Banana Walnut Adventure in Sushi Wonderland Part 2

Well...it's actually already end of day 2. LOL. My drafts were simply lost =_= 

When we finally arrived at Tokyo station 1 hour later, we had to find the ticket sales place to check out possible passes we could get. But...no luck on that :( so we went to our hotel Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nihombashi-Ningyochu. Took us a little wandering around before we found our hotel. Japanese roads all seem to look different to me no matter how many times I look at the same road. 

Room's pretty decent though it's really small. Haha. Barely enough room for two of us to walk around on e had our bags on the floor. But it's cozy enough. 

After freshening up, we were ready for dinner!!! We tried to find Lawson to purchase out Disney tickets first but firstly we kinda lost our way and secondly the machine somehow just didn't have Disney tickets. We finally gave up and headed for Midori Sushi!! We went to the branch at Ginza Corridor, can't remember if we actually alighted at Ginza though I don't think so. But OMG the sushi was the BEST I've ever had!!! The burn sushi was fantastic especially the salmon!!!! Till now I can still remember how it felt and tasted in my mouth *drools*. And the unagi was nomnomnom!! Fantastic too. The mackerel special sushi set was yumzzzz. What can I say? Food was just too good to be true. We ended off with a burn otoro. But somehow, the salmon was still the best for the meal (and our life so far) 

After Midori, we headed over to the Sky Tree Tower. The place was pretty and the view was pretty decent too! 

After having ice cream, we kinda thought we were stranded at Ginza cause the station entrance to our line was CLOSED!!! At 10.30pm?!??

Luckily turned out it was just a false alarm. They had simply closed those entrances (cause too quiet I guess). So we managed to grab our train and headed back to hotel. That's of course without doubt first grabbing some drinks and snacks. 

Well, way too late now. Need to rest early for tml. Shall talk about Disney Sea tomorrow~

WE ARE IN JAPAN!!!

After 4 long months of waiting, 1 while month of planning, 1 week of hell clearing work, we are finally in Japan. 

After a not so eventful flight to japan(minus the fact I almost walked right into the gents at Changi Airport) transiting in the early hours in a rainy Taipei, we settled our connectivity for the rest of the trip (read wifi router) and our first meal in Japan (CHUTORODON). Now we are in the Narita Express heading to Tokyo~! 

Loving the scenery as we go. Saw paddy fields~and nice houses~the sun is shining bright too~~~

Can't wait!!! <3

Precious Moments

A Whatsapp dialogue with a friend suddenly brought on this revelation in me:

As time goes by, we will meet more and more new people and friends. On the other hand, our time on this world is diminishing by the second. Even if we were able to keep everyone in our lives, we won't have enough time for everyone. Then you will have to start thinking who should get that precious cut of the time you have left n this world...

Reflections

How time flies...it's coming to the end of 2012.

WOW

I'm speechless as I sit here staring at the screen, thinking back on what had happened over the past year, and things that had happened in the years before that. Time seems to really have a mass, why else does it seem to be speeding up as time goes by? Very soon I'll be using the phrase "in the blink of an eye".

Was looking through some of the blogs which belong(ed) to my friends, the (ed) is cause they no longer update their blogs, since 2 to 4 years back. Remember how I used to think adults are just plain boring, they don't know how to enjoy the finer things in life and never seem to find it in them to set some time aside to remember and be grateful for the beautiful or not so beautiful things that happen to them? Now I know for sure I'm almost all grown up...

I'm disappointed.

For many reasons I am disappointed.

I'm no longer who I used to be. Things which I used to treasure in a person no longer seem that important, in fact it seems almost plain childish in the cruel world of reality. I'm becoming numb and cynical about people and life. Not hope-less, just not as optimistic about humanity. Too much had transpired over time to eat away whatever fluff that I might have had of people and the world. I no longer laugh sincerely; I no longer find it in myself to be truly happy about anything.

My heart feels dead. I can't find it in me to trust and like, much less love, anyone now. Maybe it is temporary; maybe it'll stick for life. But I'm afraid. Perhaps I don't know what is love, so all along I had been impressed upon by the wrong notion of love and thus believe I'll never love again. I used to believe that it is alright to give it your all and love like an idiot, even if it is just once, because that is what it is to be young and alive; everyone should be brave to love and even if they get hurt, it is the true essence of love and from there we will grow to be a better person. Oh how wrong could I have been. Don't ever believe in those lies that chick-flicks and chick-lits tell you. It'll be your undoing. Yep, it's true that I did come out of it knowing myself a little better; it's true I came out of it being more realistic about relationships. But at the same time I no longer trust people as easily (to some people that should be a given, but all these years I've grown up believing that people are kind people and they don't hurt you) and I'm all disillusioned and can't bring myself to believe couples can stay together forever.

I'm becoming so negative.

I hate how you always think you are ready to face the problem thinking you are all healed up, only to realise that you are still all battered and bruised inside when the tears start pouring.

What makes it worse is that you know full well it's not worth it. It's not as if there was anything serious happening back then, in fact it was so one-sided. But I just can't seem to bring myself to get over it. I can't get over the pain and shame of having misplaced my trust and feelings to someone who doesn't deserve any of it.

Gosh~I'm such a loser...

The difference between a silly crush and a silly mistake

I was searching through some emails to settle some outstanding matters, when I chanced upon an email which I had sent out to someone whom I'm not supposed to be in touch with anymore.

It was an email explaining to him how I had been since not being in touch and why I no longer want him to be in my life ever again.

To tell the truth, it still kinda hurts to read the email I sent out. Even though I still wonder how he is and what he is up to, but no, I have no intention to get back in touch.

As I was reading through the email, I caught myself with a somewhat bitter smile lingering. Then somehow it brought me back to another email which was never sent out and I had deleted. It was to another somebody whom I had intended to keep in touch but have since disappeared in my life (though for some reason, I decided that I'm not supposed to ever be in touch with him again a couple years after going our own ways). Then I realised the difference in mindset and the emotions that emerged as the past started coming back to me.

With the silly crush, I had that "OMG. What stupidity had it taken for me to have done such things in the past??" thought and a rather distasteful cringe.

With the silly mistake, it was "Why did I have to meet him? Why didn't I think more rationally and admit to what was the obvious truth that had presented itself to me on more than one occasion in the past?".

I've always thought I had really liked the people in the past (in fact every time I insist that "this time it's real, I really feel for him" *rolls eyes*), but it isn't until now, that I realise those were just silly crushes. For you to have had really liked a person, it would have changed you.

I know it finally did. Maybe not for the better, not that I know for sure, but it did change me.

And that's just liking a person.

I don't really dare to think about loving someone, not that I ever will, but then again, not that I'll know for sure...

因为我不是你最喜欢的人

因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

所以你可以心血来潮的时候发短信打电话嘘寒问暖，但当我真的想你时，你却不会在我身边。

因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

所以高兴时你会让我觉得我是世界上最幸福的人，让我以为那就是爱情；不开心的时候，全世界都和你有联系，除了我，因为我不是你最喜欢的人，所以我不能帮你分担你的难过。

所以我的去向，我的生活你只有在你想要过问时问问，我却视若珍宝，满心欢喜，到头来都是自欺欺人。


因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

所以就算我们在一起了，我也不能过问你以前的，现在的，未来的，种种的想法。
因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

所以和我的联系只出现在你想要的范围内。
因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

所以就算是在一起还要当做暧昧来存在。

因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

所以我们的很多事情都不能公开。

因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

因为我不是你最喜欢的人。

但你是我最爱的人。

所以，只能有我爱你，却不能有你爱我出现。

因为我不是你最喜欢的人，但你却是我最爱的人。

所以，我们之间不完全的公平也不存在。
所有的一切，都只因为，我不是你最喜欢的人。
