~Going back soon~

Just finished exam,but I was a bit busy so didn't have time to blog until now..Been sleeping at 1am and 2am on the last day before exam,yet yesterday,I woke up at 6am..To go to Kooriyama to pay my Hokkaido host mother a visit..

Spent 3hours to and 3hours back..To listen to talks and walked around the city of Tenri..Including visits to a museum about world cultures....

What talks was it about?A religion called 天理(Tenri)(link)

A brief explanation would be..We are born thanks to our parents,and our parents,by of course,our grandparents..And so on..But who was the first creator of our ancester?Their answer,GOD..

So in other words,we are all equal,born by one GOD,even if we have differences in skin colour,the shape of our eyes etc..We are just borrowing these bodies from our God,so we should treasure that we are blessed with perfectly working organs etc..But GOD gave each individual a sole organ that we can control over,which is our heart..

With our heart,we could use the GOD's organs like,our mouth..To praise about others,to express thanks..But on the bad side,we could complain,criticize etc..Same with hands..We could help others or hurt others..That's why,the central control of it all,our hearts are the most important..Tenri is all about purification of the heart and that we all belong to one GOD,so there shouldn't be any prejudice or indifferences..And in the heart of Tenri city...Is where we are all born..So when you come to pray here,instead of welcome,they will say..Welcome HOME...


There,something brief about Tenri,the city where almost everyone is a Tenri believer.No,I won't convert to Tenri..Although I could accept their concept,which is really about respecting others,doing what is right etc..To me,every religion is right..As long as you have a GOD in yourself,do things without guilt..I'm fine...

~Happy Chinese New Year!!~

My first Chinese New Year abroad,how do I feel???For one,I loathe it..Especially since it's exam period...If its not the exam period I would have gone somewhere to celebrate..But ended up,for reunion dinner,I enjoyed a peaceful dinner at Sakuraya with Ben,Soo and Moto..Note the word peaceful??It was really a quiet dinner..

Not much of a celebration but still it was better than nothing..I kinda enjoy the company..Had 2 cocktails,and came back red-face..BUT I WAS NOT DRUNK!!!

3Malaysian Chinese abroad..

Called home and hear my mum complaining that she just lost RM100 on gambling,hear the fireworks background..My cousin chatting with me for less than 3min..I resulted to sending messages to most of the Chinese students here..I felt really dreaded..I know,I know,I'm going back in say 9days..but still 4days of exam...aishhh..I don't want to take any more examsssss..

I want to celebrate Chinese New Year!!!!

~First day of exam~

Let's just say I have a first-day-paper-sure-doom paper curse..I'm so doomed..I might fail,even if I don't,I sure won't do well..Didn't study?Nope,I did..The only thing difference is for this paper I study one day before.Well,the whole week was about small test,I hardly had time to study exam so..Tomorrow is the weekend,Monday is still a holiday so after today's paper I will have 3days to study..

Why I did so badly this time for this paper?I cannot remember a lot of the things that I studied the day before..Either my brain is too saturated,or...forget it..I hate finding excuses,I'm too tired..And it's only Day1..Happy Chinese New Year to all...

~Happy Valentine's Day~

Seems like I could only blog on Wednesdays..haha.Let's see,it was my birthday last Saturday.As usual,its a blog to say thanks and post pics of my gifts.

Thanks to Soo who gave me the earliest birthdayt gift which she conveniently bought on her trip to Taiwan in December.Birthday gift cum souvenir~_~"..Then Kar Yee who showed how sweet she was sending a card and letter all the way from Malaysia..Followed by my dear Min Ley who sent the gift on the day I sent her hers.Ice cream light...



And Chiang Shen who sent on the same day too..
















Araki and Wakki gave me an eye pillow and Japanese style owl-puppet..cool.All these I received on the 9th,not exactly my birthday yet but it was enough to make me grinning all day in school and anticipating the 10th..haha


10th February 2007.
Received a birthday wish from Teck Soon and Ghai Leong on my handphone a little past midnight.Woke up at 7am after having a bad night sleep.No big deal,eat breakfast,study,watch drama,complained that I have a lousy birthday to my online kaki,received Tiramisu puding from Eiguchi..yay..makan,dwaddle until 5pm.Not studying though exam is near..blahh.


Then I start to have a little fun.Had sushi dinner with Mr.Lawson and Hirai sensei at Sushi zanmai.It was great.While having dinner,had a suprised phone call from my host family from Hokkaido..They wished me happy birthday of course and planned to meet up in Nara.

Ps:exam is coming..no time to blog anymore..so,sorry ya..

ps2:my bandage is off,I still can't move my middle finger but it doesn't hurt thatmuch already..thank goodness.I still won't be completely recovered even when I go back Malaysia but no choice,just have to wait for it to recover slowly..blah..

~7th of Feb 2007~

Sorry for the so-not creative title..I'm just so not creative,so there..

I'm really damn frust about my finger,wondering why it took so long to recover..Now,I have been opening my bandage everyday when I bathe,and tried to move it,massage it as advised by the doctor..But no matter how I try,my middle finger still hurts and feels weak,I cant even lift it nor bend it,what more strecth it straight?

My palm is still swollen,the skin of my palm where my bone broke now is a vast difference from the rest of my hand..Its dark brownish black in colour.Its looks so scary that I sometime feel like breaking down,wondering why this freak accident happened..At first they say it'll take only six weeks to recover,it's now the 8th week,and I'm so nowhere near 'fully recovered'..

Even my classmates and teachers have been asking why I still haven't recovered..Am I being sensitive or they just take it for granted that within one month any sickness/bone-breaking will just automatically 'fully recover'?I guess they meant no harm,but everytime being asked,inside,I'm damn frust at my own bone for not recovering fast enough..I know these things can't be rush,but I'm starting to worry and getting impatient..

Because I'm turning 21.I can't celebrate with full joy because of my injury.I can't go karaoke with my friends because I cannot cycle my bike which is turning rusty.Hell,I can't even dress properly with finding clothes with huge sleeve opening..

Because exam is coming near.I can't erase properly,I can't draw lines with my ruler and I can't even open my book without preventing the pages turning over with my pencil box..I can't even write on pieces of paper cuz they will move..

Because I'm going back to Malaysia soon.How would I manage my luggage with a weak hand?I don't want to go back to Malaysia a handicapped person.Nor I want my 'mamak dates' or outings chat topics revolves only on my injured hand..Goodness,I can't even drive then!

Sigh,exam is near.I guess that's the main reason of my frustration.Studying not done.If I say because my hand needs extra care,I'll get comments like "what has your injured hand do with your brain?"Yea well,I get pissed off for the pages won't stay,the book flipping over,and when I need to do reference with another book,I can't open the other book without another huge effort..but still,I have to do it,I don't have a choice do I?I just feel like venting out,that's all..

~Recent happenings~

2nd of February..Jin's birthday..Had dinner at Bikkuri Donkey,everyone was late as usual..But I had a great time,it has been long since everyone gathered for dinner..

Guess who is the birthday boy??
Now you know the answer??

There was this farewell party for Tomoka too,she's leaving after finishing her third year.Gonna miss her so much.She's one of those who dare to talk to me the first few days,introducing me to the ESS club etc..So sad..

My class had took a lot of pictures using my cam to make a memoir for her,inserting pictures and small cards with notes written by each and everyone of the class..So,introducing..the more popular gals in my class...(who also took the most pictures...)
The whole group of gals,all 20 of them..excluding me(I went to the hospital when this was taken..)

Some guys and gals..

The 'brave' guy is on the left.. (and you guys ask me to give him a chance??no way...)

And the farewell party..

As for my hand,the pin was pulled out but it still hurts when I tried to move my fingers..Gosh,when I took out the cotton wool just now,it was soaked with blood.Cuz it's the first time I change my bandage after the pin was pulled out.It doesn't hurt VERY much but I do wonder when can I really move freely again
