馬鹿兄貴の到来

うちの馬鹿兄貴ね、計画なしで日本に殺到した。
ホテルすら予約しなかった。
月曜日の夜、たまたまmsnで会って、
【木曜日日本行くから、ホテルの予約取ってくれない】っていきなり言われた。

ええええ!!!
なにそれ。。
私にまるなげのやめてよ!!

でも、何といっても、お兄ちゃんから、
しかたないな。

よしゃ!今日の晩御飯ひつまぶししよう!
彼のおごり。

tagged by Yilin!

Sorry Yilin... this is so late because I only realised it last week when I read your blog.. but hee sounds fun so I will go along with it.

Rules of the game: Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.

~~☆☆~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~☆☆~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. I used to be so fascinated by the Chinese Kung-fu shows that I will bug my father all day asking him questions like if Yang Guo (from Legend of the Condor Hero) fights Zhang Wuji (from Heaven Sword Dragon Saber) who will win. My father, who ever “patronizes” me so patiently, will give me an answer which always leads to never ending questions.

2. I don’t really like to wake up early in the morning though I technically have not much problems with it. Luxury to me is to be able to sleep and wake up at whatever time I like. So on some weekends, I will deliberately set my alarm clock early to wake up to it and then feel so good about the fact I can off the alarm clock and go back to sleep.

3. My father used to bring me to the toilet every night when I was young. I will go to his room in the dark and wake up him. There was once my parents’ room door was locked and no matter how hard I knocked they didn’t wake up. I cried and probably peed outside the room.

4. I am a big fan of animals and I can touch almost every animal I see as long they are not slimy and scary looking. My perfect vacation by the way is to go to safaris to look at animals (I must be able to touch them too) But I hate standing out in the sun…

5. I think pregnant ladies are one of the most beautiful people around.

6. I have an unexplainable fascination with boxes and paper bags. This fascination developed with the 2 experiences of moving from Japan back to Singapore and then from Aichi ken to Tokyo. Every time I see a big box now, I have the urge to bring it home as I think I will need to use it one day. Actually, it applies to boxes of all sizes!

7. The things that irritated me big time: People who don’t give up their seats to the needy on public transport. People who bullies the weaker like children or animals. Lack of sleep…

8. I am a Jack of all trades! (Make it some), but master of none. The classes I attended before in my entire life. Computer, swimming, tambourine dance, Chinese dance (I used to be able to do splits), piano, sang in church choir…

9. All the precious moments’ items I own are from my friends and family. I have never ever bought a single one for myself. My collection ranges from figurines, to notepads, apron, towels, calendars, photo frames, cards… you name it I have it. I have a shelf at home specially to shelf my collection.

10. I hate to be in the limelight… So I hate to be in organizing committees, sabo to be MC, game master etc… essentially I am a sit back and relax kind of person, so I hate to be in foreground talking to people.

This I think everyone knows it but I want to say it! My favourite group in Japan is Arashi (嵐)。Ohno Satoshi(大野智)is my favourite member in the group and he will always remain No.1. Why do I like him so much? Because he is so artistically inclined (songs, dance, art) and he has the most endearing smile I have ever seen. I always have a lot of fun going to concerts and watching their TV shows. If I ever meet him in person ( outside of concerts), I might propose to him! I constantly entertain the thought of being Ohno Karen.... which everyone tells me joking, it sounds like Oh no! Karen... duh....

I tag:

1. Carol!!( I am sure you got plenty to write)
2. Serene ( You also wun lose out to Carol)
3. Meiling
4. Jiali
5. Tze Min
6. Chunyan (Will this make you update your blog??)

Don’t keep me waiting!

頑張らなくちゃ!!

特別の友達のために、もっと日本語でニッキを付けなくちゃ♪♪

昨日から、妙に足が痛くなった。
左側だけ。
怪我でもしてないのに、何で痛くなるの・・
考えても考えても、答えが出て来ない・・・
寒いから?
正直に、今ちょどう私にとって一番辛いの季節だ。
寒いから、朝も辛くなって、手と足はずっと冷の状態。
何にもしたくない。まあ、食べると寝る以外。
暖めてくれる人はどこ???

ちなみに、今日、急に兄貴から連絡がって、
木曜日日本にくるだって・
冗談じゃねよって思っちゃった。。。
バカじゃないの、いきなり言われても・・・
ホテルも予約取ってないし。。
でも、まま、もう1年近く会ってないから
いいや、会ってやろうか。。。へへへ

やべい、もう眠い。。。
けどまだ10時だよ!!
私赤ちゃんの時代に戻ったかな。。。

大ちゃんお誕生日おめでとう

これから何があってもずっとずっとダイスキね♪♪

Happy 27th Birthday to O-Chan!

恋空~koizora


It has been a long time since I went for movies...

In fact my 3rd in Japan.
I don't usually go for movies because it is expensive and I find a challenge to sit through a 2hr thing without moving about.. haa
but I just wanted to watch it. I didn't want to wait till it is out for rental.

I just felt I will like it.
Not that I love all romantic movies.
But this, I came out of the theatre feeling it was not a waste.
I came out with many thoughts flooding my head.

I came out feeling old.... ahhhhhh
(Btw, the lead is only 17! His name is Miura Haruma, born in 1990... so much for drooling. Quotes Carol: She says she cannot drive up the appetite to eat such a young guy.
She sounds like Zhi Zhu Jing ( spider demoness) in Journey to the West...

Singaporeans Dinner Marathon

I guessed I have said this a thousand and one times... but still God keeps me amazed!! Just as I feel like I am the only Singapore here in Tokyo, my quest ( His quest) to discover the existence of more Singaporeans here in Tokyo! Of course, I must include other Japanese too who somehow is linked to Singapore in a way or another.


All started with Yilin(my NUS chum) who is here for Tokyo...not just on a shopping trip as always but to be MARRIED to her better half Da-ni san! Congrats!!! I am really very very very happy for the girl. She has always been a very enjoyable company and pal since NUS days. We were still reminiscing last night at her apartment how we have "sold" our youth to Japan. ( She flew with JAL for 2.5 years since graduation) How were were full of expectations yet anxiety about life in Japan...I still remember how I stood at the telephone booth shrieking into the phone when I heard her voice...


But Thank God for Dani-san who has accepted Christ recently too! He is a really very warm guy and somemore who according to Yilin accepts her fully including her unreasonable ways. hee, Congrats again to the newly wed!

Then got to meet Cuixian also! Another Singaporean- NUS chum. I don't remember being extremely close to her when we were in NUS. But I guess the similar journey we chose to take, the unknown path to study in Japan kinda bonded us together. It is always fun to have her around as we can talk about anything under the sun.
And then the rest includes Yilin's ex-colleagues from JAL, Sho and Hideo, exchange students in NUS and Dani-Japanese friends

The NUS group: Me and Yilin at the back. Hideo, Cuixian, Sho and Carol
And the next day we had dinner with Cuixian's cousin and gf. Plain fun and binge!

Post Birthday post

This is abosolutely, outrageously late... but thanks to everyone who has been part of my life this past quarter of the century! Sounds like some award ceremony but I really thank God for His each and indivudual plan, each person He has brought to me on this journey.

Birthdays to me are no longer just about parties and presents. In fact, I didn't even think I will want to do anything special on that day by taking leave or what. Which probably explains my colleague's stunned faces when they discovered it was my birthday. ( my mgr gave me a bouquet of flowers)

But it just reminds me again how I have been so blessed by God every day of my life. How He, the generous Heavenly Father accedes to my never-ending requests(my earthly father too.. hee), bringing me back to the path everytime I detrack and most importanly, the One who gives me the Purpose of Life. Birthdays should be a day of giving back actually, to those who played a part to shape you into who you are today.

Nevertheless, I am still on the receving side! Thanks to the gals here who bought a nice cake and whipped up a sumptous dinner! To Biyin, who never fails to send me a big box of surprises! She even took the effort to wrap up every single thing she sent to me. To Meiling and Peiling too who sent me gifts. Of course the various ones of you who sent their wishes through other means.

Arigatou!
