- BROADBAND AT LAST -

I am so happy that I finally got broadband at home. But as I think about the debts that I will face, I shudder. It is not too bad as it is my mother who is still paying but I know the burden might be too heavy for her to bear so I will do is try to clear my debts by paying her. Sure, I know it probably means that I will have less to spend but I gotta just pay her back. At least, I won't feel so guilty. I mean I am the one who is using the broadband so I should pay right. Well, just feel so happy at the moment still. Haah.. Till the next time..

- SARUBOBO -

Alas, after being so happy about recieving my Sarubobo, I decide to go do some research about it. Well, I guess it seems a little extreme but it is always good to know something new. In this case, I am glad I did check up because it has to do with the "charms of Japan" (pun intended) This is what I found out, enjoy..

A tiny sarubobo, intended to be hung from a mobile phone
A sarubobo is a Japanese amulet, particularly associated with the town of Takayama in Gifu prefecture. Sarubobos are red human-shaped dolls, with no facial features, made in a variety of sizes. Traditionally, sarubobos are made by grandmothers for their grandchildren as dolls, and their for daughters as a charm for good marriage, good children and to ensure a well-rounded couple.
[edit]

The name "sarubobo"
Sarubobo literally translated from the Japanese as "a baby monkey". The Japanese word for monkey is "saru", and another way of saying it is "en".
There are several reasons why the amulet has this name. The sarubobo is associated with three wishes;
Protection from bad things.
In Japanese, the English word "leave" translates as "saru", so possession of a sarubobo means that bad things will "saru"
A happy home, a good match
In Japanese, a happy home is "kanai enman", a good match is "ryo-en"
Having an easy delivery on birth.
Monkeys' childbirth is easy.
The face of the sarubobo is traditionally red, as is the face of baby monkeys.
[edit]

The reason why sarubobo has no face
Sarubobo dolls and charms usually have no facial features. The reasons for this are unclear, but some have been suggested. One suggestion is that, originally, sarubobos were made from left over cloth and made by relatives, so there was no need for them to be completely accurate.
Another suggestion is that the absence of a face allows the owner to imagine it - when the owner is sad, they can imagine their sarubobo to be sad too.
[edit]

Modern sarubobo
Nowadays, sarubobo are a popular souvenir in Takayama, and are available in many different colours and shapes from souvenir shops. There is even a Hello Kitty doll dressed as a sarubobo.
The differently coloured sarubobos are each associated with different wishes;
Blue sarubobo - for luck in study and work
Pink sarubobo - for luck in love
Green sarubobo - for luck in health
Yellow sarubobo - for luck in money
There is also a differently-shaped sarubobo called a "tobibobo."

- SHOPPING FOR HAPPINESS -

I never believed in the idea of retail therapy. I always thought that money can't buy you happiness and shopping will not make you any happier than you are. Boy was I wrong.

So the story goes. I went shopping yesterday all by myself. It is really rather exciting when you have to make the decisions all ny yourself. When you have your girl friends there with you, it is so different. They make comments, choose the best looking clothes for you and is really just there to shop for themselves too.

I cannot count the number of times I had to put back the dress or shirt I fancied because one of them said that it is too expensive or not suitable for me. Well, this time, I called the shots and decided for myself and guess what, I ENJOYED it!

Hee. I would not have gone shopping myself if not because I was in a sucky mood but as I made my rounds, looking for clothes, shoes and makeup, I feel my spirits start to lift. So each time I spent, I found a bit happiness and needless to say, I was greatly satisfied at the end of the day.

Well, I know such happiness is temporary but guess that I need to pamper myself at times. And spending a bit of money is ok?

Gotta look at all my reciepts. I have not touched them since yesterday. I wonder if I spent alot? Hmm..

- TO ANYONE -

This is just a little note. I started this blog with no intentions of actually telling the whole world that I have a blog. But I think yesterday, my colleague discovered it. I think it is probably me who used her computer so that is why it must have been a accident that she got to it.

I just hope that any of you who read this just read it. No point really, if you were to tell others what is actually going on in my life. Call me a coward, whatever but it is a fact that I don't enjoy being the center of gossip.

I am ridiculous really. No one might even get a chance to read this since I don't tell people about the blog. What happened yesterday was an accident but even if my colleague choose to remember my blog site then I also cannot stop her.

Jus hope that she (or any of you) will be nice. =)

- AU SECOURS -

Well, so the story goes like this. Kenny and me broke up yesterday night (01/06/05, 12 plus am). Wow, it was really painful but now I know the reason for all the problems between us. The REAL reason is shocking and it made me cry so badly. I don't want to say it out because I believe that some things should still be kept to the heart. But now I am on my feet again, ready to move even I am still thinking and thinking about him.

Today (01/06/05, 1755 pm), he messages me. I found out he was also very upset by all the trauma yesterday. And he asked me to give him a chance. Of course I did. All this while, I have mantained the stand that I will be by his side because his own problems are causing us to drift apart.

I feel helpless. Because no matter where I turn, I feel the same thing. Love, hurt and foolish that I have actually edged on the deception that was going on half the time by being too optimistic and hopeful. Self deluding, I know I am. I won't be able to say how this relationship will turn out because it is not me who is not trying hard, it is him.

He says he will try. So we are back together, a break up for less than 24 hours surprisingly seems like an eternity. Goodness. How can this be? This mixed up feelings, messed up relationship.

Ok, I feel better now. Hopefully, he succeeds in trying. That will help us a lot. I have done all I can, and I will continue to do so.

Perking myself up for more things to come my way. Don't care whether it is good or bad, will try my best for him.

I love you, dear.

- WHAT IF -

I am upset and in a foul mood today. I had a 20 second long cry at work (and a longer one yesterday) and I still feel sucky. I know it is not the pressure of work (I can usually handle that quite well) but because of what happened yesterday.

I don't know why would people fight over wha-ifs. Like yesterday, both me and Kenny was supposed to be happy because we watched a horror movie, and went out. It was supposed to be a happy thing but why did the England issue come out?

He cannot make up his mind whether or not to actually go to England to work and he knows that if he goes, he won't come back in 2 years. 2 years is not a short time so any time longer than 2 years would mean enternity and I should wait for him in Singapore?

He does not want me to wait so we should break up then? After 3, 4 or 5 years, how can he bear to give up what we have. Now it is only 1 year plus, so if I know that it will happen anyway, why hold on?

He is selfish. He wants to take the easy way out. He wants me till he leaves but that wastes my youth. I thought of a optimistic way out and I say I am willing to go with him when the time comes (maybe get married first and work there, I don't believe I can't get a job there, given my credentials, gotta work hard!!) But guess what he says, he don't want me to follow!

I sense danger. I can feel myself slipping into self denial. Why do I always do that in all my relationships (slap me in the head someone!!) The obvious way out of course is to move on and let this guy move on too because he knows what he wants. Why do I stay and believe that he might not go?

Because he says so, He said he is confused and even if he wanted to go, he might not get the work visa. And the main reason is because I love him. I am often in love with the feeling of being in love but this time, it is because I have been with him for more than a year and it is difficult to let go (especially when I have been so faithful to him)

I am confused too but I know I cannot let go unless he lets go too. I will have to help myself then and hope that he will get out of his gloomy mood.

He is a pessimist and I am the exact opposite. I believe this is what people mean when they say OPOOSITES ATTRACT.

I am happy when I am with him and I feel that this is more important than anything. I hope that our differences will be sorted out soon. I know we will because he just messaged me to say that he will try his best. We shall work things out, I guess.

I must be positive. Cheers.
