Wallpaper is drawn, inked and colored by mayukkg.
Layout made based on “Celebrities: James Marsters -and when you are sleeping..." by amavel_bel  @ layouts_for_fun .

Mom uploaded this photo onto facebook weeks ago and it has been my desktop wallpaper since then.

He's so cute like that, looking as if he has just been caught red-handed for chewing the gloves.

Another 16 days to terrorizing my little puppy!!!

a few weeks ago, miya asked me whether Sherlock Holmes and Watson are a couple.

My conclusion, definitely a YES. XD

Now the remaining question is, who is the uke and who is the seme?

Sherlock Holmes: You've never complained about my methods before.
Dr. John Watson: I've never complained! When have I ever complained about you practicing the violin at three in the morning, or your mess? Your general lack of hygiene or the fact that you experiment on my dog?

还小的时候，老妈曾经说过。

你以为好朋友是一辈子的吗？

那时候我反驳她说好朋友为什么不可以一辈子？

现在想想，当时实在是太单纯了。

友情呢，不会因为距离太远各分两岸而忘记，也不会因为时间过得太快太多了而变淡。

有时候只需要一个男人或女人的出现就可以了。

老妈说，那是因为到最后，唯一会留在你身边的好朋友会是陪你走完人生的另一半。所以自然其他的好朋于就不需要了。

所以，当朋友就好。

Got depressed after seeing eye candy's non-human godly maya skills (for a year one like the rest of us) and went to MC1 instead to draw.

This is what came out....


Guess itz coz i have this photo as the wallpaper on my phone right now.... XD

*drools all over the SM Gaybert*

And wish that he had MTV for other songs on his album like Sleepwalker, etc etc.....

and a performance of another fav of mayu from his album

Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa. ~Hugh Elliott

[edited facts]

On friday, there was a car accident right down the road from our school to our dorm (where horobetsu town is).

It went so bad that the small two-lane road had to be closed by the police and our school buses had to take a round trip around noboribetsu before going to our dorm, thus our usual 10 minutes bus ride from school to dorm was extended to a 30 minutes bumpy ride that filled everyone with some sort of uncomfortable silence. (Esp when the radio of the bus suddenly decided to give us a belated halloween scare and screeched)

Yesterday, went to school and our teacher gave us a three quarter story. Judging from their looks on Friday, knew that it was serious but was till shocked to learn today that someone has died in the car accident.

Two cars were involved.

One was driven by a student from our school. He had a passenger in his car, which is actually against out school rules.

Another car was driven by a parent of a student from our school. Didn't really get catch everything that my teacher said but the parent,　seemed to be on his way to fetch his daughter from school or something akin to that.

The cars crashed. No idea why yet. And the parent's car flipped. Student driver from our school was also injured i think. But parent from the other car didn't regain conscious and died. >_< I can't imagine how the poor daughter would be, and how terrible the student driver would feel forever,

And then, it made me think of a cousin who is currently still lying in hospital after more than a month. He works at the harbor and during lunch just a month ago, he went back to his working area earlier, and a rope that tied some long metal rods (for construction use) that were hanging way way above his head (prob a few stories high up) broke. His head got hit by the rods.

He's lucky he survived.

But the point is, one minutes he was still a normal working person, the next, he's not.

Makes one wonder just how fragile life is.

So, taking XBox's famous slogan:

Life is short. Play now.

車同士が衝突、５５歳男性死亡　登別

Today, saw the photo of one of the cars on the newspaper today. It looked really bad.

And two policemen came this morning and talked to a girl from our dorm, probably the passenger ba...

And heard that the student driver from our school, and the daughter of the deceased are from the same course... >_<

Must be a nightmare for our school and everyone involved now.... people, please drive carefully. >_<

*drowns in drool and tears*

Sexual moves - Gackt does them to his mike, so Glambert's act towards humans are normal.
S&M theme? No problem. Malice Mizer's world in Illuminati was even more mindblowing.
Kissing the male keyboard player on tv? Priceless... though it came kind of a sudden? And no wonder the complains, but hey, like what Lambert said, he's not a babysitter. If parents let their kids watch tv after 11, it's their own responsibility.

Though, one problem.
PLEASE DON'T SCREECH WHILE RUNNING ALL OVER THE STAGE.

In nut shall, mayu prefers the song studio recorded.
But guess quality drops when you step out of the studio and onto a stage and perform live while running all over the stage leading men on leashes and kissing them... T^T

Still, definitely looking out for more of his performances.

*runs off to find downloads for *2012

He hasn't come to school for two weeks, and he hasn't logged onto Skype at all because my message has not been read yet.

The only time he replied my email was on the first day he was absent.

I'm more worried than i expected...

Scenario 1: he got sick. Maybe influenza? But the teacher would have notified us but even the teacher and the guy he always hang out with have no idea why he did not come to school. I'm not sure if the school has tried contacting him.

Scenario 2: He quit school, again.

Scenario 3: Something happened at home and he had to go back to Akita? But the school should know right? But obviously, the school doesn't know because everyday our sensei would be surprised to find him absent while taking attendance.

Scenario 4: Kena 誘拐　or dead? he rented an apartment some where and lives alone.

And i can't bring myself to call... orz

Just sent another email. Hopefully he will reply and say he's okay.... maybe he ran off with a motorcycle club, or maybe he simply decided that school was way too boring and decided to cut all ties to school.... arrrgggg.... why don't he just reply and say he's fine. Even a 元気です would be fine!

*sigh*

Watched this and my brains blew up.
I totally surprised myself with my complete fangirl-ization. Forgot how exciting it was to watch Gackt appear on tv. (guess thatz what i liked the most when he was on 堂本兄弟)



The only part which i don't like in the show, is of course when Gackt kissed this other TV artist (girl) lightly on the cheek as service.... T^T (This totally explains why I like Glambert, he's gay, no need to worry about seeing him kiss other girls.)

But well, Ono hugging Gackt scene managed to heal that little burn wound and then afterwards Gackt giving Ono one of his rings as Ono's birthday present wiped the previous kissing incident away.

And did i mention Sho had the cutest blank-look on his face? XD

And of everyone on the show, Gackt said that if he had to 付き合う with someone, he would choose matsujun. *nosebleeds and ignores shoes thrown at mayu by matsujun-haters*

Shit... now i feel so tempted to get a Gackt calendar and all his singles.... orz

00.
Was teaching my student chinese when i noticed that the printout that she printed at home and brought over to mayu's place is a B5 sized paper.

Now in this world, there are 2 series of papers. The A series and B series. Brought up in an A series world, B sized papers, have always been an alien species to mayu. Their sizes are simply... just not right.

You can't fit them into a normal file, you can't giap them in the foolscaps because they are smaller so sometimes they would fall out or slide all over the place.

So i asked my student why she printed on that paper instead of an A4 sized paper (note that i didn't even know what that size was called.)

She kinda stared wide-eyed at me like i was an alien. (a very cute one, not the predator or Aliens type of alien)

And that was when i learnt that, apparently, B5 was standard Japanese size for printing paper while A4 was standard size for American printing papers.

And that also explains why the notebooks in Japan are in B5 sized and they don't have A4 foolscap, which is a huge mystery solved because it has been bugging mayu ever since she couldn't find A4 sized foolscap papers at the 100yen shop.

So, mayu also went on to explain that in Singapore, almost all of our papers are in A4 sizes. Even those small notebooks which we use in primary school are half of an A4 paper so that we can just fold and slot printouts from the teacher into the notebook. And realised that my usage of the A4 foolscap (which i brought from SG) during lessons have always amused her to as it is American style to use A4 papers.

Still, the point here is not about paper sizes, but how Japanese separate the majority of things into basically, American and Japanese. (of course, this might be my generalization.)

For one, i've never considered A4 as American size. It is the world standard, or so i've been brought up believing. Or maybe globalization is really in truth another term for American imperialization and mayu has already been brainwashed into this Americanized world.

Anyway, back to the Japanese's world on American and Japanese!! As i've always suspected, it seems that for quite a number of them, their mental map of the world map is made of a few huge lands, mainly Japan, America, Europe and China.

Japan is of course, where the Japanese live.

American is where the majority of blue eyed gaijins live.

Europe is... probably where the rest of the blue eyed gaijins stay. And just the other day while watching a tv program which quizzes tv artists on world facts, a tv artist answered happily that Europe is a country. orz

And of course, well known fact that most Japanese think that China is where all the chinese in the world live.

Perfect example out of many is below conversation. While i was baitoing, an obasan asked me　
中国人？(Chinese National?)
いいえ。シンガポールから来ました。 (No, i'm from Singapore).
She stared at me like i was an idiot and didn't understand japanese and said, だから中国人だろう。 (So you are from China.)
＝＿＝ As Singlish go, please lah, use ur blain can or not ah??

And i think sadly, Malays and Indians generally don't exist in the majority of the Japanese's worlds. i have classmates who have NEVER seen a Malay or Indian before, and have no idea what languages they speak.... but well, they live in the ululated countryside so it is really not their fault.

Oh, i forgot Korea and Taiwan. These are the two other Asian countries in Asia along with Japan. because when most Japanese artists go on Asian tours, they go to Korean and Taiwan only and then declare that they have made their Asia tour and thank you to all the Asian fans that have supported them all this while. =_= For Johnnies fans, those that live in Thailand are lucky because at least Thailand exists in Mr Johnny's mental world map.

But all this, is again of course, not anyone's fault and my total over-generalization. But to explain why these number of people with such small worlds exist, it is simply the way the Japanese media and press presents the world to the society. The news focuses only on local news and the only foreign news are news from America. This shapes their mentality that all other countries are simply not as significant as American and Japan. It is just the same as mayu being brought up in a world of A4 papers, whole year round supply of "non-seasonal fruits, durians", and thus the mentality that you could run happily to the beach at any time of the year.

They say the world is getting smaller with globalization. But every single day here makes mayu feel like, the world is really very big and different.

Now just let me figure out which is bigger. B5 or B3?

01.
为什么这所学校的老师都这么超级无敌啰嗦？？

This morning, i spent one whole lesson (50 mins) listening to teachers nag the same old stuff all over again Must come to school, must not　欠席 too much because thatz what companies look into when they are staring at your 成績表, den must start preparing port folio, must keep making 作品 or else end up like senpais (not stated explicitly but from my induction) cannot find job because not enough 作品... etc etc etc.

Sometimes i wonder if they actually include nagging into their lesson planning. They never seem to run out of nagging topics as well as the time to complete the curriculum.

And again, welcome to the gap between B5 and A4.

It is at such times i really appreciate the SG education system where as soon as the teacher steps into the class and sits down, or takes his stand at the lecture desk, lesson starts. No nagging.

Or perhaps, it is simply that mayu has forgotten the nagginess of teachers from primary and secondary school. But NOTE, i agree that teachers have to nag, esp in primary and secondary schools where the majority of kids and teenages are still too wrapped up in pc games, hormones and teenage angst to be self-motivated enough to study.

But coming to a tertiary education, whether itz university, college, polytechnic or 専門学校、 i honestly believe that teachers should stop forcing the spoon down the student's throat and let them clean up the mess after themselves. if these kids don't study and fail, let them be, and for those who put an effort to study, good for them.

Harsh? A fair amount of spoonfeeding is nice once in a while, but here, our school is practically a babysitting club.

Of course, mayu has appreciated the babysitter culture of schools in Japan. *recalls ATW days*.

It is actually very nice to be a student in Japan, where you can be reasonably irresponsible and have teachers and parents babysit you all the way till you receive your graducation certifificate. I liked that when i came for ATW and all the teachers were so damn nice. Barely had to worry a single thing back then.

But long term wise, this is turning me into a baby, irresponsible and immature.

And this is probably why in Japan, all graduates enter their company in April and receive training which moulds and hammers them into adults at one go.

Good system or not? Japanese might look at the SG system and wide-eyed, gasp in horror that the SG educaton system is too harsh on kids. What would happen to those poor kids in the tertiary education system who require gentle nagging and help along the way to adulthood and workhood?

Well.... mayu doesn't know the answer to that, and the point here is not how to help these kids anyway, the point is, do Japanese school teachers really need to be so naggy?

Sadly, it seems yes.

Because it seems that, despite being 18 year olds going to 21 year olds, the maturity (not talking about sexual maturity) of the kids here are almost 5 years behind their peers of the age in some other parts of the world. Perhaps it is the lack of exposure, or perhaps students in Japan are generally allowed to be pampered. But seems that it is completely normal in our school to listen to the teacher nag for the entire one hour or two at tertiary education while mayu is heart-paining because her school fee is flowing down the drain.... orz

On a good day, the first period usually goes like this:

9.15 Lesson supposed to start.
9.20 Teacher comes in, slightly late because of meeting.
9.22 Begins calling attendance after finding his attendance book from the files he carried in.
9.30 Finish attendance, start making announcements.
9.35. If we are lucky, announcements has been finished without a few nags.
9.40 If not, we are still at the nagging part.
9.45 Teacher officially start teaching, But wait!! if there are printouts to distribute, this takes another 5 minutes to make sure everyone has gotten the printouts.
9.50 lessons officially bein.
10.05 1st period end. 10 minutes break until the next period.

The first thing a teacher always does when he enters class is to make announcements. In SG, announcements are made in 5 minutes or less. I mean just how much time do you need to announce one simply memo? You are not making the national day rally speech. But here, announcements can develop into long long nags. Like this:

9.15 Lesson supposed to start.
9.20 Teacher comes in, slightly late because of meeting.
9.22 Announce important announcement.
9.30 Start nagging about the contents of the announcement.
9.35 Start nagging about contents that are loosely related to the announcement.
9.40 Start nagging about contents that have no link to the announcement.
9.45 Still nagging....
9.50 Still nagging.
9.55. and nagging.
10.05 1st period end. 10 minutes break until the next period. Take attendance next period.

Of course, this doesn't happen on an every day basis, but still, mayu really find naggy teachers... erm, naggy.

but sadly, the world consists not only of mayu and people like mayu. So, mayu shall simply 我慢　and try to enjoy the nags as much as possible. *sigh* Hell,maybe some day i'll actually miss all those naggings.

But till then,
为什么这所学校的老师都这么超级无敌啰嗦？？

Woke up to no snow....

so comforted myself by watching Gackt videos... (Seems like recently i'be been falling back into lots of 坑 - Yugioh, Bleach, GW, Gackt... what's up next?)

不过我想我一辈子都不会改变的了就是。。。。 永远是个腐女。 (连同学都可以拿来腐) orz

anyway, suspect that since last year, G did something to his white pearly teeth. They look whiter and straighter. 用句句很雷的话，一笑倾国倾城阿。(mayu共和国)

然后又带着眼镜一副书生样。。。。*流口水ing*

一辈子做饭给我吃吧～ (我现在想吃猪脚酸 orz)

00. Rise and Snow!!
Woke up this morning planning to have breakfast, then drop back to bed before going to school for the sudden extra lesson which the teacher decided to to hold to prepare us for the kentei held next sunday.

As always, drew open my curtains when i woke up, and the most beautiful sight since mayu has arrived in horobetsu greeted mayu a very happy good morning.

Snow!!!!

Not wet yeeky snow that melts upon hitting the floor but dry powder snow that has settled over all the fields and trees throughout the night.


Virgin snow!!! With no foot steps or paw prints!!! Kinda made mayu want to just fly out into the streets and make snow angels all over the white powder. XD


This reminds mayu of her first train trip with miya from Tokyo to Hokkaido. This is exactly the sight that greeted mayu after a long night of travelling from Akita. The true Hokkaido!!!


The snow machine factory right beside us across the street. mayu hasn't woken up early or slept late enough to see the machine work though.


Zooming in onto the snow covered trees!! This feels quite Christmas~~~ XD


my window.

And so after the wondering greeting of snow, decided the throw away my plans of snuggling back to bed and instead skyped miya to show her the beautiful snow~~ XD

01. Welcoming the year 2010
And discussed with her regarding the calendars and decided to buy two gintama and 2 bleach calendars.


Gintama Q version. 2010 version of the one i have in my dorm now that Ros has given me!! XD
Right now, buying 4 of this calendar. For miya, Ros, Ros's sis and myself.

And Bleach Calendar A


And Bleach Calendar B


For anyone who is interested in ordering the calendars from Animate together, do let me know by tomorrow night (Sunday) so that i can place orders~~ XD

02.
Took more photos while going to school for the sudden lesson that our teacher insisted so as to prepare us for our 検定 next week.

In other words, 4 hours of spoon-feeding from our teacher for some of my classmates who probably require such teaching methods?

The teacher means good, and is trying to do his best teaching us and getting us to memorize all the stuff in the textbook.

What i don't get is why he even bothers so much (ok i get it, one reason is prob for the school's reputation, another is prob his passion and sense of responsibility).

When he calls some students to answer, they can just reply in 2 seconds "分からない" without even trying. =_=

And no wonder he hates his hometown.

anyway, onto the photos.


The snow was melting because of the rising sun!!! T^T


Just one week ago, the shrubs across the road were a golden brown. Now they are almost bare.


Blue sky. It was still snowing actually.


Itz strange how when it snows, the familiar scenes turn unfamiliar.


Feels as if i've stepped into Hogsmeade in early winter. XD

Was still snowing when i took the 5pm bus back to dorm, but the remaining snow on the ground were hard and ice had already formed over the ground... T^T

Hopefully, tomorrow will be another white snowy day!!

03. Explore. Dream. Discover
My website is offically up!!



mayu finally gave up waiting for her teacher to upload (not even sure if he's gonna do it or not) and so begun the surprisingly fast and easy project of uploading it. Anyway, while uploading, discovered some bugs (capitalized alphabets) and was ready to vomit blood debugging all my silly mistakes.

Still, it is up (just that if you search it in the search engine it won't appear beause no one visits it).

AND, english version is NOT up yet.
AND, new works after August are also not updated.
AND miya is helping me improve my japanese grammar.

In other words, still under minor constructions.

But still, please check it out! XD

04.
On to the never ending rendering.

mayu hates the word "rendering".

A few reasons.
One, rendering takes bloody long.
Two, given the million ways of rendering, software rendering, hardware rendering etc etc and all those setting which mayu understands zilch.... rendering is terrifying.
Three... erm, just hate it.

Anyway, mayu has no idea why, but she ended up with 10 Tga files when she should have only ONE. (hence the never ending overnight rendering). ORZ

and have no idea whether they are the exactly the same or are actually different. (they look the same to me O_o)

*sigh*

to hell with rendering skills.





and no, mayu doesn't intend to re-render. So whatever mistakes or weird stuff, just point it out here. mayu would mope over them abit and then try harder next time. ^^

*叹*
但不管我做得再怎么样，也都没有某人的好看。。。。T^T
why is he so damn good in everything i am not? *泪奔*

00.
Woke up this morning to be greeted by a blanket of snow over the small town of horobetsu.

Yes, it snowed last night and thus thin sheets of pure white were covering the streets of horobetsu when mayu woke up. Sadly, it was already starting to melt because the sun had came out.


Taken one week ago, when the leaves have turned from a crimson red to a golden brown


Late autumn


Taken on last Saturday. Strong winds and heavy rain and huge waves!!


Thin layer of snow on the streets that melted soon afterwards.


Actually snowing wet snow when i was taking this photo. But the snow didn't show up in the photo.... orz


Random photo of the shiroikoibito chocolate that fumie made for mayu when she visited the 知りおい恋人公園. ^^

01.
And still on my maya room.
Yesterday's


Today's

Added a luminance texture for the lights so that they look more like lights.
Then adjusted the lights again. Made the room even darker, (but might lighten it again tmr), put focused on the table and added Jay's Secret score on the table. XD (Sonia says that my room us turning into a bar, i agree but heck, Eyecandy's room looks like a palace so my bar is reasonable)

Added shadows, discovered i had no idea how to use the ray tracing shadow (i cannot see the shadow)... so ended up using depth map shadow... which is prob not that good?

Still seeking advices and comments!!! (Like weird spots, weird textures, uncoordinated colors etc etc)

01.
温度急速下降。

今天早上起来也不知道是怎么样从温暖的被窝里 爬出来去开暖炉。前几天开着暖炉的时候还会散出种怪味，而且还一度冒烟。。。orz 还好现在已经没事了。

然后等巴士来的时候呼出来的气都变成烟了。

还好fumie给的外套真的是很温暖。

02.
下课后赶回来教英文/中文。

然后才想起今天在学校做的maya animation 忘了交上去。orz

反正老师也没有说清楚什么时候需要交。。。。就当作忘了好了。


03.
教完课后搭学生的车去邮政局。

明明才5点半天却完全黑了。

学生本来还不放心让我一个人走回去。但还是想一个人走回去所以今年第一次用了miya送的耳罩。

但走到一半还蛮后悔的。

从与政局走回寮的路程，有一半是路灯的。另外一半的路程是几乎没有路灯，但至少路旁还有几间看是满温馨的房子。但就在路途上的正中点，有一个拐弯处是几乎一片漆黑的。拐弯处的交口是一个几乎没有人去的神社，然后四周是没有房子的原野和一小片工地。

走过这个被树木遮住了的神社时候真的时候会死以前看这么多USO Japan....

怕死有什么东西跳出来，前后又每次都没有人。orz

*叹*

春天快点来吧。。。

04.
Have been staying back in school every week day till the last bus at 7pm to make my room.

And here's the almost completed image.



Still making lights, adjusting the lighting and haven't put the shadows yet. Anyway, the lighting here is quite bad actually. >_<

The angle of the camera would be roughly the same, except i would zoom out abit more (prob have to delete some parts of the wall behind) so that i can capture more of the bar and the loft above.

And thinking whether to model any thing for my empty dining table. But this is already almost image over-load (because mayu didn't plan properly at first and beveled, smoothed too much stuff, and not to mention lofted and revolved objects with too many edges and faces =_=)

And actually intended to put an image of some night city or sky outside the window.... but sticking to the current reflection might be good too.... hmm...

any comments or advices? My color coordination is terrible and so am currently seeking help desperately.
