Day 13. 7th Nov 04

Ohaiyo gozaimasu!

Another sunday, today we are going to celebrate jian Long's birthday. The girls are still asleep at 1145. hehe...went to get a set of breakfast today. Some Koiwai Lact Coffee. Tastes okay..milk with coffee...Then tried my handphone barcode scanning thingy...cool! but what's the use i don't know. Cleaned my room today, and washed my clothes. Both for the first time. Clothes in the washing machine of course. Been handwashing my clothes till my muscles big big liaoz. ah, better check the dryer now!!! times up! continue later when i am back. Ciaoz!

Ah, things are getting more and more steady man. Today is Jianlong's birthday. We celebrated with him at an eatery. After that, we went seperate ways, i went with t3 to walk the street after the railway at motosumiyoshi. Along the street, there were lots of stores selling various stuff. ALOT of them. in this 12 days, we didn't venture that far closer to our dorm due to the girls, but now, i think i rather stay around here..haha. there is lots of cheaper stuff here. not singapore cheap, but cheap enough. Heck, the banana is cheap. bought another bunch of 5 for 105 yen. Del Monte! but small, and quite mature already.

After that, met at 230pm at the garden to celebrate Jianlong's birthday. Cut cake, (there was kinda like a shortage, fang yih didn't take), then there is more soccer! all this till around 4+ then went back to dorm. i packed up the room while entertaining Jasmine's "how to get to your dorm". wanted to bathe so much. but i think they are really coming. and they did.
Went to pick them up. Jasmine said they were not there yet, but I heard Fiona at the background of the HP, that she saw the landmark that i was describing. heh. ah, anyway, went there. pick them up, wanted to go to the dorm, they wanted to visit our dorm.
but cannot. they only can go to the visitor lobby. that's all. something about being female.
Then went to eat at Suki"jia". cheap! got salmon for 450, with rice and soup(with meat inside).
Great meal for that price. The salmon got lots of bones though.

After that comes the EXCITING part. we went to buy our bikes. Those you see in the movies with the male lead cycling and the lady behind cuddling. =P anyway, i chose the one with 6 speed gears. 13800yen (15350 total plus extra lock and registration). The other one is 10000 + 500 + 1050. No gears. i think gears are useful when i really want to travel. oh well.
3 of us took the gear ones, calvin(red), winston(grey green like my nokia 6110), mine's grey.
then Damien(champagne) and Shaonan(blue...expected) took the nongear ones.
After much phototaking session, we were on our way back to our dorms with our new bikes.
Cycling isn't that bad here. Lots of people cycle. even schoolgirls and kids.
now i can join them and play play. of course, safety is most important.
i intend to use the bike to cycle to work, and to buy groceries nearby. the basket in front should come in handy. tomorrow i shall start my biking. cool!. 8am. gawd. so early. wonder if its going to be a white elephant. doubt so. i really wanted to have a bike for my sunday grocery shopping, since there is no other way to get the load of cheap food home without any car.

scheherazade playing at the background, brings me this question. Which ones did we play?! hahaha...part 3? err..4?

My ATM card is here liaoz. Looks much better than our POSB ones. no such thing as NETs over here. So everythnig is cash or credit card. but cash is king. Arrgh. that reminds me. i have to ask UOB to reactivate my account. darn.

Oh, went to do my next handwashing today. so much better with my 105yen glove on. but bought the wrong size. S is for ladies with SMALL hands. remember that.

saw a japanese schoolgirl with such a short skirt, she was showing. i tell you, they really boh chup here. this is definitely not the first time. okay, maybe 1 out of 1000 don't bother. you can ask t3 about his band concert. heh. if that was my daughter or something, my head would be spinning (as in angry).

ok, time to go sleep. Another day has passed. with no internet, there is no way to check out the news during the weekends. Newspapers are expensive. 130yen for one set. thin one sommore. Where's their version of TODAY or STREATS?. but i am getting used to the media blackout. there is no stress in this world. i do my stuff, you do your stuff. it's bad, but therapatic. Life seems so much more simpler here. but once i start to access the internet back in the office,
there is so much things to absorb, news, emails, work, notes, research. I have not added in ICQ or MSN. I think i will be so pressed for time.

Ichinotsubo-honcho. that's my bus stop. hehe. just ranting.
SLEEP!
Oyasuminasai. Everyone in singapore, no, i have not forgotten u. i have just forgotten to call back that's all. =P
too lazy to call. the phones aren't near the dorm. the handphone is so ex. the international call is so ex. wait till i get my hands on SKYPE. then we can chat till dawn. just you, and my alarm clock.

a nice song just started. hehe. lets talk more?

There is this girl. The end. hahaha.
eh. wrong song.

Goodnight. May i come back with the same english standard.
i doubt so.
