I just got Vocaloid 2 today! It's a voice synthesizer program that allows you to input characters in certain notes and the program will sing it for you! The version that I got was Hatsune Miku, so she can only sing Japanese characters, but that doesn't really matter for me =) Vocaloid 2 is an interesting program, but the interface is tedious and confusing, especially if you're not using a Japanese language computer (everything comes out as ????) I did a very weird thing with it today and made Miku sing Singapore's National Anthem! No music though xD
Anyway, I've successfully burned a copy of Gradius V yesterday! The graphics are much better than last time's and the gameplay is equally hard O_O
I've also burned a copy of Persona 3 Fes so I can find out what the true ending really is! Also, you can play as either the Main Character (Arisato Minato, for my case) and Aegis! It's all in Japanese though, and there's no know when the American version will come out.
Keita always says I'm lovesick because I think about Aly so much, but can't be blamed. I really do miss her and since she's in USA now, the only way to talk to her is via MSN and she just went offline. Mr. Three Weeks, please go away soon......

Well, Aly's flown off to America for three weeks. After seeing her off I was trying my hardest not to cry at all. I guess that will come to no avail because I can feel that my tears are coming out soon...I guess I'll let it all out after my whole family's asleep. I won't want them to see my swollen eyes...haha...
Aly asked me if I want anything for Christmas. I told her I want this, I want that, etc, but those are just merely "wants". It should be corrected to "What do I NEED for Christmas?" The answer is really really simple: I need her to come back to me safe and sound and tell me that she's alright...that is, and will be, my wish for every Christmas so long as we're around in this world...
Anyway, it looks like I'll be able to continue singing again! Someone by the name of BGCFAN sent me 2 songs for me to sing. One of them is called "Brothers" from Fullmetal Alchemist, which is also the song you're listening to in this blog, only that it will be the English version. I've sung it a few times just now, but it didn't come out well, and there are some times where I almost cried. The lyrics are just so....well...nice...
Alright fine, I'm being emo now...I really miss her a lot...I hope nothing happens to her...
...how I wish 3 weeks pass by quickly so I won't have to suffer...

Today didn't really start with a rain, but it did rain at night.
Today was THE day: Scriptwriting Essentials Presentation for the corporate video. My group was doing on the Singapore Season which would be held in New York (I'm not too sure if it's true though). I was so worried before our turn, I went to the toilet twice. Yeah my stomach gets groggy when I get really nervous. I guess you can call that "having butterflies in your stomach"? Haha.
Anyway, the presentation went kinda okay, but what really had be worried was the Q&A session. I was afraid that I would screw up. Thank goodness I didn't though, but something made me Facepalm more than once. That Ivan said a lot of things (something that's really out of the norm), 70% of which didn't make sense. I mean, Singapore Season is an event that promotes Singapore's artistic aspects, so why would we wanna include things like low crime rate and housing in Singapore? That's not all. What really made me Facepalm and banged my head against the wall was the 2 words that he always uses to "cut tension".
"Never mind."
Yes, those were the 2 words. It's so anti-climax that everyone just groaned!
The presentations were really long and in the end, we were only let off at 4.40pm, 1 and a half hours later than our scheduled 3pm! I was really hungry and tired by then, so I went to have lunch with Benjamin. I admit that that was my second plate of Chicken Cutlet. I really couldn't help it...there weren't any good looking food at the Chinese Food store...
Anyway after lunch, I went to the audio room to start working on our final assignment. The video quality wasn't really good, so we had to compromise. There were some issues during the time we were working on the assignment, but I won't go into that. (Sorry Joshua)
I came to a realisation today: For a friend you gain, you lose another. This occurred to me when I was taking the bus home. I won't talk much about it, but yeah, that's what I understood.
And yeah, it rained when I was walking home, in the exact same way as the time I walked home on a bad day, only that I didn't feel bad or anything. The bottom of my jeans and my shoes were completely soaked.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say something important. A few days back, my chinchilla Yuan Yuan injured her left leg and she's still on the road to recovery. On the day I saw her leg, I was like "Oh my god". A portion of her feet had the skin holding the fur completely scraped off. It pains me just to see that. Imagine your skin coming off. Ouch. I hope she recovers quickly...

Yes, I know it's been a hell long time since I've updated my blog, and I have absolutely no idea why I updated it. This blog, if you see at the time, is supposed to be yesterday's entry, but it doesn't matter.
Today wasn't a good day for me. Things have been happening left, right and centre for me and it's really unbearable. Firstly, Grace messaged me and told me that her dad wanted her to go for some Japanese class, and because of the potential clashing of times, may not be able to work part-time along with me.
BOOM. One hope dashed.
Secondly, Aliyana called me and told me that Vicki couldn't make it tomorrow for the radio recording. I was so looking forward to it, too.
DOUBLE BOOM. Another hope gone.
Thirdly, I was also looking forward to tomorrow's outing, which had to be cancelled last minute because everyone was busy. In the end I might have to go out with Aliyana alone. It may sound like a good thing, but not when anything is planned. No, not at all.
BIG BOOM. My life is miserable.
Maybe these things may seem trivial to many, but for those who understand me well enough (which I'm sure is a complete zero), I hate things that happen last minute because it creates a lot of trouble for people. I don't like it.
