Dotting stars

I felt like dotting some stars. I'm not sure why there is such a decline in quality when I open my file as a jpg and when I view it as a submission. I've seen this happen quite a lot to my pieces. Not sure if it's because I keep on converting between SAI and PSD files on SAI and Photoshop. This happens even if I do not resize my pictures (i.e. this picture).

Going to hang out with Chris tomorrow and avoid temperatures of 36-39 degrees by staying in strictly air conditioned buildings. Yay.

 My package also arrived today! I'll write about it another time:)

Birthday gift from King--

*ugly crying*

King-sama is too kind. To be honest I was sort of upset from mid to end of December last year (and no one remembers my birthday anyway because it's so close to Christmas/ friends are on holidays/ nobody who curr about miii). I haven't really been anywhere on the internet except for AFF for a few months.

I really can't believe King remembered from early 2011.

Nurse Joy said happy birthday to me in Pokemon White. Because I am a loser with no friends and I played Pokemon for most of the day on my birthday. Just joking. I was actually called to work.

Birthday gift from Liz and Jonathan. We won this at Galaxy World! Actually, neither of them knew it was my birthday the day after we won it (and they still don't) but it's very touching that they would still win me this huge toy because I said I wanted it. I love this Rilakkuma!

Christmas gift from Wilson. My red 3DS is so classy now. I gave him three Angry Birds key chains.

We hung around until very late on Christmas Eve and had Japanese food. Afterwards, we braved the rain to see the Christmas displays at Myer and the Christmas tree at Martin Place. Martin Place train station was a riot. Every single advertisement on the platform, the escalator, and the tunnel going outside was for Apple's ipod mini. I'm not even joking. We then stayed at Pancakes on the Rocks and got through half a portion of short stacks:D

Edwin also gave me a rectangular box of chocolates from Haigh's (the new fancy chocolate shop from QVB). Fruit chocolates with liquor. They were delicious. I used to be a little wary of him, but he is definitely a nice guy.

I went to see the NYE fireworks with Tu, tall Alvin, and Tim. Due to lack of planning (not on my part of course!) things did not go smoothly. But all in all, it was still a great night and we had fun. I managed to get home just before 3am! 

Love sick

Constant artblock! I haven't drawn in so long, my anatomy is going backwards and getting worse and worse... if that's possible. I did a rough one of Exit Tune's new Vocaloid 3 Mayu yesterday. I love that she's a yandere goth loli. She even has an axe covered with sweet loli bows:DD

Does anyone think her design is really similar to Namine Ritsu's? Or is it just me?

Seriously, it took me ages to figure out what was happening in SAI. I thought that my canvas size was displayed on the side, and I was wondering why every time I did a short-cut for changing sizes, it wasn't displayed at the side. Turns out I was looking at opacity the entire time orz. Fail much...? I'd like to draw more, but it's not coming to me. Maybe after I finish playing the last route of 999, Kirby Mass Attack, and finishing off PKMN White?

I PRE-ORDERED NAMIE-KUN'S NEW ARTBOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO ZOMG. Get your pre-order of Phantasmagoria here. My only doujin purchase of this year. I know it'll be worth it because I enjoyed her last Touhou release immensely.

I've been feeling really love sick recently. Not sure how though because it doesn't make sense. But I'm feeling it. My layyydehhhh, baybehhh dunnn creyyyy x 1000 EXO feels.

My birthday is coming up this weekend! I gave a huge shopping list for my friend in HK. Haha, so that's where the money from my new job is going huh.

I'd also like to do a mass post of my artbook collection and all the nice makeup I've accumulated in 2012. 

Kids Alpacasso; べーJr.

My friend Alanna won him from the UFO machines at the Capitol. He's so, so, soooooo cute >__<

His little tail... little feet...floppy ears... furrrrrr (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) But don't worry Tofu, I haven't forgotten about your cuteness.

I cannot.

Ever since I saw Kris from Exo-M carry around his son Ace... I thought these alpacas were cute.

Old drawing

 It got compressed to ugly! ;u; HQ version available @anipan and @dA I haven't uploaded it at pixiv yet >_>

I saw Nu'est and RLAB

So stressed... the day before yesterday, my usb decided to corrupt/ delete everything on it by itself (along with my written drafts...). I had not backed up my drafts for around 9 days because I've been working off my usb in the labs and studying (i.e., not writing) at home. I had re-written at least 10 paragraphs and not re-saved them onto my laptop or anywhere else. Stupid, I know.

Luckily, I managed to recover my introduction and results draft, but the usb decided to eat up my method draft and some of the random ideas and references I had for my discussion. Lesson learned. SAVE EVERYWHERE. Everything you think that may go wrong will go wrong D: Just like that time I snapped my glasses whilst changing into uniform on the day of a very, very important 9am exam. I can't see 10cm in front of me without glasses...

It's times like these, you need to ROLL LIKE A BUFFALO*.

* patiently waiting for EXO's comeback. Are they really going to release 'Let Out the Beast'? Please say yessssss. And 'Baby Don't Cry'.

I saw Nu'est a few weeks ago! Ren is really, really, pretty in person (tall and slim) and Aron's American accent ;lakjdf;kajsf;asd. JR is very handsome, and his smile (!) makes you want to smile too. Baekho's so sweet. When it wasn't his turn to dance or sing, he broke out of his position to wave to the audience~ and he waved in my general direction hahaha...  I didn't pay much attention to Minhyun coz I was too busy staring at Ren and Aron:/

I lined up for 4 hours, and just managed to get inside-- only the first 700 or so people were allowed inside the venue. I met some really nice girls in the line. They went to the Nu'est fanmeet at 7am (skipped school), then went to the kpop store in China Town-- and bumped into Nu'est there! Lucky girls. I think it's really cute how they brought presents and handwritten notes for the boys.

Candice (who I met in line) got her shirt signed by Aron. She almost got a hug from him too! 

Le blurry phone photo of the ticket

Girls I met in line... they were really nice and fun to talk to :D

So many fangirls running out of their seats after 'Face'. Nu'est all simultaneously took five steps back. 

So much screaming... 

This was Nu'est's tour van. No joke. There were multiple suns on the side of the van. Their manager is pretty good looking >_>

Uh, I was waiting for my dad to pick up at the gate 2 carpark @ UNSW around two hours after the event... and guess who I bumped into. So many people screaming when they came out. I guess there were only around 80 or so people waiting outside. Baekho did a heart from the window. Awwww. I waved at him again:)

The event was great! There were 10 singing acts and 10 dancing acts.

The group that won first prize for the dance competition did an amazing cover of SHINee's 'Sherlock'. Two dance groups did EXO-K's version of 'History' and Nu'est asked them why they didn't choose one of their songs to do a dance cover lol. There were also dance covers of  2NE1's 'I Am the Best', SHINee's 'Lucifer', SHINee's 'Love Like Oxygen' and some MissA and 2PM. I clearly only remembered SHINee stuff.

Time to get some motivation and back to late night working!

/I will come out of my cave in around a month and a half.

More Reimu

Yeah. I don't really like this, but whatever, I had fun attempting to paint a background.
