Notice how sometimes you just get sucked in to doing something so damaging to yourself? What am I talking about? FOOD! It honestly is a sin... Care to agree? Anyway, food is and very tempting, especially the unhealthy ones. It's so frustrating to actually think about food, my body is weak, I'm sorry and everytime I see fries or chips or cookies or Coke I can just kill myself. All that exercise just went down the drain. As I'm typing now, I'm actually chewing down delicious-unhealthy 'pisang goreng'... Stupid banana that tastes so awesome -.-
I think I honestly generally just don't have strong self-control. I mean I actually do give in to things rather easily. Even something like food gets the better of me. Now, I feel like I've gain way a lot of weight, thanks to junk and fast food... I need a healthier lifestyle/eating habit... So, Goodbye fried food and oily snacks, Hello veggies and fruits :)
Keep looking :)

Another Day In The Office
Was there an eclipse or some sort this morning? I heard about it on the radio and was puzzled. Apparently this was going to be huge... Anyway I got into the office and found out it happened at 8am (somewhere that time) and well, I was already awake then, so I guess nothing big happened... I'm 'stuck' in work again... I don't know but I'm starting to get bored and sick of working here. Somehow I just can't do on thing for too long, the excitement just disappears... Anyhow, I'm stopping real soon, like in 11days (including weekends). Then it'll be me and the team heading off for missions... (I feel like sneezing but can't, ever gotten the feeling where your nose is so irritated that you can just sneeze but then it just holds back and then your eyes start getting watery and you get annoyed? That just happened to me...)
Anyway, today is a new day, I'll be heading to gym tonight... Last night though, I helped one
of my church friend, Choonyee to move house. She rented another room after getting 'kicked out' of her previous room. So, another friend of ours, Deb, and I helped carry choonyee's luggage and drove her from BU2 to TTDI. :) Well, her new place seems alright and the auntie landlady there seems very nice. Yups, well it's always good to be somewhere that's almost like home when away from home.

Jalan Jalan, Drive, Eat, Talk Talk, Sleep...
It was that day again... Saturday... Well, life seems so much more interesting these days. Not because it's fun or anything, but time just gets occupied more for me... Okay, maybe there was a little fun involved. Last night the most terrible thing happened. I was taking a shower after getting back at night (actually you can say morning, got back at 1a.m. :D). Anyway, half way showering, the water pressure was so weak that no water came out of the shower head. I was like so annoyed cause it was late and I wanted to sleep. I can't just walk out, I was already covered in soap... So I opt for the sink... Yes, I had to cup my hands to collect the very little water that was coming out and splash (more like sprinkle) it on my body to get rid of the soap. I ended up cleaning myself and finally got to bed.
Rewind back a few hours... Throughout the week, my friends and I were all planning some dinner outing thingy... It was the girls tradition of some sleepover or some sort. Anyway, we (Vonn, Deb, Choonyee, Shujian, Eilyn, Waisan, Hauyon, Steph, Jeremyloh, Boonkeat and myself) headed over to IKEA after church to makan! It was fun to just go out as a group, compared to my usual 3-4 people hangouts (not that I don't appreciate it or hate it) but it's different when there are more people around. The more the merrier, no? So that was dinner. After eating and stuffing ourselves with Swedish meatballs and fries we went walking around Ikano. Then we had to leave, cause the girls had their sleepover thing. Some had to go back to get stuff and others needed to just go home to sleep. So we split, two drivers, two split-ed groups. :) I had my passengers (vonn, waisan, eilyn and deb) we were suppose to buy junk for later (oh, hauyon, jeremy and I crashed their sleepover, no we didn't sleepover). So yea, the five of us wanted to buy Steph something for her b'day so they decided to get Famous Amos cookies... At the store we saw the staff scooping them into a big plastic bag, they were about to throw them away! Such a waste, we tried to ask him to give them to us and of course he didn't lar... Company policy, so yea, but it was a super sampat moment, I feel bad for the worker. xD So yea, we manage to get the guy to give us a few extra grams. So I guess we were satisfied. After that, we headed to Vonn's, but before that dropped Eilyn and Waisan at Eilyn's. At Vonn's we had a nice real talk about life and somehow ended up talking bout our leadership crisis in youth... But yeah, I think some of the others were lost... But it was nonetheless fun to just talk openly about stuff...
And that is why and/or how I got back home late... Unexpected turns comes by every now and then, it doesn't mean we have to panic when it happens. Just take it step by step, take your time to figure things out and enjoy the moment, cause you're only there once...

Shout!
Pretty bummer for me last night. Sat home alone, doing absolutely nothing. So it was because no one was free to accompany me, or to fill my time. Never mind though, I still have my ever trusting best friend of my life, my TV :D (no that doesn't make me a sad sad person k...). Anyway, I was kinda anticipating the much talked about awards show, and voila! I was able to do so. :)
It was the Shout Awards '09, the very first local awards show that tributes to the local entertainment industry. What I find awesome is how far Malaysia has come. I honestly didn't expect a whole lot from an event like this, but having to watch it live on the tele was pretty spectacular. Alright, I confess that I don't tune in to our local acts/bands, and honestly have never heard of some bands. But that doesn't mean they aren't good. I do feel that sometimes we undermine local acts just because they aren't internationally recognized, but some of these bands actually have good sounds... (if you're into the whole indie, alternate rock genre that is...) but truth be told, I think they just lack support. Personally, bands like Estranged and Bunkface have what it takes to go far... Keep rocking and finding the heart of music...

When In Japan... (Part 3)
Day 3 ~
Starting the day off with a good delicious breakfast...
On our way to Hakone... (Mt. Fuji), it took us around 3 hours to get there... This was where we stopped for toilet :D
On the way out, we passed the military... (random shots) :)
We finally arrived, and it was time for lunch!
After lunch, we visited the Sulfur Volcanoes... (the unpleasant smell didn't keep us there for long...
Next, we went to another temple... This one is famous for their huge bell, and a smaller one... (apparently you ring the small one for peace) but we were warn not to ring the big one, it calls all the monks out... :D
Then we headed to a garden uniquely filled with lavenders... and of course other flowers too...
Mt. Fuji, we finally arrived...
View from the view of Mt. Fuji... It was very misty and I couldn't get a clear shot of Mt. Fuji, that and my camera is not that awesome... But... The view from the view of Mt. Fuji is just as cool... ;)
After a long and winding day of traveling around, we retreated to our hotel...
It has a very typical Japanese tradition home feel... Serviced with a hot spring spa and yakata are provided... Keeping to the culture, we wore it during our dinner... :)
End of Day 3...
Day 4 ~
Traveling, yet again... Today, to Tokyo!
First stop in Tokyo... Asakusa...
yes it rains a lot, but it's no excuse to stop shopping... ;)
Walking around works you an appetite... Luckily, food there just satisfy your needs... :D
Ginza 8th Street - high end shopping street...
What's up Harajuku... Land of lala-ness...
At night, we headed off to Shinjuku, the dark and dangerous street (or so they say). Yes, it is the red area of Tokyo, where gambling, drugs, alcohol and sex is the main attraction... But there are other things obtainable too, if you're into shopping and gadgets that is...
Finally we reached our hotel... At last rest is an option...
But seeing that we only are in Japan once, we decided to roam the streets...
There isn't much, well it was pretty late (in Japan)...
Day 5 ~
Tokyo Disneyland!!
Fun-filled games and beautiful landscape... It's really a fairytale, storybook come to life...
and then there's the parade... all characters align to give you a magical show... :)
Well, all that happiness sure makes you beat... After an amazing day in Disneyland, the wonderful BBQ-style buffet dinner was served... After driving for about 20 minutes to the restaurant we finally enjoyed our last supper...
Well, Japan has been great fun, everything and everyone was just perfect. Being in a country far away from home doesn't bother me much. Of course there's the language barrier, but the service you get there is incomparable to anywhere... It doesn't hurt either to be in a country so developed and modern and clean too... ;) All in all, this was a vacation worth a lifetime...
That's the end of my Japan experience, hopefully, one day, I'll be able to re-visit that beautiful country again...
