Had a weird dream while napping yesterday afternoon.
I dreamed I was ostracized by people I know and made to sit with snobbish rich people I didn't know. They made fun of me coming from a humble background and kept finding fault with things I did or did not do. Of course there was an element of sadness within me...almost to the extent of being bitter and wished I was Kira and wrote their names in the Death Note, except that I didn't know their names.

School, school, school
Wednesday, March 14, 2012
Final lap for submission is on right now and I am feeling the heat. After so many years of education, one simply has to wonder and doubt the local curriculum. After 10 ++ years of "following closely" to the guides set, I thought university would have a more relaxed and "westernized" attitude towards learning, especially for a foreign degree. To be fair, that is quite true to a certain extent. The other side would be local lecturers assuring students the "more or less correct way of scoring a distinction in exams".
That is not wrong....but even after all this years? When everyone in the class is at least 20 years old? I got to admit having guide to score in exams makes studying easier, but in the end, won't that ultimately destroy the learning process? Everyone will be studying and memorizing for the sake of not failing (or score high marks). When the next semester starts and require students to carry the knowledge from past semester, most of them cannot even apply.
Writing this makes me want to boycott the "revision lectures" next week (where all they really do is to try and spot questions for us.)

People nowadays...
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Dear FB people who like to take pictures of themselves, write *Happy / Merry *insert festive name here*" and tag people in that photo:
This is just a nicer and more polite way of forcing people to look at your self portraits.

JRock band in Singapore finally
Monday, February 13, 2012
L'Arc~en~Ciel is finally coming to Singapore for the first time since its start up 20 years ago. Must really thank the organizers of Sundown Festival as they were the first one to successfully bring in 2 JRock bands in 2 years ago. It was probably the significant number of signboards screaming "LM.C" and "SUG" that made the JRock industry realised: Hey...we have fan base in Singapore!!".
Will I be going to Laraku's concert is still not definite because honestly, I'm not their die-hard fan. I If i go, it will probably because of HYDE. Make no mistake, I don't like HYDE because of his looks. His voice is awesome. I do listen to their songs here and there but probably not enough to fill out the entire concert length.
It is ironic or shall I say "ill-fated"? If they had made plans to come 5 years ago, I would definitely scream, jump up and down and queue for their tickets. Now, even if the GazettE is coming, I will be thinking long and hard about it.
I guess part of the JRock fanatic died in me when Isshi of Kagrra, passed away last year. Kagrra, is the only band I will definitely go to if they came here...but with the passing of Isshi, this will never ever happen.
Utakata will forever be special to me because it is my first song and left me a deep impression because of Isshi's vocals and the traditional music incorporated so seamlessly with Rock music.

Dead blogs
Sunday, February 12, 2012
There is something about blogging in "dead areas", where almost all of your friends gave up blogging or stopped visiting your blog. Gives me some kind of weird thrill, like strutting around this vast area of darkness with only a torch to illuminate your next steps. And then you can shout and scream and curse into the relentless reality without having to care if the others will hear. Oh wait, there is still that one or two that will hear but i guess that is alright...
In any case, those I thought I had real good connections with, well...they don't anymore. This is another reason why I try to keep private matters offline and off FB. I kinda wished I hadn't seen it that day. Maybe all would be well now.

When small things go wrong...
Friday, November 11, 2011
I comfort by myself by saying "I'm destined for greater things in life."
I manage to fuck things up in areas where others don't, even though I take great care not to. Is this perfectly excusable if I tell others that somehow I think my brains and body anatomy are not wired the same way as you do, so I fuck up in small (but also rather important, depending on situations) parts?

Hermit
Saturday, September 3, 2011
I'll gladly be a hermit because at least I have my bed if I feel tired. Especially now. When the deadline is 9th Sep.
Now, where is food when I'm hungry....

So fast....

Time flies.
Just a couple days ago, I went online to find any local imports of an Italian brand wafer (out of curiosity because I found the wafer to taste rather delicious). I chanced upon a wholesaler that sells biscuits, snacks, candies and chocolates and realised it carries whole lot of confectioneries and candies that I had always seen when I was a kid but not so much now anymore.
One of the more memorable memories with candies has definitely got to be the Ring Pop. We kids would go to grandma's old old old place @ Eunos almost every Sunday and my aunt would sometimes get us candies (Ring Pops) and then take us to the playground near the block. We would then suck on the candies and run around, playing swings and slides. On the way back after we had our fun, we will stop by at the little fenced garden and visit the residents living there....the chickens!
Did I mention chicks too? I remembered once the hen lay eggs and she was sitting on them, resting. I was curious enough to squat in front her and watch her and my aunt would tell us not to disturb the soon-to-be-mummy. The next week when we came, the chicks had hatched! I don't think we kids were interested in the swings and slides for weeks to come after that because of the sheer joy and curiosity about LIVE animals. It was almost impossible for me to imagine seeing a live animal (other than birds, cats and dogs) wandering around like that. I think i did try to carry the hen once but I didn't hold her for too long as she was struggling to get out of me..hahahaha...

Not sure if that is a good thing or bad.
One thing is for sure though, that people are more naive and willing to believe there's good in people.

Chocolates
Friday, July 8, 2011
I'm now looking at my After Eight mini-sized chocolates and wondering if I should eat one.
Nitika and I had a meetup couple weeks ago and one of the topic that came up was orgasmic chocolates. Not sure how that topic came out, but then again orgasmic-related topics always come up in between other talks, and hell did I laughed extremely loud about those topics.
Guess I'll have one tomorrow.

GOOD BYE
Tuesday, February 1, 2011
Been in a mood to listen to sad songs, especially with weather like this.
Say good bye ただ Good bye 全ての煩わしさに Good bye Say good bye ただ Good bye 変わる事恐れずに Good bye
あても無く ただ歩いて 疲れた日々の宝に Good bye 進んで行く 道標は 最初と同じ風のままに
If you can't find a way いくつもの Winding road 空に手をかざして Round & round まだ見ぬ土地に 不安覚えながら
小さな詩に 尋ねる
Please songs tell me true 君のメロディー 何処にいても 鳴り続けている
またいつか 一人迷っても 聞こえたなら 軽やかに歩き出せる
Say good bye ただ Good bye 傷つくのを恐れずに Good bye 手の中の持ちきれない 思いは全て捨てて行こう
Please songs tell me true 君のメロディー 何処にいても 鳴り続けている
もし何処か一人迷っても 歌えたなら しなやかに歩き出せる Good bye
Good bye Good bye Good bye Good bye Good bye

Cosmology
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Somewhere along the edge of the Universe, the Universe is still expanding even till now since the start of Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. At the rate Universe is expanding now, will it collapse due to insufficient gravity first or will Milky Way clash with its neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, happen first?
The debate about whether humans still exist then is open for discussion.
10:34 PM
No no no
I should go off and study now...econs is hurting my brain.
This is really a pointless post. lol.

Relax...
Sunday, September 26, 2010
It is especially therapeutic to be alone in your dark room typing, and the only source of light is from the desk lamp. Add that with a JRock ballad or two and relax with a hot drink.

DIY
Saturday, September 25, 2010
I'm back to learning Japanese through books and DIY again. Sometimes I kinda regret that I've quit learning at JAS, but I guess it's not really the same without Teraishi or Oya sensei anymore.
I NEED TO FIND THE PASSION OF LEARNING JAPANESE AGAIN. If not this will be a long and difficult road ahead.
WAIT, I THINK I HAVE MY MAGAZINES STASHED AWAY SOMEWHERE :D

Oh boy, I sure do hope I can pass the test.

Daisuke
Saturday, September 11, 2010
July 15, 2010. The JRock and Nagoya Kei has lost yet another talent. R.I.P Daisuke.
I wonder what will happen to The Studs from now. No other vocalist the recruit is going to replace Daisuke fully.

Twitter
Monday, September 6, 2010
This is not good. I'm tempted to rejoin twitter when I found out Kohsuke's (heidi.) twitter account ヽ(´ー｀)ノ But I guess it isn't of any use adding him on twitter. He probably skips over those posts in english, not to mention he has over 3000 followers. LOL.
http://twitter.com/heidi_kohsuke
Edit: I just found the twitters of Ruki and Aoi from the GazettE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Followers: 28 000++
I have problems starting my firefox so I've used Google Chrome for the testing and it works fine (and I believe firefox should be ok too). The only thing browser that i didn't test on is IE (and maybe the Mac browser which I don't have), I don't think there's any major problems in IE. Will get around to test it soon.
8:37 PM
new layout soon.
Friday, September 3, 2010
Think it is time to change a new layout.
Mantenrou Opera is majoring at the end of this year. Good news for them but i hope they won't change their music direction too much.
Girugamesh, time to come back to your hard rock style!! D:

Kisaki Project
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
I'm sorry Kisaki for comparing you with Mana and his "Ore-sama" attitude (but that's the truth.), but I really love your Kisaki Project's works, especially those JRock ballads. I miss Vidoll, 12012 in Undercode and wouldn't major and they would keep to their awesome indie sound. I wish you wouldn't disband Phantasmagoria because the songs are great and Riku is a silly dork. I love Phantasmagoria's unofficial Glitter PV because it made me laugh hard no matter how many times i've watch it. Riku is a dork.

Post-trauma
Tuesday, August 24, 2010
After more than 6 weeks of the accident, I realized I'm still afraid of sudden, loud and incessant car horns. On the way to sch this morning, the bus I was on didn't realize the taxi was oncoming and it proceeded to do a right turn to the left lane, exactly where the taxi was approaching, horning out loud. Even before I could register that in my mind, i closed my eyes and wince, expecting to hear the crash and the aftermath. It actually took me a few seconds to realize that nothing happened but I could still feel the palpating of my heart after that.
