Must not get depressed.

2012-02-10T21:57:00.001+08:00

So I visited the Skin centre on Weds coz the 'eczema' has spread to my FACE. Like amg I woke up on Weds and it was quite bad. There was a huge red spot and other smaller patchy dry spots and the whole house started panicking. Went to see the GP to get a referral letter and then booked an appt on the same day to see a doctor at the skin centre.

He diagnosed the condition on my arm, at the back of my elbow as eczema and it has spread to my face. It's unlikely that it's due to food allergy but I'm not supposed to eat chicken, egg, seafood. At least she didn't mention 'red meat'. So now I've been eating tofu and fish every day. SAD.

The eczema on my arm is getting a lot better so I'm happy about that but my face is horrible. Many new patches are developing T.T Hopefully this is just the temporary reaction to the medicine I'm taking and that it'll all disappear soon. Can't face the world with this face (even though I just did today. With specs too coz my eye left eye was being a bitch).

*My mom just called me out...to see stars -.-"

Okay so my face is horrible now. I know there's no point in me looking at the mirror every few seconds coz that'll just make me more depressed but can't help it ='(

Hopefully ppl won't stop being my friend after this.

Urgh I really hope all these depressing stuff are due to hormones.

Lastly I need to bitch abt Korean. After the 2nd test which was super dots coz I got many alphabets correct but I arranged them in the wrong order, decided to work harder and made flash cards LOL. That's how I learnt Jap in the beginning so hopefully it'll work for Korean. And I should really start picking a Korean drama to watch now.

Okay back to typing in Korean. I pasted korean alphabets on my laptop keyboard so I can type in Korean (enthu giler eh). 負けない！

どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう

Feels like it's going to be an emo night.

Maybe talking about yesterday might make me happier. Yesterday was really awesome. Went for the v2030 talk and everyone around me were young and passionate and inspiring. And I got to meet some ytsas whom I haven't met for years. They are all so nice! As in the ppl in sch are really awesome but yesterday I got to talk about 'normal' things? As in away from school stuff and all so it was really uh refreshing?

Went back to school and met a mata-gula-gula in the lift and dier cakap hi dan selamat jalan. LOL dunno why I had to intersperse some malay in there but well just in case. The image of that girl in the Thai movie "First love" immediately came to mind...the scene where after he called her by her name, she walked off and then started jumping up and down being all ecstatic just coz it proved that he knew her name lolll. Okay stoppit.

So yesterday was good despite the random waking up at 4 am and then not being able to sleep after that.

Today was tiring. Had Korean and Mandarin and ASEAN. Korean is tough =( I can't read quickly and my spelling is atrocious. And their pronunciation is like.....zomg annoying.

Just watched the last episode of Brain which was good! Happy ending, not too cheesy... The story is overall really good. It's about a group of brain surgeons and their 'political' drama. The lead character is a typical alpha male and so the romance element of this story (which isn't much) is reallly cute. He was so awkward...but both the girl and him stuck to their pride/ego till the end. Of course the girl was more honest about her feelings but the male character's ego was too damn high...so there were loads of missed opportunities, and it was so frustrating to see them holding back even though it was so obvious that they cared for each other...これがすごく分かるよ。

Towards the end the girl asked him to wait for him and I suddenly thought of Pride, where Halu said that Aki's bf who asked her to wait for him had too much confidence in himself and that Halu would never ask a girl to wait for him coz that's too selfish. Of course in the end Aki waited for Halu but that was her own will... Everything ended up fine coz the wait was worth it for Aki.

Ok after typing that, it reminded me of all my favourite quotes from Pride and Prejudice. The two pertinent ones being "If a woman is partial to a man, and does not endeavour to conceal it, he must find it out" and "We can all begin freely -- a slight preference is natural enough; but there are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement." So true.

Feel like re-reading P&P but I'll probably just emo more so better not.

+20 wifey points

2012-02-02T21:29:00.001+08:00

Wooh! Syaz and I cooked all these for our picnic to celebrate Lift's bday! Stuffed portobello mushrooms, cocktail sausages and rolled egg sandwiches (in the container in the last photo). And all tasted really good =D

Camwhored a bit after eating coz the view from the barrage at night is really pretty! Marina Bay Sands was emitting laser lights and the side of its towers had changing coloured lights, and there was also the Singapore flyer and the rest of the cbd area right in front of us. The wind wasn't too strong last night so all was good!

And the company was awesome as usual ♥

Week 4!

2012-01-30T08:50:00.000+08:00

In school mega early as usual. Sat and stoned at the umbrella benches near the library for about an hour with my specs on and totally make-up less. Good that nobody walked past during that hour.

Haven't read much on anything but I realized there's nothing much to read in the first place. Maybe I should really start on my research paper. If I do then that'd be the first time I'm so onz and do research paper more than 3 weeks before it's due. (Three weeks is considered a long time. I know ppl who do research paper the night before -.-")

Anyway. My holiday plans are looking fine just that the dates are still not confirmed and I might end up going solo as originally planned. But that's fine..hopefully this will be settled asap or else I'll just have to tour Japan lol.

SIGH time for class.

I CAN FINALLY INTRODUCE MYSELF IN KOREAN.

2012-01-27T15:08:00.000+08:00

Finally we learned greetings/introducing ourselves. So now I can say, "Hello, my name is...what is your name? Where are you from? I am from Singapore. Nice to meet you" Lol progress!

Thought of watching kdramas when I reached home (at 11am. When everyone was just beginning to wake up) but switched on Kimura's Hero instead. Can't download kdramas with the demise of MU, etc.

Don't think I did anything exciting this week. Monday and Tuesday were public holidays and I had no school on Weds. Had first korean tut on Thursday...loads of those 'games' similar to the ones in my basic Japanese class. Very fun! Some of my classmates are Kdrama-watching ppl so their vocab is probably damn powerful. Sat alone in my chinese tut for 10 mins before realizing that it was strange for there not to be anyone else and then realizing that there was no tut this week -.-" There was korean lecture only today from 8-9.30 so I've been slacking ever since. This sem feels extremely slack but I hope the pace won't pick up too much and then make me panic later on.

Had a bad dream the other night where I was having dinner at a nice restaurant with someone who refused to talk to me, and then didn't finish his food, and stared while I tried to finish mine (I was a slow eater even in my dream) and I ended up not finishing my food either. Then he walked away leaving me behind and I woke up. Thank God it was just a dream, though if it were to happen in real life, I would have been really annoyed and would splash water at him.

Happy Chinese New Year (Eve)!!!

2012-01-22T21:52:00.001+08:00

This week was quite a 'busy' week. Korean started this week so I've experienced all my mods! Korean is quite alright, just that everyone seems to have their own friends :/ Or maybe I just extra-ly sat with a huge group of them so that's why it felt that way. The pace for Mandarin seems a lot faster than Korean. And I kind of like Mandarin more (other than the intonations which I really can't seem to master) but the tutorial is exactly the same as the lecture -.-""" We just have to speak more and maybe refine our stroke orders, etc but zomg exactly the same. Haven't had any Korean tutorials yet. And so far I dunno how to say anything in Korean other than random words since we've only learned the alphabets.

Watched Syaz's dance concert on Friday and then sent off Siti the next day. Had dinner with ppl from my OG+zn at zamzam on Friday. Lol quite random but it was nice of them to agree to go Bugis for dinner with me (since I was the only one who had to be in Bugis that night). The concert itself was nice! Though we sat at the circle seats -.- The dude at the door didn't direct us properly... Had 'supper' at Tung Seng then went back and slept. Sent off Siti on Saturday and then had icecream. I have grand plans of visiting her in April/May so hopefully that'll materialize!!

Speaking of my grand plan, I've 'narrowed' down the countries/cities I want to visit to: London, Liverpool, Amsterdam, Germany, Prague, Italy, (Greece + Turkey). I really want to go Iceland but it's too 'far'. And Greece and Turkey are like places I really want to visit too but they are again 'far'. I'll probably end up not going to at least 2 countries or like visit only one city in a country... Looking at a 3-4 week trip in end April/May.

I really hope everything will go according to plan! Let there be no horror stories in these countries which may make my mom paranoid. And hopefully I won't freak out at the thought of travelling alone. You can always join me if you want. Actually pls join me if you're willing and able to.

My cousin is interested in joining me on part of the trip and her bf might follow. But then I'll be a lamppost. The good thing is of course having a 'local' guide so that's brilliant but...okay lah hopefully her bf's nice.

Love is all around

2012-01-15T21:35:00.002+08:00

So I celebrated my birthday a couple of days ago. Before midnight I had the paranoia that nobody will remember it so I slept at about 9.30pm. It was unfounded but I only got to read the messages in the morning.

Went out for lunch with the girls and we had hotpot which was really good. Whyne and I had to do 'missions' lol unglam moments galore but I was touched that they bothered =)

Went to school for asean econ policy which is really interesting so far because it's more political than legal.

Waited around with some of my ogmates before going for dinner with them. OG7 is super awesome <3 I think we almost had everyone in the og down for dinner that night.

Had to wake up super early the next day and we celebrated at home with my baby cousin whose bday was on the 14th (5 years old this year). Her cake was the swensen's disney princess ice-cream cake lol and she was so happy... Still naughty but much better now I think! Bought her presents and then went out for lunch...everyone else ate proper meals but I was going to have late lunch later so I only ate a bit.

Went out with F5 (lol lame name but it works so.) and they were really cute! ♥ After the initial X/Y suddenly cannot make it, I got a call and realized they were behind me for some time lol. At that time I was concentrating on playing airport mania so was oblivious to my surroundings. Went for late lunch at ramenten and then went kboxing! Haha this is like...my third time in 4 weeks? Different rooms had different versions of the directory but not all songs were available =( But they are like really recent songs so not surprised that they don't have it yet. But yay smap songs ♥

Went home, watched soccer and slept. Haha zero work done on that day but ohwell.

The first person to wish me this year is my ex-neighbour =D I used to think that the fb msgs aren't the most 'sincere' but I realized that the ppl who bothered to wish are really yasashii (// kind)? Like when I read the msgs from people whom I don't really talk to, my mind goes "yasashii naa.." lol (i think it's coz I don't bother wishing those I don't talk to much but from now on I think I'll wish them properly)

Had Japanese class today. Another new component added to the lesson plan - dictation. It's not too bad coz she pauses and read the sentences for us so it's fine. The pace feels slower in advance than intermediate though. We'll apparently take 4 weeks to finish one 'topic' so it does feel draggy at times... And my kanji is extremely crappy. There are really very limited furigana now so I can't read the kanji so I won't know the meaning and we're banned from using dictionaries so I had to keep asking the sensei the meaning of 'simple' words =(

School has been okay so far though I panic a little every time I receive emails from the profs asking us to read 1352 things for the next lesson.

Shall try to finish summarizing cases for tomorrow's maritime. Haven't decided what to do during the 6.5 hours break in between classes. Maybe I'll drop by KRC to get my korean textbook but I have no idea if the co-op has stock. Better call before I leave BTC.

Week 1 is nearly over

2012-01-12T21:44:00.002+08:00

Week 1 has been good so far!

We can choose our own topic for research paper for islamiclaw so that's fantastic (although I don't have any particular interest at this point of time).

For ASEAN economic policy, there will be a field trip to Jakarta to visit the ASEAN secretariat. This visit is the alternative to writing a 20-page research paper. Didn't have to think for more than 10 secs to choose! And it'll only be for one day lol

The toughest mod seems to be maritime... firstly it's at night so I'm only half awake and secondly there're lots of readings to be done. The only good thing about this mod is that I have friends taking it with me.

Mandarin class just started and so far so good coz it's only introduction and the characters are all familiar. Hate hanyupinyin though coz I can't remember the tone marks. I know two people in this class so that's good! There's homework every week. When was the last time I had to do official homework? Ok I have Japanese homework every week I guess but lawsch doesn't give out 'homework'.

Korean class only starts from next week on... it sounds heavy already based on the emails I've gotten but it should be fine? I'll take a look at it before sleeping tonight.

I'm eyeing three dramas this season! Hungry (Goro!), Lucky seven, and strawberry night!

School is starting tomorrow ='(

2012-01-08T19:44:00.000+08:00

So the holidays have come to an end and the new semester will start tomorrow. SAD.

Successfully bid for Mandarin and Korean so good luck to me learning three languages at the same time.

Advance class started today. There's a new component called "speed reading" and it's really...fast. There used to be grammar explanations in English previously but they've scrapped that and so almost everything is in Japanese now. Lots more kanji without the hiragana on top too so half the time I have to guess the meaning/reading of a word. Tough but fun somehow.

Islamic law first thing tomorrow morning. There are so many arabic terms in the readings and I can't remember the meaning once I've moved on to the next page so had to keep referring. One more set of reading to go through by tonight. Should be able to finish that quickly since it's only 24 pages.

After that module, there will be a 6.5 hours break before the next class starts at 6.30 pm. I think I'll go home first unless I see nice people around. Oh and I've decided to just take a lift from my dad every morning to uh save on cab fare lol. So I'll be in school mega early. Hopefully I can wake up in time.

Okay 2012 shall be a great year!!!

School is starting!!!

2012-01-05T16:10:00.000+08:00

And I somehow feel nervous lol macam baru first time pergi sekolah. The syllabus for one of my modules is up and the workload seems okay since it's only 3 readings per week (unless each reading is like 300 pages then that'd be a problem.) but there's a 'formal' presentation with write-ups and such :/ Not sure if the readings are in the mailbox or if we're supposed to find those readings on our own. This module is on Monday 9am so doubt I'd be able to read anything before class since I don't plan to go back to school just to check if there's something in my mailbox.

Bidding opens tomorrow so please let everything go according to plan!

4 days late

2012-01-04T22:05:00.000+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May 2012 be an awesome year! My new year resolution is to eat fruits every day LOL. As in I must consciously eat fruits daily. So far I've been keeping up with this resolution but I bet once school starts I'll be substituting the actual fruits with fruit juice most of the time.

2011 was kinda...uneventful? Besides the fact SMAP was in Singapore and that Kimura walked right passed me mere centimeters away =D

School is starting very soon =( I will be in school more than last semester and I'll be way busier with research papers and take home exams (almost back to back). BUT the best thing is I won't have any final exams =D That is if all goes to plan and I manage to bid for Mandarin and Korean/Arabic. First time bidding under CORS so I have no idea what's gonna happen. Bidding is too close to school opening so it's really scary.

Anyway this holiday has been great. Lots of epiphany-cal moments. No overseas holiday though :/ Except KL over Christmas which wasn't too exciting.

Japanese advance class starts this Sunday. Hopefully the teacher/class will be nice and that I'll actually be able to follow the lesson. Haven't even finished reading all the vocabulary for pre-advance (much less memorise.)

So yes if I manage to successfully bid for those non-law mods, I'd be learning 3 languages at the same time lol. It'll be tough I suppose but it's quite exciting? The intonation bit for mandarin might be a problem but the kanji shouldn't be too bad. Korean alphabets look difficult (that's why I'm not ruling out arabic since I know the alphabets at least) but I can uh watch korean dramas for homework.

If I had to choose an activity to represent this hols, it'll be kboxing LOLLLL. Finding out that cashstudio has smap songs was the best discovery ever. I have like 4 stickers already HAHA. I still can't sing but at least now I am less conscious about my incompetency and will just shiok sendiri singing on my own even though nobody else will know the song/can read the lyrics. Far cry from the days when I'd go and not sing --> forced to sing --> sing a few songs --> and now shiok sendiri-ing.

Another phase?

2011-12-21T23:18:00.001+08:00

I guess the opposite of love is really not hate but indifference. This indifference is quite liberating somehow.

Can't really say that I don't care at all anymore but really I think I should stop 'torturing' myself.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

2011-12-13T01:31:00.003+08:00

Exciting day today!

Ok not really.

Highlight was dinner with M. We haven't met since... quite a long time ago so it was really nice catching up.

I think I miss some ppl =(

I'm beginning to really love Goro. Lol Kimura is still no. 1 of course and I love 2Top but Goro is just too cute nowadays.

Only one more month of holiday left. Need to maximize every moment.

Brain can finally rest now!

2011-12-05T00:27:00.002+08:00

JLPT test over! =D Died a bit for kanji. HATE how just one stroke can make a lot of difference. IA will get the passing grade.

Anyway! Glad to have met some of my classmates there...made me less nervous somehow. And we're not going to be in the same class anymore since some are staying for pre-advance and others are jumping to advance. The best class was still my daily beginners class though. Most probably coz we saw each other every day so the bond was stronger. Plus we all started from zero so there was that initial enthusiasm.

My ex-sensei was so nice!!! She emailed me a goodluck message and said that since it's me, it will be okay. Aww =') Though I got more nervous after reading that lol.

Totally don't feel like sleeping tonight just because I can!! Such a gooood feeelinggg.

Spa appointment tomorrow! Finallyyy!

Okay life is good =D

Slightly belated

2011-11-30T22:55:00.002+08:00

but I AM DONE WITH YEAR 3 SEM I! Last paper was aviation, probably the only useful module for my career. Post-exams day 1 was rather anti-climatic coz I had JLPT mock exam at night LOL. My brain was already fried by that time and I nearly dozed off while reading the comprehension passages and during the last few picture-less listening comprehension. So now I'm left with the actual JLPT exam on Sunday.

Here is Kimura clapping for everyone who's done with exams.

Lots of things to do this hols! Need to catch up on movies/dramas, pamper my body and basically not use my brain for a while. No holiday planned though =(

Anyway! Because I've just learnt to make ~~moving pictures~~ gifs, this is something stupid I did coz TakuGoro is love and the contrast in their energy/clapping level was so stark that I just HAD to do this. Plus Goro's suspicious line of sight made it easy to caption this moment lol

The most random thing happened.

2011-11-22T22:17:00.003+08:00

So my cousin (whom I only talk to during the occasional family gatherings) smsed me and asked if I could bake for him the darkchocolatepeanutbutter brownies I made for hari raya haji. LOLLL RANDOM OR WHATT. And he said it's just coz it tasted nice. =') I WILL MAKE THEM FOR YOU even though it's damn random ONLY COZ U COMPLIMENTED MY BAKING. Hahahah made my day somehow.

EVIDENCE OVER AND DONE WITH

2011-11-22T14:41:00.002+08:00

DIDN'T FEEL AS BAD AS AFTER PUBLIC LAW THOUGH MAYBE I'VE STOPPED CARING TOO MUCH.

Left with aviation next week and then the holidays will begin! =D =D I haven't started on aviation at all but I need to uh rest my brain for the next few hours. Had a hardcore final revision session yesterday. One topic per hour, no rest other than lunch and dinner. Crazyy my brain was so saturated.

Nankyoku tairiku's subs are already out (episode aired on sunday). This subber is AMAZING. I LOVE YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE. But I can't watch it obviously :( Maybe during dinner!

Okay now on to aviation. Probably the most useful mod for my future.

Evidence shall be gooddd

2011-11-22T06:52:00.001+08:00

First paper in 2 hours!!! GOOD LUCK ME.

So tireddd

2011-11-20T15:12:00.002+08:00

I don't usually study past like 11 pm but last night I stayed till 12 to try to finish up admissions/confessions and that feeling of being really tired was kinda...strange but in a nice way? Hahah as in it was a foreign sensation, but now I know how some people could fall asleep at their desk.

Anyway! Couldn't sleep immediately so I probably slept at 1.30am and then woke up early to do my japanese homework. Zomg 169 questions yo. I was half asleep and all but managed to finish them =D Was shading in the car, all the way till she asked us to hand them in.

And now I have no mood whatsoever to start on the 'last' topic for evidence.

First paper on Tuesday! And then the next paper will be on the next Monday and then I would survived Year 2 sem 1. Decided to do the mock test 2 right after my last paper instead of after my first paper so hopefully I'll survive till then. My brain would be fully utilised on that day.

Okay gooooo.

Beautiful lyrics as translated by rz_jocelyn, sarachan81, minami75 HERE. Hehe she credited me too but I didn't play a substantial part.

Now it's back to e.vi.den.ce which is the death of me. Seriouslyyy why so convoluted dear judges!! And please don't contradict yourselves.

Ramblings

2011-11-13T18:41:00.003+08:00

SMAP'S NEW SINGLE "BOKO NO HANBUN" [My other half/partner] IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN CRY LISTENING TO IT. The lyrics are so beautiful. The music is so beautiful. And the way the guys sang it is so beautiful. I KNOW NO OTHER ADJECTIVE EXCEPT BEAUTIFUL. The fact that they repeated "utsukushii hito" [you beautiful person] in the chorus has totally nothing to do with my current limited vocab.

Oh and it's a beautiful song about unrequited love. ~~Oooh how apt. LOL~~ Come to think about it, it's actually a really sad song. A beautiful sad song.

My favourite lines are those that contain the title. Like Nakai's "ima boku wa hanbun" [Now I'm only half of me/I'm not a whole now] and Goro's "anata wa boku no hanbun" [you are my other half/partner]. I'm obsessed with this half-half makes a whole crap coz of THIS thingy I saw on tumblr two years ago.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

2011-11-13T00:10:00.001+08:00

私の一番大好きな男へお誕生日おめでとうございます! いつも大好きです!

Sometimes I wonder why am I so silly to bother to wish someone who won't read this message nor knows I exist... but I still do it anyway.

Today was the first day of the fan party in tokyo dome and amg they announced a new single heck they SANG the new single which is a beautiful ballad and announced confirmed concert tour next year. HOW TO NOT HYPERVENTILATE. amg.

2/10 chapters.

2011-11-12T21:00:00.003+08:00

Heck the 40-paged English case in the previous post. Another local case is freaking 104 pages. And to make reading easier, it has a contents page! Woooh!

Anyway sometimes I wonder whether some people are really my friends.

Word. Thanx to whoever created this.

HATEE exams.

2011-11-11T21:51:00.003+08:00

Sometimes after making notes for one chapter I'll feel like okay it makes sense. That is until I see ppl discussing on fb on the same topic I just 'revised' and go like WTF ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT. Like seriouslyyy why are ppl so smart!! And so cheem. Now I have to read this case in its entirety just because I saw that it's apparently 'important'. And it's 40 freaking pages.

@#$!^&#!!$%$&@)(*&%@$#%^18`9

私の手をしっかり握って...

2011-11-09T13:30:00.002+08:00

Had an awesome dream last night. Shall take it as a good sign.

No more research papers/take homes so I'm left with 2 exams. Good luck me!!

No dec hols planned :(

2011-11-07T15:09:00.003+08:00

While waiting for my 4pm exam to open, I suddenly feel like having a holiday cruise. I'm quite okay with the sea (as in I won't get seasick) and a cruise is not so...jerky right? ANYWAY I feel like going on a cruise to nowhere!! I really need to start finding holiday buddies. I'm sure there's some online forum where ppl who travel alone congregate or something.

hungry.

2011-11-06T20:41:00.002+08:00

I love my senior but he's going to stress me out soon >> I shall only start on evidence after my take home exam! Exam opens tomorrow 4 pm and closes on the 9th at 10am. がんばります!!

Okay shall be slightly productive and do my jap hmwk instead.

Craving satisfied =)

2011-11-06T16:57:00.003+08:00

The brownies were really easy to make and it tasted awesome (maybe only to me)! Though apparently I added too much flour and salt -.-" And mixed the sugar with the flour first instead of sugar+chocolate LOLL hahah was shocked when I saw that I was supposed to mix the sugar and chocolate then realized I've already dumped it with the flour. Anyway vanilla ice cream cured all defects.

First time hari-raying at someone else's place. It has always been my house for the past...8 years or so. Quite boring :/ And we left early so it felt like the day is wasted? And when we left, one more family hasn't even arrived =( つまらない!!! Supposed to go to my aunt's place (dad's side) tonight but apparently my mom is pissed off about something so we're not going -.-""" So I have my night free. And I'm supposed to spend it wisely by like mugging -.-""" SAD.

Checked the kanji component for my mock test and I really got half wrong =( My other sections better pull me up. Not sure what's passing mark but hopefully I passed the kanji section. And I stupidly did not mark my answers on my paper for listening so can't check how badly I screwed that up. Sigh I shall blame it all on the nickhun lookalike who distracted me throughout the test.

Mad craving

2011-11-04T20:19:00.002+08:00

I have a crazy craving for dark chocolate peanut butter swirls brownies. I feel like making it NOW but I dont have the complete ingredients. Please hold on till tomorrow!! I feel faint just thinking about the fact that I won't be able to eat it now.

In other news, visited the doctor AGAIN like for the 3rd time in the past 5 weeks. I realized how I've not been explaining the symptoms properly so I've been getting the wrong medicine. Seems to work this time... the medicine I got was super powerful. Totally concussed once I reached home and ate it. Hopefully it'll make me have a good, uninterrupted sleep tonight. No more pain and insomnia pleasee.

Attempting to make evidence notes but I'm getting terribly bored.

I want gong cha's

2011-10-29T16:06:00.002+08:00

Lemon juice with ai-yu jelly and white pearls. Too lazy to go out and get it.

My mom is out with her JC friends while I'm stuck at home with 2000 words to cut. I'm really getting bored with this research paper. I'm not 100% sure what I'm writing and why I have so many words to cut. Introduction and conclusion are missing. Citations not done.

I need to get something for my blocked nose.

Need to do Jap homework and freaking remember those grammar. And kanji.

Epic drama!

2011-10-26T19:57:00.003+08:00

Amagawd finally finished watching eps 1 during dinner just now. The drama is EPIC. Like seriously... I've mentioned the grand scale but this is too grand!!! And the music is really amazing...

The story is that Japan had sent an expedition to Antartica (at that time the world hasn't explored antartica yet) without any help from the rest of the world (who viewed Japan as war losers who don't deserve to be on the expedition). They had many problems in the beginning - lack of support, resources, etc but they overcame all that in under 2 hours to finally begin their journey. The preview for the next episode warned that they are going to face the toughest obstacles beyond anyone's imagination. Zomggg exciting!!! It's really quite uplifting... and I teared a lot. Okay cannot wait to watch eps 2! I have the subs already so just need to squeeze some time to watch.

Pls go and watch! (I seriously have no idea who reads this anymore but if anyone is, go watch!) Download link: HERE

My dad is happily in Dubai now for a footvolley tournament and he looks like he's having the time of his life. His hotel room is hugeass and apparently he's getting vip treatment. Jealousss.

And I found out that he uses fb checkin thingy and check in whenever he's fetching me from school LOLLL. hhahahh quite cute

Had tuition this morning and the boy is not too naughty anymore.

Got home and watched Kimura's Nankyoku Tairiku like finally. Subs for 2nd episode is up already and I only just watched 45 mins of the 1st episode. No wonder every one has been gushing and raving about it. It's freaking awesome! Slightly propaganda-ish like the world against Japan but it's set at a period where that is exactly the case (post-war) so it's believable. It's really quite a grand drama... the scale and all. The cinematography is awesome. It's really quite a high budget drama. Not surprising since it's in conjunction with TBS' [60th?] anniversary. Shall continue watching during dinner.

I'm an adult who has to feed herself.

2011-10-25T18:44:00.002+08:00

I'm responsible for my own dinner today... Feels like I'm overseas/at PGP where I have to take care of my own meals =( Not a nice feeling at all. All I want to do is focus on my work (yeah right.) knowing that food will always be prepared.

In other news got a ride from my senior back to the east today =) Yay I love nice seniors!

Okay back to my BITCH research paper which I have no idea how to write properly coz it's too confusing. My topic has been acknowledged to be confusing!! (compared to other topics which can be found in the textbook.) "The subject of indemnities is one which causes a good deal of confusion, not only among clients but also among lawyers" Yay me! Haha KH said that if I were to remain pessimistic, I should just think that the prof wont have much expectations in the first place...I should totally think that way right. And it's only 20% (but I havent done much about the already assessed 30%). SIGH SIGH SIGH.

Lessons learnt

2011-10-25T15:48:00.002+08:00

So after the death of my uncle, my mom is helping my aunt clear all those credit card bills, closing bank accounts, CPF stuff, the car, insurance, etc etc. My aunt doesn't know anything really so basically my mom is doing everything.

So lesson no. 1 is KNOW what's happening in your household. Like must know which cards your husband subscribe to and blah blah and like know how bills are paid etc. Lesson no. 2 is make sure there's no secret between husband and wife! I'm always scared of this but there must be trust I guess... Death is scary on its own but marriage is like...as scary? Not that this is deterring me from getting married or wdv (heck my life aim previously was to get married young lol) but these are lessons I better keep in mind!

jakon

2011-10-24T21:20:00.001+08:00

Yay this works! Shall read one chapter for tomorrow's tutorial and then watch baby smap before sleeping :)

Anyway baby smap is a new short tv clip aired in the afternoon, same day as sxs. Very cute!

Downloaded the 400mb file from MU from my phone. I have no idea if other phones can do this but I'm totally impressed that mine can. Maybe my expectations of technology is too low but amg i love my phone <3

Testing..updating from my awesome phone

2011-10-24T20:47:00.001+08:00

If this works, then I'd probably blog a lot more frequently and on random things. Not that anyone reads this anymore but it'll be a good platform other than twitter.

Why am I always so sleepy.

2011-10-24T14:34:00.002+08:00

Grah so the test is over and now I'm left with a research paper, a take home exam and 2 official exams papers. Can't wait for 28th Nov!! That's slightly more than a month left.

My mom is away at my aunt's place again so I was responsible for my own lunch. Too lazy to get out to buy food so maggi it was :/ My dad will fly off to Dubai to play footvolley tomorrow. He'll be gone for a week so the car will be mine =) The thing is there's no where to go lol. There's school only on Tuesday and Thursday...

Drove to Shaw House for my Jap lesson and then to my aunt's place at Hougang and then back home yesterday. The GPS on my phone worked perfectly, just that there was no phone holder in the car -.-""" Got lost a few times but safely reached my destinations. Speaking of Jap, got back my homework. Not full marks standard yet but slowly I guess... And I 'cheated' a bit since I kept checking the dictionary. MUST start memorising kanji properly.

I really shouldn't be here now when I have this annoying research paper to finish. !@$1537%$#@ sigh.

Oh oh in other news, there are LOTS of awesome dramas this season. Kimura's nankyoku is one (though I still havent watched it yet!!! amg.), Kaseifu no mita, Hunter, Keiko's drama dunno what's the title, Chansung's drama dunno what's the title. Too many!! And I just watched this year's santaku over lunch. Funny!

LOL! I showed P this and he immediately said that this looks like me. Somehow I totally agree hahah irrational feelings ftw.

Update on life

2011-10-21T11:06:00.003+08:00

So many things happened over the past two weeks or so. My friend's grandfather passed away and a few days later my uncle passed away too. Got the news of the latter's death in class. Picked up the phone from under the table and was shocked to hear the news. I visited him just the day before and the doctor was saying that things looked not bad... Then on the morning of his death my aunt called at 6 am to say that she was already at the hosp at 4 am and stuff and I guess I had a bad feeling about things but chose to ignore them and go to school. All those quotes about how the living continue living, life goes on, etc, they really hit the spot when I thought of the things that were going to happen from now on.

I inferred that my grandfather will move and stay with them now :/

Anyway my mom has been sleeping over and I've been going over every night for tahlil and I am so shag. As in I reach home and simply collapse on the bed. Haven't touched a single schoolwork the past week. And I am so freaking screwed coz I have a test on Monday and a research paper due next Monday, and I haven't prepared at all. After that there will be a take-home exam and two proper examinations left. Then this sem will be over finally.

On to happier news.... okay there's none. Kimura's latest drama is out and I haven't watched the first episode =(

So sick of being sick!! Need to fully recover asap. Had the worst ear infection ever. I tend to get ear infections easily every time I get the flu but this time the ear infection seemed to be independent of any flu symptoms? And it caused me weeks of insomnia. I already had trouble sleeping for god knows what reason, and then the ear infection just had to make it worse. It was either my brain was on hyper active mode and I kept thinking of various stuff or I was acutely conscious that I was not sleeping. Visited the doctor twice in a week. The first one was freaking lousy. He didn't even detect the ear infection -.-". Went to another one two days later and am now taking antibiotics. The pain remained for about three days after that and I thought I was going to be seriously ill. Like coz of lack of sleep and the pain. The pain has subsided somewhat but I still rely on medication to sleep :/ Not like I'm sleeping well now, but much better I guess.

Wrt less painful stuff, I have finally completed my japanese intermediate course =D I will be taking the JLPT N4 exam in december and looking at the mock tests, kanji will be a hugeass problem. Must get full marks for this exam! Dunno why I give myself unnecessary pressure, but I think it's a reasonable target? The only problem is that I have no time to revise properly. Must chiong after my final paper. But in between, there will be two mock tests and apparently we must score at least 85% to skip the pre-advance course and move on to advance. Hopefully that will happen coz I might be bored to death if we keep reading passages loudly and have mock conversations with each other in class in pre-advance. If I can get to advance straight, I can take the JLPT N2 hopefully next year? Insyallah.

School has been...less slack. There's this mod which has a ridiculous amount of workload. It is only 4creds but there is class participation, a presentation, a research paper AND a take-home exam. SIGH. For another 4cred mod, there was research paper ONLY.Can't wait for school to be over this sem! So sick of waking up mega early and all that. Plus I'm friend-less this sem :( Next sem must plan mods properly and take into account the ppl who will be taking the classes with me. Oh and continuing with the problematic mod, I think this was partly the cause of my insomnia. I thought there was no class one day and totally panicked when I realized there actually was lesson on that day and that I had unintentionally pon. Dunno why I got stressed out because of that but that was the start of my insomnia phase. Urgh silly to be sick because of school.

Finished watching Ouran Highschool Host Club and Goro's Sasaki [something something] drama! Ouran was based on a manga so the actions were exaggerated and there were animations and stuff. My mom called it "drama biol" [weird drama] coz of the exaggerations but I think I could appreciate it somehow coz that's what the manga is like? Hahah and the story is generally so ridiculous that it became funny. Sasaki was awesome! Made me think a lot about how I'd be if I marry a lawyer. Hated the wife though. She was such a bitch and I had no sympathy for her at all. Not sure if it's because I'm bias towards Goro...but I really hated her calculating and scheming character. Both had satisfying endings =) Seriously why I very much prefer Japanese dramas to Korean. I gave up on protect the boss coz it was getting so draggy and boring. It started off really well though. I even thought it might surpass City Hunter but obviously not.

Feel like sleeping early tonight. Shall force myself to read something first.

Decided to revive this

2011-09-26T20:37:00.002+08:00

Haven't written in here for more than a month. Many many things happened in between. The latest news is that my ex-colleague will be leaving spore very soon (like tomorrow or the day after) to work in Paris, and then Shanghai for years. Zomggg ppl are really leaving me one by one. My neighbour left and then now her =( Thank god I had the urge to contact her last night, if not I wouldn't know until she's gone. She was asking about me and I told her that everything is still the same. After whining a bit we all decided that it needs a conclusion like really soon. Coz when we looked back, I told her the story about...4 years ago? But there's still no satisfactory ending.

Anyway, Bull Doctor and Hi wa Mata noboru have ended :( Both were really good dramas! The pace was just nice and both were rather episodic so they were the kind I really like. The endings were satisfactory too!! Watching Galileo now, which is a 2007 drama. Many ppl recommended it but I'm only watching it now. It's really awesome! It's about an eccentric scientist who helps the police solve weird cases. Shingo was in one of the episodes and he was so handsome in it lol. I'm also watching big bang theory and modern family. Oh and this lawyer drama which Goro is in which I've never heard before but apparently it's funny.

I have a research paper to doooo. I'm so bored of it though!!!

Kimura/SMAP-centric post.

2011-08-17T11:19:00.003+08:00

Class ended at 12 pm yest so I happily went home by BUS and watched protect the boss on my super-awesome-can-read-soft-subs phone (I have no idea if other phones can do this but I'm still amazed at my smart phone since not all media players on my laptop can read softsubs automatically). Then when I reached home, there was this hoohaa about Kimura's press conference in Beijing. So I watched it live and amggg he's still cool. As in I KNOW he's still cool but watching him 'live' and all that...Okay obviously I've been neglecting smap for too long.

The press con was rather disorganized and confusing...It started late (he was there already) and the MC was making snide remarks apparently and the translator mixed up the countries -.-" Then some fans got up to give him gifts and they were dressed HORRIBLY. Like tshirt and shorts kinda horrible like just woke up to go to the market kinda horrible. I was so shocked lah. Like you're meeting your idol in THAT?? Madnesss!!! And he complimented one of the fan's Jap for being subarashii :/ Awww I want to be complimented about my jap too. AND he had this prolonged handhake with this girl. AMG she probably hasn't washed her hands till now.

My Smap Aid CD has been shipped! Please let me get the red set! I hate yellow. Hopefully it'll reach Singapore by the end of this week. I've been hearing ppl rave about it but I can't join in their enthusiasm since the physical cd is not with me.

And my Kimura photobook + kouhaku 2 + tshirt box set will arrive end September =D Totally cannot wait for that one.

SMAP has been doing handshake events in Japan for the last few days and fans have been reporting on those sessions. I am so jealous of those fans :( Anyway we got information that Kimura uses Bleu de Chanel. I have no idea how that smells like but I'm sure it smells awesome! The next time I buy perfume OMG I JUST REALIZED I CAN BUY IT FOR MY GRANDFATHER SO I CAN KNOW HOW IT SMELLS LIKE. Ah my grandfather can have 3 different perfumes now.

I've made up my mind that if I get arena tix for the Beijing Concert, I will go!

AND Nakai is back to spoofing things. This time he is part of showa jidai (old men generation) dancing to snsd's gee. I love his expressionless face and his dancing is awesome. Not a fan of his hair though but omg funny.

Obviously I have nth better to do

2011-08-15T12:06:00.002+08:00

I've neglected smap a lot for the past... 3 months :( But it's okay! I'm now back in the loop of all their news (I think). They have too many things going on all the freaking time I really cannot keep up!

Cannot wait for Smap Aid, Kimura's photobook, Men's non-no special =D

I should totally be reading for tonight's lesson but am feeling really lazy.

Applied for JLPT n4 test in December! Then panicked at the thought that the kanji I've been learning all this while is for N5 which is a lower level so downloaded all the apps I could find to help me study LOL.

2 hours had passed since I last typed this entry without publishing it and my life has changed significantly within the 2 hours I left the comp on. I just discovered that my phone is SO AWESOME THAT IT CAN READ SOFTSUBS. Omg I should have figured that out sooner!!! Now I can watch all my dramas while taking the mrt. I am now so motivated to take the mrt that I feel like going to school soon. LOLLLLLL. Zomg I love my phone.

Week 1 is over

2011-08-13T14:43:00.002+08:00

I survived the first week of intensive! Just that the last lesson on Friday was terrible coz we had this negotiation exercise which lasted more than 2 hours and I was the representative of this fake country which was modeled after the old Soviet Union. So you can imagine how stubborn and defensive I had to be about my territory :/ We had a report to do and that is done =D

Need to read the readings for intensive week 2 and do evidence tutorials. I seriously cannot live without muggers so hopefully I can find some by the end of this week.

Aviation was quite interesting but my geography failed terribly. We were supposed to label cities on the world map and I even got Singapore wrong LOL. The poor quality of the map played a huge part in my failure. I got the continents right at least for most of the cities.

The other mod will only start on 22nd august =D I haven't read the syllabus. Hopefully it's fun!

Year 3 Term 1 has started!

2011-08-10T13:18:00.007+08:00

Had my first lesson on Monday. It started at 6.30 pm but I was in school at 2 pm coz I had to get a book from co-op and co-op closes at 3.30 pm -.-" Sat around in the study room (I haven't been to the study room since... two years ago or something! I hate the study room) then EJ came along, then P came also so we went to the library to print out our readings.

P's readings for one lesson was as much as our readings for the entire semester. LOLL I cannot imagine anyone finishing all those readings in time for each lesson. Unless they don't sleep and eat.

The mode of examination for this module is a research paper :( I hate coming up with my own research qns lah. But the good thing is that I don't have to read the readings too carefully since in the end, they may not be useful for my paper.

Watched rag yesterday and it was so awesome that we won 3 awards! Like this was the first time ever that we won anything, and suddenly we won 3.

Totally worth it sitting (more like squatting) under the super hot sun and coming back for the results at night. We missed the fireworks though =( This year's rag's 'plot' was very clear and the movements were simple but everyone was synchro so it looked really nice. And there were many participants so the stage looked full and all that? And the float was pretty! Hahah zomg super different from our rag in 2009 which was pretty too but less fancy.

~~Shall start attempting Friday's tutorial~~. Omg I don't have tutorial this week!!! Okay shall try to find places on the map.

5 more days to school

2011-08-03T11:15:00.003+08:00

Obviously I wish the hols could be longer but ohwell! And somehow, I'm quite looking forward to the subjects I'm taking this time since I got all my top choices (Except for Evid. obviously.). Still considering whether to drop either aviation or the drafting contracts mod for mandarin! I really want to study mandarin (No exams!) but aviation is too relevant plus interesting.

Life has been awesome so far.

I have a new phone! =D It's really pretty! I just need to figure out how to play around with it more. And I think I can finally say that I've moved on for real this time coz I didn't even bother to transfer certain messages over to the new phone, which was what I've been doing for all my previous phones. (Although part of the reason was because I didn't know how to do that but I didn't diligently try to figure it out either)

Fasting month has begun! I'm quite apprehensive about having to break fast in the middle of my intensive classes (3 times a week, 3 hours each session!) but I will survive!

Need to travel to school one of these days to get my books.

My Jap teacher is leaving :( She was such a nice teacher! To think I thought she wasn't too good in the beginning coz she spoke too fast. That was probably just me being slow. She wrote us a card each and C and I got something special! She gave the two of us Toto chan and the book has both Jap and Eng in it!! Super cool! It'll be years before I can read the book in Jap since it is filled with kanji and no tiny hiragana at the top but that shall be my aim! To be able to read it someday. We'll have a new teacher next week. Apparently she's cute and pretty, similar to that teacher whom I thought was very cute and pretty last time. Hopefully she's good. Taking the JLPTN4 at the end of the year!

City Hunter is over =( Best drama of the year seriously. The ending was so awesome, other than the fact that it was slightly rushed... Sigh I'll miss this drama. Currently watching Bull doctor, Hi wa Mata Noboru, Myungwol the Spy and MAYBE Ouran High School Host Club. Watched Ouran's first eps and it was so freaking ridiculous and cartoony but somehow I still want to watch the 2nd eps. Bull doctor and Hi wa Mata Noboru are really good!!! But doubt I'll be raving about them as much as I did for CH. CH is at another level already

Well enough to get out of bed.

2011-07-21T11:07:00.002+08:00

Had the worst food poisoning/gastric ever. It started at work after lunch, puked once, and then it was time to go home. Felt like puking again in the bus and we all blamed the jerky bus for that. But it wasn't the bus that was at fault afterall coz everything that went in went out. No diarrhea though thank god. Ended up going to the hosp at night coz I couldn't breathe.

I had a fever so they put me in this isolated place. Everything was so. slow. It took at least 2 hours before I could see the doctor. Then they dumped me in this observation ward and left me there to die. Okay not to die but I was supposed to be on a drip BUT I have needle/blood phobia right so I started hyperventilating when the doctor tried to insert that needle thingy. LOLLL Okay I can laugh while looking back but it so wasn't funny when it happened. So my phobia is not imagined afterall! As in I literally hyperventilated and the stupid needle didn't go in on the first try so I stopped the doctor before she could make her second attempt. She ended up giving me some tablet instead. Should have started with that -.-"

Was given 3 days' worth of medical leave but I think I should be well enough to go back to work tomorrow. I shan't eat from that stall anymore :( Nvm one more week of work left! I miss my colleagues. They are too cute. The way they check on me is "Are you alive?" lol.

And friends are ❤. Everything will be better in time bb!

Time to catch up on last night's city hunter. The cliffhanger might be too much for my weak heart though but I can't wait already.

Guess what this post is about!

2011-07-17T22:18:00.003+08:00

City Hunter of course. Eps 15-16 are crazy emotionally. Just as you swoon over the cute/sweet moments in eps 15, you get the super sad scenes in eps 16 ='( Poor Kimnana.

Anyway! I have loads of work to do at work! Need to draft out some rules and regulations and then come up with some FAQs for this new system. Should be able to finish it by next week! Only 2 more weeks of attachment left! The best thing about this internship is really the people ❤

Taking an MC tomorrow though. Visiting the doctor to see if there is any hormonal imbalances that caused the sudden pimple outburst lol.

And yesterday's dinner was so awkward :/ But thank god for N and my parents (lol) who came to the 'rescue'. Amg epic.

Drama of the year

2011-07-10T15:44:00.002+08:00

Seriously this drama is too good. I rmbr harping about SKK and Fugitive Plan B but I swear City Hunter is even better than those 2 put together!!! And I'm so not bias since I'm not even a huge fan of Lee Min Ho(t).

I'm having a "I-absolutely-cannot-wait-for-Wed" syndrome hence this repeated post.

FRIDAY FRIDAY

2011-07-08T09:17:00.002+08:00

Looking forward to the weekend, weekend!

Doesn't seem to have work to do today... I brought my mandarin textbook though! LOL maybe can practice chapter 2 now. Tired of writing "how are you? I am fine. How are you? I'm fine too." ten thousand times.

A new batch of interns started work this week! Guess how many of them are females... none. This is so depressing. I'm still the only female intern around. I'm fine with the guys but they can be too... 'rough' sometimes? Not physically rough but in their words. Then I have to pretend to be insensitive and all that because if I were to act normally, they'd accuse me of being too "girl" -.-"""""

I miss some ppl a lot.

City Hunter this week was superrrr good. Haven't watched eps 14 properly though. Only read the live recaps. Eps 13 was fantastic. Leeminhot's character changed a bit and I hope NaNa can help him stay human...and more interactions between these two pls!

Okay I better go pretend to be doing some work or something.

2011-07-04T19:46:00.003+08:00

I've forgotten how I like dbsk coz they can sing and are good looking! I mean SMAP is awesome of course but dbsk are talented in that they write their own music! And they can speak jap! So I can actually like understand a bit? ❤ Of course this was triggered after watching the preview MV of their jap song which was so... hot? But the sound is 'computerised'? They can sing superbly so dunno why they chose such a uh 'computerised' music?

Found an English serial to watch! Apparently it's really good so shall try to find it now. It's called 'Community'.

City Hunter is on Starhub channel ONE! (800+ dunno which channel exactly) Awesome. Shall re-watch CH while waiting for weds/thurs.

We have a new batch of interns and not a single one of them is female :( Every time they talk about some starcraft game or something I would know nth abt it.

Oh and I love the new perfume! The smell's strong and it stays!

Life goes on.

2011-07-04T09:53:00.003+08:00

Sometimes there are some things in life which happen in cycles right... There's this one thing that keeps repeating itself and now it's at the 'plateau' stage. I think it's best to remove myself from the cycle before I get extremely exhausted and border on hating?

Oops emo moment at work on Monday morning.

Where did Sunday go...

2011-07-03T18:01:00.002+08:00

Boo the weekend is over.

Now I'm quite scared to go to work in case I have extra work to do after Friday's session with the bigboss. And amg I seriously loathe doing reviews of... just about anything. I mean the status quo is actually very good already imo. But now I have to pluck new ideas out of thin air and I'm the least creative person ever. Give me manual photocopying job any day man.

And how to wait for Weds/Thurs for City Hunter! Why is there no proper preview!

Jap class today was fine... Only finished last week's hmwk and haven't had the time to even attempt to finish up the backlog.

I seriously need to hide the pimple extractor coz I just tried to stunt the growth of a zit and now there's another obvious scar on my face. Fml seriously.

Woohooo another week gone

2011-07-02T19:45:00.004+08:00

Okay why did I woohoo at that. A good thing is that I have only 4 more weeks of work but the bad thing is that it's one week closer to school...and we all know how I feel about school. I really hope I get my top 2 choices. After the bad luck of getting evidence in sem 1, pls let me be lucky this time!

Anyway, this week work was much better! I am a pro at excel now =) I figured out many many formulas through my own ingenuity (and google). Met many other scholars both interning and returning and we usually meet up during our extended lunch breaks so lunch is always fun! The big boss called me to his office while I was reading reviews of City Hunter on Friday and I thought he caught me slacking. He probably did but he was nice about it so I'm not blacklisted hopefully. Anyway I didn't have any work to do at that time and I couldn't have possibly sit and stone...

Oh oh one super embarrassing thing happened on Friday. On the way to work there was this handsome dude on the bus. So I told the other interns about him. And they went to email other staff to ask about him -.-"""""""""""" It was kinda funny the way they tried to be 'subtle' about it but amg super embarrassing. Coz I'm the only female intern so obviously the only one who'd even bother abt good-looking men is me. And it's not like I'm interested or wdv. It was just a comment and it got blown out of proportion -.-" Anyway below is their email convo:

R: Really sorry, but could we reschedule our lunch to next week Tuesday? I totally didn't realise that we have a new guy joining the department today so I should eat with the department.
B: Sure no problem at all! [...] Anyway, just out of curiosity, is the new guy in your department wearing purple today?
R: Hahaha. The new guy is creeped out and says you (or JR) are colour blind. :P
B: Whatttt? Hmmm I'm pretty confused. So he's wearing a colour that looks like purple? It is of utmost importance for one of my 3 friends to know if the new guy is wearing purple.
R: My turn to go Whatttt??? You guys are gonna have to explain this to me.. He's wearing purple with light pink stripes.
S: Hahaha! Nice!! One of us is going to be very happy over the next month or so.
R: [...] Want me to bring him to our lunch? ;)

LOL. I can imagine him being totally creeped out. His first day at work somemore. Sigh. Will think twice before commenting on random people to the other interns.

City Hunter eps 11 and 12 are awesome as usual! Everyone MUST watch this drama seriously. It's too good! And there are happy sweet scenes between LeeMinHoT and NaNa which made me feel all fluffy but of course it was short-lived. But that's not too bad a thing since the plot twists only serve to make the story more interesting. My heart is alright so far even though it stopped for awhile after eps 11. Cannot wait for Weds!

Bought many things today =) Okay not that many. I bought a new bottle of perfume. The bottle is really pretty. I miss my first ever perfume though. It's no longer in production =( It was the best ever perfume imo. I can totally recognize it if someone were to use it. Even the men's version.

Time for dinner and Boss eps 10!

Must remember to choose modules tomorrow.

2011-06-24T21:00:00.002+08:00

I survived one week of work!!! Amg 5 more weeks to go! I love the other interns! There are 4 of us and I know 2 of them since we're/were schoolmates...The other intern is friendly and nice so everyone's good! Haha it's really the people that make work bearable.

The number one bitch thing is transportation. The place is extremely ridiculously ulu.

Just watched city hunter 10. It's so awesome... This drama is really up there. Like I think it beats even SKK? The plot is so good so far and there is none of those unnecessary scenes. Every single scene has its purpose. Of course Lee Min Ho(t) adds to its awesome factor.

*SPOILER*

In this episode Kim Nana confessed her feelings. And he harshly rejected her. And even tried to make her 'jealous'. But she was so awesome and said something like how her feelings are hers and she's not forcing him to reciprocate or wdv. And the woman he chose was unworthy of her jealousy.

Woah love her honest character. And that is so true? Like when ppl confess it may not necessarily mean that they want that feeling to be reciprocated? Like if it is mutual than good for you but if it's not, it's still okay and there's nothing to lose when you confess your feelings? Ah she's so brave.

Shall watch some smap now.

Just thought of somethingw

2011-06-16T01:09:00.002+08:00

Crap suddenly I feel scared for school. Stupid evidence seriouslyyy. They just HAD to split me from everybody else. And the modules are different from last year's in terms of schedule and all. Need to arrange my time table carefully. Ggxx lah compulsory modules are the best since I don't have to think at all. AMG I just checked and evidence is freaking 8 creds. asdfjklgchq seriously. AND KH JUST TOLD ME IT'S SIMILAR TO LAWR. Bloodyhell. Lawr was my worst nightmare. And it was 4 creds. And I already wanted to die.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

ZOMG SERIOUSLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. If sem 1 is going to be just like year 1...I will be so freaking miserable and depressed every day.

On a happier note, went bowling and now my wrist hurts. But I didn't longkang too much though! Still the lousies LOL but that's expected.

Back to my whining. ggxxxxxxxxxx I looked through the list one more time and all I could see are dean listers and seniors. ohgodseriouslysavemepls.

Taking a break after episode 8. 3 more episodes! Should be able to finish the drama tonight... but not sure if I can sleep after that...WHY IS IT SO SAD. If there's someone who doesn't shed a single tear watching this is... then he is heartless? I have to pause every now and then to take tissue paper :'(

Worst fan seriously

2011-06-14T12:54:00.003+08:00

I missed two weeks of SxS in a row!

Last Monday I couldn't watch it coz we were out doing random things like watching KungFu Panda (on imax in 3D at that. Not worth the money though) and buying presents and samdong notebooks and karaoke-ing (Omg btw I think I sang the most in that one session than my entire karaoke trips ever. LOL I think only coz I actually knew the songs chosen or I was in the mood or it was a happy day or something). That week's sxs was super epic coz 2 cute 6 year olds came for bistro and they played hide-and-seek and taught smap how to dance this super cute 'theme dance' (for their drama). SUPER CUTE!

This week's SXS was epic too coz KinkiKids (hahah i know the name sounds wrong) came for ES. I haven't watched bistro yet but I watched dame no otoko (terrible male character) segment! And LEE SEUNGGI was in it!! Aww seunggi spoke jap and he was quite fluent! And I could understand most of what he said! Goro's "can't/won't be beaten" character was back! Still downloading the episode now so can't watch yet :/

And I missed last night's episode coz we went to celebrate S's birthday ❤ and then went to watch super8. P said super8 was 'really good' and that I'd like it (coz of the romance bits) but didn't say that it was scary -.-""" It was so freaking scary in the suspense way? Like I watched 1/4 of it through my fingers coz the stupid THING was really gross with all the sound effects and all that. The ending was O.0 too. Now I want to watch hangover and maybe xmen!

No tuition today!

Late realization

2011-06-12T18:18:00.003+08:00

I'll be a year 3 come August!!! I'm old!!! I 'realized' this after talking to C about the Singapore ST during japclass today. We were saying things like "the year 1s can organize everything" and then thinking no they are "year 2s" already...then realizing that we're "year 3s"!!! Omg and we learned what's "Harry Potter was written by JK Rowling" in Jap right and C asked what's her real name and I immediately thought of the case where she sued a newspaper so her real name was there #lawschnerd.

My Jap class is going so fast! As in we're on to the 4th textbook already! My Jap SHOULD be more pro now. Talking about being more pro, I decided to create a new twitter account for my emo needs. LOL! And it will be exclusively in Jap. And tweeting in Jap is damn awesome coz you can write a lot and it'll still be less than 140 characters! Even the username is damn emo LOLLLLL I'm dumping the blame on my hormones.

Anyway. Some of my ogmates are watching soccer at jalan besar but I shall not go out of the house today since my pimples are too obvious.

1 litre of tears is crazy sad!!! I started bawling at eps 2. Stopped watching at eps 4 though coz I thought I was getting dehydrated LOL. Shall continue tonight!

If there's one emotion I don't want to feel right now, it'll be that 'taken for granted' kinda feeling. And after being emo for the past 2-3 days/nights today I suddenly felt that some ppl can gth seriously. Okay not that bad but you know what I mean!

Okay time for dinner!

心が強くないよ。

2011-06-11T20:09:00.002+08:00

Was forced to wake up early and then whisked away for 'lunch' by my mom, leaving my dad behind. They probably had some minor argument or something. Walked around, shopped then travelled by bus. LOL haven't taken the bus in eons.

Rushed for tuition after that only to find that there was nobody at home. Zomg so ridiculous!! Imagine if I didn't drive and had to go home by bus/cab. I would be super annoyed and would refuse to teach the brat anymore.

Spent my entire afternoon/evening doing the silly poster/banner for my dad -.-"" I should be paid seriously.

The mother annoying mosquito bite turned into a pimple. Never knew that that was possible! And it's huge and red and super obvious since it's on my cheeks. There is a scar on my nose because of another pimple and one more is appearing near my eye. WDHHHH why are pimples mushrooming on my face now! But I've learnt my lesson of not stunting their growth. It'll be worse if I meddle and try to stop them from appearing. I need those "no scars left behind bandaid" that Lee min ho put on the girl.

And ignorance is bliss. I'm only going to get more depressed. I bet after I rant P will just say I'm being over-dramatic but =(

Jap class tomorrow. New conjugation which is difficult!

Shall start watching 1 litre of tears. An excuse to cry every 5 mins.

2011-06-10T20:37:00.002+08:00

I'll be raving about City Hunter every week.

2011-06-03T20:16:00.003+08:00

Just watched eps 4 and it was crazy awesome... Now it's a 'battle' between father and son and in one scene I thought he was really going to crash into LMH. LMH's character is complex and you cannot help but sympathize with him? He is torn between revenge and principles and love. Another plus point is the public prosecutor who's idealistic and believes in justice. Like RARE?? Haha many will accuse public prosecutors as the lowest scum on earth (and I really dislike how they exercise their discretion most of the time) so watching an idealistic (but nonetheless pompous and living the life) PP is refreshing.

Watched Boss 2 also and the opening scene was of the guys going to this bar then suddenly their boss was there also with the gay police and 2pm was performing heartbeat jap version on stage. LOLLLL Hahahha I was so shocked coz suddenly I saw Taec and Nickhun and then realized it was all of them on stage. I have no idea what was the purpose of this scene other than the fact that we now know the Boss is a fangirl who likes 2pm. The last scene shows them in the dressing room playing something. I think one of them even spoke Jap. Must give it to them for being 'creative' in promoting themselves. And I take back what I said abt Boss 2 becoming more 'normal'. The latest eps was quite interesting!

Shall watch 2d1n and then sleep early.

So many things to watch!

2011-06-03T12:35:00.002+08:00

I'm watching City Hunter which is so awesome. Lee Min HOT is in it =D Love his hair here and the clothes he wear zomg. Suits and leather jackets and tank tops. And the revenge+romance+betrayal plot makes this a must watch!

And Miss Ripley is apparently good too but I haven't watched any episode yet. If I do watch, it'll probably only be for Yoochun.

Shiawase ni narou yo is ending soon so I shall just wait for all the remaining episodes to be out before I watch it. This drama is 'normal'... I mean not very exciting or anything :/ Just that Shingo is in it and Meisa is pretty.

Boss 2 is getting more 'normal' too :/ But it's uh episodic? (is there such a word?) so it's easy to watch since each crime is solved within an episode.

And of course all the subbed smap videos being released by smappiesubs. Lol I love stalking their page coz they update their progress in subbing each video so I can anticipate when they'll be released. Looks like a couple of the recent SXS eps will be released soon YAY.

I want photos! I was planning to print the photos today but obviously the guys are so slow in sending me the pics. I bet they haven't even uploaded them onto the comp.

Don't feel like finishing any Jap hmwk today :/

Okay shall go watch City Hunter eps 4 (aired in Korea last night) with super bad software translated subs. Bad subs still better than nothing but I really appreciate how these fans manage to sub so quickly! I wonder when will my Jap be good enough for me to try subbing...Maybe by the end of this year? Hahah I'd be halfway through pre-advance Jap by the end of this year.

Back from a super awesome short holiday!

2011-06-01T22:48:00.003+08:00

Freaking 3 shades darker lah. And there was a pimple on my forehead.

Anyway so Phuket in point form!

Day 1

- Early morning flight, woke up at 6 when I had to be at airport at 6.20 am.

- Plane was speeding so reached Phuket earlier than scheduled.

- Took taxi, was probably sweet-talked into paying slightly extra for our tour on day 2 but the woman was nice

- Our villa was mad awesome. It was hugeass (the entire area), we had no neighbour, the pool was right in front of our house.

- I think we just sat on the sofas for like 30 mins doing nothing after being in shock at the awesomeness of our accommodation.

- Decided to take advantage of the free bicycle rent and was told that the nearest food place (beyond the villa's own 30 restaurants) was about 2 km away. But in the end we cycled for 1 hour and bought instant noodles from a supermarket -.-"""""" LOLLLLL

- The guys swam while I sat ard.

- Syaz and S finally came and we took a train to Phuket Town to go to the nightmarket. Taxi driver cheated us and we had to take another tuktuk to get to the place. Similar to chatuchak at bangkok. Ate there (my stomach is awesome seriously. no diarrhea after eating food prepared outdoors, without gloves) and shopped a bit.

- Bought ingredients to cook spaghetti for the next day's dinner.

- Went back by tuktuk. The driver was awesome!

- Omg can't rmbr what we did at night. Probably just slacked in front of the TV.

Day 2

- A minivan picked us up to go to some jetty.

- Took a boat to 4 different islands - James Bond, Naka, Phan Nga? and one more I can't rmbr.

- A Jap sat next to me on the boat and so we made friends! Hahah skipped this week's lesson but got to practice my jap! Braided hair dude was flirting with her so we saved her and she tagged along with us!

- Sat on the canoe while the canoe-ist paddled us to this cave/mangrove area. Damn cool! Had to lie down at one point coz the rocks were very close to the waters. Took loads of pictures here.

- Canoed twice then 'swam'. They jumped from the 2nd storey of the boat into the waters which was super scary!! Obviously I didn't join them. I would have drowned or something.

- But I did get into the water after that! Quite shallow so we could walk/wade in the water and it was really far from the shore!

- It was a bit mendak on the boat though (LOL NEW VOCAB)

- Went home and cooked dinner. Hahah okay I think I only like stirred the sauce for awhile.

- Ate dinner and watched Hitch.

- Played UNO (I lost) and monopoly (Lost again). We played until 2 plus so was damn shagged.

- Oh yah! We rented motorbikes and rode ard the villa for awhile.

Day 3

- S&S went off early :/

- Biked to Patong beach and stopped to ride the elephants on the way! Fun!! Bumpy though. But I won't ride elephants anymore lah. So kesian must walk up hill :/ And I got sunburnt on my KNEES because of the ride.

- Had lunch at Patong which was not so good.

- Then jet-skied. Okay I tompang-ed only lah but it was damn fun!! Hahah bumpy also!

- Then it rained and we sat at starbucks before going to Kata Beach coz our Jap friend from the day before recommended it.

- Kata beach was damn nice!!!! Very few people and the beach was clean! And the waves were big and nice!!! 'Swam' a bit and played with the sand loll

- Went back and it was raining so it was super cold.

- Stopped halfway to buy dinner from the roadside stalls coz we wanted authentic thai food.

- Got home, showered then had our awesome dinner.

- Watched despicable me then slept. The pillows were fluffy!!

Day 4

- Foot massage at the airport! LOL

- Back to Singapore :(

- I will so miss the place and the company! Okay I will see them soon in Singapore lah but it's different when we're overseas? Anyway this shared memory is freaking precious I better remember all the moments.

BTW I must talk abt results since that was the main thing bugging me before the trip. Got the SMS on the morning of day 2 and I was so ridiculously happy that I passed (yes that's my standard now). The sms had the module codes but I don't rmbr which code stood for which module so I assumed that my worst grade was for my worst subject. BUT P just told me that the grade I thought I got for public law was actually for LCS. Like WHAT. I.e. I passed public law with flying colours (according to my standard)!!! LOL amg alhamdulillah! I can start thinking about telling my mom about Beijing now haha!

My mom wanted to see photos so I had to remove a lot before showing her. So instead of 300+ photos she saw 71 LOLLL. Okay lah the pics are not bad or wdv just didn't want her to get the wrong idea coz she may not understand the circumstances.

My body is aching now. Must be coz of the super bumpy bike + jet ski + elephant. Probably would need a few days to recover lol.

Smap time! Missed this week's epic sxs with bieber and the drama. And amg fiction song is stuck in my head.

City Hunter is awesome!

2011-05-27T19:02:00.002+08:00

Shouldn't have watched an on-going drama seriously! I have the tendency to be obsessed and will demand fast release of eng subs. Actually the 'proper' subs for eps 1 (aired on 25th May) is already out so that's extremely fast. But because I'm impatient, I want subs for eps 2 to be out too :/ The computer generated subs are out. They are okay but obviously you can't understand fully. Urgh this would mean watching each eps twice each time. One with the anyhow subs and one with 'proper' subs.

Lee Min Ho is so handsome??? There is revenge and romance and it's slightly funny coz of his playful nature. His 'step' father is so awesome also. So cold and ruthless. The setting is 2011 Seoul but the 1st eps was all about him being raised in the jungle (step dad is a drug lord) and jungle boys are always hot? Manly! But LMH is too handsome? Very pretty to be dirty and rough but somehow his acting was really good!

My grandfather said LMH is more handsome than Kimura :(

Anyway! I cannot wait for eps 3 already!!!

OUCH MY HEART

2011-05-26T00:03:00.003+08:00

Just read a translation of Kimura's what's up smap (his radio show) from 1999 (btw WUS is still ongoing. So it has been ard like..forever.) where he talked abt his breakup with his long-time gf. They've been together since he was 17! They were together for 9 years! And SHE dumped him (Like amggg she must be regretting it now??) [EDIT: She did dump him but not because they fell out of love or wdv but it was because of his career..so it makes things sadder!!!!]

ANYWAY. He sounded so sad!!! (Coz the translation included things like him tapping the pen, pausing and all that) and he said something about how it's all about going places together whenever either/both feels like going somewhere, and not creating memories for the sake of creating memories (like by taking pics every few mins). And how he likes her because she sees him as him and not as an idol.

OUCHHHHH heart pain. Can so feel his sadness!

:'( Omg wrong thing to read at night. Now I'll be emo the whole night. Okay emo=listen to doushite.

While waiting for videos to be transferred to my thumbdrive

2011-05-25T18:29:00.002+08:00

Have I said that I must work this sem? I have an internship for SIX weeks from 20th June all the way till 29th July :/ 6 weeks is no joke pls. It's like more than a month! All the way till school! I.e. I must totally maximise whatever holiday I have left! And I can't go overseas already :/ Other than Phuket I guess.

And speaking of Phuket, my camera is alive!!! Lol I thought it was dead and gone when I couldn't even switch it on a few months ago. But I tried charging the battery and now it works! =D

Since my last post about 1 hour ago, I havent touched any jap hmwk -.-" BUT I've been looking through modules (a bit) so at least not that unproductive! Okay MUST finish at least one topic by tonight!

Learnt something new abt KT today!

2011-05-25T17:03:00.002+08:00

I never knew he had a tattoo :/ And that his wife has a similar one! amg i'm a bad fan!!!

I don't consciously try to find out about his personal personal life but I'm in the I-hope-they-are-happy-together camp! They must be lah since they've been together for like..11 years now? And they have 2 cute daughters! I know he kept talking about family as his base in 2006-2008 but I haven't watched those clips fully coz they were really long and I was watching something else during that time. Must dig out those clips after this! AND I keep finding out more stuff abt him! About his ex-gf and all that. I think I couldn't be bothered to read those news last time coz I cannot imagine him and the girl (who dumped him like WHAT.) but now I can uh read news calmly? LOL. Okay maybe not. I rmbr reading about how he was depressed and all but I don't want to have that image of him? Sian like pick and choose like that. Okay I shall read about those dark days!

Went to the hospital in the morning, had lunch and then took a short nap. Supposed to be doing my jap hmwk (which is piling) but was distracted as usual with smap news.

This week's sxs was quite funny coz they changed the format. So now it's 2 vs. 2 and Goro had his cute moment when he argued with Tsu about whether wdv he cooked was paella or bibimbap and then asked shingo for help. LOLLLL And the guest was Ayase who is realllly blur and damn cute and they played skipping rope (easy for smap since they are like awesome at everything) and Judge Talk segment was with Mukai. But I think I laughed more during last week's sxs!

Crap just saw the tabs on next sem's electives and realized I dunno which ones to take?? I must take one intensive, 1 language or something haven't decided between jap/korean/arabic and now I need 2 more. Okay time to contact seniors!

Andd back to using my brains for jap hmwk.

Coming down with something

2011-05-24T23:13:00.002+08:00

I'm sweating even though the fan is blasting in my face and a fever is coming probably :/

And some people are really...I dunno desperate? Zomg cannot be more obvious. And of all people why have you chosen me to bug.

THIS IS HIP SONG ROCK TONIGHT

2011-05-23T12:35:00.006+08:00

Okay that's the only line I know from that song since it's in English.

Two days ago, Rain tweeted some pics of himself in Germany and he was so adorable in those pics and suddenly I had the urge to watch his concert (which was scheduled the next day i.e. yesterday). Super random coz I don't even know his songs. I've only watched him in Fugitive Plan B and Full House LOL. Anyway 811 didn't mind going (I think his main motivation was to watch 2pm watch Rain) and so we bought tickets. I was quite surprised that there were tickets available in the first place since it was only one day before the concert. Also, I was expecting to get bad seats but we got the centre seats! Like centre centre. Thank God Lift didn't answer his phone when I called coz he later recommended the side terrace seats which would have made us closer to the stage but because there was this extended runway and all, our view wouldn't have been as perfect. Plus we didn't have to like see him close-up or whatever since we're not exactly 'fans'.

Spent the night listening to all his songs. Thank God he only had like 6 albums. Very easy to get through all. I love

사랑이라는 건 (Sarangiraneun Geon)
내 여자 (Nae Yeoja, My Girl)
널 붙잡을 노래 (Neor Butjabeur Norae, Love Song)
Hip Song
One
똑같아 (Ttokgata, Same)
Rainism

Okay so we reached about 30 mins before the concert was scheduled to start and the atmosphere was I dunno relaxed and slightly un-concert like? As in there were many people but couldn't feel the excitement (compared to the crazy excitement while waiting for SMAP's concert to start. Like we were to enter about 2 hours before the concert starts and everyone was either queuing to buy concert goods or just hanging around looking happy). Maybe the hardcore fans were already inside by that time. Bought his postcards LOL. Go concert MUST buy something. The other stuff are actually quite cute but no point buying them lah.

When we entered, only the standing area was filled but even then it wasn't like packed? And there were two sections blocked off and the seats were like.... 1/4 empty? More people came later so it didn't look THAT empty but it was still a bit... sad :/ According to TNP there were about 5000 people last night so I guess it wasn't too bad? Was quite surprised though since Rain IS an international star right.

In anyway, Rain was awesome... I mean I went without expecting anything since I had no idea what to expect in the first place. All I knew was that it had to be good coz it's Rain and he can dance and his body is crazy and he is cute. Plus I had some of his songs stuck in my head so I would definitely recognize at least those. His dancing was amazing... and he IS cute! And he teased the audience a lot whenever he showed off his abs. Once, the camera went backstage and we could see him changing his top but when it came to his pants he pushed the camera aside (only the makcik could see LOLLL). Oh oh and there was this water feature thing for one of his songs. Water fell from a huge 'shower head'...quite cool! Overall it was very very entertaining!

Only those standing and some at the sides were enthu. Those in the middle weren't the most enthu bunch?? Like everyone was seated most of the time? I wanted to stand but like quite paisey ah then ppl at the back cannot see since they weren't standing (unlike in SMAP's concert where EVERYONE stood up for almost the entire FOUR hours waving their penlight and uchiwa ALL THE TIME. We only sat when smap asked us to during the MC break). I think we were definitely more enthu than the uh 'fans'. Like seriously? I was waving my penlight throughout the entire concert until my forearm hurts like mad now and I kept screaming (since not many ppl were) as if I was a damn hardcore fan.

I mean the artiste is supposed to entertain you right, but he gets the motivation/energy from the audience? Like SMAP always says this like how they get more "tension" and all that from the audience's reactions and cheers. Like it's quite common-sensical? I would be so sian if there I was dancing enthusiastically and the audience just give me a o.o face. And Rain had to keep asking the audience to put their hands in the air/stand up (for like a few songs, which everybody did, before sitting down after that).

Or maybe many were like us who were there to "appreciate talent" LOL.

After the concert ended (there was no 'proper' encore?? He did say it was the last song, went backstage, and then came back on for a few more songs but it wasn't like you know... encore-y? Heck the audience didn't even like shout 'Encore' unitedly? I'm guessing those standing and at the sides were randomly shouting encore but there wasn't like any united effort c.f. Smap had THREE freaking encores coz everyone kept shouting for them to come back on every time they said bye) we went to the carpark area (I forgot why we went there in the first place. Was it coz we saw ppl running towards that area? Or was it coz of 2pm haha whom we didnt see in the end) and waited for Rain to appear. It was more like a herd mentality kind like they must be experienced fans and something must be happening so let's just follow.

The wait was quite worth it though coz Rain finally appeared (about 45 mins later?) and he smiled and waved (aww damn cute) and went into his car and I think his window was down for a while coz we heard screams but couldn't see much. Then the car went past us and so we could see him inside his car (through heavily tinted windows).

Okay now can't believe we did all those. As if we didn't just buy the tickets the night before and as if we were true blue fans to bother to wait for his car and all that.

Oh oh and I have no idea how it's like in every other concert held in Singapore but taking fancams was rather easy? Like they weren't rigidly strict (unlike in Japan. Even if you sms, they'd come to you and check that you're not secretly recording, and cameras are confiscated).

I know I keep comparing SMAP with Rain and I'm most probably comparing apples and oranges but these are the only two concerts I've ever been to and after SMAP's I think nothing can compare in terms of scale, fans' enthusiasm, stage set-up and all that... (I haven't been to a non-asian celebrity's concert so can't compare with those). And okay Singapore Indoor Stadium cannot compare at all to Tokyo Dome. I mean Tokyo Dome is like 5 times bigger or something so the stage set-up could be grander, with cranes and all. And Rain's concert elsewhere must be bigger I guess.

So that was it... Rain's fan for a day. Haha okay lah I'd most probably still listen to those few songs of his coz they are really nice but I won't go around reading his news everyday. My love for smap is exclusive!

Oh but I think I should make this my hobby... LOL like watch random concerts to appreciate talent!

Woke up to this =)

2011-05-20T12:25:00.002+08:00

Hahah he got half a page!!! Okay LCL too. Oli smsed me in the morning about this so this is the first thing that I saw when I woke up =)

Not one of his best dramas though :( And many will agree that it's all because of her. Either her character or just... her.

I don't have E City so can't watch anyways. I will subscribe to it if it shows on-going dramas like one week after it airs in Japan like Mr Brain.

Okay! Time to do Jap homework. Left with... 7 more I think.

Everyone probably knows this already

2011-05-19T15:48:00.002+08:00

but JB tweeted Smap like 3 times yesterday and his fans went crazy re-tweeting it and asking who/what is smap. I was mega annoyed last night coz JB and Smap just... doesn't click? I mean I'm thankful to him that smap is STILL trending (free publicity thanx) but can anyone imagine smap singing BABY BABY BABY OH??? Oh god the image is horrifying. AND there are nasty comments by his fans abt smap's age. Like immature is immature right. Your idol will one day grow old too please.

I've calmed down a lot and decided to just laugh at those ignorant people. I mean if I dunno who/what something is, I'd google instead of screaming for someone to tell me who/what it is. Plus P said the most awesome thing - "At least it's JB. Imagine if it's Rebecca Black" LOLL love this dude. That made me feel 1345 times better (Don't ask why I was even crazily affected in the first place)

Now I just can't wait to know which segment of sxs he's gonna appear in. Please let it be anything but ES. SERIOUSLY. I'll be mad happy if it's Bistro. I mean he just has to sit there and eat.

In other news. I finished re-watching Pride. I've forgotten how good it really is...The script is brilliant (other than how "Maybe" was used a bit weirdly some times) and the pace and the plot development... perfect!!! Of course the acting is superb too... I mean it's Kimura and Yuko. LOVE this pair. I love kimuxmatsu too but yuko is just as adorable!! And they have great chemistry!

Oh oh and the soundtrack is filled with songs by Queen...including Bohemian Rhapsody LOLLL I was so shocked when I heard that. It was played during the crucial final championship match where Kimura was having a concussion and his play was elevated. Didn't notice the songs when I first watched it so this was new.

And I visited the dentist today. She was mad rough. And she practically washed my hair or something. She didn't care that water was like gushing out. Hahah gross I know. The vacuum thing was placed at weird angles so it wasn't effective.

Yesterday's SXS was so awesome! I can't seem to download the full eps coz it stops at like 15 MB twice already. Shall try again later. But I watched the two segments - the Ending Song + Talk with Mizuki Arisa and the Dame Otoko corner and that was enough to make me excited the whole night.

For the ES, the songs are really nice, especially Will Love.

君を愛してる愛してく.

不安もあるけど決めたんだ.

大好きから始まって終わらずに続いてく君とのstory

When singing "Kimetanda" Kimura was like smiling and I dunno flirting with the camera I had to loop that part many many many times. LOLLL the song was so nice and Kimura sang it so... sexily? I DUNNO HE WAS JUST SO AWESOME.

THEN I watched the Dame Otoko corner and it was hilarious coz the 'bad/useless guy' they portrayed was this guy (Tsu) who liked to dress as Lady Gaga. LOLLLL

Then they talked about how overseas, there are women who walks around bra-less and they were like hmmmmm that's not such a good thing. But it may be alright if it's your gf or mother. Kimura was the one who said that then Goro pointed to Nakai and said how Nakai is imagining it then Kimura got annoyed and was like "Nobody imagines it if it's his own Mother!!!" Then Nakai went "But does your mother..." And Kimura was like "OF COURSE NOT" in a super annoyed face. LOLLLL I had to loop his annoyed reaction many many times also coz it was tooo funny!

Ahhh I know sxs will always make me giggle somehow but last night was awesome.

So today I re-watched Pride and feel like crying. LOLL coz I was in awe at his awesomeness. His acting is like fantastic lah and his character is like the guy everyone dreams about? The Bad/tough guy who's everyone's leader, loved by everyone, but only shows his vulnerable side to one girl... The girl (Takeuchi Yuko) is like one of my favouritest actress and she's SO CUTE. In this drama both Kimura and her pout a lot hahah and their pouts are soo cute. He plays ice hockey and I love the bond amongst sportsmen and all those you know.. tough/cocky athlete kinda aura? Dunno what I'm blabbing about already. Shall watch the rest of the eps now. Halu+Aki LOVE.

2011-05-16T23:54:00.001+08:00

HOW CAN KT GET HOTTER EVERY WEEK. SERIOUSLY.

Good day

2011-05-15T23:57:00.002+08:00

Today was good =)

Had Jap class in the morning, then sold my year 2 books.

Took a nap then went out for dinner. On the way, met F. I vaguely recognize him coz of fb but I forgot his name somehow. He recognized me and then asked if I was in a rush. So I said I was going for dinner before watching the match. Then he asked how many friends were coming so I said 8 (P didn't confirm that he was coming -.-) and he said he could get me tix hahah so awesome!!! Such a coincidence! Felt bad for not remembering his name. Plus we went with the intention to support albirex some more. No wonder A keeps saying he's a nice guy!

Anyway, had dinner and we were damn lucky coz we went in and just nice there were empty tables for our group.

P came so we needed 9 tix and F said okay and gave us 9 tix =) I can't rmbr exactly but I think his dad is someone in TampRovers? That's why he could get us the complimentary tickets.

Eddy was damn rowdy and vulgar -.-""" Hahah but it made the match interesting lah. I was supporting Tamp even though I was seated at the away side. Overall quite an exciting match and Tamp is really not bad at all!

Successful outing to watch an s-league match! Yay! And it was our first ever outing in the EAST. Hopefully not the last!

I have an awesome desktop background!

2011-05-11T12:07:00.003+08:00

This was the 'project' I set out to do for this hols. Didn't realize that it would take me quite a while to finish. In fact it took me about 7 days or so coz I spent one day drawing/colouring one guy. After the first guy (Kimura, that's why he's the ugliest :/ and I didn't have the energy to re-do him) I was thinking that I should like a duo group or something since drawing five members is really tedious.

Then I showed syaz and she commented about the proportions and something about shingo's hands being weird so improved on that and the proportions aren't the greatest but better than the original so should be okay.

Anyway, here it is! Yay!

I'm still alive!

2011-05-10T23:18:00.003+08:00

Just that holidays are so awesomeee.

Just watched this week's smapxsmap and it's sooo funny. I've forgotten how hilarious smapxsmap can be and there's a new segment 'dame otoko' (Bad man) and they were really cute laughing amongst themselves and all... Oh and during bistro gay ppl were the guests and they were really really funny. And of course there's the scene where kimura was 'forced' to kiss one of the gays. Amggggggg damn funny.

LOVE SMAP. And I really really love their new single now. And Shingo's drama is awesome! Meisa is really pretty! And the story line is not bad at all!

I'm also watching Boss 2 and looking for another drama to follow. Nothing exciting so far. Can't wait for Kimura's!

And I've secured two magazines with smap on the cover LOL. Liangcourt kino ftw. No need to call exactly at 2 pm now since they accept advance reservations. Just that Liangcourt kino is damn ulu.

Ok shall go watch this cute movie about kindergarten kids trying to visit their friend who was admitted to the hospital. Damn cute movie but very cry-able.

One day late but YAY EXAMS ARE OVER

2011-04-28T17:50:00.002+08:00

3 months holiday starts now!!! Okay it started after the paper yesterday. Went out to eat with the og and then kbox at night. I hate kboxing right coz I can't sing for nuts then everyone will laugh at me when I sing so I hate it but I go anyway coz the company's awesome. Plus I get to be entertained and there was dbsk's doushite kimi ga suki ni natte shimattandarou LOL and the I can't let u go even if i try which is the rare korean song that I know. I can't believe there's no sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana there.

Anywayyy woke up quite early today coz I was hungry then went to visit my aunt at the hospital, then wanted to buy the tablet but I realized I should just get the pen first. Collected my lion king ticket! Watching this Saturday... exciting! Oh and I bought a light blue top for tonight's rally. LOLLLL enthu or what!!!

Dramas to watch:

Shiawase ni narou yo but no subs yet :(

Boss 1 and 2 (I watched boss 2 episode 1 and it was so good!)

And of course all the smap stuff I missed. They had many many things going on during the past month and I didnt manage to catch all though I keep reading abt how awesome they were.

Yay this hols will be good!

Less than 24 more hours

2011-04-26T16:27:00.002+08:00

before I can happily breathe normally again. Now my chest feels so constricted.

GOOD LUCK ME.

Equity is the more 'normal' subject but there are so many rules and there wont be much time to write everything.

Pls let me spot all the issues. And able to find the proper rules quickly. And able to discern between the more important rules and evaluate those. And apply.

There will be between 20 - 45 issues and we have 150 mins. Average about 6 mins per issue if he gives us 25 issues. Speedwriting skills or what.

I miss all the funny/cute/member-love moments on smapxsmap and kamisun (coming soon LOLLLL) yesterday =( =(

Okay nvm back to 'revising'. Ganbare bb.

Ah

2011-04-23T20:08:00.002+08:00

the only person who'd always ask me how's the paper and then be so honest abt how I screwed up/etc and then tell me to work harder for the next paper is kh hahah I love my awesome senior.

FML.

2011-04-23T14:10:00.004+08:00

Saw someone on fb asking for when Dry & Nappy Roadsweeping LLP internship will be open. LOL damn cute. I might have to apply for that too. Okay don't need to be so dramatic but seriouslyyyyy zomg depressing shitz today.

Hopefully I'll get out of this state soon though coz there's still equity to chiong for.

One down but fml seriously.

asdfjklgchqbbq.

!@#!$#^%

blah.

GOODLUCK ME!

2011-04-22T23:25:00.002+08:00

~~and the rest of lawsch who'd prob need it less.~~

public law is fluffier than the unicorn toy in despicable me. and studying it made me depressed ~~and want to vote for the opposition.~~

i still have a few stacks of notes to go through before i sleep. hopefully i can sleep by 1 am.

okayyyyy the end is near!

Urgh can't help it

2011-04-19T14:56:00.002+08:00

There are so many things going on and I can't concentrate!!!

1. Elections! Cannot stop reading the news and then the commentaries and then the general comments. Highly amusing.

2. Shingo's new drama. With Meisa and Riisa. I actually like both actresses AND apparently the chemistry with shingo is good. And the drama is cute. I love cute dramas!!!

3. Smap's new single. Ahmagawd it's so different from their usual poppish songs. And it's so... dreamy? Some described it as having a classic-feel? It's like... extremely hard to describe, but I can see the 'classic'-ness. Like it's meant for old dramas? I haven't gotten used to it yet though. I didn't rave about it like I did when I first heard This is Love. But I think it should suit Shingo's drama perfectly.

4. Drilling.

5. Random sleepy moments. I take 3 naps a day now. Sigh and still sleep at midnight.

Okay 8 more days till this is over! I can't look forward to a year without lawsch but it's okay! I will look forward to non-law modules! LOLLL haha

がんばれ！

Pausing from work to say

2011-04-17T18:02:00.001+08:00

I WANT BUBBLE TEA :(

You know

2011-04-15T21:04:00.002+08:00

when I'm on panic mode for exams, I will be super short fused. I am irritable and somehow become more vulgar. So. Be nice(r)?

And seriously eff pride and ego.

幸せになろうよ

2011-04-08T14:53:00.004+08:00

Still can't bring myself to mug hardcore-ly even though exams is in... I dunno very soon.

Negotiation test done =) We weren't too bad though I think we over prepared a little. Lol but it's okay, it's over. Brought my blazer and all that and we didn't even wear it in the end -.-" But since I drove, I could dump my formal clothes/shoes/etc in the car. I could seriously get used to life with a car.

Went back to school for 'dinner' but food was all gone. So had to travel out for dinner for like the third time this week? I dunno but I've been going to Marina Square/suntec a lot for the past few weeks coz of lcs.

Smap will have a new single =) To be downloaded digitally. No physical CD :( The title is "not alone ～幸せになろうよ～" or Not alone ~Let's be happy) Haha that's the title of Shingo's drama. I.e. the ost will be by smap =) Post-exam present!

Another happy smap-related news is that the magazine I wanted got re-stocked and now it's happily waiting for me to get it. The problem is it's at Liang Court and I have no freaking time to go there.

lovee

2011-04-06T19:07:00.003+08:00

Finally caught up with news on Marching J (Johnnys' charity event) and I think I've said this like ten million times already but smap is love. They were there for two days I think and on one of the days, Kimura was wearing this hideous suit. Gradient blue --> white. Hideoussss but ohwell. Lol everyone has been making fun of his choice of clothes so I shan't add to the jokes. Nakai was on a roll seriously... love reading all his banter and jokes (urgh even though he chased us away, he is seriously love.) and he even high-fived fans... like he hates being touched yet he high-fived fans. Only for charity. And he kept saying how it must be surreal seeing their super idol up close. LOL only nakai will harp about their status as 'super idol' And and 2Top interaction ftw =)

And the news coverage focused mainly on smap (many johnny idols were on stage each day but of course, smap is on a different level) and some fans of the younger idol groups were surprised. LOLL hhaha smap is super idol yo. The younger idols can't compete. At all!

I'm so glad that I like such a genuine idolgroup. Their characters are A+.

I really really love how they can make fun of each other and 'scold' the fans and all that and remain loved.

And I just watched ganbarimashou too. They had a basketball challenge and after they succeeded they had a group hug which was so so adorable coz after that they denied being genuinely happy and said that it was all for TV when it was so obvious that the hug was spontaneous. LOL.

Okay back to mugging and I realized my vocab is really limited. I think I used the word loved more than 6 times. Oh well! Smap IS love. (also coz I can't make the less than 3 symbol here dunno y)

Emonight

2011-04-03T22:51:00.002+08:00

I was actually 'bored' in japclass today :/ Probably coz I couldn't recognize half the vocab. Need to revise after exams. And my teacher said that I looked tired :(

Went home, then drove to costasands for nad's bday surprise, which was a success I think =) But we had to leave super early so didn't exactly talk/catch up or anything like that.

Got home and can't seem to do work. Exams are 20 days away and I'm like damn sian already.

Found N on twitter loll. Okay at least it's another avenue to somehow keep in touch with what's happening in our lives. If not it'll always be the rare "hello how's life" every few months which will end up in me saying things like "everything is the same" and then that's it. Quite sad la

My dad just left for brazil to play footvolley. Jealoussss. I want to travel too. Since I doubt I'll be able to go Japan this year, I need to find another country to travel to.

Emonight and I'm hungry.

Intellect is important

2011-04-02T17:54:00.003+08:00

My dad will be going to Brazil to play footvolley tomorrow! I.e. the car is free BUT there's not much school or any activity since exams are coming :/ Can't take advantage of the free car.

Anyways, xy's bday later and going out again tomorrow for japclass in the morning (ah hmwk still not done =( )

2d1n has a new member (old news but that eps just came to spore) and the new guy's voice is so low!! And his multiplication is bad! And Capital of Malaysia is Singapore -.-""" Seunggi is still the cutest/smartest/most adorable =)

DEPRESSING

2011-04-01T14:33:00.004+08:00

I set my alarm at 2 pm coz I was supposed to call kino to make reservations for the magazine. BUT at 2 pm I was having lunch in the living room and the phone was in my room so I didn't hear it ring. It rang again at 2.15 and I immediately called kino BUT THE MAGAZINE WAS SOLD OUT. W.D.H. Like seriously wdhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. =( I haven't managed to buy any magazine for the past months. Maybe the no. of smap fans has increased since they last visited or something? OMG so annoyed =(

Edit: GGXXXX I called the other branch and they said it's fully reserved too. zomg seriously. I should start liking someone not famous or something.

Had a lot of trouble waking up this morning.

2011-04-01T11:04:00.002+08:00

Probably still half asleep now.

Yesterday was madness. Had lesson at 9 am, alarm rang at 8 am but I only woke up at 8.20 am. Took a super quick shower before rushing out. Thank God the cab didn't take too long to arrive but there was a slight traffic jam so reached class 10 mins late :/

Then took another shower in school after class to shampoo my hair since I didn't have time to wash my hair in the morning.

Lunch and then LCS all the way. Of course we talked a lot about TPL/elections in between coz that's like.. the most interesting topic at the moment. I must must watch at least 3 rallies this elections.

P came and we went to LT to draft the agreement. It took really really long coz either we couldn't agree on the phrasing or the format or like had to explain why some clauses have to be inserted and blah blah.

Left school for dinner at Marina Square and continued drafting after that. By the time we were 'done' the last train left. Was supposed to take a cab back but siew was so nice =) LOL we have to like treat him to lunch later but that's fine! So he sent us back.

When I reached home, there was a HUGE tail-less lizard at the door which refused to move :/ I hate lizards and I couldn't like scare it away coz it might move towards me. It finally moved 2 mins later.

LCS again today. Hopefully we'll be done by afternoon so my evening can be used to catch up on equity :/

Note to self:

2011-03-30T11:50:00.002+08:00

Do not ever ever drink 2 cans of diet coke at night. It will lead to major insomnia. Had a grand total of 15 mins of sleep, and by sleep I mean drifting in and out of consciousness while snoozing alarm clock 4 times.

Urgh I don't even drink soft drinks usually.

Contented

2011-03-27T22:21:00.002+08:00

I dunno why but I have Desla's booming scary voice saying "それはYESでもありNOでもある" [The answer is Yes and No] stuck in my head. And I'd randomly say it out loud too. Must be coz I miss the movie already.

Jap class is getting harder and harder! Plus I haven't handed in last week's homework :/

A new week tomorrow... Last lcs tutorial and last publiclaw lecture? Urgh i.e. exams are coming. NOOOO.

Shall sleep with my publiclaw readings tonight. Maybe the words will magically enter my brain and I'd know what the cases are talking about.

Apparently there was a pretty rainbow just now. I was taking a nap so I didn't see it :( Rainbows will always always remind me of Nino's solo 虹 [Niji = rainbow] which used to play on loop at one point and my favourite line from that song is (roughly translated) "The rainbow is pretty, but you're prettier" awwwwwww

Okay enough for tonight! Publiclaw and then sleeep.

Ganbarouu

2011-03-26T11:51:00.003+08:00

I see the Year 1s ranting about lawr and it brought back memories of those dark dark days. LOL. Wonder why they have to torture us so much.

Just got a call for today's tuition to be postponed to tomorrow =D YAY

Tahlil at night though so won't have much time to mug today :/

Shall try to be as productive as possible!

5-4-3-2-1 hadouho hassya!

2011-03-25T18:18:00.003+08:00

Watched Yamato the 2nd time today =) Still love it and still cried at all those sad parts. And yay they said it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. Hrmph the base expectation shouldn't be 'bad'. Nvm I shall just take it that they think it's good, which it is! Overall. Must admit that some parts are ridiculous. Okay only one part was ridiculous. The one where she was ejected and his flying vehicle literally caught her. Even I had to laugh at that.

MUST must finish one chapter for equity today!

Super fungry already and dinner won't be available till another hour or so.

It's friedegg! Yay

Ah and the song is stuck in my head.

Love gives, and love takes,
Yeah it'll keep you up in the middle of night
And catch you when you're falling
Love is, what love makes,
If you let it go it'll always come back,
When it hears you calling,
LOVE LIVES...

Space Battleship Yamato

2011-03-24T22:37:00.002+08:00

opened today! =) Kimura is very handsome! And the story was goood! Just that Meisa wasn't exactly a superb actress :/ Cried a lot while watching LOLLLL. And loser me (or obsessed fan me) watched alone at 12.40 pm today coz everyone else either had school or work or simply refused to watch *ahemphilipahem*. It was still fun though! And I had to secretly locate my tissue paper coz I didn't want to make it too obvious that I was tearing madly.

Anyway! Was supposed to go to bugis after that for a belated bday lunch/dinner. But the bday boy got chickenpox LOLLL. So the three of us had normal super late lunch/early dinner and took neoprints hahah the neoprint machines now are damn canggih ah! They can make your eyes look big! The last I took neoprint pictures was when I was sec 3 maybe... Super fun!

Because we were really awesome friends, we bought a getwellsoon card which was really cute! And we drove to his house to pass it to him. We had to wait for like 15 mins at least just to pass the card coz our calls were ignored -.-"

Another outing to watch Yamato tomorrow =) Okay hopefully they'll like the movie. Knowing them, they'll be criticizing it a lot then I'd have to defend Kimura :/

This is how i get bullied in school

2011-03-23T22:16:00.002+08:00
