We are headed for Tokyo next weekend, and I can't wait! This time round, the mister has most admirably done all the planning, so I get to be a lemming and just follow his directions. Here's the lemming routemap, at a glance:

Day 1 - Hello Japan! Lemming HQ at Shinjuku.
Day 2 - Enoshima Island, Kamakura
Day 3 - Kawagoe
Day 4 - Tsukiji, Asakusa, Ueno, Akihabara
Day 5 - Ginza, Tokyo, Odaiba
Day 6 - Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya
Day 7 - The lemmings return to Singapore

I hope next week flies by! :D

身边有很多朋友的生活都在改变，也不知道是环境变了，所以生活理念也跟着变了， 或者是因为顺应生活理念上的改变，所以转换了跑道。总而言之，就是。。。变了。

一个一向很 “不食人间烟火”的老同学， 昨天对我说了， “钱不一定能买到幸福。不过，有钱可以带来更多选择， 有更多的选择，就可能找到快乐。No choice, 很辛苦。”  我虽然明白她想说的 （因为别的朋友也说过类似的话）， 但是从她的口里听到这番话，还是满震撼的。 我开始怀念从前那个纯朴的她。

是我长不大吗？不切实际？开始觉得自己有点象个苦行僧， 在人人在找捷径让日子好过一点的世界里， 我还在坚持 "苦中作乐“ 。 为了什么，我也不是很清楚， 只隐隐约约知道，害怕在花花世界迷失了自己。

while the beds are burning ?...

After my last horrifying experience with the CSO of Citibank... i'm sad to say I have to call them again today... cos after cancelling my card, I still receive a bill from them, with late charges included... and guess what? the amount is for their annual membership fee... its like WTF.... and on their bill, they still state that the card has been cancelled upon my request... *sighz* what is their billing department doing...

anyway, i called them early this morning... waited for a good 5 minutes before my call was picked up.. but luckily this time round a got a good CSO, her name is Joyce... I told her about the details and she went on the check and revert to me that it will be rectified by the next bill... and she even went on to wish me a Happy Birthday (although its a few days ago)... well, these are the CSO that should be praise for their service... :) if only they have a means for me to do, but I'm no longer a customer of Citibank (ironically).... hahahahaha...

anyway I just hope by the "next bill", the figure is really rectified....

Contrary to most pple, I didn't celebrate my big 3-Os day.... in fact i got a little touchy that I'm getting old... :( well its really scary you know... turning from one digit at the front of your age... when its from 1 to 2, it was like oh i'm looking forward to my 21st... but when its from 2 to 3... its like shite, what have I been doing for the last 30 years of my life... :P

but I'm still blessed... having born in december, it means that most of my friends are already 30 when its my turn... at least i feel better that way... hahahahahaa... :P

anyway, it had been an eventful year for me.... i just wish for good health for myself, my family and my friends.... and if possible, some luck too... :)

Yes! Its one month to Christmas!!!

Ermmm... no plans yet for Christmas, but yah I just like the season... :P haven't done much shopping yet, still clueless what to get... *headache*
