A tribute to my study friends!

Good Morning!

I have been thinking in the past few days, that I have an extremely good life. I thank dear Jesus for that, and also my dear loved ones and friends.

For the purpose of the title, I would like to give my thanks to the friends that have been there in my study time. The study journey I undertook was smooth sailing for me up to my secondary school days =p I kinda flunk in my JC time, but was revived in my Stansfield days! I have now landed in a good job, so no complain (except for the darn office politics! which I guess abounds in every other office, so really.. no complain ^^)

Kinder garten up to SMP 3 in Indonesia, I would like to present the tribute to... *drum rolls* NOBODY!!! fufufufu.. not because I hate my friends or what.. it's just that we practically never study then.. hohoho.. so i can only say thanks to friends that have been playing hard with me.. hahaha... some that I remember Dinda, Ane, Punti, Abigail, Ruth, Belle, Shinta, Bonnie, Uthan, one short guy really a good friend now totally can't remember his name it start with an S =p sorry kiddo (I think it's Stephano =p), Andy, Albert and blah blah blah that I cant remember now.. I really had a great time.. and I have lost contact with all of them.. If any of you know them.. tell them that I miss them terribly and God bless them abundantly for giving me such good memories! We studied in SMP strada st. anna, and we are born around 1980 to 1981 hehehe... One time, we run away from school and abigail (age 14 then) was driving us around town... *whisper* my mom dun know about that till now... (don't tell her.. *pinkie promise*) =p at times we ran out from school just to go n eat bakso! miss you guys...

Preparatory course in Singapore.. a tribute to ta-da... no surprise, no one again.. hahaha.. never study.. was having good time with Erna, Lita, Natalia, and a bunch of indonesian and thailand friends (there were two little thai boys that was really close friends with us, but can't remember their name ^^) and all the ppl in 33 Devonshire rd! We do things together like skate, rollerblade, sleep late, wake up late for exams (gahhh.. flunk my Nan chiau entrance exam, coz never attend -_-") and most important of all.. spend the money our parents give us! hahaha.. love u guys...

Sincere apology to myself, my lecturers Mr. Physics (forget the kind guy name.. he was my library mentor also), Ms. Joyce (I think, or maybe Joy) Mr. Ho, Mr. Chu, Mr. Auyang, and the 2 GP lecturer that made me write 2 article reviews per week... =p and my friends from 99s14 and 99s5 that try to help me.. I apologize on behalf of the lazy bum in me... *sob sob*

Year 1 UOL programme.. stansfield college.. TRIBUTE! definately deserve one! Keagan, Chen Boon and Zann and also shijian.. I also have our studying photo below.. They practically drag me out of home early in the morning to late at night.. we can be found in empty classrooms, library study rooms or McDonalds from January 2002 up to June 2002 every monday to friday 9am to 10pm. We were those seat hoggers that you hate! Hehehe... But, I did well for my first year exam because of the constant nagging and dragging me around the paper, pencils and erasers... -_-"

Year 2! Tribute to Yiyi (My ex-roomates), Ruihong and Andrew.. Venue were then changed to Our (yiyi and me) home.. We studied in that dark dingy dining room or the pool side.. It was quite fun... and am a major distraction.. everybody want to study, and all i wan was eat and chat... again.. gomenasai... We were eating quite a lot of snack then.. hahaha.. the highlight of the days were going out for dinner before coming back to study.. kekeke..

Year 3! Tribute!!! to my boyfriend Zhao Shijie.. hehehe.. we mostly studied at his place... we always ate supper... eat late night porridge nearby his house, or we would walk to mustafa (it opens 24hrs!) to buy snack.. hahaha.. but everything went well.. We both graduate with a reasonable result ^^

There goes my study journey!! fun filled days of my life! Gracias! Wishing all the best for all of you! I have now started the "Journey of A Working Adult" I hope in a few years time, i will be able to write tributes to great colleagues and hopefully bosses and subordinates.. hahaha...

Addio!

Manga and me.. Part 1 - Candy candy and Mary-chan

We have long history.. Dated back to when I was six or seven years old..

I am now 24 years old (should I be happy or wat??? -_-") and am still addicted to manga.. The worst thing is I cannot remember what I learn in school last year, but I can totally remember the story of "Candy-candy" that I read 17 years ago! OMG! that's such a long time ago..

A re-cap: candy grow up in orphanage with anne.. anne was adopted by rich family.. nobody wants candy coz she is very unlady-like.. then blah blah blah.. she met anthony, stear and archie.. they have great times together.. I really like their three gates.. hehehe.. then anthony and her were in love with each other, unfortunately... *sob sob* anthony died in a hunting accident.. that was volume two.. I was utterly dismayed by then... T.T then she was adopted by this William guy which later turn out to be the same person with albert.

It was a long story.. but the most memorable incidents that is etched in my memory are:
1. Candy met young Albert near the orphanage
2. Candy met the Anthony that look totally like young Albert (I think Albert is anthony's uncle or something like that)
3. Anthony died *CRY BIGTIME*
4. They go to the school
5. Anne pretend she didn't know candy
6. Candy meet Terry
7. war time - Stear died *sob sob* I remember the time when he gave candy the musical box.. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............
8. Suzanna appear - broke up with Terry gahhh...
9. Candy taking care of Albert
10. One idiotic cousin of Anthony (forgot his and his sister's name -_-") trying to force candy into marrying him.
11. Albert appear as the hero...
12. Candy remember that she saw Albert when she was six years old... (Event no.1)

Tadaaa... it all came to full circle.... It kind of ends just like that.. but i honestly hope that things work out between them.. (I start to sounds like a lunatic) I know that they do not even exist in the first place.. but come on.. They are my best friends.. Those events were very real in my memory...

When the mangaka draw a full page for one event, with the flowers and the sun rays shining in the background with every little details taken care of, I will totally get absorbed in it... I do feel like am a little insane at times..

when i was little, I can draw those ballet's manga pas de deux perfectly with the face of the balerina tilted proudly and the knee length socks and sometimes the beautiful leotard... BUT.. I have lost those drawings! darn....

those ballet manga was one of my favourites... remember the mary-chan series?? yah those are the ones.. hehehe... mary and the akiras and satorus.... huehuehuehuhe... I think the mangaka totally love the name satoru and akira =p

I can no longer remember the names of so many of the mary chan series but if u guys remember, there is this story on the ballet they have to perform; Hagoromo... woah... It's so beautiful... Then there are other performance like swan lake..

Hmm.. come to think of it, I have learn a lot of things from manga...

Anyway, here is the link to an anime ranking made in Japan.. Candy candy (manga from the 70s) was ranked in the 21st out of 100 in the year 2005!

Isn't it fantastic?? hehehe...

Anyway, here is a list of memorable manga and anime that was with me in my extremely early age:
- Candy candy
- unending series of Mary chan
- Min min
- Panic
- Dragon ball
- Doraemon
- Pank Ponk
- Seven Magic Flower
- Pansy (an all time favourite ^^)
- Kung Fu Boy
- Saint Saiya (I can only remember Anthena and Saiya and one more long hair slightly green aura terribly handsome and mature guy -> forget his name -_-")

I'll continue on other manga on another day!
