If I can sum it up in what I have been doing these few weeks, I'll say that life is a disaster...

No it's not about me of course, but for a fw people out there... Nothing seems to go right for them... Just pray that they'll turn the corner soon and hit some solid ground to continue on...

I love Johor. The crayfish there simply rocks. Best I've eaten. Plus I believe that the seafood there is cheaper and better than Newton...

Maybe I should bring mum there, if I can convince her to go to the bandit's land in the first place.

Yay school simply rocks!

Life is good this is coming to the 4th week of school and I am still in my holiday mood! Planning when to go Johor, sing KTV, how to slack the most in hall... Life cannot be better!

Last semester for me to play hard, save up and enjoy graduation trip, think I shall go Taiwan? See how ba life cannot be better. Go church as and when I like, this is what I call a luxurious life. Might not be rich but freedom simply cannot be bought. Govt coming out with budget planning soon - hope they give me yet more $$ for the hike in GST! And I shall make full use of it in less tax areas like Johor =P

By right I should be quite optimistic in life, but hmmm I still am on the negative side. Still don't think Konoha is the place to be in yet, although I do not intend to leave it in the short run.

Anyway, Isa tks a lot for coming out today to show face, and to say that you like the earrings although I think I did a bad job in selecting them haha. Oh and JJ too for jio-ing me to come out. And Shao for helping me in all that I needed haha. Have been missing all of you all... Promise to meet more often k?

School's starting soon, not too bad, at least it is still the first week and I can continue slacking... For the while haha...

These few days are just real bad. Wanted to get more rest by resting, sleeping more. Most often than not, I ended up having nightmares, or a series of them, which really disturbs my rest. This is not good at all...

And the nightmares seemed quite real... Inclusive of ridiculous things like someone hijacking my home phone number... What is this coming to?

The story goes on. Sasuke is unsettled at Konoha for many other reasons. He tries to settle a few sensitive issues with Asuma-sensei, which is only right for him to do. Somehow, after a few interactions, Asuma is not that bad a sensei to be with. At least he tries his best whenever Sasuke approaches him...

Sasuke also appoaches Tsunade directly at times. Tsunade has such a warm smile that can melt frozen blood. It's amazing how much chakra she possesses, she can have some spare to infuse into her smiles despite handling the many matters of Konoha... Of course, she cannot create time though, which explains her busy-ness almost everyday. Plus she spends really lots of time moulding her chakra and perfecting her jitsus.

A hidden nin...

Actually the life of a hidden nin is not that bad after all. As Zabuza once said during Sasuke's first battle, Konoha ninjas train in peace and they have not seen real battles. Yeah a hidden nin is pursued by ANBU all the time and when the ANBU fails to get them, they get branded as traitors who practiced forbidden jitsus and are given a S-rank danger ranking. I prefer to twist the story in favour of these hidden nins.

Hidden nins are the result of failures of the environment they are bred in. Hidden nins are often practicing a different set of jitsus and they are not forbidden, well practiced in other countries such as Sui, but just that since the countries are in conflict most of the time, such techniques are considered forbidden in Konoha. Worse, Konoha ninjas train in peace while expecting them to fight in war when the situation calls for it. Ironic.

To be continued...

Decided to be director and make some play just to entertain myself... Here goes...

Cast: Sasuke, Tsunade, ANBU, Kakashi, Asuma

Sasuke and Kakashi were summoned together with Asuma to Tsunade's. "Sasuke, you will not be in team Kakashi anymore, i need you to go with Asuma. By the way you should be improving in your jutsu, there will come a time you'll need to fight." Sasuke maintained his silence, stepped out of the room after giving a cold glance to Asuma, who replied with his ever-popular smile.

Sasuke returned to his house, to find an unknown figure dashing out it. Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly remembered what he was taught. "You're not to kill a person whom you cannot confirm as an enemy, especially if he is unarmed."

Countless ninjas had bypassed him since he graduated as a Genin in Konoha. Yet, embracing the philosophy of "not killing anyone whom you cannot confirm as your enemy", Sasuke merely carried on training, not knowing how many ninjas that went passed him were of actual threat.

The next day, Sasuke went to the woods which is his favourite training ground. In the midst of training, a hidden nin appeared, armed and identified as one of those in the bingo book. Sasuke withdrew his kunai for the first time for a real battle since he came to Konoha. Before he can engage, Tsunade appeared.

"He might be an enemy, but is he yours?" Since when an enemy has to be allocated?!

"He might be armed, but does he have bloodline limits? Can he perform jutsus?" Since when does an enemy need to have such additional criteria before one can engage?

"Sasuke, you should know that you are a ninja of Konoha, and I have the whole ANBU at my command. Keep your kunai. You should avoid bloodshed this time."

Sasuke sheathed his kunai. It is to no one's surprise that he went to Orochimaru in the end. By the way, how does one know that Konoha is really the good side?
