ever think of suicide before ?

電車がまいります。1..2..3..自殺してください
Train is coming..1..2..3..be prepare to suicide !!
(I got this from my friend.)

I found it to be very interesting and at the same time it raises my doubt on why do Japanese like to take their own lives.As a matter of fact, Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world.I bet jumping onto a moving train is the most popular suicide style of all.Especially in Tokyo it is almost a daily routine.Japanese trains are so punctual that if it comes late, one can easily guess that the train had bang on someone.

Why human suicides ??

1. Because of lost love
2. Because of stress in job
3. Because of money problem etc

But in Japan I found out that they suicide on different reasons.They can even (1) suicide just because of bullying problem in school or (2)just because they are too bored with their life or (3)just plainly because of embarassment. Isnt it too fragile ?? In Japan everybody can suicide!!From country's top minister,headmaster of a school to a primary school student.And they can even kill their own neighbour just because they are noisy. I was shocked to read a news today that a policeman has took his own life in his very own policebox.Isnt he the one who is suppose to stop people from suiciding ?!!

I cant understand why. Can we call this a different of culture?

To me, no matter how harsh a problem turns out...suicide will never be in my option!!

By the way, today i was asked to introduce my lab in front of my junior so that they can have a rough picture on what to expect and in the meantime help them decide on which lab to choose.
Frankly said, everyone in my lab hates our lecturer especially there is this one girl who planned to critise him to the worst so that nobody will come to our lab next year.She asked me to help...mm..i dont hate him but still i dont like his style...so i didnt promise her.But dont know why,in front of my juniors unconsciously everything came out from my mouth was only bad words about him.

Now i felt a bit guilty as i did something which i had always critise.Am I being influenced into the japanese way of talking bad words behind one's back.

sorry to my sensei...

Short weekend holiday

My school sponsored us,the kisarazu kosen foreign students to holiday yet again. This time it is a bit different as it is a combine trip with oyama kosen foreign students and it is 2 days long. They came to visit our kosen.

On the 1st day, we played a friendly football match. We as the home team lost 2-3 !! such a shame :( When we were leading 2-1,suddenly they got a penalty and a fast goal was soon to follow up too.When we were just trying to attack back, the game was ended by my sensei as it is time to depart. 悔しいです！！
Then we went to a small aquarium museum and day one trip just ended like that. But actually the fun part come in the night when we have our own free time. I teached my kohais and oyama kosen fellow a game called "mafia" and we really enjoyed the game that we played till 4 something.

The next day, our 1st stop was a famous lighthouse called nojima lighthouse in chiba, tateyama area.
Taken from the top.Should have taken the lighthouse horr...abit disappointed :(
Our group photo:
Can u noticed that i'm barefooted ?

Actually before the pic was taken, I ventured into the sea barefooted!!
On the way back, I carelessly fell into the sea and injured my left foot!!Needless to say, for the rest of the day I sited in the bus with my pants wet.can u see the super tiny cut on my foot ? After i got that cut, two beautiful girls came over and helped me cleaned it. A blessing in disguise? haha

Next we visited a shrine which has the biggest marble block on top of its roof.It is being recognised by the world guiness book of record, so says the guide. It cant be seen clearly in this picture, but actually the marble block continues into the pic.

Then we headed to a boat trip where they threw food into the sea to attract madai fish. But sadly, before the slower fish can get a bite on it many birds came and rob it away. But still i enjoy the view of birds too !!
Next we went for some routine souvenirs buying and thats the end of my this short trip. Now i injured both my left and right foot...am worrying now that i cant enjoy snowboard later this month :(

Ｉ ｆａｉｌｅd !!

As the tittle says, I failed !! Fail in what ? I failed in an exam. No ,no not my school exam !! I failed my driving test in Japan !! what a shame considering i have been driving in Msia for more than 3 years. One simple reason,they are damn strict here. It is almost miracle for a foreigner to pass in one go. Ya, Jap almost all passes in one go but we are different. I just applied for a change from Msian license to Jap license and it costs only few thousand yen whereas a normal way(going to driving school , practice blablabla ) will simply costs more than 30 man.

The test is divided into 2 parts of written test and skill test.I easily cleared the first hurdle. After the 1st test i waited for around 2 weeks to sit for the skill test. I wonder why they need such a long time to test me !! Japs just like queueing up for everything.They can queue up for many hours just to buy something. I guess they feel more satisfy when they sweat for the stuff they want. So i suspect they do apply this mentality to driving test too maybe ?? Waiting wont make the driving test look more prestige ok !!

The doom day

Finally the day has come. I have been waiting to fail..haha...as the legend says that foreigner cant pass in one go!! Furthermore i have a one year blank and without practice(one practice session costs more than 1 man~ i better fail for it) i will be sitting for a manual. The ingredients was enough to fail.

The engine stopped the moment i started it. Cis ,the last person didnt set it into freegear. So the test started and before i can finished the course he asked me to drive home. Yup , it means I failed !!
The good thing is they told me where I failed.

1st reason :

Didnt look at my left and right while im driving .

Crazy-kah !! How can i swing my head to my sides while im driving. Of course I'm aware of whats on my side just that i didnt do big actions.
I did check my left and right at junctions and he did agree but just that while driving...argghhh...i still cant believe :(

2nd and the last reason ( ya, 2 is good enough):

Before entering a S-corner , I sided a bit to my right.

Hard to understand ,an illustrated image below !!


He said this will disturb cars on the opposite side. Hey the road is so wide la mister, and it is just so little. aissyhh..

Anyway, it is not that i wanna complain on the system just that im abit frustrated.
To MY driving test instructor,see you again next year. Ya, u got me right! the waiting game starts all over again..i have to wait till next year to sit for it again.


By the way , even before i get a Jap license. I have already been driving in Japan..hahaha
