Lots have been happening after my birthday. So here’s just a quick rundown…

1. Got my Japanese visa done at the embassy!
The visa fler was fierce and nit-picking at my documents but thank goodness he approved the visa application, for free! Malaysian passport is just a pain sometimes. Single gal going far far to a rich country for long holiday = single gal going far far to rich country to be a hooker/food peddler in Chinatown/other obscure jobs etc. Good thing I got all my documentation done. smiley

2. Found a new place to rent.
Cute little room, great location, lotsa food nearby. smiley More on that in the next post. Maybe photos too. If I get around to doing that.

3. Packed and moved out of hall on a rainy day.
Not cool. Just had to use canvas sheet to cover my stuff while we raced across half the island on a pickup truck with heavy rain pelting down. And the pickup truck guy was late. Might have missed the rain if he was on time. Might have.

4. Ikea had a sale.
So now I have a few more items added to my load of ‘assets’. And, on a sidenote, was like, the entire Singapore refurnishing their house last weekend? Cos I bloody had to queue for 45 mins at the checkout counter. So tired after that, not from the shopping but from the queueing.

sidenote: Found an Italian stall in Anchorpoint’s food court (opp Ikea) that sells decent italian pasta at cheap prices. I mean, I had a huge plate of spaghetti with 2 crayfish, fresh tomatoes and lots of fragrant garlic, for only 9 dollars!

5. FYP meeting!
argh. So scary. Internship coming to an end = next year starting = final year starting = final year project! *hyperventilates* eecks! *and faints*
But no matter, had a fruitful meeting, brainstormed and planned out everything. Next year must definitely be serious about school. rah!

And here’s what’s to come…

1. Going back to KL for long wesak weekend!
yay! ‘nuf said. smiley

2. My sis is coming to visit me!
yay! x10

3. Internship ending soon..
which also means report due soon. Major URGH. Still can’t understand what’s the deal with writing a formal report. Isn’t the 6 months good enough? I seriously enjoy my internship, just not the report and paperwork part. Please NTU, must we academic-ise everything?

4. Going to Tokyo!!!!
yeeeeeeaaaayyyy! Gonna fly over to Tokyo to visit my darling for SIX WEEKS! w00t! Must start on my Japanese phrase book soon. Konichiwa! blablabla…

Living in exciting times. smiley
