True Faith (The Morning Sun)
I feel so extraordinarySomething's got a hold on meI get this feeling I'm in motionA sudden sense of libertyI don't care 'cause I'm not thereAnd I don't care if I'm here tomorrowAgain and again I've taken too muchOf the things that cost you too muchI used to think that the day would never comeI'd see delight in the shade of the morning sunMy morning sun is the drug that brings me nearTo the childhood I lost, replaced by fearI used to think that the day would never comeThat my life would depend on the morning sun...When I was a very small boy,Very small boys talked to meNow that we've grown up togetherThey're afraid of what they seeThat's the price that we all payAnd the value of destiny comes to nothingI can't tell you where we're goingI guess there was just no way of knowingI used to think that the day would never comeI'd see delight in the shade of the morning sunMy morning sun is the drug that brings me nearTo the childhood I lost, replaced by fearI used to think that the day would never comeThat my life would depend on the morning sun...I feel so extraordinarySomething's got a hold on meI get this feeling I'm in motionA sudden sense of libertyThe chances are we've gone too farYou took my time and you took my moneyNow I fear you've left me standingIn a world that's so demandingI used to think that the day would never comeI'd see delight in the shade of the morning sunMy morning sun is the drug that brings me nearTo the childhood I lost, replaced by fearI used to think that the day would never comeThat my life would depend on the morning sun...

I'm back !

Back from Fukuoka.... some photos to share again.

We were allocated to the company dormitory up a little hill, the weather was still cold then and it did snow a little on one of the days.... just that tiny little and it brightens our day. Comparing to earlier Tokyo trip, Fukuoka is a much colder prefecture. I think it should reached 0 or lower degrees in the night. Everything is just so cold, especially the toilet bowl..... can you imagine when you are on "urgent call" and when you sit down, the "door" closes.


My bed for 3 weeks..... Tatami


Praying, japanese style


It's a bird, it's a plane...... it's........ Victor
Universal Studio Japan (USJ)


Jurassic Park



Jaws


Where's Doc???? I got to go back to 1955


Even the train to USJ is Themed


Oversea also must exercise


But it's really cold, approaching sunset...


Taken opposite our dormitory where there is a Cherry Blossom Garden, just before our evening jog.... healthy huh....



This foldable bike bought all the way from Osaka to Fukuoka (~2 bullet train hours) to Singapore (6 flying hours). Very heavy leh, still haven't got a chance to ride till I get the inner tube nozzle adaptor. It is japanese model, very different from what we have here.

Preparing for Fukuoka

Just finished packing for my 1st business trip to Fukuoka tomorrow night. Much more stuffs to bring compared to my Tokyo trip though. My backpack is full and its onli my stuffs, the other time it was full too but 2 person's share. Not feeling as excited as Tokyo cos this time is for work, and by the time I knock off, probably most shops are close. Heard that the area around there is more of residential estates than shopping area. Hope to find some nice place to shop and sightseeing.
My travelling kit
Got this set of speaker few weeks back. My aging ACS 54 is having a hard time keeping up with the latest gaming & music intensive audio technology. How long can this last?

Tokyo Honeymoon 17th - 23rd Feb 2007 (2nd installament)

2nd and last installment for Tokyo trip.
Was always yearning to make a trip to Japan one day, maybe due to too much of Japanese drama. Recently, was informed that I will be sent to my Parent company at Fukuoka for a business trip for 3 weeks (25th Feb 07 - 17th Mar 07). In case I did not response to you, you should guess that I'm in Japan. Wah, 1st quarter of the year and I would have stayed in Japan twice for almost a total of 1 month. Suddenly I feel so Japanese liao, Konichiwa!!!
