LJ Meme of The Day: Ravenclaw!
Snagged from Mike-kun: 😊
Hmm… from my memory somehow it does seem that Ravenclaw seem to get the least mention in the books. Hmm… probably geeks are less interesting to talk about :p?
I really wanted to be in Grffindor though, but ah well :p.
Nothing much to say about yesterday, just one of those simple days with a good mood :). Nothing much to do at work, so I’m currently reading up the books which is stored in the shelf in my department :).
Bon Odori (And Other Stuff)
First of all, The phone line at home is still not fixed :(. So that pretty much cast me off from the Internet, but then it’s not a bad thing as I have some peace and quiet back home.
Anyway, just a recap of about what happened during the weekend 😊 :
盆踊り (Bon Odori)! 😄
Went to the Bon Odori carnival 2005 on Saturday together with Sook Lan, Eng Lee and Yuan Hui (my colleagues 😊 ), which is held at the open field of Matsushita Sport Centre.
And so it’s like… I went there by Yuan Hui’s car, who is accompanied by her boyfriend and mother at around 5.30pm. They are really nice and friendly, especially her mom. Considering that her mom owns a bakery and my parents are bakers, we do have something in …

Yesterday’s recap:
- Still having some bumpy rides with my work as I’m still learning the in’s and out’s of the job. Still trying to get myself in sync with everything :). (guess that’s what we call “working experience”? :p)
- Won Euromach 1 and The Best of Euromach 2001 from eBay! <3<3<3 The bad news is that it banged my budget (OK, they are really cheap, but my living expenses doesn’t really have much room for me to spend much on entertainment) But I’m so looking forward to receiving them as I fell in love with the mixing of Euromach 1 (when I bought it for my friend) and the tracklist of Best of Euromach 2001 looks very promising (and with a lot of SCP goodness! :D)

Busy As A Bee
“Looking upwards, The trees and the sky.”
Apparently the phone line got loose again and I need to call in the technician again.
Anyway, yesterday’s recap: It’s been a busy day yesterday as I literally running around the office when we got the new PCs set up for our new colleagues :). The office is just full of activity as everyone worked together to get everything up as soon as possible, and just that experience alone is really enjoyable. I really love the cooperative and friendly atmosphere around here, and it really motivates me every single weekday here :).
And so we have 6 spanking new, cool, black-and-silvered coloured HPs in the office, and ooh~ I’m so envious :p. The boss aren’t really fond of them though as he said that “it doesn …

“Hello sunshine!”
Nothing much yesterday except for some minor mood swings and lots of sleep :).
Learnt the para for Red Hot Zip / Dave & Domino and Kill The Silence / Domino, which means that Parapara Paradise 2 mission completed! 😄 Now I just need to perfect the dances and proceed to the third volume (Golden Eurobeat oldies goodness! <3<3<3).
I also dug up my Ayu album collection and read through all the lyrics all over again, savouring all the deep meanings, memories and feelings that I had for each of her self-composed lyrics :).
Then this morning I just feel like taking a lot pictures along the path to work :). And I do have a lot of good shots to share. I’ll post them later :). (Hope the telephone line is working when I reach home 😊 )
Think
Today’s round-up:
-
I went back to my University this morning and settled all the required procedures of my convocation :). So that means that August will be a memorable month for me and my family. Met Xian Yi and his girlfriend today by coincidence and we have lunch together, catch up with a lot of stuff actually and it was fun.
-
I purposely go to Midvalley to get this:
Basically the National Cancer Society Malaysia is holding a cancer awareness and charity campaign which sells designer wristbands (from Topshop) for RM10, and all proceeds will go to this charity in giving education about cancer and support to cancer patients. The wristbands come with four colours with different keywords on them: White for “Think”, Green for “Act”, Red for “Feel” and I can’t seem to …
Minor Stuff
Hmm… not really a bombastic day today, here’s the run down on stuff:
- Boss is out to Singapore today, and at the same time my task on hand is completed. So today is almost like a holiday for most of us in the department today (not as in no work to do, but that our workload is significantly less than what we had in the past few weeks) :). And we have a special lunch today as we go to Ampang (which is like a 20 minutes drive from our office) to have yong tau fu (A humble Chinese delicacy here ;), see note). Hmmm~ Nice 😊 Then most of the time in the office is spent laughing away with a lot of jokes and everything.

Lyrics From The Heart: Endless sorrow
Endless sorrow / 浜崎あゆみ
例えばひとりきりで
何も見えなくなったとして
例えばそれでもまだ
前に進もうとするのなら
ここへ来てこの手を
君にもし翼が
ひとつしかなくても
僕にもし翼が
ひとつしか残ってなくても
例えば信じるもの
何ひとつなくなったとして
例えばそこにはただ
絶望だけが残ったなら
どうかこの祈りを
羽のない天使が
あふれてる時代で
君にもし翼が
残されてなくても
僕にもし翼が
ひとつでも残っているなら
一緒に…一緒に…
English translation:

What if you’re alone
and suddenly become blind,
and what if despite that
you kept walking forward?
Come here, take my hand
If you’ve only got
one wing…
Even if I only have
one wing left…
What if there was
nothing to believe in,
and what if all that’s left
is despair?
Please, hear my prayers
in this era overflowing
with wingless angels.
If you are left
with no wings…
I still have one
wing left, so…
Together… together…
An Unknown Feeling
It’s been months that I have a certain kind of feeling unknown to me… a feeling of certain discord seems to be bugging me for quite some time. I couldn’t really tell the actual reason actually… Is it that the past feelings still has its trace? Or is it that a feeling that get suppressed in me? Or is it that my perfectionism isn’t really tolerating my performance lag…? Or is it a fear towards something…?
Honestly it wasn’t really a big deal that actually bring me any hindrance towards my progress, but… I do wish that I can do something good about it instead of having myself being bothered by it….
Anyway, in a more exciting note, just received my first set of Ayu singles in the mail! 😄 Basically it …

OK! Yesterday’s recap (this is what happens when I get too tired to update my LJ after a tiring day, especially when an aerobics class is being thrown in):
A LOT of drama happen in the office yesterday, which cause most of our colleagues going up and down and running around to solve the matter. For those who is getting worried with the word “drama”, don’t worry, because it doesn’t involve any people but office equipment :p.
Just to elaborate, basically what happened yesterday is that we have to go to the 19th floor (we are currently at the 23rd floor) to loan some PCs for our new colleagues. So during the process we spent almost half a day setting up their PC, settling up some office space issues (no thanks to …
