Erm...
Yeah, my exams are done, and right now, I am slacking my mind away until my new semester which is...NEXT WEEK!!! T_T...
Yups..one week of rest and a new term is here to stay. But then again, the new semester will be my LAST semester so I am kinda dreading and anticipating it at the same time. Dreading the day where I have to start working and Anticipating the day where I can draw my first pay!!! XD~
Oh, last Saturday, I went to WCG and saw alot of WARCRAFT game tournaments~! Yes, I am a Warcraft III fan but I am not good at playing the game..Why?
Simple, I am slow at controlling, I can't coordinate my mind and hands and whenever my army attacks, my army will just get disorganised after a short while, which IS NOT GOOD!
But then again, practice makes perfect, so there you go. If I REALLY want to play it well, I will have to learn those gamers by sitting in front of the computer like 12 hours a day and just FOCUS! -_-'' like hell I will..
And EOY is happening in around 2 weeks time. My costume update? Well, I should be collecting my costume next week, my wig probably this Saturday. I need to collect my spoilt katana from req to fix it, and I need to fix the THIRTEEN symbol on my captain's coat. I think that's all I need to do..haha..
And after EOY, comes Christmas. I don't celebrate Christmas but since it is a public holiday, I will have time off from my studies. Unfortunately, December/January will be my busiest time through the semester, with all the project deadlines and exams preparation.
And then, A NEW YEAR! *GASPS*
Freaking hell, a new year approaches slowly and steadily. New year means I'm going to be OLDER AGAIN! But then again, I will have new clothes for Chinese New Year~! Whee...
I sound like a dumb blonde who dyed her hair black..-__-''
I need to make New Year Resolutions. Last year, I didn't make any because I think resolutions are a waste of time. But I think I should have one now to train my discipline. I NEED DISCIPLINE! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!! (no...not that kind with the whips..-__-'')
*coughs* Oh, I am abstaining myself from chocolates now, which is a good thing. Imagine a MARS bar has around 1000 plus calories, and we girls just need 2000 calories everyday. So how many extra calories you consumed if you include breakfast, lunch and dinner??! Unless you exercise, those extra calories will be added to your body as FATS! *groans* Of course, this abstinence will probably last till Christmas..hehehe...
Oh, and these few days, my mind is just repeating a song, which I have heard in Class 95 FM. It's called More than words and i REALLY love it~ Is kinda old but who cares when the lyrics are so nice~ so here goes the lyrics~!
More than Words
By Extreme
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words

S**T....I am seriously lagging from my notes writing..
AND SO, I decided, ladies and gentleman, cosplayers and anime watchers, friends and acquaintances, that I am not going to be online for the next 2 weeks. YESH, You heard me, I am going to be very f**king strict with myself.
Of course, I may once awhile log in awhile to check my mails and the forum, but I won't be in MSN until the day I finishes my exams. So if you have ANYTHING, to ask about anything, either email me, comment in that box on the left side of this blog, or sms/call me. I am easily contactable~ ^_^
Take care folks in the meantime, I'll miss you all~ T_____T''

November...thats fast. The last time I log in was in mid-October..and within a matter of weeks, November comes.
Coming to the end of year 2005 is comforting but sad as well. Comforting because there are too many things happening in this year and I hoped that next year would be a better year instead. Alittle sad because this year is too eventful and provided me with so many good and sad memories. In a way, I hate to say goodbye to it, because who knows, I may begin to forget those happenings in the future. Well, I think I will not...this year have truly been impactful and I will remember the year 2005 clearly.
Anyway, I haven't been blogging because I was kinda busy slacking away..hahah...and of course, I have started writing my study notes for my exams in mid November. Nothing exciting to report for the moment~ ^_^ I think I will take 2 weeks hiatus from Internet because it is TOTALLY distracting me~ Y__Y''
Anyway, been listening to many songs from Lush 99.5FM. Come on, it wasn't that bad...and the music definitely sooths my soul~ And you can just melt into your chair, or on the bed if you just enjoy the slow and smooth music~
Requiem gave me two mandarin songs a few days ago and I am playing them right now. The first is Jay Chou's song from his new album and the second is a song from the Taiwanese drama Mars. Both sounded sad but I definitely prefer Jay Chou's.
Strangely, I have been listening to songs sung by male singers and the songs are mostly about their partner leaving them. Totally ironic...why am I listening to such songs..I remembered when I was about to break up with my ex, I was in love with Jie Kou by Jay Chou. And I sang Zhen Shi by A*mei while I was karaoke-ing..I don't why I actually listen to such songs...-___-''
Anyway, I caught the movie Sympathy for Lady Vengeance on Monday. Was supposed to go with Xiaobai but when we got there, the ticket attendant refused to close one eye just because XB is not 18 years old yet (SHE'S 17!! T_T) XB told me to go ahead and I went to catch it while she hung at the library.
The movie tells a tale of a woman who was involved in a kidnapping and when her partner kills the kid, he forced her to confess by kidnapping her baby. Jailed for 13 years in prison, she schemed and plotted her revenge. In the meantime, she helped many comrades in prison and because of that, they are willing to help her with her plans. She came out, donning red eyeshadow and started working in a bakery shop. Once she was out, she started to implement her plans slowly and carefully. Well, I shall not spoil the plot out, but just for your info, the bad man died in the end.
The woman was played by Lee Yeong-ae, who was the star of the hottest Korean drama epic, Jewel in the Palace (or Dae Jang Geum). Unlike her kind and sweet role in the drama serial, her role for the movie is darker, crazier and scarier. She really portrayed the woman (Lee Geum-ja)'s character well; her frustrations, her sinister side, her longing for her daughter, her crazy moments...everything.
The director, Park Chan-wook directed a beautiful and artistic movie out. Even though the show has lots of bloody moments, he does it so beautifully and hidden that you won't feel the scenes revolting. In the movie, sarcastic and twisted humor are also used so even serious scenes can be amusing as well.
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is the last of his trilogy movies. His first two vengeance movies (Old Boy and Sympathy for Mr Vengeance)are darker and bloodier. For Lady Vengeance, the direction was towards a more feminine and beautiful shot of anger and vengeance. It is definitely a must watch~ ^_^ For 18 and above only though~ But, take the movie as a pinch of salt...
Revenge as a redemption is never the solution.
