kangjie — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:00:11 +0000

Righttt, I have to apologise for abandoning this place buttt gosh Tumblr is a very bad addiction. (All thanks to Audrey and her scrolling -.-) But yeah, this place shall remain empty for a while because I’m too happy doing my Bleach 30 Day Challenge on Tumblr. (Finally, I can heck the audience and fangirl in the right context ) HAHAHA.

#246 The slack life

kangjie — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:29:58 +0000

Strangely, exams ended (yes, the supposedly life-changing exams -.-) and I still felt no motivation to update. Okay, actually I did but I got distracted halfway. This is mainly because I got out of the Bleach fandom (kinda, but not really) and went right into the Detective Conan fandom (omg somebody shoot me). So for the past few days I’ve been sitting at home, watching one Detective Conan episode after another, one Detective Conan movie after the other. Ahhhh, it’s starting to revive my craze from Sec4. This. Is. So. Bad. I mean, I’m wasting my life away right in front of the computer screen and yet I feel perfectly content about it. Haha, something in me must have majorly short-circuited. But really, Detective Conan is epic It’s like kiddy + mystery + SciFi + romance. HAHAHA epic combination if you ask me! And I have to say that it has one of the most tragic love stories ever. But the pairing is totally canon and cute! Argh. Okay, maybe it’s not tragic yet because the manga have not ended and anyway it seems like the type to have a happy ending Oh but still. It is addictive gah. (Shall not think about it anymore). But yeah this explains the lack of updates because I’ve been catching up on nearly a whole year of anime addictions. Screw the overdose

I’m in the midst of a self declared semi-holiday ) HAHA. But really this past month felt like a milder form of house arrest :/ It’s boring as hell. And I’ve been surviving on fanfiction (as usual) which is totally healthy. Not. And studying has turned into a Flip-Your-Notes-And-Stare-At-It session. How productive. Not. And I spend my free time sieving through my music library on my Ipod. I think I’ve reached the epitome of Sad Existence. Argh. Makes me feel like throwing things out of the window. Damn. This sucks.

And now I’m addicted to 2PM’s I’m Your Man. No thanks to Audrey. Gah. Shoot me somebody! Anybody!

And even this post sounds so pathetic. Argh whatever. Hopefully the next time I post, life would have gotten more interesting

#244 Perfection

kangjie — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:52:07 +0000

“There is nothing in this world that is truly “perfect”. Though it may be a rather large cliché, it is still the truth. It is the ordinary people who look up to “perfection” as an ideal and seek after it. But in truth, what is this idea of “perfection” truly worth? Nothing. Not a single thing. I detest “perfection”. To be “perfect” is to be unable to improve any further. There would be no scope for “creation”, not a single gap in one’s knowledge or one’s ability. Do you see now? To true scientists like you and I, “Perfection” is tantamount to “despair”. We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, NEVER, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, the second you allowed yourself to spout a ridiculous word like “perfect”, in truth, you had already been defeated. That is if you wish to be treated as a scientist.”

- Kurotsuchi Mayuri;Bleach;Chapter 306

This left me speechless. Not just the words but also the person who said it. It seems like everyone has their 15 seconds of fame eh? And really, Bleach is one of my greatest sources of inspiration

#243 Thoughts

kangjie — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:22:52 +0000

Wow, I think it has been more than a month since I last updated! I guess the month of doom got to me haha. Plus, its quite difficult to sound hopeful when things are looking so bleak. Ah, I guess we just have to deal with whatever that comes. This period has really been very trying for not just me but everyone I guess and there are really a lot of problems which needs to be dealt with and sometimes life just makes a person so soul-weary, or to put it simply, sian. Hahaha it’s amazing how Singlish can encapsulate an entire range of emotions in one word But really, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking these days (I mean what else is there to do?) and I have to say that thinking about the future is not a very pleasant thing no matter how necessary it is. Half the time you feel hopeful but then most of the time you just feel plain worried. Sheesh. And then there’s the upcoming month of doom to be dealt with, which is really a horror in itself. Hahaha gosh this is just plain depressing

I’ve been wanting to do a post to round-up JC life but I don’t think now is a very suitable time. There are just too much to say so I guess I’ll postpone it for a while. Hmmm this is probably the last time (or maybe not) I’ll be posting before gloom and doom day so all the best to everyone!

#242 黑与白

相反的我
-張芸京

我看着镜子后面皱着眉头的我
很孤单它有话想说
想天空不会永远都是蓝色的
有阴天你才会抬头

走穿多少的巷弄
少了哭了
有三四个人爱我

我想要一个乱了数字的时钟
我想做一个完全相反的我
我在这个世界拼命些什么
累死我

我有双不听任何命令的耳朵
却享受快乐加上自由的我
我要变成一个透明的石头
我不会动
也不会痛

想问她用了太久累积了所有
原谅我想消失自重
每个人都在的喧闹的轨道奔走
讲真的我想要互通

请看爱情的脸孔
每个愁的季节温热都被弄乱

我想要一个乱了数字的时钟
我想做一个完全相反的我
我在这个世界拼命些什么
累死我

我有双不听任何命令的耳朵
却享受快乐加上自由的我
我要变成一个透明的石头
我不会动
也不会痛

#241 I WILL SURVIVE!

kangjie — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 02:04:26 +0000

I realised that the last post made me sound ~~slightly~~ demented -.- It was as though I was having some internal monologue with the voice in my head. Gosh, I’m a goner.

Plus, I think exam stress has resulted in strange behaviours. Such as writing this 3.5 hours before my oh-so-exciting Chemistry paper. (That was sarcastic btw) Generally there’s nothing I can do to get rid of this feeling that subtly hints at doom and gloom. Yes, even ~~reading~~ flipping through those notes over and over again doesn’t help. And somehow I think this is attributed to my absolute lack of preparedness for the upcoming history papers. I don’t even think I’ve studied enough to erm get me through my essays. Great.

Maybe I should just stop all this pessimism eh. For all you know everything will be rainbows and unicorns the moment I step into school (Yeah righttt) Yay self-delusion is the way to go!

I realised I’m rambling… Shit.

Anyways, here’s good luck to everyone out there having whatever oh-so-shitty exams that the education system throws in our faces There, just bear it with a grin. HAHA

#240 To mug or not to mug, that is the question (wait, is there even a choice?)

kangjie — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 06:56:35 +0000

Wow, I’m alive. Surprise surprise! Honestly, I’ve no idea how long it’s been since I’ve last posted something here. Then again life is so dull it can be summed up in one word – MUG. Realise that it is not even “study” because “study” implies a certain degree of inquisitiveness and enthusiam which is definitely lacking in whatever dreary, mundane task that I’m required to be engaged in. Notice the word “required”, it implies that I should mug, but that I am actually mugging Ahhh, subtle differences.

You might be wondering why am I updating when I have nothing much to write about. Good question, because I don’t know either. And I think this is very disturbing because as I’m typing this, I’m also having a conversation with myself in my head. If you don’t call that looney, I don’t want to know your definition of it. And here I am, rambling on and on about nothing in particular. I’m good at that eh? Maybe not, because I’m running out of things to blabber about. Blahblahblahblahblah.

Oh! Disturbingly interesting development! The story goes like this …
Last Monday
Weather: Bright and sunny (actually, I don’t remember so whatever)
Yes, it is the start of our very very bried “holiday” and I smartly (or not so smartly, depending on the perspective) decided that it is the opportune moment to catch up on my mangas. I’ve heard that Ichigo got back his powers hmmmm. Then with great inquisitiveness and enthusiasm befitting that of the act of “studying”, I turned on my computer. And all hell broke lose. (Okay, it’s an exaggeration but oh well) I caught up with 1.5 or more months of Bleach and promptly got re-addicted to it all over again. I can’t believe myself sometimes -.- But really, it was so nice to see all my favourite characters again It’s like meeting old friends. Damn, I really missed them. (Okay, when you consider manga characters your “friends” then there must be something majorly wrong with your social life. It’s not healthy, let me repeat, not healthy at all) And so I became happily addicted to Strawberry and friends all over again, on the eve of my Prelims. (Well done, well done! I think I need to get myself checked for suicidal tendencies, hmmm maybe I require psychiatric help) And I spent the first half of my holidays recapping the manga (Yes, from the very first arc) watching the anime and reading fanfiction. This is bad. I need help, seriously. (Or at least someone who can confiscate my ipod and hold me at gunpoint so that I’ll ~~study~~ mug instead) Ha, this is the definition of hopeless.

But really, I hate ~~studying~~ mugging. It’s the most moronic, meaningless and mundane thing ever. Ever. (Wow, alliteration!) I hate being forced to do things, especially things I don’t like and this is at the very top of my list as of now. I don’t care if I sound like an immature child but whatever. Life sucks. Right now.

Okay, that was longer than what I expected

#239 Harry Potter and the Book of Quotes

kangjie — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 13:01:02 +0000

Was just looking through epic Harry Potter moments the other day and decided that we all need a little bit of humor in our boring lives

On Ron being made Prefect
Mrs Weasley: You’re a prefect? Oh Ronnie! That’s everyone in the family!
George Weasley: What are Fred and I? Next door neighbours?

On the Ordinary Wizarding Levels and its grading system
Hermione: So top grade’s O for ‘Outstanding, and then there’s A-
George Weasley: No, E, E for ‘Exceeds Expectations.’ And I’ve always thought Fred and I should’ve got E in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams

On Potterwatch, the illegal wireless radio programme during the trio’s hunt for the hallows
Fred Weasley: For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That’s a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that’s glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it’s safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that’s still likely to be the last thing you ever do.

On trouble the trio always get up to
Harry: I don’t go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me.

On Divination and Dreams
Ron: Well, I had one that I was playing Quidditch the other night, what do you think that means?”
Harry: Probably that you’re going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something.

On Malfoy being made a prefect
Hermione: Harry, don’t go picking a row with Malfoy, don’t forget, he’s a prefect now, he could make life difficult for you…
Harry (sarcastically): Wow, I wonder what it’d be like to have a difficult life?

On Harry’s aunt and uncle being proud of him
Harry: Proud? Are you crazy? All those times I could’ve died, and I didn’t manage it? They’ll be furious…

On the Death Eaters recruiting Harry because he’s half-blood
Harry (sarcastically): And they’d [the Death Eaters] love to have me. We’d be best pals if they didn’t keep trying to do me in

On Non-Verbal Spells with Snape
Snape: Do you remember me telling you we’re practicing non-verbal spells Potter?
Harry (stiffly): Yes
Snape: Yes sir
Harry: There’s no need to call me ‘sir’, Professor

On Divination and planet movements
Harry: I’ve got two Neptunes here, that can’t be right, can it?
Ron (imitating Professor Trelawney’s mysical whisper): Aaaah, when two Neptunes appear in the sky, it is a sure sign that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry…

On Percy
Ron: Yeah, well, Percy wouldn’t want to work for anyone with a sense of humor, would he?

On trying to differentiate a ghost from an Inferi
Ron: When we come face-to-face with one down a dark alley, we’re going to be having a shufti to see if it’s solid, aren’t we, we’re not going to be asking, ‘Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?

On Divination and Crystal Ball gazing
Ron: I don’t need help. It’s obvious what this means. There’s going to be loads of fog tonight.

On Hogwarts: A History
Hermione: Aren’t you two ever going to read Hogwarts: A History?
Ron: What’s the point? You know it all by heart, we can just ask you.

Hahaha thats all for the day I don’t know if anyone even gets what I just put here but whatever, reading these makes me happy And of course, copyrights to J.K.Rowling, creator of my childhood

#238 Of silly antics and hilarious moments

kangjie — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 05:22:43 +0000

I am totally absolutely supremely wonderfully full. Ah, the delight of supermarket sushi! It’s hilarious how my attempts to keep my eating habits in check always fail due to some reason or other. Okay, maybe it’s just the one reason that I find food irresistable. HAHAHA. Oh wells.

Epic moment of the week!
-During the School Quality Survey-
Ish (randomly): I’m totally going to miss Kathleen Wong Sock Kuan!
-Class bursts into laughter-
-Teacher overseeing the survey at the desk tells class that she is Kathleen Wong Sock Kuan-
-Class dies of laugher-
The End

I think I’m really going to miss all these random hilarious moments when the year ends I’ve never been in a class more dynamic than this in all my years of schooling, with random arguments between teachers and students, really witty suans and so much retarded fun and laughter. How many classes have people who burst into National Day songs in the middle of a GP discussion? And how many classes have people who steal discarded agarose gel and micropipette tips from Bio Labs and use one to stab the other during random lessons? And I’m proud to say we have a full sofa set and erm even class transportation devices. Hahaha, school has never been more epic seriously! Somehow whenever I think about my classmates, the phrase “Same same but different” comes to mind and the camaraderie between everyone is very heartwarming, despite us all being very different individuals. Ahhh, I would say that I’m extremely proud of my classmates, each and every one of you guys

Hahaha this post is so random But i’ts something that I’ve wanted to say for a while haha. Awesome people eh!
