Soooo, I had my first week back in university and it was.. I guess things could have been better. It's the usual. Our timetables are messed up, we meet new lecturers and a bunch of new people. I have to mention that our timetables are really screwed up. Some classes can last until 10PM and they keep changing everyday! I admit I probably freaked out more than I should in this week, but it's just the first week. I should prepare for worse things that could happen. --- Well, I can't remember how many times my family did the Earth Hour every 28th of March. We didn't do it every year but I guess we participated the event for almost all years since we learned about it. Earth Hour is a worldwide event held by WWF, encouraging everyone on earth to turn off their lights on the 28th of March, 8:30PM to 9:30PM at their own local time. Well, I know my neighbours are not actively participating it but my family thought it was a good way to save electricity and have some fam...

It was one beautiful evening when my brother told me that a new game store was opening near our area. It was a grand opening and apparently they are giving away free games to the first 300 customers who are willing to camp in front of their game shop way before opening time early in the morning. The day before the opening, my brother actually told me that he suddenly felt lazy to go. He isn't an outgoing person and would rather stay at home but I convinced my dear brother that he could get the games he and I wanted for free. On the day of the opening, I got up earlier than I usually do because my brother knocked my door and forced me to be awaken from my wonderful slumber. But anyway, soon we were on our way to the game store. We left our house at 9:30AM, an hour earlier than the opening time. Due to the fact that the area has a lot of car repairing workshops, most of the parking spots are reserved with tyres or paint cans taking up the parking spots. We went around the area ...

I am not the most interesting person in the world, and I'm not the person you'll want to go to when you want to hear cool stories or interesting conversations. Well, you could try but I'll probably won't. I realized that I have gotten really anti-social since my semester break. Probably the most anti-social moment in my whole life of my history. Well, maybe I wouldn't diagnose myself anti-social but really I just don't like talking to people about stuff anymore. Or I'm scared, or just plain nervous, or just unwilling to share about things about me anymore. I'm guessing it's more of the third option there. I won't shut myself in my cone shell and seal myself away from human interaction, I will stand outside right beside my shell, a few feet away from you and listen to you as you talk about your (most likely more) interesting life and go back inside once you're done or when I decide I don't want to listen to you anymore. I say I...

I was taking a shower on the night before Chinese New Year and asked myself if I should wash my hair. It is a Chinese tradition not to wash your hair on the first day of CNY. We are not supposed to cut our fingernails or sweep the floor on the first day as well. With that in mind, I've decided to wash my hair so it wouldn't stink after two days of not washing my hair. I thought it was really weird yet amazing, that some traditions from different cultures are still kept till this day. I was taught of these traditions since I was young and I followed them without asking or hesitating. Now that I'm almost adult, even knowing that the reasons behind these beliefs and tradition might not be true, I still feel uncomfortable with the thought of disobeying it. We were always told to preserve our tradition so that our culture and identity would be kept. People had passed down these habits from generations ago and it is our duty to do the same. But the world is so modern now, not...

A few days ago, I had a Skype call with a friend I knew from the Internet. We didn't contact each other for some time so we caught up a bit with each others' lives. Talking to him like this would be impossible given the situation we had seven years ago when we first met. I knew most of my online friends from AuditionSEA and he was the first few friends I met there. I remembered he asked for my contacts, but I didn't give him anything except for my MSN. I refused to give him my phone number because even texting to Singapore is expensive. Ah, but now look where we are. Communication is so much better these days. With the Internet and the convenience of social apps, talking to anyone is easy even if they're at the other side of the world. This helps a lot in the online gaming world. Back then when I was still using dial-up Internet, I was allowed to use the computer for a few hours. I would go to my cousin's house to enjoy their Internet and chat with my frien...

I've turned so bitter and all I wanted to do is to hurt, all I wanted to is to blame. But what can I achieve from all of that? Nothing. Nothing but more grief, more regrets. Even if with all that, I'm still empty in the inside. Teach me one last time, how do you manage to handle everything skillfully like you always do. How did you suddenly decided that you'll stop falling. How did you change your views. How did you managed to say those words. I don't know what to feel. I guess that's progress. --- Stop. Run. Turn back. Don't come back. Now. Go. I'm not done at all. --- It's funny when you find yourself, looking from the outside. I'm standing here but all I want, is to be over there. Why did I let myself believe miracles could happen? 'Cause now I have to pretend that I don't really care. I thought you were my fairy tale, a dream when I'm not sleeping. A wish upon a star, that's coming true. - I...

This is my reaction after finish Book Four from the Legend of Korra. I didn't complete the series when the last episode was aired, so I had to avoid spoilers and scrolled past many posts about the show. Finally, I got myself to continue the series. Major spoiler for those who haven't watch the show. My advice is don't watch it. For the fourth book, Korra had to recover after the fight with the Red Lotus and Kuvira wanted to take over the Earth empire and eventually the Republic City. All of that in just 13 episodes. Everything was so rushed and it was like wow, Korra finally got over her stubbornness and healed with the help of Toph and woah, time to defeat Kuvira and yay, they did it with the help of everyone (I don't know what's Team Avatar anymore) and everything ended so abruptly with Korra venturing to the spirit world with Asami. I just found out that it was confirmed, a romantic relationship between them. (WHAAAT?)   They ruined the series...
