Tokyo

back from Tokyo.

was a 1 week break with the wife. flew SQ into Narita with a transit in Bangkok, and they made us get off, and walk one big round to board again.

the excellent cabin crew managed to rescue my personal earphones which I forgot to remove from the aircraft, and returned them to me when i re-boarded the plane. if the security crew found it, it would've become someone's brand new earphones. indeed a great way to fly.

not going to write much, as it was a whole week worth of adventure, but it was really great. 3 days in tokyo, then 1 at lake kawaguchiko at a ryokan, then back to tokyo, then 1 day in Disneyland. i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

i'm not exactly gone

but i'm not entirely here either.

it's just been pretty boring for me, with days starting at 3pm and ending at midnight, supporting a client in the UK and having to deal with a broadband connection that is best described as starhub LAGonline, coupled with a ridiculously stringent vpn system, life hasn't been worth updating at all.

but since i've returned from the land of our colonial masters, i've quite enjoyed the food, people, places, not so much of the weather, but hot beats cold and wet anytime.

and once i'm back, i get bitten by the mod virus. it's plain evil i tell you. first was the sprint booster, swapped out to the velocity, which basically is an adjustable sprint booster. then somehow the right wheel was rubbing against the bodywork, so i went to get it aligned, and it was still rubbing, and i replaced the mtech absorbers with koni fsds. occasionally there's still rubbing, but i'm not too sure why. waiting for a run up north to yong peng to figure it out.

went diving. :D

got a new lens for the camera, a 50mm f1.8/d, very happy with it. learning to do HDR now.

and last but not least, goodbye. i'll be in tokyo for a week from tomorrow. sayonara! pictures will be on flickr.
