The weather wasn’t really good on the last day of my visit. It was raining all day and the skies a constant grey. After some temple visits, I decided to drop off at the Imperial Palace Park once again to check out the huge weeping cherry blossom tree. Here’s what I found instead:) It’s named 桃林.Â

Eadwine and Ron waiting for the train, heading for Geelung.
Â
Ron at the traffic lights. I think he got some really nice shots at this junction:)
Â
Serene and Eadwine, while Ron was busy playing with Eadwine’s 80mm, I mean his LEICA 80mm lens.
Â
The key to great photos, put the lens cap on:) – Photo courtesy of Eadwine.

Having said that twice in a month drew some flak from friends who realized that I was out holidaying. Once back in sg, it’s rush hour again. Got home, met up with my bro-in-law, who’s leaving for Sydney in 2 hours time. So I offered to drive him to the airport (again) and had a good chat while getting stuck in a terrible jam on the expressway. Later on, I had dinner with mum and bro’s gf. It’s been a long time since we dined out. Back home, I managed to find some time to watch Fann Wong getting disfigured on screen (ok, the make up artist did a rather convincing job).
Â
And in the most unusual places, I met a former client, Marc. He was one of the cabin crew onboard my flight. Although in my mind, I’m pretty sure it’s him, I didn’t approach him, till he gave me that “hey, are you…” look, then I went, “Marc?”. Sometimes, we meet people in the most amazing places:) After watching the “non video-on-demand” version of Blood Diamond, I went down to the crew area and had a chat with him. And I got a goodie bag full of amenities:) Thanks for that dude!
Â
[tag]Blood Diamond[/tag] is cool… very strong performance by the oscar nominees, love it!:) And… Jennifer Connelly? I think she’s pretty hot. Love that part when they were on the phone.
Â
Â
Ok, I’m too tired to write tonight… it’s a long day tomorrow. Here’s just one of the [tag]self portraits[/tag] that I like:)

Camera noise?:P

After a 5 hour walk out in the cold, I came back with a fever. My legs started to turn wobbly towards the end of the trip. Slept for a good 4 hours before waking up, asking the hotel staff to bring in some panadols. Sleep was pretty disturbed, with me waking up a couple of times to check my mails, read some news, watch some B-grade crap… blah blah blah.
Â
Then this morning, after taking a shower. My friend asked me if I felt the room shaking an hour ago. I said no. Then I was told that there was an [tag]earthquake[/tag] a while ago, which was confirmed later on the news.
Â
Nevermind, about the earthquakes and fever… it’s all over. Going out to soak in Kyoto.
Â
One more thing worth mentioning… the toilet bowl!! woohoo!! Super high tech stuff (maybe I’m suaku… but this thing rocks man!):P I’ll do a demo and post the video soon:P

Oh yeah, and Ead, thanks in adv for sending me to the airport. And you say… charge by what?:P
