I had an awesome birthday this year!
First year spending my birthday out from M'sia~!!!
First year spending my birthday out from my family~!!!
First year spending my birthday out from my best friends, Seisyun~!!!
First year spending my birthday without receiving any present~!!!
BUT
First year spending my birthday in Hokkaido, Japan~!!!
First year spending my birthday with my beloved house mate~!!!
First year spending my birthday with my boyfriend~!!!
First year spending my birthday with a full of surprise~!!!
All I can say is "I LOVE YOU ALL~!!!"

On my birthday eve,
I had a wonderful birthday surprise from my housemate.
Tae, my beloved housemate who is also my Front Desk Supervisor,
she's working for HT till end of this month and she's leaving to UK.
Tae told me the day before that she want to held a sushi party on the 21st.
I love having party with housemate
We had a few times before, bbqs and tempura soba dinner...
I was working till 6.30pm,
got back home and they still preparing the food.
I went for a shower and when I got our from the bathroom I saw a pair of green shoe which belongs to my boyfriend
So I knew he was here.
Maybe in the living room or my room
I did not check and straight went to my room
Not surprising at all saw him in the room.
As usual, he turn on his laptop and watch his favourite tv series, Scrubs...

Say "Hi" to him...
Not giving him a kiss
And I was off to help them out with the food.
At first, See Yee talk to me in Mandarin telling me that Brad was here.
Then, Tae also asking me do I know that Brad was here.
Again, Eiko came out from no where telling me Brad was here.
I was like "Yes! I know!" for 3 times...
I wondered why each of them notified me.
Anyway they did not want me to help with the preparation

So I wandering around the kitchen, walking here and there
And then Brad came down from the room
We snuggle around the living room
Looking at them preparing the food...

I can't remember what time we started the dinner.
But the food were definitely awesome~!!!
There's sashimi - salmon, some kind of fish and some kind of eel...
Avocado, carrots, cucumber and radish,
Cooked marinated beef and pork...
Tuna with mayonaise...
Tamago (egg)...
Some green vegies...
Of course, there will be rice and seaweed~!!!
It was so awesome to make your own sushi...

When the dinner was almost finish
Simon rang up to Eiko for pick-up
I went along because I left my I-pod in the office.
When to Lawson to get more boost...
Japan has awesome alcohol drinks...
There's a wide variety on the can alcohol.
Mostly are cocktails...
So I got about 6 cans, all different favourite~!!!

Got back home...
Continue with the chatting...
Had a few sip of my boost
And then everyone start to move around...

All out of sudden...
Eiko and Simon came down with laptop
Tae was trying to light up the candle behind the fridge door...
Which she think I did not even realise about it
Hahaha...
I did realise but just pretend don't know and turn my head away looking at Brad.

My closest friends always know I'm a big crying baby...
I cry easily...
Little bit of hugging or a twisted butterfly of my heart...
My tears will be like waterfall...
Hahaha...
Not to say waterfall
but maybe my eyes just go watery...

So when See Yee turn off the lights...
Eiko trying to play the Japanese Birthday song...
Tae carried out the cakes...
My tears just at the edge of my eyes and start dropping
And I also realised the music just doesn't play smoothly
Tae, Eiko and See Yee were trying to sing but it just like a broken player that play awful songs.
I did not care...
I was just too touch to care about the music...

When Tae left the cake in front of me
I was totally amaze with the cake...
It was made of swissroll...
With a splash of icing sugar on top...
And a pinky word of 23 and Happy Birthday~!!!

And So everyone realise that Simon was the one playing with the music.
He has a controller on his hand and pausing and play all the way
He ruined the atmosphere~!!!
Anyway...
I made my wish...
Which I can't remember now because I just simply made one
Blow my candles...
And eat my birthday cake specially made by Tae~!!!
Thank you Tae~!!!

The party was over
Went back to my room
Had a great night with Brad
We woke up around 9 the next morning...
My birthday morning
Snuggle in the bed
And I was hungry...

So we got up and off for breakfast
I wanted to try the Graubunden's sandwich....
So we went~!

After the breakfast
I was asking him what next...
He said we gonna go back my place and continue to sleep
So it was fine to me
Because I expected he did not plan anything for me
Sad eh...
Ya...
He is not that kind of person will tell you what he's thinking about
what he wanna do
not even saying "I Love You" to me
So do I...
Hahahaha...
Most of the time he show his so call "I do care" by action

For example,
Using almost all of my cotton buds that I left and form them into a heart shape in my room on the floor...
So tell me should I be mad or happy...
He knew I was working till 9pm and he text me to ask whether I need a lift or not...
When I want to eat out, he never say no...
He also compliment on my cooking...
He knew that I did not cook and did not have my dinner, and went out to buy me some food...
Sweet ya my boy...

So after the breakfast
We stepped out from the cafe and he told me to go back home,
have a shower, pack an over night bag and off for adventure
Lol...

Yeap...
I did what he told me to do!!!
I'm a good birthday girl!!!

And so we head to Sapporo~!!!
Had a great dinner and drinking out...
Had a great shopping the next day...
And also puri kura~!!!

Will post some photos when I'm free
I'm actually doing this post in the office...
Hahaha....

Sunrise and Sunset in Hokkaido~!

Here am I again~!
Hello~!!
Today's topic is about sunset and sunrise in Hokkaido, Japan...

When I first arrived in Hirafu, Hokkaido on 2nd July 2010
Everything was so wonderful
Fresh air, quite environment, greeny mountain, beautiful flower and etc...
The temperature was so prefect
Around 18 °C to 24 °C~!!!
Love it so much

The first night in Hokkaido...
To be honest...
It was horrible!!!
Why?
Because...
The freaking sunrise is at 4am!!!
Can you imagine?!
I woke up on my first night in Japan at 4.30am and was pretty shock to death...
I thought I over sleep!!!
But when I look at the time it was only 4.30am!!!
My god...

To know about my crazy July in Japan...
Waking up almost everyday around 4-5am...
You can check this website and you will know the Sunrise and Sunset time

August was pretty busy here in Hirafu.
And it was the hottest month a well
Almost everyday there's check-in and check-out
It was Obon Festival in Japan and always school holidays
I was pretty busy and did not realise the changes around...

Untill one day...
The whole Hirafu was getting quiet...
The weather slightly getting cold after 5pm...
And so I realise the sky getting dark around 6pm

It was not cool at all!!!
Because if I'm working till 6.30pm
The sky will be total dark...
Well... There's lot of pretty beautiful stars
But still the journey back to staff house is very dark
The street lights are quite limited...
There's a few parts are really dark and scary...
Around are river, forest and one or two houses...

Well...
Thinking of the bright side
The sunrise is getting late!!!
I seldom got awake because of the sun light now...
Can have peaceful sleep ne
Hahahaha...

Wake up at 4am really scary anyway
Is like having a good sleep and suddenly got frighten awake in the middle of sleep,
found out it was just 4am and try to sleep back...

So what will be tomorrow???

19th Sep 2010
Sunrise - 05:18
Sunset - 17:39
Length of day - 12h 20m 38s

Ahh....
Almost 9pm and I'm off back home...
Jya~!!!

Sunday = Working = Boring

Oh my....

I should not do this in the office...
But hello!
I did it again!!!

Sunday sunday sunday
Too bad
I'm working almost every Sunday
Which I hate the most
Sunday is pretty easy day actually...
Quite, relax and boring!

Just like today
No phone calls...
No email to reply...
Only a few people walking in and out the office...
Less check-in...
Less check-out...
Everything just goes very slow
And I still have 3 more hours to suffer

Went to rafting 2 days ago.
Was a River Festival
Had a great BBQ dinner
But twisted my back...
Hurts like hell these 2 days
Damn...
Just spoilt my mood...

He came over last night
Not much of chatting
Just sleepover...
But I had a bad sleep
Because my back hurts like hell
I couldn't sleep on my back, keep changing sleeping position
And worse...
He kept on pushing me towards the wall
And he said he just want to snuggle...
Oh my...

Anyway I spent almost 3 hours on this post...
Hahahaha....


Here's where I'm working...

ばかばか！！！

本とにばか！！！

I'm freaking total stupid!!!
Urrrgggghhh...
I thought I bought myself the best birthday present ever.
But it turns out to be my worse night mare!

I wanted to get a I-Pod Touch for ages...
Came to Japan, work as an intern.
Save up some salary and get a I-Pod Touch when I visited Sapporo.
Told myself this gonna be the best ever!

Ever since 5 years ago,
I been getting myself a birthday present.
Normally I will bought something expensive,
I mean at least RM 100 and above...

I bought myself a few Harry Potter Piano Books few years back,
perfumes, cosmetics and etc...
Last year I bought a Nine West bag, purse and shoe and also Blackberry 8520~!

So this year, since I'm here in Japan,
earning Japanese Yen...
And I got myself a I-Pod Touch!!!

I been searching for updates on the Apple items.
Wanted to just get a I-pod Shuffle...
But it was just 10,000 yen different, so decided to just get I-Pod Touch.

I even wondered that will they came out with camera.
I asked the staff and they told me NO.
So hella...
I freaking believe him and pay my hard ass cash to get it.
I even gave up the 5% tax refund!

The most crazy stuff I found out.
They freaking came out with camera!!!
Arrrggghhhh...
I'm just so speechless...
Wanted to scream out loud!!!
Felt so stupid and meaningless now...

And it was just 3000 yen different!!!
Damn...
Feel like getting another one...
But that just another stupid act.
Maybe I should just get a Macbook Pro...

Moody moody moody...
