high school, Jazz, melbourne and aquarium


hehe yeah, sarah! i think you jinxed it :P i was actually lazy for about 3 days not posting anything. But it has actually been the most condensed three days that I have experienced since I came back. I actually hadn't seen my mom for 3 days or didnt come back till 12 every night.

29th, I caught up with my friends from high school. They e the bunch that i used to catch up every x'mas eve, when the others are actually spending time with
lovers. We used to call it a "lonely-party". Just because we didnt have any boyfriends or I had mine in Australia.....

I catch up with them everytime I go back to Japan. They dont bore me at all. we always have something to chat/laugh/tease about each other. I dont think I will get bored of them ever.
In Japan, my year level is the final year of uni. They are in the process of finding jobs, a very big deal for them. Out of us, actually only one is doing 4th year and the others are doing 3rd year including myself. So we were really keen on listening to her successful-but-still-very-stressful year so far. She has already found a job so she can relax and have a few drinks with us.
31st in the morning. I met up with a friend from junior high school. He is a very talented musician. He is fantastic at piano and can play guitar/base and so on. As I am planning to go for a Jazz audition over in US. So I have asked him to help me play impriov with him. He hired an studio and we just blasted for about3 hours. We went out for lunch afterwards and caught up with 1.5 year worth of goss. hehe hilarious!
At night, I caught up with the guys from St leonards!
Oh god, It was a hilarious night, I couldnt stop laughing. As yuri was bringing her boyfriend from England, our conversation was a mixture of Jap and English. Jack must have been so confused! hehe like Pat was when he was over!
Mio left St leonard's when She was in year 11. So I only know her for about 6 months. But she is probably the most hilarious Jap girl that I ever met in Melbourne. We get along so well. We went to Shinjuku, which is a place with a HUGE night life. We had a dinner there, expecting its going to be really expensive. But it turned put about $50 for 4 of us... We wer eso surprised! but not that we werent full or anything, so I let it go. I had to go home early because I had not seen my mom for ages. and she was getting cranky about it.
Today, I went to an aquarium with one of my friends from high school. It was supposed to be the biggest aquarium in Tokyo. So i was expecting it would take like 2 hours to go through the fish tanks. BUT, the aquarium had 4 roller-coaster-est rides and dolphin/sea lion show pooly things. So the aquarium itself was quite huge, but the actual fish tanks area was quite tiny. I was expecting to sit in the aquarium and be overwhelmed with the size of the fishes and chill for about 3 hours. but that didnt happen.
We went to the dolphin show, and saw some people splashed big time in the front row. That was quite cool. It was like 5 dolphins and 1 skinny whale (still huge). Of course, the whale couldnt jump as high, so he was in charge of splashing people. It was quire funny.
After that, I came back home, and spent time with my family.
Finally i received my music from Purdue.
I played them tonight and they arent too bad.
it is really easy, so I have no time actually to memorize them and concentrate of other things such as Jazz stuff. That is a relief..
anyway Im going to go watch some movies
Missing you heaps

You don't have to post everyday, we get bored easily :P. Naa, it's great + I have already lost out on my bet that you would've stopped ages ago.

Jazz audition as well as marching band should be great. Finally getting the music eh? I'm suprised it mananged to find you in nihon and not back in Melb. We could've had a nice burning ceremony.

Rollar coasters in the aquarium? What do you mean coaster-esque - what were they like in comparison to your other rollar coasters of late?

How as the 1.5year goss catchup, did it happen to go along of .. "what's news" ... "not much" .. "are you at uni?" "yup. almost finished.. looking for a job. you?" "yep. 2 years left. i like cheeeeese"

We got to see a good lot of you at katherines! How do you manage to get into so many photos?
