Hoegaarden

Alright butterflies, I wanted to bring the 3 bottles of Hoegaarden to school for the party after Commencement, but my Dad took it for himself :(.... (Blogger still don't let me post pictures!!)

Argh!!!

Stupid blogger!! I can't post my pictures at all.....

Now and Then, Here and There

"No matter where you are, no matter what adversities you face as long as you got your life something good is bound to happen. Something so totally awesome that would make up for all the bad stuff. Sure, it can get pretty tough in the meantime, I don't quite know how to put it but... you know.. um... Well, there you have it." Shu, from Now and Then, Here and There.

I have been watching two terrific animes, first was Le Chevalier D'Eon and the second one was Now and Then, Here and There. Le Chevalier D'Eon is a loosely based historical anime with good and animation and the music is so captivating. The conspiracies leading to the French revolution with the story revolving around D'Eon de Beaumont is really amazing with all the supernatural involved. Production I.G. (the team that brought Ghost in the Shell animation, someday I hope to cosplay the Motoko) never let me down! The next was Now and Then, Here and There, the story is thought provoking and very inspiring. Seeing how Shu overcomes his adversities with his optimism and the challenges he faced brought tears to my eyes on countless occasions. Recently, someone asked me on my msn nick, on why I can believe that the universe conspire to give me the best. I am sure obstacles are there to make our life worth living. It won't be to naught, the obstacles are there so that we can be better equipped to achieve greater things when the right opportunity comes along. Although, the design and graphics is quite cartoon for this show, the story makes up for it totally! The pace of both the shows were equally good, as for originality I would say Now and Then, Here and There has the upper hand and it is undoubtedly a show meant for mature audience. Both are higly reccomended! If you prefer something short watch Now and Then, Here and There, which has only 13 episodes (I finished in half a day), or if you want good graphics aim for Le Chevalier D'Eon. すばらしい!

Updates for the month

Haven't been diligently blogging for quite awhile. Since did not make any interesting travels or had much motivation to blog. Oh ya and I told someone that I will blog more only after I found a job. So I have a job offer! Yeah!! Will be going down to the office this coming Friday to see the letter of appointment. Pretty excited about it! More importantly, that is the end of my job hunt! Yippee!! So update for this month. First week of June was playing host to my relatives from Malaysia and we went to the zoo!! Met up with good friends and chilled out as usual. Haven't been exercising though. Had an accident and went to the A&E in NUH in an ambulance, but luckily was alright in the end. Went to East Coast to cycle, felt really good with all the aching after that. Well more importantly, I am going to my graduation trip!!!! So excited and can't wait for it. Keep a look out for it! :D

American Idol season 8 (2009)

Arkansas student Kris Allen wins "American Idol" (http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSTRE54K09020090521)

This title screams of the new American Idol of 2009, and well I am truly disappointed. Just felt that in a competition, the best person should win, but there were so many instances in American Idol (previous seasons) that was not the case. I am swearing off AI (for the fifth time!!!). First was when Clay Aiken didn't win, then followed by Bo Bice, and then Merlinda Doolittle, and then now Adam Lambert!! But the worse should be Chris Daughtry, cause he didn't even make it to the top 3!! I think this is a curse. As I was browsing Wikipedia, on the past seasons of AI, I realised none of the winners were actually my favourite for the season, with the exception of season 1, cause here they didn't broadcast it.  When I sweared off AI, I actually kept true to it for some seasons, and as for this year I only started watching from the last 4. 

My favourite performance by Adam Lambert.

Graduation? More anxiety to come...

This semester I took four modules in grand total! Well, they are design 2, food technology, introduction to Japanese studies, and HR, overall it was quite enjoyable except for design 2. Reason being, my requirement was changed in the course of the project, and frankly speaking the group communication was a bit disappointing. This semester, I am glad that I found another good friend which is Miss Erlinda (ha ha, if you are reading this I think you will think it is odd that I mention you like this). Anyway, this semester I took exactly the same modules as her, and did quite a few projects together. This semester also allowed me to enjoy my happy "two days week" as a final semester student and because of it JT and Marilyn complained that I was a little withdrawn throughout the semester. I will  agree to that statement to a large extent. While I was in school I spend quite a lot of time chatting, complaining, discussing, rejoicing, learning etc. with PF during lunch, and while I was not in school I spend my time on tuition, job hunting, and trying to lose weight (ha ha!). 

Of course, this semester was the time when I learned that relationship is a very taxing affair. SM, do you know how much time I invested on you?!?! Anyway this added a whole new dimension to my life, as it was relaxing, enriching, painful, tiring, stressful, joyful experience. Overall, it was just something novel for me. I trod the uncharted territory with many insecurities but was assured over and over again that it was safe. There are times that I am sure, but certainly more than ever I was doubtful. But now that you are back, I have to learn to let go of it, and well it takes time but I know that there are always those who love me to help me through.

Finally after this four gruelling years, where I had to not only cope with the unbelievable workload from school and work, I am able to feel the graduation ceremony within reach. It is something that I am certain, many of my peeps are more than happy to be at. However, God has decided to be a little cheeky, and in one of my modules, managed to assail me and well it was a job well done. It was almost laughable, when I had to repeat my situation to the administrator. Luckily, in the course of that unbearable week I had a group of friends to rely on. Thankfully, with the help of PF, HY, Ah Li, SJ, JX, CYS, I was able to pull through this situation. Also, I am extremely glad that the personnel from my department office gave me invaluable input for me to change this losing battle. Holly shit! If it was the ex-administrators of my department, they would have given me hell and made the losing battle into a total devastating defeat. All those peers, if you have dealt with those ex employees, you would know what I meant. I was unable to keep my cool, and in the end I vented my anger on someone so dear to me, that I felt so sinful after that. But frankly speaking, if I did not let it out and bottled my feelings some more, it would be disastrous, as my thoughts were getting too extreme for me to handle. In due time, if unresolved, it would be heading for the rocks. I could only pray that after today's incident, that I can salvage the situation as much as possible. 

Today, the time spent with my cousin was well worth, and we did various things to chill out together. The bulk of it was spent in KTVing in Newway, it was just a great experience, the only glitch was with the remote control, that seemed to enjoy having a mind of its own in controlling the volume of the music and mic. -_-111 The price there was unbeatable as well, service, ambiance and quality was great for its value! The both of us managed to drown in each others voices for four hours. Pitching problems was not an issue as both of us were in the same boat. In a bell curve, our flaunting of the rules of proper singing together would entitled us to pass it anyway. After which, we went to style our hair and went back to the initial ones. So now I'll be spotted with a student cut and she is a spunk rock. Well, hopefully with this more manageable hair, I'll be revamped and showered with more good news. I love to chat with her as well, as the certain unmentionable things would be alright for me to talk to her about. 

Tomorrow, I hope things will be a blast! Also, this certain someone better start replying me, cause I am getting a little impatient now!

(P.S. PF, I hope things will go your way tomorrow!)
