the past few days, i learn alot from watching...

DRAMAS & ANIME!

i learnt to apply the word 'kawaii' (how it's used, how it's portrayed, how girls use it) in different context.
i learnt about the inner feelings of hosts in host club (sabisu if i nv rmb wrongly) hehehe..
i learnt about the different ways people in postwar Japan framed 'family' *nod nod*....but at the same time, i see how gender roles within the traditional nuclear family is defined.

yes yes goOd educational videos *click on another episode*

i just wanna blog somethin' becos i wanna make my blog happenin'

what's the big deal about you? i dunno, i'm just attracted to you. i can survive without you but i don't want to. i just have to look at you everyday even putting my real priorities aside for 10 minutes. it's baaaaaaddddd. i know. you've gotten into me just like how everyone else. even if there's nothing, i can't not not stop.

end of ranting. bleahs.

i spent 2+ hrs ytd watching Lady Gaga on youtube... can't wait for her new songs to be released. She. is. so. adorable. yesss queer word cos she's queer but when she's not being queer, she's polite and adorable.

one of a kind last lecture.

12:12 AM, Friday, November 20, 2009

LOLS this is my 1st time having my lecture in such a big LT (which lecture do you have ushers to welcome you? lolsss). it was a pleasant event; won't say it's really exciting BUT i almost teared on quite a few occasions when videos of certain people were shown and when David read the story of "The Giving Tree"...

and we got to see sarah (that's her with David our lecturer)....she was sitting in the front rows as well and oh my, she's seriously tall and lanky (perhaps at least half a head taller than David if she stood up)

i'm seriously impressed by the efforts other groups have put up. They set the bar so high that u'll think dey only have this module to study for =S. am embarrassed with myself lOls..

and thanks sx for showing your concern; i was almost speechless at your reaction when i asked for sweet.

This module (with damn hard exam qns sobs sobs) was a worthwhile uni experience, i must say. It's unconventional and I had a great tutor, great tutorial group and great group mates lolsss.

kinda glad i took this instead of erm, forensic science & reproductive organs lols!

interesting usage of words.

4:11 PM, Monday, November 16, 2009

there's not much enjoyment in life these days perhaps except from deriving amusement from interesting usage of words in academic sources. oh my tian...is this how my life's gonna be for the next 2-3 weeks?!?

taken from Johnny Kitagawa's reading:
"...both the heavenly domain and the nether region (LOLs) as being in the "other world", "

"While Buddhism made great advances during the seventh and eighth centruies, Shinto was far from being dead." (LOLS...din noe you can write like this in an essay...somehow i imagined aloy's sarcastic tone)

Don't be evil.

i have officially x3 caught the F.D- the Facebook disease/ disorder..
i wanted to go blogger but my fingers instinctively typed 'facebook.com' within like 5 seconds...OMG.

it takes more than meds & determination to cure this.

constant worries about work weigh on my mind from time to time...even more so after i've reading articles for Soci of Education and dey keep reiterating to you about the realities of life after schoOl HAIZ.

anyhow, here're some amusing facts about Google..it's like a dream company if you're software engineer, ain't it?

Fact 1: As a motivation technique (usually called Innovation Time Off), all Google engineers are encouraged to spend 20% of their work time (one day per week) on projects that interest them

Fact 2: In an effort to maintain the company's unique culture, Google has designated a Chief Culture Officer in 2006, who also serves as the Director of Human Resources. The purpose of the Chief Culture Officer is to develop and maintain the culture and work on ways to keep true to the core values that the company was founded on in the beginning

Fact 3: In 2009 Google announced it was deploying herds of goats to keep grassland around the Googleplex short, helping to prevent the threat from seasonal bush fires while also reducing the carbon footprint of mowing the extensive grounds.

one of a kind lectures.

8:43 PM, Tuesday, November 10, 2009

hahahas. one of a kind lectures as my entry title suggests.
well you know it's week 13 and it's review lectures time..so Anne Raffin was saying we're always very stressed and if anybody asks for exam tips *at this point in time perhaps some are leaning in to listen*...

we should MEDITATE!LOLS.
so we spent close to 10-15mins meditating (or trying to mediate) lolsss. it was confusing instructions ..i din noe if i am to inhale and then exhale through my mouth or exhale through my nostrils. she was a bit frenzied lol...in fact the whole LT was laughing and then she off-ed the lights; there was supposed to be 'the most relaxing music in the world' HAAAH but she couldn't figure out the audio @ that time so we spent the 5 minutes in darkness and silence lols.

dunno what's the exact link she used but if u need time to calm your nerves, i've got one here! *waves* seriously quite relaxing hahas.

and then it was MNO lecture where he gave away 50 bucks (yes again) but this time with no conditions/ tricks involved. lol..lucky guy who got it!
I'm kinda looking forward to the ZOE Film Festival cos i've never been to the UCC before (yess suaku me after like wad 3 years).

under my umbrella, will you?

7:42 PM, Friday, November 06, 2009

Received 5-6 compliments today...LOL and all in 1 tutorial!
got back our project results, it's a decent grade (but everyone has decent grades soOO it all depends on the bell curve. AGAIN.)

i dunno about the other classes but i can tell everyone in my class put in alot of effort (in filming, in video editing, in aesthetics) on top of all the academic requirements we had to fulfill.

didn't manage to post it but here it is, our 2 mins trailer. The actual 10min video is more technical so unless u've been in MNO class, the back parts won't make much entertainment sense hahas. But if you're interested, you can youtube it yourself~

this trailer was done @ 2+am becos of the big problem we had before 2am lolsss and i couldn't sleep until I was sure everything's fine. All my group members worked really hard, esp. Shihui and Caroline becos they lived in hall so they had to fix everything up before the deadline day =|. Altho not a great loOking video, it's still ours and mine and I will still cherish it!

i just wanna blog.

1:22 AM,

when is xiao mei going to come back.
i'm watching Bull Fighting again
i miss him =(((

school's gonna end in like a week.
OH GOD time flies once again...alright the 1st 6 weeks were kinda slow but after tt it toOk off like a bullet train.
Though i've been complaining of the multiple assignments and group meetings, i appreciate that i gotta know more niceee frens this sem! lolsss.

hopefully we can get to take the same modules again even tho we may be doing different stuff/ in different faculties.
yes and hang out during the hols~

i guess when u don go thinking about smth's possibly going to end, it won't happen.

kudos to me who's still thinking positively at this point in time!

it can't any better anymoreee.

12:12 AM, Thursday, November 05, 2009

haiz.
seriously i think tt's the only word tt sums it up.

can't believe it's exams soOon.
i'm really honestly not prepared this time. i shld be pulling up my socks real hard. zzZzzz.

and this itch is literally killing me. SHIT.
hope it's smth that can be cured like real soon.
dunno why and how it happened.

feeling a bit moody now.

relieved?

9:36 PM, Monday, November 02, 2009

<3 fahrenheit =))) my long awaited fahrenheit drama no.1 is here! quite a ridiculous plot LOLS.

wheeee. finally i can relax a little!!
i was actually half skipping home after i handed in my soci paper lOls.
the past 3 weeks have really a mad rush with pressing deadlines & stress from juggling and multi-tasking.
sad to say, i din complete weeksss of readings and so my reading week's got alot of catching up to do.

note to self: i don't think i wanna do a video project again. The process is fun with filming and i personally like video editing but it takes a toll on my time when i have other things to concentrate on. But i guess my group really bonded and it was such a joy to watch the video =)...no matter how not great it is, i guess being ur own creation, u can't help but feel a sense more of pride in it lols.

holidays seem so far away but my mind's not thinking of that yet. holidays will come but i still have LOADS (or 100%) of stuff not clear...pls don't come so quickly till i can't catch my breath. i wanna go slow~
