If I were a boy girl?
I guess being Uke looking for a whole year gave way to something a little more... uhh...?? advanced? I never thought I'd look it but I guess I was proven wrong? Lols! I'll let the photos do the talking from here on in. Yes, if you see me like this at a con you may glomps me rawr~
I think that's about enough. I've posted some on my facebook as well in my 'Trap' folder so you can check the rest there. Ciaos~

A few notes/tips on dieting if you ever need it ;)
Well the issue of weight has been one thats been known to pop up from time to time amongst my friends (more now considering the amount of girlfriends I have has increased since college).
So yeah, I never really had a problem with weight being a healthy growing guy with a high metabolism that's the envy of most girls and some of my more meatier guy friends. Recently though, I noticed the arrow on the weight machine has been pointing on a different digit compared to before (I gained a bit over the holidays from lazing about and stuffin ma face XD) so I decided to look into it and lose them extra pounds as I need to keep it down for cosplay purposes (need to be slim maaa =P) Here's a couple of things I found out from various sources that affect your eating habits which contributes to eating more and gaining that extra weight.
No 1.
SLEEP.....
Okay, being a student like most of my friends are. We love to stay up and mess around (thats the time you're rushing your assignments, you wanna yam cha and you wanna watch movie etc. etc.) so we'll most likely sleep late. If you're looking out for you weight, THIS IS A BAD IDEA especially when you know you're NOT GONNA GET ENOUGH SLEEP.
Basically what I found is that if you're LACKING sleep. You'll EAT MORE. What happens is, you're body tells your brain that it didn't get enough time to rest last night and it can't pump out enough energy for you to use, so you're body replies by asking you to EAT MORE to produce that extra energy thats needed. Seriously, I noticed its true.
No 2.
Divide your meals
Okay, normally the daily routine is 3 meals a day right? Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. If you wanna lose that weight without exercising... Try this. Break up the 3 meals into 6 EXCEPT eat less for each meal. I'm not saying starve yourself but maybe you can snack on buns and small stuff for those meals in between. IMPORTANT, drink LOTS of WATER! Water will help fill you up and fool your stomach into thinking its full. My lecturer suggested this since it works for him =3
No 3.
Exercise
Okay I know not a lot of people are a fan of this but seriously guys if you wanna get rid of that fat, you gotta move that ass XD do something you enjoy but requires you to at least move about a bit to increase your metabolism rate. I personally like DDR, Ez2Dancer and ParaParaParadise but that's me. Maybe you can try the usual morning jog to college or just a good evening walk to the local park in your area? Hahaha I dunno, swimming is a good activity too if you can get access to a pool.
Thats about it from me, I figured I'd just share this piece of advice for your benefit. If you do end up trying these methods please tell me if it worked for you ;P since I've only done number 1 and 3 XD

A day out... in Cineleisure with the Cos-gang
So it was any other Sunday, and my buds wanna go out and hang out. As much as i'd have liked to laze in bed till noon as I usually do on any given Sunday I thought it best to be sociable and go along with the plan to meet people. So i got up at 10 and got ready to drive all the way back from KL to Cineleisure where my day pretty much began. (I did have some Awesome! Hashbrowns made by my grandma before I left tho~ TQ Grams!!!!)
Surprisingly enough, I found parking in Cineleisure almost instantly. Didn't know it was that easy to get spots on a Sunday... huh... anyways, parked and went to meet up the FF group for Animangaki. I heard beat say over the phone that we were to meet at the Sci-fi cafe but me with my somewhat deaf ear made an error. I was supposed to meet them at the (Sun Comics) Cosplay cafe. So I had to turn back and walk all the way down from where I came. Haha before I joined them, I slipped into the toilet and put in my new lenses I got from Akiko ;) the ones where it makes my Iris stand out and covers the rest of my eye in white XD imagine how freaky that looks =p So yeah, I scared the living pants (and skirts) off the guys and girls there sitting and enjoying their meals whilst making their usual noise =3
Sat down with them for awhile and caught up with my fellow cam-gig Beatbox who took a couple of snaps of us together while we chatted away. I ordered some Milo to wake myself up a bit since I was still dazed from the lack of sleep. Dei joined us moments later while we were leaving the cafe to go elsewhere (he desperately needed to get out of the mass he was supposed to attend haha) and as we stepped into the Gamer's Hideout branch next door we spied ourselves a copy of Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete!!! Dei insisted that we get a copy to watch that night itself and we left the store only to return once more with money to buy it. The CD pack included two blue ray disc containers. One was obviously the Blue Ray movie FF AC Complete and the other was the well awaited FF 13 game demo playable only on the PS3 FTW!!!
After leaving GH, we went to several other stores in the area. Daiso was one of them. Its a japanese based store which sells everything thats for sale at 5 ringgits for each product (big or small). Products ranged from underwear and stockings to cooking utensils. It was a pretty neat place to get stuff in and at 5 ringgits per Item, where can you go wrong???
We also visited the Boarders bookstore, of course as anime freaks we stormed the Manga section almost immediately and never ventured anywhere else from the moment we entered till we left. Dei purchased a book which had a collage of photos taken of a female cosplayer portraying different characters from different series. The quality of her cosplays were decent but personally I feel she didn't suit a handful of the few dozen she did (no one's perfect right? XD but she was pretty Garrr!!! regardless)
Owh yeah, forgot to mention I won myself a Timex watch which is worth a couple hundred and all by riding this high tech scooter-like vehicle called the Segway. It's basically this platform with a handle that has two wheels on the side instead of in front and back which has a gyroscope that keeps it balanced on the two wheels. Its wicked fun but scary if you're not used to it. The sensation you get if described with words is like being able to hover and fly. Its a sensation i've only ever gotten in my dreams but materialized in real life XD
So yeah riding it wasn't the only task, you had to do a circuit course. 3 lowest times get a prize. I managed 13secs+. Dei got 1st by doing it at 12.... its not fair tho since he got practice the day before *squints* anyways, we went home pretty happy (and some of us tired lol). Went home after everyone decided it was time to go. We popped in the Blu-ray disc to watch FF AC Complete and the rest.... well.... its practically history ;)

Update
I figured I'd make a written log of where I think I am right now in life and some general stuff about me.
Lets see... 20th birthday just passed. w00t?
College is almost over and I'm advancing to UNI in September.
Life's generally good despite the frequent sudden ups and downs.
I find myself overspending every month $_$ gotta get it under control.
No love interests... no one interested in me... I suck la what to do.
Missing friends and ex-programme mates... wish I could chill with all of em once more.
Planning to Major in sociology, wonder if I'll be a good social worker?
I have no idea who I'm taking to prom despite wanting to go so badly...
I'm having weird sexually orientated dreams that get freakier and freakier with every dream... my Id/Subconscious must be craving THAT food a lot right now. No dice sorry!
Been trying to go for skin treatment, need to fix the zit scarring on my face.
Hair has grown the longest its ever grown in my whole entire life and its still thickening XD Grow hair grow!!!
Mmm... I think thats about it...
I have a few cosplay plans lined up for the next few months.
Hopefully they'll be portrayed up to my expectations.
My phones been awfully quiet these days. I wonder whatever happened to all the people I used to text ever so often... guess we all move on eventually huh?

Another Friday, A Nice Get Together
So its the end of the week. College is out yet again w00t!!! ICPU dress up week
has ended D; it was fun while it lasted... I think Friday was the best turnout tho
loads of people in their traditional outfits.
Me, Jason and Chris decided to get together for dinner and a few drinks. I brought
Shad along to make up for ditching him last thursday coz I KO-ed at Ace's place
while I was watching Jimmy and gang playing Winning Eleven.
We had a good time. Kai Meng joined us after Jason arrived and we all played some pool
before ordering some Pizza. Chris brought out a couple of beers and we had a lil bit of Red Label while we were just chilling and sharing some stories afterwards.
We decided to head out to go clubbin at this new place called Hello Bali? I dunno... well to tell you the truth it sucked... went in... left like 20 odd minutes later... why? Two words, Uncle's Club D8.... Wasn't feeling the vibe... the music didn't sit well with us either. So we called it a night and we went our seperate ways. Shad and me grabbed a couple of quarter pounders and now we're watching Dirty Harry on my PS3. I'll add some photos if I ever get em =P

A moment of calm...
Its so peaceful right now... 4 o'clock in the morning... everyones asleep in their beds... its still dark and at times I feel the world just stopped for a moment... Music is playing on my lap top and its so soothing to simply lay back on my bad and just remain quiet... closing my eyes to listen to the song being played... it speaks to me... it pierces my chest and caresses my soul. If only I could feel like this... experience this more of the time... if only...
Mmm... In this moment, I appreciate all that I have and all that I am... The past cannot be unwritten but there is much to come in the future... and I'll see to that future as best I can ;)

A clean room... oAo
Okay so this used to be my schedule. I'd go through the entire week of my college life. Day in day out and at the end of the week, i'd pack up my dirty clothes and do a full clean up of the room (move everything where it should be and vacuum up the place). Now, somewhere down the line (i'm guessing thanks to holidays) I stopped doing that. It got to a point that I hadn't cleaned my room for months. Somewhat clean clothes were lying on the floor (that's not my usual practice) and there were food wrappers gliding on the ground kicked up by the fan... my room was a mess. You couldn't take 2 steps without having to worry about stepping on something.
Yesterday however, I finally took initiative to clean up my near inhabitable habitat XD (my good friend from Kuching was flying down but despite knowing his ability to handle such a messy environment, I felt its not the right way to treat a guest in your home)
Moved everything that could be moved outside and vacuumed the floor of all the loose hairs that had been collected over the time period.... O______O there was a lot. I picked up all the loose change I dropped from taking off my pants before emptying my pockets. Now my work desk can actually be used for WORK and not be a base for a mountain of crap filled with DVD's, useless fliers, expired coupons, plastic bags and what not. Well once everything was sorted out, I felt relieved. I could run in and out of the room to get stuff without any hasle. I can always find my keys (which I used to hunt for under all the re-used jeans for the week that lay on the floor) and there's even enough room for a third person to bunk in if there is ever a need to =P I don't know why but I always feel so happy once my room's cleaned XD there's that sense of satisfaction you gain. Anyways, i'm still feeling the after effects of the drink I had with my friend this morning. I'll end it here now but I may post up pics of my room if I remember. See ya~

Sociological Issues...
I've always been interested in sociological issues related to people. One thing i'm sure of now is that; ALL of us; we will never truly get along with each other. There will always be arguments, there will always be disagreements and there will always be DIFFERENCE. I've even come to conclude that if everyone on the planet were the same in all things, we'd still have these problems *squints out of frustration* sigh....
I mean yeah, battles have been fought over ideals as well as over race, religion and culture but recently I came across several pointless arguments that were blown out of proportion. I found that people even debated about things like the use of a controller pad over a mouse and keyboard. Now I suppose its fine to have a preference but to use such profane language in an argument over what you use for gaming is quite pointless I think... so WHAT if I like using a mouse? So what If I like to use my PS3 controller for some games? How does it affect you? Goodness.... Theres no need to be so forceful in your opinions.
Recently I was given a link to someone's blog. He visited an ACGC event I had attended a few weeks back. He gave his honest opinion about what he thought of the quality of cosplay at the event (and Malaysia) despite being VERY illinformed of the details (he thought the cosplayers were hired by the event organizers and was very judgemental of them simply because they did not match up to his expectations). He was a tad rude in presenting these opinions and when he mentioned the race of the cosplayers in his comments he received a great backlash from the other visitors to his blog soon after.
A simple misunderstanding turned into something much more complex. I just don't know whats the problem with people. I think we've just been taught the wrong way to handle conflicts and arguments. I'm not saying I'm not one of them (i'm not perfect and I can get pretty personal depending on the topic) but i'm just concerned at where this attitude is going to lead us. This thing's just been circulating in my head for awhile so I figured I'd pour it here to clear my head. *shakes head* I just don't understand some people....
