A Traveller's Log

One month has passed since I left my not-so-beloved Malaysia for Japan.
Japan is quite a nice place for tourism.......but I am not a tourist.
That's a problem.

Here, there are many things that you have to adapt to. And some, I think, I will never adapt very well. Take, for instance, the toilet. When I go to the toilet, I have a very big problem.

How to wash your butt after you shit?

It sounds rather too rough, innit?

But it's a fact, here, they don't design toilets in the same way as Malaysians.
The toilet doesn't have a pipe in it, you see.
They expect you to use the tissue each and every time you use the toilet.
Imagine that. I tried wiping my butt once with the tissue.
It hurt. I got f***ing scratches on my f***ing butt!
No wonder Islam insists on enforcing Islamic country.
It is to make sure that every toilet has a pipe! That's all.
LOL.

Ok, that's one problem. Another problem is regarding the amount of noise I can make in my room.
On weekends, when I got nothing to do, I grab my guitar and sing.
It was morning, 11 o'clock.
I played my keyboard. Then somebody knocked on my door.
I asked him, what's the matter.
He said people were trying to sleep, so keep my noise down.
Woi! It's 11 already! And you're trying to sleep?
My shit.

Ok, that's a problem, too.

Overall, the people have been very kind and nice. A little bit cold, but nice.
I already made some friends, and they are all very nice people.
Of course it is hard to communicate, as there are a lot of things that I don't understand, but they are very helpful.
There are friends that I can sleep together in class.
I tell you, who the hell is stupid enough to take Latin language classes that is taught completely in Japanese?
Ok, I am stupid enough.
Taking Philosophy, for what? I don't understand what the professor is trying to convey.
Ideas of The World, a very awesome name.....but actually the name should be "English-Japanese Transliteration Class".
When I chose "Discrimination Today"'s class, I didn't expect a class in which we are told that confessing that you're a homosexual is a most wonderful thing.
That's the Faculty of Letters,Department of Humanities.
Weird classes.

Lewat Dan Ponteng

Oh tidak.....aku x masuk kelas da......

Thank You, Dear Bloody Cold Wind

Oh well. Misfortune after misfortune.

First, my newly-bought bicycle was rendered unusable because someone locked and took the keys and disappear-I could not pull out the key, nor could I lock it-and I was forced to pull the bike from the monorail station, and on the way, the tyre blew off.

Second, my umbrella disappeared. I put it in the place the Japanese usually put their umbrellas in. After 1 hour or so, I checked it, and it was gone. Somebody must have mistook the umbrellas as his and took it. Well, just buying a new one would suffice, I thought. But the new umbrella couldn`t withstand the strong wind of yesterday. It was damaged the moment I opened it.

Today, I missed the train on 10.14. Which means I am late for the class. When I arrived at the class, the door`s already closed. I cannot enter the class. So here I am, venting in my blog, wondering if I will be able to escape the Go-gatsu Byo.

Alangkah Ganjilnya Tuhan Itu

The title doesn`t have any connection with the post`s contents.
I`m getting used to the environment here, get to socialise with fellow students, whether locals or foreigners, enjoying the classes (I already know in which class I can sleep) and worrying about my loss of appetite, difficulties in finding halal food, skipping prayers and stuff.

At night, I relax in my room and use my phone to access the internet.

I`m lost.

I can`t comprehend the God`s plans for me.

Which is the reason why I used to hate Him so much.

Not anymore, though,　but I realised one thing.

Nothing lasts forever.

Something that begins has to end.

When will my life end?

I can only wait. Until the Death comes, I will work hard to make ends meet.

First Impressions Of Japan

OK....
This is the first week of me in Japan.
My impression?

Well, Japan is, well, different.

A lot of things are here, things that will make you feel as if in your head, suddenly there`s a traffic jam.

The wrong temperature for the position of the sun.
That`s the first thing you notice. The sun is so high up in the sky and yet, the temperature`s freezing cold.

People here are behaving as if they`re controlled by something.
Just my feeling, perhaps.

Getting halal food is as difficult as answering algebraic fractions without calculator. OK, just order food without the meat and chicken.

Who am I to judge.
Still adapting, hopefully the temperature will rise soon.

Amen.

Hujan, Gelap, Bandaraya KL

Tajuk atas ya sekadar merik sedap bunyik. Xda kaitan pun sebenarnya.
Sebenarnya aku mok kelakar ttg camni kita dalam dunia tuk byk hal yg bulak & x best.
Mun dapat, kw mesti mok semua org suka kw ne?
Aku pun cam ya, mok semua org suka. Tp benda cam ya mustahil.
Nabi pun ada musuh, dboh padahla kita yg x maksum towk. Ni ada jalan.

Tp, kurang2 ne, mun x dpt molah semua org suka pun, asal xda org kelaie besar ngan kita udah. Kelaie apa yg aku maksudkan ctowk?
Kelaie yg xtowk berbait agik.
Lalu putus hubungan semua.
Kelaie cam ya x bagus, malahan mendatangkan mudarat kat dua-dua pihak.

Tp, kita manusia towk, xkan lari dr molah silap. Kadang2 kita x perasan pun silap kita. Org lain perasan, ya masalahnya. Ada org camtowk, ada yg camya.
Bukan semua brg nok kita mok bleh jadik.

Aku towk, problem aku towk, byk juak mun dimikir.
Perasan bagus cgek, kedekut cgek, x friendly cgek, selfish cgek agik.
Ya baruk cket, byk agik rasanya. Malaslah mok padah.

Tp, pasal kita ada problem towk, pasal yalah kita mesti mok berusaha mengikis kenegatifan yg bersarang dalam hati kita towk. Dan kita jgn try menghakim org lain. Org putih madah "everyone's heart doesn't beat the same."
Pepatah madah, "rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain."
Ya pepatah melayu, tp rambut manusia towk x semua hitam, makinlah hatinya.
Mesti lain nak?

Time towk ari cam hujan-hujan cket. Luar gelap. Tp dah namanya bandar kl, ne ada gelap gilak.
