Day 12: Actually an old post...

Hello again...


I have so many things to write and now I probably lost most of them, like usual. LOL so much to myself, kkk~

Last week (or so), my high school friend Memel came back from Singapore. She's already back now, and she's there for internship. Anyway, she asked for a mini-reunion with me, Vina, Febby, Tania and Cassie. She even have a crazy idea of a photo studio session with our togas (graduation robes)!! LOL, these girls are so amusing~
So it was settled we will go to Taman Anggrek mall (TA) at 11 am...at last Saturday.

However at Saturday morning, she sms-ed me saying the reunion was postponed to 1 pm because Vina the cat has mandarin lesson in the morning and wanted to go to a hairdresser first (like OMG, they took this photo session really serious!!). Okay, it was fine, as long as they told me earlier.

The problem was, when I finally there at TA, I have to wait for them for 2 and a half hours!!! I even skipped lunch since I thought we'll have lunch together!!! I was tired of walking around all alone there, I even visited The Body Shop who has big sale at the time, trying some body mist and eau de toilette..only to find I'm allergic later.

In the end I texted them like this:

To Memel: Mel, are you guys on the way now?

No answer, so I tried again, to Vina's mobile this time.

To Vina: Meong, if we are about to cancel this, I still can call my chauffeur to pick me up.

They called me soon after. Memel kept apologizing, said that it was Vina's fault for taking too long at the hairdresser, she sang Super Junior's Sorry Sorry to me, but would that work? No, of course not. I was angry, really angry, but what can I do anyway? I'm tired, hungry and pissed.

After that I bought McDonald's choclate sundae, enough to stuff my stomach with anything, whatever. But after that I still have to walk around aimlessly again, waiting for those "nice" friends of mine.

Hello, ladies? YOU WERE MAKING ME WAIT FOR 2 AND A HALF HOURS ALONE JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR HAIR?????


When they finally arrived, I really wanted to explode. REALLY!!! But well, it's me, who is never can explode to someone dear to me. So I didn't explode but really showed them that I was pissed off, and they kept apologizing to me. Heh. At least they still have the manners to do so.

We took those photos after that, and it was quite fun. There wasn't much to tell except that the photos turned out to be both hilarious and disappointing. Vina's expression kept either pervy or silly, and she was always look at the camera (OMG, lw sadar kamera banget si bu???). My face was too....white. I guess it was because I mixed the UV and face powder too much. We even forced the tomboy Cassie to wear make-ups, and her toga wasn't hers in the first place~ Tania didn't have a toga, hers was rented when she graduated, and so she wore her doctor's jacket (for the lack of a better word).

The mix of UI graduate and Atmajaya graduate plus a doctor cum lecturer (yeah, right XD) were pretty interesting :P I wish I can upload the photos here but Memel hasn't uploaded them yet.




After that, we went to eat to Sour Sally. Sour Sally is the first frozen yoghurt in Indonesia. I'll skip the introduction for next time, I'll just say it's extremely popular but I found it....well, standard. The only thing capture my attention was it was very cold! Of course, it was frozen yoghurt. I picked the original taste with longan topping, it was pretty good. The other ordered the strawberrilicious (strawberry-flavored yoghurt) and matcha-flavored yoghurt. The last one didn't appeal to me since I don't like ocha for anything except for drink in its original taste: as a tea. We also ordered a waffle with yoghurt. Tania and Febby insisted me and Memel should try it since we were the ones who never tried Sour Sally before. The waffle came long after the yoghurt finished. And for your information, we ate in a record time: 3 minutes!!! And we ate the cool treats while chatting as normal girls do (LOL)~



When the waffle finally arrived, we attacked it without much further ado XDD It was so pretty with a swirled yoghurt on top plus some mochi toppings. But what we found the most delicious, at least me and Cassie did, was the waffle. It was tasty even without the yoghurt, I wish I can buy the waffle itself without any toppings whatsoever because I love it! This time we finished it in 5 minutes! LMAO!! We were a horde of hungry girls or what??

After that we just went strolling around, wasting time while waiting the photos to be developed. I think we visited some make-up shops because Vina needed a lecture of how to be a pretty woman, so to speak XD plus strolling around in Gramedia book store, because basically there was nothing we could do. They still have interest in comics and mangas it seems. Sadly I no longer interest in mangas. Now that I think of it, it's kind of weird. It feels like all of sudden I lost any interest of them and that's all.


Later, as promised before with me and Memel, we went to eat sushi!! YAY, i looooooveee sushi!!! e went to eat at Hachi Hachi, the same sushi restaurant where we celebrated Vina's birthday last year. Since Febby can't eat raw foods while Tania can't eat spicy ones, we ordered the same thing as last year's. I forgot the name already but they were mixed of sushi without raw ingredients. It was delicious!! Yummy~


















I ordered something like chocolate smoothies drink, the safest drink for me,kkkk~
Btw the second picture was the 2nd batch of sushi we ordered because apparently we indeed have huge stomach. After finishing the 1st order in record time (7 minutes!!!!), we decided we were still hungry.

Memel: Umm....I think I still hungry

Vina: Yeah, me too

Cassie: Is this even normal?

Tania: You don't know it? Sushi has such effect, you'll still feel hungry even after eat a lot of it, you only feel full some times after (this girl really is experienced in foods)

Vina: Okay, so we'll order something else?

Febby: Yeah, let's ask the waiter ofr the menu

All the while Cassie and I only looked amused XD And after the 2nd order was polsihed in another record time (NOTE: we are 6 girls with only a plate of sushi so you know lah....)

Febby: Who's still hungry?

Allexcme: ME!!

Me: You've got to be kidding me! How can you still hungry?? I'm already very full now!

Febby: But we still are! Are you sure you're full already?

Me: VERY!!!

Okay, so even though they said they were still hungry we stopped right there. Because, as Tania previously had said, we will feel full later. After that and fetched the photos, we went to Memel's house at Gang Kelinci. My dad will pick me up there while the others will have a sleepover. Funny was none of them brought a toothbrush, so hilarious these girls, I love them~

While waiting at Memel's house, we were indulged in various conversation like how to do CPR, comics, Super Junior....whatever. I sometimes in awe at how interesting girls' conversations can be, we can switch to one thing to another pretty fast.

Anyway, even though I was pissed at them earlier, I found myself cheerful and happy by the end of the day. I never can hate my friends, I love them to much to do so. They are precious to me....


And as an addition, I've met my junior high school friend Ella today. WOAH, SHE'S MARRIED ALREADY!!! With a white guy, and have a baby already too!! OMG~~~
Okay, no racist thing in previous words, I'm just amazed that's all. I'm happy for you, Ella!!! And I wonder if she's a model or something. She's tall and pretty, plus has a dark skin. Definitely has the cuts to be a model.


Okay, enough to write in a day. I'll continue tomorrow.....maybe..
So sorry for Vina and Cassie, I can't upload good pics of you....(Vina, you deserved it after made me wait that long!)


Let's call it a day now~

Day 10: Whut?

Hai thar today...


I've been attacked by a full boredom since yesterday and I wonder why. I have a lot things to do like mandarin (ugh!), checking my wardrobe, checking Glion website, searching for my lost photo CD, write down some recipes (halfway done), checking my shoes....eh, I even planned to bake brownies again but I'm too lazy to do it in the end.


And my brother sounds a bit pissed off since this noon. He keeps changing his facebook status with things like "AAAAAAAARRRGHHH!!" or "DO not disturb" or similar things that screamed "touch me and die. I'm totally pissed". I'm so used to hear him yelled or overall being PMS.





Oh oh oh yesterday I went shopping with mom, I finally bought red wine!! Yay, I miss drinking red wine so much (especially with my tummy problems)!! I drank two little cups already up till now :P
And when I strolled passed Starbucks, my friend Rendhy was there! Rendhy, why do every time I go to MKG you were never there? Wheh, but two thumbs up for you and Daniel! You two, along with Santi at SenCy are the ones who are still loyally work in our beloved cafe~ Obviously Clemens, Jack & me were retired already, though Clemns & me still often joke about customers XDD and of course, Ana was MIA since a long time ago. I wonder why. Was it just because her store is far from her campus?
Oh Rendhy, thanks for the free tall no whipped dark berry mocha <3 It was very very berry even though only a pump of syrup (but it's blueberry, no wonder....).I'm not really fancy it but it's not bad. I still prefer my beloved double choco cream chip (oreo, my barista partners said) or raspberry blackcurrant or a simple latte. Yummy~ I love milk hence the double choco cream chip, so what XD




Today is...la-la-laaaa.....Benito, you dork! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you have facebook??? Tsk, and here I thought you're already forgot about me, your DBSK/Suju/SHINee/FTTS BFF in crime (that's self-proclaimed, please ignore it). And now I see we do have different style of music....or maybe different ill too. I missed those times last year when you were asking me Noonan nomu yeppeo HQ MV after I gave you their 1st album and an LQ MV :P Not a dongbangers anymore hm? Well, that's okay. I am one too, I really missed their korean songs....just come back here misters XD
Why do I found it a bit hilarious now that you like Suju the most? Oh oh oh maybe because I was the one who gave you their old MVs plus some show clips and some MV behind the scenes/makings? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Speaking of korean fandom......I was scarred with 2NE1. Female Big Bang? Not that it was a bad idea for the group to make such a funky girl band but why do they have to announced it as female Big Bang? Their fame will be always related to BB itself, I really wish it won't be like that. I'm sure they can be famous on their own later but I really don't like such title.

Anyway.

The thing that scarred me was a performance video of the girls I saw in youtube, thanks to my meimei Pei. Well, i was impressed at 1st, this is the 1st girl singers I've ever seen dancing with sneakers instead of high heels in k-music...well, just as far as I have seen though. BUT it was totally destroyed by the magnae's chest pumps.

HELLO, HELLO. CHEST PUMPS. CHEST PUMPS?????

A young woman did chest pumps??? And the youngest of the four at that!!! OMG what were they thinking, making such a young woman did chest pumps?? EWWWWW!!!! Totally inappropriate both for me & my meimei!!!

Btw their style are so...uh....BB horrible style. They might think it's funky but not for me....


I suddenly remember my drema last night. I was in a kind of military team consisted of 3 women & a man as the team captain. One of the other women was Li Yu Chun, the famous chinese androgyny singer (I mean she's a total tomboy). I was the one with the heaviest weapon sets too. Just like Vasquez in the old movie "Alien". The setting was in a modern city below a hill or mountain,and we were armies in an academy that, weirdly, was focused in languages. So all projects were about language & how to overcome language barriers.


.....ROFLMAO much?


Seriously, armies in language academy?



Well. Random dream but quite entertaining I should say.


Okay so I have enough rantings for the day. Let's go back to (ugh!) mandarin now.

Zhao ju zhao ju...


I'll call it a day now.

Day 5: shopping, food, headache, prayer

I wonder if it's a good day....


Well, obviously yesterday was a good day. I chatted with ShinyIslandMan, as usual, but that was the first time we talked about fashion XD we both love Korean fashion though she loves tomboy and casual style while I like both casual and dresses....
She was complaining of how her mom doesn't approve her clothing style, auntie wants her to wear dresses like me :P

See, this is my dress~
Auntie wants her to wear something like this (ShinyIslandMan told me so).

To be honest I'm a bit embarrassed too, this one seems so flowery but since she said it's not childish and I will look good in it, okay then.

Btw ever since I bought this one, I started to enjoy looking at dresses. Before I wasn't confident enough to wear dresses, skirts or shorts. I only wear jeans. But now I guess it's about time I give it a try. I'm old enough to do so 0(^.^)0

Anyway, today I went shopping with mom at Mangga Dua. Originally we wanted to buy stockings and purse for me, plus looking around just in case we find some nice sweaters for winter. In the end, I bought a simple grey dress, mom bought a blouse, and it was only much later when we decided to go home when we finally found a kiosk that sells stockings, socks and tights (which are what I bought). Mom said I should wear dresses more often since I'm "still young, beautiful and fair-skinned". Aiya....

Anyway ever since we found out I have cholesterol problem, I've been trying to eat oatmeal at least once a day. I like oatmeals, I can eat it with whatever foods available in my house as long as it has broth or a soup. Yesterday I ate oatmeal with opor and today I ate it twice with burger meat and cap cay (however I suppose to write it anyway?).

But the so-called lowering cholesterol rate (I don't know how to write this either) was epically failed when mom decided we will buy KFC for me & gege's lunch. Oh man.....and here I thought I could skip junk foods for a while......

And then, I don't know why, the moment we reached home, I got massive headache. My head was pounding (and perhaps still is now, I'm not sure), maybe because we got home late and I'm not used to eat late like that. It was already 4 PM when I finished lunch and bathed, it was too late to catch a nap so I just browsed internet and played Coffee Buzzed as usual.

Well, at least I'm not in a total bad mood like the other day.

Btw dad lost his StarOne sim card. Why are all the men in my house so careless and ignorant??? Like father like son.......


I was chatting with Siska for a while before I write this, she is eating dinner now. Since I often online, she always seeks for advices to me.

I want to pray a bit here, since I usually can't even open my heart enough to see things in my heart.

Lord, I want to thank You for letting me feel like this. Ever since I was little I always let people take advantage of me. I let my childhood friends copied homeworks I had done with so much efforts and they didn't even thank me. I let them ignored me after all I've done to them. However during my later days, You has made them open my eyes of how annoying I was being. Now I am changed and I hope for the good. I often feel lonely, which I know mostly because my friends are already working or because they still think I'm the annoying girl from the past, I try not to care too much. Lord, I thank You for giving me blessings, for letting me develop the thought of trying to see everything form every sides available. I am most grateful that I can share my past experiences to my younger friends: ShinyIslandMan, Ari and Siska. I feel like an older sister for them and I really grateful for the chance You're giving to me.
I am grateful I have Widi as my friend, even though I feel neglected at times, it's always me who calls her and never her to me. I understand though, she is more charming and friendly, she has a lot of friends who care. I'm not the only one but I'm still happy and proud she still sees me important.
Lord, I know I'm materialistic, I always greedy and selfish, always want more and more than I should have to. Still, this is what You gave me to control myself, I trust You and I know this is an imprtant lesson from You. I love You for every single thing You gave me and plan for me, whatever it will be. Please guide my way so that I still can be myself and not walk into the wrong path.

Amen.


I'll call it a day now.

Day 4: family, food, Church

I have a long day today


I started the day with fair mood but it changed through the day. See, today I was supposed to go to Mangga Dua to buy clothes and other things necessary for school abroad. She told me to prepare early. Turned out she has to help dad in surgery until 11.30 am and of course it wasn't what I think "early". Still mom insisted I have to go. I've tried to tell her that I wasn't in the mood anymore but did she listen to me? Like usual, no. She just went "okay be prepared, as soon as your dad finished lunch we'll go"...........and I was saying "I'm not in the mood..." but she just cut me in the middle.

What the.......well, that was enough to make me pissed.

But then just when I was trying to get up and change my clothes, she yelled from downstairs that we'll just go at Monday since she was tired and so did dad.


Why am I still upset about this? My opinions are rarely matters to them. Friends and family wise.

I remember when I was in school, from primary school until university, people rarely listen to me. I still remember when Etas snapped at me just because I was telling her about Kakek and his book. Furthermore, during our graduation day preparation, some of my friends who were the dominant voices in our grade went off to take some pics at kompleks candi. They just left Chibi, Ufie, Himmi and me, who were sitting on another table next to them in kansas, as if we weren't there.

If it was just me, I'm not surprised anymore. But they even left Ufie, Himmi & Chibi who are close to them!!! Such a nice friend....


Anyway, since today is Waisak and dad doesn't need to go to Depok, mom decided we would go to Church this evening. Yes, we did go but once again this so called "discrimination" occurred.

As usual, mom took a nap in my room. She seemed surprised when she saw my window's tills were dusty and began complaining that our maid hasn't clean it properly. (I'm not surprised really. Any normal human will found it annoying to clean things until no dust appear at all every single day, even mom does when our maids are going back home during Lebaran. But since maids' jobs are to clean I guess I have nothing to say). Then she told me to clean it, and so does my bamboo tablet, and she said it has to be clean when she woke up.

I've chose to do it later, I need to do my "meditation"......walking around the room with music in my ears. When mom woke up and saw me meditating and the window tills still dusty, she muttered under her breath "always says yes but not doing it" and then went out to take washcloths and gave one to me, silently orders me to clean my bamboo.

Mom didn't trust me, huh? Should I laugh or what?

But it really made me pissed.


And then it happened again.

I was already bathed from an hour & a half before, just because I have to apply make-up. But at the supposed departure time, my dad & gege haven't even take a bath! And I still could here Merlin's theme song from downstairs.........meaning that they were still watching TV. I asked my mom if we were really going and she simply said "Yes, we are! Dad & gege just need 5 minutes to bath!".

Okay, I know it, so I didn't rushing in changing. But then, when gege was in the bathroom after dad, mom came to my room and scolded me when she saw I still combing my hair and haven't change my clothes yet. Then she yelled again to hurry when I was in the toilet.


Do I......really have to say anything at all?


I was totally grumpy on the way to Church.

I don't know why, but Church is really a holy place I think. Either that, or it's because I'm raised as a good Catholic girl, I always found the Church so calming and nice. Even though I never say out loud the prayers, always mouthing only, and never sing any song, just listening to others sing them. No matter how bad my mood was when I entered the Church, I always feel better after the sermons ended (only failed once but usually like this) and that was what happened today.

Choi Siwon and Kim Junsu, We will be good friends indeed. I have to bring my rosary (and perhaps my bible and puji syukur too, if it's not too heavy) to Glion, and I have to find an English Catholic Church there or I'll really going to die of depression!!


By the way it happened again after sermons. During the last speech in Church I asked mom what will we have for dinner and my mom suggested to eat at Sate Senayan. She refused to eat Dudung (mutton soup) because the soup has a lot of fats and we both have cholesterol problems. So I agreed, we would eat satay.

Then when mom asked dad & gege in the car, gege seemed hesitant because he wanted to go home for work and he complained he always unlucky at choosing food in Sate Senayan. Dad then suggested Dudung take-away when he heard mom told him that was what I previously suggested. And then what happened? Mom said "Okay, Dudung then"

......................OMG?

And then gege suddenly said it was okay to eat satay and....of course we finally ate dinner at Sate Senayan.



Well.

Dad always the first in our family and gege always the second. I'm always at the bottom line.


I'm still irritated at being ignored but not as grudging as earlier today.


I'll just go do my mandarin homework now.


GANBATTE!!! JIA YOU!!! FIGHTING!!!!



I'll call it a day now.

Day 3: noise, strawberries

Good day


I woke up late again. I really need a stronger alarm I think. And I have a weird dream too, involving 2PM.......dorks are annoying me even in my dream XDD


Anyway, interesting things happened during today's mandarin lesson.

When i was arrived, there was lao shi's friend who was being treated with acupuncture by her. Then she moved to lao shi's room so we could start the lesson.

Half an hour later, Andre, a high school student who is also lao shi's student, came joined us.

Then the next -door neighbor, I don't know what happened, but it sounded like they were arguing and with a very loud voice too. And from somewhere, I don't know from inside the house or outside, there was a mandarin song being played. Probably a karaoke video or radio. Then when lao shi's friend came out of the room to the bathroom, the dog inside the house started barking. Hearing that, the poodle outside was also barking.

When the fried decided to go home, lao shi has to go out since her friend's house key was inside lao shi's car. Of course, the dogs were barking again when they heard their noises. It was soooo noisy!!!

As if they weren't enough, when lao shi was outside, the phone was ringing too!

It was utter chaos!!! So much noise & so many things happened at once Andre and I started to laugh at the situation~
And we didn't know where was nan lao shi at the time, he was suddenly dissapeared!!


After that, there was nothing interesting except Andre wrote 玉 (which lao shi said as king, I thought it was jade) upside down because he copied how lao shi wrote it for him and she was sitting in front of her XDDDD


When I got back home, I was too tired and lazy to cook steak like mom told me so. I just decided to eat pork meatballs from my yiyi.


Speaking of foods....I've ate a lot of strawberries today :P

At noon mom gave me some cut into pieces strawberries she bought from the market this morning. She also told me there was a strawberry juice in the fridge and i have to drink it before it turns bad (I drank it after my so late evening lunch).

Just now, right before I write this entry, she came with another set of strawberries.


I don't mind, strawberries are delicious and healthy......but I found it funny how much strawberries inside my tummy in a day~


Oh and I got another spam message in MSN via my meimei's account. That needs-to-get-a-life-person really annoying......tsk....

I'm currently chatting with ShinyIslandMan so...


I'll call it a day~

Day 2: fish, chicken, oatmeal

Good day.....(just a greeting)


Today I woke up at 10 AM.......two hours late from my original plan T_____T

It wasn;t exactly my fault. I slept at 3 AM because my friend Siska has poked me in MSN and it's been a long time since I talked with her. Besides, the content of our convo was interesting. VERY interesting.

I never expected one of the hotel school in Switzerland could be so....low-maintained or whatever good word I should put inside. She said she got bitten by insects (read: kutu kayu/kutu busuk) and the school wasn't taking care of the problem seriously! Some students already reported the case before but they did not get any response. At least now the school is taking care of it.....after they reported to the Headmaster. When Siska check her itchy bumps (yg 1 infeksi pula) to the school nurse, she (or he) insisted that it wan't because of the kutu. How irresponsible of them in handling the students' care & well-being.

The moral of the case: studying abroad isn't that cool.

Anyway


I went to Fish Spa with mom, gonggong and yiyi this noon. Fish spa....sounds weird but it's true. They said the fish eat our skins (baca: kulit ari) and it will make our skin healthier, with less unneeded skin.

(You know what I mean but I'm trying hard to write journals in english)

The moment we sat down in the fish tank, the fishes immediately attacked gonggong's feet. Wow, his feet must be very tasty and have lots of fish food. Mom, on the other hand, barely got any fish visiting her feet because she often scrubs her feet during bath time. Yiyi got some fishes too...........and it took a long time for the fishes to come to me, maybe because my skin is dry and chapped (yah pokonya kering lah) so the fishes have to wait until it soften.

If you ask me how it feels like.......well, i feel kesemutan. Whatever the word in english XDD


Ok, ticklish and kesemutan (still whatever the english word is). It was ticklish at first sinc ethere were only 2 or 3 fishes came to me but after yiyi out of the tank, I got more. About 6 perhaps.
Then after gonggong out of the tank??

O.O fully kesemutan I'd say.....

They were attacking me aalmost as soon as gonggong out!!!! Wow, it was a bit scary sight to see (fishes eat your feet??)
At least I'm assured that dead people in the sea.........ehm......well.........I'll censore what was I going to say. Yeah.

Btw after that we went to eat with another yiyi......and she brought her armies: her daughters, her grandchildren, and the baby sitter. I wasn't surprise anymore, it's nothing new.

Mom said my biaomei looks old with the glasses she was wearing. I'm not sure if it's true or not. She's always extrovert and stylish and daring compared to me.

Back to the topic.......I can't believe such a nice and comfy restaurant can forgot a customer's request. They really forgot my chicken katsu!!! I was left sms-ing with Ci Clif talking about Siska and Ade for a while before my biaojie decide to ask about my order. And when it arrived, it only has small prtion of grated carrot. And they wrote "with salad" in the menu. The only thing good was the kefir, the yoghurt like drink. It was very sour, exactly what I wanted.



Please, Solaria is much better than this (and with the same price too!)........


As for dinner, I was too lazy to cook so I've decided I'll just have oatmeal eaten with leftover veggie soup. The latter was my mom's suggestion since I didn't have any idea what to eat with the oatmeal and I can't eat it plain.
But when I opened the oatmeal package, I found there were things like........sticky things. Like kutu beras that left some sticky things to the rice or Japanese natto (hey, no bad feelings for the natto, they are quite tasty for me anyway). Mom said it's bad already so......bye bye my oatmeal dinner! (sigh)

In the end I have to cook my favorite dish, beef kailan, with mom. That's better than having nothing to eat. Hhhh....


So many things can happen in a day, yeah? Now I hope I'll remember to bring my camera the next time we go to Fish spa again....if there is a next time....


Now let's call it a day.....

Day 1

Let's start the day



This is not the first attempt of writing a blog......

....and I'm already at a loss of what to write >.<


Okay, I'll start to write about myself first.

I'll be 23 this year.....no wait....I'll be 23 soon. I was born in the year of tiger and I'm of Chinese descent. I have an older brother & we both are living with my parents. I'll be out of the house soon though, I'm going to Switzerland for Postgraduate Study.

Speaking of PG, I'm a bit worried about this one. Sure, I was living in a dorm during my university days, but Switzerland is far far away from home plus -probably- with a very different cultures. I just hope I'll do everything right. The school fees & living costs are way to expensive and the last thing I want to do is burden my parents even more.

I've been stressing over those problems since I've first decided I'll continue my study there. Then again, is it really my decision at all? I've decided to take the study because:
1. my former study in Japanese major isn't enough for me
2. cultural study & translations aren't highly appreciated by my countrymen
3. being raised in a country with such stereotypes has made me doubt my future living & welfare

.....maybe those 3 are enough for now.


I should check whatever things I need to bring there....


I guess it's enough for the first blog.


I'll call it a day then.
