Merry Christmas From Singapore


♪Merry Christmas from Singapore♪

Every year, orchard road gets to dressed up with all the Christmas illumination. This year they put so many dolls, candies, bears, and ribbons.


Unfortunately, there was no snow or holly silence on Christmas.
I enjoyed making some deserts for Christmas dinner.
Oh, I miss the snowy silent Christmas so much...

Holiday season

I was organizing my room and found a book which has this message written for me;

==========================================
To a very beautiful and precious woman whom I personally took great delight in getting to know at the Airport,

Instead of looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, try looking for the light through out the tunnel.
Life is good and bad experiences, will make you grow stronger.
Yes! You got the power because you have a heart of gold!
===========================================

This time of season, I am sure so many people are using airport.
I got this when I last went to Japan and met this young man at Narita airport.
I was walking and he needed some help and we ended up had some chat till our boarding time.

He was on the way back to NY.
I was on the way back to Singapore.

It's so interesting how people come across each other's life.
Now I hope he is having good time with his dearest mom and 12 brothers and sisters for this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to you all!

水の本

水の本を読んだ。
シンガポールは水を他国から、おもにマレーシアから輸入している。
水道水は飲めるものの、なんだけケミカルっぽく、おいしー!と思うことはない。
人間の体の60%は水。
そう思うとお金を払ってでも、自然のミネラルいっぱいの水を口にしたいと思う。

この本読んだら、なんだか雪降る北海道に行って、
暖炉の前でウイスキーが飲んでみたい気分になった。
ってか、ウイスキー飲めないんだけどね~。はは。

A view from my room



Now I am living on 25th floor, a penthouse.
I have this ocean view :D
Soon, I will have to say good-bye to this view.

Bookstore addiction




Since I was little, I had many books around me.
Every time my mom took me to book store, I got to choose few books for myself. (not manga though!)
On school days, I spent a lot of time in library.
I love the smell of paper, preferably old one.

When I went to Japan last time, I got about 20 books; fiction, non-fiction, cook books, plants books...
Now, I still have to go to book stores here in Singapore.
I can spend so much time (hopefully not much money ;P...hahaha) in book stores.

Last weekend, I got these.
Cute books aren't these?
Would be good Christmas gift!

Exhausted morning

I am really exhausted...
I had feverish dream all night and couldn't get much sleep.
Starbucks coffee doesn't even work this morning.

Well, it's my brother Taka's birthday!
I shall talk to him later!

Lay off

世界中、どこも毎日毎日Economy crisisって。。。
うちの会社も始まっちゃいました。。。
やばいなぁ。
