distinctive voices

"orz omg
Finally done pre-writing essay for IRP exam. Being in the dip is a terrifying experience, though I'm still highly skeptical that I interpreted the question correctly. Oh well, done is done.

It somehow managed to include everything I've learned in the year so far. Defense mechanisms to cope with isolation (from Prufrock), existential overtones (you must create your own identity), Hamlet essay (structure)....oh my "orz. I repeat, oh well, done is done.

Except I'm not actually done "orz Gotta memorize all 1297 words of it ;D (minus quotations, which makes it significantly shorter lol. Though still within word range, first time ever for in-class writing lol). And after that, a presentation based on novel study. whoohooo e_e

Masqued

Still stuck on English IRP, but at least I'm done worrying over prom :)

Dress - check
Shoes - check (this was much more stressful than getting the dress. Though my sales assistant was extremely nice <3)
Accessories - my own, yay saving money

Make-up and hair: durrr. Really tempted to just do my own make-up. $50 at MACs is a lot, especially considering that I rather get cosmetics back in asia... Hair wise, the style I want is pretty simple. Famfriends salon or just friends doing each others hair xD

Should be a fun night :)

Sakamichi no Apollon





Favourite anime this season ;D Must must must watch!
(thanks again Kenn, I can't imagine missing out on this e_e")

It's so refreshing and heart warming ;D (cue Renje from Ouran. And Kaoru resembles Kyoya's appearance too xD)

Additional coincidence (err not really a coincidence, unsure of a more accurate word though) is that it airs in the Noitamina timeslot! So many series that highly regard aired in this slot, going by the wiki list:
  • Honey and Clover (needs no elaboration)
  • Paradise Kiss (Did not watch the anime, but manga was great)
  • Nodame Cantabile
  • Moyashimon 
  • Eden of the East (<3)
  • Saraiya Goyou (underrated, plot and character development was amazing)
  • AnoHana
  • UN-GO (ughhhhhh, I need to find the prequel!)
Should also watch Korra and catch up on Cowboy Bepop & older seasons of Lupin, goodbye scholarships~

Ay theres the rub

A sure sign that English has gotten to you is when every phrase that vaguely, whether it was intended to or not, alludes to Hamlet stands straight out. I count at least 4 incidences in a book about cosmology "orz
Granted there were references to other books as well, so its not as bad @_@

The epilogue of the book contained a question asked by Einstein. He asked whether god had a choice in creating the universe the way it is. Reminds me of Sirens Of Titan (Vonnegut). Recently finished that too, twas good. Similar to Hitchhikers, but makes infinitely more sense. Lots of good quotations in there :)

Day feels complete with bedtime stories haha.
