正在慢慢享受《等一個人咖啡》，不捨得一次過把它拼完。可是不知爲什麽，終把阿拓的樣子想成刀桑的樣子。我腦袋真沒禮貌！哈哈哈！

The green piece of luggage with flowers on it that caught my eye 2 weeks ago is following me around.  I first passed by it at Vivocity and tried valiantly to ignore the calls of ‘buy me, buy me’.  I thought I succeeded.

Yesterday I saw it and another green plainer counterpart at Jurong Point.  I sooo want it and it knows!  It knows!  It’s following me around to make sure I buy it!  I cannot resist!  I shall take Chris Tan’s advice:  I don’t need it, but I must buy it, because it’s green!

after 2 weeks, I’m still wondering what am I supposed to do here.  Maybe this kind of thing isn’t for me after all?

Not blogging recently because I dunno what to blog about.  It seems that even the japan trip ended up being delivered like some form of primary school composition that we used to have to do eons ago.  You know the type.

Today I went to school.   I studied in class.  During recess I played catching with my friends.  After school, I went home.  My mother cook rice, fish  and vegetables for lunch, yummy.  After I finish my homework, I played on the computer and then I watched tv.  Blah-de-blah-de-blah-blah-blah.

Given that, my weekend would probably go something like:

I went to watch Resident Evil: Extinction with Chris on Friday.  It was a good movie.  We watched the midnight show on Friday.  Before that I went to the airport to eat at Popeyes because I like fried chicken.  It was good.  I like the biscuits too, especially with the strawberry jam.
On Saturday and Sunday, I stayed at home because I was very tired.

I think Chris went to seek some hole in the ground because she just realized she spent Friday night very boring-ly.  Ahhhh, save me from the relentless boredom that spews from my keyboard leh.    Heck, even an actual primary school student now has a more exciting life.

A week after getting back from Japan, I still can’t get over the lethargy. Is it the weather, is it the long holiday, was is the endless walk-walk-walk, or am I just a lazy ass? But every night as I switch on the PC and listen to the whirring of the hdd, my eyes start to drift shut I haven’t downloaded any photos, written any entries, my tachikomas are sitting in the paperbag on the floor, I haven’t tasted my Kit-Kat or Pocky yet. But better get this done before the memories start to fade, as does happens with old people photos will come by later…i hope.

The trip has ended, but where do I start though? I can’t be sure what kind of anticipation I had for this trip, having wanted to visit Japan for so long, but the country and it’s people sure didn’t disappoint. It seems that everything is there, from the hip, the cool, the tacky, and the traditional. Yes it’s cliched (I must get out of this cliche-using mode) but the manga-loving otakus, the weird-wonderful-cosplayers, the fashionistas, the sararii-man, the OLs and the kimono-clad ladies (we saw a whole bunch of them in full kimono regalia on Tuesday on the trains) still manage to co-habit with ease in Japan, which is something I have completely given up on in dear old SG.

2 days ago, I msged shir telling her I had a craving for raw fish… me, who had salmon sashimi all of 2 times in my life, had a craving for sashimi, salmon, tuna, squid all downed with loads of wasabi and shoyu. I miss the weather, I miss the raw fish, the udon, the ramen, the vending machines and the wondrous drinks (hot cans of coffee that makes shir go ‘ah hot! hot!’ and drop the can) that tumble out of them, the toilets that warm and wash your butt with a few button presses, the bright lights big city of Akihabara or Shibuya, the rather scary peacefulness (I am city born and bred after all) of Kawaguchiko at night, the beautiful people, esp the guys who kept us busy our eyes busy all the time and the kawaii pink-cheeked children in their uniforms of yellow hats and backpack, and most of all that delightful politeness of the people who were oh-so-courteous-yet-friendly-without-being-withdrawn and seeing that fabled enthusiasm when you find something in common (yes i’m talking about the Mayday fans) that made staying in and moving around Japan a pleasure.

Having said all that, I came away from a week in Japan not ‘missing’ it.  On the day we left, I didn’t have that feeling of leaving ‘home’, the way leaving Taipei or Hong Kong has made me feel before…perhaps it’s the very different culture, perhaps it’s the unfamiliar language, but Japan doesn’t feel like ‘home’.  It’s a pity because I would love to go back to Japan (a practicing otaku must return to the originating land of otaku-san) a few more times, there’s absolutely too much to see and do in 1 trip.   To the people who say 9 days in Tokyo is too many days, sucks to you la, anyhow give me wrong information.

And I still have not started the summary of the 9-day trip yet….   more to come in the next installment!!  soon!  i hope!  because I am too busy re-watching Beach Boys!!

chris came to a conclusion the other night at the 7-11 in Centrepoint basement, the conclusion being I shouldn’t smoke so much because there’s nothing stressing me out.

I have no job, no money and no man, so I have nothing! Nothing to trouble me at all!!

being a first-timer again in about 2.5 days time, heading off to Tokyo with a few of the mafia

A week ago, I was actually more excited about getting on a plane again rather than heading to Japan. This morning, as I nua-ed at home (as to why I am nua-ing at home on Wednesday, that is another story), I watched The Amazing Race Season 9 rerun on AXN, the episode where the Hippies, BJ and Tyler make it to Tyler’s “2nd home” Japan.

Seeing the 2 hippies run around Shibuya, Fujikyu Highland Amusement Park and Yamanakako, I couldn’t stop the cheshire cat grin, because that’s gonna be us in a few day’s time!!! I hope we make it through the 9 days with as much enthusiasm as the 2 of them did. ^_^ Although I’m not going to use a China-made stripy plastic bag as my luggage…
