I think too much.

Okie, ignore my post yesterday. heh. =)

I am afraid.

It’s the third time in my life I am feeling this way.

I feel that I am losing it.

I have seen so many long relationships among my friends, and I really wonder why I couldn’t keep one.

So I ask myself questions. Maybe I’m not interesting enough to keep one’s attention? Maybe I’m just so easily replaceable? Maybe I’m not good enough to deserve one?

I have seen how fast a person’s heart could actually change in a split second. Not to mention, twice. While you’re holding on to the sweet promises and the days you’ve spent together, the other person would have changed. Just like a metal. It gets heat up really easily, but it cools down almost instantaneously as well.

This scares me. It really does.

Maybe I’m just not up to it.. because I do not have the courage to feel the pain yet again.

Mars vs Venus.

This is the second time I saw it happening consecutively in two days.

Imagine this: the train is fully packed with people, you(the supposedly macho/fit guy) are accompanied by your petite girlfriend who wore a 5-inch high heels just to accomodate to your height. While standing up, two of you act super lover-dovey and as A.A. as possible. HOWEVER, the next second a person got his/her butt up from their seat and it isn’t even cooled yet, YOU, the protector of the country aka the everything also (want to) bao ga liao person aka the one with more muscle units, immediately STICKS your butt to the vacant seat without even looking at your girlfriend. And to add, you sat down and sigh a relief when you got that seat, and look up to your girlfriend with a pair of tired/sleepy eyes which are trying to tell your girlfriend that: “darling, i’m so tired, pls don’t ask me to stand up again”, and so your soft-hearted girlfriend just let you be.

What’s wrong with the guys/boyfriends nowadays?

NOT SAY I WANT TO SAY(quoting from Gerald Tan), everytime I see this happening, it makes me think about what kind of person I will be marrying in the future. You can say I’m like picking the perfect needle out of the deep blue sea, but HELLO, marriage is no child’s play yah? Of course have to be picky. But just looking at GENERAL crowd of guys, makes me shudder with fear of living my life with such a person.

However, I do agree there’s a lot of guys who “appears/act” gentlemanly. Do not misunderstood. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, ’cause at least you try to be nice to ladies. What I really can’t stand is self-centred men. I’m so sorry about this guys, but looking at real life examples around me, self-centredness MOSTLY occurs inside men. Sometimes I even think that I can be a better man than the men in general. My lady boss told me it’s better to find a guy who is slightly older than you, so he will take care of you and let you have your way. I don’t really think so though. Some secondary school kids are doing even better than grown-ups in terms of letting seats to ladies, etc etc.

So the best way to choose a boyfriend or life partner, is to skim through Gladys’s close guy friends(not the AJ ones lah, they are my sistas k), ’cause only those guys who are good-natured enough will be reckoned as good friends by the great Gladys Tan. LOL. Seriously, up until now, I have never stay long contact with guys who are ill-tempered or self-centred because I chose to do so. Therefore, if you realised I’m not talking to you a lot, don’t worry, you just simply CMI. Haha.

Summer Time.

This song is so nice~! I can really feel the Summer beat in the song(though it’s always Summer in Singapore). I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of NewS latest Single this Thursday!

To my friends who will be busying working/studying, do stay log on to my blog for my photo and text update from Japan, ’cause I’ll be bringing my laptop over. Heh.

Kawaii~~

Just finished watching Hey Hey Hey! 28.04.08 thrice a while ago. Introducing… WII Fit!

Haha, the game is quite dumb because all you have to do is rotate your hips and raise up your hands when the mini persons in the TV throws you a hula-hoop. I really doubt it can burn off ANY calories though. Looks effortless.

Lastly, a new way to eat Natto/pudding!! Invented by Mihimaru GT.

For the sake of those who didn’t try Natto before, it’s Japanese fermented beans, brown in colour, (VERY) sticky, and has a bit of bitter/alcohol taste. Many people including Japanese themselves hate it. But I LOVE IT. Especially when mixed with raw eggs and lady’s finger. Okay, maybe it’s because I love to drink as well. LOL.

And so you have it. A conventional way of eating Natto for those who used to dislike it: Natto + Pudding:

Tell me the taste if any of you tried it. LOL.

6 more days…

I’m really counting down to the days when I can finally have a good night sleep before flying off to meet my dearest(you-know-who), with Jaz, Xinni and Esther. LOL.

夏の前にキミに会えたから, 最高の波が来たいるのさ。

Because I met you just before Summer, I know the best wave will be coming to me soon.

P.S: Coincidentally or not, I’m going there JUST BEFORE SUMMER. HEH. =)

JLPT 3. PASSED.

日本語能力試験３級結果発表。。。パース！

As soon as JY notified me that he had received his JLPT4 results last night, I rushed down to the mail box and jumped in excitement when I saw a big A4 envelope lying in the mailbox.

However, to much disappointment, it was a letter and pamphlet from Sendagaya Japanese Language School in Tokyo.

Earlier on today, I was notified by another person — Shuwen again, that she had received her JLPT3 results. Aha! I couldn’t have been mistaken this round. I rushed down almost  immediately to check my mailbox once again, and… TADA! Notification received.

I’ve got 332/400 for my test, and ALMOST gotten full marks for my listening. ARGH.

I really need to brush up my grammar though. lol. 150/200.

All in all, I’m quite satisfied with my results. =)

Next major examination to come… EJU~!

My first dish.

Please do not be mistaken that I have never cooked instant noodles or boil/fry eggs in my entire lifetime. Just that this is the first time I’ve gone through the trouble of the preparation to cook, and to the actual cooking process itself.

Though I did cook when I was in Osaka(Yaki Soba), the ingredients were already prepared by the students, so all I had to do was to use my hands to fry everything together.

This was what I’ve cooked for my Dad and I for dinner last night:

I prepared this within 20 minutes and waited for my Dad for 4 hours to return home from work. In order to keep it warm, I store the food inside the heat insulator container:

When I open the lid, the fragrance of the curry was emitted almost immediately, and my Dad said:”wah, smells quite nice…(but can eat anot?)”

Then he continued to ask me questions like, “instant one right?”, “you cut the ingredients yourself or instant also?”. Don’t pray pray okay, I cut like pro chef can. HAHA.

None of us have stomache today, so I guess it was okay.

OICHII~!

Blessings in Disguise. =)

I went to school this afternoon with Cassandra, to find that Uncle Johnny could not let us into the Avid Room. ARGH. However, I was quite fortunate to stay in school until Chishiho Sensei called me to ask for Chris Lim’s number, which in turn gave me a chance to participate in the Youth Forum with the Waseda Shibuya High School students later on. A blessing in disguise? This is only part 1.

Anyway, I felt so old when I was there. Not that I am the oldest, but I am considered a graduate there. All the juniors are like “senpai-ing” me, which made me felt even older. Fortunately, Chris Lim and Chris(Taiyou) came to the forum too. Blessing in disguise part 2.

After the forum, we had the chance to mingle with the Japanese students. While we were happily chatting away, the Japanese students started the topic of “do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?” which spun off a series of “why??” after I said I did not have one at the moment. Although I do not know why, in my memory to date, I was asked this same question everytime, by Japanese. When I replied “inai”, they will ask me “why?”(often followed by a “but you’re so cute!”. heh.), which in turn was a blessing in disguise too, as I get to enjoy praises. Haha.

At the end of the forum, Chrises and I had decided to go watch movie as we had too much time to burn. Therefore, we took bus no. 143 to head off to VivoCity. As we alighted at the bus stop, we strolled along the covered walk way till we were about to walk down the stairs to the subway station. THEN. Being the same old Gladys, I forgot my laptop on the bus. Fortunately(or not), I was able to think calmly then and flagged a cab to follow the bus.

Gladys:”Uncle ah! Can you follow that bus in front? I left something on the bus!”(Bus already out of sight…)

Uncle:”Okay!”

Gladys:”Uncle, do you know the bus route?”

Uncle:”I guess so.”

Luckily, we’ve found ourselves a streetwise, no, bus-wise driver, who helped us in rescuing my laptop in evil hands. Okay, though my lappy does not contain anything exciting that will land me in International Newspapers’ headlines, all my graduate works are all inside. Although it cost me quite a bit to chase after the bus, it was the biggest blessing in disguise of the day, isn’t it? =)

See! Being single can let you lead an adventurous life! Exciting yah?

My 21st Birthday.

I couldn’t say how grateful I am for so much love received on my Birthday party yesterday. But of course, there are some people I must really thank.

Mama and Papa: Thanks for giving birth to me on the 12th of February, 1987, so that I can breathe, walk, eat, talk and feel happiness, and will continue to do that till the end of my days.

Angelia Jiejie and Shawn Korkor: Thanks for lending me the place and sponsoring me the buffet to let me do whatever I can on my birthday(actually, two days prior to the actual day). I think the only way to repay both of you is to impart all my skills to baby Carys in the future, when she learns to talk. heh.

Kelvin korkor: Thanks for sponsoring my birthday cake. haha. and thanks for being there for me during most of my childhood days. you made me think that soft toys are alive, and i still do think so too(whenever you mimic their voices). heh.

Miss Cassandra(Eng): Top of my friend’s list! Haha. Thanks for helping me to create the honour certificate. My treasured friends loved it! So sorry you couldn’t stay for long.. I would want to take photos with you..

Mr Goh Kok Yong: Thanks for being such a wonderful coordinator, you really gave me a pleasant surprise by having sssooo many of the MJcians, whom I’ve not met for so long, coming to my party. Love ya!

Miss Koh Yang Cheng & Jazreen Elizabeth Ng: Thanks for helping me to cut the cake and clearing up the mess. Haha, I can’t live without both of you! Heh.

Miss Jocelin Tan: Although.. you lost to KokYong, hahaha, but nevertheless, you succeeded in smashing my face into my cake! Lol. Hugs.

Miss Cecilia Xiao: Thanks for helping me to pull so many YNPS friends to my 21st birthday. You know I really appreciate how I can at last meet most of them at one go. Though I will be away in Japan during your birthday, but I’ll make sure to buy you stuff from Japan yah? Heh.

Mr Lee Xianjie: Thanks for helping out to take beautiful and memorable photos during this important day of my life. Of course, I won’t forget to link you. HAHA.

Last but not least, thanks to all my friends who came to my party. If it’s possible, I will definitely want to tell you how grateful I am to each of you(and how much I like your presents.lol.). When I opened up your presents one by one, I couldn’t help but feel touched that my friends actually know what I want.

Do let me thank the people who gave me the little musical box that says: “making melody in your heart”.

It’s the closest to my heart. =)
