do i look like i know eveything? do i look very friendly/approachable/harmless? how come i always got ppl asking me for time or directions to the places they are going?
my week was great! just like what my tarot cards have predicted for me ^^
everything went quite smoothly..
1st of all, our boss took 2 days leave after she came back from the business trip.. so we only get to see her on the last 2 days of the week.. haaha.. oh ya, she bought us a necklace each as a souvenir, while the more senior ones got bracklets.. hahaha.. they are quite pretty ^^
2ndly, my mentor is still on leave, but luckily there isnt any difficult emails/phone calls coming to me.. i wont be so lucky when she officially leaves this company..
the new task that i am supposed to do has been quite a successful one, though there were some hiccups.. thanks to my team mate aka lunch buddy, she has helped me alot!! hehe..
next week is a critical week, my mentor is coming back with only 3 days left for me to learn all the 'remaining ropes' from her. then, i'm going 'out-field' with my supervisor to an expat's house. so excited.. hahaha.. then got this handover thingy.. argh!! overloading soon!
pray hard for a smooth week too!!
*por-bee por-bee* ps: interested in playing tarot cards? hehe.. let me know wor.. keke..
today's a mon, a public holiday, therefore, there is no work today and so there will be no monday blues..
4 more workdays for this week. i am not looking forward to this week at all. becos.... 1) my boss (or rather our boss) is coming back le!! 2) my mentor is on leave till next week. 3) tmr i'm doing a new thing without my mentor's guidance =O 4) 1+2=dangerous week. i scare the boss will throw alot things to me when my mentor is not around to guide me. 5) i think i'm still unable to do everything independently, still need my mentor to guide me on some of the tasks.
think i am going to get tuesday blue, really dreads tmr onwards!! PS: oh ya, is there a color for tuesday? hmmm..
i like this slogan of 五月天 Mayday's latest album [後青春期的詩]
when was the last time i laughed like nobody's business? n when was the last time i cried and felt much more relieved/better after crying? hmmmmm.............................. where is my real happiness? did it happen to me recently or even worse, did it happen at all? hmmmmm..............................
***deep in thoughs***
anyway, here are 2 versions of MVs for 五月天 - 出頭天, their 1st rave taiwanese song for this album..
this is the uncut version, previously was leaked out (some uncivilised ppl from the web, dunno how they get the source), so they have to come out with another version, which is the one below... this MV got some parts from the commerical they shot and some parts from above mv too..
personally, i like the 1st one.. haha.. so funny.. all fighting for the best on-screen position.. haha.. the 5 of them so old liao, still as playful as before.. aiyo.. the mic is cute too! got decor de! but i really envy their friendship!! wonder when i am that old, will i be able to still have fun as i had during teens' time.. *envy - ing*
limping away like a cripple.. my little toe on my left foot got stepped! at tat very instant, the pain was so sharp tat i didnt feel the presence of my toe. i'm so scared tat it will either burst into a pool of blood or detached from my foot. i really can't imagine my toe if the person who stepped on me is a fat person! given now i was only stepped by a lady almost same size as me. the pain at tat very instant is worse than the point of injection or even drawing of blood!!
it all started when i was on the way back home from work. wearing uncovered heels, getting into a squeezy train. there was this lady who was getting ready with her kid n pram to get down at the next stop. so she was standing, facing the direction of train movement. she didn't hold on to anything so when the train jerked, she stepped BACKWARD to balance herself with one of her feet on my pathetic little toe. OUCHHHH!!!! feel like screaming out (not at her) then cos it was super painful! lucky she was not wearing heels. if not i think my bones confirm will break on the spot.
i was at raffles place station when this happened. so for the rest of journey i was standing on my right foot. i winced whenever i shifted my weight to my left. at je, when i limped out from the train to get transferred to another, it's so painful tat i couldn't move but bo bian. i dun wan to stuck down there! (rem i was wearing heels, the pressure exerted was focused on my toes when i stand/walk) so i pushed myself n continued to stand on my right foot till i reached.
i walked home instead of taking bus. cos the distance of walking still end up almost the same. so throughout the walk it was from very painful till unbearable till immune to the pain. a 8mins walk became 15 mins of limping.
when i got home, i saw my toe became so swollen n black. it's not black due to the dirt. it was black because blue black liao. it's so painful to move n check on my toe, let alone to rub away the blue black! T_T
anyway i realised i got 2 unlucky consecutive fridays. zzz..... so suay...... (see prev post)
PS: today my toe has gotten slightly better, still as swollen but not so much of limping when i walk.. maybe because yesterday i applied zam-buk and did some massaging.. haha.. (是痛的lo) but there's new blue-black appearing at the joint area (between my toe and sole)!! how to rub there?? zzz...
boo.. my favourite pair of shoes had finally left me =(
while on the way to meet my friends after work, the whole stupid sole dropped out!! zzz.. i had no choice but to walk as if i had long-short legs (direct translation from chinese..), cos one side got sole, the other doesnt have.. (lucky that was not a pair of high heel shoes.. haha.. if not the movement will be very obvious!)
luckily there are many shops selling shoes nearby.. if not i really have no idea what to do with this awkward situation.. i bought a similar type of shoes (i think is classified as pumps), though i think the price is abit over priced, they are very comfortable to wear.. at least for the rest of the day, they never 'bite' me.. hahaa..
when i got home, i looked at my favourite pair of shoes, thinking whether i should save it again and give it a third chance.. cos i can hardly bear to throw them away.. haiz.. in the end i threw them away, along with the other 2 pairs of white heels shoes.. cos the other 2 pairs are kind of tattered and torn (not comfortable to wear liao)..
now i left with no white shoes for work (if i never include the new shoes that i bought in emergency).. need to hunt for more white heels/shoes le.. hahaha.. hope the other 2 surviving dark colour pairs will still hang on for me!!
on my way home just now.. was listening to the concert version of this song where there's a kid who voiced out the above sentence.. it triggered me into thinking.. thinking hard.. thinking deep..
Have you ever wanna be a spaceman Have you ever wanna be a president yah Or you're still a daydreaming maker Have you ever wanna be wanna be..
如果真能买一个梦。。 你会愿意花钱来买吗?
my dreams.. my childhood dreams.. are they going to come true? am i going to make them come true? the focus is on the latter question.. am i REALLY going to work towards them and make them come true? i guess i MUST make it happen.. but sometimes it's really 心有余儿力不足.. haiz..
this shall be my last post for my whole Hokkaido trip =(
=Hokkaido Day 7: Narita - Singapore=
Time passed so quickly! We had came to the end of the trip. I was so reluctant to go back home, cos I know I will miss here very much when I got back. =( [I am missing it so much now as I am typing now. haiz..]
There was nothing much for this day. Most of the time was spent in the air. We woke up early at 6am (ie 5am SG time) as we need to set off early to catch our flight home. After our breakfast in the restaurant in the hotel, we took the shuttle bus service provided by the hotel to Narita airport, Tokyo. We met a few SIA air steward and stewardess in the lobby while waiting for the bus, they asked us what was nice to tour around here in Tokyo and we directed them to ask our tour guide since our tour main focus was in Hokkaido. haha. What a coincident to see them here. Haha.
Here are some photos taken before setting off:
Views from my room - a big area of forest (This explained why we spent a boring night here. Haha)
Little garden at the back of the hotel
We had our breakfast at the restaurant besides this garden..
As we went home during a non peak period (ie weekday late morning), the Boeing 747 plane qw boarded was quite empty. So we were able to get seats by the window and also able to sit freely at anywhere we want. Hee.
We went to shop at the souvenir shops again after we checked in. But this time, we got limited time to shop since we checked in late.
While at the holding area, we took out our cameras to capture the last few land photos in Japan. Keke.
The sky was quite cloudy. How matching it was with my mood at that time. (Btw, this was not the plane we boarded)
Both my bro and I started to take photos of the view outside the plane as soon as the plane glided up into the sky. The thing is I didn't know he was taking almost the same shot as me since we were sitting alone besides the window, with one taking the front seat and the other at the back. Cool.
His shot (got wide angle function)
Mine (no wide view function). See the difference between one owning a in-between-SLR-and-normal-digital-type of camera and the other who have a quite-outdated-normal-digital camera? Haha.
Goodbye Japan~ *disappointed*
I had a sleep before lunch was served to us. I thought I can survive till lunch time by killing the time with movies, but i was so tired and sleepy. Thus, I killed the time with my beauty sleep. Lol.
My scary just-woke-up pale look =O
Lunch was slightly nicer than the one I had on board on the first day. I had forgotten what was the main dish as I only took down the photo of the dessert that came with the main dish. Haha.
See how blue the sky was during my lunch time! It is so clear and sunny then, to the extend that I need to pull down the panel to shade away the glaring sunlight.
Piggy me went back to sleep after sometime. Haha. So strange, I didn't feel like watching any movies at that time. All I knew is that I was very drowsy for the whole day. Wonder whether it was because I was feeling reluctant to go home even though I already started to miss my comfy bed and pooh bear so much. Hahaha. So contradicting. zzz...
Time for tea break and another photo taking session. Haha.
Ice cream again =.= But this time. it was a more classy brand and there was no sandwich as compared to the first meal on board.
Wonder which country does the land beneath belongs to? Hmmm..
My bro went over to the other side to take this. (Rem i mentioned that this plane was quite empty? Haha) The sky was so different on both sides.
We were very close to landing. Home sweet home~ Hahaha. (ps: see that little plane shadow? so contrasting. haha.)
Here are some of the items we bought. Don't drool =p
The milk sweet is so nice~ chewy type of sweet with full of milky taste. Too bad my mum only bought 1 packet home. The macha muachee is tasty too. It has a thick macha taste with soft melty texture and the red bean isn't too sweet! The rest are not bad too. Haha.
This cheerful looking fortune cate lights up my mood everytime I see it. Haha. My mum set her eyes on this the very moment we stepped into the shop at the holding area in the airport on the way home. Guess it was really fated that it was my mum who bought the very last piece home.
Of cos not forgetting the products from the famous Ishiya 白い恋人 factory. Look at the assorted sizes we bought. Haha. Among them, only 1 box were left for our own consumption. Below is one of thier new seires of product (I assumed). It was some chocolate wafer sticks with different flavours. Quite special taste.
For the bigger sizes, after you peeled off the green wrapper, there is a white box to be removed, and the final packaging is a metal tin box. The Japanese are so particular about packaging! For those smaller sizes, there is only green wrapper and a paper box containing the biscuits. Haha. No wonder the bigger sizes are sold at slightly higher pricing.
These belong to me. Haha. Kinda obvious right? Hello kitty stuff again! Haha. I bought them from the 100yen shop in Sapporo together with other non-hello kitty stuff. Haha.
I really miss Hokkaido very much - the relaxing pace, wonderful weather and kind and freindly people. I want to go Japan!! This shall be my next trip if possible. Haha. Other than Japan, I also want to go Taiwan, Thailan, Korea, Australia and the list goes on.. keke..
