Ohai-o-gozaimas Tokyo!

I have finally made it to Japan - have read, watched and heard so much of this intriguing country but never made it till now. Koks and I just spent a week in Tokyo, and it has been nothing short of intriguing and eye opening. I can't wait to share some of my findings, observations and travel tips here! Konichiwa!!

It's back to the 'pore tomorrow afternoon, and just a few more weeks before the end of the year (and the reemergence of the Starbucks Christmas drinks! WOOHOO TOFFEE NUT LATTE, come to mama!!!) Two more trips till the arrival of 2011 - Sri Lanka and the exotic island of Bali, and one life changing event *gulp*. The rest of the year will be busy, but in a good way, which is great.

Scarlett performs in a week at the Fort Canning Green!!! Can't wait!! It'll be for a charity event presented by Action for AIDS. We're always up for contributing to a good cause!

Brilliant Ideas, Brilliant Minds

I spent a big part of today looking at some very inspiring websites, such as The Cool Hunter (www.thecoolhunter.net), globorati (www.globorati.com), The Sartorialist (thesartorialist.blogspot.com) and Garance Dore (www.garancedore.fr). Inspirations come in so many forms, and through so many channels - it feels great to be inspired.

While chatting with Niks Biks today, I suddenly had a mind image of a person lost in the middle of an ocean in chopping seas, struggling to stay afloat. It's thundering, it's dark, and the sea was of a blue so dark that it was almost black. And suddenly, he/she sees someone else who was also lost and struggling in the waters. There, in the middle of vast nothingness, the situation created instant soul mates out of the two persons, bonded by desperation and hope. It is easier to hope when one is not alone.

Immediately, I penned down this inspiration, and I will strive to write a short story out of it. If not, just an account of this fictitious experience of my actors.

And now, i have another inspiration to start something very VERY exciting (among the million other things that I'm currently doing... saxophone, yoga, greek lessons, scarlett... or and of course, work!) But i have a good feeling about this, so i'm going to continue to grow my seedling of inspiration for Project "Let's Go", stay tuned!
