japan tour 06

finally my blog is alive again!!! first on the list will be the japan trip i went with my parents sometime in mid may.

we visited 3 states in japan, osaka, kyoto and tokyo. i am definitely not going to talk about my 7 days at japan in details because i cant rmb everything for heaven sake. so here are the highlights!

first stop was the universal studio. i heard there is one at usa but i am not too usre which is better. however, one thing i am sure is the place was impressive. the terminator 3 ride, ET adventure, the spider man ride which scared my parents out of their wits, the thrilling water world performance, the family jaw ride and the night peter pan performance by the bay. all the rides play on something called fantasy. the place made me want to be with the characters. flying in the air and fighting with captain hook along with peter pan and maintaining law and order in new york city with spiderman. i want to go back there!!!

japan has another theme park which cannot be missed. it is the disneyland theme park. the only disappointment was the castle was under renovation so i could catch a glimpse on how beautiful it is. this time round, there were not many action heros in disneyland as compared to universal studio. it plays on your imagination. space mountain ride brought me to the star glaxary, the parade relived my childhood dreams, the luxary steam train and boat ride made me feel like a rich girl, the haunted mansion was peanuts and more more MORE!!! despite disneyland having many rides, the best attraction was the parade - moving on! the costumes the participants put on cheered me up. being able to look at my childhood playmates, the cindrella, alice in the wonderland face to face was a dream come true.

i missed these 2 theme parks although all the instructions were given in japanese. quite sad. but i want to go back and have fun again. let me appeal to all my dear friends out there. let's start saving now and go japan again!

i took a hot spring bath too. the feeling was wonderful. i seriously felt much better after the dip. the aches and tiredness from all the travelling were miraculously gone. how i hope there is one in spore. just let me live in my dreams for a few seconds can you?

yesyes!!!! i ate a lot of jap food there. i did not really enjoy the meals because i am not a fan of jap food to start with. i always have horrible experience after eating jap food. it is either food poisoning or stomache or feels bloated or vomitting. i was not spared this time round too. i had no idea what happened. i am confident that i do NOT suffer from motion sickness. however, i felt like puking after sitting a close to 6 hours of bus ride. the moment i got off the coach and went into the hotel room, i dashed into the toilet. and guess what, i vomitted. i took some pills and thought everything would be fine but i was naive. i did eat much for my dinner and after an hour since i vomitted, i did it again!!!! my stomach was practically empty and i could not stand it anymore. i forgo the shopping trip after the dinner and went up to the room to rest. while resting on the bed, i vomitted again. damn! i seriously dont know what was wrong with my digestive system that day.

my family extended our stay at japan to visit my mum's ex japanese colleague. she had just given birth to a healthy and heavy little boy. her family was very friendly and accomdating towards us. although we could not speak each other's language, we were able to understand each other and enjoy our stay there. i just recieved a gift from them. it is a most wanted item i want to lay my hands on it. haha... it is the japan jersey. yeah!!! although the sleeves are a little long for me, i am never going to give that to my brother. yes! i am a selfish pig.

so much about japan, let;s get back to spore.

i am finally unemployed. strange isnt? but anyway, i will be available and free most of my time. so what did i learn from this job? well, my job duties were pretty dumb and stupid, even a kid can manage. anyway, the great company made each of my working day did not seem like a dreadful day for me. communcation is very important to avoid unncessary misunderstandings and conflicts. i still find myself a rather biased person. first impression counts for me and sometimes i will use that to judge someone whom i am not close with. so just beware of me.

my taiwan trip is up next.

back

i am BACK!

HOLIDAYS!

i have not prepared anything yet. bags are unpacked although i have taken out the clothes and placed them nicely on my sister's bed only. the bags are lying around in the room, making the room looks so much smaller than before. instructions from my parents are not carried out yet. no list has been made yet. oops... this is so unlike me! all i know is that a long and well deserved break is awaiting for me. yeah!!!!

judgement day is tomorrow. i have not thought of a foolproof method to break the news to his mum. just wish me luck! i know it is very irresponsible of me to dump me halfway through the journey but it irritates me more when i know his parents and my efforts are not appreciated. so stop wasting your money on me monthly.

happy weekends!

"face challenges with a open mind"

thought provoking

this long weekend had been a blast!

from the previous entry, you should know that i am reading "the rape of nanjing". a few hours ago, i was watching "the pianist", the movie i have been searching for. both based on historical facts. dry? boring? NO! i love all of them. they provoke me to think. if i were in that situation, would i choose to live or die? i could try to fight for any chance of survival even if it required me to beg for mercy from my oppressors. however, would i be happy? i had to bear with the pain of witnessing the death of my countrymen alone and lived in constant fear and insecurity. on the other hand, i could just throw myself to the oppressors to seek an easier way out of misery. just gave me a shot in my head or i would jump off the building.

catching up with friends old and new. staying out late outside has become a once in a blue moon affair. i want more of it because i am getting hook on it.

TV time for the wise karen. =)

it isnt as scary as you think

i felt guilty for not practising my guitar for the past 2 weeks. i am serious about it okay? due to the constant lack of practice, i had to ask pee for help during lesson today. what's A cord? how do i place my left fingers for C cord? this is very bad! a good and diligent student, as usual, i should make good use of this long weekend to catch up with the lessons besides giving tuition. back to my lesson, i played on the electric guitar for my first time today. yeah!!!!! the feeling rocks. my teacher said the whole set costs around 400 bucks, including the electric guitar and the sound system. i am so tempted to get one myself. what's most important is that electric guitar was simply gorgeous. yesyes!!! try new things and dont be afraid of it.

talking about tuition, i kinda regretted my decision to take up the offer now. i am not sure if i am not of the tutor material or he is just unwilling to learn. i will NOT blame him if he attempts the questions and takes his studies more seriously. all i ask for is a positive attitude from him. is it really too much of a request for a primary 4 kid? well, i guess so. when i was at that age, i was not even bothered with my future. so how can i expect him to think in the same frequency as me now when i am almost twice his age? i shall wait till tomorrow and decide on my next step.

i cannot and do not want my brain to corrode even before my new school begins. it's time to catch the reading fever again. currently, i am hooked onto this book "the rape of nanking". the interest in history is here again! i wanted to get my hands on it since upper secondary. however, it never happens because i was too lazy to search for it in the library and no time to read. haha... excuses. anyway, i was glad pee bought that book a few months ago. i fully understand why the words could not get into her brain when she read it because she was a geo student. next up will be the other 3 books lying on my sister's bed and tuesday with morrie which is still with one of my colleagues.

april is ending and may is coming. yeah! happy month. i will be slacking around soon so just hang in there. i love this feeling when i know my well-deserved break is coming soon. i will be able to lead my ideal slacking life before a mad rush begins in a couple of months' time. having brunch almost everyday, asking friends out (provided i have the financial ability), drinking coffee at a cafe while reading a book, swimming, practising my guitar diligently and etc. see! i just cant wait for everything to come true.

finally, an entry not about work. =)

"love myself more"

complete or incomplete

people are always searching for something in life. it can be true close friends, love and warmth for family, success or even a simple break from work. during this process, they may have gained valuable experiences or lost their values. i am not interested with the process but why the conquest for it?

it gives them a sense of accomplishment because without it, they find that they have not tried their best in life yet. we all want to live a life with no regrets so why not get have a go and see how things work out right? it brings pride and honour not only to the achiever and also to everyone surrounding him. imagine the perfect picture of you being surrounded by thousands of reporters, voice recorders, cameras and lights which are eager to capture your moment and relatives and friends, from far and near, showering you with well wishes, hoping to share your glamour. however does it really make you feel complete?

i have been searching for the something for the past few years after i have become sensible. i dont know what is it that i ought to have or do in order to live my life with no regrets. after knowing more people from wider age range and different backgrounds, i start to feel sad for them and myself. behind all the hard work they have put in, they have sarcificed an equal or more in life. their families and friends maybe grumbling but they hold on tight to what they want in life and continue to fight on. as for myself, i cannot say i have achieved much as compared to them. i still cannot support myself financially and one thing for sure is my parents are still protecting me from danger. so independence is definitely out of the picture! i feel so tiny standing beside them. however, i want it to motivate me further. i want to make a name for myself after i officially graduated from school in the industry i will be working in the future. this could be the something i am seeking.

"knowing myself better hurts"

how should i be

i used to believe that target setting motivates people to strive and excel. it provides direction so i will not be lost along my way. it gives me the sense of satisfaction if i manage to achieve my targets. i will spend every single minute with a purpose because i know that i have to prepare myself and get working towards what i want. since it has advantages, it puzzles me why this belief has been shaken? to put it simply, my job is to hit the daily target set by my boss. we all are anxious to finish the whole project as soon as possible in our fastest possible speed. in the midst of anxiety, people started to turn ugly. people are more concerned with hitting their own individual targets than teamwork. everyone is getting stressed out and tensed when we see the work piling up everyday. the higher it goes, the stronger the desire to finish them. somehow we have forgotten to be sensitive to our environment. rude comments were made but that dont bother me much. however the lack of compromise and understanding among us is getting on my nerves sometimes. luckily my anger only lasted for a few moments in the room and i have not blew up yet.

it has been a long time since i felt this amount of fear in me. i may have sounded calm but the truth is, my hands were shaking when i made the call. i knew at that time nobody would help me. true enough nobody offered their help despite i looking damn helpless except for this guy. in the end i rejected his help. i was all alone with her in my arms. i knew i cant let her go. fortunately, everything is fine now and i am glad she is recovering and receiving professional treatment. please be a good girl and recover soon ok? although this incident only lasted for a night, i left a deep impact on me. it reassures me how important a friend she is to me. she is so involved in my life that she is like one of my family members. my family knows her very well and never fails to ask about her occassionally.

next week is another busy week for me. happy working!!

"treasure before it is gone"

a new addition

let's call the new addition a it. initially we thought it is going to share our burden. instead, it is getting on our nerves sometimes and making us giggle and laugh non stop. the longer it is going to stay, the faster our eyeballs will be out of our sockets. it has become our MUST-talk-about-daily-topic. it is our new source of gossip. i am not being mean here but when all of us agree, it just means there is something wrong with it.

let's this long weekend be a short break off the hectic lifestyle i have.

stop these illusions

i hate those who are unable to keep their promises. dont make empty ones if you think you do NOT have the ability to complete them. do you know how significant they can be to the receivers? the receivers may be working their guts out to make the promise come true but at the very last minute, you destroy every single thread of hope they have been clinging onto. giving them hope and crashing them in front of them. stabbing into their hearts and allowing them to bleed to death. what a wonderful world!

why on earth are humans so soft hearted? why cant we be firm for once and put a stop to everything? what's the point of dragging it on and on forever? make our stands clear. no means no. which part of the sentence do you not understand?

why cant we be more caring and considerate beings? we are supposed to be more superior than animals because we have the ability to think and feel. my opinion has been shaken. if so, why cant we understand the pain and suffering one has to go through? why cant we understand that enduring the unfriendly stares and pain within ourselves is unbearable?

i hate my anger. i hate myself for losing control over my emotions. however, i hate those who caused me to hate myself more. just get out of my life. you deserve no sympathy from me.

it has been the friendship week for me recently. have been meeting up with different groups of friends almost everyday. i appreciate them and love them all as usual. sorry for the sudden paragraph on my friends. i am not in the right mindset now. i am not thinking. i just hope for a better life if reincarnation does exist.

it is all about values

i have learnt through the hard way the importance and value of money. it is not THE everything but i cant deny that it is a mean to an end. without cash, i have very limited things to do. i cant enjoy myself during weekends after sloughing myself 6 days at work. i have to self psycho myself that shopping will kill me further. i need to force simple lunch down my throat for a few days. i must consider and re consider before i make a decision just to spend that miserable 10 cents. what a life!

i felt guilty for once. i dont regret my decision but after hearing sad true stories on how other people fight to make their hungry stomaches full each day, i feel like slapping myself. i have almost everything within reach and i lead a comfortable life. instead of treasuring what i have now, i have totally no regrets for anything which i own now. will i only learn how to treasure when i lose it?

i have been thinking a lot these few days when i was resting at work. life is made up of sacrifices. i cant be a greedy person and want to have everything all at once. i will gain some and lose some along the way. it all has to depend on my priorities to see which are the things i want to hold on tight. sometimes, it is not up to me to decide what i want although i believe that i choose the way i want to live my life. principles and freedom always clash. i know deep in my heart how much i want to get out of the whole damn thing but something at the back of my head is telling me that i cant be an irresponsible person. i cant help it but to agree to it. it is just not me to have someone to clear up the mess i have created. i should take pride and responsibilities in anything that is given to me. i want to follow it through from the start till the end. is it a foolish decision? is it worthwhile? i cant be bothered with all these doubts from myself and the people around me. all i know is i will stand by my principles. it is hard to change my values overnight.

it has created a lot of problems for both my family and friends. i am sorry about that. i know how much i have neglected you but i need to follow it through. let this be a discovery journey for me to know how far i can stretch. let me be a better person out of it. i understand the distance between us is growing apart but just bear with me. i seek your patience and understanding in my decision. i shall not whine or grumble anymore. i have made a decision so be it. happy or sad, it is all up to me how i want to live each day.

"inspect what you expect"

march is ending soon

the dreadful march, because of the endless working days, is coming to an end soon. YES YES! it's time for me to countdown again. however, april is not a good month either. it is a month to slunge lke nobody business. in total, i have 7 birthdays to celebrate and 7 different birthday gifts to buy. to make things worse, i cant be stingy with the presents because they are either my family members or friends whom i can click with very well. big headache again! how am i supposed to save lots of money for my dream shopping trip before the school term starts?

what should i get for my dad? i used to be in charge of the cake and my brother will settle the dinner. cake again? boring. furthermore, the options that i have are very limited and unoriginal. as i was walking home a few hours ago, i thought why dont i bake a cake for him instead. haha.... it's time to show off my limited cooking skills. yes, tiramisu cake!!!!! i have been longing to learn how to bake the cake but i always miss the opportunity to learn. i shall succeed this time round.

how about sister? argH!!! i am clueless. quick, i want that good friday holiday to be here soon. i have made plans with the fat and ugly jiefang to haunt for my sister's present. hurry hurry!!!!

resting at home and slacking my day away is something i wish to happen once in a blue moon. it is a blessing in disguise that i am having a headache now. =)

"hang on"

touch me and i shall EXPLODE!

i am in such a foul mood now that anything on earth is going to irritate the hell out of me. first at work and now at home. what the hell! today is an ANTI-KAREN day. everyone is against me and thinking of one hundred and one methods to make me bleed to death for all they care.

the day did NOT start well since morning. i was pissed at the traffic light at the junction near suntec city.the bus could only cross to the other side of the road after 3 red lights. to make things worse, i was LATE for work. imagine the anxiety in me and the hatred for the traffic light growing with every second. i was close to pulling my hair and asking the bus driver to clash into the other cars to cross to the other side.

when i reached the damn depressing room, i saw this paper on my table and my partner was drawing lines on it while sorting files. she told me we are supposed to keep track of how mnay files each of us can do per day because THEY want to check on our productivity. fine, watever and pray hard that the chinese character "zheng" will NOT haunt me later in my sleep.

bad news always arrives when it is close to knocking off time. my dearest boss, despite notbeing able to come to work, she checks on us by calling. should i praise technology or not? she is a committed leader because she is thinking about work when she is supposed to rest at home. for that, i respect her. she has been thinking and thinking of many ways to improve our productivity and speed so that we are able to finish the project by april. however, no matter what numbers she punches into her poor calculator, it refuses to show the number nine thousand. it shows that we are unable to complete everything by the end of april when my contract ends. so how? THEY have no intention to extent the damn contract so they have to push us. WE ARE WORKING AT OUR MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SPEED. what more do they want? i am no a robot. how am i supposed to complete unrealistic goals? i have my own committments. i have my own set of priorities. and i still find it unreasonable for me to pay for a mistake which i did not commit initially. am i not being sensible here? NO!

i had to wait close to 15 minutes for my bus on my way home with a stomach groaning away. do u know how unbearable is to be endure hunger for me? it is close to killing me slowly.

since the day is ending soon, i thought maybe things will take for a change. BUT, my dearest MSN has to give me even more problems. i keep signing out of MSN after i am signed in for a few secons. i dont know why. i followed goi's instructions and went to repair my MSN at the control panel, hoping that everything would be fine but the stubborn msn refused to be repaired. i am damn angry that i uninstall the programme and it is taking donkey years to re install all thanks to my lousy and slow internet connection which my dad refuses to upgrade. CRAP! amazing, i am still able to chat with some people on msn although i cant find anymore msn files in my hard disk. in the past, there is always this window popping out saying i am signed in in another computer. HUH? i only have a PC at home. how on earth does the other PC come into the picture?

summary for the day: crap, lousy, shitty, pissed.

"leave me alone"

work or play

when is the line drew between work and play? it is unqiue to each individual. i cannot force mine on you and you cannot force me to change mine too. that's why i refuse toexplain when friends are asking not to work too hard and too much. we all have our own priorities and i guess we share different opinions.

i truly admire those who have mastered that skill, especially successful married career women with kids in the family. i am not trying to be biased but we women tend to be more emotional. for me, when i am tied down with commitments, i will not put my own interests in the first place anymore. i will think more for the other party ( it sounds like a silly thing to do but it is just like that for me). how am i supposed to juggle work and play? should i be with my kid when he/she is still a toddler? if yes, how about my career and my free time? i do not have the intentions to stop working when i have settled down. i want to work till i cannot work anymore maybe in my seventies or so.

working is taking a lot of my time now, leaving me with limited time spent with my family and friends. my dinner time has been pushed back to close to 9pm due to work. the only time slot i am free for my friends are my pathetic weekends. i only have about 3 hours per day with my parents. see, i am having problems with work and play now. how am i supposed to know how to juggle work and play together?

i am not going to blame anyone for this. i choose to live my life in this way and i have to pay for my decisions. i just learnt something from here. in life, i cannot expect myself to have everything in the world. i need to make sacrifices along the way to grow.

"learn it in the hardest way"

it's all about yourself

it's hard for me to find time to rest now, but i dont regret. i have to pay a price for every decision i have made. since i have planned to live my life in this way, i should stick through and through to it and no think about the "what if" anymore. it serves no purpose except to bring misery to my life.

it's all about the mindset. i just have to encourage myself to keep going and it does not feel that painful anymore. stay optimistic and dont let it affect me too much. is it the environment that affects the person or the person who affectd the environment? i want to be the later one. i want to control the pace of my life. i hate it to be pushed around by people or forced to the wall by some unforeseen circumstances. i want to stand up on my own and live the life i want to be in.

play at work. that's what i have learnt at FISH tales. dont just work and work the whole day long. it just makes my work boring and dull. inject some life into work. wait a minute! i am not trying to promote gossiping at work but just PLAY at work. i was playing along with one of my colleages at work today and time seemed to pass faster. YEAH! obviously i need to find a playing partner at work first.

i am so damn broke that i feel like crying now. i heard a piece of good news today. woon has got into the TOOP 100 round. woohoo!!! all the way girl! sing your heart out. =) another thing taht is worth celebrating for is i have half way through march alrdy, which means i have 2 more weeks before i get my march pay. be patient.

"self control"

if only everyone is a stranger to me

i wonder if it is good to have nobody who knows me well. everyone will be a stranger to me. they dont know the true me. they wont be able to guess my next action or thought. so there will always be a sense of suspense. i dont have to bother about how i should behave in front of them and what i should talk about. they wont bother about a small fry like me who is insignifcant in their lives. i wont troubled myself with inter connections with everyone i know. i wont be afriad that words will spread and the news will be distorted. i dont have to be the ms nice, ms cool, ms friendly or ms whatever anymore. i just have to learn how to be karen. just some random thoughts.

"find your true self"

workaholic i am

karen is CRAZY!!

i cant help it but to keep myself going. i cant stand or sit still and slack my day away. i hate it when i have nothing to do. i dont like to stare in space. i want my mind and body to be moving at every single second. i dont need any leisure or personal time. i do not want to waste my time. i love deadlines. i want to overload myself with responsibilities. i like to keep myself busy. i just want to do and do and continue doing.

these are signs of maddness. it is a once in a lifetime holiday before i step into the working society. i should be enjoying my holidays and not overworking myself and ends up being underpaid. i am not short of cash although i had made a expensive purchase just yesterday. people around me have been asking me to rest more and take care. no worries! i wont collapse and die at the next moment. maybe workaholic can be my second occupation

"choose with your eyes open"

many thinkings to do

everything is confirmed and it is pointless to look back and think. now, what's most important is my future. what do i visualise myself being as? what is my interests? will i be able to cope with the course? is it practical in Singapore society? there are so many doubts to clear and i feel like a lost sheep.

i always have interest in chem eng. it started in sec4 when my chem tutor was telling us a lot of stuff about chem eng, like the job scope, the high starting pay and how can the chem eng apply the chem concepts at work. it may sound boring to some but i like it. i want to pursue my interest because i believe that interest and passion are the driving force to work for the rest of my life after graduation. so i have been telling myself to follow my interests more than my brain because i am the person who allows my head to rule my heart.

after deciding on the course, how about the school? how can i judge each school on? i am currently not a student of any local universities. it is hard for me to decide which school is the better one without myself experiencing the school life myself. ask my seniors? that is a possible way to find out but different people adapt differently to the same environment. consult my tutors? yes, that's what i am going to do tmr and i hope it will be a fruitful trip. =) check on the schools' web and attend their open house? i cant make myself to believe everything i read and see at the open house. no school will be in the right mind to condemn itself on a website. some part of me feel that open house is just for show. it does not really showcase the true life of a student from that school to a large extent.

i need time to sit down and think about it but i cannot squeeze time out for myself. i am really very busy because of work now. besides working at my current working place, i took up a tuition assignment near my house. my first session is on this wednesday and i hope everything will be fine. my tutee will be a nice little kid and the parents are loving, caring and understanding. furthermore, i had started my first guitar class with QIFEI and mr moo on last saturday. everything is going fine except that i have trouble using my 4th finger for the fingering. my 4th fingers are the weakest link and i need to apply a certain amount of strength in order to produce a sound when i pluck. am i just a busy person? sometimes i wonder if i am asking for trouble? i could be contented with my current job and not take up any tuition assignments until my contract ends. i can learn my guitar at a later age since music has no age limits. if i am just working at my current workplace only, will i be a happier person with more time to think and feel the people around me? they are snatching all my precious leisure time away from me. dont worry, i dont feel depressed or pessimistic from such a hectic life. at least i know that i am spending every single second of my life with worth. hope i wont be burnt out before april comes.

"everything comes with a price to pay"

the temperature keeps rising

i cant help it but to feel unjustified for myself. i understand the need to push for it but please spare a thought for me. i am not a perm working adult yet. i am still going to further my studies and this is the last longest holidays i will have before i slog for the rest of my life in a few years' time. i am supposed to be enjoying every single moment of my life now and not suffer in pain and agony.

we are humans, not robots. how are we supposed to hit the unrealistic target? we have tried our very best but we are still under the target. how? extra hours? is it really the best solution? i believe our productivity drops drastically after 630pm. we are unable to get sufficient rest and the tiredness snow balls to the next day. so overall, the productivity does not seem to be there anymore.

the worst part is i feel that i am paying for a mistake that i have not committed. there are many external and internal factors, which are inevitable, slowing down the process. so how can you expect us to speed up and handle these factors at the same time? multi tasking? why dont you watch us do everything for a day and maybe you will see the light.

i appear to be very childish because i cant accept the harsh reality of the working life. i understand that hard work pays off but i am not willing to work that hard now. this is not the time for me to start building my career. i am just asking for some fun in my life. i do not want to live a dull and boring life, with only work revolving me. i want to spend time with my family and friends.

i truly admire those successful career women.

"dont be someone you cant be"

after much waiting

yeah!! i know that i am slow but the link is finally up.

why do i have such power

i could not believe myself. i actually survived the day until now with a pathetic 3 hours of sleep last night. i was on the phone with jiefang from 11plus all the way till 430am. we didnt realise that time had passed so fast. how on earth did we maintain to chat for 5 hours? i dont know. i think it is the something between friends that kept the conversation going. i knew we both have to work the next day but i refused to hang up the call. it had been a long time since we last chatted with each other. i would rather sacrifice my beauty sleep than a precious friendship.

that's the beauty of her. i cant hide anything from her because she has known me inside out, left to right and top to bottom. she may hold back her comments on a situation when it happens, but she will tell me about it sooner or later. it is just a matter of time. i appreciate the honesty we have in our friendship. we dont deny our flaws or tell a white lie just to make the other party happy. if there are people around you praising you like nobody business, beware! to me, these people are the most schemeing people on earth. they are like wolves in the sheep's clothing. they dont contribute to your development but destroying your life. like me, many told me that i look fierce. i dont deny that point and i am not planning to do anything to suit anyone. i want to show everyone the real me.

bot our horoscopes are not supposed to be good friends. we should be avoiding each other as much as we can. however, we become best friends. that's another thing i like about her. we seldom agree on anything. we both have different fashion sense so we wont be copycats of each other when we go dating. we hold different views on issues. it has always been her dream to study overseas but i dont see the need to do so in the near future. we have different taste for guys, which is extremely good! we wont be hurting our friendship over a guy which i believe is stupid and childish. at the end of the story, it is always more worthwhile to have one more girlfriend than a boyfriend. i am more of the practical side but she is more of the emotional side. though we are different in our opinions, we never argue over them before. in fact, i find it interesting to know more views on a particular issue. it is much more exciting to have someone to challenge and question your view. it makes life more unpredictable.

the last thing i found out about her is her mouth STINKS!!!!!! we were watching the winter olympic at torino while chatting. the event showing was females figure skating. everytime she said the competitor would fall, she would fall at the next jump. it was not a coincidence. it happened for a totoal of four times that night. so the lesson learnt is never anger her because you wont know what curses she will use behind your back.

" a little effort and you can have it going"
