The LRT, my daily commute to and from my office, is a blessing I can escape from the madness of the city traffic. However, there is a drawback.

Sharing the same commuting facility with the general public, I start to meet the weirdos.

Weirdo No.1
A man, slightly above my age. His love for music was undeniable. With the blasting of his headphones, he shared with us his music. And that’s not all, he bestowed us a performance; singing aloud (in a quiet train) and DANCING as well! You can see that he’s a head-turner. Gained lots of immediate fans. Some, you can see, with smiles twitching from their faces. Some, you can see, were squeezing tight into each other to make more space for his performance. Fans whispered into each others ears, in praise. Or in critic? I’m not sure. But this man made my day a more interesting one!

Weirdo No. 2
A lady, about my age? Tall. Big sized…..plump is a better word to describe. Smartly dressed and looks elegant. A praise I would give her the moment she stepped onto the train.

But the praise was wrongly given, when her rough arms elbowed her way into a vacant seat. Another lady watched in dismay the see her spot taken.

I was deeply unfortunate to have sat right opposite her. It was not a sight to behold, yet not a sight to forget either. Once comfortably seated, the so-called-elegant lady revealed a slight hint of blue between her thighs….. Yes, you’re absolutely correct. With her legs spread, arms crossed, she went straight into a snooze with her mouth opened. I almost imagined saliva would spill from her gaping jaws.

Shaken with trauma, I dug my nose deeper into my book and try to concentrate on the story. Suddenly, the story doesn’t sound too interesting anymore.

I've been....

.....here all along.
Yeap, I am even after 2 months of testing my disappearing act.

.....a bit busy with my full time job recently.
By the time I got home from work, brain goes drained. Kering kontang. I don't even have the tiniest mini might to put some words on this well-neglected blog. So the idiot box filled my time after 9 hours of slogging.

....a bit busy with my second job too.
Had been helping Balance/Pump/And soon-to-be Pilates instructor to cover her classes. Not complaining because I've been missing the Hartamas members a lot.

.....going for Japanese class every Saturday (にほんごのべんきょします - Nihon-go no benkyoshimasu).
It started from a Chicken and Egg story. I want to learn Japanese to understand the Jap movies......or....I wanna watch Jap movies to learn Japanese. Which is which eh? Anyway, it's a bit terbalik that I'm learning Jap prior to improving my Mandarin, because I foresee myself struggling when Kanji comes into the picture.

.....taking the train to work nowadays.
And I got to finish (god knows) how many books in a week as compared to months! I read about elves, humans and dwarves; I read about dumb blondes; I read about magyk; I read about time travelling.........dragons will be coming soon.

.....approached by headhunters for a 5-figure salary job.
I rejected. Stupid is as stupid does but I don't think I'll be happy giving up my life for money.

.....having lots of free expensive lunches.
What to do? It's part of my job....kakakakaka......

Ok ok, time to retreat to hibernation.....zzzz...

おやすみ Oyasumi! (means good nite la)

Heart War (心战)

Can anyone find me this song??? Please please please......

Such a depressing day for me......

...I see flowers, but it's not mine.....

...I see love, but I don't own it....

...I see hugs, but I have to hug myself instead (from the cold)....

....but I've got friends (*smile*).

Managed to get hold of my married friend and will hangout at her place with her baby girl.

My Japanese series craze is back!

My Jap VCD series, although safely hidden from my reach for 5 years, was unearthed in a simple CNY spring cleaning, returning the devil in me. A devilsh obsession; the manic habit of finishing the series in a matter of 2-3 working days or within 1 non-working day.

After indulging in one box series, I'm craving for more and more and more of these series. Die! I even made a mental note to hunt for a new Jap series this Saturday. The unfortunate case of me having a class in Midvalley every Saturday.

As before, a huge side affect of the disease arose; the idolisation of those few Jap actors......

Takeshi Kaneshiro

Japanese by name but more Taiwanese than Jap. Nonetheless, his big Jap hit was in 'God, Please give me more time' with Kyoko Fukada. Soppy show but touching......arrrgghhh....tissue please.

What I like about him? His eyes!! Gorgeous!!! And also, he's multi-lingual. Fluent in Chinese (Of course. He grew up in Taipei) and Japanese (Of course. He's born a Jap.), while English and Cantonese is passable.

Sadly, he's more towards Hong Kong movies but he's absolutedly great in 'Confessions of Pain' and not forgetting 'Red Cliff I & II'.

Yutaka Takenouchi

You should recognise him from 'Beach Boys' but he was much younger back then. I prefer his older look. The picture above was taken in 'Rondo' (2006). Not really a fan of 'Beach Boys', I prefer him in 'Ice World' and 'Rondo'; in both shows he almost got killed. (Laughs.... why do I like to see him killed???)

Fukuyama Masaharu

I only liked one of his shows. But that one show ('Not so Perfect Love') already made me go down on my knees. I like him in comedies because he's got the most adorable smile.

Ok ok, enough of all these......

You can ask Wabbit how I pestered her to help me decide if I want to go CNY visiting to a long-time-no-see ex-colleague's place or watch movie alone on a CNY saturday morning.

I end up deciding the next day to go visiting instead. So I got a red packet plus great chocolate chip cookies. The jar was almost finished when I left, not a fault of mine.

It was in BB30 when I was first introduced to Snow Patrol's orginal version. Although a bit loud and noisy, I still do love to sing along with it.

But now Leona Lewis made it better. Truly touching and mesmerising!

Enjoy!
