9/9/09 : pool at baaba's place

hey guys i ish back~!!
it took me quite a while, (4 months actually) but i finally realised something... and that is if i wait till i'm free to write my blog, i'll end up never writing it. so here i am, at 2.23am, drinking ipoh white coffee, listening to hitz fm, typing away... with tons of undone tasks tat must be finished somehow b4 the sun rises... and believe me, the damn sun rises pretty early lately in japan -.-


kimchi gyoza~
joyce, me and zhong ing made it to take to baaba's house (one of the okaasan in the host family programme) cos they figured it would be too uncivilised to go baaba's house empty-handed. it was unexpectedly easy to make: cut kimchi and cabbage into eety biity pieces, mix with pork, wrap it, fry-voila~! it tasted fine... really!

While we were weathering away in the kitchen, our dorm's 寮母 (ryoubou) aka some aunty who take care of us gals in the girl's dorm, strolled in

" こんにちは、テンさん元気ですか”　（good afternoon, how you doing teng-san)...

　"。。。はい、元気です。” (... yea i'm good)

"あのね。。。悪いけど、OOさんが来ますから、廊下 掃除して。”
(i know it's bad of me, but OO san is coming over for an inspection, can u please clean up the corridor etc etc)

Japanese somehow have this thought tat ppl will feel better if they cushion what harsh things or requests they are about to say if they ask about the weather or your health 1st. hehe



We reached baaba's house around 1230, 30 minutes malaysian style late, of course =P ( we were suppposed to be there at 12 ), but you know me, i never forget my duty as a foreign student to introduce malaysian culture

anyway, we reached there washed hands (cos of the influenza), sit down, eat

and eat and eat and eat and talk until 630pm when we head to the pool in the gym baaba goes. hehe my 4th time in the pool (i've been sneaking into our sch's pool at nite to learn how to swim this past week). the swimming intructor at the gym's pool was really good. really learned a lot more compared to malaysian's intructor according to zhong ing, who took a week of swimming lessons in sibu b4 coming to japan.

around 10 we finally head out to
eat and eat and eat



and when we finally reach the dorm it was already past 12...

and tat's a day in my life... kk i seriously need to take care of my other tasks ady. ciaoz
