Wow..today was a really interesting day...Vince came to my house in the morning and we planned to go to Sentosa..there were certain isssues that bothered we and we kind' of discussed over it...resolvement did not come easy..I couldn't way that we discussed it, but I guess the issue was laid down crudely, but we settled the conflict in the end..Through this, I was able to see a different perspective about things...



As we were too late for Sentosa at 2pm in the noon, I suggested that we'll go to the Yishun swimming complex instead..we bought a rubber football and brought it into the swimming pool. I invented a game that could be played using the sides of the pool, where our legs are required to pass the ball around..it requires teamwork and physical stamina, and we kinda did a few modifications to the game, which is to use our forehead to pass the ball instead...



After coming back home at around 6pm, I took a bus to Audrey's birthday Bash at Bukit Panjang...when I entered the room...I saw the friendly japanese debators who came on our class the other day during FP2.2. I saw Yoshitaka, Atsushi and Yusuke...Yoshitaka instantly recognized me and asked me if I could remember speaking to him the other day...the guys were very friendly...=) I was extremely hungry then and instantly took the food from the buffet..and plonked myself on the table where Faiza, Magdalene and Weiling and Atsushi were sitting at. I had a fun time talking and cracking jokes to them...



As the other japanese guys were off to play some games on the other side of the room, Atsushi was left at his seat, and he introduced himself and we had a very interesting conversation. He asked me many questions..and while I was talking to him, I realised that I was beginning to nod my head and speak in an accent like his. That was weird. o_0

Magdalene was really nice and she got me a second serving of food on my behalf while we were in a middle of a conversation. Soon after finishing my second serving of food, Magdalene, Faiza and Weiling decided that they had to go home...



Atsushi asked me about life in Singapore, such as my interests, hobbies and lifestyle...He was suprised and amazed that I knew so much about the japanese culture, such as my interests in japanese dramas, actors and singers. He mentioned that he hadn't realised that the japanese culture could spread to somewhere as far as Singapore . Atsushi is a very nice and humble person as well as he was mentioning that Japan debators are lousy in comparison with Singapore debators, using his gestures to express it. It was insightful talking to him as we discussed about many things, even the weather,places,time needed to come from Japan( appr. 6 hours although Atsushi said 60 hours at first) in Japan..it was enjoyable relating things to him as he was very helpful and genuine. He was candid about his views about Singapore. He said that it is a cleaner place then Japan where there are more litter on the ground and

also remarked that gals in Singapore are more friendly, kind and polite. The gender equality norm is rising in Japan and he feels that japanese gals are beginning to become selfish and self-centered...

When I told him about my wish to go to Japan in the near future, he suggested that he could be my tour guide. In fact, he even offered to provide free lodging at his house in Tokyo...=) He also asked me if had ever met a japanese gal, and said that he'll introduce his gal friends to me when I visit Japan...



^_-" *subarashi!~



Time passed very quickly whilst chatting and soon, it was time for Audrey begin the cutting cake ceremony. It was rreally funny when we were singing the birthday song..it sounded different hearing a japanese guy like Atsushi singing a birthday song...o_o



Audrey was to be saboed so her group of friends used a guy as a distractor and Audrey went along to the swimming pool, with the thought that everyone wanted to sabo the guy and toss him into the swimming pool...little did she realise that she was the main target. ^_^



The three japanese guys were worried and they stood far away from the pool with the fear that they might be saboed as well...as expected Audrey was being dragged my a few guys and pushed into the pool..she landed with a huge splash and that was hilarious..^0^ When she got off the pool, dripping wet, the first person she went for was Yusuke, well, you can literally hear him scream and struggle for his life....~ *Ahem* I wasn't let off...she gave me a bear hug from the back and I was practically gasping for air...*splutter*



It was approaching ten and the japanese guys had to leave, thus I asked Yoshitaka to leave me his e-mail address..as well...Atsushi's e-mail add is pocky6791102@hotmail.com and he'll update me about stuff in Japan when he goes back..Yoshitaka's e-mail add is del_piero_10_7@yahoo.co.jp..After shaking their hands and soing the polite bow, we waved goodbye and went on our separate ways...



This is one experience that I'll remember. I could feel the passion inside, to explore Japan and I hope that I'll make my dream come true on day...hmm..perhaps I could work during the december holidays to save up for the trip....=)



P.s. Justin approached me and told me that he was glad for me when he saw me chatting with the gals earlier..he was glad that I have opened up and am finally myself...I thank him for his encouragement...('',) Oh and I gotta mention, earlier,Atsushi asked Justin if he was a judo learner coz he so fit what....like Brock Lesnar (although Juz would beg to differ) =P



*whew*...I've typed so much...now I am feeling groggy....to sum up...I am knackered...kay..gotta go...ciao...^_*
