Instead of spending the spare hours on revision for the upcoming tests next week, i ended up reading comics online. Well, i’m not exactly an anime/manga fan and i guess the only set of comics which i used to collect when i was younger was just “Street Fighters” series. Haha. I then began reading “Suzuka” when my army friends were circulating the comic books around the bunk during NS days, and from that day onwards, i was one of the few people around who got stuck to that comic. HAHA. Anyhow, the few hours online yesterday allowed me to finish the comic and i have so much to say about it!Well, most of you might find it strange that I’m actually reading sucha comic since the first impression of most people would be that it’s a typical “girls” comic relating to romance. Ar well, i guess the plot of the comic was pretty interesting in the beginning until........
The story’s basically about this teenage guy Yamato who moved into Tokyo to pursue his high studies, and then meets this girl named Suzuka along the way. Being infatuated with her at first sight and after finding out she’s in the track and field team in the same school, he decided to seize the opportunity to join in as well. Well, luckily for this guy, he happened to have the flair for sprinting and thus many of the track and field team members looked up to him as a potential talent in the school. So book1 of the comic till about book10 or so describes the various events that happened over the years in school i.e how the friendship between Suzuka and Yamoto turned from hatred to good friends, and then subsequently became lovers despite facing with many difficulties initially.
I guess the interesting part of reading this comic would be reading about their teenage romance that blossomed over the years and how they worked hard in their sports to achieve their goals and dreams. HOWEVER, the plot just collapsed towards the END of the comic!! ARGHG.. I guess the author was in a rush to end this story abruptly and thus coming up with some stupid event to settle it once and for all. ( If u wanna read this comic, then STOP reading the following content below cause i’m gonna whine about the lousy ending )
I was expecting the ENDING to be something like... “despite the both of them breaking up and then patching up together again after a year because they still like each other, they worked even harder in their studies(cause they are aiming to go to the same university together) and perhaps succeed in achieving their goals in the sport.... n maybe some years later, they are still together and they get married and they live happily after.”
NOOOO. I was wrong. It turned out this way:
Yamoto(the horny guy) needs his satisfaction and F**Ks Suzuka(they were 18 then) right after they got together, and then the unfortunate thing was that Suzuka got pregnant on their 1st experience. ( Yamoto’s so efficient manz.. -_-“ ). In the end, Yamoto decided to be responsible for it and intends to marry Suzuka (i commend his responsible actions since he caused it). Thus, both of them decided to keep the baby and they gave up the chance to pursue their university studies and their dreams of excelling in their sports and probably representing at a National Level (sprinting and high jump respectively). By 19, their kid was born and they lived happily after with their friends being supportive and alongside with them throughout. THE END.
Well, i guess this sound pretty much like a normal and good ending to some of you out there but i felt it was pretty disappointing. I mean, after following up with this comic for almost a year, and with so much talk about their ideal dreams and goals in their lives in the previous chapters, i was expecting to read about some form of success which they had achieved at the end of it. Ultimately, none of this happened. Both stopped studying halfway, gave up their favourites and passion for the sport and probably struggled hard financially to keep the family going. (Although it wasn’t really touched on by the author in the comic). Oh well. Maybe I’m just prejudiced against the idea of early marriage. Hahaha.
Okay , So what’s the lesson that can be learnt from here (for GUYS):
“ IF YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IT, USE A CONDOM.”
Lolz.
Firstly, i would like to apologise for the long hiatus in updating this blog. While laziness was one of the reasons why nothing new was updated here, the main reason was also because this stupid blog always fails to save my entry halfway through while typing i.e. it fails to connect to blogger.com halfway n I can’t save my freaking entries. So the followings are some of the summarised updates which have been happening.
NBS Dinner and Dance’07
This was held at Good Wood Park Hotel and i must say it was quite fun overall (Except for the saboh-ed dancing session on stage ) and guess wad, my OG’s pageant girl – Shari won the NBS Pageant Queen! Cheers for her hard work put in and she has done our OG proud!
Hall Dinner and Dance ‘07
The dinner and dance was themed “Movies”, so we were allowed to wear any form of costumes and Hollywood-themed kind of attires. As my Hall’s OG people are pretty reluctant (including myself) about renting costumes (S$35) just for the night, we decided to go for simplicity – Secret Agents Attire.... lolz. I would say the programmes were more entertaining compared to NBS’s DnD, but i could have enjoyed myself further on the DND and food if not for my sudden food poisoning which happened. Sigh and that deprived me of eating all the nice delicacy served that night. =( . Well well, who would have expected that i was lucky enough to be in the OG where my OG’s pageant girl actually won! Hahaz... Congrats to Jing Ying and i think she deserved it for her hard work that night!
Uni and Hall Life
Uni life has been F**ked up so far. Ok i meant the studying part. Yes, somehow or rather, i don’t seem to be able to do well as expected so far and studying has been stressful so far! I’m not used to consistent studying and i can barely catch up with my work. However on a bright side, Hall life has been fruitful and fun most of the times. Apart from the fact that it’s kind of difficult to study at times (because of distractions to play or eat supper instead of sitting down to study) but i guess it made my uni life more interesting! All the late-time suppers, talk cock sessions, sports, birthday tekan sessions and major hall events are what that really brings us (hall12 residents) together as one family. =)
NBS Night Cycling’07
This is indeed the first time participating in night cycling since my parents would never ever let me cycle out in the NIGHT in the past, thus i thought this night cycling trip was pretty much quite an experience. I guess most people didn’t really enjoy much about the cycling part,(since our butts were aching more than anything else) but rather more of the opportunity to be able to meet up as an OG and mingle back like old times during FOC... haha. How fun.
Ming Ming’s 21St Birthday
Kelvin(aka Ming Ming) was the first official person in our OG whom we celebrated his bday in hall, so his celebration turned out to be quite an eye-opener since we prepared a bday surprise party for him, as well as a “camouflaged” kind of tekan session where we pooled him and made him look like an army personal AGAIN. Lolz.
Till then... i shall update again IF i can! =)
