Wandering with the Wind...

Whew, it's the hols. Actually it's already the fourth day of the hols and nearing the end, but, well, beautiful day I had today. Had a really great time with Az and Ming Wei at the Jurong library and then at Az's house - managed to buy Naruto volume 47 after hunting at IMM, the school bookshop never seems to restock their mangas.

Yup, as expected, three art nerds having an awesome day together. ^^"

Oh but we finished the chibis! Took us quite some time to get all the requests, and in the end Az just drew a couple her way since the people concerned didn't seem to give a damn. Ah well, now that it's over, I have to say I kinda liked my chibi. *Woots* Thanks Az!

Bleh I'm kinda tired today. Getting really really emo now from the song I'm listening to, and yea it's T.A.T.U again, All My Love to be exact. I was hunting for the instrumental version of that song for soooo long, but till now I could only find the Russian / English version; already an achievement, but somehow having lyrics kinda spoils the entire ambience. All My Love is better off being instrumental honestly. The original lyric-less version is played with acoustic guitar and piano, and some other things. Sounded beautifully melancholic.

Now if only I could get the instrumental version...there isn't really a way for me to get rid of the voice since it's part of the audio, but then...

Haiz.

Ah well, forget it. I'll find it someday.

Just read the volume 3 of Residence of the Sun, the plot ended there, very nicely. I'm still way too mad over Residence of the Sun - it's the awesomest narusasu doujinshi ever and I haven't gotten over it yet!! Argh! I think the coverpage had a spell or something. The way they coloured the sunset was so...TwT soothingly lonely. And that's one of the reasons why I'm now mad over All My Love too; background music for my fav doujinshi, what else can you expect? Both of them fit perfectly.

And then there's the entire sad ambience for the plot that draws me in so much. I love bittersweet endings, and volume 3 ended the plot wayyy toooo well. There was a cycle sort of effect; when they last went to view the sunrise at the mountain it was on Sas' birthday 4 years ago, and in the ending it's Naru's. And the way humour and life was weaved in with melancholy...small, obscure things like looking after a tomato garden, and Naruto's reaction when he found out the utterly ridiculous fact that Sas loved comedy, well, they explain a lot on their own. I bet this artist could've been on par with Kishimoto well enough.

Alright, this is definitely my ultimate pal for emoing. I can read it over and over and not get bored, cuz the plot is just so sad. I'm never sick of sad stuff.

Kay I better get going, had a long day and I'd love some rest. Cya!
