3 weeks have passed

I've survived 3 weeks without proper internet! Borrowing my friend's internet to have this blogged.

Doing well now, but getting cold here and there. Got a flu this week since tuesday after i walked in the rain the night before. Freezing cold rain man... Spent around $2500 already in 20 plus days. Highest expenditure in my life. Next month onwards gonna cut down on expenditure. But still craving for another guitar and a dslr camera.

Went to Kamakura yesterday. It's a town outside tokyo that has history dated back to 1200s. So long ago. It's a nice place with a big buddha statue. Explored an area when tourists seldom go to.
Went for first jamming session today.

2 Weeks in Tokyo!!!

Two weeks have passed since i left singapore for tokyo. So fast man. And i was having complicated feelings for so long before coming here. Didn't have internet connection and iphone somehow just doesn't allow me to type in my blog. Finally able to update my life in tokyo.

Room after cleaning up. Will be leaving it soon for another place though

Had fun exploring tokyo for the past two weeks. Went to places like Shibuya, Shinjuku and Akihabara. I've been eating japanese food which seems healthier till yesterday when i finally had a full mac meal after 2 weeks. First Ootoro eaten at Shibuya. 3rd Nov. Will always remember the fatty creamy taste of ootoro. No wonder it's an expensive delicacy.


Ootoro at 525yen

Went Mt. Takao last saturday to look at red leaves, aka momiji, but it was a little too early so most of the trees hadn't turned red. But it was an experience nonetheless.

New guitar setup with Blackstar tube amp HT-1R

Bought a new amp yesterday after looking at it last weekend at Ochanomizu station. It's famous for its many guitar shops there, many more than that in singapore. Damage 27800yen. I'm broke.

Had lunch today at Kawasaki after mac breakfast. 950yen damage for it but it's delicious. From today till payday it's time to cut down on my expenditure. The amp was really damaging.


Lunch today
