Pardon me for being so late but something really shocked me just now. Yesterday I woke up very early and watched the first show on OKTO. Initially I thought it would be Sesame Street, but it turned out to be a really weird show instead. I watched, deeply intrigued. It wasn't a show that captivated me like Pingu did but there was a certain unexplained humor in the show.
I instantly thought of Teletubbies. It has the same humor that can't be explained. And guess what, that weird show was created by the same team that created Teletubbies...shocking. Just found out the name - IN THE NIGHT GARDEN.
I wasn't a huge fan of Teletubbies nor this show but I liked how the show was presented. Strangely, they have the power to make me sit and watch. When the presenter was saying "Good night little children, it's time for bed", I looked at my watch and was shocked that 30 mins has already passed. It's amazing!
I was so wide awake and anxious to watch the next show. It turned out to be Caillou (pronounced as ka-you) and I fell asleep. Yes Caillou, I know him. Anyone can remember the bald head but kids show like these can never really captivate me. 3D animated kids shows are worse. So dead. Show for pre-school kids have to have texture, at least that's how I feel. I'm dying to be a mascot.

These days I've been crazily watching animes. Either I'm subbing one or I'm watching now. I guess it's the only thing I can do for now huh.
Thinking about it, I've completed watching: 96 animes, 26 anime movies and 8 mangas.
Going to reach 100 soon! Samurai shows are my love or rather Katanas. Had a strong urge to order Kenshi's reverse blade from US but I just realised that even if I ordered, it won't reach Singapore. "Learn the way of the sword."
I really think guns and cannons sucks. Anyone can shoot, any loser can hold a gun and kill. When 2 guys face each other with the same gun, it's decided by the speed of the trigger pull. But when 2 guys face each other with swords, it's decided by skill. Alas, I still prefer dual wielding pistols (like Lara Croft) then holding a katana in Left4Dead2.
Currently watching: One outs Hakuouki Kimi ni todoke (forced by sister) Yugioh GX Rave Binbou Shimai Monogatari
Waiting for sis to watch with me: K-ON!! season 2 Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009) Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (2009) Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- Inuyasha: The Final Act

I bought my Guitar on 17-7-2010! Now, I think I need a stand and a strap.
My left fingers are constantly numb now. :) It's a good feeling!
For some reason, I feel much happier when I play guitar as compared to the violin. Every time I play the violin I feel so tired and I'll sweat. I'm so sorry violin, I can hear your cries. But it's not like I am giving up on you! Fret not, I'll always be with you~
I guess I'll have to scout for guitar stands too. Should I call JP and her friends along? I think they will be like, "Just put your guitar on the floor la." But I've a feeling someone will step on it one day and they will scold me for "putting my things all over the place."
Anyway, so many of my friends bought guitars. I feel half responsible for them (cause I was the catalyst!) and it kinda stresses me. It's like suddenly everyone near me is learning the guitar, like the 1960s huh.
It's so late already, I need to sleep. I've been constantly waking up at 12pm nowadays, very bad. 3 alarms couldn't wake me up. 4 alarms then. Night~

Ten years in a girls' school can make one weird. I guess you will be highly competitive and sensitive huh. But it's not like mixed sch people are all normal...
Well, just a thought. How people change according to their environment. Is single sex education better than coeducation?
For me, I feel that guys are better off in a single sex sch. For some reasons I feel that girls are actually more competitive. It's in us, we can't deny it. Some girls can say that they are never jealous of anyone but I think they are all lying. We can't not feel jealousy or a little envious of others. It's the same as saying, "Oh, I've never felt angry/happy in my life before." Bullshit.
Being jealous is what makes a girl. Maybe jealous is too strong, but definitely envious. We are envious and then we compete. Guys compete of course, but in a different way. Guys compete physically but girls compete spiritually. Put me in a room full of girls and I can almost instantly sieve out friends, only-say-hi-in-sch friends and so on. One or few chats and I can know for sure I will be or won't be part of your life. So since girls form clusters much faster then guys, then it's for sure they will be more competitive. Hrum strangely, I am not totally convinced by myself. Ok, lets say competitive = bitchy. Oh yes, girls ARE more competitive.
When I look at my brother, I really feel that guys should be in single sex school. Well of course single sex school have its own set of problems like guys doing all dirty things together (like ARMY) but considering their age when they are in secondary, I doubt it would be anything severe. It may even enhance male bonding... Male bonding huh...hehe.
Son: "Mom, I'm gay." Me: " Oh, why do you think think so?" Son: "I feel happy with guys..." Me: "When did it start?" Son: "Not really sure..." Me: " Maybe it will change over time, because environment drastically changes a person." Son: "Maybe..." Me: "Anyway, mom is so proud of you for being so frank. Good for you!" *Hugs*
In any case, I would send my son to a single sex school and my girl to a mixed. That is if they have no preferences.
Daughter: "Mom, I want to be in a girls' school." Me: "Ok, which school?" Daughter: " St Anthony Canossian" Me: " You better reconsider darling."
HAHAH Well I guess it still depends on which sch one goes to. People from certain school have certain traits. Like I'm from NAS and I am full of courtesy and righteousness. :)
Ah, I really really miss NAS.
The days that I can never go back to and the days that will always be in my memory.
WC has finally ended and SPAIN is the winner. It was quite a boring match too, if not for it being the finals I would have went to sleep after half time. Oh and nice work octopus! I was so proud of you. It's a bit sad that Paul won't be alive in the next world cup. Wonder which octopus will replace him.
I feel like flying over to Brazil for the next world cup...just hoping. Hoping that I've the time and guts to just fly over.
Anyway, I feel really confused nowadays. My heart is feeling uneasy...and I don't really know why I'm feeling that way. "I don't necessary want it, but when someone gets it I will feel sad and jealous." From drama Get Karl Go.
Is this...love? I've never felt that way before. I keep thinking about him but I know it's impossible, because he seems so far away from me. The more I know about him, the further he feels.
I shall distract myself, ohh nice DS! :) My pretty DS is right in front of me. Recently, I went Qishan and bought this cute taiko no tatsujin DS lite skin. So cute!~ It looks perfect on my DS!
Oh and I've Guitar woes now. I am contemplating whether to buy the Tribal package for $115 from Manning (that is if I take up his lessons) or go Bras Basah and select a cheaper guitar and personally hand-pick my accessories. It's so frustrating because guitar shops sells a standard set of guitars and there is not yet a shop that has both the Tribal and the other ones I want. So it's quite hard to compare. I saw the red Fina that Janice wanted to sell me too! But it was priced at $135 with no accessories, of course I could bargain but I don't really like pushing the prices here and there. And when I was playing it, I didn't really feel anything. This is what physical love is about huh.
I will make one more trip down to Bras Basah to look at Ranking Sports and to find bloody Parkland Shopping Mall. I don't know whether I should also consider the guitars from Davis Guitar shop too. But my heart tells me to go back to Ranking Sports, I wonder why.

I will not be made out of people's words. Sometimes it really hurts when people decides for me who I am and what I should be.
Let me try. I want to try as many things as possible with my own means, I've not interfered with nor infringed on anyone's rights. I don't understand why others will want to disrupt my line of thoughts or why they can't just let me be.
I know what I am doing, I am not mistaken. It's now or never because nobody can surpass time. Those who could not understand, please step aside. You can continue in your cycle forever.
So what if in your opinion nothing will come out of it? In my opinion, every try brings me closer to finding the answer. I'll not falter here, there is hardly any time left.

Recently, I have been sleeping more than 10 hours. Just now I woke up at 11.30am and went back to sleep again to realised that now it's already 3pm in the afternoon. What a scare. Looks like I won't be sleeping early tonight again, but I have to cause there is umpiring job tomorrow. My only motivation is the cash.
Umpiring national schools is really easy money. Cause you get paid about $30 dollars/hour. I earned $120 per day if there are 2 sessions and you get paid instant cash. Awesome huh.
I think my sleeping pattern is totally wrecked (not that I was sleeping any earlier before) because of World Cup. Although I never watch leagues and I have no interest in the players occasional news, I totally love the world cup. And I am not those people who are not interested, but sort of pretended to be just cause everyone is watching. I really do watch almost all the matches and I can say that I've watched 80% of it. Some people will ask if you are watching for the guys and I think that is totally ridiculous. The reason why I watch wc is because it's a world sporting event. How nice to see the whole of the world compete against each other and it's more exciting due to the fact that it's once in 4 years. Soccer is a sport that everyone can understand just by watching and I think that's the beauty that captivated me. And I think I will start to appreciate such events more as I get older. It's like if you are interested in the world cup, you've already grown old. The next time I am watching wc, I will be 25 years old. I still remembered watching wc when I was 17 and that already seem so far away form me. Time really waits for no one.
There is a certain beauty in world sporting events because you see the whole nation connecting. But I guess some people are just not interested at all...
Anyway I am once again addicted to Left4Dead2. HAHA It is still very fulfilling to murder zombies.
