I wanted to write this today, but i'm quite busy and had to write this at night. I decided to do it now, because tomorrow's the last day of 2010 and i wanted to do my reflections/resolutions post tomorrow (I'm sticking to 1-post-a-day).

I guess you could say that today is a...turning point. Something like that.

I met her today. Or more like, she asked me out.

It's just for something simple as passing an item to her, a game in fact.

I think speaking around in circles like this doesn't help. Let me compose my thoughts and write everything down in an organised and chronically sound way.

---

It started 2 days ago, 28 Dec 10.

I saw her adding some pages to her favourites on Facebook, some of it including games that i played. I talked to her about it and she raised to me that she had a malfunctioning disc. Now, being the friend i am to a lot of my friends (Woah), i suggested to her that i could lend her my copy since i also have it.

We sealed the meeting yesterday night, and agreed to meet today morning at 0820hrs.

Being the 'gentleman' i am (After all this is the girl i like), i arrived ten minutes earlier at 0810hrs. Spent some time playing my ipod as i soon received a message from her that she would be late.

I got that message around 0815hrs. I thought nothing of it and so i continued waiting.

At around 0825hrs, i got another message asking if i am awake and that if i'm not, i don't have to meet. I replied saying that i was there since 0810hrs. Very quickly, a reply came saying that she'll be on the way as fast as she can, and that she was slower because i did not reply to her first message, giving her the intention that i am in fact still asleep.

Ok, i swallowed that. Continued playing my ipod till 0845hrs...

There she is. My first visual contact since early 2007 with her.

She came tapping my shoulders, and as my sight shifted from my ipod to her, my feelings at the moment are as scattered as this:

25% happy: In that i really want to see her again
25% annoyed: Never liked latecomers
25% confused: Till now i didn't know what hit me back then.
25% scared: I thought i saw a ghost...really.

It's not that her looks became bad or something, but the amount of make-up she put on is...horrendous. I could not find another appropriate word to describe as of now, but what i'm trying to convey is just, scary? Really, i cannot believe that make-up, cosmetics can change her looks so much that i could barely recognise her.

I couldn't smile. I could not bring myself to smile at ALL. I have no idea why but i JUST COULD NOT!

Despite all that confusion, i understood that she's rushing for time and all i could remember saying in that little rendezvous is: "I think you should go if you want to make it in time."

Seriously!

Made some quick military slang but obviously she did not get it, i didn't try to explain since she's short on time. I just bid her farewell.

All those percentage above could not describe better than this: That i am just 100% speechless.

---

However...HOWEVER, i pretty much made some observations. Observations along with some analysis and whatnots.

Years ago, i viewed her as a higher level person as i am. She's not talented but she's hardworking, she relies on her friends and vice versa. Someone i truly believe that i would be happy with. Her seat was somewhere so high, that not even my imagination of 'Heaven' could reach.

Today, the tables have turned. Or so it seemed to me. I desperately tried to improve myself so that i can catch a glimpse of her seat, and it just seemed like her seat stopped rising. It remained on the same spot. I rose and rose, till my level is higher.

I understand that people reading this will probably think that i'm talking rubbish. After all, i myself wouldn't just buy a story of a person saying how he/she's better. Well, take note that i'm saying this, that the above is as i see. AS I SEE. Meaning to say, i don't have that inferior feeling when i'm dealing with her like in the past. I would stutter a little in the past, but i wouldn't now.

I've become better. Already.

This sudden...'confidence'...had kind of got me thinking. Should i continue waiting? Should i just give up and go for better candidates instead? I'm in a serious dilemma. I don't want to know that i've devoted 4 years to her for nothing and giving up, yet i don't know if i should advance considering things being like this today.

Oh well, no point pondering. For this once, i'll let nature take its course, even if this seemed to me like a big joke played on me by God.

 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.
