Well, the mini break just ended. The break lasted five days long, from thursday till monday. It was a post-'exam' reward, perhaps a compensation (rather neat one), for the time wasted on the march holidays itself trying to study for the exam. Initially, I didn't like all that extra time, but of course, afterawhile, I get too attached to all that free time and now, I'm not willing to let go. Sob, so tommorow it's the usual 7am waking up time and the usual 5pm-at-my-gate thing.
It's been a while since I went on my all out 'all-nighter' using com, surfing net, watching shows. It's a very nostalgic and enjoyable feeling. To stay out at night when everyone is fast asleep, the silence, the ambience, that nocturnal feeling, as you relentlessly watch shows episode by episode, series by series like an owl (maybe thats why owls have big eyes?) I experienced that yesterday after so long (or rather, today morning). It was because I took a nap on sunday afternoon, and found it impossible to enter sleep last night.
Trying to get over the "nodame cantabile" addiction, and now moving on to a new drama (ironically, an old one that dates back to errr, maybe at least 5 years ago. Im not very sure though). "Long vacation", thats what they call it. I'm merely at episode 3, so I'll save my comments for later.
And yes, I finished that live action series twice, the anime twice and the manga spanning 110 chapters all in this mini break. I'm otaku-rizing. Gyabon!!
It's been, drama, then piano, then drama. then repeat and rinse. Been on this cycle for the entire 4 days. Going nuts soon. Realising Ive been practicing real hard, like about 4-5 hours on average per day. Exam pieces, then my own pieces, then random play from my etude book. I don't know if I should gasp, or I should laugh, or I should start seriously discouraging myself but I'm picking up revolutionary etude (again), and winter wind. Gyabon!!! i'm gonna kill myself. But it doesn't hurt to try right. Again, the usual 'forbidden fruit' feeling. Either way I'm just trying for fun, I don't expect any hints of perfection in it anyway (or even close).
And then I spend my night watching the local drama. Well, I would say it's mainly to create the "contrast effect". Jdrama, Kdrama or for whatever matter, any other overseas drama can pwn our local drama series hands down. Perhaps, it's not even in the same leauge. Though I find it fun to indulge in stupidity in our local drama, there's something missing. Perhaps evident in Singaporean culture too. It's too unglam, too ugly. And too, shallow. Everything is so emprical, no depth. It tries very hard to depict reality but fails in an unrealistic manner(irony), and too much sterotyping and extreme characters (for those who watch, you can understand what I mean). Boos to local drama, though it was fun, and light-hearted. But it still lack substance. (which says alot about our culture).
Back to school tommorow. Aww and what time is it again tommorow? 3 plus. Mukyaa!!
Last post with Gyabon and Myuka. I should stop imitating people. Not to mention, fictional characters. -.-
