Long time no see, Osaka! (^^) I'm still not a big fan of the place because it's much more rowdier and dirtier than most of the other developed urban cities in Japan e.g. Tokyo. But it is definitely worth the trip to diversify one's perspective about Japan!

Good-looking guys, eh? =X

Tranquil, serene atmosphere to kick-start the day of sightseeing in Osaka!

Osaka Castle in sight!

Great shot! (^^)

A rare chance to experience a Japanese university school festival! Something that you can never do if you go as a mere tourist :)

Statue of Liberty? (lol)

We jokingly remarked that my Chinese friend looked like Aaron Kwok with this sunglasses on, so I tried to joke that I look like Andy Lau, and my friends were trying hard to suppress their laughter... :(

I hate blur photos!!! But anyway, this is Billiken, the resident deity of Osaka. Cute, eh? (rofl) :D

Tsutenkaku Tower... It's really pretty when it lights up at night
I don't know why, but there's a sudden urge to seize every moment, every opportunity, every single second when I'm here in Japan. The lazy bum I was in Singapore is nonexistent in Japan. :P
I wake up no later than 9 AM everyday. I go out of my way to meet friends to build relationships, until as late as midnight. I'm actually enthusiastic to study in the library nowadays (maybe because I befriended a very pretty Japanese girl who's always studying in the library :D).
And onto my main point... Finally after 23 long years of passivity, I actually confessed to a girl that I like her. Okay, not exactly, since I only met her recently. I'm not that shallow, okay. :P But I did tell her that I had the "fall head over heels" feeling when I first saw her, and she fits exactly according to my criteria for a girlfriend.
In just... 1-2 days of getting to know her (lol)! Maybe I'm just sick and tired of waiting for the "right one" who may never be a reality at all. Plus the fact that she's a fervent Christian herself, which is extremely rare in Japan.
For a Japanese girl, my actions would be shocking because Japanese guys are more reserved and seldom say such matters directly. In fact, it is shocking to myself as well, because I have never confessed about my feelings to a girl ever in my life.
Despite that, we're still emailing frequently and we're open to get to know each other better. I hope it leads to something. Because if this is not the chance which God has put in place for me, I might end up becoming a bachelor for life. (>.<)
I'll definitely keep you guys updated about my progress. :)
