Was browsing through the past seasons of the campus superstar.

Somehow or rather, I like Benjamin's version of 枫 as compared to Jay, the original singer.

Well, I decided to re-edit this post. School started officially, to be exact, a week ago. Like I said, I'm rather pleased with the modules this semester, BUT there's always a price to pay, and I've paid, a pretty heavy price. Just the SSA and Korean module alone, bankrupted both my Programme and General Account. Sigh. Anyway, just a summary of the modules that i'll be taking this semester. mainly:

NM2102 - Theories of Communications & New Media

NM2219 - Principles of Communication Management

LAK1201 - Korean Language Level 1

EL1101E - The Nature of Language (ENG MOD)

GEK1001 - Place, Environment, Society (GEO MOD)

SSA1201 - Singapore Society (SOCIO MOD)

Just one last thing about my studies, I've also declared my major in Communications & New Media, and perhaps a Second Major or minor in Chinese Language. Not the history and literature of Chinese, but the technical part of Chinese Language, like phonetics, syntax, etc etc. I'll end off with this song and short video clip I found on Youtube - Campus Superstar 2009. That little boy, Jarod, leaves me a really deep impression for the song - 新不了情

xin bu liao qing - wan fang

我在youtube不经意的找到了这个video clip，一向很欣赏有音乐天分的男人，总觉得懂得音乐的人更贴心、更稳重。不知为什么，在众多乐器当中，唯独对钢琴我有一种说不出的感动，说不去的悲伤。有一位横要好的朋友最近在博客中透露她对谈恋爱的渴望，我呢，和她一样，也想谈恋爱了，不过，是跟音乐谈恋爱。:)

我的快乐，会回来的，离开不是谁给了谁的选择。”

我的快乐，我相信，会回来的。

Well first and foremost, a happy and merry new year to all. 2008 had been a rather, uhmpt, boring and dull year for me, partly because I was on too long a break (from nov to july) and school wasn’t that fun after all. All that anticipation for school to reopen came to a halt when readings started to pile up like the Himalayas Mountain, imagine.

Well, I should have expected that since I’m in fass, and arts is generally about, or should I say, practically reading and being critical in making judgments and formulating arguments. Nevermind abt that.

Caught quite a few decent movies in-between, December, hmmm, twilight with my mum, to think we went to catch the latest session @ 9.30pm. Ha. Me and my mum, getting a little too wild for my dad to handle. Caught another movie before twilight, which was again, another impromptu decision made while meeting up with Yu Jia. We caught bedtime stories, so unlike of me, but yeah, I’m glad that the movie was nice enough for me to not regret watching.

Anyway, I had my birthday celebrations spread across 4 different days with different groups of people. The very first day, on the 25/12 Christmas itself, was with Marcel. Had lunch over @ Full House, a Korean restaurant, it was quite a disappointment but the food was, bearably edible. We then decided to head to orchard, walked from 2pm to like 9pm. It was crazy, but the fact that I could walk freely on the roads of orchard amused and entertained my moods quite a bit. Ha. Took photos again, after long persuasion and apparently, Marcel accused me of being difficult to catch me smile on photos. Well, I am not a cam-whore person, the moment I see a camera focusing on me, my face, involuntarily stiffed and turned solemn. Ha. That’s just me.

On the 26/12, I had a joined birthday celebration with Ying, my all long pal since primary school, together with her boyfriend, Michelle and Yann, They got us a mango cheesecake, nice, sweet, it was the kind of cake that I would go for. In fact, I go for all cakes, they’re irresistible, especially those from secret recipe and Emicakes.

33o6 gathering proceeded the very next day, over at WZ‘s house. Was supposed to meet up with Yu Jia early in the afternoon, but something personal cropped up at home which got me so disturbed and upset that invites suicidal thoughts, but I’m fine. I’m trying real hard to take things in my stride and easily, it’s hard though, for my domineering character. Having cooled down after an hour or so, under cold hard shower, I decided to meet yu jia still, and by right wan ding and Sylvia too, but like I said, yu jia and I made an impromptu decision to watch bedtime and so, we only got to meet the ding and syl after the movies, to go to wz’s house together for dinner. Received warmth birthday wishes from many of them, played monopoly, black jack, Texas and had 2 slices of pizza and bottles of beer for dinner. Satisfying for the latter, I was craving for alcohol over my throat that very day actually. Parents picked me late in the night, dreamless sleep settled in immediately under the effect of alcohol which was pretty nice, but a note that I would like to make here: I wasn’t drunk. Not with that few bottles of beer, I am not that weak. Well for the very least, I refused to admit so.

The actual birth-day arrived with not much enthusiasm; lazed around the house most of the time till yu jia came knocking at my doorstep, which caught me, very very surprised. I wasn’t expecting her, but the fact that she went through all the trouble to travel from the north to the east just to pass me the present made me speechless and touched, it’s unexplainable. I do many times; feel being forgotten and unappreciated, but she proved me otherwise. I am fortunate, to have to meet her along my life. She’s the best gift that AJ had presented to me, preceded by all fellow classmates of PDG33/o6. Ended the day with my family dining over the usual restaurant. I would like to take this chance, to thank every single person, who sent me their warmest wishes and those who made my day in a way or another.

On a side note, I guess that twilight movie really did have me lunatic; I got frenzy over the twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. How crazy I was, you may ask, well, I visited every single bookstore I have within my abilities, to try to get hold of all 4 books, namely Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. But disappointment was all I received despite my efforts; I only managed to get Twilight. While I understand many friends around me feel the movie incomparable to the book, I beg to differ. Having finished the book, which shares a slightly different storyline from the movie, I concluded to have enjoyed both the book and movie. Just one last sentence before I end, quoted from Twilight, I present to you my favourite:

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.”

P.S. Enjoy, my usual dosage of music, which never fails. :)
