More books!!!

haven't been able to post for a while 'coz of exams and some weird error blogger keeps on giving me, but oh well, i'm back ^-^

went with kemin to kinokuniya today... thot i could get the fushigi yuugi mag for meself and sil, but seems like it'll only be in next week or so... meanwhile, got my kanji dictionary, plus i found the chinese translations of Juuni Kokuki novels and Kino no Tabi!!! bought 2 of the JK novels (gonna buy the rest much later after i haf saved up) but sticking to the original Japanese for kino since (1) i can sorta understand it plus i do need to prac my japanese, (2) it's not that much more expensive, (3) i already started collecting the japanese version, (4) the size is so much handier!!!

the last paper is finally on wed, and it's off to camp the next day!!

more words from me ^-^

camp reg officially closed but still haf pple signing up...*sigh* from now on, pple who wanna signup must hand in their forms and fees at the same time!!!! zealyn and i are having a hard time keeping records since evrything is in a big mess, plus the rest of comm also need the fixed numbers...hopefully we wld be able to collect all the money before the actual camp itself... really looking forward to the camp! *happy* that i get to start my hols w a BANG!!! pray that the camp would ba a great success!

anyway, i watched Final Fantasy: the spirits within yesterday. (yes i know that i am kinda laggie since this like came out quite some time back) no matter how many times i see the FF CGIs, i still am amazed at how well it is done! LOTR ones bland in really well in the overall movie (except weird stuff like when legolas does a really awkward leaping style while mounting a horse in 2 towers ^-^ the storyline is pretty decent, as with the ff series (as far as i know, since i haf yet to play a single one, since the proper equipment are lacking aka no ps2) *partial spoiler* the idea of needing 8 spirits (all from differing levels of biological diversity) in order to counter the invasion of the phantoms is rather nifty. call me naive or idealistic but i really love the idea of unity and cooperation for the good of all. taking the road less travelled instead of resorting to the easiest answer of violence.

just went to kinokuniya to collect the kino no tabi vol I novel i ordered (plus bought some other manga in chinese) since 2 of my frens, kemin and liling would be heading over to japan in dec, i'll be getting them to help buy the other 6 kino novels (3 books each) hehz... =^-^= must remember to remind them again just after the exams. but even if they forget, i can always order thru kinokuniya (getting kino fr kino) since i am fortunate enough to have a few branches in singapore! but need to get kanji dictionary next... prob in dec since exams are drawing near and i stil haf my lsm2201 report dued on thu... the dictionary would def be a great help, esp since nxt sem i'll prob be taking jap 3 where there wld be loads of compo writing, and besides, i borrowed a folktale-ish book, 「神々のたたり」 (kamigami no tatari; curse of the gods) from the japanese collection in the NUS chinese lib... the simplest book i could find there, but still can't understand everything. がんばらなければ　ならない　よ！

Mangroves, さよなら！！

Yay!!! 72 presentation over liaoz!!! some how we ended way too early... so instead of 25 mi presentation, 15 Q & A, we had 15 min presentation and 25 min of the firing squad!!! *sigh* but at least it is all over, after 2 semesters ^-^ well... need to commend goose and spider for putting up with this silly 鼠... especially for this semester, with me running off haf the time... ごめん　ね。。。 but now can just chuck the whole lot away!!!! *parties*shall celebrate by watching 「十二国記」　and 「犬夜叉」 on central tonite.

anyway, the chain of cathay cinemas in Singapore would be showing this new Japanese movie 「海猿」 appears to be a story about a group of 14 guys who wanna be come naval divers.... there's a review in english here. The director is Hasumi Eiichiro, and the trailer makes it look rather interesting. ぜひ見たいよ！ pretty interesting that I would actually be interested in a Japanese show that is NOT アニメ　(animated film) LOL but will try and check it out after my exams *crosses fingers and hopes that it would still be showing after the exams*

wrapping up YM camp registration this sunday, and handing over the collection of camp fees to the corinne and joel tan ^-^ now zeal and i would be free to help grace and lester with the groupings and preparation of the sleeping logistics... *must remember to get the list of loving adults from wendy*

10 days to exams, 21 days to camp...

昨は最後の日本語TBクラス。。。

okay...very tiring to type japanese directly into the comp without writing it out first...so this is gonna be in english (except for the title that is)

had my last japanese tutorial for the semester... very sad... we had a mini-party after TB yesterday ^-^ green tea cake from breadtalk!! とても　おいしかった！But kinda sad that we won't see each other until next sem when we take jap 3 (we all agreed to bid for it!!) また　学期　ね！waiting for the photos to be sent... shawn-さん、早く送ってください！！！

昨日、jerome-さんは新しい電子辞書が持って来ました。それで、あたしの名前（中国語の漢字）を見つけました。the furigana for my name in japanese kanji would be はやし・ケンケイ and the japanese kanji would be 林絹慧。。。kinda similar to the chinese hanzi... except juan is a 女 on the left side instead... おもしろいでしょう？ =^-^= *meow*

*finally* no more lessons ^-^ both vivas also over! 2 reports and 1 presentation to go... then exams and YOUTH CAMP!!!! yay!!! just submitted some scans of calendar cards i got from Comic Connections, and now i levelled up to 10, so i can grab scans to do walls. よかったね！今、wallpaperが使うことできます!

last day of lessons... 8 to 8 day....

*hefty sigh* it's the last day of lessons for me (since tomorrow is just one ca plus one viva) and i haf a 8am to 8pm day... really thank God that the viva slated for 10am - 12nn was postponed to tomorrow... so i haf a breather... plus since i am skipping the chem lect *again* i haf a decent lunch block... plus get to study for cell bio ca and japanese vocab quiz too! =^-^=

at least the utter madness that is known as 72 is *finally* gonna be over, as of this friday!! that would leave 2 reports to do... chem lab and my experimental biochem one.... can't believe that i;m looking fwd to exams... mainly only because i would finally get to rest... and time to get a kanji dictionary to help me japanese... okay, need to finish writing sensei's card, and study....

New book!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!! can't believe I actually bought a Kino no Tabi novel!!! mainly because it's in Japanese... ladidadida... was supposed to get vol 3 of the fushigi yuugi PERFECT WORLD magazine for myself and Sil (from the TamaNeko website) but since it wasn't around, i searched for japanese novels instead.... mainly Kino no Tabi (Kino's Travels) and Juuni Kokuki (12 kingdoms)... only vol 8 (the newest) vol of the kino no tabi series was available, so i bought it.... as much as i want to, i didn't buy the kino no tabi artbook (SGD$70-odd).... ordered vol 1, so i'll prob collect at the same time as i buy FY PW (in the middle of the exams) gives me around 3 - 4 weeks to save up the money [boy am i a sucker for books!]

please don't be mistaken and think that my japanese is actually good enough that i can actually fully understand the entire novel.... prob only around lower primary level at best... just that i like the style of kino no tabi (plus i know chinese, so the meaning of the kanji can be glimpsed) ^-^ *meow* prob need to invest in a kanji dictionary during the holidays... interesting fact...the illustrator of kino no tabi has a pretty interesting kanji name.... kuroboshi kouhaku.... but the kanji mean "black star red white".... wellz, my profile pic is kino ^-^ really like the anime, can't wait for the movie to be out next year!

countdown: 2 more weeks....

2 more weeks of lessons, then it's reading week.....then exams....and camp!! ^-^ *bounces around*

anyway, i deleted sekai no shio. why? 'coz i realise that each entry here is actually a testimony of what God is doing in my life. an online record of wat's happening (of course there would be stuff that's just too private to share online...that's wat my journal's for!!) ahwell...since nothing was posted there in the first place....

projects and camp registration are driving me a little mad....i do complain a tad bit too much but that's one way to let me calm down and re-look the situations from another angle. sudden influx of people signed up (which is good) but the sudden influx just gives us (me and zealyn) a whole lot of work to do (esp since at least me is already bogged down with stuff) do hope that zealyn can cope.... i really dun like the fact that i appear dependable when i actually am quite a slacker who just wants to enjoy life... sigh...

okie...back to doing changes for my SP2172 report....
