A Day to celebrate ~

I first met her when I was 18, that would be 6 years ago

at the orientation of our japanese school-IBT.

We didn't had any eye contact or that sort, not even a 'Hi' or 'what's your name' that sort,

only knowing she'll be my classmate yet not expecting much.

And then came the first day of school,

although I can't excatly remember how we got to know each other.

I do remember when we first went to Mid Valley on a Friday for lunch,

our conversation got heat up a lot, and we can't seem to stop since then

and no looking back.

Mid Valley became our favorite hang out place especially on Friday because we had extra long hours for lunch, or we prefer to go shopping first, or both.

I even remembered we counted how many times we will get to come Mid Valley until graduate.

And now looking back, time sure flies fast. very fast indeed.

we are in Japan now, in the same state yet 2 hours apart but I am still glad we are in the place,

instaed of her being in Akita.so honestly i was a bit glad to know that when she didn't make it to that school. ><

6 years it's not a long timing but I felt that I've known her more than that.

we've gone through from relationship problems, family matters, all sort of dillemas

and it made our friendship stronger than ever.

I'm thankful that she is always there to listen, to talk, to keep me company

and best of all, she is always the first to sense when there is something wrong with me even though I tried not to show it out.

Yet it is funny to know that we are so different in so many ways.

Basiclly she is the chatty one while I'm the quiet one.

She tend to stand out in the crowd more while I prefer to be the backdrop.

She is brave enough to ask whenever she feels something isn't right while I might just stand aside.

I love sweets but she doesn't and although we love Starbucks, we never ordered the same menu.

She'll probably go for latte while I ordered mocha because she prefer a bit of bitterness in it.

I love love chocolate especially milk chocolate yet she prefer liquor chocolate which I don't.

And I think the best part of all, we have totally different taste on guys.

on the bright side, we would never fight for the same guy ><

But as we all know it is already our final year and we don't know what future hold for us.

And the fear of being apart.

but not matter what I'm still looking forward to celebrate your birthday together for many many years to come^^

To my Dear a.k.a Joanne Wong:

Happy 23th Birthday *^^*/

and I'll see you in another 12hrs later ^^

PEACE to Hiroshima

I should have posted my Hiroshima trip days ago since i'm already back for a week.

but having a sore throat gave me the blues. However , I'm fine now and working hard$$ everyday.

So here comes HIroshima.

Away from Osaka to Hiroshima, which marks the beginning of Golden Week in Japan

and although Japan is still trying to recover from the economy crisis,

people going to overseas have raised this year because of a drop in fuel surcharge.

***************

on a bright sunny Friday, off we went in Shinkansen.

as it was a 3hr ride, we had lunch in the train.

they call it 'eki ben' in Japanese, which means lunch box that is only sold in train station.

there were a huge variety to choose from and I was definitely having a hard time doing so.

getting a feel of the real thing^^

first destination of the day in HIroshima: Miyajima

which is famous for the temple and the red door?, i dont't know what you call it

, which is waht you are seeing right now,

A closer look of it. btw, tourist were every where includin us but what I meant was blonde, brunetts etc...><

what was left after the bombing on Aug 5 1945

Quiz: who is more stunning? the rose or the girl?

to me, definitely the later one .

she is pretty not only from the outside, on the inside too

we even had a slumber party in the hotel with all the gossip and girls talk is definitely a must

the famous Momiji Manju, or should I say cakes in the shape of maple leaves.

I tried on one with cheese in it and it was definitely the best ever I keep craving for more ><

candid shot for the day.

I have not idea what were trying to do, or not to do.

I just felt like P-chan always had a special connection with animals, especially deers.

And they seem to like her too ^^

this armor was in the hotel that we were staying, not any museum.

Last but not least, a group photo of us to end this post ><
