today was a very refreshing day for me.

i went to meet my work colleagues/friends from work at the airport. I also passed along one of my bags... the problem with the bag was that it was a bit large and doesn't have wheels. So i had to walk a lot between subway stations and had to carry that so-so heavy bag awkwardly, i was sweating like hell... and my t-shirt was completely soaked. lol

i finally reached the airport, met them, then we all put our bags in lockers and we went to a nearby Outlet Mall with lots of shops and restaurants... it was seriously a lot of fun to meet one of my friends from Kuwait.

it was good to go meet them there and not in the city, because it serves a dry run for when i have to come back... now i know exactly how long it takes.

according to them, i lost a lot a lot of weight, so i'm going to start adding ice cream back on my menu :D hehehe

came back home, watched the Japan vs Holland game, sorry Japan :( and studied.


This is the train i took to the airport to meet my friends... the same one i'll take when its time for me to leave :/

lunch :) oishii yo!

Since the last exam was last Wednesday, i feel that school is over, even though we've got 3 days left... 3 days... gosh... it really went buy quickly... i actually still get moments while i'm walking in the street or sitting in class, where i remind myself, I'M LIVING IN JAPAN! It is really surreal... i wouldn't have thought in a million years this would happen... if you would have asked me 10 years ago, or 5 years ago, would i be in Japan living for 3 months, i would have said i don't think so... who knows where life will take me in the next 5 years...

today was raining cats and dogs as well.

i'm excited about the weekend... tomorrow, a dear friend of mine from Kuwait will be in Osaka and i'll get to see him again. Very excited about it. Sunday, my uncle and aunt in law are in Osaka as well and i'll see them either sunday or monday... very exciting weekend inshallah.

Today's football was ok, i played well, but i seriously hate so many people there... there are those people who don't know what the hell football is, they are good athletes and they can run, but they can't think if their lives depended on it... and there are those who are very talented but very lazy, i think they don't care if they win or lose, they just want to practice with the ball... which i hate :(

Have you been watching the world cup? Spain lost, France Lost, Germany lost... its surprising, that is what this world cup is.

in the spirit of football





whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaish? doushiteeeeeeeee??? lol

i went to school early today to ask about the certificate and how they calculate grades... the good news is that for short term students like myself, they only give me the final 4 hours exam's results as a grade... which i did quiet well in... so lets wait and see :)

i then bought next class's text book so i can study it in Kuwait.

went for a jog... i ran 7 k's till i reached the supermarket then i walked back... total 11 k.

poor South Korea... but they played well...

Whats new this time is the three little packs on the bottom right... they are energy drinks, after i tried one it turns out that they are more like jelly than drinks...


poor cat lol

16th June 2010

I really bombed the last kanji test.. terrible terrible :(

and whats worse... is that yesterday my allergies came back full-on. So i was sneezing and had a runny nose throughout the class, which was only tests. by the way it reached 5 pm and the kanji test was handed to us... i was beat... my brain was on off-mode. i think i screwed up this last kanji test as well.

:(

15th June 2010

rain, more rain, a bit more rain...

today i couldn't sleep well because the A/C was off. The guy came and fixed it at around 11... so thats cool (literally) ;)

nothing much other than studying today...

14th of June 2010

Omedetou Gozaimashita for our Japanese friends for winning against the African Lions, the Cameroons.

regarding yesterday's colors... i actually had made my choice and bought one of them yesterday before posting about it on the blog. But i will not tell you which color i bought... you just have to wait and see. ;)

wednesday we have a big exam, its a 4 hour exam and it basically tests the overall level of our Japanese from the beginning of the course and even has more than what we studied.

i have been studying a lot... seriously, studying is very strange.. or let me rephrase.. the way the brain computes the information is strange... at times the information i study complicates things and i get even more confused and anxious and worried... and other times actually the information clicks into place and i feel better and more enlightened.

and lastly...

as if i need more PROBLEMS in my room... first it was the sink, and now this...




on another note, i was walking in Shinsaibashi... and the last thing i was expecting to hear was this...

13th June 2010

first, i've added a bit more to yesterday's post and also some pictures.

Today was very rainy, but i was, again, beautiful, fresh, rain...


i came to buy the blue one... but then i got hesitant... help me out

if you think the Black is the best, please raise your RIGHT HAND now... ok.. and if you think the Blue one is the best, raise your LEFT HAND now... if you think the Green one is the best, then raise BOTH HANDS. thank you for your support.

after shopping i went to the cinemas and saw Prince of Persia... it wasn't half bad.. but they ruined the original story and the spirit of the game to be frank.

and i finally had my favorite pasta, GOEMON Pasta :D oishikattandesu yo!

i started opening my bags and arranging my stuff... i'm officially in "going back" mode.

yesterday i was so worried about the next kanji exam and the 2 chapters that i had to learn. (30 more characters) and all day i was worried and gloomy... but after last night and all day today, i was so relieved because last night i studied a lot and i got those two chapters covered. :D

in Japan, father's day is June 20th... so every shop i enter they remind me to "THANK YOU DAD" and "LOVE YOU PAPA"

and i do :) but i still don't know what to get my parents...
