EARTHQUAKES!!! -.-"

well.... the highlight of the day was supposed to be outing with Yilin.. until i reached home that is... my host father was like asking me did i feel the earthquake while in the train and i was like 'huh?' well... he said apparently there was an earthquake before i reached home and logically speaking, would mean that i was in the train... i was like 'err... nope... din feel a thing...' den i went back to my room, sat down and there it was.... another earthquake.. well.... basically, with big earthquakes, there is the major quake and the several minor ones... guess the one i felt and the subsequent ones were the minor ones.. today's earthquake was centralized at Nagaouka, west of Tokyo, measuring at a high 6 on the Ritcher Scale... it was bad.. people were injured and at least 1 was killed by a falling wall.. think tsunamis a.k.a giant waves that will bring sharks to u (kidding bout the sharks.. -.-") were created since Nagaouka was a coastal province... oh well... guess we will have more of it in the news... however, one of the things which struck me was that our previous Japanese lecturer from NUS, Goh Jun Hai sensei, was teaching at a city in Nagaouka province! i hope he is ok... thinking of sending him an email.... oh well... dunno wat's with this year, earthquakes, typhoons... scary... hmmm.. think there was volcanic activity when i first arrived too.. hmm...

well... now... to the shoved-over highlight.. i went out with Yilin today! so fun!! so glad to see her and we had a great time.. at least... i did... haa... piangz... got chiobu beside me of course great time lar... haaa. anyway... we met at Ueno, walked around Ayameyokocho den had kaiten sushi for lunch... we den left for Akihabara, the electric town, and i did shopping... argh.. accessories for my little baby mac... hee... err... i din spent THAT much lar... which reminds me that i have like 30k yen left for one month.. scary... anyway... after the tiring afternoon of walking, we stopped at Exclesior Cafe and had (duh...) coffee... hee.... well... she had cocoa i had coffee but cocoa or coffee.. both the same..starts with co... o.O

Really getting very serious..wonder why all the natural disasters are striking..Kinda sad, knowing what is happening there. Was kinda worried about you all too. Glad all of you over there are alright. Hope Goh-sensei is too. You guys be careful, ya? and Take care of yourselves!
