Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

Was supposed to spend the night in Kobe and head to Himenoji Castle, but discovered it was under construction so... Yeah, I returned to the hostel last night. Save my time and money, and if thinks go well, we will probably head to Osaka Namba area? I have no idea where we can go to shop and eat other than Shinsaibashi? No wonder people always say that Tokyo is the place to go to shop? I'm not sure if that is true if Osaka is any gauge? This area is a bit limited if you're not willing to fork out more than 2000yen for a shirt... Either that or Singaporeans are really price conscious? I felt that shopping in Hong Kong was far more affordable. Taiwan was pretty decent when there are sales as well? Or maybe just everything in Japan is expensive.

I am supposed to revise my work but I'm surfing YouTube? And I find that its pretty hard to revise when I don't have a deadline? School has made it such that its pretty tough for me to work without deadlines. As if its not as important until I have no more time. Pressure cooking my own life. Play hard, work hard is not a good mantra for people who need rest. And I need to start sleeping earlier. Sleeping at 2am everyday and waking at 730am is not the way to go for good skin and a healthy body. My complexion is atrocious and I am often tired after a day out. At home I go out until about 11pm before heading home? But here 830pm is about my limit. While most shops are closed by around 8pm and there is no reason to stay out, the train back to the hostel is often rather painful if I don't get a seat?

Not much to say except that I keep eating sweets. Japan is full of omiyage sweets, and most of it is either matcha or red bean, and often, its both together. Initially, I went gaga over everything and wanted to try everything... But after a while, you realise that the flavours are all about the same. Yes, there are differences in texture and the intensity of the sweetness among other minor factors. The main thing is that it is generally the same, and gets boring quickly. Somehow, they manage to make Western sweets taste similar too? So now everything sweet that I eat seems like it cames from the same shop, but was worked on by a different patisseur. Sad but true. Maybe I should avoid sweets for a while so that my tongue will stop categorising it all into the same category? No idea.

Room is in an organised mess not unlike my own bedroom. And I've sort of misplaced my luggae key twice already in this place I call my room. Always left it in my luggage, which is why I had to upend the bag to find the key. Sigh. I need to get a huge keychain to securemy key. Misplacing it twice in less than 2 weeks is a kind of accomplishment I think? Not that I'm proud of myself for losing things. SIGH. I need to be much more careful.

On an utterly random, I'm very inspired by Park Bom from 2NE1? I love her hair and how she sings so beautifully. I love her pretty legs and how she's super funny. Weird girl, but very cute? Does not seem 27 at all... And I somehow, I feel that if I keep working ahrd at what I like and what I'm good at, I'd be able to live my life happily? Just a bit of optimism to keep me alive here...
