coming home

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…

that final distance

Yes, I’ve gone through the links and did the editing. Now the page looks less…ermz…crowded?

Re-added my mp3 list and pv/mtv list. I removed it sometime ago coz the whole copyright/downloading issue played up again. Did that for safety reasons. Well, it’s back up now. I don’t need to teach you guys on what to do if you’re interested in something in the list right?

Seriously, I think it’s stupid to try and wipe out everyone who downloads stuff. If I could watch all the Japanese stuff on tv, would I be downloading them? And by sharing stuff around, you can’t deny that you learn about new artistes. I’m the kind who downloads and still buy the originals ok.

Alright…I think my brain is shutting down. I might start blabbering already. Off to sleep now.

*does the Akira “kon-kon” thing* (I know Per does that as well coz she messaged me to tell me that she does it…that girl ar… -_-|||)

Yep yep…the layout’s done. The codes have been edited accordingly. *phew*

I guess I finally decided on something else. Hikki’s “Final Distance” holds so much emotion. Knowing why she sang it makes it all the more touching. Everything just flows together. The song just reminds me to treasure the people around me. Things happen everyday. One moment, someone dear could be here, the next moment gone forever…

I removed the radio blog and calendar. Felt there’s no use for them. I don’t think people really agree with my choice of music. I mean, how many readers actually go listen to the music I put up?

Next up…going to edit the links. Who am I kidding when I started linking every friend’s blog. Ok, being the kaypoh me, I used to look through every blog. The words are “USED TO”. So now I’m just going to link up to blogs and pages that I frequent. Don’t worry, for those who are going to disappear from my links, I haven’t forgotten about you. You will still be in my “Favorites” folder. I do visit your page occasionally, just not as much as those I’ve linked up. =)

no more

by

As from now, my private blog does not exist anymore.

Yes, I had one. But it hasn’t been updated for quite a long while and now I find that well…it isn’t of much use to keep it.

Word Press has password protect functions so that’s enough.

i can’t stand it feeling

by

Sourcing for good quality screenshots, that’s what I’ve been doing ever since after dinner. I’ve sort of decided what to do for my layout banners.

Can never find the time to do up my photo album and portfolio. Or rather I spend all the time downloading loads of stuff. Bleargh. Actually the script has been installed but the codes are just sitting there waiting to be edited. *shakes head*

Really feel like cutting my hair, re-rebonding it and dying it. But it’s kinda pointless to rebond it now since I have to tie it up for work.

Ever since I’ve spent more time with Per, her habit of spotting grammar/spelling mistakes has been passed on to me. I’m not saying that my English is perfect. God knows I might have made tons of mistakes in this entry but as long as they aren’t glaring mistakes, it’s quite fine. Right?

Anyway, it makes me have this “I can’t stand it” feeling to stare at the menu board at my workplace everyday and spot a mistake. The sticker pasted across the picture of the Unagi rice burger reads “temporary not available”. Ahhhhhhhhh…*stamps feet* It should be “temporarily not available” or “temporarily unavailable”. Also, the sticker pasted above the picture of the bear reads “this week offer”. It should be “this week‘s offer”.

This happened sometime ago. James asked me how to spell “unnecessary”. Now, I kinda hate words like that coz I get mixed-up on whether there are double “Cs” or not. You know that kinda thing. Took some time trying to figure it out then he figured it out first. Laughed at me for not knowing how to spell that word. Fine. The next moment I picked up the schedule to check out the time I’m working for the next day. I saw this sentence that made me have the “I can’t stand it” feeling. The sentence: “Do not extend hours of crew unnecessary.” Unnecessarily!!! Now tell me, who’s having the last laugh? >_< This is quite mild compared to what I saw on a poster in Poh Kim. "New realeafe"...which by the way is supposed to mean "new release". *pengz* Luckily the poster didn't stay too long up on the wall...

food hygiene

by

Woke up freakin’ early to attend the food hygiene course. Thought it would only take about 2-3 hours as Sis had said. Ended up sitting through like 6-7 hours of lecture and then doing the 1 hour, 20 MCQ questions paper. I only took like 10 minutes to finish the paper. Mostly all common sense…heh, coz you just have to pick the politically correct answer. I bet if we didn’t sit through the lecture and just went for the paper, we would have passed anyway.

This is like back in primary school where you took Health Education. Or like sitting for the exam for 好公民 in primary school and Civics & Moral Education in secondary school. Just picking the politically correct answers. Haha…it’s like impossible to fail. I remember everyone saying if you failed CME, you have no morals.

Getting quite impatient with Clubbox coz there’s like a ton of things to be downloaded but it’s so freakin’ slow. And I’m not at home during the prime time for download which is in the afternoon. But as long as I get my episodes for 1 Rittoru no Namida and Nobuta Produce, it ain’t that bad.

super aunties

by

Trying to decide who or what to feature on my next layout header. Thinking either Ayu or Yurina. Hmmm…

Argh. Sis went to tell James that I can do rice burgers so he put me at that station today. It’s like a big mistake. Firstly, the kitchen is terribly hot and I hate having my back all wet. Perspiration can roll down my face, neck, whatever…but I HATE HAVING MY BACK ALL WET! Secondly, as I have said, I can’t coordinate well. When there’s like tons of orders, I fumble quite a bit. Then I don’t know what to do and then everything just goes wrong. Thirdly, I lack confidence. I think people are just going to die of hunger while waiting for me to prepare their burgers.

But seriously, the aunties have a lot of patience and faith in me. Which makes me feel a little uneasy coz I’m afraid if something goes wrong, it’s like I’m going to let them down.

Oh yea…sorry to that person who ate the plain dog I prepared. Must have looked pretty gross. Couldn’t master the art of squeezing 6 zig-zags of tomato ketchup without breaking the line. I bet, I BET if I could do it, I would be taking my own sweet time and you would have died of hunger.

This proves that the aunties are super. *salute*

The teriyaki grill broke-down. Must be a sign…that I don’t belong in the kitchen. Put me back as cashier!!! No, I didn’t spoil it ok…although I dislike the management, I’m not so evil to go spoil their equipment. Bleargh.

*gasps* I have only got 6 hours of sleep left…better get going.

spotting the juniors

by

I was watching some clips, trying to clear the unwatched stuff in my folder this afternoon. Started watching this clip of Arashi performing on Music Station sometime in 2003. Performing a medley of Hanasanai, Koi wa Breaky and Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru. Lo and behold…I spotted some familiar faces behind them. One of them got me rather excited. No prizes for correctly guessing who.


Dear dear Massu, forever so genki…


Frankly, I don’t really care about Koyama.

Watching seniors’ performances can be quite entertaining as you can also spot familiar juniors dancing for them.

Oh oh…I got the recent Shounen Club that Massu produced. *dances around*

I’ve decided to reply to comments by directly editing them instead of adding a new comment each time. So now, my reply will be in italics.

Need to find the time to change layouts…hmmm… :/

momentary loss

by

I knew it was going since last night. Although the sore throat was gone, phlegm had sort of built up. My throat felt uncomfortable and as I talked, I could feel the strain. The feeling that my voice was going.

This morning, the voice sort of went. Suddenly I was talking in this very raspy tone. Tired, body aching a little, I knew I needed more rest. So called up and said I wasn’t coming in to work. I made the right choice coz now I’m feeling much better after resting the whole day. My voice decided to come back.

*phew*

Met Per yesterday to pass her some stuff. Then today, something bad happened. *sigh* Whatever’s done is done so I guess just settle the problem and hope for the best.

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have the ability to eavesdrop that well. Not that I want to do it on purpose but sometimes it just happens. I have also said before that I don’t like to be suspicious of people but sometimes people leave me with no choice. I happened to catch a statement that I think was referring to me. To make things worse, it came from someone whom I dislike. I would be lying if I said it didn’t affect me.

I am trying. I really am. I know I have lousy coordination skills thus I am doing my job at the pace I am comfortable with. I make mistakes but I have learnt to reproach myself less, instead, keep calm and be more confident so that I do a better job. I seem to be ok with things most of the time but I have a fragile side as well. I believe everyone has their fragile moments.

You know how it’s like to be having that good feeling and then a sudden statement just strikes you down. Luckily it happened towards the end of the day and besides that person, nobody else said anything more to fuel it.

My hand is getting better…I guess…
