So it's been another not-so-good week. I've left my Amaths homework till last minute (I've always do) and I fallen sick twice in two weeks. Man like what's been wrong with me these few days, and just recently, I have a sudden urge to get back to playing DotA again; which means bad news. Everything is turning out like last year, and last year, semester 3 was one of the WORST PERIOD OF MY SECONDARY SCHOOL LIFE.
I flunked semester 3, failed almost ALL my subjects (English, Maths, C.H., Chinese, AddMaths, D&T - I failed them all.), got hopelessly addicted to DotA (and reflecting back, I still was playing DotA even my test was just a day away)and falling into a relationship - but no more.
This time I ain't failing more than 2 of my subjects (which is always the usual, AddMaths and Chinese) and I had better get myself out of this DotA addiction...! Of course, I should pay a little visit back to my Maplestory guildmates once in a while or so, hopefully I have'nt been expelled from the guild. And NO more relationships until I get the end of my O levels - and if I'm even getting any, 99.999% of the chances would be that...alright forget it; let's not wander too far off topic.
Anyways that's about all, a new episode of Bleach yesterday and a new chapter of Bleach today. Not really that good thou.
Signing off- Gene..

It's been eventful.
Alright so these few days had been kinda eventful while I have not been updating my blog, but it's all cool.
So the previous Friday I went to a " Cultural Nite " event hosted by my school in collaboration with some Philippines High School Arts thingy and Singapore polytechnic. It was...kinda sucky if you asked me. No difference from your average weekly assembly, the ironic thing is, while we all dread assemblies, most of us paid $10 to watch the performances, but heck, I'll just go with the flow at the moment.
Saturday and Sunday were as usual, tuition and...yeah, that's about all.
Have'nt completed my D&T artifact thou, so I guess I need to rush things up, maybe cut some ideas from my artifact, thou shall not fail this.
Monday and Tuesday were nothing much to mention about either. Cept that I had a VERY bad flue on Tuesday; and on Wednesday I felled sick with a fever.
Today's Thursday and I feel much better, however I have not really gotten my voice back and my throat still sores...and I have good news, actually 2 good news...make that 2 good news and 1 bad news.
Good news : BLEACH 180 !
Good news 2 : I've received news that I'M GOING TO BE ENROLLED TO A INTERMEDIATE JAPANESE COURSE !!
Bad news : I think I failed my Addmaths test on Intergration today. God dammit, I KNEW how to differentiate and intergrate, yet I still did wrong. I had auctually FORGOTTEN to multiply something and POOF, there goes my grades. No matter, I'll try even harder for the next test, I will.
Edited : I MUST TRY HARDER FOR THE NEXT TEST.
Anyway so yeah, that's my " eventful " week.

Determined and depressing.
Alright so it's another new week. Well, my Design and Technology artefact MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be completed by this week or else I'll fail my D&T N levels examination.
And I MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST regain my position back when I was in the top 10 in class; and these are the subjects that I'm taking down with me :
English - Nuff' said. A1.
Maths - I was EXCELLENT in this until I reached secondary 3. Somehow I screwed up my secondary 3 and lost my way in Mathematics, thus making me fail at 40+ marks or even 60 marks at highest. No more, I'm striving hard to change my 6x or 7x marks into a 8x or even a 9x score for my examinations, it's a new syllabus this year, so I doubt it's going to be easy anymore. Nevertheless, I have my potential.
Science - An A1 for this is a MUST if I would want to get into a medical course.
Combined Humanities - I did NOT study for this and I could easily get an distinction. However, some last minute revision won't kill. Who knows ? It may turn my A2 to an A1.
D&T - I picked this subject personally and I'm going to ACE it. I don't see how can I get a 'C' for this in the past few semester - and even a ' Just pass ' and even a 50/100 last year for an overall. Crap this - I'm going to ACE it.
AddMaths - A B3 would be good, and if I got an A2 for this subject I could literally FLY to the sky. Now that I have a tuition teacher, I'm going to pull my grades up.
Now, notice that I did not mention 'Chinese'. Well; I've given up on it, but I'll still take the paper and try my luck. It's frustrating how I keep getting 40~49 marks for this subject yet I RARELY get a 50+ for Chinese. Even so, 50 marks for Chinese language on a N level subject is considered failure.
What I PLAN to take : Japanese. I've got a BASIC course cert and waiting for my next course. Maybe this could replace Chinese altogether...

Anyway I watched the last episode of Ginban Kaleidoscope a few days ago and yeah I must say I cried at the ending. Oh, I won't leak any spoilers. If you want reviews then it's on the previous post.
Yesterday, I planned to update my blog but due to the time constrain, I can't. I was busy watching my movie that I forgot. What movie, you ask? ' Grave of the fireflies '. This is a REALLY tragic movie that goes features a teenage Japanese guy during World War 2 when the Japan bombed Pearl harbor. We all know that the American threw two atomic bombs at them, but this was what REALLY happens in the eyes of a Japanese during World War 2 when the Americans came into the fray.
Truly touching, I cried while watching the movie too. If you are looking for a really depressing movie, this is the movie for you.
Alright, it's time for me to sign off now.
Till next time, Gene.

Anime-craze is BACK !!
It has been another fast week, especially with the help of media, my after-school activities will never be boring again.
And I'm not just sitting on the chair to spam the CTRL button killing some monsters or whatnot - I'm watching ANIME.
Right, so this week I watched 2 NEW animes, and boy I must say they are pretty good.
1) Kamen no Maid Guy ( Ecchi, Humor )
This is one of the very comical anime I've seen. However, it's a little slow on the subbing, which is a real pity. I won't post any spoilers, but I'll give this anime a 4.7/5 rating. I think it has about 12~13 episodes. So yeah it's worth a try.
2)Ginban Kaleidoscope ( Supernatural, Sports, Romance )
Now, how often do you see an anime which has the genre of a Supernatural and Sports? This is my FIRST time watching an anime of two of these genre and it's EXELLENT. Especially the Opening theme - it's SUPER. It's fully released on cruchyroll.com ( 12~13 episodes ) so I HIGHLY recommend this anime if you are a fan of romance, besides I like the way the designer draws the lead character, makes me think what would my life be like if I were borned in Japan instead...I'd give the anime an 4.9/5 , and the downside is not many people I know watch this anime (nor the one above), unlike the famous ones like Bleach, Naruto, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, One Piece etc etc.
Anyway that's all I have to blog about for the moment;
