Argh… I’d forgotten the birthday of one of my dearest friends. Damn it! How could I have forgotten?? Just a week ago I was thinking to myself that it’s approaching and I’ll at the very least call or sms. It’s now 30th May and I’m two days late. Damn it!
I really need some ginko nuts...

some stuff inspired by Jenn...
I was reading Jenn’s blog and her post about Japanese lessons in NUS, and it triggered memories of my own. I got the same teacher as you Jenn! I got Xia Qian… but I wasn’t really happy with her lah. Three different tutorials, three different tutors. Frankly speaking, only the TA tutor was a good teacher. TB tutor was xia qian and I can’t quite remember the name of the TC tutor except that he’s a Taiwanese guy. Reason being I don’t really go for TC tutorials. Haha… I think I only went for 3-4 TC lessons the whole semester. Japanese lessons as a whole didn't really register in my brain. It was a series of lectures I didn't go for and tests I'd forgotten to study for. Not to mention homework that I didn't do. =_= Of course I did some of it... I'm not really that suicidal in my second semester. That came later in my NUS life. =_=
Surprisingly, TB lessons were the ones I enjoyed the most. I guess it’s because of the crazy tutorial mates I met there. There were two from the Taekwondo Club, the then vice-captain and another girl. And I'm the "crazy girl" from Kendo (according to him lah. That idiot. =P). We got along famously. Maybe it’s because we’re all from martial arts clubs and we could grouse about the useless sports club together. In any case, I’d forgotten his name now, and I’ll bet that he had forgotten mine coz we usually call each other “xiao eh!” meaning crazy. I still see them the year following the Japanese lessons on some of the training days. Haha…the reason I remembered them is coz I’ll usually be paired up with the crazy guy for Japanese conversation. =_= which meant that I’ll have to endure his crazy and inventive, not to mention loud interpretation of what the conversation is supposed to sound like.
Another classmate I remembered was this tall guy. It was kinda awkward because I had chided him prior to the start of the first class for smoking in AS3. Imagine my shock when he walked in and sat next to me when class commenced. Haha… but we got over that little bit of unpleasantness soon enough. He's the only guy I know that has a bike that cost cheaper than his helmet! Haha... incredulous as it sounds, it's all true! But I can't really remember his name now. =P
Charles told me that I’ll regret it if I don’t drop the module. He took the same module the previous semester. But I was stubborn and well, I paid the price for my stupidity I guess. All in all, it was an eventful class, though the grade I got for this module pulled down my CAP. Damn it! =P I wish I’ll be able to see my tutorial mates again someday… but I don’t much relish being called “xiao eh” in the middle of the street. =_=

Oh... the things I do for money...
Today’s class totally drained me. Now I understand how nat felt last week. Argh… the kids acted like little gangsters and they’re still so tiny! I can sweep them aside with one flick of my arm. And they still want to act tough. It’s so laughable that it’s no longer funny. And so, I decided to relax for a while after the lesson instead of rushing home to go for training. Paisay ah estee… I promised that I’ll go and I didn’t in the end. Gomenasai! >_<
New assignment starts on Monday. Argh… I’m so not looking forward to it. I have to do all nine of the activities with the kids. Unlike Nat, that lucky gal… only has to do the same three activities on all three days. There’s one that’s more distasteful than the rest. It involves measuring the legs of little frogs. =_= I sure hope the kids don’t kill em man. Little kids can be so rough sometimes.
Still, the money will be good. I just hope I don’t die of high blood pressure at the end of the three days. There’s a reason why I don’t want to teach in a primary school. Little kids freak me out. =_= I don’t know how to handle them. One moment they’re cute as hell, the next I want to throttle them. I wonder how on earth I'm going to survive the three days. Still, I think I'm going to be a happy gal come Wednesday! =P

One Year Old!!
*throws confetti into the air*
Today’s the 1st anniversary of my blog! I can’t believe one year has gone by so quickly. The main motive for the setting up of this blog was to get gmail invites, back in the time when no one had gmail and gmail invites were hard to come by. Haha…Of how in the beginning, only J knew I had this blog, then it spread to the kendo peeps, then to my honours classmates. I never intended to keep the blog for long. But somehow, it became a habit to rant and rave in it. =_= Here’s a happy birthday to me blog and hope that there’ll be many more ahead! =)

老了就是这样
I wanted to go for the Kata session on Saturday. Honest! But I only remembered it on Sunday. One of my juniors said this to me over msn... "老了就是这样"
Hurt me deep deep. T_T
I just need more ginko nuts... but I'm young at heart!
Heh. Speaking of ginko nuts... that sort of reminded me of something J said. Think it was from some book J read.
"Everyone should take their daily dose of ginko and viagra. So they can remember what the fuck they're doing."
=p

On a happier note…
Well… coz I was so upset over the manga…I went to watch some anime… Eyeshield 21 is about American Football… *pui* such a primitive game… but the anime is funny!!
Hee hee… Hiruma is a hell of a character! YA-HA!!
Hee hee… Hiruma is a hell of a character! YA-HA!!
T_T
Went a little crazy during the Kino sale and bought the whole set of the manga (even though it’s in English) and prof F’s new book. Spent too much… as usual. T_T
But I was not the craziest. Para spent nearly 400 bucks… just on mangas… my eyes went @_@ when I saw the amount on the cash register. I guess people get to spent more when they’ll working, and she saved a lot because of the 20% discount. She introduced me to the textbook counter in popular! I didn’t know they sell book covers of every size there….they even measure your books for you. Wah… revelation! Heh. I learn something new everyday.
I feel like bawling my eyes out now!!!! Just finished reading The Demon Ororon vol 4. It just gave me the “what the hell!??” kinda feeling! How could he have died? And nothing’s been resolved! But the last few pages were beautiful… beautifully sad. T_T
I’m shaking with frustration now… I just hate it when mangas or books don’t end the way I want them to.

Wahahaha... Kitty finally wore the tee we got for him a few years back. FINALLY!! Heh. Met up with him on Wednesday at Singapore Post and we saw the "love" of his life in macs. Hehe... he was so shakened by the sight that he refused to come out of LJS for quite a while. I think his knees were weak with LOVE! I told him I'll blog bout it. Sigh... coz of the BT, my mood's gone... so it shall be a short post.
Posted by Hello
T_T
The cycle of hate continues… my BT is still not done!!! 97% and 0kib/s….it’s utterly frustrating I tell you. J said that I should chart the number of times I complaint bout BT on my blog, and that faith and willpower will make the download go faster… but I guess it’s useless… nothing’s going to make my speed any faster. I’m just staring at the download now… @_@
It’s not moving…T_T
SR understands my pain... he's going through it now. =_= But knowing misery is shared doesn't make it easier... I’m such an idiot! Told J no need to burn Gokusen for me coz my download will finish by the time I’m home. I’m such a goondu! I could be watching it right now instead of watching the download not move… =_=
Met Hen, Ra and Nat for lunch today in town… As usual, I was the first one there. Hen was late for ½ hour while the girls were late for a whole hour!!! =_= Hen came up with some fantastical story bout a bomb on the bus, and that’s why the bus can’t travel above 50km/h. After that he was held up when he helped a pregnant woman give birth. His story got even more absurd when he tried to explain for Ra and Nat by saying that German terrorists entered the bank that they were in and held them hostage… WTH! Hahaha… he’s full of crap man… didn’t really do much except ate, talked and laughed.
The buffet at Merchant Courts was not THAT fantastic… but their desserts were good!!! The durian was especially good. I think J had about 5 or more scopes of durian… pure durian, not ice-cream. Haha… but I guess for the same price, Crystal Jade Palace’s food is better, though it’s not a buffet.
After dinner we went for a beer at one of the micro brewery nearby while SR showed us the pictures he took in Canada. Got to sample lots of different types of beer… but they all taste the same to me. All not nice. =_= *Pui* Well… maybe except for the first one. Golden Ale or something to that effect.
Tried on the fisherman’s trousers Ra got for me in Bangkok… realised that I don’t know how to wear… Ra… help… T_T

=_=
My eyes are like this now…I’ve slept less than two and a half hours and the prospect of more sleep is not very good right now because I want to watch the stuff I got from J last night. So many things to watch… ahhh… decisions decisions…
The reason for the sleep deficit’s coz of the signing of contract at MOE this morning… I had to take a cab back from the “wasteland” back home at 7plus FREAKING am!! And we had to wait so long to sign the bloody thing… met Chris and Shuhuei there as well. They came earlier and also had to wait for a damn long time…
Think I’ll look through the NIE package for a while before I watch all my anime/J-Drama! =)
One Piece… Gakuen Alice… Naruto… Trinity Blood… Yakitate Japan… Lunch no Oujou…
Ahhhhhhhh… it feels real good to be done with school!

The desire to share…. Or the lack there of…
Went out with J today. As usual, we were our gleefully greedy selves. Ordered too much food, so much so that we can’t finish our stuff... (what else is new right? =_=) The left-over amount of waffles on both our plates would have made up a complete one. Oh if only we learnt how to share… we would have saved ourselves much money and the agony of trying to finish the excess food. =P
Lesson of the day: learn to share food. =P
On a happier note, tomorrow is payday!! I’m finally seeing something for the times spent at CP. Feeling good! Woohoo!~

Yosh!!
After Monday’s and Wednesday’s trainings, my old bones are aching… but I guess I got to get pass this stage if I want to get back my stamina. T_T But it was good. I missed trainings and I missed the people there. Well, some of them at least!
Well, on a happier note, I met er jie and he passed me the stuff they helped me buy in Japan! Woohoo!~ I totally love my new shinai!! The grip is so much shorter than my current one… that means I can grip it better with my short arms. =_= and its super light!! Again as compared to my current one which is heavier than a guy’s shinai. =_= Thanx a lot to dear monkey for helping me get the shinai! =) I think I’ll trouble you more in future! Wahahahahaha…
And so, I was oohing and ahhing over my shinai the whole night last night and my mum thought I was weird. She said girls my age will obsess over boys or clothes or anything feminine, but I’m fixated over 4 pieces of bamboo tied together… well, putting it in that way it does sound kinda weird. But I do obsess over other stuff mah... like Daniel Wu and Johnny Depp. =P

He's the perfect man...
Just went to watch the movie "Divergence". What a rubbish movie. Good acting by some of the actors but Aaron Kwok's character seems somewhat overkill... the redeeming feature of this film would have to be Daniel Wu. His rating is way up there in my list of guys to shag with Johnny Depp and well.... Johnny Depp. =P He's just so cute!

Restless
Everything’s over but I’m not as ecstatic as I thought I would be. I’m feeling rather restless actually. The feeling that I want to do something yet I don’t know what to do.
Argh....
Think I’ll go spend some money, or maybe I should clean up my room.

Onwards to the next stage!!!
We were the best of pals back then. But we haven’t kept in touch for ages. My fault I would say. Now, reading her blog, it made me feel sort of sad and melancholy. We’re like living in different worlds. We could almost pass off as strangers. And yet, my life wouldn’t have been the same had I not met her in JC. Haha... perhaps my grades might have been significantly better. =P
Then again, maybe not. =P
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I feel as though I’ve remained stagnant while she moves on with life. I feel as though I’ve been left behind. And yet, I can’t say that life remained totally stagnant for me. There are things and people that are very important to me in the past few years, experiences that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. I don’t want her life but I’m definitely ready to move on with my own.
Then again, maybe not. =P
