EXAMS ARE OVER!!!
i found my shoes for prom night yesterday!! Really in love with them...hahax now i don't have to wear zori to prom nite after all XD. It's not a pair of heels (pity...but mum won't sponsor heels...) but It's a little like ballet shoes except that it's more of a sandal than shoes...no not the flats that are so in fashion nowadays...i'll leave it all to ur imagination :D
Can wave gdbye to the Japan version ltd edition of 5x5...sighz...but and the DVD included. But by buying the normal version I'm supporting them too...I can listen to La Tormenta all I like, on my discman, but I can't watch a DVD with my discman all the time...
Wonder if CNA really has any vacancy...I'm inexperienced in such stuff, so I'm still wondering if my email to them enquiring about an internship was appropriate...these things count.
I wish i got paid to translate (bitter laughter)...I mean, I love translating stuff for people, and I'm more than happy translating Arashi songs and articles to share with other fans. But it'd be nice if it were a real job, lolx...but since that's impossible...if I can't get internship...will just give out flyers/do surveys etc etc to earn some $.
I doubt they want a translator who hasn't even gotten her 'O' level results yet and still needs to check up her dictionary every now and then when she translates anyway...
I just realized (again) that in Pika*nchi, released in 2002, Sho's character was called Chuu, a nickname for his real name Tadashi 忠. And the class I was put into the next year(Loyalty) , also has that character as its Chinese name (Tadashi means 'loyalty' anyway). What a coincidence lol... but my class isn't full of 'yankees' (as they call hooligans and gangsters in Japan) with regent hairstyles like Chuu. Lol.
If Vic really chooses to go to Meridian JC...then all my cousins on my dad's side who can go to JC nxt year will be going Meridian. Me, I'm wondering whether I should go ACJC, NYJC or Meridian. Each has its merits, but I won't stay in ACJC beyond the 1st 3 months...I think. Vanessa and WeiLing are in AC, which has HEP (if I'm not wrong)...nice to have seniors there...Maybelline's going NY which isn't a bad JC either...and if i go MJ I'll have Junrong, Kenneth and maybe Vic (?) MJ made it to top 10 in its 1st year, as Kenneth told me...and that's quite an achievement: 1st year! It'd be fun in a considerably new JC with friends and relatives around lol...but no HEP.
Speaking about Vic...I was really sad when I visited grandma at his home yesterday...We didn't say more than 'Hi" to each other....he hung out more with his siblings and i didn't really know what to talk to him about, knowing that certain topics may be sensitive...I'm glad he can go to JC. Guess he's really bloomed? But I miss the days when we were little and would play all day...though it took a little time to warm up to each other each visit, by the end of the day we'd have had so much fun I didn't want to leave. What happened to that? He's my cousin but it was almost like we were strangers yesterday...very awkward. With edwin there'd be the music and everything else, same with Kenneth...but what happened to the fun Vic and I used to have together? I wish we were as close as we used to be.
I realise that I haven't seen Elvin for nearly half a year...his job just keeps him so busy. Even when his parents come over to visit and chat, he's either overseas or stuck in the office, as it was during Yang biogge's wedding a few weeks ago. I sort of miss him. He's almost like an elder brother to me, giving me advice over what to do, what subjects to take, which school to choose, etc etc.
Wonder if that's what Sho's younger sister and brother feel? His job takes him away from home most of the time, either that or he reaches home really late.
Of course it'd be best if one didn't have to sacrifice family time for work. In The future, I'd love to have a job that allows ample family time. But how many of such jobs are there? When the time comes, i know I'll almost definitely have to choose between my ideal job which probably would take me away from my family a lot, and another job, not so ideal, that allowed for family.
I guess I'm still a conservative girl, not one of those power women who would sacrifice family for work and success.
It isn't, and won't be, easy to juggle both career and family at the same time. Will I be up to it?
