久し振りだねえー！

It's been a while since I've actually paid a visit to theO, lol. I'm sure I've missed out on a lot on updates. I came here to apologise to you guys for, once again, going AWOL and for not commenting on your updates. みんなさんごめんね! >_<

Anyway, I've decided to leave a post telling you guys I'll be taking a break from here. I definitely need it... seeing as how I couldn't even find the opportunity to simply click on the link to theO *sighs*.

College has been extremely draining =( I believe I've said this a gazillion times without mentioning a single detail, lol. Here's one for a start: the phrase "finish your homework" no longer exists because assignments have no specific deadlines; teachers will go over the solutions regardless of whether we did them or not and it's our own loss if we don't. Every topic for every subject will contain one or more assignments, issued after lectures are done covering the theory section. A new assignment will always come before you finish the previous one. To put it in simpler terms: the flow is endless. If we lag behind on one topic, we have to face an uphill task of catching up or we'll be left behind forever. To make things worse, we have tests thrown in on random weeks =_=

We'll be taking the "A" Levels this coming November so they're teaching really fast to let us start revision ASAP. College here lasts for only 2 years and this is our graduating year. Imagine having to cram the entire syllabus within this time period, multiply that by the number of subjects we take, which is about 5 (we've cleared another 2 subjects in the first year, so it all adds up to 7).

School hours are pretty long too. It begins at 7.30 a.m. and ends at about 2.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. depending on the schedule. If we're engaged in co-curricular activities, we leave as late as 8 p.m. It's been like this since last year T-T Lectures and tutorials in the day and homework at night... our chill-off sessions are close to zero T-T If we lose the momentum, we fall behind. I wake up at 6 a.m. everyday and go to bed at, the earliest, 12 midnight and, at the latest, 3 a.m. (everyone in college has huge eyebags for a reason, lol).

Yep, so that's the gist of my daily routine. I'm so sorry again for having to miss out on your updates in the future =( I have a one-month break in June... which is really for the purpose of preparing for mid-year exams that'll start immediately after break's over... but I'm sure I can at least find the time to visit you guys ^^ Look forward till then!

Over these few months, my anime list has lengthened a little, lol. I leave the torrent download window open whenever I'm sleeping so I've accumulated quite a bit =P I watch them whenever I feel sleepy at night while doing assignments to keep myself awake, haha xD The list is up there in the intro section of this World.

Damn... I have a strong urge to rant about how much I love them but I don't have time! ARGH! D:<

Oh, and if you guys noticed, I added in a new hobby in the intro page ;) I've been into seiyuu for many years now, but recently it's turning into an obsession, hehe. My self-taught Japanese brought me a long way: I've started buying Seiyuu magazines and surfing Japanese websites =P Once I spot a Seiyuu mag, I'd recognise all those names in Kanji in an instant... someone please stop me @_@ My newfound favourite is Saiga Mitsuki. She's not only amazing as a seiyuu, but also an extraordinary singer (Congrats, Saiga-san! You've conquered my playlist). She sings even manlier than she talks, lol. Believe me on that one. IMO, her man-self beats even that of Paku Romi, Minagawa Junko, Kobayashi Sanae and... EVERYONE ELSE! See her anime roles here.

... I think I should start a Seiyuu fanclub on theO... WHEN I HAVE TIME!

Ahem... anyway, I'll probably continue writing the ~MEMOIRS~ posts about my past events later on in June. I hope you guys are doing well. Until next time!

Erm... I don't usually demand for comments or anything, but it puts me at ease to know that you guys have been notified of my absence, so I'd appreciate it if you can leave just a simple indication that you've read this post. It can be a one-word comment for all I care, I just need a sign =) Thanks a lot!

P.S. To john3:16- Happy Belated Birthday! I just saw the alert thingy today when I visited theO... sorry for being late! I hope you've received the gift. Thanks for being such a good friend for all these years we've known each other! *hugs*

(And I apologise if this post appeared twice on your update tracker ^^; I accidentally pasted this to "Add Post" instead of "Modify Post" while editing, sorry!)
