the day we went to みさき公園 to experience swimming with the dolphins!!
need money of course. i think we spent around SGD100 for that and entrance fee for the park.
it consist of zoo and amusement park and water park which each ride requires separate payment =.= don't understand hor. 

anyway, this is our main purpose.. やっぱり可愛いよイルカ!
so cuteeeeee okay, picture of the day, it kissing me :D

was kinda scared at first becoz duno how to swim!! 
but got wear a small life jacket. when get used to it really fun! haha and makes me wants to go swimming and i wanna learn swimming properly. ちゃんと習いたいの!
but summer is ending and i guess i have to wait one more year to get into water.

After we left the park, went to a near by beach (the first time i visit Osaka beach)
It's the same as what people said about Osaka sea.. dirty.
but not by trash but by tree branches, whole bunch of them. the water is pretty clear though.

…it’s nostalgic. Music allows me to remember the past even more clearly.

Picture
These primary 5 boys posing for me when i was taking photo of the school hall.

On Tuesday, Mika, Omar and I went to this Japanese Elementary School for cultural exchange and introduce about our own countries to the primary 5s. They are so cute and welcoming i really like themmm! x)
Picture
Picture
After our presentation, they performed Japanese dance for us, and then they taught us too! 
they danced really well, when everyone did it together. 
it was easy but really tiring! my legs hurt after that lol. yappari kids are so genki naa~ xD

Picture
we were divided into 3 classes and this is my class, we had lunch together in the classroom (:

The kids had their shodou (calligraphy) class that day. 
Speaking of which, we had it too! and it's my favourite subject but we had to skip it T_T
Picture
By the way, the teacher of this class was a good-looking young man, hahahaha!
TOO BAD i didn't take any photo with him 
or with my class because we didn't have enough time >_<
for some reason, some kids started asking for our signatures and everyone else came asking for one too.
the next photo could be a good one but the person who help us took it accidentally zoomed in and she didn't even know but i couldn't blame her, coz she's an old lady -_-
Picture
maa ii ka, i like this girl anyway (:
and then i took one myself! but i still hoped i took a close one with them.
i really did missed them ahh
Picture
before we say our goodbyes, one boy from my class confessed to me infront of everyone lol.
such a joke. lol how old do u think i am? 
but it was cute xD and i gave him a handshake and a hug as i was told lol.
We wished we could stay longer but we had to leave as planned ):
anyhow, 楽しかったよ (:


Picture
The four of us, (me, yoshi, dani, and lucas) being the only one who came from our own country, (Singapore, Hawaii, Brazil, and Argentina) is what we have in common, and maybe how we came together.

On Friday, we are at 回転寿司!
coz it was Lucas's birthday and he wanted to eat it, so does everyone in dorm so it was a big group of us who went. Fortunately we are able to make reservation!
FYI, it's almost impossible to make reservations in restaurants in Japan, idk why, they just don't.
soooo, aren't we lucky! ;)
Picture
my favourite photo and

a group photo (: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS!!
Picture
most of us went back home while the rest went drinking.
i really wanted to go with them and i would, if i drink. but i don't. and i dislike. 
but i wished i could. don't understand and can't understand why people like to drink.
almost all my friends drink. friends in Singapore. どうしてだろう?
そんなに美味しいの?どう飲んでもわからない。
正直、お酒を飲むことが楽しそう。だから好きになりたい。でもならない。
まあ、いいことじゃない?シンは女の人だから xD
でもやっぱり、友達と楽しみたいなあ〜 飲まないとつまんないねえ〜
だから行かなかった。
うわーつい日本語で書いちゃった!xD
i mean i want to be able to like drinking like my friends, but i just can't and the only reason i want to come to like drinking is because i want to have fun with them. in the end, i'm still a playful person though i might not look like it :p

Picture
hehe, we made this on Saturday at a school specialised in handmade jewellery/accessories.
the tools reminded me of DNT class in secondary school. 何か懐かしい〜
Picture
and this thing is almost pure silver.
Picture
this room interior design is kinda cool isn't it? i quite like the working environment (:

Ahhhh! i forgot to mention that i went to shinsaibashi that morning with dani to check out the red coat i was eyeing on.. AND I BOUGHT IT!! :DD 手に入れた!!よかった〜^^
でも私と一緒に行くためにダニがあまり寝られなくて何か申し訳ない。
ありがとう

so anyway, after the workshop, i went shinsaibashi again with Anan and Jinny! 
since it's really close by and we had Okonomiyaki for dinner yumyum! :D
actually it has been reeeeaaally long since i hang out with the thai people. 
u know i was with them when i first came here. 
come to think of it, time really flies. 
i hope we have more chances to hang out together before Jinny and Eing move to Tokyo next year..
Picture

Lastly, Baskin Robin before going home!
Picture
Picture
Halloween season Obake (ghost) ice-cream! haha


That's Anan on the left and Jinny on the right (:
Picture
Picture
the view outside this window is Uehonmachi. 
It's 5mins walk from school/dorm.
It's where we usually eat out when we are lazy to cook.
It's where the nearest 100yen shop is. (one of the most cheap/convenient and needed store around)
It's where we usually buy our presents for people.
It's where we do our grocery shopping.
It's where we live now. lol

I'm gonna miss this place.

Once you have accepted your flaws, nobody can use them against you.


Picture
fucking cute. looks even better when i wear it LOL!
why didn't i buy on the spot!! because there's a winter coat i will buy that's near 14,000yen and this one cost almost 9000yen and i would get 5% discount if i show my passport.
sold out the very next day. SIAN TTM.
more stocks might come in and i'll get it if there's fate.
Picture
anyway, yeah i went shopping with SADHNA on Saturday for autumn/winter clothes hehe :D
happy kid bought a knitted american flag long sleeve top, a b&w checkered poncho, a maroon thick leggings, a patterned grey jeans from H&M, and one winter boots for 500YEN!!
which is less than $10!!! first time find such cheap deal in Japan! xD
Picture
Okay, on the same day, this is a view from a high-class cafe in Hotel Monterey Grassmere on the 22nd storey. Osaka city.
The reason I was there... part-time job xD

I started giving "English tuition" to this Japanese man this month, actually more like just having conversation in English and i earn money :DD and i learn new things about Japanese (:
Thanks to Amanda, i applied for this job online and lucky enough to get a "student". 
Plus, this man is a neurologist!!which means rich. 
and yes he is, that's why he can bring me to such place. one chocolate mocha cost 1000yen already. but he's the one paying anyway.
I seriously think starbucks is good enough idk why he wants to talk in expensive places. rich people's choice of places maybe? 



pray for me to get the red poncho when i go back next weekend! xDD

You are fine the way you are. I'll admit that I'm sad you don't trust me, but that doesn't mean you should force yourself to change. I think everyone will still accept you.

Picture
Family outing at Kyoto, we went to the 金閣寺(Golden temple?) haha it's really cool! 
i heard there's a silver one i wanna go seeee!

Oh by the way, we came all the way to kyoto for this Japanese weaving program.
it's really interesting and fun (:
before that, a kimono walk show. so preeeeetty!
Picture
Picture
i know some of u don't get the difference between kimono and yukata. basically, they are made up of different materials, kimono is thicker and Japanese people wear them for special formal events. and yukata is like originally a bathrobe/pajama and now for festival. yeap. 
why do i have this feeling i dreamt that i blog about this. deja vu.

okays anyway, photos:
Picture
my host family dad and little bro and..
THIS IS MINE! :D
Picture
niceeee?


Dinner the the next day was at the apartment en en-san lives in now.
with many other Chinese people.
ikr, i don't like cheena generally and i am bias towards them but i can't deny that i felt home.
so comfortable speaking in my mother tongue, the way i spoke became kinda rude, not rude rude but like, there was no reservation and i talked to them like how i talk to my friends in Singapore.
it was so different from when i speak Japanese or English to the friends here.
Yoshi once said that when u change your language, your character changes. and i understand why.
because i realised the way i am now is different from who i was in my country. 
the way each language express a person's thoughts or feeling is different dakara sa xD
maybe not character but the way u speak and behave (which reflects the kind of person u are) which relates to your character.. right? haha.


sooooo, yeah the chinese people cooked, one of them is really professional eh.
the guy who fry this potato that looks the most simple out of all the dishes but i like it best :D
it's good.
Picture
Picture
behind me, looking so typical Japanese apartment! the ones in drama. haha
since i came here, (which took us 15mins or more by bicycle) it was reeeeally far omg how did they travel to school everyday by bicycle!! damn tiring. imagine SUMMER. can die.

coming back, i finally get to visit her room, it was smaller than my room, okay? SMALLER. can't believe how small it is and there's NO WARDROBE!? WTH. how cannnnn tsk tsk tsk.
i cannot live there. but i like the wooden flooring and carpeted walls. it feels more cosy~~~
maybe will go just ONE more time before we graduate. haha.

the next day was a public holiday so, a group of us went to USJ! 
again after so long even though we have the one year pass. too busyyyy!
Picture
one reason we went is for the halloween USJ, where it will become haunted at night.
and there will be zombies walking around scaring people.
well, it was quite good. thought i will be scared to death but it was OKAY for me haha.
but of course i grab hold of someone whenever i felt danger haha. 
and probably because it was REALLY crowded on a ph so there was so many people, there's nothing to be afraid of.
we didn't enter any haunted house because we didn't know we have to get tickets beforehand but we walked through a haunted theme place that is open air so it wasn't that scary.
it made me want to go for a scary one, for the first time, i find this kind of stuff fun. 
i never wanted to try any of these, maybe it would be more scary in Singapore? haha idk.
anyway i had fun, except the part we have to wait at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours for a ride -_-
and when it was coming to the end of the day my mood was kinda affected. 
but going through the walk helped change my mood. completely. lol

oh! this time, when we rode on the roller coaster, i put my hands up for the first time! HAHAHA. 
ikr, shut up lol. IT WAS SO FUNNN i should hav tried it earlier lol.
actually i wouldn't have done it this time if dani didn't hold my hand coz i wanted to back out last minute but i couldn't lol. WHOOOOO i wanna go on a roller coaster ride nowwww
Picture
me and yoshi, hehe.
is this snoopy hat cute? coz i bought it for 2,600 yen! xD
i really like it! will wear for winter (:

School open ceremony the next day for newcomers! yay we became senpais! xD 
but honestly, not interested in knowing them coz majority are... chinese of course. 
BORING! HAHA no offense. bye!
