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.

December 2012

Dear Bloggie, 
I am already at Japan at the moment. 
After taking a long flight from KUL to Osaka Kansai International Airport , I feel extremely tired because I could not rest in the flight due to the limited space in the flight. After reaching  Kansai Airport, I undergo a super strict custom in order to prevent terrorism in Japan. Well I kinda understand that situation. After coming out from the Airport, I went to JR West counter and bought the Haruka Express ticket to Shin Osaka Station ( 2470 Yen for a single ride ). Upon reaching Shin Osaka Station I went to the Shinkansen counter and bought a ticket for Sakura express to Kagoshima Chuo Station. Its a excited ride for me as I am doing everything alone. I think the space inside the shinkansen ride is much bigger compare to that MAS flight. MAS flight really need to improve their services. I would much prefer Air Asia if like this. At least the food in Air Asia is much better compare to MAS. Upon reaching Kagoshima, I spend the rest of my day eating and then rest . I think that is all for yesterday. 
Today I am a good mood to explore the place around me. I know how to use the city tram already now. Its not so hard but the first time its going to be a little hard for me. Anyway, I am glad that I know the route map for the city tram. 160 Yen per ride. I spend my day walking around at Amu Plaza located next to Kagoshima Chuo Station (the main terminal for the city). I saw many stuff that is very cute but tell myself not to buy it first because I don't wanna make my luggage heavier. I am so tired carrying the heavy luggage. I ate tamago for and takoyaki for lunch today. Could not finished it. I guess its too much (actually its just very little). Tonight I am going to take another tram to Kishaba and have a small gathering dinner with the senior that is currently studying in Kagoshima University. Hope everything goes smoothly ^.^

Life

Dear Blog, 
I am here just to express out some of my feelings. I am feeling burdened inside my heart. No one seems to understand how I feel. What does most of the people tell me always is just Don't be sad. It doesn't seem to be helping at all. The pouring rain outside is just like the condition I am experiencing right now. I am trying my best to endure everything. Its not easy for me to overcome all this problem. Everyone has their own problem too isn't it ? What a world. But I know that human makes mistake all the time. Its not the first time for me too. 
30th November is coming soon. I will be leaving to Japan soon. There's so much to prepare and I think my preparation is almost done. I hope I am prepare well for all the winter clothes, medication, shoes and all the basic needs that I need. I need to cope with the winter season soon. I need to shape up myself too. Right now in the list that I need to settle by tomorrow is ;
1) Universal adapter
2) A pair of shoes 
3) Hat (maybe) 

Am going to do a final check list on this Thursday. 
That's all for the moment . Logging off.

Happy Holiday to all the students in Malaysia. They are going to experience holiday for almost 2 months. Personally I think, most of the students should spend the time well so that no time is wasted. 2 months is really a long time. As for me, I am still waiting for the offer letter from X University. I had my breakfast with my family today at a Dim Sum restaurant. Had a wonderful breakfast. I am still looking for my suitable degree course. The result for semester 5 came out already. Overall the result is okay just for a subject which is known as food processing and marketing for aquatic products. Ugggh. I am really not into this subject but I have to force myself to study for this subject. In the end, the result is just average. I already tried my best. The marketing part was easy but not so easy. I have no idea about what I am saying too. I have no interest in this subject at all.  What to do... We cannot choose the subjects that we want to study. Totally different with US education system. I wish that the Malaysia Government will look into this matter soon (although I have no idea when it is going to happen). I have to start packing for my luggage soon! Will have updates soon :D

Semester break. Semester break. 
Been looking on the internet whole day thinking about what course and where to further my studies. 
There's so much to think. Will look into an education consultant as soon as possible to seek further assistance. 
At the moment I am still waiting for the acceptance letter from X University. 
Please do let me have it as soon as possible. I want to settle my study visa as soon as possible. After that I can start planning on what to bring and pack my luggage well. 
I don't like the rushing moment of doing everything and totally against procrastination. 
Semester 6... Here I come... 
There's so much to do. I still have 24 days to go which is approximately 3 weeks ... 
I am thinking hardly where I want to proceed with my degree course. 
Although I might be slowly than others but I still think that I am in the right path towards my goal career. I want to earn as much money as I can so that I can repay for everything that my parents had done to me. 
The luggage allowance at the moment is 20 kg??? 
How am I suppose to pack my luggage at 20 kg. Well after thinking it deeply. I have to be super smart in packing my luggage. 
Education. Education. Education. 
What am I suppose to do >_<
Please do give me a guidance. 
PS: Tomorrow is a new day! Begin my search again :D
