update

Took me quite some effort to come back in and write a blog. First of all, the project required for graduation has been finished and now I'm working on a different circuit board. Also, more time is spent on Japanese langaguage. Saturdays are spent on working, Sundays are spent on keeping the house clean. Time just go past so fast. 2 more months before I really begin working, but first of all need to get past the interview stage and lots of other things to prepare. So till then, keep you guys updated as much as I could.

Relaxing day

This saturday, I woke up thinking I had to go teach tution when I realised that it is a public holiday. yeah, in Japan, if a public holiday lands on a Saturady, there will only be a holiday on Saturday. Anywayz, I stayed at home and lazed around, packed up the place, watch a movie called "Stealth." Another movie waiting for me but I guess I will watch it tomorrow.

Something interesting happened on Friday thought. I was writing a program for playing sounds on speaker on my circuit board. When I was running it, weird sounds was coming out(because it is not working properly) but after that, "hello world!" starts showing up in the console( message from the circuit board). This hello world thing is actually a project that i done a few months ago and no where in my code tells the board to show the message. My friend was telling me it is a curse. haha. After correcting the program a little, the word that start flashing was "給” which means give. I decided to call it a day as I don't want to see what is next in the series of message. haha. Anyway, I think this is not as scary as what my friend got the last time.

During the message displaying project, instead of "hello world!", the message that came out was "死”which means death. I think that would have been more scary. Glad I didn't get that.

harajuku

Today went to Harajuku with some friends. Explored parts of the street where I didn't explore the last time I went there. Luckily, this time I'm equiped with my camera also and took some interesting pictures. Look out at the flickr link at the side bar. Basically, there is a gathering area where people who like to dress up in gothic style costumes gather. Be it for making friends, or for photographers to snap away, there are quite a big group of them standing around and enjoy the company of their own kind. Me and my friends mingled into the crowd and emerge with some cool shots of them. After that, we headed for meiji temple and witnessed a little of a traditional Japanese wedding. According to locals, these wedding are pretty rare and really glad that we got to catch it. What's different is that the wedding is kinda quiet and I only caught a part of it. Quite interesting thought. Back to work on Monday. Can't believe the weekend passed so fast.

Earthquakes

Felt three light earthquakes these few days when I'm in the office. Not to the extend when things on the table start to shake, more like hangers swaying and coffee in cup splashing. All these makes me realize how fortunate Singaporean are in Singapore when they don't have to be born with the fear of earthquakes and typhoons. Also, they don't have to bear with the hot weather in summer, cold weather in winter. On the down side, there is no "real" snow to be seen in Singapore which is quite a good exchange I think. Tomorrow going to carry on my parttime teaching job, just when I thought that I have a weekend to rest at last.
