Yokoso! Watashiwa Bryan des…
After a delightful stint in Kyoto and Okinawa, i have now arrived in Osaka ,putting up in the heart of the vibrant city in a delightfully gorgeous boutique hotel named ” Cross Hotel”. Contrary to the name of the hotel, i am not the slightest bit cross as this is a wonderful hotel, so much so that even the internet service comes with the room so all you need to do is plug in and surf!
interestingly, as some had queried wat has happened to me and why i am not on the tele, well, its because i am out there in some part of the world doing a travelogue ” Destination Most Wanted”. Guess its been a long time since you guys last seen me, except for re-runs on tv..so, just in case you don’t remember moi, here are some reminders which were taken just so recently…..
Taken In Kyoto
Nepal, Kathmandu
Turkey,Saffronbolu
Turkey, Cappedocia
Okinawa, Japan
well, hope that helps.. take care all….

Hi Bryan,
When are you coming back? Miss you. How I wished to see you in the charity show just now. Nowadays no screen shot of you, the program seems so boring.
Hope to see you soon. Take care.

禄江哥哥，真的好久都没来你这边了，好想这里。哥哥的更新很多，因为看英文很慢慢，所以，我只能慢慢看。。感觉象在考英语试一样。呵呵。。
你知道吗/》中国的四川的汶川地震了，是里氏8.0级的大地震，那边的人们真的好可怜，我在中国的南京上学，也捐款给了中国红十字会了。虽然不多，但代表了我自己的一点点微不足道的心意！！
哥哥，你最近过得很好，从你的文章里和图片里知道的。希望你幸福，常到中国大陆，好吗？

hello bryan,
I happened to read your blog this morning as I was wondering why I couldnt see you on TV nowadays.
I am singaporean residing in osaka.
Go to Arima onsen, one of the oldest spa in japan, drop me an email if you need advise for good food too. Have Fun !!
on May 26th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Really missed you a lot!! not only me, my mum and sis too. We all felt something missing when we see the charity show y’day.. We felt the charity show isn’t complete without you. Hope to see you soon on tv shows. Anyway have fun and enjoy yourself.

Hey Bryan, was that 1st pic taken in Hotel Villa Fontaine, Tokyo? I’m stayin in Tokyo for 1 mth of biz trip. Would really love to hear some ideas on where to eat, shop and relax! (Besides those touristy areas of cuz)
on May 26th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
dear fifi, guess i did loose some weight..probably because have been flyin quite a fair bit and food ain’t exactly the top of the priority list..
dear xinzizu and doreen, am thankful that you guys do miss me..in fact, i miss myself too! ….
Dear miyaki, eh…that would be in kyoto actually..sorry can’t be much of a help with tokyo as i did some touristy stuffs myself when i was there..then again, perhaps you might want to check out the “space” outlet near Mount Fuji, you could get some really good shopping there! rather good selection of brands there too!
dear peiyi, woe alas i am leaving osaka tomorrow morning.. but i will definitely try out the onsen on my next visit! that you lots…

You need to be on regular TV more often!
Seeing the same faces almost everyday, 不怎么好笑，没新鲜感
Take Care!

dear Ly,
thank you for that lovely comment!!!!!
Dear daniella,
I am presently using Cannon G9..it is really a fantabulous creation..seems to be able to capture wat i have wanted..
dear Pashmina,
thank you lots for missing moi and as for looking different, eh..could be the different style of hair cut, the sun, the mood and of course losing a couple of kgs makes a world of difference..
Dear atelierGal,
am going to appear on TV once again, haha..its the second season of the dude thingy and this time round, instead of princesses, we are featuring “Glamour Mums”..should be coming on somewhere in June…
on May 30th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
hey.. just saw some new comments.. u online? still on foreign land or back to our homeland already?
on May 31st, 2008 at 7:45 am
Hey Bryan:
Funny that mothers are ‘highlighted’ when father’s day is in June.
Hopefully can laugh along to your jokes again, haha.
My mother am also a fan of yours
BTW, the clarity of the photos are awesome!
I love the b/w pix especially, they look so timeless~

Bryan! I love your new hair cut! refreshing and makes u look younger! Say no to Kimura’s hair….ever!
Missed your laughter on tv
on May 31st, 2008 at 6:52 pm
YAY finally we are gonna “see you” from 13 june, the date which Glamour Mum and The Dude premieres!!
How long more are you gonna be flying all over the world?
on June 1st, 2008 at 1:10 am
Hi Bryan,
It has been a while we didn’t see you in our lovely island – SINGAPORE. Really hopes that everything goes well in your travelogue.
Recently I was quite busy with lots of things at the “almost” same time and nearly never got a chance to read much of your blog.
I got a friend getting married end of the year is busy looking for wedding gifts for guest for her wedding dinner. We happened to pass by one shop that is selling T-shirts and we’ve seen one T-shirt, the message on it is:
“Arms are for hugging”
I love this message very much – really love it.
The message delivers to me is:
Hug is full of warm
Hug is full of protection
Hug is full of love
Hug is full of comfort
Hug is full of remembrance
Once in awhile, give your friends a GOOD HUG.
A HUG for Bryan, a friend who I will remember and miss.
Cheers,
Gin

Hi Bryan,
原本还在纳闷为何许久没看见你出现在电视节目里，原来是出国度假了，你还好吗？应该不错吧？ 何时会再有新的节目出街啊？希望能尽快看见你的节目。。。。
敬请期待！！！
愿你事事顺心，快乐，安康。。。

on June 8th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Hi Bryan
I am happy for you as the next chapter of your life getting to travel and seeing the world. It is great to journey away from the normal lifestyle and aligning yourself for the second half of life.
As for me, I am struggling with my wife as she is back to hospital again after another incident that the doctor did not foresee. So, I pray for her recovery as she waits for an appointment to go for surgery that will be done in 2 – 3 weeks’ time.
Take care and hope you find what you are looking for in life.
on June 9th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Hi Bryan.
I was looking high and low for your artiste management agency, but can’t find it.
Is it mediacorp?
We are having the annual ndp carnival during National Day, and we would like to have you show up at our carnival.
Please let me know who I can contact to engage you for this occasion. Just a simple hi,
hello, for about 1 hour will do. Planning to get Gurmit Singh (trying, as the venue for the carnival is just 5 mins walk from the floating platform), Irene Ang and Hossan Leong. This star-struck combination!
Let me know. And enjoy your stay in Japan, des ne…

Email me or leave a reply here. Thanks!
