真悠閒.
悠閒到什麼程度ㄋ?
每天都睡到中午. 下午就出去打球, 健身房, 游泳. 晚上就 WoW.
輕輕鬆鬆的悠哉日子.
...
這樣過一個月應該不會太享受吧? 有種過太爽會遭天譴的感覺...

Jump 大亂鬥
Jump 大亂鬥. 八月八號在 DS 上出.
雖然號稱裡面會出現總數 27 部漫畫中 150+ 位的漫畫腳色, 不過看起來大部分應該都只是像 Marvel VS Capcom 裡面補助攻擊腳色一樣的東西. 我猜... 能真正使用的腳色應該是不會超過 80 個 (多半還高估了).
本來還有點小小期待英文版的出現, 不過現在看起來是希望渺茫, 大概... 要想辦法從台灣日本騙過來ㄌ.
仔 細看看上面那張圖, 發現七龍珠結束這麼久ㄌ, Jump 還是必須要把悟空放在最明顯的地方. 日本人對尊卑這種東西一向都分的很清楚. 如果悟空站後面一點, 大概也沒有其他腳色敢站到前面來. 如果要讓七龍珠退讓一點的話, 大概非出動手塚先生的腳色或者多拉A夢了.
除了七龍珠已外, 最顯眼的應該是火影和 One Piece...
個人對火影的意見還蠻多的, 尤其是到第一部後期和現在第二部. 不過火影畢竟佔了主題優勢, 所以在日本還是紅到翻過去.
然後.. 雖然大部分漫畫家都沒辦法紅超過兩次, 還是有幾各例外的. 富間, 小細, 跟和月.. 是說和月的核鐵漫畫也應該算是爛掉了...
---------
扯這麼多, 重點是我很想玩這各.
有誰父親節以後要回來的..?

For most people, unbelief in one thing springs from blind belief in another.
Went to Wreck Beach with turtle yesterday and it was an entirely different experience.
I "was" going to write something about it. But I find it horribly convenient to just link other's paragraph up here.
Don't have to read if u're not interested in WB.
Wreck Beach

What time is it now already?

God knows how much I miss blogging on my own computer.
For the first time in 12 hours after I've arrived Vancouver, this feels like coming back home.
I do have a weird way of feeling home-safe.
---
July 21st eh?
That would have been the 86th... and I know it's too much to ask her to remember this day as well.
Hmm...... the most bothersome thing at this point is that I'm still having no idea if I'm going to Waterloo or not.
And if not, am I going to SFU or not?
UBC is somewhat my last choice because of some inexplicit feelings. And because of how much I wish myself not going back there - not because it's not a good school, just because i'm too familar with it.
Think it's time for a change. And change is ... usually good.
Kinda tired now, will try to sleep early today. And hopefully the jet-lag won't haunt me like it does to turtle.

Trip of Hida
The best thing about this trip is that, we've had no plan at all.
This is a lucky trip.
-------
Saturday I WoWed till 5 in morning.
Woke up by 8. Exhausted.
And I'm suppose to meet up with Yuki by the Clock Tower at 12:30.
I know if I go back to sleep again, there'll be no way I can make it to Nagoya on time, so I had to play WoW to keep me awake. A grusome way to start a weekend morning.
Saturday we didn't do much. Ate a "famous" katsu-don at top of Nagoya Station (13F), hanged around in Sakai, drinking with James and Yuki at night.
There's this eatable raw-shrimp, which, according to James, can't be find anywhere else but in Japan ONLY. And it goes perfect with beer.
I'm totally in love with that and I've had like 4 or 5 packs already after this new discovery. I'll probably have another couple before I left.
For some unknown reason.. we drank a lot that night and couldn't stop till 4 in the morning. We were suppose to go sleep at 12 and leave the first thing in the morning around 6 or 7 because Hida is far far away from Tsushima.
......
Personally, I think it was close to a miracle that we can still leave by 10:00. Yuki was constantly complaining about his weird stomach and Daphne was sleeping all the time on the car. We were tired.
Nagoya has one of the world's most expansive Highway. 150km costed us 3500 Yen. People are willing to pay this much money to use the highway because highway is "suppose to be" very fast. However, due to the long weekend, there was still traffic jam... Useless highway, it was.
We've arrived Hida around 1:30, was going to a ramen place yuki recommanded. But because it was too hot and the ramen place don't have parking place nearby, we decided to just go this random ramen place with a long line-up.
For some reason... this is the first time I've had ramen in japan ever since i came here. And it was... well, everything to me is good. According to Yuki, it was better than the one that he recommanded. Oh well, lucky~
Since it was a long weekend and we didn't make any reservation at all, we've expected to come back to Nagoya that night. But we got lucky again and found a hostel right away, in the center of Hida. Lucky 2.
After we parked the car and rested a bit, finally, at 3 in the afternoon, the trip of Hida has finally started.
Here's a bridge that's just around the corner of the hostel. The river down there was clean to the point that I actually felt ashamed about Shu-Lin's river which garbage has piled as tall as a full grown man... But of course, Shu-Lin was no vacation spot... I guess that explains part of it...
And we went to this city hall from the era of 幕府. Of course, the size can't compare with today's city hall, yet it still took us about 40 minutes to finish browsing it all.
Because there was no free English tour today and our only english tour guide is useless Yuki. So from time to time we have to secretly follow taiwan tour group and listen to their explanation.
That's a.. big wood. No idea what is it for, posted it coz I look okay good on this picture.
That's a corner of a japanese old room. The dead guy is Yuki, after driving for 3 hours and only had 5 hours sleep last night, he was walking like a zombie all day and whenever he had chance, he'll lay down just like that.
I was leaving a msg on guest book, not studying.
Daphne was.. I have no idea what the hell is she doing.
Really really want to try to eat hotpot with the thing in the middle... must be fun...
...
After the city hall, the temperature seems to dropped a little, so we started to explore the old street. Well... it was nothing but shops... but it's always fun to fool around...
That's a bad picture, but I really liked this cap.
6000 Yen...
Almost bought it...
I'm destroying national treasure.
That's the old street. Just like what it seems on TV.
That's the hostel we've stayed. I'm holding my shoes coz we were playing in the river, so I had to walk back to the hostel with bare feet. The room was big enough for 6 people, and the price was reasonable, the only problem with this hostel is that it closes at 10 and no shower after that. Way too early for kids like us, it's a very good hostel for old people.
After we all took shower and rested after old street, comes the highlight of this trip.
Beef of Hida.
Easily the best and most expansive beef I've ever had. It was super tender and juicy. All other cows ought to be ashamed to death once they've tasted beef like this.
The taste was unbelieveable... we were all speechless and carefully cooking each piece of these beef. It's really really really really really good.
Words are always short at times like this. One have to taste it in order to find out exactly how good it is. Totally worth the 3000 yen (200 g).
And note that it's still NOT the best beef in japan. Even not the best beef in hida... Man... gotta come back for the best beef later..
After the amazing beef, it was over 10 already and we were late for our hostel. If they lock us outside... it'll be funny.
We bought some beers and called it a day.
-----------------------
I woke up the earliest because I was the first one who fell asleep the night before.
8:30 in the morning, we still have no idea what are we going to do today.
Before we were kicked out of the hostel, we decided to spend some time at old Hida Village in the morning while it's still not too hot.
And here we are. It was pretty and sorta educational.
I wasn't amazed by the old village, but I can't stop find it astonishing that how well Japanese has preserved and protect these places so that everyone who appreciates these ancient stuffs can easily come and have a wonderful time.
Again, I'm ruining national treasure. Tourist that day must have found it annoying since I was kept hitting it as loud as possible and trying to make a song out of it (but failed).
...
Daphne's camera was outta of battery at this point, so no more picture afterwards.
...
Daphne wasn't so interested before she came because she can't appreciate these stuffs and she've been to Gero's old village before.
But it turns out that this one is much better than Gero's (according to her) and I guess she sorta enjoyed it a little.
It was fun. Especially while I was hitting the big bell.
...
Next stop is onsen.
Because we have decided to go all the way to gifu on the way back and eat the super delicious katsu-don, we only grabbed some snacks from convenient store on the way to onsen and ate in Yuki's car.
To be honest, it was too hot to have onsen in the middle of a day. But for its price, it was totally worth going. If we are to enjoy the same quality onsen in taiwan, it'll cost at least 6 folds more.
Japan people loves onsen way too much... for some weird reason... :P
.....
Gifu, Yuki's home town, was our next stop.
I haven't been to his house for... almost 3 years already. Everything looks the same, his parents, his grandma, grandma's grocery, the super delicious katsudon...... and as it gets closer to Yuki's town, I felt downer and downer.
It's hard to explain my mood at that time. On one hand, I'm glad to see everything still the same - I can still remember lots of things we did together with akio, ken and kuni 3 years ago at this place. On the other hand, it makes me felt like I'm the only one who still circling around at the same state as 3 years ago... while everyone else has already moved on...
Seems like I'm the only one who's.. still not working and still wasting my time... :p
Maybe it's not entirely true, but at least that's what it seems like..
Nice.
-----
Katsudon was still amazing. I was glad and felt much better after that.
Much much better.
-----
After that we drove straight back to Tsushima. We chatted till 12 and then Yuki left.
I was trying to WoW and clear some exp bonus bubbles. But I was too drowsy and kept felling asleep and died so many times.
Went sleep at 4.
The End.
---------
It was the best trip ever since Kenting, I have to say.
And the best part about it is that we had no plans at all. ^_^
A lucky trip.

Defeated
有種被自己打敗的感覺, 還蠻糟的.
---
的確是順利的去了 Expo, 雖然前一天整晚興奮的睡不著 (我到底是幾歲?), 一整天都昏昏沉沉的.
Expo 的事情就不多提了, 總之非常棒. 要是不好玩, 也不會開幕到現在每天都還能吸引幾萬人去參觀. 總之, 雖然也有一些不知所謂的展覽館, 不過大部分的都很有意義, 比我預期中還好很多很多.
而問題就出在這裡.
孤單的走在世博會時, 真的很希望有個人陪. 路上每個人都是雙雙對對 (不然就是全家出動), 看的真是有點難過.
前一陣子.. 大概是從溫哥華回台灣之前吧. 還覺得其實自己一個人也沒什麼不好的. 想幹麻就幹麻. 多個女朋友還要照顧, 多麻煩...
但大概是宜蘭那次就有點被刺激到. 然後是昨天的展覽..
基本上所有除了純參觀的 Pavilions 之外, 所有設計都是給兩人一組的. 尤其每次排隊的時候, 看著旁邊每對小倆口都卿卿我我的, 真的覺得好孤單.
我不是已經很習慣一個人旅行了嗎?
自己看展覽雖然也不是沒有好處, 至少想幹麻就幹麻.
但是我一整天邊看展覽都還邊在想, 如果她在的話我現在會說什麼, 我們會走到哪裡, 她是不是應該走累了.........
可以再可憐一點...
當時實在強烈的覺得, 只要有個人陪就好ㄌ. 誰都好...
雖然不敢講說 "再也不要一個人旅行了". 但下次至少試著找人陪我旅行吧..
---
最後再提一下博覽會的事情.
這次展覽的主題很有意義, 會場也處處可以看出主辦單位的用心. 還有兩個多月, 強力推薦還沒看過的人快來看看~
我的結論是, 有兩種人一定要來參觀: 喜歡排隊的人, 和覺得人類已經沒救的人.
附帶一提, 會場超大, 我走了一整天還逛不到 20% (雖然很多時間用在排隊上).
很想再去一次.
不知道還有沒有勇氣再自己去一次.

Interpersonall Relationship
Patch 1.6, Server Down for 8 hours!!!
晚上突然不知道要幹麻ㄌ............
也好, 明天剛好可以去看 Expo.
因為要早起, 每天 WoW 到早上五點當然就沒辦法早起了.
剛好 Server Down, 今天就早點睡吧. 現在只希望睡的著ㄌ.
---
老實說, 大老遠跑到日本, 然後整天打電動好像有點怪怪的.
可是怪在哪裡...
又說不太上來.......
....... 實在想不出來 ...
---
連續玩ㄌ幾天幾夜的 WoW, 發現自己好久沒有回到這種人際關係複雜的世界, 感觸還蠻多的.
果然最難的還是 Interpersonal Relationship... As a leader of a problematic group, it's so hard to make all the members all happy about each other and still following your direction. The biggest problem is... how to understand the read ability of each member and what's on their mind? What are they really seeking for? What are their own personal goals?
I mean, one or two is fine, but once there are so many of them to take care of... things just getting harder and harder... People management is hardest and the most important thing to learn in WoW if one wants to be successful leader.
Sigh.. if everyone can just honestly tell their thoughts and willingfully accept each other and work as a team. Teamwork man, easiest thing to say yet one of the hardest thing to do. What kinda distance should a leader keep? Soooooooooo hard...
That's why MMORPG are such a complicated monster comparing to single-player games. Relationship is... very hard to deal with.
明天可以順利去到 Expo 吧?
Pokemon Park was great. Hopefully Expo won't let me down.

Mr. Sleep-Over
What's up with me and sleep-over-on-a-train?
...
8 in the morning, and it's her birthday.
Happy B-Day~
...
Yesterday I've WoW-ed till 5 in the morning. Woke up by 12 and called Yuki. He was somewhat pissed because I woke up too late.
He has a Ritz reunion at 6:30 so we didn't have lots time to meet. I guess that's why.
We decided to meet at Nagoya station's famous clock tower by 1:30, and I left with Daphne by 1:00.
She had a little fight with James coz she mysteriously lost her quest item the 2nd time. Never reading the quest is her biggest problem.
...
It only takes 30 min. with the slowest train from Tsushima (where Daphne lives) to Nagoya. And I've arrived the Clock tower by 1:35.
This golden clock tower somewhat reminded me of Taiwan Sogo main entrance's muscial clock. They have one thing in common - everyone waits around these clocks.
I was doing absolutely nothing but waiting from 1:35 to 2:30. Yuki was waiting for my call at the other end of the station and was too lazy to come up and check. I have no clue why is he so lazy.
It was raining like hell, so we have to cancel our plan to Nagoya Castle and decided to eat some omelette first.
Omelette...? I thought he meant the crumbling egg thing. But it turns out to be curry egg with rice. It was delicious. I should have ordered the L size. Changed to M coz the sweet mistress warned me about how big the L is.
But I should have ordered the L size.
The omelette place is right beside my dreamland - pokemon park. Too bad it was raining like hell, otherwise I would have enjoyed that magical place more than I should have.
Well, I was still very delighted to see all the rides and stuff, but we just can't go any closer than that because I don't want to stay in the rain for too long. My shoes was all wet and it was disgusting.
After the lunch, we stayed in arcade all afternoon.
Arcades in Japan is very very different than arcades elsewhere.
Or at the very least, very different than arcades back in Taipei or Vancouver.
It felt like home... (?)
Well, there are two things I liked the most about arcades in Japan. First of all, there are gosu everywhere. And it's already an wonderful experience to see them playing. It's like watching a stun or something.
Take Ghost Recon for example, it's a new shooting game just came out like 3 month ago (I guess). And there was this guy head-shot every enemy pops out from the screen. I've watched and awed for 30 min...
The 2nd thing I like about Jap Arcade is that no matter how old you are, you won't feel awkward spending your time in there. People dressed in suits are playing, people dressed like a worker are playing (the ghost recon guy) and lots of cute girls are in there too.
Back in taipei or vancouver's arcade, one can only find teenage guys and guys only. That's sad.
2 arcades but no 3s.
Doesn't really matter since i'm still suck at 3s.
The highlight of that day was when I won the Grand Prize while playing Evangelion Pachingo machine. The rewarding session kept running for like an hour. So I just sit there and kept shooting and shooting and shooting. Atsushi came and left with Yuki coz it was 6:20 already but I had to stay since the rewarding session was still running.
Grand prize rocks...
My feet was still all wet while I left the arcade at 7.
I was super tired and just want to get home and take a nice shower.
...
Was proud of myself that I've spend the past 5 weeks in Taiwan and never once slept over on the train. Well, I guess it's because I get to stay at trutle's all the time so I don't have to go back to Shu-Lin at all the wierd times.
But it doesn't matter, I've never slept over and I thought I was cured from the sleeping over disease. I was wrong.
First time I took train from Nagoya to Tsushima, I slept over.
It was suppose to be a 30 min. ride but took me 150 min. coz I rode the train all the way to Gifu...
Gifu is Yuki's Hometown, a very remoted city full of monkeys and trees.
When I finally get home, it was almost 10.
I'm just that good at sleeping on a train, I have to admit.

Weather forecast says it's gonna rain all day today as well.
And the rain ruined most of my plans.
It's Yuki's last holiday, what are we going to do today?
...
8 in the morning, and it's her birthday.
Happy B-Day~
...
Yesterday I've WoW-ed till 5 in the morning. Woke up by 12 and called Yuki. He was somewhat pissed because I woke up too late.
He has a Ritz reunion at 6:30 so we didn't have lots time to meet. I guess that's why.
We decided to meet at Nagoya station's famous clock tower by 1:30, and I left with Daphne by 1:00.
She had a little fight with James coz she mysteriously lost her quest item the 2nd time. Never reading the quest is her biggest problem.
...
It only takes 30 min. with the slowest train from Tsushima (where Daphne lives) to Nagoya. And I've arrived the Clock tower by 1:35.
This golden clock tower somewhat reminded me of Taiwan Sogo main entrance's muscial clock. They have one thing in common - everyone waits around these clocks.
I was doing absolutely nothing but waiting from 1:35 to 2:30. Yuki was waiting for my call at the other end of the station and was too lazy to come up and check. I have no clue why is he so lazy.
It was raining like hell, so we have to cancel our plan to Nagoya Castle and decided to eat some omelette first.
Omelette...? I thought he meant the crumbling egg thing. But it turns out to be curry egg with rice. It was delicious. I should have ordered the L size. Changed to M coz the sweet mistress warned me about how big the L is.
But I should have ordered the L size.
The omelette place is right beside my dreamland - pokemon park. Too bad it was raining like hell, otherwise I would have enjoyed that magical place more than I should have.
Well, I was still very delighted to see all the rides and stuff, but we just can't go any closer than that because I don't want to stay in the rain for too long. My shoes was all wet and it was disgusting.
After the lunch, we stayed in arcade all afternoon.
Arcades in Japan is very very different than arcades elsewhere.
Or at the very least, very different than arcades back in Taipei or Vancouver.
It felt like home... (?)
