No Dead End  

Princess - DEAD END

Regarded as leaders in the J-rock and Visual Kei movement, after 20 years, the legendary DEAD END are back with their new release METAMORPHOSIS which Princess comes off of. It's the first I've heard of the band but the song is fantastic!!! With rockin' instrumentals and rich soaring vocals, the song has a solid sound that's sure to grab you! And that guitar solo is just insane! *0*

Exam Freakout  
F&^k! I am so sick and tired of studying for freakin' exams...and it's only the second week! DX I still have another week to go which will be the most intense since I'm writing everyday and don't have any days off but damnit, I'll be happy when these 75%-of-my-year/term/whatever-mark are OVER! In terms of school and work, this year has just been crap. So when it's all over after these exams, I WILL enjoy myself during the holidays and not freak out over all the work next year or the crap marks that I got this year.

*end exam freakout over not wanting to study and lack of studying*

Pay Money for My Pain  

The Answer is not in the TV - Pay Money to My Pain

Awesomely addictive!! Will be looking for more of their stuff!

P.S It's 9 in the morning, all I've done for the past week is write exams but for some reason my body feels like I've just been moshing at a concert. :/

GYLC Nomination  
So while I was writing my Zulu exam today, my grade controller walks into the venue and discreetly drops an envelope with my name onto the desk. I was still writing my paper, so didn't pay the envelope much attention and set it to the side, although I did start to wonder what it was about. At first, I thought it was a notice concerning next year's fashion show and the committee or maybe bursaries for school but since I already received a letter for the latter, it had to be something else. The whole time I was writing the exam, I had this nagging feeling to open the letter and just see what it said - for some reason, I had this overwhelming feeling that it was going to be something good. As soon as the exam finished I opened the letter. At the first words "Dear Parents", I thought: Oh. It is just another boring letter about something school-admin related. But then I read, "We are very pleased to notify you..."

And there it was, I'd been nominated to attended the Global Young Leaders Conference next year. I couldn't believe it.



GYLC is a topic that always comes up when people talk of Grade 11 and though no one tends to know what it involves, every over-achiever academically-inclined student feels a need to go on it. All we know is that:
  1. It is prestigious.
  2. It's a great opportunity  (looks great on your CV).
  3. It involves going to America.
And that is enough. XD Honestly? It looks AMAZING...I'd love to go. I've never been to China or America before and it really sounds like an amazing opportunity and I'm so excited but...somehow...I can't help but feel that I'm somewhat under-qualified for it. If anyone heard me say that outloud they'd burst out laughing. But besides my academic record (which has experienced a rather hard knock in it, recently) , what else do I have to offer? I'm not a bad speaker but I get nervous doing public speaking and it's not like I have some amazing leadership skills (at least not that I'm aware of). But then, there must be something...since, without voting for myself, I received 33 votes and was elected onto the fashion show committee. If 33 people can believe in me, why can't I believe in myself?

As much as I'd like to visit, America, I think going to China would really, really be awesome. ♥ I believe that may have something to do with me being an SABC (South African Born Chinese) but experiencing the culture, the language, the people, the country with my friends and people so close to home would be so incredible!

Re-do  
So I decided to actually try to update and use this livejournal because I really do need someplace to dump off-load some thoughts, ideas and opinions. Mainly stuff about my life...which revolves around:

- Music: Mostly the J-rock and Visual Kei kind. It's kinda become my new obsession. XD I still listen to 'Western' music however and am currently acquainting myself with local South African musicians who are indeed, rather talented. ^_^ Although I have a J-rock/Visual Kei review site, Asphyxia, I think I might post some reviews here but mostly, they'll be first impression posts on a song/single/album/PV where my thoughts will  run amok. =P

- Art: I'm an art student and while doing my art, often come up with complaints interesting musings about my work, my tools and how much I hate drawing hair. Yes, I am a total art nerd. XD I often used to draw in my spare time but unfortunately in my recent high school years, I've just been bogged down with so much work that the only art I do is school-related. We get a prac a term and not only do I have to do a final, finished piece of work but prep work of brainstorms and colour compositions which then needs to be presented in a portfolio. >_< Although to be honest, all this incessant drawing has improved my drawing skills dramatically. :3

- School: The sad, unfortunate truth is that school is my reality. And it will be for another two years until I got to varsity. Then varisty will be my reality, lol. XD But right now it's the biggest thing in my life since no matter how hard I try there's almost no way to escape it - there's always some work to be done, whether it be homework, projects, an assignment or studying. I am a work-a-holic. DX And it is mainly for this reason that I won't be able to update here all that often. :(

Yea. So in a nutshell, welcome to the journal of an anxious, music-obsessed, perfectionist. XD
