Hahaha. Okay I'm so sorry for leaving you guys in the dark for sooo long. I think it's been about 3 months since I last blogged. I think there were too many things going on and all sorts of emotional rollercoaster rides I was going through as well that I couldn't really find a time when I was a bit more calm to write things down in a consistent manner.
Anyway, my summer break started on the 28th of July, so for the entire month of August there's no BLOODY school! Woooooot. I don't know, lessons were starting to get boring as we moved up the ladder, currently studing advance Japanese and it's all about studying about the environment and reading newspaper articles, doing summaries, all that boring stuff so even though I'd absolutely nothing planned for the hols I was still happy that they were coming.
For the past week of summer vacation.. what have I been doing, hmm, let's seee. First of all, melting day by day because there isn't a fan in my room and the really hot summer season has officially kicked in! Just one or two weeks before there were some heavy rains because of the rainy season but now its really hot and dry. I would run down to the meeting room at least for an hour a day just to enjoy the air con cos I'm just too stingy to turn on the one in my room.. I don't want my electricity bill to soar this summer man. But now, Wahaha, I bought an electric fan!!! So happy with it. I went to this huge store called Don Quixote which has many outlets all around selling absolutely everything from branded goods to electrical goods to toiletries. You name it, they have it. And at cheap - reasonable prices to boot. In fact I was enticed by a few other electrical goods they had like a takoyaki cum sukiyaki teppan (hot plate) set which was.. cha-chang! Only 1,900yen! That's hella cheap :D
Hehehe. Okay anyway, what else.. I've had a lot more time nowadays to look up anime movies and stuff related to games. Guess what, a new model of PSP is coming out on the 20th of September and I am so going to buy that, muhaha. I felt so lucky and blessed that I hadn't gone out to buy one before that because the new model is going to be slimmer, lighter and has a range of new colours to choose from which look a lot better than the current ones. I am also, I must say, VERY tempted to buy a Nintendo DS as well cos absolutely everyone has one!!! Must! Have! My! Own! DS!!!!
Besides games, I've discovered quite a lot of anime movies that I will definitely want to watch, at least 3! Each one coming out from this month to October. And also, the not-to-be-missed annual TOKYO GAMES SHOW 2007! Which showcases hella lot of games and animes and other stuff like works by animation schools; the school that I'm going to next year is going to showcase some of their works so I would really like to check that out. Oh so exciting isn't it.
Then, the Japanese language school I'm attending now arranged for all the people in the school who are going to the same college next year to go for the open campus together. So we're going on the 17th of August. The open campuses in Japan sound really hands on (at least for the specialised training colleges) whereby you participate in actually implemented class programs and lessons, like in my case, design a character and some other stuff like that. It's all very tailored to the specific course and we are all going to take the full day course (there's morning and afternoon courses for those who decide they want see what other courses offer). And the school provides lunch as well! How convenient. Anyway, I'm quite excited to see what the campus ground looks like cos it looks ultra big and really scenic in the website. It's got a swimming pool, tennis courts, football fields (because they have sports courses). And I see their advertisements everywhere! On the train, on tv, in the karaoke lounge, wah lao.. Haha. They must be really rich.
And as for now, I think I am going to try to find a part time job for this summer because there are just too many things I would like to buy. Like all the donuts from Mister Donuts and all the flavours from Baskin Robbins 31, the PSP, the DS and all the games... haha. But if I don't manage to get one.. then :( too bad I guess, I will live as a poor starving student this summer. Haha. Heard there are a coupla Singaporean restaurants around here so I'm thinking of calling them soon and asking if they need part timers. My speaking in Japanese is really subpar, I have this habit of chewing on my words, haha, if you can picture what its like.. so I hope everything goes well *crosses fingers*. Alright, hope this update suffices. Am going to make a phone call to the restaurant now.. Eeeep! Ciao Cara! (Bye darling in italian, as taught to me by my italian friend :) hehe)
