exam study plan
if i don't use the computer during the study break... i will die from withdrawal symptoms due to this really serious addiction to manga and anime.....

so i have decided: for every set of notes i study, i earn 5 minutes of computer time....

it works this way: e.g. human biology and disease, digestive system 1 & 2, if i complete these two sets of notes, i get 10 minutes of computer time...

hurray!!! so let's assume, i spend average 45 mins per notes, if i study 12 sets of notes (9 hours of studying) i get 1 hour of computer time.... (hooray!!!)

so... i guess this means waking up early to have more time... okay.. decided.. i will wake up at 6.30am everyday... and i will sleep by 10.30pm everyday....

the next two and a half weeks is going to be hellish... but here are a few bright sparks in my life: - august 17th d gray man chapter 187 will be out!!!
- full metal alchemist: brotherhood episode 20 out today!!!

i must work hard today for a brighter tomorrow...

manga stuff...
argh... why are the updates so slow... i'm like waiting and waiting for chapter 98 of full metal alchemist to come out... oh.. the pain of not understanding japanese and not living in japan... sigh! okay.. i shall stop here... i mean, the scanlators and translators also probably have work or school.. so i should just quit complaining and wait patiently...

okay... d gray man will be out on august 17th!!! woohoo!!! which means the scans and translations would probably be out on 20th? hahaha.. can't wait....

oh... exams are coming... well.. first paper (analytical biochem) is on the 25th... woohoo... so screwed...

anime characters who we can learn from
well.. realized that anime characters always have this fighting spirit in them that us, normal humans don't possess... could it be due to the fact that we, in this era of peace have never ever really suffered before? we didn't lose people precious to us due to war, we didn't have to fight for survival, we probably never experienced real hunger before, we probably lived a really good life surrounded by our own petty wants....

just a random thought while doing digestive system report for human biology and disease.... i just suddenlt thought of the part where edward (from fma) was training on the island and he was so hungry that he ate ants... and that he realised that he was alive, and a part of this world.... i didn't really think much about that part... but yeah.. now suddenly thinking about it... sorry.. i'm damn random sometimes....

yeah.. realized that.. we can learn alot from anime characters... like edward's determination, he is willing to risk it all just to reach his goal of recovering him and his brother's bodies... and that, he has a sense of rightenous, and although sometimes he is beaten up so badly until he wants to give up, but he doesn't.. instead he gets up and whacks the enemy back twice as hard as they hit him...

and kyoko from skip beat, she was hurt by sho fuwa and vows revenge, and yet, in the midst of it all.. she manages to find herself and realizes that she should be fighting for herself... and she tries to break free from her past self.... and when she sets her heart to it.. she can really wow the audience.. and yeah.. she's a really hilarious person... and somehow, people can relate themselves to her in some way because they probably experienced some stuff that she went through....

d gray man emphasizes on the power of friendship.... i believe in that too... but it's just that... many people, including myself, always put this barrier between others and themselves.... it's like a precaution against getting hurt.... so yeah.. maybe the values in d gray man can't really be applied to real life because not everyone is that nice and kind....

okay.. shall stop here.. have to do reports....

manga/ anime ramblings
okay.... recently finished watching skip beat... and i find it a really inspiring and funny anime.... everyone should watch this anime at least once in their lifetime... haha.. now reading the manga.... and waiting for a sequel for them to continue the story... one thing i’m glad about is that the anime sticks to the manga storyline... so at least.. it would be worth the wait for the sequel.. and as i stated in the previous post... sequels suck... but i don’t think skip beat season 2 would be that bad... because it’s following the manga storyline.. so technically.. it’s not a sequel right? Haha.. rambling again....

since we are on the topic of sequels....
KUROSHITSUJI is having a sequel for the anime!!!
I’m having mixed feelings about this...
The rabid Sebastian fan girl in me is damn happy to see sebby in action again....
however the sequel hater in me is like: wth? Didn’t sebby kill ciel? So how is it possible to have a sequel?
But still... it would be interesting to see how the anime people manage to pull this off and make it seem convincing enough... (still thinking about the G.I Joe nanomites thingy... it’s like so rubbish lah... nanomites... lolness... are dustmites considered nanomites? Hahaha...)

And inuyasha is continuing too... it’s season 2 and not a sequel right? Hmm.. still contemplating if i should watch it... i mean... it’s like... i don’t like to watch halfway.. and i would really like to see the rest of the manga chapters in its full animated glory... also not forgetting today’s animation technology... it would be awesome!!! And hmm.. wondering if kaoru wada would still be composing for the background music.... i hope the background music is good... not like some monotonous chain of notes.... ohoh.. anime trivia here: kaoru wada also did the background music for D. Gray man... lolness...

Okay.. recently started reading this manga called Nurarihyon no mago... it’s pretty good.... it’s a refreshing change of pacing... they should seriously make this into an anime!!! Okay... in short... “Rikuo Nura, a kid that is part human and a quarter youkai (demon), lives in a house full of spirits along with his grandfather. Trying to escape his fate of acting like a demon, he does good deeds in order to avoid becoming one. Despite his grandfather's wish to succeed him as master of the Nurari youkai clan.”
Took this from onemanga... haha.. lazy to summurize the story... because i would most likely go on and on and tell you everything that happened.... you can go to

onemanga : http://www.onemanga.com/Nurarihyon_no_Mago/
Or mangafox : http://www.mangafox.com/manga/nurarihyon_no_mago/

Yepps.. it’s a gem... i really like the concept about youkai and stuff.. although it does seem a little inuyasha-ish.... haha... okay.. off for lunch now...



Nurarihyon no Mago!!!

weekly summary
okay.... pretty hectic week....

monday: cca.... still coughing....

tuesday: rushing report for cell technology ELISA practical...

wednesday: cca... rushing report for human biology and disease endocrine and blood system reports... cough worse....

thursday: analytical biochemistry practical test.... did bradford assay.... nearly died from nervousness... my hand was like shaking when i was pipetting and pouring all protein samples and bradford reagent... the graph came out quite okay.. but i had no idea how to calculate the last question...

friday: woke up at 5.30am when alarm rang... but went back to sleep... woke up again at 6.50am... and i thought it was only 5.50am.. so i continued to take my time to slowly brush my teeth in a zombie like way... it was only when i was packing my bag that i saw that it was 6.50 and that i'm frigging late for school.... so tried to eat breakfast quickly and leave house.. but throat was painful and raw after coughing the whole night.. so had difficulty swallowing bread... ended up eating slowly and reading newspapers... left house at 7.40... boarded bus at 7.55.... reached yck at 9..... entered the lecture hall at 9.10... luckily... it was the second part of the lecture after the 10mins break... so lecturer didn't really notice.... argh... totally missed the first part of the lecture and my attendance wasn't taken either.. argh.. never mind.. doesn't matter.. i went for all the other lectures.. so i don't think one missed lecture will hurt...

went to amk hub after lec to watch G.I Joe with sarah, hayden and shilka...erm... pretty predictable plot... lots of actions, computer graphics also not bad, got hot girls, loud explosion noises, the slow motion effect when the hero is trying to dodge an attack, a smart aleck 'sidekick' who is the only source of humour in the whole show.... hmm.. your typical guys action flick... guys would like this i guess... not too bad... but still... you have this feeling that the movie 'cheated' you of your money... also partly because of the ambiguous ending which screams: get ready for a sucky sequel!!! well... it's true.. 99% of movie/ drama/ anime sequels suck.... and remakes are not counted... remakes are like.. redoing the original to make it better.. although the failure rate for remakes is also quite high because people tend to compare it to the older version...

went back to school for national day celebrations.. damn boring.. they just did a showcase of NE projects and the end!!! Lol... but there was free high tea though.. but i couldn’t eat any of the food!!! Except for the sandwiches... and sarah was like pigging out on the brownies....

went to see the doctor at night... got like 4 types of medicine to eat.. there's the icky tasting cough syrup (the brown one that looks black when in the bottle..) the green round pills for phlegm... the light blue ones for runny nose.. and the yellow and brown antibiotic capsules... i keep thinking they are the colour of bumble bees... lol... and the green one for phlegm is like the magic green crystals from james and the giant peach.... haha... i know i’m weird.. but at least it makes the medicine seem less gross to eat....

SICK AGAIN!!!
okay.. pretty peaceful week... went for strings on monday but lb never come... so went home a little earlier...

thursday had human biology and disease practical... so damn fun!!! we did blood testing of glucose levels and blood typing... some voluteers had to skip breakfast and we took their blood samples to check for glucose level... i happily volunteered to be the pricker with the autolet... damn fun sia... sarah, him gee and bob were like 'stabbed' by me so many times.. hahaha.. i should have taken PS instead of MB... it's way more interesting to stab people.... okay.. actually.. it's more of pricking... it's like an ant bite really... okay.. and erm.. teacher had them to drink 2 cups of super concentrated glucose drink and then took their glucose levels again for 3 times at half hour intervals.. so i got to stab prick sarah, him gee, and bob.. erm.. 3 x 4 = 12 times!!! haha.. later sarah got her revenge to prick me for my blood to take the blood typing test.. i'm blood typ B+... (okay.. i knew it beforehand already.. but just wanted to test my own blood type... i mean.. how many people got to test their own blood type?) yepps.. that's the highlight for thursday.. it's damn fun....

friday... just boring lectures... started coughing and having sore throat.. argh.. i'm dying!! i hate being sick!!! it's torture!!! when i watch skip beat... i laugh at the funny parts and end up sounding like this: ahahahACKHACKHACKHACK!! like laugh halfway become coughing like siao... argh.. and when eating dinner... i was swallowing and the throat seize reflex suddenly acted up and i ended up coughing and trying not to spit out the food... gah.. stupid germs... all your fault...
