I used to hate packing when I was a lot younger. But who would've guessed that fifteen years later, I'd be this excited about packing and going home! I've been working like a dog this past week just to have ten days of 'holiday' which by the way, includes two days of marketing trip - i've been assigned to meet up with IDP and JMECC education consultants the day after I arrive, and also while i'm in Hong Kong. And I have a strong feeling i'll still be checking my work mail every other day. I can go on and on about this but i realised i am fast becoming a workaholic and two, bigger boss did gave me a generous sum of 'allowance' for my HK trip of which i have to 'bring back the balance!'...word for word. no kidding.
Anyways, i'm exhausted from all the last minute shopping and packing but high from the adrenaline rush. I should be thinking and planning of what to do when I'm back but there aren't many days and honestly, i really feel like doing nothing. I would love an entire day to spend in One U and Ikano, have dinner in The Curve. To visit Chong Hwa and KLPac. To hike FRIM and have Lui Char with Ana and Xiu. To do marketing with mum. I guess that's not nothing after all. Heh heh. But i mean, no shopping. Well, maybe in Daiso...but nothing else.
I'll see you soon Malaysia!

for ana / it's never too late
あけまして おめでと ございます!
it's probably too late to write about Christmas or New Year's on 5th January 2011. i hoped you spent yours well. as for me, i have been working throughout, though i did get Christmas weekend off. hence, most days i am like a rag doll after work, and hence my lack of blogging/doodling.
Christmas and New Year's was pretty quiet this year for me. FF and I spent Christmas weekend doing NOTHING and it was the best Christmas present ever...to be able to do nothing. we spend the entire weekend lounging in his new house...unpacked and unopened boxes scattered in the living room. our main activities were ---> (him) gaming, (me) watching japanese drama, (us) reading ----> (reluctantly) catching a tram to the city to look for food (Melbourne is a zombie town during Xmas, the only place where you would be able to find food is Chinatown) ----> (us) back to doing the activities listed above ----> this part has been censored and removed by the author----> sleep.
and this is my Christmas present...from myself...
as for New Year's...I was invited over to Jessie's place for a potluck dinner. after dinner we played drinking card games and i got knocked out after one round. fell asleep at around 11.40pm...got woken up by Yan at 12am,just in time to open one eye and mutter, "Ha...ppy...New yearrr...' then went back to sleep.
how did you spend your Christmas and New Year?

one of those days

きょしごとは どですか?
... とてもいそがしです が おもしろいです。
最近上班上得精神有点恍惚。 一回到家，什么都不想做，只想看一些不用脑的东西。 早上一醒来，从头到脚，全身发麻。
工作的六日制使我非常珍惜星期天。
。。。。
而这一切只是开始。
工作成这个样子，很不优雅。 看到街上天天血拼的美女们， 悠闲地在我面前晃过。
觉得自己很狼狈。
还是觉得她们会觉得我很狼狈。
说实在的，i don't really care.
。。。
still, it's not that bad. it's just one of those days.

秒速5センチメートル
Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimeters Per Second is a beautiful piece that encapsulates the strong perfectionism and eye for details in Japanese animations. Broken down into three chapters, this feature length animation discusses about teenage love-lorn themes such as separation, unrequited love, helplessness and loneliness. Yes, there is nothing to shout out about the plot. But 5 Centimeters Per Second should be taken for it's artistic beauty and intelligent arrangement and delivery. Each scene is meticulously thought and drawn out as the characters move between time, place, seasons and emotional growth. But beware, it's subtlety and quietness does have a lasting impact as you may feel heavy-hearted at the end of the film.

鸡皮疙瘩
It was raining last night in Melbourne as I witnessed my first thunder storm in Australia.
My room was dark, the only source of light emitting from the laptop perched on my stomach, as I lay down on my bed.
Then the original video for 5 Centimetres per Second's OST came up.
It sent a cold shiver down my spine.
