I love to watch Japanese dramas especially those lovey-duvey plots, and ‘PRIDE’ is I like the most. Owing many thanks to Bobo, who have many collections at her condo, including Korean ones (Korean drama so far, I like ‘Save your last dance for me’). Salute salute to her…a full time J-K-Pop fan. Just name it, she have ‘em all! Almost.

Why I love Nihongo drama? Well, their stories are very simple & straightforward. 8 discs complete one drama. So standardly done, haha. It’s always interesting to know that each scene has a link or two, direct & indirectly to another. And that kind of plots that make you want more, MORE! Of course, it will be double the excitement to see my fave actresses & actors in there.

Last week, got this new assignment Kinda excited. And in order to sell the idea, one must know the product very well. That’s what marketer preacher often said. So I brought these piles of books, Chocolat graphic novels, seven altogether. One expression, WOW!

Sugoii! I’m impressed. Reading them is exactly the feeling of watching another Jap drama. So amazing as the delivery so welly done. So I read and read and read before my bedtime. One book, one night, just like the drama… it took slightly an hour plus to finish one episode. The ending of the story is so sober, and I can feel the tears are already waiting to wash down my face. Just as the first & second tears about to flow as I flipped to the next page… the tears still have their way. But the mood had instantly change to blissful one, where everyone lives happily forever. Aahhh… so pleasing as though they are real.

And guess what? I found a matching snack to complement Chocolat! This Ichigo Cyoko nibble… so yummy! (ooops… forgotten to snap the chokoreto, given to ppl liow *sob* zannen ne)

p/s: If you also interested in what I’ve read… you can get ‘em at www.gempakstarz.com or at major bookstores. I’m not trying to be hard sell ok…. Hehehehe… cheers \(^_^)/

This was the weirdest pickup I ever encountered. It was last Wednesday partying at Thai Club. This guy from next table came across and befriended us. And he managed to scoop some info about me, myself…. Thanks to Ms. PC, for her greatly unwanted assistance.

Openly & frank, I’d describe this chap as. He told me he’s 37 years old, and he runs bars & restaurants in Finland. He only came back twice a year ‘coz his mum is here in Subang. He came back to look for wife, none-Amor (mat salleh). Otherwise the mum will be having chicken & duck talk with her in-law. He’s Hakka and I’m Cantonese Fried. He tells me what a good cook her mum is, that she’s very good at making the Hakka dishes especially the ‘jar yuk’. He even invited me to try his mum dishes if I’m available the next day. Better still for his mum to approve her son’s chosen one. But then again, this would be disrespectful to me, someone who only know him less than hours. He admitted.

He asked lots of questions, trying to know more about me. He complimented that I’ve a beautiful nose (whatttt a joke….). He even asked if I have plenty of annual leave from my company ‘coz he would like to buy & send me air tickets to have holidays in Finland whenever I feel like to, at the same time showing up in front of him since he hardly come back to Malaysia.

Wow!! Isn’t it alluring? Many would have fallen for this kind of proposal. Well, especially nowadays the women of the millennium that have been labeled as the money-minded maidens. He doesn’t want me to waste my phone bill for long distance calls, and if I’m for real, he will call me. But I kept my number safely intact. And so he went to get Ms. PC’s number. Unless I have another greatly unwanted favor from her again….I’ll be in hot soup!

He watched every moment as I was there. At one time I almost wanted to leave; he came over & said never should I leave without a ‘bye’ to him. To promise him that I’ll never walk-off without bidding farewell to him… (I suppose he still hasn’t given up getting my cell). I squeezed into center of my group, to have the guys as my Great Wall of China away from him… and not long after that, I left safely accompanied by friend.

Is he real or a liar? I really have no idea. But,…this would be a very funny unforgettable approach that have scare me away…. Phew! Relief, relief… prays hard that I won’t get a ring for his proposal again.
