New Year; New Changes

I know it's late, but nevertheless HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everyone out there had a great one. For me, it was pretty decent. Christmas and New year was spent in Japan, seeing friends, going to karaoke and getting as much fresh sushi down my cakehole as possible :p To all the friends I met out there - thanks for taking the time to meet up. I wish that with many of you I could have spend more time with you than I did. I am thinking of coming back this year sometime so I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

Coming back to UK and having to work has been really tough - there's been a lot of new stuff to learn in a short amount of time. Although it's been tough, I have still been in enjoying it along the way.

As I say goodbye to a few good friends who went/are going back to Japan this month, I have also made a few new ones. On Friday I had a party at my house and I think I'm gonna be making a band with one of the guys I got to know. I'm excited at the opportunity of another band - it's something that I enjoyed doing in Japan and missed ever since. Coincidently, I have recently been trying to write more music. A few weeks ago I recorded an acoustic version of my first Japanese song. Also, this Thursday I'm gonna head to the local university to watch an acoustic performance night. I think it's also possible to perform there so I may also take part and show them how it's done ;-)

Bad news - I've somehow damaged my wrist so it's prevented me from my usual routine of gym and karate. It's been like this for weeks. Hoping I'll see signs of improvement soon.

Good news - I found out last week that my sister is pregnant again. The baby will be due around July. Naturally, I'm very happy. Will keep the updates coming.

For now, that's all my updates. You can see plenty of my photos on facebook (if you're not on there, please join).

Been listening to: Go!Go!7188 "Gyotaku", "Daisoku Hokou" and "Tategami"; Radiohead "In Rainbows"

I'm gonna leave this post with a Japanese song I recently came to know and like. It's "Hitori no yoru" by Porno Graffitti. Enjoy!
