaname and Momomi to catch up. Preparing to leave, Amane’s mind kept refreshing to Hikari. Meanwhile, Yaya told Nagisa and Tamao about Hikari’s disappearance and they split to search. Kaname forced herself on Hikari and like all villains do, they talk way too much with little action LOL. Kaname seemed confident in herself, saying that her love’s the greatest and soon, Hikari will forget all about Amane. Terrified, Hikari screamed. Nagisa, Tamao, Yaya, Amane and Star Bride all heard Hikari’s scream. Getting off the bus, Amane got on Star Bright and went after Hikari. Hikari’s still struggling against Kaname while Momomi’s looking on. Nagisa was running towards Hikari and saw Amane on Star Bright going the same direction too. Hikari stopped struggling and as Kaname’s about to ‘give her love’ lol, Amane arrived. Hikari magically got up and ran behind Amane. Amane demanded an answer, Kaname shrugged and replied that they’re lovers. Amane looked at Hikari for confirmation but found rejection instead. Kaname knew she had lost and retreated, telling Amane to put a collar on Hikari if she’s afraid of her stealing Hikari away.

Momomi had hidden behind a tree trunk and went off unnoticed. After Kaname left, Amane asked if Hikari’s alright and told her to be wary of people because Hikari’s kawaii [Cute] after all. Hikari blushed and told this chance to give her present to Amane. Amane gladly accepted the present, opened it to reveal a yellow scarf and wore it around her neck on the spot. Nagisa, Tamao and Yaya looked at them behind the bushes. Yaya looked happy but at the same time anguished. That night, back in the dorm, Kaname’s feeling down that her plan had failed. Momomi whispered behind Kaname’s ears to take down the flower [Hikari] herself as bees have stings too and moreover it’s poisonous. Having said that, Momomi tipped Kaname’s chin up, proceeded to stick her digits in her mouth while licking her neck and later pulling Kaname backwards on the bed, giggling. [=O] Hikari’s asleep but that didn’t stop her from dreaming and whispering Amane’s name. Similarly, Amane who was on the bus to the tournament was thinking about Hikari too. - END -


Boy, this took longer than I thought lol. Hm, anyways my thoughts of Ep7? ABSOLUTELY WICKED! LoL. I love how Kaname and Momomi complement each other in their little evil plan. Hmm, really bold with the implied girlxgirl sex. We were treated to an aggressive Kaname and shy Momomi at first but in the end, Momomi got back at Kaname, so who’s the Uke and Seme? LoL. Everyone’s been comparing the similarities in Strawberry Panic! with Maria-sama ga Miteru from Ep1 and Kannazuki no Miko after this episode. Well, I’m not going to say what’s and where’s bad but I find it really amusing to see the same thing applied on different characters haha. But Ep7’s really cool with the ‘Read between the lines’ meaning, play of words ‘Drink all the water you want’ LOL I almost choked on my water, the metaphors Kaname used and the bee-flower-honey thing going on lol. Very interesting, Strawberry Panic! is not only about fan service after all.

Now let’s go on to the Amane x Hikari x Yaya love triangle, Yaya’s really playing the encouraging best friend here. Such irony, Yaya could advice Hikari to communicate the feelings across but would Yaya be able to do that? All the time, Yaya was behind the scenes, encouraging Hikari to pursue Amane and at the same time bringing much grief to herself. I almost cried at the scene where Yaya was looking on at the happiness of Hikari and Amane. She looked so tortured, so pained and yet so giving at the same time. Yaya in the anime’s really understanding but in the manga, Yaya’s really more aggressive and suggestive in her actions, taking every opportunity to grope Hikari lol. Great Ep, more Amane x Hikari x Yaya x Tsubomi love triangle please! I really prefer this coupling than others at this moment. Why you ask? First, Shizuma x Nagisa x Tamao x Chiyo, Tamao seems to be a clingy good friend who probably treated Nagisa nothing more than a cute play doll lol. Chiyo’s too shy and probably only admires Nagisa. Besides, Nagisa’s really dense. Shizuma x Nagisa wins hands down but you will never know what will happen next anyways. Hm, Chiharu x Kizuna x Remon x Kagome is quite vague la, nothing much about them in the manga and in the anime, we briefly knew that three of them were in the Transformation club. So I can’t say who will be with who at the moment. Lastly, the St Spica love triangle, with the addition of Tsubomi, it’s just more fun with a cute kouhai [Junior] for Yaya to make fun of haha. Amane x Hikari? Yaya x Hikari? You make the decision. I'm rooting for Amane x Hikari though XD.

Next Ep’s about SUMMER UNIFORMS! AHHHH! LoL. And probably a little of Kagome from St Lulim?

Art: 7/10 [I still prefer the Manga art]
Story: 8/10 [More evil plots~]
Characters: 8/10 [Evil Lesbians™]
Overall: 8/10

Alrighty, I’ll probably work on some manga chapter reviews or doujinshi tomorrow.

   School Rumble Ni Gakki Ep5
[Posted @ 1:21 PM]
Uh, this time I uh I got uh uh ok here’s School Rumble Ni Gakki Ep5 XD

Alrightly, it’s the first day of the Cultural Festival and also Karasuma’s birthday. Tenma baked a cake [After practicing for a long time] specially for Karasuma and Yakumo offered to hold on to it till the surprise party.

P.E teacher, Kouriyama-sensei patronized 2-C’s Café Rumble and was shocked to see the setting similar to a hostess club lol. He was even given a ‘menu’ with pictures of girls and asked to pick and choose lol. Anyways, Tenma didn’t get any customers and was feeling pretty depressed lol. But Akira, aka Mama/Mamasan encouraged her, giving her advices and told her not to give up lol. Meanwhile, the boys of 2-C were cooking behind the scenes and was interrupted when Suga rushed in and announced that their business had been taken away by the Tea Club’s café. Nara was sent to be the scout to check up on Tea Club’s café, but he never made it back as he was treated to a scene of Itoko-sensei in a maid costume LOL! Hanai’s grumbling about Nara’s lateness, volunteered to go and even said he might not make it back as Yakumo’s in the Tea Club. True to his words, as he opened the door, saw Yakumo in a police costume and began cosplaying as the Chief Inspector LOL! At the same time, Tenma’s popular with the kids acting as Dojibiron Pink lol DUWA!

Harima was made to wash the dishes when he couldn’t pay for the ‘service’ and wondered when the Manga competition results were coming out and assumed he probably didn’t made it. Yakumo overheard it and probably wanted to help him up. [LoL, I love the part where Sara was cosplaying as a nun lol freaking hilarious] Itoko-sensei appeared behind Harima and told him that a ‘sensei’ waiting for him at the backroom. The ‘sensei’ turned out to be Yakumo and Harima suddenly realized that he’s in the Tokiha-sou aka the Holy Land of Manga [Tokiha-sou is an apartment where many manga authors who later became famous, lived.] So they got on to work and began engaging in conversation. Harima said that he hadn’t been drawing lately, when Yakumo asked why, he replied that something in him just burnt out. Harima asked Yakumo what motivated her to keep on drawing. Yakumo told Harima that she wants to see the children and the people around her happy and encouraged Harima not to give up and continue drawing. They were interrupted by Hanai’s shouting for Yakumo outside, it appeared that Yakumo’s wearing Hanai’s spectacles lol. Harima assured that he’s fine and told Yakumo to go to Hanai. A while later, Yakumo returned only to find Harima gone and Harima seemed to have regained his fighting spirit again. Harima got a call and was informed that he won the newcomer Manga competition award and Eri’s butler, Nakamura was accepting the award on his behalf at the ceremony lol.


Harima was filled with joy as the day he would be recognized as a man and a manga artist had come and decided to share the happy news with Yakumo. The guys in 2-C were depressed as there’s no business for them and the girls were gone. Harima suggested that they take matters into their own hands and become hosts themselves lol but failed. The girls returned from shopping for a party to celebrate the success. Tenma went to pick up her cake from Yakumo and happened to see Yakumo making a cake for Harima and Tenma as usual mistook it for something else lol. Anyways Tenma took the two cakes to their class and placed her cake for Karasuma on a cart outside the classroom and entered the classroom with the cake for Harima. Harima tried to catch up with Tenma but tripped on the cart and toppled the cake. Harima presumed that the cake was for him as his name had the last two letters ‘MA’. [KarasuMA too lol] Harima then tried to fix it up.

In class, everyone cheered for doing a good job in the cultural festival. Fuyuki began his announcement for a great news. Harima thought it’s about him but no, it’s Karasuma’s birthday! Harima then realized his mistake lol. To cover up his mistake, Harima pretended to trip and fall onto the cake but it turned out to be Yoshidayama’s swimsuit sumo championship cake LOL! Tenma then presented Harima the cake Yakumo made and congratulated him. Harima then sat in a corner happily eating the cake he thought Tenma made for him. Harima even gave a little morsel to Yoshidayama to show how sorry he was lol. Tenma looked pleased at Harima’s happy face and went out to get the cake she made for Karasuma. But to her horror, the name on the cake was ‘Harima’! Tenma tried to fix the problem by cutting out a circle, hence taking out the ‘HARI’ out of the cake and presenting Karasuma with the rest. Tenma then proceed to eat the ‘HARI’ part of the cake and covered it up saying that she likes cakes lol.


After the celebration, Tenma was sitting on the stairs, crying to herself and thought to herself that Karasuma must hate her now. Karasuma appeared before her and noticed the photo Tenma was holding. Tenma explained that Karasuma told her before that he couldn’t express himself well but in that photo, Tenma thought that Karasuma could so she wanted to show it to him. Karasuma smiled briefly, thanked Tenma and they walked home together.

Side story, Harima’s brother, Shuuji came to the cultural festival and his friend, Mio tagged along. Mio said that Shuuji had come to the cultural festival to find Tsukamoto, not his brother. Pissed, Shuuji ran off. Walking on her own, Mio mistaken Tenma who was coplaying as Dojibiron Pink for the ‘Tsukamoto’ Shuuji admired. Lost in her thoughts about the taste of Shuuji, Mio fell down a flight of stairs and tore her skirt. Hanai happened to walk pass and offered to help her but was scaring the wits outta of Mio more lol. Yakumo diverted Hanai’s attention and helped Mio stitched up the torn skirt. Looking closer, Mio realized that Yakumo’s really beautiful and asked Yakumo if she had been ever worried over someone she liked. Mio then told Yakumo about her feelings for Shuuji and began crying. Yakumo cleaned up Mio’s tears and told her not to cry as it would trouble the boy she liked. Yakumo continued that although she doesn’t have anyone she likes now but when she does, she would want to always smile at him. Shuuji finally found Mio and was worried sick looking for her, this made Mio happy. By the way, Mio’s the little sister of Tennouji and Shuuji the brother of Harima. Meanwhile, at the Tea Club’s café, both the older brothers were punished for not being able to pay lol. - END –

I love the part where Akira pretended to be the Mamasan and the setting to be like a kinda real brothel/hostess haha, and the cosplay lol. A really very entertaining episode. Oh the Tenma x Karasuma thingy seemed to be going pretty well.

Art: 8/10
Story: 7.5/10 [Yakumo~]
Characters: 7/10
Overall: 7.5/10

Ok, off to tackle Strawberry Panic! Ep7 =O

   Tours Mai Hime Volume 4 Doujinshi Page 21,22
[Posted @ 10:24 PM]
Warning: A little nudity [Like that's gonna stop you], hot kiss [Oh yeah] and implied girlxgirl sex [Jaws dropping!]. If your parent's sitting beside you, bookmark this page for a later time. [Psst, when your parent's gone, duh.]

Fine, i got lazy again. Anyone complaining about this post? Anyways, in case you didn't see the tagboard, I updated the [Manga] Strawberry Panic! Chapter 8 post, click here if you're lazy lol. Oh, I've uploaded larger and clearer scans of the pages from Chapter 8 ... so enjoy! I'll be posting the earlier chapters soon ... well if i don't get lazy.

Disclaimer:

I DO NOT TRANSLATE STUFF FROM JAPANESE TO ENGLISH.

I do however refer to the RAW [Japanese] version sometimes when translating to kind of double check and make it more 'Real' cos i like it lol.

I do not scan doujinshis, so i don't claim credit for it, i got the scans from Tokyo Toshokan, a torrent listing place so, please do not ask me where i purchase or scan the doujinshi.

I do not draw doujinshis, i'm not that artistic =). So i don't claim credit for doujinshi images/pages in this post. I would had clearly stated the author of the doujinshi so go search for him/her/them.

The reason why i had added my blog URL in the pages is cos ... well, i translated the darn thing from Mandarin to English afterall!

Click on the pictures and out pops a window with a bigger, clearer dimension.

Please do not hotlink on forums, just paste my blog url and direct them to the Manga Page section, thanks.



Phew, two more pages to go ... well actually just one page, the last page's author's ramblings with a nice, cute ShizNat interaction.

So to sum it up, in Page 21, Natsuki's thinking that the Shizuru she knew a year ago would not do that puppy face thing, that child-like expression and stuff. The Shizuru she knew was the calm, collected and cool Seitokai Kaichou [Student Council President]. Natsuki didn't dislike it but finds it cute. [I do too!!! XD]

In Page 22, Natsuki feels bad for making Shizuru wait so long to return Shizuru's feelings back. How will Shizuru react?

Alright, I'm downloading Strawberry Panic! Ep7 right now ... it's slow ... so it'll be done probably late in the night. Anyways, I saw the screenshots of Ep7 ... it was totally wicked! LOL. K, await Ep7 tomorrow cya.

   [MTV] Tonight, I Feel Close To You by Stefanie Sun And Kuraki Mai
[Posted @ 11:30 PM]
I was arranging my YanZi albums yesterday then i got this indescribable feeling to want to listen to all YanZi 9 albums CDs again ... then when i reached YanZi's 7th album, The Moment Zhe Yi Ke, ahhh, sooo touching that i cried when she sung it. I remembered the time at Sun Plaza, Sembawang, i had to fight with my teeth and bones to get YanZi to autograph my album LOL. I was the last few to get YanZi to sign before she left. Manz, that was the worst promo, everyone don't care if you queued up or not, they just chiong. So from that day, i learnt to chiong with some morals intact of course. Then YanZi said goodbye to us offically for a 1 year leave but in between she went on those taiwanese variety shows and stuff la.

Anyways, I know it's kinda an 'old' track already, since it debuted on 2003 i think but I still wanna introduce it to you. As you can see from the subject, the title is 'Tonight, I Feel Close To You', the last track in the Second CD of The Moment [The Moment Zhe Yi Ke] album. It is A duet by Singaporean Singer Stefanie Sun and Japanese Singer, Kuraki Mai. From what I used to research, Kuraki Mai's a pretty famous J-Pop singer and had been compared to Utada Hikaru. This is not the first time they had sung a song together, the first track they sung together was 'My Story Your Song' in YanZi 6th album To Be Continued [Wei Wan Cheng]. As for that track, it's pretty country-ish and if i'm not wrong, YanZi composed that track herself XD.

Tonight, I Feel Close To You ;

Close my eyes and feel your mind
Time has passed
I walk like a shadow
Never knew
What I am going through
You touch my heart and take my breath away

Whisper on the wind so softly
Let the bright stars fill our dreams with love
Reach for your hand [You're holding my key]
And you show me the way

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
I wish we could stay forever as one

All the tears that haunt my past
You promised
It'll be better tomorrow
Play that song
You and I listened to
And let it gently ease our pain

Tender rain drops from the blue sky
Flowers blooming, life is so divine
Like sunlight on a stream [You're holding my key]
You show the world to me

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one

So much love in this beautiful world
Search for the brightest star in the sky
You will find the meaning of love
Don't be afraid [Don't be afraid], just be yourself [Just be yourself]
We need this love, I've never knew

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one

Tonight, I feel close to you
You open my door and light the sky above
When I need a friend, you are there right by my side
I wish we could stay as one
I wish we could stay forever as one

If you want to view the MTV online on youtube, click here.

I love this song, i think i replayed it 20 over times lol just now. I don't know why, maybe the lyrics moved me haha XD. Especially the chrous, 'Tonight, I feel close to you' 'You open my door and light the sky above' 'When I need a friend, you are there right by my side' 'I wish we could stay as one' 'I wish we could stay forever as one' Ahhh, forever as one, with you, tonight ... it's like lol making love with your lover then become one with him/her, if you get my drift. XD. Uh, but i think they're promoting friendship ... ahh, pardon my pervertic mind ... i was reading smut just now ... oops. LOL.

Anyways, probably School Rumble Ni Gakki Ep5 tomorrow, i've been procrastinating for way too long.

Then the VIP was the MP of Ang Mo Kio GRC, Ms Lee Bee Wah and others ... i don't know their names because it's not stated on the banner on stage LOL. We were treated with some performance and stuff, our tables were 13, 14 and 15.

   20 Things You Don't Know About Me
[Posted 5:00 PM]
I seriously am BORED and LAZY to do any more stuff. Anyways.

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!!

We're going to some CC later to celebrate Mothers' Day XD ... Anyways, on to the subject, 20 Things You Don't Know About Me,

20. In case you don't know, I'm a Kampong Girl.
19. The time i started cheating really hard in spelling tests and exams was when i was Primary 5 and 6.
18. However, i never cheated when i was in kindergarden even though i was accused to be.
17. I was spanked by a teacher on the palm in front of the class when i was Primary 2 for leaving the classroom without permission.
16. From then, i swore to myself to never grow up to be a teacher.
15. I forged my mother's signature not once, not twice but around 5-6 times when i failed my spelling tests in primary school.
14. I was caught, sent out of my house 4-5 times lol.
13. I tried to leave home once because of that. [Li Jia Chu Zou]
12. But i turned back home when i reached the main road.
11. I killed a chicken with my bare hands by throwing it, saw it choked, coughing out blood and slowly died.
10. I cried after that, learnt that life is so fragile and cursed myself that my death will be the same as the chicken.
9. I dunno how i did it but when my friend in primary school had her first period, i was the one who guided her, comforted her in the toilet and asked her to go home when i haven't even had my first menstruation. [A woman's intuition?]
8. The first crush i had was a girl. [She's really cool. I think she joined Miss Singapore Universe once heh.]
7. The first guy crush i had was a BIG jerk. [Till now i still regret it, i don't know what the freak i saw in him. Ok, maybe because he's handsome.]
6. I tried to kill myself once by slitting my wrist because i was depressed.
5. I didn't do it, because i'm a coward.
4. I used to like Fann Wong.
3. Now i don't, in fact, i hate her lol.
2. I don't think i'm capable of loving another person because i'm too selfish.
1. I have a split personality.

LoL, it's fun. Maybe i should do this kinda stuff more.

   Tours Mai Hime Volume 4 Doujinshi Page 19,20
[Posted @ 6:39 PM]
I cannot control myself any longer, I really really want you so badly. *Pounce*

Disclaimer:

I DO NOT TRANSLATE STUFF FROM JAPANESE TO ENGLISH.

I do however refer to the RAW [Japanese] version sometimes when translating to kind of double check and make it more 'Real' cos i like it lol.

I do not scan doujinshis, so i don't claim credit for it, i got the scans from Tokyo Toshokan, a torrent listing place so, please do not ask me where i purchase or scan the doujinshi.

I do not draw doujinshis, i'm not that artistic =). So i don't claim credit for doujinshi images/pages in this post. I would had clearly stated the author of the doujinshi so go search for him/her/them.

The reason why i had added my blog URL in the pages is cos ... well, i translated the darn thing from Mandarin to English afterall!

Click on the pictures and out pops a window with a bigger, clearer dimension.

Please do not hotlink on forums, just paste my blog url and direct them to the Manga Page section, thanks.



=O, Natsuki gives in.

Anyways, did you guys watch the YanZi Hong Kong Concert Special Telecast on TV at 2.30 PM, Channel 8 just now? I did for the first 30mins until the stupid rain and thunder came along. I was like switching on the house power then black out again for around 6-7 times before i cried bloody murder and started cursing the sky, thunder, god and everything lol. In the end, the last part i saw was YanZi singing 'Green Light' before i gave up and started my beautiful string of curses again lol. Sigh. Then i realized, i could buy the DVD and watch a million times and noone will be there to stop me MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'M HAVING THE LAST LAUGH NOW MUAHAHAHAHAHA FREAKING IDIOT THUNDER!

   How To Bake Handmade Cereal Chocolate Chip Cookies
[Posted @ 9:45 PM]
Alright then everyone, round up round up. Here's my brother's version of handmade cereal chocolate chip cookies. I don't know how he did it, he didn't even use any measuring cup or whatever crap lol. Use a good old spoon and some common uh i mean six sense.

First, you preheat the oven, depends on how long you take to do the whole process la, usually 20-30mins lor. Next, 4-5 tablespoon of flour, 1/6 of a butter block [To your liking, how buttery you want] then you mix it.




Add in 2 1/2 tablespoon of cereal, 1/8 tablespoon of baking powder, 3 tablespoon of brown sugar. Then mix.




Add vanilla essence in an egg, then mix it up before you pour in the mixture. [Why add vanilla essence in the egg and not in the mixture? It's because vanilla essence is alcohol based, so it's better to add in the egg than in the flour mixture.] Then continue mixing it up till it becomes a nice dough.




Chop some unbaked chocolate bars or any chocolate bars, after breaking it into chunks, mix it up with the dough. After that, roll them into balls [Depends on how big you would like it to be] then use a metal spoon to flatten into nice flat circles.




Put it in the oven for usually 15-20mins, check it often so that it won't get burnt. When it's nice and golden brown, take it out and place them on a cooling rack when the cookies to turn cool. Then you can just eat it or store them in a air-tight container for a day before you eat it.

I think that's all. Hmm. Oh Chuz said if you want some crunchiness, you can crush some almonds in too. If you want it to be chocolaty flavoured, add in some cocoa powder inside so that it'll turn into a chocolate colour and taste like chocolate la.

Oh a little side tracked tip, Chuz made cheese salmon for dinner just now, yum yum, there's no fish after taste because he said he added wine inside. When i asked him how did he know, he merely replied, 'Those chefs on cooking programmes always do that mahz.' LoL.

I'm proud to have a brother who likes baking and cooking lol. Well cya.
