Getting drunk with the flowers...

Once again, the all famous sakura trees...

And along with the flowers, we have the season-limited sakura sake!!! Sweet tasting and very nice fragrance..

The shoes with colourful laces are mine...

When it comes to Japanese, they all will have a picnic, which they call hanami or flower viewing. Hanami in University is usually accompanied with booze and barbecue!!

It's all food and fun...and everyone does this. Hanami among lab members, among club members, among Malaysians(no booze in this one), among foreign students, among....and the list goes on.

I can be considered to quite active around uni...joining various groups and clubs. And that means many hanami sessions, so I'm practically drunk every night and wakes up with a hangover-special headache for the pass week.

Ahh....a few lecturers called me over to join them for drinks. I don't really know them, but then again that's the joy of being a foreign student...you get invited everywhere. I drank so much I could hardly walk straight and had to ask a friend of mine send me back.

I enjoyed the flowers on the first two days...but after that, I somehow forgotten that the flowers were there and just concentrated on getting drunk...haha

Man's greatest invention is definitely liquor.
