Weekly report...?

Wahoo my exams are over... one more report to finish and I'm home free~ haha.

I went to Gaidai on Friday last week (since I don't have any more classes) and went off searching for familiar teachers (and met them all really). I was looking for Shimamoto-sensei, my history teacher in Gaidai, but while searching for him I stumbled over Itou-sensei, my Friday-Japanese class teacher, who also teaches in Kobe U. but it was a while since I last said hello and he was surprised enough as it was apparently. It was a nice face to see around Gaidai again... his classes were the most interesting then, I think hahah.

Then I found Shimamoto-sensei, said my greetings and on my way down I saw Atsuta-sensei through the elevator doors and we had a nice, brief chat too hahaha... then after I put my stuff down in Adeline's room, I went back to CJLC to look for Yamakawa-sensei who was my homeroom teacher... and I met him just as he left the elevator I was going to take to go up to his office. And who just stumbles over us on her way off- Adeline (who also has him as her homeroom teacher) hahaha... Very... weird day it was.

I nearly forgot but part of the reason why I went to Gaidai was to have that dinner with Ruo Lin and other Malaysians... which started at almost 10pm I think.... So late.... But it was so fun anyway... we were all bullying Adeline too... hahahahaha poor girl.

The next day we went to Namba... met Daniel for lunch and walked around there Nipponbashi, Shinsaibashi for nearly 6 hours... I was dead tired at the end. We walked so much partially because... I was looking for an Evangelion robot model for my brother... which was amazingly hard to find.... =_= but then I finally found it! hahaha.... (T_T) I felt like an otaku boarding the train back with it but anyway. Gaijin will be Gaijin.

THEN! On the way back to the apartment with Adeline... this Jamaican guy just came up to us, introduced us to his 3 japanese (female) friends and called us off to a barbecue at his friend's house.... It was so weird to me... and I tried to say no... but I guess I was just too tired... so we ended up going... and it was actually nice. The Jamaican guy turned out to be a writer of sorts and the friend whose house we were at was an artist (nicknamed JD... J.D. ... hmmmmmmm) his art is exhibited in the Modern Arts Museum somewhere on the western side of Kobe. And he has a pet snake.

It was so weird... but we got to make good friends with these 3 Japanese ladies... they were so nice. But it's still.... the whole encounter was just weird... hahaha. Apparently this is normal behaviour in the west... but still... *sigh* anyway.

Sunday was Aurelie's birthday! We left for Shin-Osaka, the three of us, met up with Ruo Lin and then went to a Koto concert (japanese traditional instrument). But then me, Adeline and Ruo Lin left half-way... for Sannomiya... because... we wanted to go to Animate! Hahahah (fyi. Animate is a place filled with manga... anime figures and spin-off merchandise.) I got myself some more manga... I really have to stop buying books... my shelves are filled to the brim and there are books in my room I wasn't even sure were there! =_= For example when Ruo Lin came to stay over at the apartment with Adeline she just picked up a book from somewhere in my room and started reading it... I hadn't even noticed that I put it there!

Anyway, I jumped the story a little bit... that night we celebrated Aurelie's birthday at Liliana's dorm. Adeline and Ruo Lin helped me cook... omg I forgot the spelling??? KweTiaw? KueTiao? HAHHAHAHAH Anyway I cooked that as per Aurelie's request. Liliana cooked spaghetti, Mihaela cooked pancakes... and everybody we knew well were there... it was so nice ^__^We started cooking at 7pm (cooking while talking and playing around in the kitchen even.... we were so noisy) and then... We basically adjourned at 10pm after a round of singing in the kitchen... songs like.. "Unbreak my heart.... say you love me again" "I love you baby and if it's not okay I need you baby lalala lalala..." "All by myself.... don't wanna be all by myself..." "Take me home... country road... to the place... where I belong......" Okay we were crazy singing like mad in the kitchen until 11pm where after the big group we ended up being Aurelie, Adeline, Ruo Lin, Amin (Morocco), Liliana and just me... moving to the TV room to watch Ghost Hunt (anime) ahhaha... until exactly midnight... when me and the girls and Aurelie went back to Rokko by train (they stop running at 1am... Japan is amazing)... crawled back up to the apartment and finally KO'd there... this morning hahahah.

What a week.
