I went onsen crazy

Realised I haven't blogged at all since going into office hours... Life's been seriously tough. Weekends never felt so inviting (And short) before. Every day staying in office till 7pm at least, leaving at 7pm itself is a bonus. Even back in cbe hell I had more time for myself... Over this period I also avoided asking people out, I knew the reply anyway, and I guess I just didnt bother anymore. I guess I gave up waiting, and gave up asking too. I'm still struggling over that. In any case the trip came in time before I broke. 

The Japan trip was good! Everyday Hokkaido milk, snow crabs, beef, udon, curry rice, soba... The food was super awesome la! And the scenery was superb. The weather was way better than sg, even rainy Tokyo was much better! Now I know why Gatsby hair wax is so popular. Their winds are so strong and wild, the Japanese need some heavy duty wax. And trust me their hair does not move one inch while I'm just eating my hair like nobody's business. That's some serious super glue wax. I got lost in the metro stations. Zzz. And got lost on the streets too. Zzz. Japan's roads are too confusing for me. Shanghai didnt seem that complex leh. Service not to mention, superb. My eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head when I came back to sg and was greeted by a glum faced Indian staff manning the taxi counter. 

Tokyo was such a stark contrast from Hokkaido. I actually found Tokyo overwhelming. Information overload. Lots of posters crammed with words, lots of sign boards, huge ass metro stations, haphazard roads, jam packed buildings, tiny ramen bars, rows of vending machines, crazy fashion, good looking guys, lots of walking... Livable, but it really takes some time to get used to all that info u are exposed to every single minute. And everything's tiny. Enough space for one person. 

The tour guide Takeshi Was inspiring in some ways. He kept telling me to open up and communicate with people. I have such terrible terrible networking skills, I admit. All through uni, and even now at work, I feel my networking skills are like shit. I feel more and more withdrawn into my own world. I can be silent one whole day and not speak a word, and still feel at ease. It takes a master of communication to talk to me man. I must be really hard to talk to. I'll remember what he told me anyway. I'll ponder over it more in future.
