This was what caught my eye – well honestly, the cover illustration, then the entire concept – while I strolled through the Japanese section’s bookshelves at Kino today.
Rental Children tells a story about, based on what I understood from having read the summary, “Taishi and Fuyumi, a couple who had lost their beloved son Yuu to an illness, were introduced to a children rental/sale company P.I. and from the list, they decided to purchase Yuu without hesitation. However, a month later, the child experienced a sped up aging process; his face kept dissolving.. In a bid to find out the truth, Taishi sneaks into the P.I. laboratory to realise of a terrible experiment being repeated day and night.”
I know it’s quite irrelevant; but I totally adore the drawing style 8D
Having not been out shopping for the longest time, I took the chance to visit a dozen places in the afternoon to conveniently attempt to satisfy my food cravings (but that being actually satisfied, or not, is another story); strike out items on my shopping list; observe the sights (new buildings? huh) and sounds before I forget how town looks like again; check out new magazines and books around Kino; collect something from school and meet Grapes for dinner.
It’s no wonder why my previous ezlink top-up didn’t last for more than a day.. Home > PS > Cathay > Ion > Taka > Tampines > Boon Keng > Vivo > Ang Mo Kio > home. At this rate I’d probably covered a good third/half of Singapore, BUT I’ve fulfilled my agenda for the day so I’m not complaining.
Daily work has taken a toll on the well-being of a certain woman by the name of i-like-the-guy-whose-looks-make-esther-foam-at-the-mouth-and-die. (no, really, that I will NEVER approve. neverrrrrr) But I love hanging out to kill what’s left of her after-work time and commenting on different brands of facial wash and asking for extra honey sauce for our Japanese parfait <3 Weekdays aren’t too bad, afterall.

We’ve (almost) officially ended our 4-month long FINAL YEAR PROJECT. What’s left for half of us is the presentation this week to the external examiner from overseas, though we already did to a local ee and our course lecturers. Time passed exceptionally slowly, it seems now, that within a 4-month period so many things happened in a flash. Ironic I know. Well it did speed up when submission was near, and there was just not enough time at all. I’m glad – with addition to furrowed brows, clenched teeth, sleepless nights and mornings, depressed thoughts, cramping hands from long hours of holding the mouse and typing, hurting knees due to too much sitting, massive headaches and backaches and all – it is over, and I am certain this is not even exaggerating what we all went through.
We… made it, somehow :)
I’m making my longest to-do list ever (longer than yours WJ haha) and will relish the taste of being absolutely free from school work for a long time to come. Meanwhile, congratulations to everyone – diploma showcase and graduation is near.
