the last time i received my uni results,
i was on msn with the myc people in a mass convo called pre exams results release prayer group.hahaha.

i wonder if they are doing that now.
in any case, it's 5 mins before the results are released and i bet like thousands are already at the schools webpage clicking the refresh button aimlessly for the next 5mins.

i'll leave mine to tomorrow while the site jams up with people.

i'm starting on '1 litre of tears'
yes, super slow on my part since that was a hit 2005 drama or something.

"This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.

Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu. As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately. She started falling down often and walks in a strange way. Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?"

something similar did happen to me sometime back in 2002.
it's a good time that as i watch, i should also pen down my personal experience as a testimony.
i'll post them up one day^^

i'm on episode 3 and i just love how the characters interact with the plot so well
and how it unfolds.
i have come to believe that all good scripts, no matter how cliche the plot is, begins with a real story.
sometime it is my dream to just sit all day on a bus, eavesdropping on people's conversations, knock on some random door and ask them to tell me about their lives.
which reminds me, i have a script to complete this hols.
