Rilakkuma Fever Frenzy ♥


My Rilakkuma fever frenzy started after I first saw this short video back in 2010.
It's so cuuuuuuuuute I cannot even resist it~


I usually dislike girly plushes or characters, such as Hello Kitty.
But....I actually love Rilakkuma.
Not sure why, but I've always love teddies.

Ever since I watched Princess Hour back in 2006, my fondness towards teddies increased.
They would featured teddies resembling the characters in the story at every end of the episodes.

Rilakkuma is a combination of "relax" and "bear" in Japanese pronunciation.
The character was prodcued by the San-X company where it first debuted in 2003.

When I started to hangout with Cubex, during the period where he always fetch and send me home,
there is one big Rilakkuma's head pillow inside his car that I always like to hug.
He told me that it was a gift from one of his friend.
Everytime I sit in his car, it made me felt like snatching that pillow away and put on my bed right at that instant.



Rilakkuma is often accompanied by other two characters.
Namely korilakkuma and kiiroitori.

Haven't been crazy about Rilakkuma for a long time.
And, Audrey triggered my kuma senses lately.
She was totally hooked up with T-ara after "Cry Cry" was released.
When she showed me the link to Haha-Mong Show and asked me to watch T-ara's episode.
I immediately spot the human size Rilakkuma doll on EunJung's bed.



Urgh....How I wished I have a Rilakkuma human size doll as well.
Would be the best thing to hug to sleep at night.
Awwwwww, sweet dreams every night then =)


Dancing Rilakkuma is super irresistableeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

More skin care products =)


More and more skin care products are entering my room =)
First, I received some face masks from Irean.

Then, I received more face masks from Andrea.

And also, thanks Bridget for bringing back the BB cream for me.

Was super energetic in taking care of my skin lately.
After 14 days of exhausting and unhealthy Chinese New Year week,
all those oily, salty, fried, heaty food has turn my skin condition from bad to worse.
Breakouts everywhere, urgh.

All those car washing sessions under the sun has made my skin become darker as well =(

Time for some intensive skin care time =)
Hopefully it gets better after few weeks time.

Valentine's Day 2012

Happy Valentine's Day 2012.
Probably this would be the first year I don't feel a thing on Valentine. LOL.

Another usual day for me.
WORKING LIKE HELL.

Happy for my friends who have dates with their BFs and GFs.
I have few friends who are having their first valentine's day.

Been wandering around with my mum last Sunday.
And she told me that there is this "love bean" tree beside the road of Gaya College.

It's been ages since I last saw the "love bean" or better known as "xiang si dou".
I remembered I used to collect and played with them when I was small.
There's even an Abrus Herb or better known us "ji gu cao" tree planted behind my grandma's house.
And my grandma would always go behind the house just to pick them for me.

This would be the first time I am looking at a "xiang si dou" tree.
Man, it's tall and big, unlike the "ji gu cao" tree.

It's impossible to pluck the seeds off directly from the tree.
So me and my mum are looking for it from the ground below.
Using a stick, we even dig around the ground to find these red little beans.

After spotting some ripe ones on the tree, I ended up throwing some sticks and stones upwards.
With the intention of hitting the branches and wishing that they would fall off.
I feel like a total retard and jackass when none of them even fall off. LOL.

Drivers that passed by even looked weirdly at us.
Probably wondering what were the both of us doing there.


My mum love "xiang si dou" very much.
She used to collect them back in her school days.
"xiang si dou" are very common in the olden days.
They can be found everywhere, even in the school compound.

The ancient chinese often relate this red bean to romance and love legends.
The bean is not meant to be used for food, but instead as a love token.
I wondered if my dad used this to chase my mum back then? LOL.

Present here the two love poems which are related to "xiang si dou":

******
Endless tears in my eyes,
I toss the love beans as I yearn for you;
Filling the gallery,
spring blossoms and willow bloom perpetually.
Sleepless stormy twilights, through the window I stare;
Unforgettable sorrow, the past and the present.
Delightful cuisines, I desire not;
Looking in the mirror, I see my gaunt reflection.
Those frowning brows, feeling the pain of missing you;
In these endless nights, my world stops turning.
Oh! You are on my mind,
as inexorable as the vague distant mounts;
As unstoppable, as the ever-flowing streams.

******

The red bean grows in southern lands,
With spring its slender tendrils twine,
Gather for me some more, I pray,
Of fond remembrance 'tis the sign.

Capcom Station Lucky Draw

Two months ago....
Just before Christmas, it was the last time I went to PUMP with Irene.
One of the employee of Capcom Station, Matt, asked me to fill in the lucky draw form at the counter.

According to him, whoever exchange RM10 worth of tokens will be entitled for one lucky draw chance, in conjunction of their X'mas cum school holiday promotion.
I was in amazed state as it was the first time I came across event like this in an amusement outlet.

Never would I expected.....
I am actually chosen as one of the winner for their consolation prize.
When the City Mall employee called me, I cannot even recall the lucky draw event.

This would be the second time I won something from a lucky draw event.

But I couldn't understand if they would give me 10pcs of game tokens or RM 10 worth of gold tokens.
Will find out when I go play PUMP the next time =)

And they also gave me this two pcs of kid's world ticket.
Which is only usable for childrens age 6 and below I guess?
I dunno, but I will give it to any of my friends' children if I happen to meet them.

Thank you Capcom Station.
Although your machine is an older version one, I still love to PUMP at Asia City.

After almost two years.....

Why?
Why now?

Last year after my birthday, you wanted to meet me. I rejected.
Last year after Christmas, you wanted to meet me. I rejected.
After New Year, you wanted to meet me. I rejected.
Before Chinese New Year, you wanted to meet me. I decided to give you a chance.

You said you wanted to meet me because you have something to tell me.
Honestly, I somehow can guess what you were going to say.
Afterall, there's only two possibilities.

If you want to meet me, sorry I won't drive to your house.
You will have to come find me.

What's the point of meeting me but you have nothing to say?
I thought you were the one who has everything to say to me?

First, you talked and asked about my daily life. (okay, no comments, we'll just start by chatting like friends.)
Second, you gave me a box of biscuits you brought back from Penang. (thanks, my mum love it she finished the whole box.)
Third, you suddenly lend out your hand in front of me. (what was that suppose to mean? you expect me to put my hand there?)
Fourth, you hugged me when I show no response to your action. (don't expect me to fall for you again, I'm actually disgusted.)
Fifth, you asked for a second chance to mend & continue our previous relationship. (sorry, I don't want to get back to those life.)
Sixth, you asked me if I'm confirmed with my decision. (well actually, you were whispering that time I cannot even hear what you were talking properly. I just ignore and say NO to everything.)
Seventh, you said SORRY when everything gets awkward and send me off. (why say sorry now when it's already after 2 years?)

Seriously, I felt stupid for a moment there.
I was actually expecting more, like reason for why you left me 2 years ago.
I don't need your sorry, I just need to hear the reason.
I never knew the real reason why you left me hanging in mid-air 2 years ago.
People said you were with another girl behind me, I choose not to believe it until I saw those statuses and photos in facebook.

You were just the same like the first one.
I'm glad that you taught me the "never giving up" and "independent" spirit back then.
But from what I recalled, you were also the one who have taught me not to give a second chance to the same guy who is not loyal.

You said "he who knows how to disloyal for the first time, sure knows how to disloyal for the second time".
I will always remember this line of words.

I might be cruel but I cannot trust you anymore.
Seeing your face always reminds me of the pain you gave.
Don't say sorry to me now, I don't need it.
On second thoughts, I don't need to hear the reasons as well. No point.

Thank you for the short memories.
Thank you for teaching me some real life lessons.
Second chance for our previous relationship? Not a chance. I'm already gone.

25.01.2012 - Third Day of CNY 2012

Amazingly I manage to wake up at 6.30am.
Just like any other working days. LOL.

I'm actually still on holiday but I have to fetch Daniel to the bus terminal.
He has a bus to catch at 9am.
I was supposed to go for a trip to Sandakan today, but too bad I have to cancel my plans as I'm going to start working on Friday =.=

Driving alone on the road early morning of the third day of CNY feels good.
NOT MUCH CAR, hahaha, feels so relaxing I even play some sentimental songs to suit my mood.
Reached his aunt's house at 7.45am.

I actually still have the WOW feeling when I stop in front of the luxurious house.
Unlike yesterday, today, all the cars are parked nicely in front of the house.
It actually just shows more of how rich this family is.

The tables, drinks and leftovers are still left outside after everyone left last night.
I guess the people of the house are all too tired to clean up. lol.

The house is very english feel.
It is so beautiful I cannot stop myself from wandering around outside just to have a clearer look of the house.

Inside, Daniel's mum is busy packing so that Daniel can bring back the box of stuff to Sandakan by bus.
When suddenly she say "don't just stand there and look, go on and take pictures of the house if you like".
I am totally stun when Daniel and his dad are both laughing.
No idea of how his mum knew what I am thinking, maybe everything was written on my face, LOL.


The morning atmosphere is totally different than last night atmosphere.
No more dim yellow light, it doesn't feel romantic anymore, HAHAHA.
I have a little tour inside the house and I actually start taking photos like a little tourists =P
When I walk out of the side door, this cute little dog start barking fiercely at me and she actually run towards me.
I was terrified and running into the house saying "mummy". HAHAHAHA
WTF it reminded me of the incident where I was chased by two super fierce dogs back in secondary school =.=
That is how I got my phobias with fierce dogs, but yet, I still love dogs. LOL.
The dog was cute and little but she was super fierce, Daniel's mum has to chase her off for me.

Then I spotted this music room.
Last night, I cannot enter the room because it was packed with his relatives and their friends.
Today, it's empty. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

The room is fulled with different musical instruments.
The first that caught my attention is actually the drum set.
I want to play it so much but it will surely wake the whole house up if I did.
Then there is an electric organ, piano, tambourine, guitars, etc.
I would like to have a dance room in my house next time =)

After touring around the house, I sit and start chatting with his dad.
His dad start feeding me with all those snacks as all of it are located just in front of us. LOL.
Then one of the uncle join us, and comes another aunty with the grandmother.
The way they talk with each other is funny.
Listening to their conversations will make you laugh.
Slowly, more of the uncles and aunties started to wake up.
They all laughed when one of the aunty was shocked to find a stranger sitting in her house early in the morning, where she almost thought that I was her daughter. funny reaction. LOL.

All those morning chit chats and snacks made us doesn't want to leave at all.
Daniel even said "Just wait for the next bus if I miss this one" LOL.
When we actually leave, it is already 8.40am.
I have no confidence that I can reach the terminal by 9am.
But we actually reached the terminal at 9am sharp.
I totally LOL when he said "your drifting skill is not bad".

I handed him a container of Kuih Lapis from my mum before he walk down from the car.
Have a safe trip home, if only you stayed longer, then perhaps we can go PUMP =)


BUSYYY

Have been so busy all these while I am actually super outdated with everything and everyone =(
Irean even said that I have moved to Mars and become a martian. LOL.

I have ditched my blog aside for such a long time all those spider webs are filling up the space already.
Imagine someone who is always in town but never knew what was happening around? LOL.

Time to give myself a break. I guessed I am an over-workaholic.
