btw im super chatty today cos i only had four hours sleep cos i woke up at 3 to watch japan play brazil. :p
thank you very much, now.
i never thot i`d say this but..WOOHOO!!! im going back to DC!haha not tt i haven:t been having fun. ive been EATING liike you dont know. and i loove food. so of cos its been fun. except the times like now when i ate so much i feel like puking. haha anyway im still actually pretty ready to go home. its been getting tiring. then again today might be especially bad cos i woke up last nite at 3am to watch japan play brazil. HAHA. yea. so i had like less than 4 hrs sleep last nite and emily says i look exhausted but i actually dont think i feel as bad as i do on normal days. i guess im always sleepy no matter how much i sleep haha :p
anyway ive been stocking up on jap cookies/crunchies/sweets to bring back for ppl but i just realized tt i seriously dont have enough. crap. and im down to my last 10 bucks....HAHA. noo i didn:t spend all the money. i actually still have liek a third of it left but its all in the bank and i cant find a bloody atm tt takes my american atm card. SOB. so now i have to plan carefully wat i buy.. i cant DO THIS. im an impulse buyer!
anyway. we:re going to nikko tmrw and apparently they`re supposed to be famous for their onsen. (sp?) in other words, public bathe. 1 word.
nude. there is NO WAY JOSE IN THE WORLD EVER NEVER EVER EVER NEVER am i going in. haha so im gna politely refuse their offer. somehow. if i can figure out how to say it in japanese. haha but even if i dun figure out how to say it, ill say im too tired/not feeling well but they can still go. haa. you see if they ALLOWED at least a swim suit (i`d even settle for a bikini!) in the dumb bathe i`d go in in a heartbeat. but nooo. totally stark.. GAH. no way. ever. ew. haha
AND IM IPODLESS NOW.
im super upset i actually almost cried. haha i told emily about it and she said i looked like i was seriously gna break down and cry. hahah im SORRY but i need my ipod!! im dying without my music..! )): so like first thing when we touch down in DC im gna get my dad to drive me quickly to like the shopping mall nearby and im gna run into the apple store.
i CANT TAKE IT ANYMOOORE. haha how dramatic..
anyway ive officially been to harajuku and shibuya like 3 times. haha kanoko and her mum found it really funny cos ive been there more often this month than they have. haha GRINS. what can i say. lol so i offered to take emily there today cos she hasn:t been there yet yea it`s awesome tt i get to show someone else around now instead hahah but im not sure if she can make it )): i hope so.. or i`ll have nothing else to do today. groans.
alriteys keyboards going wonky again
SEE YOU GUYS
REAL SOON!!
thank you very much, now.
guess who`s coming back to siiiiingapoore!
im excited to think tt this time next week.... oh wait nvm. i`ll still be in DC.
BUT this time next week i`ll be packing for singapore! maybe. actually i prob wun start packing til thurs nite. cos we dun leave til fri. haha but i`ll be super excited!! i AM super excited!
not tt i haven:t enjoyed myself here... but honestly, i think im a little tired of japan.
i had the most fun in kyoto and hiroshima cos it was more like a holiday than the rest of this has been. im just super tired of having to listen so hard to japanese conversations just to be able to understand the little words here and there if i do understand anything at all. pooh.
not tt i haven:t improved tho. i think i understand way more than i did when i first came. altho my vocab still has much to be desired. haha
OH and i learned english here too! LOL. like before i came i totally didnt noe how to spell medieval okay. i couldve sworn it was midevil. but apparently not.. haha and em and i had to help a couple of the japanese girls check their essays so we prob had gd practice there like, editing and stuff. parts of it kinda got into an eng grammar debate which really hurt my head cos i especially hate grammar. haha but anyway we both read the same thing as a diff meaning so we were debating what the girl meant. but it was easier when one of the teachers who`s pretty fluent in eng came to kinda translate wat she was saying to us. haha aaaand i dont exactly noe why im telling you this so. moving on. lol
right i actually dont really have much of a purpose for blogging today, except that tea ceremony lessons (...question mark. haha) finished earli so im in the libs now just doing nothing... im meeting rii after skl today. oh CRAP. the weird japanese keyboard is acting up again so im gna stop here. ugh. i hate this. haha
see ya`ll soon!
i prob wont be around IJ till like the 4th or 5th day im in spore tho.. cos i arrive super earli fri morn. and i wanna go do my hair before anyone sees me HAHA. i sound like a total bimbo but heck care. lol oh and pls. if i have an accent. which i hope i dont. im trying to get back my singlish okay. so slap me (lightly.. haha) if i speak funny :
thank you very much, now.
okay i m sorry i noe tt post was like ultra weird but i seriously dun noe how to work this com
so i promise i:ll fix it when i get home. hahah this dumb thing keeps copying and pasting things i dun want it to copy and paste! and it:s randomly underlining sentences and starting over again. UGH. -.-
thank you very much, now.
im in
love!hahah i found a new brand of POKEY and its soo good you don:t understand! even tho pockey actually IS the brand name. it:s just i dunno wat the thing itself is called. so i:ll call it the choc/strawberry flavoring covered stick thing. haha so anyway! i found a new brand of haha so anyway! i found a new brand of the choc/strawberry flavoring covered stick thing! haha apparently its called ichigo? dont ask me what tt means. haha i cant read the kanji on the box so im just reading the eng me what tt means. haha i cant read the kanji on the box so im just reading the eng letters and the hiragana. haha tt happens often. or rather like majority of the time. i can read the hiragana but i cant make any sense of it. haha which is y my reading is like super awkward. cos ill be like. a-na-ta-no-to-mo-da-chi-wa... haha and i sound super spaz okay. like im some retard. so im probably phrasing things like. `in kamakura the big. Buddha is. famous.` hahaha it:s so sad. but at least the nice ppl haven:t laughed at me yet. lol alriteys.
um tmrw we:re gg to kyoto and hiroshima. SHOPPING. haha i plan to do most of prezzie shopping there i guess. so i:ve been (kinda. to an extent. heh) saving up and trying not to blow it all on one thing. but i think ive been doing well. considering i haven:t needed to draw any of my ive been doing well. considering i haven:t needed to draw any of my emergency money yet. haha when we went to hawaii last yr with the ij choir i spent EVERYTHING. including emergency money. and tt was within like 5 days. so yes. yay me. lol oh that shopping trip with the returnees went really well actually. there were times of awkward-ity (hah? ) but other than tt i think we talked quite a lot. we took neoprints too so i:ll put :em up when we get back. and sorry about the weird : everywhere. it:s just tt it:s on the same key where we normally have the ' so yes. haha and im too lazy to fix it cos this com is so ultra super weird..
okie so it:s been raining quite a bit recently and genius me. only brought like 2 pairs of sneakers genius me. only Brought like 2 pairs of sneakers and flip flops? FLIPFLOPS. like wth was i thinking i seriously don:t noe okay. hahah but yea so we need one pair of indoor shoes for the pretty gym inside and one for normal wear. which limits me to ONE pair of shoes to wear everywhere else! bloody shit. hahah so my poor (once clean) converse shoes look like they:ve reached the end alr. but everyone says they:re pretty! GRINS. haha i drew on them before i left. pretty ironic actually. cos like before i left i was trying ironic actually. cos like before i left i was trying for MONTHs to make them look a bit older cos they looked so stupidly new. so there i was like walking in mud everywhere trying to get them a bit dirty. but for some reason it
always washed off. but now like i think i destroyed them cos it was raining pretty heavily Tt day and ppl were ready to go but my shoes take mi forever to tie (im bad with laces like that, im sorry! hahah) so yes anyway so i just slipped them on, like u noe how when just slipped them on, like u noe how when u dun bother to put on sneakers properly u just slip it on and then the heel part ends up under ur heel instead of having ur foot inside the whole shoe? so basically like a flip flop. but not? haha yes like that. so now the heelish part of my shoe looks all worn and torn haha oops.
oh and weirdness of it all. like mrs wu (my jap teacher in e states) is here today. HAHA. so me and emily are gna go meet up with her later. i hope she doesn:t expect my jap to have improved like a lot or anyth... okay and im scared cos i din see her before we left either. aka. i didn:t collect my jap exam. and i dun think i did very well on it cos i was losing steam by e time i took it so it prob wasn:t my best work SOBS. i think i:ll just tell her tt i:d rather not know. haha right now. the only thing i want to noe. is whether or not i get to go to 11th year. :S cos i din check my geog exam ppr either thinking i:d be happier without it. so for all i noe i could still be a sophmore if i din pass tt ppr. CRIES. OH and we went to the Auzzie embassy today. yea. in japan. weird. hahah but we went with one of the eng classes. i guess it was pretty interesting. i felt smart tho. hahah cos one of the questions was the capital of Auzzie. and i actually knew the answer thanks to GEOGRAPHY. yea. as much as i hate to admit it. i think geog was one of the best courses i ever took. pft. haha anyway so emily thot it was sydney but i knew it was canberra. yea. so yay me! haha
OH!!! and yesterday we played bball during pe and O.M.G.
guess who scored a goal! hahah i was so shocked! i was like just standing there and this girl was blocking me and i just took a shot and i got it in! woo hoo!! haha altho it probably helped tt we were in asia again and i wasn:t the shortest person around. haha but now im proud ofmyself. grins. haha
and i
finally managed to talk my dad into letting me buy one of those electronic dictionaries tt:s like so common here. if i find one good one tt:s not too ex i think im gna get it. its SO useful. and i promise myself (and the parents. groan haha) not to use it so that i become `lazy to learn the language`. as they said. haha okay i `lazy to learn the language`. as they said. haha okay i actually gtg meet wu sensei now. haha
ja-atode! (:
my feet are soggy and prune-y. ):
thank you very much, now.
okay i actually really need to study japanese right now. but. i really dont want to. haha okay jaappan so far has been pretty interesting. despite the fact i actually dont like history so much, kamakura was pretty cool. (or kakkouii, as they say here. haha new vocab word! woo hoo.) anyhoo. ive been pretty much crashing at like 10.30 everyday. hahah which is bloody pathetic cos i never have any time to do any of the japanese work im supposed to be doing. but tt:s okaay... i guess. haha anyway i went to shibuya and harajuku!! major shopping places in japan. kakkouii places too. haha i feel cool. nOt. everyone here is super pretty and the guys are super hot. grins. hahah not tt ive really met any. most of the ppl ive gone out with are uni ppl cos kanoko (my host sis) is in the uni, not the high skl. so her friends she introed me to are all in uni. btw one of her guy frens is pretty cute. hahah not tt i would:ve told anyone tt. hmhm. lol
anyway u noe how in the newspapers u read about how japanese put on like LOADS of weight when they go to the US and lose it all again when they come back here? total BS okay. haha im so serious. i think ive put on like 1098530498023 kg since i came cos the family is super sweet and caring and they think i dun eat enough so they keep FEEDING me like nonstop haha and i feel so bad about refusing food cos they go out of their way to prepare things for me and if i dun eat it i feel bad but then again if i do i feeel bad cos i noe im putting on like 10432852039851930 kg. haha so its like a no-win situation dude. sucks. GROAN
i cant image what im gna look like when i come back frm spore too. haha i:ll prob be TWICE 1350910895028842! sheeshies. ive alr made my list of stuff to do in spore and, inevitably, my list of food is like waaaay longer than anything else. hahah :p
anyway im gg to shibuya again today with some of Kanoko:s juniors (thank god, their returnees -aka ppl hu lived overseas before- so their eng is fluent.) i feel suuuper horrible becos the ppl here are so nice and generous and they keep giving me things but i dunno how to say THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH in any other way than aligatou gozaimasu. which everone uses like for everday things. so i cant express myself! plus i cant speak much japanese cos there`re soo many things i dunno how to say and if i actually think about a sentence it might take mi like 4542years to figure it out so i look stupid just standing there and they eventually think i have nth to say/im really dao so a lot of the time i have to resort to eng and then i realise i DO noe how to say it and i feel terrible!! sobs. haha long sentence sia.
alriteys. im excited to go backk!! 360hrs and 10 mins!! (:
thank you very much, now.
im in japan!
ive been meaning to blog abt the trip here and wat we`ve done so far but i keep running out of time. so i:ll be back ta!
