I think I'm addicted to POP again

Yup, but not that I'm complaining. Feels good to be playing POP again, after so long. The soundtrack in this game is simply the best. I'm only stopping for eating, sleeping, and more importantly, recharging my iPod -.-"

Looks like it's more or less recharged now. Back to Persia now :D

OH YEAA HAHAHAHA :D

I just started playing POP 2 on my iPod, and it's AWESOME. It expected they'd cut some stuff to make this version on the iPod, BUT EVERYTHING'S EXACTLY THE SAME HAHAHA. BEST OF ALL, IT'S IN HD!! I FEEL ALIVE AGAIN MUHAHAHAHA :D

Only downside is the middle control button's a little hard to press, it doesn't register sometimes even when I press really hard. But I think I'll eventually get around that. As for now, back to some sword-swinging, wall-jumping, time travelling action hehe.

Oh and if I haven't said it before, I'll say it now. PRINCE OF PERSIA IS THE BEST GAME THERE IS. ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE :D

Got an iPod :D

My bro gave me his iPod, mainly because he doesn't have much use for it anymore, and his PSP should be more than enough for him. Still trying to get the hang of using it though. Anyway, I'm just trying to download good games now. Already got Iron Man 2, currently downloading Prince of Persia 2. Yea I know playing these on an iPod as compared to a PS would be kinda sucky, but ah well, better than nothing. Trying to find a decent One Piece theme and wallpaper too. Hehe, this could be the start of something good :D

Caught up to the latest chapter in D. Grayman

Well, I've finally caught up, after spamming it since after EOYs. This series is gooood. But the anime stopped a few years ago, and the manga only comes out like once every month now. Might be because of the accident the mangaka had a few years ago, which cause the series to be on hiatus for a while. It used to be released weekly, now I've got to wait a month for each chapter T_T And I reaally hope they continue the anime. This one's too good of a series to be stopped. Well, I have 4 mangas and 3 animes ongoing now. I think I shouldn't add any more to the list. Might not be able to keep myself updated with all of them next year.

I suddenly got some inspiration to draw today. Well okay, my character's hair looks a bit like Allen's, but that wasn't intentional. It turned out pretty good, gonna scan it in and colour it tomorrow. Gonna start drawing more these days. I might even do a few pages of manga. Alright then, back to drawing this guy's evil alter-ego now :D

Cut my hair a little too short -.-"

My hair was already awfully long, so I went to cut it today. Walked into the barber shop, sat down, and after thinking a bit, I told him to cut it short. I usually don't say anything, he knows how short it should be. Not sure why I told him this time. Apparently he has a really stretched definition of short. -.-"

Lesson of the day: Sometimes its better to just shut up.

Hmm.

Today's TED event got me thinking a bit. About whether the path I'm choosing to follow will truly make me happy. Well, if I blindly follow it, maybe it won't. I've got to make my own path within this path. Perhaps that's what I'm looking for. But I just needa make sure that where I'm headed, that's where I want to go, what I want to do. I just hope it is. Only time will tell, I guess.

I just hope I have no regrets in the future.

Today was a good day :)

Met up with Derrick, Sunda, Keith, and Darren at Keith's house today. We had the usual ps2/ xbox marathons, watching and laughing madly at lame videos, and of course, the ever-usual pizza lunch. Well this year the game selection got better since Keith bought some new games, we spent most of the time playing Marvel vs Capcom. Damn, that game is good. And I think I've sorta lost my touch in Soul Calibur 4. Ah well, at least I won a few times in that.

Meeting them again next week probably to watch Tintin, and sometime during December at Derrick's house for a barbeque. The don't exactly seem that confident that they can get into VJ next year, but I'm pretty sure they will. Gonna be interesting having them around again next year, even though we most probably would be in different classes :D

And so, another chapter of my life has ended.

Today was the last day of being an IP2, it was kinda sad. I'll honestly miss the IP life, my crazy yet awesome class, all the crazy things we've been through in IP, and most of all, my friends. One of my biggest worries always, is that I'll lose touch with old friends. Hopefully it doesn't happen this time.

I remember thinking two years ago during the welcome and matriculation, that these two years are gonna be the best two years of my life. I was right. There are a lot of memories that I really treasure, most of them aren't any big things, just some stuff that we do randomly in all our madness. I find it quite a crazy stroke of luck that my class seems to have the right combination of people, and by that I mean that everyone's so different that it's not a problem anymore.

I'll miss the good times we had, painting the walls, going to IKEA to buy furniture, scaring people in the mornings, the pillow fights, the random dance sessions, the class outings, the really interesting lessons(once again, because we were lucky enough to get all awesome teachers :D), playing pokemon cards, and even minor stuff like going down to eat with everyone during breaks. Honestly, I think it's the small stuff like this that we'll miss the most. Another of the things I'll miss is having a classroom we can call home. The four walls within which we could be as crazy as we wanted, without having to care about the rest of the world.

Anyway, as I've said before, these two years have been the best two years of my life. Though we'll all be split up next year, I hope that we'll all still be able to meet occasionally, to relive good old times. And thanks, to all my friends and classmates who made the past two years one of the best experiences of my life :)

Memories are good to look back at, but we shouldn't live in them. Keep moving forward, keep looking to the future, and making new memories.

Last day of Tamil

Finished O level Tamil today, this marks the end of ten years plus of studying. On one hand, I am quite glad to be finally rid of it. But then again, as I keep moving forward and finishing certain things I never thought I'd see the end of, it sort of means that my life as a student is also going to come to a close quite soon. I know nothing could be better than these two years in IP, but I do hope the next two years are good. It'll sort of be the last time I can call myself a student (somehow I don't find that term quite applicable to uni).

Anyway, I've really gotta use this holiday meaningfully, as tempting as it may be to just mindlessly slack the whole time. Got some things in mind already, but whether I'll actually get around to doing them is another issue. Ah well, I shall take a well deserved break today. And touch up my symposium slides later. Gonna have to rush to finish everything tomorrow.

Decisions, decisions.

Well, by the end of tonight I'd have officially chosen bio over phys. I just really hope that I made the right choice, and that I'll continue to do well in it. Well then, even if physics is supposedly easier, it only means that I'll have to put in more effort for bio. It's not impossible to ace it. I definitely know I prefer bio over physics, and it's definitely more relevant to me. All that's left is whether I'll continue doing well in it. If I don't, then I'll just HAVE to. No regrets then.

I have started to consider taking KI again x.x After what Mr Chad told us about IP students generally doing better in KI, and that KI might be a better choice for some people as compared to GP, I'm starting to re-think my opinion that GP is a fail-safe option, that everyone who takes it struggles and somehow gets a B or something. If I take it, I might not even be able to get a B, considering I'm not that in touch with current affairs. Might. On the other hand, KI does seem interesting, but is also scary at the same time, as I'm not sure if I can do well in it. I don't think I'll have a good gauge of whether I'll be able to do KI after taking it for a few months, I think I'll only know for sure after maybe a year, and that's a little too late ._. Then again, if it's like LA, I guess I could get through it relatively okay, just that the lectures might be a little boring. But then again, GP seems a little idiot-proof, though it's a little tedious to read up on current affairs and all. I could go on debating with myself, but I've been already been doing that a lot for the past few weeks. First bio versus physics, and now this. I'm just glad I got the bio/phys thing sorted out. As for this, I'll see how the briefing and talk with Mr Ng is on Tuesday. I can still predict what's gonna happen though. I'll take it next year, and after 3 months I'd be okay with it, but I'd still be unsure on whether to continue with it or not, whether I can continue to manage if I continue it. Sigh

If after looking into myself I can't find an answer, I guess I'll just have to make an answer.
