End Of March

It is finally the end of March... Yeah! Next Month, a new beginning? I certainly hope that all things will become better.

Have a new machine in the office... Got training on how to use it this morning. Kind of fun but dont think I would be using it often though. It can scan, print and copy at the same time. Moreover, can do colour printing. Nice, isnt it?

Watching anime is getting to be one great enjoyment in my life right now. Too bad that I dont have any more new animes to watch at the moment. It is difficult to rent animes as well. The place where I used to rent them no longer did so. Tough luck!

Sumatra Earthquake

Everybody was talking about the 8.7 Sumatra earthquake last night... Most of the people felt the shaking but I think I didnt. Our flat is only on the 2nd storey. Maybe, it was too low to feel anything. On the other hand, I could be too tired, sleeping away like a log, to really feel it.

It is scary... Like natural disasters are coming to our doorsteps... We used to have strong earthquakes around us without feeling the traumas? Then, the east areas can feel? And now, all of Singapore can feel?

This year does not feel like a good year... Or maybe, it did not have a good start? Tsunami aftermath, Birdflu, Earthquake...

Prince Of Tennis

I am having panda eyes right now. Hehehe... Met Serene last Friday and she passed me the anime 'Prince of Tennis' vcds... Once I started watching, I got so hooked on it. Hence, I finished all the 30 pcs of vcds that she passed me over the weekends. Hahaha... Oh boy...

I really like that anime. 30 pcs of vcds are not the complete set. Oh... Hope that I can get to see the rest soon. ^-^ Hmm... I dont really have a favourite character inside but I think Sara likes Inui best. Hahaha... Because he always makes Inui Special Juice for his team-mates which tastes really horrible.

Good Friday

Haiz... Woke up with a major headache... Glad that it subsided as the day passed.

I went to the hair salon with Serene. She got a haircut. Hehehe... Oh yes, she passed me the anime 'Prince of Tennis'. Yeah! Got new vcds to watch... ^-^ I supposed I will be spending my time watching them over the weekends.

Hahaha... Serene is so very busy again. She has gotten her dissertation first draft back. Got lots of amendments to correct... Jia you x3, Erjie!

Hope all of you have a good friday. God bless all of you...

Sara's Sport Meet

Hahaha... I have been eating out so often lately, Monday, Tuesday and yesterday... But I am definitely going home for dinner tonight because my mum is going to make pork chops. Hehehe... Her pork chops are nice. =p

Wondered if Little Sara is home yet... She is having her school's sport meet today. It seems that this event was organised jointly by three other school. Hmm... Dunman High is one of them. I think it would be pretty exciting. But it is rather troublesome leh... It is held in the National Stadium.

Yeah!!! Tomorrow's holiday - Good Friday. Have a good holiday cum weekends, everyone! Haiz... Serene asked me to accompany her to the hair salon where I usually do my hair. Hmm... Mum was asking about her just early this morning.

The Amazing

I had a great day yesterday. Hk boss was here and I was invited to join them for lunch and dinner.

For lunch, we went to Sudanese Restaurant. It was Hk boss's favourite restaurant. Hehehe... We had fun... Plenty of jokes and laughters. And the food was great. Then we went to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant for dinner, where we had lots of seafood - chili crabs, peppered crabs, clams, fish, drunken prawns, lobster salad and others...

During dinner, Hk boss mentioned about having quotas for UCAs... He suggested that if we would be able to reach our quotas, we would be given bonus. Hmm... Actually, I hope that perhaps I could be made a permanent staff instead/as well?

Then I had an amazing dream last night... ^-^ A song was ringing in my ears when I woke up, especially the chorus part. I am going to delicate this song to myself...

听你听我 (张惠妹)

你沈沈地睡着, 我静静看着你的容貌
听你的呼吸, 听你的心跳
忽然很想告诉你, 谢谢你过去带给我的美好
人生挫折不少, 你的声音给我很多依靠
听你谈未来, 听你大声笑
忽然很想唤醒你, 现在就陪我去山上绕绕

*你是我的宝, 我一直为你感动骄傲
即使梦想再累再煎熬, 你仍然紧紧抓牢
真心的执着, 决不放掉
你是我的宝, 我一直为你感动骄傲
外面的世界再多纷扰, 你依旧把单纯拥抱
生命的旋律越飞越高

今晚听我轻轻唱, 我想给你一份爱的力量
听我为你祈祷, 听我说说话
我已经打开窗, 准备和你迎接每天的太阳*

*重复*

Howl's Moving Castle

Hiong, Pk and I had a great time. At that Piazza restaurant, all of us ordered set meals - soup, main course and a drink. Hiong and Pk had Teriyaki chicken while I had Fish & chips. We talked, joked and laughed as we ate. Hahaha... See I am correct... The chili sauce would not be enough for all three of us. =p

Hiong and I had some ice-cream before we went into the cinema for the show. Haiz... Really wish that Hiong had bought a pint of ice-cream in... I think that would be very interesting indeed. =p

The show was enjoyable, though I did not really understand what the storyline is all about. Hehehe... Maybe, my brain is too slow.

I took a cab home. And the taxi driver was really friendly. Hmm... We chatted a little through the journey. It turned out that he lives in the opposite block of mine. Hahaha... What a coincidence... He told me about his youngest daughter and asked me whether I teach tuition. Hehehe... No thanks, my youngest sister is headache enough.

Thanks Guys for the great time yesterday night. Hope that all of you enjoyed yourself just as much as I did.

Chobits (3)

Hahaha... Minghui came late in the afternoon to finish up the Chobits. She came at abt 3pm... I almost thought that she was not coming anymore. Well... It was fun. We kept laughing at Sumomo's antics. Sumomo is so cute! Hehehe...

I received Mabel's sms this morning... Thanks Gal, dont worry too much about me, I will be fine. Time will heal all wounds. Just remember to take good care of yourself... Hardly contact you nowsadays because I know that you are very busy.

And Winnie added me into msn today as well... Hahaha... Hope she was having fun customising it... Oh wells... Hehehe... Next time, let's find a time to chat online together, Xiumei, you and me!

I wont be going home for dinner tonight... Have arranged to meet Hiong and Pk at Plaza Singapura for dinner and a movie. We are going to watch 'Howl's Moving Castle'. Yeah!!!

Chobits (2)

Hahaha... In the end, I did not go out with Minghui. She came over my house to return me my comic books and cds instead... Nevertheless, I had a great time watching the chobits anime with her. We did not manage to finish watching it yesterday. Hence, I wondered if she would be coming over later today...

Chobits (1)

Yesterday evening, I went home and saw my sisters watching the chobits anime. Yeah... It is finally here. They were borrowed from a friend. Hehehe... Erjie, you want to watch? Hope they are not to be returned till next week... Hahaha... Unless I finished the whole anime tonight!

I am going out with Minghui tomorrow. She finally sms me back. I wish to go to the temple to give thanks for the blessings, as well as to seek the continuing blessings for my loved ones... Then maybe after that, we would drop by Orchard...? Well... It all depends actually... =p

固然回首，我依然是我 ...

Being Understood

Hahaha... Had a long chat with Sara today. Then took a long distance bus back to digest all the stuffs and think things through. I was nearly dying from hunger by the time I reached home. Hahaha... Serves me right.

Anyway, this chat had been meaningful to me. Had some amount of insights... Hahaha... Like I told Mabel, letting nature runs its own course is still the best thing to do. I am not being passive. Just that, things are more/only useful/meaningful when they are revealed at the ripe time... Otherwise, you might make matter worse...

I guess I still needs lots of polishing in this area.

To Be Even Better And Stronger

I want to be even better and stronger....

At times, it is still very hard... Anger... Hatred... And many others are all poisonous to the mind... I have witnessed what horrible things some people have done due to these poisons. I hope that I wont make the same mistakes.

I want to be even better. I wish to be even stronger. I have been through so much and have come so far... I must not give up!

Love

Mum called me when I was about to be on my way home. "Eat outside, please... I will be home late. Hence, I am not cooking." Therefore, I went to have my dinner first before heading home. However, I took quite some time to get home. Not only took a long distance bus home, but I also went to some places and did some shopping.

Along the way, I did some amount of thinking. Hahaha... Saw this desciption of love somewhere... 'Love is a willingness to be vulnerable... to care so much about another that you are willing to risk, willing to be hurt, willing to give without reservation.' This reminded me that someone once commented long time ago, "Why did you still want to do such thing, take such risk when you know that there is nothing good out of it. 明知山有虎，偏向虎山行..." I guess maybe this is the answer to that question? Is this pure foolishness or what? I guess I ought to leave that to you, shouldnt I?

Birthday

I had a great Birthday yesterday! I had an enjoyable day!

Firstly, I took the day off. Hmm... I had been thinking about going to the library to borrow some books on sketching. It has been a long long time since I last draw. Hehehe... I used to take art lessons in the past. =p Then I was also longing to go karaoke again. When I found out that Winnie was not working and would be free, I asked her to go along with me. Yeah... And she did!

Despite the poor service at Suntec City Kbox, we had a great time in each other's company. We sang, listened to mtv and talked. Then we walked over to Bugis where we did some shopping. =) Thank you, Winnie, for buying me that bracelet! It is really very pretty.

Then we met the rest of the girls for dinner at Jack's Place. Hehehe... We were very full from the meal but the girls still want to go Baker's Inn to try out their desserts. We talked, joked, laughed all the way. Hehehe... Thanks Girls for all the birthday presents!

At the end of the day, Winnie, Minghui and me shared a cab home. We were worried that there would be no cabs. Xiumei went to another place to wait for her cab. But eventually, she gave up waiting and took a bus home instead. However, I was simply too tired to take public transport back. Luckily, we had better luck than Xiumei.

Thanks Grandaunt, Dad, Mum, Hiong, Pk, Mabel, Xiumei, Minghui, Winnie, Serene, Big Brother Brian, Geraldine, Jenny and Willem for everything! Be it birthday wishes, presents or celebration!

Fruits Basket

I have started re-watching my favourite anime 'Fruits Basket' again. Sara said that she cried as she watched... I did as well. The story is so sweet and touching... It also has an amount of food for thoughts, which I will share with all of you by and by.

Here is the link to one of the best Fruits basket Winamp skins download site I have found: Fruits Basket Winamp Skins

As I also love the Fruits Basket theme song, I want to share it with everybody as well. Hence, here is another link: Fruits Basket Theme Song

"Fruits Basket" (theme song) - english version sung by Meredith McCoy --------------- I was so happy when you smiled, Your smile breaks through the clouds of grey, Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep. Waiting with patience for the Spring, when the flowers will bloom renewed again, knowing there's more beyond the pain of today. Although the scars of yesterday remain, You can go on living as much as your heart believes. You can't be born again although you can change. Let's stay together always...

[Japanese Version] sung by Ritsuko Okazaki -------------------------
