Code Geass ended about 12 years ago. I must have finished the anime probably in 11 or 10 years ago.

The ending was sad. I remember crying for a bit.

...so imagine that i found out today, though a random clip on YT because i was rummaging through random anime clips, that in the end Lelounch proposed to C.C. and they ended up being together.

In the final scene, as tears welled up in C.C. eyes and her face blushed, so did mine.

I am really happy about this.

10 years ago. If we visit 10 years ago, exact to the day, it would have been one more week to get enlisted in the army.

The situation is not really different from now. Poor relations with the family, no idea of what the immediate future is going to be like.

I remembered the cold march i had after reaching the island and leaving my family. I couldn't feel a thing. Actually, i think i might have been a bit happy. Some people around me were crying. Some were just plain sad. Not me. I was fine with it.

Happy that i don't have to deal with the poor situation for a while.

How about now? What's the escape for me here?

Funny how that in 10 years' time, the present, when i have more money and qualifications, i am still lost on what is going about my life.

I want some change in my life but i think i know too little to know what i can change about it.

It's easy to just accept that nothing can be changed and settle down, i feel. However, there's just so much blanks in my life that i have no idea what to fill them with.

Been doing some research about teaching abroad. Since my application to teach keeps falling short here, i may as well try the overseas, right?

Man, i really can't get that C.C. scene out of my mind.

 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.
