Like I was reading just now and I can't remember a short sentence after a while and I think that it's because I'm not focused enough (I was watching tv while reading my textbook). I tried listening to piano music while reading textbook and guess what! It didn't work.. I tried taking down notes so that I will be able to remember what I've read and guess what! I ended up copying the exact same page on my textbook. I guess no matter what study "remedy" I tried, I still won't be able to study without focusing. 

It's quite sad that Christmas Day and New Year are already over. I wish I could have a more longer holiday like what I used to have when I was in secondary/high school where we are able to have two to three months of holiday and we also do not have to study anything because there are new stuff to learn the following year. But, as kids, we have no choice but to keep on studying because this is for our future and we can't do anything out there without diplomas or certificates and it's rare to be a dropout millionaire like Mark Zuckerberg (if I spelled correctly) and Bill Gates.

The amount of stuff I need to check.

I'm so bad at soldering

I'm writing about this crazy habit of mine regarding anime. I've spent most of my holidays watching anime, not my whole holiday but most of the days. I've been particularly addicted to this anime known as "Seven Deadly Sins". This anime is about some medieval age thingy, Seven people who were banished from the so called "Holy Knight" because of their since thus, forming the seven deadly sins. I'm quite frustrated that there are no new episodes this week and I was really looking forward to it since last week. Hopefully they put the new episode up by end of this week if not I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Here is the cover of the first "Seven Deadly Sins" manga (Photo courtesy by: Google Images)

Then there's this cartoon which is also loved by everyone (most probably) and it is "Adventure Time" ! I'm not sure why iTo just that there's this weird attachment I have towards this cartoon. It's nice how the cartoon mixes positive vibes and comedy together it just never fails to amaze me somehow. It usually airs on Cartoon Network but I usually watch it online since I don't have Cartoon Network channel, and I'm so addicted to it that I have to watch it every night before I sleep or when I am not doing anything or when I'm bored.

Here is a promotional banner of Adventure Time that I took from a random pop up advert.

Anime isn't really that bad. It's a form of art that needs to be appreciated!

The Internet and the Singaporean netizens has been boggled with a filipino guy who posted bad stuff online about Singaporeans, and what's worst is that he is in our own country! I was a foreigner before but I did not behave that way because I was thankful for the opportunities to study in this country and I love the people here in Singapore and the culture, and the food especially! I was like thinking, what in the name of hell was wrong with him? Singapore is giving him an opportunity to work with good pay and good boss/employer unlike other oversea countries. I've done abit of research and found out that he works at one of Singapore's most renowned hospital which is Tan Tock Seng Hospital as a nurse.. As a nurse! (If I'm not wrong).

He has also claimed that his Facebook account was hacked which I think is not really possible in this case. If his account was hacked, there should be some kind of proof that his account was hacked and not just some excuse but again, it could also be possible that his account was hacked. No one really knows. I'm not against anyone, just that it's disheartening and sad to see people who are not appreciating the opportunities and good life they are given. 

This is not the first time that this has happened. Many foreigners has also voiced out their anger towards Singaporeans online and this has to stop! You are in Singapore because you need good job/education, so stop complaining too much and just be happy!

It looks normal but it's really sore.

In the afternoon, I was was supposed to do some homework but decided not too as I was too lazy, as usual. So what better thing to do than to go to Twitter and look at my timeline! For those who do not know, I have to constantly change my Twitter trend list to either worldwide trends, Philippines trends or USA trends because the ones I'm at is the Singapore trends and it's way filled with Korean trends almost every single day! It's like the whole trend list is filled with Kpop and almost not a single thing about Singapore! I'm not against that it's just that there should be some space for those who don't know what Kpop is or those who are not fans of Kpop and don't mistake me! I'm a big fan of Kpop especially Girls Generation and 2NE1.

Here is a double screenshot of Singapore Twitter trends taken from my phone and 1/2 of it is about stuff I don't know sadly.

With one more week left till school reopens, I'm really feeling super sick (as in homesick!) and I do not want to go to school but at the same time, I also want to go to school since it's so boring staying at home these past few days.

Everyone had a fun time celebrating the approach to 2015 last night and I was like.. Yeah, just slacking around. I'm not sure why I don't fell the "New Year vibes" anymore. It's starting to feel like it's just a normal day to me, oh no! I felt the same way with Christmas Day! Maybe it's because I'm facing some problems now? Or maybe I'm just too stressed? I'm really not sure. But I sure felt some kind of joy inside me bouncing, just that it's not that big enough. 

Today, well, I didn't really celebrate my birthday (as usual). I would usually have like meals with family during my birthday and have my mom cook spaghetti and cheese sticks but sadly, that did not happen today. Instead, it was postponed to Sunday! (I'm just looking forward to the spaghetti that's all). Recieving birthday wishes from friends and close relatives also enlightened me a lot today and that's really unexpected Cuz I usually won't recieve any greetings from non-family members before. Turning 18 really doesn't change anything much I guess. Just that you are able to do more stuff like, take a driving license and watch an M18 movie that's all, and it's quite interesting too!

Hope you guys had a fun New Year and enjoy your 2015 guys and let this year be an enjoyable one!

Here's me when I was 16 and now when I'm 18!

I'm very thankful to everyone whose been out there supporting me and accepting my annoying behavior and to those who were there when I was having a rough time. I've seen people go through rough times as well but everyone will try their very best to help the ones in need. There's one thing that we should not forget as we approach 2015 and that is to continue to be kind and helpful to one another.

Before the year ends, we should take time to pray for the victims of the "plane accidents" that happened this year. I give my condolences to those who lost their families onboard the planes MH730, the plane that was shot down and to QZ8501. Everyone should appreciate the days that we have with our families and to never ever leave them alone.

That's all of the stuff that I wanted to say before the year ends. I do not want to end this post on a sad note so I am wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and also a Happy Advanced Birthday! To me..

And I will pray for QZ8501 and its passengers. 

2014 has been a really great year for most of us and it could also be the worst year for some of us. During this year, nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence were leaked online and I think that this incident is a really serious offence and it is a disgrace to women. However, people were very much concerned for Jennifer Lawrence. Hmmm, hopefully those sickos out there go get themselves a girlfriend instead of admiring her nudes. So, just a simple warning about snapchat. If you're gonna be sending nudes,  please don't do it online! (I'm not saying you should send nudes. Sending nudes is wrong!) 

Oh and how could I almost forgot! The flappy bird craze and the Five Night At Freddy's game. These two games basically dominated like.. The whole of 2014? With flappy bird being released on February 2014, everyone got so addicted to the game (including me and my friends). Everyone was addicted that people starting smashing their phones/tablets once they lost a streak. This was, however, incredibly entertaining for me as I get to see the videos uploaded on YouTube about people's reactions upon losing a winning streak in flappy bird. Next is Five Nights at Freddy's. Now tell me, who would forget the times where your brain was running frantic just to survive the night in the game? I have a friend who was totally addicted to this game for a period of three to four months! (I think). I must say the game was also quite addictive and a also played it a few times. 

Hmmm, what about he ice bucket challenge? I'm sure that no one will forget that unique way of giving to charity! The ice bucket challenge was like a virus and it spread throughout the world in just a flick (Note: the ice bucket challenge it's not a virus). Normal people even celebrities got into the activity by accepting the challenge which they were nominated for. I must say the one who invented this charitable challenge idea is pretty smart. 

I'm quite exhausted today after not having enough sleep in the morning and I'm about to go do that now. Do keep a look out for my next post which will be the last part of "Before 2014 Ends" and as we are nearly approaching 2015 (in 2-3 days), do go out more with your families and appreciate the time you have with them!
