Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

What's your personality love style?

What type of personality do you have?

I am still emo-ing over the fact that I could not go to bon odori. *cries* never mind.. there are always next year.

At least last thursday manage to hav dinner and movie with ohanaya-san * i really thought he didn't want to go as he had lots of work to do but suddenly he said he wanted to watch a movie so off we go and watch hancock which was really good...

ok onto picture post

.. and if I managed to get in.. it'll be a miracle. Bah.. hopefully can see saiful tonite for supper.. hope he wouldn't have much work for today and would get back early. *feeling blurgh here*

Singapore trip is a blast. Cosfest is damn tiring. Will do a proper and longer pics-heavy blogpost about the whole trip later after I upload ALL the pics...

And to ehem.. whet ur appetite.. _deru I know u want izzu's 'coming of age' cosplay pics...
here is sum selected unedited, unphotoshopped pics courtesy of me...


And happy belated Bday to my dear dmjewelle . Wish you are with us.

And to all Malaysian cosplayers who attended cosfest.. WELL DONE!!!

I hate official letters.

Especially ones that tell you that 'dengan dukacitanya permohonan puan tidak berjaya." My transfer application was rejected. And that UKM interview thing.. also got rejected. But UiTM just called.... and said that they are interviewing me next week. My last hope?

Feeling so disappointed. I so wanted the job. Guess I'll just send in the Master application next and hope for the best. Like Dr Norlinah said - I can always reapply when I am doing my Masters. But then, right now feeling so dejected.

Never mind, tomorrow is a start of a long break.. Holiday in Singapore with ohanaya-san, sis and frenz.. so that should cheer me up.

Who would have thought  of that? Died of laughing gas?

Now I need to pay RM20 extra to fill up my Kelisa full tank. RM20 is my food budget for 2 days..!!! Buggerzzz...

What Women Want?

1. 92% of women would date a doctor, followed by lawyers, architects and property consultants (all 89%).
2. Athletes were considered the sexiest male profession (78%), followed by firemen (75%) and doctors (69%).
3. Whiles 67% of women consider male models sexy, only 56% would be willing to date one.
4. Male politicians were the lowest scorers on both dimensions. Only 31% of women would date a politician whilst a mere 14% found them sexy.
5. It seems women like a man in uniform with doctors, firefighters and pilots all scoring highly on both sex appeal and dateability. Architects also did well on both counts.
6. Although 78% of women would date an accountant, only 28% considered them sexy.
7. Nice guys finished last with social workers (28%) and male nurses (33%) close to the bottom of the sexiness ladder, although they fared significantly better on the dateability with 61% and 69% respectively.

What Men Think?

1. Men consider doctors and models the most dateable profession (92%), followed closely by nurses, airhostesses, dancers and musicians (all 88%).
2. 100% of men agreed that models were sexy, followed by dancers (96%), stewardesses (92%) and athletes (88%).
3. Few men would date builders (16%), politicians (20%) and firewomen (28%).
4. Female builders (15%), plumbers (19%) and politicians (23%) were the least sexy female professions, perhaps explaining why there has never been a builder or plumber Barbie.

---------------------------------------------
Dear.. sorry, engineers were not included in the survey but I personally feel engineers are very very sexy too.

Finished my interview.

They'll be calling me back after the department meeting early next month so we all will know whether I am coming back or not to KL after all these years by then. Also - if I get in - they are enrolling me to do my masters by the end of the year which is much earlier than what I originally plan for myself. But still - it is an opportunity if offered to me - I would not refuse. Dr Norlinah (my interviewer) pointed out that I am already well qualified to do my Masters so I might as well proceed straight and enroll in the programme.

BTW, told Dr Norlinah that most probably I'd be aiming for infectious disease. That is something I hav been thinking a lot lately and even my current boss are encouraging me towards it.

Met up with Tilla, Ikmal and Arif. All three of them were my uni mates who are already doing trainee lecturer. Tilla thinks that chances are very high of me getting that post. In fact, she even start to suggest that i rent an apartment nearer to the uni hospital once I am in the department. :) Man - it is always been a little dream of mine to hav my own place *my current place not count as it is considered as government quarters* Wonder what ohanaya-san say of this little plan of mine. Getting a place of our own in Cheras or Ampang? Though the place would be farther to his workplace...

Heck - I shouldn't even be thinking so far in the future. I'm not even confirmed of the post. But a little dreaming can't hurt right?

I am in love with this online shop...

GAWD WHY MY JAPANESE SO BAD!!!!!!!!! Really need to figure out how to buy from this site. Arghhhh...

*addiction to online sprees can lead you to bankruptcy but gawd that blouse is damn fucking cute... I want one...!!!!

Because everybody is doing it.

I am getting interviewed for that training lecturer spot on next Tuesday. Hope I can get in.

If I managed to get in -- that means I am coming home baby!!!!!! Goodbye state of Pahang (though too early to say that).

*prays for luck*

.. for cosfest.. *looking at sky_pegasus

Ruka just email that my dress probably be ready before cosfest and may need express posted from singapore so yeah..

Cosfest plan day 1 - Meroko Yui from Arina T - Full Moon wo sagashite
(the girl with pink hair and black dress)

but then remembering my last karaoke experience... *dies* but should I end up singing again and killing everyone within earshot in the process - I wanted to sing a Full Moon song... or Shugo Chara's "Hontou no Jibun"

On totally unrelated incident...
Today, a patient of mine kind of presented to me a marriage proposal

A.K.A I am certified nuts.. but gawd I bought not one but two EGL dresses.
Ohanaya-san is very amused. *but then again it's his loli maid fantasy come true so he has no objection to it*

And for atemu_mana
the dress camwhore piccies for you under the cut - forgive the poor lighting.

Got my passport so hikaraseru andsky_pegasus

----- we are going to cosfest as planned!!!!

Cosfest plan
Day 1 - ?????
Day 2 - Bianchi (manga cover version) -- after turning my closet upside down i found a plain orange tank top that exact colour so doing that. I am debating whether I wanted to do all the logos n stuff for the black pants. N also debating whether to do the ABARTH wording on the tank top. Got the chains and belt so yup.. shaping up nicely. I'll do a 'death' purple muffin cake near cosfest time.. or I'll just make inedible sandwiches or mini pizzas? Or i'll go ala code geass and become pizza delivery girl

Day 1 cosplay need to confirm later because I am not sure the dress would be ready by cosfest. if yes I am doing Meroko Yui artbook version. If not - I'll do random EGL

I first heard about the movie as I watched the oscar show and I just love Glen and Marketa's performance during that night. So I was so glad that they are showing the movie here. Went to pavillion and watched it with ohanaya-san. Totally blown away by the soundtrack. Ohanaya-san not really that impressed * but then his kind of music is more of Alicia Keys, Colbie Caillatt and Corrine Bailey-Rae (yes.. that was her name...finally I remember)

I am SO going to download the OST.
Vids of the songs


My favourite song..


my second favourite song from the movie

And bought my first EGL dress... squeee... *dream come true* and definitely going to buy another one after my gaji masuk next week. *Already saw a dress I am so dead set on. *

Ladies and gentleman - after this yours truly would be so broke but damn she does not care. No more ebay sprees for me because all my money is going to be spent on EGL dressess. *see what a speeding ticket did to my sanity. LOL*

And Uhu~uhu~hu cheesecake is just heavenly. My niece went into a sugar hyperdrive after 1 bite. LOL
