A week's snippet

Hello, it has been more than a week since my last post :)

I have been away from blogging a while and now I have so many materials to blog about.

To make it easier, here is the snippets of my week!

Saturday, June 30

Had a presentation workshop from 1 o'clock till 6 o'clock. My group has been working on the "Rebranding Japan" task for a month and I think we did well!:D

Had a catching up dinner with ohia afterwards

Went to Tunten for some Thai food

Sunset view from ohia's room

Thai food! I miss Thailand for its food so much ;)

Some donuts from Mr. Donuts for dessert and next day's breakfast

I had the JLPT N1 exam this day! Thank you everyone for cheering me up :D 

I couldn't answer so many questions from the kanji and vocabulary part but hopefully the listening part will help me to pass this exam :D

The university where I had the exam

Dried plum, pretty packanging, awkward slogan in English

There was this Peco chan family restaurant near the university. First time to see! If I weren't alone definitely I would so go there :( I dislike eating out alone...

Kawaii!

A protest against the nuclear reactor in Shinjuku

My dinner that day! Bento take out from Hotto Motto

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Tuesday, July 3

Had an on campus internship interview in Japanese at school, I realized how unprepared I am to face interview in Japanese. I know what I wanted to say but I just couldn't express them in Japanese. Anyway I still got the internship as no one really wants to intern at school.... lol

classes as usual afterwards...

The most boring class I'm taking this term. Everyone is doing other stuff instead of listening

and I drew these! Inspired my Mark Ryden's paintings

Wednesday, July 4

Had uchiage nomikai ( I don't know how to translate it in English but basically we drank after finishing the workshop) and this picture wasn't taken with my camera, stole it from FB lol

Thursday, July 5

I remember I couldn't sleep the previous night either because of alcohol or oolong cha I had.

Ended up being so dead sleepy in class... I am the type of person who doesn't function properly when I am sleepy. On the chinese class, I got my pronunciation all wrong and I couldn't even think what to speak when I meet my professor to discuss about my thesis...

  

I googled to check and yes, alcohol can cause sleep deprivation. One more reason to add on why drinking isn't my thing ;)

Will blog about Friday and so on in another post soon!

Checked out my another blog; http://ameliebeproject.blogspot.com

I posted one new project last week!

Recently.

JLPT test in 4 days, I know I have to study but I'm just so good at procrastinating.

For example, like now I am supposed to study but I'm blogging instead. Not forget to mention that I've spend the whole day reading a novel on my iPhone, created a Pinterest account and also edited a short video of my way to Shinjuku -.-;

Just like another Saturday, I had work at Roppongi

Met this huge spider again

And Said hello to the Tokyo Tower

Funny thing happened after work. I was waiting for Sheng who worked an hour longer than me by sitting on a bench of Roppongi hills, near the spider when a white guy in his early 30s I guess came to me.

He asked me whether I know a restaurant which I don't remember it's name in English. I told him if I don't know about it and I thought he was a lost tourist so I offered him to check it with my phone.

He ended up sitting next to me and told me that he was still waiting for his friends to come. He was surprised that I could speak English fairly well and we chatted for few minutes as I had nothing to do as well.

then...

he gave me his business card...

 LOL

I'm kidding of course it's not that one! that one is the famous meme from the current popular song on Youtube, "Call me Maybe"


anyway that guy was trying to find ways to make me contact him, he also asked me when my friend would come coz he thought I'd like to grab a coffee or something while waiting -.-;

Good that Sheng finally came! So I had an excuse to leave him...

before recording a birthday greeting video for our friend who is in France now

Tsukemen we had at Baba! I love tsukemen more than ramen XD

Went to Asakusa, my fave temple in Tokyo with Patty to pray and check out the Tokyo Solamachi (Where the sky tree is)

I prayed at the temple too and picked up the Omikuji again; got the "small fortune / 小 吉  " which was not bad, I guess :)

Age manju with custard filling, I don't think custard suits age manju...

The world's tallest  broadcasting tower, Tokyo Sky tree is now open.

The Asahi Beer building, used to be the main landmark of Asakusa before Sky tree was there.

An ojisan offered to take pictures of us, why not? :D

The new tobu station

Rillakkuma, Korilakkuma and Kiirotori x Sky tree !

Fat totoro!

Patty and I with tototo, but it was too fat so only one of his eyes can fit ;)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Smiling curry rice I made 2 days ago and I had been having it for 3 days in row as I cooked a lot.

The reason why I love Summer more than winter is that the day is longer.
It feels so great to go home after school when it's still bright outside :)

A bulding and cresent moon bokeh.

Fave quote from my current read: The Perks of being a Wallflower.

Sakuranbo! Japanese cherry :)

and last,

I posted a new project on

Making video is fun! I think I'm gonna try make more from now on

Birthday at Sweet Paradise

Hello! It has been a while isn't it? I noticed that I haven't blogged for more than a week when I moved the pictures from my iPhone to my PC. I know it is bad not to blog but I have been very busy and lazy indeed. lol

Even now, I'm struggling writing the first draft of my thesis introduction which I have to submit in 15 hours!! I'm still on my first page and have to write at least 4 pages O.O I hope I can finish it soon and have time to go to bed.

I'll blog quick!

I went to Shinjuku for my junior's birthday last Sunday.

Outfit of the day, green!

It was the father's day!

Elmo sales man talking to a couple ;) jk of course the elmo can't talk. But so adorable, ain't it?

"the runner dog" in the middle of Shinjuku

It was hot and sunny that day!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Actually we planned to to Bitter Sweet, a sweet buffet restaurant on the top of Lumine Est but apparently it was full, we needed to wait for more than an hour and it wasn't possible for all of us, 8 people to sit in the same table. So we decided to go to Sweet Paradise, a cheaper sweet buffet.

Their sweets are okay but don't expect much for other food.

the birthday girl on the left

Group picture, there was a kind lady who offered to take a pic of us :)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

We went to game center afterwards to take purikura and try our luck and skill on UFO catcher. One of us got one doll and the staff lady there gave us some vouchers of free tokens!

Playing with the free tokens

We ended up losing everything after an hour lol

the purikura

:)

Alright! I have to go back writing my thesis. I might blog again about my weekends in few days!

Have a great Monday :D

The beginning of rainy season

Rainy season has started here in Tokyo!

I don't hate rain but I hate going out on rainy days :(

this post is a sum up of what I've been doing for this week :D

I remember exactly it was raining when I had this chicken rice at Singapura cafe  in Roppongi.
It tasted awesome as I was craving for it and was tired after working.

many many many rainy days

I went to library a lot these days, to study for JLPT! XD

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 

Rare pretty sunny sky!

Rainy season's flower; hydrangea!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I doodle when I am bored...

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Today, had catching up lunch with Nayo at a cafe near my school, Cat's cradle.

I was so hungry that I forgot to take picture of my lunch :(

A cup of cappucino

I was talking to Nayo about how I never had an art caffe latte and I was playing with my cappucino to make one ;)

a sad face

So many travel books :)
Many people in the cafe are studying alone inside! loving the shop's atmosphere

Another friend came for lunch but Nayo had to go for class leaving us.

The another friend needed to kill 3 hours before going somewhere. So we took a walk around to take pictures.

The waseda bear is wearing new shirt!!:)

Passed this shrine

What I love the most in rainy season is definitely Hydrangea!:)

Brownies and a bottle of ginger ale at a cafe up on the hill.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It's going rain for almost the whole week tomorrow! then summer eventually will come...
