Blackboards and chalkboards!

Whee it's kind of funny that I keep trying to post while I'm waiting for something. But I guess it's productive too~

Ah. I hope the essay thing will work out fine, though I'm kind of using it as an excuse to learn a bit about the universe. Hey, what you said makes sense but I still think it's worth a shot? Maybe? Uh. ><

Forget it, here are some weird pictures instead.

Hey! My dad seems bribe-able with instant noodles! O:

ちょっと寒いですね。

天気の方じゃなくて、友達の方です。T^T なぜ私に何も聞かないですか？；－；まぁいいかっ。

Ahh my ankle is aching from the cold. =_= And as usual, I'm sleepy haha~

The shrine at Asakusa is pretty cool. xD I'm not sure if it's because it's Sunday, but the place was packed!

Whee.

We visited other places too but I am sleepy. -sigh- And homesick for just one reason. =_= -SIGH-

君のせいだ！:<

東京に初めての投稿～

Wow. My blog seems to be hosted at thelinebetweenthelightandthedark.blogspot.com.jp! So my google is all in Japanese now. xD

Either it's not that cold here because it's spring, or there's something wrong with me because my mother was wearing 3 layers while I was in 1 in the afternoon. (Don't worry, I'm not that nuts to not be in a jacket earlier in the day. :D) Hmm. I brought both my sweater and coat along since my mum was worried about the temperature, but... 3 layer is too warm even at night.

We visited the Edo-Tokyo Museum first haha. :D Quite typical of my mum and I but I picked that museum to visit for it's interactivity. o.o Well, at least my sister was entertained for a while? Oh! We saw sakura in bloom along the street to the museum and the locals stared at us as they passed like we were a bunch of crazy retarded tourists who've never seen sakura before. Oh wait. We are a bunch of crazy retarded who have never seen sakura before. Does that make excessive photo taking forgivable? o.o

Surprisingly Akihabara didn't excite my sister as much as it seemed it might? If you didn't know, it's one of the anime character collectible places in this city.

...strangely enough what we have bought most of are socks. .__. What! My toes are cold though the rest of me is warm. Not sure why my sister and mother started to buy too. Then my mum suggested buying 5 pairs for my father because they were on offer. (No, I told her my dad would scold her so we didn't spend any more on socks. xD)

On the gloomy side, I didn't get any sleep on my way here so I felt and looked quite terrible. =__=

<--sleepy! I couldn't figure out how to adjust the plane's seats, was seated in the middle so I didn't have anything to lean on, the lights were kept on during most of the journey and as usual, there were crying and whining children. -SIGH- We couldn't check in until 2pm and it would have been a waste to come to all the way to Tokyo to uh, sleep. I crashed like an asteroid into the moon without realising it when I was waiting for my sister to finish showering. xD

Ahh I'm still very sleepy, have a bunch of things to charge and am too lazy to upload photos so that will have to wait! Uhh I don't mind taking a photo of the rather cool bed that I have claimed and a friend of mine that followed me here though? :D

Bored of waiting to board~

HAHA my mother and sister were questioned at the gate while the staff took one look at me and decided 'not threatening'. Oh well. -.-

Using the wifi here but I should switch to airplane mode soon~ :D

On a random note, I'm wearing a tokyo shirt to tokyo. xD

Why is manga so fascinating?!

At the moment, Itsuwaribito Utsuho in particular! Haha it's a relatively new series which I think is worth supporting! xD I picked it up last year when the comics connection near my place was still there. Candidly, I shall admit to you that I should have been studying and not wasting my savings on manga but... :D I dunno, it's just something I spend money on. A bit like how people spend (maybe more) money on clothes or CDs? Ahaha.

But the process of buying manga is sometimes more embarrassing than it should be! Argh I went out with my sister to... a place that involves a comic book shop. Unfortunately for me, my height (or lack thereof) gets in the way. Since the manga I just mentioned isn't the most well-known or popular series around, it was kept on a shelf right out of my reach. D: Seriously?! Haha I don't know whether I should be thankful or sad that the staff just ignored me, because if they came over and helped (sorry, but are you height deficient?) it would have been... -sigh- After that I asked my sister if she saw any of that and she said 'I saw 10 seconds. Wait. Who are you? Don't talk to me.' ._____. Anyway! I got hold of the books but let's just say I shouldn't go to the Clementi branch for a while. >///<

Heheh. :D

Hey but it's a cool series! Even the main character is attractive for once! I think in shonen manga, the main character tends to be the kind that doesn't think things through or worse, isn't intelligent enough to think things through. Also, they're immature so you can watch them 'grow' but I tend to find the secondary characters more interesting haha. Oh, did you know that developing fully formed personalities for secondary characters is unique to manga? Western comics place much less emphasis on them. Fictional books mostly concentrate on the main charcters too. o.o

Wait, where was I? Oh, the main characters. They also tend to survive everything for no good reason! ._.

Okay, okay, I shall stop talking about manga. But I'm headed to Tokyo tomorrow night so... But I'm not that proficient in Japanese to read entire tankobons in their original language! Good for my mother and sister though, otherwise I might waste their time in manga 'kissa's. Haha okay, I will stop. xD

My sister and I rescued a pigeon today! ^^ It had one injured leg and was missing all the feathers on its back, as well as its tail. The skin looked that of a plucked chicken. D: Well, we called the SPCA and they came to pick it up. I had to sit in the rain for a while because it didn't like the shoebox. =_= Meh.

Actually, I haven't finished planning the itinerary AHAHAHAHAHA.

Neither have I finished applying for scholarships. HAHAHAHAHA OH WELL.

Oh my mum just appeared to scold me for no reason. Hmm. :d -shrugs-

...I wonder if I should bring my computer along.

心还绕着你徘徊。

Oh hey it's 林俊杰！Haha his songs have remained nice over the past 10 (What?! I feel old!) years. If I'm not wrong, he's the first artist whose music I discovered when I was young. O: Anyway, lyrics are below~ :3

表达爱

我们擦身而过 风卷起了沉睡的什么
情绪在怂恿 撑开了懵懂
有一种冲动

决定不沉默 毕竟有感觉的人不多
我不想就此错过

眼睁睁看爱 就这样过吗
至少我和你 可以说说话
证明刚刚发生过什么

用表白换一份期待
能不能就少一点忐忑无奈
心还绕着你徘徊
难道这是爱

泪水流过才明白
爱不爱原来心里早已存在
幸福不在千里外
让我勇敢表达爱

眼睁睁看爱 就这样过吗
至少我和你 可以说说话
证明刚刚发生过什么

用表白换一份期待
能不能就少一点忐忑无奈
心还绕着你徘徊
难道这是爱

泪水流过才明白
爱不爱原来心里早已存在
幸福不在千里外
让我勇敢表达爱

Ahh there's a difference in the way the 1st chorus is sung. o.o But JJ Lin's songs tend to be complicated like that!

Pffft if I have nothing to talk about, I shall be posting more lyrics. :d

The things I could do!

On the 16th of march. -sigh- In fact, after receiving a flyer last week, I wanted to attend smu's seminar open to the public. Only to find that it was on the 16th. And last night, Sarah asked if I was free to go to the nus open house with her and the Bean, but that's... also on the 16th. Okay, actually I went for their open house last year, so I doubt there's anything new to see, but I'm so bored, lonely and un-motivated at home.

Speaking of home, Bluey's beak is swollen for some reason. D8 The suggestions I found online weren't very useful.

Uh, I was waiting at the bus stop near my house and noticed the tree in the photo is rather pretty! Why has someone as inert as you left your bed, you ask? Well, my friend, I have embarked to Chinatown to risk a S$1000 in exchange for Yen. I'm still on the bus now ahaha.

I feel so lazy ARGH. I woke up at 12.30pm(!) yesterday, then proceeded to sit around re-reading manga, before moving on to filling in a meme from deviantart. More specifically known as the 'pointless time-wasting meme', or so the author titled it.

...it really is time-consuming, mind you. Hmm... Maybe I should waste more time by putting it up here when I'm finished.

Oh! Someone remind of to take part in illustration friday(this friday)! But wait, everyone who reads this blog is otherwise occupied. D: Forget it, I shall appoint my bird as official reminder.

I miss school.

It drives me a bit crazy hahaha. Since I don't have much to talk about today, here's a sms conversation between my sister and I. Okay, okay, essentially it's me annoying my sister. :D The context here is my sister meeting Jiahe at NTUC (coincidentally)!

JIAHE JIAHE JIAHEEEEE

EH JIAHE

OMG

HURHUR

POOR JIAHE HAHA.

HEHEHEHEHE

JIAJIAJIAJIAJIA?

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

IC WHUT U DID THUR

I'm such a horrible batchmate omg

why HAHAHAHAHA

I dunno HOHOHO (bang ying). See?

icic

I wonder wai.

psh

Soh sorry.

Too chow-dish.

Quack. :D

lame

Okay, I should goh to sleep before you kill me.

Or before I manage to annoy everyone on the team. xD

They might all hsu me.

SHUSH

I WILL COME OUT WITH A PARANG

Needless to say, I was too afraid for my life. I think I understand what Cheng Yong meant by 这家伙也好不到哪里！Oh, snow white is snow white. Sorry, couldn't think of a homonym for your name, Ching! Or is that a good thing? xD

I blame it on the coffee at 11pm. Or overdose on JJ Lin songs. (Nothing to do with the guy personally though!)

Let me get out of your shooting/棍/枪/driving range.

東京へ行こう！

Planning itineraries is harder than it seems. Really. D: I got a headache  (yes, literally) from trying to include  all my mother's requests and trying not to bore my sister from visiting Tokyo's numerous museums!
One tends to forget that Singapore is, well, puny compared to other countries. Thankfully, Japan's transport system is quite navigable, though you wouldn't think so from your first impression of the train map. xD  At the moment, it's still a work in progress! -sigh-  Have many details like the price of tickets and where to eat lunch to workout ARGH.

 Not to mention I need to revise my conversational Japanese otherwise we might be screwed. ._.

 Goodnight ~
