A cousin passed away early morning on last thursday, leaving behind 2 children who are in universitiy..not really close with her but every CNY, her family will visit my house and she loves my mum's cooking. She stands out among my other relatives coz she's the only one among them tat speaks English. Even my bro remembered her as "the speak english relative". The saddest thing was, my cousin's mum (my aunt) was not informed about her passed on until 2 days later as our relatives are worried she cannot take the blow. My aunt is recovering from a serious illness. They finally broke the news to her on Sat morning and she seems calm. I know she must be crying hard inside her heart.
Another friend told me on Friday that her primary school friend passed away recently coz she didnt update her Facebook for such a long time. Upon checking with her other friends, they told her "she passed away". Gosh..my friend had a rude shock! She is only 35.
It is better to do what we love instead of regretting if we were to pass away suddenly..*emo*
And i spotted this:
http://zenhabits.net/2009/09/the-world-needs-you-to-do-what-you-love/
Life is all about flow. The more we resist, the more pain we feel. Read a book before and it said that resistance is what a pebble experience in the stream. It is resisting the stream of water and the water hit hard on it.
If we go against what our heart's desires, everyday is a terrible day. It is like walking zombies..by then, time has already passed and cannot be turned back.
Last night, dreamt i was at hide live..i dunno why but i just appeared as a happy and excited fan at hide's concert.. upon waking up, was wondering wat the heck i went to japan again..coz i dont think i will go there anymore.
The M guy who was supposed to buy diru's goods for my fren seems half hearted to buy..smsed him on sun morning and sun nite, he replied "oh, i nearly forgotten,,will try to get it..u may pay me when i return to spore." Err, i think i will end up like maki..
Browsed the EOY site just now n saw that the booth application has opened. Had applied and is waiting for approval..look forward to receive the goods news soon.

Singapore is world's 2nd most densely populated country
Check this out..cant imagine what will happen if we hit 6million people. Think will have difficulty breathing while walking on the streets, due to air and environment pollution (eg, spitting and littering).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population
2nd aunty's daughter will be moving into a new condo in Oct. My mum was kinda envious. 2nd aunt said "coz her condo now is near mrt, so her baby daughter (4mths) cant sleep well). Told my mum "strange lor, before she move in, she shld have checked the ammenities right? Why only now then realised it is noisy?". Anyway, told my mum now sporeans buying condo is like regular shopping. Queues everywhere,,like weekends at courts and major shopping malls. Same scenarios for the 2 LV stores along Orchard road. Told LP if i want to buy LV, i will buy it in Paris, London or Tokyo,,not queueing it in Spore!
Yday the armour ring customer replied again after mia for 1-2weeks. She said "if i order size 15 and if it cant fit me, can u help me resize or change another size?" STUPID QUESTION! If u buy a VW version, u cant even change, let alone a 35bucks replica version. Replied in a nice way and she paid to order "to take the risk" since i said no exchange or refund if it cant fit.
India seems to have serious H1N1 now,,im wonder if i still shld proceed with my trip,,zzz

lembek cashier and kuku customers
Was at bata (jurong pt branch) this evening coz my mum wanted to buy a pair of shoes. The aunty staff was kinda half hearted in serving us..she seached for the size and let my mum tried it,,after that,,she went MIA (perhaps went to serve other customers) and totally forgotten about us. My mum wanted to try another pair but there were no other staffs in sight. i went to the cashier and saw one uncle (presumely the boss..he was accepting payment from another customer). So, told the uncle i need size 6 for this pair (hand him the shoe). He took it and passed to another staff in the store room.
The Indian staff was quite fast n swift..she pass us the pair of shoes within 5mins. My mum decided to bought this pair. Saw the aunty sales staff walked pass and told her we dont want the 1st pair. She merely signalled leave it there. So, i went to the cashier to make payment while my mum sat on the seat.
Nobody at the cashier..then, came a guy who was on the phone. He wasnt on uniform,,so i tot perhaps he was checking stock or something.. then, he scanned my box and i realised he was serving me (still on the phone). Hand him the 50bucks and i turned my head to look at some stuffs at the side. When i turned back, the guy was gone! He left my change on the cashier table,,i was astonished! Is it so difficult to stop talking on the phone when serving customers? It is the most most basic manner. He should at least take 30sec off to inform customer to collect the change personally instead of just leaving it on the table.
Encountered some kuku questions today. yes, both are from Sporeans. Customer A wants to order a cd from an online shop. The shop ships overseas (a japanese site but all info is in english) and can accept payment in US$ (it is good,,coz now yen is more ex than US$). So, told him to order himself coz it is cheaper if he does it himself..
Customer B wants all the info abt the armour ring..sent her all the pics and dimension calculation website. she said her size is 5.5cm in circumference and told her according to the site, it is size 15. Size 17 also can if she dont want it to be soo tight as it is only 2.8mm difference. She replied "but i got a ring that is size 17,,circumference rite?" HUH? what qn is tat??
I get irritated by such customers because really encountered alot, 9 out of 10 such questions are from Spore. Self confession: I do no like to serve kuku Singaporeans!
A new and interesting customer from today's order. She is a Hong kong girl but her parents migrated to Ireland when she was very young. She speaks cantonese, english,irish and mandarin. She's not sure why her parents choose Ireland to migrate..these are brave people who have the courage to choose an almost unknown destination. Perhaps i will migrate to Sicily, Baracay or Timbuktu!
I was thinking if i should go backpack around asia or save more $ and travel around Europe..im not sure which is a better choice. My sis in law said it is better to go to the country i hope to visit most. Somehow, it is tempting to visit asia coz the air tickets are really cheap.. as for the locations,,it is mostly countrysides (eg,,.Vietnam,indonesia, cambodia). Im not sure if i like it or not coz it might reminds of malaysia coz of the similarities (if any). So far, im only interested in India. If i want to travel around the world,,surely, i must visit asia..it is a matter of sooner or later..
Last week, an Austria customer said she went to Germany for D'espairsRays lives. Prior to this trip, she was in Slovenia (her homeland but worked in Austria). She said there are cheap flights within Europe (something like our budget airlines) so she can even go to neighbouring countries over the weekends.
She introduced this:

Shall try it out when i visit Europe.
X Japan, show me ur music, not goods! Yoshiki had a neck operation on Monday in the US. Hope he is fine and dandy.

A Man who lived without money for the past 10years
Came accross an interesting article today..something for us to reflect on life.
http://men.style.com/details/features/landing?id=content_9817
Daniel Suelo's blog
http://www.zerocurrency.blogspot.com/
This article reminds me of a book (cant remember the title) which has a line "Nature takes care of all living things on earth". It meant the world is an abundance place for all living things, whether you have money or not. It is very difficult for our current society to understand.Last few days discovered i have dark eye rings..urrgghhh...coz i have the habit to sleep after 2am daily... zzzz

Speak Mandarin in Japan?!
Now there is more than half a million Chinese Nationals in Japan. Perhaps in the near future, schools in Japan will introduce Chinese and Korea language for their Junior High School.
http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/registered-foreign-population-in-japan-hits-record-high-221-million
Many tourist spots and shopping malls now have directories and voice overs in Chinese and Korea (besides the regular English). Some food eateries and fast food has English and Mandarin menus too. It is no longer difficult to travel in Japan if you do not understand Japanese.

Father Host --> Happy Father's Day
Yesterday Father host received my Father's Day present. It is 6 bottles of Tiger beer, and 1 kg each of chilli sausages and skinned potatoes. Just received his pic. He said he has a long lunch coz he's enjoying the food today.Just came back from a meet up. On the train home, saw a group of Indian tourists (their skin was quite fair though), mostly aunties and a few uncles. There were 2 empty seats opp me. The aunties rushed in and 2 of them quickly took up the 2 seats. Many of their friend have no seats. So,, they made space in between them so one of their friend can sit. 2 seats for 3 persons.
One of them even pointed at my direction, asking an uncle (from their group) to squeeze and seat in any space along my row. Phew, the uncle didnt do it..
Their builts were semi-obease type and immediately after the 3rd auntie took the seat, the passengers on both side quickly made space for them. A young man on the right stand up after he felt uneasy coz it was really squeezy. After the young men emptied his seat, the ladies quickly asked another friend (an uncle) to occupy the young man's seat. Wah lau,,,3 seats with 4 passengers!! Heng, it was my time to alight without seeing other passenger's expressions.. Cant imagine if their were our "Foreign Talents".
I think their mentality is perhaps, in India, they are used to Not seeing any empty space whether on the seats or standing area since ive watched on tv that Indians even stand along the staircase/doors or even on the top of their trains. They felt such a waste to see empty spots on our trains...so die die must occupy.

worsen local job market
Last sat went out with a customer, K. She had graduated from poly , IT course this year. She said her lecturer is helping graduates to find jobs in related area but all salaries starts from S$12oo. It was really shocking to hear this. I thought such range is for O level holders in admin or sales job. Now, even IT field also offers such low wages. Since K does not like IT jobs, she found a job with NEA (National Environmental Agency) as admin staff, same starting salary too and it is a 6months contract. After that, she dont know what is her fate.
Had durian this evening after dinner...it is the 2nd time i had durians within a week. The first time was last Sat. Sis in law said "the durian seller told me D-24 series will debut this week! I am eagerly waiting". She is a big fan of D-24 durians. Last year, my mum, my bro, my sis in law and me went to Outram park to eat D-24 durians. It was ex but was really worth it. It is king among all the durian range.
Received a surprised sms for a customer today. J send her greetings saying weather is hot and do take care of myself. So sweet of her. Her sis is Alice 88th's regular but not sure if her sis still buys from Alice.
Last night, our "recession proof" customer smsed me from UAE. She was testing if i could receive sms from her coz sometimes she might not be online but have urgent things to inform. She will go to Japan on this Sat for the next 3 weeks, chionging teppei and A9. The hotels she stayed are 5 stars ones..my supplier cant help but asked "her father is an oil baron?" hahaha. I said "perhaps or she has a $ printer at home". This customer said she takes taxis in Japan coz she dont know hw to take train. Train is too slow..she wants to go to the places fast. Not sure if she takes cab from Osaka to Tokyo and then back to Osaka coz she has not heard of JR pass...

Lembek cpf system
See the last chart for a clearer picture.
http://wayangparty.com/?p=10028
Last year, a friend of mine was out of job. She does not want to take up part time jobs and insists on getting a full time job with $ xxxx salary so with combination of her contribution and her employer's contribution, she can use the total sum in her cpf account to pay for her flat (co-own with her brother). I told her isnt it better to find 2 part time jobs, then contribute the full amount yourself rather than waiting for a full time job? She said no, she dont want to lose out on the free $ by employers. Last heard, she got one part time job...
2 days ago met my neighbour on the lift. She is an auntie and she knows i work for my fren and does the online biz. The first thing she asked 'ur fren got give u cpf anot?". I said no. She was soo shocked. I continued by saying 'i save the $ elsewhere that gives me better returns." Aunties loves our cpf system coz must use it to buy hdb flat. Was asking my mum hw much our flat cost when they first bought. it was about 30k. Now can sell for 200k. Appreciation?? If sell the old flat, must pay alot for the next flat..
Last night watched some X Japan live 5/30 in taiwan clips and Yoshiki went to Sichuan's clips. From some videos, can see some Taiwanese fans were openly fliming and taking photos of the live.
A few days ago in our chinese newspaper, there was a report tat our local singer, Liu Yida went to the X Japan live in taiwan and he snapped many photos. He had a brawl with the bouncers. He said he wanted to capture this memory as he is a big X Japan fan. So disgraceful, esp he is an artiste ( a small one) himself. A-Mei and Luo Zhixiang also went to X Japan live. A-Mei wept when the screen show's X Japan's happier time during the song, Without You. Luo Zhixiang said he is a X Japan fan coz he played X Japan songs with his band when he was younger But he does not know the vocalist name,,he only said "hide". Thus, there was a comment saying he came to "cou re nao".

X Japan 5/2 live
Some clear clips of X Japan 5/2 live. Just realised today that i havent been searching for these clips at youtube.
Just realised the announcer announced " Guitarist - Sugizo". I dont remember hearing it though..maybe im too tired after 6hrs under the sun. All i knew was, once i found my seat and put down all my stuffs, the lights went off,,omg,,im soo thankful im in time to catch the opening. However, was surprised it started almost on time (only 30mins late).
Only knew Sugizo became an Official X Japan's member after the live coz Kaori told me. We met outside tokyo dome coz i was soo late by the time i went in the dome. Our original plan was either she came to my seat or i went to her seat.
No photos taken by myself from this live,,my biggest regret (and blunder).
Nontheless, it was an exhilarating live, esp when Toshi first opened his mouth/sang. I am very happy his voice came back. I feel that only Yoshiki, Toshi and Sugizo is enjoying this live.
I dont think i will go to any of X Japan's live anymore coz somehow, even for this live, it is no longer the X Japan that i use to like. This "new" X Japan, is too commercialise for my taste.
Very "scared" of this song, Without You coz the big screen will play X Japan's happier times and make fans think of hide. Many fans cried during this song. I ren..

Taromomo?
This evening my mum yelled from the kitchen "Taromomo! U want some guava?" I cant believe my ears,,Taromomo?!! hahaha. Actually Taromomo sounds nice too,,hahaha. He ate 2 slices of seedless guava.
Last night met with M. She said her friend's Dashchund (hotdogt dogs) gave birth to 4 mini hotdog dogs 8mths ago and gave one of them to our another friend. Mini Dashchunds must be very cute..it is black in colour too. Told Momotaro last night if he needs a new friend,,his younger relative..hahaha
So long didnt blog coz im lazy...cant sleep well since i came back from my trip. I dont know why,,perhaps weather too hot? My eye bags and dark circle ring are popping out...
Read an sms last night around 12.3oam..it's from a customer. She bought a set of diru's guitar pick set 2years ago and haggled for discount. This time round, she wanted some discounts for 2 x japan's goods. Said cant coz tat time is use expensive yen to buy de,,so cant give discount. Well, didnt even give her discount for diru's pick set 2 years ago,,wat makes her think this time round, she will get the discount? She's kinda persistent,,pester till 1.15am..of coz, didnt give her discount. She gave up and said "ok, when can u meet?" She asked about buying from Taobao site,,said i dun have a lobang, she can google coz there are some sites tat does Taobao sprees. She said she dun trust these sites. Finally,,i can sleep at 1.45am..

Mt. Hua Shan 華山
I want to go to Mt. Hua shan but i dont want to climb this. Not sure if it is possible...
A PRC friend told me that Hua Shan is x4 times higher than Mt. Huangshan.. He had climbed it before and thus Mt. Huangshan is an easy task for him. Im vice versa,,Mt. Huangshan already taken "half my life" to climb...
Saw a similar picture of this climbing on the internet. At the end of this trail, there is a small restaurant or temple. If you lose your balance, then Sayonara..
Not sure which mountain is this. It sure looks scary..

New camera!~
Bought a new camera this afternoon, at akihabara's Yodobashi camera store.
It is the red one,,was deciding whether to get the gold or the red. choose red instead coz im not sure if the gold will fade. If yes, it will be like bronze.. The red is kinda unique..like bloody red. Bought a conversion plug too. It is great that the conversion plug also got 5% rebate for tourist. Last time the tax rebate is only applicable to electronics.

Didnt know the camera need SD card..so i didnt buy one..zzz Father host has Yodobashi camera's member card. He asked me to redeem all the points when i buy the SD card. He said buy the biggest GB available coz it is more worthwhile. He is always so nice and thoughtful. Last night he drew me the train schedule to airport and all the timings and said he will go to the train station with me,,so sweet . He just asked me for permission to switch on tv,,i am soo paiseh coz it is his house,,den he ask me if he can switch on the tv,,, last 2 days Mother host also asked me the same question..i find it strange,,maybe because the laptop is beside the tv? I used their printer but i didnt ask permission,,,dun need if they will think im rude,,,zzz
Went to hide's Lemonade shop before going to akihabara. Bought some stuffs..but his trademark yellow hearts muffler towel, each customer can only buy 1. so limited siar,,im surprised coz there's still about 5pcs left.
Yday and today had Udon 'yong tau fu' for lunch. You can order any type of udon and proceed to pick up any additional side dish, den proceed to the cashier point. All done by pushing your tray only. Forget the shop of the name,,coz it is all in my receipt stack.
Oh yes, there is bubble tea counter in a shopping mall near where i stay..small is 230yen and big is 280yen. The pearls are mini ones. Had passed by that counter twice,,always see many school gals buying.
It is the red one,,was deciding whether to get the gold or the red. choose red instead coz im not sure if the gold will fade. If yes, it will be like bronze.. The red is kinda unique..like bloody red. Bought a conversion plug too. It is great that the conversion plug also got 5% rebate for tourist. Last time the tax rebate is only applicable to electronics.

F*cked up trip
today i lost my camera in one of the toilet in Roppongi...zzz i placed the camera behind on the table behind the toilet. i can literally flushed but forget to notice my camera! wah,,never been soo lembek! i only realised when i reached tsukiji station coz i wanted to snap the mrt signs. Den, my heart sank coz my camera wasnt inside my bag! so, i u-turned back to Roppongi station (20mins and walk 10mins to tat toilet). I went to the info counter to ask and also the Lost and Found counter but there was nothing,,haiz,,,,super lembek leh i am!!!! soo pissed with myself today..hw can i be sooo forgetful???
So i bought an instant camera..it was cheap,fuji flim, 39shots at 600yen. i think i will buy one more for my china trip.
Nothing went right since i entered Narita. My luggage and hand carry bag was searched (had to go to another counter and the custom officials opened up everything)..zzz i had to dump everything inside after they had checked..passed the exit and find a corner to repack my luggage and bag.
Day 2 - 5/2. X japan concert.
woke up 1 hr late coz my alarm clock was still singapore time!! In the end, i reached at 12pm and queued till 6pm,,with no lunch n dinner. only 2 muesli bars (heng i packed it in my bag) and 2 pet bottle of drinks. Today, received this mail. Can pre-order the tour goods. So F*cked up right???!!!! I think they do a round of pre-order coz there were alot of ppl who didnt managed to buy the tour goods. It is like, either u want to catch the concert or u want to queue for the goods..zzzz
http://l-tike.com/shopping/xjapan/
Day 3 - 5/3. Wine party
puke the hardest ever in my life!! went to the bathroom for about 10times..mostly puke..all the wine and everything came out..my heart beat so fast n i sorta have headache but i cant leave the party..so i merely sat n smiled while father host"s colleagues practise their engrish on me. I only replied yes and no..hahaha..but they were nice ladies..heng father host got pics for this party.
Day 4 - 5/4. Lost my camera
Most f*cked up of all!!!
Dunno y this trip is so unlucky. I kept consoling myself tat as long as im safe and sound..nothing else is important.
May tomorrow is a better day!!!
Something to cheer about though,,just received an email from a Shanghai gal (emailed her 1 week ago),,she replied saying she can meet me in Shanghai and book watever hotels and bus/train tix tat i need! Finally, a ray of light!! Going to reply her now.

kancheong about x japan tickets
been busy china's itinerary,,now with swine flu,i will put on a mask when i board the flight ..and also when landed at narita airport. It is very crowed at the arrival hall..scully a mexico or US flight also landed the same time as me.. *kiasi* My bro gave me 5pcs of masks today..lolz..
A bit worried when i heard the news today mentioning China have cases of swine flu..i dun have Internet access on some days..zzzzz
browsed x japan's tickets at yahoo aucton last nite. realised very little good seats in the arena area tat are up for grabs. The customer who ordered 2 tix thru u,,omg,,his seats are in level 2 or 3,,soo jia lat!! To think it is from the X japan street army..my supplier said it was in the centre, facing the stage,but woah,,level 2 or 3....@_@" I hope the customer dun come and scold me... the tickets kinda screw up and delayed in shipping out again (something like this happened last year too). This time they ship out 5days before the concert date..for the street army batch..soo lembek..was so worried if the customer can receive it in his hotel on time... luckily today sent it to him liao,,tml can reach his hotel.
Arena Seat area
I am kiasu,,so i asked my supplier to bid this:D7 at 15,000 is the closest gd and reasonably price seat i can find. Kaori;s seat is area E11
http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w3786005
Would love this seat, D9 but have to buy by pair
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h129539863
Oh yes, my lappie crashed on Sat nite,,so sent it for repair on Sun,,,monday got it back,,now, no favorites folder.
Dear Vonnie, pls email me ur blog;s url. Thanks!~ Today i realised the white chocolate biscuit was the famous Hokkaido biscuit!!~ Ive not see it at all,,,this time i must look properly. Is it bought from the airport? Momotaro had 2 small bits too,,lolz
Momotaro has constipation,,he havent poo for 2days,,im so worried..so i bought him baby veggies puree and feed him the carrot puree after his dinner. hope he poos tml. His biggest problem is, he do not like to drink water. I force feed him by syringe and whenever he saw me coming with the big syringe, he will run and hide under the sofa,,zzz

福岡 イチゴ 明太子
A newspaper article on yday's chinese newspaper reported about the famous Fukuoka Strawberries. It said during Sakura season, Japanese will buy some strawberries and eat it under the Sakura trees. Oh, no wonder when i was there, there's aplenty of strawberries in the supermarkets and they were quite cheap, from Y299/box.
The article also reports tat Fukuoka is one of the major exporter of strawberries, fruits and green tea worldwide. The farmers had a better life because of the International market. Japanese government supports the farmers by giving them grants to innovate and buy better machineries.
Fruits exports worldwide will print "福" on it's packaging because it is a lucky symbol and also means their perfecture.
Just refreshed my memory. Fukuoka perfecture --> Hakata city.
http://www.japan-hotel-reservations.net/japan_map/fukuoka_japan_map.html
I think it was in Hakata that i saw the dried strawberry noodles and many strawberry candies,snacks etc. Hakata city is also famous for it's ramen and 明太子 (fish roe?). Tried it's ramen but i think Sapporo ramen is the best.
Hakata ramen. I didnt know they are famous for it's ramen until on the way back to Osaka, i smsed my supplier to say i went to Hakata. Then, she replied 'oh, Hakata is famous for ramen." Heng, i ate a bowl for lunch. I feel it was so-so nia..
http://www.rakuten.co.jp/sn-fukuoka/970690/979284/#950122
I dont know what is 明太子 until i asked my father host. He drew a picture of it hahaha...and the next day, he went to supermart to buy a small pack. I tasted a few bits,,err, it was fishy and abit salty. Japanese ate it with steamed rice. There are spicy and non-spicy type.
Yummy ichigos. Vonnie, pls buy some at their supermarts when you are there. it is really cheap.

What a coincidence, i was thinking which perfecture grows famous strawberries and then, i read about it in yday's chinese newspaper.

X Japan live
Woke up this morning contemplating if should go to the 2 X Japan's live at Tokyo Dome in May. 2nd May is hide's anniversary (Kaori said in her email last night..ive acutally forgotten about it coz i dont take much note about hide). Kaori also said Yoshiki said he will plan a live in Osaka. She is overjoyed by this news. It is because she is currently looking for a full time job now (perhaps working part time or not working a the moment). She passed her book keeping exams last month, so is looking for jobs in the related field. She said it is hard to find full time job. Maybe Japan shld introduce SPUR Programme there,,so the Japanese can upgrade themselves for other sectors?!!
The local x japan fan is buying 2 nites each of the Y12800 tix. So, i asked supplier to ballot one each night for me.. if heng heng strike, den plan to go anot. If didnt strike, means dun need to go at all.
The song Dahlia popped into my mine this morning after i woke up,,maybe it is telling me i should go or i will strike the tixs?! If i go, den go for how long? I plan it to be a darn shoestring trip.
Surprised there were 3 enquires for the gaze's latest single, normal edt. I tot it cant sell. It was a local customer who ordered but went MIA. He didnt turn up for his payment twice and ive smsed him twice, but no avail. Wonder y like tat?! Or only Sporeans will be like tat.
yday had another meet up. The boy was 15mins late and he only sms when he was 10mins late and said "sorry, i will be arriving in 5mins". I didnt have his contact no, so i left after 1omins. 5mins later, den received his sms. Baka siar,,should have the courtesy to inform in advance right? NOT when late liao den inform..late for after 10mins den inform? No courtesy and no common sense! So far, the worst one was another guy..late for 1h15mins! I finished my barangs at bugis den, he met me there. Guess he must be dolling up himself coz he wore full punk attire with make up!!! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Uniquely Singaporean customers!!
Tat gal emailed last night and informed she "got wind" of fans who said can ballot the july's tour tix via Heresy liao. Asked if it is true. I have no idea,,so i awaits supplier's reply. So kanchiong for wat? I more kanchiong about my x japan tickets...hahaha.

ulcer!
Got this ulcer near the lower parts of my lip. I accidently bit that area a few days back,,now the ulcer pops out. Yday morning can feel 2 "inner pimples"growing inside the loop of my left ear. Whenever i felt heaty,,such pimples will grow to serve as some kind of warning?! Drank lots of water yday.
Oh,,vonnie,,so u meant the pillar with ur babies mega posters..i only checked out your blog this morning. It is great to create a vacuum right? When let go liao, become a vacuum for good things. That's wat ive told my 47yo fren..i gave her the same book too. I am happy for your that you've found a course in Japan that you like.
Maki's rosary sold. This customer is happening too,,she always travelled between slovenia/Slovakia? and austria. So, she said send to either address is ok. I read somewhere that Austria is the most beautiful country in Europe.
the GazettE/ Without A Trace - a very nice track!~

Many Lives, Many Masters
This is an exhilarating book, finish reading it yday.
Based on a true story.
This Psychiatrist hypnotise his client Catherine. Catherine said during her trance state that she was reincarnated 86times! She can even describe all her different lives in different BCs. Sometimes, she is a man, sometimes a child, a maid, a pilot etc.
http://www.amazon.com/Many-Lives-Masters-Prominent-Psychiatrist/dp/0671657860
One part was "if you didnt learn your lessons in your previous life, it will be carried forward into your current life."
It is a very mind blowing book.

Just for laughs!
So long didnt visit this site:
http://www.talkingcock.com/html/article.php?sid=2721
Once i passed by a carpark (outside a hawker centre) during lunch time and a lady passenger alighted. She walked to the driver (her friend/colleagues), pointing and said "is that parking space right? i will walk fast there to CHOPE it for you. You take your time!!
Witnessed 2 incidents yday, starring FT (Foreign talents)
1. On the train
this seemly Myammar/ thailand/ Vietnam young couple (?! i dont know what;s their nationality coz i dont understand their language) was seating on the 2 corner seats reserved for handicapped/elderly/pregnant woman. An old couple came in and the old man looks frail with his wife holding his arms, supporting him. They stand right in front of this couple. The train was getting packed and suddenly, i heard a firm and loud voice "Can you pls give up this seat for this man?". I watched diagonally and saw it was a lady (early 40's, with her 2 primary kids) "ordering" the woman to give up her seat. The woman quickly stand up and pass her bag to her boyfriend. Wah, the lady was soo gung-ho!! I think the Myammar etc couple might not be aware that all 2 corner seas are reserved for people with special neats.
(Incidently, on my way home, while waiting for a customer to pick up her stuffs at a train station. Saw a pair of old Chinese (fm China) Grandparents, with their grandson on the stroller. Their grandson was eating ICE-CREAM when they enter the gantry. The security guard was soo KU-KU, he told them that no eating was allowed. So, the grandparents said they will stand aside and ask the kid to quickly finish up his ice cream BUT that security guard said "no, no need,ur may go ahead,,just to remind your tat next time cannot eat inside the station." HUH? like tat also can???? Met them and board the same train and same door as them. They rushed in like nobody;s biz and the stroller hit a man's leg as the grandmother was chionging for the seats with her grandson. The man looked awe and shook his head. Maybe they had been influenced by our local's kiasu-ism. My Brunei's 2 customers marvelled and laugh when they witness Singaporeans rushing in immediately when the train door opened. They even took many pictures about it. It was SOOO Embarassing!)
2. After alighting at cityhall yday,,went up the long escalator. Dont know why i looked behind me and guess wat? A Chinese (China) woman (early 20's) was happily sipping her diet coke (black canned) with a straw on the way up the escalator!
Salute to "Foreign Talents"
Think was yday that our MM said Singapore's landscape/culture will change within the next 15yrs because of the hugh immigration influx. Ive already seen afew lately..imagine by the next 15yrs?
Ive started to think if i want to be here in the next 10years. It seems like a yuckie place by then,,
We have no sound economy plans..only rely on EXPORTS to other countries. Like tat die liao,,if Singaporeans want to retire and suay suay kena Recession, then you are on your own.
Dear Vonnie,
That girl and her bf wants to go to the gaze's july tour (last 3 days). The bf emailed to ask when can buy the tickets and signed off and him and Sharon. Finally, "tat girl"'s name came to light. That guy was polite in the mail, so i know he;s the one who sent the mail. Good,,less 2 fans to fight the sept tix with you..hahaha..Btw, for the july tour, seems most of the venues are very small,,,at those huay guan aka community centres's hall.

Dear Vonnie,
That girl and her bf wants to go to the gaze's july tour (last 3 days). The bf emailed to ask when can buy the tickets and signed off and him and Sharon. Finally, "tat girl"'s name came to light. That guy was polite in the mail, so i know he;s the one who sent the mail. Good,,less 2 fans to fight the sept tix with you..hahaha..Btw, for the july tour, seems most of the venues are very small,,,at those huay guan aka community centres's hall.

What is the name of this fruit?
The ever curious Momotaro
My Sister-in-law's cousin gave us this fruit today. Her JB relatives grows it outside their terrace house. It has no preservatives and is very sweet.
I only know the hokkien name. The cousin asked me what's the Engrish name for this food. Told her i will find out. Anyone?

exhilarating dream! dreamt i went to gazette's 7th live,,zzz
Dreamt about this on friday nite. The opening of the dream was me facing a row of booths selling gazette's 7th live tour goods But there is no one buying. I was soo surprised! Of coz i want to chiong for it BUT when i opened my wallet, there is only 2x S$50!! How can i come to Japan with only 2pcs of S$50??? I began to panic and the first thing i tot of was to withdraw cash from my credit card. Then, suddenly, i remembered i havent informed my hosts tat im coming to Japan but i came liao!! I was so worried if they dont allow me to stay at their place..i even tot if this was the case, the most i sleep in park coz i have no $$$.
Next scene was teleport to Singapore! I went to the ticketing counter but an Indian guy told me the tickets was sold out liao! I began to look for the touts who are selling the tickets nearby but there were none! Then, a moment later, Gazette was having live concert at my neighbour;s house! The windows were not fully closed, so i can peeped through and see the live. Saw Kai, wah,, he got something like 2 breast on his chest and can bounced when he's playing the drums!~ The place was not fully occupied and i see the fans being able to move freely and do their headbanging thing.
I woke up and was feeling panic because i was bringing only 2x S$50 to Japan,,xia si wo!! If i cant find a place to stay, will go camp at Yusaku's noodle shop...when he knocks off, i go there to sleep,,lolz...
To Vonnie:
the fan who requested for 3 premium tix is from australia,,she went to a gazette's live last year,,i think i saw her coz she went with her cousin. (Saw 2 ang mor girls in the same goods queue as me).
U sure can visit the mountains someday!~ Try not to visit tourist spots (unless u r really interested) when u r in japan,,it's better to explore some ulu places...eg, take train to ulu stations. I tried tat with Shinkansen and at the exit of one particular station (near Takayama), when i exit, i saw a middle road and infront of this road, there are many mountains. The side of the road are some small shops. It is a ulu place and dun have many ppl. Also, ulu places tend to sell things, esp food at cheaper rates. I ate 6 big tako balls near one ulu station outside yamanote loop at oni 399yen,i think. It has a long queue,,so i also go and queue (typical singaporean lah!). Hope your upcoming trip is filled with nice fun experiences. Maki is coming back tomorrow after midnite!~~~

Japan's few sacred mountains
Mt Tateyama - my next destination when i go to Japan. Really must visit. Last year i went there BUT the route was closed because the snow was not cleared yet. I was literally pulling out my hair when i saw the notice at the ticketing counter. *hammer chest*
http://www.kansaiscene.com/current/html/feature.shtml
Ive not been to Mt. Fuji despite been to Japan a couple of times. Dont know why, it is a very magnificent mountain (if you take the bullet train, for about 5mins Mt. Fuji is just beside you) but i dont have the urge to visit this mountain.
There's a heresy fan who is interest to buy 3 Premium tickets for the 9/5 live at saitama. I dun think can buy so many, perhaps can buy only 1 because the seats are reserved for FC members only.

ugly slippers and rants
received this email in the VS mailbox today. I tot it was a spam mail..
Err,,looks kinda ugly and cheapo.. looks like S$3 quality...
http://vintage-loves.weebly.com/
Yday was telling my sister-in-law about our elections coming. During the 2006 election, the ruling party used "lift upgrading" as carrot. This time round, it is -10% economy output to scare us into voting for them.
Last few days my mum saw the news about Sands hiring 800ppl. I quoted her a scenario. Eg, at foodcourt, hawker centres, retail and restaurants and sbs bus drivers, the companies hired foreigners (at lower wages) But did they sell you their things/svs at cheaper rates? No, the money they saved from hiring foreigners went into the pocket of these companies.
Our MM said many countries are tightening their immigration laws but not Singapore. We are still opening our doors. Target is 6.5million, now is 4.8million. Still got 1.7 million to go!!
http://scientific-child-prodigy.blogspot.com/2009/03/living-in-overpopulated-world.html
"I think the ONLY thinking the government appears to have done on migration is two fold: first, keep the proportion of one race high; second increase the population base to increase the revenue base. That is it" --> The blogger said this. It is soooo true!!
Went to my sister-in-law's cousin's house last night. It was a 4room flat. 1 room belongs to her cousin (a couple + 2 children, 12 and 14yo respectively), 1 room for the cousin's Malaysian relatives (3 adults) and 1 room is for a PRC couple (both 24yo, just got PR, registered marriage in singapore). It was an overwhelmed sight. They housed 5 foreigners!
Yday the ranking of the World's most expensive cities. Singapore ranked no. 10. If one day Singapore ranked top 5, i would prefer to live in Osaka, since by then, not much difference in cost of living.
Till then, i can be like the little boy boy i met on last sat. He was 15mins late and i asked him "where did u come from?". He immediately said "Singapore!". I controlled my laughter and replied "of coz lah,,i mean which area u come from". He said "Yishun".
I will remember this boy boy's initial answer when i move to Osaka..LOLZ

bizzare!
Was at Orchard mrt waiting for the train and witnessed an extremely bizzare thing. A china aunty (40+) walked passed me, holding an almost finished ICE-CREAM CONE! My unbelieveable eyes just kept staring at the ice-cream cone as she continued walking. After walking for about 10 steps, the aunty put the balance cone into her mouth. A minute later, the train came. OMG, ice-cream cone inside the station?! It was about 3.30pm, off peak period. Wonder what was our mrt staffs doing? What if the aunty was carrying a bomb?!
Something less bizarre,,,,a local mei mei asked if the A9's discotheque tee is BLACK. HUH? The picture showed BLUE.... i cant believe sporeans would ask such questions...unless she is seriously colour blind...
What a bizarre day!

David Hartanto Widjaja - the truth?
So many points showed that our local media is (or might be?) is doing the cover up of the truth. Makes me wonder if it is the professor who pushed david down the building.

Beans and bean sprouts
was awaken by my mum's reasoning with the 10yo boy. The boy insisted that his green bean plant is going to harvest into more green beans. My mum said "no, it will turn into bean sprouts only." He said "no, im sure it will give me more green beans, so i can repeat the cycle and plant more and more to get more free green beans!"
He brought his plant and showed it to Momotaro. My sis was here and he said proudly "this is my plant and it will turn into green beans!". My sister was silent,,hahaha.
It is good that the boy insists on his logic, until one day,,he'll realised his plant cant produce green beans afterall. During this period, he is hopeful. It is a plain innocent thought and is what a child should have.
Had 2 headaches for this week. The moment i woke up,, my head was hurting. Took 2 strong panadols during those 2 days...dunno y,,ive not had headaches for donkey years. Maybe it's the weather.
My dreams still persist daily. Last night was abt camping with friend and i brought my dog along. In the dream, he pee-ed on my bed....
The P6 girl is not p6 after all. She is sec 1, 13yo...lolz..last night met her again coz she wants to buy miyavi's poster. Luckily she is only 15mins away from my house. She said she saw our site last year (when she was P6) and only this year, she starts to buy..XD So far, have 2 13yo customer. One was in 2006 and now in 2009. Sometimes, i worried if they will kena cheated when they do meet ups coz they are soo young.

Conversation with a 10yo boy
My neighbour's 1oyo boy, wj came and stood at our door this evening, calling "momotaro, momotaro". Momotaro is always excited to hear his voice. This time, wj brought with him a slice of kraft cheese and was hoping to feed it to momotaro. I said "ok, feed him slowly". momotaro swallowed the cheese without much biting coz he loves cheese.
After wj completed the feeding, i said "cheese is good coz it equals to a glass of milk. Which means, u had just fed momotaro a glass of milk!". He looked shocked and replied "oh,,i know, when you put the cheese into a glass of water, it turns to milk right?!". I was amused by his reply. It is great to talk to kids and discover their simple world.
Monchhichi got instore events!~~ I must go to their live events if i happen to be in Japan. Imagine seeing the 2 life size Monchhichi!~ I went hysteric when i saw 2 life size chipmucks at tokyo disneyland a few years ago.
http://www.monchhichi.co.jp/hp/02_news/01.html
Received Father host's email this morning. Quite surprise. He asked if my family and me is ok because there's news report in Japan yday regarding our Merlion kena striked by lightning on last Sat. I emailed him 2 urls pictures of the broken parts. Japanese just cant get enough of our Merlion,,lolz.. Told him that despite being hit by the lightning, it still spills water!~
It is 10.42pm now, the cleaner (bangala) just came by to sweep our corridor. Wonder why he is soo late?? Maybe his company is saving manpower,,so the whole day, he must be sweeping neighbouring blocks...
Recieved 3 mails requesting for A9's latest tour goods,,,,so far no one asked about gaze tour goods...maybe when the listings is out....A9 have soo many items..even have rice crackers!~ (gaze have water). Tohoshinki has rice crackers and candies..i think ayumi has some kind of food before,,,cant remember what is it.

xiao mei mei and xiao di di week
Last week was a xiao mei mei and xiao di di week. Each asked some similar questions
xiao mei mei: is miyavi coming to singapore? i read fm a forum tat he is touring singapore and thailand. Do u sell the tickets? Also, wat is the contents of the PSC 10th anniversary dvd?
xiao di di: i want to buy the psc dvd. So, the meet up is this sat rite? I will be coming to pay. Wat is the contents of the dvd huh? (he want to pay first den ask abt the contents..lolz)
Xiao mei mei was excited about myv and xiao di di was excited about the psc dvd (but not sure wat is the contents). Im surprised about the rumours tat myv is coming to singapore..arent he's busy preparing for his final concert in april?? PSC artistes will come to Spore?!!! *a big HUH?!*
Think only locals will ask such questions. It is hard to imagine coz i always assume our local youths are internet savvy,,,looks like im wrong here... or perhaps these 2 newbies are 2 out of 100 internet un-savvy youths
My niece, Elise Chwa. She was born on 4th Feb. So cute she is ,,,err, big size to..3.5kg...

Momotaro's Photobucket
Momotaro's owner got in touch with my sis today. They wanted to see Momotaro's photos. Thus, had created a photobucket account for Momotaro.
http://s642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/Momotaro2009/?start=0
Momotaro likes to sleep immediately after dinner. It is such a bad habit. Yesterday i hide his pillow after he had his dinner. 10mins later, i saw him lying on the floor (in my room), soundly asleep!! Woah,,he can even sleep without his pillow! He really loves to sleep...so much so tat he cant be bothered with who's at the door at night. He falls into deep sleep from 10pm onwards.. *Sleepyhead Security Guard - failing his duty to guard the door*
Last night i had a dream again (sianzzzzzz). This time, i was working in a shop or restaurant (cant tell coz im at the cashier and back room only). After the shop closed. my colleagues were gathering together discussing about their Europe trip. Told them im not going coz i dun have much interest in Europe. Den, i continued to do the closings. In the end, i was doing OT and they went home on time!~ zzzzzzzzzzzzz *dream ends*
I did pray on Not having any dreams before i slept last night....i shall continue to do so until i temporary dun have dreams. Dun want to be my friend..she never had dreams at all.
The moon is shining so bright tonight. There's 2 layers of rays surrounding the moon. Happy Yuan Xiao Jie!~ My mum said she heard over the radio that it is the roundest and brightest at 2238hrs.

The moon is shining so bright tonight. There's 2 layers of rays surrounding the moon. Happy Yuan Xiao Jie!~ My mum said she heard over the radio that it is the roundest and brightest at 2238hrs.
