I don't even...!

-sigh- It just occurred to me that the reason why there are so many problems in the world is that it might be run by immature, unstable people in the guise of adults. I guess some people never grow up, not in that innocent sense. They never grow out of tantrums, or petty arguments, or general self-centric behaviour. They expect the world to be at their beck and call, like over-indulgent parents. If the world fails to do as much (which obviously it does, for it has its own, more important concerns, which coincidentally include the numerous other spoilt children), then they either blow themselves up, thinking they'll get attention, or blow others up, for all the 'wrong' they have done to them.

The other revelation is about relationships. I'm starting to think it might be a vicious cycle of some sort, where young people do not receive adequate or appropriate guidance and affection from their parents, resulting in them seeking it elsewhere. It's probably all a gamble then, most marriages. Hmm. Which is fine, but why gambling addicts don't seek help from those counsellors is beyond me. T_T

Why is society riddled with problems? Makes it too much like cheese. If it were edible, it's likely to be the squishy kind.

Some days I just feel like giving up. ):

Spotted: a wild Sarah

HAHAHA why is it you're the only one who leaves comments, dear Sarah? xD

Whee I feel a tad more social this week, because I've been talking to random friends. (Y) Most of my weeks have been filled with either the silent company of my duck or the chirping of my bird. Cute as Bluey is it no speak english. T_T

(Speaking of which I think I was almost invited to a 7B dinner, but unfortunately I have obligations to my mother/grandmother. D: So my boredom continues.)

Haha crap I just laughed aloud to myself at Yi Jia's SMS. I think I'm becoming old and lonely haha. Like a weird bird lady OH NO.

I wandered off to Boon Lay today, partly because my mum set free my aeroplane. She suggested meeting her at her workplace because they apparently have an important use for cynical tertiary students like me. o.o Anyway, I was hungry and bored at home. I think my plan to self-entertain backfired, because after lunch I was no longer hungry but still bored. Oh well, I guess the hamsters were cute and the books I borrowed will suffice.

If you must know, I'm glued to my mattress for now. Again. Unemployment is quite dull haha. But it feels nice in a way, not having to rush to do anything or go anywhere for a while. :D

Okay, I've not been completely unproductive! I managed to sew a dress and a cardigan okay! Albeit with wonky stitches because I don't understand sewing machine tension. T.T

Oh and I've accepted the offer to nus yay. So I really have nothing I must do. All I need now is another awkward photo to embarrass myself for the next 4 years. Good eh?

I think I'll come back when I have more things to write about. xD

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:

17.3.13

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.
