Tonight!! (Bright Zen light mix)

Suddenly I've caught on to this song "Tonight" by Weiss. Suddenly. And i've had this song for quite some time, i just havent given this song as much attention as i do now. Maybe its because i just came across the lyrics and it felt fun trying to sing along.

So, here are the lyrics for Tonight:

wakaranai nani ka kawarisou nanda
/something unknown seems to be changing
Tonight Night
kanata wo senkou ga somete yuku
/the distance will be painted in flashing light
War? Wow

tenshi mo ireba akuma mo iru darou
/if angels are here then demons may be as well
dare mo kokoro no naka wa sou Black&White
/the inside of everyone's heart is like that Black&White
ai mo aru nara itami mo aru darou
/since love is here then pain may be as well
konya kono yo ga kawaru Tonight Tonight
/tonight this world changes Tonight Tonight

oyasumi mishiranu kuni no NYUUSU yo
/goodnight news of an unknown country
Tonight Night
nikushimi ikari no umi ga moeru
/hatred; a sea of anger burns
War? Whoa

tenshi no kao de akuma ga sasayaku
/with the faces of angels demons whisper
hito no kokoro no naka wa sou Smilin' Cryin'
/the inside of people's hearts are like that Smilin' Cryin'
toki no shijima de dare ka sakebu darou
/within the silent solitude of time someone calls out, surely
konya subete wo keshite Tonight Tonight
/tonight everything is extinguished Tonight Tonight

Love Somebody Hate Somebody
Shame Somebody Live Somebody

tenshi mo ireba akuma mo iru darou
/if angels are here then demons may be as well
dare mo kokoro no naka wa sou Black&White&Blue
/the inside of everyone's heart is like that Black&White&Blue
ai mo aru nara itami mo aru darou
/since love is here then pain may be as well
konya kono yo ga kawaru Tonight Tonight
/tonight this world changes Tonight Tonight

tenshi no kao de akuma ga sasayaku
/with the faces of angels demons whisper
hito no kokoro no naka wa sou Smilin' Cryin'
/the inside of people's hearts are like that Smilin' Cryin'
toki no shijima de dare ka sakebu darou
/within the silent solitude of time someone calls out, surely
konya subete wo keshite Tonight Tonight
/tonight everything is extinguished Tonight Tonight

The lyrics may not make much sense at all, but then, i do like the idea of demons with the faces of angels whispering into your ears... pretty good concept eh? Temptation. In the form of a nice girl whom i've kinda taken a liking to... nah... she's just a classmate... at least that's what i would have wanted to say, but then, is she really just a classmate whom i m more than willing to lend my notes to? Guess not. But still, the chances of going any further seem to predict futile efforts.

All is not lost though, at least, i did ace my accounting midterms. To sum it all up, 97% for a paper that's worth 30% of my final assessment, and i figured out that by now, i've collected 41% out of the 45% possible before the 2nd half of the semester for accounting 2.

Monday was the accounting 2 midterms, and on tuesday, due to massive traffic jams outside Midvalley, which were caused by the J-card member day sale for Jusco, i was late by abt 45mins for a 2hr class. And when i finally made it to class, the stupid thing was, the lecturer N spent the entire class marking our papers, no lectures.

Wednesday, Lecturer N really went into hyperdrive mode, and finished one chapter in a bit under 50mins. We had a 10 min break and then he had us do one question in class to illustrate the ideas in that chapter. Class ended 20mins early, and during class, something really stupid happened. N was going thru the 1st part of the question, when i had already finished the 2nd part... He caught B looking at A's paper, and reprimanded B for doing that. B said he didnt have a calculator and so he couldnt calculate the figures for the production budgets and material purchase budgets. So i lent B my calculator. N saw it and wasnt pleased. So he went, Caleb, why dont u have a calculator? I replied "Sir, i lent mine to Ben" and he went "Why u lend him ur calculator? How are u going to do the 2nd part?" i replied "Sir, i've finished that already." Upon the answer which his face darkened, and said, ok, give me the answer to the 2nd part. I did. And then he asked me if i did part 3, and i had finished it too, so i gave him the answers... His face really darkened with each correct answer...

Now, to try to bully a student for just not having a calculator is one thing, to try and catch ur top student off guard, is another. When he thought he had me off guard for the fourth and last part of the question, well, it made his day even worse. He couldnt catch a single mistake from me, and its when he was still getting everyone to do part 3. I do forgive him for having some misgivings about our class though. Someone got thrown out of the exam hall for cheating during the mid terms... I mean, if u want to cheat, how stupid do u need to be to get caught?

Serves her right, but then still, sometimes the feelings of sympathy do appear. I mean, it's not like i dun cheat. I help others cheat, as the answer provider usually. But of course, i dont get caught doing it. And the other factor is, i cant find anyone to cheat off. I am afterall the top guy. Oh well, so much for bragging about that, but i worked for it, and i think i rightly claimed that place.

Saw the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with Aik, his friends LiShun, Eng Tee and EngTee's IMU babe. I mean, its damn obvious she's not his gal, but then again, i'd really like to encourage ET to try harder and go ahead. U'd never know, it might have been a mistake last time, but this time, it might be, as one omake of Bleach aptly puts it, "A wonderful Mistake" (the original was "A Wonderful Error")... So there u go ET boy, dun waste time, and dun hesitate. He who hesitates is Lust!! (fine, its a bad pun)

And i figured out that it would be really fun to watch, ET vs Predator (vs Alien) if its possible. We really cant have ET vs Jason right? That wouldnt be fun at all. Jason would just punch the hell out of anything that moves with his Jackhammer and Dempsey Roll anyway. So there goes.

Time to end this Blog. Hopefully the midterm for Stupid World Religions goes well. History really isnt my strong point, and theology outside of christianity and Catholicism is way off my palate. Well then. To zzz.

Dungeons and Dragons and Dynamite and Deathrays

I Am A: Lawful Neutral Human Ranger Fighter


Alignment:
Lawful Neutral characters believe in the triumph of law and order above all else. It does not matter whether the leader is for good or evil; the leader will be followed, because the order they provide is the most important thing.


Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.


Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.


Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.

Corruption of Innocence [Fade to Noise Mix]

Somehow, just somehow, my blog titles are starting to really feel like the chapter names of Bleach manga chapters, or at least, those by Kubo Taito. That point aside. Somehow my imagination seems really overdone these few days. Today, i tried to put myself in the situation or scenario of the movie "Ima, ai ni yukimasu". And this while i am listening to the song Hana by Orange Range which was used in the movie. Thinking abt the lyrics didnt help. Suddenly felt like soaking in tears.

Recent happenings in my life... well... to think about it, nothing really big or significant did happen. Except maybe for one thing. And maybe its only significant to me and no one else.

This is perhaps no longer a secret among my yumcha kakis... but yeah, a lady, J, whom i kinda feel slightly more interested in before, and whom Mr. B has a crush on, SMSed me on a boring, wednesday morning. At 1:52am no less. To tell me that she's worried about tomorrow. She can't sleep. And its her first day at her new job. Yikes. She should be sleeping but she wasnt. Oh well, i can understand anxiety. And i can understand that i am probably a good trusted friend. One who replies SMS 2 hrs plus late cos my phone was somewhere else when the messaged arrive.

That aside. I am a greedy person. And true to the sense of that. I m not really content to standby and be the guy whom she trusts as a friend. I want to be 'that guy'... The right man for her. Not just the friend whom she consults for shopping spots in singapore or the guy she gave her 'first time' to... first time on a train and then a tour bus...

At the same time, i am thinking, this is dangerous... No... wait... She... is dangerous... In every sense of the word. Attitude, a harsh mistress she will be. But yet, tempting is her scent. Her every move... her eyes... her voice... and the way she reprimands me for not really washing my hands after eating. And of course, the way she gets a bit annoyed is just so cute. Not denying the fact that many guys probably will die to have her, i and not going to that extreme. But its just not doing any justice to say that i have no desire whatsoever for her. Have to admit. Did like her cuteness since primary school.

Till now, the cute petit look remains. The attitude has changed perhaps. Strong of will and heart she is. Iron resolve she has i guess, and she seems to hate people's assumptions about her. In a sense, that's good. She taught me that I really need to get to know her better in a sincere manner. Like a real Gentleman that is. Call me Mr. Gentleman will ya? =P

Right. Its getting late. Hopefully, I will catch "Madagascar" tomorrow, although i really want to catch "Ima, ai ni yukimasu" sometime too. No lyrics this time, although i would really want to post the lyrics for No Reason by Weiss sometime too. Oh well, leave it here. To end, with nothing.

"Dust to dust, Ashes to ashes"
