FM
After watching the dross that was School Rumble and the great Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, i've been playing loads of FM. Finished my first season sacked by chelsea but employed by tottenham and brought them to 5th of the league. Through some shrewd tactics, out of 8 matches with the big 4, i won 5, lost 2, drew 1. Relatively good result for Tottenham.. Finished 5th in the league... Now midway through my 2nd season, having made plenty of great purchases like Santa Cruz and Arteta, as well as more cheap bargains that i'm going to groom and sell to finance next season.

School Rumble forever? No thanks.
The anime, School Rumble, has a unique quality that no other anime i watch has. Stupid Scriptwriters.
It takes a special level of stupidity to screw up a romance/comedy anime like they have done. In just one episode, they have UFOs and Switching of Souls with cats and the "It's all just a dream" endings. what the hell? And that is just one episode!
Every other episode has some stupid "Oh i love her/him so much that i cant talk to her, and if i do, i screw it up, or she's sleeping and can't hear me" moments. Once or twice every 4 episodes is fine, but not every goddamned episode... -.-
The only subplot worth watching, that had any sort of semblance of a decent anime was the one of their Sports Day, when one class challenged another, and the romance scenes in that subplot was feasible and ROMANTIC.
Every other romance scene in this anime doesn't seem to invoke romance at all, which makes me feel like saying that this is just a comedy anime, not a romance/comedy. Even then, it would be wrong, because its not funny like a comedy should be.
Furthermore, who on this earth would make the lead female character fall for a ugly guy (ugly things in anime are rare) with no personality OR reason whatsoever? i mean, c'mon, that guy has like a 1 word vocab! ("Yeah.") They never did anything together, when they get a chance to talk, they don't. honestly... -.-
He has no spunk, no personality... -.- if guys like him attracted girls like her, i would be a babe magnet. heck, even my deceased grandfather would be a babe magnet.
Also noteworthy, STUPIDEST OPENING THEME EVER. It makes me feel embarassed just listening to it.
And to think that this anime actually has a season 2 when Fate Stay Night(10/10),RAVE (9/10), Ghost Hunt(6/10) or Ouran high school host club (8/10) doesn't. This anime deserves a groundbreaking 0.5/10
I am definitely not even gonna watch Season 2.
It's crappy to the point where i have to blog about it.. you dont see me reviewing other animes i watch, right?
An example of a decent opening theme, unlike School Rumble.
School Rumble could do with learning how to evoke emotions from the FSN writers. The above scene made me feel more in that 2min than in the whole season of school rumble, and this isnt even the best moment in fsn.

Which Fate/Stay Night Servant are you?
That's the question an online personality quiz posed me. Personally, i was hoping to get Lancer, which is my favourite servant out of the seven. (Saber, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker, Archer, Lancer)
But instead, i got...
You Are Saber, an agile but powerful warrior. Saber is loyal, independent, and reserved; she appears cold, but is actually suppressing her emotions to focus on her goals. Her class is considered the "Most Outstanding", with excellent ratings in all categories.
Well, not what i expected, but good anyway. =)
Shortly after, I took another quiz (yes, i am that bored. "Which TSUBASA RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE character are you?"
This time, i was hoping to get Li, my fave anime character of all time.. but alas... i didnt even get a guy... but still, i feel the description fit me rather well...
You are Sakura.
Compassionate and caring, you try to take others under your wing; if someone seems hurt, you do your best to cheer them up.
Yet, you're lonely; not very many people understand you. This pains you deeply, but you take care not to let it show.
After that, i did another quiz again. (hey this is actually fun. =) )
Which clow card are you? For the uninitiated, Clow cards are the cards that come from the cardcaptor sakura anime, where my beloved Li came from, which sad to say, i didnt watch much of. Not having watched much of this anime, i didnt know most of the clow cards, so i just waited to see what i would get and i got........
The Cloud.
The Cloud creates thick clouds all over the sky which it can move however it pleases. It resembles the Rain.
Like Rain, it has a gentle and playful personality and is more mischievous than combative.
Rather poor explaination for this one O.o
And my final one for the day... Which Ouran High School Host Club Character Are You?
Was hoping for Tamaki Senpai Aka Drama King because he rocks |..|
You're Tamaki Suoh the half-Japanese, half-French Ouran High School second-year student and the president of the Host Club. You're a generous and easily moved or distressed by other's problems(you are worry about others). Though you tend to be amused by the silliest things and are a very care free person, though that does not make you dumb.
Stats:
Birthday: April 8th
Age: 17
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Height: 183cm (6'0") Blood Type: A
Strong subjects: English, French, World History
Favorite Foods: Commoner's ramen, commoner's candy (Baby Star)
Type: Prince
YES, finally got something i want...
Okay, i know i said that that was the last one... but this one really caught my eye... Which prison break character are you? I hope its T bag, but i know thats pretty impossible... =/
My Results:
Michael Scofield
You're very smart, and always thinking of others over yourself. You have a knack for getting out of situations easily.
I suppose he will do too... =D

Dry.
After storming through Season 18 of Simpsons, Season 8 of Seinfeld and Season 6 of Whose Line in 2 days, i am out of shows to watch...
Through recommendation, i am downloading 3 anime series.
1) School Rumble
2)Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
3) Ouran High School Host Club
I already watched number 3 before.. but after talking about it with her, felt a compulsive need to succumb myself to the whims of Drama King Tamaki Senpai again.
What am i to do meanwhile? who knows...

Do they know it's christmas time at all?
Again, it's christmas time. the supposed season to be jolly.
Well, instead of being jolly, christmas is a grumpy old affair. I never celebrated xmas. Never gave nor received a christmas present (heck, i barely even have any birthday presents). Never went out with anyone for xmas.
Yeah, sure, this year some people have asked me out for xmas, but its fairly certain that it was all done out of pity. Please, don't pity me. If you wanna ask me out, do it because you want to, because maybe you somehow enjoy my company, maybe you feel like i'm fun ( i use maybe because i know im not.) not because you're thinking "Oh, poor JM, at home all alone with no one to hang out with.". Not that i do not appreciate the good intentions.
Let's see how i celebrated Xmas today, shall we?
1)Re-read Deception Point by Dan Brown.
2)Re-watch some Whose Line Is It Anyway?
3)Re-watch some Big Bang Theory.
4)Blog this post.
5)Mope.
Oh goodie. Fun.
To me, any school holiday > Christmas. Why is that? it's because at least during school holidays, my parents aren't home. Christmas in my household is essentially just a public holiday that my family doesn't celebrate. Maybe someday, just someday, i will have some one to go out with who really wants me to be with them, yeah? and i'm not even talking about the girl i like at this point. Just any friend, any friend.
The only 2 christmassy thing i did today was... 1) Watch a movie on my laptop by myself called Fred Claus, which i stopped halfway because it was repulsive.
2) listen to a song called "Do they know it's christmas?" By Band Aid 20, which is more of a humanitarian song than actually christmas song.
Woopie doo. such fun.

Catchy
I've been watching this brilliant sitcom called The Big Bang Theory. At first, when i saw the name, i thought it was some documentary but it turned out to be a really funny show, somewhat like and better than Friends. It's great for people who likes wit as opposed to slap stick humour and fart jokes. 10/10 from me! It has this REALLY catchy theme song too.

Holidays now... Nothing to do. i need a long game, not short games like CS. sucks to be me.

Refurnish!
Yeah, got my blog a new background. finally.
Friday was a let down. a big let down, really... but okay...
Finished watching prison break season 3 and south park season 12. Deleted season 1 of heroes without even watching it. Deleted both seasons of Dexter after only watching the first 2 episodes.
1st week of hols are over, 2 more to go...
Gonna play unreal tournament now... Like counterstrike on fast forward.

starting to...
get bored...
Now that The Office is over, been watching Prison Break Season 3, watch till middle, not bad, quite nice, but not as thrilling as first season. I have South park season 12 and heroes season 1 waiting on the side to watch, but can't really find the motivation... i can feel it.. the holidays blues are settling in... and it's only the second day...
On the up side, i managed to push my tottenham to 6th in the league from 10th with a few straight wins in fm09. hope the streak can last.. though i got knocked out from the FA cup by chelsea in a thrilling 5-4 defeat. (Kudos to darren bent for scoring 4 goals.)

Deja Vu
Now, hols have just started and i downloaded the first 3 seasons of this comedy called The Office, of which i have been a long time viewer of (just never found the dedication to sit down every week and wait at the same time). Now that i have the time and i HAVE downloaded them all, i just finished watching the last episode of Season 2 and felt a strong urge to blog. why? Because in the last episode, Jim finally tells Pam about his feelings for her. Now, in my honest opinion, everything that they said in that short clip which i will post, is basically a sumarry of the conversation that i had with my special someone on that friday night. a coincidence? maybe.... Now as im typing this, i realise the guy's name is Jim, not too far from my class nickname Jimmy, is it? Deja vu? hell yes.
In case you can't hear it too well, here's the conversation from wikiquote.
Jim: I was just, um... I'm in love with you.
Pam: What?
Jim: I'm really sorry if that's weird for you to hear, but I needed you to hear it. Probably not good timing, I know that, I just—
Pam: What are you doing? What do you expect me to say to that?
Jim: I just needed you to know. Once.
Pam: Well, I, um—I can't...
Jim: Yeah.
Pam: You have no idea—
Jim: Don't do that.
Pam: —what your friendship means to me.
Jim: Come on. I don't want to do that. I want to be more than that.
Pam: I can't. I'm really sorry - if you misinterpreted things. It's probably my fault.
Jim: Not your fault. I'm sorry I misinterpreted our friendship.

Pam: I can't. I'm really sorry - if you misinterpreted things. It's probably my fault.
Jim: Not your fault. I'm sorry I misinterpreted our friendship.

On the 6th day of sore throat, my doctor gave to me~
4 different medications and told me to rest at home for 3 days minimum. This means.. i'l miss the last day of school as well as the chance to see joyce off to the airport.. sorry joyce =(
Doctor said i have Severe Viral infection of the throat, lucky not tonsillitis or i'll need an op.
One of the meds has a drowsy effect. I came home, had lunch, took it, and went to sleep. 4 hours later, woke up, had dinner, took med again and now i feel sleepy again -.-

On the 6th day of sore throat, my mother said to me...
"Go see the doctor"
Finally... I'm coming to school for UT first and leaving straight after that.
Today, my throat took an even bigger turn for the worse (ive been coughing, bleeding, losing my voice thus far), today, my throat is swollen. till the point where when i drink a mouthful of water, i have to divide it into two... kinda scary... suddenly, the joke about throat cancer doesnt seem so funny anymore...

Spam
My sister told me to spam these Difflam Lozenges which she got from work. she said its supposed to numb the throat. But... when i eat it, it seems to numb the whole mouth EXCEPT the throat -.-
Throats not gotten any better today.. my voice sounding like some kind of weird distant thunder, those low rumble kind. Lucky tomorrow holiday. imagine if i had to go back to school, full air con day, with lots of talking. Confirm will get worse...
For her:
If i can only be your close friend, if that's all that i can get, i'll take the job with honour, i'll be the best one yet.

Shit.
I feel like shit. I sound like shit.
Since young, i was always a hyper-sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke. so on friday, when that smoker sat next to me for that hour, infecting me with the smell of cigarette smoke, i could feel a sore throat start to develop.
Anyone who knows me or reads this blog knows that out of all illness, i HATE sore throat the most. headaches, just take panadol. fever, just go sleep. cold, just tahan. Sore throat god damns decides to REMIND you you have sore throat every friggin time you swallow. and as the production of saliva is continuous, thats alot of pain in a day. Worse, you might be thinking, just sleep it off. But hey, its not as easy as fever. you go to sleep with a sore throat (which is hard to do anyways), you wake up with an ever sorer and drier throat.
Worse is that, this sore throat im having is the irritating kind, not those kind caused by heaty food. heaty food one, the pain is minor, irritating, but minor. This sore throat is the worse kind. Why? i woke up this morning, my mouth full of saliva (my brain refuses to swallow when i have a sore throat), I went to the toilet to spit it out, and there's blood in it! FUCK!
Hurts like shit. feels like shit. IS shit. urgh.

Believe.
Sometimes, my good friends ask me, "Why, jm, why do u go out of your way to help people even if you won't get anything in return?"
The answer, while it might seem foolish to some, to me is "It is because i believe that someday, these small actions of mine have the potential to change the world."
My motto in life has been "To change the world, one individual at a time." since as long as i can remember and to me it is very much the guiding line for my life. That motto was what made my ambition to become a teacher still alive today. I want to be a teacher, because i like the feeling knowing that i can make a difference in those little children's life, hoping that someday, they can go on to become the outstanding citizens that i have failed to become.
How, some might ask, can doing some small things affect so many people?
I gave my friend, joyce, an example today. Somedays, joyce will ask me to buy a bottle of 100plus for her, and i always do that, even if it means the extra trouble of lugging my heavy ass from the class to 7-11 again. But i do it, because it is my belief that if i buy that bottle of 100plus for her, she will start her day slightly happier and less troubled. This will then permeate through her to people around her in class, she might think "hey, since im in a good mood, let's help so-and-so do so-and-so" which might then proceed on to be a chain effect and make alot of people happier.
Yes, sometimes, i do get tired of giving and would like to receive once in a while, but at the end of the day, i still believe that i am doing the right thing.
Joyce, like me, has a motto in life, which is somewhat opposite to mine.
"If you are everything to everybody, You ended up being nothing to yourself"
That is what i feel sometimes when im sick of giving...
But then, i remember that for me, the act of giving, or caring for people IS being something to myself...
This happens to me even in gaming. I used to play a game called Fiesta Online. and in that game, i was a warrior, a kind of kill-bash character. One day, as i was fighting by myself, this high-level cleric came by and blessed me, giving me 4 times more health for an hour. It was a simple act which required less than a few seconds. But for me, i was so inspired by that act of random kindness that i deleted my warrior and created a cleric as well. I trained hard for a full month (the longest i spent on any MMORPG) before finally achieving the level required to cast that very same blessing. All around me, my friends were training hard and they out-leveled me, simply because of the fact that once i had that spell, training was no longer important to me. I would wander around noob areas, blessing random noobs. I might not get thanked 100% of the time, but deep down, i still feel glad i do it, because i know, i made a difference.
I know that i, as one mere teenager, cannot do enough to change the world in a lifetime, maybe even ten. But for me, that is no reason to be discouraged. I can still try my best.

White.
Laughter is the sound a person makes when they are happy. or at least, that is what most people think...
There is also a, what i call, the self-defense laugh. When one is hurt inside or just not in the mood to actually laugh, they will laugh a forced laugh in order to prevent others from knowing how they really truly feel... Had to do this alot since friday...
its 7:42am now. Joyhan should be here pretty soon... most likely will be changing teams today judging by faci's class comments for last week...

Best Friends.
Today's lesson was a relatively good day... Did pretty good PPT, with joyhan, sean, lucien. Good job, guys...
After lessons, walked home with her... As usual, felt really at ease just being with her... Sadly, somethings were said, and now, i realise, i can't be anything more than just a close friend... But if that is what she want, then i have to respect that...
Anyways, sean and some of the bro were laughing at my msn nick, which was meant for her... "Vivo per lei da quandro sai" which means "I live for her since i found her for the first time"
But anyways, the original song behind that nick, Vivo Per Lei, by Andrea Bocelli, is awesome.. found a vid on it where he dueted with Hayley Westenra,who sang in english mostly.

Home.
Home, according to dictionary.com, is "any place of residence or refuge".
Home, according to me, is "hell. The place where loneliness is amplified."
There is a reason why i come to school 2 hours early and go home as late as possible. The reason is simple. I hate being at home. What is there for me to look forward to at home? Rest? Nope. I can rest equally well anywhere. Company? Hell no. My parents and my sisters basically leave me alone all the time since they know i hate them. My brother, the only person i respect in the family, is pretty much out all the time, because he, too, cannot stand being at home.
For me, my real home is at RP. my second home is here. I just hate it here. Because i always feel so lonely, so cooped up... To those people who know the happy-go-lucky me from school, this is like the total opposite.
Holidays, please, be gone.

Good day.
From the moment Joseph walked into the class today instead of Rick, i had a pretty good feeling it was gonna be a good day.
A) I racked up another win in the W45H Winning Eleven League to retain my third position. (Yes, W45H-ians call me jimmy)
B) More people got into the CS matches. Joyhan, Indah, Sean, Adam and I had fun blasting each other today... though it was mainly bro sean blasting us... -.-
and...
C) for 3rd day in a row, WeiLiang aka william, Adam and I went to xbox room after class for WE matches or Fifa matches. Joy didnt go, so too bad. Out of 4 matches, i won 3. 2-0 5-0 3-0. William won 1, 2-0... though he blames it on the Wii girls and the librarian...
D) AS USUAL, Adam is sibeh lame. Make sean, william and i laugh on the way to cwp till we nearly crapped our pants. lame jokes abt Shaolin soccer there,adam.. -.-

Urgh
just like brother sean, us DIT students are having difficulties coping with what modules to take for year 2. Some other courses like DBC, that adam is taking, only got 2 choices, so quite straight forward, though lack of choices la... but us DIT people have like... i estimate something like 40 over ba... it's a tough choice man...
I wanna take Networking as my specialization... but the recommended one doesnt have Sales management as elective, which i do want...
The best so far i think is
"Recommended for DIT Networking Specialization + Marketing as Elective"
OR
"Recommended for DIT Wireless Specialization + Sales Management as Elective"
IT security specialization is out for me, because i feel that one like.. no hope la... not as in, im too lousy, as in the course too sian...
Really dunno how to choose leh... someone give me a sign... felix lee, hurry up and send us a sign...

High/Low day...
What an odd day.
I started off today, 17/11/08, in the worse possible mood. I was sick, i was tired. and i was bored of RP life... doing the same god damn thing day after day after day, can be bloody tedious. i was ready to call it quits and go home.
But for some bizzare reason, after i took joyce's panadol, i became bloody crazily high. laughing at small things. blah blah blah.
and the peak came at 2nd break, when me and sean played WE, omg man... best match of my life EVER, literally had me gasping for breath, especially with the "2 minutes till penalty henry goal" omg man... lol

The lack of a purpose.
Throughout my life, i have, on many many occasions, felt worthless, as though my existence was pointless. Today, however, was possible THE day when everything that i have felt was confirmed. i AM worthless.
I couldnt do anything at all today. I sat and watched in amazement at my teamamtes as joyhan explained the theory of the problem to them, and as i listened, i realised, i couldn't understand him.
Resigned to the fact that i couldnt understand others, i took out my pen and paper and tried to work it out on my own. But i failed to do so, time and time again.
In the end, all i had to present was the flowchart. THE FLOWCHART! It's like going up there and saying "good afternoon, we're team 4, and today's problem is blah blah blah." and then, the end. Sure, it seemed funny at first, but it really kinda sucks knowing that you can't do anything. Especially because i was a team-transfer. on team-transfer days, i always feel a need to do better, but i sucked. and let down the people who wanted me there.
I think shi min took pity on me and gave me a small calculation segment, and i thank her for that. I hope that one day, i might be able to redeem myself, but right now, sorry shi min, lucien, wei liang and elaine.

Double oh seven.
Went to watch Quantum of Solace with my friends. It was semi-decent. Basically, it has all the characteristics of a james bond film. Rooftop scenes, chase scenes, love scenes and the oh-so-typical "spotlight on him, swivel and shoot the audience" scene.
We also celebrated irv's birthday, happy birthday bro.
Dead exhausted. 3:37am... downloading doom 3, sean's recommendation.. hope it'll be good... also, going to cut my hair when i wake up later... its so long that it's become like a heat trap, microwaving my brain slowly.

Barack Obama
Today is one of the proudest day of my life, and the strange thing is that, whatever happened has nothing or little to do with me. Today is the day that Democrat Barack Obama became president of the USA. Even to those who know me to the core, not many will know that i have followed this campaign so closely, the rivalry between Obama and McCain, Biden and Palin was simply too exciting. I had goosebumps run through me as i listened to Barack Obama's wonderful Presidential Speech.
Here are some of my favourite quotes from it.
"Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America." -Addressing the unity of the nation with such a powerful statement, including everyone in it.
"Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America." -Acknowledges his creed of changing America, unlike what McCain would have done.
"I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nations next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy thats coming with us to the White House. And while shes no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you." -A long part, thanking everyone, his wife, his children, his campaign staff and most importantly, the citizens of USA.
"It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory." -Acknowledging the efforts of Democrats.
"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there." - His aim and target as the next POTUS.
"And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too." -Winning over the people who does not believe in him.
"And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if Americas beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope." -Acknowledging us, overseas folks, warning terrorists, offering aids to the good people.
"Yes We Can!" -His oh-so-simple creed yet so deeply affecting that it makes me wanna shout with the crowd.
As a person who has studied most of the speeches and 2 of the debates, all i can say that this is a deserved victory for Barack Obama, who won by a landslide. And i have a suspicion, that if Obama were white, the results would have been sealed up much earlier in the day.
Yes We Can!

As a person who has studied most of the speeches and 2 of the debates, all i can say that this is a deserved victory for Barack Obama, who won by a landslide. And i have a suspicion, that if Obama were white, the results would have been sealed up much earlier in the day.
Yes We Can!

Carlos santana and Chad Kroeger
Thanks to the both of them, i have managed to feel abit more upbeat, from their awesome song "Into the night" which is my blog song at this moment. it's really a good song, in my opinion...
Anyways, i realised, there is no point dwelling on it. I'll pick myself up, i'll move on, life might suck, but it has to go on, right? =D

I'm sick of it. I thought luck and chance was like a 50-50 kinda thing? Why is it that when it comes to my turn, luck and chance seems to go 99-1 against me? I am so sick of it.
I always do the wrong move at the wrong time. When im supposed to be serious (aka presentation time), i screw it up. When i'm supposed to mess up, i get too serious!
I always say things without thinking, resulting in disastrous consequences.
Even when i admitted to the girl of my dreams my feelings for her, i did so without thinking. Did i think about my chances? Did i think if she would like me? No. I just blurted it out like a god damned moron.
William and I had a good talk today which made me realise that maybe im not alone in my misfortune. Thank you, bro.
And sean, bro, if ure reading this, i really envy you, man. Not everyone can be so loved. Have a good wedding, pal.

Hey, hey yo, rappin' by the road!
Last night, went out with my bros from sec sch, kennie, irv, and kai. yong wei came too... We went to watch a movie called Lakeside Terrace. or is it lakeview terrace? cant remember la.
Kai wen was the one who organised the whole thing and he told me that the movie was an action movie.......... right......... except for the last 3 minutes, there was no action at all.... which led me and kai to say that "if this was a secondary school composition, teacher will confirm say it's out of point."
As an action movie, it sucked. but if you look at it as a kind of... weird psychotic neighbour kinda thing, then i actually quite like it.
We had a blast after the movie, teasin kai about his new gf... And me and kennie, we sang both our sec school songs as loudly as we could outside golden village for all to hear. i can still remember it word for word.
School rally song.: (sung during celebrations)
Come my brothers and sisters of yishun town,
with one voice, oh let us sing,
to keep our flags and colours flying high,
we pledge to make this our destiny.
Though the storms and trials of life may come as we strive towards our goals,
may the light of our spirit shine through.
we'll excel in heart body mind and soul.
yishun town, let this be our gift to you,
as we stand tall to face the challenge,
let all around us hear our cry as we shout,
WE WILL EXCEL
WE WILL EXCEL.
School song: (sung during assembly twice a week)
Together in work and in play,
in all our endeavours,
onward we shall go.
With a zeal to learn, and eagerness to serve
and a tenacity of purpose,
show our love and loyalty to country and school,
let's aspire to greater heights in all we do
onward onward we shall go,
yishun town will excel
onward onward we shall go
yishun town will excel.
*cough cough* so anyway.... as i was saying before i got to carried away, kennie and i promptly stuffed ourselves with double cheese burgers, so much to the point that when i woke up this morning, i felt like i was suffering from some kind of cheese burger hangover or something...
it was a great night. To the Bros of Yishun town sec sch, we who stuck together through all the shit and stuff, even when one of us was in the hosp, even when mr ong gave us shit and for all the terrible late nights in the DNT studio, we rock!

Games galore! Finally, i have games to play =D
Over the week, i have obtained
1) Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
2) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and it's 2 expansion packs, Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine.
3) Bully: Scholarship Edition
4) Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
5) Puzzle Quest: Revenge of the Warlords
6) World of Goo.
1) I have only just played the tutorial, but it seems like a really really good game =D (8.5/10)
2) I completed Oblivion countless times, but it's great storyline and HUGE world map always draws me back, furthermore, i have 2 new expansion packs to explore now. (9/10)
3) Bully is a good fun game from Rockstar. It plays rather similarly to Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto as well, just that its in a school setting, so instead of having cops to bust ur ass like in GTA, you now have prefects! And instead of weapons like guns, you have stuff like stink bombs, or you can give people wedgies, stuff like that. (8/10)
4) I must say, pro evo 09 is rather disappointing for me... sure, it looks better that its predecessors, but it's control configuration and the fact that you can't change it makes it nearly unplayable unless you have an extra left hand OR a controller. (4/10)
5) Puzzle quest is a game kinda like Bejeweled where you just match jewels of the same colour and stuff, but this one has a RPG-ish feeling, where your character can level up to learn spells that makes it harder for your enemy. Rather difficult because luck always seems to be on your opponent's side. I got it as a light game for, like, filling in gaps during lesson times when it can get boring. (7/10)
6) World of Goo is another game i got as a light game, but surprisingly, it is REALLY fun for me. It's a thinking game. Basically, you control some blobs of goo, and you can build them into a kind of net-like thing to make it grow taller so it can reach a pipe at the top. Sounds easy? it's not. Build too much and your net will be too heavy and collapse upon itself. It is a very gravity/physics-based game, minus the calculations. (8/10)

=)
I finally said it. And goodness, it feels great =) For weeks, i have been struggling with it and now its set free =)
Some people might question my judgement, but at the end of the day, i know that it is they who are losing out for not knowing this sweet wonderful person.
Whatever the outcome is, i am happy enough to have met her. =)

Nunca sabrás cuánto te quiero..Tu eres la chica de mis suenos...
Many people have asked me what it means, so just to lay it to rest, Nunca sabrás cuánto te quiero..Tu eres la chica de mis suenos... means "You will never know how much i love you... You are the girl of my dreams..."
Anyways, isnt it odd how when one is in love, a simple sms will suffice to make ur day? be it just a simple "good night" from that special someone or whatever it is, just never fails to brighten my day... =)
Holidays are boring. No new game to play =/

Pain and Confusion. These 2 are feelings that i don't like having... But in recent days, i have both at the same time...
I honestly don't know what is wrong... Is the problem with me? Did i do something wrong? If i didn't then what is causing all the problems?
The holidays have just started, and already, i want it to end...

Ghosts.
Lots to talk abt, so ill cut down on alot of misc info like how lessons went..
Nabilah intro-ed a game to me, and the class by relation, called Hotel 626. Its a very spooky game, only in the first part.
Anyways, that got me really on the topic of ghosts, especially since im downloading season 4 of Ghost Hunters. Asides from all the personal experiences of ghosts that i had in school, both in E35 and W45, i had quite a few others, though not first hand. And lately, its been making me both very interested and abit frightened at the same time.
I just went to suet's birthday celebration at west coast earlier, and nate and i went home together. But we got on the wrong bus, which instead of driving us to Jurong East mrt like we wanted it to, it drove us to Bukit Batok mrt. During the short journey from the bus stop to the mrt station, i could SWEAR i keep hearing footsteps behind me. But nothing was there. spooky... =(

High till kingdom comes!
After a totally sad, depressing and emo weekend, I have become Hyper High today. Goodness, lame jokes all over the place and just being generally totally noisy... wonder whats going on.. lol
Today was science.. and again, wasnt really sure how to do until the late part of second meeting when shanti gave a short explanation before i thought "orh, this is what we doing ah, chey, do before le ma."
then everything was a-okay after that.

Anyway, today, one of my dream swelled into an urge. I remember i told myself a long time ago that one day, i will learn to play Canon in D on the piano, guitar and violin. but sadly none of them has come true... but i shall try!

Yesterday
was maths... i really did want to stay.. but anyone who knows me knows that i cannot bring myself to stay if i contribute... because if i did stay without contributing, i would feel bad if i passed, getting grades that i dont deserve... morever, i was distracting adam, the only one who was actually doing any work, so i partialled and went to the library till school ended where jian de, xin, suet, simon, xing quan and kai tien all went to causeway point the celebrate nathan's birthday.
We went to pizza hut for dinner, had loads of fun!... will upload pictures another day...
kinda surprised me how expensive 2 reg and 1 large pizza is. about 80 bucks.. but JD said its cheap.. so maybe i dont go out enough to know yet...
Then we wandered around cwp abit and bought my razer earphones.. then XQ KT and nate had to leave, so it was just me, xin, suet, simon and jd.
Then we waited for xin's bf, ryan to come... missed him, man.. so long never see him... he used to come visit E35P so often that we were almost like family.
Anyway, we headed to jurong to play pool, but xin and ryan left before that =(
Simon forced me to play pool... only my second time. first with guidance. difficult la.. satisfying when the ball goes in.. but not my kinda game, as is evident by the 4 balls in 2 matches.
overall.. great night...
and... am i self centered??

Bah dum...
Days have passed, Weeks have flown by since my life as a W45Her.
I feel the class is great, many many nice people, and.. a small bunch of nasty ones...
Even though it is like that, i don't feel the motivation to come to school anymore... In sem 1, this was still fresh and entertaining... now the endless cycle is starting to feel really draggy and boring... I don't regret coming to RP, because i know lecture-style is really bad for me to learn, but yeah, it CAN get abit draggy at times...
Don't really know what to do these days... feeling really bored...

Its now or never!
Adding value to myself... What does it mean? Been pondering alot about that sentence... It seems like good advice, doesn't it?
Yeah, i think it is.. but i can't figure out what it means. Sure, it's just adding value to myself... but how do i do that? hmm...
And here, one of my great friends, took a picture of her search for "zigzagism" which is a term i anyhow invented because i was in denial that my abstract art is bad. lol.. found it quite funny.
anyways, starting to regret not going to school on monday... having slight withdrawal symptoms.. i miss PEOPLE... lol.. at home no one to talk to... except the songs blasting from my lappie...
Note to self: Buy earphones. Both the ones i use for my ipod and for my laptop are spoilt. again.

Enterprise and Science.
Yesterday was enterprise...
Was actually pretty interesting and fun... About economics, something that is quite common sense la... (if demand goes down, price obviously will go down also ma.. etc etc) Think enterprise is starting to become my fave of the week... communications has a chance to be my fave, but the faci is too boring... Cognitive has a chance because the faci is good but the problem is tooooooo hard... Science and maths, lol, dont even have to say. no chance at all.
The ent faci, rick, let me keep his economics book for the week so i can bring it to class next week so the class can use it when he's not around... He also gave a minority of us some after-school lessons about econs...
Today, science. and as i mentioned previously. it is FUCKING BORING. crappy faci crappy problems! it is one whole mountain of crap... And if i have to hear "vhat" or "vater" again, i swear to god, ill go insane! Thank god at least that my team presented first so we could rest early.
Phew... now... 5 days break up ahead and WoW is completing!

The first official mass msn convo of W45H! Gossiping session! Fun fun fun...Today was cognitive... Finally, i stayed for the whole day... And it was a good lesson.. about paradoxes... something im relatively familiar after all my crap about nothing = something...
It was a good fun day overall...
Have not been blogging as much, because im downloading WoW, to try out the 10 day trial.. and the downloader is a monster bandwidth eater.. so it takes ages to even load a blog... Hope it will be fun... shall put my plans to buy the Razer headsets on hold till then... dont wanna make a not-needed investment, dont we?
Enterprise tomorrow.. hope it'll be okay... my enterprise hasnt been good lately....

Enterprise
Today's lesson in enterprise talked abit about after-service, service that a company provides after u purchase their products, and i would like to say that Razer has THE best after-service i had ever had the fortune to come across... After purchasing my DeathAdder, i had sent an email to the President of Razer to tell him how great it was. In appreciation, he contacted the singapore branch of the company and told them to give me some freebies... =D
I don't know what's included in "some freebies" asides from a Razer Tshirt though... whatever, im still really looking forward to it =D

DeathAdder and the Goliathus!
Like i mentioned in my previous post, i bought the remarkable Razer DeathAdder mouse and since i had the money left over, i decided to buy a Razer Goliathus which is a mouse pad which increases the mice control.. there was a speed version of it, but i reckon the Adder is fast enough... They look just GORGEOUS!!!
The pic is abit blurry because my handphone cam sucks...
Also, just like with the Razer Krait, there was a certificate of authenticity. It says...
"Congratulations - There's no turning back.
The Razer DeathAdder is the first and most advanced right-handed kiling machine from the same undisputed leaders of gaming technology. It is here to redefine the ergonomic gaming mouse.
You're now officially part of the Cult of Razer and you own a page in the history of gaming - the Razer DeathAdder is built, component by component, by some of the most competent engineers this side of the universe.
From the Razer Boomslang to the Razer Copperhead and now the Razer DeathAdder... You are now Razer.
Happy Hunting."
Awesome, ain't it?
=D happy.

I love mice.
For a long time, i've been in possesion of one of the best mouse in history. No, not the kind that scurries around in trash, but the one that sits snug in your hands. The Razer Krait has been my companion for almost over a year. Now, anyone who calls themselves a "gamer" knows who razer is, they are the daddy of the gaming world, churning out mice and sound cards and such to give u an unfair advantage over ur opponents.
This is my beloved Razer Krait, whom people in E35P will know that i named as Sally. (my laptop's name is Adam, but i dont call him that anymore, cuz theres a adam in w45h.)
It has served me exceptionally well for so long. Now however, i need to carry on the promise i made a long time ago, and that is to own every mice that razer ever made. sooo my next target is...
The Razer DeathAdder.... Checked it out after tuition today, its $89, just nicely in my budget... even though it is not a huge step over Sally, i must have it because it looks cooler and simply more efficient. I decided to name it Vincent, lol...
Watch out for it over the next few days =D

What Jiemin Means |
 You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. |
Quite true for the most parts, i think O.o

Live Aid
Was at home for the most of today... and was on youtube most of the time watching one of my favourite shows, Whose line is it anyway? laughed alot...
And watched a few other videos that got me thinking "wow, jie min, you're really selfish.." what kind of vids were those? it was those kind abt people in africa or in need of help... it's really saddening to see such a thing... sigh...
anyway i realised, after missing one full day of school, that i miss my class, both old and new... lol... guess that means the new class is starting to bond ba... =)

E35P Men's Night, September 11 2008.
Today is Enterprise module.... not too bad... had a good team which worked well and played well... Faci Rick Low wasn't too demanding today, and the problem wasn't too hard... What i was really looking forward to though was men's night!
And my goodness, it was one of the best night i ever had (which is usual of men's night) Kenneth, Sherman, Jian De, Siong, Nathan and Simon went. Although sherman left halfway... The rest of us had mountains and mountains of laughs sharing anecdotes and playing "Run Kitty Run" with each other as well as counter strike... And then...
They discovered my webcam had been enabled... earlier in the day by my classmate, joyce, so i suggested, "hey, why not take a photo?" and of course, kenneth being kenneth, couldnt resist goofing off.
Here's him, kissing his shoe.
And here's him again, being gay.
And... him again... being... umm... well.. i dunno what's he being...
According to him, he say's he supposed to be a stroke victim here.. but umm...
Finally... a normal picture... lol... The e35p men's night sep 11 2008, total success! =)

5Days with WASH
today is day number 5 with W45H... Surprisingly, i feel that i have settled in rather well... though i still do miss E35P deeply =/ oh well, at least we have a Men's Night tomorrow =D
Anyways, today is Communications module and the faci is soooo slaaaack.... always release us so early~~~~~ its good in a slack sense... but for modules like culture-comm, i think i'd prefer a more hardworking yet enthusiastic faci, like my old one...
My old enterprise faci, Andy, and Culture faci, Yee Lin. They happen to be married. =)
The two best facis of E35P! Wish they were still teaching me...

Had a fun day... Men's Night tomorrow.. can't wait...

Post number 100!
lol, the 100th post since my blog started will be used to change my blog's song from Nickelback's If Anyone Cared to Far Away, also by Nickelback (yes, im in love with them.)
It's a really beautiful song to me, and i love some parts of the lyrics, especially the chorus.
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore...
How nice, though i'm not currently in love with anyone, but it's still a nice thought... and then...
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know...
before going into the chorus again... It is just so... hmm.. my kinda song, i think...
Happy 100 post, www.pegasusjm.blogspot.com!

Lol...
anyway, it's night time now, 8:02pm, listening to Hero by Nickelback.
Today was my first Maths and computing lesson... it was okay la, was very easy, in fact, but quite dry... could've hoped for a more intersting faci, but this one is okay too, i guess...
Had Wei Liang, Elaine and Jevini in my team today, great people who know when to play and work... Am rather surprised Jevini is addicted to solitaire (she was playing it during the whole day)...
good normal day =)

Tired...
Its 2:25am now... why am i up so late? it is because i was out for a class gathering for my secondary school... saw many of my old classmates, caught up with them and surprised a few with the new me...
It was supposed to be a barbeque, but just as the fire started in our pit (after about an hour or so), it rained -.- We then retreated to a shelter where we all crammed inside there and tried to start a fire in an aluminium tray, which succeeded several times, but the flame went out either to the wind or because of someone depriving the wind of oxygen...
So after awhile, me and a few other friends who live in yishun retreated and went back home... Kennie and i rested at a coffee shop and had supper/dinner of noodles and chatted abit before continuing under my void deck, where he had some really silly things to clear up about the story that he was writing... just reached home and showered... really tired... just waiting for my hair to dry before i go sleep... =/

Yesterday~
was science.... and my goodness, the faci............................. i really wanted to ask "madam, are u speaking english? cuz i cant understand a word you say with that HEAVY accent that you have."
Either ways, the problem was straightforward for me, but getting there was not... Alot of tables to fill up.. and at 2pm, i realised one of the earlier tables i filled up was wrong! and as a result, the other later tables all wrong! omg la, stressed....
Anyways, i think im finally starting to settle into class, with friends like joyce, elaine, lucien, etc etc, all nice people... =) but like my friend Xin said, "I don't think any of the class in RP will ever be as close as our first class"
Anyways, after lessons, i was initially supposed to go home, but my best friend, xin who was from E35P (im writing this extra line because its no longer ONLY e35p people who read this), needed some company... so i stayed behind with her till 9:30pm and we had a long heartfelt talk about everything... It was really enjoyable and it just felt great being able to get troubles out and share it with people... =)
Anyways, its saturday today, and i got a secondary school class gathering later.. hope everything will go well...

2nd day of being a WASHer (W45Her), had a great day today... my team today had lucien, indah (think thats how u spell it), elaine and joyce again...
Had great fun with them, glad to see that i had not reverted back to my former self during the holidays... Great people, especially lucien, who kept going to the toilet to make "soya sauce"
lol, anyway, today as i was walking home by myself listening to If Everyone Cared by Nickelback on my iPod, i realised that the sun was setting, so i sat on the grassy slope near my house and just gazed at it, with the wind blowing at me.
It was then, that i came to realise, that even after all the shit i've been through in my life, even though im confused as to why i exist, at the end of the day, i still feel thankful that i am alive... i can't explain how i came to feel this way, it was just a feeling welling up inside me as the song played and the sun set.
As the song says, Amen, im alive... =)

My team today consisted of Yen Xi, Nabilah and Joyce, pretty nice people, quite high too, especially nab and joyce...

Here we go now!
New school sem begins tomorrow... Shedding my skin of E35Pian to wear the new skin of W45Hian!
Truth be told, i dont know what to feel right now, lol... Sad to be leaving so many good friends behind.. yet at the same time excited to make new ones... But then again, some of u e35pians would know that i have a rather abrasive sense of humour, so its not a given fact that ill make new friends at all... But whatever... What will come, wil come and who am i to stop it?
Chapter 2 of my new life, begins...

Back to basics...
Today was the day Yishun Town Secondary School celebrated teacher's day with the usual concert put up by students. I forgot to take any photos, because, simply put, the standard of the Graduating Class' Performance section has increased dramatically...
When it was the year for my class to perform, people would be impressed with just a song and a dance like my class. (My class was chosen as the grand finale) But this year, wow, not only are the song choices better, dance better and girls better-looking (=P), but its just that overall the mood of the whole thing has increased dramatically, like break dancing, hip hop, etc etc... it was splendid, better than anything i had glimpsed in my 5 years of life in that demented place. Or maybe, things just look better sitting on CHAIRS at the back of the hall on those prestigious Alumni Chairs as compared to sitting cross-legged on the floor, which is a major pain in the a**.
Anyway, caught up with some of my teachers and friends after that... Also saw the horror-of horror, Mr Ong KW... He who made my DNT class have no June Holidays at all.. Or Sep Hols too, i think... Or saturdays as well... Half-day holidays dont exist for him as well, as he'll insist we go back to do our folios...
As much as i hated him back then, as i shook his hand today and told him what course i am pursuing in RP, i can't help but remember the conversation i had with my good pal, kennie, a while back... In that conversation, we realised that after graduation, everything that we hated suddenly feels so important to us...
In the past, I hated going to school because it was too binding, do this, do that kinda thing... People telling us what to do everywhere. Now, however, i have freedom in poly, i can choose if i want to go to school or not... If i dont go to school, no one will care, because it's my future that i am messing up.
Also, life without school rules feels a little directionless... in the past, in sec school, there was time tables for us to follow, now there is nothing. We do what we want, when we want, where we want... Sure, it seems fun for awhile, but after awhile, i started feeling like lost sheep...
So maybe, rules are better for us after all...
Either way, i enjoyed today... =)

I... Am... Legend...
I just finished watching I Am Legend, starring Will Smith. For the first time in many many years, I had tears in my eyes...
Many of us have gone through a phase of saying "We're lonely, nobody cares or loves us." I, too, have gone through such a phase, because it just seems "cool" to be "emo or gothy", seems "cool" to think that we are alone "wandering the earth till the end of time".
It took me this movie, this splendid movie which i rate 9.5/10, -0.5 because i felt it was too short, to realise that what i did in that phase was stupid. Yes, i said i was lonely, yes, i said i was unloved. But i knew that any moment, i could reach out for the phone to message someone, chat on msn with my friends, with people who care for me.
In the movie, New York city is being quarantined and everyone has to leave, except the character Will is playing. He, pushed his family away from the city for their safety so that he could fight the "zombie virus" alone...
The only companion he had was a dog... and some mannequins, can u believe that? mannequins...
And the dog, dies halfway through the movie... That, dear readers, is true loneliness... I'm not saying that we're never lonely, of course, fact is, im lonely right now, but i know that if i wanted to, i could call some of my friends to go out with me... Will's character on the other hand doesnt even have that option.
What indeed is loneliness?

In the movie, New York city is being quarantined and everyone has to leave, except the character Will is playing. He, pushed his family away from the city for their safety so that he could fight the "zombie virus" alone...
The only companion he had was a dog... and some mannequins, can u believe that? mannequins...
And the dog, dies halfway through the movie... That, dear readers, is true loneliness... I'm not saying that we're never lonely, of course, fact is, im lonely right now, but i know that if i wanted to, i could call some of my friends to go out with me... Will's character on the other hand doesnt even have that option.
What indeed is loneliness?

boo hooo...
Interesting day today... My sister cried today... Why? Because i refused to buy lunch for her... -.-
then she started screaming abt how "Don't say that your family don't love you when you are the one who don't love your family."
For once, i backed out of this argument and just kept quiet, because i know that she's right. I don't give a rat's fuck abt my family. As far as im concerned, as long as they give me pocket money for as long as i need it and provide me with somewhere to sleep, then im fine.
its really quite funny how my sister established her position. you see, yesterday night, she asked me to go buy dinner, but i said "later" because i wasnt hungry yet. Since she was hungry, she went to buy lor, so she bought my share too. Nice right? ya, i agree, even though i didnt ask her to.
So today, she used that as a "weapon", u know, lol.. so li hai... she said "I bought dinner for u last night u also cant buy lunch for me today." lol...
Its not my fault that that fat whore gets hungry so fast. i told her "if u want me to buy for u, then wait until im hungry, then ill buy for both of us." but she insisted i go just to buy for her, which got a firm "No" from me.
God, i can be such an asshole sometimes, right? yep.. but that's what makes me, me.... take it or leave it.

Confusing stars for satellites.
One word for today. Uneventful.
Basically, nothing interesting happened at all.
I read up on more background information of FateStayNight, because me and one of my friends are gonna start writing a FSN story soon. It'll probably be interesting then, but quite boring to research on. I think i did more research today than i did in the whole semester 1.
Asides from that, really, nothing... zzzzz...

Explaining innocence?
I watched a movie today, Harold And Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay. There was one scene in which the 2 titular characters were arrested for something which they did not commit, which led me to think abt my own scenario...
Recently, i was accused of betrayal from a friend whom expected an explanation about what i did. Normally, i would give an explanation, no problem at all. But in this case, i was totally innocent which was why i had a lack of response, because seriously, im innocent, what do i have to explain?
It's just like in the TV shows, the innocent guys will explain to the cops that they were innocent, but it will usualy end up pointless because no one will believe them anyway, so i thought to myself "I know i'm innocent. I didn't do anything, i don't owe anyone any explanation."
Ok, back to pointless day to day kinda things. The movie was pretty good, made me laugh abit here and there, something i need, cuz i just cant seem to recover from my shitty illness.
Also finished Tsubasa chronicles Season 1 this morning (finally -.-), i realised after downloading TCS1 for abt 5 times in 2 years, that i have never finished watching it mainly because in the middle of it, somewhere near episode 10, theres this really really boring patch. I always stop there... However, since its the hols now and i have nothing else better to do, i braved through the boring patch and finished it, which was good, cuz the ending parts were pretty good... dont think ill download the other seasons though... zzz....
I think ill get started on an anime kennie gave me. School Rumble... Would start on Clannad first but my friend said its kinda sad and emo, which im not in the mood for these days, so school rumble it is.... =)

New song...
Changed the song from Jyukai's Hikari to Nickelback's If Everyone Cared... Love the lyrics... lol...
Especially the chorus...
Especially the chorus...
"If Everyone Cared"
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)
[Chorus x2]
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...
[Chorus]
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)
[Chorus x2]
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...
[Chorus]
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
Thank you.
Today, 2 of my sec sch friends came over... Kennie came over first and we exchanged some anime... Gave him ghost hunt and the last 2 episodes of FSN, which he didnt have as his lappie ran out of batt the last time i gave it to him. He gave me Clannad and School Rumble in return. Hope it's nice...
I also downloaded Zohan and Goal 2, both rather nice movies...
Spent the most of the night scouring the internet for songs that i should get, because frankly, im getting bored of those songs that i have... i'll change the song for my blog soon too.. not sure to what yet...
Still got remnants of a cough, really bugging me...
Today as i just woke up at abt 7, a thought occured to me, a very random one, but rather interesting to me... "If someone does something wrong, even though he had good intentions in his heart, is it still wrong?"
For example, Andy sees this man, Bob, just about to kill a girl, Candy. And due to that fact, Andy steps in and kills Bob to stop him from killing Candy. Now, we all know that killing someone is wrong. But in this case, is what Andy did right or wrong? People will say it's wrong as it is wrong to kill people, but some will say that it is right, because he was saving a life.
lol, again, im not sure what the conclusion is here, but it just got me interested thinking abt it for awhile... lol...
I don't know why, but blogging's been feeling really nice for me lately, like a friend i can talk to in my times of silence, lol...
The truth is that, sometimes, there are just somethings that i don't write here in my blog... like my worries, or angers... I generally don't like sharing things like these, so i usually just keep it to myself...

cough cough...
Sore throat is almost almost ALMOST okay now... but i still have a bad cough... been spending the past few days totally absorbed in my new games Prison Tycoon 3 and Max Payne 2... Didn't think of blogging till when i died in MP2 like 7 times in a row, lol...
For some strange reason, this few days, ive been listening to the song, A Whole New World over and over again, which is Disney's Aladdin theme song... It was always my favourite disney song since i was a kid... lol...
Random... -.-
Dunno why, as im typing this, i turned to my left and looked at the Graduation Cohort photo pasted on my cupboard... It made me think about my secondary school days... And i wonder, IF i could go back to who i was in sec school, would i?
Back then, i was emo and quiet, and had few friends. But those few friends were very... solid friends... we were very tight knit and never apart... No doubts about each other or anything, total faith and trust...
here, the new me, i have tons and tons of friends... more then i could ever want... but when i look at every single one of them, with the sole exception of xin, no one has come even close to emulating the bond that me and my sec sch friends had.
This brings to mind the cliched 3 words. "Quality or quantity?"
Each has its own pros and cons, of course... but... for me, im the type of person who prefers to have a small group of friends that i can totally invest my trust in, than a group of people whom i "divide" my trust amongst...
Of course, i love my friends, my class... But it was just a food for thought... If i could go back to what i was, would i?
i asked my sec sch friend, who, like me, was very emo but is now very friendly, that precise same question... and he answered without hesistation that he would. He would give up his large quantity of friends for his quality friends.
Interesting thought, no?
It's strange... i love E35P for being my friends... but it's like, my "friendship point" has to be divided amongst 22 people now, as compared to the 3-5 people in sec sch, which results in a weaker friendship indivdually BUT a stronger friendship overall... lol...
Conclusion? there is none, lol... just saying that i love both my new friends and my old ones.
