30th Jan 2004!

It was still dark and the dawn was still cold. But the cold winter and the darkness couldn't stop a guy staying awake, who always likes to sleep till late in winter. The world was still sleeping but he still heard some voice on the stree from those who woke up early to start a new day. They were so fresh and energetic that he envied them without seeing some people who were yawning and sleepy while struggling to surive for another day. His mind was still as misty as the sky outside the room and he was hoping for the sunny days which could brighten his life without knowing the lonely sun could transmit its rays of loneliness onto him.

Happily looking at the lonely sun which was pretending to give comfort to the living creatures who had been surffering from the cold winter, he heard a voice, "Son, time to go now!" Not only didn't he realize the curel sun which would heaten his life, but he was too excited to see the sadness behind the voice. Now, he and his family were in the car running through the fog like others who were rushing for work. "Wear your jacket on the plane. It's still cold. Don't forget to call us once you arrived. Study hard and make us proud!" said a woman whose voice was half filled with hopes and half with worries. And, there he was on the plane.

Day dreaming on the plane for more than 2 hours, he was awoken by a sweet voice from the plane, "Our plane was landed safely to the Lion City." With excitement, he stepped on the Lion City which welcomed him warmly. It was so warm that he felt as if he was swimming in the hot sea full of thick & humid air waves. He was telling himself that he would enjoy surfing in that hot sea and would forget his days driving his car on windy winter night.

Exactly 3 years after that day......

He was typing this on his blog which was his one and only best friend that had been always been with him to share his loneliness, tiredness and boredom. Such a best friend is the blog that he talked to her everyday. She said to him, "It's life. You'll get used to it! One day you will get your own car back and live in a cool place where the lonely sun cannot make you withered and exhausted. But, don't forget a Burmese saying which goes, 'Human beings shouldn't stay anywhere as he wants but as he should'." He told himself that he would endure staying where he should so that he could spend his life in future where he wanted. If tired, he should go for holidays and ski in Sapporo, eat Hokkaido seafood, pray at Golden Temple @ Kinkakuji, climb Mt. Fuji to see how beautiful the cheery blossoms and bathe at hotspring, not forgetting visiting monkeys at Nikko and watching Hard Gay. So, everyday he was dreaming and dreaming and dreaming about his holidays coming in 6 weeks times.

hehe... anyway, happy 3rd anniversary of me staying in Singapore!
