    最期日本語のクラス。。。

    Yep, as mentioned above, it was my last japanese class today ....
    Today Nagami 先生 went free style and let us do "Self Learning"...
    Made a little "game" to play with friends and also brought in some books from outside.
    Had a little corner for "listening comprehension" as well..
    In addition to that, he brought in yukatas and let anyone who wanted to try them on, to try them on .. lol ..
    I realised then that the ladies REALLY take a much longer time to put on their yukatas cause they really have A LOT more stuff to put on than the guys one..
    Admittedly, ii ne, You did look pretty good in a yukata .. haha..
    REMEMBER THAT ... Dont say i never said a good thing about you .. hahaha...

    Anyhow, I think that Japanese this semester got really much harder but it was really equally enjoyable.
    It was pretty much the "highlight of the week" every single week.
    Its also one of the only subjects that I can remember myself complaining about so much homework, but still enjoy it.
    In contrast, whenever i think about my other engin subjects, all I can think of is how much i dont understand and i how much work i have undone... Gosh ... And of course, not forgetting how much lectures i need to watch to learn up the stuff..

    As I was revising with Mg for our oral exam tomorrow, we went through all the different conversations and skits that we did with other people through the course ( I wasnt in the same tutorial class with her) and really funny memories will keep coming back at every conversation.
    たとえば。。。Fuzaifa san was really the vocab list of the class!! We always turned to him automatically when we needed to find the right word .. haha..
    His expression everytime was always priceless as well.. Really funny guy..
    Of course theres the skits, which Yu An acted as "L" in , she REALLY looked like him, and all the skits were really good, I think I really enjoyed my TB this year quite a lot as well, Just like last year, always full of crazy people haha..

    Of course there TC where the 4 or 5 of us are always having fun and playing around. Think the most recent time was when IINE told teacher to hold a party at my house... -_-"" of course i said it was too small and we should hold it at HER house... Which she said was too FAR and said to hold it at CHONG sans house ... which he said was too inconvinient and to hold it at ............. You get the idea .. haha... Cracks me up everytime i think about it...
    Of course theres the time when we saw hamasaki sensei and forced iine to say hi to him ...
    And the couple of times i came to school early for TB only to find out that I was early by about an hour or so ?? haha ok .... too many other times to recount, but this sem was really quite a party thanks to Jap and the new people i keep meeting, たとえば : KAMERA, Yi Si ( iine whats his nickname ah ? ) Han san, "L" , Fuzaifa .... etc etc....

    All this excitement really makes it quite sad to realize that next sem, and possibly the sem after that, I probably cant take japanese 3. I Have 6 mods to fufill next semester and i really cant take anymore than that, 5 mods is already too much for me and I still have my university level requirement of critical thinking and another mod to take...
    Man, just like KAMERA said, I think most of us never really completely "Gets used" to NUS life..
    Esp engineering students... Thankfully for Samuel, he wont have to deal with 6 mods, electrical engin doesnt really suffer from that..
    Hence, it really sadens me to think that I wont be fighting with IINE and Kamera and messing around with Chong san and his "best friend" every tuesday/friday again....
    Hopefully, if all goes well, I can apply for a summer exchange program to Japan next year for an exchange with one of the universities....
    THAT is my biggest goal for 2nd year, and of course, anyone else interested in a summer exchange in japan let me know as well !!Maybe we could do try and worm our way into a "Summer (Holiday) exchange program" :) IIne maybe you can plan your grad trip there as well!!
    To Samuel : NO PRIOR JAPANESE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED, Could be helpful though... but some of the summer courses are in english and thus you shouldnt really need english all the time..

    Anyhow, I think i didnt really take sufficient pictures today, but i wil try and post them up by tomorrow and of course, WITH a CERTAIN video .... :P
    But i gotta add subtitles to the video first though, otherwise it wont make much sense to a lot of peeps..
    Yep, guess after tomorrows oral, it will be the absolute end to my Japanese life in NUS...At least for a year... :( .. Anyone want to take lessons outside???

    Once again .. back to my weBLASTed lectures and prep for Jap oral and my FINAL computing lab tomorrow( think its my 2nd most enjoyed module this sem)....
