x mas is approaching

came back to my room after hanging out with my 'new found friend'(s). one is Chang. my new found pet bamboo plant which i bought from Ikea, another a fellow singaporean in my dorm. x mas season approaching, with obviously the weather turning x massy too. i stood by the balcony for a min and found it to be too cold and came back in, lighting up a candle, in my room typing away at this.

i dont feel at all the x massy mood here in tokyo, coz no matter how nice the 'illuminations' here can be, japanese language just dont go with the x mas feel.

somehow the thought about leading a routine life came to me. that being overseas can be overshadowed by the glamorous part of it, by this overwhelming feeling of also leading a routine kind of lifestyle in a foreign land... somehow , i came to realise that being overseas can also start to get routine... the kind of life we all complain abt and dread in singapore.... but somehow, i could imagine that being in singapore right now for me, wouldnt seem that all routine at all....

my neighbour threw at me the idea of going back for Chinese new yr... and i am seriously thinking about it now. so this is christmas.

merry x mas. and a happy new year singapore. i am not nationalise. i merely appreciate my country and more importantly the people back home.

i tried to make my room as liveable as it can be, with obvious efforts from getting a new plant to accompany me, to lighting a candle on this lonely night.
