I would like to refer to my fellow blogger's blog post on 24th May 2008, on "careful about what you blog". [Link]
First I got to say, who has the right to intervene about what I should write in my blog. It is as good as directly ordering me what I should do in my life.
Personally, I treat this blog as a place whereby I can write everything truthfully, a place where I can be who I really am, a place where I can talk all I want. And most importantly, a place where I can tell others that this is the real me.
Moreover there is this "Profile" mini bar in my blog. For people who know me, they know that this is really my name, really my birth date and really my school. No doubt about it. In other words, I endorse on what I have written.
Perhaps my blog hasn't really outrageously criticized any of my superior, any of my elders, I feel that there's nothing wrong about criticisms if they are constructive, they are truthful and they are sincere. I also do not encourage mere cursing and bad mouthing people, but if they are truthful comments, then why not we share them here?
And to those people who wants to read into their students, or employees' "inner mind", then please have the mental preparation that you may be outraged, disappointed or tongue-tied after reading the blogs. If you are not mentally prepared for what you are going to see, choose not to view the blogs.
And you see all those entertainment stars. What do they say when they were asked about their negative reports? They say they don't watch TV, they don't read newspapers or Internet forums because they are not mentally prepared to see what they are going to see, and believe that they have done nothing wrong.
I feel that if there was ever a case I was confronted by my employer or my teacher or professor about the things I write on my blog, I will tell them,
"If you think you are not prepared to see what you are going to see, just don't view my blog. And please have more confidence in your student / employee. It is very sad for you not to come to me directly for my comments and trust me, and now having to confront me like that."
The lesson to this bunch of people: Unless you think you can swallow the consequences, don't read blogs.
And the lesson to fellow bloggers: Be responsible what you write. Eat only what you can swallow.
It is seriously very sad for people not to trust each other and result in this kind of blog searching.
And I would not want to lie to anyone about what I think. The very last person I will lie to is myself.

And here's the price tag. Well, I think this is the most expensive comic book I've ever bought. Somemore...this period of time watashi wa binbo desu. (Very similar to bimbo...but binbo means poor).
Check out the price tag!
Yes it's $11.30. It's directly imported from Japan of course. Printed in Japan. Anyway I told a lot of people already I saw a $880+ Chemical Engineering book in Kinokuniya, printed in Japan but it is written in ENGLISH. So maybe this comic is rather affordable in Japan.
But anyway, the Mr Fujiko's successors did a very good job for this book! The drawings are getting very natural now, the story flows much better, and it is much more touching than the previous books.
And it was worth the money because I took around 4 to 5 hours to finish the book. The reason?
Step 1: Read the words
Step 2: Know how to read the words
Step 3: Read the words aloud and then figure out what it means. If not, roughly guess.
LOL most of you may be interested on the last page. Pardon my scanning. I don't want to hurt the book spine so soon. Next time when I'm better in Japanese I will try to read the book again. My first Japanese book! Anyway if my translation is wrong, I apologize for my noob translation and I hope my translation makes sense.
I know how tired is it to make "scanlations" now.
And I really really want this movie to show in the cinemas! It's such a great movie. But looks like Singapore has to wait...and wait...and wait. And very few cinemas will show this wonderful story.
Ayaka really gave a very nice song to a very wonderful movie.

My blog has become a victim of all my negative emotions these days. I didn't think that it was that big of a matter, until I was triggered by an event and I realised things are not so simple after all.
There seems to be so many things that I can regard as regrets. And I won't have any chances to make up for them anymore. My piano practical exams, all the theory exams, A level, O level....so many things that will not ever come back to me again.
It is also frustrating to realise that it was my immaturity that caused all these regrets.
Maybe I didn't grab the chances to study, maybe I didn't realise that all these are important, there are just so many so many things that I know that I could have done.
But the fact is that...I really did screw up.
And I am not getting any chances to encourage me and tell me it's ok to fail once or I'm not screwing up that badly.
And this very event, told me very squarely in my face that I don't deserve anymore chances because of the fact that I messed things up.
I have been trying to console someone who said that he screwed up but the fact that he did not screw up. It takes me that extra effort to console him that he didn't and I still need to look back and tell myself that everything is fine and it's ok for me to screw up.
All the "sorry la" or whatever may not matter already. The damage was done.
Why are we so upset about not getting everything when we came to this world for nothing? Because we worked hard.
And because we always need a chance to get recognised and somebody or some event to tell us that you are doing the right thing and you should follow your path.
It's simply too realistic.
I don't feel like helping you anymore because I can't even help myself.
I can't help myself because I don't have the chance to repair the damage already.
