What do people do when they get old?

I went to the barber to have my hair cut, since school is starting and my hair is beyond acceptable length. I happened to see the senior citizens there also having their hair cut. One thing that puzzled me is, that their hair is not even long or the type that cause any irritation.

As i sit and wait for my turn, i can hear the old man and the barber talking about a lot of things. They were laughing and smiling and all that stuff. It's kind of comforting to know that, interaction is still strong even in these days. Being "Old" does not mean that you have to sit at home and do nothing, just like "Old people". To that guy i saw yesterday, at least it seemed to me that he is everything but 'old'.

Had BBQ at MY's house in the evening. Apparently, our seat was taken by another family, who insist that the sheltered seat is free for everyone. MY was pissed big time and started talking 'loudly' in sarcasm. What bugs me is that the other family kept ransacking and looking through our stuff. They already took our seat and they want our food? Some even discard their trash into our plastic bags. Then it started raining, and the lot of us started to curse the family since they are taking our sheltered seat, leaving us to get drenched in wide open.

Then before i left, we had 'that' talk again with MY and WL. You know, 'that' talk when MY said "Give up." and i reply "Nah." I'd admit that at this point i'm already rather tired and wanted to give up, but that'll waste 2-3 years of my feelings. It's fine if i didn't notive about it, but i valued this feelings and they've helped me through some difficult times. Hence, my conclusion is...

...i'll confess one more time.

At this point of time, it doesn't really matter whether what her answer is. Like what i told MY, i'm just doing it for formality's sake. But who knows if i might strike jackpot this time. just for sticking it through for so long? Nobody knows. I'll do it and get over with it...and hope that somewhen in the future, i don't have to regret this decision.

 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.
