Finally!

That is to the fact that I got David Cook's CD after hearing it on iTunes for so long, and it's awesome!! I wondered why didn't advertise on TV, but oh well...YES!! I got it!! I uploaded the music when I got home when I bought the CD, and I have definitely some favorites on the CD!!!
Can't wait for his next album, and I am also looking forward to Daughtry's next CD too!! YEAH!!

The mini viva presentation is over as well, and I can finally be relived, but a whole lot of work will have to be started on come Monday. I was the first one speaking for the presentation, among the rest of my teammates. I was probably speaking too fast, because, one, we were called down much earlier to present than the allocated timing, and we haven't finished debugging the program. It went well, and there were quite few comments, and I was thinking whether it was a good thing to have few comments. Haha. At least this weekend I can relax a little, and start playing games on my DS again!

very fruitful indeed!!

Yesterday...was the most exciting day of my life! My secondary school friend (along with her boyfriend) and I visited the Anime Festival Asia 2008, which was in town for the first time. We went for breakfast first, and then went up to the event hall. There were tons of people queuing up to get tickets to get inside, and we waited for at least 45 mins to get our tickets and go in. At that time, it was about eleven, so I guess, it took very long to get tickets to go in. Initially the place was packed, and I was starting to sweat as crowds of people swarm right by me. We managed to take a lot of photos of figurines and stuff, and I spent a bomb on chibi (super-deformed, but very cute) anime character toys. We managed to get some stuff for my friend who is currently in the US, whereas for my poly friend (YZ), I couldn't get any of her favorite anime characters. Sorry!! There were some people cosplaying, and I had a hard time guessing who they were dressed up as...haha!!

Towards the last hour there, when I was rumaging the stuff to get some gachapon stuff, when someone behind me said otaku...I am not an otaku!! I just love chibi stuff! Well, I am a otaku for chibi characters..that's for sure!

I also got three english novels, one of which Oprah recommended on her show, "Love in The Time of Cholera", nice story, and very sweet too...There was a book fair which I got the books from, the other two I got were "Tuesdays with Morrie" (which my poly friend recommended) and "The Devil Wears Prada", I loved the movie, and the book should be more sophisticated and also fun to read too! To end the day off, I got a few comic books and they were at 20% off! I was kinda silly though, I bought book 7, 8 and 9 for a particular comic book series, whereas I didn't get book 6, and I realised only after I reached home and packed my stuff. Haha..silly me! However, I was so happy yesterday!

Very fruitful indeed, but I blew a slightly big hole in my pocket, but I managed to get lots of stuff!!

P.S: Hope to see any anime festival coming up, and I hope my friends could attend too!! (This is to YZ and JX!!!)

numb.

On the trip to school the past few days, I would listen to songs from the band Disturbed, and I can sleep to it, when the music is supposed to be head-banging, and almost heavy metal-like. My poly friend realised I was always laughing for no rhyme or reason, or at something that is not supposed to be funny. I get myself hyped up/hyper active all of a sudden(Haha - it's a phase..I swear! I am not in any way crazy!!)I don't know why, but somehow it could be because I am sick of school, going to the shopping malls, and probably sick of life in Singapore. I do think my daily routine is boring, so I want to change that a little. I wanna party!! I wanna enjoy life!! Anyways, I have to SLIM DOWN then I can enjoy life happily and healthily!! I have to start the exercising regime soon!! AH-aaaahhhh!!!!

bus ride horror!!

Today when I took the bus home from school....it was one of my worst ever. I was initially stuck at the front of the bus, and there is this Indian Muslim lady, who stood there and didn't move it. I decided to move in, stepped on the tip of an elderly man's shoes and at about 15 minutes into the trip home, I was struggling to get a firm grip on the plastic rails behind seats, until I managed to stay at one spot where I was secure. However, the horror started from there....First I was squeezed, because a guy was getting out and this lady was in front of me and squeezed me on my right to let the guy get out. It was like a domino effect, and I almost squeezed a girl who was on my left. To my horror, I saw a middle-aged lady and she was holding on to the plastic hand grips, just diagonally above me, and I saw......a bunch of armpit hair!!! GROSS!!! She was wearing a sleeveless blouse, so the bush of hair was obviously showing when she lifted her arms. That gross factor one. Gross factor two goes to....a middle-aged hokkien speaking man. At first I felt I felt his breath on my face, then his phone started ringing and he picked up. His breath came toward my direction, and it was horrendous. I then realised his shirt had some kind of smell. Oh my goodness...it was awful!! Other than the fact I stood throughout my whole trip home, from the school bus stop to the interchange...Geez...hope tommorrw AFA 2008(anime festival asia 2008) will cheer me up!! I'm so excited!!

what the hell?!

There is this one classmate - DANIEL that borrowed my thumb drive. I lent him for three days, since Friday, right up to yesterday. Yesterday he told me he can't return it, and asked me to lend him up to today. If I didn't ask him to return me my thumb drive, I bet he wouldn't have the courtesy to even tell me on his own that he needs to lend it for a longer time. My poly friend warned me about him yesterday, and I regretted lending him my thumb drive. When I asked him to return it to me earlier on, he tried to laugh it off, and said he would return it to me by the end of the day. I refused to settle for that, and told him to return it to me by noon. Bloody hell!! This type of guys make my blood boil, trying to pretend and in the end obviously forget about it. Uuurrrr! I am really disgusted and infuriated at the same time.

afraid.

I am afraid when my secondary school friend calls me, cries on the phone, and tells of the break-up incidents with her and her boyfriend. I can't console people that well, and most of the time I can't make out what she is saying because she is crying at the same time. Honestly, I feel trapped when she calls me and I can't do anything to help. My other friend and I feel kinda sick when my friend and her boyfriend always quarrel and talk about breaking up. They are both under the star sign Sagittarius, and their behaviors are the same. I don't really know why they get into fights that often, and it really kills me when my friend has to call for help, when I can't even help. I just hate it when the both of them fight, because it not only affects the two of them, but me and my other friend as well.

(sigh) My mum tells me not to continue being friends with this friend, because the fights that my friend and her boyfriend has would affect me, and I think it would and has affected me quite a bit. I am afraid of fights generally, be it verbal or physical. I am quite afraid of going into relationships with the opposite sex because of my friend's influence, and afraid of the fights that could break out during/in that relationships. I should count myself lucky because I don't have a boyfriend now, but if I were to have one, it would be older guy, and not someone around the same age as me, or even younger. That guy must not be Singaporean, because I don't think there are any gentlemen left in Singapore. Other than these factors, I have not interested in a relationship, because it will hinder my studies, take up my time, money and effort to keep the relationship healthy and alive.

P.S: Don't matchmake me with anybody please! I am very displeased with Singaporean men already!

fun things to come!!

Yesterday I hung out with my poly buddies and watched Madagascar 2, and it was hilariously good and watching it was a blast. Before the movie we ate Japanese food for lunch and after the movie we went shopping for clothes. I bought a grey long-sleeved blouse which came with scarf, and I loved the sleeves a lot, because they were long and it covers my hands. When my mum got home and showed it to her, she didn't like it, and said it looked bad because I was big-sized. I got a little sad, but she told me it could be the shirt that didn't go with the blouse that made it look bad. Thanks mum, bringing me back to the reality that I have to desperately loose weight to look better in clothes! I know that! Geez...

Come next week, there is a Anime Festival Asia (AFA), and I wanna go and see what they sell at the fair, and some of the events like cosplay, and even see some of the storyboards of some animes! I hope I can go, but the following week is a presentation for our project. I guess we should prepare early so we will not be so nervous on the actual day itself. I am crossing my fingers and I hope the presentation will go smoothly.

P.S: Work hard, play hard. DO NOT SLACK!!
