Batting Outing! =)

This is the promised post about the Cool batting place that i have near my Kaikan. Since its like NEVER seen in Singapore, i thought that i would do a short post on it just to let all my friends see wads its about! and to help me remember it in future! =)

 

ABOVE: This machine on the right is the 'Batting Coin Machine', you can choose to buy one coin for 300yen, or 4 coins for 1000yen. The coins are below! 

  

So you move into the batting area, and then just put the coin in and select your intended speed... grab your Bat and get ready to swing@!! =) haha... the pictures are generally self-explanatory so just check them out! =)

BATTING was SERIOUSLY fun! and each coin lasts about maybe 2 to 3 mins, within which the balls just keep coming at you! haha... the screens that you see at the other end, have these life sized pitchers throwing the balls at you and its really rather realistic.!! BUT... sianz... i'm like totally suckzzz at this game lohz... haha... have never played this before... the first few times i played... like think only hit 10% of the balls lah!! haha... but as you play more it gradually gets better lah... =) If anyone ever have a chance to try, make sure that you do! =)

Crusine Night!!

I'm going to name this post the crusine night!!! haha coz its actually about 3 different groups of my friends cooking their special country dinners and me being invited to each of them!! =) i was literally running around and eating a bit of everything!. wahaha... the food was great! THANKS PEEPS@!!!! =)

-------------------------DEEJ LONDON MAKAN-------------------------------

Okie then... the first invitation was from Deej from England Manchaster! =) she wanted to cook some omelette rice for all her friends and she invited us to try out her cooking! =)

ABOVE: Yeji acting as if she did the cooking (when she actually just picked up the pan! wahaha ;)... And Diego from London too! but he's not in the JTW course, he also stays in the Kaikan and is a student in another course. He's rather close with Deej so that's why he's here! =)

ABOVE: The chief of the Day! Deej!

ABOVE: The final product... haha... ok i know that it does not really look that appetizing BUT it tasted good! =)

ABOVE: This is Alice from France, she's a cute petite sized gal that's really good in Japanese! =)

------------------------HONG KONG MAKAN----------------------------------

Next up was Hongkong Chiefs doing the cooking! haha... these 3 ppl below (Joel, Kristin & Dav) were making a feast for dinner! woohoo!!!... look at the amount of food that they have prepared... and they even bought a rice cooker! haha POWER!

  

ABOVE: Kristin acting like a Serial Killer... (I think she can never be one.. zzz) wahaha!

---------------------------KOREAN SIMPLE DINNER--------------------------

And the final crusine selection was Korean FOOD! haha... for tonight it was just some simple food that Hyun A, JungWon and Sunny (the guy in the pic) Prepared. They brought their food back to HyunA's rooms and had the makan there. This is actually one of the common things that the Koreans do! =)

And this ends my wonderful crusine night post... i'm actually getting really hungry now! haha... think i'll start thinking about making some dinner myself! haha chaoz! =)

Official JTW Opening Ceremony...

The Program was officially started with this ceremony... To be utterly frank... the ceremony was damn boring lah!!! shit! haha... We were all told before hand that we had to 'dress up' coz it was a formal event and the President of Kyushu University would be there etc and so the few days before it, everyone was thinking about what they should wear and whether it was formal enough out not... and the worst thing is that in the END!!!!! the ENTIRE THING ONLY LASTED FOR LIKE LESS THEM #) MINS~!!!!!!~!~! @#$%$#@#$% haha... i have to admit that i actually spend some time worrying about what to wear sia... but in the end... some people even just wore their everyday dressing... zzz faints...

ABOVE: Harvey from the philipines... He is said to be the most handsome Asian guy in in the entire JTW program. =)

Buying A Handphone!!!

This was the outing to purchase my Mobile Phone! =) WAhahahaha... a few of us went together and we asked one of the tutors (Natsumi) to follow us coz we needed a good translator! =)

ABOVE: Just Look at the range of Phones that are available! haha!!! really cool, and many of them actually even allow you to watch the local television shows on them. (But of course due to budget constraints, i didn't get one of those!)

BELOW: See the 'deck' card like stuff on the right of the pic. Those are like the telephone numbers that you choose from. Its just like choosing a sim card back in Singapore. But this number will be permanently programmed into your phone and unlike a sim card, you cannot simply remove it and replace it with another. This is also one of the reasons why Japanese phones are not seem in the other parts of the world coz the system is totally different!.

   

ABOVE: The helpful staff that tried her best to help me coz i couldn't speak japanese and she couldn't speak english and it was really amusing with the both of us trying to communicate BEFORE Natsumi was available to help me. =)

At the end of the day! i finally got my JAP phone! haha... it was a cool black one and maybe i'll take a pic some time to show it! =)
