unagidon on payday

time seems to be flying so fast that i don’t even realize that it’s payday already.

i decided to NOT get sushi last night, but instead  an energizing unigidon bento instead.

i realized that this is the first time i ate unagi this year, and it tasted just great as always.

it’s summer in Japan and during summer, eating unagi has been a culinary ‘tradition’ here.

anyways, i managed to write a new post that would be an extension to my previous post about answering ‘hard’ questions from my Japanese mates.

in the new post, i tried to tackle one of the two questions that i brought up, and that is the freedom of religious choice for Malaysian Muslims and the New Economic Policy.

i’ll be writing about the former first.

i hope i could post it here as soon as possible.

today i’m going to the Nagatsuta Firework Festifal with my co-workers (there will be about 20 of us), and it would be great!

it’s going to be a great evening, and i’ll make sure to make a new post here and upload pictures on my facebook album.

楽しみだ!

Farewell En Jasri & Giant Gundam

Last night I went out with my co-workers to a Hawaiian place where the food was Hawaiian; it was a very nice place, the food was brilliant and the Hawaiian make-belief was further strengthen by Hawaiian musicians.

It was a fun night; we even played some old school party games from this old Japanese variety tv program 学校へ行こう! (Gakkou e ikou! – Let’s go to school!).

Brings back old memories of my early days in Tokyo.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

This morning I woke up around 10 am, with an annoying headache.

I almost forgot that I’m going to En Jasri’s farewell party that was held at the Malaysian Embassy’s Staff Apartment, so I rushed to prepare to get on the 10:50 am train to Naka-Meguro.

I arrived at Naka-Meguro Station at about 11:45 am, and I went to the nearest Doutour to get some toast and caramel latte while I wait for Bentong to arrive.

We didn’t know how to get there by bus, so we decided to walk.

I met En Jasri, En Redha and En Zubir; and we exchange a couple of sentences.

En Jasri was a really great government officer in charge of the Malaysian students, and I was quite bummed actually that he is going back to Malaysia for a new job.

Anyways, En Jasri gave us a little speech, and it was quite a scary one; especially to those still studying in Japan under government scholarships.

They have decided to cut the amount of allowances if the student didn’t perform on a certain expected level set by them.

I can felt the gloom surrounding the room when this was announced.

As for me, I’m done already, so I need to only worry about job and how am I going to improve my skills at work.

We said our farewells, then off we go to Odaiba to see the time-limited 1:1 scale GUNDAM!!!

It was such a hot day, and there were thousands and thousands of people crowding the park where the giant Gundam stands so freaking handsomely and strong.

It was really bigger than I expected.

It was pretty much the coolest object that I have seen this year.

I hope the next coolest object that I am going to see this year is a pair of medium sized, mango shaped breasts.

For free.

Anyways, I’m was never a fan of Gundam.

I’ve never watched the anime.

Never read the manga.

Never took the time to build a gunpura.

So why a non-fan like me would take the journey to Odaiba just to see this?

It’s simple.

I’m just trying to make those hardcore Gundam fans jealous.

HAHAHAHA.

Good Night people!

;)

i ride pink swan boat!

yeah i know.

i really have nothing to post here.

so i’ll post pictures of what i did last sunday.

me and 4 of my co-workers (we all live in the same company apartment :社宅) went to Sagami Lake; just a 45 minutes ride by car from our apartment.

upon arriving, we were greeted with a giant tower that looks like a huge dick.

yeah.

i know i’m cheap like that.

then the five of us rode a pink swan boat that was built for 4.

this is the first time that i rode a swan boat on a lake.

and it was fun.

then we took purikura together.

then we eat ice-cream.

yay.

ok goodbye for now.

got to go to bed early, like always!

oh, before i forget, here’s something for you perverts:

Nozomi Sasaki
Ai Shinozaki
Reon Kadena
