DAY 28 : Bye bye money~~ and MUGYA!!! LIMITED EDITION NODAME CUP! AHAHAH!

Hello everyone~

Today after class Daniel was like "I wanna go back to Book Off!"

I laughed so hard XD
And he gave me the angry stare~
AHAHA~ XD

Today I wanted to try the Pepper Lunch in Japan.
So everyone agreed to follow.
The everyone is Natalie, Ivan and Daniel.
So well went to Pepper Lunch.
Man… everyone goes there to eat the Steak ~
I ate the Beef Rice thingy.
The menu apart from the steaks is TOTALLY different from the Menu in Malaysia.
They like ONLY had MEAT (Beef) dishes. @_@ *cries*
No Salmon.
No Salmon Carbonara Spaghetti *cries*
Anyways, the Beef rice was still AWESOME!
Just because it is eaten with everyone AND it is the PEPPER LUNCH IN JAPAN~!! WOOOHOOO~~~

Photobucket

Then we left to Book Off to Daniel's happiness~
We went there and he straight away bought what he wanted.
His money is really seeping away from him XD
Then I took like 20-30 mins standing infront of the BASARA Artbook.
Taking it out, holding it in my arms, opening it, closing it, show it to the others, put it back into the shelf, take it out again, flip through it again, compare and awe at the price difference and put it back again and take it again…. It kept on repeating for very long~
The original Price is………….. 2400yen!!!
The Price I got it for is……………….995yen! AHAHAHAHAH!!! Awesome right??/
And it is still in a nice and new condition.
It is like 2 times better than the other book I bought.
Yea… I bought it in the end ………….. *runs in the corner and hide*

So we walked around Book Off and was there for like an hour plus!
Almost everyone bought something except Natalie but I think she has her eyes set on some stuff here and there.
But there is like this very AWESOME discovery.
Any Detective Conan fans reading this blog?
Well, listen up~
Detective Conan Original Second Hand comics Volume 1 – 34 : Price is = …………………………………………………………………………………..

….



..

..

300yen ONLY!

Awesome right?
Imagine… 1 volume is normally about 400-500 yen.
Here you can get all 34 volumes by only paying 300 yen~
Imagine that~ *Epic music plays in the background and spotlight shines on the 300yen price tag*

Then Natalie left to go home cause she was really tired.
Now it was my turn to get something which I have been having my eye on since Monday.
Yes.
It is the Legendary Limited Edition only available in Japan
NODAME CANTABILE CUP WITH THE MONGOOSE PHONE STRAP ATTATCHED TO IT!!!!
*EPIC MUSIC PLAYS ONCE AGAIN*
Ivan videotaped the whole scene.

Commentator : Daniel
Cameraman: Ivan

The cup is filled with Ginger ale! YUM!
The Japanese love Ginger ale~!

Then that was it really.
My previous post, I forgot to mention that I took pictures of the arcade near my Language School so here are the pics:

Then with that we just played some games in the arcade.
As we were about to leave the place, they set up this new game.
It is called "Music Gun Gun"
It's a shooting music game.
Daniel and I were the 2nd pair of people to have tried it.
It was so easy man!
We got 1st place! HAH!
Not everyday you get 1st place in an arcade game in Japan I tell you!
Photobucket

Then Ivan left to go home.
But I was craving for some ice cream and Daniel wanted to eat crape because for some reason, Crapes are REALLY popular in Japan.
So we went to this shop and Daniel got his Crape and I got my Ice Cream.
Here's the funny thing.
I ate it… and I found out it was yogurt flavour!! @_@
*cries*
I thought it was vanilla!
I got scammed!
Nah, I just didn't read the whole sign.
The flavour was written like at the top right but like REALLY TINY!
*cries*
I still ate it all though.
Another funny thing was how they named the cup sizes.

Small = Cute
Medium = Sexy
Large = Glamorous

AHAHAHAH! I know right?
Then they have like different toppings which have their own name.
Like mine was "Plain" with nothing on top so mine was called "Plain Cute"
Here are the pics of it~

Then we went back to our homes.

DAY 27 : More poison spreading~ AHAHAHA! What more can you ask of me? :P

Class was as per normal.
Then… We went to lunch and then all the fun begins~

Today I got to hang out with another classmate of mine.
Her nickname or Japanese name which has been created from her chinese name is Misaki san.
Misaki San is also from China~
Very matured and organised young lady.

I took Daniel to the big Book Off store which I went to on Monday.
He saw so many things he wanted XD with a very cheap price.
He ended up buying like 2 CDs!
AHAHA!
poor guy~ :p
Thanks to me, he has spent sooo much money in one month XD :P

Then we left and he was happy and cursing me at the same time !

AHAHA~ Oh well :P

As we left the shop and was thinking of leaving to go home...
An American lady came up to us.
She was lost.
She had a meeting but thanks to the trains she got lost and she missed her meeting.
And that time she had troubles finding the place which the meeting was held.
So we helped her.
Daniel led the way first then got lost.
We spoke in English in turn , Misaki san couldn't understant what was going on.
But everything seemed pretty under control so we just tagged along.
Along the way I explained to Misaki san on what was happeneing.
Then she was like "Why didn't you say so earlier? I know where the place is !"
AAHAHAHA! Man... so fail~ XD
So halfway Daniel got a bit lost and Misaki san lead the way~
She was awesome~!

So we brought the American Lady to her meeting place.
From there we left our seperate ways~

DAY 26 : Research!

Today went to class~
Nothing different or unusual.
Daniel was absent again though.
Natalie and Ivan came! Yay!

After class, Natalie and Ivan wanted to find out abit more about the Special training colleges so we went to the 2nd floor of the school where they keep all the catalogues and books which have all the info on all the colleges and unis.
So we were stuck there for about an hour of 2 just looking at the pamphlets and checking everything out.
Then Ivan told me about this Special Training College called HAL.
I checked it out and it looks really promising.
He told me that he will be going to go look at the college this Saturday.
I am SO GOING!

Then Natalie went home.
Ivan and I had lunch in Yoshinoya then we talked for about another hour or so about life here in Japan and about all the colleges and stuff~
Next thing we knew, it was already 4pm!
So we left to go home.
Went home and relaxed.
Did my homework and study.
Nothing much today~ J

Night all~

DAY 25 : Alone~

Today I woke up feeling GREAT!
My stomach problem has disappeared!
I was right, I definitely ate too much!
So from today onwards, I will control how much I eat.

Btw, I forgot to mention, yesterday I got a Package from REINA!!
YAY!! <3
They did say that they will sent me rice from Okazaki.
But I thought they were kidding.
And On Sunday, she sent me an sms to tell me that they have sent the rice!
I was like, OMG!
Yea, so it reached the house last night.
So today I decided I will make onigiri! :D
Btw, they didn't only sent rice… they sent SEAWEED and SHREDDED SALMON, CHA SOBA!
And I tell you, the rice is enough to last me for a month!
I might be sending rice back home XD

Yea, so got up at 6.30am.
Cooked the rice and went upstairs to finish up some home work which I haven't finished XD
Then got ready and all.
By that time, the rice was ready.
Went downstairs, made the onigiris.
Then left for class~

Photobucket

Photobucket

Today was weird!
Natalie, Ivan and Daniel all were absent! @_@
That is like SUPER RARE!
Natalie eventually came for class after break time.
Then she rushed off right after class ended!

Everyone left to do their thing.
And I found out that I was left alone today! @_@
First time!
I had left over onigiris which I wanted to give them today…
So I ate all that for lunch~
Then, I did some of my homework.

Started to get sleepy so I decided that I will go home.
Of course that didn't really happen XD
I strayed abit ~
Decided that I wanted to go find out where Pepper Lunch is again.
So As I was walking there, I saw… BOOK OFF~!
This time, an even bigger store!
So I decided to go take a look there after I was done with finding Pepper Lunch.
After walking a while, I realised that I was sort of feeling abit lonely~
It's been a while since I was alone walking around.
And I realised how I have been so used to people I know around me so much that I totally forgot what loneliness was like.
And… it wasn't a nice feeling at all…
HOMESICK~!

Found Pepper Lunch and made a note to self that I have to so eat there before I leave Japan.
Then I walked to Book Off.
It was…….. HUGE!
And the selection compared to the other Book Off store is like… WAY MORE~
So I spent like 1 hour plus looking around and reading some mangas XD
Then…. I saw… ANOTHER BASARA ART BOOK!
Which is WAY BETTER than the other one I bought XD
But they both have their own good points I guess~
But what was even better is that it was selling at… 999yen!!!!
The original price is………….. 2400yen!! AHAHAHAHAH! AWESOMENESS~~~
But I decided to not buy it yet…

Then I left the shop and went home.
Had dinner and found out that Ivan overslept and that Daniel was sick.
Did my homework and went to sleep~

Btw, thanks to not being able to study for my kanji test, I only got 72 L sadness!
But today's test felt really good!
I think I should be able to get another hundred. :D
And it has been decided that I actually go and visit Reina during Golden Week!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAY 24 : NODAME CHAN!! And… WHAT? SO EXPENSIVE?!

Woke up and felt better but still very uncomfortable stomach…
My conclusion is that I ate too much and all the fried stuff like reacted in my stomach and produced so much air that I am feeling like I want to vomit…
AISH!
Thanks to that too I woke up at like 3am having a REALLY bad stomach ache ><
Couldn't sleep until about 4 am plus.
Went to school feeling all groggy and bad.
Didn't get to study much Kanji.

Went to class.
Somehow managed to live through it.
Kanji test wasn't good at all L oh well…
Then I stayed back in school for another half an hour for this getting into Japanese University/ Special Training College proceedures explanation thingy.
Really glad that I did.
The teacher guided us on what to do.
If I still continued to study in Arc Academy and start applying for college, they would like help out with the Entrance exams and all that.
I felt more assured~
asked them some questions on my current dilenmas.
Which made me have to think through about my future plans again~
Need to go home and have some long talk with mommy and daddy~! :)

Then lunch time, I decided to take it easy.
I ordered "お子様ラーメン" (Kid's Ramen) with corn~
Ahahaha! It was like this tiny bowl with bear pictures at the side XD
AHAHA! But it was yummy~
Everyone laughed at me~ cause I ordered the kiddies meal~ HAHAH
But lucky I did.
That small bowl was enough for me.
And it allowed my stomach to relax abit more.
I was tired and feeling horrible still but i… FORGOT MY KEYS TO GO HOME!! *cries*
And Keiko-san will only be back at 6pm +
Sigh… So I had no choice but to stay out until 5.30pm
So I decided that I will go watch a movie since it will not require me to do anything and I can let my stomach calm down.
Decided to watch Nodame!!
Ivan and Daniel followed along.
Although Daniel was hesitating abit cause he was like really tired…
But he came in the end.

Went to buy the tickets and guess how much was one ticket?
.

.

.

.

1800 YEN!!! OMG!! THAT IS LIKE RM60!!!

.

.

.*Dies* But I still wanted to watch it so oh well. I could have got it for 1500yen BUT! I just had to forget to bring my student card too!
AISH!
So I reluctantly pay 1800yen.
Daniel had his student care but he didn't have this "Alien Registration card" so he couldn't get the full discount.
He had to pay 1500 yen.
Ivan on the other hand, had all his cards so he got the ticket for 1000yen.
NOT FAIR~!!!

Anyways~ Went to watch the movie.
It's Daniel's first time watching Nodame so he has no clue on anything haha!
But he liked it~
Ivan liked it~
I liked it!
The ending for the live action beats the ending for the anime ANYTIME!

Then… there was this Nodame cup which you could buy for 600++yen
I WANTED IT!!! L
But… I decided I have spent too much today…
I WILL BE BACK FOR YOU NODAME CUP WITH THE FREE PHONE STRAP!! MIAO!!!!!

Then we all headed back.
Made it home and had dinner.
This time I made sure I denied any extra intake of food.
Cause you see, the past weeks I have been fed REALLY well!
Too well until it's like over fed everyday.
That's the Japanese's hospitality for you.
But I can tell you… for their small size… the Japanese eat A LOT!!!
The grandpa like eats DOUBLE of what I eat every night I tell you!
So today I ate what I could.

So my stomach got more happy.
Did my homework, studied for my Kanji happily and went to sleep.
After some chatting of course HOHO~~

DAY 23: 少年野球!!!! SHOUNEN YAKYUU~~~!!

Woke up, helped Keiko-san put my futon out in the balcony.
Had my brunch.

And left for SHOUNEN BASEBALL WATCHING~
I went to watch this Little League team called Hawks I think.
Little league is specially set up for like primary school kids who wants to be on a baseball team cause their schools normally don't have teams yet until middle and high school.
So little league is set up for all the boys around that area.
They don't have to be from the same school.
The coaches and managers are all parents who volunteer and have passion for the sport.
They will use any public Baseball field which is available.
Then mothers will help prepare drinks and all that cause the trainings are like from 9am till 5pm XD !
INTENSE! And they are only primary school kids man!
There are trainings on Sat and Sun.
The boys and the fathers will go set up the field.
Rake the sand, pull up the nets, set the mound and etc.

When all is done, training starts.
Warm up, catch ball, throw ball and etc.
I WANNA PLAY TOO!!!
Here is a vid (which will come later >< sry!!):

AHAHA so anyways, was there until about 2.30pm then I left for home.
Then I just relaxed until dinner.
Had dinner then did all my homework
Dinner was yummy! Today had SOBA!! And some awesome tempura stuff.
Which I think I ate too much…
Which then gave me some problems ><
Felt like throwing up~ AHAHA ><

Hope tomorrow I will feel better! @_@

DAY 22: Recharge my body’s battery~

Today nothing much happened really.
I just stayed home all day~
Classmate of mine called.
From China.
REALLY INTERESTING GUY!
AHAHA!
I never understand what he says XD
After talking with him for about 10 minutes I slowly got used to his really unstructured Japanese XD
Really a funny guy~

Otherwise… I practised violin…
HMMnnnn….
Yea really nothing much today~

Chatted a lot here and there.
Read manga.
Relax.

Dinner.
Chat.
Sleep~

Tomorrow, I'm going to watch Keiko-san's grandson, Sou-chan, play baseball~~!
少年野球!!!! (Shounen Yakyuu : Young Boys' Baseball)

DAY 21: TEST!!! OMG!

Today I was caught off guard again…. ><

I TOTALLY forgot about the extra BIG Grammar exam.
Sigh… Oh well~ Sat through it.
Still was tired from the day before but oh well… somehow did it.

Plus point was that I got back 2 of my kanji tests and they were both………………….. 100 MARKS~!!! WOOHOOO~~~~!!!

Yea… so that was that.
Then after class I just hung out with Daniel.
I took him to the bookstore which I bought the Mangas.
I went to collect my SILVER DIAMOND VOLUME 18~!! Which was waiting for me since yesterday.
Apparently, this was Daniel's first time in a "REAL" Bookstore in Japan ! AHAHAHA!
I can't believe it!
So anyways, I took home around the store and took him to the manga section.
Then he was just looking around and didn't have anything to buy … UNTIL!!!!!
UNTIL he saw this shelf which had like this SUPER old comic thingy which he really likes!
Turns the book around and looks at the price.
*Jaw drops*
Puts the book back in the shelf.
Walks away.
Stops.
Walks back to the shelf.
Takes the book and leaves to the counter.
AS he held the book and walked towards the escalator, his words were, "It's all your fault Kelli"
Before I could reply, we were walking pass another shelf which had "RUBIX CUBE"
He stopped and stared drooling at them.
Cause he collects Rubix Cubes and the ones we saw there were like… Never seen before!
"Rubix Tower" and "Rubix Something and something"
HAHA!
Daniel: "It's ALLLLL YOUR FAULT KELLI! Now I'm sooo poor, and my parents are going to kill me!"
Me: "You're welcome~! *smiles*"
He wanted 2 but I took 1 away from him and paid for it.
it was pretty expensive but oh well~
It will be his birthday present from me~
He has helped me around Osaka so much and all too~
His birthday is on the 25th Of April~

Then we walked around somemore and we decided to sit down in starbucks and just talk since it was cold outside.
Talked and talked and talked.
Next thing we know, it is already 4pm!

Said our goodbyes and left for home~
Went home and had dinner and did what I wanna do~
Tomorrow is a SATURDAY~ YAY!
And I don't plan on going anywhere~!

DAY 20 : @_@

Hi all~

Today I woke up feeling dizzy and EXTREMELY tired… ><
Must be because of the crazy fluctuating weather…
Just when it was nice and sunny, it just becomes REALLY cold the next day… AISH~!

Anyhow, somehow managed to drag myself to eat and walk and get on the train n get squished and walk and somehow manage to sit though the whole class.
After Class I just went straight home.
That, of course shocked Keiko-san.
I reached home at like 1pm.
And that NEVER happened before.
Then I told them that I felt dizzy in the morning and all then I just went to bed and slept.
Then I woke up for dinner.
Then did my homework and went back to sleep.

Sunday, April 18, 2010

DAY 19: hmmm~

I seem to be getting up earlier and going on to different trains everyday~
It's like an experiment to see which train is like less packed.
Then I found out about the train carriage which is specially for girls from 7.30am-8.10am
So that is by far the most comfortable train ride I think~

Today we had a different teacher teach us.
Every Wednesday and Thursday our teachers will change.
Wednesday will be Mizuno sensei and Thursday will be Ishida sensei~
Both are female teachers.
My every other day and class teacher is Asada Sensei.
He is a great teacher.
And all the teachers here can speak at least 2 to 3 languages which is really cool~

My big kanji test got 88/100 as well I think.
Today our lesson was all on Comprehension.
So it was all about reading the passage and answering from there.

So that was today.
Then class ended at 12.30pm.
I forgot to mention that other than the Kanji test, we have another test everyday.
That test will be based on what we have learnt on that day itself.
All the new grammar and words.
So far all my marks for it has been ok.
All in its 38-47/50.
BUT I WANT 48-50!!! MIAO!
I WILL WORK HARD!!

Then today I have this Orientation thingy for my Homestay thingy at 1pm so, knowing how slow I eat my food, I kind of like decided that I will not eat.
And only eat after the orientation thingy.
So I was waiting and waiting… then… my stomach wasn't very merciful at all.
It was growling away.
20 mins more till 1pm.
Growl… growl… growl…
ARGH! MIAO!!!
Runs down and rushes to the nearest Convenience Store and buys an onigiri.
Opens it and starts chomping it.
Faster walks back to the school and makes it back 8mins before 1pm.
Phewph…

Then 1pm came, and the orientation thingy started.
I was wondering what this was all about, to find out that it was just like a briefing on how to behave and all when you homestay with a Japanese family.
The person who went through everything with us, meaning Sou-san and me (yea… 2 of us only…), was the Host Family Coordinator, Hosakawa san.
I've only been hearing about her name but haven't met her.
I visualised this middle aged, stern lady for some reason everytime I heard her name.
I was TOTALLY wrong.
She was this young, pretty lady.
To think that she was in charge of all this.
Anyways, so we got her contact number and all.
She asked us how was everything and all~
and to contact her right away if anything happened.

So that was done.
Then I had to save my half full stomach.
So I was deciding where to go and Sou-san asked me to try out this place called "551"
Hosokawa san said that she loved that restaurant too!
So I was like, alright, why not~
So Sou-san brought me there.
Btw, if I have forgotten to mention, Sou-san is from Taiwan.
Sorry I don't have a picture of her.
So we went there and she bought me a "Buta Man" (Pork Bun)
It is like erm… Char Siew Pao in Malaysia.
Except, that the sauce and all was different and the pork was just delicious!!!
Sorry, this section abit non-halal.
Anyways.
Yea, IT WAS YUMMY~!!

Then Sou-san told me that she needs to shop for some long sleeved shirts since it's been so cold.
So I decided to follow her.
So we walked pass a lot of shops and all.
Then… we passed by…. ZARA!
Then she was like, "O looks like there are some stuff I can get there, let's go in and check~!"
Then I was like , "Are you sure? @_@ It's a banded shop you know. Lots of expensive stuff in there!"
Then she was like, "Really? Let's go in and see anyways."
Me: "Oh… ok then…" *follows her inside ZARA*
Sou: *Takes one shirt and looks at the price tag* "Oh, it's fine. Quite good pricing. Not expensive at all~"
Me: *stares at her* "…"
Sou: *Goes in further to chose her clothes*
Me: *picks up a shirt and looks at the price tag* "…………………..!!!!!!!!!!!!" *@_@ Jaw drops, puts shirt back and follows after Sou*

" . . . "

I forgot the price but I remember it was expensive… I saw one Jacket which was 12000yen = RM 400+++
And the best part was… the shop was FLOODED with people.
@_@ < Culture shock………!

So… Sou-san tried on a few shirts and bought 3…!!!! @_@
I really donno how to take this … haha… ><
Well, she was happy with her purchase so what more can one ask for yea?

Then we went our separate ways.
I went to the bookstore! OH NO! DANGER!!!
HAHA! Yea… tell me about it… I couldn't help myself…
I bought 2 mangas… >< I have been waiting to find out what happened in that series for YEARS! I seriously mean YEARS!!
And no other bookstore in Japan seem to have this series.
So I couldn't help it.
Then the other this with killed me was… I wanted volume 18 and 19.
The shelf had, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17……………19!
EHHHHHH???!!!!
WHERE IS 18??????!!!!!!!
*cries*
Anyways, I took 19 and then there was this other manga which I couldn't take my eyes off as I just fell in love with the artwork….!
>< And I forgot to mention that yesterday I also bought a book which was all on all the character on Sengoku Basara (A Samurai Game/anime which I LOVE).
It had all the original artwork of the characters!
It was GORGEOUS!!!
I couldn't stand it… I had to buy it.
I was eyeing that book since last week when I first saw it…. ><

Yea…. So those were my deadly purchases which will leave me more poor~
That will end my "personal wants" purchasing for the rest of this trip.
But I know I wont regret purchasing these books.
So I went to the counter and ordered 18 which will be available tomorrow~ YAY~!
They even wrapped my books for me~
Nothing more expected from the Japanese.

Photobucket

Went home and had dinner and studied and slept~
and chatted with my sis and bro on Skype~~ WEEE HAPPY HAPPY ME~
Of course chatted with other friends back home!
I MISS EVERYONE~!!!

Saturday, April 17, 2010

DAY 18 : Pay back time! HAH!

Hello~!

Today was as per normal.
Today I got up at 6.30am!
IMPROVEMENT! YAHOO~~!!
Took a nice shower and headed down for breakfast.
Took my time to eat.
Left for the train. This is the first time I made it in time for the train before 8.10am!
I made it in time for the train at 8.01am
Took that train and left for school~

Class was as per normal.
My 2nd Kanji test was like 88/100! HAH!
You watch teachers! This is not the end! MIAO!

Then after class, it was payback time towards Daniel! HAH!
I took him to Book Off, a shop I have mentioned before which sells mangas at only 105 yen.
It was his first time there and he wants to kill me for showing him all the cheap stuff he wanted to buy!
HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO~~~~ *evil laughs*

Then we headed to this random restaurant.
It was PRICY! But it looked REALLY delicious!
And for some reason, the more delicious looking items, which were the Omu Rice set meal were like WAY cheaper than the other stuff they had!
So we went in to eat the Omu Rice.
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
There was Omu Rice, with curry, with pork cutlet, with a little bit of Pasta~
YUMMM~~~
Although the price wasn't yum but oh well~
All that was for 880yen~
While we were eating, they were showing this really AWFUL Japanese drama.
The acting was all so fake and SOOO FUNNY!
It was supposed to be a serious dark drama by the ways~ HAHA~!
And another thing about this shop was that, there was only one guy mending the WHOLE shop!
He did everything, from serving the customers, cooking the food, cleaning the tables to washing the dishes!
Amazing isn't it?
And on top of that, his food was simple but awesome~!

Then Daniel and I left to go home~

I went home and…. SLEPT!
So tired~
And for some strange reason, the cold weather is coming back!!
AISH! GO AWAY!

Got up for dinner and went up to do my work and study again~
Everyday I'm spending at least 3 hours with my Japanese.
Can you imagine~ The me who doesn't like to study~!
HAHA~!

DAY 17: Laaa Laa LAAAAAA~~!! GACKT!

Hhello everyone~!!

Woke up, breakfast, train, squished, class, LUNCH!!

YAY! Today I FINALLY got to eat at Yoshinoya~!
It's like a place which serves thin Pork Slices on the rice~
I ordered the set with the pickled vegetable and the raw egg which you put on top of your Pork rice.
YUM! And CHEAP! 360 yen!

Then our next stop was……… KARAOKE!!
FINALLY! KARAOKE IN JAPAN!
Of course… the pricing was not very welcoming to our ears…
Natalie wasn't really happy as she said you can normally get karaoke for a cheaper price.
But we went in anyways for only 1 and a half hours… L
Those who know me will know that that is just not enough for me~
HAHA!
And what is worse is that they had ALL THE GACKT SONGS!
Even FLOW, KAT-TUN, LaRC~en~Ciel, SIAM SHADE, Ayumi Hamasaki , ANIME SONGS, EVERYTHING!!!! AHHHHHH
Although they didn't have the right videos for all the songs... some videos even repeated!
It was hilarious!
Yea so… for the 4 of us, Natalie, Daniel, Ivan and me, that 1 and a half hour passed like the wind~!
I should go back to Malaysia and work in Red Box and go and edit their song list! MIAO!
Anyways, even though it was short, it was fun~~!!
One thing for sure… no more Karaoke for me in Japan until the next time I'm here again.

Then we headed back home.

Did my homework and had dinner.

Studied my Kanji and slept.
(ps: My 1st Kanji test result came back… and… yea… it was horrible… 33/100…. >< YOU WATCH SENSEI! I WILL HAVE MY REDEMPTION! SINCE YOU CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD! I didn't know about the test L MIAO!)

DAY 16 : Relax?

Hi everyone.

Today… there was really nothing much going on.
Today I just stayed home all day.
Did my homework and all.

Dinner and… hmmmmm
That's about it?

Haha! School starts again tomrrow~
Need to get all these Kanji memorised!

DAY 15: Blurp~

Today I woke up at 11am XD

Today I will be going to the Osaka AQUARIUM~!!

"Kaiyukan (Osakako, Chuo Line) [29] is one of the world's largest aquariums, with 11,000 tons of water and plenty of sharks (including a whale shark), dolphins, otters, seals, and other creatures of the sea. The largest tank, representing the Pacific Ocean with 5,400 tons is nothing but overwhelming. On the weekend, musicians and street performers offer additional entertainment to people outside the aquarium. ¥2000 (¥900 children)."

Yea, so went there with Daniel, tried to call Natalie and Ivan but they were busy…
So we went~
before we could enter the aquarium, we saw this guy performing outside.
He was juggling.
it was probably the best juggling performance I've seen in my life~!
Too bad I didn't bring my vid camera with me today… @_@
He did all sorts of complicated tricks, it was awesome!
And there was this one trick which he failed to complete, but he never gave up!
It was a really complicated trick!
So he tried and tried until he got it :D
So proud of him!
Gave me some inspiration to do well in my studies! ^_^

Then we went in and… well its all fishes so nothing much to explain so the pics will do all the explanation~~!!

PHISHY my dear~~ I will do bring you here next time! You will love it~!

Then went home.
Thanks Daniel for the great day today~!
Today the station which I came out from was like in a totally different area of Nanba so I was like lost for about 10 minutes… @_@
Thank goodness I followed my instincts.
I finally made it to my station and went home.
Tonight … SUKIYAKI!! YUMM!!

My gosh! The way they made Sukiyaki is like totally different and like totally time efficient!!!
I can make this at home for everyone too!
It was awesomely tasty!
All they did was have that portable frying pot/pan thingy, then put like 3 cubes of lard on it, then let the lard melt a little, then put the meat on, SPAM sugar, SPAM shoyu sauce, let it cook, then spam the vegetables, let it cook and WALAH~ you are done~~
Have your beat up raw eggs ready and you are ready to eat~!
It was really awesome!
Really yummy~!
Then watched abit of TV with them and went upstairs~


That was it for the day~ ^_^
