So Apropos
Saw death on a sunny snowFor every life, forego the parable. Seek the light, my knees are cold. (Running home, running home) Go find another lover; To bring and- to string along. With all your lies, you're still very lovable. I toured the light, so many foreign roads For Emma, forever ago. |

homesick? japansick? simply sick?
No I'm not color blindI know the world is black and white Try to keep an open mind but I just can't sleep on this tonight Stop this train I want to get off and go home again I can't take the speed it's moving in I know I can't But honestly Won't someone stop this train Haha. Or, in our cause. "Stop this plane, I wanna get off and go back again..." Or whatever it was that we were singing that prompted that lovely image of our mega-heavy SQ plane stopping in the middle of the flight path to vertically crash into Malaysia. OUCH. Oh and that air steward that was super nice about the earphone barrier across the aisle as clar and I listened to her ipod. Hahah. Currently, I'm in a middle of a high that can't be traced. It could be the fact that I'm back home, with my bed and my new japan trip over, a little nostalgia that the trip IS over (awww) or the happiness of being able to eat hokkien mee once I got off. To add on to that, I've got post-turbulence headaches and super-high adrenaline that is quite worrying. In addition to being able to talk to certain peoples again.... The Excitement is too much to take. Seriously. So here's the quick overall. Japan was AWESOME. Except for the fact that we went to too many places in such a small time. I may be terminally insane now thanks to the two Cs, Celestyn and Clarissa, as well as the wonderfully crazy Lin family (thank you so much for everything!) and even Auntie Susan, who is clar's mom's friend living in Japan, with a spontaneous and cheery attitude and overall great guide to life in Japan. We visited a school and lived in an authentic jap home, experienced real tea ceremony and traditional performances, walking the Kyoto alleyways for thrift-shopping rode in a Shinkansen (bullet train), metro, train, cablecar, tram, bus which makes much the majority of the public transport. We took lovely photos with a total of 2 digital cameras and one DSLR and who knows how many memory cards, entered so many different worlds that we could never imagine entering. We lived in Ryokans, slept in Yukatas, bought Yukatas (the pretty ones) and experienced japanese gastronomy at its finest. Basically going past anything that a tour could ever give us. Amazing. That's not all really, but in order to explain the whole thing, I'd need to do a full recap complete with photos, so I'll wait for the photos to be done, as well as this high to be over before I start anything. Me, now? I am chubby because of the good food, skinny because I am tired, and exhausted because of all the drama experienced. A trip like this brings out alot in people, and I'm really glad that we managed to stick together through all the mess and make it safely back home. After being plunged and preoccupied with the Japan Experience for so long, coming back to the recession, the Mumbai attacks as well as the strike in Thailand (we actually met a woman stranded in Narita due to the strike. I hope she makes it back), I feel really blessed that we're still alright, being in a foreign place and now living in a relatively safe country. Trips like this really make you realize that anything can happen, and I really mean ANYTHING. Oh, and that I am a very forgetful girl. Lets leave it at that. In other news, Calvary has officially gone into camp, which means I can't see them :( Chances of going for Camper's Night are slim and I'm starting to miss the calvarites for some reason. I think its the timing as well as the sudden freedom in the holidays to basically catch up with my dear dear friends. But they're in camp. Agh. Okok. I'm going to high somewhere else. |
