So wad am I so busy about?  Well, I'm currently in my 4th year (can't believe it!!) and still taking full load of modules for this semester... so I am kinda going kinda crazy right now...

I am suppose to continue with my driving practical lessons, but I always collapse with exhaustion during the weekends...  so.... ehehehe..

I wanna hall!!!!!!!!!

I need a hall!!!!!!!!!

Cus trying to do 4th year with full load of modules, plus FYP, plus travelling for 3hrs to and fro between home and schl, equals: I'm probably gonna collapse during the semester break... sigh....

And for some reason, my lingering cough from 1.5 month ago have to gone away... due to the reason that one day on my way to schl, a tree fell across the road, so no bus could enter or exit the university.  So all passengers have to get off and walk... which is not much of a problem except that it was pouring outside, and the roads were flooded and my pants was soaked up to my thighs...  So me and my friend ended up 1 hour late for my FYP class (luckily my notified the prof beforehand) and I had to sit in the aircon studio with my wet clothes and eat my already ice cold lunch while presenting my work to the prof....  -_-lll

Sigh... I need a hall... and so far I cant find anyone to let my squat in there room.... sigh.... really need to stay in hall...

Distant Worlds - music from Final Fantasy

I have to say that it was simply a performance worth watching if one knows about Final Fantasy or its music written by Nobuo Uematsu.  It was really a heart-grabbing thing to be able to hear the music up close and personal in the concert hall itself...  To hear his music in a proper concert hall is very much different than hearing it through the speakers in one's home.  Even with the best stereo system, one would still be awed with the sound effects of a proper concert hall...

Nobuo Uematsu himself was at the concert, which resulted in a very enthusiastic crowd with a very warming response.  Although there were some small minor things here and there which interrupted the concert, it was a good performance overall...  However, I would really love to hear the same concert again, this time with The Black Mages or with a bigger and better orchestra, such as the Philharmonic Orchestra, and with a younger female vocal soloist.  I would say that the concert with either of these above would probably be a hundred times even more astounding then what I heard last night.

There was also a autograpth session with Nobuo Uematsu himself, as well as the conductor Arnie Roth, which made the audiences really happy.  Of course, me, Pea and her friend went to queue up for their autographs.  And we got them to signed on our CDs that we bought earlier before the performance.  The concert was hosted by the conductor himself, and was really amusing.  The final encore which was the famous song One-Winged Angel ended the finale with a big bang after the conductor teased the audiences about not doing that number...  :)

Man... I seriously can't stop hearing the CD tracks after such a heart-rendering performance like that....  I can't wait till they return for the next concert, which would probably be the end of this year, if what they said is true.  And the next time round, they would be performing hot favourites such as Jenova and Dancing Mad....  ^^v

So I shall enjoy myself for now...

Oh and I found out that the whole soundtrack for season 3 was sung by only 1 singer...  So damn cool lah...  Imagine you having the whole season of anime soundtrack rights to yourself!!!  ^^v  Wai~~~

Aniwae, the singer is called 吉田旬吾 (Yoshida Jungo). Oh, and the funny thing is I preferred the Interlude song better than the Opening and Ending song... Mwahahaha... Here's the lyrics... I could only find the Japanese version... so for people who can't read Japanese... really sorry...

大切なもの - 吉田旬吾

気が付けばほら　喜びもわけあえる
無理しなくていいんだ　今僕は独りじゃないから

少しずつ変わり出した　信じ合える絆にむかって

挫けそうになる日も　君がいて
震える手を　力に変えるんだ
当たり前の時間を　一秒でも
君と超えて行きたい

気がつけばまだ　じゃがみこむ古傷に
呑み込まれそうになる時は　君を思うよ

少しだけ進めたかな　許し合える　強さに向かって

挫けそうになる日も　君がいて
乗り越えよう　素直に思うんだ
ありきたりな事しが　出来ないけど
いつも支え合いたい

しまい込んだ　希望　勇気　愛情　全てが
君と出逢って　少しずつ輝く世界

君がいれば何度も　立ち上がろう
震える手も　力に変わるんだ
当たり前の時を　一秒でも
君と共に

挫けそうになる日も　君がいて
乗り越えよう　肩を叩く君に
ありきたりな事しか　言えないけど
いつも届け　ありがとう

Man I really love this song!!  ^^v  I can understand what the song means, and I find it really meaningful... But I really hope to find the english translation so that I can fully understand what the lyrics mean...

Let me tell you something... If you are in Art school or doing animation, you bloody hell have to keep all your work neat and tidy in proper folders in your harddisk...

Doing the showreel made me seriously think I should do everything step by step and keep everything properly... I had such a hard time finding this and that because I didn't know that when I first entered animation major... Hence for the past 2 nights I haven't slpt a week, and I doubt I got the time to sleep tonight as well...  Like Bixia said, I trying to be an immortal!! (sacarsms intended)

Oh... and do I need to say that writing a cover letter is a pain in the neck... Well at least for me who never written one in my entire life.  And uploading showreels are bloody irritating, cus the uploading keep stopping at very irritating places like 99% uploaded, or 3 secs left!!!

Oh btw, the lack of sleep for the past few days is not only due to this... Also because I got a stupid presentation next monday, Japanese Oral and Listening Exam next week, FYP preproduction due in mid-April, 4 Rigging assignments due in mid-April, a stupid video to do and upload on youtube by dunno when, and 3 exams coming up before mid-April....

-_-lll If anyone says that its chicken feet to do all that within the next 20 days, I would be delighted to ask that person to come and do all of my work, and hope that the person dies of exhausation and starvation...

Bad would be the Black Week, which was the week after the Mid-term break (23 Feb onwards).  Well, since I don't like to talk about it, we shall leave this topic to venture into other topics...

Aniwae the next week, NTU seemed to suddenly entered Spring in Full Bloom, almost all the trees that have flowers, went into full bloom!!  The trees were totally pink and white with the flowers....

And then the week after, suddenly we have a Japanese sakura tree-like roads where its full of falling pink and white flowers... Haha...

Oh.. and during these few weeks, me and Pea saw a double rainbow... Haha... erms... cus I took it with my camera phone through the bus' window, so its not very clear...  You might want to click on the photos to have a larger view...

Hmm...  that's about all the big events I think...

OH!!  And I jus had my birthday this week!!  Yay!!!  Mwahaha!!!  Btw I love all the presents that you guys gave me!!  Just to list wad I received: Ang Baos (a lot of them cus adults don't give presents), Bead Craft books, Piere Cardin Leather Wallet, Rabbit Handphone pouch and keychain, really cool chair beads earrings, black and white mokona keychain plushies, cool looking t-shirts, kinokuniya membership card... etc...  haha...

Muacks to all you guys out there who gave me such lovely gifts and my birthday well-wishers!!  <3 <3 <3  I really enjoyed my birthday this year despite the fact that I have class on that day...  Well... dan chan kinda made the whole class and my sensei very happy when he came to my Jap class before lesson to give me my present...  cus he was so comical....

Moon Crying - 倖田來未

君とよく歩いた
いつもの道と私
月と歩きながら
悲しいメロディー

あんな颜をさせるつもりじゃなかったの
ただ「好き」なだけなのに
君を悲しませてしまった
あの日の涙

逢いたい気持ちは
どんなに伝えても　伝えきれない
溢れ出した言叶が届くなら
君を想い　歌いたいよ

逢いたい気持ちは
どんなに伝えても　伝えきれない
また今夜も思ったことひとつ
今も君を爱してると…

逢えばわがままばかり
ときどき言い过ぎたときも
笑って許した
大人な君で

孤独に思った君に
「気付くことが出来た」なら
「そっと手、差しのべられた」なら
「ぬくもり」も「これから」も
「ふたりで…」だった？

逢いたい気持ちは
どんなに伝えても　伝えきれない
溢れ出したまた言叶が届くなら
君を想い　歌いたいよ

あの日に戻れるのならば
これ以上何もいらない
また今夜も思ったことひとつ
今も君を爱してると…

言叶に出来ない想いを
この歌で今伝えたい
溢れ出した気持ちが届くなら
君を想い歌いたいよ

今夜も大空を見上げ
月が照らすその場所へと `
大切な人と共に歩きたい
ずっと　ずっと　側に居たい


繋いだ手を離さないで

愛してる by 高鈴

ね、もう少しだけ
もう少しだけ
聞いて言いて欲しい

ね、もう少しだけ
もう少しだけ
我侭いいですか 

手に入れた途端に
消えてしまいそう
言葉をくれませんか 

* 愛している
愛している
世界が終わるまで
馬鹿げてると
笑いながら
口に出してみて
 愛している
そんなことか
簡単にわできなくて
うまく愛せる
ようにと
あの空に祈っている

ね、知りたくても
知り尽くせない
言葉馬鹿りで

だからひとつにならない
ふたつの体を
精一杯抱きしめた

あなたがいる
それだけでも
世界が変わってしまおう
モノトンの
景色がほら
鮮やかに映る

何時の間にか
離れていた
手をつないで歩いてく
上手く愛せているかな
あの空に聞いて見るの

何時か離れ離れになる
日が来ても
あなた思った
日日が在れば
それでいい

何時か離れた意味をしる
日が来るよ
約束するかな
明日へ 

Repeat *
あの空に祈っている

Such a mentally intense game... and a little physical intense as well...

You probably be thinking "Mentally intense? Probably... Physical Intense? Huh?!!!"

Well... what actually happen was that every roll of the stupid dices ended with 1 unit dying on each side... and each side have at least 10 to 20 units....  That really sucks, cus it ends up with the whole battle taking more than 5 mins and at least 10 to 20 times of rolling the stupid dices...

Then this repeats again when its the next person's turn... and I did it for 3 turns consecutively...

Rolling about 40 to 60 times of the dices continuously is quite physically tiring actually...

And white colour thingys are very scary.... and they look like white ants infestation...  -_-lll

Whoever is reading this entry and can't understand what I'm saying... its ok... cus I don't really plan on explaining the situation at the time word for word... As long as I can understand what I am writing then its fine....

Sometimes ignorance is a bliss..  :)

Well... I was thinking about it, and was thinking would they be able to track me online to this blog?  Cus I haven't exactly use my real name and I'm not sure if I actually linked this blog to something that can track down to me....  But then again, internet search engines are really powerful sometimes....

Well... I guess if they have my personal email address or my msn nick, its not impossible to track down to this blog... haha...

Hmm... Oh well... its not like I have really done anything here on this blog other than typing in entries when I have the mood... and its not like I really uploaded a lot of photos either...  Haha... prob when they see this blog they would be like "Hey does this person have a hobby at all? Cus I don't see any photos on it..." haha... Well.. I guess for them to know me, they would have to read through all my entries... and I doubt they can finish it within a day... Haha...

Oh well.... Just a whimsical thought of mine....
