Where do I start? *laugh*

Perhaps to begin, I should say that I finally have the chance to breathe now… at this very moment as I’m typing this post. I’m exhausted but happy. Happy to be back in Tokyo, happy that I had a very productive week in KL (although very draining! *laugh*), happy that my computer is up and running now (it crashed on me last week), happy that I will be seeing some of you on the 24^th, and happy that I’m still alive, sane and well. *laugh*

I’m not sure if I should begin by telling you about the horrifying loss of all my data when my notebook crashed or whether I should tell you what the doctor said about my perpetual headache/migraine for the past 2 months. *laugh*

Why don’t I start with the pics from mum’s birthday? Hehe. Thanks for your well wishes on her birthday guys! *smile* We had a cake galore after I got off work that night so it was a really nice treat. Hehe.

Oh and speaking of treats, although I didn’t get to indulge in as much local Malaysian food as I had initially planned to (I spent an average of 5 of 7 nights eating my consolidated daily meal of McDonalds and KFC at 4.30am *laugh*), I did have the pleasure of ta-paoing (take-away) the Bangsar Seafood Village butter crabs which lasted me 2 good meals! *laugh* Talk about being economical. *laugh*

Our intimate press conference on the 5^th went well although I missed some of you… :-p

…thanks to the resourcefulness of some of our online family members. Hehe. BTW, can any of you tell me how I can get a physical or a scanned copy of the Sun’s writeup? I missed it and being a free paper, it was impossible to get a copy at the end of the afternoon…

Anyhoo, before I forget, I wanted to tell you the good news I received about Dipak from Manu San today. He’s up and recovering well, praise God! *smile* Thank you again guys for praying for him and for all your kind words of encouragement since my 1^st post on him. It means a lot and you definitely made the difference. *smile* Gonna bug Manu San tomorrow for a picture of Dipak since none of us have actually met him. Would be nice to put a face to the name ya? *smile*

Today I went for my first lesson of the new semester at the Japanese language school. A total nightmare since I had missed the start of the course when I was in KL last week. I have tonight to finish up the bulk of homework, catch up on lessons and prepare for a consolidated kanji test (supposed to be today but the teacher was kind enough to give me a day to self-study and cram what I had missed before I took the test *smile*). Pray for me k! Hehe.

I think my goal for this week would be to catch up on the sleep I missed out on last week (on top of everything else *laugh*) since I was medically warned to put serious thought into making lifestyle changes if I value my life. *laugh* 2 out of the 2 doctors I consulted last week advised me on the same thing. Guess what my diagnosis was? *laugh* You won’t believe it la.. *laugh* It was Chronic Stress which is apparently causing my perpetual migraine pains. No fancy medical jargons. Just plain Chronic Stress. And the doctor’s prescription? At least 7 – 8 hours of sleep daily and rest. *laugh* I think I’ll get started after the upcoming kanji test. *laugh*

Oh well, I gotta do my best so we’ll see…hehe. I’ll continue the rest in the next post k. Still have the “ANGEL” media brief pics and those from the pool-side shoot I did with one our local mags to share with you. *grin* Meantime, I have a million things to sort out now. Boo-hoo-hoo… But since my computer is all set and ready to be used now, I thought I’d ‘open-ceremony’ by saying hi to you in this post… only because I miss you. *smile*Hope you had a good weekend and a great start to this brand new week ahead. *smile* Back to work for me, so see you in the next post!!!! Mwah!!!
