kiss the baby sky
Hello, hello, guys. メリークリスマス！As in every other year, my family and I are totally void of the festive mood and go about the day as per usual, hur hur. Believe it or not, we used to make a really huge deal out of it before - we had Christmas music blasting on the stereo, and my dad would always take a video of the unwrapping ceremony of not-so-secret

And whoa, dude, didn't know you wanted to apply to a foreign uni! That's actually really cool! I don't know about Singapore, but my country's unis don't offer that many opportunities for the future, so studying abroad is a really useful thing to do. Maybe you can get a scholarship or something so you wouldn't have to worry about the taxes? Is that possible?
Roleplaying... I remember wanting to do this so badly a couple of years ago, but I always have this feeling in the back of my head that my interpretation of the characters might be different from other people's interpretations and then I'd make a fool out of myself and yeah. And then I lost interest and realised it's kind of...weird to me anyway? As a pastime, I mean. But getting (artistically) involved in fandom sounds cool! Lately, I've found myself wishing I hadn't given up drawing lessons all those years ago. Maybe I would have developed a style in the meantime. Maybe, yeah.

it really is, right? i'm quite aware of how foreign unis have a better reputation as well, and at the risk of sounding overly practical, that's what a lot of companies look at too. i'll be applying for as many scholarships as i can too, hopefully those somehow help me tide over! but i'm quite aware that most scholarships only offer a subsidy which is a percentage of the school fee excluding living costs, which i admit is rather demoralising. D:
I CAN RELATE TO THAT FEAR ENTIRELY, the same thing was running through my head the last time i roleplayed. it sounds like you have an interest in drawing! have you considered picking doodling up as a pasttime? o A o if you draw a little everyday, maybe you could start improving and creating your own style, it's certainly possible!

I don't think sounding practical is a bad thing! That's what we're taught the moment we think about applying to unis over here, to be honest. It's a combination of do the things you like but make sure that'll actually bring some food on the table. Our scholarships suck. They're either too expensive or the teachers already have favourite students. I could have gotten an Erasmus scholarship in France, for example, but didn't have enough money to pay for rent. And food. And books. And transport. And a lot of other stuff. I wish you best of luck though!
Your suggestion sounds great! I'm not really sure how I'd be able to do it though, since the only things I've managed to successfully doodle when I'm bored are Decarabias. I have good visual memory, but everything goes to hell the moment I try to put it on paper. Oh well, ganbarimasu and all that.

that's a huge waste about that scholarships, bb. ;_; and the thing about favouritism is terrible, please don't tell me it happens frequently! that's not fair to so many other students. ;_; oh gosh, YES living expenses a huge problem! the problem about a good deal of scholarships that they don't take that into consideration, so most candidates can't go over anyway. ._. i don't know, it just doesn't feel enough. thanks my dear♥! i foresee similar results over here, though. orz ;asdfjksdf.
WHAT IS THAT that is terrifying. it's from... persona? you're one warped child my friend. now i really wouldn't want to have those creepy eye things on my lecture notes. a good visual memory is a great start! all that you have to do is practice! i, on the other hand, have a pretty bad visual memory! XD

Well, it's worse in high-school, but still happens in college. Not that frequent, but still. It sucks.
But it's cute what are you talking about. And yes, it's actually from the (Shin) Megami Tensei multiverse! If you think Decarabia is creepy...Persephone, Catoblepas, Barong, Kraken, Bael. And these guys are nothing compared to other designs, I tell you. Oh well, that's why I love Kaneko Kazuma, he's got great imagination.

damn D: i hope there aren't students running around trying to gain the favour of teachers and status of teacher's pet. because that would be extremely annoying and skew the system even more.
OH GOSH FREAKY SHIT. but I really really like persephone's design. i love umm bael too! i think designs rooting in the human form and screwing it up is absolutely intriguing. that guy is so amazing *_* also, warped. but that's a subset of awesome.

Thankfully, there aren't, or at least I haven't seen them doing this. But there are some obvious cases, like a girl who should have been expelled because she has barely attended a few classes, yet she's still here. Who knows how many wonders can those parents do.
Yes, I love Persephone's design too! It's a great take on her myth. Have some more, because: Echidna, Rangda, Taraka, Flauros, Tiamat and Abaddon. Mouths hehehehe.

... lol her parents are such trolls. nah it's okay, i don't think you did! wait, it does? i think... i've never heard the whole song in my life. HAHA. gosh deprivation
oh goodness did her parents bribe the school? that's horrendous D: D: but i have schools here which do the same - parents bribe school, school lets student in though their marks don't actually make the pass. it's a minority, and mostly private schools, but it still happens too.
OMG THAT MOUTH WHY DO YOU REMIND ME OF HAN- ehhem. anyway THE FIRST ONE SCARED ME SO BADLY. gosh this guy is warped but oh so wonderful
