Two weeks into school and I'm already itching for the holidays to start.
Can't wait for the short festival break at the end of the month.
The Mr. and Ms. Sophia pageants and performance by Beni Arashiro!

Talked to my father this afternoon. Apparently he had worked in Japan before (not sure whether it was before or after I was born) at Suwa in Nagano. I wiki-ed it and it is supposed to be famous for its ryokans! I WANT TO GO TO NAGANO! RYOKANS. ONSENS?! SNOWBOARDING!!

Quite a funny experience after lunch too. We had already collected our alien registration cards then. Went to Belc supermarket and before she realized that the key was missing, Tina locked her bicycle. So when we went back, we walked with our bicycles while Joseph carried the locked one back to our dorm. Respect.

Writing the surrealist story.
Regret that I left it to the eleventh hour?
You bet.

I printed the stories yesterday morning at the computer lab and only started reading them on the train back to the dorm. It works, seriously, and time passes alot faster as well. Gonna do that more often from now on.

Honestly, part of me is still adjusting to the fact that the whole being is in Japan. It's not really regarding the issue of being homesick, or culture shock or even life shock. It's just that there are certain things here which strongly remind me of how it is back in Singapore and/or Melbourne. Like during meals, the PCDs would talk non-stop and stay at our table for hours. Or that certain random high-rise buildings would resemble the HDB buildings in Singapore. Things like that. And I certainly miss Melbourne Uni's campus alot.

I bought two dictionaries for about 6000yen at Kinokuniya, and I have no idea how to use them.
