HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW YEAR, GoodBye Tiger YEAR---- HELLO RABBIT YEAR!!!!!!!! Oh wow, it is 2011 ............................ again..... WOW................................. LOL I know, I am just very speechless, almost 1 year 3 months ago I was just getting ready to prepare myself departing to Japan Almost 1 year ago, I was heartbroken by my best friend. LOL Almost 1 year ago, I was travelling around Hokkaido with my sister LOL. And now, all the past should just go in the past but reminiscing is as always fun to do. You learned alot and may laugh by yourself for the things that you have done or regret of the things that you have not done. But 2010 is 2010. NOW .... ladies and gentlemen... is 2011 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Celebrating New Year in Japan, is not the same as how I used to celebrate New Year in Sydney or in Jakarta. Would you like to know a little glimpse of what Japanese people do during New Year? ...

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY ... MERRY ... MERRY ... CHRISTMAS! God bless YOU!! Wow, can you believe that it's Christmas already? I went to Church from 2 pm - 5.30 pm for our Christmas Celebration to remind us again what is the meaning of Christmas. We had a guest speaker, his name is Hiroshi Sakakibara and He talked about "Holy Child" which is Jesus Christ. As a believer, I believe Christmas is to remind us that it is all about Jesus Christ, born into this world to wash away our sins. We should have died and just burned away in Hell because of our sins but redeemed by His blood on the Holy cross. We originally were created as creations that are Holy, but because Adam and Eve fell into sin (death) we have to suffer (experience death). I know Christmas for those who are non-believers mean dinner, exchange gifts and Christmas tree. But believe me, I also DID all that but not many people know the meaning of Christmas. A person who lives under the same house, apparent...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! THIS is my 24th birthday celebrated in Japan, it's my 2nd time so, it feels as if I am in Japan for 2 years but actually not. It's just that my birthday is in December (7th to be exact!!) so I get to celebrate it! So this is the people who celebrated my birthday with me!!! We made CHEESE FONDUE for the night!!! YEAY!! And with generous KANPAI(s) with NO-ALCOHOL, because I am alcohol intolerant, we started our dining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe The cheese was OK, as usual, Cheese or any dairy products in Japan is very weak in taste, it felt as if I was eating cream instead. LOL not cheese. But since everybody was so nice, I love them alot, it really made my day! And, since Fugu-chan worked like crazy during last week, I assumed he is not going to come AT ALL. But HE CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only spent 2 hours in Tokyo and back to Tochigi which takes like 1.5 hours by Shinkansen one way. He...

On Saturday the 20th, we had a KOREAN BBQ Party!!!! Damn Awesome! The master chef, Choi-san ( Left) from Korea is so nice he bought all these awesome awesome Korean meat, and made 2 types of soup for us here the residents of Oakhouse Ryogoku! We had all the salad lined up, the soy-paste, the yummiest slices of grilled beef, the super mouth-salivating soup and rice, it was just never ending party! I told him that we should have this once per month but he said that the next time we have one it will be me (Indonesian food). Geeze, making traditional food is NEVER easy. Oh, before we started I made a starter it was Fried Chicken Mayonnaise. Everyone LOVED IT. Here is the picture! ( above !). LOL Then, I received a cocoa-coated chocolate cake from Fugu-chan, he brought it to me in the morning. He said that he bought it on the lobby of the fanciest hotel in Ryogoku. LOL It costs him a lot he said. LOL The Master Chef is the one on the far right and thanks Fugu chan for taking the pic. LO...
