Week #12

Finally! The first submission for FYP was over. I am feeling a bit more relaxing now. I was hardly taking any nice sleep last week and my eyes are a bit swollen, not very obvious though. I rushed to Digital Image Lab at 9am on Friday for my report printing and a girl was already there, printing. The HP laser printer there sure is fast. I finished printing more than 150 pages in less than 15 minutes.

I was invited as a speaker for the Technopreneur seminar last Saturday. There were far more attendees than I expected and they all dressed up very formally. This made me a bit nervous. Ryan and I shared the presentation session. Our presentation is not quite relevant to the seminar on that day and one of the attendees pinpointed us about this. It was Justin whom I know about 2 years ago. His attitude is still the same as always, going around looking for trouble. He could have asked the question in a better way, instead of being so harsh.

Last Sunday, all the homestay students and sensei went to JJ for shopping at 10.30am. There were 6 people in total for my car. We were like squeezing ourselves in a sardine can on our trip there. It actually took 3 hours to get all the “uniforms”. The scenario is really weird. A whole bunch of people, going there, and buy the same design of shirt/slack. Everyone’s taste and preference are different and it is really difficult to compensate for each other. Another problem face would be the size for the same shirt/slack. They are always running out of stock.

On Wednesday, I attended a BBQ party at sensei’s house to welcome the visit of Sugiura-san, one of the host families for last year’s homestay and perhaps for this year as well. Before the party, Gan, Pei Juan and I went to the children’s playground in the condominium. It is a very nice place as it is windy and there are no mosquitoes. I enjoyed myself playing the swing. I felt like flying in the air as the wind blew. Everyone was hungry before the party started. They aimed for the instantly available food such as “onigiri”, potato salad, “oden” and Japanese-style pizza rather than the BBQ food. Andy was busy indulging himself with the food. They arrived quite late and most of the food was already finished. Luckily we reserved some food for them. This meeting session turned out to be a mini autograph session. We got home quite late as we were lost after sending Gan home at Malim.
