Who cares

Welcome to Bangkok !!

2010-03-17T16:50:00.006+09:00

Finally I reach Bangkok after more than 12 hours travelling.

To save cost, I took free shuttle bus from Bangkok airport to public bus stop.
From Airport to Bangkok city center only costs 36 baht which is around rm3.60 !! No other countries can offer such a cheap transportation from airport to city center and runs 24 hours everyday !!
The free shuttle bus stop. Every Thais there were looking at me with strange stare.

I stayed in a cheap place with 10 persons in a room but it was clean and friendly staff,the only problem is that it is far from the nearest train station.

The next day, a Japanese roommate talked to me thinking that I am Japanese. He was so happy that I can speak Japanese and asked to join my trip to Royal Palace and watch Muay Thai show. It was my second visit to Grand royal palace. Eventhough I have been there 15 years ago, I dont really actually remember the scenes there. Everything looks new to me and I enjoyed every bit of it. Another Japanese girl joined us when she overheard our Japanese conversation. Cant believe that after trying so hard to escape from Japan for holiday, I ended up talking Japanese the whole day in Bangkok that day!!!
Casual travel partners that will never meet again.I had already forgotten their names...

I like the fact that Thai is appreciating their river and using it as one of their main transportation method. I think Msia should emulate this and make river as a part of our city but not our dumping site.

Later in the evening, I went to watch Muay Thai in Lumphini Boxing stadium. There are 2 in Bangkok but I prefer this as all locals come to this one.It was not cheap but worth the experience. The entrance.Many locals are betting and the atmosphere was great. Too bad I cant understand the way they bet..mmm...

This is the sitting place in the stadium.Viewers are sitting like they are in their own living. There are holes everywhere and I dropped my camera case down there. Why am I always so careless !!! aisyhh...my green color camera case..i will miss u !!

Went to have Thai massage and some drinks after the show then straight away headed back to hostel. I know I know Thai nightlife is not to be missed but I was too tired travelling one day before so I am charging battery for tomorrow night..hehe. I was sooo tired that i slept during body massage.

There is a saying that "Rest to have a longer journey."

till then...

Flying back home !!

2010-03-05T17:24:00.008+09:00

With my bad habit of always trying to do things last minute,again I couldnt get a cheap and direct flight back to KL. The next best thing was a transit stop flight in Beijing. I grabbed that and instead of flying back to KL I chose Bangkok. I decided to travel Bangkok alone before going back home.

Everything good comes with price and good price comes with nothing.

Can you see what I see ?? Yes,there is no TV, no inflight entertainment!!

Without anything to do, I slept and slept till my eyes refuse to close anymore. I took the initiative to talk to the passenger next to me. I thought I was brave to travel alone. Many would have agree too. But hurrah this...
She is only 10 years old and she is traveling on her on.On top of that she handles boredom far better than me. She basically sit still and not even looking at any magazines there. What makes me sad is she is a Japanese that speak better Chinese than me...aisyhh...
She was very careful when talking to me, a bit passive I should say. Am I that scary ??!!

Trying to open her up a bit, I ordered Chinese beer.
mm...think of it she is still underage, so I double check the alcohol level hoping for miracle.There are 0% alcohol beer in Japan what ??!!
It is not 3,4,5 or 5.7 %. It is >4.0% !! what does it suppose to mean ?? anything from 4 to 100 % ??? Wow, if it is really 100% it might kill so I decided to spare her from danger :P

Finally I reached Beijing, 2 hours late thanks to delay in departure and because of that I had to run around like mouse in Airport to catch my transit flight to Bangkok. When the time was just gonna run out, a generous guy with a vehicle stopped by and offer me a ride. Half-way through, he said 10 reminbi..eee...I thought it was FOC !! Then I said no renminbi, he said US Dollar or Japanese yen also acceptable. As I feel abit tricked, I said I had none of those except MSIa ringgit and credit card. Luckily he doesnt accept both..hahaha and he let out a huge sigh and straight away dropped me off. Ran for my life and giri-giri managed to get in by using staircase. It made me feel getting on like VIP.

Another long journey flight without TV but I was tired from previous flight and all those rushing. This time I planned to sleep. But the one sit next to me is a tour guide and keep on talking to me !! Am I that friendly ??!! I got some peace when finally she is busy dealing with her works.

Jokes aside, I really enjoyed talking to her. Learning something new about China and tips for travel ?!...

Finally I reached Bangkok in the midnite. No more train to city-center and as Im alone taking taxi will cost a bomb. Luckily I had a plan in mind.

To be continue....

Informative forum 2009 2nd session

2009-12-02T23:59:00.003+09:00

Can anyone tell me a good way to upload a video longer than 11 mins ??

I tried to split it but because it is in MPEG format very hard to find free software which enable me splitting unlimited files.

Tried to upload on youtube but the maximum length is 10 mins..arghhh..

Tried to upload here, it did work but it takes long time to upload only one part..mm...

Anyway below is a video of just concluded MSAJ Informative Forum 2009 2nd session 3rd part.

It was a session by professional Engineer and yes it was really informative !!

Am I lost ?

2009-11-29T17:35:00.002+09:00

Halo,

Another long break since the last time I blogged...

Just don't like blogging..hehe

Anyway I will be very busy few months ahead trying to get my 1st degree after such a long 7 years !!! I know after that I can enjoy my spring holiday to the fullest :)

I met a friend who came over to Japan for business trip last week. We were in the same class before and can't imagine he is already working for so many years now.

We were talking on how different of our way of life. Then this came out in our conversation :

"It is normal to have up and downs in our life.No need to be too worry of down time.
However, if your life has been too smooth sailing for all this while, you should stop and look around. Ask yourself: Are you heading the right direction ??"

This made me think, my study life can be considered as smooth for all this while but am I on the right way ??

I may better of doing something else..mmm....

What does it mean?

2009-10-06T21:05:00.002+09:00

I came across this sign during my last visit back home.

Still wondering what does it mean??

Please smoke or you will be fine ??

Blogging....

2009-09-23T15:18:00.002+09:00

It has been long since my last post...

Blogging is just ain't my cup of coffee..haha

Sometimes I think it is fun but most of the time it is not..
Only blog when I am free for a while which is now.

Why one blogs? Because one is free or because one finds it hard to express oneself vocally??

The year is gonna end soon...
In the night,I look at the moon,
Once I woke up, it is already noon,
But I am still in my cocoon,
My life is not a cartoon,
Gonna get real hard soon,
Riding over hard monsoon,
Must breakout and speak out soon,
or else will be blown away by typhoon,
which is coming to burst balloon,
What I like is green but not maroon,
Perhaps I should have a game of pontoon,
Before I start eating without spoon.

I guess I have to resume my work now...

Football taikai

2009-07-05T14:52:00.006+09:00

About 2 weeks ago, I was imported to play for Vietnam college team in their annually held Vietnamese football competition. Every team is allowed to have foreign players up to 3 person. I am one of the only two in their team.
Isnt this underline how good am I ? hahaha

8 teams joined the competition and we were drawn into a group of death where we face last year champion in our 1st match.
Group photo before the match.

I am too naive to think that I can bring magic, we lost closely in our 1st match. Thinking we fared quite well against last year king, we might stand a chance but we lost the next match much worse. Last match was the only game that we scored. We bowed out but I did have fun playing in a 11 vs 11 style competition. It has been long since the last time I did join something like this. I played all matches without being substituted. Haha...besides keeper maybe I'm the only one :p

By the way, the vietnamese girls there are very supportive. Help us clean the rubbish, buy lunch, buy drink and etc while we are playing.

Uchiage after the game. No one appears to be sad eventhough we lost badly.
Yes, I am the only one looking at the camera.Knowing nothing about what they are saying, I can only concentrate in taking pictures.
Not bad though, no need to take care other people,just grab and eat more food.hahaha

3 pictures

2009-06-20T21:29:00.004+09:00

I found this 3 photoshots amusing..isnt it?

Normal post...

Looking at my movements and impressed with my skill.

Too impressed with my skill till tak tahan..hoho

Where should I go ?

2009-06-17T21:55:00.004+09:00

Hi

The pic in my last blog is taken during my visit to Yokohama. Yokohama is now celebrating 150 years anniversary since the 1st time they opened their port for foreign traders.

The famous spider but what a spider has to do with Yokohama??
Joining the crowd to enter Yokohama :p
Yokohama was fun as my friend came all the way from Osaka and join us.

Thats all, don't like to write about something that is past..haha

Summer is coming soon again, where should I go ? Thinking of holidaying in Japan as this year might be the last year. Yes I am in my final year at last !! 7 years for my 1st degree..what a long way :(

Lately I have been thinking on should I continue study and if so should I continue studying in Japan.

All this while, I have been studying because I have to or so say just to score for exam but from now on it is different. I can choose. I can work or even start my own venture business.

Life is short. Youth time is even shorter. Follow your heart not the stream or will get drown. mmm...

Thinking of even take a lap year and study spanish in South America..everyone will think that I am crazy..haha

or maybe continue my master in Australia.After so many years being suap by JPA, can I survive without one...mmm..

aisyhh...

Dont care, better think where should I go for summer holiday..haha

A picture from just conluded Asean festival.Spot the gaijin!! Always like candid shot :)

I just visited moon

2009-06-06T22:38:00.004+09:00

Spring Holiday is over !!

2009-04-18T16:23:00.015+09:00

OMG !! My spring holiday is over...

Hectic schedule and tough life is ahead.

I have a month long eurotrip for my spring holiday. It was a fantastic journey where I saw and experienced a lot of stuff.Here is my route. Follow the red lines then maroon and finally green.

As you can see from the map, I went to Amsterdam 3 times !!

Amsterdam is such a beautiful city, the whole city is like a theme park.So many happenings. Everyone is in carnival mood.I was forced to become a maurijuana second hand smoker for few days. Yes, maurijuana or cannabis is selling like hot cakes in Amsterdam. People grows maurijuana tree in their garden. There is even guidebook on how to grow a maurijuana !! The red light district here is awesome too. As it is legal here one can wander freely enjoy looking at girls without much fear.If in Chow Kit, the bravest one will only wind down their car window and wave their hands. Anything more than that you will end up being poorer or weaker. Here we just roam freely by foot.Sorry no picture taken in Amsterdam as I lost (might have been stolen) my camera in Cambridge. Cambridge students might be clever but...No one return my camera... ;(

In Amsterdam, I bumped into a very sweet girl believing she might be the one.This girl works in a chinese restaurant.Yes, chinese restaurant is everywhere in Europe and many is all-u-can-eat style.Her smile was so sweet that it can melts everything including m&m.We had some nice chat but lack the courage to go further.Just wanting to see her once more, we went back to the same restaurant before we fly back home.Once we entered the restaurant, her aunt straight away said she is not around now before even we have ask anything ??!! Did we look like so 'hamsap'..haha!! One of my travel partner is so distress that he said he will have sleepless nights ahead because failing to at least have a last view of her. We might go back to Amsterdam this summer..who wanna join? Girls only..we dont want competitor..hoho

Other countries was so much fun too but too long to blog here.Ask me directly to those who is interested. Arghh..one more thing, amsterdam arguably has one of the best airport in Europe where there is built-in casino. :)

Italy

1)Quite a dirty country.Their airport is much worse than KLCC.So many shits block our way to Pisa tower.
2)Pizza and spaghetti is nice at the beginning.Still we Asians need rice.
3)Venice is a city worth revisiting.Dont go out without a map, dont go to the casino and dont kacau the dog there.

Looks like I am rowing the boat while I am taking this picture.

This is actually a pic taken inside Pisa tower.For normal pisa tower picture u can google it.

Austria: Had one of the best sausage in my life.

Germany
1)Very much organised country. Clean and efficient but the quality of "lenglui" lose to Italy.
2)Learn alot about Hitler and spark my interest toward him.Currently reading his novel.
3)Nice food and beer everywhere.

Entering gas chamber. The word up there actually means shower room so to trick inmates.

everybody shit next to each other.

Chezh
1)One of the cheapest country in europe so everything appears cheap which is a good thing.
2)The city never sleeps.Tram runs 24 hr.
3)VEry cold even in spring.Snowed everyday.

One of the weirdest building in the world.

Spain
1)One of the most lively city.The people is simply more friendly,lively and energetic.They are also the shortest among all.Dont have to worry that I cant reach the pee bowl.
2)Bull fighting is cruel and it is a endless show.Watch 2-3 hours of repeating stuff.( 1st make the bull run,then a knight came out and finally a matador came out finishing the show) Finally cannot tahan the repeating pattern and went back.Nevertheless bullfight is such a great show which is not to be missed.
3)Barcelona is a city full of arts but I personally think that it is less historical than madrid.
4)Many pickpockets in Spain.BEWARE !!

Planning to seriously learn spanish.

Another bull is killed.

what better jacket to wear in Spain.

France
1)City of love is actually quite dirty.Their metro is smelly.
2)"Eiffel tower..three one euro" So many petaling street style sellers around Paris.
3) Mona Lisa is too overrated.Many pics in the musee de louvre has much better quality.

The famous Eiffel Tower. Actually it is not so tall as I have expected but it is rather fat and short.
Shopped in the main office of LV.How come it is sooo much cheaper in Petaling Street..haha

England
1)It is arguably the cleanest among them all.
2)The metro is free of rubbish but changing from one line to the other one have to walk like crazy...so damn far.
3)The Msian food is so good and HK food also.Jepun one kalah.
4)Musical show is splendid but it is wiser too buy at the theathre.

The castle here is better than in German but too bad all pictures taken here is lost. :(

Cant wait for my next trip. For the next few months ahead, guess I have to be a good boy in my lab. Work hard so that can play hard,,,,,

Exercise..

2009-02-25T17:49:00.005+09:00

Lately , I have been seriously lack of exercises unless typing is considered as an exercise. Usual weekly futsal games had been cancelled again and again as we can't gather enough numbers. The same for badminton outing as everybody is mysteriously busy these days. Am I the only one who is free for the time being? Come-on it is spring holiday...

leaving with no choices..i fill my days with parties ( or nomikai ) in my house or outside.

Without good sleep almost everyday and lacking healthy exercises, I feel like my body is weakening. So I decided to do some exercises one night.

Not that it is some kind of exercises which can only be done at night. Just happen that Im free at night :p

I decided to walk home from somewhere far.

Arm with only a few photos I took from a map book.
Totalling 4 pages distance, I thought it was easy-chop.

But I was wrong, it is now winter which is certainly not the best season for walking.What more during 1 am in the night..haha

My compatriots.

After around half way through, we were simply worn out and wanting rest.

So we had our petrol tank filled here.

We continued our journey, and every time when we thought we are almost there we saw some really huge signboard like huge M which has never been seen around my house. Then we realised that it is still far away and our aim was to walk faster so that those huge signboard will lost in our sight.

Totalling it tooks more than 3 hours to reach home. It was a good exercises.

nah...

I wont even think of it if I didnt miss my last train..

Curse the punctual train..isyhhh

Spring Holiday

2009-02-10T22:08:00.010+09:00

At last I am gonna enjoy my spring holiday soon. Not before I finish some reports though :(

I have been busy lately for some school projects and of course test which I fared badly I guess. I am particularly busy for school projects because I have to do both 2nd year and 3rd year one in one term. Phew...

For the 2nd year project which is to redesign the city of Jiyugaoka especially area around the railway station. Here is my team's final product.

This is the model but of course the more important part is our idea.

Guess what? My team turned out to be the winner..yahoo..finally after tasted defeat in so many contest. Winners' name will be written onto a plate means my name gonna stay forever in my school gallery..haha!!

Actually it is more fun in my 3rd year project because there are 2 girls in my group, haha.Because we take many classes together so we are quite close.
working on yet another contest namely pet bottle contest.The girl in white is one of the most genki girl I have ever seen. She is so energetic and straightforward that she is so fun to be with.
She always say that I'm lying when I say I got no girlfriend. I don't understand why :( Till now she and the other one also doesnt believe me :( kesian...

The contest is to build a bridge which can withstand 400 kg loads and to be under 25 kg and many rules. Our concept is to build a beautiful bridge. Design comes first. I am being trusted to be the main welding man. Our design has more than 140 places to be welded. It is the most compare to others. For many times I skipped dinner just to make sure we can finish it on time.Now I understand why many Japanese are thin. Here is our bridge.Don't tell me it is not beautiful :(

Result; 9 minutes of construction time (best 6 mins) , 2.5 mm of displacements by 400kg ( best: 1mm)

Too bad that we only managed 3rd place but still we got what we aim for. Yes, we are voted for the best design award :):)

Now the exam is over. I will enjoy planning my next trip to europe..yahoo :) I am gonna conquer Europe.!!

New Zealand special

2008-12-03T12:57:00.013+09:00

I just came back from New Zealand for international conference on sustaining environment..bla..bla.Actually it is an international conference for students from AOTULE (Asia-Oceania Top University League of Engineering) which my school is one part of it.I were so damn lucky to be chosen as the representative my department.Everything is fully paid except I have to pay for my own meal. Thats super good deal. No reason to reject eventhough i have to skip important classes and tests which will affect my result but who cares !!

New Zealand is really a superb country with beautiful nature. I experienced alot in NZ and really had lots of fun. Here I would like to highlight 10 special stuffs about NZ.

1. Many of the cars here like to drag their loads.

2. Medium size here doesnt mean medium.All the food is in big size which is good to many of us but not Japanese. They complain all the time for the big portion.

3. The kampung-ness of Auckland.
Here is the view of Auckland from the top of Mt Eden. You see what I see ?There are so many trees. Actually Auckland is not those hustling bustling city, I think it is not even close compare to KL.Only part of the city is fully developed.

4.Auckland tower is owned by Chinese.
So many chinese people here.You can see them everywhere.

5.Kiwi fruit got its name from kiwi bird which is a very rare animal even here in NZ.I saw it in a photo-prohibited area.Btw,can refer a hot chick in NZ as hot kiwi chick.Taken from a replica.

6.There is a law where u cant build a house smaller than around 400 m^2.It is such a wonderful law; sigh by Japanese.

7.Stripshow is free if you enter early. Don't ask me wether i went into one.

8.NZ daytime is sooo long !!

This picture was taken at 8pm in the night.

9.Hail the king of all sheep. The Merino. Wanted to buy a wool made from it but it is just way too expensive :(

10.Nice view from Maruwai Beach.
All those white dots are migrating birds. It is actually much more beautiful just that i dont have a high-quality camera :(

oopss...one more very important stuff !!

How can I not thank my school for making this trip succesful.Here is a our group photo.

wait...one more..one more

NZ is famous for ...

ya...Bungy Jumping !!

How can I give it a miss.I jumped off from Auckland famous Harbour Bridge. It was so nice. I now understand the feeling of people who suicide from jumping off a tall building. Those moment is really ..mm...words cant describe. Seeing is the best.

wanna try?

got only one regret where i missed on trying Luge rides. :(

2nd post

2008-11-18T20:43:00.005+09:00

今天都到之而。。

再见。。。

Busy days ahead

2008-11-07T00:56:00.004+09:00

Summer has gone. Winter is approaching and I can foresee a very hectic schedule ahead.

Having to do both 3rd year and 2yr year classes is really turning my head around. With 2 big projects on both sides is really very challenging. Furthermore, a lot of social activities to take care of too.

One project is to design a new plan to develop 自由が丘駅 ( a busy but not properly built railway station). It is almost a must to go everyday to check the trafic volume.Another project is to design a bridge which is much more fun.The winner can earn a free trip to America next March. Thats why everybody is working real hard on it..and I have to play my part too...aisyhh.

By the way, I just finished a mini bridge contest last week. Despite being the worst performer because my paper bridge can only hold 6kg but still my group won the good design award. Here is the video.
Can you see my funny reaction when the bridge collapsed ? No ? then better see it again..haha
My Jap friend reviewed it so many times.

Other than that, I have to prepare for a conference which will be held in New Zealand end of this month.Ya..i will be going to NZ for free..hehe. Malaysian doesnt need a visa to enter NZ rite ?Do we?
Anyone got any idea on must do things in NZ.?

2008-10-03T23:17:00.013+09:00

In holiday

2008-09-15T23:36:00.004+09:00

what is the best way to enjoy holiday ?

Just stay and rest at home ?

Go holiday all around ?

Go meet all those childhood friends?

Go play is fun but in the end i will be worn out. Isnt holiday suppose to be a rest ?

If stay at home only and i will be boring.It is not what i want.Isnt holiday suppose to be we do what we want ?

I tried to stay put at home before but after 3 days im dying to go out.I guess the best is to strike a balance.

now preparing to go MElaka tomoro after coming back from Penang.

HEre are 2 pictures from my HK trip.
Hk famous night viewenjoying night view on a HK junk boat with a wine of glass ;)

Tomorrow is the day. I think no way Anwar can do it tomorrow but maybe yes in the future.I heard rumor there might be something on Sept 18.

Hope the drama of malaysian politic will end soon.Without stability comes no promises.

nah...better focus on how to enjoy my holiday..hehe

malaysia

2008-09-05T21:05:00.002+09:00

halo

I'm back this early morning after almost 2 years.

Glad to see familiar faces which are not so familiar anymore.

Will go around with my jap friends but not so sure where is the nicest place to show beside my house.any ideas ???? Melaka and Penang will be in the list.

Nothing to say..just wanna post something...haha

Drop me a call..i cant contact many of you as i dont have my phone anymore..;(

D runway

2008-08-23T11:22:00.005+09:00

I am building airport.Precisely is the extension area of Haneda International Airport.

Do you know that by passengers number, Haneda is second to none in Asia.Even Narita loses to Haneda..take note!! As they expect the number will continue the rise,and building a new airport in Tokyo will be way too expensive therefore they opt to build a new runway in Haneda.( http://www.haneda-d.jp/ )As there is no more free land area in Tokyo bay, they have to build it on sea.The company which i will join for 2 weeks is an extreme expert in reclamation project. They did many reclamation project in Singapore which represents 8% of the tiny colony.The famous "terusan Seuz" is also one of their project.

My job is very easy..just draw some stuff on AutoCad and drink beer with them..haha.They can't give a student like me to do important job,can they? Last week is my 1st week there and it was really an eye-opener to me.For the 1st time I really understand how they do mega project.
In another 2 years,i will take off from this very piece of land i'm standing now.

Seeing how they work inside, I keep wondering can Malaysian company do the same ? Do they have the discipline? At least for now, i think they don't have,thats the difference why they are on top of us now. Not only they build but also always keep researching for new technology.I mean they really research.In Malaysia, I can't recall any company doing big projects.Even our proud KLCC also built by Japanese and Korean company.We just bought the technology.We cant really claim it as our own.If needed, they can build another KLCC anywhere they want. Even the astronaut program also we are merely a passenger riding a taxi to outer space. I truly believe advance in technology is very important !! I know Msian government also know that by sending us here but i doubt they get back what they hope for.Take LRT system for example,i read news about our PM sneak in to only realise that it is not up to standard.I think aiyoyo, what take you so long to realise it !! Ages ago also like that d la...so outdate...even small kid also know !!our PM dunno kah ??!!

okla..better stop here. I swayed away from main topic d...

summer vacation !!

2008-08-12T14:52:00.005+09:00

It is summer time again!!

Nothing else better than go to the beach !!

Then this is the time i have to face the fact !!
I am fat. Arghh..but according to malaysian standard,maybe im still in normal standard, right ?!!

Anyway the highlight of the day is
No,no, not this on water fireworks display but this
can you see hordes of policemen behind me !!No ,they are not covering a dead body !!

The story starts like this...

Once upon a time, when I were siting at the beachside,i saw a lady.At 1st glance, she appeared normal but when i look carefully, i saw some bushes.I cant believe what im seeing then when i look more carefully, i saw another 2 big watermelon.*Watermelon is especially delicios during summer.
Then she started to "happily" jumping up and down and walking around to show how healthy her watermelons are.Then people started to complain and so polices are called. But the number is too huge !!Why on earth do we need more than 10 policemen to take care a helpless lady without anything except some bushes and 2 big fruits on her!!

some of you may wonder why people complain !! Especially if you are a girl you might think that a guy will be happy to see such scene...i think so too but..
there is always an exception ..

One year

2008-07-31T17:24:00.005+09:00

If you have an extra free year what do you wanna do ?

People always say that time passes by very fast. So is one year time fast or slow ?

Lately I am seriously worry about having to repeat another semester. ( guess maybe because I'm in the middle of exam now ) I found out that it is so easy to fail a subject here..and what more to me who is a transfer student with so many disadvantages. Come to think of it, why I am always a transfer student since primary school. Except once when I entered PPKTJ.

If I happened to repeat another semester, I can have almost one full year free time. Attending only maybe one or 2 classes. So maybe I should start planning on what to do in that..hehe

1.Do part time job
2.Train more muscles
3.Enter some society
4.Travel more
5.Learn Spanish
6........or maybe apply to do one semester in english or latin-speaking country

Lately I found out that maybe i will fare much better in UK or Aus because I enjoy reading reference book in english. Starting to get bored of Japan :( My early enthusiasm to come Japan almost 4 years ago is lost. Sushi ? sashimi ? Japanese anime ?game?tv?japanese girl? so what!!...Going back to Msia soon and hate answering questions like what i find special in Japan !! The answer is nothing...hehe

When I 1st reached Japan almost 4 years ago...shifting in

and shifting out of hostel 3 years later

...phew..how time flies !! so one year not a big deal, is it?

After all , I think I better off studying now !!

better than part-time job

2008-07-14T10:56:00.004+09:00

Halo,

Here is an announcement. This can earn you money faster than part-time job. Just write an essy about Malaysia Independence Day and you will get 15,000 yen if you capture the 1st prize. Of course other prizes will also be prepared.

Lets say you spend 3 hours to write an essay and that is equal to 5000yen per hour work. Where can you get a better bargain ?? Maybe even kabukicho cant give you that.:p

Here are the official posters.

Good luck. The best part is no boss will scold you and you got nothing to lose on giving it a try.

am i a star?

2008-07-05T11:28:00.002+09:00

This is a match between Malaysian badminton superstar and vietnam superstar.

Lucky if you didnt watch the video.
Too bad if you watch..it is just a stupid game between 2 amateurs.

Actually it was taken during my sports class in Uni. Lecturer asked us to watch our own match and analyze it as part of our homework. Never in my dream to have my own match recorded. It looks like a star isn't it ? :p It is so funny to look at my own game. I still remembered last time when i do watch a badminton match on TV,i will always criticise the player as you should move faster, hit harder..blablabla...!! Looking at my own game, i can tell the same..my play looks so stupid in the movie. When i'm playing myself, i didn't realize anything and keep thinking i had a good game..hehe
Looking at my own game really is an eye-opener to me.

I have to praise my Uni system to prepare such a video to me. But I still miss malaysia's style of sports class where the teacher will throw a ball at u and we basically can do anything with it..hahaha!!

看了我上这的blog的兄弟姐弟们,谢谢你们!!我会加油。。如果有油的话啦:p 最近的油很贵很难加啊。。

special restaurant

2008-05-29T21:12:00.004+09:00

Exam coming soon !! full of worries and happiness..strange? ya ..i am

Today I was late for class.The 1st since I entered University. Luckily it didn't happen during exam day..phew..I guess I should buy an alarm clock !!

Last weekend,went to celebrate Loke Eng birthday in a special restaurant the other day. It is a jail cum hospital restaurant.
I drank a girl's brain water..hehe

Instead of the usual bell, have to bang onto the jail door to call for service...

Got special show to entertain us too..like this

This show is about they caught a bad guy and take care of him..it just happened in front of our jail bar. So nice..especially with the last suprising act.

I recommend this place.

Busy or not = a choice ??

2008-05-24T14:27:00.002+09:00

Lately has been very busy that i dont even have time to write anything here.

Lately, I wonder why am I always busy. Ya I got alot of school assignments and etc. But everybody has the same time, why sometimes I feel that other people looks more free. And I realised that it is my fault. I should not have join so many activities and etc...but no fun no life right? So really wanna emphasis on efficiency lately.If i can cut the time used to do assignments then i will be very free..and enjoy more...hehe :)

Anyway gonna go out soon to celebrate my friend's birthday.

以上...

By the way...I am so sad that my favourite team Chelsea lost in champions league final. I hate Man U!!

me busy doing experiment

graduation ceremony

2008-03-22T23:18:00.014+09:00

hi...

I am a graduate now!! just a diploma graduate though...

It took me 3 years...short ? long ?

To me it was long, as many times I am frustrated with the life in college. It is not as fun as I 1st imagined it will be.

Luckily I managed to find many activities outside and those activities were actually the highlight of my 3 years in Japan.Like my involvement in Malaysian Students Association in Japan, interacting with other foreign students in Tokyo, joining volunteer stuff and most fun of all undoubtedly is my many trips to overseas with my batch's friend.

Anyway back to my graduation day...

The main ceremony was kinda boring.I just have to sit and don't even have to go and take my own certificate. I fell asleep a few times during the ceremony.some boring talk...
his this suit (hakama) costs around 40 man...a whopping 13k in Malaysia...unbelievable!! if only some tomato sauce fall onto it..hehe

luckily the party after that was much more fun :)

1st party : some sort like cocktail party in the gymnasium hall..
see the basket...

one of my partner in my lab. Was so suprised that she will be going to marry soon.As lately so many girls like to marry late especially japanese woman, I'm really quite shocked but nevertheless congrats to her.
the doctor who cured my sore throat(story in my last entry)..if it was not her maybe i won't graduate..

2nd party: Thanksgiving party to lecturers. Held in a wedding hall.Was quite expensive.
my face is very sensitive to alcohol.
expressing my gratitude to all the teachers...

was a short and smart ceremony..

3rd party: drinking party in a local bar = time to tell it all

After some alcohol drinks,Japanese turned into non-Japanese...
on my left is my tutor..he is really a great guy..mmm..quite hot-tempered though!! He even fight with teachers!!

late in the night, things really got heat up !! some even fight for some love problems.Broke few glasses...

Some even came to me and cried and tell me how important was I,I am really touched...

I will remember u all...thanks for the 3 years !! another chapter in my life ended
my football kaki and party partners..:)

always come when unwanted

2008-03-01T09:42:00.003+09:00

Ever have the experience that when u want something and it is not there but when you don't need it,it is there !!

When I woke up last Tuesday, I found out that my vocal cord wasn't working and I can't speak a proper word. :(
It was really a shock,I'm so worried as in another 2 days I was supposed to give my final graduation presentation. How if my voice can't heal on time? Can i still graduate?

It was Wednesday and I still can't speak. Not only me, my sensei was also very worried about me. As the last resort,i tried everything.

I medicine sprayed my throat almost every hour
I had traditional Pei Pa Kao from Msia
I consumed lots of Hacks and Vicks
I applied super mask
I tried not to talk the whole day
I ate flu pills
My friend guide me to the clinic in my school and all the doctor said that even i go to hospital i can't heal on within one day !! but still I in believe in miracle...

Now here is the tricky part, I so hard wanna tried constrain myself from talking but god just didn't allow...

Ever had those lonely days when u hoped someone will call u but no one did? But now at the moment I just hoped that no one will call me. But...

ring! ring ! In the morning my mom called from overseas.She seldom call me at this time so it must be something very important. No reason not to pick up,right?
Then in the evening there is this friend M called. In the phone I told him I'm hurt and can't speak properly but his response was don't play a fool la...say properly la...i got something important to ask la...
aisyhh...do I appear like someone who likes to play such joke ? ..think of it...maybe yes.. This made me recall the story of a guy who always lied and at the end nobody believe him.

then continue to the late evening, another 2 persons called...at this point I can't believe why there are so good in the timing. At least, they were better as they ended their conversation fast when they realized i'm sick. At night when i was just trying to sleep earlier another guy called...

I forced myself to talk so many times and went to sleep thinking that there must be no chance i will be cured tomorrow.

The next morning, i didn't try to talk. I saved my voice until almost last minute then woooohaaaa....my voice is back but of course is not 100% !! I was soooo happpyyyy and really so thankful to god that i can speak. Somehow managed to handled my presentation but can't give my best but at least better than can't even present at all, right??

phew...felt a huge boulder is off my shoulder...I can finally confirm my graduation now, i guess :)

The next day, my nightmare continue...i received more calls than normal..so strange...i bet no one will call me when im healed later..hehehe

Anyway now I'm looking forward to my coming overseas holiday and really hope that by that time my throat can heal 100% ...

group photo after my final graduation presentation.Can u find me inside there?

reaching the end

2008-02-25T21:48:00.006+09:00

February gonna end soon. My graduation presentation will be this coming thursday...after that I can finally enjoy some rest after such a hectic kosen 5th year.

Today i held a farewell party with my japanese sensei. She came to kisarazu kosen the same year as mine so we can be considered as her most loved students. From being a single to going to marry soon, me and other 5th year students had seen at all. I still remembered once when I suggested a dating plan to her and coincidentally her boyfriend planned that and she actually got proposed on that very date.

Today is the last day. The last day which we will sit in that small room attending to her class.To make it special we had a unplanned small party in ryuugakusei canteen.Wanted to buy a cake but no nearby shop selling...

So I made it my own. As it was out of a sudden, i cant make any fancy one but just made a sponge cake. She liked it very much but she said it tasted like castella.
Not so successful but everybody love it...:)

Doink's fried chicken was very nice too. Thanks to everyone who made this small farewell party successful. The 5th year students and sensei...

By the way, I was invited by senpai that day to share house. So it might be the best choice of getting cheap and good house. And of cos the size will be bigger too :) Welcome welcome...

Keep on finding

2008-02-01T22:10:00.001+09:00

Thats the result of my mini poll. As I was born in a democratic country,I do always follow majority and I will keep on finding at the time being.Now I'm even thinking of continuing my hostel life...

Last week Tuesday...

When the clock struck 12, a bunch of guys banged into my room...
Happy birthday to you..happy birthday to you...happy birthday to me!!

Thanks for the celebration.But I wonder am i really 23 at that time ? As I was born in Malaysia and precisely I am only 22 yrs 11 months 30 days 23 hours at that time...right?

Hope my wishes do come true though

The next day, my 1st and best African friend, Nyonjo organized a birthday event for me. He drove me and another 3 of our peers to a nice restaurant faraway which took almost 40 mins.

Thanks for the 2nd cake!! The guy next to me is proudly showing off his jacket from his GF :p

Next, we headed to JJ club. A place where u can play anything u want !! 1st we played bowling and as usual I'm the weakest :(
Can u see my green ball heading towards the gutter ??

I managed only one strike and it is not even in my scoresheet. Why ?? Because I MISTAKENLY bowled when it was actually Nyonjo's turn :( He tried to return the favor but failed. He is suppose to be the strongest among us though...
Celebration ended with us all singing in karaoke.Enjoyed till 5 am in the morning.WAs so sleepy and tire the next day :(

Special thanks to Koay for your super gift which can one day get into me trouble for being noisy..hehe.

To Ueno aka Intele who gave me japanese sword. Last year and this year.But what am i suppose to do with it? please someone make me hate you so i can..hehe..use it on u!!

Of course million thanks to everyone who wished me and gave me presents during my birthday.

Auto Salon 2008

2008-01-14T19:35:00.000+09:00

What is Auto Salon ?
Me myself not so sure, just happened that Randy asked me and since I am free I just went.

After some simple explanation from him, then only i know that it is an exhibition about
specially modified car.But to me it is more like a girl exhibition as it is just so obvious as the crowd gathers only at booths where they have the best models but not cars !!
one of a good example where only 2 girls in blue can attract most of the crowd attention whereas nobody cares cars with no girls.oopss..my mistake..at least got some-lah!!you see got one guy resting his hand at a great yellow sporting car.

there is an advantage though.With everybody busy with cars which has girls only I can easily snap famous car like this Lamborghini sports car !!

compared to motor show, i could only took its emblem from afar
this time i can go real close and it is just so inviting !!
As there are no any "Do not sit" signs so I jumped into it..!!(with a little push from Randy..hehe)Within seconds, someone came and warned me off.I walked away and when i turned back..they implemented "dasar pintu tertutup". The seat was so comfortable..what a waste..

some of the cars i like
subaru imprezza..offers great 4WD control

great one seater small truck

nice-colored BMW

nice car with nice girl

some crazy stuffs...
this car was used in a car-football match. Ya a car can actually play soccer and this is the ball

a car with a lot of screens all over.Even the door has 6 little screens.

a car with its body painted with naked girls.

by the way, i found a decent house last Sunday but i was rejected simply because im a foreigner. So sad..it was really a good one.Hope that the owner of house which I'm going to see this weekend wont be someone who is afraid of foreigner like me. (not all foreigners are terrorist..ok!!)

p.s:there is a voting box on the top right

money or life??

2008-01-11T16:56:00.000+09:00

The old question of mankind.I am in a dilemma now..

This coming 3 days holiday i have decided to spend some time looking for my new home in Tokyo. I did some surveys on the internet and have some targets.

Long story cut short, it is either cheap,old and far OR expensive and everything good.
If in Malaysia, i would have straight away jump to the cheap option as i'm pretty sure that i can endure sick-looking house or even endure long traveling time to school.(I used to took 1 hour to go to school namely PPKTJ whereas the actual distance is just around 30 mins walk away)

But in Japan it is difference, an old house usually made by wood is not safe from earthquake!! Okay...maybe i'm not that lucky to come across such a big earthquake any soon but the coldness in winter might freeze me too. You see, an act of saving money might cost my life...mmm...money or life??

few of my choices...
Ya it does look old from the outside.But it is the cheapest with bathroom and toilet.30 mins to school by train.But if a big Earthquake comes..phew..see u guys in heaven.By the way, according to expert it is believed that 60% a big Earthquake will hit Tokyo area soon.

It costs a little bit more(45000 per mth) but huge for someone who lives alone.(around 30m square)Inside looks like this: So sad, again it is not safe from earthquake and it is wooden made.Japan modified their construction guidelines in 1981 so houses built after that basically has more chances to survive big earthquake.

a simple check on "strong" and "good" houses which are near to my school,the cheapest turns out to be
72000yen per mth.It is more than RM2000!! But it is safely made of steel concrete and only 5 mins walk from my U.You see,I can sleep till 10mins before my class starts!! If want i can still afford it by eating bread almost everyday..haha

so money or life ?

I guess i have to bet on the 40%.

Actually there is another choice where I can enjoy both money and safety!! Choose somewhere far away...but then i lose my sleeping time...aisyhh..i guess nothing is perfect

Year 2008

2008-01-07T17:03:00.000+09:00

My New Year's resolution

1.Obtain Japanese car license
I successfully got it last Friday.Congrats me ok!!I got it on my 2nd try, not bad right? I didn't repeat my same mistake and I drive really "carefully" this time.So careful that the instructor was wondering maybe i should have gone faster or turn faster

2.Get used to University life
Finally i gonna end my kosen life in another 2 months and just can't wait to get out from my strict hostel. Say goodbye to my hostel which treat me like small kid!!

3.Have a nice summer trip
Planning to go for a Euro trip.Camping at the countryside of germany or britain will be wonderful.Swimming in European beach with "beach" will be great too..haha

For the time being only 3...basically left 2 only. I have low expectation? no..i just don't like planning too much ahead...

Looking back to Year 2007...it was great with tonnes of unforgettable memories

back to Malaysia in January

Last trip with seniors in March.View of Mt Fuji was great.

Golden week gathering which i organised with James.

Studied hard for university entrance exam till the end of August.

Fuji-san trip on merdeka day which I planned one day before.

Bunkasai uchiage.The first time i dressed as a woman.

Kamakura trip with fellow foreign students.

The king and queen of Malaysia Night.An event i organised.I learned a lot from it.

Great ski trip with seniors and juniors.

Finally ended with countdown party in Shibuya club.

ever think of suicide before ?

2007-12-19T21:33:00.000+09:00

電車がまいります。1..2..3..自殺してください
Train is coming..1..2..3..be prepare to suicide !!
(I got this from my friend.)

I found it to be very interesting and at the same time it raises my doubt on why do Japanese like to take their own lives.As a matter of fact, Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world.I bet jumping onto a moving train is the most popular suicide style of all.Especially in Tokyo it is almost a daily routine.Japanese trains are so punctual that if it comes late, one can easily guess that the train had bang on someone.

Why human suicides ??

1. Because of lost love
2. Because of stress in job
3. Because of money problem etc

But in Japan I found out that they suicide on different reasons.They can even (1) suicide just because of bullying problem in school or (2)just because they are too bored with their life or (3)just plainly because of embarassment. Isnt it too fragile ?? In Japan everybody can suicide!!From country's top minister,headmaster of a school to a primary school student.And they can even kill their own neighbour just because they are noisy. I was shocked to read a news today that a policeman has took his own life in his very own policebox.Isnt he the one who is suppose to stop people from suiciding ?!!

I cant understand why. Can we call this a different of culture?

To me, no matter how harsh a problem turns out...suicide will never be in my option!!

By the way, today i was asked to introduce my lab in front of my junior so that they can have a rough picture on what to expect and in the meantime help them decide on which lab to choose.
Frankly said, everyone in my lab hates our lecturer especially there is this one girl who planned to critise him to the worst so that nobody will come to our lab next year.She asked me to help...mm..i dont hate him but still i dont like his style...so i didnt promise her.But dont know why,in front of my juniors unconsciously everything came out from my mouth was only bad words about him.

Now i felt a bit guilty as i did something which i had always critise.Am I being influenced into the japanese way of talking bad words behind one's back.

sorry to my sensei...

Short weekend holiday

2007-12-11T20:03:00.000+09:00

My school sponsored us,the kisarazu kosen foreign students to holiday yet again. This time it is a bit different as it is a combine trip with oyama kosen foreign students and it is 2 days long. They came to visit our kosen.

On the 1st day, we played a friendly football match. We as the home team lost 2-3 !! such a shame :( When we were leading 2-1,suddenly they got a penalty and a fast goal was soon to follow up too.When we were just trying to attack back, the game was ended by my sensei as it is time to depart. 悔しいです！！
Then we went to a small aquarium museum and day one trip just ended like that. But actually the fun part come in the night when we have our own free time. I teached my kohais and oyama kosen fellow a game called "mafia" and we really enjoyed the game that we played till 4 something.

The next day, our 1st stop was a famous lighthouse called nojima lighthouse in chiba, tateyama area.
Taken from the top.Should have taken the lighthouse horr...abit disappointed :(
Our group photo:
Can u noticed that i'm barefooted ?

Actually before the pic was taken, I ventured into the sea barefooted!!
On the way back, I carelessly fell into the sea and injured my left foot!!Needless to say, for the rest of the day I sited in the bus with my pants wet.can u see the super tiny cut on my foot ? After i got that cut, two beautiful girls came over and helped me cleaned it. A blessing in disguise? haha

Next we visited a shrine which has the biggest marble block on top of its roof.It is being recognised by the world guiness book of record, so says the guide. It cant be seen clearly in this picture, but actually the marble block continues into the pic.

Then we headed to a boat trip where they threw food into the sea to attract madai fish. But sadly, before the slower fish can get a bite on it many birds came and rob it away. But still i enjoy the view of birds too !!
Next we went for some routine souvenirs buying and thats the end of my this short trip. Now i injured both my left and right foot...am worrying now that i cant enjoy snowboard later this month :(

Ｉ　ｆａｉｌｅd !!

2007-12-05T11:42:00.001+09:00

As the tittle says, I failed !! Fail in what ? I failed in an exam. No ,no not my school exam !! I failed my driving test in Japan !! what a shame considering i have been driving in Msia for more than 3 years. One simple reason,they are damn strict here. It is almost miracle for a foreigner to pass in one go. Ya, Jap almost all passes in one go but we are different. I just applied for a change from Msian license to Jap license and it costs only few thousand yen whereas a normal way(going to driving school , practice blablabla ) will simply costs more than 30 man.

The test is divided into 2 parts of written test and skill test.I easily cleared the first hurdle. After the 1st test i waited for around 2 weeks to sit for the skill test. I wonder why they need such a long time to test me !! Japs just like queueing up for everything.They can queue up for many hours just to buy something. I guess they feel more satisfy when they sweat for the stuff they want. So i suspect they do apply this mentality to driving test too maybe ?? Waiting wont make the driving test look more prestige ok !!

The doom day

Finally the day has come. I have been waiting to fail..haha...as the legend says that foreigner cant pass in one go!! Furthermore i have a one year blank and without practice(one practice session costs more than 1 man~ i better fail for it) i will be sitting for a manual. The ingredients was enough to fail.

The engine stopped the moment i started it. Cis ,the last person didnt set it into freegear. So the test started and before i can finished the course he asked me to drive home. Yup , it means I failed !!
The good thing is they told me where I failed.

1st reason :

Didnt look at my left and right while im driving .

Crazy-kah !! How can i swing my head to my sides while im driving. Of course I'm aware of whats on my side just that i didnt do big actions.
I did check my left and right at junctions and he did agree but just that while driving...argghhh...i still cant believe :(

2nd and the last reason ( ya, 2 is good enough):

Before entering a S-corner , I sided a bit to my right.

Hard to understand ,an illustrated image below !!

He said this will disturb cars on the opposite side. Hey the road is so wide la mister, and it is just so little. aissyhh..

Anyway, it is not that i wanna complain on the system just that im abit frustrated.
To MY driving test instructor,see you again next year. Ya, u got me right! the waiting game starts all over again..i have to wait till next year to sit for it again.

By the way , even before i get a Jap license. I have already been driving in Japan..hahaha

Autumn

2007-11-27T21:12:00.000+09:00

Here comes the shortest season of the year. Autumn is a month when trees turn into red or yellow etc. Almost 2 weeks ago, I went to see those beautiful colorful trees in TAkao-san. It was full of bad luck events. Actually besides seeing those beautiful leaves we were planning to enjoy our meal at a famous delicious shop we saw in TV. The shop has only ONE menu,ya you got me right only ONE and it is a 1 kg monjya beef like this :

Ya maybe it does look small in this picture, but believe me it is huge. 1 Kg ok? we are not Malayan tiger !! There is this legend that this boss so arrogant that sometimes he even stop people from entering his shop. Only those he is familiar with can get hidden menus. However we dont even get our chance to be chased away :(
The shop was closed on the day we went and we curiously asked the boss next door. He said that no one knows when the shop operates !! Everything depends on his mood !! Wow , sounds like a legendary shop...cheh !! so delicious meh but nonetheless make me feel like trying my luck again next time. Im just a normal human with a problem of wanting something we dont get easily !!
We wasted so much time on this fruitless detour. We were supposed to head to TAkao-san now but actually not long ago my junior,James had called me and said that he wanna join us watching red leaves too. The day is already getting late..if we wait...we might end up getting nothing today.So, we indulged into a conversation sounds as following

me : so how? wanna wait for him?
LYK : it is bad to leave him isnt it?
KLE : arent you the one who ask him to come out?
..........................Out of a sudden............................................
HBC :

me : mm...okla, we leave him here but lets wait for him on the mountain.
HBC : how about you 2, we just need another vote ??
LYK : not good leh ...mm...
KLE : I vote on waiting for him.
............................this make it tie at 2-2.................................
me : Okla..lets risk ourself of not seeing red leaves but we must wait for him.

so this is how our second bad event of the day get started.We simply wasted our time walking around waiting for his arrival.

Finally we reached Takao-san. There is this great museum of art we wanted to enter but since we were running out of time so we decided to head for the top of the mountain 1st. At this point, we almost missed the last lift trip up if hadn't James ran all the way from railway station. As a result ,our red leaves sightseeing trip which was supposed to be our main turned into a shortened trip of " RUNNING, SNAPPING, RUNNING, SNAPPING, RUNNING, SNAPPING" all the way to the top. And still this is what we can get :( Me with the late-boy.Isnt it a bit dark?? Isnt it fully dark now? sorry to say this, but aren't the guy second from right appears like his face got rubbed by an eraser :p
With only half satisfaction, we went downhill only to find out that the museum is already close..OMG bad luck struck again.It is a magic art museum and this is a 2D picture at the entrance.Finally we ended our trip with a nice dinner in an Italian restaurant i suggested.
NExt month I will be very busy especially because of MALAYSIA NIGHT 2007 !! PLease everybody support me and confirm your attendance. Here is the official poster :) Waiting for you :)

萌え = moe!

The word "moe" is not even in my electronic dictionary but for those who learn japanese or stay in japan it is a word that nobody don't know. Loosely translated it should be something like u feel excited or high when u see some particular stuff.For example when a guy who like girl with school uniform , he will feel 'moe' when he does see one. And he will says out the word 'moe' usually to his friend or even in front of the object.
Yesterday,I read a funny post about moe in my japanese friend's blog. One day , he saw some writing on his desk.It is written as following " please write down anything that make you feel moe". And there are already 22 entries.Of course it is written by different person who coincidently sit there. He himself added 3 entries later on. I cant understand the meaning of most of the entries so i asked him to explain to me almost one by one. I found it so interesting that i wanna share it here before i forget.
So here is the list !!

1ツンデレ(tsundere)= someone who will treat u very well but sometimes become very moody and easily get angry. Some sort of hot and cool person...

2ヤンデレ(yandere)= someone with heart problem? always seem dark...

3クーデレ(cool-dere)=someone who is very cool ( can considered quite normal)

4ロリ(rori)=famously refered as rorikon.Someone who likes small young girl.( It is such a serious social problem.Even in Msia cases of raping young girl are on the rise!!)

5ショタ(shota)=It is the same as above just that this refers to someone who like young boy.

6メガネ(megane)=glasses

7妹(imoto)=younger sister

8ババデレ(babadere)=someone who will pamper and treat u like a baby.

9不思議ちゃん(fusigichan)=someone who is strange.

10委員長(iincho)= chairperson

11メイド(meido)= maid ( not those maid in Msia, it is maid who wear costume as below)

12どじっ娘(dojikko)= Very careless girl.For example: someone who always break stuff no matter how many times you warn her.Basically cant be cured.

13にぱー☆(nipa-)= i dont really understand this:( He said that it is a word that quite famous among young kid now.

14つるべた(tsurubeta)=airport= the opposite of big breast

15姉(ane)= elder sister

16制服(seifuku)=costume , basically refers to school uniform.

17ブルマ(buruma)= short short. Almost the same like one a marathon runner wears.

18スク水(sukumizu)=japanese high school girl's swimwear

19スパッツ(subattsu)=tight clothing

20チアコス(chiakosu)= Cheerleader cosplay

21獣耳(kemonomimi)=girls with beast ears!! Of course it only exists in anime world.

22黒スト(kurosuto)=black stoking

Now i'm one step closer to understand why many peoples think that japanese man is hentai. But i feel that all man or even woman must have their own preference type of opposite sex just that they are not as specific as japanese and as open as them to talk it out.Me too have my own "moe" button. So do you have one?

School trip to Kamakura

2007-11-12T21:55:00.000+09:00

For the last 2 days , I had another great weekend. On Saturday I joined my school trip to Kamakura where Japan biggest outdoor Buddha Statue calls home. I had read about the statue story long time ago. But after almost 3 years, now only i have the chance to pay a visit.How big is it? It's height is around 7 m.

mmm...it is not as big as what I have expected!!

There is this temple where i drew a fortune slip. What a disappointment, i drew a「凶」 slip which means bad luck.My teachers and friends brushed it away and advised me not to be so superstitious. I am never a superstitious guy but hey it just simply lingers in my mind.How can someone easily forget that he got a bad luck slip..can u ?? I tried to forget it and continue my trip happily. Hiking in the mountain , walk here and there then our trip ended at around 3pm. Here is our group photo.

Then , it is time to buy souvenir. It is a japanese culture to buy souvenir whenever u go visit some places.Anyway i bought a cookie called "hatosabuure" which is famous there. It is something like the picture below.

Little did i know that this very cookie will create a mystery to me.

After that, everybody followed school bus back home except me, Doink and my nihongo sensei.That evening i have meeting in Tokyo area so i continued my trip to Tokyo. While waiting for the meeting starts, I coincidently saw my friend who i havent seen for months. Was so suprised and happy to see her after such a long tme. Meeting ended successfully and my next stop was my senior house.
The next day went back and straight to my school lab to do experiment yet again :(
I left my souvenir in my room unattended and i didnt even lock my room. It is a norm for me to practice open door policy. :)
After such a hard day, i can finally go back to my room to seek some rest. When i entered my room, i saw one of my cookie missing.

Oh my god, someone eaten my cookie without permission.Of course I dont mind if u take but please at least throw away the plastic bag and the thief even left this paper on my table:

It reads 「盗難届け」. It is a form where people fills to report missing valuabes. How daring is this guy !!!! Is he trying to challenge me !! but i like this thief, he has good sense..haha!! I suspect he must be someone near me.I asked some of friends today, but all of them denied and just praised the thief.What , i am the victim la please !! So after all the bad fortune slip was true.

Research day

2007-11-08T23:10:00.000+09:00

For the whole day today,i was doing T-N experiment. Simply said it is an experiment to test water quality. For the 1st time, i felt the usefulness of stuffs i do in my research lab. Actually there is this NPO who pays us to test the seawater quality for them. They are planning to do something in the sea..i heard maybe to breed some dolphins??
Finally my technical skill has come to use. Feel a bit proud but nonetheless worry too as it is not a normal school experiment where u can simply give any stupid excuses for wrong data. Wrong data will misleads or even dampen my school lab reputation. I successfully completed my experiment but still face the possibility to redo it if the data doesn't match with other experiments my companion did. Doing is hard but washing is even harder.It inflicted some back pain on me :(

finally can afford to take a picture...

But tomorrow , i still have to help my friend who failed in his experiment :( isyhhh...he is just so careless !!
by the way , here is a picture of me and the main culprit who change my face till halfway...she was planning to apply lipstick, faux eyelid , etc onto me!! luckily god save me..haha

so how ?

bunkasai - My school open day

2007-10-30T20:14:00.000+09:00

Last weekend was my school open day. It means that everybody can come in without any security check. Isnt it the best time for terrorist attack ?? And if any terror attack were to happen then we are sure to be the first one to be suspected as we are foreigners. Instead of planning a terrorist attack we foreigner students ( or in japanese : ryugakusei ) came together to open a stall to earn some money. We simply name our stall "international station" and our products are tomyum-mee and chrysanthemum tea. Unlike years before we even made our original T-shirt this time. We are trying on our products. It is so delicious that everybody is too busy to look at the camera. Can't see the image on the T-shirt ?? Here is a clearer image !! Isnt it a catchy slogan and some of us even too embarass to wear it..hehe !! By the way , this guy is our best promotor of all time. He is too good that he sells way faster than we can even make. Indirectly it caused tension in our camp to prepare fastly. Few accidents happened where customers complained that our noodle was too hard. I was the cooker and this made me felt sorry.

On the first day, disaster struck. Raining heavily whole day. And around evening typhoon came.Ya..you got me right it was Typhoon !! Of course it wasn't as destructive as hurricane Katherine but it was still strong enough to end the life of 2 of my umbrellas. :(

R.I.P. My umbrella turned like this within seconds.

Typhoon stopped train service and by taking no risk all following activities were CANCELLED. Yeah, the so called man-dress-like-woman contest was cancelled too. They should have made this decision much earlier. I was in the middle of making up. For more than 30 minutes , my face belonged to my classmate. She without sympathy conteng here and there and denied me the right to look on my face during the making-up process. Think of it, it was quite scary. As it was only halfway, i didnt take any picture but she did.Currently waiting for the picture from her. Actually the day before i do tried on the outfit to make sure that it fits me.

Does it fit me ? With some make-up and fake F-size boobs i was supposed to be the hottest nurse on earth. :p haha...!!

The next day , weather clears up and we succesfully overturn our modal and earned SOME money.

Our humble stall.

The best workers.

So my final kosen-sai ended with me failing to show my feminine side. Overall it was really a memorable one and thanks to everyone who makes this event successful.

Presentation on my research work

2007-10-18T19:15:00.000+09:00

I presented my research work on Tuesday and luckily it turns out fine. Anyway there is a huge problem on what to do next !! Me and my partner wanna do something else but my lecturer just dont let us do. He basically deny all of our ideas and always think that he is on the right side. What a brainless or should i say self-arrogant person. Sometimes what he says dont even make sense !! Feel like arguing with him but i can sense that if i do so there will be no ending. He can nag on me and my partner for over 90 minutes !! When the ending is coming my partner sigh then my teacher got fired up and continue for another 15 minutes. Finally i cant stand anymore and excuse myself to toilet. Only then he realised that he had talked nonsense for so long. Wake up la... I always wonder how come people like this can become a teacher in research work. He never understand the spirit of research work...he just do everything to his liking but not base on scientific facts. Thinking of him makes me sick....Now I just cant wait to go to University next year and do research that i have always wanted and long for.

Set aside those bad experiences , actually this month there are many fun events ahead. There is motorshow in my area and my college open day. Me and my gangs are planning to open a stall and we had our own uniform equipped with catchy slogan ordered too. That night itself im gonna enter a man-dress-like-woman contest !! Such a embarassing contest right?? Most of the people will think like that - I assume. As no one from my class dare enough to do it ...so to me it is like " why not ? It is my final year in college and i should leave something to be remembered right"

Please be my judge !! This is my picture when i dress normally !! My contest will be on next Saturday :) !!

another casual outing

2007-10-09T22:31:00.000+09:00

Three days holiday has come again!! how can i stay in my room only...can u ?? But 3 days are too short to go faraway (was impossibly planning to go to hokkaido or shirakawago) At the end, I settled down my plan just to visit and stay over at my friends' place. It is not that their place not interesting just that i have been there for more than 3 times..haha !! Anyway they have a new shopping complex there but without offense to me it is just another shopping place.
Had a simple party that night. I made some sushi myself ...does it look tasty to you ?Dont be deceived by how it looks ! As part of a mini game, i put a lot of wasabi in some of it. I actually ate one of the super hot wasabi...so stupid of me isnt it? made a trap and get myself into it :p I should have remember which one is the hot one...issyhhhh

Then it is time for traditional "kanpai" = cheers !!
These cups look lame isnt it ? not something to fill in alcohol right...hehe

By the way , it is believed that this tradition comes from england war time era when spying and assassination is so feared that when drinking with enemies or even friends they practiced this custom so that the water in both cups will mix together. Then off course if there is poison in either one of the cup both will die. Simply said it is started as a precaution step to prevent drink poisoning.

Back to my story,the next day I went to ustunomiya where i had some the so-called best "gyoza " in japan.
just look like normal gyoza right ? it tasted as one too...

Then my friend went to shopping. Girls really like shopping . Me and another 2 guys having nothing better to do had a detour to a nearby japanese temple. Then at around late evening, we went back and before that had some pictures taken. Can u guess what am i doing in the picture?

a. I just collected a garbage ?
b. Just too tired to stand.
C. trying to look cool ?
d. was preparing to give my friend a piggyback ride.

At night play some card games and then the very next day , after delaying few times finally reached my place at late night. Yush , cant wait for the next weekend !!

casual outing

2007-10-01T18:49:00.001+09:00

Is it autumn has already started ?? It is getting cooler and cooler and i prefer the weather to be like this :) I just finished my exam last friday and to relax myself abit i called my friends and organized a simple hanabi ( fireworks observation) outing. As usual it is planned at the last minute.Luckily again i managed to get enough sporting peoples. Although it was raining that day , we still had a great time together. Got to know some super senpai.

The members. You should know who am i right? i dont really like this picture as the angle taken doesn't make me look cool..hehe !!
But as i didn't bring my own camera, i don't have any other choices.

After that we went to senpai's house and a friend of her was so lovely that she served us mooncake. I really love it as it has been 3 years since the last time i have one. Then senpai started to talk about japanese sex life which turned out to be quite educational to me...haha.
Next me and 2 friends headed to another senpai house. There we spent a night and played cards until 3-4 in the morning. I was so lucky that night to won quite a lot :) But out of sympathy i foot the bill for my friend's dinner on the next day.( actually i believe that by giving back i can win more next time..hehe ) Then before going back home , spent some time shopping for autumn clothing in Harajuku, the so called japanese fashion street.

as u can see here rain is not a problem to them but fashion is

till next time....

tokyo game show 2007

2007-09-24T14:56:00.000+09:00

Im in the middle of year-end semester exam but there is no reason not to have fun right ??

So I went to the famous one of only two game shows in the world. I am not an avid gamer as I am 5-6 years ago. Lately I am abit outdated from the game world but nonetheless i still enjoyed the gameshow.

Though I have to admit that cosplay which is the side show ( or to some it is the mainshow :p) was really interesting. HEre is pic of a girl I took and she told me not to spread it or blog it...who cares...hehe !! Then off course there are many who like to be taken...

There are still a lot of great cosplays but for long i havent equip myself with my camera so i can only take limited pictures with my handphone. MY camera's battery is lousy which can only lasts at most 1 hour :(

By the way , anyone here knows japanese idol,ASami ?? I was so lucky to win in a small competition and got a fan from her with her signature on it !! But the problem is I dont who is she and will never be a fan of her. Still it is such a waste to throw it away right ? anyone interested ??

she is so heavily surrounded by her fan so i can only manage her side photo !!looks familiar to you ?

i conquered Mt Fuji - shirtless

2007-09-20T23:34:00.000+09:00

It is the highest mountain in Japan. The weather is harsh on the top. EAsily around 2-3 degrees or even below freezing point. But I and one of my equally crazy friend conquered it without our shirt on...haha !! CAnt u feel the difference looking on what other people are wearing ?
PS: Dont try it. I caught a cold straight after that !!

phew...i found you back !!

2007-09-20T22:07:00.000+09:00

It is not long since the last time i posted an article but i had hard time finding back my this site !!
I dont know why.Maybe, because i started this blog just purely to waste some of my time. So i didnt even really try to remember the passwords and username i set at first. Anyway luckily today all of a sudden i succesfully recalled everything . So I decided to write a post.

..............................................................................................................................................................................

1st of all , i am on cloud nine as i passed Tokodai. It is considered as the best among the University which got engineering course only. It is like what MIT is to US . So i will be staying in the middle of Tokyo starting next year. One of the hippest and biggest city in the world. I can imagine that i will be enjoying it though im sure that i will be busy studying too. But i have confidence that i can deal it well :) But is it the right choice to stay in Tokyo ? much more money will be spend...this is where many people gain stress in their life...there might be big earthquake coming... But to me no where else can beat tokyo !! why ? i am still searching the answer...or maybe u can tell me !!

what the heck ?!

2007-07-20T19:31:00.000+09:00

ouch , i had a bad day today :(
Today suppose to be a good day as it is the last day of school before summer break.
mm...well it is not the case for me :(

As the summer break starts today , a big scale assembly is held. The same case like back in msia the assembly is full of boring talks by headmaster , discipline teacher etc...so i felt so boring that I actually lie down and slept in the assembly hall. Then there is this guy ( my class monitor ) suddenly shout at me and ask me to get up !! Hey ..who the heck are you !! You are the one who always sleep in the class during lesson !! I know u like attention..he is the one who always trying to make fun of others so he can attract attention to him. You know those kind of classical brat kid who longed for attention . Ya I know it is my fault to sleep at those time but hey is there a need to shout and whats so big deal about it !! I just kept silence as i don't trouble trouble unless trouble troubles me. Just really feel sick thinking of it. Grrrrr.......

Then after that it is another small meeting in my lab room. My teacher gave us so many stuffs to do in the summer holiday which means my summer holiday is gone. I still have to study for my exam...arghhh !! Next when Im finally back at my room , i made mistake on writing some very important stuff !! Have to take another new application form. Such a bad day..dont u agree ? At least give me some happiness tonight......

The second

2007-07-19T23:51:00.001+09:00

So as expected i passed Gidai. Of course Im happy but not very. I dont know why. Actually I really like this school as i can do my favourite research there and i believe it will one day ultimately become useful to this society. Unfortunately ,people normally will look down on this school , just because it is comparatively easy to enter . Why ? Should I care ? Anyway I think i will give a try on other universities too just to at least make sure i wont regret in the future. I wanna live to my heart , i dont wanna lie to him . I know my heart want it so I will try but of course I understand that attempt doesnt necessarily mean success. However , I just cant understand why i cant really concentrate into something for a long time. I need concentration !! I know if i do i can !! But on the same time , I dont like putting excess pressures into my life so I just wanna try hard but not too hard. Sounds like a loser ? So be it ....I have my own way to success. I believe that if we have a aim , sooner or later we will reach it !! One simple rule , practice good attitude.

The first

2007-07-17T17:30:00.000+09:00

I am not a blogger and I dont want to be one. Just wanna spend some time to practice my english here maybe. Anyway i was never good in writing and i prefer to use my mouth most of the time.
What should i write ? mm...lately i have been busy studying for university entrance exam with most of time spend in front of the desk. Of course my laptop is on my desk too. So if im not on my book then im on the net !! I wanna go outside and enjoy the coming summer holiday. Sometimes I do wonder why do i have to force myself to study so hard in order to get into so-called "good " university . What if I get into it ? Will it do any good to my future ? place is not a problem but attitude is , isnt it ? Actually i just love city and somewhere near the airport , im trying my luck so that i can spend another 2 years around tokyo.
On the meantime , living in somewhere remote too wont be so bad , isnt it ? At least i can save more money and the people there i assume will be warmer and of course maybe i can concentrate more on my studies or my future research. Again there is no perfect place...i just wanna try and even if i fail just be optimistic and face it. There are many solutions to a problem.
