semester break at long last
Sunday, 10 May 2015 @ 11:17 pm


{i enjoy my music and my singles are here}

i am on semester break and this feels wonderful. i managed to slay my final research paper with good marks, and almost have full marks on my only final paper with professor trautner (a.k.a. favourite sociology professor of all time). semester break is good so far, not so much on writing my fic debts yet tho.

i am not sure if i'm ready for summer semester.

on the side note, the family has been enjoying watching izombie. interesting in a sense, i don't know how long i will follow it. it would be good if i can at least have the devotion to it like i have with marvel's agents of shield.

much feels. summer 3 hello.
Sunday, 6 July 2014 @ 9:48 pm



and i'm back from our chalet! that was me trying to convince people that i'm not running away from home (not that there's actually a backpack with my laptop behind me so......). chalet was fun and filled with sob i have no regrets. and kinda just didnt sleep for 24hrs, which i'd probably never do again.

side note that i also went to watch K: Missing Kings with laikuew and isabel and we shall not spoil but gdi NOT OKAY. gonna see how they are gonna continue from that point on because i demand that they continue it.

and i've been back into the hsj fandom recently and just, i have a lot of feels for yutoyama rn. that and yamada's going to be in the movie "Grasshopper" and he's gonna be "Cicada" and i'm totally gungho for it rn. he is perfect for that role and i'm not even complaining. and i'm really looking forward to how he's going to pull that role off. that and i've read parts of the manga and it's spin-off and i really love it (meaning that there's not much scanlation so i'm gonna get the whole bloody series because it's worth splurging for, both the manga, the character and yamada ryosuke).

and so that's all i did for my break between summer 1 and summer 3. and summer 3 is starting tomorrow. do you see how not ready i am rn.

good bye summer1, hello to well earned week of rest
Tuesday, 1 July 2014 @ 12:17 am



and i am done with the first half of my summer semester! that is half a semester closer to becoming a year 2. and so i'm done with biopsychology's finals and we can only hope that i can pass this module so i wouldnt have to take it again. the only reason why i wore a dress for paper today was to increase my mood for the paper (just so i wouldnt be depressed). riko's logic for examination.

anyway what's over is over.

on the side note, pretty happy with fandom right now. can't believe i'm back on the roll in Hey! Say! JUMP fandom, and i'm loving them even more right now i wanna cry. basically started with having yutoyama fic exchange feels, since i participated and am one of the moderators. and then we had fic feels. and i managed to pull laikuew into fandom with fics and spammed her. no regrets. had a really fun time doing this tho, and i am going back into writing. look at how rusty my writing skills are right now.

on the side note, we all have pacific rim/AU feels now and i cannot.

CHALET ON FRIDAY AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SPEND CRAZY TIME TO MARATHON SHOWS WITH AWESOME PEOPLE I LOVE FROM UNIVERSITY. and then go and watch K: Missing Kings on Saturday.

this week will be a blast (and summer anime too~).

first day of summer semester
Tuesday, 27 May 2014 @ 11:54 pm



and so summer semester has started. had the first lesson of biopsychology, and it isnt that bad (yet). i do think our professor is pretty anal about some stuffs but i really like how he lectures and he makes stuffs really easy to be understood (tho i really need to catch up with scientific terms). there is a need to stop slacking and start reading up on the textbook as well since i do believe it's going to be gone through really quickly. and bless, there isnt any group work for this module and i love it. no group work = not raging at group mates.

on the side note, i'm addicted to the series "coppelion" and this is not good. i have tons of feels for all coppelions and i am in love with the third years a whole lot.

birthday
Saturday, 11 January 2014 @ 1:18 pm



excuse me but here's birthday being amazingly hot in hamatora (yes his name is birthday). watched it last night and i'm excited for monday to come for the next episode of hamatora already. the colours are really pretty and dynamic, and will the characters are really nicely designed tbh. nice was good, tho he reminds me of aoba from DMMd wwwww (which led to me demanding crossovers of hamatora/dmmd in fanarts).

can i continue to be a hikkikomi? not exactly a NEET now since i am in education. and gahh, CNY is approaching, mental note to seriously pack up my stuffs or dad will be nagging i swear. urgh this is the part where i hate about CNY.

this post is done just simply to use that gif of birthday being so badass and smexy.

fourth week and counting!
Monday, 16 September 2013 @ 10:23 pm



well week four of university life and all is still nice ... still. i'm pretty comfortable with my classes now, and someone i am still doing my stuffs on time which, in my opinion, is amazing because i would've usually lapse into lazy mode by now. but somehow i'm not getting enough sleep even if i think that i sleep a lot. i guess it all owes to me waking up really early just to get to school on time (hey i mean ... 5:30am in the morning isnt really the best time to wake up comfortably).

i've met nice people and well yes nice. others arent exactly nice but i still have to deal with them so ... deal with it. but really, wearing home clothes to school everyday is a drag. i generally just throw on what i grab early in the morning now, which is disaster and repetition (not that i care a lot most of the times). i'm also gonna take a moment and appreciate that i've finally watched Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (first two episodes) like after years because mum insists that i wait for the whole family to watch it (because it's one of the animes that the whole family watched together before).

anyway can i also take a moment to cry over magi. because omfg magi. sensei you do not just do this to us every week. i REALLY need to go down to kinokuniya soon omfg i miss the bloody place. i need my mangas and magazines.

first day of class
Monday, 26 August 2013 @ 10:25 pm



the moment when you enter your first class in university and you hear Naruto's first opening (ROCKS by Hound Dog) playing and you actually have to check if you're in the correct class while trying not to sing the whole song out loud. that is generally what actually happened for my first class in university. like can you imagine stepping into class and suddenly ROCKS was playing ("COME ON!!!! WOAH OH WU WOAH OHHHHH~").

class was fun and pretty much nice for now i guess? that's only one mod tho. tomorrow's three other mods (which is philosophy, psychology and music. good luck self). i should join the anime and gaming club because.

bunk bed, rl, and more
Wednesday, 14 August 2013 @ 10:56 pm



our ohime-sama bunk bed has arrived! it's pretty and all, but didnt exactly get a good night's sleep with it because i have a new mattress and it stinks of new mattress (please excuse me i have no idea how to explain it). but i'm still pretty hyped up about it and i've laughed so much at my brother because of the new bed (he prompt dropped his phone once he was up at his bunk and talking about 'what if' his pillows and stuffs drop, the irony).

on the other hand, school's gonna start soon. orientation will be next week and i'm really nervous about it. i'm sure that i will never be ready or prepared for stuffs like meeting new people and orientation for life but well, life is full of surprises anyway so i will never get use to these. i'm really just very bad with these stuffs and all these nervousness makes my stomach upset and just /curls up/. i really need to be more sociable and stuffs. it'd be nice if i can find people who like the same stuffs as me, it would be really nice really.

i'll just pin fandom badges on my bag then /sobs/. i'm hopeless (as always).

i'm waiting for better exchange rates of rmb before i buy my wig for kougyoku's cosplay (or so said-cosplay is just a school-themed magi cosplay with mero jiji). moneh doko?

i am probably still very far from going back to fangirling over actual people (banzai to 2D characters).

Labels: , , ,

blah blah blah
Monday, 12 August 2013 @ 12:25 am



school is about to start (like probably in a week, yeap). i still have no idea what is orientation is about, like all the groups and stuffs, gdi how am i suppose to pack my stuffs, and i'm kinda reluctant i guess? i'm just really bad with new environments.

oh yes, i've added this player on my blog for the lulz \o/ the playlist can be seen with a click at the top right corner so yeah. utaites and vocaloids ftw. i dont wanna get out of my hikkikomi lifestyle but no society hates me so yes i need to get back into society, no matter how much i dont like it and awkward with people. so yes i need to adapt to going out. yes just going out. and probably priorities fashion stuffs instead of fashion magazines and mangas and more (which are still my priorities now).

we are going to have a new bed soon! which we dub as the princess bunk bed, which is gonna be for my brother and i (he can be a princess if he wants okay). he'd be at the top bunk while i'd be at the bottom and i have no complaints (because i am scared of heights and i get to have tiny shelves for my mangas and books).

have i mentioned that i've moved to a new laptop (which i'm naming him 'kao-tan' because i can)? dad toasted my old internal hard disk ... so i have limited space now, even with two 500GB external hard disk (yes i know) so welp.

calm before the storm, or sort of
Thursday, 25 July 2013 @ 11:43 pm



currently i'm just floating around my life until university starts (waiting for the email with more information so yes). not exactly floating per say, i did help my dad with his work. and then cook lunch for my brother almost everyday. and ... marathon animes.

the most recent one that i'm done with (or so-called done because i abandoned the last two episodes due to sad feels) was Neon Genesis Evagelion. It should be called a classic when on think about animes I guess (well much like Gundam since it's one of the more popular mecha animes). the plot was interesting with a lot of backstories to the characters and you cant really hate the protagonist from being all whiny because he's pretty much a victim afterall. i'm not that keen on watching the rebuild films tho, because i'm not ready for another round of heartbreak (and i think it's much worst in the films).

one thing about university that i look forward to would be starting to get back into society, because yes we all know that i've been pulled back from society for too long. i'm not sure how i'd fare for the orientation, i'm not having high hopes for myself but i'll do my best in interacting and hopefully making friends. if time allows, i'll try getting a part-time job as well on days that i don't have to study (not sure if there would be tho). i have mixed emotions about university now.

some updates and useless flails
Thursday, 23 May 2013 @ 6:36 pm



a few more days (a week actually) before i'm off to taiwan! with my family tho, but i'm looking forward to it since it's been a long time since we've traveled that far (the last time was easily five years back). well there's still the aim to travel with my friends (esp. yanhan), even if it's to malaysia it would be good (tho both of us are obsessed with korea and japan). well that's the happier news that's happening recently in RL.

on the not-so-nice side, time for appeal and stuffs. dad actually suggested that i wait for clemens's (my eldest cousin) ROD and go over to australia to study together and just work until then. that was actually very appealing, but no mum decided that i should try every means to remain in singapore so yes. i was thinking about just working this year to be honest. i mean, i would like to have more time. oh well, we'll just see what comes.

and so i continue my neet/hikki life. oh fandom-wise, i'm highly addicted to Jafar from Magi. here's my precious baby.
jafar from magi
(fanart by pixiv artist)

ain't my baby pretty? i love him so much that i kept tweeting about him, causing mero jiji to dream about raining jafars (gomenacchai jiji!). well, thank you jiji too because she help me to get my jafar eyemask, which was apparently the last piece on amiami. anyway, jafar here is a professional assassin at the age of ten. yes i love him. my favourite character throughout the series.

apart from that, i've covered yi er fanclub with mero jiji (shamelessly links it over here)! well we had fun and mero jiji's presh. excuse me if we (more of me) destroyed your eardrums. i am five y/o because of my voice (esp when i sing, i dont even know why). well, once mint was playing one of my covers and her mum came in and said "her voice is so tiny", and mint said that i was five y/o. and her mum went "no wonder". yes i can pass of as five y/o with my voice.

i'm just trying to fill up this post with as much insignificant stuffs. oh i had pancakes for lunch (i made them) and played gundam on xbox360 with my brother. I ONLY KNOW KIRA. AND I CAN ONLY USE STRIKE FREEDOM, DEAL WITH IT.

oh talking about fandom, JUMP is releasing Come on a My House in June! their first single this year~ i've already pre-ordered my copies, no regrets (even if i have to wait for more than a month for them to come, as of now).

riko's mission in taiwan:
☆ buy clothes
☆ take tons of photos
☆ hunt for cosplay stuffs if possible
☆ hunt for light novels that are in chinese and doujinshis
☆ generally hunt for fandom stuffs
☆ get masks
☆ raid 7/11 and watsons

laifu of a NEET
Monday, 15 April 2013 @ 8:28 pm



and i'm back to the life of a NEET (not in employment, education or training) because my temporary job has ended today. it wasn't exactly a long period of time, nor was it particularly short. i've managed to know a group of amusing friends at least, even though there are stuffs (or staffs) that pissed us off, but nevertheless my workmates made everything endurable.

on the side note, there still isn't any news about my university application. if the worst comes, i'm either registering for SIM or shipping myself to Australia. well, we still aren't sure yet so let's continue waiting (though the wait is killing me tbh).

fandom-wise, i missed my chance to see AKB48 because of work. but i've ordered my copy of nico nico wonderland and iris! will be waiting for it to be shipped to me once nico nico wonderland is released. also i'm gonna start going back to playing the piano for fun, and so i've printed the scores for 'Matroyshka' and 'E? Aa, sou' for now (and i just realised how fast i would need to play it gdi).

YANHAN AND I ARE IN A CONTEST. well the bioessence celebrity choice challenge. good luck to us then /cackles/

on the side note; i wanna watch more animes (going back to otaku mode because RL and JE fandom makes me all stress). oh yes, and yutoyama. whut otp whut?

J's Journey
Sunday, 24 February 2013 @ 1:55 pm



This is like my favourite photo from takachii's J's Journey in France. finally finishing it after so long makes me feel so empty like, gosh woah. generally an emotional investment whenever JUMP is involved anyway. was finishing this up at my cousin's house and i think my relatives were kind of surprised that i'm just watching a Japanese travel show (or should this be like a challenge show? i dont even know) without subtitles. well, i like to watch them without subs now tbh, and one thing helpful about J's Journey is that they do write Japanese subtitles at some points so i just read the Japanese ones instead /cackles/

i will just find something else to amuse myself now while i'm at my cousin's house.

on the side note, my results are coming out soon /screams in terror/ oh well, may i get into the Faculty of Arts and Social Science. that's probably the only thing i want. hopefully i actually do do well enough to get somewhere in a university, that's probably what all it matters now.

also when it comes to March, only a few more days before the JE calendars are released (tentative release date: 9th March)! and well, after that would be April (okamori month!) and Karneval's anime would be out asdfghjkl.

oh i need to go down to kinokuniya and get April's issue of Myojo because it's precious. good thing i have income coming in for another month ... welp

Labels: , , ,

magazines and photos and work
Wednesday, 20 February 2013 @ 10:21 pm



No regrets for my ship. 
I have been buying tons of magazines because of them tbh. Well, Myojo and Seventeen are magazines that i almost literally buy every month now (since i am working). but i got Duet and Wink Up recently. no regrets tho. oh and i've pre-ordered JUMP and Johnny's Jr (+SZ and A.B.C.-Z and Yuma)'s calendar (good bye okane)!

well, no regrets. i can only do this now because i am working. so i'm indulging (a lot) in fandom. anyway i love pretty photos and pretty/handsome people so yes, magazines satisfy that. and well it's also a form of giving back to them i guess. because their work makes me smile so i support them. and it makes life more fun because they are in it.

gosh they are so precious to me okay.

anyway my job at NTUC Income is going to end next month! and results are coming out (cues in horror and screams). well, we'll just see how things go then. another little note would be that i would probably be working at John Little's Expo sales in April, so do say hi if you see me when you are there /cackles/

i should post more

Mystery Virgin
Tuesday, 8 January 2013 @ 11:22 pm



First Solo Single, Mystery Virgin, theme song from 'Kindaichi SP' is now officially released in Japan! Congrats Yamada Ryo(ko)suke (you will forever by my princess)!

One does not simply exist to be so flawless and pretty. I've pre-ordered all version of his single (LE A, LE B, RE and NTV LE /sobs) and well, i'm waiting for it to reach Melo sensei's hands. She'll be passing the three copies (minus NTV) along with my Yamada Clearfile i'm going to buy over from her (and well, some yutoyama stuffs she wants to give away).

recently i'm starting to go back to slapping skincare products onto my face because of ryoko-hime (i mean, he did mask with yuto and idk his skin's flawless. just look). and so here i am trying to summon my otome side. seems to be working, i feel prettier. maybe sleeping early will help but being a fangirl is like "WHAT IS SLEEP?" so yes.

first pay is in and it feels good. i'll be preparing presents and well, treating my family to dinner i guess. and also spending money for my JUMP Calendar i've pre-ordered awhile back (yay!) and magazines. opps?

Sunday, 25 November 2012 @ 1:08 am


ONE MORE PAPER TILL THE END OF A LEVELS

feels feels feels feels feels feels feels feels feels feels. FEELS.

so I would be going to camp on thrusday, coming back on friday and then going off to malaysia on saturday and back on sunday \o/ life after A levels would be sweet, or at least until the results are released /creys

anyway i'm trying to play otome games now (read as: japanese dating games for people who are delusional like me. and generally addictive and are visual novels). well I'll continue playing staska since they are all installed properly in my laptop. but for diabolik lovers and brothers conflict ... that's a totally different story because my psp isnt letting me play dialovers and brocon ... okay.

lol, what is prom?

JUMP; the group that changed my life
Monday, 12 November 2012 @ 1:40 am


I have many JUMP feels now, please bear with me (I'd use on with Ryutaro but then ...)

Wasting my time over the past few days watching JUMP's new Concert DVD and it was totally worth it because I was never bored at any point of time during the duration of both discs. The stage set up was amazing and how they managed to make the flow of the concert go so well with each transition of the songs were really amazing. I mean, they kept changing their costumes and suddenly appears with a new one, almost at lightning speed. I'm so proud they've mastered the art of changing costumes.

Of course, I love to see how they dance as usual. May be it's because they have many members because they can make many formations and that intrigues me a lot. My favourite dancers still remains the same, Yamada Ryosuke and Nakajima Yuto (OTP!, well Morimoto Ryutaro too but ...). So yes, the DVD is amazing and they are as dumb and stupid as usual at backstage and I love how they started to abuse their limited knowledge of Chinese in Taipei.

5 more papers left for A levels!
I'll need to find a work after that to earn money and plan for a trip to Japan with Vai (to probably watch JUMP's next concert since we wouldn't be able to catch Johnny's World in January). Anyway I went to AFA 2012 on Saturday, it was worth it. The best booths were at the Creators' Hub because everything was beautiful. The prints and arts there were amazing. Too bad I didnt buy any prints but I bought a stash of badges. I might just cosplay with my brother next year, he has been bugging me for ... idk, years?

I dont feel like sleeping because I want to re-watch JUMP's DVD. Yes, it's that amazing.

(Kichii from Karneval; credits from spooklessrawr

A LEVELS IN 4 DAYS. Kichii's reaction helps to voice out how I feel, a lot.

So the two-weeks study break is coming to an end, I've finished my revision for Chemistry, half of Mathematics, General Paper has already been done since Pre-As and none for Geography and Economics because there's still time for those papers. Well, it seems that I'm still on time for my revision. Someone just stop me from procrastinating.

And because I've procrastinated, I'm addicted to the manga-going-to-be-anime [Karneval].

Lovely storyline with pretty characters, I love the art of the manga covers. Which is why I want the Japanese (a.k.a original) version of the manga. Well, I'll just start buying it from Kinokuniya after As. This is a good motivation yes?

I'm in love with Yogi, I swear. He's so cute.

Damn it, I should just go and work at Kinokuniya and make them pay me in the form of books. Worth it (loljk, I'd use my salary and buy the books tho, so it's the same).

the moment when you enter your first class in university and you hear Naruto's first opening (ROCKS by Hound Dog) playing and you actually have to check if you're in the correct class while trying not to sing the whole song out loud. that is generally what actually happened for my first class in university. like can you imagine stepping into class and suddenly ROCKS was playing ("COME ON!!!! WOAH OH WU WOAH OHHHHH~").

class was fun and pretty much nice for now i guess? that's only one mod tho. tomorrow's three other mods (which is philosophy, psychology and music. good luck self). i should join the anime and gaming club because.

bunk bed, rl, and more
Wednesday, 14 August 2013 @ 10:56 pm



our ohime-sama bunk bed has arrived! it's pretty and all, but didnt exactly get a good night's sleep with it because i have a new mattress and it stinks of new mattress (please excuse me i have no idea how to explain it). but i'm still pretty hyped up about it and i've laughed so much at my brother because of the new bed (he prompt dropped his phone once he was up at his bunk and talking about 'what if' his pillows and stuffs drop, the irony).

on the other hand, school's gonna start soon. orientation will be next week and i'm really nervous about it. i'm sure that i will never be ready or prepared for stuffs like meeting new people and orientation for life but well, life is full of surprises anyway so i will never get use to these. i'm really just very bad with these stuffs and all these nervousness makes my stomach upset and just /curls up/. i really need to be more sociable and stuffs. it'd be nice if i can find people who like the same stuffs as me, it would be really nice really.

i'll just pin fandom badges on my bag then /sobs/. i'm hopeless (as always).

i'm waiting for better exchange rates of rmb before i buy my wig for kougyoku's cosplay (or so said-cosplay is just a school-themed magi cosplay with mero jiji). moneh doko?

i am probably still very far from going back to fangirling over actual people (banzai to 2D characters).

blah blah blah

school is about to start (like probably in a week, yeap). i still have no idea what is orientation is about, like all the groups and stuffs, gdi how am i suppose to pack my stuffs, and i'm kinda reluctant i guess? i'm just really bad with new environments.

oh yes, i've added this player on my blog for the lulz \o/ the playlist can be seen with a click at the top right corner so yeah. utaites and vocaloids ftw. i dont wanna get out of my hikkikomi lifestyle but no society hates me so yes i need to get back into society, no matter how much i dont like it and awkward with people. so yes i need to adapt to going out. yes just going out. and probably priorities fashion stuffs instead of fashion magazines and mangas and more (which are still my priorities now).

we are going to have a new bed soon! which we dub as the princess bunk bed, which is gonna be for my brother and i (he can be a princess if he wants okay). he'd be at the top bunk while i'd be at the bottom and i have no complaints (because i am scared of heights and i get to have tiny shelves for my mangas and books).

have i mentioned that i've moved to a new laptop (which i'm naming him 'kao-tan' because i can)? dad toasted my old internal hard disk ... so i have limited space now, even with two 500GB external hard disk (yes i know) so welp.

calm before the storm, or sort of
Thursday, 25 July 2013 @ 11:43 pm



currently i'm just floating around my life until university starts (waiting for the email with more information so yes). not exactly floating per say, i did help my dad with his work. and then cook lunch for my brother almost everyday. and ... marathon animes.

the most recent one that i'm done with (or so-called done because i abandoned the last two episodes due to sad feels) was Neon Genesis Evagelion. It should be called a classic when on think about animes I guess (well much like Gundam since it's one of the more popular mecha animes). the plot was interesting with a lot of backstories to the characters and you cant really hate the protagonist from being all whiny because he's pretty much a victim afterall. i'm not that keen on watching the rebuild films tho, because i'm not ready for another round of heartbreak (and i think it's much worst in the films).

one thing about university that i look forward to would be starting to get back into society, because yes we all know that i've been pulled back from society for too long. i'm not sure how i'd fare for the orientation, i'm not having high hopes for myself but i'll do my best in interacting and hopefully making friends. if time allows, i'll try getting a part-time job as well on days that i don't have to study (not sure if there would be tho). i have mixed emotions about university now.

some updates and useless flails
Thursday, 23 May 2013 @ 6:36 pm



a few more days (a week actually) before i'm off to taiwan! with my family tho, but i'm looking forward to it since it's been a long time since we've traveled that far (the last time was easily five years back). well there's still the aim to travel with my friends (esp. yanhan), even if it's to malaysia it would be good (tho both of us are obsessed with korea and japan). well that's the happier news that's happening recently in RL.

on the not-so-nice side, time for appeal and stuffs. dad actually suggested that i wait for clemens's (my eldest cousin) ROD and go over to australia to study together and just work until then. that was actually very appealing, but no mum decided that i should try every means to remain in singapore so yes. i was thinking about just working this year to be honest. i mean, i would like to have more time. oh well, we'll just see what comes.

and so i continue my neet/hikki life. oh fandom-wise, i'm highly addicted to Jafar from Magi. here's my precious baby.
jafar from magi
(fanart by pixiv artist)

ain't my baby pretty? i love him so much that i kept tweeting about him, causing mero jiji to dream about raining jafars (gomenacchai jiji!). well, thank you jiji too because she help me to get my jafar eyemask, which was apparently the last piece on amiami. anyway, jafar here is a professional assassin at the age of ten. yes i love him. my favourite character throughout the series.

apart from that, i've covered yi er fanclub with mero jiji (shamelessly links it over here)! well we had fun and mero jiji's presh. excuse me if we (more of me) destroyed your eardrums. i am five y/o because of my voice (esp when i sing, i dont even know why). well, once mint was playing one of my covers and her mum came in and said "her voice is so tiny", and mint said that i was five y/o. and her mum went "no wonder". yes i can pass of as five y/o with my voice.

i'm just trying to fill up this post with as much insignificant stuffs. oh i had pancakes for lunch (i made them) and played gundam on xbox360 with my brother. I ONLY KNOW KIRA. AND I CAN ONLY USE STRIKE FREEDOM, DEAL WITH IT.

oh talking about fandom, JUMP is releasing Come on a My House in June! their first single this year~ i've already pre-ordered my copies, no regrets (even if i have to wait for more than a month for them to come, as of now).

riko's mission in taiwan:
☆ buy clothes
☆ take tons of photos
☆ hunt for cosplay stuffs if possible
☆ hunt for light novels that are in chinese and doujinshis
☆ generally hunt for fandom stuffs
☆ get masks
☆ raid 7/11 and watsons

laifu of a NEET
Monday, 15 April 2013 @ 8:28 pm



and i'm back to the life of a NEET (not in employment, education or training) because my temporary job has ended today. it wasn't exactly a long period of time, nor was it particularly short. i've managed to know a group of amusing friends at least, even though there are stuffs (or staffs) that pissed us off, but nevertheless my workmates made everything endurable.

on the side note, there still isn't any news about my university application. if the worst comes, i'm either registering for SIM or shipping myself to Australia. well, we still aren't sure yet so let's continue waiting (though the wait is killing me tbh).

fandom-wise, i missed my chance to see AKB48 because of work. but i've ordered my copy of nico nico wonderland and iris! will be waiting for it to be shipped to me once nico nico wonderland is released. also i'm gonna start going back to playing the piano for fun, and so i've printed the scores for 'Matroyshka' and 'E? Aa, sou' for now (and i just realised how fast i would need to play it gdi).

YANHAN AND I ARE IN A CONTEST. well the bioessence celebrity choice challenge. good luck to us then /cackles/

on the side note; i wanna watch more animes (going back to otaku mode because RL and JE fandom makes me all stress). oh yes, and yutoyama. whut otp whut?

J's Journey
Sunday, 24 February 2013 @ 1:55 pm



This is like my favourite photo from takachii's J's Journey in France. finally finishing it after so long makes me feel so empty like, gosh woah. generally an emotional investment whenever JUMP is involved anyway. was finishing this up at my cousin's house and i think my relatives were kind of surprised that i'm just watching a Japanese travel show (or should this be like a challenge show? i dont even know) without subtitles. well, i like to watch them without subs now tbh, and one thing helpful about J's Journey is that they do write Japanese subtitles at some points so i just read the Japanese ones instead /cackles/

i will just find something else to amuse myself now while i'm at my cousin's house.

on the side note, my results are coming out soon /screams in terror/ oh well, may i get into the Faculty of Arts and Social Science. that's probably the only thing i want. hopefully i actually do do well enough to get somewhere in a university, that's probably what all it matters now.

also when it comes to March, only a few more days before the JE calendars are released (tentative release date: 9th March)! and well, after that would be April (okamori month!) and Karneval's anime would be out asdfghjkl.

oh i need to go down to kinokuniya and get April's issue of Myojo because it's precious. good thing i have income coming in for another month ... welp

magazines and photos and work
Wednesday, 20 February 2013 @ 10:21 pm



No regrets for my ship. 
I have been buying tons of magazines because of them tbh. Well, Myojo and Seventeen are magazines that i almost literally buy every month now (since i am working). but i got Duet and Wink Up recently. no regrets tho. oh and i've pre-ordered JUMP and Johnny's Jr (+SZ and A.B.C.-Z and Yuma)'s calendar (good bye okane)!

well, no regrets. i can only do this now because i am working. so i'm indulging (a lot) in fandom. anyway i love pretty photos and pretty/handsome people so yes, magazines satisfy that. and well it's also a form of giving back to them i guess. because their work makes me smile so i support them. and it makes life more fun because they are in it.

gosh they are so precious to me okay.

anyway my job at NTUC Income is going to end next month! and results are coming out (cues in horror and screams). well, we'll just see how things go then. another little note would be that i would probably be working at John Little's Expo sales in April, so do say hi if you see me when you are there /cackles/

i should post more

Mystery Virgin
Tuesday, 8 January 2013 @ 11:22 pm



First Solo Single, Mystery Virgin, theme song from 'Kindaichi SP' is now officially released in Japan! Congrats Yamada Ryo(ko)suke (you will forever by my princess)!

One does not simply exist to be so flawless and pretty. I've pre-ordered all version of his single (LE A, LE B, RE and NTV LE /sobs) and well, i'm waiting for it to reach Melo sensei's hands. She'll be passing the three copies (minus NTV) along with my Yamada Clearfile i'm going to buy over from her (and well, some yutoyama stuffs she wants to give away).

recently i'm starting to go back to slapping skincare products onto my face because of ryoko-hime (i mean, he did mask with yuto and idk his skin's flawless. just look). and so here i am trying to summon my otome side. seems to be working, i feel prettier. maybe sleeping early will help but being a fangirl is like "WHAT IS SLEEP?" so yes.

first pay is in and it feels good. i'll be preparing presents and well, treating my family to dinner i guess. and also spending money for my JUMP Calendar i've pre-ordered awhile back (yay!) and magazines. opps?

Sunday, 25 November 2012 @ 1:08 am


ONE MORE PAPER TILL THE END OF A LEVELS

feels feels feels feels feels feels feels feels feels feels. FEELS.

so I would be going to camp on thrusday, coming back on friday and then going off to malaysia on saturday and back on sunday \o/ life after A levels would be sweet, or at least until the results are released /creys

anyway i'm trying to play otome games now (read as: japanese dating games for people who are delusional like me. and generally addictive and are visual novels). well I'll continue playing staska since they are all installed properly in my laptop. but for diabolik lovers and brothers conflict ... that's a totally different story because my psp isnt letting me play dialovers and brocon ... okay.

lol, what is prom?

JUMP; the group that changed my life
Monday, 12 November 2012 @ 1:40 am


I have many JUMP feels now, please bear with me (I'd use on with Ryutaro but then ...)

Wasting my time over the past few days watching JUMP's new Concert DVD and it was totally worth it because I was never bored at any point of time during the duration of both discs. The stage set up was amazing and how they managed to make the flow of the concert go so well with each transition of the songs were really amazing. I mean, they kept changing their costumes and suddenly appears with a new one, almost at lightning speed. I'm so proud they've mastered the art of changing costumes.

Of course, I love to see how they dance as usual. May be it's because they have many members because they can make many formations and that intrigues me a lot. My favourite dancers still remains the same, Yamada Ryosuke and Nakajima Yuto (OTP!, well Morimoto Ryutaro too but ...). So yes, the DVD is amazing and they are as dumb and stupid as usual at backstage and I love how they started to abuse their limited knowledge of Chinese in Taipei.

5 more papers left for A levels!
I'll need to find a work after that to earn money and plan for a trip to Japan with Vai (to probably watch JUMP's next concert since we wouldn't be able to catch Johnny's World in January). Anyway I went to AFA 2012 on Saturday, it was worth it. The best booths were at the Creators' Hub because everything was beautiful. The prints and arts there were amazing. Too bad I didnt buy any prints but I bought a stash of badges. I might just cosplay with my brother next year, he has been bugging me for ... idk, years?

I dont feel like sleeping because I want to re-watch JUMP's DVD. Yes, it's that amazing.

カーニヴァル
Wednesday, 31 October 2012 @ 6:36 pm


(Kichii from Karneval; credits from spooklessrawr

A LEVELS IN 4 DAYS. Kichii's reaction helps to voice out how I feel, a lot.

So the two-weeks study break is coming to an end, I've finished my revision for Chemistry, half of Mathematics, General Paper has already been done since Pre-As and none for Geography and Economics because there's still time for those papers. Well, it seems that I'm still on time for my revision. Someone just stop me from procrastinating.

And because I've procrastinated, I'm addicted to the manga-going-to-be-anime [Karneval].

Lovely storyline with pretty characters, I love the art of the manga covers. Which is why I want the Japanese (a.k.a original) version of the manga. Well, I'll just start buying it from Kinokuniya after As. This is a good motivation yes?

I'm in love with Yogi, I swear. He's so cute.

Damn it, I should just go and work at Kinokuniya and make them pay me in the form of books. Worth it (loljk, I'd use my salary and buy the books tho, so it's the same).
