It was amusing. Yes it was. Mmmm... maybe not really. But at least I'm very happy. What is? The Japanese skit we did on Tuesday. Mine was plain. We didn't have enough people to begin with. We were supposed to be in a group of 3 and make a 15-lines-per-person drama. Of course, people got creative and did a lot of interesting scenes. I was just with another guy (cause I signed up late and we were left with only the 2 of us), and we only did introduction to each other & describing our apartments. How boring. However, it turned out to be unexpectedly fine. All the other groups had fancy preparations (drew pictures on the board, brought handdrawn sketches of rooms, etc) while doing theirs. These are the 5 criteria of which we were graded: expression (grammar, vocabulary, etc), memorization, preparation, content (originality, script, etc), presentation. Each criteria is worth 2 points, for a total of 10 points altogether. Now, most people with their fancy scripts have one minus: they couldn't memorize their scripts cause it was too complicated for them. Not too mention other factors such as being non Asian (therefore it's hard for them to pronounce the words correctly cause the tongue is different to begin with ^^;;; And yes, that is my advantage of being an Asian, and of course for liking anime so that I'm more familiar with the intonations & pronunciation :D). I've also memorized the scripts half way. Oh, I forgot to mention, the other people can act very well. And it's obvious that I can't act at all. I'm not a good actress, nor does my partner... even he didn't give any expression at all >_< I was afraid as to what score the sensei was going to give us, but I was surprised indeed when I got mine: perfect 10 points for individual score and 9.5 for group score *dances happily* :D You see, in the end, it doesn't need a great script nor fancy things. Taken as a whole, being able to pronounce Japanese correctly (with perfect grammar & vocab, of course) is the most important thing, in my opinion. I'm so happy cause I know most people (with the fancy scripts & all that) got around 7 or 8 cause they didn't memorize the script. My partner also got an 8 cause he didn't memorize it. Funny thing is, I glanced at the scripts a couple of times but apparently the sensei didn't really notice cause I was facing the other way so she was in my back. Heh heh heh *evil laughs* XD
I'm going to join you as late as the end of this week for sure, Vern! O_O;;;; I've finally caught you online today *is happy* Lookie, I have a new name from Vern: Elyse the vampire.. mwahahaha *is trying to scare people away...... and fails quite nicely* ^_^x

-----------» music of the mind : mahou tsukai tai - mata ashita
*is humming along with the soft & calming song*
Mahou Tsukai Tai OAV is so short... 6 episodes only -_-; I like it though, especially the ending song. I hope the TV series will become available soon, at least from the fansubbers.
I've been hearing someone practising guitar that comes from above my apartment unit... For some reason it's nice to hear the sound of guitar, it's calming and keeping me company in the middle of the night ^.~

I love your new layout, Alexa :D You love Pearl Jam too much ^^;; It's very nice and actually Vitalogy is a good title. Your sleeping pattern is very proper it seems, cause I never see you online around 7-8 pm my place (1-2 am your place) anymore. Hopefully I'll be able to see you on weekends, since I have classes at the perfect time to catch you on weekdays ~_~;; You know, Alexa, I know your diaryland link XD I think I've read some of the entries around 8 months ago when I first discovered your petals of clover site =P

I ate Tom Yum Goong for dinner 5 hours ago, but now my stomach is burning because of the hot & spicy soup (yes, I put too much hot oil and limejuice on it >_<). I want to make Tom Ka Gai for next time =9 Have to buy coconut milk before...
Suz, I envy you for being able to see those Japanese drama ~_~ Brian also said To Heart is good. I wish I didn't live in such a small town like this -_-;;;
Look look, I'm early today! ^.~ No more sleeping at 5 am today *laughs* Oyasumi nasai.
