どらえもん！
heh actually didn't mean to type it but my japanese keyboard was on!
and yah actually doraemon is a great way to revise jap!!! ^_^
anyway another thing about that video is that it awakened this fascination in me about dance! not in the im-going-to-start-dancing-for-real kind of thing but the whole idea of it as expression

actually bernice have you heard of deaf poetry? i think it borders on 'dance' in the sense of expression-through-movement... i watched this short clip showing some deaf poets, and their poems are conceived of in sign language but it's not so straightforward ... anw

it's been raining almost everyday here now

it's hard to teach english actually... all those noun phrases or clauses or whatever... and it's hard to be a banker. not to mention rather intimidating and spiritually unrewarding. and it's hard to be a web administrator.

if i could cry easily i would be an actress! but the acting world is scary. actually i tihnk if i can't make up my mind ill be an air stewardess! but i think it might be too tiring. oh shut up.

anyway bernice are ur exams over? what are your exams like man?

kat is supposedly in singapore! but she hasn't updated her blog (or this one) so im not so sure about her whereabouts

yilin's in cheena, mingen's working in sentosa (although i wonder how, in this dratted weather)

lj's studying haruki murakami's hardboiled egg something.. the title of which sounds so interesting i want to read it but am only holding back because i have lingering suspicions about translated works

charmaine's nowhere to be found, she didn't reply my email so i guess she's busy. and she hasn't blogged right!

mak's in taiwan.

according to the wi/ki, haruki murakami opened his own jazz bar after uni and wrote his first book at 29 after watching a baseball match. sounds so boho.
=)

actually i'd like the little cafes featured in:

拝啓、父上様

which also features the cute little boy who acted in Stand Up! (which we tried to watch unsuccessfully at mak's house -- i have the VCDs now!)

actually it'd be quite fun making LOL-ROFL-type dramas like Stand Up!, which manages the Channel 8 proselytizing/moralizing role a bit more coolly and stylishly haha
i wonder, is it really because singapore's too small?!?! i mean just look at the cast for Stand Up!, which is one of the japanese equivalent of average 7 or 9-oclock shows in singapore. the main actor goes on to star in some hollywood show, a supporting member does shakespeare on stage, another is handpicked to star in some TV ad with the b/eck/hams, and the other one, i m not so sure, but i spotted his poster in my sister's bedroom. so like, all these teen actors have been in the biz since they were 10 or smth. and if you've watched it about 3/4 times over, (like i have) u realise that actually they pretty darn good actors, even if it's a silly (but funny!) show. and the script, and everything.

strange thing to muse over. oh well.

i know what i'll work as! i'll go be one of those people who buy pack lunches on movie/tv drama sets. ha ha ha. maybe after i do some shitty manual labour like that, and see enough of what goes on behind that fantastical tinseltowny reality ill stop being dreamy and fangirly and crAzy blahblahbalh

study!!!!! to chase away those guilt-sprites
