Eks... -_- Honestly my internal clock is getting pretty messed up these days. Sleep like a log one day, then can't get no shut-eye the next. Thanks to that, I was blacking out every 10 seconds while walking to school this morning. It's a miracle I got by without walking into something or being knocked down. Oh, and -_-; thanks to be stuffed with too much good food back in Singapore, my appetite has gone heywire.
Got my term results back~ Not bad at all I guess~ since I worked quite hard.. ^_^ Looking forward to the new term~
Typhoon's blowing hard outside, and I'm wishing I had a hill of bluff to just lie down and gaze at the stars from... Or somewhere high like on a cliff overlooking the canyons beyond... Great weather~ ^________^

I do remember when I was first asked, "Why do you no longer trust?". I get that a lot.
First off, anyone's faith, ANYONE'S, is completely shattered once the person they've placed their whole trust in goes happily backstabbing them at the most dire moment of their lives. Of course that's no sorry excuse for holding everything against anyone else who wants to get close to you, but a heart once torn apart still bears the scars. For some, the scars can be ignored, for others the scar still pains. And you know what? After being repeatedly torn up by those you'd give your life for, you get tired. Well, first you get angry at the world and its inhabitants. Self-pity sets in later on as you run out of energy; you begin to hate yourself outta wondering what you did in the previous life to deserve all this. Then finally you get tried of being thrown about like some rag doll, and eventually, everyone else around you just becomes like another potential betrayer. Your view on others just grays down to a single spectrum, then you soon learn to get / move along without 'trusting' anyone any longer. It ain't as solemn as it sounds though. People can still become great friends, even have a place in your heart (just not all of it). And in the unfortunate event they should turn to backstab you, there is no grief or hatred, perhaps a little surprise, and an "oh well"-shrug like you expected it. To protect yourself from further harm, you just shut everyone off to never, ever give them a chance to hurt or heal you. Opening up again just isn't ain't worth it anymore, and you've had ENOUGH. The only one you'll trust is yourself.
Ah. Needed to get that out.

EDIT: Hmmm. Bad memory. Almost forgot to add in that I went for sushi this afternoon, and in this little lucky dip thing I received some boiled oyster thing. It's pretty expensive as far as I know, and Japanese use the pre-cooked oysters in miso soup etc. But, I hate oysters... in the end gave it to one of the ladies working at the dorm's administration...
What an odd day.
Stayed up till 9am this morning, got 45 minutes of shut-eye then went off to the post office to send a package and pay a bill. After that, handed Lina her stuff and hopped on over the the old dorm to give the sensei's some gifts from Singapore and wow, I found Bayu-chan there. He apparently just arrived back in Tokyo a couple of hours before. Hope I can drag him out one of these days for a meal or something. Oh yes, he has grown skinnier. Scary since I always thought him a bamboo pole before, and now... toothpick?

What Different Kind of Angel are you...? ( Anime-ish pics )
brought to you by Quizilla

Chicchieena...You are Hao-sama. You are the most even-tempered and good-natured homicidal maniac to grace the pages of manga in a long time. Those who mess with you rarely survive to tell the tale.
Which Shaman King Shaman are you? (with manga scans)
brought to you by Quizilla
His goal and mine are not that different. The more I find out about this guy, the more I get creeped out at how we're so similiar.
Short little survey.
What do you think happens after you die?
+ I will simply return in a new body to complete my mission.
Do you believe in heaven?
+ Sure.
Do you believe in hell?
+ Of course.
Do you think you will be judged after you die?
+ That awaits me when I'm done with my mission, not when I die.
How many people would attend your funeral?
+ Not many~
Would you rather that people cry or laugh at your funeral?
+ Laugh please. Laughter is good.
What's better? A shot in the head or downing pills?
+ A shot in the head of course. I hate feeling sick and puking my guts out.
What should be written on your tombstone?
+ "..." ? :D No seriously, I don't need a tombstone at all.
Would you rather die childless or divorced?
+ Childless.
Do you want to die in the morning, afternoon, or night?
+ o_O No preference there...
If you had a million dollars to leave, who would you leave it to?
+ Probably some wildlife foundation.
What kind of flowers do you want at your funeral?
+ Uh, any would do. They would just wither and rot anyway.
On your deathbed, which moment will you most remember?
+ None in particular. I would be reflecting on all I've learnt this time round.
Have you ever watched someone die?
+ ... yes. It's one thing to see just anyone die, it's another to see one you care for leave.
What's the most gruesome death you can imagine?
+ Being gutted alive and slowly.
How often do you think about death?
+ Hell, every day. :D I don't suppose that's healthy.
Is fear of dying your number one fear?
+ No.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
+ Of course. The cycle of souls.
Have you ever wished someone you loved were dead?
+ I do not see how that is possible with my idealogy on true 'love'.
Do you consider life short or long?
+ Both. : )
Do you think you have a soul?
+ Of course. All manner of creatures/ beings have souls no matter how humans insist they're the only ones with such.
Assisted suicide for a terminally ill person is:
+ Humane I guess. Everyone's going to die anyway so way carry on suffering.
If you were cremated, where would you like your ashes?
+ Seperated into 3 portions to be thrown into the winds, scattered into the ocean, and buried into the earth.
Would you choose to be immortal, if you could be?
+ Oh boy that's a tough one... being immortal would definitely speed up things for me (mission-wise), but taking the time to reincarnate and go through different lives is an experience so very valuable in observing, learning things from all sorts of perspectives...

Hmm... forgot to add this: At the airport yesterday morning (Singapore), I was checking my luggage in when the guards inspecting it asked, "Are you carrying any sharp objects or weapons?" Hell, if I were really carrying weapons of any kind, would I tell?! ¬__¬; That had to be the silliest question I'd been asked ever since returning to Singapore. Bet that woman was wondering why I paused before answering her.
T_T I love them oldies.
Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough By Patty Smyth & Don Henley
I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
just to have sombody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
and I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
and I don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just want to have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay
And there's a Danger in Loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
^_____^ *Hugs the Big Ballads compilation from Singapore* Oldiessss~ ^____^
My angst tastes like...
Black Licorice
Unique and difficult to place, your angst finds its source in something you keep hidden. You have something serious and possibly traumatic, but you try to hide it from everyone and just tell them to ignore you when you seem troubled, that everything's really OK. You might think that you have good reasons for not telling people, and some of them may in fact be true, but most likely a lifetime of keeping your secrets has led to a resolution fortified by rationalization that nobody else can shake simply because you never give them a chance. Ask yourself if it would really be that horrible to open up to others; nobody says you have to do it all at once, even. But you should at least try getting out of your shell a little. It's not healthy to internalize everything and conceal it. Anyway, if people really care for you, and they probably do, then they'll be loving and supportive regardless of any reason to the contrary.
Find your angst's flavor
Hmmmm.... now that's something to think about.

Wow. I stayed up for the most past of last night (just to make sure I'd sleep in the plane). Gave in to one hour of sleep, then head off to the airport with a very sleepy family after munching on home-made samosas.
It did feel sort of strange to be leaving Singapore all over again. The first time I left my heart just froze over as some defensive mechanism or something, but this time I'm all warmed up and fuzzy inside. >_< Mommmmmieeee~ *Glues herself to mom* To hell with Singapore though it feels more relaxing than Tokyo, I just want to kidnap Mom over to muh dorm~ Homesick? No. Mom-sick~ T_T
Hehe. On with it.
Sis was there at the airport like the deary she is~ Family and her sat down for chit-chat over 30 minutes before I left for the departure hall. :| Still miss me mommaaaay. Ahem.
This time the plane's air-conditioning system was a lot better than that other one I got on a month back. I kept nodding off to sleep from even before the plane started moving, didn't even notice we had taken off until I stole a peek at the trees getting smaller and smaller. Hell I didn't even feel any pressure build-up in the ears. Just slept all the way till breakfast was served. Oh, and I got me a cocktail just to keep me asleep later...
Englishman beside me smiled as the steward mixed my drink, commenting, "Isn't it a little early for cocktails?" Note: It was about 9:00am then. XD Told him I was trying to knock myself out over rotting in the seat for the next 5 hours. We talked a little; he was trying to place my race (Chinese-Malay is what he guessed) of all things. I tried to lose myself to slumber after the omelette breakfast, but just couldn't get into a comfortable position.
Eventually gave up and watched some odd movie (Galaxyquest or something), then went to sleep once more. From yesterday, 2 powerful typhoons had formed beside Taiwan and the Philipines. I was left wondering if we could actually fly above them. Lots of turbulence along the way, but I slept like a log. Then halfway through I woke for some reason, looked out through the window on my right and saw one of the powerful typhoons some distance away, swirling up clouds from a distance towards it slow but surely. ¦0~~~ It was so beautiful... Then of course, there was that other typhoon to the left of us. Map: 2 red areas = them 2 typhoons. ^-^ I felt honoured to fly between such magnificent phenomenons... ^-^ Who's gracing me with their presence? ^-^ 3 hours on and I could still see it. Couldn't sleep during the whole time, but I wasn't bored. No surrrrrieee~
Ah, and approaching Chiba, Japan, I saw this lone, huge Cumulonimbus cloud stretched maybe 6 kilometers up, raining down on the open ocean. :) It shone me a rainbow for 5 seconds. Thank ya thank ya~ ^-^ That made my day along with the typhoons. ^-^
And um. Slept the rest of the way. Opened my eyes once or twice to see Chiba, and the next thing I know, the landing impact wakes me up. :o The bus trip back to Shinjuku took about 90 minutes, during which I fell to sleep once more. Got back at around 6:30pm. Gah. Technicians had to enter my room to check some stuff while I was gone. -_-; Not that I've got anything to hide, but I ain't around, and they could at least wait till I got back or something.
Well, back to life in Tokyo...

o_O Whoa. What a dream.
I had stepped into a realm inhabited by beings of higher density by accident. Gods or angels of some sort. By lying lots and pretending I was one of the most powerful figures around, I was able to avoid being caught while looking for a way back to my world. Somehow I ran into some hotel-like structure after people starting suspecting my identity. Some were willing to help me avoid the wraithful others. In the end, I was trapped in a room on the 16th floor, with no way out except the balcony. Those willing to help were pleading me to fly off, quickly. I said I couldn't fly, yet they insisted I could; just that I had to know I could, not just believe or hope that I would. I had stopped and spent and awful lot of time to finally convince myself I could do it (amidst thoughts on how everyone around was nuts, and how I'd die after going 'SPLAT' on the ground...), and by then the room had been broken into by an angry mob. I panicked, suggested a 'pigeon' as something to turn into for convinence's sake to my nearest ally. I remember him giving me a weird look and saying something about being taken down by hawks in the area. Oh fine, I turned into a hawk, hopped onto the balcony railing, then jumped off just before the mob could reach. Glided down down down, and reached ground level safely. But I had to take off. And as with all my other dreams of flying, taking off proved to be difficult. Though this time, with a mob tailing me, I got airborne a lot faster. Gained enough height riding on the winds, then soared on out to a more familiar place...
I love flying. ^_^
I hate people who can't keep the time. -_-
Met up with a couple of secondary school friends in the evening. They've not changed much, and I felt pretty comfortable even though we've not seen one another for 5 over years. ^_^ Desmond still has a freakishly huge appetite.

Woke with a slight headache, but went along to see AVP again, but this time with Sis. Thank ya dear~ for fixing the computer~ T__T
Lil Sis received a stray kitten from a friend (who saved it from a bus). It's cute, everyone in the family loves it, except that prick called Dad. He's not happy with it, saying it's all dirty, blah blah. He just arrived in Singapore 2 hours after we got the kitten. For those 2 hours everyone was happy and melting, but from then on everything just went downhill. The fate of it has yet to be decided. *beep* that old man.
:) The lil kitten seems to like me lots. Keeps settling on my lap to sleep or use as a perch-point. Maybe 'cos it's warm there (Sycia = burning fiery person). ^______^ *Melts*
At the very least I hope he doesn't kill the poor thing while we're asleep..................

Alright... as promised, went to see Alien VS Predator with Chrono. :D Sycia lurves Aliens. Aliens. Aliens.

I've been eating twice as much and getting hungry way faster, not to mention I feel like I'm burning inside. :D And I've developed this urge to just leap / pounce onto random passer-bys 10 meters away...
Went for a Japanese buffet thing right after the movie because I suddenly got famished, then a walk around to digest some, then head for thick chocolate ice-cream~ ^_^ <-- *oink*

And Mom asked me a strange question last night. Basically she wondered if she was treating me too much like a kid even though I turn 22 this year. That's true, but I've got no qualms...

I take a look at one of my 2 Godmothers and just sigh. A staunch Christian, but a very selfish individual. She goes about telling me 'not to help everynoe' because some just don't deserve it. What the hell is this sort of attitude for a person who believes in 'God' and the Bible so much? Bloody hypocrite. People like her make me sick.

Visited an old neighbour, Aunt Helen, then went cargo-pants hunting with Mom at Little India~ We landed up at Mustafa's temporary building (the actual one was under heavy renovation). Hmmm deja vu. I once had a dream of being gunned down in a mall with round ventilation areas on each storey, green glass panels along it, and the clothes section in the basement. That temporary mustafa building looked exactly like it. Hmmm. I wouldn't have recalled that dream on any other occasion (had that dream years ago), but that was weird. I was half expecting some crazy terrorist to start shooting around randomly any moment. Hmm. And yet I went around it wondering if death would claim me~
Went out with family to Newton hawker center for nice mutton steak, grilled stingray and soup. But some smart-ass vendors tried tricking us. Bad, bad choice of customers (refers to Dad here). Okay, Dad ordered a large plate of fried noodles (mee goreng), and the stall's sign says a large plate of that's $5 in specific, no mistake abuot it 'cause we were sitting right in front of the stall the whole time. But the vendor came up charging us $10 for it. My dad demanded to know why the hell the vendor was charging us twice the written amount on the board. Vendor says it's because the given plate given was BIG. Just who is he trying to kid? That specific hawker center is a place frequented by tourists and locals, so they want to trick their way to more money? Good day to you, because good 'o dad brought the issue to the ministry. This time, I have to agree with my old man. That vendor is obviously out to cheat people of their money. He was trying to return the change to Dad, but dammit it isn't the cash, but the prniciple. -_- *looks fondly at metal pole aka support pillar nearby...* Woooo~

Sassin came over to fix my Lil Sis's blasted computer. After much difficultyshe managed to get rid of Windows ME and reinstall the far more stable Windows 98. But problems were far from over. Nevermind.
We left that as that to meet Joyce. Borders & Kinnokuniya were stopovers before Mos Burger. Had to test my Wolf's Rain DVDs. One of them doesn't seem to play properly on computer DVD drives so Sis volunteered to test it over her Moms'.
Continued: Computer problems: Drivers (that were supposed to be included with the CD) were missing for almost everything and anything, so a reinstallation fixed 80% of that, so I got the internet connection up and managed to checked my email for the first time ever since I arrived in Singapore. That over, I was trying to fix that dumb 16 colors (not 16 bit colors, mind you) and 640x480 as resolution when the monitor supports 800x600... Then suddenly the monitor refused to work any longer. Wonderful. Just wonderful... *looks at CTE once more*

Mmmmkay Happy Birthplace Singapore or what not. We were supposed to go visit the Istana this afternoon, but Godmother (who initially invited us to it) cancelled on us in the morning, saying it was too hot out there (o_O????????), then someone else called to say it wasn't open in the first place. Mmmkay... misinformed people... o_O
Visited Dad's Dad (bedridden Grandpa) in an Uncle's new apartment. He (uncle) lives on the 19th floor, with a view of a huge vast area of undeveloped land (aka forest-like landscape) and a river/ inlet, with the ocean over on the left and Malaysia further over~ ^_^ I love the view and za windz up over in that apartment. Grandpa remembers my name, surprisingly... I did spend the first four years of my life staying with him before my family moved out to its own apartment, so him remembering me over Lil Bro and Lil Sis is natural.
Note to Mom: ^_^ We gotta keep that neato lamp as a family heirloom. It brings back such memories...
So Mom said she wanted to grab some $1 pillows advertised in the papers this morning, at the West end of the island (Jurong). Since I was free anyway, decided to keep her company (and from getting lost since she doesn't know her way around the MRTs because Dad took the car). Alighted at the station, and checked the cut-out advertisement only to realize Mom read it wrong; the $1 pillow deal was for tomorrow. Sycia's inner expression then --> ·_·; Seeing we could do nothing else but 'shop' around while waiting for Dad to pick us up on the way back from Johor, Malaysia. Sat around, ate junk, got a call from Dad saying there was a jam over at the 2nd Causeway (Tuas link) so we took buses back instead of waiting for Dad to get through. Got home at 8:45pm to watch Singapore Idol. Mom's all critical about the judges trying to imitate Simon Cowell or something, but I was only interested in seeing the 1st round contestents.

Mom was going to prepare steamboat again (the last time we were going to have it Dad ran off for some sudden product launch in Indonesia, so we had it without him). Mom, Lil Sis and I had some wanton dumplings for lunch, but they were stale and the other two females of my family got bad diarrhoea while I stayed fine. o_O Stomach of iron perhaps.

Gah. Still extremely tired. Even after so much sleep. Mental overstrain yesterday. -_-;
Okay, it was either a day out with Chrono or that over-talkative Godmother of mine.
Having not wanted to be dragged around shopping (*shivers*) by an over-talkative scatter-brained aunt, I opted for the former.
I like my Godmother, but... >_<; No. No shopping with her.
Thai food for dinner, but good 'o Dad had to get impatient with everyone and anyone just because he had to fix a cracked toothed earlier and couldn't eat everything he wanted. Bloody hell. It felt like he was PMSing. And thanks to him, a perfectly good meal and wonderful evening was ruined; such unreasonable behavior makes any food bitter, any evening shitty. Thank you Dad. Thank you. I'm going there with Mom the next time he leaves Singapore... I did manage a few bites to know the food's great before it got all yucky.

Continued an old Dungeons & Dragons game with Chrono. The anime DVD store was open, thankfully, so Joyce and I could get our stuff in the evening (Wolf's Rain~!!) though I still need to test them on Joyce's laptop (makaseta na~ m_ _m a. hiragana sae irenai kara, chotto ganmanshite). We stayed at Fish & Co for 2 hours stuffing ourselves silly. ^_^ But having mentally and emotionally strained myself, no amount of food could really satisfy~
Forgiveness is a virtue. I always believed that. I probably don't look like the kind that would forgive easily, but I can. I can be burning furious 1 second, forgive whoever, then be happy and laxed the next without a grudge whatsoever. The first time that ever happened, I was surprised at myself; I'm the sort that holds grudges forever, you see. But no one is perfect. People are bound to make mistakes or do stupid things. As long as they realize what they've done, and are truly sorry, I can put it all behind. I have not been tested with the most extreme deeds to forgive (mostly because those people weren't sorry about it all ¬_¬), and there seems to be a fine line there, marking what can be forgiven, and what cannot, but hey, over on my side, I never knew I could find it in myself to forgive gracefully until faced witht he actual situations...
... or maybe I'm just too nice?

Carrot cake was lunch~ ^-^ Drove down to Joyce's place (Mom had some errands to run around that place so I got a lift), tested my newly purchased DVDs on her laptop (warii na~). We did go to Anime House to find it closed. Bloody irregular opening hours. -_- Didn't have much of a choice but to head down again the following day to get the DVDs~ Also agreed to have dinner at Fish & Co for dinner. Fried calamari, HERE I COME~ Oh, had crispy roti prata at night~

Had some fish porridge for breakfast, excellent yong tau fu at Chinatown for lunch. o_O Many Japanese inside craft shops... Mom was with a friend and they were trying to keep from shopping (AKA a good way to send a Sycia up a wall). Did get something for my dorm Senseis though. :)
-_-; Virii I can handle one or 2 persistent ones, but not 65+ together with reappearing adware. -_- *Looks at Lil Sis's computer, then at the busy road just next to the house...*

Hehe, met up with Sassin and head down to the Esplanade, made funny faces along the way, and took pictures of a funny sign which I thought meant "No dancing of decapitated bodies" at first. :D Caught I, Robot after wolfing down Subway sandwiches~ I had wished the movie would be more amusing, but I found the Robot guy cute~ Charming personality. But anyway, Sis and I left the cinema wondering where to go next and...
Sycia: *Looking around* Where are we?
Sassin: Hmmm wait, let me configure myself.
Sycia: o__O
And a few minutes later, it was my turn... XD
Sycia: *Stomach makes weird loud noises*
Sassin: o_O What was that?
Sycia: ? Oh, my stomach's processing lunch.
Sassin: O__o
Hehe, I wonder what'll we say coming outta a pirate show... or a scottish film. :D
Later lazed about in Little India, tried out the 7-eleven mash potato ¦O~~ and went back for dinner~

Mmmkay, I'm over the bout of vertigo...
Head out for some Japanese buffet we saw advertized all over television of late... got seriously disappointed with the quality of spread there. Yuck. Uh well... I suppose that's what you get after living off authentic Japanese cuisine.
Walked around after a blah~ lunch, got a new pair of sandals (though same make of the ones I'm using currently), sent Lil Bro and Lil Sis off for tuition and accompanied Mom around grocery shopping during which she nearly crushed some little kid with her car. Damn parents shouldn't let their kids run around in car parking areas just like that. Had some nice driver passing by our front had not given us a warning horn, Mom wouldn've killed that stupid thing with the boot of the car. -_- Bloody stupid fags-of-parents. Their damn kid should get killed one day to get the message embedded in them for good.
Dropped by the anime DVD shop for a bit and got Last Exile and Nightwalker, only to find my Dad had packed away the only DVD-player in the house. >_<; Going to look for it... sometime.
Can't get into Hotmail for some reason. Am I the only one experiencing this?
