New Year's Eve

Just a couple of hours more and the year 2008 will be over. How many of you will be going out to countdown with the general public and crowd?

I personally will be counting down to the new year at home with the TV at most. After experiencing that crowd and the madness 2 years ago when I went down to the city area for the new year's countdown, I made up my mind to not join in the chaos anymore.

Here's an early wish to a good 2009!

あと二時間ぐらいで２００８年は終わった。皆さんは一緒に外で新しい年を迎えでしょうか？

去年の今日、私は友達と一緒に東京にいった。もともとは一緒にカウントダウンするつもりだけど、結局ある人たちの所為で、ゲームセンターで新しい年を迎えた。災厄でしょ。

今年はうちでカウントダウンするつもり。もう人々と一緒にのはちょっといやだ。

ちょっと早いかもしれないけど、よいお年を～♪

Near the end

With today almost gone, there's only 1 day left till the start of a new year.

So how was the year 2008 for everyone?

I guess that there were both good and bad memories, but it's still a page in our lives, so we should all cherish our memories. Who knows, it might be a nice memory for us in the future.

２００８年はもうすぐ終わる。今日はもうすぐ終わるから、あと一日。

明日は大晦日。皆さんの２００８年はどうだった？きっとうれしい記憶とうれしくない記憶もあるでしょ。それでも、全部は思い出から、大事にしなきゃ。将来は私たちの懐かしい思い出になるかもしれない。

Falling apart

Things will eventually come to an end. Falling apart, bit by bit.

The end is inevitable, and unavoidable. Take it in our stride.

何もいつか終わりになる。少しずつ、必ず。

最後のは逃げない。だから、一緒に向かおう。

Nailclipping

My dog hates to get her nails clipped. After the first time she got it done, she started struggling and squealing out in fear(?) or pain(?) every time we tried to get her nails clipped.

Giving her treats when we clip her nails work to a certain extent, but she still squeals and struggles after a while. What a pain =.=

時間が経つ。少しずつ。戻らないように流す。だから、無駄にするのはだめ。

でも、私は結構時間を無駄にした。いけないとわかってるけど、どうしてもそうになった。

変わらないと。そのままじゃ、ほんとに。。。

だから。

Chingay Practice

Today's the first official briefing for Chingay, with everyone being assembled in the Auditorium where videos of the previous parade and a short demonstration of the actual dance, and a briefing is given where the official schedule and other things to note are informed.

Unfortunately, I was late for it. Haha. So I missed out on the first 2 items that I listed. But at least, I did manage to catch the briefing!

今日はチンゲイパレードのお知らせ。それに前のパレードのビデオとデモンストレーション。

恥ずかしながら、遅刻した。ビデオとデモンストレーションはミスだった。でもでも！お知らせの部分はちゃんと聞いた！

今回はもっと早くうちから出ないとね。

Happy Birthday!

To me! Yes! Today's my birthday!

Unfortunately, the original plans that I had in mind were all screwed up due to the freak accident that occurred at the Singapore Flyer a couple of days ago. In the end, we ended up going over to Crystal Jade Kitchen for dinner - a whooping total cost of over $270!!!

And I also renewed my mobile phone contract and bought a new phone - costing $98. Thus, the total amount spent tonight accounts to over $300!!!

今日は私の誕生日！！！パチパチ～♪

残念けど、元もの計画はもうだめ。最近の事故の所為で。結局近くのレストランで夕食を食べた。

それに新しい携帯も買った。夕食は２７０ドルぐらい、携帯は９８ドルぐらい。つまり、全部でもうすぐ４００ドルじゃない！

結構買ったよね、私。

Christmas

It's Christmas today! Too bad I don't celebrate Christmas though.

But everyone is happy when we have a holiday don't we?

今日はクリスマス！メリークリスマス～♪

残念だけど、うちはクリスマスなんか祝わない。

でもさ、休みがあれば、誰も喜んでだろう？

Singapore Flyer...

...is gone. Ya. Due to an accident that occurred yesterday, the Singapore Flyer is temporarily closed until the 28th, tentatively. Which means that the flight on my birthday, is screwed.

I HATE THIS. ANGRY!

誕生日の日のシンガポールフライヤーの予定は終わった。昨日の事故で、２８日まだ休憩。

ちくしょう！！！

こんなの大嫌いだよ！むかつく！うっとうしいよ！！！

Results

Results are out today! So how's it? Well, considering that I almost didn't study for it, it's not too bad I guess.

It's unfortunate that my Japanese grade ain't as good as it used to be, but then again, I didn't put in too much effort for it either, so it's expected.

4011100033

試験の成績が出た！今学期のはどうだった？実はね、ちょっと驚いた。

今学期はあまり勉強しなかったから、この成績はよかった。日本語のはちょっと悪くなったけど、仕方がない。

来学期は最後だ。とりあえず、できるだけやる。

Confirmation

The tickets for the Singapore Flyer ride that I mentioned earlier has been confirmed! It'll be on my birthday, the 26th of December at 8:30pm. Quite an interesting celebration, don't you think?

この前に書いたこと、まだ覚えてる？そのシンガポールフライヤーのライドの時間はもう決めた！

なんと、私の誕生日の日の午後八時半だ！結構楽しい誕生日じゃない？

Too much sleep

Overslept tonight. I mean this morning. But whatever. I missed an appointment with my friends...

Sad.

また寝すぎた。いつもこの調子だとだめになる。

しかも友達との約束を破れた。悲しい。

Chingay Practice

There was Chingay practice again today, and I made sure that I attended it this time round. It seems that the dance steps are getting easier and easier with each practice session though. Perhaps too many people can't get the hang of the steps.

This year's is already much easier than the last one. In fact, it's not even tiring at all ~.~

今日はまた練習。今回はちゃんと参会した。それに、ステップは毎度の練習に簡単になる。気のせいかな？それとも、たくさんの人がステップを習わない？

まぁ、どうでもいいけど。今年のは前のよりずっと簡単。ぜんぜん疲れてない。

We have a winner!

It's unbelievable! But I received a call from Kinokuniya today informing that I won the competition that I sent in a while back. And the prize is!!! $100 worth of Kinokuniya vouchers together with a pair of tickets to the Singapore flyer!

That's so exciting! This might just be Kinokuniya's birthday surprise for me!

うれしい！とてもうれしい～♪

どうして？それはね、紀伊国屋のバウチャーをあたったからだ！それにシンガポールフライヤーの二人分のチケットも！

運がよかったな。これは紀伊国屋からの誕生日サプライズかもしれん～♪

Disappointed, with self

Very disappointed with myself now... To think that I missed the practice for today... =.=

Slept too late last night, and was feeling very terrible today when I woke up. Okay, it was not just last night, but for a total of 3 nights, and as a result, the fatigue piled up and I wasn't able to function normally...

So... I missed practice because of that. What an idiot I am.

信じられない。失望したよ、自分に。まさか今日の練習をサボったなんで。連日の睡眠不足のせいだ。

今日からはちゃんと寝るように。それに、やらなきゃならないことも。自己反省をしないと。

Practice

Tomorrow's the 3rd Chingay practice, and hopefully, we'll be able to learn the entire moveset and finally practice the entire dance as a whole. IMO, it's more fun to dance and practice when you're doing it as a whole.

We'll see about that tomorrow.

明日はまた練習の日。今回は全部を習えばいいけど。私の意見だけど、全部そろって練習するのほうがいいと思う。

明日ならわかる。

Maplestory

You can find the symbol of the maple leaf on the national flag of Canada, and it is also the symbol used for one of Wizet's online games, Maplestory.

So why am I talking about this? I just recently started it again. Not in the official servers though, I've since gotten sick and tired of that monotonous and repetitive stuff. So what is it? A private server.

Hmm... Let's see how long this time it'll last.

正直、自分は何を考えているのは時々わからない。ううん、いつもわからないかもしれん。

また、つまらないことを始めた。どうして？それは私に聞いても答えられない。

まぁ、もうすぐ自分がだめになるから、どうでもいい。

Songs

Hmm... so what songs do I usually listen to? Mostly Japanese songs. I may also listen to Chinese songs and English songs at times, but those are mostly when my brothers listen to their songs irresponsibly.

What do I mean by that? It means that they turn their speakers up to insanely loud volumes and irritate everyone. That's what I mean.

私はいつもどんな歌を聞いているの？ほとんど日本語の歌。時々もほかの歌を聞くけど、それは聞こえるでも言う。

まぁ、それも他人の所為けど。

Chingay Practice

2nd Chingay practice today, but still, not much improvement in terms of knowledge in dance steps. Well, technically, we did progress till the end of the dance, but the last few segments were just shown to us and not really explained and practiced.

Hopefully, we'll be able to learn those steps by the next practice.

足が痛い。今日の練習の所為だ。ぐるぐると、足が痛くなった。

どうして？それは、ぐるぐるをできないから。さすがに、３６０゜の回旋は難しい。

今度の練習はちゃんと注意しないと。

Viva EASY!!

Dinner tonight was yet again, the Viva pizza from Pizza Hut!

2 regular pizzas for 3 people is a bit too much I guess. I'm feeling very bloated now and full of er... bread? Haha =P

夕食はピザだった！でも、ちょっと食べ過ぎたかも知れん。いまだお腹が一杯一杯で、ちょっと気持ち悪い。。。

今回はそんなに食べないように。。。

Tired!

Fatigue is hitting me again! Even though I've been sleeping early and trying to ensure that I get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a day, I'm still experiencing the bouts of fatigue that had plagued me back when I was getting all stressed up about the exams.

Guess the exams alone wasn't the only problem that was stressing me. The FYP must be another reason, and with it not settled yet, I just can't feel relaxed enough...

またまた疲れた。夜早く寝って、一晩七、八時間を寝ただけど、いつも疲れている。ストレスが溜まりすぎるかな？

期末試験もずいぶん前に終わったから、まだほかの原因があるだろう。それは、たぶんプロジェクトのこと。

やっぱり、プロジェクトをしまわないと安心できないな。。。

Sushi

We had dinner at Sakae Sushi tonight as part of the celebration for my father's birthday. Everyone had a lot to eat and by the time we were done and left the place, we had like 43 colored plates, 3 red plates, 3 bowls of ramen, 1 bowl of udon and lotsa other stuff.

Quite a lot right? Well, fortunately (for us) and unfortunately (for them), they miscounted the number of plates we had! They gave us a discount of 20 plates due to that =P

今日は珍しく寿司を食べた。お父さんの誕生日だから。みんなもたくさん食べたから、その後はお腹一杯一杯で、なんか苦しいかも。でも、それはみんなは夕食がよかったと思うから、いい。

しばらく寿司を食べないと思うけど。

Silence

I think silence, or perhaps, just the plain hum of the environment, is very relaxing. And I really like it when it's all quiet. I really don't like noise and sounds. Not really that weird ain't it?

静かなのはいいな。何とか落ち着くのができる。うるさいのと音がなんかいやだ。別に変じゃないよね？

Chalet

Went down to my club's chalet this evening. Unfortunately, I do not know any of the new members as I'm already rather "old" and am like semi-alumni now.

But it's still nice and good to hang around with those that I know and chat about things and stuff. There was also a little surprise by some of my friends. A pudding that seems a lot like a cake to me =.=

今夜はクラブの友達と一緒に過ぎた。残念が、新しい会員は知らない。でも、知り人と一緒にしゃべったりも楽しかった。

ケーキみたいなプディングもあった。しかもサプライズだもん。

結構楽しかったよ～♪

Hari Raya

Today's a public holiday as it's Hari Raya. I don't really know which one, but it's supposedly something equivalent to new year for the Muslims.

But anyways, everyone's happy that we have a public holiday, aren't we?

今日は定休。何のためのはよくわからんけど、休みがあれば誰も喜びだろう？

別に特別なことでもない。休みがあればいい。

Not according to plan

The original plan for today is to head down to Kinokuniya to get some books, have lunch over at Takashimaya, and then go down to Jurong Birdpark.

But unfortunately, because we headed out too late, it was already half past 2 by the time we finish getting the books at Kinokuniya. So the plan to head down to Jurong Birdpark was scrapped and we ended up going down to visit my grandfather.

Guess the trip down to the birdpark will have to wait for another day.

計画通りかな？ううん、まったく想像以外なこと。

元も紀伊国屋で本を買った後出かける予定けど、朝うちから出たときは遅すぎるので、買い物後はもう時間がないや。

だから、お預けになった。。。結局祖父を見に行った。

また今度ね、出かけるのは。

KFC - Too much!

Ate too much chicken today. Had KFC for breakfast and afternoon tea... Ended up not having enough space to accommodate for dinner...

Ouch... Guess I won't be having KFC for anytime soon.

食べ過ぎちゃった。昼食とスナックも同じものばかり食べて、おかげで夕食は食べられない。もうお腹一杯一杯から。

明日はちょっと特別。家族と一緒に出かける予定。楽しみだね。

不束者ですが、よろしくお願いします

よく言うよね、「不束者ですが、よろしくお願いします」。

新婚夫婦の場合かな？

まぁ、不思議な言葉ではないか？

Budget Terminal

Went down to the Budget Terminal tonight for dinner, and also to pick up my aunts who were coming back from their trip to Macau. Of course, as what you would have expected from Macau, the purpose of the trip is quite simple. I guess I don't have to elaborate about it right?

今日はお母さんと一緒にうちの掃除をした。家政婦が帰った以来、もう６日が経った。

実は、うちにはいつも山みたいなものがあって、そろそろ片付かないといけないと思う。

だから、今日はそうした。明日もおなじよていけど、できるかな？

Another day

Yet another day gone and nothing much achieved... Progress is slow lately... Too many other things to bother me and occupy my time...

But I guess, things will get done slowly, bit by bit, as long as you keep it up.

あっちゃ！！また何も進んでなかったまま、一日が経った。最近はなかなか進まないな。。。どうして？

このまま進めば、間に合うかな？とりあえず、今はそうしなきゃならない。。。

Nothing much...

Really nothing much to say about today O.O

Oh ya. About the maid that went back home? It turns out that the chance that she had actually been lying is rather high. And she supposedly won't be back until near the end of the month, so we've decided to terminate her work permit and perhaps, get another maid instead. Who knows~

今日はのんびり～♪

特別なことはほとんどしてないな。でも、それもいいじゃないかな？たまにはそのようなのんびりも必要じゃない！

ではでは！またまた！

December

It's December! The start of the end of the year! The beginning of the end!!!

Anyways, it's still not time to get too excited, as there is still lot's of things left to do! Tomorrow is me and my father's lunar birthday too! Lots of fun, and unfun!

いよいよ十二月だよ！一年の終わり、つまり、終わりの初め！

でも、まだまだたくさんやらないといけないことが残ってる。それに、明日は私と父の陰暦の誕生日！なんかわくわくしてるぜ～♪

Computer show, SITEX

We went down to SITEX today for the last day of the computer show. Bought quite a few things, especially a new HDD and more DVD discs for data writing.

We also went down to OG for their last day of storewide 20% discount promotion. Clothes and stuff were bought, primarily for the upcoming Chinese New Year in about 2 months time.

今日はイベントがたくさんあったね。朝はコンピューターショーへ行って、新しいHDDとDVDディスクを買った。

その後、OGへ行って、来年の春節のための服を買った。

いろいろあったんでしょ。でも、明日からは師走、つまり十二月。プロジェクトをやらなきゃ。

For home

The maid working at our home went back home today. Supposedly, her husband met with an accident and is currently in a critical condition. But, when the agent asked her about her husband's condition, she apparently doesn't know what's wrong. Thus, the verdict is that she might be lying, just so that she can go back for a short vacation.

But whatever, it doesn't really matter. It's a bit more inconvenient to get things done, but things will still go on anyway.

うちのメイド、ううん、メイドじゃない、家政婦。えっと、家政婦は国へ帰った。主人は事故で、大変な状態らしい。でも、どう聞いても状況は説明できない。うそつくかも知れん。

まぁ、どうでもいいけど。ちょっと不便けど、生活はあまり変わらない。

More that I thought

It appears that the "stress" from the examinations had a much greater effect on me than what I previously thought.

I've been feeling a lot more tired and sleeping a lot more these 2 days. Probably a side effect of the tension of the exams wearing off.

どうやら試験のストレスが想像以上だ。この二日、普通以上に疲れるし、眠くなった。ストレスがたまって、今はどんどんよくなるのかな？

悪くはならないのはいいけど。。。

R & R

With the dreaded, well, not really, but still, exams over, it's finally time for me to rest and relax! And as a computer show is coming up over this weekend, it's also time for me to head down to buy a few stuff!

Really glad that the exams are over. But with the FYP still looming ahead, I guess it's still a long time before I can heave a sigh of relief.

試験がもう終わったから、いよいよ休むと遊ぶ時間だぜ！しかもこの週末にはコンピューターショーがあるから、買い物するのもできる～♪

試験が終わったのは本当によかった。でも、プロジェクトがまだ残って、まだまだ終わらないよ。本当に休めるのはまだまだ遠いな。。。

The End

This semester's exams are finally over. Today's paper is a bit long, at a total of two and a half hours, and I didn't manage to get home until pass nine.

As for how the paper went, it's just okay, I guess. Time to rest up and relax a bit for now before I get back to work. FYP work.

やっと終わった。今学期の試験。今日のはちょっと長い、二時間半もあった。おかげでうちへ帰ったときはもう九時過ぎ。

試験はな、まぁまぁかな？でも、今一番大事のはちゃんと休むこと。それから、大嫌いけど、しかったがないのプロジェクトをしなきゃ。

The calm before the storm

Tomorrow is my last paper for the semester, and it is also the most troublesome paper. So many things to remember and memorise and it's not even going to be that useful, I think?

Whatever. Just a bit left to go. Then it's the beginning of another bunch of troubles...

明日が終わるとすべたの試験が終わった。残りのは最後の一つしかない。でも、それも私にとって一番嫌いなの。覚えなければならないものがそんなにあって、未来にもあんまり役に立たないと思う。

まぁ、どうでもいい。後もう少し。それからはまためんどくさいなこと。。。

日本語

今日は日本語の試験だから、日本語で書くのはいいよね？なぁ、ちゃんと英語でも書くよ。

Another paper over! Japanese 3 paper ended today. But I really hate evening papers. Starting at 5pm and ending at 7pm?!?! Or even later!!!

Yeah. So I hate evening papers. Just one paper left. The most dreaded paper...

今日は無事で日本語の試験を終わった。思ったより楽だったけど、成績がわかる前には気が抜けない。

ところで、午後の試験は大嫌い。どうして？だって、五時から七時まで。冗談じゃないよ！うちへ帰ったのはもう何時だと思う？！？！だから大嫌い。

残りのはただ一つ。ちなみに、一番いやの。できるのかな。。。

Short break

Today is the first break between my papers. This time round, my papers can with a day of break in between, so it isn't that bad.

Anyways, nothing much achieved today. I'm kind of confident for tomorrow's paper, so nothing much to worry about. But the other one upcoming, that's the problem...

今日はちょっと休み。試験の間の。今回の試験は毎に一日の休みがあるから、あまり悪くない。

今日は特に何もしなかった。明日の試験はずいぶん自信があるから、心配はない。でも、それからのはちょっと。。。

Research Methodology

First paper, Research Methodology, over!

Verdict? I guess this could be one of the rare times where I actually felt that I'm running out of time for the paper. In fact, I guess you can say that I did run out of time for the paper, as I didn't finish reading one of the supplementary appendix, and I spent only 15 mins on one of the questions. By the way, there are a total of 4 questions with equal weightage, so I guess you can see how bad it is.

But! At least it's over! And I guess even though I won't be performing excellently, at least the results shouldn't be too bad. I hope.

最初の試験、終わった！

って、結局どうだった？実は時間方面はぎりぎりだぜ。あと少しでゲームオーバーかも知れん。ううん、本当に間に合わないの方が正しいかも。完全に読んだわけではないし、最後の一質問も１５分で何とか済んだ。ところで、試験には全部４つ質問があった。災厄だよ。ぜんぜんだめじゃん！

でも、完了のは確かに。いい成績は取らないけど、あまり悪くない成績が期待できるかも。かも、ね。

Countdown, last day!

Today's the last day before the exams. The first paper starts tomorrow afternoon at 1pm.

Thank goodness my exams this time round is pretty short. Only 3 papers spread over 5 days. Which means a day of break between each paper. I guess that's plenty of time to revise and prepare myself~

Got to sleep early today!

いよいよ明日だね！明日からは期末試験。というわけで、今日は早めに休んだほうがいい。

今回の試験はちょっと短いのはよかった。五日で三つ試験がある。復習の時間もあるじゃない！

とりあえず、明日はがんばろう～♪

Countdown, 2 more days left

Today is more of like a break than anything. Did not study at all today and I even went out to Kinokuniya to get books!

Speaking of which, I spent over 100 dollars today on books. It's the fault of that 20% member discount! I won't be spending that much if not for that!!!

Oh well. I'll be getting them sooner or later anyways =.=

今日は休み。復習からの。ぜんぜん勉強しない上に紀伊国屋へ本を買いに行った！

そこで１００ドル以上を使って、本を買った。１００ドル以上だぜ！信じられない。。。

まぁ、どうせ買おうつもりから。割引があるときはマシだよ。

Countdown, 3 more days left

Ouch... Bad start today... Slept too late last night resulting in fatigue and lack of sleep when I woke up this morning. Barely 2 hours after awaking, I took another 3 hours of nap time =.=

Oh well. At least I still managed to study =D

Haven't finished what I intend to study today. Have to work harder and finish them up after dinner. And to sleep early today too! Going out tomorrow after all.

失敗だな。。。昨夜寝るのは遅すぎるから、今朝起きたときまだ眠かった。だから、起きた２時間しか過ぎないのに、また３時間のちょっと休み。大失敗だよ！がっかりだよ！

まぁ、何とか復習を進んだけど、今日のターゲットはまだまだだ。夕食の後はがんばらないとね！

明日、出かける予定！だから、その前にちゃんと復習する～♪

New look

I changed the look of my blog. I admit, it was an act of impulse, even though I had been planning to change the look from the plain old stuff. Oh well.

This one is an edited template, to fit in the Ar Tonelico theme. After all, I only started a blog in join the Ar Tonelico Suppotail community in the first place =P

Kind of dark and stuff, but it fits well with "her" theme. "Her" being the one at the top of the page - Mir/Jakuri.

ブログのテンプレートを変えた！急になんだけど、結構前から変えると思ってる。ずっとその以前のままもつまんないだろう～♪

このテンプレートは別のから変えたもの。アルトネリコのテーマのために。そもそも、ブログを始めたのもさぽているのためから。

ちょっと暗いけど、これも彼女のテーマだよ。彼女はジャクリ、即ちミョール。

Countdown, 4 more days left

Managed to squeeze in time today to both finish up the 2nd part of my revision for the first paper, and also get some time to relax a bit.

Today's lunch was also a bit special, with me and my brothers going down to KFC to try out their Christmas Buddy Meal. Nothing really too special about it though. Just the addition of some butter(?) prawns. The price wasn't too cheap either. Oh well, just for the experience =P

今日は順調みたい。予定通り、試験の復習もできたし休む時間もあるし。それはいいじゃない～♪

今日の昼食もちょっと特別。なんと！KFCで食べた。新しいメニューがあるから、ちょっと試しに行った。でも、別になんでもないや。えびが増えるだけ。それに値段も安くない。まぁ、経験も大事だろう～♪

Countdown, 5 more days left

5 more days left to the first paper of this semester!

Thank goodness I managed to throw in time today to revise for my work. I guess I covered roughly half of what is going to be examined? Oh well, beats not having done anything. The plan tomorrow is to complete the other half, then wait for the day before the actual paper for last minute refreshing.

On a side note, Kinokuniya is having a 20% discount offer again! Oh my god! Which means I need to take a break from studying to go down to get some books! This time round, the offer runs from Thu to Sat. Guess I'll go down to Thu.

今日は何とか復習した。始めの試験の半分ぐらいかな？

明日は残りのを復習するつもり。後は試験の前の最終の復習だけ。なんかいい調子みたいじゃない！

ところで、紀伊国屋はまた会員割引があるよ！今回のは木曜から土曜まで。つまり、復習間には紀伊国屋へ行かなきゃ。まったくもう！木曜に行くかな？

Weekend and blah blah blah

Been sleeping in late over these couple of days again. By the time I woke up this morning, it was already halfway between breakfast and lunch. Thank goodness the plan today was to have breakfast+lunch over at Ikea, so it wasn't too bad.

Haven't really started studying over these 2 days of weekend, but I intend to start for real from tomorrow. The upcoming exam on Sat is closing in and I don't really have time left to fool around. As much as I don't really care too much about getting outstanding grades now that the final result won't really be affected, I still have to get a decent enough grade so as to tide it through.

この二日、寝坊しちゃった。今朝起きたとき、もう朝食過ぎて、まもなく昼食の時間だった。まぁ、試験の復習のため、休みも大事だから、別にいいけど。

でもさ、この週末はまったく復習しなかった。明日から始めないといけない。試験は次の土曜から、もうあまり時間が残ってない。

別にいい成績を目指すつもりがないけど、悪い成績もだめだ。だから、もう始まらないと。復習、そして、自分の決心。

Presentation, again?!?

As per title. Well anyways, today's the last day of the semester, and I had to go back to school specially for 1 hour for a speech. Okay, speech, not presentation, but whatever =P

Exams begin next Sat. Time to start mugging!

今日の発表も順調だぞ！話題はちょっとあれけど、まぁ、何とかできたから、どうでもいいや～♪

でも、さすがにわざと一時間の授業に学校へ行くのはちょっと。

ちなみに、今日は今学期の最後日。来週の土曜は期末試験だぞ！

よしゃー！勉強しようぜ～♪

Presentation, again

Had another presentation during class again today. The reason for me being the presenter is more or less the same as what happened on Tue, so not much point in me repeating.

But anyways, today's presentation went at top speed. And I mean TOP SPEED. I think I finished everything in less than 5 minutes? Guess I was a bit too nervous =.=

今日もまた発表があっただね。原因は火曜のと同じから、もう一回言ったも無駄よ。

でも、今日のはさすがに速すぎかも。５分も足らない気がする。まぁ、いいか。ただ緊張過ぎる。

明日も発表があるよ。今回こそ！

A little break

Time for a little break from serious stuff before the beginning of the reading week and exams.

Today was spent lazing around and doing nothing constructive in much. Pretty much spent the whole day viewing videos and just relaxing. But then again... I haven't really been doing much over the previous month or so, have I?

Oh well, rest is important =P

休憩休憩！

今日は一日休んだ～♪来週は予習の時間、それから期末試験から、もう時間があまり残ってないや。

だから、今日はニコニコを見たり、のんびりしたりしてた～♪ちょっと。実はこの一ヶ月も大したことがしなったが気がするけど。。。

まぁ、いいや。休みは大事だもの。だから、休むべし～♪

Presentation

I presented for my group today during class. It's a class that I've been skipping quite a bit lately, and so I don't really know what's going on, but then again, as I've been skipping it, I didn't really participate in the group discussion and thus am designated with presenting it =.=

But anyways, at least it all went well. Good! Haha =P

今日、発表があった。このごろよくサボった授業の。

よくサボったから、グループと一緒に相談できなかった。それで、何とか発表は私に。まぁ、どうでもいいけど。

えっと、よく考えれば、今週のもく、金曜も発表があったけ？なんかすごいじゃない？！？

Last week of school

Today marks the first day of the last week of school. After this week, the reading week will begin, and then EXAMS!!!

Time for the real fun to begin!!! I mean... nightmare? T.T

今日、日本語の講義の最終回を過ぎた。

それに、今週も今学期の最終。来週からは予習、そしてようやく期末試験！

さぁ！これからは楽しみだぜ！むしろ、悪夢かも？！？！

What?!?!?!

It's almost unbelievable, but just shortly after I finish watching 3 series over the past week, my HDD which holds my anime collection got fried. Yeah. UNBELIEVABLE. 130+ GBytes worth of data all gone =.=

Somehow, it seems like the recent Windows updates that I installed had some sort of conflict with some of the programs that I have that runs when the computer boots up. As a result, Windows keeps claiming that a serious error has occurred and reboots automatically halfway through the startup process. As a result, my external HDD got fried.

I've since removed those updates and also disabled most of the programs that start at bootup. But still, Windows sucks. What's with the acting smart and going into a cycle of self auto-reboots? Whoever designed that much be a genius!

今、機嫌はとても悪い。私のアニメコレクションが消えた。すべてはこの愚かなOSの所為だ！

もう一度探さないといけない。でも、１３０Gはさすがない探せにくい。そもそも、いったい何があるのも全部覚えてない。

もう、優れない。

Lucky Star! らき★すた

Okay, so it might a bit late... 2 years late... but at least! I've finally watched and completed the anime series for Lucky Star.

Hmm... compared to Azumanga Daiou that I watched a bit back, I felt that Azumanga is more interesting. But then again, Lucky Star focus is more on the otaku side.

All in all, it's a rather funny and interesting series. The last episode is also quite fun too!

やっとらき★すたを見た！ちょっと二年も遅くなったけど、見ないよりマシだよ。

って、あずまんが大王と比べれば、どっちがいいのか？えっと、あずまんが大王のほうはいいと思う。もっと面白いと思うから。でも、らき★すたはオタク方面がメイン。

とにかく、面白くていいシーレズと思う。最終回もなかなか面白いや～♪

Oral Communication Test

Today's the day for the oral test!

As for how I felt about how it went... I guess it's acceptable?

I screwed up at quite a few places, but overall, I guess I somehow managed to scrape it through in the end.

今日、オーラルテストだった。

えっと、どうだったかな？まあまあな程度かな？

間違えたこともあるし、できはこともあるし、どうかなるだろう。

あずまんが大王！

I just finished another series yesterday. Kind of amazing that I'm actually clearing full seasons of anime in a couple of days when I should be dying from mugging for the upcoming exams.

But somehow, I just can't find myself studying now... I just feel that there is still so much time, and studying now, is but a waste of time (?!?!).

Don't really understand myself =.=

あずまんが大王を見た！つい先まで見たクレイモアノアと、またひとつシリーズを見た！

もうわからないな、私。もうすぐ期末試験なのに、今は勉強しないといけない事情なのに、まさかまたアニメを見ているんなんで！

もうわけわからんな！

Back!

My parents came back today after their 4D3N trip overseas. Nothing much happened over their period of absence though, so I guess you can say that it had been a rather boring period of time.

両親は今日帰ってきた。でも、いない間にも何も特別なことがなかった。

結構つまらなかった日々だね。

後もう少しだね、期末試験。

Claymore

I mentioned that I wanted to watch the Claymore anime a long time ago right? Well, I managed to finish the series last night, or rather this morning, if you count the end of a day at 12 midnight =P

Took me a total of 2 days {!?!?} to finish all 26 episodes. Ya, I shocked myself too. Never thought that I was still capable of such anime marathons. The story in the anime is incomplete though, like expected for tv adaptations of ongoing series. Which means that I will most likely have to go buy the manga to follow up with the series.

That's really going to be burning a hole in my pocket, with each book costing around $10 before any offers or discounts... Guess it's time to wait till another discount season =X

またアニメを見た。もう長い間見なかった。今回はどうしてまた見るんだな？それに対して、答えない。

まぁ、また見るのもいいじゃない。もてに入れるから、見ないと損じちゃうよ。

ところで、今回のアニメはクレイモア。なかなか楽しいストーリーだな。でも、やっぱりアニメだけでは終わらない。漫画を読まないと、あとのことがわからない。だから、漫画を買わなきゃな。

また割引があるとき。

Oral practice

Had my practice session with my oral communication partner today. A one and a half hour session at that too! Kinda unbelievable that I actually spent that much time practicing for oral.

I've never ever really put in any emphasis on preparation for oral, so that's really quite a surprise to myself.

今週の金曜日にはオーラルテストがあるんだ。そのテストを予習するため、今日はパートナーと一緒に練習した。

実はそうゆう練習は初めてかも。まぁ、もっと予習と練習するほうがいいじゃない？

Overseas

My parents are overseas again this weekend, to the same place that they went to a couple of weeks ago. Some might say that it's a bit silly to go to the same place again in such a short period of time, but then again, if they feel that it's relaxing and a runaway for them, who cares =P

両親はまた海外へ行った。まぁ、好きなら、いいじゃない？

それより、私の期末試験はもうすぐ。。。プロジェクトのことも。。。

あぁ、大嫌いだな、学校。

世代交代！

今日はニョロ・メロンとのお別れだ。前も言ったけど、そのお別れシーンは悲しすぎる！

私はね、悲しいものには苦手なの。。。

おっと、ニョロ・メロンからのメッセージも忘れないでね：


それに、新しい子もよろしくね。今回はちゃんとペトを選んだ！名前ももちろん！ペト・メロン！

キャハキャハキャハキャハキャハキャハ！！！

Changes and Additions

I changed the BGM for my page, again. This time round, the song is .EXEC_SPHILIA/ from Ar Tonelico 2. The vocals are by Mitose Noriko, who is also the one responsible for all the hymmnos by Jakuri/Mir in the game.

I also added a new blog part to the page. It's a clock featuring Hatsune Miku, the character in the popular Vocaloid software by Yamaha.

Hopefully you all will like it^^

歌をまた換えた！今回のはアルトネリコ２のジャクリ担任のみとせのりこさんの.EXEC_SPHILIA/！

これもなかなか気に入れの歌のひとつよ。みんなも喜んでもらえばうれしい～♪

ところで、新しいブログパーツも貼った。今回のは、なんと！初音ミクの時計！

Unbelievable!

I spent a mere hour and a bit more on the quiz today, and I actually managed to pull it off! Well, granted the results aren't spectacular, but based on the debrief that we had, I passed! Which is a great improvement over the pathetic of an excuse of a grade the last time!

Just have to wait for the total results to come out to see how the class fared as a whole. Who knows, maybe I'll still be in the lowest quarter =x

ほほほほ！！今日のクイズの成績は想像以上だ！

まぁ、大したことではないけど、何とかできた。またクラスの下にいるかもしれないが、今は構わん。

あと一週間ね。

もうわかんない

私、いったい何をしてる？

まるで、遊んでるだけ。眠ければ、寝る。まさか何の意味もない生活。。。

予定も何もかまわない。もう、わけわからない！

Fatigue, again?

It appears that my previous problem of feeling tired all the time has not been cured, and is in fact, still persisting. I could hardly stay awake and focused enough to attend my classes...

I guess not being able to fall asleep peacefully at night is one of the causes. For some reason, I always end up tossing and turning in bed at night for a period of time before I can finally fall asleep. But what actually is causing that?

どうやら、いつも疲れてる病気はまだ治らない。

夜うまく寝られないことは問題のようだ。でも、どうやら早く寝られるだろう？

PizzaHut!

We had PizzaHut delivery for dinner tonight! We tried out their new Viva pizza series, but to be honest, it wasn't really that great... Well, whatever.

えっと、最近の書き込めはちょっと変だけど、気にしないでね。

実は、私も自分はどんなようになるのか、を知らない。まぁ、今はちょっとマシになったから、いいじゃない。

では～♪

Long weekend

Tomorrow's a public holiday, so we have a total of 3 days of rest this weekend, which makes it a long weekend!

Not much to celebrate though, with the exams coming soon and deadlines looming overhead...

連休だ！明日も休みだから、この週末は三日も休んだ！

すばらしい！！けど、もうすぐ試験が来る。それに、いろいろなことの期限もすぐ来る。

あまりうれしくないことな。。。

紀伊国屋 - Kinokuniya

Went down to Kunokuniya this afternoon to take advantage of the 20% member discount offer. In the end, I bought 14 books (manga) (!!) and also placed an order for another one. The final total is over $80 after discount... which means I saved a total of 20 odd dollars.

Kind of scary to think of what it would had been like had there been no discount! But then again, I won't be splurging that much if not for the 20% offer.

今日、紀伊国屋へ行った。だって、会員割引があるだもん。２０パーセントよ！

でも、ちょっと買いすぎかも知れん。８０ドル以上だもん。

まぁ、どうせ買うつもりから、割引があるときのほうがマシだよね！

Over

With the test today over, the only irritating thing left before the reading week and exams is the stupid drug quiz tomorrow.

As for the test today, it's significantly more poorly done than the one previously. There are more confirmed errors, and... well, it's just poorly done -.-

今日のテストの後。まぁ、信じられないけど、何とか終わった。

今回のはだめ。うん。だめ。

あとひとつクイズ残る。その後は。。。試験の時間だ！

Weird?

It's really weird... Before today, I'm like panicking about the test coming up tomorrow. But suddenly, for no particular reason, I'm actually feeling a lot more peaceful now... Even though my study and memory progress is still about the same =.=

Perhaps, I don't really care that much anymore? o.o

わからない。急に起こされたから。

何の原因もないのに。。。どうして？

もう関係ないのかな。。。

More people?!?

Currently, we have 5 people signing up for Chingay. And one of my classmates has also expressed interest in joining, and he's also going to be asking others too! Wow. Sounds like this time round, everything will be a lot bigger and more fun? Haha!

Looking forward to it. Though it's still quite a long way...

ああ！どうしよう？金曜日のテストの復習はまだ終わってない。。。

それに、今も仕方なく疲れるし。。。

今回のはあまり期待しないね。。。

Tests again...

Just 3 more weeks to the end of this semester and the beginning of the reading week and subsequent exams. And still, there's no end in sight to the tests and quizzes...

Another test this Fri, and another quiz coming up next week. And that's not even including all the non-stop fun and action in my language module!

Oh my...

テストやクイズがなかなか終わらないな。。。もう三週しか残ってないのに。。。

どうして。。。

3 things

There are a total of 3 things of note today.

1. My FYP P1 oral presentation
2. Chingay 2009!!
3. Kinokuniya is having a 20% member discount over the weekend!!!

Well, the first one is a complete disaster. I'm like a total wreck, and I REALLY HATE PRESENTATIONS!!! Okay, enough of that.

About the second one, JAS is recruiting people for their Chingay team again! Wee! Chingay is fun, and exciting, and interesting! And, and... Well, you get the idea!! Let's all join together and enjoy ourselves~~~

As for the third and last one, that's an even better news!! 20% discount = lots of savings = smiles everyone =D

Hahaha, quite an interesting day today...

シンガポール日本人会はまたチンゲイパレードの人を募集中！

きっと楽しくて、面白いよ！だから、みんなも参加しよう～♪

全員と一緒遊ぼう～♪

It's tomorrow!

Feeling very nervous now... Oral presentation coming tomorrow... AHHH

I really hate presentations. =.=

いよいよ明日だね。正直、発表とかは大嫌い。

でも、仕方がない。これもプロジェクトの一部。。。

Presentation

Time to prepare and rehearse for the upcoming presentation on Mon.

Even though I have little to say, and little confidence in answering the possible questions... Fight! Fight! Fight!

後二日。発表。。。

がんばれ！ファイト！ファイト！

Terrible results!

Got wind of the results of the quiz that I had immediately after the break and the results were rather appalling. Considering that I spent so little time on it, it wasn't really that much of a surprise, but still... being in the last 25% percentile isn't such a great feeling =.=

Gotta do better (?) for the next quiz?

今日は日本語の授業で日本の何々かについてのスピーチを書いた。まぁ、実はその前にもう書いたけど。

で、私のトピックは日本の自殺。ちょっと難しいトピックだけど、何とかできた。

それでも、驚いたな。まさか日本は「自殺の大国」とかと言えるなんて。

Dispensing!

Ahh!!! The nightmares of the past have came back to haunt me!!!

It's dispensing class and all the crap associated with it again! AHH!!!

Run for your lifes!!!

早く逃げろ！以前の悪夢がまた来るぞ！

まさか最後の学年もまたそのふざけること。。。

信じられない。。。誰か！われらを救う！

Turning point!

Seems like things are taking a turn for the better! I've finally gotten a reply from my supervisor about the first presentation, and even though the exact time and venue are as yet still unknown to me, it's still a step forward in the right direction.

Time to worry and ponder about how to go about with my presentation...

よっしゃ！

ようやく返信が来た～♪

これで、もう少し正しい方への一歩。それでは、今のフォーカスは発表の準備！ちゃんとしなきゃ～

Stress?

Been feeling kind of weird lately. Can't really concentrate and work, and keep feeling like running away... Am I feeling the stress from the no progress in my project work?

Which brings me back to the question... what actually is going to happen from now on?

最近なんかイライラな感じ。。。

ストレスかな？プロジェクトもなかなか進めないし。。。

どうしよう。。。このままでは。。。

Bit by bit

Now's about the time to get nervous and start panicking. With 2 weeks into Oct, I still haven't gotten a reply on my proposal and when the first presentation is going to be... AIIII~~~~ HELP!!!

どうしよう。。。もう時間がないのに。。。

でも、そっちから返信が全然ないまま。。。こっちも何もできない。。。

わあああああぁぁぁぁぁぁぁっ！！！

留守番

Starting from this morning, my parents are going for a 4D3N trip over to Genting. Which means that me and my brothers will be left all alone at home until Wed evening...

Well, let's just enjoy (or bear with) the time where parents are out~

今日からの四日に両親はマレーシアへ行った。というわけで、うちには私たち兄弟しかいない。

まぁ、とにかく、両親がいない間の時間をたっぷり楽しむ。

変な感じ

また変な思いが。。。まったく、わけわからないな、私。

学校のプロジェクトはそろそろ間に合わないのに。。。なに考えてるんだ？

まったくもう。。。

Running out of time

I appear to be running out of time for my FYP progress, especially so for the upcoming first presentation. And somehow, it appears that my supervisor doesn't even know about this presentation... OMG! Gotta push!

しまった！もう時間がない。。。

プロジェクトの初発表はこの月だけど、先生から何もなかった。このままじゃ私はだめになるかも！

もう～いい加減に返事しなさいよ。。。

Results, again...

Today, I sort of knew the results of two other CAs that I took last week. Well, more accurately, a mid-term CA and a quiz. For the mid-term CA, the results aren't really that bad... an approximate 86% grade. But then again, that module is one of my strengths, and honestly, I was rather disappointed with the grade that I got... haiz.

As for the quiz, I still do not know that exact grade as it has yet to be released. But when they went through the answers to the questions today, I sort of know that I should be around the failing mark. (?!?) Omigosh... Bad day!

災厄だ。今日は二つ大変なことが起こされた。

一つ目はテストの成績。正直、ぜんぜんうれしくない成績だった。そろそろいい加減に勉強と復習したほうはどうだ？このままじゃろくなことにはならない。

二つ目は。。。ひどいすぎるで、言えない。とにかく、赤い点は、可能性は高い？！

もう。。。最低な一日だった。

たまには、いいんだよ、ね？

まぁ、たまにさぼったりとかもいいんだよね。

でも、さすがに今のこの三回もさぼったことはちょっとやりすぎ。。。

そろそろ、本気を出ないと！ちゃんと授業を受けろ！

CA results!

Just checked the results for one of the CAs that I took. This one was a bit back, the week before the mid-term break.

But! The most important thing is that the results of that CA is totally awesome! Unbelievable! I'm at a complete loss of words... Considering the time put in, the results are almost like, impossible.

The score is almost perfect, just 0.2 marks away from full marks. And I think I ended up with the highest score... 15 + 9.8 Seriously, still am at a loss of words...

信じられない。。。そして、今はとても機嫌がいい。

最近のテストの成績はとてもよかった。もうちょっとで満点の程度！本当にありえないほどだね。。。

まぁ、よかったな！これで、最近の悩みもちょっと直すかも～♪

Monday, again.

Once again, Monday, and the start of the school week comes around again. Speaking of which, this week should be week 8 right?

Anyways, Mondays are pretty relaxing this semester with little fixed lessons. Then again, I didn't make good use of the time that I had... Haiz

また月曜、また一日を送れた。

正直、自分は何をしているのはわけわからない。

時間を無駄にするの様だ。。。

McGriddles

Had breakfast over at McDonalds today. Today's also the first time I tried their McGriddles item. It's basically the same as their old McMuffins, except that the bun supposedly has honey. Well, it is sweet... So I guess it's true? =X

最近はなんだかだるい。。。もちろん、体のこと。何か変なことでもしちゃったのかな？

もうわけわからない。。。ただの疲れ？それとも。。。

まぁ、考えでも仕方ない。とりあえず、できればもっと休もう。

世代交代

また世代交代した！実は今回の子はちょっと気に入るけど、そろそろ変わらなきゃのときが来た。

何回見ても、やっぱり悲しいな、そのお別れのシーン。

今回の子、ぷにぷに・メロンからのメッセージ：

新しい子もよろしくね～♪

A little tired...

Feeling a bit lethargic and tired. Perhaps I've been resting too much last week during the break. Or perhaps the mental stress from those tests yesterday is setting in.

Anyways, the weekend is coming around, so I guess it's fine.

想像と現実はやっぱり違うね。幻想の世界でうれしくなることは本当の世界で起こられるなら、別の感じがするかもしれない。

それは当然のことだけど、どうも気になる。。。

変だよね、私って。

Of tests and CAs

Didn't mention this before, but I had a quiz and also a mid-term CA today. So what's the predicted outcome?

For the quiz, a passing score will be a relief I guess. Considering the time that I spent preparing for it...ahahaha. As for the mid-term CA, well, to be truthful, the actual time spent revising for it is even lesser than that spent for the quiz, but considering the consistent effort placed into it and that it is my "specialty", I expect nothing less than the best! Just kidding...

今日の中間試験は思ったより難しかった。文法と作文は一番めんどくさいと思う。

あまり勉強しなかったけど、いい成績がとったらうれしい。えへへ～♪

やっぱり変だよ、私って。自分の専門はあまり興味がないみたい。。。

Karaoke

Finally managed to get down to the karaoke to sing some songs today. Booking one week ahead is indeed a good choice =D

Then again, today is a public holiday, so perhaps, having it today might not had been such a great idea... the cost is quite amazing too. The most I've ever payed for a karaoke session. Well, the fact that we booked for a total of 6 hours - though I only went down for 5 hours due to some reason - did play a part in pushing up the price.

The final bill came out to be $130+, almost like going out for a nice dinner!

ようやくカラオケへ行ったね。先週の仇！あはははは～♪

でも５時間も続いて歌って本当にすごいね。当然、一人出じゃないけど、まぁ、それはあまり大したことではない。

結構高かったけど、楽しかったからどうでもいい～♪

Changes

I've changed the music that's being played on my blog. This new piece is the BGM of a game, and the primary reason I chose it is because I really like this music. (duh!) I mean, it's not like I don't like the current song being played, but rather, I think it's about time for a change.

This new piece gives a very peaceful feeling, and it kind of gives me that sort of warm and fuzzy feeling that comes about when 2 hearts get together - or at least, that's what I thought.

The quality might not be that great, and it might sound a little bit weird too, since I literally ripped it out with a recording program. But at least, it's still acceptable right? =D

ページの音楽を変えた。まぁ、別に今のを飽きたけど、そろそろ変えろとか、な。今回のもすばらしいよ。きっと皆さんも気に入るでしょう～♪

触るは好きけど、触られるは嫌い。どうしてそう思う？実はこっちもわからない。触るときは気持ちいい、触られるは気持ち悪い。

変でしょう？でも原因なんかいないかも。。。これで、他人との関係もある効果があるね。だから他人は苦手？

やっぱりわからないよね。。。

Yesterday's Chalet

Came back too late and tired yesterday to post, but I went to one of my friend's farewell/celebration chalet last night. He's being transferred to America to work! Congratulations!

Anyways, yesterday was quite a day for gossiping and rumors too. Thanks to that, juicy and interesting bits of stuff were exchanged =X And it was quite a surprise to know that someone has just tied the knot recently too!

As for the other stuff, the food was good. Well, that wasn't too much of a surprise though, given that that friend has quite the interest in cooking and stuff. Games were also played and people was got around to watch the F1 race on TV.

All in all, a fun and interesting night, and best wishes to him!

楽しかったね、昨夜は。友達としゃべったし、遊んだし、食べ物も結構おいしいし。。。

えへへ、つまり、ほんとに楽しかったってこと。それだけじゃなく、うわさも結構あるんだね～

でも、一番驚きしたことはなんと！ある友達が先日に結婚したってこと！結婚式はまだけど。

すばらしい一夜だね～♪

おいしい～♪

今日の夕食はとてもおいしかったよ！

なんと！今日は栄鉄板焼きを食べた！ちょっと高いけど、食べたことがないから、一度食べたいと思った。それで、今夜はそうした！

結構面白かったな、シェフはずっと立ったまま。それに、焼いたものもおいしかった！

機会があれば、また食べたいかな？でも一人ではやっぱりちょっと高いかも～♪

週末

休みの最後の週末。明日から。でも。。。この休みは一週間しかないので、あまり意味がないだね、最後の週末って。

まぁ、どうでもいいけど。休みが終わるとまた学校へ行かなきゃ。

その前に心の準備をちゃんとしないとな。めんどい。。。

A bit left

With just the blink of an eye, the short mid term break is almost over.

With just a couple of days left, it almost felt like I didn't do anything or managed to rest either. Oh my, how time flies...

久々の休みはもうちょっとで終わり。

信じられないな、時間の流れの速さ。

何もしなかったや全然休んだない感じ。。。

Disappointment

Today was a real disappointment. The original intention of going out is to go for karaoke together with my friends, but we ended up wandering around for 3-4 hours before sitting down to play LAN for 2 hours.

The reason for the screw up is that we didn't book a room ahead of time, and ended up being unable to get any rooms at all in the places we went to. Finding a place to sing Japanese songs in Singapore isn't really that easy...

今日は退屈の一日。友達と一緒にカラオケへ行くつもりけど、予約がないから、どこへ行くでも空きがない。

結局、３，４時間後、私たちはコンピューターゲームをした。

今回はちゃんと先に予約しないと。

何だけ？

Hmm... Don't really know what to say...

I'm a bit busy lately with worrying about work and doing a bit of work, and playing and enjoying at the same time. All of these added together is driving me a tad bit crazy, so that might be the reason =x

Anyways, tomorrow is supposed to be the day where I go out with my friends. Fun! I think?

明日友達と出かける約束。楽しみにしてる。今回も同じにカラオケへ行く。

カラオケのシステムがUPしたの噂が聞いたけど、実際に見たまだはあまり。。。だね。

突然けど、私は嫉妬心が強いかも。前のことも繋がってるかな？

A sigh of relief

Something important just got settled today. It involves someone in my family, but is a tad too private and important to be shared, so that's about all I can say about it.

At least, it's all's well that end's well!

よかったね。大したことではなかった。もしうまくいかなかったら、どうなったらいいでもわからない。

えへへ、なんかよくわからないだろう？まぁ、それもいい。

用は今は無事ってこと。よかった！

Failures

So I was trying to connect to my school's Software server to get EndnoteX2 on my computer, but somehow, I just can't get connected to the server even though I've already established a connection with the virtual private network.

And that's not the only problem too. I also can't get connected to the Picasa photo server via the Picasa program even though I have no problems accessing it via the net. Which means I can't upload my photos, which are long overdue by now too. No way am I going to upload 338 items individually via the web interface when I can only select no more that 5 items to upload at a single time.

Guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow and see if it gets better. Hopefully it does, or I'll be really pissed!

いい加減に腹が立っただな！今日一日のことはいつも失敗に終わる何で。

学校のネットもできないし、ピカサのネットもできないし。。。

本当に怒ったな！明日までにできないなら、本当に狂わすだな！暴れられるかもしれない！

A short break

Guess I'll first take a little break over this weekend before I continue with my work. Not like I've been doing a lot of serious work yet... but still, all the worrying and thinking is getting on my nerves. Probably will go crazy if I don't rest...

もうたまらない。まずこの週末はたっぷり休んでもらう。

プロジェクトやほかの事は来週から。

そうゆうことで、今は休む！

A break?

Next week is the mid-semester break. Does that mean I'll finally have time to rest?

NOPE! It means that it's time for me to work, work, work!!! FYP!!!

来週から一週間の休み。でも、これは休むでもない、もちろん宿題をするつもり。

まぁ、宿題より、プロジェクトのほうが正しい。

とりあえず、一生懸命にやろう！

独占欲

私はね、たぶん独占欲が強いかもしれないな。。。

どうしてそう言うの？それはね、あるゲームや漫画見るとき、ちょっぴりと思うんだ。

自分のものをほかの人に触ったりするのも結構嫌だし、誰か自分のものを奪うのも大嫌いだし。。。

えっと、これは誰にも同じじゃない？えへへ、まぁ、うまく言えないけど、そのものよ。

Busy, busy!

Ahhh!!! Why is a final year project such a pain in the ass?

A supposed break is coming up soon, but I'm pretty sure it's still work as usual...

Argh...

めんどくさいな！どうして宿題がぜんぜん終わらないの？？

休みがくるはずだけど、それも多分今のままに忙しい。。。

うっとしい。。。

Relief

The CA turned out to be a lot easier than what I had originally thought. Even though the last part was still as what I had dreaded, I was at least able to write something out. Oh well, this doesn't mean that the final results will be good or not, but at least, it's still worth a sigh of relief~

思ったより簡単だね。もちろん、テストのこと。

まぁ、これでもいい成績を取るわけではないけど、一応、安心した。

Panic!

As per the title, that sort of explains how I'm feeling now. With the dreaded test coming up tomorrow... seems like things just can't get any worse. Not to mention that my condition still hasn't totally recovered... ARGH!

どうしてそんなに不幸？

ううん、不幸ではないけど、とりあえず、運が悪いのは確かに。テストもすぐで、病気もまだ完全に治すではない。

もう、勘弁してくれよ！

Ahh!!!

Yet another CA is coming up... in like a couple of days.

AHHHH!!! MUST STUDY!!! (PANIC PANIC PANIC)

えっと、今はもう遅いかも。でも、もうすぐテストがある。もう終わりだ！

間に合うかな？そうしかないんだ！

Feeling better

Didn't manage to post yesterday. Was so bad that I even had to skip some afternoon lessons and get home to rest. Running nose + Blocked nose + Headache + Fatigue + Sore throat = A lot of pain...

At the very least, almost all of my symptoms are gone by now. Only left with a bit of sore throat and some dizziness.

調子が少々よくなってきた。まだ完全によくなるのわけではないけど、いい全よりずっといい。

まぁ、そのうちに治すだね。考えでも仕方ないから、そうする。

病気

今日の午後から、病気になった気がする。まぁ、気がするより、本当に病気だったの方が正しい。

だから、体が超だるい。。。鼻水も止まらないほどに。。。

あああぁぁぁぁっ！！！気持ち悪い！今日はもう寝る！

FYP followup

Well, 2 days ago I mentioned that I need to meet up with the graduate student I'm working with, but I've still yet to do that... It just so happened that she's not available when I'm free for the past 2 days. But it's okay, since I've already arranged with her to meet up tomorrow.

Hopefully, everything goes well and gets sorted out so that I can carry on with my work and catchup on lost time.

最近は本当に疲れたね。さすがに毎日遅く寝て、朝早く起きるは体によくないな。。。

このことは直さなきゃ。でも、考えも仕方ないから、そのうちに、ね＾＾

FYP woes

My FYP is really giving me a lot of headaches now, with the data collation being a lot more difficult than I thought. The reference papers appear to not have all the data they used, and they also didn't list down the conditions and individual solubility conclusions... It was more like a validation of the predictive function of their method.

AHH!!! I must go and meet up with the graduate student I'm working with and sort out these problems...

頭が痛い！もう信じられないほどうに。

学校のことが一杯、その上、自分のことはなかなかわからなくて。。。いったいどうなってれの！

世代交代

また世代交代した！今回のは四代目だね。

でも、メロッメロン・３とお別れはやっぱり悲しい。。。

今回のお別れ手紙：

まぁっ、悲しいことはその辺にしましょ。

今度のメロンはぷにぷに！を育つつもりだけど、どうやらメロンを選ぶとき間違えた。。。ってことは、今回のメロンは蛇（？！）になった。

それでも、自分のメロンは大切な子供から、蛇でもいっぱい可愛がってる！大事な子なんだから！

Counter evolved again!

Didn't mention this yesterday, but my counter evolved again.

Wonder how far more it will go?

また成長した！カウンターのこと。

どこまだいけるのかな？まぁ、いつかわかる。

夢中

なんだか、ゲームに夢中になった。このままじゃだめ。

予定は週末に力全開。

うまくいくかな。。。

Movie!

I don't really watch movies that much, since most of them don't interest me, but today I went with my brothers to watch the Disney/Pixar movie Wall-E.

To be honest, it's quite a nice, soothing movie. The way it potrays the emotions of the robots is surreal, but still gives a nice warm feeling. Seeing how the lazy, fat humans try to stand up again and fight against the sedentary lifestyle is also nice.

Perhaps, I should go out more often to watch movies! =)

今日、新しい映画を見た！それに、この映画は、なんと！アニメーションだよ！

えへへ、アメリカのアニメーションだけど、なかなかいいものだね。見直した！じゃないだけど。。。

まぁ、いいことだね、映画を見るなんて。これからもたまに見る行こうかな？

Slowly, bit by bit

It appears that I'm slowly adapting back to normal school life. Even though I still feel tired (and sick) of having to wake up early on one day, then can sleep in on the other (which I think isn't too good for the body...), but at least, I am adapting better. And stealing some short winks is actually beneficial now!

少しずつ慣れてきたのようだね。講義中はまだちょっと眠い気がするけど、だんだんよくなる。

これからも頑張らなきゃ。では～

Another day, another week

As said, just yet another day in the start of week. Nothing special, at least not yet. Still haven't completed my work, or rather, not started my work... Oh well.

何も変わらないままだね。まだ休み雰囲気中みたいね。

まぁ、今はまだ早いかも。気にすることない～

Very tired...

Don't know why, or perhaps I do... But I've been feeling very tired over the past weekend. I guess it's partially because of gaming too much, and also sleeping too late (or rather, too early in the morning =x). Guess I'm still not fully adjusted back to school... And then there's still all those work piling up and waiting for me to complete... Aizzz

ほんとに疲れた。遊びすぎるかな？それとも、寝る時間が足りない？

やっぱ、二つの原因もあるだね。直さないと。。。

Found something

Found some interesting japanese games recently off the net. Being able to study japanese, and play, and have fun at the same time... What an enjoyable thing!

But then again, I don't really have the time nor freedom to play and fool around now. There's still those FYP data for me to collate and arrange...

最近いいもの見つけちゃったね。えへへ。

面白し、日本語の勉強ができるし、とても楽しいことかも。

まぁ、今は学校のことで精一杯なので、もうあまり遊ぶことができないね。。。

Missed a tutorial...

I can't believe it... I refuse to believe it! I actually copied down my tutorial timing incorrectly, and missed my tutorial today! Ahh..... T.T

That's going to have a negative effect on my record >.<

信じられない。。。まさかクラスの時間を間違えて、クラスに間に合わなかった。

これは大失敗だね。もう後戻りができない。

悲しすぎる。。。

I just saw my counter register 777 hits! IT'S JACKPOT!!

Yeah! Kind of like, feels so happy!

Pointless though. But oh well, thanks to everyone!

カウント７７７着く！これも皆さんのおかげなので、感謝している！

これからもよろしく！

Random stuff

Hmm... Had a really cheap lunch courtesy of my mobile service provider. As part of a promotion, we get to have a fastfood set meal worth ~$6 at the price of $1! Nice to be able to save money^^

いろいろなことに興味ある、だけど、同じようにいろいろなことに興味ない。

まぁ、何か言いたいがわかる？わからなくてもいい。別に。

At last!

I finally managed to meet my supervisor! But he is indeed, as some people had gossiped, a bit cold and unfeeling towards his FYP students. In fact, he didn't even know that I have already taken up the project and was still asking if I'm interested in taking up the project after having explained the gist of it to me! But at least, the graduate students on the project with me appeared to be quite nice. So hopefully, everything will go well.

I'll have to head down there again on Thurs to copy some files for collating. And the work sounds like a lot too... but at least, there's progress in my FYP!

考えな、感じるんだ。てね！

すばらしい発言だね！えへへ、それは今の私の考え方かもしれない。

ちょっと危険けど、一緒にがばろうぜ！

At last!!

My supervisor finally replied to my email!! But the timing given clashes with my lectures... so I have to reply to him again and get another timing. Hopefully, the reply will come a lot faster this time. Another 2 weeks of waiting is going to kill me =x

ようやく来た！何だよ？えへへ、それは、ひ・み・つ。って、これはちょっと怪しいじゃない？

まぁ、いいけど。とにかく、重要のはこれからは進める。

それでは、ひとつお祈りする！

Birthday party

Celebrated my cousin (also my god sister)'s birthday tonight. Well, it was a celebration in name, but is more of a dinner. Not to mention that the dinner was also a treat by my uncle.

Oh well, at least we all came together and wished her a "Happy Birthday!" and everyone was happy. Today was also the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Didn't manage to catch it due to the dinner-cum-celebration, but since we recorded it, we can still watch it anytime at our pleasure =P

皆さんのお誕生日はどうやって祝するのかな？ここは大抵一緒にご飯を食べるし、ケーキを切るし、それに歌を歌う。

興味あるね。。。皆さんは教えてくれない？

夏祭り

今日は夏祭りがあった！

場所はチャンギの日本人学校。入場料は＄２だが、実はうちわ料だった。どう有意味？まぁ、チケットはうちわと交わすから。

祭りのものはちょっと高いけど、まぁ、面白いからいいじゃない。

来年も行ける？そのうちにわかる。

AGM!

We had our club AGM tonight, but it was an AGM that is totally unlike any of the past AGMs that I had been to.

First of all, there isn't even an AGM report to go through. Instead, we have separate presentations by the upcoming committee people, and an introduction of the new committee along with some fun and laughter as some of our club artists draw caricatures of the exco members.

Oh well, as long as everyone had fun. The turnout was also rather surprising, at a total of around 65 members out of the total of 100, it was likely the highest turnout that we had, at least for those that I had been to. =P

今夜は本当に疲れたね。。。

部活の会議あって、その後一緒に晩御飯へ行った。今回のはこの以前以上の出席率があったよ。晩御飯は３０人以上なんだって。

一年の始まりにはすごかった。このままその調子に行くのお祈りする～☆

Wait, and wait, and wait - And complain!

Here's a little story about a person who went to book a venue and was told that he will be informed when the booking is confirmed to make payment. In the end, 2 weeks down the road, he suddenly receives a phone call asking if he still wants the venue as the date is 2 days later and payment has yet to be made. Surprised at not being informed, he still decide to go down the next day to make payment.

And... surprise! He waited a whooping 1hr15min before he managed to get to see the person and get the invoice to make payment for the booking. The end result is that he ended up 30mins late for lesson even though he arrived 1 hour before the start of the lesson.

信じられない。まさか１時間以上を待った。もうそんなようなことはさせない。もういい。

このことは絶対許さない！

Sent off.

We sent off my uncle's body for cremation today after the final ceremony. The proceedings at the crematorium itself is rather fast, and we don't even get a chance to see how it went since it just goes into the furnace and everything is gone and over. Heard that the proceedings is slightly different at different places, so I guess it's just how that place we went to works.

すべては終わった。できることはもうすんだ。残りのは人々の思いだけ。元気出してね。

Funeral wake.

Went down to my uncle's wake again tonight for the last prayer session before sending off for cremation tomorrow.

It's really weird about how Singaporeans are... even when burning offerings and saying prayers, they still don't forget about "lucky numbers" and to ask for blessings for wealth. I guess it's part of the culture here...

今夜も儀式へ行った。シンガポール人は本当に面白いね。。。亡くなったの人の為にの祈りをするときもお金のことを忘れず。

本当にわけわからないな。。。

Low.

Attended my uncle's wake yesterday night. Don't really know what to say about it. I don't really feel as sad as some of my other relatives, but then again, there's this indescribable feeling too.

Will be going down to the wake again tomorrow night as he will be sent off the following noon.

実は書きたいことがあるけど、今の日本語のレベルは書くにくいかも。どうやって書くも知らない。

本当にちょっとがっかりだ。。。

Gone.

It's hard to know what the feeling is, but losing someone close to you is something serious isn't it?

Well, someone close, or rather, should be close is gone. Even though he's a direct relative, but I'm not really that close to him. Still, losing someone is losing someone, and I guess there will be more of such things, since that's what life is like.

家族の人が亡くなったの感じはどうだったのかな？実は今日は親戚の人が。。。

まぁ、しかったない。

FYP

With the final year project title finally decided, it's time to move on to the actual discussion and start work. Seems like my project is going to be computer based modeling... wonder how it'll turn out.

今学期もなかなか面白くなってきたね。来週から本番だね！

元気いっぱい行くよう！

Aiyee!!

Why! Why! Why! Why do I have to go through such a long sequence of events before I can see the Xmas eve event? And with no chance of saving in between too!!!

Oh well, I've already cleared 4 of them now. Just 3 more left to go.

信じられない。まさか本当に七回同じことをするなんて。つまらないけど、すべてのクリスマスイブイベントを見たいなら、そうしないとだめ。

まぁ、同じボスを七回倒れるもなかなか上手になるじゃない。もう少しだね。

A little break into the term

No school for today! A little break just in the start of the term.

Well, not really needed, but since I'm still in denial (sort of), it's a great help =P

今日は休みので、学校へ行かなかった。別に全学校が休みじゃないけど、ただ私の。

これもいいよ。だって、明日は病気で夜早く寝た。だから、今日はたっぶりお返し！

I'm sick! Sick!

Ya. I'm sick... Down with a something that feels like a terrible cold. The unending nose drips and sneezes really irritates me!

Got a lot better after getting home and taking some medicine, but now I'm feeling really drowsy... Guess it's time to go to bed. 1st gen really works well, but the side effects work just as well too. =x

久々に病気になった。別にうれしいことではないけど。今回は鼻水がいっぱいでった。

まぁ、とにかく、薬を飲んで、早く休むほうがいいだろう。

では、また。

Back to school!

The long, long break is over... and today's the start of the new semester proper.

Well, the lack of posting over the couple of days was a bit of laziness on my side... should have posted on National Day though. =x

Today's program was quite simple, just a little lecture in the morning, then a lot of talks after that =x

新学期始めた！久々の学園生活だね。。。

今はまだ休み気分だけど。。。そのうちだよね～♪

Weekend and Dinner

So we've entered the last weekend before school officially reopens from today.

Dinner was settled over at Ikea's but this time round we have a total of 5 people, thus making it a lot better, since we didn't end up having too much food for too little people =x

As a side note, today's also the official opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

えっとね、あと２日だよ。もうすぐって意味。

なんとゆうか、ちょっと緊張かもしれない。だって、３月ぶりの学校生活だもん。

Safety Induction Course

Went for the faculty safety induction course today meant for new honours students and research fellows/assistants. A complete waste of time too, if I may add. Numerous people start flowing out and leaving halfway through the lectures, with some coming back at the end just for the sake of the test, and some of them just not caring about it and not returning.

Hopefully, this will be the last of such meaningless procedure work. I admit that some of the information may be useful, but to spend an entire day of such a thing and to attempt to talk so much rubbish just isn't very bright.

つまらなかった。意味がないじゃ！

今日はひとつつまらない講義を受けた。ただつまらないじゃなくて、しかも一日を潰した。もうこんな事はごめんね！

Countdown! Countdown!

Just a few more days left. Tomorrow's pretty much booked with the safety induction briefing/course (whatever) that spans the whole day from 8:30 in the morning to 5:30 in the evening.

Oh well, just take it as a little adaptation day back to school =P

もう少し。。。もう少し。。。

って、今日は友達がカラオケへ行ったけど、用事があるので行かなかった。惜しいぞそれ！

しかったないけど、やっぱり気になる。今回はちゃんと。。。行け！

Aiii....

Forgotten to post again yesterday =x

Anyways, we had our FYP briefing yesterday on what to do and about what is going to happen, for all of us clueless folks. Basically, it's decided that there will be short talks (within 30 minutes) given by the various supervisors of the different projects next Wednesday and the balloting will be done by Friday with the final choices being submitted to the office by the same day.

Gotta think about the choices and make a decision soon...

もうすぐだよ。新しい学期。来週から。

この残り少ない日は大事しないとね。。。

The day after exercising

So I didn't post yesterday, but in the end I did fail my fitness test as I had originally expected to. Not a big surprise at that since I've not been really been training/exercising for a long time. The fact that I actually passed some items was quite a surprise for me though =P

Anyways, from yesterday, I've been feeling varying amounts of pain in my legs, probably due to overexertion after having been so slack for such a long time. Hopefully, it will go away by tonight's rest as I've to go back to school tomorrow for a briefing =x

いたたたた。。。って、痛いだ！昨日から足がよくそう呼んだ。

もう修行しないといけないね。来年はきっと勝つ！！

Fitness test tomorrow!

As stated in the title, I'll be going for a fitness test tomorrow... Kind of excited and scared also since I haven't been training nor exercising for a long, long time. Wonder how badly I'll fail =P

明日はとても特別なひだよ。だって、体力試験があるよ。って、試験はちょっとかもしれないけど。。。

まぁ、そうゆう感じだな！では、今日は早速寝るだぜ！

FYP at last!

My department finally released information about FYP today. Took them long enough...

Got to read through them before going for the briefing on Monday. And I suddenly have a safety briefing that lasts a whole which I have to attend on Thursday next week... Aiks.

忙しい、忙しい！何とか忙しくなった。休みがすぐ終わるからかな？あはは、それは当然じゃない。

もう余り時間が残りないし、まだやりたいことがあるなら、さっさとやろう！

Forgotten to post?

Yesterday... even though, for a change, there is actually new and interesting stuff to write about... What's wrong with me? X.X

Anyways, let's talk about yesterday. Went for my matriculation fair booth duty in the morning, though this time round, I'm a lot more less aggressive and laid back compared to how I was for the past 2 years. The turnout also appeared to be a lot less... Even though there are supposedly more and more students being admitted into the school compared to the past.

After matric fair duty, the next itinerary on plan was going down to a gym for some familarisation training on treadmill running. Turns out that I'm really rusty when it comes to physical training... Just a short period of running, and I'm totally gone, and exhausted. Seems that I'm really not going to make it...

As for today, nothing much really. Other than some more relaxing and slacking again... to recover, perhaps.

えっと、さぽているにまた新しいコスチュームが出るよ。２周年のアルポータルの記念もののひとつ。

今回のも可愛いね！ぜひ二つのコスチュームを手にいる～♪

Just a bit left

Time to wake up early again tomorrow. Matric fair booth duty calls.

Let's double confirm our information. Booth 45 in MPSH 1.

Hmm... have to make a trip down to SAFRA after that in the afternoon for a familiarisation run too... Been some time since things are getting busy again.

もう少しだね。明日からいろいろなことが始まる。もうのんびり生活を慣れたまま、私はできるかな？

まぁ、今どう考えても無駄だ。明日ってわかる。

2 more weeks left

2 more weeks left till the start of school. I'll be going back on Tue to help out with the Matriculation Fair booth for our club. Morning shift... time to condition my body back to waking up early in the morning, both for that, and also for the start of the new semester.

えっと、何を書きたいかな？昨日はソウルクレイドルのことを書いた。

って、なに言ったよ、私。まだ遊びたいや見たいものが残りけど、もう時間がないみたいね。

あと二週間しか残らない。

Fatigue persists...

As per title. Still feeling tired and kind of dizzy at times. Didn't really sleep well last night again. Hmm... perhaps I should really consider the proposition of changing places to sleep tonight to try out and see if I can sleep better.

えっと、今日はねソウルクレイドルの裏ルートをコンプリートした。残りのは裏チャラを探そうだけだよね。

では～♪

Aiyee... Insomnia...

Been having insomnia-like symptoms for the past three days... Wonder what's wrong with me? I could spend like 1-2 hours just tossing and turning on my bed and just can't fall asleep. Yesterday was the worse. I felt that I was awake for almost the whole night... which is why I'm like so lethargic and groggy now.

Wonder what's the reason behind me feeling so exciting and agitated that I can't fall asleep... Perhaps I'll try sleeping somewhere else tonight =x

あぁ、眠い。。。この三日、夜はあまり寝なかった。別に寝たくない、ただわからない原因で、なんか興奮過ぎるので、ぜんぜん寝なかった。今夜はそんなようにならないならいいけど。。。

でも、原因がわからないまま、多分何も変わらないかもね。。。

McDonalds, again.

As mentioned yesterday, today is McDonalds, again! 3rd glass in the series. This time round, the image is that of Athletes. Just 2 more left to go!

That'll bring us just around the start of the 2008 Olympics, and also the nation's birthday! And of cos, school...

It appears that module bidding is starting. At least round 0, that is. Time to get busy again...

信じられない。。。まさかメロちゃんの食事を忘れた＞x＜

もう買ったばかりのに。。。どうしてそんなにドジなの、私って。

しかったないな。。。今月のレコードはもう壊れちゃった。

Running out of things...

To say. Yup. That's it. But seriously, with each passing day more or less the same, there really isn't much to add here...

Well, at least there will be something to talk about tomorrow though, as it's the beginning of a new cycle. We'll see =P

あらあら。書きたいことがほとんどない。どうしましょう？

まぁ、とりあえず、ソウルクレイドルがやっとコンプリート。１００％ではないが、一応一回目が終わった。エンディングはダネットのようだ。

次は裏ルート予定。では！

もうすぐかもしれない。

えっと、何だけ？もう忘れたの気がするけど。。。

つまり、何かもうすぐ終わるか始まるかのこと。何なのかな？それは今まで誰にもわからない。。。

私以前がわかるけど、このときは忘れたからしかったない。

では、これまで。

Failed...

Even though I repeated the process, I still failed in the end. Oh well, guess that just means that the RNG doesn't like me... Just push on I guess.

Just 3 more weeks before school reopens... time flies >x<

また失敗しちゃった。。。なんかむかつく。このときはダネットの言葉を利用して、「いらつきます」。

あと三週間。ドキドキの休みがもうすぐ終わる、それからは新たな学期。

It's done.

Regarding what I posted yesterday, I've since restarted the process - even though it really is quite a pain to redo things like this. Kind of being rushed and all, but oh well.

Hopefully this time round, we'll be successful so that we don't have to go through this sort of mess again.

何考えはわからないけど、私は最終にやり直した。正直ちょっとやりすぎかもしれないが、しかったない。

「これからは本番だな！」と言いたいけど、結局それは正しいやそうじゃないやもわからない。

思うとうりになればいいよね！

Dilemna?

Encountered a little bit of problem recently, and can't decide on whether to repeat the process again or to just push on. Hmm... decisions, decisions...

So what to do?

どうしようかな？最近ちょっと問題があるようになった。やり直すやこのまま続くも可能だけど。

あぁ、難しい。。。

As always.

Today has been pretty much the same as what had been over the past few days. Slacking and playing and worrying...

Oh, forgot to mention this earlier, but P4 has since arrived in like a week ago, but I haven't opened it yet as I'm currently kind of busy with other stuff and Soul Cradle.

つまらないな、私の生活は。本当だよ。毎日つまらなくて、同じことばかり。

何か楽しいことがないのかな。。。

About McDonalds, and coke glasses

Didn't mention this before, but McDonalds recently (from a week ago) started a campaign for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and were giving out 5 different designs of coke glasses representing 5 different sports with each upsized extra value meal bought.

Naturally, the collector spirit inside me burned, and I went out to buy the first glass with an Archery design one week ago. Today, I went down to McDonalds again and bought the second glass with a Volleyball design. Just 3 more glasses to go! (Just in case you've not realised, but a new glass is available each week.)

よく考えば、やっぱり一番着せ替えアイテムに似合うメロはメロリンだね。今の子も可愛いけど、やっぱりメロリンは一番可愛い～♪

でも、今の目的はすべてのメロを、かな？まぁ、とりあえず、今のままにしよう。

メロパー

今日は私のメロのことを書く。

えっと、今日はね、新しい着せ替え物が出るよ！今回のテーマはマリンアイテム、つまり、海っぽいのアイテム！

前はよく取り逃がすけど、今回はちゃんと限定の着せ替えアイテムを買った！でも、全部で２０００パールから、今はもう貧乏になった。。。＞x＜

それでも、よかったね。用は限定アイテムを買うことだから。まぁ、もし興味があるなら、私のメロの部屋へ見に来てね～♪

メロウィンドウやここからもいけるよ。それでは、訪問を待てるぜ～♪

And so, it goes on...

And so, it goes on... Yet another day has passed, and we're one step closer to the start of the new academic year and the end of the holidays. Today has been yet another boring day, or rather unremarkable day.

As a side note, the counter image changed/upgraded again! Thanks to the breaking of the 600 hits mark I guess =P

あった！また成長したようだね、カウンター。それは６００以上のおかげじゃない？

えっと、今日はね、またひとつ面白くない日だった。まぁ、それはもう当然なことじゃない？

えへへ、また面白いことがあるなら、書くよ～♪　ではでは～☆

Movie and Chalet

Didn't have time, or rather, forgot to post yesterday... >x<

Well, so let's talk about yesterday. As mentioned earlier, I went to watch the movie 赤壁 last night as part of a charity program. The tickets cost $40 each! Oh well... The movie was screened at Lido 1, which is a really big theatre. I guess at least 700+ people could have squeezed inside. The movie itself wasn't too bad, though at some places the use of CGs and repeated scenes were a tad too overwhelming. The worst part about it though, was that the movie was actually split into two parts, and the 2.5 hour show that I watched yesterday was just the first part, with another part left that is scheduled to hit the big screens in Jan next year.

Let's also not forget about the chalet. By the time I arrived, it was already 10+pm at night, and the BBQ session was already over. There are people in the living room playing games, and people in the rooms doing stuff, which I had no idea what they were up to. This year's chalet had a lot of people compared to the past few ones that I went to, which is a good thing, but there were also a lot of people there who I do not know or recognise, which I guess is also a good thing since it means that people other comm members are finally coming to the chalet, with even attendance from people who are not part of the club.

Didn't sleep at all last night, which I guess wasn't too much of a surprise as people usually don't go to a chalet to sleep, do they? =P Played card games throughout the night, and one of them, Anima, the Shadow of Omega, actually took us like 4+ hours to complete. By the time we were done, it was already 5+am in the morning...

After a breakfast of microwaved leftovers from the BBQ, and a short bit of rest, I left the chalet with some of my friends, though there were still people staying back - the chalet booking was for 2 nights afterall. The first thing I did when I got back was to shower and change, then sleep. By the time I woke up, it was already 7:30pm at night... Talk about a lot of sleep X.X

疲れた。。。昨夜がぜんぜん眠くなかった。それはどうして？うまく教えないけど、つまり、遊んでるから。

昨日もブログの書くを忘れた。。。あぁ、もう！何を考えて、私。メロを忘れなかったはよかったけど。

では、また今度ね。

Weekend, again.

And so the weekend comes by again. Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and also the day that I'm going for a charity movie in the evening, followed by my club's chalet after that.

The movie is supposed to end at around 9pm, which means that I will be freaking late for the chalet... Oh well, hopefully I won't be missing out on too much =x

もうひとつの週末。それの意味は休みはもっと短くなる。しかったないじゃない、誰にも時間の流れを止まることができない。

まぁ、いいでしょ、今はたっぷり休みの味を感じて、たくさん遊んでるよ～♪

マナケミア２ ～おちた学園と錬金術士たち～ ただいま完了！

Finally completed it! As the title says, I've just completed Mana Khemia 2 tonight.

The final save has 100% item collection and 100% endings completed. Took me a total of 103 hours and 46 minutes to complete the game entirely in the end.

Just for info, here's the time for my various save files:
- Rozeluxe's Side (All endings available, 1st playthrough) 53:59
- Ulrika's Side (All endings available, 2nd playthrough) 93:02
- Extra Scenario (3rd playthrough) 103:14
- Final clear save 103:46

Now what to do next... Have to think about that first!!

やっと終わった！マナケミア２完全完了おめでとう～♪

最後のセーブは１００％アイテムと１００％エンディングがあるよ！つまり、コンプリートクリアってことよ！えへへ、なんかうれしいな。だってさ、１００％コンプリートのゲームは今の私にとって難しいことから。まだ遊んでないゲームがいっぱいから、あまり時間がないので、たくさんゲームはまだ１００％コンプリート前に完了。

まぁ、とにかく！今はすごっくうれしい～かも♪

つぎはP4予定だけど、まだ届かないから、今は何をしようかな？考えないとね。

Lively?

A package arrived for me today from amazon.co.jp. It was the CD that I mentioned earlier that I forgot to cancel and reorder together as a package. Just in case you are interested, it's part of a 3 maxi single release from 妖精帝國. I've also just placed an order for the upcoming 2 other releases, and this time round, I made sure that they are packaged together and will come together in a single shipment.

Another thing to note is that I read about Google's new web program, Lively, in the newspapers today and decided to try it out for fun. Unfortunately, the program crashed on me when I was trying to change my avatar... =.=

Perhaps we'll give it another go tomorrow?

もうすぐウルリカ編も終わりだよ。残りのは最後のアイテムを作って、そして少し材料を集めて、ラスボスをもう一度倒すならで完了～ちなみに、もう四回そのボスを倒した、すべてのエンディングを見るために。

今日はウルリカ編終了予定。次からはエクストラシナリオへレっツゴー！

Orders and shipping

Just received an email today informing that my order for Persona 4 has been shipped. Since it's by normal economy route, guess it'll take around a week for it to arrive. Which means that I have one week to do other things before I can try out P4.

Oh well, one week isn't too long a wait anyways~

今日、メロパーには新しいアイテムが出たよ！マリンシリーズのアイテムだ！

最初は着せ替えアイテムだと思ったけど、実は部屋のアイテムだって。えへへ、わたしってばうっかりだね。。。

まぁ、そんなことより、今のメロの部屋はちゃんと海っぽくになったよ！見るならきっと、海風の感じだな！それでは、早速見にこうよ！

A mistake

Ack! Forgot to cancel my order for an item via amazon.co.jp, and it's too late now, that the email informing me that my order has been readied for shipping has arrived... >x<

The shipping cost is even higher than that of the item itself, about 1.2x higher... Which is the reason why I wanted to delay the shipping so that I can put more things together before I confirm it... Should have canceled it earlier...

Too late now...

もうすぐウルリカ編も終わりよ。今は第七章で、第九章で終わるから、あと二章だね。

それからはそのエクストラシナリオへ行こう！さっさと出発！

ではでは、また！

七月七日、七夕のだ！

今日は七月七日だ！つまり、七夕！皆さんはもう願いを書いたのかな？

実はね、本当の七夕は陰暦の七月なのかだけど、日本人は新暦の七月七日で七夕を祝するから、今日は七夕になった。

えっと、書きたいことはそれなので、また今度ね！

One more Sunday, one less week

Yet another Sunday has passed, which means I have about 5 weeks of holidays left. Well, this isn't that bad, since 5 weeks is still a pretty long period of time, but that also means that I can't just slack and rot and waste time. Gotta think things through and plan what I want to do with the remaining time.

After all, time that's wasted don't come back...

今日、ウルリカ編を始めた。よく考えば、やっぱりウルリカ編はロゼ編よりちょっと難しいかもしれない。だって、最終からの人数は二人だけで、戦えもちょっと厳しい。二人の魔法使いのパーディーはあまりだよね。

でも彼女の物語はもっとあの世界のことを伝えてるのは確かに。まぁ、ロゼ編からので、どうせ簡単すぎからさ。APの振り方はちょっとだけどね。

CosFest VII

Went down to CosFest VII today. For this year, CosFest is divided into 2 days, with the first day's highlight being a karaoke competition, and the second day's highlight being the staple cosplay competition. Today is the first day, so the highlight today is the karaoke competition.

Well, to be honest, I feel that majority of the participants aren't really that good. A couple of them are totally gone, or to something of that extent =x This doesn't mean that there aren't any good ones though, at the very least, I did find one of the participants to be rather good. The rest were, either below average, or acceptable. Okay, I'm not really in a position to judge since I'm not that good myself either, but that's just how I feel about it.

We have a booth at CosFest this year. We, meaning our club of course. Unfortunately, sales at our booth wasn't that good today. In fact, it was rather bad... but at least I think we did manage to get back the rental fee, or did we? Anyways, it's a new experience for us, and who knows, maybe tomorrow will be better.

There was a meeting tonight after CosFest, but I wasn't able to make it for the meeting. That was even though I had initially said that I will be going for it. The reason was that my parents are going over to Malaysia tonight and will be gone for quite a few days and they wanted me to join the family for dinner. Oh well... though I guess my presence or not there won't really affect the outcome much since I usually don't speak up during meetings =x

Another thing to add is that my uncle's condition is really serious. It is likely that it won't be long... End stage is after all, the end, in a sense.

今日、ロゼ編がようやく終わった！それだけではなく、ロゼ編のすべてのエンディングも見たよ！すごいじゃない、私。えへへ～♪

明日からウルリカ編を始まる予定。それでは、早速出発！

Upcoming events

CosFest is happening this coming weekend, and our club chalet is happening on the next weekend. Things are getting pretty exciting as it goes.

This year's CosFest will be held over a total of 2 days, though I will only be going down on Sat, which is tomorrow. Don't really feel like going down to it twice =x

As for the chalet, we'll see how it goes, but it is likely that I will stay for at most one day. I might not even be able to make it for the BBQ, as there is something else on that evening.

That aside, this coming 2 weekends are still pretty interesting^^

後もう少しだね。マナケミア２の半分、ロゼの物語がもうすぐ終わる。それからはウルリカの物語へゴー！

多分、今週の日曜や来週からだね＾＾

忘れたもの。。。

実は先日のことで、興奮すぎる（？）かもしれない。って、何言ったよ、私。。。

それより、前に忘れたのメロのお別れのメッセージも用意した：


今回もあのシーンを見るとなんか泣きそうな気がする。。。悲しすぎるかもしれないな、それは。

それでは、また今度ね。

Feelings (?)

Went to see my uncle who is hospitalised before going for dinner today. It appears that his condition isn't too good, and there doesn't seem to be many options left for him.

In such a situation, how would you feel? Even if he's not that close to you, someone in your family in such a situation... I guess, the feeling should be mutual. Alas, there is nothing much we can do, other than supporting him and hoping for the best.

私のさぽているがある意外のおかげで、今はちょっと、レッスン中。まぁ、大事なことじゃない、時間があれば直れること。

それより、今は今後のことをどうすればを考えるう。それは一番大事だからさ。

また世代交代した！

今日、メロを世代交代した！今回はちゃんと海に住んでるになった。

以前のメロとお別れがとても悲しかったけど、仕方ない。今は新たなメロを中心に。

それでは、これからもよろしくね♪

Claymore

I'm trying to find Claymore, as I really want to watch it, but I guess it's going to be a bit hard, and is going to take quite a bit of time... Oh well, at least I have other things to do while I wait for it though.

Have about slightly more than a week left till the next release of something that I'm interested in... and I'm not even done with my previous item. Ahh!!! Too many things to do and not enough time >.<

今日一日マナケミア２を遊んだ。実は遅いはね、私。あと１０日でペルソナ４が出るだけど、以前のゲームがまだまだ終わらない。ってゆうか、まだ始まったばかり。。。

そんなんじゃだめだ！もっとがんばらないといけない。それでは、精一杯ゲームを続く。アニメはまた今度にしよう。だって、CLAYMOREがまだ見つからないもん。

Toy Convention and Ikea

There's actually a Toy Convention down at Suntec this weekend, the first of its kind here, but due to various reasons, I didn't go down to the convention in the end. I originally had plans to go down though. A pity that I wasn't able to go for it in the end.

Dinner was settled over at Ikea. We had a voucher worth $50 and had to spend it all, so we bought 2 chicken legs, 2 plates of 6 chicken wings each, 1 plate of 15 meatballs, 1 plate of 10 meatballs, and a plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce. The total bill was around $48.50, meaning that we still lost $1.50, but that's not much of a concern. The food was nice, and quite a lot too, especially since there are only 4 of us.

That pretty much means the end of yet another weekend. 6 more weeks left.

またひとつのんびりした日。何なのよ、私。＞x＜

まぁ、そんなことも悪くないよ。だってさ、のんびりするも幸せのひとつじゃない？＾＾

えへへ、それでは、またね！❤

Venus Versus Virus (VVV)

The title of the series that I completed today is Venus Versus Virus, aka VVV. Why versus virus? Well because that's what the enemies that the main characters fight against are called. The dark remnants of humans that have their souls removed. Why venus? That, I'm not really sure, but I guess it must be related to the two main characters, Sumire（スミレ） and Lucia（ルチア）, both of who are girls if you haven't already realised.

Well, this series isn't that bad, in fact, it was rather fun and interesting and kind of kept you at your seat to keep on going till the end. However, the end was rather... bad, IMO. What happened in the end was not made clear, though all of the main villians are gone, but you don't really know the fate of the two girls and what happens to their world after the final clash. That is what I believe is lacking to make this series a lot better.

今日が見たアニメは「ヴィーナス・ヴァーサス・ヴァイアラス」と言う。えっと、それについての考えはね、面白くて楽しかっただけど、ちょっとストリーに不満がある。

まぁ、日本語はあまり上手じゃないから、うまく説明できないが、一番不満のことはそのエンドディング。見るならわかる。でも、本当にいいシリーズから、時間があれば、必ず見るよ～♪

それでは、またね！❤

Completed a series

Kind of find it unbelievable myself too, but I've completed Sumomomo Momomo today. That's a total of 2 days for a series, though a rather short one at 22 episodes.

Anyways, I really must voice it out here, but I really can't stand those useless, pieces of crap that like to shoot off their mouths and distrust and hurt those who care for them the most and believe in and fall into the traps of those who want to hurt them. By these I mean those useless main characters that frequently appear in anime. Inuzuka Koushi from Sumomomo Momomo is one who falls into such a category, and who I totally dislike.

Enough of the babbling~ Time to catchup on more series~

すごかったじゃない？二日に「すもももももも」を終わらせるって。なんか以前の一日にひとつアニメシリーズを終わらせるの調子に近ずいたのようだね～♪

ここに言わなければならないこともあるよ。考えが甘えすぎる人が大嫌いってこと。アニメにはよく見たけど、現実世界に本当にそんな人がたくさんいるのかな？そうなら、この世界も救わないのよ。。。

まぁ、そんなことはあまり気にしないで。ではでは、次は何を見ましょうかな？

Back to Anime!

Back to anime watching again! Been like, more than a year(?) since I've last sat down seriously to watch anime, and my backlog of titles that I want to watch just kept piling up to the point where I am literally buried under all those stuff.

So what title am I currently watching? It's a comedy romance based on martial arts - Sumomomo Momomo. Downright hilarious^^

またアニメを見た！久しぶりだよね。まだ見えないアニメが１６０GB以上になったから、もう見なければならない。

今回のアニメは「すもももももも」と言う。ラブコメで、とても面白い！まだまだはじめてから、この先は何があるはまだわからないけど、楽しみにしてる～♪

Shaolin Girl

I went to watch Shaolin Girl today! The turnout was rather bad though, only 3 other friends besides myself, but the movie was totally worth it. Lots of fun and laughter and CG effects. In fact, there are some parts where the CG effects are totally over the board and the story became totally insane, but it's still nice and fun to watch^^

Don't expect to see much lacrosse though =P

映画、すごかった！久しぶりの映画。。。じゃないけど。実は少し前にもう一つの映画を見た。だけど、少林少女はコメディーので、すごくおもしろくて楽しかった。

もし機会があれば、皆さんも必ず見に行こうよ～♪

Preceptorship report

Well, I did mentioned previously that I had intended to complete my preceptorship report on Sun, but I had procrastinated again. (ya, ya, ya) At least I did finish the report today, which is still in time since I initially plan to go back down to school tomorrow to hand in the report.

After which in the evening, it's off to the movies and dinner with my friends. Haha~ Sounds like a good day ahead for me!

明日にいいことがある。友達と一緒に映画を見に行く。予定の映画は少林少女。どんな映画かな？PVではコメディーだけど、実に見る前にはわからない、かも知れない（うそつき）。

それでは、明日を楽しみにしてだぜ！

Over 500 hits!

Yes! My page has registered over 500 hits^^

Thanks to everyone that had made this possible by visiting this site^^

やった！カウントが５００以上なった！おめでとう、私！

それに、皆さんの協力もありがとう～♪

皆さんがないとできないだから。これからもよろしくね～♪

MUD (Multi-user domain)

So... I've began mudding again. Don't ask me why, cause I don't know the reason either. Somehow, the lure of playing a vampire character and other selections just drew me back to a mud that I had played many (I mean really many) years ago.

It's not like I just idle away there and pop on sometimes, but I actually spend time in front of the monitor messing around with my character =.= Oh well, so long as I don't get too engrossed and forget about my other work^^

あらあら。六月が残り１週間だね。つまり、もうすぐまたメロを世代交代しよう！今回は必ず海に住んでるに変える！

実は書きたいことや話したいことがあまりないね。やっぱり毎日ブログを書くはやりすぎかもしれない。まぁ、考えもしかったない。決まったことはそのように～♪

Slacking...

Holidays are finally here, and what have I done? Absolutely nothing, other than playing games and sleeping... Sounds real bad. Ahaha =P

Guess I'll finish up the stuff that I have to do for my preceptorship report tomorrow then play some more. Haha, holidays are nice~

あぁ、のんびりする日常って最高！今日は寝ると遊ぶしかぜんぜんほかのことをしない。でも長いときその風にするはやっぱりよくないじゃない。安心しなさい、最初はそうけど、いつかほかのことをするつもり～♪

えへへ、明日は体験学習のレポートを書く予定。それでは～

It's Over!!

At last, my 6 weeks of preceptorship has ended. Unlike last year where there was a rather large scale debriefing, this time round, the only thing we did today was to have a little feedback session. Oh well, not like I have much to say anyways.

We bought cards, wrote messages, and also got some chocolates for the various departments we went to and also for the chief person in-charge of our attachment.

After work. 8 out of 10 of us had dinner together at a coffeeshop nearby. The final bill was rather appalling though - $129.60. Must be the crabs ~.~

7 more weeks of holidays before the new term starts. Not a lot of time, but not short either. Gotta plan how to spend this last period of holidays carefully.

Oh ya! I'm planning a little movie outing the coming Wed. Too bad only 3 other people are interested too... >x<

やった！やっと終わった、体験学習。長かったね。

休みがまだ７週間残り。ではでは！よく考えて、この最後の休みを大事しなきゃ～♪

Countdown - Second last day

At long last, just one more day left and it all ends!!

I got my preceptor to complete my evaluation today and also got her to sign all of my attendance time sheets. Which means the only things that I have left to finish up is my evaluation of my preceptor and the programme, and to also write the 3 special situations and to tie up loose ends on the prescriptions.

I also gave my preceptor a little gift today - a rabbit soft toy. She seemed rather surprised and pleased to receive it, so I guess it's all good ^^

Yes!!

明日で最後だ！やった！うれしすぎるので、ぜんぜん落ち着かないな～♪

ではでは、残り少ないの休みは何をしようかなっては考えなければならない。でも、そんなことはそのうちだね！今日はゆっくり休んだほうがいい～♪

最後の日、後もう少し！

Wound management and of course, Countdown - Third last day

What is the reason for today's title? Well, it because I followed the wound management team around today to look at what they do.

Basically, they go around the hospitals and inspect and manage the wounds of patients that had been referred to them. Some of those cases are really bad, with wounds that are almost disgusting and horrible. It also seems that majority of these patients are diabetic and bedridden. Little wonder about that though.

I'm also trying to organise a little outing for my CCA friends. Let's see if it'll get off. Basically about watching a movie, and perhaps, singing some songs over at a karaoke.

もうすぐ最後の日。まぁ、今は残りの少ない日をたっぷり楽しむ。

それより、メロパーにはまた新しい着せ替えものを出るよ！えへへ、あまりきれいじゃないけど。。。新しいものがあるなら、心もうれしいだろう？それでは、遊びに来てね～♪

Countdown - Fourth last day

3 more days left to go.

And the mistakes that I've been making just seem to keep going up and up...

I got the wrong item twice today, both due to the similarities between the wrong and the correct item. Gotta clear my mind and do something about this error rate =.=

Also got a chance to observe and do some dispensing myself too. And there's also the wound rounds tomorrow. Ehehe, still something left to do before the end of all this.

まだ言ってないけど、今はマナケミア２を遊んでる。以前のマナケミアとちょっと違うことがあるけど、大体は同じ感じ。まぁ、そんなことも仕方ない。だってさ、同じGUSTのゲームなので、しかも同じシリーズ。

まだ遊んでないゲームがたくさんあるから、この最後の最後の休みはちゃんとしないと！

Countdown - Fifth last day

Starting from today, we can pack the scripts individually and also sign for them. That is a huge improvement, and I feel that the job is getting a tad more tolerable as we don't have to run around asking people to help us sign. Though it is likely that I'll never get used to such a job of this nature though.

This is the last week, and just as the title says, this is the fifth last day, which means that only 4 days left!

いつもがんばった。ようやく５週間を越した。えへへ、なんか嬉しい～♪

後４日で、また自由に！でも、もう時間がないだ。これも最後の休みかもしれない。だから。。。

Father's Day

Well, so today is Father's Day. What did all of you did for your father?

Personally, I didn't do anything special for my father. In fact, I didn't even wish him happy father's day until just now during dinner =.=

Oh well, I was never one to pay much attention to such events though. I used to give them more credit back when I was younger, but now, it doesn't really matter to me.

今日は父の日。皆さん、お父さんに何をした？私の場合はね、何もしなかった。悪い子だよね、私ってば。

まぁ、いいでしょ。あまり気にしないほうがいい。だってさ、こんなことは心の中にのほうがいいだろう。

では、今回はその辺で。

To the Zoo

Well, as I've said yesterday, I went down to the Zoo today with my family. Our tickets were free, as it was part of the World Blood Donor's day event. I also got a chance to take a photo with the blood buddy, which is essentially just a costume of a big teardrop of blood.

To be honest, the zoo is rather boring for me, though some of the animals, like the monkeys and the rhinos were rather amusing at times with their antics. Oh well, sometimes taking a little walk outside isn't too bad either.

今日、動物園へ行った。素直に言えば、今の年には動物園はあまり楽しくなくて、面白くない。つまらないかもしれない。ある動物はちょっと面白いけど、大体はそんなことない。まぁ、いいけど。ある時はそんなのんびりお散歩することが必要だね。

あと一週間。もうすぐだぞ～♪

New speakers and a lot of pain

Finally managed to set up my new speakers yesterday night at around 1am. Now my new computer also have a complete speaker system!^^

Oh, and about the pain part, after standing during work for the entire week for almost 8h everyday, my leg is finally giving way, along with the whole of my body. Aching everywhere... Going to the zoo tomorrow too... Wonder if I can still walk that long >.<

痛い！痛い！体がそう言った。まぁ、仕事から仕方ないけど、長いときそんな風になるなら、やっぱり体によくないな。。。

あと一週間、いいえ！あと５日で体験学習が終わる！それで少し自由になるかもね。えへへ、なんか期待してる。

それより、メロッメロン・改が醜くなる。。。どうして？泣きそうなようだね。。。早く世代交代したいな。それで今回のメロと別れ、新たなメロを育む。

PC Show

Today is the first day of PC Show. After work and having dinner at home, me and my brother left at around 7:15pm and headed towards Suntec City to meet my mother and walk around the exhibition halls. I also met my classmate there, who happened to be accompanying a friend to the show. What a coincidence~

In the end, this little trip was quite fruitful. Me and my brother managed to get new speakers from the show, and I also managed to get an external HDD enclosure for my old HDD in my dead computer. Let's get to work in setting things up!

昨夜、ひとついいことがあったね。それは何？えへへ、両親がドリアンを買って帰った！すごかった打ね、だって、私がドリアンが好き。こんなつまらない日常にもいいことがあったね。驚いた～☆

今日もいいことがあった。PCショーで新しいスピーカーを買った。私の新たなコンピューターがようやく音ができる～♪えへへ、なんか嬉しい～

それじゃ、またね！

Pack, pack, pack, and pack some more...

Today's title pretty much describes my work in my current department. Yep, pretty much just packing, packing, and some more packing. Real boring work IMO, and there isn't anything much to it too. Haiz...

Don't really have much more to say... well, actually I do, but it won't be too nice, so... Maybe when all this is about to end.

またつまらない一日が終わった。もうたまらない。早く終わるとしたいな。。。

えっと、最近の書き込めがどんどんつまらなくなるの気がする。でも、しかったないじゃ！日常がつまらないから、私のせいじゃない！とりあえず、そのようにしてゆく。

What is the meaning of this?

Wah! Today was really hectic!! We had to get help from the discharge pharmacy, including our students that are currently attached over there. For several moments, the 7 of us, all students, were the only ones working behind the counter packing and preparing the medications. What will they have done if we were not there??

信じられない。働くところの人々は体験学習の学生を全然頼むって、何なのよ、それ？ふざけるな！

全然だめじゃ、そんなんじゃ。まぁ、でも私たちのできなければならないことも変わらないし、あと８日から、今は何とかしよ。

First day of the 2nd last week

Today marks the beginning of the 2nd last week. Just 9 more days left and the preceptorship is over.

Outpatient pharmacy isn't as bad as what I originally thought, but the work is indeed rather mundane and repetitive and choresome. 10 days of the same thing could probably kill me due to the sheer boredom. Oh well, at least the people there are still rather friendly.

I also managed to get my preceptor to sign my drug information writeup today, which means that I only have the evaluation and some miscellaneous stuff left to complete. Wee! Almost the end! (though not quite yet...)

あらあら！カウントが４００以上になった！カウンターの上の者がまた変わった！ありがとう、みなさん！あなたたちがいないと不可能のことだから～♪

そういえば、メロが白になった。灰色の部屋に住んででちょっと似合わないかもね。。。白ってやっぱり黒のほうがいいじゃない？えへへ、ならばそうしようかな～☆

体験学習も最終回へ進んでるね。それって、苦しいかな？それとも楽しい？もう、訳わからないな～

Yet another week over

Quite a weekend I had. Pretty much no work done at all. I've been slacking and playing for the entire weekend. Still have work and assignments and readings left to do, but I'm just too "sian" to do them.

Ya, I know that that's unbecoming of me, but still... Oh well, what's done is done.

昨日、友達の薦めるで日本語の映画を見た。その映画は「タイヨウのうた」。

この話はひとつ女の子の物語。これはWikipediaからの要説：
海辺の町に暮らす雨音薫は太陽の光にあたれないXP（色素性乾皮症）という病気を抱えている。そのために月が出ると活動をはじめ、日の光が出ている間に眠ると言う通常の人々とは逆の生活を送っていた。 それでも彼女は自分を支えてくれる家族、親友の暖かい絆に支えられ、毎日を楽しく生きていた。 そして、何よりも「音楽」という大切な宝物を持ち、歌う事に生きがいを感じていた。 そんなある日、彼女がいつもの公園でストリートライブをしていると、いつも彼女が家の窓から見ていた一人の少年が偶然にも通りかかる。少年の名は藤代孝治。孝治との出会いで彼女の運命は大きく変わっていく。
もっと知りたいなら、ここへ行け。

A good rest

Finally had a chance to have enough sleep. Getting to rest during the weekend sure is great!

Went out to had lunch at Sunshine Plaza today. At a place called Victor's Kitchen or something, and had a nice dimsum-type lunch.

Hehe, weekend is the time to play, have fun, and relax! Time to recharge for the last two weeks of my preceptorship!

ああぁぁ、やっぱり週末って最高！遅くまで寝てるも大丈夫～♪

週末でよく寝てて、来週をもっと元気になるな！

ではでは、今はたっぷり遊んで、休んで！

2/3 done, just a bit more left

Today marks the end of my attachment over at the drug information service. Starting from next week till the end of the preceptorship, I'll be over at the outpatient pharmacy, which reputedly is the most hectic and chaotic (and others) place. Can't really say that I'm looking forward to it, but it's almost the end, so let's just brave it through.

Something interesting happened today too. In the afternoon, we got a request to help identify a tablet. It was a white, oval, scored tablet with the 3 numbers 250 imprinted on one side. So what's so interesting about this? The interesting part is that we can't find the identity of this tablet even after searching through various resources and references. Even looking up the medication history of the patient didn't help out. In the end, by checking with the drug information service of the hospital that supposedly dispensed the tablet, we found out that it is likely that it is a generic drug that is a combination of 3 antiviral drugs - zidovudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine.

Well, that might be going into the special situations log. See how first^^

あらあら。体験学習からもう四週間だ。つまり、一ヶ月が流れた。楽しいでも、苦しいでも、あと二週間ですべてが終わりだ。

正直今までの体験は本当に楽しかった。でも、来週からの働くところがあまり楽しくないと聞いた。辛いかもしれない。

まぁ、もうすぐ終わるから、最後までがんばっちゃうぞ！あと二週間！

1 more day till the end of the week

Another day in the drug information service and one more day left in this department before we get transferred to the last department.

So what did I do today? Me and my friend did the drug information questions separately today and then discussed some of the things that we found interesting while researching for the questions. I also managed to get my preceptor to sign for my case review! Only the drug information writeup and the evaluation left to do!

The next time I'm meeting my preceptor is on Mon, which means... it's time to take a little break and relax for now^^ Let's leave it till the weekend to complete all the rest of the paperwork~

他人がよく言ったね、「メロッメロン・改が飛んだ！」とか。えへへ、成長した、蝙蝠になったもおもしろいじゃない～♪

でも、やっぱり海に住んでるメロになるの方がもっといいかもしれない。だって、それは私の望みことだもん。

とりあえず、できることなら精一杯する！がんばっちゃうぞ～♪

謎の声：もう訳わからないな、彼の言うこと。

Drug Information Service

Today, me and my friend were transferred over to another department, the drug information service. The basic job scope is to listen to enquiries from various people, from the hospital, the public, etc, and help them answer their drug related enquiries by looking up information from various resources and references.

We also had a chance to try out various drug information requests that were answered in the past. Some of them were really interesting, and some of them are really tough for us currently. Guess we'll have to change our way of thinking and way of searching up drug information before we can handle some of those questions effectively.

Another 2 days left in this department. Got to try out as many questions as we can, and to also finish up my little assignment on the drug information for Sitaglipin.

もう話すことがない、かも知れない。仕事や宿題が全然終わらない。。。もういやだ！このままじゃしたいことが全然できなかった。

何かいい方法がない？もっと考えないと。。。もう！難しい。。。そうだ！遊んでから、宿題をするはどう？えへへ、それもいい考えかも～♪

ではでは～またね！
