おひさしぶりです
Well so much for wanting to blog as much as I can. July is almost upon us. Half a year has come and gone. As usual work has kept me occupied these days. There have been days that I only got home past midnight and there are days that I stare at my office computer screen because my brain is too tired to think. Recently a dear colleague of mine had resigned and the pupil that I’ve grown to care about will be ending her stint at the firm next week before her Part B commences in early July. Still work has been the only thing that has kept me going. I think I’m lucky to be working for my big boss. Tho the job comes with little benefits but I can’t complaint about the working environment. I care for every one of my colleagues (w/ the exception of Lord Idiot the lawyer) and the camaderie we share. So long as I’m needed I’ll keep doing my tasks to the best of my abilities.
If you asked me 5 years ago what my life would be like after I turn 25 I never thought it would be as it is now. Perhaps it’s not everything that I thought it would be. Sometimes I can’t help but think that I have become a ‘himono-onna’… lol. Those who have watched the j-drama ‘Hotaru no Hikari’ (ホタルノヒカリ) would know what I’m talking about. When I was describing this drama to my sis’ friend recently my sis mentioned that it sounded as if I was describing myself. Come to think of it in some ways I think my sis is right. I am organised and efficient at work but when I get home I’m the total opposite. I prefer to laze at home, wear the most comfortable outfit (which is usually t-shirt & shorts), I tie my hair up, I don’t really have a social life except for the rare occasion when my friends remember that I exist, I’m not actively looking for a love life and I have no interest nor desire in partying, hanging out in clubs or pretend to be someone I’m not.
Not that I’m on the path of a dried up women on purpose or have no interest in finding love but somehow I’m at the point where I start to think if I will ever know what it feels like to fall in love. Yes I’m 25 and do not know what love feels like other than love for a family member or a close friend. There are days I wonder if I had done something really bad in my past life to be cursed to not feel what love is or perhaps I have yet to meet whoever I’m suppose to meet in this lifetime not that i'm in a hurry. I wonder if I’m the only one who feels this way. Oh well enough of thinking of such things. Please ignore a himono-onna random thoughts ROFL.
Its been more than a month since my last appointment with my Orthopaedic doctor and my CT scan, yet I'm still waiting to hear from the hospital on my appointment for an MRI scan and my next appointment with the doc. Tired of waiting, I finally got around to calling the Orthopaedic department directly on Wednesday to find out what was taking so long. Spoke to the admin staff and found out that my scheduled appointment for the MRI scan and next appt with the doc was next week! Next week?! And I wasn't even informed? What if I had not called this week and missed those appointments? NUH i am very dissapointed. Its not the least bit amusing since my pain has gotten to a point where when I walk sometimes my whole leg from my lower back to my toes almost feels numb and on a very bad day I can't even feel my left leg and I'm already low on painkillers which I only take when it gets very very bad at night since I do not want to rely on them too much or get addicted to them. I so hope that what ever i'm going through with my back is not as serious as what my paranoia seem to think it might be. The MRI is going to cost a bomb. The hospital estimates that i will cost me between $300 - $600 and honestly i don't even have that much in my bank account since i live paycheck to paycheck. Hopefully they will allow me to pay in installments. *sigh*
My twice a week Japanese class is moving faster than I expected. I’m now in Basic 2 Term 1, man how time flies. Sometimes I feel like I’m kinda behind in class. I only do my homework at the last minute and I hardly set aside time to revise through my notes. So far aside from learning the hiragana and some basic vocab, we’ve learnt how to use the particles は、 が、に、で、へ、を、and も. I’m still kinda struggling with certain sentence structures and memorizing new vocab but I’m sure with more practice I’ll be okay がんばります! (^-‘)v
In other exciting news, which i admit is somewhat stale piece of news since its been a couple of weeks now, Arashi (嵐) is releasing a new studio album, Boku no Miteiru Fukei (僕の見ている風景), in August and their new concert dates have been announced! ちょう exciting! The day when pre-orders were up online, it was sold out within 2 hours! Due to the overwhelming volume of people online pre-ordering their copy of the First Press edition, CDJapan site servers actually crashed! whoa. 嵐のファンはすごい! Luckily I managed to Pre-Order a copy for myself on YesAsia.
Speaking of concerts, like every International Arashi fan, I have this wish of attending at least one of their concerts. To see Arashi perform live in person that would be so awesome! But everyone knows how extremely expensive it can get for an international Arashi fan to get a ticket. I swear Johnny Jimusho needs to set up an International Arashi Fan Club. I am certain Johnny-san knows how popular Arashi are all around the world. It might be wishful thinking but if ever Arashi decides to do another Arashi Around Asia concert, I do hope they will come to Singapore. Wishful thinking why? Because I know it'll be costly to bring them to Singapore and I don't know any events company who would. I'd gladly volunteer to work out the details and show the boys around if it were ever to happen (^-')v
Ouh and before I forget, another exciting news! Darling Aida has given birth to a healthy baby boy last weekend! Meet baby Aryan, ain't he a cutie (^-^)
Its now half-time of the Germany vs England game. I may be supporting Germany but poor England was denied a clear goal. At this age of modern technology such mistakes should not even happen. I hope FIFA or whatever international football association would look into this matter. Ok the second half is starting. Till my next post!
