Uwaah!

Was it Thursday when I last posted on this blog? Nyah haha~ I'm so blurr right now- the week has sped by so fast and I'm now in my 2nd week in Japan! Woot! Everything has been uphill (literally) so far and it's pretty much been fun fun fun XD

Hum... well, 21st was Aira's (my sister's) birthday... unluckily it was on the fullest day of my week. I had SP lessons as per usual in the morning and then at 1.10 I had to go meet my Japanese student-tutor - they provide one per each person except for those in the Advanced class and the ones in the upper Elementary classes can choose to or not to have it ^_^ My tutor is Asada Youko - I think I heard from snippets of her conversation with my class advisor - Yamakawa-sensei, that it might be her first time tutoring... but it's cool! She's nice. Japanese people are very nice LoL. She'll be tutoring me once a week for 2 hours each session. I believe this is good conversation and listening practise for me XD

Anyway, after that was another MATH TEST! Uwaaaah! It's my last test though, so it was all okay *hee* LoL. I think I called home after that... yeah, I think I did. After I made my dinner ^_^

Friday I had my first every history lesson in 4 years! Can you believe it- I did not even once think of sleeping! LoL hahah~ Amazing for me really, 'cos I think I'm always sleepy in classes, and it used to be especially in History classes.... I got Shimamoto-sensei, and he is actually pretty cool. Japanese teachers are all so cool. Or maybe I just think that I got the coolest teachers around *hee* Well... they really are cool.

After classes I went shopping with Hee Jeong, Lyda and Elien. XD I guess grocery-shopping is actually pretty fun ^_^; ... but carrying all the things back up to the Dorm is killing me! But I suppose I am sort of getting used to all the slopes. Actually I'm thinking of getting a bike, but I'll let that thought simmer a little while longer before I actually decide.

On Saturday I went to the Osaka Castle! And it was SO pretty! Pretty pretty pretty XD XD XD Though... there were some things that I thought were pretty quirky about it all~ for one, the Castle has an elevator... They say that it's a relatively new castle and it burnt down recently... because of a malfunction with the elevators. Hmm... Well, anyway, there were 8 floors (7 flrs for Brunei) and my friends (Anni, Aurelie, Lyda, Elien & 2 of Lyda's friends from Cambodia) and I had to climb all the way up to the 8th floor by the stairs. Very tiring... but the view was fantastic!
Well... Sunday I went to Carrefour with Anni and Aurelie. LoL I guess it seems I'm hanging out so much with these guys... but I think that it's pretty cool ^_^ We are, after all going to be each other's companions for a whole year. I feel grateful that I have such friendly dorm mates. Very grateful ^_^ --Carrefour is French by the way - Aurelie was so happy to be shopping there *hee* It seems that a lot of the items available (in the supermarket section, I think) were items she was familiar with when she was in France.

We didn't do so much grocery shopping - we mainly went there for electronics - Aurelie wanted a rice cooker (which she'll probably get next week), we all wanted hair dryers (only Anni found one that she liked) and irons LoL - I found the steam iron that I'd been looking for for so long- the one that doesn't need a board for it to iron with. Cool cool cool ^_^ I think either Anni or Aurelie pointed out this one cool fact about living 'by ourselves' in Japan - there exists a lot of items that's good for just one person. I mean, I found this teeny cooler/warmer. Really teeny y'know! I s'pose fit for just 4 small coke bottles. Cute... practical for a single person and I don't think it cost so much either. But I'm not going to jump into getting all those things. If I do I have to think about how much I'm going to have to move to the next University next year.

Nyah... I'm exhausted. I got a couple more things to do today... I really need to do today.... Cheers everyone! Next time I'll try to write more on 'Japan' instead of just how 'I' am doing... (LoL 'cos if I keep on doing that, I won't have anything to talk about by the end of the week *hee*)

*MwaH* Laterz~

PS. I haven't had the time yet to resize the pictures I took of the castle - so I'll try to remember to do that in the next post.

Hi Az!! XD ReyBunny- I think I've pretty much seen all of them haha... those trees are everywhere... all shapes and sizes... amazing really *hee* Haz- LoL ShamNe.O- HIIII~ yes, downtown is pretty warm... nice weather down there really, but I'm up on the slope of the mountain so the University is still pretty cold. It's getting much much warmer though... Probably if it doesn't rain tomorrow I won't have to wear so many layers of clothes ^_^ *hee* Fae- No changing shoes! LoL I like mine thanks *mwahaha* you'll have your turn soon enough XD MKS- it's alright Zan LoL I didn't expect you to read it anyway hahah
