Herculean Effort

Have been intending to write but somehow, every time I sit down in front of the computer, the desire to write just vanishes.. wahhaha... that's why it's taking me a herculean effort to update this blog today.

Yesterday was the last day of my Japanese language course. I can't believe it... One month just slipped by and it's so fast. Twinking of an eye really and everyday, I will wake up early, have breakfast, go study at MacDonalds, n start school at 9.30am... It's a very structured lifestyle and when lessons end at 2pm, I go for lunch, then walk and window-shop for a while, take a break before heading for KICC to mug again.

Being at Sannomiya is a good thing. When my attention span wanders, i will be able to explore new places. It's a very bustling place. Lotsa shopping and nice things to see. :) Yesterday, I went to the Kobe Municipal library and borrowed a book - "The Showa Anthology". It's a collection of short stories of modern classic literature by various acclaimed Japanese authors and well, I have been reading some Japanese authors recently. These short stories make for interesting reading when I am taking a break or during meal times. :)

Anyway, you know what happened at school yesterday? I won for myself 2 tickets to Awajishima for being present for lessons everyday and for punctuality. Wahahhaha. That came as a nice surprise! However, I dunno if i have the time to go there considering that I really don't have much time left here.


And tomorrow, I will be going to Kanazawa to visit Rachel at her little country cottage. Was told that Kanazawa is famous for fresh fish. Yippeee!!! I love to eat fish... really can't understand why. :) And this reminds me too of the sashimi dinner Fujiike sensei treated me to. Was invited to his house last weekend for dinner n after that, we played tennis. :)


And while taking a break, I saw this really funny signboard. LEELAX peeps!
