しょっぱい！

Important reminder to self:

Using the oils secreted by steaming a chicken to cook a veggie omelette is all good and healthy and all. But forgetting the fact that the chicken has been rubbed with a good amount of salt, in addition to other herbs, is a bad thing~ -_-

Overly salted omelettes are not really that good an idea~ (even though i do like it salty =D)

お弁当の事

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 06:14:25 GMT

あぁ～!お肉食べたいなぁーお魚も。鉄が足りないぃー（多分）
お肉には栄養がたくさん入っているので、その栄養が足りないから、もっとちょだいぃー！

毎日、卵サンドとバナナばかりでは、栄養が偏ってしまう。

魚缶詰でも買いましょうかなぁーそしてお魚オムレツでも作って見よ～

調子悪い、機嫌悪い

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:07:40 GMT

今日調子が悪い。
昨日眠すぎたから。

本当に自業自得だわ。（T_T)

一日、ベッドの上で過ごしたら勿論調子が悪いになりますわ～
体をあまり動かない、そして血の流れが悪いになる。結果的に血行不良になります。

多分つきのものが来たことも原因の一分。だから機嫌も悪いし食欲も無い。

でも、昨夜は六日連続の早寝だ～！それは御めでたいことだな!

昼寝をしたいぃ～

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:48:20 GMT

昨日の夜、12時ぐらいに寝ました！褒めてくれ!（笑）　それでも今まだ眠いのです。
本っ当に寝不足すぎだよな～

今日、あの馬鹿連中が皆いる。だからココで昼寝できません～
ちぇーっ。
さっさと消えなさいよ！

いい子だから今夜も早寝の事、頑張ります～（笑）

アンニュイな日々

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 08:38:07 GMT

世の中茶番ばかりですね。

そんな茶番的な世界けど、まだつまらない。。。
茶番すぎて、私のイライラは頂点に達していましたかな？

まっ、理由や原因はどうでもいいや。このアンニュイ結果は同じことなのだ。深く考えでもどうにもならないことなのだ。

どしょ～今凄く眠いぃ～

長いぃバカンズしたいなぁ～一ヶ月くらいの（笑）
そしてその間、寝不足の事を解決しちやうっ～　名付けて「夢の道へレツゴー！」（笑）

IQ test time!

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 05:31:03 GMT

Now a simple question: You have an open shelf and you'd like to design a poster to cover up the not so interesting looking sides. Someone else helps to take the measurements, and gives you the measurements for the height and width of the shelf for you to base your poster design upon.

Now, what is wrong with this scenario?

......

Sometimes i wonder why people with dung for brains can still keep a business running...

My love is a stapler

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:53:40 GMT

Finally getting back to reading my Saiunkoku novels~ making wonderful progress at about 15 pages a night..-_-

What i'd like to know is, why do they put all the furigana on the kanji that i know how to read instead of the ones that i don't??

慧 is mystified~

In other news, i think i might be hooked on the tai tai pastime of high tea~
Goodness, i'm hardly a tai tai! I don't even have the bird-like appetites that most seem to have~

AND, why is it so difficult to find good rosebud tea here?? Where did the carts selling all the random loose herbal tisanes go to??

Managers...hur

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:04:43 GMT

Manager of an Internet shopping company, does not know how to change IE's default homepage (doesn't even know it's called a home page), does not know where Firefox downloads his files to (even though being on his desktop, it should have been rather hard to miss), does not know why the videos downloaded straight from his handphone no longer can be played (because your computer has been partially reset due to your non-ability to keep it virus free, so you no longer have the codec to support the file idiot.)

Sadly, i find that the longer i work here, the lower my opinions of the male species, especially those that are titled managers and directors.

Stolen test

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:53:09 GMT

Reading thru the descriptions here and here, it's almost scary how accurate a lot of the descriptions are =D

To the sample of the male species queuing behind me

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 06:09:20 GMT

No, there's no need to keep staring at my feet/shoes.

Yes, my shoes are slightly heeled.

No, it will not make a difference even if i took off my shoes; they only give me a 2-3cm advantage over you.

Yes, I am taller than you are.

No, I'm not that unbelievably tall that you have to keep staring at my shoes; it's you who's short.

Yes, I'm sure you've always felt that you're a wonderful example of a tall stylish member of the male species.

No, sorry to say but i'm not inclined to agree with you.

~今日の考え~

怖いくらい素晴らしい事をしたいなら、まず自分は人間である考えを捨ててください。

真理と思わない？　

人の可能性は無限です。その可能性に制限をかけているのも「人」です。
「自分はただの人間だから、できない事があるだろう」　この言い訳を復唱すれば、本当に信じなります。

Less procrastination, more stuff

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:59:20 GMT

Yey~ finally got around to scanning all my old and not so old drawings~ So plenty of photoshop times ahead. Will be uploading the finished stuff onto DA, so take a look if it tickles your fancy~ =D

Been sleeping everyday this week at 3+am~~ i think i'm slowly killing myself watching 大奥~~ My shoulder has not stop hurting this whole week...so i can only think of this to describe it：自業自得。。。 =D ~ i just gave up my "Do-not-eat-off-the-shelf-medicine-unless-i'm-dying" motto and succumbed to panadol~~~

Filtered out...-_-~

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 04:34:12 GMT

Ok~ for some reason, the new web content filter that my boss just placed on our network decided that this journal has *mature content* -_-... so, i can update but i cannot view my own journal...

No problem with other blogs on this site though... Hope i can solve this mystery soon, and get rid of the *offending* element in question~

*edit*
-------
After primary investigations, it seems like the element in question is my elouai doll post -_- .... seems more like *immature content* warning to me

Probably some of the scripts involved offend our new filter...Well, so long as i know the reason... So according to logic, once the post gets pushed to the back, i should be able to view the main page of my journal normal enough~

Random news update~

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 03:33:09 GMT

I'm now suffering from Firefox add-ons addiction~ =D With a grand total of 10 superb add-ons on my office com~

And i jus discovered a new one, one tt allows me to surf around and control my browser actions via mouse gestures~~~ how cool is tt? Sneaky surfing has nvr been easier~ =D No more fumbling to look for the minimize button~ =D

In other news, went to an uncle's new house last sat~ wonderful upgrade from condo to private property (economic crisis? wat crisis?) ~ the whole design (layout/deco/theme) is very nicely thought out. The uncle is a camera-man, so there's a certain level of aesthetics present~

The main pt of my talking abt it is this: i like the top floor/balcony, the house-warming was at night, so there was a very nice cool breeze, the whole feel was very relaxed, very conductive for nua-ing/reading/impromptu BBQ-ing~ now if one of us had a balcony like tt~

Don't mind me, just passing time

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:33:29 GMT

*I SHOULD start on that dress draft

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 09:40:14 GMT

Urgh to procrastinating...I seldom procrastinate at work, so why in the world do i like to procrastinate so much for free-lance dress-making???

Ans: Cos alot more effort is needed, and i'm lazy and unwilling to do laborious work -_- , i'd rather be lying down comfortably on my bed reading then straining my back/knee/ankle on the living room drafting the damned dress...

"One of the worst things about procrastination is all the time you spend worrying, begrudging and dreading the task. Most likely, you put a lot more effort into thinking about how much you don’t want to do it than it takes to actually put your nose to the grindstone and complete it."

*I should start drafting the dress, i should start drafting the dress, i should start drafting the damned dres.. ahem, i mean..the dress...*

Tipsy from my lunch

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 06:52:20 GMT

A song just popped into my head in the mist of my html editing.
Probably haven't heard that song for years.

Five little ducks that I once knew,
Big ones, little ones, skinny ones, too.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a, "Quack, quack, quack!"
He led the others with a, "Quack, quack, quack!"

Down to the river they would go,
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, to and fro.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a, "Quack, quack, quack!"
He led the others with a, "Quack, quack, quack!"

Home from the river they would come,
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, ho hum hum.
But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with a, "Quack, quack, quack!"
He led the others with a, "Quack, quack, quack!"

I had spicy black pepper maggie mee for lunch

Taking a small break from staring at:

If strCatID = "XXXXXX" And strCatType = "XX" And strCatLevel = "XX" Then
Image1.ImageUrl = "~XX.jpg"
Image2.ImageUrl = "~XXX.gif"

I wonder if any of the manga series i'm following has got any new volume out.... Given the number of series i'm following, i'm sure something's out. But i don't know what's my hurry when i still have about 2 week's worth of anime to catch up on, about 5 kg worth of new books to read, a reasonable sized settlement waiting for me to find and build more jewel mines, a need to organise my stuff and install iTunes in my new old laptop, a dress to make before deadline, a few completed drawings to ink....

i think i'll nvr make it back from Otome road and Akiba......How many books can a suitcase hold anyway?

Ok~ back to

function open_win()
{
window.open("Promotion.aspx","_blank","toolbar=yes, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width=660, height=550");
}

To write or not to write

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:57:58 GMT

Decided that i might want to write again, then the next second, decided that i really cannot be bothered. Then yet again, the next moment decide i have nothing i feel like writing even if i felt like writing (does this make sense to you??).

So now, i've decided. I'll do freestyle writing whenever i may feel like writing but yet have nothing i feel like writing about.... i think =D

Hur hur~ i'm just twitchy really~

Too many things i feel like doing, too little time.
Too many things i DON'T feel like doing, too little time still.

I've got this small container of what is supposed to be rock sea salt on my desk now, and i've got this urge to take a small rock and pop it in my mouth =D

Granted i've already tried that before really, and it's a tiny little piece really, i still have that little voice in my head =D

Oh it's gonna be 6 soon~

I am......

What Wenhui Means

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.

You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.

You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.

And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.

You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

Book 7

Fri, 22 Dec 2006 15:15:35 GMT

Book 7's title is finally out~~

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The first thing that flashed into my mind was All Hallow's Eve, the day the Potters died. The day everything started, or at least it was the day that started everything for Harry, but perhaps you might say that it started for him when Snape overheard the Prophecy.

Researching on All Hallow’s Eve, this site popped up http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7280/samhain.html

From there we can see some very consistent themes with what we would all expect the last book of the series would contain. Personally I feel the linkage is quite strong, particularly this part, and especially the parts in bold:

“The Celts called it (Halloween) Samhain, which means “summer’s end”, according to their ancient twofold division of the year, when summer ran from Beltane to Samhain and winter ran from Samhain to Beltane. (Some modern covens echo this structure by letting the high priest “rule” the coven beginning on Samhain, with rulership returned to the high priestess at Beltane.) According to the later fourfold division of the year, Samhain is seen as “autumn’s end” and the beginning of winter.

Not only is Samhain the end of autumn; it is also, more importantly, the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. Celtic New Year’s Eve, when the new year begins with the onset of the dark phase of the year, just as the new day begins at sundown. There are many representations of Celtic Gods with two faces, and it surely must have been one of them who held sway over Samhain. Like his Roman counterpart Janus, he would straddle the threshold, one face turned toward the past, in commemoration of those who died during the last year, and one face gazing hopefully toward the future, mystic eyes attempting to pierce the veil and divine what the coming year holds. These two themes, celebrating the dead and divining the future, are inexorably intertwined in Samhain, as they are likely to be in any New Year’s celebration.

As a feast of the dead, this was the one night when the dead could, if they wished, return to the land of the living, to celebrate with their family, tribe, or clan. And so the great burial mounds of Ireland (sidhe mounds) were opened up, with lighted torches lining the walls, so the dead could find their way. Extra places were set at the table and food set out for any who had died that year. And there are many stories that tell of Irish heroes making raids on the Underworld while the gates of faery stood open, though all must return to their appointed places by cockcrow.

As a feast of divination, this was the night par excellence for peering into the future. The reason for this has to do with the Celtic view of time. In a culture that uses a linear concept of time, like our modern one, New Year’s Eve is simply a milestone on a very long road that stretches in a straight line from birth to death. Thus, the New Year’s festival is a part of time. The ancient Celtic view of time, however, is cyclical. And in this framework, New Year’s Eve represents a point outside of time, when the natural order of the universe dissolves back into primordial chaos, preparatory to reestablishing itself in a new order. Thus, Samhain is a night that exists outside of time and, hence, it may be used to view any other point in time. At no other holiday is a tarot card reading, crystal reading, or tealeaf reading so likely to succeed.”

“The Oct. 31 Greater Sabbat, also called November Eve, the Celtic Samhain ("sow-en"); the beginning of the Celtic winter, and of the Celtic year; the beginning of the Witches' Year, when the Veil Between the Worlds grows thin and the spirits of the dead may return to Earth; the Descent of the Goddess to the Underworld; the final Harvest festival”

This is what I found about the Hallows:

“The Hallows across most legends are seen to represent the royal regalia carried by the King, or the objects sought by someone such as a 'Grail Quester' in both ancient and modern stories.” Perhaps in this case, the “someone” means Harry, in his search for the Horcruxes.

The Hallows in the modern context could be found in tarot cards. Being namely;
· The sword
· The cup
· The pentacle or coin
· The wand or stave

Which could correspond with the four founder’s relics; namely;
· Gryffindor’s Sword
· Hufflepuff’s Cup
· Slytherin’s Locket (it is entirely made of gold)
· Ravenclaw’s Wand or Staff (or so I presume)

From all that, my primary theories are as follows:
· Someone who is dead may return to help Harry, not as a Ghost, not permanently back, just here to help. Similar to who Harry’s parents helped him face Voldemort
· Chapter 2 of HBP is titled “Spinner’s End, could there be a chapter in HPDH called “Summer’s End”?
· Ravenclaw’s relic is either a wand or a staff
· The archway in the MOM would have a heavy impact on the story

There are still some unlinked theories and research I’d like to do, but it’s been a long day, so I shall leave it at that for the moment.

JLPT~~~

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 10:37:16 GMT

Checked the registration date and stuff for this year's JLPT:

*Sneaks peeks at Bala* >.<

Test Date: Sunday, 3 December 2006
Registration: from 7 August to 8 September 2006 (Monday to Friday, 2.30pm to 8.00pm)

Wonder how much jap will i be able to pick up from the countless japanese ojisans in the office in the mean time~~Can't possibly be paying too much attention to them while i'm printing out cheques, i don't wan to add or minus 1 or 2 digits~~

*Jumps to next topic*

Something i saw on TV disgusts me. Sg men who when asked abt why they married china/vietnam wives, proclaims loudly tt it's bec sg women have too high expectations (must have 5Cs, etc). Talk abt the pot calling the kettle black. If u expect to find a meek, subservient chio bu with no expectations to pander to ur every needs and bear ur children, then i must say tt u'll be sorely disappointed.

Everything comes with it's own price, my dear sirs. For one thing, the chio bus tt u're so fond of looking at requires a certain amt of $ to mantain their gd looks.

I'm no feminist, i only believe tt if u have expectations of other pple, then u can also expect tt they will have expectations of u.

*Jumps to next topic*

Bec i'm working in the a/c dept, i know how much the agency is billing the company for my work. I must say i have quite alot to tok to my agent abt...Hur~ he better be prepared. Not tt i object to paying for his services, but i do think tt it's too much for too long.
