Hana Yori Dango

One of the japanese dramas that I cried for. You know, I personally don't think it's that sad at all, but I don't know why it was so touching. Well, it resulted in watching the series 3 days in a row, WHILE having exams, 9 episodes long, and finishing it on a Saturday. What a great achievement. I was touched by my achievement. =P

Originally a manga, and adapted by Taiwanese production, which made the show suck, now makes a come back by the Japanese themselves, with leading roles Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun. It started broadcast on the 21st of October 2005, that makes this drama quite new, and that means I'm not that outdated afterall. Hehe... Well, hope I don't get my facts wrong.

What I like most while watching is when the song Planetarium, sung by Ootsuka Ai, comes out during the climax of every episode. It really brings out that feeling, and of course, with her brilliant voice and the mood of the song that she brought out really well, it touches the audience everytime. Applause!

Worth the watch again.

Another year older

It was very surprising that people that I didn't expect, wished me a happy birthday 2 days ago. Moreover, my closest friends here even took some time to celebrate it with me after dinner unexpectedly too, together with TWO cakes and a birthday song.

As you would have guessed, I'm in the midst of my finals now, so it's a rare chance that I actually take some time off to write my blog carefreely... I slept last night for about 5 hours from 2am to 6am (due to my alarm) and woke up finally at 7am. If you think that isn't enough of sleep, you should hear about my tosses and turns on the day before my first exam, which was exactly on the day of my birthday. After my Probability exam today, I came back and slept for one hour, left for the maths building to study with my friend for the paper tomorrow, and slept againw when I came back, realising how tiring it is to start doing practice for the exam tomorrow on only one day.

How were the papers? So far, I've only sat for 2 papers, and so far, it has been alright, though admitting that both are quite hard. By tomorrow, I would have finished 2 of the 3 most difficult papers this year and the heaviest weightage on credit hours (here, we call them CATS). Just hoping that the exam tomorrow won't be that hard, so that I can do OK without having to remember the proofs and writing proofs. (hehehehe....)

Will be having dinner later. Oh, did I mention I burnt my own non-stick pot while trying to make green bean 'tong sui'? That resulted in going over to my friend's place for dinner every night now. Well, I have a reason to do so, since I wanted to finish off my food before I leave back to KL right? (yay! 11 days more!!)

Hope you guys (whoever is reading this, and as if anyone reads it, since I've never received much comments ever since) wish me luck for the exams. I'd really need it ;)

O deary..

I've sent my phone for repairs since 3 days ago, and as usual, I would've left out something. Wanna guess? I'll let you guess for the moment... *snickers*

My life has been overturned by *evil* exams. And you can never guess what I've been doing these days: I've been playing Might and Magic IX about 40% of my time. Unpredictable? You're right.

Thankfully, I'm almost finished with my IB104 (Mathematical Programming) assignment. I was shown to the light at 10pm last night. That was amazing. Doing the questions today was a breeze (sorta).

I've noticed something odd recently. I've still got loads of Malaysian products with me, and planning to finish them before I go back. Surprisingly, it's less than a month till my flight back. (There exists a God...)

Oh well. It's a good thing. A few days of stress can make me feel so calm and peaceful now. Imagine how much I've gone through just because of exams and tests.
PS: I left out the "return to" address on the back. Hope the package is safely posted to the manufacturer...

What a nice day to relax

Exactly 2 more weeks till my exams officially starts, and guess what? It falls on my birthday! How about that?

Finally finished all my notes-reading, and I'm supposed to be starting on my past year papers this week and next week. Time does fly, and the next thing you know, I'm already back in KL. How lovely...

My friends came over to my room and had a really nice chat from 5.30pm to 9.30pm. In case you don't know how to count, that's 4 hours. I can't believe my day was mostly used to chat with my friends. But I had fun and enjoyed it. See the contradiction?

Anyway, I gotta go back watching the next episode of House MD. It's so darn freaking nice! (Cheers to my studies!)

What lovely weather!














Yeah right. The weather is lovely. Look at those 2 pics I just took. Aren't they lovely? Sunshine, chlorophyll green grass. What more do you want? Best of all, it's not even hot!

Such nice weather, how is it possible to study? You see, I get distracted by the beautiful view from my window, and the desire to return back to my homeland (since the end of the most recent Economics test, which I did quite well, and panicked so badly before the test that I slipped while coming out of the shower room [notice there weren't any mat, which was obviously hung up to dry near the sink, and I didn't pay attention to] and bumped myself on the butt on cold hard floor, which in turn made a stinging shock on my back which lasted for a while).

It was a miracle today to awaken at the earliest time I've ever attended to these few months: 6am. And guess what? It was shining like it was already noon! Bloody sunlight shining on my eyes (let me sleep!)...!

Life goes on. It's nice to rant at 10.30 in the morning, being woken up by the weather and still grumpy from not getting my sleep.
