Erm......
2 nights ago I was listening to radio (Power 98) before going to sleep and it played this Boyz II Men's old song "I'll make love to you". I was busy doing something else so, didn't really pay attention. I only remember thinking, "Oh, I know this song, must be from my era (means 90s)". And when it reached the chorus, suddenly it strucked me, the lyrics went like this:
I suddenly realized the meaning. I mean, I knew the lyrics back then (probably between 1995-1998 or something), I think at one point we all memorized such boyband song lyrics.
Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask
Chorus:
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I'll do
Chorus
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life
Chorus
OMIGOD, imagined we were all singing this song loudly at one point or another, without realizing the real meaning?!?!
Not that I didn't know English back then, but I guess coz we didn't use English as 1st language, we didn't really think much of the meaning, and thought it's just another love song.
Oh my.......
seriously, grow up!

omigod, this person really needs to grow up.
remember this? it happened again. luckily i was already supposed to be somewhere and this person said would be there. and nearer to the time limit (i was leaving at 9pm), i was already sure the person wasn't coming and NO NEWS at all. I even had the courtesy to inform that I was leaving via SMS.
Until today, NO NEWS from that person.
What a fucker! gosh! you need to grow up!

Japan didn't wow me as much as expected. I think I'm just bored of city.
I mean, Kyoto & Hakone were definitely wonderful for sightseeing but we only spent 1 night each there, and it was raining on the 2nd day when we were in both places! ggrrhh
Tokyo was, well, just a city. Shopping was super duper expensive, trains were very very very crowded.
Osaka was OK.
Food was wonderful though.
Well, I chose Tokyo coz it was the 1st time to Japan and wanted to go to Disneyland and Puroland.
Otherwise, would have chosen Hokkaido (which will be our next destination if we're going to Japan again in future).
Hmm Disneyland failed to wow me as much as expected, too! omigod what's wrong with me.
I mean yes, it was much nicer & bigger than HK's Disneyland, but perhaps coz it was only last year that I went to HK's (which was my 1st ever visit to any Disneyland, and I was really really excited in there), it was still very similar no matter what. Of course there were things not found in HK.
Sanrio Puroland was.. small. too small. I knew this beforehand but still, a lil' bit disappointed. But I would still go once if I could do it all over again. But once is definitely enough.
I feel that Osaka was nicer than Tokyo in a way, shopping was slightly cheaper and different, they had those long lanes of shops side by side and not just another shopping mall, more variety of food, and the people were slightly different too.
Oh btw, this netbook is too slow for me to edit the photos and upload them so, just this post for now.
Oh weather was wonderful though, it was usually around 10°C, of course colder in early morning and evening, and colder when it rained. Hakone was also colder.
♥ it!
OH! again! what suprised me was that Orchard Road's Christmas lights & decor are so much better than Tokyo's! Well, I only saw the ones at Shinjuku and Tokyo Dome, and near Puroland. But they were basically many many many lights put together on trees and surrounding.
Observation of Japan & Japanese people:
Japanese are very very polite.
It's amazing that they can eat and drink in trains and the trains are still VERY clean.
Girls wear very very very short shorts (hot pants?). Yes, even in end of Autumn/beginning of Winter.
However, I almost never see anyone showing any cleavage, they only show legs.
Most of them wear fake eyelashes and eye make-up and colored their hair brown/copper/ash/blond
Indoors are heated too much. It was very tiring taking-off my jacket once I was in a train or a building. But I really couldn't stand wearing thick jacket indoor, specially coz I wear long sleeve shirt inside (which I never ever wear here). And specially coz usually we were just rushing & pushing our luggages haha..
They used a lot a lot of packaging whenever you buy something.
But they were also very eco conscious. You could practically see recycling bins everywhere, usually 1 for glass bottles & cans, 1 for plastics and 1 for others.
And you could see people coming out of trains and stood in front of the bins to sort their rubbish accordingly.
Even budget/cheap hotels were clean.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK so, since clothes, soft toys, etc. were SO expensive, I ended up buying 2 bags & 1 leather wallet.
1 bag & 1 wallet from Agnes B, and 1 bag from burberry blue label.
Of course there were small items like cute lip balm, etc :p
And today I told Orlando, next trip we must go to Europe (Greece! Italy!) or New Zealand (have recently heard lotsa raves about their scenery).

coffee
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 | 2 Comment |
i'm a coffee person and not tea, i only appreciate certain tea if they're slightly higher class (like, hotel-high-tea-kind), i like vanilla tea and also peppermint tea. recently i also kinda like earl grey.
ANYWAY, i never ever order tea at say, starbucks, restaurant, cafe...
i find it such a waste of money to pay for 1 tea bag which cost the same as a pack of tea bags from supermarket.
oh of course i drink green tea and always order them when i eat japanese food. but if there's a cold option, i almost always go for the cold green tea instead.
this just passed my mind coz i didn't have coffee on mon & tue and most prob later neither, coz i had a very bad gastric on sunday and i'm worried it'd come back if i drink acidic beverages
can't imagine if pregnant, can't (shouldn't) drink coffee, how??
i drink 1-2 cups daily...
Prayer request...

Courtesy or obligation?
Monday, November 16, 2009 | 2 Comment |
When A said A would be somewhere at certain timing and didn't show up, isn't it an obligation to tell B? Even if it's on the day itself, or even the next day, it's still better that not informing AT ALL nor apologizing.
It's blindly rude not to.
Even though B already knew A would not show up and even knew that there'd be no news whatsoever.
BLOODY RUDE.
As if A is a 5-year old kid who doesn't understand unspoken social rules

I just DIY my hair color using Liese bubble hair color, chesnut brownActually, Mom bought them. Most probably I would have chosen a different color (cassis berry maybe). Anyway, she decided not to use it and gave to me.
I actually thought the end result would be darker (coz Mom doesn't like light colors), but not really, can see brown color.
And I was worried that it's not even. But it is even :D
Well, I followed the instruction, but bottom half of my hair was quite (very) light due to previous coloring. So, I was worried that the end result won't look nice (I thought they'd be patches here and there or something).
I did leave on the top half first for like 5 minutes before I continue to the bottom half, then left it for around 25 minutes.
While washing (shampooing) afterwards, my scalp was a lil' itchy but only for a while.
I'm pleased with the result.
It smelled bad at first, typical hair coloring smell. However, the hair color came with a small sachet of hair lotion (leave-in, not rinse-off kind) and it smells lovely :)
It was really easy to apply because it was foams not the typical hair dye.
Almost like shampooing.
And it costs about the same as other hair dye, I think it was S$20?

it's been way TOO long
honestly I don't ♥ this one THAT much (a tad too childish with the cat and i'm not even a cat person - except if it's hello kitty hee hee), but i like the format, exactly what I want (with the comment and all, except no post time, need to figure that out)
anyway...... better than the previously missing pic skin :p
g' nite
