I was reading some of the news in Channels NewsAsia when I came across this particular news which was totally unbelievable to me.. Let me just extract some parts of the news...
Austrian incest accused admits abusing daughter
Austria: An elderly Austrian confessed Monday to holding his daughter - now 42 years old - captive for 24 years in a windowless dungeon and fathering her seven children, prosecutors said.
Josef Fritzl, 73, who faces protective custody in the coming days, "admitted building the dungeon and to holding his daughter and three children there," prosecution spokesman Gerhard Sedlacek told AFP
Fritzl's daughter Elisabeth has alleged she was drugged by her father in August 1984 and had been his prisoner ever since, giving birth to seven children in the "dungeon" he built in the basement of his apartment building.
Elisabeth Fritzl and the three other surviving children, aged 5 to 19 and who had until now never seen sunlight, were kept in three cramped underground rooms.
Fritzl legally adopted three of the children when they were still babies, allegedly telling local authorities and his wife Rosemarie, 69 -- with whom he already had seven children -- that his daughter had left them on the doorstep, with letters saying she could not support them.
Elisabeth Fritzl told investigators her mother knew nothing of the sexual abuse she had endured since the age of 11, while the trio who lived with Fritzl and his wife went to school as normal, seemingly unaware that their mother and three other siblings were trapped underground.
This is totally shocking arz. It's like it's even worse than being held as a prisoner lorz. At least prisoners can get to see SUNLIGHT, and can mix around and exercise abit here and there. But then can u imagine those children who were being held captive there since the day they were born till the day they were being rescued.. Omg lar, really hard to believe lorz. I think really is a torture to them. Then I wonder what do they do for past God knows how many yrs in their daily life.. I think the father really shld be shot dead, for doing such a thing to his own daughter and his "children" or shld I say "grandchildren" since it's a case of incest.
And I've been wanting to complain abt how INSENSITIVE Singaporeans can be. As you all know, the public transport will also be jam-packed during peak hours. So everyday on the way to work or on the way home, the trains are always crowded. But the morning train ar.. Okay, I just cant stand those commuters who like to HOLD their newspaper out and read it, as if they are His Majesty or smth like tt. Do they know that it's occupying alot of space? Do they know if that don't read the newspaper, they could actually save ALOT OF SPACE which allow other commuters to get in? Not only that, since the newspaper is so demn big, then it's inevitable that the edges of the newspaper will sometimes like hit(or shld I say touch) your face/ear/neck etc, and the readers seem ignorant that they are causing a nuisance to other ppl. Farking bunch of morons. Really @#$%^&. Gosh, what farkers can they be? And seriosuly, I think i have extremely LOW tolerance level for old ppl, or shld I say the obasan/ojisan who always seem to be SLOW in their movement, or I donno are they acting blur or what when I say "EXCUSE ME" to let me squeeze out of the train at City Hall Station. Nvm, it's okay, then don blame me if I have to BARGE my way out, I don care whether you are reading newspaper, deaf or you are SENIOR CITIZEN.
And likewise, I think my patience level is not very high when I'm at home. I extremely hate it when ppl likes to ask me ques "just for the sake of asking", which seriously is none of their concern. I feel that I don't need to account my actions or whatever shit to anyone. As long I have MONEY, I feel that it's more than enough. With money, I can buy so many things and to use it for other purposes. If not for money, why shld I make myself work like a dog, having a 8 to 5 job and then still have 3 tuition assignments and on top of that, having to go for lesson, do my jap HW, and revise for that farking JLPT3. Ever since I started working in starhub, I really donno when was the last time I sit down properly in front of a TV to watch a show. Probably nowadays I only watch like less that 1hr of TV a week? And who understands how blardy tired it is to teach tuition on a weekday night after a day's work? Who understands how hard it is to try to meet my "20 hrs of Japanese study a week" goal, just so that I can stick closely to my schedule (syllabus) which I already plan for the year? Blardy shit. And even on public holiday when I thought I can finally "rest", my student still wan me to teach tuition cuz it's exam period now. But still, having said all these, life still goes on. Even though how much I hate having to study after work, I still have to do it. Nvm, as long as I know what I'm doing, I feel that all these sacrfices are worth it.

I realised I have quite limited clothes, everyday also wear the same old ones to work, until I also quite sick of it. And so juz now I went to Bugis after Japanese lesson to buy a thumbdrive + electronic shaver which cost me like $100. -_-''' AND I SAW ALOT OF NICE CLOTHES LORZ. OMG, I'm so tempted to buy... (Especially when I see is import from 日本) But then nvm, I think I will devote like $200 to buying new clothes for myself when I receive the $200 on 30th April for the GST offset thingyi. (AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE 1st JULY, omg, money faster come!!) HAIZ, I feel I'm so pathetic nowadays. When can I ever break out of this vicious cycle of being a poor guy? And I think I spend like perhaps more than 1K purely on Japanese education (dict + course fees + books etc) in March+April. Omg, that's alot, I mean for a poor guy for me... I'm glad I never give up on tuition although everytime I'm so tempted to as I'm REALLY tired after work to teach (during weekdays) and then on weekends it will be eating into my Japanese study time. BUT THE THOUGHT OF $$$$$$$$$$ will make me conclude "If u quit, u r so gonna be more broke than now" HAIZ....

So on 26th April, the Olympic torch will be at its 18th stop, Nagano; Japan, as it will be flown from Canberra(Australia). All right, I just don't care watever Pro-China or Pro-Tibet, as far as Japan is concern, I'm pro-Japan. So hope those 2 groups will stop making a nuisance of themselves, allowing the torch relay to be a successful one. And God damns whoever go vandalise one of the prominet temple in Nagano. Idiotic Bakana. But looking at the chaotic situation during the relay in Canberra, where the pro-China and pro-Tibet groups are making so much trouble, I really really doubt it will be a peaceful one in Japan 2 days later. Haiz.

During work, I always try to find time to read the Channel NewsAsia website to keep myself updated on some of "big news" happening. And as most ppl know, the Olympic news cover quite a large proportion of the new. E.g The Ah Tiongs are boy-cotting the 100++ Carrefour outlets.
Owellz, got this from the Channel NewsAsia website:
"China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to the honour, foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said in a statement posted on the ministry's website. "This interferes rudely with China's internal affairs and seriously harms the Sino-French relationship, and in particular the existing friendly ties between Paris and Beijing." The Chinese reaction came a day after the Paris councillors voted to award honorary citizenship to the Dalai Lama, and follows a series of anti-France rallies in China in recent days, triggered partly by a threat by President Nicolas Sarkozy to stay away from the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony. In her statement, Jiang singled out anti-Chinese protests during the Paris leg of the torch relay, saying those tumultuous scenes had "hurt the Chinese people's feelings." "The fact that this moment the Paris city council decides to make the Dalai Lama an honorary citizen can only be seen as a serious challenge to 1.3 billion Chinese including Tibetans," she said.
To be frank, I don't see any reason why China should kaopei so much when France decides to award citizenship to Dalai Lama. Like piangz, since China forced Dalai Lama not to be able to return to his own homeland; Tibet (on exile), making him having to "take refuge" in other countries for the past decades, then I don see why China wan to make so much noise when a country wants to give citizenship to him. And I think it's very childish of the Chinese to even think of boy-cotting French giant supermarket Carrefour.
Okay, I guess my strong feelings towards Ah Tiongs can boil down to my working place, which happened to be where Kaplan campus is. As I think like 90% of the students in Kaplan are Ah Tiongs, so everytime when I use the lift, it's INEVITABLE I will bump into a large group of them, regardless of the time. And seriously, I think they really got no basic manner. Example, they TALK so loudy as if they are making announcements. Then a LARGE group of them will stand at the Level1 Lift Lobby, obviously creating a LARGE road-block for many other ppl who try to walk past. Also, they take AGES to decide whether they wan to take the lift anot, in the process wasting other ppl's PRECIOUS TIME in waiting for them, and whoever stands near the button must PRESS the OPEN button and wait for them to decide. These are just some of the unpleasant events that cause me to have such negative feelings towards them. Wellz, don't blame me for saying all these. Blame themselves for being so.. erm.. ill-mannered. Watever.

I think I cnt stand one baka idiot in my class. NO MANNERS.
So this is wat happened, during lesson, my friend and I were toking abt some stupid joke, so we were like laughing softly arz... Then I think my sensei saw me so she suddenly ask me:
Wei Yang さん、指定席券の意味は 何ですか。Omg, it's a new vocab, and I didn't know the meaning, so I quickly try to punch in the word into my electronic dict while I was saying "言葉の 意味は....... ちょっと 待って (while I was still busying checking wat the hell is tt word)" THEN SUDDENLY THIS MAD GUY STARTED LAUGHING SO LOUDLY, as he thinks like I'm trying to say the meaning is CHOTTO MATTE!? Hello, I was more of trying to stall for time b4 I say out the meaning, then obviously I'm not that STUPID to actually say tt. And seriously, I donno wat's so FUNNY abt that, nobody laughed except him. Really pissed me off man. Stupid 猿男。Owellz, watever, not that I ever tok to him b4.
And I spent another $170 at Kinokuniya. Ogosh, bought 5 books.... One of them is Business Japanese (Part 1). Perhaps I shld start to self-study for it so that I can take BJT a few yrs down the road... But when I see the 1st page, OMG, it's all in my "favourite" 敬語... Haiz, wat to do, to work in a Japanese environment and not knowing Keigo is like telling ppl u work in an English company but don't even know A to Z. Sighz.

So I went for my check-up at NTU on Tues. Wah piangz, SO FAST finish liaoz. Okay lar, I mean I thought it will take half a day or watz.. But I only took 1 hr then finish liaoz. Owellz, better still, so when it ended at 9am, I juz went to the NTU popular bookstore to look look around. Then I saw a TB; "Taxation in Singapore". Being boliao, I flipped a few pages n juz put back cuz it's totally alien to me.
And spent the whole Tues afternoon mugging Japanese yet again.
I was looking at some book retailing website and feel like buying 4 more Japanese books... Maybe must order thru Kino again. BUT THESE 4 BOOKS WILL COST ME LIKE $150!? 1 of the books is actually "introduction" to prepare for BJPT (Business Japanese Proficiency Test), which is more geared towards your Jap Biz knowledge (obviously) which I think will be another stage of horror for me. HAIZ, y am I always spending n spending but my earning seems to be so stagnant? But nevertheless, I won't hesistate to spend $$$$$ on my Japanese education even if it cost me so much $$. Owellz...

Sometimes you will just feel that no one else matters except youself. Family? Friends? Colleagues? Classmates? WHATEVER! At the end of the day, who's going to help solve all the shit other then yourself? It's okay. I shall be independent. I shall solve my own problems. I SHALL LEAD MY OWN LIFE. Even if the whole world turns against me, I shall stand up against them.

Today's lesson was OWNING. Wtf, 4 pages worth of vocab words?????????????????????????? In the past, vocab words are covered in Lecture only. BUT NOW, it's both LECTURE and TUTORIAL. Ogosh.. And Naomi sensei was saying that from now onwards, she will not "spoon-feed" us anymore. Must check the dictionary ourself n if really don understand then ask her. Haiz, y such a drastic change? And today's hw.. No joke.. I CAN'T EVEN DO A SINGLE QUES AFTER STARING FOR SO LONG.. I don even know how to START lorz.. I thought maybe I got dictionary still can help.. But wtf, with dictionary I still DONNO how to do. Am I just plain stupid or watz? Haiz. I decided to wait till Friday then I will "attempt" the hw again, if not next lesson must hand in. And the class is so demn big now, 19 students. Wtf.. Last time only like 9 or 10 students lorz. And there's 2 new students who me and my "old classmates" were toking abt, THEY TALK SUPER DUPER FAST CAN? We even think they talk faster than the sensei, AND WE SERIOUSLY think they shldn't be in this class, cuz they are seriously WAY WAY WAY BETTER than most of us. Can you imagine they can tok to the sensei for like 5 minutes conversation and we couldn't even understand like 5% of wat they r toking abt? Like our jaws simply dropped when we see how the 2 of them interact with the senseis, and obviously we are in our own wonderland lorz. And 1 of them had a Japanese husband. HUHZ? CANNOT ASK YOUR HUSBAND TO TEACH MEH? Wah laoz, like so demn @#$%^& lorz. No offence to them, but I think they majiam join this class to make us feel stupid only. =X. For once I really felt abit of "threat" in this new class, like some of them r so pro lar. But I do wonder izzit cuz I'm stupid lar.. Maybe lar..
CANNOT LAR NG WEI YANG! DO YOU KNOW HOW CUI YOUR JAPANESE IS? YOU BETTER SPEND 3 HOURS STUDYING JAPANESE EVERYDAY IF NOT YOU ARE GONNA GET THRASHED BY THOSE PPL CAN!? STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!! 勉強しろ 勉強しろ 勉強しろ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pardon for being so paranoid, but as far as Japanese is concern, I simply can't stand those ppl who are so PRO lar, Anyway, I think I better revise my "basic foundation" of Minna No Nihongo L.1 to L.50 thoroughly AGAIN first b4 I start attempting the @#$%^&* homework.

The JLPT vocab words list which I found on the net... My gosh, tons of GLARING errors. I mean while I was going through the JLPT4 and JLPT3 words. Even basic Kanji can write wrongly, AND EVEN USE SIMPLIFIED CHINESE. Wtf? Since when Kanji use simplified chinese 1.. Is only traditional chinese.. And some of the definitions are wrong as well. Haiz, waste my effort.. But nvm, at least I make use of the chance to "correct" the errors and learn in the process (Sumtimes with my beloved 電池辞書) Kanzen Master is like 90% done. So proud of myself -_-''' I realised Keigo ain't that scary at all, I mean wellz, after memorising all the keigo verbs, then its usage isn't tt hard. BUT I STILL HATE chap37 and chap48, which is passive and causative verbs. Balrdy hell, I took ONE WHOLE NIGHT to study these 2 chaps, but I still don really understand, as it needs you to be very clear between 他動詞 and 自動詞, which is @#$%^&*... And best is I realised that's this NEW form called 'passive-causative verbs", which I never learn b4, although it appeared in my JLPT3 kanzen master. Like wtf? I already don understand passive and causative verbs individually, then now come a 2-hit combo of "passive-causative verbs"? Why Japanese got so many forms? Haiz..
And these days I've been listening to DJ Ozma's song, which my dys1 recommended me. OMG.. I love their songs! Although the lyrics words seem quite hard compared to typical pop-song lyrics. but owellz, nvm, got my jisho to decipher the meaning.
And tml's my first JLPT2 lesson. I also donno whether will still be Naomi sensei and Reiko sensei anotz. Hope is them as I think they teach really well! But I scared tml will be 3hrs of "Greek" lesson. And the new JLPT2 TB which cost me $50... No more "Minna No Nihongo".. And did I say I HATE writing 手紙(tegami) and 作文(compo)? But wat to do, JLPT2 will be tons of this.. And I seriously donno y we bother learning to write Chi letters in sec sch. Like wtf, since when in your life have you ever write a PROPER chi letter on those square-boxes paper and like send to somebody, other than the fact we are forced to write them by our chinese teachers during tt 4 yrs of sec sch life. I remember when I finished my A-levels, I was happily telling myself "OMG, no more essay writing for English/Chinese/GP! Yay!" I always write under-length essays and horrible language-usage and watever thingyi" I don't mind writing "essays" generally like Humanities or Bio or watever, cuz it's okay to have grammatical mistakes and it's definitely ok to be "under-length" since there's no min words. But I simply HATE to do corrections for language essays. Sucks to the max.. But now, it's back to square one. HAIZ.. How can I force myself to LOVE writing letter/compo again? Nvm, I shall slowly "generate" my interest in writing Japanese essays and letters and let my senseis vomit blood due to my utter horrid grammar.
And this week I felt an accomplishment in my work. Wahhaz.. My superior received an email from a few managers from other depts saying that "Wei Yang is indeed a very good in work!" (Then continue to describe what the hell did I do to make them feel so satisfied -_-''') Let me start with the history, as my supervisor told me, all along in these FEW YEARS, she said that all the temp staff who were doing my job-scope will 100% kana whack by managers of other depts becuz they always sent emails to the wrong person n pissed them off. But seriously, I also donno wat's so hard abt sending emails correctly to the relevant Account Managers. Very hard meh? And as my supervisor was saying, is very RARE that I nv kana scolded lorz. And to think now I got a compliment from them, all the perm staff in my dept were telling I broke the dept's "record" of being the first person to be praised by them. -_-''' In my opinion I find it abit "kua zhang" arz, cuz I juz see nth special abt my job performance, but to them they say it seems to be "exceeding expectation". Owellz, then it happened the email was sent to my big big big boss, some big shot guy, and he replied say "Then like that we have to try to keep him! Any chance to turn him into perm staff?" I nearly fainted when i saw that, but then again, my supervisor replied to all the other managers that I need to start sch in Aug, so too bad lar. Wahhaaz, but as I was discussing with my supervisor, maybe next yr during my 3 mths holidays, I want to go back StarHub to work! Wahhaz, then she say confirm no prob lor, cuz apparantly the big big big boss know me liaoz, and shld be no issue at all finding a temp job with them next time. =) And I really love my job now, I mean at least the ppl there are quite friendly n interesting. Hahaz. So glad I landed myself in this job at StarHub.

And today I shall devote my WHOLE day studying 日本語, after much procrastination..
It's quite amazing how the JLPT3 syllabus end with what we actually learn in Lesson 1.
In Lesson 1:
1) わたしは Wei Yang です。(I am Wei Yang.)
2) わたしは シンガポールから 来ました。(I come fron Singapore.)
3) わたしは NTUで 勉強して います。(I'm studying in NTU.)
And so in L.50, with my "favourite" 敬語(keigo).....
1) わたくしは WeiYangと もうします。(I am WeiYang.)
2)わたくしは シンガポールから まいりました。(I come from Singapore.)
3)わたくしは NTUで 勉強して おります。(I'm studying in NTU.)
Obviously those expressions in L.50 are used when you talk to your superiors/not that close friend etc, which is like way more polite than what is taught in Lesson 1. But obviously I'm not really a "polite person", so I guess I will prefer to using plain form as opposed to keigo. BUT HAIZ, JLPT2 will involve quite alot Keigo as my sensei said. Why must Japanese ppl be so polite. Even polite also must categorise into different level, like "very polite" to "quite polie" to a little bit polite" and stuff. Demn mafan lar... BUT OWELLZ, SINCE I"M DETERMINED TO MASTER JAPANESE these few years, I have to force myself to love Keigo. *sighz*
And my second newly-made tattoo is "peeling off". I mean cuz it's still a fresh wound, so the dry skin will start coming off. Disgusting arz, but nvm, it shall go off in a few days time and ta-da, it shall be "pleasant" to look at as compared to now. And this 2nd tattoo seems more painful than the first one lar. Wtf, I also donno y... Ogosh, but at least it's over liaoz and it's recovering fast with the medical cream that they provide. I hope Reiko sensei won't scream her head off when she see my tattoo next sat.
All right, back to mugging.

Disgusting arz, but nvm, it shall go off in a few days time and ta-da, it shall be "pleasant" to look at as compared to now. And this 2nd tattoo seems more painful than the first one lar. Wtf, I also donno y... Ogosh, but at least it's over liaoz and it's recovering fast with the medical cream that they provide. I hope Reiko sensei won't scream her head off when she see my tattoo next sat.
All right, back to mugging.

So 3 of my army friends are now in Japan on 7 days trip. Owellz, so jealous of them. Although they tried to persuade me to go with them last yr, but haiz, I didn't go cuz I know I'll be working n most imptly, NO MONEY.
So their trip is fly to Osaka first, then travel down to Tokyo. Sounds like my 3rd trip to Japan last time. Along the way passed by Nagoya (which is in the middle of Tokyo n Osaka), which is an old and boring city. Yes, I also agree, cuz other than that Nagoya castle, I donno wat else to see/do in Nagoya. And now is 春。Shiok, they got to see cherry blossom. Haiz, I always go during winter cuz I just wan to see snow and experience that COLD WEATHER. But I think every season got it's own beauty lar. (except summer) And everyday my friend sms me like what they did in Japan n stuff, exploring the subway and stuff. Ogosh, I have never taken a "MRT" ride in Japan lar. -_-''' But at least they get to do lots of shopping, as compared to Hokkaido which is so demn ulu and NOTHING to buy except to see snow. At least they get to enjoy a cool spring of abt 12 deg cel. I also want to see "桜が咲く", but NO CHANCE ALREADY lar. Wah laoz, this yr cnt go. Then the next 3 yrs also cannot go see, cuz will be during sch term. HAIZ, earliest also must wait till I grad, n tt's like so demn long. And the places they are goin in Tokyo are quite expected, Ueno park, Ginza and shinjuku etc. SHINJUKU!!!!!!!! Ok, Shinjuku = Orchard of Tokyo. If you think Tokyo is exp, wait till you go to Shinjuku, which is literally juz "see but no money buy" The price tags are demn **blink**blink** arz. HAIZ, but nvm, I asked my friend to buy my military flag. WAHAHAZ. And my friend gave up "engaging in a conversation" with the native Japanese though he's at JLPT2. Okay arz, me n my friend simply hate Keigo (敬語) which the Japanese always use, but we are too "lousy" to use it. Nvm, at least like my friend said "Wow, I finally know my Japanese standard arz. Really hard to have conversation with them". But nvm, it's okay. Not that they go there to have Japanese oral exam. Is go there to enjoy and have fun n shopping.
I must save up lotssssssssss $$$$$$$$$$$ to go Japan next time as well for holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I went to my JC classmate, Desmond's chalet just now. Farking hell, it was such a NIGHTMARE arz. I didn't expect it to turn out to be a "Drink till drunk" kind of party. I'm pretty sure there's at least 100++ cans of carlsberg and like 20 to 30 bottles of Martell/Vodka. Holy shit, I swear I nearly died there, and that's y I quickly took my friend's car to escape from the terror. And best of all, I DIDN'T KNOW THE BIRTHDAY BOY'S ALCOHOL TOLERANCE IS SO DEMN HIGH LAR! Kns, initially we entertained him by juz drinking a few cans. Wtf, he go mixed martell with some vodka and God knows whatever shit AND MAKE US DRINK. Wtf, I think today was the most amt of alcohol I ever consumed in my whole life, perhaps like 7 to 8 cans of carlsberg plus a few cups of "mixed vodka+beer+martell". And I have a farking idiotic classmate called DERREN TEO, who challenged all the uncles in drinking alcohol, and I think he perhaps drank like 20 cans worth of beer/martell. Blardy shit, I KNOW HIS TOLERANCE LEVEL HIGH lar, BUT CAN U FARKING HELL DON'T PUKE NEXT TO ME. Omg, I nearly wanted to slaughter him, but luckily he didn't puke on me. And AFTER LIKE DRINKING SO MUCH, AND THEN VOMITTED GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES, HE STILL CAN BE QUITE SOBER. Wellz, unbelievable. And yalar, towards the end I really couldn't take it, so when the birthday boy was FORCING everyone to drink, while he's STARING at another person to make sure he drank the whole cup, I juz pretend to have "shaky hands" and pour away abit. WAHAHAZ, yalar, i know demn loser act. BUT SOME OF THE GUYS COULDN'T take it as well liao lar. AND THE BIRTHDAY BOY SEEMS AS IF HE HAVEN DRANK ALCOHOL YET. Ogosh, faint. Although I wanted to stay over night, but looking at the rate we are drinking, I guess I will probably die there. While I was in my friend's car, I DON'T DARE TELL HER I WANTED TO PUKE SO MUCH.. Putting an act that "Aiyaz, nvm, I can take it". But the moment I dropped off from the car at kembangan mrt station..... PUKE*PUKE*PUKE like fark lar. Lucky I didn't puke in my friend's car, if not she would have slaughtered me. Wah laoz, kns. Okay lar, I know my alcohol tolerance not high, but today they really stretched my limit to a "higher level". Owellz, at least not DRUNK, juz puke kind of state. And looking at the time now, I guessed most of them are probably still DRINKING n DRINKING like nobody's business. Haiz. faint.

Alas, the tuition centre that I'm teaching at will be shifting to Kembangan plaza, which is like 3 mins walk away from home. That's good for me as I DON'T HAVE to wait for that stupid bus 42 that comes at a frequency of 1 bus per 20 mins.
And a few days ago I went online to CANCEL my driving test. Yes, pls don't ask me why. I just want to stop learning driving. Fark it if I have to take public transport to school. Whatever, so be it. I just want to get over this 3 yrs and fark off.
And my Jap sch sms me just now to remind me to pay sch fees for the new term. Ogosh, luckily it's starting on 12th April, so next Sat can rest at home and best is I can do the payment after I got my tuition/starhub pay cuz I'm simply a BROKE now. And yesterday I happened to chance upon this AMAZING website that contains the list of JLPT4 to JLPT1 vocab words to download(excel). Ogosh, of course I d/l all of them 1st, juz in case in future I can't access that website of smth like tt. And also there's a website that offers FREE d/l of JLPT papers with answers. That's so good, since I can save $$$$$$$$$$$ on my TYS liaoz. Lolx.
Let's see:
JLPT4 - 724 words
JLPT3 - 682 words
JLPT2 - 3707 words
JLPT1 - 2976 words
TOTAL = 8089 words.
Owellz, actually I donno where the other 2000 words go to since there's supposed to be 10000 words. But nvm, not as if 8000 words are not enough for me. But luckily with the Kanzen Master Kanji book (JLPT2 + JLPT1), I guess it should be enough to pass the exam arz. So far only "know" that 1500 words till JLPT3. And the additional 3700 words, ogosh, I really must finish memorising by end of next yr. Maybe I should just memo 1700 words by this yr, then next yr finish the remaining 2000 words so that I'm prepared for VOCAB jlpt2 (only). My 180 new grammar structures for JLPT2.... Sigh..
Word harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lao Zaboh
So long nv blog liaoz.
Life's a routine nowadays. It's either work, or tuition, and Jap on Sat. Work-wise, it's quite slack arz. Or I shld say very slack. The only thing I can't stand is this LOUDDDDDDD "lao zaboh" that sits next to me. Even my colleagues can't stand her. This "lao zaboh" doesn't belong to my dept, but since we are all in those kind of open cubicles type office, sumhow she is considered to be seated next to me, probably 0.5m away from me? Of cuz for the barrier, but when stand up can see each other clearly. Anyway, this "lao zaboh", my goodness, her volume is SO LOUD as if she's making announcement to everyone to hear. And obviously her make-up seems as if it is 1cm thick tt kind, like some doll, which looks freaking ugly. And such a big fat liar. She was busy chatting with her child's teacher but she actually LIED she was toking to a customer. Lolx, wth... Die man, I can't imagine the next 4++ months HEARING her voice all the time. Even I listen to my mp3 player still can hear her words so clearly, that explains how irritating it can be seated next to her. Not that I want to know her, BUT IT'S LIKE I CAN HEAR HER EVERY WORD CLEARLY ARZ. Haiz, nvm, must tahan.
And next Sat will be on chap50! Omg, time flies, and I think I still so cui. I seems to forget alot of things... And it's time to pay sch fees soon. Haiz, money money money!

Just came back from Kino and spent $600 on a 電池辞書 and 2 books which cost me $72 in total. LUCKILY RIGHT NOW KINO IS HAVING A 20% discount, so from $90 become $72. BUT STILL, I'm probably the poorest guy now. Even before I can start to earn money I'm already in heavy debts. Damn it.
I do believe that whatever I sow in my Japanese Education now shall reap in the near future.

So I told my sensei: "先生、私は刺青をしました。それで、日本語の漢字ですね。"
And she was like screaming "ほんとうですか!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????”
So I showed her and she was like "ARZ!!!! とても痛いね!"
But okay lar, I replied 痛くないです。
Then subsequently she was saying how those KAMIKAZA fighters were FORCED to die even though they don wan. And I think I abit lame lar, I said they not VOLUNTEER arz? -_-'''
Okay lar, so the talk on tattoo naturally leads to the topic on Yakuza (mafia/gangster) in Japanese society. How Japanese don't like (or actually scared) of Yakuza. Jialat lar, next time I go Japan 温泉 sure die... Maybe use towel cover. In Japan, some hot spring actually BARRED ppl with tattoo from going in. At 1st I donno y, n according to sensei, she said becuz they scared when let's say 2 ppl of 2 different gang meet each other, then buey song then fight. LOLX. Okay lar, it's possible, since in Hot Spring everyone is totally naked. Then how she talked abt her experience in Japan once, when she was in the hot spring when suddenly another woman with a BIG TATTOO came next to her. SHe was so freaked out that she pretend to slowly "drift" away to another side of the hot spring pool. Lolx... BUT STILL.. I"M NOT A YAKUZA! Okay lar, next time I go onsen really must remember to cover my tattoo to prevent ppl from STARING at my tattoo.... And I defintely don wan to get beaten by some other gang for no apparant reason.
And a new pri.5 student today. Another shocker. The family just moved to Singapore a few months ago, and they seem to know NUTS abt this tiny island called Singapore. And so after tuition, I ended up having a 45min "chat" with the mother, as she has so many ques to ask abt S'pore. Her child good lar, exempted from taking CHinese in PSLE. And ended up the parent ask me if juz take Eng, Sci and Maths will her daughter be disadvantage. But I quite pity her daugher lar, cuz she she was in her native country, she was "forced" to learn intensive English. Then now they juz reached Singapore, the student must learn intensive Chinese lorz, to prepare to take Chi in sec sch. I see her time-table, she has like 4 or 5 CHINESE LESSONS a week!? Gosh, poor thing. N for goodness, I tried speaking to the student in Chi, obviously she think I'm speaking Greek.
Forget to mention that they are from KOREA 韓国. OMG, everyday eat kimchi. And toking to the mother sumtimes is really demn hilarious. She cnt understand my English, I can't understand her English. SO ended up her child became our translator between English n Korean when "chim terms" r used. N best is the mother actually asked "Do u know korean?" Gosh, do my face look I can speak Korean!? Lolx, of cuz cannot arz.
And the mother was like asking me so many thing abt Singapore education. Ask S'pore sec sch study how many years. Take wat exams. I told her O-levels, she also don't understand me. I gave up explaining to her wat is A-level n JCs. I juz say "exam to go uni". Then ask me can she take a korean as mother tongue in PSLE. Piangz, I also donno leh.. I juz say cannot bahz, I don think got. Even O-level also don have korean, so PSLE shld be don have. Aiyaz, then I say nvm arzm learn CHINESE is good. -_-'''''''
And I "think" the child shld be able to understand my "English" or I mean SInglish lar. And obviously they have tons of korean books in their book shelves which seem alien to me. N she was telling me the difference between Singapore n Korea. SUmhow the family came to SIngapore BECAUSE THEY HEARD that S'pore is a very clean n good city. To their horror, Singapore is demn dirty. OF CUZ LAR, Japan n Korea streets are 10000000000000 times cleaner than SIngapore? Everything is Singapore is CHEAP compared to Korea, definitely.. But Singapore housing is very expensive due to property boom. Yalar, true. N best is, she say SHE LOVES THE GOOD SECURITY in SIngapore. I think she still donno the Mas Selamat escaped. Opps... Anyway, I mean she said in Korea, if u r rich, u r easily targetted for like kidnap or robbery n stuff...so very dangerous.. compared to SIngapore. Then she said Singapre wage rate is MUCH LOWER compared to the average in Korea. **blink**blink** next time I go Japan out of job can go Korea work. -_-''''
Okay lar, the 45 minutes chat with the mother (or with the child translating to me) was not bad. At least I learn so many things abt Korea, AND HOW THEY THINK OF SINGAPORE.
Jialat lar. I only know how to speak "Aneong Hasaeyo" and "Kamsa hamida". Must go learn a few more greetings. LOLX.
