Move forward, move on, move off, move up against, move back; directions are but choices circumstances offer you in a platter, whether of expensive silver refined and highly polished to reflect our blank countenances or caked in flaky rust and inflicted with scratches aplenty.

We will all find our way, eventually.
And it boils down to the matter of whether you want to or not.

Hello, you’ve probably forgotten about this space.

9/7. A leisure trip with the entire company to Johor, my first in many many years, to mark this day. It was great to know I could speed on in the impromptu races while go-karting – no need for a driving licence – minus the minor crash incident which earned me bruises and a weak wrist, as well as submerge myself in the satisfaction of street photography once again (dad has gotten the Fujifilm F30 fixed, and I’m bent on selling my Canon point-and-shoot; a long story but it goes all the way back to the Japan trip, which I never got to blog about) surrounded by a quite disparate kind of flavour.

The funny thing is, half of this entry was written in 2008 and completed only now. Most of the details have already become fuzzy, but thanks to the AAA 2008 DVD we get to live through their wonderful Kokuritsu performance again and again. Written because.. I owe myself -_- and it wouldn’t make sense to write about 5×10 if I haven’t finished this.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

( Concert Day 2 / Note: Very long entry ahead.. )

Clearly I’ve never known of the hassle that comes attached with the beautiful picture depicted by “WINTER” until I started shopping for appropriate clothes, and then deciding what exactly to wear is altogether a different issue. Due to my non-existent fashion sense, I painstakingly mixed and matched them, noting down so I would be at least a mile away from becoming a walking fashion disaster on the streets of ZOMG Japan.

First of the many firsts of this year (oh, did I mention we are ALL freaking celebrating our twenty firsts?): a holiday trip with the family to Nagoya and Osaka during winter from Jan 15-22. Is this too awesome or what??

I know it’s been long overdue – one year, spell y.e.a.r – the concert report for the finale of AAA 08 in Shanghai, but heck! Without finishing it, I’ll owe myself another one *with a kazillion and satozillion moments worth spazzing about*, that is Arashi’s 5×10 Anniversary concert in Nagoya Dome~~~~~~!!! Finale show :D This is so thrilling – the mental image of meeting them upfront again in Jappoland – that I might just pass out from an Arashi overdose at the concert XD

So far things are looking good; I’ve recovered from my bout of illnesses and more than ready to embrace the chilly winds (and snow? pretty please??); my packing is almost done and I’m only missing several items like a new wallet and a light coloured scarf; I got new brown coloured contacts today when I went to have my eyes checked, etc. Yet the itinerary is still undone. Omg.

Hello!Japan in about 24 hours :)
