Day 3. 28th Oct 04

Ohaiyo! Today we went to make our alien card.
Started with a stupid alarm clock that rings at 5am in the morning.
then 6am...then 7am...cool clock. but bad tempered ivan is resurrected.
Hai. Went to get breakfast at the main market area. Went to get a Pao.
Preserved veg and some meat i think...just OISHII!!!
the weather then was damn cold! Today was a freak cold morning...4 degrees...probably at early dawn...
so a nice bun is damn shiok lor!

we went to collect the seal. muahaha...mine's CHEAP!
Hai, so then we met and went to make our Alien reg. Eh..my neighbour is back. 11.33...such is the life of an engineer?
i still can't stop coughing. DAMMIT.
back to the story...went to make alien card. photos and all that.
quite fast. got the chop on the passport as well.

after that, went for lunch at a chinese restaurant.
Haiz, i dont' really want to eat chinese food LEH!
but we went in...cuz i believe, it is the cheapest there.
840 yen was the set A. Oily chicken and jap rice + nice soup+ dessert.
VERY OILY AH! Boonlong was using the serviet to soak the chicken oil.
we went dutch. oh, kawauchi-san showed me the H.I.S. thingy.
going to singapore and staying at hilton for 4 day trip = 32800yen!
cheap.
but i want one without the hotel ley.

after that, we went to the company for "training". basically orientation.
They spoke really slowly. All of us wanted to doze off.
They have coffee machine, milk machine, food machine. all on different floors!
stupid. maybe to be fair.

got my own computer. think they bought a new one for us. how nice!
everything is set up nicely. so if we are assigned to different section, we just move the whole CPU over.
got a locker as well. DIRTY. took a vacuum to clean it.
They also showed us the right way to go home and to work. apparently,
the shortcut has been dangerous. so we were told the correct way to work.
japanese still forget to bring their jacket out when they go out to the cold.

Hai. after that, went shopping with the rest. wanted to get a gift for The 2 nice gentlemen who took care of us.
however, Tsu Tsen decided to offer the 2 boxes of bah guah to them.
problem solved.
then we went our seperate ways to shop. went with BW, YH, J, F, TTT, SN.
had dinner. SALTY dinner. expensive too...700yen...but already one of the cheapest!
maybe we chose a dept. store. bad move.

Yodobashi camera. lots of stuff to shop for. but really quite ex. not as cheap as we thought.
however, camera was quite cheap. around lucky plaza price.
wanted to get hotwater boiler cum storage. 2.2 litre. 3000yen at girls dorm 4-5000yen here. ouch
finally got my lozenges. doroppu in jap.
better get my PDA fixed soon.

after that, went to buy shampoo, recommended by Fiona-san. eh. dunno how power is power. but nice lah.
ah. so went for hot tub soak again. today i tried higher temp. SWEAT AH!
really like sauna. but ok lah. lots of bubbles form on your body when the temp goes high.
now shoik and relaxed...brain drained. loved it.

better sleep liaoz. coughing and disturbing my neighbours.

till tomorrow, Jaa mata ashita.

music: *Hooberstank: The Reason"
love this song. it strikes something in me at least.
but i never saw her before i go. Haiz.

Oyasuminasai!
