Hi, I Miss You

Future heartbreakers.

:'(

You people should know that I miss you guys. *sob sob*


People judge me when I hang out with you people. But they don't know you. And they don't know how you all have been kind to me, supportive of me. Screw them, you are above them.


Creeeeeeefy!! Your girlfriend very pretty. Heheh...

Marley & Me The Movie

"Don't judge a book by its cover"

Really? Cos if you ask me, it's total bullshit.

Mid 2007, I bought a book on impulse. And I'm not a book reader, and don't like reading in general. But I bought Marley & Me by John Grogan because of the dog on the cover.



Yeah, yeah... I'm a sucker for muka kesian puppies.

And then I began brainwashing people to read the book as well. Ringo took the bait, she liked it. Lisa also took the bait, she liked it too.

How to say this. It's one of those books you can read over and over without skipping a chapter.

[Well, maybe the part where Marley passes away, I'm too chicken to read that twice]

Then I went and bought another book with a dog on the cover again. Bad Dogs Have More Fun also by John Grogan.

Simply because, anyone who can write about the life of a dog and describe in detail how it has enriched and influenced the life of a family deserves that much credit. True enough, I found myself hooked.



This book is a compilation of articles written by John Grogan over the years. I fell in love with a few articles.

There was one about a baby girl who contracted meningitis that left her brain-damaged. But her family loved her all the same, even if she was 55 years old and had never spoken a word or returned a smile, blind and paralyzed. And no matter what, her family loves her as a gift who taught them unconditional love and compassion.

Another one about how smokers were not only polluting our lungs but inconsiderately flicking their ciggie butts out the window. Here, there were quite a few sarcastic (and extremely funny, and true) parts which made me laugh. And I totally agree with him.

Another story was about a tow-truck driver who guided an utter stranger to the hospital during and emergency, which saved her life. I like how the tow-truck driver said he was liked and disliked. Liked by the people whom he had saved from being in the middle of nowhere after a breakdown, and people who were in a car accident. Disliked by the people whose cars were parked illegally that he towed.

And now they're making a movie of Marley & Me!

Can you hear my excitement? I'm almost convinced I'm causing an earthquake somewhere jumping up and down. Maybe soil corrosion at the very least.



This puppy much chubbier than the one on the book cover. But definitely just as cute. Sorry, soft spot for doggies.

Starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston. I don't particularly like any of these people, but guess what! McSteamy is in the movie also!! I this as a keh leh feh only, but what the heck?! Here, let me refresh your memory?



Muahaha, McSteamy!! Whose body is a gift from the gods!

And also the dog.

I am so watching this movie. Because of McSteamy - OMG hot hot hot Marley the dog.



Edit: Tell me you didn't laugh when the dog was walking on the road with his hind legs in the car.

Japan: Asakusa

This post is long due. More than 1 year ago wtf.



In the fehmes Asakusa temple, there was this stretch of shops selling small souvenirs, candies and religious items. And it was super crowded with mostly tourists.







And heading towards the temple itself, there was another 'pintu gerbang'. Three more hugeass lanterns.



There was a pagoda next to the temple.



And right outside the temple, there was this cauldron-looking thing with burning incense inside it. The smoke is supposed to be for good fortune and to cure sicknesses in general. Personally, it was just choking me.

People were just reaching out to touch the smoke and touch themselves wherever they wanted to cure.



Behind it was a fountain. Apparently it's safe for drinking and has healing effects.

[WTF, everything in a temple has healing effects, what, magic ah?]



And I had dry chapped lips from all the temperature change of MAS-JPN-MAS-JPN. So I went to get my lips healed also. -.-

Water was super cold, it was autumn at that time. Very refreshing, if nothing else. Lips didn't recover though.







Later that night, I went to Yoyogi and one of the shopping malls had their exterior lights in a Christmas theme. Very pretty! Can see the little green pine tree icons.



And everywhere I went there were Christmas decorations! Quite amazing, since Japan's religion is mostly Buddhism.



My favorite Christmas decoration was the one in Takashimaya. It was a Christmas tree made of Teddy bears. There was one on every floor. All 12 floors of the store. The one on the ground floor at the Concourse area was at least 2-storey tall.





And finally, one more to remember the season by.

This was autumn in Harajuku.



P/S: God, I miss Japan. When, when, when... will I be able to go back and relive the best time of my life? : (

PP/S: Singapore again tomorrow till the 20th. Will mommy miss me?

PPP/S: Will be meeting Li-Yen there too! : )

Mommy So Farhny

Mom: I think my power increased. Hold near cannot see, hold far only can see.
Me: That's because you're 'lou fa' (long-sighted)
Mom: What is 'lou fa'? Old flower?

-_-

WTF Dot dot dot.
