Today is the last day of 2008.

2008.

Sounds like a year that will be very much missed.

It was a busy year after all. With Project Work as well as my H1 Economics examinations, both of which i have confidence in scoring.

A lot happened this year. I was faced with more responsibilities and challenges, and they changed me in a subconscious way...but i'm sure that it's in a good way too.

Looking back at the start of this year, well, it isn't any drastic, or magnificent, but i welcomed 2008 with fear. Fear of losing my freedom due to the overwhelming responsibilities and work.

I really am the person who likes to over-think things. I would always, before the situation is realised, simulate a scenario-like outcome that is based solely on my pessimism. I guess this is why i'm often conservative on the methods i used.

...and here we are today. I've come this far. I've learnt much. I've grown.

2009 resolutions...mmm...i guess staying the same is fine. But time would become a really valuable (and at the same time lacking) factor next year. My real battle is next year, examinations of the remaining subject. I'd think that i won't waste much time on unimportant things...one of them being interaction with other people. I'll no longer give much concern about class dynamics or stuff. I'll just interact unless absolutely neccessary, because i think this would be helpful.

"Whoever stands in my way, i'll just have to put them down."

About the 'other' factor, mmm, i guess in the midst of trying to get her attention, i've forgotten my true form...My face that is without the mask i put on everyday. While i can't give up on these feelings all of a sudden, i give up doing any further.

My friend was right about something, just one thing. If she is not interested, then don't bother. I guess i still will give some concern, but i'll never allow myself to steep so low, that i look like someone who's desperate.

---

With that, let's cheer ourselves on and welcome 2009 with a happy face! HK FIGHT!

for i am Kaiser that comes from Hell."

 Day 2...but i will be writing about yesterday instead. I set off early in the morning at 8am towards Tokyo station from my hotel. It was a good 20 minutes walk and with decent, cooling weather as well. I found out that opposite my building is a Konami building (although, later in the day when i return i would find that the building houses their Esports studio and school. I managed to get a Welcome Suica card at the Information Cafe of Tokyo station after a good 10 minutes of looking at the directory. The process of getting the card was simple as the staff was able to communicate in English. After i have gotten the pass, i started to look for Shinkansen ticketing machines. Because i was leaving in a short while, all of the reserved seats are already occupied and there was not much of a choice here. The plus of a non-reserved Shinkansen ticket is that you are free to board the non-reserved cabins anytime, as the ticket lasts for 4 days. I arrived at the platform to mad crowding. The...

 Holy RA it's already near the end of April of 2025. Since the last post i've made a second booking to Japan, been there and returned. The visit this time was less of a rush but at the same time, i spent more time relaxing (idling) in the hotel. Originally i've planned annual visits in October of each year but i kind of felt like going again. So i made a booking towards the end of January. Unfortunately, the timing is not really good this time as the weather was pretty dark and gloomy throughout the trip. The Sun only showed up at the last 2 days of the trip. --- This time, i've visited Shizuoka again for its sushi. Same store. Same taste. I've also went to Enoshima and had "Enoshima Don", a seafood egg rice. I've mistaken "Yurantei" for the "Uomitei" that i wanted to visit. Nonetheless, the food is good. I'll visit someday again. Also, fulfilled my dream of taking the Sunrise Express, visiting Izumo and the famed Izumo Taisha (...

 ...with how tired i was in Japan daily, it was easy to leave out writing. For example, i'm already back in Singapore. Following the previous post, i made my way to Ueno Park, Senso-ji in Asakusa, Shikansen down to Shizuoka and visited Sunpu Castle, took a river cruise around Sumidagawa with Tokyo Cruise and ended a full day trip spending money in Akihabara buying old consoles. I'll think about whether i want to go into the details. The last actual day, Friday 18 Oct, was kind of a waste as i was "kicked out" of the hotel early and spent the day in the Airport instead. The storage was full so i couldn't leave my luggage in the airport and go somewhere else. I also can only check it in only 3 hours before the actual flight. It's a good trip overall, even with all the downtime. I am already looking forward to returning next year. I am also going to go for a Business class seat again next year.
