Is it being broadcast dubbed or subbed?Originally posted by the Bear:ahh.. Hellsing is on..
it's about a gay couple today
A few nights ago, I downloaded the 'raw' video file of the most recent Kaleido Star OVA episode, titled "Legend of the Golden Phoenix: The Layla Hamilton Story". I've already watched all 52 episodes of the original Kaleido Star TV series, and it ranks as one of my all-time favourite animé series, but LotGP:TLHS completely blew me away. Beautiful, poignant, moving. 51 minutes of animated storytelling at its finest. -
original and subbed..
and i've never heard of Kaleido Star -
ooo anime talk again..i can't believe i'm watching prince of tennis..

kopiosatu,Originally posted by kopiosatu:i really need to research more on art schools available in the states so that when i go there on holiday i can visit and enquire in detail.
Would the US Embassy in Singapore be able to provide you with information about arts schools in the US?
When I was researching US universities in Singapore back in the late-80s, the United States Information Service (USIS) office, which was part of the embassy, had a research library that stocked prospectuses from all the major US institutions of higher learning.
The USIS folded back in 1999, but the service might still be available under a different guise. It might be something worth checking out, if you have not already done so.
Good luck!

do you mean that I head down to that place personally and tell them I wanna check out on their universities? -
kopi, don't you have relatives in the US? Can't they put you in touch with one of their friends who's in the field so you can ask him?

Something like that. Just make sure you leave your AR15 at home...Originally posted by kopiosatu:Embassy????

Back in the 80s, the USIS office/library was located in one of the office buildings along Shenton Way. It was always crowded with prospective students researching US universities. The office also occasionally conducted seminars on how to choose and apply for admission into US universities/colleges.
As previously mentioned, the USIS folded in 1999, but the service might still be offered by the US Embassy. After all, there's no shortage of Singaporeans applying for admission to US colleges.
A quick call or visit to the US Embassy might yield the results you seek. -

anyway, it looks like i gotta do these steps
1) apply and get accepted in a school
2) apply for student visa
3) upon graduation, i can use the certificate / degree to apply for a working visa. -
Hello MG: wei, you MIA for a longggg time liao leh. I did missed chatting with you, know?Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Hello, Littlestream!!!

Okay, winter. Hmm....at first weathermen said we were going to have white Christmas but now, they are singing a different tune. Guess it's either going to be sun or rain.
But you should see the snow banks on my boulevard.
Still, it's been cold. But unlike the early 90s. You were in the US too during that time, right? Will you agree, then, it was much colder?
My zoom zoom zoom drives very well. I like it very much. Post pic ah? I got personalized plates leh. Sekali I kena stalkers, how? Maybe I go Mazda site, cut and paste, can?
I've been waiting to show off my cookies but hubby still off work, so no one to dl for me leh.
And you, MG, what's been up your sleeves lately? Any plans for the holidays?
Hey, are you planning to visit Sg in April? I was thinking of one. Want to travel together? No, I don't mean the flight but can plan to be in Sg at the same time mah. Wah, sekali, same hemisphere don't get to meet but then meet in old village eh? -
say.. is the cult leader still around?
how much is the makan thingy? -
Yah, the workload has eased up a little due to the holidays, which is the reason I'm able to participate a bit in here. I thought you said you'd be busy until after Christmas??Originally posted by littlestream:Hello MG: wei, you MIA for a longggg time liao leh. I did missed chatting with you, know?

It was blardy cold earlier this week--if I recall, last Saturday night, we got down to near -10ºF. Now the weathermen are talking about temperatures pushing 40ºF this weekend. Is the weather similarly crazy up in TO?
Yah, I was here back in the early 90s. Can't recall how cold it was, but I do remember the infamous 'Halloween Snowstorm of 1991', during which we got over 36" of snow in a 48-hour period. That was the morning I woke up and couldn't open the patio door because the wind-driven snow had drifted up against and completely covered the door.
Aiyah, just take a pic of your Mazda, blur the license plate out, and post the image here. You mentioned it before, but I can't remember the colour of your Mazda. Is it light grey?
Nah, no special Christmas plans. I'll probably end up getting invited to a good friend's house for Christmas dinner, as has been the case for the last 10 Christmases.
Do you know if the department stores have any after-X'mas sales?
My plan is still to travel to SG sometime in the first half of next year. It would be a hoot if we could meet up there, together with some of the other regulars in this forum! Pity Rhonda won't be around then, though, as she'll probably be pursuing her dream in Australia by that time... -

With regard to step 3, you also have to locate a company that is willing to sponsor your application for the H-1B work visa.Originally posted by kopiosatu:did a search...

Not to sound discouraging, but, as a general rule, most US companies are not willing to go through the hassle of sponsoring an H-1B work visa for a fresh college grad who is a non-citizen with no work experience.
