Enyt's Blog

I started to write this blog in 2002 when I was still living in Osaka. This blog is more about my life abroad, my past and my present.

Name:
Location: New York, New York, United States

November is my fav month. I was born in Indonesia 28 years ago and currently living in New York. In the city of no close friends, i spend most of my leisure time at the gym and bookstores and yet i am neither muscular nor a nerd..: ) I take life as it is, i try to get as much as from life experiences while i am still young. I've been given a lot of opportunities to spend my life abroad, my inside curiosity is like a three years old kid. Give me the world, i'll give you my heart. :P

Last night, we watched Dracula 2000 on the video, it's quite scary but not a good movie. Actually it was Henry's idea to rent that movie at 23.00pm, so we walked to the Tsutaya rental shop and also rent two Japanese cds. In Japan, even you rent a movie or a music cd, you have to pay 5% tax on it.
As I was watching, I had to use both my hands to cover my face and left only a small space for my eyes cause I didn't want to watch the scary parts. Sounds like a child watching a horror movie ? ^.^ ( Henry was the "bravest" one while Ken doen't like scary movies at all )

Woke up at 12.30pm this morning(??), cause we slept at 2am after the movie. Ok, it's just an excuse. Usually on weekends, we wake up late in the afternoon and then realize that we're gonna lose half of the day. But that's holiday, right ? :-)

After the lunch, me and Ken went to Shinsaibashi and Namba because I wanted to see "people" and to do some window-shopping. We just walked, walked and walked and later went into the Muji shop. I got myself a book "Japan at a Glance Updated". It's about " a glimpse of japanese life", " japanese culture" and " japan today", it seems interesting to me, so I just bought it. Ken bought a long sleeve shirt for spring. Actually, today Ken did more window shopping than me, I just followed him whenever he got in shops. Well, at least I have a male friend who likes shopping. :- )

Tried to watch "Ocean 11" at Shinsaibashi but it was full and tried again at Umeda, but all the cinemas in there do not have that movie. It's so strange that a famous place like Umeda doesn't have any cinema with that movie !!! I guess that I am going to wait for the video.
Again, we went to sushi tabehoudai, but this time, I didn't feel as full as last time, maybe I have lost the excitement like the first time (that's what Ken said to me). Anyway, I still enjoyed every piece of sushi I ate, I always like it.

Also, I made a call to Tomomi to say goodbye to her as she's leaving for Beijing tomorrow for one year. She is going to deepen her Chinese language. I can say that she is the best Japanese friend I ever have, she has been helping me a lot during the last few months, especially in teaching Japanese and introducing me Kyoto and Osaka. I am going to miss her. We promised to stay in touch. Good luck and wish you the best, my dear friend.
Ah, Ken is also leaving for Beijing tomorrow at the same time with Tomomi. But he will be in Beijing only for three weeks, just for a short term of learning Chinese language.

Meanwhile, I decided to move on 10th next month, just two days before I will have my final exams. I asked my mom about the good day for moving, and she told me that 10th would be fine. I don't know why I still believe in such thing, such as when is the good day to move a new place. Somehow I guess I still have the old chinese tradition inside me. Hah ! Here in Japan, when you move to a new house, you have to eat a soba, called "Hikkoshi Soba". Soba is actually a kind of Japanese noodles and "hikkoshi" means "moving".
