This post has been long overdue but since the As are almost almost over, thought i wrote about something interesting. Flipping back to past photos, gotta chanced upon the photos taken when i was in Japan. Thinking about this trip, i can remember how beautiful the sights were, but what was more lasting were what had happened – it wasn’t a very good trip, actually it was terrible, but now that i revisit those memories, i miss Japan all the more.
So take a journey with me. Down memory lane.
Being in Japan, was both rejuvenating, eye-opening and perhaps now that i think about it , a trip i really needed. The previous year, 2007 ( we went to Japan in late 2007) was really a rollercoaster. There were alot of things in my mind that i could not let go, things that i thought i could control and have and yet proven wrong ( my first declaration here).
I realised, from that trip, i cannot always control.
Part of the joy of the trip was meeting this boy ( above ). He was young but entirely sweet. When i went to Japan, we went with a tour group, and this young boy and his brother was sitting right at the back of the bus with his mother( we were one seat before the back). It was quite funny how we grew pretty close – It was through our cameras where at first i was just teasing him by taking shots of him ( i think ). But it ended with a camera war where he took his own camera out and started to snap me as well.
Thanks to this little boy, my japan trip became more joyous – He taught me how to ride Buzz Light year and this bumper thing which he could never get on because he was underage ( but with me along 
havoc) in DisneyLand, and his innocence overrided my fear of strangers which my mother instigated. Because of him as well, the trip became sour because my family felt i was spending too much time with the boy and his family ( which includes only his mother and brother). But it’s the sense of fun that i enjoy more than the sterness that held along with my parents. Keeping to themselves is a family tradition.
But i will always remember his sweetness, his open-mindness – That innocence, of which will remind me of the things i truly work for in life.
