The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

The movie is nice! Very steeped with elements of daily life in modern Japan, interesting cultural interpretations and a simple romantic plot. I went with 3 other classmates from my Japanese language class for the movie and they seemed to have a great time as well. Such a pity Singapore does not bring in Japanese movies on a more frequent basis, sigh!

I took the opportunity to say a quick hi to YJ, a student of mine who was working at Pastamania. He is incidentally the student who got the fine the other day for "eating bread" at the MRT platform, gosh! He refused my suggestion of offering me a free meal though, so YJ you be careful ah!

I felt a little moody, so after a quick dinner I bade goodbye to the classmates and checked out HMV. That's where I saw that Maroon 5 has introduced a new album (not nice) though Bon Jovi's Highway caught my eye and ears. However it was too radio-friendly, hence making it a little too common.

My immediate reflection after the movie? "Time waits for no one" and indeed, that is a strong message that hit me. I hate myself for being rash at times, but I think if I do not go on JET, is there other method I can go for an extended period of time and get paid in the process? I am really motivated to have a closer look at their society!

Lots of grading (3 classes worth), lots of extra work (IG/ECA, problem crafting and collaterals), little time. Let us take things one step at a time, and never losing sight of the next step which seems very clear yet a little impractical. Nevertheless..
