5 more days and i am COMING BACK!!!!! woo hoo!!!!!! Yup its my final time typing in this internet cafe and my final weekend here. Time flies *Clap clap*. I am towards my last week of my training.. just completed my last meal and liquor simulation and on the way to my last final test and flight duty before i am going to embark on the plane back to singapore! Singapore.. here i come!!

I cant sleep everynight because i was so excited, busy thinking of what i am gonna do when i am back..and everything. I wonder how will i feel when i touch down singapore. Of course there wont be all the ballons, confetti and hoo haas but its gonna feel really great!!

Let me review on this 6 weeks. This 6 weeks havent been easy. Been through quite alot here and my instructor said that all of us has mature and grow up alot throughout this 6 weeks. First weekI reached here feeling excited yet very lost.. didnt know what to expect and how the training was going to be. We all had this scarey picture painted in our heads. The japanese are going to be very strict and life is gonna be hell for us. I also reached here feeling so miserable that i wanted to go home so much. I dreaded to wake up everyday, i dreaded to go to sleep, i dreaded to go back to dormitary, i dreaded being here in japan. Besides trying so hard to get use to life here, it was also the language and the food that were all so different. And i felt pretty lost because jam got out of my life at that time too. I thought i wont be able to survive the 6 weeks here. I really thought i would die here in japan. Or perhaps i would just pay $3000, pack my luggage and come back to singapore and be a loser all my life. But i am glad i didnt. I went shopping in town with lily and miki that weekend. Standing in the middle of the crowded streets, staring at those grey and unfamiliar buildings and shopping malls, thats when i realised, yes i am in japan.

Second weekThats when emergency training started. I still felt miserable. Everyday i would complain and complain, i smoked alot too. But i somehow managed to divert all my energy to studying and training instead. I still felt quite miserable and lonely, many times even crying myself to sleep. I wanted this emergency thing to be over. It was tough because we had to do drills, running around and remembering all the door operations stuffs. I guess the best part is that i had very nice instructors!! I also enjoyed sliding down the slides. I was so scared at first. Yes yes i am afraid of heights but since i am already there why dont i just slide down and get it over right? hahaha.. and i did it so many times that i didnt even have to look when i slide down for the last time. I guess i did my emergency test pretty well too. Though i did freak out last the rest did(i couldnt read out the japanese evacuation instructions and i did quite a few mistakes in the test), i guess i was relatively ok. I am satisfied with my performance though i should actually put in more effort. That weekend, i went out with my class girls to Disneyland. My first trip there, quite disappointed with it but i still wana go to the disneyland in US! hehe.

Third Week & fourth weekI finally put on my uniform. Training resumed at my training centre. I kind of got used to the life here. I find myself enjoying staying in my room so much. Its so cosy and so private. Its all my own space! i felt responsible to take care of my own things n my room. i have to clean it up, wash my clothes, keep everything clean and stuffs. I still got quite upset at times but i am glad my parents were there for me. Ru called me every other day too. Sometimes i would also call them using my hp but my phone bills shot high man.. i just got my bills! It cost me my whole months pay! 600 dollars yes. argh!!

This week and the coming week Things have fallen into place, we all could finally see where we are heading．We did our meals, liquor and flight simulations. We did alot more hands on things and all of us can relly see that we are going home!!!!! Like what my instructor said, i realised that i have become more mature to a certain extent. I think all of us changed without realising it! I just had an interview with her yesterday and well, it was good. It wasnt as scarey as the interview i had in singapore. The one that i received the bad news and i almost fell apart. Schaling is coming to see us next week. She's our singapore instructor and i hope she will be proud to see how well i am doing now. Besides all the good stuffs, of course there are bad parts where there are alot of politics and gossips. Life is full of those craps. just dont get too involved i guess. I have also gotten so used to the life here that i overslept so many times for work and the incident on the most recent friday was the worst! I woke up at 6.45am!! Thats supposed to the reporting time!!!! But i am glad the girls came to help me and the friendly bus driver waited for me for 15 mins. Thank god man!!! i really owe the girls alot!!! thank you all so much!!!I am glad that this whole training is coming to an end .. the hell is ending. lol. But i am also kinda sad because its like once in a life time kind of thing. All the things wont be the same again after we complete this coming thursday. The same grp of people will never be together anymore. My dear friends wont be here with me anymore. I wont get to go shopping with my class girls anymore. I wont get to enjoy tatami dinner session dinner with them anymore. I wont get to drink ume shu in our dorm rooms anymore. and so many things!!! Sigh. I think i am gonna be quite upset this coming thurs. i better go and prepare water proof mascara first. lol..

oh ya!!! i finally tried Ma Rou sashimi!!! Horse meat sashimi!!!! but i was kinda disappointed because it isnt as nice as i expected it to be. So sad!! it actually tasted abit too raw.. like full of blood! But their salmon and maguro was great!!

Looking forward to coming back this friday. my plane will be reaching singapore at 5.15pm.. that means i will leave japan at 11.00 plus. Woo hoo! its flight JL719 terminal 1. I think Ru will be coming to fetch me. hehe.. i cant wait to go clubbing!!! ahhHhhhhhhhhhh.. i cant wait to go home and have dinner with my parents.... i cant wait to see my bro and pass him the bday present that i bought for him!!!! weeeeee..... singapore, i am coming home!!!!!!
You've got the poison, I've got the remedy.
