Back from another rough week




Hey all!!
Back to do an update with 3 songs that have been stuck in my head :)
The first is R U Crazy by Conor Maynard.
I honestly didnt think this song would be from him so I was really shocked when I saw the MV for this song on TV. I liked it as it was frequently on the radio but I also dont seem to hear who sang it.
But either way the lyrics and the beat are good and the chorus just really sticks to me head.

The second is Pakistan by Mayhem X Antiserum. I rarely listen to Trap music and its even rare for me to listen to a Trap song till the end but this one is really good. I don't know the beat and the use of the effects just really draws me in..Its like it has this 'Swag' feel (excuse my use of modern language).

The third song is Great Escape by Cinema Staff!! I am so happy that the 2nd ending theme for Attack of Titan was by cinema staff!! I have listened to their songs before I realised they were used in the currently famous anime and their songs are really good. The lyrics and their songs kind of mix an indie and rock feel together. Theres  this light feeling in their music though its rock. To me, its very japanese (dont ask me to try and explain it..its kinda hard)

So yeap theres my weekend recommendation!!
This week for me was really tiring and stressful so I am glad its the weekend.
Really, if this is going to continue for the next whole sem I would rather just die.
The awkwardness, The sadness, The frustration,
All this emotion just came to me as each day passed.
Many times as I sat in class I asked myself
"What am I doing here?"
This became more often after I was asked the question "What do you like to do/What do you want to do in the future?" by my Portfolio supervisor.
I came into this course because I had no other place to go
and now I am at a dead end to find something I like.
Did I really choose the right path?
All these thoughts was what I struggled with the past week.

Hopefully as time passes things will be better.
Okay then till the next post!

Cheers!

Goodbye Holidays and Hello to a new term

Hey all!!!
Well, today is my last day of holiday and tommorow onwards its school all over again.
As every student should remember to make a 'BACK-TO-SCHOOL LIST"
For me I always tend to do a "Back-To-School-Playlist"

So, for today's post I will share with you all my back to school playlist.

A Skylit Drive 

I happened to chance upon this band as I was scrolling through youtube again (as usual) 
and some of their songs are a bit loud but hey, we need a little loud music to wake up to or 
when you are frustrated after school.

Recommanded songs: 
- Rise 
-Just Stay
- Unbreakable 

Switchfoot 


I used to love switchfoot when I was younger and recently I decided to find some of their songs again. 
Some of their songs like 'Awakening' is pretty refreshing. 
 Recommanded Songs: 
- Dare you to move 
-Dark Horses 
-Awakening 
- Afterlife 

Crossfaith 


A band that recently came to singapore for a concert with Bring me the horizon and a band I am recently digging (ALOT). Crossfaith. A metalcore band that mixes the usual heavy rock sounds with some electronic music. Its kind of refreshing and new to me and so to those who likes metalcore but yet like electronic music, try listening to their songs. Also (being half jap) I'm super super proud for the fact japan has such a group. They even managed to go on Vans Warped Tour. Now that's a definite accomplishment for any band. 

Recommanded Songs: 
- Monolith 
-Jagerbomb 
- We are the future 

Other Songs that are on my list

You Make Me- Avicii
Stay the night - Zedd Feat. Hayley Williams
Asu he (Towards Tommorow) - Galileo Galilei
BelovedxSurvival- Gero
Very Good - Block B
Shake the world - G-dragon
Do I Want To Know - Arctic Monkeys
A love like war - All Time Low  ft. Vic Fuentes
Guren no Yumiya - Linked Horizon
A light that never comes- Linkin Park feat. Steve Aoki.

So I guess that would be the end of my post today.
In time, I will try to update as often as possible
Cheers :D

Otaku Post: Recommanded Animes to watch

Hey all!!
Hope you guys had an awesome holiday the past 1.5 months ^^/ 
For me my holiday just started this week
 (I only had to work 2 days!! Not to mention it was my last day yesterday. Gonna miss my workplace though it was tiring) 
The past week has been fine, nothing much just that I got to rest a lot and I started to watch animes again. 
Which brings me to the theme of today's post. 
Recommanded animes to watch~~ 

Honestly, I normally don't like animes. 
I feel that watching dramas are more worth my time. 
However that does not mean I never watch animes,
I just don't really watch animes like naruto or inuyasha
 (too many episodes and ridiculous way of speaking jap..no offence) 

The first anime I watched until the end and even its 2nd season is 'Fullmetal Alchemist
I really loved watching it and it made me realise how animes are actually a really brilliant artwork. 
But its been years since then and the anime I watched after that was Nuraihyon no mago (Rise of the yokai clan) which is pretty good too especially if you love supernatural stuffs. 

BUT! The past few weeks I have been watching anime aimlessly again thanks to tumblr. (And also cuz there isnt any nice dramas out there, both korean and japanese, that are worth watching..yet) 
I saw these awesome gifs of an anime and I found out it belonged to an anime called 
'Attack on Titan' and OMG I never thought I would like anime again. 
I finished the whole 'season 1' series already and honestly its very good. 
Apart from the gruesome scene, the action scenes are awesome and cool. 
So if you are looking for some action this is the anime for you (quite recent as well)

Anime Description: The series follows the story of Eren Yeager, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert. After the outermost Wall is breached by Titans, including the 60-meter tall skinless Colossus Titan and the abnormally intelligent Armored Titan, and his mother dying in the resulting destruction, Eren vows revenge against the Titans and later enlists in the military, accompanied by Mikasa and Armin. Years later during his first battle against the Titans, Eren discovers that he has the ability to transform into a Titan at will. Seen as a threat to mankind by some, and as a ray of hope by others, Eren joins his companions in a desperate fight to protect what remains of their society while looking for answers to the mysteries surrounding the Titans, the Walls, and his own existence as well.

Next, I started watching GUNDAM again. I kind of watched it when I was younger but I stopped cuz I had no interest, but then I recently finished watching Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Gundam Age, Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny (Yes finished them all when each of it has like 40+ episodes) 
I think my most favorite would be Gundam Age. The story was good (though long..it spanned over 3 generations) not to mention they used Spyair's My World as their 2nd ending theme song!! 
However my most faverite 'Gundam' model would be the one in Gundam 00, though Gundam Age's Age system was pretty cool!!

Anime Series: Gundam Build Fighters, Gundam Seed Destiny(Season 1 & 2) , Gundam Seed, Gunpla Builders Beginning G, Gundam Age, Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Where to watch:  http://www.youtube.com/user/GundamInfo



Then I watched BTOOM! and honestly I didnt like it. It was boring, cuz its like Battle royale and hunger games. But if you like such plots, I guess its good?

Anime Description: Ryōta Sakamoto is an unemployed 22-year-old who lives with his mother. In the real world, there may be nothing really special about him, but online, he's one of the world's top players of the combat game called Btooom!. One day, he awakes in what appears to be a tropical island, though he has no memory of how or why he has come to be there. While wandering around, Ryōta sees someone and calls out for help. The stranger responds by throwing a bomb at him. Ryōta soon realizes both that his life is in danger and that he has somehow been trapped in a real-life version of his favorite game. In the game Ryota meets Himiko, who is another Btooom! gamer — and supposedly Ryota's in-game wife.



The latest anime I just finished watching was 'Brother's Conflict' and omg I rarely watch romance anime (cuz I would rather read the mangas and novels) but this was goooood. All the characters are 'ikemen'(idol-like looking guys aka handsome) and though the plot makes you go "ya serious bro!?" but if you just want something to watch, something to relax to, this is kind of nice. Not to mention the Anime's Opening song is good!!

Anime Description: Ema Hinata is the daughter of the famous adventurer Rintarō Hinata. One day, Ema finds out that her dad is going to remarry with a successful apparel maker named Miwa Asahina. Rather than bothering them, she decides to move in to the Sunrise Residence complex that is owned by Miwa. From there, she discovers that she has 13 step-brothers.

Okay so here comes the end of my 'otaku' like post and do comment on this post if you have some nice animes that you think I should watch. Latest ones would be good, however I'm quite picky when it comes to animes so..Haha!! 

Cheers!! :)

Holiday Post

The one who has barely blogged over the holidays is finally blogging now!! 
I'm here to do a massive post again cuz honestly my blog has been stagnant for a while. 
Also I realised I didnt do a monthly picture post so I thought I'm just going to do a Holiday picture post. 
Basically I am just going post the things I have been doing this holiday. 
(Which later you will see but it revolves around work, work and more work) 

 Skies & Sunsets 


















The month of september, I remember it being hot but around the last week of september it started to rain once in a while. However still I got pretty decent shots of the sunset from time to time.

For the month of the october, I managed to take a shady picture of the sunrise (Due to the heavy downpour before the sun came up)

Overall, honestly each day I was happy to see the sunset because it meant I finally got through the day.
But really, the past few weeks have been tough for me because I had work constantly and waking up was hard.


 Food


The top left picture was my dinner at Brozeit which is where my parents celebrated their wedding anniversary (They brought me along though I told them to just go themselves). Had awesome german beer which I had fallen in love with. The food was not to bad.

 This holiday I ate alot at home because I was too tired to eat and it seems that everytime I ask people if they want grab dinner they are busy. I seem to always ask people at bad timings.

Then on off days, I tend to grab a drink alone (cuz no one is free again or I just became too lazy to ask anymore) I recently tried this tequilla sunrise thing and I will never ever touch it again. It tasted terrible..to me at least. I can never like hard liqour unless someone mixes it for me..


Lola's Cafe



  On one of my off days, I went to visit this cafe with cheryl. The Cafe is just a few minutes walk from Kovan MRT Station. We ordered some food. (Well we thought it was 'some' but honestly we over-ordered. Fries Overload). Their nacho fries were awesome..I think they were called nacho fries..and their Latte was not so bad too.

It was one of those rare days I got an off day so it was nice to just hang out somewhere quiet.

They had a unique table as well!! It seemed to be an old sewing machine that had been reused as a table..

Overall it was a good experience though I feel bad I couldn't finish the food.





Well as I said, the month of September and October was the months of work. Though it was tiring and honestly I felt like I had no life, cuz I couldn't get a rest at all this holiday, after each event was done, I felt so happy. 
The Tri-factor series has finally ended and it ended with a special visit by Allan Wu and Bobby Tonelli. They are really handsome in real life. 

I then got to see what Mountain Biking is all about when I helped out at the session with the pro whereby the pro taught some tips to regular mountain bikers. It was really cool to see them in action. (Yes I timidly trekked down the hill to see what was going down)

Then recently, we just finished our last big event which is the Golf Day. It was fun but tiring and really I got sleepy there. But it was nice because I got to talk to alot of people (which is rare for me because I don't normally like human interaction). 

This week should be my last week working so...hopefully I can get a decent rest when school reopens and I don't have to rush around anymore. 


 So that was my picture post for the holiday month. 
And I still have one more week of holidays to go. 
Hopefully next week I can fall sick and just stay at home all day. 
I really miss just lazing around and I am just sad that I can't do that before school reopens. 
Anyhow, have a great day ahead 
Cheers :D
