Happy new year baby..

I'm starting to miss him more and more these days. Especially since its the festive season now! Wonder how its like to welcome the new OX year with him and my family by my side. hehe. not bad lah.

Most of all,

i wanna give him a big bear hug and sing to his face.

恭喜恭喜你呀，恭喜恭喜你！每个人的..something something.

*grins*

But oh wells, greediness is never encouraged in Buddhism.

:D

"Yearning to see the Buddha, they never begrudge their lives."

Great dinner date^^

After our Monday presentation which went badly, my dear economics group still thought that we all deserve a good dinner together.. ^^

:P

Because we were poor students on a budget, (well, because I was THE poor student on a budget) everyone was accommodating enough to have SHAKEYS for dinner (:

Us and our 850yen all you can eat pizzaaaasssss!!

hehe. cheapo mae and her awesome Kyodai groupmates^^


It was an awesome dinner with PLENTY of talking and talking. We even got the courtesy of getting to meet Brad, a really cool Aussie! So we yak yak and yak till SHAKEYS closed!

hehe.

thats how good we are. (:

Thank goodness for the Developmental Economics class :)

oh. and my face..
its getting rounder than it should!

*miffed*

*deadpans*

Beautiful song, one that propelled him to instant stardom in shores beyond that of Taiwan's

Not hard to see why. (:

I bought his album back when i was working in China, only S$2.50. *glee*

Anyway, i was reading the economist.com and there was news fresh from the mouth of our dear finance minister.

Singapore might be devaluing the Sing Dollar.

And you know what is most sian?

Just because the news was released, monetary policies need not be adjusted to devalue the Sing Dollar, market sentiments and panic would just do it for us. *like..hurrah.*

And this afternoon,

100yen = S$1.65/1.68

Not bad huh, leave it to the market forces to turn the wheel for us.

[Free-style play.

Adam smith way.

Mae is damn suay.]

Singapore! Look at me!!! Hang in there!!

At least, Wait until i come home can?

don't like that leh.

Counting the days to seeing the sun again! :P

Am really happy about going home for the holidays. Hmm, am i am happy about going home or happy to leave this exorbitantly expensive country that is Japan?


Well, both lah.


For some reason or another, this winter in Kyoto is getting hard to bear. I get really moody easily and poor boyfriend has to put up with my dumbass behaviour.


It gets dark too early and i get hungry too quickly -> worst shit.


Ah wells.. 30 more pages of report to go, 2 more exams and many more hours of studying Japanese and everything will be okay!

:)

YES IT WILL!

hehe, i think its quite nice la, so just showoff lor.

eeeee-yer

BU YAO LIAN!

sian-ness.

Blah.

Sibei sian, so many things to do which in my opinion are boliao things- so many reports all blardie at least 10 pages long and 2 freaking presentations to complete by this week.

bogged down with all these when i should be studying my Japanese language. (=.=)"

that's the whole point of why i am here.................................

urgh.

Like ah beng in army daze,

SIAO LIAN EH!! CHIONG AH!!!!!!!

My shite Japanese.

日本語を勉強するために、日本にきました。


日本語が　上手に　なるように、毎日勉強　して　います。


しかし、日本語は　難し　すぎる、　今まで　日本語で　会話を　したことが　ありますせん。


でも、私は決してあきらめません！


一所懸命　勉強　して　います！　何人も　「新しい言語を　勉強する　のは　やさしい」と　言いませんでした！


chiong ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Valentine's day is coming II.

Bought somethine for him at LOFT the other day. hehe. but they are definitely not chocolates.



Bought some coloured papers and some really pretty sakura envelopes. I think baby like letters? So, i'm going to write letters to him whenever i'm free from now till Valentine's day.



And (hopefully) by 14th feb, they will be enough to make a bundle. Then, i'll tie them up and hand it to him when i see him again or i'll probably send them over by EMS ^^



sweet a not? hehe.

Valentine's day is coming!!

It was the 15th of January yesterday.

LOFT reminded me that Valentine's day was coming!

HOW SO?

Well. In Japan, it has been customary that on Valentine's day GIRLS have to give the BOYS they like chocolate, well to hint like neon-lights on the streets of Hong Kong at night that "I LIKE YOU" >.<

talk about being subtle.

hehe.well, something uniquely Japanese eh.

After that, if the girl receives chocolate back from the guy, then.. You get married and have 10 babies! :P

hahaha. nah, just innocent crushes la hor.

But anyway, just like the great Singapore sale atmosphere..where things get a little too overwhelming..

There were...

INSTANT CHOCOLATE MIXES - foundue chocolate, chocolate truffle, chocolate cookie..

MORE INSTANT CHOCOLATE MIXES...

BAKING ESSENTIALS FOR MAKING INSTANT CHOCOLATES.

AND MOREEEEEE CHOCLATE EVERYWHERE!!! (EH LOOK LIKE OUR NTUC'S ROWS AND ROWS OF GARDENIA BREAD HOR? :p)

BUT THEN. all instant chocolate mixes...

AND I CONCLUDE.--

PLAY CHEAT ONE!!!

Taiwan, Hongkong and Singapore in San-jyou! :)

Went to 三条 yesterday wth Vivian and B!

楽しみね！＾＾ -> just one of the obscenely few Japanese i know. >.<

B's thumb is up because of..

AND YES!, it is as good as it looks ^^ haha. The sauce is American enough in flavour though not spicy enough. But, one shouldn't ask so much for 350yen !

Make a guess where we were! ^^





After (barely) filling our bellies. Look at the size of the 350yen BAGA! We went to Matsumoto Kiyoshi and i spent like 5000yen there. (read: dearest papa and mama, i'm sorry! :P )





Afterwhich we went to LOFT!





Anyway, loft is a departmental life store that stocks everything from "things that you wouldn't ever need in your life but its just too cute to resist from buying" to "daily essentials sold at exorbitant prices and these are the same essentials u can buy from 100yen shop."





In essence, its a cool and kawaii! place to spend or waste some time. (:



anyway i found dim-sum or steamed birds and octopus there

HEHE. BERY CUTE HOR. (^.^)**

but look closely lah, its actually 2 birds and a tako enjoying some On-sen. haha.

Must be Japanese bird and Japanese ocotopus.

Singapore came! ^^

*ringring*

"Hello! I'm the guardman, do u speak Japanese?"

Me: "yes, i do."

Guardman: "okay, please come downstairs to collect your package"

(-_-")

Even the guardman don't wanna practice Japanese with me.

But, anyway.. guess what came in the mail last night?

<3

Singapore came ^^

Thank you so much my dearest family!

Oh! Fried Onion came too ^^

But fishball, char tou kuey, fried fish bee hoon and black pepper crab didn't. :(

hehe, but these will keep me happy for now ^^

I'm coming home soon!

By the way my flight back home will cost me close to S$1000; Dominic told me that his ticket from Osaka to FRANKFURT on EMIRATES will cost him only S$1200.

LIEW.

Since when we became so far from Japan huh?

Oh, and it'll take me more than 10 hrs to reach home.

*deadpans*

Hope Cathy Pacific is a good way to fly. ^^

I'm coming back home!~~~~

SINGAPURA!!!!

Presentation of the year!

Done with my presentation for my Japanese Garden Design class.

Anyways, come to think of it ah, how come my group can do on the Artichectural design of Beijing Olympic Games Venues ah?

A) How did they think of it? - Not even remotely near the objective of the course. READ: The Meaning of Japanese Garden Design. - Its not even remotely Japanese and neither is it anything close to a garden!!!

B)How did my teacher approved our research theme?

But oh, never mind, or in Jit-pun: dai-jyoooo-buuuu..

For my class "The Meaning of Japanese Garden Design" i'm doing a presentation on...

The Beijing National Aquatics Centre aka The Watercube YEAY! =.=

Essentially what i learnt from this course and from doing this presentation can be summed up in 6 words:

"The watercube looks like VIVOCITY HOR?"

wakakakakkaka!

And something else interesting..

Each of us is allocated 1 minute to present our chosen architecture's design.

Not bad eh?

Crash course to 1 minute presentations:

Rule number one: Don't breathe

Rule number two: Don't you dare ummmm..erm...ehhhhh..ehhhhtooo..

Rule number three: Don't breathe

Rule number four: there is no such thing as a comma, fullstop or a breath.

Rule number five: If u forget your presentation speech. Just tell the audience your name, class, birthdate and your lao-bei and lao-bu's name, breathe 2x and then it'll all be over.

Not bad hor?

Japan rocks!

^^*

My Japanese family ^^

Today i met with my host family again..

was horribly late because i took the wrong train from Kyoto JR station.

Instead of taking the normal/sub-express train..

I took the SUPER-UWON'TBELIEVEHOWFASTITISTILLUSITIT DUPER YOEXPRESS TRAIN!!

DIEDED.

Liew, the train was going sooooooooooo freaking fast, i freaking understood at that point why Japanese people choose to sleep on trains.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND THE F1 RIDE WILL BE OVER SOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!

YAR!! IT GO SO FAST, I CAN IMAGINE THAT IF I PUKE, IT'LL LEAVE A TRAIL BEHIND ME...

BLEAH!!

i'm not going complain about our MRT anymore..60+km/h is good for meee and all the ah-pek and ah-ma alike.

ANYWAY, THE SUPER-EXPRESS TRAIN DIDN'T STOP FOR 6 STOPS AND I ENDED UP IN THIS PLACE IN OSAKA!!!

i almost cried lah. :( cos the Japanese people don't understand my Japanese and when they do, i don't understand what they trying to tell meeee...

KNN.

finally i found my way to Katsuragawa from Takatsuki (i'll nv forget this name for as long as i liveeee~!)

By then, i was already late for more than an hour..anyway, main point is that i've found them and i was still alive but badly frightened like a lost puppy! (HAHAHA. =.=)

MY HOST FAMILY..

and

paiseh, she look a little bit like ailen here but i assuer u in reality shes really really lovely and cute! ^^

Chirou-chan!

But today, Kotaro and Irie-papa was not home so Irie-Mama invited some of her friends along and here we are..

It was a lovely day and Irie-mama ended the ladies (uh-hmmph, that includes me) chit-chat session by playing the piano for us. ^^ Enjoyed myself greatly despite the bad initial start! Demo, eat, drink and be merry!

eh, my hair nice bo? hahahaha. :D

Have to do my presentation for my Japanese Garden design now! That is if i can drag my arse to go about doing it.

blah. school sucks.

my my, why did that come from?

^^*

same old brand but new me. :P

After reading my previous post, i decided to start doing something to change my image, to celebrate me turning 22. (hurray. -_-")

To reduce the list of my grievances, i have taken things into my own hands and change my image for a bit.

Sui boh?

BLAH!

Turning 22.

Siao eh,

Woke up this year a few times with the dreadful a.k.a kanasai reminder than i am 22 years old officially lah.

Though my birthday is in november, no one will give me face and say i'm 21 because of that. Hence, i decided to calmy accept this FACT of life.

22 years old............................

why my hair still like when i was 16 years old....

为什么！！！！！！

why my weight still never decrease one.

why the stoopid baby-fat on my face won't go away one. (or is it not babyfat???.. :( )

why my Japanese standard still like my cantonese standard？？ (cannot make it..)

why i still have acne one?? still puberty meh??????

why i still cannot convert effectively from YEN to RMB; instead must convert from YEN to SG$ to RMB.

why oh why i still like to eat POCKY?

why i still like to eat so much???

why i still look the same as when i was 16 years old???

why people still guess my age as 28????!!!???

**snorts**

LIFE.
