I bumped into Shahrul (friend from SYHU) at the pasar malam sometime last week. Bumped into Kashful (friend from MD) at Serusop sometime last week too. Bumped into Herry (friend/sempai from Japan) 2 days ago. Yani messaged yesterday. Haha. I think it's time that I start going out of the house.
Today I'm going off to renew my passport. Which has kinda made me reflect on the fact that I didn't bring that many clothes here. Hmm.
Oh well. The point wasn't to bring that many anyway. What can I do with my wardrobe in Japan? They're all shortsleeved and... stuff. Not that it matters that much anymore. I think. Point is. I chose not to bring it. For some reason which eludes me now. I'm going to have to find some more stuff here. ASAP.
Which reminds me. I have to sort out my old baju kurong... I seem to have a closet full of them but no idea whether I can still wear them or not.
Not through violence, but through the word alone

Brunei oh Brunei
It's hot. A different kinda hot from Japan - it's dryer. I've been staying mostly indoors all this while - only going out to shop and do groceries etc. I haven't managed to call my friends (sorry!) and my sleeping schedule is whacked out. I've been playing FF12 since I got back - since I want to finish the game ASAP. I clocked 46 hours in my game (which I left) in Japan and had to restart because I'm playing the English version now. Otherwise I'd be studying. It's a very... unsatisfying routine of gaming and studying, sleeping, eating and shopping. But - hey, these are what holidays are meant for! [I actually can't wait to go back into the rhythm at Uni (-gasp- I can't believe I just said that!..)]
I'm off to restart my project. -The books I brought back. I really should be reading them. I'm going to start with Kathy Reichs' book first.

Changi again
Right, so, after a half-hour delay due to the aircraft arriving late in Osaka, we actually arrived on time (weird? well, the pilot seemed in a hurry so he got us in in good time). There was trouble on the plane, actually. I never thought that I would actually hear -live- an announcement made calling for people with medical experience on the plane. There was someone about 4 seats over on the other side of the plane from me that was having trouble breathing. I saw something white around his mouth (I sure hope that it wasn't foam!), but I suppose that they found someone since they managed to move the person to the nearest exit to be moved immediately after docking.
Whereas I, fell asleep again. I only woke up at the bump when the plane landed. I used to hate landing - because of the stuffy ears and all, but, well, I guess I'm okay now. The bump's not the best way to wake up though.
We arrived at 10.30pm (I actually thought that it was 11.30... because I forgot to reset my watch haha) and went straight to the Transit Hotel after buying Kathy Reichs' book - Bones to Ashes. It looks promising.
Now, as promised, I've gone and bought those burgers -good thing I remembered to bring an extra bag. Well. Not 'bag' really, it's just a paper bag that'll save me the trouble of carrying it.
In any case. I also fulfilled the promise to myself to travel light - and I have, and it feels good. I should do it more often.
Well, I'm off to the gate now. It's 2 more hours till the next flight but I'll cope - bought the book after all for this. (Had forgotten to bring any reading material when I was in Osaka.) Cheers, I guess. If you're in Brunei - then I'll see you soon! (^^)

I'm flying back to Brunei tomorrow!
Erk. Technically? Today. I'm waiting for sahur. Well. I could probably just eat while typing right now but... oh well. I'm half-asleep already.
The plan is to leave the apartment by 1pm (so i can arrive at the airport by 2.30pm, at least- I really hope that it doesn't rain). And, well, the flight is at 4.55pm so I have time to lounge around and do nothing... ...
I arrive at Singapore by 10.30 and my connecting flight is at 9am the next day.
I haven't been on an airplane in so long. I don't remember protocol anymore.
Anyway. My baggage is packed and I'm pretty sure that I'm over the 20kg limit again. I really don't know why.
First thing I'm going to do tomorrow though is try to run down to Rokko-michi to get a haircut. *Please don't rain.*
I'm writing absurdly short. Something must be wrong with my circuits today. ... ...
