Battle's over, time for a short break before the war

Guess I did okay for all my papers, except chem. Well, lesson learnt on time management I guess.

Anyway, LET THE ANIME MARATHON BEGINNNN. I know I've got plenty of other stuff to do, but I think I'll prioritize slacking this time. Gotta live life while you can I guess.

Oh yea I feel alive again... don't even feel sleepy from the lack of sleep the past few days :D

Less than a week till my AnE marathon :D

Can't wait for MYEs to be over... the more reviews I read about Ao no Exorcist, the more I'm sure it'll be a great watch :D So many other animes, so little time. Ah well, guess there's always the Dec hols :)

Lunch with 13 today~

Had lunch with (half of)10v13 today, including Jamie who returned to Singapore for a while. Somehow, even though we don't meet up that often, it's nice to know that some things never change, like our usual conversation topics haha. Was really good to meet all of them together again after so long... Looking forward to the next class outing, whenever that is :D

Back from volunteering at another event :D

Was a volunteer at the family games event organised by MPFSC yesterday. I had a more important role in this one because there were really quite few volunteers, so me and the rest of the interacters were assistant leaders for the groups. It was quite an interesting experience, once again, mainly because of interacting with the people there :D

We've all been living quite sheltered lives, we've barely stepped out of our comfort zone to see the other half of society where people aren't so fortunate, though we like to think we do. It's very easy to take for granted what we have, and assume that people elsewhere can't be that much worse off in comparison to us. But it's really all a matter of getting exposed to these things. We'd never feel the full impact of poverty unless we visit countries where this is really a problem, and see it for ourselves.

Talking to these people really makes a difference, it makes you aware that you should be very grateful for what you have. Nevertheless, it's still quite nice to still see them all so happy and positive, even with all their woes :)

Everyone has a story to tell, don't assume there's none simply because you haven't heard theirs yet.

So much for catching up on my sleep this hols

I'm staying up late every night.... Nope not to study, just to draw. My inspiration's suddenly come back, I just can't help it. I've gotta admit, for not drawing for some time, my skills don't seem to have worsened. In fact, I seem to be able to draw much better and faster now :D Quite happy with my works so far, might scan and colour one of them after my mind years.

Urrgh mid years.

Guess the holidays aren't THAT bad after all

Think I've been slacking quite a bit this week, partially because I think it won't make much of a difference if I study more anyway. Gotta get rid of that mindset. 

But this week was good, with meeting Mr Ng to go exploring around Tiong bahru and lunch on Monday, a rather fruitful Tuesday of PW, dinner on Thursday, and meeting Keith today. Today's 5 hour Xbox/PS2 marathon was a pretty good way to unwind... I've lost my touch in SC4 after not playing for so long. But Marvel vs Capcom was still pretty good, I managed to win half the matches or so :D 

Went to the library on Wednesday, and guess what, there's a big comics exhibition right at the entrance. Quite interesting to see other younger kid's works, they're actually not bad. If only I had those opportunities when I was younger. Anyway, I borrowed a book on anatomy  by Christopher Hart, specifically for manga. It provides quite a lot of useful details that I've kinda always wanted to know. Sadly I won't have much time to practise this hols, but I'm thinking of buying the book during Dec hols, along with a few other books I found. I realised Kino is not only a great place to get manga, but also a great place to get books on manga drawing too. I swear I love that bookshop. 

Anyway, time to get back to reality. Mid year exams in two weeks. I've reaally gotta stop having such a relaxed mindset. Not exactly that optimistic about these exams as I usually am... just hope I can scrape As or Bs at least :/

So many animes I wanna watch now

I mean besides the usual long and still-continuing animes, like Fairy Tail, which I'm gonna spam after A levels. I've found quite a few short and completed animes, that are pretty good. Ao no Exorcist, Shakugan no Shana, and Soul eater. Plenty more actually. But I think I'll start with Ao no Exorcist after mid year exams, it shouldn't take longer than a weekend if I marathon-watch it :D
