1. On Wednesday of last week, my childhood dream of seeing Queen in concert came true. Of course, Freddie Mercury could not be there to sing (sadly), but Paul Rogers did a pretty good job. Also, the other members of Queen did a great job playing beautiful music; a celebration of a wonderful band. I […]

It all started when the USUAL gang of Chinese living in my dorm came down into the common lounge and started their USUAL Ping-Pong Tournament. They play it as if it were a matter of life or death. I did not want to find myself caught in the crossfire of these “Ping-Pong Soldiers at War”. This […]

I’ve been away from my blog for a relatively “long” time. Nothing special has been going on lately, but I have had the chance to meet a lot of good friends lately. A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to meet three friends from Bahrain from the Ship for World Youth Association in […]

Prologue: As today was not a particularly eventful Saturday, I decided to write this blog entry from the point of view of someone else observing my actions and appearance. Just stretching my “writing muscles”. Also, I am writing this as it comes to my head.  I do not read it over, I don’t correct any […]

Phew! Just ran into the dorm, from Kunitachi station, a little past midnight - in the rain. I had just come from Shinjuku Station, after transferring at the Odakyu Line. Last train at Shinjuku on weekends is a NIGHTMARE, for those who don’t know. People literally get pushed onto the train, squeezed in there like […]

Okay, here I am in an internet cafe in Kunitachi, the same internet cafe I came to when I FIRST arrived in Japan. I haven’t been here for months, just because I bought a laptop of my own, but the internet in the dorm hasnt been working last night. I woke up at 3.50am this […]

Couldn’t sleep till 7am this morning, but I was awake by 10am. After that, I had to go do some paper chasing. Ah, the joys of filling out a thousand pointless application forms that could have been avoided if ONLY things here were more organized and connected.
For my iftar (breaking the fast) for the day, […]

Today after another Sword class, we sat down at a local branch of Jonathan’s for something to eat and drink. As soon as we got a chance to sit down, a wave of calm overcame everyone. It was another session of another interesting conversations. Our sensei is a very interesting man; very serious about practice, […]

You know, just as I was about to go about writing my usual blog on how I spent 12 hours today with people from my sword club, and how there were a few things that blew my mind away, something LITERALLY just “blew up”; another bombing in one of the last beautiful places in the […]

My life for the past few days: Stay up till 2.00am, watching a DVD with some friends down in the CC Hall (the common lounge in my dormitory), wake up numerous times during the morning just because the Primary School’s kids are SO loud when they arrive at school at 7.30am, and remain loud till […]
