I was actually tired.
Been busy these few days.
But, I just have to do a quick update!

Alesana is coming to Singapore, finally!!
This is like...a dream come true!
I actually knew about this 3 weeks ago. But I didn't really have high hopes (didn't think that it was confirmed).
And yes, Alesana has updated their Myspace with new tour dates!
Don't think it'll be held in one of our big performing areas here- since from what I know, our hardcore/screamo scene here is not so big. Nevertheless, they are coming!

Just hoping that other than playing from The Emptiness, they would do some Where Myth Fades to Legend, as well as reviving some good Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax.

16 September, Live in Singapore!

Thank you very much!!
Just some news/updates/emergency information to take note of, in Japan.
Refer Time Out Tokyo
Thank god for live stream on BBC News-I can follow news updates in Japan.
Hoping friends and their families, who are in Japan, to stay safe.
Work is good. Nice & funny colleagues.

My colleagues and I are such workaholics!
We kept asking for emails to be transferred to our folders so that we can draft/reply them! We have almost zilch energy when we have nothing to do. But once the sieving of emails starts, and we get our share of emails to reply, the zeal will be back.

Anyway, people say working requires a lot of energy and that makes you slim down (or perhaps, there isn't time to eat)! But no! I would say it probably makes me gain weight. Because when I feel lethargic, I munch on snacks. And during lunch time, I always have the urge to buy biscuits etc. back to office for 'After-Lunch Snack' (And that's because I have a colleague who tempt me to buy as well. We get excited when we see cheap and nice cookies at Cheers, banana fritters sold at the hawker centres etc.)

Snacking makes me...happy.
Think I am going to buy more snacks, soon.
The results are out.
I totally did badly for H2s.
But why am I this sad? I have already seen this coming, right? Since... I was in J1.
I am totally not a Science person. Should have followed my gut feeling/passion and get into the Arts, rather than analysing what was more safe (cos the Science subjects are what we have learnt before). I would have taken CSE/History/Econs for H2s.
Anyway, perhaps I should be more positive. At least I passed all, right? Compared to my entire J2 life, practically failed the H2s or in 'better' cases- just passed.

Lessons learnt:
1. Always choose what you are most comfortable with, not what you are 'somewhat' familiar with.
2. Even if you did not fail the subjects in J1, thinking that you could do well for the A' Level by being hardworking, together with high/mid-high level of self-discipline WOULD NOT help. If you have no interests, no level of commitment will allow you to produce good results.
I've started on a proper job!
Hmm, yeah!(?)
I work long hours (quite), which makes my body ache. Though I haven't started on proper work yet, just training.
Haha, I think that's because I've gotten used to staying up really late, getting up really late, taking two meals a day, watching videos all day long and taking life slow and easy.
Now, I'm one of your office workers. Waking up really early to take public transport and trying to squeeze myself into the train during the morning rush hour (Finally experienced what is meant by rush hour!) And, taking the train back home during rush hour again!

Oh yes, I have made new friends, met old friends and found new places to eat (the other 'older' temps brought us around).

I totally feel like an...office worker.
