Cute video to destress for the needy. Why cat? Ask the internet.

Now that I am less than 3 weeks away from the start of A levels, my activity here is probably going to go lower than what it is now. The probability that cutting down my activity is going to help me in my end of year is pretty much near zero but hopefully it's going to give me a sense of dedication to studying, albeit a false one.

I uploaded some not-very-relevant humourous pictures to commemorate the coming of A levels. They are quite outdated but meh, they're still a good laugh occasionally. Enjoy! (As usual, click the link below to see full post)

Anyway, just for your information, I do not own any of these images. I found all of them online.

First, to describe us, who are (finally) dedicating appropriate lengths of time to our full-time jobs as students,





Now for some intellectual images,









This is to describe the rest of you who've finished exams,

Hello, as this is a great anime season, I personally feel that I should recommend some to anybody who happens to read this post. Probably not for the J2s, but as for the others, you can check them out if you are free. xD.

Click on "read entire post" below to see the whole thing.

Romance
1. Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
	The primary reason I watch this anime is because of its talented cast. By cast, I mean that it has very good voice actors. I don't really know if the plot is going to be good though. The gist of this anime seems to be the relationship between the protagonist and his unwilling tsundere fiancee and if the storyline is good, this will surely be a success.
2. Clannad ~After Story~
	A continuation to Clannad, this is expected to be as good as the first series. Just ask anybody who has watched Clannad, you are bound to get a positive response. Enough said.
3. ef - a tale of melodies
	The sequel to ef - a tale of memories. I love ef for its element of bittersweet love so I am probably following this one. It's not really a continuation of the former though, speculation says that it is going to focus on the development of the remaining characters seen in "memories".
4. Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter
	Yet another sequel. It's prequel, Nodame Cantabile, is really an enjoyable anime. Both series incorporate music into its storyline, with Orchestra and Piano being the mode of music in question here. Being able to appreciate classical music isn't a prerequisite for you to enjoy this anime, however. According to my past impression, it's soothing and slow to moderately paced. Expecting this to be good.

Shounen (It means that guys are the primary target audience)
1. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Season 2
	The highly anticipated season 2 is finally here! I have just watched the first episode a few hours ago and it's excellent, in terms of quality of designs, actions and screenplay. I don't have to elaborate on the popularity of the gundam series and this one has the potential to defeat its previous franchise, gundam seed.
2. Kurogane no Linebarrels
	Another mecha anime airing this season. Honestly speaking, I don't really have high hopes for this anime since it's by Gonzo. I haven't watched the first episode, but it didn't receive good review as far as I know. It seems mildly interesting, which is the reason this is mentioned. Although Gonzo allowed online streaming on CrunchyRoll, it is, sadly, not available in our region. It seems tedious to find a fansub group on this project, so I may drop it altogether instead. Wait, why did I mention this anyway?
3. Tale of the Abyss
	Being an anime adaptation of Tales RPG series by Namco, this should be familiar to RPG lovers. Seems good and interesting enough. The protagonist "gained the freedom he's been dreaming of" and "what awaits him in the outside world will shatter everything he's ever known about himself" or so to quote from the synopsis.

Other nice animes
1. Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
	Literally meaning Hell Girl 3rd series. It's probably the kind of anime I am looking for since I have been somewhat looking for psychological animes ever since Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. I need to watch Jigoku Shoujo and Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori before I can really comment on this though. By the way, Jigoku Shoujo is showing on Art Central every Wednesday at 11pm for those ignorant ones. =P. They are showing two other animes from this season too, such as Casshern Sins and Skip Beat!. Casshern is a mecha anime and skip beat is a shoujo anime, both seems interesting too.
2. Vampire Knight Guilty
	For some reason, a lot of girls seem to like Vampire Knight and have been waiting for its sequel. It finally aired today so these peeps can feast on their Kaname and Zero yet again! Nonetheless, it's quite entertaining to watch because the settings involved are rather dark (sinister?), which happens to suit my taste.

There are probably other good animes around like Ga-Rei -Zero-(action), Toradora!(Tsundere romance), Shugo Chara!! Doki(magic), but it's gonna take me ages to finish all of them. Those listed above are, in my opinion, the best of their respective genre this season anyway. And as to why I chose to blog about this, hmm, I guess really just felt like it. ^^.

I am lazy have ran out of creative juices and is thus posting random stuffs pertaining to recent happenings. I was hoping for something intellectual out of this blog but I fail hard at it, seeing that I have been posting nothing but YouTube videos recently. So, I am going to blog about something lighter and make this mugger here seem not so like one prove that this can be a normal blog.

Nothing much going around, except post prelims schedule has been quite slack with lots of break in between. That's good, ain't it? Just yesterday, I have a 3.5 hours break between my second last and last lesson. I could have spent that time doing something exhaustive like playing ball (which I haven't done so for a long time) but instead, I spent that time so ever wisely by doing a VJ prelims paper. I didn't intend for it, I used my Chemistry and Physics revision lecture preparing for the last lesson because I haven't started on it. I have almost finished the RJ paper after Physics but alas, RJ paper is for next week. Damn. Oh well, at least it means I have lesser to do next week.

Wait, that's not right. I am exactly 30 days away from A levels. Definitely not a time to reduce my workload. Zzz. Haha, I am so hardworking. -_-.

Anyway, my prelims result are quite exhilarating. Okay, the grades are decent but that's not what I am refering to. My all-time-constantly-bordering-on-fail GP is now my best subject (according to school ranking) without me devoting all my time to it unlike another subject (which is now first runner-up, losing to GP by 1% in percentile). HAHA. Talk about getting lucky.

I have to stop procrastinating and start revising for real soon! Good luck all!
