OH YEAH ONE DAY LEFT. To be exact it's 14 hours left :D

HBD

Happy birthday to my dear Younha hehe (I'm in time!). 27 this year :x

It's been 6.5 years since I fell in love with her voice haha. Over the years her singing techniques have changed, it's more refined now, but I do hope she'll go back to covering more rock songs like in the past haha! She's not the best singer out there, but definitely one of the best Korean singers of her generation. Her songs have played a big role in my life thus far (the entire of my secondary and JC life) yep so it's really not something that can be easily replaced.

I shall stop my fangirling hahaha. Below is a video of her performing (last year) a song that she self-composed and wrote the lyrics for, titled "That Street". Sorry about the Chinese lyrics (fantizi some more haha) but I feel that the English translation is just too lousy lol.

P.s. If her name sounds familiar to any of you anime geeks, it's because she sang for one of the Bleach songs, Houki Boshi ^^





That Street lyrics:

溫暖陽光都隨你散退的街上

夜幕降臨滯留在那條街

不知不覺一兩盞照著我

為躲避燈光而加快步伐

為了你 你為了我

說要必須轉身離開

為了我 我為了你

真的做了最後道別

不再是一次兩次的離別

隨時間消逝就會忘記吧

明白這些的我

不知該怎麼辦

獨自走過那條街的我

微笑都隨你離去的街上
沿著冷雨連連的那條街
不知不覺走進黑暗巷子
你不在卻感受你的氣息

為了你 你為了我

只說必須要轉身離開

為了我 我為了你

真的也做了最後道別

不再是一次兩次的離別

隨時間消逝就會忘記吧

明白這些的我

不知該怎麼辦

獨自走過那條街的我

其實我沒有那樣自信

若一體重新變成兩人

也可能就此無法挽回

若你也害怕成為我的全部

同行的路也就走到了盡頭

已不再是一次兩次的離別

裝作沒事發生般回來才好

相信這些的我

不知該怎麼辦

獨自走過這條街的我

Ben Folds Five - One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces

I first got to know about this song a few years back when my favourite singer covered it haha. Watch the piano parts, it's freaking crazy @.@ I went to download the piano score sheet before, but whoaaaa no way man it's way too high level LOL.

"Love your parents. We are so busy growing up that we often forget that they are also growing old."

###Just wanted to give a heads-up that this post is something very personal about my family yups so let's keep everything here yea? :) Actually for all other posts as well haha.###

Around this time last semester my grandmother passed away. Can't believe it's so fast, it has been almost half a year.

Tomorrow we are supposed to go pray for her since it's her birthday, but my mum told me not to go if i need to study for my exams. Yea so I'm not going. I wanted to go actually, because I wanted to just show my love for her in any way I could, but I was unable to convince myself of the significance of going to pray for her. They said that she would have already reincarnated some time ago, so what's the point of doing this then? It's at the most to make ourselves feel better, or to remember her, but you don't necessarily have to do this to remember her. Idk, the whole afterlife thing is so abstract and unfounded. So yeah no point in going tomorrow. Or any subsequent ones, except major ones like the death anniversary la.

Anyway, today over dinner I had a realization that it is soon the time for the role reversals at my home. Over the past few days while I've been mugging away in school, my dad has been going for a few checkups because his blood pressure went up super high all of a sudden. Fortunately the tests turned out fine, but there wouldn't be no reason why his bp suddenly went up so high right. The doctor was also unable to give a reason though. He once did a checkup and found out that he has too much calcium that is can potentially block some blood vessel at his heart. I guess it could be because of this, but we don't know why he has excess calcium.

So now I'm really afraid that something might happen any moment since his bp is still fluctuating. I have been taking his health and the things he's been doing for us for granted. I will not know what to do if anything happens. I have not done enough for him. In fact I haven't done much for him. So please let nothing happen, not now.

As for my mum, she was mentioning over dinner about how the polyclinic nurses (she went for a checkup today) considered her as a patient with heart diesease even though she doesn't, simply because she has high bp, high cholesterol and diabetes, which puts her at high risk of a heart diesease. That's when it reminded me of the seriousness of her health. I mean, because she's had high bp and high cholesterol for as long as I can remember, her having high bp and high cholesterol didn't occur to me as being much of a concern. Then a few years back she became diabetic,which I knew was bad and it was also kinda expected because of heriditary,but I thought that this was already the worst scenario. I never considered that it could further escalate into a heart diesease, which is even scarier since it can happen unexpectedly.

Yeah so now I'm worried about my parent's health. Perhaps it's time for us to be the ones taking care and worry over them. I'm gonna cherish them even more from now and not leave any regrets.

Can't believe I cried while typing this hah. Emotional kid. What a post to be writing in middle of finals.

Stay healthy guys. Love your family and me. Haha i kid. Love your family and friends, above everything else.

<3

I AM SHO TIREDZ. Sorry friends if you realise that I've not been talking during meal times, it's just that I'm too tired to talk haha. Talking takes up way too much energy. To be more exact I'd say that listening is too energy consuming cuz you have to THINK in order to be listening. I just need my brain to blank out during meal time for it to take a break. Nothing in, nothing out.

Freak man I hate finals. Can't believe we have to go through this another 6 times kmn. Keep wanting to curse these days lol die it's becoming a bad habit. Nonono. I must contain the devil in me.

Feeling damnnnn screwed haha. Crappy dooloooloooloolololo.

Just watched a rather disturbing video on FB that some guy shared. It's a Japanese variety show or something. Shall not go into details but to put it simply, I don't really like how they sexualised women like wtf. I like Japan and their culture, but definitely not this culture. Full of MCPs zzz.

Bleach Opening 2 HD ENG SUBBED...with lyrics :)

Sorry dudes, I can't possibly stop my anime OP/ED spam without this song. It's my NUMBER ONE song from Bleach I swear. I kept spamming it lol. I guess this is why I love rock songs now hahaha.

Joe Inoue - CLOSER

Ahaha I forgot about this song for so long. One of my favourite Naruto songs!

Why am I suddenly listening to anime songs again XD Ah the nostalgia haha.

桜日和

This song never gets old. One of the best Bleach openings/endings :)

Run Devil Run

Run run run. I went for a run this afternoon, and tonight. They were different variations of running though.

If you get what I mean.

Why can't people just be more direct. Simple and straight to the point. Just say what you think.

Takeaways from the drama-mama happenings today:

1) The impression we have of a person often is not an accurate (or adequate enough) representation of the kind of person he/she is, even if you have known that person since the very day you were born. As I have mentioned before, we can never fully understand a person unless we have been through the exact same situations as him/her.

2) Drama doesn't only happen in shows. That's why they say 戏如人生，人生如戏。

On a separate note, my mum has been rather stressed these days sigh. Her workload at work is no joke. I have always admired her for her commitment both at work and at home, and even with family matters. Just another 3-4 more weeks and we'll be off to Aussie where you can relax! :)

Done with lsm for this sem! :D Oh wait there's still one more article quiz next week haha but it's nothing much la.

Still left with ES presentation on Tuesday. Sian I must be one of the last few people to present in the entire cohort haha. I wanted to present yesterday but apparently everyone thought the same way. It's very funny cuz our assessor on the first day was Peggie Chan, she's supposedly a strict tutor la, so many people who intended to present on the first day backed out. For the second day we had a different assessor who seemed much friendlier. So when she asked who wanted to volunteer to present that day, everyone who hadn't presented volunteered, EVERYONE LOL. She was taken aback by our enthusiam XD Since there were too many volunteers (how rare is that) we had to draw lots and as usual luck wasn't on my side haha. Kinda expected it already though. Oh well. Yup so I'm presenting next Tuesday to PC again T.T I'm gonna own her hehe.

With the end of this week, I'm left with two weeks to the start of the exams. Still have a loooot to catch up on. I'm still at chapter 6 for Math oooooops. But it's okay I can do this! :D I'm gonna be skipping on shg the next 3 weekends though sigh. Feel so bad but I really need the 4-5 hours (including travelling time) each weekend. At least for this semester I only have 3 final exams.

Anyway met up with xiaomin today haha! She came to nus to study with her cuzzie so I tagged along ^^ Yay only if you are studying in nus we could study tgt more often like during A lvl prep, studying at PP coffeebean haha! If only I'm still staying at Tanjong Rhu I could go smu to study too. Sigh I miss dhs days. Those were the days you got to see your close friends everyday, any time. Now it's so hard to even meet up sometimes with everyone's busy schedules. But it's good because it means that everyone is living a fulfilling life. I miss all of you guys! :(

To my uni friends, I'm very thankful for all your constant encouragements and concern. Really, even though I may not be lucky (in terms of tikam-ing mcq answers or drawing of lots), I feel that life has blessed me with just enough luck to have met these kind souls. :)

I'm a believer of fate. If things in life don't turn out the way you want them to, there's probably a pretty good reason why it doesn't. It's simply an episode of a lesson in life, meant for you to face the challenges and to grow. Everything will turn out fine in the end~ This is the way how life guides you to the right direction. These are just my personal beliefs haha.

Oh well this is enough for tonight. This is quite a random post haha. Time to sleep and prepare for the next 2 weeks of mugging! Jiayou everyone!!!

Jealous dog

Hehe today Ruby was jealous over this toy Husky that my mum bought from Taiwan when she went for her business trip. It's super funny cuz I think she really thought that it's a real dog.

This morning I was playing a little with Ruby, when my mum passed me the toy Husky. So i started to pat the Husky and whatnot but Ruby clearly didn't like how her attention got snatched away from her hahaha so she tried getting my attention by licking my hands and legs. The funniest was when she squeezed herself onto my lap even though the Husky was on my lap already HAHAHA. Despo Ruby. It was damn amusing :p So we continued teasing her for a while hehe.

It's really cool though to analyse animal behaviour. They really are just like humans. Even if they may not understand what you say at times, but I believe that they can feel it from your tone. Certain breeds especially are more emptionally sensitive.

I've always had a dog in my home for as long as I remember, except during the year or so after Suki (my first dog) left us. It was sad, and I regretted not giving her more attention then. She was quite a lonely dog. It could also be because of her personality though, she's way less active than Ruby. Yeah but because of this regret I had, it's a comstant reminder for me to treat Ruby well.

Haha yep so when I have kids in the future, I also want them to grow up with a dog :D

Fight the Night

Let's move along, it's late
The sun will rise once again
This field is lined with the brave
Souls in relief

Idk if it's a good or bad thing that I'm beginning to feel so non-chalent about it, I was even rather surprised at myself today. It's like I don't even feel anything now. Can we even be considered as friends right now? I really cannot be bothered anymore. Don't take things for granted. There are so many other people who are more worth of my time. So I think this is a good thing. Some people just suck.

Feeling so damn tired after sleeping late the past few nights... I'm really not a person who can function normally with minimal sleep sigh. I'm feeling so screwed for es presentation, I can't seem to get over my stage fright. I need some brainwashing to be done to myself. Wash wash wash. Lsm test next Friday also, finals start in about 3 weeks, but excluding next week I have about 2 weeks to salvage myself. Freaaaak.

Goodnight. Off to my nightmare.
