Before I engage in The Adventures of starm|st and mangO in the Day-Time, here’s a little sidetrack of The Curious Incidents of starm|st and mangO in the Night-Time in Osaka, our last stop for the Japan trip.
Sister and I stayed in a dorm room [with two other people] at Shin-Osaka Youth Hostel on our first night in Osaka. Needless to say, we came out of it scarred for life.
Fly Me To the Moon
s t a r m | s t May 22nd, 2008
Whee! Love the ad on my blog header [urm, ok now I don't know where it disappeared to]!
For the past 2 months, I had been arranging coordinating booking blocking yaddayadda-ing stuff for people [including boss who flew back today] for conferences in Amsterdam and Copenhagen, and it left me longing for a holiday. Just look at this hotel I booked for some of them, it’s by the sea!
Gorgeous Hotel Admiral in Copenhagen.
Europe is also the best place for classical music mmmm…. [Watch Nodame Cantabile Special Lessons, yeah that Japanese drama I'm so crazy about] I want to soak in the culture, explore old castles, amble around on cobbled streets and… well, do a million and one things there!
Anyway, if you love travelling like me, do participate in the contest! Chances of winning are slim, but a chance taken is a chance given. 
Visiting Traditional Kyoto

I’ve been tardy, leaving my Nihon trip escapades as they are after the Haru experience. Can hardly remember Kyoto. Ahem.

To quote someone,
“The mood of your blog has changed ever since you migrated. More on travel, less on the now. You blog lesser now too.”
Erm, o-kay…
But see. new job -> long hours -> less social life -> not much to/that I can blog. new job -> heavier responsibilities -> stress level goes up -> more tired than usual -> less inclined to want to write. tired -> stoned -> cannot think -> cannot write.
Feeling weird these days. An empty heart, a blank mind. Kinda difficult to get words/thoughts out with that combination.
This is so not my definition of a zen-and-fuss-free life!
Need. to. get. my. sanity. back.

On something totally unrelated:
During the Nihon trip with sister, I told her this.
“I have always dreamed of meeting a guy while overseas [travelling] and then the both of us will fall in love/attraction with each other. It’s kinda like a romantic holiday romance love story.”
and then…

I have never heard of Hakodate in my entire life.
But now I have, and I would love to visit it again one day.
Appletown

Sister’s picture compilation.
I have an apple and you have two,
You give me an apple and I have one.
I eat one apple, and give one back to you.
I don’t have any apples, you still have two.
