YO~! It's time to start our story from Day 1~ Sorry, even though we intended to keep all of you informed while we were in Japan, we just didn't had the time or the connection to update you people with.

So we started our journey to Japan on the 29th March 2009, night flight. We had Tamaki, Hikaru's bro, sis in law and sis saw us off.

We admit, it was our first time sitting on a plane and when the plane took off, lifting its wheels off from the ground, piercing through the darkness, we held hands and gripped on the handle. It was scary, exciting, exhilarating and a little sad. Well, of course the sad would be the thought of leaving Kazuki alone for two whole weeks. I was thinking whether he would sleep well, but i know he was in the good hands of my family. All through the flight, we tried to take my mind off things, tried to relax, flicked the in flight entertainment, watched some movie, listened to Frank Sinatra and played games. We tried to sleep butthen, it was uneasy and uncomfortable. The uneasiness becomes unsettling and the unsettling is because for me, personally, i wanted to shout, "YAY!".

We were awaken by the hustle and bustle at around 4am. The air stewardess was distributing breakfast. 4AM. it was supposed to be started by a happy grin on my face. I had low blood pressure. Hmmph. Anyhow, i chewed and grumbled. We reached the Kansai Airport at around 7Am. We were jumping in our skins as we made our way through the alley and the first thing that hit us was a wave of chilly air. At that instant, we did regret about the weather. Hahaha~!

We made our way to the tour bus after refreshing ourselves up. Its kinda the first time for me to brush teeth in a public restroom. Anyhow, first stop. Universal studios~!

Yes people~ its only 2 days to 日本~! As exciting as it sounds, i'm tremendously fatigued with leftover work and also preparations for the travels (-.-)"

Anyway, tomorrow i will be going over to Hikaru's place and we'll cross examine our stuffs to make sure we are very well prepared~ BTW, my room is in chaos right now~ (^.^)"

Yesterday, after work i was walking along with my colleague to our car park and as annoying as it is, it was misty and raining. While we carefully looked down on the road to avoid puddles while trying our best to stay under one umbrella, i just had the notion to look up. Over the hills, behind Ipoh Parade, in between the trees and Syuen, i saw a very bright and big ass RAINBOW~~

I tried to use my crappy phone to take a photo of it, but it was too grainy so i wont bother posting a vacant picture. Nevertheless, i was happy, very happy. I'm obsessed with RAINBOWS and are definitely reminded of it as God's promise. In my case, it was before i embarked on this journey of planning and saving for this trip, i did asked Him to look after me and bless this trip. And yesterday, as if He wanted to tell me, He promised and it is happening. We had a bumpy ride, saving money during this economy meltdown was tough.

But, what a ride. It's definitely worth it.

2 days to 日本~!!

kaoru~

It's finally down to one numerical alphabet but it's taking forever~! The last 9 days to 日本~! The past week had been excruciatingly long and busy and annoying.

It's funny how fast days and hours go by for the past year and now that we're getting so near the departure date that we feel it's so near yet so far~ i guess its what you call ANTICIPATION with no patience at all~

Anyhow, it's just another 9 days to 日本 and we're already packed and sitting on top of our luggage waiting for time to past~! (^^)

hikaru~

severe hallucinations (my colleagues start pole dancing), heavy eyelids (can't see a single thing on my screen), and mouth-wide-open (yawning every 3 seconds)...

... the verdict?

Yes, i'm sleepy... very sleepy ... ね、眠い……(-_-;)

but heck it is FRIDAY...~

.... and another 10 days to 日本 !

kaoru~

Hello~ its already 17 days to Japan~

Well, the fact that I'm posting and surfing around the web now via JUST a keyboard is so remarkable, i had to post this. Just to remind myself that even though the mouse had gone a little amnesiac or contracted Alzheimer's, i still can do it. Well, for sure I'll have a little mistakes here and there, its still inconvenient after so many years of getting entranced by the wonderful magical world of the mouse.

It seems that after checking my control panel, it doesn't show any description for hardware. So I'm guessing that the driver got wiped out. In a sudden, i was twirling it around when i wanted to sign in for my MSN. Bad bad mouse~

Anyhow~ despite this hiccup, I'm still smiling to myself at the fact that~~ "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know if my heart will be back again~" Yeah, i altered it a little. Hehe~~ (^^)
