★ 10 Things A Lullaby Needs to Recover from Exam Hell ★

Inspired by Rhapsody, decided that I should do a list blog as well! So here it is. The top ten things this girl needs to recover from exam stress. In no particular order. Just the top 10 things that pop into my head.

1. SLEEP.

All the all nighters, and your longest sleep being less than five hours, this is a small heaven for people tortured for long days during exams. No doubt, the first thing I did was crash on this beauty and was blacked out till the morning after...

My best friend.

2. SWEET STUFF.

Of course, I had my fair share of sweets and snacks and all things unhealthy during the exam period. But it's NEVER THE SAME from when you eat it when you know that you're unbound from the shackles of an evil governmental conspiracy.

Nothing beats chocolate ~ ♥

3. HOT SMUTTY MAN SEX

♥ Y.A.O.I. ♥

I think this is the only thing in the entire list that can be enjoyed even during exam period 8D. Thank you yaoi god for all your blessings for all my exams ♥

Iyan ~ ♥

4. ANIME & DRAMA.

The aching pain of not being able to watch one episode after the other without feeling the panging guilt from the lurking suspicion of forgetting something somewhat important and in urgent need of your attention. All that was gone right after the final exam, and it was then time to catch up on all the episodes you have been restraining yourself from watching.

Did you miss me? ♥

5. PRETTY PEOPLE

Though you know you shouldn't, exam period seems to be the perfect time to browse the net for photos of pretty people. Then soon you realise, you know more about those people's lives than your studies. That was the big indication for me to ban myself from my room and study in the cold, cold lounge ;__; But then after exams, when you look through your collection, you feel that it was all worth it ♥

>3< Gackt ~ Wai you so gorgeous??? ♥

6. C.F.C.

NOT 「chlorofluorocarbon」 Sorry yaoi god to disappoint XP. Country Fried Chicken. They provide the most addictive chips I have ever had. Unfortunately, it's dwelling place is more than three blocks away and during exams when every second counts, that is VERY FAR. Today, I finally got my large chips and a bottle of Lift to accompany it ♥

Hot and crispy ~ ♥

7. FRIENDS.

Despite popular beliefs, I DO SOCIALISE... ... ... ... Occasionally... A big thank you for all the friendly support during all the terribly stressful times！Now it's all over, I'll make an effort to step out the front door...

Yay！ Cyber Friends！ X)

8. MUSIC.

Though most of the time, it doesn't prove to be a problem, for some reason, this time, I just absolutely COULD NOT STUDY with the music playing in the background. I absolutely love my music so this was unspeakably agonising！！I'd take 3 minute breaks just to listen to one song. Oh how I missed it so. After the exams, the music has been ongoing unless I'm watching something (or if I'm zzzing).

Yay！ All of TLA <3 ♥

9. COSPLAY

COSPLAY. This should have been higher up on the list. All the test cosplays etc etc etc etc that I dreamed of doing during exams are now realistically DO-ABLE. Here are some results from today's test cosplay for Hijirikawa Masato from Uta no☆Prince-Sama Maji Love 1000% ♪

I fail at taking photos of myself.

Glasses version for Ren ♥

10. PROCRASTINATION.

The deadliest element during exams. Yet you find it persisting even during free time. I procrastinated from writing up this blog. Procrastinated from doing the test cosplay. Procrastinated from getting out of this flat to get a box of CFC. I have come to accept that procrastination is just a necessity of life that's gonna follow you like A Dog of Flanders no matter where you go.

I will. I really will.

And that is all from me for now！ Yay！ Lists are fun！ I should do this more often XD Thank you Rhapsody for the inspiration！！ ♥

★ Mont Blanc and Macarons ★

Finally finished the two hardest exams for this semester！ Mustn't forget that I have one more left, however the relief I felt proceeding the "pens down" signal made it seem as though the exam hell has come to an end. A break is in order！ And what's better to unwind with than sweet dessert brought down from Christchurch from a lovely friend?

Mont Blanc. It was delish ♥

Green tea cake! Looked good :3

Macarons in the box!

Rose and Pistachio flavoured Macarons ♥

The rose flavoured one was so good！ And funnily enough,  right after, I received some Rose tea from Requiem！ XD Friend also brought one of the four angry bird soft toys for me to see! So, so cute！ Especially the eyes... ♥

Cute blue angry bird with my squish carrot ♥

He's watching you...

 Now once my final exam is over, I will do all the test cosplays I have wanted to do since the beginning of exam hell and write all the stories and fanfics I had been wanting to write since goodness knows when. Just another 10 days and I will be eating from a tub of ice cream while watching disney movies！

Also a slightly early congratulations to Symphony who will officically be free after the presentation tomorrow！！！ Thank you for all your hard work Symphony！ Now enjoy your well-deserved holiday！！

Japanese phrase for the day for Symphony: お疲れ様でした！(Otsukare sama deshita) equates to: thank you for your hard work！ ^-^

★ Study Blues ★

When will this exam hell end... T_T I can't wait until this is ALL over and I can cosplay, and eat ice-cream wrapped up in a blankie while watching Disney movies！ I yearn for that day....

The Current Me.

★ A Project Before Exams ★

Finally finished my last assignment which consisted of a poster presentation that had to be done in a group x_x. Not the greatest fan of group work~ Always found studying easier to do by myself. But it had to be done, and now I won't have to worry about it ever again!

Before exams, there is a not-so-mini project to do. For a friend that is leaving NZ for good, I am about to begin to make a scrap book album of all the stuff we did together in the last three years. Hopefully he'll look at them one day and remember the awesome times we had together and remember us as his friends in NZ!

Thank you Requiem for paying for everything for now :3

The album. Cover made of cloth material.

Every page is for one friend that is left behind. And every page has a theme that accompanies it :3 Here are some of the decorative materials that were bought today. Much, much more will be used but I wanted to show off the new stuff.

Footprints that lead from one page to another. 

「Europe Travel」theme for Requiem.

Little British men that are going to stand on Requiem's page. 

「Otome」theme.

Can be used for various themes :3

Happy memories!

Can't wait to get started! But need to study as well so got to be on top of it all. Wish me luck!

★ Gratitude to a Home Stay ★

Just rediscovered a box of food that was given to me by my homestay before he went back to Taiwan!! Filled with goodies from Taiwan >w< With this, I shall do my best with studies for the final exam!

Chicken noodles! Really, really, really yummy. There's beef flavour too!

Coffee biscuits with black sesame!

★ A Day of Spring ★

Inspired by Serenade's spring entry, I went on a little spring tour as well after a MICR 222 lab which included cheese tasting. I was in a brilliant mood. Not only was the weather splendid, but eating was included in an academic course that was not food science. With my old flatmate and a current one which we ran into at the beginning of this short expedition, we walked around our campus to do some cherry blossom viewing.

Cherry blossoms :)

My two lovely flatmates from first year of uni.

Glad I came before they were all gone.

The bestest flatmate and I ♥

Me!

The Blue Blue Sky.

More Blossoms ♥

On the way back from campus, upon talking about how nice the little walk was and how sleepy some of us were from the long day, the subject of ice cream popped in. Walking by a dairy that supplied ice cream, it would have been a sin to not go in to buy one. So in exchange for $2.50, I had in my hands a small mint choc ice cream with a heart on top! The ice cream took a whole 30 minutes to finish.

For you Kaito! ♥ Since you're not here, I'll eat it for you ♥

While eating the ice cream in my room, I was watching the latest episode of Ouran High School Host Club Live Action!

Below is my current bed time story ^-^ ♥ ↓

☆ Lack of Sleep, Website and Melt ☆

Well, if you have read Rhapsody and Serenade's blogs, you would know that I am extreme Sleep Deprived. My eyes are still irritated from the prolonged exposure to contact lenses and the spring season bringing about the grassy pollen doesn't help either x__x.

Thanks to that, I have been a "good girl" and been staying in my room to prevent anyone from being victimised by my alter ego a.k.a. "The Demon Lord" who has extreme (╯°■°）╯︵ ┻━┻ tendencies.

I'm not mad at you. Really.

That aside, all has been well :D New pages of the website are being created, and new photos are being edited by Symphony between her university work as we speak! (Thank you Symphony! We appreciate your work so, so much! *Loves!*)

By the end of the week, the website will have the following additions:

• New links to various peoples' blogs
• In depth details of behind the scenes of the 「Melt」 video
• Credits, and member comments regarding 「Melt」 video
• New photoshoot photos of Motosuwa Hideki up under 「Chobits - Special Edition」*

*Look forward to these! Never seen before photo format! *excitement*

Regarding the 「Melt」 video, there really isn't much for me to add! For more, read Rhapsody's account of the day of shooting here :D It was cold, and it was cold and it was cold, but Kaito was so bishie so it made it all alright *A*. I won't put up any photos here as they'll be on the "behind the scene" section on the website ;)

Here is a few shots that I took with my flatmate on her laptop webcam when I came back (and after she mistook me as a random green "thing" in the lounge)

My awesome flat mate that had just woken up.

The Green Thing. 

Puffer fish.
