After listened to my friend's hardship, I thought back and looked over my own "relationship" (with "my-not-yet-bf"). Honestly, sometimes I am actually worried. From time to time, I wonder what if things just not moving forward… In a sense, he might just hold me back for his own selfish reasons… Especially, when most of my close friends keep asking me about the clarity of my relatiohship between him. It tires me for telling the same reasons again and again. And yet, it doesn't sound like it progressing anywhere…
But I quickly realised that it's just a foolish tought. I'm quite certain all my friends just overly worries about me. Only me and him know for sure how things goes between us. So far, he has been trying not to keeping me down and not leaving me in a doubt. He has showed me such a genuine affections. He is simply a wonderful guy.
If we weren't meant for each other in the end. I will still be thankful for the chances given to be able to know him until that moment. We've been having such a great time together. He has trully brighten my life. I am really happy where I am now. We neither friends or lovers. We're just happily cruising together. So please, stop worrying and stop asking me about me and him. I'll be okay.
It's better to have loved and lost then to never have loved… I am taking my chances ;)
It's true. It just happens… you have no control of it. But what if… the person you like always keeping you down or don't feel the same way as you do. How would you fight your own feelings… and decided to stop.
My friend took the courage to walk away. I am so touched with her brave decision. She seems so much stronger now.
She shared me this video clip music from Sara Bareilles Gravity. It tells perfectly her stories. (or could be mine in the future. I hope not.) It's quite a touchy song… sobs… I like it! might sing it for karaoke :P

I’ve been so addicted reading this girl’s Japanese Magazine. You know what I like so much about them?! They’re so big and chunky filled with plenty of pretty and handy stuffs!!! I can really read them over and over again. There’re always new things that I pick up from that magazine. Their make-up, hairstyle and nails art tutorials is very very handy!!! I guess that’s what makes it stands out than any other mag.
CanCam is in my top list. But I found some other mag that are pretty good too. I like JJ, Jelly, More (the April issues has really handy quick bento recipes), Vivi (I think this one is HK), and Mina (quite casual and teenish). The only thing is I wish I could really read them!!!!
You could always get all this mag from Kinokuniya (but yea, the price is quite dear… maybe some of you prefer to spend it on other things). Pssst… since there’s no Kinokuniya at Brisbane. I’ve been getting all the latest issues from here. It’s a secret between us, okay.
Hope it will give you something to read during the weekend. I wish you have a lovely one. Happy reading!
I dunno why I suddenly have my break down moment. It has been such a great day. I could be such a difficult and impatients person to deal with really… sigh… such a troublesome…
Geeshhh… I dunno if someone could ever accept me for who I am… I'm so imperfect and have so many high expectations…
Yes, my sister thinks I'm quite a weirdo. I think I am -_-" hrhhhh… I am who I am. compromising can reach each toll…
Something fun to watch. It's short animation from a book called Duck! Rabbit! by By Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld. It teaches your kids about optical illusion. It's definitely a compulsory reading for my kids (My kids!!!!… Oh my, I'm thinking too far) well, just incase they want to follow my foot step become a graphic designer :P (ck ck ck… yes, i'm being ridiculous) You could get the book from here.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!!! Hope you enjoy the short clip^^ …and Happy Birthday to Kanimaki^^ I wish you have a great birthday
Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today I want to be a part of it — New York, New York These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it — New York, New York!!!
Excerpts lyrics from Frank Sinatra New York New York Remember that song… so much energy! My colleague just came back from her around the world trip. She showed us all her trips photo. Geeshhh, New York really is a big city!!! No wonder that there's so much diversity over there.
My friend and her partner traveled from New Zealand, New York, Vancouver, Boston, Rome and Bangkok -_-" I envy her so much, I can't wait to have my own trip. Let's put New York on the list. I am planning to go to Korea and Japan first, hopefully this year!!!
Where would you like to visit this year for getaway?
Image from New York magazine. I really like the magazine it self. It tells all the hip stuff happening over there. I love the typeface used as the masthead too. I wonder what is it. Anyone can guess?
Perfect weather during the weekend. I must say it's now entering to autumn season. It was bright and sunny with slightly cool breeze.
Attended my friend birthday BBQ at New Farm park on Sunday. It was so lovely to be there. I really enjoy spending time in the park and having laid back time. Some people would enjoy having a date in nice fancy restaurant, for me, a picnic would be my perfect date :P plus with a glass of wine, sigh… that would be really nice^^
Saturday was ok… was catching up with my beauty sleeps. Oh, I got new phone too. It's Samsung F480 in PINK!!! But seriously… I still need to get used to with the touch screen -_-" I feel so old… it's getting hard to keep up with technology. It's about time I changed my phone. My cap plan doesn't suits me anymore anyway. Couples of my last month bill just keep sky rocketting -_-" sighhhh…
Sighhh… I can't stop thinking about him (arghhhhh… the agony… why… why…)
Dear my friends that have been having dilemma over love. Let's not worries so much… stop worrying what may come… stop recalling your past… stop thinking whatever he/she feels about you. When you have somewhat warm feelings for someone, just let it be. Don’t be shy and scared to show it… most importantly, show it with actions not just words or a confession. Do things whatever you feel comfortable with. Enjoy the moment of being in love!
To be or not be, let our heart discover…Let’s fall in love
I used to dislike ramen. I had given my self many chance to like them. I tried ramen at the famous Wagamama that seems to be everyone favourite, then again at Top Noodles, and few other places as well. Unfortunately, from all different types of ramen, none of them suits my taste bud.
Then, he (my-not-yet-bf) took me to this ramen shop at Gold Coast. He said it is the BEST! I was being honest and told him that I don’t like ramen. But, I was willing to give it a try. (I must noted about his knowledge about Japanese Culture and his taste in food is really good. I completely trust him on this two. Although, he rated Top Noodles really low which I thought was not bad -_-“ He completely bans me to eat at Top Noodles anymore!!!).
Now, I grew my affection with Nagahama Ramen. It's a tonkatsu (pork bones) based soup. Seriously, there is so much richness with the broth. It will taste even better if you added some benishoga (red pickled ginger), crushed sesame seeds and the most important is TAKANA (spicy pickled vege)! I really can’t get enough of takana. Recently, they charge $1 for one small container of takana (shown in second photo). It is rather a bad news T_T
Remember to visit the Ramen shop when you’re down at the Coast! The whole shop is in orange colour. It won’t be hard to find. The Address: Shop 25, Center Arcade, Surfers Paradise, Queensland.If you are interested to know a bit more history about Nagahama Ramen, please visit here.
We went down to the Gold Coast on Saturday. It was a perfect sunny day to spend time at the beach. I like him for being spontaneous. He asked me out to go to the beach all of sudden in the morning. I was quite surprise to my self that I actually agreed. Since I’ve always been quite a planner.
It was unexpectedly fun. We were having such a great time together. It was very relaxing day.
What is your ideal day like to spend one sunny weekend?
Yesterday, it was one hot Sunday. The heat was very sleep-inducing -_-“ It was a very unproductive day. It was too hot to do anything. Well, except doing your laundry. So I washed up all my linens and changed my quilts. My auntie made this for me.
I’m so glad to be back at work with the air conditioning :P
