Mixed Feelings

It was definitely mixed feelings today!

In the morning, it was about moving. I finally managed to pack my entire apartment into 6 boxes and within the allocated limit. All in, I was happy with the outcome but sad that I am actually leaving Japan. The reality of it is just around the corner. It is sad to define my life around 6 boxes but they are just material stuff - I have learnt a lot over the last 12 months. Now talking about a good outcome, the mover was a cutie. He looks like Nakata - the Japanese celebrity footballer. I just could not stop stealing quick glances of him but because I am a good guy, I have to act professional around him :-)


I won't even comment about work but is just another day of crap. So will leave it as it is!

And to finish off tonight at dinner, a friend of mine came up to me and pulled me aside before we left the restaurant. She wanted to tell me something in personal!! and I could not believe what I heard. She told me that she really really likes me and ask if we can keep in touch when I leave Japan. Well - what do I say to this question which came out from the blue? Now I could not say no because I am a nice guy and had other friends who were around us. So I was shocked and totally speechless for a while. I told her I was taken back with her sincerity but honestly I don't really mind keeping in touch. When I said that, I wish I could tone that down! Trust me she was beaming when she heard that I was okay to keep in touch!

So what would you do? I just hope distance and time will make this a bit of a challenge!
