errr update

Hua… this blog has not been taken care of, has not been pruned, watered and given sufficient sunlight. I have been lazy. I have a lot of things to share, but well, just no motivation to update. Perhaps, I am just occupied with other matters.

Perhaps this is just a little update as I still have other homeworks to do, e.g. completing some memorabilia and memento for this year.

Starting next week is 1 week holiday in Japan. hahha, Japanese loves holiday, there are 3 times 1-week holiday in japan, winter, summer and golden week. Moreover, every month there will be 1-2 days holiday. That is plenty considering japan does not have religious holiday. Can you imagine that? So, what occasions the holidays for? Hmm, mostly are for the emperor and the nature dedication. yeah, this is japan.

So, I will be completing my 3-month stay in Japan. It has been great, despite the many hick ups and some personal issues. Japan is an amazing country, I am still amazed how the country survives with no oil, little natural resources and frequent earthquakes. Three months in Japan and I have felt numerous tremors. yeah, it is mild, but still, the room is shaking. But don’t worry, the houses and offices and infrastructure are earthquake-equipped.

Well, last friday I was talking to one colleague and he told me that japan’s economy is pretty bad for many many years. yeah, i heard about that. It has been under economic slump. Surprisingly, it can’t really be felt as I see everyone is spending. But again, it is of course on the surface level. I don’t really know the reality, but from the observation in the office, I have come to realise, it is a bit hard.

Oh ya, yesterday I went to shinjuku for some shopping. Gosh, lucky that I have not bought anything as today, my Japanese friends told me that next year, which is a few days away, there will be great sale in all depato and the discount is quite big. Anyway, yerterday as I window shopped, I suddenly realise how good Japanese products are, I mean the fashion. Gosh, it is really really refined. Good quality! But well, it comes with a prize of course.

Just a little update. The work for the past week is good. I have been pretty busy and exhausted. The last few week I have been going to another office, which is slightly furthur, thus I need to leave the apartment early. I love the new place though, because it has a canteen and I don’t have to eat cold bento.

Btw, the temperature keeps dropping and it is really cold. Hua, I am thinking to buy an extra heater, but not sure how I can dispose it when I need to leave japan. Errr.. this is the problem of being a nomad.

Oh ya, last week on 24th dec, we had a christmas eve service. The service was simple, I liked it. I also met new friends there, they are from phillipines. Yeah, there are friendly and it is great meeting them.

Today, I went to church as usual and err late. It is good that i met some new friends as well. In the afternoon, I went to another church in tokyo, heheh yeah, I am free, blame it on my plenty time. I met a new friend, a Japanese. Hohohoho, I spoke japanese with her.  yeah it is great and well, she said my japanese is good. Errr.. for someone like me who like being praised… errr errrrr
