Last Sunday, I dragged puppy-eyed ah pek to fetch me to go for Boey's Meet&Greet Session at Kinokuniya, KLCC. (Artist behind "When I was a Kid") I did the same when I wanted to buy the book few months back at Times Bookstore too. *laughs*
It was my first time going for such an event (okay, second time. the first being Wang Lee Hom and his manager almost wanted to kill me, but that's another story for another day :P) and I was feeling a bit lost, wishing I was a student all over again cause ...it's easier when you are young and naive. That's what I feel :P
And then...
:D:D:D ohmaigooselarh. The guy behind the book I have been reading and reading over and over again. Bugging baby brother bear, bugging my friends to give a chance to the book cause it's actually quite addictive, nostalgic and good time killer when you are in the toilet *uh-hm* he was the guy behind all those crazy looking styrofoam cups. And instead of approaching to him to talk, I stalked from afar-_-
And he did not lie. He is MORE good looking in real life and I can't believe those shoes were from ZARA.
his dad's eyebrows makes him look so cute!
BUT THIS WAS DEFINITELY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE THING!!!!
meeting
HIS MOM!!!!
:D:D
I am a superrrr happpyyyy girl!
There is just something bout his mom that is just..pleasant :) and his mom's love for him, you can feel it from the book itself. I can't explain it. You gotta read it yourself to find out.
See the mini signature ? That is the mom's. :D
It was so embarrassing. Cause I wanted her signature BUT I did not have a pen-_- In the end, his mom had to dig for a pen from her bag. *puts paperbag over head*
All in all, it was a wonderful meet&greet, Boey is much more humble in real life compared to how he is on Facebook. It was funny cause despite all this fame, he is still human. (or should I say down-to-earth?) Admitting in front of the crowd that he IS indeed nervous, hence pacing back&forth. Though so, did not bother to prepare any script and he was very honest in telling his personal stories.
And it irks me that when the Q&A session was on, I could not squeeze any questions to ask but I had a few on the way home in the car-_- BAH!
I am looking forward to the next book (hopefully there will be) Would be definitely epic to read one bout him being a dad :P HAHAHAHAHA
Last chance to go see him would be on the 8th&9th of September at the Curve area !:D
my baby bro has surpassed all creativity. not because he suddenly became great in terms of design but he has mastered the "fuss free yet looks cute and nice" way of doing cards. hahahaha even i am shocked lar. but let's not talk bout his colour sense. cause we both simply clash in that area-_-
every time i see handmade cards..i get...confused..hahaha-_-'' it's that fine line between appreciating someone's hard work for you and criticizing it cause people who study art are kanasai like this-_- very difficult and stressful if you ask me. sigh* you want to love it all but you can't cause you just feel like correcting this colour or changing that idea. gets so frustrating really.
having that said. at least confirm you will never see another same one anywhere and if you ask me. handmade cards only work if you did it for your girlfriend/close friends or if you at least have a decent design sense.
if not sad to say...i realized half the people throw handmade cards esp. after quite some time when it has either no meaning anymore (like you broke off or you don't fancy the admirer) or if it doesn't look pretty.
sad reality for something supposedly meaningful.
let's stick to expensive cards or stick it notes with doodles shall we?
or let's all pray that i have half a heart more to really appreciate from deep within.
whichever works.
but arh surprisingly..despite having this confused cold heart..i so far keep every single card i received the past yearsssssssssssss-_- maybe i really love cards (handmade or not) and just don't realize it.
it has been almost erm..lemme see....1 1/2 months since i last posted? so long ago!! considering it was sometimes 2 posts a day. i still write though, either they are all saved under drafts or i just turn to my pen and book style cause after a whole day of facing the comp, the last thing i need...is the comp staring back at me. *laughs*
and it IS getting funny when i go out and my real life friends ask how come i did not update my blog/stop blogging. oei! you guys are my friends!! ader telepon untuk aper?(what's the use of the phone) besides, i think you all hear from me a lot through MSN also riiiighhttt? (shows innocent look, actually long time since i MSN-ed as well)
anyway, just to make it up, last date i posted was....17th Jan. On the 17th Feb....i...got....into...an....accident.
yes. ms.bulat *ka boom bang* a car....or more like the car collided me...okay collide is such a strong word..more like "bump"? hahahahha-_- it was a small bump....it was...i guess indirectly it IS my fault cause i was talking about gym to 40tripleD that we both were so caught up in the conversation i forgot to put my signal that i wanted to park and ..."bump" it is.
the guy was a young malay guy who was on the way home after prayers....nothing serious happened and the guy's parents said it was alright and there was no need for any reports made or whatsoever.
i was just being happy, thinking "thank God"..or thank Allah. whichever works. but imagine my shock when i told people and they were like "What? he did not give you your I.C, how come you did not ask for it?" "well...I did...but he like never write and 40tripleD said it was my fault and i should give for formality, it is not important for him to do so?" "...you two never bang car before arh?" ( i do not know which kns friend said this-_- want us to die arh, seasoned car bumpers is it you...and need to band car to know wan meh?! in my case yeslarh...me and her both T_T)
anyway the top rated answer i had was.. "i think you got away cause the guy was prob driving underagelarh!!! can ask for y our I.C but cannot give his! what else"
.....what country am i living in larh-_-
anyway, have been really busy....i just started working part time...but i do not know why i feel even more work-_-'' as if in the end of the day i do not see the diff working full or half-_- maybe i work too slow. oh well.
have been caught up with this!!!!!!! it takes around 40 minutes to finish all the currently 26 episodes!(nah! busy also must spare timelarh, just go to the toilet less!) so cute can die. got it from an ex-classmate's blog: D
must watch okay!!! it is about 2 rabbits in a jail and later escaped for...well-_- you will see... for a silent cartoon, it gets better/funnier/lamer with every episode (so please bear the 1st 5 episodes cause it is not as funny as the later ones. trust me)
i love the red rabbit: D: D though the green one is stupider. i really love watching it and omg, the artwork is like *o* shingshing!!*
neumeister has all 26 episodes: D
either you wiki Usavich or click Kanaban Graphics the people behind it(makes you feel like joining them T_T) Click on the tab "works" and view the other cartoons(anime?) they did. Equally good and this Official Website is their official web.
どんな ひと (は/が?) なりたいですか。 donna hito (wa /ga?) naritaidesuka.
(what kind of person you would want to be in the future/wish to become)
obviously my grammar still sucks. cannot recall is a ga or wa.
i bet if someone asks me 15 years back, my answer would be way different.
and this feels like the "what do you want to be when you grow up?" question.
just that the tables are turned now.
or maybe it is structured in this way but the answer is supposed to be different cause you cannot really direct translate something from japan to english......let's just skip to the answers.
half the class said
"おかねもち" (rich person) okanemochi
some girl said
"せいこうしゃ" (successful) seikousya
Alexaさん said
" ほそい" (slim) hosoi
we laughed cause she was always eating in class. せんせい joked that her food always took up at least 3m of space on the table. but surprisingly せんせい likes ふとい(fat) healthy kind of fat, people. she says that looks healthy. in Japan, thin is healthy and fat is not. she was like "they must be losing their marbles to think like that."
when she asked me...i was stoning,
and in the end i mumbled.
”しあわせ”(happiness) shiawase
wanted to answer useful as well...but got cut off cause suddenly the meaning of being happy rose. "you would want to be a rich poor man, not a poor rich man"
was just the sentence given with no definate answer for it.
funnily,せんせい's answer was
”しんせつ”(kind) shinsetsu
this is darn difficult.
with life's bitches and it revolving around one another like tigers hogging on a boar's tail. sometimes i don't know how is one person going to be kind.
P.s//Katakana is difficult! it is so "boxy"-_- and i really should talk bout my new jap classmates's names...you seriously cannot imagine my face when i heard their names.
"sparkle san" "Lion san"
i laughed and snigger to myself.
Lion??
"sensei, lion...Leon is it?" "chotto matte" *pause* "iie, Lion desu"
*aduh* kepengsanan. this is as bad as the one i heard last time
"who shi Cookie. zhe ge shi wo de hao peng you, Milk" i know bulat isn't all better either. but but!!!! I really must admit defeat to these people! *ROAR*
Lunch edit: mom bought back "lui cha" for lunch. its just brown rice. chopped veggies and green soup with some minty tatse and thinks i would be happy since her friend and her daughter enjoyed it. and must add this sentence "it's healthy food marh"..i think it's more like just kena conned to pay RM3.50 for some cheapo ingredients. i'm sorry mom but i don't care if everyone says this is good, that is good and whatever is organic is good. PTUI* i tell you what is healthy. a balanced of everything, exercising and LAUGHING. that's healthy -_-
wahahahah.i just took yesterdays leftover meat. peanuts.sauce.eggs. mencampurkannya and it tatses 100 times better. but the soup...no matter what i do with it tatse like medicine...maybe cause i added rubbish into it...don't care..now i have cake to makan too. BANZAI: D
that day we went to the Curve, cause they wanted to check out Peek-A-Boo prices for haircuts. well to me it was ridiculously overpricedlarhs....or maybe cause i'm used to going cheapo saloons and getting cheapo haircuts thus my "zhao yong" hair everytime: P
sexay chan's mom is a hairdresser and she always say " don't they all grad from the same academy?!"
hahahahas next time i go cari your mom okay: P albeit in kuantans
i was eating this with 40tripleD, when money said " eh you place your spoon with food on the left side right, it's as if that thing on your shirt is makaning"
i don't recall whether got photo but it must have looked really stupids if there was.
and 40tripleD decided to punch in a few ideas. few small oneslarh. i bet half of you can do crazier ones. hahahahahaah ^^''
this came about cause 40tripleD says that it's as if the monster is eating my boobs. go figure...eating small pau T__T. then we were cracking up cause if 40tripleD wears it, the monster jaw will be stretched until...HMM...cannot larhs, her paus are simply too big.
the worse is the armpit one, whatever made her think of that?!!!! THank God she's not in the fashion line. CAN DIE CAN?! ~_~'''' she will force me walk around to advertise. i can FEEl it owready.
go play around: D makes me wanna take out my paintbrush and paint on people's tummy *already making up a list* and i thought there was a bear with cupcake on tummy?!! *takde!*T_T
but my brother insist that carebear is called "share bear" though i saw sharebear has lollipops and not cupcake...i think he just got irritated cause i was hogging the comp and saying some mantra " i want eat a lot bear!!!"
"jie....you want to eat the bear?" instantly "i want mum mum bear!!!!!!"
hahaha poor brother, has to stand this kns old old sistah: p
Stupidity of the day "i thought you brought yesterday's mabukness over to today tim! yesterday i saw Laundry bar the drink empty liaoworh!" "what..we 3 people share marh, you finished 1 jug of Banghra" I was like... "what bangali drink is thatlarh?"
it sucks to be stuck at home catching up with stalled work.
.work doing aeroplane run.
yarh suddenly my pile of work grew a pair of legs and is running faster than i can catch.
it sucks to be stuck at office with rain and no internet as well.
not that i mind a lil slacking or tea-time *Laughs*
but when it happens for 3 times a day it can get a lil frusfrating to off and on.off and on. plus work has been a lilllll frusfrating lately..like i said, it grew legs..i can't suddenly grow another pair of legs so that i can run twice as fast to catch it kan?
anyway, while waiting for rain to subside, 40tripleD finds joy in doing things like STAMPING my notebook and my hands with the company chop or just random chops....i went out that day with a COPY on my arm and another night with a SOLD chopped on me... -_-;;
besides chopping, the next thing would be of course, scribbling...(crapping is 24 hours wan okay and i can't sing cuase the rain will be heavier followed by thunderstorms.what else..)
.can guess kan? hahahaha we like to draw each other ugly:P..ok FINE. mine looks like me.
Scribbling on my NICE notebook is okay*quickly grabs it away and gives my another nice but NOT AS NICE notebook: P)
i guess today was the peaklarh. She was really at the peak of frusfrations and this is the side effects.
.please wait to see the changes.
..... . . . . . .
Oh.. she's very satisfied by it too and it's gonna be stuck in my book.
and oh. eats a heck loads of dessert which i entertainingly told ting n buaya.
"that day right,i weigh myself then i saw omg! heavy jorh! so i started to cut down on my food. few days later, i weighed again and saw oh! lighter than before quite a lot! and started on my makan spree, just to find out days later my mom shifted the weighing machine location. as the floor was uneven, thus the "lost weight" that day was the wrong weight and now im heavier than that 1st heavy weighing i did! zz!!!"
and thanks a whole lot to ting for sacrificing her entertainment so i can loot her lappie for a week. i guess i will need another alternative next week fast unless my boss confirms this. bleahz.
yesterday i was in mourning for my dear tablet..it has died once. revived and died again..this time i know its gone for good....as in....you know ultraman has that light that beeps ? well same as my tablet ..so unsteady lorh..im so the sad.......T_T..draw halfway the light went off..so boh song yesterday.....
