Back at last

yesterday marks the day I came back to my room in tokyo. once again confirming that after a long while of nomadic travelling, dumping my bags here and there, travelling around the place like some homeless fellow, that I do yearn for staying put in one place for a while.

after 12 days of travelling in hokkaido, Xianna came up from South Japan to catch up and bitch about life with me. we spent the next 2 nights prowling tokyo on a survival trip that saw us spending 1 night at a manga-kisa which is a manga reading place with internet, shower etc. the next night we spent a night with weifeng at an onsen, sleeping in our yukatas on a reclined chair in their free resting room. i swear i will go back to that place again.

coming back to my room and really starting to pack things have been an experience in itself.

on those 12 days in hokkaido, i spent 4 days in the house of an old couple in Hakodate as part of a homestay program. in those days, their hospitality really impressed me. in fact, i spent so much time talking to my host mum that there was a night when i even told her my family story in Japanese. and we shared really deep stuff, about like her experiences in life and so on. it was really a very very good feeling, hearing from someone who's been through life in that way, living in a town that has almost everything but not with the stress of a typical big city.

true love never runs smooth

thats what that drama says.

as human beings we can link whatever we see hear feel with our present feelings and grow emo about it isnt it?

i never ever had problems linking what i see in those dramas with how i'm feeling.

looking at the ups and downs, I couldnt help but wonder that anything can happen from now on. Only for you, I could never accurately predict what could happen. totally. i've never felt so out of control anywhere else in life.

i could only carry on living my life well, just in case. Its no lie that I dont know what i want in life as much as anybody else.

true love never runs smooth. its a lie isnt it? its one of those lines that could go with any situation. to sell a love story.

another sign

another sign of me being in that mode. ever so often, my life is just broken up into terms. in this respect,, school terms of peak periods and lull periods. and i guess, one of the signs that I am almost done with things on my hands is that I am back to my dramas.! :)

a lot of things are on pending on the other sides replies. a couple of job applications in process, a couple of applications for my birds and so on.

at least finally having the liberty to sit down and enjoy dramas at the same time improve on my japanese is really a relief. made a few plans on the things to do when i am back home alr. one of them is to watch bodyworlds! the one that i missed in denmark! and probably going to science centre again. those things that you do like once in every few yrs in singapore. i am so so so gonig to do them all this time round. coz maybe.. just maybe i wont have time to do all those for a while. haha. the other thing is. i'm totally missing out on singapore's development. I am prepared to go back and go like: eh... i din see that when i left. kind of development. and to think of it. i've just been away for 4 mths! i cant imagine how many new things are coming up. especially this yr. the circle line. the IRs. a few more shopping centres. etc etc etc. i am so so so so missing out on those.
