Tokyo Institute of Technology







The place that i am gonna spend my next two years.

How to make a cup of Coffee in Tokyo

Coffee is essential! But how do you make a coffee without a water heater/kettle?

1)
Prepare materials

2)
Pour in coffee

3)
Hot water from tap (make sure it's switch to the 'hot-test' side)

4)
Stir

5)
Done

They claim that the tap water is clean enough to drink here, well, whatever they say is I'll have to believe now. Most important is I get my coffee every morning!

Food from home, was taken for granted when in home. Now a scarcity and luxurious to get a taste of home.

First day in Japan

*2 April 2008*
I arrived Narita airport at 7am. After lining up for passport stamp and custom clearence, I was off to the arrival hall. Saw bunch of people holding cardboard with names in it. Finally located my name, gesture me to the counter to check my route to my dorm. I was the only one from Malaysia heading to Tokyo International Exchange Center, Odaiba, kidda sad without any accompany, but the Japanese guy who helped me arranging transport was cute & good looking enough to let me forget my pain, he even said Selamat Sejahtera to me, I was in loved for that moment. *dreamming*

Express bus ticket cost me 2700 yen and 90 mins to reach my dorm. On the way, there are line of sakura trees and awesome architecture along the way. I was all excited to take pictures at first, but later, i somehow dozed off....



Met with my senpai, Koh Hashimoto in the Le Meridien Grand Pacific Hotel bus stop. Along with Swe from Myanmar and her senpai Mint from Thai. All four of us headed to Tiec which is 10 mins walking distance. All the paper work and check-in, took us whole morning! Lunch, sight seeing around Odaiba and some shopping in the 100yen shop. Bid farewell at around 5pm, finally time to unpack, saw the tidyly packed luggage by sis and zy, i missed home.

Front door & walk in cabinet


Kitchen, room and toilet buttons


Bathroom & prepaid utility and phone bill


The most annoying part is when i am trying to make my bed. There's so many layers which i cant differentiate which sheet goes with which layer.



After dinner with Swe and Oo in a foodcourt in Aqua City , I went straight to bed and dozed off immediately. Zzzz.. * Hybernate* Cant blame me, i barely slept on my flight.

Politic

Why they get so upset over the ASLI (Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute) report? I dun understand. What's wrong if the bumiputra equity ownership is really as high as 45%? or whether it reached 30% yet, or not even 20%? If the studies by Dr.Lim Teck Ghee is true, they should be celebrating the fact that they had already successful in “dominating” the economic pie but not simply make public statement to scold the poor Dr. Lim. So what’s next? Prove that 45% is an inaccurate number so that they can continue taking credit whatever they never work for it? Good! I have one suggestion, continue get amused by the word “marginalize” started by beloved Khairy Jamaluddin. The evil plan might really works to take over Penang-where the electronic industry is whatever’s left to support our "global" economic. After that, Khairy can openly be a “mat-rempit” in Penang in his Vroomm Vroomm with Maya Karin. Yippie! Happy Ending.


Next election is coming soon. I am definately voting for Nik Aziz who is planning on a secret mission to steal Donald Trump's new WTC blueprint. This idea sound way cooler than those people who fight for a known rotten pie.

I was on TV!

I was stuck in the salon for so long getting my hair done, suddenly a familiar face pop out in my mobile phone; it was Ru Yuan’s sms.

Kimmy Koh!!! Went to buy new clothes? U r on TV!!”

“Cant stop laughing! So happy to see you! My grandma said you talked so fast, what you talking about?”

“Now I am going to buy fish ball… bye! Haha, Happy =D Kimmy Koh was on TV!!”

GOSH!!!! That interview, I thought it would definitely be cut. Further Ru Yuan said it my chunk of face kept reappearing. I can’t imagine! Hihi, by all odds this kind of thing doesn't appear too often in my life and it certainly spice up my boring saturday afternoon a little!

Paparazzi-ed

Monday night, Sweety and I got invited to watch the premiere of Memoirs of Geisha, special credits to Allan who gave us the tickets. (Yippee! Sunny BoyZ champion stone[rocks]!) Reached there right on time, weird thing was we noticed many people holding those fantastic camera, me and Sweety thought, “Oh no! The paparazzi are here! Hide!” then we busy playing hide and seek among ourselves, fantasizing us being hunt by them. (Do not tell people that both of us are stepping into our 22year-old!) Ahem! Well, in the end, we did not escape them, poor Sweety got grabbed, “What do you think about the potential in stem cells in researches of helping the evolution of Scientology?" "Can you explain what is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?" *phew* -_-"And these are the pictures.



*Up*Down* Sweety in action of facing the paparazzi.



Anyway, it was kidda cool to find out that Jordan Chan was actually in the theater next to us watching his new movie with his fans, and off course it was cool too to realize that the camera “man” was actually a woman, and she was a kidda fashionable woman too, with the explosive hair and thick make-up as well.

Luckily we did not doze off during the movie, but almost. In the end of the show, we walked out, dizzy, but still trying to trace Jordan Chan. Too bad he was hiding in the male toilet, we shy shy to go in. Then head off to OUG Steven’s corner. It was awesome having Sweety’s companion that night, since she is a soon-to-be doctor, I take the chance to ask her many many many medical questions until she get annoyed. Off course got questions ask now lar, after she graduate she charge me money how? She described her experiences of watching the labor process, surgery and etc; Some ALL are chilling, spine-tingling thingy. Salute’ to Sweety! Soon, I‘ll be meeting her again, this time gonna list down a roll of questions for her till she shoo me away. Nyek Nyek!

Scariest Day

Yesterday I was lazing in front of the TV comfyly, looking at the clock, realized it was already 6pm, inside of me start to wonder where is my mom, thought she must be working overtime again, thinking later when she comes back, surely lament about the overload of cases she was having everyday.

Then the phone rang, I was even lazy to get it. However, still get my butt off, drag myself to the cordless, and bring it with me to the living room, so that the next phone call, i no need to get up. My lazy-bones.

It was my granny,

Granny: Where is your mummy?
Me: Not sure really, guess must be working late in the casualty. (It's the emergency room where my mom has to do portable X-Rays.)
Granny: Oh, she didn’t call back?
Me: No wo.
Granny: Now listen to me, you be calm all right?
Me: Oh, sure.
Granny: Your mom is in the casualty, but she is admitted.
Me: .......


Suddenly, I went speechless, I went blank, I felt like totally bonkers, even before hearing what was the matter with her.

Granny: Go see your mom now.

We hanged up; I called up my younger sister and told her about it. I could hear her voice panicked in the phone too. Then immediate, I ran to the hospital. I actually had forgotten that I should drive there.

Once I reached there, saw her talking to the doctor, and she saw me coming, smiled. She was okay; I was suddenly flooded with relief. I can’t put in words to describe me myself in that moment I saw her, but that easing feeling makes me drowned into tears. It turns out that her blood pressure was too high, and the doctor afraid that she was too nervous about it and further worsen her condition, so the doctor anesthetize her to sleep for two hours.

Luckily, it was nothing serious. Off course, later that night, that incident became the joke of the house, she called my granny and told her that I cried, and she laughed about it in front of my other sisters. Well, what to say, I am simply glad that this whole scary incident was later developed into merely a delighting dinner story to tell.

Narnia the so-called Magical World.


Do you ever feel like walking out the cinema half way the show is showing? For me, except for Polar Express, (but because it was a new experience for me, first time watching 3D in IMAX, so can omit that), Narnia would be the first one ever of all my movie-watching experiences.

Looking at the poster itself, it didn’t urge me enough to walk into the theater, and I couldn’t expect much from the film production company that produces Around the World in 80 Days either, but because the frequent trailer on TV and mainly because I couldn’t get the ticket to watch King Kong, so I still gave it a shot.

At first, I thought I was in the wrong cinema, the screen was showing a war scene for about ten minutes, and another mother-sending-children-off scene in the terminal for another 5 minutes, merely this 15 minutes enough to kill me to boredom. Need not to mention the part how they discover the wardrobe and the Narnia world behind it. "Hay, look! It’s snowing inside the wardrobe! Oo, it's freezing cold! Jingle bells, jingle bells! Oh I know, let's play hide-and-seek so that I could bluff all of you into the wardrobe! Nyek Nyek!”......... While watching till this part, I was constantly switching my sitting position due to my aching back.

The title itself, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe", it is understood that Narnia is hiding inside the Wardrobe. While the Witch is evil, domination of the Narnia world by casting an icy spell, “always winter and never Christmas!” So how about the Lion? Well, The Lion here is as tame as any herbivore could be. Its main tasks is to bluff the witch into believing his death (by having a dreadfully long meeting in the tent, walking up the stairs in slow-mo, and not forgetting to let the devils shave him before death) and to sigh the creatures that the witch frozen back to life again, ONE BY ONE. I assume that only the lion has the ability to "sigh" them to life, I must admit that this lion is truly long-winded! Bravo!

As for the Son-of-Adam, and Daughter-of-Eve, they just don't look heroic enough. When one of the Daughter-of-Eve first entered Narnia, she was amazed, "Impossible!", and second time is when... (Hmmph, can’t remember, when she saw the lion?) Anyway, "Impossible!" Is it that pathetic that there's no more English word to express surprise? They could simply use "Holy shit!", "What the Hell?", "F*ck!” to replace the vocab. Sorry for being rude.

Well, I guess I should say that this "always winter and never Christmas" is just not my cup of tea, or even my cup of coffee, juice, water, and what-so-ever.
