A brief summary of Sem 2 life in Utar...

Week 1 Sem 2,Utar...
*relax relax*
Oh new subjects to learn...new friends to be friends with and 1st sem friends to catch up, laugh and joke together...

Week 3 Sem 2,Utar...
 *thinks*
Okay, I guess I can still manage it...

Week 5 Sem 2,Utar...
*panic alarm ringing*
GAH!!! So fast Test 1 already? I've never even started revising!!! HYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*mutters mutters* SEI KANG LOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sure die in Cantonese)

Week 7 Sem 2,Utar...
*breathes in, breathes out*
Effective Communication Skills 5-minute-speech individual presentation. Okay. Okay. Okay. I get it. I just need to speak for a few minutes and be done with it. Fine. Fine. Wait. What am I supposed to say again? o.O

Week 9 Sem 2,Utar...(Now)
*half dead and half insane*
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. More tests. Tests results. Practical reports. Effective Comm Skills Sketch group presentation. Loads of unanswered tutorial questions. Way too much information to squeeze into The Brain. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. I'm dead meat.
P.S. Dear Phillip boy, please remember to order a delicately carved tombstone and a nice-fitting coffin (the tombstone preferably in pastel blue colour made of high quality marble) for your beloved mother. Thank you.

Conclusion: I'm now absolutely positive that Time has a pair of wings on its back. That's why Time flies...really fast. Although quite fast-paced, things are still kind to me (except two minor bicycle accidents this semester -.- ). Will I survive at the end of the semester? @@

Fate/Stay Night

Ah,Fate/Stay Night! One of my favourites~

A guy named Emiya Shirou...
...dragged into a Holy Grail War, in which the winner out of seven would have his/her wish granted using the Holy Grail obtained...
...became a Master and had a female Servant called Sabre...
...and had to face other six Masters and their respective Servants by battling each other out...

Emiya Shirou
Well, in the anime, though he had to battle the other Masters and Servants together with Sabre, he had managed to befriend a few Masters through the process - Tohsaka Rin who had Archer as her Servant and Ilyasviel, whose Servant, Berserker was gone after a battle with Rin, Archer, Shirou and Sabre. The anime captured my interest particularly due to the odd storyline in the sense that the historical figure, King Arthur was depicted as a woman, none other than the Servant, Sabre. Another plus point was the creative storyline regarding the war for the Holy Grail, the Masters and Servants ideas. It was something out of the ordinary. Of course, there are other titles that are also as brilliant and interesting as this or even more than it but the whole story is pretty impressive. I've included all the pics of the seven Servants and some of the Masters.
Servant Archer

Servant Assassin

Servant Berserker
Servant Lancer
Ilyasviel
Servant Caster


Gilgamesh



Servant Rider

Tohsaka Rin

Servant Sabre

Matou Sakura

Nyehehe, not to forget the chemistry between Shirou and his Servant, Sabre...and there was even someone who opposed their love, Gilgamesh, someone whom I haven't fully understood whether he is a Servant or just another epic hero that exists for whatever reason it is. Just like any other animes, the ending is always as disappointing as ever, although they were supposed to be "all's well, happy and satisfied" ending. Gah, why can't they let destined couples to be together happily ever after? Why must the ending be "we love each other, but we can't be together, so we shall leave it as it is, forever loving and remembering you in the heart"????? ARGHH!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating!!!!!!!!

Hmm, overall, the show is quite a good one. Except...the ending of course. *sulks away*

P.S. Oh yes, forgot something. Matou Sakura was one of the seven Masters with her Servant Rider in the manga, but here in the anime, Rider's Master was her brother, Matou Shinji. Talking about Sakura, she had a great crush on Shirou but anyways, I still prefer Sabre over her to be together with Shirou. Gosh, I just realised...what's wrong with the names starting from S??? Sakura, Shirou, Sabre??? Gah! *poofs away*
