the empire strikes back...

maybe some of you didnt even realise that it was `not there` just a few days ago... well, glad to be back... redid the whole thing, same template as before though... still working on my side bars and links... in no time, it`ll be as good as before, mabe even better! hahah, self praise! ;p

okay, some catching up do be done! hmm... went to this elementary school on wenesday. taught the kids a lil bahasa, just some simple greetings lah but it`s too much for them... they prefer madarin to south-east asian languages like malay, indonesian and thai... arghh... played different versions of scissors-paper-stone with the kids! we`ve got the jap version `gu-choki-pa` the `jian dao, shi tou, bu`... i cant remember the thai version eh! oh ya, i wore my baju kurung and they were so amazed that when i tell them that the malays wear it everyday! `dont they feel hot?` one asked... hmm, what do you think? i was so cold that day, you know bout the baju kurung`s fabric right? chilly...

went and taught english that night! it was my turn lah! that night, 6 of them turned up. 6 japanese men! they were all very shy lah... 23-44 years old! we discussed the Niigata Prefecture`s earthquakes... aftershocks... rescue and evacuation unit... the victims... pretty interesting! went on with typhoons...

ran out of topic of discussion at the end of the first hour... so i asked them to tell me bout their birthplace, the place where they grew up... in return, i introduced them to our beloved country, malaysia! i learnt bout gifu prefecture, mie prefecture... some interesting places to visit and their specialities... food of course... well, i thought it went well that night! and i get paid 6oooyen to talk to them! tired but fun! nagashima-san sent me to motoyama subway station, and we chatted in the car... bout his 18year old son, his 14year old daughter... i get to practice my broken jap too! not bad huh?

usually tired when i get home at night! really exhausted! after a whole day of classes and other assignments... would just wanna get everything done and head straight for the bed... these past 2days, when i thought that my blog will be disappeared forvever, did some real thinking on my own... i know this sounds weird... a lesson for me to learn, to know what and when to let go... and to be greatful and thankful for all the things i have... i know it`s just a blog, but argh... you wont understand...

it is like my invisible companion... whom i can confide in, talk to... my whole life, okay, maybe just this 2months in japan lah... my diary, journal... in a nutshell, thank god i got it back!
