My Japanese has improved??

Monday, 23 July 07, 11.33pm in Yotsuya room

Hello my diary,
Hey, I just realised that I have one new 'pembaca setia' who reads and comments on my story beside cip2 and cnonik.. Thanks to Ko Antony for being my blog's reader! :D

Actually today I don't plan to write a blog since there's nothing much happened today but Ron asked me to write blog! Amazing rite? Actually he doesn't agree the idea of writing my secret story here coz everyone can read it! Well, I know what I should write and what I should not, so don't worry, honey.. :) He asked me to write a blog this time for 2 reasons:
1. To accompany him while he's studying the Japan Law (I guess he's jealous seeing me sleeping nice and sound when he's still 'bete' memorizing that 1,200 pages book)
2. To tell my blog's readers about a funny story that happened this morning (a story that I shouldn't tell anyone actually, I was so 'maluuuu')

Ok then, I think I should tell you that funny story which I guess it's not funny.. it's more like an embarassing story! This morning Ron asked me to call Do Co Mo (a mobile phone provider) and to ask them about something. You know, I'm always scared talking to Japanese, especially on the phone! I can just use my sexy body language if I have to talk to them face to face.

Since my dear hubby asked me, aku memberanikan diri untuk mengangkat gagang telpon, memencet tombolnya, menghafalkan kira2 apa yang harus diomongin in Japanese, and somebody over there picked up the phone:

Do Co Mo: Moshi moshi @#$!@#$^&*()!@#$ (cuman ketangkep kata moshi2nya aja)
Me: Moshi moshi, Oosawa-san imasuka? (Hello, is Mr. Oosawa there?)
Do Co Mo: Hai! (Yes!)
Me: Oosawa-san imasuka? (Is Mr. Oosawa there?)
Do Co Mo: Hai! (Yes!)
Me: [bingung] Can you speak English?
Do Co Mo: Hai! (Yes)
Me: Can I speak to Oosawa-san?
Do Co Mo: Hai! Anata wa dare desuka?
(Yes! Who is this?)
Me: Feni-san (harusnya nyebut nama sendiri ga usah pake 'san', dia juga ga ngerti sapa tu Feni-san, gunung Feni??)
Do Co Mo: Hai! !#$%^&* (ga ketangkep ngomong apa)
Me: [tambah bingung, udah mau mewek] Oosawa-san........?
Do Co Mo: Hai! (Yes)
Me: Daijoubu, Arigatou Gozaimasu (No problem, thank you)
tut...tut...tut...tut...

I felt PD when I started asking in Japanese but then.. but then.. ohhh... the worse part is: Ron heard everything! It's ok, we must learn from mistake.. Ada pepatah: Malu bertanya, sesat di jalan.. this time: Karena bertanya, saya tambah mubeng!

Now is exactly 12.00 midnite, better I go to sleep now because every morning I have to wake up at 9am to have breakfast at the hotel.

Good nite, diary

p.s Yesterday nite I met lots of Indonesian friends, yuhuuu.. hopefully we can get along well! :D

Efforts to Get Friends

Saturday, 21 July 07, 8.41pm in Yotsuya room

Hello My Little Diary,
Yesterday nite I had enough sleep, ermm more than enough actually.. I slept for 10 hours, to be exact I slept for 10 hours 15 mins. Maybe because I was too tired for the last 2 days. I woke up in the morning, I felt so refreshed.. Today, I just stay at home the whole day.. just went downstairs to have my breakfast and dinner at restaurants near the hotel.

I used my time today in front of computers.. searching for language schools in Japan that provide Japanese courses, browsing properties, and of course chatting with cip, cnonik, oy, and my other friends.. Whenever I chat with cip and cnonik, I feel that I'm not so lonely.. thanks to my both cips who always be there whenever I feel lonely, sad, and down.

Today I managed to get one university that offers good Japanese course: Temple University! The cost is considered affordable, the place isn't too far, the programme is very relevant to what I need.. But, there's one thing that I don't like.. This school only offers evening class for class starts in September. They only have morning class in April next year. Huh! I can't wait that long. Ron asks me to take Jap course for 2 reasons. I guess he knows my problem. :)
1. I'll get friends
2. I'll be able to speak Japanese

Anyway, I've decided to take that evening class considering that I'll have time to do things in the morning - afternoon, like:
1. Write my novel - remember my new cita2 to be a novelist?
2. Browse around any business opportunities in Japan - hopefully there is one!
3. Do part-time job - hopefully I can find one too!
4. Do my house works like cleaning house, ironing clothes, etc
5. Learn and practice my cooking (when Ron's not around so that he won't know if I fail)
6. Study Japanese - practice my speaking and listening skills by shopping around, the more you shop the more you can practice it!
7. Chat with cip and cnonik! Aha! :D

Tomorrow I'll go to Indonesian church here, hopefully I can find friends there.
See you tomorrow, diary..

My Big Appetite & Big Tummy

Friday, 20 July 07, 7.24pm in Yotsuya room

Hi diary,
Today I got my first quarrel with my hubby :( The problem is about my forever-and-ever problem, which is about my diet! Well, marriage life is a life without secret between husband and wife. There's nothing you can hide from your spouse, including your big appetite and your big tummy! I've been trying to tahan not to eat a lot in front of him because I know that he doesn't like to see me eating so much. It's not because of the problem of kesopanan dalam makan nor the money that we spend for the food, it's because I'm fat already!! I always look fat on his eyes.. and my sis, nCang, always looks skinny on his eyes although she gained weight lately.. why?

Just now, he found out that one of dorayaki that we bought only left 1 piece. I admit that I ate that one piece! He also couldn't find the donut that we bought today (although it's in his bag), then he accused me that I must be the one who ate the donut. I was so angry.. Why did he make conclusion that way? Does he think that dorayaki's fans must be donut's fans?? Dorayaki is from Japan, donut is from?? America?? They are from 2 different worlds, so it doesn't mean that dorayaki's eater must be donut's eater, agree??

Anyway, the point isn't that one. I was angry because I started to feel that I have no freedom now. Even I need his permission on what to eat, when to eat, and how much I can eat! I started feeling scared.. I have no income now, I feel like I have no power.. I feel so paiseh (malu) if I have to ask his permission everytime I want to buy something, do something, go somewhere. And, I'm a full time housewife now.. I have feeling that I'm a useless person who only can spend money, eat a lot, and 'leha-leha' all the time. I'm scared that he'll expect more from me, like yesterday, he asked me to give him massage after my long and tiring journey that I told you. I told him "Enak aja, aku ya capek bangett". He was okay with my answer but then suddenly I felt that I shouldn't let him down in the future when he's tired after work and I just stay at home doing nothing. He told me that I'm now scared of something that won't happen, but still..

Little diary, how much I explained to him, he won't understand my feeling.

My diary, now is 7.50pm. Honestly, I'm hungry now. My hubby is still busy studying the Japan Law. I don't dare to disturb him and tell him that I want to eat. He will say: "AGAIN??" That topic is still so sensitive now. What should I do? Sleep? Ironing clothes? Playing Sudoku? Arghh..

2nd Day in Tokyo

Thurs, 19 Jul 07, 11.24pm in Yotsuya room

Hello My Little Diary,
Today is another tiring day. Let me tell you the story one by one kay?

1. 8.45 - 9.30
Breakfast at hotel. This time we know already how to order, what to order, how to make ocha (green tea) with 'saringan', and how to settle the bill. Yuhuu!

2. 9.30 - 12.00
Meeting with Sirva Relocation persons. They came to our hotel to give us briefing about Japan's lifestyle and answer questions that we may have about living in Japan. It's a good service from Ron's company! I asked everything - from how to open bank account and subscribe hp, phone, internet until where to buy cheap detergent. It's a very looooong meeting, especially for me yang nahan pipis setengah mati akibat minum ocha kebanyakan. You'll know what I mean when you drink green tea and try not to pee for the next 2.5 hours.

3. 12.00 - 13.00
We went to Shinjuku Ward Office to get Ron's Alien Registration Certificate to open bank account and subscribe hp. Jap calls "foreigner" as "alien"! Hmm.. they are so creative as usual..

4. 13.00 - 15.00
Going to ILS to take care of my residential status. Actually the place isnt too far but we really couldnt find the building! Japanese is really nice, they helped us finding the place even we never asked them to! But still,we couldnt find the place.. Now I know why they call us an alien. We feel like two aliens coming to earth from planet "@#$%^&*"we can't talk, can't hear, can't understand, can't find, can't see.. even we talk, they also don't understand. However, I try to see everything from positive angle..maybe it's God's plan to make the love between these two aliens stronger. You know, love grows when storms come when there are just two of them, rite??

5. 15.00 - 16.00
Going to Ueda Clinic, Ron needs to get medical check-up as a requirement from the company. It's also not an easy place to find. We must ask around, show map to anyone who wants to see our map, and went in and out from one door to another door like a salesman. Finally we found the place! Buttt.. with my limited Japanese knowledge, I understood that appointment was required! Oh man, we need to go back there again tomorrow.. :(

6. 16.00 - 20.00
We then went to Shinjuku again to subscribe hp. It's not as easy as said. We must ask around the plan package, price, etc and compare it with other service provider with our super-limited Japanese vocabulary! *No wonder it took 4 hours to do it* <-- Hey, not really 4 hours! We also had dinner there, had some little shopping there, and took some pics too! Anyway, at the end we haven't bought the hp. We brought back the brochures so that we have enough time to think and compare.

Very long journey rite? Yeah, thanks to Jap subway system yang kayak maen ular tangga. There are 14 different lines! Can you imagine?? Singapore only has 3 lines, Jap has 14!! These 14 lines come from different colors. If you wanna go from green line to red line, you have to jump here jump there till you get the right line color. If you got wrong direction, you have to go back again and start to climb again! It's really like playing snake and ladder.

Another interesting thing about Japan is: there's underground world! It's really like Doraemon's underground world! Wow.. I guess Tokyo's land isn't enough so they built another layer that really connects one suburb to another suburb.

Little diary, I'm so tired now. Tomorrow will be another tiring day. See you soon... ZzzzzZZzzzz...

-Abbie-

p.s I just got small 'benjolan' of 'kapal' on my both feet because I walked too much these 2 days.

Wedding Event Pics on 08/07/07

Wednesday, 18 July 07, 5.35pm in Tokyo

Hello again my lil diary,
Ron's now busy studying Japan corporation law, he's going to take an exam soon. It's a requirement from the company hiks hiks.. So, I have nothing to do now. Here I upload the pics of my wedding (on Sunday, 8 July 2007). I really like this pic (on the right) when I happened to kiss the roses that he gave. It's so romantic, isn't it? Actually, we just followed instruction from the photographer. How about the red roses?? I was also the one who chose the flowers, order the flowers, and even asked the florist to send the roses to Ron's place! Anyway, I'm happy as long as I can capture this best moment. People don't care what happen behind the scenes, rite? They still like to watch Superman, Jurassic Park, and Titanic eventough they know that all is just bluff, rite?

I also uploaded some of the events on that day:
On the Stairs + Walking along the Aisle
Pic with Our Dear Parents + Cutting Our Wedding Cake

1st Day in Tokyo

Wednesday, 18 July 2007, 2.49pm in Tokyu Stay Yotsuya room..

Hello diary,
Finally we have reached Tokyo! It was a long and tiring journey.. Phew! How was my first day in Japan? The left picture is our first picture in Japan, taken when we were on the bus from Narita Airport to Shinjuku-ku.

We're now staying at Tokyu Stay Yotsuya.. it's a small, cute, but very comfy studio-like. I like this place so much! You wanna see the pics? Here they are:

Ron's checking in at lobby + Our Room's Number


Kitchen & Mini Bar + Living Room


Bed Room + Bath Room, Toilet, Laundry Room

Yesterday nite around 8pm we reached hotel. Then, we went out for dinner around the hotel. It was a raining and cold nite. We were in short sleeves and got no umbrella! Kayak pilem2 India yang sedang ujan2an sambil guling2 di rumput atau memeluk tiang?? Well, I was looking for a pillar but unfortunately Ron bought an umbrella before I could find one.
Back from dinner, I unpacked the things from our luggages while Ron was busy in front of computer. I was so tired and I fell asleep without even showering (padahal abis ujan2an gitu), around 1.30am I woke up to brush my teeth and take off my make-up coz I'm very scared of 'gigi berlubang' and 'jerawat', then I slept again. For the first time, Ron was okay I turned in
without taking a bath! Ha Ha Ha.......
Today I experienced many new things, like buying train tickets, taking shin-kan-sen (underground subway), reading tokyo map (getting lost in tokyo), accidentally pressing table-bell while having breakfast (unfortunately Japanese is very nice), seeing Jap girls wearing stocking (cuma 1 kaki), 'kondenan ala Jap morat-marit', rok mini ala Jap, Jap payungan pake payung transparan!
To adjust to this new environment, my first step was: buying payung transparan (last nite)! Second step was: pake mascara n rose pipi! I was so surprised that I look more lively and fresh when I put on mascara and blush on my cheek. You should try it! At least now I feel more like Jap when I put on mascara and blush and walking along Shinjuku with my new transparant umbrella!
How about my plan tonite? Hmm, I guess I'll need to buy some groceries to cook at home tonite.. this will be my first cook after my marriage aHa! What to cook?? I'll browse around the market and decide later..
Bye, diary..

My New Life Has Just Begun!

Thursday, 12 July 07, 4.35pm at Ron's home..

I've just returned from my long holiday in Indonesia, just got new status: NYONYAH! (without the 'H' I guess). Ron is packing his stuff now.. to be more accurate, he's sorting his stuff on what to be brought to Japan and what to be thrown away.. Huh! It's not easy.. Aja Aja Hubby!

Long time no writing blog since my last one on May. I was so busy preparing my wedding and my relocation. Everything's doing fine.. I cant write too much here, I have to help him packing now.. I'll tell you my story once I have time later in Japan, ok? :)

Anyway, I'll arrive in Tokyo on 17 July.

See you, little diary..

My 'Twist & Shape' Money is GONE!!

Tuesday, 15 May 07, 10.58 am in office

I had a very bad experience last nite.. about my Twist & Shape.. you know what happened?? I lost the money ‘hasil penjualan’ my dear twist & shape, huuuuuuuu… I remember I put the money in my jeans’ pocket, it’s $90. At that time I also put my other $10 in that pocket just in case the buyer would gave me $100. Last nite I just remembered that I had not put that money in my wallet so I rushed back to my room to check the money… you know what, I was like crying the whole nite.. I only found $10, where has my $90 gone to???!!! It’s not because I lost $90 and I cried.. but because it’s the money from my Twist & Shape!! I sacrificed my feeling to part with it but now.. even the money doesn’t belong to me.. “I’m so sorry my dear twist & shape, I sold you for nothing…”

The first thing I was thinking when I found out that the money wasn’t in my pocket “Apa lelaki berbaju item kemarin isa magic pa???” I searched my whole apartment even inside my toilet bowl, below my bed, behind cupboard (just in case I dropped it somewhere), the money wasn’t anywhere found.. I really cried the whole niteeee.. without anybody knows and cares.. in an empty room without TV (I sold my TV already).. crying while searching the money.. and remembering happy moments when I was still happily pedaling up there.. this morning I got popeye swollen eyes.. uhuk uhuk uhuk… I have the same feeling like 'putus cinta ditinggal pacar' now.. :'(

Cheers

My After-Midnite Experience

Monday, 14 Apr 07, 9.40am in office

Morning little diary..
Last nite I couldn’t sleep till 2am plus... I think it was because I drank coffee in the evening or because I took nap for 2 hours in the afternoon.. after 2 hours ‘gedebak-gedebuk’ on my bed, I decided to call Ron since it was 2pm there.. we talked for 20mins on the phone then he asked me to sleep! I wish I could sleep! If I could sleep, I wouldn’t call him! *sigh*

I turned on my TV again, do you know that the TV shows after midnite are mostly GHOST STORY?? Stupid me watched it!! It was about a Chinese mother who accidentally lost her baby.. her baby kept blaming her mother for killing her and always appeared on her mother’s dream.. the most scary part was, the mother liked to play with a doll (the doll was wearing red Chinese dress)! She put the doll on her bed and treated it like her lost baby girl.. every time she played with the doll, the baby ghost appeared… WAAaaaaaAAAAaaaAAaa!!!! I was stunned till I couldn’t reach my remote control and switch to other channel..

Finally I managed to switch to channel U! It was an online Sudoku game.. hahaha.. I like it! Sudoku is a numbering game, we have to put the numbers 1-9 to the correct boxes. This game needs a calculation, it made my cute little brain so tired after trying to play it for about 15mins.. the screen was also red so my eyes couldn’t take it for so long.. and finally.. zzzZZZzzzzZZZzz… it’s a good TV program that should be played after midnite.. for those who desperately need to sleep like me.. not a ghost ‘freaking scary’ story! Thanks to Channel U!

Hey, I need to get back to work now.. my last week in this office! Yuhuuuu!!
See you soon, diary..

Cheers

Bye Bye My Dear 'Twist & Shape'

Sunday, 13 May 07, 10.00pm at home

Hi Little Diary,
Aku baru sedihhhh... karna aku harus berpisah dengan my dear 'Twist & Shape'!! Aku harus menjualnya karna terlalu berat and gede untuk dibawa ke Japan, kita bakal bawa printer gedee karna udah terlanjur beli and sayang utk dijual.. Ron gak mau kita kayak org kampung "Benyamin masuk kota" wkt datang ke Japan bawa (read: 'nyunggi') dus banyak, gede2 pula.. So, aku harus merelakan Twist & Shapeku untuk dijual... Nggak tau kenapa rasanya sedihh banget sampe tadi tidur siangpun aku gak nyenyak, terasa sedih banget wkt inget kalo hari ini hari perpisahanku dengannya.. tadi pagi aku pake twist & shape untuk yg terakhir kalinya.. ini aku upload poto terakhirnya waktu aku pack twist & shape ke kotaknya.. menarik plastik penutupnya dengan hati2...

Aku baru beli bulan Oct taon lalu.. belum juga genap berumur 7 bulan dan sekarang orang lain telah memilikinya.. baru tadi jam 7.30pm aku mengantarkan kepergiannya sampai ke depan MRT control station and seseorang berbaju hitam menyambutnya dengan senyuman, memberikan uang kepadaku, and bye bye... hoaaaaaaaa..... *sempet aku meliriknya untuk yang terakhir kalinya dan kulihat lelaki berbaju hitam tadi sedang membopong my twist & shape dengan mesranya*.
Habislah kisahku dengan my Twist & Shape mulai hari ini.. kucoret daftar listku di "Hargenas" yg tentang Twist & Shape jadi sekarang aktivitasku cuman tinggal 9, tidak lagi 10... semoga lelaki berbaju hitam, pemiliknya yang baru memperlakukannya dengan baik.. kulihat dia berbadan besar, ototnya kencang, berambut jabrik, bermata sipit dan berbibir tipis agak sadis.. pasti dia akan menginjak-injak pedal dan menarik-narik tali penarik Twist & Shape lebih keras dari apa yang kulakukan biasanya.. ohhhh!!
Aku berharap bakal bisa nemu alat sejenis Twist & Shape lagi nanti kalo udah sampe Japan. Thank you, Twist & Shape.. walaupun badanku sekarang masih gembur2 dan belum meling2 seperti yang diiklankan di TV, tetep aja aku ngrasa kalo dia sudah sangat membantu sekali dalam pembentukan badanku hingga jadi seperti skg ini..
Bye bye my dear Twist & Shape....

Cheers

2 months Before the Wedding/Moving to Japan

Saturday, 5 Apr 07, 6.19pm in my room

Hi my little diary..
Today I started to develop my wedding website. Actually the reason I want to make my own website isn't only for our wedding, I want to continue updating the site with our stories after the wedding too, like the honeymoon, the newlyweds story, and the baby (oopss..)! Don't worry, little diary, it doesn't mean that I'll abandon you.. you're still my private diary, that website is just to upload pictures and summary of my life. See, you're still more important and more personal to me. Anyway, I have the design template already, just need to fix the contents and tune up the design. Developing a website is not easy! It's very time consuming and sometimes irritating because every single things need attention.. arghh!

Beside developing website and collecting materials for the website, I also use my time (when Ron's not around) by learning Japanese! Yoohoo! Before he left, he bought me several books for me to read and learn and understand: "Japanese for Dummies" (to learn the language), "The Rough Guide to Tokyo" (to learn the culture, lifestyle, etc). He was right when he bought the Japanese for Dummies, the book is very clear and easy to understand. *Of course! It's meant for dummies..*

Now I only have 2 more weeks to stay in Singapore. Now I'm busy scheduling my time to meet up with my friends here. When I told them I'd go overseas for good, they wanted to see me to say bye bye and wish me a good luck... now I feel sad leaving them although I don't really meet up with them when I'm in Singapore.

I've booked my air ticket to Indonesia on 22 May and will be back to Singapore again (for few days transit before flying to Japan) on 12 July (just 4 days after our wedding).

Everyone says that I'm very lucky to have chance to live in Japan. I was also very excited when I knew that we're moving there. What I'm still excited about living in Japan are:
1. Japan has winter!
2. Japanese fashion is very elegant and cute (I can dress up as cute as Japanese??)
3. My skin will look good because of the weather and the Japan-made cosmetics (Japan is popular with its great skin treatment)
4. I'll have chance to design my house in Japanese style
5. I can be a novelist! Yeeee!!! (read: I don't need to work! Huahahahaha!)

Now, I start thinking:
1. How my life will be like in Japan?
2. Will I have friends there?
3. Will I be able to speak Japanese fluently one day?
4. Will Ron be so busy with his work? (because Japanese is popular as the most workaholic worker in Asia) Will he be able to coupe with the stress level in the working environment there?
5. Can I go back to work, at least earn some money, one day in the future? I feel uneasy depending on husband for the whole my life.
6. Where will be our next destination country? and when will that time come?

My life will totally be changed after 2 months! Cip2 and her husband told us that usually people greet a newly wed couple "Selamat Menempuh Hidup Baru", that greeting will be very suitable for us. We'll have a new life, new culture, new environment, new work, new house, new friends, new language, new lifestyle, and of course the existence of new life-partner! Too many changes are happening at the same time! I know it's God's plan on us..

"Don't think too much, Abbie.. just do what you can do, one at a time.. live well, shop well, eat well, sleep well..." Yeah, those are what I'm good at! :D

My little diary, I just received very good news from Ron. Hahahaha.. I can't stop laughing.. hahahaha.. ok enough enough... hahahaha *still not enough* hahahahahahahaha... Oh My God! hahaha... Oh My God! Hahaha.. oopss.. hahahahahaha......

Ok, serious mood on now. Ehem ehem.. Ron bought a handbag in US for me, from my favorite brand, DIOR!!! And another bonus handbag from COACH! Oh, I lop him coooo much!! Oopss.. it's not because he bought me branded handbags then I love him.. I mean I love him more now.. hihihihi.. *asikk bisa kembaran tas and dompet Diorku (given by cip2) sekarang*

Here I upload the pics for you.

D.I.O.R + C.O.A.C.H

I should commemorate today, 4 May 2007 as one of important moments in my life.. *masukin tiang pancang* because.. because.. I believe that if there's the first one, there would be the second one and the third one and the fourth one etc etc etc.. You got what I mean? It means that from today onwards,.....................oopss suddenly remembered he told me "Jangan ketagihan minta barang branded lagi loh ya"! It's ok, just keep the faith in your heart and keep praying and dream will come true! Hahahaha... Woohooo...!!

I told him to really take care of these bags, treat them as his own babies coz I'm scared he carelessly puts inside the luggage and *mak nyett*. Then, he told me that he was going to send 'my babies' by courier to Indonesia hahaha.. what a great service! Wait wait, how if the deliveryman lost it? Or if the deliverywoman likes it and wants to take it?? or if the bag "ketrocohan" water while in the ship? Should I ask him to send by air? In the plane also can be "ketrocohan" water from the aircon. So how?? May God bless them..

Cheers
