6 days in boracay

wish i had more time. its only been about 24 hours since i came back, and im going to have to go off for camp tomorrow morning alr. ok la no complains, since its going to be fun, but i miss my idle days haha. i guess i can only finish code geass after orientation is over lol. but ya i had to squeeze in this post before the camp cos im scared i'll forget haha.

anyway, phillipines was actually really fun, cos it was really free and easy. we had abit too much time though, so the activities were spread throughout all five days, but it was pretty relaxing. so the first day was kind of just exploring the island.

the sand here is really white and fine. and some parts of the beach there's actually algae :0, but apparently it helps to keep the sand white. we went to like the same place everyday. d'mall, d'mall, cos everything was there. occasionally went to the wet market at talipapa to eat, where u just buy the fish and veg direct, but otherwise we always go to d'mall lol.

second day was a trip to ariel's point. we kinda spent almost the whole day haha, even though there was not that much to do there actually. had a really good sleep cos the trip started at like 11 am, so yea free and easy is amazing :D.

anyway, took a boat there. the place was essentially a cliff la, just that they built different diving points. 3m, 4m, 5m, 8m, and 15m for the suicidal people lol. there were lots of caucasians there, and they kinda livened up the atmosphere, so at first everyone was cheering for the brave souls who jumped first, and the hesitant people who managed to get the courage to jump.

it was pretty darn hot though, so that was like one of the main reasons why i jumped haha. of cos i started with 3m la. i tot it'll be no kick haha, cos its like jetty jump, plus its supposedly better than pool cos u can't see the bottom, so it doesn't look so deep. but when i jumped, the last part was actually quite fast, so i came out shivering. pretty scary actually lol, even though it lasted like less than 1 sec.

after that, ppl got bored of diving, so we ate, then went to snorkel, though there wasn't much to see there except like dozens of sea urchins. damn there were so many lol. also did kayaking for about 1 hour, and it was much, much more relaxing than the one at OBS haha. or maybe my sister's just buff lol.

third day we tried helmet diving and snorkelling. snorkelling wasn't much here, cos there was a typhoon two years ago, so alot of dead corals. helmet diving was really interesting though. basically its a heavy helmet, and they pump air inside to balance the weight, and then u slowly climb the ladder down the boat and stand on the sea bed, which was about 10-15 meters deep.

the pressure built up damn fast though lol. every step down, had to open my mouth to get rid of the pressure. it was pretty scary at first haha. there were alot of fishes,  and most of the time we were made to pose for photos haha, like sitting on the coral, lying on the floor. there was one part where we were supposed to lift our helmets up over our head, but surprisingly, managed to keep my eyes open for the photo lol. so yea it was pretty interesting.

after that we went to some mountain track, where each of us drove mini atv's. din't go very fast la, but there were things to see on the way, mainly their village. at the top, there was an observation point, and the view is pretty amazing. it was really shuang up there, cos the wind was godly. its like the kind of wind u get on an open-air speedboat, except u don't have to move. and it just kept blowing. i think we just stood up there for 15 minutes enjoying the wind haha.

also ate good food that day. actually everyday we ate good food la. spent the most pesos there on meals, but there isn't much to say, except they make brinjals here taste really good haha.

fourth day was the best, cos there was jet-skis. they were amazing fun haha. the first round, there was one of them to teach us how to use it, and he went holy fast lol. me and my sis were like freaking out cos the whole thing just kept jumping and water sprayed like non-stop.

it was fun driving it ourselves though haha. i just hecked that the jet-ski kept swaying left and right, so just charged straight, so we just ended up shouting all the way haha. i kinda overshot lol, cos couldn't see the yellow flags that marked the point. i realise its hard to describe how it feels like, except its damn freakin fun :D

after that was the boat ski trip to crocodile island, which really looks like a crocodile on the horizon. the waves were like sea-sized huge that day though, so as much as we wanted to go there, as we approached the island, it got kinda scary, so we just went round the main island instead. the people here are pretty pro at driving, managing to tank those kind of waves with a small boat-ski. but sometimes they'll just charge forward, so it was pretty thrilling haha.

kinda slacked the rest of the day off lol. took the tricycle like thing, which is like a cross between a trishaw and a motorcycle, but i guess i can't really show much without pictures cos my sis haven't uploaded them. went to watch the sunset haha. we were just using my sis' compact, cos the dslr battery was crappy and dead. so couldn't use the polarizing filter.

and then i got an idea to makeshift a polarizing filter with our sunglasses. lol using physics XD. my sis was like so amazed when i turned the sunglass and the sun became as bright as the moon haha. we kinda spent like 30 minutes playing with trying to take the sunset through the sunglasses lol. was pretty fun and retarded :P

fifth day was christmas eve, tried to do parasailing in the morning, though i was pretty hesistant about it lol. and just the boat trip there was freaking me out already cos the waves were so big lol. i couldn't even look away or get myself to drink water. but it kinda rained halfway while my parents were up they had to come down immediately. i dunno whether im lucky or not lucky that i missed my chance haha.

so ended up spending the afternoon walking around and buying souvenirs and stuff. then we just burnt our time just swimming, cos it was damn hot lol. walked all the way to the nicer part of the beach, where there was no algae.

the waves were medium sized, so it was darn fun actually haha. just waited there and tried to run and intercept the big waves, and doing all sorts of random stuff like trying to jump over them haha. too bad we din't get any frisbee or board to play with, but it was pretty simple and fun all by itself.

ate a really nice meal that day too, some italian restaurant for lunch, and some seaside restaurant for dinner. the celebrations here take place on christmas day itself though, so we din't have much to do, but the streets were still pretty crowded with tourists. in the end din't really do much, and ended up watching tv while waiting for christmas haha.

then halfway, we heard fireworks from the room. was being fired from one of the boats, so it was pretty close and it was damn big and pretty :D. plus the big once had like secondary explosions. wonder how much it cost for them to do that haha. but that kinda compensates for our not so eventful day at least :D.

last day was spent travelling, and was dying of boredom cos it was so long. and its funny how i've finally got myself to dive, to take the jet-ski, to find the boat ski rushing over the waves thrilling, but im still scared of turbulences lol. but after all the crappy travelling, it felt really good to come back. i guess i was pretty happy, even though i did nothing for christmas haha.

ok la that's bout it liao, need to wake up at 5.50 tmr for the camp lol. set two alarms liao, but im still pretty worried i can't wake up tomorrow >.<. k la really need to sleep now bye ~~

there's so much joy all around the world, just that its easy to overlook it

mini christmas baking party :D

going to leave for phillipines soon, and i guess i can't really go without saying goodbye first lol. anyway, will be gone all the way till 26. another christmas spent overseas. at least i kinda had a mini celebration on monday, so yea :D

monday was pretty fun haha. though i kinda did nothing lol, cos i don't know my house well enough. oh well, first time baking haha. crack egg failll. thankfully there's chef ang (not me la) and the rest to cover for me. so altogether we made two gingerbread houses, some cookies, chicken burritos and rosti for dinner.

chef ang at work


holding back tears haha


the gingerbread house was quite random lol, cos in the end, nicole and andreea din't really plan and just impromptu-ly built two seperate houses, then combined them with slopes, and put alot of gummy bears and mnm's on top. i din't realise it'll be such a kiddy thing to do lol, but it turned out pretty good. they even made some gummy bear cascade, just to use up all the bears haha.

had to slowly stick one by one


but at the end turned out like this :D


i also kinda made one really small one haha. had to cut mine with a knife to shape the pieces though, and i cracked like countless biscuits, so i ended up eating half of the biscuits i used... anyway, the gingerbread houses are still in my fridge, since they all decided to just leave it there -.-. so my mum says might as well eat that for christmas. we're all going to die for diabetes :0

anyway, after all the cookie baking and cooking, and completely destroying the kitchen, we played the 'i have never' game again, which for some reason, doesn't seem to get old haha. this game is full of personal attacks though lol, so as usual, pin died very quickly :P.

we (sneakily) had to test our ARP too, but we were like heck, cos the games were too fun, so we just played all the way till 9:30. anyway, the game was to decide the order of drawing for the gift exchange, but in the end it din't matter cos we decided to make it random anyway. got some small pack of cards. and random stuff. and my bear in a box went to daryl haha. it was kinda girl-ish lol, but i din't know that daryl likes cute stuff.

ok la i'd like to write more, but i kinda procrastinated, plus im flying off in 4 hours, and i need to do something else. and since they all just came back, im probably going to miss whatever outing the rest of them might plan D:. ok la phillipines. i might even go visit my maid haha :D. ok la gtg now bye~~

im lucky i have ppl to back me up whenever im unable to do anything useful

slice of life

been watching so many slice of life animes recently haha. yea haven't blogged in awhile. its quite late now, but suddenly i feel like ranting about anime. ya being random.

so yea, im not dead yet lol. has been two days already. not really on my own haha. yesterday i had my second sis to help me, and today my eldest sis happen to have sore throat and was at home, so i kinda actually did nothing lol. heh i guess im lucky.

today, my eldest sis and my mum were making dinner at like 6:30, since i napped all the way from 4 lol. was quite chaotic, my mum cooks differently from my aunt, plus my eldest sis was quite lol, but of cos better than me la. kept 'arguing' lol, like how big the fire was, or how i cut my mushrooms haha. but fun la, even though i din't really do anything. so everyone kinda ate dinner together.

anyway, dunno what's been with my addiction to slice of life animes, but i've been watching like nichijou, little busters, and ore no imouto. oh and i super like ore no imouto. maybe im just making a big deal about it lol, but i think its damn good la lol. its like, the epic scenes just pop out of nowhere, and then the story is not bad too. its darn entertaining haha. im like trying to cut myself to one episode a day, so that it'll last longer, cos like after every episode i get high. the songs are nice too.

also every episode has a different ed la, just like inuboku lol. i wonder how they put so much effort into making this haha.

i guess im really an op freak lol. i don't know why i like them so much haha. i think its the lyrics too. maybe its cos i just get excited whenever i see the jap words that i just recently learned haha. i must be weird to think the code geass ops are fine. ok yea i din't like them at first, but after awhile i was fine with them. they kinda suit it even they sound bad lol.

ok la i cut down alot on what i wanted to say (luckily). shall just put this for my own self-satisfaction lolol.

been learning jap again, ever since jap class at the cc has been cancelled. permanently. nvr knew my phone could read pdfs. haha its really damn useful sia. im starting to think android is really useful after all, cos its OS can run alot of things. so yay now i can put tae kim's grammar guide on my phone without having to use 3G :D.

its an awesome and enlightening feeling when u finally reach a section that explains something that u have been wondering about for some time. but sometimes i also fall asleep reading it lolol. and i keep forgetting after awhile. but im pretty glad i suddenly got the motivation to continue again.

anyway, managed to organise the mini-christmas outing on monday :D. phew. i tot it won't happen, cos i always had trouble getting myself to invite ppl >.<. but ok ten people in total :D. i still don't really know what to do though other than baking + gift exchange. i only got inspired cos of the meatball thing we did at boon chong's house haha, but i don't even know what to make haha.

my mum suggested cake, since my sis' friends made them last time, but that sounds kinda too pro lol. aiyo i dunno la haha, i'll just take in any suggestions and look at alot of recipes, since this is my first time >.<. anyway, since i make a huge mess all the time, whether preparing food or eating, so my sisters had me make sure that i'll have to clean up whatever mess i make lolz. but yea, looking forward to it :D

ok la its late now. gotta sleep haha. bye~~

its abit too hard not to blab about things u want to say even though not everyone would be interested to hear them >.<

home alone

yo its been a while since i last posted. i din't feel like i did much, but i guess i did go out abit lol. going to send my maid off tonight.

so tomorrow, it'll finally start. aha i feel really unprepared but somewhat excited at the same time lol. there's a chance that tmr my mum will just bring me out to eat. but at the same time, i kinda want to stay at home. just to see if i can actually survive alone haha.

anyway, my second sis was just discussing with me what to do from now on lol, and looks like she'll be handling most of the things now haha. laundry, cleaning. which means she can't go out so much :0. but alright, i assured her that at the very least, i'll do my own laundry and clean my room lol. and my eldest sis, aiyo dunno whether she'll do anything haha.

ok la enough about that, hasn't started yet anyway. last sunday went to the chalet at costa sands for png's birthday party. me and pin spent damn long shopping for the present, cos we suck at this lol. even took mrt to tampines just to do it. ended up it was some fusball table, which erm, im not sure whether he'll like. so we were kinda late.

was abit awkward at first, cos there were quite a lot of family members actually, and only andreea and junwei were there. they bought a 5 kg dumbbell for him lol. that was quite smart actually. anyway, the food was not bad, and the cake was nice. we spent most of the time playing bridge though lol. and drinking random drinks. the soda water was yuck haha.

we left at about 9, so followed pin, cos he had to buy groceries and food for his dad. then went to his house to slack awhile before heading out to pass some stuff to jia min and see him off. its quite interesting lol, taking care of his own dad haha. at least his mum just came back today, to save him. and yep tomorrow's finally my turn to do all this things myself. -welp-

anyway, after that, we went to pass jia min his stuff, and ended up stalking him as he left haha. epic as always. saw his mum too, 'by coincidence'. yea it was fun :D. so now jookee and jiamin are both overseas... hope they're having fun. jookee's like spam tweeting even in japan lol. and ok la my turn will come soon :D. going to phillipines ~~ 

for ARP, our professor finally mentioned it la. since everything is not working anyway. its better like that, being honest. we'll just put it in our report to say that this doesn't work, and just list down everything we tried and what improvements could be made. at least we can stop pretending this works and stress out ourselves trying to make things up. its much more of a relief and an honest way out actually. 

anyway, since we don't really care for the competition, at least this way it'll be a little bit useful. its basically something like 'don't eat pufferfish or you'll die, cos we tried it'. so yea, huge relief. still need to go school tmr siannnn. one last effort, make a good prototype, finish the report. doesn't matter if nothing was really achieved. at least got learn quite abit of things and have our effort commended. phew.

but today was actually quite a fun day. drank coffee, ate ice-cream. followed boon chong's mum's car back to the bus station near his house, then taking 81 from there. much more comfortable than standing mrt, even though it was longer. talked alot of things, borderlands, orientation, learning jap. haha my day's keep getting burnt by all this travelling, but its quite fun actually. 

anyway, my maid is going already, and i still haven't really corrected my waking up time :/. always fall back asleep after hearing my 9 o'clock alarm, and end up waking up at 10... at least got slight improvement la, no later than 12 now lol. so challenge: wake up at 6:30 tomorrow. lol im challenging with my mum to see who wakes up first haha. if i lose i need to pay $10 lolol

ok la this post too long liao. shall post some other time. bye ~~

it feels really good to just take things easy and enjoy everyday :D

making meatballs again :D

been awhile since i last posted. seriously, why is the holidays so fast lol? its like 7 dec alr.

today i learned two really nice dishes, though two were almost the same from yesterday. my sis likes the veg i cooked yesterday haha. so today there was more of it + dong fen or something like that. then got tempura chicken with mayo and fried fish with spring onions. its nice to learn how to make the dishes that u like :D.

anyway, went to boon chong's house on wednesday. supposed to meet up at serangoon with nicole and boon chong, but cos i was too used to just taking mrt solely for going to school, i stupidly went all the way to outram before i realised i could change at paya lebar. so from early became 6 mins late lol. why does this stuff always happen? >.<

anyway, after eating lunch, met pin, adrian and andreea at the supermarket, then went to boon chong's house. its super nice la. and super big too lol. 4 storeys. that's more than andreea's house haha. its a bit too big for me lol. at first we just wanted to sit there and slack haha.

my job was to cut onions. alot of big onions lol. which i kinda just learned how to the day before haha. i cut like crap though lol. so uneven haha. but nvm de, cos we just chucked everything into the soup. but walao i think it was like around 15 onions lol. took 1 hour just to cut them :0. yea that's the number of onions they chucked into the soup haha.

after that it was time to make the meatballs. added some crumbs at first, like from biscuits, and potato chips... lol. ended up eating while crushing them haha. but din't even taste them anyway :0. andreea mixed them again, as usual, with the raw egg and slimy meat haha. then after that, they gave me the job of making the meat balls to me and nicole. which was a pretty good bad idea.

so ended making really random stuff haha. there were snowmen, nuggets, rings, christmas trees, and gingerbread men haha. then after that there was still alot of meat left, so made the letter 'merry x'mas'. sad thing was almost everything got destroyed after frying. but nvm la make for fun de.

the 'merry x'mas' managed to survive haha, after some reassembling of certain parts that fell out. so after frying, andreea arranged it on the plate and it looks so nice haha. a bit burnt, but still :D. this kinda gives me an idea haha. gonna scrap whatever bbq i was planning and replace it to baking :D. then can make all kinds of random stuff i want haha.

after that we ate upstairs, then after that they started playing the 'i have never' game again haha. and telling stories. anticlimatic stories. like jookee's bus driver one haha. and andreea told 'ghost stories'. and then talked about alot of random stuff too, until ten. i went to follow pin and nicole to pasir ris, and reached home at like 12, and simply crashed

anyway, today, me and my mum went out to eat, and looked around for gifts to buy too, since my mum needed to buy a gift for her party for gift exchange. there was this display at tampines mall, with a lot of nice christmas things that makes u feel happy. feel like buying this kind of gifts, because i know if i get one i'll be like :D :D :D. so yea, today was like one of the few times i actually enjoy shopping haha, other than the 'supply runs' our cluster used to have.

we ended up buying a christmas tree :D. so yayyyyy lol. its like the first time in years since we celebrated christmas properly haha. of course there's no santa claus and stuff like that haha, but the christmas tree is so pretty :D. some parts have like optical fiber filaments that keep changing colour. so nice :D :D.

this really makes me feel like organising some mini-christmas party now haha. seriously, this is like the first time im actually celebrating christmas properly lol. my mum also asked me whether i wanted to host a mini-christmas party.

maybe i shud fix a date. like next friday, eat lunch, look around at gift stores, bake christmas cookies and eat roasted turkey chicken. since so matter ppl prolly can't make it, i'll just try to invite ppl i know who are free ba.

haven't been watching much anime lately, but anyway, really like this OP :D

ok nothing to say liao. bye~~

some people really have amazing determination

first course

yo its been a long time since i last posted. and damn its kinda fast that its already tuesday. maybe cos i've been doing something that wastes too much of my time lol.

anyway, today, i finally made dinner :D. nah not really i was supervised plus half of the stuff were prepared or done for me cos its my first time seeing it. nevertheless, i saw a lot of things today... so now i know where all the pots and utensils are put. where the food is kept, the utensils, the clothes, etc.

and now i know the portion of each person, so today's dinner i finally ate my fair share of food lol. i ate enough fish for once, together with the bell peppers and stuff, so that they won't go uneaten. wow its really alot of stuff i realised today lol.

shan't go into the details, but basically, its fried chicken, fried fish with bell peppers and sauce, and sambal beans. well kinda, i don't exactly know what's the names of all the veg in the fridge lol. but that dish is kinda one of my favourites, so yay :D. before i saw my maid cut it, i din't even recognise it lol. see i don't even know what im eating haha.

frying was somewhat tricky though. but other than the danger of getting scalded, most of the time the wok is closed so its just waiting and making other preparations for other stuff. but still, its kinda dangerous lol. there are like a lot of different ways for me to get burnt. never dry wok add oil, never lower fire add in food with water content, accidentally touch the wok cover, drop food into oil too suddenly etc, etc. so maybe when my maid comes back my hand will be covered with burns haha.

there really was alot of different things to take note of, like where all the stuff were or what to prepare, but i think i said enough liao ba. so all this is like preparation for like the 7+ days where my maid would be away and im not going out or anything. but knowing myself, i'll probably give up halfway lol. i'll be quite proud already if i could prepare my own lunch that is not always instant noodles, though i eat that quite often :P. unhealthy, unhealthy...

but let's say, let's just say it works, so im gonna make learn like three different courses of dinner, then repeat them every three days. that's pretty far fetched but yea, so cool :D. im not going to do the other housework though lolol. but if i can handle dinner for everyone that'll be pretty cool :D

anyway, last sunday, went to kampong chai chee cc. was supposed to go early to like talk to the teacher since i haven't registered yet and i still don't know their level of jap. thing was i slept really late, so my parents left for gym without waking me, and i remember my maid woke me, but i fell back asleep till like almost 10 D:

so what followed was a mad rush to bedok. turned out the cc was definitely NOT 25m away from the station lol. i ask which stop to get off from the bus driver, but he told me one stop after bedok station when actually, its through the underpass at bedok station. and like a 500m walk at least. so i took 30 mins to get there D:. was like 11:05 when i reached the cc, and i was swearing at myself all the way lol.

still had to wait at the office at the cc, and the ppl kinda ignored me until 11:30. ok la not really la. there wasn't a queue, but ppl who came in seem to get attended to first, but prolly cos they already talked to the admin already ba. but damn i was quite frustrated during that time. now i see reason lol.

so the anticlimatic thing was the teacher wasn't there for that day. maybe the previous week, where the first lesson started, the ppl were informed, but i din't go, so i wouldn't have known. anyway, i dunno whether to laugh it off or not, but i know one thing. don't sleep late on saturday night haha. there problem solved :D.

ok la this post has been extremely wordy haha. recently started watching nichijou. first episode is abit overdone, but its epic funny haha. thinking of continuing running man too, cos i stumbled on a episode on tv, and it got me to like it again haha. so yea, looks like i won't be trying out final fantasy this hols. plus next week, really, really need to wake up at like nine latest. slowly trying to correct my waking time haha.

ok la nothing else to say already. actually still got, but shall save it for another time lol. going to boon chong's house tomorrow. i think sleepover's cancelled, but still :D. ok bye ~~

im myself. no need to feel too ashamed about it :D

dantalian no shoka

going to die after 13 dec lol. cos my maid's gonna go home for awhile. hostel life's supposed to help me with that lol, but after the first month, i couldn't be bothered to make my bed anymore /o\. anyway this means i kinda have two more weeks to learn how to cook my own meals, and stuff. plus my parents like want me to cook simple dinner meals. tskkk i can't lolll.

anyway, i just finished dantalian no shoka. it din't really have a central plot, somewhat like jinrui, then just slowly reveal what happened in the past. the ending was really nice. but now im like 'its over, i have nothing to watch again D:'. anyway, i liked the OP alot. hope someday i can play it lol.

i could probably rant about alot of other stuff too, but i shan't share them ba, cos it'll just bore ppl. so anyway, in this week, i've tried a few other things, like cooking (failed), drawing (ririchiyo :D), playing piano (finally managed to get myself to play it without feeling paiseh :D). ok la this really isn't anything much actually, but its fun.

but as much as im trying out a lot of new stuff, im completely neglecting my health here lol. i wake up too late, and i don't exercise. social life dying too. i see that everyone seems to be doing different things, so im somewhat interested, but i can't get myself to talk lol. maybe i shud continue 'How to SMS ppl 101' from jm lol.

gonna take jap classes on sunday morning. feeling pretty excited about it :D. actually its not confirmed yet, but i assume is can la lol. i guess like that's one of the only useful things i'll be doing this holidays haha. my cousin's mum is offering me to stay at their house again haha. maybe i shall do that, for old times sake :D. ok la nth else le. bye~~

trying to take everything lightly, but wondering whether that is the right thing to do.

aunt's birthday

started alot of different animes recently. yesterday i just tried out 4 or 5 new animes. i know what im is good, but the first few episodes din't give me much impression. so i felt quite sian yesterday, cos nothing really hooked me. but good animes always take quite awhile for the story to form, and starting to like a few.

anyway, today was my maid's birthday. i kinda forgot actually, and at first i wasn't really thoughtful. as in i know its a special day, but it just doesn't occur to me what things i should do, like i din't think about doing something until much later. i was kinda the only one who knew in my family la, but i forgot to like sms my mum to prepare something. so yea it was quite late before my mum actually got me to do something.

i was quite happy with what i did haha. i think it made my auntie (that's what i call my maid) quite happy. and my mum was like 'not bad ah, still can do this sort of thing'. actually it felt pretty embarrassing lol. plus i only like helped, its not like i did the whole thing myself. im not very good at doing this sort of things. always need someone to like tell me what to do or help me, or else i'll end up thinking about it but not doing it.

anyway, i also kinda tried out playing steins gate op and other songs, but couldn't really do it. i mean i could play left, i could play right, but when i put both together i just kept stumbling my way. but damn its hard. and short fingers make octave a pain >.<. so i dunno whether i'll give up halfway, though at the same time i kinda really want to be able to play certain songs.

k la its epic late now, so shall post bout some things another time. bye~~

im finally content, cos i just realised that what i have been doing all along is already part of what i needed to do

mirai gadget 1 :D

hoho. finally, its finished (after so darn long). nah its not a future gadget, its just our prototype lol. went to remake one (actually it was boon chong who did everything since i reached late), and by some coincidence, since boon chong left a gap in the case, we could slot in a make-shift hook. haha boon chong's a genius lol. good job.

so im testing it now. its like sitting on top of my comp now, and if it really works, i'll probably fall asleep before i finish this post... nah i'll probably won't. but im really tired now, cos i slept so late yesterday >.<. couldn't stop reading animenzz's blog haha.

after that we walked all the way to that shop close to dover mrt where we used to go to buy the stuff for the projectile launcher project, loooong time ago. there was also zhi-en, tze how, gabriel, and yos. just that the guy there kinda screwed up the metal bending (cos he's not a metal bender), but he said no guarantees anyway. after that we kinda split 2 large pizzas among the six of us, which was about $6. ex... but nice lol.

lol i wanted to post about something else today, but the green light is kinda giving me a headache lol. gonna rest a while. meanwhile, i stumbled on this:

anyway, i shall either post about it later or tmr. kk bye~~

break the ice again

jap classes

just watched finish episode 22. the anime could have ended here, cos it's really quite a sad but good ending. 23 and 24 is probably an alternate ending, actually not exactly alternate ba. i shall keep myself in suspense... for a while at least.

yesterday was my grandma's birthday, so went out to some restaurant to eat. haven't been so excited for quite a while, dunno why also. they talked about PSLE scores. my cousin got 257, which is like same as mine if i din't take higher chinese lol, but quite unfortunate cos no dsa, plus he dragon year born on the millenium year. ouch. probably super competitive la his year.

my cousin's voice is so much deeper than before now. all growing up liao haha. my sis feels that so fast then he PSLE over le. ikr, the feeling of being old haha.

my cousin's two year younger sister (which effectively is my cousin too) is starting to become really cheeky, and she ate with the black sauce at the side of her mouth, but somehow, everyone just smiles at her. haha its pretty... cute lol. its quite creepy though. so this was what all the adults thought when u were ten haha.

anyway, they served some sort of fruit-flavoured beer, like lychee flavoured or pineapple flavoured. it kinda tastes like chandy, just a little bit stronger. when i first wanted to try it, they were like so excited lol. and they poured so much for me sia. plus they kept saying 喝多一点, with that kind of expression. was quite funny haha.

but aha they probably din't know i drank some chandy in hostel. so i saw it was like 2.8%, aiya no kick la. so that's what i said, but my face was slightly red according to my mum, and i was like damn tired when the meal was over though. but wasn't enough to knock me out, plus the tiring effects kinda wore out after awhile. still, waa i can't hold my alchohol for nuts haha.

today, i kinda impromptu-ly registered for a japanese course. wow i never actually thought i would do it. also, i should have done it one day ago, cos it started today -.-. i did check yesterday, but my searching skills sucked lol. dunno how to use the PA community centre website properly.

ok la still haven't confirmed, cos when i called, the receptionist was like i need to talk with the teacher next week to see if i can take the course, cos its kinda a follow-up on previous courses, even though its intermediate japanese.

still, im pretty excited haha. it'll be great if i can reach N4 level by the end of this year :D. then i can start understanding all the song lyrics, and watch anime without lyrics? nah that's still pretty far away...

ok la nothing else to say liao. i know i use this blog to rant alot on things, because this is kinda like me talking to someone after a whole day of not talking to anyone. ok bye~~

there might not be anyone on the other side anymore, but would it continue?

just a bit lonely

being at home means i can do anything i want for the whole day. when im at home, i end up trying out and doing more stuff that i want to do, because i won't be embarrassed as there's no one to see what im doing. i feel like i have more time to do stuff i want. but then after a while, it gets really lonely cos there's no one to talk to.

i think im finally starting to miss hostel already. towards the end, the days seemed to pass so fast, cos we kept doing the same thing over and over again. sleep late, wake up late, eat lunch, do arp for the day, play borderlands, watch anime, go crash other clusters, play board games. it was boring after awhile. kinda. but it wasn't lonely, cos there's always laughter and talking somewhere.

i guess all this is cos i don't have any younger siblings to play with, and im too free, to always be staying at home like this.

yesterday's orientation briefing lasted way longer than expected. the plot is quite epic, though there was a huge loophole yesterday we took damn long, until galen finally solved it. still kinda weird, but yea if it goes well, its quite epic. i was abit overexcited yesterday, so even the juniors commented on how funny my face looked >.<

anyway, the juniors in our comm are rather fun to talk too. ended up digressing quite abit and talking to them about hostel life too. mainly was boon chong telling them all the stuff he did, like the time he hacked the bamboo with loo's knife :0. yep that was pretty long ago. the crazy stuff we used to do lol.

watching steins gate now. its really very good. some moments u can feel the terror the main character goes through, and some moments almost made me cry, which is quite easy, except i manage to hold it in everytime lol.

anyway, i wonder how its like for someone who doesn't watch anime to read a post about anime. they probably don't really understand what's with the obsession. i don't really know either. when someone asks me why my cluster is so jap-loving, can't really answer. just appeals to me somehow ba. i guess its hard to understand someone else's hobbies ba. like i don't know why ppl like F1, or watching soccer matches late in the night. everyone's different i guess.

been watching videos on youtube to entertain myself. and reading reviews and lyrics and stuff. it feels quite good to have somebody agree with an anime u like haha. but its not like i am bothered by negative comments anyway. im quite surprised to see that many ppl like jinrui lol. there's even a piano transcription on the OP, which i like alot, though its kinda weird lol. then again, many ppl make weird videos haha.

should try playing the piano, though i feel paiseh, dunno why. my family kinda knows i play the recorder already, cos even if i stuff a mat under the door and close all the windows, they can still hear >.<. wish i had a soundproof room at home, so i can play anything and shout and do whatever i want lol.

anyway, feel like trying this song on piano, cos there's something i really like about this song. of course not like that la, i not that pro >.<. gonna simplify it as much as i can ba. maybe its too much to try for though. haven't got down to playing piano yet cos of some weird awkwardness i feel. but at least this song is playable on a recorder too haha.

ok been ranting too much liao. i know i don't use my blog like normal ppl lol. kk bye~~

its been so long, but i still don't know anything much yet

cooking my own lunch

feels like a really long time since school ended. its only wednesday of the first week. maybe its cos im suddenly finishing so many anime, and i keep napping and stuff, like at really weird times. monday i napped from 8pm - 12pm, just to give u and idea lol. and usually i dream, so it feels like a legit proper sleep when actually its not. so it seems like a really long time since i have done other things.

i guess im feeling tired of doing the same thing for so long. and learning jap, sometimes i keep wanting to read more, but sometimes its like reading a chinese textbook. tskkk lol. can't wait for my jap to improve so that i can finally read my LisAni magazine...

also, i think im suffering from game withdrawal a little bit haha. haven't touched any game since sunday, which is pretty rare for me lol. so there's nothing to really get me excited, but i actually managed to refrain myself from playing heh. im quite surprised that im still playing the recorder haha, and it actually energizes me abit when im tired lol. maybe im just bored and want to do something different.

anyway, my mum wants me to cook my own lunch from now, cos next year, if my maid's contract isn't renewed, i have to do just that during the holidays. at least now i got guide la haha. been two days already. today was fried rice, and wow it was simple lol, but yet i felt some sense of achievement haha. yea i feel satisfied too easily lol.

ok la i din't exactly do everything, cos the ingredients were all prepared by my maid already, but all i had to do was add a little oil, whack the garlic to smash it, add it in together with some ikan bilis and wait till they were brown. crack an egg, add in frozen veg, put in some brown rice, then just keep stirring i guess. wow sounds easy. wait till i do it on my own >.<.

hey but not bad i have a little bit of interest in cooking haha. maybe by the end of this hols i can actually cook my own meals :D. why do i sound so impressed :0.

anyway, i finished inu x boku today. wow there's something about this anime that seems genuinely touching. gah i think its just ririchiyo haha. once the plot was revealed in the last two episodes, it was really simple but yet quite nice. plus some scenes were really beautiful. gah im being won over by the anime >.<. at least its not tsundere, which is overly cliche and common (but still works)

ririchiyo.











but ya when i said its odd, i really mean its odd lol. and some episodes had too much fanservice >.<, that kinda spoiled it a bit. but its nothing compared to oniiai or shinsekai yori, which i din't watch (yay).

went to rewatch hidan no aria too. i mean the parts where i skimmed through, and i realised its actually quite exciting le. gah, this just proves i end up liking every anime i watch. not exactly a bad thing, but like that i'll end up having to watch everything >.<. started on steins gate today though, and that one is a legit, good anime.

anyway, tmr finally need go sch liao, since got orientation meeting, and we might as well do our ARP so that don't need go back on friday. pin's still at the prom, and the stuff is still with him, plus he has a flight for malaysia at 8 am tmr :0. so wow. i guess i have a excuse to stay up late today lol.

my mum's wanting me to do something else so much lol. so now i have two free tickets to a movie, though i don't exactly know what to watch. and my dad just passed me a cd for skyfall. hmmm.... maybe he knows a thing or two about torrenting lol.

ok la this post has been really random. nothing much to say liao. bye~~

ppl cannot become closer without risking hurting each other first

another day at home

woke up really early today, at about 6:20 am. supposed to go for ARP, but suddenly, pin said i no need go liao cos his father no time to drop over to pick me. but it kind of feels good to wake up so early anyway.

its been ages since i ate breakfast together with my parents. my mum overheard me playing recorder and she was like 'why not go sign up for some music course, or go learn how speak jap over the holidays?'. i was like lol for the music, cos i'll probably just end up wasting money.

but then taking jap classes over the holidays seems to make sense. haven't thought about it before. there's only so much i could reach by myself, so i kinda went to check out the proficiency level vocabulary lists. thought i could try taking preparation for N3 courses, but then i realised im like way below that level.

the N4 list looks quite okay though. no, actually its quite hard... i know all the verbs cos i kinda drilled them in already, so the N4 verbs looks rather ordinary to me, but then my verbs and the other stuff are all probably still in the N5 level, so i'll need to properly study to actually pass this.

need to commit though, if i actually take a course, its at least 10 weeks from now. hmmm i dunno if i should. i think it'll help me hit N3 before SEP, which is really ideal, but.... im lazy. there, i said it. i guess if i really want to, i should, since next year is kinda free, right?

anyway, kinda spent most of today watching inu x boku lol. the first episode seemed pretty good, but then after that all the other characters turned out to be so screwed up lol. but for some reason its so ridiculous that its actually entertaining and somewhat interesting too.

think the plot is not bad though, its a girl who cannot control herself from saying harsh things even though she doesn't really mean it. then she gets paired up with a butler who like worships her and wants to do everything for her, and ya alot of stuff happens. it has alot of references to ayakashi, which are japanese demons. but gah its really screwed up lol. left with two episodes. seems like something big is gonna happen. ya i kinda learned not to judge an anime until i finished it lol.

also, finally watched spirited away. im so deprived lol. the first part seemed kinda familiar though, maybe i did watch part of it before. the characters are really weird, but its a pretty nice story.

k la so it kinda seems im enjoying myself here watching anime the whole day. i am, actually. but my life is pretty sad, its just me watching anime and blogging about it tskkk. kinda want to go out too. have always wanted to host a sleepover again, but i just can't bring myself to invite ppl tskkk. well at least i said it haha. i really don't mind anything in fact, just that i feel to paiseh to ask anyone. see how la.

ok la, maybe i should go watch some of the better animes first before i watch the queerer ones. ok bye~~

things always turn out unintended, but not necessarily for the worse

crashing too much

just crashed from 8 to now lol. and what's worse is i woke up at 12. damnnn lol, im sleeping too much. need to wake up at 6:50 am tmr for arp. damn early sia D:. i wonder if all the sleep i had stacks up though, so that i don't have to sleep so soon after i wake up. kinda bored, that's why im blogging lol.

anyway, i kind of updated all the previous posts liao. nah actually its just two posts. and actually, i think i've managed to quit borderlands lolol. cos my siren character got corrupted  when my laptop abruptly shut down. got pissed at first, but why not quit, since i finished all the quests lol. so yea i saved myself two more playthroughs of time :D

this holiday feels like its gonna be short though. suddenly feel like watching so many more anime. its all AFA's doing. i finished hidan no aria and kokoro connect today lol. sounds like a lot, but actually i only watched 5 eps today la. 

din't do hidan no aria enough credit actually. there were some really harem-ish like scenes though, but the last episode was damn goooood. plus aria kinda reminds me of taiga from toradora. their voice damn similar too, maybe the seiyuu is the same?

love the OP, plus i dunno whether the song's meaning is slightly easier to grasp, or my jap unconsciously improved, but wow im understanding it :D. starting to like the ED too. ok i dunno why im encouraging ppl to watch it haha, cos i had my doubts in the first 8 episodes. but ok there's a reason why alot of ppl like it so much i guess. overrated probably, but still quite good la.

the OP looks really good though lol

this kinda makes me feel like i'm missing out on alot, cos i end up liking all the anime i watch, and there's somuch out there i'll probably never touch. but still, i think kokoro connect is the truly really good one. i think its my favourite so far, cos... can't really explain. just really good in my opinion.

i think its cos the plot moved so much in just 13 episodes. and it's extremely relatable. they throw in alot of twists that the watcher doesn't want to happen (unless u don't really care), but at the end of the arc, everything is resolved. hope i din't spoiler haha, but yea its pretty amazing lol.

anyway, enough ranting bout anime lol. and nope im not becoming a May'n fag haha. just that i think her voice is really superb heh. but maybe im an anime OP/ED fag. that sounds kinda weird /o\. but i think im obsessed with OP's and ED's. and trying to play them on my recorder lolol. i still can't believe im not bored of it yet haha.

anyway, my mum's telling me there's so much more to do, other than sitting at home and playing games. ok im not exactly playing games anymore. but that's not really a good defense either, plus walao today i seriously sleep too much le :/. 

and quite a few ppl seems to be doing some stuff during their holidays. ok la at least im participating in orientation planning, though i don't really know what to do cos i ended up as liasing with resource. dunno whether i'll end up slacking too much or not, cos all i really know how to do is add on to ppl's ideas. anyway, hope to brush up my jap by this hols too. feels somewhat improved alr, but dunno whether by next year SEP can reach conversation level.

tmr going sch, but ah, damn sian sia, now need to travel so far just to do ARP. still dunno what to do abt tmr lol, dunno whether can serve any purpose, cos we still haven't finished making a prototype yet tskkkk. how to test on ppl in time lol.

feel like doing something else after that though. but pin has convo, so dunno how. maybe i'll just stay and watch, though i don't think it'll be a very good idea to see them almost ready to go though. don't want to think abt it yet.

i guess i feel like organising another bbq/hotplate at my house, like during y4 our outings that type. my mum even asks when i'll organise one lol, so i should. i think i kinda gave up with my class liao though. i guess they sian of me asking when they free liao, plus anyway we went out so much le. haven't had a particularly big outing yet though, its all been small ones. 

but anyway, maybe shall have like whole day kick ball play badminton, then after that go slack at someone's house, sleepover play mahjong and cards whole night kind-of-outing. used to do that for y4, abit too many times, but haha it works and is fun, so aiya, i really should try to make this work lol.

ok la nth to say liao. this post too random le. bye~~

im always waiting for someone else to take the first step even though im the one who wants it the most.

won over

spent the whole afternoon watching hidan no aria lol. it was at AFA, plus the OP was May'n's scarlet ballet, so i thought it would be good, but the first two episodes made me go 'what the heck am i watching?' haha. so i decided to skim through the episodes.

but ya, i failed lol. i managed to skim through the next few episodes, but ended watching major chunks of the video, and by the fifth episode, i ended up watching the whole thing >.<. ok la its not bad, but damn, can't believe i got won over so easily just by a love triangle kind of plot, and the cool fighting scenes.

aiya, this always happens to me lol. it happens to any anime i watch, or any book i read. i always end up unable to stop lol, cos some part of it just keeps me stuck to it haha. can't be a critic lol. lucky i don't watch dramas, since i can't drop anything i started, even if its not that good lol. hey but i thought jinrui was pretty good at the end haha.

even still, it felt kinda good to watch anime, rather than spending the 4-5 hours playing borderlands lol.

my mum kinda suggested going out later at 11 to watch skyfall, since she has two free tickets for a movie. and yea its been a pretty long time since i watched a movie. but i feel like passing up the offer, cos i think it'll be quite awkward to watch skyfall with my parents due to certain content, and i was thinking like why not let her watch it with my father lol. haha i dunno why im thinking like that tskk.

ok nothing much liao ba. hope i end up doing more things at home. i think i would haha, cos no one will judge me here, though i feel too paiseh to play my recorder lol. ok bye~~

im such a fool, but i knew i couldn't help myself doing it anyway lol

last moments of hostel

i don't really know what to say. for some reason, i don't feel very upset now, but i'll definitely feel it later. this place has been so awesome to live in. wished i could stay one more week though. still have things i want to do, but i guess they're kinda forcing us to move out now :(

for me, i didn't think that time flew and one year passed without us noticing. it feel really wonderful and i know there were alot of things we did. i thank my blog so that i won't forget what i have done here, but there are still many things that i din't manage to write down. trivial, but still worth remembering.

kinda finished packing already. there was so much stuff in the drawers i forgot about, and while i was packing yesterday, i remembered stuff from one year back, or the start of the sem etc. the whiteboard that i used to write jap words on, now its a drawing with jiamin's threats on it haha. but even still, i can't bear to erase it away. maybe i shall put the photo here, once im home, for remembrance sake haha.

yesterday was kinda the last day. last day sleeping, last day eating hostel dinner (which i missed). last time cooking stuff in hostel. was really fun haha. jiamin made a vlog, which is quite a good idea actually. the first take was pretty good, it was funny, but he din't start the video. so the subsequent takes became vulgar and full of insults lol.

anyway, for dinner last night, we were making our carbonara again (though i think it would have tasted better without the cheese and cream), then halfway, ms chua brought out two plates of nuggets, one plate of meatroll, and chips. and bradley's dad made a super good brownie that was crispy on the outside. so it became a sort of mini cluster celebration haha, cos a lot of ppl came out to eat their last dinner/supper.

we took photos too haha. ya jiamin suggested it. that's like super rare lol. anyway, zhengwei scammed us lol. he was going help us take the photo with ms chua and her girls, then after that we wanted to see, but it was his face instead lol. but anyway, we took a lot of photos, with our 'gang sign', which is the v-sign that only a few of us would understand what's so funny about it lol. yea, it was fun.

kk photos are here. get ready for v-sign spammage lolol

ms chua's children so cute :D

jookee grating cheese in his mouth /o\

but there was already 1/4 of cheese grated into the pasta already, so... no choice haha.

i dunno what we're doing haha.

bradley made milkshake from the extra ice cream left after we finished the brownie

quite good le actually

zhengwei scammm

yea last photos haha

i rarely get to see jiamin so high heheh.

wow the photos are really good haha. ten years down i'll look at this and smile heh. sigh hostel is over. this is not the end though haha. i hope we still hang out next year. at the star heheh. ok nothing to say liao. bye~~

burning money

just finished watching jinrui wa suitai shimashita. this anime damn scam ok, first few episodes make u think like ur watching some retarded anime, then last few episodes so nice. luckily i stuck all the way through haha. i guess my taste wasn't so bad afterall /o\

anyway, i guess i won't be posting about last week already la. its incomplete, but all the stuff i kind of typed out already, so i'll just leave it in the log lol, for me to see some other time.

anyway, today i woke up at 8:30 am. ya very weird haha. cos i had to meet mr joseph this morning, because yesterday i stayed in 8B for too long playing board games and mahjong, and then we got caught with lights on + jap music playing + mahjong set on the floor. ouch.

he kinda walked away in a rage, and when i was going back to my cluster, he went up to me. he din't exactly scold me, but i knew i was screwed, and he asked me to meet him at 8:30 today. i din't know what the punishment was, but i thought it was going to be hourly report.

lucky thing was, he kind of apologised when i actually went down today, saying he was really angry yesterday. i kind of can't believe it, but i guess since he is trained in this sort of thing, maybe its a technique to guilt-trip me. i guess it works ba lol. not going to do any stupid things this week anymore. and yea it feels kinda good to wake up early actually haha. so i have him to thank lol.

anyway, went down at 10 for ARP, but turns out all the teachers were occupied, somehow, so we kinda sat around the 3rd floor bench to wait. saw jookee, and was wondering what he was doing. turned out they were playing some card games lol. and wong and chee said they wanted to play, but they woke up late lol. they came in the end la, of cos.

with nothing else better to do, i kinda joined. i remember signing up for it randomly. its group of 4, so it was junwei, me, daryl and fiona. i added the last two without bothering to tell them /o\. so anyway, junwei was there, so we ended up pairing with two other year 4s.

went to play contract bridge. and won all 3 games of the round robin haha. super close ok. contract bridge is much trickier than the normal kind.

it was lunch time, and so i left saying i would be back at 12:15, cos they were waiting for the next part of the tournament. but ended up voiding it cos pin, jm, boon chong and me decided to go out for lunch. went to wcp. pin and jm went to eat steak lol. burn $12 just like that.

anyway, pin, jm and boon chong wanted to go gym. i kinda din't want to, cos yes im lazy lol. orientation briefing dragged to almost 5 though, and we have quite a lot of ideas. one of the y4 girls were very good with ideas and suggestions. i kinda din't get the role i want. i mean, how can i do liasing with resource -.-. but whatever la, i guess it will work out somehow.

boon chong din't get to go gym cos it was extended, so ended up only pin and jm went. amelia suggested eating at some indian restaurant at biopolis called raj, and at first is only them and boon chong and for some reason, i din't want to go, cos i din't go gym anyway, and i have not much money left to burn.

after i woke up from my nap, suddenly everyone was going, even png (with some incentive -ahem-) and jookee. they kinda assumed i was going lol. so ended up going anyway haha. they said there would be a surprise for us. kinda predicted what it was gonna be though lol.

so anyway, when we reached there, there was like 12 ppl la. it was meant to be a small thing, but boon chong went to invite so many ppl lol. anyway, a certain someone was very impatient about going there. keep saying his hungry and all that, but we all know the true reason haha. ok that was ambiguous enough :P

shan't elaborate too much ba, since some guy is rushing me to post so he can play borderlands. and nope its not jm. anyway, the naan and the sauces were quite good. i was like a glutton though. i ate alot, and i hogged the sauce tskk >.<. its unintentional though, it just happened naturally. nah that's not a valid excuse >.<

after that jookee, me, jm and pin went to the star. new shopping mall. when we reached there we were like 'woaa'. it was an open air mall, and the design is damn cool la. can't describe, u could probably just visit there one day anyway.

anyway, at first we went to check out the stalls. there's alot of jap food stores there, and there's riccioti. oh yea ricciotiiiii. so next year maybe every month we just go there and burn money la why not haha. we also went to check out random stores for no reason.

after that, we went to shop for the big day tomorrow! last night of hostel. probably not going to sleep at all tmr lol. planning to cook our last hostel meal. pasta again. but this time we heck liao. we just went to buy loads of shit food, and then we got like lemonade, and salami, and nth better to do go buy sushi. all broke liao. but heck it, it was super fun haha.

after that, we even went to the steps there to sit there, cos it was romantic nice and comfortable. and watch the 'water show' which was just alot of mini fountains splashing. nothing better to do lol, sit there waste time haha. in the end, we came back late.

anyway, pin fell down at the last flight of stairs just before we reached the main gate, and we were gonna use that as an excuse for being late, cos his whole shirt was soaked with water from the floor. damnnnn. but in the end we din't have to use it. then after that i just camped here and finished jinrui. loved the ending haha. but i know the first two episodes will turn alot of ppl off, so nvm ba.

ok la that's about it for now. i shall post bout concert soon. hopefully. bye~~

maybe it isn't such a bad thing i missed, because i'd won't know how to face it if i didn't anyway

back from concert

ah i feel like blogging, but i came back not too long ago and im really damn tired. there's school tmr D:

anyway, i managed to enjoy the concert towards the end. at first it din't feel really good cos i din't know any song, and the sound was extremely loud, but after that when i went to the front, i saw May'n just singing in front of me and it was really awesome.

shall post about this and my unfinished post about last week soon ba. hopefully. k bye~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

kk back to edit this post. shall add some photos after ppl upload it to fb

anyway, after i went in there alone cos jookee was so busy. at first was some guy called Hachioji, who mainly was just DJ-ing up there. damn loud, plus i din't know any song, so i just sat down there while everyone stood up jumping. my legs were tired lol. but i bet i looked like someone who bought the ticket there just to waste money lol.

jookee came in halfway through Sea A's performance. he was jumping around lol. felt kind of weird to me, so i just sat there and waved my lightstick. was feeling really, really, out of place lol. ok la im not saying Sea A is bad. they really sing not bad, but lol their songs sound like they come from kid central shows haha. because they do sing such songs. like for digimon or card fight vanguard haha.

next up was minami, and wow i really liked her songs, though i knew none of them. she seems like a pretty nice person haha, or at least what i understood from what she said. cos my jap ain't that good, i only picked up something like she was shy, since its her first time performing in singapore, but she's happy to get so much support.

after that sphere came up, and the whole concert hall just screamed lol. but no it wasn't that bad actually, unlike the sphere dubbing session haha. that one was really crazy. sphere knows how to hype up the crowd lol, and ok la, don't blame them for talking like that, cos all the anime characters they dub do talk like that lol.

anyway, when they sung their first song, which was future stream, i was like really happy, cos i finally hear a song that i knew the melody too, even though i din't know the lyrics. they made it sound so much better than the mp3 version i have in my phone. i mean i thought the song was okay, but when they sung it, it sounded really good haha.

and finally i was kinda hecking the pain in my knees liao. after awhile i realised, just jump around la, occupy myself with waving the light sticks. its quite fun haha, since anyway the whole concert hall is doing it, and just enjoy myself. since i paid so much to go there lol. plus i kinda liked the order the artistes came in, cos it was like slowly hyping me up. last artiste to come up was May'n!

for once i actually went up near the stage haha. din't know her first three songs, but damn, her facial expression was super super intense. really like her songs, cos there's that sort of intensity in her voice that makes it sound really good. and she din't start hyping up the crowd. she just did her thing up there, and it was really super cool up close. i guess that's what u call stage presence.

the lighting was super nice too. up close, u can't really see, but at the display tv's at the side, it really seems super nice. i wonder how all the cameramen plan how to pan the camera and all that, cos it looks amazing haha.

she din't sing Scarlet Ballet sadly, which i think is super nice, but her last song was Chase the World, which yay i know the lyrics too. quite sure a lot of ppl loved it haha. couldn't hear myself lol, and i was sure i was singing like crap, but ah heck la, it was really fun, waving the light sticks along with the crowd, hearing them sing too /o\. plus when she looked at our direction, we just wave the light sticks. could even see my light sticks move on the display tv at the side haha lol.

so yea ended really highly haha. the crowd was shouting for encore, and it did work last year, but this year it din't haha. anyway, we had to rush back to school anyway lol.

so i don't think i'll be doing this next year haha, cos it's really expensive, but wow quite fun heheh. first time going to a concert ma.

ok la nth to say le. bye ^^

AFA day 1 :D

im in pin's house now. yup, brought my stuff here, cos tmr going to stay real late at expo, so we're going back direct to hostel with our stuff brought there already by pin. my mum kind of doesn't want me to be here. actually more than that, din't explain properly what i was doing, but gah im not going to do anything bad.

anyway, this morning reached expo at abt 10:45. actually i din't really know what i was doing at first, cos i din't have a map, so i was just walking around lost, while jookee was at his movie.

only started doing stuff when jookee came out. he was helping out in the niko niko booth. its live stream to a youtube channel by the way, and japs actually watch it. anyway, at first he was just standing at the side and watching claire host, and him asking for help lol.

we kinda stood at the side, and apparently i kinda influenced pin to come cos he saw us both in the stream. lol. mainly they just interviewed ppl who were wearing interesting stuff, like those ppl dressed up as COD characters, or mingwei and vivian. ya they were interviewed too, about touhou lol. 

jookee's supposed to emcee too, but when he finally did, he just blanked out and claire just asks everything he wants to ask haha. he got free lunch for helping out though, so he was kinda freeloading lol.

finally went to the stage at 2:35. firstly was just some short meet the fans session with fripside and m.o.v.e, and the just talked with the emcees. and i thought that was really interesting. then after that horipro came out, and there was sea a, daisuke kishio, and may'n. and after they got interviewed, they actually performed. wow, seriously more than i can ask for haha.

ok i just erased alot of ranting, so i'll just summarised sea a is actually quite good, just that they sound really weird when they talk. then the daisuke kishio guy's interview was darn interesting cos he was seiyuu-ing the merlion. ya... and he also sang damn well too. multi talented guy. i have a new interest in his songs now haha.

it was may'n's fifth time here, so she din't talk about what food to eat or where she went. but that's not the point. she din't suggest that she was singing, so we thought she might not, so danny choo was like 'erm do u have any song for our fans' in jap, and yea she has. waa super worth buying stage ticket for this my gosh.

everyone was kinda hoping she would sing 'chase the world'. me too, cos i was worried i wouldn't know what song she was singing. she sang diamond crevasse from macross frontier, and i kinda heard it once or twice before so yay :D. sounds so godly live sia. i can't recreate how it sounded like, even if i max volume it with my earphones on now D:

ok i have to control my ranting... i cut it away again lol. anyway, lisa's interview was delayed, and then they said they were going to bring forward the next item. so i kinda got out of my seat in the front. then it turned out to be a scam. walked back quite sheepishly lol, but there were quite a lot of ppl who were going to leave too haha. those who left probably damn suay haha.

it was quite nice la. she smiles a lot in real life. everyone was damn high for her though. for this meet-up ppl actually stood up and went to the barricades and spammed pictures. even though camera is not allowed lol. yea i kinda sneak a few pictures from my seat too :P.

went back to the booths awhile. went to buy accel world cards haha. it was the last pack, so pin just bought it without a second thought lol. we split it, but it's still $14 a person :0. can't do anything with one deck though. but at least we have like about 10 cards of kuroyuki hime haha. png would love them hehe. 

we should get the sao deck, then we can actually play. that'll cost alot more though, but alot of ppl like sao, i don't know why. can get fate/zero or shakugan no shana, cos they are all the same game haha. but chances are we won't buy any more cards. we're like broke now.

we actually went to a cafe. yea a ... maid cafe. actually i just wanted to drink something and eat something, but wow the cake + tea set cost $19 -.-.  plus i realised i din't want to go there to see maid costumes. but actually those 'maids' are ppl who actually just there for fun. they actually are quite big ppl, some of them are famous cosplayers and etc.

it probably cost so much though cos decorated the plate with whip cream, then made us use 'magic' on the cake to make it tastier, which goes like 'mo-e, mo-e, kyun!' oh god lawl. also played scissors paper stone, moe cafe style. and then pin was convinced to pay for photos too. two photos. cost $10 more. which means $16 per person. ouch.

not going to describe the booths for now ba. wait till pin's photos are up. and damn jookee's not back yet. this is bad... if tmr ends this late, i dunno how we'll be going to school lol.

so right now just slacking off in pin's room. jm's being an idiot lol. demanding egg, but saying his full and all that. ok la we're gonna play monopoly now haha. can't sleep too late though. intending to go there real early tmr haha. ok that's enough la. bye~~

lazy

went to exercise this morning, and was quite surprised by all the activity by then. ppl swimming, running, jogging. i know it feels good after doing something in the morning, but for some reason i can't get myself to sleep properly. and i guess i just can't be bothered waking up early either. im lazy :/

so yea my parents had real trouble waking me up this morning, but somehow they managed to force me to go lol. anyway, i think its pretty amazing how so many people can wake up early and start getting things done in the morning. and gahhh, all this just makes me think how undisciplined i am. i think if my mum knows how undisciplined i am in hostel, i'll be screwed...

i really wonder how all the adults can manage their life without anyone telling them what to do. i mean once im there (which is very, very soon), i need to do everything by myself. like really handle everything. i wonder how do they always make themselves wake up early, do things on time, not forget things here and there, make themselves do things they must do, even though they don't like it, put time every week to exercise.

i guess this is what an ordered life does to u. i mean, there's like no long term break once ur working, so there's no way to just suddenly decide to sleep damn late and wake up damn late and use comp everyday. sometimes i just feel damn guilty about it. i feel like im disappointing others, though not exactly specific, kinda vague actually. i guess im more orderly during school time, but only just slightly. 

anyway, its gonna be real hard for me to change to that... im like the complete opposite. i don't know why i can turn out so different from my parents though. its like i mean i don't want to become this serious, practical person, but i know that right now, im being a huge bother to other ppl around me. ok i shan't describe and further guilt-trip myself. i guess u guys all know already :/. sighhhh

yesterday, my mum and my maid went to maid agency to extend her work permit that expires next year june. she's been her for a really long time already, ever since my second sister was born. however, since she's already 61, if she goes back this hols, chances are MOM would not allow her to come back anymore.

if we really can't renew it, then i guess the last few months before june, we'll just bring her around singapore and let her have fun ba. it has been so long already. i really wonder what it'll be like once she's gone :/

i'll be quite screwed i realised. gonna have to wake up in the morning myself (which is hard for me already), cos hostel doesn't exactly cultivate good sleeping habits lol. need to get everything prepared and make my own breakfast :/. travel i guess my parents can get me a school bus (lucky), but its still gonna be really hard. 

i guess i can learn, but chances are i'll get a lot of late coming offences. ok la at least that's better than waking up late in NS.

anyway, watched finished kokoro connect and yuruyuri. addicted to the songs haha. i really like kokoro connect. don't exactly know how to describe it though, but it really brought out the personalities of the characters. the theme is really good. i guess i shan't spoil though heheh.

and yuruyuri ending was pretty smart haha. i'll miss kyouko's voice quite badly. especially when she says 'akari-chan'. but ah well at least i have the op's and ed's to make up for that :D

which means im starting to watch stuff like jinrui wa suitai shimashita, which means mankind has declined. it is a super o.o anime, but for some reason i kinda like watching it haha. i dunno, i have weird tastes lol.

thinking of having a full day class outing. im kinda reluctant to post on the class wall now though. i got plans, but i don't dare to share it. maybe im imagining this, but somehow i feel like when ppl see me post stuff up there, they don't really care, or they're like siannn. low self-confidence i guess.

but i kinda feel like hosting ppl in my house again haha. this time the group is different, we could still play cards and have hotplate again :D. but we probably won't stay upstairs at mahjong all the way to midnight (remember?). 

damn the outings + sleepovers last time were really fun haha. play somewhere until tired liao, then all crash someone's house to slack off, play cards, play comp even (lol), eat food, eat snacks. but i feel kinda awkward suggesting it to my class, to like come to my house lol. ok i know this sounds really stupid lol. but when nobody says much, i get worried for no reason tskk. i mean i don't exactly reply enthusiastically to other ppl when they host outings. well, now i know..

gonna try doing other stuff now. try. well i kinda failed in trying to stop myself from doing anything for too long. so i decided i gonna do other stuff instead. but i find it kinda awkward to say it here, i dunno why. so yea. do other things. hope it works lol.

ok ranting in all directions haha. shall stop now. and yea damn even though i woke up early, i wasted like 4 hours on my phone. ahhh -whacks self-. ok bye~~

i hate to admit it to myself, but i know that even though i always seem afraid of seeking attention, deep down, im an attention seeker D:

day of crashing other clusters

ok i have quite a lot of things to write about, but i don't know where to start. problems of not blogging for too long haha. just gonna random my way through.

my life after exams is extremely boring. its just like borderlands, duel masters, watching anime, doing just a very little bit for arp. and then sleeping late and waking up late >.<. so im somewhat proud of all the other extra stuff i do, even though its not much haha.

so on tuesday, which was halloween, i felt like seeing some things, so i joined 6B, cos they were going to hang a pumpkin down from 4A to 2A haha. they almost got screwed the day before though, cos jihyun (kim) screamed when she saw the pumpkin lol.

this time they planned something else though, cos many ppl knew about the pumpkin. they called it operation slender /o\. basically, they wrapped a ball with a boon chong's school shirt, and stuffed it in brendan's hoodie, with a hanger inside.

so this time, the target was jihyun (lee). since she already knew about the pumpkin, so the plan was to lower the pumpkin first, so that she'll be like 'so cool', then suddenly drop slender man in front of her. wow, that's quite a freaky plan lolz.

of course, things din't go so well la. we were doing 'test runs', cos slenderman is damn heavy btw. and we had to drop him suddenly to make it scary. we had rope and a pulley lol, but actually it was just a pole la. so we had to test sudden drops, which was quite hard on the 'belayer', cos the jerk is quite hard lol. we stuffed a cap at the top of the hoodie, and pushed it through a carabina. wanted to secure it additionally, but they said it was fine, as long as we lower the thing properly lol.

the thing was, the ball dropped out twice during the test run /o\. first time it dropped was pretty epic haha. and yea kevin was there to see us fail and help us take the ball twice. and lots of 3A ppl were watching us 'test run' too lol.

when jean was walking along the corridor of 2A, everyone was screaming for aditya to pull slenderman up, but we were too late. so everyone was like 'oh crap'. had to plead with her not to tell jihyun lol.

in the end it failed pretty badly, cos the drop was misjudged haha. and they blew out the candle, went to grab the slenderman, and almost din't return boon chong's shirt lol. so mean D:

then while trying to repeat the drop, the ball fell for a third time. haha faillll. but its quite cool la. imagine u look out of ur cluster and there's a pumpkin hanging from above.

after that went to 12B, but this time without the head, cos super risky sia... so its just the jacket. only anh and simin saw it though, cos not many ppl were there. the pumpkin shocked anh, but not the slenderman. i guess it din't work out the way we wanted it, but whatever la, it was quite fun :D.

the pumpkin was quite old already, and starting to smell, so we decided to just give it to mr joseph lol. lighted it up and even wrote a message.

yea kelvin is surprising good at drawing

but truth was cos we actually wanted to get rid of the pumpkin, but that would be such a waste, so we put it there lol. so once we put it there, boon chong was supposed to get him out, but wth he went to ring so many times la lol. we all ran out of the cluster, and i din't manage to get a photo of the lighted pumpkin tskk. thank goodness too bad mr joseph wasn't there.

anyway, ended up crashing 8B and playing citadels. for some reason everyone dropped what they were doing, and we managed to get 7 ppl to play. and hell yea i got throne room. haha ego boosting building. basically when i have the crown, ppl must say 'thanks, your excellency' when i announce their character, or they'll miss their turn. but i couldn't come back with a condescending reply hahah. so yea ended up playing for two hours and fell asleep at like 3. fun day heh.

haven't been doing these for a long time. i guess i should, now that hostel is ending soon. guess that's all for now. feel like doing something else now. bye~~

this really isn't anything much, but i get pleased too easily lol

boarding dinner

ok i shall try not to rant too much on the practicing for performance part haha.

it was really stressful actually. sometimes i felt really upset, cos pin and jookee could play the song already. they practiced until they were familiar, but for me, i couldn't sing as well as they wanted. it was lacking emotion, lacking power.

i felt like i wasn't putting enough effort, cos after all my role was the easiest to practice for. so i tried my best to accept whatever comments ppl gave me, but of course i felt rather terrible about it too. i kept thinking that i should not have assumed the singing role in the first place, cos i really couldn't do it well. but i guess nobody was really expecting too much i guess, so that kind of kept me going.

on the day itself, we suddenly thought of making our performance like less serious by doing retarded things, that's why there was that short intro at the start and the random panda and the random scene at the end. but i kind of screwed the intro up, cos i was nervous heh. basically cos hyouka had four members, but one of them wants to conserve energy, and we kinda made up the panda thing as satoshi being retarded lol.

it helped make the whole thing less serious and more like a for fun thing, which made me kinda of excited and nervous at the same time just before the performance. i don't really know how to describe it, but its like a very ticklish feeling in the chest that makes u feel like cringing.

i tried to sing with as much ease but yet with emotion. i don't really know how it worked out, but it felt rather genuine for a moment and i was pretty surprised by how much ppl cheered lol. i knew i looked very nervous on stage, so yea since it was my first time i guess ppl wanted to help me. but i was somewhat surprised that i could actually smile lol.

and it felt really good after we finished performing, though i kinda screwed the last scene up too. it was supposed to be funny, but i think we screwed that part up. whatever la. the adrenaline rush after the performance was pretty awesome. and we are lucky we performed first haha, cos we got to enjoy the rest of the performances and eat food. like those performances in the middle probably would be too nervous to eat.

honestly though, i can't decide whether i should continue singing. it feels much less stressful if i just sing to myself but don't perform it to such a big stage. i think it is pretty fun to be in a band, but maybe i should learn an instrument instead. right now i can only practice piano, though i think it'll take too long to master it. i guess i probably won't /o\.

after the first intermission with the photo montage that kept repeating, everyone was like all waiting to start the buffet haha. the names of the food sounded really good, so it made ppl really eager for the thing to start. but yea it disappointed alot of ppl lol. i think it was fine la. i din't eat that much actually, as compared to other buffets. though we felt quite full. i think the fruit punch is a ploy to fill our stomachs up lol.

6B came with their avengers costumes, though i think the men in black were pretty epic. actually alot of epic stuff happened with 6B, but we were kind of too far to see what was happening. there was also kenryk being a grim reaper, and actually lots of impressive stuff. i din't really get the chance to walk around before everyone got seated and see what ppl were wearing though, so i only knew about some things after the whole event was over.

the games were pretty interesting. i liked the trivia, and the other activities were quite funny too. kenryk won the best dressed male haha, and wow he actually put the scythe on dr hang's head lol. then adrian was also wearing some ninja mask with the panda mask :0. its seriously darn scary, cos u can see adrian staring at u from underneath gosh >.<.

i kinda left before the fun got started though. the dj's were too loud, and i din't think that much would happen after that, so i kind of left early. missed out alot of epic stuff and group photos. so with that, the last event of boarding was over, and sigh, i kinda regret i dint really enjoy it as much as others.

i guess i shall put some pictures that i ripped off from many different albums :P (hey at least i bothered too :P), since it was quite a fun event (and kind of remind myself what i missed lol). i don't really know the chronological order, but whatever la.

deco



wow i din't realise that justing was wearing some glowing thing until now :0


that's supposed to cause some explosion right...


cool :D. really looked like he levitated and threw himself at the shield lol

in the end though, captain america 1, thor 0 :P

actually that bow is pretty hard to pull lol


swag.


its quite amazing how much effort 6B put in for these event heh


ouch lol.


the panda mask really suits him...


wow. just wow.




haha one of the only photos i took.

and stop it with those 'peace' signs :0

i din't know i missed a class photo D:  no one told me..


then all these was after i left


ok this looks pretty crazy actually...


badass lol.


and yea i still left out plenty more...

haiz i really missed out a lot... should have stayed there and seen all these for myself. i don't know much about the back part, except alot of couples got pushed together haha. ok la enough photos to make me satisfied liao lol. i wasn't even blogging about myself anymore... ok bye~~

i guess now i have to find something else to look forward for
