Belated photos from the chat with Bamboo. There's a paper over there called "MX". The sections in the paper sounds hilarious. "MX ESCAPE" and "MX JUICE" LMAO.&lt;br /&gt;Bamboo don't kill me XD&lt;br /&gt;When you're back in December wanna go KL? HAHA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've made a wasted trip down to Paragon for the medical checkup today. In order to counter that I went finding food in ION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P1636_13-09-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The takoyaki is crispy on the outside which is not to my liking.. The sauce is better complimented with a less crispy takoyaki. It's still quite tasty though.&lt;br /&gt;I got sucked into Daiso after that and got two belts as commanded by Mom on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it amazing when friends you've lost touch with contacted you? =D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3652701958475807838-5990461271172619144?l=emarissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://emarissa.blogspot.com/feeds/5990461271172619144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://emarissa.blogspot.com/2010/09/lol-belated-photos-from-chat-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3652701958475807838/posts/default/5990461271172619144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3652701958475807838/posts/default/5990461271172619144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emarissa.blogspot.com/2010/09/lol-belated-photos-from-chat-with.html' title=''/><author><name>Emarissa</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VWzFYPb9OYI/SKhw5QnKJVI/AAAAAAAABPE/7S-GKfhyj5o/S220/avvy.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/th_Videocallsnapshot1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652701958475807838.post-3227259589900408131</id><published>2010-09-08T18:47:00.013+08:00</published><updated>2010-09-09T00:17:16.578+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='first post'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reading'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='knitting'/><title type='text'>I'm back</title><content type='html'>Hey, I'm back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can rant like mad but I shall keep it short this time 'round.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems like many have stopped blogging. Thus, I'm re-gathering the links again. Do drop me your blog's url at my tagboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a blogskin I made. LOL. I gave up after spending half a day to create one. Ran out of inspirations and really lacking in photoshop skills. I shouldn't publicize my graphic design skills LMAO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My 3-year-old laptop had its hard-disk dead, had to spend $120 to change it! Changed the OS to Windows 7. It pwns Vista like crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/8-9-20105-39-40PM.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;a aiotitle="click to expand" href="javascript:togglecomments('NAMEITHERE')"&gt;emo rant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="commenthidden" id="NAMEITHERE"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;There was a period of time where I was isolating myself due to financial problems. I wouldn't say that it was the real reason behind my nonsense. It was more like my pride and guilt. I wasn't working at that time and I've already graduated. If I hang out with people, I need money right? I had to get moolah from my MOM. How can you not feel guilty about that? I'm supposed to be bringing a monthly income home at that point of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now it's better since I've been working part-time for a month or more, but my pay has not been banked in. Well, at least it doesn't affect my conscience so much anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instances where people relate my anger with PMS, I can't help but feel misunderstood. I do get affected by PMS on a small scale, but more of my tolerance has been exhausted and it exploded on the particular incident so it's misleading. Whatever I said is whatever I meant. Guess I should honor my words from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Finally, I picked up something I've been wanting to learn. KNITTING!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P1608_08-09-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still at the basics, knit and purl. To be able to "knit" hearts, I'll have to progress to Crocheting, which will take a long time. *sighs* Never mind, I shall take it slowly, being too rushed may ruin my interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P144501_31-08-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my old favorite, wonder if anyone likes it as well? Laughing Cow's Belcubes/Party Cubes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pets are doing well. The daddy roborovski is home alone, while his wife's living with the two daughters. Dad's aquarium appear to be stabilized now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This cat in my neighborhood is real friendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P235401_07-08-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just go to her, and "meow", she comes to you purring and shows you her belly! Not once did she show me her teeth or claws meow. She enjoys being pat on the head meow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to the library and borrowed a few books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P1622_08-09-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love to read such philosophical illustrations. This genre is normally in Chinese, it comes with easy to understand illustrations followed by a page of text explanation. I read Mitch Albom's Tuesday With Morrie and The Five People You Meet In Heaven, read For One More Day halfway through. My brother asked if Albom's books are suggesting you to take life easy a.k.a. "being lazy and relaxed", somewhere along the lines of that. I forgot what exactly he said but it's agreeable. I would say that it's trying to tell the reader to take some time to appreciate what you have, especially in the modern society where everything is "fast". I think it will be a good read for those with fulfilling careers, if you get what I mean. When you need to fret about your next meal, being relax and satisfied just doesn't make sense. But it's up to the reader to interpret, as long as it motivates he/she in a positive manner?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P162001_08-09-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who know about the FT job I've secured will probably be amused by that photo. Keep it down for me please! LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P1620_08-09-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Astrology is only accurate if you consider the other planets on your chart. It works for me! You can go to &lt;a href="http://www.astro.com/"&gt;astro.com&lt;/a&gt; to get your natal chart, it requires your birth time though.&lt;br /&gt;I'm rather superstitious, so if you have your birth time you can try this as well, &lt;a href="http://www.profate.com.tw/FreeHDi/Weight/main.asp"&gt;秤骨&lt;/a&gt;. It's the one of the Chinese fortune telling techniques that are published in books.&lt;br /&gt;Been watching this TVB drama Cupid Stupid and it's about astrology too! Tavia Yeung!&lt;br /&gt;If anyone's against that paragraph, just ignore me on that topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/P1511_14-08-10.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saw this at NTUC, good that they have it here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/8-9-20106-01-03AM.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just erased the messages on my cbox, and saw this. Three years in poly garnered that amount of hits.. Laughable. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really had fun having a busy schedule. It allows me less time to be a worrywart and having my butt stuck on the computer chair. I have two part-time jobs now and knitting classes. Thinking of volunteering with certain organizations but wonder if I'll still have the time to commit in future. I shall take things step-by-step optimistically.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3652701958475807838-3227259589900408131?l=emarissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3652701958475807838/posts/default/3227259589900408131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3652701958475807838/posts/default/3227259589900408131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://emarissa.blogspot.com/2010/09/im-back.html' title='I&apos;m back'/><author><name>Emarissa</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VWzFYPb9OYI/SKhw5QnKJVI/AAAAAAAABPE/7S-GKfhyj5o/S220/avvy.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/hikari_no_hime/blog%20photos/th_8-9-20105-39-40PM.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
