Oh noes. I'm hooked on Getbackers.
Not a good sign… but they’re really good!
Amano Ginji and Midou Ban! Yay! I like them… especially Ban, especially after I saw this really nice cosplay of Ban. The guy really looked like him! Ah hahaha.
Now I’m here to blog about several things(as I laugh at Adeline for not blogging –ah hahahahaha):
1. OP Presentation
2. Wax lyrical about Midou Ban
3. Edit The Covenant post. It’s got some typoes in it. This probably shows how angry I was at watching that crappy movie.
4. Talk about going to Orchard with 1 Aggie, 3 Choir Gays, and a Rainy Day
5. I can’t remember…
So, Part I:
OP IS OVER YAY
It was quite okay; I completely blanked out during my presentation and just recited everything from memory at an inhumane speed.
The most amazing thing was that I didn’t even refer to my notes! Haha. I just started speaking and everything just came out so quickly! I think my classmates are in shock now. I screwed the Q and A part up but I can’t really remember the question now so it doesn’t really matter.
Thing is, it’s over!
[Now I shall watch Getbackers Episode 5, well after Kiseki by Tackey and Tsubasa ends, which is soon. Hmmmm.]
Part II:
And now I have watched Getbackers until episode 7! I feel accomplished.
I like Midou Ban!
He looks like Dark Mousy in glasses. And he has FANTASTIC EYES. I love his eyes.
I saw this cosplay of him, and fell in love with it. Man! Midou is quite an okay character to cosplay, have the build and look can already, just spike the long hair up, take some purple glasses, a white shirt and look arrogant. Pretend to smoke. Done! And the cosplay really looks like him, unlike cosplays of say… Ishida. He has a unique hairstyle. Or Hitsugaya. Shudders. The hair. Hmm but they only captured his upper half. Maybe his bottom half wasn’t so nice. I should think his long shirt is quite hard to copy…
[Zomg. I feel like an otaku. Let me rant here for a while okay?]
Reasons why I like Midou Ban:
1. He has cool glasses. I am currently in a glass-character phase, especially with Kyouya, Ishida and Satoshi around.
2. He has nice spiky hair. I like his hair. It reminds me of Dark Mousy.
3. He’s known as a Snake! Ah hahaha. Natural affinity, like Ayame!
4. His attitude and character, he’s actually quite fluffy underneath his mean, cocky, perverted, calculative face.
5. He has this very amusing chibi form. It isn’t completely chibi, it’s only snake eyes and an occasional dotty look as Ban-chan is a serious character.
6. His shirt. I like his shirt. It’s white, long and flowy. Period. Talking about long and flowy, I saw this WONDERFUL LONG SLEEVED BLACK SHIRT some secondary school guy wore to church on Saturday. It is GORGEOUS. I wants it. XL says I should get it for the guy I like. Hmmmmmmm.
7. His Evil Eye ability! It’s damn cool, the way his pupils become slits when he uses his power and the person falls into a hallucination for one minute. Every time the illusion ends, he’ll say, ‘Just one minute’ and laugh evilly. The way he uses it shows great intelligence as well; he seems to be able to predict his opponent’s thoughts and show them what they want to see.
8. The fact that he’s called Ban, for barbaric. Ban!
9. Ginji calls him Ban-chan! Which is vastly amusing. Ban-chan! And he doesn’t mind!
10. The way he shamelessly fights for food with Ginji.
11. The way he drives their poor car so recklessly. He has great faith in his driving skills though. Ginji doesn’t really comment on it.
12. How he has the tendency to not see parking lots and invent parking lots of his own. Ginji comments a lot on this; all the money they earn is lost on parking tickets.
13. His Snake Grip. It’s super cool as well. 200 kg with each grip! And he has the Snake Bite attack (more lethal? Dunno), both of which are powerful enough to snap backbones and break chains.
14. His interesting relationship with Himiko. Very, very interesting… [author eyes’ glint]
15. His brain. He’s this damn intelligent guy who basically plots out the Getbackers’ schemes. Still, Heavn (their agent) thinks that there’s something wrong with their strategies as they consist of things like: Okay so the strategy is that is I use my Evil Eye and you grab the stuff! And Ginji cheers happily.
16. HE PLAYS THE VIOLIN. Nuff said.
17. The way he pushes his glasses up, just like Kyouya, Satoshi and Ishida!
18. His smile. It’s enough.
19. [Zomg I am running out of things] His speed. He’s very fast, which is why his Snake Bites are very effective.
20. His pretty, pretty BLUE EYES. They’re as blue as the sky! Very nice.
21. Now I have too many - he simpers up to rich people. I know it isn’t exactly nice but he’s just so serious and arrogant all the time then some rich customer comes and he’s vaguely chibi-esque which is very funny.
Part III:
I finished checking for typos. There was only one! I feel happy.
Part IV:
Ah I am in a random mood. So I shall blog about going to Orchard with the Choir People. Aggie, be honoured! You’re mentioned here! Together with Guo Wei, Zheng Kai and Qingwen… all gays.
Everyone says I blog long posts. So I shall FULFILL that wish! If you don’t read then it’s your loss, not mine.
So anyway, it was a Thursday. It was the day before our Oral Presentation on Friday. It was around noon, when Aggie, I, Boon Siong and Wei Xun were concluding a PW meeting when Aggie got a phone call.
‘Hello?’
‘…’
‘You buggers!’
Ekcetra. And something along that line. Apparently, Guo Wei and Zheng Kai had traipsed off to Orchard that day to buy a birthday present for some person in choir… then they had gotten lost.
Before any of you laugh, I get lost too at Orchard as well, but I don’t go to the Singapore Visitors’ Centre, which is just strange. Which was what they did. They had walked over in the rain and were poking around for brochures on Orchard road but found none. Hence they called Aggie, their all-knowing Grand Mother to please, please, please come and save us. As in, she isn’t a granny, she’s just a mother-esque figure, and she’s grand.
So. Aggie was laughing at their plight while I was looking on in a vaguely amused manner before she filled me in. And as I knew Geo Wei from my first three months class, she handed me the phone to talk (entertain) Guo Wei while she packed her bag. As for Zheng Kai, he just knew me due to the numerous times I have been next to Aggie when she talks to her choir members and also how crazy I am. Damn I’m good.
Apparently, the duo had seen Fiona Xie at Orchard and was admiring her… assets. Guo Wei said this in a particularly loud manner as he was talking to me. I was laughing my head off and countering that I had seen Joanne Peh when he said:
‘Joanne Peh is hot okay. And I lost Zheng Kai. He just walked ahead in front of me and disappeared!’
I kept laughing.
‘Zheng Kai! How can you be so cruel as to leave me behind all alone!’
I assumed Zheng Kai gave him a non committal reply.
So then Aggie took back her phone and laughed at them again, and asked if I could come along for lunch.
Aggie was all okay and complained that they kept bullying her and such thus! I as her Darlingx ought to go and stop them from doing so!
So I accompanied her to Orchard. We found the guys at Takashimaya.
Oh noes. I am quickly losing interest in this blog.
Anyway I shall just move on to the funny parts.
The thing about going out with Choir Gays, is the entertainment value. We walked around shopping centres, they made comments about Aggie wearing certain types of clothes, complained about foreign currency debts, argued with each other over presents and something about living in their own world in Muji. There was this Disney themed shopping area at the basement, so we walked around a bit before the guys came and basically waxed lyrical about Disney and their costumes, oversized dolls and overkill bottles.
Then we met the guys and had lunch where it was one amusing incident after another, something about conductors and certain songs, and a terrible Christmas carol.
Silver bells…
Qing Wen appeared from NO WHERE. At least I think he did.
Zhengkai revealed why he daoed Guo Wei just now! He said something about Guo Wei’s comment on Fiona Xie had been exceptionally loud, hence he walked faster and further away, as people were staring at Guo Wei. Guo wei looked very small after that comment. We had the omelette egg rice thing, which was very nice!
Should eat there again. Aggie and I went to buy first and when we were bringing back our trays, Guo Wei was like: You can bring this back?
Aggie and I: Yarhh.
Guo Wei: Hey I never knew that! I thought you had to eat there or they didn’t allow you or something.
In the end, they brought the same things as us.
After lunch, I wasn’t exactly sure of the general group’s main idea so I just tagged along and laughed. Apparently their job had been done but no one wanted to go back. So we walked to Cineleisure, when it was vaguely drizzling.
Aggie took out her umbrella with a flourish and sheltered me while the guys ran, with Guo Wei walking smugly under his own umbrella.
And this, this was the beginning of everything.
We walked a lot, walking into Cineleisure and figuring out what we were supposed to do before actually realizing that we didn’t want to go to Cineleisure in the first place as everyone was under the mistaken impression that everyone else wanted to watch a movie.
We were asking the guys who could be so relaxed when okay, one of them had their OP already, the other was having it on Monday, and the last one was… uhh… Qing Wen. I don’t know.
So we were sort of arguing about where we were supposed to go as Aggie and I wanted to go home already while the rest wanted to go to Plaza Singapore for some obscure reason. We were mock arguing as Aggie and Guo Wei were the only people with the umbrellas and if Aggie left, the group of three guys would only be left with one umbrella, with Guo Wei under it. So faced with such a terrible prospect, they were sort of asking us to come along. It ended on a ringing note or a climatic ending before Guo Wei just shrugged and walked off, and I believe that he was humming.
Agnessa: What an anti-climax, man.
In the end, they decided to walk with us to Somerset and take the train to Dhoby Ghaut to Plaza Singapore.
It was then, the skies decided that hey, since we’re already raining, let’s just heck with it and rain ALL THE MORE HARDER!
So we were stuck, two girls and three gays under two umbrellas.
Naturally, Aggie and I took her umbrella and refused to let anyone go between us Darlingx.
We were vastly entertained by the trio behind us, who fought, scuffled, screeched and generally made a lot of noise in the rain, like:
‘My shirt is getting wet!’
‘Move! I have no space!’
‘Oh my god I’m going transparent!’
‘Melting! Melting!’ Okay I added that.
Then Zheng Kai gave up and made a break for it, running towards Somerset in his white choir tee-shirt. Ironically he was the one who said that he was going transparent.
Eventually we made it to Somerset, wet and vaguely annoyed, as Guo Wei had the brilliant idea to sing ‘Silver Bells’ in the rain while we were walking behind him.
We made it a point to walk faster.
‘Hey why are they walking so fast?’
Making it to Somerset, we happily and gratefully separated while laughing hard at Zheng Kai’s situation. Oh that poor guy. He was soaked to the bone, looking vaguely irritated and forlorn at our laughter.
Hmmm overall, it was a rather amusing experience for me, and I have a good feeling that Aggie would actually read this post to this point, as it has something to do with her, that narcissist woman.
So, HAH to you for reading!
