Liverpool signed 16-year-old Swede Astrit Ajdarevic, and a couple other players whom I don't know. I just hope that the young signings would be able to improve under Benetiz and his assistants and bring liverpool to another level in the future.

I just finished watching One Litre of Tears (1リットルの涙, Ichi Rittoru no Namida). It is a Japanese television drama for Fuji Television about a girl who was diagnosed with a disease called Spinocerebellar Degeneration when she was 15 years old, and was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25 years old. The plot is based on the true story of a Japanese girl named Aya Kito ( July 19, 1962 - May 23, 1988), who had the same disease. She kept writing in her diary to remember her experiences until she could no longer hold a pen. Aya simply wished to live until the end of her life, and the purpose of writing in the diary was to remind herself to not give up. She shed tears many times, at the same time encompassed by the rich love and support from her family and friends. Her diary 1 Litre of Tears was published shortly before her death. It encouraged many people, healthy or diseased, because of its inspiring and courageous messages. As Aya wrote, "Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing." (Wikipedia)

The show was very touching. It kept making me cry. I think I cried for every episode. It's so sad yet inspiring. Thomas recommended me this show. Indonesia plagiarized this show by producing "Buku Harian Nayla" (Nayla's Diary). However, the production house didn't state that the story was adapted from "One Litre of Tears" and they claimed that it was their own production. Surprisingly though, Fuji TV did not comment on this.

It's snowing now. Why does it snow on Saturday this past 2 weeks? I still have to go to work!!! I don't know if Sung is willing to drive me to work. Yup, he finally got his car. On Thursday, work was boring. There's only 4 of us working and most of them are way senior than me. So we didn't really talk much. It's better on Saturday, I think, at least there's Becky and Bishan. Then there's this Jap girl who's a junior. She's the one who taught me how to put the ingredients and stuffs on my first day of work and she's working on Thursday too for about 8pm. I don't really like her. I feel that she's rather impatient with me. I mean I'm still unsure of what i was supposed to do. I was assigned to cut the sandwiches. So when there's no sandwiches to cut, I was unsure if i should help the others making pizza or not. Some people don't like to be helped so being a newbie, I don't really want to offend my senior. But apparently, the Jap girl taught that I was not initiative enough and said to me coldly," you can help him make pizzas if you have nothing to do". I don't know if that's the way she talks to other people. Anyway, at least this job was so much better than the housekeeping job! But for some reason, i feel that i learnt more things being a housekeeper. I learnt how to make the bed the hotel style, cleaned bathroom( i've never cleaned bathroom till I got the job!), and interact with some of hotel guests. For this job, true I learnt how to make pizza, but the dough was pre-prepared and all i have to do was to put sauce, cheese, and the ingredient together.
