Januaryyyyy is overrrrr (almost)


I can't believe that 2010 has begun and the first month, January, is just about over!!

I came to Japan almost exactly 5 years ago, and since then, life has been a very loooooong ride. What is most unbelievable is the fact that I was 17 years old when I left Brunei and I'll be coming back as a 22-year-old! (Okay, I'll be turning 23 soon enough.) OMG. Twenty-THREE. It was weird enough, hitting the two-decade marker. And now I'm 3 years in the game. Haha. I'm living in the third decade of my life. If I live to be a hundred, I'm 23% done with my life. LoL. Okay, 22.7-ish% done. Actually that kind of puts things to a whole new perspective. What exactly have I been doing 22.7% of my life?? ... ... ...

I know I'll be leaving Japan soon, which is partially why I've been going on these cafe trips with friends. You'd be surprised (or not) at how many good places there are to have 'tea' just in Kobe!!

(See picture of macaron above)

I'm going to miss cafe-ing and just hanging out with friends. I'm sure it's the same anywhere in the world. I vaguely recall even lepak-ing with friends the same way in Brunei :p ... but that was so long ago! But I hope to continue this as a hobby perhaps. LoL - going around trying different foods and cakes everywhere.

.... I really want to go to Europe to do a tea&cakes tour hahaha. Naj's Grand Tour in Europe. How about it? Any takers?
