A Sister I Never Had

Today, was a usual day, falling asleep only at 7 in the morning because I was determined to finish my crossword puzzle and decided to follow through with a few episodes of Bleach before I hit the sack. And there goes the rest of my plans for the day, visiting the optician, collecting my long overdue uniforms, going to the bank and visiting this new cafe cum restaurant which has 2 famous baristas who are pretty cute too.

Until I found Joann, she is a childhood playmate, someone who is kind to me all the time, someone who always has kind words for others, someone whom I love hanging out with. As we grew into teens, I did not realize I have lost her till too late and we lost contact for a long long time. For certain reasons, I dunno how and I dunno when I managed to find her contact number and muster up my courage to get in touch with her again.

Oh boy, I was happy I did it cause chatting with her on the msn felt so real, so comfortable and so warm. It was as if we had never lost contact and walked through the teenage years together. And for that, I can't wait to see her again, to hang out with her again, to chat with her again.. just like what sisters do...  (=

The cold days of Japan

Okay, I know I have been slacking off these couple of months but... I have a great reason for that. I was in the cold... soaking in the lovely winter season of Japan. 

And this trip has enlighten me as usual, as many other things do. Never ever go snowboarding alone if you are a beginner and hasn't got a slightest idea what it is all about. I am very much a beginner myself, but fortunately, I was able to snowboard from one side of the mountain to another. So when my bindings got loose and I had to fix it at one of the gondola stations on a not-so-familiar mountain, I was surprised to find my friends missing which I later found out that I was the one who went missing instead. Sometimes, I hate myself for being so harsh to me and not giving others a chance to help me.

And ming, my best friend, has the most amazing temper in the world, not once, has she blew up on the entire trip, not when we were lost, not when she had to wait a couple of hours for me, not when I blew up, not even when she had to travel all the way back to the beginning to look for something I lost... For that, I salute to you and I treasure you much much more and thank you for being my friend. (=
