feels just like home...
today went to office on time (ie at 830). one of the rare times.. okok.. i admit, i was 5 mins late.. =p as i was saying.. today was supposed to go yokohama some expo for the eds fair.. but we went to the office first because me manager said he will "pick us up at the office" at 9 to go there, since we dun really know the exact location of the expo.
anyway notice that the phrase is in inverted commas. i think our common understanding in singapore is that when u say u wanna pick someone up, u mean u drive and give the person a lift rite? well, not in this case. we thot it was so, and so happily we agreed to go to office in the morning for him to "pick us". (anyway that's why i was early today) when we left the building, expecting him to lead us to some carpark, we were of course surprised (or stunned?!? either lah). then he talked about which train line we wanna take, then it finally dawned upon us that we are all going to take train together!!@(#*!)@!
well for that, 1) i woke up early, 2) i spend 200 yen on bus to office and 260 yen for train ride (when i could have taken a straight train from my dorm for only 160 yen)
#(*&^@(^#(*&@*@*#(*&##(
$)($#&$(@*&#@($#)#(#@&#
anyway, besides the morning surprise, the day went ok. well anything is better than staying in office rite? so we reached there, walked in, first person to greet us was a gal dressed up in race queen suit! wow! some legs she got there! and i thot this showgals only appear in game fairs and motor shows.... guess its a japan thing (read: cater to all the japanese lao tikohs). sad to say, i dun have a photo of her, neither do i have much of the others... this is because, unlike the motor shows and games fairs, seems that no one else took any pics of them, so i guess we better not start. =p (lp-less singaporeans here).
well, guess what? about 95% of the fair is in japanese (and 5% english, we dun have interest in the products). so there we are, supposed to gather info, ask questions abt the ic design flow and tools, we ended up not able to understand anything at all... haha, gals-wise, work-wise, i guess it was a wasted trip. however....
since we are sengkahpor-lang, you should expect us not to grab hold of all free gifts and lucky draws rite? hurhurhurhurhurhur... so off we went, penning all the questionnaires that were offered to us, to gain one free gift after another. there are some lucky dips and lucky draws as well, with top prizes of nintendo ds as well as ipod mini! too bad, not my lucky day. chee keong managed to win a digital pace counter, and siownan a small travel bag. nope... me never win anything at all.. but guess have to be satisfied with the large amt of free goodies =p
anyway the fair wasn't that big, so we finished walking at ard 1 pm (since we can't understand jap, no point staying further). obviously, we went back dorm instead of going to office muahahah... happy happy =)
but now got to worry abt the report =(
anyway, i bought an ebi chilli bento for lunch on the way back dorm. closest thing to chinese food i think, so i like it quite a bit. for dinner, lazy to go out and buy, so decided to just cook 2 eggs and eat it with rice. however my fren, tsutsen was so kind that he gave me a can of his imported-from-singapore stewed pork chop. cool! feels just like home... back home, when there isn't many ppl eating at home, my mum will just open a can of stewed pork chop and cook 2 eggs for me. thus tonite, the dinner reminded me of home... mum, i miss u =) (okok... i miss u, sis and dad too!)
as usual, photos later..
