Finally...I get to relax!
Hello everyone,
I just came back from training, and I'm tired, but at least it's the weekend and my exams have finished! yup, that's it.....my CA is over! Woohooo!!!! Right now, I'm just doing some reading. I went to the library today, as I always do every Wednesdays and Fridays. And a book I just borrowed touched me really really deeply.
As I read this book, tears well up in my eyes, and I actually start crying. The title of the book is "Baby and Me". It may sound like a kiddy book, but trust me, it's not. Anyways, it's about this boy named Takuya and his little baby brother. Let me just type out the summary of the book.
Young Takuya has it tough. Since his mother passed away it has been his job to take care of his baby brother, Minoru, while their father, Harumi, works the long hours of a Japanese "salaryman".
Takuya must sacrifice the playtime usually associated with childhood for the responsibilities of an adult. Cooking, cleaning, sewing and scolding are all part of the young boy's life.
" All work and no play" has Takuya incredibly frustrated and resentful of his little brother. Will Takuya find it in his heart to love the brother who is causing him so much grief?!
Well, Minoru is incredibly cute, and Takuya is quite handsome. Oh yeah....did i mention that it is a comic? heh. Life is so fragile, and you just don't know when or how one of your family members may just get knocked down by a car, and you will have to take care of your baby brother for the rest of your life, or at least until he grows up. It justs makes me feel as if I haven't been treasuring my sister enough. Yeah sure, she may be difficult sometimes, she may make me feel like banging my head on the wall. But, who am I to say that?? I'm sure I was like her once, if not, then just a little less naughtier....
Sometimes, I really wish that my sister was a small baby once again, she was so adorably cute!!! She still is, but that time I could just carry her in my arms, and cuddle her warm body against mine...that's how chubby she was! Yeah, of course I can still carry her now....haha, but she was sooo cuddly when she was young!!!!! However, she was extremely mischievious! haha....the terrible twos.....I kind of miss them.
Now, back to the happy stuff!!! I recently went for a Formula One simulator driving competition. It was great! Haizz....I came out in second place. Guess what, the first place guy beat my time by only 1 second!!!!!! Never mind, it was a fun and a fruitful experience for me. Now my father keeps on calling me his champion and says that I have racing in my blood....eeee....Here are some pics.
Haha....I know I know....I'm short....
It's....it's a real Formula One car!!!!!!
It is me in the driver's seat.....some call it the "hot" seat....
I think I'm developing a habit of hitting my head on the bus ceiling, the new buses i mean. Aren't new buses supposed to be safer?! Then why are the ceilings at the back soo low!!!! Grr....
I just realised lately, that my body is a little weird...
I can wiggle my ears, my left arm muscle seems bigger than the right, and that's just a few....
Lots of people have asked me questions like these recently: Why do you love video games? Why don't you ever wear skirts?
Sure, I'll admit that I'm not a stereotypical girl, but I still have a girly side!
I love playing with dolls! ( when they are action figures )
Ok ok....I hate pink too! I never wear skirts or dresses!
I love to read! ( especially when they are comics )
I can get emotional sometimes.....
I like to point out cute guys too! ( especially when they are soccer players )
I love baking! ( but I usually end up eating more than I bake )
I love strawberries and coffee!!!!!!
I'm gonna end off now....I just can't believe my friend's score on Word Challenge on facebook. She got a score of 34522, which is an anagram cyborg....Whereas, I only have a score of 13060, which is a lawyer....boo.
Alrighty then, Bye bye!!!!
