The One About Inori

This is it.

Tomorrow, this time, I will be in a whole new world. I’m going to be one of those people test-driving as the first colony of humans to live on Mars.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

Anyway, I’m craving for chocolate. Be right back.

………………………………………………………………………………………….

Ok I’m back.

Today’s Lulu’s birthday. We’re probably bringing her out for dinner at Swensens tonight if she is up to it.

That girl… it seems like it was only yesterday that she was a little irritating monkey climbing and jumping around me. Now she’s all grown up and talented and still irritating.

I’m gonna miss her loads. I’m going to miss my Mom loads too.

But you know what? Right now I’m missing Nad loads and also Benji, Chiyo and Kelly loads. So there’s no correct answer to this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess now with all the new technologies of the internet, having webcams, msn, skype, cheap smses overseas, Final Fantasy XII, it does make being homesick a tad easier. What more relatively cheap air tickets and short travel time.

Having my God-sis and her family in close proximity there helps alot too. They are already going to bring us TV-shopping next week. (To plug my Playstation2 in!)

I have a few friends coming to the airport tomorrow morning to send me off. Which is really sweet of them.

And I also have been meeting up with a few closer friends past few weeks.

I thought I would have my last few weeks in Singapore jam packed with all these meetings and farewells – which would really have happened – but I felt nauseous and having backaches all the time. So I stayed mostly at home. Which suit me very well. Coz’ I’m really a pig in a human body.

I never thought I meant much to anyone. I mean, I always felt that others have done more for me than I have done for them. So it really touches me when they want to come to send me off. *Tears in eyes*

So this is it.

I’m closing another chapter of my life and moving on.

It’s rather scary, I think. A whole new world out there for me to explore. New jobs, gain experience points, kill monsters…. ok.. too much Final Fantasy.

We still do not have internet up in our house. But that shouldn’t differ much since I never seem to update this site anyway.

Well, I will take care. And I will study hard too. I’ll show everyone who thinks Inori cannot juggle so many things at one go. You’ll see!!!!!!!!

 

I really want to thank my cell group members for being there for me always. My colleagues…. no, ex-colleagues who have been the most wonderful group of colleagues I’ve EVER had. Everyone of you.

I want to thank my DS friends. For being there for Chiyo and me when bad things happened. And being there to crap with. Being there to bitch about with. You all know who you are!

I want to thank Jules a.k.a Uliu for all the crap he has endured from me. And he’d better thank me for all the EXTRA crap I’ve endured of him.

I wanna thank Mer, for being such a steady, level-headed, trust-worthy friend who dispenses GREAT advice everytime.

I want to thank Jan, who’s always here for me. This girl is amazing. I cannot say more about her.

I want to thank my Aunties (mom’s sisters) for watching this pig grow up. And being there for my mom when I was a bad egg.

I want to thank my Dad for putting up with my nonsense and my pets.

I want to thank Lulu for being irritating….. irritatingly adorable still after 15 years. 15 years TODAY!!!

I want to thank my Mom for taking me back with no questions asked. It must be tough being my Mom. Sheesh. I wouldn’t like myself much if I had myself as a daughter.

I want to thank alot of people but these above are those that have been having the closest contact with me these few months/ years.
Sounds like I went on stage to collect an Oscar or an Emmy huh…. Hahahaha.

Well, I’m all packed and ready to go. I will search for alternative fuels and report back to Earth when they set up internet in Mars.

You all stay healthy and please don’t shun me when I come back with a wailing piglet, ok?

 

Okay… updates on whats happening in my life now.

This will probably the last CNY for me in Singapore for a long time to come. (Not that I CAN’T come back. But I would definitely AVOID coming back.) It’s different when you are married.

I won $29 in Mahjong against my mom and dad.

We had steamboat for reunion dinner at my aunt’s place. And steamboat for 2 days after. And guess what? I officially hate the smell of steamboat. I was ok with it during reunion. But from the 2nd day I had to smell it? I felt like throwing up.

Mom cooked me instant noodles instead.

I went to my In-Law’s place on the first day with Lulu. Mom-In-Law cooked VERY DELICIOUS asam curry chicken, drunken prawns as well as veges with mushrooms. It was SO DELICIOUS that I ate 2 helpings of rice and asam curry. I even packed some to bring back for my mom.

Then Lulu had to eat Bak Kwa next to me. I almost vomitted too.

Times like this, I would think that I’d rather smell durians (not eat, no, I’m still sane) than smell steamboat or Bak Kwa.

On the second day, we went to my aunt’s place again. I just lay on her bed and played FFIII on my Nintendo DSlite for the entire day. Boring.

On the third day, I went to K-box for a Karaoke Session with my ex-collegues.

It was 5 hours of fun and laughter.

After that, we went for dinner. Someone suggested Billy Bombers but I know that would make me puke. So we settled for Sakae Sushi.

It wasn’t so bad in there. I only felt like puking when I smelt the unagi bento rice thingy. I only ate 1 piece of salmon sashimi. Which was my favorite. But apparently, someone inside me doesn’t like it so much.

I ate two plates of Edamame, one chawanmushi, 2 tuna mayo temakis, 1 fish roe sushi (thank God someone else ate the other because I would have puked if I ate two) and 1 green tea ice-cream.

Sigh.

As you can see, I’m having very puke-y days.

I am also suffering from insomnia. I toss and turn for 3 hours on the average before falling asleep. Already with tears flowing down my face due to all the yawning. I am SO TIRED but I cannot sleep!

And then when I finally get to sleep, I HAVE NIGHTMARES!

The day before, I dreamt of myself screaming at some Sony Ericsson customer service officer and I woke up with a shock.

Last night, I dreamt of my room being haunted by a ghost and I kept telling the thing to get out or else…. I wasn’t even afraid of the ghost, apparently. Just very annoyed with it.

“JUST GET OUT YOU IDIOT!!!! GET OUTTT!!!!!!!!!”, I screamed.

Ok.

7 more days and I fly off.

I wish I could post pictures and stuff but my mom’s comp is laden with viruses. The mouse cursor dances around the screen and Msn cannot work properly.

I guess this is better than not having internet. Which will happen to me in 7 days’ time.

Happy Piggy Year. That’s my year. Hehehe. Good’day.
