Yotsuba! よつばと!




i read lots of manga, more than i read any fiction books.
i learnt my traditional chinese from reading Doremon by the Taiwanese publishers.

i'm glad that they have translated so many japanese manga into chinese text.
don't really like the english version, kind of funny reading it. A reads the same manga as me, almost... so we actually have some titles in 2 versions - chinese and english.



particularly i love Yotsuba (よつばと! 四葉) by Kiyohiko Azuma. She also created Azumanga Daioh, another cute and funny manga.

i love Yotsuba for its pure and innocent nature. you sensed a smile from within when you read it. somehow, they reminded me of R&R's way of life and behaviour. the questions and feelings Yotsuba had are what we used to have when we were younger, perhaps, or something that some of us may still be keeping within ourselves.



here's a link to sample the manga (in english)

breaking apart

day 1: my right wrist gave way.
day 2: my head exploded.
day 3: the cramp pierced through my body and hit my back.

i stayed away from the computer
but am aware of the work piling up
my inbox blinking with red bar

at least my phone stop beeping.

what can i do?

the other day C said to me that she felt she's at the bottle neck, exploding, in urgent need to clear off something on the top, otherwise she will burst.

we are all that.

exhausted.

very much.

the door closer

Finally the Gallery is done up, completed.
then followed by the miscellaneous touch-up here and there.

Last week, someone in office informed me to replace the door-closers the contractors have removed during the construction of the gallery. i replied that we don't need them and can't put them back as they are in the way for the panels - thus the removal.

i was then asked to have it install back still, because some people have complained that the door have been accidentally left open and the buzzer goes off. as i recalled, there is but only 1 person that uses those room most often. by saying most often, is also just twice per day at the most. then i was told that so-and-so and so-and-so also complained.

Sigh.

long before we have door-closer, we have ourselves to always make sure we take an effort to close the door behind us. with convenience such as this, people became lazy. when the device is removed from them, they can't remember how to make an effort.

anyway, i was too busy last week to have this place anywhere in my to-do list.
then i saw someone had some workers coming in to fix it back one day. they'd better not damage the newly done up gallery.

tsk tsk.

1000 journal


I've got a copy of the journal after it's been published. I was on the waiting list to get it so that I can also write on it, but it didn't come :(

now they are making a film of it.... how amazing that a little book travelled around the world, made it back and carried a whole lot of feelings by different strangers, people, lives, and a whole lot of nonsense too... but a great deal of art in it. :)

maybe i could start one to go round the school, see if it ever comes back to me.... haha.
