*sob* I just finished watching Nobuta wo Produce. *sob*

*sobsniffAHHHHHHHHH*

I love that drama. As much as I love Kurosagi even though no one agrees with me. But I do wish Akira(Yamapi's character) had stayed with Nobuta(Maki's character) in the end. But it's okay, because Yamapi gets Maki in Kurosagi.

I love the irony.

In Nobuta, Yamapi pines after Maki. In Kurosagi, Maki pines after Yamapi.

YAY.

Here's a very cute video. I actually like the song more than the video, but it's a well done up video anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeOrfC6VKrE

I've been slacking very badly. Not writing, not practicing guitar, not doing Math homework. Sigh.

Yesterday I went to Kinokuniya to spend my vouchers. I ended up buying only LYT's book, a comic for my brother and a pen. Tsk.

I have this massive lists of things to buy, but GAH.

Sometimes spending money is a pain. I feel I can understand a little how Scrooge feels.

Oh well. Let me go sacarstically encourage LYT's fetish for Prison Break. A fetish which I, unfortunately do not share. Like LYT does not understand my love for NOBUTA and KUROSAGI.

Til next time!


-1:36 PM

I'm perioding... So it's a good thing it's a school holiday for me. But I just finished Kurosagi *sob* It's so fabulously unsatisfying! I await the December Kurosagi special.

But it's such a nice companion to Nobuta wo Produce, because in Kurosagi, 'Nobuta' likes 'Akira'. Hohoho...

I haven't even finished Nobuta yet. Sigh.

I've been rotting away in Youtube all day. I can't bring myself to start writing or anything.

To prove my point, I have nothing to blog about. Gah.

Til next time.


-3:21 PM

Be prepared for a looooong testimony. Well, actually not really, because I'm too excited to keep typing.

So, today, I was filing report books with Xenia, feeling like an utter robot, and then this teacher came and asked for me. I was like, Great, more Chairman work. And it turns out I won something for one essay competition! I went YAY, which prize? And the teacher said, Oh, first prize. And you won first prize for the other essay competition. So yes, you are a very rich lady.

...

AHHHHHHHH. (x2000)

You understand the shock-cum-AHness. So now I have a 30 Kinokuniya $10 book vouchers and one Borders gift card. I am going to be swimming in fiction. Whoo...

Thank God, truly. I promise to find a way to give back to Him through book vouchers. Hm. I was faltering between having faith in winning through Him and the reality that sometimes it just doesn't work like that. Well, God says it does work like that.

YAY.

How's that for 'God loves me' evidence? God loves you too!

Now I'm off to indulge in the latest Nobuta episode and the next episode of Kurosagi. Why do Japanese dramas have so few episodes? Only 10 or 11 episodes... *sob*

Oh well. I'm off to laugh hysterically to myself. Tag comments on my insane highness!

Til next time!


-6:56 PM

I'm so high but there's no one to share it with me.

My favourite character in Nobuta whom I really really really want to get with the girl is acting in another show where he acts with the same girl and this time does get the girl ;) YAY.

But then I feel so sad because nobody watches Nobuta. So I can only celebrate by myself. Nobuta Power! I tried getting Yanting and Yvonne to watch, but they're all too busy. Whoo.

I better go bathe. My mom dragged me out to exercise even with the HAZE.

Til next time!


-9:02 PM

I just came home from watching Death Note with Wan Ying, Kheng Leng and Chelsea. It was not as gory as I had expected, and much more interesting, but I doubt I'll be catching the sequel, which is just plain creepy.

As we were queuing for tickets, my teacher called to inform me to pass down the relay system for all students to write an entry for an English essay competition, which I had entered months before. Apparently, there was not enough entries. Great. More competition. No offense. Except that I have noticed that there is much potential competition all around me, but most people can't be bothered to move their pen.

Anyway. I was reading my entry for a few old essay competitions and I was like, Oh no. I cannot believe I didn't do better. How on earth do I expect to win? And the first prize, which I had been planning to use to buy Christmas presents.

I have got to get over myself.

I'm pooped. Going to read the latest Artemis Fowl sequel.

Til next time.


-6:43 PM

Wow. Now that was professional filming. The crew consisted of one producer and two camera men, and they were all very friendly and casual. The producer really reminded me of Yvonne. In a good way ;) They took the interview first (I didn't have to speak a word of Malay!) and then took some random shots. They stayes for almost two hours. Can you believe the aired footage will only be a minute long? Gr. And it's airing in March. Like, next year. Whew. I premiered our film two weeks after starting filming.

Anyway, besides that, this morning all the non-uniform and non-sports CCA group members (in other words, the lazy half of the school) went hiking up Bukit Timah hill with the Outdoor Adventure Club. It was very tiring, but very fun. We attempted to sing, but there really was no breath to be spared from respiration.

Tomorrow I'm watching Death Note with Yanting, Kheng Leng, Wan Ying and maybe Chelsea and Olive. I don't care much for the movie (it's not horror. It's a supernatural thriller) but I like going out with them. YAY.

I tweaked my guitar today. I'm returning to classes at the end of the month. Hello callous fingers.

Yanting is neglecting me again. I suspect she secretly is keeping an obssessive hobby on the computer that prevents her from doing anything else. Basically hypnotising her. So that she never talks to me. And I think it's spreading. Kheng Leng is pretending to be offline. I know she's pretending because she says so herself, she's never online.

So nobody's talking to me. I'm lonely.

Oh well. All geniuses are weird, mad loners. I'm well off enough already.

Til next time!


-6:59 PM

Yesterday was the official premiere of the film. And if applause is anything to go by, the film wasn't half bad. Despite all the stress and depression, it felt good.

Today I handed in the DV tape version to the teacher in charge. Whew. Over and done with.

I went to the Singapore Art Museum today with my class. It was really fun, and there my favourite art piece was the blank canvas with the words: "THIS ART IS NOT TO BE VISUALLY INTERPRETED", or something to that extent. And a whole bunch of us crowded there staring at it trying to understand. I LOVE it. ;)

And after that I attended a workshop, and Kheng Leng was really nice to me :) so I had a good time even though I didn't want to be there at all. YAY.

Lol. I think I seriously need help. I started on the first draft of a book, an old project, but now I'm finally penning it down. And it seems to have made me high. That, plus the release of the film, has completely made me mad.

Anyway. How come Yanting is not online? She doesn't read my blog anymore. Nobody does (note the depression sinking in once again) except Kheng Leng (who is too nice not too). And if you do, TAG.

I have no topic today, so I've decided to type about the thought-provoking art piece I love so much while waiting for the next episode of Nobuta Wo Produce to load, which is very efficiently uploaded by brilliant Youtube user thinkingofyoux.

So I chanced upon this fascinating piece of written art and set out upon deciphering it. At first I thought it was the line on the ground which separates the viewer from the art piece, so I crouched down and peered very meaningfully at it until someone (Yea Wen, I think) told me what it really was. So I laughed at myself (scaring Kuei Rong into thinking I had gone crazy because I was acting high) and proceeded to peer meaningfully at the art piece instead.

I believe I saw a glowing strand set in the middle of the blank canvas, but Zheng Yang was convinced it was just a random accidental splash of chemicals. I doubt that, but Olive declared that it was an optical illusion which we should stare at for 40 seconds before staring hard at the blank canvas and we would see some secret code or something.

I think Chelsea came the closest to the truth. She said the art work was really the reaction of the people trying to understand the statement. I am inclined to believe that, as it said "VISUALLY INTERPRETED", so the meaning behind the art piece would not be found on the art itself. Of course, I didn't tell Chelsea that or she'll get high, too.

And thus ends my blog entry for the day. Oh yeah, Kids Central is coming tomorrow to interview me on the Malay Special Programme. I know, KIDS CENTRAL? On MSP? I have no idea how I'm going to get through that. But, oh well, one always has to start out small.

AND THEN ONE DAY I WILL RULE THE WORLD.

Yes, I am high.

Til next time!


-8:16 PM

Ugh. I am BORED. Yes, like Yanting, I have been reduced to using that word. Because my fellow bored companion is currently engaged in brainless activity: computer games.

I finished the film, this time in satisfaction. Tomorrow I have to ask if my teacher is still willing to submit it for me. Or I shall send it in myself. And yes, I have produced it in a DVD so Kheng Leng, you can watch it tomorrow.

Whoops. Here's a treasure: looks like a Japanese drama called Nobuta Wo Produce. Now I've found something interesting on Youtube. HA, Yanting. I'm not a mindless robot twiddling my fingers on the keyboard to make a virtual figure sing and dance. At least I'm an artistic robot inhaling fresh hilarious ideas from the internet.

I take my leave (conveniently forgetting the topic of the day).

Til next time!


-3:57 PM

I am angry. And anger+me is not a pretty sight.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I WASTED ALL MY TIME AND MENTAL SANITY. ALL BECAUSE- ALL BECAUSE- ARGH. It is always an emotional capacity when you refuse to use vulgarities.

Let me calm myself down enough to explain. If one has been following my recent posts, you would easily realise I was struggling to finish a film. I was under immense stress because the dateline for the submission was tomorrow. SUPPOSEDLY.

My mother, feeling the stress on my part, decided to call the organisers to inquire on the dateline. And APPARENTLY it's been postponed. TO THE 21st, WHICH IS ONE WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK LATER.

And I've rushed and crashed-filmed and despaired and edited and stressed out and they say THE DATELINE IS POSTPONED?! Is this ignorance on the part of myself, or THE TEACHER IN CHARGE? Who also happens to be the one who marked my English paper.

And gave me a decidedly disappointing score. Gr. GR, I say.

It was a good essay. A very nice one. Unless it was out of point, and if so I will not argue. But otherwise...!

I am sad. I am depressed. I have reached the stage after initial anger. DESPAIR. For the second time this week. Why? Because I zipped through everything and wasted all my time when I could have taken my time and produced a better piece of work. A presentable piece of work. I am very unhappy.

DIE EVIL NEGATIVE EMOTIONS.

Sigh. Anyway, in other news, I received a select few of my results today. My Chinese is a failure, quite literally, but my Literature is satisfactory.

Bleach 247 rocks, by the way. It cheered me up. RUKIA AND ICHIGO FOREVER.

Ahem. So... I don't really have much to say today. What about a picture then?

Aw... This is a cut from a great manga with a TERRIBLE ending (because nobody got the girl), called 'Penguin Brothers'. Oh well. I'm off to slack.

Til next time.


-1:51 PM

We finished filming two days ago. Unbelievable, but we actually managed to complete filming in two days, but actual working under 24 hours. Of course, because of the time limit, I missed out a few connecting scenes, and am forced to edit the script again. I might lose five years of my life span over this. -_-

And yesterday, Kheng Leng, Yea Wen and I went to Amanda's house to do voiceovers and finish editing. Unfortunately history repeated itself when I forget that Amanda's computer does not have a compatible plug/wire/whatever and we could only do voiceovers.

Guess who's doing video editing alone?

Not that I'm complaining. It's like a sadistic kind of pleasure, because I'm all stressed out and frustrated but I love cutting and pasting those wretched clips of film to create a random piece of art. I'm quite at a loss though, and I am at the verge of despairing.

Winning is not on my to-do list, I'll say that much.

Anyway, at around 4pm, I'm meeting my friends to go celebrate Olive's birthday. We're going bowling. I hope the birthday girl doesn't break any bones (joke). And then after that I'll head to net group alone. I have no sense of direction whatsoever, so I'm reading maps in an attempt to avoid getting lost.

I better continue my editing (excuse to not use brain juices for topic of the day).

Til next time!


-6:49 PM

Hello. Filming commenced today, and it was quite successful. I had lots of fun with the cast and crew. After we filmed in school (we had to find another rooftop because the scheduled one was under renovation -_-") we headed to Chelsea's house. It's a really spacious house, and I daresay everyone had a great time eating pizza, swimming and playing Playstation in between filming.

Well... I'm not in the mood to blog today. But I'm so BORED. I feel like Yanting, using the B-word.

Anyway, I'm very concerned about tomorrow. For one, we need to complete filming. And we're going through our test papers so there will be no time to film. Gr. Secondly, I don't know if we'll be getting our papers back, and I am FREAKING OUT. You know the times when you sail through your exams only to realise your results are an absolute failure? I think this is one of those times.

I am pooped. I shall go pull out a photo for you.
Can you say 'Aw'? I know I can for a few million times in a row.

Til next time!


-5:21 PM

Wow. PIE was... strange, in a word.

Let me start from the beginning. I arrived at school a bit before 3pm and met Yanting. We (actually, Yanting) started painting blocks we were to sell, and I poked about my things to make sure they were all intact. Then Xin Yu came, followed by Kheng Leng, Wan Ling, Yea Wen, Wei Qing, Olive and it was quite an affair as the people flitted in and out. Then Amanda, Wan Ying and Chelsea arrived with their items and I started stressing out on marking everything down. After awhile we headed to set up our stall and began displaying items and hanging signs. More people came and then the festival started.

Then many interesting things happened. For one, nobody seemed to be buying anything, but the money box kept becoming heavier. Two, everyone kept bustling in and out so it was sweltering, especially with the increasing haze. Nothing seemed to be missing from our table, and I was quite depressed. But twoone was very active and enthusiastic, so it didn't matter that I was grumpy because everyone was making up for my negative ions. :)

I was- no, am very impressed with the human spirit. I don't know what kept us going. It made me feel... encouraged.

Anyway, the haze proved to be a very wet blanket. The PSI reached a very unhealthy level, it seems, and the school committee finally decided it was dangerous enough to chase everyone out. The haze made everything foggy and very dusty and I felt suffocated. We threw everything into the classroom and emptied out of the school.

Then my dad picked me up to return home and we enclosed ourselves inside and watched the little icon at the corner of the television screen increase as the air-conditioner level decreased. But I awoke to a lovely blue sky this morning. I had almost given up hope of seeing a clear sky.

Well. One project gone and another awaits. Tomorrow, filming of 'Dear Sir' will commence even as the rest of Nan Hua High sleeps due to Marking Day. Sigh.

It's nothing personal, I love my grandma. Just that being with her and my estranged relatives is stifling. I know they're good people, I just kind of live in a different universe. Like, they speak Hokkien and I speak, well, English with a dash of Chinese. Let's face it: It's difficult to relate. I don't function the way they do.

So today's topic was relations. I actually can relate much better to my relatives on my mother's side because they are pretty much the same age as me, and after all, I speak their language.

So languages and generation gaps all affect the level and intimacy of relationships. Of course, I admit that if I attempted to listen and learn more Hokkien and understand the way my relatives are coming from, I expect I would be able to accept them fine. So willingness is also a factor in relationship-building.

Point made. I shall now go prepare and do last minute edits to the script.

Til next time.


-12:33 PM

The haze is getting into me. I was convinced that the haze would cause everything to stop, including PIE, but surprisingly enough, no call came informing me that the celebrations are cancelled. Instead, I received messages from classmates all ready and geared up to go. It feels good to know that some people are prepared. Because I am far from it. But no matter.

I suppose I thought that the haze would affect everyone greatly, especially once it reached the unhealthy range. But people still went on driving private vehicles, locking themselves up in air-conditioned rooms, and of course, lighting candles in honour of Lantern Festival. I have a good mind to ban candles tonight.

It shows ignorance, that people seem to treat haze as a passing trend, and continue polluting and increasing the level of pollution. But then again, it shows the strength to move on. "Like, it's only haze?"

I can't remember the last time I saw a haze this bad. Or maybe I just didn't care then. Hm.

PIE seems to be taking off well thanks to the determined help of Xin Yu, Chelsea, Kheng Leng, Yanting and Yea Wen. Yesterday, we breezed to JEC to eat, waltzed over to Popular, bused to IMM to brainstorm at Daiso (and made a loud fuss), picked several fantastic ideas, missed a bus, went back through Popular and landed in the library in the end. All in all, had a great though tiring time with them.

Then I went swimming and tired myself out more.

It was an awesome day.

No topic today. Bleach 98 is downloadable now. I don't think I will be able to understand it. Oh well.

Til next time!


-11:59 AM

NEW. BLEACH. OPENING. AWESOME.

Because it's alternate universe with all the story outlines and of course, a hint of IchiRuki. WATCH IT.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=SzxVbUKx0SA

Anyway, last exam (Art) tomorrow. And I'm zapped. No energy whatsoever. I fasted from the internet a few days ago, and I realised there's more to life than the computer. I can actually survive without breathing in computer positive ions! Amazing. I should fast more often.

Just felt like blogging like a normal person before reading the LAST CHAPTERS OF SPIRAL. Ayumu likes Hiyono who is not really Hiyono but I'm sure she likes him too. YAY AYUHIYO.

I'm so excited I want to wait even longer before concluding my journey with Spiral. But who cares.

Til next time!
