Lessons and more lessons

So sian... lessons have to start, really didn't mind the way of life until lessons started. My japanese language class has 15 people, pretty good mix of nationalities too... Turkish, Australian, Americans, French, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, and of course a Singaporean. But haven't really talked a lot to the rest yet, usually I talk to the Taiwanese guy, and sit next to each other in class. He's pretty amazing, He's already graduated from medical school, ie he's a qualified doctor. But only starting on his job in September, he decides to pay his own fees and come to Keio to study. There is another more amazing Taiwanese, who now lives in Venice. Since he's a Taiwanese living in Europe, he speaks Chinese, English, German, some French and of course his Japanese is about the same level as mine. Talk about being Multilingual.

And we met Miss Akane Matsuo, the girl coming from Keio to study in NUS next semester. She majors in Soci, loves ballroom dancing (esp. Latin, so Edmund, if you are reading this, you should know what to do). Mark, Philip, Matsuo and I had dinner together in this Korean restaurant near school, and Mark paid the bill, which was about 12,000 yen = 120 US$, thus Mark is a bit in the red. Matsuo asked us out again, this time with some friends who also wanna come to Singapore for exchange in the future, so this time Mark... I will give you a treat.

Sakura is finally in the full bloom now, but so sadly, it is going to rain big time tomorrow, and I think I can't get the best view in many places if I go tomorrow, so might have to wait for Tuesday, after Tuesday, the best view would be gone. So I have to hurry. And give you guys the best photos.

I really love cooking now, though sometimes the vegetables usually turn out pretty bad when i try to stir fry them, so feel free to give me some recipes, my brain is not turning very fast when it comes to what I should cook.

And for the fans of anime and Japanese drama reading my blog.... Some highly recommended new shows. Anime: Speed Grapher... a bit gory and some sex references, but overall an exciting series to follow. Drama: Takuya in ENGINE, Takuya is a F1 car test driver... (he change a lot of jobs hor, from lawyer to pilot to pro ice hockey player to now F1 test driver) but from the net survey, the most anticipated drama is ANEGO starring Shinohara Ryoko, if you don't know who she is, go do a search on the net, quite matured (abt 30) and good acting skills. Of course got my idol, Ueto Aya's ATTACK No.1! where she plays a volleball player... So too bad you people can't see it live, but just go d/l if you all can find the sources...

Lessons, lessons.... SIAN....just like that, my weekend is gone....
