Jan - Feb 2010

After the girls left, weeks of house searching, moving in and basically settling down, I finally had time to start hanging out with my classmates and well .. a LIFE.

School has been GREAT! I've never been so enthusiastic about studying EVER in my entire life and I kid not! Despite having homework and tests almost everyday, I actually do enjoy going to school very much! It could perhaps be the environment, friends, the language or even a combination of all.


I recently had a School Sports Day Meet last Friday at the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center and here are some pictures from the event!

With Shuui - so cuteeee!!! <3

After the Sports meet, our teachers treated us to Lunch!! :heart:

A few of us then headed to a fellow classmate's house at SAITAMA (outskirt of Tokyo) for a night of drinking, food and korean card game~

Road to my friend's place - Love this shot XD


Check out the number of bikes at the parking lot!!


Our Dinner!


Learned a new game called "go-stop" from the Koreans.These pretty cards are called Hwatu. It originated from Japan though and they are called Hanafuda. 本当におもしろかった!


my cards XD the game is really really fun!


where we slept



Yep it was a really fun weekend and I enjoyed it alot! It was like being back in high school again and I really loved it! :heart:

So anyway, I've also been pretty much addicted to the Izakayas (居酒屋) in Japan! Alcohol is sooo much cheaper than back home and I love the drinking and eating culture here. IT IS AWESOME!

Izakayas are awesome FUN! BUT they suck your money like no one's business!


I also managed to spend more time with B1 eating yummy cakes and desserts, watching Saw 6 (my first movie in Japan! SUPER EXPENSIVE! D=) and just chilling out! =D

Did I mention I managed to catch Chester and his side project Dead By Sunrise at Shibuya AX? It was really short like how all their lives are but omg it was great!! It was really different compared to the live that LP gave in Singapore. Chester and band really seem to like Japan alot and they were PUNCTUAL! D=

Min and I were really high and being able to see Chester once again was so much love! <3
