And they have.... tze char stalls with pretty girls!!! hahahahaha
But I think this is not a japanese creation.
Probably by a local (HK) toy maker or something.

I actually ordered this necklace online.

This wasn't really the colour I wanted at first.
I ordered a remake since the original wasn't available.

Birthday Wishlist!
updated as of 13/11/2007

My birthday is technically still a month away hahaha but Yee Lin suggested putting up a wish list to help others have an idea what to get for me esp for those who plans early.

i feel abit thick skinned doing this hahaha oh well if it helps. on the bright side, i think it's better than wasting ur money on buying me something (if u do) but end up it's not something i'll like/use/appreciate. so this wishlist is to make ur money/efforts worth. hahahaha

1. HOW ABT SENDING ME TO NYC KINOKUNIYA BY NOV (refer to previous entry) TO GET TO SEE MY FAV MANGA ARTIST, TAKEHIKO INOUE, DRAWING UP A MURAL!?!?!?! HUH!? HUH!? (ok lah fine.. this is just wishful thinking on my part.. thought i'll just try my luck)

2. Kinokuniya vouchers. (don't give me any other vouchers. kino is the best. then i can buy comics muahahaha)

3. Metal mailbox saving box (it's around $32+)
I actually saw this today while shopping with gu. It's basically a coin saving bank! hahahaha i liked it quite alot but it's abit too pricey for me. *blinks* saw it in Bugis Junction at one of the push carts, 2nd cart nearest to macdonalds. (keys r to be included with the set)



4. Any handmade items (if you hand-make anything for me it's fine as well)

5. Miniature figurines (those miniature japanese foodies display)

6. Merchandise related to anime e.g. Lucky Star, Ookiku Furikabutte, Yotsuba, Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheido, NANA, Moyashimon, Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!, Mushishi, etc)

7. "Josee, the Tiger and the Fish" DVD. (URL)I've probably been aiming this for the longest time ever.. no to avail. haiz

hmmmmm...... so far I can only think of these much. hah! actually books or wadever cute things also can lah..

O_o"

negligence rots the ground

I've let my guards down..
my mistake.
now i'm hurt once again.

should I harden myself once again.
be critical about everything and just retreat into my own garden of rose letting all the thorns of my garden wall keep the unwanted intruders out?

am i being impatient?
should i've been more understanding?
but i'm so very tired. tired of asking. tired of initiating.

i've become less sensitive over the years.
in other words,
i've numbed myself towards many things.
when i don't expect,
i don't get disappointed.
i protect myself.
then i won't get hurt.

still.. there are lapses.
there are times when i thought it's all right.
to open my heart,
to commit myself into believing wholeheartedly... that when i give someone 100%, that someone can give me back 100%.

i know i'm wrong.
for being naive.

reality gave me a tight slap i guess.
i'm now left confused with a taste of betrayal lingering in my tongue.
was i abandoned once again?
should i hold on to faith and hope and belief that perhaps.. with explaination, all reasons and betrayals could be forgiven?

or should i stand by the principle that wrong is wrong and there's no grey line in this matter?

i wanna know, yet i can't be bothered to find out.
cant be bother to be the one reaching out again.
i don't want to put in effort anymore.

bah.

numbing myself is easier. let's stick to that.

Wedding Bells in the Family

attended my cousin's wedding dinner over the weekend.
it was held in Rasa Sentosa Resort on a saturday evening.

it's not that ez to get there considering the amount of traffic just upon approaching sentosa and when we sorta entered. dad's friend came to pick us up to fetch us there. nice uncle.

i wasn't aware of a hawaiian theme.
i wasn't aware of it being an open concept dinner.
i wasn't aware that food will be served buffet/catering style.

none of us were... actually.

the wise ones then started remarking on the what if(s).

what if it rains?
what if the ants fall from the tree and into the food.
what if ants crawled up our chairs?

if it rains... we kids will grab the plate of beef and head for shelter. bryan will grab the utensils and i'll have kris grab the plates.

best!

anyway, weather turned out quite cooling that night.
being unaware of the theme, i kinda over-dressed.

the beef served was pretty tough to cut through with the knife given to us.
"BRING ME A REAL KNIFE PLS!", cried Bryan.
quite funny.

three of us were trying our might to cut the beef slices into pieces.

the table nearly collapsed i think. my aunt kept asking us to not shake the table.

my cousin is really slim.
now i'm really determined to make sure i maintain a gd figure when my big day comes.

learnt a few 'lessons' after having attended my cousin's wedding.
lotsa things to take note of.
what to do and what NOT to do.

i once considered having it by the riverside.
at least not having our chairs on the grass with ants crawling up. but now i've learnt to take the weather into consideration. music selection must make sense. the photographer we engage is very impt. i've seen quite a few portfolios before, friend's wedding pics and all. now i know what i DONT want, i have to make extra effort to find a photographer whom i like in terms of photography style. i realise i'm pretty particular about this point. nxt impt point is the speech we give during the dinner. i'll make sure i plan a script beforehand. saying the wrong things... have dire consequences.

but of course, saying all these now is still a tad too early.

all i can say is that i'm very very particular about the overall aesthetics and atmosphere. things must match and make sense.

was jokin with my cousin when being asked when's my turn next.

"2 years from now"
"wah planned already ah!?"
"no lah must consider age limit ma. two years better faster get married if not expire liao then u all won't have wedding dinner in restaurants but in the kopitiam."
"LOL"

did i ever tell you i enjoy being with my relatives esp when there's a whole grp of them?

grabbed my cousins for a grp pic.
not all my cousins are in there but haha.. will do.

the wedding gifts were candles.
it runs in the blood i tell you.
esp when suddenly all my auntie and uncles (and my dad) went around taking other ppls' candles (since they left already). my dad even joked and say we can sell them for $1 each. he tried to con my cousin.

"Uncle sell you 1 for $1 lah!!"
(cousin runs away)
"OK lah!! sell you cheap! 50 cents lah!"


my mom somehow managed to link all the paper bags together for dad to carry with just a finger.

in the end he had to carry all the candles home.
one mad daddy i have.
i asked him why take so many back home?
he say it's for me.

wah lau.
