This is going to be such a different posts compared to my usual laid back posts. More of ranting though...

To work with smart people is a great thing. They have great ideas, initiatives and are able to materialize many ideas. However, the downside to it is that they become too self-centered. Within a project, there are sub-committees and these sub-committees are supposed to work together so that we can produce our final product as one main committee. More often than not, the sub-committees will rely a lot on each other so as to produce a coherent final product. Thus, any changes within a sub-comm would affect other sub-comms. Supposed that your sub-comm is the main idea of the project and other sub-comms will need to complement you, the more the other sub-comms will have to work together with you. You tell us your idea and we try our best to complement you, but you criticise our ideas. Well, that is a given, to criticise each other such that we can improve together. Then, you suddenly changed your plans and expect us to fit with you with such short notice. Fine, these things are inevitable, plans do fail and changing them are very common. So we come up with some ideas and you decide to criticize us again. I am not saying that you cannot criticize, but do you really mean it? You just happily decided to say "it may look weird" but when we asked you to explain, you can't really say anything to substantiate your point. You question all the technical stuff that that we as sub-comm ICs are in-charged of. Are you trying to say that we as sub-comm ICs can't handle? You expect others to suit your idea and not try to compromise. When you came up with your initial plan, we had some ideas to complement but you just thought our ideas are not in sync with yours. We also questioned your initial plans but give some suggestions and you choose to ignore them. Now that you realised that your initial plan can't work anymore, you suddenly switched plans and tell us that we have to scrape our ideas. To me, it feels like you have your own idea and you feel so strongly about your ideas and so everyone else must follow you. You do not just comment for fun. When we asked if you have other suggestions to our ideas to complement your new plans, you can even utter a word. So do you genuinely want to feedback or just want to criticize for the fun of it? Then you go on to say that we should reduce the things that we do even the teachers feel that we should do more. To be extreme, your attitude just makes me feel that you are worried that our ideas will outdo yours and thus explaining your behavior. I dun noe about your all, but all i feel is that as one main comm, we should help each other as much as possible. We encouraged you and even gave suggestions to add on to you idea without being a wet-blanket and yet what you only do is criticize. I do not feel that warm feeling of working in a group.

Another thing is that you think you are always right. What gives you the right to say someone is weird? I maybe listening to you and nodding my head when you talk about someone else behind their backs and say that they are weird, but the truth is, i am disappointed in you to almost the point that i despise you.

Seriously, you don't think you can say things so easily. I may always be laughing and look like those happy-go-lucky kind of person. But you seriously do not want to test my patience. I have made guys cry before and you do not want that to happen to you.

But then again, maybe i am just not good enough that i cannot think of nice ideas...

I shud sleep more.

The past week had been a crazy one. Average time that i left school for home last week is 7pm, with latest leaving school at 10pm and earliest at 5pm. There was also one day where I had like 4 consecutive meetings in a row after school. After each day I was so shag that I could not do any work but just get knocked out before 11pm. I think i also old liao, cannot stay up late like last time. Haiz old liao old liao.

Not only that luh, there was so much work to do last week, ranging from the basic tutorials for EACH subject to PW Eom to council stuff (like all my council work chionging at me at one go cus the deadlines for BOTH my standing and working comm work are like by these 2 months). What makes things worst is the stupid PE module that my class suay suay get (dance, which is quite boring) need to do a presentation and if we dun, we will get demerit points-.- The teachers just dun get it sia. They make it sound easy, "u need to start the work I give you NOW". But what they dun realise is EVERY teacher is saying the same thing so if everyone wants me to do the work NOW, which exactly do i do NOW?

My block test results are also pure rubbish. But even I have such shitty results, I still dun have the motivation to study. Maybe I am just too tired to even care... Just when I thought my classmates results were good, I realised there are a lot more where that came from from other classes. I am like super below average. I noe I need to work, but my inertia to study just gets bigger and bigger. Maybe it is also partially because I have become more stupid due to the lousy sleeping habits I have in the past...

But on the brighter side, I got to slack on Sat. Went to watch HP 7 part 2 (i swear i am not going to go watch a movie if I think i am going to be late again, so rush and difficult to find seats when it is so dark...) Then slacked around in plaza sing, before going to the railway track at KAP. I dunno why 6H ppl like the railway track so much, but oh wells, it does not really matter to me where we go, just being able to slack will be good enough for me.

So Sun I had to chiong my econs project (redo cus the teacher did not get the right file from my friend) until I forgot to sleep. LOL YES I DID IT AGAIN (although it is like detrimental to my health and will cut my life by dunno how long). So now my eyes stings and are closing liao... So I shall end hereeeeee

Just call it an obsession. I am obsessed with One Piece. It's an anime ongoing for more than 10 years already and contrary to people's believe, it's not draggy at all. For some reason it is able to link up the whole story so well. For example, they left some sort of a cliff hanger before they started out at the grand line and gave a full explanation again some 200 episodes later. It was about this whale who thought he was abandon by a crew of pirates. They said they could not bring the baby whale along as it was too dangerous and that they would return to get him back one day after they completed their journey. But after many years, they have not returned and the whale was very depressed that it begun self-mutilating. 200 episodes or so later, the strawhat pirates met with this talking skeleton and it turned out that the skeleton was in the crew that left the whale there. What really happened was that the entire crew was wiped out except for the skeleton dude, and now he has join the strawhat pirates to complete the journey and return to the place where they left the baby whale. It it was me writing a 400 word story, i would have forgotten about the link back to the whale, not mentioning it was after 200 episodes. Thats why i think the story flows really well.

Not only does the story flows well, it has very well developed elements of suspense, action, comedy and sadness. The fights are well drawn. Although the good guys always win or that they lose initially but win after a rematch (if not continue the story alr), it does not have epic scenes where the good guy talks a lot and delivers one fatal blow and tada thats the end. I loved the ennies lobby arc cus it has the Merry Go scene which is extremely touching and the action was good and most importantly, THEY ARE SAVING NICO ROBIN. HAHA. But my favourite part of One piece is how it emphasises on the idea of nakama. The friendship in the whole anime is so damn inspiring. The straw hat pirates may have met with totally different aims, but they function as one. Unlike other crews, they do not have a hierarchy system in the crew, though they do unanimously agree that luffy is the captain. That's what i really liked about their crew where they function as a team of friends, not as part of a system where only the captain gives the instruction. Their team chemistry is just so good that they seem to be the perfect team where they can rely completely on each other. I guess this kind of thing is quite hard to find in reality. The crew has spent so much time together that it allows them to open up to each other and know each other well. Whats more is that they are such motivated people (i think its mostly cus of luffy's character). In reality, people come and go. We meet new people now and then and lose contact with old friends at the same time, so it's hard to actually spend so much time with each other and build the friendship + chemistry. But i believe there are such people around (:

Actually, not true that the good guys always win. I just remembered that Ace (luffy's bro (not blood related)) and whitebeard died in the marine war. I guess thats the turning point to the whole story as that is considered a complete defeat for luffy since he could not protect his crew mates and didnt manage to save Ace. But now at 500 episodes, its a new beginning for them, as they continue to the new world (region where all the pros are) and this is of cus accompanied by a new opening song. HAHA. Cus this is a new song, so ppl haven done a nice video for it yet...

let’s head out before night becomes dawn
let’s go to face the unknown tomorrow
I’ve already decided to have no regrets
(Oh I know what I’m supposed to do)

my heart can’t help getting excited
over the kind of trials awaiting us
there’s only one place we’re aiming for
(Fly to the light)

our resolve won at the end of the fight:
we won’t let anyone get hurt
if you open your tightly clutched hands
you’ll find there is power dwelling inside

come on, time to go
the new world is calling us
hey, don’t you see
we’ll always be there for each other
no matter how many seas separate us
don’t be afraid of what’s ahead
because don’t forget
We fight together

birds taking flight on the wind
passed through the rainbow
towards a future where flowers called ‘hope’ bloom
(the flowers will never die)

you tucked away a desire reaching out for that place
inside your heart
isn’t it getting a little tight in there?
(fly to the light!)

what can you defend lying to yourself?
there’s no shame in falling down on your knees
just always stand back up
so we can see each other again

come on, time to go
the new world is calling us
hey, don’t you see
we’ll always be there for each other
no matter how many seas separate us
don’t be afraid of what’s ahead
because don’t forget
We fight together

we’ve come a long way
from the days we looked up
at the high, spacious sky
never hurting one another
with each oath in our hearts
we won’t lose ourselves
to the burdens we carry

the rising sun
even shines on our pain
I believe
that someday, the future will make us one
let’s go find it together
you are irreplaceable to me
so don’t forget
We fight together

life goes on

don’t forget
we fight together

I just like how their opening songs are so meaningful and so connected to the plot. The crew will be training individually before they gather again to enter the new world era fighting together.

Maybe its a bit late to some, but it will be a new start for me in JC from now onwards. I realised i get very tied down by the past that i neglect the current and future. I feel that its very hard for me to open up to new things cus of the past. Like i dun really feel like making new friends cus of old friends. But now i am gonna try. I will put everything intangible except knowledge, friendship and family aside and start again to go beyond the limitations that I previously had. Hopefully its the right thing to do and since Gin did the same for Matsumoto i shud try it. LOL

(this is a very long post...)

Hehheh. Dun noe why but i tot of this blog which i have not touched for so long. Maybe it's the June hols so I have more time to think of such things. Hmm let's see, the last time I posted was about One piece opening song and it was dated december 2010. Time does fly and now it is June hols already. I guess everyone is just as busy in JC that we do not realise that one quarter of our JC life is gone. Haha

JC life is kinda hectic. After reaching school, students will go to their class benches. People doing work, sleeping and talking are some of the common sights that you can see. After flag raising it would be classes where students walk here and there for lectures and tutorials. When it's break, people would go to the canteen or fishtank to eat. On the way, to and fro, the canteen, you would walk past the central plaza and see people playing Frisbee and volleyball. After the meal, people would go back to the CT benches to wait for the break to end. Another interesting point is that poeple like to buy teh bing in JC. Haha, looks like they need some caffeine to keep them going for the rest of the day. After lessons, people would rush off to CCAs or go back to CT benches to continue to do work or play cards. Those usual faces would be seen playing frisbee and volleyball again in the central plaza. This marks the end of a typical school day and the whole process is repeated the next day. Boring rite? Eh but surprisingly it has been a few months and I dun feel anything.

Just before the end of the JC road, it will be the dauting A-levels. It is the most feared exam for JC students as it would determine a lot for their future. As such, people are working hard to ensure their future will turn out to be what they would want. There are some who would not turn up for CCAs and events (be it class, fac or school) for some reasons. Then the other school of people would label them as muggers who complete all their work on time. To be honest, I may have been one of them (but i was just joking cus i dun noe if they are genuinely busy or they are really studying at home instead). Lol. Indeed, results are crap. But they are important crap. It is something that we must sadly all have today. You may think differently. Yes there are exceptions. But exceptions means it is not the majority. So dun be a retard and mug appropriately. There are times when we shud be studying, and there are times when we shud be playing. If you want to obtain good results then work for it, but do not forget to enjoy your JC life as the short remaining 1.5 years will come to and end before you noe it. For the past few years, I have been wondering around aimlessly, not achieving much at the end of each year. Btw I think facebook is the most time wasting thing ever. I can continue reading the newsfeed and stalk people forever and gain absolutely nothing from it. LOL. Let's hope that my ideal JC life will remain clear and i will stay motivated to live through it so that at the end of the day, I noe that I have spent 2 meaningful years in JC. Lol (:

Nice One Piece Opening.
PS: Luffy so damn pro, straw hat pirates so damn cool

I am BACK. Spent one week in Malaysia, quite fun la but it was one week with no anime. But my ipod lasted me for the whole week without charging (:

Dec already and I still have not decided on the subjects to take in JC. Bio or Physics? Physics can do a lot of things, but bio fun and nice to mug. Damn. Looks like we need to help out in Flag day this year. Wonder how many people would turn up =.= Oh and I still have not decided on what CCA to take in JC also, cant seem to do much with a UG background =.= Lets just hope I can have a nice JC life.

Time for anime revenge. Btw I realised that I have not been watching a lot of movies lately. Feel like watching Harry Potter.

I remember about something you said long time ago. Last week, while watching a show, I saw the 1st part happen. Today, while I was watching the same show, I saw the 2nd part happen. They are both exactly what you said. This feeling, of how coincidental it is, is weird but at the same time, coooool. Haha
