While I was outside just now, my friend suddenly sms me and say "hey! time-table out liaoz, can check out whether same anotz". Then I recalled my yr3 friends told me b4 in yr1, mostly ur classmates for sem2 will be same as in sem1, since it's fixed. Then I was thinking "aiyaz, should be no need check, sure same class 1"
The classmates that I have this sem, I really think overall they are a nice group of friends to have. Seriously, in such a competitive environment, who is willing to lend u tutorials to copy? who's willing to answer ur queries when all I have to do is sms them n say "paisehz az, can I call u to ask u smth? I donno how to do this this this", who's willing to share IDEAS with u although all of u r from different project groups sumtimes? A normal person will just think "Aiyaz, fuck off lar, u different project grp as me, why shld I share with u" They have "extra notes" that they got from seniors or ppl from other classes, a NORMAL person would just KEEP QUIET and not share with any1. Right? SELF-INTEREST is normal human nature. But they r juz willing to send around although they have nothing to gain by sharing with us. Okay arz, I wouldn't say I'm close to EVERYONE, but can say at least got 5 guys n also some of the gals.
No doubt that the group of friends that I make r really very helpful.
When I checked my time-table just now, I was kinda shocked how come I got 5 days week, when they told me they got 4 days week. At first only a few people, like 4 to 5 of them r online, then all of them got the same time-table, n obviously they were happy. I was still in "self-denial" that perhaps surely got ppl same as me rite? Not so SUAY arz? I was thinking maybe at least got 2 out of 4 modules can same rite? (SELF-DENIAL)
Then more n more ppl came online to check as well, THEN almost the 15 to 20 ppl that were in my sem1 classes are all allocated to the SAME tutorial/sem classes for ALL the modules for next sem2. Shiok. Can do project together.
AND I!? I GOT A FARKING TIME-TABLE THAT WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THEM. DIFFERENT CLASSES FOR ALL THE MODULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were all very shocked and puzzled also lar, then they go ask around other ppl whether same anotz. THEN APPARANTLY like ALL OF THEM ARE TOGETHER for next sem!? ALL GOT THE SAME TUTORIAL CLASS SLOTS!?
Just face up to reality. I kana OUTCASTED from the class. Fark. Why did na-bei sch (NBS) do this to me!? My classmates were all trying to cheer me up say during add/drop then try my luck, at least can join back all of them again. BUT STILL, if originally I am in at least same class with them for 2 modules out of 4, still not too bad. The problem is ALL 4 CLASSES are DIFFERENT!? How on earth am I going to change the time-table. And another issue is, I DON WAN 5 days week lar, kaoz, seriously, take 4 modules only, study 5 days is STUPID.
The thought of having to see TOTALLY new classmates really turn me off. I mean it's okay if EVERYONE doesn't know each other (e.g like when u just enter Uni), so still not tt bad. BUT WAH LAOZ, I really think that the ppl in my "new classes" will already have formed their own cliques and I'm almost confident that I can be a loner for the whole of next sem. Farked-up.
I hate Na-Bei Sch(NBS). NBS sucks. Nevertheless, I shall try my best to ADD-DROP, although chances are slim, since it's all about "fastest finger win the game". While everyone else is happy that they can still be in same class, I'm here looking at what I can do during the add-drop. Sucks.

Technically speaking, exam for sem1 has come to an end. And I REALLY HATE Financial Management to the max. !#%%$#%&^&. AB102 SUCKS. I don't care if people from non-business/accounting degrees have been telling me how EASY it is to get A+ or A for finance, it's obvious that I happened to be in the minority. And it doesn't help to know that 2 days ago, the coordinator decided to put our 20% project grade up on the internet, to find out how my group has done WAY BELOW cohort average and it's really cui lar. Thank goodness this is the ONE and ONLY ONE finance module I'm taking....
And so next Sunday I'm having JLPT3. Taking into account I haven't touched Japanese for the past 4 months, it's obvious that I have forgotten almost 95% of what I should have known. Owellz, time to mug for this "unofficial" exam b4 I can sit back and relax for the the remaining 1 month holidays.

Wah piangz, I really think my biz law tutor is SUPER bias (as far as 20% participation marks are concerned.. mind u, it's alot....).
It's quite AMAZING that ppl who DON'T TALK for the past 12 weeks (And seriously I really don't remember hearing these ppl's voice) get A or A+ for class participation. And then ppl who contribute significant answers regularly get like 'A-' or 'B+"...
Owellz, nth is fair lar, project also can have ppl pay money for others to do.. What's new?
But I really super buey song how ppl can juz talk RUBBISH and still consider as contributing "signicantly" to class participation. That's really pure bullshit.
And today marks the end of my LAST lesson in NTU for this sem, ogosh.. Time to mug.

Super cui...
I realised that I have skipped a total of 3 biz law and 3 accounting lectures for this sem and I know I really shouldn't be doing that anymore. But on the other hand, I realised that it really makes NO DIFF whether I go biz law lect anotz, cuz the lecturer is really... *no comments*.. in case kana SUED for "defamation" as I learnt in Biz Law recently... And I realised my CLASS PARTICIPATION for my accounting and biz law tutorials are SIMPLY CUI TO THE MAX. Like the LOWEST u can ever get. Although the good thing is the grade now is only "temporary" and I still got chance to talk cock in class to earn class particupation...Anyway, I guess subsequently I will be talking nonsense in tut class in order to make-up for the fact that I never really talk at all for all the tut classess so far.
Kaoz, the problem with a SMALL tutorial class is that you are expected to "contribute" more in class discussion.. But that doesn't really matter in a Seminar-style like FM or IT because firstly u have no chance to talk and secondly, SO MANY ppl, u wan talk also very difficult. HAIZ HAIZ HAIZ, and I realised I have TUTORIALs before recess week that's still NOT YET DONE.. Kaoz, I really think this sem if I can get reasonable "B" for all my modules will be quite ABOVE EXPECTATION already....

Didn't blog for such a looooooooooong time. And not only that. I think I didn't use much of MSN nowadays, with the exception to come online to QUARREL with projectmates. Haiz, seriously, I think what really TAKES UP most of my time is not doing tutorial or studying for quiz. It's doing STUPID PROJECTS! And to add on, I realised that my class guys, MOST of them r usually very punctual for project meetings. Girls on the other hand is like................
Last Sat I told my FM group to meet 8am at SMU admin building, cuz it's convenient for everyone. So at 8am, only the other guy and I are present. Fine, then I called the other 2 girls, one is "on the way", the other NEVER even bother picking up my call after like 3 calls. So the first girl was pretty EARLY, reaching at 830am, which was considered NOT BAD already. I can't be bothered by the other gal, and then at abt 9am, this gal SMSed to say "Sorry, I have some family matters to attend to, I'll reach ABIT late". And in the end she reached at 10am, and when she came down, she looked as if nth has happened. What a blardy bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I have any thing AGAINST this person. but I observed from week1 till NOW, for every SINGLE lesson, she will always come 5 to 15 minutes LATE for class, regardless what modules it is. It's so obvious until EVERYONE in my class knows she's FOREVER late... But being 2 hours late is really abit @#$%^&*. Sometimes I really curse that during the up-coming final exams, she will just be 30 minutes late...
And today's meeting(for another module) is QUITE bad also, but NOT AS BAD as that previous group. Supposed to meet 9am, I'm the first to reach. Then subsequently the other 3 person came 15 min late at 9.15am. Then left our GROUP LEADER, but nvm, maybe she's busy or what. We just started w/o her since most r already present. Then suddenly at 945am, she called me to say "OMG! Real sorry! I overslept~! Paisehz, I'll reach asap" (Luckily she stays in hall) But still, by the time she reached it's already 1030am.
So the morale of the story is: "It's definitely 100000000000000 times more efficient to do projects with guys than gals becuase the gals will think that being 30 min to 2 hrs late is NORMAL and as if the whole group is obliged to wait for her"
So farked up. I feel like playing a prank on the gal and say the next meeting is at 8am, then I will wake up from my home at 8am....... -_-'''

So just now I just came back from the Summer Festival event at Changi Japanese School. Overall it was quite fun, but the rain was a total turned off arz. Initally it should have been in the open space, but due to the rain, everything was shifted indoor and yalorz, abit squeezy.
As I have a friend who's currently in NTU 4th year EEE programme, he introduced to me about 5 of the Japanese exchange programme students who also just reached Singapore only. Ogosh, I nv know that Japanese students will really come Singapore for exchange programme arz, I mean if like those kind 10 days still okay, but from what I found out from them, they will be studying in NTU for one sem (1/2 year) and some will be studying 1 full year for 2 sem till next year May.
So obviously I got very exicted that perhaps I can do abit of net-working and to find some native Japanese to practise my horrendous Japanese-speaking. But aiyaz, I think all of them are currently attached as year3 or year4 Economics programme in NTU.. BUT NVM, cuz I think NBS is just NEXT to NTU Humanities block, so very near also. A few of them stay in NTU hostel, but most of them are actually renting HDB units to stay in.. Always thought that exchange students will be like 100% stay in hall.. Owellz, nvm.
Then they told me they LOVE Singapore until they don't want to go back Japan, even though only came here like 1 month ago only... Lolx, quite shocking arz. Then they say Japan not good lar, say Singapore very good, say Singaporeans are very NICE people, say Singapore environment very good...blah blah, as if Singapore is SO WONDERFUL that they don even wan to go back. Most of them in fact say if possible, they will hope to come back Singapore for some sort of exchange programme again. Say until like they so fun and excited to come here.
As I heard that, I felt I was like an extreme opposite of them. How I wish I can get the hell out here and go Japan to study arz. But obviously I nv say that lar. But okay lar, cuz technically speaking, they are as new as me to NTU, so nth much we can talk about also.. Just say exchange MSN and contact next time can meet up for lunch in sch. Ogosh, the mere mention of all these things make me feel so excited lar!
Now back to school stuff. Haiz, school is really an ultimate SIANZNESS, especially with projects and soon-to-come presentations to be done. Although I'm only 4 days work week, but majiam I got no time to study at all, WASTING alot of time meeting up people in sch to do projects, and go home must do projects, and watever shit projects that's never-ending. Luckily I can clique well with some of my class guys, if not it will be even more sianz to go sch arz.
Talking about CCA, it's really another shit thing lar. The process of joining CCA simply pissed me off, and now I also donno what CCA should I commit myself to.. I gave myself either Japanese club or Invesntment club or welfare club. Really a pain in the ass to even choose a CCA that you want to commit into. Not that u don wan to join, but is either due to stupid reasons like LIMITED vacancies or like join as normal member, which I feel might as well dont join, since those seniors LOVE to use underhand methods to re-elect previous comm ppl to be the main comm again. Haiz, watever lar, I also donno what to do arz. Take one step at a time.

9th Aug marks a very important day.大切な日。
被爆地・長崎は９日、６３回目の原爆の日を迎えた。爆心地近くの平和公園（長崎市松山町）で、長崎原爆犠牲者慰霊平和祈念式典があった。
Thousands of people offered a minute's silence at 11:02 am (0202 GMT), the exact moment the city was hit by the world's second and last nuclear attack on August 9, 1945, killing more than 70,000 people.
Although it's 63 years ago, may the citizens of Hiroshima not get too affected by it, e.g Radiation that cause cancer.
On a side note... So far Japan has ONE bronze medal (I think is a woman Judo event..) No Gold or Silver medals yet... Haiz, nvm, it's only 2nd days..

皆さん今晩は～！
さっきに友達と映画を見た。赤壁（日本語＝あかかべ？）大丈夫。この映画はとても よいですね、特別は 分かりやすいね。それでは、いくら 中国の歴史が わからなくて、見てから、だいたい分かりました。しかし、この映画は 二部が わかるので、第二部は 2009年の 一月が 出ます。

皆さんこんにちは～！
日本の地図を 買おうと 思いました。それでは、少し前に、紀伊国屋へ行きました。
日本の地図を 買おうと 思いました。それでは、少し前に、紀伊国屋へ行きました。
じゃ、私は 壁に 地図が掛かっていました。毎日地図を 見たら、日本の 47県が 覚えられます！よかったね。でも、今 あまり 県が 覚えました。大変ですね。
このごろ 完全マスター（二級）の漢字を 勉強ながら、完全マスター（二級）の文法を やりました。漢字は 文法より 勉強安いですね。漢字は 覚えるだけ。しかし、文法は わかり難い。
今週の 土曜日に、日本様式の BBQが あって、ぜひ 行こう。友達の 話から、日本の BBQは シンガポールの BBQより 準備は しなくても いいですよ。
またです。

さっき初めて友達とシンガポール日本人会へ昼御飯に行きました。そのところの申し込み料金も5000ドールですね。大変高いね！しかし、場所の設備は凄くて、図書館とか、レストランとか、漫画部屋とかがある。もう一度行きたい。
最近多いお金を浪費した。一昨日友達と買い物に行きました。大学はすぐ始めるので、新しいシャツや靴やズボンなど買った。300ドールも使って、今とても貧しい。大丈夫、私は働いて いる とき、収入が 時々が ある。
過去の二週間に、いつも家で 日本語を勉強しても、少し言葉と文法が 分かれました。そして、自分の気持ちは よくて、悲しかった。でも ３週間の 後で、時間が ないので、今できるだけの 勉強を する。一部 過去の 日本語能力試をしたら、時々が できて、時々が 難しかった。僕は 3個月が あるので、今 心配しくても いいですよ。
ええ、今 勉強し始めて、じゃあまた。

Today I went back to TPJC to gave my Bio teacher Miss Sha that "Campbell and Reece" book which is such a waste if I throw it away, and also won't earn much if I sell it, so might as well donate back. Then I saw "MR IVAN SIM", my classmate of 4 yrs since sec3 to JC2. Ogosh, really "unbelivable" that he's teaching Bio.. But I also quite respect him cause the A-level Syllabus now is like totally different from ours, which obviously mine is the easier one. They are learning all the what genetics and watever DNA stuff, which I can never understand. Anyway, that will mean HE HAS TO READ UP ALL THESE NEW STUFF SO HE WILL BE ABLE TO TEACH. Wah seh, if it's me I think die already. Want throw smoke bomb also donno how to teach.
So Mr Ivan Sim has 2 tutorial classes today, each is 1hr, and he's going through the Mid-yr exam which was just last week. I decided to JOIN in the class to see how on earth he teach Bio. Anyway, it's like imagine I'm sitting behind with the JC1 students, and then looking at Mr Sim going thru the papers. Lolx, but b4 that, I lied to the student that I'm actually a "surveyor sent by MOE to observe how relief teachers conduct lessons, so I can give feedback to higher HQ" And unbelievably, the students are so naive to belive me. -_-''''' Owellz, then I ask Ivan's students how they find his tutorial lessons, and seems like he's quite well-liked among them, and most of them enjoy his lessons also. But then horz, I think Ivan teach Bio using "broken english", and occasional vulgarities can be heard coming out from his mouth (As expected). But I really feel VERY SIANZ during his lesson, because he was going thru the mid-yr papers, and obviously I DON'T UNDERSTAND what he's teaching. Yaz, 4get everything liaoz.
And only managed to talk to Miss Sha and Mr Chow (Maths teacher). Haiz, so sad that my chem tutor Mdm Neo was on MC, then phy tutor also MIA donno go where, so didn't managed to find them. And I wanted to find my GP tutor to "THANK" her "wonderful" GP lesosns, but also didn't find her. Owellz, nvm.
On a sidenote, I was totally shocked when Ivan told me he's going NTU Accountancy too, where I think all the sec sch/JC ppl all along thought he's in Destistry/Electrical Engin. -_-'''' But he applied this yr only, 3 months ago, so tt's y not many ppl know that he's doing Accountancy, with most ppl thinking that he's still sticking to his previous option (EEE). AND THAT WILL MEAN HE MAY BE MY CLASSMATES WHEN SCHOOL STARTS. But then also donno if we will belong to the same group, then also very hard if we can be in the same class... Owellz, nvm, at least I will be seeing him and Darrell quite often in NBS block.. And both of us were like complaining what a waste of time during JC days to be taking 3 sciences, when it's totally irrelevant to Accounting. Owellz, nvm.. I believe there's many ppl like us who take "irrelevant" subjects during JC days too, so we are not alone. -_-'''

On a sidenote, I was totally shocked when Ivan told me he's going NTU Accountancy too, where I think all the sec sch/JC ppl all along thought he's in Destistry/Electrical Engin. -_-'''' But he applied this yr only, 3 months ago, so tt's y not many ppl know that he's doing Accountancy, with most ppl thinking that he's still sticking to his previous option (EEE). AND THAT WILL MEAN HE MAY BE MY CLASSMATES WHEN SCHOOL STARTS. But then also donno if we will belong to the same group, then also very hard if we can be in the same class... Owellz, nvm, at least I will be seeing him and Darrell quite often in NBS block.. And both of us were like complaining what a waste of time during JC days to be taking 3 sciences, when it's totally irrelevant to Accounting. Owellz, nvm.. I believe there's many ppl like us who take "irrelevant" subjects during JC days too, so we are not alone. -_-'''

My work ended yesterday, thank goodness, although I did feel abit sad to leave StarHub as I think the colleagues there are nice. Some of them gave me "farewell" presents; book, pen, chocolates and cookies. It's so nice of them, it's like even though I'm just a temp and they could have chosen not to bother abt me, but still treat me with respect, and on some occasions treat me to meals/coffee and stuff like tt. Then they told me next time when I am free, I can go back Cuppage there and have a meal with them or stuff like tt. So friendly of them... Owellz, perhaps during sch holidays next yr I will consider going back there again..
So now I have one month of "break", but I guess I will REALLY want to concentrate on studying Japanese lar... I'm still too cui... And tuition for my students still goes on.. I will want to go for swimming sessions to shed off the excess fats that I have accumulated. A day-trip to JB will be nice for some cheap shopping (Yaz, call me a cheapo or whatever, I don't care.) Then I also donno what I'll be doing next. Perhaps wasting my time away.. But see first lar, take one step at a time.
I think my patience has indeed wear thin whenever the issue of "Punctuality among Singaporeans" turns up. (Okay, the reason I talk abt this is becuz the temp gal who takes over me doesn't seem to be punctual, and tt irks me) For the past 4 months I work in StarHub, there was NEVER a day I turn up late for work. In fact, I'll come like 15 minutes earlier for work most of the time. But I noticed ppl around me, whether perm staff or temp staff, 99% don't seem to adhere to the timing. They come when they please, late for 15 min or 30 min, it's perfectly fine. Then this will link me to the fact when I go out with friends, yes, Singaporean friends who as usual, are always late. Then I realised when I'm "late", it's because I really deliberately be LATE, that I don't value that "meeting with friends".
I'm not trying to reprimand my Singaporean friends, but as I talk about this with some of my Japanese friends, we realised that Singaporeans can't survive in Japan well when punctuality comes into play. Whether is it for work, or juz a casual meeting with friends, Japanese will 99.99% be punctual, or in fact be early (Maybe it's the Japanese culture). And seriously, when someone is late, the person will REALLY feel guilty abt it perhaps becuz it's really due to emergency or whatz, and feels apologetic towards it. But Singaporeans on the other hand, just feel that it's a "norm" to be late, and perhaps a casual "sorry" will do. To be frank, I still can't get used to ppl who are late, as my sec2 science teacher put it, "Punctuality is a type of Honesty", if you are late, you are not being "honest" with your friends and gradually over time, you lose that trust you have in friends. This may seem a "small issue" to many, but to me I'm quite particular abt it. So I realised if I really start turning up "late" for friends outing, it's probably the fact I have lost the trust in him(them).

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. -_-'''

I guess I'll be working for 2 more weeks b4 I say "Sayounara" to StarHub. Actually wanted to leave this coming Friday, but then cause my supervisor wasn't in Singapore last week, have to wait for her to come back then inform. Haiz, mafan. Then of cuz some of my colleagues knew that I'm starting school in Aug, but how come I like so early quit.. Then bombarded me with lots of questions, asking whether cuz I not happy here, or cuz I wan go holidays, or watever reasons. But I'm too lazy to tell them actually I just want to concentrate on my Japanese studies (in case they ask even more), so I just anyhow say "I'm going holidays in early July". Bleahz, watever lar, not impt... BUT SERIOUSLY I think I've wasted alot of time playing my PSP and DS Lite until I think I totally neglected studying. Homework is always wait till Sat morning then rush through and do. So I must make full use of whole of July to study Japanese intensively. Then when sch starts in Aug, at least I can concentrate lesser on Japanese till Dec hol comes.
And on a side note, I've stopped lesson at Pyaess, after attending the last lesson on last sat. Won't be continueing because I realised my foundation is seriously too cui. Then go for lesson also most of the time don't understand JLPT2 grammar (Nvm, i realised alot ppl in my class also don't understand, but juz pretend to understand till I ask them to explain to me. Lolx.) So July is to brush up whatever thingyi I don't understand, if not I think it's really waste of time and money to continue for the sake of continueing.
And the matriculation package came last week. I donno if it's my comp is LAG or watever reason, I tried so many times to upload my photo up into the website BUT CANNOT LORZ. Keep saying got watever error. Kinda pissed me off a little. So I waited till next day then I try again, and finally can upload. At 1st I thought is "alot things to do", but I realised there seriously ain't much to do arz, just a little bit of admin stuff to write in and blah blah. So I guess I'm done with those stuff.
Yesterday after tuition at my friend's house, then she invited me to join her family for lunch at Waraku Restaurant. (THIS TIME ROUND AT LEAST I KNOW BASIC JAPANESE TABLE MANNERS!) Wahahaz..But I feel paisehz that they've treated me to lunch for 2 consecutive Sunday liaoz, and the restaurants they go also quite expensive.. I think next time I must buy something for them when I go her house, if not like very think-skin.. But I also don't know what to buy... Haiz.

Oyes!!! I finally completed Brave Story in PSP. Okay lar, actually it's not that hard to complete, and I think the bosses ain't tt tough too. So yalorz, have been chionging these 2 weeks that I don even have the time to online at night. -_-'''
And I finally got my DS Lite from my friend. Got all the games from her as well.. But 95% of her games are Japanese "educational" kind of game. (So I guess no1 will bother asking me for DS Lite games) Like write the correct Furigana, write correct Kanji, guess the meaning, construct sentence..blah blah. And some of them even explain to you why u get wrong, and the correct answer/explanation. Not bad lar. Wah laoz, then MY JAPANESE IS OBVIOUSLY TOO CUI TO PLAY MOST OF IT. Maybe I can play just 1 or 2, those VERY VERY "idiot-proof" ones.. Owellz, I think I shld just get other English games to play lorz. But still, I think playing those Japanese-educational games can build up my foundation. (And obviously that means if I don't just anyhow guess/write the answers)
And after tuition on Sunday morning, I went out with my Japanese friend's family, together with another Japanese family that live in Singapore for lunch. (Is a treat from my friend) Went to the "Din Tai Feng" (Don't know how to spell) at Tampines Mall.. Was quite crowded arz. Anyway, so the 4 Japanese gals (2 pri.3 kids, 1 pri.6 kid, 1 sec2 kid which is my student) were playing their DS Lite then toking very loudly in Japanese. Then my friend, her husband and the other Japanese parent were chatting in Japanese as well.. And I think we invited alot of stares from other ppl waiting outside the restaurant. -_-'''
And this is the 1st time I had lunch with Japanese ppl. AND TO MY GREATEST HORROR I REALISED I WAS VERY "rude". Because I forgot that b4 eating I must say いただきます(itadakimasu), BASIC MANNER which I KNEW abt it, but I totally 4got. Wah laoz, demn paisehz. Can u imagine I already have my first bite, then suddenly the rest of them were saying "itadakimasu". Nvm, I learnt my lesson. Although I feel like digging a hole to hide my face then. 2nd mistake I made is the way I grab food from common food plate. You know cause we got order a few common dishes, so the fact that according to Japanese culture, when u wan to pick up food from the dishes, u r supposed to change ur chopstick upside down, then tt means u grab the food using the supposedly "upper end" of ur chopstick, put the food back to your plate, then u "flip the chopstick" back to the original position. AND OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T KNOW THAT UNTIL I REALISED THE REST OF THEM WERE DOING THERE. -_-'''''''''''''''''''''''''
I was utterly disgusted with myself how rude can I be. But nvm, they are all very nice ppl. Then obviously throughout the lunch, they were chatting in Japanese, and I was the ONLY DUMBASS that spoke in 80% English 20% Japanese. Wah laoz, even the children were like "huh? wat toking u?" when I spoke very horribly. Jialat lar. Out of the 4 children, only one can understand Chinese. O YES!!! I CAN SPEAK CHINESE to make myself feel more at ease. But still, very dumb becuz tt will mean the other 3 cnt understand. Wah laoz, serious language barrier. I really think I must force myself to speak more Japanese if not really too cui until ppl can laugh. BUT THEY ARE ALL WILLING TO HELP ME IN JLPT LEH!!! WOW!! SO GOOD RITE, GOT FREE TEACHERS LIAOZ. CAN SAVE $$$$$$$$ -_-'''' Bleahz, I'm such a cheapskate. But nvm, I think I really love hanging out with them. And becuz mainly THEY DON''T HAVE Singapore friends as well (quite sad horz?), so I'm one of the few that's closer to them. Owellz, not bad lar, at least they r such a nice bunch of ppl.
And I think a few days ago there's this news abt this CRAZY man who knock down/stabbed 7 ppl to death in Tokyo. Really siao. Haiz, as mentioned in one of my previous post, such things are so common in Japan until it poses quite a serious social problem. See lar, Manga and Anima are to be blamed. -_-''' But on the other hand, if not manga/anime, I think our childhood will be quite boring.
