long post shall be long...?

yes, I'm finally getting around to posting since I'm feeling emo enough lol

(it just so happens that doctor chim already posted one oO)

so what's been up?

my exams have ended; they were a total hell. I was close to breaking down after the second paper, so yes it was that bad. I remember vividly about how depressed I was feeling; it was as if everything was going to be hopeless. my grades this semester are going to be bad as I know it, and the following consequence to that is an overall GPA that shall prevent me from getting my desired second-upper. I'm only left with two years, and I fully know that there's no way in hell I'm going to make it. so I'm probably going to face a rough start in the working society. I'm going to be disappointed when I get my degree, and my family too - which inwardly adds on to my stress.

so now its the holidays

and I've been out almost everyday since it started~ the beach with my uni gals - oh gosh it was SO SO fun! I remember going crazy over seeing and just walking on the white sand with my bare feet at siloso beach. gosh I felt soooo free! I really want to go back there again and experience that sense of freedom once more.

next up was a friend's 21st birthday party. though I've only known her since the start of this semester, the project group we were in - I guess you could say it was a blessing all of us turned out to be good friends X33 I don't regret these days.. I loved the group I was in x)

then...oh right, mom's day belated celebration with crabs. oh that was a good lunch I had with my family, it was full of cranky, stupid jokes and loads of laughter. I love my family xD we're such joke-sters lol ;))

next day was a full day with Daphne. badminton, spontaneous Gantz movie. oh it was just great. I've never spent a whole day with her like this before, gosh it was so eventful on so many levels. apparently we found out that GV's become really strict on age-checking. you -must- have your IC with you. I didn't, but they let it go for once after they saw my uni matric card.

YEAH. GANTZ WAS JUST FUCKING GOOD. HOLY SHIT I WAS BLOWN AWAY. SO MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. and obviously the plot is slow-moving, but the second you feel that the events in the movie are repetitive, the next it just sweeps you off your feet because it really isn't all that repetitive. personally, I give it 6 out of 5 stars. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE TO BE RELEASED LOCALLY. TOTALLY -WILL- BE BUYING THE HD RELEASE OF THE COMBINED TWO MOVIES ;))!

and then was HY's bday celebration, and FINALLY my hair trim. I think you all know about how torn I was between sticking to the hair stylist who gave me the short hair, or going for a cheaper cut. but ever since a friend of mine said "make self happy", I firmly decided on sticking to Jaymz. Yeah..it was expensive, but it was also a really relaxing and ultimately enjoyable visit at his new salon. I'm not sure if I'll go back to him for the next trim - I think that depends on if I can afford it~

then there was my church's bazaar. yeah, I know none of you turned up lol. the only one who did was one of my guy friends. but really, I wasn't expecting anyone of you to visit either >_>'' the few memorable things about this carnival was how the customers at our booth always smiled back at me when I greeted them fervently. it was really heartwarming, and probably one of the few driving forces that made me stand throughout the hours I was there. gosh waking up at 8am and helping out till 4pm isn't a joke.. I didn't walk around the carnival because I really couldn't bear to leave our booth to my parents only. I don't really know, but I guess you say I was quite emotionally attached to the stall. I just can't bear to leave the stall without knowing it would be in good hands -_- that's not to say my parents are bad at it - they're really good at it. but I think they seriously might've been overwhelmed. and my sis - she was just dead log. zzz. she's good at thinking but not good with customers. she's bad at it, period. not her thing. -_-' I was hoping when she arrived she could take over me, but nooooo, she went around the stalls and had her share of fun ._. ah well.

and I've also been catching up on anime~!

like, FINALLY. so I covered the rest of my halted Kuroshitsuji II whose anime-original ending totally made me go RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! so I had to go pick up from where I halted the original (still ongoing) manga to wipe off the HORRID aftertaste of the anime who's storyline is completely different from the original manga. I watched the second anime season purely out of interest lol, and because kuroshitsuji is kewl. and I totally love the manga~~~ I still have Faster Than A Kiss that I have yet to resume since the exams started -_- arghhh, must always have good determined mood to do these things =X

other animes I've covered include Steins;Gate, Shinrei Tantei Yakumo, Level E (totally loved that one). man only three series...it seemed more than that but I guess its because they're so many episodes each xD I STILL HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO WATCH!!! CAN'T WAIT. xD

onto something else entirely..

Ben has been MIA-ing. I have no idea if its on purpose, but I can gather that this is the limit of the friendship we hav...had. I need to vent this out lol. because seriously, we all know, it takes two hands to clap. if I'm the only one making an effort to catch up, then this speaks volumes about how "important" I am to him. as someone who tried her best keeping him sane and a bit more cheerful, he considered me as someone precious in that friendly sense. but now that we've moved on with our lives, we're getting busier with our studies and friends - but there was nothing stopping me from talking to him time to time. but he hasn't been doing that in the past few months. this situation feels like a parallel to what I experienced with Joel, only that Ben and I were close in that emotional sense and Joel wasn't really. I keep wondering if Ben is MIA-ing on me purposefully because (like Joel) he's actually really not all that interested in maintaining a friendship with me, or he's honestly "just. too. busy.". I don't know what to think, its bugging me a little, but not as much as other things. it doesn't mean we were emotionally "close" makes it assume-able that I understand how important he views me as. no, it doesn't work that way - there is *effort* required, and if he's not putting it in, I don't want to waste my time.

c'mon, even James is putting aside time to chat with me once in a while. this just speaks volumes..

and about Justin,

sigh I guess I still like him. I can easily relate to any story or situation if it deals with a girl fervently trying to catch the attention of a quiet guy. and I get sad because the girl eventually gets him, but I didn't. then I just started to realize that this saddness I feel is almost identical to when I still had feelings for Ben. sigh, this is the second time I'm feeling like this. just heartbreaking, really. the second guy to break my heart, in a way.

もし

in the next 2-3 years, if I still haven't met anyone else better...I'll settle for you.

but if during that time you've found someone else - I'll let it go.
