Friends

"Am I a good friend?", I asked myself as I read my friends' blogs. And to be truthful the only answer that comes to me is "no". Perhaps its time I do something about it, perhaps I'll sprout a pair of wings and fly away.

I've always found it hard to express myself and connect to people emotionally, I always feel out of place, that I do not belong anywhere. Sometimes I feel out of place even when with my family. Yet I try my best to fit in, to be what others think I am.

Yet sometimes I find that I am not what others want no matter how hard I try, and I wonder whether there is a place where I can fit in, whether I'm going to find myself to be the odd shaped piece which fits no where on the puzzle.

Blogs

I've been reading through some of the my friend's weblog, and I've managed to come to one shocking conclusion. I'm shallow compared to the others. They share their feelings and thoughts whereas I use my blog as a vehicle to propel my own illusion of literary grandeur.

Perhaps its time for me to start putting down my true feelings, my thoughts and my problems? NAH. I prefer to be the shallow and illusioned me.

Birthday Gift.

This photo is from the first week of January. In the picture is my friend Gareth, whose looking at the Birthday gift from YJ, Gage and me. He's staring unbelievably at the "cup" which has so little material, that he has no idea how it can be worn.

Now, wasn't that an interesting gift?

Cat Lover

Was in Pasir Ris last Friday, went to the Water Theme Park there. FUN. But that's not the point of this post.

The lady in the picture above is the person I'm going to talk about. I was just walking towards WhiteSands after an afternoon of playing in the water *grins*. I came across her talking to two men at a busstop just outside WhiteSands, and a cat was eating out of a cardboard box near them.

I overheard her talking about how she cycles around the Pasir Ris Area feeding the stray cats. Isn't it amazing? She has to spend her own money, and she ensures that the place is kept clean. I figure that she must be speaking the truth because there was this big bag of cat food on her bicycle.

How cool is that?

The Sky and more...

Simple life

Today, as i was on my way home, at the MRT station, I saw this cute couple in their thirties, the guy was holding a packet of take-aways. I assume that one or both of them had to work late, but they still waited for one another to have dinner together at home. So sweet.

I yearn for such a simple life, to work for us, to wait for you even if you have to work late, to have dinner together.

And so it begins...

... another semester, another year.

First to get a grouse off my chest. I did not managed to get Japanese 2 this semester, I am so SAD!!! NIHONGO NO LESSON GA ARIMASEN.

Other than that, the timetable is good, life is good, the new year so far is good. :)

Some friends are having problems and I'm worried, but I dunno how to help, it's pretty irritating.

Have been having a lot of Japanese food lately, first i went to eat Ramen at the place Yingkai recommended on new year's eve. Then a few japanese snacks and meals in between. And today I went to this restaurant in Bugis which was having a 50% discount for all their ala carte menu, i wanted to order the soft-shell crabs, but they were out ( shopping most probably ). So I order a Tempura teishoku, and it was nice and satisfying.

Now back to the Ramen, it was fantastic, the soup was nice, ( i had the miso soup base) the noodles were fantastic and the charsiew was great. Salivating just thinking about it. And the dessert was fantastic, James had something called Green Tea ice-cream anmitsu, it was nice, and it was served in a lacquered bowl, it was green tea ice cream with riceballs and a lot of other stuff ( i can only tell you what i saw, since i didn't eat it myself. ) I had the coffee jelly with ice cream, it was delicious, the jelly was nice and springy(?) and mixed with the ice-cream it was great, since the coffee jelly was unsweetened, it went very well with the ice cream. Totemo oiishi.

haha, it seems that i spent the last two paragraph toking about food, bear with me, only one more to go. Today afternoon when i was in Bugis there was this stall from Renaldo Apple strudel there, and they were selling something called a happy stick. Essentially it is cream with a choice of blueberries or strawberries between two crispy confectionary that taste like the strudel crust. And the cream is so nice, with bits of Blueberries in it... MMMMMMMMHHHH....

Hee, next, Thanks for the pouch. And thanks for the swimming trunks. I love both of them. Someone got for me a very nice pouch. and another someone got for me a very nice pair of swimming trunks from addidas. So happy. I also managed to get a pair of nice shoes from hush puppies for 50 bucks, wat a bargain, so happy.

And yah, i just managed to hit lvl 25 for my maplestory character.

Hee, so happy.

Hopefully in tomorrow's round of bidding for modules, i would have managed to get the module i want. * Fingers crossed* wish me luck.
