19th June 2008 (Thursday)

I've finally decided that I should put my blog into some use, like perhaps...stick some inscriptions of my daily life into this little lonely world of wind...lol. Yeah, thanks to dear Azzy I've managed to come up with a first BLOG post ever, haha...I didn't have time to continue with the inner world "wanderers' journey" diaries yet, so yeah...I'll prop it aside for later use.

Today for ICT Enrichment...we finally had a break out of the mould. Yeah...crossed from good old Gimp to start off with Blender, it's a 3D animation and graphics software that's absolutely free on the web. So I downloaded it, and tried to create a dango with it. You know...top views...side views...front views...I'm starting off with little 3D spheres. But ah well...it did't turn out LIKE a dango...apparently I couldn't think of a way to get that cylinder to stick into the spheres...-.- Anyway camera views don't help either...they're too...detailed. Yeah lol. Once I'm more used to it...I'll try to make a 3D onigiri or an omusu! Yay! I love riceballs haha! XD
_____________________________________________________
By the way, Ms Tami says we'll have to do a quiz which covers the whole of what we learnt over semester 1, about the Gimp and stuff like that. Easy, as she claims, but yeah...she says if we don't know anything, she'll be in trouble.
________________________________________________________
o.O Very sry, but I think she'll be in trouble.
________________________________________________________
Oh well...today was...one of the more insightful lessons in physics. We got to learn about prefixes, which are placed in-front of S1 units and all that. So for example...m=1 out of 100 / o.o1 and hence it is 10^-3. Haha weird...it's basically math, so yeah...I'll need more time to adjust to it. But it's better than PLAIN HARD math cuz it's stuck with some logic and there's a kind of stem or root as you call it, so I understand it better. I hope I do this better than math...I'm gonna suck totally to the core if I don't. -.- I can't stand 2 subjects that I'm not good in. Haiz...
________________________________________________________
I did a dumb thing today. After ICT Enrichment, I left my thumbdrive in the com lab and strutted off for recess. Haiz...my whole group's project was in it, so it's lucky that I found it before it got taken. XD And I bought a 0.3 pilot mechanical pencil in the bookshop today during recess, so now I've got a better refined tool for drawing the anatomy guidelines! Yay! XD I'm still searching for a satisfactory art eraser though. All those that I've bought don't seem to have the desired texture and efficiency...art IS a lil fussy sometimes, isn't it XD?
________________________________________________________
Oh yea, Detective Conan file 654 is up today in Chinese! Yippeee! Though we're kinda back to square one...Shinichi changed back to Conan without even telling Ran about his secrets...awww...I know I've gotta sit like a lil pet and wait for file 655 before I conclude...but yeah, I do wish we get a little bit more progress. Like...found a lead in the Black Org's secrets? Something about the APTX 4869 and the antidote? Haha...Gosho-sama, gambatte kudasai yo!
________________________________________________________
Anyway, back to schoolwork...I was pretty surprised that I got 58/70 for Chinese compo, it's titled "A Familiar Stranger". At first I thought I was writing crap...but it didn't turn out so. Well, lucky, but yeah...I'm not really feeling jocund about it for some reason. Ever since I entered RGS, whether it be an achievement or failure, I've never felt any particular strong emotions. I'm starting to lose a connection with understanding my own feelings...haha...perhaps it's just life. -.- Sad truth but yeah...I have to live with it, don't I...
________________________________________________________
We had the first lesson of Basic Conversational Malay too...haiz...I can't say I enjoyed it at all. I dunno...it's different from learning Japanese. I don't get the motivation to learn it well cuz I don't really FEEEEL particularly inclined to that lang.
Anyway...I was trying to help Jia Hui when she got stuck answering the question, so the Cikgu saw it and yeah...unfortunately, she smiled and said "no cheating, or I'll call you to answer the next number." She did give me a question...and it was the HELL LOT OF A DIFFICULT DAMN DIFFICULT number. It was the longest too. So yeah...just my luck. For helping a certain friend in need. -.-
________________________________________________________
And come to think of it, I'm learning 4 languages now. o.0
________________________________________________________
Frankly, school sucks. Not mainly cuz I'm in RGS, but more of...school life. The teachers and friends over at rgs IS good and we DO have a very good school spirit but...haiz, it's stressful. First day and I'm already looking forward to another holiday in July...what's wrong with me lol.
________________________________________________________
Ahhh....forgot to bring the toy bird whistle and the doughnut *surprise!* for Azzy today. -.- Hui Wen gave me a mango sweet she brought back from Thailand over the hols...nice of her, ne! XD
________________________________________________________
Oh and yesterday a Detective Conan friend taught me something very very nice and *haha, I promised him secrecy* about coms. Yup, thanks a load for that! XD
________________________________________________________
Hmm...Azzy just asked me if I would prefer flutes to violins. Well...in truth, I prefer flutes. Violins are just not my type. They create this...creaking melodramatic sound which bursts my ears...oh well, who knows? Perhaps I'm thinking too much of Clannad. Lol, Kotomi's violin recital. And Akio and Sanae...lol. Haha...I love Clannad. Great cheer to my life. *Once again, thanks Azzy for introducing me to it haha! I owe you loads man*
________________________________________________________
Ya know...recently Jonny and Bren had a teeny tiny trivial argument. It was somewhat childish, but reaaaallly cute and made me excavate my memories of typical typical 6G 2007. Haha...Sometimes feeling nostalgic on certain occasions feel really soothing and all...but together with that comes a deep hollow feeling...get it? It's deep and it's hollow...It's kinda a feeling that can't really be deciphered. Even I don't understand my emotions nowadays...it's like another part of myself has shown its true light. And now I can't stop it.

I'm not as good now in a lot of stuff I used to be good at last time. I dunno why...being in RGS kinda takes away lots of my confidence and a knowing that I am capable of certain stuff. It's like I've lost a pillar to hold onto in times when everything else was bad and rotting. -_- This gives me a pretty desperate feeling sometimes. Like...in P6 I had a definite goal on what job I wanted to get, what I'll do, what future I wanted. Now I'm kinda lost, and settled on a route in psychology. It's not really guaranteed though, a considerably risky path. At least it's not something we're learning in schools now...so I don't get that safe and definite feeling thinking about it.

By the way, I've been dreaming like...9 successful dreams these days. They haven't been coming into my sleep for a considerable period of time, but now they came back in a bang. I dreamt of the same boy 4 times, though I only know his age as 17-18 but not his name. And this girl came into my dream 3 times. o.O 3 of the dreams also seemed to connect...like, even though they're dreamt of on different days and times, it seems like continuations of a whole story itself.
It's weird. And my dreams are getting darker and more serious now. My dream companions have also changed from age 13-15 to age 16-18. That's really weird. Ever since that dream on the moon with the last batch of old dream companions...now it's totally changed.

Awww...tomorrow I'm having NCC Air photoshoot. Have to wear no. 3 uniform, that set which looks, no offense, a lil like office workers. We won't be having third lang since the other schools have not reopened...But poor Azzy...haha, 2h of lessons and a test, and she has to memorise 16 important dates and events which happened on the days. I pity her tut tut *shakes head slowly*

Well yeah, we're having PE tomorrow. NOOOOO!!! Why...I prefer the Air-con! AIR-CON omg...it's my savior in such a hot weather. And I don't like getting all sweaty and that...-.- Well, I just have to bear with it don't I...Luckily there's no geog tomorrow, so I can have the weekends to edit that powerpoint for the group so it's of a better standard and quality. 0.O I owe Azzy one, for doing that whole powerpoint though. (Not talking about Nandhini who escaped to India.) Haiz...There were 2 groups doing Chang Jiang / Yang Tze, including mine. I didn't know that.

So...bye for now.
