I don't want to number my posts anymore.

As usual, when I finish one essay, I like to blog.

So, yes I finally completed my politics term paper. I can't say its a very fantastic paper but I guess I am quite satisfied with it. In fact, I do not know if the essay came to a conclusion on its own or if I forced it to conclude because it is due in... 8 hours time.

Politics is pretty difficult to write, especially when you are trying to write about ONE aspect of it. As you write on one aspect, another one comes into mind and it just links and links and links and the whole essay becomes crazily clustered and clumsy. Besides that, you are never sure if you hit the nail right where it should be and you tell yourself, "maybe I need to write about this, and that, and this, and..." and by the time you write all that, you've probably strayed off your main thesis. I needed to reorganise my essay after I wrote it because it was in such a complete mess. But still nonetheless, I really thank God I finished it.

An "uncle" incident happened again yesterday.

I got into the lift to go to school and there was this mother/grandma/guardian with a little toddler.

"UNCLE!"

I was taken aback, but managed a smile anyway.

*in chinese* "He's not uncle lah, is KOR KOR. Is KOR KOR, okay?" *laughs politely*

*I managed to produce a smile*

At least the mother/grandma/guardian engaged in some sort of damage control.

And yeah, my laptop is running Windows 7! :D :D No big deal actually. It looks very much like Vista and isn't anymore convenient or user-friendly. Things do run a little faster now, but my battery life bleeds like free.

Okay, I want to sleep already.

Oh ya, I feel good about the comms studies test this morning. :D Staying up till 4am to study turns out to be pretty good decision!

I know I should be doing my papers, but I DON'T WANT TO DO THEM!! Give me a break, I want to blog once in awhile as well.

I was listening to my dad singing on karaoke and was wondering what those lyrics in hokkien mean. Surely they must mean something because it just so happens to be the no.1 song for all uncles to sing (ask your dad if you don't believe me). So, I took the trouble to go online, found the lyrics in chinese (I can still read chinese! A little) and translated it into english so I can understand.

Here's what I produced :D Well, song first.



Song: I ASK SKY

Wind very angry, Rain also very angry
Angry that I got no courage~~
Love also gone, ?????
Think you think you don't know got what meaning
The four worlds listen, ?? got your information
My feelings and you tie till die die!!

I ASK SKY! I ASK SKY! ??????
To love you again, is like torture myself
I ASK SKY! I ASK SKY! ??????
Feel like forgetting quickly, somehow I got drunk for ten years
The rain outside the window, can say is men's tears
Don't want to face the reality and got drunk in dreams for ten years

~DRAMATIC MUSIC~

Hey er... just wanna let everybody know that I am still alive... ack, what I am saying.

Well, I just completed my essay and thought its a good time to blog a little... considering that I do not know when exactly I will be able to blog next.

I feel very encouraged and at the same time disappointed when I received the results of my first graded assignment. Its just a little writing (nothing near being an essay) for my writing class, and I got an A-. That's the encouraging part. The disappointing part is this: I missed out on the A because of.... GRAMMATICAL ERRORS! Vomit blood. How could I still make grammatical mistakes at this level... why I was using inconsistent tenses, I do not know.

Anyway, I was... I would say irritated, irked, annoyed by someone (that I do not know) while I was going home this evening. This is what happened:

I reached the station, stood at the exit and prepared to get out of the train. As the door opened, there was this woman who stood in my way (I mean, this is something I see almost all the time, considering we are in Singapore).

And guess what?

She said "EXCUSE ME", and in an irritated tone somemore.

GRRRRR! EXCUSE ME?? Well, EXCUSE ME, woman, you are the one blocking MY way. Which part of "Please allow passengers to ALIGHT BEFORE BOARDING" do you not understand? Do you not understand what those lines and arrows in yellow on the floor mean???

EXCUSE ME??

I'm afraid Singaporean's courtesy level has reached a new low...

.... I should get some sleep now.

I love what I found today. You may find the full article at here.

If Prince Hamlet came back from the dead, would his indecision be meaningful? If King Lear recovered, would we learn from his folly? And if Aerith were disinterred mere hours after her death, would her sacrifice have any importance? Square should be honored that the death of a character brings about this outcry. It is touching testament to the games' power: the characters are truly loved. And grief is a natural reaction to the death of a loved one. As is denial. Now, Square fans must proceed to the next stage: acceptance.

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain. I am the soothing, gentle rain.
When you awake in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.
