Chasing After Rainbows

TheJapanesePage.com - Useful tips on the Japanese language. A few years ago (around the year 2003), I became interested in the language. Even more so recently. (more about that at the bottom). Anyway, on a not-so unrelated note, an article on "The Sunday Times" (Singapore) on 30 June 2006 state that among those surveyed, 56% of the people in Singapore would like to emigrate and 4 in 5 would like to work overseas. (The following is copied directly from my YouTube profile ) This year, I am preparing for my GCE "O-Level" examinations which starts in October (the prelims is in September, oral in July/August). So I might spend most of my time revising and not have time for other things, including going to the internet. 140. I do understand some Mandarin Chinese, though to a certent extent. As for japanese, I can recognise most kana and some kanji characters. (eg. 今,日,水,私,北,時 and so on) The excite.co.jp translator (the one i am using, one example is the text on the chann...

I'm new to blogging in general and I normally don't type much (mainly because I don't know what to type). I don't really have anything specific to put here. So I might put random things like school to a particular anime. Below are blogs from my MSN Spaces (in reverse Chronological order): School carnival - 14 July 2006 16:03:54 On 15 July, there will be a carnival at my school. The thing is that everyone has to go and it lasts from 7:45am till 2pm. Not sure what to do there. (entering this from one of the auditorium room at Temasek Polytechnic) School - 25 June 2006 13:28:17 (i am entering this from the 17th floor of the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh) the new term is starting tomorrow. Since i am in Secondary 5, that would mean heavy revision of subjects until sometime before the actual o level around November. Too much things to study. (i scored an F9 on most of my subjects.) YouTube videos - 22 June 2006 13:12:16 I have recently (well 2 weeks before this post) created a YouTu...

(originally posted at 25 August 2008, 4:34PM) I was watching a variety show on TV when I saw a news flash that one of the world trade center towers in New York had been struck by airplane and is on fire. I saw the live footage and there was indeed an airplane that had crashed into the building with thick smoke, at about 3/4 of the total height. People were running all over the place, screaming. Firemen and the police were already there, helping people to escape. Not long after, another airplane hit the identical tower next to it. Now, there was more chaos. I even notice people jumping out from the upper levels. It seems that by now, almost all the channels are either showing the footage, discussing about it, or interviewing relatives of people that might have been affected. Sometime later, the tower that was struck first collapsed. Since it was one of the tallest buildings in New York, there were a lot of dust in the area, remains of the collapsed building and possible countless numbe...

(Original date of this post: 25 August 2008, 4:28PM) Today is the day I entered primary school. My parents took pictures of me before sending me onto the school bus. At school, it was crowded and filled with parents. Some of the kids were crying about not wanting to go to school. I wonder if I would be alright....

(Original date of this post is 25 August 2008, 4:24PM) It's night. My parents carried me on their shoulders through the shopping area between the train station and my house. The loud noise as the shops closed was so scary that I cried.

(Actual date of this post is 25 August 2008, 4:12PM) ( this post is somewhat related) I could only see the darkness surrounding me and could barely move. Even though there is some light, it's quite faint. I don't have any idea what is going on around me or what happened earlier, but I have some vision of someone waving at a man as he walks away.
