Hmm. I feel.. different and kinda weird.. Over-joyed i will say. Yes. I found myself smiling and laughing at everything, anything and nothing. So much so that i find myself quite amusing.
I realised that i got this very bad habit of being addicted to mangas during exam periods. I will just go to www.onemanga.com [if you dont already know, this is the site to get almost any english-translated manga you want], and aimlessly click on one series of manga and chiong from chapter one all the way to the latest chapter and get bored again. Then i go conquer another series. This is seriously a really dangerous bad habit and now i am still facing the drawback symptoms. x.X But i got to say that i chanced upon this very very nice manga!!!

Yupz!! Here is a very short intro [which doesnt really capture anything nice about the manga actually since it is so brief but nonetheless...]:
Sakura and Syaoran return, but they're not the people you know. Sakura is the princess of Clow - and possessor of a mysterious, misunderstood power that promises to change the world. Syaoran is her childhood friend and leader of the archaeological dig that took his father's life. They reside in an alternate reality... where whatever you least expect can happen - and does. When Sakura ventures to the dig site to declare her love for Syaoran, a puzzling symbol is uncovered - which triggers a remarkable quest. Now Syaoran embarks upon a desperate journey through other worlds-all in the name of saving Sakura.
Lots of really interesting themes and surprising twists, making the whole manga very pleasant and "sweet" to read. I got to say that the drawing is relatively good but it's the great storyline that pushes the reader on. =) Hmm. I guess there are not much manga-crazed guys, like me, in the people around me but do give this manga a go [if you have the time - perhaps after prelims/As?]. There are interesting themes about life/fate/love/etc if you get what i mean [those more philosophical stuff]. I guess that's why i love mangas, a platform where themes about friendship, love, etc can be infused with the fantasy and nice illustration. What's more about this manga is that it doesnt contain "ecchi" stuffs. [for those who know not that "ecchi" means, it meant suggestive [sexual] content] Most mangas now contain a little of such stuffs here and there to gain getter readership i guess. In fact, i dont think this is a unique trend in just mangas but i believe in novels as well. Perhaps there is an increasing trend of demand for perverted stuffs? LOLLER.. Alright. This is a little off topic... [even one piece, naruto, bleach contain a little of those stuffs!!] Yet, dont condemn manga just yet. Those stuffs are really not the focus, or rather, they should not be.. haha..

~hmm.. not exactly very happy expressions but aye.. nice manga =)
Ah! Having said so much, back to the issue about change.. I seriously wonder if there is anyone out there who is enjoying exams? Because this crazy guy right here is kinda enjoying it. It is not like i find the paper really easy or what [actually, it's the very very opposite], but i find myself getting really excited and happy about the exams!! So much so that i cannot comprehend it myself. =S I found myself going into the exam hall wanting to enjoy the paper. Gosh! HAhaha.. It kinda freaks me out but i feel so. Like i was telling danz, prelims is too near a future to be altered. I guess the only possible thing to be changed is A levels. Aye. Like i was saying, prelims is the last time that i can "postpone" good results. I thought that this form of expression is so apt. What i am trying to express is that when it was common test, i remembered saying that i must ace it. Results? Flopped. Really BADLY. So now was like.. Ok, now prelims must ACE! But then again, judging on the current situation, a little "errrr...". Yea. Familiar to you? So finally, A level will come. Hopefully, there will no longer be any "postponing" of good results.
As the days rolled by, and continue to roll pass, i suddenly [no idea since when] felt that "the end is drawing nearer". I am not exactly sure if i express it correctly because i am not sure myself. I am not exactly sure what "the end" refers too as well. Then the sudden "over-happiness" possessed me. Lots of laughter, lots of smiles. Well, it's not exactly bad but just feel different. As though some part of me snapped [like go bonkers]. I started doing crazy things... The day after maths paper 2 [which is the day before yesterday], reached home when no one's at home. I ran around [no one at home to see this crazy me] the house doing household chores happily [to prevent myself from using the computer - since i dont want to study, might as well do some useful stuffs]. Vacuumed and mopped the floor, washed up the plates, cleaned two toilets and do the laundries. No one realised what i did but it still felt great. Aye, it is time that i do more useful things other than getting nowhere despite focusing on studies. Come to think of it, schooling will officially end this year huh? I wonder if i am ready for what's to come...
I want to be able to support myself after i step out of JC and i wonder how i can go about doing it. I want to be independent enough and take up more responsibilities but i wonder if i am up to it or not. Yea. I got to start now. Perhaps, wash my own clothes, help with household chores, and take charge of my own life. To a certain extend, i wonder if this will result in me drifting off to be a loner, which i guess certain aspect of me inspire to be.. Doing everything by myself. I hope not. The future will bring what's to come. =) Hope that i can grow and mature in the right way, on the right path, in the right direction..
Quite desperate to source for a substitute for manga reading. Hence took on drawing. =) Someday i shall ran around the place with a painting kit and paint.. Someday.. Perhaps when i retire? Wow, that seemed like long time huh? I wonder if i will live even till then. Haha. Yes. Live each day meaningfully. Realised the power of a smile is really amazing. Realised that at the start of the year but forgot about this and was recently reminded again. Yes, i guess it's really nice that it's something contagious. Yet again, there are many types of smiles.. Check tsubasa.. It takes people close to you to figure out your true feelings which at times, you yourself cant decipher.
Yea.
Enjoy this beautifully sucky life!
=)
