Wednesday, April 05, 2006 yI've been reading a manga about curry lately and....wow....its damn addictive. The manga not only depicts about the main character love for curry, but there's also the element of romance in it. I've just finished reading volume 15 and....I'm just feeling very, very down right now so I thought I might as well write something about it. In volume 15, they mentioned about the past of one of the character in the manga. That guy....he had a brother and....he's always being compared with his brother because his brother is better than him in all aspects. So when he grew up, people still likes to compare him with his brother, which makes him really, really frustrated. Now here's the part which caused me to feel really, really sad. There's a girl who really like that guy ever since their university days and...well, she's always being seen together with the guy's brother. I'm not sure if the guy is jealous or not but the girl suddenly mentioned in front of that guy about how interesting his brother is. The guy was very mad and told that girl to try and date his brother. The girl was shocked upon hearing it and tried to clarify the matter but the guy just can't take it anymore and decide to leave the restaurant which they were all working at..... A few years later, the girl went and looked for the guy and......its not because she wanted to be with the guy again. It's because she wanted to see the guy one last time before getting married! And guess what, she's marrying his brother! The guy was sad of course but on the other hand, he got really irrirated when the guy's brother also appeared and the girl said something.......The next day, the girl tried to look for the guy again to clarify matters but the guy got really frustrated and told her to get lost. The girl went crying back home of course. However, the guy started thinking about his past, and how the girl is the only person who stands beside him when all the other people were flocking around his brother. He realised his feelings and went to challenge his brother to a culinary duel, with the girl being the judge. In the end, the guy managed to send his thoughts and feelings to the girl in his food and....the girl cried. She then went on trying to tell the guy about what happened last time, and that the person she liked is him but the guy stopped her halfway. He told her that he knew it all along, and that its all the past now. Right now, the only thing the girl needs to care about is the person most important to her now. After saying that, he told the girl that he can still support himself with the memories of their past and then wished the girl happiness. The girl smiled and the guy left and after which they showed the picture of the girl and the guy together........ Now you guys know why I'm feeling so down now!? I know its that guy's fault for leaving the girl but the girl's at fault too you know! The problem is the guy still likes the girl and...and....he just let her go!? I know after all that, the guy could no longer wish for the girl to still like him but....but.....*sigh*.....I just hate sad endings. If the girl had clarify her feelings for him earlier...if the girl had not made the guy angry....if the guy didn't left in the first place, he would now had been togther with the girl! The reason why the girl ended up with the guy's brother is because the guy left so suddenly and the girl's feeling sad and all and the only person she could depend on at that time was the guy's bro. But even still, you can tell she still likes the guy. Even though the whole thing had been settled, even though she married that guy's bro and lived a happy life after that, I still have a feeling she would be much more happier if she decided to stay together with that guy.....*sigh* After reading volume 15, I started to realise that we should all cherish our present relationship now and try not to leave an regrets that may hurt us in the future. We should also be more clear with our own feelings, and don't ever be like that guy and girl in the manga. Funny huh? I myself love to read romance manga but....on the other hand, its also one of my most hated genre. Love can be such a sweet and sour thing and I will like to hereby clarify one thing. I HATE THAT SORT OF ENDING! Why can't people just be frank about their feelings for each other? And don't ever be like the girl. She didn't think twice about that guy's plight before she started talking and I believed that's one of the main reason why the guy left in the first place. Secondly, don't ever be like that guy. He got overwhelmed with the idea of always losing to his brother which overshadowed his feelings. By the time he realised it, its already too late. Arrggg......I hate it when two person who love it each other gotta get seperated like that. Now I'm getting a headache already. I better start looking for some romance manga with sweeter endings. Oh yeah, btw, that manga I'm talking about just now....there's also a sweeter romance story in it which involves the 2 main character. The other thing that worries me is....the main female character in the manga is tooooooo cute!!!!!! Not to mention that she's innocent and stupid. That's why she always got "bully" and "chased" by guys, BAD guys. Luckily for her, the only person she love is the main male character, and she has a....overly protective father and friends. *Sigh*....when can I get to see the 2 main characters be together....damn, they always got interrupted when they're about to kiss. The main guy better do something soon or one day, the girl gonna lose her first kiss. She almost lost it in volume 14 when some weird dude adducted her. Luckily the main guy appeared and gave that pervert guy a freaking punch. *Sigh* I just hope the girl don't met with any mishap. The manga is kinda pervert in a sense and I SERIOUSLY hope the magaka don't come up with anything bad for the girl. Just make sure the guy ends up with the girl damn it!!!!!!!!!! Oops......I got too absorbed into it again...Hehe....so....cya fellas! i want this to last 7:32 PM Friday, March 24, 2006 *Sigh* I just got my exam results last Wednesday and......let's see, I've gotten 3 As, 4 Distinctions and 1 B+ !!!!!! Phew~looks like all my hard work finally paid off. You guys know how much I've suffered for my last semester!? Man....just thinking back give me the creeps. Arrggg....looks like I've gotta start my study and revision earlier in the next semester. I just hate the feeling of studying for my exam at the last minute. Enough with the exams already. I'm still having a holiday though. SP's not going to be reopened till 16th of April. Damn.....a few more weeks to go....I just hate the feeling of not doing anything. Can you guys believe it? I spent the whole month at home watching animes and playing PS2! Speaking of PS2, I haven't touch 'em for 2 whole week! If this keeps on, I'm gonna finish all my PS2 games before the school reopens! Lucky I still have my animes to keep me occupied. i want this to last 6:06 PM Sunday, March 05, 2006 Phew~exams are finally over and.....I'M BORED!!!!!! Damn...and the holiday is gonna last till mid April!? Awwww.....looks like I gotta get more games to get me occupied! Muahahahaz~ *Ahem* Back to some serious stuffs. I've been thinking a lot lately (as usual) and was just wondering about my own existance in this BIG BIG world. Hmm....isn't it amazing that just 1 person is enough to change the whole world? I'm not going to elaborate on that but rather I'm more interested in our purpose of existance in this world. Come to think of it, the answer isn't that difficult after all. We exist simply because we exist. That's all. We have our family, we have our friends and we have people that acknowledge our existance in this world. We all lived for a purpose in this world, and that purpose is for us to decide. That's right, its for us to decide. Some people kept on blabbering about how our fate and destiny is being decided by God blablabla. To hell with that. The only thing I believe that God decides is our life and death. That's all to it. We chose our own path which will in turn decides our fate and our purpose of existance in this world. Second thing I feel that I seriously need to talk about is the attitude of people nowadays. Let's take typical Singaporean youngsters for instance. They no longer feel attached to the country as their grandparents or parents do, and like some of my friends, these people only care about themselves and their thinkings are very, very pessimistic. For instance, one of my friends in Singapore Polytechnic keep on having the mindset that the society is very cruel and always sort of argue with me about my beliefs and saying how naive I am blablabla. What he says is true, but hey, if everyone in this world starts thinking like that, then the world is really doomed. I feel that we ought to be optimistic in our life, and always believe in ourselves, our friends, our family and our own country. Sure there may be some setbacks here and there but that's what make our life more interesting. There are ups and downs in our life, but we must learn to overcome it, not avoding it. That's what my that particular friend has been doing all this time. He kept on telling me that what he'd been through is something I can never understand but to me, it sounds like he's trying to avoid something. I'm always trying to make him change his mindset but....he's just so.....persistent and pessimistic that I just don't know how to persuade him. Furthermore, he don't have any goals in life. He's just....floating along in life aimlessly. I'm really worried about him as I can already foresee that he won't be leading a happy and meaningful life in the future. I guess I'll stop here then. Those people that can't understand a single word I'm talking about, forget about it. I find it difficult to simplify it into something you guys can understand with ease. Some of the stuffs up there are my philosophical beliefs and its up to you guys whether to agree with me or not. But one word of advice though. Be optimistic about life no matter what and be sure to have a goal in life. Start thinking about your own existance in this world, and what is your purpose in life. Oh yeah, before I stop, I'll like to remind you guys that I'm still 17 and not some weird old geek who's here lecturing people about how they should lead their life. I'm just giving you guys some of my insights or whatever you'll like to call it. i want this to last 3:34 PM Monday, February 27, 2006 It may be a little late to say this now but...farewell and rest in peace Mr S.Rajaratnam, former deputy prime minister of Singapore. Now back to topic. I've been observing the news regarding the death of Mr S.Rajaratnam for the past few days and....I just can't help but feel a certain sense of admiration for him. Yeah its true I just know him on the news but, hey he's the person who wrote the pledge we recite every day right? Frankly speaking, I didn't knew he was the person behind the whole ideal of multiracialism, and if he weren't there for Singapore for that time, I'm sure Singapore will still be facing racial conflicts every now and then. We also musn't forget the fact that Mr S.Rajaratnam is ONE of the founding fathers of Singapore besides Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Mr Goh Keng Swee. They were the one who forge Singapore into what it is now. Mr S.Rajaratnam....or rather his death, made me realise that we must never give up no matter how difficult or far fetch our ideal is, and we must always fight for what we believed in. Even though I knew that long ago, Mr S.Rajaratnam's death only strengthen my resolve to do well, to fullfil my dream. Many Singaporeans nowadays are very ignorant about the history of Singapore. I admit that I am one of them, but hey, I've met worst before. We young Singaporeans tend to take things for granted, and we no longer know how to appreciate stuffs anymore. I'm not really good with words so I'll keep things as simple as possible. If you go around asking people whether they'll protect Singapore when its in crisis, they'll just say they'll most probably 'run' away to another country ot something. That's the most common reply amoung my friends. This is a VERY serious problem, and if we don't do anything right now, Singapore could well be doomed. After what our founding fathers did, after what Mr S.Rajaratnam did, we can't just let Singapore 'die' when its in crisis. Alright, enough with the.....'educational' speech. Before I go, I'll like you guys to know about some of the stuffs I've 'discovered' over the past few years. When a great person such as Mr S.Rajaratnam die, what they wanted is not for the world to remember them. All they ever wanted was for the people to remember what they've DID for them. What's the point of remembering their names when you don't even know what they did for the people? Secondly, why do these people contribute so much for the people when they themselves know may not benefit anything from it? It's because they wanted to do something for the people, and they hope that by doing so, they can pass on their spirit, their ideal to the people one day. Sadly, most people nowadays don't even bother about those 2 points I've mentioned above. i want this to last 10:30 AM Friday, January 20, 2006 I know I know, I forgot to update my blog again. A lot has been going on lately and its hard for me to find time for my blog. So many projects to be done yet so little time....Then there's the revision going on.....I seriously need to find some time to rest. Anyway, yesterday was really, really tiring. SP's Careers and Courses Fair opened yesterday and my friends and I sure have lots of fun hanging around there. We just go around as if we're secondary school students and leeched the goodie bags and free ice-creams there! Haha....it was hell funny. And since I have 2 presenations yesterday, I wore my formal attire to school. Now here's the real funny part. It should be pretty obvious that I'm a SP student since I'm wearing a formal attire right? Its not like I'm wearing T-Shirt or something that makes me look like a secondary 4 student. Anyway, while walking around the fair, 2 girls stopped me and handed me a brochure!? DO I LOOK THAT YOUNG!? Why the hell they give me that for!? I'm already in a course!? Putting that aside, I guess I forgot to tell you guys that I've been awarded the Director's Roll for the first semester! Unless you guys are wondering, the Director's Roll is being awarded to the top 5% students in a course. Yep, that means I made it to the top 5%! Wow...I never expect myself to get it since I only obtained a GPA of 3.92 (max GPA allowed is 4.0). Well, I just need to continue working hard and I'll be getting this cert for another....5 more times! Arrrgg.....my head hurts now whenever I mentioned anything related to studies. I guess I'll go take a rest then. Until next time, ja ne~ i want this to last 7:26 PM Friday, December 23, 2005 COR BLIMEY!? I finally finished playing Dragon Quest VIII! Hooray~ Man.....its such a long game. Well, I've finally finished it and now I supposed I can just concentrate on my studies. Man....I totally loved the ending of DQ8, and by ending, I meant the GOOD ending. Haha...you see...there's 2 endings for the game, the normal one and the good one. You've gotta get to normal ending first before you're able to obtain the good ending. Haha...The ending was sweet. The hero finaly got to marry.....Shhhhh....I can't possibly spoil the ending for those people playing the game right? I watched Chronicles of Narnia yesterday. And my god, its damn crowded! Its just like that time when we go watch Harry Potter! Its a nice movie. The visual effects were totally awesome, and the animals didn't look one bit fake! As expected from Weta workshop. Oh yeah, for those folks who have no idea what Weta workshop is, its the very special effect studio that produced Lord of the Rings and King Kong! Now I'm definitely looking forward to the 2nd series of Narnia. And one more thing. My cousin got posted to RGS! We're all so happy for her! Well, now she's got into RGS, she'll definitely have to work extra hard to cope with the fierce competition there. No worries, I'm sure she'll be able to handle it just fine. i want this to last 6:54 PM Thursday, December 22, 2005 Oh blimey....I forgot to update my blog ag.....nevermind. I'm sick of starting my post with that sentence. Arrggg.....so many things to accomplish and then there's the constant stress...arrgg...my head...IT HURTS!!!?? *Ahem* Alright, I guess I'll just give you guys an update on what's going on this week. This is the 8th week since the start of a new semester in SP...phew~time sure flies. And the 8th week is the e-Learning week for us SP students! E-Learning...it basically means all SP students are supposed to 'lock' themselves up in their room and study everything off the net. It sounds pretty good don't you think? You're wrong. E-Learning week...it sucks. During the e-learning week, we're given excessive amount of work and assignment to complete. And trust me, its hell. I can hardly find a time where I can just sit down and relax without thinking about school work. Its damn stressful. And...today's Thursdayy, which means tomorrow is the end of e-learning week! Hold your horses fellow. End of e-learning week means I gotta submit all my work by tomorrow. Yeah, and...........hold on a second. You guys must be thinking I'm still left with a whole lot of shit to complete right? You're wrong! Bwahahahaz~I'm only left with a tiny-weeny bit of work to do and I'm freeeeeeee! Well, not really free. I haven't got to study much for my test mind you. Alright, let's take a break from all my....complains. Today's a big day for my cousin. She's going to collect her school posting result later, and everyone in my family is hoping she'll get into RGS. I'm hoping she'll get in too, as I won't be getting any free dinner if she can't get into it. Haha...you see, my aunt promise me that she'll treat us all to dinner if my cousin managed to get into RGS! Just kidding....I'm not that sort of person mind you. Anyway, I'll be catching Chronicles of Narnia later on so I gotta finish up with my work now. Gotta go. Tata~ i want this to last 8:55 AM |
