千百四十一：荷物が届いた！

オレー！クロネコサビースの単身プランで送った荷物がやっと届きました。

my stuff has finally arrived from Japan. what a long trip my stuff has been through.. from osaka to tokyo hQ of Yamato logistics through overnight truck on 6th July. then from Tokyo, all the boxes boarded the vessel MOL on 18th July and departed for singapore. woohoo. on 28th july, the boxes finally arrived in singapore and 31st july, i finally saw my miffy stuff and my kimura takuya magazines (=^-^=)

went to my dad's office today and woke at 6.30am -.- so . sleepy. i was almost asleep at 4pm and was lolling my head on the arm chair by that time. there is no broadband in the office (i think i said that b4 ..) meaning i can't blog, i can't chat, i can't read news or surf net. but i guess its easy work for some pocket money to tide me through these times of poverty. really feels like poverty compared to when in japan, when i don't even have to think twice when buying a drink. sianz...

lack of pictures.. lack of conversation with the outside world. makes me a very boring blogger. -.- zz dead tired. time to sleep ..

千百四十： 21st Bday BBQ

ahh.. to be 21 again.

i went to shirley'S bday chalet. i tot it was a BBQ but it turned out to be a catered dinner. just as well cos i didN't really feel like eating bbq stuff. turns out i was the earliest when i was already late. and i didn't know anyone there, and ended up talking to her relatives who were quite friendly. hoho. yah. watched channel 8 the whole night.

collected my major plan item today, and went for a much needed haircut. the stylist got tired after a while and asked me if i hadnt cut my hair in a long time. haha. i would say 2-3 months? cos the last time was the straightening event at furosho that wasted money and my hair now was wavy and funny colour of 3-4 tones .. and the styist was like wow. wat happend? and she managed to give me a mahagony to even out the colours into the dark even colour. hoho. and she blew dried my hair until it looks so straight. i think straight hair better for me la. i look more chio. ^-^ i would put up a pic but my camera is with my sis in london. argh. come back soon!!

千百三十九：The Lake House

すごくロマンチック！！！　☆

romantic .. very romantic. but the ending was kinda irrational.

the whole movie, even though past and future communicating with each other, everything actually added up, everything happened for a reason right until the part when the tree sprouted overnight. (as the trailer showed) but. it was sweet. although keanu reeves looked very old and unshaven and not handsome. hmm. he seems to have put on weight? but wonderful acting from sandra bullock.. lovable.. and you really can feel her depression and her loneliness.. and the dog.. there's something strange about the dog.. but she really ups the comedy value in the movie. rating is 4 out of 5. .i dun like the ending. cos its too mind-boggling.

watched the movie with caleb whom i haven't met for at least 5 years? tot it would be strange at first, cos we had been quite unfrenly to each other towards the end of my uni days but i guess the similarities of living overseas (him in france for 2 years) and our allergy to the singapore air (he also sneeze alot after he came back!!) started us chatting online over the past 2 years ago. so yah. just frenly chatting today and he is still in school doing his masters. wah. neverending school life. and i had to be having my bad cold day. sneezed non-stop the whole day. throughout the movie, on the bus, on the train, and i used up like 6 packets of pocket-tissues! :x i felt like dying at the end of the day, now just taken a pill. so .. i have to go sleep now...

i hope i get well soon. hehe. nitezz

千百三十八：Blistered Skin

today is one of those rambling posts about my day targetted at those who are really bothered to find out what i did.. hehe.. so don't say i didn't warn you..

helped out at my dad's office. and i really did work! helped him cut off the insulation on cables.. & i cut until my skin kena blistered. cos as i cut off the insulation, i had to wriggle them out one piece by one piece and my palm kept rubbing against the naked wire ends until they cut a piece of skin off. -.- it hurts, especially when water reaches it and the plaster not helping much. ouch.. and u're forced to work much more efficiently when there is no broadband, only dial-up internet.. and the work totally don't require internet. haiz.

ah. i am so dying to reveal my big plans but i can'T. not until they are executed, at least. argh arg argh.

my sis is in amsterdam today. so fun!! she gets to see the real holland while i only saw a make-believe land in Kyushu. ...humph!

and today's jap lesson. think i killed a ton of brain cells. the 2nd half was taught by the principal of the jap sch himself. and he made us read essay after essay after news articles. tiring to say the list, it was super difficult. so many kanji i didn't know existed, that i didn't know the pronunciation of came up. usually when u are doing silent reading, kanji u can just guess the meaning when u skim past, but when u are forced to read it allowed, u are forced to acknowledge that u cant read it at all. and the principal, read so fast, we were forced to use every ounce of concentration we had just to catch those kanjis we dunno and write down the hiragana for reading later. and hence i am worn out and cant even think enough to post something decent. will come up with something better, soon i hope.. zzz .. nite nite..

千百三十七：the road to .. freedom ?

yah right.. the word freedom is still .. far away.. but at least one month has almost gone by, leaving only 23 months of the bond remaining. hoho.

and i just downgraded my starhub plan, to the $25.20 one ? PowerValue 100 i think. took away caller-id and wat nots.. the extra stuff cos i seriously seldom use the line much liao . think i shall use that number if anione needs to call me back.and i wanted to downgrade to the 19.95 plan actually. but apparently i need to pay upfront $100 if i wanna use that. wat... crap. so ended up with the cheaper plan, with all day free incoming, more outgoing talk time and more sms apparently . hmm. i don't understand how they price their stuff, it totally don't make sense to me. gotta pay $10 to change plans too. eat money sia!!

grr ok .. only 11 months left i must 我慢！

and. . . hmm ok i think that's all for today. alot of crappy talk above.

千百三十六：big Plans

making some big plans. but hopefully will be able to go through with it. cos of the dumb EDB, i can't do anithing, go anywhere. it sux!!!

pocket abit tight also. this weekend got a 21st bday party to attend. dunno if i really wanna go. abit weird, cos i wouldnt noe most people and i have to buy presents oso. haiz. haiz. was in a great mood today until nite where i still havent found the key to my big plan yet. hopefully, my sister's having fun in London.

千百三十五：lewd discussions

had a lewd discussion with my fren today online. he complained it was very hot. and i told him to take off his clothes and walk around the house stark naked (or in just underwear) because thats wat i would do. and he sounded surprised to hear that girls do such things and that i am the 2nd girl to tell him that. hah. is it that surprising?



*cooling off.. in just our underwear...*

after all, girls are humans too. we perspire like mad if the weather's hot, and if its our own room, with aircon, and the drapes shut and the doors locked, is it so weird that we do that?



*of cos guys would probably wish that we hang around in groups in just our underwear.. *

yah but seriously.. its a good way to cool off on a super hot day if ur aircon works fine of cos.

as for me, my body is seriously abnormal. i am having a cold or an allergy, i dunno which, and i used up like half a box of tissues today, trying to clear my nose. it would stop once in a while but after that i would be attacked by huge sneezing fits. and it starts again. and my mum said that my nose looks bigger, after i returned from Japan. i would say its cos i been blowing my nose almost 24 hours everyday since i touched down in singapore. why!!>!? everyday lor! when i go to the malls, the colds would taper off and all would be fine until i reach home again. and within 30 min, my nose would start to itch and run again. -.- its seriously tiring and towards the end of the day, i was beginning to feel faint. dehydration due to my runny nose. now, that's a first.

千百三十四：Sri Lankans. :(

sent my sis to the airport for her flight to London with my parents at the ungodly hour of 5am. (-.-) met calvin's parents for the first time and it was kinda awkward. meeting my sister's bf's parents. didn't know what to say to them. heh.

and today.. cos my sis flew by Sri Lankan Airlines, there were mostly Sri Lankans who took the flight. and guess what. at the check-in counters, i must say that they forced upon us a very bad impression of their people. it was not enuff that there were so many of them that they took up alot of time during check in. worse was they were avid queue cutters. cos the people in front were slow, i told my sis to move the the emptier line. and this guy suddenly just stuck a foot in front of her and pretended he was there all along. and then so we tot, ok, this one guy, never mind. when it was his turn at the counter, guess wat. he dragged along like 12 people who were standing at the side with tons of luggage and tried to do a very messy group check in. -.- abit shocked, and i saw a queue emptying so i told my sis to go there. then ok, that queue was a chinese lady in front, nothing much, the check in was quite smooth, so my sis tot her turn should be pretty fast. and then her turn came, she stepped up to the counter, and some idiotic sri lankan guy who was at the next queue tried to stick his arm in and cut the queue. !#$%&' luckily, the check-in officer was not a bodoh . he spoke to my sis directly, "you were queueing behind that old lady right?" and then my sis just nodded in abit of a shock that she kena cut queue again and the officer told off the Sri Lankan "please return to your own queue and wait for your turn" . wahah. dumbasses sia. what's wrong with these people !?

aniway.. came home after and just slept until 3pm, woke up,did my jap homework, watched Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift (not bad quite cool) and the whole show reminded me of Initial D. same drifting scenes. is drifting like the only thing they do in Japan?? hmm. yah. but the guy didn`t sound very cool though.

千百三十三：幸田来未

幸田来未：KODA　KUMI

Warning: Pictures that follow are likely to give u a nose bleed and those with weak hearts and full blooded males are strongly advised against reading the following. The author does not take any responsibility should any body fluids, including blood from ur nose, dirty your PC monitor. or keyboard.

in case u dunno who Koda Kumi is, she's a famous singer in Japan. up and coming in other parts of asia, but definitely famous in Japan. her concerts are famous for their costume changes, abit like anita mui, or sammi cheng, but her clothes definitely show alot more skin than our hong Kong stars. here's one of the cover from her albums. hot isnt it?



Her Profile:
DOB: 1982-11-13
DebuT: 2000
Blood Type: A



this was a pic of her in a anime convention.. all the otakus must have nose bled/drooled puddles there..



another album cover (someday boys love girls)


now what about this?


a scene from one of her mtvs


another sexy shot.

provocative sia.... turns on not only the men but oso the girls .. (#^-^#)

i introduced her today cos i was in Kino Bookstore with hawx and we were looking at the 写真books of the jap girls and there were some of famous people like Ueto Aya and i was reminded of Koda Kumi who was always on the tabloids for her almost nude costumes and i showed him. unfortunately, there was only one TV guide showing her on the cover, with something not that provocative, so i decided to gather all these pics to show him who she was. hehe.

didnt do much today, i finally mailed off the mini-sd-card to ryo and all the photos as well. the whole little envelop cost me $11. so ex! -.- with my savings dwindling, i have decided to go help out my dad first for some pocket money until that idiotic govt board decides to arrange interviews for me. and so we ate lunch, at 5pm, and ate dinner at 9pm? hehe. actually i wasnt that hungry but i just gian to eat something, seeing all the nice places at the newly renovated marina square. walk until my leg pain. we walked around doing lecherous stuff, hehe.. ogling at short skirts and talking stupid jokes. hiakz. was quite fun. luckily he no date today with his gf. else i probably be nursing a depressed mood at home liao.

千百三十二：チキンスープ

今日チキンスープを作った。美味しかった。家に料理をすることは珍しい・・最近ちょっとごろ過ぎ、家事がすることしかできない。日本語授業も参加したけど、１週間１回しかなくて、他の日が詰まらないですね・・クロネコ便で送った荷物まだもらってないので、たくさん必要なものが無いです。自分のキチンが欲しい・・・自分の家が欲しい・・



anyway.. was saying i cooked chicken soup for dinner today. for the family. with radish and white fungus and mushrooms. as i cooked, i was hit by a nolstagic wave of when not long ago i used to cook for my ryo and how big the radish were in Japan. haiz. the radish in sg seems to be only half the size. why huh ? are we puny here? hmm..

and .. was so boliao i took pics of the magazine meant for Jaclyn. Non-no! and i guess u should know who's on the cover le. wahaha. distance really makes the heart fonder. just 2 wks i have left the land of his existence, and i am like missing him like mad liao.



hee hee.. so handsome and delicious!! i wish he was single again so that at least we can harbour hopes of having a chance with him! look at his profile:


and there are other delicious boys wearing yukata for the summer fireworks as well in the magazine .. yummy!



ahhh ... i miss kimura takuya ! (hehe as if i noe him very well liddat.. )

千百三十一：Just My Luck

finally had the chance to catch a show today.

it was the EDB briefing in the morning and wat a load of crap was spoken. i'm sure the others agree as well. i can't say anything, but this session just further reinforces the belief that they are imbeciles. the client company's interests are first and foremost, not whether we actually do make use of our skills we have learnt in Japan on the taxpayers' money. it really infuriates me the way they think and that we are wasting taxpayers' money this way and that we are held to a bond for no meaning at all. i had always felt angry when i hear of people who break bonds after using the taxpayers' money on scholarships for them on expensive foreign education but now i totally see why. it is due to the inflexibility, the inefficiency and the inability to understand us common folks that they are forced to break bonds due to incompatibility in wants. ok continue this in a while. in a video call now..

ok i am back. yes. the kns pui pui pui logic of them is disgustin and i shall just be a guai sheep and just follow them around but do my own things on the underside. boliao. siao. 1 interview per month timeline expect me to eat grass? they should use their brains. when they were looking for jobs, were they looking for jobs concurrently or one after the other when one has rejected them? stupid stupid stupid. how can my job search in the industry be smoother than their network of contacts? if their biggest client say no job for me, u think ur smaller client have ? use ur brains sia.

haiz. enuff of them. i am sick of their dumb logic. okie. "jUst my luck" i watched today with the trainees after the meeting. i think my only frens have become like only them and its only cause we had the meeting this morning else, everyone have their own life oso. I saw the trailer of The Lake House (sandra bullock/keanu reeves) and it so so so so touched me. just the trailer is enuff. yes. sandra's character said, "I sometimes feel as if I'm invisible, as if no one can see me at all. " thats how i feel, every where, more often than not. and even more so after i came back. these past 2 wks, have been steadily reinforcing the feeling of my invisibility, the notion that i might actually be non-existent to all except my family. which is shitty scary. i am just someone who used to be on their msn list,who they used to see at gatherings, but someone they just phased out of their life after she went to Japan. argh. very scary.

okie. the movie. not as funny as i expected.. but gd enuff. very teenage love story stuff, the band McFly was not bad.. but Lindsay Lohan looked very chao lao? (dressed to look old? looks old?) dunno how to explain.. she.. dun look as glowy and radiant as she did in her past movies like Mean girls, Freaky Friday etc. yah. and Chris Pine looked better when i first saw this movie in the trailers long ago. hmmm. weird. but the bad luck parts are quite gross. think its better if we dun expect the bad luck things to happen but we are already in the mindset so we are sorta expecting all things bad to happen and when they happen, they are not so .. interesting liao? hmm

but had jap lessons this evening, was quite interesting. weekly dose of live jap, i need more!! but half the class was missing today and the workload had piled up considerably. last week was 2 pages of exercises and sentence making? this week, at least triple the workload. argh. i must perservere!! if the world ignores me, i shall.. curl up with my laptop and watch Pride and Long Vacation! hUmph!

千百三十：ramblings about Kimura Takuya

fed up of the stupid wireless network at home.

having no cash and no company to go out with and wander the streets, i am at home 24-7 online and having no life. so all i do online is look for cheap air tix to fulfil my dreams of returning to Japan asap. can't wait for the eDB briefing tomorrow so that i can get on with my life (after wacking them on the head for the lack of communication so far). sian sian sian. and the wireless signals choose to go on and off on my laptop. until i got fed up and used an external wireless card instead.

i am alone at home again. i finished watching Long Vacation last nite and i must declare it my 2nd favourite Kimura Takuya show. oh the sexy man. yummy!! *drools..* yah abit late, but at least i've properly watched and understood the whole show now right? i dun really like to watch shows that i dun understand the language of. the original flavour is just not there when u read the subs or there are voice-overs. they just sound so.. forced? like most english movies are in jap voice-overs in Japan, and they sound weird. a caucasian spouting jap in an oriental voice? heheh.. i just can't stand it. trying to watch Love Generation but .. its a little dry. hmm. maybe i've had enuff of dramas for now.

i just found a very very cool kimura takuya wallpaper.

very cool hor?! just looking at his pics on the laptop i can smile ear-to-ear and maybe start blushing if i see a pic of him smiling. hoho. a mad fan's rantings here.. hehe

千百二十九： the bears in my life

i m going to intro u all to the VIB. they sleep with me, wipe my drool off, and are the recipients of my hugs and tears. (Sounds like a gross job)

VIB = Very Important Bears!



From Left: Gero-Bear, Angel-Bear, Gaspard

ok it sounds like i'm becoming a bit bonkers, but no la.. they realli do give me a lot of support in my life. Gaspard is actually a dog (i think) hehe so by right, he should be a VID. VID!!

yah, Gero-Bear has been with me since i went japan, from start. in Japan, on the cold winter nights, he has been a very good sleeping partner, providing me with warth and company. somemore, when i was very sian, he was also a good friend, sitting beside me to watch tv and when i play my games, he would struggle to watch with me. and he would gang up with me against ryo when ryo bullies me. hohoho.. like .. when i'm trying to wake ryo up, he would be a great help but sticking his nose into Ryo's nose to tickle him awake. hahahahaa! gd bear!

the angel bear , i got him in a TY shop in Yokohama. they were having bear sale! adopted him since i got one for zhiwen long ago one xmas and he (the bear) looked very sweet. only in sg did he start to share my bed cos i wanted to keep him clean and dustfree in japan. my bed area was dunno why very dusty. erm.. wat else. oh yeah, i think it was the presence of him that i didnt have any dirty things in my room last time. so he really is a guardian angel lor!!

the last little VID is Gaspard, bought him as a pair to remind me of RYo; i gave him the Lisa VID. gaspard is a lonely dog, and he dunno when he would meet Lisa again. awwww.. so he is my lovesick doggy fren and we support each other in times of our lovesickness. hehehe..

thats all for now. will intro my other bear / dog frens later!

千百二十八：disney mania

i got finally a handset of my own!

presenting :



Dmobo M900 disney fone!

千百二十七：The 1/N side of Kimura Takuya

I found this on Youtube... All fans of Kimura Takuya, you must watch this!! u'll laugh and cry along with him ... he is sooo handsome ... arghhh

Part 1: Happiness


Part 2: Sadness


Part 3: him ... eating.. erm...


Part 4: hehe i cant describe this

千百二十六：我慢

我慢：がまん（ga-man) meaning tolerance

i finally heard his voice after 4 days this week and i dunno why i burst into tears. and i just couldnt stop sobbing until at least 5 minutes later. (T.T) liddat.. how to last 2 years..? i cant last one week without breaking down even. argh. and i just cried and cried until i felt better. i guess the failure thing attributed to it and oso the loneliness bah. haiz.

even the trainees, all seems to have gotten their lives on track. they got job offers le, which leaves.. only me.. and decent paying one too. . What the hell is EDB doing??

ok la. not in the best of moods, tot edwin was supposed to meet me tomorrow as he said on the phone after his convocation "ok lor, we meet on sunday, u go see wat u wanna do lor" and i went to check the movies and asked him "want to want Just my Luck" like the next day and he seemed to have forgotten all about wat he said and he replied mE "Sorry this week very busy" . wow. dunno wat to say but i am disappointed that the wind changed so fast. if i nv msged him about the plans means i would still have thought the program is on for sunday lor? haiz.

i watched pirates the day b4 with xinhuan. it was ok funny but the fight scene was toooo draggy. and the ending. its too much of a cliff hanger. -.- did anything happen with davy jones after the EAst india got his archilles' heel?! i wan to know!! wat a stupid ending. grr.

i still wan to watch Just mY lUck and Superman. where"s everyone?!

千百二十五：もっと悲しいニュース

I've gotten news that the other trainees have been taken in by Koei.

i really feel even more of a failure now.

its just like 2 years ago, where interviews amount to nothing time after time and singapore employers just don't like me. i don't want to still be wandering around, i wanna earn some money, i want to have money to go Japan for the rest of my life. maybe i really am destined to be a housewife for him and have 2 kids within the next 4 years. argh.

千百二十四：post-Japan depression

i saw a blog yesterday with the titles in hiragana numbers. i decided to do that too but in kanji.

the past. is it natural to mind so much?

i guess girls are naturally jealous creatures. i guess, as a close fren of guys, their new gfs are bound to hate me. but i dun hang out with those guys once they are attached liao. i dunno lei . if u mind ur bf's past, probably even now. he isn't doing much to earn your trust isn't it? its not like i am even in contact with the bf anymore, but he is still making u feel like... he might cheat? then its him that you should feel angry with and not the girls he probably flirts with. yes, the girls are temptations, but without the guy to encourage them, nothing moves further. so. i think.. take a look at ur own bf for any wrongdoing before hating the girl and thinking bad of that girl. if that girl is a real platonic fren, she will understand if the guy tells her he has to put some distance because he has a gf. and she will comply.. cos thats wat frens are for.

dunno lei . mabbe its cos most of my frens are guys and after coming back, one by one they got attached and i have to keep my distance liao. and they of cos dun have me in their jio-out list anymore, its their gf right? ok la. i understand that, but like i said.. its lonely bah. maybe its just post-japan depression, the feeling of being a failure came back and the weariness of having to look for a job and all just piled up and i just started crying this morning. the feeling of i deja vu, that i will be stuck for another 2 years in this house where i get scolded for every little thing not my fault. where i cant stay out late when i want to and i am made to feel guilty for everything that my mom is feeling? wats that about?!

haiz. i realli realli wanna be by his side right now. i miss his voice. alot alot.

1123: home is not the best place to be

i wanted to think that i was happy to be back. and i wanted to be good and help out my parents from now on and guess wat, today i was totally reminded of why i hated living at home.

i am 23, going on 24 liao but nothing has changed. my mom still scolds me for everything not my fault; she brings her bad mood home and aims it at all of us, she clears up our room and then scolds us for living our clothes on the bed. which i usually pick up if left there at the end of the day. why pick up and scold us for making u do it? we didnt ask u to pick up, it is our bed after all, not like we throw our clothes on ur bed?! the thing is, its not that we dun want to do housework, its that u meddle into everything we do. u want us to do things your way. why do u think i dont bother to cook at home? cos its not my kitchen, u'll freak and scold us for making a mess instead of appreciating the fact that we cooked. u pick out the worst in us, its realli like i Not stupid 2, the parents only noe how to scold scold scold, when we speak, we get scolded, when we quiet, they think we are insolent. how to please such people?

when ryo ask me why i wanna get married so young, in my head i'm thinking, why, to get away from my mom, to have my own place, i dun want to be scolded and scolded and scolded forever, and of course the only thing i say out is that i want someone who supports and love me and won't question my way of doing things. isnt that so? she keeps using the words "this is not your house hor, its my house so u should do wat i say" and in that case, who would feel happy living there? dun wan to let me move out yet say such things. can u blame ur daughters for always trying to stay out as much as possible?

i am tired, tired of fighting her, i just wanna get out and be rescued as soon as possible. 6 hours distance is a very good distance away.

1122 : surprises all the way

i have received so much mail these 2 days that i am back.

guess wat. i received a huge bouquet the first day that i reached here. i was surprised hehe. a little freaked out. but it turned out to be from the tokyo people!! (^-^)



tada!!



hoho. happy right? here i was at home, doing nothing, missing japan and my frens ther so much and suddenly a bouquet arrives from there.. ahhh. very touched.. i think its really sweet of them..

and today, i came home to a telegram on the table. a TELEGRAM! i nv received that in my life b4. wondering who would have sent that. and guess wat..

its the tokyo colleagues again!!



the telegram was in the form of a card and this is the motif on the card. ahhh ...



see see... the words there mean "you've been a great help" (T.T) i have?? hee..

and i've commenced on my jap lessons again. today, decided to call the jap sch i was in b4 i left for japan and enquire bout their JLPT 1 lessons, and today happened to be the first lesson so i went down with JL to start lessons. the teacher is quite interesting, tokyo born with kansai dialect. hah. some of the people in the class are downright irritating, they don't off their dictionaries, they just beep the whole way thru class, and the next lesson i'M going to ask him to keep quiet liao. idiot. and some other people, the type who must make noise and talk loudly and response loudly while the teacher is still talking one. -.- that kind la. attention seeking. maybe he realli got interest to learn, but should be more considerate mah. but on the whole, enjoyed the class, enjoyed listening to the comforting japanese language being used around me again. i wanna go back soon.

1121: good bye japan

i m back. for good. in sg.

(T.T)
i miss the multifunctional toilets, the super super super nice shop people, the keeping to one side rule of the elevators and the fashionable people walking around.

yesterday was a mad rush.

on sunday, i packed until 3pm just in time for the luggage to be sent to the airport, spent the rest of the day throwing away garbage, and then had dinner with his bro's family b4 spending the nite at his place. i had sold my tv and shelves for 20000 yen, which was pretty good by any standards,and there was only all the small things left around.

so i came back home on monday morning, after a teary goodbye to him on the train, got ready to mail off my modem, and i realised my bad was too full and i can't finish packing . argh!! rushed to the post office and posted the left over stuff (quite gross though) and i had wanted to go develop photos but there was no time liaoz. rushed out of the dorm after returning my keys, got to the office in time for lunch with my colleagues. argh. at least the rushing didn't give me time to think much.

after lunch, had time to spare, so i went back to the 8th floor. and he was there still and i spoke to him a little, and other colleagues and finally went off with Maya to the airport.

at the airport:

everyone except hongsing was there liao. haha. no one from my team came to send me off, kana/maya were there though. when hongsing finally arrived with alot of luggage, we checked in, 22 pieces of things -.- and it was 400KG?? haha.. the airport personnel was kind enuff to let us off a little, but it was abit too heavy..i guess. after checking in (took us a full half hour with negotiation and for them to label our stuff properly) had waffles and drinks at the cafe with maya/kana at the airport. and when it was really time to go in, i started crying again. and maya too. AHHHHH!H!!! (T.T)

its weird how u dunno u realli are frens with the person until the moment u have to leave. i noe i'll see them again, but i dunno why i just cant help crying. i come back and i feel realli empty now, dunno why, just that probably i'm used to having them there. around, somewhere.

the plane was delayed for an hour in take-off, which was a little freaky but it finally took off at 5.30pm, and we encountered alot of turbulence during the flight. bad turbulence. very.. movie like? abit frightened, but i've arrived safely as u can see. haha.

so now, me zoboing in my house. i hate packing and i hate to unpack. argh. mafan--- should let my beautiful packed boxes stay packed until i have to leave sg in future again mah . grrr/

1120: finally over

it's finally over. the packing i mean.

after a night of intensive and endless packing, i finally managed to move to his place in 2 car trips stuff to leave with him and this morning i barely was in time for the luggage collection at 3pm in the afternoon. after 3pm, it was just gathering and throwing of rubbish in 3-4 trips to the rubbish dump. and now, all i have left is to mail back the Yahoo modem and to clear the fridge (by mailing back all the sauces tomorrow morning) and i'm set to go.

he came over to help pack and he ruthlessly dumped my stuff . i too am a hoarder, like my sis, lots of expired food that i couldn'T bear to eat but bought cos i craved them. argh.

i went to hiroshima on saturday and i managed to touch the famous Torii at Miyajima. it was low tide and we could walk all the way to the torii. the shrine that it was gate to was built in the sea and after it was ravaged by last year's typhoons, it had to undergo much repairs.



and i got molested by a deer. argh.



a female one no less. lesbian i am not. grrr.

and the shrine that was built on the sea..


and of cos the torii in its full glory..


pity the weather was so gloomy that day.

well at this time tomorrow, i'll be back in my house and missing ryo. *sighz*

1119: final farewell

(T.T)

i cried and cried at the farewell party and my mascara ran all over at the farewell party.

so embarrassing.

but i guess its really the end. and it only hit me now.

when one of the sups starting crying during his speech, i broke down oso. (T.T)

yikes.



all the trainees and their sups. argh....

after that we went clubbing



hehe..

see how well-dressed some of the girls are:


very hot sia!! but they cant dance for nuts . hoho

1118: pro peace

so i've finally seen one of the sites of the atomic bombing. and it did not make me feel good that that was the key to WWII ending. the damage and the destruction it caused, with so much innocent civilians dying without any warning at all, how could it even be the least be justified by saying it will reduce millions more of people who will suffer due to war?

the death toll was of course staggering. but the immediate destruction was horrifying. it was so so so hot people died of thirst while still suffering from terrible wounds, lost limbs. i am definitely pro-peace from now onwards, if i was undecided before.



this non-descript memorial marks the epicenter of the atomic bombing, the exact point where the bomb was dropped on and landed. the concentric circles around it showed how the effects of the bomb spread outwards. argh.. and there were kids swimming in the stream barely 100m away from it. at the point of explosion. 11.02am. most of the clocks stopped with the immediate impact of the bomb.

i felt very teary and very sorry for these children who didn't know what hit them.. let's not have any more wars shall we...

1117: the foggy volcano

as i mentioned in the previous post, the way up to see the volcano crater was foggy. this was near the foot of the volcano. as we went up..



the visibility dipped.



and continued to fall..



until it was this foggy and very difficult to drive along.



when we finally reached the area where we could access the road to the crater, it was too foggy and the road was closed. -.-



and when the fog lifted a little, we went up. and this was how foggy the top was still. it was windy it was cold and it felt like it was raining.



ta-da! this is the supposed crater we are supposed to be viewing.. but all i can see is... clouds.



and this part is more obvious.. clearer view of the rocks in the crater.



and me, the first time i vistied a volcano. darn the weather!!

1116: Volcano Craters

in fukuoka now (福岡） something like the Tokyo area of Kyushu.. with the city and the bright lights and the happening places. had delicious もつ鍋 for dinner last night (motsu nabe) which is like ... intestinal soup? for those who love kuay chup, this is a must try, but i like it more korean style, ala chige soup.

we went to see 阿蘇 volcano yesterday but the whole place was sooooo foggy we could barely see the person next to us. according to the sg visibility standards, visibility was about 10m or less. we were crawling down the mountain at a snail's pace (10km/h) with headlights on, hoping not to bump into any other car. dangerous shite..

ok have to rush off for breakfast liaoz.. will show pics of the fog and the supposed volcano crater later. hehe..

1115: Nagasaki for the past 2 days

in Kumamoto （熊本） now after 2 days of Nagasaki since saturday. dead tired after a 2 hour drive but our hotel room in Kumamoto (Nikko Hotel Kumamoto) is like the best hotel i've ever been in!! the toilet is sooooooo pretty (separate shower room from toilet with glass partition. the door is a sliding door so that u can't even tell it's the toilet and a sofa for u to rest on. pity its only for one night here.

okok.. i have to go for dinner now.. will update later..
