1ST MEETING WITH MY OKAASAN~~

today teman zhong ing to her church near akashi eki.. 1st time enter proper church.. well.. not exactly 1st time... i'm pretty sure tua yee brought me there several times when i was very young but i hav no memory of it so it doesn't really count? hehe yesterday i emailed my host family (who by chance live near akashi eki) telling her i'd be teman-'ing' zhong ing.. and voila! she picked up the hint pretty fast and asked if we both wanna go her house after the church thingy.

the photo below is a bit fake since i'm not really tat close with her.. yet. we just met the 2nd time.. but o well.. 1st time went in a 'japanese-style' house. her name is kodama haha... same as my chemistry teacher back at ppktj. since we don't know the way to her house we met up at the station 1st.





she didn't cook beforehand so she brought us to the super in the eki (station) and bought many many obentou and some cakes...
the halaman rumah very nice.. the pathway to the door are blocks of flat stones with small flowers growing between them.
the house.. many many decoration

the ichigo very different from malaysia's. here really really sweet and tasty.. malaysia ones sour

the park in front of the eki

after tat we went tarumi-eki. which supposedly hav a outlet store like FOS selling cheap clothes... haha we managed to get to tarumi-eki no problem.. but we couldn't find the store. serves us right for not asking senpai properly b4 going.

today 's the 1st time we rode densha by ourselves.. this pic is part of the train's schedule at the eki. not included in the pic but the left side shows the hour..

me and zhong ing were like.. eh so weird? how come same hour same minute got 2 train come at the same time?
when we realised tat the small numbers in circles means which platform we shud be waiting at.... it was too late...

when reached uozumi eki had to run all the way back to hostel again for the 930 tenko..

a birthday card we made for linh.. supposedly his birthday is today. he has 2 birthdays.. something about dunno when his real birthday is..
