Moving on…

I was supposed to have a job in Popular, but something tells me that I probably won’t get the job after all. The manager told me that she would call me back next week, but seriously, I really doubt that she would call. So now, new plan is to find another job.

I was considering MOS Burger, since it was the first job I thought of before I went into Popular to write out the application form. lol

I tried editing the code for Ren’py, for making a visual novel. I think I mentioned it before in the previous post. The Python code used to be super confusing to me because I totally didn’t understand how it worked. But then, after playing around with the codes for a while, I began to get the hang of it. It’s kinda like how HTML is to me right now though. I can read, understand and edit, but I can’t write out my own from scratch. It’s kinda frustrating but I guess I’m just too stupid for computers after all. lol

There is also another type of code (not sure what the name is) that is used in Aegisub. I’m slowly getting used to it, but I’m still nowhere near to learning how to properly understand and edit it. So far I can only change the colour of the text and stuff, but I don’t really get much of a chance to edit and play around with the effects since I always use pre-made ones that I find on YouTube. It’s pretty confusing, but its variety of effects is really amazing.

I began watching SKET Dance, and then reading the manga when I caught up with that. It’s quite interesting how both sides actually use things that can only be done in the medium to their advantage. For the anime, there was several things like the motion, visuals, music and timing that can be used to create a comical effect (and in several times when the characters break the fourth-wall), while the manga uses things like the frame size and the font (this is usually by the scanlation team, so I’m not too sure) for the comical effect (and they, too, break the fourth-wall). Somehow, though, after you read the manga, the anime starts to become… somewhat shitty. It was like that for Fairy Tail as well (coincidentally, both anime are done by the same studio, A-1 Pictures). The anime tend to add to many details that weren’t in the manga to make the story flow, but also tend to lose out on some vital information that might have made it more comprehensible or more interesting. That’s just my opinion, really. I can’t wait for the anime to adapt the OGRESS arc and the Happy Birthday arc as well. Those two were pretty epic and shocking. I find that the Switch Off arc was pretty nicely done in the anime. I felt like crying. T^T
Originally, while watching the anime, Dante quickly became my favourite character. It was also interesting to find out that his voice actor was GACKT. lol Feels like the perfect guy for him. XDD But then, while reading the manga, my favourite character became Tsubaki. He was also the cutest for the Biscuit Dance chapter, and it’s really interesting to watch how him and Bossun slowly grow closer as brothers (I’m kinda like Himeko for this part XDDD). Right now the manga scanlations are only until volume 18, though the manga already has 21 volumes released. That means that unlike manga like KHR and Fairy Tail, it’s is not being done week by week with the Shounen Weekly Jump releases.

I also watched Ao no Exorcist. The anime was pretty interesting, but it felt kinda cheesy near the end, when it started to diverge from the manga’s plot. I liked how the class banded together to save Rin during that court scene, and I was pretty disappointed that it was not in the manga. But one thing’s for sure is that the brother is going to become a demon as well. Poor kid.

Went to church today. There was this aunty, who is an acquaintance of my mom that got onto the newspaper. And guess what it was for. lol
Apparently, on an innocent trip to Johor, my mom’s friend was cheated of about RM 10k by this random guy on the street. And the thing was that the Malaysian police doesn’t bother to help stop the con-man. It’s kinda stupid, really. You would have expected them to actually do something about this, but they didn’t bother. But Singaporean police actually bother about things like this, maybe due to media. It’s kinda worrying how stuff like that is happening. What was that terrorist again? Mas Selamat? Well, that guy managed to slip past Singaporean police, and was caught by Malaysian police. Kinda makes you feel that Singaporean policemen are pretty useless. But then now you see that the Malaysian police force is pretty lazy towards con-men on the streets. It’s no wonder they would dare to do something like that so openly in broad daylight. I’m shocked.
I wonder what we can say about this. Singaporean police is only able to settle small problems like con-men, but not a serious one like a loose terrorist? Malaysian police is only enthusiastic about terrorists but not con-men? Actually, I can’t really say about the Singapore police force having the ability to settle small problems. It’s already common knowledge that if you happened to have something stolen by an unknown thief, you’re probably never going to get it back. Even when they write reports about the stolen belongings, they are mostly written halfheartedly. It’s obvious. If you lose a Nokia phone, the report writes Sony. If you lose $1 million, the report writes $100.

Seriously, you’re never going to get your stuff back.

I wonder why they even waste time to make shows like Crime Watch on TV. Are you seriously that bored? Do the police have so much time that they can actually go on to share with the media about their operations? It makes you wonder why they are even doing this. Is it for publicity? It’s really stupid that way, isn’t it? It feels almost as if the security of the country is held in the hands of the media.

Also, I heard something pretty shocking today. There was a Sec 2 girl in Singapore that actually went to Facebook to boast about slapping her nagging mother. Seriously? You actually went to slap your mother? If it was 20 years ago, just one word of protest from you would have made you unable to sit on your butt for a month. We have canes and discipline then. Parents were in charge of the house, and teachers were in charge of the school. Teachers can cane their students if they feel that the students have done something wrong. And parents support them. But now, what happens? A teacher hits a student’s hands, and the parents complain of child abuse. What the heck? Now my school even have parents complaining about having their child stay overnight in school for a 3 days 2 nights camp. What the hell?? Is it that difficult to let your child stay overnight in a school?? Is a terrorist going to climb over the school gates to put a bomb in the freakin school? Is a pedobear going to sneak into the school to molest the kids?? Are you stupid? Terrorists would rather put bombs in a government building than waste time breaking into a nameless neighbourhood school at night. And pedobears would rather go somewhere else than to enter a school at night where they may not even find anybody there. It’s kinda stupid what kind of things go through the mind of parents these days. I’m really baffled. Each generation may be getting smarter and smarter, but they are nowhere getting anywhere wiser. Now parents don’t even have the courage to hit their child when they do something wrong. Seriously, if you don’t hit them, they are never going to learn. If they don’t learn, it’s going to be even worse. Especially now when all the schools do is to make you memorise things, and not to learn. Education is really just to memorise now. You don’t get to learn the important stuff like character. Oh wait, we do have character development programmes. But the problem is that the kids themselves are so prideful that they stopped paying attention to those. It was already like that in my time, and it wasn’t difficult for me to see that I was the only one paying attention to character development classes. Sometimes I ask myself why I am I the only one, and then I realise that it was because of my mother’s old-fashioned method of taking care of kids. It’s like that. The fiercer the parents, the more obedient a child.

So what now? We have a nagging mother, and a girl who slaps her mother twice across the face for nagging at her. Okay, there is no proof if she really did slap her mother, but it’s a fact that she boasted about it. Really? Is it such a joyous thing to do? It is so honourable? Are you going to get a prize for it? Oh yeah, and I know that a lot of people are going like “She’s just a kid, don’t be so hard on her”, “She might just be immature”, and even “I hope that you’ll continue to be strong,” and shit like this. You’re just going to encourage the freakin bitch to continue. Even worse, inspire her friends to do the same thing. Yes, she’s a kid, and she needs to be lectured. If you’re just going to be nice to her, she’s just going to get worse. Wait for her to mature? F*** that! She’s freaking 14, and you want to wait for her to MATURE?! I was already thinking about my future, having dreams by then! She’s f**kning old enough to be mature!!
Oh yes, and I read about this comment too. “This is what I feel about the negative point of social media, people become too judgmental and jump to conclusions quick because of others’ opinions.” Oh well, I’m sorry for being judgmental, but you seem to be forgetting that she BOASTED ABOUT SLAPPING HER MOM?? In fact, I haven’t seen any other opinions about this, and I feel pissed already. It’s good to be nice, it’s good to be encouraging, but at the very least, LOOK AT THE PERSON YOU ARE ENCOURAGING AND BEING NICE TO. Somehow, I’m pretty sure she’s laughing at the idiocy of her supporters.

And is that all? Hell no. The girl strikes again. This time, she boasts about stealing her mom’s jewelry, pawning it for $10k, and then buying a LV wallet. No, better yet, she takes a photo with the money to show off. You still want to encourage and be nice to a girl like that? Are you stupid? Are you a moron? Have the memorising of shit in school caused you to be unable to judge a person by their actions?? Okay, seriously, I don’t care if the girl is hot or looks like crap, she’s just a freakin bitch. Really. I won’t be surprised if she started sleeping with boys from her school. That’s just how I imagine her. Yes, I’m prejudiced and judgmental, whatever you want to call me, but at the very end of the day, you have to see that the girl needs to be lectured and taught a lesson. Get all the fierce and strict teachers you can find. Tie up the girl in a prison cell or dungeon. I don’t freakin care what you do to her, but at least make her learn her lesson.

I pity her mother. But at the same time, she has to realise that the fault may have been in her way of educating her daughter.

Oh wow, I realise that I had been going on and on about complains. I’m not really sure why, but I guess I just get a little agitated over stuff like these. I hate those younger than me, somehow. I have general respect for those older, but usually I’m not that way to those that are younger. I don’t like the fact that they try to get close to me and do things without thinking about respect at all. Oh yeah, there is this junior from Red Cross, a Sec 1 girl I think, that is just like that. Once, she slapped me across the back, trying to say hi. What the f**k?! Is that the only way to say ‘hi’?! You do know that you are just beside me, and just one word of ‘Hello’ would do the job??

I freakin hate kids.

Back and alive and preparing to get killed

Today is 11/11/11. Something that happens only once a century. Next year people would be looking forward to 12/12/12… which is my birthday. lol

I’m left with only one paper left, which is Science paper 1. Once again I have to waste my time going to school for that one hour paper.

After the papers, I’m only left with trying to find a way to spend my time during the holidays, and I managed to get a job at Popular for around 2 months……

I want to get a tablet too. Managed to install Manga Studio EX4 and Paint Tool SAI, but a mouse doesn’t really help much with those programs. Haiz. I need to pratice more of my art traditionally too. I still can’t draw full body. Neither can I draw guys. >:

Had a few chats with Flint over YouTube. I need to continue with EV chapter 9. I’m very curious about how the story would end. *___*
He told me about other new story ideas he had, and I told him about mine. It made me realise that I should really try to finish one of the stories that I have in mind. I have about like… 10? lol

I began subbing videos again. Realised just how long it had been since I’d done that. I feel that Aegisubs really fails for timing. I spent quite a long time trying to fix the timing, but when the video came out, the timing was off. I subbed the trailer of Hotarubi no Mori e despite the movie already being out. But the DVD comes out next year… Maybe I should sub it then too. .__.

I began to watch Cardfight! Vanguard. I saw a peek of the English dub version on TV, and kinda got curious. The animation is kinda crap, but the character designs are pretty nice. For some strange reason, after watching ep 1, I just felt like continuing. And then I went on to watch the then 42 episodes of the anime within 3 days. I stayed up pretty late and camped under my blanket while watching the show on YouTube using my sister’s iPhone. lol
The first part of the anime was just full of crazy battle strategies and the introduction of characters. It’s funny how all their first names are in Katakana. Kinda makes no sense. And really, Kai-kun is always called Kai. No one calls him Toshiki, even though that’s his first name. .___.
The second part of the anime, after all the major characters were introduced, we get to see the shy guy turn evil. Aichi-kyun goes yandere and becomes ‘badass’. lol Sadly though, Tsu-kun (Yonaga Tsubasa, Aichi’s voice actor) can’t do cool voices. Yandere Aichi-kyun sounds gay. Reminds me of the time when Tsu-kun did Hanabusa for Yumeiro. Darn. But he also did the voice of Mihashi in Oofuri, and that character was adorable (character-wise) and extremely hilarious.
Oh yeah. This anime is pretty hilarious as well. That is partly the reason why I continued the show. XDD

I began to play around with the system of Ren’py for a visual novel I plan to make. I managed to settle the design of the buttons, but I didn’t know how to rearrange the Configure page or redesign the UI…… Haiz. More reading of the manual for me.
I’ve done the script for the first day of the game though, and half of the second day. I wrote up to the third day last time, but this time I tweaked it a little. Maybe I can post up a bit of it here. lol

There is a novel I want to write though, one that is based of my life. I’ve got the ending in mind (a pretty sad one >:), as well as about 80% of the centre, but I have no clue how to start the story. I’ve tried it from several perspectives, but none of them seem right. Hmm………
I think this is probably the only story of mine that has a sad ending. I felt that it was necessary to bring out the feeling of fate and realism. Here, the girl dies and continues to be dead, but her spirit watches over her friends. Other stories I just throw in magic and miracles and revive all the dead people like in Mai-HiME. ……Okay, I don’t. But this made me realise that I have at least one person dying in every single one of my story. Angst…? Almost feels like it’s part of me already. .___.

And no, I’m not a sadist. I don’t enjoy watching people getting injured and bleed to death.

I just finished Hanasaku Iroha today. I watched it in Chinese subs. I think it kinda improved. I can read the subs without any problems in understanding. lol I’m kinda happy about that. I still want to improve it though. It’s not like I’m gonna stop practicing Chinese just because my exam is over.
The show itself was pretty exciting. I find that the Ohana-chan and Kou-chan’s relationship is pretty slow… For 90% of the show I was going like “JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY!!” It was kinda sad when the inn was closed down though. I think there is a sequel or something coming next year. If it’s really a sequel, I’d really want to watch it. It’ll be interesting if Kou-chan joins the inn, but I doubt it. lol

I had a facial today. Right now I look like a white-faced alien with red spots.

Going to Kinokuniya tomorrow with Shiro. We plan to go take a peek at AFA also. I’m still sad over the fact that I can’t go to the Kalafina concert. Hopefully they come again next year. >.<

Can’t wait for Umineko Chiru PS3 to come out. lol

Right now I’m thinking if I should add my teachers on FB. That was my plan once I graduated from school. :P

今天就来试一试用华文来打字

看了看我以前所写过的故事时, 我发现到小时候的我写东西时真的是写到乱七八糟的. 我自己读了一点, 一边读, 一边叹气, 觉得自己以前真的是没有写书的才华, 都不知道为什么会开始写故事, 而且一半都没头没尾的, 都是我自己喜欢时, 自己写的. 还记得在小学时, 老师都常常会叫我到教室前, 把我写好的作文读给全班听. 她每一次都说我写得很好, 叫我的同学也都要跟我写的一样好. 唉呀, 老师啊… 被你这样一讲, 我变成班上每个人最讨厌的一个. 我是还是有朋友啦, 但我还是对班里所有的眼神产生了恐惧感. 真是的… 有时我还真的很好奇老师是怎样当的. 在我小学的生活里, 都没有一个我能好好的尊敬的老师. 最多也只有我小六的华文老师, 司徒老师, 而已.

其实要在电脑上打华文字也是有点难的. 打了汉语拼音还要选字. 打错字又要从新再打, 真麻烦. 我真佩服那些每天都要在电脑上打字的人. 这真的不简单. 真是的. 我只打了一些字, 手指就痛了. 真没用. 可能以后我也该写多一写华文字. 我发现到我所写的华文字都很丑, 很乱. 应该是因为我不常写吧.

MYE ’11 Exam Report

Well, what do you know? WordPress changed their layout! It’s not really very different or anything, making it easier to use, but it definitely looks neater. :3

Well then, on to my exam report which I forgot to do yesterday… LOL

I shall do this one by one. ^^

English

Oral

My reading was a mess because I was too nervous… @.@

For the picture discussion part, I had planned a lot to say, so it was pretty simple. The only difficult part was to adjust my ideas to answer the question the teacher posed. I managed to get band 1 for everything for this one. lol

The conversation… WAS DISAPPOINTING. I actually expected myself to be able to score better, because that was like, one of the most simplest areas of the oral exam. But sadly, IT WAS MY WORST. I guess I really can’t do anything unless I plan them. T^T

Paper 1

What happened for this one? I completely forgot… OH YEAH. LOL

For the composition portion, I wrote about ‘Secrets’, the topic of which is about the kind of secrets that adults hide from children. I guess I was kinda unhappy about my mother at that point of time, so I was really inspired to write something like that. The effect of the overall compo wasn’t really good. I didn’t really get to write it at the level I wanted. It felt kinda too boring, but improving it was somehow beyond my current skills.

Situational writing was a bit better as I placed my real life desire of wanting a school festival into the thing. The words just flowed out naturally like a river. >:3

Paper 2

This one was… how was it again? lol

This is like, one of the things I can’t really judge. I’ll just have to wait for the paper to return……

Chinese

Oral

My reading was… URGGGGGGGGHH!! T ^ T

Everything was so bad that I don’t even want to talk about it. >.>

I only got 28/40. I was aiming higher for around 30. This mark feels kinda average. =.=

Paper 1

Newspaper report. For this, I had tried a different style by going more interactive. I added many questions for the reader, and providing tons of examples to show my ideas and prove my points. Sadly, I was so focused on expanding my points that I forgot about the time. I barely managed to finish everything, and my final two paragraph was just some rushed work. @.@

Paper 2

This one felt a little bit better… I’m kinda neutral for this one since comprehension isn’t something you can be sure if you are confident or not. >.<

Listening

If I fail for this, I’m an epic failure.

Elementary Mathematics

Paper 1

Confident. I’m kinda okay with my e-maths papers, actually, and this one felt pretty easy. Sadly, Aruru later told us that it wasn’t done that well, but I felt that I’m in the minority of those who did well. But then again, the results might say otherwise.

Paper 2

Other than a few questions (*cough* darn *cough* circles *coughcough*) which I left undone, I was able to finish up everything else. This one had graph, and hopefully I can score well for it. Compared to a-maths, e-maths feels like nothing. ~w~

Additional Mathematics

Paper 1

THE KILLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERR!!

I think everyone died for this one (maybe expect for some smart-asses). Though there was more focus on differentiation and integration, most of them were non-doable. The only one question which I have proper confidence for is the first question. The rest was just… urgh…………………..

Right before the start of Paper 2, Aruru came to us and told us that Paper 1 was badly done.

Like we didn’t know it already.

Paper 2

OMG. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WHERE I WOULD LOVE ARURU.

The was SOOOOOOOOOOO much easier. >.< In fact, there was quite a number of give-away questions, if only they were not on last year’s topics.

I tried out the paper again earlier this morning, and there were SO MANY EASY QUESTIONS WHERE I LOST MARKS. -faints- I practically threw all those marks into the drain. ;A;

I have more confidence for this paper compared to Paper 1, but I doubt that I would really pass for this one. At the very least, I felt that I had improved a bit on the subject.

If only Paper 1 didn’t kill my self-esteem. Hmph.

Science

Paper 1

Physics and Biology MCQ questions.

Quite a number of trick questions. I got fooled half the time, and only managed to check through around 75% before time ran out. The only thing I can pray for is that I didn’t get tricked at the last 15%. MCQ is like the most stupid thing to get a fail for.

Paper 2

Physics paper.

This so was so badly done that I almost felt like jumping down the building and killing myself. I forgot almost all the most important formulas, even my FMA… (I only remembered that formula when I got back home later that day =.=) I held a lot of confidence for this paper, and the fact that I couldn’t do most of it made me feel like taking a knife and cutting my arteries.

Yeah, I’m turning emo.

Paper 3

Chemistry paper. I don’t take chem.

Paper 4

Biology paper.

I actually have more confidence for this than for my phys. What a surprise. The only problem for this paper was the essay questions, which I have never scored for before. That took away most of my confidence.

Humanities

Social Studies

Does this count as Paper 1? Nah, forget it.

I didn’t have time to finish up my reliability question, so there goes my 7 marks… Not that I can ever get an A for SS. Most of the time, I depend on my Lit marks for Humanities. lol

I was taking a big risk for the essay portion, as I only studied two out of the three essays that would be tested. Luckily for me, those same two essays came out. >.< As expected, Ms Yong is too nice and gives too many hints.

I’m kinda neutral for this paper. I’m not too sure if I’ll be able to do well or not, but I know for one thing that the Source-Based questions felt really simple and easy. If I can still score for that without those 7 marks, I’ll be really happy. lol

Literature

Didn’t have time to finish up my last essay. I also reduced what I wanted to write for my second essay as well. I had only written two points for that one, since I guessed that I won’t have enough time.

Well, my guess was right, but my final true cause of not being able to complete the essays was because I was too slack. I thought that I had enough time and didn’t rush through the last few paragraphs. In the end, I sacrifised them. x.x

Principles of Accounts

Paper 1

I could do most, but then again, I don’t have much confidence for this entire subject. Paper 1 felt slightly better than Paper 2, so I probably won’t be surprised if I do better for this paper. lol

Paper 2

I couldn’t balance my Balance Sheet, like always. Luckily, POA isn’t like maths where you have to be sure that you get the final answer to get the marks. There was this time where I could balance my Balance Sheet, but I didn’t get the full marks. lol

For everything else, it felt kinda okay, but I could have done better. That is what I feel.

Once the results come in during the June holidays, I will update this post with my marks. >.<

Exams are scary. T^T

I don’t think I had ever taken my tests as serious as this. But then again, compared to O levels, these are just tests to confirm my abilities for the various subjects.

For some reason, hearing that our tests would be taken in the hall almost made my soul jump out of my body. I was so nervous that I wasn’t able to think straight. But then, after more than one week, it feels so normal… In fact, it is pretty interesting. I like new experiences. ^^

Tomorrow is the last paper. Literary, the last paper. There is just this one hour MCQ paper for science which I have to take. And it ends at 9 am. Yeah, I know. It’s kinda stupid for us to have to go back for that one hour, and waste one more hour before it for the national anthem and stuff. It’s more practically to just give us that paper directly. =.=

But then again, that case is only for people like me. Most of the other students taking pure science have two papers tomorrow, so I guess I can’t really complain. I need to be understanding. ^^

One strange thing that happened for the past two weeks was that I felt like vomiting at the front of every paper. Maybe it was my dad’s simple breakfast, but even on mornings where I didn’t eat anything, I still feel like vomiting. It was most probably due to nervousness, but it still feels uncomfortable.

Right now, I don’t have any mood to study at all. I am tempted to go and buy that MCQ physics book, but the sad thing is that there is none for bio. Darn.

Also, for the first time ever, I think that I will fail physics. Despite have more confidence for it and having spent more time studying, I have little to no confidence at all.

Well, at least now I know where I stand for that. >.>

I shall make an exam report tomorrow about my feelings for each paper. May come handy when I want to revise for the subjects. XP

BITCHES ARE FLOODING THE WORLD!!! :O

I’M SERIOUS. BITCHES ARE FLOODING THE WORLD. I mean, for the past few weeks, I’ve seen and heard about people turning into bitches. REAL bitches. But just in case one of them find their way here, I’m not gonna name anybody.

Just today, Shiro showed be the Singapore cosplay forums, and I can see a few people complaining about bitches and stuff. And then, there are also those bitches appearing around me in school… Most are younger than me. Reminded me of how bad the character of kids are nowadays.

Anyway, Internet feels kinda boring now that I can’t watch any freakin anime. Really. Many of them look so good too…… T^T

I was actually thinking of turning this into an anime blog, but it kinda gets boring pretty quickly. Now I’m reverting it back to my personal blog, though I still allow public viewing (not that any people will find this blog interesting, anyway. My contents are mostly random.)

It’s kinda fun to read people’s blog. When you talk to a person, you won’t be able to hear what they feel inside. But when you read the blog of a person who writes out their heart on their blogs, you get to know them much better.

Well, of course, I had cases where reading people’s blogs made me so mad that I was even tempted to call the police (yes, I’m looking at you, Gaga-boy), while some others made me reflect on my own thoughts a bit. lol

Now, anything interesting that happened earlier this week… Hmmm…

For one, I was made to sing in the choir on Thurs, which made me rush back home right after RC (which also, thankfully, helped me escape the debrief… Those things get pretty draggy and stressful over time…), where I kinda offended some people playing ‘The Game’ (oh yeah, you just lost it XDDD). Since there was a game on Thurs, we kept talking about it and stuff. Whenever I asked ZH about it, he went nuts and was like “YOU MADE ME LOSE THE GAME!!” XDDD
Man, that was epic.

[Note: Since some dudes don't want to talk about it, I'll explain what 'the Game' is. It is, technically, a mental game where you will lose when you think about it. Everyone plays it, consciously or unconsciously. So, yeah. You just lost it.]

Now that I think about it, I REALLY SUCK AT COMEDY. OMG. And there I was, trying out different methods to create a comedic effect. I mean, I can imagine the scene in my head, I laughed at the scene, but I just can’t write it out perfectly and still bring out the comical effect. =.=

I’m such a failure…

Now I’m thinking up romance scenes. And I suck at that too, because I HAD NEVER READ OR EXPERIENCE ANY LOVE SHIT BEFORE. Except for the Twilight saga, but that is kinda not enough for my situation. Seriously. I can only look at shoujo manga and see how the scenes are described in monologue and drawn out. I’m so fail…

Another hype I’m entering is writing lyrics. Originally they were for my story, where the girl writes a few lyrics for a few songs which the male protagonist composed. It wasn’t the first time that I wrote lyrics, but it was still kinda tricky. Difficult to try and incorporate a rhyming system, some chim analogy and a proper meaning which is obvious yet hidden as well. Also, to keep the rhythm in place, I wrote the lyrics based off tune from real compositions.

That’s just how it works for me. x.x

There are actually so many things that I want to do… Oh yeah. I still have maths homework today… Shit………

ZERO. I DON’T FREAKIN LIVE IN JAPAN. TT^TT

13. What is a good memory concerning 10?
Their songs are sweet and pretty and the singer’s voice as as gentle as a small bell. >.<

14. Are there any songs of 8 that make you sad?
Not really. Their songs all seem pretty non-tragic, apparently.

15. What is your favorite song of 1′s?
BRAVE PHEONIX. >:3

16. How did you become a fan of 10?
When I first heard their song for CLANNAD’s opening theme.

ACUTE:ReACT & And a not so typical Friday……

I got so inspired by those two songs from WhiteFlame that I decided to start working on a fan-fiction. Since Marg said that shorter stories are good, I’m thinking of writing one simple and short one, based off those two songs.

And, yeah. The two songs are ‘ACUTE’ and ‘ReACT’.

ReACT was released more recently, and even the translations aren’t really made yet. I’ve only found one which wasn’t very accurate, but was still able to bring the entire story out.

I had found ReACT on NicoSound in the Ranking portion which usually puts up links to the currently most popular songs. Everytime, you will at least find one VOCALOID song there, accompanied by either anime songs or visual novel theme songs.

So, well, I went to try out the song AND IT WAS FREAKIN EPIC OMG.

After fanning over the song for about two days, I found out that it was a SEQUEL. The prequel was, of course, ACUTE. Apparently, the intro tune in ReACT was from ACUTE, while the chorus was also based off it.

Nevertheless, the music were both AWESOMELY AMAZING, and so was the story.

And thus, I got inspired to write a fan-fiction.

I’d posted up the prologue for it, http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6887542/1/ACUTE_ReACT

Basically, I just plan to combine both stories and start with ReACT, with flashbacks to ACUTE. I mean, that’s the order I came to know the songs in, and it just felt natural to do it so.

Anyways, it would be best if I provided some videos which inspired me to write the story. :3

My favourite version of ACUTE, sung by 6 different non-professional singers. And they sing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY BETTER THAN REBECCA BLACK.

ReACT, the original version. Since it’s still pretty new, covers like the one above would take a little while… But it would most definitely go everywhere like its prequel.

Technically, ACUTE is visibly darker and more complex, while ReACT ends more lively and hopeful, WHICH INSPIRED ME. OMG I REALLY LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CRAPPY. >:3

So yeah, gonna try writing out a fan-fic for this. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish this one.

Talking about Rebecca Black, thanks to that IN newspaper my school gives out, she became more infamous. And I can’t believe Ms Yong was actually convinced to play the video IN CLASS. OMG. When she asked me what was ‘Friday’ when the guys in the class began talking about it, I was like ‘It’s a video. You just need to search ‘friday’ on YouTube and you’ll find it.’ Okay, seriously, I meant the YT as a joke, but with a teacher right in front of you, a joke becomes less joke-like, and probably due to that she was convinced to search for the vid. -facepalms dramatically-

[JH should have stopped me then, seriously. Omg......]

…It was kinda my fault that our ears kenna polluted by her monotonous singing and bad taste of lyrics. Soweey~…

Well, anyways, today was kinda epic.

I was made to do a recording of a speech for convincing Sec 2s to take up lit. Well… it went longer than expected.

Originally, I felt that it would be okay with the script and all, until Mr Chua said,

“Let’s try it without the script.”

And I went “WTF?!?!?!” in my mind. =.=

So, that unexpected revelation of his plan took a while. Recorded like… 10+ videos. Majority were NG clips where I spoke too fast and stumbled. >.>

But, lol, Mr Chua tried to joke with me to lighten the mood, which did succeed, and strangely let me realise why he was a ‘good’ English teacher.

Throughout the thing he was giving me tips and suggestions, and got some water for my dry throat.
Also, I can’t believe how much paper I wasted. He just walked past this stack of majong papers and was like “Let’s use this” and tore a few out. And my reaction was like “Erh…… Are we allowed to do that…?”

Anyway, IT FELT AMAZING INSIDE THAT HIDDEN GREEN-SCREEN ROOM. LOOKED EPIC AND THE PLACE WAS FREAKIN SOUNDPROOF. THERE WAS A DRUM AND THE PLACE LOOKED AND FELT LIKE A REAL RECORDING STUDIO (and it actually is LOL) and I decided to be more open and told him, “I’m in IT club, actually, and this room was kinda ‘hidden’ for a few years………” But I’m the shy and quiet type when in ‘polite-mode’, so I tried not to talk too much. LOL

So well, recording went on for a bit. I felt like I should have tried for one more, but I was running late for RC, and had to leave. -still feels like she should have taken one more recording *headdesks*-

Anyway, went to RC in my school uniform as there was no time to change (was already 20 mins late). When I got there, my role as a senior was more amplified as the two Sec 3s there were at a slight loss at how to teach knots. I came over and helped, and I almost vomited blood. Maybe it was just my teaching method, but I tend to get a little irritated if the junior doesn’t learn well, before I calm down and remind myself that not everyone is a fast learner. -is a fast learner herself-

Anyways, managed to finish majority of the knots except one or two, and they went down for the FIRST PT IN MONTHS. WOOOOOTTS~~!!

Well, not that I did it, thanks to my uniform. I became the always-ever-useful-human-valuables-holder, and walked around the place as I practically slacked. And, well, the PT I/Cs ran too fast and a long row of cadets sat there as casualties.

Darn it, we need to work on their stamina. RC can’t be the weakest UG!! >:3

Well, as much as I’d like to talk about RC, there were some IT stuff that occurred too, and some other personal stuff.

This probably isn’t a safe place to say all of that — just in case the person in question happens over this blog — so I’m just gonna keep shut for a while.
But, anyways, I told Myra about what I was worried about, and she promised that she would help me check it out. What a nice girl. :3

…You know, often I feel like I belong more in IT. In RC, I just feel extra and not needed. Only in cases where I’m the only one who knows the subject at hand (like the knots tying and stuff earlier today) do people treat me more importantly. After that, I’m just extra. Sometimes when I talk, no one even hears it.

Okay, that part happens everytime, and I’ve learned to try and repeat my words. But many times I’d tried to say the same thing thrice or more and no one hears me. After that, I just give up on my topic and become a listener.

In IT, it is sometimes like that, but not always. At the very least, I know that I am able to properly communicate with everyone there, and they know how to take jokes and amplify them. It kinda makes me feel like I belong, and the fun and joy that I experience with them was certainly more closer than how I feel when I’m in RC. Well, not that I don’t joke with my RC people, but sometimes I don’t get into their conversation much. They see me, they smile, they say hi, and that’s the end of it. They turn to the others and talk, and I’m hinted to have been invited into the conversation, but most of the time I’m not in it.

Gosh, this post is getting long. Sorry for making all of you read my rants. LOL.

Maybe I should try what Sebastian does to his blog, adding colours and stuff. Maybe that would make it less boring.

Oh, are you sleep from reading all that already?

IT’S NOW OVER. YOU MAY WAKE UP.

Oh, which reminds me——

Okay okay, I’ll shut up now. :P

First Post in Eternity

It has been a long while since I last posted anything. I began to realise that the blog felt less personal after having been moved to WordPress as the blogskin here feels more static than Blogger… Plus the fact that I had always been writing with the mindset that I wanted people to read it.

In the past, I used to write my blog for myself, and readers are just non-existent for me. Just today, Shiro showed me the blogs of two of my friends, and I realise the original joy of writing a blog. The main reason of why I get tired of things so easily is probably because it slowly became an obligation rather than something I do for fun. That might also be the reason why I often grow tired to writing my stories for a while. It feels like an obligation to write everything out instead of having the ideas playing around in my head. But then I will always come to remind myself that if I do not write down my ideas somewhere, I would either come to forget about it or I might suddenly die and the stories end for eternity.

But I fail at writing short stories. They always seem to grow so long……… Haiz…

Maybe now I should try writing out blog posts again. I might even put up my stories here. Hahahaaaa~

O levels is becoming a bore now. Sometimes I find studying so boring that I don’t even bother taking out my books once I reach home. Holiday mood is so difficult to kick off…… =.=

Right now, I’m attempting to try and write comedy and action. The current story which I’m writing and constantly updating on FB mainly involves all those. Technically the story has been inspired by quite a lot of sources, and I’m just putting them together like some random parody.

So, technically, the brief plot of the story:

Elizabeth is a girl whose life had been strangely bleak since childhood. Eventually, when she enters Secondary school, she found friends whom she can enjoy life and have fun with. But though she appears normal and all, Elizabeth is actually haunted by some faint memories of her childhood and the existence of a futuristic equipment, Einziges Herzens. Elyse, a mysterious girl who appears in her dreams, often comes by to warn her of coming tragedies around her regarding the Herzens, while a young man, Rayner, who appears in both her dreams and in reality, provides her tips and advice. Eventually, Elizabeth gets involved in the life-stories of people around her, the tears, laughter and experiences they make as they go through adolescence, the bridge between childhood and adulthood.

I like sci-fic stories too much. I tend to prefer logical storyline, so magical girl-themed stories always seem to fail on me. Nevertheless, I still love fantasy and mythology, so I have no problems in having to accept stories like those. In face, I’m currently writing a short story collection of stories about an Utopian society where mythological creatures resides in peace.
