lazy lazy afternoon

I stumbled upon a certain person's blog the other day that had some entries written in the Japanese language. I was super happy to have found that blog because i actually understood what the person was writing about!! (: From what she had written, i reckon she should be in Level 3/4 of the Japanese language course in NUS. That blog really egg me on to assiduously study my Japanese. When the time comes, hopefully that'll be soon, i'll be ready to type in Japanese for my entries :)

Before that happens, i must really study very hard and be my own good student! heh!

Ah well, last night i had a very interesting dream! I dreamt that my relatives on my mum's side and i were meandering our way through a shopping store in Japan with a rather lost look on our faces! I was not feeling scared or anything despite being lost. Rather, i felt as if i was on a fun ride and i was enjoying myself. haha (: Ah well, i guess my dreams are also doing their part to motivate me in studying. How cool is that? *grins

This afternoon really was a very lazy one for me. Was reading a book titled "Japanland" i couldn't put it down and had wanted to read as much before i went out in the evening. Whose to know that i would fall asleep whilst reading it and it was not like the book was not interesting!! Aiyaya, i'm such a bum! No more reading on my comfy sofa!

Despite that, this afternoon was an especially enjoyable one. I usally am not enamored of the idea of me lazing or sleeping my afternoons away but today was different. I had the feeling of being the literati Alex Kerr describes in his book "Lost Japan"! - Carefree, with all my worries and thoughts in the wind and doing what i want to (reading) when i want to (: ii-neh!

Well, i am not an literati but i sure like the feeling of being one; especially the one Alex Kerr describes :) THAT comes with a drawback though, its 1.19am now and i have to mug to make up for lost time :P Well, the literati feeling was great while it lasted, back to the layman that i am.

That means, back to studying. :) I wanna translate the lyrics of S.H.E's 最近還好嗎 (Recently, are you good?) Its one of my favourite song at current moment. But, i can't spend too long blogging and i have to do something else.

So, Jya, mata :)
