My cure from boredom.

And it is none other than - WATCHING ANIMES! 8D

So the Raya holidays have started and so does studying for my SPM trials. *groans* Parents have been pestering me to study like everyday! Seriously don't have the mood to study sighs. And seeing all those rajin tweets and statuses from friends and school mates makes me more pressured. PEEPOL Y U SO HARDWORKING. D: Someone need to bless me with some rajin power. A trait lacking on a lazee bum like me.

Other than studying, i also managed to do some catching up on animes! (Which i happen to do more than studying hah.) Like finally! After so long! *shiawase*

First, i started off with a little bit of Inu x Boku SS.

Watched halfway and eventually... Gave up. Urgh i just don't get the storyline and all. My instincts were right, something in the story will eventually make me drop it like Guilty Crown. Couldn't exactly pinpoint on what tho. Maybe because i was disappointed on how Soushi really was. I mean, looking at all those picture of him made me think "Owhhhh he's so hotttt!" but then he was rather... Sissy? Idk. Maybe that's how a butler is supposed to be? Like Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji? I was all blek and yerrr cause of Sebastian. Apologies to all Soushi fans who might view this post. Just feeling le disppointed. Oh and the storyline was sorta crappy. And again apologies to all InuBoku fans heh. :3

Annnnnd on to Kuroko no Basuke! *Slight spoilers ahead?*
Ohhh i'm so addicted to this series now. *w* As mentioned on my previous post, i have been reading the manga and decided to start watching the anime. Up till now, it has 20 episodes and i'm proud to announce that i have watched all of it in just 4 days. 5 episodes per day heh! xD

What i really like about this show is that all of the characters are really likeable and cute! I mean, there isn't anyone i particularly dislike or hate in this series. (Excluding those side characters. I mean some of them are annoying but they only have small parts so i don't really mind... Or care. :3) And i have to say that the characters looks x100 better on anime. Not because it's colored or whatever but the drawing is really different. But the anime seems to have miss out some of the small and incredibly minor events from the manga. Ah well, if one were to watch the anime without reading the manga, he would not feel that there's something missing. But since i did read the manga, i noticed that they didn't include some smaller events.

Watching the funny and humorous parts on the anime was pretty entertaining. Kept replaying them over and over again for a good laugh! 8D

On to my list of fav charas!

This is Kuroko Tetsuya, the main protagonist of the series! SO ADORABLE RIGHT, RIGHT? :3
How can someone so cute be so cool and calm and not those typical wimpy and useless types?! Plus he's really wise and all. He's really calm, have never really seen him being comical.

This is Kise Ryota! <3 SO HOT RIGHT, RIGHT? *w* Eventhough he has those typical pretty boy face but he's really down-to-earth in the series. Has many fangirls due to being a model, yet he's not proud, stuck-up or snobby. Ahhhhh that's why he's one of my favs. <3 But he's sort of manja? A little bit whinny but it's okaaaaaaaaay. <3

This is Midorima Shintaro. :3 What i like about him is because HE'S A TSUNDERE <3 It's really rare to see a male tsundere in anime series cause usually it's the girls who are tsunderes. But but he's so cute lah, when he acts cold and aloof! Typical tsun no = yes personality, denying the truth and all. It's just too cute! *w* One of my favs too. And his long lower eyelashes heh!

Lastly, Akashi Seijuro! His full face haven't been shown on the anime tho. Only his back, eyes and lower parts of his face. But this pic above was shown briefly in one of the openings, or was it closing? Have to admit that i'm a sucker for red haired guys. *w* Hmm, Akashi is those intimidating and quiet type (According to the manga) and can sometimes be scary. D8 But i still love him nonetheless. <3 Red heads are <3

There are many more that i favor! Like i said, everyone in the show is really likeable! Absolutely love the entire Seirin basketball team. Especially Hyuuga, Kiyoshi and Izuki. Koga, Mitobe and Tsuchida are pretty funny too but too bad they're not the main players. :C The 3 first-year players are really funny too but they don't have much screen time! And Riko is one cool kickass chick. >8D I'm quite cool with Kagami and Aomine too but don't really like them as much. But it means i still favour them! Kasamatsu and Takao are super cute and funny too.

Murasakibara as well as Akashi haven't really fully debut in the anime yet but i love them too! Himuro too, awaiting for their complete debuts!

Still have many animes to catch up! Have also been catching up with my all time anime Naruto. More to come. But i shall bury myself in books first. D:<

Missing out.

Yes I'm definitely missing out on a lot of things alright. :'(

First of all, I haven't been watching anime for like, the few months?! Been sort of banned from using the computer so my only source of entertainment and what I use to keep me updated is via my iPhone. Seriously my iPhone and I are inseparable. Facebook, Twitter whatever all thru my trusty iPhone. Heck, even this blog post is written from my iPhone wtf. :O

But the downside of an iPhone is that I can't browse videos. Except YouTube and Crunchyroll. Soi resorted on reading manga but I got bored easily and it's really troublesome reading on an iPhone. >:(

Animes I need to catch up on are :
1) Kuroko no Basuke.
- Sis is hooked on this show. The manga was great and I wanna see some live action ! :D Cosplays of this series have been mushrooming a lot too.

2) Inu x Boku SS...?
- Ikr. So outdated hah. Idk. Having second thoughts bout watching this. Hope it won't turn out to be like Guilty Crown. Have seem so many cosplay a from this series too so I assume this series is not bad?

3) Fate Zero.
- Yes, super duper outdated. Really love Fate Stay Night and I know that Fate Zero will be equally awesome !

Lastly, I have not been attending any ACG events since May! :( okay, maybe there wasn't much during that period of time but I did miss out AFA MY during June sighs. If I'm not mistaken, the next event after AFA MY is Animangaki which is on the 25th and 26th of August... A few days before SPM trials. Fml seriously.

Can't find any actual pic of the awesome logo so I had to screen save it. xD They're theme for this year is 'Koukou', which means high school! Thus the school badge-like logo.

Another event I'm bound to miss out because it's in the middle of trials is Taylor's Uni's Asaban Fest, held on 1st September.

Asaban Fest was one of the few events I attended before I even started cosplaying. Taylor's Anime Society didn't organize one last year but they're back now!

So I guess my next event will be end of this year's Comic Fiesta, after SPM! A really really long way to go but time flies. Won't be attending this year's AFA in Singapore during November as SPM will be ongoing then. Definitely want to attend Cosfest in Singapore next year! Now, who shall I drag along hoho. xD

On a different note, I might be retaking my Highway Court test (or better known as 'Undang') after trials after failing the first time. /sad
If I pass then I'm one step closer to learning to drive ! So excited ! :D

As for my trials, I'm really really worried inside. I'm afraid I won't score well and might end up disappointing my parents. Blame my laziness and love for sleeping and slacking. I mean really, I'm super worried yet I'm not doing anything. I know the consequences of not scoring well yet I still won't push myself. Guess I really wanted to fully enjoy my last year in high school and just chillax and enjoy lah! So fuck the MOE for taking away our last year of happiness and well, fuck SPM.

Sighs. I guess I'll kiss the college scholarship goodbye this time.

All Things yummy!

Hello!

Been missing for quite awhile as i'm not really allowed to touch the computer. D: The only Internet access i've got is via my iPhone. And mostly active on Facebook or Twitter.

But! Today everyone's out. So i get the whole house, and most of all THE COMPUTER to myself hohohoho!

Shall update this dead man's blog with a food/ cafe review!

*PS: In relating to my previous post, i didn't went for AFA. :C Therefore shall save my cosplay plans for later events. That is, if i am able to attend sighs.

So at one of my previous posts, i blogged about my trip to Penang and i stumbled upon a lovely cafe there!

So cute right! Even the signboard is pretty! :3

Macaron Cafe is located inside a shopping mall. Not only do they sell their renowned macarons, they do sell some other delicious cakes and pastries too! Since i didn't have the chance to sit down and taste more of their food, i can only review about the rainbow cake and the macarons i bought from there. But i heard that their drink are not bad too! Just have to know which ones to order. (:

And the cafe has quite a calming ambiance too. Just that i feel that it's a little too dark. i personally prefer a more well-lit place to eat... And i need better lighting to snap pics of my food ! xD

Some of the things displayed near the entrance. Spot the rainbow cake!

Rilakkuma items on display! Super cute! :3

Pretty menus with French inspired designs.

Some other cakes on sale. Heard that their brownies are quote good too.

And finally...

Where they store the macarons!

They were soooooooo many to choose from! Took my sis and i awhile to choose haha.

My rainbow cake and macarons were nicely packed into this brown paper bag. Thumbs up for being very eco-friendly! (Y)

These are macarons i bought. Starting from the top left row, 2 Mochas? (i forgot the name of the flavor. >__<) , 1 Lychee, 2 Operas, 2 Bubblegums (i'm pretty sure this is the name but i'm having some doubts...), 1 Yam and 2 English Rose.

Onto my review!

Since it's my first time eating macarons, i'm quite unsure on how it's supposed to taste like lol. But i can taste that the macarons were really well made. No funny tastes or textures and all. And the fillings were really creamy. What really made me enjoy these macarons was they weren't too sweet. I love sweet stuff but stuffs that are way too sweet can turn me off. :/

Mocha doesn't really have much of a coffee taste. Tastes more chocolatey but i do taste some slight coffee.  But i still enjoy it!
Lychee was not bad. Can taste and smell the lychee flavor.
Opera was my favorite among all! Should've bought more argh! D: Has a vanilla-ish and faint chocolate taste. Enjoyed every bite! (Y)
Bubblegum really tastes like bubblegum! Like those normal bubblegums with strawberry taste.Best part is it has a bubblegum scent too! Surprisingly it wasn't overly sweet like what i thought it would be.
Yam was okay. can't really taste the yam in it but it was still good.
 English Rose was my least favorite. :C Not that it tasted horrible, i juts didn't enjoy the taste. It has a really strong potpurri-ish and sweet tea smell and you can smell it when you consume the macaron. I didn't like it cause i didn't like the scent.

I ate the macarons with my family in the car while we were driving home haha!

When we reached home, we refrigerated the rainbow cake for awhile and onto nomming it. :D

HO look at the super vibrant colors! I know it's all the food coloring but whatever! Could not be bothered. :P

 Top part of the slice was covered with pure white vanilla icing and some rainbow and star sprinkles! It was a little ruined cause of the long car ride. :C

Some cream in between each layer. And if you noticed, the part between the yellow and green layer has a slightly dark color. That's cause they applied a layer of jam onto it! If my taste buds don't fail me, i'm pretty sure it's strawberry jam.

Half gone! 

Last bite. :C

Overall, the cake was pretty delicious! Although i think the layer of jam made the cake a little sweeter but it's still great. The jam gave the cake the right amount of sweetness. :3 And the cream and icing wasn't too overly sweet and whatnot either. Basically it's a really colorful and yummy vanilla cake! 

Do head over to Macaron Cafe at Gurney Plaza to give it a try! If i'm able to go back to Penang, will definitely stop by and really sit down and enjoy the food they serve. (:
