I'm been getting pretty frustrated over comments asking about the same things over and over again. I don't exactly have a lot of time these few days to answer all of them, and well, it seems like I've just realized it's going to be the end of June. June 2009 to be exact. And that means school's gonna reopen soon. So before one decade is over, I've decided to post an FAQ. This also means that if I see the same questions on any other post, I'm not going to answer them. You find them out yourself. And just in case you're feeling lazy, here, let me google that for you.

So here's a post to keep you informed on what I'm working on currently, and what I've worked on. It doesn't say what my future projects are, since what I like changes very often. It goes in alphabetical order.

Current:
Saiyuki Ibun (Waiting for Ch 2 to be released)
The One (Waiting for Ch 63 to be released)
Yasha [Naked Ape] (Ch 1)

Released:
Di[e]ce (Ch 6)
Sleeping in Your Lake (Preview)
Saiyuki Ibun (Ch 1)
Steel Rose (Volume 1)
Switch (Volume 4)(Locked)
The Loyal Dog's Distress (Preview)
The One (Volumes 2-8 & Chapters 57-62)
Xlian (Preview)

So... Yes.

I just spent a good seven hours today plugging through all the Ender books, and spent a lot of time crying too. (All 9 of them.) Especially those about Bean. In fact, I've spent more time and more tears crying over these books than any others I've read.

I can't believe I cry whenever I read those books, but something in them strikes a chord in me. The third time I'm re-reading them in 5 years. There's just something that makes me feel a little different whenever I read them. D:

I guess I'll be re-reading them again in a few years time.

Chapter 62 of "The One" by Nicky Lee! Whee. I actually did this entire chapter yesterday (with the exception of the last page because it was rather late), and I just got back from my graduation ceremony. Enjoy the chapter, and the next chapter'll be out in December (no questions about this one). :D You won't get clean scans for this chapter, because:
1) I'm feeling so guilty about using scans that specify it's only for Billwang usage. (And I didn't ask for permission either. D:)
2) I intend to rescanlate the entire volume 9 once it's released in the tankoubon form.



As usual, the scans aren't mine but please leave the editor's note intact. Feel free to host this chapter anywhere but please remember to credit me.

So it's out already. I'm not about to reveal any details and it's a little tiring to type out a summary, so I'll just get to work on the chapter. Expect in a day or two. :D   

It's been some time since I last posted, but I've got to say it's Halloween tomorrow! Not that I celebrate it actually. School's ending soon, and I've turned pretty lazy. Maybe it'll take another month or so before the drive to translate more manga returns.

It's been a tiring year actually.  

Lee Hsien Loong currently earns an annual salary of S$3,870,000 (US$ 2,856,930 ), an increase of 25% from S$3,091,200 (US$2,037,168), making him the highest paid head of government in the world. In comparison, the President of the United States earns a salary of US$400,000. The new salary of S$3.8 million took effect in January 2008. 

Rich, I say. But no one's complaining, so I guess that's all that matters.

I was reading an article about our Minister Mentor saying that social divide is inevitable (and was reading the comments that followed as well).

A few comments that amused me greatly
From vigilantay:
Why must workers at the lowest end be targeted to cut costs? Why not put a cap on the CEOs' and top management's pay and bonuses? They say if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, but the recent financial crisis has shown that even if you pay big bucks, you still get monkeys.

And kokoobird replied:
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. If you don't pay peanuts you get ORANG UTANS...

My life is pretty screwed, but now that Physics is out of my life, ( Read more... )

Chapter 1 of "Saiyuki Ibun" by Kazuya Minekura! New series which is a joint with Hyper-Parfait! I'd have given her blog an intro, but I figured you can just drop by her blog and read the FAQ. :D Enjoy the chapter!

HAHAHA. Just one of the reasons why I suscribe to the nytimes. 

Oh boy. 

Chapter 61 of "The One" by Nicky Lee! Now, this is what I call speed scanlation. It's not HQ editing, but the scans weren't exactly HQ either. Enjoy this chapter and wait for another two months or so. o_O



As usual, the scans aren't mine but please leave the editor's note intact. Feel free to host this chapter anywhere but please remember to credit me.

 Wooh! SPOILERS AHEAD, so don't read if you want to wait for the scanlated version.

It's out. Anyway, just in case some of you didn't know, I never said Nicky Lee had a health problem. o_o I only said there was something to do with her health condition that caused her to delay the release, not to mention that she didn't start drawing until the 18th of August. So yeah. Oh and there won't be any release of The One next month either. (It wasn't stated on this chapter.) The next issue of The One will probably be released on the 5th of December.  

Warning: I may sound incoherent in the summary, but I'll try not to. 

( Spoilers ahead. )

That's a rather short summary for now, so, yep, just wait for the scanlation. 

This is the very point in time when you feel like going, "Oh shucks. What've I done the whole day?" 

I'm staring at this pile of notes which I realized about an hour ago that I haven't read and that I need to read for the exam tomorrow. I've three hours left to study them and I'm feeling so dead.

To hell with procrastination.  

Let's just say, I had many expectations for this manhwa ever since I started reading it in 2007. Now that it's finally ended after eleven volumes of extreme drama, I can't help but feel it was a long, tiring and emotional roller-coaster ride that ended mediocrely. It can be adequately described by my reaction when I saw the words "The End" --- "WH... WHAT?!"

It's really freaky seeing how rich some people in my school are.

Meh. To all the comments I've yet to reply to, forgive me.

I've got to start clearing the backlog of work and emails. I've got so many emails left unreplied in my inbox that it's rather startling. D: Goodness me.

And I'm sick of cleaning scans.
