Day 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

So, it's time to update the blog again.

Friday marked the first week of my stay in Japan. My day was again talk with fellow engineers and receive some plastic training from boss. For lunch, joined another team that day. That team is pre-dominantly japanese. Went to some authentic Okinawa restaurant and ate some fried noodles. Again, they served rice beside the fried noodles. Damn full.

After work that day, originally wanna go Shibuya and walk walk, but was not feeling very well. Always so sickly, so headed home instead. As usual, on the way home, went for dinner. Thinking it should be the normal friday night outing, so I should eat something better, so increase my budget by 2 times and ate something nice, at 1190yen. This certain eating house is a so-called Beijing style, went inside and ordered the 饺子面. So this is the one.
After the meal, feel damn shagged and wanted to buy some ice-cold beer to relax. Beer in Japan isn't expensive, but then suddenly felt that such an act resembled Bangalas, so decided to be more high-class and went to Starbucks instead. Ordered Java Chip Frap. Totally release all the stress and tiredness for the week.
After the ice-coffee tasting session, went home do some chores and slept. Then saturday felt damn sick and giddy. Keep waking and sleeping and the cycles goes on. In between switched on the television to watch the quake situation in China. It really seems damn bad... Feel really sad for the people and for China. Overall, think that China government is doing a good job, but ya, let's donate or help in whatever way we can.

That night, anyhow cooked and it's my dinner. And dinner is my only meal for that night. It is cooked by putting the 2 different instant dish in the oven, wait for the rice to be cooked in the rice-cooker and pour it on top of the rice. Yay. 親子 and 牛丼.
After the meal, washed up and clean the place, and back to the cycle of waking and sleeping till 2pm Sunday, so missed church in the morning. Was feeling much better after waking up, so went to grocery shopping in the nearby supermarket, 3 min walk from home. Too lazy, wanted to buy instant/cup noodles to eat instead. Biang, 5 packet of instant noodles in s'pore cost around $1.60, here cost $6++. Suan le bah... Instead bought some traditional Jap noodles, and a packet of 14 dumplings.

Once I'm home, remembered that a few months ago, there was this incident in Japan that the dumplings from China was poisoned and dunno how many pple died. Regretted buying the dumplings man, yet dun wanna waste it cos it's 358yen, tt means S$7+. So just proceeded to cook the noodles, and dumplings. After that, made some 麻婆 gravy, and then poured on top the noodles. I think it's by far the nicest meal I've cooked.
So after that just rot at home and slept, it'll be another week ahead.

Monday, started some new type of job, quite interesting but cannot disclose. haha. That day lunch eat at some jap-style eating place with the pre-dominantly japanese group again. Ordered some chicken cutlet rice. 1050yen. FAINT....

That evening after work, followed some of the colleagues to play basketball at a gym nearby (1 subway station away). Had not played basketball for ages... I think japanese gym really very interesting, just look like those type u see in jap drama. The flooring is those type of shiny wood. The game was fun and tiring. Anyway besides us there were this group of high school students, a mix of guys and girls playing volleyball.... Cant see the girls' face clearly, but their scream during the game sounded cute enough. HAHA.

After the game, went to some yakitori place to eat. Yaohui's favourite. The food is really damn nice, and I think the price is also damn expensive. Ordered some grapefruit juice. It very interesting, they slice open the grapefruit and you gotta squeeze the juice out yourself. They ordered some sashimi also. REAL AUTHENTIC JAP-STYLE SASHIMI. WAHAHAHA.

When the bill came, 6 of us ate 16000+yen, which is around S$220. They treated me and seriously I feel very bad. I think by the time I leave Japan, I'll buy something for them...

Tuesday, a normal day of work. In the morning, there's some typhoon. Not too amazed or scared by typhoon as I have seen quite a lot back in Hong Kong. The wind is really strong, got the feeling that you're going to be blown away.

Dunno why everyone was so busy and no one asked me for lunch.... sadded. So had lunch alone at the "canteen" in the office-building. Canteen doesn't mean that it's cheap and seriously the food SUX MAX. Ordered some chicken cutlet rice again, the cutlet is like being frozen for very long so it's damn hard to bite apart. yikes. Afternoon is work again... ya.

And just b4 going home, realised that I lost the Suica, Suica is something like EZlink. Shit... I've got the monthly concession stored inside. The company paid for it. I've lost it and it means that this month's transport, I'll needa pay myself. DAMN FREAKING EX la... Furthermore, I've just added 1000yen into the card on Monday. Really sucks la. I really hate that pair of jeans. The idiot designer made the pocket so shallow, I think I've lost count of how many mobile phone and cards that I've lost when wearing that stupid pair of jeans. Feel like dumping it and getting another pair. Shit. Anyway went to the train station office to report loss. Lucky Japan is quite efficient. They can check through the system and will give me a replacement tmr, but i'll needa pay 1000yen. The concession will still be there, just that the stored value will be gone i supposed. Stupid me, should have report the loss at the home station rather than the office station. So tmr before i go office, i can get back the Suica and use the concession. Now, I'll needa buy ticket tmr to the office station and get the card... Sian....

Anyway, on the way home ate dinner. Some beef rice and a piece of salmon. The beef rice is nice but the salmon is the worst piece of salmon I've ever eaten.
Tomorrow is already mid-week. And will be playing badminton after work. Must work out more and lose weight since I've been eating a lot in Japan. ya will update again.
