I'm very taken in by the world of Final Fantasy X (roman numeral 10, for the uninitiated). I've never played the game and doubt I will, but I think it's a very, very good piece of work. The music in it is beautiful, the relationship between the characters are so well developed and the storyline is deep and touching. I can't say much about the game play of course cos I haven't played it but the reviews were good so I guess there aren't any problems there. Spent quite alot of time watching all the cutscenes on youtube. Sad but hopeful ending to the whole story which set the pace for FFX-2, where a much happier ending brought the whole story full circle to a beautiful close. Tidus and Yuna truly share a touching relationship. These kind of things always end perfectly in games, movies and books. But of course, that's why games, movies and books sell. But still, the story of Final Fantasy X is indeed deeply stirring.

I suppose I incline easily to these kind of storylines. Which explains why I liked the His Dark Materials trilogy so much. Another happy yet heartbreaking ending. And the Time Traveler's Wife as well.

I should like to get to know another good story soon. It's easy to lose yourself in the stories you read as you try to see the world through the eyes of the characters in the plot. Almost always, of course, in stories things are too perfect to be true. But that's why they're nice.

I've got a very bad sore throat now and a fever and a cough and I'm sneezing and feel very cold all the time. Hope my masses of apples and water and orange juice today will have helped.

Met up with some S02 people yesterday and it was fun =) nice to see you're all doing allright. Next time we go sing songs and build a tent.

I have successfully scored the interval part of hui you na me yi tian, and am proceeding on to complete the song, as well as scoring yiruma's love mi. It's a beautiful melody. So is kiss the rain, please go to you tube and look them up. If I could see you again is another one I like. It's so much the wistful yet happily recalling memories kind of song.

AHS's piano is in better condition than I expected. Played it when I arrived early yesterday while waiting for S02. It's on permament muffle except for the high E. It's weird when I play a song and the high E keeps distinctly accenting itself. But it's in a pretty good condition for a public instrument.

I think I'll post more often these days.

I've lost considerable touch with the piano. Haven't been playing, and even when I have I'm not exactly there.

Recently realised I have nothing, for the most part, to do over weekends. I wake up, try to entertain myself around the house with the piano or xbox or even doing physics or just go out to some place to make it seem like I'm busy. Maybe soon when I enter university I'll appreciate this abundance of time.

I think I'm getting a sore throat.

Last month of NS is going to be busy. Alot of work suddenly appears to make it somewhat a bad parody of a final term exam. Arrows are shot left and right. Wenrong, handle the off records! Wenrong, duty for you! Wenrong, mega prosperity burger with curly fries and upsize coke light! Wenrong....................do everything.....!

Of course it isn't just mi, everyone's having a very messy time as well. We roll with the punches.

I wish I could do magic. Come on, who doesn't. But specifically, I wish I could time travel. The last book I read must be taking a serious toll on mi.

All the best to Wang You for your trip to Adelaide, may you land safely and enjoy yourself there! Take care, keep in touch =)

I've finished reading the Time Traveler's Wife....it's an unusual book, a little confusing and slightly draggy at times. It is also an extraordinarily beautiful story full of unconditional love, commitment, trust and devotion.....it was so sad at the end, though it wasn't as touching an ending as the Amber Spyglass....that was still the most emotional scene ever. But when I read the final chapter of the Time Traveler's Wife, it made mi think alot about what it would be like to be that way....that they were. But it was a very, very touching end to the story.

I am posting again today....nothing much to do. I've been listening to I See You, the Avatar's soundtrack over and over. It doesn't have all that much tune, but it seems a very beautiful song.

Just returned from anglican high, went there to smell the ashes of results day. I suppose the general mood was fine. Congratulations to all who did well, and a great job to all those who did better =) good job to all my CCA juniors as well especially POW, rachel, joshua and amanda =)

I am tearing myself into pieces worrying over something now. Oftentimes my worries are always unfounded, but I can't help it. I don't believe this. I always thought I wasn't the worrying sort. Maybe that aspect of mi only concerned my studies. Please let everything be allright.

It's a month to ORD and I feel nothing. I'm not the crazily can't wait to ORD sort so everyone please stop waving your hands at mi and yelling out those letters. What will come will come, and I take things slowly. I appreciate your jubilation but for what reason I don't know, I don't exactly share it.

I have not touched my piano for a long time. I love playing it so to mi, a week and a half is a very long time. My music sounds very detached from mi when I've got alot on my mind. Playing the piano was always my way of destressing myself and now even this ability has left mi. But now just please let my score for hui you na me yi tian be done soon.

Happy new year =) I am late I know was busy the last 2 days.

2009 was a very good year. Regardless of the rubbish I had to go through for various reasons, I am still very glad it passed the way it did, and I am especially grateful to God and the 2 people who made that possible. They are the only 2 people I enjoy talking to about army things, outside of army.

I'm not so much into making new year resolutions, and I don't know what I'd want to do anyway. Not that I'm trying to say I'm perfect, I just don't know. Maybe they're too many things I want to do, but don't know how to go about doing them.

I want to try to play Mozart's Sonata in D major for 2 pianos. It seems fun and a nice piece, really.
