アメリカ製食品ワースト２０

アメリカに住んでいた私としては、ちょっと気になる記事を発見！（ＭＳＮより）
もっとも身体に悪いクッキー、ともっとも身体に悪いアイスクリームはよく食べていたぁ～！！！

ううぅぅ。。。
代わりに食べていい物は本買わないといけないのね。。。

明日、本屋さんに見に行こうかな～！
皆さんも身体に採り入れる食品、意識しましょ。

Be healthy!!!!

One sunday afternoon

As I finished laundry and cleaning... I across the street and got tickets of The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. http://www.benjaminbutton.com/
The movie has been nominated to Oscars 2009.
All my friends who watched the movie liked it, but they didn't really tell me what they exactly liked....One even said it is sweet romantic story....

I would say that I don't know if I really liked it....the concept was absolutely really something... but I guess I am not really ready to open for the new way of aging yet.
Maybe I am just avoiding to feel everybody is getting old...

A lot of people say I look younger than my age, but sure I am getting old no matter how I try to be young at heart....
The movie made me face to aging, everyone aging...

This morning, my grand parents gave me a call, the every few weeks weekend call.
It was so early and wake me up, so they didn't talk much and hanged up...
Grand pa is already 81yrs old and grandma should be 77yrs old.
I love them a lot. Really love them....Since I was little...

Geeeeeeeeeee..... I guess I am talking melancholy.

Well, anyway after the movie we walked through the mangrove path and went to Pasir ris beach.
This park is much quieter than East coast park and has a lot of public wooden bench.
We sat on one on the sand by the shore.

Being there to feel nice breeze...

Hours passed, walked to the other side of park.
There was a man playing kite professionally, as I wanted to get my kite in Singapore I started to talk to him.
He called us "Overseas guest" and even let us control his kite string!
He was saying kite can't be a boom for Singaporean, as they like to try new things constantly!
This man has been playing kite for 13 years.
He comes to park to play kite for 3 hours every Sat. and Sun!
Yap, he is serious about playing kite!

Then, we met up with other friend and we ended up to kid's play ground.
We were jumping on the shaky bridge, spinning the big wheel- big laugh and sweat!

After I said good bye to them I went for grocery shopping.
While I was at grocery, I got phone call from Japan.
He is having pain with his body....asking me for some information....
I know how people can be weak especially when they are sick in abroad, I would like to help him....

Oh, I also did finish writing an article to Mr. Hara who gave me a great opportunity to got me into studying abroad and having global sense.

Anyway, I did a lot of thinking this weekend but had also relaxing too :)
Arrrrh, I want one more day off!

Weekend out from Singapore

Comfortable reclining sheet, foot rest, movie screen, food & drink and my good friend... it was certainly easy 4hours bus ride from Singapore to KL :)

"KL is all about food and night life" was said by locals.

Right after we arrived, we went for night snack; Indian nan and tandoori chicken.
There are many restaurants (open air style!) open 24 hours.
Talking with Malaysian, it made me feel that I know them for long time.
They are certainly friendly and funny!

Next day, we slept in and had my life time first Laksa.
Laksa is spicy noodle soup and it's originally from Malaysia.
The one I had was Penang style and so much different from Singapore style.
I thought Laksa supposed to have coconuts milk, and locals said "Darn, it's Singapore style man!"

In the evening, we went to the twin tower!!!
We dressed up and got to the center of the city and had dinner!
Really nice lighting!



After dinner, we went Jazz bar "Alexis".
Female singer was singing more of pop/love songs because of Valentine's day.
When I am at live music, I enjoy watching pianist.
Anyway,I felt people in Malaysia are more lively and acting natural.
People were singing, swinging, socializing...

Next morning at 10:30, I finally found familiar face at coffee beans!
Smiiiiiiile, Huuuuuugs, Gosh!
Finally Sweet Rose was there!

We kept talking and talking ....about ourselves, our mutual friends latest, our favorite Colorado....
We got so many flash backs and very easy to feel the good old time!!!
She mentioned she has a picture of me wearing sari!
I remember that Rose got me green sari and put it on me! - 100% Girls good time!!!

Good time flies fast!

3pm, I was already on the bus coming back to Singapore.

Thank you for Aizawa family who were excellent host!
Thank you Mi-chan, gave me great opportunity and good time!





As arriving Singapore, I felt sad....
Tired and arrived home, my roommate refreshed me with fresh fruits salad!
Jack fruit, grapefruit, apple, grape, Passion fruit, and pineapple!
I don't enjoy cutting fruit, so I really appreciated!

Going to KL, Malaysia

Hi all! TGIF~!!!!

Though I haven't completely got well yet, I am going to Kuala Lumpur for this Valentine's day weekend♪

Last time I was there was about 2 years ago, just for business and didn't get to see anything...
So, this time I hope to see bit more!

Some of you guys should remember, Rose from KL!
Guess what our lovely Rose is back in KL and I will be able to see her!!!!!
Gosh, this would be so cool reunion!!!!!

We graduated at same time, Dec. 2000.
Since then we haven't seen each other... one, two, three...*counting numbers by figures*.......OH MY GOD!
Already it's 2009! Time certainly flies!!!!!

I will get you back to you guys once I get back!
Happy Valentine's Day :D

Calculate the true cost of our job

So many people are losing their jobs...
I am still working for this crazy job market....
Once two years ago, everyone wanted to hire everyone.
Now it's the other way around...

Again, my company are doing another restructuring...
I don't know... who's gonna get the axe.
Whoever gets the axe, we all have to worry and hurt to say good-bye to fellow colleagues...
Not the best time for everyone at all.

Maybe it's good time for us to think what's the true cost of our job.
Are you happy with your job?

Crazy humidity!

You don't imagine how much humidity I get in my room!
Gosh, it is usually more than 70% every time I get home!
CRAAAAAZY!

I really can't stand humidity.
I think that the humidity got me into this flue long-run....

After being sick more than a week, it was easy for me to decide on purchasing dehumidifier!
YES! Now all the water in my room is under controlled by me!

It definitely improved my sleep and gettig me well.
Little bit more and I should be Genki!
Well... when I taste morning coffee good again, that the time I am healthy and happy
:) *smile smile*

Siiiiiiiick

Ugrrrrh, I am catching cooooold!!!!
It has been for long time since I last had cold!

I hate to being sick!
Running nose, sore throat, fever...

mmmmmm... going home now and cook dinner, watch sit-comm ;P

Take good care of yourself all my dear!
