life back to normal

dear all,

now that i ve got used to tokyo & her surrounding, normal life has returned somewhat. yesterday i went to play ball, explored the neighbourhood around skool, met a bunch of new friends. ahh... the goodness of such a feeling. i m beggining to get the flow of things around me, blending into the fabric of society so to say. i actually quite welcome this change... the environment, the people, a new start.

now i m really excited and looking forward to living here in tokyo.

cheers,

new life at waseda

dear all,

ok. skool just started.
i m now living in tokyo... metropolitan life. not really.
but luv it here cos the skool is good, library is a gem... just hope i hav enough time to go tru wut i hav. lots of really interesting ppl here.

havnt got time to really get to know the city yet. mainly cos i m busy & a little broke.... havnt got any income now that i dont hav a scholarship anymore. but i m working on it, dont suppose i ll survive for long without a scholarship here.

yet its not as gloomy as it seems, i m learning lots everyday. & i know that i ll hav much to improve fr now on. :] havent felt like this for a long time...
like a yatch on full sail...

just had a long chat wif me oldman... think it was my 1st. not that we re not on good terms, just that i ve never disclose this much bout me to him ever. & i think he sees me as a man now... quite the change of wind, think i m heading downwind for an easy sail... just hope he can last till i sail home in a few more years. reminds me of an chinese idiom by OuYang Siu "树欲静而风不止,子欲养而亲不在". worst thing that could happen to a son. may i not see this day...not anytime soon.

my study, contrary to every other thing else, does not seem to be sailing on a smooth course. now that i m here in waseda, i shall hav to change the course of my ship just a few degrees to the East. fr now on, i shall pay more attention to the chinese in Japan. i think this is still a relatively new land, unlike the much exploited study of Chinese in SEA...although i still think there is much to be done on them. tentatively i ve set my eyes on the chinese voluntary associations in Japan and their role to a chinese living in japan.

oh so much to ponder about, worry about. how much time hav i got left? not much for sure. will need to speed things up a bit.

how r u folks doing out there? miss my old pals now that i m really all alone. asaka, hows it going there back home? fei chai, how r u getting along wif weiling? gugu, u need a break fr work. ohh... and the lot of u guys fr APU. dav, co, kunlung... hows skool in london?? finally, my sis MQ when do i get to see his pic?? send it to me quickly larrrr!!!!

take care all.

cheers,
