worrying issues before leaving

by

Just reformatted my computer. Doing the tedious task of updating the computer and re-installing all the necessary programs now.

The best part is…I forgot to backup the folder with my NANA anime, some old episodes of Shonen Club and Kindaichi (the one with Kame). I’m only irritated about the NANA anime. Although they are the last 14+ episodes which won’t take long to download again, I thought I was done with downloading anime. Recently, bestie’s friend got a warning letter. The first time I know of someone closer getting into trouble. Bestie’s friend downloads loads of anime, which is probably how she got into trouble. So scary… In bestie’s words “what if I come home to find that letter sitting in my mailbox?”

Although I have abandoned the idea of packing my room, I still can’t help worrying that my family will have a hard time packing my stuff later. So, I keep toying with the idea that I should still continue the packing even though I know I really don’t have the time.

I’m worried that I’m packing too many clothes. Half of my tees are in the luggage. Most of which will only be worn in late spring/summer/early autumn. But coz most of the time I wear tees, I just can’t bear to lessen the pile. Moreover, some tees need to be packed in coz they go with certain skirts. Without them, I wouldn’t have something to match when I wear that particular skirt.

And I still can’t get over the fact that I’m leaving in a day’s time and will be back only next year. It’s like stepping out of your comfort zone…

more farewell prez

by

I met bestie on Saturday. We wanted to take neoprints so I could bring them with me to the States. Obviously we’re stuck in the past. We were still thinking that neoprints cost around $7-$8. Ya, right. It’s $10-$11 now. WTH! $10 can almost buy me a good meal. So, we decided to save the money and take our own “neoprints”. We sat in one of the neoprint booths and whipped out my digicam.

Had my little farewell party yesterday. Went CS-ing with Sis, Per, Mea, Jiemin and Carol. Olivia’s songs are nice but I guess they just don’t suit me. I sound very very weird singing them. Only “A Little Pain” sounds ok. Unfortunately, they didn’t have “Shadow of Love”.

Grace joined us for dinner later at Spageddies. And they all presented me with a handmade board with their little messages.

Massu~~~ :love: Thanks, girls!

Today, Chloe gave me a farewell gift. I couldn’t go down to town so Sis received it on my behalf. Chloe gave me a very pretty dress. Thanks, Mrs Nakamaru! :heart:

I think I should let everyone know this. Yes, I love the gifts. They have been done/picked out with love. However, for those who didn’t give me anything and feel bad about it, don’t be. Meeting you guys was good enough. It isn’t about gifts but more of how we feel about each other. I know I have a lot to say to you all but sometimes the words just escape from my mind. What matters is that when I see you all and we talk to each other, I can feel you care.

farewell prez from 7ners

by

I have been spending too much time playing some games which got boring after a few days. They got boring coz I couldn’t get the desired result fast enough and I ended up looking for cheats online. They also got boring partly coz they were trials which shut off after 1 hour and they gave me only 5 minutes extended play each time I double-clicked the icon. So imagine the number of times I got interrupted while playing. Anyway, I decided to delete them all. Don’t wanna clutter Maru-chan.

I missed out on blogging due to the extensive game playing. I want to blog about the farewell presents I received from 7ners.

I got a huge card from them last Wednesday. After a long time, that 7ners meeting had everyone present. That meeting was meant to welcome home Pwen and PK, celebrate Per’s birthday and farewell party for me. As I was reading the messages in the card, I really wanted to cry. Your words and feelings mean a lot to me…

This Wednesday, I met up with Pwen, Per and CJ. They presented me with a photo collage and a present. Surprise, surprise. They gave me a cap and gloves.

The gloves look normal when you look at them like that but they are cuter when worn coz your thumbs would be pink and the rest of your fingers yellow.

I was kinda shocked they got me gloves coz I already bought a pair. Plus I have an old pair from ice-skating years ago. Anyway, thanks for the presents. I still love the gloves! :heart: The gloves I bought are pink.

I have a lot more I want to say but I’ll leave it for the next entry. It’s way past bedtime…

the wonders of the webcam

A few days ago, I was telling Per I got my hair dyed again and it looks very golden. She got all excited wanting to see how I looked like. Thus, we began webcamming. And of course, it ain’t fun when you don’t do stupid things. :laugh:

Per took the screenshots. Captions are the original filenames.

I don’t own those shades. It was given free by Style magazine which belongs to Sis. Picture quality is quite lousy since my teeth look like one big sheet of white. :sweat:

Luckily the stupid eraser wasn’t a picture of a snake…

There goes my reputation. Bah, what reputation?

minefield

by

Packing of my room continues. Suddenly, the room looks like a minefield.

Once I got tired of packing, Maru-chan became my companion among the mess.

My friend, THIS is called “messy”. Previously, the walkway next to my bed was almost totally covered but the stuff were in stacks so it wasn’t messy. I’m sitting here blogging away while the room is still in minefield state. I have an hour to clear it before jumping into bed. :sweat:

clearing the mountains

by

After today, I’m proud to say that I can see some floor at my side of the room! :yay: I spent some time clearing part of the mountains and I got one fifth…ermz…one sixth of it cleared. I need to clear everything in my room before I leave since my family will be moving my stuff for me.

頑張れ!

maru-chan genki desu

Ever since Maru-chan could connect to the internet wirelessly at home, I have been thinking how good could my router be. James already found it strange that my router didn’t have any antennas. Alas, today was the chosen day to test it out.

Hahaha…I can connect to the net from my room! :laugh: Unfortunately, moo-moo has to become the cushion to prop up Maru-chan and the tissue box has become my makeshift mousepad.

I am so bored. I got tired while watching NANA and fell asleep. I feel like bringing Maru-chan out to meet the world but the bag is rather bulky and heavy…

farewell party

by

I planned to blog but I’m really tired and have a headache so I’ll keep what I want to say short and sweet.

After thinking over, I am not going to organise to meet anyone before I go off to study. Why should I plan my own farewell party/meeting? If you think you wanna see me, you jolly well plan to meet me. I know I sound kinda arrogant about it and I probably might piss a few people off but hey, it’s true.

Ok, that’s it. Good night.

answer the call

NANA!!! Hahaha… :laugh:

07.07.07 Live Earth. The day that we are supposed to “wake up” and realise we are destroying our home. I didn’t need this day to remind me of pollution, the greenhouse effect and global warming. I learnt about this a long time ago when Dad presented me with a set of 4 books on pollution. I loved those books! :heart: Must go search for them and take a photo… 💡

We’re told/advised to wear green to show our support. Hey, I did wear green! But, I think it’s kinda just all bullshit. After today, everybody is going back to their boring little lives and forget the whole message. We don’t need local actors and actresses to tell us they are “NOT EXAGGERATING” when probably all of them drive cars. More cars on the road = more pollution, no? It’s not like you’re going to trash out your car and take public transport to work tomorrow right?

7 concerts in 7 countries, just to create awareness. What happened to saving energy? The lights, sound equipment etc…they don’t need electricity to work? I bet most of the people watching the concerts (whether live or at home) are not bothered about “answering the call”. They probably just want to see that famous star perform. I’m not pointing fingers at others without pointing one at myself. I too, wanted to watch 大塚 愛 and 倖田 來未’s performances.

What I mean is, the end of the world is inevitable. Already the effects of global warming are getting worse each year. Why? Coz technology is becoming more and more advanced. Humans no longer use primitive methods to go about with their daily tasks. New gadgets are being invented each day which as time goes by, becomes a necessity in our lives. Yes, we can all do our little parts in delaying the end of the world but the question is, are you willing to? Until you have seriously thought about that, you can stop acting all smug about “answering the call”.

See, this entry is in green. I’m showing my support. :yay: Haha… :laugh:
