Please keep quiet

Please allow me to illustrate how little I actually talk(ed) in the June holidays and the present.

Imagine. You have four weeks of holiday, and you receive approximately 1 call regarding SIA. For other miscellaneous resons, you receive an estimated 5 calls. All this in 30 days of holiday, not mentioning that I don't really have entire conversations with my mother, who is the only person I often see during that period of time.

Of course, there comes the last few days of holidays, which I spent frantically calling up everyone and telling them what to do. Don't let me go to what happened after that.

As a result, on the first day of school, I go back to school, bombard people with "why didn't you send me the stuff...?!", and after lunch, I find that I was losing my voice. It was only half a day of talking! Not even half a day, I would say, since I don't talk during lessons.

Haven't excercised my vocals enough. I see. This means that I have to start talking to myself more. lol.

By the way, bio quiz was disastrous. I'm surprised that a real fire didn't happen along with it. It was supposed to be like that, wasn't it?

Keep on going, going, gone.

Ah... I've let all the stress get to me. *shakes head* That kinda explains the pretty lousy posts these few days. See? I'm officially braindead now. All thanks to the HW!

Oops. Wrong topic.

I believe that life is more interesting when you know that it is interesting. It all lies in the brain. It is actually rather amazing to find out how brain activity actually affects your entire being and attitude towards certain things. For example, I've managed quite a bit of stuff when I actually told myself that it is easy to complete. However, for things that get on my nerves, like Practicals in the labs, I never fail to... well, fail. I don't even comprehend the instructions sometimes.

And that explains why I have such trouble doing practicals, because I find that they need some effort and time on my part in order to complete. Like today's bio practical.

Shoots, wrong topic again.

Another discovery I've made in the recent week is that I'm much better sitting down in front of a computer typing reports than doing other parts of the projects. And it's strange why I keep talking about SIA and homework when I purposely try to stay away from that topic. Hm.

Anyway, there has also been great news amongst all these depressing stuff, because I am looking forward to that Manga Drawing Demo and Cosplay in school! ^_^ I think our school's finally accepting JPop culture as part of us now! Hehe. It's such a pity that the demo is only 30 minutes long or so. We need a full length 2-hour workshop! lol.

Nyah nyah nyah... I wish I could live somewhere where I can get along with people. Right now I'm just too stubborn and do not wish to change in order to be like most people. What's the point after that? No point at all.

Strange that I always think that I'm going to die young. Strange. And how I keep going back to wondering whether there's life after death and what will happen to me after I die, and whether I have died before but just don't remember. Strange. Now I sound like I'm religon obsessed, little cranky girl. Must stop thinking about all those stuff. Where's the fangirl me now?

It's still there, no doubt. In fact, I should devise a plan to supress it instead. Getting to me too, you know. Fangirlitis coupled with depression is not pretty. Theoretically speaking, it is a very dangerous combination. Dont forget the lack of sleep too. Totally turns the tables.

Lol, I'm just hoping that inspiration strikes me sometime this year. I hope it doesn't decide to abandon me, I've only had inspiration about once a year only, anyways. Surely nothing wrong with that?

Til then, it's all homework, SIAs and studying for tests. I wonder why Sleep isn't on the list. Hm.

And I thought I'm not supposed to talk about homework?! o-O

It ran away

I am pissed.

Well, I wasn't in a very good mood to begin with in the morning today, but that was more like "pre-'school reopening' blues". My mum was also angry with me, so that explains all the grumpyness.

But then, now, the very last few hours of holiday I have, I see that nobody has sent me the stuff required for the report, I am getting pissed. T_T

I asked to get the edited stuff back by yesterday! And until now...

...no news.

So I'm forced to print a lot of things. I think I'm going to regret this.

Nobody called me either. The entire holiday, I think I have only received one call that is regarding SIA. Pisses me off, you know. It's so disappointing.

And how can you ever count it as an SIA if it's done by only one person? T_T

It's tiring. Really. Doesn't help that I have a very heavy school bag to carry tommorrow too. And what more, there's PE right on the first day of school. =_=

Joy.

Random Post- beware: rambling

Bleargh. I crawl out of the hole, look at the clock, and it says it's close to 1100 hours. I wonder what happened to my plan to get up early. o-o

Failed. Again.

And then I seem to find some difficulty in finding out where I'm supposed to read the Northern Ireland Conflict thing from. Really... where is the thing? Not in textbook? @_@

Too much maths SIA is taking its toll on my brain... after typing several thousand words, I think its functioning at the level somewhere similar to Cloud's. I think. @_@ doesn't describe it enough. It should be something like @_@ and >_> and T_T and maybe to some extent, =_=, altogether. Get the idea?

I'm itching to sit down and doodle something for the whole afternoon. I haven't really got the chance in so long. >_> *feels grumpy*

It's kinda obvious that I'm not in a good mood today. Nor in a studious mood either. Nope, I haven't even touched BSD this whole hols. I think Mrs Soh will get a little irritated. o-o

The only thing cool that's happening these few days is DN! It's very cool... but then my mum knows that I stay up late reading that, so now she says not to go and read it anymore. But it's so brilliant! Very good exercise for the brain. Highly recommended.

What else... Ah... I think I have start investing in pins from now onwards. It's not going to be all rubberbands now. Maybe.

And I wonder why the interesting dreams stopped coming. I was just getting a little happier with all the Zack dosage through those dreams... now even SIAs haunt my dreams. I want Zack-kun back. He's much better.

Speaking about Zack, LO is looking better and better everyday. But then again, I went ahead to break one of the "things I said that I shouldn't do" rules. I went to look at the new scans, and coincidentally, it was posted the moment I went to ACF. ^-^ and there's no doubting it now. Zack looks absolutely wrong in LO. Really wrong. Like what happened to his hair? >.< But even then, LO is such a great idea that I squirm in my seat just thinking about it because I have no idea how SE just knows how to get at me. Anime... sometimes I think that SE is just pure evil. They will take over the world one day. Heh.

And...

All bow down to the greatness that is Cloud, Seph and Zack!!! They are needed for the next revolution against evil like SE.

Just look at the new scans! I wonder why they decided to revamp the International CDs. I want need get a high quality pic of that Sephiroth Picture. Pretty Please?

See, I knew it. I can't talk for more that 10 minutes before I digress to other... stuff. Who says I'm not the fangirl type? I'm just wondering whether I failed at converting into an Intelligent Fangirl, as mentioned here. I hope I didn't.

Ramble over. Time to get back to work.

The consistent girl

Been busier than normal trying to finish the various SIAs lately, which is why I seem to blog less often nowadays. I've also grown rather distracted... by certain manga... things. LOL. Bad me bad me. *kicks self mentally*

Right now, I know that it is impossible to finish the SS SIA end product, because it's not even half finished yet! *cries* And then it is so hard to find information. What I'll have to work on is the reports, which I have decided to be fully responsible for (except the pictures). I know I can finish the reports, but the end product... =_=

The maths report and end product are all my responsibility, so I have to do things fast. Sheesh. Not good.

Been cursing more than usual lately, but who can blame me? I'm doing most of the SIAs (which I find great difficulty in accomplishing)! WTH.

And I think I'm going more than a little cranky with all the Deathnote I've been reading lately. Ow... my brain...

None the wiser

After two days of pure SIA meetings and one -cool- day of CCA talks, I really should have learnt a couple of things or so, right?

Hmm... maybe I have.

Basically, when you have meetings, time FLIES. I wish it didn't though. I very much prefer it walking on land. Then it might have been easier to catch it, and finish stuff.

Utilise your time well. When you get a couple of hours, you can be surprised at what you can achieve. I think I did the most on the MRT train today from Boon Lay to City Hall. *is proud of achievement*

I hate reports.

I am cursed with the permanent job of job distribution. What irony. Hmm...

I seem to also have a knack for undertaking the compilation and editing parts (very impt!) simply because I don't really trust anyone but myself to do it properly.

I have very bad luck making phone calls.

I am in love with Solar Systems and physics. <33

I am very interested in reading/watching Naruto.

I have to stop reading all that info about AC Ultimate Edition.

I want to know where those cosplayers got their wigs (where applicable) from. *wipes away drool on floor*

I desperately need more time.

And most of all, I have extreme difficulty in sleeping early and waking up early. Eh, I wonder why... o-O I always feel awake when it's after midnight. *glances at clock*

Think I'll go and hide away in a hole for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to receive enlightenment while doing so. Lol. *brings Cloud plushie along*

Cloud Must Die

yea... if the guy wants actual respite and all that. *coughreunitewithsephyandzackandaeriscough* I think I'm getting influenced by people. And yaoi. Nothing can pull Cloud yaoi ideas away from me. Heh. NOTHING! But then again, the only yaoi I ever support is Cloud yaoi. How can I be that mean to him? *puppy eyes*

Still, under all that influence, maybe it's good that Cloud dies... soon. His brain probably stopped being fully functional quite a few years ago. But *sniff-* it's sad to see him go! *sniffsniff-*

*gets a Super Deformed Cloud figure to place on desk*

Adorable, ain't he?

I'm gonna take these broken wings...

Sorry, listening to something right now.

I'm absolutely over worried for all my SIAs right now. I haven't done anything today! @_@ I told myself to actually do something today, and I didn't. Why does it happen? Why do I never find enough time to do things? Sheesh. I have to stomp down that slacker in me.

Like right now.

Okay maybe not right now. But later when I get up. I shouldn't sleep so late either. I think that's why I always feel as though half the day is gone before I do anything. Fact is, half the day has indeed gone by even while I'm sleeping.

Should start work. And sleep less. And somehow I'm having really *cough*interesting*cough* dreams lately.

No. Work!!!

*goes to reprimand self*

Life is pain

It is wrong to judge people by how they look. Chances are, the more cheerful they look, the more broken up they are inside.

I thought only about 10% of the people I know are like that. Seems like it may be much much more than that. Just wondering... will anything ever get Clorith down? (don't tell me she's broken up inside too, because by then everyone in the world must have been playing games with everyone else.)

I probably need to correct what I said in about three posts ago, about vin_.

Life is pain and sorrow. But without life, there will be no love.

I must remember that.

And no, you are still not a pathethic loser who deserves to die, no matter what you believe. Just stop hurting youself.

I want, I need, I'm greedy

The more I look at this, the more I want it. Eh, I should know the boundaries of a poor fangirl.

It is an anime... anime... argh... why don't they ever do a longer one? Then I can keep looking at more Cloud, more Seph and more ZACK! I miss the poor guy. *sniffle-*

*goes to huggle plushies*

And that International!! I think I'm going to faint.

Ignoooore me. Please.

And so I slack

I've been slacking for a couple of days, simply because I don't feel like getting down to doing actual reports. And then I have no idea about SS, Maths and other SIAs. Surely no time to get everything done. T_T Why isn't there a way out of this?

*sticks up a signboard, which reads, "NEED HELP DESPERATELY" If you have helpful tips regarding ideas for doing SIAs quickly and efficiently, or not slacking, or multitasking, please contact Drax as soon as humanly possible*

small note: of course, if you don't have tips about any of the above, but just want to send a bit of love, you're all very much welcomed. <33

*eyes FFVII: Last Order* funding will also be very much appreciated.

I am a sinner

I have commited a sin, just when I thought this day is a good day.

I made a guy angry at me.

Really angry.

A guy who likes me.

Feeling loved?

It's interesting to observe how close you can get to the people you know online.

It seems easier to talk to some people as compared to people from school or class.

I don't really miss the people from my class, but I do miss those from ACF. I haven't seen Spice (lol, she changed her name back) for a long time, and I met Ice this afternoon, after not seeing her for an unknown amount of time. Lol, looks like we both missed each other.

And I suppose I talk to sensei more than a lot of other people, but then well... eh... we always digress to some other issue. ^^;;

And I suppose Zack fans are really close to each other simply because there are so few of us. Just a couple of days ago it was all just vin_ and me, and it had been like that for a few weeks, with occasional posts by others. But then Unita and Yamuri appeared yesterday/today, and they are quite sincere about the club as well. Now it's much more lively, and we finally can get more discussion about Zack going on, lol. The more the merrier. ^-^

-testing-

-end test-

So it works... alright. I wub it because it my first ever proper product after playing around with PS. I really was ... you know... try this and try that...alright. Cut the crap.

vin_ must be the most rabid fangirl I know after Clorith.

Alright, cut the crap again.

Sleep

I had another dream.

Another dream of Sephiroth, that is.

It was choir performance, this time. And I don't know whether he made an appearance or not, but it was for him. Seph. Honouring him or something.

And then there was this old lady, who was once related to the choir, somewhere I believe was at the backstage. She went on talking about what a nice name Sephiroth is, and then amah(I dunno why) interrupts and says about its relation to Kabbalah (is it true?) and the old lady agrees, mentioning that she once knew someone else called Sephiroth, but that was a long time ago.

I wonder what this means, having two Seph dreams in a week or so. I certainly wasn't thinking of him before I slept; I was thinking about Cloud and Zack. Probably to do with that ZackCloud fic I was reading the other day. o-o

I dont...secretly... like Seph more than Cloud, do I? Uncomprehendable, if it's so, I don't even know about it. LOL.

What a rant, hehe.

I think right now I desperately need some sleep. I think I spent too much time playing around with photoshop. (I did my very first sig!) Laoba's back in the country, too. Good.

Hitting the stack.

Murder in the city

Alright. Maybe it wasn't murder, but it was also a life taken away before my very eyes.

Witnessed a kind of killing today. A different kind than what you would normally think.

I actually watched a crow chase, catch and eat an eurasian tree sparrow this evening. It happened quite fast. First, I notice some kind of commotion, lots of birds flying around, and then I realise that only one particular sparrow is targetted by the crow. And the crow was so determined, it followed the sparrow no matter how and where the sparrow flew.

My mum actually thought of saving the poor thing, armed only with a badmintonn racket, but I told her to stand back. I know crows are much stronger than they look. And while we were comprehending all that in our brains, the crow caught the sparrow, and landed right in front of us.

Then it picked it up by its claws to settle on a nearby tree branch and it proceeded to pick at it, plucking out its feathers in the process.

Oh goodness.

Poor poor thing.

The other sparrows got a fright too, for a while after that you could still hear the chirpings of the other sparrows, now safe and sound in the tree branches.

I've never witnessed predator-prey killing in real life, so... please pardon me if I do sound a little shocked.

And after that, I think it became Dog Hour or something, because one dog appeared, then another, and then another. And then comes a whole group of five very large dogs that look like stray dogs but shouldn't be.

So that was, one Chihuahua, one Schnauzer, one Cocker Spaniel, one Shih Tzu, a few others that I couldn't observe close enough, and the last five large dogs. They honestly look and behave like stray dogs though. They travel together (I stalked them, had to run, actually. They ran quite fast.)And tried to sneak into JWSS. At least one of them actually managed to squeeze right through the bars of the metal gate. That must have been a smaller, large dog. Or skinnier, at any rate.

So I was observing the four (I couldn't find the missing fifth), one of which was in JWSS while the others tried in vain to squeeze in. I am certain that there's at least one female dog, the brown one, because the black male dog tried to hump it.

Not a very choice place to do that. I do hope that dogs will consider about that in the future.

But pretty interesting, still. A bit of amusement for a day crammed full of SIA and homework.

It happened again

It happened again. I think it should be given a name by now, no not the Curse of the Phone Caller. But something to that extent. I suffer from some serious bad luck.

Seriously.

Whenever I call up someone s/he is always not around. Tell me what else if I called up three people today, and none of them were around at the time of the call. And in one case I was so sure that I would find someone on the other end, because she was home just a few minutes ago. LOL.

*headdesk*

That aside, I'm happy to say that I've more or less completed my Physics SIA. If I'm going to allow it to remain like that. To describe it in one word, I would say "wordy". I know posters aren't supposed to be wordy. But tell me how you're going to explain the photoelectric effect completely in one poster without sounding too long-winded. I'm just trying to put across clear points. I even removed some parts of my original explanation.

Which reminds me.

*gasp*

I forgot to include the part where Einstein won the Nobel Prize because of the photon discovery rather than his famous theory of relativity.

Sheesh. No changing now. Too late.

T_T

But I think Savage Garden will cheer me up a bit.

I have a dream

That's what happens when you have me, at home and alone everyday, not talking to anyone else but my mother and YuJing, but that was last Tuesday. Erm, I forgot, I talk to myself everyday. Yup, I suppose I talk to myself the most. Really, I have conversations with myself, which probably convinces some people how crazy I am. And I have so much to rant that I keep forgetting. So I post two posts in a row.

I wanted to comment on how long it has been since the last time I dreamt of Cloud. I know that I dreamt of Sephy a few nights back, and -I remind you- my dreams are always very strange, thus not making any little effort to make sense. What happened in that dream I don't really remember, but the thing I do remember is that Sephy had brown hair.

WTH?

Brown hair, like Lucrecia, before all the experiments.

I've got one thing to say, and that is Seph looks good godly only with silver hair. Now I know.

And last night I had at least two dreams. One having something to do with interviewing someone from a game company, and instead, I meet this whole gang of gamers instead, and one of my ex-classmate is one of them. Strange. I think it was for SIAs. And we were late, and the company called us up to remind us that we have totally forgotten about that interview and if we don't get there in another was it half and hour or so, they're going to sue us. (?!)

Sheesh, I sort of hope that that doesn't come true.

The other dream had something to do with camping. Amah was there, and so was Ewe. (dunno why) and we suddenly had to kayak (it was at night) and I was all happy to be able to kayak again, because this time it was short distance, and not entire expeditions like OBS. And then I only remember a part about sweeping the floor and putting on the life jacket. Eh, sweeping the floor? I think my brain is screwed. Why else do all my dreams not make sense?

LOL, I just watched this and it was so funny. XD Go and watch it!

Look, miso soup without tofu

I had originally wanted to blog yesterday, but then I was too engrossed with reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, which is, not coincidentally, part of the READ Singapore campaign. Heh, I actually sat down for more than four hours reading that, simply because I read things slowly.

I don't think it should be classified as children's fiction, because I think it's rather hard to comprehend. Okay, that's only if you're like me and want to completely understand every part of the book, including the mathematical theorems. But it is such a good read, no wonder it's highly recommended. But I think some people will get bored, if you just happen to be that type of person.

And I saw FMA OST (the one with only the four opening and four ending themes) for $19.95 which was alright for eight songs in total. I also saw the FFX OST which cost $91.00. Not surprising. Though I have this feeling that it's the same one that I saw last time. It sort of pisses me off that I can find every FF OST out there except, except for the FFVII OST or anything concerning it, such as the Reunion Tracks. Not a trace. I even saw KH and Dragon Quest.

Back on topic, I also saw -dum dum dum- Gensomaden Saiyuki OST, which was selling for -dum dum dum- $72.00. I know Saiyuki songs are nice, but do they actually cost that much? Hm... I think I need to do some research.

So, because I didn't blog yesterday, I think I shall skip over other events that happened in the recent past.

Anyway.

I have realised that everytime I don't check updates, there will always be major updates.

Goodness. They're begining to take preorders in Japan and I didn't know because I didn't check until two days later which happens to be today. And there are so so so many extra stuff included.

That is, if you're willing to fork out the money.

Should I get into a fangirlitis attack about now? And go, OMGZORRD!!! Preorders for AC!!! I have no such money!!! There's no preorders for Singapore? What to do what to do??? *runs in circles and accidentally bangs against the wall* Owwies.

Nah, I'll skip that part now. And I shall be an Intelligent Fangirl. (converting in practice) And the most important thing is, Intelligent Fangirls always Have A Way Out. They think through problems calmly and come out with a Plan.

Alright, so I have to think up of a Plan.

...

...

I think I'll share them privately when I have the time.

By the way, I have revived my interest in Savage Garden songs. I knew I've always loved them, actually, but I never got the courage to steal borrow them for a while. But they are so nice.

If you're wondering about the title, it's what I had (partially) for dinner. Eh, my mother suddenly decided to invest in ready made packeted miso soup. But then we didn't have tofu at home, so. Yup.

Is anyone there?

Sheesh. I swear that people all disappear during the holidays without a single trace.

Hmm... since when do the people I know become more busy during holidays than normal school days? It's almost impossible to catch the right people online right now. (ignore the fact that it is approximately 15 minutes to midnight) But why hasn't there been a single 303 person for the whole day? It's not that I'm looking for 303 people, but what about those people who are supposed to be doing SIAs with me? o-O

Yeah, gone.

Maybe I'm meant to be the one to start calling everyone up, for those who are still in the country. I hate calling people; they are always not there, busy, or nobody picks up the phone at all. Hmm... what kind of bad luck is that? Or maybe I'm supposed to do most of the stuff by myself?

The large imaginary pile of SIAs and reports stares at me mildly, but I am sweating buckets of cold sweat.

Ehehehehe.... ^^;;

*proceeds to squish the SIAs, reports and homework into a dark, dark corner of my brain* See ya all later. I send love to the chem SIA, okay?

Okay. Thought I wanted to share a quote. Hehe, it was rather amusing, in my opinion.

Merceneries NEVER die. They just go to hell to regroup.

I wonder whether Zack knew any of this.

Acids, bases and ions

Amazingly, I woke up today deciding to be a little different.

What did I do?

I turned on the radio and tuned in to an EL radio station, and sat down to do chemistry SIA. Without getting distracted. Except for typing this, but that's another matter. I need somewhere to exclaim my amazement.

Woot.

Carry on, girl.

By the way, something is disturbing me. Why on Earth is Energy's umm...new album(?) called Final Fantasy -最后的乐园- (sorry, no traditional chinese typing software). Nothing really wrong, but it justs... disturbs me. I wonder why. o-O Ha.

Rakuen

Still obsessed. What can I do?

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, rakuen actually refers to Paradise, which is considerably different from the EL name of WR.

I saw this a couple of days ago, and actually read through the whole thing. It was funnier at the beginning, and I supposed I didn't know where most of the last few came from. On the other hand, it is damed obvious where the first "rule" came from. Tell me another game where that happened first thing other than CC. "You've missed meeting your girlfriend" T_T

Coughs are directed to #13 and #113, amongst many others. *coughsplutter*

I should really get down to doing proper work now, and not get distracted by other...stuff. ( I need a special method to do this; anyone willing to impart the skill?)

And by the way, the DC site is cool! Go and check it out! Hehehe... been seeing a lot of vinny today. *peeks at gag doujin*

Ranting, because I feel like it

I have tons of things to do, but I don't feel like doing them. This just has to be one of the countless holiday syndromes that I suffer from. And why don't I slack? Because I'm going to feel too guilty slacking because there are a few people who are still dilligently doing homework right now. *hint hint I'm looking at you amah*

I have to Rant right now, simply because I have nothing to do (little-voice-in-brain says: nottruenottrue!!! Look at the pile of homework on our desk!!!) or rather... don't want to do anything. T_T All I want to do now is talk, talk and talk! Don't ask me why. (little-voice-in-brain says: Fine, just don't ask her.)

And then... I still have that unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. Really how do I get anything out from there? Will it become chyme? Will it become part of me after absorption? o-o Okay, will I ever get homework out of my little head? @_@ *knocks brain*

Stay tuned to find out.

Tell Me What The Rain Knows

I bring you a song that I have fallen in love with.

.:Tell Me What the Rain Knows:.

>>Singer: Maaya Sakamoto
>>Lyrics: Chris Mosdell
>>Music: Yoko Kanno

Tell me what the rain knows
O are these the Tears of Ages
That wash away the Wolf's Way
And leave not a trace of the day?

Tell me what the rain knows
O is this the flood of torture
That pours itself upon me?
O see how I drown in this sea

Hark, hear the howl that eats the moon alive
Your fur it is on fire
The smoke turns the whole sky raven black
And the world upon your back will crack

Where will you go
Now you've no home?

Let the rain wash away your last days

-----

Personally, I complain that it is simply Too Short. This is 1 minute and 44 seconds of good music, and should be treasured every millisecond of the way. WR touches the hearts of many people with songs like these, especially with Maaya Sakamoto's voice.

I have to watch Final Encounters again, to catch the details that I have missed, especially the music. And probably spend another afternoon crying my heart out. But I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one crying over the tragedy that is of Final Encounters. That four episodes are greatly treasured by all WR fans.

I think I'm a bit delusional. Maybe. Probably.

Ah... it's not fair the way that something always happens to me every holiday, especially during the June holidays and December holidays, and I have to visit the doctor. It was fungus a few years back, then parasitic warts, then now with mysterious stomach ache that gave me hell for almost a complete hour with nobody at home, and no neighbours I know around. My goodness, for a while I thought I had to send myself to the hospital or something. That's really sad. And that's why you should never always rely on other people to help you when you need help the most.

Shoots, it hurt a lot. And I'm still not entirely sure what caused it. Other types of stomach aches would go away after a while, then come back again. I'm used to those. But this one didn't want to go away, and now I know why there's the phrase "writhing in pain". Ouchies.

MiLK Makes You Drunk

Went to the China Forum held in school on Friday. I didn't know that it was such a big event, so you can imagine my amusement when I saw a couple of buses full of students and teachers entering the school to drop them off.

Ah. Big event.

Then, upon reaching the "gathering" area outside the auditorium, I realised that I certainly didn't know why I was there. Everyone there was in the China Program, save for the students from the other schools, whom I don't know whether they're involved in the programs or not.

O...kay.

Well, nevermind, I sort of signed myself up for it, so I sat through the whole afternoon, until close to 5 in the evening. And really, what's so wrong with attending the forum without being in the China Program? Heh, I wouldn't put it as "for fun" but doesn't anyone else see it as a learning experience? I did learn some new things on that day. Especially when people share their own learning experiences in China.

Sigh, I knew I was one of those weirdos that people never accept in society. Still am, by the way. And more than ever.

The D J party was quite fun-ny. (it just happened to be playing OWA-trailers 3 and 4 version- at that time when I reached. Lucky!) Lol, Clorith brought so many things! The Dengeki mag is so nice! I never knew that they had the whole mag in full colour. Heh...and plus the fact that AC was on the cover. I must have been living under a rock. Wonder why I don't pay so much attention to news updates nowadays...

...eh and not to mention: yaoi doujin! XD Why am I underaged... Ryo's art is always so nice! Got to love the style; it's one of my most favourites <33. And Zack too. People love to neglect him.

Met Strife while crossing the road (actually, wanting to cross the road, lol) but I don't think she recognises me. Ah, well. Maybe it's better that way. XDXD nya, as Pam said, we're like a group of stalkers. Hem... I'm sure that's not a good impression.

Finished watching WR today, and I really cried like nobody's business at the end. Honestly, no wonder people felt so disappointed and cheated when the OVA had yet to be released. It's because of the OVA that now I love WR so much. Perhaps I'm the emotional kind, but I thought the last four episodes were so touching. And maybe not exactly touching, but sad with the sense of loss kind of way.

I'll refrain from revealing any spoilers, but just beware of the last four, no, three episodes (27,28-30) especially if you've grown attached to the characters. Any one of them. *sniffles*

Must watch WR again!

five meals a day

Ah... have been a little addicted to WR lately, but things are kinda working against me now. I shouldn't mention what's wrong here. *shifty eyes* Never know who's reading this.

Attended the EC Networking session today. I didn't think that I would have a second chance to step onto the 25th storey of that Environment Building. It's...tall. o-o And kinda scary when you stick your head through that narrow window panel and look all the way down. I think one storey there is a little taller than one storey at home.

Oh well, but you always have this self-assurance that you'll not fall down, because that panel is too small anyway. Just don't think of the what ifs.

Took a trip down to Pulau Semakau (anyone heard of that?) where the landfill site is. At first, I felt kind of honoured that I can come all the way there without paying for anything, not the tea breaks, lunch, or the bus/ferry rides. Well, I still have to pay for my own transport to the building in the first place, but that doesn't really count.

But then, after a little thinking, you know that things shouldn't be this... good, you could say it that way. Ah... they surely want something out of us one day. I know it.

But I'll think about that another time. Right now I should be thinking about SIAs and such.

Went on a sight-seeing tour around the landfill, (nothing much actually, but it was nice seeing the scenery itself) and chased after a couple of birds, and many inanimate objects either lying by the roadside,in the cells, or on land in the middle of nowhere. Figuratively speaking, and chasing with a camera (it's not mine, I don't have the great luck to own one).

It goes something like this:

"See that white round things there? Those are the water monitors (I hope this is right)"

*sees one coming* When it's about 8 metres away,

'Snap!' **

"Ah...see those three pipes there? They are the pipes used to drain the water from the cells. When it's low tide...."

'Snap!'

"...geomembrane...."

*stations camera at window* *waits for a random chance*

'Snap! Snap!'

And much later...

"There's a white heron! You people are sure lucky to see one."

'Snap!'

less than three minutes later...

"...did you see that? A grey heron!"

*grey heron flies away*

"Argh!" 'Snap!'

*sees a grey heron again*

"Ahh!" 'Snap! Snap!'

*stops bus*

*frantic snapping by numerous people*

*moves on when satisfied, and the heron is kind of a celebrity.*
------
** - The camera has a somewhat slow reaction. So must plan/act in advance.

See? It's just like tourists on a holiday. Hahaha... never thought a ministry would make tourists out of their trainees. But then again, I wonder what they're going to ask in return... o-O
