Why, I feel accomplished. And wow, look at the time. 555. Kamen Rider is it. Lolx. I just sent an email to Morita-sensei at 0555h. Gosh. I hope she thinks I wake up early instead of I sleep very late. If she notices the time at all.

( Japanese short essay practice for Morita-sensei. 801 words. )

I actually spent much more time looking for an article (3h) to respond to and reading up background knowledge (1h) than on writing it (less than 1h).

( Chinese essay on 江淹《效阮公诗十五首》. 4570 words. )

Sorry I don't love 江淹. It's rather boring. The only part I had fun writing was the 《易经》 part.

I wonder if it's Sawajiri Erika or Toda Erika. The world has just became a better place. Er no this is not about real life Erika(s). I thank Dokkun for having a huge fanbase that includes one of my favourite fic writers and I thank today for being Dokkun's birthday. For something that has been on hiatus ever since Dokkun's birthday last year I'm rather overjoyed that it suddenly got updated twice in like 2 weeks.

Haha I'm still so not into mugging yet. CH3221 exam is in exactly 7 days' time! Taihen da.

Sign that I am actually working on assignments: I pull out the tablet from my laptop.

*starting on CH3221 like, finally*

Thanks to it I'm now reading up on 易经. Aren't I happy that I actually have 易经 with 白话翻译 at home. Lolx. Oh well. It's much easier to understand as compared to 庄子 anyway.

The way it's pouring every day now makes me happy. I like rain. And rainy days. I miss this kind of pouring kind of rain. I was rather sick of the drizzling/heavy drizzling in Japan. I like thunderstorms that rain so hard that umbrellas aren't of any use. And I will walk back home with my umbrella inside my bag.

看到外面下雨让我有点想写诗耶。

3 simple steps to lead to my misery:

1. Er, still rely on your mother to wake you up at this age.

2. Said person wakes you up at 11am instead of 8am.

3. You have a lesson at 10am. Takes attendance, and you know no one there.

Maa. What can I say? Anyone can tell that it's my fault at the end. But then. I may be careless but I have never set alarm clock to 11am when I need to wake up at 8am before (SO WHO IS THE CARELESS ONE NOW????). WHY DOES EVERYTHING BAD HAPPEN DURING CH3221?? I know a lot of people pon even though got take attendance, but I'm NOT ready to tackle 郭璞 on my own!!! Even yumegal only wrote a lot of stuff for the first poem on her 郭璞 notes (the rest are empty!!). And who knows what hints sensei decides to give for writing essay/exam today!!!

Sigh. I seriously don't know anyone in the class eh... don't have anyone to ask what happened in class. だから一人でクラス取るの嫌なんだよ。 So how leh. The blank notes very intimidating leh...

A&G生放送見ましたよ（聞きました？）。OLDCODEXデビューおめでとうイエイ！自由過ぎタイムありがとう！ライブcresc.かっこよかったです。私のCDは12月にならないと手に入らないけど、ライブ頑張ってくださいね。密かに応援してます。ちなみにライブグッズはTシャツがいいです。

小林ゆうの（仮）いろんな意味ですごい過ぎる。かわいいね。かわいいけどやっぱり不思議だなこの子。

Maa maa. To celebrate finishing the CH3221 presentation I re-watched K8's Puzzle con today. I have the urge to rewatch it again now. Haha 2 times in a row? It's quite amazing that although I haven't been listening to K8 for quite some time now, I can still sing... some of the songs without looking at lyrics. Like Mugendai. Lolx. ファンの基本中の基本だねあの曲は。 I am still an Eighter right from the heart ne! I shall dig out the rest of the cons to rewatch some time soon.

One thing I learnt today is that "happy birthday" in Italian is "buon compleanno".

That is from the rush of "buon compleanno Tsuna"s on Teburo. And there I was wondering why Tsuna's tag was a hot tag today.

Buon compleanno, Tsuna!

Maa I'm a nice person.

Secondly, I'm not succumbing to Inazuma Eleven because of Teburo. NO. Although... I thought it was quite interesting for that few eps that I watched. Hey I like kiddy nekketsu shows ok. Just that I'm not a very soccer person.

I am being random because JS is making me miserable.

Morita sensei emailed and said "Rikkyo asks for your results for JLPT2."

What can I say...

I am in half give-up mode now.

FOR ONCE! I actually know the poem that appears at the start of each chara's route in Haruka series. For some reason a lot of Riz-sensei's lines are chinese poetry and his route's poem is... something that I found very familiar so I went to search for it.

人生代代无穷已，江月年年只相似。
不知江月待何人，但见长江送流水。

I was totally like... why does this sound so familiar!!! And it turns out to be 张若虚's 《春江花月夜》!!! Lolx. Remember studying this in CH1101e but since my brain does lot work well with memorizing poems. Lolx. I remember laughing the first time Riz-sensei started quoting 李白's《将进酒》 because the next day Su-sensei was talking about how it copy 鲍照's 《拟行路难》. Maa anyway since I went to look for it I was reading the 赏析 of these lines... Hmm from what I know about Riz-sensei's route... (BEWARE OF SPOILERS) how he is doing xxx and xxx because all along he knew he would be a hachiyou and it is all for being of help to the ryuujin no miko... 难不成他是拿江月自比吗？ But as a general guideline I thought all the moons in Haruka 3 refers to Nozomi. If it refers to Nozomi... then is it supposed to mean that he had seen Nozomi in many different 時空s and he don't know what/who Nozomi is waiting for...(END OF SPOILERS)

The other funny thing was when Hinoe started reciting 詩經. I was like OMG LOLX. 關鳩 eh!! Apparently it looks like this in Japanese:

関関（かんかん）たる雎鳩（しょきゅう）は河の洲にあり
窈窕（ようちょう）たる淑女は君子の好逑（こうきゅう）

You ask me how come 16 words can become so long... er I also dunno. Oh but I think I like Nozomi best in Hinoe's route. It's the only route where she is a bit more clever! She actually could discuss with Hinoe about strategies eh! Which doesn't happen in other routes. I was so surprised that she knows about 聲東擊西之計 being one of the 三十六計 ok (why don't they put the furigana there... I have no idea how to read this in Japanese eh). And randomly I like Masaomi's ED best so far (Rokudai-kun... omg so cute can!! It makes you like Koremori, really).

I feel like a CH major/JS minor instead at the moment lolx. Because obviously I have never heard of all the Japanese poems in the game other than the 千はやふる神にいのりの etc one.

Oh I forgot that the main point was that I wanted to say I dyed my hair again and it ended up a bit too light. So phoenixhime, my advice to you is that leave the dye on for longer than the time stipulated on the instructions. The colour will become more obvious. Hontou ni. I was reading my Toshokan Kakumei and forgot about the time... Instruction says 20-30 minutes I ended up washing it off after 55 minutes instead.

Sigh. This is so discouraging. I went to school today to ask about the Rikkyo U scholarship thing. Beng Beng says, just apply first and see how. Ok that is perfectly fine. But I found another person who is also applying for this. And I suddenly felt my chances of getting it down to less than 1 percent. Maa I chotto know this person from Japanese 5... 4th year doing honours who also just got back from 1 year SEP, got her JLPT 1. Ok fine, maybe I didn't have much chance too before realizing she is applying, but you can always ignore the fact that there is competition when you don't see them in front of your eyes.

Sigh. My mum (and most people around me) will probably say, you haven't try how will you know. そりゃごもっともですけどさ。 Still.

Interview is apparently during reading week, and apparently there is a written exam. Omg. If it's normal entrance exams I can die liao. Imagine how I will die for maths.

So anyway I'm feeling uber sian now.

やっぱりこう、夢は夢であって現実ではない？ってとこですか。

[Edit] Morita-sensei emailed me and told me Beng Beng realized that there is actually more than 1 place and told me to apply. Lolx. She sent me the application form... and it's MEXT again =.= Maa the difference is that this time nationality dun matter bah. And then this time it's for enrolling in the school not for exchange. Will have interview and written Japanese exam... I will apply lar yup.

Not that I really want to complain.

Of the no life-ness of life in Singapore.

Now I'm really really regreting not buying that TakaKuku doujinshi. (Not that it has to do with anything.)

One week in NUS makes me feel TUFS modules are so super slack. (Ok fine. Most of those I took. Cos well. I agree that learning a new language is hard.)

I think it's mostly because NUS (or most SG unis?) are more results oriented.

The only good thing that is happening this sem is that Su-sensei's mod with that essay = I don't have to soak myself in the chinese library forever. Analysing poems that no one analysed before. I think that really tests your ability bah. Rather than copy and paste abilities that those papers that require you to do literature review and find other ppl's views that support your argument =.=

And the other good thing is that I'm probably going to treat Science of Music as an invisible module = S/U. I need to find a concert to watch to write an essay on. Can I write on the AN's live I went to not long ago xD Though I have zero knowledge to crap on how was the sound system and etc. I can only say that it's definitely much better than the Expo Max Pavillion one. Which is rather pointless.

Let's see how I die for the rest of the modules.

I totally forgot I had a physics module that have to ballot tutorials in iteration 1. And totally missed 1A. OTZ. *headdesk*

Randomly I'm once again in the mood to watch joshi volley again this year. Suzu is the narrator!

Just as I was going to get sentimental and write about the melancholies of leaving Japan, I SAW THE EMAIL AND I DIDN'T GET GEK1501. SIANZZZZ. SIGH. I'll probably be taking CL1101E instead. Since it doesn't really clash with anything else and yumegal says Lam Lam and Huili are taking it. Although I don't really know them that well. Sigh. Another semester of me being in chinese lessons more than JS. 1 CH 3000 and 2 CL eh (1000 and 2000). Lolx.

TBC.

I don't usually like Iemon's tea but this is nice! It's rather... tasteless compared to the normal Iemon tea but I think it has a rather... idk, high-class? Taste. Lolx. Other than this I like Kirin's Namacha!

1. Argh. Stupid. This is getting complicated BEFORE it even reaches CLS.

2. My timetable for this week is crazy. I miss study breaks and exam weeks when there are no lessons!

3. My timetable for Sem 5 is horrible too. As I've been publicizing on MSN. Ma, I hate your 3-day week. Why are my timetables horrible every single sem!

4. I hope I pass tomorrow's exams. I JUST NEED TO PASSSSS. It's very hard to concentrate on just studying when there are 1-3 to worry about. Round 0 for CORS bidding starts on Thursday. I'm contemplating whether to place advance bids for all modules in round 0. I will not, WILL NOT let my timetable get any worse. I don't have time to check out past bidding records D: At least need to check out GEK1501 and GEK1517 (or was it 1519. Science of Music anyway). CL2280 and CH...yunwen... 3xxx (lolx) should be 1pt as usual. JS2225 should have been prelocated from module preference exercise...

Stupid question that might not be that stupid after all:

To declare an Honours track, students must have completed 110 MCs, including 60 MCs in the Major, with a CAP of 3.5 and above.

- How do you complete 110MCs?? That is 27.5 modules! Does it mean we can only declare AFTER sem 6? Or do they want us to overload for 3 sems?

And well. The requirements for JS4000 modules = Students in 2001 cohort and after must have completed 80 MCs, of which at least 28 MCs should fulfil the JS shared major requirement.

- 28!! That's 7 modules. I think I'm definitely taking some in Sem 6. Thanks to this I think I confirm not writing HT le.

I should negotiate with CLS very, very soon. If I can manage it = 20MCs this sem (= I need 36MCs/9mods only) then sem 6 I might try to do 2 4000 mods. Sem 5 normal load, sem 6 will be 4 mod. 4 mod with 2 4000 and 1 CH 3000 is bad enough lolx. If I don't get LAJ6 in the end I think I might try to do 6 mods in Sem 5 again. 自殺行為。

Somehow my current playlist (when I'm not playing my Hetalia list. Or SH list) is completely female with the exception of our dear Lovino with his tomatoes. Ok Kagamine Len is another one but... technically the original voice is not male? Lolx. Which doesn't happen often actually. Given the nature of my obsessions.

( The list itself. )

Randomly. Yukarin's Mero~n no Theme is crazily addictive. As is WONDER MOMO-i.

1. Met Deborah-san with Doraemon-san today. The moment she saw me she opened her Laruku fanclub mag to show me. Lolx. Apparently she sent a lot of stuff to the school address during her time there so everyone, I think your orders are safe, lolx. She passed me point cards for different places! Important one = ANIMATE. And karaoke! And where to get free stuff. And she said she will pei me go around when she go Japan in May (for one month eh!) haha. Oh and apparently her friend got a 内定 with a company in Japan as a freelance translator. WHICH MEANS this is apparently not just a dream! But I have to deal with my 3 years SG bond though. And Deborah-san say she wants to get a job as Laruku's fanclub manager. Lolx.

2. Met up with foursome as early bdae celebration for YQ and me! Like finally, how long haven't we met together? Anyway it was fun trying to hide this from YQ and they tried to hide this from me. Totally fail though. Haha. And KX got a polaroid camera! Haha so we got this poor passerby to take 4 pics for us so we each had one. Thanks a lot for the cake and present! And nice dinner out.

3. CLS is dumb. DUMB.

4. I'm tired. And I still have to do homework for tmr's TB =.= Why am I torturing myself.

I was reading Ryouko-chan's blog and I suddenly noticed 案の定. Lolx. That was in today's lecture!

Btw. Beng Beng actually replied me on Friday. My eyes just decided to conveniently skip over her email when checking. Lolx.

She told me to find her at 1.40pm on monday. っていうか今日。

Yay.

A:　ねえ、ちょっと聞いてくれる？
B:　うん、なに？
A:　実はね、彼がね、最近の様子がちょっと変なの。
B:　え、何があったの？
A:　それがね、誘ってもいつも忙しいと言うし、電話してもすぐ切られちゃうし…私のこと、飽きちゃったのかな…
B:　そんなことないよ！この間だってAちゃんのこと大好きって言ってたじゃん。
A:　だって！こんなに冷たくされたことないのよ、私！どうすればいいかわかんないよ…
B:　まあ、本当に忙しいかもしれないじゃない？もうすぐ期末試験だしね。そこまで気になるなら、彼の友達のCくんの聞いてみればどう？Cくんなら口もゆるいし、秘密とかがあっても絶対守れないと思うよ。
A:　あ、そういえばそうかも！今聞いてくるね。ありがとう、Bちゃん！

今週のTBの宿題のスキット作り。いやー、我ながら上出来だと思いますよこれ。Aちゃんにはちょっと（？）裏設定がございまして…いわゆるヤンデレであることです。Bちゃんの方はいつも彼女の恋の相談に乗ってるけどもううんざりみたいです。まあとにかく私は今回のスキットが大好きということで。出来れば恭子ちゃんと奏江をイメージして読んでください。つまり麻里奈ちゃんと早水さんの声で。ヤンデレの設定とは全然関係ないのですが。

いい加減なこと思いつかないDxまあいっぱいあるけど…宿題ネタとかｵﾀネタが。また先生にサラッと怒られそうでちょっと書けない…いつもこの例を挙げて下さいの問題が一番難産ですよね。もう本当にいい加減にしてくれよ！

すみません、愚痴ばかりで…

Ok. I don't know whether I want to stab TUFS or NUS or just CLS. *STAB*

JS Dept: I didn't notice that you weren't Singaporean!

Well, which means, "no you cannot apply for MEXT scholarship because it's only open to Singaporeans".

晴れ晴れした心境です。

I'm rather relieved that I can't go actually. I have rather planned out what I want to take in NUS next sem anyway...

Lolx.

The only thing I'm bu shuang about was the SGD80+ for the health check up.

[Edit] Why is this so freaking true =.=
