hi. didnt update in 10 years or so. firstly, now im kinda ticked off. because some fucking faggot pissed me off on MSN. i just hate people like him now, he has changed a lot. i knew from last year, and he was an alright person to talk to, but can be gullible at times, it's nice to poke fun once in a while, but i have my limits of course. then NOW? he speaks arrogantly, motherfucker seriously. just because you have a girlfriend now, you think you're damn cool is it? stupid dick. i have blocked and deleted him off my list ever since 2 minutes ago. and i feel really contented now..
pardon the bumpy start of a new post.. now i'll just dig up whatever i did in the past week, if my memory serves me well. ok, with my limited memory up there, i think... the last time i left off was on THURSDAY. and so, that was the day i returned from the chalet la. and i had really minimal sleep over there, so i drained my last blocks of energy in my body to blog, chatted online for MSN for a short while before turning in around 8pm. and i slept like a baby.
FRIDAY.
woke up around 1pm. no one was home. that's a very typical friday afternoon situation. got showered, and all i had for breakfast + lunch was a big bag of tortilla chips. not eating proper meals, that's typically me. sat down at the balcony to play guitar and played around with new settings for about an hour or two. and my guitar strings are starting to sound like shit. i need a new setup for the new gauge of strings im using. but somehow, i feel half hearted to go all the way to the guitar tech dude, mainly because of cash constraints. i'm unemployed what. getting labour to set up my guitar = $$
SATURDAY.
today was the last day of the JLPT prep course. and im getting my results for the second paper i did last week. the lesson today was slightly different, but more challenging. sensei was going through the questions of last week's paper, but she was extracting the answers from all of us individually. so, if someone she asks gives the wrong answer it would be dead embarassing. luckily, all the time when asked, i answered correctly.
after the first 10 minute break, sensei distributed our answer sheets. it was a heart-stopping moment for me when i was turning over that piece of paper(the results were on the other side as the paper was placed downwards) and yes, i made an improvement, i definitely scored higher than what i expected to : )
318 out of 400.
marks i expected to score was 300. oh. i had a big bunch of careless mistakes yet again. damnit. before class ended for the day, our kind sensei wished us all good luck for our JLPT which is tomorrow.
didnt go home directly after class this time, but went to meet some of my old sec school mates at PS. i havent seen them in ages. we had booked tickets to our very first M18 show this night. we had our dinner at BK, though i havent eaten there in quite a while, i didnt really like the food there. i prefer long john's since it was way cheaper.
movie time.
we watched "Tenacious D in the pick of destiny" and that movie was fucking funny as hell. too many perverse jokes, and hence it got its M18 rating. but i didnt like the ending though. but thumbs up for the humour. i laughed till my stomach hurt. and the movie has one meaningful line. but i forgot it already la.
oh ya, i saw some funny signs over at Cathay picturehouse. for example this foundain at the basement level with this sign.
and one more. if you read it as 2 separate words, what does it say?
the movie finished around 930pm. we had nothing else to do, so we went over to paradigm plaza to play pool. i havent touched that game in weeks, and i sucked like crazy. damnit. pooled till 12am. then i parted ways with them. some of them wanted to go over to clarke quay to go clubbing, and i'm not the type of person who clubs. good day.
SUNDAY.
woke up at 11am. JLPT was at 220pm. showered and left home at 1220pm, without breakfast as usual. i dont eat breakfast what. mom forced me to bring 2 muffins to eat in the bus. JLPT venue? Changi Japanese Primary School. i had been there before last year, for the japanese summer festival which kicked ass. and now, i kinda forgotten my way there already, especially when im going there alone. 72-ed to Tampines MRT station. took a short trip down the line to Tanah Merah MRT which was like 2-3 stops away. from there, i looked over at the map. im supposed to take bus no. 2 which stops directly in front of the school. the bus came quickly. boarded it.
and im not sure where to stop, but i kept my eyes peeled for the sight of the school. 15 minutes passed. the surroundings are getting weirder and weirder. this was not what i saw last year when boarding the same bus. 20 minutes gone. i looked outside, i'm at fucking GEYLANG! i'm like 9849 miles OFF COURSE. i got down immediately and stared at my cell's clock. 135pm. flagged a taxi driven by a weird looking old guy. i just said "Changi Japanese Primary School," he muttered something to acknowledge me, and drove off.
this driver is... ok i duno how to explain. he kept eating while driving. eating a WATERMELON somemore. what the fuck. ok la he's a cool guy. trip lasted like almost half an hour. and he dropped me off IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. ok, so i might be right all along, he could be drunk.
showed my exam pass to the guy at the gate and made my way in. this place brings back some joyful memories. and i saw a board indicating exam levels and whichever classrooms. some staff there assisted me and i went to my class. we were not allowed to bring our bags inside, and we had to adapt to the japanese etiquette, which is to remove shoes. i showed my pass to the lady, she nodded and spoke to me in chinese. wakatta. i know what ur saying la.
2 hours later..
officially finished my JLPT 4 exam. i'm pretty confident for my first and last sections. if nothing screws up, i could be scoring almost perfect scores for both sections which amounts to 300 points. BUT, i had a hard time with the middle section. LISTENING that is. the radio.... is totally hard to hear la. the sound quality was crap, and everyone in my class agreed with me. i could barely hear what they were talking. and so, i'm preparing for a 0 for this section : (
went to the bustop outside school. there were like 246840830 people waiting for the same bus. i waited, and waited. about 5 bus no. 2s passed and i couldnt get on neither of them. alex-san was pissed so he suggested to walk to the MRT station instead. i agreed, Z and yvonne followed us too. alex claimed the trip was FIVE MINUTES. but it was more like 20 minutes. and we had to walk pass many grassy areas, so this was more like DAICHI class's field trip.
said bye to them when we finally reached the MRT station about an hour later. mata raishu(see you next week) then i went over to tampines mall to relieve my bladder. after that, i went over to yoshinoya to have dinner alone. because someone pangseh-ed me >: ( haha ok la i'm joking. and so, i went home directly after that. one hell of a tiring day.
MONDAY.
didnt do anything much for the whole day. just watched the last 2 episodes of goong on my latop. and i cried twice today. over goong's final episode and a japanese drama i just watched about an hour ago.
14 sai no haha. (14 year old mother in japanese)
this drama is based on a true story, and it is one damn good drama about a 14 year old girl's pregnancy. one of the best dramas that can make you cry a bucketful a day. Its protagonist, real name Shida Mirai, is merely a 13 year old girl in real life, but she is a very talented actress in my eyes.
final part before closing the entry for today. i just read someone's blog just now. and somehow got annoyed by the way this person posts on her latest entry. all i can say is, you're just not appreciative of this job that you have and probably dont deserve it in the first place either. it's already damn good to have a job that pays a decent amount for someone your age, and sadly, all you do is complain, complain and complain. i dont see anything positive coming out of you either. instead of saying something like, "i'm thankful to have this decent paying job" all i see is, "stupid this, stupid that" all you care about is nothing but money. it pisses me off to see you act this way. PLEASE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
You made me because you never changed
I think i'll move somewhere else inviting
where my heart is not being lied to,
i'll keep on trying.
