A Trip To See Them Smile

Finally...I got a chance to go on a trip to over sea again. It had been a while since I went to Vietnam by myself...more than a year actually. Guess you know how much I missed travel?As I mentioned in my last post, I went to SINGAPORE (and Malaysia)! Haha, you may think I'm crazy that I'm visiting the country every year these 3 years. I'm sorry to say this, but personally, Singapore itself is not that attractive for me enough to visit again and again. I'm sure, I wouldn't have visited there this much IF I didn't have anyone I really really wanna see :) So, we flied there almost just to see them and cerebrate their great step for their dream.

Actually, the time we spent there was short. It's an of course thing, you'll be busy once you start working. So, even the purpose of the trip was seeing them, and eat the ramen they serve at their stall, it doesn't mean you can spend time with them as same as when we spent time together 2 years ago. I remember they took days off and spent most of the time with us during the trip (it was about 2.5 days in Singapore!), and treated us in a very sweet way. It was beyond what we expected and we really enjoyed it!! They know how to make people feel happy; that's what I feel. I really respect it, and feel it will be nice if I someone feels the same way as me spending time with me; you can't stop smiling, and you feel very happy and satisfied inside of your heart :) Even we are apart in Singapore and Japan, I believe that they are one of really nice people that I can rarely meet in my whole life...and when I say this, I really mean it. So, I definitely want to be life long friends with them...even if it's one-sided...it doesn't matter because what they let us feel is the truth for us. Anyway, sorry for the long introduction, now the main thing starts, here you go.

Incredibly Busy Month Is Over

I've been just literally very busy this month. Been working over time on weekdays, having tight schedule every weekends, etc. etc. And the fact that I'm moving out soon is making me even busier because I had to go shopping to buy a lot of stuff to bring my new place. Going through those things, time passed by so quickly, and finally, this month end up with one of my biggest events...as you know, the trip I've been looking forward with my sister since a few months ago.

The aim of the trip was "Eating ramen in Singapore"...it was a trip to see our most precious friends actually, and at the same time, a good chance to add some "done" check to my to do list :) You know what kind of people can make us fly to another country, and you can guess how much we love them hearing that we miss them A LOT already since just after saying bye at Changi Airport last night. Actually, I was about to weep when I got to Narita Airport this morning (Shhh, it's a secret :P).

Anyway, I'll update this blog with my new travelogue as soon as possible. So, please don't miss it! But for now, I have to concentrate on my upcoming event; Washtub race! Hahaha, it's almost there!!!

It's You Guys That Make Us Fly!

Yeah! It's time to check on my to do list again!! It's been a while since I did it for the last time. More than a year?!??!!!!? Maybe it's a lie. I know I accomplished a few of of them, after my trip to Vietnam. But as you know, even I got some chance to fulfill a few more things on my to do list, they weren't that excited. Basically, I have to be somewhere that the air is completely different from what I usually feel. So, outside of Japan or in a very close situation will be great. Anyway, do you know where I'm going next???

...SINGAPORE AGAIN!

OK, telling you honestly, Singapore itself is not that interesting country (I'm sorry)...at least, I don't think I will visit there again and again for sightseeing and my sister has the same opinion as me. HOWEVER, I think I'll visit there sometime because I have great friends there. I've written about them a few times in the past posts with an appreciation...We've been friends for 4 years...actually, we started as online friends and met in person for the first time when they visited Japan 2007 in winter. Next time when we met was when my sister and I visited Singapore in 2009. As I stopped over in Singapore on my way to Cambodia in 2010 January, I got to meet them for the 3rd time :) And this time, we're flying there again to see them...it seems that I'm visiting Singapore once in a year since 2009, lol.

Having his own restaurant; That's his dream that he's kept telling me since when we became friends in 2007. Now, they started their business with selling cookies online and finally got a stall to serve noodles after months. Of course it's not the end for them because what they want is their restaurant. However, it's nothing but a really great step for their dream. For our great friends' great step forward, why don't we fly there to celebrate them and eat the food they serve! So, actually we are flying to Singapore to eat their noodle!!! Seeing a friend can be a reason enough to make us fly to another country...of course the person worth doing it (^_-)-☆ My sister and I are sure that they are one of those kind of precious friends that we can meet just a few in our whole life.

Of course, even though the purpose of this trip is seeing friends, I'm not gonna miss taking advantage of the opportunity of fulfilling my to do list that I still have on my mind :P We'll see how many checks I will add when everything is done. And finally, here is an article of when a food blogger who featured them on his blog. Check it out, and if you're interested, visit their stall to grab some ramen! ...Of course, if you are close enough to visit there, lol.
