いけばな

Ikebana also known as Japanese arts of of flower arrangement.
Wonder why I talk about this?
On friday, 2 hours of lesson was canceled.
We went to the JCKL's side.
Only those self-funded students are going and not the JPA's students.

Speaking of JPA, I can see that the goverment is unfair.
Why?
All.
Yes.
ALL JPA's students are malays and I cant see even 1 chinese or indian.
Their lesson started after 1 week our class started.
So they only had around 3 weeks of lessons.
Yet, some of them already been in the principal's office for not doing their homework or not coming to school.
When scholarship students are behaving like this, shouldnt they be disqualified?
Instead, goverment hold MOTIVATION seminars to ask the students to study.
Hilarious.
May be they really are clever than me but attitude like this cannot be tolerate.
You are wasting our money, indirectly, tax that we paid.
May be this is why Malaysia is getting worse and worse.

Okay.
Back to the Ikebana.
They invited Kobayashi sensei who is an expert of Ikebana all the way from Japan.
I cant understand what she's explaining because my Japanese is very bad.
And also the translator.
Nobody can understand what she's saying.



The one in the photo is translator which uses hand sign for handicapped people.
I'm not sure where they came from.
NOTE: If you wanna ask THAT question, she's not from our class and I dont know her.

Ikebana is very simple and the things you'll need is also simple.
A black box to put water in it.
I forgot what that round thingy called but it rhyme with Ginza.
And of course, Flowers.

Some english speaking japanese and the Vice President of the club explained to us and how to to an Ikebana.
There are few simple rules you have to follow:
Measure the ''Heaven'' with the black box width and cut it slightly longer from the mark.
''Earth'' is 3 quarter of ''Heaven''.
''Hell is 3 quarter of ''Earth''.
And the rest is up to your creativity.

Wonder why those 3 is not straight?

There's a reason for this.

From the center of the round thingy, you have to imagine a line which is degree 0.

''Heaven'' must be placed at degree 15.

''Earth'' at degree 45.

''Hell'' at degree 75.

Together those 3 form a triangle.
Actually you have to use the same kind and same colour of flowers to represents harmony.

3 of us exchanged flowers which one another and so we got a BETTER harmony. *Not correct*

I finished fast so I took some photo when my classmates are doing theirs.

Kinda fun and time is passing fast when you're having fun.

After they cleaned up everything *we just sit there*, they gave us water and nasi lemak.

There were also biscuits, cake, bun and so on.

All served by them.

We just sit there

Wakakakakaka.
After that we went back to the classroom and continue our 1st lesson of kanji.

May be is because I'm facing japanese character too much so when I write chinese character, it feels like I wrote it wrongly or the the character itself feels strange.

Today, me and my friend went to the island cafe to have lunch.

Since I didnt eat anything for breakfast, I order a big rice.

Have you seen big rice is this BIG?

Only RM1 was charged for the BIG rice.
At first I was not going to order any drink because I want to save money.

But then, I ordered a blackcurrant flavoured alcoholic drink to try it.

On the 1st sip, it taste like medicine. *I hate liquid type medicine*

It taste better later.

Although it has 5% alcohol but I cant taste it except that I feel a bit hot.

That's all for now.

Bye bye.

Tiring

For some reason, I cant stay focus in class since I've changed place.
And all the teachers started rushing very very fast and they keep teaching us new things.
Today got a lot of homework so I only got time to post when waiting to chill my body down and wait for my housemate to finish using the bathroom.

Today was another usual day at school.
Nothing special except that Tadeyama sensei suddenly post the Yeah! ^^v pose when she teach us the new chapter that talks about holidays.
Normally she's quite the serious person so is unusual for her to do that.

And the word da-bao is so so common that not only other races such as malays and indian know it but also japanese. xD

We were also told that there are a test on next friday on the 1st five chapters.
100% very good
95% good
90% okay
89% and below RETEST!
OMG! If you think you cant pass secondary school's exam, dont think of entering this school.

Yesterday we had a so-called drama which we memorized those conversation in the books and need to speak in front of the class the next day.
Yesterday was different because normally, Tadeyama Sensei will hold this so-called drama to test us but it was Konishi Sensei/Nishioh Sensei. * I dont know which because I still cannot differentiate this 2*
She even made a fake camera for us as one of the tool.
One part of the story is 2 people wanted to take a photo so that asked a stranger for help.
Kin Wai was the ''stranger'' but he threw away the camera after taking the photo instead of giving them back.
It was hilarious and unexpected but I can see that sensei is angry.
May be because she puts in effort in making that fake camera.
She also gave a cert to the Best Actor/Actress, Best Group.

Grab from my housemate's blog.

And so today's class finished and we went to pasar malam.

While we were eating ban min, the obasan sat next to us started talking to us and ask us about our studies and so on.

She said I look like a japanese. xD

Have you try eating ban min while holding umbrella?

Yes.

We did because it suddenly started raining but lucky I finished fast.

Li Ee *not sure how to spell her name* doenst have retractable umbrella so she went and bought it.

There's 1 smart guy selling umbrella there because he knew tonight will rain and he wont discount for us.

But the rain only last for a while so I think those who have just bought it sure will think like this:

"Deng! Ngam ngam mai jor yau mou lok sui! Sai jor"

Ok. Time for me to take a shower and do my homework.

See you next time.

P.S.

As a reminder, I'm coming back end of this month!

P.P.S.

Is JUNE next month......

A tiring day

Today woke up quite early.
I think was around 9 something.
Tried out the Blackshot game and it was nice.
Around 11 something, me and my housemate went Kl central to buy ticket for the coming holidays.

After that, we went Sungei Wang's Kim Gary and had lunch there.

We walk around and was finding things that I wanted to buy.

But I cant find any.

The thing I know is that I'm the capsule station!

And that damn token machine is out of service again
Feeling disappointed, we continue to walk around and found capsule station again!

This time is in a shop so I can get the token.

This are my Prize of Victory!

Then we went to lowyat to find the razer mouse.

After searching for a hours, we finally found it!

The mouse cost RM169 and I got no enough cash.

I called mum to asked her about buying this mouse and she gave me permission!

Yeah.

Went to the nearby ATM machine and took out the cash.

Wonder why this mouse it expensive?

Is because it got 7 buttons

The normal left click, right click and scroll click.

And there's 2 extra button at the left hand side and 2 button at the right hand side of the button.

You can set what those button to replace a keyboard button.

Besides, it has a chip inside it so that you no need to reset everything whenever you use the mouse on a different pc.

While on the way back, the bus was so crowded and I'm so tired.

I can hardly move because even if I move a bit, I touch someone....

Finally got back home and now,

I want to shower!!!!

Cannot tahan d.

Bye

Determination, Motivation

Its been a while since i last updated my blog.
Well, today is the end of the 3rd week of the 18months study.
Minus the 1st day for orientation and 1st of May last friday, I've studied japanese for 13days.
13days is not much but I've learned a lot.

During today's 2hours and 15mins break, I went lunch with suika-san, wei-san kin meng-san and kin wai-san.
On the way to mid valley, they talked about University in Japan and how much you need to get in your University Entrance Exam and EJU in order to enter the national universities.
In order to get into national universities, you need above average score.
Because it is cheaper than private universities and when I mean cheaper, I mean A LOT CHEAPER than national universties.

Everyone knows that I'm a lazy bum that hate studies a lot and always try to avoid it and skipped schools during form 4 and form 5.
So I was thinking can I be one of those that can make it into national universities and get the subject that I want to study?
I didnt talk when they are chatting about this topic and suika-san asked why am I so quiet.
Hearing from them about the condition to enter national universities really worry me a lot.

Sometimes when I'm real boring during the class or when the japanese is getting tough, it makes me wonder that did I choose the right choice?
Or is it a bad choice for me to study japanese?

1 of my friend quit the japanese language course.
Is not because that it is too tough that he gave up but is because he's having financial problem and his parents do not support him to study.
He paid the 1st month by himself.
We have to pay around RM2300 for the 1st month, RM 1600 for the second month and RM1000 for the rest of the months.

Knowing this, it really sadden me because how come there are parents that dont support their children to study?
C'mon, arent he better compare to those bastard that bring empty bag to school to goyang their buttock or create havoc in school?
You should be very happy that your child want to study without anyone forcing him.

To those who can enter college without financial problem, appreciate of what you have.
Dont always complain just because you dont have an air-condition room at your dorm or rented room, etc.
And dont choose something that doenst suit you just because your friends are choosing it or no one is accompanying you in the course that you wanted.
1 more thing, I'm not trying to point out anyone but dont study because of your parents' dream, study because of your dream.
Although my principal only said this once but I always remember it
''I hope I didnt see you here because of your parents' dream but your dream to further study in Japan.''

Everyday I have problem waking up early in the morning.
1st alarm at 7am and the 2nd alarm at 7.15am.
I always wanted to skip class but if I skip even ONE class, I'll miss A LOT of things.
To motivate myself so that I'll wake up every morning, I tell myself that I'm going Japan today.
Kinda weird thing to motivate one but it works, at least for me.

Those japanese words and grammars are tough.
They are hard to pronouce and hard to remember because there are too many different names just for the name of the days in a month.

1st day to 10th days of the months have their own name.
20th have its own name too.
14th and 24th got a speacial name too.

Although it is very hard, I'll tell myself that I'm going to Japan to fulfil my dreams.
And I know there are many laughing at me since I choose to study japanese.
Yeah, I know that.
Sorry to disappoint you but the more you look down or laugh at me, the higher possibility that I will succeed.
Like those of you who looked down on me last time.
I did succeed and is better than you guys.

Oh well, I've talked too much.
さようなら


To those who gonna start their study soon, good luck.
To my mummy, Happy Mothers' Day!

P.S.If I've offended anyone in anyway by this post, I'm sorry
