Finally and update!! Been busy going around doing stuff and did not really had the chance for an update :)

First off, KL was great. Spent most of my time with Pei and Seong. Damn fun wei.. love their companies.. these are the friends I really love to hang out with. Sorry Pei, made u walk a lot!! hahah Stop complaining. :P Seong, still got stock ah??

To begin with, my luggage was overweight :S I had 2 check in.. one carry on.. a laptop bag.. and "Friday".. If only "Friday" could help carry some. :/

Arrive Sunday morning. Whoa damn hot and I was last to go through customs.. Stupid passport!! @##@$%$&*$%@@#$!~ whats with Malaysian passports? Seriously?? But its all good, Im changing mine soon muahhhaha...

When I finally got out, had to go through baggage check.. the officers were wondering why I have women clothings :s Long story but they were nice.. Then there was the train.. took me 20 mins t figure out how to buy a ticket as it was automated. You get it from a machine that is all in Jap. Got on train..to Tennoji Station, then from that take another train on the Kanjo Loop line to go to Kyobashi. From Kyobashi, to Min's stop, Konoieke-shinden station. Not bad, had to lug about 50kgs of luggage around in the heat (50kg in total with cabin, laptop 11kg's backpack 15kgs, KL never checks). Oh reached there.. i asked a girl for directions.. she answered me back in English.. haha cuz she studied in LA before. Darn.. pai seh.. she probably thought my jap is crap.

oK here is where the story starts, I got hui mins written address.. then from the pictures sent to her by email of her apartment.. I manage to get it on google earth.. It was exactly that and Hui min said it was correct.. but NO... she was in another apartment.. bot the one I found on google earth. I kncked the door to #205, waited no asnwer.. then after about 20 mins this groggy just-woke-up jap dude answered.. I was like f#rk :S Sure enough I got the wrong place..

The thing is.. i was supposed to arrive Monday. But i rescheduled my flights a day earlier.. to surprise her.. Lucky enough, the Jap dude was nice enough to show me to another apartment #107. This is where i met Paul Johnson. Form OZ and working at the same company as Min. Hah.. He knew where I was supposed to go.. sort of. Cuz he knew were other "gaijins" that working with the company stayed. He took me there as he had a car ('07 Forester STI summore!).. it was totally in the opposite direction of the google earth map I did. Ringed the bell, no one answered. Ringed a few times.. Mins answered and she just woke up.. It took her a few minutes to click to realise it was me.. so unload luggage. And then first thing first... kena nagged for ngak-ing her and coming a day earlier.. and also wasting her effort of drawing maps and instructions of how to get here when I supposedly arrive the day after.. sorry babe Afterall, she was happy to see me. So was I.

After I settled in, Min and I went to Tenjinbashisuji-shopping street. It literally is a long shopping street like Petaling st, but better.. and longer. Spans about 3kms A lot of intersting things. Had lunch there..

The next day, Min had work, so I went to Den Den Town, where they sell all electrical and electronic appliances. The whole area is like that, not just a building. There are stores and stroes litreally selling hardwares, gadgets, appliacnes etc.. even has a few Anime shops.. i mean 5 story high shops selling just anime stuff.. and a Gundam building. 5 stories of pure gundam goodness.. Man.. Love it.. Met Min for lunch, went to this Sushi place near her work. yummm.. sushi the way Japs make it.. hahah Then I went to Umeda for a while. chicks everywhere.. :D We had beef fried with eggs for dinner. Meat here is damn ex man! For like a few pieces of beef is already $15 bucks. Seafood is cheap. Maybe thats why people eat out.. save time and money. Seriously, poeple overwork here, esp on salary summore, no OT bonuses. Mins work time for now is usually 9am till about 830pm. But uts expected to be normal when they finish at 11pm... too much!~

Tuesday, walked min to work as usual, then went back to Den Den town again to get some speakers.. a dvd player and some other small household stuff.. Electronics here are damn cheap... seriously.. esp Plasma TV's and LCD's. I saw a 50" Plasma for about 2000 nzd. man.. Came home after lugging a huge box of speakers. :P Cooked dinner.. Had chicken stew, yumm. Been walking too much.. damn tiring and the only time I can spend time with min is around 8pm to about 12am.. then bed time di. And i fell asleep a few times while watching dvd. Sorry min, I know im supposed to teman you and our times together is limited and precious.. but I was just really tired.

Wednesday, morning walk to office :D then went to Umeda to change some currencies.. where I got lost ahhaha silly me. Then went back to tenjinbashi-suji shopping area to get this cow floor mat that minsaw the other day that she really wanted. And I tapaued pearls.. Also went to den den town to get some gadgets and household items. I should go to more places than just these few lolz Was expecting min and her Scottish colleague for dinner, so cooked more stew and brown noodles. yummm.. but they came home around 9ish.. so Laura decided to have dinner at her own place. 2 doors away nia :P Spend the rest of the evening with min, and she was telling me jokes sent by Mich. I fell asleep, halfway through the last joke about the this guys that called up the operator asking a lot of silly IT questions.. again, min wasn't happy, Sorry darling, I really was tired.

Thursday, walked min to work :D then went to find the upper-class 100Y store. Couldn't find it. So came home to do some uni work and clean up the place, rest and do some laundry. Didn't want to go out cuz I didn't want to be too tired again, so I can spend proper nights with min without end up argue-in cuz i fell asleep.. :) Lets hope it works...Plus there was a thunder storm today so didn't want to walk around in the rain. :P

haha anyways.. photos coming up soon. Have gone out at night for night pictures. Will get some soon :P

Thinking of where to go next and in the weekend?? hmmm

Woman: You would? *With a hurtful look on her face*
Man: *audible groan*
Woman: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
Man: Where else would we sleep?
Woman: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
Man: That would seem like the proper thing to do.
Woman: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
Man: She can't use them -- she's left-handed.
Woman: *silence*
Man: Sh*t.

UNI IS DONE!~ (2:15pm @ vault)

woOt!~ holidays are here. In vault now printing stuff i need to bring for my trip tomorrow. See you babe in a few days! Can't wait. I'm excited to go but also feeling that I shouldn't go or don't want to go because i know I have to come back :S. Sad but true. YaY, I'm going!~ There are still a few things I need to do before I go, little errands such as changing some currency at least and packing etc. Speaking of packing.. I'm not progressive. :/ How ah? Kau dim later.

I know its pathetic but I'm printing some maps :P Like here is one I found on Google earth. Managed to find Min's new apartment. Figured it out from pictures sent through to her by email, not address. Smart yeah? Smart..

Have to remember to bring all I need :S and what I need to do while stopping in KL. Sounds hectic!~

Tuesday is cheap movie tickets day. Went to watch Die Hard 4.0, as expected not as good as I thought it would be. Went with dad and lil bro. Storyline is interesting but actions seems fake, unbelievable. I still prefer Die hard 3. But hey we live in a modern day era, 'firecell' = armageddon aka cyber warfare. Movie was let say 5/10, the JD coke made it better. lolz.

Speaking of which, the highlight of the movie, "Mai" asian ass kicking, kung-fu fighting, sexy and gorgeous, well for now :). Man I reckon she is hot. No? Maggie Q. pheww that eurasian look.. chunnn...

well not this pic lah, thats from the movie, can't find better ones. She looked best in the FBI bullet proof vest and those big sunnies.. :P Anyways for you guys and girls, my criteria: sizzling hot, super sexy, amazingly adorable, beautiful, drop dead gorgeous and one hell of a character. Here it is:

My TOP 5 chick list

#1 -- ???
(for me to know only, keep guessing!~)

#2 -- Angelina Jolie

#3 -- Maggie Q

#4 -- Jessica Alba

#5 -- Megan Fox

Comments? Hot pics, nuff' said :)

dAy tHrEe & dAy fOuR

day three - Sunday

Church as usual. But man more lunches and dinner.. forever eating. "Boi come here eat, boi go this aunties house eat lunch, Boi you must come dinner later 7pm" etc, all under the ruling of one lady that controls my life at times :S Eat too much.. then there is this good old pastime, top gear. Watching old seasons, reminds me of times I watch it over with darling's dad and all asleep. Just hope I didn't snore. Wanted to go volley but family come first at times. I only see them a few days a year. Sad eh?.. Love my family, they can be annoying at times but they are wacky, everyone has a different path of life but connected together.

Tried repacking, hmm getting worried as it seems as tho the luggage is gonna burst. I need to try rearranging more stuff later. This min ah... jokes.

day four - Monday

Uni as usual. Been skipping classes to spent as much time as I could with my min. Never know when the last would be. :) It was worth it, sticking by you, through thick and thin, good and bad/hard times. Makes me appreciate you even more. Thinking of all the small errands I need to do before I go and people to meet. Hanged out at the mall with the group (Tung, Roger, Jin, Ellen+Justin, TW+Liz and Mabel) at coffee club. Buy 1 free 1 coupon. I din have anything.. just finished Justin's cheese cake which he thought was sweet. :/

Then when i JUST got home.. "Boi dinner again got this Korean place city opp ANZ bank".. I was like, AGAIN?? zomg man. SO i went, because my family was running late as they had to go west melton etc. Mom did mention "137 Hereford St". Somehow its sounded familiar. Not until I went to find it that its that Korean restaurant thats never open normally (they have weird opening hours you see, just lunch and dinner), which was where Min's IPLS was. ZOMG nostalgic. Just a few weeks ago I have been picking Min up from there or waited there for her to finish.

That korean place was weird. They don''t seem to have sang-yii wan. Like no business like that. It was only us, plus dad's sacred hearts high school friends and a chinese family. Food was okay.. Came back home so that dad can catch up with the ex-classmates, which means more wine. Been drinking a lot of wine now, which is good. Then a thought occured to me, will I be like that one day, meeting old classmates? then looking back at what we did yesteryears or now even.. Amazing as it seems but scary at the same thought as the future is in some respects, still uncertain. We can never 100% predict tomorrow. Even if we plan, but does the plans we make, fulfilled accordingly? hmm.. Just a thought. AT least for me, I'm sticking to my plans for now, short term and long term (Yeah, you know it baby!) Future - Here I come!

veni, vidi, vici

11:53pm - YOU CALLED!! But Putus! CALL BACK SOON :D
11:58pm - Miss your voice :(

dAy tWo

Yess! got my blog layout sorted, well almost! Just need to add some touches here and there and it should be good as gold. I finally have my own dot com now. www.ronaldadrian.com which basically links back to my blog.

Had lunch with family with some uncles and aunty's at one of the uncle's place. Mom made umai, yumm.. miss her cooking. yess yess fat and happy! Bweks!~ I had this sudden feeling that I needed to work out. Maybe I should start one soon. Nothing extensive, just simple workout that I picked up from my younger athletic days. I should keep myself fit, you never know when you need that extra energy :P

There's so many things I can do now and yeah, I don't know where to begin. Its good in a way that I have time to myself, but at times I kinda miss doing errands. Even if its running around driving, its the presence that matters. Although occupied with things to do, its still spending time. Taking things for granted? Perhaps. I wish I could take back the time where I never gave you all the attention you wanted and needed. Oh well, we shall look forward :)

Stay comfy in your new life babe!

TRAMP DINNER (Blogged @ 10:15pm)

Went to the tramp restaurant for dinner with my whole family and Ah Boo as sis came up for the week end. what can i say.. unique experience BUT not worth the money. Food is average and the ride was horrible.. just turn the tramp route 4 times.. service was slow.. and I wanted lamb shank but they ran out because our tables were the last to be served. So i had fish of the day, some flat fish. I asked the chinese waitress.. she don't know. Looks like Sole fish. If I had lamb shank it could have been better. But highlight of the night, Tramp hitting a parked car! lol what an experience.. because the tramp suddenly stop.. like crash stop. Wasn't the Tramp's fault but the car was illegally parked. Was in front of Little India. Whats ironic about it is that the car's plate is "hooked", I guess it just got hooked by the Tramp. Kena towed, fined and has to pay for damage on the Tramp. haha Oh well.. that made my day!

Noticed three new places I should go, a Spanish restaurant "Maitea Maison", a cafe called "The Benjamin" and a pub called "Saints and Sinners" (Not sure if it was called this but its the same pub I went with my Darling a while ago with Liezl to watch this live band playing , off the square and next to the "X" Backpackers). Interesting and they looked good from the outside. Worth a try and both the cafe and Spanish restaurant is located in the Cathedral Junction, that funny indoor place that the Tramp stops and goes through, near the square.

Tramp Restaurant rating: 3/10

Fish of the day

The Accident

dAy oNe

First day since you're gone. I feel this sudden emptiness, maybe because I'm so used to having you around. Wouldn't you be bored? Too much if me is not good perhaps? but too little is far worse. Sometimes I take you for granted. But I learn to appreciate you ever more. Amazing it is that you were just here in my arms the day before, now gone.

Sent you off yesterday, and been tracking your flight journey online. Was happy to see you in Singapore. Happy for you. Then you left to Osaka, got all your details and you arrived in Osaka, 8:24am (Japan time). But I have not heard for you since.. I hope they didn't kidnap you and sell you off.. hard for me to find you later! Im sure you arrived safely, cant wait to hear from you. Call soon.

Hence, this blog is dedicated to you my love, for times when we are apart, separated by distance. This is who I am, this is what we are, you and me.

Welcome to my world..

p/s: got your email :)
