1st day

Seeing that hotspot shield has helped me to jump over the great firewall of china, I can access to facebook and of course blogger.
So of course the 1st day is not worth talking, because nothing really happened yet.
Basically I spent 5 hours on a plane, which has no other form of entertainment. When you have to take out your laptop on a plane to write a story, you know something is very wrong.
Haiz I dislike the plane, because it's too small and squeezy, and there's no tv for me to watch. So basically I turned on my laptop to write about my room 4 (refer to chinese blog) and hence managed to stall 3 hours by using power saver mode. The other 1 hour was spent on dinner, and the remaining 1 hour was spent on stoning / sleeping / waiting to go to the toilet. You get how boring it was on the plane.
After that reached nanjing airport and my relatives come to fetch me and mom. Stayed in my older cousin's house tonight. And for free internet access. Actually my grandparents (parents of mom), my aunts (2 sisters of mom) and their family lived in the same district, so it's very easy to go from one place to another.
Shall enjoy my time here. see you later.

going back

I'm going back to china from 27 Nov to 27 Dec, so to gc, fx, mq and edward, I won't be able to dota with you all for a month. And since ai is fail, this probably mean that my dota skills would remain as noob for a month. No improvement is bad.
Secondly, I won't be able to stalk gc's blog for a month. zomg.
Anyways, with hotspot shield I might be able to have wider internet access. AKA facebook, wikipedia, blogger and youtube. And then I can carry on msn chats as usual.
So for that one month in China, it would be spent on games, anime, writing my rooms, hopefully talking on msn, and going around for tour. This year I've decided not to attend school so yeah..quite free.
Would enjoy myself in China, despite the major censorship and erhem other stuff like pirated beyblades (hehe keith).
Will be back in a month.
See you then. To all those who visit my blog. Sex bots included.(oh no that means no sex bot wipe for a month?! they would infest this place..)

erps

Putting on a different face in front of different people is easy, but continuously switch from one to the other within a very short time is tricky, and annoying.
I fail at feeling how people are feeling. Maybe I'm not feeling. Sometimes an attempted harmless tease could make people irritated. That's my weakness I guess.
What's the point in giving this statement? So as to show that I'm not a very feeling type of guy. So what? So as to let other people know. So what? So that they will know how to respond if I suddenly pop into their daily activity and annoy the hell out of them.
By the way, I'm someone who can be very fake. Really very fake, to the extend that it annoys people (once again). And don't expect me to give you strings of logic and points during a heated discussion.
Sorry for disturbing.

nocturnal

I presume that I'm a nocturnal animal during the holidays. This is a fact for it is proven and you can ask anyone who has talked to me at 12 ~ 1 am before. And somehow ~1am is also my most active time of the day.
But my parents don't allow me to sleep any time I want. And thus they set the time of 1 am being the latest, but somehow recently it was changed to 12 am to suit my dad's waking up in the morning for work with less trouble routine.
I prefer sleeping late.
Bleh can't sleep whenever I want in the holidays is not a very fun thing indeed.

being the good / nice guy

I wonder if I really am a Mr good guy.
I thought I was a Mr good guy, because I usually help people if they want me to help, and is nice to almost everyone, and don't mind being hit (whatever). So maybe I fulfill the qualities of a Mr good guy.
Apart from that, maybe I'm too nice, such that I became easily used. Someone had said that everyone knows that I was used since the start of the year for certain things. Decide not to reveal these since 'everyone knows', and I don't really want to spoil a friendship.
Ok, maybe I know that I'm being used. Maybe I don't know. I don't really care. I think it would be better that we just stay that way, because I'm happy. Because I'm super dense, and I don't give up. So maybe I never realise how stupid I was, but I still don't, and I don't want to realise that. Sometimes it is good to be ignorant.
If you don't get what I'm talking about, nvm..occasional randomness here. Just that I don't mind being used, but don't hurt me, and treat me nicely.

bath towel

Fx is probably in Japan by now. Enjoy your trip fx! :D
I remember before he departed he asked whether theres anything that I want him to bring back for me, and I randomly said bath towel.
Hopefully he doesn't bring back bathrobe, or bath towel with hentai on it. (I SAID IT AS A JOKE LA)
Now I wonder why did I request for bath towel. But I assume that bath towel and bed sheet are inter-exchangeable, so maybe I would use the bath towel as bed sheet. I'm weird. Oh well.
Holidays are boring me but I refuse to accept the fact that I'm supposed to write my personal writeup for OSA, and also hunt down for 5 photos of me which are actually 1.glam 2.with not a lot of people. Now I realised how hard it is for someone who only take photo of others to find photos of himself ie. me.
And of course everyday I stone at home to do anything I want, main point being I refuse to go out. Maybe it's because I would only go out if the trip is worth it, and until now the only 'worth it' trip is the commencement dinner. Although the whole thing was quite boring but yeah..
Wonder how is fx doing now. Japan must be fun. o.o

Sec 4 Commencement Dinner

The supposed 'real' last day of Sec 4 is today.
Let's say that everyone is dressed up rather formally, if that is the word. And then we went to an especially grand hotel (It's called GRAND hyatt for a reason right?) to have a supposed grand dinner. I hope I'm not being sour here if I said that all the food I ate today can be cooked by my mom if she has tasted it once..but oh well! (My mom was extremely happy upon hearing that)
And of course seeing that it might be goodbyes to a lot of friends and classmates, there were mass photo taking sessions, with random people suddenly announcing "All sec 4s under table tennis CCA please go outside for photo taking session."
And then there were ex-classmates photo taking sessions. Felt kind of warm when my aphelion ex-classmates called me to join them for photo taking. Aphelion spirit is pro.
But actually, I would say the whole event is rather boring. It may seem an insult to some, but sorry, it's just what I felt. Apart from performances by peers and photo montages and eating food and talking and taking photos, there is not much of excitement, or should I say "high time" for the students. I kept myself busy by walking around, talking to people and helping people take photos. As a matter of fact it seemed quite common for a large group of people to suddenly shout "FANYI" at the top of their voices, and I would do a 'jump' movement and help them.
I didn't come for the food. I came for the mood.
I liked the friendly mood in the air. It's as though at any time, anyone can become friends for that moment. The mood felt warm and refreshing. Perhaps it's due to the fact that it's the 'last day' for many, and hence they want to treasure it, thus the friendliness. It would be very good if everyday life is like this.
I would really miss my class. Although it lacks class spirit, but everyone forms a part of the class, we still have our fun, it's a pity that our class is not as bonded as other classes.
The end of the commencement dinner made me sad, I guess that's how life works. But I really would like to treasure all these memories.

o.o

My everyday routine for the holidays: Wake up in the afternoon (unless I want to wake up in the morning to do other stuff), play DOTA, watch anime, talk to people on msn, thinking and always failing to put in more chinese blog posts, read random manga, eat, bath, sleep.
Hurray. Such enjoyable life.
Oh by the way, ever since last year I have this strange condition where my left eye would suddenly start to hurt for no reason, then tear a lot. Sighz, maybe it's dry eyes, dunno. That's why sometimes while chatting on msn / doing work, I would suddenly go "OUCH MY EYES".
I must train my dota heroes. It's like I've played for 2 years and there is barely any improvement. Even people who start later than me are getting better than me. I'm seriously failing.
DOTA heroes to train:
Faerie Dragon - Train phase shift and aiming of orb + gank
Demon Witch - Train last hit / deny + initiate + common sense
Wisp - Train micro of wisps + ulti at the right time
CM - Train harrassing + common sense + warding
WD - Train speed in casting spells
Warlock - Train support + using ulti
Lich - Train harrassing and last hit / deny

Learn how to initiate and gank properly.
Learn how to aim spells correctly.

Self review

Today marks the end of all tests. Chinese O Levels was okay I guess, should be able to achieve A (whether it is 1 or 2). So after thinking through my 4 years in HCI, I decide to summarise the good and bad points which I feel that I possess. Because it is self review hence it is bound to be biased, but oh well. Maybe the sex bots out there get to know about me more. Yay.
Good points:
1. I am nice to everyone.
2. I don't mind being abused. (whether verbally or physically. maso ftw)
3. I listen to what people have to say.
4. I am a good listener.
5. I am protective over my friends.
6. I try to help as much as I can.
7. I do not get angry. If I did I do not last long. (See how long have I endured the person trolling at my cbox as myself.)
8. I ame very enthu when talking.
Bad points:
1. I am very very very slow. (interpret it in whatever way you want)
2. I am logically weak.
3. I do not give up, to the point that it sometimes irritates people.
4. I can get annoying.
5. I am too naive.
6. I do not take in suggestions readily.
7. I hope for things too much.
8. I do not initiate a relationship (trying to change)
9. I cannot cheer people up when they are emo.
10. I have little confidence in relationships.
11. I do not show my caring self much, because I would mask myself with a spastic side.
12. I get too kind hearted sometimes.

cabbage

I love chinese cabbage.
Now my top tier favourite vegetable shall be chinese cabbage.
Especially the type which is simmered slowly and very soft.
LOVES CHINESE CABBAGE.
Randomly being crazy a few days before chinese o levels.

chinese o levels

I shall not write about emo stuff these few days because there's chinese O levels waiting for me to (hopefully) get my A1.
The recent 'mugging' for chinese o levels was coupled with dota sessions with gc, fx, mq and edward, using random dota themed teams made up by gc / me, and somehow managing to own because gc, fx and edward are too pro.
Long sessions of chinese lesson tmr, followed by lunch with mentor. I wonder where she would bring us to.
Sleep.

Aphelion Nite

The last Aphelion Nite of my secondary school life in HCI has just ended. It was awesome, the performers put in a lot of work, and everything was great. Thanks to everyone for making my life in Aphelion enjoyable. And most importantly I love Aphelion!
Personally I feel that most of the people in Aphelion are the very sociable and outgoing type, and the class spirit is super strong. For a person like me who fails in socialising and is a loner, such strong class spirit really improves my life. Although I'm in CSE and hence away from being in a class of only one consortium, there are still many Aphelion mates around me who brightens up my life. Thanks to these people, including Bryan, Wei Xiang and Keith, and other 'jokers' who added a dash of humour into my regular classroom life.
On a random side note, received back result slip today and got msg of 1.30. Somehow physics was moderated so that my B4 became a B3. Good good.
The rest of the time would be spent on games and revision for chinese o levels.

Mushishi

Finally I decide to actually say something about this anime. It's one of the random anime I found when I was extremely bored. Due to the fact that I watched using PPS and thus the language is in chinese, I saw the title 《虫师》 so I was like "ok let's try this."
Turned out that the anime was quite nice, probably due to the fact that it's different from the normal anime that I used to watch.
Firstly, the anime has only one main character (Ginko), no supporting character (every episode there will be new characters), no character development, no romance, no fighting scene, no humour (maybe there is but I don't find it funny), no antagonist and no happy / bad ending.
People would probably go "wtf is this anime?!"
Basically it's about a man named Ginko, who is a mushishi (an expert in 'mushi', a type of special organism) and goes around the world to help people solve problems caused by mushi.
The plot for every episode would be: Ginko arrives at place X, something strange is happening at place X (eg people develop strange sickness), Ginko investigates into the illness, Ginko finds out it's causes by a mushi, Ginko solves the problem, Ginko leaves.
Which would be extremely boring for people hoping to see something exciting.
However I feel that the slow pace of the anime gives the kind of soothing feeling, especially when there's no fighting and no antagonist, the entire atmosphere is very calm, which is a great contrast to most of the anime that is at least action based.
Another random factor is because there are a lot of appear-once characters which are super cute. lol!
