最後の手紙

finally. rest for the whole day. watched a few episodes of super trio hoping i can get some ideas for filler games, some not bad, some not quite suitable to be played without an audience laughing at you.

results out. quite bad. but im quite immune. as in. no matter how hard i try, the results still like that. i really just sian already.

Yday someone asked me from when did i start to learn cycling. actually to seriously think abt it, i think the first time would be in sec2 when i went to east coast with a few friends. which make that 5 yrs before i manage to cycle from the first time i learn to cycle. haha. omg. 5yrs!! hahahahahahaha.

and i think over 10 people have tried in one way or another to teach me to cycle. and the thing is that the first time i managed to cycle was because there wasnt anyone to teach me and instead i just had a bike and i went over and over on it again till i knew what the bicycle wanted from me. haha. ironic.

so the first time i managed to was last yr july.

the second time i cycled i had jingxian and eunice patiently telling me how to overcome curbs and turns.

and the third time? i went onto roads!! yayyyyy. fun but i guess i was quite a hazard to everyone there. sorry sorry. haha.

Fact of the day 29May2008: I am the person most prone to mosquito bites among all the people I know. so much that the last time we went to pgp to film, all the others felt that it was better to stand beside me cos the mosquito will all go to me and not go to them. hai.

die. results gonna be out soon. damn. i hate that.

haha. omg. i realise the contestants tell everything in their blogs abt whether they got through and who got kicked out before the episode is out. hahahahahaha. so spoiler.

sugie's
okay la. i shall recall my last blog spot. after watching last friends i dont feel so stressed up now. full of energy. yay. but to warn u first. super boring long post on last friends coming.



havent been posting up caps from last friends. partially because im getting a little lazy on that. and secondly i really dunno how to caps for these few episodes. the scenes are good when u watch them but when u caps it sorts of lose the impact. and so i think might as well dont cap already.

but episode 6 really made me very angry just watching it. why is everyone so stupid. hai. lack of communication and common sense!! hai hai.

especially the scene on top. my sis suggested that i cap it and put a huge 'STUPID' on it. but aiyah. that's a little too mean. not that the action was stupid. but eita seriously chose a wrong time, wrong place, wrong situation. hai. and michiru who is still going back to sosuke. hai hai.

been reading some of the posts from d-addicts. and finally. someone who thinks like me. because all from the start most people labeled ruka as a na-na-na or that she hates being a girl. but somehow that's not what i see her to be. as in. i do not really consider ruka as a na-na-na. okay. first off. i dont think ruka hates being a girl that she wants to become a boy. but more of that she sees herself as gender-less. there are so many incidents that she has expressed this idea.

she hates seeing herself as a girl. but i dont she wants to be a boy, and even to go to thailand [haha. u know what i mean]. but that she just take herself as gender-less. and this may be why she is closing herself up to the rest of the world. and that she likes michiru not because she is some na-na-na but because michiru as michiru. as a human being. i dont think ruka is interested in the rest of the female population in this sense. but only michiru. but somehow i think ruka sort of mistaken what she feels for michiru also. because michiru is the only person she feels that she has interactions with on the spiritual level and so she tot she like her. or at least how it seems la. while michiru is different. she sees ruka as more of like a friend. a friend from school.

and another evident we can see is from how ruka treats the other man as compared to eita. ruka's nice to eita i think not because he is gay or he is like a sister. but more of like she dont label eita as a man. the rest of the male population, ruka sort of place a label on them. like 'you are a man and you are also a man'. like how she talks to other man, she will deliberately talk in a lower tone and she somehow will place them out of her comfort zone. but eita. i think she take him as another human being. as opposed to a man. like the time when she went to find him after getting kissed by her coach. eita asked if she was scared of him and she replied 'no. if it's takeru then it's okay' or something like that.

you know.

oh ya. and my favourite line for ep6: 'I built a wall around my heart and not let anyone in. Because i'm scared that the others will see the real me and dislike me.' [omg. my translation is really quite bad. haha. but ya. my favourite line. i think this is how many people feels ba.]

and my favourite line from ep5: 'Ruka's always so strong, perfect, loved by everyone and also gifted, in the limelight [那樣閃閃發亮]. But I am a coward, and that is why i understand sosuke's weakness/fragile-ness.'

hahahahahahaha. sorry for the rambling. har. must have been boring. sorry.

盲忙盲。

been staring at the computer ever since i woke up and the stuff are still not done yet. ahhhh. too many stuff too little time.

haaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr.

this is the summer time!!

林宥嘉 - 那首歌

愛牢牢抓緊我~

okay la. finally some time when i can sit down and do some stuff. been running here and there doing stuff since monday. now it's time for me to really do the stuff that i've been pushing back since the start of exams. all the stuff that someone shd do during a summer break. yay.

first off. i have a feeling fright night is coming back. after it was scrapped from proposal 3. yes yes. fright night. gonna work with the CSI team for fright night and also the wargames-nightcycling people for war games.

before this break i was still quite excited abt all the stuff coming up this hols. but this whole wk is making me feel quite sian abt it and the lack of cash. hai. is kind of putting me off on the things i wanted to do this break. but thanks goodness. after reading CIRCUS小馬's blog, yesh, all my genki's are back. nevermind it's crap. it's experience man. i must make it not crap man.

with regards to money i've thought of a good plan. since i'm confirmed with one tuition kid now. im gonna get one more after all of my other stuff are confirmed. and to work at kumon on other evenings and wkend. and to do the facilitator job felicia found me on a job by job basis. i think at the end of the 3 mths i will roughly be able to squeeze out another 2k for my dream this year end.

but one trouble will be my house lessons on sat. can work around it la. i guess. so now 2 camps, one production, my jobs and of course to equip myself with more skills. library books due 24march and i've only completed 20% of one book. but i borrowed 3 books. hai. read fast.

and to clean the super dirty toilet. hai.

wanted to get mrchildren's HOME dvd and eason's moving on stage DVD but has been quite lazy to do it since i may have a more urgent need for cash and so not to get them now.

actually everytime i complain tat JE songs are too bubblegum but i still listen to them. haha. okay la. the songs are quite nice. all 3 PVs below can be watched on high quality. nice. watch them.

KAT-TUN - DON'T U EVER STOP PV
V6 - Chou PV
NEWS - Summer Time PV

today's friay. yay. last friends. millionstars. and of course CHANGE started which i've yet to watch.



oh ya. wanted to blog the first movie i watch this break. exit no.6 by eddie pang and ethan ruan. of course i didnt go to the cinema to watch [did they show this in spore?] but anw. yah. this is the show that was on when i went to taiwan. so it has all the memories of taiwan i remember them to be. it's shot entirely in ximending i think. about a bunch of youngsters in ximending. they lead happy lives in ximending before girls in ximending started disappearing one by one. so they are out to investigate why is this so and to also rescue one of their friends who is also missing.

i think is not bad. it's those taiwan independent films. the cinematography is wa super cool. is those type that i like. very colourful. very slick. there are critics that gave quite bad reviews on the movie because other than the beautiful shots, the movie has no spirit. the director tries to look at some of the teenage problems in taiwan today. but everything was taken very lightly. no depth. hmm. maybe. can be improved but it's really good already. since this is like the director's 2nd fiction feature film. the director did only documentaries before this.

huat ah. bb.

你走也好。

STAY REAL

travelling on two wheels.

after being inspired to travel on the wonderful two wheels and of course to celebrate the end of our exams, me eunice and chinshyan went on our trip to east coast to cycle. hahahahaha. seriously me and cycling come from two different worlds.

so as always im still as bad at cycling though this time the bike decided to be nice to be and not wobble so much. as in. when i sat on it i knew it could keep me balanced. a nice and reliable bike. took 30min to struggle on my new found orange friend. but yay. could cycle for certain distances before going straight for the bushes. and it's really true that it's easier to balance when your speed is high. but u are putting your self into higher risk of getting injured when something mess up. and i must thank the suspension to keep me on the bike while traveling on the humps. haha. and of course the wonderful gears that kept me slow and away from dangering more people's lives.

但當然也有那些以爲人一出世就會腳踏車的人。就是那些tmd老外。一路上被幾個老外罵。罵我在錯邊啊,有的說我在擋路。excuse me. i can balance is a miracle okay. 真是的。老外就是地大,我們小島的人好不容易到ECP才有安全而寬敞的路來學轎車。

oh ya. there was another thing. there was this family. we shall guess what race they are. whole family big to small i think go ecp to bbq and stay tent. so they were not walking on the walking path. instead on the bicycle and skating path. so many cyclists were angry la. and rang their bells at them. and of course as a wonderful family. they heard the bells and purposely stood in one line so that they stretch from one side of the path to the other. completely blocking anyone from cycling past them. or they think the bicycles are thin enough to squeeze through them. wahlao. seriously.

潘嗣敬 - 大眼睛

i dont really know why i did that but that day i just switched on the tv and saw this scene. haha.

and what shocked me was when i continued watching and that they subsequently went to steal this painting. and i was like 'omg. i watch this before.' the previous time i watched it, it was also because i had nothing better and switched on the tv. but that time i didnt finish the whole movie. was like halfway through. and that day i finished the other half of the movie. hahahahahaha. this is so crazy.

actually sometimes those movies they play like 2am, 3am at night/in the morning are actually quite nice. the last time i found this not bad movie. i think it's like ekin cheng. he acts as this triad boss who decides not to be involved anymore because of her young daughter. (hmm. sounds utterly familiar. like the new louis koo movie...)

hiroi sekai.

finally. finally it's all over. this time round i dont feel as bad as last sem because i think i tried to put in some effort as compared to last sem when i was so sick of mugging i just gave up mugging. this time round i tot that maybe i shd just mug until i go crazy for that one wk. because after that im gonna play for 3 whole mths. and also the CAP requirement that i need to fulfill is giving quite a lot of pressure to perform.

got a call from the aero people. for an interview. but i was having my math paper. okay. this time round i seriously have a question for them. u know like how they always like to ask u to ask them some questions at the end of an interview. yes. will i get exemptions for all the modules i've done so far. hais.

and now i think of it. it's really getting very late. if im ever gonna accept the offer. then who do i go to ask to be my roommate? i need a roommate seriously. and that's provided they decide to take me in.

and it's 10 days away from choosing our path if im staying. almost decided ISE->CE->EE. top 3 choices. hope it's a good choice la.

omg. my sis grind her teeth when she sleeps. and it sounds like scratching your nails on the blackboard. all my hairs are standing.

talking about si bei sian. the JS paper is seriously si bei sian. first our report was graded C. the paper. i tell u. last sem after math i was quire devastated cos i knew i could do more. the JS paper is truly si bei sian. u study also no use. it's just luck that u get the correct answer.

okay. holidays starts tmr. and since i've yet to get myself a job. then i guess i shd use this hols to improve myself.

brush up on the langauges i've yet to master.
maybe go learn dance.

and of course to talkcocksingsongplaymahjong with everybody else!!
oh. and the 3 camps coming up. most likely not going for engin camp already. so okays. left 2 camps. and matric fair coming. hai.


and these few days been watching healinghands3. wah. it's so nice!! hahahahaha. as in i like the interactions btw everyone. it's super seldom i will like a show that i like everyone. yesh. everyone. including angus. including the nurse who like chris (hahahahahaha. he's so funny with anson).

so. HH3, last friends and 星光3. and my 3 months break.


small note.

there is this one line that i can remember very clearly from the JS reading.
"Psychologically speaking (I'll wheel out the amateur psychology just this once, so bear with me), encounters that call up strong physical disgust or revulsion are often in fact of projections of our own faults and weaknesses." (Underground, Murakami Haruki)

i sort of thought of this when i was in sec sch. that we all hate people who are too like ourselves. at least in the area where u dislike yourself for. but soon after that i just kept it down at the back of my head and then forgot about what i said. haha. maybe till now. it's a good idea to make a film about.

but i think im equally interested in people who bares strong resemblence to the side of me that i dislike. as in. i like to look at people when they are extremely impatient. or to look at quiet people when they are in an unfamiliar place. sometimes i really dislike myself for all these. but i like to see how people react when they are so irritating like me. haha. of course i'll curse under my breathe sometimes when i see them (hahahahahaha. 'u stupid woman. so impatient for what. cut my queue.') but i'll keep peeping at how they deal with stuff in that situation.

seriously i hate those sarariman in the morning when they are rushing for work. as in. first they like to squeeze into trains. the space how small also want to squeeze. i think they think it's free slim wrap or something like that. and they want to dash across the road during the red man when obviously the green man is going to come on soon. and their breathes are si bei smelly. and they like to use their newspaper to poke me. speaking loudly on handphones with bad english. sms-ing at the speed of tortoise. put on more lipstick and concealer when obviously their make-up are so thick. and some i think they put so much foundation it is cracking. i really hate taking public transport during peak hours. got once me and felicia wanted to do this 'revenge on the working adults' after our CBD work ended. like running around in comfortable shorts and to steal their table-choping-tissuepapers. maybe we should try it during the 3mths break. and to film it down. yayyyy. every morning i will think 'what are they rushing for?' the same line that totto-chan and the little prince asked before. what the heck are they rushing for? they are late? i doubt. i just saw them taking their own sweet time queuing for TODAY newspaper. then what's the rush? sometimes i see them do really dangerous stuff when rushing. what's more impt? ur life or ur rushing? do u know what u are looking for in life? have u lost all your dreams? what are you working towards? what's your aim in life? if u have no aim, what's the rush?
