recently..

It has been 3 weeks since the school reopen. everything was still like last year.
I was worried and afraid at the beginning of the year as days back in last year was terrifying. Phobia with the new days coming to me.

however, it was still okay so far. two juniors entered my course.one from malaysia and one from indonesia. both are cute, cheerful and naughty girls. Days with them were happy and I feel like myself sticking to them more then they need me.=P
Lydia has gone,Subasni has left..sometimes, emptiness occupies me although two cute juniors are with me. It is still different with before.

So far, I have been in very good mood when I am with other people, especially my juniors and classmates,I found that smile can actually bring more luck for ourselves. When you smile, people smile.when you say hello, people say hi.I should have realized this one year ago, XD

last week was a brain racking day. Had to decide on which internship to go.
and with helpssssss from seniors, I decided! hehe..
still doubting if I can do it, but I decided to challenge myself one more time. you may say it doesnt matter much, but for me, it is another step leading me to my target of being better-me. hehehe


And about my japanese recipe, ohohoho. i know.. i missed two weeks cooking it. hehe..
I didnt forget! just that I am lazy to go shopping. and shopping can actually make me spend more..
wait for my next entry!!

夜桜

It was two days ago when I was invited by a lecturer of mine to go for Sakura-Night-Seeing.
Was surprised and happy that I got invited. Had been lookin forward for today.

And so, here we go after waiting 30 minutes for him to finish hi stuff in laboratory.
He is fame with his humor. Every sentence from his mouth is a joke.
from 6.30pm to 9pm. They chit-chatted,and I listened. I paid full attention to their conversation.I could understand some.
and it got tiring when it continued for hours.

Three of them talked and laughed. I could only listen but couldnt understand.
so upset and embarrassing to face a group of people joking by themselves while you dont understand most of the content. fake smile and blank stare was the only things I could do. haiz.
I care how people think of myself, i think most of us do. I have been staying and interacting woth Japanese for one year, and yet I couldnt speak fluent Japanese and understand 100%.
Are you having the same difficulty as mine too. Please say yes, at least it comforts me a little.

argh.. i am so depressed now.
And in situation like this, I need him the most.I could hear his word saying 'one needs to sacrifice to get what he or she wants'

sacrifice huh.
i hate i hate i hate thiss!!!!!!!!!

Mastering Japanese food.first two recipes^^

I came out with this idea on mastering the japanese food about a month ago after trying out sewing, origami and book reading. hohoho.
Firstly, you know for Chinese, 'food' is everything.It becomes a topic whenever you go to a new place,i believe =)
Friends and family asked me if I can cook any Japanese food, and of course my answer was a NO. haha.. so I bought a recipe book for beginner, and decided to cook one or two dishes every weekend. I have two years more, two books in two years is possible I guess.

Secondly, My boyfriend cooks better than me even though he had never cooked before. In fact I prepared my family's 3 meals since I was a standard 6 girl.My cooking isn't that bad after all,just that they are 'unlookable'


So these are the two dishes tried out last Sunday.taddaa~~
this is from my own hands..^^ pimento ketchup pork slices.

and this is what it should look like... not bad huh? =)


but actually for the ketchup sauce, I should add some chili sauce, I didnt have=( used chili paste intead.hoho


another one!!!! radish cooked in soy sauce


it looks like this in the recipe


this one was a failure actually. theradish shoudln't be in this size nor shape. It should be a round one with crossing cut at the centre, but i cut it of crossly into four parts. japanese understanding failure was the reason! ahah
and I put too much ofstarch powder which made the soup too sticky. but the taste wasnt bad, because I used tsuyu, japanese'soup made from fish, which makes eveything tastes good.XD


anyway, it was a good start for me XD. gambare Tang Chye Sin =))

*...*

it has been just one month I didn't update my blog. But a lot of things happened in this short time,especially the predicted but unbelievable tragedy that happened to the Land of the Rising Sun.
A 8.9l gratitude earthquake had hit Japan,causing tsunami which swept away hundred thousand people's lives and damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Chaos happened in the neighboring countries due to the worrying towards the possible leaking of radiation.

Since then, most of the customers who entered my dad's shop asked me the same questionsssss again!!
'Jepun tsunami lo, u mau balik Jepun lagi ar?' or
'tempat u belajak kat mane? tak kena tsunamii ar?' or
'tak yah balik la, radiation lo, balik buat apa?'
these were the most frequent asked questions. there are more questions that I cant tell all.

people listen, read and tell about the tragedy. mom and dad and relatives started to worry about my returning to japan. There was even a suggestion from a friend to stop studying in Japan but start all over again in local Universities or colleges. and my respone to this suggestion was---Walao, 太夸张了啦!! sorry for using different languages but I want to express it in a more accurate way. forgive me=)
Parents were worried and they wanted me to postpone my flight to Japan. I thought that postponing one week wouldnt change anything if the radiation was really there. I would got affected by the radiation too. but to comfort my worried papa and mama, I decided to postpone.
And thus I reached Japan on 4th April instead of 31st March.

We said goodbye on 3rd April evening. It was really really hard to say goodbye. I didnt feel reluctant, not until I stood beside my mom,wanted to give a hug and say goodbye.
but... but.. hehe.. tears dropped before I realized. Mom refused to hug hug and she cried too. what an embarrassing phenomenon!! lucky that there wasnt any customer in shop.hehehe
Papa seeing me off until I got into car. His eyes was red, and it was my first time seeing this.
couldnt control, tears dropped rapidly,non stop. aduhai...


my brothers are the cutest persons in the world!!! i dont know how to describe the day they said goodbye to me. It was just, sweet....<3
I miss them already.
