Of Pranks and...April FOOLS!

Hey guys! .......And Girls! Haha, been a week or so since I last posted. Anyway, today I'm feeling especially hardworking. So therefore another new post =D. I'm just not sure if people even bother reading my blog which...talks about my experiences and nothing else. I mean...who wants to read about other peoples life right? (Except maybe..if they were famous .____. I'm.... not)

So yeah, I've been looking at the pageviews and traffic is..not bad so to say. I am getting views but..what I was wondering was if people actually read the things I post. Sometimes I post on Facebook and I do know of some people who reads the stuff I post. Oh wai- *slaps self* I am derailing my own blog post now. Back to the main topic! All of you may have or more like have been pranked on that one day in April. Where pranks are everywhere, where trust is tested, where you are betrayed for that one day, where....yeah you doubt yourself and your trust. That day is none other than.. *drumrooooooooolls* DUN DUN DUNNNNNN, APRIL FOOLS!

Yeah, that. So I've been pranked, pulled a prank(actually many pranks), and pranked with. This year, was a year, I made a prank that involved planning a month ahead. Then so begins...the story...of the 2013 April Fools Prank.

It was a day like any other, I was talking to my mom. My mom was talking to me (well why not? We were talking.) She told me about how dad was supposed to go to Nigeria years ago when I was still a kid as an engineer for Esso. He declined due to me being young and my younger sis still an infant. She told me how he could have returned with enough money to retire. But bygones be bygones, now there was when I came up with an idea. I told my girlfriend, that I may have to follow my dad to Nigeria on a work contract. Wait a few weeks for confirmation. Two weeks later, I told her it was confirmed. I'd be leaving on the 31st of March. Would probably be in Nigeria for a week or so to survey the work environment with dad before anything else. It was of course to be a night flight. So the prank was set in motion. I felt guilty seeing her worried about me but I told myself, it's just a few days to go. Hold it in boy. I told her this on the 27th of March. So on the 31st, 3pm. I got online to pretend that I was leaving soon for the airport, bid my farewells.

Her face...was downcast. 3.30pm I couldn't do it anymore. When she asked which airport I'd be at the conversation went as follow.

Her > Dear...which airport will you be at?

Me> Hmmm guess?

Her> KLIA?

Me> nope nope
Her> LCCT?

Me> Nope.

Her> EH??? Don't la like that...which airport? And don't tell me you'll fly there.
Me> Yeah I'd grow wings and fly there =D
Her> *gives me the skeptical look*  What...seriously la dearrrr *frustrated*
Me> Guess la =P
Her> LCCT...? =I

Me> nope =P
Her> Eh don't tell me you're not going  or something =I
Me> *give her that grin*
Her> Huh...? Why you grinning!? Oh...Oh...
Me> Happy...Be-early April Fools dear =P

And then it was a load of her being shy and embarassed and all, but that was cute =)

All in all it ended on a happy note and also..I was glad that she was so worried about me. To that extent. I love you dear =) And no worries, no more pranks like this. I don't use the same pranks twice anyway.

THAT WAS JUST PART 1 of my big APRIL FOOL. 

This is...a prank that I planned due to the reason I'm turning twenty soon. With the end of my teenage years, I wanted to end it with a teenage bang. =)

Stay tuned for Part Two.

Of...passing and respect.

Well, after a year, age sure catches up fast. I can't say much. Just last year I lost someone I loved dearly, the memories we spent together and the times we had as she looked after me while I grew up. I am talking about my dear grandmother on my dad's side. She's still remembered with fond memories. Just a three days ago, on the 31st of March 2013, it was then that my other grandmother from my mother's side, left this world. I am now officially grandparent-less, having lost both grandfathers when I was uh....12-ish?

Can't say I was really close to my grandmother on mom's side. Just the occasional greetings during Chinese New Year. But I respected her all the same, for she single-handedly brought up 7 kids. That's no simple feat. All I can remember of her was this stern figure, scary at times and she was probably the main reason why my mom is such a strict person (not that I'm complainign much, I love you mom!)

So yeah, here's to her memory

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all from me for now, and it's gettig late. We just finished the burning the ashes yesterday and today marks the final day of the ceremony where we put the ashes to rest.

 P.S: I didn't post this up earlier cause, people might think it was an April Fools prank...since some people can't take a prank. Oh well, one thing here, I won't ever use death as a prank.

 Cheers~

Of memories and how they eat us

Three months into the new year. Everyone getting used to 2013? I am. It's like every other year. So yeah, semester break is....kinda laid back. I'm just reading novels and reading more novels and doing some doodles. Nothing much to do (none that I can come up with that is). 

Back to the main title. When I'm bored I sometimes tend to think. Have you ever felt the overwhelming flow of memories that happens when you keep on thinking and remembering? Yeah, some reason I've been thinking and going down memory lane. Good or bad memories, don't ask. That's how I came up with this doodle a long while back...which was a four parter of what I was thinking. Oh well, here you go.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Holding on to what I think is safe
I was afraid
If I was wrong
Am I brave enough to let you in?
What is it that you see in me?
Without me on your mind
You could have lived a different life

[~01~]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I..hate going down memory lane. Nuff' said.

P.S: Emo...maybe, maybe not.

Cheers all!

Of souvenirs and missing

So here I am again. Posting again. Cause..I just wanna post (makes myself sound hardworking..*shot*). Anyway, hope everything's fine over wherever you are, cause I'm totally enjoying my rest period. Why? Cause I'm on SEMESTER BREAK! BAHAHAHAAH. .___. It's actually very boring. Trust me. With no plans...even if there was plans...there's no $$ (Life of a student). Why my predicament...due to irregular class hours, there's no time to get a part time job. Then my allowance, it all goes to college, travel, transport, survival (meals I mean), and some other college materials. Sigh....But oh well, that's not what I wanted to talk about today.

Remember my last post? Yeah, she's finally back! I'm so glad too. Even got to meet her the next day after she got back and she got me some stuff. I missed her, not much a little minimally.....a lot? Some of the stuff that happened over at facebook...while she was away.

[Day 1]
So begins my week. Sunday. She's off to her holiday. Tossed a little and her sweater didn't help much. I guess, yeah..I missed talking into the late night with her.

[Day 2]
Been reading, talking with people. She came on and...I wasn't home to chat. She left a message though, and I left her one too. Miss her but slowly getting used to it. Finally felt what she felt when I went on a holiday.

[Day 3]
Day three without her around. Nothing much. Doing my revision for final exam for this semester. Read the notes, revised a bit. Chatted with some people. Sigh...ok, who am I kidding. I miss her. A lot. She came on to chat and that makes it..4 days to go =) Oh joy.

[Day4]
Yes, it's kinda becoming like a diary. That only lasts a week though. So, today was marketing exam. Didn't do much. Found this new game/app for iPad, android and iPhone. Elphis. Kinda Maple-like. Very nostalgic. I still miss her but it's just another three days to go. Oh, and she didn't get to ride on sheeps...pity.

[Day 5]
It's finally day 5. She came on in the morning, managed to catch her for a brief moment. She got her results for SPM today too. Checked it via SMS for her since she's over in another country. It wasn't bad. I'd say she did well. She didn't seem dejected, neither was she elated. Prepared for Moral and History paper. Finally it's gonna be done and over with. Two days to go. =)

[Day 6]
It's finally today. She's back. Also my last diary-like post. :)

It wasn't really that bad..when she wasn't around, cause she still came online to chat for a bit. So she came back with some candy for me (she knows me so well TwT) Cannndddyyyyyyyyyy

Two bags of eucalyptus candy and...some egg like...chewing gum. She told me the shopkeeper told her that it's not as hard as it looks...or feel. But....It feels pretty damn hard when I held it. Here's some pictures of what she got me =)

Tasty, sweet, cooling eucalyptus candy and that hard-egg-chewing-gum-thingy

It's the size of my..ok almost the size of my palm.

That's..the first time seeing a chewing gum that huge. Oh well, gonna try eating it later..some time this week.

Yeah, long post with just two pictures +)

Cheers all =D

Of exams and holidays

So, it's been a month. As usual. Procrastination.

How's everyone I wonder? Life for me is pretty much the same. Ending my semester soon and currently facing the final papers of this semester's subjects. Just when I thought I'm done with history and such from highschool and SPM (that's Sijil Pengajian Malaysia. Like somekind of final paper to test your knowledge of highschool life. For people who have no idea). Worst still, they even scaled it down to just Malaysian history. I mean, it wouldn't be so bad if it was about the world. War, World War, why this country hated that country, why this country invaded that country. Those kinds of things would've made history a little more interesting no? With the blood and gore and bombs and decapitated bodie- *cough* I mean the carnage and disaster and how the world rebuilt itself. That's real education. I'mma..stone. *turns to rock*

Sigh...Can't complain much anymore now. Just took my Marketing Principles paper today, and..I don't have high hopes. At the most B+?    >__< Sorry mom. Next is Moral and History..Malaysian History. With that done, I'll be free on holiday! Semester break and I get two weeks off. Time to catch up on sleep and enjoying myself lazing about. Speaking of which, holidays.

My dearest girlfriend went to Australia for her holiday. For a week. For...one...whole week. One whole long week. Seven days. 168 hours. 

.___. Yes. I miss her. A lot. 

But with exams on my mind, I can't think about her much, except when I do..GAAAHHHH I MISS HER QAQ

Before she left, she left me one of her sweater. Her favorite sweater so I can hug it if I miss her too much. *hugs sweater* IT'S JUST NOT THE SAMMMMEEEE Q_Q

She said cause I gave her mine, she thought I should have one of hers. I don't mind really except for the fact it won't fit but mine can...fit her I mean. Speaking of which, this was awhile back but her mom actually bought a sweater for me.

The grey one. It's comfy too.

So, her mom had this idea to get me and my girlfriend matching sweaters. Matching red sweaters mind you. But then, since I already had a red one, my girlfriend told her mom that, and so she got a red one and I got a grey one. =I

So much for matching though I can't complain much cause it's a gift and it's very comfortable too! Definitely going into the list of my favorite sweaters. There's four of them in my list so far, and that's because, I only have four not including this. =D So I love them all comfy sweaters! Thanks again aunty! Thanks so so so much!

And another picture on sweater

They look...kinda matching despite the color o_o

Ignore the messy bed, the black and grey one. That's my girlfriend's. =)
Anyway, come back safely and swiftly to me Q____Q I miss you lots.

Cheers!

Stay tuned for more...I hope

Backlogged of A Christmas Post

Hey people, been away. Again. For sometime. Again. Therefore "Blogging More" will never be in my resolution. Cause it never works out. My attention span is just too short. I'll just post whenever something comes up or if I get a sudden drive to put up something. WHICH like today, the thought of a past post came to mind. So here goes you people-out-there-who-I-do-not-know-or-may-have-known-but-is-unsure-if-anybody-actually-reads-my-blog-ever. 

Sometime ago, say back about two months, in a time where people envision snow fall and snowflakes, green fir trees, boxes nicely wrapped up. Yes, I'm talking about Christmas. I got up one day and was cracking my head up for an idea. Why?

TO THINK OF A GIFT FOR MY GIRLFRIEND 

Duh. So, I've been making paperclay figures and I thought I'd make one this time around. How to make it special though!? That's where I was stuck. Till I stumbled happened across the word "Diorama". Google it. It's nice. 

To put it simply, a diorama is simply a scenery or a small scene of something in a container to depict something. So yeah....if you're still unclear...I'll post pictures.

Yeap, a Christmas Diorama with Rillakuma.

This is what a simple...SUPER SUPER simple diorama looks like. Just some mini props, a background and a container.

The Main Props

So if any of you want a simple tutorial on how I did this, do ask. I don't bite. At All I think.

That's all for today I guess. 

Cheers~

Vincent.

P.S: I actually made two Rillakumas.

Of Valentine's and..Valentine's~

*Wonders if anyone still reads this blog*

Anyway, for politeness sake, hello everybody! Back again with a new post. As the title suggests, on Valentine's.

What is Valentine's...that's an age old question. With how the masses think and get manipulated, it's safe to say, most think of it as a special day where couples get together, where the boy confesses to his heartache, where the girl gives chocolates AND confesses to her own heartache. But anyway, on a more general term, it's a day for loved ones. Definition? Family, close friends, and...more friends and family! That's how it is. For me. That is. I mean. That's how it is for me. There, that sounds so much better. =D

So anyway, enough of theory crap. I shall be the mass for today and follow the herd. This shall be, a post for that one person. You know who you are. =)

I used to say like but, now I love her because of one of many reason. (The list will be long so..I'll just post beeeeeeg main ones)

- She is there for me, whenever I feel down

- She is cares and worries for me a lot. (Sometimes a bit more than a lot, but I know for the right reasons)

- She would do what is important to keep this relationship going. (As will I)

- She bakes me cookies.( What? They're super awesome!)

- She knows when I'm not myself, and tries to cheer me up.

- She would hold my hands close and tight, as if afraid of losing me.

- She would surprise me with her random thoughts sometimes.

- She would caress my cheeks gently and hold me close.

- She doesn't mind my weirdness at all.

- She shares her problems and worries with me so we can get through it together.

- She accepts me for what, who, how I am.

- She..would be shy but it's cute to look at and when she messes around with me (or try to) in a good way, her effort makes her cute, and I can't help but play along.

And much much much much more. But wait...it all sounds...too perfect. What are likes, without dislikes? I have..some things that I've spoken to her about and yes, it's just that few things, that we solved together but well here goes.

- She lives..quite far away. About an hours plus journey, yet it's not much of a problem.

- She is too shy sometimes, even when it's just her and me.

- She unknowingly flirts/overly-friendly/uses her charms on other guys. (YES. I'm a guy. I get jealous too =I )

- She doesn't give me cookies much. (WHAT!?  D=  Like I said, it's awesomeeeee)

>__< Yeah that's about it on my part. But mainly what makes me love her, what makes me find it worthwhile, what makes me cherish this relationship is because of this.

Yes. It's that smile of hers. It's heartwarming.

When she smiles, it makes me feel like, everything is fine. It just makes me smile along. She knows this but I can tell when she forces it. =)

So dear, talk to me when you have a problem. You promised. So we can get it over with together. =)

Cheers all~  =)
