Wednesday, February 18, 2009 Suddenly I wonder how I rate as a friend. What is the value of having me as a friend? Do I listen to your problems? Do I cheer you up? Do I offer wise advice? Do I show care and concern? Admittedly I haven't been paying much attention to my friends. Like, since forever. I don't initiate meetups, I don't talk to them (not even on MSN nowadays), I barely know what they're up to. And recently I've become somewhat unfriendly even, always wanting to go home early, complaining about how much we're spending.. It's time for some self-reflection. I'll be thinking about it over this week. Friday, February 13, 2009  Thursday, February 12, 2009 I guess, a lot of the time, the people close to us hurt us without meaning to. And sometimes it is not their actions (or lack of it) that hurts us, but our own expectations of them that cause us grief. Many times, in many great and little ways, the people around us do things for us. Yet we still get upset with them because of the things that they didn't do. But maybe, when we weigh the things they do against the things that they don't, we'll discover that we cannot hold it against them for not doing so little, when they've already done so much.

Sunday, February 08, 2009  Saturday, February 07, 2009 "明日やるは馬鹿やろうだ。"-- Rei's grandfather, Proposal Daisakusen Roughly translated, "Those who say they'll do it tomorrow are idiots". Courtesy of my bro. Friday, February 06, 2009 I hope it won't take a Statistics major to understand this, I mean, I'm not a Statistics major yet I understand this.  Note: For xkcd comics, hover your mouse pointer over the image for another punchline. =) Thursday, February 05, 2009  I sacrificed a precious hour of time (FYP meeting tomorrow and nothing yet done!) to catch episode 1 of Proposal Daisakusen, which has been sitting in my computer since last night. It stars the ever-lovely Masami Nagasawa, which is also the reason why I'm watching J-dramas all of a sudden. The story is compelling: The moment you realise someone is the love of your life, is the moment he/she gets married to someone else. However, what if you were given a chance to do it all over again, to correct all your mistakes, to become the man by her side instead of just another guest at the wedding dinner? So, first episode has been quite good. Masami Nagasawa is gorgeous in a wedding dress, much prettier than in 『世界の中心で』 because this time she isn't supposed to be sick. I laughed out loud quite a few times. The story wasn't lame, and wasn't too cliche (except for the bright-light-from-the-sky bit). So, recommended! I must be getting soft, watching so much romance stuff. And here's another really funny video from this week's Jap lecture. Much funnier than the previous one, in my opinion. And more easily understood even for non-Japanese speakers. No, it's not just because of the Chinese subtitles. I wish I could show you guys a video of Nagami-sensei's lectures, so you'll understand why I'm gushing with praise. Wednesday, February 04, 2009 I'm really glad to be taking Jap in NUS because I think we have the best lectures, lecturers and tutors in the whole of Singapore. The amount of effort our senseis put into the lessons is way beyond my expectations, and I am in total awe of them. Nagami-sensei must spend hours every day sourcing for all the pictures and videos that he uses in his lectures. Every lecture we learn not just about particles and tenses, but also about places, people and traditions in Japan. These are the most enjoyable lectures I've ever attended. In this week's lectures, this video cracked us all up. It's about the things you shouldn't do in cinemas.. Sunday, February 01, 2009 Save The Words. Words that are seeing declining use in print and speech, and only exist in the dictionary. You can choose to adopt-a-word, and pledge to use it as often as you can. Cool concept, worth a visit. |
