I arrived in Japan on 25 August...The blog doesn't seem complete if photos for these days are missing, so... Here they are...

 

  

25 August 2010 - I said good-bye to my family and friends in Singapore. It was really difficult to say goodbye. Terrible feeling and it lasted for a few days... I didn't enjoyed Tokyo at all and I badly need to call home. Tears rolled down when I'm alone. I miss Singapore so much!!! 我好想念他们！！！  26 August 2010 - This is the view I get from the Hotel room. Didn't walk around in Tokyo at all. Wasn't in the mood. 27 August 2010 - Welcome dinner @ a Japanese restaurant, had fresh sashimi, but I was a little too overwhelmed by the new place, SAIKI CITY... 28 August 2010 - Still trying to settle things in my apartment... But I'm glad it's a well-furnished apartment. I still miss my family and friends so much, and I can't listen to 五月天's songs cos they bring back so much good memories... Gambatte!  29 August 2010 - Sightseeing around Saiki, but it was raining cats and dogs for 2 days... I think I brought the rain...  30 August 2010 - I reported to school... excited and nervous... ALT 新任式 1 September 2010 - My little kitchen that has everything... 2 September 2010 - The English teachers had a welcome party form me at "Pizza Savoy". The Italian food was fantastic. The teachers were good company... 3 September 2010 - Had another round of dinner. This time it's at Ni Pa Chi, a Japanese restaurant with Yellie and Jerry. 4 September 2010 - Singaporeans in Saiki!!! I'm so glad to see Kiyomi and Pei Hoon. It feels so good to be with them. 5 September 2010 - My 1st Taiko performance by "TAO" and it will not be my last. They were fantastic! I really like 太鼓.   6 September 2010 - Random photo... Think I didn't take any photo on that day, so this is a photo I took on my way home one day. Nice sunset...Something I enjoyed everyday if I go home slightly later. 7 September 2010 - World Best Ramen!!! 8 September 2010 - The walk to Tsuruoka High School take about 30 mins, but it's scenic, with the padi field and railway track. People who walked pass me greeted me like I am their friend. Warm feeling... 9 September 2010 - One of the many meals my landlady Aso San cooked. She is a really warm lady who took good care of me. 10 September 2010 - My students Emi (on the left) made some Japanese food for me. It really made my day! The rest of the girla are students whom I met during Calligraphy Club - Megumi and Rika (who promised to bring me for baseball training). Chiharu is missing from the picture. 11 September 2010 - 1st train ride to Oita City on my own... Met up with Kiyomi and Sue Jean... Had a wonderful time with them... 12 September 2010 - We went for KTV Oita City... and there is 五月天's songs, but all MTVs are fake...   Finally... Updated all the days before 13 September....
