Nice Little Escape

----------

A few weekends ago, some of my closest friends joined my family and me on a little getaway.  We booked an overnight stay at Retreat & Training Centre of Siar Beach, Lundu.  I'm glad that we took some time out despite our piling assignments and upcoming midterm tests back then.  I felt like we really needed to unwind for a short while.

Before checking in at the resort, we stopped by at Lundu Town to have lunch.  We also visited the park for a short while.

Taking a stroll along the beach was calming and refreshing.

My friends and I played soccer at the sand-field provided there.  It was all of us girls against the goalkeeper.



During our BBQ session, we made a surprise birthday celebration for two of our friends.

 After an overnight stay, we checked out with tired bodies but happy faces.

I hope that there will be more chances for getaways like this to take place in the future.  It's refreshing, fun, and uplifting.

I Wonder What Kind of a Trip It Will Be

Ja...I'm done packing. Will only bring one luggage containing only my clothes. Thinking of bringing the flat iron along. It can still fit. I'll pack that tomorrow...or today..together with my other stuff. Enjoying Arashi's videos and songs. Chooooo daisuki daiyo!

May we have a pleasant journey and good times. See you soon!

A Few Days Break

Yatta! I just got back from my last class for this week. The next class will be on the coming Monday. Now I can breathe more peacefully. Just a few no-class days. But there will still be a blood bank seminar next week. I tell you this...our group is going to ROCK IT!!! The proper way, of course. Dakara...ganbaru yo ne, minna! Yosh!

Sent Reb to the airport just now. The 2 PM class was like a party-pooper. Last minute change. Anyway..way over now. Need a little nap. Then my notes need to be re-organised. Exam is coming again.

Don't Have Too Much Fun Till I Get There

I'm back from sending my family off at the airport. I'll be joining them with grandma this Thursday. I've got my pocket money and the car all to myself but my destination after that was nowhere else but home. Straight home! How ironic! Assignment, lab report and seminar presentation are waiting to be completed. And I'll be having classes tomorrow. What the...?!! right? Anyway, I think I should make a list of Christmas gifts that I plan to buy for my family and friends. Once I have the list, I can go on and search for the stuff in the nick of the time. It might be the quickest shopping trip I'll ever make. Hopefully!

Rudolph, the Red-Nose Reindeer in Japanese

English (Original):

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose;

And, if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

The one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say,

"Rudolph, with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee,

"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer you'll go down in history!"

Japanese:

Makka na ohana no tonakai-san wa 真っ赤なお鼻のトナカイさんは

Itsumo minna no waraimono いつもみんなの笑いもの

Demo sono toshi no kurisumasu no hi でもその年のクリスマスの日

Santa no ojisan wa iimashita サンタのおじさんは言いました

Kurai yomichi wa pika pika no 暗い夜道はぴかぴかの

Omae no hana ga yaku ni tatsu no sa おまえの鼻が役に立つのさ

Itsumo naiteta tonakai-san wa いつも泣いてたトナカイさんは

Koyoi koso wa to yorokobimashita 今宵こそはと喜びました

If Only My Christmas Wishlist Could Really Come True

Let's pretend that I get this once-in-a-blue-moon chance to get whatever I want for Christmas this year. ^^ I know it would only happen in my dreams whatsoever but let's pretend, K? These would be the things that I'd ask for.

Well, that's about it for now. I'll see if I can think of something more. Happy holidays, you all! Not that I (and my other course mates) have holidays. Ah...suck it up, right?! Blood bank visit at the hospital tomorrow.
