The Punishment For Being Lazy

I met Chisa-san last year through the net. She wanted to improve her English and me my Japanese. Mails come through very slowly for us because it takes time interpreting each other. We try our best to write in the language foreign to us and correct each other a lot since well, we both kinda suck at the language we're learning. HAHAHA. Then one day, the mailing stop. We didn't hear from each other for a few months.

Last week, I got a mail about an update from the site and was reminded of this Japanese friend. So, I took the "initiative" to say hello. I put quotes over the word "initiative" because I was lazy and wrote the entire mail in English.


Thought 100%. Effort 50%. My bad.

Why? Well, I got a reply a few days later.


TAADA!



A lengthy mail in full Japanese, minus that one line. -.-;; Now, it's hard enough to interpret a language that you only have survival knowledge about. It's even harded when Chisa-san resides in Osaka, Japan. It's not only Japanese, it's Japanese with a strong Osaka Ben, else known as a well-known dialect. Hahaha. Well, a friend gotta do what a friend gotta do. Luckily, the internet is very veeeery helpful these days.

With babelfish on and my dictionary all set, I'm equipped!

Now wish me luck!

ps: Dear Chisa, I might take awhile to reply. ^^;;

Hiyashi: I want Hataraki Man song.
Cubbie: Apa tu??
Hiyashi: You got imeem? *provides link*
Cubbie: *after listening* SWT! This one!
Hiyashi: Hahaha.. yaa. I'm edited. *totally oblivious*
Cubbie: Apa nih? Edited???
Hiyashi: *OMG* Addicted!

*silence*

Hiyashi: I think not addicted to the song. More like addicted to my work. -.-;;

To be more technically correct, I think I'm addicted to edit. -.-

*write write write*

*read read read*

Urgh.

*edit edit edit*

It's a my life-living process.

************

On another note, I'm starting to worry for myself. First I delete my hair, then I edit myself. I'm starting to believe I might not be "very alright" after all. @__@


Note: Hataraki Man is being played now. Enjoy! *snickers*

The Good Old Fashion Way

And I do literally mean the good old fashion way.


TA-DA!


It's been years since I last got myself in such a pyjamas. The last time I attempt I told the sales girl that I'm looking for such a pyjamas, she told me people rarely look for this kind anymore, unless I'm getting married. DOT! I could swear she was laughing at me on the inside. -.-;; I continue my search but I never open my mouth and voice my request ever again after that. Till mom presented me with this right on Chinese New Year's Eve. Haha.


I say people don't know how to appreciate the little things in life and the little things we were brought up with.

***********

And in funny English I said
"Look me. Look me."

and mom said
"Well well. You don't actually look like a Vietnamese girl going off to do her marketing."

Fine. I admit I'm weird that way. *sigh*

Do It Like Grandma

The following short messages are brought to you by hiyashibeeps.

Clickie for bigger picture.



Ran out of glue to stick the red paper around every single possible thing for Chinese New Year. Resolved in doing it the traditional way. Hmmph. Nothing stops me when I'm determined. *snickers*



And if your house ran out of gas. Here's the first option you should have used in the first place. Trust me. I just had my very very delicious dinner. And this is the reason behind it. *burpies*

This marks my first Chinese New Year post for 2008.

Yes. There will be more.

Happy Chinese New Year!

And The Doctor Says...

"You're gonna drill a hole on her skull."


Suspense leh Suspense.


First Watch This.



*Sadly I have to remove the video because I think there's some error in the script that's giving me problems. Hmmm... *
Instead, you can click here to view the very awesome clip. =)

Now repeat after me.

AWESOME!

Yes, my weekly dose of Dr House is back. Yes, this episode was aired after the Superbowl. Yes it was yesterday or probably this morning if you're living by Malaysian time. Yes, therefore the episode is now floating around the internet.


Now Go Watch.

Enjoy.

There's Always a First

It's true. There's always a first time for everything. Some of you might think "Hah. Silly gal making a fuss over such a thing." But I got my first "nang" yesterday. I don't usually post every blog entry I write to innit because I doubt what I write really interest anybody. =.=;;

But at times I find what I write fairly relatable. ^^;; And thus, wish to share. Never have I got a nang before. So it's a biggy deal when I got one yesterday thanks to my interesting discovery about something on innit.

And thus, that calls for a screencap. *grins*


I went to bed with a little achievement of 3 nangs and had a good night sleep. But when I woke up...

*blink once*

*blink twice*


OMGawd. Interesting innit? got itself to the most popular list of the day. Wow. My short hours of fame. *turns bright red* *blush blush* But silly bloggy me was very very pleased. So pleased I couldn't help to announce my little first achievement on the blogosphere.


Hiyashi to family: I got myself in the recent most popular entry on innit.

Parents: Innit?

Hiyashi: *explains what is it about* Remember nuffnang? Well innit is... blah blah blah...

Sister: So what was your post about? *everyone looked at me*

Hiyashi: Well, it's about a funny word I stumble upon during a identity verification thingy. *goes on to explain the entry*

Everyone: *stares* ???

Hiyashi: Ah. Never mind. -.-;;


So I guess, it's bloggers who understand bloggers well. *shrugs* I'm just glad people found my little discovery interesting. And by the time I post this entry up, my 24 hours of fame would probably be over. :) Oh well, all well that ends well. I see it as a good sign for the coming new year. hehehe...

Interesting innit?

You know when we post stuff on the internet, at times we reach this identity verification thingy. Yup, happens at innit too. Unlike many others which features random letters and numbers, innit gives you very indifferent words to type. Heh. Have no idea how they are generated but here's one that perked my interest the other day.



construction Weiss?

*blinks*

And so I do what I always do when I need to know stuff fast, quick and efficient.

I googled.

And TAA-DA!


An actual construction company in Detroit! Interesting.


Isn't it fun to learn something new everyday. Even though the knowledge is not necessary a very useful one. Hahaha. Knowledge is knowledge however small. Now I wonder what interesting words I'll get when I post this entry up on innit today.

Hmm....
