Some pictures. See I'm still alive. and breathing. hahaYesterday was insane. Some family party in the afternoon (we made takoyaki and okonomiyaki! yums! and it's so easy! but i doubt we can find the takoyaki machine back at home.hmm), some drinking sessions with the colleagues at night, and karaoke-d till 3 am or later. HAHA. I wanted to Kyoto today but, HOW? haha.
Intern has been great. I had an awesome dinner of raw fishes with the bosses. And of cos a drinking and Japanese satay session afterwards. No, I have not been drinking a lot. Maybe like twice a week the most. See, I've been really good. Cycling around is the best exercise. I love the chilly wind blowing pass my face (: The people are really nice and friendly too. They are really curious about the diversities of ASEAN countries and are very keen to know more about it. But I really should have learnt Japanese. Sigh. It was a little sad when the operators try to make me understand what they are trying to tell me but just saying all the Japanese food namae. HAHA I have stong Japanese vocab in those, only. I would have been able to learn so many more things if I do. Note to self: omg learning is neverending.
Takoyaki in making! Super fun (:
I'll take good care of myself here. You all have to too. Cos I miss you all, I'm blessed with great family members and awesome friends like you all and I'm appreciating it.

Konbawa! Summimasen for not updating upon arrival!
I have to wake up at 6 (i.e. 5 Sg time) tomm morning for work. lol. I shall just briefly update.
1. Was in Tokyo for one day half. Gorgeous. and very urbanized. Orientation at the head office was very posh. Shibuya was crowded worse than Orchard and Tokyo Tower is an Eiffel Tower immitate.haha Shijuku is nearby too but we didn't have time to explore. Just go watch Shinjuku Incident and the streets look exactly alike.
2. Am now in Osaka, Takaishi-city, preparing to sleep in my very kawaii ne apartment. Go watch Ramen Girl and that's how the neighbourhood looks like. I live by the sea and I cycle to work. shocked? there's more to come. haha
3. I HAVE NO INTERNET CONNECTION.
The Japanese are very nice once they know you are a foreigner. The food is OMG. Simply OMG. even the 460 yen katsudon has the most juicy and tender meat ever.
I'll try (albeit very hard) to upload some pics when my eyes can open wider. I'm missing you, you, and you. And home the most.
Oyasuminasai!
