Satoshi Ohno is so amazing!
I really really like that calm aura about him, that kind of deadpan tone of voice and the immense honesty he has. :DDD
ARASHI gambatte ne!
I've just realised that the guy who acted in The Letters of Iwo Jima was from Arashi! I think he's name is Nino or smth and when I watched TLoTJ in the cinemas, I really really admired him because I found his acting just really enjoyable to watch.
RAH. There's so many things about Arashi to like :D

But you know what, MatsuJun is still the one I like the most.
He's really really amazing, like being concert leader and having all that concert stuff planned out in his head, and singing on stage, and acting because it's just so believable!, and trying to be honest about himself.
Hey, Matsumoto-san, I really really admire that part about you. Trying to be honest about yourself.
And I've got this huge crush on him ! Like whoa.
:DDDDDDDDD
I think I would faint if I actually see him in real life. HAHA.
Another reason to go to Japan: Watch Arashi in a concert! Tokyo Dome!

leaving it all behind

The Amazing Cultural Race today was really amazing.
I've gone to places in Singapore that I would never go, ever.
I so so so desperately wanted to take a taxi in the end but I restrained myself and didn't.
But honestly!!! We were roaming about in the same area for ageeees.
Upekha, Anna, Neu Shyan and I agreed that S'pore really is a small small place.
but it was still fun, even through we didnt win! :D
The Armenian Church was pretty cool through, I liked it, the graves there somehow reminded me of Westminister Abbey.

Well, waited for Dad for ages and somehow, I got really angry at him, angry at myself and angry at the world.
Argh, I don't know why. I just cldnt understand why he cldnt come and pick me up really quickly because I had a horrible headache and fever at like 38.2 and he knows it!
I was angry at myself for being angry at Dad because I know I shldnt behave this way and take people for granted.
And thennn.. angry at the world for making me angry.
BLEH. I WAS BEING SO CHILDISH!!!
And I crushed my GP Crime and Punishment notes and you know how thick those notes were.
I really do have a bad temper. Sigh.
And my phone choose the perfect time to run out of battery.
IRENAIITSUMO! -bangs table- I was so mad!!!
And there was this lady who absolutely refused to loan me her phone, like WHATEVER.
I don't need your crumbly phone anyway. Bloody hell.
And being stubborn, I went to sit down and I had this really really angry look on my face that shocked my Dad out when the car arrived.
But when I saw him I just calmed down because I dont like to yell at him.
So I kept really quiet but we managed to talk properly after a while.

I really did have a good day, just that I guess I was really moody because I was horribly ill (I still am, urgh) and I ran around the whole day, being sweaty, tired and grumpy.
I do remember telling Upekha that I never wanted to study here anymore.
I don't know why I said that. It was just a feeling that I had.
I did say that I wasnt going to lie to myself anymore.

I guess I really do have my roots in Singapore, the question is am I courageous enough to wrench it from the ground, to change the colour of my passport, one day, someday?
I'm not a quitter but That sense of belonging, it doesnt exist.
That crucial bit that should have been here a long time ago, yeah, it's gone missing.
I'm hanging on a rope, that lies on the edge of everything.
Yeah, my hands hurt from holding on.
Time to pull that rope to the ground.

but im cold on the inside.


29 June 2007

OMG!!!!!!!!! I HATE UMI TO BITS!!
HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO TSUKUSHI!
AFTER SHE TRUSTED HER SO MUCH TOO!



arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@!

domyouji no baaaaaka!!!!!!

okay, a little over-reaction from watching episode 10 of Hana Yori Dango.
I can't understand why my sister hates Domyouji so much!
I much prefer him then Rui, bleh. LOL
Anyway, MatsuJun is a damn good actor!
And he's cute too. :D
Tsukushi gives me determination to do well in my studies,
and Shizuka's attitude is really encouraging.
She said, "Most importantly.. Be yourself."

Maaaaaaa ne.
I haven't really been myself huh.
Very very very few people actually know me for me.
Weeelll. How do you say this?
I guess I'm a really private person?
Alright! Whatever it is, I'd give it my best shot.

Right.
So this was how I spent my day, watching videos.
My head hurt far too much to absorb schoolwork so I watched Hana Yori.
I so want those box-sets!!
Can someone get them from Japan for me? Doubt they are sold in Singapore.
I've been missing from school lately.
I've been ill and not playing truant, haha :D
Somehow, I dont really miss it that much.
Hm.
I guess I'm being a little silly about things?

MissLee was right.
I should grow up and put aside those things and concentrate on being who I want to be.

gambatte!


25 June 2007

all ye who judge by sight are infinitely erronous when you judge a paper mask that shield from sight too many rights and wrongs

ohmy.
im glad i went to school today at least.
best girlriends! :D
Vicky and Siewps, I love you both, haha.
rahrahrahrah.

i'm on a diet. :D

URM.
common test is 6 weeks away.
like hitch up your socks, Cherie!

Anna suggested transfering to Year 11th in Britain.
I told her its a good idea if my parents agree.
Which is quite impossible due to many many reasons.
I could do my A levels in England.
dreams

I still want to study Japanese through.


23 June 2007

Omy. everyth in blogger is written in Thai, haha.
Maybe its the default language, haha.
Well, I'm still in Thailand but its my last day here.
This holiday, I've never even been in Singapore for a week.
Anywhere but that place please.
I've had enough. Enough, enough.
SIGH.
Rock on, Life.
Hang on. Hang on.
One more freaking year.
One more!
I think I'm home-sick.

Manon is crying again, poor darling.
She's my niece who's darn cute but also darn stubborn.
She just tried to kill the cat again, haha.
Poor Tehe(cat's name).
She's really so so so cute but sometimes, she just screams and screams.
Because she's half-French, she's really white and has these big pretty eyes with extremely longgggg lashes.
And everytime she goes 'Ah yi!' which is me, I'd just carry her and snuggle her until she laughs.
But she's also dreadfully ill now and I have to refuse her my sweets because it'd just make her cough more.
By the way, she'd be two in a week and she can speak English, French, Thai and a little of Chinese.
How talented is this baby? VERY.
Ah, I just love Manon so much.
I'd miss her. :(

I'd miss Jiejie too!
She's my eldest cousin and Manon's mum.
She's been saying that I'd miss the cat more than I'd miss her.
That's not true! Haha. :D
Yup, I'd miss Korkor too :D
He's been very nice to us.
The first time I addressed him as 'Korkor' it was pretty weird because he's French but he smiled and said "Hi."
Haha, yup, he's nice.

Anyway, I've been eating Thai food and French food almost everyday.
No Chinese food please!
The night bazaars rock, :D
Yay, 7000 baht gone down the drain. Aha.
Mum has been really nice to me.
Thanks Mum, for the money! :D


Hais.

Tomorrow I'd be flying home. :(

at world's end.


16 June 2007

Yup, I'm going overseas.
To a place that's both enticing and dangerous at the same time.
(:

I've always told myself that I can do it.
It was practically on the tip of my tongue during O Levels.
Well, it's the same this time round.
I know I CAN AND I WILL.
I'm determined to get my 7 As, (yes that includes Mandarin) no matter what hindrances I face.
I'm determined to master Japanese in a span of two years.
I'm determined to get my piano diploma by the end of next year.
I'm determined to be able to be brave; no more sulking and hiding away.
I will get that scholarship. I will become the person that I want to be.
Yes, balk in the face of my determination. :D

Recently, I've been musing a lot about religion as well and Lord of the Rings came to my mind?
It's one of my most favourite upon favourites, no other movie I have watched has yet to match up to LOTR's glorious-ness and amazing surreal experience, be it reading the books or being glued to the big screen.
For all you who have never chanced upon this sensational trilogy, go out now and, buy that DVD and click play.
You will never regret watching it.
Swear upon my life. :D

Still my favourite song;

May It Be - Enya



May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now




Evenstar .
may it be when darkness falls, your heart will be true


14 June 2007

urm, tagboard is down.
dont know why.

my mind is swimming, i feel delirious?
haha, maybe im rmb-ing too many things?
dont worry. they're good things.

Peter is right, I really have too many distractions.


13 June 2007

edit: OH YES, YOUNGER SISTER HAS BEEN ON OBS FOR 3 DAYS NOW. kind of miss her as much as she complains that im a tyrant and dicates her entires life or whatever.
May God keep her and bless her and to keep her from all harm and evil lurky things out there. Ahem.

運命の船を漕ぎ
波は次から次へと
私たちを襲うけど
それも素敵な旅ね
どれも素敵な旅ね

I just want to say gomen ne to one person.
I'm sorry I said no but well, if you can understand, I really would prefer not hurting ourselves.
Because who knows when is the next time we'd meet?
But I'd try alright? Because I really like Japan too :D
Maybe what you said would really come true?
Haha, let's hold on to that, ya! :D
Yeah, maybe one day I can say to my friends that his name is Itsuki?
:D
Yeah, bet you didnt know I was talking about you, you blur person.
Take care of yourself!
It has been a fleeting two weeks.

Um, another apology to another person..
Sorry for not being able to meet up with you today.
Hey, who says no one cares?
Well, I do.
I really admire the way you hold on but you've got to understand that you're just hurting yourself?
I'd try my best to help you but the one person who you really need to help is yourself because even I can't do anything about that.

I'm so bored.
Peter told me to go and study.
D:
Okay.

keep on thinking, keep on flying. maybe one day you'd fly straight home


12 June 2007

wondering if i'd stay young and restless

YEAH. today's the first damn day that i went to school since.. last week of may?
omygosh.
NOT A GOOD FEELING.
total boredom.
complained to Anna and Anna complained to me too.
damn.
im so bored, its like nothing excites me anymore.
yeayea, studies etc.
if i could lighten this load?
its the norm all over again.

somebody save me.

after the mundane lecture, went to SP with Hema to meet Peter.
he's my new cell grp leader btw after cg multiplied.
quite fun la.
gossiped, den Peter showed us the red bridge which HQ talked abt.
Whoa, the railings are a little too short no?
If Peter leaned on it, based on his height, he'd definitely fall over.
Whoa, dangerous.
So ya. We climbed all over SP to this ulu bridge. Haha.
Anyway, the scenery at the next block was great.
Can see all the way to Sentosa?
S'pore is so freaking small. LAWL.
Chatchatchatchat, then went home.

Well! been thinking about what im going to do with my life.
Since God gave me life I guess I shall make the best of it?
Because I thought about her, talked abt her to Peter for a while and almost cried.
Well, I can rmb from 2 yrs ago what exactly happened. May her soul rest in peace.

Anyway, Itsuki, arigato.
You have no idea how much I treasure you (:
Thank you for teaching me so many things. I'd definitely remember them.
So don't worry.
I'd be fine. (:
You take care of yourself too!

End of year location : JAPAN! :D
I'm going to take my JLPT exams too (:

LIFE IS LIKE A BOAT : RIEFU

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you thru another day

遠くで息をしてる 透明になったみたい
暗闇に思えたけど 目隠しされてただけ

祈りをささげて 新しい日を待つ
鮮やかに 光る海 その果てまで

(I’m breathing in a faraway place, it seems like I’ve become transparent
And though I think I’m in the dark, I’ve only been blindfolded

Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come
Until the morning stops glittering on the sea)

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

人の心はうつりゆく 抜け出したくなる
つきはまた新しい周期で 舟を連れてく
(People’s hearts shift and change, wanting to slip out
The moon still keeps bringing in the boat with each new phase)

And every time I see your face,
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
And soon I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I.... can see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you, and keep you strong

旅はまだ続いてく 穏やかな日も
つきはまた新しい周期で 舟を照らし出す

祈りをささげて 新しい日を待つ
鮮やかに 光る海 その果てまで
(The journey still continues, even on calm days
The moon still starts shining down on the boat with each new phase

Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come
Until the morning stops glittering on the sea)


And every time I see your face,
The oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
And soon I can see the shore

運命の船を漕ぎ
波は次から次へと
私たちを襲うけど
それも素敵な旅ね
どれも素敵な旅ね
(We are all rowing the boat of fate, the waves keep on coming and we can’t escape
That too is a beautiful journey, isn’t it? Any of them is a beautiful journey, isn’t it)


the ocean heaves at my heart but the journey continues on

何事も何らかの理由があって起こる。

i know its hard. therefore, do not give up because there's still such a long way to go. and remember what you wanted, what you've always wanted. if you carry on the way you do, do you think you will achieve your dreams?

ある. zensenkutou!

my converter died on me. am reduced to typing out hiragana or english. D:

i swear i will master my japanese language somehow!
but i need to master mandarin first. D: -cries-

AUNT CALLED FROM ENGLAND TODAY! :DDDDDDD
was triplely-super excited when i heard her voice on the phone. :D
oh my. i loved the proper english.
haven't been using that for a while now! :D
the connection was rather shoddy and i mumbled some reply about studying at JJC and the first term being alright so far.
did not mention a lot of things i would have liked to mention!
actually i mentioned JJ and when she paused, I elucidated the acronym by saying 'Jurong Junior College' and she replied: "That's very good."
:D

i missed her because the last trip was really fun.
had good memories.
basically, we just shopped around Stafford and went to Birmingham for a breeze which was really entertaining.
stepped into lots of pubs and watched the adults drink while i drank someth like fruit punch. D:
and i lazed around in her house for a long time,
eating pies and sandwiches with pickles and wandering around her huge-ass garden
in my stars & stripes sweater and walked all the way down from her garden to the river that runs from Birmingham to London and stared at duckies in the water.
they were so cute!

tried to avoid poisonous plants, went for a great walk that would have never occured in singapore (because we have no forests unless you count BTR and some other i don't know what), kicked leaves, took photos, fell in love with the scenery, peeked at the neighbour's farm and fat cows, breathed in good air, played with the neighbour's dog and said 'hello' to everyone we saw.
those were the good days.
mind you, this consisted of Aunt, Mother and myself.
Dad and Uncle were always off at some musuems or smth. or Uncle was working. Smth like the like.
can i say enough how much i love england?
and the stars at night. the smiles. the laughter and games. and being stupid and almost tripping over aunt's carpet.

LOVES.

btw, m'sia is actually quite fun! will update when im back (:

maybe if i can turn back Time; there would always be a place like that
