how long does it take to tick two names?? we already paid already too okays. you expect me to seat there until you finish collecting money and ticked the names of ALL the J1s before you tick my name and i can finally leave??
hello? ever heard of efficiency? i have paid like since 2 weeks ago, and i only need you to tick my name so i can leave after i completed my responsibility to inform you that i've collected my shirt.
and what do i get in return?
*sits down beside XXX* "hey XXX, we've paid and can you just tick our names so and i can leave already?" ".... " *looks around* "... excuse me?" "hey YYY can you come sit beside me and take care of the money? cuz nobody's watching it so..." "....." (i happen to be sitting beside XXX and right in front of the money)
okay so what now. i sat there for so long just to want to kindly inform you that i've gotten my shirt so that there will be no complications in future. but you simply just REFUSE to tick my name despite me asking so many times. and then i also get this 'i-don't-trust-you' treatment in return.
fed up. i just told one of them that i've collected our shirts. then i left.
and what happened after that?
deborah collected her shirt because she thought i haven't collected it. you asking me why? ... because our names weren't ticked.
see!! i knew that this would happen okay. i stayed there and told you so many times that i've collected our shirts and can you just tick our names. but you didn't and so things become more troublesome and deborah had to go back just to return the shirt to you.
i mean, i'm not trying to be petty. but first you refused to tick my name. then you showed your 'lack of trust' in my integrity. then you caused my friend inconvenience. and you think i've all the time in the world? to seat there and wait till all the J1s have paid and signed? do you know how long that would take? and how messy it was? to do that when i can just leave after taking merely 2 seconds of your precious time?
pissed.

'destressing' after the exams.
currently listening to: SCANDAL (Chinese) [KangTa & Vaness]
*wipes away sweat*
exams are finalleeeee over.
i'm so gonna screw my literature. i already knew that since the PC paper yesterday. paper 1 today sort of confirmed my thoughts. i don't think i can even get an AO pass lah. i gave such superficial arguments that i can't even force myself to recap. bleahhh.
and i'm going to get another mediocre grade for history. hopefully still a C, but the D grade does seems more fitting. *sigh*
okay i'm not gonna wallow in despair yet until the results are out. leaving the self-reproaching part to a few more days later. erm, hopefully not tomorrow lah hor.
i think i should start making some firm resolutions already. there's a need to fine-tune my life. since it's kind of getting out of hand from my point of view. especially when there's only 5 more months to THE 'A' exam.
things like... ` dutifully reading the newspapers everyday hopefully and TIME every week. ` working on at least 2 essays per week. ` finalising and coming to terms with my arguments for history. ` seriously start working on CLA. ` stop seating in front of the TV and snack my time away. ` stop being immune to the 3 alarm clocks ringing every morning. ` talking less and doing more. ` never stop working and mugging. ` modify and reduce my 12-hour sleep routine. ` restricting my time on the computer. ` stop being so ridiculously nervous when macey's around. ` WATCH KING & THE CLOWN ASAP. ` et cetera.
can't think anymore.
oh goody i think mise*sclusive moved to cineleisure!! guess where my most frequent hangout will be now. *muahahahas*

currently listening to: Fate [King & the Clown OST]
i am so obsessed with the 'King & the Clown' lah! i so wanna watch it i so wanna watch it. *chants*
okay first i have to clarify some stuff:
- it's not just because there's this super bishonen inside. though i have to admit that he is a very appealing factor, the fact that he's korean already turns me off.
- but although i don't have a thing for the actor, i have a thing for the character. *wahahaaha* maybe cuz he resembles okita-sama.
- the storyline seems amazing. i am really so attracted by the plot. it seems to be so engaging at every scene lar.
- the setting is fabulous. how long has it been since a truly oriental movie came out? i'm an oriental-buff okay.
- the song is very very nice. i was so touched when i first heard it. oriental sumore.
- i am anti-korean. so when i actually want to watch this korean movie it means that it has to be really good.
- it's so popular than 1 in every 3 koreans have seen it. even the south korean president watched it okayy!
- it's gay... erm. it's not explicitly gay. it's gay in a sweet and meaningful way so i think i can still take it.
- it's a tragedy. but i think that's what makes the movie so impactful.
ahhh~~~~~ i so wanna watch!!!

sleep is bad for mugging.
currently listening to: The News [On Television]
i can't do it anymore!!! *tears out hair*
i think i shouldwill just do badly for the CTs. it's too late to study everything. i've barely touched literature, and i've not completed history. my brains are overworked and i'll puke if i read another word more. does this spell doom or what.
okay i think i should stop saying this. nobody will believe me anyway. i'm sure.
anyway, i was browsing through the mag just now. this lee junki guy is sooo feminine in the 'King & the Clown' lar! but somehow very weirdly he reminds me of okita-sama. i know the movie is korean and it's gay and i'm suppose to detest it. but i'm expressing interest in its storyline and popularity so...
it better be good. (ie. i wanna watch!!!!!)
gosh this is so bad. mugging is warping my rationality.
currently listening to: Daite Senorita [Yamashita Tomohisa]
this song is starting to get into me.
i've been pangseh-ed again. sheesh. i shouldn't care anymore lar.
so.
i'm rotting at home and stuffing myself with food while trying to mug and watch tv and surf the net at the same time then end up panicking at the end of the day because nothing much has been absorbed and i am still at the same thing after staring at it for 2 whole hours.
nothing has been done. literally nothing. i only managed to produce two pages of crap. and i'm not thinking at all. i'm not using my brains at all. cuz i keep wanting to do something else.
HAIII. *long sigh*
i realised that my house is very distracting. i should just get myself out of the house and start mugging somewhere else.
maybe macdonald's. but i'll surely stuff myself with fries. maybe starbucks. but i don't drink coffee. or tea. maybe the library. but i think i'll end up reading novels. maybe someone else's house. but i'll end up fooling around. maybe kinokuniya. but i have to spend a bomb on the food. maybe at my mum's office. but i think i'll get in their way. maybe the school library. but i'm sure thousands of tpjcians will fill it up.
WHERE?!?!?!?! WHERE TO STUDY?!?!?!?! WHERE FOR CONDUCIVE STUDYING?!?!?!?
i think.
it's all just my mentality. i mean, one can study anywhere as long as one is determined to. at least i know that's for my case definitely.
which means i have no determination for studies larr.
still i seriously think i have to try studying elsewhere. ... but where???
i wanna cry~ i wanna cry~ lalalalala~~

i can't mug.
currently listening to: Chu le Ai Ni Hai Neng Ai Shui [Power Station]
HAIII. the whole world is pangseh-ing me. i call this retribution.
or maybe it's heaven's way of trying to keep me at home so i'd mug. since i have only just started on literature. and managed to only conquer 5 very brief essay outlines in 2 whole days. like how efficient is that?
i seriously think that literature is not my field of interest. i mean, yeah it's interesting in some ways. but i can't do it for more than an hour. i'd just... feel like ZzzzZZZzz. but i would try my best not to sleep since i know that i'll never wake up. so i'll resort to eating, and eating, and more eating...
and now i have larger chunks of fat hanging on my body, and a hundred thousand annoying pimples surfacing on my black black face.
anyway.
i was happily boarding this bus on my way to tropica for a study day with regina (even though i was already late) last monday. like always, i took out my ezlink card and tapped on the sensor, then walked on to the back of the bus when i suddenly heard someone calling 'oi, girl.' in the typical singaporean (aka rude) manner. so it turned out to be the balding bus uncle who demanded to look at my ezlink card. *he scutinizes my card*
"you study at what?" "JC. -__-"" "which JC?" "tampines junior college." "... Poly cannot use this card." "but i'm not from a poly." *raises eyebrow*
*he reaches over to check entry* *looks at me weirdly*
"poly cannot use this card ar." "but i'm not from a poly."
*hands card over to me* "... poly cannot use this card ar." "... but i'm not even from a poly!"
and then the ENTIRE BUS was staring at me because apparently the over-suspicious uncle had stopped the bus just to check on my card.
what the toots?! did i look like a poly student? that's so wrong. people at Macs ask me if i wanted the Kids' Meal okayy. plus i kinda have a face with the word "JC" stamped on it. (at least that's what everyone says.)
and does a poly student: 1) wear worn out shorts and a crumpled shirt to school. 2) lug files and textbooks and this super huge bag to school. 3) have unkempt hair that obviously show signs of anxiety at failed attempts to mug. 4) be looking so nerdy when the poly exams are over???
i was so so so angry alrights! and not even a sorry from that rude uncle. he must have realised that i'm really a JC student. i mean, the card proves it all okayy. so instead of him getting malu-ed, he made me out to be the congirl who wanted to cheat SBS of their few cents.
worse still. the people on the bus might REALLY have thought that way. cuz there were so many reasons to justify it: 1) i was travelling the route to Temasek Polytechnic. 2) i got off at the stop just before Temasek Polytechnic. 3) i didn't defend myself more aggressively at the accusation. 4) i had this red red face when i was waiting to get off the bus.
i was imagining all sort of things i should have done to him on the bus. like...: 1) railing at him and demanding a public apology. 2) taking down the bus number and calling SBS on the spot to complain. 3) hitting him on the head with my big, heavy literature file (gladly). 4) screaming and wailing that he was bullying me. 5) ... ran out of ideas.
"poly cannot use this card ar."
... feel like punching his face.

i'm an idiot. i'm a incorrigible sloth. i should be dragged to the execution ground to be beheaded.
currently listening to: 遇到 [恶作剧之吻]
i had a literature consultation at 9.30am today. but i woke up at 5.15pm today.
i'm an idiot. stupid incorrigible sloth. good-for-nothing slacker. i should just jump off the building and die. i'm the laziest most irresponsible person alive on this earth. i'm worthless cuz i love to sleep sleep sleep and sleep my life away. i should just continue sleeping and never wake up. i should just fail my a levels and be a failure for the rest of my life. i'm beyond cure. i'm just a idiotic sloth with zero perserverance and sense of responsibility. i should just be condemned for the rest of my life.
WHAT IS HELL IS WRONG WITH ME.
i skipped the most important consultation that i'll ever have. i left huichun all alone for the consultation while i slept like a disgusting pig. i told the whole world to wake me up but they couldn't wake me up. I AM DAMN ANGRY WITH MY OWN STUPID SELF.
the thing is that i have nobody else to blame for this except me and ME MYSELF. so what if i had been exhausted yesterday? i had already taken a 3-hour nap in the afternoon yesterday and i still woke up at 5.15pm today? what the hell is wrong with me? i can't blame the camp. i can't blame my lack of sleep. i can't blame anyone for not wakimg me up because they tried but i just didn't wake up.
i was sleeping like a stupid idiotic good-for-nothing pig.
i set the alarm, but somehow it was turned off when i woke up at 5.15pm, and i have a feeling that i was the one who did it though i had no impression of it at all. my aunt called me up twice and according to her, i answered her calls but i have no impression of it at all. my grandmother tried me wake up me several times but i was sleeping like a dead corpse and completely have no recollection of anyone trying to wake me up.
why didn't i just die in my sleep.
what the hell is wrong with me.
now i missed the most important consultation that i'll ever have. i'll never know what's wrong with my literature standards, or how to improve it, or how to ever at least secure a D for it. i'll never know where my weaknesses are, i'll never know how to correct them and i'll never never never never ever to able to answer to myself again.
and the worse thing is i left huichun alone to go for the consultation. jingfang was at home cuz she sprained her ankle. huichun called me 4 times but i had switched off my handphone. and now i have this feeling that she is super super angry with me for pangseh-ing her because I MYSELF would be been furious if anyone did that to me. and i didn't give her an explanation all the way until it was 5.15pm. imagine how she would have felt between the period?? how can anyone not be angry? i have just abandoned my good friend for consulation without giving her any explanation then. and what was my eventual apology for the pangseh-ing?? I OVERSLEPT. I TOOTS OVERSLEPT TILL 5.15pm IN THE EVENING. CONSULTATION HAPPENED 8 HOURS AGO.
I AM DISGUSTED WITH MYSELF. I AM DAMN ANGRY WITH MY OWN STUPID IRRESPONSIBLE SELF.
and to think i wanted to start the day nicely with me going for consulation then coming home to finally settle down and mug for the common tests. now i have completely no mood for mugging cuz i am just so damn angry with myself. and i will BET you that i'm not going to wake up tomorrow. or the day after tomorrow. or the day after the day after tomorrow. or the day after the day after the day after tomorrow. CUZ I LOVE TO SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP AND SLEEP MY LIFE AWAY. plus i haven't handed in the history SBQ that i did one week ago, which we are suppose to hand in tomorrow. i'm just an idiot. a stupid idiot that should never have been given the privilege to sleep.
I AM DISGUSTED WITH MYSELF. SO SO SO SO DIGUSTED.

recalling interact camp
currently listening to: 遇到 [恶作剧之吻] TIRED AH. plunked myself into bed the moment i got home.
oh yes and the PINK PANTHER TEAM WON!!!! guess who were the group leaders? guess?? guess??? *beams*
the camp was tiring even though i didn't stay overnight. the running around and rolling around was enough to kill. *recalls mission impossible 4*
we had this treasure hunt in tpjc that had us running from one end of the school to the other and back again then to the other again then back again... you get the idea. ehh, solving the location clues and running around is still okay, but the DIGGING IN THE SAND part was hell. i think pink panther solved all the location clues first, then we spent a very very long time trying to decipher the locker number and the code number to the locker [they gave us some sequence and series kinda math clues. lucky we had science people around lah]. we had all our permutations for the code number correct but somehow the lock didn't open. so huiyan decided to try all the possible combinations from 001 to 999 while all the other groups were waiting behind us, then... tara~~ it was unlocked!!! it was a code number that we had tried before too. something's wrong with the lock larr. anyways kudos to huiyan for her perseverance!!!
it was not over yet cuz we had to run to the long jump pit to get our final prize. we found this yellow scroll in the pit, and we thought we had accidentally stumbled onto Pikachu's clue (Yellow Group) so we frantically buried it back again then tried to look for our pink scroll (Pink Panther mah). we dug... and we dug... and we dug with our bare hands... the other groups finally caught up with us, dug with us, and gave up but we were still very very determined that the pink scroll must be around the pit somewhere (since the yellow scroll was there). so many times we wanted to just open up the yellow scroll just like that but the sense of honesty and erm, guilt (cuz we didn't tell the yellow group we found their clue-- stepped on it sumore.) prevented us from doing it. so we dug and dug and dug... until i cannot take it anymore so i just stood up and called the exco straight to confirm with them. then it turned out that that yellow piece of paper was the prize lahh!!! *curses* why the toots did they use the yellow paper?? misled us into digging for a whole 20 minutes like mad idiots under the hot sun only to find out that we had already found the prize 20 minutes ago. and what if we had been so honest as to give the yellow group that yellow scroll? we would have been giving away our prize lah!! grrr.
but ANYWAY, we won!! and got ice cream for dinner, but we ended up eating ice cream porridge cuz it was already half-melted when we opened it.
next was the night-walk. deborah and me were rolling here and there on the ground at the titanic. got so many tiny cuts because of the stones and sand on the ground. *sobx* what happened was that deborah and me were suppose to be stationed at the titanic and throw things down to scare the j1s who were walking to the female toilet(hall) underneath us. BUT the j1s were walking from the rock wall, across the track then to the hall, which means along the way they would have seen deborah and me on the titanic. so the only thing we could do was do hide behind the pillar and roll on the ground when the j1s reached the hall...
and so we rolled the whole night away.
i think we were trying to renact MI-4 or some jackie chan movie lar. hide behind pillar, lie on the ground, roll to the railings, throw the balls at the shutter, quickly roll out of sight then stay still in silence. ... and this we did for every single pair of j1s that came along. and some j1s were so bad they threw the balls back at us!!! hmphh. i bet some of them were scared. act only.
the main highlight of Day 2 was Shi Zi Lu Kou. some food game where you have to link the words up to lead the your next food. one food per ESTATE. 6 Stations in total. Little Angel included sumore.
The Pink Panther Route: TPJC: BREAD TPJC 7-11: DOUGHNUT PASIR RIS: TEA BEDOK: APPLE PIE SIMEI: EBIKO SUSHI SIMEI: ICE CREAM
heh. so we ran around the east side of singapore. waited sooo long for the Apple Pie-- i would say it was a miscalculation on our part. so we reached Simei East Point to meet our Little Angel-- who happens to be Shirlene, and she made us stand still in awkward poses individually all over the ground level of east point for one minute. i was standing in front of the lingerie counter lah! and my pose made me look like i was gonna touch my chest or something. counted 10 ppl stared and giggled. *sobx*
there goes my reputation.
but the worst was over after 1 minute, and we got our food and headed back to tpjc asap, and we were the first group to return!!! so happy!!! we thought we won so we were screaming and cheering away along the corridor... then some complications and misunderstandings cropped up and we were almost disqualified (eh, thanks to someone har, give wrong information). FORTUNATELY we ended up in 2nd place, but was still a little sad about our 1st place that was not meant to be.
next up, IU NITE!! i was a model for IU nite, modelling the Indian costume that was a little too big for me, and had this sleeveless vest that made me look like i was wearing pyjamas. fortunately there was a shawl to go with it *thanks god*. you should have seen deborah-- hers was some Thai costume that is so much more revealing. waika was modelling the male version of the Thai costume with her.
we were all so nervous when we were backstage waiting for our turn-- putting on makeup, walking here and there, taking photos, practising our steps etc. oh and putting on mascara is a torture, taking it off is even worse.
then came my turn! walked out to some Indian music, trying to balance myself on deborah's high-heel shoes (stilts to be exact) and giving this frozen smile that people like emu translated into 'so fierce' when i met them at the reception. *sobx* so many people told me that i was walking too fast, but there is an explanation!! i had to finish walking when siva finishes the narrative of the Indian costume, and my narrative happened to be very short so i had to walk faster to coordinate with it. then people told me the photographer couldn't take my photo at all cuz i was too fast and would turn and walk on when he tries to. aww, never mind. i'm not keen at all to appear on the tpjc newsletter anyway.
then everything was over!! we all had our 1 minute of fame and were busy taking photos at the reception. but my camera died. *sobx*
ehh.. today was slack day at camp. it was a rounding up of stuff. bought macs breakfast for the pink panthers with the leftover SZLK money. cleaned up the canteen (whereby deborah and me just slacked cuz we were told to monitor and spot potential leaders from the j1s' reactions during the cleaning-- *guilt*). then went to the auditorium and proudly receive our title as the champion team!!!
PINK PANTHERS GOGOGO!!! hugs to hafizah, huiyan, fish, emilyn, iyliana, kenneth, holly, jiehui, liyu!!! we were great, and you guys were even greater =)))
i'm extremely worn out right now. despite the sleep i had earlier. haven't gone about uploading the photos on photoshare. but i promise i'll do it soon!!! *sumpah*
sometimes i think i think too much. that's why i blog so much. i can just sit here for 2 hours and type non-stop. despite the fact that it's 2.30am and my eyes are falling out. haii~~ blogging seems like a waste of time. but i like to waste time. *shrugs*
having literature consultation with ms lam tomorrow. i've only spent 1 hour preparing for it??? that's not exactly gonna work out huh. argh, we'll see tomorrow.
need to turn in now before i just fall asleep in front of the computer.

currently listening to: 遇到 [恶作剧之吻]
i'm sorry. i just couldn't help myself.
when i came to the page so suddenly. when i saw the photo so suddenly. i just couldn't bring myself the leave the page. ... the things just came back to me.
it has been a year and a half. it has also been 6 long years. the memories, the effort, the pain. so many times i find myself just looking for him subconsciously. i guess i can't just forget so easily.
but it is definitely over now. i mean, there's nothing else i can do. or anything else that i would want to do either. i was tired of holding on aimlessly, and he just... forgot. because i never did anything, i never dared to. so now i'm completely erased from his mind.
i think i was too young. too stubborn.
but even now when things have changed. even now when i'm no longer holding on. i'm doing the same thing-- i'm not doing anything. so... does this mean that it'll always end up like that for me?
i wonder. if we happen to cross paths one day. will he still remember after 6 long years? what will i do? how will i react?
这么久了还是可以看到 感觉的到你对我的重要 不会被天黑天亮打扰 你每一次的温柔我都想炫耀
something tells me that i'll still not do anything. i'll just stand there and act as if nothing's wrong.
and then this will have no end.
i will forget this someday. i will forget this someday. *chants*

currently listening to: Say U Love Me [Lara & Jason]
>///<
恶作剧之吻~
i finally finished watching the series!!! *woots*
demo ne~ i hate it when a show ends lah. but i can't wait to finish it while i am watching it either. so... there's an irony here.
anyways the point is that it's a very very good show ne! it's in every way comparable to the japanese version. ...or maybe i might say it's even better.
in this taiwan version there were many details and many scenes that really brought out the interaction between naoki and kotoko. in the japanese version, the entire show was rather fast-paced, and i thought it was okay back then cuz i hadn't read the manga and didn't know how the relationship was suppose to be like. but in the taiwan version, you can really witness the relationship building up, from naoki being totally cold to being totally devoted to kotoko, whereas in the japanese version, they sort of got together just like that, which already made me feel a little weird back then.
they also handled all the emotional parts of the show very well! compared to the japanese version, the taiwan version was much more meticulous in their portrayal of scenes, and this made you feel really involved in the show and can completely emphatise with kotoko. okay, maybe you can call me emotional, but i sort of very literally cried whenever she cried and laughed whenever she laughed, and all throughout the show there were lots of emotional upheavals that really made me so so so engrossed in it that i just couldn't bear to stop watching.
so you can guess how unwilling i was to go to school in the morning. bleh.
and more importantly, the actors and actresses were really good! especially Joe Zheng Yuan Chang (Naoki)-- i didn't expect much from him at first but he totally changed my perspective of him in the show. he was just... very naoki, maybe even more so than takashi kashiwabara. i felt that he acted really well in ISWAK, that he was just Naoki instead of his own self. i remembered him as some screaming idiot from some other taiwan drama series that starrs Ella from SHE, but this time he was so Naoki that i almost fell in love lah. he handled all his emotions, his thoughts, his words and actions very well, that i had no doubt at all that he is the one best suited for the role of Naoki. even though he is more like the wild and "screaming idiot" kinda guy in reality, he was sooo cool and attractive in ISWAK that you can never imagine that he's the kind of guy he is in reality cuz their personalities are total opposites. in short, he is reeaaallly good ne!!!
the rest of the crew was great too. Ariel Lin Yi Chen was not bad, though i keep thinking that i was looking at Jolin Tsai somehow. but she is really good at those emotional scenes (i can't believe how hard i cried whenever she was so depressed over naoki), and the rest of the scenes she was just as wacky and klutzy as how kotoko is suppose to be, so there is really nothing to pick about her performance. the other characters were convincing, and i didn't think that any one of them acted below standards. everyone was just very professional and engaging in their scenes that you just feel that this is the world of ISWAK, unlike some other shows where the acting is so poor that i can't find any way to persuade myself to be engaged in the show at all.
and the scenes were really sweeet~~~!!!
although they changed the storyline quite abit, and sort of completely forgot to adhere to the meaning of the title Itazura No Kiss, i forgive them for it because the scenes were just too sweet and unforgettable lahh. you must really watch the show to get what i mean cuz i won't be doing justice to them by simply putting it across in words. plus the story just gets more and more interesting as you watch on-- you hardly feel bored. instead i felt more and more emotionally engaged in the show that i can just fully understand how the characters feel because i already know that so much has happened to them. plus the entire show is a comedy, so i was laughing so hard throughout the show lah. especially the ending... laughed so hard i literally just lied on the ground and couldn't get up~
awww~~~ it's such a nice show. no regrets buying it at all.
about the storyline itself, i've always liked the story ever since i saw the japanese version. although it is a little far-fetch and unrealistic (like naoki still being in school when he is already a genius with IQ200), it is still nontheless a drama, and so long as it can engage with and touch its audience, i would think that it's already a fantastic piece of work.
i like the way kotoko is so devoted to naoki. i like the way naoki always denies his feelings. i like the way they gradually became dependent on each other. i like the way they uncontrollably feel concern for each other. i like the way kinnosuke is still so faithful to kotoko. i like the way naoki deliberately tries to bully kotoko. i like the way kotoko tries ways and means to get naoki's attention. i like the way that their relationship is not merely built on words.
but at the same time i hate the way kotoko is so completely devoted and dependent on naoki, and the way naoki is always making her sad. but still these are the stuff that made the show so interesting to me, so... it's another ironic situation here.
favourite character? KOTOKO~~ *chang*chang~* i would say that Naoki attracts me (everyone will feel the same). but the never-say-die Kotoko is the one i truly admire. for... many many reasons.
*sigh*
oh and i just have to say that the soundtrack is superb too. they totally brought out the themes and atmosphere of the story, and contributed so much to the overall dramatic effectiveness of the show. very good!!! *thumbs up*
haiyaaa. i just love this show so much i can't stop thinking about it. i've been working on it for 3 days wor! totally neglecting schoolwork. everyday i would just try my best to rush home to watch it. watching it till so late at night that i couldn't wake up in time for school.
and now i have a history test tomorrow that i haven't studied for! i am definitely going to produce crap tomorrow. but there isn't regret lah.
when i start getting engrossed in something, other stuff don't really matter much to me anymore. especially when i feel that i should at least forget everything and enjoy myself for some time during the holidays. i can just completely neglect other stuff if i'm really into something. but again, this is rare, and kind of only happens during the holidays. cuz i won't dare to come close to anything of this nature during school days lest it would make me divert totally from my studies. erm... maybe macey is one of the accidental exceptions. and this is already affecting my studies in some ways okay!!
but anyways the point is, i think i should be getting back to my studies already. i had intended to conquer my jap doramas during the holidays as well. but i guess i won't have time for them anymore. i just realised that i barely have enough time for outings even. so let me see if i can get back into the right mood for work tomorrow.
that is... after the screwed up history test tomorrow.
