canis_m is strictly responsible for this, although man this was a long time in the making. i die from an overload of awesome every time i read this DRSK fic YOU SHOULD TOO (read it i mean, not die)

off again tomoz ugh am so tired of traveling. hope this is the last time this month. good night!

years ago there was this awesome animation illustrating how to tell which national football team was playing by observing the movement of the ball across the field, for example with France the ball was whisked so cleverly here there and everywhere but never actually landed in the goal. I wish I had saved it somehow



( random randoms incl bonus cat sketches )

feeling rebellious tired cross and hungry. i dunno man try as hard as i can i keep falling and hitting the ground instead of missing

my greatest achievement all weekend was to seriously have the flu, then check onemanga only to discover

UP TO DATE RAVAGES OF TIME IN ENGLISH!!!



i'm still seriously having the flu but i must celebrate in my own way (i.e. guo jia)

ONCE UPON A TIME, SQUALO LOVED DINO AND DINO DIDN'T LOVE HIM BACK UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE (DUMBASS)
in my sporadic DW surfing i found that bladderwrack had drawn a dino/squalo doujin for the "squalo is basically a fluffy man-eating sea-eagle" fic. i really love how in places it is presented in the manner of dino pulling together fragments of scenes and memories of his Lost Love ten years later. also did i mention a doujin in which adorable wee dino and even more adorable wee squalo (and his black over-the-knee socks) feature prominently. *_______* go forth and read!

THE BOOK OF IMAGINARY BEASTS : BOOK #17 : MONSTERS
i want to draw the coat of a thousand beasts!! also unicorn gijinkas *_* dear weekend come sooner so i can actually read the stories instead of speedskimming over lunch.

signups are open for book #18 with the theme WINTER. i will be all over that as soon as i am done with a) work (no more traveling til end oct yessss), b) drawing stuff I promised people, c) attending open houses of people i promised to attend, and d) incredibly delayed HERO pages. i am so hell bent on maximizing my productivity to waking hours ratio, i really do knit at traffic lights to make use of the 2+ hours a day i waste commuting.. WTB more hours in a week

i also blame prada for studding their shirts wth now i want to DIY stud all my shirts. aside from the whole aesthetic appeal i could traumatize the office metal detector at least four times a day.



sorry to the two people on my flist who might appreciate this.. hibari does not look at all like hibari. on a completely unrelated note, old Squalo = young Geirin lol

i think i have developed a fever and sore throat on the friday of a four-day weekend. holiday fail

crappy month totally negated by awesome weekend. for three days i reveled in the raucous company of humangz, HS girlfriends and family; accepted gifts of pork and chocolate cheesecake addressed in garish red icing to 'the womangz'; and allowed my nails to be done, like a privileged pony getting its hooves trimmed and oiled. also the light of my life took me to see a cartoon and buy shoes (studded shoes i can wear to work?? they exist) and eat japanese food. then we went home and fell asleep on beanbags watching the Belgium GP and missed the bit where someone's car caught fire and everyone crossed the finish line. definitely getting old



for our next trick we will... survive september

khr_undercover round 2 is killing me. mine is kind of a dead giveaway.. EVERYONE ELSE IS REALLY HARD TO GUESS guys throw me a bone already

ps. the GQ ojisan reunion party @ Takesushi is A+++

rabbitgirls celebrate fabulously fashionable friday:



YS freaked out when he saw their feet, you are not alone

while everyone has seen "Tan Hong Ming" this is the first time someone has linked me to this. literal translation:

(What is the name of your good friend?)
Girl: My good friend is Marion.
(OK if there was a boy who bullied Marion, what would you do?)
Girl: I would have to do, like this, and like that, and kick like this. Like this and this and this. Like this, that's how to do it.
(Children understand.)

a late RIP to Yasmin Ahmad; who understood, too.

attended an old shanghainese style wedding last weekend. as the bride and groom walked in this song was playing, all traditional chinese instruments, only it sounded.. familiar. as it got to the end of the chorus we realized it was

THE DORAEMON THEME SONG

the groom was probably nobita; knowing these guys though i have no idea if the bride was supposed to be shizuka or.. doraemon. but anyway, best wedding ever. i wore my new bimbo pink platform heels and i was 1) almost as tall as YS HAHAHAHA VICTORYYY 2) pretty sure i could feel my iq dropping all night. YS tactfully suggested we never go out in bangkok or beijing or shanghai with these things on my feet

*

i am very sorry for not replying to so many kind and amusing and downright lolarious LJ comments. still dead from the weekend and my iq is only slowly going back up after removing pink shoes. which i will draw and post pics of i promise! especially to lihsa cathy and omi who were kind enough to share with me pictures of your awesome / lusted after shoes, which i in turn am beginning to lust after.

in the meantime have a song that will never be played at ANYONE's wedding unless they kill it after the first verse

THE KILLERS - ROMEO & JULIET (DIRE STRAITS ACOUSTIC COVER)

i love this it is a such disgusting diehard display of the killers fanboying mark knopfler.

sorry guys there are just too many things on my mind. exhausted from doing what i can to resolve them and now drawing (albeit neglecting comic pages i should be colouring) is incredibly soothing. dumping these here since it is friday. IT'S FRIDAY, BE IN LOVE ALREADY



i want to be a weird fashion illustator like Laura Laine she is amazing. i'd rather draw shoes though. this was drawn at a cafe while waiting for a friend. i think i will continue this trend of rabbity girls with super looooooooong feet, even if it gives my rl friends the heebiejeebies

( bonus squalo head )

god this cheered me up SO MUCH today, you have no idea

( cut for shoe porn, or, dino making squalo wear 5in platform heel sandal boots )

crossposted from dw, BRB LJ sorry work proxy just doesn't like you. did you cheat on it or something

I'm suspicious if love don't leave no scars
between its kisses, its curses and its calm
you know it won't do if love's enough to eat
then we'd hunger and on the licks of love we'd feast
until we're ghosts of a memory



i'll toe the line, but damn these hungry times
just a little would taste so fine

D/S has officially achieved "jazz band AU doing Cousteau covers" status (yes this means in my personal headspace Dino sounds like an Italian Liam McKahey shhh A FANGIRL CAN DREAM OKAY). also, best cousteau song ever or best cousteau song ever TO THE EXTREME

man last night i tried so hard to stop time but i failed. let's enjoy monday

someone: why so romantic wan, turn on the lights la
light switch: /flips

ROOMFUL OF CONSULTANTS: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

happy friday! btw ALL PUBS WHOSE HAPPY HOURS STOP AT 7PM OFFICIALLY SUCK (KLCC I'M LOOKING AT YOU), what nonsense is this, some people don't get off work til like 9



Monday you could fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
oh Thursday doesn't even start
it's Friday, I'm in love

poster for YS's band. they wanted me to do a promo poster and I said I couldn't do caricature but I could draw them as animals.. to their credit they seem to enjoy being animals. although bassist should be a gorilla!! he resisted and wanted to be an ermine/weasel.

YS: that is awesome!!
YS: wait am i the panda, why is the panda so fat

LOL DENIAL, it's ok i love you anyway.

store: Zara, verdict: 10% is not a sale

store: MNG, verdict: FLOCKS OF VULTURES

final verdict: still need more working clothes, preferably structured dresses below RM150 thanks. I did finally get around to in-soling, spray-protecting and breaking in the swanky 3.75" kid suede heels from the CNY Isetan sale. everyone commented on my pained expression but also on my cute shoes; I lasted three days wearing the fuckers to office before switching back to 2" pumps. totally worth it: for three days I was almost 5'9"! I could see over the top of my car! I walked like a pimp! a beautiful lady checked me out! this last one spotted by the bf who was then uncertain as to whether to be jealous or proud

also considering adding this to my collection of sunday dresses (i.e. BRIE: HELP)



DEATH IN A COWBOY HAT, how could I resist. it would not be appropriate for church though

I behaved like a lady all weekend, then I came back and Reborn 246 was out

( amano akira please decide who is gar for squalo already (sort of spoilers but who am i kidding, this is reborn, you know what is going to happen) )
