My Dear by L'Arc-en-Ciel



Ponyo! Oh my goodness, Ponyo is super KAWAII! I watched the movie on thefirst day of the year. With my parents. Yeah. How old am I to still watch movies with my parents? There were loads of kids in the cinema. Making lots of noise. Babbling to their parents. Complaining that they need to go to the toilet. I have nothing against the kids. Kids will be kids. I'm actually pissed by their parents. To begin with, the movie is in JAPANESE. Unless the tot happens to know Japanese, I have no idea how they will understand what is being said. Indeed, the Japanese used is not too difficult, but some portions cannot exactly be understood based on viewing alone. So... I suppose they expect their little darlings to learn Japanese on the spot. I mean, their children can't read the subtitles. How else will they understand what is going on? Oh. I know! They'll spend the whole movie explaining to their kid. And disturbing me next to them.

Just started my Japanese lessons. Mine is a really large class, with about twenty-five students. Its a beginner class. Hougang. One minute away from Heartland Mall. My teacher is Singaporean, which, at the beginner level is preferred. After all, you do need someone to explain the basics to you. Translate. Create learning links. That sort of thing. Alright so far. This evening will be the second lesson, but I already have homework to complete.

I will not be applying for overseas university this year. Reason is simple. Too many things going on all at once. Also, its not like I will not be able to apply next year. A transfer is quite normal overseas. Of course, its best if I can get in the first time round, but... The glamour is lost. I still want to pursue higher education overseas as I feel that the quality of education is better. Holistically of course.

I have ventured into the Korean music industry. TVXQ in particular. Mirotic, especially. I know, I know, parts of it looks like washing machine powder advertisement. Still. While I will not say their singing is fantastic, its pretty reasonable. That, and the fact that they are extremely easy on the eyes. Plus, they can dance! The washing machine powder advertisement dance it is, but overall is okay. Haha. This, does not mean that I have abandoned the Japanese music industry. In fact, I'm curently playing Malice Mizer's Le Ciel. I have listened to the CD so many times that I think I'll scratch the CD, while my phone constantly runs out of battery. Testimony of my love of Le Ciel.

I'm afraid my posters will start to yellow. Must constantly maintain the status of my shrine...
