My laptop!

It's done for... It's barely reached it's 4th year anniversary and the hard disk I think is now broke. The only thing I can do with it now is use MSWord... not even internet!! Why oh why did I know this was coming... (T=T) I need to save money for a new one... soon... oh nooooooooooo!! (To think since my exams are this week I wanted to use it to prepare for my presentations but no! It breaks down on me! errrrghhhh)

It can't be!

I finally have pictures over here! Hahahaha... it's been a pret-ty long while huh...

This was around December 9th when I went to Kyoto with an acquaintance of mine, Watanabe-san from Tokyo. (Actually it was very strange the way we met- I was in Kyoto with a friend of mine, Mihaela, to watch Daimonji and she just started up a conversation with us and then we were from then together for the rest of the night... very... energetic and open for a lady who is turning -60- this year)

Above is my partner-in-crime, Adeline, and Watanabe-san.

Me... this place is absolutely gorgeous... (and freezing cold).

Like I said, scenic, no? Definite wall-paper material

I love these pictures.

The colour is just not normal... I mean you don't see this in Brunei.

I took some leaves as souveniers... though I can't seem to find where I put them anymore (;_;)

Adeline

Just look at Nature's red carpet. (^_^)

This day we went for a very loooong walk in Kyoto. I don't remember the name. I only remember that at night we went to this special once-a-year exhibition involving smoky lights and bamboo trees. It really was pretty... but it was so dark so I couldn't see much. Anyway... this obasan tired us both out in the end... "expired us" as according to Adeline... but she was still so energetic. I swear, Japanese elderly are one of the most enduring ones of all. My whole respect.

Okay, so to be fair...

I haven't really updated much on what I really have been doing. It seems like a long while since I've talked about my escapades here (hahahahha). Lately, this past week, since I came back from the Philippines, I've just been staying at home (apartment). Aurelie's still out (till the 10th) in France.

The night of January 1st... was unexpectedly warm. When I arrived at the airport it was actually really... nice. It was cold, but it wasn't windy, and it felt really refreshing really (even though it was about 9-7degrees.... =_=). I went directly home... well, not exactly. I managed to stop my the convenience store too... Man I love the convenience stores. They're so... convenient! ^__^

The next day I was allll byyy myself just bumming out in my room, since I have the heaters blasting in it all day and I didn't want to go out since it got coooolder. I went to the grocery store too to buy some fresh veggies.... I hadn't realised... I think I've started to like the veggies here, they're so... fresh. And they have lovely salad dressings... ^_^ On the 3rd night Adeline came by to sleep over (in fact she's still here hahaha, we've been seriously bumming out here). It's nice to have someone with me here though... else it'd just be too quite I think (especially after my extremely lively holiday in the Philippines).

On the 4th we went heavy-duty grocery shopping (hahahaha... really heavy-duty, I was re-stocking). On the 5th we were just bumming out... 6th even more bumming out, today I went to buy some basil and coke...... Oh my goodness, I haven't done this whole hikikomori thing in so long hahaha. Hikikomori means to lock yourself up in your home and to only go out from groceries once in a while.

I know it looks/sounds bad... but I did get quite a lot of work done... which is why I think I'm going out to jog later... need to move this body... besides I feel this sugar rush from all that coke. Tomorrow's my last holiday! My last last last day without classes until exams... >.<; I'm heart-broken!
