Friday

Fridays have always been colorful, because of the 2 classes i have on this day and the antics of the locals on friday nites. Yesterday i went to the uni as usual and also went to the library to borrow some books.

A list of yesterday's mishaps:

1. As i was walking towards the lobby, changing my lift from the floors for graduate students to the common lifts at 17th floor, a student ran pass me n knocked me. My mobile fell and went into pieces. Luckily i could it back together.

2. The lift came on 19th floor. one person came out and i entered alone. No one else was waiting with me, as it was late. Oh God! the lift stinks like hell. that guy must have farted before he left!!! shit! i left a few floors after that n took the stairs.

3. Met a friend for dinner at the usual place, Jonathan's. they have new menus for autumn n winter. nice. but, the two girls next to our table was so noisy and was talking about IKEmen ( good looking guys in Japanese ) all throughout their conversation and shrieking, shouting, giggling ..urrghhhh..dinner spoil betul!

4. Friday nites are when Japanese officemates, clients and friends go out after work for drinks after a week of hard work (konon). waterholes, restaurants, pubs, clubs, izakayas are full most of the time.Karaokes too. Price are sometimes higher too.. and because of this, trains are usually very packed later at nite. trains also become a place where many 'action' happens. hahahha... so, last nite, i took the rapid train at 10.45pm (last train is at 12.30). The coach was filled with the smell of liquor n spirit. Men and women looked flushed and pink (red). couples grope each other and it's sick. Girls try to make sweet baby talks with some people n its sucks. Some older people are so knocked out that they have their juniours or subordinates hold them cause they couldn't stand anymore. lucky tonite nobody puked in the train (yes, i have seen that before)

5. When i came back to get my basikal (parked at seiyu), byknya basikal was blocking mine! sakitnya hati sebab dah malam, beg berat, letih, mengantuk n sejuk!! so i had to put down my bag, susun basikal2 lain- anjakkan jauh2 so that i could get mine. lepas tu ada pulak yg pedal tersangkut kat tayar basikal lain..hish hish..

6. Then when i got my basikal.. guess what was in my basket? 2 beer cans.. i really hate this. i know my basikal looks old, but that does not mean you can put garbage in my basket!!!!! i threw the cans at the nearby bin. sapa kata Japan bersih?

Then i cycled home, really slowly albeit it was cold...enjoying my new bicycle white light yg terang benderang.Last nite, it was probably 8 or 9 Celsius i guess. the moon was full and i suddenly remembered that when i was a kid i made a big hue n cry telling everybody that the moon always followed me. yesterday, while cycling i felf like the moon followed me again. the sky was bright and at 11.30 at nite, i could see the clouds. can u imagine that? it was so pretty.

It was not a bad day after all. i watched One Fine Day before i slept and dreamt of George Yummy Clooney.
