Blogging

I never realised how addicting blogging really is. Once I'm at the computer typing away or reading someone's blog, time does not exist anymore. Now I know how Repin feels when he is staring at his palm top or whatever. I get mad when he does it but now I have the computer all to myself - since Sara is busy watching tv and Shasha is in KL I can't seem to stop. It's kind of like having a journal, only its online. And if you're clever you can add all kinds of stuff to your jottings. I call mine jottings because that's what they are really - nothing organised. Just a mish mash of thoughts...
And to think when Sara first proposed I get my own blog I was so hesitant. Now I feel great.. putting in writing my thoughts, my opinions and ideas. Maybe its not as great as some of the other blogs I've seen and I don't always have time to sit and type away but its a marvellous way to pass some time, instead of reading a book or watch television.
I always loved to write and blogging gives me the outlet. How I wish we have internet in Melati though.

On 5th January 2005, we went to Tokyo - my two girls and I. Repin was already there attending a meeting so we took a flight - which had been all arranged by Dira -and flew to Japan. This is our first trip there, the overnight transit in Narita way back in 1984 not counted. Anyway we arrived late in the evening - around 6pm. After buying tickets for Sunshine City we waited for the bus outside the airport and it came about half an hour later. Our hotel is in Sunshine City. Repin would be waiting for us there. It was a fairly long journey - almost an hour I think, to reach the place. The bus stopped directly in front of the hotel which is good because our bags were quite heavy and we were all tired. It was almost eight now and after checking in we went out for a small meal.
Plenty of time tomorrow for checking out the place. Sarah and Sasha are sharing a room which is next to ours.
