surviving this long march

i have not been meeting many of my friends on a regular basis. in fact i had "disappeared" for quite a while haha=). yesterday we had a great fellowship and catching-up. we had so much fun!

some new friends joined the group last night and it was till the end of the day that i realized one of them (who drives) stays in my hdb block!! talk about a small world haha. i realized that i am now not very receptive to new friends. i tend to be not as friendly and eager to make new friends as last time. well my boss said i had an "air of arrogance"??!!

well work-wise, the company is experiencing a high turnover, as expected since early this year. so my workload is piling up. sorta envy my colleagues who are going on a new career path, and i'm sure they will have a better future ahead. all the bonuses thing are just crap. they are never in time or conveniently dismissed.

going to japan in 2 weeks! i'm so excited, especially when i try to do more research on the logistics means and so on(which i had procastinated for a while). however i made a small mistake in my budget estimation so now i have to withdraw more cash from my savings =(. been saving very very hard. i hope the yen will drop further!

well, i can't seemed to conclude my ever-growing shopping list:

• a handful of t-shirts and collared tees
  
• at least a pair of jeans
• a few pair of nice shorts
  
• mittens, beanie and maybe muffler?
• melon-flavored kit-kats
  
• japanese snacks
  
• mushroom tea (recommended by a fren)
  
• souvenirs for parents and some friends
• facial masks from fancl
• accessories like belts, jackets etc.
• maybe a messenger bag
• a cable to connect my wii console to my monitor and perhaps some games?
• maybe a sony camera (for my cousin)
• burberry shirt (for trying out?)
• burberry blue label bags (if my colleague do place an order)

gosh. simply had no idea how much i should bring hahaha. anyway almost time for me to go for my movie outing.
