Low immunity

Ah, I'm still coughing now.. Maybe because of the many late nights that causes my body to go haywire? Cough lasts me for weeks, on and off, mild cough, frequent at times.. Now it seemed to be getting worse.

Need to get back on track, sleep early (almost impossible), drink more water, eat more fruits and EXERCISE!!!

Time of the month?

NOT sure whether was it just a passing phase.. when I felt it again. The need to get out and try something new. Everytime when I feel this way, I'll be thinking a lot again. A LOT means I'll be weighing my options, should I do this, or should I do that? Should I try this or shoud I not? Another factor is money. Of course I won't be getting what I'm earning now but still, the experience is going to be different right? Am I brave enough to step out? I'd fallen into the "comfort zone" already. Too lazy to search, too lazy to go for interviews. How am I going to fare in one? Maybe like what Clifton said, going for interviews doesn't necessary means you are going to take up the job but to keep myself in touch and comfortable. To keep improving for every interviews is like gaining experience points to level up. Jobs that required a degree, I should just try out anyway.

Changing to an office job means I have more time to do things I want to. Maybe it's time? Been talking about it too long, the last time I'd made up my mind to change to a job was in September 2010. Yet I'm still here and now with the carrot - promotion dangling in front of me.. Today is a public holiday, how I wish I'm not working and am spending time with my family instead. Especially if my little nephew is going to be born next year, I'd like to spend more time with him. And things I want to do, studies, language classes, etc. Sounds like I'm making up for lost time eh? Things I couldn't do before.. I'm trying to do now. Time to really be firm and make up my mind!

Oh yah, mom, dajie and I were talking about things to buy for baby and mom was talking about our baby stories. Okay, about when I was a baby. That's when I realised that I was really lucky to be born into this family and with a silver spoon! My dad really spare no expenses for us, paying for nanny, fetching and sending the confinement lady, spending money to buy us toys and all. It was really wonderful to know that eventhough things are different now. :) Guess times were good then for business was blooming.

Woman of many faces

I'm on a drama/film marathon.. watching shows starring Fukada Kyoko. She's very cute and she's one actress who can just act on dramas with her heavy weight or with her new look - she'd slim down quite abit.

She had also changed throughout her film - Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake 1998 to her latest drama - Sengyou Shufu Tantei 2011. I was superly amazed with her latest drama for she looked totally different as compared to her early acting years. Maybe because she was just 16 when she acted in Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake and was still raw then.. Moving on was the collaboration with Korean actor - Won Bin. It's pretty obvious that she was heavier in that show but still cute nontheless. :) And now Sengyou Shufu Tantei - OMG! Especially the part where she had the makeover with the short hair, long black dress and running in those crazy 5" heels! My first impression with that makeover was PRETTY!!!! She looked totally stunning and so different from her housewife look. The housewife look was no different from her early years look, perhaps due to the minimal makeup. I wish she'll have more roles that make her stand out and also another Korean/Japanese collaboration. Kyoko + a cute Korean hunk. hehe.

I was looking at some of the images when I did a google search of Fukada Kyoko and she had changed a alot. Her looks, image and all. Happy! Hopefully she'll maintain this way (by sacrificing her food) and act more more more!!

Found this mv with her. Enjoy. Love the short hair look.

Gackt and Hyde

These are the two man whom I respect because of their talent, their unique voice and with their own singing style just made themselves stand out from the rest of the Japanese musicians.

Gackt is a very humorous person - saw some of the variety shows he was in and it was very funny. Having many different reactions to every situations, laughing like a normal person and yet being very serious in his performances.

Some of the songs I like and would like to share with others.







There are more songs which I quite like but you'll just have to find from youtube. How I wish our NHK channel or even Channel U will broadcast episode of domoto kyoudai of course with English/Chinese subbed. Or even some variety shows from Japan, just like how Channel U will bring in Guess x3.


As for Hyde, he's also another with a unique voice and way of singing. In the show, Moon Child, I was telling mei that in some ways he looked like a little kid and some parts of him resemblance manga/anime's characters. Being very tightlipped about his personal life - wife and kid, at times I wonder what do they do everyday? Cropped up in the house? The child will be home schooled?








**************************************************

I'm an excited aunt to be ! haha. Followed dajie for her monthly scan and checkup and we found out the gender of her baby - is a BOY! haha. Everyone thought baby is going to be a girl but I guessed baby is a boy~! He's so going to be overly doted on, which I hope he will not turn into a spoilt brat. Time to buy baby clothes - been wanting to let my future niece/nephew wear baby OshKosh B'gosh clothes. I think it's cute. Time flies and dajie is going to be due in 4 months' time. Busy busy busy. I'll be starting school in late January 2012 and then prepare for dajie's delivery in February. Hope to return to Japanese studies too. Time management, maybe change of work. Have to take one thing at a time, plan!

Visited the Botanic Gardens for a short photography session with JW and Annkia. BG had changed a lot! The last time I'd visited BG was when I was still a kid, so the memories I had was during then. Now, BG just felt so foreign to me, like they'd revamp it as a tourist site. No feel of closeness to mother nature. Maybe it is because I still have the nostalgic feeling in me as I prepare to visit BG. Took some photos of the flowers, bees and dragonfly! From there, I'd decided to try upgrade myself to a semi-pro Canon camera. I was considering Nikon initially but since JW is using Canon, I might as well be a Canon user so that I can borrow some of his expensive lenses. hehe. Not getting one now but later.. Have to prioritise one thing at a time. :)

DIY Boxes, Towels, Meatballs & Chicken Wings!

Went to Ikea @ Tampines with Xiaobai today to do some shopping. Boy I need to spend less and save more! Satisfied my cravings of meatballs and chicken wings! I was so hungry that I grabbed a pie, fish nugget, half portion pasta and fries! YUMS!!!!! Ok.. it's not really that filling but still.. XD

Bought 4 boxes to fill my games and packed them on the ground level of my tv console. Moved wii to the top level instead. Have been thinking of re-arranging my furnitures in my room for some time.. to make it more comfortable. Made up a simple floor plan of how to place the furnitures and realised that my only problem is the tv console. Whether to place it beside my bed or opposite my bed. Another problem is the re-wiring of the multi-plugs because of the tv and game consoles. I'd love to display my Halo and Marcus Fenix figurines on my bookshelf.. but I can't bear to remove them from the box. Damnit! I just love them to be in their original form. No space on my bookshelf to show them off anyway. Should I use my Halo edition controllers? The rubber on my black controller's thumbstick is coming off soon and I don't want the same to happen to my Halo controllers.. but if I don't use them, is almost like.. what's the point of having them right? Okay.. I'm just thinking out loud. The decision is still mine eh? Damn!

Anyway since I'd do up the plan, I'll just post them up here.


First:



Second:



I'll need to repack my room one day and dump stuffs I do not need again. =.="


Will be starting school in Jan 2012! Supposed to study together with a friend.. however he couldn't make it in the end.. Can't really expect much right? I'll still go ahead for I shall not let this set me back. I have my big plans and am doing one at a time! Nothing is too late for me to try! One step towards my goal!
