Found!


Last monday I wanted to buy the Yoshi toy in Mini Toons...and when I specially went back to Cineleisure to buy it, its all sold out! They mentioned that new stocks would probably come in at the end of the month..



Today..after work, I alighted at Tiong Bahru as I remembered that there's a Mini Toons or More than words branch in TB plaze..


Went down to try my luck..and after looking around...............


I finally saw last 2 yoshi toys!!


heehhee.

Very happy.

$15.90 for one.


I can't believe I like to collect such things at my age..maybe when I'm 50 years old..I'd probably have a special room to store my toy collections.

I realised that..there's certain things you use to enjoy doing when you were in poly or secondary school..the feeling doesn't feel the same anymore if you do it now...

maybe its cos I've passed that phase of the life to do those things..

Everyone has to grow up.

Or maybe its cos I'm someone who knows very well what I wanna do....thus if being put in the situation where its not something I'd do..the feeling is not good.

Its an experience though.

The best thing about being with your best buddies is that you're able to just hang out and talk about anything without inhibitions.

They're people whom you trust the most apart from your loved ones and family.

They are those you can have crazy fun with.

Was housekeeping my old photos..and found some which brings back the most memories.

Here they are:

Come this November...the place that I've been waiting for the past 18 years!

Every year I have this conversation with my pop..

When I was 6 years old,

Me: "Pop, when can we go Japan for holiday? I wanna see Mickey mouse.."

Pop: " No problem.. next time we can go.."


(next year came)

Me: "Pop, this year go japan for holiday?"

Pop: " we'll see how ....think next year.."

.

(10 years later at the age of 16)

Me: "Pop, this year lets all go japan okok???"

Pop: " ok, next year we can go.."


this continued for many years...forgot what reasons he mentioned..but it always includes something along the line of.." next year we'll see how.."


(When I started working in year 2005)

Me: "Pop, wanna go Japan this year?"

Pop: " you just started work..allowed to take so many days of leave..? will plan for next year instead.."


In year 2006

Me: "Pop, go Japan this year har....?"

Pop:" this year your mom and I going Hainan Island..next year we'll go ok.."


Early this year 2007.. I tried again..

Me:"wanna go japan this year? Visit Disneyland!"

Pop: " this year ok, we can go.. after I retire.."


And then we finally booked the trip last week! muahahahaa..~!!

Pops don't lie, and perserverence pays off.

hehehhe..Its not an all expenses paid trip ..I'll be paying for my share of the trip now that I'm working.

But still, I feel as excited! 11 weeks and 4 days to go.

Tokyo Disneysea! and Disneyland!


I wanna see Tigger live in action!
