SPEED 10th Anniversary

It's been 10 years since SPEED first debut.

Here's a website set up by Toy's Factory; their former record company that commemorates this special event. It is pretty impressive as it contains sound clips from all their albums and singles.

I actually collected every single/album on that website. I was such a big fan! Looking at these covers brought back some good memories. :)

Medical Appointment

Just went to see the doctor this morning to get a prescription refill. The doctor is about my mom's age and she is kinda ... funny, cuz every time i see her she starts asking a bunch of personal questions like a nosey relative. Today she asked me questions such as if i live by myself or if i have a boyfriend etc etc. And then she suddenly asked me "So are you going to be ok by yourself for the rest of your life?". My first reaction was like "huh"? but then i just told her "well i never thought of long term things like that". It is obvious that i wont go too in depth with her, but on the other hand i think the answer is obvious. Truth is i don't think anyone wants to be alone for the rest of their lives deliberately unless the person is like emotionally scarred or was betrayed and dont trust anyone or something (?). On the other hand it is getting more difficult to find someone with the same set of values, interest, backgrounds, goals, etc. And it is perhaps reasonable to take the time to pick out the right person. Obviously I haven't give up, at least not yet. ;)

Maybe next time I should tell her some bs like i am a lesbian or something ... i am sure she'll be pretty freaked out hehehe :D

Freckin' Terrorists!

After 9/11, we started going to the airports well in advance to check in and go through security. We have to take our shoes off at times and also pay hefty security surcharge. It was alright and never affected me much since i am not the type who carries shape objects around (hey i dont even do my nails). And I was never really concern about my safety on board, cuz i'd figured everyone knows what to do now when they spot a terrorist on board (knock him out like you'd do to a fish!)

But since last Thursday, there have been talks about banning carry-on luggage for good after the alleged terrorist plot was unfolded. This will seriously affect me and i am like screaming out NO~~~ to this ban.

Here's a list of how i will be affected:

• 
  i won't be able to shop at the Duty-Free from now on. :( This is where you can pick up some nice perfumes and skin care products at discounted prices! There are other goodies too!
• 
  i won't be able to use my special travel pack again. :( The package includes a nice Miffy flight pillow and plane ticket holder i got from the airport in Japan and an eye mask (cover, not a facial mask) from TokyuHands. Where will i get the chance to use these from now on?
• 
  i won't be able to take any of my skin care products. :( I don't think they have any idea on how DRY the cabin can get!!! For me, i totally can't survive on such low humidity place. I always carry some facial cream and face wash with me cuz it's so dry there. And of course there's my lip balm and hand cream, which i carry with me EVERYWHERE i go. Checked luggage does get lost and i always carry a set of clothing with me on my carry-on. Arrrh how am i gonna survive without them? A long haul flight gets pretty yucky during its last few hours in the air cuz the same air is being circulated and you do need things like deodorant, mouthwash and stuff to make you feel fresh. Now they are telling us that we can bring them on board! Arrggggh!
• 
  to make it worst, they are also gonna be taking away your Ipod!!! :( Arrrh this is probably the thing that's gonna affect me the most! I won't even survive a half hour train ride without it. Now i gotta try and sit still for like 12hrs+ without any music cuz of these freakin' terrorists!!! Arrrrhhhh they can't ban the Ipod please please please! It'll be even worst if i have to fly with Air Canada cuz they still don't have a personal entertainment centre like other airlines!!! (you get a shared projected screen that's working if you are lucky) Also those crappy headphones provided by the airline...which i totally can't stand!!! Arrrrh someone help me! I cant read on the plane cuz of motion sickness, so my Ipod is like the only thing that'll keep me sane during a long haul flight.

Wooo....what am i gonna do? :~( Stupid terrorists!!!!

An all-time low!

Just a day before payday the balance on my bank account drops to the single digit....

Counting down the hours! ;)
