looking back at all those posts... [some deleted...]

the silent, full of attitude me and not forgetting full of "huh?"

[heh]

[note: although i tried to change the "huh?" part of me... it still popped out occassionally...]

Akatsuki no Kuruma 暁の車

作詞  梶浦 由記
作曲  梶浦 由記
唄   南里 侑香

風さそう木陰に俯せて泣いてる 
見も知らぬ私を私が見ていた
逝く人の調べを奏でるギターラ 
来ぬ人の嘆きに星は落ちて

行かないで、どんなに叫んでも 
オレンジの花びら静かに揺れるだけ
やわらかな額に残された 
手のひらの記憶遥か
とこしえのさよならつま弾く

優しい手にすがる子供の心を 
燃えさかる車輪は振り払い進む
逝く人の嘆きを奏でてギターラ 
胸の糸激しく掻き鳴らして

悲しみに染まらない白さで 
オレンジの花びら揺れてた夏の影に
やわらかな額を失くしても 
赤く染めた砂遥か越えて行く
さよならのリズム

思い出を焼き尽くして進む大地に 
懐かしく芽吹いて行くものがあるの

暁の車を見送って 
オレンジの花びら揺れてる今も何処か
いつか見た安らかな夜明けを 
もう一度手にするまで
消さないで灯火 
車輪は廻るよ

Romanji Version

What am i... doing???

=.='

long overdue for a update eh...

been doing nothing much...

'cept that it's

PROJECT !!! [ECPJ]
PROJECT !!! [EC]
PROJECT !!! [IPTN]
PROJECT !!! [Financial Mgt]
PROJECT !!! [Biz Comm]
PROJECT !!! [DBMS]

fortunate enough that Biz Env do not have a project for us to do. If there's a project, i 100% will do it half-heartedly [spelling ???]

got a ICA coming this friday, THE LAST FRIDAY BEFORE THE TERM BREAK AND YET THERE'S AN ICA !!! oh well, who cares... it's just E-Mail writing x 2 for 2 hours.

speaking of term break, it seems that this term break should not have been called a term break. Since i'm busy almost everyday when term break starts, which lasts only for a week, might as well call it normal school day.

Moral of the story.

do not sleep on computer desk when it's just 2 hours away to school start.

yesterday, slept at around 9pm... woke up at 2am to be disturbed by Ivan in MSN twice... played R.O.S.E. Online for a while before starting the revision for Business Environment. Studied until 6am then i decided to take a nap on my computer desk...

but wat i did not expect next... is that i would sleep all the way until 9.40am...

Me saw the clock displayed [9:40AM]
Me thought to myself: "&#&%(%#(*#^*"
Me rush to brush my teeth in 30sec
Me changed my clothes in 30sec
Me looked for my keys 1mins
Me ran to MRT station 3mins
Me take MRT 10mins
Me walked very swiftly to NYP SBM tutorial room 6mins

the test was alright i guess... but forgot most of what i've studied when i had my mind full of thinking "Can i rush to school with only 10mins" [minus off the 10mins for MRT]

rest of school for today...

played dai-dee with Jo,QiQi,Gab,SP,Tony... after DBMS tutorial... all of us 'cept QiQi cuz she worked together with Jo [=.='] had a very hard time trying to make Jo go out of the game... me, sp and tony must have gotten bad luck lately... cuz our cards are like peanuts to Jo and QiQi...

speaking of peanuts... yesterday newpaper article about the NKF... there's one part which i find truly shocking... something about Mrs Goh Chok Tong [??? dunno how to spell ???] said something like "with a few hundred millions in reserve... 600k is peanut"

AHEM!!! 600K IS PEANUT!!! ARGH!!!

For your own information, average Singaporeans earn at the most 20~24K ANNUALLY and could hardly see a 1month bonus pay at the end of each year let alone a 10~12months bonus.

the entire NKF organization should just cease to exist... cuz it's just so wrong... eg. asking local celebrities to perform dangerous stunts just to rake in more donations... maybe the entire Singapore population trusted NKF a little bit too much

although i might have the same complain to our government... by paying ministers a little bit too much... but the government said is to prevent corruption... how much of that is true... i wonder... but before they used the ISA on me... let me have the chance to use the Singapore's Constitution first... or i would be more than happy not to be a Singaporean... but whatever i stated is just my PERSONAL opinion...

Singapore Constitution: http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/non_version/cgi-bin/cgi_retrieve.pl?&actno=Reved-CONST&date=latest&method=part

[heh]

i think i would be very interesting to see Singapore and its government 20years from now...

In the middle of the night...

having sleepless night again... =.='

no choice but to blog and also do some coding...

Some Info on my dream car... [Japanese car... cuz i have no interest in European Cars or Americans Car cuz they all all too expensive in Singapore...]

Honda NSX Type-R '02



http://www.j-garage.com/honda/nsx/02r.htm

come to think of it... it was the '92 model [if i'm not wrong...] that drew me to the NSX... because of its design... not quite sure of the Acura's model of the NSX...

[if i wanted pure horsepower... i would gladly go for a 4WD like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX or Nissan Skyline GT-R [R34] =.=]

enough talk of the car... and let's just get on to

(^o^)



bought a Sony 16x CD/DVD±R/RW at Fuwell today at Sim Lim Square for about $128... with $12 going to Sony DVD-R Media, $25 for a Logitech Optical Mouse...

then proceeded to Bugis Junction's Kinokuniya Bookstore to buy this...



NewType Japan Magazine... for $16.90

this issue got illustrations on the 5 new super GUNDAMs that have or have not appeared in GSD yet... namely, ZGMF-X42S Destiny, ZGMF-X666 Legend, ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom, ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice and last but not least... GFAS-X1 Destroy

the issue also feature MS from Lacus's Faction and ZAFT's... ZGMF-XX09T Dom Trooper and ZGMF-2000 Gouf Ignite

seems like all MS has a beam shield as standard equipment...

later gonna read the future episodes spoiler...

hmm... planning to burn the first 4 episodes of GSD into DVD-Video and compare it with my VCD version... but no need to see i also know the result already...

slacking now... project building tomorrow...

Whew...

changed the blog theme after i completed the report...

for the report... i did not know there's a report for the powerpoint slides... haha... so no choice i had to do it fast and passed it to ivan who was still in school...

[if i had known i would have stayed behind... since i do not have anthing to do yet...]

somehow... we managed to complete the report... and i did not know about the rest... so have to ask ivan when he comes online later...

nothing much been happening lately... maybe going to woodlands regional library to borrow some books on ASP.NET applications... and also Database Design...

i seriously need to read up on books since my ideas are running dry...

oh ya... today's delayed biz comm ica...

Section A was something that need us to write something based on the CBO approach... guess i sort of butchered it if they are marking for format... 'cause i just anyhow wrote and handed it without much content check... Section B and C... erm... no comment...

guess tomorrow i have to go down to SLS once again... and not forgetting kinokuniya bookstore, toa payoh and woodlands regional library...

yishun library... seems like don't have much on ASP.NET since i last scanned through it last month...

[GSD] Shinkai no Kodoku

深海の孤独
作詞/作曲/編曲: 梶浦由記
唄: 桑島法子

哀しみを教えて……

瞳を閉じていたら悲しみも見えないと
温もり知らずにいれば傷つくこともないと

思い出せない優しい声を
弔う胸の海原

消え失せた過去から誰かが呼んでいるの
悲しみをこの手に取り戻す時はいつと
二度とは来ない今
貴方のことしか見えない


遠くで静かに光るやさしい船が一つ
逆巻く嘆きを乗せて胸の波間に消える

知らないはずの温もりも何故
捜して惑う海原

さざなみゆらめいて 命の船は行くよ
星ひとつ見えない波間を越えて進むよ
暗闇の向こうに
貴方の事しか見えない

いつか見てた波間静けさの方へ
海の底に消えた優しさの方へ

愛し合う未来を確かに知っているの
悲しみをこの手に取り戻すその時まで
二度とは来ない今
貴方の事しか見えない

Teach me sadness......

"If you closed your eyes, you won't gaze into sadness."
"If you forget the feeling of warmth, you won't feel pain."

I can't recall that gentle voice
In the depths of my mourning heart.

Someone is calling me from my forgetten past,
Asking me when I will take sorrow into my hands again.
At this moment that will never come twice,
You are all I can see.


A little ship glitters silently in the distant, alone.
Swept away by a torrent of grief, it disappears under the waves of my heart.

Why do I search the ocean depths aimlessly,
For the warmth that I should not have known.

Swaying with the ripples, the ship of life sails on.
Though no stars can be seen, it overcomes waves and advances on.
Beyond the darkness,
You are all I can see.

The waves that we saw are flowing towards serenity,
Flowing to the kindness that disappeared underwater.

I know that there's a future where we will love each other.
Until I take the sorrow back into my hands again,
At this moment that will never come twice,
You are all I can see.

Ran out of title name to put here... =X

stayed in school doing the assignment until i cannot even make it to kick soccer with my friends... (if there's any...)

then had a heavy dinner at KFC with fellow group members of ECPJ...

[was planning to go home straight as i was feeling sleepy... so in the end... i just called my mum to tell her that i'll be late for dinner...]

ok... 2 dinners for a day... that might be insane but have tried that before...

and the result is...

did not get to sleep for that day... the entire night...

but then again... home's dinner is quite light... so maybe i can...

...not sleep...

hehe

since tomorrow morning i have a postponed-from-last-week business communication ICA... can make use of the time to revise while i let my computer rest for a bit after i off it sometime tomorrow 1.00am...

hmm... not much happened today in school...

except that i discovered that my memory recalling is slowing down...

i can't recognize lemon barley drink for 1 minute so i have to point finger to the fridge and tell the uncle to get the drink... then the uncle asked me whether i wanted lemon barley drink or not... then i said yes and went back to sit...

hmm... purchases this coming saturday...

- 16X DVD±R/RW Dual Layer Supported ~$130
- ShatteredGalaxy code $18
- Newtype Japan Magazine $16.90

so the DVD price was not exactly what the range i was expecting...

Original Expectation: ~$250
After checking at SLS: ~$125

0.0 seems that i have lost touch on the price list at SLS since i haven't went there for quite some time already...

hmm... i go take a shower and after that go do some more coding to my not-to-be-completed-soon shopping cart...

lagging behind seriously... after comparing with other teams's shopping cart with the exception of bobby's group...

nya...

NYP sure is flooded with fans today...

since david beckham is coming to NYP for a short period of time...

was wondering since i stepped on the escalator...

"Why there are so many people here... ???"

went to FJ [food junction] to find soon poh & co.

played a few round of dai-dee

still have the destroyer luck for the 1st round...

then gradually got lesser power cards due to Ivan's god-like curse skill...

but did not get to shuffle once... for today only...

then we got to be statues while waiting for Beck to come...

at around 2.30pm [???]

my comment ???

"Beckham nya..."

=D

*runs away before those Beckham's fans burn down my home*

forget that... my comment was...

"Sure look different when seeing him from a distance... than on TV in Real Madrid jersey..."

then we proceeded to class [lab class actually...] for financial management class...

then to business communication...

then to IPTN's ICA... which was way too easy... [hontoni arigatou... bobby]

then to South Canteen...

then scanned the card for the lecture class and skipped it

then to the lab to do our project...

then home...

*ahem* decided to write these since i think it should be friggin' time to let others know about me...

Sleepy... so sleepy...

my xxx-th post on my sleepiness... =.=

[laughs out loud... =X]

been quite sleepy lately so i did not have a chance to touch up on the web application design and so... i have to do it now...

developing a second prototype and see which design that i find okay...

but my target still hasn't changed... finish the application by the end of my term break which start at the last week of july...

confirm buying a dvd-writer this month... i choosing between a sony writer or a iomega writer... but nothing is confirmed yet...

next on my unconfirmed list is a laptop... hafta see the situation in school first... if there's a shortage of computer in school... due to project rush... perhaps i'll buy a laptop and save myself the trouble of finding one...

hmm... planning to work soon if i want to buy lots of things... like the laptop and some model kits collection, car license fees... can't be depending on parents forever eh... someday they will be the ones depending on me and my bro... haha

[a bit late since i'm gonna turn 18 soon... =.= and my birthday is sort of unimportant to me... heh =X]
