千八百九十六： さよなら

Waiting for my hair to dry a little before sleeping.

We had a farewell dinner for Kelly & Jimmy tonight. I will definitely miss them..

me & Jimmy

UAT team with Jimmy who almost joined us.. sighz.

if only he had joined us we wouldn't need to have this party.

Someone said I seemed to be getting prettier everytime he saw me. What nice words, but i laughed at him and said "hahaha, of course I can't be getting uglier right?" jokingly, and he was like "erh.. nono i really mean it ".. and i was quite in disbelief but thanked him anyway for the compliment. I had motivation to keep in shape / maintain looks, but now it's kinda sorta at a "so what if I do all these, or look better, I'm always the one who is alone in the end..." i need alot of affirmation in my life, or perhaps it's just my character.but is there anything so wrong about that?

Already started feeling somewhat keen on being initiative despite everything. Perhaps things will never change as long as I am still me.

千八百九十五： Time

I just wish that time would stop here. and now.

even though things are not exactly what I want, but it's the best I can get now. and I intend to treasure every moment of the next 2weeks. be it bad or good, but just the time spent together will be a precious memory in my heart.

I can only wish.

千八百九十四： Criminal Minds

Started on a new drama (old on tv, new to me) Criminal Minds. FBI criminal profiling is the main theme, which is really interesting. There are so many crime dramas but I think the only one that I actually got bored watching was CSI Miami (the lead detective just doesn't have the charisma in other shows like CSI new york/numbers/bones etc).

Sudden work beckons. will continue this later.

千八百九十三： Achievements

Maybe due to the strange 激しい　temperature changes, have been feeling a little under the weather. it was >20degrees celsius over the weekend, but it dropped back to 11degrees today. Feverish/coldish headachy since Sunday night and stomach upsets the past few days.

I realise I can't really tell foe from friend these few weeks.

trying to remember what X said about not writing bad stuff here so that i won't remember the unhappiness.

I don't know if I want gaps in my memories.

but towards a happy note - Ryo's work on the IR site for his company has earned them a No. 1 IR site ranking on the Gomez IR Rankings for 2010 :) They were ranked ahead of MNCs like Toshiba & NTT Docomo, so that's quite an achievement!



I haven't had any achievements lately to speak of, but have been doing alot of cards for friends. Hopefully they will like it.

千八百九十二： Movie

went to watch 「ダーリンは外国人」　yesterday at Umeda. it's based on a comic based on the illustrator's own life (something like Baby Blues), mainly about the difficulties she faced from her family & society when she got together with a foreigner. Quite funny, and got some very sad parts in the middle, everyone was crying..

This picture is quite irrelevant here, but just thought i looked quite nice. hahaha!

Didn't do much but the weekend just seems to fly past.

千八百九十一： Weird..

How weird.

Felt that I should order my books today and didn't realise that it was on the same date last month that I purchased the first set of the Belgariad series.


what a weird coincidence.

Feeling a little weird today generally. I couldn't wake up despite no nightmares. It's always home alone on a Friday night because he always schedules his work trip on fridays. hmm.

thinking of all the food i want to eat when I'm in sg. Curry Fish Head, Thai Food, Chicken rice, salted vege with duck soup. Yummy!!! thinking of all these is making me drool...

千八百九十： 桜

Finally uploaded photos to flickr after renewing my account. every year i just delay the renewal of the pro acct by a month so that it will last a month more. hehe... abit ngeow, but no harm to anyone.

Sakura visit at 夙川公園,

the street stalls' food were delicious btw. although it was still freezingly cold with the wind.

plus a soccer game (first time ever in my life watching a live game at the pitch), Gamba Osaka vs SAFFC.

of course Osaka won the game against SAFFC.

bought a DSLR: Nikon D3000 dual lens kit because it was going on sale, then it ended up to be cheaper than Canon powershot G11 which was my first choice. Havent really taken it out yet, cos i havent been anywhere after getting the camera, but just by taking shots randomly of the scenery outside the house and in the house, the sharpness and focus just blows me away. :D

click on the pic to see it in its original size:


this was a cloudy day but the camera managed to take such a sharp pic and made everything look kinda toy like.

i love my new toy!

千八百八十九： TGIF

Doing UAT at home on a friday night. feeling really really bored. :(

Ryo is in Tokyo until tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder why he is always there on a friday. The trips seem to be increasing. Maybe i will surprise him one of the trips. If only I can afford those taitai life & jet to tokyo for no reason at all but just to shop. :)

Hanami this weekend I think. He has said he would bring me to eat yakiniku but who knows, probably he will back out.. & shopping for spring clothes i think. & maybe golf.

must stay strong.

千八百八十八： Exhaustion

Visited Nara with Anna on sunday. Did not get harrassed by the deer (because there were soooo many tourists feeding them)

deer trying to get all the rice crackers in the kid's hands

at world heritage site, Todaiji (東大寺)

outside the temple

Went to watch soccer Gamba Osaka vs SAFFC for AFC. this is actually my first live soccer match in my whole life. I think because it was cold & the audience wasn't that many in number, the atmosphere was only half there. but luckily our seat was like near the goal & can see alot of action closer up. I don't think i will be watching soccer matches much because the stadium is just so out of the way. (1.5 hr from my place.)

{another picture is supposed to be here..}

work exhaustion, & my right eye has has been feeling really painful for the past few days. Finding it very hard to wake up in the morning as well, partly cold & partly really exhausted. working late lately because daytime is so packed with stuff to do. can't use the new work laptop yet cos there isn't a ras card reader with it & I had to order 1 myself in JP.

feeling shitty when i hear pple tell me sightings. "i saw .... yesterday" half torn wishing i was there to see for myself or another part of me just wants to pretend I don't know anything. keep thinking about the good times last year, re-reading email msgs, when everything was so different not even a month ago. & i just feel so helpless.
