When I saw this list, I was excited to check what my name would be! I've been wanting to have Korean name! I was imagining my name as Song Hye Kyo. No, Jang Na Ra is cuter. No, Song Hye Kyo sounds more elegant. Haizz.. either one is okay lah. I firstly checked what my husband's name would be to see if this list is correct then I would consider to check my name or not. My husband's birth date is January 30th 1980. So, his Korean name is 'Park Yong Won'! Wow, quite accurate! His Chinese name is actually Qiang Yong, there's an element of 'Yong' although the order is not correct. His Korean name sounds sooo handsome, more handsome than his actual fa...*Abbie, please be silent, he's looking at the screen now*. Ehem..

Then, I slowly checked out my name. I was quite nervous.. my birth date is February 19th 1981. So, the last digit of my year of birth is 1, that means my first name is "Kim". My middle name is "Ji". Hmm.. so far, not too bad, "Kim Ji...". And my last name is.. date of birth.. my date of birth is 19.. so it makes my name become Kim Ji......Neul????? What a weird 'kenul-kenul' name??!!! I don't think this list is correct, tell me, somebody must have changed the order of the list, rite? rite? rite?

How I am Now

Hellow my diary,
I just had my night shower, I'm so refreshed now! Phew, it's been long long long time since my last post. Well.. time goes by, anything can change..
Mood makan datang, mood nulis pergi..
Musim semi datang, musim dingin pergi..
Masa dewasa datang, masa muda pergi..
'Besok' datang, 'Kemarin' pergi..
Uang datang, uang pergi..
Teman baru datang, teman lama pergi..
Aku datang, kamu pergi..
Hiks..

This is my current life. It comes and it goes.. Many things have happened recently but I don't know why I feel like I have nothing to share here. I guess I've entered what people call 'a routine', a stagnant life. Or.. my life is too complicated to share? Hmm, I guess not, my life is too simple, it's too simple till I have nothing to write?. Or.. I just realised that I should not share my life secret here? This might be true, for example, I just got an EPL for some parts of my body and I'm shy to tell you. *What is EPL?* Some of you who know what EPL is, please stay silent. Those who don't know, no need to find out, if you insist to find out please don't let me know if you're finding out. *Next question, which parts of your body??* I told you, some stories of mine are private and confidential!!

Let's talk about how I am now.
- My hair is thinner, counting down when the last string will finally fall down.
- My face is chubbier, I hope it's just a hello effect of my thinning hair, not because I'm fatter.
- My two fantats are rounder, I hope it's also a hello effect of my thinning hair
- My eyelash is thinner, I should not njepret my eyelashes too strong.
- My hair is longer, I'm considering if I will cut my hair myself again this time.
- My tummy is cuter, eh, I mean fatter. It's because the weather was always not supportive when I was in the mood of doing outdoor exercise, like rainy day lah, cloudy day lah, too-sunny day lah, sleepy day lah, house-cleaning day lah, korean-drama day lah.
- My holiday? Next week is golden week in Japan, which means almost a one-week holiday. I'm planning to go somewhere, out there, still under the sun of course..

It's been almost 10 months after my wedding day, I'm still enjoying my life as free as a bird, really. My mum has long started to ask a 'makziat' question that has been a FAQ by mums to daughters for centuries.
Mum: "When are you going to have baby?"
Me: *DanGG!!* "I will have a baby when I have a baby"
Mum: "Eh?? You should not brubrubrub.. You must brubrubrub.."
Me: "Mum, I brubrubrub.. it's not that brubrubrub.. but brubrubrub.. you know brubrubrub.. because brubrubrub.."

You know what? Actually this topic is put inside a closed box, sealed with water-resistant-sticky-tape, labeled as 'private & confidential'. But, this is life. Life is not always smooth. I want to remember this moment too, a moment when my mum and I are playing 'tarik tambang'. Every moment in this life is precious, right?

Dear Diary,

Spring has come! The weather is warmer. I have to slowly wear off my jackets and sweaters and start wearing thinner short-sleeve clothes. OMG! I'm still not ready to it! I'm still not ready to show you off my sancham! I need to do some work outs! I need to eat less food! Starting from now! No, it has already been started since many years ago actually, it's just that the result seems not clearly appearing now.

Arghhh..!! Tuk wak tuk wak tuk wak! Diary, please support me!

One Moment to Remember

Tuesday, 8 April 08, 10.43am at home

Dear Diary,
I'm back at Tokyo now. Now is already in the month of April. Sakura season has slowly passed by. Rain and wind blew sakura away in the last two days. Anyway, I've enjoyed sakura enough. You can view my pics with sakura here in Sakura in Japan. During my 5-day holiday, there's one moment I want to write here so that I can remember forever. It's when we stayed at Nara, the hotel was just very refreshing, with hot spa inside the room, near to nature, fresh air, beautiful view, very different experience. Ahhh....
