First day of School at Yamasa

Osu~ this morning was the start of my lesson. not too bad. as i already knew almost all the grammar that i am going to learn for these 3 mths, it is going to be a relatively easy course for me. so i am using this chance to watch more tv, speak to more people using words that i supposed to know but somehow didnt use before, reading etc. basically the school load will not be very heavy so at the end of the 3 mths, whether i will learn a lot out of this trip really depends on the non sch things that i will be doing, like toking to the shopkeepers, toking to sensei etc. i have the option to change to another class which focuses of conversation only, but it is going to be very packed and fast paced. so after much thought, i was thinking even though it is good that i will learn a lot if i change class, i still prefer to enjoy my stay here and not become some hardcore mugger just to keep up with class -_- haha

Bleach Movie - The Diamond Dust Rebellion~

osu, i finally got to visit the japan cinema. actually it is nothing very special. it is just like any other cinema in SG. today after class, me and kelvin met up with the korean couple, a hong kong gal (who is just 19 yrs old and waiting to go Uni in UK), few other friends we just made. went to visit the place they stay which at Yamasa Village. apparently it is hostel like where people share the facilities.

we then went to a near by shopping centre which has a cinema inside, and somehow we found out that a few of us watch anime and that obviously includes Bleach. and tata~ we realised that the cinema is showing a new Bleach movie, the dianmond dust rebellion~! so yup went to watch the movie. below is the trailer!



something interesting about the movie ticket rates. wednesday is ladies day, thursday is guys day, 50 yr old couple has discount too etc. so yup something you dont expect in SG. normal ticket sells at about 20 odd bucks which is freaking expensive, but today is thurday (i.e guys day!) so i paid 13 bucks to watch bleach. which is a lot cheaper. of course it still hurt my wallet. but well i have to at least try watching a movie in japan once rite?

oh back to bleach~ the movie isnt that bad. got a few taicho come out to fight. the only problem i have is there is NO SUBTITLE. super tough. so for most part of the show i have been guessing what they are saying. oh and something amazing, melissa (the hong kong gal) learnt all her japanese from watching anime without subtitle. she did that for 2 yrs? and seriously i think her japanese is comparable to mine if not even better -_- and she is currently assigned to beginner class starting from chapter 1 -_- all because she nv formally learn japanese before. so from now on i shall oso watch anime without subtitle!! argh

ok la. as of now life is still going well. things are expensive but i have been sticking to the cheaper stuffs which is slightly more expensive than stuffs in SG. my lunch was a bento which cost me 6 bucks? so 20 school days = 20 bento so thats hmm 120 bucks haha. still need to add breakfast and dinner. so hopefully i got enuf money to survive.

kkz thats all. signing off~
