WATCH ME WORK THAT POLE

shin pulled some strings of his own and surprised us with real good treat at a shibuya club. i've been away from the clubbing scene for quite some time and club pure surprised me. heaps of expats swamped that place at the main arena. it's a massive fresh and young japanese meat market out there for fellow gaijins to enjoy. it was almost funny and i felt almost bad for both sides but it's all fun.
good times sure pass fast, don't they? sept 10th is the day i send myself all the way to nyc for a week before UN packs and sends me to sudan. at the same time, i can't wait for it. i can't wait to see doug again. men in fatigues are irresistable, aren't they? LOL
til then i'll be spending quality time with the family. it's gonna another 7-8 months before seeing them again.

WHEN ALMA MATER MATES MEET

it was nostalgic to have met my old uni mates again. a dinner reunion that was hastily organised by shin in two days got twenty of us gathered at the restaurant. he's born to pull such magic that we always felt that it was a shame that he didn't go for pr or media or alike. he'd be a god or something. it was interesting to meet them again after 2 years. some of us remained the same and a few changed noticeably. particularly kondoh. it was a 180 deg of change and all. his look, his fashion sense, his behaviour, as a matter of fact! of course, i meant it in a very good way! as for me, a change was there but just subtle, as Ryusei put it. a keio school of med 04's night out in shibuya is gonna happen in a couple of days. of course, our good ol' shin's gonna do it so i'm not worried at all. just tell him what you want and he'll get it for you. i itched for a good clubbing scene.
it was his birthday few days ago. it quite disheartening for not being able to celebrate with him. it was session via skype instead but i was glad that his platoon celebrated with him after that. i wouldn't want him to celebrate it alone.
happy belated birthday baby. wished i was there.
