Fat Boy

ummm.. as i've said i gained 3kg in a week, in japan
i don't get it, but i just can't get enough of japanese food......

ok here are some numbers from my trip:
2        -- remaining days in Japan
12      -- days i've spent in Japan
1300  -- photos i took during the first week in Aki's hometown
800    -- photos i took in 2 days of Tokyo
2500  -- total photos taken up to date (12 days)
1xxxx -- ringgit we spent in this Japan trip (woaaa....)

can't believe i'm going home soon, i think i will cry when leaving
cry only for 1 reason, the good food
i'm going with an empty wallet
3kg heavier
1 extra luggage
1 crying wife

3 long days

3 days from now and i'll be in Japan with Princess Akiko
eating the famous Sanuki Udon in Kagawa, the udon haven

And as for now, i'm working OT till 1am everynight like never before
cause it's Hari Raya and everyone wants things done before hand

think i'll only have time to update when i'm off to japan
sitting in Princess Akiko's room

so hang in there, people....

mo    : Happy Mid Autumn Festival
germ : wahahahaha... did u just direct translated it from chinese?
mo    : direct translated what? Mid Autumn Fes?
germ : yea~!  that sound so cheesy!!!  Happy Mid Autumn, Happy End Winter.....etc
mo    : then what should it be called?
germ : Moon Cake Festival
mo    : hahahaha.... lol, sounds cheesier

so i finally learned that HK has a different translation of the day
Mid Autumn Festival
hmmm... maybe it sound more interlectual this way
and ours...Moon Cake Festival, sounds damn childish rite??

Nvm, so i'm gonna go for Chun & May's Wedding tonight
ignoring the other 2 invitations i got from work friends.
Just what the hell is with this Mook Cake day? 
why the whole town wants to get married on this one particular day?
Hey all ya Feng Shui masters out there, couples who wed on this day
will hit the Lottery??
maybe i too should've chosen this day?

Talking about weddings......
I have gotten 6 wedding invitations (up to now) between october to december
including the 3 for today alone
It's sorta like i'm getting my salary from work
just to pay newly wed couples. 

alright, i better go take shower before the princess nag at me again
btw, the new house is coming along fine
must get it done before CNY
