I shall try again

0715: i wake up to my alarm ringing. I slowly make my way to the bathroom to wash up, while boiling some water on the way.

0720: water boils, I tear a sachet of coffee or tea and make myself a warm cup of whatever to go with the cold morning. I quickly put on my heat tech, to not catch a cold while walking around, and struggle whether to make breakfast, which often ends up as nothing.

0745: I slowly decide what to wear for the day. not that I have that many choices. I wax my hair, put on some cologne, underwear, pants, with the heat tech still on and a shirt on it. I put on my blazer and another winter jacket on top. I look at the time.

0815: I do my final checklist of items, waller, namecard holder, keys, company pass, iphone, umbrella (after checking the weather), scarf/gloves, when it gets cold. I undust myself with the sticker roller thing to pick away all the dust. I remember my notebook, pen and all the things in my working bag.

0820: I get out of house, say good morning to Tokyo, and walk to the station. along the way,I pass by a coffee place with an auntie who says good morning, I keep to the left because its too crowded, occasionally needing to cut to the right. I cross a 4 way junction, pass my a smoking corner normally filled with working people taking a morning puff, before I head up the escalator to the train station. the whole distance takes me a mere 6 mins.

0830: I normally take 1 of 2 trains which goes to my office, of which many people alight at my station, so I dont take a filled train typically of tokyo, but I rarely have a place to sit. I whop out my iphone, read straits times online and sometimes check nba scores online.

0840: I reach Tokyo station, once again, alighting at the back of the train so that its nearest to my exit. I keep left while I walk again, often walking behind people who are already going in the same direction. I see highways of people, for an efficient morning commute.

0845: I reach the office, on my com, record on the time I reach, set down my bag and head to the toilet. I return and check my emails.

0900: the office gets busier and I start my task.

1130: I head to the toilet.

1215: I head for lunch, often a bento store downstairs and bring it back to the office pantry to eat.

1300: an after lunch coffee prevents me from dozing off after a heavy lunch.

1500: I get up and take a walk to the pantry to fill my water.

1830: I get off work, head home.

1845: I reach home, heat up some curry made the night before, fry a steak and toast some bread as dinner. I check out NBA highlights while eating.

1915: I finish dinner and place everything in the sink to be washed later.

1930: I head out again for Japanese classes.

2000: I reach the language centre, start class on Japanese grammar with Xianna.

2130: class ends, I feel tired. I head home.

2145: I reach home, undress, and wash the dishes. I check my email, occasionally type things like this.

2215: I take a shower.

2300: I collect my clothes from the balcony, and fold them and keep them. those that requires ironing, I put aside for the weekend.

2310: my girlfriend calls and tells me shes is going to the hot spring.

2315: I go online for a quick chat with whoever.

2330: I moisturise myself before I head to bed.

tokyo 24 hours

0715: I wake up to the sound of my iphone's alarm ringing. (while I am typing this, i get stuck for moments at some punctuations because the japanese keyboard has their ' and , etc at different places from the english keyboard. and I am semi used to both (neither). anyway, back to it, I wake up to my alarm, pretty easily. on tired

外国启示录

星期六的下午，天好快就转暗了，有些加强了我一个人的周末的感觉。左抹抹右擦擦的，不觉得望着前些日子洗下的照片，是我们家的全家福。看着照片，我想起了自己的生活，那非常简单，从零开始，一个人在日本打拼的生活。2件篮球裤，5件底裤的那种从零开始的生活。顿时领悟到，‘原来生活是可以那么的简单的呀！’。

象这样子，可以一整天待在家里的日子，其实除周末之外，很少了。也偶尔会让我非常想家。再过3年，可能真的不想在往外跑了也说不定。真的说不定。人生可能就关键在这三年了。钱要赚得够，老婆要找得对，很多事情就看这3年了。

在东京其实算是个让我集中精神开拓事业的好地方。就因为这里也没什么朋友，应酬，所以真的周末都可以集中精力做自己要做的事。学学日语，读读一些自己业界的书，真的还瞒集中的。而且我的问题往往就在太多社交，在新加坡真的很难有着样子的自己的时间。
