Nah not going to reach 50 posts already... -GIVEN UP- 
I ADMIT THAT I DONT HAVE ENDURANCE lalalalala.

Add maths are frigging killing my brain cells. I spent the whole Christmas on my maths homework and yet was still unable to finish it. 

PT3 results sucks. For hell yeah. I was in total terrible form for the whole friggin term, what could I expect? The most terrible result I ever had and it was an important examination, what the hell. I am mad I am sad but tired as well. It was expected after all. I had no idea for my abnormalities. My guesses were the sudden change of format and slow to adapt the newest situation. And this friggin situation continues for the next two years. I can see where my future ends. Haha.

 Being emo for two weeks forced me into realizing that I wasn't always the top. I don't get good results just because I used to get them. I could fail. I am an average. This kinda thought never occurred to me for the past 15 years. I was being agnorant for so friggin long and I didn't notice it. I thought I had prepared like how I usually do, perhaps i did not. I wanted to get up and maybe I will. I dared not to say that I can get back for definite. That's really kinda how I face my PT3results. Yes I do admit I am really disappointed. But that disappointment wasn't from how many As I got but from the grim reminder of how terrible I did for the whole term. 

In my family, there's always this tradition to give money as a congratulation after you received your examination results. RM10 per A.  And yet they gave 100 even though I got 9 As. They said that I was 10As in their hearts. The extra 10 weighed their hopes for me. I should be glad for the extra money. But I hate the fact they were extras. Giving me more than I should , isn't that humilating me?  I know it was just a 5mark gap, but 5 marks were definitely not some careless mistake, they were the evidence of my incapability. I'm sorry that I am so friggin sensitive but it's not like I want to be. 

Anyway, this will be my lesson learnt from 2014.

A few months ago, bing recommended me a pretty great music app. Ttpod.

The best thing of all is, it's variety. 
I am more into Nico nico and anime soundtracks. The normal music app doesn't suit me.
But in ttpod, there's huge lot of what I want. I think it's because of the uploaders are mainly people from china. Nico nico and animes are not really popular in western countries I think.

However after a stupid update, they say that my IP address is not available. Due to some copyright thingy and china set up a ' wall ' blocking all users outside from china. I googled for help, but most of the answers were switching to airplane mode and stuff. The worst thing is, the airplane mode cannot work after my update! 

So seriously, don't simply update. bugs fixes = blocking you off.

And finally, I found one way! (I don't know about android )

Ttpod IP address restricted, iOS version.
1: settings-wifi-connect to wifi-click the connection
2:then you will see this

3: find HTTP PROXY at the bottom part, click 'Auto', then type http://yo.uku.im/proxy.pac into the URL bar.

4: quit your ttpod (double click the home button and push ttpod app up)

5: reopen, then TADA!

I got this solution from googling Chinese websites, so credits to them! I am just translating~

A trip to Hatyai, Thailand.

It was last weekend. Another perfect excuse for my short break from blogging, haha.

The place I most visited will be hatyai, definitely. I've been there for at least 10 times.
They were mostly 2 day 1 night stays or just pass by for a night or a breakfast.
Why? Because hatyai is a place where the food is delicious and things are cheap, and not to mention that it's near. Thailand is our neighboring country.

First of all, is the immigration centre. We go there by car. And the trouble is, we have to park our cars and walk down to the centre to get our passports chopped. And, for some unknown reasons, we have to pay 10baths every time you pass the border.

You should know how annoying is it to wake up from a long nap. And yet, we have another an hour and half to go after the immigration-meaning we can't just stay awake after that.

And the worst case is, the whole centre will be crowded during peak seasons like public holidays or weekend holidays. You will have to at least queue for half an hour or more. Not to mention that they only have about 6 counters serving for hundreds of people.

Car owners have to queue a second time for another thing which I am not very sure about since I am always the passenger.

After that, we will see a road block and will have to drive through a deserted (quite)  station. I have got no idea what is that for.

After countless of rubber plantations and Buddhist temples, we will eventually reach hatyai. Hatyai is actually not a state, if not mistaken. It is just a city in Songkhla.

Climate: usually hot, advised to wear long sleeves or apply sunblock.
During year ends, rainy season, remember to prepare an umbrella.

Places We will always go:
1-a dim sum ( Cantonese style breakfast?) restaurant which also offers bat kut teh ( pork's bone soup --if you translate it directly) the most special thing about the shop is deep fried Kuay Tiao. I can't really tell where it locates because the shop is pretty hidden, not beside the main road. Nevertheless, we can hardly find seats if we reach there late.

2- Hatyai floating market. Not as famous or big as the floating market at Bangkok, but it's not bad.
I like the deep fried thin potato slices the most. ( they don't look like potato chips) the slices are slightly thicker and definitely bigger.
And some of the boats sell drinks in a vase, and you can get the vase for free.

3- Lee garden : right in the middle of Hatyai and is usually bombed. ( the latter is not important haha)
It is a most visited shopping complex and the road stalls around it are a good place to shop. I don't always go in there but when I do, I buy myself a sundae from mcd.

And btw, you can see many people selling fake dicks everywhere, just beside the pathway and even on displaying. I walked with my parents so I tried real hard to suppress my laugh. They even had catalogues for sizes and shapes! 

Ordean : a super market. They sell cheap under garments and shampoos. Go to the second floor from the top, you can find a section which sells only discount items. They were mostly on 40% discounts. 

4- Lot terrace
Not in town, a river side but the food is nice, so are their decorations. They renovated the restaurant into a jungle. I recommend their tom yam, not too spicy ,  smells and tastes great. And don't go for their fried chicken, you find yourself chewing on baby chicks’s bones-no meat at all. They were open from 11-11. There are usually no customers for lunch. The last time I went, we were the first customers . Dinner is a different thing.

5- market
If you hate to be squeezed like sardines and can't stand the heat, do avoid this place. 
Here, you can find fruits, tidbits, clothing, etc. there's also a shop opposite the market selling cheap zebra brand cooking utensils. And if you happen to just stand by the roadside, toot toot drivers will offer you for a ride. 

6- a big Buddhist temple on a hill
Quite famous, you can have a view of whole hatyai city up there.

Took a week stopping? 
Well, can't blame me~
My wifi connection sucks like hell. Well, the TMnet people came just now and kinda fixed it(or no). 
Imagine holidays without wifi. I can only say, thank god I've got ebooks.
So, I just want to say, I'm back!!! 
And my goal of 50 posts this year end. I hope I could reach that.

And a random post of my cat who has grown longer. Not bigger.
He kept moving so they're blur...
 
This is just a post of my return---

Anime 

Since I've been seeing quite a lot this season. ( just, quite.)
I used AnimeUltima.tv to watch since this is one of those websites which are still available. That's why most of the animes I watched were just from the top rankings provided by that website.
I don't see many enough to give a ranking so I shan't give one. And I'm pretty picky on my animes.

 I've watched :
Log Horizon Season 2
I got a feeling like that they are more on Akatsuki's perspective view isn't it?  

Amagi brilliant park
Comedy anime, soft stuff. I like Kanie and Sento too. Nice characters, colorful art. Not to mention that Sento and the princess got quite high rankings in the most favourite female character group.

Trinity seven
I don't like this one. The main character doesn't get my liking, so as the female lead roles too. Boring. Since when do I find tsundere boring, I had no idea. I used to be tsundere-con. Too many fan service that i couldn't stand it. Plus, the colour can be well matched with log horizon's. Demon lords, just duh.

Nanatsu no taizai
I do wonder why are there two 'sevens' this season. Well, at least this is better than the other seven. Shounen, comedy but not too heavy type. I liked the backstory. And I do wish to see how pro will they be after retrieving their weapons back. Funny thing is, I thought that Ban's seiyuu was the same as matsuoka Rin from free!. I googled it and found out that ban's seiyuu is Makoto from Free!. Seriously I am shocked. And I noticed that I could finally recognize one seiyuu's voice! Yuki Kaji! Cheers and hooray. 

Kiseijuu/ parasyte
I bet this is one of the most populars ones. The not so good art became it's characteristic. The girls in the anime are drawn um..well. And I don't like shinichi's new hairstyle. Terrible! I want my nerdy four glasses shinichi back!!!! I've always thought that it would be a horror anime when I first see it's trailer from Animax. I liked the flow of the story. He doesn't like go too pro that fast. It's pretty relaxed but heavy sometimes? For some unknown reason, I actually liked Migi!!

Psycho pass season 2
Since I liked the season one so much, therefore this was a must. Kinda disappointed not to see Kougami. I wish he appeared soon!! Psycho pass always goes to the super heavy mood anime type. I couldn't watch it straight 9 eps. If I do so, I might get moody for the whole day. The new enemy kamui was even destructive than Makishima shogo for sure. Kamui is making more Makishima shogo. Truly creepy. I see that the new MC girl was pretty much hated. But I don't dislike her or hate her particularly.   Well, she did nothing wrong. She's just not as insane as Akane and more on obeying the rules strictly, not flexible kind. Ps. The opening theme song has the same singer with Tokyo Ghoul's OP unravel.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso / your lie in April 
When I first see the title, I was like it's friggin year end you know. Plus I bet in that world, all the trees must have gone extinct leaving only Sakura trees behind. Haha. The anime is colorful like how I liked it. The character design is nice, except for their too obvious lips. The main character is a bit too baby face as well. This anime is very detialed on thoughts and emotions. To me, and it's dragging the show.

Anime in consideration to watch : fate stay night: UBW( since it has got quite high rankings and they say it's different from the old one) , shirobako ( highly reccomended by many) , inou battle ( the description is one hell of boring, but the ranks were pretty high, I watched the first episode, and it didn't make me want to see the next. Should I give it another chance?) , Akatsuki no yona ( again, pretty high ranking )

Post #15

My friend asked me about how my holidays are going so I replied this to her email, I lazy to re type so I might as well copy n paste it.

---------
Wake up-iPad-breakfast-my new cat (lapsapmi which means dirty things)-anime-lunch-anime-drawing-cat-anime-MOBA(multiplayer online battle arena,DoTA like game) (if wifi allows)-dinner- tuition(if got)-anime-novels(perhaps)-blogging(if I remember) -sleep

Everyday I woke up at 10. I planned to wake up at 7 before the holidays, but just... Too lazy. Haha. And I planned to change my sleeping habit from 12 to 11 or even better 10. Now, it became 2... Sighs. 

I wanted to take up a sport or just exercise, which is interesting and i don't have to go out from my house and I can do it like anywhere I want. Pei jiin suggested dancing, like what Ching Ching has been doing. I looked up for dancing tutorials (break dance to be exact, I just clicked for the most viewed one) at YouTube and tried to learn. And I have to admit, I have zero talent on it and so I gave up after the first try. Teehee. So any other suggestions? Haha.

I even had this stupid idea of training 马甲线(I don't know how should I call it in English) ever since last year. Muscles beside your abs or something like that. Then,pei jiin mentioned that Ching Ching was training on it and I tried to do that again. And again of course I searched for ways at google and YouTube, and did it, but all the hell I get were arm pains, leg pains, neck pains and even knee pains. And seriously I think it didn't work at all, so I gave up ( again) on the next day. Actually, I wanted to ask Ching Ching on how she did it but I gave up on that idea of having abs at the first place. First thing, I don't see the need of training so hard just to admire on my belly on my own ( I'm not wearing a bikini or going to be a model ) second thing, if once I had it, that means I have to maintain it. So that just means = more training=more pain =more deadlines=more stress. And I concluded that for my own mental health in the future where more crazy subjects will be added and senior-year and plus sweet 16 year, I shall not do this kind of 吃力不讨好 Job.

Worst of all is, it had just been two weeks and I almost finished all my animes!! Not a surprise since I was like a 8 episode per day mode... I felt like I rested enough and ready to go. But go where? I dunno.
Second worst of all is, my tuitions never stopped... And there're even new ones like friggin hell. Currently, they are tues, weds,fri and sat. ( English, physics, chemi, add maths and art) starting from next year, my only free day will be Monday, and I have to attend two classes on Saturday.
I go to our school's CS Wong for physic and chemi, and first impression on him: tall, second: OMG he speaks so 娘! 
Third worst, pei jiin and I will have to go back to school at around middle of December. For PKK duty, and for the whole week each morning.

And sadly, my wifi was so terrible these days!! I can't play my MOBA game as usual, it will at least disconnect 2 times per game. I played Vainglory, new game this mid 2014, nice graphics, small map, less characters.  Bing saw me playing and she seemed disappointed, well yeah can't blame her after all, because all I do is RUN when the enemy comes. (Even if it means abandoning my teammate to die) LOL. Never die was kinda my motto. Well of course, if my health was pretty full and I had the higher chance of winning, I'll never run. It can be played on tablets only so yeah... Tell me if you're playing? Btw, I've tried to install another MOBA iPad game, which appears to be older, and my bad wifi is holding me back.

And another thing, I'm going to hatyai next Saturday. (The last time I went was like 1 year ago? Last time I used to go there for about twice each year, so... ) Pei jiin said she's going too around that time, I wondered if I could meet her there... 

Plus, I will be going with a bunch of kids! (Not really.) there sure will be fussy kids though. Just my father's friend's family.  And I wondered if there will be wifi, good one especially. Or else, I should just download one hell of ebooks to read during there.

This post is about HOW UNCOOL AM I, AND HOW NOT COOL I WANT TO BE. Went to a bar for like the first time.

At first we had dinner at oh sushi, straits quay. There were me, bing and Jen and our mothers as well.
We're trying to chat and some guy who sat with same table with us ( my mom's friend's son) just suddenly spoke:" aren't you guys going to introduce yourselves? "

We all stopped and stared at him awkwardly. Because for seriously, I took him as air. And I expected him to ignore us too. I mean this is how it always goes, isn't it.

Jen started introducing herself, and followed by bing and I do it half-heartedly, not even trying to make him remember him anyway. 

He looks like 18 or something. Wears a cap. ( I remember some scientific data said that people who wears a cap are weirdos,so I took him as one) and Typical guys are usually like, nah I wont speak to girls. Plus, I've been to a all girl's school for like 3 years, so truthfully speaking I have lost the ability to chat to males I don't know. And plus, we're different species.

It's like, after the introducing he asked who's the coolest guy in your school or who's the coolest girl in your school. Like hell I care. I'm definitely not the coolest, nor I do even tried to compare. Imma kinda nerdy girl who stays in the background reading my manga or watching my anime. I dun care. I dun make-up, hate malls and shopping or branded things and had no interest in boys.( btw, I've always been suspecting myself for being a lesbian, since many quizzes show that my brain somehow functions too manly) So,cool-people-get-the-hell-far-away-from-me, you're germs. After meeting that guy, I finally understand that I hate 'cool ' people, because I'm the opposite from them. 

He's actually the same age with us, I couldn't believe it. And, He's from a friggin international school, that's how he became so not typical. And so not me. I mean he's the kind who wears a cap, who shops a mall, who likes to do selfie, who likes to talk to girls? So, international school will definitely be a big hell no for me. I will die of suffocating!!!! AIR of GERMS!!!! I might buy a dozen of boxes of air refresher if I had to study in one hell school of that.

I've seen one post that shows two albums. One full of selfies, one full of anime pictures. And these two groups seemed to hate each other. IT IS EPIC TRUE.

He somehow forced us(me and bing, when Jen was onto her phone and got us kidnapped away by a man) to walk the mall with him. He mumbles and I can't hear a word of him speaking. Plus, I'm not quite comfortable in speaking English so, I ignored him the whole way. Even if I can finally understand him, I act as if I've heard nothing. (Ignore-cool-guys-mode ON) I was so bored. Walked through the mall about twice, and I couldn't remember which shop I've entered before. He kept talking to bing, and I was like NOooooT-INnnTTEERRrreeesttttedddd and walked a zombie. ( he said we're lifeless) and like hell I believed when he said he was worried about me. He said that I was shy, yeah perhaps. I don't like you that's it. It wasn't about his personality, he's carefree, cheerful and looks normal. It'just you're not the same being with me and I don't want to be friends with you. I can be so mean, isn't I?

Back to my first experience in my bar. I drank two glasses of Apple cider with 4.5% alcohol and it tasted like jolly shandy. Sweet and sour and bitter at the end, not bad. Jen was almost drunk, she got herself flushed. I was a bit not uncomfortable with my head but it didn't really affect me so I think I might be imagining it or something.

Btw, this is a long post.

My first physic and chemistry tuition

I've always said I liked physic than chemistry or biology. However, I'm not very sure.
Today, the things taught were not so hard, more of a repetition and deeper into what I'd learnt last year.
Physic could be a little more challenging than chemistry though.

I remembered that there' some topic about atoms, molecules and ions. The teacher told us that atoms are alone, molecules have two non-metals together, ions have two non and metals together. So I copied down, and wrote in brackets atoms( old lonely man), molecules ( BL--gay,boys love ) and ions (BG--normal, boy girl ). Then the next minute, he suddenly told us a way to remember them, and it was exactly what I just wrote!! I wondered for a second if he could read my mind.

The teacher kept saying Ok Da? He's a teacher from my school. He's the tallest of all in my school, about 180 I guess? Plus, he sounds pretty sissy.
Because I sat on the first row, my conversation with Patricia hardly lasted for 5 seconds. That's cruel!!

Btw, today's MAMA. My friend whom I carpool with said that he hate to miss it because of tuition. And I was more like, uh huh I had no idea that you're on the Korean side.

Im forcing myself to write something today. 

Evon introduced me to a karaoke app called smule sing or whatever it is. 

First, you have to choose a song out of four. And that song will be the only song you have, if you use it for free.  Mine is Grenade by Bruno Mars.

What's a free song for? 
You can choose either to solo, to have duet or a group sing with that song.

There will be lyrics, and in karaoke form. You can choose to have a guide, which there will be a piano right hand sound for you.

After recording, your singing will be given marks. Starting from 1000 I think. I don't know what's the maximum. Of course, you can replay the whole song and decide if you want save it or not.

If you save it, your recordings will be posted. 
If you recorded a duet or a group sing, people will find your recording and sing it with you.
Mostly your post will be shown for 7 days, if it's unpaid.
Likewise,you can find other people's recording to sing with them. This will always be free.

The choices of song are pretty wide I suppose so. Just that some of the pretty famous songs had to be bought or not found in there. For example, you can't find any of Taylor swift's songs.

The whole point is after recording I just finally realize that I have absolutely no talent in singing. I felt like dying every time I replayed. ARGH. It sucks.
