2 Months.

Yup! It's already 2 months since i left Singapore for the Suntec City of Japan (i'm surrounded by 5 mountains and in the middle is my town and a lake...). I tried to get involve with as much thing as possible at first but not having a car and internet for a month really cost me much opportunities to join activities and meet more people. Now that i have my car and internet, nothing much have changed. I'm still hanging out in my room more than trying to get involve with events at school or the community. I guess i'm suffering from some sort of culture shock. I have to get myself out of this situation or i will be wasting precious time and opportunities here.

Anyway, some updates. Teaching is tough! I feel really bad everytime after i screw up a lesson and have watch my fellow Japanese English Teacher clean up the mess. I try to prepare in advance most of the time but that only got me really frustrated because i keep finding myself staring at the text and can't think of anything at all on how to teach the grammar points with minimum japanese. And the fact that the teachers are busy most of the time means they don't really know what they want to do for the next lesson until the night before the lesson. Therefore, i don't know what i need to prepare most of the time (that explains the staring at the text). I hope i can get myself to take more initiative and get more information or communnicate better with my fellow english teachers.

Ok, enough of work. Now for picture time!
