My first month in Japan has passed

Time really do flies. My first month in Japan has passed. I arrived on a significant day of May 3rd. Suppose to arrive on May 2nd, but well, coincidence maybe? Or fate...I arrive on May 3rd instead hahahah.

Studies are getting tougher day by day as we raced to master the language in a short one year. Expenses are also raising. Especially now that I have a phone. Monthly nearly RM100. Don't know what phone so damn expensive, so I am forced to cut down other type of expenses like food and daily uses. My classmates are all looking forward to eat at a syabu-syabu shop recommended by my teacher, which is cheap in terms of Japanese yen, but very expensive when I convert it to Malaysian RM...about nearly RM100. Aiyo...I eat steamboat at Malaysia also 3 times cheaper than that la. Even buffet cost in hotels or fancy restaurants cost less than RM100. So I decided not to go. I cannot afford RM100 for one single damn meal. That amount of money can support me for at least a week or more.

Next week I am heading to Yokohama (expenses again) to visit my guarantor. Without him and his family I would never even be in Japan. So this visit is definitely necessary. Too bad I don't have any money to buy something for the visit...it is Japanese custom to buy some stuff when you visit a Japanese person's house. But I think they understand foreign students like me have a hard time with money...so they won't expect much I think. I hope the weather will be good, as now is the raining season...and that I will enjoy my time there with some of my friends who will come along with me.

I miss my music...and Malaysian food definitely...even fast food like McDonald's haha. Next time come back must eat!!!
