Day 7 - Thoughts of the day

yoz! today was a rather boring day. Went to work with Tshush and started to surf web at the office. I saw the emails but i don't have time to reply. was busy searching for my IPAQ stuff. Charging it now, hope it doesn't blow.

We were given an intro to the various technology and stuff. Everyone was tired, so it was a drag. doesn't help that they don't really speak good english, so there was no humour and it was in monotone. Sleep was the only thing i can think of. Dang. The pda ain't working.

After that was web surfing. then more intro. then lunch was curry rice. shiok. but ex. 500yen.
today's weather ain't that bad. Now i knwo why they talk about the weather. Its different EVERYDAY. today was counted as warm. a polo shirt will do. Dinner was settled at a french shop selling pizza and pasta. 665 yen each. Not exactly filling but nice pizzas. hungry
perhaps. there is one topped with those sandwich ham slices and in the middle, they break a raw egg. had 2 of that today. they break it up in front of you and spread it throughout the pizza. Japanese style. Delicious.

Came back to the dorm early today (9pm) and tshush invited me to a game of soccer. So at 10pm, 7 muskerteers went to the park nearby to play soccer. Haha. It was fun. The Kan-cho (dorm master) was so amused with it. i think it's the first time he saw this kinda thingy.
Nice person. Told us to be careful due to the wet ground. And it was true. I slipped near a pond. heh. anyway, i ended up on the team of 3 all the time. the ball fell into the pond. There were still people in the park doing tricks with their BMX bikes. Saw a girl doing it too.

After seeing all the short skirt girls in japan for 1 week, kinda got used to it already. they don't really care about u. Those plump ones still go ahead with the short skirt. they compensated with fair skin. yee....They really like to cycle here as well. With their short skirt, i hope they are wearing something else underneath. Though, i think they get the attention they wanted i guess. ha. Eh. but then again. the nice looking ones aren't the school girls. It's the grown ups. maybe i have aged too. haha. and some of them don't even wear skirts. they show character i guess.
so far, there ain't anything from the high school opp my dorm. too far and timing isn't right anyway.

It gets really boring when there is no internet. Entertainment is counterstrike, which i think is too hard already, and WMP playing music. BORING. Tomorrow going to get my bank account number. Finally can pay for internet!! woohoo!!! i hope it takes a few days. i am getting REALLY desperate for a nice connection in the bunk!!!!Dorm i mean.

i love living alone by the way. there is no one hounding you. you can pretend to sleep and stay in the room and really relax and stone. The temperature in the room is great. just put on more clothes if it's cold. however, the morning gets a little cold, coming out of the nice comfy blanket. But i love it! there is no electric bills to pay for this kinda aircon comfort. it's natural too!
environmental friendly! I will definitely miss this when i get back to singapore. it's something which i cannot get there. BUT i will come back. no matter how great this place is, i still love being with my bros and everyone back in singapore. it's cheaper too. hahaha. (Oh, i just realised wine is cheaper here! heh...totally still in Singapore mode.) Beer and tabacco should be
cheaper i guess.

talking about tabacco. The workplace is filled with it today. DAmmit. how am i going to do anything with the office smelling like zouk on a wednesday mambo night?! i seriously hated it as it was causing some headache. Maybe i shall complain =P
but i guess not. one of the trainer smokes. haha. maybe on my 100th day in japan. =P
Never really liked smokers. though i did try a few times. Well, some friends around me smokes anyway... guessed as much. very telltale signs. sometimes, i guess i am just too "i hope i'm wrong"...but my intuition ain't that sala most of the time. heh

shucks. forgot to check my snail mail box. wonder if the water bills are here. Hehe.
Now, who's in charge of my laundry? why is it still in the basket after so many days?! =)
This living alone thingy IS fun.

the water bill is 7400yen per month?!!? thats about 100 odd per month sing dollar!
i didnt' use the tub today. so warm today. after soccer sommore. i hope it's a mistype.

Ah...time to eat my vitamin C. 500mg from GNC. Courtesy from Jeff's discount card. i realise this one can eat 1-4 per day. time release in 5 hours. luckily never get the dissolving kind. else i would need to employ someone to wash the cup everynight.
(Hey..the sink is pretty SMALL. after putting my toothpaste and brush, hair wax, shaverS, diswashing stuff, there is no more space!)

Ah. bought a Tea light candle, lavender, Bergamot and Cedarwood. Calming. It claims.
Burn already SMELL NOTHING!. chey.

food of the day: nuts from the convinient shop. those with seeweed. OISHII!! but my cough ain't getting better! CHEAP too! 105 yen!!!! the cheapest thing i can get here...=(
damn i finished it. it was meant for 3 days. not 3 hours.

okie. time to brush my teeth. now i let the water run and brush with warm water. SHIOK.
it's better this way for my face too. since the water is "unlimited". but i am a little environmentally concious. so don't worry. i don't waste much water too.

ah. the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly report format is here!!! arrgh...i hate it!!!
why write a report when they don't even really care!. sigh. it was so hard to get a "cost of living in japan" from someone already. still haven't gotten it. oh well. i'm having a paid holiday anyway. i think the subjects are relatively easy. they are going to teach C programming within the first 3 months?? i have already mastered 50% of it. it's going to be a long boring day. Ah. we are supposed to lecture each other sommore. we will be assigned a chapter each, and teach the rest of the TAP trainee. The trainer just watch and correct. i think it would be cool. There won't be hard to understand lectures from japanese. neither will i need to use my even lousier japanese. haha. fun fun. i hope to get the programming part. what else can i do??

ah. time to sleep again. 1230 local time liaoz. Tomorrow gotta wake up at 730am. Sigh. Sleep i need most. but i always feel so nice when i am back in the dorm typing mail, eating, listening to music, just SITTING down. Almost forgot to charge my phone. electricity is very cheap after 11pm. hence, they do most of the boiling at night (hot water). i still leave the light on when i sleep. cuz i tend to wake up at night as it gets colder.

Music of the day: er...now it's 10 oclock Jazz Orchestra3-Groovin_hard. whatever that means. I wonder where i got it from.

okok...thought i wanted a short one. but ended up so "lor sor".
Don't worry guys, i am fine and still am thinking about you guys. (10 seconds each a day) muahaha. oh. the ambulance or fire engine is always activated in this area. siren every single night not just once sommore. will remember to send the photos when i get my 100MBps connection. Muahaha.

oyasuminasai.
