Back from Japan~ (since two weeks ago ^^; ) Am happy with the trip and (though there were some unhappy moments - it seems to be included in the package of travelling with me >>) had a good time on the whole. This time's was
( happy ramble behind cut )
Jul is also a new financial year for my company. 1 month bonus and promotion to "senior". That means I'll be involved in planning and leading teams and directly liaising with the engagement manager for the average, smaller engagement. I may still play a team member role for the bigger engagements. From 1st July, I got my first "TIC" (team-in-charge) engagement. I'm lucky that the manager for that engagement is approachable and I had been there as a team member before, but there are still a lot of new things that I'm slowly working my way through, and I'm busier than expected. Haha. Well, wish me luck.
Nowadays, been playing Gyakuten Kenji (which I somehow started playing during that 3 hour++ train ride back to Tokyo on Alpine Route day) (Edgeworth ♥~) and trying DW (borrowed from Shiy) on PS2 - I think I do suck at fighting games, I keep dying. >> But current status - yeeea, finally cleared Zhao Yun's story! XD Still on pangya (season 4~). Watching the GS takarazuka musical - enjoyable (I like the Phoenix and Edgeworth, and am generally impressed by the way the ladies play male roles - takarazuka virgin here XD) but I don't like Leona Clyde (Phoenix's girlfriend character, and a completely unnecessary addition!) |

[Jun. 3rd, 2009|12:54 am] |
Actually, I was back from China last weekend. >_> Plunged into work and catchup of leisure activities. Overall, it was a very pleasant trip. We had a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide (eek! that reminds me, I still haven't emailed her the photo we took with her yet! ><), and there were a couple of interesting people in our group who provided entertainment. XD The hotel was great~ It's been a while since I last stayed in such a nice hotel with those comfy comforters as bed covers and big fluffy pillows and a bed you practically sink into~! And a decent buffet breakfast~~~... I don't usually squander on luxurious accomodations when I go free and easy (more like, anywhere with a clean bed and bathroom would do) and all. I want to have one of those type of beds at home too in the future! Though it's too hot in Singapore, and I don't like sleeping with an air-con on much... (When I was in primary school, I think, the first time I stayed overnight at a friend's place was a pretty horrible experience. Besides crying for my papa (cough), I couldn't sleep because of the aircon. v_v) But where there's a will, there'll be a way! Anyway, my dad and I bought more stuff than I had expected. And I'm sad I can't bargain well. >>; But I think we had a good time on the whole. And I'm happy. ^__^ I hope my dad thinks so too. He was saying that as Chinese, we had finally came to the land of our ancestors. So at least, hopefully, it was a memorable experience for him.
Japan is in the plans next - towards late/end June with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) angixcia. Air tickets bought a while back, it seems now. Credit card points redemption promo something that seems relatively expensive now. Oh well. Still looking for accomodation though. Also monitoring the H1N1 situation. Buuut unless the situation downspirals in Tokyo, we should be going. So here's shouting out to my flist:
REQUESTS?
Especially you, sodiumion - I would love to return the favour you did me last time ♥ Did I even pay you yet? ._. Btw, how did you ship stuff back when you went? Post office? Don't think I'll buy that much, but just in case I go crazy? out of curiosity...
Doujinshi shopping-wise, limiting it to half a day, since Ann isn't into doujinshi. She'll be chasing down some Japan-only label at Ginza while I hunt for some Peony Jade at Ikebu? That's the plan anyway. XD
On other news, I decided to make an art journal~ > ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) doodle_ling I had enough of putting my art up here and there - here, at my fiction journal, at my website, at my rather dead deviantart account, elsewhere - that I don't quite know myself where exactly I have them at sometimes? Plus more than half my doodles don't see the rest of the world. So.... this journal will probably contain both fan and original art, incomplete and complete works - or maybe complete but looks incomplete anyway, and bouts of irresponsible spamming when I'm in the mood? >_> Something like that... |

Off to Beijing with my dad for a week! Guided tour cos my dad doesn't like free and easy. But I'm happy cos it's with my dad.
My mum's screaming at my dad over something about how he cooked dinner. Fully reminds me why I'm glad my dad is taking a break from my mum for this week as well. Appreciate that he even cooked dinner for you, man! (My mum won't be coming along. She gets tired too quickly to walk much - well... if you stay in the house, watching tv, most of your days, I'm guessing it's likely a natural result...)
Glad that Kris and Adam are going into the final 2~ (According to some blog of the results at least. Pity but I can't watch the results show aired tonight. I've been watching AI cos it's one of those shows that air late enough (10pm) even when I come back late from work. Haha.) I really was hoping that Gokey would be eliminated. :D The final 2's next week? Pity I'll miss it.
Anyway, dinner gobbled! Off I go to bring my hammies to Shiy's - Shiy is my hammie-sitter for the week I'm away! ♥ |

I AM IN ♥ WITH MY HAMMIES. They are sooo cute. I like watching them eat, watching them run around, holding them in my hand and feeding them and feeling their softness, sooo cuuute! >♥♥<
( WARNING, HAMSTER FANGIRLING >> )
angixcia had been telling me to watch the Skip Beat anime, even providing me with YouTube links (that effort was probably what guilt me (belatedly, since its run on TV has already ended) into giving it a shot). And I finally did last night (even though I lost the links and just went Google-ing ^^; ). I began a little cautious, wondering what it'll be like, since I'm not much of a romance anime person. But it turned out FUN. I LOVED it. I love Kyoko and her inner angels and demons from the start! XD Love her spunk, she's a great character.

I fell down when walking on Monday. Just walking along the pavement, roadside, maybe my feet were tired (I had been standing and photocopying stuff practically the whole day). I was hugging a stack of papers, so my elbow took the blunt of the blow (somehow, my knees were just barely grazed). T_T I was so stunned (the fall was too unexpected!) that I lay there a bit, plastered to the floor, registering that I fell, maybe a little too long >> cos there were these 3 nice ladies who stopped to ask if I was ok and helped me up. It wasn't hurting too much at first, but when I went to wash my wound, once the water touched it, it damn hurt!!! And then I saw the blood. And I cried. A taxi uncle was very nice btw, cos I was wondering whether to wash my wound at the toilet in the nearby petrol kiosk or wait till I reached home, and asked the uncle if he could wait for me. I thought I took quite a while (with the crying and stuff too >>) and that he'd be gone when I came out, but he actually waited. Him and the 3 ladies makes me feel, there's still kindness in this world!! T___T (It's healing anyway, the wound. Had trouble bending my elbow (hurt too much) and lifting things with my right arm the first two days, but my arm can function normally now.)
I never did continue about playing the end for The World Ends With You eh?

Snagged from coil
I tried a few times, getting around 70+ or 80+, this was the best one. XD Actually, I think this was my second try and my results subsequently got lower so I stopped. The site is lying when they said you're supposed to improve gradually? Maybe my fingers got tired. I'm a sprinter, not a marathoner? - typing-wise.
85 wordsTyping Test Btw, eh. I do read my f-list, but sometimes don't know how to respond to stuff... *is becoming more and more an awkward person* Sorry if it seems I'm not there. |

Went with my cousin to the pet shops at Serangoon Gardens today to get more hammie stuff. Got another exercise wheel - a bigger one, which reclines XD and it seems to be used more as a bed and toilet than exercise wheel >> oh the noise when they do actually use it to run... um, you know shaking a can of beans? except this is um, spinning a wheel of poo bits? - and a gnawing stone (hmm), an exercise ball (haven't introduced (or cleaned) it yet) and two wooden hollow cube with holes - but there's not much space without a rearrangement so I haven't put that in either. Well, so far so good tonight. But they seem to be sleeping quite a bit? I still can't tell the two apart. My mum has decided to call them Ron and Ryan. But I don't want to call them Ron and Ryan. (I bet she can't tell them apart either anyway!) Anyway, no squeaking = good? Maybe they're too occupied with the new toys for petty squabbles. The only time I thought I heard squeaking, I rushed there to see one in the exercise wheel and the other in the sand bath house. Probably imagining it. (At least, I hope it's my paranoia than any more fighting.) Oh, I'm happy that they seem to like the food. I was a little worried that they wouldn't take to the type I got for them at first (since it must seem like a sudden change of diet). But this evening when I put food in their dish, they sat in their food dish eating (and making such a cute picture~ I will upload that one tomorrow!) and were so engrossed, they didn't even turn when I went ruffling through the bedding for leftover food from yesterday (to throw away). ^__^ Watching them makes me so happy~ |

| New hammies! |
[Apr. 27th, 2009|01:40 am] |
So I got my hamsters today (or technically, yesterday). ^_____^ Photos taken, upload later. They're brothers. And I totally can't tell them apart by look. OTL Their markings look exactly the same, I've been staring at them for a rather long time tonight. Well, I can only say that one seems to sleep more than the other. Temporary names: Sleepyhead and Runabout. This is what I notice of their behaviour to tell them apart: Sleepyhead's always sleeping, even at night, when Runabout is already scampering around. (I hope Sleepyhead isn't sick. D: ) Strangely, they like sleeping in the wheel/under the wheel/behind the wheel/ once, in the sand bath house, but not on the bedding or in the house. Runabout has problems with the exercise wheel. Or, he keeps getting thrown out of it - as in, when he runs and the wheel turns, he can't keep up with the spinning and gets spun out. Sleepyhead can run relatively steadily on the wheel. And sometimes I dunno if they're fighting or something. D: But there's squeaking, at first it was just rolling around in the sand bath house. Then I noticed that Runabout is chasing Sleepyhead and trying to nibble its mouth or something. D:? There's no blood. But it's happened a few times already, and Shiy mentioned just now that chasing is a sign of fighting as opposed to just playing? And it seems that Sleepyhead's always darting and is the one squeaking, and Runabout's chasing it. Anyway, I decided to keep them apart for tonight. I didn't have another cage prepared, so since Runabout's the aggressor, he gets the small carrier box they were brought home in. D: I'm sorry, it is terribly small, and I know you'd rather have space to run. But I don't want to risk seeing bloody (or worse) hamsters tomorrow morning. Please bear with it for one night, Runabout. I'm planning to get another wheel and bathhouse (the last time I caught them in the squeaking-fight was Runabout trying to get Sleepyhead off the wheel that only allows one of them to run at one time) tomorrow and try again. And well, if they still fight after that, I can put the second wheel and bathhouse into the separate cage that I'll need to have anyway. :(
ETA: I let Runabout back into their bin (because he was just chewing at the ventilation hole and it feels horrible to think that he'll spend the entire night doing that) and removed the exercise wheel (and so without the wheel, I can no longer tell them apart. - the one I thought was chasing the other later got chased. Idk man. I just hope they get along better now. No squeaking so far at least? Fingers crossed!)
Edit again: Just checked on them. They're now sleeping peacefully, cuddled together in the house. GOOD. |

| [ | mood |
| |  crappy | ] |
I'm sick with a fever, headache and cough and the office was too cold and I'm kinda aching somehow. I've been miserable the entire day trying to force myself to function while my head is heavy and all I really want to do is go home, curl up in bed and sleep. T_T (Suddenly got a sore throat that became a fever this morning? Real sudden. I was still perfectly fine when I went to bed last night.) Can't simply go home because the firm's partner in charge of the engagement is coming down for review of our work tomorrow, and we haven't finished our work yet. I guess it's pretty sad when your client seems more concerned about you being sick than your teammates - or perhaps it speaks of how sick our job is - it's all too common to simply trudge on even while you're running a fever. (This isn't the first time I've done it, but it's not making me any less miserable doing it.) Or maybe my senior didn't want to ask how I was doing because if I said I wanted to go home, it'd be awkward for her to say no. And she did need all the helping hands she could get to complete the work. Or maybe I've been too idealistic about work and these sort of things is why it's hard for colleagues to be true friends. |

WHOAWHOAWHOA! Wow. I've finally gotten to the end of TWEWY (though there's still the secret reports). I'm so glad I never encountered any spoilers about the end. O_O WHOA. (I can't help shouting even though it's the middle of the night... *cough* I was already shouting in a wth!? manner at the final boss -_- luckily I've my bedroom door shut and my parents don't seem to have woken up >> ) I'm still... a little confused about the very very end. Wonder if I can see it again just playing from the chapter... will try tomorrow. More thoughts tomorrow. *goes try out unlocking some secret reports* I seem to have got the pig noises for most chapters down. XD *Pig noise fanatic* |

| medical checkup and nice dinner |
[Apr. 10th, 2009|09:37 pm] |
(I realise that my last post was made in the wrong LJ. *cough* It's a ramble about playing The World Ends With You anyway.)
I went for my pre-operation medical checkup on Wed. The nurse took my blood pressure, then my height and weight - oh, during which, such an exchange took place:
Nurse: *reads numbers off scale* 153.5, 50
Me: *steps off machine* *pauses* Can we take my height again? I was previously 154.
Nurse: *takes measurement again* 154, 50
Don't laugh! If you were as short yet as heavy as me, you'd quibble about that 0.5cm too!! >_> Maybe? ...I still want to get to 40+ kg anyway. Though I probably have to start exercising first - for health reasons as well. D: (Even though I'm always saying that I want to lose weight, I am too lazy and like good food too much to do anything special about it. ><; )
After the height and weight taking, we went through routine questions about any drug allergies and updating whether I've any recent ailments. According to the doc/nurse, I'm relatively young, so I didn't need to take a blood test (PHEW). She then went on to inform me of the risks of my operation. I'll be undergoing general anaestasia and they'll be sticking a tube down my nose/throat to help me breathe during the operation. The tube may damage my throat and vocal cords temporarily but I'd recover in two to three months. And also, there exists the risks of permanent voice loss, nerve or brain damage, and fatal drug reactions leading to death - but such cases are (she emphasises) extremely rare. T_T I don't even remember thinking of such risks (or knowing the existence of that possibly voice-damaging tube) my last op. I'm not really worrying about it, there's no point doing so - if I'm really that unlucky, it can't be helped - but it adds on a little bit to that feeling of "this is why I really don't like operations". (I probably didn't feel this way towards my operation last time because of the feeling of novelty (it was more exciting because it was a new experience). Plus, this time I have the memory of the discomforts of recovery from my last experience.)
Anyway, I met up with angixcia and chrysan last night. We were originally going to Timbre for pizza and drinks, but Ann had to work late and we didn't make it in time for the last order for Timbre (10.30pm). So we ended up at a Japanese restaurant called Sun Dining (or something like that) at Chijmes which took orders till 11. Pretty, classy interior, there were some calligraphy-brush-strokes thingy on the walls, which I liked, and the service was good - when we entered, the place looked empty (well, it was past 10.30pm) and it felt like the staff - waiters and chefs, all turned their eyes upon us as we stepped in, but then, a waitress stepped up to welcome us with a smile and a cheerful, polite "a gentle reminder that our last order is 11pm" making us (me at least) feel much more comfortable - especially when compared to the poor service at Hog's Breath (whose waiters told us that we could still make it for the last order, then when we were sat and ready to order, said that the kitchen was close and we could only order appetisers and didn't even appear apologetic about it when we left). The prices were surprisingly alright - there were dishes that went to as high as over a hundred, but there were under $20s as well. Cool. I ordered a bowl of Hokkaido butter corn ramen, while Ann and Chrysan had steak with foie gras. And Chrysan and I shared tofu cheesecake. All tasted very good~♥ It's a place that I certainly wouldn't mind visiting again. ^^ |

| Engulfed in work |
[Apr. 1st, 2009|10:04 pm] |
I'm tired, really. I've been working and working, and haven't gone out for leisure activity with friends for the past 2 weeks - I'm too antisocial and had no one asking me to hang out on fridays or weekends, and work taking out my weekdays leaves me somewhat relieved to get some precious rest on weekends that I didn't try too hard taking the initiative to ask anyone to meet me. (What a contradictory person I am being. D: Would be happy to go out, happy to not go out, yet still am unhappy with whichever. orz)
I really need to lose my almost compulsive desire for perfectionism btw. OTL It's killing me at work. Seriously. Rather, I'm throwing away the time I should spend sleeping on pointless little things that I know probably no one else would notice. Especially when I'm such a general scatterbrain and make such noticeable mistakes out of carelessness or forgetfulness. >< And people tend to recall the bad more easily than the good.
Anyway MY FATHER GOT HIS NEW CAR. Can't remember how much I said about it before (my memory's atrocious D: even more so these days with my lack of sleep) but it's a Chevrolet Aveo in a beautiful shade of blue. (Pictures next time?)
Talking about cars, I found out some interesting things about car brands while listening to in-car-conversation involving my aunts and my parents last last Sun. According to my aunt, the Honda Concerto never saw good sales locally because the name "Concerto" sounds somewhat like "kong sih toh" which means "Company folds/collapses" in dialect. XD And she went on to give more examples - "Suzuki" sounding like "su su kih" which means "lose all away", or "Toyota", which when broken up - "toh" sounds like "collapse", "yo" sounds like "shake" (in the sense of shaky/unsteady), "ta" sounds like "dry" (leaving one high and dry) - but my aunt added that Toyota still sells well because it is known to be a good brand. I don't know how common these interpretations are, but I found them interesting. lol.
Edit: The ATM card that got swallowed by the AXS machine - I had to call AXS myself cos they never called me back. Then I was reassured that the card was safe - safely on its way to or perhaps already at a bank, for it was sent there, and I would need to go to a bank to get a new card. Ooook. Bank closes crazily early on weekdays. Fortunately, there's now a branch a station away from my house that stays open on weekends. So I got a sparkling new RED colour ATM card~ I actually am happy with the new look. (*cough* even if they might have changed it a long time ago... my old card was that old. The plastic was peeling off at the edges.) So, all's well that ends well with that little episode. |

| Hello, Friday the 13th |
[Mar. 13th, 2009|11:33 pm] |
My ATM card got swallowed by the AXS machine when I was paying my credit card bills. o_O Wth.
I will admit that my ATM card is getting old, and it occasionally gets rejected once or twice before being detected for the EZ link card top-up machine at the train station. But this was the first time a machine actually wouldn't give. it. back. And I didn't do anything but insert it - pressed no buttons, nothing - there was just the lit indicator light, and the AXS machine stating that there was an error in reading, and then, bye bye, card.
This was 10.35pm. I called the AXS helpline number that was on the machine, and was informed (by your friendly automated voice system) that the office hours were up to 10pm. A half hour too late, drat. This btw, is the card that I use to withdraw cash for everyday spending from my main bank account and pay for my cab rides (because some managers are fussy about the admin charges on the fare if we pay using credit cards). So, the machine prompted me to fill in a form and someone will contact me when my card is retrieved. D: Please call me soon. |

Doodling on my DS Lite on the journey to and from work today. Cos my earphones went missing T__T and it wouldn't be very nice playing games with background music on the train without using earphones right? (Otherwise I'd have been playing the game itself instead!) Drawing's a quiet, mindless (yes, I do need the mindless factor, especially after a day of work) and rather enjoyable activity.

Also, the Prop Plus Petit's Tales of the Abyss figurines look so cuuuute! :3
I was writing something about work and life, but I'm getting so sleepy, I don't even think I'm up to checking if I had typed gibberish (and wouldn't be surprised if I had). Off to catch up on sleep~ |

Still busy busy busy lately.
My father's getting a new car!! A blue (or else, silver) Chevrolet Aveo. It's on promotion and selling at 30k, which is very cheap for a car locally.) Our current one (a Kia Rio) was giving him problems with the locks anyway, and as long as my father's happy getting a new one, then I'm happy too~ I'm gonna learn driving after the peak and help out my father with being the family chauffeur!
Recently, (amid playing Professor Layton and the Devil's box (akuma no hako), which I can't quite play outside because I need a Japanese-English dictionary to decipher the questions before I can think of the answers ^^; ) I've been playing The World Ends With You on (long ago) recommendation of chrysan. Simply put, I love it. I like Neku (the guy we play) very much, enjoy the battle system, and am intrigued by the story so far. I like how sometimes certain things seem to reasonate with me, and how it makes me think about things. XD Oh, and the thoughts of the random passers-by are FUN~ Oh yea, I rather like the look of the white-haired guy who smirks in the opening movie, though I haven't met him yet. XD *isn't very far into the story* I look forward to finding out who he is!
This looks so cute btw. Released in Dec 2008 and they actually had a pre-order for it at one of thsoe Sunshine Plaza stores (as discovered from Google), why didn't I discover it earlier? D: Might have been tempted to buy... I wonder if they might still have leftover stock... D: |

Tomorrow's Chinese New Year! My parents and I are having STEAMBOAT tonight~! *twirls*
( CNY-related stuff: reunion lunch with family yesterday and shopping at the CNY market in Chinatown with CX last night )
On other news, I've been busy busy busy at work. Current client's real nice (pity we wouldn't go back next year) but chases us off at night as they have to lock the office, and so, we have to do work at home (= no OT D: )
Also, my latest mobile phone accessory buy~ (I only have one other actually...)
A rice burger strap from Mos Burger (which costs $3 or comes free when you get $30 worth of vouchers - I chose the latter XD cos the vouchers had no expiry date and I fairly like Mos Burger). Though it's not pink, because of the R, I'm calling it "Ryuuichi~". Let's have fun together, Ryuuichi~ Hmm, I never did name my other phone accessory (the mushroom) eh? D: It's just "Mushroom" or the "Maple mushroom" (cos people say it looks like the mushroom monster from Maplestory - though I don't know if it was meant to be that, I just got it as a random mushroom accessory from Tokyu Hands when in Japan some years back).
I've finished Professor Layton and The Curious Village. Tried it a long ago, but only recently picked it up again and truly played. I love it~! If you own a NDS and are a puzzle fan, it's a must-try! It's a collection of puzzles (over a hundred) with a story running through the game - some mysteries that you slowly unravel along the way. The story is makes the game stand out from the average puzzle game. That and the characters you grow to know, animation clips peppered throughout, and the lovely background music.

So for the record, last week was the latest I've worked overtime.
12am, 2am, 2am, 2am, 2am were the times I got off work for the entire week. And the start time doesn't change from 9 or 10am. I was completely drained by Friday. This week looks to be a little better. I came home at 8 today (I won't get my hopes up though, it's just the start of the week), and my parents went "you're so early!". XD
I recently heard from a friend who worked on an engagement with two interns from the German office that their salary is as high as a local senior's, i.e. my current pay is lower than an intern in Germany. ._. Is the cost of living so much higher there? Or is our pay just seriously bad? |

Today's the 1st official day of work since 2009 began (unofficial day was Sat >: ) and my team stayed past midnight at the client's office. Whooosh! Yes, folks. The Peak (i.e. busy period for us auditors, a.k.a. auditor killer) has begun. On the bright side, at least my current assignment allows us to claim some overtime leave for the extra hours (not all assignments have that benefit - effective hours, they stress). The reporting deadline's fast approaching on the 7th. And so, even if tomorrow may not be a better day, nor the day after tomorrow, the day following that will. be. better. I hope. (sun) |

Tomorrow is my father's birthday! I'm on leave tomorrow (I'm supposed to clear overtime leave this week and by luck and my planner's kindness (the "planners" are the people who book us on assignments in my company and mine is a very nice person who understands the special-ness of birthdays!)) and I have a grand plan to surprise my father!
You see, any one who knows me in real life (well, anyone who has been to my house at least >_>) will know how atrociously messy my house is. I confess that 80% of the mess is mine. AND SO! My grand plan is tomorrow is to spend the day tidying up my living room and bedroom while my father is at work!!! Hmm... It doesn't sound quite so grand like that. ._. But I am quite determined to produce visible results and I am certain my father will be pleased when he returns home from work! He has been telling me to throw away the things I don't need and tidy up the place for a very long time... I hope to report success tomorrow! |

I LOVE sodiumion who gave my dead laptop a new life, in a sense - it seems that the shattered monitor was the only problem and the laptop itself is still functioning fine (fingers crossed that I don't jinx it now that I say it ^^; ). Nat suggested that I connect my laptop to a PC monitor instead (which never occurred to me despite having two idle PC monitors in my room >>; heck, I even have a third reeeally old one, because I just don't throw my old computers away orz) and it woooooooorked~~ *twirls*
I happily updated my website (even though I never seem to get urges to update it when I actually can. haha ^^; ) and (finally) got a new guestbook~ (The last one was so overridden with spam messages that I had to delete it T__T - or rather, it was pointless keeping when I can't tell which were genuine in the sea of spam. Hope this new one stays!) Anyway, the guestbook's kinda eh empty at the moment (duh) so do leave me a message if you drop by my site anytime~
Changing an access password at work today, it occurred to me that if I have a history of all the passwords I've used before, I'll probably have a fairly good idea of what fandom I'm obsessed with at which point in time. >>; Yes, alas, I'm that unoriginal when creating passwords (doesn't help that the office one requires a change every x weeks/months and disallows use of the past 5 passwords or so) ^^; I'll have passwords like zukafuji or banginji (insert some number). It probably wouldn't be too hard to guess my latest one. XD |
