累

精神疲惫。 怎么了我? 不想这样下去。

是时候!

日本，东京 8.9级地震与海啸

11March2011 - 星期五

这一天发生了一起惊天动地的一起天灾。 日本发生了8。9 级地震与海啸。10m海啸把屋子卷走，淹没稻田， 一瞬间变成汪洋一片。 满目疮痍的景象随处可见， 看了叫人心酸。

12月到了日本游玩。 虽然仅仅2周，我却深深地爱上那里。日本人地礼貌和自序让我自叹不如。优美的风景更不用说。新鲜的海产料理仍然还再刁斗着我的味蕾。这么一个完美的地方，大自然这么舍得摧毁它呢？

可是在逆境中， 我们仍让能看到他们面对困难的不同。 地震发生时，他们都不惶恐，不尖叫的撤离。 在避难依然能手自序的领取物品。在离开后，却一点垃圾都不留。是对灾难的熟悉，还是逆境已经把他们训练得更坚强了？

现实所发生的情景，犹如电影版地呈现出来。这不得不让我们联想到世界末日的可能。

希望大家能更积极的面对生命， 更勇敢的实现梦想 。 因为生命是如此的脆弱。 你不知道明天会发生什么事。

日本加油！

Outdoor onsen with warm sake.. This is life!

As no photos allowed, I kop the photo online.

 We stayed in the western style room. It has 2 beds plus tatami mats with small table. It's sooo much more spacious tt the hotels in tokyo.. Big enough for 4 ppl.

It's the most tiring day cos  of the falling, using my abs to lift the snowboad off the deep snow.I had trained an iron butt after 3 days of falling.

2nd day: We ventured to the intermediate slopes. Certain parts is really steep.. Scary..

Really luv this Japan trip, miss the fresh sashimi, soba, onsen, milk tea and snow!! Will want to visit japan again!!

The best is of course my trip companions!!

The little black dress - Memoirs

Last post, I mentioned about the books that I read recently, so one of which called: The little black dress - Memoirs (if i remember correctly). Is about a girl who have been through 2 bad marriages and now she wants to leave her countryside to New York in search of a new life. Her father is a writer for a famous magazine and he referred her to an editor for the position as her assistant. However, she's mean, demanding and difficult to please boss. She managed to work quite well with her. Her boss is competitive and was trying to please the magazine's big boss. She had plastic surgeries to please him and became his mistress. Ppl in their industry had lots of crazy parties with alcohol and drugs. They are in it, just to be part of the group. The main lead chose not to go cos dislikes it and she doesnt want to be in it to climb the corporate ladder. On the contrary, the editor chose to go. After a long night of partying, they returned to their own apartment to nurse their hangover. So lonely.
The magazine big boss's found out about the affair between his husband and the editor. So he magazine biss boss neither support the editor's new book nor promoting her. She lost her power and dominance in the office. In the end, her book didnt sell and she lost her job. Nobody sympathise with her. In fact, they celcbrated on her departure.
There were so many things to learn from the story of the two ladies which is difficult for me to pen down and remember. The few which I believe are:
1) Stay true to yourself and to use your hard wark to earn what you want to achieve
2) Find true friend not partying acquaintences
3) Be nice to ppl and dun spoil relationships
4) Take or accept things tt belongs to you

Another book is "The 24 carrot manager". It talks about the use of "carrots" to motivative employees. Too lazy to write about it..

Had a busy week cos need to work at home on last sun - wed. Soo looking forward to next week, Universal Studio on Fri, Night cycling on Fri too.. =)
Next wkend going to Bintan for YEC retreat and next wkend will be flying to Nihon for 2 weeks!

I felt tt I didnt rest my eyes well enough.. Felt damn pek chek. TT was when I started to feel sian abt work.. Hiaz.. the sianess started to accumulate from then till now.. Was on MC on Mon for checkup again. Then reality struck that I need to work on Tues. At tt time, I felt that thurs and fri was the happiest time in my life. Cos i can go shopping with mum, take nap in the afternn, sleep damn early at 10pm.. Felt healthy and normal.

4th Sept- The Frontier YEC 2010 Story Telling Comp at JP1. Went to help out from 830 to 2 pm. Then had meeting with SLC on night cycling. Headed home at 9plus. Super tired.

Then I was super busy after my lasik cos i was away for quite a number of days in Aug. Had to catch.

18th Sept- Company's International Coast Clean up at Tanah Merah Beach. Find me.

19th Sept (sun): Attended FX's wedding. I didnt take any group photos with them cos i didnt bring camera. Only have one cam whore pic of myself. 美肌照。哈哈

25Sept (Sat): Went for follow up checkup for my eyes. Ate Dim Sum with mum at Toa Payoh before my appt. But the dim sum is not nice =( The we went bugis OG shopping.. =) bought a number of things.. My mum bought more than me..

26th Sept (Sun): Today is treat myself well day.. I cooked soba and bought some sushi for lunch today.. =) Nice and simple lunch.

Bali trip Day 5 and 6

Day 5

Divingless day. It's a shopping and surfing day.

We woke up slightly late than normal and had our breakfast slowly =) We done a little shopping at the alley on our way to kuta beach. =)

There's the popular Bintang beer singlet, necklaces, t shirt to buy for ourselves and frens... =)

We reached kuta beach and signed up for our surfing lesson at Odessey surf school.

~Kuta Beach: Great waves~

~Us on the beach observing how to surf~

~Yeah. I had Bintang beer for lunch. We had a sumptous sefood for lunch, spicy kangkong, fried calamari and something else~

~A horse carriage is spotted~

Day 6

~This is our hotel for 5 nights. The pool looks quite nice but we didnt get the chance to swim~

~My Proud purchase on Day 6. The childhood toy that my dad bought for me when he wen Batam. I cant imagine I can find it in Bali =) ~

The summary of good shopping places:

~ Little shops near Kuta beach

~ The shops along Legian street connecting to Kuta

~ Kuta Square for branded surf shop. They are real pdt so not very cheap

~ Discovery Centre - Air conditioned shopping mall

~ Semyak Square. We went there on Day 3 for dinner. It's a new shopping mall with surf shops and body and soul. I bought a toga top. Nice =)

Things to do in Bali:

Diving!

Surfing

Bali Diving and surfing trip Day 4

3rd Day of Diving

The highlight for the day is to spot Mola Mola. Even though we had spotted 1 Mola Mola yest, I still would like to see more of it.

We went back to Sanur Dive site.

1st Dive Site: Crystal Point. Mola Mola breeding site.
We sighted 2 Mola Molas. They are sea creature which thrive in cold water. It's an amazing sight to see thermal cline (warm and cold water merging area). When I saw thermal cline, I was full of anticipation of the Mola Mola. They are not agressive animals and they will open their little mouth and can stay stationary in water (super good buoyancy).

2nd Dive Site: Crystal Point. Mola Mola breeding site. We dive at this site again as some ppl didnt see Mola Mola. We had some time to jump into the water from the boat, jumped from the deck etc.. =)We sighted 2 more Mola Molas.. And we got close to the mola molas.. so cute =)

3rd Dive Site:S.D. Point
This is a drift dive site. There's alot of corals. But we didnt see any big animals..But there are instances where we were swimming against the current I struggled. =)

With this, it marks the end of our diving session. =) It was the best diving trip ever =)

Then it also start our shopping trip and the exploration of Kuta Beach.. We went to Discovery Centre for dinner. We wanted to eat something local, but seem to find any, so the next best thing it's A&W. =) I love the float.. =)

I looked so sun burnt...

We walked to Kuta Beach and found the surf sch which we are going the next day.. We also went to walk at kuta beach.. There are weird kuta boys trying to sell drugs and "mushroom". Till now i still dun know wat's mushroom..

Feeling tired.. We went back to have a good rest cos we r going for Surfing lesson the next day.. =)

To be continued..
