Friday, February 27, 2009 Watched the last episode of 1 Litre Of Tears yesterday. Cried 3 times... For those who don't know, 1 litre of tears is a japanese drama based on true story of a 15 year old girl who have an incurable disease known as spinocerebellar degeneration disease. It's a disease which due to unknown causes, the cerebullum shrinks and affects your spinal cord,resulting in the loss of speech, and immobility of your 4 limbs, without affecting the mind. A fate worse than death imo. The drama is a re-enactment of her life ,as described from her diary, from when she was diagnosed with the disease till her death in her twenties. How normal things became diffcult. How she became disabled, how she eventually cudnt talk.
At first i didn really feel anything in the first few episodes. But after awhile, the drama got to me. One of the lines in the drama which really got to me was "Why did this disease choose me?" It made me wonder why is it that such a cheerful and nice girl get such a cruel disease. And i began to realise how precious this good life god has given me, the health god has given me and how precious little things that normal humans do not appreciate are. Walking, talking and even eating and swallowing food. These things that some cannot enjoy. From the drama, "I realise now how health is such a blissful thing". I was able to relate to the drama probably because i have asthma. Running ,which is easy for most people, is such a hard task for me. I get breathless very easily. Waking up in the middle of the night coz i cant breathe properly. I too wonder why asthma chose me. I want to be able to run freely without getting breathless and tired too fast.
After watching the drama, it opened my heart and eyes. It made me feel more confident of my choice to apply for the biomedical science in SP. I will become a researcher one day, and i will aim to find cures of illnesses. I want to help those diagnosed with such cruel diseases. If possible, i want to become a doctor too, but reality is not always that easy.
I recommend this drama series to all. Go watch it, it will change your way of thinking. Appreciate your life right now, you may never know when it may have an unexpected turn.
Went to Jm hs today, and watched some shows. After that, Edmund persuaded us to go back to ZHSS at 4.30pm...but as usual, we left jm hs half an hr later, coz jm refused to bath. When we arrived at zhss, to our disappointment, we couldnt enter anymore because it was past 5pm. so we went to F&B instead and waited for our npcc mates, but only anthia and jiaqi came. the CIs went for hiking and overnight camp at dunno where. went back to opp zhss and accompanied jiaqi and anthia to eat dinner. Then coincidentally, met Jk, weichong,lucas they all... WC came running across and talked with us, and the rest followed suite. Talk talk awhile and went home lol. Was nice to see them after a long time.

Friday, February 13, 2009 Woke up and bathed. After that checked my facebook and saw aj rafael's status saying he's doing a live show on blogtv. quickly pressed the link and was lucky that it was still on... had to wait for 53 mins b4 i entered the main chatting room. the waiting room was hellish with so many haters. Anyway, i watched it till he ended it. Was quite funny at times. He played some random songs like powerpuff girls and power rangers theme song. Overall, was enjoyable.
Today went go sweelee with jm and jl. He bought a gig bag for his Kelly Star at $77...so ex. I compared the prices for a capo in sweelee in a shop opp it,dunno wads it called, and i was shocked. The capo was going for $40+ in sweelee, but only $20+ in the other shop.cant believe the price difference, its like 2x more exp. Seems like sweelee is such a ripoff. Dunno why ppl keep going back to sweelee even tho they know they are getting ripped off.
After that, headed back to zhonghua. met up with edmund coz he want take his pick, so we went in to zhss together.Felt kinda weird going back to sec sch in homeclothes. Saw Ms Tan and my squadmates as we entered the canteen. First thing she said to me was " why is your hair so long?" i just shrugged it lol. Dont know why people keep telling me my hair is long, i think its still not that long...btw, Anthia cudnt make it(even tho she was the person who organised the go-back-to-unit thing *frowns*) . Met jr there. John Sir came back lol. dunno why so many ppl came back to unit today. He was teaching at yangzheng pri as a relief teacher(i think)! After that, talk talk, slack slack, kena bullied abit and went for dinner at mac ard 7.15pm. Asked for student meal and still gt it lol, even tho im a poly student! Then discussed abt finding a job. edmund commented that if jl,jm and me dun find a job and slack till april, we wud have been slacking for half a year...quite true =S
Ate and went home at 8.15pm. Took mrt to kovan and wanted to walk home, but took the bus instead. Went out of hs with $7+ in ezlink card, came back with only a few cents left. Travel fare so ex! so unfair for poly students...i say government shud give us student fare, or at least a special fare thats cheaper than normal...can die le like that, sp so far from kovan.
Now trying to re-learn guitar, forgot everything i learned b4...also trying to play hallelujah lol. We'll see how it turns out in 5-6 months. haha long long, coz i nt dat serious. just learn for fun.

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 Calmed down after listening to hallellujah a few times. That song is so soothing to the heart, even tho i aint no christian.
A cover done by kinagrannis(a wonderful singer)
Here are the lyrics: i heard there was a secret chord that david played and it pleased the lord but you don't really care for music, do you well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth the minor fall and the major lift the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you she tied you to her kitchen chair she broke your throne and she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i've been here before i've seen this room and i've walked this floor i used to live alone before i knew you i've seen your flag on the marble arch but love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
well there was a time when you let me know what's really going on below but now you never show that to me do you but remember when i moved in you and the holy dove was moving too and every breath we drew was hallelujah
well, maybe there's a god above but all i've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...

I'm so fking pissed right now. Stupid father, expect everything to be done his way. He think he god, every1 must follow him. He doesnt even do half the things he ask me do. Dam hypocrite. Sometimes i wonder what i did in my previous life that made god give me this fking life. I wish he would just take my life away right now, no more hatefulness, no more sorrow. Just eternal slumber ahead.
If that doesnt happen, i'm gonna study hard, get a loan from government or wadeva and study abroad when im going uni. after that im gonna try and get a good job and live far far away, disappear without a trace. I'll look forward to the day i can leave this fking house forever.
Argh, i wish this was like click, where u got a remote to fast forward life.

Monday, February 9, 2009 Woke up a 9am today, my mom just had to wake me up...
Burned my um2 today for a few hrs today. The sound is more clear and getting better. The highs is stronger now. im getting addicted to it. Only got 1 small problem, i need get smaller sized shure olives. the current 1(medium) is abit big and sometimes abit painful and irritating. Need to head down to jaben soon.
Watched Hsm3 2 more times again today. Didn know wad else to do.
Argh im v bored now...right nw watching rerun of grammys.

Changed my blogskin coz i got nothing better to do. Its 12.28am and im still not tired, just very bored.
Bought my ipod nano 4th gen this early this week. But i couldnt do anything with it, the apple earphones were terrible. bleh. sound quality is srsly sucky.
Today went out to get my westone um2. I went to the store to test it out first. I was amazed at how good the um2 sounds. The sound quality was seriously good. The mids and lows were very clear, so were the vocals. Only thing that I was slightly unhappy with was the highs. But its still good compared to other iems i tried. Overall, im quite satisfied with it. The noise isolation is superb.I went in to the store with a heavy wallet, came out with a super light wallet and a grin on my face.$400+ well spent imo.Burned it with my ipod for 3 hrs, and the sound got better. The highs are now more clear.I'm even more impressed with it now. I recommend the westone um2 to anyone who is looking for a good iem at a reasonable price.
Went home and watched Hsm 3. Wasnt as bad as i thought, definitely better than the second sequel. The songs were significantly nicer and catchier.One of the songs i loved was the one where they danced walts to it.i tihnk its called "Can i have this dance?"
I'm still waiting forr admission into SP, which is around April if im not wrong. Realised im in the same course, same sch as Edmund and Sugan! i wont be lonely in the course...but waiting 2 more months is boring. We are all rotting at home. Edmund suggested a gathering for poly losers, mayb it'll be fun rotting together...
Just finished watching a soccer match. father made me watch lol. Surprisingly, it was fun to watch. Tottenham gt a draw with Arsenal. tho tottenham was more entertaining imo. Now watching westham vs man utd.hope man utd wins. shall post results of it as soon as the match is over. Edit: Man utd wins 1-0. scored by giggs :)
