Pandarific!!

I Passes my undang!! yay!! i got 47/50, happy happy! lol the place is quite sad if you ask me, one rented shop lot, two computers, old pin up announcements all around, very very sad waiting area. And the computer system is offline for 5 days, so good thing i have a booking.

No it's not too late to say Happy 2009 cause it's still 2009, and it'll be for let's see, the next 353 days! So for those who are wondering how the ISC (international students camp) went, you'll have to ask me, cause honestly, there's too much to say that i might forget/get tired when writing it, pluse u have to hear all the stories with my expression, lol perasanted. Yesterday was my birthday, yeah, so didn't do much except go out for lunch with schoolfriends, and dinner with family. But it was a cool birthday, technically i'm 18 so it's considered a milestone, oh boy.

The thing is, the day before, i was bombarded with what i call the 4 big problems of life, yea, just the thing i needed a day before my birthday. So as i was so depressed, probably so down low in the pit you couldn't see me, i decided to write in my diary to sort out my thoughts, then i decided to go on Youtube, and i saw the video link for louie gigllio's sermon titled 'How great is Our God', decided to click on it just to rewatch, so happened it was part 3, and that part he was talking about how we are created.

Interesting facts, one cell contains 3 billion characters describing who we are and God's purpose for you.

So it was like, really comforting for one of the problems i was facing, and kinda cool, a sermon about how incredible the human creation is a day before your birthday. Then he went on saying, 'To those who trust in the Lord, he will hold them in the palm of his hand for the rest of their lives'. There were many other things, but one things was clear, God was speaking directly to me through that message/video. Incredible huh? Finally he ended with laminin, which is a type of protein. You should see the video for yourself to see what i mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0-NPPIeeRk So yeah that's about all. I think this message was the best birthday present i could receive. Because to go from the lowest of lowest to the highest in such a short time, that's like wow.

Yes i went for comic fiesta this year! and yes! i cosplayed Toph! and it was aweseome, team avatar was great!! there was me, katara, suki, aang and azula. Yea, sadly we had no zuko and sokka, and no guys at all (aang was a girl). But it's ok. We did a group skit but unfortunately the sound system was bogus and well even WE on the stage couldn't hear the sound. And we practised so hard, ok for me it was 2 days before, but the rest really deserved better than this. Well they were a fun bunch. Don't know if i'll cosplay next year, i don't think my mom is gonna cash out RM 200 plus again for me.....she was taken by surprise this year so...um.

For me, this year was good lah, haha, ok not so good description. Well the venue totally changed from last year. LAst year it was cramped, hot, stuffy and crowded, this year it was in sunway convention centre, so it's huge and air conditioned! but the lighting according to many was lousy. And for me the sound system had to have problems during OUR skit....why oh why. As for the doujin booths, i noticed many KHR things were being sold, so for me, i'm not into it, so nothing much to see or buy this year. The only thing i bought was a FMA calendar. But maki's friend sakura bought the X (clamp) artbook for RM30, it's so worth it, all coloured, felt cover and gold writing! i browsed through it with her and it was really great.

As for the cosplay, well it was nice taking photo's with the group, the great thing about being toph is that she's usually bored, and i don't like to show much expression, so tadaa! so easy hehe. I just have to occasionally look mean and tough. It was also cool watching maki and wei ling (i think this is how you spell her name) sew, seriously! they altered their own costumes and maki made my headband, it was really nice! (Puteri gunung ledang haha) and in the end everything fit them perfectly *bows*. I need to learn how to sew...note to self. Ok i do, but then the mechanics of making it conceled and all, haven't got that figured out yet.

Oh yea, i also got sick a day before CF! i got a high fever on the 19th, fever and perging on 20th so if it weren't for that i would have had MORE fun!! even sickness! i hate being sick! thanks maki for taking care of me!

ok before i go just a pic of the group
