14-2

2012-02-15T10:47:00.000+08:00

Valentines Day in the past originally wasn't a day for couples to celebrate their love for each other, but apparently some motherfucker linked it to romance.

I don't get Valentines Day, because you could just surprise her on some random day which would make her far more happier than her expecting something on 14th February. Ah, modern culture.

Just happy playing games with my friends, waiting for that sms reply to come (it hardly happens), and eating pineapple tarts, which were 1 month late to appear in my home.

黄昏

2012-02-13T11:04:00.000+08:00

过完整个夏天

忧伤并没有好一些

开车行驶在公路无际无边

有离开自己的感觉

唱不完一首歌

疲倦还剩下黑眼圈

感情的世界伤害在所难免

黄昏再美终要黑夜

依然记得从你口中说出再见坚决如铁

昏暗中有种烈日灼身的错觉

黄昏的地平线

划出一句离别

爱情进入永夜

依然记得从你眼中滑落的泪伤心欲绝

混乱中有种热泪烧伤的错觉

黄昏的地平线

割断幸福喜悦

相爱已经幻灭

Unrelated note: Was very busy from schoolwork and didnt have time to update my blog. Things have been pretty hectic lately, with the last few days being finally able to play some games. Tomorrow I shall start studying!

Imperfect Trinity

Life, sleep, studies. Choose 2 out of 3.

For every benefit there is bound to have a sacrifice. But for every sacrifice..

I can't say everything that you work for will ever bear fruit.

The process of feeling hurt, growing up, and trying again is what most benefiting.

Mind-Array

2012-01-21T23:37:00.002+08:00

Naturally, there are many things left unsaid for everyone.
It could be an array of emotions, thoughts and feelings. But there will never ever be an outlet for them.
You know your own darkest secrets, you own your own thoughts. No matter how close you are with someone, these things will forever be with you, and only you.

一切尽在不言中。

Life's Rhythm

2012-01-17T22:51:00.001+08:00

I'm sure everyone, have songs that are specially attached to specific memories. Whenever the music plays, you feel like you are revisiting a certain memory, be it happy or sad.

Here is my 18 year-old playlist. Who knows what new music will be added as I go on?

- 深海,情書 among others
- Life - YUI
- 拍写 - 刘力扬
- Fire - 2NE1
- Nightmare - M2U
- Dare you to move - Switchfoot
- HOT K-POP 2009 ~ special mashup pt. II ~ (28 songs in one) - DJ Masa
- 记得 - 林俊杰

M2U

2012-01-16T23:06:00.002+08:00

Just found his first album on the internet..Violinism!
Here is the track list -
1. Intro
2. Brown Wind
3. Beyond the Prairie
4. Grafiore (really liked this word, quite cool)
5. Suicide

To me, 2,3,4 sound almost like the same because of the same instrument sets are used, and is not really groundbreaking music (like Nightmare, one of my most favorite music pieces OF ALL TIME), but still pleasant to listen to. I imagine the upbeat energy of the animals prancing in the wide grasslands, and at the same time, running against the wind and embracing freedom. Or at least, that's what I feel while listening to those tracks. Its like an arch; ending with Suicide.

2012-01-15T21:00:00.003+08:00

Just a list of items I bought for the upcoming Chinese New Year -

- $70 Black&White Blue shirt

- $70 Lee Cooper white shoes

- $50 Denizen jeans

- $60 Lloyd Attree & Smith wallet

All in the name of fashion!

Rock bottom

2012-01-15T00:20:00.001+08:00

I'm tired, physically and emotionally. But who can save me from the demon except for myself? Slowly but surely, every upbeat song on my phone is slowly being replaced by a slower song. I need to stop feeling so..

something something something.

Closure

2012-01-13T19:18:00.001+08:00

Found this really interesting "Glitch in the Matrix" story on reddit.

"I used to work in music and toured with this band. The guitarist (Josh) of the band's best friend (Matt) had died a couple years back. He always talked about the kid and he seemed like a great guy. Josh always had this re-occurring dream where Matt was standing on this abandoned street which, supposedly, was metaphorical for purgatory. Josh had all these conversations with Matt in these dreams and because he had overdosed unexpectedly, he felt like his spirit was not able to move on. At the end of the dreams, Matt would take a bulb from the street light on the street they were standing in the middle of. Josh described these dreams in extreme detail and I could pretty much picture what the street looked like.

Fast forward to about 6 months into touring with these guys. They were huge Bright Eyes fans and wanted to stop in Cassadaga, Florida (Bright Eyes' singer wrote an album there and it's a really creepy, spiritual medium place.) It might be worth noting that 6/7 of the people I was with are all atheists. So we drive into Cassadaga around 2 or 3 am and drive around. Suddenly, this big black dog comes in the middle of the road and just stops and looks at us. The guys in this band were weird as fuck and were saying things like "Follow the dog! It's trying to show us something!" And in my mind, I'm just thinking they are all fucking idiots.

We follow this dog for a few blocks, as it was walking pretty slowly. All of the sudden, we turn a street and the dog bolts. We try to speed up but Josh says "Stop the fucking van. This is it." We are all confused and he gets out of the van and looks around. "This is it. This is the street in my dreams." We hang out for about 15 minutes and from the way he described the street, from having houses on the left to a park on the right, it was definitely the street. As we get in the van, a street light goes off and we just drive off. He claims he never had anymore dreams about it, as that was closure on everything."

Feelings

2012-01-10T11:58:00.001+08:00

In school and in the freezing cold. It has been raining quite a bit these few days and the weather makes the bed so much more seductive! I could just sleep and sleep and forget about everything if I could.

I need my diary right now. Have some things on my mind I need to release badly. I have been a listening ear to everyone, and I wonder..who will ever listen to my feelings?

Jiayou!

Oh and I plan to memorize the Korean Alphabet next weekend for self-enrichment and satisfaction. Much better than brooding over all the things in my head right now.

******************************************
JJ lin's new album is quite awesome!

I liked "故事細膩" in particular, along with the title song "學不會".
My brother liked "We Together" the most though! I guess he likes those techno-esque music with upbeat tones.

Oh and at this age of 18, I can finally sing really high pitches without breaking! Singing JJ Lin's songs are now a possibility~

3 more minutes before the first day of 2012 is over! Actually..I don't really care!

Alcohol

2011-12-29T00:10:00.000+08:00

It really makes me feel much more relaxed at the end of the day. I can feel my senses slowly floating away as the night gains it's secrecy and serenity. The mild bitter of alcohol, the slight tartness of cranberry.. I feel the warmth in my stomach; warmth I really need right now. I feel as if I can sleep more peacefully later on. At least, much better than the few nights before.

Water

2011-12-23T20:45:00.000+08:00

I usually have a cup of water with me when I'm on my computer. And I always see those poor ants trying to get to the water source, but drown in vain. I hope we will not be like the ants; In the pursuit of our objectives we succumb to itself.

Went to the training session for Vanguard! card fight last saturday. The first location was at "The Anime House". The feeling of being in a shop full of dudes and questionable anime content was really unnerving, however. I think I would not step into that place again; it feels really funny!

Trains

2011-12-14T16:45:00.001+08:00

I was in front of the Circle line train doors waiting to board. The left-most door is faulty (was written on a sign), and so the crowd were to exit from the other door.

As they thronged through, I thought of something: "how does the train know when is the time to close the doors? Is there any sophisticated mechanism to do it? Or just a typical timer?"

As the people took longer to alight due to the faulty door, I immediately knew the answer..

An old man had his bag stuck in between the doors, and he was one of the first to board the train. Guess its just a timer, the incident is an anomaly,and the train system is not "SM(A)RT" enough.

Quote

2011-12-12T18:38:00.004+08:00

Saw this on a book in Popular, and I think this is really meaningful.　

面對人生，很多人經常感嘆︰
「如果那時，我可以……」或是「如果當初沒有……」
把自己困在悔恨和不甘心裡，
卻忘了，在這些情緒中，
過去不可能改變，當下卻已悄悄溜走。

如果你真的想改變什麼，請記得，
只有在當下，改變才有可能。
眼前的任何決定，都將影響下一秒鐘的命運。
如果不希望未來某個時刻，像過去一樣後悔或失望，
那麼，現在唯一能阻止悲劇重演的，只有你自己。

Book URL: 人生沒有如果，這才是人生：人生不能重來，當下的選擇，決定你未來的人生。

Woke up to the gloomy clouds.

I didn't get selected for the Hainan Expedition! Perhaps I'm not good enough. At least I know I tried my best for the interview. Goodbye children of the Hainan school, I won't be seeing you guys. :(

Since I unwillingly have extra time, I thought of a list of things I want to buy.

-DJ MAX TECHNIKA VITA(and a PSP Vita just for it!)
- A guitar
-Guild wars 2

And these cards!

Yu-Gi-Oh!
-Dark Deal
-Morphing Jar
A Vanguard deck?! (The gameplay looks quite fun, may just buy a starter deck to try it out!)

Total price!
~$435+$50+$65+$4+$4+$50=$605.
That is a lot of cash.

2011-12-09T08:15:00.001+08:00

And there is this Hulk in front of me. I wonder what would become of him when he gets old; all those bulky muscle mass would just turn into a hindrance once he stops exercising!

Thought of picking up a musical instrument during the holidays. I want to learn the piano, but it's too bulky and expensive. Perhaps the guitar?

Oh and I dreamt of snow and cats yesterday. And my uncle.

夜长梦多..

The rich and the irresponsible.

2011-12-07T14:51:00.001+08:00

Just spotted a racing car parked in the bus interchange, and it was clamped by the police. I wonder who in their right mind would park in the middle of the bus interchange; No matter how rich you are, you mustn't lose sight of what is right and what is wrong. Money can't buy morals and common sense, dear driver.

Having a throbbing headache right now. Guess I'll drink more water and maybe take a short nap later.

Oh and I have been listening to this very frequently these few days:

After-school thoughts

2011-12-05T21:28:00.001+08:00

Sometimes I wonder whether our module lessons get reviewed regularly. In today's practical we were to implement several security policies on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Virtual Machine to conform with Defense Information Security Agency's (DISA) prescribed policy settings. However, the checklist we were given for the practical is actually for Windows Server 2000! Noticed quite a lot of discrepancies; some policy specifications could not be found at all.

Also, the lessons this semester are all dry and tasteless..found myself dozing off during the lectures even though I am not tired. I am, for one, not a really theory-ish person.

P.S. I changed the skin of my blog! Looks really neat.

A trip

2011-12-04T22:37:00.001+08:00

Went to the Giant,Ikea and Courts megastores today to do some grocery shopping.

Had coffee at Ikea, and a bun. Ikea is having something like a donation drive where for every soft toy they sold they would donate some to charity. Didn't buy anything there though.

Courts is having their 5th anniversary promotions or something. They gave out free popcorn and coffee! Picked up a random "Buddha jumped over the wall" recipe from Courts.

The soup Auntie gave had the following sequence of taste:

1. First it was refreshing and fragrant
2. Then it was freaking salty
3. Finally leaving an oily aftertaste

I figured if I were to get the spices myself from a TCM store instead of buying the prepared version I could get rid of the saltiness, and be able to control how much oil I can add into the pot.

In Giant I got myself some fancy bread (chocolate chip custard), yuzu fruit juice, some vegetables and snacks. Looking around the vegetable area is depressing, because I CANNOT FIND BABY SPINACH. Looks like Fate doesn't want me to make the dish I drafted. =.= Also saw 2 Breezers going at $6.65 but didn't buy. I bought them cheaper last time! I made a note to try the cranberry Breezer next time.

I thought I would get myself a notebook next time. I want to pen down my recipes there.

P.S. Been listening to Chinese songs very frequently nowadays. JJ Lin all the way!

2011-12-03T23:06:00.001+08:00

In this technological age, I sometimes feel that giving something to someone in a digital format is not so..memorable. I prefer to personally write to people; Take a piece of nice paper and pen my feelings down slowly and conscientiously.

And then I would fold my own envelope with some hard paper and place the letter into it. This way (in my opinion, at least) could not be any more personal and sincere. Besides, the other person would cherish it more, as there will be only one copy of it..

Like a Polaroid photo!

2011-12-02T07:04:00.003+08:00

Woke up to yet another rainy day. Have a practical test later, and I hope that the SQL statements, AJAX, JSON and Javascript stay prominent in my brain and not hide somewhere deep.

On the other hand, I have no idea why my mind is in a whirling mess. Definitely, the practical test is not only thing I'm thinking about right now.

I guess that over-thinking is really my weakness. I'll try to take things slowly, day by day.

心情

2011-11-30T19:38:00.012+08:00

突然想用华文记下。我这一生来所记住的事情实在太多了，想把一点一滴慢慢回味。

第一次恋爱失败，就是纯纯因为我根本不喜欢，但要尝试一下谈恋爱是什么滋味罢了。她追的方式我真的摸不着；她就以讽刺的语言与令人反感的口碑来追。根本不知到有着样的追法。我不欣赏。

分手后，我还对她死缠烂打；不是因为对她有突然的感情，而是当时幼稚，懵懂，还以为谈恋爱只是要两人在一起这样简单。并非。

第二次的恋爱，坦白的讲，我不知到自己在想些什么。不知道自己是否只因为孤独呢，朋友的影响呢，才去追她的。根本跟她不配；水火不相容。她爱读书，我爱玩耍。我非常珍惜与对方一对一的时间，她爱天天叫朋友来参与。还有，她不是我喜欢的那种女孩！

分手后，我并没有执著。只是想，为什么这么快就结束？

*****

就因“自由”。

我也有错；我太自私，我爱吃醋，我会疑神疑鬼，我幼稚。就可能是因为这样，每一次谈的“恋爱”，留下来的都是失望和不解。

现在，我会比以前更专心地聆听别人的心声，了解对方到底须要什么。现在，还是会吃醋，但是适可而止。现在，了解自由对彼此的可贵性和重要性。

觉得自己渐渐变成熟了。

2011-11-30T06:53:00.009+08:00

Reminder to self: Never eat bananas in the morning! Had stomachache throughout the day yesterday. On another note, it looks like everyone is catching on to the Chinese chess fever in class! During break times and free period my classmates will be playing it with one another, and the others would sit around and whisper fervently about the ongoing game. Every move is tension, and the aura surrounding them when they are playing is simply unbearable.

Once in a while I would try to break the tension like suggesting some useless tactics: "You might want to move your soldier. Or maybe your cannon? How about the car? Hmm I think the horse would be a better piece to move. Perhaps your general?"

On the other hand, there was this guy who said that he was taught by a chess grand-master when he was young. What did I think of it? Let's put it this way; If I had a dollar for every time he bullshits, I would have enough to stop the European economic meltdown.

...

"Oh is that my horse?"

"Yes, your color what."

"Hohoho means I can eat your cannon"

*moves it like an elephant, laughter ensues*

Chess grand-master? Either your teacher is a tree trunk or that your brain has the absorbency of fuck. (or both?)

Kept me entertained for that moment anyway.

Another morning

2011-11-27T10:33:00.002+08:00

Wake up in the morning doing resume. In a bid to find all the certificates I had in the past, I dug out some interesting items like a handmade bookmark by my primary school teacher, a colonel badge and a unused pen (well a pen is not really that interesting). I even found certificates I don't even remember getting!

Bad news, I couldn't get the ingredients I need for the dish I'm planning to make. Looks like I have to make an extra trip after school tomorrow to get them.

Just a quote: 所谓的厉害，就是让这个世界，因为有了我，会有一点点差别。

2011-11-26T16:39:00.002+08:00

Just another lazy day for me. I think I will read up on some of my module lecture notes, and then make some progress with my newly bought introversion humble bundle, and go for a good night's rest. Oh and my neighbour's son is getting married soon! She has invited us over for buffet later at night.

Remember I said I wanted to learn cooking? Well I took note of one recipe I will be trying to perfect. Buying the ingredients and making the dish tomorrow! Thought of using baby spinach leaves instead of lettuce leaves for a salad. Wonder what would the end result taste like.. I hope I succeed!

Today.

2011-11-24T17:39:00.005+08:00

Went on the virgin trip to the gym today.I feel like an idiot for going in the first time; I haven't seen these machines before in my entire life! There were machines for training biceps, triceps, abdomen, calf, etc etc. Got to try out most of them after listening to advice given by my friends..got to say, it's not really easy for someone who has not been exercising for almost 2 years.

Before that we went to run 2.4km. I ran only 5/6 of the rounds and my body couldn't take it anymore.I wanted to press on, but I knew my limits; I would vomit if I were to push myself further. From that moment, I decided to add jogging into a list of things I would do during my free time.

To be honest, Someone kind of like changed me. I've been lazy and unproductive. I knew that person likes to go to the gym and keep healthy. That person keeps herself occupied by working during her free time. That person likes to cook her own meals.

I have never changed so much for someone before; You will never know how small of a spark would ignite a larger fire..

I started to exercise (and of course, because of next year's NAPFA), I yearn to find a job to work during my free time, and want to learn how to cook. I want to stop wasting my time. I want to make everyday worthwhile. I want to look back at any day and say, "Hey, I accomplished something today!"

Today, I accomplished something. I went to my first gym trip, and I am proud of it.

P.S. Gone will be random short posts on this blog! I will write things that are really important to me. These feelings are something I find it hard to bring across to people, even my close friends. So I guess I'll leave it here; Sometimes I wonder whether I'm talking to the walls..

some holiday planning

2011-11-23T19:04:00.003+08:00

I don't know why, but I have been thinking a lot these few days. After talking to some people, and reading some material, I feel like I need to stop wasting time. And so, here are my holiday plans!

Weekdays - work (or diploma plus)
I need to stop waking up at 7am just to play games. =.=

Weekends - guitar lessons!
The reason behind this is actually quite simple.
I want to tell people "Hey, I know how to play the guitar",
I want to play my favorite songs,
and also because I have a YUI guitar pick.

Every Saturday - cooking!!
Since Saturday afternoons me and my brother would usually go out to eat, why not cook a meal at home? Every Friday morning I would take note of the ingredients at home, make a list, and every Friday night I would go and buy extra ingredients. I'm not sure what would I cook, but day after day, I hope to finally cook a meal for my family.

I need to stop procrastination in its tracks. RIGHT. NOW.
Stop idling on YouTube waiting for new videos to pop up.
Block 9gag.
Finish my work promptly.
Read through covered topics everyday.

I want to, after a few months, to look back at this post and tell myself:

"Hey, I'm good."

2011-11-10T21:25:00.001+08:00

I like listening to random songs sometimes.
生命　何時開始
確信不疑偶遇你時
凝望你一雙眼開始
但思念如何休止
見你之時　已是太遲　
無辦法共同過日子
不想想起偏更記起　
假裝開心心更悲
輾轉翻側因為你起
願你不是你

只好　
愛你痛到不知痛　
緣來緣離沒法懂
然而如從未相逢　
來年回頭夢更空

天地　何時終止　
遠去之時　告別你時　
全部已不再有意思
問生命　誰人主使　
說有選擇　
乃是托辭誰沒有為情變自私
可揀選不戀上你麼　
可揀選不想你麼
種種揀選可以許多　
若我不是我
只好　
愛你痛到不知痛
緣來緣離沒法懂
然而如何路不同　
曾同行寒夜雪中

愛你痛到不知痛　
緣來緣離沒法懂

Know what song is this? :D

back from chalet

2011-10-13T22:20:00.004+08:00

I'm finally back home! Post exam paradise 2 was really fun; There were good food, company, games.. It would be my first and only bbq where we ate sashimi, scallops and mussels. Drank quite a bit too; drinks like tequila, ordinger, heineken, russian vodka, bacardi and choya! Choya is REALLY REALLY AWESOME. Sweet, sour and really fragrant.

Enjoyed mahjong too, partly because I got a 天胡.. its a 1/330000 chance to get it, and I doubt I would see it ever again in my life.

I really enjoyed myself there! Made a lot of new friends! Laughed at Jovi rolling around when he was drunk.

On a side note, I will be buying YUI's "How Crazy Your Love" limited edition album when it comes out!

YUI's green a.live diary post

2011-10-07T07:34:00.001+08:00

皆さん、こんばんは。
Good afternoon, everyone.

YUIです。
It’s YUI.

結構冷え込んできましたね。
風邪ひかないように温かくしていきましょう！
今日10/5、新曲「Green a.live」がリリースになりました！！
こたつに入ったら外に出たくない時期にリリースです。笑
まだこたつは早いですね。。
私も寒いのがニガテなので外出時には、かなり着込みます…
ぜひCDショップへ外出の際は(笑)厚着して気温差に気をつけてくださいね♪
It’s getting pretty cold isn’t it?
Let’s keep us warm to prevent catching a cold!
Today, 10/5, the new song “Green a.live” has been released!
It’s the season we’re bound with kotatsu (Japanese traditional table with a heater and a cover) against the cool atmosphere. (haha)
It’s still to soon for a kotatsu right..
Since I don’t like the cold much, when I go outside I often wear extra clothes…
Please, by the time you go out to the CD shops (Haha) Do wear thick clothing to be safe from the temperature variations ♪

冗談はさておきですが。。
Jokes aside..

新曲「Green a.live」は、
The new song “Green a.live,”

今年色々な事が起きて本当に色々な事を考え、そして、悲しみを、無力感を、焦りを感じました。
今何が出来るんだろうと。
Many things have happened this year, and I have really thought of many things. Also, I felt sorrow, I felt helpless and also impatient.
I thought if there was something I could do this time.

そして今自分の生活を精一杯頑張る事が
何かに繋がるんじゃないかと思って過ごしていました。
And I advanced thinking maybe something good will come out
by giving my utmost effort in my own life?

宮城県へ「皆と一緒に歌をうたえないかな？」と思い行った旅では
小学校、中学校、高校にお邪魔して、2、3曲
皆と一緒に歌うことができました。
I made a trip to Miyagi prefecture thinking “can’t we sing together?”
So I went to a primary, secondary and high school and we sang together 2 or three songs.

素敵な笑顔とパワー、たくさんの元気をもらって、
何てあたたかいんだろうと思いました。
乗り越えて生きていかなくちゃいけないという言葉が浮かんできました。
私の祈りや願いを込めて、「あなたにも来てほしんだ」という気持ちを込めました。
そこにいる人が笑顔でいられたらいいなと願います。
Beautiful smiles and power, I received so much energy.
I thought “how warm!”
The words “We must live to overcome this” came to my mind.
I hope the people living there can maintain those smiling faces.

大切な人を想うからこその憎しみや疑問をそのまま込めようと想いました。
そして、何で平等じゃないんだという憤りも。
I thought the tune would show the hatred and scruples since we miss our dears (victims).
Also feeling indignation for things being not fair.

でも、私の願いは泣いた後に必ず笑顔がやってくるようにということです。
皆がいつも幸せな気持ちでいられますように。
But, my wish is that smiles always come after cries.
And that everyone always have feelings of happiness.

とりとめのない文章になってしまいましたが、
くれぐれも風邪には気をつけていきましょうね！
This has become a rambling entry however,
let’s earnestly take care not to catch a cold!

たくさんの感謝と愛を込めて。
With many thanks and love.

YUI

Tomorrow is the day I will take the final certification exam paper, and to my holidays! Unfortunately the "holidays" is only 1 week long before school starts.
BUT, its still a good way to spend the term break; At least better than wasting time away at home.
Saving up money to buy YUI's green a.live album, Guild Wars 2, DotA 2, yugioh cards..
Gosh so many things to buy, so little funds. Y_Y

------------------------------
愛、無力のまま噛み締めた
白く無情に嘆くより働いた

深夜のバーガーショップ
朝を待つ少女がひとり・・・
アタシが無くしたものは何?

愛しても引き裂かれるほど
oh your love
あなたの温もりを想い出す
oh tell me

正義って何だろう?
憎しみは何処へゆくの? oh baby
ねぇ神様は誰の
味方をするんだろう?
Come a.live

dance 踊るみたいに笑ったら
ひらりスカートの裾
邪魔になった

都会をさまよって
奇麗なものに触れるたび
変われない自分に気づいてる

悲しみはいずれ優しさになる
oh get back
優しさは人を守るチカラに
but for me

精一杯だよ
今を生き抜くために oh baby
ねぇ神様は誰を
守ろうとしているの?

いつだって未来を信じているから
同じ時代に生まれて来た
あなたと一緒に

確かな手応えが欲しくて
No No No
Love, your love
苦しくもなるんだ

なのに正義って何だろう?
憎しみは何処へゆくの? oh baby
でも生きてゆかなくちゃ
・・・Tomorrow's way

愛しても引き裂かれるほど
no crime 罪もなき
現実を受け止める No No No

十年先、灯す明かりのために
oh baby
いま明日へとむかうの
あなたにも来て欲しい
Come a.live

YUI says she read the original novel and script for the film before writing the song and based it on that. She says that the director asked her to write a slow tempo number, but other than that, she was free to write what she liked. She says that she wrote the song with a slightly positive tone since the move ends on a sad note. She says that she usually writes songs while humming with nonsensical YUI-language lyrics, but this time the Japanese lyrics came to her first (specifically, 'ai no uta wo kikasete yo') and she wrote the rest of the song from there.

The interviewer asks her how she felt during the scene when the protagonist looks at the person they love and sees that that person is looking at someone else. YUI says that it made her feel how miserable unrequited love is. The interviewer then points out that the protagonist still loved that person despite the pain. YUI agrees with that, and says that she feels that she expressed that with 'mou deatte shimatta no ('we've already met'). YUI mentions that the director was surprised to hear the finished product, the chord progression and the song in general came out stronger than what he imagined, and he might have had an acoustic song in mind. But YUI stood her ground and the director came to like the song. YUI feels very strongly that the song was perfect for the film, the lyrics and the music.

YUI says that 'L&T' has a slightly different touch than her previous works due to the orchestra. She says that she was thinking of how the song would play over the end credits, so she wanted an orchestra.

She says that writing the song for the movie added another element to the songwriting, in that she had to consider the song from the aspect of the movie in addition to how it will sound at lives, the theme of the lyrics and the beat and other various criteria. She says it meant that she had to be concerned about more people's opinions than usual.

She says that when she recorded the vocals she focussed on having the cry of someone pained with unrequited love. She tried a new vocal style, straining her voice a bit more. She says the orchestra made it easy to get into the mood of the song.

She says the hard rock parts of the song are meant to symbolise misery; the combination of quiet and rough parts express the conflict of this sort of love.

She says she titled the song 'LOVE & TRUTH' because she wanted to sing a simple love song and those were the words she arrived at ultimately. She says she wants everyone to listen to this song and think of their own personal 'love' and 'truth'.

The interviewer asks her what she would do if she were in the protagonist's position. YUI says that she would want to be able to accept the past, to have that strength to say that. She says that was the one line in her song she wanted to stress most: 'Kako mo zenbu ukeireru tte kimeta (I've decided to accept all of the past).' She says that when you want to be with someone you love, whether you can or cannot accept the past holds significant meaning.

YOU

2011-06-26T00:37:00.000+08:00

ずっと待っていたの
言えなかったけど

足りない日々をそっと
埋めるように
笑ってた

触れるだけで
壊れた

指先から
離れて
消えた

さよなら
あなたを忘れられるほど
素敵な夢をみたいの

こんなに
綺麗な灯かりともしたら
うつむいてられないでしょ？

もっと知りたいこと
いくつもあるの

無くしたわけじゃない
元の場所へ
戻るだけ

違う人を
愛した

わかるような
気がして
泣いた

さよなら
あなたを忘れられるほど
素敵な夢などないわ

どんなに
綺麗な灯かりともしても
鏡の前に立ち止まる

自信なんてないの
きっと誰も同じはず・・・

あなたの横顔
想い出していたの

いつまでも
あなたを忘れられないまま
夢の続きを探した

怖いものなんて
なくならないんだ
あたしにもわかってきたわ
うつむいてられないでしょ？

I was always waiting for you
even though I couldn’t say it

I laughed
to softly cover
the insufficient days that passed

with just experiencing it
I fell through

from the fingertips
we were separated
and disappeared

good bye
to the point I’ll be able to forget you
I want to see a lovely dream

If I turn on this kind of beautiful light
you can’t cast your eyes down, right?

there are many things
I want to know more of

That isn’t the reason I disappeared
I’d just went back to my original place

I fell in love with another
person
I feel like I understand this
so I cried

Good bye
to the point I can forget you
there aren’t such as things as lovely dreams

No matter what kind of beautiful light I turn on,
I’ll be standing still in the front of a mirror

I don’t have any confidence
I’m sure everyone feels the same

I suddenly remembered
your side face

Forever
without forgetting you
I’ve started to search the continuation
of this dream

Scary things
won’t disappear
I’ve understood that
you can’t cast your eyes down, right?

2011-06-09T05:52:00.000+08:00

If I could stop dreaming, I would.

^^

2011-05-29T22:35:00.004+08:00

Was pleasantly surprised by www.ihoneydew.com that they released YUI's new album sooner than expected!

<3

I like YOU. Not you, silly, the song! (寒い。。。)

Quick! Listen to it before they take it down! Thats the shorter version of the song, you can get a listen of the full version from me :D

Gonna buy this album soon!

Hahaha anyway, I hope I can memorise the entire katakana table by this weekend ;D

2011-05-26T06:26:00.001+08:00

5 years ago in secondary 1 I listened to this song while going to school.

5 years from then? Well I'm still listening to the same song!

LIFE.

I have great friends, great school results and a great family.

But why sometimes do I dream, and wake up feeling empty inside?

I hate that feeling. It's like my heart being drilled out from the inside.

Then I just cannot go back to sleep afterwards.

To everyone in Japan and those places affected:

2011-03-12T22:48:00.002+08:00

May God bless you.

I was relieved to read that YUI is safe;

YUIですが、
This is YUI,
無事です。
and I’m safe.

ご心配をお掛けいたしまして、申し訳ございません。
まだ余震が続く可能性もあるそうなので、
皆様、何卒お気をつけ下さい。
I’m really sorry for made all of you worry about me.
Because there’s a possibility that aftershock earthquake will come,
Everyone, by all means please take care.

Just had a VERY enjoyable chalet!

2011-03-04T15:41:00.007+08:00

4 days 3 nights in NSRCC and we did :

- Steamboat
(YES STEAMBOAT..we prepared all the ingredients and stuff. Eat like a family!)

- Pizza

- Trekking to the nearest bus stop..which is 2-3 km away from our chalet lol

- Admire the beautiful scenery

- BAR BHI KYOO.

- Kings (its a fun drinking game! If you dont know what Kings is, you are lame haha jk)

Overall the turn out was good, 36 people turned out for bbq; jin an had to leave early because of family dinner.

And we invited Mr lim! :D

2011-02-28T22:23:00.003+08:00

I feel like picking up a new hobby or learn something new during the holidays. Origami perhaps? Or should I go back to doodling; what I always do in my primary / secondary school days.

I just folded a rose!

..but im not showing it to you because it looks ugly hahaha

2011-02-25T21:58:00.003+08:00

I have one word for you.

wow.

I cant hate you for being someone you are.
And oh I can also say "you dont know me too", but what the fuck.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

2011-02-18T00:31:00.003+08:00

I didnt know YUI could rock this hard!
Highway chance live so much better than the album version in my opinion :D
Look at her epic face on this video thumbnail lol.

ROCK ON, YUI!

Translation:
But it can’t end like this, I don’t want to end it, do I?
I’m waiting for a chance
Quietly waiting for a chance

You can’t run away, through the airport or through the harbour
Life won’t let you get away, yeah, so easily
Going home, hurrying home, it’s the same at night
There’s no way out

You can’t run from hunger or defeat
Life won’t let you get away, yeah, so easily
It won’t even let you do things over
So look forward
This isn’t a video game

It’s like getting on the highway from a loop road – that kind of image
You push forward, but the reality is
It’s lying in the palm of someone’s hand

No matter how hard things get, no matter how sad you get, you mustn’t run away
Life won’t let you get away, yeah, so easily
So don’t give up, you can’t get down on yourself
Your chance will come
That day is getting closer

It’s like getting on the highway from a loop road – that kind of image
You push forward, but the reality is
It’s lying in the palm of someone’s hand

But it can’t end like this, I don’t want to end it, do I?
It’s crunch time, as I summon up all my strength
I’m waiting for a chance
Quietly waiting for a chance

It’s like getting on the highway from a loop road – that kind of image
I’m going to move on, so I can make that image reality

If I’m not going to let my highway chance slip away
I can’t take my eyes off it; bye bye, I’m going to catch up right now

TOKYO

2011-02-16T21:32:00.005+08:00

A short description; YUI left her hometown, Fukuoka for Tokyo to expand on her music career. This song TOKYO, is about how she misses her hometown and didnt want to go to Tokyo. I just watched her (rather old) live performance. Had to stop halfway when she suddenly walked back from the mic.

Lyrics translation:
The day has come when I will leave the room I’m so used to living in
My new journey is still disorienting me

On the bus to the station
I emailed my friend

On the platform in the morning, I tried calling too
But it felt like something had changed

I’ve brought one old guitar with me
I’ve left all my photos behind

Letting something go and then gaining something new
Does the same cycle repeat itself?

When I pretend to be strong, it always leads to dreams
When I let myself be cowardly, they stop

As the train began to move
I cried a little

I prayed that the road that spread out outside the window
Wouldn’t change

The person who gave me the old guitar
Said he was afraid of Tokyo

I’ve stopped looking for answers
It doesn’t matter if I make mistake after mistake

The red sunset is cut up by the buildings
I hold back my tears

But the beginning of each new morning
Will bring confusion for me, won’t it?

I can’t only choose the right things
That much I know
__________________________________________________

I love her more than ever now! <3 YUI, Ganbatte!

5 MEN - 1

2010-09-29T10:44:00.002+08:00

Okay, yesterday we (Zhongsheng Keehock Alvin Jin An and me) went to Payar lebar for lunch, then proceeded to play YUGIOH at JJ's World. I spent $25 on a special pack but got nothing very important =(; none of the cards I wanted were in there!

Moving on, Jin An went home so we proceeded to Kallang Leisure Park. Slack there, played some arcade (Alvin just practically played 30 minutes with 50 cents), then ate KFC. Alvin was caling everyone and asking about their results LOL.

Moving on, we walked to Old Airport Road, then moved to Geylang then took bus 14. We walked one HUGE round, really, and at the same time providing a buffet meal for the mosquitoes. Moved to 313 then to Orchard Centre..I never been to these places before, can you believe that? hahaha I'm a peasant LOL. The rooftop garden of OC was freaking cool, then while walking I acted like I was in Counter-strike and L4d2, since there were 4 of us.

Ate ice cream and discussed about our chalet plan, THEN the most epic moment which we almost missed: WE SAW FELICIA CHIN LOL. She was filming at OC for some commercial for Goldheart, but we couldn't bother her just to take pictures with us so...

END OF THE STORY OF 5 MEN - 1. By the way, we were lucky we didn't take any pictures, because we took the last train home LOL.

Taiyō no Uta

2010-09-19T11:30:00.005+08:00

Okay so, yesterday I was listening to YUI's songs and remembered that YUI casted in a movie. So hey, since I have some spare time, why dont I go and watch it?
The movie is Taiyō no Uta (Song of the Sun).

I'm not gonna put any plot sypnosis here, because it would spoil the movie! Just watch if you want to here:

The rest of the parts are in the playlist in that movie part in youtube. Just click on the video to open the page in a new window!
This movie is probably the first movie I have ever cried to (YESSSS), and more than once throughout the movie; partly because the song lyrics are subtitled, and you get to really feel the meaning of the song.

Since its supposed to be romance and tragic-themed, get ready some tissues just in case! I watched this movie like at 12am, so thats probably why I couldnt wake up until 11am today.

ENJOY! Oh please dont get popcorn, just in case you get your popcorn salted from your tears LOL

Every 2nd and 4th friday...

2010-09-18T00:40:00.002+08:00

IS SECONDARY SCHOOL DINNER! This time, we went to the same place last two fridays ago. And this time, we had sooooo much fun! We played several old-school games like:
- Go Jump Go
- Thumb game
- Chop Chitty Chop, Concentration and Memory playstyles.
It was so epic fun we took 3 videos and had a shitload of stomach pain and ROFL and LMAO (you could really see their asses falling off LOL).

If you do not know these games, here are how you play them.
Go Jump Go - While everyone is sitting down in a circle, you start with the tempo of clapping your thighs, then your hands then making a thumbs up sign and thrusting it backwards over your shoulders. This counts as one beat of the tempo. At the time when you thrust your thumbs backwards, you are supposed to say a number in order, like if you are starting, you say 1, while looking at the direction you want the flow of the game to be. The second guy says 2, and so on.
The catch is, for every number with multiples of 3 or has 3 inside, you have to use these 3 commands: Go, Jump or Back. Go passes to the next player, Jump jumps the next player to the next next player while Back reverses the order and passes to the previous player. The player who says wrong gets kicked out of the match/ does a forfeit!

Thumb game - Everyone shows their fists with their thumbs above, kinda like when you control a fighter jet. A random person starts, and calls out a number. Then, when the number is called, other players can raise either one or two thumbs. The number of raised thumbs are added..if the number is the same as the called number, the player loses a hand, and when both hands are lost, the player wins the game in first place, but the game can be carried on until a loser is revealed.

Chop Chitty Chop (CONCENTRATION PLAYSTYLE)- Start with a person. He/she declares a direction for the game to flow, and then everyone says the same chant: "CHOP CHITTY CHOP CHITTY CHOP CHOP CHOP".
For every set of beats, the starting player have to do an action, while the second player follows his PREVIOUS action. This flow continues all the way. A loser is chosen when he does the wrong move or he lagged and did the move too late.

(MEMORY PLAYSTYLE)
The first person does an action, while the beat is over, the second player have to do the previous action(s) and add another of his action without any delays. Then this cycle continues!

Fun Fact

2010-09-16T13:22:00.003+08:00

During MidAuthumn Festival there are mooncakes and pomeloes, but I want to focus on tea today! If you didn't know, I like to drink tea without sugar and without milk. Yes it might be weird, but trust me its nicer, and you get to taste the bare feel of the tea.

Anyway, here is a song!

chAngE - miwa
Change
Nabikanai nagasarenai yo
Ima kanjiru koto ni sunao de itai no

Atashi wa atashi rashiku I wanna change Change !
I won't be bent and dragged along
I want to stay true to what I'm feeling now
Change !
No matter how many times I'm reborn
I'll embrace my sorrow as I run

I met a sad betrayal
But I didn't fall for it; I'm right here
It's not enough; it's never ending
It becomes more distorted
This world, which is reduced into pattern
Makes me lose sight of who I am
I don't want to be bound by restrictions
So don't make decisions for me

I'm going down a trackless path
Because just standing there and waiting
Will never get you anywhere

Change !
I won't be bent and dragged along
I want to stay true to what I'm feeling now
I won't let them have it their way
Change !
No matter how many times I'm reborn
I'll embrace my sorrow as I run
I can't return to your side anymore
In my own way, I wanna change

What's with that hesitation ?
Where's your unhurt self ?
It's not vanishing
It doesn't become rusty, so shake it off
It draws even more attention
This world has begun to be aware of the change
I'm flipping a new page, imitating it
And what are you imitating to be the future you think of ?

I'm going down the loveless tomorrow
Don't stop listening; I'm missing you
I want to go forward

Change !
I will not stop, and I'm not looking back
At any time, I wish to search for the truth
I even think that tears are beautiful
Change !
I will never forget, and I will never lose you
I'll still embrace my happiness as I run
I've finally run from your side
In my own ways, I wanna change

Before I change, you were there
Before you change, I was there
Change, change
I'll run

Change !
I won't be bent and dragged along
I want to stay true to what I'm feeling now
I won't let them have it their way
Change !
No matter how many times I'm reborn
I'll still embrace my sadness as I run
If we are able to see the same view again
Someday, I want to come back to you
In my own ways, I wanna change

Last day

2010-09-12T23:00:00.002+08:00

Of work, and I feel kinda reluctant to leave the shop at Queensway. I'm gonna miss a whole lot of things:
- The shop environment with the music blasting 24/7
- Fahmi's singing (not really sure how to spell your name LOL)
- chit chat with Val,
- The Uncle opposite our store (MEN'S CHOICE COLLEZIONS),
- The Auntie in Macs who always mess up the greetings,
- Yi Wen for being such a cheerful girl!
- The relaxed atmosphere in Queensway.

I miss you all, and I will definitely come back to visit. =D

If you are reading this

2010-09-11T07:16:00.002+08:00

I just wanna say that, everyone is special. There is always something in anyone that is worth fighting for. I'm not sad, I didn't cry, I just don't feel anything right now. Because, even my tears gave up on you.

A day at work

2010-09-09T22:52:00.002+08:00

Was fun! I get to sell about 7 pairs of shoes hehe. Then it was my first time using the price-tag gun lol and closing the shop. So my workmates are all lao jiao already, and they are really friendly and funny. Valerie said that I should sign a rules and regulations form, so I took it out and, being my habit, went to correct ALL THE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS on the form LOL. There were about 30 errors, so I had a pretty fun time editting while they couldnt tahan me.

Okay, different story liao, on my bus home there was this bangla who sat beside me. He had very bad body odour. Whats worse, he keep brushing to me, so I had to like lean to one corner to stop it. THEN, THE WORSE THING IS, when I tried to get out of my seat, he didnt even pivot his legs to go out. SO, I HAD TO SQUEEZE THROUGH HIM. Im pretty sure hes a gay fag that enjoys this kind of stuff.

Once I got out of bus, I turned and looked at the guy and almost pulled out my middle finger, but I managed to turn it into a hair-sweeping action before it came out...see I'm so civilized LOL.

After working, I really want to get a Crocs myself (if have discount hehehehehe)

Woah, 101

2010-09-09T08:15:00.001+08:00

I passed my 100th post yesterday! Good morning haha, im starting work today! =D Hope it works out for me hahaha, especially after playing blackshot until so late this early morning. To everyone having their last paper today...jiayou!

2010-09-03T23:24:00.002+08:00

It all started with a post by Ronnie. He was looking for people for his friend to work in an exhibit. So I asked him, he gave me a number then...
After sending our ICs and name to a person, and the person replied.
So I said goodnight!
She/he replied nites kiddo!
So I was thinking, EH THIS GUY SO GUAILAN LOL. I was assuming he/she was the same age as us. Jin An also got quite a guailan reply, so I smsed my friend's friend, saying that the person was guailan. Then she said it was a girl. LOL.

Then immediately I got a msg from the person: I got guailan meh????
So I replied in a friendly tone: Haha no lah, you called me a kiddo.
Then she replied. Huh not kiddo meh? born in 93 de?? Kaozzzz!!!!!
LOL so here I was quite angry already. SO GUAILAN.
Then Jin An got a sms from her.

She was her mother. LOL....
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. So I told her, hi Rachel's mum!
"Lmao!!! Hi back kiddo! And yes, i am a guailan mum!!! LOL!!!"
so okay, tensions over, so I replied:
"Dam guailan lah LOL"
"Alrite than...thank u kiddo!! Lol!!". Haha nice english spelling there
Then it was immediately followed with:
"Haaaaahaaaaaaa!!! A very modern guailan mum!!! U r lucky!!! :p"

When you see a haha with 5 a's then followed with 7 a's, you know you have to laugh.

Most epic sms convo I have ever had.

SWENSENS

2010-09-01T19:54:00.007+08:00

FOR TEACHER'S DAY CELEBRATION! We invited Ms Sayuri and Mrs Corrinne Liu (I hope I spelt her name correctly HAHAHA) to Swensens for lunch. It was a very fun session, everyone bought 1-for-1 lunch with someone; I ordered chicken baked rice while oj ordered hot and spicy. Some of my friends even ordered to main courses lOL.

Then, it is the GIANT EARTHQUAKE. OH YEAH.

Altogether, it cost me roughly $11, which isn't that bad. ITS SWENSENS! I loved the lime flavour on the ice cream and the chewy chocolate.

Haha, Ms Sayuri do you like the Doaremon cushion? Hope it reminds you of us! Mrs Liu, even though you didnt teach me, I know you are a very good and funny teacher and I hope you enjoy your gift and also, your retirement! hahaha.

Once again, HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!

THE FOC!

And the final price. Imagine if there wasnt a promotion going on :O

Tian in his own world when collecting the money for the bill..LOL

Over, so we went to Kovan to have our dinner at the famous Ponggol Nasi Lemak Centre! (No thats not a typo, its really their name). It really did live up to its name of being one of the best nasi lemak store in Singapore, but that set me back by $4. YES $4 for a plate of nasi lemak.
After tcss, we proceed to heartland mall, which then I realised I have been here before! It was dark so I really couldnt remember because I always come in the afternoon.
Went into comics connection, and after some game discussion Alvin bought a deck of SNSD Poker Cards. They were really nice hahaha, but I didnt get one =\
Talked about how the chalet is going to be, and lalala Cyrus gave me a ride to his house, to save me the trouble to keep changing MRT, taking 3 instead. Thanks Cyrus, you're cool! =D

Tomorrow I have another outing, and ITLE is on Thursday. Argh I'm really gonna study like crazy after I get back home tomorrow, sian

66% discount on Japanese ice cream!

So I bought a mixed cone! I licked it abit before taking the picture haha...really liked the green tea flavour!

Avocados

2010-08-29T12:59:00.002+08:00

My dad made avocado smoothie today!

They are a health food;
About 75% of an avocado's calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat.
Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K.
Avocados have a high fiber content among fruits - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.
A fatty triol (fatty alcohol) with one double bond, avocadene (16-heptadecene-1,2,4-triol), is found in avocado.

However, I was quite shocked when I heard that avocado trees are poisonous to animals, and some animals die from eating the bark or leaves. Avocados are also toxic to certain species of birds!

Cooking with my brother

2010-08-28T13:30:00.002+08:00

We decided yesterday that we were going to cook our own lunch today! So we went for a trip to Loyang Point's Sheng Siong Supermarket and got ourselves the below ingredients:
1 white onion (YES WE BOUGHT ONE ONLY)
1 litre milk
1 can of button mushrooms
1 pack of speghetti
1 can of Prego Pasta sauce
.
.
.
And that set us back by $8.65. We had a tough time choosing the white onion as a lot were bruised and damaged..in the end we took a sexy-looking onion for 20 cents.

To celebrate our first ever without-our-mother-supermarket-shopping trip, we bought green apple red tea from the nearby bubble tea shop! Weird color, but nice to drink hahaha

Reaching home, My bro started doing his mushroom soup thingy while I helped cut the onion...not really fun to cut ah, the smell was overwhelming lol.

I went to estimate the portion of speghetti,then I turned around then I saw my brother drop an ENTIRE cube of ikan bilis stock into the pot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HAHAHA but it turned out to be quite okay later on...should have half a cube though.

I had no big pots for the speghetti, so I used a large pan.
As I waited for the water to boil, my brother was happily stirring the soup, adding onions and butter and the stock.
THEN I REALISED HE FORGOT THE MUSHROOMS FOR HIS MUSHROOM SOUP.
HAHAHAHAHA it was added almost at the end.

When the speghetti was done, I took out a frozen apple from the freezer I put before we went out.Cut it into slices and placed it with the speghetti to give it A CRUNCH.

Here is a picture of our masterpieces:
Please forgive my picture taking skills lol..and the random bread tag and rubber band

Yeh. Listen to this song by Olivia Ong, then listen to the other song by 张学友. Abit similar ah..

SO WHATS FOR LUNCH?

2010-08-24T12:44:00.005+08:00

I searched through the fridge and rummaged(cool english word) through the cupboards.. found only these ingredients that interested me:
1 egg (LEFT ONE ONLY)
udon noodles
mixed veges
chilli
soy sauce

1. I cooked the udon noodles in water until they were soft. Then I removed them from the water and set aside.

2. Beat the ONLY egg left with the mixed veges meanwhile.

3. After the noodles are done, I added oil, then garlic. Unfortunately my garlic went chaotah at the end of the cooking =\

4. Added the mixed vege and egg to cook.

5. halfway through, noodles are added, then soy sauce.

6. Fry them like a pro! I CAN TOSS THEM IN THE PAN. HEHE PRO

7. Toss until the soy sauce and the ingredients are mixed well enough...Then your done!

Heres some pictures:

8. I added chilli afterwards!

Overall I think i did a pretty good job frying instant udon noodles =D
But I do hate cleaning up.....

ahhhhhhhhhh

ANOTHER FORTNIGHT DINNER

2010-08-21T00:09:00.003+08:00

This time we went to Tampines Round Market for some fish-head steamboat! Ivan, Teng, Donny, Derrick, Oohjing, huiwen, joselyn, xh and loky was there with me..We ordered a fish-head steamboat (OBVIOUSLY) and some random crispy pork ball thingy, veges that taste very good and tofu!

Meanwhile we had a TCSS session, then afterwards they bought some durians and we went to loky's house nearby to eat them and to play cards...

Okay so during the dinner, Derrick proposed a Maths question, here goes:

A hotel charges $100 per night per person. 3 tourists stayed for a night, costing them $300 altogether. The hotel manager, after receiving the payment, heard from them that the waiter serving them was excellent, and hence decided to give him $50 of the $300 as a tip.

The waiter was shy and wanted to return the money back to the tourists instead. However, $50 was really hard to divide amongst the three tourists, hence he pocketed $20, and gave them back $10 each.

This meant that each of the tourist paid only $90 in the end,
and $90 x 3 = $270 in total.

However, as the waiter pocketed $20, there SHOULD be $300 - $20 = $280 left!

So what happened to the missing $10?

Journey to the Kitchen

2010-08-19T13:01:00.004+08:00

I fumbled abit while cooking them, they do turn brown really fast! in order to keep them moist, I had to MAN UP!
Okay so heres the end product, abit chaotah, and half-way through eating it

On a side note, I'm gonna talk about the ongoing Create2011 Competition, which my friends managed to get to top 10..

The voting system goes by facebook accounts, or if you do not have any, just your name and an email address. The problem is this, I heard that some teams surged by about 5000 votes overnight..IS THAT POSSIBLE?
There must be some teams taking advantage of the loopholes in the voting validation to spam votes. I hope that the administrators could do something about it.

Didnt read through all, but took the above few parts from the results produced..

Your Life Path Number is 9
Your Life Path Number represents the path you should take through life and the talents and skills you have to make your journey a rewarding one.

A 9 Life Path will lead you to look at all with love, compassion and tolerance. You will explore the connection that exists between all the things in our universe. You will learn to let go of your own desires to serve the better good of all of us. In whatever field you choose, your endeavors will help heal the wounds life inflicts on those around you. It is your mission to make our world a gentler, kinder place for all of us.

Your Life Destiny Number is 9
Your Destiny Number sheds light on those things you must accomplish in your life to be fulfilled.

Your destiny is to learn how to love all of mankind without condition. You do truly want "peace on earth and good will toward man;" and will work to make those conditions a reality. Whether through some art form or your touch, you are destined to heal those who come into contact with you. For you, life's horizon is limitless.

Your Soul Number is 3
Your Soul Number describes your deepest desires and dreams and the person you truly want to be.

You desire to make people happy, laugh, and be all they can be. You want to create, have fun, and remain ever enthusiastic. You are a lover of life, and will do all you can to ensure those around you are aware of just how grand a gift life is.

Your Personality Number is 6
Your Personality Number reveals the "external you"--the personality traits others will know you by.

6 Personalities are above all nurturing. They are great counselors and very faithful to their loved ones. 6s never take love lightly. Nothing short of marriage and a warm stable home will satisfy them. Their compassionate nature allows them to soothe the wounds of others. 6s make wonderful teachers since they see every event as a lesson to be learned. True happiness will come to a 6 Personality when they have entered a warm, trusting union to which they can contribute their powerful nurturing skills.

Your Maturity Number is 9
Your Maturity Number reveals the person you will come to be--your true self.

Persons with a 9 Maturity Number do not always have an easy path before them. They must learn to balance their love for humanity with their own needs. Throughout your life you will heal and enlighten those around you. In your later years you will have mastered your healing techniques and learned to apply your compassion for others effectively. You will be able to look upon your life and see that you have been a great benefit to most who have had the good fortune to know you.

Your Balance Number is 1
As long as your life is on an even or uplifting keel balance numbers are relatively dormant. However, in those times when your life is out of order your Balance Number can become central to resolving the turmoil you are experiencing. Your Balance Number reflects the traits you need to bring to the forefront in order the get through difficult periods with the least amount of damage or time wasted on negative influences.

A 1 Balance Number indicates you need to rely on your creativity and innate courage to help you through troubled times. While you may be a “go it alone” type person, during stressful periods it would be to your benefit to seek the counsel and aide of others. Do not shut yourself off from friends and family.

ICE CREAM

2010-08-17T20:44:00.002+08:00

My dad just bought a new blender, and started experimenting with it! On the instruction manual it says the blender could make ice cream OMFG? So me and my dad set out to try make ice cream!

Yesterday was our first attempt, failed rather badly, ended up with iced milky milo LOL.

Today was a bit better, it was creamy BUT I could still feel the ice, and it melts very fast..

There must be something we are missing!

2010-08-17T01:00:00.001+08:00

Slept at 9, woke up at such a retarded time of 1 am. Now I cant go back to sleep.

NIGHTMARE

2010-08-16T11:42:00.006+08:00

My head hurts right now. Im feeling restless; I know im supposed to do some revision, but I dont feel like it. I hate this feeling.

Maybe I'll type some random stuff down below!

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal;
Six wings about him;
And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind;
And the first beast was like a lion,
and the second beast like a calf,
and the third beast had a face as a man,
And the fourth beast was like a flying eagle;
And the four beasts had each of them;
And they were full of eyes within;

And they rest not day and night, saying;
And they rest not day and night, saying;
And they rest not day and night, saying;
And the first beast was like a lion,
and the second beast like a calf,
and the third beast had a face as a man;

Holy holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Okay im not a Christian, and for obvious reasons I dont study the Bible. But these verses came with Nightmare, and I think it somehow suits the mood of the music.

This feels much better...LOL i like spamming Nightmare when I feel restless.

Have you ever..

2010-08-15T09:46:00.002+08:00

had a lucid dream? Lucid dreams are dreams which you are subconsciously aware of, and sometimes, you can control the elements of the dream yourself! Yesterday night I had something more than a lucid dream; I had a dream in a dream! WOAH like Inception, I was aware I was dreaming of a very dark place with a lot of dogs and snakes. So the dogs attacked me and I "WOKE UP". I found myself in a shopping centre. Everything looked so real, but so fake at the same time.

I never experience this kind of phenomena before - it was an exciting experience though, hahaha. Sadly, I didnt get to manipulate the elements around me...
