brunei - kansai - kantou - brasil

okay okay.. since no one is updating.. i will...


Brunei - Kansai Arc

after i got back to Japan, I officially had 5-6 days before i left for brasil again... my plane landed in Kansai international airport... yes, I did not go back to Tokyo, instead i went to Osaka.. more effectively, Kobe. There, i stayed with my senior, Najee (much love for her!!!) and there i got to spill all my tsukuba gossip and bond.. Back to my main topic.. why on earth did i go to kansai instead of kantou you ask? eheheh purely otaku-reasons my friends... i went to Kansai because i wanted to go to Universal Studios Japan again... because it was summer.. and this year's summer One Piece (yeah.. the anime...) has a special event in either kamakura (kantou) and USJ(kansai).. here i thought to myself... why not go to Kansai, visit USJ, Najee and semba ka-re one more time? so yeah.. KANSAI LOVE!!! but to my disappointment, the USJ event was not the one i wanted to see, should have returned to Kantou.. oh well.. it doesnt matter... i got to see Najee! and eat semba ka-re...

Hello Kitty Float



Eng(fellow Bruneian in Tsukuba who went to Kobe too) and I


Semba Ka-re

Kansai - Kantou Arc





i got back to Kantou(sunday).. and i have 3 days before i leave for BRASIL.. and heres my dilemma... i havent got my visa done yet... why did i not get it done before? because my tickets only arrived when i was in brunei, and to get the visa, i need the tickets in hand... and then i was thinking of doing it in brunei.. ohh.. wait.. brunei doesnt have a brasilian embassy.. FUCK... right so, i could only do it in Japan, why didnt i do it in Osaka? because there wasnt any in Osaka... the Brasilian Consulate was located only in Tokyo and Nagoya.. and because i live in Tsukuba, I have to go to the Tokyo office (visa application only on mon and weds from 8am-2pm).. i left for the office on monday, explained my situation to the officers, they understood my drama and told me to collect my visa before i fly off to brasil (weds)... (it was really a close call) thank god my flight was 3pm... so yeah.. everything was SOOOOOO last minute.. and while waiting for the queue in the consulate, i was watching a brasilian drama playing on tv... HOT DAMN.. it was a true preview to brasil and their men to me... shit man.. i swear, they dont have to worry about props and sets to make a drama.. most of the scenes are carried out in the bedroom... all those love scenes..(not explicit... just teasing i suppose... kissing on the bed.. and then stripping off clothes to their sexy underwear and then getting under the blanket scenes mostly..) GOD DAMN~! is that all you guys do there?!!?!? i love brasil... HAHAHA


that day i decided to go back, pack and leave.. will bunk over at louise's tuesday night (brasilian friend-chiba university) because its summer and my dorm has no air-conditioning.. WORST EXPERIENCE ever!! and then! to my horror! i discovered that i couldnt leave until wednesday morning(the day i leave for brasil)... why? because i had to sign in the office for my scholarship.. if not i would be BROKE for good! the office wasnt open on both Mon and Tues because it was a public holiday in Japan.. SUCKS ASS!!! so tuesday.. i was stuck in my "sauna" room and susan (new zealand-hitotsubashi university) insisted that she come and bunk... wanted to spend time with me before i leave.. i was like.. are you sure? my room is FUCKING HOT.. i dont have air-conditioning.. and yeah theres nothing to do in tsukuba... shes like sure why not? so she came over.. stayed over my place and boy did she suffer.. we ended up drinking and watching two movies on my computer..sweating all the way.. to ease the pain, we filled to buckets of water and put our feet in... so yeah.... it was funny...



drinkies




Kantou - Brasil Arc


so tuesday went, and wednesday came.. i rushed over to the office to sign and then cleaned up my shit room and attempted to leave for Tokyo.. before leaving my room even, my luggage handle decided to go bust.. im like FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sigh.. im getting all excited from all this re-living this drama... eitherways back to the story


so Susan and I half carried half pushed the broken luggage down 4 floors of my dorm...(no lift/escalator)... and then we decided to split up.. she takes my lugagge to Narita airport, whilst Louise and I go to Consulate to get my visa... after going to the consulate, we had to rush to her place..(Chiba uni) to get HER luggages.. the time now was 12pm.. 3 hours (flight was at 3 45pm)before we officially need to board the plane... it takes time to get to Chiba... fortunately for us Chiba wasnt too far from the airport.. or so we thought.. meanwhile, susan and siti(indonesian - chiba uni)were already waiting for us in Narita airport... right.. we got Louise's luggages.. we got back to the train station.. it was already 215pm.. and we were stuck in Chiba.. the next train comes in 15 minutes!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! louise and i start panicking! what if we miss the plane!?!? what if we never get to brasil!?!??!


Silently we prayed that there was a delay...


we got on to the train, Narita Airport was 30mins away.. basically.. we got to the airport at 315pm... rushed to the gates, rushed to the check in counter.. where there were people waiting for people like us who almost did not make it.. so that they could take our seats.. there we were.. sweating from the heat and from all the running... and siti and susan.. waiting for us.. shaking their heads vehemently screaming you guys are CRAZY!! holding our lunches... (subways) we hadnt anything to eat throughout the whole drama.. when we passed through the metal detector thingy... louise got a bit detained because.. she was holding the subway sandwiches.. and the officer was asking her are there any liquids in the sandwich? any sauce? and we're like.. WE HAVE TO BE ON THE PLANE NOW!! let us goooo!!! no the sandwich doesnt have any sauce (lie) HAHAHAHA..


we were the last ones to board the plane... drama drama drama.. but hey.. we made it... and now i'll live to tell the story to my kids.. HAHAHAHA







amazing race Narita Airport





and we have lift-off



next time on caesa-salad, brasil my love

let me rant

i decided to rant about people complaining about how far my house is...

simple really, i grew up in muara. i live in muara. my friends live in bandar, senkurong, subok, everywhere except muara.. i have friends who live in muara but, jalan muara, the muara which is some what closer to bandar.. lol... i live in muara, the muara which is closer to the beaches, the tip of the bandar-muara district..

everytime i throw parties... and i must say parties over at my place is fun.. because well.. the place is huge.. and if you get too drunk, you dont have to worry about no place to crash.. and youll never be too bored in my house. karaoke/disco/booze/playstation/LAN gaming/beaches/food...

yeah its fun.. but when invitations get sent out, venue gets asked.. i say my place.. and they grimace... they moan.. they complain... but your house is sooo far.... and i say, but its only one night at my place, and besides if there was a party at your place i would go there too.. its the same really.. you scratch my back i scratch yours!

HELL! i live in muara all my life and go to school in bandar all my life. My family makes at least 3 trips to bandar each day! after school, balik rumah, eat lunch and then go to tuition.. after tuition go to another tuition..

DONT COMPLAIN TO ME muara is far! bitches~! it's still in the same freaaking district~! you want far.. think KB!! think TEMBURONG!! think KK!!

i mean like i understand if the situation is you dont have a car, you rely on your parents to send you and fetch you.. , you dont have a driver.. but now im sure we all can drive... we own a car, take your sorry ass and drive to muara yo~! and also dont give me excuses like i dont know the jalan to muara! FUCKING FULL OF SHIT! the glorious thing about bruneian roads is that we all all connected by HIGHWAYS!! Muara-Tutong Highway, Mentiri Highway.. who ask you to use the jalan kampong, banyak simpang, the jalan so sempit lagi.. and i must say our roads are smoooooothhhhhh... think the road from brunei to miri, the part after the immigration, when you officially enter miri.. remember the long stretch of road before you actually get to the town centre... bumpy huh...we have fucking good roads..

next point, people always say.. makan petrol.. WTH~?!?!?! we have subsidised petrol.. one of the cheapest places where you can buy petrol.... and you come to me with this complaint?! try going to malaysia and buying petrol there... and yeah.. its not far at all~!!!! highways make my house seem like going to kb...with those highways going to muara takes only 15 mins top.. of course by this i mean speeding lo.. and dont you dare bring up the "i dont speed-i'm a model citizen" approach.. thats so full of BULL! brunei is great because you dont have to worry about speed traps.. in highways at least.. shit lar.. you follow 80km/hr ka? LOSERS!!!!

and finally, its the same on my case what, i go to your parties held at your place, i go to bandar also what!??!?! same thing what!??! there was a point that i had to pick people up from their house to my place to party! CHI BAI AH.. never complain ah.. ask you to come to my place.. say this say that.. bising saja..

phew! thats off my chest... this is not to anyone in particular.. just pissed off that people think muara is far...

furthermore.. this is from the pang siblings on a whole.. from sa to her friends who think muara is far, from randy to his friends, who had to make him pick them up to play lan games in my house because we have wireless connection, in other words.. generally to everyone who thinks muara is far.... brunei is only a measley 5765sq km... not even a city... we are shamed by miri...

LONDON is far
AUSTRALIA is far
JAPAN is far
SINGAPORE is far..

so sit down in your car... thinking about cruising in your car? where around gadong is it? forget that plan.. try going to muara..

last night


i was at a japanese but influenced by western culture party. What i mean by this is, we had an ACTUAL party... it was bad for a party.. but one cannot expect much from japanese people.. to begin with, japanese people dont usually have parties, they only have drinking sessions in restaurants and karaoke after "party".. now i believe our definition of party = LOUD MUSIC, alcohol (loads of it), hardly any lights, no chairs (no chance for people to sit therefore dance ppl dance~!) snacks... oh yeah drinking games...


Our choice of drinks are very different too.. Japanese people drink beer and sake.. we drink liquor, cocktails, wine and rarely beer... and also, japanese drinks are effing watered down...even the way we drink is different, i mean here the culture is you wait for the seniors to settle down and toast and then drink, and sometimes the seniors will force the juniors to drink loads and stuff.. we on the other hand, drink as we like...


needless to say, i didnt get drunk last night, (HELL! i only had 2 beers and sake-orange juice? because they ran out of alcohol... pah!)


but then again i got sandwiched by two very persistant international student boys... i dont mind one of them, because i thought he was hot, but the other one.. i was "errr" with him... so it was only 4 ppl dancing in the end, 3 foreigners and 1 japanese girl (the girl im bringing back) lol~! there were a few japanese boys trying to dance with us but then i dont know they backed off? why?!?!?!? i wanted to dance with them japanese boys, but they were intimidated by the foreigners ka na??!?!? sighhh...


it was funny last night.. because persistant-guy-whom-im-not-interested-in was being well, persistant... cornering me and in the end asked me for my number..and the other guy...(guy-whom-i-think-is-hot) noticed me trying to escape him, helped me escape.. hahaha.. he told me to say that i didnt bring my phone.. and yeah.. SAFE!!!!

tonight im going to another party with the hot foreign student boy.. yays!


i hope to attack more japanese boys this time.. :D



me and futsuki-chan (fuu-chan)--shes coming to brunei!



fuu-chan and guy who was trying to dance with us but failed

persistant guy and me

akio-kun and me.. (he's a half-ie thats why "akio" but latino look)

waiting for tonight.. lol

i wish.. wish...

everytime i go to harajuku, it always seem to rain on me.. literally and emotionally...

I went on a Sunday. Expecting to see the ever so famed cos-players, goth-lolis.. but no.. it was raining. therefore the show shall NOT go on? even if they were there.. it wouldnt be fun.. cos raindrops keep falling on my head...

it was even more depressing as we went shopping, i couldnt find anything to flatter my figure.. drat you japan! i mean its not like i couldnt wear the clothes... i could wear them.. and make myself look even more pregnant.. why is the fashion now flowy shirts?!?!? with huge-ass ribbons drawn across the chest region!? probably because im in japan.. clothes just need to make Japanese girls look like they ACTUALLY have breasts.. damn it all~!!!!

so depressed me walked along harajuku, and suddenly.. TOPSHOP!!! international brand = international sizes.. i was so estastic that when i found a little skirt, i didnt even consider the price, and just bought it~! when i found out that it was 10000yen.. i taken aback, but it was the first merchandise of the day~! hell man.. im getting it~!

next store.. i saw a cuute outfit... i wanted it but then not so sure about me wearing it.. and then a lady helped me.. she said it'll be fine.. and she helped me find matching outfits.. yeay~! i bought a whole outfit from that store.. so.. little by little i was happy again...

but then there wqas this ONE skirt - ONE skirt~! it was LOVELYYYYYYY too pretty to be true... i was classy.. it was sooo beautiful... but of course that came along with a price... yen 17000(gasp!) of course i didnt buy it.. i wish i did.. but im broke.. how shall i describe it.. it felt very "french"? white base with red flower patterns, and it was the flow-y types with a red sash acting as a belt.. and underneath the skirt, we can see hints of red ruffles coming out...length: up to knees (also available in blue)

but all in all clothes shopping in japan is just depressing if you arent a stick.. as i walked around, i see a few "chubby" japanese girls, and i wonder... where the hell do you get your clothes and how the hell do you manage to pull of the "japanese look"?!?!?!? i started reading blogs of "fat" girls online... seeing plus size fashion blogs.. yeah i was that depressed.. was very tempted to buy clothes online wondering if i was a size 12 or size 14.. but then some where in the middle i realised that i was neither.. and yeah i'm just turning anorexic again.. but its alright, im not particularly starving myself, hell if any, im just eating good food...

im so full of hate and anger towards my body right now... if only if only....

i wish i was fairer.. so i can wear clothes of any colour i want, so i can wear huge ass sunglasses with white frames... and maybe i can dye my hair brown

i wish i was not so blessed across the chest and the ass, so i can wear tubes, mini-skirts, jeans...

i wish i looked like ebi-chan




Ketsumeishi's Mata kimi ni aeru


Now thats HAWTTT..

sighh..


sorry for all the negativity here.. but yeah.. everyone gets their lows sometimes...


to make it up to y'all



dinner in harajuku...
loves adeline, 4 more days till i'm home

Its CRAZY hot here~!

I think the heat is getting to me. I'm beggining to reminisce the Sea Game period. It's that bad...


I mean.. I believe that Brunei is hotter and much much more humid than Japan...


BUT!!!

Back home, we had air-conditioners at hand, we drive to work, school, play. In Japan, we have no air-conditioners, no fans... (generally they have a centralised air-con/heater thing in school.. BUT they only switch it on on the 26th?of June)worse of all NO cars... we walk/cycle to school..



I'm actually glad that I'm going home this summer. I think every summer I'll be leaving Tsukuba at this rate... This summer brazil... next summer hmmm... europe ka na?


speaking of HOT.. i shall continue with my obsession with HOT PINK in this blog too.. just to show how bored I am.. and how the heat is addling my wits...

XD you aint seen nuthing yet.. lol.. but its okay.. too much pink may just be over kill... (for y'all.. not me..)


either way... I'm going home..... will be touching down on the fourth...

NEWS!!! I'm bringing a Japanese friend with me.. so yeah.. woots.. i get to "tapau" a friend.. hahahah did i mention.. "SHE"

hahaha it was cool...

she: adeline-chan where are you going this summer..?

me: going back.. you?

she: i was planning to go to Singapore for a week..

me: hehhh.. Singapore ka..

she: I was actually considering Brunei, but then Brunei doesnt have any youth hostels...

me: YOUTH HOSTELS???!! girl you dont need youth hostels!!! come over my place!!! i'll show you around!!

she: REALLY?!?!?!?!

me: HELL YEAH!!

she: i'll check about the tickets then..

other girls around me: REALLY?!?!?! you'd welcome us in to your house!?!? thats nice.. I wanna go too...

me: come on over people~!

this morning, "she" mailed me... confirming that shes coming.. WOOTS~!!

and thus... my surprise for people in brunei... not only i'll be bringing Japanese Sake, Japanese beer, Japanese sweets, Japanese curry.. I'll be bringing a Japanese friend along~!

I can't wait...

out with the old...

in with the new...

I bought myself a new camera... I wanted something not too embarassing to carry around, something "me"... something slim (TRAVEL size... for I shall be doing a lot of that.. heh)

so.. i bought the marvelous, the beautiful, the ever so hawt.. the FANTABULOUS...

Fujifilm Finepix Z5fd..

what colour? HOT PINK of course...

and also in addition to that, i bought the casing, matching colour.. HOT PINK...






....
of course you all know that i bought this because it was HOTTTT... its freakking pink... nothing can beat that yo~! not to mention, it matches my ipod, which coincidentally is black... with a HOT PINK casing.. HAHAHAHA
ahh... camera manufacturers are getting smart these days, they know that they need to capture female customers... especially easy bait like me..... Fortunately for me, there werent much "pink" cameras. There was the sony and the fujifilm and a few others.. maybe around 5 pinks cameras... and and only one HOT pink.. (the rest were baby pink)so obviously we have a winner... (in my opinion, baby pink is soooo last century... hot pink baby)
and what made it even more FANTABULOUS was that, it was DIGITAL SALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in yodobashi camera (huge electronics chain department store) the usual price of the unit item would have been 34800yen..
but then because of the sale....
512mb (not enough but hey its the package)
camera
ugly travel pouch for camera
warranty
altogether 29000yen!!!
cant get any better than this, but then again, I didnt even survey outside the shop, maybe if I went out of the department store, and went to the streets of Akiba, I could have gotten a lower price.... BUT still I wouldnt collect points!!! Im happy~!
Its time to CAMERAWHORE!!!
loves aplc
ps: 14 days left before i go back to Brunei...

ok update from me....

hmmm currently bumming my ass off, ahh its a good life if i wasnt swarmed with all these funny expensive bills. i swear winter is the worst season for bills because the more u stay indoors the more expensive everything gets. did i mention that the weather suddenly morph from mild to damn cold? there was a cool day tho where melbourne was covered in a fog hehe u cant see anything thats 3 metres infront of u.something like being on a mountain.

yeah so it was the end of the semester for my faculty so there was alot....i mean alot of partying for me... hahaha i was at my friend's place like all the time (man y do i sound like a bimbo in this) playing guitar hero and cooking and eating and painting. its sooo different having friends who are also good in art. ermm then there was the clubbing... same old same old and then there was a night where i went out with my ozzie friends.

she brought me to a really cool vegie bar called soul mama and it felt like i was eating on kampong ayer coz its at the beach. we then traveled to brunswick st to go dancing. brunswick st is where alot of artistic things happen and is really famous, shoping is damn cheap there n unique. they did a very bruneian thing and drank at an alleyway becuase they dun wanna buy drinks at the club. the club turns out to be this jazz/ soul live band thing.. so cool! i learnt how to salsa by one of my friend's friend. yeah was a good night considering i was still blur from the previous clubbing night

WAH CHIBAI!!!! this just in!!! got shootings in melbourne! the arm shooter is still running around the city!! chibai man! damn scary. he shoot 6 ppl and one is death... damn scary lah... n like william is in the city playing game... so stupid, shud come back home... yeah thats all from me

ask....

... and if you are lucky, sometimes you shall receive...


nothing particular to report from my side, so i shall tell you guys my new lifestyle...

My one month plus staying and truly experiencing a Japanese University life has been hard. Now i understand why all the foreign seniors have been advicing us to try to make friends, join a eca club, dont give up hope.. and all the cheering.. Last year, i never understood why all that was necessary.


I GET IT NOW...


It would have been normal if I was a Japanese girl. or even better a Foreign male. Yes, foreign female students have hell to suffer if you are in Japan. Before coming to Japan, girlfriends cheer on.. GO adeline go! Hot japanese boys! you'll get a boyfriend for sure! they'll love you.. you have more than the average Japanese female.. -_-"" truth be told, i was happy, i was expecting to be famous, miss popular.. HAHA i mean like men no matter what are all the same.. they like bootylicious...

TRUE, but not quite...

here i am entering my second year in Japan, status: still single...

things to learn about Japan in a foreigner's viewpoint.

1)Japanese boys are stupid

- they are too scared to communicate with foreigner girls. They are shy. there goes plan flirtation, seduction and fooling around

2)Japanese girls are like wolves

- they love foreigner boys, when a new batch of foreign students come in, they attack! they waste no time.

3)Being a foreigner girl sucks in Japan

- it is obvious to conclude from the above two points, that being a foreign female, the Japanese male population shy away from you, the rest of the foreign male population gets swallowed by the Japanese girls. It feels like a bargain sale and the girls are grabbing t-shirts...


but its okay, looking for love aside, what about making friends with Japanese...

sighhhhhh.. the only way to make friends in a Japanese university is to go all the after parties. I missed the first two, and after that i go to my freshman class and i see them all in their own social groups already.. and me? sitting alone by myself... The worst has yet to come my friends.. oh no...

In a Japanese classroom, there is gender separation.. spreadeagled like the Red Sea. one whole side for the boys, and the other side for the girls, and there is no one sitting in the centre of the class.. sigh... its not like its set that way, but no one dares to "cross-over" sheesh... I ask my classmates why does this phenomenon occur? they say.. saaa.. nande darou? maybe because of they dont want people to assume that we are together if we sit together theory.. *rolls eyes*

The other night, i went to my first drinking session with my newly found friends (Japanese girls) I asked them if they all were single, NOT! two of them are having a 2yr relationship with their bfs, one of them got the guy she has been crushing on from the first after-party, and the other girl is working on her crush.. Im like.. HOLYYYYYYY.. WHAT THE~??!?!?! please share your wisdom with me sensei~~~

and they turn to me,
what you dont have a boyfriend?!?! "kareshi inai no? uso~!"

no, i dont... and

then they say "nihonjin de ii?" (do you mind Japanese guys?)...

im like sigh.. how am i supposed to catch a guy if theres the gap and then we have to add the fact that im a foreigner thus they shy away from me? sighhhh...

they went: "you have to be quick, do you like anyone in our class? ~kun and ~kun are single and the rest have gfs already" I'm like EH?! so fast?!?! no wait.. how do you all know all this!? eh!?"

and then i asked the girl who recently got her man.. HOW THE HELL DID YOU ACCOMPLISH IT??!

she went:

after the first after-party, i got drunk... i pretended not to know how to go back, i pretended to forget my password to the room, and slept over his place...

me:

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!?!??!?! *早ッ* (fast)

CRAZY!!! these people are crazy! they dont waste time on seduction, romance and flirtation. just get drunk. WOW.. but thats no fun.. getting a lovelife is all about romance and the game! the hell!?!?! while this was happening, the girl who got her man fast proceeded to help the girl who was working on getting her man, she called him over and asked him to help the poor drunk girl.. hoping that they will hit it off... HAHAHA (nothing happened btw)

oh well.. after that drinking session with my friends, the girls obviously got drunk, ahhaah I LOVE DRUNK JAPANESE girls... boys--> have yet to see... the drunk girls hugged me like hugging has been in their culture since the old days, and screamed アデリン好き!(aderin suki!-I like Adeline) I laughed at them and patted their heads.. (they are so short) I like you guys too!! ahhahaha

and me and another girlfriend proceeded to my place, she needed to use my shower (dorms for foreign students have toilets attached to their rooms... Japanese dorms dont... the Japanese students use the common bath which closes at 10pm.. it was already 12pm) lol... she ended sleeping over my place.. man... if i were a guy.. i would have been rejoicing in my heart.. hahaha but then again this girl already had a boyfriend. and im straight.. but none-theless, i managed to have a sleepover with a Japanese girl.. too cool yo! and ever since this drinking sessions, i think ill be able to have friends. Goodbye to the days of sitting by myself in class...


thats all for today..
