NY restaurant week

isnt it funny that we went to this japanese restaurant for the NY restaurant week..

It is a good deal for the normal price of the restaurant... and I can try the quality of an upscale new york japanese restaurant

when I opened the menu... in between the kobe beef / sushi....

of course Kobe beef! but just ironic that I tried Kobe beef in NY.. but not Kobe....

the nite b4 the first day of work

I am a bit worried.. worried about not being able to perform the job... worried about not being able to cope with the people.... worried about ... I guess insecurity arises when ppl are faced with unfamiliar situation...

"It's common though to have such worried feeling, and be confidence asyou are normally. You will be impressed of what you are doing in next few weeks."

thx felix..... thx for the JIT (just in time) comfort words....

Tomorrow will be a whole new day....

cheers

Just some findings

Findings about this trip..... we are stepping into another stage of life ne....

Most decent guys have steady girlfriends... I guess for now they are still willing to go out and help me... but in later years when they got married.. this might be difficult to say.... so... I better ganbette ne!

wish all the best of luck to all my friends la....

Silent and quiet flight

This is a good morning flight. I got to get a double seat, watched a nice movie and there is nice sunshine...... I hope I can get the same on my 1/20 flight...

to be honest, I cannot stop thinking about him throughout my vacation. I guess I am too duck han... When I get new excitment, I should be able to put him behind me...

suddenly remember the song... I am leaving on a jet plane....
indeed I dont like the airport, it is a place for departure and seperation. It brings back our loved ones but it also seperate ppl....

Eat. Spa. Shop.Thai!

Eat eat eat! Spa Spa Spa~~~Shop Shop Shop!

After hearing all the good things about Bangkok, finally here I came!

Did I slow down my pace since Tokyo? how come Mary walked sooo fast? seems like we are hurrying everywhere = ) not relaxing enough....

the food and restaurants looks great! only that I have been eating too much western / italian so I would prefer something asian......

Haha... this tree is cute! I want to try to make a pose but was stopped by mary.. hee hee

Singapore and old friends

Some thoughts...

Singapore -> HK in the 70s without the crowd?
Office building like the 90s
Food Court remind me of the 70s
Guys in blue shirt

Meeting ppl........
Derek is still the same... (he remembered that I like New York!
Meeting Singapore colleagues -> they are soooo friendly and nice!
Thomas -> what shall I say? I guess the job changed him...

and yes.. there is definitely a difference between 30 and 25.... that 5 yrs of experience made a over 10 year gap....

My Last 24 hrs in TKY / 2006

Finally the day has come....

I really need to say thank you to Felix, he made this day much easier for me to pass... He was with me all the time.. chatting and checking everything so I forgot that this is my leaving day..
thx for accompanying me to the karaoke, thx for being the bodyguard in clubbing (and cash bodyguard) thx for bringing me the lock, thx for taking pics in the airport and thx for the call after I entered the gate....

is it because of you, I still dont feel like I am leaving? or in general I am a cold, stone-hearted person?

Masako-chan, thx for coming to Westin to see me off. I felt sorry that I havent paid as much attention to you since KK came. I hope you can find your path and realize your dream soon.

KK.. it is very difficult to express my feelings towards you. I guess I cannot understand what you have done in the past but as it has pasted I will leave it to history....

the JAL flight was bad... coming home was good.... Seeing Mary at the airport is also fantastic!!!

But the email and call I received after left tokyo airport leaves me a bit confused and uncontent.
what does that mean?

When it hits...

after dinner when everyone is heading home... I felt really really lonely heading back to the hotel myself... It is nice, fancy, clean, tidy.... I have always liked this hotel...

but I just want to run back to my messy little room...

and that is when I started shaking.... Level 1 hits... My surroundings are starting to change, I feel really uncomfortable even though I am sleeping on "the heavenly bed" with the heavenly bath robe..

to be honest, the feeling wasnt HEAVENLY at all....
