horrors of fogging

by

*wails* I absolutely hate it when they fog our block. It means the kitchen will be totally out of bounds coz it’ll be strewn with dead and half-dead roaches. And for the next 2 days, it’ll be wise not to open the chute.

The windows weren’t open coz I was in the study room the whole time. I heard and saw them fogging the opposite block. Thought they wouldn’t fog ours. Who knows, when I opened the door to answer the phone…I was greeted by a very smelly house. Gawd…I could have died.

Even going out will be a bad choice. Coz the floors downstairs will also be strewn with roaches. *wails*

Let me tell you something even more disgusting. After fogging, it’s poison to the roaches right? Ya…they kinda bleed or something. There’s this brownish juice that leaks out of their bodies. I can see all the disgusted faces now.

I wonder why they keep fogging our area. And stop laughing, it ain’t funny. It’s tormenting.

*lol* Having fun checking through all my media files I downloaded. Discovered this one by Power98. The one where they did Star Wars in Hokkien. It’s as funny as the Wu Jian Dao CDPro2 one.

Thanks for the compliments though I think this layout isn’t that great. Still got a lot to improve.

Heh…I’ve just got my lazy butt to work. Spent time today to backup the stuff on my computer. Getting ready to reformat.

Not really lazy lahz. Spent the last few nights doing some vcd watching and sewing. Almost done with the piece I’m sewing.

shrek and donkey

by

Watched “Shrek 2” with Sis, James, Timmy, James’s mum (Joyce) this morning. The movie’s hilarious. Especially the part where Pinocchio and gang came to free Shrek.

And I like the donkey. Haha. Although he’s considered to be the most irritating in the movie.

Gosh! The little boy can really eat. Timmy finished a Big Breakfast from Mac all by himself. After the movie, he could still eat an Ebi rice burger when the rest of us were like still full from breakkie.

Went home. Caught up on sleep since I woke up pretty early today although I slept at 4am.

Hmmm…am I slow or something? Did the post office just increase the price to send a letter? I used the S.A.M machine to buy a stamp. However I realised that there wasn’t an option to buy a 22 cent stamp but an option to buy a 23 cent stamp instead. If I recall correctly, it used to be an option to buy a 22 cent stamp.

Yay. I’m meeting Xianglin on Monday.

pointless

by

Am working on a new layout. However, I think I have a big problem now. I forgot to leave a space for the tagboard. So now gotta rearrange the whole thing again. So maybe it won’t be up till tomorrow. Make me happy for nothing nia. *grrr*

I think the question of what did I do today would be quite pointless to be asked these few days. It’s becoming routine at the moment. I watch vcds till the early hours of the morning…4 or 5 am. Sleep till around 3pm. Wake up and watch more vcds/tv. On the computer. Return to watching vcds around 2am.

Quite an unhealthy lifestyle but I only get to do it in the holidays so there. Most of the vcds in the house are not yet watched and we keep getting more. The store room is now named “the black hole”. No need to ask why coz I think you get the idea.

I just finished watching a Japanese drama, “Don’t Be A Crybaby”. It’s a relatively old drama already. There’s Kyoko Fukada and Kelly Chen acting in it.

Wondering what should I watch next.

keera

Had BBQ on Monday. Maybe it ain’t the same coz I think it to be? Anyhow, I was thinking of bringing a torchlight and my notebook so I can write while sitting near the sea. Ditched the idea anyway. Maybe one day I shall try. Haha. Nad, maybe one night if you’re free, we go to the beach and sit there and talk?

Thanks to Paul all the same for the food, cooking, etc…

*stretch*

Accompanied Sis to Eastpoint to go get her trial pair of lenses. Told her to reconsider when it turned out she has astigmatism.

Met Per at TM coz she wanted to get her slippers from OP. OP has a storewide 20% sale now. But must get minimum 2 items and above. So I got a skirt. YES! Finally they have A-line skirts. They should have more. Per also thought the skirt is pretty. So she might get it too. Yay.

Went to Per’s house to get back my boardgames. It’s been parking in her house since last New Year’s eve. Anyway, Sis wanted to see Keera too.

Per had fun playing with Keera. Hmmm…but I think Keera’s the best looking cat I’ve seen so far. He doesn’t have dirty yellow or green eyes. He’s got this cute inquisitive look. Haha…Per must be smiling from end to end now. But Keera’s a little on the “pui pui” side.

finding the good ol’ memories

by

Seems everyone is clearing out their cupboards and finding stuff that brings back the good ol’ memories.

I need a bigger book cupboard. My books are spilling everywhere. There’s already 2 piles on my bed.

I should have done that yonks ago. Everything is piling up everywhere. On the table, under the table, beside the bed etc.

Mum keeps scaring both of us about the roaches living among our stuff. Nad…stop laughing. I don’t want to get tormented by one crawling among my stuff. That happened a few days ago and once is enough.

WWJD?

Wahahahaha…I finished watching “Winter Sonata” liaoz. What shall I “conquer” next? Actually I haven’t finished watching “Antique Cake Shop”. But the vcds are quite screwed up…or maybe it’s the player. I think I really regret not buying “Kizarazu Cat’s Eye” or “Pika*Nchi”. Okie dokie…need to get out of the room coz Sis is sleeping.

Can one person alone make a difference? Can one person alone bring the truth to light? If it isn’t possible, wouldn’t be walking away the only way? But what if your heart doesn’t want to?

Reading a blog, staring at the title of an Ayu song. Oh, how the title stands out at this point of time. I think I’m way past anger now. More like the disappointment is settling in. I realise I’ve changed. I would no longer do some things which would be considered as childish and rash.

If there’s one thing I learnt from my transition of being an 18 year old to a 19 year old *although it really doesn’t matter now since they are just numbers*, that would be “acceptance”. I vaguely remember a verse from the bible which said something like “help me lord, to accept the things I cannot change”.

But really, WWJD? “WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?”

Was looking for the lyrics for some time already. Sis recommended this song of Shin’s that has meaningful lyrics. It’s “Hai Kuo Tian Kong”. I particularly like this line.

“冷漠的人　謝謝你們曾經看輕我　讓我不低頭　更精采的活”
(English translation: To those people who leave/ignore me, thanks for looking down on me, for it has made me not give up but continue living a better life.)

Wahahahaha…stupid game. *zip* Not so stupid game after all. Since I’m the one playing it. Wahahahaha… Bor lahz…it’s one of those brainless games on neopets. Yesssssssss…*make sure you drag the “s”* I do play neopets now and then ok. Got nothing better to do your problem huh.

Soffie, you better help me with this one. I started really watching Buffy only around the third or fourth season. So maybe it’s connected to something before that. What’s the first evil? That vampire…is he the master? Whoa…means it’s already about the middle of the season I guess. Coz something big and bad always arrives around the middle of the season.

Met up with Per and Nad. Had dinner at Milenia’s Yoshinoya. Thanks for having dinner with me. Thanks for being there. Better now…

Yesterday night I almost died when my computer started this whole 60 seconds system shutdown thingy on me. Wah liew…I meant to reformat my computer but I haven’t totally backed up all my stuff. I thought I got that virus. But it’ll be quite ridiculous coz I downloaded the update already. Well…seems fine when I restarted the computer. *phew* Nahz…I think occasionally, my computer just likes to be a little cranky and scare me.

Time for my daily dose of “Winter Sonata”. I’m almost done watching it. The most stupid thing is Mr Bae Yong Jun has to get into an accident twice just to get back his memory?! How can one’s life be so miserable? Gawd…I’d rather die in my second or third accident. Unless the big guy up there says it’s not time and won’t let me through his pearly gates.

And you know what, some people just disgust me.

mood-less

I wanted to blog but then I really don’t have the mood right now.

Wanted to blog about the episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer I just watched.

Well, perhaps tomorrow. Yea…

Maybe I’ll just go watch “Winter Sonata” till the wee hours of morning again. Haha.

trains and mrts

by

The previous posts have been archived so for those who haven’t read about my Japan trip and want to, go to the archives.

Since I’ve tagged a fair bit about trains and MRTs, let’s talk about that.

Like I tagged, in Japan, the train service has normal, fast and rapid. Normal, the train stops at every stop. Fast, the train stops at certain stops. Rapid, the train stops at only major stops. There is no difference in train fare for normal and fast trains. However for rapid trains, there is a need to pay 500 yen more.

Mum and Dad travelled by train to some place. They didn’t know about the extra fee for the rapid trains. So they happily got on one. That was until the train master came round checking tickets and asked them to pay 500 yen more.

If you’re thinking that perhaps the train master is trying to con my parents, I don’t think so. I believe that generally, all Japanese are honest people. Everything is done in the open so there can be no accusations of cheating and whatsoever.

At the shops, you do not put the money for payment on the table or hand it to the salesperson. There is a tray on the counter to leave the money there.

Every item scanned, the salesperson will announce how much it cost. He/she will also announce the total cost, how much you pay and the change if any. If you pay in a big note *10000 yen and above* for something that cost very little. The salesperson will count the notes for the change one by one.

Ok ok…I have strayed from the main topic.

So maybe our MRT can adopt the normal and fast train method? But then again, I think they better not mess around with the system anymore.

Look at what trouble has been caused coz of the circle line. First it was Nicoll Highway. Then it was AYE. I haven’t exactly read about what happened to the AYE. It was reported by Desmond when we came back to Singapore.

I say, if more stuff happens that’s related to the circle line, perhaps the circle line is not meant to exist.

Okie…here comes the pics…

This is a one-day ticket. Single trips cost around 200-300 yen. So if you’re making more than 4 trips a day, it is cheaper to get this. With this ticket that costs 850 yen (around S$13.60), it allows you to make unlimited trips in a day. I wanted to buy a single trip ticket, the cheapest one to keep as a souvenir but I forgot. Single trip tickets get “eaten” up.

Yes yes…Aiba-kun! Kakkoii ne~ The uchiwas I bought from the Johnny’s shop. The left one is from the 2003 Summer concert. The right one is from the 2003-2004 Winter concert. Ok ok…Per, your Sho-kun is also kakkoii. Hehe…

This is my yukata~~~ *sings* Had to take this pic while Mum was out. She folded it nicely and put it in a box already. If she knew I took it out just to take a pic, she’ll kill me. *points* The main yukata. The yellow piece is the obi *the one that goes around the waist*. The strings to tie. Then the pink “bao bao” *bag*. Hee…
