the lab report's in, 2.4's over and i'm feeling a hell lot better than i have this whole week.
okay, some stuff to gush about.
1. i love this line from UVERworld's ハイ!問題作 (from the new album LAST).
あの曲が好き “はかないえいきゅうの…なんとか”
the shameless advertising, the acknowledgment of the countless mispronunciations of 儚くも永久のカナシ and the way takuya∞ says it is just ... cute. (the "∞" is obligatory :D) ohmigod so cute. it's disturbing how i am taking to the cutest song in the whole album so quickly.
2. FMA. was/ is 震撼! (i'm sorry that's not grammatically correct.) i'm not sure about the stage of progression of the plot, things still seem to be happening.
3. THE SHANGHAI EXPO INTERNATIONAL MUSIC EXTRAVAGANZA ANGMOH GUY. okay, i went to do research: he's called Vitas and he's russian. OMG HIS VOICE. O: his falsetto is so pure! i bid all aspiring tenors to go listen! and his range!! i've heard guys go higher, but never while singing a chinese song about mountains and rivers. it makes your hairs stand on ends.
he just owned about everyone else invited, IMO. (who cares about Rain? *shrugs*)
4. watch this.
apple fans, i'm really sorry. P: even i winced when he started smashing it. the iPad is truly beautiful even with all its problems with flash. watch it in HD! it's all the more morbidly fascinating. if it catches your fancy, you can also go watch him blend lightsticks, magnets, fake diamonds and other equally interesting stuff.
it was flitting around the lights, a rare visitor to a bad place of attraction. since it looked like it was going to get a concussion banging its head on the lights, we decided to switched them off.
it crash-landed into the night's dinner, which happened to be laksa.
my sis immediately ran off screaming (interesting, because she only started screaming when it hit the bowl and not when it hit the lights).
my dad, however, who meant well when he turned off the lights, rushed to fish it out of the gravy like a paramedic who just dropped the handles of the stretcher while the injured was on it.
he then brought it out to the corridor and tried to wipe it dry with tissue paper. its wings were all stuck together and it couldn't do much except crawl around lopsided. (it seemed to like the tissue paper.) it was a rare sight - a grown man being exceedingly gentle to a flailing insect. it made me smile.
when i last checked, the butterfly could open its wings but it wasn't flying around. it made my sis and i remember the stuff in our old bio textbooks about oil spills and wings.
butterflies are so frail.
my mum thinks my dad has just lost all his karma he has worked so hard to achieve in his life. i think (and i hope) he just gained some.
thanks for everything, guys! for sticking through all that crappy stuff the school made us do together. i miss working in a group; J2 consists of a lot of fending for yourself. i'll treasure the piece of paper. and the experience. (all the work will probably have to go to make way for other things, though.)
and by the way, you all still owe me money for the WR. heheh.
well, everything turned out to be good and i'm glad things happened the way they did! looking at people getting their results was also quite interesting. ;D as for the guy who spread the rumour, you can jolly well go and hang yourself. but still, i suppose it's undeniably our own fault for believing it.
just 3 days and we're all sinking back into our old lifestyles - mugging, sleeping, stoning, staying under shelter.
there's no jap on friday, which means i can finally (!) not worry about the time in H3! since jap screwed my schedules i think i've learnt to treasure lessons more.
--
now's release season! new singles from ajikan amd UVERworld, new albums from LM.C and sakanaction! (UVER's album art blinds me.) :D
bonded with old friends, made new friends, learnt new words, saw things in a different light.
i think one of the most meaningful things to me was jap, where we got to exchange views, questions stereotypes and know what other people think of us singaporeans.
we also talked a lot. i learned a lot.
lots of mixed feelings.
but for now, let me live my old life. (homework ah!)
