oh yay i'm so happy todayy!! =D =D =D

anyway it's my first time working the night shift today and it was quite fun. hmm but the restaurant was quite empty todayy.. wonder whyy. and it was my first time picking up calls and taking down delivery orders, albeit without any professional training. i was so afraid i will make so many mistakes, both in the procedures and my japanese. but anyway it was really exciting. hehee... hmm i guess i'm getting used to the job now. for the first two days i was actually quite afraid to go work cuz i'm afraid i'll make mistakes. but now i realized that making mistakes is part of the experience and since i'm working for the experience, i should be glad that i'm making mistakes.

this is really an all-new experience for me as it's my first part-time job. i'm learning much more than i thought i would. it's not just the money, not just the chance to speak jap, but the extra knowledge about jap cuisines that i can't learn elsewhere. it's the experience of being a waiter and serving japanese customers in japanese.

oh well, i still have about 4 more months to enjoy this job before i go to the army! have fun~! =D

long time no post.. i've been busyy these few days. it's a totally different kind of lifestyle now cuz there's no more studying.. and the things i'm busy with are things like... playing and working. talking about work. yesterday was my third day at work. i guess i've kind of gotten used to it now. the first day was terribly terrible. terribly busy... n i was quite afraid of doing stuff lest i do them wrongly. but now it's actually quite fun working. anywayy there's this real nice guy called glen at my working place and he invited me to his birthday party yesterday after work. i was quite surprised cuz i only knew him for like 2,3 days. but anyway i went.and it turned out to be an enriching experience cuz i got to meet different kind of people (all older than me though), and people whom i've never met before. hmmmm at first i felt quite out of place cuz glen is 30 yr old. and apart from me, the youngest person there was 10 years older than me. really amazing. and glen can speak many many many many many languages. and i'm truly impressed cuz he's been to half the world and stayed in japan for 6 years. so yesterday at the party, there were many kinds of people. and it's quite interesting to hear how he got to know them. he got to know his girlfriend through his german class. and there was this japanese whom he got to knoe through his french class. and this japanese, who's called shibata mamoru, is learning chinese now. wow wow wow. and everyone present yesterday was kinda like big shots, ranging from newman magazine chief editor to financial advisors. so anywayy, we started talking abt many many stuff. really interesting. hehh and we stayed till like 3 plus am in the morning before going home. and i'm really really tiredd cuz i played soccer in the morning and i need sleep. ahh...

ゼロから出発

ああ、なんか僕の人生は改めて生きるっていう感じがするんだ。今日は、ほぼ十年ぐらいも雇われて、同じ家に住んでいたメイドさんの最後の日だ。明日から他のご主人に雇われることになって・・まあ、僕をそのウザくて小さくて幼い子から、今の僕に成長してきたのを、ずっと見ていた彼女のことだから、多かれ少なかれ感謝したいものだね。更に、これからの生活はきっと何かが足りなくてむなしく感じるような日々になるんだろう。う?ん、もう十八歳だから、メイドさんやらお母さんやら誰かに、いつまでも頼り続けるわけには行かないから、もう自立するべきだね。それをわかってながら、心の奥底から、感激な気持ちが溢れてくるよね。もう家族の一員になったみたいだ。これからの生活と言うと、掃除や洗濯や食事などの家事は我々五人家族が順番でやるしかないだろう。うん、できるんだけど、きっと昔の贅沢の生活が懐かしく感じるだろう。

今のね、うちの状況は、なんか見てるドラマ「あいのうた」と同じようだ。あいのうたに出演する愛ちゃん（菅野美穂）は何週間片岡さんのうちに泊まっていて面倒を見てもらったら、ある日、もうこれ以上頼るわけには行かないと、家出した。まあ、それはドラマだけど、通過点はあるんだね。う?ん・・もちろん、僕らを除いて、あといとこさんもきっとメイドさんのことが好きだな。昨日も、いとこさんとメイドさんがお互い抱きしめてぽこぽこ涙を流した。彼女から見ると、きっともっと悲しいと思う。僕らにとって、ただ家族の一人のメイドさんがいなくなるのに対して、彼女から見れば、この馴染んだ家族を離れ、全く別なところに暮らすようになって、全く新しい生活を送るようになったのだ。そもそもシンガポールは彼女の故郷じゃなくて、友人とか親戚とか何一人いない。だから、きっと辛いですね、彼女は。だから、もし僕は涙を流すとすれば、それは僕らがこれから辛くなるっていうような涙じゃなく、彼女のために流すのだ。メイドさん、僕らは本当に感謝しています。これからしばらく会わないと思うから、気をつけて、生活を楽しんでください。この間、お世話になりました。

うわぁ・・悲しい話だったなあ。ｗ
まあ、うれしいことに、火曜日は最後の試験だ。それに・・・明日からバイトを始めること！ああ、ドキドキすると同時にわくわくしてる！楽しみだな！大したへまがないように！

星野亜紀！

あっ・・最近しょっちゅうバラエティ番組に出てんの。可愛すぎ！ロンドンハーツとネプリーグに初登場した彼女は可愛くてたまんな?い！


星野亜紀ちゃん！


できる子だって・・もう２７歳だから、言動に気をつけましょう！


寂しげな顔！

to be over in a few days

woah... every paper is so hard it's not surprising anymore. thursday's chem, friday's gp, today's physics. none of them have failed to surprised us, be it kind of questions, format of paper or difficulty level. i wonder wad's going on in cambridge. some ppl say that the number of As for Alevels is getting too ridiculously high, so they want to keep it down. oh well.. i guess we just have to live with it.

actually there's no point in giving us any more time to study, cuz we won't. all of us are already so tired of studying. tomorrow i have chem paper 2, wednesday physics paper 3. and that's abt it! thursday jap listening, friday chem paper1 and next tues jap! yay. and that's the end of As, for me!

on a sadder note, i haven't recieved my enlistment letter yet. heh maybe they exempted me from ns! yay...

Weird Dreams

in the midst of Alevels... in fact, only two days have passed, i've already felt my brain power and energy being drained. it's not just the studying part, it's also the part that i feel that i have to do well. really stressful. first paper was math. it wasn't a breeze. it wasn't easy. i had to crack my brain to solve many of the questions. and at the end of the exam, i went home with a headache, unable to study for the next paper, which was today. and today's paper was chem. oh my goodness. it was worse than math... in fact i felt that it was as hard/ harder than our school prelims. n they even tested us skill A! omg..just when we thought spa is over, prac is over, they came out with the clever idea of planning an experiment... wow.. gg

as can be seen from above, alevels is not going to be easy n this is jus the start. good luck to all...

Alevels

wow. three days left to the start of Alevels written examinations, and i'm slacking my ass off. stress stress ahhh.. well on the brighter side, 12 more days to the "end" of alevels, and 16 more days to the official end of my 12 years of education in singapore. time flies. it's been twelve years since i first stepped into school.

oh what have i done today? nothing!! alright, i planned to study physics today. but the moment i opened my physics tys, i felt a strong sense of langour overwhelming from inside my body. then i thought to myself, alright, it's no the right time to crack my brains to solve physics questions. so i went to study jap! what an enjoyment, as usual. okay i shall go study jap again (even though it's the last subject)... byee
