i succumbed

hello guys... i have succumbed... i now have internet in my room.. slow (ok not that slow but slower than the school's) and unstable as it may be, you never appreciate being able to use the internet in your nice comfy room until you have gone through days without being able to... and so i am happy and contented with my slow and unstable internet i have gotten. ^_^

i would like to give myself the excuse that it's because there's an increase in research work that needs to be done and it's getting too cold to keep on going down to the computer room to use the wireless internet... but we all know that those reasons are just to justify my dying need to watch taiwan drama and variety shows on youtube.. but then again seriously, research work has really increased. so yes. i got internet. so much for saying that i wouldn't succumb for the past 6+ months. ha. ok.. you can start laughing your heads off now.

anyway, shunling thank goodness the royal mail has stop their strike... i finally received your mail yesterday! yay!!! *\^.^/* and i shall now answer your call for information on my life in japan..(shunling says i haven't told you guys much about my life here actually.. and now that she's mentioned it.. yes i realise that i haven't really told you guys much about japan actually)

for one thing.. it's been a long time already but have i told you guys that the atm machines here aren't 24/7? and contrary to common belief, japan is no where near convenient.. at least not when compared to singapore. anyway more about the atm machines here.. guess what? they have operating hours!! and you actually have to pay administration fees when you withdraw money after the operating hours!!!!!! atms are machines for goodness sake!! yes.. and it has caused me much pain when i realise that i run out of cash during the weekends. even 6 months on i'm still facing that trouble. singapore's too convenient. =_=

and yes phones here are freakingly expensive. unlike singapore where you have free phones if you sign on, here i think they have no idea what free phones are. there's only such thing as cheap. not free. and their cheap phones cost at least the equivalent of S$120. yay.

anyway i think this is too long an entry already... sorry i haven't had internet in my room for a long time haha.. and yes i was depressed the whole of last week and i'm so sorry for making you guys worry but i'm all happy now ^_^ so don't worry!! and i cleared up some stuff with my other singaporean friend here, so we're on pretty good terms now.... and i have realised that i'm extremely childish. so i shall attempt to grow up. haha..

love you guys lots and missing you millions ToT good luck to you women who are having exams ^_^ please please eat properly cause it's important that your brain gets enough nutrients dearies!! ^_^

love you lots -hugz-
