Japan (Part 3)
Haven't been updating because Blogspot was lagging and my Photoshop was bitching for the past few days. Lots of things have been happening. Fun fun fun. But the fun isn't over yet, and as always, it's calm before the storm. Gotta be on my haunches. The friends I though were great are starting to show their flaws, and the ones I've overlooked turned out to be the most fun I've ever had with. The friends we've made in Japan turned out to be some of the best I've ever met. We all have to meet up OKAY?! I want that dancing Japanese man!! xD
New doramas, old doramas. Yay?
________________________________________________________
Ok, what am I crapping? Let's get on to JAPAN PART 3!
The morning started like any other, I woke up to a half empty house (lol, I remembered this morning the most cause I thought everyone had left including okaasan but turned out she went to the garden) and nearly freaked out. You would okay, if you were alone in a foreign country with less than average language skills and no telephone line.
Had breakfast which consisted of blueberry toast, yoghurt and salad. The Japanese are damn healthy man, they have veggies with every single damn meal and they WALK to school/work. In Malaysia we have fried everything for breakfast and expect our parents to drive us to school.
Anyway, I was supposed to go to my host sister Hitomi's Junior High School (whose name I have forgotten) at 11.
First impression:
Wow, their school is so big and clean!!
Opening entrance.
First thing I did there was greet the school principal. He could speak next to no English and I could speak next to no Japanese outside JE/Kamenashi Kazuya terms so we resorted to hand gestures and our own language phrasebooks. Then he took me to his office
Then he took me on a tour around the school. First stop, the teacher's lounge! (sorry no pics). BUT DAYEM, IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE WHAT THEY PORTRAY IT LIKE IN DRAMAS!! WITH THE COMPUTERS/COUCHES/COFFEE MACHINES EVERYTHING!!! I met their English teacher who turned out to be a young (quite) hot Japanese dude. He had an American accent and everything cause apparently he studied in the US. We had a nice conversation.
Then I met the Chinese teacher cause I told them I could speak Mandarin. AHAHAH BIG MISTAKE. My first words were "Nihao, wo se Yang Hui Wei. Wo de hua yi pu hao! Wo ke yi zhiang i dian dian!" Hey whatever, they were so impressed and said that my Mandarin was pretty good. I blushed and we moved on.
15 year old's. This is the Japanese equivalent to a Form 3 class. They're the senpai's of the school. Wow, that would make me SUPER SENPAI for the day. OHOHOHOHOHO.
The Junior High School majored mostly in art and damn, their art room is so impressive. This is just a glance of what the students have made:
Then he took me to their school sports complex (I know right? A SPORTS COMPLEX!!) Some 14-year-old boys were playing basketball there and I felt like such a perve, standing there watching them. Gawd, I'm a paedophile at 16. JESUS. The girls were playing volleyball. The principal asked me what sport I played in school and I didn't have the heart to tell him that I hated sports and avoided it at all costs back in Malaysia. The Japs are very big about sports and health. So I told him Ping Pong and Netball and left it at that.
Second impression:
OMG THE BELL IS REAL!!!!!
Those of you who are familiar with Japanese school-centric anime/dramas, you know the "DONG DONG DONG DONG!" bell you hear in the drama? WOW OMG IT'S REAL! I was like so EXCITED WHEN I HEARD IT WEIHH. LIKE DAMN EXCITED MACAM TAK BOLEH TAHAN. At that moment Nobuta and Ranma kinda flashed in my mind and I couldn't help but do "Nobuta power, CHUI-NYUU!" by the stariwells. (Of course when no one was looking xD)
And then I had to sit in Hitomi's class.
The girl with the ponytail in the pic below is my host sister. Even the teacher is posing for me sub-conciously.
Aha, I wrote "I don't know" at the bottom of this page. Don't pray-pray okay, their teacher was damn impressed even though I didn't know what I was writing about in the first place. I think he was teaching Science. This lasted for about an hour.
They have hooks for them to hang their pencilboxes/bags/bento. How innovative.
One thing I don't get, why do they all seem to carry the same schoolbags? Elementary schools have a red equivalent of this atrocity. The high school students carry the Nobuta bags Kame and Yamapi carry around. <33>
Then it was lunchtime! If you don't know, Japanese schools have no canteen. They eat in their class. And the students serve themselves.
In the pic below, you see that little boy to the left reading a book? The one with his head bent down? You see him? See him? HE'S DAMN HOT OKAY. I did not expect to see 12-year-old hotties (okay I totally did) but wow, he blew me away. During the whole time I sat in their class I couldn't help but stare at him the whole time. I never did find out his name though.
You see the fat kid there to the right? This one kept talking to me throughout lunch. He repeated "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" to me x2124865451321 times. If it weren't for the fact he was Japanese, I would have gotten really annoyed at him cause
A) He's fat. Fat people in general I don't talk to
B) He repeated his questions so many time any sane person would hit him
C) He prevented the hottie from talking to me.
Lunch! Quite delicious. Fried rice, soup, peanut tasting veg, a banana and a pint of milk.
Not many people talked to me during lunch given the fact that:
A) I was gaijin (foreigner)
B) I couldn't speak much Japanese.
The 12-year-old hottie. YOU SEE HIM?? THIS PIC DOES NOT DO HIM JUSTICE. AND HE'S SO KIND TOO. WHEN THIS GIRL DROPPED HER PENCILBOX, HE ACTUALLY SCRAMBLED OVER TO HELP HER. SUCH A LITTLE ROMEO, I'M IN AWE.
Then at 1, promptly after lunch, my okaasan came to take me home. I was sad to leave cause I didn't have time to take a class picture or participate in their English class! NOOOOOOOO. To make me feel better, she took me to a magazine/DVD shop. xD
The damage. (Note: I bought more magazines than this. These are just the few I bothered to show my okaasan)
Popolo, Myojo, Potato, duet. Not shown: Wink up, ViVi, mini, Zipper, Cutie, FRUiTS. I then spent my afternoon flipping through my magazines with her and gushing over Kazuya. I made the mistake of going, "Kazuyaaaaa my darling!" halfway through which she found HIGHLY amusing. She couldn't stop laughing. Later that night I heard her talking to Vivian's host mum about me going, "KAZUYAAAAA MY DARLING!" >.<>PICTURES OF THE HOUSE:
Typical Japanese bathroom. Consists of a ofuro(bathtub I think) and shower and really low floor that you have to sit down on a stool while bathing. I being jakun did not know this so I ended up squatting while bathing. It was until later that day after watching a dorama, I found out you had to sit on that stool while bathing. I used the stool to put my toiletries on. -_-
Dining table I did not eat on.
Multi purpose table. I ate here, watched TV here, the kids did their homework here. Basically I spent majority of my time in Japan by this table. I did not even sit on that couch ONCE. NOT ONCE. I sat on the floor THE WHOLE TIME. Alethea tells me because of this, that sex with me will be really good cause I've practised the art of sitting the Japanese way which stimulates good sex or good penetration or something. I don't know I wasn't listening cause at the time she informed me this we were passing a magazine shop selling magazines with Kazuya's face on it.
Toilets are a different room from the bathroom. I was so looking forward to this okay? Electronic toilets!! I didn't dare wash my butt with it though, lest I spoil the whole thing.
The kitchen. Really tiny, really messy.
Yamapi on TV. Idk what drama. I watched it anyway.
Sadly I did not get any pics of the house I satyed in!! I know right, 700+ PICS AND YOU DON'T HAVE A PIC OF THE HOUSE BUT THE NEIGHBOUR'S INSTEAD? WHAT LAH YOU NICOLE. STUPID SHIT DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEIZE OPPORTUNITY. Aiyah, whatever lah.Stuff I bought:
END OF DAY 3.

You've Got Mail
Wow, I didn't really expect her to reply! Especially with the broken Japanese I e-mailed her with. Lol. (Shut up, I think I was quite good, researching all the kanji/hiragana crap by myself with no help from my uncle. SEE I DAMN CHUN CAN?)
Remember the KAT-TUN fan I told you guys about? The one who pulled on my sleeve and asked me with wide eyes whether I liked KAMENASHI KAZUYA AND THEN WE FANGIRLED TO OBLIVION SCREAMING AND GOING "OMIGYAD YAYYY HOTONI? HAI!! KAMENASHI DAISUKI DES!"
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I don't think I can sleep tonight now. I'mma go type out a long long long long e-mail to her (with again broken Jap) and then buy an international card (got her phone number) and fangirl. SHE'S BEEN TO A KAT-TUN CONCERT OKAYYY.
Oh yeah, I haven't blogged about her yet. Oops. Day 3 coming soon, I just need to edit some pics. LALALALALALALALA I COULD DANCE ON RAINBOWS LIKE ARASHI RIGHT NOW. HEHEHEHEHEHE.

MY HAIRSTYLIST WAS SO HOT. Master hairstylist some more. WAHHHHH I was practically drooling everytime he touched my hair/face/shoulders.
He was like, "How you want to cut your hair?
In my mind, can I cut like yours? your hair is so fine handsome.
*SPAZZES*
Sorry for the crappy pics, I was trying to be discreet. *ahem* AND you know what's a plus? He really can cut! He gave me exactly what I wanted! SO NICE LAHH!! MY HAIR EXTRA LA LA NOW! YAYYY!!
He reminds me of this dude:

Japan (Part 2)
DAY 2
Woke up around 9 something automatically. You know, morning school is good for something. I actually first woke up at around 5, cause the sun was shining SO bright. *ahem* Anyway, woke up, greeted my dear okaasan with an "Ohiyo gozaimasu!", had breakfast that consisted of last night's meal (Japanese curry; tastes sweet) and then did what I do best. Plonk my butt down on the couch to watch TV.
Now, when I first met my okaasan I told her how much my mum loved Takuya Kimura and SMAP in general. This information apparently she really took to heart. What coincidence! My host mum (okaasan) just L-O-V-E-S SMAP! No, no wait, let me rephrase that: IS IN LOVE WITH SMAP. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. So I spent my first morning in Fukushima sitting in front of the TV watching the SMAP SAMPLE concert DVD that consists of 5, thirty-something year old's dancing around with their little ghei moves (though not as nimble as my dear KAT-TUN ^_^) with my okaasan going, "Shingo! Shingo!" everytime said person turned up onscreen. I decided not to lie and admitted that I did not know any SMAP songs. By the end of the DVD anyway, I am now officially a SMAP fan and as I type, am downloading numerous songs of theirs. My favourite member is Masahiro Nakai. :)
causehe'sjustsodamncute! squeeeeeee
Forgot to put this up yesterday. Almost arriving in Tokyo
After watching SMAP, I was busy channel surfing when suddenly this really weird gay porn drama turn up. First it showed these two nuns who turned out to be guys dressed as nuns making out in a bar. The next scene showed these two guys again this time MAKING OUT ON A BED, TAKING EACH OTHERS CLOTHES OFF. My face was like "O_O!!!!" OMGG SO HOT MAN!! My okaasan was in the background like, "Oh, yaoi! Gay! Gay!"
Then suddenly you see the two of them like, getting it on, on national television in the middle of the afternoon at 2 p.m.. Tell me, how are the Japanese not perverted?
Anyway continuing with the drama, suddenly this woman bursts into the room and she starts yelling at the two of them. From what I can decipher, she is the girlfriend of one the boys making out on the bed. Suddenly the girlfriend gets all angry and yells and cries and flees from the room. One of the boys pulls on his clothes and he's all "Gomenasai! Gomenasai!" while you can see the other dude he was doing slumped on the bed, all spent. Haha. Then the next scene, the girlfriend runs across a busy road with the sorry boyfriend after her. Then it gets even more dramatic. Said sorry (gay) boyfriend gets hit by a car!! :O :O :O
Then the girlfriend is like all "OMG!" and you see the next few scenes of her emo-ing during his funeral and she refuses to eat and her friends are consoling her and blah blah blah. Below is proof. That is a pic of the girlfriend crying at boyfriend's funeral:
I have a REALLY short video of the boys doing it in my camera. I'm just too lazy to upload it onto YouTube. BAH. I love Japanese television. They have gays, emos, accidents and sex all in the middle of the afternoon. Bliss.Picture if the living room.
Then after the TV show, my okaasan took me to Jusco. Lawl, I know. JUSCO! I told her in Malaysia, "Jusco ichiban!" And she was like all, "Hontoni? Hontoni?! Sugoooooooi!!" Then I told her we also had Isetan, and Kinokuniya, Yoshinoya, Takashimaya and she just went crazy.
Petrol stations provide you with a very (clean) sink.
After a long 20 minute ride from GodKnowsWhereILive we finally reached Jusco which turned out to be this really huge building with rides and stuff in it. I was like all "WAAAAAH!" and really jakun. Who cares. Jusco in Japan looks exactly like Jusco in Malaysia so don't get your panties in a twist people. It's exactly the same, maybe cleaner. And then...and then!!!! AHHHHHH I GOT INTO A TRAGIC ACCIDENT, DIED INSTANTLY AND WENT TO JOHNNY'S HEAVEN.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE PICS OF MY KAZU-CHAN FOR SALE!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWOOOOWWWWWWW
*iz ded*Even though this isn't even an official Johnny's shop, (the official one is in Harajuku, somewhere I didn't go *sob*) there are still idols aplenty. Posters, files, pencils, erasers, rulers, neck straps, nail clippers, mirrors, pencil boxes, notebooks, stickers, etc etc all were sold with any idol under the sun PLASTERED ALL OVER IT. I was like hyperventilating and gomen if my pics are all blurry cause I was shaking so much screaming and squeeing over everything plus there was this group of high schoolgirls staring at me. Well you would too I guess, I must've looked like a scene, screaming, taking pictures and going "OMG! KAZUYAAAA! OKAASAN LOOK! KAMENASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" "KAMENASSHIIIIII!!!!" "KAZUYA!!!!" "OMFG! OMFG! OMFG!"
Yeah. That's me. :) And yes, I did buy stuff from this shop. Like, HOW CAN I NOT? And guess what?!! MY OKAASAN BOUGHT ME STUFF TOO!! I was like wandering around touching everything that included Kame dear while she secretly snuck out to pay. When the handed me the package (fully wrapped with ribbon), "For you Nikko-chan (yeah, that's what I was called). All, Kamenashi!" Those words were like gold to me.
"Hontoni?"
"Hai!"
"OMG!!! Arigatou gozaimasu!" *cue lots of bowing and me crying and hugging her and jumping around Jusco* *cue schoolgirls staring even more*
And then, FINALLY we went to the supermarket. Guess who I saw? Koike Teppei! YAYYY!!! I'm a JE roll!
And the we went home where I , heh, watched more TV. TV is so addicting there. The ads are so funny. And did I mention my 10-year-old host sis, Kana is a TV addict? Jesus Christ on a stick, she knows the words to every advertisement on TV and dances and sings along to them and it's so amusing but irritating sometimes.
Eating some crackers, chocolate and MOW.
Kana the TV addict. So weird, she eats a stick ice cream with a spoon.
Doing her homework. Thankfully, she didn't need my help for her English homework. Hohoho.
Then the 12-year-old comes home, Hitomi. Out of the two, I'm going to have to say Kana is the prettier one. Kana is also the one I most relate to, though we couldn't communicate well. Conversation between me and Kana goes something like this:
Me: KAT-TUN daisuke des! Kamenashi hontoni aishiteru!
Kana (K):Hai! Hai. KAT-TUN!
Me: Anata.......*long pause*.............favourite member?
K: ....??
Me: Member-KAT-TUN, daisuke? *does hand gestures*
K: Oooohhhhhhhhh oohhh!!! KOKI!!
Me: KOKI?!?! O_o
Koki? Seriously? Nothing wrong with that but Koki kind of assumes this hard rapper sort of look. When I was 10 I was scared of rappers. Koki is worse. He's a rapper and he does gay moves and dresses up like a woman to give Jin *fake* blow jobs. How is that not scary for a 10 year old?
...
...
...
Oh wait, I forgot. This is Japan. Right. Moving on.
Kana left, Hitomi right.
Dinner is served! I thought I'd hate eating the octupus and slimy seaweed but in the end, that turned out to be the most delicious dish of the lot! SO DELICIOUS!!!
Then after dinner, they decided to perform for me. Awww, how sweet. I'll spare you guys' the video and show you only one picture.
And then 9 o' clock finally arrived!! BAMBINO!!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! My ottosan was like, "MatsuJun?"
Me:"HAI! HAI!! ARASHI!!!!"
Ottosan: Oh...Nikko know Kazunari Ninomiya?
Me: *practically pissing my pants from excitement* HAI HAI!!!11 OMG HOW DO YOU KNOW NINO? AHHH NINO NINO!! ARASHI! SHO! AIBA! OHNO! MATSUJUN!! AHHHHHHH!!!
Ottosan: O_e........ *goes back to eating/drinking beer*
Me: HEHEHEHEHEEHHEE BAMBINO!! *starts humming Arashi's "We Can Make It" which happens to be the show's theme song*
I think he got scared of me after that.
Few snapshots of dearrrr JunJun on TV. Obvsly I took more but I'm really lazy right now, so....
Goodies from the little JE shop! What I bought:
1) Kazuya ruler
2) Kazuya pencil
3) Kazuya pin
4) Kazuya notebook
What my okaasan got me:
1) Kazuya uchiwa! ^_______^
2) KAT-TUN file/stationery set thing
3) KAT-TUN calendar in the form of a poster
4) KAT-TUN playing cards.
WOW, KAT-TUN PLAYING CARDS. NONE OF MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO ESCAPE MY JE WRATH NOW. FANGIRL WITH ME BBZ.
And then it was "Oyasuminasai!" and I fell asleep around 11.30p.m. No the father did not rape me either, I think he's too scared of me now. I have established that I am not worth raping. Heh.
END OF DAY 2
When I say "Lucky!" you say "Man!" "Lucky! Man! Lucky! Man!"
HEEEEEEE ARASHI IS MY CRACK RLY.
