post exam...pre camp

this afternoon i'll b leaving for the english summer camp so i tot i'd juz post a few random thoughts here despite the fact dat probably no one comes here anymore judging frm the number of comments on the last post >(

anyway, exams' ended last wednesday n we did sum crazy things since then. 1stly i've been actively expanding the number of dota players around here after discovering dat we can play dota on the library computers, thus living up to my title of The Corruptor ;P

also, dat nite, we went on an expedition to.......(drum rolls).....Tama Reien! ok...i better explain a little here....'reien' means cemetery in japanese, n this tama reien, which is juz 15 minutes' biking distance away, is one of the biggest in japan. or so i've heard. me n yst were taking a 'loooong walk' back to the dorm the week b4 dat n ended up on the far side of it n it took us mebbe an hr to circumnavigate it. since we failed to go thru it that time due to yst chickening out, we gathered more ppl n hence this expedition last wednesday...n it was spooky alright....but it was damn cool :P in fact we're planning another trip to go ALL the way thru the cemetery next time...

btw, about the long walk thing, yst n me took a train to sum place duno how many km away to take sum pictures of sum famous park...n then walked for 3.5 hrs all the way back...cuz we were looking for a place to eat at first n there wasnt any, n after we found one n ate, we walked most of the way back while looking for a train station to take us home. funny eh.

hmm...wat else...

last thursday me n yst went to shinjuku n bought a porn dvd to giv to a fren as a bday present. man, it was expensive. but the joke was worth it lah ;P n in shinjuku we went to an indian restaurant n ate stuff dat was ALMOST like penang mamak...of course, for about 5 times the price...

n last nite there was this hanabi (fireworks) display....it was cool but the pics i took din turn out too well cuz my camera was sucky...hv 2 get a better one soon....anyway, refer to yst's blog for the pics....

well, gotta prepare for the camp liao, signing off...

here they come!

tml...exams begin! spring term-end exams, to be exact.

so wats a guy to do?

play SOLDAT, for one thing!



to save me from the boredom of exams (due to the fact that everyone's holed up in their rooms studying kanji, which WE learned 10 years ago ;P which resulting in there being no one to go shopping with), ive been playing this game for the last week or so. pretty simple 2D game, but fun n addictive! or mebbe its juz desperation due to being unable 2 play dota, i duno....but anyway check it out guys!

btw, yup, lately ive been going shopping a lot. no need for those looks of horror. i go becuz theres nothing else to do around here n i need a constant supply of fresh food for the kitchen. saving up for....stuff, u see...so i cook every day instead of eating out.....it makes a huge difference in ur finances here in japan....

well anyway, tml's exam, as i was saying. but the weather's so damn hot its near impossible to study, n anyway i THINK im pretty safe liao...compared to back in penang, theres a lot less study pressure here, at least for the time being....

anyway, hv 2 play a little soldat to loosen up! mata ne!

helllooo

it appears that either no one's been visiting my blog lately, or ppl r growing a litle stingy wif comments. either way, as rentai did before, i demand comments. minimum of 10 on my pictures post before i post anything else.

and ppl in penang shud play dawn of war. new expansion coming out...necrons n tau! tho i wan tyranids...

juz a few random updates cuz im feeling rather shitty at the moment due to the cloudy weather outside.

- (1 month ago) bought a pair of earphones....model is N.U.D.E. ex. cool eh? they're the stick-in-the-ear-canal earbud type.
- (1.5 months ago) can now cycle without using my hands! tho turning is still a problem. n it contributed to a minor crash about a month back, which cost me 3500 yen in repairs. f_cking bike...
- got a summer 'job'! as a camp counsellor or sumting liddat...for an english-speaking camp for junior high sch students. how old is junior high anyway? :P

ok im out of ideas. bye.
