Does Anybody Go On Here?

I'm listening to The Fray atm, one of my favourite bands :) Today was rather uneventful tbh. Think we'll do something tomorrow though. Went to the mall next door for lunch at the sushi restaurant where I had 5 plates of mostly prawn sushi, went & bought a pillow & a suit from Jusco Department Store. The highlight of my day was trying on the suit, knowing that i can actually fit in a size that's pretty reasonable :) Random, but I really feel like having some champagne with strawberries now. I think the only stuff we got here is gin, port, bacardi, sake... um, what else? I also came across some stuff on the net e.g. A page of Marilyn Monroe's famous quotes. I felt like I could relate to some of them. Most of them however were about being famous & how it's not enough, so I couldnt relate to those ones. Oh well, who knows? Maybe in the future... Haha, when i was little (speaking much nonsense) i used to go on & on about how i'll be the 'next big thing', & constantly reminded him that. *sigh. The Fray, i really would do anything to see them in concert... pretty pissed off about stuff today. No idea why... =S Btw, i've decided to do something different with the color of this font. Every post will be a colour that suits the tone of the day... so i'm thinking, today's post will be.. a light blue :)

Harbourfront

Went to Kobe Harbourfront for brazilian lunch today :) Our usual stuff-your-face rescue. I was wondering when the sun will come out again. Sun, please hurry up. My tan needs to happen! (before Fri :p) Enough of the fake stuff haha. Wore my new dress today & got a few compliments from my parents, which still doesn't make up for yesterday! Food was especially good today. All the meat you can eat for less than a 1000 yen :) Then we went to a deli for some warm tea & coffee. We also took many photos, mostly of dylan & myself haha um.. was fun. Went shopping & bought enough to satisfy =) 2 pairs of school heels, love them! & 3 tops from Uniqlo. Then it got dark so we sat in Starbucks & i had ice tea =) personally the straight tea from the local supermarket is more to my liking. Mom got tummy ache as well :( Then we got home, got showered, & i watched more korean tv, but no crying tonight probably because i was so sleepy... weird. Now i'm gonna upload my new photos on Facebook :) Overall, good day hehe :)

Let There Be Love

Woken up by mom sneak-in to put my washed clothes on my bed, so they are inches from my face. Real smooth, Ma >=( & then the new cleaners arrived. Being lazy & stroppy, I ditched the part of greeting them. I needed a glass of straight tea pretty badly but i couldn't possibly walk across the corridor in just an oversized tee. Anyway, i got up and walked straight to the mirror to see if there's any purple appearing on my head.. thank the lord it's not that obvious. Still looks like a pimple =( . When the cleaners left, we went down to the mall next door for lunch and suit-shopping =) It used to be called Diamond City, but now it's called Aeon Mall =( As soon as we got there, it got pretty intense.. because of me i think :p Kicked up a fuss about not wanting to go to a certain restaurant, as i wasn';t feeling up for a buffet. But anyway, i gave in because daddy was not happy in the slightest with my 'childish 8-yr-old behaviour'. Ok, i have to admit i can be a pain sometimes, but then he had to go on about what i wore today. He even asked if he could take a picture of it so i can reflect back on it & laugh at myself in the future >=( But the worst part of today was when he said that i 'really don't join in with the family'. That part really stung. .. So, we decided never to eat at that restaurant again as the food sucked. Then, we went to Uniqlo where they ditched me whilst i was in the changing room. Bought a pretty dress today, but Mom & Dylan didn't like it. At Jusco department store, I found some pretty heels for school, but as predicted they didn't have my size. Dylan tried on many many suits, and he ended up with 3 of the best. I have to admit my brother is a stunner :) Spent a while watching him try them on... & also looking at myself in the mirror, how plain i looked without any makeup, how miserable i looked. The girl looking back did look a lot like my younger self, strangely. Mom & Dad deliberately ignored any comments i made. Grocery shopped & bought a rice ball for dinner. Came home, tried on dress & was pleased :) Watched more korean tv, cried, ate rice ball for dinner, cried, got a shower & now here. In a mood. Supposed to go to the beach tomorrow & for some brazilian food =) That is, if there isn't a thunderstorm (lots recently) crossed fingers! Wanna wear my new dress tomorrow :p & secretly, i wanna get caught in a thunderstorm =)

Let the rain fall down.

Woken up by the dad's loud voice this morning & I was too tired to get up and get dressed, even though it's Saturday (is it?). I hate morning rush, of getting dressed in a rush i mean. Beauty can't be rushed! Mascara smudges and smeared lipgloss is a no-no. So i decided to pretend to be asleep still, which failed because mom saw me getting into position. Then there was a hint of regret about not going out with the rest of my family when Dad mentioned shopping... but i couldn't give up to them so easily! They genuinely think i'm a shopaholic :( So anywaysy, after much planning and thinking in the comfort of my bed, i decided to wack on Dad's computer (cus it has awesome speakers) and blast some music up =) funnn. Then i got bored and went to the gym, where i bumped my head on some metal and sobbed in pain. Got pissed off and did 50 of those arm pulling things. The people watching me on the hidden camera must think i'm a right goofball. It instantly left me with an ugly bump on my head. Stammered my way back home, got changed and went next door's mall to get food, thought i didn't have much of an appetite. Strange, how i've almost completely lost all my interest in food these days... Then, dad cooked some Thai =) Yum. I ate a bit. Throughout the lazed day, just been watching korean soaps on tv, and crying about Geum Jan Di & Gu Jyun Pyo's breakups & almost-makeups. Lots of tears today. & finally, we all watched 'The Hangover', and laughed our heads off. Especially dad, but he just laughs at anything. Mom coudn't resist the washing as usual. & then, I happily went off to my room, turned on my favourite sidelamp (it gives out pretty light), got comfy under my purple duvet and turned on my laptop to catch up with my favourite ppl :) My daily nightime routine. Reading stuff written about me by simin can be so touching... i'm too emotional today, gosh. But i really miss her. Maybe if i hit the lights out, all my feelings can be just, kept out there in the darkness for a while. Then i'd finally be at rest, listening to the heavy rain falling :)

Just Watch The Fireworks.

So I woke up at 3, which is earlier than I predicted. We sped off to the festival, where we stood watching boats pass by on the river and listened to heavy drumming. I felt totally out of place as I wasn't wearing a Yukata (japanese costume for girls) and my hair didn't look its greatest, compared to the rest of the dolled-up Japanese girls. I was just thinking, & this is not out of jealousy, that although they put so much time into making themselves look absolutely gorgeous with a little help of hairspray, false lashes and coloured eye contacts, it makes them look rather... well, bimbotic. As they strut arm-to-arm with their bfs around the festival, I couldn't help but wonder why guys go for the fake look. Anyway, because the place was completely packed, we had to stand for, what, 4 or 5 hours and wait for the fireworks display. In the end, I don't think they were particularly outstanding or worth the time! And, maybe if they weren't so disappointing, I wouldn't have let myself think so much about him throughout it all. Not 'him', but him. Yes, i blame it on the fireworks, and perhaps the perfectly matched-up couples around, too.

Lazy

I wish people could just say what they mean, without hesitating in any way. You'd think after so much time, you'd get your answers...
Didn't do much today, since I woke up at 3pm. If it wasn't for the drilling going on upstairs, I wonder how much longer I would have slept for :p So, the rest of day flew by really quickly! This leaves me with not a great deal to blog about... Watched more korean soap in the evening :), but somehow, i'm one of those rare people that can't go to sleep early regardless of being absolutely worn out, and it's because I need to feel like my day involved a kind of acomplishment, you know? Or there must be something to look forward to the next day... otherwise, i find it really hard to sleep. Is it wrong to be like this? hmm :p I think I need to be adjusted. I'm also thinking about shutting down my facebook account. Maybe it's time for everyone to start using Twitter... I think i'd be so much more fun, and it saves having to wonder what that certain someone is up to at that exact moment :)

All Good Things Come To An End

Just came back from the airport after dropping mummy off... but i'm not sad as I will be seeing her in 2 days back in Japan. Although i'm kind of looking forward to going home, i'm also pretty down about the fact that i'll be leaving my hometown this soon. Time really does fly fast. Went to watch Harry Potter in cinema today. Quite funny in some bits and actually quite scary too! I also had 2 cups of bubble tea today tut tut tut. Still, i wonder what tomorrow will be like (last day)... what shall i do? Hopefully this cough and cold will go away by tomorrow morning. No more singapore until next summer i'm guessing =( I think i'm thinking about too much tonight, gotta give my poor head and soul some rest before it all kicks of tomorrow...

It Means Nothing

Today was really quite something. Was truly a great day. I had my event at Klapson's Boutique Hotel Lucas Restaurant and I actually dined with Adrian, who's the director. Just the two of us! I didn't expect that. Hope I didn't bore him or disappoint him... He probably thought i'm an exception because he thinks i'm pretty =S Oh well, that doesn't count. I do hope that Deepan will write something about his restaurant. Omg, the food was to die for. He ordered the best dishes. I had mushroom soup with truffles followed by scallops with caviar, chicken and the beef, all imported from America. The dessert platter came last. Truly exquisite and I seriously felt like some sort of VIP person in such a place. His company was great, but i'm still worried that i wasn't. I actually thought he was kind of... cute :) Men with power, yum! Hahaha. I hope to see him again to thank him properly for the who experience. It was definetely memorable. Tomorrow I have the Issey Miyake launching of new parfum =) ... Not long after the event, I went down to the minimart with Simin and the lady there found out we worked in ACP upstairs and she fed us chinese snacks and gave us each a banana! Hahahaha. I think she was a woman, but not too sure. Met my mom cousin and brother at Ngee Ann City and I bought a lovely pink Forever21 dress, M.A.C makeup, Fox tank top and Mango black leggings =) I'm so exhausted. I hope to meet more cute guys at the event tomorrow, but the chances of that are likely to be slim...

Somewhere a clock is ticking.

I'm feeling really useless right now. I mean, i'm at work and I've not been given any tasks to do, like all day. I wonder what the plan is after work. A lot has happened over the weekend, so I'll leave that part out. What i got out of it though were 2 new dresses, 2 hair dyes and a signature towel. Still, if I should dye my hair, would I lose my natural colour? That is something that i'd rather avoid happening. I can't believe my holiday in Singapore is going so quickly. It's quickly depressing me :P There's so much to do in so little time, as most of it is spent as work, doing stuff like this. It also means going back to school and reading gcse results is sooner than I imagine... two of the things I dread the most now. I'm also IMing Ameen now. It's strange because two years ago I went through something that made me realise that he was not someone I want to talk to, ever. Then, since a few months back, we talk and i'm not stopping myself. It's really weird, just talking like friends. He's not the one I want to hear from though...

Stuck in reverse

Tummy is hurting again oof. Work was tough today, but I got invited to Issey Miyake's launch of a new perfume so I guess it's all worth it in the end. Simin & I decided to have lunch at Ichiban Boshi (which is a pricey japanese restaurant, out of our budget anyway) but we changed out minds and then we ever so subtly left our table =) hahaha. Then we went back to the office, and that's when I think my supervisor caught me on Twitter, oopsies. I then went shopping in Orchard Road, bought 3 t-shirt dresses in Far East Plaza. By the time we reached home, I was desperate for some cold beverage (as i'm not actually supposed to have any) so I downed some chilled milk. Somehow I regret doing that, as my tummy is now in pain. Sorry, tummy. Hang in there. See, that's the real problem with me. I never listen to anyone! =( Didn't speak to Daddy today. & Dylan's not replying to my IMs, and nobody's saying anything. Let's not say a word tonight then. I am now listening to BEP's I got a feeling, it is soothing. Possibly my fav song atm. Suddenly everything doesn't seem so bad...

One of those days.

...Where can I start? It's been one heck of a day that i haven't had for a while. Rough argument with my mom about me not drinking enough water. Had to return some borrowed clothes for another intern back to Vivocity's Warehouse, Diva and River Island (plus some shopping for myself). The cab driver didn't give me the right change. Then me and the other interns went to Great World City as per usual, and me and Simin had takeaway sushi and sat at Yoshinoya, in which I left my HSBC drawout receipt in (a regret). When I realised I had drawn out $100 and didn't collect it, BUM. So i had to fish out the wet sticky receipt from the bin bag hahaha. I was in such a panic people turned heads. Then i had to carry out research on Lip Ice lipbalms and pretend i wasn't incredibly annoyed with myself. After work I visited a chinese doctor (my aunt's fav haha) and i received an unexpected acupuncture. Painful as what. I also found out that my right foot is a whole shoe size bigger than my other. Too bad I can't afford two sizes of shoes everything i buy, since my allowance is now shorterned. I then played with the doctor's rabbits haha. Then we had a chinese soup dish called Bak Kut Teh which was slightly appalling and overly priced in pretty much a skanky place, although the waiter were kind enough. Last night I actually dreamt about 'him', making me miss him even more today. Especially in the taxi when i looked out of the window and heavy rain was staring right back at me. Kept thinking about the scene in 'The Notebook'. If only. Well, all i can do now is sleep it off, and all the bruises (from the doctor's too).

Clarity

I should be asleep by now so i'm gonna make this quick :) Today was quite the norm. Work was..alright! I didn't manage to screw up anything. Meeting my twin was totally beserk, as he was not the same as how I remembered. Oh well, things usually change for the better. But probably not in Mr.Cool guy's case. How is it that my brother can leap from one girl to another, whilst I keep standing still, unable to let go?

There's a first for everything.

So this is my first online blog ever...

Went to Parkway Parade mall today and bought some cute wedges. And then I came home and played with my darling of a cousin, Natalie, who I swear is a lot smarter than an average two year old. And a lot cuter :) That was probably the highlight of my day. Actually, everyday. Then I had some durian which I half regret doing as my fingers now smell rank! And then I missed him. But that's not got anything to do with the fruit :P I hate how people never mean what they say, but only in the spur of the moment. Anywaysy, tomorrow my twin will be arriving in Singapore so I shall pick him up (that is, if he doesn't get lost in Charles du Gale in Paris Airport) after work (oof) and then we shall all have a family dinner somewhere to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. Once for all time's sake :)


Until tomorrow.
