WEll that’s all i have in mind for now…so, let’s start with subject No.1

• Yup i have started my new life in Chuo University…Well, it was pretty rough at first i should say..the first day i stepped my foot in the University campus, I felt like “This is a world that I could never enter”…but as you know..I’m the kind of person who’s always laid back and go through life as it comes.  Like i always say in Japanese “Nantonaku daijoubu yo” which means “It’ll work out somehow”. I don’t like to worry myself so much actually but sometimes I do feel the need to in order not to cause trouble to others. Like, I am working in a Malaysian Restaurant right now so I’m trying my best to be of help to the workers there instead of a giving them more trouble. Well i’ll tell you more when we jump to subject No.2. Anyways, met lots of nice friends in Chuo. Not to mention my seniors have been very helpful by advising me on which subjects are good and what I should about the procedures and everything. How can I live without them..I’m so blur hahaha..I had no idea what’s happening, everything is in Japanese..and the to tell you the truth the guidance talk hasn’t been much help to me. Met a few Japanese friends as well. Terai Ryotaro,Youko and Nagi. Nice people..am really glad to have met them. Plus, my friend Youko speaks perfect Malay..hahaha let me tell you about my japanese friends..She’s doing her masters in Chuo under Humanity and Social science course…pretty and to my surprise speaks perfect Malay…you really should see how she writes when she sends me phone messages…she knows all the short forms and abbreviation that Malays always use…that’s really HARDCORE hahahaha! Terai Ryotaro a guy who was introduced to me by my other malaysian friend..If see my facebook you’ll realize that we went to see the hanami together..its been fun. A guy who loves Akihabara as much as me! Can draw well and is very patient talking to me although my japanese sucks. Nagi, a friend i met through Youko also a very graceful and nice girl. To me she looks very motherly. Ofcourse met lots of friends from China, Korea, Taiwan as well. I haven’t really sit down and check out on the subjects i would want to take but i’ll leave that to my senpais to help. I’m so glad i entered Chuo. Having senpais to help around rocks. Or else i don’t think i can manage to study and work part time at the same time. Economics seems like an interesting subject. I thought it would dead boring but it turns out to be very interesting especially when it comes to the Trading part. Love it! I am gonna try my best to get a scholarship too. Atleast it can help release the burden my parents are carrying for sending me here. Plus, I do have a sister who’s still in High school. She too will further her studies someday so it would be nice if i can help support her as well. So, I will work hard!!

• Let’s move on to subject No. 2. My part time job @ Malaychan. Malaychan is a restaurant located in West Ikebukuro. Serves good Malay and Chinese style cuisine. I’m working as a waitress there. To all the Muslims who are reading this..don’t worry it’s HALAL..hahaha..i got asked a lot so just thought that I should make it once and for all. I’ve been working since the last two weeks..i can’t exactly remember which day it was..anyways..two weeks and I still suck @ this job..I really feel sorry for my boss, Touki-san for causing him lots of trouble instead of helping him which it what i’m actually suppose to be doing..Although i apologize everytime i screw up he’ll just say “Its okay..u’re still new..newbies makes mistakes its normal..don’t worry too much abt it” it makes me feel more guilty for screwing up everytime…i really should write everything so that i won’t forget…as busy as i am i just have to find the time or i’ll have plenty of time to write it later when i got fired..no i don’t want that..I WANT TO WORK! Owh let me introduce you to my workmates or shall I say my bosses and senpais at work.

There’s Malaychan’s Mama..well she’s the one who describes herself as that..as the matter of fact we all call her MAMA…I never really know her Japanese name..all i know is that she named herself Fatimah…although i don’t think that’s her real name..she’s japanese..she must have a family name and a first name just like other japanese do…I think she’s the owner..i’m not sure but anyways she’s been like a real mom to me here in Japan..Living here alone in Japan with no family makes having Mama-chan feels like a very caring mom… really warm and motherly…Not to mention when she nags, God she sounds just like my mom..like a duplicate hahaha. She’s always worried about my eating habits “Eating once a day is not good for ur body you know..and people who never eats breakfast are doom to failure” or so she said.  Always worries about whether i’ll get to catch the last train home…and u know a whole lot of worries that a mom always worries about her child..I actually really appreciate her doing that..teaches me a lot!

Next in line we have the Restaurant Manager, Touki-san is what i normally call him..Full name : Touki Masashi Age: 27 Origin : Osaka Status: Single. Yea trust me he’s been teaching me lots of Kansai dialect..but he laughs everytime i imitate him..Ceh! He works with me in the Hall service department..To tell you the truth when I first met him..he was sitting at the cashier counter as he always do…the first thing that striked my mind was “owh he’s my arubaito pal I see I see”. What? he was sitting at the register counter for God’s sake…When i was working @ Jom Makan last time..the Restaurant Manager never does anything..only ordering ppl that’s what! And he’s young! Last time..in Jom Makan the restaurant manager was i don’t know 40? 50 years old? yeah around that age so hey you can’t blame me completely right? Well, I do blame myself for jumping to conclusions thou..I shouldn’t have done that! My bad..BAD FARAH ish ish! *Farah slaps herself* owh well, he was pretty pissed at me as if he just read my mind at the time he told me “I am the restaurant manager ok! NOT UR ARUBAITO pal! U got it?” hahaha i was so embarrased i could drown my head in hot boiling water! But well in the end he’s cool..he treats me like his sister..I really think of him as my big brother..i never have one so yea..really glad to have a big brother..more than that, a kansai origin brother how cool is that?! Touki-san eh..what shall I say about him..he likes to joke around and apparently he’s trying to learn english as much as he can from me…Ok well, his grammar is weak but God gracious he speaks perfect english foul language…Everytime we joke around he’ll say  “Go to hell” hahaha i don’t even know where the hell he learned that from! Anyways, he thinks of himself as Tom Cruise..Tom Cruise should sue him really hahahaha…OWH OWH! he writes a blog too..and he wrote about me..can u imagine he said my japanese level is bad!! He’s the one who speaks too fast..hello, not normal speed ok REALLY FAST! Not to mention the kansai dialect he sometime uses..but i’m trying to catch up with him..Check out the blog will ya..Coz u’ll be able to see the cute me if scroll down just a little bit..he had this column just about meh! Check it out : http://malaychan.exblog.jp/

Hmm honestly i’m a bit scared of him sometimes..he never shouts at me but i dunno probably coz i’m very aware of the boss and underlings relationship really well so i’ve always built a gap like a wall between us..i will never joke around when i’m with him unless he started it first and even if i replied to his jokes i’ll reply shortly and just get back straight to work…yup, uptight is the right word when i’m with him..but i guess that’s good..keeps me alert and keeps me work better in a sense! I wanna do my job perfectly so all is good i guess…Owh and he mentioned me to his friends too..he said i’m an amusing kid! Owh yes he calls me a KID haha i’m hardly one strictly speaking..turning 21 soon that’s hardly a kid ok! But anyways..I must WORK HARD so that i wont get scolded or fired! GANBARIMASU!

Next we have Pak Selamat or ppl at the restaurant call him Rabitto..sounds like Rabbit sometimes but owh well…he was the one who introduced me to Mama and that’s how i ended up working in Malaychan. He’s from Indonesia, Very fatherly and nice…he teaches me a lot too…especially menu names..i’m slow and he’s been very patient with me…anyways, many thanx to him that i got my hands on this job! Please treat me kindly from now on!

Next we have Wei! I think that’s how his name is pronounced. He’s a Malaysian Chinese who studies while working (like me) here in Japan..Age unknown but i think he’s older than me since he’s been here longer…Wei, he doesn’t talk much and he’s a really good worker…Excellent cook! I’m so embarrased that I can’t cook now..but Guy chefs are not an unusual thing these days so who cares? He too taught me a lot..ok, they ALL taught me a lot..I’m clumsy and blur most of the time…owh yea and slow too..but they all help me so i don’t feel so bad…Wei, he’s from Ipoh too same as me..well..he doesn’t talk much so i dunno much about him..who cares la..as long as we can work together fine! then it’s all good!

So that’s basically all about it! I really gotta work hard to be a good waitress! Ganbarimasu!

• Let’s move on to subject No. 3

Japan’s driver’s license..yerp i’m trying for it! Hopefully i can make it this time! Not that i plan to buy a car I just wanna drive actually…if i sit for the exam then i’ll get the chance to drive right? hehe yup that’s the main point..its kinda stupid i know but bahhh who cares..I do what I like! But I wonder if its hard..I suck @ parking…But I want the license! I gotta call the Driving School and ask first how much it’ll cost! I heard its cheaper if i already have a license from Malaysia..so, i hope its not more than 10000yen..pls!

I wanna continue my drum lessons…I MUST CONTINUE my drum lessons..it helps me release stress and feel happy…I wish i can get my old teacher Tokunaga Sensei he was really nice!! Plus he can speak English too for he has lived in Boston for 2 years…But i wonder if he was mad at me for stopping abruptly without telling him…Well, i gotta ask him..But to go to Shin-koiwa its too FAR! It’ll take atleast an hour to get there..well i guess i have to kiss Tokunaga Sensei goodbye then..Sayonara..Gotta find a nearer music school! I would like to try playing the TAIKO too..its a japanese traditional drum..pretty kewl! I do love playing TAIKO no TATSUJIN so why not try the real thing?!

What can I say about it..hmm KANJI SUCKS? hahaha well i really do feel so sometimes..i mean its cool if i can write it nicely and fast but it ain’t happening to meh…hahaha..but then..living in Japan..can’t help not learning it..or i’ll die..i need to memorize every kanji as much as possible..A.S.A.P…but i just haven’t started…as the matter of fact been busy working ain’t got the time to revise…this is bad..i really need to take a break from work..I came here to study anyways..not to work…God, thinking about this makes me hate working..especially when things didn’t really turned up good lately @ work..shit which reminds me i nid to take a glimpse at my subs..SHIT so many things to do and so lil time..i’m DEAD…anyways…Once i’m over with all this..i’ll start my kanji revision..or i’ll blow my brains out at the end of the day…GO KANJI!!

This shouldn’t be..I should only suck during the first week of work..and not through out my working days…no wonder Touki hates me..well, i dunno for sure..but i don’t think he finds me useful..i think he finds me annoying and unwanted..can’t blame nobody for that..i ain’t delivering..i am making things worse..shit i feel so fuckin useless right now u hev no idea..i hate this abt meh..i want to do things right..i don’t like losing but in this case winning is not an option either..i realize now..its not about being praised on the other hand its about helping others instead of creating trouble for them..they didn’t hire me for that..i don’t want to be paid and talked abt behind my back…one experience teaches all..my experience working @ jom makan is now haunting meh..I still feel mad @ Encik Akmal for badmouthing me behind my back but then again..is he really to be blame..even if he didn’t like me..if i deliver well…he wouldn’t have no shit to talk about meh…I don’t wanna receive salary over nothing…its like stealing..Touki says i’m always overworried about things..well, ofcoz i do..I WANNA DO IT RIGHT AND PERFECTLY!! Well anyways, i better write this schedule right after this..fever or no fever..Gosh..panadols!
