March's Goals

Posted in: 2023 posts | Art Stuff | Big Goal and Small Goal | blog images | Forty Winks and More | No Mood

It's time for the monthly report!

February's
(Very) Big goal:
Wake up early

Small goals:
- Deal with my to-watch/currently watching list
- Draw Pakho Chau

25 days in February! Although I must mention that... it's partially due to my sleeping problems that I "woke up" early for some days *sigh*...


Can't say that I made more progress compared to last month's in dealing with my watchlist *sigh*... I drew Pakho Chau though! Or someone who looks like him anyway :P... Honestly, I'm not satisfied with what I drew so I've been sulking (lol) about it and haven't return to it (or draw a new one). But I still count it as a completed goal!

Since I'm not expecting March to be a good month for me, I want goals (ooh can you guess?) that are very light and manageable (hopefully).

(Very) Big goal:
Wake up early

Small goals:
- Deal with my to-watch/currently watching list (Alien and Predator movies)
- Organise my Chrome bookmarks

Yeah... so continuing again for another month but with a focus on the Alien and Predator movies. [Ah, very light indeed.]

M Day

Posted in: 2023 posts | Art Stuff | Manga

The feeling of making things right today is strong so... I cleaned my messy desk.

Also dug through the stuff in my room for my drawing supplies. I hope I'll start using them tomorrow.. no, scratch that.. I'll make it happen. I will use them tomorrow.

Sunday also feels like a manga day... although I haven't read any today haha (ooh but that's a good idea...)

Distracted Again

Posted in: 2023 posts | Anime | Art Stuff | Reading | The Weather Looks... | Utterly Distracted | Weekend Musings

Sunny Saturday. Which means it should have been a good day... but why do I feel kind of mean today?

Since Thursday's post, I...
  • Found two more anime I enjoy watching (one more than the other): 
    1. "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill" -
      *the title is so long!!!* wholesome isekai-themed anime!
    2. "Sugar Apple Fairy Tale" - the MC can be annoying sometimes but she hasn't annoy me enough to DNF it
  • Want to start drawing Pakho Chau but since I can't find my art stuff, (it's there somewhere, I just need to organise my room *sigh*) I've been procrastinating...
  • Have continued reading "The Unreal & The Real" - very slow progress. The font size is so small and the paragraphs look so dense because of that... it takes more effort than usual to read the book. It is easy to read though so far (I don't know why I keep expecting it to be like Conrad's book :/...). I don't think I'll be able to finish this in two weeks... which means... I might not pick a new book this month. I think doing so will be better for me, mentally :)   
  • Want to sing...? - when was the last time I sing?
  • Think losing trust on someone can be freeing and calming. Sometimes, you have to take that away from those who don't deserve it to move forward.
  • Still get easily distracted
  • Want to have a good laugh

Took me almost two hours to publish this because I kept getting distracted lol

February's Goals

Posted in: 2023 posts | Art Stuff | Big Goal and Small Goal | blog images | Interest: TV | Netflix

Oooh I'm actually early for this month :P

January's
(Very) Big goal:
Wake up early

Small goal:
Deal with my to-watch/currently watching list

Big goal achieved in January (25 days!) even though I have a day less than last year's December... 


I feel like I finished most of the movies I was watching in January (and unfortunately started more new ones lol) so I will consider the small goal completed. I would like to continue for another month since it's such a fun goal XD

So goals this month will be the same as last month's with an extra:

(Very) Big goal:
Wake up early

Small goals:
- Deal with my to-watch/currently watching list
- Draw Pakho Chau

Randomly added that last one to make myself do it this month (or at least attempt to do it) XD... He still haunts me... (I guess it's my own fault since I keep re-watching that performance but his expression was soooo good - I LOVE IT SO MUCH)

Bad Luck

Posted in: # Call Me By Fire | 2023 posts | Art Stuff | My Fangirl Side | No Mood | Reading | Youtube | 蘇有朋

I feel like I've been having a string of bad luck these few days. I probably shouldn't have cleaned my room that day. Probably shouldn't have drunk a carton of milk yesterday. 

Funnily (or rather, ironically?), reading has been fun again so I guess things balance out in the end...?


On a lighter note, I'm being haunted by Pakho Chau's expressions in their (the Su Tribe's) performances for "Huo Yuanjia" (the beginning) and "Xiu Shou Pang Guan" (X-part) on "Call Me by Fire" (I'm also considering "Kuang Liu" but I don't know which part I want to draw lol)... so I need to draw them down so that he can stop haunting me XD

[Regardless of whether I'm capable of doing it, I'm still going to do it :P]

Slower Time

Posted in: 2022 posts | Art Stuff | Big Goal and Small Goal | Interest: Games

Yesterday, six minutes felt like half an hour. Did the time move slower than usual near midnight?

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰
So about this month's big goal and small goal... 

Big goal: 
Finish playing one of these games
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider
  • Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
  • Murdered: Soul Suspect
Lol a fun one this time, huh.. I'm trying to clear up space on the computer so this is like one of my attempts for that. Probably have to play "Murdered: Soul Suspect" from the beginning because I forgot what it was about already haha

Small goal:
Do I dare...? Nah, I'm doing it. 

So I mentioned about wanting to paint a bookmark based on a favourite fictional character of mine in November... and I'm going to do that. I'm going to paint a Tsugaru bookmark this month!

A Slow Journey

Posted in: 2021 posts | Art Stuff | Ohno Satoshi 大野智 | On This Day | Quotes | Tumblr

On This Day post!

Only one post from the past and it's from the year 2019. Quite recent. And it's about art.

And... I'm bringing that quote back here (from my Tumblr):
"Getting ‘stuck’ is a sign that you are trying to improve yourself. If you don’t struggle, you won’t find inspiration." -Yoshitomo Nara (answer to Ohno’s question on being ‘stuck’ in creating art)
It's actually from an article on musicjapanplus.jp but the site doesn't seem to exist anymore. There's an arama LJ post on that.

I still love that quote! It can apply to other things too, if you really think about it.

So it was kind of scary that some time in the middle of the year I suddenly had the urge to create art. 
Yeah.. this was in 2019. I don't experience that urge that much this year but it's there. I still don't do it as often as I want.

I had that one moment where a voice inside me said, "I want to paint something." I didn't respond to that urge immediately though. 
Didn't "hear" this "voice" much either. I think it's because I've allowed myself to go do it if I want? I don't know.  

I'm...slowly getting there.
It's definitely a very slow journey :P

13 Thoughts This Week

Posted in: # Mass Effect | 2021 posts | Art Stuff | Blog Meme | Books | Forty Winks and More | Learning French Language | Online Shopping | The Weather Looks...

Thursday 13 post!
  1. I'm waiting for J&T to deliver some 10.10 parcels.

  2. I'm window-shopping for books on Shopee. I'm thinking of translated books by Japanese authors.

  3. I just realised that now Book Depository asked for phone numbers in the delivery address section. I don't remember having that in the past.

  4. I need to clean and organise my room (again).

  5. I want to compile all my stationery and art supplies in one place and organise systematically because my system now has failed me *sigh*

  6. I've somewhat finished doing a list of books in my shelf (I mentioned in a post before about doing a static list). Still need to add my manga collection...

  7. Disabled the "Google Dictionary" extension. Chrome is being slow again so I'm trying to see if one of the extensions is responsible. But the dictionary recently sometimes work and sometimes it doesn't so I'm not missing having it.

  8. I feel like learning French again. Thinking of taking out my old notes and books from the storage box (or bottom shelf).

  9. Today's weather report: It's hot! I can feel the burn on my back when I was hanging up the laundry.

  10. Been playing "Viscera Cleanup Detail" recently and got reminded why I hate cleaning sometimes (sooo many things to do...). I should get back to killing aliens in ME3. 

  11. I want to watch more horror movies.

  12. I've been taking Calcium supplement daily recently and I realised it helps me to fall asleep. Supposedly it helps with the sleep cycle (which I do have problems with). It's like the drinking milk thing to induce sleep. It works for me (I don't know if it's placebo effect or what). At night, I actually yawn (which doesn't happen always) and yearn for sleep. And I'm able to sleep more than 5 hours. 

  13. Thinking of doing art stuff again but don't know where to start. I probably should do #5 first so that I know where to find my things.

A Friday the 13th Post

Posted in: 2021 posts | Art Stuff | blog images | Books | Online Shopping Bag

One unlucky thing that happened today (or technically, it's yesterday?), saw an e-mail from Carousell telling me that the deal I initiated was cancelled. I guess the seller's not serious in selling their stuff since it's listed last year and they took over a month to reply to me. I just thought I'll try it anyway after they replied the books are available... but some things just don't work out, just as usual. 

Haah... at least I received these today, I guess. Another BBW book haul (lol). Decided I'll try reading more books in the Sherlock series. Got another book from the Earthsea series. And another "How to Sketch" book.

Quite surprised that the 2-in-1 Sherlock Holmes novels book is quite small. But I kind of like it. The size, I mean.

A Study in Scarlet & The Sign of the Four ・ The Other Wind ・ The Hound of the Baskervilles ・ How to Sketch Plants & Trees

Moody Monday

Posted in: 2021 posts | Art Stuff | In Zombie Mode | No Mood

Feeling so lazy today. Moody. Cranky. 


Not sleepy although I pretty much stayed up until 6am (but I did get to sleep the whole morning.. so.). Wasn't even reading. I just couldn't go to sleep because my mind was so active. Also, my neck is killing me.

And it's kind of funny looking at my post yesterday. "Who are you? I don't wanna do that lol" Suddenly the thought of committing for a month to paint scares me. I will be mad at myself if I stop halfway. Do I really want to disappoint myself like that? 

I'm still interested in drawing fanart - or fan art - though, so... maybe...

Is it fan art or fanart?

Posted in: 2021 posts | Art Stuff | I Need to Talk About My Dreams

Sunday~~~!


Had another somewhat weird dream. About classmates that are going to celebrate my birthday...? That's months away. I suspect that this happened because I edited this post yesterday. How???

It's almost July~ I wonder if I should do watercolour month like last year?  Didn't paint anything major though. This year's prompts are here but maybe I shouldn't limit myself to the prompts this time...? Hmm. I do want to try something related to Voltage inc games actually (so basically I'm doing fanart XD). Oooh... I could draw first for now... or is that considered cheating?

Not Today

Posted in: 2021 posts | Art Stuff | Arty Weekend | Knit/Crochet Stuff

Today's small achievement: Choosing not to be a devil's advocate.

I really, really wanted to say something opposite to what others said... but I held back. To me, that's a feat I'm proud of today.

Oh yeah, I also finished whatever I'm knitting most recently (lol)... since it's an experiment, I'm hesitant to mention it here so I'll wait until it's complete. 

Arty weekend again (I actually enjoy using  that name XD). Actually out of ideas of how to use the oil pastels and crayons (besides using them on Spongebob colouring book). I do have a large drawing block (yes, it's also something unused from the past *sigh*)... but can't think of anything meaningful to draw(?). I want to create something that I can keep, if possible.

Arty... Weekend?

Posted in: 2021 posts | Art Stuff

Continued cleaning my room. 

Found some of my old art supplies. Added new ones to the storage box. I was hesitant at first because when they go in the box, I might forget about them again. And then I have this brilliant idea of creating art during weekends. Not daily (that would be a bit hard for me now), only on Saturdays and Sundays. I also want to use up those old oil pastels & crayons so it's actually a very practical thing to do... and I also have a thick colouring book of Spongebob Squarepants (Bwahahaha). I haven't checked but I think it was from 2008? It was bought on the Doulos ship.

It can be anything though, drawing portraits, painting.. as long as I'm using my old [still usable, probably] art supplies.

Not sure if I'm going to blog about it because they are probably not something show-worthy. Maybe when I'm satisfied with it...


Very tempted to call the label "Arty Weekend" although arty doesn't mean what I want it to be lol

My 13 Hobbies

Posted in: # Mass Effect | 2021 posts | Art Stuff | Blog Meme | Gardening Stuff | Knit/Crochet Stuff | My Fangirl Side | Piano | Reading

It's not easy to list out 13 items so I don't always get to do a Thursday 13 post. But today, I have this idea... so I'm listing out 13 of my hobbies. 

Always
Things I do every week these last few months

1. Reading - Something I do since I'm little. I have occasional reading slumps but I still like doing it.

2. Watching TV/Youtube/Netflix - Not much TV nowadays but Youtube, oh yes. It started from watching some japanese vlogs to watching people play horror games. Now I'm learning how to knit from Youtube videos.

3. Surfing the Internet - Being in fandoms got me into looking for their information online. I started using the internet pretty early (compared to my peers at that time).. and, yes, I experienced dial-up connection. Internet was pretty expensive back then [for the slow speed *sigh*] so I could only use it after my mother's done using it. 

4. Collecting Things - I don't collect everything of course. But when there's something I'm interested in, I naturally want to collect them. I used to collect stamps and stickers. I still have the hotel envelopes I mentioned in a post before. Other things I collect are books and stationery... I try not to collect stuff I can't use. 
 
5. Blogging - My blog has been online since February 2005. There were years I didn't update anything but yeah, I still consider it one of my hobbies.

6. Music-related Activities (Listening to Music/Playing the Piano) 

7. Playing Computer/Mobile games - I LOVE GAMES. I wasn't allowed or didn't have much chance to play them when I was little so I think that played a big part on why I love them so much now. I play quite a wide range of games. I enjoy the Mass Effect series. I love mystery, puzzle-solving games. Adventure games. Visual novel games. Otome games. Music rhythm games.

Sometimes/on-and-off/Sporadic
Things I do monthly these last few months

8. Cooking

9. Writing - When I'm not lazy, I like attempting to write fanfics based on the games I play lol. 

10. Learning a Language

11. Creating Art (Drawing/Painting) - This one is really an on-and-off thing for me. But I'm trying to do more of this because sometimes I do have that urge to do some art things.

Newish/Experimental stage(?)

12. Gardening

13. Knitting

Goodbye Year 2020

Posted in: # Mass Effect | 2020 posts | Anime | Art Stuff | Interest: Games | Interest: TV | My Fangirl Side | My Paranoid Side | Reading

I feel like I need to post something today just to summarise what happened since my last post (which was in October. Wow). 

Nothing much, really. 

But there's one thing I must include in this post today: Despite what happened this year, my year 2020 is a better year than my last year. I feel like an empty shell in 2019. This year, I feel more alive. Even though I spent most of the year at home. Yes. 

2020 is a complicated year.. but I won't pretend that it never happen. Maybe it's just me wanting to see the bright side of things. I survived. I guess that's the only thing that matters now... seeing how I look forward to futures again. Not going to go out much yet at this time - my paranoid side yells a solid NO - but I look forward to visiting [botanical] gardens in the far future. 

Some mundane updates, in random order...
✿ I've been watching Oguri Shun's old dorama, BORDER, recently and I'm appreciating it more now that I somewhat made peace with my dark side (hue hue hue).. the show was actually dark from the beginning! I never realised that before.. very interesting.
✿ This is the year I pick up old & new hobbies. Phew! I don't know how people do it.. I'm so bad at allocating time for all of them. Anyway... I've been reading a bit again. Did some minor watercolour paintings. Became more interested in gardening. Also, I learnt how to knit! Planned to learn crocheting too but I underestimated the amount of yarns I need so that is going to happen next year I guess.
✿ Watched more anime... Music-themed "Kono Oto Tomare" got me crying buckets. "Moriarty the Patriot" made me realised I love hearing Hatanaka Tasuku sing anime theme song so that brought me back to re-watching "Naka no Hito Genome: Jikkyochu" (realised how much I love his character there lol). I really love the colour scheme used in "Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun"! I was really impressed by Kakihara Tetsuya's deep voice in "Gibiate" but that anime is a mess - I don't recommend it. Also just realised this year that I've been in love with Ono Yuki's voice before I even know it's him...? It's so weird. How could I forget that he's Hori-senpai in "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun"!!! Also, I'm strangely in love with "Fugou Keiji: Balance UNLIMITED" :P. My dark side finds Anos from "The Misfit of Demon King Academy" very appealing (and having his seiyuu sing the main theme song in some episodes was.. perfection) - thanks to that one kill&revive scene in Episode #1. He's a very charming character really. 
✿ Still gets annoyed watching horror movies nowadays. I always find something to complain about.
✿ Enjoyed watching "Avenue 5" so much. Its dark humour is my type of humour XD.. And they have this one scene that, to me, symbolised the situation months before when people are refusing to wear masks in public overseas. OMG that scene was brilliant at showing top-notch human stupidness .. now I wanna go watch it again.. 
✿ I actually enjoyed the 2nd season of "Lost in Space" more than the 1st one! And that's just because I loved playing the "Mass Effect" game series... I'm also a fan of Toby Stephens (after seeing his Mr Rochester).. If I have my own robot, I'm going to name him Legion!


Okay, I'll stop here since that's all I can think of for now lol

Posted in: 2020 posts | Anime | Art Stuff | at random | Birthday | Gardening Stuff | Interest: Games | Interest: TV | Life | My Fangirl Side | Seiyuu Love | This Made My Day | TV

【 Gardening 】
You've heard the stories. The stuff people do during MCO, quarantine, isolation, lockdown etc... I didn't think I experience THAT much changes compared to last year but I confess.. I got bitten by the gardening bug this year haha. I don't consider myself a follower of fads but when I do, I get into it so bad. Now I seek for TV shows that feature plants and gardening and manga with gardening theme.. and I started getting interested in creating botanical paintings (which is fine with my being into art recently but still...).. 

Actually, it's not really new to me because I grew catnip for my cats in 2017-18. They are still alive - one flowered twice this year - although I recently pruned them to like 1/3 of their original size. I also still have my aloe vera that was purchased in 2017 at the Asia City tamu. It almost died (along with my rosemary, who didn't make it RIP) but in the end it survived and gives me aloe vera babies (they are so cute!) since then. Probably have to move some of them to their own pots because they are getting cramped again in their pot. 

I feel like I should include some photos at this point... but I'm quite nervous because I might jinx it. Maybe in the future? 

Anyway, so yeah... gardening bug... now I'm browsing for seeds online instead of books and stationery (yay?) but seeds can be expensive too because of the shipping fees. Why seeds you ask? Because it's cheaper.. and I seldom go out anymore (hah!).. uhh.. Also, I'm interested in plants that might not be available in nurseries. I get seeds for fruits/vegetables that I want to eat, plants with blue/purple flowers (it's oddly specific but yeah), & aromatic/fragrant plants... I'm also interested in weird-looking ones.. and most succulents fall under this haha (want to get some lithops in the future).

【 Anime 】
I've been watching more anime recently and one of it is "A Destructive God Sits Next to Me". The anime is so chaotic!!  ...but honestly, it's just the kind of thing I'm into *almost makes me wonder why I took so long to watch it haha*. As I watched more episodes, I find myself relating so much to one of the characters, Tsukimiya, that I had to check if he's an xNTP.. I found one site that says he's an ENTP.. which just makes me smile..er..laugh more. No wonder!

I also re-watched the first 3 seasons of Natsume Yuujinchou and now catching up with the latest seasons that I haven't watched. Got reminded again how much I love the manga...

【 Youtube 】
Saw some "Fall Guys" playthrough recently and it made me want to play too! It's so weird how fast I got interested in it (apparently I skipped some of Pocky Sweets' videos of him playing it.. lol).. I'm already planning on buying it soon. I'll just tell myself it's a birthday present for me haha

Posted in: 2020 posts | Art Stuff | at random | Life | My Paranoid Side | My Worrying Side | Piano

I'm sick again. For the second time of the year. Arggh! Fortunately, I'm feeling better today.. my 4th day I think? Last Saturday, I felt a bit hard to breathe.. it was like gasping for air after going for a run. I never had that before but yes, my nose was runny and stuffy since Friday, so I think it's not that weird. I probably slept in a bad posture the night before. Hmm. Anyway.. that was enough to remind me again of the bad cold/flu thing I had last year and scared me enough not to get out of the house again. I did go out several times since the time we were allowed to but I really don't want to go out too much. It's.. dangerous out there. 

★★★★★
I should be teaching piano this month but I cancelled it because I don't think it's the wise thing to do after seeing what's happening recently.

★★★★★
I didn't mention it here and it was really done in a spur of the moment.. but... I tried doing Watercolour Month and it was interesting! It forced me (in a good way) to paint something everyday in July. Of course, my knowledge of using paint only consists of the poster colours I did in school...
BTW aren't Posca Pens basically Poster Colour Pens? ポスターカラー Posuta Kara - > PosuKa -> Posca?.. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy poster colour paint set (of course.. I'm aware that there are some that are expensive)? 
Okay back to the topic... I didn't really do anything big or grand.. most of them are small!.. it's just something like an art diary thing. And I experimented a lot because I just jumped in blind and tried something I'm not that familiar with. It was fun nonetheless!

Something Something

Posted in: 1st post | 2020 posts | Art Stuff | Books | Interest: TV | Seiyuu Love | Tweets | Twitter

I totally forgot to post in June!

Oh well, there aren't much to talk about anyway.

Some updates:
  • Finally received the book I purchased via Bookurve at the end of February last month. My Dijun crush has died down now although it might rekindle again since apparently "Eternal Love of Dream" is going to be shown on 8TV this week. In June, my mother suddenly joined me in watching "Love and Destiny" and after it ended I really wanted her to see Feng Jiu & Dijun again.
  • Tried out Google's video call services(?) with my bestfriend. Lol.. honestly I won't have much opportunity to use them (except with my family) so I took advantage of that and tried all. I used a desktop computer and my phone as the "camera". I'm fond of Meet (for now)... Hangouts' should be okay but I don't really like to hear my voice echoing after I say something (I already muted anything like when I use Meet). Duo was okay too but I can't use it on the computer (no camera).
  • One of my favourite seiyuu (Konishi Katsuyuki!) opened his own Youtube channel where he streams his gameplay. I got super excited when I saw him playing "Death Stranding" although I just realised the existence of his channel a month later. He was super low-key about it! I happened to see his tweet about going live so that's how I knew. If I remember correctly, in one of his DS playthrough, he was asked if he's finally becoming a youtuber [as in making it a career] and he said he didn't think of it that far. He just wants to play video games together with his audience. 
    • While he plays, he talks about a lot of things so watching him is kinda relaxing haha... He's quite attentive too [I'm guessing this is because of the nature of his work?] - he often sees the chats left when he's livestreaming and he will make some comments on it.
Some thoughts:
  • Art.. The urge is back! And since I talked a bit about it with my bestfriend.. I feel like painting something recently.
  • Been thinking about adding more photos in this blog. That would make it easy to post something in the future.
  • Also, recently I've thought of compiling my old tweets here [for my own benefit] lol.. so hard to navigate to the oldest (although it's easy to make a twitter search) now. The idea came when I checked my Twitter archive and found interesting tweets from the past. It was fun to see them again.

Me on 14-Dec-2019

Posted in: 2019 posts | Art Stuff | me on... | NaBloPoMo

Went to Karamunsing today. An hour later, I suddenly felt like avoiding the crowd. I don't want to be around people I don't know. I just want to go home. The urge to create art was also there. I must create something today.
