Frustation...

All this while, you guys.... and gals of course, have been reading my happy little tale...full of wonders and happiness and evrything tastes sweet. Well, this time though, I'll do something which i've never done before....write something a lil' sour and bitter.

Life for me in Japan....no doubt have been a valley of sugar and honey, not to mention chicks with micro skirts. But....frankly, I've grown frustated and bored.

Why is that?

Well, First off...my classes. They have been teaching SPM level stuff ...not all but mostly. So, classes for me is just, well, i think you know how i feel. No fun at all learning stuff you already learned. And so, I've grown tired my classes, and end up hating studies. I kinda neglected studies totally. Recently, I had my mid term exam and WOO HOO...i failed 2 papers and the others weren't too good too. My lects were stump...asking me what happened as i used to be one of the top scorers in class (SPM level stuff...whaddaya expect??) , all i had to say was "Sorry yo...i messed up". I'm looking for something challenging to excite but seems that all they teach is just that old stuff.

The next thing is friends....hard to make friends here. But mostly the hard part comes from me, let's just say that our frequencies aren't the same...things that interest them don't interest me at all. Things that they chat amongst themselves ....how would i put it...dull?? All of them are card maniacs, they play card games of a few varieties....Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic The Gathering, Pokemon...yes, POKEMON, and some more others which i don't know the name of. And they all like that 4 player free for all fighting game by Playstation. Maybe I'm just an old man with a hunch and a walking stick in a kids' playground.
Hmm...and so I live my life here thinking of friends i had back in M'sia. Damn i miss you bunch of monkeys... i know that this is quite unhealthy ...no not quite, very unhealthy, not able to really open up....but i'm just having trouble blending in....hope I'll get used to it in this two years to come. Two years, phew....seems like a looong time.

And another woosy sissy complain is that....hey! why can I see the moon at 5 in the evening? Yup...the great LAND OF THE RISING SUN sets at 5. It gets very dark by 5.30. And guess what? if you mention sports, it means attending daily "training" for 3 hours plus....training as in running up and down the court, and bounce ball on one spot for the whole three hours....uh-huh, basketball club. There ain't any outdoor courts where you can play for "fun"....."fun" the one word that have no meaning when it comes to "training". Or maybe it's just me who's not calling it fun.

Sigh....and I'm even missing Chinese New Year. Hahaha...ha......haha.....sigh.................

Ya..what do you expect with a bunch of 17 year old kids? Its just that we have grown out of our age, thats all! Luckily for me, I mixed with so much childish ppl that I don`t have anby serious problems with friends yet...
Better buck upo on your studies...I didn`t do that well myself also la(no fails but some near misses) Anyway, if you plan to fail so you can go back to M`sia earlier, let me visit your kosen 1st b4 executing plan "Balik Kampung Express"! Thats all! Wanna know what plans u have for this coming winter hols!

thanks for revealing this bitter bit of ryugaku.. we've all been focusing so hard right now just to pass the monkasho exam.. but, it looks like its not a bed of roses there huh?

honestly speaking hor, ur entry kinda freaked me off.. cos like wat kelly said.. yeah, u like our role model there man.. no matter wat happens, i hope u can hang on tight..

ps:even if the classes are boring, perhaps u can study more 'challenging' stuff on ur own.. classes dont limit one's knowledge rite? gambatte!!
