Bye bye Genki na Layout!
A last entry for this layout! T^T) It’s only after I have a new layout ready to take over, then I realized I’m going to miss this layout alot. It’s so bright and cheerful, isn’t it? Bluey, yellowy and orangey…. Geez~ The more I looked at it, the more I liked it! But what’s to do, there’s something wrong with its html and has already been around for quite some time. Perhaps, perhaps, this layout will make a comeback one day!? I wouldn’t know. ^^
At the reminder of my frequent layout changes…
Rowie>> Don’t you get bored of yours?? 
One Shot: Mistaken Identity ^_^
Even though I’m ignoring him..
He seemed.. happy to be talking to himself….
..What a strange person….
I only learnt..
of his existence half an hour ago,
when he plopped himself down
in the chair opposite me
wearing a big smile on his face.
Like….
he already knew me for many years.
Who have..
ever been hit on
so shamelessly like him..?
Calling a stranger
directly by their name
and started a one-side conversation
gaily by himself…?
I wonder did he even notice..
that..
I’m not replying to him
except for the nods.
To make up for it,
he’s pretty cute.
Underneath that messy broomstick hairstyle of his,
was this baby face...
with a very real smile.
there’s something about
the way he tugged the corners of his mouth..
the sun seemed to appear..
behind him,
filled up the room.. with its warmth.
The glow so true.. and pure.
I probably am exaggerating..
But this..
probably explained
why he was still sitting across me,
and not.. shooed away like a chicken
like I always did..
in similiar situations...
“You are awfully quiet today.
Are you okay?”
He asked, his big puppy eyes
filled with genuine concern.
See..
Here he went again..
acting like my best friend.
But then again..
if he was.. he would know..
I am always this silent
no matter..
i like it.. or not.
“So.. will you be online tonight like usual?”
He continued twiddling with the straw
of his iced coffee,
which he had been abusing..
from the moment he sat down.
This,
sort of.. confirmed the
niggling suspicion I had
at the back of my mind.
For once..
I responded to his endless
questions by
pulling out my notebook
from my bag,
wordlessly..
I wrote,
I think you got the wrong person.
If I had a camera..
I probably would.. snapped
a picture of him
at this very second,
it was.. such a Kodak moment.
his face turned a shade of red
His puppy eyes..
were full of embarrassment.
“Are you xxxxxx?”
He stuttered slowly.
I nodded my head.
A glint of hope..
flashed through his expression.
“This magazine is…”
I need it for my unit project.
“Is your email xxxxxx@yahoo.com?”
Looking at his hopeful face,
I felt almost sorry
for him.
Regretfully..
I could.. only shook my head.
His adorable baby face
turned..
a deeper shade of red..
Giving me
a sheepish grin as
..he ‘erm..’ and ‘err..’
trying to find something to say.
“Shigeaki-san?”
A soft voice called out..
from the seat behind me.
I turned around
to join him in his stare
…to see a girl
smiling awkwardly..
at the both of us.
The same magazine..
which he just enquired about..
was laying in
an obvious spot
on her table.
If I weren’t part.. of this situation,
I would..
have laughed.
It wasn’t everyday..
That anyone met with such incident.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To this date..
Shigeaki still like to talk..
about that day
…. our first meeting….
even though it happened..
such a long time
in the past..
To him..
It was something special
and worth
telling it to our children..
as their bedtime story.
Every now and then..
to my amusement..
a slight hint
..of embarrassment
would appear in his puppy eyes
like that day..
as he re-tells..
The story of.. How
…their papa and mama met.
.The.End.
[Mistaken]
Triple Yeah!!
mOod: Genki!
Happy happy~~ ^____^
Firstly, finally get to do video-conferencing with my mum and dad over MSN, even the window was pretty small, compared to Yahoo Messenger. ^_^ It's the first time I'm doing this, so I was pretty much excited as my parents. At the start while we were staring excitedly at each other and trying to figure why we can't hear each other, my flatmate happened to walked past and just started laughing at me. *sweats* I think I looked funny then, with me wearing the headphones, staring wide-eyed in front of the web-cam, holding the mic close to my mouth while screaming excitedly"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me???" repeatedly at the computer. *maj sweats* It's only a few minutes later of confusion before I found out I plugged the microphone and headphones in the wrong ports. ^_^;;
Even though it's quite exciting but after about 10 minutes, the novelty just wore off. ^^;; That's was pretty quick isn't it?! It was very cool to be able to see my parents over internet (even though most of the time, my dad's head was missing, lolz~), however it was actually quite boring. You can't move too quickly, the screen hanged quite often, so the best is to keep the camera where it is and don't move too much. What's the diff from a still picture if you don't move?! Wanted to take my parents a tour around my room but couldn't but still, my mum had already commented that my room is very messy. ^^;; Lier!! I don't believe she can see that clearly all the way to the back. Keke..
The second matter is.... My mum told me I PASSED my JLPT 4 exam!! Yipees!!! 325/400. That's about 81% Yokatta~! I want to look at the result paper with my own eyes!!! Isn't the feeling of joy so much greater when you get to hold the actual paper in your hand and see the results for yourself?! I has actually hoped that I do better than this.. at least 85% but daijoubu! I'm happy and satisfied with this already!! ^_____^ Must train my listening skills more this year, I'm very sure most of my marks are lost in the listening section. I practically went "Huh?!" and depended on my lucky eraser while doing that section. Target: JLPT 3 in Dec 2005! Hee.. I wonder how Ya, Serene and Sokyee -san fare? They should have passed too! ^^
The last matter to celebrate, I have completed my new layout!! Yea, looking forward to the new layout in 01 March. Two days away~! ^__^ Although there's nothing fancy about it, but I like the picture! It's really very cute and well-drawn. *keeping everyone in suspense* Hmm... I wish I can do the same too! See ba, perhaps one day will buy the software and try to produce a similar looking product! I doubt my patience though. Hee.. Since I can't put it up yet, for now I will admire the new layout as "Preview"~ ^_^
Hmmm... should I create a story blog for myself?? There were alot of very good fan-fics on the net that I enjoyed reading since I became a Johnnys/HOT/Shinhwa's fan. Suddenly in the mood to read a particular fan-fic tonight but the website where I read it in the past (3 years ago) was already gone. I can't find it on other sites too. *sad* So I was thinking should I just copy and paste all the fanfics which I like into a blog itself, so whenever I feel like reading a particular fan-fic again anytime in the future, I know I have it. (?!) Hmmm... let me think about it..
One-Shot: Takizawa Hideaki
I'm bored.*****
"I have really enjoyed myself these three days. Thanks for bringing me to the onsen." Makoto Imai tugged gently at her boyfriend’s fingers, playing with it.
"Do you still remember how we met?" She sighed, settling more comfortably into Takizawa Hideaki’s embrace, her back to him.
"You threw yourself into my path. Literally." A twinkle came into Takki’s eyes as he recalled the scene.
"You wished! Pighead! I was pushed! I still can’t believe that you thought that I’m trying to catch your attention then." Makoto scoffed. “How popular did you think you were!?” She stuck out her tongue.
"Well I was. ^_^" Takki teased. “Tell me, how many hate letters you have received since we became a couple?”
"I was never so hated by anybody in my whole life, until I met you. Urgh~ If I knew that this will happen, I will never agree to go out with you in the first place." A shiver went down Makoto’s spine at the recall of all evil looks.
"Well, you can’t blame them. You have snagged the best guy in school." Takki laughed.
"Butt-head."
"You can’t deny the truth." Takki grinned, he had always enjoyed teasing her.
Hmm Mmmm…" Makoto decided not to argue with him anymore. It’s always tiring talking to a thick-skinned person. She made a face to herself and silently smirked.
"Are you tired?" Now the thick-skinned person transformed into a caring boyfriend.
"A little, but I’m ok. Still can survive a little while longer, I like the position we are in now. It is very comfortable."
They talked a little longer, about their school days, enjoying the moment that they shared together.
"Good night, Takki. I think I’m tired." Makoto stifled a yawn, giving up trying to keep her eyes open.
Takki gave her a smile even though she can’t see it, hugging her closer to keep her warm.
"Just tell me if you are cold ok?" He put his chin comfortably on top of her head.
"Ok." Makyo finally closes her eyes with a small smile at her lips. She know she would be safe in Takki’’s arms. She always was…
Unable to help himself, a look of sadness crept into Takki’s expression.
A night owl cooed from the distance while the couple lay peacefully under the trees.
The first day of studying...
The result of my first day studying... ..ended with up with alot of Zzzzzzz's. Bleh. I thought with this hardworking mood that I'm in, perhaps I could do some constructive reading today but boy, was I wrong. 15 minutes after I started reading, I got a visit from the sandman! Spacing out, slower reaction, heavier eyelids, then.. Zzzzzzz.....
Haiz. What a failure. ^_^;; Why is that everytime when I sincerely plan to study, I will fall asleep half-way?!?! I had 10 hours sleep last night! ((This will make a good psychological research question though)) Izzit only me?!?! Geesh.
Debbie and the rest asked me to join the beach outing next Saturday, should I? Half of me want to go, but the other half of me feel so lazy to step out of the house and socialize. I should I think, instead of cooping myself in the flat, watching my japanese dramas. At the rate I'm going, I suspect my 1 year supply won't even last 1 month. *sweats* Target for the month: Quit being anti-social! (Oh well, see first~)
Hmm...
Hmmm... Blogspot is going crazy again. Again I logged in to come face to face with a stranger's photo staring back at me. I wonder is there something wrong with their system, or a glitch in SV's server???
Finally put up all my posters and photos today on the empty walls. They look much nicer now with all the familiar and happy smiling faces grinning back at me. ^_^ Definitely cheer up the room!
My friend and I were talking yesterday about how as we grow older, our parents seems to get older and frailer as well. Although we are worried about them, but there's nth we could do to stop the process of life except to accept it and worry about it's side effects in the meanwhile. Haiz.. Is there any way to let my parents grow older but free from all sickness?! I very much doubt so but still, no harm wishing for this to happen ne. *PRAY*
First day in school!
21st February 2005
It's the first day of the school. While walking around in the campus this morning to soak in the atmosphere of "1st day", looking at the numerous lost looks around me, I was reminded of my own own first day 2 semesters ago. Although there was fear, there was excitement as well as the thought of a brand new advantage of living on my own in a strange country.
It's quite funny how things in life turned out sometimes not according to one's plan. Never have I thought of studying overseas, but here I am, starting my third semester already. There are plans to join some clubs and be more active in my university life here but I guess most likely "it's easier to say than be done". I'm too lazy, and there's no really strong desire to try to make new friends, especially due to different cultures, understanding of each other can be quite difficult. See how it turns out. It is, only the first day.
Perhaps I should go with my friends to explore around Perth. Whale-watching, cruise, Perth zoo, wildlife parks or even going to King's park for a picnic, that will be fun. Instead of running around in student village all the time. Plans, plans.
I have 2 new flatmates from Austria on a 6 months exchange program. A guy and a girl. So far they seemed quite nice and really the guai guai type which I'm quite surprised. Usually ang mohs gave me the impression that they are more the out-going kinds. Well, stereotyping. Bleh. Ah, and the surprise of the day is, they had rice with nuggets for dinner today!! I always thought rice is the "Asian" meal thingy. Bleh. Another case of stereo-typing. Next time we could cook rice together. Heh. By the way, where's Austria anyway?? Near Germany??
Japanese tute and Psychology lecture tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the latter. I wonder who's the lecturer and how it will turn out. Tanoshimi ne!
