I'M BACK.
AND I AM CURRENTLY A TRUE BLUE ぶりっ子 AFTER TWENTY DAYS OF JAPAN.
bet you don't know what ぶりっ子 is. it actually refers to a person who acts cute. the meaning of ぶり is to pretend.
and of course, i am just joking when i said that i have become a ぶりっ子. because i am naturally cute so i have no need at all to act cute.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, twenty days.
DID YOU MISS ME?
i bet you did. because i am ever so 優しい (kind, nice) and i am a 大切な人 (important person).
sorry to inform you but i have come back from japan with a huge ego. my host family has been very nice and they totally love me just like how i totally love them so we were all happy together and our feelings were mutual.
and i just want to say that:
I AM SUPER LUCKY TO GET SASAGASE AS MY HOST FAMILY AND I LOVE MY HOST A LOT.
i still remember before i went to japan, i was damn scared lah! when i met japanese on the streets speaking japanese, i didn't even dare to hear cos i knew i wouldn't be able to understand a thing! and i was super scared that my host family would totally mock me for my lousy japanese and we would spend the two weeks disliking each other and waiting for this programme to end. or that my host just has a sucky character like tamura (hahaha, inside joke) or she's just too ugly for anyone to look at. or that i would be dissed by everybody there for some stupid unknown reason. and did i mention that my host was from basketball? omg i thought she was tall and skinny and would look down at me (literally) all the time just to talk to me.
it all turned out to be the opposite. all thanks to this cool- looking dictionary that they have, we made full use of it to communicate with each other! plus the fact that both my host and her twin are in basketball, so we can all catch ball quite fast during conversations. (actually no lah, it's because we have a lot of chemistry.) and she is actually shorter than me! hahahaha. 150 cm! so i totally made fun of her and call her 150 (in japanese) and in the end i was like "are you sure you're 150? not 149?" her father was like "no lah, 149.5!"
but both of them indeed damn skinny. irritate the hell out of me. i tell you they eat more than me lah. and they totally pissed me off one sunday after their training when they went to sleep right after they ate. i mean, they are not on diets, and neither are they bulimic, it's tested and proven, yet they are still so skinny. omg lah, i was bitching about my host on monday, and then my host was totally unaware of what we were talking about. still smile and wave to me somemore, made me even more pissed. hahhaha.
and when you type a word into the electronic dictionary and off it without returning to the main menu right, the next time you on it, the screen will show the last word that you input. so i always loved to type words like 'stupid', 'irritating', etc. just to irritate her when she wants to use her dictionary.
and i liked myself when i was in japan! i felt very tame yet wild at the same time.
so if you read my previous posts, you would know that my host is called ryo and her twin is called yo. i like the both of them a lot a lot! ryo's japanese (the tone) is very cute while yo's english is super duper cute. my favourite is to hear her say, 'oh my god!' and i'm always purposely very mean to ryo and very sweet to yo! yo's my 親友 (special friend) and ryo's my 死ぬ (die). but in the end i changed ryo to best host because we proclaim ourselves:
BEST HOST AND BEST HOST STUDENT OF SHIJIMIZUKA.
and of course, we were totally worthy of the title. because we were exchanging gossips with each other about what the hosts said about the singaporeans and what the singaporeans said about the host. and then we realized that all the hosts wanted me (not kidding, it's true!) and all the singaporeans wanted ryo! so we were brushing our teeth while getting high, and speculating that maybe the mood of another host's house is down. hahaha. and we were all saying that if we didn't get each other, the atmosphere would surely be super sian. like :( or maybe :) but thank god we got each other so we are always :)))))))))))))))))))))))))!
and we all taught each other bad stuff and ryo became cockroach shit. anyway the both of them forced me to teach them 'fuck you'! made me spell the word on their dictionary. i kept saying that it's vulgar and not a good word, but they were like 'nevermind, nevermind, just spell!' but yeah, we taught each other english and japanese and they kept laughing at my japanese because it sounded funny and all. but hey, we all agreed that i am quite a good english teacher okay!
the first few days, they wanted to tell me to 'take a bath', but their 'th' became 's' and they were like, 'take a bus' instead. so i totally didn't understand them and was like, 'where?' (in japanese), 'outside?' and the family and i were both like, ' huh?' to each other until they told me to take a bath in japanese. and then i understood immediately and they were pretty amused because i didn't understand english but understood japanese instead.
and i think i am highly influenced by melissa sng and have become a very auntie person. because i can talk a lot to the mother! the last saturday with them, for the whole of the two and a half hours they were having cram school, i talked to the mother non-stop and still had a lot of things to talk about! we all agreed that the twins are very very close and it's really nice because they complete one another. it's really very obvious how close they are and how they depend a lot on each other and harmonize each other. makes me feel like having a twin, too! anyway i love to gloat every single time they have cram school by asking them if cram school was fun and interesting. and i created stupid scandals for ryo with her cram school teacher (suzuki sensei) and benjamin (some other guy in the programme). and i kept teasing her about how she had something for teachers.
basically i just had a very good time during the home stay, because i love my host family a lot a lot. i miss them so much now. and then i wonder if they miss me just as much and they better do, because i'm going to kill them if they don't. plus they still have my photos. sigh, they had cram school today and it just ended 1 hr and 45 min ago.
but i am happy! because i burned some of my photos and videos into a cd, but somehow there was some error and the photos were not inside the disc! so i was sad because i had lost the photos, so depressing. :( but today i went to check my multiply account and my photos are there even though they claimed to have some error that day! so all in all i just lost the videos and not all the photos. :))))))))))
anyway, the whole of the hamamatsu group went to tokyo for the last three days and i thought it was okay. because i don't exactly feel comfortable with them, like i don't fit in, because i don't think i have much chemistry with them. so if you ask me, they made me miss my host family and singapore a whole lot more. oh, and i met heiyi on the train back to the hostel from disneyland on the last day and we talked for the whole journey back. missed out on witnessing some sex pervert though.
okay this has been a long post, and i know i'll never finish talking about my japan trip, so i've decided to stop here for now. and here's a photo of them both!

heaven on earth
