why so dry
Tokyo is really dry now. For the first time after going through 3 winters in Japan, my lips feel really weird. There's this tight feeling on my upper lip, like a layer of super dry skin on top. I bet if I was to smile without lip balm on it, it'll just crack into a bloody mess.
I thought it was just insufficient water intake but I just saw on the ( Read more... ) -
organizing
Hahhh so tired! I just spent the entire afternoon organizing the photos in my laptop. Previously, I organized them into folders, then I decided to transfer them into iPhoto. What a mistake. iPhoto became more and more laggy and it doesn't look as organized as I thought it would be. Everytime I needed a photo, I have to open iPhoto, wait for it to ( Read more... ) -
that piece of trash
Taking a break from cleaning the house. Hansen is out snowboarding now and I intend to clear up the mess in the house while he is gone. While saying that, I actually really want to just sit at the kotatsu and play my FF13-2. Sweeping and mopping the place is quite easy, but it's just omg rearranging the stuff and throwing things out ( Read more... ) -
december
Christmas is coming soon! Last year this time, I was still working at the cake shop near my house. The 3 days up till Christmas was the busiest, waking up at 6AM and ending work at 12AM. 1 year later, the shop I used to work at is no longer there. Hahaha when I didn't visit the shop when I came back in July since the colleagues I knew were all ( Read more... ) -
ambercrombie & fitch ginza
Last week, we went to Ambercrombie & Fitch at Ginza to look see look see. I always thought A&F shops look damn dark and usually can't see the clothes properly coz all they use are yellow lights. At least that's what I noticed when I went to the one in Toronto. The A&F in Ginza is an entire building that has 11 floors ( Read more... ) -
a super long entry from the cleaning lady
Monday, my first day alone at home since coming back 2 days ago. I finished cleaning up the house including the toilet which I cleaned yesterday while Hansen was making breakfast. I think since I came to Japan, I automatically became in-charge of toilet cleaning. Well, it is gross but it actually isn't that bad when I'm wearing gloves, the ( Read more... ) -
and so i go back to singapore tonight!
I am sort of done packing. I haven't attempted to close my luggage yet though, I'll leave that for Hansen to do it. I've been waiting for package from my friend who sent it from Taiwan all morning. I submitted a request for redelivery yesterday night for it to be delivered today from 12:00~14:00 but nope, the postman didn't come. Grrrr, so I did ( Read more... ) -
life after the earthquake
Almost everyone is leaving Japan because of the potential meltdown of the nuclear core reactors. Hansen's friend just called me and said that she got her ticket for tomorrow's night flight out of Japan, and it cost her 300,000¥. Everyone else is worried, be it my classmates, Hansen's friends or my family back in Singapore. And, panicky people are ( Read more... ) -
M8.8
Today is the day after the earthquake. We are still getting the aftershock. I was with my friend at Yokohama yesterday when it hit at 3pm. The weather was great and it was nice and sunny. But after the earthquake, the skies suddenly became overcast ( Read more... ) -
merry christmas!
I know it's 2 days late but I finally have the time to surf the internet. I've been working since 21 December. 21st and 22nd weren't that bad 'cause shift started in the evening. But, 23rd and 24th were really tiring. Work started at 7am and ended at 12am. 25th was from 12pm to 12am. Tiring ( Read more... )
