The break-upsp
I still remembered when I first got you I was so excited I couldn't sleep.
Those wonderful memories.
The trips we went together.
The hours we spent in the everywhere, especially in the bedroom, planes and hotels.
ahh.... the fun.
But as time goes priorities changed.
And then I saw and touched you, the feelings came back but it seemed like we have distanced.
So I'm selling you away to a stranger for $80 in carousell. I really hope he takes good care of you.
I will miss you my PSP.

The drinking weekends
The weekend before I went to reservist I needed to drink because of work, and I had promised Jarren to join him on Satuday night and the gang was drinking at the same bar. Jarren and I were perfect 5-10 partners and we were beating everyone else LOL. Super fun night and around 3am I wanted to call a cab home then Edward cancelled my grab and we went to eat at a Korean restaurant and had a soju bomb each. That was the reason Andrew went a bit crazy and the reason I had merlioned after I reached home and showered at 4.30am.
The hangover the next day was so bad I had to go to the gym with coconut water to shake it off.
The week after my reservist started, we ended early on Friday so I had my first round with Xiano at my regular gin bar. They change their regular specials every month so it's Napue this time! Second round again with Jarren and gang but this time I was better than last weekend, but somewhat high. Ended at 3am.
And then Saturday came, karaoke with Ah Lian and we ordered 5 bottles of beer at 5pm in the afternoon. I didn't want to drink at first because of last night but well... alcohol opens up your vocal cords. Yes my voice finally opened up. That was round 1.
I had always wanted to visit this place after my friend told me about their curry, but their Salmon Mentaiko-dan was so delicious. Omg I want to go Japan NOM NOM NOMZ.
Torched Mentaiko and salmon sashimi on top of seasoned rice.
Then we had a second round at Joo bar, this Korean beer with Yuzu soju slush is slurps.
In the end I think I spent most of my salary on alcohol.
One of my friend is buying a Japanese gin back for me and another gin from a Micro-Distillery in London.
Liver please.

Second Reservist
It's rare to have 2 high keys within the year but it happened to my unit.
This time round I was more prepared and know what is expected after the first reservist I had in March, but it was actually better because it is more relaxed. Cookhouse food was still as bad, the bunk and toilet conditions were still as bad, but we got to go home after activity ends everyday so it's a relief for me. I just can't live without a hot shower and a air con room for sleeping. For the 5 days I never had to stay overnight at the bunks because my driving friend would pick me up on the way in the morning. THANK YOU ANDY.
The toughest activity for the whole week was actually to walk from the training shed to the range complex, which was around 1km away. Other than that, this reservist was one of the most relaxed one as claimed by my other unit mates. Well lucky me! Oh and we got to earn $200 extra for marksman.
My mates were still the same, dad bods and all but I realised we became nicer and funnier. We would make all the stupid jokes while walking to one place and another and it was such a happy atmosphere in a crappy physical environment, it made everything better.
I was expecting that the cohesion at the end of the reservist was to watch Thor, so I didn't catch it immediately and I was spot on.
Anyway I really like this second reservist. It gave me a good break away from work and I almost didn't have to think about anything at all and I can drink however I want during the weekends. Which I did.

chatting with Andrew
After drinking last night we went to a Korean restaurant but I wasn't eating. Andrew went out to smoke and he texted me to come out so I joined him. He is already quite crazy in person and even crazier when he's drunk, and he's always drunk when he drinks. He told me some complicated things that set me thinking today. And I had a really bad hangover.
Why do people like to make things so complicated? Because of desire and greed?
Is that why relationships and matters of the heart are so complicated?
Why are people so selfish and only care about themselves?
As a person I make others happy because I want to be around people who are happy and that makes me happy. I hate selfish people who takes advantage of that and want to keep that happiness for themselves instead of sharing it. I don't want to be around rude or emo or hot tempered people. Nobody likes that as well.
How should I manage the colleagues in office?
Should I be straightforward or beat around the bush?
Should I judge them for how they work?
Why am I suddenly feeling this philosophical shit.
Alcohol makes me think so much.

Planning next trip
It's time to plan for my snowboarding trip.
I'm going to Myoko in January but I haven't confirm who's coming. Ed is considering because his wife is due to delivery early Feb and he's a bit worried so he wants to go early but there's no snow if it's too early.
I would go alone around my birthday if he's not coming, then Piti would come with me if he has no travel plans. It's really difficult to book Mieko's resort because Myoko is getting increasingly popular, luckily I emailed Mieko-san to reserve a room for me.
Flights are still considerably cheap around that period, but I would need to book fast.
Anyway I have to clear my leave during the Xmas to NY period. I had been there thrice during that period and the previous time the snow was delayed so we only had a thin layer of snow so it wasn't that fun. That's what I'm worried about. Perhaps I should go somewhere else probably like Siam Reap or Danang or Bangkok since Piti had been asking me to visit him. Hm.....

End of Jap level 2
Wow! We finished another 10 weeks of Japanese lesson! Pat on the back!
I have decided to persevere and take on Elementary level 3 Japanese, so I can keep up with the momentum and not forget anything. Plus our teacher is super enthusiastic and funny, and my classmates are super fun, that makes the whole class really fun. Classmates makes a huge difference.
Oh and Ms Vietnam bought me this Hanoi Vodka which I will try this weekend hehe.
