Japan...

So I`m here in Japan...what can I say I am here living my dream...sometimes I feel strange in that I know no one here, sure I have my darling but at the same time I am in a place away from my family and friends...at times its a bittersweet feeling. But I made my choice and I am completely certain that I will never look back on this time and think I regret doing that.

My job is going ok, the students are cool and nice and my fellow teachers are also cool. I will not say what school I am teaching at...I will probably get my ass sued or something...hahahha. I don`t really have a weekend which sucks but I do get Wednesday and Thursdays off so its cool.

Life in Japan this time round is obviously different, I am working now so most of my time is spent at school. I have really noticed this time round how people are always running here...in many ways it is as fast as Hong Kong but without the aggresion.

Once more into the breaches dear friends~~

The time has come to leave again...this time to a land that I barely know but will soon call home...

I told my sister that I feel a complete stranger here now, that I feel there is so little hope for me here, she said that was the really sad to hear...she was right...


With you these streets are heaven
Now home feels so foreign
They told me I was mistaken, infatuated
And I was afraid to trust my hunches
Now I am ready

Landscapes keep changing
History teaches something
I know I could be mistaken
but my heart has spoken
I cannot redirect my feelings
The waves have parted

[Ba Ba] don't be mad that I'm leaving
Please let me worry about me

[Ma Ma] dont you worry about me
This is my story...

Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean, through the desert snow
We'll say goodbye to the friends we know
This is [my] Exodus' [06]
Through traffic jams in Tokyo
new music on the radio
We'll say goodbye to the world we know
This is [my] Exodus' [06]

- Utada Hikaru

Goodbye my family and friends. Time passes us quickly, ask yourselves this...have I really taken advantage of each day to the fullest? Have I just lived through a day where I was truly happy and felt and knew every second was worth it?
