a yokohama chinatown buffet....

went out with Yuichi, Seigo and Boon today to Yokohama Chinatown....-.-" it was an experience.. we walked around a bit to look for a restaurant to have lunch... lookin out for tabehodai (buffets...) found 1 which had like 100 types of food but when we ask the lady coming out..she said that the food was '.... ok' so... we left... hee.. we found another restaurant which had a pretty nice looking buffet for like 2500 yen... it was expensive..but.. got dim sum, peking duck and normal ala carte food.. we went in....-.-"

well.. this is my first time having tabehodai with these people.. and it was really an experience... at first.. we just stuff ourselves... we reach the limit in around an hour.. well.. i and boon reached the limit.. they ordered more...-.-" it reached a point of time where if i eat anymore i will puke... so they did the most obvious thing... they order much more...-.-" i went to the toilet, came back... and viola.. they order beef with rice, spring rolls and such.... we were like... OMG... haaa... when it seems that we really cannot take it anymore (at this point of time, everyone including Yuichi and Seigo was like... painfully full...) Seigo ordered more dessert..-.-" apparently.. according to Boon.. this happens all the time with them... haa... so the end result.. a buffet (which was pretty nice.. the food) turned out to be a eerhmm.. experience..:D heee...

next.. we went to sing Karaoke.. haaa.. and it is always fun to do it with these people.. we ended the session with singing Matsukensamba! haaa.. it was SSOOOO FUN! hee... we danced, shaked our butts, sing and shout... haa... nice nice.. for those who can.. pls try to catch the mtv of matsukensamba.. the singer damn got 'se'.. haa....

dinner was in Shibuya... at a normal Teishyoku restaurant.. we spend more time chatting and stuff before heading back.. on my way back... i was 'hijacked' by this street performing band.. they were sooooo good... i just stood there listening.. in the end.. i paid 1500 yen for their cd... haaa.. but.. i like their performance a lot..:D heee... so.. din feel bad buying..:)

'oh shitz (pronounced SHA-ITZ) i never bring enuf money!'... well.. with the crazy last hospital bill...($450) the ($60) wont be of much help... so i went to withdraw another $150... went to the doctor.. talked all in Japanese (den i lamented at how bad my japanese was.. but..that's a complaint that u can refer to my many other posts >.<) den he said that i am alright now.. just tat... my eyes could be the problem.. so... will be good to go to the eye clinic. well.. i KNOW that my eyes got problem... bleh... heee.. anyway.. went to pay the bill... was ready to give the $150 bill when he said $3....-.-" bleh.... i was soooo relieved.... haa.. but.. as a result of the appointment.. i missed class.. maybe..not a bad idea..:P

an unevenful week..

bleh... well.. i was admitted into the hospital on wednesday nite.. after i experience severe vertigo during class... it was really horrid cos during class, i sort of start seeing the world turn round.. at first i tot it was becos i din have lunch so i pop a sweet into my mouth.. well... it wasnt it..:S i went out of the class thinking maybe it's the air... but..nope... the vertigo became a lot worse.. i couldnt walk straight and really felt horrid.. i feel as if i was drunk yet...i retain full control of my senses... thank God for friends like Carol, Shermaine and Benjamin.. seeing me in my state.. they brought me to the nearby clinic which i vommited quite a bit..-.-" well... the next thing we did... we called an ambulance and i was on to the nearby 国立国際医療センター...

there... i was dripped..argh.. and i tot i would never be dripped until i go back for reservist..:S heee.. anyway... the world continued spinning ar.. think at the rate it was spinning.. months have gone by in like minutes.... Carol was with me throughout..:) really thank God for providing me such a steadfast friend..:) well... once i started feeling better... we decided to take pictures..:P haaa... well... at that point of time, i was feeling better... days now goin by the minute..:) in the end, i went for a CT scan to make sure there's nothing wrong with my brain... then.. it was overnight in the hospital... i din wanna tell my parents cos i din want them to worried..:S so i called Jess and made her worried.. heee....

the next day.. my spinning sort of stopped.. was really relieved.... try having vertigo for like 3-4 hours.. it's really tiring.. sigh.... went for more checkups like xrays, den finally to the ear,throat specialists.... the end... they said that my balance mechanism in the ear was overly tired... oh well.... the second day, my host dad came to visit.. guess they were really worried to sia. oh well.... den my classmates, Tristan, Andrew and Yang-san came... with Carol of course... heee..... feeling much better... i paid my bills ($450 as a result of 70% off..) went back to school to settle adminstrative stuff.. den went to shinjuku with carol...o.O oops..

well.. den finally... today! i tot i was goin to school.. boy was i wrong... the vertigo struck in the morning when i woke up..decided to stay in bed den... try eating my medicine to see if it stops the vertigo but nope.... oh well... the vertigo lasted from 7 till 1... during which 10-1 i was half-asleep... couldnt really sleep though.. went down for breakfast and made everyone worried.. arghhh.... sigh.. i hope this vertigo is nothing serious.. i read websites that say normally it is not life-threatening..but still... it's hell-of-a-irritating.... arghhh.......

right now.. i am not feeling that good... not feeling vertigo-ish as well but any sudden movement of my head is BAD....arghh..... bleh... for those who wanna help.. pray for me ya?:S or can buy me lotsa presents!:P hee.. carol is exempted cos she has done alot for me liao...^^

あけましておめでとうございます！

well... 2005 is officially here in Japan... 2004 has been a year of disasters... the numerous earthquakes the wreck the world, the furious typhoons that ravaged the lands, the tsunamis that claimed ten of thousands.. and we shouldnt forget the war which has claim many innocent lives, the genocides in Dunfar... even though we are still trying to cope with the aftermath of such disasters.... it's also time to move forward.. it's no use to hold on so tightly to the past, since we can never change it.. but... what we can do is learn from our past and work towards the future... and it is with this hope that we move forward... things will be better if we let it be better... so are you people ready for a great year ahead? i know i am!
