Haha suddenly realised I've got quite a few loose ends to tie up from everything. For guitar theres composition comm stuff as well as learning all the parts of the song. For YE theres the roster and the camp theme song. For piano I've got loads of theory homework. Even Eden-Sol stuff thats been left over from the concert like uploading songs and chording some of them has been left undone. And I realised that some of the RJC teachers left holiday assignments for us to do. Oh man...
Its high time I started doing something productive. Yeah but I'll start tonight after this. Those guys I need cooperation from better help out or else...
Before I begin on anything else...

The Man U Chelsea match was pretty boring for me. The real highlight was the Bolton Arsenal match. It was super exciting that I kept awake for the entire match. Dunno how my dad slept through it haha. Anelka punished his old club Arsenal by scoring 2 of the best goals I've ever seen from Bolton. It was pretty awesome. Not only cos the underdogs won but also cos the match was played at quite a high tempo and was so entertaining.

I must say that I really like Naruto, not just cos of its plot, characters and animation, but also because of the encouragement it gives me. The values that I hold dear have all been affirmed throughout watching the first 90 episodes.
Naruto, the main character had a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon sealed into him when he was young. As a result, the 4th leader (also known as 4th Hokage), which happened to be Naruto's dad, died. Throughout his entire life, Naruto was feared and ostracized, but he didn't know why. He lived a hard life of solitude, waiting for some one to appreciate him for his ninja techniques. And finally someone did.
Frankly it sounds like my life without all the demon stuff haha. From young I was some what like an outcast, especially in Kindergarten, Nursery and some parts of my Primary education. The worse thing was that I didn't know why, and nobody bothered to correct me when I was going the wrong way. But soon awesome people who appreciated me came along and gave me strength and encouragement, and that was enough to make me become a wonderful person.
Another character from Naruto is a guy called Gaara, who's from the Hidden Village of Sand. (Naruto is from the Hidden Village of Leaf - Konoha FYI) He had the same childhood as Naruto, he had a sand raccoon demon sealed in him. The villagers all feared him, and even worse, seeing him as a threat, his very own father tried to assassinate him many many times. In the end, his father ordered the guardian he trusted and loved to try and kill him. The guardian failed, but from then on Gaara became a merciless killing machine. Freaky huh.
Its quite scary how certain things in your life can help you or just mess up your entire future. I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn't met those awesome friends and mentors I've had throughout my life. Would I become something like Gaara and live to hate? Dunno.
Naruto soon became a Genin (low ranked ninja) and took the Chuunin (middle ranked ninja) examinations. He fought lots of hard battles and in the final exam even defeated the number one Genin rookie of the previous year. But then he soon fought Gaara when something sudden happened (which I won't spoil). It was not only a contest of ninja skills, but a contest of will and spirit. Two different, yet completely the same persons fought for what they thought was right.
Hate or Love? Gaara believed that strength came from within himself, and the only one he could live for was himself. Naruto believe that strength came from others, and he lived for others.
They clashed, and Naruto was the victor. Naruto said after the fight that true strength came from a desire to protect the people that you cherish. After I saw that I wanted to cry.
It was so much like me... Everything that I've done from the beginning of my life to now was affirmed in that one second. And it felt wonderful. So many years of being different from others, so many years of being left out, so many years I've tried to be nice to everyone. It all paid off when I saw that brief scene. I remember I cried in the shower the day I saw that episode.
So now I'm at episode 90, and I'll continue watching to see how everything progresses.
