it stopped

by

Yay! It has finally stopped raining and I can actually see the clear blue sky. After like 3-4 days of non-stop rain, even if it stopped for awhile, the sky was always grey. So dreary. You’ll be looking up and wondering “Oh gawd, when is it going to stop?”

And each time I was walking downstairs, I had to look out for earthworms so as not to squash any. Each time it rains like that, their homes get flooded so they’ll have to come out. It’s disgusting. One day, although I told myself to look out for them on the ground I’m treading on, I decided to get a little more curious and looked for them in the grass. I saw one and got so disgusted. See no evil manz…

Everyone keeps asking me whether I permed my hair. NO, I DIDN’T!!! It’s naturally (and horribly) curly/wavy. It’s just that I didn’t go rebond it this time.

Per wanted us to go to Japan so we could take part in the adult ceremony or at least watch one since it’s our year. Anyway, P and Kame totally stole all the limelight at the ceremony. Expected. There’s quite a few 1985 JE guys…P, Koki, Junnosuke, Tacchon and Jun Hasegawa. Kame, although he’s born in 1986 but his birthday is before March so he takes part in this year’s ceremony. The whole clip only focussed on the NewS boy and the KAT-TUN boys, leaving poor Tacchon out! It’s like history repeating itself. When Takki had his ceremony, he and Tsubasa stole the limelight, leaving poor Sho out.

english vs. mandarin

by

Just met up with Per and Pwen. Had dinner and a long chat. It actually feels good chatting with them…well, after work today. Simply coz I’m more comfortable conversing in English. At my workplace, Mandarin is the choice language spoken. Even the people who are bilingual, it seems they prefer conversing in Mandarin. Or it’s obvious that their Mandarin is better than their English.

I think my brain can’t switch from language to language fast enough or something coz I’ll be conversing in Mandarin and when I switch to English, it seems to come out all weird. Ends up like I’m blabbering some nonsense and a puzzled look will be painted on their faces. Then again, I don’t think I’m that good at conversations. Sometimes I can’t find the right words to express what I want to say.

Everytime I try to talk something in-depth in Mandarin with Aunty Hui Chuen, I feel I’m just going one whole round before coming to the point. In my mind, I know what I want to say in English but I have to tell my brain “Now, translate each sentence in Mandarin”. Although at the end of the day, however “horrible” the conversation ends up, she gets what I’m trying to say. But there are moments where I can see that she’s starting to get a little lost.

Speaking of work, I was doing a little more kitchen work today. I don’t know when they have become so confident that I can handle the setter’s job (making normal burgers). Omg…you can tell which burgers were made by me coz the wrapping is terrible. Rice burgers are much easier to wrap as they are generally less “bulky”. I can handle when there’s not many people. Hey, I’m s.l.o.w ok… I’m always amazed at how the aunties can do it so fast, so effortless. But I guess that’s from experience.

有时候，我觉得我越帮越忙。I think I’ve said this many times, please don’t hold so much confidence in me coz I don’t think I have that same level of confidence in myself. Without your confidence, when I fail it won’t feel so bad coz I’m only answerable to myself. If not, I’ll feel terrible, like I’ve let you down…

OMG…I’m going to pengz here…OHKURA SMOKES??!! *image of Ohkura crumbles*

I know I shouldn’t be too surprised that a JE boy smokes since it’s common for the Japanese to drink and smoke. And you’ll be raising an eyebrow, asking how come they don’t die of lung/liver cancer and still live to a ripe old age. But c’mon…TACCHON??!! Nice, handsome TACCHON??!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

If Massu smokes too…that’s it. My heart is so gonna bbbbbuuuuuuurrreeeeeekkkkk…

memories

These few days, Crystal Kay’s “Boyfriend -Part II-” has been playing in my mind. I guess it wouldn’t have been that much of an impact had Per not told me that Ohkura cried over that song. Made me curious to know what the lyrics meant.

Just changed my wallpaper. Uchi-kun. 2 people from the forums went to the NewS concert! I’m so jealous!!! =P Anyway, Uchi hasn’t rejoined. Wonder when will Johnny-san let him return. Uchi-kun, do come back soon! Everybody misses you!

Yep, have been downloading quite a few concerts. Morning Musume, Johnny’s countdown, Berryz Koubou… Got the latest Berryz Koubou concert, the one with Maiha’s graduation. “Bye bye, Maiha ne~” Somehow this quote is stuck in my mind.

My computer only listens to me. Twice Sis touched it and the mouse hung when all along nothing bad happens when I’m using it. Haha…

I got back my cashiering test paper. Yea…*rolls eyes* the refresher course that James held. Lost 2 marks…one from a careless mistake. Damn! Could have gotten full marks…blah ah.

meetups

by

Met up with 7ners on Monday. Been a long time since it was full attendance.

Met up with my dear best friend, Xianglin on Tuesday. Walking around town, looking at stuff…

Air-con unit broke down. Will only be repaired on Saturday. Have to tolerate sleeping with the fan for these few days which isn’t that bad. Except that since air-con has this drying effect, my face feels more oily in the morning when I wake up.

Donald has joined the hidamari no tami gang on the table!

2006. I don’t make new year resolutions coz I don’t believe in them. You’re bound to break them anyway. Well well well, spent the last of 2005 with my family and Per. Dinner was to celebrate Sis’s birthday. I think we spent our countdown in the taxi trying to get home for the countdown. Anyway, big deal.

Got a haircut and new hairstyle for the new year. Bye bye to the long hair. Shoulder-length and with highlights now. Didn’t rebond the hair this time. So with the highlights, gone a little more dry. *sigh* I’ll never be happy with my hair.

Our trip to Malaysia was a short one. Visiting friends and relatives. I got myself 2 skirts, a tee, a purse and 3 dvds. I would have splurged RM119 on this pair of black Mickey sneakers if they had my size but *sigh*…

January has begun. Which means…Gachibaka is starting soon! More Massu~~~ *grinz*

but i am…

I’m home but I spent the last 5 hours playing games and getting some stuff in order. Now that I’m done with that stuff and am ready to read blogs and update my own, I’m too tired.

Anyway, to end off this rather short entry, my long long hair is going to be “chopped” off. After a year of keeping it to this length, getting rather annoyed with it. Decided that it’s time once again for a hair cut.

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*
