Right. Wrote an entry, but the computer decided to crash for a bit. -_- Too blahed to rewrite.
... with the amount of acting done now, wee I can qualify as a professional actress.

... I knew I had something to say, but I forgot. -_-; Must be this headache. Then again, I do have a selective memory.
Yesterday, one of the Senseis asked the class how many hours each of us put in for study. I answered 3. The class flipped. The rest answered 1 hour a day on average, Told them I did 6 hours on each day of the weekend. I guess that`s supposed to be hard-working or something, but it is bad when you don`t seem to get ANYWHERE when you are studying with all the energy you can gather. -___-
Tea Ceremony tomorrow. My legs are going to be numb from sitting that way.
According to my Lil Sis, my family moved yesterday. Wonder how they are coping.
One other thing. America seems to have managed to make a decent villain out of Pegasus of Yuugi-oh (or Yu-gi-oh?) That`s the first good thing I`ve heard coming out of an English dubbed anime. People should go hear the original Pegasus in Japanese... >___<; No one would take him seriously with such a ghey voice.
Just realized I got added here. Nice layout. Even nicer wolf.

Yesterday. 2 good things:
Was getting my new set of books (textbook & workbook) early in the morning. The old man at the cash register apparently forgot to key in the price of the workbook even after I showed him 2 books. Got an accidental 1,500 yen discount that I didn`t take notice of until I got back to the classroom. That, amoung the other mini-discounts I`ve been getting on the food I get from the canteen when those people keep calculating the total price wrong...
Weee, finally got the CD from Yumi-san. It`s a shame she didn`t manage to get the full version of the Matantei LOKI Ragnarok OP & ED, or the original versions of the Meitantei Conan current OP & ED. But it`s all good. Currently enjoying the ending song to LAST EXILE: Over the Sky.
Joyce & I went around Shinjuku looking for reasonably priced Yukatas right after school (nearly went bonkers because of stress). Yeah, found ours after a not-so-long time. Got a red one that kinda resembles one of Kinomoto Sakura`s (CardCaptor Sakura). Joyce got a blue one. Wonder how loud my Dad would scream if I wore that, a traditional Japanese costume, to Chinese New Year. The clogs took a longer while (as expected because my feet are bigger than most female`s, and the traditional footwear is ridiculously narrow even for normal females.) Not saying the price for fear of my Mom reading and flipping out.
Rant on homo sapiens coming up so LEAVE if you love humans. I am not in the bloody mood to entertain anyone human, about what I say HERE. If you do want to read, then SHUT UP about it.
--------------------------------------------
For those who don`t already know, the #1 thing that downright pisses me off is any senseless unreasonable harm done to any animal excluding humans. Killing for food, self-defence, the sake of preserving one`s physical health and other situations where there are no other options, not included.
Animal:
A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure. - From Dictionary.com
In other words, mammals, vertebrates, invertebrates, fish, insects, etc, no matter how small it is, as long as it is non-human or non-plant and alive, it`s considered an animal in my book. On with the rant.
Last night. I was playing with a little insect. A fruit fly I think, but there wasn`t any food around. Had been studying my ass off and just looking at the fruit fly just dissolved all the stress that had built up inside. A few minutes later I was playing with it. Nudging it a little here and there, chasing it about with my pinkie. Rather cute. It wasn`t really bothering anyone, just scurrying around on the table harmlessly. It stopped a while, next to another person, and I just observed it fondly. Then that person... picked up a large eraser and dropped it over the fruit fly. At the point in time I was torn between flying into a berserking rage at that human, and crying out for the innocent lifeform about to be thoughtlessly crushed. Thank goodness the fly scurried off fast enough. Otherwise I might have been turned into a serial killer overnight (over a span of seconds more like it). Though on a slightly brighter note, it was a huge test of my acting skills; was able to pull through with a straight face.
There`s a little insect, that isn`t bothering you. It`s just THERE. It ain`t even on any part of you. It isn`t the kind that`ll bite. And you suddenly notice it, and want to kill it just because it is irritating, or its very existence irritates you. How human. How humane? Humans say they have feelings. Yeah, my foot. The act act shares the same principle as me killing a kid for just walking past me. Merciless murderous intent.
Oh yes, but humans dismiss this is pure nonsense when it comes to animals. The smaller the animal is, the less of notice or life it deserves, and the less of guilt you get from killing it, is what humans think. They fail to acknowledge that other living organisms possess personality, lifeform, characters. Humans think themselves so high that they deceive themselves with the notion that Mother Nature only gave THEM a conscious, thinking, feeling mind and individual personalities. Hence, they assume themselves on a much higher level than animals, and feel it is OK to crush and kill animals if they feel like it. It is OK to dismiss their existence as unimportant and unworthy. Oh gee wow. If that is so, Mother Nature made a HUGE mistake. To give only 1 species such an advanced mind to defile the very place they were borne of.

Best said in The Matrix, by Agent Smith:
---------------------------------
I'd like to share a revelation
that I've had during my time here.
It came to me when I tried to
classify your species. I've
realized that you are not actually
mammals.
Every mammal on this planet
instinctively develops a natural
equilibrium with the surrounding
environment. But you humans do
not. You move to an area and you
multiply and multiply until every
natural resource is consumed and
the only way you can survive is to
spread to another area.
There is another organism on this
planet that follows the same
pattern. Do you know what it is?
A virus.
Human beings are a disease, a
cancer of this planet. You are a
plague.
---------------------------------
Yet humans, so full of themselves as they are, simply shun this fact aside as pure irrelevant blasphemy.

Got to wear a Yukata yet again on Saturday. Going to attend a tea ceremony in 5 days, and a kabuki on the 3rd.
Don`t know why I felt so stressed out yesterday studying. Perhaps I was having a panic attack of some kind. Of course, my studies went 3 times as fast and effective, but my head hurt twice as much in the evening.
Lately the amount of people I`ve seen in a difficult position because of what their "parents want them to do" has increased. Yumi-san being one example. I was nearly subjected to it by my father who wanted me to study business management. Now, I follow the wise words Kyoji-niisama gave me: Yes, they raised you from a baby, and we should be grateful. But we have not come into this world to live how they want us to. It`s your life. Do what you want with it. If you just take and do whatever others tell you without realizing what you yourself want, the only life you`re living is for someone else who couldn`t do it before. That is the one big fault with most parents. They keep wanting their kids to fulfill what they couldn`t. It`s a very very selfish way of thinking in principle, but most of the adult world seems to see it as a good moral. Feh.
Common examples of the above not-so-heated-rant:
* Forcing a kid to take up piano lessons, ballet, etc even if he / she doesn`t want to.
* Forcing a teenager to take over the family business once he / she graduates.
* Forcing him / her to study more than his / her rate of learning just to compete with other parents (or just for the sake of showing off).
* Objecting to his / her choice in a mate (this one I find ridiculous).
And the list goes on. It`s a common thing in Asian society. Especially with filial peity being held in such high regard. I don`t know about elsewhere. It`s disgusting. So much for freedom huh?

Stolen from Solitary:
1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
Exterminate humans like the pathetic lifeforms they are.
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
Depends on who asks. Usually I only give them what they want to hear because people are only willing to listen to what they want. They don`t respond as well as they say they will if honest opinions are given.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
Yeah, but I shouldn`t tell here...
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
In a classic fantasy world with magic, monsters etc. Where there are no limits to what one can do. Where I can wander freely with what I can do as my best, and be accepted for it.
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
Fire-breathing? Kidding. Complete control over one of the basic elements. Or the ability to shapeshift into whatever, whoever I imagine.

Memory... malfunctioning. Took me a while to remember it`s Wednesday and not Monday. Too tired. Can`t find enough time to sleep. For the past 3 days, I keep finding things to do at night in place of snooze (namely studies).
American Beauty was aired on TV last night. They didn`t do any censoring (it started from 9pm). Better still, almost every scene with 2 people of the opposite gender led up to a sex scene. Yay. Hurray. Yahoo. It`s apparent what most adults` train of thought results in from there.
People in the dorm are hating the landlady more and more. Main reason being she seems to like entering our rooms when we ain`t around. I frankly don`t care at this point in time. She can come into my room, but if she, or anyone else, does it when I`m in it (without knocking on the door), I swear I will rip that person`s throat out.
Z: It`s fun to tour Japan, but living here isn`t that great. oo Trust me on that.
Can`t seem much to write other than my observations nowadays. Nothing much more than dots in my head now. Resignation. Until I meet some interesting personas, or somehow find a way to entertain myself on a regular basis, silent observation will prevail.

Lil Sis: When you see this, tell Mom to CALL me tonight at about SG: 10:30pm (11:30pm Tokyo time). Urgent.
-___-; I`m already getting summer blues. It isn`t that hot yet, but it is dead humid. 95% - 100%. Haven`t been able to sleep for the past 2 nights, using a round fan to ventilate some fresh air into my room. So tempted to get a small electric fan now, but not at all wanting to use the air-conditioner.
Friday night and I finally got back to the dorm. The landlady had to be an idiot and pick that time to break some news about my toiler`s pipe still being stuck even though she got professionals to try fixing it during the time I was in camp. How nice. She got people to come into my toilet, through my room without giving me any notice, while I was away. Next time I`ll remember to go Home Alone and lay a few nice traps for that woman. LADY. I just got back from a 3-day camp. I`m tired, dirty, sleepy, sick of all humanity and it`s Friday the 13th for God`s sake. Couldn`t you have picked a better time to break some unimportant stuff I don`t really care about? My level of understand had been diminished several times over while she babbled on about some pipe terms, leaving me no choice but to just nod my head and "mmm" dumbly for 30 minutes. -__- Her absolutely wonderful sense of timing caused me to go into another ranting fit (poor Joyce had to listen to it... thanks). Saturday morning I unclogged the pipe somewhat with the landlady. Mein gott. The smell.
Sunday was the usual. Studying from 1pm - 7pm. Then 8pm - 10.30pm. Talking more to the Senpais in the first class. Again they complimented my spoken Japanese. I guess I`ll just speak more to them. It just feels weird using Japanese to communicate with Joyce or Lina-san.
The sensei in charge of my class has taken a week off. Goodness. We`re all worried. She seemed fine after that neck operation for a while, but now this...
Brighter note: I`ve qualified for the Hokkaidou homestay programme (although I`ve known that for quite a while). But I need that extra cash Mom has yet to send me to pay for the plane-trip blah blah (the money gathered from my relatives before I left Singapore). Big thanks to Sis for calling Mom on my behalf just now. ^^
Chrono called me at 1:25am last night. Thought the phone ringing was part of my dream at first. Tumbled out of bed finally (though I was still wide awake) after 2 minutes. Wonder how he`s going to solve that problem...
Cute conversation I had with Joyce last night while we looked through an anime magazine:
Joyce: Hayashibara Megumi. Credits - Meitantei Conan, Slayers, Evangelion...
Sycia: She was in Evangelion?!
Joyce: ...
Sycia: She was?!
Joyce: NO NO. She wasn`t!
Sycia: *Thinks hard* ... She was...?
Joyce: *Starts laughing*
Sycia: *Spends the next 1 minute thinking...*
Joyce: *Spends the next 1 minute laughing...*
Sycia: OH!!!!!! I REMEMBER!!!!
Joyce: Finally....
Sycia: Well I`m sorry! She hardly said anything in there!
Joyce: Yeah, but still, how could you forget?!
Sycia: ^_^; Yeah. Pen-pen right?
Joyce: *Flips over* ?!
Sycia: :D Hayashibara Megumi did Pen-pen in Evangelion right!
Joyce: o_____o; Well, uh... yeah... but...
Sycia: Well, and Ayanami Rei, but I remembered Pen-pen first.
Joyce: -__- ........

Just got back from the camp. A little sleepy.
Day 1:
Got up at about 6 in the morning to take a bath. Hair came out squeaky clean after a rinse with soap. Went to school with Joyce and Lina-san as usual, but it turned out that I was carrying one of the smallest bags around (a small Colors of Benetton haversack). I didn`t have any reason to object, so Yumi-san sat beside me as usual (Joyce & Lina-san were in different buses). 3-hour ride to the school`s camping lodge in Nagano. I was falling asleep for the first part of the ride when there was nothing to see but city-scape, but the rest of it included beautiful mountains with rolling forests. The bus was playing "GHOST" halfway through the trip. Annoying because it was turned up so loud. We arrived at around 3:30pm and got settled in the rooms. My room had 6 people assigned to it. Took the double-deckered bed. Weeee high. But damn it was too hot. We were in the middle of a mountain range yet it felt as hot as Singapore. Anyway, the lodge included the main building, a golf-course, tennis and basketball court, a large man-made but still beautiful lake, and 3 hiking trails through the vast forest surrounding the area. After the orientation, Joyce came to the rescue (otherwise Yumi-san would have followed me around NOOOOO) and we went hiking for a bit before a very early dinner at the canteen. I honestly didn`t think the food was so bad (for some reason everyone said it wasn`t good at all). After dinner, our classes competed against one another (games). Mine got second place. My class bunked into my room playing games after that. The Koreans sure drink a lot. Heard they stayed up till 6am drinking. Hmmm. And the teachers were claiming alcohol wasn`t allowed in the lodge. o__O
Day 2:
Didn`t really want to wake up. Breakfast was nice. Too filling even. Went out into the lake with Joyce on a small paddleboat, drifting about in the middle of it enjoying the breeze and watching eagles fish. Then joined the Cambodian guy in singing for a bit (but where on earth did he get that acoustic guitar from?! He couldn`t have brought his...) The cook-out lunch was... uh... edible. We had be separated into groups of 6 to cook our own lunch out in the open. Kept my opinions to myself while we were doing it; those people in my group don`t seem to have any common sense on how to make food taste good. How the hell do you expect mixed vegetables to be the slightest bit tasty when you don`t take someone`s advice about adding salt? -___- Yumi-san`s constant questions about where to put what (e.g salt, sauce, salad when the damn plates are right THERE to be used ARGH) made my temperature go up some 3 degrees Celsius. Stoned about for a bit after that before trying out the row-boat in the lake with Joyce again (I swear, it was so hard trying not to jump in the cool water...) I think I fared fine with the rowboat. Joyce tried it for a bit, but gave up when she succumbed to laughter (I don`t know why she did) when we weren`t exactly moving anywhere (more like pivoting hehe). Sat on swings after that, stoning or watching people catch really tiny fish hmm. Went back to the lodge building and got to wear a yellow Yukata (I was trying to get the male`s version but the teachers wouldn`t allow for it. Oh well). Mein gott I wonder how the heck females can walk long in it. Run, in case of any emergency, for that matter. Dinner. There was a huge campfire gathering for everyone at 7pm. It was fun (the only real fun part of the whole camp). The teachers were wearing their own Yukatas, the earlier students (including me) given Happis to wear. Lots of games and traditional dances around the fire (a big ouch for me when I saw the amount of wood they used...) with the students and teachers finally seeing each other on a somewhat equal level (only for that night, but what the heck). :D I`m one of the 4 champions of Scissors - Paper - Stone. Went back to wash me hair in the sink (^o^ Hardly anyone believed I was using soap) but it turned out okay. The class gathered in my room again to play Uno. A BIG thanks to Joyce (who was in my room at the time talking to me cos she was waiting for time to pass before bathing), because she stayed to help explain the rules about it in Mandarin to the China and Taiwan people (who explained it to the others). Yay Uno! Me like. Talked to Yumi-san after that about her family. Never knew she worried about so many things. Oh well. Classmate (China, female) came in and talked to the my roommates till 12:30pm (more like ranting off) so I couldn`t sleep as much as I wanted. But all`s fine. But the normality of everyone around was biting into what little there`s left of sanity in me even up till NOW.
Day 3:
Cleaned up the room for another batch of students who`d be arriving right after we`d leave. Breakfast. Stone off. Class games. Yumi-san is a complete klutz when it comes to the simplest of sports. She was chasing someone (in a game of tag), slipped fell and slid across the floor. Oookay. Now I can see why she hates sports? We left the lodge at 11:30am. Long bus trip again. The school gave us all bentos (from 7-Eleven). Everyone in my bus was complaining about the unusual high temperature of the damned air-conditioner (it was cooler OUTSIDE, and it is summer now guh). But no one bothered to ask the teacher to turn the temperature down. The hell is wrong with people? I was the one to tell the Sensei about the air-conditioner and only then did people start agreeing openly to give teachers the hint. -.-;
Came straight to the computer lab after I got back. Going to take a COOL bath when I get back. -__- I don`t feel that dirty yet (last bath I had was on Wednesday morning), but heck I ain`t going to cook today.
Lil Sis: Ya like the gift I got you?
One more thing. When people see nice natural sceneries, they usually think "nice", "beautiful" or what not. I cried on the bus, seeing parts of mountains being carved out, forests being swept off their land. I want to protect the natural world from ...HUMANS... THEY MUST DIE.

To whoever`s emailing me, I won`t reply to the emails till next week cos I am far too busy. Camp`s on tomorrow so I`ve got to pack and what not. Bleah. Will be back on Monday.
I practically went nuts yesterday when the mosquito that`s been in my room feeding off me finally crossed the line. Buzz in my face will ya?! Joyce was too amused by my crazed stance, and for some reason the mosquito got out of my sight until my sha-qi subsided half an hour later. Then of course, I went nuts again trying to murder the persistent blood-sucking bitch. Well waddaya know. It fled out a small opening at the window`s insect mesh when I thought I had it cornered (... mosquito was in my room for a week...) ... well that`s a clear indication that I`m stressed out bad and need to kill something.
Joyce says I need to cut myself some slack. Which I want to agree with by my annoyance at myself for not being able to speak as fast and fluent as native Japanese just doesn`t allow for that. Must study more... must practice more... hahaahahha.a.
Warming up to my new environment? Kinda. I was irritated to no end by some schoolmate (female) whining and sobbing about her hair being cut too short when it looks the same as it did before the weekend. Feh. The guys were poking fun at her, and as with normal males, didn`t know when to stop and ended up making her mad (and wailing some more). What is the big deal about having your hair cut a bit too short? It`s not as if it won`t grow anymore. Gimme a shaver and I`ll GIVE her a reason to wail.
what warning label are you?
Such a cute test.

What a weekend. Saturday, that Japanese Cultural Exchange programme had us brought to the NHK studio for a sort of field trip. One of the Exchange volunteers (Morita-san) offered me a car lift to the meeting place. Hmmm. Suspicion. The NHK trip was kinda fun. Got to see the main lead of Musashi being interviewed. Got a gift for Lil Sis too. They brought the whole group of us down to the Meiji Shaguu (biggest shrine in Japan is what they told me about it). Mein gott it was a long walk into the place before the actual building came into view. But it was nice. Lotsa trees and a good lot of birds. ^^ Picked up one of those fortune thingies, but oo; it`s written in the Japanese literature manner so I`m currently stumped over what it means.
We were brought to a nice restaurant amidst the hussle and bussle of Harajuku. Morita-san refused to let any of us pay. I hate having people pay for me... makes me feel indebt. But the others said it was okay, "Morita-san is a working man, so don`t mind it." o__O Well fine... that was pretty nice salad I had there... Spoke Japanese plenty too. Overall fulfilling day.
Sunday morning: Woke up, cleaned the room, started to make lunch when Morita-san called. He asked me if I wanted to borrow any of his son`s collection of One Piece comics. o___O I got weirded out. I know I told him the day before that I like anime and manga, but he needn`t go that far in being nice. *Sycia`s skin crawls...* I told him I had the whole collection (lie). Thanks anyway Morita-san... But my guard is now raised.
Mom called soon after. I had answered with a "moshi moshi", thinking it was Morita-san again. Nonetheless I was so happy to hear her voice. ^^ It`s good to hear that we`re moving back to our old haunting grounds, but the rent is so cheap that I have to wonder what kinda catch there is. The rest of Sunday? Studying I guess. Got the inspiration to draw humans at night till 2am, so I`m on the eldge of the waking world now.
Dreading the camp more and more. I have the feeling I am going to be spending plenty of time alone in the woods...

Just hungry, really. Didn`t have much of anything before Joyce and I set off for Akihabara at 11 in the morning. Going to head for a 500yen tempura lunch set (but it`s evening now... ><)...
Still can`t find those 100yen speakers. Doesn`t look as if they`d sell em anymore. Got Sis some Gensoumaden Saiyuuki merchandise. Couldn`t find anything from Rurouni Kenshin at all. Then again it`s such an old anime. On the bright side I finally got the Gamers Heaven manga. ^^ The artist has a knack for exaggerated expressions. I love it! ^o^ Recommended for peoplw who want to indulge in absolute madness. Muahaha
Yes, the world should get cops to pose as innocent girls ready for the picking (or raping if you will) on the internet to flush those net-rapists out. I approve of it fully.
Studying in the lobby has it`s advantages. I get to practice speaking Japanese with the random people who pass by, and get free snacks too. o__O The Senpais in the top class (class 1) were being tutored by me the other day cos they didn`t know what お前エ and 貴様 meant. How odd. More compliments on my spoken Japanese, and them saying I should b in Class 1. The compliments are beginning to sound fake to me. What the hell.
At the internet cafe now. Weeeheee fast computers with big screens.
Thank you...
Yumi-san keeps asking me if I`m a guy or girl. I told her "Geee... that`s a good question..." yesterday and she flipped. Just because I want to start the campfire and prefer hiking to the damn gym doesn`t mean I am male. Then again, she is normal. ........ homocidal intent rising fast........

.... even simple table lamps here cos 2000 over yen. I finally got a lamp, lest my eyes be permanently damaged from the bad inital lighting in the room. Be using it (the table lamp) more in the future so I`ll be saving on electricity.
I wasn`t in much of a mood to study last night. Talked to Bayu-chan a while. It was the first decent chat he ever managed (that I know of anyway). He agrees with 2 others (Lina-san and Adian-san) that I look like a Native American (for god sake`s... stop calling them "red indians"....) and also said his first impression of me was "introvert", the 2nd being "mysterious". Maybe I should just stick an eagle feather in my hair one of these days.
Damned international camp next week. I am going without a bath for the whole thing cos they don`t have showers (only the common hotsprings for males and females respectively). No thank you.
Don`t know what`s going on at home. You, update more. Family called on Monday night. ^^ Was so happy to hear Mom`s voice again. Dad didn`t chase her off the phone this time (I wonder why... maybe he read my blog). Got to talk to Lil Bro a little too. After which Chrono called, effectively scaring the living daylights outta me for a while because the phone rang particularly loud.
Yum. I like eggs.
Naruto`s on later. Weeeheee.
.... I do not believe this.... Singapore Restroom Association?! Singapore Loo?! I never really considered my home country tightly controlled. But I prefer that to this... culture where offending people is as easy as waving your hand. And I mean it. In Singapore, all the rules are all apparent for you to understand and abide (or break if you like), that`s the culture ( people can`t seem to get stuff in their heads unless they are being threatened by money). But here, the rules of the culture are never told until it`s late. You have to watch who and what you say and do to.

I swear, this Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles thing (Shounen Magazine) just gets weirder and weirder by the chapter. More characters from CLAMP`s comics (uh, several) just popping up everywhere. From a furry-earred Chi, to a Princess Tomoyo. You can read the summaries of the first 2 chapters over here. Looks interesting; the awkward rivalry between the characters. But I found something even better to read. Gamerz Heaven (Blade Comics). Don`t ask about the strange name. The comic has the best exaggerated expressions I have ever seen. Looking at it alone makes me laugh like a mental hospital escapee.
Going down to Akihabara on Friday again. This time to get a pencil board and hopefully something for Sassin or Lil Sis, don`t think Chrono would want anything from there..... Time to look for Gamerz Heaven too. Can`t seem to find the comic anywhere.
The Taiwan Senpai saw me studying in the dorm lobby on Friday evening and spoke to me (conversation carried out in Japanese).
Taiwan Senpai: You`re still studying?! But it`s going to be the weekend.
Sycia: Uh... yeah... I`ve got nothing else to do.
Taiwan Senpai: If you study too much, you`ll get sick.
Sycia: o__O But I AM sick.
Taiwan Senpai: Then shouldn`t you go rest?
Sycia: Nah, I`ll be fine. Thanks anyways.
Taiwan Senpai: Which class are you in by the way? Class 3?
Sycia: Hmm? 4 (1 is the class of the highest standard).
Taiwan Senpai: ...? But your spoken Japanese is so good.
Sycia: o___O No it isn`t.
Taiwan Senpai: Yes it is. People in Class 4 don`t usually speak so fluently.
Sycia: Uh.... okaaay... but it isn`t good either way... Gotta study more.
Taiwan Senpai: *Sweatdrops* Good luck then.
Currently, no news from home. Not even an email duh. Here I am wonder what the hell is going on with my family. Hey Mei. I sent an email to you (to Mom) on Friday but where`s the reply? Otherwise just update a little and tell me if you`re busy or something because I am worried sick.
You are..
Not a Chicken!
You're not a chicken at all, in fact - you're downright fearless.. which is scary... or at least, you try to make out that you're fearless... good luck - you'll be dead from tackling a mafia mob single-handedly by the time you're 20. If you're already 20... fate must be on your side ;)
Do you cluck or do you roar?
Cute picture...
Meteor showers and raging fires... wwooooo....
