The weight of hisotry
Kids nowadays are so obnoxious. First they label me an auntie, show off their awesome skills in front of me, and then hunted the neighbourhood cat down. Hey pal, the cat and I have been in the block for a far longer time than you have so back off and show some respect for us veterans.
...
On a light note, I went to watch Valkrie last night. I first became inetrested in it when some descendent of the lead charcter complained that Tom Cruise was too short and stocky to play von Stauffenburg. I agree. The height disparity between him and Bill Nighy who plays Olbricht is painful to watch, but he has to be credited for giving an intriguing performance. Anyway, the film is an insight to the July 20 plot to assasinate Hitler, (The last of FIFTEEN attempts. Shouldn't Hitler have noticed that he's not very popular?), with the help of Valkrie (Wakure) which was the Reserve army of the Nazis, to seize and take control of the government. A military coup, in other words. It almost succeeded, only to fail at the last minute when the messenger decided to switch sides.

Hello New Year
School started this week. I thought I might have a problem adjusting to the early hours and all that after 3 or more months of slacking at home doing nothing, but I slipped right back in the schedule. I realised that lots of people (from the 07 batch) have been getting jobs, earning pay, firing off uni applications and moving off with their 'adult' life and here I am stuck with a maths lecture test next monday. How nice. To be honest, I felt kind of left out. But as my dad likes to say, we must sui yuan. At least 7C's a really wonderful class to be in, so I feel right at home with them.
Talking about 7C...well, the whole class is really behaving themselves, at least in the first week of the year. Even the resident MIA has buckled down and gave himself a 'studious look', in his own words, to match his new mugging nature by cutting a really nerdy hairstyle and wearing huge ancient-looking glasses. =D And everyone has been attending class concientiously and punctually, firstly because we are all too aware of what an important year this is for us, and secondly becuase we are sitting at the front of the LT/Audi for almost every lecture (thanks to our past track record). Attendance has been dutifully taken for EVERY lesson. And the demerit point system has been adjusted to a permanent one to deter us from misbehaving...thanks in part to the previous batch actually.
Well at least we are only a week away from CNY. Everyone's really looking forward to the long break, coz we're all feeling so xian and still in a holiday mood. I hope CNY would be fun. I can't really bear to look at what comes after CNY, but for now, let me jus enjoy my new year in peace. thanks.

Why are d-gray chapters so short?
The Galmar girl is STILL alive. I hope she just dies off from the gunshot. Her meaningless existence is wasting precious template space for mighty Kanda's appearance, who seems to be slacking his ass off somewhere outside the manga. Maybe he's not back from Halloween break.
And Poor Link. I was just starting to really like him, after all that prowess at chess and fighting with the spells or whatever, but it looks like death is upon him. Argh! Sobz...Somebody save him!
Haha...the many faces of Tyki Mikk...

My 2 Lehman shares worth of thoughts
1 is a unique number. It succeeds well in an oligopoly market where product differentiation is crucial.
2 is a blissful number. Marriage is a union between two individuals, be they consenting adults or unwilling teenagers.
3 is a holy number. Think the holy trinity.
4 is a fantastic number. Fantastic 4!
5 is a good number. They count votes by 5. We have 5 digits on each limb.
6 is a fabulous number. If 2 is that great, 6 must be triple the joy.
7 is a magical number. 7 members on a quidditch team. 7 years at Hogwarts. 7th son of a 7th son is a werewolf.
8 is an auspicious number. 8888 is a favourite 4D number.
9 is an important number. Think 991, 995, 999, 9XXXXXXX (or whatever the phone number of ur mom, dad, sis, bro, boy/girlfriend, grandma, pet, grandpa is )
10 is a perfect number. Perfect 10. It's why we have a decimal system in place.
11 is a real number.
12 is a rational number.
pi is a complex number which no one understands.
And x is that irritating unknown number in that recent maths test paper which you have absolutely no idea how to determine.
I have this funny notion that the Galmar girl will become Kanda's girlfriend. But if she's some vain little princess, she might end up disliking him for being prettier than she is. I hope nothing like that happens though. His character will be ruined.
PS. I love that slanty eyes of his.
Some wild guesses:
1. I think the fake nun is a new noah. Unless lvl 4 akumas can convert to human form...
2. Hopefully we'll get to see Kanda evolve to the crystal-type in the next few chapters. Maybe G's just a filler arc. I so do not like him. I mean, if he's bawling at the sight of blood, then how is he goona cope with all that in-ur-face deaths and corrupted souls of akumas and wat-not. Besides, Kanda's a lot more interesting than G. =D
3. Lavi's currently the weakest among the 4 protagonists only because he is still choosing to be a bookman. Panda warned him not to get too friendly with his innocence because his priority is as a bookman to record history, not as an exorcist. So if we want to see him evolve, he'll have to make a choice between Bookman and Exorcist. I hope he can compromise between both though. It'll be quite sad to see him lose either side of himself.
4. Don't think Cross is dead. It'll be a waste to kill off such an awesome character. He's like the Merlin of the story. I guess he's just hiding somewhere bidding his time coz he knows too much about the other side of the war, enough to warrant an assasination attempt at his life by Central anyway.
5. Central sounds really suspicious. Perhaps Central and the Earl ganged up together to create this whole big fake war between exorcist and akuma, perhaps to turn the whole world into support for the religion or something. Religious zeal. You never know. So maybe that's why Marian Cross was so disgusted by this that he quitted/got kicked out of the club. Wonder what happened to Maria. Went back to her grave, I suppose.
6. Kanda has got a noah relation, who is that someone he's looking for. *desperately attempts to grasp at logic* Then yea...maybe that noah bit of him was the one which saved him from akuma poison, make him able to heal faster than ever...Oh wait, that makes him Allen's relative, doesn't it?
