nasi lemak gathering at new discovered neighbor's house^^

I just happened to know that the performers of Malaysian Night are my neighbor in Hachiouji. this is great.

I like the malays for their sincerity. they are sincere to friends and appreciate the relationshiops between friends and family.
Shau, one of my 'newly discovered neighbor' invited us to hi house to have nasi lemak gathering.
I went there earlier to help out. and know I learned how to cook a nice nasi lemak!!! gonna try this out^^ Thank you Shau^^

the guy is the chef, Shau. and to the right it is Aime, myself and Anna



this nasi lemak was so great that I want to have more. but my stomach couldnt have more!!

christmas

It was Christmas eve and I woke up at 1pm resulted by the tiredness after the Malaysian Night(though I didnt do much )
night before christmas, I spent my time eating, watching Bollywood movie, 3 Idiots
and the doing homework. It was a great night for me as I like this kind of life, spending time on my pace, doing things that I like.

My host family canceled the christmas plan with me as their old folk passed aways week ago.
a sad one.

I had the plan to go to the newly opened Forever 21 in Shibuya,alone. Nah, the word 'alone' is not that lonely actually , but someone told me that shopping alone on christmas day would be too sad. hmm.. ya, kind of.

but finally I went shopping alone and spent quite a sum of money. I got lost again.haha. That's me.
the night, invited by Jun Hao,i spent my christmas with my seniors. (Sze yang, dong sheng,Jun Hao, Pei Loon, lig cheik and his girlfriend)
all seniours, just myself as a junior joining their celebration. quite weird actually but I enjoyed the night.


we went to Roppongi for dinner and have a look at illumination.
Mentioned about the dinner, it really took us a lot of time. We couldnt find the restaurant we decided to have out lovely dinner. I was starving from 4 to 8. we ended up waiting for seats at an Indian food restaurant.

It was a fun night hanging around with them. four of us spent a night chatting about philosophy.lol. it was surprising that Jun Hao has such philosophical thought too. haha XD
I learned a lot from them. especially this one thing i agree so much
'as a leader, you have to trust your people that they can complete the task you have given'
nice one..^^

but the sad one was, my bf got angry with me. hanigng out with guys alone as a girl might be the reason, but I think neglected him was another reason too. what should I do?

Ropongi

Malaysian Night 2010

two days before Christmas, it was Malaysian Night organized by MSAJ.
The EXCOs have taken months on planning for this. And Malaysian Night 2010 went smoothly.
It was my first time learnd to dance, and it was Indian dance. I still doubting where did I got the courage to take this challenge, but I did it, with the help, guidance and support from Nazarruddin, a Petronas scholars studying in Keio University.

This is Naza, A funny guy but berkaliber. the fork in his hand was the present for every performer as appreciation. weird right, well this is Naza.
And from this, I know one more Indian friend,Thaneer and his friend Ruiz. Thaneer is my indian dancing partner. I feel thankful for joining MSAJ that I could know so many nice friends in Japan like Jun Hao, Siriphong, Naza, Shau, and Suzana. It is so great that I could know them.
and of course I have thanks Fuwei and Lydia for encouraging me to join MSAJ and TJ for giving out the chance to me. thanks guys and girls^^

th girl with blue shirt is Suzana I mentioned above. Xinyi was there to help me too. she came all along the far aways Gunma just to help us out. Thank you Xinyi^^
and there are Anna, Aime and Joceline too.

last practice before the MAlaysian Night

It was a great night meeting my seniors and some Malays friends and seniors again. I like meeting them and chat with them. chatting around and enjoy the atmosphere of the night.

Felt so reluctant to end the night and say goodbye to the people who were involved in planning and helping out in Malaysian Night. WIshed We could have a drink and chit chatting before the day ended.

December! ^^

It is December! I couldn't remember but faintly about my past years Decembers.

Unlike Japan, December is the end of the year in Malaysia. Schools is in holiday, Families go on trips,company's are summarizing their yearly account, shopping mall have year end grand sales, supermarkets hold promotions.....

hmm.. I remember my longing for holidays when I was a school girl. I couldn't wait to go Genting Highland with my family, have fun and hang around in the colder weather. Six of us would be sitting in daddy's Nissan Vanette, bad mouthing about our customers(XD), daddy giving advice while driving, two brothers sleeping on the half way of 5hr journey, mum listening to dad's blah-ing..
When the four children fell asleep by dad's blah-ing, mum would still awake to keep eyes on the road.^^

When I was a high school teenager, I think I was busy attending tuition classes. There we are! The journey to tuition time in groups had been my good time talking and 'shooting' by my friends.lol.
They just liked to tease me, hmm, even now, they cant stop make jokes about me. Hmm.. it is not a bad one,in fact, I love the way we make fun about each other^^Its just that I have been the victim all the time XD

Couldnt remember the Decembers I spent in KL. hmm.. sorry! my memory is really suck.(harsh lla!)

And this year,2010's December, the first December I spend in Japan. How much fun will it be?
hmm.. has been practicing performance third time (including kindergarden time( >.<) in my life. And Dancing is just not my talent,what matter most is that I am dancing indian dance.even myself couldnt imagine myself dancing.haiz.. Gonna build up the thickest skin of my face. !
My december schedule is almost packed. had two school trips, three christmas parties, dancing practice every weekend, visiting my host family, ski trip in Nagaoka and the kansai trip I looking forward to the most..hehe..
wish me good times in december!

记忆力

为什么我的记忆力那么差!!!!


很无奈。。
我没有办法不忘记，不是我不要记得
忘记就算了，但是却误会人家。
坚持自己听过的事是事实，
最后在发现是自己记错，
那场面很尴尬，也很抱歉。
向你道歉，你总是说没关系


我们之间的误会和不满
应该越来越多了吧。
还是那只是我的想法。
很多时候，
觉得自己应该容让
但是就是会有些事情我不能接受

还是很喜欢我们在一起疯狂的时间
喜欢听你讲故事
喜欢看你发疯的那面
希望那疯狂的时间可以多一点
希望我可以宽容多一点
计较少一点
开心多一点
误会少一点

Blogging

I have been thinking to publicize my blog so that I can exchange link with other bloggers or know more bloggers from different places. Nah,when I say this,it doesn't mean that I could get international blogging friends(though I wish to =P).But I am not publicizing because of many reasons.^^ You know the reason if you know me^^

I started blogging since I know my boyfriend. Reading his blog was one of my favorite routine.
His blog was simple but it was the interesting and humorous content impressed me. His blog reflects (he still has his blog but...he hasn't been writing for some time) his youthful and no worries personality. This is what I love about him, a joyous one with pessimistic one to make a stability.XD

I am emotional and think a lot about every single thing related to my life,(excluding the content of my textbooks^^),so I have too much things in my head that I would compile them and write them into words.I am a typical petty girl with such emotional things and I often remember those upset than happy ones. That's the reason I only allow people I allowed to read.

I have been following some blogs and I have some curious parts with their spirit in posting blog and their thoughts. every single post is about thing that happened in their surrounding,and they seem happy everyday. Don't they have time being emo or tired or sad or gloomy?
And why I am being unhappy and worry more than being optimistic that I should?
and why lar I am writing like I am being emo again???? ish!

homestay(13-14 Nov 2010)

Finally, I have a host family in Japan which I have been looking forward to.
There was a party organized by LABO association on 13th Nov,We weren't able to attend.
Was a very nice part where most of the the members are children. There a some tutors working there(not sure they get paid or not though).My host family is one of the tutors.
hmm.. it was a really impressive association because most of them are children from 3 to 20 years old. And there was a litle 9 year old girl, introducing herself in English. I have to say that her English was good. She,Kurumi, was ery active and TALKATIVE.She was talking non stop since we met,all the way from Chou Fu to Mejirodai(40min JOurney) until she was taken home by his young father.
Her father has been working in Singapore Olypus Company,that is why their English was good.lol.
Impressive huh.^^

staying one night at my host family's house in Mejirou dai,which is 30 min walking distance from my hostel, too nea la=( i expected a farther one. lol..
Anyway,she is a very active and nice woman,just like my Tutor's mum. They are different from usual Japanese.. different in the way they think, clothes they wear, and their perspectives.

kimono!!!!!!!!!!!!!hehe

The next day was a fun day too. Left her house at 1030 am to Fuchuu.She is one of the tea servers in a Square Dance party. I bet you dont know about Square Dance. let me show u^^

wonder if you realized another impressive point in this video..haha
They are all old folks!!! 4 couples in a group dancing in an fixed way. the old folks were active,"Vigorous',spirited, and energetic. I couldnt believe my eyes that the Japanese old folks can be so active joining association and dancing club like this. And there are old men performing band up on the stage! wow.. their spirit had encouraged me,that i should be more active and confident.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_dance
I could see old ladies dancing as if she were 20 years old, shaking their body and move swiftly around. They dance whenever there was music!! guess what! I even saw someone flirting !! lol!!!
Was wondering if there were dubious relationship among some of them,just like how the tenagers feel when they are in such group.lol.i think too much.haha
or one or two of them in love with each other instead of they have their spouses back in their homes.lol! think too much liao!

I helped my 'mom' to give away the luch boxes and drinks. then we left at noon to get the children to another activity in Bubaigawara.
I had the chance to visit the museum. It is autumn now.. leaves are in yellow,green,red, brown and gold.. feel like they are shining in the sky, dropping with the touch of the breeze.

we had our lunch at a stone table where the floor fulled with yellow dried leaves.also had a candy floss from her!! wow.. as if I went back to my childhood time again^^ haha. I forgot how it felt untill i put in into my mouth,the candy melted as i put it into my mouth..




saw a japanese traditional tatami house with long balconies and big garden n the museum too.
post office and city hall 100 yeas ago and a primary school too.
i like the place so much.





then we went back to the square dance party again. enjoyed watching the old folks dances.of course i joined their dance too,though i was damn clumsy and unskilled with the dance. haha..had gun though.

hmm.. was a tiring day but i had had fun!!!oh ya, i met Tj's host family too but she sent him home early this morning.. she was a nice lady too. she had once lived in Malaysia for 3 yeears and her Malay was good!! nice chatting with her^^

upset and upset and upset!!!!

Now,I am very very unhappy...
Just Unhappy...

Something that you have been waiting for whole day or whole time
suddenly turned into into nothing,
being dumped,in this Thursday night,alone..

I was just trying to remedy our relationship,
but again,again and again..
ended up with failures,
because of such trivial promises that were broken .

I am not saying that I feel alone(although i do feel alone)
I supposed to be outing instead of typing out my feeling out here..
I hate this..
Hate that i feel alone,
hate that i am being left out
hate that the promise broke
hate this feeling overwhelming me!!!

give me back my Thursday!!!!

期待的红叶

末夏，窗外的蝉鸣渐渐消失
凉爽的风把郁闷的夏天赶走，
迎接秋天。

十月了，绿叶依然在雨中汹涌晃摇
天气突冷，以为秋天不来了，冬天早到了。
心情也随着天气而低落，感伤。
盼望着上学路上的那棵大树染上橙红色

等不及东京的红叶，就去了长冈
无数的来电，几翻考虑，再加上斗嘴，
终于到了长冈
迎接我的是那张灿烂的笑容。









路途遥远，但是那相见的心情，
都是值得的
开心，是最好的形容词吧=)

难忘，幸福，美丽的秋天

happy anniversary ^^

It was 2 years ago when the love sparked.
A pure and quiet relationship has made this lasted for so long.

I still love his loudness,his cheerfulness,his cuteness.
and his sudden surprises once in a while which I couldnt believe.
The days have been tough until recently,everything changed when he has changed.
Realized that it is easy to make me shed a tear or curve my lips.
Realized that I am so flexible and sensible that his emotion and words would change my day,
from cloudy to sunny ,or vice versa.

Long distance relationship,suits me better,I think.
where I have no regret that i did that decision which everyone asked me the reason.
We have our own space,
We dont quarel that often anymore,


We miss each other more than when we are together,

We appreciate more when we got the chance to be together,
We could know how much we miss each other ,
webcam once in a while....

experience special things.





also...Surprise that made the anniversary more meaningful and unforgettable..

I was watching movie with Lydia last nigt.1.28am,got a phone call from him so i went back to my room.and that was the time i saw the blue box packed tighly ,like it has been posted,on my table.
with a lot of question marks in my mind,I opened it as if I was opening someone's thing.haha..
persuaded by him, I just opened it..guess wat!!!!!! It was from him. He was in Nagaoka and I am in Tokyo.far far away,however, i got the biggest surprise ever since we are together.It was a present for our 2nd anniversary.. felt so touched and i didnt know whether to laugh or cry.. I ended up by laughing with warm and sourly eyes..
I was so touch!(i know my description is bad,u cant feel how much i felt,nvm.. haha,i am bad at words,forgive me!)
may be you would feel these are silly, but it means a lot to me...

(long sigh) it has been two years ka... wow.. i was shocked when i realized this.
wow... i cant believe I have had him by my side for 2 years.wow... just couldnt believe that I have made a long run relationship.wow. the time flies yeah..we are becoming adults..
though.. we still have a long way to go,together, supporting and understanding each others..

I love you....

Nescafe..why dud you do this to me?????

It is 0241hrs now...I am still awake thanks to my lovely aromatic Nescafe....

fire drill in Tokyo Kosen^^

Thursday is supposed to be the most idle day of a week.But,still, i have to wake up early like usual as we are not allowed to stay in hostel in the morning.So , reluctantly,woke up and went to school like usual. the morning was boring and I have no class after lunch time,still, i had to rush back to classroom for the fire drill..
No explanation needed in this part right?^^
...................skip skip...............................

Then 3pm,30min after the drill ended,i attended the presentation of 5year students on their researches,which I will be doing too after 2 years.Feel curious and worry about the challenges I have to deal with,i attended.I was the only 3rd year student there,and I couldnt understand their presentation at all, too professional.haha.. And it made me felt that it was not good for me to be there,I felt so small inside the hall, like a fool listening to the profession.XD.
I wonder how the students can go to that high level of research as we learn very basic thing in 3rd year, then a bit more detailed subject in 4th year.and once we enter 5th year, the research will be started. wah. tension la.....I am not sure i could deal with all these research,or presentation or experiments though.... god bless me. haha

I like to chat with Suba, just feel nice when talking to here, or I should say,listening to her story and opinions.I think i will miss her a lot after her graduation from this kosen=(..

better to be alone...

I can't explain how I feel now, I just want to get rid all the thoughts that occupying my mind these days.I want to be alone though I long for chatting and laughing..
I forgot how to laugh like I used to.Laughing like a crazy,with her mouth big opened.
I couldn't smile from the bottom of my heart.Even when i talk,there are a lot of evasions.

I have had a lot of friends and they complimented on my good relations with people around me,
they envied my caring and kindness to people.
BUT,they do not know the truth that I didn't do much on getting friends because
I don't like socializing, racking my brain to come out with a boring and meaningless conversation topic.All I did, until today,was follow.I don;t approach people to starts a conversation,somehow, i do have the chance getting new friends.Of course, not many.
And this has brought me into a struggling in myself.

I strongly believe that I should not get close and start liking,admiring someone. When i did, there always are problems occurred. Because the weakness of the person and myself get obvious from time to time.May be long term toleration isn't noted in my dictionary. I can put up with someone by keeping quiet, but there is a limit,and now, it is close to the red line..
I am controlling myself from making the situation worse by being reticent about my inner feeling.

I realized what kind of life i have been longing for.It is just a normal life a teenager will go through.I long for a free mind, a true friend,and someone who loves me. I am going through a normal life, I have 2 true friends,soul mates,and a man who loves me.A free mind,I need you.

dont say that I am being calculating in fact you are the one who is being calculating.
dont be so confidence with yourself if you are not sure about it.
I didnt know I did the wrong thing, nor wanted to do the things you complaint after I did it.because I dont know!
I didnt want to forget too, but i forget! what am I going to do?forgetting is not my intention!
The mind is piled up with exclamation marks which i wish to shout it out(it would be the best if the target is you!!)
dont wanna think about the relationships with the Japanese,dont wanna think about being proactive, dont wanna think about how to put up with someone who has helped me before.

How glad if I am being alone now, without you bothering me, or me bothering you.
How glad if only I could be cool like now but not hesitating nor worrying about it.

To you who knows what I mean:You do realized these dont you?even you dont, I hope that You will realized this one day. At least there is someone understand how I feel and stand by my side,telling me I wasnt wrong...

school again!

two days since school started.
classes were boring as every lecturer came in and asked us about our holidays..
and whenever they asked, i felt annoyed. something strong and heavy emerged and made me uncomfortable.

but today's lesson was a it different from yesterday's
because they are new to me in this final semester..
Applied Physics and Quantum Theory... sounds hard huh.. is worrying about these subjects.
it was Applied Physics lesson had in this morning. the lecturer looks nice and he talks slow
He explained the syllabus into very very detailed..lets see how detailed he is .
He reminded us to bring some necessary materials in next coming lesson,so he wrote them down on the blackboard.
1.physics textbook
2.Applied Physics experiment booklet
3.Neopal Physics questions
4.pencils,erasers,calculators
Note that!!!
Who doesnt bring pencils and erasers to school!!
i nearly laughed out loud in the class..XD

After recess, i was sitting at my desk and my tutor was still, quite as we always be..
we both are quiet because we have no close friends.
I dont feel like chatting with the girls even though they are standing beside me.. just dont..
dont like to "ying chou"lol.
but in my tutor's case, she is different may be..
then i offered her to study together after classes so that she can fill up her task list which shows her work as a tutor guiding me. if not, she wont be receiving money.
soon after i said so, i regretted.. XD..
no more freedom for me and the main thing is, i have to face her every minutes other than my sleeping time.. help me...

Again, misery occupied my heart ...

meeting super sempai(seniors)!!!!!!!!

She was the first senior,Lim Siew Ling that guided and told me bout PPKTJ back in KL..
Her mom's my parents' friend,and so we got help from her.
She is from Sungai Petani too.. and now doing master in Toyohashi unniversity of Technology..

we met in 吉祥寺(kichijyouji)..She was with another friend of hers,another senior of mine,named Lim Soo Sing.She is from Johor and she behaved like Xue Mey too. aha..

had a happy day with them.. we went to 農工大 to meet another SP senior from my kosen too,Jen Jen..
three of them are doing master ..wow.Master, never think of doing master.. haha..
They told me a lot about their studies and experiences.. nice to hear that but it made me worry and scare about the future..studying is not an easy task too..
hmm. gonna work harder... wish i could do that.
we visited Jen Jen's hostel but not her laboratory which i wished so much to see..
she is doing master in chemical field..
oh ya, we met Ben Foo at the station while waiting for Jen Jen.

原来

他从马来西亚回来了。
一个人，一清早就去了机场。
昨夜的迟睡，两个小时的路程，
再加上在成田机场等了一刻小时多
好累，但是还是精神满满的。

等待的心情不特别，
但是当机程揭告板显示着KE703将抵达时
心跳加速，手掌是冒冷汗。
等呀等，半个小时过了，
看不见人影，电话却响了。
‘喂，你在哪'
‘在外面等着你咯，都一个小时了’
‘啊？真的啊？酱我现在赶出去'

什么嘛，他不是应该早就走出来吗？在里面慢吞什么？

等了再等，终于，黑色身影出现了。
又是那副搞怪的表情，
哈哈。^^

在上野的 Rock Cafe 吃了午餐（可算是午茶时间了）
他就匆匆忙忙的赶新干线，说再见了。
还不想回宿舍，
一个人，逛了上野几圈，才搭车回去。

半夜一点多，通电话。
说出了我心里觉得存在的问题。
结果，是我意想不到的 僵硬与泪水

原来我说的那些话，伤害了他。
原来我看不见他的努力与付出，
原来他不是我想像中的吊儿郎当，
原来我还不懂他对我的心意，
原来我误解了他，
原来我并不细心，
原来我并不了解内心的他
原来我不是自以为的成熟。

3个小时的沉默，疑惑，沉思，泪水，
换来的是觉悟。

打开你的心。。。

想太多

想太多，这三个字眼
曾经是最不喜欢的字眼。
使失落的她变得更失落。
使她坚信的事情动摇
也燃起了对自己的责备与责问。
虽然不认为自己的’想太多'是真的想太多。

想太多，是因为敏感，介意，和害怕。
受伤害的不止是自己，
也牵连了身边的朋友。
然后再进一步让自己伤得更深。

但是，想太多，有时候也不见得是坏事
因为这种心情，
让人变得更细腻
为单调的生活加上旋律

偶尔无病呻吟的拜访，
是 视是风平浪静的感情背后的空虚
一一揭开
更是麻木心情的调味料

当想得累了，
问号不见了。
不是消失，而是藏起来了。
就算浮现，也很快被主人赶走，
因为主人，在逃避。。

是在逃避吗？还是应该说放弃？
是放弃吗？还是不曾真正拿？
她，又再想太多了。。。=）

tired larrrr...

after non stop trip to toyama, saitama and kichijioji,tired and exhausted..not wanting to do anything including writing blog that i wanted to tell so much during my trip. i took a lot of pictures. jotted down name of places i went.. but i didnt mention alot in my blog.. because i am tired!

After 5months since i came to Japan, i feel that i have changed.
i don't feel like talking to others.
i just need more time and space for myself..
i can stay in my hostel for weeks,without talking to people around me..
or i should say i don't want to talk because it is tiresome.
i hate myself to have thought like that. but the feeling just fill my heart without control.

Too bossy and determine in what she feel and think. I know i am forgetful , i cant remember a lot of things, but it doesn't mean that i want to.. i couldn't make myself remember those trivial matters..
so, I kept quite whenever argue seemed to occur..
keep quite like my father always response to my mum..

May be it is this thought that made me refuse to go Disneysea tomorrow with the girls.
i found myself couldnt associate with the others.I hate to be hypocrite.To keep smiling to the person i dOnt like..although I do when have to..

webcam with my dad through skype. and turned out to witness their squabbling.
mom was so angry that she misunderstood that dad was complaining about her to me.
So mom rose up her high pitch voice, yelling at dad.. Dad just kept quite after his explaination didnt work..

The affection and communication between us got stronger recently where we talk and missing each other more often than before..
he made our relationship public which surprised me when i was on my way back from Saitama..
couldnt control the feeling that caused my lips to curve upwards..
although it is just a trivial matter, but i meant a lot to me as he was Him.. Mr Quah that would not do such thing in public.. ^^

second day-kurobe dam

the destination was 黒部ダム(kurobe water dam) but we went from Tateyama,toyama to NAgano.. we crossed the mountain range which is 2500m above the sea level..

i enjoyed the view from the bus to the height of 2000m..where i could see the mountain of Japan.it was very different from Malaysia's forest. no trees but grasses and tiny flowers...
the whole journey from tateyama o kurobe was by transportation such as cable car, buses, and rope way cable car provided...no personal transportation was allowed...and the worst thing was that the fare was damn expensive..it cost 2000yen++ for the one way ticket for each transportation. As i mentioned just now, it needed not only one , but 5 or 6 stops to change our transport..


with my girl classmates..

all the girls

tateyama station, our starting point!

cable car... very steep larrr

i was standing at the most behind,could see the view while the cable car went upper and upper





the view from cable car.leaves are turning red on the top of the mountain. it is gonna be autumn huh?^^


reached bijyodara by cable car. from here, we changed to bus to the height of 2000m..


bus platform..the bus station attendant was fierce.i ws searching for places on the bus(iiws the last one got on the bus)and the uncle forced me to sit down on the place i didnt want to ,beside my lecturer!!!!!!!!!!!!


the bus stopped at 1260m height and let us see the 96m water fall...


and then we reached Tateyama which is 2350m high at 10.30am.. we spent 3 hours at this stop to enjoy the scene ..the view was awesomely beautiful! here you go the pictures of Tateyama views!!!



nice right!!!!!!!!!!!with the cool breeze blowing.. nice place to go...(but not a place for a walk!!!!!!!!!)




hehe

i like the lake behind me.. forgot the name.^^


the hot spring of sulphur they call it valley of hell.. lol


the yellow thing is sulphur


the cutest girl in my class.. ^^


this is not a place for walk, we climbed uncountable staircases..we sat down after almost every 10 steps... =(


guess how much was this.. 650 yen for 3 pieces of toasts!!!!!!!! walao.

stop here fisrt.. it is late here and i am tired after trips.. lol goodnite
