I think it feels so shiok not to have Japanese lesson on a Saturday afternoon. It's like you suddenly have so much time under your disposal. But I think I have just grown lazier over the time. Received the orientation packages yesterday from NTU ystd.. But I just chucked them one side as I really can't be bothered to go for any of such camps. And most importantly, I think it's really a waste of time to go.

Went out with my Japanese classmates to "Japanese marche" aka Shokudo at Raffles City B1. I didn't know such a place existed till I went ystd. There's so many variety of food there.. Eat until shiok.. Perhaps I will consider going there again some other day. Then after that me and 4 other guys went over to my friend's house to play cards. We were basically too bored and don wan to go home so early. But luckily my friend has a car and can send all of us home at around 230am, since we live so near each other.

A friend of mine will be leaving for Niigata this coming Sep to study his MBA (English medium) for 2 yrs. Wah piangz, shiok lorz.. Cuz he's on donno scholarship or what, then everything is paid for. But the only downside is Tohoku region (where Niigata lies) is the most earthquake-prone in whole of Japan. So kinda dangerous to go there... And Niigata is so ulu lorz. Owellz, nvm.. Can go Japan good liaoz. To be frank, I'm so demn jealous of him lar! Wah laoz, get to go Japan study. But then if I can, I think I won't want to study a MBA (English) in Japan. I find it quite stupid lar.. Given the choice, I will rather study a MBA (Japanese) in Japan lar. Although I think it will be hell, and I don't even know if I can make it anotz, but isn't that the purpose of studying in Japan? To study smth in Japanese medium? Okay lar.. Maybe different ppl got diff objectives, at least study in English medium he also won't be so xiong, still can understand what the hell lecturers are talking abt.

2 of my friends just came back from Japan this week.. And they got so much to complain. Cause they were like "warning" me if want to go holidays with friends, really must choose one who have the "same objectives" with you. In a group, 'A' will want go east, then 'B' say want go west, then 'C' say want go north etc etc. In the end got so much conflicts until spoil the whole holiday mood. Secondly, don't ever go with a group whereby you are the only one who can speak Japanese. Because the rest of the group will tend to rely you too much and tt can get rather pissed off too. Like they say, they go there is to enjoy, not to be your translator. When they take public transport, their friends tend to throw everything to the "Japanese-know-how" person to settle, to find our wat bus/train to take etc etc. When ordering food also same thing, everything throw to that person who speaks Japanese. If it's in 東京、大阪 maybe still can survive on English. But going to ulu cities like 広島、長崎、名古屋 will mean ppl will tend NOT to speak English. And for those who have been to Japan b4, will know that Japanese ppl tend to shun away from you if you talk to them in English, asking for directions. There's only 2 reasons for it, is either they are very scared to speak English to you or they despise us foreigners. But most of the time is the former reason. (Thankfully)

So after hearing all these, I think I will rather go Japan alone for holidays next time. -_-'''
