my bday report
pictures to elaborate :)
i did the most ever silliest thing on my last day as a teenager....but i shan't blog about that :p
so this was what happened on my birthday this year

shopping at Shibuya.
I thought of pamperinf myself by buying clothes, accesories, bags and shoes.
But unfortunately, there wasn't much attactive merchandise so i only got a bag from ZARA.
I'm looking for a new pair of boots as a fashion buddy this autumn and winter.

and then we went to Ginza for more shopping and dinner.
Karpie got his shirt from ZARA as well.
We had dinner at a casual french dining in GINZA PRIMTEMPS.

My favourite photo of the day

The cake I bought at a pastry store near my house

this was what Aki-senpai and Miku prepared for me when I went to Aki-senpai's house the other day. They bought those cakes from Aoyama.
More pictures on facebook :)

My summer report...
Since I've quit my job at the English juku(tuition centre), I don't have any earnings for the past few weeks(except for the weekly private tuition with a boy at Shin-Okubo)
Yet I'm having so much fun going out with my friends.
I'm not earning...but I'm spending....
Which means, I'm broke ;p
Fortunately, I'll be having a kenshuu(training) at Catal Tuition Class next week and a job interview next next week at Odakyu Travelling Centre.
SO for the time being, I'm going to have as much fun as I can working out with whatever money I have. Trip to Okinawa with karpie next weekend :)

results from the spring semester is out.
Hm, a lil worse than the previous semester but I knew it cos I had to miss some classes to practise for my stage performance....and some courses I took was so boring I didn't bother working on it.
Lesson learnt from this sem, never take 6gen....u'll lose ur concentration...
and courses for slackers do not suit me.
I'm pretty glad Prof Uchida gave me an A- for evolutionary biology...cos the grade she wrote on my final paper was a B. So maybe I should stick to taking courses related to science, cos thats what I would want to study for. And a surprise A- from Prof Muehleisen :)
Course registraiton for the fall semester starts tmr.
I decided to take up sports this sem cos i'm gaining weight, and i'm not exercising at all x(
