10 Days In Japan

Whoa...it's actually been 10 days since I arrived in Japan~ It has been ONE HELL OF A 10 DAYS here...

Culture shock, touring Tokyo with my family, meeting new people, making new friends, doing new things, eating new food, encountering new stuff, experiencing new experiences...etc...

I have been so busy with all this, above of administration and immigration procedures, i think i've only managed to START to settle down only today. Real school will probably start the day after tomorrow.

It's hard to put in words what i'm experiencing. It's all so overwhelming and there are so many things I want to talk about but it all comes as a gigantic wave and renders me speechless.

Honestly...apart from squeezing with people on the morning rush hour train, everything else seems perfect here. In fact, too perfect. People abide by laws and follow strictly to their very own unwritten rules...

I am looking forward to starting school, and meeting the people i've promised to meet when i come to Japan. It will be busy...for the time being.

向梦想起飞！

4月1日愚人节！！今年的4月1日不一样了。不开玩笑，而是很认真地，踏上我人生中的一个新旅程。
我将会朝向我的目标迈进。虽然有百般的不舍，不过，为了无限光芒的前途，为了实现自己多年以来的梦想，我会带着坚忍不拔的精神勇往直前！

彤彤，向梦想起飞咯！！

My dream takes flight...

1st April 2009, this will be the day I embark on my new journey to a new life (literally), and towards a goal that is so far but seemingly reachable...

Farewell, yesterday. Welcome, tomorrow~

I have gotten this scholarship with purpose, and I will continue to move on forward with purpose. Some people think that my dream is to "study music in Japan"...but... that's not exactly right, lol.

My dream, is reachable by "studying music in Japan". I have not fulfilled my dream, yet. My wish has not come true, yet. However, I am slowly and steadily building a path towards my target...it will be achievable, by studying what i want in Japan. I hope.

Tomorrow night, my flight to Tokyo.
Tomorrow night, my dream takes flight.

I got 3000 ang pow money!!!

3000yen...sounds like a lot? Go check the exchange rate if you want. woo~!
HAHA! Ok, it's the thought that counts...went to Jack's Place (West Coast Recreation Centre) for dinner with Rena, Jin Ling and Marie yesterday and ate so much till I was unpleasantly bloated.




Rena and Co. gave me a 3000-yen worth of ang pow money (in tha red envelope). Rena also wrote me a nice letter on Japanese calligraphy paper, and folded it nicely into card size, makes it easy for me to bring it over to Japan with me. lol.



And one disgusting thing!! MARIE ZHENG GAVE ME MR HAPPY!!! @_@ OK! This Mr Happy was forced on Rena's journey to New Zealand, and god knows what Marie did to Mr Happy before it even went to New Zealand... eeeeew! Ok. This Mr Happy would have travelled to New Zealand and Japan in time to come. But, heyz, i'm not returning Mr Happy to you any time soon, Marie! It'll have to bear rain or shine with me in Japan for at least 3 years. Accompanying Mr Happy is also a letter written by Marie (on yellow paper). Since the letter also fits into the "ang pow", i guess i'll just bring it along with me to Japan.

Thanks girls!! Love ya all! And will miss ya all! xxoxoxoxoxx

(I'm looking at the pile of soft toys i'll be bringing over to Japan with me......)

17kg and increasing...

I finally got to start packing my luggage seriously yesterday...
the initial weight is 17kg.

I haven't put in my books.
I haven't put in Cadbury Moo Moo.
I haven't put in the bags i need to bring over.
I haven't put in my shoes.

Whoa...Even if i don't surpass the baggage weight limit, how am i supposed to be able to carry that thing??

I also intend to carry a bag on my back. That bag will consist of my game consoles, my laptop, portable hard disks, important documents, my valuables and jacket.

hmmm......i need to put some stuff in my dad's or uncle's luggage, so as to distribute the weight.
