If anyone noticed, my posts have been picture-less ever since I came back from Taiwan. Why? 'Cos I stupidly left my data cable in one of the hotels I stayed there (TT)
And I've got a hundred and one photos in my mobile phone that I want to upload and I can't do anything about it.
BBBLLLLLLAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH o(--)''o
Been lazing around mostly~ But I've changed my old blogskins to a キラキラ new one!
Ja-ne!
I just saw (and read) the powerpoint presentation (sent to my email weeks ago) that was shown during band farewell (which I missed). Oh my gosh. I think I'm gonna cry..
I've kinda memorised the hiragana chart. I've kinda memorised the katakana chart too. 'Thing is, I've kinda mixed them all up as well.
Argh.
I just need to write them out more often, I suppose (HOPEFULLY). We're learning how to string up random verbs and sorts together into a sentence now... In other words, I'm getting a bit lost already (TT) *sigh*
Anyway, I got into my first choice JC!! I just hope that I won't regret my choice...
And time really is zooming past-- I mean, its only 12 days to Christmas! Which, of course, means that school will be starting soon, again... (==)
P.S. I had lunch (last?) with my dear juniors at Pizza Hut (mmhmmm) on Tuesday. It's been ages since we sat together and chitchat~ ^^
I'm back home after a holiday in Taiwan! Actually, I came back yesterday night but I had a major headache so I went to sleep early.. (^^)v
How's the trip, you ask? Well, the first thing my piano teacher said when I stepped in for piano lesson this afternoon was:
" You've put on weight!"
...
(--)'''
BUT you get it-- I ate like a pig there; breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, supper, plus lots of soft drinks. *sigh* Couldn't help it~ And I love shopping there! But I honestly wish that we spent more time in Taipei and Taichung where I can shop till I drop.. And less time on the bus! It's like this half the time:
Tour guide: Okay, everyone, we'll be arriving at (name of destination here) in.. about 2 hours! Meanwhile, I'll tell you more about .....
*Arrives at destination, say, museum, and tours for about 30 mins; boards bus again after that*
Tour guide: That was interesting, wasn't it? Okay, our next destination is (name of destination here), and we'll be taking the ______ Expressway this time. It's very long and was built in blahblahblah and we should arrive in hmm, 3 and a half hours!
I think I basically died on my seat every time I hear an announcement like that~
Oh yeah, I was terrified by the traffic there when I first arrived. Maybe it's partly because everything's the oppposite, but I couldn't make sense of the traffic-- the vehicles on the road, especially the motorbikes, don't seem to be looking at the traffic lights! But I got used to it after a few days, but I still found it stressful crossing roads (^^)''' And my sister said the traffic in China is worse. Oh man
Speaking of which, I'm pretty determined to improve my Chinese after a week in Taiwan. Everything there was in Chinese-- roadsigns, maps, food packaging, TV set and air-con remote controls, you name it. And I can't describe to you how horrible I felt having trouble switching on the air-con and TV... I resorted to pressing every single button that I could on one particular trying control (T-T)
So that's the end of my first real holiday!
Okay, I'm gonna stop now and start catching up on what I missed~ (^^)/
I feel like I'm rushing, rushing, rushing for everything!
Rushing to shop (for a box of Pocky for my Euphos) *don't look at me like that-- I just didn't know what to buy~* Rushing to pack for my Taiwan trip Rushing to translate the Kime videos Rushing to blog Rushing to practise the piano at least once before turning up at my teacher's house for a extended 2-hour lesson in dunnohowmanymonths Rushing, rushing, rushing
Ahhh~
So anyway, I went back to school this morning-- thought I'd see my dear juniors one last time before I leave for Taiwan, since I'm gonna miss Farewell (TT)
After that, Hui Min and I went to have lunch at Taco Bell/KFC. Mmhmm~ And then HM (saved my life) brought me to the Japanese language centre that I'd otherwise fail to find, completely (--)''' I'm thinking of learning Japanese this holiday-- but it all depends...
And I still haven't decided which JC I want to/ can go to... *sigh* Well, I'll know the procedures tomorrow and hopefully, I'll be able to decide.
It's so weird. I've been waiting for today since forever, but I can't seem to get out of the 'exam' mode yet. It just doesn't feel like Os are over yet. Maybe it's because I didn't feel the hugh sense of relief I was expecting. Hmmm... How should I put it-- it just doesn't seem right to sit around and do nothing.
Oh, but I didn't "do nothing", 'cos my mother immediately made me pack my luggage and that took up a whole afternoon. Horrifying~ And, I'm only leaving on Saturday. But YAY! I'm flying to Taiwan for a holiday soon! It's been ages since I last had one. But, oh man, the clothes I'm forced to pack-- I think I can survive in 9 degree Celcius instead of 19~ (--)''' *whack*
Kimeru's new PV-- Junk Beat!
He's really cute in some shots (!!), but I think a few are overdone *cough* (forgive me). Regradless of that, it's a nice, cheery upbeat song I'd listen to anytime. Also, is it just me, but Kimeru now seems to be going all out to project the "cute" image? As in, he was always cute and all that, but his two recent PV are just screaming "KAWAII!!" and have none of the "coolness" found in the older PVs.
Oh well, whatever-- Kimeru's stilll the BEST!!!
Anyway, there's this other j-pop group which caught my attention. It's called AAA, which stands for Attack All Around. Hmph. I think I talk about them another time. I'm a bit lazy now ^^
And a little while ago, Hui Min, knowing that I'm a big fan of Death Note, led me to this HILARIOUS doujinshi. Read it! It's so funny! Talk about global warming-- LOL
Since my O levels is starting really really soon-- in a day's time, in fact (oh gawwwd, what am I doing here), and my last paper's on 13th Nov, I won't be coming online for a while (for obvious reasons). Until then, entertain yourself with this short list of Japanese songs I compiled.
I'm gonna work really hard (going crazy, no joking) so you've gotta wish me luck, okay? Until then, bye bye!
SO I've graduated from Cedar. It's been more than one week, actually. But when I listened to 'Say Goodbye' just now, I thought I was going to tear up yet again. So that's how attached I was to the class huh...
Well, let's just say I won't forget about the Grad Nite anytime soon. The dinner/supper at Fish & Co after that, the '4D incident' before that, and, basically, the times we spent together as a class. 2 years passed so quickly, no? All in all, I'd say we 'ended' our 2 years together with a bang that emotional night. I can't think of a better way to end it. All that's left is Os then. Let's hope that we can achieve one last, spectacular goal before we part ways, for real this time.
* edited to 'We Believe We Can Fly' in our case and Yinxue's voice simply rocks =] as does the 'Phenomenal Band' Here goes:
*I Believe I can Fly by R. Kelly
I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful song But now I know the meaning of true love I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down Sometimes silence can seem so loud There are miracles in life I must achieve But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly
Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can be it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly
Hey, if I just spread my wings I can fly I can fly I can fly, hey If I just spread my wings I can fly Fly-eye-eye
Say Goodbye by S Club (S Club 7)
In the years to come Will you think about these moments that we shared
In the years to come Are you gonna think it over And how we lived each day with no regrets
Nothing lasts forever though we want it to The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you
Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart, is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts, is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every way So say goodbye But don't you cry 'Cause true love never dies
In a year from now Maybe there'll be things we'll wish we'd never said
In a year from now Maybe we'll see each other Standing on the same street corner, no regrets
Each and every end is always written in the stars If only I could stop the world I'd make this last
Sometimes goodbye, so it hurts in your heart, is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, so it hurts, is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every way So say goodbye (so say goodbye) But don't you cry 'Cause true love never dies
And when you need my arms to run into I'll comfort you Nothing will ever change the way I feel
Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts in your heart, is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye, though it hurts, is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every day So say goodbye But don't you cry `Cause a true love never dies
