I'm feeling super lethargic today.

Must the the result of spending almost the whole day at home alone. Even as I'm typing now, I'm the only one at home. Haizz~

Anyway, lots of random stuff today... Here goes--

Wanyan's been down with chickenpox(which she has no idea who she caught it off) since last week. Get well soon!

Chinese translation of Kimeru's 恋のパフォーマンス ~to be with you~

即使100%的自信却还是对恋爱感到不安吗？
到底为什么总是无法单刀直入地说出我喜欢你？

是自尊心抑或是羞耻心　在那个时候都像是定时炸弹一般
好比吸引你的心的小把戏　就算是如此简单的事

恋爱的performance在你的内心深处光辉灿烂地回响着
如果看尽了我的一切　就请让我碰触你的秘密
但我还是不满足　不满足　还不行　还不行　仍然不满足

与平时正经的我180°相反真的很滑稽吧？
如果献给你一束玫瑰花　你一定会忍俊不住笑出来吧？

让我倾听你真正的声音吧　我会不断knock！knock！地敲着那扇门喔
当在梦中紧紧抱住时　不知为何又受伤了呢

恋爱Upbeat　像是停止呼吸那样　希望能感受到那激烈的心跳
如果现在你轻轻颔首的话　连回忆都可以全部舍弃哟
但我还是不满足　不满足　还不行　还不行　仍然不满足

是感到高兴还是感到为难呢　你只是对我抱以一个意味深长的微笑
今夜又是个暧昧不清的裁决　可我如论如何都停不下来了！！！

恋爱的performance在你的内心深处光辉灿烂地回响着
如果看尽了我的一切　就请让我碰触你的秘密

恋爱Upbeat　像是停止呼吸那样　希望能感受到那激烈的心跳
如果现在你轻轻颔首的话　连回忆都可以全部舍弃哟
但我还是不满足　不满足　还不行　还不行　仍然不满足

What is love, really?

(Sorry for not putting up any English translation 'cos every single one that I found didn't really make much sense)

I'm sure I forgot something-- the 'lots' I mentioned above is definitely more than this... Oh well, it'll be only these until I can remember what the rest are... Haha (^^)'''

New look for my desktop (yay!):



That's Kon from Bleach, by the way... (^^) I've never really watched or read Bleach, but I think he's cute... And that's enough to get him a place on my screen... Haha...

Anyway, I'm very, very irritated with the medicine I'm taking-- it makes me sleepy and energy-less... Urgh... Imagine waking up for breakfast, taking the medicine after breakfast, and then feeling tired again after that... Yuck yuck yuck YUCKS! And so I've been taking naps every afternoon ('cept yesterday) ever since I started taking the medicine... And I'm frustrated because after waking up and taking those pills after dinner, I'm suddenly exhausted again?! It feels everyday like I'm sleeping away precious time!!

That aside, yesterday most of the class turned up for Mr Sng's wedding (congrats!)... Hmmm... Let's just say the first thing I asked my parents when I got home was that if they cried on their wedding day... The reaction I got was hilarious... As 'immature outsider' (at all weddings), I couldn't (and still can't) completely understand why the peoples concerned would get so emotional... My mother described it as "happy yet sad", and being so overwhelmed by those feelings that she had to cry, especially upon seeing my grandma cry... My father is still highly amused by my mother's tears up till today... I kinda understand the circumstances, but don't quite get why the emotions would be so strong... Afterall, it's just a ceremony, right? Enough about that-- no point thinking about it any further... Haha...

Happy belated birthdays to Shahini and Germaine!!!

Watched both Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End and Spider-man 3 last week... Unexpectedly, both were quite similar, in that their action sequences were brillian but their plots were near disaster... And also unexpextedly, I didn't shed a single tear watching them...

BUT I cried like madwoman over gradmyu... That's Side Fudomine ~Special Match~ of the Prince of Tennis Musicals (aka Tenimyu) for you... The last performance of the 1st Cast... Haizz... Very touching... Haha... I'm probably not making any sense to most people... Anyway, I'm not too eager to watch the 2nd Cast's performance, 'cos they really don't seem to live up to expectations, but the 3rd Cast seems not bad... The only thing is that they've only had 2 performances so far... So it'd be better for me to wait a while first... Oh, and I had a shock when I first saw this video:



I was like- is he really a guy, or did they get a girl to act as Echizen Ryoma this time round- when I saw that... But he's cute, in a girly way... Haha...

Last but not least, I'VE GOTTEN THE FLU BUG FROM MY SISTER!!! AAAAAAARRRGGH!

Urgh... I'm sick and tired of emaths... But I've got 11/2 more papers and 150+ more textbook questions (question count courtesy of Tanya) to go... (T.T)

Anyway, here's Kimeru's 恋のパフォーマンス ～to be with you～ (Koi no Performance ~to be with you) with Chinese and Japanese subs, in full length and better quality... Enjoy!



He's so adorable!!! =333

I went for a kompang workshop this morning.

Let me tell you this-- if you think chanting/singing and playing the kompang before the groom arrives is easy-peasy, change that mindset... I was sitting in an air-conditioned room, holding a smaller-than-usual sized kompang, glaring at the seemingly simple rhythms on the makeshift whiteboard, my hands almost trembling trying to keep up with the fast beat, I had to keep switching my position of my fingers 'cos they were getting stiff from holding the kompang, and yet, at the end of almost two and a half hours, our group barely managed to learn 3 sets of rhythms... The problem? We weren't in sync with one another and trying to play an interlocking pattern like that was near impossible... Which is why I'm now full of admiration for those guys... Playing 4 different sets of rhythms out of memory (we didn't quite manage with 2 that were clearly notated on the whiteboard) and chant/sing at the same time, and yet end up highly coordinated...

But I definitely had fun... Though my 'drumming' technique is probably all wrong... Haha... A hands-on session is sooooo much more interesting than pages after pages of notes... (^^)v

And please don't tell me you don't know what a kompang is after reading all that... I'm gonna assume you do, and even if you don't, you can always google it... (--)

Anyway, today is offically the start of the June holidays... Ooooh yay, the un-holidayish hols... And I fell asleep doing Emaths homework this afternoon even though I drank a mug of tea to make sure I don't... (-_-)''' (But I managed to finsh it anyay, haha...)

I'm in love with shashimi!!! =3

Yaaaaarrrrrggghh! My entire right arm is like so dead... It's been so weak and inflexible ever since yesterday night, 'cos of the the arm muscles aching... And why is are they in that condition? 'Cos we played dodgeball during PE and I kept using my right hand to throw the ball... Jeez... I can't describe how peeved I am to get muscle aches just from throwing balls around... And the best thing is, I don't think the balls I threw hit anybody... They just mostly bounce harmlessly in front of the other team... Guess I have to exercise more huh?

Anyway, yesterday was a horrible horrible day... I overslept and woke up one whole hour later than usual... And of course even though the cab fare was $10, I was still 14 minutes late... Urgh... And I only ate my breakfast during recess... Then after helping to set up the music booth for the sec 2 meet-the-parents session (I didn't do much, so I'm feeling extremely guilty), I rushed off for the Macbeth play... At least the play's nice... And they presented some stuff in a different way from what I imagined... Interesting... But it's waaaaaaaaaayyyyy too late... Got home really late and as a result, slept only at 1am...

And I feel like a zombie now... With a body that's not in tiptop condition... Oyasumi~

The fan's spoilt! Argh! As if the weather isn't hot enough as it is... I still pretty ok with it, though I have a feeling this won't last long... But the peeps in the neighbouring row by the window are really melting... Poor them... Hopefully, before both rows die from heatstroke, the fan'll be fixed... (^^)'''

I found my neuralisation worksheet! Chem SPA file: COMPLETE!!

And I nearly died laughing during Bio remedial this afternoon... I've always suspected that Bao Hui and Tanya are kinda... Hard of hearing, but their conversation today totally convinced me... Here's 1 example:

BH: Argh! There's gonna be Chem homework on Thursday! I don't-
T: *makes weird whining sound* Tamil homework? Eeee...
BH: Yeah!

Oh well, it went something like that... Haha...

Tanya gave me 3 really cute notebooks as belated birthday presents... Thank you! And thanks to these people too, for giving me birthday presents:

• Hui Min and Wanyan for the Death Note 2 VCD (Ahhhhhhhhhh!)
• Germaine L for the delicious cookies/biscuits
• Kelly for the book filled with cute poems
  
• Mummy for the pillow
• Papa for the ang pow
  
• Si Lei for the nice green jacket and
  
• Yin Xue for the Kit Kats
  

Yay! Thankies!

Now to Prince of Tennis!

What a relief! My remaining results didn't turn out that badly... Phew... Exhausted now, so maybe I'll elaborate more the next time... Night!

P.S. so many problems with Blogger... *tsk tsk*

I'm scared scared scared scared scared scared scared scared scared scared SCARED of the truth?! Argh~ It's almost like Judgement Day for me tomorrow...

But introducing Kimeru, whose songs played a big role calming me down this few days (the end's cut, but nevermind, since I can't seem to find any other):



Hopfully, I won't get the chance to break down tomorrow...

And the last phototaking in band uniform at 2 tomorrow... Wow... Time sure zoomed past...

I seem to be living in a never-ending nightmare... All the way from SYF, the tonnes of homework, the hours spent mugging, the exams themselves, and now, the results... Yikes... Gotten back 6 papers, failed 3 of them... D7, E8, F9... And the best among the 6 was a B4... Couldn't get more upset than this...

Thanks for consoling me...

I was in a ultra-lousy mood, and basically didn't feel like doing anything... But after I calmed down (result of a few hours of listening to songs), I asked myself: why? I can't say it's SYF, 'cos the other band members were doing alright... Not the overload of homework, not the crammed exam schedule, 'cos the rest of the class didn't do that badly either... So it's me... I need to 1) manage my time properly and 2)adopt a more serious attitude towards homework; 3) practice more of maths, and 4)start revision early...

With those in mind, I just have to move forward and start all over again... But that's easy to say and hard to do... And I'm very, very scared about the results of the rest of my papers... I cannot fail another one... I know it can't be changed, but still...

But I will work hard-- don't want a repeat of this ever again...
