Nice Wednesday...

Today was a good Wednesday.

In the morning, I decided to go to Waseda to check out another Japanese class run by volunteers.

So far, this was the best class I've attended. There are two of us in the group. The other student - a British lady - was about the same level as I am. That was great because our pace was in sync. Aside from that, the teacher was awesome. She was patient. She adjusted her speed of speech to our level. She used a variety of teaching techniques to go through the lesson.

I will defo go back next Wednesday.

After the lesson, I took the train to Kudanshita and walked to nearby Jimbocho. This was the other highlight of the day.

One of the people I follow on Instagram is @garcons_shi. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon his IG account. What I do know is that I followed him as soon as I saw how much of a CDG fan he is.

A few days ago, I messaged him on IG to ask if he was up for lunch. I didn't expect a reply because first, we don't really know each other; second, why would he want to meet up with me. LOL! So, I was really surprised when he agreed to meet up.

He's a nice guy. Of course, he noticed that I was wearing CDG Shirt. I had to wear one because I was meeting him. And besides, why else did I buy all these shirts if I won't wear them.

Anyway, we walked over to a curry rice place nearby. It turns out it was his fave. This is one good thing about being friends with locals. They always know where to go. We had a nice lunch.

The only downside was that we had a limited convo because my Japanese is soo bad. I wanted to ask him so many things and tell him how much I adore CDG but I had to make do with the few Japanese words that I know. Of course, he was also apologetic about his own English language skills.

Still, it was a good meetup. It strengthened my desire to learn the language faster and it also made me want to meet more people, I hope I do.

Come already Comme...

As I get older, and I went out into the world, I realised that it wasn't a very friendly place to be, and I thought, "We need armour..." - DG

Current mood. I really wish that day when I can buy the main line of Comme would already come.

Comme to Daddy...

Despite getting home at 5AM on a Sunday from tugs with Chris, Ian, Tipz, RKGreg, MkSurf8, Makii and Ahmer, I was still up at 930AM. (It's the damn body clock curse. Haha!)

Thankfully, there was no hangover. However, I did miss my supposed meet up with Jeaners. I had a slight headache and I couldn't make it to Outram Park in time to see her.

Initially, I was tempted to just stay at home and "recover." However, I decided I didn't want my entire Sunday to go to waste. I was still okay anyway.

So I thought of things to do while WhatsApping with Pg Boy (who was at Maine at that time I think).

First, I thought of going to the National Museum to check out an exhibit I've been planning to check out. Then I thought why not catch the Taiwanese film GF*BF. Anyway, the NSM exhibit will run until end of the month.

Having decided that, I went online and booked myself a ticket for the 1:25 screening. I left home around 11 so I can go jalan jalan from Orchard to Somerset.

I didn't get to do the leisurely stroll. In fact, I had to do some brisk walking from Ion to Cathay Cineleisure just to catch the movie.

The cause of the almost delay?

I stumbled upon a happy place somewhere and I spent almost an hour or so at the happy place. Haha!

Been wanting to get a CDG shirt for the longest time but I'm too stingy with myself. I just couldn't bring myself to shell out a certain amount for a tee, even if it's CDG. In fact, I haven't really bought any clothes for myself for the longest time.

That's why I was really glad when I walked into this happy place. My heart was racing seriously. That's the effect. Haha!

I kept on checking my watch for the time. There were other pieces that caught my eye but I had to leave already. It was good because otherwise, I would've prolly been damn broke. Eeesch!

Anyway, really happy with the new tees. Birthday came quite early lah! LOL!
