[#31] The Pink Cow Party

First snow this year in Tokyo! Yeah! Tonight I went to a friend's birthday party at a bar in Shibuya called The Pink Cow (hope you check out the website coz the logo: a damn stupid looking cow, is very cute and funny. Put your mouse on the cow's head on the homepage and let it spin!) and met a lot of friends that I haven't seen for a while and also got to know a lot of interesting people coz that was a whole group of stand-up comedians! Had a great time! I got there a little late because I just came from my parents' who are leaving Japan for good on 1 Feb. My mom had a lot to 'instruct' tonight that's why I was late for the party...
Yes my parents are leaving. finally, after 7 years being in Tokyo, through lots and lots of hesitation. I've heard them talk about leaving sooooo many times since when I first got to Japan four years ago and even my friends know that. 'Are they leaving again?' is what's always asked by my friends. But this time, guess it's the ultimate decision they made. I'll miss them a lot just like they'll miss me a lot too. I had lived by myself (meaning, not even living in the same country with my parents) for two years before. That was in college in Shanghai when my parents were already here in Japan. But that was different coz that was in my hometown, our base was there then. But this time, I'm not at 'home' but a different country and gonna be totally independent and doing everything on my own. They sure are gonna worry but they said it's good to have stayed (almost) until my graduation.
I have soooo much to talk about my mom and I but dun think I'll write about it now. I promise it's gonna be on my Xanga someday. Anyway, it's pretty late now and I have to get some sleep. Updated two entries made me feel a little tired now.
G'nite you all! Hugs^^^

Ha! That sounds like so much fun!! How exciting!! See, I'm going to Tokyo now.. They don't have anything like that here!!
Hope you have a great MLK Day. Do they celebrate that in Japan?
It has been a bit of a drama hasn't it? I know that you want them to leave and I know it will give you a lot of space both physically and mentally. I hope everything works out for you, but seeing how you have taken care of yourself for the past 4 or so years I know everything will be fine. I really look forward to your future and sharing it with you.
Anyway, I wanna take you to Shanghai with Jona and me! Let's go chink it up in shangers!!!
