coming to end

just a few days more and that's it to 2009. inspired by Dai Gor i started reflecting a little of this year - not that i dun wan to but fear that the events will overwhelm me

it's been a year of ups and downs as usual

passing of my cousin
sprain both ankles
- thought i couldn't walk again
went for counselling
had my very downs facing myself during counselling
had my little ups than usual after counselling
my first dress up n help at a small cosplay event thanks to K n LP
my first visit to Cosfest
had two gruelling exams
went thru hell n fell ill in the process
got a temp job
met Paps n Shimp'-sama and re-live co-ordinating
had many first experiences (foie gras for example!)
second visit to AFA n first time help LP wif her costume n makeup X3
got to watch two good movies
went to Japan Creative Centre n enjoyed myself
after so many months met Puss - FAAAAAAT, well fed, so mellowed and beautiful - a stark contrast of how i first met him
Muru's overwhelming good newS that really make me look forward contiuing my life into the next year!!!
sang for Xmas-birthday - my first too!
did a good makeup X3 - makeup's FUN!
didn't send much Xmas greeting cos sick
my first edited PoT pairing picture
i still am sick

after the fairydust moments at counselling i'm left on my own to struggle n figure but without Paps, Shimp'-sama n - now my mum - i wouldn't have pulled through. but the most imporant thing is my move out of my shell which i'm always constantly challenged and forgot that it's not the word "challenged" but "encouraged"

again i want to thank u - more than words. For being part of my life. For being there during my ups and downs.

shiroi tenshi i still owe u $7.10 sorry..i'm still sick, when i'm well enuff let's meet up for dinner or coffee X3

read back the first paragraph...a little reflection was it?! XD

backache

while some are soaking in the festive season i've to be aware of my backache which i had a 21-needle accupuncture followed by 1 more accupuncture needle with cupping and finally accupressure massage treatment - i think it's a relapse from a minor slipped disc i had years ago bcos it hurts where it was operated

i'm aware that this needs constant treatment

eeeek!

i watched Amuro!!!!

i took the day off from my studies to squish the curiousity within me about Japan Good Design Exhibition at Japan Creative Centre. i'm just a bumpkin who knows nought about the technical aspects of design and architecture - can only go "ooh" and "wow"

One must go through strict requirements to qualify as a nominee for G-mark Good Design Award, eg help save the earth and help the people. Their exhibit range from drawn architectural pictures of the "green" cargo ship to viewing the ordinary everyday use of a pen in its showcase

They even have a 1958 design! Awesome..

Did i forget to mention to try out Fujiflim's latest offering of a 3D camera which turns ANY 2D environment to 3D which will only be in Singapore around next June?! And Canon's latest camcorder?! And the hologram-electronic picture frame? Next year they'll be bringing in the printer that prints 3D photos!! COOL..

They have a e-library which features the centre's artistic director's awesome reclining sofa. And they have a small selection of anime, cultural programmes, J-pop videos to choose from and more books about Japanese designs and bookguides of - to a design bumpkin me lah - high-level design and photos of Japan. Yes, they celebrate Gundam's 30th anniversary with an excerpt of the first Gundam! really cool! i din get to watch it totally cos i had to go somewhere else but to watch that even for just some minutes as i my jaw dropped in Amuro-fan-awe XD

Japan Creative Centre is at 4 Nassim Road. Click here for exhitibition details!

worth the wait

i'd never expected a sequel since the Storm Riders in 1998. I was excited to see the trailer at Comicon. i couldn't wait to watch Storm Warriors..11 years later!!!!

i guess because of the 10 years' progression in computer technonology there are greater and more digital graphics and effects. There are more martial arts choreography and a closer relationship between Feng (Wind played by Ekin Cheng) and Yun (Cloud played by Aaron Kwok)

it's only yesterday - after 11 years later - that i realised Cloud is older than Wind (i feel an avalanche of railings from Feng Yun fans)

it would be nice if i have the Storm Riders and Storm Warriors DVD in their original language with English subtitles - just for the novelty of it

the fun part is i'm now anticipating their THIRD sequel...cos..it's not over yet ;)

i'm..dreaming of a..

Christmas dinner. i guess most of the people at my age are high-flyers or pros in their field of work. they would be spending a little more having December dinners with family and/or friends during this festive season..wish i could be one of them. i do dream of holding a knife and fork, laughing with people i'm comfortable with as we cut - perhaps roast turkey or roasted chicken or steaks on our plates at dinners hosted by people living in semi-detached houses or restaurants or mini-restaurants among the lovely candlelight.

i am really hungry...XD!!!

my very first Korean drama DVD!!!!

with English subtitles too! whether it's well-subtitled or not (i think not cos LP says it's usually directly translated from Mandarin) i haven't watched it yet but doesn't matter, as long as i get the gist of it. i don't understand Korean too, it'll be nice if i do X3

The drama's about two young doctors: one's carefree the other's serious. They are under a superior who's strict and not borthered about hype and does what he does best as a surgeon but colleagues of his level and above are jealous of him. Slowly the story unfolds for each three of them and how they help one another in times of trouble. Can't wait to open and watch it - in its original language and English subtitles :3

another Korean drama with English subtitle i'd like to own is Coffee Prince. It tells the story of a girl who disguises herself as a boy to work in this coffeehouse and her interactions with the people around her. According to reviews the lead actress did a great job in the drama. I didn't get to watch it, only managed a few glimpses when it was broadcasted :3

missed/ing

am i missing on something? i've missed a lot..missing on movies, TV programmes, anime...but really it's interests. it has become a point that if it doesn't interest me i'm out, not that i want to but i don't want to waste my energy when i'm out - somehow it has also come to a point of "it's fine by me"

it's that i've come to a phase where i'm slowing down, being constantly disturbed by the urge to listen to the peaceful silence that keeps nagging at me

non-business-wise if i can't join 'em, just stay out, don't waste your energy and pretend that you're interested. Yes, i'm still fascinated by lotsa new things - my interests.

Kak is an example of how it's ok to be out so many common interests yet still able to get along well with people. i admire her and keep asking myself when can i be like her. And now...i'm proud to say..

i'm going to new places and soaking in my interests by myself on my own...i duno how to say it..i'm eager to embark on it - ah that's the best expression. No one comes with me, no one accompanies me, it's ok, cos interests differ. And i share when there's a chance. i wouldn't want to hang out with those who are engrossed in their own world - an advice from a senior - grow up, don't keep telling everyone just one interest, progress on telling them of your other interests. that way u'll diversify - and live.

having friends of different ages has shown me a lot although i'm still finding my footing but it isn't as shaky as it used to be, i'm a little more aware. it's just that i need more time as to how to react to things i cannot control and i don't need affirmation from everyone - after so many years of being betrayed and lied to i'd decided to just hear from those who really know me

and neither will i say anything more the same person again if i've no energy, i'm told in/directly "i don't want to hear it from you" or if the person is only interested in "hitting back", showing no respect to me being older

c'mon, will anyone around my age say this to you? very few..they just keep it to themselves. Some people would go "waaaa" as they see this person being so high-flyer or "being there" but within..is what i've just typed. Not just based on my own but also people tellling me and observing too

go figure
