Updating time!
What was up this week?!
Wellllll, I had a couple of what I call my ‘bad-mood-days’ (mood swings) cos I’ve been under a lot of pressure from MYSELF.
HAHAHA.
It’s good to pressurize yourself at times but when it’s just too much, you just feel like collapsing.
Long hours in school have been a norm and I’m quite used to it already (thank god!).
I’m trying to get myself or rather, my brain, organized.
Of course, when the mental state is getting a revamp, the physical state suffers.
What else?
Hmm, Chinese has been relatively quite easy for me (except for the tones, I resent it) and seriously, I’m like already used to Japanese Kanji so writing or remembering Chinese characters are quite alright.
In fact, Japanese characters are more difficult than Chinese characters since they’re using the simplified version and not the traditional (unless you’re in China, of course).
Teacher knows that I could recognize characters when she haven’t taught the class any yet.
It’s great being one of the best in class, HAHA.
But omg, Tuesday’s class was a total riot! We laughed til our stomach hurts real bad cos of lots of funny responses from the class.
Take for example the Malay guy 2 seats away, who was supposed to ask the Nepalese guy his surname….OMG, it was FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!
Well, in class we all have Chinese names and that Nepalese guy had this nickname “Mi Lan”, which is the Chinese pronunciation of the Italian state, Milan.
And as you know, Chinese have tones…so when the Malay guy tried to say Mi Lan, it was so gay!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA, he was 2 seats away from me, so me and Za totally rofl-ed.
But of course, that wasn’t the only highlight…there were too many silly mistakes made in class by various people that we had a hard time keeping a straight face!
Even the Vietnamese had a hard time trying to get the tones right XD
Oh and I was having lunch on Tuesday with Rachel and we were sitting at this big table cos 2 other people had left.
We were wondering about where the Osaka Uni students were at and….they came to our table and wanted to share with us.
OMG, was it like utter coincidence or what?!?!
Then I started talking to them in Japanese and when they bought their food, I talked to Natsumi.
Ahhhh, it was so fun to speak Japanese again :)
Then when we wanted to go off, they waved good bye, hahahaha.
I think god is helping me A LOT by making me meet these people. I mean, I’ve been meeting Japanese and French speaking people a lot recently…it’s like god wants to help me get fluent in the 2 languages or something.
Thank you god!!! :)
What else?
Oh…remember the post where I mentioned that there’s this guy who look like the slightly thinner but Asian version of David Archuleta? The very pale guy who looks mixed? Ahhhh, well, indeed he is retaking Cost Accounting for the 3rd time =X
I got to see him again upclose on Tuesday and I must say, he is pretty good looking! =X
Sheeeesh, seriously, he looks mixed…eventhough I think he isn’t.
Ahhhhh he’s so darn good looking >< But sometimes, he has this bad boy aura =_=
Am gonna look forward to today’s lecture, might see him again (if he doesn’t skip!) and of course, that hot guy from the other batch as well :P
HAHAHAAHA!!!
Oh and know what?
I realized that there’s this person in class (won’t say the name) but the way he looks at me is…creepy!
Like, I don’t know what goes on in that mind of his but his look is creeeeeeepy!!!
Eeeeeeee, and I don’t like to be alone with him in the lift~ LOL
Oh, it's freezing right now, hahahahaahahaaaaaa.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MIYA, FATIN and MIZUREI <3

Hello again.
As I type this out, I'm also listening to my blog song.
I love it so much.
It's really touching yet...I find it quite inspirational....in a way :P
Okay I know, I know, it's too sentimental, whatever. HAHA.
But hey, I like it a lot. :)
Spent the morning and afternoon at Ubin today.
Yup, cycling. My nightmare.
In the end, had to ride the bike that's for 2 person...
They took turn to ride in front. First it was Sally (so hyper!!), then it was Eric (and lol he kept asking "okay?" so many times. actually CY wanted to but I think she couldn't reach the pedal or something? ) and lastly, J (we were already half dead by then XD).
It was damn tiring!!! But the downhills were great!
Then there was once when J and Sally thought that the trail into the forest was actually the track, and we had to go in this really bumpy and dirty road where tree branches slapped our faces and legs ><
Sheesh, it was freaking scary in there. We could've got lost if nobody knew the direction well.
We stopped by to look at this really blue quary and it suddenly rained ._.
Sheeeesh that was really unfortunate cos there were many uphills and we had to push the bikes in the rain and mind you, it was really heavy rain!!!
Ahhh it was horrible and when we finally got downhill, we couldn't really see cos the rain were getting into our eyes and it hurts man!
Took shelter in one of the huts and I was the only one facing the other side of the place, looking at the rain.
And there was these 2 ang moh who came by and took shelter as well and sat next to me.
I was actually...okay, I admit, I was EAVESDROPPING. LOL!
C'mon I couldn't help it, they were speaking in a really nice and rapid language and I came to a conclusion after listening for a while.
Yeap, it was French :D
So I thought that they might be either French, Belgian or Swiss.
Wanna guess what I did? ;)
When she looked at me and smiled, I smiled back and said hello.
YES, OMG!
Then that was when the conversation between me and them started.
HAHAHAHA, as I thought, they were Belgian!
And omg, omg, can you believe this, I spoke French to them?!?!?!?!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! The first word I said after I knew they were Belgian was "
Enchantée"
And I loooooove the way her friend said "
Polytechnique" when she saw my Tshirt logo :P
When I asked her whether her friend can speak English she told her friend "
Tu parle anglais?"
Hahahaha, so we chatted a bit and yeah, I asked them to take a picture with me, HAHAHA!
And what did I say after that??? "
Merci beaucoup!"
HAHAHAHA, omg....
What in the world has gotten into me?!?!
I have never thought I could be like my parents who're able to chat up with foreigners like that.
This is like, the 3rd time for me. Ahhhhhh!!!
Last September, I chatted with an Iranian lady who look like ang moh and we kinda clicked, lol...and we took a picture.
On Saturday, it was the Japanese who I talked to and took picture with them.
And today...Belgian!!!
HAHAHAHA, which country next?!?!
I still couldn't believe what I did.
It's like....I don't know, I just....ahhhh, okay, i don't know what to say.
Haha!
Spent $47 at vivo, buying new clothes and slippers cos I was totally drenched and shivering like mad.
Ugh, what a waste! Hahahaa, oh well, at least i have a new pair of 3/4 jeans and a black shirt plus sakura-ish slippers.
Ate alotttt and drank 2 cups of steaming hot tea and coffee. Nice :)
Poor them, have to eat at Changi in their wet clothes =X

Hi people, how's the new blog song?
I'm getting choked up right now as I type.
It feels like my heart is in my throat, ahhh, heartaches.
It's simply lovely, won't you agree?
It's no wonder the title is 'Love Song'.
Ah.
How sentimental can I get? You'll never guess ;)
Well, moving on to some updates...
The Osaka students this year seem to be better in English than the previous batch but there're only 3 of them this year (there were 4 last year).
Hmmm...what else?
Oh I went to this Japanese doll exhibition thing on Saturday.
Was with the twins ^^
As they were settling some club issues with the museum lady (she's really friendly, she smiled at me while i was coming down the stairs, haha), I had a look around.
Ah, the mice dolls were an Edo folklore and whoah, they had the mice in kimonos and arranged as if it was a real wedding!
The people who had a tag on and wearing kimonos and yukatas are Japanese.
They were like speaking rapid Japanese and our juniors were like gasping, lol.
Hmm...initially, I had wanted Daniel to help me take a photo with the ladies but they were talking soooooo long!!!
So we went and look around first.
Then, I asked this girl to help me take a picture of us....so I went over to the ladies.
Me: あの、すみません。
Them:はい。
Me:写真を取りましょう、いいですか？一緒に。
The one without specs:いいですか？
The one with specs:はい、いいです！*Bends down* 風船持ってますか？はい、これ。
Me：あーありがとう、はは！
Them:はい、カメラ。
Girl takes pic.
Me：ありがとうございます！
Them：はい、どういたしまして。＾＾
Me:あの、シンガポールに住んでいますか？
Them:ああ、いいえ。東京から着ました。*Shows me their tags*
The one with specs:いつか東京に来てね！
Me:はい、けど今お金がない、はは。
The one without specs:がんばって、ね！
The one with specs:がんばって！*Pats my shoulder, LOL* ところで、お人形が見た？
*The balloon she was pumping burst cos she didn't realise how much air was in it when she was talking to me and the other woman was shocked and said some super fast I dont know what Japanese, HAHA!*
Me:はい。
The one with specs:どうですか？楽しい？
Me:はい、楽しいんです！面白い人形ですね。
The one with specs:ありがとう！！*Shakes my hand, LOL!*
Me:じゃあ、またね！
Them: またね！！＾＾
Hahahaha, I was shocked too, when the balloon burst, cos it was right in front of me XD
Suggested to the twins that we went upstairs to try on the kimono.
As we came inside, there was a lady in yukata and smiling at us.
Me:着物を着ていもいいですか？
Her:はい、こちらどうぞ！＾＾
She began dressing me up and mumbling some Japanese to me, like to hold on to the sleeve or to lift one of my arm in a position.
Then while she was tying the obi around my waist, she was like
"日本語は上手ですね！！
Me:はい？いえいえ、まだまだです、はは。
Her:はい、鏡に見て。かわいいじゃん？？
Me:あー！！*Notices how beautiful it was* きれい！！
Her: そうですね！じゃあ、カメラが持っていますか？
Me:はい、持ってる。
*had Jia Xyn take my picture with her phone*
Me:一緒に？
Her:一緒に？はい、もちろん！＾＾
So, I took 2 photos, one solo and the other with her :D
Me: ありがとう！
Her:はい、こちらもありがとう！はい、次！ *smiles at the twins*
They didn't want to use it but at last after she kept trying to smile so much, they wore.
Me: この２人は二子ですよ。顔は同じでしょう？
Her:*Looks at them with great curiousity* おおおお、そうですね！さっきは気づいてないんですけど、今顔はなんか以ている！.......(she said some other stuff but I can't remember the Japanese she used ><)
One of the twin to me: What did she say? O_o
Me: She said she didn't notice at first that the both of you are twins and it would've been cool if the 2 of you had taken a picture together XD
As the 3 of us were about to leave...
Me: ありがとう、ね！
Her:はい、ありがとう！！またね！！＾＾
hahahaha, so much for speaking Japanese.
Mind you, it was more difficult with them than with youth cos they're old people =X
Need to mind my language and usage, hahahaha!
But seriously, they are really proud of their language that if you start talking to them in Japanese, they won't revert back to English thereafter ><
Guess the same goes with French.....they're really proud of their language as well.
It's considered quite exclusive.... T_T
Soooooo.....went home after that and man, it was sooooo embarassing, bringing the pink balloon with me cos I had a pink polo tee on and well, my phone is pink as well...sooooo....yeah, you can imagine the stares I got (I was walking at Clarke Quay area) from both foreigners and locals.
Sheeeesh! ><
Oh and had a long call on the internet phone with Noor...it's so fun talking and listening to her and her super strong American accent :)
And I actually told my Japanese friend that he looks like an actor.
yes, finally i had the courage to tell him that (cos he's 25, so it's embarassing for me to say it directly to him ><)
Had some chats with my Korean friend (ahhhh I missed talking to him so much! we're pals, you see XD) and also, another Japanese friend who is also a friend of my other Japanese friend (lol, they're from the same Uni and CCA, such coincidence, huh?)......
Soooooo, that's about it! :D

Tired, tired, so very tired.
My body is going to crumble into pieces soon.
And wait, did I just left my leg somewhere? Cos I can't find it.
KIDDING.
But I'm seriously tired out of my wits.
Been really tough, this semester.
Oh, and it's raining super heavily outside *peers thru the blinds*
Great, the lecture's like half a kilometre away from where I am.
Argh! >< I don't want to get wet, making my way there.
And wow, I just lost track of time. Been here for half an hour already. WOW.
Sleepy day...sleepy lecture....*sigh*
Oh, listening to 'Making A Lover' right now and everytime I hear it, I get reminded, or more accurately, I can imagine Hyung Joon doing that crowd-pumping thing.
Hahaha.
Hmm, I just realised this on Tuesday when I got into the lift to get to class.
The guy who is repeating Cost for the 2nd time, the totally pale guy who looks mixed, looks like David Archuletta, except that he's the Asian version :P
No kidding! Oh but he's not as 'chubby' as David though...but I kinda got this feeling that he's a Filipino?
LOL.
His cheeks have got reddish hues! Like, so pretty? =X
HHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Okay, quit the crazy laughing. I still can't find the Osaka students in school, lol.
Oh well.

HAPPY 21st to my dear friend, Seiichi!!!Hope you’re doing well even if the weather in Middle East is a tad bit hotter than Japan and no winter or whatsoever but I truly hope you have a great day, buddy :)
Oh and I totally love our childish chats to the funny stories. Will miss them as you become more matured (though I’m not sure if you’re becoming one XD).
Lastly, hope you have a blast today ;)
Bonne fête, お誕生日おめでとう！<3

Ugh. Heartache.
Something I totally can't stand.
Hurts like hell and leaves you like it never came.
Ouch.
Haha, how I so hate it.
It's troublesome, trying to put on a brave front but you're just a complete weakling on the inside.
Basically...for me, I experience it whenever I listen to those oh-so-sad songs.
But it's totally different for my friend...when she listens to this kind of music she gets mad instead.
Whoah!
And you still think humans are equal? Hahahaha.
Hmmm, I'm thinking of changing my little youtube song in here.
This one is a tad too happy, I think =X
And oh, I don't want girls (fangirls, especially) to drool when they stumble upon my blog.
Ahhh, what song, what song???
Let me search for it and I'll continue typing this after.
I've got loads of time to kill right now...
Ah, okay I found one :)
Oh and Osaka Uni students are actually in school but HECK, I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM!
No fair, last year, I got to bring them around campus! ><
And yeahhhh I was totally interrogated in Japanese by Ryota ><

ACCPAC software. So...IT-ish. Ugh.
I'm not exactly an IT kind of person so I might have some troubles soon though I really hope I don't face any (if possible!!)
But oh, I'm loving Audit...maybe because it's plain theoretical? Nah, can't say that for now since we aren't even half way through.
Msn is now a has-been.
I don't use it as often as I did...I don't chat as often as I did.
Msn isn't a really friendly tool...I prefer my other messenger where there are plenty of user-friendly functions.
Ugh.
But of course, when I'm on, that's because I'm obviously too free to have 2 messengers on or I'm doing work.
Sometimes it's okay when people chat with me while I'm doing work.
But sometimes...I don't know, I tend to reply coldly.
Argh, the ugly side comes out, eh?
So yeah, I guess I might've reacted coldly towards some people but hey, don't take it too seriously.
I'm a little unpredictable =X
Oh my dear ami revealed to me something he didn't say before.
The reason he sounded a little strict on the internet phone is because...he's nervous that his English isn't really good!
Awwww, mais son Anglais est très excellent!!! ><
Moi, mon français est mauvais! T_T
According to him, he was nervous speaking English because of his heavy French accent.
LOL, pleasssseeeeeee, don't be nervous avec moi! Nous sommes amis, c'est ça?!?! T_T
Cost Accounting tomorrow, will give my best!!! YEAH!!! (pas mal, pas mal :P)
I won't fall the 2nd time, oh no, I won't!!! :D
Oh and a thank you flying out to Chun Hui, for telling me that my shoelaces were untied just now.
Would've tripped if I was unaware, so, thanks alot! :D
また彼のことを考えてるのかー本当に分からないよ、この気持ち。As always, shrouded by rainy memories. The joy, pain, sadness, anger and jealousy that you know nothing of.

Hi again!
I’ve decided not to change the blogskin cos I think the current one is quite alright.
Kinda attached with the current one sooooo I suppose changes aren’t exactly that necessary.
Okay.
So…what’s been going on?!
Nothing much, except for a couple of heartaches and such but other than that, I’ve been cool. :P
Haha!
Oh the heartache thingy, don’t mind it, it’s a minor thing.
Haha you know, a common riff-raff of a teenager’s life.
School’s been alright, really tiring but I’m trying to hang in there.
Spending more than half a day in school is a norm…brain cells are getting their exercise doubled.
Hahaha.
Anyway!
Received a letter from school today for best performance in French.
How awesome, love it!!!
Got 2 pairs of new shoes, they’re really pretty!!!
It’s really difficult to find shoes for me since uhhhh, my feet’s like a little too long? LOL.
Ahhh, listening to “I want to spend my lifetime loving you”…really love it soooo much!
The Spanish essence added was super duper brilliant, everytime I listen to it, I feel so…..
I don’t know, it’s difficult to explain.
Like, I can imagine Zorro (Alejandro Murieta)…..Elena de la Vega….ahhhhhh!!!
So lovely!!!
Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones played their roles realllllly well!!!!!!!
And even Anthony Hopkins did a really good job though his accent is still there and doesn’t sound anywhere near Spanish accent….HAHA. :P
Yes, yes, yesssss, I soooo love the image Catherine Zeta-Jones portrayed in Zorro!
She’s really good and omg, she’s soooo pretttttty!!!! *_*
Oh and speaking of Spanish, did I mention that my dear ami, Zhen Xiu, can speak Spanish as well?!
OH MAN, he can!
During our call and he was teaching me how to pronounce the French words, he spoke some Spanish.
Issssssh…!!!
I’m gonna have to say merci to him cos he’s helped me with my pronunciations for my French oral.
But that will mean I’ve got to wait for him to come online….ugggghhhh, this’s the bad thing about huge time difference between us and France. ><
Oh well…guess that’s about it!
Til next time!
As I wonder again and again whether it is worth waiting for you….
