Okay time to put everything into a more concrete list that I can edit everytime I watch a new series. So... the various Japanese dramas that I have finished or am currently watching. If anyone has interesting ones to recommend please do so~

( Count so far: 81 Series )

I really really need a bike *___* Walked like twice as long today to Al.Plaza (supermarket+department stall?) to get my groceries cos I couldn't find 1. how to cross the tunnel 2. how to cross the river 3. how to cross the railway. Had to ask two people for help and somehow managed to confirm that I had to walk all the way to the next station to cross the railway tracks mehs. I forget that this isn't Singapore where railway tracks are elevated and river crossings are rare because rivers are rare. Gah need a phone so I can googlemap my way around ;__;

Anyway! Bought a few things but still not enough to cook a proper meal. I forgot to buy garlic ;___; if not I could cook noodles tonight. I even bought the chinese huang mien X: AND OMG I NEED A KNIFE i knew I should have brought a knife from home grrr but I guess bringing 47kg worth of stuff over from Singapore was quite a lot already >< Mehmehs.

The weather is really dry here! Have to spam moisturizer and lip balm for fear of cracking my lips or skin D: And the sun sets early. Like how it's 6 and it's dark already. My room is quite cozy! :D Even has a bathtub :D But i gripe about the lack of storage space roaar and omg one cabinet for clothes with no trays wuuut. *dies* It's like just stacking lots and lots of clothes.

Okay going to head back to work!

みんなさんこんばんは～　Okay basicially now I'm at the Kanku Lounge in the Kansai International Airport where I'll be sleeping today (hopefully) cos my bus to the hostel only leaves tomorrow at 7am ;__; Am really sleepy cos I only slept one hour the night before (okay I did manage to catch some shut-eye on the plane but it was sporadic and interrupted so I have mega tired eyes now /:) The internet cafe is rather cozy :D with a reclining chair for me to crash on and a large screen and internet and free drinks and magazines to look at. So far have been using very little japan and more english cos it's still the airport but I have a feeling that once I leave I'll need to force myself to use japan to communicate >_<

BUT am VERY VERY EXCITED OMG 5? 6? MONTHS IN JAPAN WHEEEEEEE this is like striking one thing off my bucket list ♥ Can't wait til parents and dar come to visit hee. But will buck up before that and start studying. Having such a long break after my last semester has made me one lazy neko. Meowmehs.

Will update with photos when I actually can use internet on my own laptop. まったね～

Come on xin, STUDY. MIDTERMS ARE APPROACHING. ROAR. Now is such a bad time to fall back to my old reading habits. Meh.

Bangkok Trip blogpost! A wonderful 4 days and nights with 7 other people, though there were some slightly iffy moments. I guess that it's really true that you learn how someone's really like when you go overseas with them.

Dear CHUA WEI XIN,

You have been offered a place at Kyoto University for the student exchange programme during NUS AY2011/2012 Semester 1.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I admit I got the email yesterday, but was panicking like crazy because I discovered that Fall Semester for Kyoto ended in late March, which is like more than halfway through Year 3 Sem 2, so I was wondering how on earth am I supposed to attend NUS lessons, but I have discovered that KUINEP (which I think stands for Kyoto University International English Program or something of that sort cos somehow the non-abbreviated form could not be found under the FAQ question 'What is KUINEP') ends in mid Feb, so it's not that bad, but I'll definitely be missing at least some lessons if I choose to take it. And I'm not even sure if NUS will allow that :/ So, still panicking but slightly less now.

But on the other hand, IT'S JAPAN!!! Not Tokyo, sure, BUT STILL JAPAN. One out of the two of my lifelong dreams, to study in Japan. *__________* I'm actually quite surprised I got it since my CAP is lower than average (I kid you not I am actually in trouble) and there was only one place for Kyoto, but I guess everyone wants to go Tokyo and no one wants to go anywhere else, but omg this means I'll be the only one there from NUS .___. Okay that's a bit of a scary thought. And I think I should stop ranting. Still have a paper tomorrow morning which I have not started studying~

Either way, I still have until 7 December to decide, which seems like a long time from now, but I have a feeling will pass like a flash. Hmmmm.

I hate being sick for so long. First a fever, then a migraine, then earache, then my blocked nose that can't seem to unblock itself since I was born. It's affecting my quality and quantity of sleep, my study cycle, and finals are so soon. I am so far behind on EC2104 and EC3303 it's not even funny.

Just watched the social network yesterday. It was an interesting movie, though it made me wonder how many people who watched it actually knew that it probably was an exaggerated distortion. I mean, even the director said that it was more story-telling than accurate. Would people even care?

I really want to join a dance competition again.

[Edit]: And I realise that my lj account is more than 6 years old! O: Reminds me of how old I'm getting. To semi-celebrate its birth, which was one month and one week ago, or you can just see it as an excuse, new F.O. banner~ No more weird half-dried hair. \o/ /edit.

Feeling a slight migraine coming, and have been sniffling the entire day since my 10am lecture, and just had a sip out of the newly opened ice-cold Heineken (best of what 7-eleven had to offer that was 330ml and not 500ml). Ahhhhhh. Now I understand why the people I see in Japanese dramas love to drink beer after work. Or was it just Hotaru no Hikaru hmmm.

Fighting to finish black pac readings before I sleep, which -will- be before midnight as I endeavour to go to the bank at 830am, rush to tuition at 9, and then rush to school for lessons at 12.

And say hello to new blackberry bold 9700 in white! It be very pretty *__*

[Edit]Forgot to mentioned that I went for ClimbNUS today! \o/ It was a very fun experience, for beginners to try out bouldering/rock-climbing. I failed much at it, and this resulted in arms which really had no strength left in them. Hell, I can't even carry a laptop in one hand I hand to do it with two ;_;
