Girlfriends

Girlfriends are like gems in life. Gems that brighten up your day when you are feeling oh, so blue. Gems that shine and accompany you when the journey suddenly becomes dark.

I never really knew how precious they were when I was back in high school. Of course, no doubt I always felt grateful to have such wonderful people in my life , knowing that they are always there for me, and me for them. Breakfasts on weekends, going shopping, gossips throughout the night, giving the people we secretly admired nicknames.

Back then, we were only a ring away. Now, we are a million miles away.

All scattered around the world. One in US, one in UK, one in Malaysia, one here in Japan. Though now, with MSN, we are just a click away. But, it's different. So packed up with exams (though I guess I am the only one now still schooling) and work and all other ridiculous things in life, it is so hard to catch up with each other! How I hope things stayed the way it was. Then maybe now, right this moment, we should be hanging out in bee's spa, spending quality girlfriends' time.

Hmmm. But this is life. If not for the distance in between, I may not have come to realise how important you girls are in my life. Thank you for being in my life.

Love you girls always. *hugssssss*

Am I being Japan-ised?

I always found Japanese girls putting on makeup on the bus or the train something unbelievable. Something that I thought I will never be able to understand. Until today. When I did the same thing myself, while rushing for an interview.

And then I thought. Maybe it's not that strange afterall.

And then I thought again. Uh Oh. Am I being Japan-ised?!

And then I thought againnnnn. If I really am.... is it something bad?

Hmmmmm.. Are you Japan-ised?

Overdue post no. 2? Time for love!

My long overdue post no. 2 was supposed to be about something I cooked weeks ago, something that I no longer remember now and something that definitely has nothing to do with what I am going to say starting from now.

It took me long enough to finally realise that it's not because of how little time I have nowadays that is keeping me away from blogging, but the fact that blogging isn't really at the top of my priority list. I am sure if I loved blogging enough, I wouldn't be chatting away on msn nor would I be spending hours after hours watching SATC on my 17in monitor, and not spending even a minute to sit down and type. But, it proved too, that I really haven't had any time to just sit down, rest and think for the past few weeks.

There were definitely the 'oh, that's too bad..'s when I told people my ski/snowboard trip was cancelled and there's pretty much no more plans left in my 2 weeks winter holiday. But honestly, I was kinda relieved in a way. And it brings me to wonder, maybe it is time to slow down, take a breath, and look around? Afterall, it's the holiday season! Time for family and friends. Time for love!
