Postal surprise!




I woke up sleepily at 9am in the morning to collect the letters, and there was a rectangular bubble lined envelope from England.
"Oh? I didn't order anything from England...it seems to be a DVD." Maybe Amazon made a mistake..I once received another DVD free because they made a mistake.

I opened it and to my surprise...a gift from Nic! He had ordered it secretly with Renga as his accomplice.
yay!



The only computer game I've ever been hooked on to! THIS GAME IS AWESOME! It is totally hilarious. You are the manager of the hospital, and patients come in with all sorts of weird diseases. You hire doctors, specialists, researchers, cleaning staff. You insert toilets, sinks, rubbish bins, so that your hospital won't be littered with rubbish.
If you don't have enough toilets, your patients will have a little poo sign above their heads while waiting. You can also blast rats if you spot them running around.
The patients sometimes come in with "bloated head", "slack tongue" etc diseases..the doctor pricks their heads with a pin or cuts off their tongues, and they return to normal.

It is all really very funny! You feel that you really interact with the patients (unlike The Sims or Rollercoaster Tycoon) and everything is in a flurry, you need to treat them fast enough if not they die and a grim reaper collects their soul.

If you want to use cheat codes to get money to build everything easily, the loudspeaker blares "The hospital administration is cheating! The hospital administration is cheating!!" But of course you don't care and continue letting the $ roll.

I'm elated~!!!This game is almost 10 years old, I didn't know we could still find it..thanks Misters!

Je vais bien ne t'en fais pas





Just watched Je vais bien ne t'en fais pas
It's about a girl who comes back from her holidays and finds her twin brother has left home. Her father says that he left without a word because they had a huge row.

The girl looks for her brother's friend to see if she can have any news of him. No news, but the friend gives her a song that her brother wrote for her, named after her, Lili.

She falls into a depression, and almost dies. Suddenly she receives a letter, it's from her brother. Lili gets better and tries to track her brother, her only clue being the village names where the letters are stamped. Her brother always insults her father in the letters, saying that he is happy to be away from his dad. Each time she receives a letter, she reads them to her parents.

A year passes...Lili is still in search of her brother. She suddenly sees her father posting a letter into the letter box at the village where her brother is supposed to be. Her father has been the one writing the letters all along.


Her brother had died in an accident and her parents didn't want her to find out.


This is the mtv of the song that Lili's brother wrote for her in the film and became a hit after the movie was shown. It is by the music group Aaron.
The singer is totally drool-worthy...plus his gruffy intense voice...ompph!!




U Turn(Lili) by Aaron

Lili,take another walk out of your fake world

please put all the drugs out of your hand

you'll see that you can breath without not back up

some much stuff you got to understand



for every step in any walk

any town of any thought

i'll be your guide



for every street of any scene

any place you've never been

i'll be your guide



lili,you know there's still a place for people like us

the same blood runs in every hand

you see its not the wings that makes the angel

just have to move the bats out of your head



for every step in any walk

any town of any thought

i'll be your guide



for every street of any scene

any place you've never been

i'll be your guide



lili,easy as a kiss we'll find an answer

put all your fears back in the shade

don't become a ghost without no colour

cause you're the best paint life ever made
