Japan Holiday Photos!

Yo minna san!

I just got back from my Japan holiday, hence the short hiatus and lack of updates. I was away for 1 week, then spent the next whole week sorting through the photos taken. I think the raw quantity was like 2000+ shots taken. After looking through and discarding some of them, I think the final usable shots is something like two-thirds of the original number. Quite wasted lah, some shots I didn't double check. But I think I've managed to capture a decent number.

I shall keep today's blog post simple, as I have more in-depth reflections coming up. The reason I have to post this first, is to get back on track to my Sunday evening blogging. I want to make it a habit to have this ritual. Reflections on the past week, before starting a new one. However with that being said, time does not permit to go too in-depth in this post, because I really want to spend a lot of time thinking through my upcoming blog posts in order to do it justice.

I have 2 big posts planned and upcoming. First, is the reflections on the Japan trip. Everything I've seen, experienced, and felt. Lessons learnt, experience gained. I shall try to put all my feelings and thoughts into that blog post. That is more reflective of the past. The next blog post is more on planning for the future. I know I am late, but I still want to do a New Year's Resolution type of post. Except, this isn't exactly a one year thing. A sneak peek for you, the plan will be dubbed "Philson 2020" ala SG Gov style of naming. I would similarly like to set out the things I want to achieve in the next 5 years.

But enough of sneak peeks.... The goal of today's post is to share the pictures I took from the trip. So here you go!

That should do the trick. With these links, you should be able to view the photos even if you are not my friend on Facebook. A privacy breach perhaps? But it's ok, I want to share these photos with everyone who sees my blog. All these are important memories to me. And of course, by far this is my favorite photo:

And me with my awkward smile... :)

A nice photo with the locals from Kyoto. Well, that's all for today. Gotta go to work tomorrow. Bye and goodnight~
