=3= Alright, so I'm back here after a few days absence. Christmas is gone and we have to welcome the new year. I was shopping with my mother and her sisters and I got lost twice because I couldn't see them (I didn't bring my spectacles) and that my phone was out of battery. Nevertheless, it ended well since I was able to arrive home safely with my mother. Honestly, Marks and Spencer pyjamas are really soft! I swear I could have bought those pyjamas pants if they were not SGD39.00 even on discount (well, the usual price is SGD59.00).

Sherlock Holmes was a good movie - it was full of wit. It is quite similar to Detective Conan because you don't really have that suspense (for example, if you watched Angels and Demons, there is this suspense thing going on) and the audience are not really going "oh no! what happened?! shit, what are they gonna do?!". I must say the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack was acceptable. The acting was good and I really hate the fact that some scenes were cut off, BECAUSE IT WAS EXPECTED TO HAVE SOME SCENES CUT OFF.

Anyway, I'm going for my choir reunion (I'm going to wear my school uniform... URGH) as well as ice-skating with Cheryl! YEY!!! I'll update you later. I'm not finished with what I'm saying.

Mood: Thrilled
Listening to: the soundtrack of GENJI because my sister is playing it on the PS3 since my brother brought it home yesterday. LIKE FINALLY!!!

P.S: I must really say that Yumehito really inspires me. He was the one who influenced me to sign up for ameba years ago and now because of him, I updated my amebaなう just yesterday. (click here to go to my amebaなう) I will update more about this when I come back home.

If you could kiss anyone under the mistletoe, who would it be?

I gave it a thought and I decided I don't want to be under a mistletoe. Truly, I thought about JIRO, or Mao (oh I had a dream about him today and I immediately took down the details on my mobile phone when I woke up. It was strange because I don't remember my dreams but I was mouthing the name"Yuuya" then I recalled), but I cast that thought away. I used to want kiss members of ARASHI, or Kamenashi (my first sister always teases me about going with KAAAAAMMMMEEEEE. NO. I DON'T LIKE HIM ANYMOOOOORE).

I guess people do change after all? Still, I don't believe in mistletoes, as much as I don't believe in Santa Claus. I feel that mistletoes are some sort of curse. Imagine if you're under a mistletoe with a person you don't want to kiss at all, but you're cursed because YOU ARE under the mistletoe with that person. Sadly, you have no choice huh?

I don't want to fall in love with anyone. I am sick about all those ridiculous trash. All those inconsistent acute feelings. All those senseless excitment. Then again, I washed my heart clean without any stain of your violet paint.

Sanadaくん (I shall start addressing those male characters 君に届け with "くん" since we are of same age) is hilarious because he looks so funny when he is in the funny mode. Then again, I can't wait for the next episode because Kazehayaくん seem so determined to call Kuronama by her name because if Sanada can do it, SO CAN YOU YOU STUPID KAZEHAYAAAAA!!!

(my neighbour from upstairs, please stop shouting the vulgar word. It's very disturbing) I am trying my best to like Kurumiちゃん even though she's a little evil but I guess she has her reasons for being so. After all, she liked Kazehaya first. Sawakoちゃん is as stupid as ever.

Cheryl, I have choir reunion or some sort on the day we are supposed to go for ice-skating. OH NOOO!!!

Mood: Little Cold (WHAT IS WITH THE WEATHER??!!)
Listening to: Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

P.S: I don't feel like finishing the next 30 Bakuman chapters:

P.S.2: Chapter 40 of Kuroshitsuji is really making scared. I can't wait for the next chapter!

Remember the award-winning animation movie 「時をかける少女」 or some sort? Well, they are having a live-action now, with the same seiyuu (Makoto, that is, you remember her or do you even know her?) as the main actress, but a slightly different story. It looks good, but I'm looking forward to The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (and Yi Chian knows that my eyes are itching to watch it since O Levels or before the hell examinations?).

Well, I have my own anticipations. Like, いきものがかり is coming out with a new album (that's how I knew about the movie HAHAHA) and this makes me a little frustrated with aiko because she only released one single THIS YEAR. Whatever it is, I'm happy enough since she updates her blog from time to time.

 

Not to forget about the Nodame Cantabile movie that is stated to be released in 14th April 2010 - YEY! I just wonder what the GLAY's 15th Anniversary Special Day is all about. There's a countdown on the official site as well. Mmm? Apparently, シド is working really hard since they are releasing another single named 「sleep」 on 2010.03.03. aikoさん！どこいるの？！

 

This is the real Hasegawa. He sits on the bench and drinks sake. Well, he did promise he won't drink sake anymore. No wonder he disappeared when I offered him sake. =3= Or did he find me annoying? NOOOOOOOOOOO

So I was really lonely because the stupid マダオ (madao) ignored me and disappeared, I went to offer sake somewhere else. HAHAHHAHAHAHAH Just kidding. I just found out the location of the coupon in the Xmas scratch card. Now I have two coupons. HAHHAHAHA I am saving them up just in case.

I just recalled that Billie The Vision and The Dancers will be producing another album soon. That makes me really glad, because they were always doing shows that I can't go to, and I really admire Lars's voice and his uniqueness. It is nice to see a man donning a dress.

I am still not finished with my work and it is really creepy - WHAT IF THE LETTER DOES NOT REACH THE HOUSE ON CHRISTMAS DAY?! Thinking about Christmas, Kazuki and I had a conversation just now. It was hilarious. Let me think, because I did not copy it directly. So Kazuki, please correct if I am wrong:

私：Hey, your mum is having an affair. I saw her kissing Santa Claus.
カズキ：hahahaha. your dad is having an affair. He was kissing Rudolph.
私：HAHAHAHAHHAHA. OH MY GOD!!!

Listening to Iljimae's Mae Hwa makes me have a melancholy mood. I guess the effect of music really does something to your heart. Words do too:

I will not accuse forever, nor will I always be angry, for the spirit of man would grow faint before me - the breath of man that I created. I was enraged by his sinful greed; I punished him, and hid my face in anger, yet he kept on in his willful ways. I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him, creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel. - Isaiah 57:16-19

でわ．．．

Mood: Solemn?
Listening to: Masquerade Suite (to brighten up my mood)

P.S: To shower my love for Kazuki, I have prepared a dazzling picture (I am sorry that the picture is badly done because I do not have the magic of Photoshop. Forgive me!)

P.S.2: Pictures from the Japanese Garden.

P.S.3: Apparently when I was desparately searching for Kazuki's pictures, I found this:

Kazuki is a guy right? He is a man right? HE IS A MAN RIGHT?!! WHY IS HE IN A BIKINI PHOTOSHOOT AS IF HE IS A FEMALE?! And he looks like he got breasts. I just hope Gin-chan and Ban-chan are not nose-bleeding because of Kazuki.

Alright guys, there are Gintama english mangas over at the library. They finally decided to put them into the shelves. The only available volumes in our country are 14 volumes (they still have a long way to go...). Nevertheless, grab one today! (they are not selling but those Gintama volumes really "sell" like hot cakes!)

I just felt like I should post this up to serve as evidence. It is not in its good quality because my scanner is not feeling well today. Honestly, I feel like fan-girling right now. I haven't done it for a really long time so I am going to do it now.

But before I start, I was elated to see that the Bakuman manga actually mentioned Gintama! (I don't feel like reading Bakuman anymore because it doesn't really interest me because I don't want to a mangaka and I felt Hikaru no Go was a different level from it. I know I shouldn't compare since it is not the same story writer or something but Yumi Hotta is really good! Those characters in Bakuman should learn from Yumi Hotta!)

By the way, people should not trust the onemanga.com ranks because it is not accurate. You must follow your soul when it comes to reading manga. You can't trust those ranks and say that what manga is not nice to read or something. Apparently, Gintama was ranked 356. =3= Hello? Maybe you should do something and update the chapters because it is really far behind from the latest chapter.

This is the serious sadist. Actually, he is a kind boy - you know what I mean. Sometimes, I just wish he would return back to normal and not be so sadistic. I do like his sadistic side but... OKIIIIITAAAAAAAA~~~~

Here's the sadistic soul, trapped in a cold dark place with a lot of spider webs. HHAHAHAHAH When I saw this, I immediately went to capture the picture to make it into an animated GIF file. Such a beautiful picture - I can't describe my feelings right now. It is so embarrassing. I wonder if he would tie me up or something. HAHAHAHHA I am not a masochist. I will defeat his hell. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. (I made this picture smaller so that it will make your computer lag - it was making mine lag)

 

Alright, this is the last picture of Okita for today. When I saw this, I knew I had to take this. From the video, of course. Somehow, I just feel like he is calling for me. =3= Okay, I was just kidding. JIRO will be really angry if he ever realises that I have more Okita pictures as compared to him. NOOOO!!! JIRO!!! I will love forevermore. Okita Sougo is just the first runner-up while you're at the top of "them" all.

Fine, since it is a little bit too unfair for my husband, I shall post up his picture. Then again, I need to increase the number of GLAY tags because I cannot believe that my GLAY tags are less than Gintama and pigg tags! That's crazy! Anyway, for now, let's put up a solo picture of my husband. HAHAHAHHAHA:

 

 Mmm.. credits to my sister. She bought this magazine after all and she scanned this picture. HAHAHAHAHHA I feel like putting a Mao picture but I rather not. Mao is not at the level to be in this heavenly post now that my husband's here.

Enough of these nonsense. champyさん、お誕生日おめでとう！It's great to know you as a friend! From today onwards, you are 26 years old until the next 23rd of December. HAHAHAHHA I suddenly miss the funny conversations with you and BOSSさん. Sigh.

Anyway, I finally finished my Escape from Monkey Island IV yesterday without any walkthroughs and I guess now it's the time for the Lords of the Rings marathon? I have not watched it yet so I should watch it before the year ends. Oh, and by the way, painting is difficult! My painting was utterly destroyed by the massive amount of yellow and purple. I was just referring to "Art of Miyazaki's Spirited Away" because I love how Miyazakiさん does his art (especially the background). Now my sky is like the afternoon and evening sky. =3=

I shall finish up what I done in the morning and put it in the post box. Mickey, forgive me, your card will not be very nice. T_T

Mood: Flushed
Listening to: nothing

P.S: Can anyone recommend me some contemporary romance novels that take place in Paris? I felt this urge to be in Paris yesterday but I couldn't find any book in the library.

I was watching those comments stuff  シド always does and there's this hilarious one with the Color Cone Man (which is Yuuya) and IT IS SO DAMN HILARIOUS I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING MYSELF TOO! Apparently Mao was also laughing really hard - that makes me happy! HAHAHAHHA (click here for the link since there is this "Embedding disabled by request")

Pardon me but, I was reading Aki's blog, I got very excited when I saw this picture:

From the entry, you can tell that Aki really respects Hisashi! (and he is Aki's favourite member!) He said, "僕の大好きなサーティーンズがHISASHIさんもお気に入りで！！" So amazing! Then I was wondering why my husband is not his favourite even when they are both bassists. Heeeeeeeyyyyy..... BUT ANYWAY THIS IS AWESOME!

Anyway, I have to rush over to Hijikata now and I have not prepared my bazooka yet. =3= The gorilla stalker just found out how creepy the Google Map is. Well, I missed my chance of calling her "ゴリ" because she did not pick up her mobile phone yesterday night.

 

 

死ぬ、土方。（微笑み）　したらな！

-edit

I feel rich now that I have money in my pocket. I had dinner with Hijikata and I am still feeling a bloated despite the fact that I passed motion a hour ago. I kept smiling to myself as well because the thought of going to high school and falling in love with Sougo-kun (a.k.a Okita) who stands under a cherry blossom tree every lunch break, eating his bento IS SPECTACULAR. =3= Typical love story. Why Okita? Why are you not real?! (but then again even when my sister said that Sou can act as Okita if they ever make Gintama a live-action, I kept thinking of my husband in a high school uniform. KYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~)

I so want to meet GLAY. I will cry for hours until it can be a 2 Litres of Tears drama.

Mood: Dreamy
Listening to:

P.S: Apparently I had a fill of Escape from Monkey Island IV today and I finally ended up in Monkey Island already. I hate going to Monkey Island - it is not nice to be stranded there. Anyway, for those Guybrush Threepwood fans, like myself, I recorded two voice clips while I was playing. The quality isn't really good, but it's good enough:

After a long chat with 石田さん and Ayaさん、もう．．．忘れた。Apparently, Ayaさん thought it was stupid for me to take beginner lessons next year because she thought I was Japanese. =3= She got so shocked when I said, "でもね．．．私はシンガポール人です". Then 石田さん and I started laughing.

Thanks to BUBUちゃん, Ayaさん is learning how to speak English. HAHAHAHHAHA. It is so fun talking to them. Oh, now I remembered what I wanted to write about. Today, I dreamt that I was going for my very first lesson and it so happens that I missed it and because the person at the information counter said that there were no more classes going through the same lesson, she told me to go the Year 3 Beatboxing Japanese Class. It must be some sort of mixed up with the beatboxer (the one from Malaysia who was ranked No. 9 Beatboxer in the whole world) and my anticipation to attend the lessons. SO EXCITING!!!

Anyway, I went to my grandmother's house today (I did not meet her since my O Levels started) and I drew Okita there and then. Looks like I must perfect my Okita. He doesn't look like himself and he doesn't look like what I want him to be. Sigh.

The 新撰組 outer coat is strange enough. I shall work on it. (anyway I tried my best to make Okita look good because when I first drew this, his pupils were so huge and he looked like... HE WAS TOO CUTE). And did you know, Okita Sougo is more popular than Okita Souji? I will show it to you one day - there are some temporary inconvenience going on right now.

NOT TO FORGET KAZUKI GAVE ME THE PRESENT!!!!!! And it cut my finger and I bled for quite some time. The blade is so sharp! I was trying to open it and ended up cutting my finger. (T_T) But anyway I really love it because it has "Okita-kun's" imprinted on it. This shall be my mini secret hidden weapon. Perfect for a sadist. Why so serious?

I ate a lot during dinner today because my grandmother's cooking is so DELICIOUS:

 

 

 

I have many other photos but I guess this entry is already too image-heavy. And oh, that's my mother at the extreme right on the photograph. So adorable! My grandfather kept showing me the old photos (he even mistook me to be the baby in another photograph. Hey, that's my second sister. Come to think of it, why do we have the same pacifier?!) Anyway, it was really fun looking at those photos. I love the smell of the house too. I have no idea why.

So I guess I will vox more tomorrow. My second sister just switched off the lights and I'm using my familiarity with the keyboard to type, so it is not bad. But I keep backspacing or else my sentences will be like this: yeah like that. WOW. Amazing. Wait, let's try again. Oh god, eju is thaye mp wrpmg wprds kusy mpw. SO STRANGEEE!! Just look at the letters beside those letters in tje keuboard. You can decode them... JAJAJAJAJJAA. I am too lazy to backspace now.

I will talk more tomorrow.

Mood: Perplexed
Listening to: school food punishment - Light Prayer

James Cameron’s AVATAR is in theaters today. What about this movie interests you the most?
Sponsored by AVATAR. In theaters December 18. Buy tickets now.

青色の宇宙人。

 

嘘だよ、馬鹿！（笑）The fact that it took 12 years or something? That's really long.

Let's keep this entry short because the previous entry was soooo long. About pigg:

 

 

 

美しいでしょう、私のルーム。It's the "wall" from the "new" place. I emptied the room because my furniture is too modern for it. Now it just looks so lonely, like it needs more furniture. MANN!! =3=

Anyway, we are celebrating our grandmother's birthday today. So strange. Time passes by so fast when you do not take much notice of it. But it turns slow when you keep looking at your watch.

The sound of the bell is still ringing in my head. The clanking of plates. People shouting "behind" and "careful" in chinese. When you walked out of the kitchen and into the restaurant itself where the customers are seated at, the noise just disappears without a trace. Most of all the time, I was thinking of Bambino when Ban-chan (played by Matsumoto Jun) kept dropping the plates and everything. It is a little exaggerated. HAHHAHAHA

It makes me a little scared, knowing that the plates, the utensils, etc are not clean properly. When I was wiping the plates clean, I would just flick away those red chilli, or green chilli, or rice grains and just take about three seconds to wipe before taking another plate. Apparently, the other workers (especially those from China) wipe faster than me and I can't help but doubt that the plate is clean.

It wasn't exactly tiring to work, but really fun (I love folding the towels that are used by customers to clean their hands. DO NOT USE IT TO WIPE YOUR MOUTH) and taking the food out to the servers. It is extremely heavy. I hate it when I have to carry numerous bowls of soup (I love to carry the Peking Duck and Suckling Pig, HAHHAHAA - they look so delicious). I felt that the first day was more stressful than the second because the Minister of Defence was there and the food was very special but the second day had more people?

There was only one time I did something bad. I was walking out with the bowl for Table 8 and someone knocked into me and the bowl just toppled and I was like, "SHIT!!!" and went back to the kitchen and ordered another one. Was it just by luck because after that, the bell rang again (the bell is used to call people to take the food out) and it was the bowl for Table 8 again. I am not cursed right?

Sadly, I was told to quit my job by my father because he said the time was not flexible since I was not able to go home (it was a few minutes to midnight, so no bus and no train). I really enjoyed myself, especially when you keep hearing Cantonese everywhere you go in the restaurant and strong Chinese accents (so strong until I have no idea what the heck they're talking about) and Li Fei, Sam, Wai Fan, and the dishwashers in the kitchen (one of them is 83 years old, and the other... 72 or 73?) - those people were really fun to work with. Not to forget Han Bin! It was so wonderful to be able to work with you!

I can't wait to get my pay though. I am more than bankrupt now. I am like... a negative number. I wanted to buy a camera but I guess it is impossible right now. T_T And I have to buy presents and pay for my Kings of Convenience ticket, and The Killers ticket. WWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY...

Anyway, when I was in Forum Shopping Centre, there was this Narnia musical going on and I realised it was KIDS PERFORMING. 懐かしい．．．I used to be part of KIDS PERFORMING in my primary school days (it reminds me of the time my "tube", something like a shirt, dropped while I was dancing onstage and I was half-naked. GODD!!!!) and I saw Julia's CD and well, she looks the same as always. That curly hair and everything. Thank goodness I did not see Auntie KP. URRGHH.

I wish I was there to fold the towels. They smell so nice. (and my hands smell like soy sauce)

Mood: Relieved
Listening to: Prague - Light Infection

-edit

Here is Jessica Lim Pei Xian reporting many days after my last day.

 

Actually, it is supposed to be redder than this. Everyone, the result of carrying things you can't. Han Bin was laughing at it until he had a stomachache or something - I don't remember. Then he was saying, "Hey let's take a picture" and something about him being sadistic or some sort. HAHAHAHAHHA

 

Apparently, you can't use your little finger because it would turn out as bad quality. Too bad Nicholas still has to key in his NRIC before putting his thumb there.

 

Sometimes, I just feel that the chefs are really awesome! Especially Master Chan who taught me how to hold the tray properly. Goodbye to the name Jessica, and goodbye to the name Lim Pei Xian.

最近、寒くなってきましたなぁ・・

でも大丈夫から！思いっきり楽しみたいと思いますー（笑）

I was wondering why Young Master, ahem, Nura Rikuo's grandfather is so much more handsome than Rikuo when Rikuo is the main character and he also has the highest amount of votes. It is not bad, since Nura-san's grandfather is ranked 4th! Apparently, Nura-san's human form is not well-received.

I was supposed to watch a sneak preview of AVATAR today but didn't. Pepper Lunch was good! I got my "Michael Jackson" shoes and they are comfortable to walk/run/stroll/laze with. I got to prepare for my work tomorrow! Nicholas, どぞよろしく！！！！How do you say it in chinese? Qing Duo Duo Jing Zao? Okay, I have no idea.

Good night, I want to be ever ready!

Mood: Nervous and quite irritated because my left ear is a little blocked
