First week in MPharm Year 2
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 by Kiyu

I’m back in track in England have settled down nicely in my new flat. I still live on campus due to some very unforeseen last minute decisions last year, but I’m not complainging — I’m still close to everything and campus life in England is a very social one. The photo above shows the dressing corner of my room. I have a wardrobe, but I’ve always been fond of clothes racks to showcase your more original/pretty pieces of clothing. I reckon anyone interested in designing would benefit from having a rack instead of a drawer or a normal wardrobe! The long white garment at the front there is actually my ball gown from last year’s pharmacy ball :) I’ve met the new pharmacy freshers and they all looked a bit scared and overwhelmed. Hah, feels like it was only a month ago that I was a fresher myself! Oh well, I already have quite a bit of work to do only 3 days into the new year, but I’m a second year student now so I guess they expect us to work for a change.

I went to London on Friday to see some friends of mine I’ve been meaning to see for a full year now but never got around to. I saw this guy in Trafalgar Square and was so intrigued by it that I asked him to hold up the signs for me so that I could snap a photo. He refused and said he would do it on one condition: if I agreed to do what the sign said. I reluctantly did my bit by letting them take photo of me holding one of their signs, and there is now a slight possibility that I will be in their music video for their debute single on 4th October. Should be exciting.

It was SocMart yesterday, which means all the societies at my university set up stalls to try to convince you to join their society. I managed to join about 6 societies – Literature, Creative Writing, Hong Kong (I’m in the committee, actually), Pharmacy, Coctail and South-East-Asian. I also signed up for Ladies Society (female equivalent to a Gentleman’s Club, you know those posh ones you sometimes see in England) and Glee society, but I’m not entirely sure how I am going to juggle all this in addition to my studies. Sportsmart commences today as well, which is when all the sports club set up stalls and I might rejoin archery this year. I’m not sure. I wish there were 48 hrs in a day.
In any case, I just realized I forgot to tell you that I am the Creative Director in Hong Kong Society this year. My job is to do all the designing bit for logo, membership cards, business cards, tshirts and hoodies, leaflets, brochures etc. Basically anything that needs designing! Am I enjoying doing something creative again? Hell yes I am!

Tinkling sounds and aching melodies.
Saturday, September 5th, 2009 by Kiyu
Today, I was lured out of sleep before the clock struck 11 AM (my nights are long nowadays) by someone playing this in the house:
I was on the verge of tears. It brought back so many incredible memories from the time I played the game.
So I scrambled out of bed and downstairs to my brothers, and announced much to their joy; “I will dedicate today to video games.” It’s been a while, old buddy.
Listen to my story. This may be our last chance. - Tidus, Final Fantasy X

Naminé cosplay – yay or nay?
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 by Kiyu

Will I be able to pull off Naminé decently?
I got the idea a few days ago while I sat out in the sun and my brain was throwing up all these new ideas for sewing projects, when cosplaying suddenly came into mind. I am working on several cosplays simultanously, but I don’t have to rush them. I got loads of time until the ‘deadline’ :] And Naminé is so easy to do aswell. Just a simple, white dress!
If you want to see Naminé in action, go here and watch the video.
Wondering how the hell I’m going to pull off those blue eyes of hers? No sweat! I got blue lenses:
Well then, what do you think?
Yay or nay?
Cast your vote!

If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 by Kiyu
“If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined.
They’ll remain a part of each other’s lives no matter what.”

I adore this fruit so much, I can hardly explain it! If someone were ever to give me one, I’d be so delighted! Any of you who know me fairly well know that I hold this game very dear, I keep it in a safe place hidden deep in my heart. Only the keyblade can unlock my heart and remove my affection for it, and that will most likely never happen. It means something special to me that no other game or series or fandom has ever done before.
I think it is because it was the trigger to my gamer girl status, and the very first rpg game I played. I got hooked immediately. I had never before experienced such a sensation until Kingdom Hearts came along. After KH I got to try and borrow FFX from a friend and I was a sworn rpg gamer girl from there on.To sum it up, I have fairly much affection for the game, and therefore also the paopu fruit and its’ legend. Oh how I wish it would exist in real life!I couldn’t help myself. I just had to make a paopu fruit plushie!
