Dissapointment

I hate updating about old events, coz i just forget them or can't be bothered to talk about them even they were nice or fun or whatever.. i guess i better update everyday! or not..

On Thursday we went to my aunt's house, they had British people coming over -who are here on holiday- and so they invited us so we would 'entertain' them LOL the same thing happened in October with the same people, can't remember if i blogged about it. anyway, it was really fun.. so many fun things happened but i just can't be bothered to write about them now, 2 days later.. oh and so many funny incidents too..

Today we were supposed to go to Lulu island -which I've been waiting for since last Saturday- but when we got there it was closed coz of a boat race or something, my bro says its a Formula 1 race but im not sure.. i was so disappointed especially since i'd invited fefechan and it was the first time she goes.. in the end we went to this park just so my mum's friend's kids don't make a fuss.. it was sooo hot although fefe says it wasn't. we didnt really do much.. we played a board game, and Bash and fefechan's team kept on winning :/ im blaming it on my other team members lol since they were the youngest three.. anyways, it was fun but i wish we'd gone to the island, it is so much better there.. I hope we go next week.. but will fefechan come..? i hope so..

I watched Lindsay Lohan's "i know who killed me" last night with my sisters which was quite scary considering we were in the outside living room which is not connected to the house and one whole wall is glass windows and we could see the trees' shadows lol which kept making us jump.. and hearing weird noises that made us pause the movie a couple of times.. anyways, it was good..

I've got too many things to do.. got to go..

PS since we didn't go to the beach i didn't put sunblock on although we were in the sun and now im sunburnt again.. not as bad as before but god it stings!

Blood Donation and Japanese Delegation

Yesterday after work i though i'd go give blood, and i had come with bash so we went together.. i didnt have a clue about her being afraid of needles. When we got there and they hooked me up, bash would not look my way LOL.. anyways.. all went smoothly, as usual.. then when the doctor pulled the needle out and told me to rest and went out.. usually i never rest and just walk out.. but as soon as the doctor went i almost fainted.. the horrible thing is, i got this feeling you get before fainitng but didnt actaully faint and it lasted for about 10 mins or so.. it was the worst thing ever.. my head was spinning and i couldnt open my eyes or my mouth.. i told bash go and get me a drink and the next thing i know the doctor is putting cool towels on my face and asking me if i have a sis called XXX? i was so out of it, i dont know what i said.. poor bash, the doctor was like why didnt you call me coz she came in and called my name and i didnt asnwer (i dont remember this but bash told me) so then she got worried.. anyways, its the first time something like this happened to me after giving blood and i sure freaked bash out.. bad first experience for her LOL sorry about that bash!


The day before yesterday, a japanese delegation came to the place im doing my internship at. and bash's boss Paul was going to meet with them, plus some other people, and she told him that i can speak japanese and im interested in japan or something. I was sitting in the office minding my own business and she came in and was like, theres a meeting with some japanese people and they want you to go.. i was like WTH i cant speak japanese, only basic stuff, but she said Paul said it would be a good experience so i went.. it was soooo much fun, i loved it.. a funny thing i noticed after the meeting was that when one of the japanese guys was talking, and before the translator translated what he said,most of them had given us brochures so they would say turn to page 27 or something, and i would turn to that page before the translator translated, and everyone would wait for him to translate, after the meeting i realized that and i hope noone noticed LOL. after the meeting all these japanes ebusinessmen kept coming up to me and giving me their business cards (with two hands ofcourse) and i recieved them accordingly, and in the end they even gave me a present and i was like arigatou gozaimasu (nothing complicated here but impressed them LOL) and the 2 guys were like do you know japanese and i said a little and they said subarashii-fanatastic =) lol i impressed them with 'thank you' LOL i wish there was a chance to say something more meaningful to them.. anyways, it was really a good experience and really fun..


I'm at work but the 3 people in the same room with me havent come till now so i better go see my other supervisor, im sure she has work for me.. i'll update later..


Oh and fefechan's mum said yes! YAY!

Kita Yoshio, yasashii hito ne..

konbanwa!

I was so tired from work today that i tricked Bash into going home with me just so that i would make her drive ;P Just kidding.. LOL.. thats what she thinks, but i just wanted company and i didn't want her to have to wait for her sister to pick her up since she still doesn't have her car yet.. driving alone is really boring...tsumaranai!

I went to do something (taking a break from listening to Bash talk non-stop about cats jk ;P ) and came back into my room to find this drawing stuck to my cupboard, thanks Bash, totemo kawaii ne..
Bash told me to invite fefechan to the beach next weekend, i told her i would but she probably wouldn't go, and was surprised when fefechan said she will ask her mum.. YAY! i hope she says yes.. that would be so kewl..

Kita Yoshi only has 6 days of his life left! =( Oh cross that out, gomen fefechan just had to mention that dorama-related fact..

My youngest sis and i chatted for hours today about my trip to Japan. Shes the only one slightly interested in Japan so i told her some of the incidents that happened and stuff and she really enjoyed it.. She really wants to go to Japan now.. LOL i've created a monster!
Tokyo Tower's see-through floor is so cool!
Oyasumi!

Dango no kazoku

Konbanwa minna!

I was so bored today so i decided to watch an anime called "CLANNAD" (the movie not the series). It was staring me in the face every time i opened crunchyroll so i decided to give it a try although im not an anime fan at all. I watched it, the story was ok, not that great but i loved the anime style, the drawing and stuff, better than a lot of other anime movies i've watched before. Anyways, there was this thing in the movie about a family of dango. It was cute and the girl in the anime kept singing a catchy song about this dango no kazoku so after i finished watching i searched youtube and found the cutest dango no kazoku, they are so cute and the song grows on you although its not as good as the one in the movie which is different. Anyways, see for yourself.(theres a longer verison on youtube, this is the shorter one)

Another thing i wanted to mention was that i came across youtubu.tv yesterday and it has the same interface as youtube, i was just wondering if this is the japanese youtube or if it was someone copying them, i guess i could've looked into it but i couldn't be bothered. I call youtube "youtubu" anyways, just for fun, so i typed it in not expecting anything and when the site opened i was shocked lol..

Someting else i wanted to mention, my mum's best friedn's daughter who i said went sky-diving in New Zealand, well she developed a fear of hights soon after that! That is so weird you know.. but my mum says shes even afraid of hight bulding now, WOW what a change, but its affecting her life.. poor girl.. maybe i should rethink sky-diving, i've always wanted to try it but maybe not..

Ja minna.. kio tsukete ne

Oompa Loompas, fish tanks, the beach, fog, no connection,dont even try

I promised fefechan i wouldn't talk about dramas anymore ^^ so i hope this doesn't count. Bara no nai hanya's OST is quite good, or maybe im biased coz i alread like the drama. I have feeling noone will like it, LOL esp Bash, but i do, the lyrcis aren't really sad but the song sounds like it is..

The other day i dreamt that my sis H had found both our retainers in the fish tank. I was sitting in my office later that day and remembered my dream so i sent her a message and told her, "i dreamt that you found our retainers in the fish tank LOL". She sent a message back (she was on a school trip so she had her phone) saying "What fish tank? We dont have a fish tank?" LOL i was like, why dont people get me, why would i write "LOL" except coz its funny that we dont have a fish tank.. as if i dont know! LOL maybe im just incomprehensible at times..

We're going to the beach again tomorrow, won't forget the sunblock this time! This time my mum's friend A and her kids are coming along so it should be even more fun, bash is going too..

I feel so bad, the blood bank called me 2 days ago and wanted me to go give blood but i said i couldn't go that afternoon coz i was on my way home so they said can you come tomorrow morning coz there a patient who needs blood.. and i said ok, fully intending to go.. but i completely forgot about it and didn't go.. and now i feel bad about it.. hopefully someone went and gave blood in time..

Today was my first time driving in fog, YATTA! my parents had been driving me on the days when it was foggy but today they decided i should try it or i'll never learn and i was mighty fine, if i say so myself.. LOL..

Have you guys seen Charlie and the Choclate Factory? I can't remember if the new one has the same songs as the original one but the songs in the older version were soo good. Of course we watched it as kids and loved it so much that my grandma kept sending us copies of the film coz we kept losing ours.. my little sis and i were singing the stupid songs today, we had so much fun being crazy.. my favourite is the "Augustus Gloop" song.

Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at, getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that"

Heres a clip of one of the other songs, Veruca Salt, the brat.

I better sleep early, i invited Bash for breakfast at 8 so i better be up and ready by then..

doramas and stuff

I started watching a new japanese drama called "ashita no kita yoshio" yesterday. Its a bit differnt than anything i've watched before but its supposed to be full of twists so we'll see how that goes. Its basically about this guy who decided hes going to commit suicide in 11 days, and then in those 11 days he experinces the most eventful days of his life.

I can't seem to find any subbed "Edison no haha" episodes, i want to watch the next episodes, its good. But the thing i want to watch the most is "bara no nai hanaya", i know ive talked about it before, but its just so amazing.. the latest subbed episode hasnt been uploaded except on d-addicts which means i cant get to it, and the guy uploading it on veoh didnt upload it yet.. im so impatient, i really want to watch it..

Apart from watching dramas ive been preocupied with my capstone project. I've been thinking about ideas and finally settled on one that i like the most and that i think i'll find enough resources for, i just hope my group and our capstone supervisor Kitty like it. God i can't believe i'll be graduatting in 3 months!

I remember one of my classmates last semester was taking kick-boxing classes, i don't know why im thinking about it now but I'd like to try it LOL is it as weird as it sounds?!.. i really think it would be fun.. so I've asked her about it, i hope she replies..

I don't know what happened yesterday, i slept for like 4 hours and then got up and started tossing in bed, and then all of a sudden i started thinking about really serious things.. and i couldn't go back to sleep until and hour later.. it was just weird.. coz the things i started thinking about, and not just thinking, making decisions and stuff, were all really serious stuff.. LOL..

"U R welcome"
Anything weird there? Not to you im sure but for the first time ever, my mum sent me a message with abbreviations. She always writes the whole word out which annoys me so much if its something urgent, so when she sent that today i did a double take, i was like WTH, mum? seriousely? LOL

Its been a year now since i started eating my noodles with chopsticks, first i did it coz it was fun, now i do it coz im used to it but the funny thing is that its become such a normal thing in our house that noone even notices, and i keep thinking that everyone eats their noodles like that, so i was surprised when i saw my sister eating noodles the other day with a fork.. it was like i woke up LOL i was like OK i've been living in my own little world a bit too long.. We have as many chopsticks as forks now.. which my older brother always teases me about..
Off to make another japanese music CD for the car.. ive been listening to the same songs for a week and a half now, twice a day, they're getting boring (except "another Christmas", fefechan ;) LOL i can never get bored of that!)

PS whats all the hype about JUNO, ive seen it a couple of weeks ago and its not really that good, i'd probably give it a 4/10..

New layout

Finally a new layout, i've had it for so long, long before i went to Japan but never got around to actaully putting it up.. its not perfect.. there are a couple of things that look odd but i cant fix them so get used to it.. LOL
