Not that it reflects my feeling, but the chorus is just so catchy. (ok maybe it reflects my feelings a bit)
nothing much happening recently except that i added matthew sintes on facebook. WAHAHAHA <- is this that 'happening'? anyway he's one of the tap dancers who's show i went to watch. the only guy whom i thought was cute (but i didn't say it here) but too bad he's 1988 de *thud* MUST THERE BE SO MANY 1988 BABIES AROUND?! but ya, so he added me back (cos he adds his fans) and i added him cos miss c said his photos were interesting. LOL!
and both of us were like discussing how scary singaporeans fans are or was it just us (who, being johnnys fans for years, have learn to be damn obedient) who are too conservative. who the hell will go and tag their idol in their photo and then say things like 'i'm trying to hold my heart in place'. WEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII the idol can read desho!?!?!?!?!?! imi wakanneeeee so not-paiseh to let him know? or is it us who are too shy to let our idols know that we like them?! i'm just so speechless LOL. singaporeans fans are really very buey paiseh sia ^^;; so.. does that mean i'm getting abit old for all these? LOL. i wonder how the idol react when he read that LOL.
anyway i think i need some excitement in my life to forget about the fishes. LOL. <- where are all the ikemennnnnnnn. oh well, i guess it's different when you know idols personally. ha ha ha *cold laugh continues*
and instead of flying over to japan, i decided to save the money up to do lasik instead. :D
For some reason, this is repeating in my mind. ok, for obvious reason.
Went out to 'celebrate' RRR's birthday today. LoL. choudo miss c is having her first day off, and choudo it's his birthday. might as well. and i'm free and i'm craving for curry. but the curry disappoint me. *sigh*
suddenly nothing compares to curry + onsen tamago. damn it, i miss matsuya (was that the name) and the curry house in osaka that me and momo went to eat. i think i better cook it myself. onsen tamagoooooooooooooo
went to take purikura too. XD even though supposedly we are 'celebrating' RRR's birthday, in the end i had everyone to accompany me to do the things i wanted (eat curry + purikura) LOL!
kurara popped by yesterday to bake together. hmmm... more like she was listening to my chattering about PF.
LOL. arigatou ne, kurara. for listening to my nonsense highing.
i think whoever is going to meet me for these few days is going to hear me high about them. but ok, i shall stop. if not i won't stop missing them.
they are idols(?) afterall ne.
looking at their blogs just kind of made me feel how unprivileged it is to be a johnnys fan. everything must pay. everything also must follow the rules. yet, in the venue they are always so small. *tired* good and bad though. at least it's easier to get to 'see' them on TV. oh well, when i'm low on them, someone had to come by and 'allowed' me to high them. i'm tabun 90% out of johnnys le bah. lol.
just when i thought that i could finally stopped going to japan and start saving to go hawaii, they had to pop out and i have to 'return' to the land of the rising sun. fate is playing with me huh? i was telling kurara that japan was never part of my plan before i met johnnys. goodness, i dun even think listening to japanese songs was cool before i liked kinki. (apparently some ppl did) but now? i dun even listen to any chinese songs anymore. only japanese songs can be found in my mp3. ha ha ha. maybe once a fangirl, always a fangirl. but well, as a fangirl, at least i learnt things. good or bad, i'll never know. but it's always better to think that everything is good instead of bad. *be positive* well, at least most of the friends i have now is all partly due to johnnys. and i attained a new language. so ok, i shall think of it as good. koichi saved me 3 times afterall ne.
anyway, my plan has always been hawaii! ha.wa.i.i given my 4 trips to japan, i would have been to hawaii long long time ago ne. *ganbaru* if i'm not a johnnys fan, tabun now i'll be damn rich. LOL. *looks at collection*
it's fun to have a crush, but not when they are not around. *low*
nakai's acting was.... -.-;; i cannot say it's bad, but it's too over. and after all the jokes that everyone made, i couldn't really watch the movie in SERIOUS mood. it's supposed to be a sad movie, but.... i keep wanting to laugh when i saw him screaming 'KENBOUUUUU' and his own stupid joke of the movie during the concert, 実は私は貝になりたくないよ～ somewhat kept repeating in my head. idiotttt. lol
anyway afterthoughts. story was in the perspect of a japanese who do not want to fight in a war. when people thought of world war 2, they will think of japanese as a whole wanted to fight and wanting to conquer the world, but this movie is trying to show otherwise. about people who do not want to fight in the war. about HUMANE japanese (ok this sounds wrong, but then again it's correct in a sense)
anyway, spoilers ahead, please skip if u want to watch the movie. the story is about this barber (nakai) who thought he didn't have to enlist in the army cos of his crippled leg but apparently it proved otherwise. and during training in the war, his team was asked to search for an american plane that crashed near the mountains so that they can capture those americans who survived as POW. so they found the americans and because they couldn't communicate with the americans, (and with the order from the most superior saying that 'do whatever is appropriate at that time after u capture them') they decided to kill the POWs. and they chose nakai and his friend to kill the POW because they were the lousiest in the team. but nakai sort of gave up at the end because he had no guts to kill the american (but the american died cos of injuries in the end).
and so the war ended and japan lost the war. nakai thought everything was back in peace so he continued working in his barber shop happily until one day the military police came and captured him on the charge of killing POW during the war. so the trial began and he was sentenced to execution. he tried appealing but didn't work and so in the end he was executed.
something which i thought was nonsense was that why was there a charge when someone killed POWs (americans in this context) during a war? it's a WAR right? after the war still kena charged very ???? the americans charged the japanese for killing their POWs, does that mean that americans didn't kill any of the japanese POWs at all? it's like... unfair. anyway, i dunno la, maybe they really never kill the japanese POWs... even though i dun agree that damn big psychotic criminals who LOVE to kill people can be let off scot free, but then again, it's war... i dun believe there's no angmoh who is NOT psychotic to be happily killing people away...
and during the trial, the americans were like accusing nakai of not refusing to kill the POW, so they treat it as he WANTED to kill the POW out of his own accord. something which i thought ang moh will never understand about asian culture is that they think everyone is like them, want to refuse then can refuse. (bad memories here) given that japan has a rather INFLEXIBLE culture, when the superior say 1, u cannot say 2. so it's either the POW die or nakai die. of cos given a normal situation, nakai (who had a family to go back to) chose to 'kill' the POW instead right? and given that he's already a coward who can't hold a rifle properly, would he even have the guts to say "NO, i'm going to appeal to the court that you make me kill the POW"? impossible. so i think it's damn irritating that they insisted that if he never refused, that would mean that he wanted to kill the POW. it's like putting words in his mouth... it's like forcing you to eat the cake which you dun like, but you ate it anyway (out of courtesy or whatever), but was said to WANT to eat it. ming ming jiu shi kena forced de what....
another thing which i'm quite bu shuang was that when nakama yukie was going around to ask people to sign petition for nakai to appeal for a lighter sentence, a lot of ppl refused because they believe that they ought to die cos they are the black sheep of the country/ to die in honour for the country. diao? black sheep i can understand la... but die in honour for the country?! imi nai....... it won't hurt to sign a name there if you can save a life right???? but of cos there are nice people who tried all sorts of ways to help la...
anyway i was going to scream at the end of the movie because there's totally no relation to the title. until when nakai was hanged and FINALLY he said something in relaton to the title. lol.
storyline was not bad la, just nakai's acting..................... (please stop complaining about sho's acting liao then) LOL.
sometimes i wonder is it cos i dreamt too much that's why my memory is starting to become worse and worse.
anyhow, i dreamt of miya? lol. for some reason, i think her image of liking snowboarding is so deeply etched in my mind that even in the dream she was bringing me to snowboard. LOL! and then we were chased after by some enemy and kimutaku came to rescue us. LOL well, before that he was trying to scare me with some cockroach though... bugs = my tong dian. gahhh.
sigh.. i need money. and i'm so itching to bake. but i can't cos i got no money. GAHHHHH. i need some other ways to relieve 'stress'.
(dun remind me of kinki dvds.) i am so NOT anticipating it. lol.
Work was A BIT faster. that's when f*cked up ppl need to pia the work last min. :) so means more work for me. :) which i really don't mind. beats rolling at home whole day long.
which i dun understand why i always ended up being a translator. i thought i'm supposed to be a customer service officer. HA HA HA. well, i guess when you know a third language, everyone starts to depend on you too much.
Friday
was woken up by an sms to go online almost immediately (despite sleeping late the previous night). that's for home based work huh? thank goodness we dun have webcams. *grateful* if not i wonder how long i have to take to go online. imagine being at home also need to put make up, that's rubbish right? but thank goodness, dun have to.
so i have to hear them talk and talk while staring at the screen. O_O and i forced them to let me out of the house cos ros was waiting for me to eat the swensen buffet with her. it's not fair that i have to standby to wait for them to call me while not getting paid for it. it's supposed to be a flexible job, with the freedom of me wanting to go out whenever i want (of cos if they let me know like one day beforehand that i have to stay around in the house i am ok with it), if not i won't accept this kuku hourly pay which i almost have nothing to do everyday. so ya, i managed to 'force' my way out of the house. making ros wait for me for almost 2 hrs though ^^;; sorry to ros.
the swensens buffet was good though :D luckily ros wasn't unhappy about me being late. the 魅力 about ice creams LOL! but it's so sinful HAHA. but the chocolate truffles cake very nice :9 must learn how to make :D
then i was telling ros how much i regret taking js instead of maths. if not now i'm probably a statiscian! oh well, i can never turn back the time, so accept it and make use of my japanese ... bah. LOL.
Saturday
Went out to Mount E with all the testing kits and everything to do the drug test (required by my company) which they told me that i'm supposed to make an appointment before going. stupid fifi on the phone told me i dun have to make booking lo! tmd waste my time. those fifiS ought to be shot la. waste my time going over. but luckily i managed to 'deposit' all my stuff with my bro at lucky plaza. phew. so thank goodness i dun have to carry the testing kits around for the whole day.
went to meet my cousins next. :D i think the last time i saw them was during my ah ma's birthday in march bah ^^;; so i dunno why i always ended up doing all the arrangement WHEN both of them stay in sengkang. hello?! lol. surprisingly we chatted a lot. (ok i always feel that as ppl grow older, the lesser the topics to talk about. i tend to become more quiet as i grow older i feel) we were supposed to go eat dim sum, but it was raining and we couldn't walk over. so we ended up in thai express. and so qiao the person asked us to sign up for the vip card and the birthday month person will get $15 off. JUST nice my cousins' birthdays are this month. (u see, ming ming they two closer? LOL) sometimes i wonder is it cos my cousins are virgos that's why i'm closer to them compared to other cousins.... (taurus are good friends with virgos)
went to watch gforce next. :D me and my cousin split the cost since the younger one said the mother gave him money to treat us. lol. we actually watched the 3D version (expensiveeeee) quite bimyou? they didn't actually show how cute guinea pigs are (which made me quite upset) the pigs are too ... kakkoii liao. but i like the pun about the MOLE~ and the WORM. lol. but the mole looks a bit er xin though ... ^^;;
Sunday
slept the whole day away. because i was tired from all the activities. and i overspent!!!!!!!! Argh. think of the dvds dvds dvds.
Monday
Even though it's a public holiday, i slept the whole day away again. ha ha ha. what's new right. hidemi loves to sleep. am still trying to adapt to watching one piece without any subtitles... i still dun understand why i can understand bangumis but i cannot understand animes without subtitles. gahh. ok la, maybe i do understand half of the anime afterall. at least i caught all the dajare. oops.
Tuesday
was woken up and forced to go online immediately again. thank goodness i was already half awake. *phew* stoned off halfway during the discussion only to be caught off guard by a question ^^;; so never think i'm always safe even if they cannot see me... ^^;;
went out to clementi to the stupid phoon huat (why can't one of the phoon huat be like walking distance away loooooo) to buy all the ingredients for my mooncake. decided to ask cindi out for lunch at BOTAK JONES. i ate the mini me fish and chips though. SAVE MONEY. lol. even though it wasn't all that cheap anyway. amitaba amitaba.
anyway, hidemi made ice cream :DDDDDD it tasted damn nice. :DDDDDD (ok i haven't eaten the frozen version, but the unfrozen version is damn nice already) no wonder ice cream are damn fattening? so much cream lo omg. but taste damn nice. LOL. XD can't wait to eat it tml :D
Work was slow. Silly me woke up early in the morning to realise that my company is not ready to launch the program and i slept the rest of the day away, with a sudden call in the evening that they wanted a conference call. *duh* so in the end i only worked for 1hr. at the rate i'm going, i'm not even going to hit 500 this month. HA HA HA. talk about the high pay per hour? and 35-40 hrs per week for the first few weeks? just pure crap. conclusion? angmohs work as slow as japanese. but at least they didn't pretend to be hardworking. thank goodness i'm at home slacking away though. but thinking of the miserable pay i feel like crying. i think i can totally give up the idea of going overseas this year.
they better settle my timesheet asap if not i'm going to die next month.
Tuesday
work was a lillll better. as in i work a few more hours compared to monday *duh* still i dun hit 100bucks per day. sometimes i wonder whether i should do things slower to get the money. hah. maybe i should. what's the whole point of doing things so fast only to help them save more money. must be more jian, do slower. hah.
and lucasfilm called me like after one+ month of me submitting my resume. thanks huh. i dun even remember what kind of jobscope i was looking at when i applied. (despite being in tampines, i was kinda interested in the job) so when the person called me and asked me why i was interested in the job, i was going 'uh... actually i dun remember the jobscope anymore'. hello, i dun just apply for one job ok. i only remember they produce FILMS. whatever. guess i blasted the chance, but not as if i can go work for the company cos i'm stuck with this niao bu shen dan temp job. gahhh. (reminder to self: it's to tide me over and let me continue to slack until next year)
but i took up this job because they said it will be at least 35 hrs for the first few weeks. CHEATED. i feel cheated. ok, i shall pray to god and hope there will be more working hours after they launch the program until i dun feel like working anymore. duh.
i NEED the money.
Wednesday
Worse for today, i don't even need to do things because they keep sending me the same stuff that i already have and keep thinking the translated stuff are there. gah. so cos the stuff are not there, i can only throw them back with an email saying it's all not there and that's it. best. bless me for next month. no more buying dvds or singles for the time being.
i need desperately to start an online shop.. perhaps.
on a happier note, after spending like hundreds of dollars on my face, it's finally getting better. YESHHHHH less pimples + smoother skin.
<- after using proactiv AND vichy. ok both very ex ne. for the sake of my face, gotta use it.
and i bought new shampoo and conditioner from hoyu. smells pretty nice and working pretty well too, at least for the past 3 days i've been using it's good. :D
and i shouldn't be spending more money. maybe i should cancel the kinkiyou regular edition first ... and buy it when i have the extra cash huh? (can always dl first :P)
Met up with Joce to pass her stuff. surprisingly we can talk a lot to each other. lol she's not finished with her highing from v6 yet i guess. LOL
then i pia-ed home to 'work' sometimes i seriously wonder, is it just my english that is bad or some ppl just can't get instructions right? or do people even check attachments at all? i mean like, if i said there's a problem with something, normally ppl will check then reply right? not just treat it like nothing is wrong and say nothing is wrong. right? am i just too hima or are they busy until they have no time to even dl the attachements to have a look. even if it's in another language, i guess it's VISIBLE that the words are the same, the charts are the same and there's no difference between ALL the attachments? oh well. guess i expected too much. anyway, doesn't matter, i get money by waiting anyway. *whistles*
did i mention how much i detested timesheets? *recalls kpmg days* i realised when companies and agencies dun come to a consensus point, it's the middleman who suffer. aka ME. the agency said i gotta let them sign the damn timesheet in order to claim my money. but they don't realise that i'm working at home. i dun see the company people everyday u know... how am i supposed to let them sign my timesheet like that? so i told the company that the agency is insistent on it so i requested them to sign all my timesheets. but they told me they wanted something online so that they can check before i send my timesheet over.
so conclusion? i'm the one stuck in the middle la. even though i'm quite sure i will get my money, but baituo dun delay lo. i'm like so broke until i can't feed myself next month so no matter what i need to get my this month pay by hook or by crook by next month. hidemi still got the stupid school loan to payyyyyyyyyyyyy. (not to mention the very expensive kinki dvdsssssssss)
idiots.
Saturday
nabe party at my house. felt like it's CNY? when everyone stepped into my house. LOL! i feel like the mother. ^^;; and i dun understnad why everytime when ppl come my house, it's always so hot. i just keep sweating non stop. somemore eating NABE. :S
but luckily the food i prepared is just nice (but actually got a bit leftover cos i never take out) so everyone managed to finish the food. :D even though at the end we were like tui lai tui qu-ing, but in the end we managed to clear. LOL. even though i think only me, stephie and cindi very high after finishing the food while the rest of them are like zombies. LOL!
watched benjamin buttons. quite a nice movie and quite touching. like what cindi said, it's so amazing how when the young brad pitt came out we were all kyaa-ing away LOL! shuai~~~~~~~~ like last time de nick carter ne. LOL! make up do wonders LOL.
after a while miss jasti fell asleep AGAIN so it was like dinnertime but cos we were all full from the nabe, i told them we should make the lava choco cake instead. and of cos it turned out nice and they helped me cleared most of my truffles too hehe. then miss jasti woke up finally. that woman really loves to sleep in my house lo. baituo i'm not her bf la.
watched stephie's mr lee while we were thinking that we should rent a chalet to play the game LOL. chalets.... maybe some time i should organise some tea gatherings huh. to just have a sinful day to eat all the desserts LOL.
Went for my job training today. realised i suck at listening to ang moh talks. is that why my modules always do so badly? zzzzz cos dunno why when they talk i just keep getting distracted. oh well.... i hope the first few weeks will pass by smoothly... *must remember my keigo*
after training was supposed to go movie with kokkie they all but i ended up not watching the movie cos i wanna come home to make my truffles. had my first beef sandwich in my life. yappari beef is not the meat for me. *pork person* and i suck at eating sandwich cos got a lot of veggies hidemi dun eat. *cold laugh* chat alot with kokkie they all though. cos never meet for very long liao. bbq next to happen in my house (downstairs). haha.
Went to find Jasti to pass her all the mopeng macaroons i made LOL. we were supposed to eat some fish soup but ended up she couldn't find the shop so we ended up eating parklane wanton noodles instead. not too bad though.
Then went to the stupid agency to get my timesheet and stuff. that irritating guy who kept calling me non stop just to ask me when i'm dropping by to collect my stuff. GOU LE MEI YOU. i said within the week right. if i dun go by thursday, that would mean friday i'm going over what. tsk.
Saturday
Went KTV with summer and stephie. Arashi ktv LOL! so as usual sho de parts always i sing la. LOL. but at least other parts not i sing. LOL. if not sing arashi songs alone quite sabishii....
after that we went to orchard central for dinner at mos. seemed to be different from the other branches though. first of all the cups are not the normal paper cups but it become glass cups (which i almost accidentally spilled the drinks) tried the new spicy teriyaki chicken burger (which comes with the free uchiwa) and i got the red one and summer got the green one. LOL
went off to ion to shop around a bit and all thanks to summer's hao jie shao, i bought one pair of red sneakers and a pair of purple flats. (i'm not MJ fan ok) the red sneakers was super cheap though and according to summer she said it's comfy so might as well buy. shopped until the place is almost closed ^^;;
Monday
Met ah mo for lunch to pass her her very belated bday present ^^;;; glad that she likes it though haha. after my silly attempt to stick the rhinestones onto the pouch... i hope it doesn't drop though.
then went to meet miya and ros for ktv (yes again) 2 times within 3 days. I swear the people there recognise me lo. LOL. had fun singing again which we tempted ros to eat potato chips which she wasn't supposed to. LOL! me and ros attempted to destroy gackt's song while miya is in the toilet but she came back suddenly and both of us just laughed out of 'guilt' LOL.
Tuesday
made a mini swiss roll (which i failed) cos it cracked while i was rolling it WITHOUT cream. LOL. i refused to put in cream cos fattening leh.... and also cos i didn't have any whipped cream. HAHA. talk about being spastic. anyway i realised for some reason i stopped eating whipped cream for quite a few years (anyone seen me always digging out the cream and passing over to someone else's plate...). now i somewhat understand why koichi ate crepe without any cream. even though i sort of criticise him 'like that hao chi meh' i realised i turned out like him ^^;; so now i dun even touch crepe unless it's with ice cream instead of cream. so i decided i shouldn't make any more swiss roll unless i'm willing to take in all the fats cream. *blinks*
Wednesday
dad's birthday. actually wanted to make a cake for him BUT suddenly he requested a durian cake. -.- dunno how to make so i went to emicakes to buy instead. but till now we still haven't cut the cake -.-;; nua the whole day away except i finally made my macaroons successfully again. and i finally realised the problem to my mopeng macaroons. not enough icing. -.- yappari the icing is very important ne. no wonder some macaroons taste SOOOOOOOOOO sweet.
The attempt to bake macaroons starts once again. for some reason, this time around all my macaroons all turned out to be mopeng. HOW COME? i swear i did everything the same except that i cut down on the icing. (even after cutting down the icing my mum still complains that it's too sweet. omg) and some of the macaroons ended up very flat. wonder what went wrong. made total of 3 batches all something wrong. *give up* the macaroons insist to become like lee guo huang's face. hai~ no matter how long i put there to let it set, it still refused to set. so i just throw in the oven la. dun tell me it's really cos i cut the icing too much?
i rather eat mopeng macaroons than overly sweet macaroons then.
and i went to visit ah shi on wednesday with the raw caramels and milk tea. she seemed pretty happy that she got 'extra food' to eat though. haha (ppl got chicken pox cannot get out of the house) if not i won't do delivery to her house haha. walked from my house to her house.. took around 30 mins and got shortcut(?) i looked like some foreigner with the brolly and a hand towel though ^^;; sometimes i feel when i'm in singapore, i feel like i'm an outsider. identity crisis. LOL.
so these few days have been trying to master 'the art of baking macaroons' that i have no time to bake my swiss roll. but.. given the amount of sugar i took cos of the 'spoilt' macaroons, i better plan it next week hao le... gotta start exercising again. but damn it, i'm in such good mood recently that my body refused to work out...
anyway if hidemi were to open a bakery, i wonder if anyone will support me? LOL if i ever do that, i think hidemi's bakery will be selling alot of random stuff. LOL. raw caramels... macaroons... raw chocolate.... cheesecake. LOL
anyway, with thanks to miya cos she ordered kinki's phi con dvd, i got a mini arashi brochure for free. LOL.
thing is i didn't notice it when i open up the package until today. haha. so is arashi just trying very hard to tempt me to buy their album? <- but hidemi got no money.
and now that i got absolutely no way to get tickets anymore (unless some kind soul is willing to sell to me) i think i can give up on johnnys finally. *thumbs up* they will still continue to be my eyecandies though :D just that it's time for me to stop flying over cos of them.
Went for yet another interview. so sick of interviews.
i realised, when japanese interview ppl, they talk a lot of crap. it's more like CHATTING rather than interviewing. that japanese guy ended up telling me where he was transferred to blah blah blah. i hope he's not interviewing all the random ppl to get their ideas for new business lo. if not i feel so cheated of my idea.
went to meet miya to pass her her phi dvd and went to meidiya to check out ingredients for my baking. then i realised i dunno what is nama cream. LOL. cos so many different kind of cream. so anyhow buy whipping cream back.
ate at the ramen shop in meidiya too. dunno why they are having so many kurobuta stuff in meidiya... stop reminding me of my kagoshima!!! (sounds like kagoshima is mine)
Tuesday
I dunno why recently i keep waking up so early. anyway the weather was cold and nice to sleep, so i kept falling asleep on the sofa. :P
tried making nama caramel today sort of succeeded? but it was a bit overly soft so i gotta wrap them in plastic film. but it was nice XD then i realised warm nama caramel taste damn nice. someday can have nama caramel fondue.
but had to spend a lot of time in front of the stove to stir and stir and stir. until my hands went a bit red. this kind of time i wished i had electric stove. -.- stupid fire really very strong... but i need to cut down on the sugar more cos it's too sweet. i wonder nama caramel is it good for health though.
next up: SWISS ROLL ~~~~~~~~ and nama chocolate :D i feel so fat.
rained the whole day. -.- but it was still hot. zzzz. singapore weather. but i was glad that i dun have to step out of the house.
Friday
first day of work. @ ion. i realised after not watching shows for quite sometime i couldn't catch what the japanese guy was saying. until he had to ask me whether i understand. nantonaku la. my hearing is already bad enough, then they had to use all those business language. *roll eyes* at least he didn't say things like 'how come u dun understand what i'm saying'.
and for an introvert like hidemi (ok extrovert to ppl hidemi knows), i dun really like to talk to strangers. so actually being a surveyor actually made me have to break that 人見知り barrier inside me to actually approach ppl to help me do surveys (and that bloody survey is super long) it's kind of sad to see ppl walk away with just a lousy postcard (あたしもいらねぇと思うけど） when they didn't get 白い恋人 in the 'lucky draw' so me and ros suggested that he open up all the boxes so that everyone actually get a bit of taste of how the 白い恋人 taste like. i mean, he is there to research on it and 'promote' a bit right. we somewhat managed to hit the target for the day after OT-ing for another half an hour or so. japanese... si si must hit target then can let us go leh. -.-
met a lot of nice people to help us do the LONG survey though (even though they were lured in by the 白い恋人 lol). cos hidemi is the type to just shake head and walk away ^^;; so actually i'm quite grateful despite all the retributional snobbbing by ppl. LOL.
Saturday
Survey again at expo this time around cos of natas. but to ask ppl to fill up the damn surveys while standing up is quite... sweats. heard a lot of sighing and blah. but i felt 100% customer service from myself though. i had to entertain kids while their parents are filling up the survey so that they won't get irritated by the kids and leave halfway. (hidemi dislikes kids btw) i had to 'run' errands for ppl who can't get into the natas fair while they are filling up the survey forms. ^^;; feel like a dog. -.- but i thought since they were nice enough to help me do the LONG LONG survey, i thought i just help them a bit lo. 積福 lol!
despite getting alot of damn irritating snobs, i wasn't really irritated. that's for not working for a long time? maybe. LOL.
miya came to visit us despite the long distance lol. so we went to have dinner with the japanese since he wanted to try singapore food. ordered sambal kangkong, salted egg crabs, frogs, prawns and ??? (forgot already) anyway, it was miya's first time eating frogs though and i forced her to eat the legs (she said looks scary though?) which i think was the easiest to eat for first timer. better than some weird body parts where there are like bits of skin here and there mah. right? and she liked it though. haha. (i ate the rest of the frogs cos i like) and cos the japanese said cos i like ask me to eat more. hohoho.
but i dunno whether is it my sensitivity that i actually heard him call me lim-CHAN. from lim-SAN become lim-CHAN. since when i so shou with him?!?!?!?! not that i actually care la, but he call ros 'an-san' and miya 'adeline-san' SO WHY i have the CHAN? i hope it's just my hearing though -.- or maybe he's drunk. lol.
Sunday
Went back to expo again to work. and i realised that japanese guy really like to take pictures huh? but can he dun on the flash or not. wah lao. all thanks to his flashlight, he バレた that i was doing 'illegal surveys' outside of the hall and i ben lai going to finish my surveys liao but was chased away by the damn security guard. ZZZZZZZZZZ all thanks to him laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. eeyer.
so i went back to the place ros was standing and 'snatch her business' LOL. somewhat managed to finish though but was short of 5 in the end even after one hour of free ot. zzzz. i hope he dun go back and realised that there is some error here and there and we cheated a bit here and there by asking friends to do and we also did our own. LOL.
*heck*
錢到手了，誰管他啦
and ya, me and ros were pretty angry when i was interviewing this uncle and he was holding this cup of coffee and his kid was trying very hard to climb on him like he was a tree. and then he SPILLED coffee on me. -.-;; despite all my efforts to siam him very far already. thank goodness i wasn't scalded or never kena my clothes la. only kena my 'dasai uniform'. heng ah.
and i also got a bit irritated when i was asking a nice lady to help me fill up the survey and the husband was like 'WASTE TIME LA!' damn loudly in front of me. SG GUYS. i would have gladly slapped him on the face lo. but the lady glared at him and ask him to shut up. LOL. *hearts*
anyway, glad everything is over. cos my arms are aching from carrying all the stuff everyday and my legs are breaking from all the standing and walking. (hidemi got back problem ok)
and me and ros went to the food fest. :D bought a lot of stuff cos just got the pay HAHAHAHA. sasuga girls. but i'm glad money for the kinkyou dvds are settled. *grateful* and i need a bit more to pay for my school loan next month. *ganbaru*
Continue to rot and rot. and finally got my butt up from the sofa to bake a cake. my mum was pretty happy though. got cake mah...
Tuesday
Went for second round interview again. *tired* met the people, they asked me a lot of situational questions again. like how would u solve the problem blah blah blah. i always wonder how to answer this kind of questions correctly because usually this kind of thing the first thing that comes to my mind is 'go into the system and check what's going on lo?' how to elaborate? my interview skills sucks gahh. no wonder they have interview classes huh?
a lot of duh questions which i have no idea how they want me to do. like if u meet with a problem and when it's ur company's fault, what should u do? to me, my fault = my fault, so i'll just say and apologise lo? but apparently my thinking is not probably the standard, because i believe some companies will try to push the fault to some other things to avoid compensation etc.
really dunno how to answer this kind of 'dilemma' questions sometimes. but hidemi's belief = being myself. damn sick of all the darlie smiles. my face is damn cramped up. *sulks*
Wednesday
Went to ktv with miya, her friend roslynn, and roslynn's friend samantha. quite interesting. first time i actually sit in the ktv room chatting instead of singing. sam's voice is really very good though *votes for her to go for sg idol* lol.
chatted with miya about a few things. i think the last time we met was in march/april bah. lol
attempted to go lucky plaza to search for my bro, but he wasn't there. *zzzzz* so i went home straight since my feet were aching from the walk.
and yesterday i was telling cindi i lost count of the number of times i actually gave up my seat to people this month. despite not sitting at the priority seat. like duh right. ever since the priority seat thingy started, i avoid seating at that seat and instead sit at the one next to it. BUT, for some reason, when some small kid or elderly come by, the person sitting at the priority seat did not give up his/her seat (despite not being one of the 'prioritised' pple) and instead i was the one who stood up cos THEY PRETEND TO SLEEP. (*^%*@#^&(%&@)(#&%(*#@&^(&%(#) even though i was in heels and my legs are breaking i still stood up and gave them my seat lo. what the.... what's the whole point of the priority seat. dun tell me they didn't see them cos they were right in front of me = right in front of the priority seat. idiots. but i had one conclusion. next time sit further from the priority seat LOL! if so heng, i still kena and end up giving up my seat (ok la it's voluntary anyway), i treat it as fate and as what cindi and me believe in "hao ren you hao bao" ok, give me the 4d number for this sat. lol.
that day i heard a lame joke from tv though.
chowder: why did the meat keep complaining! he's been complaining nonstop... master: because i cooked him in wine.
slack most of the day away. but cos bebe was running out of food, i HAD to go lot1 to replenish the food. but given that hidemi is short of cash and need some exercise, i decided to walk over. in the red hot sun.
being hidemi, i couldn't care less about being auntie anymore. TAKE BROLLY. so ya, i walked all the way to lot 1 with a brolly. :D and i didn't know so many ppl actually cycle in cck. got so many bicycles ring ring at me lo. tsk. but that was this one nice guy who said thanks when he passed by when i left a space for him to pass. so i reckon that it's a good day after all :D
and i dunno whether i look very happy or look very unhappy, the guy at the pet shop actually said 'have a good day!' to me. O_O but i believe it will be a good day la.
went home to try out the cream puffs. puffed up but.. the custard was damn nan chi. :S must find a way to make the 'custard' or the cream. dun want to put whipped cream............
Friday
went for another 'interview' in the morning. not totally an interview though? the agency just wanna meet me and tell me what kind of positions are they sending my resume in for. which only took less than 10 mins. omg and i had to wait in golden shoe for almost an hour for jasti to arrive. lol. so after jasti arrive and finish eating, time to wait for ah ma to arrive. LOL! i feel like some social escort. LOL!
walked around with ah ma and then she went off while i went to find doris to pass her the macaroons. i feel like a macaroons santa. lol been quite some time since i met dordor though. (ok actually only like maybe 2 weeks) talked for a while and she asked me to learn to make this and that and she wants to be my guinea pig. LOL. (no pun intended hoh) well, hidemi only likes to share food that she think is :D:D:D:D:D to her though. my expectations very high ne. (that's why she like to make her own food)
after seeing oneechan's pictures on muffins, maybe i should try making muffins again though. must constantly remind myself to cut back on the servings <- cos no one eat at home.
Saturday
went out early in the morning to travel to bedok to cycle. met clara and went for breakfast at bedok. in the end, we decided to go pasir ris cos clara missed her spiderweb. LOL.
super hot day that day and we were busy rubbing sunblock all over our faces and body. goodness, can singapore weather not be so hot? walked like half of the way to the bike rental kiosk and finally got our bikes. cycled for 2 hours and stopped. cos hidemi is hot and tired from cycling and travelling. <- the result of not exercising for long. drank a lot a lot of water though. feels like i'm back in japan for summer. lol. but the skies were really quite pretty.
ate fish and co express for lunch <- the meaning behind all the exercising has gone. lol. but it was quite nice. nicer than the restaurant i feel. and cheaper too. gah, why they only open one there. i need one in yew tee too. (scully tml i go yew tee have liao lol)
went home and felt feverish though. yappari the sun was too strong. wasn't really tanned, luckily. so it meant that hte sunblock got use la. or maybe cos i was wearing my cap. but now i'm suffering but butt pain and leg muscles aches. <- lousy. oh well, that's why hidemi likes to exercise at night haha.
made macaroons XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD finally succeeded in the 3rd try... no more weird ham taste. LOL. blanched almonds without being toasted taste damn bad. >.< and no more salt so no salty taste. *thumbs up*
next on the list to learn: cream puffs :DDDDDDD
tuesday
i woke up early to go swimming again. but i think i'm not fated to go swimming.
this time around i never forget my goggles ok? but... when i finally walked to the pool... my goggles broke into two. GOT SO HENG OR NOT. why can't it break at home then i dun have to waste $1.50 into the pool mahhhhhhh *angry*
but i was desperate to swim, so i went to their office to borrow tape. LOL imagine myself in swimwear standing near the entrance trying to tape her stupid goggles....... damn dasai. *upset* in the end obviously doesn't work. *gahh* so i ended up in the massage pool again trying to do exercise there. *still upset*
wednesday
woke up bright and early to go for interview (again) this month i very busy ah?
cos i woke up too bright and early i actually reached 30mins earlier. so obviously i never go into their office and went to eat breakfast instead. *yoyuu*
small happening during the interview though <- not my fault. i think there was some errors in the booking of the meeting rooms so halfway through my interview someone chiong-ed in and said she booked the room. O_O
so erm.. we spent some time trying to get a new meeting room. until i forgot what we were talking about...
after that went to the agency to meet the person who intro me the job. *tired* have to travel to so many places. <- actually all at raffles place ^^;; but walking around in heels is torture leh....<- very long never wear heels liao
they like to ask 'how did the interview go?' ah? damn sick of answering this question. in what sense feel like it's bad? quarrel with the interviewer? or? i think it went well la, but cannot let them expect too much. LOL. expectations too high = stress for me.
second interview through phone. didn't know conference call can be so mendou? i mean in the sense of LAGGING. goodness, after i talk 2 seconds later then the opposite party hear. O_O made me a bit scared that they missed out what i said though.
went ok i guess? after a few rounds of interviews i kind of 'found' the answers to their questions. to make it 'perfect'.
and lunch with jasti and cindi. but cos of my breakfast, i didn't eat much during lunch. or was bk not nice anymore? oops.
after lunch was KTVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV <3 <3 it's been such a long time since i stepped into cash i think. even though they updated.. didn't exactly have all the songs i wanna sing. *upset* oh well, better than nothing. in the end we sang more of the old songs though haha. it's nice to go with ppl who doesn't mind me anyhow sing though. LOL. quite paiseh to go with very pro ppl cos i can't really sing songs which i dun really know how to sing.
surprisingly i managed to sing the songs that i didn't know how to sing before. *thumbs up* even though some parts got to hun....
sang all the way to 8pm (without kena chased out) lol but i was hungry and jasti was tired, so me and cindi decided we should go and eat before jasti ended up sleeping in the ktv. lol. fish and co for dinner. XD very long never go and eat liao. and it was having promo so it was pretty cheap. and i dun understand why ppl like to spend their birthdays in fish and co....................
Went SWIMMING~ (?) actually i forgot about my goggles. and being insecure, i can't swim with my eyes closed. <- in the end i only 'swam' for 10mins. can't really remember how to swim liao ^^;;
so in the end i sat in the massage pool for the next 1hr 20mins. LOL!
but at the pool i was quite sweats. there are 5 pools which are opened. got 3 pools occupied by one person each. so i took the 4th pool normally if anyone come will take the last empty pool right? but there are these two cheena aunties who just come into my pool? hello? got another empty one there loooooo. zzzzzz worse is they talk so loud. disturb my peace. -.- so in the end i shifted to another pool myself. <- irritated
and after 'swimming' is eating fishballs. LOL. dun ask me why i have such a strange habit. from young i always have the habit of eating fishballs after a 'swim' somehow it tasted exceptionally nice after that hahahaha
thursday went for an interview and the person taught me how i should answer in the second round. <- can like that play cheat de wor. she seemed to be pretty 'happy' with me though. but didn't know interviews were -that- difficult. was my life too smooth sailing previously? but then again i realised it's so much easier to get a job as a fresh graduate rather than someone who is changing jobs though. at least no need to answer questions like what have u learnt from previous jobs, why u quit blah blah blah. seemed like the answers to those questions had to be 'polished' and put in a roundabout way to show that it's not ur fault to leave the company. even though u actually hated the company A LOT ALOT. lol. and she had an interesting question for me. what have i learnt from all my job experience. one word: tolerance. LOL. cos everything won't go according to our wishes.
went to ion@orchard to shop with LJ cos she said she was bored at home. the place is so bloody big la. anyway it was also my first visit into the LV shop. lol. <- not interested in branded stuff anyway i always thank god that i'm not someone into branded goods. if not johnnys + branded goods, i think i will never have any savings in my entire life. LOL.
dinner at watami which we *coughs* spend a lot. it wasn't that bad but i would still prefer ootoya. <- food is nicer there. but the mango yakult was quite nice hehe. ramen... dun really like. still prefer santouka. XD
friday
went for second interview. damn the stupid application. took me 30 mins to finish cos they actually had questions like 'name a projectwork that you have done in ur curriculum. how did you contribute to the end result' baituo. not everyone had like final year project or whatsoever lo. arts student here <- at most we only do reports what. got a lot of irritating questions also <- because hidemi is not good at promoting herself. didn't want to overpromote myself and lie, in case they expect too much from me and i wasn't able to perform. riskfree person here. *taurus*
the place was at great world city and JUST NICE there's a island creamery there. *screams* so couldn't resist myself and bought the nutella ice cream. HEHEHE. even though i have a lot of ice cream at home......
saturday
dragged clara to come my house so that we could try making french macaroons together. but now i traumatised her to dislike pink color food. LOL!
it wasn't really successful even though the shape was out. and both of us thought it tasted like ham. <- heh? LOL. bimyouly tasted like ham................................. *bangs head on wall* in the end we threw the whole batch away. and so to avoid disappointment to her, i made her take home the macaroons that me and oneechan made <- she likes hahahaha. oh but the chocolate cream part was nice. can be used as fondue ne. LOL
sunday
went out to shop for my mirror. FINALLY GOT MY MIRROR. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
anyway the coincidental thing is i actually saw ah shi in the shop i was in. in such a ulu place still can meet a friend. *claps* so i told her it's heng and i should buy toto and if tio i can treat her eat. LOL. i hope shi can bring me good luck then. XD
time to think of how to design my mirror hohohoho. <- haven't put up though.
for some reason i seemed to be very busy ? it's nice to have the days pass by like that if not for the depleting cash reserves........................................................ i'm really suitable for a taitai life ne. LOL
went out early in the morning to go toa payoh to pray with doris. didn't know there was such a big monastary there... hopefully whatever i pray comes true? but i think gods are still angry at me for being wagamama and quitting my job though -.- or are gods just being nice enough to let me slack long long long? lol
went to oneechan's house next to bake. made macaroons and brownies. thank goodness her mum is a veteran in such things. LOL then we can ask her about all the things we are unsure of LOL. and if not cos oneechan's neighbourhood had the baking materials shop, i think i will never bake anything nutty in my life. <- too difficult to find nuts in ntuc. and so expensive lo lo lo lo.
something went wrong with the macaroons and luckily oneechan's mother was able to save it. LOL. if not we can say goodbye to all the expensive nuts O_O here's the macaroons:
sunday last min kena dragged to ikea early in the morning when i woke up? my parents always think i have no plans everyday until they happily decided without telling me and only letting me know on the day itself. tsk. anyway i had to go cos they were going to choose my mirror. in the end never get any mirror but decided on one tv console and two cd racks in my room. so that would also mean i can finally get rid of that irritating big cupboard that was obstructing my 'passageway' to my bed and always made me knock into it countless times. and i tolerated it for 3 years cos my mum said she wanted it. WHICH suddenly she said in ikea that she wanted to get rid of it long ago. WHO WAS THE ONE WHO SAID SHE WANTED IT. i so badly wanted to demolish it lo tsk.
so after spending 2 hrs demolishing that damn big and heavy cupboard, my room looked like this:
Shot with KC910 at 2009-08-11 empty like anything hhohohohoho. *thumbs up*
monday
went to ikea early in the morning again to get my tv console and cd racks after measuring everything. quickly rushed home to build up the tv console cos i had to meet my japanese friend in the evening for dinner.
my DEAREST DAD refused to help cos he said he was tired and he had to work the next day, so he left all the hard assembling work to me and my mother (initially he asked me to work on it myself the next day lo tsk) after 1 hr of fiddling and trying to get started, we finally built up the first part of the console and all we get was my dad 'wah u all spend 1 hr doing this only ah?' TSK. MEN. if he knows how to do why can't he just help out instead of sitting there and commenting here and there?! then he was like going 'how come u all never see the pictures carefully. got picture still can do wrongly...' damn pek cek already still say this kind of feng liang hua. so i told him back and said 'then i give u one sewing machine and one picture u go and sew la' tsk. MEN.
after we finally finished assembling the tv console, he finally got his butt up to help us drill the hole in the wall to clamp it tight. hate it when people are there trying very hard and the person who knows how to do it dun do it yet stand beside and say feng liang hua lo... TSK.
went off to meet my friend for dinner. thank goodness she didn't request going to the west again and was ok in eating around the area. brought her to makansutra near esplanade and recommend some so-called singaporean food to her. she seemed to like it though thank goodness. but that place is really not that cheap huh :S but all thanks to her friend's phone call and smses (she borrowed his phone) i bet my phone bill next month will go up quite a few dollars. T_T
today
for some reason i got up bright and early <- i think i slept too early the night before. but end up fell asleep in front of the tv again. LOL and for lunch i made this:
and i finally figured out how mos' milk tea is made. so i had quite a few cups of milk tea today.. haaa... and that was baked potatoes with ham and cheese XD taste even better with potato chips. *jia kan tan today*
at night i spend the night trying all sorts of screws on my tv stand <- my mum lost the screws and i had to go buy new ones in the end. luckily yew tee point had homefix shop. hehehe. luckily i remembered.
and so, without the damn big cupboard and with the new console and cd racks, my room looks pretty much spacious now. XD my tv console
my cd racks <- it's 2m tall O_O i feel like i'm selling cds and dvds though
and the spacier corner which can sit 4 ppl if i pushed back my table nearer to my bed. so now friends who come my house can hide in my room for aircon when it's getting too hot. LOL time to make some cushions ne. XD
and i'm going to get rid of the small cupboard tml too <- move to another room. so that would mean my room will become 'emptier' which is good hahha.
and oh, in the end i never buy my mirror. dots. have to 'wait' more again. i wonder i will get my mirror this year or not. *sigh*
went out with xuan today. cos she was going for her lasik eye assessment. seeing her going for it tempts me a bit somehow. cos the thought of waking up and not having to try to find my spectacles is really quite shiawase. and going out without having to put on contact lens is also shiawase. hai~
anyway, so i followed through her procedure (well almost) and learned more about lasik. 'dangerous' somehow but still quite tempting. no specs = love initially we thought she couldn't go for the surgery again, so we went off for dinner. after like 5 mins into our dinner, the clinic assistant called and asked her to go back for a test to see whether she can go for the surgery. within 20 mins.
LOL. so we gobbled down our food. (i was eating pork curry rice) and i have to chop down like two pork chop and the rice within 5 mins. *stuffed* then xuan said this is the first time she actually called for the bill before finishing her food. and xuan treated me to the meal cos she said she caused me to 'suffer indigestion' from gobbling down my food. LOL. this is the first time i sat in a restaurant for only 10 mins. LOL. i somehow 'zhuan dao'? lol.
went back and tested her eyes again and confirmed that she can do the surgery. damn happy la. lol. <- i dunno happy for what. so i'm tagging with her again to the clinic for her surgery *too free* better charge my ipod to the fullest to play while waiting for her though haha. too bad i can't see how the surgery goes.
till now i'm still quite full <- shows that gobbling down the food will make ppl full for quite long lol.
went dinner with clara! XD it's always nice to see her cos our 価値観 is somewhat similar. <3 must be like her to get out of the j fandom. why didn't i idolise a more ulu idol in the first place. maybe easier to get rid sia. -.-
Sat did nothing as usual. went downstairs for my brisk walk and did 8km in total. *new record* but end up with half lame legs home la. 苦笑
today went for walk again but today became a stroll cos my legs pain. oops. end up only walk 2km and go home cos i couldn't find the cat. and the black cat ignore me. *grumbles* usually cats are very gam with me one ok....
went to research on koichi's new dog. guess he bought a dog cos he's allergic to cat fur? (anyhow guess) but anyway he said his mother wanted it? end up how come in his house? (doesn't really like chihuahua) guess i need to research more? <- for what sia. i still prefer cats lo. *grumbles* eyepopping dogs are seriously not my type :S and someone said his PHOTO OF ATTRACTIVE NATURE <- take the initials and it become PAN <- his dog name. so smart ah.
and cos i always treat toma as koichi's son (which also mean toma is my son muahaha), they bu kui are father and son. cos toma's dog's name is jam koichi's dog's name is pan so now i got two dogs, jam and pan. i even thought of serifu for them to become a combi
パンです！ジャムです！ 二匹合わせると、ジャムパンです！
what's with naming the dogs all the food name lo. -.- better than someone *coughs jasti coughs* ask me to name the next dog ichigo then they can be ichigo jam pan................... *shivers*
but maybe he will go on aiba's zoo ah? :D since there's a lot of 騒ぎ over his dog, maybe they will invite him (if he actually got the time to sit through the whole recording that is)
but i still like tsuyoshi's dog better. (but i still prefer cats laaa)
