Right now I feel like the subject of a novel that Sylvia Plath might write.

You know, contrary to popular belief, I do think that it would be nice to have (as our family puts it) morals sometimes. But I am not lying when I say that it is beyond my conscious control when I do certain things that might be deemed objectionable. It is like I am in a sort of a trance and I am not really aware of what I am doing until the light hits me one day and I snap out of it. Lucidity doesn’t come readily to me these days and to be honest many days I feel a very bizarre sense of detachment from the real world. Maybe I just need to, like, get a job or something.

My mother is lusting after a Japan Hour-esque holiday so I am doing her research for her. i.e. Yes, there is still a good chance that we are going to my favourite country in November. Failing which, we might settle for HK, which is still pretty damn decent by my books. I just wish that I were going with more palattable company. R (not the class one) is telling me to visit Tsurunoyu but it appears that it’s more than 3 hours away from Tokyo by Shinkansen, so it appears that J’s suggestion of Nikko might be the most realistic so far. I do want to have a proper ryokan experience, though it’d be best to go with someone you can be grossly lovey-dovey with, hor?

Speaking of holidays, this goes out to my lovely 13A family - I find it absolutely reprehensible that we have not gone on a vacation together. Please let’s try to make something happen before people start getting married and having kids! Khin, I also still remember our roadtrip promise, I hope you’ve been working on that driving licence!
