Haven't blogged in so long coz' I'm in the process of changing blogs...thanks Di! My new blog will be at:
http://kusanobaby.blogspot.com. Reason for the name? Well, Kusano is my fave johnny's jr!!! hehe
I turned 25 2 days ago...it wasn't that eventful....in fact, I think birthdays get less and less exciting...I grew up with 17 yrs of my birthdays caught in between exams, the other pitiful few were beyond my memories....I remember wanting to grow up and graduate so I can finally have a proper birthday party or celebration (heck, I didn't even have those li'l McDonalds' party coz' everyone was studying!)...but guess when I'm that tad older, it just doesn't feel fantastic being older! I mean, I can no longer say I'm in my early 20s...I am officially in my mid 20s..very mid! Bah!!

Pitas was down yesterday and I couldn't login the whole day. Had a mini panic attack, thinking someone hacked into my page....hehe...
Caught up with my sis,Di on msn finally...ah well, actually I just had it installed..hehe...it's real fun! And she's having her thesis presentation, so *prays hard* everything should go well...I remember when it was my time, I was freakin' out and all, but i just had to pull myself together for the presentation...in my opinion, I give a good presentation but the moderator was blooody mean and asked me some stupid questions like 'how many people do you think work in the patent office'....my project was about applying for patents in Singapore....like how the heck would I know how many people work in the patent office???? As if they would just let me walk up to their office for a 'come and see me' day! Grrr...I remembered never to answer anything with 'I don't know' so I gave some dumb answer which basically equals to 'How the heck should I know?'...LOL...thinking back, it was actually quite hilarious!
ON another note, I haven't been sticking to the strict diet I wanted to....been snacking alot...ahhhh....*whacks myself* gotta stop myself....bring out my will-power!

Sorry for not blogging for so long...but I wasn't really in the mood...nothing much is happening here. There was a newspaper article (full-page actually so it was more like a feature) on Blogging! Apparently Blog comes from WeBLog--you knew that? Well, I didn't! Anyway, they listed a couple of Blog hosts like WEbbloggers.com diaryland.com but no mention of Pitas.com or Blogspot.com and there I was thinking these are the 2 biggest blog hosts! Hehe
Heard from a customer yesterday that he has a couple of friends who got caught for downloading from kazaa! Whahahaha...they got fined like S$3000! You Kazaa fanatics, better stay off! We never thought that our tiny dot of a country would also be targetted! But I'm happy coz' as mentioned earlier I hate audio downloaders! :(
That idiot jerk of a Taiwanese guy who was supposed to have sent off my new batch of dramas more than a week ago finally replied my mail after I bugged him day and night...and all he said was for some personal reasons, he delayed sending my package and if I could give him some time, he will find a way to make it up to me! My question "DID YOU SEND OFF AT ALL!?!?!?" I was sooo f*ckin pissed I tell ya! I've been dealing with this guy for like half a year and the last time he did this, I was soo pissed but he kept apologising so I thought it wouldn't happen again..dammit! All I can do now, is pretend to be patient so at least he wouldn't just cop with the money!
I have to say again, I really really really can't stand the stupid Japo-named girly greasy fatass of Kelly's new helper! It doesn't help that her shop is facing mine so I see this dude face to face most of the time! I tell you, the music he plays actually kills! Well, it made me sooo frustrated, I would have killed him! Who on earth still plays Yuki Hsu!?!?!?!? That music was in like 5 years ago and it was like the macarena/wannabe of that time...u know how you find macarena the most irritating of all irritants right now? That's how bad it is....the worst thing is when Kel-ly asked him if Yuki H*u is his idol, he proudly says yes! Can you imagine a tall, big guy admitting to liking a teeny bopper who's not even a singer anymore coz' frankly she can't sing! Arrghhhh~ Ok ok I will try to stop commenting about this...and just for the record, I finally know why he calls himself Y*k0!?!?!?!?!*rolls eyes*

Kelly's gone back to flying! Boo Hoo~ I shall miss seeing her around...in her haste, she's hired a new guy to take care of her shop.....and I can't stand this new guy! Geez...kay, I'm being superficial and all..firstly, this guy has a stupid girlish japanese name! He's one of those who's trying to be hip but he's fat, big and talks like a faggard! And he spent the whole day playing ching-chong sugary pop chinese tunes which really irritated the hell out of me! I mean seeing a big size guy who dresses like a hip hopper playing a string of (probably self-downloaded) chinese popsey stuff is just disgusting! I cannot bear to even look at his oily face! Arrghhhhh...*turns mean mode off*
Hey Di! Glad you can see my page again...hope you solve your browser problem really soon!
Yay! My Taiwan dramas FINALLY arrived! Got my Yoi ko no mikata and Stand up! Boku dake no madonna should arrive tomorrow....this stupid taiwan guy took sooooo long to send me the dramas this time! Usually he would send out within a day or 2 of getting my money..this time, he sent out nearly 2 weeks after getting my money and he didn't even reply my emails!! And then when he finally said he sent off like last week..but I checked the package and the date said this week Monday! I'm not gonna order from him again, unreliable bastard! I thought he was gonna cop with my money coz' I sent him like S$300+ for a whole lot of dramas...NEVER AGAIN!

Had quite an enjoyable day-off so I'm gonna blog about it. Met up with Weng in the morning for breakfast then went to the pool for tanning session....well, swimming if I could..but *ahem* couldn't swim today so I was lying in the sun for almost 2 hours...and now, I'm sooo red! I look like a lobster..I honestly do! And I wore my sunglasses, trying to look posh and all, bad bad bad! Now there's 2 white circles on my red face....quite funny actually! My shoulders, chest, arms are totally red..like scarlet red....let's see what happens tomorrow...either I start peeling or I start getting a little darker...*please please don't let me peel*! Everytime I get a sunburn, I look like some leper, really disgusting!
Anyway, after our tan, we went to Suntec City to get the car polished....*beep! Intermission! I've decided to learn driving next year coz' they've changed the testing methods to allow learners to use automatic cars!*....we had a light McDonalds' lunch...very shocked that they no longer carry Chicken McCrispy! WHY!?? It was the best chicken around!! Then walked around Tower Records and Carrefour and decided to buy some storage boxes...finally got Weng to stop teasing me about Ai_Chan....threatened him that it will never happen if he repeats it one more time!! ^_^
Then headed down to Plaza Singapura..wow! The place is bustling with life...so many new shops and much unlike the deadtown it was last year...visited my friend's shop (Chapalang Shop)....very cool and cozy interior...had abit of business exchange about cargo, goods and stuff...these 2 guys as earlier mentioned were my uni-mates...
Had dinner after that and then headed back to our shop to utilize the new storage boxes and throw out the old ones...that's about it...actually not very exciting..just rather relaxing yet fulfilling day.. :)
Mom's coming back from Germany tomorrow.

I MADE MY FIRST DOWNLOAD! Yeah, a very big achievement for me coz' I really really hate internet downladers! I absolutely detest people who download music! I mean, I just strongly believe in supporting the original music art and keeping the original. I also really dislike pirated discs...ok, all this is for audio cds only! I know it's like double standards but I think it's absolutely fine to buy pirated dvds...hehe...but that's coz' the price difference between pirated and original dvds is alot more than that for audio cds....
Anyway, get back to the topic! Recently, been on some johnny's jr pages and realised that I don't get to see the newer performances as I do not have japanese cable channel here...and the discs I order from Taiwan are usually quite a few months back...so I decided to find some place to download...got myself on winmx.com....have no idea how to use it but just searched for johnny's jr and clicked on some of the stuff...waited quite a few days (considering my pc is using cable and is online almost 24hrs a day!) but nothing was happening so I considered myself a downloading-idiot....and then this morning, I suddenly realised other people were downloading stuff from me!!! Then I suddenly realised I had successfully downloaded some mpegs! Whoa~ I can finally see jrs!! But then, the mpegs I downloaded were actually some old stuff...let me review...
#1. Toma's graduation from high school...YamaPi,Koki,Hasejun,Toshin all came to congratulate him..and toma revealed that YamaPi sms-ed him to congratulate him on his graduation and hoped the 2 of them can work towards graduating from johnny's jr...at this point YamaPi scolded Toma for saying this out...kawaii!
#2. A medley of performances on recent Shounen Club consisting of Ya-ya-yah, ABC, 4Tops,etc...
#3. Very old programme where YamaPi and Toma were appearing as BIG..and YamaPi was saying something when Toma quietly blew into his ear...YamaPi got a shock and started squirming like a girl! This is my fave and I can't stop laughing and replaying it!
#4. An old episode of Yattaru J...with Takki, YamaPi and Sho!
Again, I am strongly against downloading of audio materials..only tv programme. I rest my case.

Last night, it was raining soo heavily that my house had a blackout...it was around 2am already so everyone was sleeping! But I got awoken coz' all of a sudden my hi-fi went quiet and the lights went out!! Arrghhhh~ I cannot sleep without lights and music! And the worst thing is, there was a thunderstorm so I had to close the window or the rain will come in! But there was no electricity so no fan no air-con and damn, I was sooo hot and started perspiring coz' it was soo humid! Of course, I could have climbed out of bed, get out of the house and find the electricity box but nah, getting out of the house in the middle of the night is too eerie...so there I was perspiring in bed and praying that my dad will wake up and do the dirty job! No such luck..seems everyone was well asleep...so I started feeling around for my torch..damn~ Can't find it..so used my hp for light instead but the blue light was kindda eerie mixed with lightning and all...so gave up on that as well...finally couldn't take the heat, I went to search for my handheld hello kitty fan (my mom bought it for fun and I haven't used it in at least a year!). As luck would have it, it still works!!! Yipee~ Not much fan so I practically stuck it at my face and through the irritating vibration and humming sound, I manage to nap a little...around 5am, finally someone woke up and turned on the electricity! Yay~
There ends my tragic night :(

Yesterday Weng's meeting was longer than expected...he told me he would be back in half an hour max..but he came back only 1 and a half hours later...and I was abit mad coz' I was so hungry and wanted to go home first...anyway, I didn't ask him how the meeting went until much later and he said he doesn't want the job coz' it's not challenging enough. Deep down, I was suspecting that it was because of me. And then last night, he sms me '...you must be thinking I would go all out to get back to the music industry....but my heart is with you...' quite touched that he can read my mind...but dunno if it's the right decision...

In a state of confusion right now...Weng got a call from the regional boss of Avex Trax this afternoon and he went to meet the guy....really in two minds about this new job offer he's getting! Because honestly, I think he's more than qualified for the job and if he was really looking for a job, he would get it! He's that kind of person who can turn on the charm to get his way! Here I am thinking that hey, if he gets the job, I can get lots of japanese cds! Most of the johnny's artistes are released under avex trax! But then again, I start thinking how am I going to continue with the shop without him....may like to end the business and do something else? OR venture into another business with someone else...I know that he wants to get a stable job with a stable income so if the boss is offering him a high pay, he'll probably jump at it...and I'll be happy for him...but what happens next? I'm just bewildered...and feeling very insecure now...sigh~

Saturday night, we went to check out the pub which Weng's bro wants to take over!! I was quite pissed that I had to go along coz' I hate those smoky places...and well, this pub wasn't that bad except that it's a karaoke pub and it's very small so it's almost like a ktv room and you're forced to listen to people singing! Grrr...well anyway, later on Weng's bro came along and when he intro Weng to the owner, she was like 'Oh so handsome, don't look like you at all!' which made Weng so happy...stupid vainpot! Then the bro proceeds to tell us this owner does not want to let go anymore and he's looking at another place down the road! Gosh! He should have told us before we went in!!!!
Anyway, I'm pretty much against the idea of him setting up the pub coz' firstly, he has no savings, no money! He just wants to borrow from the family...secondly, he wants the location at this street where there are probably 50 pubs, all doing the exact same thing~ drinks, pool table, karaoke blasting...so my sentiments is that why would people go to your place when there's a choice everywhere? Also, he wants it on the 2nd floor...which most people would not even know a pub exists! Lastly, the cost of running a pub is excruciating high and as I said before, he has no money to start with! Oh, and he's soo small size! I think to own a pub, you have to be pretty well-built so you can act as a bouncer if anything goes wrong...I think their whole family also thinks like that and don't really want him to do it..but they're afraid that he would think they don't want to support his ventures...this is the same guy who ran away from home with his gf and nearly got into trouble with the police over alleged 'kidnapping' ok???
Ziqi has been asking me lately about what keeps a relationship going...and I always dunno how to answer her! I think maybe it's when you can accept each other's faults and laugh at what the other party doesn't like about you...being able to insult each other and not take it to heart! Well, that's the case with me! I call my other half a stupid homo/bastard/irritating/old woman/gay boy....almost every other day! Hahaha...and he starts laughing everytime I start! I guess irritating each other does spur on interest!?

Just found out that Laura found a bf already and went around announcing to everyone...haha! Very happy for her though..she held out for this long..this guy must really be something! Can't wait to meet him!
Weng will be on tv tomorrow..already seeing him in some advertisement shots..haha..so funny! I don't think I can bear seeing him on tv...I'll probably get a stomachache from laughing! Ahhh...Avex Trax/Music Street seems interested in pulling him in for a marketing post...I'm kindda encouraging him to go for it..and on the other hand, don't want him to do it. Coz' I remember the old days when he was in the business and he was always soooo busy! Ah well...we'll see what happens...
