practise what you preach continuation

Continuing where I stopped…

Went down to town with Sis after work yesterday. Met Sis’s friend, Ja-son at Kino. Omg…this guy is damn funny. He has some really weird theories. Like how everything will be legal one day. So he’s going to be thrown in prison for something but he won’t sit in there for long coz whatever he’s done is going to be legal and then he can go sue everyone for putting him in prison in the first place. -_-|||

And he pointed out something which I haven’t thought of. Heard of gangsters collecting what they call “protection fees”? Tax is the government’s way of collecting the “protection fee”. So you pay up, they don’t put you in jail and who protects you? The army. Wonderful.

Had to go for training at 8am this morning. In the manager’s words, “so you all can stop complaining that you haven’t got proper training”. Depriving me of my sleep AGAIN. The minute the training was over, went home to get some more sleep. Didn’t wake up till 3pm. No interruptions as well. *jumps for joy* Ah…the sleep was well-deserved.

Was supposed to meet Xianglin but my dear best friend has got dengue fever. Hope you get well soon! Damn those mozzies!

Went down to town with Sis to meet a few friends. Per was in town too so she joined us.

Ahhhhhh…the owner of the clubbox with the subbed dramas has decided to close down her box. Where am I going to get the last episode of 1 Rittoru no Namida? *panics*

being realistic

This drama is too sad yet so meaningful. You just can’t help but let the tears fall. After watching this, I’m sure you will look at your life differently. That when you face problems, no matter what, you will still have that light at the end of the tunnel to guide you. At least you will not need to feel your way through the dark.

A rainbow is pretty but does not last long. She is like a rainbow. Although she cannot live a normal life like everyone else, she brings hope to the people around her.

And suddenly, the download is moving so fast. Good coz then I can get to watch (and sob) over episode 10 of 1 Rittoru no Namida.

Christmas is coming…my favourite holiday. But somehow I just can’t get excited over it this year. Maybe coz I’m so freakin’ poor and lazy this year. Not writing any christmas cards. If anyone wants to give me any xmas gift, make sure it’s money (ahemtwentybucksandaboveahem). I’m not being greedy, I’m being realistic. HAHAHA…

how fascinating

I don’t think Google Earth will ever fail to fascinate me.

Today’s mission: Try to locate uncle Inada’s home. The one we stayed in the last 2 visits to Osaka.
Status: Mission aborted. HAHAHA…

Instead I found placemarks for Donald Trump’s plane, Lizzie Borden’s house and Amityville house.

And after searching for some time, I finally got placemarks for certain spots in Osaka. Hep Five being the closest to uncle Inada’s home.

x marks the spot

After reading Pwen’s blog entry, being the super boliao person that I am, I downloaded Google Earth and tried to locate where I stay. Yes, I have nothing better to do…hahaha…

I must say that locating my stupid block took me a damn long time. Searched online for help. Got to an online street directory that had Google Earth placemarks for specific locations.

Finally…


“X” marks the spot.

How much time did I spend on doing this? A good one hour.

sea of red

I went to the Mayday concert with Sis yesterday. It was like a sea of red in Expo. The band had mentioned that the theme for the night was red. It was the first time that a concert was held at the Max Pavilion at Expo. I was keen to find out how good the venue was. Suntec’s security is crap, people can almost do anything they want. Indoor stadium is good, try anything funny and you’ll get kicked out.

Well, as I overheard someone mention, the venue looked like some warehouse. I would imagine something like what some countries like to hold punk rock concerts in?

Anyway, I was a little amused since 2 doors away, City Harvest church had just finished their church service. Oh my…they have expanded to the East now. *shudders* It’s just me and my little observation/opinion on Christian churches. Ok, better stop now before I offend anybody.

Our seats weren’t very close to the stage. But I guess that was alright coz the concert was great. So fun…everyone so high.

I don’t know but I seem to have toned down on the whole star-chasing thing. I guess coz the initial kick you get out of doing all this has worn off after some time since these stars just keep coming back. I suppose if NewS were to come to Singapore it’ll be different. Hell yea…I bet I would be running all around.

*sigh* I guess I’m not writing a good entry here coz I can’t seem to think of what to say.

coming home

[edited on 10 Dec at 1.13am]
I forgot to mention that I called Per to bug her on telling me her flight home so that I may go see her at the airport. Looking at my clock which registered the time as 4+pm, I did the math…which would be around 8+am in UK and decided Per should be up since breakfast is supposed to be served around 7+am. A sleepy voice answered the phone. Oopz…I woke her up from her nice little snooze. I know she won’t be able to get back to sleep then since she mentioned before that once she’s woken up, she can’t go back to sleep.

So sorry dear…

Per is coming home soon~~~ Yay!

Pwen is home!!! Yay!

Why is episode 9 of 1 Rittoru no Namida downloading SOOOOOO slowly?! Can’t bear to wait. The previous episode was so freakin’ sad. You try to put yourself in each person’s shoes and you feel the pain of that person. Like how the real Aya said, she saw the effort put in by her classmates to give her a good farewell when she had to leave the school for medical reasons and she felt touched. But what she hoped to hear was “Aya, please don’t leave.” Everyone knew that that day would come, it was inevitable. But yet all she yearned for was a simple sentence.

And now I treasure my life so much more…
