Saturday came and went.

For those who came, thanks for coming! Hope you guys enjoyed the food and company! I had a great time =)

(Especially after watching ManU beat Tottenham 5-2 muahahahaha!)

Best birthday present ever.

In other news,

I have been promoted!

To lab tech. HAHA.

Anyway I've been busying myself doing stuff in the lab these few days, never knew it was that fun to conduct experiments and keep track of the results, especially if you don't know whether it'll succeed or not. SPA was horrible back then.

Driver -> Factory worker -> Lab tech. Upgrade! *ding ding*

twenty-one.

What's the big deal with turning 21, I wonder?

Besides being able to watch R21 movies. And besides, you could probably download R21 movies, watch PG shows without "guidance", NC16 shows by acting "mature" and M18 movies with your older brother's IC, all when you were just 12. Did I mention you could just download them all/watch online?


An excuse to hold a huge party that you never had?

A reason to finally go out there and have some fun (and use the excuse "But I'm 21 liao!")?

A coming-of-age when you finally get to "Be a Man!" (and do the right thing)?

Or just another milestone reached in life? I don't suppose many people go around shouting "Hey! I survived to see my 21st birthday!"

Which is quite sobering considering those who don't make it.


I don't feel that old.

FMA 2 : Brotherhood

Yes you read it right!

For all you anime fans who've got enough of Bleach and Naruto (you mean they're still running? @.@), this is one reason to rejoice!

Edward Elric is back!

Especially so since the 1st series ended like 4 years ago =,=

The story is supposed to be totally different from the previous one, and an adaptation of the manga, so I guess we can expect more interesting content! Something to satisfy the hunger for FMA while waiting for the next installment of the manga (its taking ages for it to get published)

Only grouse so far (as commented by various people) is the change of voice-actors (seiyuu), although the brothers still remain the same.

Plus the opening song pwns! "again" by YUI.

Its been ages since I last watched anime. Time to relive old days again!

I want to have my Okonomiyaki (and eat it, too!)

And so he flew away, towards a land full of opportunities, experiences and thrills.

Last Wednesday, I rushed to the airport together with the rest of BTT14 to send Kevin off to Japan where he'll study for the next 5 years.

I couldn't help but watch in envy as he walked through those gates. Another one to live the dream. A dream that I once shared (and I still linger upon), of living on my own in a country which has influenced and enthralled me so much.

And yet I know my place is here.

Perhaps that dream will remain a dream. A dream that I would love to fulfill one day, if only for a few months, and keep it forever in my memories. Heck, I haven't even got the motivation to pick up the language, even though I've always wanted to.

In the meantime, my place is here.

Reading blogs and Facebook updates, looking at pictures of far away, yet remotely familiar places, and genuinely wishing that I was there.

Just for that few, fleeting, online minutes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok I've said it, I will start to learn (basic!) Japanese by the end of this year.

Friends who are reading this, you be my witness. And if you too are interested, drop me a message! Because its so hard to learn something on my own without anyone to practise with.

Hong Yi wa ganbarimasu!

(I hope that was the correct way of expressing it =x)
