:+: Fine after rain :+:

Shoot , I just realised that HMV Heeren has began to import BREAKERZ's stuff over here :O after I went down yesterday & I was so shocked & yet surprised to see Angelic Smile / WINTER PARTY on sale (both CD only editions although oddly enough the one with the Angelic Smile cover is $23.95 , $2 more expensive than the WINTER PARTY cover) but I guess it doesn't come with the 1st press bonus which's a B2 sized poster .

The reason why I said so is because HMV doesn't import their 1st 2 albums , 1st 2 singles & also for Ao no Mirai EP case which caught me by surprise .

But still I'm real happy to know that at least there're some BREAKERZ , alan , GIRL NEXT DOOR's fans in S'pore as I believe HMV's bringing in their stuff now probably due to demand from customers since for alan's case , HMV didn't brought in her singles til Kaze no Tegami (HMV only brought in 1 copy each of Kaze no Tegami & RED CLIFF initally wtf but at least they brought in more copies of Megumi no Ame this time round) onwards & for GIRL NEXT DOOR's case , from Drive away / Shiawase no Jouken onwards .

Aiya if I know HMV is bringing in both the normal CD & the 1st press CD only editions of BREAKERZ's 3rd album BIG BANG ! (in which the 1st press comes with a 80 page photobook hello more DAIGO , AKIHIDE & SHINPEI goodness <3) this coming week , I would have long ago cancelled my preorder that I did from CDJapan but alas now I cannot cancel my order since it's already In Shipping Process .

Never mind it's a mistake that I have learnt but at least this means that in future , I just head onto HMV to get my alan , GIRL NEXT DOOR & BREAKERZ's fix as frankly I will only get something online if I cannot find what I'm looking for in S'pore & it just so happened this incident took place but ah well .

& just 2 more days prior to the release of BIG BANG ! , yahoo !

Sometimes I wonder when to draw the line to be nice to people & to be too nice to people . No doubt there's always a constant stuggle to balance & to distinguish both aspects of things but this somehow always led to broken friendships & the fact that I'm disgusted in the way people walked over me in due time .

Even my friend Cliff said that I shouldn't be too nice to people but rather the only person that I can treat as a VIP is me alone which I feel he's correct since obviously he's older & can relate to mostly everything I'm going though now .

Because of the fact that I was too nice & not to mention too giving to the local music scene , which led me to leave the place in due time as I saw a lot of things I wasn't happy about , things like people not appreciating the amount of time/effort that I spent promoting the local bands & I remembered Weng Yew telling me they think they're too cool for their own good in which I can't help but admit that he's right looking back on what I've done for the scene .

So if I suddenly became this mean spirited bitch you know why . I think it's about time to tell the whole world that I'm actually by right not a very nice person to begin with . If you were to know the real me , I will give you hell all day & all night .

Yatta ! I'm finally finally done with my Uni trimester today & it has been a journey & it's so fast that 3-4 months has flew by just like that in a snap .

Naturally I experienced my fair share of lows & highs during this somewhat difficult period that I went though but every cloud has a silver lining & I'm so relieved this nightmare that I had experienced , it's finally over ... for now . Not before I can sit around & just do nothing , I have exams knocking on my door in 2 weeks's time + but after that yosh holidays which I can't wait , inclusive of my 1st Genting trip in 2 years & also it will be the 1st time that I will be going into the Casino legally yay

I still can remember like it was yesterday in that I kept on saying that I wanted to quit & get outta this hell hole & I stuck with it & solidered on & after 3-4 months , this 1st Uni trimester that I went though , it's finally over & done with in which I'm so damn relieved .

In a way I felt that I got back my old spirit back after I received my 2nd statistics quiz results/paper back earlier on this morning . I really thought I would flunk it super big time as I took it last Sat in the computer lab & I was feeling so sick .

I was having fever & a flu but still I went ahead & sit for the test . If not I wouldn't get any marks & it's accountable in my coursework too . When you're sick , you don't know what you're writing in your answer script & that's what happened to me .

I was so proven wrong when I got back the paper today , 21/28 which's awesome to me considering that I wasn't in tip top shape when I took it but I did even better than I thought so & yes I was quite shocked when I got back the paper from my tutorial lecturer .

Guess it shows that as long as I put my heart & soul into something , things will work out for me .

I'm going to the temple tomorrow with my mum since she wants to pray for Hui Lin as she's heading to Genting next week (you know what this means ? the house will be damn quiet without her wahaha) . As for me , well the usual since my exams are coming & that's what I'll do . Head down to the temple & pray that nothing will go wrong when I sit for my exams in time to come .

My mum texted me eariler on this afternoon to say that 1 of my relatives whose name goes by the name of Daniel , his grandma passed away this morning at the rip old age of 88 & naturally I'm pretty devastated over this because I remembered Daniel's grandma to be a really cheerful lady & that her Eng & Cantonese command were really good & I always had a good conversation with her here & there whenever I got the chance to see her & that she also loved mahjong too as much as I do .

The last time I saw her was Chinese New Year this year & she was wheelchair bounded for quite some time . My mum didn't gave me the exact reason/s on her passing but I believed it was due to old age .

I still don't know whether will my whole family be attending Daniel's grandma's wake in days to come (as at this point in time I never had attended one yet) but all I know's that life's very vulnerable & short . I'm just lucky that at this point in time , both my paternal grandparents & my maternal grandma are still around & that they have watched me grown up from a baby til an adult .

I know other people are not as lucky as I'm but I think it's time for me to start cherishing the loved ones that you got around you because once they're gone , that's it & it will be too late for regrets by then .

Rest in peace , Daniel's grandma . At least you wouldn't be suffering anymore & that you're on heaven now watching every single one of your loved ones now .

My mum & I had a fight of sorts earlier on when I told her that I went to meet Jia Rong & Travis for the 1st time after I was done with school . So much for telling her about this where I got scolded in the end & the ironic thing was that in the 1st place she wants me to tell everything to her in times of need but yet this's what I got of her , a scolding -_-

Anyway to me it doesn't matter because eventually at the end of the day I'm responsible for the actions that I choose to undertake . Maybe next time I should bring my mum along if I meet people & etc . She probably heard stories on the media about meeting people that you befriend someone but honestly so far I haven't had problems of sorts .. yet so in a way I'm lucky .

I just realise that next week will be the final week of my Uni term which's so fast & scary & to think it seems like yesterday that I kept on saying that I want to quit & get out of this hell hole but 12 weeks / 3 months has flew by already within a snap of my fingers & right now I'm more or less have been sane .

I so can't wait for the holidays to come when Dec comes in . Even though Christmas's still a month or so away , I probably should start planning to do up on my Christmas shopping list & also the no. of Christmas cards that I have to print & mail out to people too . It's early yes but better late than never .

I went to Jurong Medical Centre for a 6 months follow up checkup for my ears . My dad accompanied me & thank goodness I don't have school on a Wed .

I did the usual standard tests to check on my ears & the doctor flushed out all the ear wax that were stuck inside both my ears & it was a bit painful especially with regards to my left ear as there was too much ear wax stuck inside & after that I did the audio test & oddly enough , my results for both audio test that I did just now & 6 months ago were roughly about the same .

I still have tinnitus going on in me & it's something that I have to live with whether I like it or not but now I'm used to it since I have this condition since young but the doctor said that to play safe , it's better if I go for an ear checkup on an annual basis since this problem runs in my family , practically my dad's side .

Oh I received a card & note from Seb earlier on today which totally caught me by surprise & aw it made my day on this otherwise gloomy Mon .

The 1 thing that stuck me on what Seb wrote a thing or two is 1st of all , his handwriting's sibei neat for a guy & he actually wrote my surname in traditional chinese context which's hard to do :O

Thanks dude I really appericate on what you have wrote in the card & note for me .

Yesterday I went back to my maternal grandma's house for dinner & it has been a while since I went back to her house . Not to mention she was bored & wanted to play Mahjong with my dad & since everyone at my maternal side was going back I thought why not ?

I really missed her cooking & at least now her maid's cooking has improved a lot . As evident in the omelette that she cooked . Last time it was salty like hell but yesterday's one was pure wow , so much so that I ate everything ;p & my mum still asked me why I don't want to eat rice .

Well hello there were a lot of dishes that my grandma's maid prepared & poor Hui Li caved in under 'pressure' from my mum .

I hope I can go back to my grandma's house again for dinner . Home cooked food's always the best I say .
