Much to say but I don't really want to blog. Hvae so much unsettled business to do for JC talks and Experiences'08 argh.
In Tokyo now and I love it.Its modern and SUPER high tech and always bustling and full of people. There aren't as many beggers as in New York. The people all look modern and fresh, even the aunties. First thing tht struck me was how widespread the butt washer is. Can even adjust water pressure, water temperature, and even turn on the deodarizer. And you can on musicc to mask the sound of the flush. How cool is that!?
On the highways, they have giant bilboards with maps of the district. Those roads that are jammed are litted in red. COOL to the MAX.
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

blog post! for ann!
So...Left Ann Arbor on thurs. Mad rush. madmadmadmad rush.
SSA meeting ended at about 11 on Wed night, packed packed packed till 5 am the next morning. Somehow my estimate of 1 box 2 luggages was a gross underestimate. I ended up with 10 articles of baggage to move into Bradford storage. Then started to rush my paper out. Rushrushrush till 8 am, met eastquaddies for breakfast. Will miss them loads! Sharing photos after vacations and stuff, and like xw says its kinda like a home, there's a sense of familiarity waiting for you after returning from a long vacation or whatnot. And the east quaddies are so cute and sweet. And I'll miss the Benz and greene lounge. Not the toilets though, i mean the janitors did a good job keeping it clean, but still, i hate common toilets.
So 9 am, dental appointment, came back at 10 to rush out essay moremoremore. Finally finished about 11.30 (supposed to leave by 11) rushed to packpackpack, express checkout, and LEFT. at 12.50. when my flight was at 1.50. Around 1.10, roy was like, so, what time if your flight? me: 1.50. he literally screamed; SHIT! and zoooom, he threaded thru the high way. rushrushrush, reached the airport, and he said, u go queue up, leave it to me. So i go queue up, and relised there's no queue! and i want to get my luaggage to check in,a nd i ralised its in his car which he went to park =PP
So panicpanicpanic, den he came, i checked in, and GUES WHAT. flight DELAYED. Afraid i
'd miss my flight from chicago to newark and decided to book a backup flight. Arrived at chicago at 4pm and i realli thought i missed my 3.45 flight. THEN i realised tht chicago is one hour behind! And sure enough, it was onli 3 pm. Got onto my 3.45 flight safe andsound and WAS ON MY WAY HOME (though i;m damn bitter i carn eat the bclass food cos of my braces and teeth extraction)
Sat. Upon arrival, zh whisked me off to changi village for nasi lemak and carrot cake. (must thank him for lugging my 61lbs luggage and getting me coins to get on the bus and stuff) then went back and begun to feel th full force of tropical humidity. I begin to feel like Singapore is not meant to be a city. it is supposed to be a tropical rainforest! so slept. slept. slept. grandfather brought DURIANS! had jap for dinner and DURIANS! but i was so tired i fell asleep in the living room. Sun was boring too.
The following wk i felt my metabolism screech to a halt. I can literally feel my food in my stomach not digesting. I was constantly lethargic.
Mon. Met ofeeeeee and did teen stuff! i.e. neorpings and shopping! by 4 pm i was sooo tired.
Tues. Met Wenjie for lunch. Went to RG to deal iwth nepal stuff, and decided i was too tired. want to go back. and. sleep.
Wed: Met Huimin to watch defiinitely maybe, wmet ann for lunch at ajisen at 1. Tried to wal around at 3. by 3.15 we were, let's sit down for coffee. After coffee we were, let's go to ann;s house to nua. GAWD.
Thurs: shopping with mum. Got back by 3. Asleep by 4. Dinner. Sleep by 8.
My days are like tht
6 am sis wakes up and wakes me up tgt. I realised the whole day ahead is a blank, returns to sleep
8 am i wake up for the 2nd time and realises scheudle is still a blank. returns to sleep.
10 am wake up for the 3rd time and thinks maybe its time to wake up. grabs laptop and watches shows on it. while waiting for show to load i fall asleep
Soon... dog jumps on me and i bring him out to walk. i coem back for lunch and jumps right back into bed. cycle restarts.
the only productive thing i do all day is walk the dog. sweelllll.
