It was Christmas just a few days ago... and now New Year's Eve is about to loom up... Has everyone succeeded in achieving their resolutions yet, or shall that be brought forward? I think I gave up on doing resolutions for some time now. Just take each day as it comes, as long as there is a clear goal at the end ^_^ (which for me, after 365days, I'll be lucky that I actually remember it....)
Moving on! It's been cold here!! Gone is the sun that was here I arrived. Ever since Christmas kicked in, the weather has been gray, gray, gray.. It finally rained, and will continue doing so for another 5 days?!?!?!??! *sigh*
Oh well, that aside, it is the end of the year, so I wish you all a Happy 2007, and let's party when I get back!

Christmas in Paris
Greetings from Paris!!!
Christmas is a magical time. The decorations on the streets, the crazy shoppers doing their last minuite Christmas shopping, all the feeling of love in the air as Christmas songs blares through loud speakers to warm the pedestrians up. Excellent!
I celebrated Christmas together with my birthday, so typical ^_^! Mo and I went to a really nice French restaurant called Kong (a little bit Jap fusioned, food and decor wise). I had foie gras, it was really good, for a first time trying something! Didn't cut any cake, but since I brought back "il panettone"(the Italian Christmas cake from Italy) when I visited Marc on a whirlwind trip just before Christmas, so we probably will try it tonight.
I've been having a nice holiday so far, apart from the cold weather. It hasn't been sunny since the last few days so there's a kind of depressing feel in the air. That's the problem with places up north. Italy is ok, lots of sun during the day!! But I am enjoying myself, between studying and rechecking out the places that I know.
Going to spend the next few days doing studying, and probably hang out with a group of people for new year's. Will also be trying to meet up with the French friends that I made while I was in Japan. The wonders of globalisation! lolz...
Oh well, Christmas shoutouts to all! Have a great one wherever you are.

City of Lights
After clocking 15hrs of flight time, finally I arrived in one piece in Paris. What a long day it was! Late departure from Narita, late arrival plus late departure in Moscow! Of course we arrived late in Paris, I realised that Aeroflot tends to keep its flight hours and not the flight arrival/departure times. hmm... Service and food wise was ok, although I ended up watching Harry Potter:Globet of Fire in Russian as there was neither English or Japanese!!! Unfortunately, I can still only say yes and no, after 3hrs of it!! *sigh*
Paris is not as cold as I expected. Very similar to Tokyo, although it has been shining since I've arrived (hehe) and it is much more foggy at night. At this rate I won't really need heavy duty winter stuff, which is good for me, meaning that I don't have to go shopping and max my card... *lucky*
Alrights, this sounds weird but I've got to get down to do some studying now so that I can have some fun during the weekend! YES, there's always homework, regardless when and where... sigh...

2 more days ~~ 2 more days ~~
lolz...
ok, the next two days are going to be so so crazy! Usual Monday at the Centre, and then, a quick stop at uni to get some work done before my part-time job in the evening. I really do wish that my ticket was on Thursday instead, I really could do with the extra day to get my work done... Why is it that winter vacation is always packed with homework? This is one Christmas gift that I do not want!!!!!!!
I had a good weekend, although I was extremely tired due to a hectic week, waking up at 7am 3 days in a row and working until 10pm everyday... It's amazing that I am still in one piece! Although mentally I've been hit by the depression bug since Sat, no idea why.
Ohh, I had a Christmas/Birthday party on Friday night! Was really worried that no one was going to show up (it almost ended up being a nice candlelit romantic dinner with myself, trust me!), but people started trickling in after 8pm so it was all good. I made my usual nasi lemak (nothing like M'sian food!!) and my famous cheesecake ^_^. Friends brought salad, snacks and drinks. We had a lot of rum in us, cause yours truly spiked both the cheesecake and the fruit punch (in public)! The Christmas and jazz music was a great help to the atmosphere. It was loads fun!! For those who couldn't make it, maybe next year? Hey, we could do a New Year's Party *hint hint*

If you are interested, check it out at http://www.accu.or.jp/en/culture/cul02.shtml (English link), where you can also find previous winning works online. So check it out when you have the time!

Forgetfulness
There are many kinds of forgetfulness in this world. Most of them is personal, so whatever we forget, it ends up affecting ourselves. However, there is another kind, the one that imposes trouble on others without creating any for the culprit.
Why am I suddenly talking about this at 2am in the morning? Because I am pissed at my housemate who for the 100th time has forgetten to turn off the darn lights that, because of my glass room doors, jolly well reflect into my room! It is beyond funny when I end being woken up by lights flooding my room, only to find out that it is her bloody fault that I don't get a straight 8hr sleep. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For this time, she left the lights on and went to bed without any care, and wonderfully waking me up. Maybe I should make her pay the electricity bill, since I tend to come home to lights left on in the toilet, her bedroom etc. GRRRRRRR... I feel like yelling....... can't wait to get out of all this stupid stress that isn't even because of me!!

December
YES! IT is finally December... 13 days before I go to Paris, 22 days to winter break, 25 days to Christmas, 26days to AHEM day... lolz... 31days to the end of 2006.
What a year, 11 months in flash. I had so much fun, and am still having fun. Winter sem has been tough so far, and I had to do all my presentations and reports before I leave. But it was worth it, it meant less work during winter vacation, although the lecturers must have caught wind of my thoughts, for two new reports have popped up... *sigh* So I guess I'll be spending my days in Paris writing reports, just like summer!! *sob*
By the way, December also marks the beginning of SALES, SOLDES... for Autumn stuff, and some winter (probably last year's batch) stuff. Who cares... I can't wait to go shopping, can't believe I held myself back so long (hooray for self-control!!). Uniqlo (the Gap of Japan) is having a special one week sale, got myself a nice down jacket ^_^ ah.... oh... Shiseido is gonna give me a birthday present, yeah!! Don't you just love the membership stuff they have over here, all the points and rewards. Life is good!~!~!~!
Happy J

Firing students
Yes, you've read it right!
The phrase came from my dad, actually. He was concerned that I didn't enjoy teaching one of my students, so one day, he suddenly asked me "Have you fired your student yet?" Funny, isn't it? ^_^
I am glad to say that I am no longer teaching Baito-kun(a nickname my friends and I came up for him. "Baito" means "part time" in Jap, and "Kun" is just a way of addressing a guy, like "san" for example), and I can say that there's no love loss in this case. No big loss when it comes to money too, he was such a "kecchi" (miser) person and he dared think that just because he was paying, he could order me around like I'm his personal slave or something. Typical Jap guy (or the steoreotype ones, perhaps I should say), who doesn't know how to treat the opposite sex well. No wonder gender studies in Japan is becoming more and more popular.
Anyways, moral of the story is that one has a right to even fire students, if said student(s) is(are) not interested in learning. hohoho

rainy days and mondays always make me cry~~~
Hands up those who know the Carpenters. Ah, the days of childhood. Somehow, this song got stuck in my head today, and how fitting it is to reality! It's a Monday, and it was raining in the morning, a token from yesterday's shower. On top of it, been feeling kinda depressed lately, due to various reasons (so far I've gotten different possible reasons from other people ^_^) I say it's the weather, and that I'm overworked but underpaid, and that I want a change of air, sort out my life, and decide what to do for my future. So yeah, lots of heavy stuff going around, and the people who are supposed to be there are never there. Me is disappointed, to the max. Dunno if I should laugh, shrugh it off, cry, be upset, or be angry. I guess any adjectives work depending on my mood of the day. Any votes to cast?
Another 13mins and I will get off work. Gotta rush back to school to do a bit of Noh and then, have an English class with my horrible student. I just wanna go home and sleep, but still got homework waiting for me. Just found out that I used the wrong data for my research class, now I've gotta redo everything by tomorrow noon for I'm up for a mid-term presentation that very day!! grr...
irritated me

1st rejection
3rd year students have it hard over here. We spend two sem getting all the credits we need so that one can devote oneself to writing the graduation paper during the 4th year. However, one is also required to spend the 3rd year either job-hunting, or preparing for grad school.
I am still so uncertain whether I want to work or continue studying. I'm already behind the official job hunting schedule, cos over here, they hire by bulk a year in advance, for everyone enters the company in April only on the year we graduate. Weird system I know. Anyways, I am so so lost that I even have trouble with internship applications. Just got my 1st rejection today *sob sob*
This is going to be a tough winter...

carrefour rocks!
Yes, Carrefour, the French supermart absolutely rocks ^_^ Going to Carrefour for us deprived people over here is like going for an outing, rain or shine...lolz ... Finally last Sat, we went to Carrefour, and the French ppl who came along declared us to be in France. *laughs* I guess it's like the Amerians with Cosco (I have seen it too, believe me!). I wonder what would make M'sians like that, perhaps mamak stores? LOL
Back to the subject of Saturday. Well, we got dinner there(two whole chickens!), red wine, cider, and my French friend Joan got his ingredients for a French dessert! He made us a Bordeaux speciality, something similar to the tarte tartin. It tasted great, but he forgot the whipped cream!!!!
So we had loads of fun, cooking, eating, and we even ended the evening with poker, ha! Was my first time, it was loads fun. Next weekend I want to go for karaoke, and we've got another dinner lined up already...hohoho...
moral of d story? Great fun, but yours truly fears that she has put on just a bit of weight from that night..... (I can imagine reactions now...)

hellos!
Looking at my last post... it has been almost a month! wow... time flies. can't believe that I am now back in wonderful Japan and on top of it, classes have begun..yucks! haha...
The winter semester is always business and business and business. The lecturers just don't care that students are trying to recover from 2 months of idling... Can't believe that I even had an exam at the end of the summer hols! Darn my faculty for their weird tastes.
Good news for me: less classes this sem! yippie! but more work...boo! well, must be a balance somewhere. At least technically, I now have more time to work, more time to procrastinate, more time to.... no ideas.. maybe I might actually make more effort to go out, if the weather agrees with me. haha!
Speaking of new sem, new students! The yearly cycle for the exchange students. Seems that there are some rather interesting people this time round. I've only met the French speaking people (typically me, lolz. Gotta practice all the time now!).
And lastly, happy belated birthday Su! I know that it's a week late..sorries about that! hope it was great ^_^

The last leg of the race
I think I deserve to take part in the Amazing Race, I am sure that I will be able to compete in that without much problems. Heck, might even win!
Can't believe that I am almost at the end of my travel, 7 long glorious weeks of wandering (almost) around Europe. Just the other day, I realised that I've actually taken all possible modes of transportations! Planes, trains, subways, trams, funiculars, boats, cars! You name it and I would have done it already. I even managed to use all 3 of Paris's airports! Crazy. Yes, indeed when I look back at what I have done, I can't believe I actually did them.
Am now in England. Can't even remember the time I started wanting to come here. It is like a dream to be here. Visiting monuments and areas of names that I know so well but yet have never been to is just a fantastic experience. I only wished that I had enough time, energy and money to visit Stratford-upon-Avon, Stonehenge, Oxford etc. I will have to come back here another time. For now I am contented to be just in London, to see the Phantom, to visit Madame Tussauds (absolutely amazing!), the British Museum. The best part? NO language problem, yeah! lolz... brilliant!
Photos of Venice below, check it out!
cheers, J

Norway 25th-30th Aug
Norway.... land of Vikings and of trolls... of terrible tales and heroic voyages. Also a land of fjords and wonderful sceneries that only New Zealand can rival with.
Bergen is Norway's 2nd largest city, after Oslo. But it is so different from Oslo. It seems that Bergens to not consider themselves to be part of Norway.... or so the tour guide said as we took a quick bus tour around the city's attractions. Must be the region thing, which is not at all uncommon in Europe.
So here are some photos to titilate your senses... and a quick note to the last few photos on food... in order... whale meat, reindeer, and moose. Yes, you have read it correctly... those 3 are Norway's specialities... ^_^
Yours trolly.... J

Ciao!
ITaly... Venice... canals... gondolas... After a month in Paris, and a quick tour or Norway, I finally made it to Italia....
Venice is gorgeous. And why shouldn't it be? With great sunny weather that reminds me of home, and after the coldness of France, what a welcomed change. 7 of us, a small house to ourselves for 3 days 2 nights. What wonderful liberty!
Between riding on the vaporatti (water buses), strolling down the well trodden and narrow streets of Venice, being part of the 20 million visitors that come to Venice each year, can't say things aren't great. However, one must be highly aware of pigeons (+ pigeons poo) at St Mark's square!! Standing still/ seating still regardless makes one perfect pigeon's poo's target... as yours truly have discovered.
The downside of Venice? IT is sinking... and amongst all its beauty, there is an air of fatiguity that one cannot not miss. Being back in Florence, and having to choose between the Italian cities that I have been to (which is not a lot, just Rome to make it 3), I must say I like Florence the best.
BUt other than that, I was in good company, a wondeful guide and friend who made my short trip excellent and memorable. Thanks Marc!

Anyways, classes r so-so cos they r just a bit too easy due to some disputes over class organisation... darn the office... but am just gonna take it as revision...
Photos will be posted soon... when I find more time... it's cold here for summer, kinda like Japan autumn. I'm very much busy freezing myself atm ^_^
If u need to get hold of me, leave me comments or email me.
until next time...
