Thought about This Day that was Made

おばあちゃん！

2011-12-01T11:53:00.001+08:00

お誕生日おめでとう！:)

日本に行くから待っててね！:D

strike that wish list

2011-12-01T10:16:00.001+08:00

remember THIS post?

yes, I shall now reveal what that was ;)

pls don't be disappointed if it wasn't what you were expecting,

it's a pretty BIG thing to me already.

ok,
so I did a major hair do.

anyway,
I've been totally excited when it comes to corn rows :D

stunning isn't it? that's alicia keys! the detailed hand work. I bet that took hours and hours!

once, my friends deborah from congo did that stunning work of art on her hair,
so she tried doing my hair.
epic fail. LOL.
so I got 'professionals' to help me :D

yes, I flew to phuket and did it for 900B! * RM 90? S$37? *
* now you know much it costs,
be sure to get something lower than that if you're going to try ;) *

so, after 1 hr 40mnts of butt-pain-sitting
my long straight wavy asian hair turned to this! :D

FAQs,
not pain, isn't it pulled tight?
nope, it's just a little heavy with the beads and sstuff

how to wash? eeee smelly..
DUNK in water, dap with shampoo, and soak it in water again.

when back to normal?
it cost me like S$37, so it better stay a little longer. keeping it for a week plus :) *normally ppl keep it for 2 to 3 weeks! *

oh, and things I've learnt,
if you're planning to do so with your hair,
DO NOT LAYER YOUR HAIR,
cause all the hair will start sticking out, especially asian hair.

maybe the next time I"ll have dull long non-layered hair.
yes, I'm gonna do it again nicely:)

ok,

behind the scenes ;)

I didn't catch their names :/ there were 2 other ladies also helping but they went to help out with thai message thingy. oh well :P

mimi did 6! 3 each left and right;)

oh, and about taking it off,
I think there'll be another post just for it ;)

actually, I'm not so excited about that part:/
you'll see what i mean..

I'm feeling lazy.

2011-11-29T11:53:00.001+08:00

this is not good at all.
I spent all morning hunting down how to watch glee :(

and I've not started my holiday planning.

and I've not gone out of the house for job hunt.

and I've not confirmed my christmas shopping.

and I've not made myself lunch for today, yet.

oh gosh.

there's this thing about procrastination.
there's a cause to it,
and I think the crux of my problem is the computer! argh.

no, I'm not banning myself again:P

I just need, er, a little time management?

I've very sick of myself not posting good post.
I hope inspiration will hit when I have my lunch later.
argh.

will be back!

currently... jobless:(

2011-11-29T09:48:00.001+08:00

I'm no longer a student

* I'm done with secondary and not enrolled to any tertiary education, yet*

and I can't find a part-time job

* well, I'm haven't exactly started my hunt for it.

so technically, I'm have no occupation, no job, and I'm unemployed :( :(

it feels quite terrible.

that hollow boredom.

no sense of belonging.

and a guilt of being unproductive.

I'm working on it.

ooops.

2011-11-27T22:34:00.001+08:00

ok, so much about coming back.

currently on holiday, and my schedule is in a mess!

therefore, I'll take time to warm up.

so this is like a warm up to my warm up :D

so far the only most happening thing is that...

I have a new hair do :D

very exciting ;)

to be updated.

wish to be come true

2011-11-25T23:47:00.001+08:00

something I have longed for a very very long time.
I've been talking about it,
imagining it,
researched about it,
and hoping it will come true one day.

And finally!
it's within my reach for it to become a reality!

I'm very excited!
yet, kinda nervous.

If it doesn't turn out well,
it's going to be MAJOR.

indeed, it's ~~pretty~~ serious.

hohohoho.
to be updated...

J moments.

2011-11-22T23:27:00.001+08:00

oh my gawd.

it was rather dreamy :) :) :)

*smiling like an idiot*

unsubscribed.

2011-11-22T23:12:00.001+08:00

I'm moving on, yea, i can live without you.

I'm not complaining that i don't get enough attention.
I'm just disappointed with my treatment.

the newton law doesn't apply here,
I don't get a reaction with my actions from you.
now, I just don't know who to respond to you anymore.

I'm not going into details.
but you know what I mean.

I really don't know what's your problem.
if you ever have the guts, come to my face and tell me all about it.
ever ready for you.

anyway, until then, I can't be bothered.

as childish as it sounds,
I've only 'unsubscribed', I have not 'unfriend' you :P

draw the lines.

2011-11-21T09:41:00.001+08:00

I thought of setting up a rule like,

no posting on personal issues.

but then, it may be feelings that YOU might be going through too,
and it warms * or maybe builds up the fire * when you know someone else is going through the same thing as you!

so yes,
i will share some issues that i face, which you may face,
although I don't have the best solutions to the problems,

but you'll know that YOU'RE NOT ALONE:)

christmas already?

2011-11-20T22:43:00.001+08:00

THIS IS TOO FAST.

in fact, I feel left behind.

everyone is already in the mood.

you know, scheduling their christmas shopping, making gifts, planning christmas events, etc.

i think i shall do the same. * peer pressure.

I was at orchard 2 days in a row,

and I got to experience the 'opening' of the season :D

was walking along orchard road, and ALL THE SUDDEN/

BOOM!!

the dreamy blue decorations lit up!

everyone was looking up in awe :)

at the same time,

i notice many ppl were holding some stick thingy.

close up, it was a plastic candle-like touch.

* oh, i realized, i posted about this ytd. ppl are getting old.

ANYWAY.

the mood just.... you know :)

that dreamy christmas feeling, where you wish you're right next to the people you love :)

it looked like this :)

i was with a few friends, and we grabbed those candles for freeeeeee :D *I like cheapo yet good stuff.

and today, was shopping for my 4 cousins.

they are under 10.

don't speak any english.

4 of them.

3 boys, and a boyish girl.

so the presents have to non-english, simple, sophisticated, cool, and affordable.

there was a huge toy selling area,

gilarrr a lot of people @.@

look forward.

look backward.

so difficult to move ard@.@

kids running around screaming. *grrrrrr.

anyway, it's the start of a very special season.

spend it with those special ppl.

and of course, don't forget the origins of this very special day.

it has a special meaning to it:)

warming up.

2011-11-19T22:56:00.001+08:00

alright, so I'm not exactly in the mood for thoughtful posts, yet.

I'm getting there.

now as a warm up, I shall do a little babbling.

things you could do on a lovely saturday :D

wake up lazily.

make eggmayosando.

* SHARKS. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PICTURES!!! GRRRRRRRR, next time.*

go to the post office.

head to VIVO :D

walk on the broadwalk bridge to sentosa island :D

*speaking about the broad walk bridge,

it's a wayyy healthier choice if you're planning to enter sentosa island,

it's a 700 m long walk, definitely a good warm up;)

you'll just have to pay a dollar to enter sentosa,

compared to the skyline thingy which cost a little more ;)

i know, I"m like suppppppppppper budget.*

spend time stoning by the beach.

share your eggmayosando!

go back to vivo when you feel the beach is little crowded.

watch a movie cozzily.

*gv has pretty good comfy seats ;)*

eat porky curry rice

indulge in dessert at jo's groceries ;)

* I tell you, the raspberry cheesecake is YUM! the brownie choco! mmmmmmmm....*

seee! so many things you could do in a day :D

I'll say, it'll be a very productive day :P

it deserves pictures?

kekeke.

oh oh,

orchard has just lit up it's streets :)

the deco is toooooooo bright. my camera tak boleh tahan.

crazy. see the ppl on the streets! look in detail, the little candle like thingy they are holding :) the christmassy feeling :) :)

this is my buddy. ignore him. seeeee! sentosa is also dressing up :D :D :D

I've put in some effort here.
to be improved.

hohohoho.
I'm excited for the next post :D
are you? ;)

dear old me

2011-11-18T13:27:00.001+08:00

I feel like crying.
I'm so happy to see how such a bubbly person i used to be :')

it's as though as I was reading this blog like an outsider.
I wanna know more about this person that finds the most random amusing; hang out with her to see her speak her mind and babble all she can; take a picture with her cause she's so prettyyy *ok, this wasn't necessary, kekekekke. OK NVM* ; peep and see how she gets around with her life! ; stalk her? *LOL. pls no.

anyway,
if you're bored, you could read through the posts and you'll see what I mean :)
there's a different vibe.

just in case you've forgotten how I look like.
a sudden thought " omg, lala?:/ "

so yes, I'm gonna add little more colours and pics.
hopefully that'll stay consistent.

dear old me, I'll be better than you ;)

WELCOME BACK.

2011-11-18T13:20:00.001+08:00

today is the 18t of november.
after many many months of absence,
I've decided to come back, and blog again :)

blogging makes me think.

I'm a little rustier,
as in, I don't have anymore funny lame jokes or witty lines to play around with,
but I"m getting there again :)

or maybe I won't go back there,
could be a change in maturity * HHOHOHOHO. I sure am sorta more wiser ;)
a little different in style.
but it's still going to be from the same person ;)

stay tuned! cause I'm back ppl!! :D :D :D

2011-11-18T10:06:00.001+08:00

Hello there :)
just so you know, I'm coming back!
this site needs a make over!
just wait ;)

1000

2011-05-02T15:41:00.002+08:00

I'm not that very excited.

I went crazy when I hit 100. remember?

gone with the days with that youthful feisty spirit.

this proves?

ppl really do change!

I never knew this day would come where I feel like I totally lost that urge to blog.

I can't bear to read the older post.

hurts to see how much I'm missing out already.

I'm not that random as I used to be.

I'm not that carefree as I was.

I'm not that naive as I thought.

at least I know I won't be wasting time on the com :P

this is not the end.

just a start of a closure.

anyway,

I could bet I don't get much visits by real humans.

all those irritating spams. *points at cbx* haihh..

how meaningless to continue blogging.

I don't feel like recalling the joy and the purpose.

I shall excuse myself from the blogging world.

appreciate the past support and loyalty:)

it was you dear loyal readers than kept me going for the past 3 years or so.

much love,
Jasmine.

keeping you busy with this.

2011-05-02T00:18:00.001+08:00

absolutely love this tune.

kinda cute :)

" me or the though me?"

Good time :)

2011-04-12T22:36:00.002+08:00

another one to keep you entertained.

Sweet Disposition

2011-04-11T23:13:00.001+08:00

a little something for this week.

it's 0542

2011-04-11T05:42:00.002+08:00

good morning :)

a sudden urge to tell you all, I'll be back soon as I can.

at the moment. so much drama is going on :(

and it's started to look better now:)

I shan't say further..

of to school for a chem test :D

I love chemistry.

and yes kimmie kimbo, I miss you tooo :(

taboo.

2011-04-01T16:36:00.004+08:00

OMG OMG.

I forgot all about my blog.

ok ok ok:)

today we had our school's ENGLISH AND HUMANITIES WEEK'S INTERCLASS TABOOOOO COMPETITION.

and we're quite serious about..

hahahaha.

we actually practiced for hours of tabooo :O

card after card, we cracked *not so funny* jokes, build chemistry, and bonded :D

our members were, FAYE, RACHEL, ROXANNE, CASSANDRA and myself :)

all girl team ;)

so, we were really excited to beat 4F ( our rivals for whatever reason, we have this healthy competition with the class next door with almost everything @.@ )

to cut the long story short,

we didn't win :D

nor did they!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH.

I'm had quite enough for playing taboo.

Earth Hour 2011

2011-03-26T20:18:00.000+08:00

26 march 2011.
2030 to 2130

lights out ppl!

wedding bells.

2011-03-17T10:38:00.003+08:00

when was the last time you attended a wedding?!

last night?

months ago?

years ago?

your own wedding?

can't remember?

besides those who can't remember,

isn't it so sweeeeet?!? :)

the last wedding I attended was when I was 12.

almost half a decade ago :O

it was in hong kong for a distant relative.

so a typical chinese wedding?

yea, I guess pretty much so,

the rituals, routines, serving of the tea and the exchange of ang pao:D

anyway, getting to my point

* i think I'm getting very long winded recently:/ signs of aging*

I"M ATTENDING A WEDDING TODAY :D :D :D :D

bought a dress, cardigan, heels and it already left me penniless.

didn't bother to look into accessories. no more money larhhh :(

anyway,

feeling rather nervous tonight.

3 and half inch heels is scaring me.

I'm going to be 9 cm talller @.@

eh, yay?

I wish I practiced a little more walking on heels :/

weddings. so sweeet :)

I wanna hear your wedding experiences AS GUEST :)

soon or later.

2011-03-17T10:34:00.002+08:00

I will have to post a few things I had in mind for the past 2 weeks.

this is a perfect example of procrastinating.

1. on radioactive and things like that - how ppl have been talking about it, and I feel like I want to do alittle research on that. like seriously, no cure? :O

2. on refereeing- it's tough. I'll admit, no more getting mad with referees.

oh guess what, only 2 in the list :D what a relief.

low in ink

2011-03-16T14:48:00.004+08:00

owh great. there goes my e learning week assignments.

there she goes again.

have you ever heard for e learning?

my fellow friends in malaysia,

guess you have not,

well, you should know, and be mentally prepared if you ever given such a task...

sounds awfully exciting at first.

but slowly, that boredom creeps,

before you know it,

you get sick, literally :(

this week is like e learning week,

the teacher dumps a whole chapter to you to learn up on your own.

they provide a certain platform called asknlearn.com and acelearner for all the websites and assignments.

it'll be really silly to think that all these can be completed in one day.

guess, I was silly enough to think so :/

Live to Dance: The angel and amanda ;)

2011-03-16T14:25:00.002+08:00

watch this.

and this.

and lastly,

love the accent.
the guy sounds charming,
if he was little old ;)

bang bang bang.

2011-03-10T15:51:00.002+08:00

something from last year,
mark ronson makes those catchy ones.
album: record collection

missed me?

2011-03-10T15:29:00.002+08:00

I missed the old me.

a little more naive.

wasn't always in busy schedules.

and those days I couldn't bother if my hair was in a neat ponytail.

like totally whatever.

not sure if this is a part of growing,

where we get forgetful,

turn up pretty boring,

maybe heartless?

slowly becoming that stupid adult.

I think i need to make a list :)

things I need to do before graduating.

#1 walk back home on foot from school. it's only 3 hours, 5 hours max:)

#2 do a video with the girls :)

#3 sleep in school uniform so i don't have to change to school uniform in the morning :)

#4 not talk for a whole day in school. like totally zip! :)

#5 constantly nibble on food the whole day in school.

#6 braid my whole head * i need deborah mawete to help me! *:)

#7 have a week where I'll sleep 8 hours a day, at least.

#8 locked up in room 8 to 8 studying.

#9 raise hands with enthusiasm when there's quiz during assemble.

I like that :)

some are easy, just need some thick skin.

others, it's perseverance.

a few needs determination.

the rest needs to be a bit blind and mindless.

alright,

I"m slightly more motivated :)

I promise I won't waste my time on the com.

help me:/

I wanna italianoo..

2011-03-03T22:52:00.002+08:00

so many things I want to do.
pick up hindi and tamil.
brush up spanish.
advance my jap.
learn french cause it's so sexaaay :P
and just recently, after listening to this...

*via mark loon on fb

now, I've been inspired to sing in italian :P

tell me that you love me more

2011-02-28T22:50:00.000+08:00

feist singing 1234.

♫too roo too too♬

2011-02-27T22:50:00.002+08:00

I love beats.

♪♬♫♪♩♬♪♫

busy with nothing.

2011-02-24T23:54:00.002+08:00

my goodness.

it's already mid feb:/

I don't like being busy.

seriously.

no time to wonder " what in the world am I even doing? "

we get so caught up with activities,

and slowly forget how to relax and appreciate things around you.

or at least, I think I am :/

it's so weird,

last week, I thought ' this week is exceptionally busy, next week should be back to normal'

BUT NO.

there's always something new in the schedule.

and I said to myself those same words again.

I hope I don't say the same thing next week too.

it's a terrible feeling.

I'm so sick of this:(

ultimately,

it's about time management.

a little on self discipline,

maybe a pinch creativity.

brains die when they stop working.

you don't have to always glue books to face,

but you can have thoughts in your mind to keep you occupied :P

I mean, that's better than staring to blank space and do nothing

* although, it is quite pleasurable to do so*

here I go again,

I need take a breather.

i rant too much.

it needs a little more pictures here.

I promise, on my next post,

it'll be a little more colourful:)

with lots of love,

enjoy the rest of your week:)

Cross Country 2011

2011-02-22T17:05:00.002+08:00

this was my last cross country :O

sad isn't it?

it gives a little shake to remind you, many things are going to happen for the last time, or will come to an end :(

but, some things has to end in order to start another:)

well, back to today's event.

held at Japanese/Chinese Garden, near Lakeside MRT and Chinese Garden MRT.

the route to the finish line was flat but narrow.

that made a little drama in the start, someone fell :(

how was the race?

pretty exciting :)

we started with lots of ppl dashing!

slowly,

maintaining the speed, I got to lead for some 500m :D banggggaaa siaaaa! :P

well, a mental note here,

it's not good to be a the lead, cause you have to pressure to set the pace.

but it's obviously good to be in front in the last 200m or so.

it's a risky thing I guess.

so, know your competitors!

* omg, I sound so kiasu :/

so, through out the whole race,

I ran with 3 other girls from netball.

gilarrr semangat :/

all 3 of them running together.

so I was sorta behind keep up :/

*honestly, i felt like giving up, just rest and take it easy :)

estimating the last 300m or so,

the winner of the race was decided.

yuan shaing sped up :O

omg. super pressssure mannn.

the 2 others begin to slow down,

that was very, very encouraging :P

the finishing line looked very far awayyyy :/

oh, the distance was only 2.7km.

nothing much isn't it?

finally,

got my chip for a position,

panting in relieve,

it is alll over :D

so proud of you, jo,

6th for the sec 2 boys :)

I remember clearly you declared "I'm going to be the first, I rather get last than to be the second. "

that's my brother :)

so stubbornly confident, just like me :/

to wrap up,

it was something memorable to leave with:)

p.s sorry no pics.

my phone has failed me miserable.

now I'm using my sister's old phone.

how degrading :/

pray for my phone and I to reunite soon,

or if I must, get a new lovely phone :)

Vday '11

2011-02-14T19:52:00.003+08:00

I'm definitely not in the lovey dovey mood.

what's so special about Vday anyway?

have you read up on the history how it came about?

no?

go read, wikipedia:)

I don't see anything much romantic about the history.

or maybe I don't know how to read, which ever is more believable.

but things have changed,

now, Vday kinda involves everyone!

what do I mean?

girls exchanging gifts/chocolate/balloons to each other

* not sure if it's out of desperation

11 year old kids getting gifts for the family member

* it's not exactly romantic love right?

everyone greets everyone HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

* I don't even know what's there to celebrate!

well, you get what I'm trying to say.

it's not the "lovey dovey valentine's with cupids in love-shaped bow" Day :O

of course,

as far as I'm concern,

I don't really care :P

many say it's a waste of money.

other people make money out of this.

I've spend 4.20 on chocolates and 2 dollars on balloons :O

what for?

gahhhh, IDK :/

for the sake of exchanging @.@

in return,

I got 2 boxes of chocolate, double heart balloons, a candy pack and a chocolate bar :O

I'm not going to eat all of that :/

but thank you girls for your generous donation:) love you sweeties x)

I must have looked really bitter to them.

nvm..

we need a conclusion right?

i don't like Vdays.

obviously, I don't have any good reasons to celebrate it.

but if you've got that lucky someone already,

good for you:)

oh, I asked someone what does it mean to greet others Happy Valentine's.

He said, it's like saying hello in a romantic way :P

hahhaha.

I like that :)

I'm in the mood for..

2011-02-13T22:03:00.001+08:00

taken from the sound tracks of SHERK 4: the final chapter,

ladies and gentleman,

Landon Pigg and Lucy Schwartz playing "darling I do"

Feb 2011

2011-02-10T23:28:00.002+08:00

anything to take note of?

Vday - celebrating single-ness:) * no kerby, this is not like we're despos.

cross country - gosh. i need to do something about it! must train!

test&exams - I can't be bother whether it's just a work sheet or a pop quiz. I'll do what I'm suppose to do, and end of the story, " I WROTE THIS FOR THIS QUESTION AND I"M WRONG, I LOST 7 MARKS :( " kind of nonsense, I can't tolerate with. i mean, if you knew it was wrong, jolly well CHANGE IT. you know, maybe I'll have a complain post on things I dislike before, during and after the exam, nothing wrong with the exam, it's just the people around it makes it's so dramatic. just wondering, is it me or does the rest of the world feels that way too.

nothing much significant i guess.

i said it before, and I'll say it again,

make sure you sleep enough!

it's not a very pretty place to be with cranky zombies.

tricky thursday.

2011-02-10T23:09:00.002+08:00

hello ppl!

what's more to love when you can use the computer without nagging of parents reminding you how long you've been using the computer.

it's been a while since I felt this way.

what's going on?

well, obviously, school hours are getting longer, but sleeping time gets shorter :/

and i don't know why.

actually, there's a few reasons why...

1. The LAST MINUTE HOMEWORK scenario.

what more to say? i mean, who doesn't?

2. The I LIKE THIS BOOK scenario.

you know that feeling when your eyes are literally glued to the book.currently reading agatha christie's mystery novels, "towards zero" it's called. how to solve this? i guess, i don't have to read the book at one shot.

3. The I HAD SOMETHING ON scenario.

could be a fixed tv time, or ballet classes that end half and hour later. it's inevitable! or maybe not. either way, how much could we do?

4. The I HAVE NO GOOD REASONS TO STAY UP ON THE COMPUTER scenario.

I don't touch the computer as much as I did, but still, there are those nights where I have nothing better to do, i guess. * like now?

i have no idea whatI just typed. and I can't bear to proofread it. all the nonsense and crap.

nothing much too important to talk about now, at the moment at least.

gahhhh.

dear readers, I hope you guys get good sleep. and I mean every night.

that was a lousy post from a mind that longs to have more sleep.

when sleep is the only thing I want to do.

2011-02-10T23:03:00.002+08:00

it's not very nice sleeping in class,

but I can't help it....

when the room feels a little warm,

or the cooling breeze gives a little chill...

my eye lids get heavy.

my eyes stare past things.

body feels restless.

head gets a little dizzy.

all I hear is noises, good enough for a lullaby.

does the fishing nod, once or twice.

permanently 'looking' at the same page.

opens my eyes and say 'Amen'.

red, I'm starting to like it:)

I don't like red.

I used to like red when I was 5, until a boy said that was a boy's colour * flashback: power ranger days? only yellow and pink were eligible for girls to like. lame, but that was very serious for 5-year-olds*

but maybe I like it now:)

why so?

because I got my old short bookshelves replaced by a RED HOT BILLY ;)

I can fit more books, small stuff, and have something to fascinated:P

where did the old short book shelve go?

to jo's room of course.

I don't mean I like the colour,

cause it's a gory colour to me :/

oh well,

it's still is a nice colour:)

treasuring School Days.

2011-02-06T12:06:00.004+08:00

as you all might be a aware of,

it's my graduating year :(

so, I've decided to take the time enjoying what students are suppose to enjoy doing.

I haven't figured that part yet, I'll make a list of things I want to do by graduation, soon.

as for now,

here are the few happenings :)

CNY celebration interclass competition thing, that's our end product:)

cassandra working on the description of our oh so cute bunny:)

the fluffy tail ;)

teachers going up to sing, for who? idk :/

epic.

note, miss chong, english teacher, is in pink.

she's cute. got to take a pic with her someday :P

last but not least,

ms PREMA's notice boards had this..

she's also another adorable teacher x)

must take a pic with her too!

and her I"M VERY ANGRY face :P

being a student is fun :)

* just keeping the optimism.

Oh FEB, you come too soon.

2011-02-06T11:35:00.003+08:00

I didn't see FEBRUARY coming soon.

it scares me.

so it's the gongxifacai season:)

this year, I did not make a trip back to kl :(

instead, as a family, we went to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS :) :) :)

the thing is...

more than half the population in Singapore are CHINESE,

so, on the FIRST DAY, most of them will be gone visiting ppl and collecting ANGPAOS.

that is why, this was the best time to go to u.studios :)

I mean, half the crowd is gone! that means, half the line up time, half the competitors! LOL.

and a unexpected surprise,

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was on rehearsal run :) :) :)

*that means, ride at your own risk

mimi bravely decided to try on the roller coaster.
Cylon's :) :) :)
it's the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA :D :D :D

seriously, you've got to try it!

it's going to be officially open by the end of this month! :D :D

it'll definitely be worth of the 66 dollars!

well, that's unless you're expecting, not physically fit, have motion sickness, get heart attacks, and maybe ~~a coward~~ un-daring.

that was a great start for FEBRUARY:)

oh, on a random note,

I had problems spelling FEBRUARY.

it was difficult for me.

with a R or no R, it looks the same.

plus, it's much more difficult pronouncing it with a R.

FE-BRUUU-AH-RI.

I made a point.

talk about FEBS,

Vday is coming up,

this year, I'll have a different approach,

not only will I celebrate single-ness :D

but will I also discriminate couples wannabes.

I'm still a teen, and there are many sickening *teen couples that think they are so grown up having to hold the opposite gender's hands in public that'll make them great.

I mean, it's fine, you found someone you like that also likes you.

but well,

gahh, too complicated for me. fine.

I'll just stick to celebrate the freedom of a single person then.

btw,

regarding the "Mr Torres turning blue" issue,

all I have to say is,

it's' fine if he wants to leave, I guess.
the team survived many games without him while he was injured too:)

when will my next visit be to kl?

soon, I suppose, I hope, I wish :/

can't wait to ~~get ang paos~~ see you ppl x)

how do you feel?

2011-01-30T19:05:00.002+08:00

what happen to you?

I'm feeling a little sick

oh, ok.

*sees a bandaged arm*

OMG, ARE YOU OK?

I had a little accident.

get well soon!

different urgency isn't?

why?

I guess we get easily moved by the things we see,

not much about feelings that doesn't concern ourselves.

if I told you kids are starving in another part of world,

how much would you react?

if I showed you pictures of kids skinny, bony and hardly human-like,

will that be enough to touch your heart?

bringing to a smaller scale.

I think we need to think a little more how other's feel.

it isn't always about us.

you might say,

"what will I get in return?"

"I feel taken advantage."

"they didn't say thank you :("

if you still think so,

it's probably you haven't gotten over the whole " what about me?"

where am I getting to?

treat others the way you want to be treated.

that's probably the thought that nudged me.

yea. I feel so much better.

I'm in the mood for dancing.

2011-01-30T12:08:00.004+08:00

HELLO PEOPLEEE! :D

I'm feeling slightly more alive:)

a little more cheerful.

moving even to the faintest beat heard.

insanely smiling to myself.

school work doesn't seem like an obligation,

a busy lifestyle is just a challenge for me to juggle,

being vain is nothing wrong b'cause I'm a girl:)

skinny jeans as my motivation to lose weight.

actively running around in circle ( or making unnecessary detours up and down the stairs )

lost that urge for the computer:)

enough about me.

I haven't heard much from you peeps:(

you know,

when someone you don't really know comes and say,

"HI! long time no see *more like chat* I miss you! do you miss me?"

my our reaction would normally be like,

"err.. that's sweet of you, but maybe I don't really miss you to be honest?"

of course, I won't type that out.

instead, something like..

"Hi, yes, long time no chat."

but you're not that random someone who i don't really know ( as far as I'm concern, most of my readers are ppl I know personally one way or another )

so I'm really missing you guys! D:

ok, that was a little random.

* what's the effort with the colors then? :/ *

yes yes,

I MISS YOU ALL:)

p.s I hope I'm not that random someone who you don't really know :/

remember terry fox run 2009?

2011-01-22T13:23:00.003+08:00

2011-01-20T18:43:00.002+08:00

again, I have no inspiration.

again, I'm leaving this place lifeless.

again, I'm on hiatus.

again, I'll call it a break.

again, I'm complaining.

again, I have nothing better to say.

I'm sorry.

I miss those youthful days, when things were just so happening.

via the Jeremy production

fact: people get old.

2011-01-16T16:53:00.002+08:00

it's about time I realize...

I'm get old by the second.

so this youthfulness is slowly draining.

fact accepted. *sigh :(

remembering ppl who were 17.

like carmen, she dyed her hair.

like leanne, she seemed so mature to handle stuff!

like brainc, he was so good with the little kids.

like sean, he was a fun leader.

like julian, looked up to him like senior.

like tania, she seemed so cool with her studies.

and what am I doing?

pathetically blaming Os for taking away my freedom and fun.

so,

it"s about time I realize heavy stuff, and DO SOMETHING about it.

like now, I'm off to mug.

ciaos:)

no time for the com.

2011-01-13T22:51:00.002+08:00

amazing.

the power of O levels.

I'm so busy with school work,

I can't be bothered to even touch the com.

I don't feel excited checking mails.

facebook doesn't really make me productive.

blogging? I'm too drained to even think.

but you know,

that'll just label me a " busy girl"

and I'll be such a hypocrite ( I mean, I told many not to be a BUSY PERSON for new year's greetings)

trying to balance my work time,family time, leisure time, friends time and feeling-lazy time:)

こんばんは！

あっとゆうまに　もう二週間終わりました！

2011-01-11T19:25:00.002+08:00

oh my feet aches.

week 1.

2011-01-09T23:56:00.002+08:00

I wouldn't say 'it was terrible'

it's just that, I felt a little behind.

ENG - totally no confidence

MATH - we're behind syllabus.

Add MATH - way wayyyyy behind, and I could answer 2/5 questions for the first test. I see a prosperous year ahead...

Phy - we're so slowwww. teacher still talking about radiation.

Chem - forgotten how to write the equation thingy:/

Bio - haven't had a class yet.

Chinese - Os is in JUNE. i really really reaaaaaaaaaaly need an A for that :(

some things aren't really important to emphasize.

hopefully things will turn out better next week.

i said, hopefully.

meanwhile,

I need to practice speaking chinese.

no, i won't blog in chinese cause that'll be too ridiculous for me.

till then,

feeling encouraged by the thought of "God controls my future"

こんばんは！　

みなさん　おげきですか？

here goes sec 4

2011-01-06T22:06:00.002+08:00

Oh My Goodness.

it's finally THE YEAR .

first day of school,

I've been terribly excited!! :D

if you followed me for more than a year or so, you'll notice that I've been hoping from a school to another for the past 3 years, and so, i don't get to meet the same group of people again!

that explains why I'm so trilled to see familiar faces:) i miss them.

met up with henny to school.

and guess what?

traffic jam. why? KEPO parents sending their primary/secondary 1 kids to school by car. yorrrrrrr :/

and then guess what?

we were late. thank God no pink slips on the the first day:) embarrassingly entered the hall to our seats.

totally, a good start isn't it?

throughout the whole day, ( and in fact the whole week)

teachers kept emphasizing O LEVELS. gahhhh.

I feel super the panic with all the talks.

it's like, I'm going to sit for it in a month.

so kancongggg!!

at least I feel the urgency to put in extra effort.

went to 2 polytechnic open house,

i mean, we already are looking into education after graduation :O

this year is all about sacrifices.

from computer time, to sleeping time.

cut cut cut cut!

that'll explain my absence in the virtual world.

till then.

XOXO

2011-01-03T16:54:00.002+08:00

Greeeetings people :D

currently still under the stupid 3-hours-per-week-on-the-computer rule.

school starting tmr,

I have packed my bag and the souvenirs, but yet to finish up the homework :/

not a very good start.

I can't imagine myself becoming brainy in 10 months.

well, I need a brain for a start.

working on it.

meanwhile.

taking the effort to collect 17magazines ;D

just bought "seventeen feb 2011 issue, japan edition" :D

90% of the time I have no idea what's written, pictures of clothes for winter :/

oh well.

Love you peeps :)

oh, Jesus loves you too :D

the end welcomes a new beginning

26 Dec 2010

2010-12-26T21:07:00.003+08:00

my day went better than expected, hope you guys had a great day too! :)

woke up at 8! what was my motivation waking up that early? mom :/ can`t aford to show her how sloppy I became this holiday... once I got up, everyone was ready for OMOCHUTSULKI! :D

whazzatt?! you forgot again？I post about this every year around this time... you know, the rice whacking thing? yea yea, japanese sticky rice, aka OMUCHI.

I decided to help inside the house, cause, It`s close to the heater:P suzu yuzu and kei came :D yuzu can walk! run! talk! and continues to be ever so cuuuute! OMG. so adorable!! *melts*

basically, I helped to settled the whacked sticky rice, either into square MOCHI or ready to eat MOCHI. mimi brought a few friends, taiki brought many friends, jo had a few too. I had one :) MORITA RINA :D

before she came, I was litle nervous, the fact that, I thought she was kinda cool at dressed very fancy. I didn`t want to feel underdressed :/ so she arrived :D ok, we`re both wearing jeans:) I don`t feel so bad after all:P

ost of the kids went to the park to play so it was pretty quite, we ate some MOCHI and talked, I`m glad she`s doing fine and enjoying school life. did I mention she is in the school`s club`s BAND?! like a real band? the drums the guitar the vocalist REAL band!? so cooool right? they`re doing covers at the moment. so coool wiehhhh!!

anyway, we got into the house cause it was getting chilly, we took a few snaps, and double confirmed our emails and stuff. talked abit more, and it became dark already! her brother came too, same age as jo, another footie freak;) they got to stay over for dinner after most of the ppl left. we played card games and stuff, and it was dinner time!

ice cream before dinner, sushi and pizza:D she eats! duh, but so skinnny! :O my mom was super high talkiing to suzu!! so funny to see them seeming `young`.

we played cards again, time passed so fast, it`s time to sleep:) good night ppl! :P

2010-12-23T21:16:00.003+08:00

today is a public holiday in Japan. King`s birthday if I`m not mistaken.

for the record, I woke up at 8. earliest for this month. wow. feels terrible @.@ I need more sleeeeep! I got ready ASAP cause we were leaving for SHIBUYA. why? grandma insisnt looking at Monet`s drawing at a museum. I`m not a big fan just looking at pictures, but I`ll go cause of grandma:) jo came along too.

SHIBUYA is the very place where the ` HACHI KO ` story started ( it has became a movie). you know, the dog that came to that train station everyday to meet its owner, but the owner died one day, and HACHI, the dog, didn`t know, so it keep waiting at the station. the faithfulness of the dog. yea, so they have a wall drawing pictures of the dog HACHI.

the place is FULL OF PPL! my goodness. at the crossroad, 2 or 3 minutes just for ppl to cross. crazy. it`s easy to get lost:/

we got to the museum thing, looked around, brought back some memories of france, 2005.

Took the metro for half an hour to ASAKUSA. sleep while sitting still gives you a neck ache :/ ASAKUSA! the KAMINARIMON! typical tourist spot. remember this place sarah? surei? and we had OKONOMIYAKI? and MONJYAYAKI? like japanese pancake? it took us some time to find the place, my tummy was starving :/ poor tummy. food was GOOOOOOD :D absolutely love that place. ever visit me? I`ll deffinitely bring you there!

from there, we went to ikebukuro. the usual TOKYU HANDS and JUNKUDO :D last minute christmas shopping with mimi. we got gifts for grandparents, coussies, parents, aunts and uncles. that sorta last minute :/ it wasn`t too bad hanging out with mimi after all:)

after that, we walked to the bookstore. I got `and there was none left` by Agatha Christie. it`s like some mystery kind of book. I could say my second attempt from reading anything other than love/romance/chic flick novels after Da Vinci Code:P I liked the summary, so I`ll start off it that soon! yay:D 5 books to read :O

from there, we grabbed dinner at `pronto` the spaghetti/coffee shop. absolutely love that too! another one of the list for the must eat place :D

hopped on the train and headed home. we did our wrapppings! and now the tree looks more like a christmas tree with the pressies layed under! wohooO! :D

mimi and I will work on the deco tonight while everyone is asleep. till then ppl!

God bless this christmas season!

22 Dec `10

2010-12-22T23:16:00.003+08:00

sharks. again snoozed for an hour @.@ I thought I was going to be late for my last shift :/

slipped into a white turtle neck, uniqlo jeans, striped scarf and purple overcoat;) that is like my uniform! :P

for the last time this year, I cycled and took a train to work. aww, I`m going to miss work! the train was exceptionally full today! bwahhh. packed with ppl in the train, and it`s not even rush hours!

again, I can`t stop admiring the lovely school uniforms. mini plait checked skirts, arogant blazers, with thier hairs down, and mufflers up to thier nose. SO CUUUTE! well, for the guys, thier sorta tall :P I like thier messy hair. i mean, some have like this certain shape, but I like it just messy. it`s kinda cute too:P bwahahahhaa. ok, ignore that crap. I LOVE jap uniform..

my shift was fine:) well, I hope to help out next time I`m around again ;) somethign to look forward to:) I did more of the cleaning the utensil containers, coffee filter and stuff like that. I`m going to miss work :/

dropped by the bakery to get some `NEJIPAN`, direct translations for twist bread. with sugarrr! bwahahaha. ok, it`s not good to take too much of that. jo wanted some anyway, so I did some shopping before heading home.

got back home and got lazy again :/ helped out a little for dinner, and we watched stomp the yard 2. it was so-so. i mean, the storyline was alittle difficult to understand, like what was that scene for?! and it didn`t make some sense here and there. plus, the main actor wasn`t that cute :/ but the `stomps` were ok to make it up for it:P

end up doing christmas preparations:) rings and banners, gifts for grandparents:) mimi and I did team work :D

you know, I think U2 looked good when they were young x) oh, and I like P!nk.

I`m cool.

2010-12-22T20:47:00.003+08:00

when I take my socks off before I sleep, they feel like I took them out from a freezer.

7 degrees is not cold enough to snow :(

my contact lens chill my eyeballs :/

my right hand is trying to warm my left, at the same time my left is trying to warm my right.

room temperature is 20 degrees. I can melt.

It`s too early. It`s too cold; I can`t get out of bed.

wearing 2 layers of socks doesn`t make any difference :/

those were some thoughts to picture how it feels like.
thought something like that could give you guys a better picture ;)

Welcome ともだち！

2010-12-21T19:55:00.003+08:00

I got at 830. and snoozed it till 930. I`m improving in waking up early ok!? got ready for my shift in the aftrernoon.

today there weren`t as many ppl as the last few shifts, so I was given cooking work. more like brainless repitetive work that anyone could do. all I had to do was to pull out the string of dung in the shrimps. you know, the black line you see on the back of the shrimps. those stuff I`m talking about. I used a needle like stick and spent an hour doing a pile of it @.@ it was a lot! come to think of it, I was dealing with sht today:/ bwahahaha. that disgusted myself. did the usual dishes.

got home and became uber lazy. watched some tv. and read some biology. I NEED TO START STUDYING :/ dinner was good:) jo mi and I fought for the fried salmon. gahhh jo won :/

had a HURO. and I`m planning to sleep early again! :)

here`s a little greeting..

20 Dec `10

2010-12-20T22:35:00.017+08:00

I`ve been waiting very long for this day :D am ever excited :D

why? cause I had a date with KAHORIN and her friend WAYAN :D wohooo!

woke up around 9 30 ( not very impressive for sleeping at 11 ), was too excited :D I thought my outfit overnight :P skirt with black leggings, green turtlr neck, (sarah`s old broken ) boots and a strip purple jacket;)

we were to meet up at 12 30 pm. got there a little early. was waiting, and watching kids walking in and out. and then, I heard someone callin ` JASMINE?! ` and I was like KAHORIN!!!!! :D super happy to see her ;D she has not changed a bit! so young!

whlie I was waiting, thought I`ll give you a picture how it looks like in a train station!

so we met up with her friend called WAYAN :) she`s half indonesian and jap but born and raise in japan so she`s literally JAPANESE. I wanna be japanese too :/ at the same speaking english of course. anyway, she`s pretty :) has that indonesian mix look ;)

we got on to a train, and did some talking, my, my japanese is horrible, need to do somthing about it... :/ we went all the way to OMIYA. main item, SWEET PARADISE.

this is outside OMIYA train station.

Sweet Paradise? wazzat? it`s CAKE buffet, my friend:D you pay 1480yen for 70 mnts. roughly 45 ringgit? 20 singapore dollars? well, I shall take up the challenge.

had my first plate.
my second, just simply dumped my cakes on the plate. couldn`t care much about presentation.

and small cup of spaghttei with ommlette rice and th botttom.

and then I was DONE! fulll. gosh. yes, wasted. would you like to take me seat? :P

after that, we walked around stores, talking about music, that kept the conversation going :) WAYAN is a big fan of avril lavigne. kahorin on the other had like this band in japanese, La cien something:/ I can`t remember th name. will ask her soon again.

and then we took PURIKURA PICS :D wohoo! sadly, my green top was not visible ( the green back ground :/ ) we took fun pictures :) several in stickers, and 2 in data.

walked around, and kahorin had dilemma buying fake eyelashes. yes, it`s a trend. there are like 2 racks to choose from @.@ anyway, after that we headed back cause it gets dark by 5.

we bid WAYAN goodbye, and walked home from the station. kahorin lives very near my area:) so it was in the same direction. stopped by her house. LOVE HER ROOM :D it has the roof shape on the ceiling of her room. so coool! she showed me the graduation book for junior high. so nostalgic :) owh, japanese facebook is called mixi. interesting. no, i do not intend to make one cause I`m very hopeless with japanese. Kahorin also showed me Japanese version of SEVENTEEN magazine!! maybe I`ll buy one issue one day :) and bring back for memory! and maybe send Kahorin singaporean version of seventeen :) yay!

had dinner at hanayayohei. sukiyaki! :D watched a few episodes of conan with jo and mimi:P

and here I am again, on the com. sharks. wasted 2 hours blogging. and facebooking. gahhh. help :/

album: Dec in Japan

2010-12-20T10:08:00.003+08:00

I wanted to try the McPork, heard it`s 100 yen?! :O well, I bought the TEXAS burger :D

JUICY ;)
this is TAKEHIRO ;)

I played with his hair, and said, OH LOOK! BECKHAM.

He went to the mirror and modify it, he was like, BECKHAM!!

I guess he likes this better :P

OH! have you heard of MOS CAFE?!

I`ve only seen MOS BURGERS/

pic with grandma @ ginza

*edit*

it`s a sunday! and i miss church. yes I do. I feel rather disconnected lately. someone, I don`t mind a sermon:)

got up rather late, oh I got good news, i wasn`t the last one out of bed! HAHAHAHA. :D jo was the last. beat himn by half and hour? ( good job jasmine ;)

I did try to some social studies homework. and I DID :D as well as history. gosh, great acheivenment there :D

anyway, went to the vid store in the evening with coussies. I think I`ve started to get closer to my coussies:) although they are mostly guys, age less than 10, so they are full of cartoons, tv shows, threndy slangs, etc. but they are so cute :D in fact I think the second boy is like some jap fella :D I mean typical japanese looking. bwahahhaha. well, he`S hot tempered alittle. alwasy get bullied by th elder brother. hhahaha. even yuma, the younger one, pushes him, and there goes the fight again. HAHAHAHA. I normal don`t bother looking at guys fighting, but htis is CUTE. ok, it`s not for thm to do so, but you have to see them, they way they give each other stares and push each other on the floor. they are so tiny!!! :D so cute x)

got home. and omg. I went to sleep at 11! :O obviously, my couldn`T sleep till past midnight. ish. need to do something about that before school reopens :/

18 Dec `10

2010-12-18T22:30:00.002+08:00

sharks. I got up at 11:/ wasted many hours sleeping. and i`m still yarning :/

immediately lunch. ramen :D

left home to go to ASAHI pool:D yes! we are going to an indoor pool:D with my cousins. so, grandma, jo, mimi, taiki, yuma and I!

we got there and got our lockers, the one thing I don`t like about it is that, well, there`s not much of privacy. well, FIrst of all, you change at the locker, you strip and wear your bathing suits right there. #2 the bathroom is a public bath area, so a big bath for everyone to use. and the cubicles are like parking areas, imagine, you do your thing between walls with out a door. it`s rather disturbing to see ppl walking around with no clothes back and forth. I mean, we`re all human, but well, some ppl ( like me ) are just slightly more concern about their privacy.
of course, it`s split male and female. DUH.

we played tag ( which was against the rules ), we played throw and fetch ( which was also against the rule of `no throwing`), and hang around and the sauna, sorta relaxing at the bubbling are. in fact, there`s alot of bubbling area and water fountaint thing that`s like a mesage. I tried doing laps, but, well, gahh. I wasn`t in the mood to pant and feel jelly-o.

then we got took a bath with other strangers =.= gosh. with grandma and mimi @.@ deff not loving this. maybe I`m over reacting, but like, seriously, would you like taking a bath with your either grandparent and your sibling when you are already like 16?! i hear you saying ` err no` yeap, I don`t think so too.

oh well. we had snack. some bread, nuggets, maybe a little ice cream, jo had all that AND yakisoba. got back home and had JAPANESE CURRY again :P it`s very nice to be with the family, I mean, it`S not complete my parents, uncle, maybe some more distant coussins, but I`m happy just to spend time with any of them:) playing ` I push you down! muahahah ` or ` throw hana on the soft sheets` HAHAHA. ok. they aren`t very suitable for kids that age, but they seem to like it! plus they gave me the idea :P hana greets me by puching me with her cute palms. omg. so sweet of her even to remember to greet me:)

after dinner, sharks, on the com. this time for a good reason, social studies research.

crap. it`s midnight again :/ good night!

Bibian-chan says so.

2010-12-18T20:30:00.003+08:00

I guess you guys are probably tired of me blabbing about my day and experiences here.
it`s ok:)

my good friend, Vivian, applied for a homestay program to japan!!!
she`s back already,
and so she has done 2 lovely post on her point of view, what she saw, what she felt, what she thought in japan :D

she has those tiny details captured in photographs:)
agree with me, she does have a good camera!

so, there`s 2 parts of her journey,

Orientations and Flights

and

Hello Sendai

so coooool :)
she was on her own flying, staying, exploring.
I wanna do something like that toooo!
maybe to some european country or something.
at least before I end schoool :/

okairinasai, bibian;)

can`t believe I`m awake at 8 in the morning. it`s been awhile since I got up something close to school hours. *yarn*

grandpa dragged me out of the house to the frech market. OMG. freezing cold. should have worn 2 more turtle necks and possible wind breaker-ish over coat. scaft and a cotton over coat over a white T didn`t help me at all. gahhh. I thought I coulnd`t make it out of the market @.@ grandpa bought fruits and tea. and then we were for more grocery shopping. he likes shopping:)

got back home and left immediately with auntMichiko to watched YUMA doing some OMOCHITSUKI. actually, we were there for the food:P I saw a whole crowd of (trendy) mothers waiting for the food to be served. lol. It`s called, free lunch. they were FAST. lol, in a few moments everything was empty. I guess everyone was hungry? LOL. auntMichiko said, ` so japanese`.

got back home, and had lunch. proper lunch. KATAYAKISOBA:D spent the afternoon reading. picked up YUMA from his bus stop:) played with yuma and had snack. kids are acutally fun to play with:) as long as they don`t go nonsense with cartoon characters and imaginary transforming weapons =.= and then HANA came along:) she likes being thrown to a soft stacked futons. haha. she`s so cute:) they was she laughs is like ` KEKEKEKEKEEKE` HHAHAHAA xD

dinner was fine:) and totally wasted my time on the computer. sharks it`s almost 1. what happen to sleep by midnight?! :/

currently listening to KT tunstall in an wind breaker-ish overcoat and under a blanket hoping my toes won`T turn blue.

2010-12-17T23:08:00.002+08:00

goodmorning! forced to get out of bed by 9. gahhh. my sleeeep :/

oh yes, it`S grandpa`s birthday!

おじいちゃん!
お誕生日おめでとう！

had my part time shift:) I LOVE MY JOB:D

got back and reading the book ` He`s the One I don`t want ` finished it. whoops. that totally defeats the purpose for me to fill up those tiny spare moments on the trains, bus, etc. anyway, the book was ok, I thought it was little cheesy in the sense that it was quite predictable. and alittle wierd along the way. it writes like sophie kinsella, so I`m quite comfortable reading it:P

the day was pretty simple. OMG. I slept at 12. for once that`s kinda early:D

Re: 15 Dec `10

2010-12-17T14:01:00.003+08:00

I`m sry.

I just needed a little break.

flash backs and rewinds.

I TRIED to wake up at 9. tried, doesn`t mean I have to succeed right? well, I got up an hour later or so. ANYWAY, got into my fav green-heat-tech-turtle-neck-T and headed to the train station with grandpa.

well, you see, I`m going to meet up with grandma(who was having chi kong classes, again) at YURAKUCHO! what for? we are going to the museum! yay? oh come on, the museum isn`t all that bad, it`s just a collection of old history stuff under one roof.

anyway, grandpa and I drove to the train station and got to YURAKUCHO, YURAKUCHO is actually my grandpa`s former work area! so he knows the place pretty well. so we ate TEMPURA:D grandpa said the old granny waiter is still working even after my grandpa retired. Later, we found out, she`s been working for the past 42 years and now she is 83 :O OH MY GOODNESS. that`s a very long time!

we walked around, and got to the park that the mesuem was held. met up with grandma! grandpa then left for home. so it was just grandma and I in the museum.

you`ve probably already knew that the museum was about da vinci. Leonardo da Vinci! mostly about his inventions. I realized, he must have loved phy and bio! it was a good insight what were his thoughts like. I was surprise he invented the ball bearing, many simple working machenism, and observations on the human body. talk about the human body, didn`t know the drawing ,Vitruvian Man, had an interesting discovery to it!

The Vitruvian Man, ok, first of all, I see this picture almost every day, it`s on my freakin addmath text book. right smack in the middle of the cover. super enlarges too. had no idea what it meant, till I got some explantation for all the circles and squares! ok. here goes, this is a drawing about the proportion of man! meaning, the length of this and that should be this and that. right, a list from wikipedia...

-a palm is the width of four fingers
-a footis the width of four palms
-a cubit is the width of six palms
-a pace is four cubits
-a man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)
-"erit eaque mensura ad manas pansas" (Literally: "It will be the same in measure to the spread out hands.")
-the length of a man's outspread arms (arm span) is equal to his height
-the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man's height
-the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man's height
-the distance from the bottom of the neck to the hairline is one-sixth of a man's height
-the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of a man's height
-the distance from the middle of the chest to the top of the head is a quarter of a man's height
-the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of a man's height
-the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of a man's height
-the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man's height
-the distance from the bottom of the chin to the nose is one-third of the length of the head
-the distance from the hairline to the eyebrows is one-third of the length of the face
-the length of the ear is one-third of the length of the face
-the length of a man's foot is one-sixth of his height

to be honest, I can`t be bothered to read all of that, so if you did! good job! now don`t feel so bad about yourself if that didn`t quite describe YOUR proportion. cause everyone has their own unique shapes and sizes :) anyway, it`s an interesting observation by mr da Vinci.

and there was the famour mona lisa potrait, and the 25 secrets. ( which I don`t think they are much of a secret cause, it`s not a secret anymore since the whole public knows. ) I didn`t know it was vandalized ( a boy threw a rock and a mark left on the botton right ) and it was stolen in 1911 ( after being displayed about 5 years? ) and the tiny details that could tell da Vinci redrew some left fingers. and the additional laces and veil. kinda cool :)

and then there was the Last Supper, I didn`t get much insights about this, but now I know it was drawn on a WALL. yes, with a little door popping from the bottom.

after the musuem, grandma said, let`s go to GINZA! :D wohoooo! it`s like ` Paragon `, this is a whole area filled with $$ shops with super unreasonable prices. gosh. did you hear about the most expensive piece of land in japan? yes, it`s 7 floors high with cafes. oh, oh, did I mentioned before that UNIQLO had a building like 5 floor just for WOMEN wear. there`S the men`s clothes building too! crazaayy. you have the usual, gucci, prade, channel etc. omg. I can do nothing but just having a self degreading stroll along the street looking at clothes and accerssaries that`ll cost me a whole fortune!

well, the mian reason why we were here is because we wanted to visit YUKIchan:D she`s my mom`s mom`s sister`s daughter, OR my grandma`s sister`s daughter, OR my mom`S cousin, OR my 23 year old aunty. so young :O we were practically lost in GINZA. we got a text messag saying it was called DEIGEL　ディぜール. I had no idea with the address that came along with it. after wandering 3, 4 strets back and forth, we asked directions to head THERE. so we walked, and found DEISEL. well, deigel deisel, what are the chances? so we gave it a shot, grandma asked if YUKIchan worked here in this 3 floor Deisel, and YESH :D

I`ve met YUKIchan 2 times. once in my parent`s anniversary, 2nd time today. wow. she looks like grown up! anyway, it was a surprise for her too, I mean, the last time she saw me was when I was 11. now I`m like 16 turning 17 in half a year? gosh. I`m so oldddd :(

was browsing through the jeans and awfully cute skirts, eventually. I became an owner of a deisel jean:) thank you grandma, I promise I won`t make you buy anymore winter clothes for the next 3 years at least! seriously. I almost chock by the price tag. I promise this, I`m not buy long jeans for the next 3 years unless I gain 3 sizes. good deal. same goes to my headband. don`t remember? yea I dumbly paid for a 20 dollar haedband at evita peroni. so not buying another handband for another year at least. think of where those money could have been used for?! maybe 2 weeks worth of recess AND lunch meals in school! oh that poor hungry stomach. ANYWAY. yes got the jeans. wearing them till I gain that 3 size. we`ll never know.

so, had a little catch-up with YUKIchan. she`s sweet:) she sent us off, and we head to the waffle store. called MANNETEN. grandma had that nostalgia mood on, she was like, `this used to be ... `, ` I remember random celeb popped up on this street`, or `did you know this big road here used to be a river for the film winter sonata? ` coool:)

we head home by train, and she cycled home while I ran behind her. ( remember I came in a car with grandpa to the train station? ok, so you don`t remember. ) good work out? gosh. I need to exercise. I need motivation.

dinner was fine. I smell fresh cow leather.

Just give me a break.

2010-12-16T20:23:00.002+08:00

2010-12-14T21:13:00.002+08:00

I told myself I`ll wake up at 7. FAIL. and I sorta napped` another 3 hours. The reason why I woke up was mainly motivated by my part time job :P that`s how much I love my job :D

when I got up, grab breakfast, and rushed for work, it was raining, again :( so grandpa offered to drive me there!

part time was great:D this time I was more managable:D I did not make the chef wait and wash his own untensil like the last time. whoops. or was it something like that. that was last week, it`s long forgotten.

took the train home, I started to read jodi picolt`s second glance:D so far, I`m introduce to so many characters, so there it no particular storyline going on yet. at least for the 6th page I am on.

got back home safe, was STARVING. but decided to watch police academy 2! jo thinks it`s ridiculous. it`s ok gua. something from the 80s. I think the main guy is kinda cool :P

dinner was fine, we had KARE fish. it`s a name of a fish. in english, flatfish.

over dinner were talking about old days, and about the time when grandpa had more hair. LOL. so grandma brought out the pictures from the 70s! OMG, hilarious, I`ve never seen my grandpa with much black hair! he looked like someone from euthopia or something. and maybe a little russian. grandma looks excatly like my mom now. HAHHA. at least I`ll know what to expect in decades time:P

(finally) I spent some time on the books. panicked a bit on the homework, thanks fazley for the homework list! :P did math, and math. I feel a little better:P

I think I`ll keep to my 3 hour rule. yea.. i think I should. signing off!

13 Dec `10

2010-12-13T21:17:00.003+08:00

sharks. my day only started 10 30 this morning. grandpa was kinda annoyed I got up late.

went for some grocery shopping with grandpa, it`s rather nice to go out with grandpa:)at such an age, he`S still active, he jokes, he drives, he shops ( online ), he cooks(very well) and he pampers us 7 grandkids too much.

owh it was a bleak morning. wet and cold. if only it was below 0 degrees, it might have snowed. well, asking for a temperature below 0 degrees is asking for trouble. I`m shivering enough to make me burn calories. It was drizzling a little by noon.

had spaghetti and spend the rest of the time calling friends for their address, was it me or is the line that bad to reach? called a dozen times to a few ppl, and miraculous they all picked up, like 3 hours later? haha LOL. it`s ok, I probably called at the wrong time.

went to the post office, got christmas greeting sticker stamps! owh, btw, they said there are lots of posting this season, so it might take a week or 2, so sry if it arrives after christmas, totally POTONG wiehhh:/

sibling fight, argh. annoying.

watched bridal wars, with anne hathaway in it, I heard reviews saying it was bad, but it`s not too bad:) I like anne hathaway from `the devil wears prada`, `princess dairies 1, 2 ( was there 3?). and scribbled a little on phy homework. made a mental agreement with myself to actually study this week. starting with sciences. I didn`t bring the 3 blardy heavy text book for nothing.

dinner was lovely, talked over dinner with grandparents, grandma mixed up noble prize award with the academy award, granpa talked about the house, the history of it, the previosu house, burnt house during the war, schools he went, and thing like that, good insight to the family history :P

must be under futons by 12! it`s 10:40, I`m trying.

12 Dec `10

2010-12-13T20:24:00.002+08:00

every 15mnts I delay, 1.6km is added to my jog. that was how serious on how jo wanted me to wake up. so I got up, and owh yea, the cousins stayed over. so we all ( jo mi taiki tako grandma auntMichiko and I) went to jog.

it`s morning, goodness, 8 in the morning!! I`m making that my excuse why I was jogging like crap. and the wind was CRAZY. blowing at my direction, so I could barely breathe! and it`s cold, so gives that chilly effect. hot breath that`s blown out gives it such an odd feeling. I don`t feel tired (yet) cause my mind is too full on how terribly frigid it is. so I did a pathetic 1.6 and stopped with the lamest excuse (to myself ) that my shoelase needed to by tied. and then I did half a round with my aunt. Jo did 3 rounds. blahh! I feel defeated by my own brother. I think I need to start timing myself if I ever want to get serious in running. there were kids playing soccer, they look quite official, I mean, the long sleeved kits, they were pretty good, there were parents supporting, adult referees running around, small kids loose. we walked a round more and headed back.

we only took less than 30mnts to do all of that. the kids ended up watched conan on tv, while I had a HURO, we had plans to go out and take a train and do something! so just about 11, we left home, my coussis, Take, had some misunderstandings, and was lost for a while. oh boy.

all eleven of us took the train, and headed to LALAcity. about 5 stops on the musashino-sen. I Know, lalacity, LOL! no, it wasn`t all LALA:P it was a normal shopping complex, except that it had so much stores and a ROUND1 AMUSEMENT CENTER!

so, lunch first, most of them had ramen, I had McD :D I couldn`t the legendary McPork, so I had the Texas burger:D juicayyy! must try! there`S that weird pickle thing with mustard or something, and it taste like wasabi, but oddly nice:D japanese McD fries taste so different. seriously, no joke, that`s a MUST TRY!

wazzat? round1? it has a pachinko, UFO catcher area, bowling, darts, purikura, billiard, karaoke and a spocha. that sorta place. very teenage hang out area, but there are lots of young adults with kids there too! what`s spocha? it had like badminton, darts, golf, volley ball, bating, pitching, tennis, rodeo, roller skating, arcades, bball and soccer ALL INDOOR in one floor. well, the only rule is that you`re allowed to play for 10mnts and let the next person in line play next. that sorta thing. interesting place. yea, so we spent 90mnts there.

we didn`t do much due to the overwhelming. we played some silly tennis game, totally out of order. HAHAHAHA. taiki and jo at on side, take and I teamed up, and mimi randomly throwing balls around. LOL. felt kinda embarrassed with the queue looking, but it was a fun 10 mnts:) time past too quick:P played bball with jo, auntMichiko and uncleTantan. hahaha. auntMichiko is cute! she`s like so enthu about the game. did some swings on the golf thing, it`s been awhile since I last touched those clubs.

it was getting dark, so we went home, coussie`s had somewhere else to go, so we they got on a different stop. the rest of us got back home and thought about dinner ( it was only like 5 30) we decided on japanese curry!

remember the CoCoIchiban curry house from akihabara? I Guess not. will post pics on that. had the same omelete egg sweet curry with corn salad.

got back home, and rushed with the christmas greetings to send out TMR. gahhh.

under the futons by 2. I promised I tried to sleep early.

becoming japanese.

2010-12-12T00:44:00.004+08:00

yes, about time I feel my own roots. * lol what was that?

yes honey, I`m doing fine:)
all the proofs.

starting with the oh so painful HOT PINK leggings.
you know i don`t like pink, but this is exceptional:P

late nights are treating me nice:D
I am trying to study..
I look so japanese:D
love the purple jacket!

oh japanese-sy
and hope forever I`ll be x)
no, don`t mean I`m lala.

JO too I guess.
he was acting nerdy with his sweater tucked, pants pulled high, doing the dishes.
I got more embarrassing pics of him, but just saving his face :P

ps. I think certain angles under sunlight makes the eye bags disappear! :D

more pics coming up:)

for real: UNIQLO

2010-12-12T00:37:00.002+08:00

2010-12-12T00:22:00.004+08:00

REMEMBER SHINJUKU?!

tokyu hands? takashimaya? kinokuniya?

sometime on the 8th of Dec?

oh nvm.

so while I was at shinjuku,

I mentioned donuts with grandma didn`t i?

here are the shots:D

we bought a box:D

and ate one on the spot ;)

they had a second floor to that krispy kreme BUILDING,

but it was full :O

grandma and her hot cocoa;)

they had lots of whip cream in it:D

oh, i don`t need to explain.

grandma took this.

that`s, er, jo ~~ruining my picture of the donuts~~ excited for the donuts.

he seemed very serious about donut business... LOL

that packaging was cute :D

grandpa took the first one. gahhh

he said he liked it, great, competition.

I can no longer take the rest of the pictures.

it`s too sad to see an empty box:(

there you go, japanese krispy kremes:D

11 Dec `10

2010-12-12T00:11:00.003+08:00

no, I did not JOG. `failure` written all ove my face. i thought I woke up, except, I went back to sleep. futons are cozy :D jo wasn`t mad, i mean he wanted to jog but i woke up an hour later, he could have ran on his own, but he didn`t, I wonder what does this imply? :P

lunch was AWESOME:D YAKITORIDONBURI:D that`s a mouth full, love it:D and then I got lazy and started watching a few episodes `mind your language`. mimi came over, and I told her about it, haha now she`s hooked up more than I am!

afternoon, spent time on maze drawing, and reading. to post up on those soon:)

yuma came over, played with him, kids are fun to play with! you just have to continue doing the imagining and keeping the enthu. i feel like a kid:)

went to the park, and it`s been a while since I last visit a park, we saw mimi and her frient emiri. we ran, chased, played games. kicked soccer balls aimlessly, stuff kids do to keep themselves entertained. i wish to be a kid again myself. i don`t want to get into my childhood, but I wanna say that I wish I did more than just the stupid computer.

got back, and left for the video rental store:D I got daniel powter and tatu this week to listen to. at least that`s called variety. jo loves the song ` next plane home` if you have it, maybe send it to him as a christmas gift? I can`t garantee you he`ll do your homework, but I`m sure he`ll appreciate it:)

watched toy story 3 AGAIN. I can total it up, 1 time in english, twice in japanese, and twice half way in explanation voices behing it. so 3 and a half ish? gahhhh @.@ take wanted to watch it, so we all tagged along. I`ve got bride wars and police academy to entertain myself with:D

FURO was gooood :) did some good old catching up with EMILY SOH. I used to sit next to her in form 2. very nice girl, loved her short haircut, but she`s keeping it long already.

oh, CARMEN HO, i love you cwazeeee woman for spamming my wall with your kisses. * oh my, that sounds sick :/

2010-12-10T21:15:00.002+08:00

we have now entered the 2nd digit number on the 12th month of the year 2010. I feel it`s the end of the year too soon :/

got up superb late. sharks. lesson learnt, do not stay up till 2 talking to myself. no, nothing significant to know. I remember I brought a hot pink stockings, and thought it`ll a total waste of effort if I don`t wear them, I got wore them with my blue shorts, and a red turtle neck. and I realized, it didn`t match at all in the end of the day :/ at least the purple overcoat didn`t make me look so awkward. Ihave a pic on that. will post it soon

so had lunch with grandpa, sushi:) and then grocery :/ and then I got back home, reading while warming myself wtih a kotatsu:) with some john mayer`s music. I have to return it this weekend.

not really productive. jo wants to jog tmr mornign and I`m not sure if I can wake up :/

so we watched the blind side after dinner. it was good:D after that, computer, and I realize it`S like 11 30 already? sharks, how to wake up to jog tmr??! :/

watching `mind your language` :P yes kerby, the one you told me about year ago, yes rei, the one you told me about just now :P

2010-12-10T20:52:00.002+08:00

wockay. what did I do again? oh yea, I got up extremely late, but not late enough to miss my shift:) today was pretty short, so, that means a short post on this day:D

got up at 10, the usuals, and I actually panicked, thought I was going to be late for my beloved dishwashing job. it`s not FUHNAY. wore a grey turtle neck T ( notice how many turtle neck I`ve got here, altogether 6? I love turtle necks in winter:) and simple jeans and left home for work, ( HO HO, I feel so grown up:D )

I cycled, park the bike, ( one day that`ll be a CAR for me to drive and park it ) walked to the station, and started envying those awfully cute japanese uniforms! OMG, i wanna be a japanese japanese. like purely japanese that does japanese stuff and speaks proper cool japanese. on second thought, 4 languages is quite an acheivement too... but still, nothing beats that uniform! bwahhhh, anyway, got to my shift on time.

wore my oh-so-coool black sleak apron. eh, I like that apron ok? i mean, yea, i didn`t like the blue aprons in school, cause I`m not suppose to look like a dish washer in school right?! at least this oh-so-cool black sleak apron is serving it`s true purpose, that is, making me look professional with me job * HAHAHAHHAHA, it`s ok to laugh, I`m laughing at myself too. * so an apron is there to keep my grey turtleneck free from dirty oily water splating. i wish for some mask actually, you know, to protect my face.

oh, this shift, I learnt to do the cofffee thang. wohooo, like basics to know before workin at starbucks:D ( I`m almost there REI x) one long, is that what you call it? next I need to know the expresso terms. working on it...

after that, went to pick up the cakes for my grandparent, we are celebrating thier birthdays together, today, later, at my uncle`s place, which is the restaurant I`m working at. so, whole day at working area:D

got back home, and, can`t remember what I did, nothing much significant, more or less on the computer, again :/

left home and went to UN, that`s what the restaurant is called, where we`re celebrating for our grandparents, which is also where I`m working at. so, there are my grandparents, aunty michiko, taiki, take, yuma, hana, jo, mimi, and I. 10 of us. mostly kids. omg they made so much noise, I was so embarrassed. like totally. DINNER WAS GOOD:D love the little bits and all the details to make up the dish, oh, i notice the plates were exceptionally clean too:P then we presented the cake, and made a toast, and got home quickly cause everyone had to go to school. well, except me:(

got back home, did the chirstmassy stuff, and a little computer. I`ve been kinda feeling things are moving too fast and some incidents/actions/situations just can`t be explained, odd feeling. no, nothing specific. just a thought.

tehee, now, off to post 10 Dec `10 ;)

2010-12-09T15:00:00.002+08:00

I was terribly nervous. I had an appointment to visit my junior school to say hello to Sawada sensei. to be honest, my japanese is not really that great, my conversations are very dry, and my word use during a polite conversation isn`t always accurate. so it`s best to pretend to be a foriegner and speak english only. but i can`t do that here:/

so I got up, nervous, and got ready to leave. thank God someone past by while I was taking off my shoes to enter, and thank God she recognize me:D so I got to see Sawada sensei without much trouble. Sawada sensei had the vids from last year while I was around, a dance group, my 2 speeches. omg. so embarrassing. HAHAHA. now I know I had terrible hair. WHY DIDN`T ANYONE TELL ME?!? please, if you see some hair standing awkwardly, LET ME KNOW. now ans forever more. but it was so nostalgic, I felt my teary eyes.

we talked about singapore and stuff, malaysia, japan, and good ice cream stores, big shopping malls. that sort of thing. very informative. just before I left, I went to Jo`s class because I thought he forgot something, in the end, he said he didn`t need it =.= jo was having cooking class:D with the dark brown godiva apron writen PASSION. HAHAHAHAHA so cute. he`S doing fine in school.

got back home and left again with grandma to her chi kong classes which started 1. we met with her friends and had lunch first, avocados:) before we rushed to her classes.

i thought chi kong was easy, not, it was so hard because we didn`t move, or very minimal movement. everyone is so still and queit.... I could only hear myself shaking my legs cause it felt so stiff:/ they did thier solo thing, with some routines, it`s like dancing:P i can show you next time. HAHAHA or maybe not. then more routines, and I just watched, and made a fool of myself following them from behind.

grandma wanted to go for the 2nd chi kong class, but I decided to leave and go to SHINJUKU on my own. so, it`s my expidition on my own!oh no, even i felt worried for myself:/ First, I got on to the wrong platform, total panic to decide to get on the train or not. cause they have express trains, semi express trains, local train, and other names ALL on the SAME PLATFORM and SAME DIRECTIONS> how confusing is that. thank God I got to the right pltform and boarded the right train at the right time and some how ended up in SHINJUKU.

here comes another episode, I walked walked walked walked walked, and realize, I was walking the total opposite direction from my destination =.= great, so I walked walked walked walked walked back to the station and verify a billion times before walking again. got to takashimaya. and the takashimaya is very diff from the ones in singapore, it`s like PARAGON :O all the binks and the rich ppl`s hang out place. so expensive my purse feels offended. I went into tokyu hands, and very lovely shop to buy all of your souveniers. I bought lots of stuff:)

I knew there was a kinokuniya somewhere nearby, and here again, I set foot walking, walking, cross bridge walk walk walk, and I ended up at krispy kreme`s and lots of decorated trees. beautiful place, but that`s not kinokuniya:/then I looked over the bridge, and realized, I walked to the wrong direction, AGAIN. so I walk walk walk cross bridge, walk walk walk, and got to the 8 floor high kinokuniya! just looking;)

met up with grandma, and I bought a new school bag:D jeans colour, like it:) will take a pic of it some time with my uniform next year ;) we stopped by krispy kreme, ate a donut, drank hot chocolate with darn goooo0d whip cream:)

おばあちゃん　と　出かけて、たのしかったよ！
一日じゅ、　ありがとう！

got back home, with the krispy kreme kept horizontal the whole way back,in the train( it took up a lot of space in the squeezy train:/ I`m sry! ) , and while cycling back( was a little nervous, but that was ok:)

dinner was fine. SABA fish:D oily:D that`s not very feminine, nevermind:P

oh, i upgraded skype:D now I can group video callll!! yay:D oh, I heard it only last 28 days? darn. so skype grouping as much as I can:)

where`s the PICS?! hold on there sweetie;)

2010-12-07T20:07:00.002+08:00

today marks jo`s first day in winter school:D and my first day in part time job:D

jo woke me up a few times at 7 in the morning. he kept asking how to wear his uniform =.= like what`s so difficult?! you have PE clothes, white shirt, sweater and finally the blazer, just be sure not to tuck in the sweater into the pant like a nerd, and the tie is tucked in neatly in the sweater. totally ruined my 7 hours in a row sleep. my 9 o`clock alarm rang, thought I snoozed it, but I got out of bed at 10 instead. so much for a good start.

did the usuals, did some of the christmas gifts. changed to a black turtle neck T and simple jeans, grabbed my coat and headed to work:D i was NERVOUS. grandpa showed me the way there by train, and hopefully I won`t take the wrong train back home:P

so what am I doing? I`m supposedly volunteering, that means no pay, to help at my uncle`s. just needed to kill time. mom said it was way better than sitting infront of the computer. so, I`m doing dishes! I can`t be a waitress cause I think my jap will screw up orders, and i don`t think I qualify to cook. so dishes was the only available job. in fact, I love it:D although i do envy your starbucks part time job with privileges, I enjoy working in a cool restaurant playing with the washing machines:D in fact, the machines do most of the job:P I just place them in, and take them out when they are ready! I worked for 2 hours:) I even got some duty card:D like you write down time in and time out. i feel like I`m really really working! so fun:D and who said working was HARD? ok, idk, will see in time...

stopped by dasio and some book store. bought sisterhood and some pants thing kimmie told me about. I still have to read another 3 books I bought. now I`ve got 4:O lots to keep me busy with.

got home and was told to do some shopping, again, more like, get tmr`s breakfast. the bakery! I`ll take a pic of that place some other time, It`s a very cute house on the street;) they bake well:)

back home again, watched ANTM again;/ cycle 15 episode 13! almost to the end! models have a tough life i guess. i mean, how long can you be a model? ( then again, how long can you be a dancer? )

dinner, OYAKO DON. jo played the wii for a while and was shooed to his bed cause he has school.

tmr, I`m going to follow my grandma to her chi kong class:D will take pics for sure this time and you`ll see what I mean.

6 Dec `10

2010-12-07T14:55:00.004+08:00

Jo woke up as late as I did:P say about 9:30. that isn`t too bad right? did the usual routines while jo when to settle some school stuff. he`s going to school tmr! :( I want to go to school!

after he got back, we went shopping:D well, for jo`s clothes. no where other than, UNIQLO:D again. I didn`t really had anything to buy, so was walking around with jo to buy his long Tees, pants, PJs. I`ve got to admit, he`s huge. yet he is a small baby brother to me:) or not. hey, he`S movin from kid`s size 160 to adult size M :O

it was a rather short afternoon. had UDON for lunch. not exactly my favourite. but that isn`t bad:P lazed a while at home, then I decided to jog. 3km only:/ i think I`m getting old. my stamina is terrible.

got back home to find jo setting up his own training ground =.= he made me join him, so I had to do his 10 sets of 8 things. the running stuff back and forth, with the left and right, and suicides @.@ I deff lost wieght. it`s a good thing:) had a HURO, and was ready for dinner:)

dinner, we had MISOzuke-CIKIN. loved it:D played the piano with mimi. those chirstmas duets where the kid plays and you play something lower down there, I need to get back to piano sooon. haven`t been focusing much on it.

and then skyped with mom and dad. sharks. they had to remind me of the 3-hour-on-the-computer-per-week rule. mean whlie, been spending time on the christmas gifts. I`m terrible out of $ ￥　so, I`ll have to be doing lots of hand made letters, and a search for terrible sute stuff that`s worth the yens.

tmr starting part-time;)

2010-12-05T21:44:00.003+08:00

guess what I had to wake up to? non other than talking of my grandpa on the phone with JO. JO arrived in Japan safe and sound:) thank you Jesus:) did i mention he flew alone? bought the tickets for his skyliner alone? took the train from narita to minamiurawa alone? I`m not saying it`s hard or easy to do, but, JO DOING ALONE? he`s all grown up:)

oh yea, my cousins are still around. so 3 of the monsters were there watching some japanes cartoon. very quiet :O after they were done, I took over and watched police academy. yea, the super OLD one. i think 80s? :O there`s like 7 movies of it. well, I`ve never heard of it till I saw it on the rack and michiko obacan said it was funny, so I took a chance on it. it had it funny moments:) teheeee.

mimi had a BBQ party with her friends. strange. BBQ party in the hot early afternoon? hahaha. mimi`s not really the outgoing type, so I hoped she had fun:) and she did:/ well, I`m just jealous cause she ate so much meat! chicken pork beef, japanese and korean style. mimi is a carnivore, but she complaint that there were too much meat!:O think of all the juicy tender meat that melts in your mouth.

well, so we picked up jo, and on the way, I told my coussie that jo became taller! bigger! and lower*in voice! they were SHOCKED. like ` NANDE?!?` meaning, how come?!? :O then grandpa explained that boys in thier teens change! lol. they almost couldn`t believe it! cute innocent faces xD once we got back home, the boys went off to play soccer. adoi, hana wanted to be a part of them. and she`s like 1 and a half? :O she chases after the boy the boys kick around. so I went to play with her:P you know, i think kids are quite cute after all:)

lunch, we had a BIG crowd. 4 cousins, uncle, aunty, grandparents, jo and I. we either had SOBA or RAMEN. then we went out to play again. I mean, really, I think that`s what kids did back in the days when there were no fancy electronic gadgets that connects the world yet never exactly connects the hearts.

grandpa then gave a task, to pick the fruits from the trees, with some super extended plier. so cute to see jo on the ladder chipping off the branches, and taiki hanging like a monkey on some garden decorative bars hanging to pick them up. will post pictures on that :P sry, some ppl just suck at describing. well, we got alot of fruits:D

and then came dinner:D we had take-away sushi:P mostly MAGURO SUSHI cause my coussies love them lots. hana disturbed me eating:/ bwahhh. awww. she still so cute x)

jo feel asleep straight away after dessert:P guess you`ll only see him online tmr!

oh, my face burns. it`s so cold that my skin is getting dry, and every time I apply some moisturizing cream it BURNS. ouch.

I`m up late, and I know it`s not exactly the most healthy idea, so I`m going to sleep with this post left uncoloured and very wordy. sry peeps/ but by the time you guys read this, it should be coloured:)

oh, back to the ANTM thang again..

4 Dec `10

2010-12-05T16:43:00.003+08:00

OHAYO! I was forced to get out of bed:/ it`s a SATURDAY! goodness, I`m a growing child and I need some sleep:S well, it better be a good reason why I had to get up, and LUCKILY, it was because we were going to JUNKUDO:D it`s a 10 storey building filled with books books and lot more BOOKS:D well, only a small section of english books, but they were goopd enough:D obviosuly, they only keep the best selections cause of the limited space, so that`s really really handy while making decisions:D

so, I bought 3 books. nicholas sparks, I`ve decided to give it a try, I`ve watched the last song, and all I heard was that the book was WAY better, and I heard they way he writes is pretty good:) since I`ve got SO MUCH TIME, why not? the other 2, can`t remember the title. I`ll write down again when I remember. I just picked it off the shelve, couldn`t decide:/

had spaghetti for lunch:D it was called, PRONTO. it gave me the starbucks impression. it was a nice place:) will definitely bring you ppl there if you EVER VISIT ME HERE. loved the cocoa. no, i don`t appreciate coffee yet. I`m waiting for that day to come.

so, was a lazy back at home, and then the COUSINS arrived. 5 of us with michiko obacan went to video rental store. I borrowed john meyer`s :D I`m absolutely in love with the song, ` slow dancing in a burning room`. it`s so, dreammyyy. though, the title totally soudns like a suicide self destruct relationship. awwww:( not surprise? true, they happen:/ I hate break ups, ish, then while decide to get into a relationship in the first place?! talk about relationship, I mean those who CLAIM to be bf gf and all those fancy terms ( obviously, I`m talking about KIDS here. nothing against the adult world, I`m yet to say any thing about that) is just, immature? it`s fine to like each other, but, it`s not worth taking it tooo serious, I mean, seriously, are you going to marry that fella? ok, I shan`t elaborate further. I`ll keep it for next time when I have nothing else to blog:P

so, we got some movies, and head back home, had JAPANESE CURRY for dinner, so nice to have everyone around:) jo is missing. almost ALL THE COUSSIES UNITE:D so cute x)

then after cleaning up themselves, all of us sat behind a warm KOTATSU and watched BOLT. the pictures and the animations stuff were good:) yuma slept half way... yeap, and then yea, end of the day i guess? was about 10.

oh, I got up to check on JO, he`s flying soon, in hours. night cabin. yeap, he was using the free wifi service in the airport. will be seeing him soon:) I think, i missed him:) only a little bit.

ps. oh, did I mentioned, I`m missing out a 10k run tmr at singapore? :( dad and mom are running tmr, together:P bwahahah. it`s the standard chatard marathon run thing:)
pictures le? will be uploaded with the next post:)

A. sawing a door to pieces.

B. pasting papers on the doorframe.

C. started the arts of door drawing

D. stapling doors to the wall *WHAT? =.=

well, duh obvious it`s B.

so what to do?

first, have your doorframe placed, and put glue on oneside.

next, place the paper on it, NICELY, and NEATLY.

and chip off the sides.

the blade is really really good,

really reallly good till it can skin a layer of my finger:O

i was ready to faint on the sight of blood,
but, there wasn`t any!
wow, i like this blade:D

they look really pretty up close.

owh.

so got up, and did the usual stuff. laundry, futon, cold breakfast, struggle to get on new COLD clothes.

oh btw, last night, I got this huge paper from my coussie, and was told to hang that up at the door to surprise grandma, we wrote our messages and stuff for her. I drew a maze:) she was uber surprise with the little message and the HUGE paper. teheee:P

well, we went shopping;) first, we got the christmas tree! yes, I got some 120cm tree. my grandparents were ever so shock to see the huge bulky tree packed into some thin light box. haha. their faces:P

we had some spaghetti lunch, with ommelete rice, it looks good:) I was facinated about the lemon sqeezer, never seen it before! :O

then we got krispy kremes! no long queues:) grandpa said the shop had the queue all the way outside the mall! ( that was like 3 , 4 year ago =.=) the christmas theme is cute:) do they have it in mlaysian too? I mean the chirstmas theme thing, well, I know there`s krispy kremes in malaysia, not sure about singapore though.

oh yes, went to one of theユニクロoutlets! this one is in `carat` mall, also called aeon. it has a different feeling to it, i mean, it`s kiｎda cosy. lots of stuff to look at:) grandma bought socks, she said ` now I don`t feel so worry for my toes` uniqlo is for ALL age;D

we got TAKOYAKI, *remember takoyaki from my LAST YEAR`S post? (ish, go look for it yourself, I`m not nice today to dig it out for you.) gosh, I sound so mean... anyway, grandpa bought MORE ICE CREAM. hearts hearts beating hearts.

got back home, and helped out with the sweeping. leaves. pft.

went to jog, while grandpa walked on the same park. I realized, I`m very slow! I mean, i know I am, but, it just hit me, I NEED TO DO SOMETHING:/ i run about 3km in 20 mnts. terrible. any idea how to train to run faster in long distance?

had U NA GI! *reminds me of brianc, say it with me* U NA GIIIII!!!:D oh, have i Mentioned, mimi doesn`t like UNAGI? awww:( she doesn`t like the bony part of it. and so that was dinner, and was on the com. well, i used it a lttle longer than usual. got into trouble. great. well, it`s part of being a teenager, don`t mind getting into the worst scenario right?

OWH, I FELT AN EARTHQUAKE:D the main part that had the earthquak was 500km south of tokyo under sea about 480m/km * can`t remember.* i thnk it`S 480m. grandpa said the shake felt like a magnitude 2. so, that earthquake under the sea could be like 6, 7? cool. dinner was good. more notes review, did some math. and sharks. here I am again! :P

album: Nov in Japan

2010-11-29T18:45:00.009+08:00

all the pictures I was talking about.
great, that took half an hour of my 3 hour limit.

remember I mentioned, FUTON?
this is a futon!
this is the base layer.
you sleep on this.

and eventually, you`ll be covered by that!

let`s take a close up at the layers.

this is the base.

then you have about 2 light blankets.

and finally some humongous layers burying you under to keep you warm.

owh owh, uniqlo in japan feel... different;)

and then, the other day right,

I helped grandpa withsome snacks making processes.

gin-something. can`t remember the name.

first you open the plier looking thing.

place the nut in the middle.

and crack it open.

peel the shell out.

put it into some clay jar thing to cook for a while.

smells like popcorn.

cool it, then rub the skin off the nut.

the end product!

taste like peanuts.

OWH! I BOUGHT NEWHEADPHONE:)

greeeeen.

should have taken a better picture..

one of the dinners.

gyudonn! :)

beef bowl.

this is the sweeping that I`m talking about.

yuma: he learns fast. no, he isn`t reading, he`s just flipping the pages and claims to have read it. tehee. he learnt that.

hana: the princess among the monsters. she`s quite rough. while the 3 boys are fighting among another, she gets herself involved by lying down in the middle and hoping someone will poke her. hahaha. she`s 1:) so chubbbby! owh, she likes the camera too:P

29 Nov `10

2010-11-29T18:18:00.002+08:00

sharks. my 3 hours rule still applies when I`m in japan. just great.

got up about 9, improving:P the normal routines, laundry. and then I watched a MOVIE:D yes yes, the sandra bullock movie:) it was good:) i think sandra is really pretty. well, the oldies will remember her from `speed`, and ppl who are not as old as the oldies may know her from ` the proposal`. yeap, that`a her:)

grandpa ~~dragged~~ got me out of the house cause he think I should at least step out of the house once. so I followed him to the bank, the grocery store and stuff. owh, I had a funny convo with grandpa in the car...

jas: ojiichan, don`t you need a sticker for this car cause you`re 75
ojiichan: excuse me, I`m still 73 * btw, he`s bday is on the 16th of dec:P *
jas: owh, ok... but you`re getting the sticker right?
ojiichan: hmmm. i don`t think so
jas: why not?
ojiichama: because it`s so UNCOOL.
jas: HAHAHAHA * i didn`t know grandpas cared whether they look cool or not xD*

not funny? fine. ANYWAY, did some notes review on history and social studies, oh, did i mention I was only reading the cover pages? that`s how excited I am to start memorizing them. just can`t wait:/

went to JOG:D yes! again! wohooo! jia you jasmine! this isn`t really me who consistently jogs. I deserve some ice cream.. *what`s the point jogging then =.= * I jogged slightly earlier than usual, so there were more kids, and less teens and the field. the oldies were still thre. some walking, some running. I say, they are very FIT. yes. I bet fitter than me :S

got back home and did some stretching, i don`t want to get back to class next year all sniff. i need some progress. like seriously, and I`m serious this time. really really serious. I`m motivated:)

oh oh, I found pics and vids from last year`s japan trip. days stuck with surei and sarah :) oh oh, surei, remember the `arts of agony`? and the `4 pillows introduction`? hahahaa. pics from grandma`s bday, disney land:) we should have taken more pictures!!

I had a very good huro:)

28 Nov `10

2010-11-28T18:44:00.002+08:00

goodness. ASKNLEARN.COM homework dues today ppl!!! thanks for the reminder PEINI:)

got up early:) 930! wohoo! I devoted myself into the morning routines. the futon! I`ll take a picture of that tmr morning so you`ll see why is it troublesonme;) and then the bringing the laundry out in the cold chilly *hot* (ok, hot wasn`t neccersary, but, hot had to go with chili even it didn`t make sense.) morning. breakfast as usual.

it was movie marathon time! watched 2 movies I got yesterday. the LL movie, and A&C2. it was, ok:) linsday can act gua. chipmunks are still very squeeky. i mean when they do dialogs, but the singing bit is better when they do harmony voices and stuff. it`s ok guaa.

lunch, had RAMEN:D love it love it love it. noodle taste different, hard to explain, sry I`m not born vvery descriptive, bottom line, jasmine likes it:)

spend sometime cleaning up my room, btw, i share room with my sis and grandma, so our things are everwhere. or atleast, MIMI`s things are. terrible. mimi went out to see her friend. aww.mimi`s growing up, she knws how to meet up with friends, ride a bike, maybe not yet to operate the dvd player, but she knows how to TALK BACK. maybe you`re saying, so? my 2 year coussin knows how to make an annoying comment. but that`s not the thing, I`m truly dissappointed that she has no respect for me:S irritating. anyone has a solution for a rebelious 10 year old? or maybe I`ll be a weee bit nicer to her by showing how to work the dvd player. gosh. sickening, at least she could have said PLEASE?

went out to return some dvds. got back home and fell in love. again? yes:) :) :) guess with who?! teheee. *giggles* will let you know tmr.... ;)

27 NOV `10

2010-11-27T15:46:00.003+08:00

it`s called chiropractic. some practise founded around 1890 ish in america. they think it`s involving the spine and nerves and stuff. that totally explains the cracking of the neck...

woke up 10, which is 9 singapore time. still very early, i think. well, i skipped breakfast and left to SHIMOJIMA for shopping * I hear brainc saying: Seeee! again shopping!* this round was on stationery. bought stuff. duh. was STARVING.

after that we had kokoichiban kare hausu! that`s the name of the shop. the japenese curry was good, except, I should have ordered for NON SPICY :S wasted 50g of rice? good stuff. in fact anything tastes good when you`re hungry. from there, we got back home, oh btw, we used the train. it`s way way way way more complex than s`pore`s! there`s the train line, and there`s the subway line! totoally different. pretty amazing. I think I`ll learn that up. the marvelous world of trains and connections :D

after that, got home and swept the floor. lots of leaves! the fall season is just about to be over and the winter kicking in. but it`s a good exercise to move around sweeping. rather fun making patternds and feeling satisfied to myself:P oh, this is part of daily chore..

and then left for the video shop. rent TOY STORY 3!! like finally! I`ve been wanting to watch this since the trailer was out, which was like last year? found a new lindsay lohan movie, labour pain? well, she can act, that`s why I rent that. and a sandra bullock movie. mimi got alvin and the chipmunks 2. I`m not reallya big fan of the squeeky voices but that`s keep me busy this week:P

where`s the pictures? oops. I can`t reach my phone from here.... to be uploaded, soon?

ohmigoodness. its a friday already! i can`t remember the date and day either. oh dear.

goodmorning. woke up really early, say about 7? that`s 6am Singapore time. i took 20mnts to get out of bed cause it was SO COLD! took me forever to motivate myself to change. PJ were warm and comfy and I wish i could spend the whole day in them. new clothes were stiff and cold.

anyway. went to this bone doctor. kimmie says it`s called orthopedic. i mean, he is specialist, that deals will bones and the body. so running nose and be clear with the crack of the nexk depending on the side that`s stuck. hahahah. it was so ticklish cause he was sort of pressing stuff on the neck. tehee. anyway.

after that. the computer for not so long. only an hour? that`s not very long right? :/ I`m stil working on controlling myself...

then grandma called me to do the cold wet laundry oh sharks. it`s worse than hone`s cause it`s WET COLD LAUNDRY you`re dealing with. my fingers feel frozen upon the touch of NORMAL RUNNING TAP WATER. and then I have to go OUTSIDE which is about less than 10 degree. goodness. nightmare.

decided to gojogging. saw people. well, duh. I mean, I think they were ex class mates. except, I can`t recognize them. oh wait. I mentioned this yesterday. yea. the same faces. oh, guys play soccer at the field! lots of oldies walking around the park. i think one day, I`ll take picture of the place so you can imagine better:)

dinner with the 3 monsters and hana. sushi. they are very hyper. and adorable! I had some bonding time with my non-english-speaking coussies! hana is so cuteeee! yuma is grown up. take is the same o skinnny bone. taiki`s a decent boy now :) he does a lot of thinking, saw that from the way he made his TEMAKIZUSHI :P

suppose to study. end up on the computer. whoops. till like 12midnight? sharks. totally no progressive. help.

this is for yesterday,

just before the flight.

note: main points are in red.

good morning ppl! woke up at 9, which is 8 singapore time. thats very early, but it was very bright outside. oh well. scramble eggs and thick sliced bread with freezing cold milk *not that i like i frozen, weather cant help it.* for breakfast :D

we went to the ministry of education to sign mimi up for schoool. talk about school, I can no longer participate cause im too old :( yes, too old i say. goodness I`m 16 turnin 17 in months. wait, that means i can drive soooon :D anyway, why can`t go to school anymore is because high school cant accept temporary foriegn students unlike junior school.

after that came for lunch. had YAKITORI-DON with soup. feel in love with rice. oh so glorious food! lazed a bit, and visit my old junior high school with grandpa just to say hello and to ask stuff for jo, cause jo is going to junior high school :( how nice. i wish. I was still 13 or something. just started my teens. feeling tiny. look up to the seniors, following instructions blindlessly, boys weren`t that tall so i wont feel short, always excited about everyday to learn somethin new. those days.. :`)

got back home and helped grandpa with the KAKIs.

the KAKI grown were picked,

and skinned

and tied up

and hung.

its suppose to be dried fruit. some thing I cant appreciate.

OH OH. I did what I wanted to :D I JOGGED! 3km. good enough for a start. I think I saw some old classmates. maybe maybe not. they are all grown up. not to mention, guys :S i dont remember how they look like. they were playing in the middle of the field. quite a few of them. i guess they are all in different school with the different bags and uniform. cool:) yuma , mimi and grandma followed, they had a walk. yuma oh yuma x)

got back home and met hana and michiko-obachama. hana is adorably chubby. shes my cousin, that`s my aunt. dinner was great! as usual, grandpa made dinner. we had GYUOZA, TOUFU SALADA, and other japanese sides.

and here I am on the computer. I`m ~~trying~~ to limit myself. I have no specifically set a time, but, I`m sure I`m cutting back :S

off to study. yes, that`s part of my todo list today :P

aftershower: cold wet hair.

for convenience, I coloured the important and the not so important. so that, by just reading the red words, you`ll still get the whole picture:P I`m a genius :D you`re welcome:)

at last Im done with the normal routines:) spending the rest of the year in japan till just before school starts next year.

so the flight was on the 24th, 1am. we got on the plane, and I decided to watch movies cause, how often can I watch movies for freee?! talk about free, I watched megamind the other day. to be posted. But you know, the sad part was that, there were no good movies to watch! so I tried killers. the main guy is cute. hot. *melts* bwahhh. I want a ang moh hubbbbyy. whoops. well, now you know :D but, I gave up on the movie no matter how cool he was, cause.. too many ppl were dying in the movie :( brutally, i might add. couldn`t stand it.

well, after I gave up on the movie, mimi was feeling sick. she did some weird face, and she said she feels like she`s going to PUKE. oh goodness. no, please no. so I found a plastic bag, placed it by her so i can position the bag right under her mouth ( or more like to protect myself from her vomit ), I wanted to sleep, but she kept jerking weird facial expression that she was sick. so I had to constantly watch her in case she strikes. I stayed up an hour or so watching her painful look. no sleep at all :( after that, I decided, if she pukes, let her puke, its worth all the sleep on the plane. so I slept for an hour or so. and well, we reached japan.

I cant believe I actually flew. I mean, not like im totally hyped, its just that, Im not really to be on a holiday. weird as it sounds, Im a little stuck in my own time doing nothing, and im kinda fine with it. it other words. I feel lazy to move. anther reason is because, time`s too fast. by the time i realize Im flying, it was a day before or so. scary. anyway, met my grandparents, and felt the cold air at the train station. ah, now it feels like im in japan :D

time to be japanese, so I helped sweeping the autum leaves. ate lunch :D chijimi! oh so fattening. im going to do somethin about that.

oh, i napped. for 3 hours. feeling better :P

got ready for dinner, went to my uncle`s place, dinner with grandpa`s friends. they have a friendship of half a century! all of them are in their 70s. and its quite interesting how all of them are friends. they talked about the past, rather amusing:P very cute. dinner was superb:)got back home and had a good `huro`, that felt good:)

plans for tmr: jog to get rid of heavy dinner effects. study cause it`s about I do so since november started :S

the rant begins.

I might have to warn you in advance.
I`m going to blah blahblahbalabalahbalahbalaha all i want cause I want and that`s what I want.
sounds pretty selfish..

anyway.
following traditions,
japan trips are written in journals unless there`s an exception thought that comes to mind.
so stay tuned for long draggy post :)
I know you have nothing else better to do this holiday :P

maybe it`s about time to recognize my fellow frequent loyal readers.
thank you for you ever support.
from commenting,
to saying nothing,
and reading,
to understanding wihtout a glance at the post.
its all from the heart isn`t it?

I just wanted to feel some warmth in this cold winter.
just heated my hands in hot water,
feels oh-so-better :)

and my first visit back to kl :D

wonder seafood.

I miss them.

the shrimp was hypnotizing.

* blah, lousy photographer. *

and then my 2nd trip back was progressive on house cleaning ( which took us a whole entire year =.=)

but now, it looks so empty.

for those who came over once,

you'll notice the furniture, table, rubbish, pictures are all gone ! :(

oh, and went to empire and spotted this ' world's longest? ' indoor slide!

might try it out on my 1st pay of salary.

and guess what I found?

remember my '30 sen a day credit? '

yeap, I actually wrote it on a book to keep record :P

how pathetic:/

long live post paid :D

oh, while in s'pore

I saw this new wonderland something ice cream sundae.

henny and I did lots of studying.

we killed 3 hours and only solved 2 +math questions at burger king.=.=

mom came back from japan and brought back 7eleven prepack onigiri.
