Teachers Day in ACJC was kind of fun.
The performances were great and the video he teachers made was hilarious!
Some of us went down to support our class in the College Bowl.
I must say, all 4 of them were great!
We played in the playground in the premises.
The stupid yellow bowl thing.
Had alot of fun there too.

Went back to BBSS today <3
Met alot of ex-classmates!
Kind of felt great meeting them.
Shared my troubles ( :x ) with my friend, it felt great releasing all of them.

Finished watching Zegapain on crunchyroll today...
I loved it.
I love the ending song "Little Goodbye".
I have it on eternal loop on the media player XD.

Giang was like, "What are you printing?!"
I waited the printer to churn out the stuff...
As if there was no tomorrow.

I sure hope history doesn't repeat itself.
In many ways.

Failing Maths was a good thing.
I have more motivation to practice now.

Okay, back to studying.

Chara Fest 2007 @ KKnM

http://www.theanimehouse.com/

OMG! Chara Fest is coming! I wonder what will they be bringing in! I want more Ouran stuff! Code Geass too!

[p/s] Code Geass episode 24 and 25 is awesome.

I think 'Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie' serves great cakes and deserts.

Famous for their chocolate I think.

Went there (Paragon outlet) with my Mom yesterday...

Oh my gosh.

Their chocolate cake is goooooooood. Their strawberry one too...OMG

Plus, they all look GOOD.

Ichi Ritoru no Namida

"First Day in School" - bluenightz
(Aya Ikeuchi)

http://bluenightz.deviantart.com/

One Litre of Tears (Ichi Ritoru no Namida)

Caught this series on crunchyroll recently. Heard rave reviews of this show and I went to check it out.
And, I agree. Its great.
Its like watching Romeo x Juliet. You know the ending. Its going to be sad.
And yet, you still hope for the protagonist (Aya Ikeuchi).

Okay, a show synopsis below...

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She has been falling down often and walks strange. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

Adapted from http://blog.orgday.org/2006/01/24/1-litre-of-tears/

I cried for consecutive episodes.

I think the part where Ako stood up for her sister, Aya, was great.

My heart really crushed when her class spoke behind her back.

Like Asou-kun said, its really bad to speak behind her back

Whenever Aya says sorry for all the trouble she caused, everyone would just smile back and say, "Its alright." But they feel troubled deep down in their hearts. Such hypocrisy.

And I fell in love with K's voice. He sang the ending song for the series, "Only Human"

Heres the lyrics, and again, taken from...

http://blog.orgday.org/2006/01/24/1-litre-of-tears/#comment-19846

Only Human
Lyrics: Osanai Mai Music: Matsuo Kiyoshi, Tanaka Choku

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru toiu yo

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru to iu yo
Tadori tsuku sono saki ni wa
Nani ga bokura wo matteru?

Nigeru tame ja naku yume ou tame ni
Tabi ni deta hazusa tooi natsu no ano hi

Ashita sae mieta nara tame iki mo nai kedo
Nagare ni sakarau fune no you ni
Ima wa mae he susume

Kurushimi no tsukita basho ni
Shiawase ga matsu toiu yo
Boku wa mada sagashite iru
Kisetsu hazure no himawari

Kobushi nigirishime asahi wo mateba
Akai tsume ato ni namida kirari ochiru

Kodoku ni mo nareta nara
Tsuki akari tayori ni
Hane naki tsubasa de tobi tatou
Motto mae he susume

Amagumo ga kireta nara
Nureta michi kagayaku
Yami dake ga oshiete kureru
Tsuyoi tsuyoi hikari
Tsuyoku mae he susume
Only Human
Lyrics: Osanai Mai Translation: Jonathan Wu

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
But before we can go there,
is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away
We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh
Because like a boat that opposes the stream
we have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness
something called a miracle, is waiting
Yet we are still searching
for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light
before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness
only relying on the light of the moon
We have to fly away with featherless wing
just go foward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break
the wet streets sparkling
Although it brings only darkness
A powerful, powerful light
helps push us to walk on

Sad show. I think the stuff Aya wrote in the diary struck me real hard. Like "Why did this disease choose me? I can't carry it, if its fate." and "Mom, will I be able to marry?"

This show is based on a real story. I think the publishers published her diary under the name "One Litre of Tears" (yupp).

So catch it if you can. XD

Been a long time since I blogged.
I think I got to relax once in a while.
I've got to STOP SCREWING UP MY LIFE!
I just did that yesterday, 8/8. Not good.
Screwed up, just simply screwed up.
I need to get a better screwdriver.
A better zip for my mouth.
A better painkiller for my heart.
A better anaesthetic for my brain.
I've officially lost something that I did not want to lose.
I think I'm losing myself too.
Okay, so I'm not making much sense.
Probably years down the road, when I read this post again...
I'll laugh at my stupidity, immaturity.
I'm still growing up! (Mentally)


Yesterday was full of events. FUN!


Annual Awards = Melting time
BBSS moved to the holding site, the former Millenia Institute.
That means, no air-conditioned hall.
We were MELTING under the graduant's gown.
The presentation was kind of cool. Since it was the first Annual Awards to be held in the holding site.
I saw the artist's impression of the new building.
Beautiful. SO MUCH BETTER!
I think it costs 10 over million. Not sure, but WOW.
After the ceremony, Pauline and I ran around finding our teaches and took pictures with them with my handphone camera.
We had quite a trouble finding our physics teacher. I heard he is more strict towards his students. Well, okay....
We took a picture with our PRINCIPAL! Yeah!
I think shes really a great lady.
Very amiable. Friendly. Serious even.
She ended our chat with a serious tone.
She told us about the question she got during the Biology paper at A Levels.
Some DNA mutation about horses.
...
Horses?...
._.


Anddd, I learnt from Melanie (fellow ASC-ian and ex-BBSSian) that quite a few ACJC people live around the Toh Tuck area!
Not really surprising. But yeah.
Then I followed Pauline, Vivien and Melanie to Mos Burger at West Mall.
I think I love Milk Tea alot.
AlotAlotAlotAlotAlot.
In school, I love Teh Ping.
Outside, I love Milk Tea.
They are the same!
XD
I got Iced Milk Tea at Mos Burger.
Hehehehehehe
XD


Then we walked around West Mall window shopping.
Later in the evening... The small (mini) class outing was kind of wacky. We basically did... Movie>>Stone>>Pool>>Neoprint(!!)>>Stone>>Pictures>>Macs>>Home. Basically that. Neoprints was kind of fun. Spent a longgggggggg time designing the 6 pictures. I sure hope we can get them "re-printed". And even when Rachel Lim wasn't present, we did not forget her...


Jared said the most lame stuff yesterday night on MSN,
"Life's like Jia Ni, sometimes, you fall short."Thanks Jared.
Thanks so much for reminding me. >__>
Happy Birthday Singapore!

What a melancholic feeling

"Hope" - nanami-yuki

http://nanami-yuki.deviantart.com/

Saw a great picture on DA (Deviant Art) today. By the super talented people gathered there.

The way I comprehend it is...

The ray of light as hope.

The bleak surroundings as despair.

I think...its a beautiful piece of art.

Ahhh... so many stuff has happened,

I guess this is part of growing up.

I'm going to "Erase, rewrite" my memories and emotions

Just like the song "REWRITE".

A qoute from my Dad,

"Confusion will arise, complication and understand and misunderstanding will be there. [Its] all on how oneself takes it and sees it."

Yeah. So there you have it.

Aside from depressing stuff, heres more depressing stuff.

My marks for the tests in the previous weeks were sucky.

Nothing's really staying the same.

Its normal I guess.

Nothing is forever, cherish it now, leave no regrets.

Life is not a bed of roses, but definitely more than just that.

Okay. So my CCA is starting tommorrow. I hope my new "bosses" don't murder me for anything. Oh, we are playing "Ju Hua Tai"(by Jay Chou) for ACJC's Open House. I wonder how it will sound like.

I just realised how fun Odin Sphere is.

Although I sucked at controlling Gwendolyn, I felt that Cornelius (The Pooka Prince) and now Mercedes is SO MUCH easier to control.

The Pooka Prince attacks much faster.

Mercedes is kind of easy to control too. Seeing her Phozon special "Piercing Shot" does tons of damage.

Okay, I must thank my brother for completing Gwendolyn's chapter. So I could advance (LOL?)

I love the game. I get to fight the same bosses and OWN every one of them.

Its more emphasis on "smart" fighting rather than smashing the square button to attack.

The way the story is portrayed is somewhat similar to Suikoden III.

Multiple point-of-views (POVs). Just that Suikoden III has 3, Odin Sphere has 5.

And they all converge at one point of time.

Odin Sphere is rather interesting. Mixing politics and romance I think.

It has rather "sappy" romance scenes. Only at the ending of each of the stories though.

The English translation isn't that bad either.

Luckily they enabled Japanese voiceovers...happiness!

I love Ingway's and Oswald's seiyuus (voice actors)!

Okay pardon me if you DON'T understand what rubbish I'm typing. =))

Code Geass finally has the last 2 episodes (24 & 25) aired.

YES! I wonder how it will end.

But I'm sure it won't be pretty for Lelouch.

Just like in Death Note, Light is punished in the end.

Oh well.

Sayonara evil villian.

Yes, Light and Lelouch always have been villians. IMHO though.

Cold cold cold cold!
Whats wrong with the weather?! It has been pouring since the start of the week!
I came down with the flu too =(
Really freaky. Its not even the monsoon season.
o_o

School's been rather so-so.
I screwed up quite a few stuff...
GP Package Test, Biology Skill B1 SPA, Chinese test...
AHHHH!
This week is bad. Really bad.

I still dont know the many " jiaNi's " that fill the tagboard.

[Edit, 28/7] Changed tagboard. I hope it won't be filled with impersonators.

Saw a great picture on DeviantArt yesterday.
Just had to share it...

Its "Falling" by Nanami_yuki on DeviantArt
Check her out at http://nanami-yuki.deviantart.com/

I think it describes how I'm feeling right now.
Falling.

So Long, Mr. Despair:Negative:by ~OtakuSpy

Watched "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" (So long, Despair Teacher).
Its so freaking funny and weird.
Especially the part about Itoshiki-sensei's stalker student.
She wanted to know everything about her current boyfriend.
Its simply scary. Like obession.
Yeah. O-B-E-S-S-I-O-N.
Its also rather scary that his other student, Kafuka, is so freaking positive!
Hikkikomori girl = Zashiki warashi (House spirit)
Crazy Stalker Girl = Girl expressing intense love


Watched Gintama 34.
Episode about Shinpachi and his first date with a girl.
A girl with Neko mimi (Cat ears)
Which turns on any guy. >__>
What about Otsuu-chan?!
There's this part when Shinpachi goes onto the Samurai chat channel and asks whether he should or shouldn't go for the date...
Although it wasn't exactly Gintoki saying it but I felt it made sense.
Maybe I shouldn't be so scared about being hurt.
Again, Gin-san made me understand some stuff.


Okay. So today is the release of the seventh, final volume of the Harry Potter series.
Yeah. I finished reading it, already.
Sat down to read at 12noon. Just finished it.
Well, I'm not going to spoil the story.
But yeah. It was okay.
Typical.
Maybe now I can do my work or something.
So much for using Harry as an excuse for not doing my work.


Yeah. A total LOL to the class magazine.
"Silence is not golden. Gossip is platinum!"
Umm...do we have so many scandals to speak of? :X


Oh yes. Impersonating people on tagboards is irritating.
Stop it.





What Gintama Character Are You?


Hosted by theOtaku.com: Anime. Done right.


"Did you mean it, when you said it?"

I got the shock of my life today,
RACHEL! How could you!?
My heart shatters.... X)

The tagboard is full of nefta(s),
but all are 'contributed' by different people.

=/
I guess the name "nefta" is rather popular
XDD

Oh wow. Maths tuition was cold today.
I guess my teacher and I weren't in the mood to do maths.

Watched Nodame Cantabile today.
I must say Nodame is really a free-spirited girl.
Moja Moja suite wasn't that bad!
Plus, I think she helped the Oboe guy play better.
Much better.

Mozart in PINK!

Sometimes I wish I was more like Tamaki-senpai.
Or maybe more like Haruhi-san.
Oblivious to it.
So that I wouldn't have to think so much.
Just moving straight forward.
Not thinking about other stuff.
Yet...

I hate being free.
I hate being tired.
Cause always I tend to think too much.
Let me immerse myself in work.
So that I may lose myself.

Thats emo. Oh well.

Term exams are over. Its like almost 1 week ago.
I just hope that I don't fail anything, but I don't mind going for extra lessons on Wednesdays, especially Wednesday?
Okay, so I'm superbly jealous that some of my friends can play Granado Espada and I can't cause my desktop is rotting and the my laptop is not mine. The only consolation is that MMORPGs subsequently gets boring and it has been proven true.
But! Starcraft 2 is coming out next year and I so want to try it out! Definitely I can't play it on the hunk of metal that runs on Windows 98SE?!
Read reviews on Starcraft too... some say its similar to Starcraft and not much modifications
But I look forward to the custom BNET maps... Aeon of Strife started from Starcraft too!
Hah, not to forget, I finished .hack//G.U. 3! The japanese version though. Maybe because I can't 100% fully understand Japanese, I felt that it was lacking something...
Was the final boss too easy? But I absolutely adore Haseo's Xth form and Skeith's new form. Its just so cool. Not to mention, there were quite a few new additions in which I couldn't figure out. I guess I will have to wait for .hack//G.U. Redemption to come out!
Harvey Norman sells a motherboard for $999... I'm cash-strapped.
I think I have to wait for a few years before I can get a spanking new motherboard. Till then, I'm with my dad's laptop. I'm not complaining! I just hope my rotting desktop can work till then.

I think I'm running low on karma or something. Lots of bad stuff has happened to my family and me. I really question myself sometimes...
Haha, which makes me think of a question Rachel(L) asked during lecture, "Why is everyone breaking up now?"
And I said, "Cause the bell just rang..."
L.O.L.?

Oh yes. Szeching's birthday was on Friday! Happy 18th birthday gal!
