haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
well its has been an exciting week.
first, went to the gym on friday. wenhan's stamina is damn good. she jog for about 40 min on the treadmill. wow, i only did like 10 min and was dying. haha then i did weights, my thigh muscles still hurt now, but what the heck no pain no gain. well at least i did some exercise. want to lose weight so that i can look good when in japan. 18 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
went to waseda shibuya high school in singapore on friday. harhar it resulted in a frozen smile plastered on my face throughout the whole trip. but well, how does one make small talk with strangers, particularly those of a different breed? well i must say being in an environment filled with japanese emphasises my singaporeaness. despite learning japanese for 5 years, i find myself none the closer to understanding the japanese people. hell, i don't even understand myself. anyway, the whole programme consisted of us getting shown around the school, then going for a traditional japanese tea ceremony demonstration, then a mini party of sorts where we all stand around and smile and make small talk.
hmm we were shown around by 3 guides, hiro, ryu and what's his name and 3 other girls. only hiro and what's his name talked to us mostly haha. and u know what? THEY HAVE A BLOODY OBSERVATORY IN THEIR SCHOOL!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT??wow like u know, a hubble telescope looking thing. and the pictures show that u can actually see the moon's face with that state of art telescope haha. well nothing amazing about the moon, it actually looks like my face close up with all the craters, and well if u want a glimpse just take a look at me. haha.
haha and they have very cool basketballers. reminds me of slam dunk. and the girls' skirts are SHORT. if they bent down they would be at high risk of outraging their own modesties. and turning into unknowing flashers. their skirts are practically half my rj skirt's length. my nanyang skirt could make 3 of their skirts. perhaps they are keeping in line with conservation, trying to preserve resources haha, after all, japan's green technology is very much advanced. imagine me wearing such a short skirt. oh man, miss piggy comes to mind. after all, what i'll be revealing in such a short skirt would not be to-die-for legs but a pair of pig trotters, so i'll keep my skirts long thank u.
then during the tea ceremony, quite a sight. they have a very nice sadou room, with tatami mats and japanese slides and everything. haha and well they have to bow after serving everything, including the wagashi and the tea itself. (thanks meisiew for giving me your wagashi! haha i'm a glutton.) one girl bowed so low i felt so embarassed, after all, its not like i'm royalty or anything, don't deserve such reverent bowing. it seems, japanese really have the art of serving down to a pat.
then it was the exchange. hai.... awkward silence abounds. luckily i had xixun to depend on to do all the talking while i punctuated the conversations with hmms and ohs. and well timed smiles. ryu san is so shy. he sweat so much(in an aircon room!) he looked like he took a shower. haha poor guy, one japanese talking to 6 singaporeans. and his friends didn't come to save him. unfortunately, for both him and the other girls. he felt very intimidated i guess, well but we were very friendly, he was just very shy. then we took many photos with the japanese i felt like some sort of movie star. haha felicia is dying for photos of one particular cutie. hubba hubba. hai i should have brought a camera....
finally we went for dinner... why is it that when i go for dinner with them we always take a long time to find a eatery or whatever then end up eating fast food. I ABHOR FAST FOOD. IT IS THE CAUSE OF ALL MY BLOODY WEIGHT PROBLEMS. haha not really, just looking for something to blame other then myself. hmm jo talked about shit as usual. haha VERY interesting ways of torture i must say. sadistic but immensely funny like happy tree friends. hilarious. hai, but bitching is bad. but fun. hai.. what a conundrum. hito no waruguchi suru wa dame. but so fun~~~~! i am such a hypocrite. but aren't we all? such is the duality of the human race. as usual, dennis and i punctuated the conversation with hmms and oohs and short bursts of laughter. what else was i supposed to do? talk and steal her thunder? haha talking about shit is therapeautic for her i guess though i got a bit bored just talking about shit. but sometimes its weird that we like talking about the people we hate. we spend so much time hating them we might as well love them. weird thought. love thy neighbour?
well that was the end of quite an exciting day. haha finally i have something interesting to blog about.
