Happy Chinese New Year 2013

Dear Bloggie!
Sorry for not updating for such a really long time. I think its been like for 3 months that I did not spend time blogging. 
First of all, I want to wish everyone Happy New Year and Happy Chinese New Year . Welcome to the year of Snake! 

I could not celebrate this year new year with my family since I am in Japan. There is no holiday in Japan during Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year. I am wondering is there any festive feeling. 
The answer could always be NO. Hahahaha... 
I hope that all people in this world are always in good luck and fortune. Everyone should have the luck and fortune that they should have :)
I spend my chinese new year at university laboratory ^.^ 
I am happy when I called my beloved godmother and grandmother and also my mother during the new year. Its nice to hear that my family members are in good condition. 
I know that my mother is busy with the coffee shop. So she also seldom contact with me now. As long I know that she is safe over there, then should be no problem. I am taking good care of myself in Japan too. 
I am learning to be independent in Japan. As usual, I don't really feel that there is a huge difference situation while I am in Japan. I am sure my mother is glad to hear that. Haha. 
During my time in Japan, I have experience a lot of things that are completely different from my own country Malaysia. 
I love studying here because everything should be done by students itself which enable me to learn everything during my exchange here. I learned a lot. Its really a lot. I want to thank all my supervisor in Kagoshima University that have give me a lot of guidance during my exchange in Kagoshima University. 
I also took the chance to visit several places in Japan such as Osaka, Kumamoto, Fukuoka , Kokura and many more. This is definitely a new experience for me again. 
I took several times shinkansen (the bullet train) during my stay in Japan too! 
Now I know how the system of transportation in Japan works. It may sound complicated but its only for a while. But I still think that the subway system is confusing me. I am still figuring out which exit to use for every station. I guess I need to stay here for a really long time to figure out how to use the subway properly. They are not like the MTR I took in Hong Kong last time. 
MTR is a lot easier and user friendly. They will calculate the fare for you once you press the destination that you want to go in the machine. But for subway, you need to calculate the fare yourself by looking at the fare board located right in front of the ticketing machine. 
Here is a picture I took with my course mate and also one of my supervisor at Sakurajima ; the icon for Kagoshima Prefecture. Sakurajima is an active volcano that is located nearby Kagoshima Bay. Many of the tourist come here everyday to experience the eruption of the volcano by their own eyes. 

Me and my Beloved course mate/Best friend : Liyana Syamimi in front of Sakurajima; the famous volcano in Japan 

Me and one of my supervisor : Ishikawa sensei :)

Took Sakurajima Ferry to Sakurajima island ^.^

Overall, the trip to Sakurajima island was good since it is my first time visiting that island. From far, the volcano looks really nice but from near its like nothing special. I get to see this volcano across Kagoshima city everyday! Its so miracle and amazing. I appreciate everything that happen to me right now. Its almost the end of my exchange student program/internship program. I want to spend my good time writing a good final report and also present it to my supervisor in University Malaysia Terengganu. I don't want to dissapoint myself, my family and my lecturers that has high hopes on me. Right now, some of my friends are already registering for their undergraduate program. 

I will be doing it soon. Many things is still going on in my brain/mind. Good luck with that Peggy. 

Love From Peggy.
