My assignment has made me this:

Like Joe Hisaishi

Is Ryuichi Sokomoto Sakamoto

Now they're going to accompany me as I do my summary and essay plan and essay.

Here's my favourite of Ryuichi Sokomoto's.


The essence of it strongly resembles Joe Hisaishi's music.
There's something about this type of music that I find very appealing.

But I know one of things I like is that it's free of distractions/noise, unlike quite a lot of pop music these days, that use a lot of extra sounds to 'enrich' their music. - OK fine, maybe they're not noise - I just don't know how to appreciate them.

OK. NOW I'LL DO MY 35% of FINAL GRADE HOMEWORK!

Ironies 1-2

1.
There are Facebook friends I don't really know and sometimes hoped would delete me off their friends' list so that my friend list is less populated.
There are people I talked to quite a bit who I wanna keep linked in Facebook who surprisingly deleted me off their friend list, or deactivated their account - but more likely the former.

2.
Although this is a public blog, I kind of don't want most people to know about this place.
Because I think I didn't censor myself enough in some of the old blog posts.
I prefer to just let strangers stumble by, especially when they look for a specific peribahasa and end up seeing my blog post about my very lovable dog. Haha.

I was supposed to do my essay summary since 10am. Now it's 11.45 and I've only done 1 page. 16 pages to go. Ok. Bye!

It's OK. It's Chinese.

This post is unrelated to Chinese low-quality/ciplak stuff. It's related to the Chinese people.

During my clumsier days (I'd like to believe I'm more careful now.)
when my phone is dropped from a significant height / get knocked real hard,
no, I don't say OMG.
I say "It's OK. It's Nokia."

See video:



They may truly dominate the world economy with not only their human capital of intellectual capability, but also their physical resilience.

And I thought the video was a horror video when I first watched it.

Hypocrisy

I think we all tend to find others hypocritical sometimes.

But aren't we ourselves hypocritical sometimes too?
When we're not accountable to ourselves?

I think it's pretty understandable why it happens. Sometimes we don't realize how hypocritical we are.. until, OMG I was sooo hypocritical? I said we should blah-blah-blah and avoid la-la-la. And then I didn't do blah-blah-blah but ended up doing la-la-la?

I think 'hypocritical people' including myself, don't mean to be so when we are so.

We're all human, prone to make mistakes.
Sometimes we have the magnifying glass that allows us to see and act rightly.
Sometimes we forget to put that on, and under some circumstances, what's right was not seen.

So just forgive lah.
It's neh-mind lah.

Random thought of the day

Even if permitted to, do not borrow clothes that are of a brand you've never heard before.

That unknown brand just might be in a different class, so expensive that you are not even aware of its existence.
It might be a bit uncomfortable if you've projected yourself as not very rich but suddenly appear in that range of clothing.

Lesson learned: do not borrow without previous owner's direct permission/comments; unless you're an expert in all those high-end clothes.

It's better to just wear that less flattering t-shirt that you stupidly chose to bring.
It avoids the risk of accidentally giving false impressions.
