Eyes on Me

Just finished playing FFVIII not too long ago. The storyline is awesome, though there are some flaws in it.

There is this song that I like; it was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, with lyrics by Kako Someya. Quite an old song, but still in the minds of many.

Eyes on Me

I never sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
I never said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real, or just my fantasy?
You'd always be in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know
That I had my mine on you?

Darling, so there you are
With that look in your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure?
If frown is shown, then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you?

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How I can tell you
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach out to me, then
You will know that you are not dreaming

Darling, so there you are
With that look in your face
As if you're hurt
As if you're down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly, but sure?
If frown is shown, then
I will know you are no dreamer

Here’s the ending scene after you defeat Sorceress Ultimecia. A very nice one I'd say; you will only understand it after you played this game...

FFVIII

When I first saw this picture many years back... I knew that I wanted to play that game, but had no idea where to start finding it.

Going shop by shop to find this game is out of the question. So I hunt for it in the internet and found this picture.

Luckily the torrents are still working even though it is almost 2 years old.

Happy Chap Goh Mei everyone!

Incoming!

The CNY group visitation photos had been uploaded by Esther. Do stop by her blog.

Degree students had started their semester since this Monday while a number of students (including me) had to wait for another semester before entering first year degree.

In the past, students who failed those subjects are able to skip them and take on their degree program. After that, they are free to choose when they would like to take their LAN subjects again. Recently, I was told that all the students are required to pass their LAN subjects that consist of Study and Information Literacy Skills, Malaysian Studies and Moral Studies.

Our LAN subject lecturers warned us again and again that no matter what, we must not fail any of these 3 subjects. I believe those lecturers’ words fall on death ears as the majority of the students only came into the class to talk and play (including me also, sadly). Some students even brought in their laptops and played games like DotA and CS; quite a number of students brought cards to play ‘Big Two’ and any card game you could think of.

Wondering how the students are able to do all these while the lecturers are teaching? Well, the lecturers don’t really give a damn about it; they just play their part – teaching those students who are interested and paying attention to the lecture.

Jeff failed one subject and took the re-sit paper today. All the best of luck to you brother!

Happy 19th Birthday Irene!

Will upload the pictures asap once I get them... Till then.

Being kind does NOT pay.

CNY comes once a year and I enjoyed it very much by going house to house, visiting my relatives and friends.

The third day of CNY, our usual gang of Swinburne-ians gathered at Jalan Song, in front of Pizza Hut. Chen purposely drove all the way down from his house and Soon Ping specially brought 8 more girls from his ex-school to join the gathering. Strangely, the majority asked for plain water only instead of carbonated drinks when we visit each house.

Also, we took at least one group picture whenever we stop at a house. Mdm. Lye prepared lunch for us since it was around 1200 to 1300. The houses we had visited in order are Kang Tzy’s house, Mdm. Lye’s house, Zhi Wei’s house, Jacq’s house, Ms. Sandra’s house, Esther’s house, Mr. George’s house, Siew Chein’s house, Tung Ing’s house then Siew Yong’s house. (Did I miss out anyone’s name?)

After that, our group split into two, the first group going to Winnie’s house while the other group went home for a quick bath before leaving for Irene’s house at 2030. Irene specially prepared dinner for all of us and we enjoyed it, some even had doubts whether it is really her who prepared all the food because it was delicious. Then the final house we visited for the day is Johnson’s house. He told jokes and did some miming to entertain us; somehow, Jeff and I were the victims for his ‘miming show’.

The fourth day of CNY was actually reserved for all the Gaporians or Stampians or whatever you call it. But somehow, someone else had other plans for the Gaporians currently studying in form 6 – by excluding the non-form 6 students from the list of house-to-visit. Nice friends don’t you think? Nevertheless, none of us were really bothered with it, a short moment of disappointment and that’s it, since it was ‘them’ who wanted to widen the gap between the Gaporians and the ex-Gaporians.

Starting off with Chin Chiang’s house, then Cindy’s house and Jeff’s house before going home to rest for a short while and visited Kimmie’s house during the evening. Both Kim and Aurelia played the same song - Houki Boushi (did i spell it wrongly? =/) for us before we head home.

I had been happy throughout the day until I saw this.

It says that I had been banned for being a leaver. But actually it was an act of kindness to the opposite faction – the Scourge.

Of course, I appealed in the ‘Banlist Appeal Compilation’; one of my friends appealed too.

*******

To whoever bearing the ID of lonewolf90, I represent all the 4 persons whom you had reported to pass you the message that, you better not cross paths with us, OR you will be the next noob leaver.

I had not used the banlist for more than half a year, you were and will ALWAYS be in my noob list.

I had been kind enough to let you go without banning you and this is what I get in return. Very well, let’s play.

I managed to borrow accounts from Dennis and use it for the meantime while waiting for the ban period to end. Berry reached home around 0300 and called me immediately when she found out that I was banned (my friends told her about it since they got banned too).

The first thing she said was to borrow me her own account, adding in that she can use her friend’s account while I use hers. Where else can I find such a good friend whom I had not met before yet helped me so much?
