I have only been updating like once a week for the past month or so but hopefully it should change soon since I should have a lot to post about in the coming few weeks.

So, remember I said that I am going to Thailand? Well I am not going anymore. It kinda fell through. But it is all good. Kind of like a timely reminder to follow my cardinal rool of not relying on other people to do stuff.

But have no fear, while I am no longer bound for Thailand, a new adventure awaits our hero. I am going to Hong Kong on Thrusday

I am looking forward to it. To tell the truth I don’t know anything about Hong Kong and have no idea what to expect. It was between that and Singapore but I decided to save Singapore for next year.

I will be gone from the 16th-21st arriving late night on the 16th and leave early morning on the 21st. This leaves me with 4 full days to run wild and tear up the city. It should be epic

The only plans I have thus far is to go to Macau hit the MGM casino and gamboool it up a bit.

Anybody been to HK before? Any tips or cool spots you want to share?

So yeah thats about it. Oh yeah, was going to get some Vietnam with me chick on sunday when we found ourself walking through Uniqlo. Uniqlo being one of the few shops that actually have clothes that fit me I decided to check if they had any cheap decent T-shirts. Ended up buying like 4 or so.  They had a theme called Japan Games which had old school video game prints. I decided to be geeky and get a few

If you are a gamer or internet geek you might be aware of the phrase “The Cake is a Lie”. If not, then never mind. Today I bring to you a new truth, “The reflection is a lie!”

I would like to quickly share a weird/dumb thing that I think about sometimes. I remembered it after I got home from the gym yesterday.

So I was at the gym, and if you have spent any time in a gym you know that there are big mirrors everywhere. I walked up to the mirror and started doing some muscle man poses. It felt pretty good. I looked at my reflection and thought to myself, “Yup, I am a few steps away from reaching incredible hulk status”.

I went home later that day and did the same pose in front of the mirror in my house.

Hmm, not quite the same effect. I looked skinnier than a 9 year old school girl…

I bought a few pair of jeans last week. If you are in Japan then no doubt you would have heard of a 24 hour shop called JeansMate. I am pretty sure the mirrors there made me look a bit slimmer and taller. But that’s what clothes shops do right? They have those mirrors to try to make you look better in the clothes and trick you into buying them.

I then went to a bathroom, looked at the mirror and felt sad because my eyes were not parallel. It looked like the left one was 2 or 3cm below the right @_@

It kinda makes me wonder what % of mirrors in the world can actually give you a 100% true representation of what you look like. Or are all the mirrors the same and it’s just the angles and lights? Any mirror experts in the house?

Anyway moving on swiftly!!

So over the next few months I might be doing a bit of travelling. I am planning a super last minute trip to Thailand for a few days around the 18^th of next month. I probably will end up going. But it won’t be decided till literally the last minute. I am also planning a trip to Okinawa to a friend’s wedding in September and a trip back home in December.

I have never actually been to a wedding before. Apparently in Japan you have to pay about 30,000 yen (300usd) as a wedding gift if you attend.

At first I was pretty excited about going. People always say that Okinawa is like Hawaii. But after doing some math and adding up money for the plane ticket, wedding money, hotel money, food money, spending money and money for a pimp suit and pimp hat for the ceremony I am starting to worry about how much of a dent this 4-5 day trip is going put on my wallet. The dude is a cool guy and everything, but I might I just have to plead ignorance and not pay any wedding money LOL.

Or I can just be responsible, not go and save myself a ton of money…. But I really wanna go …:(

Sigh, decisions, decisions @_@

Anybody been to Thailand or Okinawa before? Summer is coming yo. Where is everybody going? Or are people calling off their holidays because of the credit crunchers?
