Summer Break 1

Yuhoo I am back from Nasu Summer Camp. It's pretty busy these few days before I go back to Penang. Well, got a lot of things to blog but don't really have the time to do so. Here are just some brief descriptions of my days before summer camp. Again, photos will explain all, lolx.

17/07 (Friday)
Went to Shibuya (渋谷) with Pang. Didn't really buy anything other than some stuff from Disney Store! Yuhoo! At night, met up with 先輩 at Shinjuku (新宿). It was the first time I met up with Koay Keat senior. He is also from Penang! Kim Siang rushed over from Tsukuba to meet him and he changed his ticket to go back Gunma the next day, cool right lolx! We all had a great time chit-chatting and kind of gossiping at dinner time.

Wow!
Ehhh I love these pens so much! So cute!
Tah-da!
Some cookies and candies.
Actually it's not allowed to take pictures in the Disney Store. Stupid =.=
La la la!
Dinner time at Ducky Duck.
Jenka, Seng Pei & Koay Keat.
He has just finished his master course and is currently working. He claimed himself to be so old when he met up with all of us lolx =p
Spaghetti with bacon. Okok only.

18/07 (Saturday)
Every year during summer in Japan, there are a lot of places where they have 花火大会 and you can see the fireworks for at least one hour. Wow, it's such a long time right? Normally back in Malaysia, you could only see it for 5 min? 10min? during National Day or New Year. However, if compared Japan one to the one I saw at Vivocity, Singapore, I still prefer Singapore one although it is shorter, about 15-20 min if my memory doesn't fail me. After that, had my dinner at my Vietnamese friend, Duy's host family's house. I like the typical Japanese house, it's nice and comfortable. His okaasan knows my okaasan, that is why she asks me to go to her house whenever I am free. Lolx it seems that I have two host family in Japan now =) Thanks a lot!

Look at the smiley face at the bottom!
Tah-da!
Some simple shots.
Pala pala pala.
Fireworks at far apart.Duy, me, Duy's okaasan and obaasan (grandma).

Nice nice!
海草. According to Duy's okaasan, pregnant lady eats this often to gain Calcium to strengthen the bones.
I like the colour! It tastes just similar to our chinese dish.
Tofu.
Soup.
Duy's "brother" and his girlfriend. Both wearing Yukata (浴衣) to watch Hanabi (花火) where most of the Japanese do.Duy's otousan & okaasan.
Pang also bought her Yukata! Nice nice. My okaasan says she will give me one if not mistaken yeah yeah!

19/07 (Sunday)
It's the first time I went to okaasan's house. It was also my first time to sit on a car after I came to Japan lolx. Again I would like to say, I like their house decorations. It was a great day. We had 手巻き寿司 (Temakizushi) and てんぷら (Tempura) as dinner, nice! After that, played some card games and chit-chatting, spent almost the whole day there.

With Yui.
Tea-time. I love bread.
唯ちゃん.
There are tatami next to the living room.Living room.This rice is specially made for making the sushi later. After the rice is cooked, a solution of sugar + vinegar is added to mix with the rice.
Otousan was busying with the tempura cooking.
Okaasan was preparing the ingredients.
Ingredients for tempura.
Fresh and raw まぐろ (or Tuna), prawns and crab.

The table was full of food lolx.
Tah-da!
Chuhai - japanese alcohol made from rice added with fruit juice.
Delicious right, lolx.
Making 手巻き寿司.
Done!
Enjoying =p
I never expected that I would be able to eat anything now as I used to be very picky on food last time, even just a single tauge also couldn't eat it, lolx. I have turned to "sampah tang" but I enjoy it =p
Macha flavour - Warabi from Kyoto.
With macha powder as the topping. Nice!
Cute!

20/07 (Monday)
Some of the okaasan came over to visit our dorm. Had lunch at a chinese restaurant nearby Tama station. I personally think that it doesn't really taste like the one we have back in Malaysia though. After that, spent some time talking with okaasan in my room and showed her some photos of family and friends. She used her handphone to snap Ming Yeow's photo when she saw that, and showed to other okaasan after that lolx. We had our 2nd round of eating where Vietnamese & Bulgaria friends prepared some of their home country food.

Chinese food.
Vietnamese 春巻き - similar to our "lobak".
Me and Plamena - with her handmade Bulgaria tarts! Nice!
There were some "he piah" (虾饼) as well - by Vietnamese students.
Tamciak look =p

结束了考试

转眼间, 3个月过去了, 说长不长, 说短不短,
就这样, 学完了日语初级, 结束了期末试验,
那么快, 今天就知道所有的成绩了,
其实还蛮开心+欣慰的,
成绩都好好, 觉得之前的耕耘都有所成果! =)
这样我就可以好好地享受我的暑假!

说真的, 自从来日本之后, 觉得自己看开了好多东西,
没有像以前那么执著于某些事情, 所以日子也好过一些,
读书就读书, 想玩就玩, 想吃就吃!=p
再加上现在有几个趣味相同的朋友经常混在一起,
不再像之前那样强迫自己参不合适的人, 又让自己不开心,
现在的我, 真的感到很庆幸! =)
我真的应该要好好珍惜进入大学前的这一年!

Pang & me at TV lounge of our dorm.
昨天考完最后一张试卷后还得出席这个那个orientation =.="
所以就这么无奈! =p
喜欢这样毫无目的的到处走! =p
(其实是要去买零食 lolx)
就是喜欢不停的拍照! =p

考完试的晚上怎么可以不庆祝呢?
就这样, 朋友买了些气球, 回宿舍玩 water boom,
这一切仿佛让我回到了童年, 好怀念...
接着就玩游戏到深夜, 那个所谓"猪的游戏"还真的蛮刺激的 lolx!

春学期结束了, 而秋学期开始时,
学的东西不只是会越来越难, 而我们也会被重新分班,
有点不舍, 而且蛮想念班上的老师们,
毕竟已经习惯了他们的教书方法, haiz!

或许这是最后一次坐在这个座位了吧?
[拿着化学的书! =)]
D 班的朋友+老师! (少了Iaさん)

正式结束多文化交流课前,
我们到附近的小学 [新小金井小学校]
跟一群小孩子比赛玩游戏.
还蛮好笑的, 不知道为什么,
几个小女孩就是一直牵着我的手, 跟着我到处走,
朋友笑我说我有姐姐的感觉, 我想或许真的吧,
而且可能自己还蛮矮的, 所以比较容易接近? =.="
之前跟唯ちゃん的时候也是那样呢!

Tid-ti & me @ 電車.
Din, me, Thiwanka, Alisson & Anthony.
JLC students hoho!Me, Anthony & Kyoon. 強そう =p小学生们.
比赛后.B组的其中三个小女孩.红组 (虽然我们输了=.=)
大家都好累的样子!

Tachikawa 立川

Lolx, crazy. Once blog then blog twice at the same day =p Tomorrow will be the last day of exam, then I am officially to have my SUMMER BREAK yuhoo! However, it's going to be very busy until the day I go back to Malaysia. Full of plans, oops! Somemore have to buy souveniors back. Anyone wants anything? Let me know if you want me to buy you anything =p Well, just came back from Tachikawa to get reentry permit after going back to Malaysia 12 days more. Finally, took some photos after quite a long time being studying + eating everyday, lolx. Today was freaking hot. Although the temperature is not as high as in Malaysia, somehow I think here is worse as in there is no wind, or either hot wind, somemore the humidity is so high that you could hardly breath =.="

After the exam and before going to Tachikawa (立川), nothing special, we had our lunch at syokudou (食堂) as what we do everyday. Instead of eating main meal, I decided to eat a big bread, but so sad, the bread didn't taste good and this seldom happens since I found myself like their breads and biscuits most of the time, awww. But it's okay, at least I ate something nice as my dinner at Saizeriya =)

Me & Pang.
Esther & me.
Take 1 - "hey Anthony why focus lah our face look so big! =p"
Take 2 - "Yeah, much more better! =p"
Ankur, Anthony, Rado & Thiwanka
(somehow the camera only detects Rado's face =p)
It was so hot and we were walking for more than 30 minutes to the 東京入国管理局 at around 1pm awww! The place is quite isolated and we saw this on the way. And this is the ショッピングセンター (shopping centre)? =.=" lolx!
The typical residential areas. Everywhere in Japan look just so similar =.=
After that, went to Tachikawa for dinner. Esther and Pang.
Me and Esther. I like this picture =)
