2009-07-05T18:59:19Z

I'm back! Brain frizzled from 14+ hour

Its weird to be back in the UK, seems like i have only been away for two weeks or something hehe

But soooo tired, its 2am in HK so feeling the tireness....

Its over!

2009-06-20T22:04:59Z

Wah last night was fun at my leaving/welcoming party!

We ate naki niku, hmmmmm nice bbq meat! But the smoke was getting into everyone eyes!

Took some good pics aswell of my students, going to miss them! Also my last pay check was O_____o if this wasn't Japan i'll probably hide the money in my bra or something all the time.

Also i tried to keep my lugguge light but it gotten heavy again yesterday.....got like three sakes from two of my students! The big shock as well is that i met up with a ex-students on thursday and she handed me a present, well i thought it would be something small traditional gift or something but......it turned out to be 30gb ipod?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I was like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFBBQ!!!!!!!!!

Here until the 30th now then onto HK.

I'm up insanely early (7am) to speak to my bro but he text me he will be late grrrrrr!

Back at the beginning of my journey....

2009-06-17T14:43:24Z

I moved out of my apartment today ;( so that the teacher taking over from me can settle in.

I'm back in the hotel that i was in the beginning of my year in Japan. Only three days to go! The past two nights have been severely sleep deprived to clean and pack!

This time i don't whether they done up the hotel but i'm in a much nicer room :D

I have too much stuff :(

I can't wait to see everyone again!

One simple thing to say.....

2009-01-21T13:21:00Z

I'm coming back to the UK!

I'll thought i'll tell everyone in one post, peeps have been asking me this past week for a strange reason.

I did get a renewal letter when i came back to work after the winter vacation *wipes forehead* one teacher doesn't seem to have received a letter in my training group....

I've decided to go back to uni and do another undergrad course: Chinese and Japanese! Fingers crossed! It was all rushing around with my UCAS application and i did it before the deadline! Now to wait and see *fingers crossed* I hope i get it at manchester uni! The only thing i worry is the cost....

I'm not sure when i'll be back in the UK, My contract finishes on the 20th June, so i could head straight back to the UK or go somewhere in Asia before i return.

But i definitely want to be back before my bday! hehe

Can't wait to see everyone! Miss you guys!

2008-10-08T23:58:24Z

A little update from me, to be honest i haven't been doing much these past few weeks except i went to my first baseball game! I saw the Nagoya Dragons which their main mascot is a Koala, i was very confused when i first got here about the mascot but someone told me the reason now why they have a koala as a mascot. They actually got three, two dragons but Koala is the main one.

Besides that i have been in Nagoya, drinking and one bout of all night kareoke haven't explored much, in September there was a three day weekend but i had no money and stayed in Nagoya :(

Hopefully this month i will try to go somewhere as i should be taking this time to explore. But i end up having weekends where i just stay in the apartment both days.

These past few days i have been thinking about what i should do when i come back to the UK. Going to Japan was to escape from my mum, just had a webcam chat and she seems to have given up on me on what i should do.

I was thinking of taking chinese and Japanese, its a four year course but i'm not sure that if i do this course what would come out of it? Also i haven't even started paying off my student loan and i would have to pay for the fees for this time around right? *sigh* Also getting into those courses seem quite high and my grades don't match but i didn't match getting into Law. I could take one of the languages?

any advice?

Probably one of the greatest archievement.....

2008-09-02T13:38:40Z

Yesterday i did something that i think i will never do again in my life of that sort unless i sort out my fitness level....

Ladies and Gentleman, yesterday i scaled Mount Fuji!!!

The eighth tallest mountain in the world!!!!!!

I was the slowest one of the group of course, we started to scale the mountain at about 7:30pm, it was already dark. We first travelled together, but as i was the slowest one, i needed to have breaks more often, then i said just go don't need to wait me...and they did. I didn't mind as i told them but as i think about it more....i was walking on my own in the dark..... I could have fallen off without anyone knowing...They wanted to get to the submit to see the sunrise. In a sense i wanted to go at my pace as i was mega slow due to my fitness, they did reach the submit to watch the sunrise while i was halfway up from the last station to the top, i saw it which was my main concern. Also i felt abit of a third wheel, there were five of us and the other four were couples, so i felt abit not really part of the group.

At night it was such the most beautiful sight i had seen, i could see all the stars, couldn't take a good picture with my camera phone.

Sunrise was pretty aswell!

Hated the decend, one of guys stayed with me and pushed me to keep going, it took us 3 hours to get back down, while it took about 9-10 hours to get to the top! It was covered with some form of ash and it make going down very difficult as you slipped and our shoes were full of the stuff as it was very deep!

We were all sleep derived and i think some of them were annoyed at me for taking my time to get back down from the submit to the last station before the top. Which i was annoyed as one had a dig about it and mentioned it to a stranger about something they weren't pleased about and i was really close to snap and say something. But i kept quiet to not stir anything in this state we were in.

So in a sense i was yeah i did it! But in another sense i was thinking why? Why did i do it? Especially that i am in pain, my whole back is in pain today.... and the biggest pain is at the bottom of my spine, so when i bend or try to sit i get sharp pains.

I was super equiped tho! One student did mount fuji last month and he lent me his gear, so had proper backpack, raincoat and sticks.

Will put pictures up when i am recovered hehe

When i was at the top i ended up getting a keyring which i got the date of when i scaled the mountain, a great archievement for me!

one advice.....

2008-08-26T13:10:17Z

Don't go on a rollercoaster when its raining!!!!!!!!!!!

IT FRICKIN' HURTS!!!!!

Yesterday went to Nagashima Spaland which is a nicer and cleaner version of Blackpool minus any beaches....and no scallys.

Their biggest ride there is a copy of The Big One but so much longer!!

Three times i rode that and both times it started to rain and speed plus rain equals like pins on your face and arms, painful!

Still very tired and getting lazier and lazier...

one more time, one more chance...

2008-08-24T07:03:16Z

I am turning into an alcoholic hehe, i always feel that i have to buy some alcohol after work on a saturday to welcome my weekend, lonesome drinking *sigh neeee*

I ended up watching A Chain of Short Stories about their Distance, i think it was shown at NanimeW a few months ago, i can see its not the most exciting film to watch compared to all of the other films this director has done which were sci-fi based. But is so like reality, got the main theme tune on repeat, it so beautiful and sad.... the ending of the film was like WTF!!! Thats it?!?!?! But when i thought about it, its reflects life.

You go thru life where you meet people and then slowly you drift apart and it gets to the point where you think its akward to contact them again after so long that you haven't spoken to each other....

That has happened to me to people that i have met in my life but i think about it now and i think i am in a great place with my friends and the people that i really care about. Even thought i am on the other side of the world at the moment, tho i wished there are people that i haven't made much effort, sorry to those people. But i do think that around my age, there is so many things that people drift apart, moving to a new place, jobs, marriage, babies etc.

I missed my friend from high school wedding whilst i have been here and I think it will be weird when Henna gets married, it would probably be in the next few years, wahhhh i have been best friends with her for over 10 years and even though her lifestyle is so much different to mine we have hardly any arguements or fallout at all.

Can anyone recommend any good japanese films to watch? I would probably be staying in alot this month due to the fact that i know i will be poor, still thinking of whether to join a japanese class as new term is starting in september, can be expensive and it would be good for me as i know that i am too lazy to self teach myself.

Sorry if the post is abit emoish hehe, right! Need to get myself out of the apartment and walk around for a bit as i am too lazy to go into the city centre given the fact its 4pm over here now.

But i am going to a theme park tomorrow!!! wooo another reason why i'll be poor hehe.

obon

2008-08-17T10:39:08Z

i think this week of obon i think i have achieved abit. Went out of Nagoya and travelled to Kyoto. It took about two hours and abit to get there on local trains, but due to our poor status, it would only take 40mins on the bullet train.

Alot of historic things to see, we didn't have the time to see it all but i have been told to visit Kyoto in every season as its beautiful in every season. Trip hampered by the fact of my insect bites which i decided to self medicated myself, it seems to be healing woooo! I ended up not doing anything for two days, i just stayed in and became a bum. Which helped the healing process i think. The other guys went to watch the Dark Knight so i need to go along to see that at one point, either on my own or with others who haven't seen it.

Friday i got invited to a bbq, It was out in the countryside and had to drive there. Had to get up really early and meet people at 7am!!! It was fun and alot of tasty food was eaten, Vegtables were eaten! Also yakisoba was made! There was a river which we played in and splashed about!

Yesterday we decided to go to a club, it was abit pricey after 9pm, about £10 with discount but you had 4 drinks free. One person drank too much and had to be dragged out of the club by us. We decided to retreat to a kareoke place and did all night kareoke! I feel so shattered from it at this moment of time as i didn't even nod off, i just kept singing!

today staying in and saving money, Have cleaned the apartment from the several days of beening a bum. Don't have much money left and the next pay packet will be small aswell, due to the fact that they will take two months of rent out ¬_¬

Might do something tomorrow and then the day after back to work! This holiday has been long, But can't wait til the december holidays!

Waiting for rice to boil to make my first proper meal of the day given the fact that it is nearly 8pm here.

ok maybe i should see the doctor....

2008-08-12T17:09:28Z

came back from Kyoto today, been there since sunday. had much fun but hindered by the fact that on the first day, we walked into a little shrine and i think this was where i got bitten.

I think i have come to the conclusion that i am allergic to whatever bit me.

Monday was when i noticed the bites and developed in to the usual water blisters that i am used to seeing...

At this point of time, my left upper leg has swollen up with a massive red area which seems to be spreading the other bites have deep red circles around them. Also having tingling pain every so often

I thought i would be fine and the other guys kept saying to me you better see a doctor....so now i better see one esp when i have scared myself looking up systoms of my bites, it seems that i do have a severe allergy to what ever as bitten me but i have been naughty and itching away which may have caused an infection or it could be lyme diease....

but i hope just a course of antibiotics will do the job from what i read on NHS direct.

I'm really scared that its ticks or something and they are still in me. as from the fact that only my legs were bitten it seem to be jumping bugs of some sort.

just freaked out, scared and misrable on how my legs look like....i never get this from the uk.....

P.s it was soooooo nice to hear from you guys at amecon when i was making my way to kyoto, i couldn't speak well as i shouldn't be speaking on the phone on the train. HEY HEY HEY!!!!!!

I am a teacher!

2008-07-13T02:47:50Z

I've got the free internet! woo wooo!
It still feel weird when i am called Judy sensei, that name sounds like for a kung fu master or something hehe.

Well its been two weeks now since i have arrived in Japan.

Training was good, there was 8 of us, 6 americans, one australian and me! The australian keeps calling me a 'pom'.

As i said i moved into my apartment on wednesday, its about 40mins to get to Nagoya as its in Nisshin City. My apartment is quite small but it reminds me of my student place that i lived in my second year of uni. Its got the one loft thing that i had so i could sleep at the top.

i have only one room which is my bedroom/living room/dining room. I have a really small kitchen. Its has only one electric hob so its takes some time to cook. But its probably more cheaper to buy a bento from the convenience store. Its so cheap! Vegetables and fruit is quite expensive here in Japan.

Thursday was my first day at the branch, all i did that day was observe the teacher that i was replacing, taught one lesson on friday and yesterday was my first day i fully taught all the lessons. I keep my little mistakes like forgetting to do something like set up the task or tell the students vocabulary words.

I mess up a lesson that was a higher level textbook, i did not know what the heck i was doing! I will improve...i hope! I do think i have abit of pressure tho as the outgoing teacher is such a good teacher who worked for two years at this school and has built such a rapport with the students and everyone.

We had a welcome/goodbye party last night. I couldn't drink much as after i got there, drank abit got a headache so didn't really want to drink. Tried to talk to everyone, i've already got one request from someone to buy a manchester united kit for them, he wants two hehe.

Didn't get much chance to eat as i was busy talking to everyone, it was hard to explain to people some of the anime that we watch, of course the easy ones are like Naruto, Bleach and One Piece but with one group i couldnt explain Ghost in the Shell, i promised that group that i will find out what it is in japanese and tell them.

I had to do a speech and i did not know what to say... i don't think it made sense as i mentioned about let's work together to better your english?!?!?!?! That does not make sense!!!! when the outgoing teacher had her speech she ended up crying and it was an awww moment. Its funny that her and the other foreign teacher has this Katamari Damacy song, where one would do the song and the other one the harmony, its really good!

I haven't got a mobile phone yet, i need to wait for my alien registeration card. Hopefully will get that on the 23rd. Its quite expensive
and confusing on how the phone plans work. Some of the guys wanted this top range phone with TV but it will be very expensive!

The new Studio Ghibli film is coming out next week! I would want to watch it but i wouldn't be able to understand it also there is the new Hana Yori Dango film out!

Today probably meeting some of the other teachers, apparently there is an all you and eat and drink for 3,000 yen! sounds good!

Oh yeah one more thing, everyone thinks that i am japanese...all the students don't realise i am the new teacher and think i am a new staff member or something. I've had to explain this nearly everytime i meet a new student. hehe

can't believe the time that has passed

2008-07-08T23:33:35Z

Wah, its my last day at the hotel! done all the initial training! *pat myself on the back* It was fun on monday learning all the songs you have to sing for children up to 6 years old, we had to do part of a demo lesson on tuesday and it was hard as the trainer pretended to play with stuff and i didn't know whether you could scold them or not. We have these songs in our heads now XD

I move into my apartment today which i'm looking forward to finally settled in, some of the guys have new apartments from this particular letting company which allows them free internet. I doubt i have that but fingers crossed! If not i would probably wait for about a month or more to connect as the trainer suggested to get Yahoo BB which is good and cheap.

From what i heard, our apartments will be quite small, but i have a loft that i could go into and sleep in. Its not a loft where it is in the ceiling, its like a space in the wall where you could sleep. But as i said everyone is welcomed to come along and stay and have free board.

Well hopefully will have the free internet, if not then just to have to find a internet cafe to keep in touch

Hope everyone is good!

Oh yeah one thing is that i have to teach american english so i have pronouce certain words in american intonation like Tomato! -____-

intense!

2008-07-03T01:30:07Z

Just a quick post to say konnichiwa!

Very intense my training especially today, it will be the first time i teach in front of proper students! Yesterday we did a demo run in front of the other guys in training and today some students have volunteered to have a free lesson so we can practice, SCARY!

So haven't had much time to mooch, only in the first few days when my body clock was so out of balance and i kept waking up at 5am, safe to say i can sleep now, pretty well. Like get into room, lie on bed and end up falling asleep, i'm that tired XD. We start work at 12pm and finish at 9pm

Also internet at hotel has been dodgy

Properly update on sunday, my day off! Can't wait for it! *sigh*

dubai!

2008-06-27T22:31:41Z

woo hoot, wifi of some sort here at the airport. its about 2:30am here, i'm kinda chuffed that i got hook on here. quick post as i should be boarding soonish. Onwards to Japan! 9hrs flight :( but emirates have good entertainment system, watched two films, alvins and the chickmunks and horton hears a who, watched flight of the concordes aswell.

sorry for the spelling and grammer, brain fuzzed with 7hr flight

Meh last post from the UK :(

2008-06-26T23:50:55Z

*chinese sigh*

I can't believe this day has come, i'm getting teary as i am writing this. I know i am going to cry at the airport today. The feeling i am experiencing is dread and fear at this moment. I just worried that i won't be able to do the job, i'm not going to get on with people, etc, the normal things you could say that people would go thru at this moment of time. When i got a final phonecall from the recruiting office that has helped me since the interview, i was thinking in my mind, i don't want to go, i don't want to go! But its something that i have been wanting to do forever, even though i don't know any japanese...

I'm my typical self that i have left everything to the last min, kinda finished packing but trying to pack a years worth of stuff within 20kg is hard. I'm abit over and hope the person at the check in desk will be lenient or its not that expensive to charge. I had my friends helping me pack and I'm grateful for them. I'm going to miss you all guys, you take care of yourself and email me or something. Free board at my place, need to find out how big the place is as it could be a tiny room or something but i'm like two hours away from Toyko.

Not sure when i will have the internet again, hopefully the hotel that i am staying in for the first week and abit for my training first will have wifi, got myself a swish laptop which weights abit given its 17". Email me if you want, email address is aka_anime_jj@hotmail.com.

The first thing that i am going to buy is Utada's album Heart Station!

At one point i need to post what has happened recently, with holidays and stuff, whenever i am not beening lazy :D

Confused

2008-05-27T22:41:11Z

I'll thought i'll go for some advice with you guys:

I'm going down to London on 09/06 to sort out my Visa at the London Embassy, due to the fact that i have finished work and i don't really trust the postal system, i'm going to be staying down there at Fiona's and then going to collect the Visa.

But my problem is what does it mean by three working days?

I'm all in a twist because i am trying to book myself coming back from London.

If i submit the Visa on Monday, would the Visa be ready by thursday or friday?

BIG BIG UPDATE!

2008-04-09T20:51:19Z

Okay, i feel really surreal whilst i type this....

Well, some people may know that i went to an interview with AEON with Zuber in February and just like to say...

*whispers* i got the job and going to Japan!

They want me to start at the end of June so not really long to go and i haven't started anything... i'm half scared and also excited. I'm going to end up being the headless chicken running around and do everything last minute, i know i will... I'll be sad as i won't be able to celebrate my birthday here :( going to spend some moolahs and get myself a laptop so that i can be connected to the net still hopefully.

I known about this for a few weeks but didn't know when to tell as telling seems to confirm it...and its scary. Also its abit in the air, i haven't booked my flights and i need to wait to apply for work visa two weeks before i go. WAH!

In other news had a really nice pampered weekend! Had a really great time! :)

Need to find my head and stop being a headless chicken....

2008-03-07T16:19:59Z

Man, i feel that i'm always running around everywhere trying to do or get something, take for example laser quest last night which i am in pain because of all the crouching around even though it one of the rules of the don'ts on that 90's made video we saw. Meh legs! Meh poor legs!

I'm proud on my highest rank i got: 15th!

Was late a few minutes which ended up me running from the car park in to the Orient to the cinema.

I really need to be origanised. Well at least start after the cosplay party, as i haven't started to make my costume....

So tired as well, abit run down.

WAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWASAWEHHHHHHHHHHHWHHHHHHHHHH

My screaming in cybernet. But it would be nice to scream on top of a mountain.... to let it all out

It's all so quiet...

2008-02-29T03:17:15Z

So going to regret this in the morning, 3 am is always the time i wake up if i have gone to sleep suddenly without doing the beddy things like brush your teeth.

First time in a long time where i have fallen asleep with my contacts in...ahhh the good times

Night as such a different silence then during the day...

3 hours and abit til i should wake up for work.....

Within 10 working days... twiddle thumbs

2008-02-27T22:13:26Z

Most of weekend spent on my own in the big city of london but major points to note:

-This trip i have been on train, bus, tube and plane... didn't go on boat
-First time i have spent with Zoobear sober....for both of us
-Bonus beening on my own, getting myself a ticket to see The First Emperor at British muesum when tickets sold out for the day!
-If i didn't have my mp3 and DS i would have died from boardom on the amount of time i spent on the tube and public transport.
-Treating myself to a krispy kreme after the interview when i immediately saw the shop off tube stop. HHHMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm Apple crumble
-Nice spending time with Fiona
-What is the difference between the usage of the word of 'hope to' and 'want to'
-How do you describe the meaning of the word of 'sensible' and 'sensitive'

i look like a ghost...

2008-01-17T22:29:11Z

ahhhhh, feel so 'laxed listening to my favourite piece of classic music: Pachelbel Canon in D Major which second piece

and i checked my mailbox and received this:

Well....when i got my haircut about september and the guy who did my hair wanted to take my picture of my finished look, so there was me standing outside with the guy who owes the place Denny taking my picture and one of the assistances holding one of those light reflecting things. The weirder thing is, some random who had a camera walking about started to take my picture aswell...

I think Denny going put a picture of this in his salon...also the picture on their website...

Hopefully this will make it as a post, as i have started a few posts then about halfway thru it i would just be like 'i can't be bothered with this' and then exit out of it.

Also can't be bothered to lj cut, you know me, i've forgot how to do it and can't be arsed to do it anyways, its not that difficult to scroll down with the mouse! Its good exercise for your finger!

I think this also gives me permission for me to do something to distract myself from doing what i should be doing, hehe

But let's see, i haven't updated for quite a while, life is treating me okay at the mo, in general everything is good. :) *touches wood* Keeping myself busy and enjoying it which is great, reading Cin's post reminds me of people i was really close with a few years back and now i don't know what the heck they are up to. Also some people who looking back were not my friends at all and used me :( blah!

I was burning the candle on both sides about two week ago. It started from the 31st october and i didn't have a night to myself for a week and abit, i was feeling the strain, but after a night to myself i was fine again!

Highlights of that week includes me going to Alton Towers! Went with Chris and had a really good time! It was really fun and there was hardly no queues on the rides, also the first time i have been in the winter and it didn't close til 9pm. Slighly scary driving back at night on country lanes as i'm a city gal and blinding drivers on the other side when i sometimes to forget to swtich off the full beam. It was a fine day not like cold like it is now! Did feel abit sick when i went on the Oblivion three times in a row!

Halloween Party! The crazy pictures i have seen on facebook scare me that i act like that when i'm drunk! :P But it was the usual great fun that comes with MUJS parties.

At the mo in the middle of tidying up my bedroom, a very slow process as i'm busy and i have just tooooo much stuff! I'm throwing alot of stuff that i didn't feel i could throw away before, stuff from my childhood and bday cards from people. I'm just a hoarder of stuff like that. But i can finally let go of things, well some stuff i can't throw for example my chinese school report card where i was in sixth position in my class at the end of the year exams, damn proud of that because i was generally rubbish at Chinese at school. Only took an effort in my chinese studies at GCSE where i got a B, higher qualification than my bro as he did not take his GCSE but his Chinese is better than mine.

Well thats it, don't know when i'll update again, but its nice to read other people's lj as some of the f-list i hardly see and its nice to read what your up to! Cheerio!

Goodbye Summer...

Just chomping away on strawberries and cream....EEEMMMMMMMM and been headbutted by bro from his frustration over a game he is playing on XBox 360 /(^___^)" just reminded me that we are coming to the end of Summer, boooooo, its getting darker and colder, but that was like through out summer anyways. Mum and bro are both ill so i'm surrounding by germs. My three straight weekends away have been great, i might upload pictures on Facebook in a moment instead of doing important things like getting my deposit back from Drake and Co and looking at the application to Nova which i hope they don't fold! *fingers crosses, touch wood*

eugh......

I must have got ill from the combination of lack of sleep from Friday night, from drinking Vodka and whisky. Woke up the next morning thinking how did i get to bed? XD Before my memory blanked out we did managed to play Simpson Scrabble!

Its been soo long that i have let my hair down as i normally drive alot. Worked out that roughly we went to bed about 3amish from texts that i last sent on the phone that i had no memory of doing.... Had to wake up for breakfast at 8am. :(

Then we walked alot on saturday, taking in the sights plus lack of sleep made me ill :( Yesterday visited a friend who i haven't seen for ages, since she had her kid and seeing her daughter now compared the last time i saw her when she was only a baby, running around, so cute! It was abit of a reunion, as another friend that i haven't seen for years had came with her twin babies that were only two months old and SO SO SO SO cute!

When she had to go we all had to help her take her stuff down and her twins down to the car i didn't have my jacket and only had this short sleeve jumper on so that must not have helped.

Been sneezing all day and feeling so out of it. This reflected on my timesheet that i only did 25 items of work, should be hittng about 40 odd items a day...

But i can't wait for London this weekend...going to be super!

Whenever i am not lazy will post the pics i took on facebook.

Going to retreat back to bed and sleep....Hopefully my body will recover soon, hate having this sleepy feeling
