My Memories

Updates! [manga + other stuff] :3

2012-02-12T17:28:00.002+08:00

MUHAHAHAH! Spent the entire morning & afternoon reading manga!

BUT

Made by Yours Truly! HEHEHE

Yeah, happens all the time for the not-so-popular mangas... SAD. And I know I have said like SO MANY TIMES BEFORE, so I shall stop the comparison between the mangas I'm reading & naruto.

Actually the Japanese Mags like LaLa and Hanayume comes out monthly, so including the time people need to translate these texts and "clean up" these chapters, it's months before one gets to read them. So sometimes the english translations may only be at chapter 33 while the newest ones in Japan are like already at chapter 56. Which makes you feel kinda impatient because you could have known so much more if you knew Japanese! (I shall go back to Yano Language School and brush up on my Japanese which has already rusted. Shall not express my regret because I would write a 10 page essay) SO yeah.... But the chinese translations are kinda fast! :) Next best thing to knowing Japanese! LOL.

Actually wanted to post some colorful pictures of Love So Life & Hiyokoi, but the nicer ones are in b/w.

And wanted to do a small summary, but I don't think anybody will know about it anyway? And if someone wants an intro, it's better to read wiki if you know what I mean...

If I were the me in the past, I would color it using photoshop, but as y'all know due to Mr.Apathy, my skills kinda deteriorated for the past 6 years =.= Plus, there's no point doing these things since I don't even go on crunchy roll anymore, so there's no "target audience" to show off to. LOL.

FROM:

making my own wallpapers using brushes

coloring anime pictures

creating my own avatar/animation in crunchyroll

downloading fonts

TO:

Editing pictures using iPhoto's enhancer for the sake of making them look better for CCA projects

OH, I MISS THOSE DAYS WHEN CRUNCHYROLL STILL RULED. NOW IT'S JUST. *SIGHS*

SO YEAH. MR APATHY AND MRS PROCRASTINATION VISIT ME OFTEN IN MY DAILY LIFE TOO. LIKE:

This occurs like every Sunday afternoon - night. Maybe I should just use this as the banner for my blog, instead of posting really similar things every sunday!

p/s:

Can't wait for something exciting to happen though! which could be:

a) the drama competition I signed up with my classmates for fun! I wanna help out backstage, HEHEHEHE :D

b) the carnival on the 25th :3

c) anything in school coz classmates can get HIGH, really fast

Only thing I am meh about is the interaction with the JC 1s next wed for CCA. Kinda scared since you can't really foresee what's going to happen & I don't think I can get any higher than I was during orientation last year. Or when I am in my comfort zone. >. >

Lyrics:

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess

'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My God, amazing that we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars

And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, all my secrets away

2012-02-11T20:33:00.001+08:00

Have been sleeping for 10+ hrs each day this week. Kinda freaky really... It's like, I feel really exhausted after school everyday even if I don't have CCA or PE. When I reach home, I eat dinner then shower then sleep. Had to sleep with my face downwards so that I won't get a bad hair day the next morning, LOL. Actually I only tried it for the first day, then gave up for the next few. Miraculously my hair was still okay the next day. "Miracles from the Chinese hair" my classmates say. Chinese hair as in straight, silky and black. "What sorcery is this" is what I would say. Chinese hair? LOL.

Best part is, I could still sleep in school! :)) muhahahahahahahaha! Good that I didn't have much homework this week. Then again, I felt more sleepy after taking naps, so yeah. And my panda eyes didn't really heal from the max max max sleep that one can get. #iamdoomed

WE ALL KNOW IT'S TRUE. ;D (Y)

2012-02-09T01:10:00.000+08:00

You know you've been there.. [OR STILL THERE]

2012-02-08T23:00:00.001+08:00

When you see a thing you posted or said in the past, and you just want to facepalm yourself...

or just:

because face palm is just too mainstream...

2012-02-05T20:23:00.001+08:00

Don't expect much from people, because most of them will never live up to your expectations. And when you do have expectations, things will never go as they have planned. Instead, do whatever you can and expect nothing out of it. Sometimes you can get the biggest surprises of your life.

That amazing feeling~

2012-02-05T13:24:00.003+08:00

2012-02-01T22:26:00.000+08:00

OMG....

I need to get a filter for the internet. Too much weird stuff in cyberspace. Got the major shock of my life when I stumbled across a gay porn picture (uncensored somemore!!! EWWWWWW) after clicking on a very cute picture. OH MI GOSH, MUA LIFE'S CONTAMINATED FROM THIS MOMENT ONWARDS.....

HOW COME PEOPLE WANT TO TRICK US INTO SEEING THAT PICTURE, I MEAN THERE'S SURE TO BE PEOPLE WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR THAT PICTURE ITSELF, NO NEED FOR EXTRA VIEWS. LOL. -.-"

NO OFFENSE BUT I THINK EVEN HOMOSEXUALS WILL FIND THE PICTURE REALLYYYY DISGUSTING.... YUCKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

CAN I SUE THAT WEBSITE?

2012-01-29T20:43:00.001+08:00

Feelings once in a while...

Thoughts on a sunday...

2012-01-29T18:46:00.002+08:00

Just get super sleepy and unmotivated during the weekends... But when it's Sunday, things are unlike Friday nights or on Saturdays. Coz you'll be thinking:

How wonderful. Everybody looks forward to Mondays, don't they? =w= SO MUCH THAT THEY DREAD SUNDAYS ALREADY. Could be also of church though. LOL.

This week shall be awfully long since we only had 3 days of school last week + we're supposed to be REALLY BUSY during CCA open house for the JC1s. Poor them, better enjoy life before they find out they've been jumping into a bottomless w(h)ell.

More about college by 9gag!

4) & 18) Is like SO TRUE.....

9)~12) doesn't really apply to colleges here, but in the US I guess.

20) Heard of it so many times but you won't be sure until you have experienced it yourself.

Anyways, tomorrow shall be looking forward to my messed up timetable while our juniors shall be looking forward to the results to their applications to a JC, Poly or ITE. Whichever choice, they'll find out soon that secondary school life was the best. :)

2012-01-24T23:42:00.000+08:00

School starts already? (plays dramatic music)

Why can't I be in China, Hong Kong or Malaysia, just in some other Asian country that has longer CNY breaks than like 4 days including weekends?

Should have used these holidays wisely, but like every other time, OF COURSE NOT! Borrowed some books home to study but they're still in my school bag - just nice for me to return them back to school tomorrow. My inner mind controls my mind I guess...

Will only be enjoying the holidays again until March, which our teachers say it'll be a week of HW + extra classes so it's like doing OT {meaning overtime in this case not occupational therapy -.-} but not getting a single cent in this case =3=
Oh, why can't they just put Valentine's day as a holiday? At least that'll give us some motivation in February and at the end of this month! But then again it'll be single awareness day too for the some of us. #foreveralone.

ps: shall update my CNY post soon~ ^-^
pps: not the AWESOME chinese video viewing app, but isn't Hiyorin cute~ HEHEHE
ppps: shall be burning some oil again, but not to burn the flats in this case.

It's CNY, again?

2012-01-23T12:43:00.001+08:00

OH YEAH! Can't believe my blog survived for 4 years according to the Chinese calendar! Opened this blog on CNY :)

For CNY, nothing much I guess. Nothing much to be excited about in Singapore during Chinese New Year, unless you talk about squeezing with the crowds in Chinatown, near temples, in Sentosa etc. Only some places have the festive feel, I guess. The heartland malls have their decorations that don't vary much year to year, and the night before there may be a gathering for residents to meet the members of parliament near your area. That's about it.

Anyways, I don't like going out during festive seasons because there's just TOO MUCH PEOPLE! Prefer lying on my bed and taking naps, or reading manga to pass my time. :) Sadly, today I still have to accompany my family and cousins to visit the Buddhist Lodge to pray and to another crowded place that sells food, but CROWDED as I was saying.... -______________________________-

Okay, going to the Buddhist Lodge is kinda meaningful since we're donating money there which will eventually be distributed among the less fortunate REGARDLESS of LANGUAGE & RELIGION! Quite proud of them (not like I'm they're parents. LOL) that they'll help those who are also Christians, Muslim, Hindu... and so on (HAHAHA, wrote 4 largest religions!) not just Buddhism! :DDD

Sighs, but must travel quite far.....

Would be rather happy in Malaysia since I can play with the fireworks (instead of watching it on TV here) ^-^ which I haven't done for eons! Plus the AWESOME food, who can resist?! And most of my cousins are gathered at my grandmother's house too... =3=

[to be continued because I have to go out in 30 mins?] Why can't mua stay at home? :{ But then again, don't feel like being forced to start my HW during this festive season. =.=

HAHAHA. LAZY TO BE CONTINUED. AS USUAL. :P

2012-01-22T13:29:00.001+08:00

After you've read & reread an INCREDIBLE MANGA which is clean, well-drawn, with a unique shoujo style + SUPER CUTE ^-^ ~ you don't like other mangas you read anymore =3= Happens every time...

WHY?!?!?! ｡◕~◕｡

Tried reading like 10 different mangas for the past few days, but they're too ordinary (both in terms of art & plot).... Even the same manga artist's other works also became pale in comparison. (I guess because this is the most recent aka BEST one? ^^) Hais... TT^TT My manga journey, shall it continue?
#firstworldproblems I guess... >3<

The AWESOMENESS of MANGA!

2012-01-19T01:00:00.002+08:00

Well, I am kind of attracted to pictures (preferably with colors) + sounds/music. So it may seem like I prefer animes & dramas over mangas! But actually this isn't the case! Though reading manga may get a bit dry at times (depends on the genre), it is on par with or even better than the dramas & animes!

Dramas or animes may not depict what the manga wants to portray, plus most of the time the cute chibi & beautiful parts are normally gone after these translate into anime & dramas! TT^TT Characters are also not as handsome and cute most of the time >. > truestory.jpg
And sometimes the best parts of the plots are gone, especially the climax. Then they replace it with something less interesting than the original.

So it would be better to watch the drama & anime adaptations first before reading the manga~ Not discouraging anyone in watching dramas & animes, but if you want to watch & read the same series, it'll be better to end off with the original (manga). Though some animes are really good! Like FMA! But then again, I haven't read their manga yet, so can't really make a fair comparison.

So now really hyped up about this manga~

It's Hiyokoi~ ｡◕‿◕｡

Okay, looks like a love triangle - again like so unoriginal... - but the plot is kinda different, since this only starts like wayyyy after the first chapter and I don't even know if it's going to be formed because there're only hints of it. Using MUA inference skills here!
I like this manga because...

1) The girl is SHOOO CUTE! More of like cutie 3.14. LOL. If you can get the lame pun I learnt.
She's so tiny and huggable~

2) The art is AMAZING! From chibi styles to the more realistic styles, the artist covers it all!!! All the expressions may be subtle but have hidden meanings behind them! :D
If you cover parts of the eyes, you can still guess the character's expression! I mean, how cool is that?
And sorrow/disappointment is depicted really well here.
Okayyy, maybe I just love this style of drawing. Or coz of reason (1).

3) Good character development! Coz not all guys are portrayed as knights in a shinning armor. Fangirling is over. LOLOLOL.

p/s: ~~HAHAHA, dunno wad's the manga name coz I forgot!~~ It's Hiyokoi~ ^-^ :P read the chinese version, coz it's much faster than the english translations. Second best thing after knowing how to read Japanese~ ^-^
Too bad I have STM, if not I can just read the Jap scans.... Zzzzzz

2012-01-18T17:38:00.001+08:00

HAHAHA, So true! :D

Thoughts on online shopping...

2012-01-16T22:31:00.001+08:00

Recently bought a wallet online but sadly after about 3 weeks it hasn't arrived yet! And according to the supplier, it should take about only a week before the order is confirmed and delivered to your house. A load of lies!!!!

First time online shopping, which I feel is quite a cool experience, and you can get things which are wayyyy cheaper than what are sold in shops outside. Moreover, most of the time the goods are unique!!! :D and I kinda like the feeling whereby goods are delivered right to your door in brown packages! But still haven't experienced it yet -_____-

Oh ya about the good I had ordered... OMG, these suppliers nearly tried to trick me. LOL. Okay, more of like cheated my feelings. Today receive an SMS that the colour I want is out of stock! Like seriously, after 3 weeks you tell me this? Then I was firm that I didn't want to change colour, and then asked when their new batch of stocks would be coming. According to them, it was tomorrow. Like hello? Only one more day before they replenish their stock and they still asked me if I wanted to change to another colour. I bet they just wanted to clear the remaining stock they have. How sweet.

So yeah, was kind of =.= about it, but sounded quite nice through SMS just in case they give me a faulty good if I upset them. Then it wouldn't be worth the wait...

So now I think I'll get my good like after Chinese new year. This kind of made me more unsure about whether I should continue buying things online... =.=

Okay, shall be back for more, until next time! :)

Rabbits

2012-01-15T20:48:00.001+08:00

This picture is creeping me out so
I am making this as small as possible.

Rabbits used to be one of my favorite animals.
Now, I am pretty scared of them. SERIOUSLY.
They are god's messengers (I mean in the anime. LOL) , but they have this creepy baby laugh like from horror movies. Not sure if it was intentional or not.
"All I heard was that bunny's creepy laugh and I jumped up and said "Holy S*#)@, what was that?" O.o"
Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

2012-01-15T01:28:00.001+08:00

Pretty bored this weekend. Could be the calm before the storm or the storm before the floods! Hopefully something exciting but meaningful will happen soon. :) Shall see tons of posts coming up for the following weeks about homework overload, I presume.

Tried to do some things on my to do list, but it kinda always fails. Like you have loads of things you want to do when you're busy but once when it's leisure time you just ignore them or find them so insignificant that you put them off for sometime in the future. Which means you'll never do it.

When using the computer, I guess I normally like to check on youtube videos / personal blogs first. But sadly, either people have just ignored their blogs (due to a lack of time or procrastination, I guess). Was pretty fun during secondary school days when you could check out how your classmates were thinking or feeling everyday. Back then about 1/4 people blogged regularly? And they would put their "real" feelings into it, unlike Facebook or Twitter. Either people never update their statuses (like me :)) or that they write something emotional but will never explain it. Then it looks kind of stupid when you look back and see your status. LOL. Which is why I shall never update my status. :)

Yeah, the internet would be great if many people still blog regularly. Love following blogs that do, though it's pretty rare... :D Even top bloggers don't do that everyday, so it kinda pulls the trend of blogging down too. And when you're really busy, nobody likes to blog. Too tired after going out. And it's kinda weird to blog about going out too, because sometimes you don't do much with your friends & family. And normally with friends, you can just sit down and chat for hours.

All in all it's really nice to look forward to something everyday, even if you don't go out. It really, depends on how you see the world though, and not how the world is. ♥

Reality check

2012-01-09T20:20:00.001+08:00

Looks like I'll be the few people burning midnight oil again! Don't you hate it when you do last minute work, but end up doing it for the wrong subject, so that you so called wasted the extra effort of staying up all night to do work? Slept only for 2 hours yesterday, also because of insomnia due to my backache. LoL

Yeah anyways, from a above paragraph I guess you can see I'm promoted or advanced, whatever... Both sounds good enough! The best part is that my whole class is still together as one class, which is pretty rare! :) really happy for everyone though actually I was kind of pokerfaced when I received my results, and after... It was like: okay, I'm promoted so now I'll have to be back to class and join the rest in our first lesson and hand up my homework which I didn't bring as I thought the release of the results would be very draggy.... But it was okay, since our new teachers are quite nice! Hehehehe

Shucks.

2012-01-08T22:36:00.003+08:00

While people are worrying about their O'Level results, I am worrying about whether I can even complete my homework for tomorrow which may not even be needed to be handed up. Results coming out tomorrow, and it's either - RETAIN or MUGGING LIKE CRAZY AGAIN.

If it's RETAIN, I guess there'll be tears?! Including the =.=ness that I wasted my time doing the holiday assignments. I mean, if they told us the results earlier I wouldn't even need to do them. Not sure if I'll cry though, I mean a year's wasted but maybe I can treasure the next 2 years very well. Happened to a few of my friends who are doing much better than their counterparts.
If it's PROMOTED, then I guess I'll have to continue doing last minute assignments during breaks again. =.= Coz I cannot finish all the holiday homework. Shouldn't have watched Rolling Love. The ending was pretty cliche BUT weird too. And if it's promotion, I guess I have to worry about my height & weight? HAHAHAHA, guess I'll need to run extra or something coz I ate too much during the holidays.... Zzzzz

Either way, it ain't gonna be easy. =.=
And I wished the school could at least give us the results earlier next time so those who retain don't need to do extra work and won't have to go to school early. I mean, we still have to join our promoted/advanced counterparts in school at 7.25am (super early!!! since I still need to travel to school O.o!) then go to the sacred place (or smth) where we will see how our lives will be decided. TOTALLY FREAKY since there'll be people mourning, celebrating or just being poker-faced. I have no idea which one I'll be to say the truth. And then those who retain can go back home after going to school to hear the bad news? That's so GRRR in my opinion! (including the homework reason.)

"They should just use the online portal to announce our results like the past few years. SERIOUSLY."
Yeah, so TRUE! HAHAHA, quoted from FB anyways.

Byes~ Have to burn midnight oil again but this time unmeaning-fully.

Wants to go back to secondary school days. So much fun & relaxing then. Oh wells...

Something meaningful :)

2012-01-08T00:26:00.002+08:00

Sum up of 2011. LOL, in 2012.

2012-01-06T14:23:00.000+08:00

Hellos, and here I am again! Normally I have a short-lived passion for many things, which in my opinion is kinda sad, because you don't really have anything you like for a long~~~ time.

Here's how my PASSION for things were for the past year (should have done this on the last day of 2011 to make it more meaningful. LOL.)

Popular english songs which I heard on the radio, e.g Falling Stars which I still ♥ . Used to listen to radio on my way to school everyday, until my handphone went berserk and could only operate when I didn't insert my earphone into it. TT^TT

Then it became Japanese songs~ Most probably because I was watching an anime that I really liked! I think it was Toradora. Forgotten, actually :P

Next was OPERA songs! I know, funny right? Because of Ferrero Rocher. LOL. But only lasted for about a week.

Then next was mainstream chinese songs. Most probably because I went KTV really often. So often that I nearly lost my voice. And the funny thing is, I wasn't the one snatching the microphone. Most of the time was nibbling while singing along SOMETIMES. Moral of story: my voice is PRECIOUSSSSSS xDDD

Following this was - KPOP! YESHHHH, I bet for most of y'all. Like normally I didn't really care about KPOP more than JPOP because it's not like I watch Korean dramas more than anime. But then when I heard Ryeowook's angelic voice (HAHAHAHA) I found out that KPOP was quite nice to listen to! Of course since it's ryeowook I had to start from Super Junior. Then super junior M then other groups which my cousins & friends recommended. Like SS501 which is disbanded I heard? So I guess I am a bit late? LOL. But I still know Kim Hyun Joong because my cousin is a great fan of his. And the best part is, he's a guy. I mean my cousin. LOL.

Then since it was KPOP, I started watching Korean dramas (this was like in december already)

From Korean dramas, I jumped into Taiwanese dramas! HEHEHEHE because I still prefer things is my own language? Nopes, not the reason. Dunno why but I'll only watch a drama if it has bishoujo and bishounen in it (does not necessarily have to be very young though) or if it has someone I know ( main reason! :) ). If not watching it gets kind of weird since you don't know anyone in it. socially-awkward-penguin.jpeg

Yeps! So now watching Rolling Love which was like from ages ago, but I wanted to watch it last time, so started watching it this year! :D Hoperfully it won't be another =.= story like Love Buffet (can click to read my nonsensical review. LOL). Which was why I didn't really watch romance dramas much after but started watching it again for no reason because I don't have much to do.... other than *AHEM AHEM*.

Oh yeah, forgot that I wanted to watch FMA Brotherhood, but these kind of action packed anime should be watched only when you feel (emotional/energetic) no idea why there's a tinge of irony here, but YEAH.

So my aim for this week is to:

And on Sunday night to:

Always had a habit of procrastination for the things that are supposed to be done, I guess. A habit that will be VERY HARD to change. NOPES not putting this into my new years resolutions for personal reasons. LOL.

It's 2012... already.

2012-01-01T22:35:00.001+08:00

Well, didn't know how to start the post since I couldn't even find nice pictures of "happy new year 2012" online. Why are people getting lazier and not making impressive pictures for me to upload on my blog. LOL. Remember last year I did one with the Karin and Kazune (OMG, forgot their names & had to google them) bunnies looking =.= as my new year picture. Yeah, did a bit of picture searching plus editing using my Compact computer - (Y) windows still win mac coz it can use photoscape. Can't believe I was so hardworking then. Now, I wouldn't even bother editing one pic on my mac.

Yeah, this year whizzed by extremely fast.
From:
getting your results
-> going to a new school
-> meeting new people
-> adapting to school life
-> getting use to the horrible timetable which i still hate TTM.
School is quite okay, but the timetable is.... *sighs*
This years gonna get worst. ~~Unless I retain and change my subject combinations or something.~~

Ummm, ya being SO positive on the first day of the new year. So I'll do the norm I guess:

1) Be more motivated
2) Look at (1)
3) Look at (1)
4) Look at (1)
5) Look at (1)
.
.
.
.
.

And so on.

Shall come back and do a better post because now I feel very =.=. Got mountains of unfinished HW to do and have been going out for the past few days that I feel drained. The thought of HW makes me... Hais... Like anyone would feel unless you're a mugger that feels that you're incomplete unless there's ∞ HW to do. If you're one please contact me at 999. Thanks.

Okays, found some cute pusheen pics. That describes me perfectly... *sighs*

Happy Belated Birthday - Natsume! & Updates!

2011-12-30T00:07:00.001+08:00

HAHAHAHAAHAAA! Totally forgot about him, not to say his birthday. Okay, actually it wasn't that I forgot about him, but that he isn't as important as he used to be. Now I still read GA on mangafox once it has been uploaded (i check every week if there are new chapters) and I read his updates on Facebook.

So when I saw some of his updates (not that they are even by him anyway) about his birthday, I was like OHHHHH, I forgot. His birthday is on the 27th of December..... Then... *lightbulb* the retests! LOL. Shows how interesting our life gets to be thinking about studying everyday =.=

Anyway, about the retests, oh I really don't know. Maths was kind of disastrous since I never even reached the last 2 questions of the paper, and even if provided that I'm a genius, I would have lost my "A" already. So as an average joe..... ~~[not going to continue since you probably know what I'm going to write next]~~
Chemistry was the exact opposite. Was sort of pinching myself because I kept thinking that it wasn't possible - all the questions were pretty okay! Well, this doesn't mean good news either since when I think the paper is doable, normally I perform badly. =.= Zzzzzz.....

So yeah, on the 9th of Jan it'll be DOOMSDAY! Not that anyone is going to be happily skipping to school on monday either, I mean, people do catch the monday blues easily.

So back to topic. I remember posting about Natsume's birthday in 2009. *Gasps* that means I've forgotten him for a year! Oh no! My fangirling is GONEEE! LOL.

I still can't believe people will wish him Happy Birthday! I mean come on, he isn't real! Okay, I think I'll take my word back, in case haters start spamming. LOL. And anyway, it's not like I don't imagine he's a real ~~boy~~ man while I'm watching it. I mean, if I didn't do that I'll be like: why am I watching a screen with tiny pixels on it which isn't even real and 3D and the mouth is a straight line with large eyes that are so unreal & even much larger than allison harvard's one and so on..... Then I'll stop watching anime. Or maybe TV series altogether.

Saying that, it's not like I don't do fangirling. HAHAHAHA. I think it's quite fun sometimes! And when your #foreveralone and normal life is BORING. DEAD BORING. Before it sounds weird, I mean I think about the character and the scenes in the anime/manga but NOT IMAGINING how cool it'll be if I date/marry him. That's a bit extreme for me... HEHEHE. SO I'll call it a tinge of fangirling...

Okay, this looks like a SUPER LONG post (yeah, not SUPER JUNIOR. LOL.) but I'm just blabbering on and on... so, yeah, I'll stop here and continue to be emo and draw circles on the ground. LOL. foreveralone.jpg

OH YA! FORGOT TO WISH HIM: NATSUME HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, AND NO MATTER IF YOU EXIST OR NOT, GANBATTE & protect the ones you love! ♥ YA!

A picture of Natsume & Mikan~ ^-^
Sounds a bit too mushy for me =.=
When I read this line I was laughing / feeling happy for Mikan. LOL.
Shows how romantic I am at that and this point in time. LOL.
Showing pic so y'all won't be shunned away by this chunk of words in this post. LOL.

P/s: Natsume is from the manga - Gakuen Alice! ♥ Okay, before you think I'm psycho, I'm not. =.= & Just being a bit more talkative today because I'm sort of wasting my time before I start on the mountains of homework that I had no choice to even start because I had to prepare for the retests.

Pss: Heys, I just realized how come the fans only celebrate his birthday? How about Mikan? Ruka? (could continue listing the characters forever...) *Sighs* Only the most handsome ones gets the priority I guess. Anyways, not bad that I still remember all the characters considering that I have lost half of my interest in it for waiting for the chapters to come out every month so slowly unlike Naruto which sadly, I have no interest in other than playing the games on my cousins' PSP because I can see the COOL ATTACKS they have without having to see in HD all the blood and gore that comes out in some episodes of the anime AND by now if you haven't realized yet I'm writing this long sentence because I think it would be really fun to read this without even taking a breath. Not that anyone is going to try, right?

OKIES... I ADMIT I'M BORED which is why I'm writing rubbish. LIKE NAO.

Tomorrow the retests will start.

Wants to look like this:

Made a rage comic on memebase to vent my frustrations. LOL.

Then I accidentally deleted the submission online. TT^TT

Well, at least I saved the comic in my computer first...

Anyways I will be like this during Christmas....

While everyone is celebrating outside and having fun. *Sighs*

Hello, I ♥ You

It's weird. You don't want the retests to come earlier since you don't think that you have prepared for it yet, but at the same time you really want it to be over asap! Already have plans about what to do after promos! What to do immediately after the tests are over and the remaining days before school reopens! Hehehehe.... But that will include the mountains of homework that has to be completed before the new school term starts.... Zzzzzzzzzz

Anyways, will have to prevent myself from distractions at home like the Tv, laptop, my novels and even small things that are insignificant normally but become really interesting when you sit yourself down at the table to study! And I'll have to work on my memory too! It's getting reallyyyy bad. Apparently I can remember random things and what to do after promos though, but can never remember what our chemistry teacher has taught us! Hahahahahaha! Tough luck being our teacher, but she's leaving this year!!! TT-TT shall miss her nagging and funny moments...

Picture below looks too motivational for me... LOL. Only picture I find relevant to this post and in my iPod though...

2011-12-13T22:42:00.000+08:00

Can google have a filter or something? O.o I was going to type something related to chemistry (because I was lazy to search through my notes) when this popped up on instant search. X.X

Better stick to my notes next time.

[Edited]

Later went to search online, "how to make time pass faster" because I was really bored - LOL. But the LOL thing is that when I typed "how to make" in google search, apparently the auto search showed "how to make love".
-________________- TTM. Is google dirty-minded or what?!?!?!

Not going to screen capture that, but it showed a youtube video as the first webpage. LUCKILY I don't use "I'm Feeling Lucky".

2011-12-09T21:54:00.001+08:00

Gets kinda sad to see everyone posting fun things that they have been doing for the past few weeks during the holidays while you have to mug for the retests. #lifesucks.
Missed the opportunity to go for a fun volunteering camp. Wasted my money too. Including the one for nyaa which i won't even be able to complete. =.=
Learnt a lesson bigtime. Not like it's going to help me much anyways.

If I don't pass the retests, either I'm going to the arts stream. Or poly. Or just commit suicide from the embarrassment you'll get. But then again, you won't be alone.

Reality TV is creeping me out! Shows how manipulated the industry is & how real the world gets when it's on screen. TOO much bitching & fighting over minor things. Isn't there more major issues to think about rather than deliberating which model to eliminate for 1.5 hrs?

On the other hand, videos on youtube just shows how ignorant we are about the world around us. When I watch EpicMealtime, I laugh, but feel a tinge of sadness inside. Why are they wasting food by creating these junk food and gobbling it down like cookie monster? Meaning that most or half of the food is wasted & dropped onto the floor. Could have been better if these food were meant to feed those who are starving in third world countries. I could be wrong about this though.

And when we zoom into our lives, we find ourselves spending most of our time just surfing the net, splurging our money or most of the time - doing something stupid. Do we ever think about helping those in society and improving the betterment for the world while living our comfort lives? Or at least using the time to do something meaningful? If so, I shouldn't be here blogging with a Macbook either. If the world is to have EQUALITY, it would be like a communist country where everybody suffers. And nobody, or at least those who are reading this now would even want to give up what they have now for something worse.

#Justsayin how REAL our world is today.

My Mirror Image from the Past

2011-11-26T09:56:00.001+08:00

I think it's kind of cool how I found someone who is similar (I wouldn't say on the extreme scale, but yeah. Coz she's too extreme) to me!!! ^-^ Well, the me in the past!

It one of my classmates, who is from China! And the best thing is, she's even more kiasu/auntie than a Singaporean! Quite similar to me in the sense - the kiasu part I mean. Because I was very scared of failure in the past! Not that I'm not scared now, but a lot less paranoid and more cheerful (or TOO CHEERFUL in the sense)

YEAH, actually I observed this quite some time ago but it became really obvious when the promos results came out. The thing is: she was very upset when her promo results came out. And. CRIED. For a few times. And not only on the day itself. I mean she scored "C" for nearly all subjects with the exception of GP (E). & For our school that really good already. With MANY failing at least one subject. And she kept saying she scored very badly. Most of the people in my class were like this (including me):

You can get promoted already and others still have to study for the retest, YO!

And you're criticizing us at the same time. =.=

And not only did people had to comfort her, they also had to comfort themselves later. LOL.

Well with the exception of MUA and a few others. Because we were too busy finding out how come we were STILL so happy after the results came out. Better see a counsellor...

Then after that when we bid our chemistry teacher farewell (because she was transferring to another school TT^TT) She cried. AGAIN. And nah, it's not because she missed her (or maybe to a tiny extent) but because "your results were really disappointing". This triggered the mechanism in her bones (because she nao haz no hearts for not considering the feelings of MUA and others) and tears started flowing down her cheeks after the teacher said that sentence... (the narrative essays can come later)

And later, when she did recover from her crying episode(s). She wrote on FB& MSN and announced it to the world: "Thankgod I passed my promos." All I have to say is: It was very effective. Double Damage.

Now I know how all the HATE came from in the past. LOL.
Yeah, but I didn't cry. -.-

& I've changed for the better~

P/s: Don't you love memes?

This is just... ABSURD!

The UFO is linked to the BIBLE? O.o

I was in utter shocked when I was told this yesterday on my way home. Actually I was on my way to the bus stop when I was stopped by some Christian preachers. First of all they asked me if I was busy. And of course I replied "yes".

Because I WAS rushing home. After getting sweaty & smelly from being a group leader at MINDS and trying to get the children enthusiastic! (will write about this enjoyable experience some other day. It felt really good helping these kids ^-^) I was tired and needed a hot shower ASAP & later 12 hours of sleep which I eventually got.

(back to story...) But they said they needed only a few minutes. So I decided to play along. Next they asked me if I believed in GOD. I am still on my journey to finding (or not) a religion which I would strongly believe in (not just the touch & go kind like how MOST people would be living their lives), so I said "yes". And I knew that if I said "no", they would "persuade" me to join their church, for sure. To cleanse my sins. Though it would be meaningful, it would have taken quite some time (I mean the talking). Especially when I felt like I haven't showered for days...

Oh boy, was I wrong. They continued asking other questions like if I went to church. Well, sometimes I guess. When I go for sleepovers on a Saturday. And if we didn't oversleep. So I wasn't lying about that.

Then somehow this conversation led us to reading aloud the believers' prayer, and then *drumrolls* the UFO.

I forgot how we came to talking about the UFO. If I'm not wrong, it was about DA END OF THE WORLD - 2012 and how God had been sending us messages through the use of UFOs. It is also said (I THINK) that they would be able to save us through UFOs.

WOAH. Religion is already something some don't believe in, and now comes another issue which is UFOs + Religion. I wouldn't say I am skeptical about religions, but I DO NOT BELIEVE in extraterrestrial objects/beings. So why is it that I've never heard this from my Christian OR Catholic friends before? And isn't it absurd how it can be related to religion? But one thing is for sure - they aren't scientifically proven. But maybe miracles can be created. Like how some religions do perform miracles.

Anyways, I better be watching out for Kirby before he makes a crop circle. Who knows, he may be related to Him in some way.

Anyways, you can lookup @ http://www.anunseenworld.com/ufo-and-the-bible.html for more info. o.O

EXTRACTS (believable?!)

As you will see, ufos and the bible are very much linked to one another in the minds of modern day ufologists. I've listed every occurrence in the bible that many people believe is proof that God was/is an alien from an advanced civilization. This belief is the result of a delusion.

What ufologists believe to be flying saucers in the bible are mostly just manifestations of God and the bible makes that clear.

NAMES OF UFO IN THE BIBLE

WHIRLWIND - II Kings 2:Verse 1 "And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a WHIRLWIND, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal."

Was Elijah "abducted" by aliens here? I think not because the text very clearly says that the Lord took him.

Seriously, get a life. =.=

I have such AWESOME classmates. ♥

2011-11-16T21:06:00.001+08:00

How discouraging. To be told this after promos is just - indescribable.

Just found out that H1 economics is the ~~worst~~ "one of the more difficult subjects" (as said by the teacher) subject a student can take. You'll find out why by reading the first reason below. Actually, there's only 1 reason. The second one is just. rubbish. LOL. And we were only told this at the end of the year and not even at the start of the year. They could have done us a favor by telling this to us when we chose our subject combinations.

Firstly, it is the only subject whereby the content is rather similar to its H2 (higher level) counterpart - H2 Economics. This was EXACTLY what she said anyway. This means that we study the same amount of content as those H2 students, with an exception of a few subtopics. YESHHH... subtopics. Not even chapters. SAD LIFE. And the BEST part is, we still need to study some subtopics that were actually "optional for H1 students" and this is because the school wants to "prepare students for the A'Levels". How wonderful. ~~Could have spent my time doing something which I liked if I had taken another H1 subject. Okay, I would have blogged more. So I'm striking this out.~~

Next, we were told that we were at a disadvantage if we had WEAK BLADDERS. LOL. Okay, this was actually said by me as a joke (if you didn't know by now), and can be applied to other subjects as well. BUT for economics H1 has a longer exam duration as compared to H2 since they have 2 papers. We only have one THREE HOURS NON-STOP paper. Okay, actually H2 is also kinda long although they have 2 papers, but only 2.15 hrs each. HAHA. But their essay makes up 60% of their score as compared to ours, 30%. SO they're also pitiful. LOL.

ARGGGG! I hate long duration papers! Having that for nearly all my subjects, with an exception of GP and Chemistry. H2 Geog is would be the WORST. 2 THREE HOUR LONG PAPERS. =.=
And I am really bad at controlling my bladder. Just look at my promos for Maths and Chem. LOL. Still can't believe I went to the toilet 2 times for Chem within 3 hrs. SERIOUSLY, I don't know how I survived through O'Levels. Okay, just found out the longest exam duration then was 2.30 hrs, whereby I was literally dying for not going to the toilet after 2.30 hrs. I remembered everyone rushing to the toilets OR back home to their toilets after the paper.

Yeah, anyways. Economics is quite interesting, really. And Geography too!
Science subjects. NAH. Only took it because I thought it WOULD help. (For courses in uni I mean, not the grades itself.) Guess not. I'll have to live with it, or at least until the end of next year. And then, I am 100% sure I'll divorce my Maths and Chem like my GP teacher says! LOLOLOL.

A science student, but always an art student at heart. ♥

You reap what you sow.
For those who didn't sow, of course they didn't get any harvest.
But for some who did, there wasn't any harvest either.
Was it due to their method of sowing, the type of machines or seeds they used, or was it just the environmental conditions?
Nobody knows this best except for the farmer himself.

However, one of the saddest things is that some farmers just can't identify the problem that prevented them from getting any harvest.

Some have gone berserk because of this and are having mental breakdowns.

While others have gone to search for the answers.

But then again, is justifiable that both group of farmers got the same outcome?

From a confused BUT pragmatic farmer that see the glass filled to the brim - with water & air.

Sometimes it's better not to prepare for anything, because it won't help.
Sometimes it's better to just stand in another person's shoes because it would have been so much better.
Sometimes it's better to preserve your voice after talking so much.

&Sometimes you get teased when you do it too much to other people... =.=
SO
Sometimes it's better to just stop teasing people.

2011-11-09T18:58:00.000+08:00

Haven't been talking in detail about PW, so today I shall do so, since tmr will be the day I part with it! HAHAHAHA. Or maybe when I get my results back next year if I wanted to be more specific.

Okay, so of course I won't be talking about our content, but people doing PW. My group members, as I have stated previously in another post are just GOSSIPY AUNTIES (actually this includes an uncle)! REALLY. But it makes up 60% of the group. =.=||| Like yesterday they spent 3 hrs talking about people in our school. YES. From our school ONLY. And they know like so many people and the 'stories' whether glamourous or not. I think they have SUPERMEMORY or something. Too bad they don't put it to good use though! HAHAHAHAHA.

SO this meant that me and the other guy was like -.- throughout the session. SO instead, I went to watch anime & play my iPod, while the other guy just went back to his room to play his computer games & watch anime also. HAHA. Same as mua! EFFICIENT but just really boring! It just doesn't feel comfortable to watch anime on someone's dining table! I rather lie on my bed and watch! Zzzzzzzzzz.... Which is why we decided that it's better to work in school. (but it wasn't so effective in school at the beginning of the year either...)

Yeah, then there are other groups.

There's one group which our group (and probably other groups) would want to strangle. Not only did they follow our format of using quotes at the beginning and start of the presentation, they also used cycle charts in their slides! And though this isn't very original I guess, they only did it after they saw our group presenting our oral presentation (not for the first time) last week. And we already did that from day 1. What is worst is that they so called combined everything from all the groups, like a master ~~photo~~copier. Like when one group had an online video, they added one too only after watching that group... And I thought they already had the quote for the beginning already? 画蛇添足 much?

Quite freaky really. My group was initially quite upset when other groups start to do the same thing for their groups (like using some ideas from our OP that is from our WR since we were the first group to present in front of the WHOLE CLASS) but I thought, well, maybe it's coincidence, so I was fine about it. But like I'm sure this group's a bit too extreme! Then when I said to the group, "Hey, yours quite similar to ours eh! HEHEHE (I mean in a friendlier manner)" They still denied! >.> Didn't want to reason things out since the members from that group wasn't nasty (okay, maybe they are after this!) but TT^TT They saw our presentation 3 times, even if they don't know the topic, they would know the diagrams and contents. Some of my members were super "pissed off" as they would say, but I just feel quite -.- *sighs*
Oh well, I just hope they'll still find our presentation original...

Anyways, will have to JYJY! >.<

p/s: Group members would be even more upset if they heard that another group (who already had close to full marks) went for another round with the teacher today. Though teacher already said that she can't have extra sessions! It'll be a secret here! HAHAHAHA!

Without Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)

we would have: 

No iProducts

 No over expensive laptops

  Without Dennis Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – October 12, 2011)

we would have: 

No Windows 

No Unix

 No C

 No Programs 

A large setback in computing 

No Generic-text Languages. 

We would all read in Binary..  

They died in the same year and the same month but it seems only few notice the death of Dennis Ritchie compared to Steve Jobs.

Updates

2011-11-01T01:44:00.002+08:00

Guess I haven't been updating about my daily life for quite some time, just posting some pictures & quotes that I found interesting, or made up myself - hahahahaa...

To be truthful, I don't really have much motivation to write about the things that are happening & are going on in my mind since it can all be reflected in a picture! :D And I don't think I'll read what I wrote in the past. Either it's too draggy, dry or just too embarrassing to be ~~seen by the world~~ read again...

Umm... so I think it'll be a pity to delete my blog and not to update, but I guess my postings won't be as often (as in updated on a daily basis) OR long as that in the past? :)

Anyways, nothing very interesting for the past few weeks. Just:

1) PW, practicing for OP. Hmmm, can get a bit bored at times even with EPIC group members.
2) Waiting for the promo results to come out. More like watching others waiting dreadfully. Okay, actually more specifically it is assuring people that they won't fail so badly or do well enough for the promos. =.= Like WT_, people should be assuring me since if somebody were to be in my shoes, they should be crying buckets now. But anyways, SUPER NEUTRAL about it already or being TOO CHEERFUL because by helping others & not thinking about my own grades. I'm running away from reality... ... ...

3) Manga reading kinda dead. Just following up on latest chapters for those ongoing mangas that I read but is updated every few eons.
4) ANIME! Watching FMA now. LOVIN IT!

The only highlight of the week was FMA. REALLY.

Religion - you better have one

2011-10-29T10:37:00.003+08:00

Although there is a lot of controversy surrounding the issue, the balance of the evidence shows that religious people are healthier and more long lived compared to residents of the same country that are less religious.

Not being discriminatory here. I don't have any preferences, really.
You can say I'm an atheist, but I like to say I'm a free thinker.
If one's morally upright, it doesn't matter whether one has a religion or not.
Even though this may be so, I respect all religions.
I feel they are of equal importance. No superiority.
Unlike what some religions say, I don't think there's only a god.
I'm sure that there's a god lying within every one of us.

Yes!

You won’t give up, yes!
Because no matter how tough the case is, tomorrow will still come
I’m, yes!
Always on your side, at any time
If you have a positive attitude, yes!
Even on a night, night when you’re all alone, you’ll be fine
Because I’m rooting for you; we’re together

For me, too, sometimes I unexpectedly shed tears for a moment
Even if I speak up, my feelings get tightly bound up, tightly
But no matter when, after all, if I’ve got friends
Then when I realize I’m pouring the cooled rose hip tea again, I can make a smile
If we open our hearts honestly and face each other
Then you won’t be lonely, because I’m by your side
I love it, yes!
Your smile, smile! Show it to me again tomorrow
I’m, yes!
Always on your side, at any time
If you look up, yes!
A new step! Try taking a step forward
Because I’m rooting for you, I’m always watching

I can’t lie, or they’ll call my personality detrimental
But even if I always get fooled more than I fool them, I won’t regret it
Even nails painted with effort will surely wear off someday
But I want to be a me who can repaint them over and over again
Even believing in people shouldn’t be hard
Try showing some courage, because I’m by your side
You won’t give up, yes!
No matter how tough the case is, tomorrow will still come
I’m, yes!
Always on your side, at any time
If you have a positive attitude, yes!
Even on a night, night when you’re all alone, you’ll be fine
Because I’m rooting for you
I love it, yes!
Your smile, smile! Show it to me again tomorrow
I’m, yes!
Always on your side, at any time
If you look up, yes!
A new step! Try taking a step forward
Because I’m rooting for you, I’m always watching

You won’t give up, yes!
No matter how tough the case is, tomorrow will still come
I’m, yes!
Always on your side, at any time
If you have a positive attitude, yes!
Even on a night, night when you’re on your own, you’ll be fine
Because I’m rooting for you; we’re together

This has been super popular in tumblr for the past 15 hours.

I felt so DUMB after I found the answer - I had to search on the notes on tumblr for the answer. Couldn't find the mistake for SUPER LONG. -______- Just tells us how much 11 years of education does to us.

Exams are over - FOR NOW! (And RANDOM plans & comments & complaints.) - LONGEST POST EVER!

2011-10-06T20:20:00.001+08:00

Okay, the title seems kind of misleading since it sounds like I am pretty excited that the exams are over. In reality, I am just neutral about it.

How can you be even contented when:

1) The maths paper today was horrible. Believe me, Mid-years were much easier. Mid-Years was a piece of cake, I mean compared to the promos. This comes from someone who got 28% for maths during mid-years. And who said that the promos would be easier so it would allow us to be promoted? Sighs... Could only do the proving questions. Yippee. But when I checked the mark allocation, it was the lowest like 1 or 2 marks. And there were like 2 proving questions only?

Anyways, was feeling pretty =.= when it ended. And people like one of my classmates who is a scholar started to cry. Because she said she had lost 60 marks. Paper was around 92 marks. This means that she needed to get As and Bs for the rest of her subjects since she needed an average of C for ALL her subjects (to think that I never even got a grade higher than D before) , which is ~~pretty~~ EXTREMELY difficult, or if not her scholarship would be terminated. o.O It's pretty hard for them, but it's not like getting an E is easy either. I couldn't even say how much I lost. It would be easier counting how much marks I could obtain, in like 10 seconds.

Saw a lot of people doing this. Before, During and After.
(Y) I was also doing this.

Everyone was complaining after the exams. Could hear it from the school and even on the way to the MRT. The whole stretch of people was from our school, and every single person was talking about the same thing. Everybody was like "febkbfkberbferbmnsxznlxapkqo!" with large hand movements. Just shows how epic this promos were. And someone told me it was harder than the past year promo papers. Plus it was harder than NJC's papers. Yeah, we're on par to NJC, a school for science and excellence. *faints*

2) The chemistry paper was EPIC too. For me anyways.

Stayed up all night ( only slept for 2 hours ) on tuesday to cram for geography. Just gave up on chem on the spot. Because I revised for it in less than 1 hour. CHEM & GEOG - BEST COMBINATION EVER. Had to give up on one. If not how to complete cramming for either subject?
Yeah, thought maths would allow me to get a low E - a pass in general- so I gave up on chemistry. MAJOR MISTAKE.

So on tuesday I didn't eat dinner because I was feeling bloated. Maybe due to a lack of sleep on monday to cram for economics. Then on wednesday morning I didn't eat either. So how LUCKY was I when my stomach started rumbling during the chemistry exam? Drank lots of water - so much I had to leave the classroom to refill my water bottle. MAJOR MISTAKE NO. 2. And I left the classroom twice (2nd time for the toilet ) that even the invigilator started suspecting me. I suppose they thought I was going to cheat or something. Yeah, if I had to cheat I would shove the whole 1-2 kg chemistry textbook under my skirt because I needed help in every chapter.

SO. ~~It has come to the conclusion for my complaining.~~ What I learnt from this:

1) DO NOT CRAM. EVER AGAIN.

2) DO NOT CRAM. EVER AGAIN.

3) DO NOT CRAM. EVER AGAIN.

4) DO NOT CRAM. EVER AGAIN.

5) DO NOT CRAM. EVER AGAIN.

And the list goes on.
Now I'm just hoping that :

1) The rest of the people don't do well, so that the whole cohort does badly and we can retest again. And then I'll have to study for the next two months while people will be going on holidays. Like to Korea. TT^TT Me wanna go too! >. > And we had plans - previously. Now I am sure I can't go. ANYWHERE. Other than school.

Tests of any kind - DOOM.

At least it's better than retaining. Or even be kicked out of school. Then I'll have to go to poly and spend a total of 3 or more years doing tertiary education. They may not even accept me. And I would have wasted a year. Let's not think about that.

Talking about poly, the new uproar that was going on about them having higher transportation fees than JC students. Okay, I have no comments on this issue, I mean I am not as free as them. But there was one comment that particularly annoyed me.

" It's so unfair how the government treats the 'smarter students' in JCs by giving them lower transportation fees!"

Umm... HELLO? Have you forgotten about ITE, another path that one can take after the national exams in secondary school, which has the same transportation fees as JC students? STEREOTYPES. If you want to compare, at least bring everyone into the picture.
Okay, back to No.2 of what I hope for...

2) I won't get bottom 20% in the cohort for any subjects. =.= But I am pretty sure I WILL. AT least for science subjects. And hopefully my humanities will do me justice. I studied the most for them after all....

OKAY. SO if you've read up to here. It's really amazing! 921 words to be exact. But to be truthful I wouldn't even read something that's this long. Okay, maybe for articles under psychology! AND WITH PICTURES. A MUST. Which is why I added so much for this post

You're AMAZING! ♥

SO... Today, went back at around 11-12am and slept for around 5 hours straight. Now feeling pretty tired still. Maybe from sleeping too much.

Well, the only things I can look forward to these days:

Let's go KBOX! xD An addictive activity.
Which makes people SUPER HYPER!

1) Going out to PLAY! With my AWESOME FRIENDS! And anyways, how come the word "awesome" is so popular nowadays? Or was I living in some sort of tribal forest for the past few years in my life? I mean it seemed to me that so many people around the world use it this year! On TV, and at school. I have no life as my world only revolves around TV and school. LOL.

2) Doing things under my "post-promos programme list" YAYS! Like watching anime, reading manga, being an otaku and stuff. And did I tell you about ANIME FESTIVAL ASIA? Hopefully I'll be going! ^-^ With some crazy woman and her cosplayer friends~ xDD

3) Lots of sleep. Hope that my cheeks will look more rosy with more sleep. My face has aged by 10 years. And it has worsened from secondary school. In the past people complemented me for having good skin & hair. Now it's just the hair TT-TT Huhuhuhuhu..... And I can blame many people for spoiling my skin, since they pinch mua cheeks! D:

4) MORE SLEEP!

5) Glee and ANTM. Which I am going to watch in youtube & megavideo. Well, actually I have been following the episodes all along, so I only need to watch this week's episodes. I know, my priorities are different. Watching Glee and ANTM comes before studying. So I don't need to catch up so much after promos. XP

For glee: Talk about the "ASIAN F" episode this week. An A- is like an F to all ASIANS.

Sidenote: SORRY TO ALL ASIANS. I LET YOU ALL DOWN BY ONLY GETTING A "D" GRADE AS MY HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENTS. *SIGHS*

YEAH. It's been a HOT TOPIC. KevJumba's video's about it are SO TRUE. AND FUNNY AT THE SAME TIME! A MUST WATCH! & SUPPORT HIM! :D Because his videos ROCK!

An extract:

The real video! But has some other stuff!

And of course to watch all the videos on youtube, like anime & funny ones!I know I am saying this again. PLUS TO HAVE FUN, FUN, AND ENDLESS FUN!

So now I'll be off! ^-^

RIP Steve Jobs

2011-10-06T19:28:00.002+08:00

Steve Job's death. The whole world is talking about it right now. A global phenomenon. It's really saddening, since he was like one go the GREATEST MODERN INVENTORS. DEFINITELY OF ALL TIME. Proven by google's front page. It's indicated there today! And he has been through so much hardships before Apple (iPhone) became famous. And then iPod. Macbook. And iPad. It was hard during Apple's pioneer days. Not many knew about it, with so many other companies like Microsoft, I think who was their hugest competition. I only knew about it because one of my friend's family used to use Apple when their computer's were the boxy kind... The OLD COMPUTERS I mean. Forgot what it's called now. HOWEVER, now it's as famous as ever. Because of him.

RIP Steve Jobs. You will always be remembered.

Okay, this is a JOKE. A pic I found online.

Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011

Sometimes you regret taking subjects that:
1) Falls on the same day
2) Requires intense memorising
3) That you should have studied weeks ago
4) Can't cram
5) Doesn't make sense
6) Needs practice.

Bleh. Now mua is escaping for reality so that I can cram all the info tonight. After this, I would have learnt my lesson. TWICE.

Small words mislead you...

2011-10-04T14:48:00.001+08:00

You would be thinking that there will be no school on Monday since you don't take Chinese/Malay/Tamil literature but weeks later when you get your post exam schedule you are upset to see that you still have to go to school on Monday when the minority have their promo exams! This had just spoiled your plans since you would have had a 4 day holiday as you don't take physics, literature, or general studies in another language on friday either. Of course your physics and literature counterparts are mad about it too as they will still have project work and lectures on their supposedly off day - Monday - as well.

Then finally when you see your exam timetable this week for promos, and it's the second day, mind you, you realized that the message had been passed to you much earlier before this. It was on the bottom of the exam schedule which was given 2 weeks before the post exam activities timetable was handed out. In tiny letterings of course. Like in commercials.

Yes. I broke my promise of not blogging. shows how addicted i am to the internet. This is supposed to mislead you. with small wordings.

2011-10-02T20:11:00.001+08:00

YIKES! Tomorrow promos are starting!
And it doesn't help at all that they'll be including 30% from class tests and Mid-Years.
How is it humanly possible for one to get at least a 70% for one's promos if you got approximately 30% for your science subjects during mid-years? So you can have an overall pass... I am so DEAD. -.- BOOHOO.

Wish me luck that I'll ace the rest so I get a chance to retake the exams... Sighs...

And I'll be mugging like MAD after promos for the retest ( which I don't even know if I'll be able to take ) so you won't even see me blogging about mugging ever again.

Adiós! Won't be blogging until this Thursday, when I officially end my papers~ Super HAPPY, since most people end on Friday!

I'm grateful I don't take literature. Or physics. For once.

-Sadly, I don't even think I'll be able to rejoice on Thursday. Although I am still planning on going to playnation next week :DD

Picture (& complaints) for the day...

2011-10-02T00:07:00.001+08:00

Can't seem to be in a study mood YET though it's promos in 1 day or so? Looking at my peers mug like tomorrow is the start of A levels just freaks me out so much that i just freeze on the spot. Where is the old me that would study like MAD so I remained top or at least top 5% of the cohort? Sighs... Nostalgia again. And complaints. This is how my blog was born sadly. I have no life...

Shall resize and position the photo next time I go onto blogger on the laptop. And find a better pic online instead of a smiley rabbit which was so called the most emo pic I could find on my ipod...

And after promos I promise I'll never talk about mugging or slacking again... Tired of talking about it myself, but for now there isn't anything exciting or is bothering me anymore than this. Proves again that I need some excitement in my life...

And colours....

2011-09-30T14:21:00.002+08:00

Really feel like dozing off every time I see my notes...

Really want to go out and play

Really can't wait until after promos!

2011-09-30T14:16:00.002+08:00

Should stop blogging now since it's the promos.

Should have said this last week because now it's too late.

Should continue studying for geog instead of surfing on the net every 0.5 hrs, 3 themes to study although 0.5 of it took me like 5 days?

Should scream at those who look down on geog, actually at those who think arts are easy.

Should have mentioned at the start that science & maths isn't easy either.

Should just conclude that JC life ain't easy.

Indecisiveness KILLS....

2011-09-27T22:49:00.000+08:00

OMG. Just realized that I missed the deadline for signing up for the SAL Law prgramme. D:
Feel kind of sad.... since I always missed opportunities. I sign up for the event, but forget to go OR just decide to escape from reality due to insecurities. Not that sad about missing this programme itself since I am more into psychology and sociology, and it'll be unfair to those who really want to study law in the near future. Still, it's a pity, since you didn't sign up on the website after signing up on the school portal. Okay, this case was an exception, because I really forgot about it. T-T

SIGHS. I just want to change my character of being TOO HESITANT AND INDECISIVE. TT^TT
And to take note of the main details and not be distracted by the minor details with little significance. Thankyou. Mua will be switching on the air conditioner instead of working out how it works.

Literature - I miss you!

2011-09-20T22:01:00.001+08:00

Reason why I didn't take literature. Can't understand
Shakespeare and most forms of classic literature.
This includes Taming of The Shrew which is killing many of
my classmates, WITHOUT MERCY.

Haven't taken literature as a subject for such a long time - 4 years! It feels like eons though.

Recently, my classmates have been talking about Wild Sargasso Sea which interested me! Sargasso sounds like a type of vegetation though, LOL. The story is quite interesting, since it's a perspective from one of the secondary/minor characters from Jane Eyre. "The most striking difference between the two novels is that Wide Sargasso Sea transforms Rochester's first wife from Bertha Mason, the infamous "madwoman in the attic," to the lively yet vulnerable Antoinette Cosway." This is according to wiki anyway. So it's quite cool, since you can understand how a so called "madwomen" thinks in situations when she goes insane.

But I think the story will be kind of sad, although I only read the summary with MANY MANY SPOILERS ( as usual, I love & hate spoilers ) because in this case Bertha will die of suicide when she goes insane. Pity her.

Just realized that there are really good books out there, which are classics that one shouldn't miss. It's the kind of categorized under "100 books you should read before you die"... More info can check one of my posts (FYI clickable) which I don't even remember when I posted it.... Okay, maybe not. But a MUST READ. Now it makes me want to go to the popular/kinokuniya/times to get these books. Aww... just missed the borders-which-is-going-to-close-down-soon-awww... sale. >. > *sighs....

Wonder why one wouldn't like literature in secondary school. I wouldn't admit I hate literature, but my marks ( for both English and Literature ) are TOO WONDERFUL and the books that we were given to us to read were kind of for primary school in lower secondary. *sighs*

I still ♥ Geography though, even though this post is dedicated to literature... At least I ♥ the human part of geography which makes me less drowsy as compared to the latter...

p/s: can check out this website too, to find out about the greatest novels of all time. :D
But it's kind of different from the previous one I posted. Non-fiction all time books to read too, since I found it along the way...

らき☆すた Lucky☆Star

2011-09-18T23:55:00.000+08:00

One of the best animes I ever watched! Although it has no epic storyline, and is about the everyday lives of the 4 main characters & their daily conversations, it's really addictive! Always heard that it was a MUST WATCH anime, but thought it wasn't that nice so I didn't watch it until this week. Oh boy was wrong when I started watching it! The opening song is very catchy too, もってけ!セーラーふく Motteke! Sērāfuku! Played it on Taiko Drum even before I watched it, so I'm quite familiar with it! It's so cool how a song with so many characters speaking so quickly (and sometimes full on nonsense) can be so catchy~

The characters are all so CUTE and have unique personalities! I love seeing Konata in the anime because she's so COOL! Hehehe... Like how she's really pro at gaming ( including taiko drum master ^-^ HEHEHE! ) and gets good grades although she does last minute mugging/cramming the night before the exams... Life's unfair after all~ *sighs* BUT BEST OF ALL, she's an ANIME & GAMING ADDICT! I can totally relate to that!

Tsukasa is the good natured but clumsy girl, which gets confused in conversations! I was laughing my head off in one of the episodes when she failed to follow her homework schedule for the 1 week holiday and had to stay up late the day before school reopened to complete her homework! She kept dragging her time, and every time she did her homework, she would feel so tired that she fell asleep so that her scheduled time to do homework was gone! Which is kinda relatable to me.... TT^TT Sadly, now this is happening as I am typing this....

Anyways, those who call themselves anime-fans (or a-z_anime-fan(s) specifically... hehehe...) should watch Lucky☆Star! You'll find it relatable to your life, which makes things even more interesting!

P/s: Now I can finally understand why my friend kept buying the Lucky Star mangas.... Didn't know it was so addictive. And somemore, he's a guy! Well, then again, this isn't a shoujo anime & manga either. It's categorized under comedy & slice of life~ ^-^ Just how I like it!

LOL. And just realized there's english translations for Lucky☆Star too! Thought there was only Japanese.... >. > Showing the ignorant side of me again.... D:

Feeling like a lost sheep now.

2011-09-17T22:37:00.000+08:00

Just read a comment given by my teacher like about 5 years ago. I'm still sporadic. Or even more worst, I am not responding to anything. Guess sometimes things develop in a different direction than intended to be. I need more motivation in life, but I don't really feel like searching for one anyways.

Feeling like a lost sheep now. Give me a splash of colors to fill up the gaps in my life. Or should I say give me extra splashes of colors as well, just in case these "fillings" become "gaps" again. I wouldn't want to wish for something twice, nor do I want to see the dentist again. Pleading someone for something makes you uncomfortable, after all.

Human's best friend is pessimistic....

2011-09-17T22:11:00.000+08:00

Robots see the glass as half empty it seems...

Sounds like man's previous BFF - DOGS. BUT I'm talking about robots here, not dogs. For those people even more unknowlegable than the ignorant me, check the news to see if humans would still regard these mad animals as friends after they bit our own kind DEAD. Not that I don't like dogs. Just that I'll be more careful around one if I do see one on the streets. No offense to any kid, parent, aunty, uncle, dog, cat, frog and so on.... So the new BFF of the human shall be the ROBOT which the human, himself has invented.

ROBOTS are ESCAPING FROM REALITY TOO. Why do they even have to COPY ALL MY MAIN TRAITS?

Maybe it's because negative people like us are influencing them. Or that they were created by some mad scientists who felt the world was coming to an end. At least SOMEDAY, it WILL.

2011-09-17T04:01:00.001+08:00

Have been thinking about this at the start of the year already...

I really want to make a tumblr account and probably continue my blogging from there! I think tumblr is quite cool, since you can repost what others have published on their blogs! I'm really in love with the anime pictures, cliche motivational quotes as well as those funny motivators and pictures that people post of tumblr! Always made me feel like reposting them on my blog, but sadly blogger can't do this.

The only reason why I am continuing with blogger (and even not changing the address) is because i started my personal blog with kirby-dreams.blogspot.com ! It's like an infant that you have taken care of, and it's quite sad to abandon it. (Not like I have any emotional attachments or anything.) And there are my old posts which I spent a long time writing for!!!!

Sighs... If only tumblr could let me take my blogger posts with me as well as my address. Sounds like I'm moving with my children to some foreign country eh?!

Anyways, don't think I'll be moving anywhere for now, since I'm a content little bird that likes to stay in my nest. ^-^

P/s: btw, this is done by the new blogger app for iphone (though mua is using ipodtouch).... FINALLY!

Procrastination & Perseverance

2011-09-15T22:14:00.000+08:00

(Y) Evil twins that will never get along with each other....

Ironic. But SO TRUE. You can only carry out work effectively just before the deadline. Which is normally at 12 midnight. Your hand just starts moving at least 2 times the speed a moment ago. MAGICALLY.

The only thing mua can blame on if mua faints during the week before promos when I'm last minute studying.

And these quotes make no sense, at least to me.

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.” Newt Gingrich

Er.... if I'm tired, i just stop. And rest. Why continue?

“Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.” Walter Elliott

summation of short races = long race.
Just like:
1km + 1km + 0.4km = everybody's FAVOURITE thing to do.

Now I am lazy to continue writing, so I'll finish this post some other day, as always~

Wikileaks @ its best!

2011-09-14T19:09:00.001+08:00

And so for the final answer to my question:

~Allison~

2011-09-09T14:14:00.002+08:00

She's one of the reasons why I started to watch ANTM! :D She just looks TOO CUTE with her doll-like eyes and quirky personality! Yes, she may look soft and cuddly, but she is actually eccentric which is why many people call her creepy-chan! Her artworks are WOW. & I just love those puppy eyes of hers! *Me wanna have big eyes too!*

Tyra: " I used to have nosebleeds all the time..."
Allison: " JELOUUUSSS "

LOL. This made me laugh real hard.

Although she was the runner up for cycle 12, but she's back for cycle 17, ANTM all stars! YAYS! They will only start airing on the 14th of September, so I suppose I will have to wait for sometime to watch it online... But it's still AWESOME!

Aww... Who doesn't ♥ her?

Don't know what's wrong with me.

2011-09-08T23:03:00.002+08:00

When I am in the mood to study, I feel:
HUNGRY
SLEEPY

When I am not in the mood to study, I:
EAT
SLEEP
SURF THE INTERNET
BLOG

How in the world am I supposed to study then? >.> OMG, don't wanna retain. =.=
But how am I supposed to do that when I sleep 3hrs+ afternoon naps?
My whole life just revolves around food and sleep.... ZZZZZZZzzzzz
Haven't even started studying and I'm supposed to finish 5 papers by this week + a revision package. MAJOR STRESS.

Baumkuchen!

2011-09-08T22:36:00.001+08:00

Today I tried baumkuchen for my first time! I had always wanted to try it after watching Yumeiro Patissiere where they made some baumkuchen during one of their baking lessons! >.<

Baumkuchen is a layered cake, a traditional dessert in Europe and a popular dessert in Japan! It's also known as a "tree cake" in German, since it resembles tree rings! THE KING OF CAKES!

Making Baumkuchen requires skill and A LOT OF PATIENCE! That's because you have to wait for each layer to be baked properly before pouring your batter over it to make another layer. If you're impatient, and add the batter too quickly, the Baumkuchen may drop into the batter and you would have RUINED THE WHOLE CAKE! D:
But if made very nicely, the rings will be well done and it'll taste really delicious! ^-^

And they have chocolate coatings on some too! YUMS! But didn't get to try the chocolate one! T^T

I also didn't get to try Baumkuchenspitzen - German for "Tree Cake Points," are miniature versions of Baumkuchen that are created from the cake scraps that fall during the cake's creation on a spit. These pieces are typically coated in chocolate and sold separately. ( according to wiki. LOL)
Got to eat this next time since I am a fan of chocolate!

Just found out that there are different variations of Baumkuchen too!

It is the Baumkuchen cake which has the jelly of the raspberry inside, it contains that sweet taste of the cake and the sour taste of the raspberry jelly.

It is the shape of pear, and the Baumkuchen cake has the jelly of pear inside.

It is the shape of pear, and the Baumkuchen cake has the jelly of apple inside.

Source: http://mrnaomi.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/japan-baumkuchen/

For those who want to know how it tastes like, I would say that it's fluffy and light! And sweet too since it has a layer of sugar on the outermost layer! Although it's very soft and spongy, you can still feel the layers as you bite into the cake! Sweet smelling too!
Many say it looks like the German version of the Indonesian Kueh Lapis, but you'll be wrong here! Personally, I prefer the Baumkuchen since it's more buttery and less oily & rich! AND MORE FRAGRANT! But you've got to admit, it's quite fun peeling off the layers for the Kueh Lapis. You can't really do that for the Baumkuchen since it's SOFT! But overall the Baumkuchen is more YUMS! Or maybe because the kueh lapis I ate didn't taste so good. LOL.

I bought the small packet of Baumkuchen, and I regret badly, since I ate it all up quickly! And I don't get to see the whole tree ring, since it's only 4 pieces in a packet! I need to buy the whole cake the next time, and it's around S$10 if I'm not wrong! Worth the money since it's a traditional cake and you can't get it in most places! It's awesomeness is only known when you have tried it yourself!

You can get some ( if you're living in Singapore) at the Juchheim store at Takashimaya! :D You will also get to see how they make the Baumkuchen - the whole process! YUMS!

Anyways, according to wiki, it's quite popular! :D

In popular culture

In Clamp's manga series Kobato., the character Genko runs a Baumkuchen shop in the woods.
Baumkuchen is made during class in the manga series Yumeiro Patissiere.
Top Chef: Just Desserts contestant Morgan Wilson made a horizontally layered Baumkuchen as part of his final course in the first season finale.
In the video game Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, a Baumkuchen is available at the bottom of Gelato Mine.
In Gainax's animated show, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Stocking orders Baumkuchen through a company called "Hop Whip White Baumkuchen." (Episode name: Nothing to Room)
In chapter 781 of Gosho Aoyama's manga series Detective Conan, characters are shown serving Baumkuchen while investigating a case.
In Fumiya Satō's manga series Young Kindaichi Case Files, Miyuki is found eating Baumkuchen in the murder case of Kenmochi.
In chapter 18 of Yoshitoshi ABe's manga series Ryushika Ryushika, Ryushika's big sister bought a sliced Baumkuchen.

Disclaimer:
I am not advertising for Baumkuchen! LOL. Just want to post something yummy on my blog! Haven't done that for a LONG~~~ time!
Pictures come from their respective websites. Just took them from google! Was too lazy to take my own pics (and didn't remember too, when I am supposed to be a photographer?! My passion for photography isn't that great, I guess...) and I ate mine up already!

2. 天秤座- 永遠稱讚人多，得罪人少。

Bleh. The unfairness of this world.

2011-09-05T23:30:00.001+08:00

I never understood the meaning of fairness.

You always worked diligently, but the slacker who puts up an act in front of the boss gets promoted.
You started studying from the start of the year and your results are like SHIT. Your neighbour who did his studying the night before, gets straight As.
You work together with your partner, you do all the work. He takes all the credit and gets praised for all your contributions.

You've got to admit. There can never be fairness in this world. You don't even have to begin with the North South divide. Just start from you, and the people around you. You see a major difference.

Now, it's kind of sad to see all your hard work going down the drain. But it is even more heartbreaking to see other people gaining success when they haven't even broke a sweat.

A typical example would be a situation that occurred in school some time ago. These people will be referred anonymously, of course. Person A was copying her notes furiously during the lecture that day. She looked kind of determined, since she knew her promotional exams were coming and knew she had to pay attention to gain the most out of this lecture. Person B on the other hand, was doing homework for another subject during the lecture. She felt that since the lecture wasn't tested in the upcoming test, she didn't need to pay attention AT ALL. After the lecture, Person B borrowed Person A's notes and copied all the things that Person A wrote. What was worst was that after copying, Person B requested for Person A to explain everything to her. Yes, every single detail. And Person A, being a person who didn't like to displease others explained it to her. Grudging or not, I have to idea. ~~If I was her, I would have just summarized everything. LOL. My time is MONEY!~~

Okay, I don't know how Person A felt, but I am sure if you are any ordinary person you would have felt that it was unfair. Or at least a tiny bit of unfairness here. I mean, if you were feeling unwell or absent during the class, I would gladly lend you my notes. If you didn't finish copying what was on the slide, I wouldn't blame you - I mean we all copy at different speeds right? Even if you slept during the lecture to recharge yourself for later, it ~~wouldn't be wrong. ( Quite common in my class. LOL.)~~ Okay. Sleeping in lectures is also wrong. =.= But for making use of other's hard work when you did NOTHING even when knew you had to do it yourself.... This is JUST SELFISH.

This situation occurred quite frequently for a few months. Then came the critical moment. The major exams. How did each of them fair?

Well, you are right, Person B did much better than Person A.

Yes. WT_

WT_. My stupid GP teacher just threw me extra homework by saying I didn't complete my newspaper cuttings. BUT I actually did them all.

What a responsible teacher, by stapling my work with someone else's work. And yes, I wrote my name on every assignment I did. It could have been a mistake, but I am kind of fed up about the way she conducts lessons. Losing her temper every time she's in a bad mood and saying swear words in class ( yes, even those horrible ones that students would NEVER DARE TO USE. And did I mention I don't use ANY swear words. The WT_ thing was a joke between a classmate. And I don't even put a letter at the _, so I think it's polite already. ). And I thought teachers weren't supposed to do so? What great tales about them about being good role models to us.

Yes, her mood changes faster than the weather. Definitely. There was one time when a few of us were late for class by a mere 5 mins and she started shouting her head off. Then another time, this girl ( whom is more of a truant person ) came late, coming in after 10 mins and she was very forgiving. Maybe she was showing favoritism somehow. That girl had owed her 10 pieces of homework and she only gave her a reminder, not even a warning. Oh, and did I mention that I always forgot to bring my books when she is in the mood for punishing those who forgot to bring them. That's just PURE LUCK. Then other times when I brought my things: 3 tons of workbooks, textbooks, notes and file, she doesn't even bother to check them although she said clearly the day before that she wants to see them on the tables during the next lessons.

Maybe, I just don't have ANY AFFINITY WITH THIS TEACHER. HOW WONDERFUL.

2011-08-18T23:09:00.002+08:00

I miss days when I could go home before 6 pm.

Sometimes when you speak the same language, it doesn't necessarily mean you understand what is being said.

Silent anger [noun]
A type of anger which is supressed and may have side effects of explosion. A situation when you feel like punching someone's face, but you only end up having a scream that is echoing in your head continuosuoly.

OF ALL THE THINGS I HATE, IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE.
If it has happened a few times, I wouldn't mind - it's human to make mistakes. But if the mistakes happen countlessly, and instills fear and trepidation in people every time it is made, you have gone over the mark.

I wouldn't say I have a nice temper. But I have been forgiving every time you made a blunder and sometimes I am pulled into it and have to face the consequences with you as well. Every time, it's like I have to patch up the holes that you have made, although it was never my responsibility to do so. From now onwards, I am not going to do anything anymore. So what if the holes are never mended? If you don't want to fix it, why should I? Like the saying goes, all for one, one for all.

I may still be my usual self in front of you, but that is only because I don't want to strain our relationship. But in reality, your reputation has been forever blemished.

2011-07-26T23:59:00.000+08:00

OMG! I am super happy~ Because I passed my NAPFA. LOL.

Like after training for about 2 weeks (which is SUPER LONG, I assure you), all of our hard work has paid off! Although I kind of slacked through the training.. heheh... Like when they asked us to do a total of 90 push ups ( but not consecutively of course ) I did only about 30? And don't elaborate on those lunges ( yeshhh... we call it the proposal excerise) that sprained my ankle last week even though it wasn't so serious this time and I had to continue PE... Guess I am not ready for proposals yet XDD.... And there is one exercise ( forgot the name ) which you have to support your whole body by only using your arms on a bench where your whole body has to go down. OH GOSH! I hate that to the core. After like 20 times, you literally want to just chop off your arms! Which is why you had to cheat - it wasn't an option. ALL THESE AWESOME exercises to train for my incline pull up. HOW COOL.

Anyways, I was so surprised by my super capabilities for NAPFA! :D Okay, maybe not super enough to get a Gold or even silver, but nonetheless, I never had any achievements like it before. HEHE.

For example, I improved greatly for Standing broad jump! First time in my life that I could jump further than my height. Although the training wasn't even for this. I got around 177 cm, yeah~ AND I jumped correctly for THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! Okays, I just skipped the bending legs part and jumped after the first swing. I guess it was just pure luck. Cuz the next time I jumped, it wasn't even 170cm. Maybe because I was too satisfied already. HAHA.
Sit-ups I got an A, although I didn't have to again... =.= Cuz I forgot what was the passing grade.... What's the use of an A if you didn't get it for the rest. LOL.
Then for shuttle run, it was okay I guess, even though I have a REALLY SLOW reaction time. It's like when the teacher says go, you'll still be sort of in a daze before you started running. AMAZINGLY, I still had a 11.4 s timing after that SLOW REACTION. :D
For sit and reach, it was EASY of course. But I got only 40 cm. LOL. Because I didn't really care anymore. It was the last station, and I knew I had passed! YIPPESSS! Could have re-taken mine like the teacher said, but oh wells.... XDD
OH. AND THE MOST DIFFICULT STATION IN MY WHOLE LIFE - for now - the incline pull up! Seemed like a miracle that I could even do 3. But I exceeded and did 5! ^-^ Like when I was doing the 4th one, I was thinking: it's enough already - you passed it! So I stopped at 5 due to slow reaction time. HAHA. Had to preserve energy for the rest of the stations since this was the first station, you know!

Apparently, I did the best among the people who retook NAPFA in the class. O.o WOW. Something new for once. I was told how come I never showed my superpowers to them. And of course I replied: I just found out about my superpowers today! HEHE. But it's true. Didn't even know I could jump above 170 cm. I think the only reason why I was called superwomen was because nobody in the clique could jump beyond 170 cm. LOL.

Complaints after midnight

2011-07-26T00:50:00.001+08:00

Nowadays, manga is either too short or too draggy. It's like all the one-shot mangas I have read could have developed into a more meaningful story, but the author/artist just stops there, and you feel kind of depressed for wasting your time on some short story. Then you completely forget about it the second you stop reading it.

♥Gakuen Alice

On the other hand, there are some mangas ( like KWMS and GA) which are getting too draggy! I know sometimes you want a manga to keep ongoing so that you can continue reading the developments in the story, ( whether it's love, friendship, rivalry etc.) but it really gets frustrating when the cliche moments appear again and again and stupid plots are placed in just for the sake of continuing the story with no significance at all. Like today, just a few minutes ago I was reading the latest chapter of GA chp 149 apparently, and the actual plot could be summarized in no longer than 2 sentences. I didn't even get excited throughout the chapter and I even skipped some pages. pathetic. Now I am only continuing with the manga because I hate dropping manga and that it's a habit for me to read every new chapter once very 1.5 months it is updated. I don't even really know what is going on, although I re-read the manga twice already. I think my mind is stuck at the 77th chapter + previous chapters because I can remember the plot. which used to be AWESOME. The 78th chapter and beyond one was kinda dry, with a few funny exceptions. SIGHS.

罪案分析：真是的，狮子杀人欲望很强，见过狮子杀人吗，由于其性格的刚愎自用及火爆，所以很多人都会自动的避开与他们发生冲突，所以狮子座杀人的比例有很大下降了，不惹他一般懒得理你的！还没看到哦。。。
占总体杀人案：10% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：4.15

第四名：水瓶座
这么快就把我排到第四了，不要让我太显眼啦！我真的那么喜欢杀人吗？不对吧！
罪案分析：这个星座不好说，杀人情况很复杂，O.o一般比较集中在情杀、奸杀这两个方面，而且很多都很难破案，所以这个星座逍遥法外的情况很严重，不过有一个很有趣的情况，很多被杀者(男性)都是水瓶座！
占总体杀人案：8% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：3.32

第五名：金牛座
啊！我也会杀人啊，我怎么想不到呢，我很冷静的，我是不会杀人的，我只是一只勤劳的牛！
罪案分析：听说过牛脾气吗，嘿……嘿……，一般这只牛只顾自己的事情，懒得跟你争论，不过如果你知道了这牛干了什么坏事后，千千万万别跟他说，无论你跟他是什么关系，否则他第一个会先杀了你，最好还是报警去吧！
占总体杀人案：8% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：2.87

第六名：处女座
文文静静的处女怎么会杀人呢？再说我是多么的谦逊有礼，就是他打我，我也不会还手的！

第七名：双子座
嘿嘿…………看来我才排在第七名，我要多多杀人才及格呢，好，我以后就会多多努力杀人的！
罪案分析：这个星座杀人的情况跟水瓶座很相似，不过很奇怪，几乎百分之百都被抓住。双子座的杀人欲望仅次于狮子座，所以这个星座的人因突发事件而杀人普遍性很高，所以如果这个星座的人能够冷静一点，犯罪率会下降很多的！
占总体杀人案：7% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：2.02

第八名：白羊座
我现在才知道，我也会杀人啦！以后我一定会小心行事，不跟人家打架了，我要做个好孩子！
罪案分析：很多白羊座杀人犯的人本身并没有杀人的欲望，他们很多时候会想也想不明白自己怎么会杀人了这样也可以。。。 -.-，这个星座中由于一时冲动打架，以至他人受伤及死亡的情况很多，如果这个星座能很好的克制自己的情绪，情况会有很大的改变！
占总体杀人案：7% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：1.57

第九名：射手座
不会吧，我的箭从不用来杀人的，如果射射老鼠，我倒也会很乐意，但用来射人我是不干的！

占总体杀人案：7% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：1.20

第十名：巨蟹座
我只会杀自己，我不会杀别人，当然你不能欺付我的家人和孩子，要不我真的让你后悔一辈子的！
罪案分析：大家记住，万万不能伤害巨蟹座的家人，否则你无论是谁，他都会让你竖着进来横着出，很多被杀者都是一些权高富有人士，也有一些第三者之类的被杀者，所以无论你是谁，你甚至可以欺付巨蟹座，但就是不能欺付他的家人，否则你就完蛋啦！
占总体杀人案：7% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：1.10

第十一名：摩羯座
我看起来一直都是仁者，我是不会杀人的，你放心吧！再说我也没有空闲去做如此没意义的事！
罪案分析：大家放心吧，这个星座一像都很谦让，所以大多很好，不过有一些很特别的例外，所以没法让这个星座的包尾，因为这个星座往往会听信他人的话，或纵勇而造成的，所以这个星座的某此人应该深刻一点看待问题，自己决定好自己要做的事！会吗？哈哈哈。。。也许有例外吧。。。好像感觉比天秤还好哦。。。 >.<
占总体杀人案：7% 平均每个杀人犯杀人数为：1.07

第十二名：天秤座
我好高兴，我能排最后，哈哈，我才是和平的使者，不过还是不太满意这个排行榜！下次我要公平的审理你！

Project Work

2011-07-23T21:49:00.002+08:00

Haven't being updating my blog that much. Nothing interesting has happened recently, unless you count PW as something interesting.
Nah, unlike the seniors said, PW isn't like hell. It's just substantiating every sentence of your document which is actually common sense.

SHEESH! If stress burned calories, I would be a size 2. -.-

Did anyone say that I am stressed? Nope, I am not.

Misunderstandings....

2011-07-11T21:04:00.006+08:00

This is kind of stupid but I still wanted to share because I think it's kind of funny! :D

Anyways, today after school when I went home via MRT. And I quickly alighted. When I first stepped out of the station, the first thing I thought was: how come there are so little people today? Normally we have at least 30+ people alighting but today there was only a mere handful of people of about 10 people?!
Then I stepped out of the station. Where's that bread shop? And why is the whole place so deserted? Where's the escalator that leads to the shopping centre?

Then suddenly, I released something! I had alighted at the wrong train station. I alighted one station early! LOL! Maybe there were too many things going on in my mind. ~~Like how my percentages for my maths and chem are less than 30%. Not to say a BIG FAT "U".~~

Then I had to go into the station again and wait for the next train to come! Haiz! A waste of my energy and time~ HEHE.

Okay, some things that were going in my mind was probably what the MUGGER thought of me... HAHAHA. LOL. No lah, wasn't really ON MY MIND SO MUCH (buying the jap rock candies were! which I can't find in cold storage T-T)... but I think quite interesting leh...

Heard from my classmates that he thought I was the class top mugger! O.o My first reaction was: What the fish???? Even a blind person could see that I was the slacking type! And anyways, his nickname is "mugger" ( just that I am kind enough not to call him that) , so even if I mug also cannot win him. Who would do extra maths/chem/physics questions outside school in the hawker centre while eating! I would concentrate on eating the yummy food and talk to my friends! AND normally if I so-called mug in school it was only for doing last minute assignments. LOL. Cuz I read manga when I get home, so no time to do HW. HEHEHE.
BEST OF ALL, I sleep during most of my breaks, especially when they have H2 physics which half of the class takes, so they don't see me sleeping.
Even my friends know I am quite lazy, since they always get "encouraging motivations" from me such as assuring them I haven't studied for a certain test or done HW, so they feel more relieved and feel like we are "on the same boat". -____- I have such good friends... =.=

The only reason I can think of why he thinks I am a mugger is because I met him while I was buying assessment books. So that means buy assessment books -> will do them -> will do them daily -> a hard-working student -> mugger. SADLY, I will only remain in stage one. And the books become untouchables! Actually the lecture notes are a bit different from the assessment books ( which have no standard topics ) so the books I bought was sort of a waste. >.> And the only reason why I was there was because a friend stood me up. O.o And last minute called to say she couldn't make it while I was one station away from the area so I might as well go.

Oh yeah, another reason was because I joined the cambridge programme of going overseas for a summer school exchange. Most people would want to go there to upgrade themselves, but I had actually wanted to go overseas and do sightseeings. LOL. but I opted myself out afterwards HAHA, cuz must have interviews and must skip 2 weeks of school ( when it's close to promos so that means must work super hard after I return which is impossible for me)... And he kaypo enough to find out who is in the programme when he isn't even in it.

But eh, not bad, he has a good impression of me. :D
Am I supposed to thank him for taking me as a worthy competitor when it's kind of stupid to compare with someone who has 2 Us for the mid-years ( and probably 3 Us by tomorrow) with his 3 As?

P/s: reminds me of this funny misunderstanding conversation I came accross online...

Dead brain cells...

2011-07-08T15:10:00.000+08:00

Carol Yew, don't have to be so SAD anymore. I can assure you I flunked all my subjects....

Chem: Just got back my grades! And of course.... I got a U... -______- Expected but still kind of sad. Since ungraded sort of means not being graded which also means that whether you took the test or not makes no difference. I thought I would fail my MCQ but I didn't. It helped me increase my overall score, but the U is still there. Now I don't know why I said I thought the structured questions were easier than the MCQs after the test. I got 0/10 for one question although I attempted it. And I got around 5/20 for another one which I spent about 45 mins doing. =.=

Maths: I am doomed to fail. Only about 5 people passed? And there are more than 5 muggers in my class, whether they are silent or not. "Mugger" meaning that they will ask questions after every class, do the optional challenging questions and will finish their tutorial before class unlike a somebody that will do it during class. And last minute study. HAHA. So I guess I will see my U again next week

Econs: A subject that I kinda like as compared to the other 2 but liking it does not necessarily mean passing it. Didn't get back the results but went through the paper. Most of my ans weren't even there. And the teacher said for a 10 mark question the highest mark was only 4/10. WE ARE SO DEAD.....

Geog: The only subject that I had hope of passing? But guess what? I spent the last 15 mins of the paper (total time for paper: 2 hr 15 mins) finishing the last 3 essay questions of the paper that is consists of 1/4 of the total marks. Didn't even complete the questions and left some important points out. Completely forgot to flip over to the other page with the questions until I saw people scribbling like mad and questioned myself why I finished my paper so quickly while others were slowpokes. Guess I was the SLOW one this time. -.-

Oh yeah, forgot to include GP but I never thought of passing it anyways. Heard from our teacher that several classes failed paper 2, with a tiny handful getting a pass. Our results aren't out yet, but it's not like paper 1 boosts our confidence.

What wonderful exam results! Now I don't even need to say proudly that I have obtained F9s in my subjects. =.=

Addictions to Manga

2011-07-06T22:19:00.006+08:00

Now my life feels SO meaningless without MANGA! YESSHHHH. I even crave for it in school, or when I am not using the computer. I think I am probably addicted to it already. =.= This week ( which hasn't even ended yet) I finished about 2 sets of manga this week, total of about 140+ chapters all together?! Sometimes I just like to stick to REEL life instead of REAL life. REEL life is so much more exciting and meaningful afterall.

Signs that you have manga addiction:

You find your life TOO NORMAL & BORING.
You are moody/quiet most of the time because you are in your own world. Fantasizing?
You want to complete reading a manga the moment you start it. And after you have read it, you stop to reflect about what has happened in the story for a moment, then you move on to read another one.
You occupy your free time and homework time @ home to read manga. So that you rush your homework during the midnight, which I will be doing today :D
You never stop thinking about the storyline wherever you go.

YESSSHHH! AND you feel really excited when reading manga so that your face turns red.

Hatsune Miku + Hello Kitty

2011-07-03T13:34:00.002+08:00

What happens when you put the two largest pop cultures in Japan together?

You get.....
The Miku Kitty!
And there are also other Kitty-Vocaloids too~

Aren't they adorable! I believe this is one of the best collaborations done with Hello Kitty! I mean, this is even cuter than the original! And I love the eyes of these characters! It would have been nicer if they followed their original eye colours though... Because the rest of them have the same shade as Miku's eyes while theirs should be blue if I am not wrong?

Anyways, I want to get one of the Miku-Kitty's merchandise! Utter kawaiiness~ ^-^

I wanna get one of these T-shirts~ Or the plushie below~ ♥

Aww...

2011-06-30T18:46:00.004+08:00

The Mid Year Tests are over.... After so ~~much~~ little of mugging, now I can finally rest! But it's not like I didn't rest before the exams anyway. =.= I kept going online watching clips on youtube & on facebook. I went online on facebook everyday this week so that I could escape from the mugging. In the end I always wasted 2+ hrs online. -______- Feeling very guilty now for not putting in any effort, but I'll leave the complaining when I get my results with all those red marks.

Don't really want to think about the exam questions anymore, since I am pretty sure I will just collapse after thinking about it. HORRIBLE, especially H2 Maths. First time that I'll feel relieved if I even get a question correct in today's test. & I don't ever want to see my targets anymore since I didn't even get a pass in tests not to say an A. It is so different from A.Maths although it is pretty much related to it. Sounds weird? Similar to geography. Some things are unexplainable until you experience them.

Anyways, these exams just remind me of TARGETS. And I made a comparison of how my TARGETS have dramatically changed over the years...

Sec 1 - Straight As of course!
Sec 2 - Getting As for my languages and maintaining straight As in other subjects
Sec 3 - At least a B in HCL and Physics please? The rest should be consistent like last year.
Sec 4 - Givemme a pass for HCL. Anything to make me not take Chinese again after I graduate.

So, from this timeline -> It's from an "A" to a "B" to a "C"

AND NOW... JUST GIVEMME A PASS FOR ALL SUBJECTS!!!! so I won't get kicked out of school!

Okays... It's the 300th post so I should add something happy... Like: luckily I didn't take history or physics if not I will have to go to school tomorrow. And feel even more dejected since I don't think anyone can study after the test today.

Kirby is going to sleep now and complete this post some other day because she is too fatigued to continue after sitting there like she is an alien for 3 hrs today.....

Cannot Focus.... T-T

2011-06-28T21:50:00.000+08:00

Keep doing cat stretches ♥
Hopefully I can survive until tomorrow without any sleep.

Goodbye, Holidays~ T^T

2011-06-26T15:58:00.000+08:00

Yep... the exams are on its way! So starting from tomorrow, I'll be mugging ~~all the way~~ sometimes. LOL. That's what they call last minute studying, but better late than never I suppose! Had quite a fulfilling holiday, since I recharged myself a lot like watching animes/dramas and reading manga! And becoming 花痴???? I guess I have changed a lot. LOL. Of course, I also met up with my friends and had lots of fun!

Yeah, so I won't be blogging starting from today onwards - i hope. Will still be going online though, since all the maths answers are online for the tutorials. Which means secretly going online to "take a break" which then becomes much more than just 10 mins. Need to start revising for maths before thursday though! And well, the worst day would be on wednesday. Chem + Geog - ultimate combination. I wonder how I will survive through a test and still stay alive for the next paper, which is normally when I'll take my afternoon nap.

Aww... the holidays are over in a flash! >.< Wish they could come back again! Don't want school to start THAT SOON, not to say the exams. Which is why I said that this holiday was sort of for suffering. Making huge decisions whether to study or to take a LONG BREAK. Guess I took the latter, which I bet I'm going to regret in a few weeks time.

SOS! NOPE it's, SMS!

2011-06-22T14:02:00.007+08:00

Yeah, I am saying "save my soul!" because it's the last week before MYCTs! A feeling of nervousness? Or even slight mugging? NOPE. I am SO dead. I am pulled down by my addiction of manga and anime/drama. -_______- Please! Any soul out there who is willing to pull me back into reality! Do your thing!

Yep. Anyways, today I'll be talking about a new drama I watched. :D Within 2 days only! Because I skipped through the redundant parts of the episodes and watched the EPIC moments in the drama. The intro above was to make this post sound grand FYI.

So I came across this drama through a manga I randomly found on mangafox. I was lazy to read the manga (Parfait Tic!) since I prefer colours over words and started with the drama first. Guess the drama! I don't think anybody will guess it correctly so I'll just tell you the name. Love Buffet,愛似百匯! Surprized? Because it's a taiwanese drama! Most of the time I only watch english dramas and Korean/Taiwanese dramas on television - I am too lazy to search it myself. But I rarely watch dramas online, with an exception of Glee~ ^^
I am going to write this post in english when I am supposedly to do so in Chinese since it's a Taiwanese drama.Yeah... I am SLOW at writing chinese using Macbook. It was much easier using my old laptop =.= cuz they had this cute picture when I typed plus jap emoticons plus it was smarter at knowing what I wanted to write.

The story is about: ( just took it from dramawiki)

Xiao Feng (小风) [chinese name reminds me of Kaede in mirmo! Yesshhh, I watched the chinese version which I find has more feel to it] is a lively girl, who loves to work with kids, she also is starting her first year of college. When the arrival Yi Cheng (一诚) and Da Ye (大业), her new neighbors; who also attend the same college that she does. she has to figure out a way that she can survive at school, knowing the two hottest, richest guys are sharing a house with her. Yi Cheng is a quiet, handsome guy, who can't get over his past romance, Da Ye on the other hand, who is cute, charming and very sweet, doesn't know the meaning of love, he is quite a playboy. But when Xiao Feng falls in love with Da Ye, He can only say he doesn't know what a real relationship is. Heart Broken, she finds herself being comforted by his cousin Yi Cheng, falling for him now, she is once again broken hearted, and crawls back to Da Ye. Will Xiao Feng find the perfect guy, will she be able to survive the pressures at school, and home? Find Out On Love Buffet!

* Okayss... putting the chinese names so that it has more feel to it too. Because I watched the original, chinese version with no english subtitles so it feels kind of weird to see it in English.

*The girl is kind of a 花痴, I think so it's kind of =.= when she's madly clinging onto love. 花痴 means anthomaniac apparently in many dictionaries, but it's not what 花痴 means! More of a type of infatuation in terms of romance, I would say. Yeah, I know quite a few 花痴 people....

Yeah. So in summary, a COMPLICATED love triangle. I like the drama because the main characters study social work in university! :) So it's pretty sweet! Wiki said it was sociology, but it's social work when you see the drama. (which is why you can't trust wiki at times)... The drama is also quite FUNNY! :DD Yeah, yeah, the romance between the main characters is pretty sweet too! Especially with 一诚! Like got a lot of sweet moments with them together~ Sometimes which I think is more of fuuny & bleh... LOL. ^-^ Guess you can see who I'm rooting for eh?

Oh yeah... but the most funny part has got to be 宜静, who is this super paranoid girl who thinks too much about things.... OMG, I was laughing like crazy when she kept speaking out what is in her mind! E.g.
Boy: "maybe you are more beautiful than you think."
宜静: " Why must you tell lies"
Boy: * 0.0 look on his face. * thinks to himself, this girl no cure already...
& one of the best parts: 我说你可以先走没有关系。我这个长像半夜也不会有人非礼我的。
LOLOLOLOL!

The ending is pretty unexpected!!!

*SPOILER* Don't say I didn't warn you! I also read the ending first. LOLS. So you don't get a heart attack or feel like you have depression when the ending goes wrong or not the way you thought it would be.

Ending was pretty disappointing, since 一诚 didn't go with 小风... T^T Most of the fangirls support them too, so some are discussing the issue heatedly. It is assumed that 小风 was with 大业 although the ending is not so obvious.

*END OF SPOILER*

So now I understand why people rather have cliche endings than ~~horribly~~ unexpected ones. Then you'll feel like you wasted your time watching it and cry in a corner like some emo person. Normally I don't find it too bad. I mean, the process was sweet right? So just watch & remember the sweet parts. Which is why I normally read the endings FIRST! ^-^ HEHE. If it's not too heartbreaking like this one I'll continue watching. But if someone dies or something, normally I'll stop. ( haven't occurred to me though.) OH NOW I WANT A CLICHE ENDING! PLEASE~~~~~~

HAUNTED HOUSE

2011-06-20T01:37:00.003+08:00

Okayysss... so I decided to go and help out at the haunted house, since I didn't want to break my promise and feign sick.. etc.

Today met up with JC to go to sengkang MRT station where we would have to transfer to the LRT station and travel to Bakau (destination for haunted house) . In the end we got pretty lost and delayed the meeting time by 45 mins. who knew that there were 4 ways to travel via the LRT in sengkang? Normally, it would make common sense that there were only 2 ways to travel, since there are only 2 routes (loops). Like one platform per loop. As shown below.

But then there are 4 directions:

@ Platform1:
Route A: Clockwise of left of sengkang station. starting at senkang & through Renjong, tongkang... in a loop.
Route D: Anti-clockwise of right of sengkang station. starting at senkang & through ranggung,kangkar... in a loop.

@Platform 2:
Route B: Anticlockwise of left of sengkang station.
Route C: Clockwise of right of Sengkang station.

*How come all these stations sound so similar? -_______-

SO apparently, thinking that there was only 2 routes ( in whichever directions -clockwise/anti-clockwise ) I rushed to one of the platforms which showed that it went to the Bakau LRT station. Then the train came and we boarded. After arriving at the first stop that we couldn't even alight from - chenglim- we found out that we had took the wrong side.... actually JC was the one to point it out. HAHA. Then we alighted at farmway thinking we could take the train back to sengkang since it would be faster. BUT, when we alighted we found out that only one side of the platform was in operation (SO ~~STUPIAK {LOL. learnt it from THE NOOSE}~~ STUPID! ) and we would have to take the same train that we took previously and take a big loop back to sengkang where we would have to wait for the RIGHT TRAIN to come and go to bakau.

Anyways, enough of the LRT stuff. Cuz it's quite common for people to get lost in LRTs. Happens to all who took it for the first time / haven't taken it in 5~6 years.

So when we FINALLY arrived at Bakau, we were lead to the depths of a housing estate to prepare for the haunted house. Initially we did make-up and change in costumes. Since there were a lot of people, commotions were frequent such as an overlap in roles / technical problems / people who needed to eat. So we had "hungry ghosts festival gathering" 3 times today. We didn't really care about who were outside. We just went out with our costumes to eat. :P

My costume & makeup was pretty simple since my role was not really for scaring people. And I don't really scream like a ghost, so my role was just right for me. For my costume, I just put on a white shirt over my original shirt and it was splattered with streaks of red dye (blood) which also contained cornstarch. Since the shirt was not very long, They could still see my shorts, so it was kind of anti-climax. Unlike others with LONNNGGG dresses which I was glad I didn't have to wear. And it got dirtied in the splattering process too! My original shirt was also affected since I just wore the white shirt over my original one. Now it has streaks of red at the collars. =.= Luckily it's my billabong shirt which i wear once in a blue moon. For my makeup, just pinkish-red lipstick. But it was very hard to wash off. It only came out just now when I scrubbed my face several times in the shower. Some very unluckily ones still had some very obvious scary makeup which could not come out even though we used the makeup remover on their faces several times.

So my role was to.... *drumrolls*
direct people to place their hands inside the box where a hand would be there to grab them & block the pathway to the next area, giving way to them only after they completed their tasks. It was kind of boring since it was either people were too freaked out and ran out of the area / casually put their hand in and even shook it / screamed like crazy THROUGHOUT the haunted house. My face was like =.= when these customers of ours were screaming madly. Apparently, many people said I looked scary like this (=.=|||) .Weird. O.o

Only if they put the hand in the box were they allowed to go in the tunnel (permission by mua. LOL.) which is the EPIC AREA! The epic area was after the hand-in-the-box part where there would be ghostly hands grabbing the customers hands & feet. The ghosts hid in between two garbage bag sheets ( which was the main material for the whole haunted house). In the end, the feet grabbing took over the hand grabbing as everyone at that station tried to hold onto others feet as long as they can or even untied their shoelaces! >.< I also joined in the fun of grabbing feet after I let them through the tunnel. I could proudly say that the EPIC area was also the scariest part of the whole haunted house. So it was good to play a part here~

But there weren't many customers since this was part of the carnival and the carnival didn't attract a lot of people, to many's dismay. They said that the community centres didn't promote the carnival enough. Most of our customers were families with children and teenagers ( from our school ). Some even repeated coming into the haunted house. This also meant that we had many short breaks, but we couldn't go home early. To my dismay, we only left at 10 pm when we were supposed to be released at 9 pm. T-T So I reached home at about 11.30 pm?

Hehehe... But we got to scare & hold onto the MP's legs.

P/s: Our haunted house wasn't really scary I thought. MORE OF FUNNY HOUSE. Because many of us were fooling around, especially my area and the EPIC area & made howling voices that sound more funny than scary.... We also chased people by hopping instead of slowly crawling to them (not me btw). & there was a disco ball there (in my area), so we partied when the customers were gone. What music did we dance to then? Macarena.
LOLS. Reminds me of my childhood days, when we danced this when we were 4~8 years old... And we never remembered the lyrics, just " unakbkdbdkajfj enfkjbdfkjafkjdbf unjfkjbasesedfb EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH Macarena!"

Oh gosh! Now being addicted to this song already! >3< HEHE...

BLOATED...

2011-06-19T01:37:00.000+08:00

A word to describe me now even though it's 12.00 am. Have been stuffed by the buffet and the yunan mianxian. which tasted delicious =P... Should I have not suggested to go for another round? Nope, if not we would have left early! Hehes... And the fun would have been gone - like now... Then I would have to stay stuck at home doing who knows what. =.= . Although now I am doing "who knows what" too... HAHA.

But came home and my mouth very DRY! Maybe I talked too much after being stuck at home for 4 days / reminiscing the old days. LOL.

But does that mean I will have to stuff myself with ONLY yoghurt these few nights? Sighs... don't wanna think about it T^T. It's for ~~my own good~~ the money, people!

On another note, I don't feel like going for the father's day carnival to help out anymore. They didn't even tell me when to meet up and where the location is! Like I should be the one asking for the details - I am a volunteer, you know. But I did. No reply. Who knows why they carry their handphones. =.= ( reminds me of last time when I was also like that, but not the point NOW)

Actually as a volunteer, I get CIP hours. ( so why is it called "volunteer" in the first place. Who knows?) I think it's 14 CIP hrs, although we don't work for 14 hrs. Whatever. Like my life is revolved around testimonials and certificates. Well, maybe it is. -_____________- But I'm sure there are other ways to get around to completing my NYAA. Like helping out after our service learning or something. We need to stick to another organization anyways, and not "job-hop".

Not a very conclusive ending, I know. ~~Unlike my other posts.~~ Cuz now very "xian" after eating yunan mianxian.

P/s: Looks like most of my posts are written during midnight. Oh no! Worsening my black eye circles again! X.X But cannot sleep before 12 am nowadays. These few days I sleep @ 2am after watching anime/video clips & reading manga.... And I just woke up at 8.30 after eating the buffet. LOL. Must train to sleep during the golden hour or if not my face will look awful.... Like it is now.
shucks... today at 3.30 am =.=

A stupid saying that makes sense -_______-

2011-06-17T00:42:00.005+08:00

Sighs... When I am stressed I eat quite a bit. Not necessary binge, but I eat junk food. Like now. =.= Can't seem to get into the mood to study for my MYCTs.. although I should start now... Since I have been watching videos/ reading manga for the past week T-T Will be busy from tomorrow onwards until Sunday, so that means I will have to study 3 content based subjects next week. Blehs... Why can't I just stuff the information into my head like what I am doing with my chocolates now???

So this justifies this saying. When you're stressed, you eat desserts that isn't necessarily beneficial to your health.

*sidenote: We are supposed to use "spelt" not "spelled", which is American. Or we will flunk our exams or something =.=

Manga Madness!!! ♥

2011-06-15T17:13:00.004+08:00

Feeling kind of -________________________-

Just ended our PW discussion and yesshhh... non-stop from 9 am to about 3.30 pm! Even had my lunch with my laptop apparently! Of course I had a few breaks, like silently reading manga at times when we needed to do research. And in the end they even voted for my case study. AMAZING! The wonders of the quality of work when you multi-task. But @ about 2.30 pm some people sneaked off... ( i think cuz they were going out or something... ) SO i didn't really want to disappoint the rest ( or should I say half of the group members - especially the hardworking leader who is actually quite responsible although very funny! )

What spoilt my mood ~~even more than PW~~ ( it was actually quite fun today. LOL. because of their stupid & lame comments which I kept laughing @ ) was the ENDING OF THE STUPID MANGA! ~~See why I normally don't like reverse harems or harems in general?~~ But the intro was very interesting... and people recommended it... ( I think the ~~cane's~~ Cain's fangirls... =.= )

The ending was that the main heroine of the story ( or even the only girl in the story =.= ) , ended up with a HORRIBLE guy ~~( stupid Cain. reminds me of canning though)~~ which treats her like trash! The ending was pretty obvious though, since it's sort of hinting you that they have those special moments with each other in like every volume.... Okay, maybe if I was more sympathetic, ie. understanding that the guy had a hell-like childhood, ~~I may have loved that ending somehow since I PITY HIM.~~ AND he isn't the most good looking! Maybe if I was the manga artist and saw that he was most handsome and paired them up, okay, I accept it, since there are thousands of fangirls screaming "KYAAA". ~~( reminds me of that ikuto in shugo chara & natsume in GA. *sighs*...)~~ Evidence: Polls. He placed 2nd. LOLS. So it doesn't make any sense!!!!

View Poll Results: which guy would u choose?

*Note: there will be a reference pic below to let you see how they look like, just in case you've never seen this manga. :)
* [ ] indicate position of guy in pic below from left to right.

Cain Kumoide 26.03% [1st] (1st in pic but still a LOSER! The main "hero" and still lost to Kuga =P )

Ren Ichikawa 23.28% [6th] ( My fav guy cuz he is SO SWEET! :) ... he placed 3rd. Oh wells... You have my support~ ♥ )

Minemitsu Yamashina 0.75% [7th - last in pic. like his position in the poll] ( Just sad. D: )

Kuga Reizei 38.55% [5th] ( He's cool & sweet! Many fangirls says he is good looking.. ) - i'm okay with anything other than that LOSER -.-

Miki Uegaito 2.38% [4th] ( very athletic.. )

Hijiri Asukai 4.76% [2nd] ( very girly - for a boy. )

Kitou Ninomiya 4.26% [3rd] ( the playboy. Haha. A bit like Temaki from Ouran High School Host Club. )

FYI if you dunno how they look like:

AND ALSO ON MANGAFOX:

Should she end up with cain?

00Misty: I really hope she does not end up with Cain... it could be that he is the most misunderstood character, but I want her to be with Ren (ME: YESSSHHHHH~) (though kuga is the hottest)

gdtr: I agree completely. ANY other one of the guys would be better than him. (ME: totally!)

He's the ONLY one who's been excessively nasty, rude, and mean to her. But...of course he's obviously the guy she's going to end up with. ( ME: OMG, so true.. )

This happens in, like, 80% of the shoujo series! The girl ends up with the guy who was meanest to her! What is UP with that?! ( ME: * nodding my head non-stop* )

Okays... the bolded text was what I was thinking. :D IF you didn't know by now... =.=
But then again, isn't it good that she isn't with the guy you like in the manga? Then he is "officially yours" LOLS.

But I enjoyed reading it a lot~ Especially the summaries written by others ( as the english translations aren't out yet and ~~my jap skills has been returned to my teacher, so I can't understand most jap words T-T~~ )

Summary from: http://sylphalchemist.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/stray-love-hearts-18-summary/

LOVES her writing... especially the strikeouts ^-^ Extracts:

Cain then goes on to talk about the logic behind dreams blah blah. Basically the thing we care about is the part where he says looking into someone’s dream gives the viewer the ability to see the dreamer’s heart which in turn…

Allows the viewer to see the future, Uryuu finishes.

~~(O_O wtf!? Uryuu!? Where did you just come from!? The door is locked behind you…omg…you seriously were down there under the bed this whole time weren’t you, you sicko!)~~

PS I like how NO ONE is surprised to see Uryuu crawl out from under the bed or wherever he came from. After 4 volumes, everyone is all, oh that silly boy! That Uryuu is gonna go to jail one of these days for his sick perversions xD.

Anyway, Uryuu basically tries to convince Cain to come back to the Kumoide household before his powers go crazy and destroy him. Cain tells Uryuu to keep his mouth closed, which Uryuu doesn’t.

Anyways, if you don't know yet, the manga I just read was SLH ( stray lone hearts )
Read it if you like to see hot guys / ditzy girls =.= / have nothing to do, excluding MYCTs revision which you barely touched. :D

Record Breaker :DD

2011-06-15T05:38:00.001+08:00

Heys~ First time I didn't sleep throughout the night & I didn't even take afternoon naps in the afternoon! Whooo.... The awesomeness of reading manga online comfortably @ night without any distractions.. :) Read for 7 hours straight but still haven't finished reading the series. =.= I think I'll take a 2 hr+ nap before waking up in time for the PW meeting @ 9 am sharp. I'll really be daydreaming then! Or probably asleep.... XDDD

OMG.. i still can't believe it! The lastest time I had ever slept was 3am. Maybe next time I will won't sleep and survive until the next day! :DD But I think I'll definitely take an afternoon nap after. -________-

Goodnight! Or should I say good morning??? :P

Introvert / Extrovert / BOTH?

2011-06-14T19:44:00.006+08:00

Okay... this means I broke my promise! But it is okayysss... because there is something I need to share! :)

Have you ever wondered if you were an introvert / extrovert / both? Well, here are some tests that you can do to verify your doubts!

1st Test

Choose the answer to each question which most accurately reflects how you actually see yourself, not how you would like to be.

A. many friends and acquaintances? 
B. a few people that you feel close to?

If you answered with more B answers, you are an introvert.
Introverts consider their own viewpoint the arbiter of reality and define externals in terms of it.
They are more aware of purely mental phenomena–the impressions, facts, ideas, and reactions that constitute an inner world.
Introverts reflect before acting.
They may defend themselves against the expectations and attention of others.
Introverts are reserved, complicated, and private.
They are self-aware, sometimes passionately intense, but may not realize their effect on others.

For this test I got 50/50 I suppose? Because you can't expect me not to be straightforward... hehe... >.<

Are you an introvert? Finding the answers to this personality test is easy
Simply add up your “true” responses. The more “trues” you have, the more introverted personality traits or introversion signs you possess…

Scoring:

20-29 “true” responses means you’re a true introvert (like me! ^^ ). “Only deep relationships measure up as friendships and you use them to relax. You need to mentally rest throughout the day, even after enjoyable activities. Because you will draw a blank under pressure, prepare for meetings, talks, and even parties beforehand. Accept your nature and learn to politely fend off energy-draining people.”

10-19 “true” responses means you’re both introverted and extroverted. “You sometimes feel torn between the desire to dance in the streets and walk alone on the beach. Notice this, so you can keep your energy consistent. You judge yourself through your thoughts and feelings, and through others, leaving you with a broad view that is sometimes difficult to straddle.”

1-9 “true” responses means you’re an extrovert. “You relish variety, have lots of ‘close, personal’ friends and will chat with complete strangers. Your stimulation is all external, so you talk, think, and act quickly. As you reach midlife, however, you may need to take a break from the high life to reflect, even though it goes against your nature.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

10 Myths About Introverts

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time. ( is crave the right word??? sounds a bit wrong. =.= haha.)

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
A world without Introverts would be a world with few scientists, musicians, artists, poets, filmmakers, doctors, mathematicians, writers, and philosophers. That being said, there are still plenty of techniques an Extrovert can learn in order to interact with Introverts. (Yes, I reversed these two terms on purpose to show you how biased our society is.) Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Reflections:

I found Myth #10 very interesting! :D I always thought I was like that! Or maybe I am a mixture of both? I don't know! I just know for myth #1, I small talk as a form of preventing myself from being TOO unsociable... Myth #3 is SO TRUE = be honest everyone kayss? ♥ And for Myth #5, no wonder I needed recharging @ home like a battery. And for Myth 6, like I said: "They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time. ( is crave the right word??? sounds a bit wrong. =.= haha.) " I would say small groups of people and not like one large group of 10+ people and still called a "clique"???

But still, being an introvert is something PROUD since you are one of the 25% of the human population who are one! AND YOU ARE SMART :D

“You cannot escape us, and to change us would lead to your demise.”

It can be terribly destructive for an Introvert to deny themselves in order to get along in an Extrovert-Dominant World. Like other minorities, Introverts can end up hating themselves and others because of the differences. The burden is not entirely on Introverts to try and become "normal." Extroverts need to recognize and respect us, and we also need to respect ourselves.

Should be nicer to my PW members (on my blog) though. HAHAS.
~~Blame them for ruining my plans & mood~~. HAHAS. JKJK lah!
I still ♥ them. Don't worry ^-^

Bowling with Animal Family ♥

It was SUPER FUN bowling together last thursday~
I had a BLAST from laughing so much. Evidence: shaky camera photos!

Anyway it took a lot of time ( about 2.5 hrs) to upload + comment on every single photo I took, but it was worth it! :D Feel so satisfied now after commenting! XDD
