Dinner party after work. (:

Went to work on Friday. And AGAIN! I had to rush for the train, must be the bad karma from being lazy to wake up 5 minutes earlier.

Well Boss decided that it would be nice to have dinner together after work and i stayed back in the school after work to wait for Izacc to finish his class with lil' Ono -(?-not sure if this is his name) hehe.

Ono had an English test! I made tea and snacks for him whilst he was 'eeeh-toh-ing' and 'errrr..' ing on his paper.

hehe..

this was what i saw..

学校　=　skel
ありがとう=tenk yew

*smiles*

So cute right. I know that he knows the answer but the spelling was just a little too 複雑 for him. But come to think of it..

'Skel' DOES sound like 'School' and 'tenk yew' DOES sound like 'Thank You'

Now, i understand the pain of learning English! Haha, now my pain of learning Japanese isn't so bad. at least it isn't as tonal as Mandarin or English! (only in the case of Ono-chan)

Just in case you were wondering, when it came to the oral practice Ono-chan scored full marks! :D


Anyway!

DINNER CAME!

Izacc was hoping that we would have 焼き肉..Haha! But his hopes (and mine too) were crushed when we saw boss coming through the door with containers of food and cans of cocktail.

バイバイヤキニク！ ^^
[bye bye Yaki Niku] ^^

But at least we had some non-alcoholic beer (?) and Izacc was still happy :D



Just give him his 面白い味のビール！

The food was great though it was not anything close to 焼き肉.


Really good Okonomiyaki! Courtesy of boss's grandmother ^^ Obasan, arigatou neh!

Not really Yakiniku and not even remotely Japanese but delicious anyway ^^

One of the sweetest and most loving couple i've ever met. They never held hands and were not even seated next to each other during dinner but you can really sense the love and adoration Takeshi has for his wife.

Can u believe they are both mothers-of-two? Hehe! The lady on the left is my boss. ^^
Such lovable ladies don't you think? :D

STAR OF THE DAY!!!!

A GREAT WAY TO END AN AWESOME DINNER!

I love my job and my colleagues!

Not hard to see why eh?

:D

Family..

I miss home and Singapore dreadfully.

More so, i miss my family so much.

Sunday lunches, movies and grocery shopping with some kopi-sweu-dai and toasted bun along the way never fail to make my week a more wholesome and sweet one.

I wonder what movies i have missed so far.

I slept at 8.30am this morning because i was trying so hard to retrieve the photos which had been deleted by my computer when i first arrive in Japan.

After 5 months of trying, i finally got to getting it done.

It was well worth it! I spent my day today just gazing at them pictures and thanking the fact that i had taken these pictures, of which i now can spend my lonely days in Japan with.

Nah, i'm not sad, regretful or self-pitying. Don't mistaken me.

I am very grateful for being able to come to Japan and be a student of Kyoto University. In fact, i am happy. Truly, i am. But, choices and goals come with a price and that price for me would be the time with my loved ones.

And i made a choice.

I love my family dearly, my thoughts, prayers and love will always be with them. That, no matter where i am or what choice i make, will never falter.

That, for what I'm sure and what i know, is the only factor constant in my life.
