Funny how Summer suddenly disappeared last week when the temperature started dropping to 20 degrees. Over the weekend on the streets, you always hear Samui (cold) and the word 'Autumn'. Autumn fashion was also on the street as girls started strolling in their boots. Last week in the office my male colleagues also dropped their summer polo T-shirt for long sleeve collared working shirts - looking much more formal now. Yet today, the temperature went up to summer 26 degrees again. Such unpredictability.

As I had four days of long weekend vacation, three days were spent monstrously socialising!
- Friday night dinner @ Shinjuku, followed by Izakaya (Japanese bar or resturant - popular for after-work drinking in Japan) with Singaporeans and Yumiko.
- Saturday - shopping & dinner @ Shibuya, followed by drinks @ Omotesando
-Sunday - Superman & dinner & ice-cream @ Roppongi Hills

Monday - I decided to spend time alone to myself, declining dinner invitation to Shibuya. Despite the busy days of socialising, cant help it, but when I am alone, I cannot stop reflecting on my journey. Guess thats what people do when they have isolated time - but at the same time it is so important - which I never had the opportunity to back in Singapore.

I began to reflect on what is truly of value in life, what gives meaning to our life, and how to set our priorities on the basis of that. Sounds easy? Try having a truely isolated day to yourself and figure it out. I'm still learning.
