Brunei is too small...

with an area of 5765sq km.... a teeny wee bit bigger than Singapore.. and yet... ITS TOOO SMALL!!!!!

sigh.. i have to take it from the top...

when i was in brunei, I knew 2 bruneians in Japan, one was Jason (his mom and my mom are friends) the other was Najee (my senior in MD in the Literature Department)

Both Jason and Najee were based in Osaka, and thats all that matters to me.. I was after all first based in Osaka...

That was alright, I mean, yeay Bruneian connections is JAPAN!!.. whilst in Osaka, I bonded with Naj. I soon found out that her bestfriend's boyfriend was Sasa's classmate... (whats his name again... ahhh... became House captain of Danson house last time... same time with her ka? I forgot eh..)

Brunei is too small...

While still based in Osaka, I met another senior studying in Kyoto. Azman... he came up to me after hearing my name.. and asked me "hows the restaurant business? do you guys still own the porsche?" I was like.. "EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!" how did you know that?!?!?! He told me that he was my brother's classmate before... He used to come over to the house.. he even knows where I live...

Brunei is too small...

Last year, during Golden Week, I went to Tokyo for the first time... I met the Tokyo-ite Bruneians. I met Rahman.. (the guy who saved me during my Akihabara pinch) He also knows my family... Why?! Because he lives in the same kampung as I do... Our parents would know each other...

Brunei is too small...

This year, when I thought I was the only Bruneian in Tsukuba University, another Bruneian came, her name's Foo Chuan Eng. After talking with her and stuff... bonding and then she asked me... "did you use to take Korean classes in UBD?" im like yesss... why? Do you know my sister? she used to take Korean classes with you too... her name is Ching.. I'm like WTF????!!! thats sooo true!!!! I KNOW BECAUSE I sat beside her.. (due to my childish-ness, thinking.. we have the ching name.. lets stay together!! mind set.. heheh).. so yeah my junior's sister and I went to Korean class in UBD...

Brunei is too small...

Before this post, I met a girl from Chile, another foreign student (The only foreign student from the 1st years that i havent met... that last foreign student) and she told me she met a Japanese girl in her department (Art and Design Dept) who has been living in Brunei all her life.. looking for another Bruneian out there in Tsukuba... Of course I was estastic.. man.. Japanese-Bruneian.. too cool!!!! I have been mailing her like when to meet, due to our hectic (more on her side) schedules, we couldnt meet up.. until~~~ this afternoon... I of course had so many questions.. beginning with.. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN BRUNEI?!?!? hahaha and where did you study? well she answered my second question without saying anything.. first thing she did when she saw me.. HUG.. ahhh.. definitely ISB-an.. ahhahahahaha and then she told me about herself.. we talked about for an hour.. it feels so nice to be able to speak to a Japanese person in English.. and not feel worried about my English being too fast or too difficult.. hahahaha and then she told me she knew Serene and Woei Chian.. played volleyball with them... And i was like.. really??!?!?!? man.. thats sooo coooool.. we best friends yo!! and yeah.. she told me how much she missed Brunei.. and Im like wha~?!?!?! she misses her amah..(HAHAHAH) and Im like i know that feeling sooooooooooo well... and then how she misses the Mall.. im like hai???????? but it was SOOOOOOOOO cool how i met someone in Tsukuba who is practically Bruneian.. hahahahaha and then she told me her ex-bf was Kim Wee.. and Im like OH MY GOD!!!! I know him.. he was my sec1-3 classmate.. more like lab partners!!! and then we laughed.. looked at each other with disbelief.. and said at the same time...

Brunei is too small...


and thus i conclude this post with

BRUNEI IS TOOOOOOO FREAKKING SMALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

A cup of pee anyone?

A cup of pee anyone?

HAHA..yesterday i had my experimental physiology prac and we had to pee in cups!well containers...like u noe the ones where they put cookies into and sell during chinese new year?...yea but not quite as transparent...haha..ok so in each group there are 6 subjects...

subject 1- Control - doesnt get any waterload
subject 2- Waterload- 8mls times body weight in kg
subject 3- Waterload and ADH(by NASAL spray! eew)- 8 mls times body weight in kg
subject 4- Waterload and exercise- 8 mls times body weight in kg
subject 5- Isotonic saline and glucose( so its SALTY SUGAR WATER!)- 8 mls times body weight in kg
subject 6- 1ml VODKA and 7mls waterload- 8mls times body weight in kg

FUN NO?....then at like every interval of like 30 mins we had to go to the toilet and pee in these containers they gave us..and like analyse sodium content and osmolarity...haha...was quite a mindless prac really...

Pee..measure...dilute...analyse....repeat cycle...i was the control(luckily) so i dint have to do anything but label the sample cups n all..haha...interesting prac if u ask me..so we peed 4 times man =_=..one before the waterload...then 3 times after that...haha...time went by really quick...

At the end all the pee gets chucked down the sink..and we were asked to flush it down with PLENTY of water...heh...some ppl couldnt pee on demand hahahaha...so..no sample...

hehe no pictures of pee in cups (cos number one, thts gross and number two, i dint bring my camera =))

OMFG! Kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

WATCH THIS! IT'S SUPER CUTE! THE VOICE ACTRESS FOR PIKACHU! PIKACHUUUUUUUU PIKA PIKAAAA... *FAINTS*

KARE RAISU

it's super easy to make, i just follow the instructions on the Japanese curry pack.. and it's in English! it's for six servings.... so it's quite a lot... just keep the remaining in the fridge... and eat them again tomorrow..lol oz probably have more types of Japanese curry... Brunei only have 1 type..so yeah... and my mum threw the pack away...and i don't remember the brand of the curry and how the curry pack looks like.............................

RECIPE :
1. Stir fry cuts of beef/chicken/lamb/whatever meat and onions(the big ones).. with oil or butter... until the onions turn a bit golden-brown...u can add whatever ingredients u want as well..like potato, carrot....etc etc
2. Then put in about 3 cups of water.... and then cook for about 15 mins
3. Cut the curry cube into smaller pieces and put them in, and then stir non-stop for around 5 mins so that curry pieces wont stuck to the bottom of the pot.....

looking at the pic makes me drool... hungry hungry!! i will probably make again... since i still have the one more curry cube...

sore ja~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Food!

Ten bucks to whoever can guess what this is(i wont really give it to u but it'll be fun to guess anyway yes?)


And on a less gross note..pictures of dinner that we cooked on sunday nite at pastors house while pastor was away...thanks Matt, Rach n Nathan for having us over!..was fun as!

Golden Week

...is the longest period of holiday in Japan excluding the season holidays (summer/spring/autumn/winter). It usually has a span over a week thus the name "GOLDEN WEEK".

Needless to say, i spent half of it in Tokyo. First night in Tokyo, I met up with a few friends, had dinner in Shibuya. "TGI's". Shibuya is the place where the infamous story of Hachiko the dog took place. Even meeting up with the friends at Hachiko was confusing because they didnt know that the place was called Hachiko Koen(Hachiko Park) because of the dog. We were supposed to meet by the statue itself but then there were many dog statues and stuff.. they didnt know which one.. but then again there is only ONE official Hachiko statue. sigh.. but then again we all had mobile phones.. not that difficult to swim through crowds, and if you are thinking, we are a bunch of foreigners how hard can it be? WRONG!!! the place is usually crowded with foreigners anyway...

In Tokyo, I bunked over my friends place, which is kinda "strict" being an all girls dorm.. but then again, last time I checked I'm a girl too... They have a curfew, no bringing friends to bunk over. I sneaked in several times but the second night I was busted.. so it was the last night at her place for me. Damn. I have 2 more nights in Tokyo and I'm already HOMELESS!!!! but then I received a mail from a friend asking if I wanna club tomorrow.. I'm like there goes one night.. Now all I need is a place to stay for one night. Invited another girlfriend over to club and decided to bunk at her place! PERFECT!!!

Now to the main story, CLUBBING!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT.. although the journey towards the club was kinda sleazy. We got the map on my mobile and it was not helpful AT ALL!!! ended up walking quite a distance than promised. (10 mins from the station) Not only that we had gone through many dark alleys with bouncers and men selling their "merchandise" behind their windows and rooms (catch my drift?) PLUS i was wearing my newly bought HEELS.. which are completely adorable I TELL YOU!!! i feel so japanese... THUS IT HURT!!! and I havent started dancing yet..

when we got there.. it was kinda disappointing at first because, it was just starting, not a lot of people and then the drinks were expensive.. My guy friend was like.. WHAT? you dont buy your own drinks... get guys to buy you drinks.. and then it DAWNED upon us.. WHY NOT? hehehe..

5am. Saturday. My girlfriend was drunk, me and the guys were sober, not saying that we didnt get any action done that night.. heh

Later that night, my friend mailed me again: "Wanna go clubbing tonight?". Both of us were like "ARGHHHHH" I wanted to go but I didnt have anymore clubbing clothes and not to mention that I was running low on cash. SO TEMPTED>>>> Why do you do this to me?!?!?! But in the end, we all decided to postphone it to this week. YEAH

Sunday. I need to get back home. Which means Akihabara!!! I was kinda screwed because I only had 1000yen left in me.. and that is not enough to get back. (To get back, I need 2000yen) But i was not worried after all I was supposed to meet another fellow Bruneian and my best friend in Akihabara later that day. BUT!!! of course SHIT HAPPENS..

firstly, I left the dorm late because I woke up late and the dorm was FAR from Akihabara, took me an hour to get to Akiba. And then my Bruneian friend told me that he had something to do back at his place.. so cant meet me.. but its okay.. because I made him wait for quite a bit.. so its my fault.. GOMENASAI!! and then so there I was in YODOBASHI CAMERA.. looking around for a new mp3 player. I was wondering around sony or ipod. SONY or IPOD?!?! i decided to get the SONY because it was cheaper. But then the lady told me.. it can only be used with a JAPANESE OS system.. fuck it... so Im back to the IPOD... and then while trying to decide which one should I get.. the shuffle, the new mini, the video. I wanted to take something portable, so I can jog with it.. shuffle looks good... but 14000yen for 1gb seems like a waste. and then i shifted to the MINI.. i wanted big memory space because I wanted to put at least all my songs in it.. so it has to be more than 4gb... I saw the 8gb mini ipod.. wow.. Okay that'll do i guess.. Can i have that in the pink please? WHAT do you mean that it only comes in BLACK!?!?! fuck.. then i get confused again... because the price of the 8gb ipod was only 2000yen difference from the Video IPOD 30gb... i mean like just another 2000yen you get 22gb and the ability to watch videos.. but then that crashes with the whole portability idea... and then the 60gb was just 10000yen difference.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what do i get?!?!? the 8gb or the 60gb?? IM SO CONFUSED?!?!?!?
In the end, Im not going to watch videos on trains that much SO i decided on the black 8gb mini IPOD.

haaa... that took a lot of decision making.. and then i called for the man to take my order.. and then he asked me whether i have internet connection. Im like not for the moment.. and he is like you need internet to access itunes.. and im like but i have itunes.. hes like itunes 7... I DONT REMEMBER my itunes version... DAMMIT..

BUYING AN MP3 PLAYER IS SOOOOO HARD!!!!

in the end I told him ill deal with it some how.. so I got it.. the black ipod.. and now.. the accessories.. ARGHHHH... more headaches... i need an arm band for jogging and I need a pretty cover... it took such a while because there are two types of mini ipods, the ver2 and the old model.. so yeah.. MANNNNNNNNNN... so complicated.. and when i reached the counter.. i took out my credit card.. and the lady slided the card over the machine several times and gave a troubled look on her face.. i had horrible flashbacks.. (during winter holidays... i tried to get an ipod video but i maxed my credit card...) SHIT>> its the beginning of the month.. I cant have maxed my card already?!?!?! but then she successfully got it done after several tired.. thank the lord!!!

right.. so there i was with my brand new ipod.. yahoo!

that still doesnt solve the problem that i have 1000yen left.. oh wait i kinda used that up too.. i went to a cafe to drink and wait for my bestfriend to come meet me.. so yeah.. bye bye 1000yen... i thought of borrowing money from her to get back to Tsukuba. but then she ALSO doesnt have money. why you ask? (Golden Week the Post Office banks are closed.. not even the ATM machines are open.. we get our monthly scholarship from the Post Office Bank) I personally thought that it was a normal Sunday.. thus we could get some money out.. BUT it wasnt a normal Sunday.. IT was CHILDRENS DAY... i thought that if it was a holiday, it would get pushed on to Monday.. but no.. not the Brunei system.. sigh...

then we realise that we have a different bank account. YES and that one works!!! but.. i checked my wallet... I DIDNT BRING THE CARD!! why?? (because i thought it would control my spending) well.. that sure did come in handy.. and my friend doesnt bring her card either because she uses the passbook.. we tried different ATMs with her passbook but they obviously didnt work. and she offered to go to a different station to withdraw money for me.. so there I was bumming in Akibas streets with 200yen.. sigh (enough for a McDonalds chicken burger and cola.. but Im not going to waste my last 200yen on food) I tried to look for Private bank ATMS which do work by the way.. and since I still have my HSBC and Baiduri cards.. and they are APLUS.. that means i can withdraw money overseas.. but the ATMS dont recognise APLUS... FUCK IT...

lastly, I sms-ed all my bruneian friends in tokyo, wondering if they can help me... my kouhai in Tsukuba was offering to come all the way to Akiba to pick me up.. but I couldnt do that to her.. its far and expensive.. no.. that wont do...

and then the others offered their help.. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THAT by the way... they came to Akihabara lent money to me so I can go back home safely.. sigh.. a long warm bubble bath was definitely in need of the moment...

and thus the end of my adventures and MIS-adventures in Tokyo during GOLDEN WEEK

AGLOCO

join AGLOCO to earn money!!my referal link: http://www.agloco.com/r/BBDC1603

lol, i read about it from that xiaxue's blog and since she's a super popular blogger so she doesnt really bullshit about stuffs, so i decided to give it a go and signed up for it since it doesnt cost a cent anyway... so to those who read our blog, sign up! it's free, easy to sign up, spyware-free, spam-free, etc etc...

as to how u earn money, read this, i copied some from the agloco website:
________
What is AGLOCO all about?
AGLOCO is the first Internet based economic network, which enables you as a Member to ‘Get your share of the internet.’ Advertisers, search companies, online merchants and other businesses currently pay lots of companies to deliver people like you to them to get your attention and sell goods. With AGLOCO they will be paying YOU.
AGLOCO is also a global community of Internet users whose active Members can be paid for all their online activity. By downloading our proprietary Viewbar technology, members benefit from engaging yet unobtrusive content tailored to their interests. AGLOCO also pays its members to refer their friends to the community (and for those friends to refer more friends through four levels of extended referrals.)

How do I earn cash and shares?
Sign up, use the web as usual and earn cash and shares - it really is that simple. Once you install the Viewbar™ software it automatically records the time you're actively online, and we pay you for it. But the first step is to sign up and become a member. It's fast and it's free. If you refer your friends and family we'll pay you even more cash and shares.

How do referrals work?
AGLOCO™ pays you an hourly rate when the friends and family you recruit (called “direct referrals”) use the web with the Viewbar™ running, as well as for people your referrals recruit (called “extended referrals”). Extended referrals continue for four levels past your original referral, and there is no limit to the number of referrals you can accumulate.

AGLOCO Members make money in four ways.

• Members earn a monthly share of the AGLOCO revenue based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month.
• Members earn part of the company based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month (currently a maximum of five hours are rewarded).
• Members who use our referral system to help build the AGLOCO network will earn more. (AGLOCO only has significant value as a large network and people who help build it should be rewarded. – We also feel that the early users who told friends about YouTube or MySpace or even Google probably deserved something too, but no referral system was available to record their work).
• Members will also get a share of any commissions AGLOCO gets when a Member purchases a product or service from an AGLOCO Sponsor company.

_________


it's that easy right? ask more people to sign up by using ur own referal link and then u will earn more... and that Viewbar thing u read, it's still in beta testing so it's not out for download yet! but once it's out and u download it into ur browser, u get PAID just by surfing the internet... awesome, no? if u're interested in making money through the internet or maybe kasian me wanna help me (LOL) then sign up using this link: http://www.agloco.com/r/BBDC1603

My Current Obsession.. THE PUSSY CAT DOLLS...

they are soo sexy... i wanna be just like them.. hahaha I'm such a kid... eitherways i finally learnt how to put videos.. I'm so happy... hahaha

since you talked about clubbing

i actually had another fancy english essay coming up but then serene brought up clubbing.. and I JUST HAD TO skip that and do "on the spot blogging" meaning no fancy english

right.. Saturday night, me and the girls decided to meet in ROPPONGI HILLS... the.. i mean THE place to go for clubbing and bars... right.. Loiuse hailing all the way from Chiba, me hailing all the way from Tsukuba, Susan.. not really hailing.. but yeah came from Hitotsubashi...

we met at Shibuya at 12am, headed to an English bar to drink. Unfortunately it wasnt an all nighter bar where can drink till later... but yeah we had to leave by 2am. And then make our way to Roppongi Hills to club..

Loiuse brought a LOT of foreign friends with her (older.. much older) but in my opinion a lot more immature.. damn.. and it was just me and susan and loiuse bonding.. and the rest bonding themselves.

Right, we entered a club, found out we had to pay 3000yen to enter.. stood a while.. debated to go or not to go... fine.. its a once in alifetime(not too sure about that though) experience.. got there.. ID check.. i was 20 im fine i can go.. loiuse and susan on the other hand, are underage! 19!! and didnt bring their fake ids... oopss... (underage in japan is 20 below... sucks being here)

most of the other group entered already and were not allowed to back out.. so yeah left the five of us.. so we went around Roppongi because yeah its a place for clubbing, some of them dont check IDs... we went into one, and it was FUCKKIING crowded.. probably because it was free anyways.. so yeah.. were couldnt really dance because.. there was no space to dance... and then this BITCH of a "#%$&%($%"#&$%' WHORE.. complained to us that we were taking up her "dancing space" WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK bitch!you and I sure as hell didnt pay to enter here and here you are complaining about "my space?!??!?!?" pissed me off.. and the mood was ruined.. so we left.. in search of another club..

we went to another club, we had to pay 1000yen to get a drink and enter, it was alright BUT the music was not dancable and most of the people were sitting down bumming.. so I7m like if I wanted to bum around, I'd sit outside get myself a drink from the machine and bum on the streets...

left that club, finally decided that there is no club that is cheap which does not check your IDs.. so we retired into a brazillian bar... there the owner of the bar entertained us with his far-fetched stories about how he graduated from the Brazil Uni in medicine and blablabla ..(BULLSHIT!!!) and there a drunk lesbian(?) tried to invite us girls over to dance with her.. we carefully turned her offer down..

530am... trains are working again, separated ways.. back to HOME.. ooohh sweet bed...(not really cos i was bunking at my friend's place)

oh i forgot to mention, for my first time in Roppongi, i got to see everything in full blast. I saw two fights, policemen, lesbians, gays(in the place where the bitch was complaining about her space... he was wearing heels!!!!), policemen, the dancebar filled with girls... and oh yeah.. in Roppongi, I bet its the only place in Japan where you dont feel like its Japan.. I felt like i was in America.. so many foreigners.. many people.. all sorts of people.. but Japanese.. well. we had splashes of Japanese people but yeah.. most of them were yakuzas and hookers so.. yeah thats cool too... hahahah eitherways (the seniors say that you hardly see so much action in Roppongi like that)

so there i was disappointed with all this.. (did i mention that i went all the way for this night? make-up on! hot clothes on!) and to top it all off, i had to see so many lovers making out all over the place, on the way to shibuya... walking in the train stations and there are lovers glued to each other on each pole? bar? (shit what do you call that?) wallpost? whatever it is.. yeah kissing cuddling the like.. hell i dont wanna know what else they did but yeah freakking annoy me.. (partially because im jealous) but also partially i was trying to read the movie schedule on the wll that they were making out in front of.. but yeah.. they didnt have the courtesy to move away or blush and find a room... so yeah... there i was trying to see what time does "one piece the movie8" showing.. BASTARDS! what are love hotels too expensive these days?! couldnt book a room? aint got time to go in to one? you need to take her now there and then?!?! huh huh?!?! sheesh.. Japanese these days.. what happened to their covert culture? what happened to oh hazukashiii!!! iyadaaa iyarashiii!! *translation: oh how embarassing! no wayyy you are so perverted!!!*

apart from anger disappointment and hate.. i saw avril lavigne's new(?) song.. is it just me or she becoming more pop and PINK?!?!? oh my god.. i might just buy her album! GASP!!!

hey yal!

i've decided to dedicate a day in a week to update myself on blog whether it be with the little chat room or a post. ah cut the crap with the formal english, gah! i'm so smothered with aussie english, ermm which i cant really talk bad about coz i hav this aussie friend sitting nxt to me. anyways! i miss my malaysian food man! really!!! i miss that oil and the infinite supply of water which u can waste without feeling guilty coz hey, we dont want floods to happen rite? man! the drought here is like the bringer of depressiveness or some poopoo(i'm doin this censoring for you bell, i miss u honey! *mauhz*) yeah the local fruits and veg prices are gonna sky rocket becoz they are goin to restrrict water irrigations from the farms. crazy humans with their excessive use of energy! have to use less water n gah! poor planet earth!

so yeah update on my life... things with William is improving, we thoroughly cleaned up the apartment and its ...weird. i'm not use to living in a such a tidy tidy place where you always hav to put everything in place and like when i accidentally do it ( coz i'm lazy) william actually nags abt it. TALK ABT A SWITCH IN ROLES! i'm getting dominanted! and its NICE hehehehehehhe. my cooking skills has improved and so has my efficiency in washing dishes and piano playing but most importantly SO HAS MY SOCIAL LIFE! THANK YOU GOD! you noe that phrase where like for every door that closes many other doors open. yeah i got invited to clubbing with a unimate and although it was not the funnest night of my life it was quite interesting coz u noe y??? my friend's friend brought underage peeps who didnt have fake ID! like wat the hell, i mean even if you are oozing with sex appeal they are still gonna check or id coz if u so happen to take some drug in their club n find out that ure underage, its a big lawsuit agaisnt them

so yeah that nite we spent the whole time walking to find a bar that doesnt check id... hmmm.... yeah. so in the end my friend had to lie her way out to go home. went to this awesome poetry reading coz not only was the poety interesting, i got to drink with my unimates! a first for me! so anyways i gtg now, i'll update soon n here are some vanity pics hehehe

Greetings to all…

I know its been a while since I blogged.. What with all the moving and shit.. man.. And I really mean SHIT.. hahah where do I begin.. ah yes…

It was a yet another busy morning for normal Japanese throughout the nation.. Getting up early, getting ready for work… as usual.. for some of us up in Osaka Gaidai, it was the last morning that we would ever get out of the single bed, fumble through the small room that we had successfully (or not) made our home for one whole year… Goodbye room… *sniff*

Just like many other salaryman across the country, some of us had spent the night away drinking till dawn. Not so much of drinking on my part because there weren’t people drinking along with me, hence raining on my day (night?) Otherwise it would have been another ordinary reminiscing session with the pals. I retired early (4am), sober and sleepy. Others stayed on, and what happened to them next became a tale to tell the very next morning. (A tale which I believe should be added in Aesop’s Fables just to remind children these days NOT to mix all the left over alcohol and drink till 8 in the morning when you are moving out at 9am) *ahem*

And so heartfelt goodbyes were said, mostly feeling sad that we are parting, but then again some were undeniably feeling “THANK GOD I wont be seeing you again!” Either ways, I left for Umeda to get my hair done (again! –I did a second digital perming and then a treatment the following week and then this time a trimming because I was having split ends *the horror!*) There I parted with my friends and met up with my now Uni-pals… we sat uncomfortably on the night bus to Tokyo. Sayonara Kansai.

The morning we reached Tokyo Eki, we split into two groups a guy friend going to his senpais in Odaiba, while I head to my Embassy where I shall hole up for 2 nights, bringing along with me my friend who has never been to Tokyo. It’s funny that when you are in Osaka, you cant help but feel unsatisfied with it… wishing that somehow you are in Tokyo. And now that you are finally here, you feel an emptiness within you. Ahh… the complexity of human nature. Right, moving along. 1st of April, we took the ever so famed Tsukuba Express from Akihabara to Tsukuba. With a speedy time record of 45 minutes, we can get to our University. A far cry from the speed of light, I must say. Price one way? 1150yen. Yes, a bit on the price-y side. Thus dooming me and the rest of the foreign students on a budget. I believe it all to be a conspiracy really. Leaving Tsukuba University in the middle of no where, cut off from the kinks of Tokyo Metropolis, and with the overly staked price of the train ticket, thus leading to the high suicide rate in this University. Sometimes I wonder to myself; Why am I here? Then I recollect that I am after all a University student, with an objective to study learn analyse Japanese Literature. Yes I am hungry for knowledge; I seek the light; I want to learn. I am a sponge. I wish to absorb all I can from the books, scrolls, wheezing old professors. I am NOT here to have fun karaoke-ing nor am I here to club, not to analyse the male population and eliminate each one of them off my list to find my one true life-mate and copulate to further increase my country’s population. However, the urge to do so is painfully high. Why oh why are hormones being mean to me?

Besides my non-sensical conspiracy theory, I arrived Tsukuba rather safe and sound. But of course after dragging a burdensome weight of a hand-carry (although I was advised to carry something light, somehow things got out of control… then again this is me we are talking about), we are disheartened, discouraged and LOST!!! We came to Tsukuba prepared for rice-fields and a lovely campus. Well we were most definitely wrong in the later expectation. It was without a doubt; a LARGE campus, lovely when skimming through the surface of the University. Once reaching to the Student Residence, we were greeted with the warm welcome of used cardboard boxes piled a mountain high; left and right, old and worn out home appliances looking like they had World War Two all over again; a-strewn on the pathways, not forgetting to mention the daily disposals of students still living in the dorms. And to top it off, Sakura petals were falling on top of the left overs of the war like rainbow sprinkles on your favourite Baskin Robbins ice-cream. Lovely.

Aimlessly, we dragged ourselves over to our designated buildings, only to find out that we needed to go to the office to get documents signed and also get the key. Which we did not know, due to the lack of reading on our part. Upon reaching the office, we were greeted by the office door sign saying “LUNCH HOUR – back at 12pm” The time at that time was 11.20am.. ARGHHHHH!!!

Right, fast forward to the part where I actually GET to my room. I open my room door NOT expecting a portal leading to another world in which I have to explore vast lands to save that realm from complete destruction and in my journey I will find companions, fall in love and also face many trials; many difficult choices to make; sacrifices to consider; mistakes to make and regret later on and so on. No I am a sophisticated, independent young lady. I do not believe in fantasy realms (oh if only they exist~) I was expecting an old room to accommodate me for one year. I was not expecting a 5 star hotel room, not my room back home. No, I was humble. One cannot expect much from a dormitory.

But! Even with my low expectations were shocked with a new LOW!!! The room was spacious - that’s forgivable. But the amount of dirt that had accumulated was just beyond imagination. It simply was not my day. I cannot even begin to explain how dirty – no dirty is too much a modest word for it… CONTAMINATED-TARNISHED-UNSANITARY-UNHYGIENIC- not fit for human living. Okay maybe that was too much, it was simply SHOCKING. I didn’t know where to begin cleaning. Standing in the middle of the room for a bit and I felt DIRTY. But unbeknownst to me, a dark matter was waiting to welcome me in my attached toilet (yes I have my own toilet now). And it was only later did I find out that the last tenant was probably too much in a rush to flush after herself/himself before leaving me the premises. And probably was an algae-researcher otherwise I cannot explain why on earth the toilet was growing algae/moss left right up and down. It took me two days to properly sanitize the place. Now as I am typing this terribly long blog, I look around my comfortable home-y room, and go ahhh… we have come a long way together. Thank God for small miracles.

Now that I have told you all the tale of Adeline moving to Tsukuba, I do not know where else shall I proceed to… The disappointments University life has shown me? My classes? Groups that I plan on joining?

Maybe again next time. But for now I must bid you all a goodnight; for I have a very important meeting tomorrow morning.

Tra-la~

Adeline

卒業

-graduation-

i have officially graduated from Osaka University of Foreign Studies... safely.. HAHAHA

and i'm going to have to move to 茨城県 Ibaraki-ken by the 30th of March.. to my new University 筑波大学... for those who didnt pay attention to where it is its in 関東-near 秋葉原
woots

my friend Patricia and I organised a graduation party... very similar to the "proms" we had brunei.. except without the fancy buffet, we had MCDONALDS burgers.. plus beer and chips and non-alcohol drinks for the non alcoholic... it was nice.. we had a microphone, a little alcove like place where people could sit.. and it was real romantic because i tried my scarf over the yellow lamp and that section became a seductive red colour.. so basically it became the making out section.. yeah in the end that section became a stand up free show for all to see... I am convinced that one of them actually went all the way on the couches...

it was a night of seduction and playing games.. ahhahaha man i like partying.. im going to miss this once i leave for Tsukuba University.. i shall post pictures of the graduation ceremony..

later...

PARTIES

well the exams are finally over for me.. well it had been over for the rest of the people who successfully passed all their exams.. needless to say i didnt pass my economics and politics paper.. BY A FEW MARKS.. how freakking annoying is that?!?!?!? i had to retake it on monday, whereas everyone partied on friday.. not saying that i didnt party too.. heh heh

right.. FRIDAY night, me and the girls planned to have DRINK to get DRUNK party... everyone bring a bottle of liquor and perhaps snacks.. location: girl friend's room

aplc: a bottle of jack daniel's whiskey - strawberries and cream
susan: a bottle of gin - chocolate mousse
louise: a bottle of vodka - sausages and cheese
christina: umeshu - pizza
dora: tequila - sandwiches

yessss... take a look at the food list and shake your head... not very good drinking food.. the party started at 10-1030pm? we got pissed drunk by 1130pm

HAHAHAHA

everyone drank a tequila shot, and then crazy mixes.. pure vodka and jack daniels, pre everything.. it was NASTY!!! but hey we reached our objective.. man... we made videos of ourselves, doing stooopid things..

i know that louise accidentally spilled vodka into the whipped cream and everyone had to eat it.. and you can imagine the pornographic scenes with 5 drunk girls struggling to swallow whip cream.. and some failing.. therefore the cream all over the lips.. HAHAHAHAHA so pornographic.. i love whipped cream.. HAHAHAHAHAHA but vodka whipped cream tasted HORRIBLE... i fell into a little gap in doras room and spilt orange juice... yeah.. couldnt do much after that... but before that, louise was trying to convince all that she was NOT drunk, okay maybe a BIT drunk... screaming that she can do the 4 and the 8.. she demonstrated that to us.. christina demonstrated the romanian version of the 8.. which was standing against the wall.. and drawing a figure eight with your booty.. was very hot...

the only ones who were completely wasted that night was me and louise.. susan and christina were tipsy.. dora was taking care of us? hahaha louise puked in the toilet.. i couldnt walk back to my room which was just the opposite side of the hallway.. hahhaha i puked abit.. lol... louise slept and the girls took me for a walk.. and then after that, SLEPT like a baby.. hahaha next morning to my surprise i didnt have any hangover.. i woke up at 6am.. found a disgusting puddle of puke in the toilet and went whose was that?!?!? i definitely didnt do that.. why? because i remembered myself aiming in the toilet bowl.. HAHAH so when we all woke up we were all denying ownership of the puke... and so lays the mystery...

SATURDAY night, another party.. supposedly a bigger party, we had this in the dormitory's common room.. problem, no one was well informed.. it turned out to be the same drinking circle the male counterparts.. it became a drinking-shisha-a bit of dancing-lots of flirting party.. so yeah.. i smoked, flirted, learnt the salsa, went for another walk, drank a shit load and took care of friends who puked.. it wasnt that much of a party.. but i got semi-drunk.. it was alright.. hahah

in conclusion, i like getting drunk... well maybe because i havent been properly drunk yet, currently no hangovers since the party in brunei. oh well.. our holidays have just begun.. more parties are yet to come.. HAHAHAH rock on woohoo!!
