Friday the 13th~

Didnt realise today is Friday the 13th until saw the main news at yahoo.sg. No particular happenings today except received a kuku question via sms. It was from a customer's friend. Her friend dont have computer, can only communicate via hp.

Her friend's name is D.

D: Im EL's friend. I want to ask, can i pre-order Diru's 2009 calendar? Those that kino always have for pre-order.

Me: Err..calendar's pre-orders usually starts from Nov.

D: Oic,,then, can you pls tell me the price with the estimated shipping?

Me: (roll eyes *_*) I dont have the price and i dont know what is the dimension/weight, so cant advice u on the price. Pls check back in Nov.

D: Oic..thanks for ur help.

Hmm,,,,perhaps she think i am Kyo or Toshiya's best friend.. Only locals will ask such questions. At times, i wonder where did our educational system went wrong...We have first class in many things but den,,not really first class in mentality and common sense.

Sometime ago, read a news regarding one of our minister who went to Europe and he visited a class in one of their school. After that, he told the reporters "the educational system here is very good and students are independant, able to speak their mind and put their message through. They also interact well among themselves and the teachers. You cant find this in Spore." I was kinda surprise when he said that..meaning, he feel our education environment is still not up to the West. Well, here, you have to watch what you say, so it is difficult to speak your mind. (We are schooled like that since young, so it is difficult to do likewise when we become adults.)

Lately had a bad obession.. that is, shopping for clothes at Rakuten. They have soo many lovely flora chiffon blouse/dress for sale. Prices starts from Y545..last night asked my sister-in-law to combine orders from a Y1000 shop. All their items are Y1000. She bought 3 items and i bought 2 items. It has free shipping within Japan with a minimum purchase of Y5000

Most of their clothes are a bit auntie but i bought those embroidary blouse lah!~ My sister-in-law bought blouses mainly as her office wear.

Now is also the Yukata season...alot of beautiful Yukata sets..very nice to see but i wont wear them coz it is so hot here and im not going to the Natsu matsuri.

Also, im in love with fruity yogurts lately. Bought a tub to indulge..soo yummy. I used to dislike yogurts coz of the sour smell and taste. I had my first taste of fruit yogurts in Japan coz i cannot find any chocolate or strawberry milk (I need calcium). Saw the yogurts section just beside the milk section, and so, fruity yogurt is better than plain milk (Japanese milk seems dilute to me. It is like water). Wah, the first taste of it is soooo mesmerising..yummy!!~ I wonder why they dont have flavoured milk. They only have those regular milk, hokkaido milk or diet milk. And yes, they dont have dark soy sauce too. Only have light soya sauce..i wonder why also... I told myself that i must bring my own dark soy sauce if im going there for a long trip. That time need the dark soy sauce to stir fry the tofu,,,in the end..have to use light soy sauce. It is soo miserable not being able to find these basic things there. Perhaps there are some more that ive yet to discover...
