My 7 weeks break has just started.

Here’s what has been planned:

10th - 16th September                                : Trip to China

17th September                                          : Japanese Festival at Waseda-Shibuya Senior High

20th (Afternoon) September                        : Grade 8 Piano Exam

20th (Night) - 30th September/1st October* : Trip to Melbourne(Manifest)

September would be a rather packed month, with so much activities.

* The date of return from Melbourne is tentatively unknown, due to the fact that the itinerary has yet to be planned.

It seems like YUI’s I Remember You release is also due on 20th September!

I vaguely remember being hit by the phase of adolescence during the age of 15-16.

It was terrible. I was in the ‘The-whole-world-is-against-me’ shit and being an idiot thinking I was l33t.

Anyway, I found the first sketchbook/notebook that I used back in secondary school.

I used to write down the words that described my thinking everyday, starting with Act 1, so on and so forth.
I would then display them on my MSN display name “Act.1: Isolation”

I wrote up to Act 37. But it actually goes on all the way till act 99 or even way pass 130.

Ah. The period of adolescent, nostalgic yet a difficult phase to go through.

Note: This is probably one of the more embarassing post I have written :)
